Help The Fight Will Hold Banquet

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

“We are people who help people,” said Lynda Charles, cofounder and president of Help the Fight. “Our mission is as simple as that.” Help the Fight is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping anyone currently

receiving breast cancer treatment or anyone in need of screening to detect breast cancer. The organization will host its 13th annual fundraising banquet on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The event will be held at Spooky Nook Sports, 75 Champ Blvd., Manheim.

A Flag Day ceremony was held in Locust Street Park.

Honoring The Flag

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

he Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks requires a formal observance of Flag Day, and the Columbia-Middletown Elks 1074 took that mission to heart when it hosted a Flag Day ceremony on June 12. The ceremony was held in the gazebo in Locust Street Park, 550 Locust St., Columbia, and it featured a program dedicated to celebrating the history of the flag.

“We started off with our Exalted Ruler, Bob Nikolaus, who introduced some local dignitaries, and then we presented a program where we gave the history of every flag we’ve had since we began as a nation,” said Jeff Jones, Esteemed Leading Knight with the ColumbiaMiddletown Elks. “We have had nine different flags as a country.”

The ceremony included remarks from Columbia Mayor Leo Lutz and

throughout the United States.

Locally, the Columbia-Middletown Elks has more than 620 members and has invested more than $329,000 in the local community over the past five years. “We are huge supporters of veterans and veteran programs,” Jones noted.

“We also support drug and alcohol awareness programs and a variety of community organizations in the local area.”

The purpose of the Flag Day ceremony, Jones said, was not only to honor the flag, but also to remind the participants of everything they share as Americans. “It’s about bringing people together,” he stated. “We are really divided these days as a country, but we want people to remember: We are all one great nation under God.” To learn more about the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, visit www.elks.org.

When paleontologist Chris Haefner of West Hempfield found a fossil in a church yard in York, he suspected he had uncovered something special. “It was an unusual creature,” said Haefner, who eventually learned the fossil represented an animal previously unknown to mankind. “It was not just a new species. It was a new genus – a new family,” said Haefner.

Police Chief Jack Brommer. The Frontier Girls, Boy Scout Troop 35 and Columbia Cub Pack 35 handed out small flags and flag lapel pins to the audience prior to the ceremony.

Music for the ceremony was provided by Chris Prestia of Columbia School of Music. Selections included patriotic songs such as “God Bless America.”

The tradition of Elks hosting Flag Day ceremonies dates to July 1908, when the Elks Grand Lodge made observance of the date mandatory for all subordinate lodges. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson officially established June 14 as Flag Day. The holiday became a national observance in 1949, when President Harry Truman, himself a member of the Elks, was inspired to sign an act of Congress dedicating June 14 to the flag.

Charles held a bake sale and raised more than $9,000 with just three weeks to pull everything together. “The community was amazing with their support,” she recalled. “We saw that there was a want from people who wanted to help our cause and there was a need from people who needed our support.” Since then, Help the Fight has raised more than $1 million for cancer patients. “Unfortunately, too many people are affected by and afflicted with breast cancer,”

Charles remarked. “It’s not just a patient disease; it’s a family illness.

It affects the whole family.”

Help the Fight provides financial support in a variety of ways tailored to each individual’s needs. “We help with what their greatest need is,” said Susie Dailey, patient coordinator. “It could be medical bills, rent, insurance, medication, transportation. We have filled oil tanks and put tires on a car. We help however we can.” Screenings, including mammograms, ultrasounds and genetic testing, are also supported by funds from Help the Fight.

Charles noted that the annual banquet provides not only an opportunity to support the nonprofit, but also a chance to hear from some of the people who have been

helped by the organization. “We usually have at least one patient speak,” she stated. “It’s very emotional when the crowd hears their story.” She noted that tickets are limited to 500 this year, to keep the event large enough to raise significant funds but small enough to still feel intimate. “It’s a casual event,” she said. “People can dress up if they want to, or they can dress casually and comfortably. It’s just a night of fun.”

Help the Fight is also looking for volunteers to assist the organization year-round or specifically at the banquet. For more information, including to purchase tickets, visit http://bidpal.net/helpthefight or call the Help the Fight office at 717455-7095.

Discovery from pg 1 in Washington, D.C. Haefner founded the county-wide club with his wife, Cathy, who now serves as treasurer, in 2013. At the May 2014 meeting, the group learned that the Cityview Church in West York had moved rock to a specific area of land when a new building was constructed. “The rock (in that area) is Kinzers shale,” explained Haefner. “It looked fossiliferous,” he noted, adding that the rock features rare echinoderms - marine invertebrates. Haefner gained permission to complete pocket-hole digs of about 18 inches deep, and he with help from Cathy, set about searching for fossils. He found the first to two Yorkicystis fossils in May 2017, and posted a photo on his Facebook page. A

“friend” saw the post and alerted Dr. Samuel Zamora, a paleontologist specializing in echinoderms who has worked at the Smithsonian.

Exercise Ideas For Older Adults Physical activity is vital to overall health. The World Health Organization (WHO) says limiting time spent being idle and taking advantage of opportunities to get moving - even if it’s just a little bit of exercise - can go a long way toward improving overall health.

In November 2020, the WHO released new exercise guidelines for people of all ages. Adults - including older adults and those with chronic conditions or disabilities should get between 150 and 300 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity. However, individuals with limited mobility due to age or pre-existing medical conditions may wonder how they can meet these guidelines for exer-

performed in a chair.

Work out in the water.

Exercising in the water can assist with movement and reduce strain on the body. The Arthritis Foundation says the water’s buoyancy supports body weight, which minimizes stress on joints and can alleviate pain. Water provides gentle resistance as well - up to 12 times the resistance of air. That means it’s possible to build strength and muscle even just by walking or swimming in a pool.

Using resistance bands and doing chair exercises are ways for individuals with limited mobility to fulfill their weekly physical activity requirements.

The early years of midlife are a hectic time for many people. Around the time people reach their late 30s and early 40s, many of them are balancing the responsibilities of a career and a family. But as people enter their 50s, some of those responsibilities may be less significant, leaving more time for recreational pursuits.

Hobbies and other pursuits outside work are often more fun when enjoyed with friends. People over 50 likely recognize that it’s not always easy to make new friends, even though it’s beneficial to have supportive relationships in one’s golden years. A 2017 study from researchers at Michigan State University found that

valuing friendships was a stronger predictor of health and happiness among older adults than valuing family.

Making friends after 50 might not be as simple as it was during one’s school days, but the following strategies can help to build new friendships.

- Identify interests. Fiftysomethings who have spent the last couple of decades building a career and raising a family can give some serious thought to their interests outside of work or passions they hope to pursue now that they have more time to commit to such pursuits. The more interested a person is in a given activity, the more likely he or she is to stick with it and possibly meet See Friends pg 5

Tips For Seniors To Lessen Their Financial Load By the time people reach their 50th birthday, many have begun to imagine what their life in retirement may look like. People may seek ways to reduce their financial load in anticipation of the day when they will no longer work. Cutting back need not be complicated, and the following are some simple ways for individuals to save money.

- Address unsecured debt.

Unsecured debt, which can include credit card balances and medical bills, tends to

carry higher interest rates than debts that carry a collateral requirement. According to the Federal Reserve, roughly 12.5% of individuals over 50 still have student loan debt, which is another type of unsecured debt. If possible, people over 50 should pay off these debts immediately or make their best effort to pay extra each month so the debts are paid off as soon as possible.

- Pay in cash. It’s not enough to simply pay off unsecured debt like con-

sumer credit. It’s also important to stop accruing additional debt. Individuals over 50 should resist the temptation to use their credit cards, instead paying with cash or debit cards. Credit card debt is often characterized as a problem for young consumers, but a 2021 report from ValuePenguin found that the median credit card debt among individuals between the ages of 55 and 64 was higher than it was for consumers ages 35 to 44.

Paying in cash, whether it’s

with paper currency or a debit card, ensures you’re not digging yourself into debt.

- Re-examine your housing situation. Adults 50 and over who purchased their home in their late 20s or early 30s are likely nearing the maturity date on their mortgages. If so, paying a little extra toward the principal each month will help to pay off the mortgage a good deal earlier than paying the same amount you’ve been paying for years. Although paying

Applications will be accepted for 2023 Columbia Business Grants beginning Jan. 2, 2023, and must be submitted by March 1, 2023. Decisions will be announced on April 1, and funds will be distributed in late April.

Collectors from the Susquehanna Valley and beyond visited the Columbia Public Library (CPL) in midMay to bid on more than 40 lots during the library’s second annual fundraising auction and sale. The event, which included dozens of buy-it-now items, along with a silent auction for cakes made by local bakers, raised more than $17,000 and netted $15,000, which will be used to conserve and restore paintings in CPL’s permanent collection.

Between the sale and auction items and the sup-

port of multiple sponsors, the event exceeded last year’s revenue total by more than 50%. The additional funds will provide a head start on future projects, including a space where researchers can have better access to the library’s rare and historic books. Last year’s auction enabled the library to upgrade its climate control for its rare book room.

- Utilize social media. In years past, men and women over 50 may not have had readily available tools to reach out and connect with new people. Social media has made it easier to build such connections. Even the most obscure passions likely have a social media group of locals devoted to them, and these groups can be great ways to meet new people. A local runners’ club may have its own social media accounts, and local governments and community groups often share information about sports leagues and other groups via social media.

Since housing costs are many people’s greatest expense, removing a mortgage payment from your financial ledger by the time you reach 55 could create significant financial flexibility as you get closer to retirement.

Individuals over 50 can utilize some simple yet effective strategies to reduce their financial obligations as retirement nears.

For example, the financial experts at Wells Fargo note that individuals with a fixedrate mortage loan of $200,000 at 4% can cut the term of that loan by more than four and a half years by paying as little as $100 extra each month toward their principal. Homeowners over 50 who have already paid off a significant percentage of their mortgage loans could

group outings to museums, theatrical productions, sporting events, and more. Signing up for a bus trip to a local museum presents a great opportunity to meet people who share one’s interests, providing the potential to build lasting friendships.

- Broaden your horizons.

Just because people are in their 50s does not mean their friends have to be. Friends come in all ages, so don’t hesitate to invite younger or older acquaintances and colleagues over for dinner or on weekend excursions.

Making friends after 50 can be challenging. However, various strategies can help people in this age group to connect with new people.

for children in kindergarten through grade five will also be collected. The items will be dispersed to Donegal, Elizabethtown, Hempfield and Columbia Borough school districts. A food bank collection will also be held during the bazaar to benefit the Mount Joy Food Bank and the East Donegal-Conoy Area Christian Food Bank. Donations of non-expired food items as well as grocery store gift cards will be accepted. Basener noted that anyone who donates three items will receive three tickets for a basket giveaway at the bazaar.

Items up for grabs will include a variety of family fun activities such as tickets to Lake Tobias Wildlife Park, Dorney Park, Laserdome and Go ’N Bananas Family Fun Center. More than 20 vendors will be on-site for the bazaar, including Made by MMOC, which will feature items created by members of the parish. A silent auction will also be held, with a showcase item of a live-edge wood bench and end table made by a parish member.

Breakfast and lunch items will be available for purchase, including Miller’s chicken barbecue. Preorders for the barbecue are due by Saturday, July 9, and may be placed by calling the parish at 717-653-4903. A limited number of barbecue meals will be available for purchase at the bazaar.

Proceeds from the bazaar will be used to support community organizations, Basener said, including local police and fire departments.

“It’s a really fun family day,” Basener said of the bazaar. “There’s a children’s play area and kids can win prizes. We’ll have live music this year as well. It’s just a nice day to be with the Lancaster community and share some fellowship.”
