Hummelstown Winter Celebration To

As A Two-Day Event

BY FRANCINE FULTON

After being scaled down last year because of the pandemic, this year’s annual Winter Fling, being presented by the Borough of Hummelstown and the Hummelstown Community Foundation, will return to a two-day format on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 27 and 28.

During the ninth annual Winter Fling, activities will take place on Jan. 27 from 7 to 10 p.m. in the downtown square and on neighboring streets, which will be closed during the festivities. Events on Jan. 28 will be held at Nye Elementary School, 200 S. John St., Hummelstown, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Featured attractions in the square will be ice sculpture carving demonstrations, a performance by the Hershey School of Dance and live music by Cold Spring Union. “They are a new band for this year, so it will bring in a new group of people,” noted Kelly Williamson, secretary of the Hummelstown Community Foundation. More information about the band is available at www.facebook.com/cold springunion.

Local wineries and breweries will offer beverages for sale and food trucks will be stationed on-site. Also offered will be free hot chocolate and cookies. “We have numerous restaurants in the area that will be open and selling food and drinks,” Williamson said. “(The Winter Fling) is very good for the community (and local) businesses.”

Winter Fling apparel will be available for purchase, and there will be a photo booth.

A KIDZ Zone will also be open on Friday, where attendees can make their own s’mores in outdoor fire pits. There will also be a hula hoop contest, cardio drumming, a game truck, bounce houses, games and prizes.

Students

Three students at Lower Dauphin High School were recently recognized by Lower Dauphin Communities That Care and Hummelstown Police for doing the right thing over lunch in the cafeteria.

Amber Abela, Kaitlyn Hoffman and Nathaniel Wolfe were nominated by assistant principal Stephanie Vaughn for their quick thinking during an emergency situation on Sept. 8, 2022. One of their classmates experienced a medical emergency, and, Vaughn said, the trio jumped into action by getting the nurse immediately, notifying the closest teacher, turning the student on their side to prevent them from choking and even running to get the AED located outside the gymnasium. All three students remained calm and listened for directives from the trained staff members who arrived.

The high school juniors were recognized and rewarded with a gift card to Target; a Do the Right Thing T-shirt, pencil and certificate; and a Subway coupon. This month’s program sponsor was Commonwealth Financial Associates. The Do the Right Thing pro-

gram recognizes students in the Lower Dauphin community who have distinguished themselves through their accomplishments, attitude or outstanding efforts. For more information, contact program director Angela Durantine at adurantine@ldsd.org.

Foundation Plans Falcon Fling

Lower Dauphin Falcon Foundation (LDFF) will hold its 13th annual Falcon Fling in the Hall of Champions at Hollywood Casino, 777 Hollywood Blvd., Grantville, on Saturday, Jan. 28. The program this year, “Upping the Ante for Innovative Educational Grants,” will highlight the grants LDFF has funded to create un ique opportunities for Lower Dauphin (LD) students. There will also be a silent auction, a wine and bourbon giveaway drawing, buffet dining and live music from the Katie Rudolph Trio. Proceeds from this signature fundraising event support grants to educators, students and community members in the Lower Dauphin School District (LDSD) and scholarships that directly benefit LD students.

To attend or for more information, visit https://tinyurl .com/LDFFevents. Sponsorships are available.

The Lower Dauphin Falcon Foundation, a not-for-

profit organization, was established in 2006 to foster greater community support in the education and development of the students in LDSD. Its purpose as an independent public charitable organization is to encourage community-wide

participation and philanthropy to enhance and expand enrichment opportunities for all students in LDSD. It is the goal of the foundation to ensure longrange financial flexibility for schools within the district. The focus of the Falcon

Foundation is to develop pathways by which stakeholders in the district’s community can make available resources to existing and future academic as well as extracurricular programs to meet identified needs and interests of students.

JBT Donates Funds To Three Charities

Jonestown Bank & Trust Co. (JBT) recently presented three tribute donations totaling $1,050 to three service organizations. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital received a $600 donation thanks to Jackie Kimmel; Our Lady of the Cross received a $300 donation thanks to Billy Shay; and Caring Cupboard received a $150 donation thanks to Greg Lewis.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital will use the donated funds for its mission to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Families of chil-

dren being treated by St. Jude never receive a bill.

Donated funds to Our Lady of the Cross will help the school’s efforts to bring the renewal of education, faith formation and fellowship to its students and Lebanon County.

Funds donated to Caring Cupboard will help provide fresh food to those in need primarily in the Palmyra and Annville-Cleona school districts. Caring Cupboard assists an average of 150 families per week.

Historical Society Receives Grant

The Lebanon County Historical Society received a $5,000 grant through the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission to protect and secure its archival collection. Through this grant, the historical society will have the funding necessary to improve its infrastructure, storage, and care of arti-

facts of the county’s history.

The grant will be used to address the harmful effects of lighting in the archival area. It will also be used to obtain more archival quality boxes to replace older, broken boxes; place folders in boxes to remove them from storage or floor locations; and assist in the cataloging process.

At Nye Elementary School on Saturday, there will be bounce houses, children’s games and crafts, a magician, a photo booth, food for sale and cupcake wars, where children will be able to decorate cupcakes and judges will choose a winner. There will also be a live Studio 22 Dance Academy performance as well as horse and carriage rides around the school.

Williamson, who noted that planning begins for the event in September, said that the Winter Fling is very pop-

ular in the community. “Even when it’s cold, people come out,” she stated. “It is a fun event and everyone seems to have a good time, and we are excited to be back at Nye again.”

For more information about the event, search for “Hummelstown Winter Fling” on Facebook. Those with questions can email winterfling17036@gmail.com. In the event of hazardous winter weather, the event will be canceled and not rescheduled.

Ice sculpting demonstrations will be featured.

Greg Pickel

Maintaining a healthy weight is believed to promote long-term health, while being overweight or obese can be a risk factor for various conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The World Health Organization reports that the worldwide obesity rate has tripled since 1975. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were overweight. Of these, more than 650 million were obese.

Health issues related to obesity are largely preventable. Losing weight in a healthy manner is essential for safe and lasting results, and individuals aspiring to lose weight may consider the following guidelines on what to do and what not to do.

DO add lean protein sources to your diet. Health-

line indicates the body burns calories when digesting and metabolizing protein, so a high-protein diet can help to shed up to 80 to 100 calories

per day. Protein also helps you to feel full, reducing the propensity to overeat.

DON’T get hung up on numbers early on. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises that even modest weight loss of 5% to 10% of your total body weight can produce health benefits, such as improvements in blood sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure. Start small and gradually build up.

DO eat at least four servings of vegetables and three servings of fruits daily. Produce contains an abundance of vital nutrients and is often fiber-rich and low in calories, which helps you to feel full.

DON’T overlook the impact of beverages on weight loss. The calories in sugary beverages, including some all-natural fruit juices, can add up quickly. Stick to water, tea or other unsweetened beverages to help with weight loss.

DO get moving more. The

Mayo Clinic notes that while it is possible to lose weight without exercise, getting moving can help burn the excess calories you can’t cut through diet alone. Exercise boosts metabolism, benefits mood and strengthens muscles and the cardiovascular system, as well.

DON’T go shopping while hungry. If you do, you may make impulse buys that compromise healthy eating plans.

DO speak with a doctor if you are comparing diet and exercise plans. A health care professional can indicate if a particular diet or fitness routine is acceptable for your age, goals and current health status.

DON’T forget to track eating. Most healthy diets involve some sort of caloriecounting, whether they actually require you to document your intake or use a formula to attribute “points” or another measure related to what you eat. Writing or tracking the foods and beverages you consume will provide the most honest assessment of habits that could affect weight loss.

DO include foods you enjoy. Completely restricting access to occasional treats may cause you to resent healthy eating, which can derail weight loss goals. The principle of moderation can apply to healthy weight loss as long as you account for the more calorie-dense foods. Losing weight in a healthy manner is achievable when you seek guidance and follow some time-tested techniques.

Commission Seeks Collaboration

In recent years, Dauphin County’s municipalities have faced a growing range of stormwater management, water quality, and flooding issues. Costs for addressing these issues are rising due to the increasing complexity of the impacts and environmental regulations associated with stormwater management.

To address this issue, TriCounty Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) has been working with the Dauphin County commissioners to create a regional Water Resource Enhancement Program (WREP) that would provide a central framework, offer strategic partnerships and coordinate efforts

between municipalities, thereby cutting municipal costs by up to 90%. In addition to saving taxpayer dollars, this voluntary program is intended to save considerable time and effort for participating municipalities by enabling them to participate in regionalized services.

The program is meant to enhance, not replicate or replace, existing stormwater management programs, and it will not create new fees. The overall savings will rely on participation. The more municipalities that work together and share costs, the more money they will save.

The first project undertaken under WREP was the Conewa-

go Creek Restoration Project, a watershed-based approach to fulfill MS4 requirements, reduce local flooding and improve local water quality in Londonderry Township. The MS4 benefits for sediment reduction were available to be shared with other municipalities in the watershed (Middletown and Steelton boroughs and Lower Swatara Township) at a cost-effective rate thanks to the efforts of Londonderry Township in securing grant funding and to Dauphin County’s contribution through a recent grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Participants were able to buy into this pro-

ject through WREP at savings ranging between 60 and 90%, compared to previous projects proposed individually.

Beyond the cost savings, all residents will benefit from better flood prevention and improved water quality for the region’s streams and groundwater. The Dauphin County Board of commissioners support the program due to its many benefits and the potential for cost savings, especially as more municipalities sign on. Other municipalities are welcome to join the program as it moves forward. Municipalities wishing to learn more can contact Jerry Duke at gduke@tcrpc-pa.org.

Lebanon VAMC Earns Accreditation

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Lebanon VA Medical Center (Lebanon VAMC) has earned accreditation as a geriatric emergency department from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). The Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA) program recognizes emergency departments that provide excellent care for older adults.

The ACEP launched its GEDA

program in 2018. The program is part of an effort to improve and standardize emergency care for the nation’s older patients. The GEDA program promotes the goals of providing quality care for older adult patients. These goals include enhanced staffing and education, geriatric-focused policies and protocols, and more efficient preparation of the treatment area.

The voluntary GEDA program, which includes three lev-

Also new this year is a free webpage and downloadable fact sheet, “Glaucoma Financial Assistance Information,” designed specifically to help people receive access to the eye care services they need to help save their sight.

els similar to trauma center designations, provides specific criteria and goals for emergency clinicians and administrators to target. The accreditation process provides more than two dozen best practices for geriatric care, and the level of GEDA accreditation achieved depends upon how many of these best practices an emergency department is able to implement.

Lebanon VAMC achieved the level 3 status, meaning it incor-

porates many best practices, provides interdisciplinary geriatric education, and has geriatric-appropriate equipment and supplies available.

Local veterans may be eligible to receive care and benefits from the U.S. VA. To learn more, call 717-2726621, ext. 6000.

Grant Awarded For Science Kits

Lower Dauphin Middle School has received a $1,000 grant from the PPL Foundation’s “Empowering Educators” program. The grant will be used to purchase science kits.

The science kits will be used to teach students some of the basics of electronics,

programming, and coding in the middle school’s seventhgrade STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) exploratory class. The class is designed to bridge the gap between elementary school STEM lessons and STEM courses at the high school.

B.R. Kreider & Son Acquires H.L. Wiker

B.R. Kreider & Son Inc., an excavating, paving and site management company based in Manheim, recently announced the asset purchase of H.L. Wiker Inc. Excavating in Lancaster.

The new team members will operate out of one of B.R. Kreider’s three locations in Manheim, Lebanon and Quarryville, according to Brent Kreider, president of B.R. Kreider & Son Inc.

H.L. Wiker has been serv-

ing customers in southcentral and eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and northern Maryland since 1988. The company is led by secondgeneration owners Donna Shoff and Jeff Wiker. As the owners looked to transition their business, they felt that the values and culture closely aligned with B.R. Kreider & Son, and it made sense to join the two teams and exit.

To learn more, visit www.brkreider.com.

Among the available resources is The Glaucoma Community, which provides users with a newsfeed on glaucoma, a community chat, a Facebook page, educational materials in several languages, and more. The Glaucoma Community may be accessed by visiting the aforementioned website and looking under “Glaucoma” in the list on the left side of the page.

Additionally, Prevent Blindness recently updated and redesigned its “Living Well With Low Vision” resource, created for patients, caregivers, and health care professionals. The site offers free directories, a library of selfhelp guides, downloadable apps, and news that may be relevant to people living with glaucoma and significant visu-

A Party For An American Hero

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

When he served in World War II, Harry Dyer was a member of “The Hump,” a unit charged with transporting materials from India to China over the Himalayan mountains. He served from 1942 to 1945 as an aerial engineer before returning stateside to raise his family in Elizabethtown.

On Jan. 5, Harry celebrated his 102nd birthday with a party at Elizabethtown Nursing and Rehab Center, where he lives. More than 30 people attended, including representatives of the Mount Joy Fire Department, Northwest EMS, American Legion Posts 185 and 466 and the Rheems Fire Department, along with residents at the retirement community.

“I was so surprised by the party,” Harry said. “I didn’t expect this many people. I want to thank everybody for coming.”

The party was organized by Sara Gutshall, a longtime member of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 809 in Maytown. She got to know Harry during visits she made to local retirement homes over Christmastime. “I had been going for

years to bring veterans Christmas bags from the Auxiliary,” Gutshall shared. “I would sit with them and listen to their war stories.” COVID put a pause on the visits, but Harry was still on Gutshall’s mind. She couldn’t mark his 100th birthday because of pandemic restrictions, so she focused on his 102nd this year. “The Lord just laid this on my mind to do this, and I prayed about it and decided to do it,” she said.

The party began with the crowd singing “Happy Birthday” as Harry walked into the community room at the facility. Elizabethtown Mayor Chuck Mummert sang the national anthem, “The U.S. Air Force” and “God Bless America.” Nila Grose crocheted a prayer shawl for Harry and presented it to him, and Gutshall asked veterans in attendance to identify themselves and their branch of service. State Rep. Tom Jones read and presented a citation to Harry from the House of Representatives, followed by a presentation of a blanket, certificate and challenge coin from David Chobanoff of Blankets of Honor, an organization that recognizes veterans for their service.

“We are here to honor a true American hero, a WWII vet,”

Chobanoff said. “There’s not too many of them left.”

The Rev. Peter Ogilvie presented Harry with a flag pin and led a prayer, and then the party concluded with Harry opening gifts before cake and punch were served.

Among the gifts Harry received were more than 150 birthday cards. “My goal was to get to 102 cards, but I actually got more than 150. Harry has to live to 150 now,” Gutshall said with a laugh.

Harry has two children and three grandchildren, and his younger son, Kelvin Dyer,

attended the party.

Asked what the secret to his dad’s long life was, Kelvin noted that Harry, who worked as a farmer in his 20s before the war but retired from Black + Decker after 30 years of service, grew his own vegetables for much of his life. “He ate more vegetables than anyone I knew,” Kelvin shared.

Harry, however, had a different view on the secret to his longevity. “This medicine,” he said, lifting a box of chocolatecovered cherries he received as a birthday gift. “That’s the secret.”

Suicide Prevention Training Posted

A virtual S.A.V.E. Training on Suicide Prevention will be offered on Tuesday, Jan. 24, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. via the Webex platform.

Suicide prevention is the top clinical priority for Veterans Affairs (VA), and the VA seeks to connect veterans who are experiencing an emotional or mental health crisis with lifesaving support. The VA seeks to involve veterans’ family members, peers, and communities so people can work together to reach veterans before a crisis occurs.

The upcoming training is designed to give caregivers key information about suicide prevention, the warning signs for suicide risk, and where to get help. S.A.V.E. encourages

caregivers to act with care and compassion if they encounter a suicidal veteran. S.A.V.E. stands for signs of suicidal thinking, ask questions, validate the person’s experience, and encourage treatment and expedite getting help.

To register, visit https:// tinyurl.com/savetraining. Once individuals register, they will be sent the meeting link and other sign-in information to join via a computer, phone, or other smart device. Attendees may download the Webex app to participate, or they may join via telephone.

For more details, contact Lebanon VA Medical Center’s caregiver support number, 717-228-5996.

DMVA Announces Grant Opportunities

The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) has announced that the 2022-23 Veterans’ Trust Fund (VTF) is accepting grant applications for programs and services benefiting Pennsylvania veterans. The DMVA will award VTF grants to nonprofit organizations, veteran service organizations, and county directors of veterans affairs across the state. Grant applications must be received no later than 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19.

Grant funding is available for new, innovative or expanded programs or services operated by the county directors of veterans affairs or the Pennsylvania Association of County Directors of Veterans Affairs. The areas of emphasis for applicants in this category are veterans outreach, transportation services, and homelessness.

Grant funding is also available to veteran service organizations with 501(c)(19) status and nonprofit organizations that have a mission of serving Pennsylvania veterans and have been granted 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Code. Funding priorities

for applicants in this category are transportation services, behavioral health initiatives, homelessness, and employment and education.

Since the grant program began in 2013, 254 grants totaling $6,591,860 have been awarded to organizations providing services to veterans in Pennsylvania.

The VTF is funded by Pennsylvanians who voluntarily donate when applying for or renewing driver’s licenses, photo IDs, or motor vehicle registrations; purchase Honoring Our Veterans standard and motorcycle license plates; purchase Honoring our Women Veterans standard license plates; or make private donations.

The DMVA is authorized to solicit and accept donations to the VTF on behalf of the commonwealth. Tax-deductible donations can be made at www.donate.dmva.pa.gov; information about donating by mail is also available on this website.
