Slick conditions cause traffic accidents
Curt Werner/Dillsburg Banner
Rt. 15 traffic came to a standstill after the driver of a pickup truck slammed into the back of a gas tanker near the Orebank Road intersection. Alexis Ortiz, 51, of East Berlin, was traveling north on the highway in his silver 2019 Toyota Tacoma when he passed out and hit the Peterbuilt semi driven by Steven Gardner 34, of Gettysburg, at 6:28 p.m., according to Carroll Township police. Ortiz told police he didn’t remember anything and assumed he fell asleep. He was treated and released at the scene. Gardner was not injured. The tanker was empty. Coolant from the Tacoma spilled onto the roadway. Northern York County Fire Rescue, fire police, Life Lion EMS and Carroll Township police were on the scene.
No serious injuries were reported in four area traffic accidents over the weekend, three in Carroll Township and one in Warrington Township, some attributed to slick conditions.
On Saturday evening a driver ran off the roadway on Camp Ground Road, on Sunday an operator spun out of control on Rt. 15, another driver skidded into the woods the same day and on Monday a motorist fell asleep behind the wheel and slammed into a gas tanker.

Trash prices sky rocket
Carolyn Hoffman/Dillsburg Banner
Trash collection prices in Warrington Township will skyrocket in 2024, with costs rising from 25% to nearly triple the current amounts. Supervisors received just one bid for the work, from Penn Waste.
The new prices will start in January 2024, with the four-container limit climbing to $110.91 per quarter, up 25%. The eight-container limit will go to $599.64 per year or $149.91 per quarter. The biggest rise, nearly triple the current cost, will be in the per bag category, which will jump from $8.50 per bag to $21.97 per bag.
Multiple reasons contribute to the increases. For one, Warrington doesn't have mandatory trash collection, and currently only about 20% of households use the service. Warrington is also a large township, and the trash haulers must drive many miles to reach all the households. Penn Waste cited the rise in fuel prices, a price increase at the disposal facility, and the cost of labor and trucks as their reasons for the price hikes.
The new contract is for five years.

Candace Wagner opens new location in downtown Dillsburg
Chanty Webb/Dillsburg Banner
Wagner and Commercial Cleaning started 25 years ago. At the time, business owner Wagner had two little ones.
Although she went to school for accounting, she desired flexibility with having young kids. “I decided to print out flyers and pass them out. My first client was from Dillsburg. That was the beginning of my story. She's been somebody that I've worked with off and on for the past 25 years.”
Wagner began working alone with a full-time schedule with “referrals for days.” As her daughters got older, they joined the business.
Wagner hired her first employee 15 years ago and now employs a staff of 11.

In varsity football, the Northern H.S. gridders travel to Greencastle- Antrim H.S. this Friday night, Sept. 29, in a Colonial Division skirmish. The Polar Bears fell to 1-4 overall and 0-2 in the league last week after getting edged by Waynesboro, 29-28. The Indians improved to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in the Colonial.
For Northern, a series of early miscues and bad breaks saw Waynesboro tally 21 unanswered first quarter points. The host Polar Bears fought gamely though, and answered with 21 points of their own to make it a tie game heading into halftime. Cole Bartram scored the first TD followed by a blocked punt and then fumble recovery score by Magarrin Macke. Bartram scored again at 4:14 in the second quarter when he found 30 yards of daylight. Anna Lehman’s extra point made it 21-21. Midway through the third quarter, Bartram’s 13-yard
TD run and Lehman’s extra point put the hosts ahead 28-21. Tim Gunning was the snapper and Ty Witmer the place holder on the extra points. At 5:55 in the fourth quarter, the Indians’ Rayshawn Hewitt rolled left and found Hayden Nolan open for a touchdown.
The visitors decided to go for the two-point conversion with a Hewitt to Tank Benedict pass that made it 29-28. Northern could not respond and Waynesboro took possession and ran out the clock for victory. Grady Bonin was 5-of-13 for 86 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also had eight totes for 35 yards. Bartram had another yeoman’s night with 29 carries for 188 yards and two touchdowns. For the receiving corps, Jake Bechtel had three receptions for 48 yards and a TD. Jake Kazakavich added one reception for 39 yards.
