Boy Scout Troop 248 thanks the residents and businesses
who contributed to Eagle Scout candidate Peter Cochran’s Eagle
Service Project: the purchase of an AED unit, Automated
External Defibrillator, which was installed on the front wall of the
meeting hall at the Oakdale Community Center.
An AED unit is a portable electronic device that is used in
cases of life threating cardiac arrhythmias.
The AED units can cost up to $2,000. As a result of so many
community donations, the AED unit was purchased and
installed at no cost to the borough.
Pennsylvania recently passed new laws and regulations that
heighten the state’s and landfill industry’s enthusiasm to
protecting the environment. This new legislation has come about
in several phases-in periods over the past two years. In January
2013 the final segment will come into law – banning electronic
waste (e-Waste) for being disposed of in municipal landfills.
As a result, North Fayette Township will no longer collect the
banned materials from residents effective January 1, 2013. For
