Celebrating Independence Day with fireworks has been a longstanding tradition in Marietta. Firework displays in the borough can be traced to the 1950s, according to organizers of this year’s festivities. Marietta Fireworks became a nonprofit organization a few years ago, and a team of volunteers has ensured the annual tradition
Kelly Osborne of the Pennsylvania State Police, Troop J, Lancaster, displays Project Lifesaver equipment.
“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 batteryoperated 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. See Saving Lives pg 2
