Remembering Sgt. Christopher M. Wrinkle and Tosca during bridge dedication ceremony

Family, friends, veterans and fellow patriots came together on Thursday as we unveiled the Sgt. Christopher M. Wrinkle and Tosca Memorial Bridge in Dallastown.

The community support was incredible for this much-needed tribute for a local fallen Marine who embodied what it meant to be a York Countian.

You can watch the dedication ceremony below.

10/3/19 – Dedication of Sgt. Christopher M. Wrinkle and Tosca Memorial Bridge

The bridge carrying the Iron Stone Hill Road over the East Branch Codorus Creek is now dedicated to Sgt. Wrinkle and Tosca’s honor.

You can view photos from the event here.

Congratulations to Brian Romig – York County’s newest Eagle Scout!

Congratulations to Brian Michael Romig II of Troop 27 in Stewartstown on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout! It was an honor to present him with a citation from the Senate of Pennsylvania.

Brian, the son of Brian Romig and Amy Zentz, constructed bluebird houses and installed them on the grounds of the Stewartstown Fairgrounds in partnership with Hopewell Area Recreation & Parks. Well done, Brian! 

Kidspace to provide community with educational opportunities

Last Friday, I joined local leaders to break ground on the new Keystone Kidspace, located in the former York Armory building. This new learning center will provide the community with over 13,000 square feet of playing and learning space with a focus on art, science, technology and engineering.

Celebrating new coffee shop in East York

I recently celebrated the grand opening of Belmont Bean Co., which cut the ribbon on their new facility in East York.

Rep. Carol Hill-Evans and I were honored to participate in the festivities, which is significant for the rehabilitation of various blighted properties throughout East York. If you’re ever in the area, please stop by for some “wicked good coffee!” Welcome to the community!

Red Lion Lion’s Club celebrates 95 years

Last weekend, I had the privilege of presenting a congratulatory citation from the Senate of Pennsylvania to the Red Lion Lions Club to celebrate their 95th anniversary.

The Red Lion Lions Club was the first civic service organization in the community, and formed back on January 2, 1924. The first meeting was held at the Red Lion Opera House and the club’s first major undertaking was to assist Chief Burgess Haines in the organization of a curb market, which still remains to this day.

It is incredible to see the contributions of nearly a century of the Red Lion Lions Club. Congratulations!

I am pictured here presenting a congratulatory citation from the Senate of Pennsylvania to Lion President Dr. Scott Deisley.

Seniors should remain vigilant in latest identity theft scam


York County seniors and caregivers should be aware of a new scam offering DNA testing and seeking personal Medicare information purportedly to cover the costs. This actually provides an opening for identity theft, fraudulent billing and more.

The United States Office of Inspector General and United States Department of Health and Human Services have some tips on what to look for in order to avoid this scam. You can read their tips here. 

Dallastown 8th grade students tour state Capitol 

In between meetings at the Capitol on Wednesday, I had the opportunity to meet several Dallastown Area Middle School 8th grade students who were in Harrisburg on a field trip.

I got to spend a few minutes with them and answer questions about my job.

It’s always a pleasure meeting students both in Harrisburg and in the district. If you are planning to visit the state Capitol, please feel free to contact my office to set up a tour.
