Blogging Buffet Part 2: What's up in McSherrystown

THIS BLOG ENTRY WAS PHOTOGRAPHED BY JAMES ROBINSON OF THE EVENING SUN :)

E-Cycle Your Electronics!
Council has approved Leftovers Recycling Services to collect computers, printers, monitors, cabling, modems, keyboards, scanners, copiers and other office machines. The service also accepts DVD, CD, and VCR machines as well as cordless power tools, battery packs and other rechargeable batteries (but NOT TVs).

The electronic recycling service will be available during the borough's regular recycling hours as soon as the container can be placed.

The McSherrystown recycling operation is at the borough public works building on Oak Lane just off of North Second Street. The center is open Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. and every third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m . until noon.

Ban on dogs in public parks now in effect where posted
Because of a few irresponsible residents causing a potential health hazard and unsightly mess by not cleaning up after their dogs, and the inability to enforce such laws unless these people are "caught in the act," a ban on dogs in the parks has been implemented. This only applies to posted grounds. All other grounds still require the owner to pick up after their pet.

Traffic/sidewalk/street concerns? Now's the time to voice your opinion.
There will be a special meeting of Borough Council on August 10, 2005 at 7:00PM to discuss concerns about the 2nd Street Sidewalk project.

Anyone with concerns about McSherrystown streets and intersections, such as input into future plans for traffic concerns, can speak and be heard.

EDITED December 21, 2010: In September 2009 I moved to Meadville to be closer to ailing family. This was a decision that is still sometimes difficult. My old 717 cell phone number was assigned to someone else, and the new person began receiving calls relating to my business at all hours. To reduce this, I am redacting my old 717 home and cell phone numbers from this post, as they are not my current numbers. Please visit www.facebook.com/herbriede for up to date contact information. In addition, I discontinued my mayoral website in 2010. To avoid confusion, I have removed the link to this as well. I miss McSherrystown, my girls miss it, they grew up there, and it is a good place to live. - Herb === My wife, my mother and I wish to say thank you to all of those people we met while greeting voters at the polls. As your next Mayor, I take the position of Mayor seriously. I ran on establishing 24 hour police protection and making the roads safer for pedestrians and drive...

Evening Sun - Former McSherrystown mayor remembered

Evening Sun - Former McSherrystown mayor remembered : Former McSherrystown mayor remembered By ASHLEY ADAMS Evening Sun Reporter Article Launched: 08/29/2007 10:17:36 AM EDT Most people knew him as the mayor of McSherrystown. To some, he was just plain "Moe." To his family, he was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. But for everyone who came into contact with Cyril T. Noel, he was a trustworthy, generous and dependable man who gave to his family and community without expecting anything in return. Noel died Saturday at York Hospital at the age of 82. "We really are going to miss him because he was our rock," said his wife, Frances Noel. Cyril lived in McSherrystown his whole life and, as a young boy, acquired the "Moe" moniker. "Everyone has a nickname in McSherrystown," said his son, David Noel. "That's just how they did it." Frances said Cyril never liked his given name. He even had an uncle who would call him ...

//IMHO// The Occupy Movement's goal? - A Constitutional Amendment, Perhaps?

Have you actually read the Occupy Declaration ? I don't think the goal is just fixing what has gone wrong by making people pay their fair share and getting people back to work and general economic and social fairness, but fixing it permanently. The declaration says "THEY" often. Who are "THEY"? It's not Millionaires - it's CORPORATIONS. What action would permanently address every point in the Declaration?? Perhaps a constitutional amendment permanently reversing parts of, any or all Supreme Court " Corporate Personhood " decisions: - Citizens United v. FEC - Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad - Dartmouth College v. Woodward is required. Specifically, I can imagine demands/effects such as: - The ability of a state to revoke a corporate charter (Corporate death penalty) - The invalidation of Corporate "personhood" and revocation of all Constitutional protections given to corporations given to people unles...
