Main Street Mount Joy To Launch Podcast BY CATHY MOLITORIS
ount Joy has a story to tell, and Dave Schell wants to tell it. Schell, executive director of Main Street Mount Joy, is working on a podcast about Mount Joy. He hopes to launch the podcast in late March or early April. Doing a podcast has been on Schell’s mind since he started at Main Street Mount Joy three years ago. “I had a lot of the older-generation residents of Mount Joy coming in and asking me if I knew what my office used to be 40 years ago,” he recalled. “They started talking about what businesses used to be at different places in Mount Joy and how Mount Joy has changed over the years. … I realized that as time goes by, all those memories could be lost.” Although Mount Joy has a historical society, Schell wanted something he could record so people
M
could listen to the history for years to come. “I had been doing videos around Mount Joy, showing the back side of a business, like how a restaurant makes food or how Twisted Bine makes beer,” he stated. “Some people don’t like to be on camera, but they are happy to talk about their business all day, so this seems like a good fit for that.” Along with spotlighting Mount Joy businesses, Schell plans to include episodes on local nonprofits, civic organizations and Mount Joy residents. “I want to introduce the public works department to the community,” he said. “I want to focus on the police force, on the Lions Club, on the library, on a variety of nonprofits. I want other people to know what these organizations do and how we all work together to make Mount Joy a better place.” See Podcast pg 4
Cindy Olweiler, from Another Chance Boutique on Main Street in Mount Joy, will be a guest on the Main Street Mount Joy podcast. She will talk about her business and her nonprofit, Angels Among Us Animal Sanctuary.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
For the past five years, Barbara Basile has been dedicating her time to promoting the programs and services of the Milanof-Schock Library. She will retire this month from her position as executive director. She said her time at the library has taught her the importance of community and the role the library plays in the lives of others. “In smaller communities like the Donegal area, we don’t have that many places where the community can gather,” she stated. “The library is one of them.” Basile came to Milanof-Schock from the Manheim Community Library. She has worked in libraries since the mid-1980s, with a focus on nonprofit administration. Her husband, David, was in the Army, and the couple traveled the world. See Librarian pg 4
