“You show up with a friend or come alone and make a friend,” said Kathi Markley, a member of the Lancaster Road Runners Club. Markley was referencing the annual free Christmas Eve Run the club has held for about two decades. Markley wants those considering taking part to know that they will have company along the route no matter what their pace. “There are faster people (and) middle-of-the-pack runners and people who meander slowly,” she said. “You don’t have to feel like you have to be an Olympic-caliber athlete (to take part).” Markley and other club members have planned this year’s run to begin with runners meeting near the steps of the Lancaster Dispensing Company,
33-35 N. Market St., Lancaster, adjacent to Central Market, at 8:45 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 24. The run will begin at 9 a.m. Runners need not be club members to join in the event. According to Markley, the run follows a course that is a modified version of the Red Rose Run. “(The Red Rose Run) normally starts in Binns Park area,” explained Markley, “but this starts near Central Market and loops through Lancaster County Park.” She noted that the course, which runs downhill on Duke Street, is about 4 miles in length. “There is a flat section through County Park, and if you’re running with a friend and chatting it goes by quickly,” she said. “Coming back there’s a change of climb.” Markley added that there is a group of members who often walk the
course. See Road Runners pg 8
Members and friends of the Lancaster Road Runners Club will gather once again on the steps of the Lancaster Dispensing Company for a special free Christmas Eve Run, with participants meeting at 8:45 a.m. on Dec. 24. Interested area residents are welcome to take part in the 4-mile jaunt.

The club is overseen by a ninemember board, of which Dan Chultz is a member. “Christmas is a very sensitive time for anybody in recovery,� said Chultz. “We start at noon on Christmas Eve with a kickoff, and we have a meeting starting each hour for 24 hours.� According to Chultz, each meeting is chaired by a different club member. “(The format) provides people with a chance to share their experiences or issues with family and friends,� said Chultz. “The whole holiday season, beginning with Thanksgiving, is difficult for someone in recovery because it triggers so many emotions and that can be difficult to handle,�
we have a picnic and we invite the neighbors to socialize and see what we’re all about.� He noted that, which the exception of the ALCATHON, most club activities end by 9 or 10 p.m. According to Chultz, the 521 Club, which offers membership to anyone who has accumulated 30 days of continuous sobriety, serves as an important stepping stone for those facing the challenges of staying in recovery. “We provide a way for people in recovery to realize they can lead a normal life, have fun, be involved with people, and do things that don’t involve substance abuse,� he said.

For traditional tinsmith Karen Hurd, the number of ideas she has for artwork outweighs the hours in a day. “It’s endless what you can do with tin. There are so many ideas in my head that I’ll have to live another two or three lifetimes to try them all,” said Hurd, who resides in Quarryville. Bringing ideas to life through artwork is one of life’s greatest joys for Hurd, who said that whenever she steps into her workshop it makes her feel like saying, “I’m home!” “It’s where I belong,” shared Hurd. Hurd has been creating tin wares for decades, and some of her tin ornaments were even used in the White House holiday décor during the Clinton presidency - an opportunity that presented itself after her work was displayed at the American Folk Museum in New York City. Hurd will be among the local and regional artists exhibiting original wares at the 2018 Christmas Folk Art Show at the Manheim Historical Society Railroad Station, 210 S. Charlotte St., Manheim. The annual show is set to take place from 3 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 14, and from 10 a.m.

Convert To Code from pg 1 is required, and interested individuals may sign up at http:// convert2code.com/#!/holidayhack. What exactly is a hackathon? Caleb Weaver, who founded Convert to Code with Danae Martin, explained it as a coding marathon where a person may convert his or her ideas and passions into code and build whatever they wish. Hack, by definition, means “to achieve novel and clever outcomes by creatively overcoming limitations of software systems.” Organizers encourage anyone who is interested to attend, whether they are experienced coders or have never seen a line of code. Code mentors, introductory workshops, and code starter packs will be available for anyone just starting out. Attendees should bring a laptop (not a tablet), a charger, and snacks, and they should be ready to use their imagination. When Weaver first approached Martin about starting Convert to Code, he wanted to host hackathon events throughout the year. “However, we quickly learned that we would be able to better serve the community by instead hosting free workshops to expose our participants to coding and computer science,” said Weaver. Weaver and Martin, who both graduated from Manheim Central High School in 2017, began hosting
free computer programming workshops for the community in 2017. The coding mentors and instructors at all of the Convert to Code workshops are all local software engineers and developers who volunteer their time. “To see some wild idea you have begin to materialize and turn from an abstract idea into a concrete organization is honestly a blessing,” shared Weaver. “Being able to sit down and look at our numbers for our first year, we reached over 150 people in over 22 school districts throughout the Lancaster, Lebanon, and York areas, which, of course, is just huge.” Since Convert to Code has now hosted numerous workshops and established more connections throughout the local area, Weaver and Martin revisited the idea of hosting a hackathon this year. “We felt we had enough momentum as an organization to go through with it,” Weaver said. “I always liked the idea of a Christmas- or holiday-themed hackathon.” Individuals who are interested in volunteering with Convert to Code may email converttocode@ gmail.com. “We are always in need of new teachers and teacher assistants for our monthly workshops (and) connections to local groups and organizations who can help spread awareness,” noted Weaver.

Transportation for Columbia residents can be arranged upon request. Volunteers will drive a van provided by St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church to pick up and drop off senior citizens in need of a ride to the meal. Friends Helen Bechtold and Sis Luzader, who organize the event and are known as the Columbia-Lancaster Christmas Ladies, emphasized that the event is made possible thanks to donations from area businesses, organizations, and individuals. In addition to a free meal, each attendee will receive a food bag filled with groceries and pantry staples to take home. Door prizes will also be available for folks to win. “One lady who won a $100 gift card last year cried when her name was picked, and she wanted to share it,” recalled Bechtold. “Sometimes the hardest part about being alone is not having anyone give you a gift. I know one lady who said she wraps a gift for herself every year.” Approximately 100 senior citizens from throughout Lancaster and York counties attended last year’s Christmas meal. For Bechtold and Luzader, the vision for the meal is simply to ensure that no one spends Christmas alone. After working together on the Christmas meal for so many

years, the pair has established a rhythm and routine for coordinating all of the details something they start working on in September. Luzader’s mother was the original cook for the meal but later confidently passed the reins on to her. “She always volunteered for things,” Luzader shared. “And now all of my kids and grandkids get involved with this, too.” “We’ve never ever missed a Christmas, even one year when there was at least 10 inches of snow,” Luzader remarked. “We’re like the post office,” added Bechtold with a laugh. “It’s a lot of running around and a lot of work, but it’s worth it when you see the people’s faces.” A crew of faithful volunteers work together to make the event possible, and new volunteers are always welcome. Columbia resident Chuck Kloidt has been serving at the meal since it began. On Christmas Eve, members of the Donegal High School wrestling team help to set up the fire hall and prepare the food bags. This year, one person donated all of the paper supplies - from tablecloths to plates to napkins. A local greenhouse donates poinsettias to decorate the space. “We depend on the community, and they really respond,” said Luzader.
Trees Planted Within City The Lancaster City Alliance and community members of all ages planted 35 trees recently in areas of Lancaster city with little to no greenery. The trees will create a dramatic new entrance to the city’s southern gateway at South Queen Street and Highland Avenue. The tree planting is one part of the South Prince & South Queen Streets Neighborhood Enhancement Project, led by Lancaster City Alliance. The overall project includes improvements to fronts of homes, Adopt-A-Block participation, placement of sidewalk trash cans, and 100 trees for the neighborhood. The project stems from requests from neighbors and is part of recommendations in the city’s Building on Strength Economic Development Strategic Plan. The recently planted trees were made possible through many groups working together to benefit the city. This includes Lancaster City Alliance, City of Lancaster, Community Action Partnership, and Lancaster Tree Tenders. Funding was provided by the High Family Foundation and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ TreeVitalize Program.

and it made history come to life in a fun and creative way,” said Henry. The students were each required to read a book from the Penguin Books “Who Was?” series, which tells the stories of trailblazers, legends, innovators, and creators. The students wrote and memorized a paragraph highlighting the important details of their subject’s life. To showcase their artistic ability, students worked in class to create a background mural for their figure. The final step was for students - with the help of their parents - to create a costume for their characters to wear in
the wax museum. The wax museum was constructed in the gym with students having their own designated areas with their murals behind them. Students stood behind podiums with “play” buttons, and as parents, faculty, and fellow students visited the museum and pressed the play buttons, the third-graders recited the biographic information about their subjects. This is the third year for the wax museum project, which has become a favorite activity for the third-graders. Pictured on front: The St. Anne School’s Third-Grade
Historical Wax Museum included presentations by (front, from left) Zoe Thurmond (Jane Austen), Leah Meloy (Sacagawea), Annabelle McFee (Jane Goodall), (second row) Maria Scott (Eleanor Roosevelt), Annie Verrelli (Rachel Carson), Emma Fox (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton), Ava Richter (Amelia Earhart), Jack Comerford (Derek Jeter), Monica Algeo (Helen Keller), Levi Hockley (Walt Disney), and Lily Corvelle (Milton Hershey).

Tabor Receives Reaccreditation Tabor Community Services recently achieved national reaccreditation through the Council on Accreditation (COA) for the fifth consecutive time. Organizations pursue accreditation to demonstrate the implementation of best practice standards in the field of human services. COA evaluated all aspects of Tabor’s programs, services, management, and administration. Tabor has been accredited since 1998. COA accreditation is an objective, independent validation of an agency’s performance. The process involves a detailed review and
analysis of an organization’s administration, management, and service delivery functions as compared to international standards of best practice. The standards driving accreditation are designed to ensure that services are wellcoordinated, culturally competent, evidence-based, outcomes-oriented, and provided by a skilled and supported workforce. To achieve COA reaccreditation, Tabor first provided written evidence of compliance with the COA standards. After that, a group of specially trained volunteer peer reviewers confirmed adherence to
these standards during a series of on-site interviews with trustees, staff, and clients. Based on their findings, COA’s volunteer-based Accreditation Commission voted that Tabor Community Services had successfully met the criteria for reaccreditation. For the past 50 years, Tabor has been helping clients learn how to meet their housing and financial challenges, rebuild their lives, and contribute to the strength of the Lancaster community in the process. Tabor’s comprehensive array of programs and services include rapid re-housing for those

Haunted Lantern Tour To Return With “Mortality Within” in” By Chelsea Peifer
Sara Mimnall and Rebecca Wright chose the theme of “Mortality Within” for Columbia’s Haunted Lantern Tour this year because they wanted to introduce people to a not-often-talked-about aspect of the rivertown’s history. The theme will focus on the disease and poverty that struck Columbia and other communities in earlier days, discussing the presence of pesthouses and sanitariums and how much things have changed. “It shows how people suffered more than they had to because they didn’t have the
like we do now,” noted Mimnall. “It will also touch on the Great Depression and how the lack of food (and resources) can change people,” Wright added. Popular characters from past years will also reappear, Wright said, such as William Campbell, a local trapper who died from rabies and is buried in Columbia’s historic Mount Bethel Cemetery. History abounds in the cemetery and the town, and according to Mimnall and Wright, while spooky elements are intertwined on the tour, history is indeed the emphasis. The hourlong guided tours will take place on Friday and Saturday

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has modernized its online Customer Care Center - www.cust omercare.penndot.gov - to make it easier to report concerns on state-maintained roadways with new mapping capabilities, optional photo uploads, and a mobile-friendly interface. The purpose of the new Customer Care Center is to make it easier for members of the public to share their concerns or feedback. The modernized service sorts concerns into categories: road or bridge conditions; removing something from a roadway; traffic, signs, or signals; ongoing roadwork or projects; or general questions and concerns. Users can map their current location to document a concern or choose an address or roadway, as well as other relevant location information, and even upload photos related to the concern. These descriptions will provide better information for PennDOT staff and can reduce the amount of time needed to gather more information from customers submitting concerns. As of Sept. 30, the previous Customer Care Center had nearly 45,000 concerns submitted this
year. More than 96 percent of those concerns have been resolved. Motorists are asked to be as specific as possible when providing locations of concerns. Motorists should report the county, municipality, street name, and state route number, which can be found on small black and white signs posted along state highways. In addition, a description of any familiar landmarks would be helpful for PennDOT to locate the problem area. Maintenance concerns will be corrected as soon as possible. Emergency road repairs, such as road wash-outs, are handled on a top-priority basis. Concerns may also be reported through 800-FIX-ROAD (800349-7623), though the number should not be used to report traffic accidents, disabled vehicles, or other emergencies. Motorists should continue to call 911 to report these types of emergencies. Customers with questions or concerns related to driver or vehicle services should visit www.dmv.pa.gov. For concerns related to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, readers should visit www.paturnpike.com.

Molla Installed As PCA&D President Michael R. Molla was installed as the third president of Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D) in a special ceremony on Oct. 30 at the Ware Center as part of a day of celebration for PCA&D’s engagement in Lancaster city. In the morning, all PCA&D students, plus faculty, staff members and trustees, took part in PCA&D & Lancaster: Creative Community Engagement. The participants worked on 17 engagement projects using art and design in problem solving to assist area community organizations. The event was bookended by a kickoff breakfast, featuring community engagement tips from Michael Bunting of Lancaster’s The Stone School, and a celebratory lunch. The presidential installation ceremony in the afternoon began with a parade of regalia-robed faculty, staff members, students and trustees making their way from PCA&D to the Ware Center. The ceremony focused on PCA&D’s history and future, and it featured Molla’s chosen theme of
“&,” the ampersand, a symbol of forging, building and deepening connections. The program reintroduced PCA&D to the Lancaster community and arts community and told the story of the importance of arts in the community. Special speakers were Deana Haggag, president and CEO of United States Artists; Fred Lazarus IV, president emeritus of Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA); and the Hon. Danene Sorace, mayor of Lancaster city. The event also included a video message from Samuel “Sammy” Hoi, president of Maryland Institute College of Art. Afterward, the PCA&D family and members of the Lancaster community gathered at PCA&D for a celebration that included food from the many traditions represented in Lancaster, along with music. All elements of the celebration related specifically to Lancaster. Molla said that his alma mater, Anna Maria College in Paxton, Mass., was like PCA&D in being a small, focused, personal college
that emphasizes individual student’s needs, active learning and mentorship. Molla served at MICA for a total of 26 years and led the college in the areas of student affairs, operations and strategic initiatives. As the associate vice president of student affairs, he launched MICA’s first residence life program and established a student affairs division for the college, which included on-site counseling and health care services, as well as diversity and safety initiatives. As vice president of operations, Molla was responsible for the development of the Campus Master Plan, including the design and construction of resident facilities; numerous academic, studio and shop spaces; a center for graduate education; and, most recently, an undergraduate design center. In the vice president of strategic initiatives position, Molla was responsible for strengthening the relationship between MICA and the city of Baltimore, including facilitating new urban initiatives to engage the community in support

Farmland Trust Holds Annual Dinner Lancaster Farmland Trust celebrated its 30th anniversary at its annual dinner on Oct. 23. More than 230 friends, farmers and supporters attended to honor three decades of land preservation in Lancaster County. The event, which was held at the Eden Resort and Suites, raised $150,000 for farmland preservation in Lancaster County. Event attendees heard from Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding about the value of farmland and the partnership that has been forged between county government and Lancaster Farmland Trust to save farmland. Redding and state Rep. Keith Greiner presented citations to Lancaster Farmland Trust in recognition of 30 years of farmland preservation. The highlight of the evening was Lancaster Farmland Trust’s annual Acres for Auction at which attendees entered “bids” to
preserve a farm. During this year’s successful “auction,” the organization raised enough money to preserve a 155-acre farm in West Cocalico Township. In the past year, Lancaster Farmland Trust preserved 10 farms. Five of those farm families were on hand to accept a token of appreciation for their commitment to farmland preservation. During the evening’s festivities, the Trust honored its other contributors and volunteers. The Amos Funk Spirit of Cooperation Award was presented to the Ressler Mill Foundation for its support of farmland preservation in the Mill Creek watershed. The Benefactor of the Year Award was awarded to G. Donald and Marilyn Hess for their leadership support of the Trust’s current and future programs. The Darvin Boyd Service to Agriculture Award was presented to Frank Ludwig, longtime volunteer

One of the many damaging effects that diabetes can have is on vision. Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in adults. November was declared by Prevent Blindness as Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month to educate the public on the effects of diabetes on vision, risk factors, and treatment options. Prevent Blindness offers a variety of free resources dedicated to the education of diabetic eye disease at www.preventblindness.org. Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when blood sugar levels are constantly high and can
cause serious health complications, including heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and blindness. The National Eye Institute states that people with diabetes are 25 times more likely to become blind than those without diabetes. Additionally, African-Americans have a 40 percent higher frequency of severe visual impairment caused by diabetic retinopathy as compared with whites, as well as twice the rate of blindness. Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye problems that people with diabetes may face as a complication of this disease including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema (DME), cataract, and glaucoma. A leading cause of blindness in American adults, diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to the small blood vessels of the retina - the seeing layer of the eye.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a complication of diabetes caused by leaking blood vessels, which leads to fluid accumulation in the macula, the center of the retina used for central vision, and can cause central vision to become blurry. Cataract is the clouding of the lens in the eye, which blocks or changes the passage of light into the eye and can cause vision to become blurry. Glaucoma is characterized by optic nerve damage and possible loss of side vision, usually caused by increase in fluid pressure inside the eye. For more information on diabetic eye disease, readers may call Prevent Blindness at 800-3312020 or visit www.preventblind ness.org/diabetes.

Christmas Bird Count Posted
FINAL DAYS!
Since 1900, the National Audubon Society has conducted a bird census called the Christmas Bird Count, with much of the legwork done by volunteers. Birders of all levels, including backyard watchers, are invited to help collect data, which may be used to study bird population trends and migration patterns and to consider conservation policy. Locally there are four opportunities to participate in the Christmas Bird Count. Attendees will be assigned to teams with leaders who are acquainted with the birders’ geographical areas. Backyard birders should preregister to determine if their home is within the Lancaster Bird Count circle. The bird count will take place in southern Lancaster County on Sunday, Dec. 16. To preregister and for more information, readers may contact Bob Schutsky at 717548-3303 or info@birdtreks.com. Birders in the Lititz area may participate on Sunday, Dec 30. The contact person, Ted Nichols, may be reached at 717-856-3851 or tanicholsii@gmail.com. In the Lancaster area, the bird count will take place on Saturday, Jan 5, 2019. Interested readers may call Roger Stoner at 717-393-9030. Additionally, the Christmas Bird Count for Kids will take place at the Lancaster County Central Park on Saturday, Dec 29. Held in collaboration with the Lancaster County Park System, the event is designed to teach children about birding and volunteering as a citizen scientist. All children are required to register with the Lancaster County Parks Department by calling 717-295-2055, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Additional information is available by contacting John Lahr at 717-2843497 or johnlahr324@gmail.com.
