Celebrating 75 Years Of Service BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Since 1947, Lake Clarke Rescue has provided water rescue and response from its base along the Susquehanna River in Wrightsville. Now the nonprofit wants to share its mission with the community. Lake Clarke Rescue will hold a 75th anniversary celebration on Saturday, Aug. 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at
1838 Long Level Road, Wrightsville. “We’ll have some of our rescue equipment out for people to explore,” said Maxine Taglieri, treasurer. “We’ll have games for kids at no cost. We’ll have a bouncy house, a dunk tank, face painting and chances for kids to guess how much candy is in a jar and win it.” Hot dogs and other food will be available for purchase. See Service pg 3

or a chance to see some unique vehicles and support the theater department at Columbia High School, make plans to attend Driving For Drama. The car show will be held at the school, 901 Ironville Pike, on Saturday, Aug. 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The rain date is Sunday, Aug. 14. “The idea for this show came up a couple of years ago when the theater department was looking for fundraising ideas for the booster club,” said Dave Kinser, who owns South 16th Street Garage in Columbia and is one of the event organizers. “We’re all car guys, and we’ve been involved in car shows, so it was a natural fit.” Joining Kinser in spearheading the event are James “Boomer” Weaver and Tim Pentz.
Kinser has been involved in the theater program at Columbia High School for years. His three sons all participated in the program, and he has been set director for 26 shows. “Proceeds from the car show will be used for upgrades to equipment and to help with overall operating expenses of the theater program,” he explained. Columbia High School’s program presents a fall play and a spring musical annually. The car show will be held in the west parking lot, near the football field. Spectators are asked to park in the east parking lot closest to Kinderhook Road. Registration for cars will be available on the day of the show, but preregistration is offered for a discount. Admission for spectators is free. For more information, including weather updates, search for “Driving For Drama Benefit Car Show” on Facebook. To register for the car show, call 717-684-3600.
