MASD Selects Holiday Card Design

HSHA Slates Penguin Plunge

Each year, Middletown Area School District (MASD) sends a greeting card to vendors and business partners who support the district throughout the year. The creator of this year’s holiday card artwork is Jada Paredes, Class of 2021.

The artwork for the card is submitted on a three-year cycle from a different school level on a rotating basis between the high school, middle school, and the elementary schools.

This year, it was the high school students’ turn to submit their art pieces for consideration. The district office received many pieces from its high school artists. Jada’s watercolor cardinal expresses both the joy of the season and the wish of peace for the new year.

Larry Witters, the 2019 Baby New Year, relegated the role to Teresa Ardini of Manheim for 2020. Ardini is creating her own costume and will announce next year’s lucky - or not so lucky, depending on the weather - honoree after the ride.

The approximately 25- to 30mile ride follows a scenic route along the Susquehanna River through Marietta and Bainbridge. The ride will finish at the Elizabethtown American Legion Post 329, 240 N. Hanover St., Elizabethtown, where a traditional pork and sauerkraut meal will be served in the banquet hall. A silent auction will feature plenty of motorcycle merchandise, gift cards, and other items, including a T-shirt quilt created

by TLC-Quilting.

Another fun tradition is the presentation of a plaque to the individual who travels the farthest to participate in the ride.

Motorcyclists have come from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and beyond in past years. The winner of last year’s plaque rode from

his home north of the Poconos.

Organized by members of Post 185, the ride is open to the public and not only to motorcyclists, but to drivers of any other vehicles who would like to participate to honor veterans. People are also welcome to pay for admission to the meal and after-ride festivities.

Businesses interested in making a contribution toward the fundraiser for veterans may call Stumpf at 717-468-6197.

Beautiful weather with temperatures in the 50s graced last year’s New Year’s Day charity motorcycle ride along the Susquehanna River, and organizers are crossing their fingers for more of the same this time around. “Last year we raised over $35,000, and it was our biggest year for the amount of money raised. That brings our total for the 10 years we’ve had this ride to over $160,000 that we’ve raised for veterans,” stated organizer Tyler Stumpf.

Billy Hecht, who started the event with Stumpf and some other friends, emphasized that 100% of proceeds from the event go toward helping veterans who utilize services at the Lebanon VA Medical Center, with no overhead or administrative costs.

The 11th annual New Year’s Day motorcycle ride will take off from the Walter S. Ebersole American Legion Post 185, located at 255 W. Main St., Mount Joy, at 1 p.m. on Wednesday,

Jan. 1, 2020. The registration fee, which is a set per-person donation, will include a meal at the conclusion of the ride.

Registration will open at 10 a.m. at Post 185. Breakfast food and coffee will be available for purchase. The Post 185 Ladies Auxiliary will serve homemade soup before the ride. Vendors will offer items for purchase including commemorative shirts, sweatshirts, and patches for vests.

“Before the ride, we say the Pledge of Allegiance, and with that many people there Main Street just becomes completely quiet,” Stumpf shared. Approximately 475 bikes rode in last year’s event.

One tradition the ride has maintained through the years is the naming of one rider as “Baby New Year,” who must ride the first mile dressed in a baby costume. That rider has the honor of selecting next year’s Baby New Year. “This year we have our first female Baby New Year,” Stumpf noted. Elizabethtown resident

the best choice. Bright explained why different boots are necessary for different destinations and how to waterproof them to keep one’s feet dry.

Bright said that a few standard items he packs take up very little room and can make the adventure better. These are hand and foot warmers, a thermal emergency blanket, and a good quality water bottle.

During the presentation, Bright also advised the boys on different tricks to keep warm, why it is easier to dehydrate on winter trips than on summer outings, the seriousness of frostbite, and hypothermia.

Troop 97 is sponsored by the Londonderry Fire Company of Middletown. For more information, readers may contact Ted Pauley at tszm@hotmail.com.

Climbing and camping expert Earl Bright Jr. (middle row, fifth from left) met with Scouts of Troop 97 and Webelos of Pack 97.

True Meaning of Christmas Just a week before Christmas I had a visitor. This is how it happened. I had just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room, and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.

“What are you doing?” I started to ask. The words caught in my throat, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know. He then answered me with a simple command, “Teach the children!” I was puzzled. What did he mean?

He anticipated my question and with one quick movement brought forth a miniature toy bag from behind the tree. As I stood bewildered, Santa said, “Teach the children! Teach them the old meaning of Christmas - the meaning that nowadays has been forgotten.”

Santa then reached into his bag and pulled out a fir tree and placed it before the mantle.

“Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, and all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man’s thoughts turning toward heaven.”

He again reached in his bag and pulled out a brilliant star.

“Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of His promise.”

He then reached into his bag and pulled out a candle. “Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of He who displaces the darkness.”

Once again he reached into his bag and removed a wreath and placed it on the tree. “Teach the children that the wreath symbolizes the real nature of love. Real love never ceases. Love is continuous affection.”

He then pulled from his bag an ornament of himself. “Teach the children that I, Santa Claus, symbolize the generosity and goodwill we feel during the month of December.”

He then brought out a holly leaf. “Teach the children that the holly plant represents immortality. It represents the crown of thorns worn by our Savior. The red holly berries represent the blood shed by Him.” Next he pulled from his bag a gift and said, “Teach the children

Tonya Bibb 717-623-2767 tkcondran@gmail.com

that God so loved the world that He gave His begotten Son.” Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift.

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a candy cane and hung it on the tree. “Teach the children that the candy cane represents the shepherd’s crook. The crook on the staff helps to bring back strayed sheep to the flock.

The candy cane is the symbol that we are our brother’s keeper.”

He reached in again and pulled out an angel. “Teach the children that it was the angels who heralded the glorious news of the Savior’s birth. The angels sang ‘Glory to God in the highest, on Earth peace and good will toward men.’”

Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound, and from his bag he pulled out a bell. “Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring mankind to the fold.

The bell symbolizes guidance and return.”

Santa looked back and was pleased. He looked back at me and I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said, “Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center, for I am but a humble servant of the One that is, and I bow down to worship Him, our Lord, our God.” Happy Birthdays Happy birthday to AJ Kinsey of Royalton!

Maria Gorgo-Gourovitch was the principal investigator of the grant. Other members of the team were Megan Chawner, Tara Baugher, Jeffrey Stoltzfus, Don Seifrit, Christi Graver, professor of food science Dr. Luke LaBorde, and now retired extension educator Lee Stivers.

Congress entrusted the FDA to implement the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This new law changed the food safety system from one that responds to contamination to one that aims to prevent it in the first place. Among the suite of new regulations issued under the law is “Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and

Holding of Produce for Human Consumption” (USFDA, 2013), commonly known as the Produce Safety Rule. The Produce Safety Rule poses new regulatory challenges to the fresh produce industry in Pennsylvania and across the country. Latino growers and farmworkers had an unmet need for accessible Food Safety and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) information, education, and resources. In order to provide short, easy-to-understand information, the Extension focused its educational materials and trainings on topics such as personal hygiene, microorganisms, and sources of contamination during, before, and after harvest.

The Extension team began by collecting, assessing, and archiving pre-existing educational materials related to FSMA and Farm Food Safety education available at the Penn State website. Team members identified

gaps in programming in regard to content and methodology. As a result, 10 articles and two fact sheets were translated. The team reviewed and updated the Food Safety Training Kit and the GAP posters to match new public service announcement curricula and created a catalog of available information in English and Spanish.

With support from stakeholders, the Extension determined where the greatest needs in programming were and then developed new educational materials and workshops specific to various industry groups.

The team created a number of innovative, new food safety (GAPs) outreach, education, and training programs in English and Spanish, including 11 trainings and professional development with a total of 24 presentations.

Fifteen Lower Dauphin High School musicians were selected by audition to perform in the Lebanon Valley College Honors Orchestra on Nov. 2.

The honors orchestra festival was directed by Dr. Johannes Dietrich, director of symphony orchestra and professor of instrumental music at Lebanon Valley College. Students from school districts across central Pennsylvania participated in the festival.

Lower Dauphin students who participated included Kiara Cressinger, cello; Cody Dent, viola; Emma Dickinson, cello; Jaiden Dissinger, viola; Samantha Farace, violin; Aidan Ferguson, violin; Katherine Foley, violin; Joseph Goduto, viola; Kate Little, cello; Antonio Mardegain, string bass; Anna Mauger, viola; Olivia Meyers, viola; Matthew Michalowski, cello; Greyson Parks, string bass; and Julia Ruzzi, violin.

EITC Funds Support Classroom Program Through its Explore in the Classroom series, WITF was able to donate more than 3,000 books to area students during the 2018-19 school year. Three new, age-appropriate books were given to every kindergartner in the Harrisburg School District and to more than 320 kindergartners at four schools in York City School District. The plan is to continue to reach students in Harrisburg and York and, in 2020, the School District of Lancaster.

Explore in the Classroom is for kindergarten and first-grade students in underserved school districts. The three-part series uses different PBS characters, such as Curious George, Clifford,

and Super Why, to engage children in literacy, science, and math experiences and gives each child books to take home.

The series is made possible by businesses that donate through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. WITF has again been approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development as an Educational Improvement Organization (EIO), meaning that it is eligible to receive EITC contributions. Businesses that participate in EITC and would like to donate may contact Sarah Sheehan at sarah_sheehan@witf.org or 717-910-2866.
