Delaware Township’s efforts to keep its residents informed has earned the municipality the honorable title of Outstanding Communicator plus two first place awards in the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors’ (PSATS) 46th Annual Citizen Communications Contest.
The Citizen Communication Contest recognizes townships that have successfully communicated programs, news, information, and activities to their residents. All entrants who take part in the Communication Contest also compete for the annual Outstanding Citizen Communication Award, which is presented at PSATS’ Annual Conference to one township that shows an exceptional commitment to keeping its residents informed. Delaware Township was the only entrant to achieve this title and win first place in multiple categories.
Delaware Township was awarded first place in the website category. Additionally, its newsletter,
Delaware Township Receives Top Communication Awards In Annual Communication Contest!
Living Delaware, received first place in the newsletter category.
Delaware Township’s website received the highest marks for its exceptional design, creativity, and usability. Additional acknowledgment was given to the website’s color, use of graphics and convenient navigational bar. Living Delaware, a new
publication, was admired for its fusion of news, history and events in an attractive,
easy to read format. “We’ve improved our engagement with residents and
simplified their process to access the information they need,” said Tom Ryan, Delaware Township’s Chair Supervisor and Treasurer. “Our decision to redesign the website was based on the needs
of the community, and the need for transparency and open communication.”
Ryan’s effort to put the publics’ right-to-know at the forefront was admired earlier this year when the Township received the American Red
Cross Community Partnership Award after their hands-on response and recovery during the power outages of Hurricane Sandy.
Delaware Township Administrator/Secretary, Barbara Foos, describes Tom as a man with a vision.
“Tom’s goal to establish an open relationship with residents became a reality when he took the initiative to rebuild our website,” Foos said. “Since then, we’ve been applauded for having a robust site that includes everything from meeting schedules, minutes and agendas to local news and upcoming events.”
Foos and Krista Predmore, Delaware Township Office Manager are responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Township to

What A Winter For Our Intrepid Road Crew! As all of us are certainly aware, this winter has been particularly difficult – and it doesn’t show signs of being willing to quit. As a result of all the snow and ice, our dedicated road crew has given so much of their time to try to keep our roads safe for the residents of Delaware Township. To go by the numbers, our road crew has worked 250 hours of overtime (and this does not include our Road Master, who is not eligible for overtime). We have used approximately 600 tons of salt and 650 tons of anti-skid. They have used this material over 15 snow and ice events. Whew!
All of us here at the Township are incredibly grateful for their dedication and willingness to give so much to the township and its residents, so on behalf of all of us, a heartfelt “Thank You!”

Township Residents Kick Up Their Heels for a Good CauseOn February 15th, the Delaware Township Community Events Board held its first annual Valentine’s Day Square Dance benefitting a local food pantry. Township residents enjoyed an evening of music and dancing presented by Pat Cannon Foot & Fiddle Dance Company. Despite the snow, the evening was a huge success and the Township was able to raise over $500 for the food pantry. Mike Bukaj, chairman of the Delaware Township Community Events Board, said of the event, “The evening was a huge success. It was great to see so many people gather to support the community. We look forward to many more events.” The Community Events Board is always seeking ideas and volunteers for future events and meets on the first Monday of the month at the Township EMA building.

Pike County Lyme Disease Task Force The Pike County Lyme Disease Task Force (PCLDTF), established in July 2013, is made up of volunteers intending to develop a comprehensive network to educate the population of Pike County on Lyme Disease. Pike County Lyme Disease Task Force and PEEC have joined forces to help prevent the spread of Lyme Disease. Together, they will work to educate the public about the prevalence and dangers of Lyme, how to protect yourself from becoming infected, and how to enjoy your time outside. The Task Force will focus on medical and other resources, present tick mitigation and other workshops, as well as provide support groups.
It’s time to enjoy the great outdoors; just remember to Identify, Prevent, and Remove. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bite of an infected deer tick. Untreated Lyme can cause a number of health problems. It is our mission to help you stay safe and be informed by raising awareness of the tick-borne disease and encouraging local advocacy and precautions. The Pike County Lyme Disease Task Force is focused on decreasing the number of Lyme Disease accounts by building community awareness through education, support, and advocacy. The Task Force coordinators are Jim McCaw, Sandy McCaw, Jeff Rosalsky, Marty Theys and Mikki Weiss. Volunteers are needed and welcome. We all have the vital role to get the word out about Lyme Disease.
For more information, please feel free to contact: Pike County Lyme Disease Task Force, 538 Emery Road, Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania 18328. Telephone #: (570) 503-6334
make sure everything runs efficiently and accurately. Predmore’s involvement with the website and newsletter is crucial, as she writes and inserts its content daily. Living Delaware, the Township’s newsletter, is a quarterly publication provides pertinent information about Township’s happenings and events. The newsletter is free to the public and is no cost to residents.
The website and publication was designed by the Niki Jones Agency, a public relations and marketing firm in Port Jervis, NY. Representatives of Delaware Township met with Niki Jones Agency in 2013 to establish and maintain the municipality’s brand and visual identity. Together they implemented a strategy that would enhance brand strength, build loyalty, and promote communication through the website and newsletter. Delaware Township’s commitment to community will be recognized once again on April 13 at the PSATS’ 92nd Annual Educational Conference in Hershey, PA, where they will be presented with the Outstanding Citizen Communication Award.

We all know that in a “dog eat dog” world, the biggest dog with the loudest bark usually ends up leader of the pack. We see this more clearly than ever before in the schools, communities and home environments, through what is known as “bullying”. The media and Cyberbullying, the latest trend in bullying, adds a complex, digital layer to the existing problem.
How Can We Break The Cycle ?
Anti-Bullying actions can start with the parents. Recent research on bullying and resilience says that “warm family relationships and positive home environments help children from the negative outcomes associated with bullying victimization.”
No parent is perfect, but it’s important for every parent to recognize and remember that YOUR KIDS ARE ALWAYS WATCHING YOU! Be sure that you behave in ways that you would like to see replicated. Create a supportive family environment. Get to know your kids, find out what they love, and then support those passions. It’s also the parents job to ensure that your communication with your children remains positive! Listen to what your child is saying. Be sure to clue in if your child seems to feel unsafe in a situation and pursue that in conversation.
Encourage school and community involvement. The more involved that kids are with others and with organizations, the better off they are. Whatever they do, support their involvement in healthy activities because it will continue to make them healthier in the long run. Provide clear boundaries, children need guidelines to follow as they grow up, and they need to feel safe and should have high expectations in terms of behavior, caring, honesty, responsible, self-control, respect for self, others, and property.
Facing Bullying with Confidence. Some skills kids can use right away.
It all comes down to positive body language. Do you look like a victim? Non-victims walk with bigger steps and project a positive, assertive attitude. Suggest that your child keep his/her back straight with a happy face, eyes focused on surrounding area, avoiding people who might cause trouble. Show your child the difference between being passive, no response to an insult… aggressive, look the bully in the eyes. And an assertive tone of voice yell not scream and choice of words like NO! or” STOP! I don’t like that!”
Using Physical Self-Defense as a Last Resort.
The best defense is disappear. It is easier to avoid a situation then get out of one. There is no education complete with out the knowledge of learning martial art self defense it will help most children become more confident, even if they never have to use these skills in a real life situation. Children need to know when they have the right to hurt someone to stop that person from hurting them.
The New Face of BullyingBy Sensei Albert Casale Wall of Remembrance to
arrive in Pike CountyThe Wall of Remembrance will be on display for the first time ever in Matamoras when it opens to the public from July 11 to 13 as part of Vetstock 2014.
The Wall of Remembrance is a 6-foot-tall, 94-foot-long, two-sided display featuring the names of every victim of the 9/11 attacks and those of all military personnel killed in the subsequent conflicts. The other side depicts a timeline of the Global War on Terror, beginning with the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, which resulted in the death of 241 Americans. The wall will be available for viewing Friday, July 11 through Sunday, July 13 inside the Matamoras Veteran’s Memorial Park. Admission is free of charge.
More than 100 motorcyclists are expected to attend Vetstock’s second annual memorial ride and tribute ceremony on Saturday, July 12 at American Legion Post 139 in Milford, PA. Members of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, American Legion and Warriors Watch will escort riders for a ten mile memorial ride from the American Legion to the Matamoras Veterans Memorial Park to remember and honor the heroes, volunteers and victims who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and since. The ride and ceremony will be coordinated around the time of the events on 9/11.
The Memorial Wall viewing is organized by the Vetstock Committee to honor veterans past and present and the community and families who suffered the loss of a loved one or friend in the War on Terror.

Pennsylvania’s 511PA traveler information system is now providing motorists with better access to traffic information with an improved website, www.511PA.com, as well as improved phone and personal-alert systems. The redesigned website, which works on both computers and mobile devices, provides free, 24-hour travel information for thousands of miles of state roads including the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Incident and construction information is available for 40,000 miles of state roads, essentially the entire PennDOT-maintained system, plus the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The original 511PA system offered information for the 2,900 miles that make up the “core system” of interstates and select U.S. routes. Information on current traffic conditions has improved with real-time traffic-speed data now available for 15,000 roadway miles, expanded from 659.
The site also now offers access to 30 additional traffic cameras from the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, in addition to the 650 already available across the state. Users who opt to get their traveler information on the phone will find an easier-to-use system that provides information more quickly and includes better voice recognition technology. The phone system is accessible by dialing 511 from within Pennsylvania. Users who call 511PA from outside the state should call 1-877-511-PENN (7366).
In addition to the website and phone options, motorists can sign up to receive personal travel alerts through email and text messages. The alerts can be customized by roadway, time of day and days of the week. Alerts are also available through Twitter feeds assigned to each 511PA region, as well as a statewide feed. Since 511PA launched in September 2009, the service has had more than 3.1 million website visits, nearly 20,000 alert subscribers and 1.9 million phone calls.

DIG DELAWAREThe seed catalogues have filled our mailboxes since January, our days are getting brighter and longer, both signs that a much anticipated growing season will be here soon. Choosing perennial plants for your garden can be a difficult task since there are thousands of choices.
Perennial plants, grown for their flowers, their foliage or both, return year after year in a garden. They may be evergreen or deciduous with the visible parts of the plants dying down each winter and new ones returning each spring. Compared with annuals (which have to be replanted every year), perennials are left in place to grow, to look bigger and better, and to bloom more season after season. Perennials are a diverse group.
They include some of the best-loved flowering plants such as daisies, mums and carnations.
Spectacular foliage plants such as ornamental grasses, hostas and lamb’s ears are also perennials. They can be planted in containers or worked in among trees and shrubs for seasonal color. Many perennials make excellent ground covers.
The classic use of perennials is to combine many of them in a large planting bed known as a perennial border. A well-planned border would have something in bloom thought the growing season.
For most gardeners a perennial border is constantly evolving, that’s what makes it fun. When certain plants don’t work, replace them with something else. Container grown perennials can be planted any time you can work with the ground.
However the best time to plan such perennials is in the early spring or autumn because the plants will have time to get established before the hot weather begins.
Many perennials benefit from being cut back at various times during their growth cycles. To stimulate branching on lower stems and to make a plant bushier, pinch out new growth at the top.
Deadheading is the process of pinching or cutting off faded flowers while the plant is in bloom. This process forces the plant to develop more flowers instead of setting seed which results in a longer bloom cycle. Most perennials should be cut back to a height of 6-8 inches at the end of the growing season.
This cutting back rejuvenates the plant and results in a better bloom the next season. Where the ground freezes in winter, mulch plants with at least 4-6 inches of organic matter.
When older plants become overcrowded or bloom poorly, they can be dug and divided which is a good way to increase plan numbers and share plants with friends and neighbors.
Favorite Perennials for Your Garden
PAGE 11LIVING DELAWARE | SPRING 2014
Purple Coneflower – This North American native is a must for a perennial border. It reaches 3-5 feet high and has daisy-like blossoms beginning in June and continuing until frost. All summer, butterflies find the blooms irresistible.
Daylily – Daylilies are dependable and pest-fee. They spread quickly and flower freely. They produce trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, orange and pink. Divide in spring or fall when flowering declines.
Shasta Daisy – For people who love white daisies, Shastas are a must in the perennial border. Created by American plantsman Luther Burbank, Shastas are tidy, well-behaved plants that require little attention. The foliage remains evergreen during winter.
Bee Balm – Bee balm flowers come in a variety of shades and bloom atop spicily scented foliage. Place these tall plants at the back of the border where they will attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Catmint – Catmint is a prolific plant with tall, wispy spikes of lavender-blue flower over grayish-green foliage that releases a pungent aroma when touched. It is easy to grow in most conditions and is especially attractive near plants with pale yellow flowers.
Russian Sage – Russian Sage is superb plant whose silvery-gray foliage, lavender blossoms and enticing fragrance should insure it a spot in every sunny garden. Like most large plants, it looks best when it has room to spread. It is low maintenance, only requiring an annual pruning in late winter.
Black-eyed Susan – The black-eyed Susan is free-blooming and easy to grow. They grow 2-4 feet, bloom from summer to autumn and reseed themselves heavily. The dazzling golden yellow color makes it a favorite with gardeners and landscapers.
Garden Phlox – Phlox has been a part of perennial gardens for decades. These plants are vigorous, reaching to 4 feet and should be placed in the middle of the border. Avoid crowding because these plants need plenty of ventilation.
