A single-session class about installing and operating household rain barrels will be held on Tuesday, March 23 beginning at 7:00 PM in the Cranberry Township Municipal Center. The class, which carries a registration fee of $30, includes a rain barrel which each participant is invited to take home and install. The selling price for a rain barrel is normally around $100. However funds collected by Haine Middle School students in Cranberry and Seven Fields are subsidizing their distribution to everyone enrolled in the class. Registration is limited to residents of those two communities, and is capped at 30 participants.

The lights outside of Cranberry Township’s Municipal Center will be darkened for one hour beginning at 8:30 on Saturday evening, March 27, in observance of Earth Hour. Earth Hour is an initiative of the World Wildlife Fund in which individuals, schools, organizations, businesses and governments turn off their lights for one hour to symbolize their dedication to energy conservation. Organizers have been particularly interested in securing participation by iconic landmarks whose darkness would be immediately noticed. Last year these included the Empire State Building, Broadway Theater Marquees, the Las Vegas Strip, the Seattle Space needle, the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, and the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Cranberry comprehensive plan, adopted in April of last year, places a strong emphasis on resource conservation as a component of community sustainability. The Township’s observance of Earth Hour symbolizes its commitment to that principle. Lights inside the Municipal Center will remain on throughout the hour-long observance and regularly scheduled activities will continue there as usual.
As an historically homogeneous community, that question was seldom asked – until recently. But the arrival of Westinghouse Electric Company in Cranberry Woods, and the global trade that its business represents, underscore the importance of making the Township more welcoming and accessible to visitors and new residents from other countries. To find out what its new residents are experiencing and how the Township can do a better job of serving them, a one-time focus group for new arrivals to the Cranberry area will be held on Monday evening, March 29, from 6:30 to 8:00 in the Cranberry Public Library meeting room. The group will focus on improving the experience of new arrivals from outside the United States. Already, the Township has taken steps to make the Cranberry experience more comfortable by preparing translations of many Township communications into languages other than English. But local officials want to make sure that the overall experience of new arrivals is a positive one and they are eager to learn about their early experiences in the Township. All new residents to Cranberry are invited to participate; those arriving from overseas locations are particularly welcome, and light refreshments will be served. Call 724-776-4806 x 1020 to let the Township staff know you’re coming, to share your thoughts, and to help improve Cranberry customer service.
The Cranberry Twp. Volunteer Fire Company urges everyone to change smoke alarm batteries regularly. An easy way to remember is to change the batteries when changing clocks in the spring and fall. Replace old batteries with fresh, high-quality batteries to keep your smoke alarms ready to protect you all year long. Then, test each alarm.
