(But, then again, this is Erie and anything is possible in February and March). It seems we are inching closer to warmer days and spring weather, which tends to increase the activity in the Township. This issue of IN Millcreek will give you a glimpse of some of our exciting planned events along with some interesting articles. Our cover featured article will give you insight into the problems facing our Ash trees, and steps we have in place for the Emerald Ash Borer. The Emerald Ash Borer is a non-native, invasive insect that attacks Ash Trees. Included in this interesting reading is information about our recent tree inventory and some preliminary results. In 2018, Millcreek saw some veteran employees retire and new employees become part of the team. We wish our retirees a relaxing and enjoyable retirement, while welcoming others into the Millcreek Township family. Public services along with Lifeworks/LECOM have many programs lined up. There is monthly healthcare screening dates provided and information on the Property Tax/Rent Rebate, along with many more exciting events. Spring, of course, brings the reopening on the Millfair Compost Center on March 18th and notice of our 50% Kick-Off the Season Sale Event. Recycling has more information on Millfair along with our annual Spring Cleanup event. Check out articles focusing on how to keep animals out of your trash and instructions for submitting pictures to the Photography Showcase for the 2020 Millcreek Township Calendar. Be sure to find out Emergency Management’s top 5 “Shockingly Simple Spring Tips”. Also, our Millcreek Township Police Department always has some helpful safety tips, and this issue is no exception. Check out their article on child safety in vehicles with the upcoming hot weather. It won’t be long until we pull out the sunscreen and enjoy the lazy days of summer. Until then, enjoy all Millcreek Township has to offer this beautiful spring season! John Groh, John Morgan, Jim Bock
