Linglestown Hump Day News ‘N Notes

CD schools … Central Dauphin school board member Christian Malesic was back in the news today. The Patriot-News published an op-ed piece that he penned on why he believes the proposed 3 percent budget increase for Dauphin County Technical School is too high. There’s no doubt where Malesic is on the political spectrum – he used the word “conservatives” five times in the article.

Government watchdog … Lower Paxton Township supervisors tabled a request for a zoning map change Tuesday night for the Sportsman’s Golf Course after citizens asked for additional time to review the proposal. The landowners, Boyd Mahoney Partnership, hope to construct a senior age-restricted housing development, along with a mix of other types of housing, on the course and adjoining land. If constructed, the project would include building a street to connect Continental Drive in Susquehanna and Lower Paxton townships.

CD Sports … On the diamond, Billy Felo went 4-for-4 with three RBIs and Nate Shroy fashioned four credible innings to hoist Central Dauphin over Carlisle 14-2. Sam Nott chipped in two hits, including a home run, for the Rams, who took advantage of three Herd errors in a seven-run fourth. … In boys’ volleyball, Central Dauphin kicked off its Commonwealth title defense with a 3-1 victory over Cedar Cliff. Nick Sheleman paced the Rams attack with 17 kills, four digs and two aces. … Moving to softball, Kiersten Darhower pitched an 11-inning complete game, and Sara Romano delivered a game-winning, two-run double in the 11th as Central Dauphin beat Carlisle 4-3.
