hen Army veteran Dave Garver, who had achieved a rank of Chief Warrant Officer 3 when he retired, was asked to speak at the upcoming Memorial Day Service at Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church (MOPC), he agreed to do so because he knows perspectives on Memorial Day are not all the same. “I feel that people’s views on what Memorial Day is about are different than (the views of) those who have been in the service,” Garver pointed out. “Having the opportunity to stand up front and give my perspective is why I am here.” Gar ver will open the ceremony, which will begin in the old cemetery east of the church at 1199 Valley Road, Quarryville, on Sunday, May 24, at 10 a.m. The brief outdoor ceremony will feature prayer and a color guard

For Auscultation Brass, Music Is Medicine
On the surface, there is no obvious connection between medicine and music. That is, until you realize that music goes with anything, or everything. Auscultation Brass is a collection of healing artists and a group of musical physicians. “I think there’s a part in our brains that, when music hits our ears, it becomes very soothing,” See Music pg 2
On average, Americans spend 15 years and three months of their natural lives working, a total of some 90,000 hours. For some people, a job is work. For some individuals, employment is a career. PA CareerLink L ancaster County caters to both groups of people and helps individuals to navigate this critical portion of their lives. “It depends on the individual,” said Chris Roggenbaum, who’s been the site administrator at PA CareerLink Lancaster County for three years. “Some people may say they have a job. For me, my job is part of my career. It’s part of my path. Some people are looking for jobs. A lot of times, people put their identities into whether they have a job or a career.” An arm of the L ancaster County Workforce Development Board, PA CareerLink Lancaster County, which is located at 1046 Manheim Pike, Lancaster, is a job center that provides locals opportunities to improve t h e m s e l ve s f i n a n c i a l l y, to enhance their lives and to selfactualize. PA CareerLink Lancaster County’s hours of operation are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. “A lot of people come to us thinking we’re the unemployment office, but we are not,” said Roggenbaum. “Our goal is to get individuals back to work or further their skills for their current job. We’re here to help people enter or re-enter the local work force. There are a variety of ways to do that.” See CareerLink pg 8
