Common fire safety hazards to avoid this winter
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Every season has its own customs and holiday traditions that are unique to a certain time of year. In summer, students vacate their classrooms to enjoy two months of leisurely days with friends and family members, and July brings barbecues and fireworks to nearly every neighborhood in America. Fall arrives with the promise of trick-or-treaters knocking at the door and Thanksgiving delights like stuffing and cranberry sauce. For many people, the winter season is the most anticipated time of year, and its cold months are full of festivities as revelers celebrate Christmas and greet the new year. Just as every season is accompanied by different holidays and traditions, different fire hazards and safety risks are more likely to occur depending on the current page of the calendar.
Christmas celebrations might have wrapped up until next year, but the holiday poses a variety of fire hazards that are most dangerous in the upcoming weeks. Some of the most common wintertime safety threats are stockings that hang above a fireplace and Christmas lights wrapped around flammable objects such as dry foliage in a front yard. Although this year’s presents have all been unwrapped, many families keep
their decorations and Christmas trees up until mid- to late January. To help their local firefighters sleep easier in the new year, homeowners should ensure nothing flammable is near their fireplaces before lighting them. Additionally, Christmas trees must be watered regularly to
prevent dryness and flammability until they are removed from the home.
A little bit of mindfulness can greatly lower the risk of accidentally starting a house fire with Christmas decorations, but tokens of holiday cheer are among the many things that can
prove to be deadly when near one notorious appliance: a space heater. According to the American Red Cross’ website, www.red cross.org, the greatest number of heating-related fires occur in December, January and February, and space heaters account for one-third of those fires. Within

Whether you are a lifelong resident of Lancaster County or a tourist who has spent a day visiting local attractions, you have likely crossed paths with members of the Plain community. Amish and Mennonite groups make up a significant portion of the county’s population, and various unique customs distinguish Plain community members from other locals. Although most people have seen a horse and buggy or passed a homestead operated by farmers who wear distinct wide-brim hats and suspenders, many aspects of the Plain community’s culture are unknown to the greater community.
In most Amish and Mennonite dwellings, two books can be found prominently displayed on the mantle: the Bible and “Martyrs Mirror.” “Martyrs Mirror” may not be as famous - or as old - as its bookshelf neighbor, but the book has remained a significant piece of the Anabaptist faith for centuries. “Martyrs Mirror” was first published in 1660 by Dutch author Thieleman J. van Braght, and the book comprises
HARTZ PT to award grants
HARTZ Physical Therapy (HARTZ PT) is celebrating its 25th year serving the community in 2025. To commemorate the milestone, the company will award grants to 25 Lancaster County charities throughout 2025. Twenty-four charities will receive $2,500, and one charity will be chosen to receive 100% of the proceeds from the 22nd annual Fall Blast 5K & Kids Color Run held every October, estimated to be $25,000.
Four selected charities will be eligible to receive one of two $2,500 grants each month during 2025. The staff of HARTZ PT, along with the business’s patients and followers on Instagram and Facebook, will play an integral role in the selection of the winners each month. If a charity is not selected during a specific month
after the vote, it will return to the selection process for a second chance.
Community members are invited to nominate charities at www .hartzpt.com/comm unity/25th-anniversary/. To be eligible for consideration for the Fall Blast proceeds, nominations must be received by Friday, Jan. 10.
The $25,000 Fall Blast beneficiary will be found among the monthly $2,500 nominees. The Fall Blast director and committee will select three finalists, which will be required to fill out an application providing specific information, such as financial details.
The finalists will make a presentation on Friday, Feb. 7, to the staff members of HARTZ PT, who will then choose the winner.
the first two weeks of January 2024, the American Red Cross responded to 1,797 house fires, assisting 6,799 people.
One could regard the common space heater as the archnemesis of fire departments during wintertime, but a few simple guidelines can render this little device less likely to commit arson in your home. The safest model of space heater is one that automatically shuts off if it falls over; any model should be placed far away from flammable items such as Christmas trees, curtains, paper and bedding. Although space heaters are a popular and effective way to keep a home cozy and warm in winter, using them without caution can be a recipe for disaster.
After the holidays are over, festivities wind down until the next season of merrymaking. But a few months of cold weather remain well after stockings are removed from fireplaces, meaning wintertime road conditions can still pose a threat to drivers. Central Pennsylva-
nia’s typical winter weather includes temperatures that hang just above freezing; combined with any amount of precipitation, these conditions often make roads more slippery than they look. Icy rain and sleet are one of the main causes of car accidents in winter, particularly in the Southern End and other rural areas that contain twisting roads and narrow passages. Additionally, fluctuating temperatures often result in melted snow and freezing rain that becomes slippery ice on sidewalks and roads after the sun sets.
Although residents of Lancaster County may encounter a variety of safety hazards in wintertime, it only takes a little bit of mindfulness to make it through the season without a trip to the hospital or a call to the local fire department. No matter which part of the county you reside in or how long you leave your Christmas decorations up, a few simple practices are the difference between a winter wonderland and a hotbed of dangerous conditions.

WILLOW STREET CHIROPRACTIC
LCCTC receives donation, grant
The Lancaster County Career and Technology Center (LCCTC) recently received a donation of a 2023 Lincoln Navigator from Ford Motor Corporation. The vehicle will support LCCTC’s involvement with the Automotive Career Exploration (ACE) student program, which connects high school automotive students to Ford factory service training.
Ford’s donation had been in the works for a little more than six months. William Painter, Ford’s local representative, initially contacted Alan Wakefield, one of LCCTC’s automotive instructors, to inform him that LCCTC had been selected as one of six schools nationwide to receive a Lincoln Navigator donation. Wakefield has been working with the ACE program since its original establishment at LCCTC.
Before delivery to LCCTC, the donated vehicle was sent to New Holland Ford for a full detailing.
The Lincoln Navigator now exhibits New Holland Ford emblems to acknowledge the local dealership’s contributions to LCCTC.
The official vehicle donation ceremony took place on Sept. 6. Ford’s new local representative, along with its regional manager and the owner of New Holland Auto Group, were present to hand over the vehicle’s keys to LCCTC.
The state-of-the-art equipment will offer hands-on learning opportunities intended to prepare automotive students for employment in a modernizing industry.
Additionally, LCCTC recently received funding
through the Public School Facility Improvement Grant Program from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). Organizations with a total of $820.3 million in eligible projects competed for the available $175 million.
The award to LCCTC will support a roof restoration project at the Mount Joy and Willow Street campuses. The restoration project will replace trouble spots and test for mold; the newly restored roof has a projected 20-year lifespan. The DCED grant will fund 74.4% of the total project cost.
Additionally, the restoration will be minimally disruptive to school operations, as the existing roof materials will not need to be removed. Liquid membrane will be applied on top of the roof, and new insulation will be installed.
In addition to providing a cost-saving alternative to full roof replacement, the restoration is intended to prevent mold growth by addressing leaks, wear and tear, and potential damage. Preventive maintenance will support the school’s long-term roof repair plan. The roof restoration plan is designed to ensure school funds can be used for other essential improvements while extending the life of its facilities.
LCCTC is a full-service career and technical school dedicated to preparing high school students and adults for careers in the new economy. For more information, visit www.lancasterctc.edu.

Talent on parade
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Reflecting on his opportunity as one of six Doherty Petri School of Irish Dancing students who took part in the Riverdance performance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year, Isaiah Pujol, a 17-year-old Manheim Township resident, called the experience “awesome.”
“A lot of people don’t understand how big Riverdance is in the world of Irish dancing,” explained Isaiah, who noted that the experience brought together the chance to be part of an international show where he could dance with professionals in an event as large as the Macy’s parade. “It’s this fantastic thing,” he said.
Jase Lawrence, an 11-yearold who lives in Penn Manor School District and who was both the shortest and youngest member of the Riverdance parade performers, was impressed by the experience of dancing with professionals he has looked up to.
Sarah Smith, a 14-year-old who travels weekly from Baltimore to train at the school, said, “It opens up opportunities for the future.”
Esther Pujol, owner and head teacher of the school, called the chance to take part in the parade “unprecedented and amazing.” “It was an unexpected early Christmas gift,” she said, noting that she is not aware of Riverdance doing anything like this before. Other students from the school who took part in the parade included 15-year-old Ezekiel Pujol of Manheim Township, 14-year-old Abigail Ernst of Baltimore, and 16-year-old virtual student Liam Snodgrass of Hebron, Maine.
Teacher Lisa Petri explained that the opportunity was truly a once-in-

a-lifetime experience for the students because Riverdance does not take part in the parade every year. She explained that the show sent out a call for student dancers to participate and that dancers could audition by video if they had not attended a Riverdance summer camp. A few of the students had attended Riverdance camps held in Boston, but Smith submitted a video.
By early November, the students who were accepted to take part and perform alongside professional Riverdance dancers had received notice. A few weeks prior to the event, they were apprised of the steps they would need to learn. “The kids are familiar with the show choreography,” said Petri, who noted that the students from the Riverdance camps had less to learn than those who had not attended. Smith experienced a little stress going into the event, but she reported that she had fun learning the dances.
On Nov. 26, the students arrived in New York City and took part in a threehour rehearsal to prepare them for a performance of almost a minute, 40 seconds of which would be seen by television viewers. Later that same day, the students,
who were part of a group of about 40 amateurs chosen to take part, rehearsed for about 30 minutes in the spot on the street where they would perform, which had been closed for that purpose.
On Thanksgiving Day, the students lined up with the professional Riverdance performers at 7 a.m. According to Isaiah, they waited about two hours before marching two hours to the spot where they danced. Jase marched and danced with an injured foot that requires him to wear a special boot most of the time. “It hurt,” he noted, but added that the experience was worthwhile.
Isaiah noted that the weather on the day of the parade was a problem. “(The rain) was the challenging part,” stated Petri, noting that the students wear specialized shoes with fiberglass tips and heels. Because the concrete on which they performed was extremely slippery, several dancers - both professional and amateur - fell, but no one was hurt.
Petri noted that Riverdance brought Irish dancing to the world stage. “I think it speaks volumes to how entertaining Irish dance is,” she said, noting that the show has been running for three decades and that the current tour is called The New Generation. “That is literally true because it is now multigenerational in terms of appeal and for the dancers,” she said.
PLACE AN AD
Students at the school will once again be associated with Riverdance when they perform in the lobby of the American Music Theatre, 2425 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, prior to the Irish dancing phenomenon’s 7 p.m. show on Saturday, March 1.

Rotary Clubs announce peacebuilding initiatives
Motorists driving on Route 81 may have seen a Rotary billboard informing travelers that they are entering Rotary District 7390, which this year was designated by Rotary International as a Peacebuilder District. There are 39 Rotary clubs in this district and 46,000 clubs around the world.
The clubs of District 7390 - from Carlisle to Paradise and from Millersville to the Mason-Dixon Line - are teaming up with the internationally focused Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) to address root causes of conflict and division. The Rotary Clubs will tap into the global resources of Rotary International and IEP to educate members and the public on how to spread the values of positive peace. Clubs will sponsor workshops and erect peace poles in their communities.
Positive peace is defined as local and global peace built on investments in economic development as well as social attitudes that foster peace. These partnerships demonstrate commitment to building environments that are conducive to sustainable peace both locally and globally.
To learn more about local Rotary-driven positive peace initiatives and workshops, contact the Rotary District 7390 office at 717-854-7842 or visit www .rotary7390.org.
