Franklintown Borough Council underwent a change of personnel as members accepted the resignation of Barry Hockley from the council and then appointed Brian Crespo to finish his term in office.

Hockley also resigned from the Franklintown Municipal Authority and Crespo was appointed to fill that spot as well. Hockley's letters of resignation offered no reason for his resignation.

An amendment to the borough's subdivision and land development ordinance took a sstep forward as council authorized it to be advertised as required by the Pennsylvania Municipal Planning Code.

This amendment should fix a requirement that any addition of an impervious surface no matter how small, requires a stormwater management plan. These plans must be done by an engineer and can be expensive. The amendment, if passed, will waive this requirement for surfaces less than 1,000 square feet. The flaw in the original ordinance came to light as the new codes officer attempted to issue building permits for a parking pad and a shed.

A 20-5 victory over Cedar Cliff last Friday night, May 3, put an exclamation point on Senior Night for the Northern H.S.Varsity Girls Lacrosse team.

The squad started and ended the game the same way -- by dominating the draw and controlling the ball. Nina Burns led the team with eight goals followed by Cora Bubb with seven goals and one assist. Kayla Michaels had seven assists and Katie Ayers had five. Katie Ayers added three goals, and Hannah Starner and Jenna Breon posted one goal a piece.

On Thursday, May 2, Northern travelled to face New Oxford in a non-conference game. A fast-paced game, the Lady Colonials pulled sway in the last eight minutes with a 15-8 win. By halftime, leading scorer Nina Burns was being double teamed and New Oxford wore down the Northern squad that had won their six previous games. Nina Burns posted three goals and Kayla Michaels added two. Katie Ayers, Cora Bubb, and Hannah Starner added one goal a piece. Mackenzie O'Haver had 10 saves with 25 shots at goal. In JV action, Northern fell on a 9-5 decision.
