Thornbury Parks

In the fall of 2007, Thornbury Township held our first Annual Children’s Fishing Derby at Martin Park. We thought this would be a great opportunity for residents to enjoy one of our lesser known parks. Every October the Township stocks a portion of Chester Creek in Martin Park for the derby. We stock a variety of 500 trout including Rainbows, Brownies, and Brookies. While the weather can sometimes be a bit chilly, the fishing is always hot. Prizes are awarded to the kids who catch the biggest fish. (You must be a resident to win).

Last year’s top winner was Jake DeMarco with a trout that measured 21 inches. Residents Ryan and Lauren Czymek have caught prize winning fish several years in a row. Bait is provided as well as lessons for those in need. You don’t have to be a reel expert. Please join us and see if you can tackle it and remember; good things come to those who bait.

LEAF AND YARD DEBRIS PICK-UP WEEK

Pick-Ups Scheduled forNovember 16, November 17,November 18, and November 19

Thought we’d leaf you alone about your

yard waste? Not a chance. You can opt to

have the Township pick up your bagged

yard waste or you can reuse the leaves in

your yard for compost or organic mulch.

Leaf collection week

is November 16–19.

Decomposable bags are

available at the Township

building for $2.00 each. That

price covers the bags and the pick-up. Just

come in, buy your bags and register your

address for pick up and “leaf” your bagged

yard waste on the street.

Another option is to re-use your yard

waste, for example: composting. Choose

an area in your yard to enclose your leaves,

grass clippings and small branches. Oak

leaves are perfect for compost. Leaves

are also perfect for organic mulch. Cover

your garden beds with the fallen leaves.

The thick moist leaves will prevent weeds

growing until it is time to plant the beds in

the spring. They will decompose into the

soil, so no need to remove them! Just till

the leaves and let the nutrients sink into

the soil.

Township Manager Letter

Hello fellow residents. On Tuesday, June 23, 2015 Thornbury Township experienced a significant thunderstorm that left many of our roads unpassable due to downed trees and electrical wires. In the aftermath of that storm, we made attempts to advise residents of the roads that were not passable through social media and e-mail blasts. Since our phone lines were compromised it made those communications difficult in the hours immediately following the storm. In preparation for future emergencies, we would encourage residents who are not on our e-mail list to sign up, check the township website, www.thornbury.org, and consider “friending” the Thornbury Township Facebook page.

One issue that became clear after the storm was the confusion regarding who is responsible for trees and bushes along road edges. Some people contacted the Township to find out when we would be clearing the trees and branches from

their property. Please note that there are two types of roads within the Township; State Roads, and Township roads. Generally speaking, those roads with yellow lines down the middle are State roads, and those without are Township roads. Neither the state nor the Township is responsible for the maintenance or removal of the trees located within the road right of way. While we both take responsibility for clearing our roads to make them passable, we do not take the responsibility of removing trees and branches from resident’s properties.

Jeff Seagraves, township manager

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

What a great summer! Starting off our season with Founder’s Day was spectacular. The Sensational Soul Cruiser and Fireworks made the evening absolutely entertaining! Hopefully, you enjoyed some of our summer programming. The tennis clinics have really taken off this year. Residents Cindy Slachta and Tom Haviland have inspired many tennis ‘pros’ in the Township. For the first time ever, in cooperation with the Park and Recreation board, we sponsored Free Yoga in the park for the residents. It was wonderful to see so many residents enjoying these programs. Please let us know if you have any ideas for programs next summer. We welcome your opinions and ideas.

The Park and Recreation Board and our Public Works Department, once again out did themselves with an outstanding July 4th parade (held on the 5th) and celebration. From the children walking, riding a bike, sitting on some creative floats, and even being carried by their parents, fun was had by all! The Western Delaware Valley Lions Club was busy cooking and serving over 800 hot dogs to the festive crowd. Believe it or not we have served more hot dogs in the past. Gift certificates were awarded for the top floats on the parade route, thanks to all of our local businesses who participated. Thanks to the Board, staff, and the Lions for all of their hard work year after year.

It was bittersweet to say good bye to Nikki Avella. Nikki, a Rustin Graduate served as

our Junior Supervisor this past spring. Nikki was an incredible addition to our board and we will miss her reports from Rustin High School. We look forward to introducing our 2016 Junior Supervisor to the Township in January. In closing, have a great fall and we will see you around town! Jim Raith, Chairman board of supervisors

Fall, as with any change in season, is a good time to inspect your on-lot septic system. These systems need to be monitored because when they fail, they can cause an environmental hazard. When inspecting your system, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection suggests looking for the following signs of trouble: Toilets running sluggishly; Sewer odors in the house and/or drinking water; sponginess around the septic tank, dosing tank and absorption area; surfacing raw sewage; dosing pump running constantly or not running at all; dosing tank alarm light is on; and backup of sewage into the homes laundry tubs or other fixtures.

PA DEP also offers some preventative measures that everyone with an on-lot system should be doing: Conserving water and reducing waste-flow into the tank; having tank pumped at least every 3-5 years for small households and every 1-2 years for larger households; avoid putting chemicals into the septic system; inspecting the septic tank, pipes and

drainage field quarterly and maintain accurate records of the system; keeping heavy vehicles and equipment away from the septic system; and not planting trees and shrubs over or close to the septic system. And remember—your toilet is not a trash can.

Residents should also note that sewer districts WSSD-2 and WSSD-3 are complete and ready for additional homeowners to tie-in. If you haven’t done the hook up or you are unsure, you may want to ask those that have tied-in what their experience was like or stop in to an upcoming sewer committee meeting and find out what to expect. Successful hook-ups have taken place on Britton Lake Road, David Drive, Denise Drive, Dilworthtown Road, Elaine Drive, Fox Lair Lane, Glen Mills Road, Judith Lane, Lake Drive, Longview Drive, Stoneridge Road, Woodridge Road, and Highpoint Drive. Check with the Township as only portions of Dilworthtown and Glen Mills Roads have access to the sewer system.

Our Commission is tasked with helping to preserve the historical heritage of this Township. We do that by educating our residents about our past to help preserve that past for all of our futures. Once something is gone, it’s gone. Pictures of what was are not the same as what still is. Some of our buildings are over 300 years old. The future of the above mentioned preservation lies in the hands of our children. History, if taught well, can be addictive and fun. Recognizing this fact, the past few years have seen an increasing number of history books written for children to learn in a more entertaining and thoughtful way. To reinforce this fact, we have provided two websites for you to visit. The first site will show you three books written by Rush Limbaugh. No politics are in these books and the author was the winner of the 2014 Children’s Choice Book Award for author of the year (www.rushrevere.com/adventureseriesbooks/index.html). The second site is a series of biographies for kids from Penguin Books (www.whowasbookseries.com/who-was/). The Rush Revere series is three books and the the biographies for kids are over 80 books.

The Oral History program will now include a history of the Township Quilt, (explained in the Spring 2015 Newsletter). The second phase of the Frazer Ruins Stabilization project, has been completed. Lastly, Ben Franklin’s summer home on Stoney Bank Road is still standing and well preserved.

Frazer Ruins Stabilization Project

Large Tree and Right of WayPruning and Maintenance

If you have a large tree (or trees) on your property on the street line, you are responsible for the maintenance and pruning of that tree (or trees). In June we suffered a lot of damage from the storm and believe it or not, winter is coming soon. Heavy snow weighs

down the tree limbs that hang into the streets. That impedes, snow plowing and removal, sight lines and traffic. This is a safety hazard. Please take the time this fall to get out there and cut back your trees. You will probably prune with a great deal more TLC then we will. Please note that property owners are responsible for the maintenance of vegetation that exists within the Public “Right of Way.” This maintenance is critical to ensuring the safety of our community. During heavy snowfalls, some roads become

problematic because of obstructions created by “un-groomed vegetation.” Please remove any branches or plantings that contribute to this hazard. If you are unsure or need assistance in determining the need for maintenance on your property contact the Township Road Master, Lindsey Price, at 610.399.8383 x106.
