Township Police Department (MTPD) K-9 Officer Ruck, a Belgian Malinois, has been accompanying Officer Matt Bender daily since 2015. A bomb-sniffing dog, Ruck has swept planes for visiting dignitaries and successfully tracked a suspect through local woods. Recently, Ruck was introduced to two new K-9 officers who began working with MTPD handlers. K-9 Officer Odin, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, has been paired with Officer Lucas Starsinic. K-9 Officer Zeke, a 17-month-old Dutch Shepherd, works with Officer Shane Long. Both dogs are trained to detect narcotics and as patrol dogs. Their skills include building searches and tracking. Eventually, MTPD plans to have four K-9 officers on the force. According to Long, Odin and officer Zeke came from the Netherlands with some basic training before training with Starsinic and Long for five weeks in Boiling Springs. Both Odin and Zeke respond to mostly Dutch commands, while Bender gives Ruck orders in German. All three dogs are with the officers 24/7, accompanying them on daily calls and living withThethem.dogs also perform demonstrations and attend community events such as the National Night Out held at Neffsville Community Park on Aug. 2. Off-duty, Starsinic noted that dogs will be dogs. “He never settles down,” he said of Odin. “He’s wellbehaved ... but if you don’t watch him, he gets into stuff.” To help curtail some of that energy, Starsinic said the dogs are kept “busy and tired.” To keep the dogs’ skills sharp, the officers train the K-9s together twice a month in accordance with mandatory federal standards. Since Zeke and Odin are new to the force, they are still gaining experience in police work. “No major drug busts (yet),” said Starsinic, who noted that Odin was involved in an “apprehension without force.”
When Brian Boycan, senior development officer with HOPE International, visited Rwanda in July along with HOPE president Peter Greer, he met a woman named Clementine who was growing her wholesaling business with the help of the organization.“Clementine started in 2012 with a group loan of $1,000,” recounted Boycan. With that loan, Clementine bought Irish potatoes in bulk and resold them in smaller quantities.

Helping enterprising women like Clementine through microfinance and savings groups are ways HOPE helps change narratives. HOPE also teaches farmers to be good stewards of the land. Jeff Rutt, who founded the organization 25 years ago, was recently in Ukraine. He said that HOPE has been helping farmers there with expenses and focusing on relief, restructuring, and rebuilding. Since the invasion, he noted, “the needs are great and the opportunities to help are incredible.”HOPEis at work in 17 countries helping create financial solvency through sustainable businesses. According to Boycan, the organization has served 2.4 million people since its inception.Paige Snyder, events planner with HOPE, added that aiding those 2.4 million translates to $1.5 billion in loans.

BY ANN MEAD ASH When Paul Murr, Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) marching band director, and his staff choose a fall show, they know the program will have a certain type of theme.
Lancaster Catholic High School marching band members practiced the music and drill of “The Promise of Living” during band camp. Majs. Sue and Tom Hinzman have been appointed to lead The Salvation Army Lancaster Citadel. The Hinzmans have served as officers in The Salvation Army for the past 34 years in places such as northeast Ohio, central Kentucky, greater New York and eastern Pennsylvania. In 2019, Sue and Tom were presented with the “Key to the City” in Lexington, Ky., for their service and leadership in that community. Sue has served as a coach and mentor for younger officers. She homeschooled all three of her and Tom’s children from elementary school through high school while maintaining her full-time ministry as a Salvation Army officer.Tom was selected as one of Mahoning Valley’s Most Influential People in Youngstown, Ohio, and received the Man of the Year Award in Salem, Ohio. Later he received the Paul Harris Fellow Award from the Salem Ohio Rotary Club for his outstanding service to the community. He has led emergency disaster teams from northeast Ohio in disasters such as the 1993 flood in St. Louis; the 1994 USAir Flight 427 crash near Aliquippa; 9/11 at Ground Zero; and journeystartedmarriedtogether,highAfterBeaverandwere2005.Rouge,KatrinaHurricaneinBatonLa.,inSueandTombothbornraisedinFalls.attendingschooltheyandtheirasone in ministry and mission in The Salvation Army. They entered The Salvation Army’s School for Officers’ Training in 1986 and were commissioned and ordained as officers in They1988.have three sons - Jeremy, Brennen and Christopher - and five grandchildren.
“We always choose something religious because that’s what the school is and the message (should be),” said Murr. This year’s show, “The Promise of Living,” will focus on the early days of the Old Testament, touching on the story of Noah and the covenant. The first song, “The Promise of Living” by Aaron Copland, opens with a mellophone solo by River Olmsted, while the spotlight is on Emma Townshend performing a color guard solo with a 6-foot flag. The song builds into “Dies Irae” by Giuseppe Verdi. “(The title) means ‘death march,’” said Lydia Fuhrman, band vice president, who added, “It’s a contrast to the first piece.” The third song is “Rainbow Connection,” written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher and made famous by Kermit the Frog. According to band president Annabelle Kiefer, while the second movement represents the storm and Noah’s ark, the third pays homage to God’s promise as symbolized by the rainbow representing hope for the future. Nicolletta Kiefer performs a color guard solo in “Rainbow Connection,” accompanied by a tenor sax solo. The song will also features an alto saxophone solo by Sam Parrish. The show concludes with “Appalachian Morning” by Paul Halley. Alix Maumus is the featured twirler.During camp, which was held from Aug. 8 through 12 at the school, more than 40 band members, including color guards, braved the warm temperatures while working to learn the music and the drill. One particular challenge was the unusual and uneven steps on the final song. To keep morale up, theme days were held. Monday was class color day, and Tuesday was beach day, when the students dressed in Hawaiian shirts and other beach attire. Wednesday was crazy hat and sock day. One student actually wore a banana costume for part of the day. Thursday was NASA day, and Friday was section theme day, where each section was encouraged to choose a theme and dress accordingly. In addition, students took time out to play kickball and have fun with water balloons.

Sweigart is friends with John Wagner, a member of the board of The Potter’s House, a nonprofit organization that offers a holistic approach to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of pre-release and post-release prisoners and individuals desiring to overcome addictions. Knowing the organization’s focus, Sweigart nominated it to receive support from the Legacy of Caring Fund.InJuly, Sweigart presented a check for $6,500 to Lanny Millette, director of donor relations with The Potter’s House. “I was happy to nominate (The Potter’s House),” said“WeSweigart.sureappreciate it,” replied Millette, who noted that the funds will be used to help build up the program aspects that help men and women to be self-sufficient citizens again. “We are working on both curriculum and staffing,” reported Millette. “We are seeing positive improvements in student outcomes.”ThePotter’s House was started in Leola by executive director Lloyd Hoover.

To remedy this, the program works to teach life skills, including financial management and how to negotiate interpersonal relationships.

To raise money for the foundation, campers sold lemonade and cookies to their fellow campers, their families, staff members and teachers.Campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool at College Hill donated more than $100 to Lancaster County Community Foundation, which supports more than 500 local organizations and works to better the community for generations to come.

“Because of community support, we’re able to prioritize making sure service is available for anyone.” Hospice is a locally owned nonprofit hospice center. “We fulfill patients’ goals and wishes and help to keep them comfortable,” said Lewis. “It gives the rest of the family a chance to just be there for their loved one without worrying about providing care to them.” For more information, hospicecommunity.org.contactwww.hospicecommunity.orgvisitorLewisatalewis@ Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be available to be purchased at the auction.
The annual Labor Day Auction will be held on Saturday, Sept. 3, and Monday, Sept. 5, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Solanco Fairgrounds, 101 Park Ave., Quarryville. The rain-or-shine event, which has been held for the past 38 years at various locations, will benefit Hospice & Community Care. Admission and parking will be free. Both days of the auction will begin with food that is made from scratch and sold by members of the Amish community. Handmade doughnuts, sticky buns, pretzel logs and more will be provided by multiple local families as a way to give back to Hospice & Community Care for the services it offers the area. “Hospice cares for several Amish community members. Patients and their families are able to stay at home and dictate the care they want,” said Amy Lewis, director of philanthropy for Hospice & Community Care. “It’s very significant the Amish community can help us in that way. Their food sales account for a huge portion of the auction’s revenue each year, and their milkshakes are rival to none.”
Both lunch and dinner will also be available to purchase later in the day. Multiple specialty auctions will begin following breakfast, held simultaneously throughout the day in five separate buildings. The auctions will not be limited to one category; the event will include auctions for tools, gift baskets, gently used items, handmade quilts and sports memorabilia, to name only a few. “You can find anything you could possibly think of,” said Lewis. “If you aren’t interested in an auction, you can just pop into the next building and find so many different things.” Three cars will be auctioned this year, and previous years’ auctions have seen the sale of boats, jet skis and campers. At 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 5, a winner’s name will be drawn for a giveaway of a 2022 Ford Mustang: tickets to enter may be purchased at theForevent.those interested in supporting Hospice & Community Care without purchasing an item at an auction, the event will offer an opportunity to purchase a “day of care” from the organization. The purchase will fund an entire day of service for a patient in hospiceThecare.auction is the largest fundraiser for Hospice & Community Care and raised over $800,000 last year. “Our decisions about who we’ll care for don’t have to be made based on how patients can pay for care,” said Lewis.

Blues Fest Set In East Petersburg
Several aspects of the blues fest have been improved upon or added in recent years. Most recently, the amphitheater was introduced to the park, providing a large stage where musicians can perform. Audio equipment is supplied by Phil Kresge. “He really helps us out. It makes a huge difference in the quality of the sound when bringing in bands from outside of our own state and community,” said Troop. For more information, Festival”orwww.eastpetersburgday.comvisitsearchfor“EastPeteBluesonFacebook.
blues fest is a fun day of free music that we’ve been hosting for the last 11 years,” said Randy Bucksner, the event promoter. “I’m a saxophone player and very involved with the blues scene. I’m always discovering new acts that I think people will enjoy at the blues fest.” Attendees are invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets to the park for theTheevent.East Pete Blues Fest was first conceived by a former mayor of East Petersburg and avid blues fan. Over the last decade, the event has served to highlight local musicians in addition to connecting East Petersburg to other music scenes up and down the East Coast. “My favorite thing about the blues fest is just seeing people sitting together, meeting new faces from other communities and enjoying everything it has to offer,” said Kristin Troop, the event organizer. “It’s a different piece of something we can offer the community, and it highlights our amphitheater. We love sharing the beautiful park with others.”

Middle schools and manufacturers of any size in nine southcentral Pennsylvania counties, including Lancaster, York, and Dauphin, are invited to participate.Thisfree program seeks to show participating seventhand eighth-graders that manufacturers offer many pathways to employment in modern production environments. The contest provides students a hands-on learning opportunity outside the normal school day, exposes them to the world of manufacturing, engages both their analytical and creative skills to create content, and seeks to help address longterm workforce issues. The contest also addresses a key element of equity: access to resources. Students of all academic abilities and financial circumstances can learn about pathways to family-sustaining jobs.Manufacturers gain the opportunity to show off their operations, build camaraderie among employees, and reinforce the significance of manufacturing to the next generation. Educators receive a free turnkey career exploration activity with a lesson plan that meets PDE requirements as an artifact in student Chapter 339 folders. Additionally, the community receives exposure across the region and state as the student/manufacturer videos are promoted and recognized.
The registration deadline is Monday, Sept. 26. For more information or to register a school or business, visit www.mantec.org. To learn more about the statewide contest, visit www.whatsso cool.org or contact Cindi Moses at cindi@mantec.org or 717-341-4312.
