Hanover Township Director of Administration Ryan P. Kish was presented with a Major Award by Public Works Director Vince Milite during the March 10 supervisors' meeting. Kish was presented with a plaque and handshake for "satisfactory completion of snow operations" during some recent storms.

Milite was in a bind because his road crew was two men short, when Manager Jay Finnigan volunteered Kish to hit the road, plowing away in his wing tips.

"No mailboxes were knocked down," reported Finnigan.

Kish, who had never driven anything larger than a Volkswagon, was still quite elated.

"Kids waved at me. Adults, too!" he gushed.

"Are you sure that was waving?" Milite asked.

Milite told supervisors that this year the township spent $125,428.74 for snow removal operations on the township's 63 miles of roads. That's significantly less than the $180,385 spent last year. The primary reason for the lower figure is that gas and diesel fuel is significantly cheaper this year.
