Dedication Ceremony Planned A ceremony will be held on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, to dedicate Memorial Field, the lighted baseball field at Little Hollywood Park, 393 Little Hollywood Drive, Middletown. The half-hour ceremony will begin promptly at 3 p.m. During the ceremony, Nathan Russo, a member of Boy Scout Troop 594 of Middletown, will dedicate the field to the U.S. armed forces. As his Eagle Scout project, Russo recently installed five flagpoles at the field and purchased one flag each for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. He raised more than $4,000 in donations from the community for the purchase of the flagpoles and flags as well as installation and landscaping. The ceremony is open to the public, and patriotic face masks will be given to the first 100 attendees. Reservations are not needed, but questions may be emailed to russoeagleproject@comcast.net.

Lower Dauphin Student Builds Tiny House A high school student was recently honored by Lower Dauphin Communities That Care and Hummelstown Police for doing the right thing. Emma Dickinson, a junior at Lower Dauphin High School, recognized that people come from across the country to seek treatment for Lyme disease
have distinguished themselves through their accomplishments, attitude or outstanding efforts. The program provides a way to recognize good deeds and reinforce exemplary behavior. The residents of the Lower Dauphin School District can see
with her doctor, Dr. Noonan. So she decided to build a tiny house, where patients can stay while being treated. She started the project as a freshman in high school and made major progress on constructing the house during the COVID-19 school closure. For details about the project and photos of the tiny house, readers may visit www.sites .google.com/ldsdstudents.org /teenytinyittybittyhouse/home. Nominated by her school counselor, Farren Schmidt, Emma was recognized with a $25 gift card, a Do the Right Thing T-shirt and certificate and a Papa John’s pizza coupon. This month’s program sponsor was Trefz & Bowser Funeral Home. The Do the Right Thing program is modeled after a successful national program. Now in its 14th year, the program recognizes students in the Lower Dauphin community who
the many good things the young people of their community are doing. This program allows the community to thank its children for doing the right thing. School staff members and police officers typically nominate students whose positive actions come to their attention, but any adult over the age of 18 can nominate a child. A volunteer committee reviews the student nominations on a monthly basis and selects a winner for each month. For more information, readers may contact Angela Durantine at adurantine@ldsd.org.
