Volunteers prepping for Bart Fire Company sale

2/28/2019

 
    A lot depends on the weather. A cold, rainy day means fewer people turn out. A warm, clear day will bring bigger crowds, as will a cold clear day.
    Organizers for the annual Bart Township Fire Company sales don't want to talk about snow.
    The all-volunteer fire company holds two sales in March. The first, set for Saturday, March 2, will focus on items ranging from carriages and farm equipment to sporting goods. The second sale, to be held Saturday, March 15, will include building supplies, lumber, and cabinets. Crafts will be sold on both days.

Go-Fore golf foregoes its glow games

2/15/2019

 
    New lighting is bringing a change to the annual Go-Fore Golf fundraiser at the Quarryville Library.
    The 10th annual fundraiser, to be held on Saturday, February 23, will be the first without a glow-in-the dark round of golf.
    The after-dark round was dropped because the black light bulbs cannot be used in the library's new LED fixtures.

Food bank awaits fallout from shutdown

2/13/2019

 
    In January, the federal supplemental food assistance program SNAP, commonly known as food stamps, made a double payment.
    Meant to offset the effects of the partial federal government shutdown, the second payment came nearly a month early for families who receive the benefit.
    That has meant some families will go six weeks or longer without new support.
    Nationwide, that has put an additional burden on food banks. So far, that effect has not reached the Solanco Food Bank.

Finders, keepers? Borough police await ruling on who gets unclaimed cash

2/7/2019

 
    Quarryville police are waiting for a ruling from the state treasurer's office to determine what will become of cash found and turned in late last year.
