Columbia seniors urged to “embrace the moment”

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

“Embracing the Moment” was the theme of the speeches delivered by members of Columbia High School’s Class of 2024 during their graduation ceremony on May 30.

The speakers were Aiden Stover, Kaitlin Scheele and Brooke Droege.

For Aiden, the topic of the speech was particularly inspirational.

“My speech talked about how this is our moment. It’s your moment. It’s not your family’s or anyone else’s moment,” he said. “It’s yours, and you should take in what’s happening right now.”

He noted that he struggled in his early school days, and he highlighted those challenges. “I had a hard time speaking when I was younger, causing me to lash out,” he said. “My speech talked about how I learned to overcome my communication

Eastern York Class of 2024 looks to the future

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

There’s nothing wrong with failure, Alex Guillaume told his fellow Class of 2024 members at Eastern York High School’s graduation on May 31. “At some point in our lives, we will fail, and that’s OK,” said the salutatorian in his speech. “It’s perfectly normal to fail. What matters is how we respond to that failure. Failure gives us two options: give up or try again. We, the Class of 2024, have proven we are resilient. When we fail, we get back up.”

The graduation ceremony featured

student and guest speakers, music from the Eastern York chamber choir, the presentation of a class gift and the awarding of diplomas to 128 students. Kaydence Strange was named valedictorian. Despite earning the honor of having the highest GPA among her peers, Kaydence noted that academics is not what comes to mind when she thinks of herself. “If you asked me to describe myself, I would respond with one word: athletic,” she told her classmates. “My whole life has been dedicated to sports.” A soccer player since early elementary school, she is also

“Each of the river townsColumbia, Marietta, Wrightsville - has qualities and quirks that make that community unique,” said Megan Salvatore, visitor They are better together.”

Everything unique about these river towns will be in the spotlight during Riverfest, an annual event to celebrate the Susquehanna River. Riverfest will be held from Friday, June 28, through Sunday, June 30, in and around the river.

“The goal of Riverfest is to showcase our place in American history and in its future as a recreation haven,” said Hope Byers, vice president of visitor

engagement for SNHA. “The river has long held significance to the local people and that remains the same today.”

Highlights of Riverfest include the Bridge Burner Challenge. In the multi-sport event, close to 100 racers will retrace the steps of the people who burned the bridge over the Susquehanna River connecting Wrightsville to Columbia in an effort to prevent the advance of Confederate forces

into Lancaster County during the Civil War.

“Heritage tours, lectures and other heritage-based programming showcases different moments in Civil War history, putting the spotlight on the region’s unique history,” Salvatore said.

This year, organizers have expanded activities for the whole family and for people with all interests, said Sophia Vayansky, program coordinator for SNHA. “We’ve managed to connect the burning of the bridge story to our local cemeteries, markets, geology, ecology and more,” she stated.

Riverfest will kick off on June 28 with live music from singer-songwriter Sarah Fiore as well as kids’ activities from 5 to 8 p.m. at Columbia Crossing River Trails Center, 41 Walnut St., Columbia. Tours of the river on the historic Chief Uncas will be offered, as well as a bus trip with the African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania, and tours at the First National Bank Museum and Susquehanna Riverlands State Park. Columbia businesses will be open late on June 28 as part of Fourth Friday.

Saturday, June 29, will feature events including the Bridge Burner Challenge, a kids’ bucket brigade at 10:15 a.m. and a recreation expo with more than 20 organizations and businesses that work along the river in Columbia River Park from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Experts from the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County, Marietta Old Town Hall Museum, Rivertownes PA USA, the Columbia Historic Preservation Society and SNHA will offer insights into the area’s history through tours and lectures throughout the weekend. A Marietta Riverfest Pub Crawl will feature bands and beer and will take place on June 29 from 1 to 6 p.m.

Sunday’s festivities will include lectures from the Friends of Lebanon Cemetery about local African Americans who defended the country, walking tours and a screening of the film “Glory.” The Burning of the Bridge Diorama and Museum, operated by Historic Wrightsville Inc., will be open for visitors, and the organization will sell pork dinners and sandwiches as a fundraiser.

struggles to now I’m speaking in front of my whole class.”

Aiden, the son of Jessica Ortiz and Murf Stover, attended Lancaster County Career & Technology Center for photography. He hopes to pursue a career in cinematography.

When the opportunity arose for any senior to write a speech to be considered for the graduation ceremony, Aiden said he hesitated at first. “Then, I started thinking back to my past, and I was like, ‘I don’t think I would have even pondered the possibility of ever doing this,’ so the fact that I am, that shows a lot of growth. That pushed me to want to do it even more.”

Kaitlin, who was active in the theater program at Columbia, focused her speech on taking what she learned on stage and applying it to real life.

“I wanted to try out for a speech because the theme really spoke to me,” she said. “You’re always living in the moment when you’re doing theater.”

She shared her tips for staying present, something that she acknowledged is hard for busy high school students.

“I try to take a breath and center myself and think, ‘Don’t worry about the future. That’s not happening yet. Don’t focus on the past, because that’s already happened and you can’t change it,’” she said. “The only thing you can control is the stuff right now, what you’re doing right now.”

Kaitlin is the daughter of Brian and Dawn Scheele. In addition to theater, her high school activities included serving as president of the National Honor Society, as a member of Mini-THON and as part of the choir. She plans to attend Millersville University, where she will study theater.

just trying to push through them,” she said. “For me, ‘embracing the moment’ means just living in the present and not letting mistakes and challenges define you.” Along with basketball, Brooke played volleyball at Columbia, was a cheerleader and served with Mini-THON and as Class of 2024 secretary, among other activities. After graduation, she plans to attend East Stroudsburg University to play basketball and study education. About 80 students graduated in the Class of 2024. Madison Bootie, the daughter of Jason and Tasha Bootie, was named salutatorian.

Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation, located in Millersville, is about to make history. In May, Acorn Acres’ founder and executive director, Betsy Shank, announced a new campaign to secure funding for a major expansion. In addition to enhancing Acorn Acres’ level of care and capacity for animals, the project will make the

organization Lancaster County’s first commercial wildlife facility.

Acorn Acres’ expansion will include an additional facility that will be equipped with advanced diagnostic tools such as fluoroscopy and X-ray machines, as well as an on-site laboratory. The new facility, which is approximately 2,000 square feet, was formerly

Brooke had a dual part in the graduation ceremony, serving not only as a speaker, but also as co-valedictorian with her twin sister, Brie. The girls are the daughters of Marjorie and Alex Droege.

A standout basketball player at Columbia, Brooke wove some of her basketball experiences into her speech. “I focused on embracing the challenges and getting the most out of challenges, instead of

a runner. “These sports pushed me to be stronger and not use excuses,” she said. “Do not let excuses stop you from achieving your goals.” She also cautioned her peers against focusing too much on one thing, noting, “Seniors, do not forget to experience life while still achieving future academic goals. Learn who you want to be. … Chase your dreams.”

Along with participating on the soccer, track and cross-country teams, Kaydence was a member of National Honor Society, the Varsity Club and SADD club. She is the daughter of David and Amanda Strange of Wrightsville. After graduation, she plans to continue her education and become a physician assistant.

Alex, the son of Jason and Beth Guillaume of Yorkana, was captain of the varsity track and field team and played varsity soccer. He also participated in National Honor Society, the Tri-M Music Honor Society, school musicals and King’s Knights, and he played in the orchestra. After graduation, he plans to attend Millersville University to study meteorology.

Class of 2024 president Aiden Evans also spoke at the graduation ceremony. She addressed her classmates about the journey they all took from starting in elementary school to crossing the stage as graduates. “Though the journey of the past 13 years may have flown by in a blur, the moments of growth and camaraderie we shared along the way were nothing short of beautiful,” she said. At Eastern York, Aiden was captain of the varsity volleyball team, president of SADD club and a member of National Honor Society. She is the daughter of Christopher and Jacqueline Evans of Wrightsville. After graduation, she plans to attend the University of Miami to study biology on a premed track, starting with a semester studying abroad in Barcelona. Wrapping up her speech, Aiden noted that it’s natural to feel nervous about what comes next after high school. Still, she encouraged her peers to embrace change, adding, “Remember, the future isn’t something we enter. It’s something we create for ourselves.”

BIA announces Parade of Homes

The Building Industry Association of Lancaster County (BIA) has announced the annual virtual and in-person Parade of Homes. The event opened on June 15 and will continue on Wednesday, June 19, through Sunday, June 23. Tour hours are weekdays from 5 to 8 p.m. and weekends from noon to 6 p.m.

Sponsored by Fulton Bank and UGI Utilities and presented by BIA, the Lancaster/Lebanon Parade of Homes is a free public event that opens new homes for in-person and virtual tours. This year’s parade features 22 single-family homes, duplexes and remodeling projects from 13 different builders, ranging in price from $499,999 to over $1 million. Participants may visit 19 of the 22 homes in person and/or all the homes virtually utilizing 3D technology, providing a room-by-room view of each home’s innovative designs and details.

Detailed information on all of the home entries is available at www.lancaster paradeofhomes.com.

The ParadeSmart app is an additional feature that provides home details, directions and customizable routes. After downloading the app from their app store, users should select the BIA Parade of Homes.

The Parade of Homes Guidebooks with the same information is available at the BIA office, 204 Butler Ave., Lancaster, and copies of the book were mailed to more than 100,000 Lancaster and Lebanon County households.

The 2024 Parade of Homes showcases more than $17 million in new home construction and remodeling in Lancaster and Lebanon counties, incorporating the latest in design, decorating and trends, including smart home technology. This year’s featured trends include a first-floor owner’s suite, flexible living space, neighborhood amenities, smart features and a 55 and up community. Each trend is assigned an icon with the home’s listing in the guidebook and website to help people find the features they are looking for.

Other elements in select

homes include hidden storage solutions and flex rooms; a secondary, prep kitchen with a sink, dishwasher, microwave and beverage fridge; primary baths with freestanding soaker tubs and tile showers; a two-story family room with double chandeliers and a wall of windows; stone and shiplap fireplaces; coffered and tray ceilings; quartz countertops with oversized islands; wood beam-cased openings at the foyer; matte black appliances; interior and exterior statement lighting; and hardwood staircases with open stringers and high-contrast metal stair railings.

The homes were judged by a panel of building and industry experts, with awards presented at the annual Parade of Homes Gala on June 14. Homes were classified into divisions by price and judged with other homes in the same price division using a numerical scoring system, with awards for Best of Show, Kitchen, Bath, Interior Design, Exterior and Decorated. The top-scoring single-family and duplex homes each receive the Fulton Bank Award. Winners will be announced on the aforementioned Parade of Homes website.

The Building Industry Association of Lancaster County is a nonprofit organization of home builders and firms that service the building industry. The association represents

Professionals warn aspiring cliff divers not to jump to conclusions

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

In the ever-changing world of social media and the online landscape, new trends often take the country - and even the whole world - by storm. Nearly every American will groan at the mention of formerly ubiquitous internet trends such as the “cinnamon challenge,” which encouraged thousands of people to try swallowing an entire spoonful of the potent spice without coughing. As always, the general public gradually loses interest in these trends to make room for whatever hot topic will take its place. Most online trends are relatively harmless, but some of them, including the budding fad of rock and cliff diving, pose a serious risk to people who engage in them without taking the necessary precautions.

Columbia, local medical professionals have made an effort to discourage attempts to practice cliff jumping in the area.

Recently, some school administrators sent an email to students and their parents to highlight a few specific concerns, asserting “there is nothing remotely safe about cliff jumping or diving into the Susquehanna River.” Due to the presence of a hydroelectric dam in Safe Harbor, the river has an unpredictable variation in depth that poses a threat to any diver, and many submerged objects are not visible from high above the surface.

Acorn Acres

used as a veterinary office building, and it will allow Acorn Acres to bring in more volunteers, more animals and members of the public who wish to take a look at the many ways it serves the community.

In recent weeks, various social media platforms have seen an increase of content depicting thrill seekers who enjoy plunging from the top of steep cliffs into rivers and other bodies of water. The precarious pastime has been safely practiced by trained professionals and extreme sportsmen for years, but the abrupt and widespread interest among teenagers and young adults has prompted many local school districts to issue a warning to Lancaster County residents interested in trying it out themselves. Due to the county’s proximity to the Susquehanna River, which is easily accessible to areas such as Pequea, Washington Boro, Holtwood and

Additionally, many people believe jumping into water is entirely safe because of the cushion the water provides. According to the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) website, most cliff diving related injuries are associated with the water entry, and divers’ entry position plays a key role in how severely an individual can be injured. During a study conducted in 2013, NLM determined foot and ankle injuries as the most common result of cliff diving, and more than 50% of injured divers entered the water feet first.

While you’re brainstorming fun activities to try out this summer, it may be wise to heed medical professionals’ warning and remember that the Susquehanna River isn’t known for its diving-friendly landscape - no matter how exciting the activity may seem online.

Shank said she initially spoke with Ryan and Ashley Tuma, the owners of the new facility, roughly one year ago about using the space for Acorn Acres. After discussing the potential expansion while Shank was teaching in North Carolina, Ashley suggested the two women meet in person on Feb. 28, unaware that it was the one-year anniversary of the passing of Acorn Acres’ late mascot, Poppy the groundhog. “I said, ‘I hear you, Poppy. I’ll go,’” added Shank. Once the details were squared away, Shank officially partnered with Ryan and Ashley to rent the new space and launch the Capacity Campaign.

“I’ve had to turn away animals from Acorn Acres every year because we literally run out of room,” Shank said. “This new facility will allow us to take a higher number of animals,

welcome additional volunteers and bring in additional species.” Currently, Acorn Acres specializes in rehabilitating squirrels, rabbits and woodchucks; the expansion will enable the organization to extend its care to bats and Pennsylvania’s only native marsupial, the Virginia opossum.

Once the new facility is officially up and running, Shank plans to offer tours to members of the public. Due to regulations, wildlife centers are not able to exhibit animals in rehabilitation to prevent them from growing accustomed to human contact. The examination rooms in the new building are equipped with one-sided windows, which will allow guests to see the animals while avoiding direct contact.

Acorn Acres’ primary goal is now to secure funding for the move into the facility and its continued operation. To make a donation online, visit https:// tinyurl.com/AcornAcres Expansion. For more information or to view other donations options, visit www.acornacreswr.com/ capacity_campaign.
