There’s a trove of treasures waiting to be found at St. John’s Herr Estate when the retirement community hosts its annual Fall Fest. The event, which features an indoor yard sale and bake sale, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 16, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Luthercare senior living community, 200 Luther Lane, Columbia.
“We have a bigger selection this year than we’ve ever had,” said volunteer Andrea Robinson. Gently used books, puzzles, household items, jewelry and more will be for sale.
“It’s all local items from residents and their families,” said resident Bob Herr.

Celebrate all things wild and uncommon at the Pawpaw Festival
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
It’s the largest edible fruit native to the Eastern United States, and it grows naturally in the Susquehanna riverlands. It’s the pawpaw, and you can celebrate the treat at the 19th annual York County Pawpaw Festival, to be held on Saturday, Sep. 23, and Sunday, Sept. 24. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day at the Horn Farm Center, 4945 Horn Road, York.
This year’s festival will feature plant vendors; arts, crafts and home goods vendors; food vendors; and lots more, said Alexis Campbell, Horn Farm executive director.
“We are expanding the educational offerings during the event this year,” she noted. “On both days, we have a schedule of talks as well as tours and educational programs.”
Programs both days include a nature education tour for youths at 10:30 a.m. and a cultivated pawpaw

also be for sale, along with chicken corn soup, hot dogs, barbecue and drinks. The soup will be prepared by the chef at St. John’s Herr Estate and will be available to purchase by the bowl or quart for eat-in or takeout.
Proceeds from the event will support a variety of beneficiaries, said Robinson. “We support the benevolent fund, and we give money toward Christmas gifts for the staff and gifts for residents in personal care,” she stated. “Locally, we support Hands Across the Street, and we also support the Alzheimer’s Walk.”
Proceeds are also used for programs and activities at St. John’s. “We cover the cost of the entertainment at our residents’ New Year’s party,” said Carolyn Livingston. “The money will also support our library.” Residents
just cleaned out the library, selecting books to sell at the Fall Fest, she noted.
Volunteers have been working for months to sort and price items for the sale. “We’ve been meeting every Saturday morning since March,” Livingston shared. “We’ve been having so much fun getting ready for this. This is a really great group of volunteers.”
Resident Joni Leuck encourages people come to the Fall Fest, noting that it’s a fun opportunity to pick up a bargain. “Everything is reasonably priced,” she said, “and the event has a great sense of community.”
The Fall Fest will be held in the chapel at St. John’s, as well as in the rotunda, recreation room and main dining room. Free parking is available in a large lot.
Book recounts childhood memories
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Watching her granddaughter grow up, Barbara Rodgers noticed how different their childhoods were. “I realized she had no clue about things we did as kids growing up,” said the Hallam resident.
Inspired to share her memories, Rodgers wrote and illustrated “Growing Up on Fox Street,” a book about her school years in the 1960s in a small town in Pennsylvania.
The book was released in June, but Rodgers started working on it about four years ago. “I wanted to
write something about growing up at Christmastime,” she said. “Once I started writing, I couldn’t stop.”
The book features 19 chapters, full of stories of Rodgers’ experiences from kindergarten through ninth grade, from 1960 to 1969.
Rodgers grew up in Williamsport with two brothers and several cousins. Her book recalls the fun she had with her family, including spending time at her father’s hunting cabin, where there was no electricity and no running water.
“There was a creek nearby, and See Book pg 2

we’d play in that,” she recalled. “We loved it.”
The book also recounts how the kids would visit a local appliance store and drag oversized boxes home to create a city for imaginary play.
When she started the book, Rodgers planned to gear it toward younger readers, but it ended up being a longer project better suited for people ages 12 to 18, she said.
Her granddaughter, Lorelle, now 10, has heard parts of the book.
“I read it to her while I was working on it,” she said of sharing the stories with her grandaughter. “She would raise her hand like she was in school and ask me questions while I was reading it, so I decided to put some annotations here and there throughout the book.” The book also includes a few simple questions corresponding to each chapter, designed to encourage discussion.
Although much of the book is light-hearted, Rodgers did include historic events of the time period, including the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the Vietnam War. “I tried to hit on some history but without getting too deep or making it feel like you’re reading a textbook about the ’60s,” she said.
A retired graphic designer, Rodgers lives with her husband, Richard. They are the parents of one daughter and one granddaughter. Rodgers

is working on a second book, and she offers this advice to aspiring authors: “Just get started. At first, I was making all these notes, but you need to just sit down and start writing. And save little
mementos, because someday, you’ll look back on them, and they will bring back fond memories.”

Old-fashioned fun for the whole family
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
“This is a great opportunity to bring the community together and let people know how things used to be done,” said Ron Bernhard, describing Susquehanna Old-Fashioned Field Days. The festivities will be held on Saturday, Sept. 16, and Sunday, Sept. 17, at Conoy Park, 2115 River Road, Bainbridge. The Conoy Lions Club will serve breakfast beginning at 7 a.m. both days. Opening ceremonies will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday and at 10 a.m. on Sunday.
This is the 25th annual event, which features machinery exhibits, craft vendors, demonstrations and more.
A fishing derby for children age 15 and under will be held following the opening ceremonies each morning. Participants should bring their own bait and rod. A tractor parade will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday and at noon on Sunday. On Sunday morning, an interdenominational church service will be held from 9 to 10 a.m.
Live entertainment will include a performance by a bluegrass band, beginning about 10 a.m. on Saturday. A
benefit auction will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, featuring household goods, antiques, baked goods and more. Proceeds from the auction will be used to fund future Old-Fashioned Field Days.
“We have a lot of demonstrations going on throughout the whole event,” said Tonya Bernhard, who is on the event committee with Ron. Demonstrations will include corn shelling and corn grinding, shingle sawing and apple cider making. A chainsaw carving demonstration will also be held.
A variety of antique walkbehind garden tractors will be
on display, along with other lawn and garden equipment. Revolutionary War and Civil War re-enactors will be onsite as well. Local churches and nonprofit groups will set up stands, with food options including homemade ice cream, homemade apple dumplings, hot dogs, french fries and soup.
“This event is very familyoriented, and we have a lot of kids’ activities,” Ron noted, adding that barrel train rides and a hayride to a pumpkin patch will be offered.
Many people come to the event and stay all day, Tonya
said, encouraging people to bring chairs to sit on while listening to the music or watching demonstrations.
She emphasized that Susquehanna Old-Fashioned Field Days, which is hosted by the Conoy Lions Club, would not be possible without the support of the community and a team of volunteers.
“It’s just a really fun community event,” she stated. “It’s a nice way to bring everybody together.”

orchard tour with orchardist Dick Bono at noon. On Saturday, Locally Seasoned will present “Pawpaws in the Kitchen” at 2 p.m. Sunday’s highlights include a “Pawpaws and PA Wildlife” program with West Shore Wildlife Center at 12:30 p.m.
Along with scheduled programs, the festival will offer an opportunity to shop and eat, Campbell said. “We’ll have lots of great food as well as pawpaw trees and other native plants for sale,” she remarked. “It’s going to be a great celebration of food, art and nature and all things wild and unique about York County.”
Pawpaws ripen only for a few weeks in September, and the fruit is too delicate to ship or produce on a large commercial scale. The fruit has a cus-
tardy flesh that tastes like a cross between a banana and a mango.
The Pawpaw Festival helps the Horn Farm fulfill its goal of educational programming, Campbell noted. “Education is our mission here at the Horn Farm Center, and since the Pawpaw Festival draws beyond our regular audience, we really wanted to highlight our educational offerings as part of the event,” she explained. “We think there’s a lot to learn when it comes to the pawpaw.”
She added that the theme of this year’s festival is “Wild and Uncommon.” “That’s really what we feel the festival has become,” she said. “We engage so many different food vendors, crafters, artists, it’s really become a showcase of what’s unique to the region, specially
York County as well as the lower Susquehanna Valley. We think there’s something really special about the foods, the art and the craftsmanship here.”
This year, there are two ticket options for the Pawpaw Festival. People may purchase a general pass, which includes one-day admission, or a premium pass, which includes one-
day admission, a T-shirt designed by York artist Joanna Tice and entry into a door prize drawing for Horn Farm Center class vouchers. Premium passes tickets will only be available until 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 8. For more information and a complete list of vendors, visit https://hornfarmcenter.org/ pawpawfest.

Staying connected
How retirees can engage with their communities
People who are still a part of the workforce usually experience social interaction throughout the day as they collaborate on projects or gather with colleagues for lunch. Even those working remotely likely attend meetings virtually and communicate with co-workers by phone or email.
Without co-workers around, retirees may sometimes find their social lives lacking. People may need to take steps to strengthen their social capital, a term that describes the strength of a person’s social relationships
and the extent to which people feel physically and emotionally supported by their communities. Retirees may look to a variety of activities in the community to keep them connected with others.
- Join a club or group. Individuals can identify an activity they find interesting and determine if there is a way to get involved with it in their community. Senior centers or adult activity providers may sponsor local programs, and libraries often host a variety of club and interest group meetings.
- Participate in worship. Many older adults find they want to reconnect with their
faith at this point in their lives, even if attending services wasn’t a top priority earlier in life. Reach out to a local house of worship and find out when services take place and what activities are available.
- Read to children. Seniors can volunteer their services at a library by reading to youngsters. Interacting with other generations can be inspiring.
- Volunteer at a soup kitchen or food pantry. Times continue to be challenging for many people who may find it hard to cover their expenses, and soup kitchens and food pantries can be a saving grace for those who might otherwise miss meals. Volunteering
Engaging hobbies for seniors
The value of hobbies is undeniable. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology found that employees who engaged in creative hobbies outside of work were more creative on work projects and had a better attitude on the job. A separate study published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2009 reported that individuals who engaged in enjoyable leisure activities had lower blood pressure and a
smaller waist circumference.
The beneficial nature of hobbies is good news for seniors, many of whom have ample time for leisure activities. Whether seniors are retired or still working but don’t have the responsibilities of parenting, the following are some fun and engaging hobbies to fill that free time.
- Cooking: Years spent hustling and bustling through the daily grind of personal and professional obligations might have

one’s time at these organizations can help make a difference in the lives of community members.
- Become a substitute teacher or paraprofessional. Many schools are experiencing shortages of qualified staff members. Retirees may find a place helping to shape the minds of youngsters by volunteering at schools or taking on part-time jobs in the classroom.
- Become a mentor. Seniors can share their knowledge and experiences with a student, family member or other community member. Mentors needn’t have an advanced degree or special certification,
but they should have more experience in a given field or subject than the mentee. The mentor should ask the mentee about his or her goals and expectations, listen carefully and then respond to the questions and needs of the mentee and adjust the material discussed as necessary to help the mentee meet his or her goals. Sessions should be planned at a time that suits both the mentee and mentor. Mentoring does not only benefit mentees; for mentors, it can keep an aging mind sharp, provide additional meaning and purpose to life and foster social connections.
- Befriend neighbors. A
passing greeting may have been the norm when people were busy working, but once people are retired, they may have more opportunities to get to know their neighbors better. Neighbors may even take turns hosting get-togethers. Moving to a retirement or active adult community may facilitate such friendships.
- Volunteer with local government. Retirees may enter a local school board election or try to become a member of the town council.
These are just a few of the many ways that retiree may get involved in their community and maintain strong social ties.
forced individuals to focus on cooking that emphasized convenience over culinary skill. With more free time, seniors can look to cooking classes or take the selftaught route and purchase a new cookbook filled with delicious recipes. A wellcooked homemade meal can provide a sense of accomplishment and afford seniors an opportunity to control the ingredients in the foods they eat, which can be important for individuals with health-related dietary restrictions.
- Writing: Many individuals have penned their memoirs after notable careers and lives. While individuals needn’t make their memoirs public, writing can be a great way for seniors to document their own lives and the lives of their family members. Interest in genealogy has risen considerably in recent years, as easily accessible websites like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com have made it easier than ever for individuals to learn about their roots. Seniors can contextualize the information provided by genealogy websites by writing about their personal experiences and sharing what they know about the lives of their parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members.
- Gardening: Seniors looking for hobbies that get them out in the great outdoors need look no further than their own backyards. Gardening can benefit the body in myriad ways. According to the Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS), gardening has the potential to burn as many calories as working out in the gym. In addition, the MCHS notes that individuals who grow their own fruits and vegetables are more likely to include those foods in their own diets, thus saving them money at the grocery store and also increasing their intake of nutrient-rich foods.
- Swimming: Swimming is an ideal exercise for seniors, as it’s low-impact but still a great way to utilize the entire body. A 2007 study published in the journal Quality of Life Research found that water-based exercise improves older adults’ quality of life and decreases disability. A separate study published in 2008 in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness found that water-based exercise can improve or help to maintain bone health in post-menopausal women.
These are just a few of the many hobbies seniors can pursue as they look for positive and fun ways to spend their free time.
Happy trails: Tips to help seniors travel safely
Travel was once a key component of the picture that working professionals created of their ideal retirements. While the COVID-19 pandemic put many retirement travel plans on hold in recent years, jetting off to distant locales is once again on retirees’ radars.
Eagerness to get back on the road, in the air or on the high seas could make it easy to overlook some principles of safe travel. Such an oversight could lead to complications that could make it hard to enjoy time away from home. The following tips may reduce the likelihood that seniors encounter trouble while traveling.
- Determine if any health issues are affecting the planned destination.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers an online resource that provides the latest travel health notices for a multitude of travel destinations, along with recommendations of vaccinations that travelers should have. To access the resource, visit www.cdc .gov/travel/page/travel -vaccines.
- Speak to a physician. A
pre-trip consultation with a physician can uncover any issues that might arise during a trip. Health conditions may be easily managed for domestic travelers who are not planning to visit any especially remote locations, but some issues may not necessarily be as easily navigated when traveling overseas. Physicians can also recommend vaccinations or other measures to protect one’s health while traveling. In addition, a pre-trip doctor visit is a great time to refill prescriptions that will be needed during a vacation.
- Take financial precautions as well. Of course, not all travel-related concerns are medical. Finances also require attention prior to a trip. Inflation has caused a sharp spike in the price of various commodities since the start of 2022, so travelers should study up on the cost of food and attractions at their destination to ensure they take enough money. Baggage costs have risen significantly in recent years, so seniors traveling on a budget may want to pack less and do laundry while traveling in an effort to save

Titan Gilroy named keynote speaker
Titan Gilroy will be this year’s featured keynote speaker at the MX2023 Manufacturers’ Expo to be held on Thursday, Nov. 9, at the York Expo Center. Gilroy is CEO and founder of TITANS of CNC. Founded in 2005, the company specializes in manufacturing parts for the medical, subsea and aerospace industries.
Gilroy began his career in manufacturing when he walked away from his professional boxing career and his rough past, including prison time, and found himself in a CNC machine shop where everything in his life
changed. He shared his story on the reality series “Titan: American Built,” which was dedicated to American manufacturing.
In the third season he went to San Quentin Prison and built an Elite CNC Academy. It was because of this experience that Gilroy developed the free TITANS of CNC Academy curriculum, which is now backed by aerospace companies and industry partners like Kennametal, Mastercam and Mitutoyo, and endorsed by more than 1,000 companies and agencies, including NASA, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and Disney.
Veterans Court seeks volunteer mentors
The Lancaster County Veterans Treatment Court is seeking volunteer mentors for veterans involved in the court’s alternative sentencing program.
The court program is aimed at giving veterans who have committed a crime the opportunity to get their lives back on track. Those who complete the program successfully can have their record expunged, have more serious charges dropped and get a reduced sentencepossibly avoiding incarceration altogether. Program participants may have served in any branch of the U.S. military.
The rigorous program includes four phases, with requirements that participants abstain from alcohol and other drugs, find and maintain a job, participate in community service projects, attend court dates and show up for appointments with their probation officer and other court staff members.
The volunteer mentors must be veterans who are willing to take on a program participant as the participant moves through four phases. Mentoring typically involves attending weekly court sessions; keeping in touch with the mentee by text, phone or personal contact;
Gilroy will share a message of hope and redemption, along with practical tools for students, educators, shop owners and business leaders.
and serving as a supportive presence.
The Veterans Court is one of three treatment courts that have been established in the Lancaster County court system to give a second chance to offenders who have struggled with the use of alcohol and other drugs or who are struggling with an untreated mental illness. The Veterans Court is administrated by Judge Jeffery D. Wright, and the mentors’ involvement gives another layer of support to the participants who commit to the program.
Many of the veteran mentors who are involved are retired or have flexible schedules that permit them to attend weekly court dates and other activities. Volunteers who are people of color or women are especially wanted.
To learn more about volunteer opportunities, contact Rich Wilson at 717-466-0978 or look for the table sponsored by the Lancaster County Veterans Treatment Court at the upcoming Recovery Day Lancaster on Saturday, Sept. 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Buchanan Park, Buchanan and Race avenues, Lancaster.

money. In addition, the unpredictable nature of travel since the onset of the pandemic has underscored the utility of travel insurance. Seniors can look into travel insurance that could reimburse them in the case of delays or cancellations.
- Privately share the trip itinerary. Prior to departing, travelers should share their itinerary with friends and family members. They should avoid sharing the itinerary on social media platforms, which can make them a target for criminals at home and at their destination. The itinerary
should include where travelers are staying, the dates they will visit certain locations and the dates of activities they will be engaging in on the trip.
Seniors rediscovering the joy of traveling can take various measures to make their trips more safe.

Historic property added to state park
Lancaster Conservancy (the Conservancy) and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) have once again partnered to protect and care for a historic natural site in the Hellam Hills. The 21-acre property includes the Ironmaster House adjacent to the Codorus Furnace along with more than a third of a mile of the Codorus Creek. The property is an addition to the Susquehanna Riverlands State Park, established in 2022 through the joint efforts of the Conservancy and DCNR. The Conservancy protected this park in 2022 before transferring it to DCNR.
The Ironmaster House was built in the late 18th or early 19th century. In 1765, a furnace known as the Hellam Hills Iron Works was
estate on Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, N.Y., the headwaters of the Susquehanna River. After the Chief Uncas cruised the lake for 109 years, SNHA purchased the vessel in 2021 and transported it to Pennsylvania.
Donors for the project include Ann Barshinger of Lancaster and Doug Hoke and George and Bambi Long of York. Additional grant support was provided by the National
Park Service and Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Heritage Areas Program. Batteries to propel the Chief Uncas were donated by East Penn Manufacturing of Lyons, makers of Deka batteries. Brookfield Renewable Energy also supported the boat project with a contribution.
For more information about the Chief Uncas and the boat tours, visit www.SusqNHA.org.

In 1837, the Codorus Furnace was constructed and operated on the site of the previous Hellam Hills Iron Works. The Codorus Furnace is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Conservation Society of York County purchased and protected the Codorus Furnace in 1949, but the adjacent Ironmaster House remained unprotected. In January 2023, the Conservancy acquired the property that includes the Ironmaster House for transfer to the state in June.

Volunteers, Gold Star families, veterans, first responders, and their families will participate in a national flag-waving event intended to recapture the American pride and unity that was expressed in the days following 9/11. Americans are invited to join national nonprofit Wreaths Across America (WAA) in waving flags on Tuesday, Sept. 12, between 9 and 10 a.m.
The event will be hosted live on WAA’s official Facebook page and broadcast over Wreaths Across America Radio. The broadcasts will include interviews and stories from volunteers, supporters, Gold Star families, veterans, first responders, and members of the next generation.
WAA gathers every Tuesday from 9 to 10 a.m. to
raise the American flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance at the Freeport Flag Ladies Monument in Jonesboro, Maine, near the area where balsam is harvested to make wreaths for placement on veterans’ graves on National Wreaths Across America Day each December. The monument was built by WAA in partnership with its founder, Morrill Worcester, in September 2019, after the Freeport Flag Ladies retired following 18 years of waving the American flag in Freeport, Maine, each Tuesday since 9/11.
WAA encourages the American public to join this weekly tradition starting on Sept. 12 and share their pictures and videos on social media using the hashtag #FlagsAcrosstheCountry. People may also submit videos and photos at http://WreathsAcross America.memfox.io/ flagwaving. They may also share via their own social media channels and follow Wreaths Across America on Facebook.
This year, National Wreaths Across America Day will be held on Saturday, Dec. 16. To sponsor a wreath for a veteran or to learn about volunteering, visit www.wreaths acrossamerica.org.
