Fatality at Rt. 15 and Golf Course Road
By Staff Reporter
One person was killed and
other injured in a three-vehicle
collision Wednesday afternoon in
Carroll Township that closed Rt.

The York County coroner was
called to the scene at the Golf
Course Road and Rt. 15 intersection,
shortly after 3 p.m.
Both lanes of the highway
were shut down for several hours
with traffic diverted onto secondary
roads. A single southbound
lane opened late in the afternoon.
Both northbound lanes were
opened just after 8:30 p.m.

DABA glitzes up the square
Dillsburg Area Business
Association members and
other volunteers decorated
Dillsburg Borough’s square
last Sunday in preparation
for the annual Christmas
Tree Light Up Night on
Friday.
Members garnished the
light poles with festive red
bows and adorned the tree
with hundreds of bright
shiny colorful ornaments
and lights.
The lighting ceremony
starts at 7 p.m. with a
proclamation by Mayor
John Richardson. After his
presentation the tree will be
lit, followed by a story
telling and Christmas carols.
After the festivities on
the square, all are invited to
historic Monaghan Church
for cookies, hot chocolate
and to meet Santa.

Legal action brewing over stormwater issues
By Peggie Williams
The complete failure of
the stormwater retention
pond in Franklintown Glen
prompted Franklin
Township supervisors to
begin legal action against
the homeowners’ association
for that neighborhood.
“I just don’t think they
understand the gravity of
the situation,” said
Township Engineer Phil
Brath.
Repeated attempts to
talk to the president of the
association have failed to
bring any action toward fixing
the problem which is
now causing the road to
collapse.
Lady Polar Bears ready for the new season
By Joe Guty
After a week of practice
and a scrimmage, the
Northern H.S. Girls
Basketball team is ready for
the 2018-19 season. What
might set this year's team
apart are some changes in
off-season practice and
reps. Despite losing five
seniors to graduation,
including leading scorers
Corrina Smith and Kyra
Gerber, the Lady Polar
Bears have stepped up their
game year-round, working
diligently to improve their
offensive skills as well as
defensive abilities.
“We have improved in
many areas in the off season
and we look to have
much more balanced scoring
this year from several
returning players,” said
Head Coach Paula
Clendaniel earlier this
week. “We have two
returning starters in Allie
French and Katie Ryan. We
have another key returning
player returning in Cassie
Smith. Several of our players
from last year have
worked hard all off season
at open gym, AAU, camps
and team camp. We have
developed more scorers as
well as put a huge emphasis
on our defense.”
Three players currently
on the JV team (two freshmen
and one sophomore)
will also likely get varsity
minutes.
