Holiday Bucket List makes spirits bright BY CATHY MOLITORIS
“There are a lot of holiday activities happening across York and Lancaster counties,” said Megan Salvatore, visitor service representative for Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA). For the first time, SNHA has
created a Holiday Bucket List, highlighting 25 events throughout the region. SNHA staff members had created bucket lists previously, but none focused solely on holiday events, Salvatore explained. “Susquehanna National Heritage Area has a mission to connect the See Holiday Bucket List pg 3

Sharing Christmas smiles with seniors ometimes, when she’s out running errands, Helen Bechtold feels like a celebrity. “It could be July and it’s about 105 degrees outside, and people will see me on the street and they’ll say, ‘Hey! You’re the Christmas lady!’” she said with a smile. For the 36th year, Bechtold is organizing a free Christmas Day dinner for anyone age 55 or older. The meal will be available for pickup only at the Hambones Social Club of the Columbia Borough Fire Department, 726 Manor St., from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 25. “ We’re going to have ham, turkey, filling, mashed potatoes, a vegetable, a roll and butter and a dessert,” Bechtold said. “I wasn’t sure we were going to be able to have turkey, because our volunteers are getting older and it’s a job to cook and prepare the turkeys, but we found enough help to do it.”

“This is not charity,” Bechtold said. “This is not just for lowincome people. This is strictly for people who will be alone on the holiday. Christmas is a special day, and seniors should not be alone. Even though they can’t stay and eat there, they can come in and visit with us when they pick up their meal.” She emphasized that anyone who would like a meal should sign up for one. “I want to make sure no one is ashamed to call,” she said. Asked what keeps her going with the project year after year, Bechtold said she has a heart for seniors. She worked for Columbia Senior Center for more than 20 years, and when she retired, she wanted to continue serving seniors. “I just get a kick out of it,” she said. “I love to see their smiles.” Meals will be available by reservation only. To reserve a meal, call Bechtold at 717-604-4285 or Luzader at 717-475-2562 by Sunday, Dec. 17.

Along with the meal, each senior will receive a bag of food, much of which Bechtold purchases herself. “If I see something I think a senior will like in their bag, I’ll pick it up for them,” she said. “I like to give them things they don’t normally go out and buy.” Although she loves giving back, she noted that she’s looking for community support of donations of gift cards, candy or other items for the bags. “After the pandemic, we thought things would get easier, but it’s really gotten harder for people,” Bechtold said, noting that last year she served more than 100 meals. “We’re asking the community for more help than ever because the cost of living keeps going up.” Bechtold is joined in her Christmas meal effort by Sis Luzader, who has been helping with the meals for 35 years. Any senior is eligible to receive a meal and food bag, no matter their income or circumstances.
Seeing Santa around towns in Lancaster and York counties is one of the activities on the Holiday Bucket List.
Joy runs through “Hello, Dolly!” BY CATHY MOLITORIS
“This show is classic Broadway at its best,” said Becky Groff, who plays the title character in “Hello, Dolly!” “It’s just fun. The songs are singable. The show is heartwarming, but never sad. This is not a ‘walk away thinking in deep about your life’ show. This is a show you walk away from singing and smiling, and who doesn’t love that?” “Hello, Dolly!” will be performed at Susquehanna Stage, 133 W. Market St., Marietta, on select dates from
Friday, Dec. 8, through Sunday, Dec. 17. The story follows Dolly, a widow socialite-turned-matchmaker who works to find matches for others while navigating her own love story. “The show is technically about the exploits of Dolly, but that’s not really what it’s about,” Groff stated. “It’s about finding love in unexpected places.” It’s also about finding where you belong, said Amanda Trusty, who plays Irene Molloy. “A main theme

in this show is chosen family,” she said. Groff noted that many of the characters in the show are stuck in jobs or roles that don’t make them happy. “I think a theme is ‘Don’t wait to live,’” she said. “Don’t wait until you retire to have a life, because life is too short.” When the cast began rehearsals for the show, director Keifer Kemmerly emphasized the overarching emotion he wanted audiences to take away from the show, Trusty said. “His whole thesis is ‘joy,’” she shared. “Everything in the show is infused with joy.” Josh Glacken, who plays Horace Vandergelder in the show, said he was familiar with “Hello, Dolly!” and he was initially hesitant to audition. “Honestly, I didn’t love the show, but I had only seen it performed at a high-school level,” he admitted. “This is very different, and I’m so
happy I’m a part of this. It’s really a great show and it’s going to be very enjoyable for audiences.” Sean Reynolds, who plays Cornelius Hackl in the show, echoed Glacken’s thoughts, adding, “Sometimes people might think with golden age musicals that they’re dated. I don’t think any of the material in this show is dated. The songs, the energy, the plot it’s all very translatable to a modern audience.” The cast of “Hello, Dolly!” features 21 actors, which is on the smaller side for a typical production of the musical, said Reynolds. “It’s nice, because everybody in the show gets a chance to shine, and everyone can be seen on stage,” he remarked. “I think that’s rare in a lot of musical theater, where there is often a really big ensemble.” The cast also features several younger actors, who surprised Groff at an early

rehearsal. “They didn’t know the song ‘Hello, Dolly!’” she recalled with a smile. “They had never seen or heard this show.” She considers that an opportunity to spread the joy of a timeless musical out to new audiences. “If you saw it when you were a kid, or if you’ve never seen it
before, come see this,” she said. “It’s a fun show, and it’s just universally appealing.” “Hello, Dolly!” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Dec. 8, 9, 15 and 16, as well as on Thursday, Dec. 14. It will also be performed at 2 p.m. on Sundays, Dec. 10 and 17. For more information, visit www.susquehannastage.com.

Holiday Bucket List from pg 1 people and communities of Lancaster and York County in order to celebrate our shared heritage, encourage preservation and promote sustainable economic growth,” she stated. “The Holiday Bucket List invites people to immerse themselves in the diverse holiday traditions of our national heritage area. By participating in the bucket list activities, you can support a local business and our many arts and culture organizations.” The list provides activities to help people get into the holiday spirit, Salvatore commented. “We encourage residents and visitors to utilize the list as a tool to keep your
family busy discovering something new or to show visiting family around during holiday visits,” she said. “Many of the activities stretch from now until the new year.” Activities on the list include catching a holiday performance at a local theater, driving through holiday lights at the Barnstormers’ stadium in Lancaster and watching winter wildlife at a local nature preserve. On Saturday, Dec. 9, Columbia Crossing River Trails Center, 41 Walnut St., will host a Natural Ornament Making program as part of the Bucket List. “Families are invited to join us between 11 a.m. and

3 p.m. to make ornaments from acorns, pinecones, twigs, hemlock cones and wood slices,” Salvatore said, noting that a small donation is requested to help cover expenses. “It’s a great way to deck the halls.” Anyone who completes at least five tasks on the Holiday Bucket List can pick up an SNHA sticker prize, she said. People are encouraged to share photos of activities from the list on social media and then submit a digital form at https://susqnha.org/susque hanna-nha-holiday-bucket-list or stop by Columbia Crossing in person to claim the sticker. The Holiday Bucket List will be active through Jan. 31, 2024.
Salvatore explained that the list was created as a collaborative effort among SNHA staff members. “We tried to cover as many (activities) as possible,” she said. “It was important to showcase the longstanding traditions and highlight our riverfront communities. The Holiday Bucket List is engineered to explore partners and sites offering a diverse mix of heritage, culture, recreation and libations unique to the holiday season in the Susquehanna NHA.” A paper copy of the list can be picked up at Columbia Crossing, or a digital version may be downloaded by visiting the aforementioned website.

This is the third year that the school has partnered with the Lions Club for the drive, which obtained more than 1,700 donations last year. Every year, Dayspring students are encouraged to support the drive through various incentives. Classes that secure an average of four donations per student are rewarded with a special dress day later in the year, when the kids are permitted to wear casual clothing in place of their standard uniforms. The class with the highest average of donated items is traditionally thanked with a pizza party. “In years past, we have had amazing success,” said Jayden Yon, president of the Dayspring’s chapter of the National Honor Society. “I am excited to see how both the Mountville community and the Dayspring community come together this year to bless the Columbia Food Bank.” The food drive was first held in 2021 after Lions Club member Jeff Weinman sug-
