The Township was divided into “boxes,” serviced by Warminster Ambulance (approximately 60% of Warwick Township), Warrington Ambulance (approximately 30% of Warwick Township), Central Bucks Ambulance (approximately 5% of Warwick Township), and Tri-Hampton Rescue (approximately 5% of Warwick Township). An attempt was made over a decade ago by Warminster Ambulance to stage an ambulance in Warwick. No adjustments were made to dispatch protocols, and this attempt failed. Recent years have seen a significant increase in demand for service from those entities providing EMS to Warwick Township. Call volumes are trending upward, and have increased about 15% since 2010. To put some perspective on these numbers, in 2014, EMS responded into Warwick just under twice a day. These calls vary, from the life threatening emergencies presented by cardiac arrests, to basic life support responses for lift assists. A “false alarm” in EMS is rare. The ambulance may not always transport a patient to the hospital, but it is unusual for there to be no patient on an EMS call. Also note that EMS calls sometimes are received simultaneously. Just under 10% of the time, a second ambulance call is received in Warwick before the ambulance finishes at the first call. This results in a mutual aid response, from an ambulance further away. Furthermore, that number does not reflect the number of times that the 1st due ambulance is on a call outside of Warwick (primarily Warminster and Warrington).

Played with a paddle and hard plastic ball, it provides hours of fun for active adults, frequently replacing other activities as their primary recreation. Warwick Township Pickleball began in spring 2013 and grew from 2 to 247 members playing. The Township has six dedicated pickleball courts ready for use. To see what we’re about visit us at www.meetup.com/warwicktownship-pickleball. Interested potential players, both new and experienced will find that we have a lot to offer. The group now features four levels of play from social to advanced. All groups have a minimum opportunity of 3 to 4 meetups per week. Since 2013 we have had over 800 meetup sessions and average well over 200 player experiences per week in season. New players are required to register for social and beginner player sessions (listed on the meetup website). All players must be registered on both the meetup site listed above and at www.warwickrec.com. All funds collected go toward the program costs as the organizers and event hosts are 100% volunteers. Experienced players can request evaluation and will be assigned a group designation. Advanced players or players with USAPA ratings will be placed accordingly. Paddles will be provided for initial instruction with players. After an initial period, players provide their own paddles. Township provides balls, first aid supplies, an AED for all scheduled meetup sessions and instruction for new players. Funds collected are also used for windscreens, improvements to parking area, triggers a mutual aid response from an ambulance further away. Our mutual aid ambulances sometimes came from as far away as Hatboro and Chalfont, and occasionally even further. Warwick Township officials executed an agreement to place an ambulance on Dark Hollow Road, beginning on June 22, 2015. Placement of an ambulance in Warwick has had the following positive results: • An ambulance is significantly closer to most, if not all EMS calls in Warwick Township; • For the first time, paramedics often arrive at EMS calls BEFORE police; • An ambulance almost ALWAYS arrives sooner now, than it would have prior to June 2015; • An additional ambulance will be added to the resource pool serving Warwick Township and our entire region. The ambulances we rely on to come into Warwick from the outside are seeing increased demands and reduced availability to come to Warwick emergencies. Also, a significant increase in Warwick call volume is expected in 2016, when the Bridges at Warwick assisted living facility opens. Anecdotally, there have been several dramatic “saves” by our local paramedics. The most recent was on October 11, 2015. EMS and police were dispatched to a cardiac arrest call in Hidden Pond. The ambulance was at the house with the victim in approximately 2 minutes. Police officers were even closer, and were already performing CPR when the medics arrived. The medics took over treatment, and applied a defibrillator. By the time medics got the patient to the hospital, he was awake and talking. Earlier in October, EMS and police were dispatched to a call for cardiac symptoms in Heritage Creek. Medics determined that the patient was indeed experiencing a heart attack, but noticed the patient’s spouse was also in distress. It turned out both husband and wife were suffering simultaneous heart attacks. Both were transported to Doylestown Hospital and are expected to recover. During an otherwise uneventful mid-October morning, EMS in the Warminster-Warwick-Warrington-Southampton area got inundated with calls. Within an hour, ambulances were dispatched to crashes at Bristol/Valley (2 ambulances, one each from Warminster and Warrington), Almshouse/Watson (Tri-Hampton), York/Ivyland (Warminster), and a cardiac arrest at Southampton Estates (Warminster Ambulance into Upper Southampton). The EMS system was stressed to the point that tow trucks arrived at the Almshouse/Watson crash before the ambulance. These brief periods of furious activity are happening more often, typically at least once a month. The presence of the Warwick/Warminster ambulance works to reduce the frequency and severity of these instances, and significantly improves life-saving service to our residents and the community. walking path to access courts, and all related items. Outdoor Pickleball season runs from mid April through the end of October (weather permitting).

Box 2551 • Warminster, PA 18974 • Removal • Pruning • Stump Grinding • Fully Insured The Village Improvement Association of Doylestown (VIA) is delighted to announce that the 41st Bucks County Designer House & Gardens will be located for the first time in Warwick Township. The community can “experience the transformation” of a quintessential 19th century farmhouse on nine acres at Foxwood Manor, 1596 Turkey Trot Road, Jamison PA. More than 30 professional designers and landscapers will be enhancing this home and restoring its beauty. The women of the VIA and its Bucks County Designer House & Gardens committee will host this fundraising event from May 1 - 29. Proceeds from the event benefit Doylestown Hospital and the organization’s mission to enhance the quality of life in the community through service and education. The VIA greatly appreciates the support of Warwick Township and its residents for this worthwhile event and takes its role seriously as temporary residents of this wonderful community. The VIA will do its utmost to be a considerate, good neighbor during this short time. The first activity is the Empty House Party on February 28, 2–5 pm, when visitors can explore the house and grounds before interior and exterior designers begin to work. Design boards will be on display in the undecorated areas depicting the future room plan including style, color, furniture, fabric and accessory selections; designers will share their vision and process for bringing out the unique beauty of this home. Guests will enjoy lite fare and refreshments from several area eateries, breweries and wineries, along with music, raffles and a silent auction of distinctive gift baskets. Over the next several weeks, designers and landscapers will be hard at work bringing out the beauty of Foxwood Manor. At the elegant Preview Gala on April 29, 7–10 pm, (VIP reception 6-7 pm), guests will be the first to see the transformation revealed while enjoying gourmet hors d’oeuvres, buffet dinner, open bar and music. The 41st Bucks County Designer House & Gardens at Foxwood Manor will open to the public for House Tours May 1 – 29. Visitors should plan to spend two hours touring the house, pool area, pool house, spring house, expansive grounds and gardens. The Designer House will be a shopper’s delight with designer décor available for purchase as well as unique accessories, fashions and crafts available in the Carriage House boutiques. Visitors may also enjoy a quiet respite at the café to enjoy a lite lunch, snack or a variety of hot and cold beverages. This month long event is the largest fundraiser held by the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown, (VIA), a non-profit organization. The VIA was founded in 1895 by women who were concerned that dusty Bucks County roads caused a variety of healthrelated issues for their families. Fourteen women gathered on April 26, 1895 to form the VIA and dedicated their efforts to improving the quality of life in the Central Bucks community. What began as a grass-roots effort to address health concerns evolved and the group established the first visiting nurse service in Doylestown. In 1923, they founded Doylestown Hospital and VIA members continue to oversee the governance of this award-winning health care system. The efforts of the VIA extend beyond health services to support the local community. It offers one-time grants to community efforts; educational scholarships for outstanding high school seniors pursuing health-related careers and women seeking professional careers. Through its Welfare Fund, the VIA provides a variety of support through local agencies and social services for those in the community with emergency needs. The VIA is excited to share a vision for the future: Doylestown Hospital is meeting the growing demand and interest in cardio-thoracic and vascular services by embarking on a transformative renovation and expansion of the heart center within the Richard A. Reif Heart Institute. These renovations will be designed to broaden services and enhance patient safety and privacy. They encompass expanded patient areas, additional clinical space including state-of-the-art technologies and a new technologically-advanced Endovascular Surgery Suite. To help the Heart-Institute-of-the-future become a reality, a portion of proceeds from the 2016 Designer House will be earmarked to support this effort. Early investors serve as a driving force to kick off this critical initiative at Doylestown Hospital.

These households are required to have their on-lot sewage system pumped by December 31, 2016. They must file a visual inspection form that is to be filled out by their waste hauler. We also need a copy of the receipt from their hauler. Warwick Township is requesting that anyone who is part of phase 2, return their completed forms to us as soon as possible. If you have lost or misplaced your form, you can obtain a copy by going to our website at warwick-bucks.org (permits and forms) or you can pick them up at the Township administration building. In 2011, Warwick Township adopted the on-lot sewage maintenance ordinance to ensure basic maintenance of on-lot septic systems in the Township. Septic tanks must be pumped at intervals not to exceed three years. You only need to register for the program one time but you will be notified every three years in reference to pumping your tank. Pumping your tank regularly will greatly reduce the chance of accumulated solids escaping the tank and clogging other components, especially the drainfield, which is the most critical component of most septic systems. In addition, pumping the tank wregularly will prolong the life of any on-lot system.

The adult beetles nibble on ash foliage but cause little damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. Emerald ash borer probably arrived in the United States on solid wood packing material carried in cargo ships or airplanes originating in its native Asia. Emerald ash borer feeds exclusively on ash trees in North America. Tens of millions of ash trees have been lost to this pest, which usually kills ash trees within 3-4 years of infestation.

The adult beetles nibble on ash foliage but cause little damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. Emerald ash borer probably arrived in the United States on solid wood packing material carried in cargo ships or airplanes originating in its native Asia. Emerald ash borer feeds exclusively on ash trees in North America. Tens of millions of ash trees have been lost to this pest, which usually kills ash trees within 3-4 years of infestation.

These households are required to have their on-lot sewage system pumped by December 31, 2016. They must file a visual inspection form that is to be filled out by their waste hauler. We also need a copy of the receipt from their hauler. Warwick Township is requesting that anyone who is part of phase 2, return their completed forms to us as soon as possible. If you have lost or misplaced your form, you can obtain a copy by going to our website at warwick-bucks.org (permits and forms) or you can pick them up at the Township administration building. In 2011, Warwick Township adopted the on-lot sewage maintenance ordinance to ensure basic maintenance of on-lot septic systems in the Township. Septic tanks must be pumped at intervals not to exceed three years. You only need to register for the program one time but you will be notified every three years in reference to pumping your tank. Pumping your tank regularly will greatly reduce the chance of accumulated solids escaping the tank and clogging other components, especially the drainfield, which is the most critical component of most septic systems. In addition, pumping the tank wregularly will prolong the life of any on-lot system.

Box 2551 • Warminster, PA 18974 • Removal • Pruning • Stump Grinding • Fully Insured The Village Improvement Association of Doylestown (VIA) is delighted to announce that the 41st Bucks County Designer House & Gardens will be located for the first time in Warwick Township. The community can “experience the transformation” of a quintessential 19th century farmhouse on nine acres at Foxwood Manor, 1596 Turkey Trot Road, Jamison PA. More than 30 professional designers and landscapers will be enhancing this home and restoring its beauty. The women of the VIA and its Bucks County Designer House & Gardens committee will host this fundraising event from May 1 - 29. Proceeds from the event benefit Doylestown Hospital and the organization’s mission to enhance the quality of life in the community through service and education. The VIA greatly appreciates the support of Warwick Township and its residents for this worthwhile event and takes its role seriously as temporary residents of this wonderful community. The VIA will do its utmost to be a considerate, good neighbor during this short time. The first activity is the Empty House Party on February 28, 2–5 pm, when visitors can explore the house and grounds before interior and exterior designers begin to work. Design boards will be on display in the undecorated areas depicting the future room plan including style, color, furniture, fabric and accessory selections; designers will share their vision and process for bringing out the unique beauty of this home. Guests will enjoy lite fare and refreshments from several area eateries, breweries and wineries, along with music, raffles and a silent auction of distinctive gift baskets. Over the next several weeks, designers and landscapers will be hard at work bringing out the beauty of Foxwood Manor. At the elegant Preview Gala on April 29, 7–10 pm, (VIP reception 6-7 pm), guests will be the first to see the transformation revealed while enjoying gourmet hors d’oeuvres, buffet dinner, open bar and music. The 41st Bucks County Designer House & Gardens at Foxwood Manor will open to the public for House Tours May 1 – 29. Visitors should plan to spend two hours touring the house, pool area, pool house, spring house, expansive grounds and gardens. The Designer House will be a shopper’s delight with designer décor available for purchase as well as unique accessories, fashions and crafts available in the Carriage House boutiques. Visitors may also enjoy a quiet respite at the café to enjoy a lite lunch, snack or a variety of hot and cold beverages. This month long event is the largest fundraiser held by the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown, (VIA), a non-profit organization. The VIA was founded in 1895 by women who were concerned that dusty Bucks County roads caused a variety of healthrelated issues for their families. Fourteen women gathered on April 26, 1895 to form the VIA and dedicated their efforts to improving the quality of life in the Central Bucks community. What began as a grass-roots effort to address health concerns evolved and the group established the first visiting nurse service in Doylestown. In 1923, they founded Doylestown Hospital and VIA members continue to oversee the governance of this award-winning health care system. The efforts of the VIA extend beyond health services to support the local community. It offers one-time grants to community efforts; educational scholarships for outstanding high school seniors pursuing health-related careers and women seeking professional careers. Through its Welfare Fund, the VIA provides a variety of support through local agencies and social services for those in the community with emergency needs. The VIA is excited to share a vision for the future: Doylestown Hospital is meeting the growing demand and interest in cardio-thoracic and vascular services by embarking on a transformative renovation and expansion of the heart center within the Richard A. Reif Heart Institute. These renovations will be designed to broaden services and enhance patient safety and privacy. They encompass expanded patient areas, additional clinical space including state-of-the-art technologies and a new technologically-advanced Endovascular Surgery Suite. To help the Heart-Institute-of-the-future become a reality, a portion of proceeds from the 2016 Designer House will be earmarked to support this effort. Early investors serve as a driving force to kick off this critical initiative at Doylestown Hospital.

Played with a paddle and hard plastic ball, it provides hours of fun for active adults, frequently replacing other activities as their primary recreation. Warwick Township Pickleball began in spring 2013 and grew from 2 to 247 members playing. The Township has six dedicated pickleball courts ready for use. To see what we’re about visit us at www.meetup.com/warwicktownship-pickleball. Interested potential players, both new and experienced will find that we have a lot to offer. The group now features four levels of play from social to advanced. All groups have a minimum opportunity of 3 to 4 meetups per week. Since 2013 we have had over 800 meetup sessions and average well over 200 player experiences per week in season. New players are required to register for social and beginner player sessions (listed on the meetup website). All players must be registered on both the meetup site listed above and at www.warwickrec.com. All funds collected go toward the program costs as the organizers and event hosts are 100% volunteers. Experienced players can request evaluation and will be assigned a group designation. Advanced players or players with USAPA ratings will be placed accordingly. Paddles will be provided for initial instruction with players. After an initial period, players provide their own paddles. Township provides balls, first aid supplies, an AED for all scheduled meetup sessions and instruction for new players. Funds collected are also used for windscreens, improvements to parking area, triggers a mutual aid response from an ambulance further away. Our mutual aid ambulances sometimes came from as far away as Hatboro and Chalfont, and occasionally even further. Warwick Township officials executed an agreement to place an ambulance on Dark Hollow Road, beginning on June 22, 2015. Placement of an ambulance in Warwick has had the following positive results: • An ambulance is significantly closer to most, if not all EMS calls in Warwick Township; • For the first time, paramedics often arrive at EMS calls BEFORE police; • An ambulance almost ALWAYS arrives sooner now, than it would have prior to June 2015; • An additional ambulance will be added to the resource pool serving Warwick Township and our entire region. The ambulances we rely on to come into Warwick from the outside are seeing increased demands and reduced availability to come to Warwick emergencies. Also, a significant increase in Warwick call volume is expected in 2016, when the Bridges at Warwick assisted living facility opens. Anecdotally, there have been several dramatic “saves” by our local paramedics. The most recent was on October 11, 2015. EMS and police were dispatched to a cardiac arrest call in Hidden Pond. The ambulance was at the house with the victim in approximately 2 minutes. Police officers were even closer, and were already performing CPR when the medics arrived. The medics took over treatment, and applied a defibrillator. By the time medics got the patient to the hospital, he was awake and talking. Earlier in October, EMS and police were dispatched to a call for cardiac symptoms in Heritage Creek. Medics determined that the patient was indeed experiencing a heart attack, but noticed the patient’s spouse was also in distress. It turned out both husband and wife were suffering simultaneous heart attacks. Both were transported to Doylestown Hospital and are expected to recover. During an otherwise uneventful mid-October morning, EMS in the Warminster-Warwick-Warrington-Southampton area got inundated with calls. Within an hour, ambulances were dispatched to crashes at Bristol/Valley (2 ambulances, one each from Warminster and Warrington), Almshouse/Watson (Tri-Hampton), York/Ivyland (Warminster), and a cardiac arrest at Southampton Estates (Warminster Ambulance into Upper Southampton). The EMS system was stressed to the point that tow trucks arrived at the Almshouse/Watson crash before the ambulance. These brief periods of furious activity are happening more often, typically at least once a month. The presence of the Warwick/Warminster ambulance works to reduce the frequency and severity of these instances, and significantly improves life-saving service to our residents and the community. walking path to access courts, and all related items. Outdoor Pickleball season runs from mid April through the end of October (weather permitting).

The Township was divided into “boxes,” serviced by Warminster Ambulance (approximately 60% of Warwick Township), Warrington Ambulance (approximately 30% of Warwick Township), Central Bucks Ambulance (approximately 5% of Warwick Township), and Tri-Hampton Rescue (approximately 5% of Warwick Township). An attempt was made over a decade ago by Warminster Ambulance to stage an ambulance in Warwick. No adjustments were made to dispatch protocols, and this attempt failed. Recent years have seen a significant increase in demand for service from those entities providing EMS to Warwick Township. Call volumes are trending upward, and have increased about 15% since 2010. To put some perspective on these numbers, in 2014, EMS responded into Warwick just under twice a day. These calls vary, from the life threatening emergencies presented by cardiac arrests, to basic life support responses for lift assists. A “false alarm” in EMS is rare. The ambulance may not always transport a patient to the hospital, but it is unusual for there to be no patient on an EMS call. Also note that EMS calls sometimes are received simultaneously. Just under 10% of the time, a second ambulance call is received in Warwick before the ambulance finishes at the first call. This results in a mutual aid response, from an ambulance further away. Furthermore, that number does not reflect the number of times that the 1st due ambulance is on a call outside of Warwick (primarily Warminster and Warrington).
