Christmas Tree Recycling Program Posted
County residents may dispose of their Christmas trees in an environmentally friendly way by dropping them at the mulching site at Lancaster County Central Park, 1 Nature’s Way, Lancaster. Trees may be dropped off between dawn and dusk through Tuesday, Jan. 31.
The park mulching program is for Christmas trees only. No other yard waste will be accepted. Trees must be free of decorations, lights, plastic bags, and hardware, including nails in the trunk. There is a limit of three trees per vehicle. Commercial haulers are strongly advised to contact their local municipalities for their respective Christmas tree recycling locations.
There is a suggested nominal donation for each tree. Donations will benefit the operation of the Dr. John Moss Native Tree Nursery in Central Park. Trees from the nursery are utilized throughout the Lancaster County Park System. A portion of the funds are used to purchase emerald ash borer protection for about 26 ash trees in Lancaster County Central Park and Buchmiller County Park.
According to park officials, residents drop off about 1,000 Christmas trees each year, which produce 15 tons of mulch. The mulch is ideal for acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas, and many deciduous ornamental trees and shrubs that require slightly acidic soil conditions. The mulch will be available to residents on a first-come, first-served basis after Jan. 4, near the tree drop-off site. Persons desiring free mulch should bring a pitchfork or shovel and a bag or a trailer to transport it home.
For more information about the Christmas tree mulching program, call the park office at 717-299-8215 on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. To learn more about the Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation, visit www. lancastercountyparks.org.
On Nov. 12, 2022, at Hersheypark Stadium, the Warwick marching band captured the state championship in the Yankee Open Division at the Cavalcade of Bands’ competition, with a total score of 94.25 out of 100. The Warriors were judged to be the finest among five bands competing in the Yankee Open class. Warwick also took home top honors for best color guard, best overall effect, best visual and best music. The performance marked Warwick’s first state championship at the Cavalcade of Bands in 14 years.
“I am beyond proud of the work these kids have displayed this year, the growth they’ve achieved and their 100% complete buy-in of their pursuit of excellence,” said Matt Tenaglia, director of the Warwick High School and Middle School bands.
On and off the field, the Warwick band was led by students Hayden Milchanowski, the drum major; wind captain Maggie Turner; brass captain Jack Haught; and color guard captain Rose Grisbacher.
This year’s performance was titled “Reframed.” The show included an opener, a ballad, and a closer, and it incorporated members forming boxes on the field.
Warwick’s state championship at the Cavalcade of Bands culminated a fall season in which the band consistently received high marks and recognition at its competitions.
Club Honors Video Game Designer
A new plaque in the Lancaster Science Factory’s Hall of Heroes honoring Carol Shaw was dedicated on Dec. 14 by members of the Lancaster Science Factory’s Girls Code Club. Shaw was a computer programmer who is known as the first female video game designer. She is known for creating the Atari 2600 game “River Raid.” The Girls Code Club students chose Shaw because they also enjoy programming video games.
The Girls Code Club is open to girls ages 8 to 13 and seeks to encourage an interest in coding. Since its inception seven years ago, more than 275 girls have participated in the club. To learn more, visit www.lancaster sciencefactory.org.
Sen. Ryan Aument addresses members of the Warwick marching band.

Do’s And Don’ts Of Healthy Weight Loss
Maintaining a healthy weight is believed to promote long-term health, while being overweight or obese can be a risk factor for various conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The World Health Organization reports that the worldwide obesity rate has tripled since 1975. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were overweight. Of these, more than 650 million were obese.
Health issues related to obesity are largely preventable. Losing weight in a healthy manner is essential for safe and lasting results, and individuals aspiring to lose weight may consider the following guidelines on what to do and what not to do.
DO add lean protein sources to your diet. Healthline indicates the body burns calories when digesting and metabolizing protein, so a high-protein diet can help to shed up to 80 to 100 calories per day. Protein also helps you to feel full, reducing the propensity to overeat.
DON’T get hung up on numbers early on. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises that even modest weight loss of 5% to 10% of your total body weight can produce health benefits, such as improvements in blood sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure. Start small and gradually build up.
DO eat at least four servings of vegetables and three servings of fruits daily. Produce contains an abundance of vital nutrients and is often fiber-rich and low in calories, which helps you to feel full.
DON’T overlook the impact of beverages on weight loss. The calories in sugary beverages, including some all-natural fruit juices, can add up quickly. Stick to water, tea or other unsweetened beverages to help with weight loss.
DO get moving more. The Mayo Clinic notes that while it is possible to lose weight without exercise, getting moving can help burn the excess calories you can’t cut through diet alone. Exercise boosts metabolism, benefits mood and strengthens muscles and the cardiovascular system, as well.
DON’T go shopping while hungry. If you do, you may make impulse buys that compromise healthy eating plans.
DO speak with a doctor if you are comparing diet and exercise plans. A health care professional can indicate if a particular diet or fitness routine is acceptable for your age, goals and current health status.
DON’T forget to track eating. Most healthy diets involve some sort of caloriecounting, whether they actually require you to document your intake or use a formula to attribute “points” or another measure related to what you eat. Writing or tracking the foods and beverages you consume will provide the most honest assessment of habits that could affect weight loss.
DO include foods you enjoy. Completely restricting access to occasional treats may cause you to resent healthy eating, which can derail weight loss goals. The principle of moderation can apply to healthy weight loss as long as you account for the more calorie-dense foods. Losing weight in a healthy manner is achievable when you seek guidance and follow some time-tested techniques.
Bicycle Club Grant Program Posted

Cattle Feeders Day Planned
A Lancaster County wintertime staple with a run time of 54 years, the annual Cattle Feeders Day is slated for Tuesday, Jan. 24, and will again bring information to area cattle producers.
Hosted at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, the event will include workshops such as “FDA Regulatory Changes for Antibiotic and Implant Usage” by Hayley Springer, assistant research professor with Penn State Extension, and Tara Felix, associate professor of animal science with Penn State Extension. Blaine Corners, a senior nutritionist at Beef Strategic Technical Services, will discuss “Managing High-Risk Cattle in the Feedlot,” and Garren Bellis, a consultant with Compass Ag Solutions, will give a workshop titled “Livestock Risk Protection (LRP): Price Floors for Your Cattle.” A regular at Cattle Feeders Day, Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, will return this year to present “America Has Spoken … What the 2022 Election Means for Your Operation.”
After industry updates, the lunch break will offer attendees the opportunity to visit the trade show and talk with the speakers. Also on Cattle Feeders Day, beef quality assurance recertification will be available.
The ticket price includes lunch. Space is limited. To purchase tickets, visit https://extension.psu.edu/ cattle-feeders-day or call 877-345-0691. Walk-ins on the day of the event are also welcome. For further information on program content, contact Cheryl Fairbairn at 610-696-3500.
