Adapted Adventure Sports Easterseals’ Adapted Adventure Sports programs gives people in York and surrounding areas the ability to try something brand new/outside of what most would consider the “norm”. These programs get participants involved in activities that many people think they can never do. Water skiing, snow skiing, snowboarding, and kayaking are all adapted to ensure participants are able to experience the thrill of adventure. Our P.K. Filling Adapted Water Sports program, held the first weekend in August on the Susquehanna river, gives participants the chance to enjoy freedom on the water through stand-up skiing, adapted sitdown skiing, tubing, jet skiing, and kayaking. If water is not your thing, join us in the winter for stand-up skiing, adapted sit-down skiing, and snowboarding. Your taste for adventure can be satisfied with these great programs.

George St., York. This concert is the first Classical Series performance of the 2018-19 season, “Heroes!” The Classical Series will open with Beethoven’s “Egmont” Overture, portraying the life and heroism of the 16th-century Dutch nobleman Lamoral, Count of Egmont. Egmont was a loyal subject of Philip II of Spain, yet he opposed the Spanish repression of the Netherlands. Egmont was captured and executed as a traitor for conspiring against the regime. The concert will also feature a special performance by York Symphony Orchestra principal trumpet Nathan Clark, as he performs the Trumpet Concerto by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Clark is a York native and resides in York County with his family. He is also a member of the

The concert will conclude with Symphony No. 3, “Eroica,” by Beethoven. “Eroica,” meaning “heroic symphony,” was originally dedicated to Napoleon, but Beethoven withdrew that dedication once Napoleon declared himself emperor. To purchase tickets, readers may visit www.YorkSymphony.org or call 717-846-1111.

Autism
After rolling a strike, Paul Hoffman jumps and claps then runs to his mother for a high five. “Dad is going to be so proud,” he says with a grin. Paul, 25, and his sister Allie, 22, both have autism, and their family’s weekly bowling nights at Laser Alleys in Springettsbury Township are more than just a social outlet. They’re one of the many therapeutic programs offered by Easterseals Western and Central Pennsylvania that improves their social, physical, and emotional Photo courtesy of Our York Media well-being, while giving their parents, Penney and Mike, a chance to connect with parents who understand. “Autistic kids typically have a tough time, socially,” Penney says. “Easterseals activities help them: taking turns, playing, mimicking.” There’s a network that Easterseals provides families, and the people Penney and Mike Hoffman have met through the various therapeutic programs have become part of their family. “It’s a good support system,” Mike says. “The kids are doing the activities, but you get to talk to parents and families facing similar issues.” Creating special moments Outside of their weekly bowling activity, the Hoffmans have found the Easterseals’ camp empowers them to try things they would not have otherwise thought possible. While attending Easterseals Annual Adaptive Watersports Clinic, Penney witnessed something she thought she’d never see: her daughter, water skiing. “She has never liked any tight-fitting clothing, like a life vest,” Penney says. But watching the other kids on the ski chair out in the water, Allie seemed ready to join them. Those moments are what make Easterseals so special, Penney says. “She loved it – singing to the music and swaying back and forth,” she says. “To see her so happy; it made me cry.” For more information about Easterseals Western and Central Pennsylvania programs, call 717.741.3891 or visit www.eastersealswcpenna.org
