Council reverses on square

By Dan Miller

Press And Journal Staff

Plans for putting a new face on the Middletown town square at Main and Union streets have been put on the back burner by borough council, at least for now.

Reversing a decision from just two weeks before, council on July 5 voted 5-0 to back out of a contract to pay consulting engineers $18,600 to come up with a design for how to make the square more attractive to motorists and the public.

At least 19,000 vehicles a day pass through the square, either on Main Street (Route 230) or north and south on Union Street (Route 441), according to traffic counts compiled by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

Council took the action despite Solicitor Adam Santucci advising members there is no guarantee

that the borough can get out of the contract with HRG that council had approved by 6-3 vote on June 21. There is also no guarantee that the borough can avoid paying the entire $18,600 to HRG, Santucci pointed out.

There was no word yet on whether HRG will allow the borough to get out of the contract. “This remains an open issue. It has not been resolved,” Santucci told the Press And Journal on Monday, July 11. HRG did not return a phone call from the Press And Journal seeking comment.

Voting to get out of the contract was Council President Ben Kapenstein and Vice President Damon Suglia, and members Anne Einhorn, Diana McGlone and Robert Reid. Members Dawn Knull, Ed Shull and Ian Reddinger were absent.

Middletown Borough Council has yet another vacant seat to fill – before council has had a chance to fill the seat that was just vacated by Robert Louer Sr. Ed Shull had only been on council representing the Third Ward since Jan. 19, when he was chosen to fill the seat vacated by Vicki Malone, who resigned in September 2015.

Offer made to fill Middletown police officer opening Middletown Borough Council on July 5 voted 5-0 to approve a conditional offer of employment to Tyler Zehring to fill a new full-time position on the Middletown Police Department.

Zehring for about a year has been a part-time officer with the department. His was the only application that the borough received for the full-time position through the Civil Service Commission.

The offer is conditioned upon Zehring passing psychological and physical exams and a drug test. The full-time position has a starting salary of about $55,000 a year.

At least for now, talk about a merger of the Middletown and A PRESS AND JOURNAL PUBLICATION Lower Swatara Township police departments remains just that as far as the local Board of Commissioners is concerned.

At the end of their workshop session last week, commissioners agreed not to go forward with the Middletown Borough’s invitation to consider a consolidation of the departments.

Commissioner Lauren LeVanWilliams, chairperson of the Public Safety Committee, told the Board that Middletown Borough Councilmen asked the Township Commissioners last April if they “would be interested in entering into a police department merge with them.”

LeVan-Williams offered the recommendation not to proceed with the merger. “A police department merger is not something that can be discussed, formulated and established within a short period of time.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: If you ask when the venue today known as Pride Festival of Central PA began, the answer depends on who you ask. That’s why history and its artifacts - all the bits and pieces left behind in shoeboxes and cabinet drawers - is so important. Affiliated with History Project of the LGBT Center of Central PA, William Burton has been sifting through the region’s LGBT archive housed at Dickinson College, Carlisle.

Against the backdrop of the event known as Stonewall, Burton pieces together the legions of individuals and organizations, some still in operation, some now history, who collectively put Pride on the region’s map. As is usually the case, no one individual or organization that creates change does so single-handedly. Some things do take a village.

B

*** y the late 1960’s, after suffering decades of suppression, discrimination, harassment, and failed activism, a new outlook began to emerge in the gay and lesbian community nationwide.

The spirit of the culture of protest and self-deter-mination that was sweeping the country influenced by the anti-war, civil rights, and women’s movements was too pervasive for young gay men and lesbians to remain unaffected.

A firestorm was about to explode, and it did on the night of June 28, 1969. On that fateful night two detectives and a handful of officers from Manhattan’s Sixth Precinct, decided to prosecute a routine raid at The Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in the heart of Greenwich Village in New York City. The Stonewall Inn was a prime target - it had been operating without a liquor license – and it was reputed to have ties with organized crime and the inn featured half naked “go-go” boys as entertainment. The patrons also tended to be young and non-white, and many were drag queens.

As the raid became more violent, a crowd began to gather on the street. As a policeman forcibly began to escort the last patron out of bar - a lesbian - the scene exploded and rioting began.

The crowds and riots continued into the next night, with over 2,000 protesters arriving to fight with police. Shouts of “Gay Power” and “Save our Sister” could be heard. The first-ever gay protest riot had been born.

Word spread quickly about the confrontation, launching the LGBT movement across the country. On the first anniversary of the riot, Gay Pride marches were held in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York, Continued on page 7

the next several weeks, until more regular hours are decided upon and announced.

In August 2015, Tattered Flag was approved by borough council and the Middletown Industrial and Commercial Development Authority to convert most of the Elks Building - 13,000 square feet, all but the space for the Elks Theatre into a combined brewery/distillery/ brew pub.

It received a $1.5 million loan from the authority. Of that, $1.1 million is money to assist in converting the Elks into the new use. Tattered Flag is using the remaining $400,000 as a mortgage to purchase its portion of the Elks Building. The authority still owns the theater.

The Air Force was Scott Colley's ticket out of Middletown.

He enlisted while still in high school in 1978, to escape a home life where Colley says that he, his brother and his mother had a very rough time.

Colley never moved back to Middletown.

But that's not to say he never looked back.

He managed to make something of his life, thanks in part to some words of wisdom from a Middletown Area High School teacher named Robert Reid.

Colley became an Air Force weapons officer who served in the Gulf War and became a college graduate.

Returning to civilian life, he became a successful entrepreneur in real estate until the market crashed in 2008-09. He also spent 20 years off and on "making a lot of money" in the car dealership business.

Today, Colley lives in Mooresville, N.C., just above Charlotte.

About a year ago, Colley and a partner decided to put their inside knowledge of the car business to work for consumers by developing a smart phone application called Car Czar Pro. Consumers, because of Colley what they don't know, are at a disadvantage when it comes to buying or leasing a vehicle, Coffey said.

"It should disrupt the car business the way Uber disrupted the taxi business," Colley predicts of Car Czar Pro.

Tattered Flag opened its tasting room on the first floor from noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday. Tattered Flag offered several of its own brews plus a food menu. Wine and cider was provided by The Vineyard at Hershey.

Saturday's opening was a trial run and Tattered Flag will announce its hours going forward on its Facebook page. The partners have said they expect Tattered Flag to be open about one day a week for

Explosive vote: Fireworks back for Labor Day After a three-year absence, fireworks are scheduled to return to Middletown for Labor Day on Sept. 3.

Borough Council on July 5 voted 5-0 to approve a contract with Zambelli Fireworks of New Castle to put on the show for $18,000.

As before, the fireworks will be set off from the Middletown boat access park area near South Union and Susquehanna streets. The borough typically has roped off an area of the practice football field along Susquehanna Street for the public to view the show.

The entire cost will be covered by the $19,786.27 that was raised from the two Mayoral Madness charity basketball games in 2015 and 2016, said Mayor James H. Curry III. Zambelli was one of two proposals that the borough received, the other coming from Pyrotecnico for $14,500. A third company that the borough reached out to did not respond, said Borough Manager Ken Klinepeter.

The contract amount was below the threshold that triggers competitive bidding requirements, so council was not legally obligated to select the lowest qualified bidder, said Solicitor

Klinepeter told the Press And Journal on Friday, July 8.

A copy of Shull's resignation letter was not immediately provided. Shull did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Shull's resignation means that since September, council has had to contend with filling four vacancies. Since Malone, Councilor Greg Wilsbach resigned in March, followed by Louer and now Shull.

Shull's resignation means that one-third of the nine-member council will have turned over since the newly elected council leadership took over in January.

Press And Journal

If you live or run a business in downtown Middletown and want to have a say about parking, you should attend borough council's next meeting on Tuesday, July 19.

Chances are good that council will take some action on recommendations included in a study of parking in the downtown that was completed in May by the Middletown Police Department.

The study agreed with business owners who have been saying that a shortage of parking in the core Reid downtown is caused

by Amtrak commuters taking up key spots for hours and days at a time because the lot at the train station on Mill Street is full.

For example, the study found that 72 percent of vehicles parked during peak times in the core downtown area were registered to owners outside of the 17057 zip code.

Among recommendations in the study are higher parking fines, placing time limits on how long a vehicle can be parked in certain spots, and allowing downtown residents to apply for parking permits.

The core downtown zone includes the north and south sides of Brown Street between South Union and Pine Street; the north and south sides of Mill Street between South Union and Poplar streets; and the west and east sides of Poplar Street between Brown and Mill streets.

The study also looked at a broader area of the downtown, but found that the concentration of non-17057 vehicles was only evident in the core zone.

Council has had the study since June 7 when it was briefly presented by Mayor James H. Curry III. However, no action has been taken. Toward the end of council's July 5 meeting, a call for action came from Councilor Robert Reid, who has been the most vocal about doing something to address the downtown parking issue.

“I don't want to see that study put on the shelf and forgotten about,” Reid said.

But before council acts it needs to hear from downtown residents and business owners - who likely have their own opinion about how long a time limit is best, and other aspects of the recommendations, said Borough Solicitor Adam Santucci.

On a related note, Councilor Diana McGlone for several months has been trying

elcome to Penn State Harrisburg. Whether you are enrolling for the first time or returning to campus for another year of study, I hope that you will find the 201617 academic year filled with opportunities for learning and personal growth. Penn State Harrisburg is a dynamic and inviting learning community with excellent faculty, dedicated staff, and high-quality academic programs that span from undergraduate degrees to doctoral studies.

This academic year marks a very special milestone for the college – our 50th anniversary. Penn State Harrisburg began in 1966 offering courses to some 18 students. Since then, our growth has been tremendous, with enrollment now approaching 5,000 students and an academic portfolio offering more than 65 programs. The dedication of a new 70,000-square-foot Student Enrichment Center, which will house key student services, will be among the first of many special events and activities planned as we celebrate throughout the academic year.

At Penn State Harrisburg, you will find many options to expand learning beyond the classroom, whether it is a study tour abroad, an internship in a regional industry, participation in student government, or involvement in community activities. There are also opportunities to bring your ideas to life and make an impact on the economic development in the region through entrepreneurship education at the college. Penn State Harrisburg offers several options to participate in sports through our membership in NCAA Division III intercollegiate athletics and through club teams and intramural activities.

We believe that our graduates are the greatest measures of our success as a college and that the strength of the college community depends on the involvement and contributions of each of its members. I encourage you to make a personal commitment to your education and to use the resources available to assist and support you.

Surrounding areas are responding to the needs of our students and the campus community, as well. By seizing every opportunity, you will surely experience all that Penn State Harrisburg, Middletown, and the region have to offer.

I wish you an enjoyable and fulfilling year.

Best Wishes,
