Kids Fishing Derby will encourage outdoor fun

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

Fishing offers an opportunity for people to learn more about nature, try their luck and have fun. That’s the goal of the annual Kids Fishing Derby, hosted by the Donegal Fish and Conservation Association (DFCA). The event will be held on Saturday, April 13, at the reflecting pond on the grounds of Donegal Presbyterian Church, 1891 Donegal Springs Road, Mount Joy, from 8 to 11 a.m. All youths age 11 and under as well as all handicapped anglers who possess a current Pennsylvania fishing license are invited to participate.

“The Fishing Derby is important to the Donegal Fish and Conservation Association

because it gives local kids an opportunity to catch trout in an area that has been stocked with fish specifically for them,” said Scot Harlacher, DFCA volunteer,

For a showcase of local talent performing fan favorites and more, head to Susquehanna Stage. The theater, located at 133 W. Market St., Marietta, will host The Cabaret of Award Winners at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 12, and Saturday, April 13,

as well as at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 14.

“The Cabaret of Award Winners features 21 songs from a variety of award-winning shows and artists, including Grammys, Oscars, Tonys and a few others,” said Amy Hoffman, who is co-directing the show with Jason Genise-Gdula. “There will be some well-known

He’s hoping programs like the Fishing Derby encourage participants to pursue the pastime. “Many kids will enjoy learning about nature then wish to continue in outdoor activities as they get older,” he said. “Our ultimate goal is to teach and model the ideals of conservation and stewardship so that those values can be continued in the future.”

In addition to the Fishing Derby, Donegal Presbyterian Church will host a pancake breakfast that is open to the general public. The breakfast will be served from 7 to 11 a.m. in the church fellowship hall. Proceeds will benefit the

In 2022, Dave Chobanoff of Marietta organized the first Putting for Miracles, a charity golf tournament to benefit children’s hospitals. It was not the first time Chobanoff became involved with the cause; for many years, he has participated in Extra Life and other programs offered through the Children’s Miracle Network to raise funds for the Penn State Health Children’s Hospital in Hershey. Although Chobanoff said he envisioned growing the size of the event and eventually helping

it become an annual fundraiser, he was shocked by how quickly Putting for Miracles took off.

“It blew my mind what was accomplished,” Chobanoff said. “When I was first conceiving (Putting for Miracles), I remember someone telling me he could see the event bringing in tens of thousands of dollars. I thought it was crazy talk; I never thought it would grow this big in two years.” In 2022, Putting for Miracles drew roughly 60 players, and it raised more than $5,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network. Last year, the fundraiser attracted more than

In 1924, Helen Breneman gathered a group of women to form what she envisioned as “a cozy little literary club.” For 100 years, the Mountwaybia Clubnamed for the hometowns of the original members, Mountville and Columbia, as well as the Lincoln Highway that joins the towns - has been drawing women together.

Over the years, many things have changed for the club. Gone are the musical selections played on the Victrola during club meetings and the $1 annual dues. But despite the decades, most things are unchanged, as the club still provides an opportunity for women to gather in members’ homes to carry out the motto “Culture, Friendship and Service.”

The Mountwaybia Club meets twice a month on Wednesdays from October to April, concluding the year with a spring social in May. At each meeting, a club member serves as hostess, and another gives a report before

tea and other refreshments are served.

“We run our meetings differently than other book clubs,” said club member Marianne Nolt. “Some people just read a book and then they all discuss it. We have a business meeting to start, and then each person takes a month to be the reporter.” The woman presenting the report may choose the topic, focusing on a book or a subject of personal interest.

At a recent meeting, club vice president Deanna Lawrence offered a biography about Robert Frost and then read one of her favorite poems of his, noting that she met the renowned poet as a 10th-grade student in York. Club secretary-treasurer Elaine Savukas gave a business report. Club president Kathy Hengst served as a hostess and also as the main presenter, giving a short talk about Longwood Gardens followed by a slideshow of the attraction.

When it was founded, the

100 players and doubled its proceeds.

This year, Putting for Miracles will be held on Saturday, May 18, at Leisure Lanes, 3440 Columbia Ave., Lancaster. Registration will begin at 9 a.m., and the mini golf tournament will commence with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Chobanoff has added a cornhole tournament to this year’s event, which will also begin at 10 a.m. A rain date has been set for Sunday, May 19.

Chobanoff continues to expand Putting for Miracles every year. In 2023, the event featured multiple vendors and food tracks, and Chobanoff’s group of staff members welcomed extra volunteers to ensure things ran smoothly. This year, Chobanoff partnered with Keystone Cornhole ACL to add the cornhole tournament, and he said he plans to continue to up the ante every year.

Putting for Miracles 2024 will again feature numerous food trucks, vendors and prize drawings for items donated by local businesses and organizations. Trophies and medals will be given to each tournament’s winning players.

Each previous Putting for Miracles event has included a visit from a child who has benefited from programs offered by Children’s Miracle Network. This year’s fundraiser will include another appearance from a guest speaker who will share his or her experience with Children’s Miracle Network. Putting for Miracles will also be held in association with Play Yellow and Extra Life programs

operated by Children’s Miracle Network. Both programs share a similar goal: Extra Life, which Chobanoff has participated in for many years, gives video game enthusiasts and online streamers a platform to raise money as they play. Play Yellow offers a similar opportunity for golfers throughout the country.

church’s annual mission trip to upstate New York.

“We have been running this (mission) project for about 25 years and expect to take about a dozen volunteers this year to work on several handicapped ramps for multiple families,” said Harlacher, who is also a member of the church. “We truly appreciate any donations for this effort because the funds help us with building materials, gas, food, etc., and allow

us to have an immediate positive impact on the lives of a few needy families.”

The DFCA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring the Donegal watershed to its original state. In cooperation with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, the DFCA has raised more than 3,000 trout annually since 1964 for stocking in the Donegal Creek.

“I encourage families to bring

their kids to the Fishing Derby because they will have a reasonable chance to catch some trout,” Harlacher commented. “Even if you don’t intend to fish, it’s a great opportunity to be outside and watch how excited and happy the participants will be. We do hold the event rain or shine, so please be prepared for the weather and cold temperatures.”

All fishermen must bring their own equipment and clean their

own fish. DFCA members will be on hand until 11:30 a.m. to help fishermen, but all fishing will stop at 11 a.m. All participants must register with the DFCA on the day of the derby. Parking will be permitted only in the Donegal Presbyterian Church parking area, with no street parking.

standards and Broadway songs, as well as some popular music and even a few the audience may not know.”

The show will feature 28 performers entertaining as duets, a trio and several solo artists. “Some of them have been seen at Susquehanna Stage in the past in mainstage shows, children’s shows or cabarets, and some are brand new to our theater,” Genise-Gdula shared. “Performers range from a 7-year-old, who is singing a duet with his mom, to retirees.” Local musicians Sharon Boyer and Pat Enos will serve as accompanists. This will be the fifth cabaret Hoffman and Genise-Gdula have directed. The duo approached Jim Johnson, the theater’s artistic director, with the idea, and Johnson enthusiastically endorsed it, Hoffman said. “We recognized that there were a lot of people who did not have the time to commit to performing in a full show, and this became a great opportunity for them to be able to perform,” she commented. “It also gives people

the opportunity to perform some of their favorite songs.”

The cabaret will be performed on the theater’s Gallery Stage, and the directors recommend purchasing tickets in advance. “Our past cabarets have always sold out, so we added an extra performance this year,” Hoffman said. “Our audience will enjoy hearing a variety of songs with different styles and genres, from toe-tapping to tearjerkers. The songs span the decades, and they might even discover a new favorite.”

Mount Calvary will perform “Hello, Dolly!”

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

What happens when a busybody matchmaker comes to town on a mission? In the case of “Hello, Dolly!” a lot of comedy, chaos and love.

Mount Calvary Christian School will present “Hello, Dolly!” at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, through Saturday, April 13, with an additional performance at 2 p.m. on April 13. Performances will be held at the school, 629 N. Holly St., Elizabethtown.

“Dolly is very confident, bold and loud,” said Sophia Bozell, a sophomore who plays the title character. “She’s always the loudest one in the room.”

When Dolly decides she wants to keep her latest match, Horace Vandergelder, for herself, her decision has a ripple effect that impacts several other residents of 1890s New York, where the show is set.

“The characters have to learn to go with the flow through everything,” said Malachi Shenk, a junior who portrays Cornelius Hackl, Horace’s employee. “Horace is thrown for a loop, and he goes through a whole bunch of ups and downs, but he makes it through, and at the end, he’s happy and Dolly’s happy.”

really a happy and uplifting show,” she stated.

“Hello, Dolly!” features a cast of 35 sixth- through 12th-graders, and the students have been working on the musical since December. It shows in the quality of the production numbers, said Jordan DeGroft, a junior who portrays

Horace. “There are some really outstanding scenes, including ‘The Waiters’ Gallop,’” he commented. “That’s one to really look forward to. You’ll see a bunch of featured dancers do a really hard dance.”

Even though the show is set in the 1800s and it’s been performed

Happiness and love are overall themes of the show, said senior Ava Fouse, who plays Irene Molloy. “It’s

“It was an outlet for women to do something academic, stretching themselves and learning something new,” Lawrence explained.

Club member Joanna Smith noted that when she moved to the area in the 1960s, she read about the club in the local newspaper, and she recognized club member names as the movers and shakers of the community.

Early on, the club set a priority on supporting the community, and today the group continues that mission. Each Christmas season, the members take up a collection to benefit organizations including the Columbia Food Bank, and the group donates annually to the Mountville, Columbia and Mount Joy libraries.

The club membership has dwin-

dled over the years to about eight active members. Although the group is looking for more women to join, the members noted that it takes a commitment. “You have to be willing to give a report and be a hostess to join,” said member Maria Wassell, who, with Linda Burrichter, rounded out the attendance at a recent meeting.

Burrichter, who calls herself an “emeritus member,” moved to Lebanon a few years ago but found she missed the group so much, she wanted to attend meetings when able.

“There is no literary club out there

that is like Mountwaybia,” she said. “This is a really unique group.”

Lawrence agreed, adding with a laugh, “I probably joined because I liked the idea of the tea. I was not a prolific reader. But I like the camaraderie in the group. Everybody wants to learn something. We’re still lifelong learners here.”

Club members are in search of descendants of former Mountwaybia members who may have memories to share of the club. For more information on the Mountwaybia Club, contact Smith at jorings@yahoo .com or 717-653-2019 or Lawrence at 717-490-0111.

The Mount Joy Area Historical Society will host Robert Frick as the guest speaker at its meeting on Monday, April 15. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Cemetery Road Schoolhouse, 120 Fairview St., Mount Joy.

The Maytown Historical Society will meet on Thursday, April 18, at 6:30 p.m. at the East Donegal Township Municipal Building, 190 Rock Point Road, Maytown. The topic of the program will be the Vinegar Ferry, which ran from the Lancaster County side to the York County side of the Susquehanna River.

Landis is a local expert on ferries and has done extensive research on the Vinegar Ferry. He will share pictures and information.

Maloney is a local author who

Attendees will learn how the Vinegar Ferry got its name, how often the ferry crossed the river and what years it was in operation. A roundtable discussion will be presented, featuring three men who all have ties to the history of the ferry - Jan Landis, Michael Maloney and Jeff Franek.

lives in York County, but his roots are in Lancaster County. Growing up with family on both sides of the Susquehanna River, he crossed back and forth countless times and explored the river hills every summer. He is the author of “Across the River: Murder at Accomac.”

The original owner of the Vinegar Ferry, Christian Winiker, is his sixth great-grandfather.

Franek currently lives in the original

ferry house on the York County side of the river. He plans to display the original deed/indenture of the ferry area.

Community members are welcome to attend the program. Those with questions may contact Linda Good at 717-725-2437.
