Public Works PUBLIC WORKS
SANITARY SEWER
Do not flush swiffers, rags, baby wipes, dental floss or other similar materials into the sanitary sewer system. These items can cause clogs resulting in property damage, damage sewage pumps and increase maintenance costs. The borough is responsible for the sewer main from manhole to manhole in the rightof-way. Property owners are responsible for the lateral and the building sewer. The lateral is the pipe that extends from the sewer main in the street to the Right-of-Way. The building sewer extends from the Right-of-Way to the home. Sewer customers are reminded to keep traps filled with water. This will help reduce sewer odors from entering the home. If you experience a sewer emergency during normal business hours, 8 am to 4:30 pm please call the Borough Building at (717) 737-3456. For sewer emergencies outside normal business hours please call (717) 7373456, press extension 6 - Please provide your name, address and your phone number and give a brief explanation as to your emergency.
STREET SWEEPING The street sweeping program will begin on Monday, April 2nd and will continue through the end of October. Sweeping will take place the day AFTER your regular scheduled trash collection on the 2nd and 4th 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 downtime for the operator resulting in an inability to maintain the sweeping schedule. Property owners are also asked to keep trees along the curb-line trimmed to a minimum of 12 feet above the street so that the sweeper can work close to the curb without damage to the machine.

COMPOST FACILITY The Compost Facility is located 422 S. 24th Street. The facility will reopen on

Monday, April 2nd. The facility will be open from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM Monday, Wednesday and Friday and from 7:30 AM to 5 PM on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The facility is closed on Sundays and Holidays. The facility is for Camp Hill Borough residents only. 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 8:30am. 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 the gate is closed.
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 allow the driver to clear the roadway more 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
February.qxp_Layout 1 1/22/18 4:49 PM Page 7
Codes Enforcement before shoveling the end of your driveway. • Operators will often make multiple passes on the same street to clear the roadway. • Plow drivers cannot direct snow as it comes off of a plow. Plow blades are fixed to dump snow to the right.
UPDATE ON THE WILLOW PARK STREAM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT! The borough expects to have the necessary permitting in May. The project would be advertised in June with a bid opening/award in July and construction to begin in August/September.
REFUSE COLLECTION Beginning in April and extending through November, Penn Waste will collect your yard waste curbside. The unlimited yard waste collection will occur on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. Please place your yard waste in biodegradable paper bags, bundled using a biodegradable string or place in a container at the curb. Yard waste items include leaves, garden debris, tree limbs, bushes and plants. Items that are not accepted include grass, topsoil, sod, tree stumps, bamboo or any form of dimensioned lumber.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Starting in 2018 the Recreation Commission is bringing attention to local volunteers of our Community in each newsletter. If you know a volunteer you would like to recognize submit a short write-up about them to Jon Arosell at jarosell@messiah.edu. Our first quarterly volunteer spotlight is in recognition of Tom Collingsworth. • Tom has dedicated over a decade of his time to the Camp Hill Youth Basketball league. • He first coached girl’s recreational basketball. He continued to support the program by becoming the referee coordinator when his girls outgrew the program. • He also has had a significant role working with the Recreation Commission and Athletic Boosters for many years. 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 volunteering for upcoming events contact Audrey Logar at alogar@camphillborough.com

BOROUGH VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNER 2017
On December 13, 2017, Mike Nelson, Sr., a longtime resident of the Borough, was awarded the Camp Hill Borough’s Volunteer of the Year Award. For years he has spent his time traveling and taking photos of students during home and away sporting events. Afterwards he prints the photos and presents the parents a white envelope with a beautiful 8x10 image of their child, which he pays for out of his own pocket. He has also volunteered for multiple decades during the Camp Hill School District Outdoor Education Program, Canadensis. His time at camp has been spent teaching the children about photography. He would also take many photos of the classes and volunteers and give them to the school district for them to share. The Borough would like to congratulate Mike for receiving this award and thank him for the amount of time he has given to the Borough over the years. Nominations for the 2018 Volunteer of the Year will be accepted throughout the year until the November 2, 2018 deadline.

BIKE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Camp Hill Borough was recently named a “Bicycle Friendly Community” (BFC) by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB). This makes us one of only 8 communities in PA to be so recognized. This award is the culmination of three years of effort on the part of concerned citizens who continue working to make Camp Hill safer and more accommodating for cycling and walking. The effort has been led by Mayor Simpson, Carl Schultz, and Tim Poole, with significant involvement from Rod Bender, Matt Byers, Bob Diehl, Luisa Lassova, Marilyn Chastek, Susan Seitz and others. We have received great cooperation from Boro Council and Staff along with the Police Dept. and School District. Accomplishments of the first three years include new or better bike racks at various public facilities and starting a bike rack program for private businesses. We contributed to efforts to install mirrors on the underpasses, improve the path from Siebert Park to Parkview Road, and to improve the crossing at 21st and Walnut. We had community bike rides, organized bike commuting opportunities, bike rodeos, educational sessions, and a presence at Mayfair and Night Out. Less visible but just as important, we worked on policy, planning, and engineering issues to lay the groundwork for future improvements. In mid-2017, we conducted a community survey. It was clear that too many people feel unsafe walking or biking in the Boro due to the lack of observance of stop signs, speed limits, and crosswalks. We will continue to work with the Boro to emphasize enforcement as a critical for a BFC. Education of both youth and adults is also a key component of safety. We are hopeful that the School District will recognize the importance of bicycle and pedestrian safety education at appropriate place(s) in the school curriculum, as supported by over 80% of our survey respondents. 2018 will be the 20th anniversary of the Goddard Trail, and we will be looking to improve this route and increase use and promotion. The trail is a great community asset for both walking and biking for health, fitness, recreation, and to easily connect to virtually all public facilities in the Boro. We will

An offshoot of this effort is a group that is now looking into the possibility of a greenway/trail along the Conodoguinet Creek. Many of our activities take place in Bike Month, which is May. We could use help from people who would like to lead short, easy community bike rides, help with bike rodeos or other educational activities, and many other things. More details about Bike Month will be in the next newsletter. Or check the Boro web site, or follow us on Facebook at “Bike Camp Hill”.

LIONS CLUB
Happy New Year from the Camp Hill Lions Club! We ended the year on a high note. We installed several much needed and much appreciated new members. We can always use more. We accomplished several special projects this year. In conjunction with several other Lions Clubs, we were able to purchase special glasses for a gentleman with an unusual eye condition. He is caregiver for his wife and was having a very difficult time. He now can drive her to doctor appointments and fulfill her special needs. We packed and shipped 20 cases of cleaning products to be sent to Puerto Rico. We also provided funds for Mexico, Texas and California. Thanks to all of you, our Christmas tree project was a tremendous success and completed in record time. The trees were beautiful and if you did not visit our tree lot, perhaps you saw the tree in the Camp Hill borough office which we provide each year. Now on to our next project, the annual Pancake Jubilee. It will be held Saturday, February 24, 2018 at Trinity Lutheran Church, 2000 Chestnut Street. Camp Hill.

from a Harrisburg newspaper article February 18, 1890: “Daniel Drawbaugh, with some of his friends and neighbors, was in Harrisburg recently, giving testimony before M. Ott, the examiner, in the suit of the United States against the Bell Telephone Company. This testimony is intended to substantiate the two charges that Alexander Graham Bell has no right to the telephone patent, because it was obtained by fraud in the Patent Office, and, even if it were obtained without fraud, he has no right to it because Daniel Drawbaugh was the prior inventor. Among those whose testimony was taken was James Brooks, of Shiremanstown, Cumberland County, Pa., which is near Drawbaugh’s home. He swore that he used the telephone in Drawbaugh’s workshop between 1873 and 1874, before Bell had even announced such an invention.” Many of us know bits of the inventor of the telephone’s story, and although he spent most of his years in homes at Eberly’s Mill, it is interesting to know that according to the 1960 book Daniel Drawbaugh, The Edison of the Cumberland Valley by Warren J. Harder, the last home of Daniel and Elcetta Drawbaugh was on Cumberland Road (now South 17th Street) in Camp Hill. He purchased the house on the right in 1904 and the one on the left in 1905. Both houses were built in 1900 by George Oyster. The brown house, on the left, was doubled to its current size in 1910. His last workshop was located on the southeast corner of 19th and Market Streets.

Recreation Department
A Message From the Director... Dear Friends I hope all of you enjoyed a happy and safe holiday season with your family and friends. So far this winter has been a pretty cold one and I am sure many of you have been searching for your summer vacations spots just to think about warmer weather. So while you are doing that be sure to check out all of our summer camps information in this newsletter so it can help you in your summer vacations scheduling. All of our programs, camps and special events details can be found in here and also on our app. If you are on Facebook be sure to like Camp Hill Park And Recreation on Facebook which is another way to hear about what is going on in the Recreation Department. The Youth Basketball Program is winding down for this season. The children have been enjoying playing their games since January in Eisenhower Gym and most teams will complete their seasons on February 24th. I would like to thank all the parents and coaches for their help this season. Thanks, also, to the coordinators who helped make this season possible. A special thank you to Tom Collingsworth who coordinated the referees for several years and is stepping down at the end of this season. I would also like to thank Jay Shoen who helped with scheduling practices for this program. We are very excited to offer many camps and programs this year. Please be sure to check out the details about the camps and programs.
Many of the camps like the STEM and Science Camps were very well received and we will continue to offer them this summer. We don’t want to forget to mention that we also have a number of special events scheduled for the coming months. Details about the Bunny Eggstravaganza, Kite Festival and Camp Hill’s 99th Annual Memorial Day Parade can be found in this newsletter.

If you have any questions, concerns or ideas for new programs, please contact the recreation office by phone at 737-4548 or by email alogar@camphillborough.com.

This gratitude was recently on display through the #ThanksLionFoundation donor appreciation campaign which gave students and teachers a way express gratitude for your donations.

Dear Community Members,
MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT PATRICIA S. CRAIG
We are now more than half-way through the 2017-18 school year and preliminar y preparations for the 2018-19 school year have already begun. One of the first items on the list is the school district budget. In its most simple definition, a school district budget describes a district's plan for the upcoming year as related to anticipated revenues and expenditures. The late winter-early spring rite of crafting school budgets is not an easy process, and doing more with less has been the challenge and “mantra” for most school districts, including Camp Hill, in recent years. The budget process itself enables the important discussions that will inform choices regarding the district’s objectives and priorities with the goal of allocating resources in a manner that is fiscally responsible, fair and for ward-thinking.
As noted in the fall edition of this newsletter, the third goal in the District's Comprehensive Plan is to "Establissh a system that fully ensures the use of data to effectively ju ustify the allocation and alignment of instructional and infrastructural priorities." The first step in implementation of this goal occurred in the spring of 2017 when the District put out a request for proposals to complete a comprehensive long-range capital improvement planning process and to prepare a District Long Range Facilities Plan (LRFP). This year, and over the course of the next several years, the LRFP will be an essential resource in the budget development process as we begin to address the infrastructural priorities that have been identified. Information from the study and the presentations to the School Board can be found on our District website under the Our District channel. Another important factor in the school budget process is the Act 1 Index. Act 1 is a property tax relief bill passed by the Pennsylvania legislature in 2006 and amended in 2011 which set a cap on the amount a school district can raise property taxes without applying for exceptions or first getting voter approval. Under school code section 333(1) of the Taxpayer Relief Act the Department of Education calculates the Act 1 index based on statewide average weekly wage and employment cost index. For the 2018-2019 school budget year, the Base Act 1 Index is 2.4%. Districts with a market value/income aid ratio greater than .4000, receive an adjustment to the base index. Market Value/Income aid ratio represents the relative wealth (market value and income), in relation to the state average, for each pupil in a district. For 2018-2019 school budget year, Camp Hill School District received an adjusted index of 2.9%. Below we have provided a timeline to illustrate the budget process that will be followed in order for School Board adoption to occur prior to June 30, 2018, as required.

School Board Changes for the New Year
Aquaponics Comes to Camp Hill
The new year brings new faces and changes to the Camp Hill School District Board of School Directors:
Thanks to the Lion Foundation, each school building purchased stations that house complete aquaponics systems. Aquaponics refers to a system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. The mobile stations at each school feature a fish tank on the bottom of a cart which provides fertilizer and water to grow plants on the table above. Students are looking forward to growing a variety of plants all year including strawberries, bok choi, lettuce and kale. This is a fantastic science learning opportunity and we are excited to be able to harvest our very own plants!
Mrs. Gwen Browning, one of our fabulous Board Directors, resigned in December after serving 9 years. As a School Board Director, Gwen has been the chair of several committees and demonstrated strong leadership and dedication. Thank you Gwen for your service! You will be sorely missed. At the Board meeting on October 16th, the Board of School Directors appointed Melanie W. Gurgiolo to fill a vacancy. Welcome Melanie!
Countdown to Mini-THON
At a special meeting held on December 18th, the Board of School Directors appointed Mollie A. McCurdy to fill a vacancy. Mollie previously served as a member of the Board from 1997 through 2011. Welcome back!
Camp Hill will host its 3rd annual Mini-THON on February 24-25. This is a 12-hour, interactive event to raise awareness & funds to conquer childhood cancer. The event is the culmination of smaller events & fundraisers organized by a student leadership team. Students have been working hard to reach this year’s fundraising goal of $90,000. Some fundraisers included Gold Outs at sporting events, Mini MiniTHON’s at Hoover and Eisenhower (Feb 15), Moana Movie night, and working with PennAg at the Farm Show in exchange for a donation.
A new time and location was approved for School Board meetings. All 2018 work sessions and meetings will begin at 7:00 PM and will be held in the Green Room at the Pollock Performing Arts Center. For a list of meeting dates, please visit our website.
“Wiping out Cancer”, a luau, will be the theme for this year’s MiniTHON. We are excited to offer some favorites from previous years including: SLM Entertainment as our DJ, service dogs for our “Puppy Hour”, hair donations to make wigs, and the Middle School students join us for an hour. Some new and exciting additions include Sumo Wrestling, Volleyball, Zumba and capture the flag!

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.
