On March 1, 2008 my father in law, whom has dementia, wandered off into the woods around 1 a.m. To my family's dismay he had been out in the cold in excess of seven hours and all resources had been exhausted.
Then a ray of hope from Lancaster County called Summit Search and Rescue brought with them a female bloodhound who found my father-in-law in a matter of minutes. She really was the hero of the day!
With that being said I am very happy to hear that York County has a new addition to the force named Lou.I hope this little puppy fairs well on all searches for young and old alike. On behalf of the Mitzel family we would like to thank everyone involved in the successful rescue of my father-in-law.

Wednesday morning my wife and I were awakened by a house full of smoke as well as the noise of the smoke detectors. We called 911 and reported the problem. By the time we opened the front and back doors we could hear the W. Manchester fire trucks in the distance.
Immediately a police car pulled up accompanied by several fire trucks. Before we knew it, they entered the house and traced the source of the smoke to the basement. Our furnace which had been serviced the day before had malfunctioned. The volunteer crew promptly ventilated the house checking it thoroughly for any other source of smoke. This all occurred at approximately 5:30 a.m.
Both my wife and I were pleased with the quick response and the many courtesies shown us by Chief Nichols and his crew.. We were very impressed and remain thankful that these fine gentlemen, all volunteers, are available to protect the safety of our township.
As it turned out the lining of the fire box had deteriorated obstructing the fuel spray pattern causing the problem. We were reminded that an annual checkup, smoke detectors, and fresh batteries for them are a MUST.

Five years ago, after going through months of angina, and facing yet another cardiac catheterization, my family doctor and cardiologist agreed there was an alternative, noninvasive procedure available. Having been informed that additional heart surgery, of any kind, was not in my best interest, this option sounded good to me. The procedure, labeled EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) was, and still is offered at Apple Hill Medical Center. The process takes one hour per day, five days per week for seven weeks. I finished this procedure and followed it with 12 weeks in Cardiac Rehabilitation, again at Apple Hill. After just a few days of EECP, the angina was gone and has not returned.

Our moving clients boxed unwanted items while getting ready for their move and mark them for donation. After their move was complete our employees would take the donated clothing and household items to Goodwill and food to the York Food Bank.

As the Founder and Executive Director of Olivia’s House, I would like to take a moment to thank the York community for their wonderful support in 2007. Although we face challenges daily as we continue to provide services to grieving families, I am proud to say we have had a remarkable year! Over 150 children and their families gained support from the educational programs offered after the death of their loved one. We have had countless families served through the lending library at Olivia’s House. In an effort to support schools, our educational in-service programs reached out across the county.

I would like to thank the local radio stations Warm 103.3, WROZ 101.3 and WJTL 90.3 Christian radio for turning their stations into Christmas stations, broadcasting Christmas music every day during the holidays.
This has certainly brought a lot of joy to me and many others who enjoy Christmas music. Whenever I am baking, cleaning, or whatever I am doing, it puts me into the Christmas spirit. With sincere thanks.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to the residents of East King Street who helped me during one of the most terrifying incidents I have ever encountered. On Tuesday, Sept. 18, my beloved dog, Malcolm, was violently attacked by a pitbull while we were enjoying our morning walk. The wandering pitbull came out of nowhere and starting mauling Malcolm. I froze with fear. I started screaming for someone to help me.
Suddenly, people were surrounding me to offer assistance. Unfortunately, I did not get their names. However, I would like to personally thank the two gentlemen who freed the pitbull from Malcolm, the woman who ushered Malcolm behind a fenced yard to keep him safe, and the young ladies who called police and helped comfort me. Words cannot express my sincere gratitude I have for all of you. Each of you will forever hold a special place in my heart as you helped me during my time of need. But, most importantly, you have helped restore my belief in human compassion. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
