Dunbar Twp. trick-or-treat set in for Oct. 26
DUNBAR TWP. – Township supervisors this week agreed to set trick-or-treat on Oct. 26 from 4 to 5 p.m. However, the date doesn’t include Liberty or Dickerson Run children. Children living in those areas will use Vanderbilt Borough’s schedule, which has not yet been set, according to Supervisor Chairman Tom Yekel.
Yekel also announced that burning days would be extended Oct. 27 through Nov. 29, so that residents can clean up their yards.
“This will give people a chance to clean up their grass and brush,” said Yekel.
The hours for burning are from dawn to dusk.
In other unrelated matters:
– Richard Widmer, vice president of Widmer Engineering, said he would begin working on a plan for the township’s storm-water management project next month.
– During the public comment period township resident Joe Ross asked Widmer where the money came from for the recently completed sewerage project. Widmer said the money came from Federal funds.
Ross also wanted to know if the junkyard and vehicle storage ordinance was still in effect. Yekel told him yes.
Ross additionally questioned supervisors on changes to the campaign laws concerning people appointed to office. Ross said he was under the impression that if someone was appointed to an office they didn’t have the right to run for that office.
Solicitor Don McCue told Ross that is not the case. Anyone who is appointed to an office has the right to run for that office.
Resident Genevieve Logan asked the supervisors to check into a burned out house and a garage with no doors and roof.
Yekel said township code enforcement officer Roger Adams has already been told about the problem and is investigating the situation.
