Thunder on the River will roll into town

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

If you hear a rumble in the air at noon on Saturday, June 15, don’t worry about the weather. This thunder will be coming from more than 500 cars, trucks and motorcycles revving their engines in unison as part of a Columbia tradition.

“We started this tradition a few years ago, and it’s become a highlight of the show,” said Paul Resch, president of the Columbia Lions Club, which hosts the Thunder on the River event.

“A lot of people think that’s how the car show got its name since the sound of 500 engines at full throttle sounds a lot like a thunderstorm. The truth is, we came up with the name first, and then a few years ago someone had this idea. It was perfect.”

The 10th annual Thunder on the River will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Locust Street between Second and Sixth streets and in Locust Street Park.

Thunder on the River will bring thousands of visitors to Columbia to admire the vehicles; enjoy

“There’s a story behind every car.”

food for purchase from local restaurants, churches, nonprofit organizations and vendors; and listen to oldies music while enjoying a fun-filled day.

An honor guard from Boy Scout Troop 35 will march down Locust Street and display the American flag at noon, after

which the national anthem will be played, and participants will rev their engines. The Kracker Beez will provide live music.

All makes and models of cars, trucks and motorcycles are welcome. Show organizers will award 85 trophies, including Best of Show and the Barry Doutrich Memorial Trophy.

Doutrich owned an auto repair shop and founded the car show in 2005 under the name Cruisin’ Columbia. The Lions continued it in 2014 after Doutrich passed away. Other trophy categories include Best Preserved, Best Import, Best Truck, Best Cycle and Best Street Rod.

Whimsy will

on display in garden tour

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

In a former parking lot next to George Shinkosky’s house in Marietta, a grand piano serves as a garden centerpiece.

The musician and avid fan of whimsy has removed the keys and planted pansies in their place. It’s just one of the many secret treasures you’ll discover on the Marietta Garden Tour.

The event will be held on Sunday,

June 16, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature eight gardens, each with unique perspectives.

“There are some very unusual creations by people on this tour,” said Karen Sullivan, garden tour chair. “You’ll be surprised by what you see. The difference among the eight is unusual also. It’s amazing what people think of and invent in their gardens.”

George and his wife, Pat, spent more than a year transforming

Building character through bicycling

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

Over the past decade, Lee DeRemer has watched great things happen with Lifecycles.

The nonprofit Christ-centered mentoring program aims to build young people of character through bicycling.

“This program appeals to a

said. “For many kids, this is the first thing that clicks, and that’s very rewarding.”

Lee and his wife, Marcie, started Lifecycles with a mission of supporting youths in the community. “This program always has been and still is 100% free for the boys and girls who participate,” Lee said, noting that bikes, helmets and other safety gear are all provided if needed, along with a free hot meal every time the group gets together for a ride.

“This year, we’ve got 139 boys

“The bulk of our participants are from Lancaster County, but we have folks from York, Lebanon, Dauphin and Perry counties, too.” The program is open to youths ages 12 to 18, and Lifecycles teams are split into boys’ and girls’ groups. Boys’ and girls’ teams ride from Riverfront Park, 551 Vinegar Ferry Road, Marietta, on Tuesdays at 5:45 p.m., and boys’ and girls’ teams also ride from Amos Herr Park, 1700 Nissley Road, Landisville, at 5:45 p.m. on Thursdays.

Other stops on the tour include water features such as ponds and waterfalls, a Zen garden, raised vegetable beds, container gardens and native plants.

“The organization supports two buildings on the property,” Sullivan said. “The proceeds will go toward maintenance and upkeep of the property.”

A girls’ team will ride a six-day, 230-mile route along the coast of Lake Michigan, finishing at Mackinac Island. Boys’ teams will ride a six-day, 320-mile route from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C., on the Great Allegheny Passage/C&O Canal trail; a six-day, 290-mile route to Niagara Falls; and an eightday, 350-mile route from northern Pennsylvania through the Adirondack Mountains.

Teams will ride locally during the week through the end of August, and Lifecycles will continue with rides on two Saturdays in both September and October.

Although the season has already started, youths can join the program at any point. Volunteers are also welcome at any time, Lee said.

Along with the tour, the event will feature a pork barbecue meal available at the Marietta Community House, 264 W. Market St. The meal will include a pulled-pork sandwich, chips, slaw, baked beans, a dessert and a drink. It will be available to eat in or to go.

“It is a totally walkable tour,” she said. “All eight stops are very close together. You’re going to see a lot of creativity and unique creations.”

He noted that as Lifecycles celebrates 10 years of serving youths, he continues to appreciate the impact the program has on its participants.

“It’s common for a lot of teens to feel unseen in their school environment,” he said. “They are flourishing in Lifecycles.”

“The car show is always the third Saturday in June, which almost always is the day before Father’s Day,” he remarked. “It’s a great way to celebrate fathers, grandfathers and father figures in our lives. There’s a story behind every car. You’ll see a lot of vehicles that have special connections to fathers and sons, fathers and daughters and grandfathers and grandchildren.”

Proceeds from the show will benefit several nonprofit organizations, including Columbia Borough Fire Department, Habitat for Humanity, The Common Wheel, Columbia United Veterans Council’s Memorial Day Parade, Wenger Center for youth sports and the Lions vision/eyeglasses project.

Waystock will return to Landisville

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

Wayside Presbyterian Church, 600 Stony Battery Road, Landisville, will hold the 12th annual Waystock community music fest from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 8. The free event will include performances from various local artists and family-friendly activities, and it will benefit the Hempfield Area Food Pantry.

The celebration will take place on the lawn of Wayside’s property, and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets for seating. Picnic-style seating will be available under the church’s outdoor pavilion, and activities will occur inside in the event of rain.

Three local bands will perform, including Wayside’s praise band, Grace Notes. The Glossbrenner United Methodist Church Praise Band will kick off the show at 12:30 p.m., followed by bluegrass outfit Dolores Creek at 1:40 p.m.

Grace Notes will play an arrangement of songs at 2:50 p.m. to close out the concert.

A kids’ block party will begin at noon, featuring games and activities such as an inflatable obstacle course, a station for balloon crafts and a small silent auction for Lego sets and retail gift cards. Free food and drinks will be offered while supplies last, including Wawa soft pretzels, Hershey’s Ice Cream, snow cones and popcorn. The Pet Pantry of Lancaster County will operate a table with a prize wheel and share information on its services. Cylo, the Stormers’ mascot, will make an appearance at 1 p.m.

Stormers’ mascot Cylo and Wayside pastor Steve Fritz invite the public to attend the 12th annual Waystock music fest.

Wayside staff members Sonja Eckert, Rachel Holsey and Michelle Hess will be present to offer insight on the church’s upcoming youth programs and summer activities, including various pop-up events and a vacation Bible school that will take place from Friday, July 12, to Sunday, July 14.

Although there will be no admission

fee to Waystock, guests may bring nonperishable canned goods or a cash donation to support the Hempfield Area Food Pantry. Attendees who bring five or more nonperishable items will be eligible to participate in a prize drawing for a $50 gas card. The annual Waystock tradition was started by Chris Rowles, a founding member of Grace Notes. Rowles organized an evening concert in the yard of the church that featured several local praise bands, and church leadership decided to use the event as a way to benefit the Hempfield Area Food Pantry. The concert has continued to benefit the food pantry every year, and Wayside has raised thousands of dollars for the organization since hosting the first Waystock. “From the beginning, we chose a local mission to support. Wayside participates in global, national and regional mission, and we’ve also chosen to get involved with Hands Across the Street at Columbia Presbyterian Church,” said Steve Fritz, Wayside’s pastor. “Both organizations serve struggling individuals and families in our neighborhoods.” In

addition to raising donations for Hempfield Area Food Pantry, members of Wayside’s congregation frequently volunteer to bag food items, serve meals and provide music at monthly community dinners.

The grant proposals, submitted to the Sierra Club - Lancaster Group over the past several months, were evaluated on criteria such as environmental objective, unique aspect of the project, quality of submission, and how the Lancaster Group might be involved. The grants were in the past financed primarily with funds generated by the group’s Polar Bear 5K Trail Run/Hike and more recently were funded with money donated to the Group by its participation in the ExtraGive. Charitable, educational, or business organizations in Lancaster County that demonstrate a commitment to the Sierra Club’s mission of “exploring, enjoying, and protecting the planet” are eligible to apply for a grant.
