HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Count On Us To Help You Through

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BANK’S CLOCK? Once Upon a Time, there was a four-sided clock on the northeast corner of 23rd and Market Streets, in front of the house that had been converted for use as the Camp Hill National Bank. It was very helpful to those who didn’t wear a watch, or whose hands were too busy to push up their sleeve to read their watch! (It’s pictured left of center, above the heads of parading 1940’s children) When the bank built its new construction at 21st and Market c. 1955, the clock was relocated as well.

Losing someone you love is difficult. Dealing with all the decisions that have to be made can be challenging.

In times like this, you can rely on the Parthemore family to help you. We will guide you through your options and help simplify your decisions.

717-774-7721 www.Parthemore.com Gilbert J. Parthemore, Supervisor

1303 Bridge Street, New Cumberland, PA

with the assistance of State Senator George Wade, donated the by-then-erratic time-pieces to the town of Boiling Springs!

There, the four clock faces were completely overhauled, and installed in this grand memorial in Boiling Springs on July 4th, 1957.

The next time you are in Boiling Springs, notice the Memorial Tower at the foot of Children’s Lake. Take a closer look -- those are “our” clock faces!

Are you old enough to remember the green square border around the four faces?

EAGLE SCOUT AWARD EARNED

Camp Hill Borough would like to thank Jordan Mermelstein for the renovation to our Memorial Day Stage in the Camp Hill Cemetery.

The ribbon cutting for the new stage was held on Memorial Day and we all appreciate his efforts towards this project. Congratulations Jordan on earning your Eagle Scout Award. Well Done!

Public works & Codes STREET SWEEPING • Street sweeping ENDS week of October 17th • Sweeping will continue after that date on an as needed basis only.

• Sweeping takes place the day after your regular trash collection day on the second and forth weeks of the month.

• Please avoid placing grass clippings, tree limbs, or any other debris in the street.

This can cause damage to the sweeper and create down-time for the operator, resulting in an inability to maintain or complete the schedule.

• Property owners are also asked to keep trees along the curb line trimmed to a minimum of 14 feet above the street so the sweeper can work close to the curb without damage to the machine.

• Please check the Public Works page on the Borough’s website for updates as the year progresses.

PAVING UPDATE The schedule for paving in Camp Hill Borough will be available on our website in the coming weeks.

LEAF COLLECTION • Fall leaf collection BEGINS Monday October 24th • Leaf collection ENDS on or about December 9. This may change due to early winter weather events.

• Leaf collection is the day after your trash collection day, weather permitting.

• Leaves should be windrowed along the curb or edge of the roadway.

• Do not place branches, grass clippings, rocks or any other debris in leaf piles. This can cause catastrophic damage to the leaf collection machinery or personnel.

• Do not leave cars parked along the street on the day of leaf collection. This may prevent staff from collecting the leaves around the vehicles.

• Remember to keep all trees along the curb line trimmed to a minimum of 14 feet above

the street so the equipment can operate along the curb line. Areas with obstructions will not be done to prevent costly equipment damage.

• Please check the Public Works page on the Borough’s website for any updates that may occur.

CODES ENFORCEMENT SHADE TREES • Where a tree is along the right of way within the borough, it shall be considered a shade tree. Any cutting, removing, or replanting requires a shade tree permit • Shade trees are the property owner’s responsibility. Be sure the tree is not impeding the sidewalk or street. We require an 8’ vertical clearance of shade trees over the sidewalk. The vertical clearance from the curb to 6’ toward the street requires 14’ of clearance. From that point 18’ of vertical clearance is to be met above the middle of the street.

• Tress that don’t fall within the right of way but still impede the streets or sidewalks are subjected to the clearance regulations • Trees that do not meet the definition of a shade trees but are extends over onto your property doesn’t get recognized as a code matter. The owner has the right to cut back the adjoining tree back to their property line. This falls as a civil matter between neighbors for costs.

SIGN PERMITS Before any sign is put up promoting a business or event, be sure to check the sign ordinance. Only a handful of signs are excluded from permits so be sure to check and apply for the signs prior to placement.

Where signs are fastened to a structure, a building permit may also be required. Where off-premises signs are planted throughout the borough, they will be removed. Signs are not to be placed on street signs or utility equipment.

Clubs and Events DUMPSTERS We have a dumpster ordinance for any dumpster, rubbish container, pod, street storage device that is placed either on the street or the private property. The dumpster permit is good for up to a month and shall be submitted prior to placement.

ZONING & BUILDING PERMITS Please be sure to check with the code and zoning department prior to any work performed to see if a zoning permit or building permit are required. A zoning permit is always required when: • Use, occupation, erection, construction, reconstruction, addition, conversion, alteration, movement, razing, demolition, removal, placement or extension (vertical or horizontal) of any structure or building.

• Change in the type of use and expansion of the use of a structure, building, or area of land, including non-conformities.

• Creation or establishment of a new use of a structure, building, or area of land.

Zoning permit items include pools, fences, sheds, carports, sidewalks, patios, decks, building additions, layout changes of exterior items, etc.

Depending on the type of project a building permit may also be required. We use a third-party for plan review for our building permits so please be sure to have those permits in at least a month before you anticipate beginning the project.

PROPERTY MAINTENANCE Please be sure to keep up with your lawn care as well as noxious weeds and plants.

This ties in with the trees where we don’t want either trees or shrubbery impeding the sidewalks. Cut accordingly

It may be the slow time of the year, but the Camp Hill Lions are busy trying to recruit new members. Save us footwork and call to join us. All are welcome to attend a

meeting and enjoy a free meal. We have cleaned up our adopted part of Trindle Road. Unfortunately it doesn’t last long before it is a mess again. And back we go.

We awarded a $2,500.00 HAAC scholarship to a deserving senior student. A scholarship in this amount is available to a Camp Hill student each year. We had fun providing hot dogs at the park on Memorial Day. Thanks to all of you who supported us, as we ran out!

Always a good thing. The Camp Hill Lions are always available for anyone or anything that could use help. Think about visiting us and we will be there to greet you. Jo Bailey 717-761-8129.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB

Our only goal is to try to preserve/improve Camp Hill’s water, air, land, and flora. If you would like to join us or get additional information on what we do, visit the borough website www.camphillborough.com or contact Paul Garrett at 717- 514-3546 or paulgarrett40n@gmail.com Projects include picking up trash on borough streets, cleaning the Conodoguinet Creek, promoting recycling at borough athletic fields and planting trees in the Conodoguinet Creek riparian buffer area.

Food for Thought: Balloon releases Traditionally used to celebrate weddings, graduations, and other special occasions as well as to commemorate memorials. While popular and festive, balloon releases have several harmful environmental implications besides litter: Seabirds ingesting plastic may become sick or die. A balloon string may wrap around marine life causing injury, illness, and suffocation. Sea turtles may experience a clogged digestive system resulting in starvation, since shiny, vibrant Mylar material resembles their favorite food—jellyfish.

Recreation Department

What a great summer we are having in 2022! We started it off with the return of our Memorial Day Parade. It was great to see the community outside enjoying it together. Then we opened our pool and snack shack. We have seen a lot of familiar faces and new ones splash around or relax poolside. In June, we kicked off our camp season and have had a lot of children enjoying our camps, thanks to the hard work of the counselors. In June, we also kick off our Box Lunch Review with music and lunch. Thanks to Mid Penn Bank, Service 1st Restoration, HRG, Conte Wealth Advisors and Tanya’s Cookie Boutique for their sponsorships to this program.

I would also like to thank all the instructors, counselors, lifeguards, snack shack staff, front desk staff and pool managers for a great job this summer. The programs, camps and pool would not have been a success without your dedication. We have a great team here in the Recreation Department and I truly appreciate every single one of them. They all made sure the community had fun!

We are working on some special events coming up this fall, so be

What’s it like to be a Girl Scout?

In the words of Paige Mattucci of Troop 11477, Senior Level:

“I’ve been a Girl Scout for 11 years. My favorite things are the trips and camping. This year, I went on my first backpacking trip. I hiked 8 miles roundtrip carrying a 20-25lb backpack and camped using Leave No Trace principles. I love being out in nature. These experiences will help give me the knowledge and confidence to go on longer backpacking adventures when I’m an adult. And, this year, I look forward to working on my Gold Award project (the highest award a girl can earn). Girl Scouting gives girls opportunities to explore their interests while having fun with friends.”

Cornhole Block Party...

THANK YOU Volunteers & Community!

Our second annual Cornhole tournament, held on a gorgeous summer Saturday in June, was a roaring success! It was wonderful to see families in Camp Hill and beyond come together to enjoy a day of games, food, community—and, of course, cornhole.

The day couldn’t have been possible without the hard work of our volunteers, many of them students, who donated everything from long-neck bottles for our ring toss to hot dogs for our food stand.

Without you, the tournament would not have been possible. We appreciate you!

Teacher Spotlight, Amanda Rhykerd doing things independently, whether that’s playing a game or knowing how to occupy your time.

CHAPLIN How do these skills help students in school and in life?

Emma Chaplin, The Lion Foundation’s intern during the 2021-22 school year, interviewed Camp Hill Life Skills Teacher Amanda Rhykerd, who has received Lion Foundation grants to bring her innovative ideas to the Life Skills classroom.

CHAPLIN Could you tell me how you define life skills?

RHYKERD Life skills is teaching students the basics of life, and how to be successful with skills that we all inherently have—but we’re teaching our students those skills directly because they struggle in that area. When I think of life skills I think about cooking and reading texts in your environment. I think about leisure, so

RHYKERD I think that it’s always important, especially for our population of students, to think about what their outcomes are, because they differ greatly from a neurotypical student. We think about what those outcomes are and then we really think about the skills such as leisure, cooking, even daily living skills like personal hygiene.

CHAPLIN That’s awesome! Could you tell me how many students are currently served by the life skills classroom?

RHYKERD Right now, we have 8 full time students.

CHAPLIN And how has the funding from The Lion Foundation made your classroom better?

RHYKERD I think the biggest contribution has been the Look N’ Cook curriculum. We actually fill a whole period

18

everyday with a cooking curriculum. We differentiate based on what students know and what they need to learn, and it really has given us an opportunity to capture some real life skills that they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to experience.

CHAPLIN Great! My final question is: what is your favorite thing about your job?

RHYKERD My favorite thing about my job is definitely seeing students hit those small successes. To a lot of people they would seem small, but to them and to us they’re huge. That might be learning to tie your shoe, or learning how to read a new word. Seeing a student be excited that they succeeded is definitely exciting for me.

CHAPLIN Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us! **This interview was lightly edited for space.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE Camp Hill Community,

I am pleased to report that the Camp Hill School District 2021-2022 school year ended very successfully.

This is best exemplified by the sustained level of excellence that our one hundred and six graduating seniors demonstrated in the areas of academics, athletics, the arts, and altruism. Our faculty and staff have been working diligently this summer in preparation for our 2022-2023 school year that commences for students on August 29th. This includes the areas of safety/security, curriculum review/revision, student scheduling, extended school year and many other student and mission focused initiatives. Please see the full school district calendar and the full list of events on the district website at www.camphillsd.k12.pa.us.

Many of our Camp Hill 1st through 5th grade students have been sharpening their math and language arts skills this summer in our Summer Express Program. Also, many of our secondary grade level students are taking advantage of two CHSD summer academic camp opportunities as they hone their algebra skills and prepare for the SAT and/or the ACT college entrance examinations. We are excited to begin this coming school year with a renewed and unwavering commitment to providing all students with skills, foundational knowledge, and opportunities for lifelong success.

Very Respectfully, Daniel D. Serfass Superintendent, Camp Hill School District
