Rescheduled David Brain event on October 6th at the Lancaster Campus of HACC, 7:00 p.m.

This is the program that was postponed from August due to the weather conditions in Florida. We hope you can attend in October. Whether you had previously RSVP's or not, please do so again if you plan on attending. We do not want to assume that everyone who originally contacted us will automatically attend this time.

Thanks, and please call me, Donna Hahn, at 717-299-8333 if you have any questions or wish to RSVP. If you have RSVP'd since the cancelation, no need to do so again.

Help support your neighbors who are speaking out against
“The Crossings at Conestoga Creek”
The shopping center across from Long’s Park

Here's what we need to do...

Go to your calendar for Tuesday August 21st, Wednesday September 12th, and Tuesday September 25th. Sometime between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM on those days, write the ONE-HOUR you will commit to attend the Manheim Township Commissioners’ Meetings. Let’s make it a goal that every resident of Lancaster County join their fellow neighbors of Manheim and East Hempfield Township neighborhoods and “spend ONE HOUR” of that one day with the one purpose to Expand Long’s Park and in opposition to the shopping center. Let’s keep the room packed all night with neighbors coming and going!

Manheim Township Commissioners Meeting

"(editor's note: Ray Shaw stepped up to the plate and deserves props for doing so. 5thEstate.com will continue to watch if coverage of the newspaper's business partner is ratcheted up a notch!)

Intel editor Ray Shaw sent an apology letter to the citizen's lawyer! No excuse - full responsibility - full mia culpa!..."

"Also uncovered in the hearings was a letter dated August 29, 2006, which is signed by Manheim Township manager Jim Martin on behalf of the Manheim Township Municipal Authority.
