Please Remove All Vehicles to Allow the Snowplows to Clear the Streets

To ensure the safety and efficiency of snow removal operations, please remove all vehicles, basketball hoops, and any other items from the street by the end of the day. This will allow the snowplows to clear the streets properly and help prevent any damage to property. Vehicles not removed from roadways may be towed. 

§ 171-28Designation of snow emergency no-parking areas.
[Amended 12-14-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-10]
A. 
Whenever snow has fallen or ice has formed on a road surface and the accumulation is such that it covers a street or highway, an emergency shall be deemed to exist and no vehicle shall be parked on any streets in the Borough, whether paved or unpaved, or portion thereof.
B. 
The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed or sufficiently treated to the extent that parking will not interfere with snow removal, roadway treatment operations, or the normal flow of traffic.

Tips for a Less Stressful Snow Event

Pine Hill Residents, please review the following regarding the upcoming snow storm:

– REMOVE ALL PARKED VEHICLES and/or TRAILERS from the roadways so streets can be plowed.

– Stay off the roadways during and shortly after the snow stops to allow plow and salt trucks to clear the roadways.

– If you must drive to work, give yourself extra time to travel safely. Completely clear off ALL the snow from your vehicle, including the roof.

– If you live near a fire hydrant, please remove the snow from the front, back and sides of it to allow the fire department to quickly locate them.

Cybersecurity Essentials Every Modern Law Firm Should Have

Law firms hold a rare combination of information. Financial records, contracts, trade secrets, personal details, and occasionally messages people hope never appear on a projector screen. To a cybercriminal, this looks less like data and more like opportunity. Smaller firms sometimes assume they fly under the radar. In reality, they often look easier to approach.

Modern cybersecurity for a law firm needing IT services is less about paranoia and more about preparation. Most breaches do not involve movie-style hacking scenes. They begin with a simple email, a reused password, or a distracted click at the wrong moment. Preventing these problems relies on habits supported by technology rather than heroic last-minute reactions.

Ohio SERS Benefits: What School Employees Should Know

The School Employees Retirement System, better known as SERS, exists specifically for non-teaching public school employees in Ohio. That means the cafeteria workers, bus drivers, custodians, paraprofessionals, and administrative staff who keep schools running every day. If someone works for an Ohio public school district and is not a teacher or administrator covered under STRS, there is a good chance they fall under SERS.

SERS is a defined benefit plan, which is a meaningful distinction. Employees do not have to manage investments on their own or worry about market swings eating away at their retirement. The system calculates benefits based on years of service and a member’s final average salary, offering a predictable monthly payment upon retirement.
