Volunteers Plant Trees In Derry Township

Hershey Church Posts Holiday Schedule

Derry Presbyterian Church, 248 E. Derry Road, Hershey, will offer several special worship services during December. The public is invited to attend. For more details, call the church at 717-533-9667 or visit www.derrypres.org.

A “Longest Night” worship service will be held at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 20, in the chapel, and it will include Communion. This service on one of the longest nights of the year will acknowledge pain, sadness and grief.

The Derry Environmental Action Committee (DEAC) and the Township of Derry sponsored a tree planting on Nov. 12. A total of 20 street trees were planted in Derry Township through the efforts of many volunteers, including members of Boy Scout Troop 65 and the Lions Club.

Local resident Eamon Gallagher encouraged six of his neighbors to request the trees as well. The nearby locations made the task easier for the volunteer tree planters, helped conserve township resources and helped to beautify the neighborhood.

The project was funded through the TreePennsylvania 2022 Bare Root Tree Program.

Information about street tree planting to be held in the spring will be publicized in the Derry Township e-newsletter. Readers may subscribe to the e-newsletter at www.derrytownship.org/ community/weekly-enews.

Three Christmas Eve candlelight worship services will be held on Saturday, Dec. 24, in the sanctuary. All worship services will include lessons and carols. The first service, at 2:30 p.m., will include Communion and holiday music by the Derry See Holiday Schedule pg 3

Boy Scouts helped to plant trees. Members of the Hershey Lions Club gathered for the project.

Blue Christmas Service Planned

First United Methodist Church, 64 W. Chocolate Ave., Hershey, will offer “Blue Christmas: A Service of Reflection” on Sunday, Dec. 18, at 3 p.m. This event will be a worship gathering especially for those experiencing loss, grief, or other pain dur-

ing Christmastime. The service will include a litany with memory stars, candles, reflection, and prayers.

All are welcome to attend.

Riding On For Veterans

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

If you look out your window on New Year’s Day, you may see a crowd of motorcycles zooming down the road. They are part of an annual ride to benefit veterans.

“We take the same route every year, and people know about it, so they come out and kids come out holding flags and cheering us on,” said

Tyler Stumpf, one of the event organizers. “It’s become a New Year’s tradition.”

The is the 14th year for the event, which will be held on Sunday, Jan. 1. Registration will begin at 10:30 a.m., and the ride will leave from the Walter S. Ebersole American Legion Post 185, 255 W. Main St., Mount Joy, at 1 p.m. The ladies auxiliary will serve breakfast items before the ride.

Hundreds of motorcycles will take to the streets on New Year’s Day for a ride to benefit veterans.

The 25-mile ride will follow a route along the Susquehanna River and conclude at the Elizabethtown American Legion Post 329, 240 N. Hanover St., where a pork and sauerkraut meal will be served following the ride. An auction will be held there as well, featuring items donated by local businesses. T-shirts and patches will also be for sale. Proceeds from the event will benefit veterans in the Lebanon VA Medical Center. Since its inception, the ride has raised more than $240,000, Stumpf said, adding, “We will hit the quarter-million mark this year.”

Each year, the event includes fun traditions such as Baby New Year, when a participant is chosen for the honor and must attend in a baby costume and sash. This year’s honoree is Brian Landvader.

Over the years, the ride has grown significantly, Stumpf said. “We started

with 11 motorcycles, and now we’re averaging about 400 motorcycles,” he commented. “When all the bikes are lined up on Main Street in Mount Joy, it’s really something to see.”

Billy Hecht, who is also helping to organize the ride, said the event has continued to be popular because it not only offers a fun excursion for participants, but it also supports an important cause. “A lot of people like that the money stays local,” he noted. “One hundred percent of the money goes strictly to the veterans’ needs.”

The event will be held rain, snow or shine, and participants are encouraged to come with any form of transportation. “You don’t have to come with a motorcycle,” Hecht shared. “You can drive a car or a truck. You can come in any vehicle.”

For more information on the event, call Stumpf at 717468-6197 or Hecht at 717283-6379.

Fifth Thursday Luncheon Set

The luncheons are an opportunity for Christian fellowship for men and women age 60 and older. Future Fifth Thursday Luncheons will take place on March 30, June 29, Aug. 31, and Nov. 30.

Brass. At 5 p.m., a service will feature participation by children and music for the entire family to enjoy. At 7:30 p.m., a traditional service will be held, and music will be provided by the Derry Ringers handbell choir and the Sanctuary Choir.

Libraries Adopt No-Fines Policy

The Dauphin County Library System (DCLS) has gone fine-free, extending a nolate-fee policy enacted at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and joining libraries across the country to end a practice that was a barrier to access.

The DCLS’ primary mission is to serve the community by connecting people with the knowledge and resources they need. However, libraries have found that late fees and fines are roadblocks to those who need a library’s services the most. Additionally, evidence shows that eliminating fines has increased library card adoption and usage, according to the American Library Association.

While late fees and fines are not a large part of the DCLS’ budget, the DCLS

hopes the community will donate to help support the new policy. When visiting any of the eight locations or www.dcls.org/PayitForward, supporters can help pay it forward by donating to help the DCLS remain fine-free.

The DCLS takes steps to help members avoid landing in the overdue category. Borrowers can receive five renewals on an item if there are no hold requests from other members. Also, members can return found items up to a year after the billing date to have replacement charges waived.

As part of the new fine-free policy, the DCLS has new measures to encourage responsible borrowing. If a member has more than what would have amounted to $10 in fines, he or she can no

Ring In The New Year At Welcome 2023

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

Since 2014, Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Elizabethtown has been ringing in the new year with a familyfriendly celebration, and the party will continue this year. Welcome 2023 will be held at the church, 125 E. High St., from 3 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 31.

“We’ll have a chicken barbecue, which helps to pay for this event,” said Phil Clark, event chair. “That’s the only thing that has a charge. Everything else is free.” The

longer check out materials; borrow laptops; access Hoopla, which gives access to e-book, e-audiobook, and e-music titles; or reserve library meeting rooms. Additionally, if an item is not returned within 48 days from the due date, members will receive a bill and will be assessed a replacement fee. The account will be forwarded to a collection agency for those with unpaid balances of $45 or more.

The DCLS provides county residents with free access to a variety of materials, including books, movies, music, and magazines, along with online access, people to help with research, and programs that support personal and community growth. Getting a library card is free. To learn more, visit www.dcls.org.

The Public Relations Society of America’s (PRSA) Central Pennsylvania Chapter recently announced 23 awardwinning projects by public relations professionals and organizations in central Pennsylvania. The PRSA also announced the winner of the Nonprofit Communicator of the Year.

Professionals were permitted to enter one or more materials into 22 categories for the awards program. Volunteers from the San Antonio Chapter of PRSA judged the entries and considered research, planning, execution and results of each project in their scoring out of 100 points.

The awards offer two levels of recognition. Keystone Awards recognize outstanding achievements in public relations, marked by excellent results, thorough planning, game-changing ideas and creativity. These awards score 85 points or more. Silver Keystone Awards are for entries that demonstrate excellent planning and outcomes, scoring between 70 and 84 points.

The 2021 Nonprofit Communicator of the Year was Steven Martinez, executive director of the York County SPCA. Martinez joined the SPCA in 2019 and led the creation of the Adopters Welcome program, which sought to eliminate barriers for would-be adopters. This initiative led to higher adoption rates and better relationships between the staff members,

volunteers and community. Martinez also created the Community Cat Initiative, which releases free-roaming, outdoor cats back into the community after they are trapped and neutered. More than 2,200 cats went through the process from 2018 through 2021. Martinez also led the charge in educating the community about the benefits of the new initiative.

The 2022 Keystone Award Winners are Deeter Gallaher Group on behalf of McClure Company: “McClure Company Change Management Communications Project,” in the Special Events and Observances category; Deeter Gallaher Group on behalf of Karns Foods: “The Karns Beef Program Launch,” Overall Public Relations Program; Domani Wealth: “Domani Wealth Website,” Website; Geisinger: “Internal Communications Center of Excellence Strategy,” Internal Communications; Geisinger: “Shopper Shuttle,” News Release/Public Service Announcement; Geisinger: “Heart Attack Center,” Media Relations/Media Placement; Landis Communities: “Spanish Language Materials for Rental Housing in Lancaster,” Multicultural Communications; LM Gnazzo Promotion Strategies and Nell McCormack Abom Communications on behalf of PA Dairymen’s Association: “PA Dairymen’s Farm Show 2022,” Media Relations/Media Placement; LM Gnazzo Promotion Strategies and Nell McCorma-

ck Abom Communications on behalf of The Peyton Walker Foundation with a project of the same name, Media Relations/Media Placement; Milton Hershey School: “Poverty Talks,” Digital Public Relations; PR Works on behalf of the Pennsylvania Library Association: “Preparing Librarians for Media Interview Success,” Media Relations/Media Placement; and The Giant Company: “Return of the Bees/The Giant Company Pollinator Week,” Special Events and Observances.

The Silver Keystone Award winners are Geisinger: “My Code,” Media Relations/Media Placement category; Geisinger: “COVID Press Conference,” News Release/Public Service Announcement; Highmark: “Free Market Health,” Overall Public Relations Program; LM Gnazzo Promotion Strategies and Nell McCormack Abom Communications on behalf of Harrisburg Academy: “Harrisburg Academy Ukrainian Relief Project,” Special Events and Observances; Pennsylvania Bar Association: “Bar News DEI Feature,” Magazines and Periodicals; Pennsylvania Bar Association: “Bar News AI Feature,” Written Communications Piece; Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission: “#CallUtilitiesNow Campaign,” Overall Public Relations Program; PR Works on behalf of IEC: “Amplifying an Electrical Trade Association’s Brand,” Corporate Branding; The Giant Company: “The Giant Grocery Grab,” Special Events and Observances; The GIANT Company: “The GIANT Volunteer Challenge,” Internal Communications; and The GIANT Company: “The Giant Company Impact Report,” Annual Report.

Una Martone, president and CEO of Leadership Harrisburg Area, gave the keynote address, “Unlocking the Power of Gratitude.”

Information Session Slated

A Master Watershed Steward information session for Dauphin, Lancaster, and Lebanon counties will take place on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. via Zoom. The MWS program seeks to educate and empower volunteers to do watershed projects and education in their communities.

Master Watershed Stewards teach adults and children about water quality, wildlife habitats, and the environment; develop educational materials; organize and conduct educational events, stream cleanups, and invasive plant removal projects; design and maintain demonstration gardens; conduct stream monitoring projects and research; research and write newsletters and online articles; and partner with municipal officials on projects, such as bioswales, rain gardens, native meadows, and other green stormwater management solutions.

The event is offered at no charge to participants. Registration is required to receive the link to access the webinar. Registrants will also receive access to the webinar recording. For details and registration, visit www.extension.psu.edu and search for “Master Watershed Steward Information Session for Dauphin, Lancaster, and Lebanon Counties.”

chicken barbecue will feature chicken from Kauffman’s BBQ Chicken, a baked potato, applesauce, a roll and butter and a drink. The meal will be available to eat in or to go.

Festivities for the evening will include bingo in the church social hall, along with free hot dogs and soup. The youth ensemble from the church will perform in the sanctuary from 4:30 to 5:15 p.m. as part of the Music on High series.

Outside, free popcorn, hot chocolate and s’mores will be available, and members of edance center will perform. A DJ will also be on hand playing music. “For the first time, East High Street will be closed from the church parking lot to the square,” Clark noted. First responders will be on-site with their equipment, including police cars and fire trucks for kids to explore. At the nearby Winters Heritage House Museum, located at 47 E. High St., a variety of children’s crafts and activities will be offered during the event as well.

The festivities will conclude with the raising of a star at 7 p.m., followed by fireworks.

“The Elizabeth, which is the former Moose Lodge, is a good viewing spot for the fireworks if you want to get away from the crowd,” said Clark, noting that hundreds of people attended the New Year’s Eve event last year.

The timing of the event is intentional for several reasons, Clark shared. He explained that 7 p.m. corresponds with midnight in Letterkenny, Ireland, the sister city of Elizabethtown.

Elizabethtown founders Barnabas and Elizabeth Hughes came from Letterkenny. The early end time for the party also works well for families, Clark said, and for Masonic Villages residents, who often attend.

“The whole event is a lot of fun,” said music director Kevin Gane. “There’s something for everybody to do. It’s a nice community gathering.”

Tickets for the chicken barbecue may be purchased at the church office. Some extra meals will be available at the event.

Italian Cheesecake Recipe

After a delicious holiday meal, there is a good chance guests will be looking forward to a sweet treat. Many families have their go-to desserts on special occasions, but holiday meals can be made even more memorable, and flavorful, by taking a chance on new recipes.

A decadent cheesecake is on the menu in many Italian American families. Italian cheesecake does not typically contain cream cheese or graham cracker crust. Rather, Italian cheesecakes are full of citrus flavor and made with modified pie crust. This recipe for Torta Dolce di Ricotta is from Daniel Paterna’s “Feast of the Seven Fishes: A Brooklyn Italian’s Recipes Celebrating Food & Family.”

Torta Dolce di Ricotta (Serves 10 to 12)

Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra to dust board and pan 3/4 cup sugar

Zest of one lemon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus extra to grease the pan 2 large eggs

Filling: 8 large eggs

3 lbs. ricotta cheese, drained of excess water

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 1/2 cups sugar

Zest of two oranges

Juice of one orange Juice of one lemon

1/4 cup candied pear, chopped (optional)

Directions:

1 - To make the crust, place the flour, sugar, and zest on a pastry board or clean, dry, flat surface. Mix thoroughly to

combine. Add the butter and work it into the dry ingredients. Gather the mixture into a round and create a well in the center. Drop eggs into the well, beat with a fork while gathering the dry mixture, then knead once the dough completely forms. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2 - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter and flour a 10-inch springform baking pan. Set aside.

3 - Meanwhile, to prepare the filling, combine the eggs, ricotta cheese, vanilla, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice, and candied pear (if using) in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

4 - After the dough has been in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, remove it and place it on a large board or clean, dry, flat surface, lightly dusted with flour. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a large circle, approximately 14 inches in diameter. Now roll the dough over the rolling pin and carefully unwind it over the baking pan, gently easing it to fit evenly in the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

5 - Pour or spoon the filling mixture into the crust, leaving about 1/4 inch below the rim of the pan. Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, until the center is slightly firm. Cool for at least 2 hours. To save time, the cheesecake can be left unrefrigerated overnight when baked the night before.

6 - Carefully run a plastic knife or rigid spatula around the sides of the pan to remove it, so that no crust is pulled away when releasing the spring of the pan. Serve at room temperature.

Reducing Waste For The Holidays

The holiday season is a special time of year. Individuals often spend a little more on gifts, indulge a little more on rich foods and treats, and make a concerted effort to enjoy more time with their loved ones during the holidays.

The tendency to overdo things during the holiday season can create a lot of waste. In fact, Americans produce 25% more garbage from Thanksgiving through the end of the year, according to Waste Advantage

magazine, a publication of the waste and recycling industry. That uptick equates to 1 million tons of extra trash per week throughout the holidays.

Extra food, plastic, and paper waste is generated this time of year, but people can be mindful of the potential to go overboard and take some steps to be more waste-conscious as they entertain.

People can reuse a small portion of wrapping paper or look

for other wrapping items. Sunday comics, newsprint, colorful magazine pages, and even pieces of fabric can be used to wrap gifts in lieu of new wrapping paper. Otherwise, individuals can collect used wrapping paper and reuse it next year, doing the same with boxes and bows. According to researchers at Stanford University, if every American family wrapped just three presents in reused materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields.

Another option is to skip disposable party items. It is

certainly easy to use disposable plates, napkins, and cups when hosting holiday parties, but that is very wasteful. Hosts should opt for durable, reusable products that can be packed away and used each year during holiday events.

People can reduce waste by buying durable and reusable items as gifts. Gift-givers are encouraged to avoid fad gifts and focus on items that will have staying power. Homemade gifts, such as foods, knitted scarves, artwork, and more, are generally eco-friendly.

It is important to set up

marked trash and recycling receptacles. To remind party guests to recycle the appropriate materials, hosts should clearly mark a pail designed for collecting recyclables, such as cans, plastic beverage bottles, and glass bottles. Most hard plastics can be recycled.

Another way to save waste is to have one’s name removed from catalog lists. To do so, individuals need to call companies and ask to be taken off promotional mailing lists to reduce paper waste.

Instead of holiday cards, people are encouraged to send

a photo. When mailing photos of the kids or the entire family in lieu of cards, recipients are apt to save the photos and display them, helping to keep even more paper trash out of landfills.

Another waste-saving strategy is to research new recipes for leftovers. With an abundance of food remaining after entertaining, leftovers can be turned into new meals by exploring recipes from friends or by doing a little research online.

Waste can get out of control during the holidays, but there are ways to tame the excess.

Safety Tips For Electric Devices

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has created a new micromobility device safety webpage in response to concerns fire officials have about fires caused by lithiumion batteries that power electric bikes and electric scooters (e-bikes and e-scooters). The webpage features information about why e-bikes and e-scooters catch fire, what some jurisdictions are doing to better regulate that risk, and what people can do to stay safe if they use, store, or charge e-bikes or e-scooters.

To help prevent fires, individuals should only purchase and use devices, batteries, and charging equipment that are listed by a nationally recognized testing lab and labeled

accordingly. Only the battery and the charger that were designed for and came with the device should be used. Charging the device should not be continued after the battery is fully charged. e-bikes, escooters, and batteries should be stored away from exit doors and anything that can get hot or catch fire.

Owners should discontinue using the e-bike or e-scooter if they notice any problems with the battery, including an unusual odor, a change in color, too much heat, a change in shape, leaking, smoking, or not keeping a charge. Lithiumion batteries should not be put in the trash and should be taken to a battery recycling location or disposed of using another appropriate method as directed by the local waste department. Devices should only be repaired by a qualified professional.
