About Our Parks

In February of 2016, the Board of Supervisors introduced the Mark Kelly Volunteer of the Year Award. The award will be given annually to

an individual who exemplifies the type of commitment to Thornbury Township that personified Mark Kelly. For those of you who did not know Mark, he was a long time resident of Thornbury Township who gave of his time and energy through many volunteer efforts. Mark was a member of the Historical Commission and also dedicated a great deal of time to the activities in which his children participated. Mark drove the Board of Supervisors in the Fourth of July Parade for many years in his brother’s classic convertible. Mark was an antique car enthusiast, whose passion for life inspired all who knew him.

In order to celebrate Mark’s life and contributions to Thornbury Township, The Board of Supervisors awarded his wife, Nina and their family with the inaugural plaque. The criteria to qualify for this award are straight forward. The individual must be or have been a Township resident that displays a commitment to Thornbury Township through their volunteerism.

Nominees names must be submitted to the Township Manager by December 31st, along with a short essay on why that person should be selected as the award winner. A committee of Township Board Chairs will review the list of nominees along with the Township Manager and a member of the Board of Supervisors. The 2017 Mark Kelly Volunteer of the Year winner will be announced at the Volunteer Recognition dinner to be held in February 2017.

THORNBURY TOWNSHIPLOCAL GOVERNMENT DAY

Local

Government

Day is an event

that the Board

of Supervisors

instituted 10

years ago.

To teach

and inspire,

the board invites local dignitaries

to speak to Rustin High School

students about their service to

the community. With their new

knowledge and awareness, we hope

that the students will volunteer and/

or serve in their community. At the

request of a resident we are making

this informative assembly available

to all of our high school seniors. You

would need to arrange your own

transportation to and from your

school and be excused from class. We

will provide you with lunch and an

official letter for your teachers. Space

is limited. For more information please

call Susan Daudert 610-399-8383 x101

or email [email protected].

Township Manager LetterWhen asked as a youngster “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Did you ever answer “A Fireman?” Well, it’s not too late to bring that dream to fruition. Currently, Pennsylvania is at an all-time low of Fire fighters. In the 1970’s Pennsylvania had 300,000 volunteers, in 1985 that number dwindled to 150,000, today the state has only 50,000. This shrinking force presents a public safety crisis.

In 1736, when Ben Franklin organized the first volunteer fire fighting team in Philadelphia, he had witnessed and knew very well the dangers of fire. Those dangers still exist today. In today’s busy society we pick up a phone and make a call for any service we need, including emergency services. Volunteer Fire Fighters not only save lives but save approximately 8 billion in tax dollars across Pennsylvania.

Legislators are now working on offering incentives to increase volunteerism. A few of the options for active volunteer fire fighting men and women are offering a property tax credit, discounted tuition to community colleges or state schools, and PHEAA loan forgiveness. All of these possibilities are cost effective solutions in lieu of paying for career fire fighters.

Thornbury Township is served by three Fire Companies. These volunteers save lives and property and they are often the first one to respond in a vehicle accident. They have the awesome responsibility of being our FIRST responders. If running into a burning building is intimidating, maybe you can make a difference by volunteering for the administrative duties. Please consider calling the Fire Company closest to your home for more information and see how you can help.

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

In light of the presidential election it is important for us to be an example of unity for our neighboring towns and communities. Whether your candidate won or lost, we are all Americans. It is actually our differences that we should accept and appreciate, as that is the bedrock of America.

An integral part of America’s history is our Veterans. The Township has made a donation to the Pennsylvania Veterans Museum for their Vietnam exhibit (see above . We are excited to work with our Veterans so that all they have sacrificed for our freedom is not forgotten. Please make a point to visit the museum located in Media at 12 E. State Street, and let them know you are from Thornbury.

We look forward to working with Rustin High School again this year for our Junior Supervisor Program.

This is our fifth year and we are excited to keeping this going for many more to come. We are always up for some suggestions on working with our future leaders, please share them with us.

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 with a letter of interest and also let us know what interests you may have. Our Township has 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.

With winter around the corner, please stay safe on the roadways. We work hard making sure that the roads are clear, if you see an area of concern, please let us know In closing, have a nice winter, and we will see you around town!

Jim Raith, Chairman board of supervisors

Environmental Advisory Committee

Do You Know What MS4 Means?

along with continuing its prevention policies

to avoid the discharge of pollutants to its

storm sewers and streams. Finally, a public

outreach component involves educating

Township residents on the importance of

controlling storm water and keeping streams

clean and healthy throughout the county and

state, for example: articles in our quarterly

newsletter. New permit requirements in

2018 will call for pollution reduction projects

to clean up local stream deficiencies and

improve the general water quality of streams

throughout the State. Please do your part in

keeping pollution out of our local streams,

off our roads and out of our storm water

discharge. Thank you.

The Township has a permit for its Municipal

Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) through

the EPA Clean Water Act and PA DEP Clean

Streams Law to allow for the discharge

of storm water within the Township. This

permit sets forth the parameters for properly

operating a storm sewer system within

each individual municipality. Through set

procedures and best management practices,

Thornbury Township sets out to annually

inspect 25% of its existing storm water

outfalls, to monitor all ongoing construction

of storm water facilities and to follow up on

their future maintenance. The Township also

trains its Public Works employees to perform

roadway and storm sewer maintenance work,

Trail Work: This Spring the EAC cleared windfalls on Patterson Woods access and summit trails and the Luckenbach trail along the Chester Creek in Bonner Park. If you have never hiked the trails, look for the trail head markers on Station or Locksley Roads. Big thank you to Glen Mills students who enthusiastically helped with two trail clearings.

May Composting Seminar: This well attended, educational seminar taught Township residents how to dispose household organic material into valuable compost for gardens. Composting keeps foodstuff out of our landfills. About 14% of household waste is food waste. Each participant received a free composting bin!

Monarch Butterfly Project: To promote dwindling numbers of monarchs, the

EAC and the Farmer’s Market folks planted milkweed in key Township locations. Monarch habitat signs were posted at existing stands of milkweed to protect plants from being mows during growing season.

Fall Bird Watch: Lead by John Mercer, local bird expert, the afternoon walk included instruction in proper binocular use and tips for locating/identifying local winged residents. Bird calls were identified during the walking lecture in Thornbury Park Meadow.

Barrett Meadow: PennDot purchased Township land to construct wetlands as mitigation for disturbance from development on Conchester highway. Construction began early November and should be completed in Spring. Once wetland restoration and plantings are completed, the Township will resume ownership of Barretts Meadow.

SEWER COMMITTEETIPS

The change in season is always a great

time to perform maintenance and

inspections of your sewer and septic

systems. Winter 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. E/One suggests using

an alarm panel with a Remote Sentry

Module and generator receptacle. The

Remote Sentry Module runs on battery so

it can alert you to high tank levels when

the power is out. 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.

News from Rachel Kohl Library

Walton Lane (aka Black Bell Farm) Final Subdivision & Land Dev. Plan, 594 Cheyney Rd: The plan proposes a 15 lot residential subdivision on 23.69 acres, adjacent to Thornbury Park. Preliminary plans were recommended for approval at the March meeting. Discussion for the final plan began at the Sept. meeting. At the Sept. meeting street widening, tree buffering, and open space markers were discussed.

Daniels Subdivision, Minor Final Subdivision Plan, 425 Thornton Rd.: The plan proposes a 2-lot subdivision on a 5 acre property. Preliminary plans were recommended for approval at the July meeting. Discussion for the final plan began at the Sept. meeting. At the September meeting the members voted to recommend approval with conditions.

Crane Tract, Preliminary Plan, Major Subdivision, 105 Stoney Bank Rd.: The plan proposes to subdivide 55 acres into 29 lots (23 lots to the east of Stoney Bank Rd. and 4 lots to the west of Stoney Bank

Rd.), 27 being residential with 2 serving as open space. Discussion began May, 2013. Revised plans were discussed at the Sept. meeting. Discussion involved sight distance, stormwater calculations, road profile adjustments, and the Lot 20 septic system.

Polnerow Land Development Plan, 26 Westtown Rd.: This plan proposes a large barn. Discussion began at the May meeting. Once the applicant obtains a recommendation from the Township Historic Committee and provides additional engineering information, discussion will resume.

Winter is coming and that means snow. So

please keep the following in mind:

• Please cut your overgrown tree limbs

BEFORE it snows. These limbs when

weighted down with snow and ice are

a hazard. They obstruct the vision of

drivers and pose a danger to vehicular

traffic and pedestrians.

• Thornbury Twp. is not responsible

for replacing or repairing a mailbox

damaged as a result of snow removal.

Make sure your mailbox is securely fixed

to your mail box post. Make sure your

mail box post is securely in the ground.

• Please do NOT shovel snow or ice into

the street or right of way. This is not

only dangerous to our plow crew

this is a danger to vehicular traffic

and pedestrians.

• Please do not park on the road or

cul-de-sac in the event of a snow

storm. This makes it extremely

difficult and sometimes impossible

to plow the street.

TIPS ABOUT THE DO-NOT-CALL REGISTRY

Do you even answer your land-line or home

phone anymore? The majority of those

calls are sales, surveys and telemarketers.

The National Do Not Call Registry gives

you a choice about whether to receive

telemarketing calls at home. Most

telemarketers should not call your number

once it has been on the registry for 31

days. If they do, you can file a complaint at

this Website. You can register your home

or mobile phone for free. You may file a

complaint if you received an unwanted call

after your number was on the National

Registry for 31 days. Scammers have been

making phone calls claiming to represent

the National Do Not Call Registry. The

calls claim to provide an opportunity to

sign up for the Registry. These calls are not

coming from the Registry or the Federal

Trade Commission, and you should not

respond to these calls. Attention sellers and

telemarketers: Go to https://telemarketing.

Call Registry.

Home Sweet Cave?“They were only holes digged in the ground”

Mid to late 1600’s… A passenger boarding a ship in England would have no idea the time length their voyage would be to America. History indicates voyages varied from 47 to 138 days. Eight miles an hour was top speed when there was a promising wind. The Mayflower, moving an average of about five miles an hour, took 66 days to cross. Of primary importance to Pennsylvania’s first settlers was shelter. The most primitive of all shelters, the cave, became home to those who could not find family to stay with while a cabin was being built. The families of Joseph Gilpin and William Brinton, original Settlers of our area, separately took shelter in caves in the sides of hills near Dilworthtown. The location of the Brinton cavestead is said

to have been paved over by 202 and is in the area across from the Super Wawa at Dilworthtown.The most common usage of cave dwellings was in Philadelphia,

near the Delaware River.

In 1683, Francis Daniel Pastorius, a first Settler of Philadelphia and founder of Germantown, described his early shelter: “The caves were only holes digged (sic) in the ground, covered with earth, a matter of five

or six feet deep, 10 or 12 wide and about 20 long; whereof neither the sides nor the floors have been plank’d. Herein we lived more contently than many nowadays in their planted and wainscoted places. I myself purchased one for 5 pounds—in the midst of Front Street at Philadelphia.”
