A Firehouse Relic Finds Its Way Home
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Apiece of history recently came back to the Columbia Borough Fire Department (CBFD). The organization received a stone lintel that was part of the fire station located at Sixth and Locust streets in the 1800s.
“This station was demolished in the early 1960s and hauled away to the Deascenti Landfill in Columbia,” said Bob Kline, a member of CBFD. “The owner, Romey Deascenti, saved the stone and displayed it at the entrance of the landfill property.”
Kline, who is Deascenti’s grandson, eventually took over the landfill property, and over the years, he noticed how many people asked about the lintel. In 2025, Kline decided to sell the property, but he wanted to be sure the historic piece was preserved, so he approached the fire department about taking the lintel back.
As Kline explained, the lintel made a striking addition to the original fire hall.
“A lintel is a horizontal structural
beam that spans across the top of openings like doors, windows or fireplaces to support the load of the wall above,” he said. The piece

Support Hope in Columbia
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
We all need the support of others, but where do people turn when they don’t have a family or friends to help? A care home in Columbia fills this need, and now you can help it continue its mission.
“Our Home of Hope provides a warm, welcoming home to individuals who may be in need of a little extra care and support,” said Robin Gamby, the home’s executive director. “Located in Columbia, we offer 30 residents 24/7 care, including all meals, laundry service, cleaning, medication assistance and transportation to doctor visits, all with Christian compassion - all the comforts and care that a loved one would have provided.”
Fair Fun Along the River
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
The fair is coming to town, and you’re invited to take part in the family fun. The Wrightsville Fair will run from 6 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, May 21; 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 22 and 23; and 2 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 24. It will be held in Riverfront Park, 465 N. Front St., Wrightsville.
The fair is a collaboration between members of the Wrightsville Borough Council, the African American Cultural Alliance (AACA) and Majestic Midways, said Alicia Ferrari, borough council member.
She’s joined in organizing the event by fellow council members Sara Barrett and Alex Lehman of the Community & Economic Development Committee and Derek Smith of the African American Cultural Alliance of Lancaster.
“I noticed on Facebook that the AACA was looking for a new location for their annual fair, and I knew the community of Wrightsville would be so excited for the opportunity to host an event like this,” Ferrari shared. “I’ve heard so many residents reminisce fondly about carnivals here in town in the past.”
The festivities will feature fun for the whole family, she said.
“There will be rides and games for all ages, plus local vendors, businesses, organizations and food trucks, too,” she remarked.
There is no admission fee for the fair, but tickets will be sold per ride at the ticket booth. On Thursday evening, unlimited rides will be available for one price.
Ferrari said collaborating with the AACA has given the borough

dominated the façade of the original fire department, which was established on July 4, 1796. On Feb. 2, 1897, the Susquehanna Fire Company was established at 10th and Manor streets, where the CBFD stands today.
The department is working to create a museum on-site that will highlight the history of the organization. Kline thought the lintel would make a perfect addition to the collection.
“The museum is still in process,” Kline said, noting that the department is gathering items to display.
Columbia has one of the oldest volunteer fire services in the United States, and fire protection in Columbia Borough has long been defined by a rich history of service and community commitment. That legacy entered a new chapter in 2008, when Columbia No. 1 Fire Company, Susquehanna Fire & Rescue Company and Columbia Consolidated Fire Company began discussions about merging into a single, unified department. Committees from all
monthly over several years to map out the future of fire and rescue services in the borough. Ultimately, leaders selected the Susquehanna Fire Company’s Manor Street station as the headquarters for the newly formed Columbia Borough Fire Department. Equipment from Columbia No. 1 was relocated to the Manor Street site, while the Front Street station continued to house squads, boats, special units and the traffic unit until its eventual sale.
On Aug. 4, 2015, CBFD officially began operating as one department from the Manor Street station, with personnel cross-trained to operate all apparatus and equipment. Today, CBFD carries forward its long-standing tradition, continuing to provide fire and rescue services to Columbia Borough and surrounding communities while honoring a proud and enduring past.
“The fire service from inception until today has changed dramatically,” Kline noted, recalling the bucket brigades of the past. The company has been on the cutting edge of firefighting work for years. It featured the first River Rescue unit in the region and employed the first thermal imaging camera in the county. The department responded to more than 800 calls in 2025, and so far in 2026, it has handled more than 230 incidents. The company stays connected to the community with programs for Columbia Borough schools, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, day cares, senior centers and religious organizations. It also offers tours of the fire station and fire safety education programs. The Hambones Social Club, located on-site, provides membership for people age 21 and older and also hosts social events for the public throughout the year.
“Supporting the department can be done in many forms,” Kline said. “Volunteers are always needed, whether being a firefighter or in support roles for fundraisers, work details, bingo or a leadership role. Monetary contributions are always welcome.”

an opportunity to showcase one of its most picturesque spots.
“We are so glad our Riverfront Park provides the perfect landscape for this kind of community event, right along the beautiful Susquehanna River,” she said.
The African American Cultural Alliance of Lancaster works to strengthen the community by promoting self-sufficiency; fostering dialogue; and supporting educational, cultural and social initiatives that celebrate and uplift the African American experience. Over the years, the organization has grown from hosting a signature parade and festival into a broader, volunteer-driven effort dedicated to preserving heritage and creating opportunities that unite and inspire the commu -
nity. The Wrightsville Fair will help the organization continue to highlight its mission.
Although the fair will take place in the afternoon and evening, Ferrari encourages people to make a day of it in Wrightsville.
“Come earlier in the day to experience all that Wrightsville has to offer - our restaurants, historic character and views of the river,” she commented.
“Spend a fun evening down in Riverfront Park with classic carnival games and rides, fun for all ages, plus local vendors and yummy food trucks.”

People can support Our Home of Hope through in-kind donations, contribution to the nonprofit’s endowment fund, giving of assets, leaving a gift in a will or simply providing a treat for the residents.
The home also invites the community to a meat bingo fundraiser to be held on Saturday, May 30, at the Columbia Borough Fire Department, 726 Manor St. Doors will open at 11 a.m., and bingo will begin at 1 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at Little’s Beverage Distributor, 1224 Lancaster Ave., Columbia; through board or staff members of Our Home of Hope; or through Venmo at @OHOHRG. If paying electronically, make a note that it’s for bingo and include your name to pick up your ticket at the door.
Thanks to the vision of John and Mable Hershey, the former private Cherry Street Guest Home was converted into the nonprofit Our Home of Hope Inc. in 2017 so funds could be received to help underwrite the shortfall between the residents’ income and the cost of operating the facility.
“The Hersheys saved the home, with the help of many family, friends and businesses who believed in their mission,” Gamby shared.
Individuals with intellectual disabilities, minor mental health challenges or a need for just a little extra support are welcome at Our Home of Hope.
“Our residents receive
the care they need to thrive with a sense of purpose,” Gamby said. “On an average day, you will see residents walking around town, playing cards or enjoying staffor volunteer-led activities and exercise. The residents also enjoy taking care of two blocks in Columbia through the borough’s Adopt-a-Block program.”
Gamby encourages people to support the nonprofit and to see their gifts in action at an open house. It will be held at Our Home of Hope from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 27, and it will include a tour of the home and opportunities to visit with residents.
“Thanks to many generous donors and volunteers, we are able to provide the residents with a loving home,” Gamby said. “The home has been blessed with many volunteers who love to entertain the residents or help with work projects.
Thanks to the generous donation of a 15-passenger bus from St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, the residents will be able to enjoy trips this summer to go shopping, enjoy a country drive or their favorite - ice cream.”
She emphasized that, since residents of the home are often economically disadvantaged, the nonprofit relies on the generosity of the community to help Our Home of Hope maintain its high standard of care.
“We are also grateful to be the recipient of several grants this past year, and we continue to apply for
Decades Opens Ice Cream Bar
grants for other needs of the home, for a generator; new interior railing; additional security cameras; new furniture, such as metal dressers; and new dining room chairs,” Gamby said.
To streamline the donation process, the nonprofit has created a link to advertise its needs. It may be found at https:// ourhomeofhope.com/ donate.
“We have been blessed by the generosity of the
community that provides items that also help reduce our operating expenses,” Gamby said. “On behalf of all of our residents, staff and board, we thank our supporters for helping us provide our amazing residents with a home filled with hope.”
For more information, visit www.ourhomeofhope .com. For additional details on the upcoming bingo, visit the home’s Facebook page by searching for “Our Home of Hope, Inc.”
The Ice Cream Bar will be open on Fridays from 4 to 9 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 9 p.m. Later in May, the Ice Cream Bar will switch from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday hours to Wednesday through Sunday hours. The full inside Decades experience - retro arcade games, bowling, full restaurant, and bar - will continue to be open on Wednesdays through Sundays. Outdoor dining options will be available.
For more information, email Tony Gorick at tony@ decadesbowl.com.

Special Olympics Explores Pure Nature of Sports
BY JEFF FALK
Some of its offerings aren’t exactly what one might consider traditional Olympic sports. But what makes Special Olympics so special is that it unlocks potential, it explores the therapeutic nature of athletics, and it enhances lives.
“My favorite part is watching the growth of athletes as people,” said Lynn Lopez, a team lead for Special Olympics Lancaster.
“Not just as athletes, but as individuals,” said Anne Phillips, a sports team leader for Special Olympics Lancaster. “I have one particular athlete who was shy and reserved, and now he’s not afraid to speak with anybody. He’s developed quite a bit of confidence.”
“Many times, after high school, our athletes don’t have ways to enjoy sports,” said Phillips. “We’re able to bring joy to the athletes and their families. They’re able to compete with peers. That’s important, mentally, physically and socially.”
“We want to extend an opportunity to everyone to try a sport maybe they haven’t tried before,” said Lopez.

Special Olympics Lancaster uses sports to serve local residents with intellectual disabilities and delayed development issues. Athletes are mentored by coaches, learn the finer points of sports and are afforded opportunities to interact with peers and other members of the community.
Those opportunities that Special Olympics Lancaster provide are free to participants and their families.
Special Olympics Lancaster does not maintain a brick-and-mortar office space, but its management team meets at 7 p.m. on the third Monday of every month at Keystone Custom Homes, 227 Granite Run Drive, Lancaster.
The sports offered by Special Olympics Lancaster are seasonal and correspond to those offered by Special Olympics Pennsylvania. Softball is offered in the summer season, which runs from June through August, while the fall season features volleyball, bocce, power lifting and long-distance walking/ running. Special Olympics Lancaster’s winter season offers bowling and snow shoeing, and the spring season includes swimming, basketball and tennis.
Seasons consist of learning, practicing and competing on the local, area and state levels. Special Olympics Lancaster utilizes athletic venues at Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster Bible College, Lititz recCenter, John Beck Elementary School in the Warwick School District and YMCA of the Roses in the city.
“(Athletes) develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendship,” said Lopez, a resident of Manheim Township. “The soft skills are steps toward independence. The social

Special Olympics
skills are interactions with others outside of their families.”
“It often helps parents,” said Phillips, a resident of Manheim borough. “Some parents are feeling very alone and they learn information like, ‘My athlete does that too.’ It’s helpful for parents as well as the athletes. Some parents think their children couldn’t do anything, and they’re finding out they can play the sports they love.”
Currently, about 165 individuals are registered across Special Olympics Lancaster programs. They’re Lancaster County residents between the ages of 8 and 60.
“They are people. They are to be respected just like anyone else,” said Phillips. “For some, it’s social. But we have many serious, competitive athletes. Some are even elite athletes. They train year-round.”
“These are people who love playing sports for the true love of it,” said Lopez. “They are doing everything they can to compete at the level they’re at. They’re going to do their best.”
Special Olympics Lancaster benefits from the contributions of about 40 volunteers. Because of safety guidelines, Special
Olympics Lancaster maintains a one-to-four coachto-athlete ratio, and there are currently waiting lists for athletes in some sports.
Right now, Special Olympics Lancaster is seeking volunteer coaches for its summer softball season.
“The name ‘Special Olympics’ is as popular as CocaCola,” said Lopez. “We’re one of the most recognizable brand names. But do people understand who we are? No, not always. Some people think it’s a one-day or two-day function. We are that program targeting people with intellectual disabilities and developmental delays. We’re much bigger than people think we are.”
Special Olympics was established in Lancaster in 1975. There are more than 50 active Special Olympics programs across Pennsylvania.
“We’re giving athletes a place to fit in, be competitive and learn a sport,” said Phillips. “We need volunteers. We train volunteers. We could be so much bigger and meet so many more needs of the people of Lancaster County.”

Students Invited to Audition for Orchestra Ensembles
High school students are invited to audition for the Allegro Orchestra’s Overture and Allegretto ensembles.
Allegro Orchestra’s Nextgen Youth Music program has opened registration for auditions for the high school Overture and Allegretto ensembles for the 2026-27 season.
Overture is a full symphonic orchestra for students in grades eight through 12. Through demanding music and professional instruction, students will develop advanced abilities on their instruments, as well as an understanding of how to perform in a full orchestra setting. Overture is under the direction of conductor Scott Kaliszak and assistant conductor Anthony Scheuerman.
The Allegretto Chamber Orchestra is Nextgen’s premier ensemble for advanced students in grades eight through 12. Allegretto demands the utmost musicianship and professionalism of students in a chamber orchestra setting. Students in this ensemble receive guidance and instruction to perform standard repertoire and newly composed orchestral music. Allegretto is under the direction of founding conductor Brian Norcross and assistant conductor Francis Caravella.
During the 2025-26 season, Overture and Allegretto gave combined performances, providing
a unique experience to students. Allegretto students had the opportunity to experience a full symphonic orchestra setting, and Overture students were challenged by some of Allegretto’s advanced repertoire.
Allegro Nextgen aims to develop a love of the creative endeavor through exceptional, positive rehearsal and performance opportunities of varied, high-quality repertoire, with a wide range of performance ensembles. These musical opportunities are unique and designed to enhance what the students can learn in their normal scholastic musical experiences.
The Nextgen team believes that every child should have the opportunity to develop his or her intellectual and artistic capacity through playing a musical instrument and participating in a variety of musical ensembles and opportunities.
Auditions for the 202627 season of Overture and Allegretto will be held from Saturday, May 30, to Monday, June 1, at First United Methodist Church, 29 E. Walnut St., Lancaster. Parents may register their students at https://tinyurl .com/55934j9d.
