about blindness and how the blind and visually impaired can live and work independently while giving back to their communities. The event also raised funds in support of providing outreach to assist those who have sight issues. For the event, the Hershey Lions were located at Karns Foods on Cherry Drive and at Pronio’s Market on West Caracas Avenue in Hershey. Both local businesses and their customers have been longtime supporters of White Cane Days. As far back as 1921, the white cane with a red band has been used as a means of helping blind persons to have independent mobility. Starting in 1930, Lions Clubs made and distributed white canes. Currently white cane laws are on the books of every state in the U.S. and other countries, providing blind persons a legal status in traffic. The white cane now universally acknowledges that the bearer is blind. The Hershey Lions Club provides eye exams and glasses for residents of Derry Township, large-print books for the local library, and a camper sponsorship for a blind/visually impaired camper at Beacon Lodge, located in Mount Union.

Lower Dauphin High School freshman Aidan Powell won first place in the annual Hummelstown Rotary Club Four-Way Test Writing Contest. The Four-Way Test espouses Rotary’s guiding principles as a moral code for personal and business relationships. The test asks Rotarians to consider four things prior to making a decision. They ask “Is it the truth?” and “Is it fair to all concerned?” as well as “Will it build
goodwill and better friendships?” and “Will it be beneficial to all concerned?” Powell’s essay discussed repairing, refurbishing and donating bicycles to those in need. Classmates Delanie Batula and Emily DeNotaris placed second and third, respectively. Honorable mentions included Britley Brubaker, Jack Francis, Lucy McCurdy, Abigail Perez, and Carlos Rodriguez.
