Recycling Reminder
Check out the West Hanover Township Recycling brochure available on line at www.westhanover.com or pick one up in the township office to know what and how to recycle. Brochure includes
information on curbside, yard and leaf waste, WHT Compost Center, oil and antifreeze and e-cycling.
You are recycling aren’t you?
When Do I Need A Zoning Permit
from the Township?
The Township Zoning Ordinance
requires a permit for any alteration to a building or structure,
change of land use, installation
of fences, decks, patios, sheds,
swimming pools, additions to
structures or buildings etc.
Please contact the Zoning
Administrator’s office at 5406075, for further direction and
counsel on your specific project(s).
Zoning permit applications are
available
on-line
at
www.westhanover.com.
(Click on Popular Links “Forms/Applications/Permits”).
Please include a complete site
plan sketch of your property
with the application. All applications are reviewed on a first
come, first served basis.
Don’t have a recycling container? West Hanover Township does
not require residents to have an official recycling container. A recycling container can be as simple as a plastic garbage can. Basically, whatever suits your recycling needs. The point is to RECYCLE! To further help Waste Management identify your recycling
from trash containers free recycling container stickers are
available at the township office.
As many West Hanover Township residents already know beginning in January 2013 electronics like TVs, computers, printers,
radios, pagers, cell phones, etc., must not be placed with your
trash. The Covered Device Recycling Act required that all electronics be properly recycled.
Now you can recycle your electronics FREE at West Hanover Township Compost Center, 402 N. Fairville Ave. Please
call the township office at 652-4841 for times of operation.
You do not need to have a Compost sticker to recycle electronics.
You can also recycle electronics at Dauphin County Recycling Center 1620 South 19th Street, Harrisburg, PA 17104. To see what
additional items they take see WHT Recycling Brochure or call the
Dauphin County Recycling Center at 717-982-6772 .

West Hanover Township Historical Society
The Spring meeting of the West
Hanover Township Historical Society took place in the township
municipal building on April 24.
The theme of the program was
Show and Tell - Artifacts and Historic Items of West Hanover
Township. Attendees were given
the opportunity to bring items
and talk about how they related
to the township.
Harold “Skip” Smedley led off the
program talking about the society
archives, and about the preservation of some of the holdings, and
the conversion of old VCR tapes to
DVD’s and also saving videos and
other files to flash drives. Diane
Gotshall showed and talked about
historic family documents that
she has preserved from her home.
Gloria Zimmerman brought a
school composition book belonging
to a young man by the name of
Martin L. Wade. The book was
used in school in 1914 and con-
by Skip Smedley
tained interesting short essays,
some of which Gloria read to the
audience. Ed Wisehaupt brought a
framed hand written 1864 survey
of the Baumgardner School which
was presented to the society.
Barry Straw also showed several
historical documents.
Tom Felsburg and others talked about some
other properties of historical interest in the township. Refreshments
were enjoyed after the meeting.

For those who like statistics here are a
few for you. In 2013 the two vans traveled a total of 19,486 miles. An average
of 18 riders utilized the service each
month. For the year this came to a total of 1,684 trips and the volunteers
gave 3,296 hours of their time. Since
the last newsletter we had 3 people volunteer to drive so we are in good shape.
West Hanover Senior Center is now
open at the West Hanover Township
Recreation Center on the second Thursday of every month from 12 noon to 2:30
PM. There is a meal for only $4.00 and
entertainment. You must register by
calling 724-0083 at least 24 hours in
advance. If anyone needs transportation we are here to help. Just call the
van office to schedule.
Since we survive on donations to pay
our bills we will continue with the Perkins Dine-to-Donate fundraiser for the
van program. This has been very successful and definitely helps our financial situation. Mark your calendar for
the second Thursday of every month.
The van program receives 10% of all
coupon sales turned in between 4 PM
and 9 PM.
If enough coupons are
turned in we can get 15%. Coupons are
available at the township building,
Fulton Bank, Wonders Found Thrift
Shop and Mt Calvary United Methodist
Church. It does take money to keep the
program going and we are solely dependent on donations.

environmentally healthy balance between humanity
and the earth, through innovative thought, mindful
awareness and responsible action.
Since 1989, the 7-member EACs have initiated and
been major participants in numerous successful
community environmental programs, including: the
first community voluntary recycling (which rolled
over into today’s curbside recycling); oil and antifreeze collection; Christmas tree and leaf waste collection; Compost Center; scrap tire and household
hazardous waste collection; riparian buffer restoration (with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay); scenic inventory through the Scenic West Hanover photography contest; big tree inventory; recycling container project; Municipal Building gardens (as part
of runoff management); Skyline Commons Eastern
Bluebird Trail and info kiosk; tree planting (with
the Boy Scouts); Earth Day Community Litter Challenge; recycling brochure; MS4 stormwater education; recycling in township parks; an educational
display preserving a slice of 330 year old white oak;
and seminars on subjects such as forestry, native &
invasive plants, birding, composting, rain gardens,
integrated pest management, water conservation,
household hazardous waste, agricultural security
areas, recycling, photography, West Nile virus,
stormwater, rain barrels, and backyard wildlife. Our
EAC was also the first to organize a regional EAC
roundtable, bringing area EACs together to share
ideas, discuss, and seek solutions to local environmental problems.
West Hanover’s EAC was the first in Dauphin
County to produce a municipal natural resource inventory. It became part of the township’s Comprehensive Plan, and provided the basis for our environmental protection and open space ordinances. In
concert with the 2001 Comprehensive Plan update, a
Growing Greener Codes Assessment was coordinated
by the EAC with the Natural Lands Trust. The EAC
continues to be directly involved in Comprehensive
Plan updates.
In 2001 the Pennsylvania Environmental Council
and EAC Network recognized our EAC as one of the
most active in the state. As a result, West Hanover’s
was the first EAC in the state to be the focus of a
promotional video. GreenworksTV filmed the video
on location at Fairville Park.
In 2005 the EAC was presented the Pennsylvania
Environmental Council’s EAC Achievement Award
for 15 years of continuous community recycling programs.
In 2006 the EAC designed a rain garden demonstration site at Fairville Park. It was constructed with
help from the township Park and Rec Board, Public
Works Department, and many community volunteers. The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay provided
technical assistance, and funding was through a
DEP Growing Greener grant. Our EAC received a
2006 Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Community
Greening Award for the garden.
The rain garden continues to function on many levels, collecting and filtering stormwater runoff from
the parking lot, while providing habitat for birds,
butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. It is a
registered Monarch Waystation and provides park
visitors with an attractive oasis. The beauty and
function of the rain garden have been reported on in
the local news. Students at area schools have built
rain gardens based upon the Fairville Park Rain
Garden design.
EAC members work with municipal boards, committees, and community volunteers. As liaison members
of the Planning Commission, the EAC reviews development plans for environmental impact, and works
with developers and engineers. In coordination with
the Zoning Office, the EAC drafts environmental
ordinances, and advises the Board of Supervisors.

Patti Estheimer founded the EAC and has served as
its leader for the past 25 years. Her intelligence and
patience guided the council consistently throughout
this time. We owe her a huge debt of gratitude for
her vision and dedication. John Miele is also a charter EAC member, and currently serves as EAC ViceChair. He says his major role has been to provide
physical labor, but the truth is his scientific knowledge and professional experience have been an invaluable resource. Thank you Patti and John!
Carol Buskirk
I was a charter member of the EAC. I have fond
memories of my time with the EAC. We had a great
group of people on the board. We worked well together and we had a lot of fun. But we still managed to get a lot of things done. Patti is a terrific
leader. She always allowed us to have fun, but she
was very good at reining us back in and keeping
things on track. She inspired us to be creative and
encouraged us to contribute. I think the community
has benefited greatly from the work the EAC has
accomplished under her leadership. I’m proud to

Fire Company News
Page 13
by Kyle Miller
Hello from your 100% volunteer West Hanover
Township Fire Company. The first half of 2014 has
been quite busy for us. Now that we are in the
spring season and looking towards the heat of summer, please remember that each season brings potentially dangerous weather events, so please prepare and plan accordingly.
We currently have three fulltime fire fighters living
at Station No.1 as part of our Live-in program and
continue to look at ways of growing our program.
This program aids in providing a quicker response
to any call that requires the Fire Company’s assistance. This type of program is used all over the
United States to great success and we are grateful
to be in a location and have the abilities to provide
such a program. If you have any interest in learning more concerning this program, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
In April of 2014, the Fire Company in conjunction
with West Hanover Township, the Township Board
of Supervisors and partial funding from the Dauphin County Gaming Board, placed an order to replace our aging 1997 Heavy Rescue. Rescue 36-1
has been an asset to West Hanover Twp. Fire Company No.1, our residents and the surrounding areas
for over 15 years. The anticipated delivery date of
the new Pierce Rescue 36-1 is spring of 2015. The
Fire Company would like to thank all parties in-
volved in making this necessary replacement purchase a possibility.
The Fire Company is currently working on putting
together an area at Station No.1 for members to exercise and do some personal training. The members
would like to announce that if anyone has any older
exercise equipment that is not wanted, but in good
working condition, the Fire Company members
would be excited to put it to good use. If anyone
does have some exercise equipment, and would like
to donate it to the West Hanover Twp. Fire Company, please feel free to contact us at 717.652.9019
and we could make arrangements for pickup.
Thank you, to all of those who donated to the Fire
Company fund drive mailer. The drive continues to
be a success and we appreciate your contributions
as they further our capabilities for providing fire
service. We appreciate all of our supporters and we
know we could not be as successful as we are without each and every one of you. As always, please
check our website at www.westhanoverfire.com, call
or visit our Station for additional info, including
upcoming events or to fill out a membership application.
West Hanover Township Fireman of the Year by Anna K. Shope
The West Hanover Township Fire Company held an awards banquet at the Plumbers Union Building on
Saturday, March 1. Benjamin Killinger was honored with the “Fireman of the Year “ award.
Ben is the son of Steven Killinger of West Hanover Township. A lifelong resident of the township, Ben
became interested in fire and rescue work at a young age. Upon graduation from Dauphin County Vocational-Technical School, he became a volunteer fire fighter.
In addition to the Firefighter of the Year award, Ben also received an award for having achieved the most
training in the past year, a total of 1,600 hours. He is highly dedicated and passionate about his chosen
career and plans to become a professional firefighter, with a particular interest in rescue work.
Four young firefighters, including Ben, were recognized with the “Dan Mader Brotherhood Award”. This
award is given to those who give above and beyond the call of duty to help fellow firemen. These same
young men put in countless hours and hard work this past year to help put on the Haunted Hayride for
the fire company. They all deserve a thank you from the township for all they do for the community.

Seniors May Qualify for Reduced Vehicle Registration Fees
by Jay Megonnell, Vice Chairman
To qualify for the reduced fee, an individual must be retired and receiving Social Security or a Pension,
and total income from all sources annually must be less than $19,200 a year. Qualifying individuals can
register a passenger vehicle or light truck (9,000 lbs. or less) for a $10 processing fee per year instead of
the annual registration fee.
Under this plan, only one vehicle may be registered, and the person applying must be the principal driver
of the vehicle, unless a physical or mental disability exists that makes them incapable of driving.
A completed MV-371 form must be included with a regular registration renewal along with a check or
money order for $10 made payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The MV-371 form may be obtained from any authorized agent, tag service or from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. This form can also be
obtained online at www.dmv.state.pa.us.
Cold Weather Impacts on Insect Survival
by Jay Megonnell, Vice Chairman
Insects may overwinter in the egg, larvae or adult form. Many factors influence their ability to survive a
colder than normal winter. Some insects prefer to overwinter in surface residue such as leaves, mulch,
compost or other organic matter or will burrow into the soil. Insects overwintering in light surface residue or not penetrating deep enough into the soil may experience increased mortality due to freezing. Insect survival is largely dependent on temperatures in February and the amount of snowfall which acts as
an insulator for them during the winter.
The brown Marmorated Stinkbug may experience over 90% mortality when exposed to freezing and subfreezing temperatures for extended periods but a well protested overwintering site may help their survival. Colder weather may also reduce numbers of beetles. Slug infestation may be reduced but survival
may be increased by higher amounts of snow which insulates the pest from freezing temperatures.
So this summer don’t let them bug you!

Reminders from Jay Megonnell, Vice Chairman
Work Zone Safety Laws for Motorists - Always turn on your headlights when entering a work zone. Fines
are doubled for certain traffic violations. Reckless driving can be a 15 day license suspension. Slow down and
save a life.
PA Steer Clear Law - Requires motorists to use caution at the scene of an emergency, disabled vehicles or traffic stops.
Drivers must move to the left lane when responders or vehicles are on the right shoulder. If you
can’t move over, you must slow down.
PA Law requires that bike helmets be worn by children under age 12.
All residents are required to leash their dogs when they are off the owner’s property. All dogs must be vaccinated and licensed. Dog licenses may be purchased through the Dauphin County Treasurers Office.
West Hanover Citizens Helping Hands
by Patrick Toone
WHCHH is an all-volunteer group of township residents helping other less able residents with yard
work. This service is vital to our neighboring senior
citizens, physically challenged, military families and
“first responders”.
It’s been a long cold winter.
Unfortunately our
group lost a major helping hand with snow shoveling
this winter making it difficult to assist those that
asked for help. Let’s hope their involvement returns
for winter 2014/2015. If you have a plow and can
volunteer, email me. I will put a list together for
those that can afford to pay.
I also would like to thank all new members that volunteered this year. Summer is our busy time. And I
hope to see all of you at our 2014 projects.
Consider becoming an active volunteer. Any group
(scouts, church groups, etc.) that needs to work on
community projects can contact me for
suggestions and schedules.
Become a
member of a great group of men and
women donating their time to help
neighbors. Involve your kids over the age
of 16, teach them good values and the satisfaction of
helping others. Parents or guardian must be present. You can join us once for an hour or so, or on a
regular schedule. All efforts are welcome and a fun
way to enjoy living in West Hanover Township. Contact me to get on the e-mail list for projects.

*Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers left

or by contacting Program Coordinator Eric Naguski
at [email protected] or at 717-921-8100.
*Be sure clogged roof gutters are cleaned every year.
*Turn over plastic wading pools when not in use.
*Turn over wheelbarrows and don't let water stagnate in birdbaths.
*Keep rain barrels covered.
*Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish.
Water gardens can become major mosquito producers if they are allowed to stagnate. Clean and chlorinate swimming pools even when not in use. A
swimming pool left untended can produce enough
mosquitoes to result in neighborhood-wide complaints. Mosquitoes may even breed in the water
that collects on pool covers.
State DEP and county mosquito control professionals have been using Bti, (Bacillus thuringiensis
israelenis) a naturally occurring bacteria, to kill
mosquito larvae for years. The great thing about
these bacteria is that they kill only mosquito and
black fly larvae. Bti is available for you to buy and
use at home. Bti can be purchased in donut-shaped
forms, often called "mosquito dunks," which are useful in small areas of standing water, such as a birdbath or small puddle of water that may gather in a
low spot on your property. A granular form of Bti is
available, and effective for larger areas, such as
backyard ponds. Bti can be purchased at many lawn
and garden, outdoor supply and home improvement
stores. Although it is not harmful to people, pets,
aquatic life (such as fish) or plants, make sure you
follow all label instructions carefully.
Other ways to reduce your risk of being bitten by
mosquitoes are: Cover up exposed skin. Use an EPAregistered insect repellent, such as those with
DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus, and
make sure all windows and doors have screens, and
that all screens are in good repair.

Residents be reminded that sump pumps in your homes must not be used to discharge water into the township
sanitary sewer system, into public streams or onto a neighbor’s property.
Water from sump pumps that goes into the sewer causes increased flows to the waste water treatment plant
especially during heavy storms. The water is chemically treated, the same as raw sewage, resulting in an increase in the amount of chemicals used and an increase in the overall cost to the township.
