Center.

SPEED LIMIT 25 MPH
After
reviewing a study to determine a safe speed to travel MacCubbins Road, the
Supervisors decided to post the road with 25 MPH speed limit signs. This follows
a project completed to regrade and resurface the roadway. Apparently some
residents are concerned that the new smooth road surface will be considered an
invitation to some to drive faster on the road.

WEST NILE VIRUS IN WAYNE
COUNTY
There have been some cases of
human infection with the West Nile Virus in Wayne County. There have been none
reported in Damascus Township. There is no cause for alarm, according to the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. It is recommended that
people should eliminate standing water, and avoid being the outdoors at dawn and
dusk when mosquitoes are most active. If you can't avoid the outdoors, use
insect repellent containing DEET to minimize the chance of being
bitten.
If a mosquito stings you, the chances
are very slight that you will contract the virus, but if you experience flu-like
symptoms, you are advised to contact your
doctor.
A great deal of information is
available about the West Nile Virus from many sources. Click HERE
