JustinRule wants Columbia to be a destination for visitors to learn about the town’s rich history and embrace its unique charm.

To help achieve that goal, Justin and his wife, Whitney, recently opened Freedom Home, an Airbnb located in a house built in 1876.

“I want this home to be a chance to bring people to Columbia to see the beautiful, historic town we have,” said Justin, who lives in the town, owns a business downtown and serves on the board of the Columbia

Economic Development Corporation. “Come fall in love with Columbia.”

The Locust Street home was built by Civil War veteran William Hougentogler. Other previous residents of the building include Dr. Gardiner P. Taylor, who operated his medical practice from the home and for whom local schools are named, as well as a Columbia postmaster and phone secretary and a state senator. Most recently, the building housed the Jonal Gallery.

“At one point, this building was converted to a duplex,” Justin shared. “Then there was a big renovation in

the late 1980s that brought it back to a single home.”

When Justin learned the home was for sale, he was intrigued but cautious. “I said, ‘What would I do with it?’” But he and Whitney decided to take a leap of faith and purchase the building through Discover Columbia, a business Justin started in 2020 to promote the town, with the hope that the borough would allow them to operate an Airbnb. He got approval, and things began to fall into place. CVS, located near the home, provided five parking spaces to lease, and the couple got

to work preparing the house to open. “It was two weeks of insane painting, decorating and running all new electric,” Justin recalled.

They kept the home’s original floors, the slate fireplace in the front room, original light fixtures throughout the first floor and an elaborate Roman labyrinth pattern in the dining room floor, created by the previous owners. Art on the walls includes a framed original map of Columbia as it was in 1894. The home features more than 3,300 square feet on three floors with 12 rooms and accommodations for 10.

Since 2020, the Columbia Animal Shelter has been hosting a Summer Concert Series, featuring live music performances in the grassy field next to the shelter. Now the organization is expanding its entertainment offerings into the colder months with the new Winter Concert Series. The concerts will be held in the warehouse across the street from the shelter, located at 265 S. 10th St., Columbia, from 6 to 9 p.m. on the second Saturday of the month from January through March.

“This is a new addition to our event lineup for 2023,” said Tammy Jalbert, executive director of the shelter. “The Summer Concert Series is growing so much in popularity that people were saying they wished we could do this in the winter, too. So, we are giving people what they asked for.”

Opens In York

WeeConnect Early Learning Center, which offers child care designed for children of all abilities, has opened its doors in York County. The pilot program seeks to provide high-quality, specialized and consistent care to neurodiverse and disabled children whose parents have been unable to consistently show up for work or obtain employment due to child care challenges.

For those parents whose children have developmental differences, disabilities and behavior challenges, the task of securing adequate care can be that much more challenging. WeeConnect not only aims to be a safe, supportive place for all children to learn and play regardless of social, emotional or physical ability, but it strives to provide parents with the consistency and assurance that their children will receive the specialized care that they need and

deserve. Parents who have reliable and fully inclusive child care will be better equipped to show up to work, which in turn will have a direct, positive impact on local businesses and the economy.

WeeConnect opened in fall 2022 and is owned and operated by Liz Jones, occupational therapist, and Rande Fregm, developmental specialist. WeeConnect currently serves as a model site and has goals to expand in the future to serve more families and communities experiencing child care inconsistencies due to a lack of specialized programming for neurodiverse and disabled children.

WeeConnect Early Learning Center is located at 1497 S. Queen St., York. For more information, email connect@connectionseias.com, call 717-430-8896 or visit www.facebook.com /ConnectionsEIAS.

The Winter Concert Series will kick off on Saturday, Jan. 14, with a performance by Matches Funk on Fire. The Columbia-based 10-piece band performs party and funk music. On Saturday, Feb. 11, rock cover band The Werx will entertain. The series will wrap up on Saturday, March 11, with a performance by Blue Voodoo.

The concerts help support the mission of the Columbia Animal Shelter, which is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming at-risk cats and dogs while also providing healthcare services for animals. Food and beverages will be for sale at the shows, with proceeds benefiting the shelter. Although there will be some tables and chairs for seating at the concerts,

attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs. There is also a suggested donation for admission to the concerts, but it is not required, Jalbert said.

She encourages everyone to check out the concerts, noting that each show will offer a fun night out. “(We are) supporting local area bands and providing folks a place to gather and listen to awesome music in the winter,” she stated. “Throw in some good food and beverages all to benefit Columbia Animal Shelter, and it will be an awesome night all around.”

Litter Prevention Program Set At Welcome Centers

America Recycles Day, a program of Keep America Beautiful, is observed on and around Nov. 15 to educate residents of the commonwealth and encourage them to be mindful of what they consume, learn where and how to properly recycle, and pledge to recycle correctly and more often in their everyday lives.

In celebration of America Recycles Day, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful highlighted the Cigarette Litter Prevention Program (CLPP). Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is partnering with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to implement the CLPP at 14 state welcome centers in 2022 and 2023. The program aims to raise travelers’ awareness of the issue of proper cigarette butt disposal using messaging and marketing campaigns and placing ash receptacles at entrances to rest stop buildings. The effectiveness of the program will be measured by comparing pre- and post-program scans or physical counts of cigarette butts and other tobacco products.

Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has a partnership with Terracylce to expand the program to include recycling and composting the cigarette butt waste. Cigarettes collected through CLPP are shipped to Terracycle where the vari-

ous materials that make up a cigarette are separated and processed. The filters are melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled industrial products, such as plastic pallets. The residual tobacco and paper are composted in a specialized process.

Cigarette butts that are thrown on the ground can contaminate soil and ground water with chemicals and heavy metals and fatally impact birds, animals and marine life, which often mistake them for food. Aditionally, the filters, made of cellulose acetate, never fully disappear from the environment.

In support of America Recycles Day, all Pennsylvanians are encouraged to take the #BeRecycled pledge and promise to recycle at home, work and school, and on the go; buy products made with recycled content; and educate friends, family members, and neighbors, and encourage them to take the #BeRecycled pledge. To learn more, visit www.kab.org.

To find out more about the Cigarette Litter Prevention Program, visit www.keeppabeautiful.org and choose Programs, then Cigarette Litter Prevention, or contact Michelle Dunn at mdunn@keeppabeautiful.org or 877-772-3673, ext. 113.

Justin is calling the home Freedom Home to reflect the history of the river town, including its role in the Underground Railroad. Rooms in the home also honor the town’s past, with names including the Burning Bridge Suite, the Wright’s Ferry Room and the Bethel Room, which overlooks historic Mount Bethel Cemetery. “I want people to appreciate where they are when they stay here,” Justin said.

Freedom Home welcomed its first guests in July 2022, and so far, it has hosted people from Ohio, Virginia, New York and Maryland - and as far away as England. When guests arrive at the home, Justin personally greets them to give them a tour of the house and recommend things to do in Columbia. “I

want this place to be a blessing to the community,” he shared. “It will benefit the town and all of the small businesses located here.”

Artists Sought To Exhibit At Train Station

The City of Lancaster’s Office of Public Art invites artists to create site-specific work to be exhibited in two glass-enclosed cases located on the south side of the Lancaster Amtrak Train Station concourse in 2023. The deadline to submit a proposal is Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, at 5 p.m.

The Lancaster Amtrak Station is the second-busiest Amtrak station in Pennsylvania, boasting an annual ridership of nearly 600,000 in the last fiscal year. The station’s display cases have historically served as a mode for

celebrating local artists and arts organizations through an annually scheduled rotation of exhibitions.

Finalists will be chosen from the pool of submissions by a selection committee using a set of standardized criteria. Selected finalists will be required to present their project to the Public Art Advisory Board (PAAB). Three artists will ultimately be selected, with each exhibiting for three months.

For more details, visit www.cityoflancasterpa.com /news.

On Dec. 2, Dayspring Christian Academy, 120 College Ave., Mountville, combined forces with the Mountville Lions Club to organize a food drive in support of the Columbia Food Bank. This is the second year that the school has held a drive with the Lions Club, and the drive acquired more than 1,700 donations.

The food drive began when Jeff Weinman, a member of the Mountville Lions Club, contacted the school to pitch the idea last year. The Dayspring student government assisted with the drive for the first year, but when its members were unable to help organize it this year, the students in NHS stepped in to lend a hand.

“It worked out beautifully,” said Donna Hurley, director of curriculum and instruction at Dayspring and an adviser of its NHS chapter. “We had one year behind us, so we had some clues as to what goals to

set and what strategies to use.” The students at Dayspring were given a special incentive to reach a certain number of donations. If a class met the donation goal, it would earn a special dress day

when its students could shirk their regular uniforms and wear other clothes to school.

Students at Dayspring banded together to prepare for the drive by holding class competitions, handing out flyers and contacting churches and businesses in the area to elicit support. Each member of Dayspring’s NHS chapter was assigned a different task, such as writing thank you notes, coordinating where boxes were collected, acquiring enough boxes for the donations and acquiring permissions from school leadership. “It was incredible to see (the students) coordinate all of the little logistical pieces of running a food drive,” Hurley said. When the day of the drive arrived, the Lions Club parked a moving truck across from the school, and students filed out of their classrooms to proudly carry

DMVA Announces Grant Opportunities

The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) has announced that the 2022-23 Veterans’ Trust Fund (VTF) is accepting grant applications for programs and services benefiting Pennsylvania veterans.

The DMVA will award VTF grants to nonprofit organizations, veteran service organizations, and county directors of veterans affairs across the state. Grant applications must be received no later than 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19.

Grant funding is available for new, innovative or expanded programs or services operated by the county directors of veterans affairs or the Pennsylvania Association of County Directors of Veterans Affairs. The areas of emphasis for appli-

cants in this category are veterans outreach, transportation services, and homelessness.

Grant funding is also available to veteran service organizations with 501(c)(19) status and nonprofit organizations that have a mission of serving Pennsylvania veterans and have been granted 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Code. Funding priorities for applicants in this category are transportation services, behavioral health initiatives, homelessness, and employment and education.

Since the grant program began in 2013, 254 grants totaling $6,591,860 have been awarded to organizations providing services to veterans in Pennsylvania.

The VTF is funded by Penn-

sylvanians who voluntarily donate when applying for or renewing driver’s licenses, photo IDs, or motor vehicle registrations; purchase Honoring Our Veterans standard and motorcycle license plates; purchase Honoring our Women Veterans standard license plates; or make private donations.

The DMVA is authorized to solicit and accept donations to the VTF on behalf of the commonwealth. Tax-deductible donations can be made at www.donate.dmva.pa.gov; information about donating by mail is also available on this website.

To learn more about the VTF and the grant application process, visit https://tinyurl. com/padmva-vtf or www.face book.com/padmva.

boxes of goods to be delivered to the food bank. Boxes were filled to the brim with nonperishable goods such as canned vegetables, fruits, soup, meats, jars of peanut butter, pasta sauce and boxed cereal.

Next year, the school hopes to organize another drive and apply what its organizers have learned from operating the event two years in a row. Although the Lions Club is spearheading the event, Hurley and members of NHS want to connect with more organizations in the area to enlist their help with planning and expanding the drive. “We are so blessed to have worked together to gather provisions for community members for the second year,” said Hurley. “Seeing the joy of students as they carried food donations to the truck is a memory I will carry with me.”

Students gathered after carrying boxes of nonperishable goods to be loaded onto the truck on the day of the drive.

The food drive collected over 1,700 donations from the school.
