Heather and Joel Leicy entered their daughter in a national toddler competition. Even before the Leicys learned the final results of the contest, they had already won.

Adalynn is their prize from God.

“We are very, very thankful and lucky to have her,” said Heather, a resident of Bird-in-Hand. “We are very proud to call her our daughter.”

Last year, participants were doused with color along the course. This year, it will be bubbles. “You

get the bubbles at the start and the whole time throughout, and then we will have a big bubble machine at the end, which is supposed to produce

mass amounts of bubbles - almost like a foam,” explained Jaquelynn Hoopes of Gap, who is co-chairing the event for the first time, along See Fun Run, Auction pg 12

Local Scouts Part of

High Adventure Trip to Canada

BY FRANCINE FULTON

When people hear the word Scouting, it often brings up images of outdoor activities like camping and hiking, along with qualities like leadership and teamwork. These ideas became reality this summer as Atglen Boy Scout Troop 20 took part in a High Adventure trip to Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.

Four members of the troop, which comprises students in the Pequea Valley and Octorara school districts, as well as four adult leaders, spent 10 days canoeing through the Canadian wilderness on the park’s waterways. They also

Curious, respectful and kind, Adalynn is a 28-month-old special little girl. For someone so young, she has faced her share of medical issues, and the way she has handled the adversity has been an inspiration for everyone she’s come in contact with.

“In one word, I’d say she’s bubbly,” said Heather. “She has no stranger danger. Everyone is her friend. She also has the best memory. It’s so eye-opening to see her take in the world. She remembers everything, even if we only say it one time. She’s super friendly, she loves and she’s eager to learn.”

In July, the Leicys entered Adalynn in the national Colossal Impact’s Toddler of the Year competition, sort of a popularity contest judged on the number of online votes each entrant’s profile received. One $25,000 prize was awarded from hundreds of entrants across the country.

The Leicys’ plans for the prize money, should they win, include paying off Adalynn’s $9,000 in medical bills and home renovations. The final

had to traverse portages, which involves carrying or transporting their canoes over land between two bodies of water.

“The portages are particularly difficult in the first few days due to the weight of the food and canoes that need to be carried, sometimes for more than a mile at a time, to get to the next body of water,” explained Christine Zink, a member of the troop’s parent committee.

According to participants, the difficult travel conditions were well worth it. “The views were breathtaking,” said adult leader Steve Johnson.

Sean Lentz, an aspiring Eagle Scout, said his favorite part of the trip was seeing a moose. “We were heading downstream and on the bank we saw a giant moose - it still had the velvet on its antlers,” he shared. “We were surprised to see it.”

Another Scout, Jacob Donovan, remarked that he would highly recommend the trip, noting that it was necessary for the Scouts to be able to carry their packs and canoes long distances safely. “(The trip is) definitely for a certain type of people - it helps to be physically fit,” Jacob added.

To prepare for the trip, the Scouts took part in several meetings to plan their route through the available 7,600 square kilometers of

the park. They also had to obtain the swimming merit badge and canoeing merit badge, which many earned at Camp Rodney on the Chesapeake Bay.

“They went out and did canoeing the Chesapeake to prepare and make sure everyone’s skill was up to par,” Zink noted. “They talked about meal planning and what meals they would get from the outfitter, where they wanted to camp and which lakes they wanted to canoe across.”

Troop 20 offers one high adventure trip each year that rotates between the canoeing trip in Algonquin Provincial Park; a hiking trip at the Philmont Scout Reservation in Cimarron, N.M.; and a sailing trip in the Bahamas.

Scouts in the troop do various fundraisers throughout the year. One of the biggest fundraisers is a holiday fruit basket sale.

Those interested in supporting the Scouts through the fruit basket fundraiser can contact any troop member or email fruit@ atglenscouts.org. The sale will kick off at the beginning of November with delivery dates in December.

Boy Scout Troop 20 meets at Penningtonville Presbyterian Church, 406 Main St., Atglen, on Mondays from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Each meeting opens with the national anthem and the recitation of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.

“In Scouting they earn different ranks, and they have to learn different skills and different merit badges. During the meetings, they

Each Scout is placed in a patrol, which is led by a senior patrol leader. “Senior patrol leaders are elected, and they appoint the patrol leaders. They play team games within their patrols,” Zink noted. “A troop guide is the patrol leader for the first-year kids. They focus on first-year skills to get (the Scouts) to the next rank.”

“The adults don’t run the meeting; they give information and give reminders,” Zink added. “(The meeting) is Scout-led.”

Boys who are between the ages of 11 and 17 and are interested in Scouting are welcome to visit the troop during its regular Monday meeting time.

“It’s a great troop. They do at least one campout or outing every month. They have weekly meetings, and they are super busy with fun stuff,” Zink said. “We would love to keep the troop going. I believe that Scouting is worthwhile.”

results of the contest have yet to be announced.

“She didn’t fully understand what (the competition) was,” said Heather. “Every single day, she thanked people for their votes or told them to vote. She knew she needed to be in the No. 1 spot, but she wasn’t exactly sure why. We shared something about her every single day.”

“With the competition, we wanted to focus on the fact that she was loved and supported,” added Heather. “Those people were voting for her because they loved her. That’s what we wanted her to know beyond the prize.”

Adalynn has been dealing with medical issues since the day she was born in 2023. First it was jaundice, and then it was a heart murmur.

Then, through an MRI, a blood test and eye tests, it was discovered that Adalynn’s right eye wasn’t being used.

“The left eye was doing all the work,” said Heather. “She had to wear a patch for two hours a day and glasses for the rest of her life to strengthen that right eye. The hope is she won’t have to wear the patch at some point.”

“We’re now on high monitoring,” Heather

added. “(Medical officials) don’t see anything that’s slowing her down right now, but something could in the future. Her eye is really weak on the right side. Neurology is saying that everything looks OK.”

Everyone can take a cue from how little Adalynn has handled adversity.

“How she’s handled these problems have been the most proud moments for us as parents,” said Heather. “It’s been mind-boggling how much she’s trusted us. Things were new to her, but she was willing to give it a shot, make the best of it and find joy in other places. It’s been a new experience for all of us.”

“My husband and I don’t wear glasses, but we took pictures of friends with glasses and showed them to Adalynn,” continued Heather. “Her response was kind of like, ‘Other people wear glasses. It’s something I can get used to.’ She’s kind of a role model for us, and she doesn’t even know it.”

Every parent has hopes and dreams for their child’s future. Near the top of everyone’s list is good health.

“I just want her to know that she’s loved, and I want her to find a group of people who she

can fully trust and where she can be herself,” said Heather. “As a mom, it’s been fun watching her find her spot. It’s something that sometimes doesn’t happen. That’s the biggest thing I want for her.”

“Something else I want her to learn is that you can just try things,” Heather continued. “Yes, we may not win. We just decided, ‘Let’s go for it.’”

Adalynn will always be the Leicys’ Toddler of the Year.

Ways To Conserve Fuel

In today’s world, saving money is often a top priority for consumers, and bills paid at the gas pump are no exception. Drivers can follow a few simple tips to help save money on gas.

Lighten the load. How much weight is being carted around in a vehicle can directly affect the amount of gas it consumes. Remove any unnecessary items from the trunk or cargo area of a truck or SUV. Consider removing extra accessories, like roof racks or hitches.

Accelerate slowly. Resist the urge to gun it when beginning to move

after a stop light or stop sign, as rapid acceleration wastes gas. Press the accelerator pedal gently to increase speed gradually and conserve fuel. Similarly, coast to a stop, rather than slamming on the brakes.

Don’t idle. Turn off the engine if the car will be idling for more than a minute. Modern engines do not need to be warmed up for more than 30 to 60 seconds, even when the weather is cold. Driving will warm up the car faster than idling while parked, provided the car is driven moderately until the temperature gauge shows the car has reached the right temperature.

Consider whether to use air conditioning or put the windows down. While it’s true that the air conditioning will drain fuel when in use, driving with the windows open makes the vehicle less aerodynamic by causing drag. Some experts recommended leaving the windows down during slower city driving and using the air conditioning for higher speeds on the highway.

Keep tires properly inflated. Poorly inflated tires can make a vehicle less efficient by causing more friction between tires and the roadway. Check the PSI rating for the tires and

inflate accordingly. Many modern vehicles automatically alert drivers when tires are low on air.

Drive a consistent speed. When driving on the highway, switch to cruise control to maintain a consistent speed. This action can reduce drag, which in turn reduces fuel consumption.

Stick to a maintenance schedule. Maintaining a vehicle by getting routine oil changes, fluid checks and other simple upkeep helps a car or truck run properly, which can help conserve fuel.

These are just a few strategies drivers may employ to conserve fuel.

Tracking Down the Perfect Vehicle

fuel-efficient car for commuting? Identifying the main purpose of the vehicle will eliminate certain cars or trucks right off the bat.

Buying a vehicle is a significant financial investment. It is not a decision to take lightly, especially given the historically high prices of new cars in recent years. Finding a vehicle that is the perfect fit requires consideration of a host of variables, including personal preference. What is perfect for one individual may not work for another. When the time comes to shop for a car, people can ask themselves a few questions in an effort to find a vehicle that best suits their situation.

• What are your needs? Are you looking to carpool the kids to and from school, or do you want a

• What is your budget? It is a good idea to get a pre-approval loan statement from a financial provider to figure out what you can afford to pay for a vehicle. The automotive resource Edmunds says the general rule is the monthly car payment should not exceed 15% of your monthly take-home pay. Lease payments should be less than 10% of monthly take-home pay. Calculate these numbers and potential interest rates prior to shopping for a vehicle.

• What size is best for you? Even though it may

seem that SUVs and pickups reign supreme on the road, some drivers prefer smaller vehicles. Figure out how much interior space and cargo room you need. Take the time to sit in different vehicle classes to determine which size fits you best.

• What are your fuel preferences? Today’s vehicles come in electric, unleaded gasoline, diesel, and hybrid options. How the car or truck is powered may be important to you and will help identify the best vehicle for you.

• What is the cost of ownership? Certain vehicle brands may be more expensive to maintain than others. According to Motor1. com, luxury and premium brands are typically the most expensive to maintain, with European brands typically carrying high maintenance costs. This can be prohibitive when parts or service is needed.

Buying a vehicle requires careful consideration of drivers’ needs, budget, and desired features.

Taking care of a vehicle involves more than just maintaining the equipment under the hood. There are a number of steps involved in keeping a car or truck in top form, and that includes regular car washes.

Car washes keep a vehicle shiny and clean, which can help it look good while sitting in the driveway or cruising the highway. However, regular

car washes are more than cosmetic.

• Protect from the sun: A car that is routinely and properly washed and waxed is less vulnerable to damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

• Extend the life of paint: Dirt and debris can build up on the paint surface and eventually lead to scratches and other damage. Bird droppings and sap can be

Banquet To Raise Funds for Scholarships

Lancaster Friends of Meserete Kristos Seminary in Ethiopia will hold its annual fundraising banquet on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at 6 p.m. at Stumptown Mennonite Church, 2813 Stumptown Road, Bird-in-Hand.

The banquet will include the option of authentic Ethiopian food - injera and wator American fare. Admission is free, but an offering will be received to benefit MKSeminary located in Bishoftu, Ethiopia.

The featured speaker will be Ayalnesh Erku Asefaw, who graduated from the seminary in 2008. She lives in Ethiopia and is now an instructor at the school. She is also the assistant women and family coordinator for Evangelical Churches Fellowship of Ethiopia.

MKSeminary is owned by the Meserete Kristos (Founded on Christ) Church, an Anabaptist-related church that has close to 1 million members. With rapid growth in recent decades, the church has an immediate need for training new leaders, pastors, counselors, peacemakers, and evangelists. The mission of the seminary is “to equip men and women for the holistic transformation of the church and society.”

The proceeds from the banquet will go directly

Cavod Plans

Hip-Hop Dance Class

Cavod Performing Arts, 665 W. Main St., New Holland, will host a Hip-Hop Master Class with Marcus Medina on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Medina has more than a decade of experience in the dance industry and has showcased his talents in live performances, music videos, and theme park productions. He has performed as both a principal and backup dancer for major Christian artists, as well as a dancer for Dolly Parton at the Academy of Country Music Awards. He aims to inspire others to use dance as an expression of worship to the Lord. There is a fee, which may be paid at the door. The class is open to dancers age 10 and older.

corrosive. Washing will help remove grime and protect the paint in the process.

• Preserve the vehicle’s value: Drivers who plan to sell or trade in their vehicles in the future should realize that a well-maintained car can bring in as much as 20% more for above-average condition, according to Kelley Blue Book. Maintaining a clean and shiny vehicle can protect its long-term value.

• Remove salt: Drivers who live near the ocean or in areas where roads are salted in the winter to melt snow may have cars with high salt corrosion rates. Unless it’s washed off frequently, salt can take its toll, leading to damage.

• Improve fuel efficiency: Drivers have felt pain in their wallets at the fuel pump in recent years. Dirty cars may be less aerodynamic and less fuel efficient as a result. Keeping a car clean may improve its fuel efficiency.

• Maintain the interior: Car washes are not only about the exterior. Keeping a clean and tidy interior can help improve the air quality inside of the vehicle and prolong the life of upholstery, mats, and interior components. Car washes should be a routine part of vehicle maintenance. Professional car washes tend to be more eco-friendly than washing a car at home, so drivers are urged to investigate their service plans and features.

SPORTSMAN’S SHOW

Submitted by Leona Baker, Historical Society of Salisbury Township

In our nation’s early days, travel was by horse power, the four-legged kind. Highways were dirt, often deeply trenched in mud. Trips were measured in days, not hours. Horsemen, riding 30 to 40 miles per day, could make the 60- to 70-mile journey between Philadelphia and Lancaster in about two days. A loaded wagon drawn by oxen typically averaged 15 to 20 miles per day. Considerations for terrain and rest breaks necessary for such a trip could add days to that journey.

There was a need for rest

stops every 5 miles or so along the routes. In what is now Salisbury Township, one such rest stop located on Old Philadelphia Pike was the famed White Horse in the village of White Horse. History of that property begins with James Clemson, who, in 1716, received from William Penn’s agents 600 acres plus 36 acres for roads. Acreage varied from owner to owner over the next 300 years. The first mention of any building on the property is a 1750 deed transferring ownership to John and Sarah Clemson, who operated an inn. Joan Lorenz, in her book “The History of Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,” records that the first mention of White Horse Tavern appears in the tax records of 1759. Legend says the inn was built in 1740.

Deeds indicate the tavern remained in the Clemson family at least until 1799. The accompanying acreage had, by then, been reduced to 122 acres. For the next 200 years, ownership changed frequently, but whether within the family (sons-in-law) or otherwise is not distinguishable from the deeds.

Usually inns or taverns included eating and lodging accommodations. Mention of a two-story inn first appears in a 1847 deed. The stone building had one large room downstairs. A fireplace stood on the southwest corner, the ubiquitous bar at the east end of the room. A keystone-arched fireplace was in the basement. The stone kitchen in the back of the main building may have been erected by John and Sarah Clemson.

As a working-man’s tavern, drovers, wagoners and passing settlers were the clientele. Upstairs was one great room meant for rough and frugal men. Beds would have been cots, lined up as many as were needed to accommodate the need. A guest would have been given a blanket and perhaps a pillow. Accommodations for any female guest who ventured in would have been given a back room downstairs.

For 100 more years, the building continued to change hands, always known as the White Horse. Currently, the land has been reduced to two acres (130 perches). Its symbol, a white steed surrounded by a black circle, was proudly painted on the west wall. In 1986, the White Horse, now known as the White Horse Inn, began serving a loyal public under the new ownership of Edwin and Evelyn McQueen. Locals met at the inn for dinner or just a beer at least once a week. Ed’s family, which included the staff, and their friends, relaxed after hours in the screened-in porch behind the building.

Forty years later, the White Horse Tavern/ Hotel/Inn, once the center of activity in the village of White Horse, became a private residence. The charm of the exterior has been retained.

Now the property is for sale again. Everyone, especially members of the historical society, hope that the new owners will cherish this old building as an important addition to the ongoing life of the township.

The White Horse Hotel (left photo) was reportedly built in 1740 as a rest stop for travelers and it still exists today (right photo) as the White Horse Inn.

obviously you could walk or jog. A lot of people have younger kids with strollers, and they do the course with the kids. It’s just a big family gathering.”

There will also be an auction preview on Oct. 10, so people can see all of the items that will be up for bids the next day. Also featured will be a bake sale and a sale of gift cards. “Whatever gift cards we get donated, we just sell at face value,” Hoopes noted.

Live and silent auctions will be held on Oct. 11 Doors will open at 8 a.m. Bidding will be held from 9 a.m. to noon. Auction

items will include home decor, outdoor equipment, themed gift baskets and sports memorabilia.

Also up for bidding as part of the live auction will be teacher experiences where teachers may offer to take children on an outing or provide a pizza lunch at school.

Students also create artwork for the auction. “Each grade - preschool through high school - contributes. Most of it is something they do in art class,” said Malavolta. “The middle school will have a giant outside Jenga, and they are going to decorate all

of the blocks. Kindergarten is doing a mirror, and around the outside of the mirror they’re putting their fingerprints to make butterflies, caterpillars and flowers.”

WFCS students will also help with the auction, serving as runners for the auctioneer, Dave Longenecker.

There will also be an opportunity for people to win a grand prize through a random drawing. The three-pack prize includes a small chest freezer, a 36-inch Blackstone grill and a $300 gift card to a local butcher shop.

A Kids Zone child care area with games and face painting will be open during the live auction for children age 3 through third grade.

Breakfast sandwiches and lunch items, including homemade soup, will be served during the auction.

Both Hoopes and Malavolta, who are cousins, are excited to be first-time chairs of the fun run and auction. Both attended WFCS and now have children attending the school.

“We and our parents used to help out with the auction, so its like a full-circle moment,” said Malavolta.

“This is the first year that both of our kids are in school and we helped take over the auction.”

“It’s just cool to be able to be a part of it, but in a different way,” added Hoopes. “All of our kids are growing up the same way we did, and then hopefully their kids will be able to come here. It’s a generational thing.”

Proceeds from the auction, food sales and fun run registrations will benefit the school’s operating budget. WFCS offers a Little Falcons Preschool for youngsters ages 3 to 5, a full-day kindergarten program and classes for students through 12th grade. WFCS, founded in 1941, serves students from the Avon Grove, Coatesville, Octorara, Oxford, Pequea Valley, Solanco and Unionville-Chadds Ford area school districts. Busing is provided, and financial aid is available.

Stage

from pg 9

Oct. 15, 2026, the variety show features fan-favorite characters as well as Ryan’s signature ventriloquism, comedy skits and parody songs in styles ranging from country to Broadway.

On Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026, “Dear Soldier Boy” will return to the Birdin-Hand Stage. Written by Martha Bolton, with songs by Wally Nason, the show is set in 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait. A young Amish girl and her friend volunteer to write letters of encouragement to the American troops. Several soldiers out on a weekend pass decide to surprise the girls at the cheese shop where they work - all on the same day. This musical comedy will

run through Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026. The season will close with another new show from Blue Gate Musicals. “The Christmas Rush” will open on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026. As the stores prepare to close on Christmas Eve, a recently widowed salesgirl and her daughter are desperately seeking the one special thing about Christmas. Down to their last dime and last hour, they hatch two secret plans that put them on a collision course with disaster that only a Christmas Eve miracle will solve. The show will run through Thursday, Dec. 31, 2026. Tickets for all four 2026 shows are currently available. For reservations, call 717-768-1568 or visit www.Bird-in-Hand.com.
