EDGEWOODBook Sale The library book sale will be kicked off with a preview party for Edgewood residents and their guests on Friday, March 11 from 7 - 9p.m. in the Edgewood Club Ballroom.

The Edgewood Foundation present-ed C.C. Mellor Board PresidentThomas Herwerd with its annualWilliam D. Limpert Award forCommunity Service at the town meet-ing in February.

Mary Limpert, 2003 recipient of theaward, introduced Tom, saying, “Thereare many factors that contribute to mak-ing Edgewood a desirable place to liveand to raise our families. One of thesefactors that is considered invaluable toboth new and long-time residents alikeis our own C.C. Mellor Library. The recentrenovations and redesign of space haveraised the library to a new level of quali-ty – one that each of us is proud of; onethat has benefited all of us.

“The raising of funds necessary, theunderstanding of federal, state andlocal standards and codes, the over-seeing of the renovation process are allpart of a long, time consuming taskthat this man has willingly taken on.The many decisions, one in particularof eliminating the bowling alley toconvert it into the new children’slibrary, could not have come easily orwithout objections from some.

“A project as large as this can only suc-ceed through the dedication of many indi-viduals, yet typically there is one individ-ual who has the vision and determinationto carry the project to its completion. Thisman, this year, is Thomas Herwerd.”

The Foundation also recognizedoutgoing president Lois Winslow andoutgoing treasurer and board memberWolf Goerthert for their contributionsto the community.

Mayor Jean Davin and Borough Coun-cil President Mitchell Brourman gave theirtraditional “State of the Borough” address-es. There was also open discussion onbeautification of the borough that includ-ed a presentation by Marijke Hecht of theNine Mile Run Watershed Association. Forreports on these presentations, see pages6 and 7 of this newsletter.

breathing apparatus) breathing tanksare now in service. The tanks andmasks now bring the department intoNFPA compliance making all fire fight-ers safer. These are items that we buyand hope we never have to use them.

Rapid Intervention TeamI have attended a meeting in regard

to EFD becoming part of the EasternArea Rapid Intervention Team. This isa team of firefighters who rescue otherfirefighters. This group is in its infantstage and by all indications will growrapidly. Teams of this nature are inplace in the South and North Hillsalready. Seeing that we are membersof the East Boroughs Fire Association,this will be yet another branch of thefirefighters helping firefighters in theeast. The bottom line is if you’re look-ing for adventure, now is the time tojoin the department.

At the annual town meeting spon-sored by the Edgewood Foundation,Edgewood Mayor Jean Davin present-ed information from the EdgewoodPolice Department’s 2004 annualreport, prepared by Police Chief PaulL. Wood.

Mayor Davin announced that a newfull-time officer will be hired by May,bringing the full-time force up to 10.

She said that while the total numberof crimes in 2004 was up, the numberof Part I crimes, the more seriouscrimes such as homicide, rape, rob-bery, aggravated assault and motorvehicle theft, was down from 338 in2003 to 328 in 2004.

Mayor Davin also discussed theincrease in training for Edgewoodpolice officers. “We get our officers asmuch training as possible,” she said.“Some of the training programs theyattend are mandated, but many arenot.”

She said that Chief Wood will beholding a third annual public safety

town meeting later this year. A secondcitizen’s police academy is startingearly this month, and enrollment isincreased over the first academy.

Complete copies of the chief’sreport are available at the boroughbuilding.

Borough Council President MitchellBrourman also presented a report atthe town meeting, reporting onprogress the council made in 2004 andplans for 2005.

Brourman said that the council isespecially optimistic because key staffpositions are filled. Staff turnovers havebeen a challenge in the past, he said.

He also pointed to the renegotiatedpolice and garbage contracts,improved health care, and the parkingordinance as achievements of the pastyear. “A lot of what we spoke aboutat last year’s meeting actually gotdone,” he said. “That’s reason to beeven more optimistic this year.”

Plans for 2005 include continuing topave the borough parking lots, finish-ing the exterior work on Koenig FieldHouse, and working on sewer andother infrastructure improvements.

In spite of an increase in the cost ofrefuse collection, borough taxesremain at 6.661 mils.

Brourman, a 15-year resident of theborough, described his role on coun-cil: “I’m just your neighbor,” he said.“I’m concerned about all the samethings you’re concerned about.” Heencouraged residents to consider run-ning for council, as several seats willbe open in 2006.

He also praised those who haveworked as volunteers for the good ofthe community. “This is a special placeto live,” he said, “largely due to thefamiliar faces, the people who volun-teer for things. We’re well served by astable corps of great volunteers whoserve on boards, committees, commis-sions, and the Edgewood VolunteerFire Department.”

Brourman also discussed the suc-cess of the borough’s recycling pro-gram. The borough receives a rebatefrom the state based on the weight ofthe recyclables collected. Because ofthis income, the borough is planningto start a newspaper and telephonebook recycling program later this year.

He also said that the council is opti-mistic about the future of EdgewoodTowne Centre. The center is undernew ownership, and a Busy Beaverstore is expected to open April 1.
