    A grant will help the Solanco Little League go greener.
    The $5,000 Land O' Lakes Foundation grant will help pay for a rainwater collection and storage system at the league complex on Kirkwood Pike, said league president Ken Crank.
    "We're going to collect rainwater off the buildings and store it in a tank. We'll then use the water to irrigate the ballfields," Crank said.

    Some come from families with long histories of volunteering with local fire companies. Others have no family firefighting tradition when they join the Quarryville Fire Company.
    But the younger members of the all-volunteer company share a desire to help the community and learn new skills.
    "When I see people in need, I want to be able to help," said Sarah Jones.
    Jones is one of nearly a dozen young members, some just 15 years old, who have joined the fire company in recent years. She has been pleasantly surprised by the reception she's received.

Ferguson & Hassler celebrating 100th anniversary

Picture
    When he was 14, Thurston "Wink" Hassler started working in the family business.
    He went full-time when he graduated from high school in 1939 and, with time out to serve in the military during World War II, stayed with the business until he retired in 2000.
    Over the years, the business changed drastically.
    "The biggest change is the variety and the number of items we've added. It's out of this world," he said. "Back then, we had two kinds of cereal - corn flakes and oatmeal. Now the assortment is fantastic and everything comes in umpteen sizes."
