Picture
    For more than three years, Matthew Kirchoff has run the department that feeds about 4,000 Solanco students every day.
    Now he's also responsible for getting them to school in the morning and taking them home in the afternoon.
    Kirchoff was appointed to his new post on January 1.
    He assumed the additional responsibilities after Jason McClune resigned as transportation director to become Providence Township's roadmaster.

Sharing a love of knitting

1/19/2016

 
Picture
    Sometimes, knitting is a solitary craft.
    But not on Thursday evenings.
    That's when a group of knitters, experienced and novice alike, gather in the meeting room at the Quarryville Library to share their art.
    The informal group began meeting eight or nine years ago, member Debby Joy said last week.
    "A bunch of knitters said they needed to get together and knit. That's how it started," Joy said. "We enjoy the camaraderie."

Solving a problem with wheels & a drill

1/18/2016

 
Picture
    Getting from point A to point B can be easy. Students can walk, ride skateboards, peddle a bike, or drive.
    Or they can pick the difficult route, putting together a machine that uses spoked wheels and is driven by a battery-powered drill.
    That machine, if it works as planned, will take team members to Millersville, a state competition, and the world championship.
    The national contest is the ultimate destination for successful Odyssey of the Mind teams.

1/15/2016

 
Picture
     As he made the transition from one job to another, Jason McClune realized the two positions have one basic goal.
    "It's still about public safety," he said last week.
    McClune left his position as Solanco School District's director of transportation at the end of 2015 and began his new job as Providence Township's roadmaster on January 4.

Nuts 'n Bolts consignment sale

1/12/2016

 
Picture
      With a year's experience, organizers of the Nuts 'n Bolts consignment sale have added vintage jewelry to the items being sold at their fundraiser on January 16.
      The jewelry does fit in with the theme of featuring items of interest to men.
      "It's not to wear," Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church member Boni Henry said. "It's to be used to make crafts and stuff."
      The inaugural event last year did well.

Flowing Oil Cafe's Easter dinner to be served on January 9

1/7/2016

 
      This year, Easter falls on March 27.
      That's as early as it has been since 2008.
      Flowing Oil Café's traditional Easter dinner will be even earlier.
      It will be served Saturday night, January 9.
      That's because the team that usually serves the meal in April will be cooking the meal on January 9. That team prepares ham, baked sweet potatoes, string beans, corn, applesauce, and dessert.
