The 15 Forest Meadows children, ranging from 5 to 10, are having a yard sale to sell toys, clothes and other items for James Wilson Safe Harbour, which offers a temporary home to people who might otherwise be homeless. The garage sale will start at 7 a.m. and will end about noon in Mallios' driveway at 59 Strayer Drive, which is off Rock Ledge Drive just south of Carlisle in South Middleton Township. Area pools to open Area swimming areas will be available to provide relief from the heat starting Saturday. Many pools and state parks are open for the three-day Memorial Day weekend, then will close down until the following weekend or until school lets out. Swimming in state park lakes is usually free, while pools charge admission.
Prices depend on age and, at some pools, residency.
Piezo expansion plans revised Piezo Crystal has adjusted its schedule for an expansion expected to create jobs at its K Street plant in Carlisle. The borough planning commission Thursday recommended approval of Piezo's plans to carry out the expansion in two phases rather than one. That section had been scheduled for demolition. Phase 1 also is to include construction of 204 off-street parking spaces and closing of a driveway at the northwest corner of the property. And a total of 261 off-street parking places will be available by the end of phase two.
