Akron Borough Awarded Grant
Another grant, for $50,000, was recently awarded to the Borough of Akron from the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) for the upcoming stormwater management project in Roland Park. Stormwater management, drainage improvements and stream restoration are ways to increase groundwater recharge, protect the water supply and improve water quality. The Borough of Akron’s water supply wells and associated source water protection areas are located within Roland Park, the 85acre public park
owned and maintained by Akron Borough.
Akron Borough Manager, Sean Molchany, applied for the additional amount needed to cover the overage bid cost of the project. With this additional grant money, the project will now be financially completely covered.
Previously, a grant for $120,000 was received from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) for the purpose of working on a Streambank restoration project and Rain Garden project at Roland Park. Molchany also worked with Land Studies of Lititz to write a grant application to the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC). The $120,000 from the NFWF grant was used as an inkind requirement for this
second application (instead of coming out of Akron Borough’s budget) to expand the scope of the project. At that time the amount of grant monies totaled $748,770.71. A design was submitted to the state and approved. However, after being bid out, the cost of the project lacked $50,000. Now, with this last additional awarded grant, the amount for the project totals $798,770.71. Recently, Molchany met with the contractor, Aquatic Resource Restoration Company, from York, PA, about plans for a start date of Monday, August 19. The goal is to finish in 90 days.

reestablishing 1.5 acres of floodplain with wetland pockets to promote infiltration, surface water recharge, reduce flooding and filter pollutants; and installing rain gardens.
Stream restoration in Roland Park will involve relocating the existing stream and widening it out to allow for wider absorption into the ground for less erosion. In addition to rerouting the stream, a rain garden will be constructed. This is a depressed area in the landscape that allows rainwater to soak into the ground. Rain Gardens also
help filter out pollutants in runoff and provide food and shelter for wildlife. A grasslined swales will also be constructed and will act as a filter for impurities that would ultimately end up in the Chesapeake Bay. Planted grasses will look natural around the park and will add to the park aesthetics. According to Sue Davidson, Assistant Borough Manager, the plantings will add beauty to the park. “We’re proud of all of our parks, and day by day we work to make it a beautiful place, enjoyed by the whole community,” she said.

Meeting
The Friendly Circle held their August meeting on Tuesday, August 13 at Akron Community Church. President Carol Landis welcomed everyone and conducted the meeting.
Mary and Jerry Reinhold greeted 59 members and two guest to the meeting. President Landis started the meeting with The Friendly
Circle’s theme song “The More We get Together” followed by the “Pledge of Allegiance” and “God Bless America.” They also sang, “Brighten the Corner” and “Over the Rainbow,” accompanied by Gladys Horvath on the piano.
The devotional speaker was Pastor Duane Metzler from New Life Fellowship in Ephrata. Pastor Duane told them the church is still doing their hot dog ministry, serving hot dogs at Millersville University and talking to the students about Jesus. They are also starting
a release program with Fulton Elementary School where students are allowed to leave school for Biblical education. He also said, “don’t miss what God is doing, God is over all. God is still at work in the world.” He gave the group some better ways to think about the election. Kings ruled with heavy hands and did lots of evil. 1st Timothy says to live peacefully, pray for politicians. Jesus never tried to overcome the Romans, Jesus found a way to live with the Romans. Romans 13 says to show proper respect and submit to authority by doing good.
Obey laws your first allegiance is to God, then the flag. If you don’t agree with law, pray about it. Live as salt and light. Voting is a
privilege. Be at peace, Jesus is King. Hope will remain.
Pastor Duane also gave the blessing before the meal.
Following the delicious meal, they were entertained by Sandy Heisey from Mt. Joy. Sandy sang songs about summertime, camping, vacation and also played the piano she asked the members for requests and to sing along to any song they knew.
“Put Another Nickle In,” “It’s a Good Day” by Peggy Lee, “Hey Good Looking,” “Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh,” by Allan Sherman, “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yollow Polka Dot Bikini,” “Animals in the Choir,” “Wake up Little Suzie,” “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood, “This Little Light of Mine,” “You Are
My Sunshine” and “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.”
The business of the meeting was held with Secretary Libby Rupp reading the minutes from July 2024 and Treasurer Debbie Moyer giving the Treasurer’s report as of July 2024.
Pat Bunting led the singing of six August birthdays and two anniversaries, Judith and Robbin DeBow, 59 years, and Priscilla and John Rice, 59 years.
New members were introduced: Ginny Valentine, Barry Garner, Sr., Erna Martin, Rose Marie Mowrer, and Judy and Dave Hertzog.
President Landis reported 59 members present plus two guests.
Napkins were donated by Libby Rupp.

of 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the owners of the furnace property welcome the public to a free selfguided tour of the grounds.

Leanness of Soul
Author: Wenger
Scripture: Psalm 106:15“He gave them their request but sent leanness to their souls.”
In the context of this verse, we see the Hebrew children unsatisfied with the manna that God provided in the wilderness. All they had to do was collect the manna, yet nothing God provided was good enough. They accused God of seeking to destroy them by thirst, starvation, and Pharaoh’s armies at the Red Sea. They were constantly murmuring against God’s provisions, God’s plans and God’s leaders, Moses and Aaron. They often refused God’s counsel and spurned His will. They murmured about water on the third day’s journey from Egypt. Now in the second and third year, they are asking for quail; unhappy with the manna.
They forgot what God did in Egypt by miracles, judgments and His great deliverance at the Red Sea.
Let’s look in on the people and see the underlying attitude of greed; “Now the rabble who were among them had greedy cravings; and the sons of Israel also wept again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish which we used to eat for free in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now our appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna! (Numbers 11: 4, 5, 6).”
Now let’s turn our attention to the account of this event, and how God answered this request. “Now a wind burst forth from the Lord and it brought quail from the sea, and dropped them beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side all around the camp, and about two cubits deep on the surface of the ground.” And the people spent all that day, all night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the one who gathered
least gathered ten homers) and spread them out for themselves all around the camp (Numbers 11: 31, 32).”
With the granting of their request, God sent a curse of “leanness of soul,” and a plague that killed many of the people. Various translations of leanness are: “wasting disease” (NAS), “leanness” (KJV), and “wasting of their soul” (NIT). The Hebrew means, “scantiness of measure.”
“While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very severe plague” (Numbers 11: 33).
Verse 34 goes on to say, “there they buried the people who had been greedy.”
We can see what happens when we are not content with God’s provision. The root cause of their problem, as described in our account, is that they were greedy; nothing is ever enough for the greedy.
The people by and large, always thought God was holding out on them. The Bible says, “Godliness with contentment is great gain.”
(1 Timothy 6: 6). Paul said in Philippians 4: 11, “I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.” Christ said, “But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6: 33).
If we focus on the things of the world, we will forget the things of God. Maybe, just maybe, the leanness we have in our soul is the result of misplaced focus and priorities that are upside down. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,” everything else, and all we need, will take its proper place…no need to worry. We need to be content with God’s provision and give all of our attention to His kingdom and righteousness. God is good. He doesn’t hold out on us, but showers us with blessings. When we focus on ourselves and not His kingdom and righteousness, we can come to the place where we are never satisfied or content. A selfcentered life breeds greed, which leads to a leanness in our soul.

* On August 19, 1967, the Soviet Union’s communist newspaper, Pravda, accused China of making attacks on the Soviet embassy in Peking and straining relations between Russia and China, claiming that, “Literally not a single day passes without a malicious invention about the Soviet Union.”
* On August 20, 1959, actor Hugh O’Brian met his idol, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, in Africa at the physician’s hospital after being ferried up the Ogooue River by natives with leprosy. Following that initial encounter, O’Brian referred to Schweitzer as “a living saint.” The 83yearold doctor strongly urged the abolition of nuclear testing and war, and O’Brian returned to the U.S. with the same conviction.
* On August 21, 2006, South Korea sent over $230 million worth of humanitarian aid to North Korea after it was hit by severe flooding. North Korea claimed hundreds of people were killed or lost as a result, but South Korean aid agencies believed the number was more likely around 58,000. Seoul had suspended regular aid to the North because of Kim Jong Il’s missile tests, but elected to make this disaster a special exception.
* On August 22, 1948, Belgium’s Charles Theodore Henri Antoine Meinrad acted as regent of the kingdom on behalf of his exiled brother, Leopold, who was exiled to
Switzerland due to accusations of being too friendly with the Germans during Belgium’s occupation. Charles did not, however, move into the palace, nor did he access the 30 million Belgian francs that he was entitled to as king, seldom even leaving his own apartments and maintaining a low profile.
* On August 23, 1926, silent film heartthrob Rudolph Valentino died at just 31 from complications following surgery for appendicitis and gastric ulcers.
* On August 24, 1814, British troops led by General Robert Ross entered Washington, D.C., and burned down many public buildings, including the White House and the Capitol building.
* On August 25, 1992, The Sun newspaper published a phone conversation with an unknown woman who may have been Britain’s Princess Diana, talking with an unknown man about her unhappy marriage. Thousands paid up to $22 to listen to the full recording on a paid phone service.

Recently, Lion John Weiss was recognized as a Melvin Jones Fellow by the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) and the East Cocalico Lions club for his commitment to serving the world community. Named for the founder of Lions Clubs International, Melvin Jones, this fellowship is the highest form of recognition given by the foundation and honors commitment to humanitarian service. Lion John is one of the Clubs’ quiet ones. He feels comfortable sitting in the background and does not require much attention. But don’t let that fool you. His roar is mighty.
Since joining the club in 2018, he has been very active. He volunteers at most of the fundraisers and events of the club. He also serves in a leadership role for the club. John received a finely crafted plaque, a letter from Past Lions International President Brian Sheehan and a lapel pin acknowledging his dedication to the foundation’s humanitarian goals. As a Melvin Jones Fellow, he became a part of the growing network of individuals who are committed to improving the quality of life for people locally and in communities around the world.

Divisibility Rules
Finding the factors of small numbers is easy. Most people know that the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6. Most people know that the factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20. Finding the factors of large numbers like 224,040 can get complicated unless you are familiar with some divisibility rules.
There are some quick and easy rules for determining whether a number is divisible by 1, 2, 3 and so forth. Every number, for example, is divisible by 1. Every number that ends in an even digit is divisible by 2. Every number that ends in 0 or 5 is divisible by 5. Every number whose digits add up to a sum divisible by 3 is divisible by 3. Every number whose last two digits make a number divisible by 4 is divisible by 4. These are just some examples of divisibility rules. There are many others. The more you know, the easier you may find it to find the factors of large numbers.
Prime Number Challenge
Any number greater than 1 that can be divided only by 1 and itself is a prime number—17, for example, can be divided only by 1 and 17, and therefore, is a prime number. Here are some questions about prime numbers. How many can you answer correctly?
1) There are only two even prime numbers: 2 and 4. Fact or Fiction?
2) One is not a prime number. Fact or Fiction?
3) Zero is not a prime number. Fact or Fiction?
4) Five is not a prime number. Fact or Fiction?
5) There are no prime numbers greater than 5 that end in 5. Fact or Fiction?
6) If you can divide a number by 2 and get a whole number, the number is not a prime. Fact or Fiction?
7) Six is a prime number. Fact or Fiction?
8) Seven is a prime number. Fact or Fiction?
9) Nine is a prime number. Fact or Fiction?
10) If you can add the digits of a number and divide the sum by 3, the number is not a prime. Fact or Fiction?
A: Because it gives them square roots.
* Guglielmo Marconi, whose invention of wireless telegraphy was credited for saving the lives of over 700 Titanic passengers after it sank in 1912, had turned down a free passage on the ship, choosing instead to go to America via the Lusitania three days earlier. He narrowly missed death at sea a second time in 1915, when he was again a passenger on the Lusitania, about a month before it was sunk by a German U-boat.
* The story of Cinderella first appears in a Chinese book written in the 850s.
* Margaret Dixon, a Scottish criminal, was hanged at Musselburgh in 1728. However, just a few hours later, she climbed out of her coffin, and was reprieved and pardoned. Still, as her husband was considered a widower because she was “officially” deceased, Scottish law dictated that they had to remarry.
* The country of Liechtenstein has twice as many registered corporations as citizens.
* Groups of geese on the ground are called a gaggle, but in the air they’re referred to as a skein.
