‘Run,Hide,Fight’

By William S. Jackson At its Monday, Feb. 19, meeting, Lower Dauphin School Board heard from Superintendent Robert Schultz, address-ing the Feb. 14 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. He read the following statement to the Lower Dauphin community: As educators, we take the safety of our Lower Dauphin students very seriously. We have an obligation to ensure that your students return home safely and it’s a trust we don’t take lightly. These events have shocked and saddened all of us. If your child feels upset or worried about coming to school, please remind them that our school counselors are available to talk to them. The district has several helpful links on its website to help parents and guardian to discuss these kind of tragedies with your child. They can be found at www.ldsd.org/HelpResources. As details emerge from the tragic incident in Florida, our administrative team will review our safety plans and, where necessary, refine and alter our strategies. After the

Democratic Challenge

An Indivisible AnnouncesBy Dave Buffington

A “Hershey Indivisibles” candidate has emerged to challenge Republican incumbent Tom Mehaffie for the 106th District seat in the state House of Representatives. Derry Township resident Rob Myers announced Feb. 14 that he will run for that seat as a Democrat. In his an-nouncement, Myers cited his leadership role in the “Hershey Indivisibles,” one of active “resistance” groups that have emerged since the election of President Trump. Here is the full text of Myers’ announcement:

Area resident and native Rob Myers announced today that he will seek election to the Pennsylvania House of Representa-tives. Myers will be seeking to be the first Democrat elected to represent the 106th in the District’s history. The District in-cludes Hummelstown, Middletown, Royalton, and Rutherford, and Conewago, Derry and Lower Swatara townships. Rob is a graduate of Lower Dauphin High School and worked his way through HACC and Penn State Harrisburg. He now lives in Derry Township. Over his career Rob has worked on transportation proj-ects throughout Pennsylvania as a civil and environmental

engineer and project manager. Rob has a broad range of experience working with a wide array of stakeholders to plan and manage complex projects with both significant budgets and significant bud-get constraints. In addition to his work as an engineer Rob led the non-partisan, non-profit Hershey Indivisible Team to support issues that improve economic equality protect the environ-ment, increase inclusiveness, and support local candidates who believe in equitable, democratic principles. “Every day I hear people expressing frustration with the current state of government. The Pennsylvania House of Representatives can’t pass a budget on time, let alone tackle the legislation we need to solve some of the most important economic, education, and healthcare issues facing Pennsyl-vania families. I will bring my engineering experience and our central Pennsylvania values to the State Capital to work with other problem solving oriented members of the House, the Senate, and the Wolf Administration to break the grid-lock and move us to a better Pennsylvania for everyone.” According to county records, Myers switched regis-tration to become a Democrat in January. Another Demo-cratic candidate, Jill Linta of Lower Swatara Township, has announced her candidacy on Facebook. On her campaign page, Linta says her “main focus is on advocacy, for civil rights and the protection of the environment and wildlife.”

Election Calendar Candidates for most offices are now out getting signa-tures on their nomination petitions. Again, for most offices, the last day to file nomination petitions is March 6. The big exceptions are the races for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Those races are tangled in the legal battle over Congressional redistricting, and as of this writing, candidates can begin circulating petitions on Feb. 27. However, given all the players and moving parts in-volved, that date is definitely subject to change.

Duke Street Fire

Son Seeks Funds

Coming Feb. 26

GenderID Policy

By Drew Weidman The son whose family’s North Duke Street home in Hummelstown was destroyed by a fire on Feb. 5 has launched a fundraising campaign on the website youcaring.com. The organizer, James Davis, is hoping to raise $15,000 to help his family rebuild after the fire. According to Davis, his mother, stepdad, grandmother and his younger brother were displaced as a result of the blaze, which was ruled a total loss. The fire started around 1:30 p.m. on the second floor of the home and quickly spread to the third floor and roof. Crews were on the scene for several hours battling the blaze. The Sun reached out to the Fire Marshal’s office on the cause of the blaze, but did not receive a call back before press time. Davis said the fire was electrical related. Davis said his mother and stepdad have been staying in a hotel room and his grandmother and brother have been staying with other family members. “They do not have enough money saved to get back on their feet following this horrible untimely event,” Davis said.

By Monica von Dobeneck Derry Township School Board will discuss adding “gen-der identification” to a comprehensive non-discrimination clause that is part of several school policies. The issue was raised at the board’s Feb. 12 meeting. The revamped non-discrimination wording will also make the clauses in various school policies consistent, according to board member Patricia Steiner. The wording is currently slightly different in different policies. Steiner said the policy committee suggested bringing the proposed changes to the full board for discussion. The board vot-ed unanimously to put it on the agenda for its Feb. 26 meeting. The new clause would read: “The board declares it to be the policy of the district to provide an equal opportunity for all students to achieve their maximum potential through the programs offered at the schools without discrimination on the basis of race, color, age, creed, religion, gender, sexual orien-tation, gender identification or expression, ancestry, national origin, ethnicity, marital status, pregnancy, handicap, disabil-ity or genetic information.” There are unsubstantiated rumors that the change was prompted by the coming of a transgender student to the dis-trict. However, district spokesman Dan Tredinnick told The Sun, “There’s nothing specific other than a desire by the Pol-icy Committee to put uniform language across a variety of policies that have non-discrimination verbiage in them.” Bathroom Background In 2016, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education, then under President Obama, issued “guidance” to public schools on transgender students. The guidance addressed the controversial bathroom issue, saying that schools would be obligated to “Allow students to participate in sex-segregated activities and access sex-segregated facilities consistent with their gender identity ….” However, the Trump administration rescinded that guid-ance in 2017, and this week, the U.S. Department Education confirmed that it will no longer investigate civil rights com-plaints from transgender students who are barred from school bathrooms that match their gender identity.

new rec Center‘Could Still Die’

By Robert Naeye At a sparsely attended Feb. 13 meeting, the Derry Town-ship Board of Supervisors took a significant step forward in approving the construction of a new recreation center. By a 4-0 vote, the Board instructed Royal Bank of Can-ada Capital Markets to prepare a contract that will enable the township to hedge its bets against the risk of future inter-est rate hikes. RBC Capital will try to have this document ready for the Feb. 27 board meeting. If the supervisors approve the contract, the township will be able to borrow money for a new rec center at the current low interest rate even if the loan is approved a year from now when interest rates are likely to be higher. Lou Verdelli of RBC Capital presented a detailed case for locking in an interest rate as soon as possible because the current rate is very low by historical standards. He cited the fact that the Federal Reserve Bank has raised its short-term interest rate five times in the past year-and-a-half, and is expected to raise its rate again at its next meeting on March 21. “If you’re committed to starting the project next year,” Verdelli told the board, “you should start thinking about in-terest rates, and most economists are projecting that rates will be higher a year from now.” Verdelli estimated that if the board waits a full year be-fore locking in a rate, the total cost to service the principal and interest could rise from about $41.2 million at today’s rate to $46.7 million if interest rates increase by just 1 per-cent. “Obviously, interest rates matter when you’re consider-ing borrowing the amount of money that you’re considering

right now,” Verdelli said. He emphasized that having RBC Capital prepare a con-tract does not commit the township to anything. And even if the supervisors approve the contract, they can still walk away a year from now, or delay taking out a loan, without incurring any significant costs or interest rate increases. After hearing Verdelli’s presentation, supervisors Marc Moyer, Susan Cort, Justin Engle and Rick Zmuda voted unanimously to have RBC Capital move forward and pre-pare the documents for the Feb. 27 board meeting. This would give the supervisors time to lock in a low interest rate before rates go up again. Supervisor Matt Weir did not vote on the motion be-cause he was out of town attending a memorial service.

$31.2 Million? Board chairman Moyer was asked after the meeting if the board’s 4-0 vote meant that the supervisors have tacitly decided to proceed with a new rec center to replace the exist-ing facility on Cocoa Avenue. The estimated cost would be between $26.8 million and $31.2 million based on designs shown in October 2017, and since the supervisors voted for a larger 50-meter pool in January, the $31.2 million option is looking more likely. “There is no debate that we need to take action on the rec center,” he replied. “It’s in disrepair, and that disrepair is costing the township significant amounts of money and resources. So the issue needs to be addressed.” But Moyer added that financing remains an open ques-tion. “We have not figured out how to pay for it, and that continues to be a significant concern of mine and the other members of the board. Unless we can figure out a way to pay for it, everything is on the table,” he said. Moyer said the township will have to pay a premium to lock in a low interest rate. That cost will be calculated and presented to the board in the contract. In a private conversation a few minutes later, supervi-sor Rick Zmuda added, “The rec center could still die on the vine.” He reiterated that the board’s approval is contingent upon finding an acceptable financial plan.

‘Run,Hide,Fight’

By William S. Jackson At its Monday, Feb. 19, meeting, Lower Dauphin School Board heard from Superintendent Robert Schultz, address-ing the Feb. 14 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. He read the following statement to the Lower Dauphin community: As educators, we take the safety of our Lower Dauphin students very seriously. We have an obligation to ensure that your students return home safely and it’s a trust we don’t take lightly. These events have shocked and saddened all of us. If your child feels upset or worried about coming to school, please remind them that our school counselors are available to talk to them. The district has several helpful links on its website to help parents and guardian to discuss these kind of tragedies with your child. They can be found at www.ldsd.org/HelpResources. As details emerge from the tragic incident in Florida, our administrative team will review our safety plans and, where necessary, refine and alter our strategies. After the

Democratic Challenge

An Indivisible AnnouncesBy Dave Buffington

A “Hershey Indivisibles” candidate has emerged to challenge Republican incumbent Tom Mehaffie for the 106th District seat in the state House of Representatives. Derry Township resident Rob Myers announced Feb. 14 that he will run for that seat as a Democrat. In his an-nouncement, Myers cited his leadership role in the “Hershey Indivisibles,” one of active “resistance” groups that have emerged since the election of President Trump. Here is the full text of Myers’ announcement:

Area resident and native Rob Myers announced today that he will seek election to the Pennsylvania House of Representa-tives. Myers will be seeking to be the first Democrat elected to represent the 106th in the District’s history. The District in-cludes Hummelstown, Middletown, Royalton, and Rutherford, and Conewago, Derry and Lower Swatara townships. Rob is a graduate of Lower Dauphin High School and worked his way through HACC and Penn State Harrisburg. He now lives in Derry Township. Over his career Rob has worked on transportation proj-ects throughout Pennsylvania as a civil and environmental

engineer and project manager. Rob has a broad range of experience working with a wide array of stakeholders to plan and manage complex projects with both significant budgets and significant bud-get constraints. In addition to his work as an engineer Rob led the non-partisan, non-profit Hershey Indivisible Team to support issues that improve economic equality protect the environ-ment, increase inclusiveness, and support local candidates who believe in equitable, democratic principles. “Every day I hear people expressing frustration with the current state of government. The Pennsylvania House of Representatives can’t pass a budget on time, let alone tackle the legislation we need to solve some of the most important economic, education, and healthcare issues facing Pennsyl-vania families. I will bring my engineering experience and our central Pennsylvania values to the State Capital to work with other problem solving oriented members of the House, the Senate, and the Wolf Administration to break the grid-lock and move us to a better Pennsylvania for everyone.” According to county records, Myers switched regis-tration to become a Democrat in January. Another Demo-cratic candidate, Jill Linta of Lower Swatara Township, has announced her candidacy on Facebook. On her campaign page, Linta says her “main focus is on advocacy, for civil rights and the protection of the environment and wildlife.”

Election Calendar Candidates for most offices are now out getting signa-tures on their nomination petitions. Again, for most offices, the last day to file nomination petitions is March 6. The big exceptions are the races for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Those races are tangled in the legal battle over Congressional redistricting, and as of this writing, candidates can begin circulating petitions on Feb. 27. However, given all the players and moving parts in-volved, that date is definitely subject to change.

Duke Street Fire

Son Seeks Funds

Coming Feb. 26

GenderID Policy

By Drew Weidman The son whose family’s North Duke Street home in Hummelstown was destroyed by a fire on Feb. 5 has launched a fundraising campaign on the website youcaring.com. The organizer, James Davis, is hoping to raise $15,000 to help his family rebuild after the fire. According to Davis, his mother, stepdad, grandmother and his younger brother were displaced as a result of the blaze, which was ruled a total loss. The fire started around 1:30 p.m. on the second floor of the home and quickly spread to the third floor and roof. Crews were on the scene for several hours battling the blaze. The Sun reached out to the Fire Marshal’s office on the cause of the blaze, but did not receive a call back before press time. Davis said the fire was electrical related. Davis said his mother and stepdad have been staying in a hotel room and his grandmother and brother have been staying with other family members. “They do not have enough money saved to get back on their feet following this horrible untimely event,” Davis said.

By Monica von Dobeneck Derry Township School Board will discuss adding “gen-der identification” to a comprehensive non-discrimination clause that is part of several school policies. The issue was raised at the board’s Feb. 12 meeting. The revamped non-discrimination wording will also make the clauses in various school policies consistent, according to board member Patricia Steiner. The wording is currently slightly different in different policies. Steiner said the policy committee suggested bringing the proposed changes to the full board for discussion. The board vot-ed unanimously to put it on the agenda for its Feb. 26 meeting. The new clause would read: “The board declares it to be the policy of the district to provide an equal opportunity for all students to achieve their maximum potential through the programs offered at the schools without discrimination on the basis of race, color, age, creed, religion, gender, sexual orien-tation, gender identification or expression, ancestry, national origin, ethnicity, marital status, pregnancy, handicap, disabil-ity or genetic information.” There are unsubstantiated rumors that the change was prompted by the coming of a transgender student to the dis-trict. However, district spokesman Dan Tredinnick told The Sun, “There’s nothing specific other than a desire by the Pol-icy Committee to put uniform language across a variety of policies that have non-discrimination verbiage in them.” Bathroom Background In 2016, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education, then under President Obama, issued “guidance” to public schools on transgender students. The guidance addressed the controversial bathroom issue, saying that schools would be obligated to “Allow students to participate in sex-segregated activities and access sex-segregated facilities consistent with their gender identity ….” However, the Trump administration rescinded that guid-ance in 2017, and this week, the U.S. Department Education confirmed that it will no longer investigate civil rights com-plaints from transgender students who are barred from school bathrooms that match their gender identity.

new rec Center‘Could Still Die’

By Robert Naeye At a sparsely attended Feb. 13 meeting, the Derry Town-ship Board of Supervisors took a significant step forward in approving the construction of a new recreation center. By a 4-0 vote, the Board instructed Royal Bank of Can-ada Capital Markets to prepare a contract that will enable the township to hedge its bets against the risk of future inter-est rate hikes. RBC Capital will try to have this document ready for the Feb. 27 board meeting. If the supervisors approve the contract, the township will be able to borrow money for a new rec center at the current low interest rate even if the loan is approved a year from now when interest rates are likely to be higher. Lou Verdelli of RBC Capital presented a detailed case for locking in an interest rate as soon as possible because the current rate is very low by historical standards. He cited the fact that the Federal Reserve Bank has raised its short-term interest rate five times in the past year-and-a-half, and is expected to raise its rate again at its next meeting on March 21. “If you’re committed to starting the project next year,” Verdelli told the board, “you should start thinking about in-terest rates, and most economists are projecting that rates will be higher a year from now.” Verdelli estimated that if the board waits a full year be-fore locking in a rate, the total cost to service the principal and interest could rise from about $41.2 million at today’s rate to $46.7 million if interest rates increase by just 1 per-cent. “Obviously, interest rates matter when you’re consider-ing borrowing the amount of money that you’re considering

right now,” Verdelli said. He emphasized that having RBC Capital prepare a con-tract does not commit the township to anything. And even if the supervisors approve the contract, they can still walk away a year from now, or delay taking out a loan, without incurring any significant costs or interest rate increases. After hearing Verdelli’s presentation, supervisors Marc Moyer, Susan Cort, Justin Engle and Rick Zmuda voted unanimously to have RBC Capital move forward and pre-pare the documents for the Feb. 27 board meeting. This would give the supervisors time to lock in a low interest rate before rates go up again. Supervisor Matt Weir did not vote on the motion be-cause he was out of town attending a memorial service.

$31.2 Million? Board chairman Moyer was asked after the meeting if the board’s 4-0 vote meant that the supervisors have tacitly decided to proceed with a new rec center to replace the exist-ing facility on Cocoa Avenue. The estimated cost would be between $26.8 million and $31.2 million based on designs shown in October 2017, and since the supervisors voted for a larger 50-meter pool in January, the $31.2 million option is looking more likely. “There is no debate that we need to take action on the rec center,” he replied. “It’s in disrepair, and that disrepair is costing the township significant amounts of money and resources. So the issue needs to be addressed.” But Moyer added that financing remains an open ques-tion. “We have not figured out how to pay for it, and that continues to be a significant concern of mine and the other members of the board. Unless we can figure out a way to pay for it, everything is on the table,” he said. Moyer said the township will have to pay a premium to lock in a low interest rate. That cost will be calculated and presented to the board in the contract. In a private conversation a few minutes later, supervi-sor Rick Zmuda added, “The rec center could still die on the vine.” He reiterated that the board’s approval is contingent upon finding an acceptable financial plan.
