MANY THANKS!

I would like to take this time to thank an unsung hero of Shiremanstown.   Joan Runkle has been supplying our town with the beautiful potted plants that you see on our Main Street.  What once was a labor of love from the Shiremanstown Historical Society, has now become one individual’s gift to our borough.  Joan not only purchases the flowers, but she plants them and waters them too!  If you see Joan out and about, please take the time to thank her for her dedication.

If you would like to help Joan with caring for the plants, you can reach her at  [email protected].

Joan, the Borough Council and I would like to let you know how much your dedication and kindness touches us!
Mayor Tammie G. Dailey

Leap-year Baby!  

The Borough joins in congratulating Cody and Beverly Pitcher-Johnson on the birth of their daughter, Lillian Claire Pitcher-Johnson.  In addition to being possibly the first Leap Year baby for the Borough (only one in 1,461 are born on February 29th), Lillian surprised her doctors, first responders, and certainly her parents when she made her entrance two weeks early in their Shiremanstown home.

Beverly experienced discomfort earlier in the morning of February 29 and called her doctors who advised she follow a soft diet.  However, when Cody returned home with the prescribed food, he found his wife in active labor and quickly called the Cumberland County Dispatch.  Labor had progressed to the point that while responders were on their way to the East Green Street home, Dispatch talked Cody through the delivery process until  Hampden EMS arrived and successfully completed the delivery of a 6 lb. 15 oz. baby girl at 12:25 PM.  They then took Beverly and their new-born daughter to UPMC to ensure their well-being.  There, Lillian was rushed to the NICU and Beverly was taken for assessment by her medical team.  Cody was briefly frustrated as he waited for news on the health of his wife and daughter; however, as reports of both a healthy Mom and Baby were given,  anxiety turned to joy for this young family.  UPMC appropriately dressed Claire in a hand-knitted kangaroo hat and presented the proud parents with an official Leapling Certificate.

The Pitcher-Johnsons express appreciation to all who made the birth  and homecoming of Lillian a truly extraordinary event.

If you have taken a walk down Main Street recently, you may have noticed that our Fire Company has a new look along the west side of the building.  The Fire Company had given the Mayor permission to landscape the area.  She had donated roses, hydrangeas and small shrubs for its beautification.  Mayor Dailey and her husband Ed had also purchased mulch to keep the moisture around the new plantings to help them survive.  They were able to plant the small shrubs, but found the task somewhat physically daunting.

Along come the heroes: Dave Dyson of the Bible Baptist Church had approached Mayor Dailey and asked if there was anything the Church could do to assist our Community.  What a perfect match since Mayor Dailey and her husband were unable to physically partake in the planting of the shrubs and in particular the removal of the grass along the building.  Dave and Jill Dyson, along with their team, cleared the grass and planted the shrubs.  It was amazing how quickly they worked in unison to accomplish the task.  It took approximately an hour and a half on October 8 to turn a blank brick wall into a work of beauty.  While we were working, our mail carrier walked by and admired the transformation.

The Borough of Shiremanstown would like to thank the Bible Baptist Church for their time and expertise in transforming the side of our Firehouse.  We appreciate their dedication to our small community.  Our thanks go out to Dave and Jill Dyson, along with Pastor Bryan Sanders, Mike Feehan, Linda Lehigh and Scott, Lauralie & Tyler Brock.

The Bible Baptist Church would like to extend their assistance to others in our Community who might need their help.  Please contact the church office at (717) 763-6040.
