Asked how it feels to receive the Merlin Award, known as the most prestigious award in magic, given by the International Magicians Society (IMS), Brett Myers of the Magic and Wonder Theater in Paradise was characteristically modest. “As a kid, I looked up to magicians I saw on television … David Copperfield, Siegfried & Roy, or Penn and Teller and then to have won an award they have won is extremely humbling.” See Magician pg 5

Lt. Jennifer Brubaker (left) and Pilot Club member Cathy Cieslinski serve the community with Project Lifesaver.
Before Project Lifesaver came to Lancaster County on Oct. 20, 2012, an elderly man wandered from his home during the winter. Much effort was put into finding him, but he was not located until a day or two later. He had passed away 250 feet behind his home. “If he would have had a working wristband from Project Lifesaver, we more than likely would have found him,” stated Pilot Club of Lancaster member Cathy Cieslinski. “Project Lifesaver is all about bringing your loved ones home, and we
saw a need in our county. Implementing this program in our county was important to our club.” Project Lifesaver is a search-andrescue program to locate at-risk individuals who wander. Its mission is to use state-of-the-art technology in assisting those who care for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism, developmental disorders, Down syndrome, and other brainrelated challenges across the United States. According to Project Lifesaver’s data, in over 3,400 searches, Project Lifesaver has achieved a 100% success rate on an average of less than 30 minutes.
