Three of the cases have gone as far as the U.S. Supreme Court, to no avail, Schorpp says. Barrett insisted the district's rules governing property renovation violated his property rights, and one of his cases sought to dismantle the historic district itself. Cumberland County Judge Edgar Bayley recently ordered Barrett to repay the borough's costs of fighting the appeals in court. A March 27 arson fire swept through three of the 11 properties at 134-138 E. High St., the day after the high court decided not to hear Barrett's appeal of a Bayley order putting the Cumberland County Redevelopment Authority in charge of repairing the properties. After the fire, the borough determined the houses can not be salvaged and ordered Barrett to demolish them.
Police have yet to make any arrests in the case.
Baughman became involved with the Red Cross after hearing a speaker discuss what the organization does. I'm helping people in their time of need. He has held fund-raisers at the high school as well as at the Loysville Community Center. Baughman was chosen as one of this year's Jefferson Award winners for public service and will be honored tonight in York. One of Baughman's biggest fund-raisers is an annual bottled water sale at the Ickesburg Carnival in July.
