When Alvin and Pauline founded Engle Printing, it was undoubtedly a partnership. Alvin was a quiet, hardworking businessman who took care of planning, pricing, and production, while Pauline, more outgoing, did the hiring and day-to-day employee management. “She could never have done it without him, and he would not have done it without her,” recalled Charlie Engle, President of EPC. After Alvin Engle passed, Pauline decided to continue the family business with her children, who all agreed that they should pursue their parents’ dream. Before Alvin’s death, plans had already been drawn up for a new building

She loved spending vacations with her siblings, her children, and her grandchildren at the beach, in Potter County, or at their cabin along the Susquehanna. Besides family, relationships with friends were also important, as she entertained and traveled with them often. When asked how he thought his mother would want to be remembered, without hesitation Dennis Engle, EPC Vice President, said, “For her strong faith.” Pauline was a member of Mount Calvary

where the company could expand. Two years after he passed, the family moved into their new facility on West Main Street. Later, a large production facility was added in West Hempfield, Lancaster County. While Pauline may not have imagined that the business would become what it did, her children had plans for further growth. “Even my father … I don’t think he ever thought that we would go from seven people to 400 employees at the high point,” Charlie said. She was proud of the company’s success, but even more so that all three of her children became actively involved in the business, each having at least one child who has chosen a career with EPC.

Church in Elizabethtown and was active singing in the choir and teaching Sunday school. She also taught Good News Club in her home. Expanding upon his mother’s Christian faith, Charlie reflected, “She would often say, ‘We have been blessed. It wasn’t just us; it was with God’s help.’” As a result, she gave back and supported many organizations in the community and beyond. Her example was the benchmark from which the Engle children carried on the business, and now the third
generation draws from their grandmother’s tenacity and unwavering faith. A memorial service honoring Pauline’s life was held at Mount Calvary Church on October 4, 2020, where the family shared fond memories of their mother, grandmother, and sister.

As a result, AJ’s now offers fresh meat and expanded produce and Goya offerings. “We created an essential list of items people need regardless of if they can be found in the surplus market,” Smiley remarked. On Sept. 25, AJ’s introduced “BinSanity,” in which bins of general merchandise are placed at the back of the store and feature decreasing prices. New items arrive on Fridays and have the highest price. By the following Thursday, the items are discounted to rock-bottom prices. “This concept is out there just not around here,” Smiley commented. AJ’s is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. Additionally, the store is open from 8 to 9 a.m. on Tuesdays for atrisk customers and seniors only.

Mobile hotspots offer a solution for individuals who do not have internet access at home. The shift to remote work and virtual school has quickly expanded the need for this service. Hotspots provide a way for community members to get online for job searches, schoolwork, and resources in the comfort of their homes. York County Libraries partnered with T-Mobile for a three-month hotspot pilot project that launched in December 2019 at Martin Library in York city and Collinsville Community Library in Brogue. The project tested if hotspots could meet the needs of residents in two very different communities, urban and rural. Both areas have their own challenges with connectivity, but the project discovered that there is a community need and demand for this service.

Mid Penn Bank Contributes $75,000 To PBCC
Rory G. Ritrievi (left) Mid Penn Bank president and CEO, and Pat Halpin-Murphy, Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC) president and founder, met on the east side of the state Capitol for a presentation of Mid Penn Bank’s $75,000 contribution to PBCC’s efforts in the ongoing fight against breast cancer.
Mid Penn Bank announced on Oct. 15 that it has contributed $75,000 to the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC). PBCC is a statewide nonprofit organization designed to extend public awareness of breast cancer and to encourage increased public and private funding for research, legislative advocacy, and high-quality screening, diagnosis and treatment. In previous years, Mid Penn
Bank has held its Celebrity Golf Tournament for Charity as the means for raising funds to support breast cancer research and patient support. This year, the event did not take place in its normal form, due to guidelines and recommendations for social gatherings in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the money was raised through celebrity friends and sponsors. See Mid Penn Bank pg 8

The Costume Shop at Millersville University (MU) is known for renting outfits and accessories for dramatic productions and private parties. Lately, however, it also has been selling items, with its most recent sale slated for Oct. 24. “We’re just clearing out some space,” said assistant manager Nick Blair, noting that the sales give the shop opportunities to cull items that have not been rented in a long time or may be nearing the ends of their lives. Lest anyone be afraid they missed out on the perfect costume, the items that have been sold are just a drop in the bucket of the shop’s inventory, leaving plenty of options for last-minute Halloween rentals. “We have upwards of 30,000 costumes, just by counting the hangers in the shop,” Blair said. MU entered the world of costume rental in 1982, and The Costume Shop has been managed by Priscilla Kaufhold since 1984. MU students assist in running the venue. The collection of garments and accessories has grown to fill five rooms on the lower level of MU’s Jefferson Hall, 164 W. Cottage Ave., Millersville. The collection is organized by theme, with the main room packed full of clothing representing many time periods and a second room dedicated to fantasy and occupations. A broad range of sizes are available, Blair said, claiming that
the shop has something to fit everybody. Blair has not noted any particular trend in styles rented for Halloween, but part of that is due to decreased rentals. With fewer festivities and decreased operating hours, The Costume Shop has not been as busy as usual. At the beginning of the year, pre-shutdown, 1920s costumes, such as gangsters and flappers, were popular because people were hosting themed parties in honor of 2020, Blair said. This time of year, Renaissance Faire outfits are popular. “If you don’t know what you’re looking for, it’s the perfect place to come and figure it out, and if you do know what you want, you can get it here,” Blair commented. “It’s a place that everybody should visit. It’s really a unique and fun place.” Due to COVID-19, The Costume Shop changed its hours and is now open by appointment on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2 to 6 p.m. and on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m. Appointments are available every half-hour. Walk-ins will be taken if appointment slots are open. To accommodate last-minute Halloween rentals, the shop will be open an additional hour at the end of the shifts on Wednesday, Oct. 28, and Friday, Oct. 30. For safety, customers are asked to wear masks during their visits. Costumes are steamed after they are tried on, and rented pieces are washed or dry cleaned, as appropriate, after they are returned.

are lent by the week for a flat fee, which includes cleaning costs, and a security deposit that is refunded when the costume is returned. To schedule an appointment, readers may call 717-871-5653 or email costumeshop@millersville
