ne day in May, Steve Hulse was having breakfast when his phone dinged. T he Bainbridge man glanced at the message and showed it to his wife, Cindy, asking her, “Does this say what I think it says?” She confirmed that yes, indeed, Hulse and his grandson James Thompson had won an award for a Maytown Historical Society video they created. Hulse served as editor, with Thompson as producer/director of photography for the video, which highlighted the society’s history and impact. The video earned a Silver Award in the Non-Broadcast Not-for-Profit category of the 47th annual Telly Awards, which honor excellence in video and television and are judged by leaders in the industry. The pair joins other winners in this year’s competition, which

Stauffers of Kissel Hill is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members.
In the area of equal rights, our country has made great strides. But the process continues; there is still much work to be done. The brand-new Stevens & Smith Center sheds a wider, more colorful light on the issues of equality. “ T he center explores the ongoing struggle to expand freedom, equality and democracy in
America,” said Jason Traverse, the director of marketing and communications for the Stevens & Smith Center. “Through the stories of Stevens, Smith and countless others, visitors are invited to consider how ordinary and extraordinary people alike have worked to advance these ideals, and how that work continues in America today. “ W hat makes the center special is that it doesn’t simply Visitors take in an exhibit at the

Anne Hendricks, outreach coordinator with All 4 Paws Rescue, a nonprofit, fosterbased, all-breed organization located in Malvern, is familiar with the most common excuse potential pet foster parents give. “They all say, ‘I could never foster because I would want to adopt them all,’” noted Hendricks, who has fostered more than 100 dogs over nine years. “We have all foster-failed at least once,” she added, referring to a foster dog she knew she would be keeping within the first 24 hours of fostering her. According to Kisha Reinmiller, site director for Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center, many who foster do become adoptive pet parents. “ We are always recruiting new fosters,” she shared. “A lot of them adopt for the first time.” Both organizations reported that becoming a foster parent for an animal is not complicated. The Lancaster Center application can be found online at www.pspca .org, and the All 4 Paws application is at www.all4pawsrescue .com. Representatives of both organizations noted that the foster application is similar to the adoption application. “We process (the applications), and then we reach out,” said Reinmiller. Hendricks pointed out that for potential fosters who already have pets, contacting the applicant’s vet is a crucial step. “We talk to the vet to be sure (the applicant’s) pets have been well taken care of,” she stated.
