Putting Old Glory To Rest BY CATHY MOLITORIS
According to the United States Flag Code, “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” When a flag becomes faded, tattered or torn, it may be ready for retirement, and the Boy Scouts can help. Troop 47 in Manheim held a flag retirement ceremony on June 17 at Scout Hall,
located between North Hazel and North Linden streets on Scout Alley. “Retirement of the American flag is important for honoring what the flag represents and means to everyone,” said Scoutmaster Corby Rhodes. The troop, which consists of 13 boys from the Manheim Central School District, has been retiring flags for years. The most recent ceremony marked the second year the troop held the event at Scout Hall during the week of Flag Day. See Old Glory pg 6

Leo was one of 17 girls who participated in All ’bout Construction Girls Camp, held at ABC Keystone in Manheim. The June camp, for girls ages 14 to 19, offered handson opportunities to learn about the construction industry. This is the second year for the camp, which provides individualized instruction as well as group field trips. “We’re always striving to increase diversity in our industry,” said Stephanie Larkin, vice president of education, safety and workforce development for ABC Keystone. “We wanted to give girls a chance to see what the construction industry is all about.” During the week, the campers created projects under the instruction of ABC’s director of plumbing as well as HVAC, electrical and carpentry instructors.

They were assisted by volunteers from ABC Keystone’s apprenticeship program, all of whom were female. “It’s been really nice to help out with the camp and teach the girls a little bit of everything,” said Priscilla Milanes, who is entering her third year as a carpentry apprentice. “I’m even learning new things. I wish they had this camp when I was in high school.” The campers went on three field trips during the week, where they had the opportunity to see various stages of construction projects. They visited Manheim Central High School, where they saw the beginning of a project, a senior living center in York where work was well underway and a health care facility in Lancaster that was nearing completion. ABC Keystone worked with The Farfield Company, Wohlsen Construction and Warfel Construction in arranging the field trips.
