Picture
    Alumni from Solanco High School’s field hockey program held an open play day at the school on Friday evening, June 21. The alumni split into two teams and then held an informal competition on the field.
    “We tossed the sticks into a pile and divided them into two teams,” organizer Deb Atkins said.
    Participating were Laura Cater Gingrich, Paige Hess, Erica Brackbill Bare, Morgan Jackson Holzhauer, Whitney Hawkins, Alli Tanner, Michelle DiFilippo, Jodi Carter Unger, Chelsea Tice, Kristi Shaver, Mary Atkins, Sheena Hanley, Tricia Jackson, Lindsey Bowe Orr, Dana Groff Huber, Kate Hess Shaver, and Kylee Kostenbader. A few high school players filled out the teams.
    The event was held following the last day of the summer hockey camp.

Solanco Fair Parade Theme

6/25/2013

 
Ever since 1998, organizers have given Solanco Fair Parade participants a theme. Sometimes, the theme seems eerily prescient. In June of 2001, the parade committee chose We Will Survive as the theme for the parade that would be held four months later, just days after terrorists attacked the United States. Other times, the theme means one thing to the parade committee and something entirely different to the participants. That's what happened the first year the parade had a theme.

End of school locker cleanouts turned up the usual debris, school officials said last week.
There were bundles of school papers, glasses, sweatshirts, jackets, and a few watches. And 31 bags of baby carrots. That's what one custodian found in a Solanco High School locker she was cleaning. The locker's former user apparently had not been a fan of the more nutritious lunches the school's cafeteria has been serving.

Blood drive at Son's Ice Italian ice and ice cream

6/25/2013

 
Picture
Summer's ideal for Italian ice but it's not as good a season for blood supplies at area hospitals. That's the reason Howie Zeamer agreed to donate a pint of Italian ice to everyone who gives a pint of blood at Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank's drive in Quarryville later this month.

"They agreed to send a mobile unit to do it here [at Son's Ice Cream at the intersection of W. State St. and Fifth St. in Quarryville] and all of the donated blood stays in Pennsylvania," Zeamer said last week.

The drive comes during a time when blood is in short supply, said Ryan Holp, donor resource consultant with the blood bank.

Solanco girls hockey camp

6/25/2013

 
About 40 girls spent last week learning the basics or new skills at Solanco's hockey camp. The camp was held on the school's varsity hockey field.     The elementary-age players learned the basics of the game while older students worked on stick skills and tactics. The players also learned to work together as a team. The week-long camp, held in the mornings, is an expansion of earlier after-school camps. Several years ago, the program started running summer camps. Members of Solanco's high school varsity hockey team help coach the camp, which attracts many girls who are new to hockey.

Rain slows road work

6/19/2013

 
According to Susquehanna River Basin's records, this year's rainfall is below normal. Local road crews might disagree.
"We're about three weeks behind in our work [due to rain]," Fulton Township roadmaster and supervisor William Taylor said last week. "We started work on Peters Creek Rd. and we haven't been able to get back to it. We finally got spraying [for weeds] done. We've never been this late before."

The prognosis wasn't good when New Providence resident Jeff

The disease had invaded his sinuses and was advanced when he sought the help of oncologist Dr. Hyatt "Tracy" DeGreen IV, who practices with his father in Lancaster Cancer Center Ltd.
So far, he's beaten the odds, Jeff said. After three years, he's still in remission.

Solanco's largest Mule arrived Tuesday morning and was hoisted into place shortly before
11 a.m. The Mule, which weights more than half a ton and stands a bit over eight feet tall, was a gift to Solanco High School by members of the graduating class of 2011.

"The Class of 2011 left money to do a sports statue," said Solanco High School Principal Brian Gallagher. "Then Ina [high school secretary Ina Wilson] came up with the concept."

Surviving Cancer

Moira Grubb's elective surgery probably saved her life.

"I went in for foot surgery in 1979," she recalled last week. "They did some blood work and told me I needed to see a gynecologist."

That led to the diagnosis of cervical and uterine cancer and a complete hysterectomy in January of 1980.

"And I've been clean ever since," the Eden Township resident said. "I'm very, very lucky in lots of respects, because if I hadn't had elective surgery, I wouldn't be
here right now."

Runner roster up for Bard 5K race

The Chronicle

The second annual Bob Bard 5K race has already attracted more
runners than last year's inaugural event.

"We had 287 sign up to run or walk last year," said Adreienne Bard Wilk. "We already
have 294 this year."

The group started planning this year's race even before the final runners finished the course in 2012.

"Once we saw it was going to go well, we decided to make it an annual event," Wilk said.

Wilk, her sister, Ashley Bard Solomon, and their mother, Brenda Bard, organized last year's race in memory of the late Bob Bard. They decided to organize the 2012 event after nearly 100 people from Quarryville participated in the 2011 5K Race for Hope in Washington, D.C., to raise funds for brain cancer research.

So they spent about an hour Saturday morning, June 8, learning how to save some of the flavor of fresh strawberries for the coming winter. 

The Gartmans, who live in Colerain Township, were learning how to make freezer jam. The process isn't as complicated as making regular preserves, said teacher Cindy Rohrer.

Evan Munro remembers being sick. Once. "I had eaten something bad and threw up," he recalled last week. But it wasn't on a school day. "It was a long time ago and it was either on a weekend or in the summer," he said.

He never missed a day of school because he was sick or for any other reason. Not in 13 years.

"Everyday, when I wake up, I want to go to school," Munro said.

When he graduates from Solanco High School later this week, he will equal his eldest brother's attendance record. Neil Munro, who graduated in 2011 had perfect
attendance from the first day of kindergarten until the last day of his senior year.
