Eagle Scout Projects with Shrewsbury Volunteers

 Tony Myers    February 7, 2021    No Comments

Shrewsbury Volunteers have a rich history with the Boy Scout of America.  We have supported Troop 90 in Shrewsbury as well as a few others for decades.  Our membership have multiple Eagle Scouts in the ranks and we are very proud of all of them.

Recently, two Eagle Scout projects were completed with Shrewsbury Volunteers that have been a positive influence on our ability to function.  Project 1 was a firefighter gear dryer.  Our members, after coming back from a fire, are required to wash all of their firefighting gear to reduce the chance of cancer.  We have had washing machines for this for over 18 years.  The members would have to hang the gear on racks to air dry them which took a day or two.  Then they could put the gear back together and use it.  Well, now we can have the gear dry in a matter of hours thanks to a gear dryer built by Prospective Eagle Scout Michael Fisher.  He approached us and asked if he could build it for us.  We thought about it (took about 3 seconds) and said yep!!  Thank you Michael for the work and the very useful device.

 

Well, not so fast!! Project #2  was completed for us and just in time for our December  “Santa in the Community” detail.  In years past Shrewsbury Volunteers has always taken that jolly ‘ole elf Santa around our first due district in the fire truck for all to see.  Santa would wave and shout out and interact with the community.  Sometimes he was hard to see while inside the apparatus.  Well, step in Prospective Eagle Scout Anthony Newberry.  Anthony approached the department and asked if we would be interested in having a sleigh constructed so Santa could be more visible to all who enjoyed him.  Uh, yep!  Another 3 seconds (you shouldn’t rush to decisions you know..) and we said yes!  The sleigh design was drawn up, reviewed several times with adjustments, and finally built and delivered.  The 2020 Santa run debuted Sleigh 61 and it was a huge success.  Thank you Anthony for another Eagle Scout project that benefited Shrewsbury Volunteers and the community.

 

Shrewsbury Volunteers wishes both of our Prospective Eagle Scouts the best of luck in the future.  We are blessed to have been recipients of multiple Eagle Scout projects in the past and look forward to working with the Boy Scouts of American and future Eagle Scouts.

TRAVEL ADVISORY UPDATE FOR WORK ON MARCH 16-17

March 2, 2021



Beam Setting Planned on I-83 Bridge Over Route 851 at Exit 4 in Southern York County

Delays expected on Route 851



Harrisburg, PA – Motorists in southern York County are advised a PennDOT contractor is scheduled to set beams on the Interstate 83 bridge spanning Route 851 at Exit 4 in Shrewsbury Township.



On Tuesday March 16, and Wednesday, March 17, conditions permitting, the contractor will set beams for the I-83 bridge over Route 851. There will be intermittent traffic stoppages of up to 15 minutes on Route 851 from 9 AM to 2 PM so beams can be set. Motorists should expect delays.



Beams also will be set on a second span that is not over live traffic, so there will be no traffic restrictions.



These beams are for the final stage of the bridge work. While there will be no traffic restrictions on I-83 during these operations, motorists should be alert for construction vehicles entering and exiting the work zone on I-83.



This work is part of a $29.9 million Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) construction contract awarded to Kinsley Construction, Inc. of the City of York, York County. The project includes replacement of the northbound and southbound bridges that carry I-83 over Route 851 with two-span structures that will allow enough clearance for Route 851 to be widened to four lanes and realigned into the DDI configuration. Work under this contract will also lengthen and reconstruct the on and off ramps within the interchange and replace the culvert that carries Deer Creek beneath the interchange.



Travelers are reminded to be alert for these operations, to obey work zone signs, and to use caution when driving through work zones for their safety, as well as for the safety of the road crews.



For more information on projects occurring or being bid this year, those made possible by or accelerated by the state transportation funding plan (Act 89), or those on the department’s Four and Twelve Year Plans, visit www.projects.penndot.gov.



Subscribe to PennDOT news in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and York counties at www.penndot.gov/District8.



Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras, 103 of which are in the Midstate.



511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
