Parkesburg resident to celebrate 101st birthday
BY FRANCINE FULTONWhen asked her secret to longevity, Doris Durnin, who will turn 101 on Friday, June 14, said simply, “Clean living and trusting the Lord for everything.”
Durnin, who resides in Parkesburg with her daughter, Debra Neal, was born in the Carlisle area and had one sister and three brothers, one of whom predicted that Durnin would live to be at least 100.
She worked as a practical nurse, an aide in a nursing home and, for a brief time, an aide at the Coatesville Veterans Affairs Medical Center. As an employee of Bayada Home Health Care, she also provided in-home nursing care.
Later in life, Durnin was a beautician. She worked in a salon and then opened a salon in her home. “Being a nurse was my favorite; I liked taking care of people,” said Durnin.
She was married for 33 years to James Durnin, who passed away in 1978. “My father’s job took us to Maryland for four years, and we ended up here in Parkesburg,” said Neal.
Durnin was a member of Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church and later Freedom Life Church.
Her hobbies through the years include knitting and cooking; her favorite meal to prepare was pot roast. She is a fan of jigsaw puzzles and visiting New Jersey beaches.
Now, she enjoys watching
Jimmy Swaggart on television, completing adult coloring books and spending time with her grandson, Wes Neal, who often brings her flowers and gifts. She said her favorite memory of her grandson was taking him out to lunch and working with him to complete jigsaw puzzles.
One of Durnin’s caretakers is Anna Sterling. “(Durnin) was a friend of my parents,” Sterling said. “She and her husband, Jim, (and my parents) all went to church together at Upper Octorara, and that’s how I met her. She is very independent. There are three of us (caregivers), and we all have fun with Doris.”
Neal said that the family is planning a small party to celebrate Durnin’s 101st birthday.
4-H to offer summer camps for youths
BY FRANCINE FULTONThis summer, Chester County 4-H - Penn State Extension will offer fun and educational activities for youths through its day camp program. Topics will include computer coding, exploring nature, rocketry and candy making. 4-H will also offer a babysitting training class.
A highlight of each of the classes is that all involve hands-on activities. “The candy making is generally the most popular camp, but the STEM camps are also getting popular,” said Toni Stuetz, 4-H Extension educator. “(The camps) are all hands-on. Coding is less active, but they are definitely all learning by doing.”
Python Day Camp will be held on Monday, June 17; Tuesday, June 18; and Thursday, June 20, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day at the Chester County 4-H - Penn State Extension office, 601 Westtown Road, Suite 370,

Heritage Daysfun for kids and more!
New laser show to conclude event
BY ANN MEAD ASH“We have so many kids’ activities, between the tractor pull and the tractor rides, and the Intercourse Library is doing kids’ activities on Friday evening,” said Mike Sensenig, one of the organizers of the annual Heritage Days in Intercourse.
Sensenig noted that the bounce house will be on-site again this year, but in a different location.
“The cornhole tournament was so successful, we needed more room, so we moved the bounce house,” he explained.
This year’s Heritage Days celebration will be held in the Intercourse Community Park, 3730 Old Philadelphia Pike, Gordonville, on Friday, June 14, and Saturday, June 15. On June 14, activities will begin at 5 p.m., and on June 15, the Intercourse Fire Company pancake and sausage breakfast for purchase will kick off the day at 6:30 a.m.

Memorial Day observed in Atglen
BY FRANCINE FULTON“For our family, every day is Memorial Day,” said keynote speaker Jill Hardy during the Memorial Day ceremony held in Atglen on May 25. Jill is the mother of Brandon Hardy, who was killed in Iraq in 2006 while serving in the United States Marines Corps. “We have learned to live without him, and life goes on, but it will never be the same.”
In a poignant tribute to her son, Hardy told the story of Brandon’s life and his desire since the age of 10 to serve in the military.
Brandon graduated from Octorara Junior-Senior High School in 1999 and then left for Air Force basic training in San Antonio, Texas. He spent two years in Germany, followed by an assignment in Spokane, Wash. Brandon was deployed three times during his five years in the Air Force, including to Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
to start over at the bottom as a recruit,” Hardy recalled. “He loved being in the military and served with pride and honor, and he was passionate about the freedom of this country.”
Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. | PO Box 500, Mount Joy, PA 17552 TOWNLIVELY.COM
“Brandon decided that he was not doing enough for his country in the Air Force and decided to become a United States Marine, and in so doing he gave up rank and pay of a staff sergeant
Brandon graduated as a United States Marine in 2004. “Brandon came home for a 10-day leave after boot camp, and he was sitting at the dining room table one day with his training manual,” said Hardy, who brought the manual to the ceremony. “(Reading from the manual, he stated), ‘I’m an American fighting in the Armed Forces to guard my country and our way of life. I’m prepared to give my life in its defense right now.’ I didn’t know that in 10 short months he would do just that.”
Hardy noted that the vehicle in which Brandon was a passenger struck an improvised explosive device (IED). “His last breath was taken in that Humvee in the early morning of April 28, and his very next breath was taken in heaven - the place I know his boots now patrol,” she said, adding, “As you celebrate Memorial Day this weekend, please take a moment to remember and pay tribute to those who have provided
our freedom through the sacrifice of their very own lives.”
The Memorial Day ceremony in Atglen also featured an address by Mayor Darren Hodorovich. “We honor those who chose service to country to protect the freedoms we enjoy and the way of life we cherish and our continued pursuit of happiness,” he stated.
Hodorovich also reported that prior to the ceremony, volunteers planted flowers throughout the borough and took part in a trash cleanup. In addition, more than 1,300 flags were placed on 435 parcels throughout the borough. Among the volunteers were members of Atglen’s Boy Scout Troop 20 and Cub Scout Pack 20, the Octorara football team and the youth group of Penningtonville Presbyterian Church. “Your dedication is
an inspiration to all of us,” he told the youths.
To dedicate the military banners that were recently placed throughout the borough, Hodorovich and Bill Tennant read the names of all of those listed on the banners.
Pastor Eric Dorville from Penningtonville Presbyterian Church offered the opening blessing, and Father Sean O’Neill from Our Lady of Consolation Church in Parkesburg provided the closing blessing. Music was provided by bagpipers from the Chester County Emerald Society Pipe Band. Dwight Weaver played taps.

YGBW to mark anniversary
To celebrate the YMCA’s 180th anniversary, the YMCA of Greater Brandywine (YGBW) is giving away prizes to members and prospective members. Members who visit a YGBW branch through Friday, June 14, may win a prize such as a free month of membership
or a 30-minute personal training session. Prospective members who visit between Monday, June 17, and Friday, June 28, can take advantage of in-branch offers such as no join fee and more.
To add to the celebration, a donor has offered to match donations to YGBW up to $30,000. All funds will be used to grant need-based scholarships for swim lessons, child care, summer camp, and more.
YGBW is committed to serving all in the community and does not turn away those who cannot afford its services. Instead, the Y offers need-based scholarships, which are made possible by donors. To contribute, visit https://ymcagbw .org/donatenow.
On June 6, 1844, George Williams and 11 other young men gathered in London for a meeting that led to the founding of the YMCA. Today, YMCAs around the globe serve communities through swim lessons, child care, youth development, and other programs.
In addition, the YMCA is associated with holidays, sports, and institutions that touch people’s lives to this day. For example, celebrations such as Father’s Day, organizations like the Peace Corps, and sports such as basketball, racquetball, and volleyball have their roots at the Y. YMCA leader John R. Mott was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946 for the Y’s role in raising global awareness and support and for the organization’s humanitarian efforts. Additionally, the Y had an early role in public libraries, night school for adult education, and English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.

Commissioners adopt Heritage Tourism Plan
Chester County Commissioners Josh Maxwell, Marian Moskowitz, and Eric Roe recently adopted a new Heritage Tourism Plan that encourages all communities in the county to share stories that highlight their identity and history in order to support local and regional preservation, conservation, tourism, and quality of life. Methods of sharing may include exhibits, public art, and storytelling.
The resolution to adopt the Heritage Tourism Plan, signed by all three commissioners, notes the importance of the tourism industry to the local economy and the appreciation that residents and visitors have for the county’s natural assets, history, and culture.
In his presentation at the commissioners’ meeting, Chester County heritage preservation coordinator David Blackburn noted that the purpose of the plan is to increase heritage tourism in the county as an
Sierra Club
force development facility.
Also, St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, Lititz, developing new programming and purchasing supplies for maintenance and further development of its 3-acre Sacred Grounds project; and Thomas Wharton Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization, moving ahead with its North Mary Edible Garden and Tree Initiatives that will improve underutilized spaces on its campus.
The grant proposals, submitted to the Sierra Club - Lancaster Group over the past several months, were evaluated on criteria such as environmental objective, unique aspect of the project, quality of submission, and how the Lancaster Group might be involved.
The grants were in the past financed primarily with funds generated by the group’s Polar Bear 5K Trail Run/Hike and more recently were funded with money donated to the Group by its participation in the ExtraGive. Charita -

economic factor, encourage preservation of and investment in heritage sites and resources, and raise public awareness of the significance of historic communities and landscapes.
The Heritage Tourism Plan identifies Chester County’s historic framework through six primary themes: the natural landscape, the cultural landscape, evolving values, the Philadelphia campaign, iron and steel, and creative expression.
To prepare the plan, the Chester County Planning Commission partnered with consultants from Heritage Strategies, SWELL, ConsultEcon, and Heritage Consulting Inc., and coordinated with the America250PA Chester County Commission, while also getting input from many different partners and the general public.

Swimming is one of the many activities children look forward to during the summer. Before they jump into the pool, children and their family members should review safety guidelines.
According to data from the National Drowning Prevention Alliance, drowning is the single leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4. The YMCA of Greater Brandywine (YGBW) has offered tips to keep children safe in and around water.
Unlike the way it is sometimes portrayed in the media, drowning is typically silent and quick, and there is not time to ask for help. For this reason, children should ask for permission before going in or near the water.
When children are swimming, they should be actively supervised at all times. Children should be taught to only swim in locations where a lifeguard is on duty or where a responsible adult agrees to watch the children without distractions.
Parents and guardians should supervise their children whenever they are in or near water. Whether it is
bath time or kids are taking a dip in a pool, adults should make sure the children are within arm’s reach at all times.
Adults and children should not engage in breath-holding activities. Holding one’s breath for a prolonged amount of time while swimming can be dangerous.
Inexperienced swimmers and non-swimmers should always wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket while in or around the water.
If a loved one is struggling in deep water, the natural reaction may be to jump in the water to try and save them. However, even the best swimmers can be overpowered by a panicked person, pulling the rescuer under water. Instead, rescuers should use the “reach, throw, don’t go” method. They should use a long object to reach for their loved one and pull them to safety. By using this technique, an adult or child can help a loved one without compromising his or her own safety.
