Great Day! Thanks to all who made it possible. I'm sure Joanne Ackerman will complain about the use of the park at the next commissioners meeting. Just ignore it.   more ›

Rowdy Basketball Players Curse, Urinate in Green Acres Park, Neighbors Say

Salisbury Township Commissioner Joanne Ackerman says noise level of basketball players is out of control at Green Acres Park.

Salisbury Township Commissioner Joanne Ackerman recently answered a knock on her door to find a 9-year-old girl who handed her a letter. The letter described how the girl and her mother riding bicycles past Green Acres Park felt uncomfortable because of loud screaming and cursing from the basketball players on the park’s courts. Ackerman read the letter aloud at at last week's commissioners meeting. “When I was riding with my mom I got scared right away so we went riding somewhere else,” the girl wrote. “When I got home I started to cry.” Ackerman, who lives next to the park, said other neighbors have also complained about the noise level.

Salisbury Composting Workshop Teaches How to Recycle Grass Clippings

Learn how to make free garden fertilizer out of throw-away materials.

Salisbury Township hopes to save $30,000 per year by eliminating curbside grass clippings pickup.

Salisbury residents Jane and Michael Benning have long been recycling the grass clippings and other plant wastes from their one-acre lot into compost that enriches their flower beds, lawn and small vegetable garden. Leaves from their backyard trees, kitchen wastes such as fruit and vegetable trimmings, dead flowers, weeds, twigs and even egg shells—all are compost pile candidates. “We only throw out about one small plastic shopping bag of garbage a week, and most of that is packaging we can’t avoid. We …

Grilling and Illegal Parking Out of Control in Green Acres Park, Salisbury Commissioner Says

Commissioner Joanne Ackerman says makeshift grills and illegal parking are "getting out of hand."

Visitors to Green Acres Park are cooking on makeshift grills and parking illegally, according to Salisbury Township Board of Commmissioner Joanne Ackerman. “It is literally tearing the neighborhood apart,” Ackerman told the board at its Thursday meeting. Ackerman lives near the park.  “This is really getting out of hand.” Ackerman said the problems have been ongoing for years. She said a large group of people converged at the park’s pavilion for a party on June 4. Approximately 60 to 80 visitors parked their cars illegally and created a possible fire hazard by using two charcoals grills, made out of half-barrels, placed under evergreen trees, Ackerman said.  She said she is concerned problems will get worse this summer if nothing is done. …
