Donegal High School (DHS) celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2022 on June 2. Student speakers shared advice with their classmates, and students were recognized for their achievements throughout high school.

Class president Ryan Bedi was the first in a series of students to address the audience. “For this small moment in time, we are all gathered here to end one journey and start a new one,” he said. “Each of the little moments through school helped define who each of us is sitting here today.” He then led the class on an imaginary bus ride through the past 12 years

of school, recalling fond memories along the way.

Hunter Gehman was named valedictorian. After graduation, he will attend Bucknell University to study engineering. He acknowledged the effect the pandemic had on the class and how the members of the Class of 2022 learned to adapt. “We’re prepared for anything the world will throw at us,” he noted. “We’re prepared to do more than simply sit back and react to the world changing around us. We are also prepared to catalyze change ourselves.”

Diavionne Musser was recognized as salutatorian. She plans to attend Temple University to study genetic counseling. She encouraged her fellow classmates to focus on growth as they make the transition from high school to adulthood. She also highlighted the positives to come out of the past few years when many events and activities were canceled due to the pandemic. “By learning to savor the small things in life, many of us have found much more joy in our senior year and we will grow to find more joy in the future,” she stated. “Additionally, by having time alone to reflect, many of us have discovered our true passions that have now shaped our plans for the future.”

Principal John Haldeman spoke to the Class of 2022, recalling, “Going into the 2018-19 school year, DHS was given fair warning that the incoming class was a handful. Yes, the Class of 2022 had earned a reputation as not only being the biggest class in the Donegal School District … but also a challenging group.” He noted that the class soon

settled into high school and added, “I am proud to say that I have had the last four years to get to know you and watch you grow.” He then joked that he reviewed thousands of Instagram reels to find advice for the Class of 2022 before settling on three themes: enjoy life, live a happy life and start a family and have kids. “Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual,” he said, “Life is dynamic and ever-changing. … Class of 2022, please remember we do love you and you will always be a member of our tribe.”

State zip codes used to determine who gets valuable Morgan Silver Dollars issued by the U.S. Gov’t over 100 years ago and sealed away in three pound U.S. Coin Bags that have never been searched

Who gets the Morgan Silver Dollars: Only PA residents who find their zip code listed on the Distribution List below are getting the Gov’t issued coins. If you find your zip code listed below call: 1-800-867-0152 UMD523

“The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for Federated Mint.

That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars, some worth up to 100 times their face value, means unsearched Bank Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication.

“But don’t thank the Government. As U.S. Coin and Currency Director for Federated Mint I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars to the general public – I’m being asked, how much are the unsearched Bank Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and contains 50 Morgan Silver Dollars and just one coin alone, could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value according to The Official Red Book, A Guide Book of United States Coins. So, there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $2900 these unsearched Bank Bags are a

UNSEARCHED: Each Bank Bag contains 50 U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars. Each coin is verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above and the dates and mint marks are never searched by Federated Mint to determine collector value. steal since everyone who misses the deadline must pay $4000 for each bag,” said Lynne.

“These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These are rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars some dating back to the 1800’s so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with 50 U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Lynne.

The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Coin Claim Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends.

This is very important. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $4000 for residents who miss the deadline, but for those Pennsylvania residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Bank Bag fee is just $2900 as long as they call the National Coin Claim Hotline before the deadline ends.

“Remember this, we cannot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with 50 U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Lynne.

The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 AM this morning. That’s because each unsearched Bank Bag is loaded with nothing but U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars some dating clear back to the 1800’s.

“With all these collectible U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars up for grabs we’re going to do our best to answer all the calls,” said Lynne.

Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the Unsearched Bank Bags. That means U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars found inside.

Just be sure to call before the 48hour deadline ends.

SNEAK PEAK INSIDE VAULT: The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at 8:30 AM this morning when the vaults open for Pennsylvania residents to claim unsearched Bank Bags. It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched bags loaded with Morgan Silver Dollars issued by the Gov’t over 100 years ago could be worth someday. That’s because each Bank Bag contains 50 Morgan Silver Dollars some dating clear back to the 1800’s. And here’s the best part. After the deadline each Bank Bag fee is set for $4000, but Pennsylvania residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication and beat the deadline cover just $2900 which is a real steal for these unsearched Bank Bags.

“Project Lifesaver is for people who have cognitive impairment that makes them prone to wander,” said Kelly Osborne, community services officer and Project Lifesaver coordinator with the Pennsylvania State Police, Troop J, Lancaster County. Now that the State Police officers serving in Lancaster are affiliated with Project Lifesaver, the service is available in all areas of the county. Individuals who are enrolled with Project Lifesaver wear a bracelet connected to a transmitter set to a designated radio frequency assigned to that person. If the individual wanders, the battery-operated device emits a signal that can be traced by law enforcement. “Should a (participant) go missing, the caregiver calls a local police department. (Police officers) plug in the frequency to pick up that specific transmitter,” explained Osborne, who noted that the equipment utilizes analog radio frequency because of its reliability. Osborne added that use of the system minimizes time and resources, needed to locate someone, and when it is employed, most participants who wander are found within 30 minutes.

In Lancaster County, Project Lifesaver was initiated by The Pilot Club of Lancaster, a service organization, in 2008. Pilot Club members connected with Chief Mark Pugliese of the West Hempfield Township Police Department. In 2012, the project launched from that location.

Full membership police agencies that house Project Lifesaver equipment, in addition to West Hempfield, are the Lancaster City Bureau, Elizabethtown Borough, Lititz Borough, Manheim Township, New Holland/Earl Township, Strasburg Borough, and West Lampeter Township. Other areas of Lancaster County are covered by Troop J, located at 2099 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster. The program is funded by The Pilot Club and Camp Cadet of Lancaster County.

Osborne noted that people with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, autism, Down syndrome, or traumantic brain injury are good candidates for this life-saving technology. Noting that many of these individuals are cared for at home, she said, “Because of their conditions, it is imperative that (these individuals) are found quickly. This program is like an additional safety net.”

Families of Project Lifesaver participants complete an interview process and sign a contract saying they will abide by obligations, such as testing the bracelet battery daily. There is a cost to cover equipment, but Osborne noted that scholarships are available. “We don’t want to turn anyone away because of finances,” said Osborne.

To enroll an individual with Project Lifesaver, readers may call 443-224-0569 or 717572-2682.

Piano Students Present Recital

The piano students of Carole Bubacz and Sharon Boyer presented a recital on May 22 at Christ Church United Church of Christ in Elizabethtown. The students reside in the Lampeter-Strasburg, Donegal, and Elizabethtown Area school districts.

Music from the Baroque Period through the 20th century was presented for the students’ family members and friends. Show tunes and compositions for young pianists were also included.

The pianists were Dominic Juarbe, Taylar McFaddin, Stewart Carter, Sarah Heinz, Lindsay Shaud, and Lillian Stehmen. Duo piano selections were presented by Lindsay and Bubacz, as well as Sarah and Bubacz.

Sarah, who studies violin with Jill Placeway, played an unaccompanied violin solo. Stewart gave a demonstration of one-handed playing. Lillian, a senior, was honored for completing 14 years of piano study.
