Township Manager LetterHello fellow residents! We are looking forward to the many events planned for the summer months.

We started the season off with our Annual Memorial Day Ceremony at Thornbury Park on Monday May 29th. Our guest speaker was Army Veteran, Mr. Ray Stankus. He delivered a moving speech that we posted on our website. I think everyone can appreciate Ray’s thoughts on Memorial Day.

We will once again run the Thornbury Township Summer Arts and Recreation Camp for children ages 5–11. We have again added some new activities to the camp. The cost of camp is $12.00 per half day for residents and $24.00 for a full day.

The Township is celebrating our 10th year of “Fourth Friday” events. For more details on all of the events please check our website at www.thornbury.org.

We are partnering with the Golf Course at Glen Mills for reduced rates for Township residents. Just call the Glen Mills Golf Course and reserve your tee time after 5:00pm on any Wednesday during the summer. In addition, the Board of Supervisors will provide tuition scholarships to the first ten residents that sign up for the Glen Mills Junior Golf Clinic. The clinic runs from July 10th–13th. For more details see page four of the newsletter or contact the golf course staff.

If golf is not your thing, perhaps you would like to join your neighbors at Thornbury Park on Mondays or Wednesdays to enjoy an hour of free Yoga from 7pm to 8pm.

Please consider joining us as we celebrate the summer of 2017. And don’t forget, we always welcome your new ideas on Township activities.

Jeff Seagraves, township manager

2017 Discount Ticket Sales Price List THANK YOU GIRL SCOUT TROOP #4734!

In April, under the leadership of Sherri Spitzer,

Girl Scout Troop #4734 worked very hard to

clean up Palmer Arboretum. They picked up

trash and piled up large limbs and sticks. They

pulled weeds and cleaned up leaves. Thank

you, ladies. We appreciate your hard work!

Keeping Thornbury Township beautiful is

important!

My fellow Supervisors and I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some information and comments.

We have been very fortunate to have Joe Kephart and Danielle Berkowitz appointed as our fifth Junior Supervisors for the township! Both Joe and Danielle have done a fantastic job with all of their participation and have relayed all student activities very well. We wish Joe and Danielle the best as they move on to College in the fall. We will be continuing with this program next year and look forward to another Rustin Student(s) from the township joining our team.

We held our 11th annual local government day on April 21st. Vice Chair, JP Kelly, Supervisor, Sheri Perkins and I invited seniors from Rustin High School to learn about their government in a program called Local Government Day. We spoke to the students about our rolls in local government and how and why we got involved in serving on the Board. This year we had a little twist and made our way over to the high school. The goal is to educate the students and encourage them to get involved, volunteer, vote and attend their municipal meetings. They had the opportunity to meet several people working in various levels of government. Our guest speakers this year included Senator Tom Killion, State Representative Chris Quinn, District Attorney Jack Whelan, Chief of C.I.D. Joe Ryan, Forensic Analyst Michael Avella, and Pennsylvania State Policeman Tim Green. They all spoke about their positions, what their tasks include and how they affect the student lives. It was a day of learning and fun.

On May 17th we had the pleasure to invite the National Champion Rustin Hockey Team to our meeting. We presented them with a proclamation outling their successful season and how proud we are of them. With the school only open now for ten years, having won five state titles and this year adding the national title to its resume is very impressive. To the players, coaches, support staff and parents: Excellent job!

If you have any interest is serving on one of our boards or commissions please contact either myself, JP, Sheri, or a member of our staff, let us know what interests you may have and when positions become available we will let you know. Our Township is fortunate to have great volunteers, not only the ones who serve on the boards and commissions, but the ones who help out at all of our events. Join our family of volunteers; it will be a rewarding experience. In closing, have a great summer, and we will see you around town!

Deadline The registration deadline is

Friday, June 30th 2017.

• Choose a sunscreen with an SPF 30 or

higher. A sunscreen with SPF 30 blocks 97

percent of the sun’s UVB rays.

• Look for the words “broad spectrum.”

This means the sunscreen protects against

both UVA rays (which cause premature skin

aging) and UVB rays (which cause sunburn).

Both types of UV rays can lead to skin

cancer.

• Look for the words “water resistant.” They

provide protection for wet or sweaty skin

for 40 or 80 minutes. All sunscreens should

be reapplied every two hours, or after

swimming or sweating.

• For sensitive skin, choose a sunscreen with

zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. People with

sensitive skin also should avoid sunscreens

that contain fragrance, oils and PABA.

It’s Summer! Don’t Forget the Sunscreen!

A Heartwarming Moment We received a call from a young lady asking for any history on The Friends Shelter for Girls (currently the three buildings of our Township complex). The young lady’s mother celebrates her 85th birthday this year, and had lived at the Shelter between 1934 and 1938, from ages five to eight. All her mother could remember from such a very young age was that she was well cared for.

Building our files of accurate histories, provided through Impact Studies and ongoing updating of our historic resource records, enable us to easily answer questions from individuals such as this young lady and her mother.

Gathering and cataloguing this information has been provided through our Board of Supervisors. Members of our Commission present ideas such as the Oral History program, the Timeline

in Thornbury Park and our Historical Property history updating, to the Board for their permissions for us to proceed with them. Without the Supervisors forward looking thinking, we would, in the case of this young lady and her mother, not have easily been able to provide answers.

The response we received after helping with this request was lovely and emotional. Not only did our answers provide closure, they also brightened someone’s day, making it all the better.

Helping to preserve and document the Township’s history is our job. That work is done through a team effort of the Supervisors, township staff, the Thornbury Historical Society, and private citizens. We all enter into this with the idea that there is no limit to what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit. A heartwarming end result, such as this one is the part we care about.

SEWER COMMITTEEINFORMATION

The change in season is always a great time

to perform maintenance and inspections

of your sewer and septic systems. Summer

is no exception. Septic and grinder pump

systems need to be monitored to ensure

that they work properly throughout their

service lives. When these systems are

properly maintained and operated, they

effectively reduce or eliminate most human

health or environmental threats posed

by pollutants in household wastewater.

Avoid allowing strong chemicals, oils,

diapers, plastics etc. from entering your

onsite and pump systems. Before an issue

arises due to harsh temperatures, it may

be best to contact your service providers

about any recommended preventative

maintenance or back-up devices that may

be available. For those with E/One grinder

pumps, we suggest checking out www.

eone.com for monitoring and maintenance

information or calling an authorized

service representative. Site Specific Design

is listed as the service provider for Eastern

Pennsylvania. Their number is (800)295-

8853. Hopefully we won’t experience any

power outages but; if we do, please be

sure to limit your water usage as much as

possible if you are on grinder pump system.

The tank does have storage capacity but

it is only adequate for the short term.

If you haven’t taken advantage of the

infrastructure already in place in the sewer

districts, it may be a good time to revisit

this decision. The Sewer Committee is an

advisory committee that wants to serve

the needs of the residents of Thornbury

Township. We invite residents to attend our

meetings if they are interested in public

sewer for their homes or if they have any

sewer or onsite system inquiries.

Stormwater pollutants find their way into

where we fish, where we swim and what we

drink. Everything that goes into our storm

drains (grass clippings, soap from washing

your car or pet, pesticides and pet waste)

makes its way straight to our streams.

Stormwater pollution is our biggest source of

water pollution. It all adds up!

Do Your Part to Promote Clean Streams and Safe Drinking Water:

• Pick up and properly dispose of pet waste.

• Use a commercial car wash.

• Pick up litter and compost yard waste.

• Maintain your vehicle so it does not leak oil.

RUSTIN HIGH SCHOOLDear Class of 2017As you approach graduation day, give these things

some thought: The help, advice, rides, volunteer

hours that your parents gave and the sacrifices they made. Think

of the teacher(s) who took the extra time to make sure YOU got it

and were successful in their class. Remember the friendships you’ve

made. Contemplate the life lessons, the mistakes, all of the good and

bad experiences you had. Think of all of this and be thankful. They’ve

shaped who you are today. Congratulations and best wishes!

Sincerely, Dr. Marano
