JANUARY/MARCH 2016
Pumpkin Fests Reaches 39,000
The Pennsboro Pumpkin Fest Committee and East Pennsboro Township Recreation Department would like to thank the community for their
support during the 16th Annual Pennsboro Pumpkin Fest. The estimated
attendance was 39,054 visitors this year! There were pies turned in for the
annual Pumpkin Pie Baking Contest. First place winner is Marie Miller,
second was Susannah Foos and third place was Vincent Duong. Thanks
go out to the community members and businesses that supported this
event during Columbus Day weekend.
The Committee hopes you’ll consider joining the Pumpkin Fest Committee and participate actively in meetings. Bringing your skills and new
ideas will make the event better and keep it family friendly and free. One
thing they would like to do in 2016 is to form committees to handle important tasks. Some of the committees we need for 2016 are Parking, Entertainment, Advertising, Volunteer Recruitment, Planning and working the
days of the event. It’s a chance to make a difference in the community.
2016 Budget Approved
The Commissioners adopted a balanced General Fund Budget of $9.1
million on Dec. 16. They approved the budget which includes a reduction
in the general fund millage rate from 1.05 mills to .83 mills and the establishment of a new .47 mill fire services tax. The total combined municipal
millage will total 1.3 mills or a net increase for residents of .25 mills.
The budget may be viewed on the township website at www.eastpennsboro.net. On Nov. 3 the community re-elected John Kuntzelman
and George Tyson to the five person Township Board of Commissioners.

No Grease Down the Drain!
PennDOT’s “FindMyRidePA” Helps
Grease is a byproduct of cooking. It comes from meat, lard, oil, Veterans & People with Disabilities with
shortening, butter, margarine, food scraps, baking goods, sauces and their Transportation Needs
dairy products. When grease washes down the sink, it sticks to the
insides of the pipes that connect your home or business to the city’s
sewer. It also coats the insides of the city’s sewer pipes. Eventually, the
grease can build up until it completely blocks sewer pipes. That can
create difficult and expensive maintenance problems for both the city
and private property owners. Blocked sewer pipes can cause raw sewage to back up into your home or business, or overflow into streets
and streams. Garbage disposals don’t keep grease out of sewer pipes.
Products that claim to dissolve grease may dislodge a blockage, but
will only cause problems farther on down the line when the grease
hardens again.
How You Can Help
At Home
• Don’t pour grease down sink drains or toilets.
• Scrape grease and food scraps into the trash.
• Or, pour grease into steel cans, let it harden and throw in the trash.
• Catch food scraps and other solids with a strainer in the sink drain,
and empty the strainer into the trash.
• Stop using your garbage disposal if possible, or try to minimize its
use.
Restaurant and Building Owners
• Recycle grease and oil.
• Don’t pour grease or oil into sinks, floor drains, or onto a parking lot
or street.
• Use a grease trap or interceptor that is designed, installed, and
maintained correctly.
• Never put solids into grease traps or interceptors.
• Check and maintain grease traps and interceptors regularly.
• Stop using your garbage disposal if possible, or try to minimize its
use.
Now it’s easier and more affordable than ever to get where you need to
go on your schedule.
That’s because the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is expanding its FindMyRidePA service to new areas, including Cumberland
County, so eligible residents can more easily access convenient and low-cost
shared ride transportation.
Use FindMyRidePA.com to learn about your fixed and shared ride
transportation options, including some that pick you up at home and drop
you off at your destination as simply and affordably as possible.
FindMyRidePA is a great resource for senior citizens, veterans, persons
with disabilities, and those with transportation needs. Our residents deserve
safe, reliable and convenient transportation to lead productive, healthier
and more satisfying lives.
If you are already a Shared Ride user:
• Go to FindMyRidePA.com on your computer, tablet or smartphone.
• Then sign in using your Shared Ride ID, county of residence and date of
birth.
• Enter the date, time, location and purpose of your trip.
• Choose the option you want – and your trip is booked.
It’s that simple.
You can also use FindMyRidePA to see your planned trips, email the
plan to yourself or someone else, or cancel your reservation.
If you are not a Shared Ride user and want more information about the
program call 1-844-PA4-RIDE.
About FindMyRidePA
FindMyRidePA is sponsored by a partnership between PennDOT and
rabbittransit with support from the U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S.
State Department of Veterans Affairs and the Pennsylvania Department of
Military and Veterans Affairs. Discounted Shared Ride services are sponsored by the Commonwealth and are paid for by the Pennsylvania Lottery
and other funding sources.

through Get Outdoors PA. Established in 2004 and grown over the last decade, the Get Outdoors PA program has offered thousands of recreation programs in Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests. In 2012, more than 68,000 people participated in programs like Backpacking, Biking,
Birding, Camping, Cross-country skiing, Fishing, Hiking, Paddling, Wilderness Survival and more. If you have a outdoor skill and would like to
offer a program we are looking for instructors to further our mission to provide outdoor programming at our parks!
In 2012, DCNR teamed up with the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society (PRPS), Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC)
and the Pennsylvania Land Trust Association (PALTA) to expand the Get Outdoors PA program to include local and regional parks and recreation departments and land trusts in an effort to deliver outdoor recreation opportunities to Pennsylvania citizens and visitors all across the
state. In early 2014, the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) and Pennsylvania Department of Health (PDOH) joined as Flagship Partners. Finally at the end of 2014 the PA Parks and Forests Foundation (PPFF) became the newest Flagship Partner. These partners will join with outfitters and providers to offer high quality, outdoor recreation programs in communities in addition to
already expansive programming in state parks and forests.
Get Outdoors Pennsylvania Mission: Get Outdoors PA strives to connect citizens with outdoor recreation activities to increase their appreciation and active use of parks, forests
and public spaces while imparting a message of environmental stewardship and healthy living. GOPA Goals:
• Connect people with the outdoors through Pennsylvania’s public lands; • Inspire environmental conservation, stewardship and healthy living;
• Encourage physical activity through outdoor recreation;
• Deliver quality outdoor recreation opportunities to the public through best practice models;
• Increase the number of quality outdoor recreation programs in Pennsylvania;
• Develop public-private partnerships encouraging economic growth in a sustainable way;

Snow Removal Policy
The Township has announced its snow removal policy for the upcoming winter months:
TOWNSHIP ROADS
The Highway Department will begin plowing the most heavily traveled roads first. Salting and cindering will be performed as needed. After the initial plowing, the plow will return to widen the path to provide
an area to plow additional snow if another storm occurs before a melting period.
Residents are asked to park their cars in their driveway, if at all
possible. It is almost impossible for equipment operators to keep
snow from being plowed in front of a driveway. This is not done deliberately. The Highway Department tries to clear all roads. Residents
are also asked to move basketball backboards off streets.
SNOW/ICE REMOVAL FROM SIDEWALKS
Property owners are reminded that Township regulations require
snow and ice to be cleaned from sidewalks within 24 hours after a
snowfall ends.
SNOW EMERGENCY ROUTES
Residents are required to remove parked vehicles from streets and
roads posted as snow emergency routes if a snow emergency is declared.
Snow emergency announcements will be made over local television and
radio.
FIRE HYDRANTS
Property owners are asked to clear
around fire hydrants to ensure fire
protection. Valuable time can
be lost if firefighters have to
clear snow from the hydrant
area.
“FOR EP Parks” POSTS A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
The Friends of Recreation at East Pennsboro Parks (FOR EP Parks)
had an active 2015 and looks forward to growth in the new year. The past
year, the group has obtained the organizational structure necessary and
legal status as a non-profit organization. With the structure in place, the
group undertook a group of projects to raise funds for our parks while facilitating some great recreational activities in the parks.
In May last year, FOR EP Parks took the lead with
the help of the East Pennsboro PTO in coordinating the
Panther Prowl , a grueling obstacle course and fun run
for kids from first through eighth grades. Later in May,
FOR EP Parks hosted a small bocci tournament on the
new bocci courts at Adams Ricci Park.
In August, FOR EP Parks provided face painting at the
National Night Out and sponsored the Harrisburg Area Color Vibe 5k fun
run. That event brought nearly 3000 participants to Adams Ricci park for a
festive and colorful run. In October, Friends of Recreation at East Pennsboro Parks participated in the annual Pumpkinfest weekend and operated
a pedal cart track.
Looking forward to the new year, FOR EP Parks will continue it’s efforts to host unique events and raise funds for our great township parks
and recreational opportunities. The group meets the first Monday of each
month at 6:00 PM at the township building and anyone interested in parks
and recreation is invited to attend. Please consider becoming a member.
Applications can be obtained at the township building or on Facebook at
Friends of Recreation at East Pennsboro Parks.
