WELCOME POLICE CHIEF MARGESON
Camp Hill Borough would like to welcome Chief Margeson to the borough. Some of you may have met him at one of our community events or meetings over the last couple of months. He is a native of Wellsville, NY. Attended RIT and Alfred University, receiving a Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and Masters of Professional Studies in Community Services Administration, both from Alfred U. He began his law enforcement career in Alfred, NY then returned to Wellsville, where he worked as an officer and later became Chief. In 1990, he came to Carlisle where he served as Police Chief for the Carlisle PD until retiring from that position in 2016. He was serving as Chief at the Dickson City Police Department from 2017-2018,

when he was appointed Chief of the Camp Hill PD in October last year. Chief Margeson resides in Carlisle with wife Debbie. They have three grown children, Katy, Kyle and Tim and two grandchildren, Camryn and Carter Margeson. “I’m very happy to be serving with the Camp Hill PD. I’ve found department members to be a great group of professionals who are dedicated to and interested in the safety and quality of life of all who live and visit the Borough of Camp Hill. Additionally, I’ve learned other Borough staff members share the same dedication and spirit of service to community. I’m very impressed with the service philosophy demonstrated by all Borough employees I’ve had contact with in the first couple of months I’ve been in Camp Hill. I’m grateful to have received a very warm welcome and reception by many Camp Hill residents. The pride and support for community in Camp Hill is immediately noticeable and only helps make the Borough a better place. I look forward to contributing to the quality of life in the Borough of Camp Hill in my capacity as Chief of Police and look forward to meeting more Borough residents.” - Chief Stephen Margeson
PUBLIC WORKS
STREET SWEEPING
Street sweeping will began on Monday, April 1, 2018. Sweeping will take place the day AFTER your regular scheduled trash collection on the 2nd and 4th weeks of the month. Sweeping will end when curbside leaf collection begins. Staff will sweep the borough one additional time at the conclusion of fall leaf collection, weather permitting. Please avoid placing grass clippings, tree limbs or any other debris in the street. This causes damage to the sweeper and down-time for the operator resulting in an inability to maintain the schedule. Property owners are required 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 will be undergoing some major improvements during the 2019 season.

HOW DOES OUR STORMWATER SYSTEM WORK?
When it rains, much of the water does not soak into the ground. If it lands on a roof, driveway or other impervious surface, the water runs along the surface, across paved areas, along curbs and into ditches. Often it then runs into stormwater inlets which are covered with a grate. These inlets are connected by buried pipes. We have about 17 miles of pipe that help convey the stormwater. Stormwater runoff can cause public safety hazards, health risks and environmental threats. Flooding needs to be prevented. The runoff also picks up dirt, trash, oil, grease, pesticides, fertilizers, pet waste and other pollutants and carries

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Our volunteer spotlight this quarter recognizes Bob Clemm for 60 years of dedication to fire safety in the Borough of Camp Hill and throughout Central Pennsylvania. He attended Millersville State College and obtained his degree in education and later went on to obtain two Masters Degrees. He was named “Educator of the Year” in 1992 by Shippensburg University, Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa. • During his college years, Bob worked part time at the West Shore base station, which dispatched emergency calls for our area. • He became a State Certified Fire Instructor for the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy and became a very active local level instructor. He taught extensively on the West Shore and throughout Cumberland County and in that role was responsible for local fire companies adopting new methods of firefighting. • Based on his reputation and skill, Bob was frequently a guest instructor at the State Fire Academy in Lewistown. For many years in the 1980s, when the state was crippled with budget deficits, Bob devoted countless days volunteering at the Academy so that they could continue their structural burn sessions. • Bob was Assistant Fire Chief for Camp Hill Borough through most of his career. After “retiring” from active firefighting duties, he became active in the fire police operation. • Bob also maintained the fire company’s history over the years. • Bob met his wife of 52 years, Sandy, through the fire company. Sandy’s father, Robert F. McCormick was also a life member. If you would like to recognize someone, submit a short write-up to Jon Arosell at jarosell@messiah.edu.
them into our waterways. Stream banks can be eroded. Eventually the pipes connect to larger pipes and then discharge to the surface or through an outfall to a stream. Ultimately the stormwater runs to the Susquehanna River and then to the Chesapeake Bay. The State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requires the Borough to manage its stormwater as part of its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program. If the Borough does not address stormwater concerns including reducing pollutants in the next five years, DEP and EPA will likely impose fines based on the permit associated with the Borough’s stormwater discharge.
stormwater runoff but do not pay towards the stormwater system since they are exempt from taxes. The Borough chose to develop aerial imagery of all properties in the Borough from which the amount of impervious surface on each property was measured. Because we have impervious area amounts, we can determine how to distribute costs more equitably. Pennsylvania recently passed a law allowing Authorities to charge a stormwater fee. The Borough plans to use the impervious area data to determine what this fee should be for each property. This also means that properties that are not subject to taxes will contribute to the community’s stormwater needs based on the amount of impervious area on their property.
DO WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH OUR STORMWATER FACILITIES?
We do. There are stormwater needs throughout the Borough which need to be addressed in coming years. For example, much of our stormwater pipe is metal and has been in use for decades causing it to corrode and deform. Improvements in the next 5 years will cost about $9.5 million dollars. These improvements are needed to protect public health and properties and sustain our roadways.
HOW DO WE PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH THE STORMWATER FACILITIES?
Besides costs from improvement projects, there are regular operation and maintenance costs associated with the stormwater system. Currently, Borough property owners pay to maintain and improve the stormwater system through property taxes. The problem with using taxes is that a property’s assessed value does not correlate to the amount of stormwater it sends into the system. In addition, tax exempt properties often contribute significant
10
COULD WE JUST PAY FOR STORMWATER NEEDS FROM TAXES?
We could, but it isn’t equitable. For example, 74% of the taxable assessed value in the Borough is from residential parcels. But residential properties actually only have 53% of the impervious area (IA) in the Borough. If stormwater needs are paid from taxes, residential properties pay more than they should. Please come to the public meeting planned for Thursday, March 21 at 6 pm in Prosser Hall.

TOYS FOR TOTS PARADE AND HOLIDAY TREE LIGHTING THANK YOU’S
In December, Camp Hill Borough and Centric Bank joined forces to host the Toys for Tots Parade and Holiday Tree Lighting. Even though we were unable to have the parade portion of our event due to weather, we were able to have some great performances in the community room by the Camp Hill High School Band, Quaker City String Band and the Girl Scouts. We had an awesome turnout and collected a lot of toys. Thanks to all your help there were many children in Central PA that received toys.
The success of this day would not have been possible without the support of many organizations and businesses in and around the Borough of Camp Hill, especially Centric Bank. We would like to thank Petty Officer Anthony Rivera and the US Marine Corps, ABF U-Pack Moving for their contributions towards the parade as well as all businesses that collected toys. We would also like to thank Karns, Giant, Weis, Camp Hill Lion’s Club, Camp Hill Woman’s and the Junior Civic Clubs for their contributions towards the refreshments in Prosser Hall following the Tree Lighting. A special thanks to Camp Hill Marching Band, Blooms by Vickrey, Camp Hill Fire Company, Camp Hill Fire Police and Police Dept., Camp Hill VolunTEEN, Borough Council and Recreation Commission for their continued support towards community events.
HOLIDAY HOME DECORATING CONTEST
A few of us drove around the whole borough, over a period of nights and picked the top three homes decorated on December 18th. The winners were surprised when we knocked on their door that night. Prizes were donated by Blooms by Vickrey. Congratulations! 1st place: 2300 Lincoln Street • 2nd Place: 2800 Laurel Lane • 3rd Place: 3127 Beverly Road • Honor. Mention: 2201 Dickinson Ave.

It is hard to believe but The Lion Foundation just marked our 15th year. During this time, YOU—our donors—have had an impact on our classrooms, arts venues and playing fields when tax dollars fell short. Because of your support, WE have been able to do some amazing things during that time. Since 2003, we: • Gave out more than 750 grants allocating over $1.3 million to benefit the Camp Hill School District. • Built and fully funded the Pollock Performing Arts Center through the Grace Milliman Pollock Endowment. • Helped fund the Siebert Stadium renovation and established an endowment for future upgrades to the complex. • Established an endowment to support future needs of Camp Hill School District students. Our students, athletic teams, artists, clubs and community members benefit from these achievements. None of this would be possible without the hundreds of volunteers and donors who make pursuing our mission possible. Every donation to The Lion Foundation makes a difference for students and all of us who live Camp Hill. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Robin

MAKING THINGS HAPPEN EMR Training Program Underway at Camp Hill Fire House
Actors Connect Students to Shakespeare
This year The Lion Foundation funded a collaborative effort among Camp Hill High School, the Camp Hill Fire Department and Harrisburg Area Community College to provide students with hands on job training and insight into the medical and emergency services fields while earning high school credit and valuable certifications through the Pennsylvania Department of Health Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) certification program. As part of the program, students spent several mornings a week last fall gaining skills related to ambulance services in Pennsylvania. During the spring, they turn attention to fire training. This important program is also possible thanks to support from donors including Camp Hill Borough, Capital Region Insurance Agency, Inc., Jim Novinger, Kristin Novinger and Service 1st Restoration & Remodeling, LLC.
3rd Grade IPads Make Learning Fun
The Lion Foundation recently funded seven more iPads for the third grade, bringing the total for the grade to 32. With 32 iPads to share, each third grade class now has at least 6 per classroom, allowing students to benefit from technology in daily lessons from all areas of the curriculum, including guided reading, guided math, science and social studies. Thank you donors!
Thanks to a grant from The Lion Foundation, Gamut Theatre actors visited Camp Hill High School A/P English classes last fall in an effort to explore Shakespeare in more depth. For the first lesson, Mr. Clark Nicholson, Gamut Artistic Director, led students through readings of Shakespearean monologues from The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Romeo and Juliet. In the process, he showcased the importance of sounds used in the speeches as essential to making sense of their meanings. Students discussed a wide range of poetic devices (antithesis, meter, rhyme scheme, poetic form) as well. A second lesson focused on Macbeth and the textual incongruities of Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking soliloquy.
High School Gets a NEW Physics Lab
Camp Hill High School’s new physics teacher received funding from The Lion Foundation and the Craig Zerby Science Fund to inject modern physics lab equipment into his curriculum. The equipment makes it possible for students collect and analyze data that illustrates concepts such as motion, forces, energy, momentum and periodic motion. Students also have access to new track systems w/carts and friction pads, bumper and launch kits, rotary motion sensors and accessories, and force and acceleration sensors to enhance learning in this important subject area.
FEBRUARY MATCHING CHALLENGE - EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS TWICE!
During the month of February, The Lion Foundation’s Board and Emeritus Board members pledge to match all donations dollar-for-dollar. You double your donation! The Lion Foundation funds programs and activities in the Camp Hill School District THAT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. This includes award-winning schools, well-educated children, the ability to attract and retain exceptional teachers—all elements of a community that fuel high property values.

Please consider donating to The Lion Foundation by Thursday, February 28th to leverage your dollars with this generous matching challenge. Contact The Lion Foundation (717-775-5170; office@thelionfoundation.org; www.thelionfoundation.org) to make your pledge today!

Our Grants Make Things Happen… SHOW YOUR SUPPORT: Help with a local Eagle Scout Project
With support from The Lion Foundation, a local Boy Scout, Cannon Myers, is spearheading a community project that features an 80-foot flagpole with a large American flag waving at the top. It will be located between the tennis courts and the baseball stadium at Fiala Field. A paver patio and benches—split up into six sections to commemorate the five branches of the military and first responders—will surround the flagpole. Easily visible from all athletic fields at Fiala Field, the flagpole—one of the tallest in the area—will provide a place for Camp Hill sports teams to hold pregame ceremonies. The patio and benches will provide a place for rest and reflection for the entire community. To execute this project, Cannon is raising funds through the sale of custom, laser The Lion engraved pavers. Supporters can choose to Foundation place a paver in any of the six sections to honor a member of the Army, Navy, Air Emeritus Board Force, Marines, Coast Guard or First William Angino Responders. Pavers purchased in a family’s Anna Baldini or business’ name will form a walkway that Michael L. Berney connects the project with the path in the Nancy A. Besch middle of Fiala. Nancy L. Bigelow Brick sales for this project ends on H. Leslie Bishop* January 31st. Forms for ordering bricks are Carlyn Chulick available in the Camp Hill Borough office Alan Davidson or by contacting Cannon Myers directly at Carrie DeLone, M.D. cannonm1023@gmail.com.
