Assistance Dogs Provide Important Services While dogs have long been thought of as “man’s best friend,” some canines are tasked with duties that go beyond friendship.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. According to www.ada.gov, “Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties.”

The ADA requirements also state, “The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly See Assistance Dogs pg 3

WWII Roundtable To Meet Québécois Band On Thursday, March 7, at 7 p.m., Mae Krier will share her wartime experiences at the monthly meeting of the Central Pennsylvania World War II Roundtable. The meeting will take place at Grace United Methodist Church (UMC), 433 E. Main St., Hummelstown.

Krier was one of the female workers known as “Rosie the Riveters,” a term first used in a 1942 song that described a tireless assembly line worker. Later, the combination of Norman Rockwell’s cover painting for The Saturday Evening Post and the iconic “We Can Do It!” poster elevated “Rosie” to symbolize women’s significant role in the production of aircraft, ships, and munitions.

During World War II, Krier, just out of high school, decided to leave North Dakota and go to the West Coast for the summer with her sister and her best friend to join millions of other Ameri-

can women who entered the labor force during the war. After arriving in Seattle, Krier began a two-year stint at Boeing Aircraft, producing B-17 and B29 bombers. Per a Senate resolution, March 21, 2017, was designated as the first-ever National Rosie the Riveter Day. The Central Pennsylvania WWII Roundtable is a nonprofit organization that provides a forum for WWII veterans, authors, historians, and citizens to share their knowledge and experiences related to the war. Meetings, held the first Thursday of every month, begin at 7 p.m. at Grace UMC. Anyone with an interest in WWII is invited to attend the meetings. There are no membership or admission fees.

Community Events

Assistance Dogs from pg 1 related to the person’s disability.

Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.” Under the ADA, state and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go.

Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices.

According to guidelines posted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), when community members encounter a service dog, individuals should not touch the service animal - or the person it assists - without permission.

DHS also cautions against making noises at the service animal and feeding the animal, as both actions may distract and disrupt the animal from its job.

Etiquette guidelines shared by Guide Dog Foundation on its website at www.guidedog.org also

remind individuals that guide dogs and service dogs are not pets and should be given the respect of a working dog. The foundation notes that community members should allow the dog to concentrate and perform for the safety of his handler. Because service animals are trained to help the person they serve, distracting them may keep them from focusing on their job, which could be dangerous or even life-threatening for the person they assist.

Community members who have pets with them should prevent their pets from approaching or interacting with a service dog, and they should encourage children and others to be respectful of the service animal and its duties.

While service animals are defined by the ADA as a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability, they are not the only kind of canines that provide assistance to humans. Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services (KPETS), a network of registered volunteers who partner with their companion animals to provide comfort, encouragement, and rehabilitation through

human/animal interactions, notes the differences between service dogs, emotional support dogs, and therapy dogs on its website, https://kpets.org.

While service dogs are specially trained and then placed with a person to recognize medical conditions and perform tasks for that person only, an emotional support animal (ESA) provides therapeutic support to a patient with a disabling mental illness, explains KPETS. “ESAs are not trained to perform tasks or recognize particular signs or symptoms but are distinguished by the close, emotional, and supportive bond between the animal and that person,” explains KPETS. KPETS registers therapy dogs, which are volunteers’ own pets.

The therapy dogs and their handlers visit only locations where they have been invited. KPETS volunteers visit area hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, libraries, and schools to interact with residents and the public. Unlike service dogs, which are charged with assisting and caring for a specific individual, therapy animals typically welcome interaction with members of the community.

“Bark For Life” Scheduled The ninth annual Bark For Life of Hummelstown-Hershey will be held at Schaffner Park, Poplar and Water streets, Hummelstown, on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. A dog-focused version of its signature Relay For Life fundraiser, the American Cancer Society’s Bark For Life is a noncompetitive walk and fundraising event designed for dogs and their

families to honor the caregiving contributions of canine companions and aid in the fight against cancer.

Community members are encouraged to attend with their dogs and enjoy the walk, vendors, demonstrations from police canine units, contests, music, and food.

To register or learn more about becoming a vendor,

readers may visit www.relay forlife.org/barkpahha. Readers may join a team, start a new team, or participate as individual walkers.

For details and registration, readers may contact Kate Gornik Johnson at 717-7070390 or kate.johnson@ cancer.org. All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.

HighHOPES Horse Program Slated All children ages 8 to 12 and their parents or guardians are invited to participate in the HighHOPES Miniature Horse Challenge at the EquiCentre for Growth and Learning, 168 Station Road, Grantville, on Saturday, March 2, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Chorale Releases Studio Recording The Susquehanna Chorale recently released a studio recording featuring repertoire from its spring 2018 concert series, titled “Roots & Wings.” The Susquehanna Chorale, founded in 1981 by conductor Linda L. Tedford, is a nationally recognized adult chamber ensemble of 35 singers chosen by audition.

“Roots & Wings” celebrates the breadth of human experience and how relationships that are rooted in faith, family, and friendship may inspire people to achieve their dreams.

Fauré’s “Cantique de Jean

Racine,” American spirituals, and Rhonda Sandberg’s modern arrangement of Bach’s “Come, Sweet Death” pay tribute to the historical roots of faith.

The enduring roots of human relationships are the focus of “Jenny Rebecca,” Bob Chilcott’s setting of Christina Rosetti’s poem “Remember Me,” and Eriks E∫envald’s “Only in Sleep,” based on Sara Teasdale’s poem about childhood friends returning in her dreams.

The roots of the United States’ musical heritage are honored

with songs from early America, including “Nelly Bly” and a men’s arrangement of “Aura Lee” as well as Copland’s “Long Time Ago” and “I Bought Me a Cat.” The program also includes Sean Kirchner’s “Unclouded Day.” “Roots & Wings” is the chorale’s eighth nationally distributed recording. Three of the chorale’s recordings were considered for Grammy nomination.

“Roots & Wings” is available for purchase by calling 717-5337859 or visiting www.susquehanna chorale.org.

Middletown Qualifies 3 to PIAA So. Regional

by Eric Pyles

Every high school wrestling season in Pennsylvania begins with the same goal, make it to Hershey. For seven Blue Raider grapplers that goal became reality with their participation in the District 3-2A Championships at Hersheypark Arena on February 22nd and 23rd. Of course, the ultimate goal is to make it to the Giant Center for the state championships and three Blue Raiders kept that dream alive by finishing in the top seven and moving on to the PIAA-2A Southeast Regional.

Luke Fegley followed up his undefeated run to a 113-pound sectional gold with a near perfect run to district silver. The junior’s only loss of the weekend came in his final bout where a 3-1 decision gave East Pennsboro’s Adam Jacob the gold and forced Fegley to settle for silver. Prior to the championship loss, Fegley was able to slip by Ethan Slaybaugh of Biglerville and Pequea Valley’s Jace Beegle by a combined 7-4 score.

Joining Fegley and completing the Blue Raider trio for the southeast regional will be Ryan Berstler and Joseph Spear. Berstler sought out his district title in the 126-pound bracket, starting with a 5-1 win over Littlestown’s Ayden Dillon. Berstler had his title hopes dashed in the quarterfinals courtesy of a 9-3 loss to Upper Dauphin’s Bronson Garber. He rebounded with three straight wins to work his way to the

consolation finals. Josh Tuckey of Biglerville claimed that consy championship and the bronze medal that goes with it, leaving Berstler with his second straight fourth place finish. In between the two losses were victories over Daemon Davis (Kennard-Dale), Dalton Gimbor (Hamburg) and Patrick DeMark (Trinity), putting Berstler at 35-10 on the year.

Spear earned his spot at Wilson High school thanks to a fifth-place finish in the 138-pound district showdown, one week after taking silver at the sectional championships. That sectional silver earned Spear a first round bye in Hershey, setting up a quarterfinal tilt opposite Brandywine Height’s Jacob Caskie.

Spear used an 8-0 second period edge to cruise to a 12-0 major decision win over Caskie. Spear could have used some of those points in his semifinal match with Jack Coulston of Boiling Springs. Coulston, using a late takedown, nipped Spear 5-4 and ended his title hopes. The effects of that semifinal loss carried over to Spear’s consolation semifinal opposite Octorara’s Michael Trainor which allowed Trainor to steal the 11-9 victory. Spear got back on track by topping Annville-Cleona’s Hayden Funck, picking up that fifth-place medal courtesy of a 7-1 win.

Three of the four remaining Blue Raiders found the going difficult and were unable to register a win while at Hersheypark Arena. Quincy Reinnagel was the outlier in that quartet thanks

to his 9-5 first round win over Jeremy Gebhart of Littlestown. Reinnagel then suffered losses to Pequea Valley’s Joey Coblentz and Elco’s Baily Beamesderfer, bringing the junior’s season to a close. Reinnagel was unable to get anything going against Coblentz, falling by a 7-0 final to the eventual bronze medalist while Beamesderfer topped Reinnagel for the second straight week.

Nathan Brady’s season ended with a pair of losses. He lost to Upper Dauphin’s Paul by a 3-0 count with all three points coming in the second period. The second period also proved to be Brady’s undoing in his consolation bout opposite Biglerville’s Showers as the Canner junior was able to collect the pinfall win at 2:09.

Chris Joseph closed his junior season with back-to-back losses as well. Darien Wiest of Upper Dauphin was responsible for the first loss, ending their first-round clash just 39 seconds after it began. That set up a consolation match opposite Aaron Shriner of Fairfield with Joseph’s comeback falling just short in an 118 loss. Shriner was able to counter Joseph’s first period takedown with a reversal and three-point nearfall giving the Knight senior a 5-2 edge.

Joseph kept attacking but Shriner matched him point for point over the final four minutes to hand

Joseph the season ending loss.

Middletown’s final district participant, Matthew Mitchell, was able to avoid his sectional nemesis but was unable to get by either Hunter Smith or Landon Donnelly, bringing his sophomore season to a close.

Mitchell earned his spot in the District 3 Championships thanks to his work in the sectional round where his only two losses were to Elco’s Adam Firestine, the second one forcing Mitchell to settle for a fourth-place medal. That slotted Mitchell into a first round district battle with James Buchanan’s Smith. The Rocket sophomore stretched his 6-1 first period edge into an 11-5 victory. Mitchell’s consolation match opposite Donnelly of West Perry ended just before the one-minute mark with Donnelly claiming the pinfall win.

For six other Blue Raider wrestlers their season came to close on February 15th and 16th with a trip to Central Dauphin East High School for the District 3-2A Sectional Championship.

Krea Scheaffer, Kenny Britcher, Case Woodley and Ivan Henderson all exited the sectional round without visiting the winners circle. Schaeffer dropped both of his 106-pound matches, losing by a 15-0 final to Bishop McDevitt’s Alex Tyson in the first round with a pinfall loss to Connor Jeffries of Octorara in the

consolation bracket closing out the junior’s season.

Lancaster Catholic’s Robert Reisinger and Annville-Cleona’s Evan Heilman were responsible for ousting Britcher from the 160-pound bracket.

Reisinger edged Britcher by one point, 7-6, in their first-round confrontation while Heilman worked his way to an 11-3 win over Britcher in their consolation match.

Woodley’s two losses were to two medalists, Elco’s Owen Kahl (fifth place) and Wyomissing’s Isiah Fernandez (sixth place), in the 170-pound draw.

Kahl ended their first-round match at the 3:26 mark while Fernandez claimed the consolation bout at the 2:38 mark.

Henderson nearly pulled off the upset of his 285-pound first round foe but Pequea Valley’s Bobby Broomell used a second period escape to post a 1-0 victory. Henderson bowed out of the sectional championship via a pinfall loss to Jacob Phillips of Hamburg.

Damion Williams (182) and Diante Gray (145), each went 2-2 over the two-day affair, following similar

paths to the end of their seasons.

Both grapplers kicked off their weekend with pinfall wins, Gray taking out Hamburg’s Ayden Kauffman while Williams got the better of Tulpehocken’s Connor Werni.

The quarterfinals saw both Williams and Gray fall to opponents that would go on to win silver medals in their respective weight classes.

Gray fell to Camp Hill’s Sean Getty while Williams had his title hopes ended by Kutztown’s Justin Akers.

The pair continued their matching paths with wins in their initial consolation matches. Gray ended Noah Safford of Annville-Cleona season with an 8-0 major decision while Williams managed to slip by Lancaster Catholic’s Henry Gartley by a 4-3 count.

The pair’s next encounter with Lancaster-Lebanon League grapplers came up short. Gray bowed out of the tournament with a loss to Elco’s Stephen Wiczalkowski while Levi Arms of Northern Lebanon brought an end to Williams’ season.

Neighborhood Hi, everyone! Goodbye February!

Welcome March!

Just Maybe…

- Maybe love is not about finding the perfect person; it’s about learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

- Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

- Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, oftentimes, we look so long at the closed door that we don’t even see the new one which has been opened for us.

- Maybe it is true that we don’t know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don’t know what we have been missing until it arrives.

- Maybe the happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

- Maybe the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can’t go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures, and heartaches.

- Maybe you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.

- Maybe there are moments in life when you miss someone - a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child - so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.

- Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

- Maybe you should always try to put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

- Maybe you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.

- Maybe giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn’t, be content that it grew in yours.

- Maybe happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.

- Maybe you shouldn’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

- Maybe you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

- Maybe when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Maybe you should try to live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

- Maybe you could share this with those people who mean something to you ... with those who have touched your life

either positively or not ... with those who can and do make you smile when you really need it ... with those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down ... and with all those whom you want to know that you appreciate them and their friendship.

Recipe of the Week Easy Tiramisu Dessert Ingredients: 1 package (10.75 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed and cut into 9 slices 3/4 cup strong-brewed coffee (room temperature) 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup chocolate-flavored syrup 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 2 cups whipping (heavy) cream 2 bars (1.4 ounces each) chocolate-covered toffee candy,chopped Directions: 1. Arrange cake slices in bottom of rectangular baking dish, 11-by-7-by-1 1/2 inches, cutting cake slices if necessary to cover bottom of dish. Drizzle coffee over cake.

2. Beat sugar, chocolate syrup, and cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add whipping cream. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Spread over cake. Sprinkle with candy.

3. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours to set dessert and blend flavors.

Tip of the Week Start a new tradition by hosting a Dessert Open House! Ask guests to bring a

favorite dessert to share. Nuts and cheeses go perfectly with decadent desserts. Also, consider serving with platters of fresh apple and pear slices.

Fact of the Week The unkempt Shaggy of Scooby-Doo fame has a rather proper real name: Norville Rogers.

Joke of the Week A trio of old veterans were bragging about the heroic exploits of their ancestors one afternoon down at the VFW hall.

“My great-grandfather, at age 13,” one declared proudly, “was a drummer boy at Shiloh.”

“Mine,” boasts another, “went down with Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn.”

“I’m the only soldier in my family,” confessed vet number three, “but if my greatgrandfather was living today he’d be the most famous man in the world.”

“Really? What’d he do?” his friends wanted to know.

“Nothing much. But he would be 165 years old.”

Food for Thought God has a purpose for your pain, A reason for your struggle, And a reward for your faithfulness.

Trust Him and don’t give up.

New Ag Business Service Slated Under the Ground is an annual subscription-based service and network through Penn State Extension that provides businesses with a comprehensive picture of their retail storefront from the eyes of peers and marketing specialists. The program is open to all small agricultural businesses within southeast and southcentral Pennsylvania that have a retail space.

Businesses can become part of the peer network. Through direct observation as secret shoppers, participants will get to the root of how different agricultural retail spaces are designed to enhance the customer experience. Each business involved will receive quarterly reports detailing feedback from both fellow business owners and industry specialists. Businesses will be provided with quarterly reports that will assess their displays, signage, customer service, and more. In addition to observing other retail spaces and receiving quarterly feedback, businesses will build a peer network that connects regularly through a closed social media group, networking events, and tours. Exclusive discounted tickets will be available for special events curated around enhancing retail effectiveness.

The test pilot will take place in 2019 to 2020. The focused area will be available to the following 19 counties in the southeast/southcentral quadrant of Pennsylvania, including Adams, Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Monroe, Montgomery, Northhampton, Perry, Philadelphia, Schuylkill, and York.

Eligible business categories include on-farm market, coffee roaster, bakery, miller, creamery, garden center, butcher/meat market, specialty oils, craft candy, homemade soaps, florist, apiarist, maple syrup producer, herb producer, wool/yarn, and canned goods.

The program subscription will be from Wednesday, May 1, 2019, to Thursday, April 30, 2020. Readers may contact Tanya Lamo tel20@psu.edu or 717-334-6271 with questions. Readers may register at https://extension.psu.edu /under-the-ground by Monday, April 15, for an early bird discount.

Egg Dyeing Classes from pg 1 This spring, Winters Heritage House Museum, 47 E. High St., Elizabethtown, will host two classes, each on a different egg dyeing technique.

On Saturday, March 23, from 1 to 3 p.m., a Pysanki Egg Dyeing Class will be offered. Pysanki, or Ukrainian egg dyeing, is a wax resistance process. Artists alternate carefully applied melted beeswax with baths of colored dye. When the process is complete and the wax is removed, layers of colorful designs are revealed. The per-participant fee for the class includes all materials. Each participant will be able to complete two or more eggs.

The second class will focuses on natural egg dyeing techniques. It will occur on Saturday, April 13, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Participants will learn how to use materials such as onion skins and spices to create naturally dyed eggs. Various special effects will also be explored. The per-participant fee includes eggs and materials.

Both classes are open to adults

and children age 12 and older.

The museum requests that parents stay with participating children. Adults may choose to participate also or simply assist their child with the project. Class size is limited.

To r e g i s t e r , r e a d e r s m a y contact the Winters Heritage House Museum by calling 717-367-4672 or emailing Winters-HH@Elizabethtown History.org. Participants who register for both classes will receive a discount.

Winters Heritage House Museum is the caretaker of two Colonial log structures that date to the founding of the town.

There is free parking in the designated lot behind the museum.
