On March 12, Rick Bernhardt, senior administrator of Lititz Christian School (LCS), breathed a sigh of relief. The

Operating a business is a strenuous venture in the best of circumstances, and with the current economic climate, local entrepreneurs are being strained and stretched even more. But that has not stopped some tenacious Lancaster County residents from pushing forward with new or expanding businesses. LaundrE-town on Market in Elizabethtown is one such emerging endeavor. After more than a year of renovation and progress, the fully renovated, modern laundromat was slated for an April 1 grand opening, but state mandated closures postponed the final stages of completion.

Bryanna Still has always loved music. “I began my interest in music at a really young age,” said Bryanna. “I grew up listening to soulful old rhythm and blues and a lot of ’70s and ’80s music. Having that start really inspired me to be passionate about music.” In the fall, the Dayspring Christian Academy senior will head to Edinboro University in northern Pennsylvania to begin a double major in art and music therapy, an ambitious eight-year program that will earn her a doctorate in those subject areas. Bryanna’s journey to this point has not been likely, but her talents, love of art and music, and

Marisa Seubert, marketing and development coordinator with Lancaster EMS, knew that many of the emergency medical services families could not be together on Mother’s Day. Thinking about that inspired her to consider what could be done for mothers this year. By partnering with Worship Center and Whole Foods Market, Seubert was able to make Mother’s Day special for some of the organization’s first responders. On May 10 at 9 a.m., Seubert and Lancaster EMS board member Dick Moriarty picked up bouquets of flowers at Whole Foods. Each bouquet was paired with a prayer note and a gift card donated by members of Worship Center, and then the flowers were delivered to the Lancaster EMS station located at 1829 Lincoln Highway East, See Lancaster EMS pg 5
