    Tax collectors’ rate hike deniedAn official said theincrease would haveequaled about $90Kextra in compensationfrom the county.By ED [email protected]

    York County commissioners onWednesday denied a request fromcounty tax collectors for a rate in-

    crease.“Looking at the tax increase we

    had to come up with for 2013 ... I justthought it was appropriate to holdthe line at the same level for thenext four years,” CommissionerDoug Hoke said after their weeklymeeting.

    Commissioners Steve Chronisterand Chris Reilly also voted to keepthe compensation rate flat. Tax col-lectors will continue to receive 75cents for each bill mailed and $2.14for each bill collected.

    Commissioners set that rate forfour years, beginning in January2014.

    County administrator Chuck Nollsaid tax collectors wanted an in-crease in compensation of slightlymore than 19 percent — an increaseof 20 cents for each bill mailed and35 cents for each bill collected.

    “York County tax collectors arecurrently paid at essentially thesame rates as in 1998,” Jean Stam-baugh wrote on behalf of the YorkCounty Tax Collectors’ Association

    in December.She said inflation has eroded

    collectors’ effective compensation toabout 40 percent of its 1998 purchas-ing power, and that tax collectorsare underpaid.

    Commissioners disagreed.

    On Wednesday, Noll said the in-crease would have equaled an extra$90,400 in total compensation fromthe county, in addition to the about$475,000 budgeted for 2013.

    “I think, at this juncture, the taxcollectors are compensated fairly,”Reilly said, adding that the econom-ic environment wasn’t right to in-crease their compensation.

    Attempted rape caseTrying out trials

    Fatherdetailsfight withsuspectBy RICK [email protected]

    It is clear from the evidence — two20-gauge shotgun holes in the wall of DonaldM. Kloch Sr.’s Peach Bottom Township bed-room — that something happened there.

    The prosecution maintains it was a strug-gle over a shotgun after two men stopped anattempted rape on May 7.

    The defense contends it was an assault onKloch, 51, with the shotgun going off when hewas hit in the head with the stock.

    Testimony in day two of Kloch’s attemptedrape and attempted murder trial continuedin York County court Wednesday.

    There was little new information that hadnot already been raised in openingstatements on Tuesday. But the defense con-tinued to confront witnesses, including the al-leged assault victim, her mother and father,with discrepancies between their previousstatements and their trial testimony.

    The alleged victim, now 20, returned to thestand Wednesday after more than three hoursof cross-examination the day before.

    According to the prosecution, Kloch washolding the woman accountable for the $900he lost in a bogus drug deal, attempting toforce himself on her.

    The defense has countered that thewoman was willingly in the house, trying tomake cellphone contact with the purporteddrug dealer to get Kloch’s money back.

    Kacey Simon, 26, admitted he was the mid-dleman in the drug deal that lost Kloch’smoney. He said the woman had called himabout buying Percocet and that he had a con-tact in Maryland.

    He said he, Kloch and the woman drove toMaryland where he took the money into ahouse and gave it to “Sandy.” He said Sandytold him she had to go across the road to getthe drugs.

    She never came back, Simon said.Meanwhile, the woman, who was waiting

    in the car with Kloch, was texting him thatKloch was getting angry and was threateninghim with physical harm, Simon said.

    “I took off,” Simon said.On cross-examination, Simon denied steal-

    ing Kloch’s money and said Sandy had been agood source in the past.

    The woman’s father testified that after lo-cating his daughter’s car at Kloch’s house, heand a man named Ben walked in, called hername and heard her scream.

    He said he broke through the bedroomdoor with his shoulder and was confrontedwith a double-barreled shotgun. He said hedemanded Kloch release his daughter, andKloch refused, telling the father he was dead.

    He said his daughter was behind Klochand grabbed him around the neck, giving hima chance to push the shotgun barrel up.

    He said Ben punched Kloch while theystruggled over the shotgun. The father saidthe shotgun went off twice, and he took thegun and hit Kloch in the head with the stock.

    He said he and Ben beat Kloch to thefloor and then left with his daughter.

    Kloch’s trial resumes today.

    ‘21 babies saved’ by Newborn Protection ActA baby girl at MemorialHospital was one of thenewborns left at hospitalsacross the state since theact’s inception 10 years ago.By BRANDIE [email protected]

    In the 10 years since the Newborn Protec-tion Act went into effect, 21 infants have beenleft at Pennsylvania hospitals, according to

    the state Department of Public Welfare.Among them was a baby girl left at Memo-

    rial Hospital in April 2004.That infant was left by a woman in her

    late 20s to early 30s who didn’t leave hername or medical history, according to hospit-al staff at the time. The infant was examinedand found to be healthy.

    “When you look at that 21 number, everyone of them is a success story, and that’s 21babies saved,” said Anne Bale, spokespersonfor the state Department of Public Welfare.

    But, she added, “there are more (babies)out there.”

    “Every year in Pennsylvania, nearly adozen newborns are abandoned,” a news re-lease from the Department of Public Welfarestates. “While most are left with relatives orfriends, a few are killed or left in unsafe loca-tions.”

    That is frustrating, Bale said.“This is completely preventable,” she said.

    “You can take your baby to a hospital.”For some reason, despite efforts to publi-

    cize the act, “someone always overlooks it,”Bale said. “That’s one of the reasons to talkabout our anniversary.”

    TaxHow it worksThe Newborn Protection

    Act, enacted in 2003, saysany parent may leave a new-born at any hospital in Penn-sylvania, as long as it isunharmed and 28 days old oryounger.

    In accordance with thelaw, every hospital has stafftrained to take a baby that isleft there. Parents wishing toleave their baby doesn’t haveto answer any questions orgive their name.

    Anne Bale, spokespersonfor the Department of PublicWelfare, said procedure mayvary from one hospital to thenext. In general, a baby leftat a hospital is given a medi-cal exam and turned over tothe county’s children andyouth program. From there,the baby is found a fosterhome with the hope of adop-tion, Bale said.

    Tax collectorsMunicipalities and school

    districts also pay tax collec-tors, county officials said.

    “Many of the tax collec-tors collect all three,” countyadministrator Chuck Nollsaid, adding that someschool districts collect theirown taxes.

    County spokesman CarlLindquist said the countycovers the cost of postageand envelopes. The figurescommissioners discussedWednesday related only tothe commission tax collectorsreceive, he said.

    The City of York has itsown treasurer responsible fortax collection, so compensa-tion from the county is hand-led differently for the city thanother entities, Noll said.

    Continued from 1C• • •

    Some of the ad campaignsfor the act address the“shame or fear” parentsmight feel leaving their babyat a hospital, Bale said. Somehospitals have a bassinet orcrib where babies may beleft. In other hospitals, peoplewishing to leave their babywould want to talk to a staffmember and inform the staffthey’re leaving their babythere.

    “While it’s not an ideal sit-uation, it’s far better thanabandoning your baby, whichis illegal,” Bale said.

    A parent does not need toleave the baby in the hospitalwhere it was born, nor doesthe parent need to leave thebaby behind before they aredischarged from the hospital.As long as the baby is 28 daysold or younger and un-harmed, the Newborn Protec-tion Act applies.

    Bale said babies left athospitals are examined by adoctor, then turned over tothe county of children andyouth.

    “Frequently, these chil-dren are quickly adopted,”she said.

    In December, when com-missioners approved a finalbudget, county officials saidthey were limiting wage in-creases for non-bargainingemployees to 1 percent, whilealso asking those employeesto contribute more to theirhealth care. Commissionersdid not receive raises for2013.

    Stambaugh could not bereached for commentWednesday.

    In the December letter,Stambaugh wrote that tax col-lectors receive no health orretirement benefits from anyof the taxing authorities theysupport. She said they pro-vide their own office space,equipment and staffing.

    “... (W)e use our personalcars and gas to collect yourrevenues and we receivelittle reimbursement for op-erating expenses,” she said.“Increases in utilities, gas,food, etc. make it difficult to‘make ends meet’ these days.”

    County spokesman Carl

    Lindquist said in an emailthat some counties do not paytax collectors for sendingbills, only for collecting them.York County pays for both.

    “The tax collector posi-tion, like all elected positions,is voluntary on behalf of theofficeholder,” Lindquist said.“If the overall compensationwere too low, one wouldexpect to see higher turnoverin these positions.”

    York County Judicial Centerfor a few weeks. Studentteams receive case materialsmonths in advance of trials,when they’re asked to playlawyers, witnesses, plaintiffsand defendants.

    Volunteers, mostly mem-bers of the local legal com-munity, serve as jurors anddecide the winners based onhow well the students presenttheir cases and follow courtrules. This year’s case askedthe jury to decide if the de-veloper of an urban renewalproject was responsible for acrane collapse that killed twopeople.

    During one of the trials

    presented Wednesday, theSpring Grove Area HighSchool team, acting as theprosecution, pulled out a winover a Littlestown HighSchool team.

    Judge Michael Flannelly,who presided over the SpringGrove-Littlestown trial, saidthe competition gives stu-dents an appreciation forhow to speak in public and

    react quickly under pressure.It’s one of the hardest thingsyoung lawyers face, he said.

    While the jury was out,Flannelly took a moment tocommend the student teamson their work and offer themsome tips.

    “I know it’s a nerve-wrack-ing experience,” he toldthem.

    Littlestown team memberDanielle Myers said she likesthat mock trial makes stu-dents think on their feet.They just have to keep whatthey learned about the casein mind.

    “My heart was pounding amile a minute,” she said.

    Some students said afuture interest in a legalcareer is part of their reasonfor participating.

    “Part of it is meeting allthe different people ... justthe competition. Our schoolgets really into it,” said AbieHinson, a Spring Grove teammember, noting mock trial isone place they are supposedto argue.
