The Millersville Lions Club Pool is inviting members of the community to come make a splash to raise some cash.
The pool, located at 314 N. Prince St., Millersville, will hold its third and final Splash Party of the summer from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 13.
There will be baked goods, cotton candy, and snow cones for sale, and
a DJ will provide music. The pool will close at 5 p.m. to set up for the Splash Party, and visitors must pay a nominal fee for admission. All proceeds from the event will be donated to autism awareness.
“We’re hoping for a great weather day so we can get a lot of people here and raise as much money as possible,” Millersville Lions Club president Bruce Ratliff said.
Ratliff noted that the pool holds three splash parties each year to

Less than a year after attending her first Conestoga Herb Guild event, Sophia Harmes will be the featured speaker at a group meeting.
The Mountville resident will give a presentation on Harvesting and Drying Herbs at the guild’s get-together on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Millersville VFW, 219 Walnut Hill Road.
Harmes noted that the topic of her talk will serve as an introductory class for less-experienced herb enthusiasts.
“If you like using herbs in cooking, this would be a good way to be introduced to how you can plant your own herbs and harvest them and prepare them for storage,” she said.
Harmes wasn’t that familiar with the organization before last summer. “I attended one of (the Conestoga Herb Guild’s) herb fests (last) September, and I was really impressed with the whole operation,” she said. “I joined, and I came back the next month.”
When an opening arose, Harmes jumped at the opportunity to speak about drying and harvesting herbs at the group’s August meeting. “I had heard at the last Herb Guild festival that a lot of the members didn’t know how to do things like that or needed a refresher course,” she said. “So I thought that would be a good topic.”
Harmes will address some of the nuances of cultivating herbs. “There are different ways that you can harvest herbs,” she said. “There are different times a day that are more important for beneficial reasons. There

are different methods in drying the herbs. Some are better than others, so I’ll be talking about the different methods that you can use to dry herbs and what you should be looking for to make sure that your herbs are dried when they’re dry,” she said with a laugh.
We encourage local nonprofit groups, schools, churches, and others to submit news releases. Dated articles, highlighting local activities and events, and undated articles of general interest are used as space allows. Related photographs of good quality, with complete identification, are encouraged.
The recent severe weather events experienced in the Lancaster area damaged many heating systems. From now through Tuesday, Sept. 30, U.S. Boiler Company is offering a special tiered rebate program for residents whose boilers were damaged by floods.
Homeowners who purchase a new cast-iron gas-fired boiler are eligible for a $300 rebate. Those who purchase a cast-iron oil-fired boiler are eligible for a $400 rebate, and residential condensing boiler installations can receive a $500 rebate.
All rebates will be paid directly to homeowners at the address of installation. Boilers must be installed by a licensed professional
Proof of purchase, installation and photos of the flood-damaged boiler are required for redemption. Installing contractors must purchase replacement boilers from a participating wholesale distributor. No online retailers are permitted.
This offer is valid for boilers installed and registered between July 15 and Sept. 30. This offer cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion.

Women’s Club Plans Meeting
The Millersville Woman’s Club will host a picnic on Tuesday, Aug. 19, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Millersville Borough’s Freedom Memorial Park, 9 Shertzer Lane. The picnic will take place in Pavilion A, the largest pavilion. The gathering is open to all area women, and there is no obligation to join the club. Attendees may meet

The club holds monthly programs and meetings throughout the year on the third Tuesday of the month. For more information, call 717-682-0420 or 717-344-7457.
Harmes said she has gained knowledge about herbs from her many years of growing them at home. “I grow a lot of culinary herbs, and I’ve started getting into more medicinal herbs and more medicinal plants,” she said. “I have a little business at Green Dragon where I sell alternative health and wellness products. I focus on essential oils there, but I’d like to incorporate more of the herbs and medicinal herb products up there, too.”
People should preregister for all public guild activities by contacting Susan Atkins at 717-725-7451 or atkinsateb@aol.com. For more information about the club, go to www.conestogaherbguild.org.

Bird Club Posts Meeting, Field Trip
The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet on Thursday, Aug. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area’s Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens.
Mike Moore will present “Unconfusing Fall Warblers: A Practical Birding Program to Prepare You for Fall Migration!”
Moore will discuss warblers and how they are not as confusing as they may appear, and he will explain how to identify warblers in the fall. He will cover all of the warblers commonly seen in the mid-Atlantic area.
Moore is a retired biology professor and a past president of Delaware Ornithological Society. He started birding in middle school and has had a lifelong passion for birds, which included completing his doctorate at the University of Washington on the field endocrinology of White-crowned Sparrows. He served on the biology faculty at Arizona State University for 27 years and then moved to the University of Delaware, where
he retired after 11 years. He has been funded throughout his career by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health and has published nearly 100 papers in scientific journals. He also has a passion for dragonflies and serves as a vice president for the Dragonfly Society of the Americas.
The meeting is free and open to the public. For more information, call 717-8563851 or 717-725-2717.
The LCBC will also offer a field trip to Clark Nature Preserve in Pequea on Saturday, Aug. 9, starting at 7 a.m. Participants will explore the meadow and woodlands for summer birds such as buntings, vireos, and tanagers. Attendees must register by 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 8, by contacting trip leader Sarah Gotwols at 717-940-3804 or sarahann71880@gmail.com.

benefit a charitable organization. The July Splash Party generated $3,000 for Make-A-Wish America, and the June event raised $4,000 for Breakthrough T1D, formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
“We try to rotate our charities, and someone in our club suggested autism awareness for the August event,” said Ratliff. A representative from autism awareness will distribute handouts. “Our goal is just to make the community aware of what is going on and what’s available in this community to meet those needs,” said Ratliff. “We want to make the community aware of what’s available to them.”
Ratliff is hoping for a large crowd. “We want the most
people to show up so that we’re able to give the most (money) away,” said Ratliff. “It’s just an incredible way to serve the community from our perspective as the Lions Club, but it’s also the community’s opportunity to support these organizations in a very small way to them, but a big way to the community.”
The splash parties are another way for the Lions Club to adhere to its mission. “One of the things that we’re very proud of as Lions is number one, our motto is ‘We Serve,’” Ratliff said. “We believe we’re doing a couple of things at our splash parties. This a great facility. We have a snack bar that serves everything from candy bars and ice cream to pizza and hot dogs and
Program To Focus on Women and the Civil War
The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) will host a presentation titled “The Backbone of Our Country: Women of the Civil War” when it meets at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, in the Millersville Borough Administration & Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and lock at 9:15 a.m.
The speaker will be Columbia native and Civil War historian Cindy Beaston, founder of the General Welsh Post 118: Civil War Roundtable (CWRT).
Before the women’s suffrage movement in the 1920s, women were
all those kinds of things. But the pool facilities are really amazing. We were voted a couple of years ago as one of the best pools in Lancaster County, and we try and maintain our pool so that we offer the best that experience we can to the community. The other part of that is we want to support and make aware the offerings of these organizations to be able to help those in need, whether it be Type 1 diabetes or autism awareness, so that the community knows they’re not alone and there are places to go to get help and to be able to meet the needs that they have in their their own homes, in their own families, in their
community, whether it’s it be Millersville, Lancaster, wherever it might be.”
The Millersville Lions Club, which currently has 65 members, meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at St. Philip the Apostle Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster. Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. and run approximately one hour.
“We’re always looking for new members,” said Ratliff. “It takes a lot of volunteers to run events like the splash parties, and we have a huge bingo in the spring. We have a lot of opportunities to serve.”

Conscientious consumers know that money used for purchases at the ReStore is well-spent.
“The ReStore is a treasure hunt,” said Ben Mathus, who’s been the ReStore’s director for eight years. “Our savvy shoppers know our truck schedule. They want to see what new products are going to hit our floor. The savvy shoppers are in here regularly searching for gems. There are tremendous savings here.”
It’s been a year since Lancaster-Lebanon Habitat for Humanity relocated its ReStore retail operations from a 20,000-square-foot building at 155 Independence Court, Lancaster, to a 33,000-square-foot site at 1061 Manheim Pike, Lancaster. That anniversary was marked with a celebration on June 21.
“We had a great vibe going on that day,” said Mathus. “We had a line outside the front door. When we opened the doors, people rushed in. It was kind of a party atmosphere. We generated a lot of income for the house-building program.”
“We were at our old location for 25 years, and we just outgrew it,” Mathus added. “It was time for something newer, larger, something to support our growing mission. It’s a larger, brighter building, and it’s a better customer experience all the way around.”
A large portion of the ReStore’s inventory is made up of building supplies, household goods, home décor and do-it-yourself materials donated by companies, private estates and individuals. The ReStore sells new and used furniture, hardware, plumbing supplies, bathtubs, roof shingles, latex gloves, doors and windows, used appliances, filters, wall art and light fixtures.
In a typical year, the ReStore sells enough of those donated items to fund two housing projects for Lancaster-Lebanon Habitat for Humanity, which renovates or builds safe, affordable homes for local low-income families.
“The ReStore is one of the fundraising arms of Habitat for Humanity,” said Mathus. “We are all about reduce, reuse and recycle and keeping materials out of landfills. We’re prioritizing materials. We are a retail outlet. Our mission is clear; we support
Group To Host Cars and Cones Event
First Responders
Friends, a local nonprofit organization, will present Cars and Cones on Friday, Aug. 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Safe Harbor Park, 5365 River Road, Conestoga. Participants must make a donation of a nominal set fee, which will include two bowls of ice cream and two bottles of water. People typically bring an antique or classic car, but any vehicle is permitted.
There is no registration. There is no charge for visitors to view the vehicles, and ice cream will be available for sale. The event will be canceled if it rains.
First Responders Friends supports the Conestoga Volunteer Fire Company, West Willow Fire Company, Lancaster EMS and the Pequea Township Police Department.
our affiliate program.”
On the average, between 200 and 300 shoppers frequent the ReStore each day. The ReStore is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“My favorite part is seeing what comes in through our donation doors, seeing what kind of interesting items come in,” said Mathus. “We don’t have an inventory. We don’t get manifests of what’s coming in. It’s always different. It’s always unexpected.”
The ReStore employs 15 staff members. But the ReStore “really couldn’t do what we do” without the work of nearly 40 regular volunteers, Mathus emphasized.
“Everyone deserves a safe, dry, affordable house,” said Mathus. “Everyone needs a place to live. If it’s not safe, dry and affordable, it’s not a house; it’s not a home. Having a roof
over your head affords so many opportunities. Housing is critical. We see it with kids’ grades. That stuff trickles down, and it affects the whole family. We want everyone to thrive and survive.”
Habitat for Humanity, an international organization, launched an arm in Lancaster in 1986. In 2015, the local branch expanded to include residents in Lebanon County. Originally started in a location at 1520 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, the ReStore has been financially supporting the Lancaster-Lebanon Habitat for Humanity’s mission for 32 years.
“We’ve helped hundreds of people over that time, locally, in our region,” said Mathus. “We build new houses and remodel older homes. By preserving existing structures, we’re saving the soul of the city.”

unless Crossgates representatives determine there is a danger to guests due to severe storms. Collared shirts and soft spike soles are required. Go to https://udservices .org/golf-registration/ to register. Golfers should register no later than Friday, Aug. 15, to be guaranteed a tournament shirt.
“The sixth annual golf tournament is our largest fundraiser specifically to raise funds for the service dogs’ program here at UDS,” said Lori Breece, who is the manager of the service dogs training program. “It takes about $35,000 to $40,000 that we invest in each dog. If you do the math, we have 30 dogs at any given time in the program, and that’s a lot of money that we have to raise. We really count on our fundraisers.”
Breece noted that the tournament has continued to grow. “We really appreciate the support of the community since 2020, when we had our first golf tournament in the midst of a pandemic, and that didn’t stop anyone from wanting to come out and support the dogs,” she said. “We have been able to grow this year over year. We do have a lofty goal this year to raise $70,000. Last year, we raised $65,000, so it certainly isn’t out of the possibility that we can do
that. But we really need the community to support this effort, and there are a lot of people that love golf.”
UDS previously held its golf tournament on a Friday afternoon in August. “We’re hoping that this change elevates the event a little bit, and also as we continue to grow, we are looking into possibly holding two flights in the future,” said Breece. “We need to make this event add $100,000 to our bottom line. It’s really important that we get at least a fifth of our revenue goal from this fundraising event.”
Breece stated that UDS works with individuals who have mobility disabilities such as muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis and people who require assistance through a cane, a walker, or a wheelchair.
“Those are the type of clients that we’re able to help, because all service dogs will be trained to retrieve and deliver (items) to somebody’s lap,” she said.
UDS also provides facility dogs for school districts, therapy offices, and child advocacy centers. “The dogs are not just touching one life,” said Breece. “They’re touching hundreds of lives.”
UDS also supplies home companion dogs on rare occasions. “We placed one a couple of years ago,” said Breece. “The dog’s sole duty
is to open the back door so that a woman in the wheelchair can get outside on her deck every day without her husband having to come home. Now she has a better quality of life because she can go be outside.”
Breece pointed out the golf tournament is crucial in helping UDS offset the cost for individuals. “Every year, consistently, we lose $300,000 to $500,000 because we can’t ask for the full cost from our clients,” Breece said. “There’s no way you can ask $30,000 from our vulnerable citizens, so we ask for $5,000. That’s a fraction, and it barely covers the cost of the first year of training or the vet care or even purchasing the puppy. We are investing $35,000 to $45,000 into each puppy.”
Golf sponsors include WellSpan, Primitives by Kathy, Alert Medical Alarms, Personal Wealth Advisory, Rineer Renovations, MI Windows & Doors, Bill and Kit Gamber, SN Lombardo Capital, Donegal Insurance Group, Simon Lever, Keller Bros. Ford, Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre, ELA Group, Weis Markets, and Hines Insurance Services.
Sponsorships are available until Aug. 15 in various categories. For additional information, contact Breece at 717-847-0445 or lorib@udservices.org.

shaping the country during the Civil War. Beaston will discuss how women - as spies, activists, nurses, and wives - helped the war effort and shaped the country. She will provide numerous examples of their efforts during her presentation, which will conclude with a question-and-answer session.
Beaston, a graduate of Columbia High School, studied World War II military history while in college and established the Civil War Roundtable two years ago. Named after Columbia’s first general, the General Welsh Post 118: CWRT is located at the Columbia Public Library and is the only CWRT currently operating in Lancaster County.
Beaston, whose work has been published, has given lectures at nursing homes and public centers, taken students on a walking tour of Wrightsville to discuss the 1863 skirmish there, and hosted trolley tours at Columbia’s RiverFest that focused on the Civil War. She also works at Hempfield recCenter, where she has been teaching water aerobics and swimming for 20 years.
Admission is free, and donations are appreciated. For more details, contact Phil Gerber at 717-8728837 before noon or at pge8507@aol.com.
