The Junior Miss Program has a new name:

“Distinguished Young Women”K nown as the York County Junior Miss Program for the past 45 years, the program has a new name

but it is still retains its original essence. It recognizes outstanding high school students for their accomplishments and rewards them with scholarship dollars. This program inspires young women

to develop their full potential through a fun, transformative experience that culminates in a celebratory showcase of their talents.

“Distinguished Young Women” provides this life-altering experience by: *Encouraging continued education and providing college scholarships *Developing self-confidence and the ability to interview effectively, to speak in public, to perform on stage and to build interpersonal relationships

*Encouraging and showcasing excellence in academic achievement, physical fitness, on-stage performance skills, and the ability to think and communicate clearly

*Creating opportunities to beneficially inspire the lives of othersThis scholarship program has awarded more than $600,000 locally to deserving students. Each year,

participants from York County learn more about themselves and earn monies for their education through this unique opportunity. The 2011 program will be held on April 30 at Central York High School, and girls who are currently in their junior year in high school may go to www.YorkDistinguishedYW.org for application information.

About the Writer: Lyn Bergdoll is President of York County Junior Miss, Inc. She also serves as the Chair of this scholarship program, now entitled Distinguished Young Women. With a Masters Degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Lyn combines her experience in education with her extensive work in the nonprofit world. As a faculty member of York College of Pennsylvania, she taught the dance program for 25 years. Lyn choreographs musicals, events and performing groups throughout southcentral Pennsylvania.

As the nation prepares to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, Pennsylvania is inviting travelers to its capital city, Harrisburg, this November to participate in a story largely unknown to most Americans – the Pennsylvania Grand Review.

A celebration of this historical event, along with a reenactment of The Grand Review, will serve as a commemoration of the November 1865 event and its planning, involving tens of scores of people from Philadelphia to Erie, has become a gateway to learn and grow through a personal encounter with history. The Pennsylvania Grand Review, organized by the women of Harrisburg to honor the United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) from 25 states who were not permitted to participate in the Grand Review of the Armies, a military procession and celebration held May 23-24, 1865 in Washington, D.C., following the end of the Civil War, will attract hundreds coming from near and far.

The descendants of the African American patriots will convene in

Harrisburg, with friends, neighbors and supporters, to relive that historic gathering as the first of many commemorations inaugurating Civil War 150. The commemoration of the Grand Review has actually become a year-long event including exhibitions, presentations, and conservation projects that have revealed the hidden histories of the U.S.C.T. The effort continues to build and will culminate in the four-day extravaganza being held from Thursday November 4 to Sunday, November 7, 2010.

This long weekend of celebration, heritage and living history in the heart of downtown Harrisburg comes, in fact, during the time that Harrisburg is celebrating its 150th anniversary. “So it’s the perfect time to experience all the good things about Harrisburg, its culture, entertainment and restaurants,” volunteers and staff people agree, and for more information, they urge everyone to visit www.visitPA.com/GrandReview for the complete list of events and travel information.

“Most of the venues are within easy walking distance of Amtrak’s Harrisburg Transportation Center,” spokespersons noted, “and downtown hotels and businesses will be ready to greet visitors of all ages, with plenty of free family activities among the ticketed events to appeal to all.”

A CApitAl WeeKeNDThe Grand Review was also designed

to appeal to visitors unfamiliar with Pennsylvania’s beautiful capital, known as “A Palace of Art,” to students of architecture and the visual arts. The proximity to museum treasures like the National Civil War Museum and other Harrisburg attractions makes the Capital Weekend an inviting getaway for those not from this region as well as an alluring must-do for people who make up today’s City on the Susquehanna. The Downtown Grand Review Parade, stepping off Saturday, November 6, will trace the historic route of the 1865 event and act as a unifying magnet for visitors and residents.

the Gilded Age: 1870-1910 is just one of the many courses that get underway the week of

October 4 as part of the fall classes offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Penn State York. For adults who never want to stop experiencing life and learning, OLLI offers courses of interest during the day without the stress of tests, requirements, and official textbooks. OLLI began offering courses in April 2008 and since that time the organization has grown to more than 250 members with a variety of daytime courses, bus trips, walking tours, and lunchtime learning sessions.

Molly Dallmeyer, a York native and a high school social studies teacher in the Dallastown Area School District, is the course instructor for The Guilded Age: 1870-1910. Dallmeyer will take students on a journey through history during a time when America was experiencing phenomenal growth in many areas. Throughout the six-week course a variety of questions will be answered. How did the places, people and events mold our country into a world power? What events dramatically changed the course of history for our country? Who was important in shaping those events? Why is this time period so crucial to our standing in the world today? Classes will explore topics on immigration, reform, Jim Crow, American education,

popular culture and entertainment, the presidents, politics and the world stage. The course will also cover westward expansion, the “Splendid Little War,” working conditions, and leisure time more than 100 years ago.

This isn’t Dallmeyer’s first time teaching for OLLI, she has taught courses on the Holocaust years (1933-1945), The Rise of Nazi Germany (1920-1945), and also a course on Great Americans. When she first volunteered to teach for OLLI, Dallmeyer was a stay at home mother who had resigned from her teaching career to raise her children. Becoming a part of OLLI was not something she planned.

“I received the flyer in the mail about OLLI courses, and noticed that they were presenting a course on Gettysburg and since I had been a former high school social studies teacher, that topic was right up my alley. I had to find a way to take this course, and it fit my schedule; my daughter was in school by that time, and my son would be in pre-school for a few hours. I figured, a two- hour class, for six weeks, on a topic that I wanted to know more about, without homework or tests, and right in my own backyard was just perfect,” said Dallmeyer.

Her only concern was that she thought OLLI was a program just for retired people. Luckily, Dallmeyer decided to take the plunge and attend the course taught by Tom Schaeffer, a

local historian. Through that course she a met a number of OLLI board members who convinced her to teach a course and she has been involved since that time.

Dallmeyer shares that there’s an advantage to taking OLLI courses for students and teachers alike. For her, OLLI courses are so enjoyable to teach because the students in the class want to be there and have a genuine interest

in learning something new. It’s not like courses you teach to students who are required to be there and may not really want to learn.

“OLLI students have a wealth of knowledge about so many things other than the topics we focus on in class. My students include career lawyers, mechanics, school teachers, homemakers and the like, who all have life experiences to offer. Many of these adults have become my friends outside of the classroom, and have assisted my work with my high school students. It is so rewarding to stand in front of these people for six weeks and share what I know,” said Dallmeyer.

OLLI has a $50 yearly membership fee that covers two semesters and a $20 fee for each course taken.

The days of summer fun are over and everyone is getting back to the “fall of things....”

With gladness we remember that “The Arts and Music” are always alive within us. I could not imagine life without them. There’s plenty of inspiration around us and all we have to do is engage in the bounty.

The ArtsArtist Millie Noback focuses on her

progression as an artist. Her September show “Evolution” is made up of mostly abstract art using watercolor, acrylic, ink on Yupo. Her inspiration comes from her feelings, an emotional place in her imagination she is exploring during her work. Everyone is invited to stop by the Artist Reception on Saturday, September 11 from 1 to 4 p.m.

The exhibition takes place at the Hanover Area Arts Guild Gallery, 32 Carlisle St., Hanover. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. More information is available at www.hanoverareaarts.com.

York County artist Dan Hendrix will be showing some of his work during the month of September at the Harmony Ridge Art Gallery in the Cross Keys Village, New Oxford, and also in the 2nd Floor Gallery of the Main Building of Cross Keys Village. Dan has painted people and places in a variety of media throughout his life, he tells the visitor.

Currently, the majority of his work is acrylic on board. Some of Dan’s largest work can be at outdoor sites in and around Downtown York in the form of murals. His was the first in the York Murals, Inc. program, a terrific series of painting that tells the story of York and its workers as well as its dreamers and inventors. Smaller works that Dan has completed hang in many private and corporate collections.

“I agree with the principle of less is more.” Dan says, “the less I say about my work, the more each viewer can reach his or her own conclusion. All that I ask

is that one just looks. Just look.”

The MusicThe Elysian Camerata, an

ensemble of seasoned classical music performers, will present a free, public concert on Sunday, September 12, at 2 p.m. in the Nicarry Meetinghouse at Cross Keys Village, The Brethren Home Community in New Oxford referred to above.

This concert is part of the 2010 Fine Arts Series, presented by the Brethren Home Community Auxiliary. It initially was scheduled for September 18 but was changed due to a conflict.

The members of the Elysian Camerata have been performing throughout the Philadelphia area for years, but their less formal collaboration only recently became a formal ensemble under this

name. Their primary goal is to perform music true to the composer’s intent. The members, all veteran performers, are Barbara Jaffe and Jean Louise Shook, violin; Louise Jaffe and Beth Dzwil, viola; Talia Schiff, cello, and Rahel Inniger, piano. Seating is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis.

For more information about this or other fine arts events at Cross Keys Village, The Brethren Home Community, call 717-624-5203.

The Folk Trio Red Molly Returns to Harrisburgon September 15 By Jess Hayden

Harrisburg – Red Molly, the all-girl folk/bluegrass band known for their lush harmonies, stellar songwriting and dynamic stage presence, pays a return visit to the region on Wednesday, September 15. They will perform at the Stage on Herr, Harrisburg’s newest stage and bar. According to co-owner John Traylor, this venue is perfect for groups like Red Molly because it offers the audience an intimate “listening room” experience not replicated anywhere else in the area.

The trio fist came together during the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in New York state where its members discovered a mutual love of country, bluegrass and old-time gospel during a late-night jam. Over the past six years Red Molly’s popularity has skyrocketed; netting them appearances at major festivals throughout the United States, a feature in Sing Out! magazine and several #1 songs on the Folk DJ chart.

Fans attending the concert may notice a new face in the band. Last July long-time band member Carolann Solebello left the group to pursue a solo career and spend more time with her family. After an extensive search for a replacement the two remaining members, Abbie Gardner and Laurie MacAllister, settled on Austin-based musician Molly Venter. The newest “Molly” brings strong songwriting skills and an exciting modern musical sensibility to the group. The trio has been busy co-writing together for the first time (aided by the ease of sending MP3s back and forth over the Internet), reinventing fan favorites, and learning new songs. “This is an exciting time for the band; we’re so thrilled that Molly has joined us”, says MacAlllister. Gardner adds, “We couldn’t have even hoped for a more perfect fit.”

This is Red Molly’s fourth visit to the Harrisburg region. Previously they played in a collaborative concert with the Susquehanna Folk Music Society at several locales, including the Dauphin County’s Sunset Series at Fort Hunter Park and for Harrisburg City’s Italian Lake Concert Series

Classical Music, 1750 – 1810 By Karen Wix

Do Your Part For The Arts

llllllllWe have now arrived at the era that

can truly be called the “classical” age of music. As we have learned the wealthy, the church and the cultured elite were the main support of the musical institutions until the mid eighteenth century. During the Baroque period composers and musicians usually had fixed appointments with a particular city, church or court. By the time Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven came along there was a thriving middle class that was eager to attend public concerts and they were happy to pay for the privilege.

Joseph Haydn started his long and illustrious career as the protégé of the Hungarian, Prince Paul Anton Esterhazy. Spending 30 years refining his music, he became world famous even while living a cloistered life on a remote estate financed by Prince Paul and later the prince’s brother, Prince Nicholas. The Princes afforded Haydn the time and money to flesh out what would eventually become today’s symphony orchestra. The Principality became the center of culture in Hungary and rivaled all the great courts of Europe. Haydn finally left to emerge into the real world in 1791 and was able to support himself by selling his music, something that most musicians who were supported by a third party were not allowed to do.

The symphony really began with the Italian opera of the Baroque period.

In the mid 18th century it became common to stage short musical pieces to introduce operas….these were called overtures. Generally, the overtures had three quite distinct sections, a slow movement sandwiched between two fast ones. This formed the basis of the symphony’s structure. Haydn wrote specifically for these performances and is often called “the father of the symphony.”

While the late 18th century symphony orchestra was small by today’s standards it was in its makeup very similar. The string section carried the music’s theme but as the years passed horns and woodwinds became a substantial part of the orchestra which greatly enriched the sound with ever changing tone colors. In the hands of Haydn and later Mozart the new sounds came to define the sound of the symphony.

Haydn wrote over 100 symphonies, Mozart half that number and at the end of the 18th century the two musical geniuses were joined later by Ludwig van Beethoven who wrote only 9 symphonies but the subtle changes that he made in the makeup of music written as symphonies and the drama and power he produced, transformed the classical symphony in a way that would dominate for over a century. The opening of his Fifth Symphony with its ominous fate motif is perhaps the best known of all musical passages. Beethoven is considered the most

crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras of Western music.

In the early 1780’s Mozart began writing opera “buffa.” Opera buffa grew out of the comic intermezzo performed as a filler between acts of the primary dramatic opera. Eventually these pieces joined and became two act comedy operas. These “operas” featured everyday people and situations, not the gods and heroes of the earlier compositions. Arguably Mozart’s most famous opera buffa is “The Marriage of Figaro.” “Don Giovanni” and “Cosi fan Tutte” are two other Mozart comic operas that still enjoy great favor today.

The French Revolution in 1789 began a time when music was used to stir patriotic fervor. Marching bands would march through the streets of Paris whipping people into frenzy to change the way they were ruled. Later Napoleon used music in the same way. “La Marseillaise”, the French national anthem was written in 1792 as a marching song but soon captured the imagination of the people that it was played and sung at every opportunity.

In the later 18th century religious superstition and authority gave way to rationality and self expression. The “Enlightenment” as it was called had an effect on all the arts, in music it resulted in countless classical masterpieces and the reinvention of opera. Willibald Gluck, a traditional

opera composer began to compose so-called “reform operas” which featured women in women’s roles and men in men’s roles (what a concept), before this time castrati were often cast as women and the men’s parts were often sung in the falsetto range. The reform operas became much more realistic and therefore more acceptable to the public. There was a whole new emphasis on naturalistic singing and acting.

Concert life during the 18th century reflected the public’s growing taste for musical entertainment. Because money was always a concern the subscription concert was born. It became common for composers to give concerts of their own music in theaters and other public spaces. Concert societies were formed and concerts were open to anyone who could afford the entrance fee. Vienna, Paris and London were centers of music during the 18th century. Composers knew that they could find supporters and approving audiences in these cities. In this atmosphere the classical age flourished and gave us all the music that we have come to love.

Culture, Food and Theater

It’s that time of year again. The end of summer is rapidly approaching. While the kids go back to school, the temperatures cool and the leaves turn their brilliant autumn hues, two major events will be taking place in York and Adams Counties. Other counties in our region have their own traditional fairs and festivals, so plan your weekends in advance or take a vacation day. You know you need one.

September 10–19 will feature the York Fair at the York Fairgrounds, at 334 Carlisle Avenue, York. This year’s Toyota Grandstand headline concerts and shows include Lady Antebellum, Selena Gomez & Allstar Weekend, Seether, and TNA Wrestling. Admission price is $6 for adults, $3 for children (ages 5 – 11), and children under 5 enter free. Go online to www.yorkfair.com for special admission discounts and rates as well as other coming attractions.

An average of a hundred thousand people a day come out to the York Fair to indulge in the rich Pennsylvania Dutch-flavored foods, see the farm animal exhibits, flowers, plants and artwork contests, or enjoy a thrill on

the carnival rides. Free features this year include Pirates of the Caribbean High Divers, Royal Hanneford Circus, Swifty Swine Racing Pigs, A Pumpkin Extravaganza, Harness Racing, and High School Bands on Parade. All information is online.

Then, the first two weekends in October (October 2-3 and October 9-10) are reserved strictly for your tastebuds. Get your apple-on at the National Apple Harvest Festival in Arendtsville, at the South Mountain Fairgrounds on Route 234 in Adams County. General

admission is $9. Children under 12 enter free. Admission includes parking and shuttle service to the fair.

Have your fill of apples, then check out some of the other attractions. These include an antique and classic cars exhibit, 300 arts and crafts vendors, chainsaw carving, hayrides, pony rides, tractor square dancing, a petting zoo and a photo contest, to name a few. Besides apples galore, other foods will be available for purchase, including chicken and pork barbecue, open pit beef, ribeye steak sandwiches and more. The schedule of events is too long to list here, so check out the web site for more information at www.appleharvest.com.

As summer comes to an end, one thing is certain: there is always something to do in Southcentral Pennsylvania. So start counting your calories now, because when Pennsylvania Dutch Country beckons, you’ll want to be ready and have some extra room for those tasty foods!

It’s the Season for Fairs and Festivals in Southcentral Pennsylvaniaby Kevin Leitzel

Getting Around

What makes these pigs run? Would you believe chocolate cookies? Photo by Bill Schintz.


Those of us who live in southcentral Pennsylvania are often so absorbed in our own local history that we sometimes forget what is “just across the road.” Often we forget how close we are to the sites of other major and significant events. This was certainly in mind on a recent field trip to Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in nearby West Virginia.

Harpers Ferry, located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers at the point where Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia borders meet, was the

scene of a raid by John Brown and his self-styled “army of liberation” of twenty-two men, including three of his sons, in October of 1859. Brown anticipated capturing the Federal Arsenal there with its 100,000 weapons and that this success would begin a slave insurrection.

However, there was no success and, within a short time, Brown and his men were trapped in an engine house that has since been restored as John Brown’s Fort. They were captured by Confederate troops led by Robert E. Lee and J.E.B. Stuart. Brown was tried

and hanged in Charlestown within a few weeks. Most of his men were killed but a few escaped. One even returned to Harpers Ferry many years later, according to local newspaper reports. Another escaped through the forests, used the network of Underground Railroad stations and was given refuge in York by William Goodridge as he made his way to Canada and safety.

John Brown considered a madman and terrorist by many and a God-driven hero by others devoted his entire life and that of his substantial family (22 children) to the slavery issue. His past

record outraged most of the South, and yet he found financial support among many prominent abolitionists in the North. The shots fired during this event are regarded by many historians as the first of the Civil War.

The buildings that make up the John Brown story are concentrated in the Lower Town area and include several films, many museums, displays and exhibits pertaining to the Raid. Parking is at the Visitor Center, where bus transportation is available. A fee of $6 per automobile is collected at that point.

Shops and food venues are scattered throughout the hills of Lower Town within easy walking. An excellent bookstore is available, and restrooms are conveniently situated on the “main street.” There are spectacular views of the mountains and rivers here, the Appalachian Trail crosses the scenic river bridge at this point and notations about Thomas Jefferson’s visit in the late 1700s identify this place as one of the most beautiful in America.

Many programs have been scheduled in October to recognize the significance of this compelling event, and notably, on October 9, from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., there will be living history and special programs entitled “Election Day 1860.” On October 16 (the day of the Raid) there will be living history presentations entitled “At All Times Ready: The U.S. Marines” from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. These programs are free with the park admission.

It’s an easy drive to Harpers Ferry from almost anywhere in the region and if you head out Route 30, the Lincoln Highway, between York and Gettysburg, follow Route 15 South, you’ll be there before you know it.

Contact information is available at www.nps.gov/hafe or by calling 304-525-6029. The mailing address is P.O. Box 65, Harpers Ferry, WV 25425.

It seems like everyone here at ShowcaseNow! is talking about the Grand Review Week planned for this coming November in Harrisburg and talk of the United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) turned my mind to Edward Zwick’s 1989 film, Glory.

This Academy Award winning film (Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Denzel Washington, Cinematography and Best Sound) tells the story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, whose letters form a basis for the film. Screenwriter Kevin Jarre also based his screenplay on the books Lay This Laurel by Lincoln Kirstein and One Gallant Rush by Peter Burchard.

The huge cast includes Matthew Broderick as Colonel Shaw, scion of a wealthy Boston family with strong abolitionist leanings; Cary Elwes as Major Kevin Forbes -- and as the four soldiers whose stories represent the entire company, Andre Braugher as Thomas Searles, a childhood friend of Shaw and Forbes; Morgan Freeman as Sgt. Major Rawlins; Denzel Washington as the rebellious Trip and Jihmi Kennedy as Sharts.

Broderick is very effective as Shaw, a 27-year old suddenly given responsibility for making the 54th into a disciplined army, a job he takes very seriously. Although it’s rumored in the story that the Colored Troops will only be used as laborers, Shaw insists on their receiving the proper training. When supplies are denied his troops, he takes matters into his own hands to get them the shoes they desperately need, and the uniforms that coalesce them into a proud group of soldiers.

All involved give moving performances, but whenever Washington is onscreen he radiates, first with the force of his anger, then with the fervor of a soldier. His most moving scene is when, as punishment for “deserting” he’s given 20 lashes. The looks of horror on the faces of Shaw and Forbes when the camera shows that Trip’s back is already horribly scarred by beatings in the past are

unforgettable. So are the regret shown when Shaw orders the punishment to continue, and finally, the defiance and pride on Trip’s face as he stares into Shaw’s eyes while receiving the beating. I also feel the scene when he “witnesses” on the night before battle is moving and memorable. Washington as Trip has no equal.

The battle scenes are, as with most such scenes, difficult to watch. Contrasting with the violence is James Horner’s haunting score with the angelic voices of the Harlem Boy’s Choir rising over the carnage. The battle that is the climax of the film is the attempted taking of Fort Wagner.

Even when he is convinced that the casualties will be tremendous, Shaw volunteers the 54th to lead the charge into the mouths of the cannons and artillery that make the fort impenetrable.

If you decide to watch Glory, it would be worth your while to find the 2-disc Special Edition. One of the special features is an informative documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman, telling what happens to the remaining men of the 54th after the battle of Fort Wagner, along with wonderful daguerreotypes and sketches of the men. I highly recommend this film to any student of the Civil War. I think this film conveys a realistic picture of the time and the men who fought together to reunite this country of ours.

Celebrating Excellence

the interior of Martin Library is stunning on any normal library day, but on the evening of Friday, October 22 it will be all a glitter.

Curtains of shimmering diamonds -- fake, but fun and flashy -- will bejewel the library as it commemorates its 75th Anniversary with a “Denim & Diamonds” benefit celebration. The Library opened on Halloween night in 1935.

The fundraising event will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Library, 159 E. Market Street, York. Heavy hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, desserts and entertainment by “REAL DIAMOND,” the Premier Neil Diamond Tribute Band, are all included in the $35 ticket price. Tickets will go on sale at the library main desk starting Friday, September 10. They will be available through Monday, October 18. All proceeds benefit the library, aiding its continued service to the York Community.

“Dress for the evening in your denim and diamond best. Wear your nicest jeans and add lots of bling, or put on your formal wear and mix in some denim,” says Donor Relations Manager Karla Heberlig. “We think the evening is going to be a blast, and we hope everyone will come help celebrate our 75th year. There is no doubt that there will be lots of dancing to “REAL DIAMOND,” and if you listen closely, I bet you’ll hear some singing along too.”

“We are a professional band dedicated to the faithful re-creation of the live Neil Diamond experience,” says Curt DiDomizio, REAL DIAMOND’S lead singer and founder. “We are obsessively passionate about providing you with

the finest Neil Diamond show short of having the man there himself.” The Lansdale-based band will perform note-for-note renditions of Neil Diamond’s greatest hits including the songs “Cracklin’ Rosie”, “Sweet Caroline”, “Hello Again”, “You Know What I Mean”, “September Morn”, “Love on the Rocks” and “Forever in Blue Jeans”.

DiDomizio has been entertaining crowds since elementary school, singing Elvis, Neil Diamond, Elton John and others. His musical repertoire includes playing rhythm guitar and drums as well as writing songs. In addition to his live performances, he has appeared in commercials, T.V. shows and has done voice-over work.

For more information or for assistance purchasing tickets, please contact the Martin Library Development Office at 849-6952.

Commemorating 75 years of Commitment to the Community

Milton Martin and his wife, the former Martha Jane Landes, envisioned a free public library for the community of York. It was brought to fruition through the dedicated efforts of individuals specifically named by Milton Martin to form the Martin Library Association. The library held two public grand openings, one on October 31, and the second on

November 2, 1935. The brand new collection consisted of 22,000 books, audio records, and pamphlets. Today, the library houses over 158,000 items and nearly 1,400 people pass through its doors every day. “Strong leadership by the presidents and members of the Martin Library Association has been an integral part of the library’s success,” reflects Martin Library CEO Bill Schell. “It is during this 75th year that we want to take time to recognize the many dedicated individuals who have helped our library to grow and flourish through their dedicated work.”

The following individuals served as president of the Martin Library Association Board of Directors:

1916-1940 John E. Baker1941-1943 Vincent Keesey1944-1967 George Whiteley1968-1971 William H.

Eagle Scout Projects Enhance Library in Adams County By Wilma Kreps

New Oxford – Thomas Downing and his family have been members of the Friends of the New Oxford Area Library since the library opened its doors in 1983. Tommy is a graphic artist who loves to read. In planning for the renovation of the library, I knew we would have a large empty wall in the children’s area. When Tommy asked what he could do for the library for his Eagle Scout project, I had an idea ready. A three-part mural designed by Tommy would be a great focal point for this area.

This mural was designed by Tommy, painted with his scout troop, and you will notice some signatures on a log on the right-hand corner -- these are some of his helpers from Boy Scout Troop 85.

When you stop at the circulation desk for assistance, your eyes immediately go up to the back wall of the children’s area and this wonderful artwork. Tommy painted it in 1999, and we hung it in the children’s area with the Grand Reopening in October 2000.

Jackson is a young man I have known

since he and his two brothers were very young and would come to story times with their father. Jackson and his family have been active readers, and it has been a pleasure to see how the boys have grown up the last ten years. He came to the desk and mentioned he was going to the Borough of New Oxford Council

meeting to present plans for a reading area for the library. I told him we had always hoped to put a bench out under the trees that the Friends of the New Oxford Area Library had planted in the front of the Borough building. Jackson’s idea was so much better: two benches on a brick patio, with a pergola and some bushes and flowers. Eagle Scouts also ask local businesses for donations to assist in their projects.

This library, at 122 North Peter Street, New Oxford, has always had Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts working with us or joining us for programs since it began. I have had sleepovers in the library and computer classes with several Girl Scout Troops. I have had Boy Scouts participate in game nights as well as assisting the Friends in the Yard Sale activities at the New Oxford Social and Athletic Club Pavilion in New Oxford. These two Eagle Scouts have had an important visible impact with our patrons and the community. Patrons praise the new reading area and salute the New Oxford Borough Council for approving this project. Call 717-624-2182 for further information on New Oxford Area Library activities and programs or go to www.adamslibrary.org/noal/.

The Eagle Scout program produced this cheerful mural inside the library.

This seating area is a gift from the Eagle Scout program.

Fredricksen Library Invites You to Solve a Murder Mystery on Two Nights this October

Murder is in the air in Camp Hill, Cumberland County. Fredricksen Library is presenting the Monster Mash Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre on two days in October: Wednesday, October 13 and Saturday, October 16.

“Curtain time” is 6:30 p.m. for each performance and you are invited to come along with a friend that you like, or don’t like – it doesn’t matter as the plot thickens and guests become engaged.

Grimoth Jones, President of the International Monster Association, invites you – if you’re older than

17 years -- to the Annual Monster Summit coinciding with these parties and strongly suggests you prepare to discuss IMA’s plans for haunts, frights, and scares in the year to come. Mr. Jones has an important announcement to make to all those “monsters” attending. But will this activity renew some built-up hostilities among the monsters? What will the monsters be wearing and what will be they be saying that we can understand? Will a delicious dinner be overshadowed by these miscreant monsters?

Jones promises there will be tremendously talented actors from several local theatres who will be hamming it up in this real-time Whodunit. Can YOU figure out “Whodunit” before the evening ends? Prizes will be given out, as appropriate, and monster costumes are encouraged! Dinner will be provided by Two Gals Catering and it’s a. BYOB event. Tickets are $45 per person. For more information call the Cleve J. Fredricksen Library at 761-3900 x 234 and visit the library’s web site fredricksenlibrary.org.

I am so happy now that we have announced the selection of the 2010 One Book title. As the book launch news conference drew near in late August, it became harder for me to keep mum about the title chosen. Since January, I have been working on the regional steering committee that plans and promotes the project.

Now I can talk about the book and share how I came to enjoy The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Since I am in my car a lot as I now work at three library locations, I first checked out the audio book. The reader spoke with a German accent and I immediately felt like I was transported to Germany in the early days of World War II. But it really isn’t a war story – it’s more of a family story - about good people who are caught in a very bad situation. Nazi Germany was not full of Nazi sympathizers and I never realized that until I read this fictional tale that represents the story of brave people who saw their neighbors lose everything -- their jobs, their homes, and then their very existence. Some had friends, neighbors or relatives that were brave enough to help those in trouble.

The book is narrated by Death, a strange concept for me to grasp until I found that Death, as presented by the author, was not morbid but actually very sympathetic and cared deeply for the souls that he gathered. The author weaves this character throughout the book as if he were the narrator of a documentary.

When I finished listening to the audio book, I shared some of my thoughts with another librarian and she said, “…but if you only listen to the book, you can’t see the pictures”. So next I checked out the book and I agree that it is important to see the hand-drawn pictures that were created by Max, the Jew hidden in the basement by the Huberman family. That’s enough. I don’t want to tell you anymore until you have read the book. There will be plenty of time for book talks and other related programs later.

SpONSORS mAKe it All pOSSibleI need to emphasize the importance

of our dedicated sponsors to this

regional project. Many have supported One Book, One Community since its inception in 2004. WGAL TV 8 and its on-air personality, Anne Shannon, who graciously serves as our spokesperson, create a public service announcement each year. The PSA runs throughout September and October. John Baldwin, Creative Services Director, is always on hand to make sure that everything runs smoothly during the book announcement each year. The WGAL web site also links to the One Book website at OBOC.org.

Wade Fowler is chairman of the Robert H. & Beverly Utley Fowler Foundation. Wade’s mother, Beverly, has been a contributing member of the One Book selection committee for many years. It was heartwarming to read Wade’s comments that accompanied the Foundation’s check this year. In part, it said, “the premise of the program, engaging readers in Central Pennsylvania in thoughtful reflection on literature, continues to garner our admiration and support.” It makes all the hard work worthwhile to know that a contributor believes in what you are trying to accomplish.

Joe Murphy from Harrisburg News Company is a man with a vast knowledge of the book industry. It’s his business and he facilitates our libraries to acquire the books and receive a co-op back from the

publisher that helps us to continue One Book projects. Additionally, Joe serves on both the selection committee and the regional steering committee when time allows. Each year, he distributes our chosen title to many diverse outlets, including GIANT Food Stores, Weis Markets, and Wegman’s. You may also pick up a copy at one of several airport book stores. And they all come with our One Book sticker on the front. How cool is that? We are almost everywhere.

eNCOuRAGemeNt iS eveRyWHeRe

Joe also encouraged us by relating a conversation he had with GIANT Food Stores as he asked the company to come on board as a major sponsor in 2009. We are grateful for GIANT’s continued commitment to our adult reading campaign. Books are available in 50 GIANT locations throughout Central Pennsylvania.

Isaac’s Restaurant and Deli is the sweetest sponsor that we have. Isaac’s provides refreshments at the book announcement news conference – including delicious sliders, side salads, pickles, and Utz’s natural chips… and then to top it off they offer their delicious brownies and cookies. If you missed the brownies at the kick-off, you have another opportunity to taste one by visiting an area Isaac’s location. In fact,

on September 9, all 20 Isaac’s locations will offer a community night fundraiser to support One Book, One Community. Additionally, Isaac’s provides a buy- one- get- one-free coupon that can be used anytime throughout the reading campaign. Why not plan a meal out and meet at your local Isaac’s? Special thanks to Johnny Roberts for coordinating the One Book presence in each of the Isaac’s locations and for bringing our new friend, Filbert, our favorite flamingo, to the Book Launch.

Linda Shorey should be a librarian in another lifetime. She works for K & L Gates, a Harrisburg legal firm, in the daytime but as a valued member of the selection committee, she reads every book that is considered for inclusion in the One Book initiative. We are grateful for Linda’s dedication and thank K & L Gates for supporting both Linda and the One Book effort.

Glatfelter, a local paper company, makes paper for books. When the company first became a sponsor in 2005, I hoped that the book we chose was printed on Glatfelter paper. It was not, but the company’s mission included serving adults, as well as their employees, in a community-wide literacy project. Glatfelter provides 100 outreach copies of the book that are distributed to community partners in each of our counties.

ShOwCASeNOw! – A lOyAl SuppORteR

ShowcaseNow! magazine is a firm supporter of One Book and our libraries in many ways. The four page insert included in this issue is our program guide. It is the official print piece where we share information about the book and the author, about the One Book initiative, and where to find related programs throughout our nine counties. So take the insert with you, or the entire issue, and come on out and enjoy the programming.

We offer special thanks to publisher Georg Sheets for including library stories in ShowcaseNow! all year long. Georg wears many hats; he’s a full-time employee of Martin Library in charge of the Planned Giving effort and he is a writer with a natural love of libraries in all shapes and sizes. Kelly Summerford, the Chief Operating Manager for ShowcaseNow! also wears many hats: city councilman, consultant with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and a member of the Pennsylvania Past Players, among them. They are responsible for giving me this venue to write about library activities in small, rural libraries as well as the more visible, busy locations. We all turn to ShowcaseNow! to know what’s happening and to make choices of what to see and do – when we’re not working on the One Book program or some other library project!

Finally, we are grateful to our library leaders for the opportunity to devote the staff time necessary to create and plan the One Book, One Community Program. Thanks to one and all! See you soon at a book talk!
