Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Conewago Township officials have adopted a balanced 2015 budget with no increase in real estate taxes for the second consecutive year.

The approved budget keeps the tax mill rate at 2.0109, meaning the owner of a home assessed at $200,000 will continue to pay about $402 in municipal property taxes.

The township's balanced 2015 budget is about $2,925,000, and includes transferring $232,000 from a reserve fund to the general fund to help pay for renovations to the township administration office and police department, said township secretary/treasurer Keith Whittaker.

The township has a plan to pay itself back over a period of 10 years with interest.

Hanover-Adams officials finalize 2015 spending plans

Officials plan to spend about $1,542,000 on police expenses, including $225,000 for the construction/renovations of the police portion of the township's office building at 541 Oxford Ave.

Another expense is fire protection at $171,000, with that amount including $48,000 for public fire hydrants, $22,000 for workers' compensation and the $51,000 per year set aside every year since 2009 expressly for the Southeastern Adams Volunteer Emergency Services building project, said Whittaker.

Conewago officials plan to spend a portion of the township's funds on an Adams County project that will help with land preservation.

The funding for the project was a new line item in the township's budget last year, and supervisors spent $75,000 to pay half of the township's contribution toward a land preservation project that is being headed by Adams County.

At that time, Conewago Township officials had agreed to pay up to $150,000 over the period of two years to help Adams County pay for the preservation of approximately 475 acres of farmland adjacent to the historic Conewago Chapel. The preservation project was done to insure that property is never sold or used as residential or commercial development, said the supervisors.

Sometimes cleaning a messy room is a holiday tradition, and sometimes "liking to eat" is reason enough for celebration - at least when you're in third grade at EJ Blott Elementary School.

This is according to the 8- and 9-year-old students in Carla Collins' class who last week took to the front of the classroom to teach their peers and family members about their cultural festivities. Collins said this year was particularly exciting with students from Sierra Leone, Palestine and India sharing information about Eid Al-Fitr, or the feast that ends the Muslim fast during Ramadan, and Holi, or a Hindu festival of colors.

"It was so different with the diversity, when you make it personal, they'll remember it," Collins said.

Tribune Chronicle photos / Margaret Thompson Wearing a traditional African dress, Adama Seray-Wurie tells her classmates at E.J. Blott Elementary School in Liberty about holiday traditions in other cultures. The Sierra Leone native said she interviewed her father about the holiday and explained wearing a hijab.

The first student to present was Moawya Adhami who came to the school a few months ago, able to speak only Arabic. Collins spent time working with Adhami's mother to translate what he was telling her about the holiday of Eid Al-Fitr.

"We don't eat until it is dark," he explained to his class.

His progress in picking up English has been amazing, Collins said.

"He told me he gives his mother gifts (for Eid Al-Fitr), so I asked what kind of gifts and he told me he gives her money. I asked him how do you give your mom money? Then when I called her on the phone she said yes he does, that it is tradition for the men to give women money," she said. "I mean there are things I'm learning."

Wearing a traditional African dress, Adama Seray-Wurie also taught her class about Eid Al-Fitr. The Sierra Leone native said she interviewed her father about the holiday and explained wearing a hijab.

"I think it is important for them to know what the holidays mean," said mother Larissa May, whose daughter Shaferra May spoke about Thanksgiving.

ESCANABA - A 25-year-old Escanaba man has been charged with embezzling nearly $5,000 in forged checks while cleaning at a local funeral home, according to police and court records.

Benjamin Lee Maher, of 1315 2nd Ave. S., Escanaba, was arrested last month in connection with five checks he allegedly stole and forged from Crawford Funeral Home in Escanaba from Nov. 20 to 28.

Maher was working as a maintenance person for the funeral home when the alleged incidents occurred, according to Escanaba Public Safety.

Maher was bound over this week from Delta County District Court to circuit court on five counts of uttering and publishing and one count of embezzlement $1,000 to $20,000 in connection with the forged checks totaling $4,870.

Each forgery count has a maximum punishment of 14 years in prison. The embezzlement count carries a maximum sentencing of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine or three times the amount embezzled, whichever is greater.

Maher remains lodged in the county jail in lieu of a $10,000 cash bond.

An 8-year-old girl has died after being hit by a falling tree branch at Pitt Town Public School in Sydney's north-west on Friday. Nine News.

Just seconds after the school bell sounded and children were crossing the Pitt Town Public School playground to retrieve their lunch from their bags, there was a snap and a loud thud.

A large branch from a 50-year-old gum tree fell and landed on top of three students and a teacher on Friday afternoon at the small school in semi-rural north-western Sydney.

Eight year-old Bridget Wright, a horse lover and high-achieving year 4 student, was pinned beneath a limb of the towering tree and died after being rushed to Westmead Hospital.

SILVER CITY >> The Silver City MainStreet Project has received an end-of-the-year donation challenge grant of a match of up to $3,000 for donations received before the end of the year. The challenge match grant was made by an anonymous donor. MainStreet Project still needs $100,000 to complete work on the Silco Theater.

Silver City MainStreet is trying to raise $500,000 to fully restore and renovate the historical theater which dates back to 1923. Once the renovation work is complete, MainStreet plans to lease out the building to a movie theater operator and they are expecting that first-run movies will likely be shown at the downtown movie house. The theater will seat 175 people when the renovation work is done.

So far, the exterior facade renovations have been completed.

The external renovations include the installation of new parapet flashing. Contractors restored the plaster detail on the exterior of the second floor. Workers also renovated and painted the second floor windows.

On the first-floor faade, workers reconstructed the transom windows, replaced the tile work below the windows and applied stucco and paint.

Workers also reconfigured the existing theater exterior entry vestibule to more closely match the original historic entry vestibule plan. Construction included removing some existing vestibule walls and replacing them with a new entry and side walls.

Workers have also completed work on the rear of the building. Construction on the rear side of the building includes a new exterior concrete staircase to provide access. Part of that work involved removing an existing concrete ramp. Workers also installed new downspouts at the rear of the building. Additional construction work at the west side of the building involved closing a door opening with brick that was not part of the original theater design.

Work still needed to be done:

New electrical and heat and air conditioning mechanical services.

A new partition layout to provide spaces for one new restroom, janitor closet, storage, and interior theater vestibule.
