Maytown East Donegal Township Fire Department Chief

 Named “Trooper of the Year”

On March 30, 2012 the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) named Sergeant Adam Kosheba of the Pennsylvania Police as the IACP/Motorola Solutions 2011 Trooper of the Year. The IACP, one of the world's oldest and largest associations of law enforcement professional organizations, awards the honor of Trooper of the Year to those law enforcement officers who tirelessly serve their communities, sometimes at great risk to themselves.  Sergeant Kosheba was chosen from four finalists among state and provincial law enforcement agencies of the United States and Canada for this honor.

Although a full-time Pennsylvania State Police Trooper, Adam may be best known to most of us in the community as the Chief of the Maytown East Donegal Township Fire Department.  Since joining the Department in 1994, Adam quickly moved through the ranks of the Department and was selected Chief in 1997.  He has continued to serve the community in that capacity.

In addition to his professional and volunteer obligations, Adam, an Elizabethtown College graduate, is currently enrolled at Wilmington University pursing a Masters Degree in the Administration of Justice

The Township Board of Supervisors wish to congratulate Chief Kosheba for receiving such a prestigious award and thank him for is commitment to the Maytown East Donegal Township Fire Department.

Compost Workshop Proves To Be Extremely Informative

 

A group of Township residents gathered at the pavilion at Fuhrman Park to hear Penn State-trained Master Gardener Ray Leiby provide tips on home composting.  Held in cooperation with the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority, the workshop taught participants how to recycle organic waste from their kitchens and gardens instead of putting it in the trash. Composting is an excellent way to recycle vegetable scraps, grass clippings, leaves, and other organic materials and turn them into a useful and valuable product to naturally improve the soil.
