Township Awards 6 Community Assistance Grants

In 2013, Warminster Township allotted $7,500 to give back to the community through the Department of Parks and Recreation's community assistance grants.

The new year brings no change to the Warminster Township Board of Supervisors, as all will remain in their currently appointed posts. At its annual reorganization meeting, members of the board voted to retain Leo Quinn as board chairman, Tom Panzer as vice chairman, and Frank Feinberg as Treasurer. Following the nominations, Quinn took asked for a moment to "reflect on 2012 before kicking off 2013." Quinn noted that while the nation faced financial problems in the new year, Warminster was not dealing with any kind of fiscal cliff.

Supervisors Select Candidate to Fill Open Seat

Lifelong Warminster resident Dan McPhillips was chosen from a field of 13 applicants.

With a 3-1 vote, the Warminster Board of Supervisors chose longtime township resident Dan McPhillips to fill the seat left open by Ellen Jarvis' resignation. McPhillips will be sworn into office at the next scheduled supervisors meeting on April 5, and he will serve out the remainder of Jarvis' term, which ends in 2013. McPhillips was one of 13 candidates to apply for the open seat. His experience on several township boards and committees was one of the main reasons for his selection, according to Supervisor Tom Panzer, who made the nomination. "I'm very happy and very eager to get to work," said McPhillips. "I'm really pleased that the board expressed their confidence in my abilities." McPhillips will join his fellow Republicans, Panzer, …

Warminster Candidates Ramp Up Campaigns as Election Day Gets Closer

Both parties strive to overcome the normally low voter turnouts during off-year elections.

It's hard to ignore the increasing number of roadside signs along the major roads throughout Warminster as the Nov. 8 Election Day looms in the near future. For candidates on both sides of the local ticket, the challenge with less than a month to go is simply raising awareness of the campaign. Voter turnout is notoriously lower during years without any major national campaigns or referendums to draw out the electorate. "We've been walking the neighborhoods and knocking on doors," said Mark McKee, Republican candidate for the Warminster Board of Supervisors, "and we've met a lot of people who don't even know there's a race." McKee will face Democratic candidate Jim Scott for the chance to fill the seat being vacated by outgoing supervisor …

Thank you to these firefighters for doing a wonderful job and saving lives! I applaud ShopRite and the Cowhey family for honoring these firefighters and showing their support for our community. Volunteering is a very kind thing to do and I believe it's done out of the goodness of one's heart but it's also nice that ShopRite has shown their appreciation for these brave men. If more people showed …   more ›
