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.
