Thank You Camp Hill Borough
Thank you Camp Hill Borough for making Century 21 Realty Services the #1 choice to sell your house. In 2017 we represented more sellers than any other real estate company. We are told the reason more sellers turn to Century 21 Realty Services is because we understand the real estate values and benefits of living in the Camp Hill Borough. Since 1976 we have been representing Camp Hill Borough sellers to get the best value for their houses. Many of our agents grew up in Camp Hill, went to the schools and still live in town. All of our agents continue to give back to our community. This is a tradition instilled by our family since the 1950s. If you are thinking of selling and want top value for your house, please call us.

PUBLIC WORKS
STREET SWEEPING
Street sweeping will continue through the fall. The last week of street sweeping will be the week of October 22nd. Sweeping will take place the day AFTER your regular scheduled trash collection on the second and fourth weeks of the month. Please avoid placing any debris in the street. This can cause damage to the sweeper and down-time for the operator resulting in an inability to maintain the sweeping schedule. Property owners are also asked to keep trees at the curb-line trimmed to a minimum of 12 feet above the street so that the sweeper can work close to the curb without damaging the machine. Please make every effort to move parked cars, trailers and basketball hoops from the roadway/street Right-ofWay so the operator cannot effectively clean the street.
COMPOST FACILITY
The Compost Facility is for Borough residents only. The Compost Facility is located next to the Public Works building on S. 24th St. The facility will be open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30 am to 3 pm and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 7:30 am to 5 pm. The facility is closed on Sundays and Holidays. Yard waste such as leaves, garden debris, tree limbs, bushes and plants may be dropped at the facility. Items that are not accepted include grass, topsoil, sod, tree stumps, bamboo or any form of dimensioned lumber. Leaves maybe left in brown compost bags only – NO PLASTIC BAGS! Staff will load your truck or trailer on Mondays and Fridays from 7:30 AM to 8:30 am. The borough may close the facility at any time to process/haul material. It is a citable offense to drop materials at the facility when it is closed. NOTE: Residents may place yard waste items curbside on the 1st and 3rd Saturday from April thru November.

Public Works LEAF COLLECION SCHEDULE
Leaf collection will begin on Thursday, November 1, 2018. Leaves may be raked into the street five (5) days prior to your regular scheduled curbside collection schedule. Leaves should be windrowed along the curb or edge of the roadway. • Leaves prior to the November 1st start date can be brought to the Compost Facility or can remain on your property until the curbside leaf collection begins. • Residents are encouraged to place leaves curbside during the 1st and 3rd Saturday’s during the months of October and November for PennWaste to collect. Leaves MUST be in cans or recycle leaf bags. • DO NOT blow or rake grass, sticks or other yard debris in the street at any time. This is a violation under Ordinance § 176-10 regarding the prohibition of creating obstructions on the streets & sidewalks. • DO NOT place branches, grass clippings, rocks or other debris in with leaves. Any foreign objects placed in leaf piles may result in fines and suspension of leaf collection service. • DO NOT leave cars parked along the street the day of your leaf collection. • PLEASE remember that inclement weather will delay the leaf collection schedule. Residents are encouraged to take leaves to the Compost Facility located next to the Public Works Facility at 422 S. 24th Street. The Compost Facility hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm and Tuesday.
WINTER MAINTENANCE
Plowing borough streets after a snow event is a time consuming process.
Following a few simple guidelines can make the operator’s job safer and more efficient: • Pay attention to local forecasts as winter weather and road conditions can change very quickly. If it is necessary for you to drive, please do so responsibly. • Minimize driving as much as possible during and immediately after a snow event. The fewer the vehicles on the roadway allows the roadway to be cleared more quickly and efficiently. • Remove vehicles and trailers from the street prior to a winter event. This will allow the operator to clear the street from edge-to-edge. • Remove basketball hoops from the borough right-of-way. • Please keep a safe operating distance from all vehicles providing winter maintenance. • If you have a mailbox along the roadway, periodically check to ensure that the post and mailbox are in good condition. The post and mailbox must be sturdy enough to withstand snow coming off the plow blade. • Never push, blow or shovel snow into a cleared roadway. • Never attempt to stop or flag down a truck driver while plowing. • Clearing a space along the curb or edge of road before your driveway will reduce the amount of the snow placed in your driveway. • Wait until the street is completely cleared before shoveling the end of your driveway. • Operator’s will often make multiple passes on the same street. • Plow drivers cannot direct snow as it comes off of a plow. Plow blades are fixed to dump snow to the right.
Willow Park Stream Improvements Coming!
The Borough of Camp Hill has secured a qualified contractor to improve the quality and condition of the unnamed tributary to Cedar Run in Willow Park. The project is funded by a DEP grant from the Growing Greener program. The work will involve stream realignment, the installation of grade control structures or step pools to control the direction and velocity of the water and will improve the bank stability by planting woody vegetation creating a riparian buffer. The project will also include repurposing a concrete pad within the park that will be used as an environmental kiosk for park visitors. The work will begin in late August and will be completed by March of 2019.

BOROUGH-USE-ONLY DUMPSTERS
The Recreation Commission is bringing attention to local volunteers of our Community in each newsletter. If you know volunteer you would like to recognize submit a short write-up about them to Jon Arosell at jarosell@messiah.edu. Our volunteer spotlight this quarter is in recognition of Gary Rini • involved in the many movie nights he has either hosted or helped out with the Recreation Commission • puts on a Halloween Show involving his house and part of the neighborhood that is the center of attraction on trick or treat night. The planning and thought the he puts into the event is unbelievable! • started “Guys Night Out” years ago. This event is responsible for raising a significant amount of money for various causes including the Lion Foundation and the Camp Hill School District. Gary has been a resident of Camp Hill for many years and has 5 children who have been through the Camp Hill School District. He is always the first to step up and help out anywhere he is needed. With less face to face contact these days volunteering helps you connect with the community. What you will find out is that you always get more than you give. If you are interested in serving on the Recreation Commission or volunteering upcoming events, contact Audrey Logar @ alogar@camphillborough.com.
Borough dumpsters located at Siebert Park (by the pool and cabin), Fiala Field, the end of South 30th Street and behind the Borough Building are for Borough Department use only. Dumping in, or in the vicinity of, the dumpsters by private individuals/households is a citable offense and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent provided by law
TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS
All traffic signals have different phasing plans for the time of day. The controller, which is placed in a cabinet at an intersection and does exactly what the name implies, has a morning, afternoon and evening phase because traffic demand varies at different times of the day. The signals have pre-set timings that repeat throughout the day and always include time for pedestrians to cross the roadway. These preset timings should be studied periodically to ensure that they are accurate, in case minor adjustments can be made to make the intersections operate more efficiently. The borough will be studying the Market Street corridor in 2019 to increase efficiency. Pedestrian or “Push Button” signals help get the pedestrian across the street safely. There are two ways in which pedestrian signals can operate: Concurrent Pedestrian Phase and Exclusive Pedestrian Phase. The Concurrent Pedestrian Phase is the method of providing the walking time at the same time as the green light in the
same direction. Vehicles are required to yield to pedestrians within the crosswalk if they are turning. This phasing will help to reduce congestion and decrease travel times, because traffic can continue simultaneously, yielding to pedestrians. The Exclusive Pedestrian Phase provides a separate phase of the traffic signal where all vehicle lights turn to red, and walking time allows pedestrians to cross the street without any vehicle movement in any direction. This phase requires that the pedestrian push a button and wait to cross until the next phase of the signals. Although this phasing requires the pedestrian to wait longer to cross the road and decreases the level of service of the intersection, it is safer for pedestrians. Nearly all pedestrian signals in the borough are the Exclusive Pedestrian Type.
DOWNTOWN CAMP HILL ASSOCIATION
In July of 2016, a report was done by the Urban Land Institute regarding the Camp Hill Borough Business District Corridor. The report offered several suggestions for strengthening the downtown. One suggestion was to create an organization to promote the downtown and act as a liaison between the businesses and Borough Council. In early 2018, Simone Collins Landscape Architects prepared a streetscape plan for the corridor. The plan suggested that a main street manager be hired to promote the district.
CAMP HILL BOROUGH’S VOLUNTEERISM AWARD
Camp Hill Borough is fortunate to have so many people who give back to this community and many people don’t realize who they are or what they have done. This will be our 6th year for this award and this individual should be someone who has made one or more outstanding and significant volunteer contributions in some facet to Camp Hill Borough. All details and the application can be found at www.camphillborough.com and in the Camp Hill Borough Office.

The Historical Society Times are Always Changing
Once Upon a Time (mid-to-late 1940’s) in Camp Hill, there was a very special thing you could bring to a child’s birthday party – a pony! Accompanied by a photographer of course. Check out the sheer delight of this birthday boy’s smile! That was the era of cowboy heroes. Although there were some comic book heroes such as Superman, the comic book and radio show fictional character the Lone Ranger, and real-life cowboy actors such as Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and Tom Mix were most little boys’ (and girls’) day-dream friends. (I for one dreamed that I was the long-lost daughter of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.) If you were really lucky a few years later, you had a friend with access to the pool at the Naval Depot in Mechanicsburg. Our version of a destination party! These were a far cry from a more recent era’s Chuck E Cheese extravaganzas! This youngster, eating in his high chair – eating what was put in front of him by the way, not special short-order-cook fare – is shown with the kitchen stove in the background. This was a very nice gas stove from the pre-WWII era. There’s a shelf at the top for salt and pepper and a timer, or whatever the cook wanted to keep at hand. The warming oven below the main oven, was a boon for keeping all elements of the meal warm prior to serving.

Girl Scout Gold Award
Girl Scout Service Unit 157 is happy to congratulate four girls who earned their Gold Award. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. Over the years, it has been called the Golden Eaglet, the Curved Bar, First Class and finally the Gold Award. There has never been a time when Girl Scouting has not had a highest award. Girl Scouts is a volunteer run organization begun by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912. Today, 1.8 million girls and 800,000 adults participate. Of those girls, only 5.4% of eligible Scouts earn the Gold Award. Research shows that girls learn best in an all-girl, girl-led, and girl-friendly environment. Girl Scouts unleashes the G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ in every girl, preparing her for a lifetime of leadership.

Dear Friends I hope everyone is having a great summer and has had a chance to catch one or more of the community events, programs or camps we offered this summer. It has been great seeing so many using the pool, turf and track over the summer months. If you still don’t have an access card for the stadium, be sure to read the information in the Recreation Section about how to receive one. The response to the Box Lunch Review this summer has been wonderful. Thanks to Highmark, Mid Penn Bank, Service 1st Restoration, FirstLight Home Care and Conte Wealth Advisors for their sponsorships to this program. I would also like to thank all the camp counselors, pool staff, snack shack staff and instructors for a great job this summer. The participants at all the camps and programs as well as everyone visiting the pool enjoyed themselves thanks to their hard work. There were hundreds of children who enjoyed Siebert Park Day Camp, Pre-school Summer Adventures, Boys and Girls Basketball Camps, Soccer Camp, Theatre Camps, Field Hockey Camp, Track Camp, Science Camps, Football Camp, Tennis Lessons, Wrestling Camp and Scuba Program.
Thank you,

Summer is always an exciting time as we press the refresh button and gear up for a brand new school year. The cleaning of our buildings and repair work are always a priority during the summer months. If you’ve walked, biked or driven by the Middle School/High School within the last few weeks, you have certainly noticed that we have a few summer construction projects in full swing. The first phase of a five year plan, researched and developed by EI Associates, began this June. The goal of the 5-year plan is to preser ve the infrastructure of the Middle School/ High School both inside and out. During this first phase, the masonr y over the entire building is being repaired and cleaned, sealing up any cracks and crevices that are causing water to infiltrate the building. Several areas are being repainted and abandoned vents will be bricked in, giving the outside a fresh look . Inside the building, plumbers are changing out aging sanitar y piping throughout the building. Below we’ve provided a few pictures taken during these projects to highlight the need of replacing the sanitar y piping and the results of the masonr y work . The Buildings & Grounds Department is ver y excited that the first phase of the preser vation process is underway and is looking for ward to additional projects throughout the next 5 years. Moving for ward, the Camp Hill School Board of Directors has approved a continued partnership with EI Associates for the design phase of a construction project at Hoover Elementar y School. The Board is planning two community stakeholder events in October to provide information regarding the construction design details and the financing plans for all of the projects included in the 5-year Middle School/High School plan as well as the Hoover Elementar y School project. Additional details regarding these events will be available in August.

NEW DISTRICT VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM This summer, the Camp Hill School District began implementing a new visitor management system at each school building. The name of the system is School Gate Guardian and it requires any visitor entering any one of our schools to provide a state-issued photo ID. The ID will be scanned and checked against the national sexual offender database. Visitors who are cleared will receive a printed ID badge that includes their photo and name. The badge is self-expiring, so it cannot be reused. At the conclusion of the visit, visitors must return to the main office of the school to scan their badge before exiting. The process to scan an ID, run the check and print a visitor ’s badge takes approximately 30 seconds to complete. The system does recognize return visitors once a state issued photo ID has been scanned. The new system will officially go into effect at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year but is being tested throughout the summer of 2018. Please be sure to o bring your photo ID with you when you plan to visit our schools. For more information, visit the Facilities Management section of the District website at www.camphillsd.k12.pa.us.

POLICE DEPARTMENT NIGHT OUT TUESDAY, AUGUST 7TH
We would like to thank all of our sponsors, businesses and citizens who came out and helped us celebrate National Night Out!! Our annual event continues to grow each year and we could not do it without our wonderful businesses who donate their products and our citizens who support and attend our event each year. We would also like to remind residents about the Camp Hill Borough Police Department Facebook page. We try to keep residents up to date on what is happening in the Police Department and any informational news items we feel the public should be alerted to. We would like to ask that if you have any questions or an emergency please do not post questions or comments on the Facebook page, as time may pass before someone looks at the page. If you have questions, concerns or need immediate help please call either 911 or our office phone (717) 737-1570. Also please be aware of school starting later this month. We urge citizens to watch for bicycles and children in school zones and to please be considerate of the crossing guards. They have a very important job to keep our children safe!!
