he Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation is turning to a pair of familiar faces for its celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Charlie Zahm and Tad Marks will join together to perform “The Liberty Tree: The Music That Forged a Nation” on Sunday, July 12, at 6 p.m. at Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church, 1199 Valley Road, Quarryville. Zahm and Marks have long been mainstays of the Covenanter Scottish Festival and Highland Games, performing at every iteration of the festival, expect for 2014, when they were out of the country. “He is just such a wonderful storyteller,” event co-chair John Girvin said of Zahm. “He has a background in history and degree in history, so he researches everything that he does.” The event will celebrate 250 years of American freedom with songs and stories of the days gone by, organizers said. There will be a price for general admission; children 12 and under will get in free. Attendees have the option of adding a donation to the Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation. Girvin said that the event was intentionally scheduled as close to the Fourth of July as possible. “We feel like this program honors the United States, celebrating their 250th, but also highlights the birth of

BY ANN MEAD ASH
Even after 90 years, the Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA) is as strong as ever. The LCAA, the oldest art association in Lancaster County, celebrated its 90th birthday at its annual banquet at the DoubleTree Resort in Lancaster in May. The banquet’s keynote speaker was artist Richard Ressel, who shared many of his memories from over the years. He also honored Ken Hoak, an LCAA member since 1950, for his longtime service. “(Richard) gave a wonderful view, just the little tidbits that he knew from the art association, things See LCAA pg 5

Fostering Pets a Chance to Be Part of the Journey 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.

Once an applicant is approved, the organization will want to learn the type of animal the foster parent would like to take in. “A lot of folks have preferences, whether it’s a large or small dog , a cat, or kittens,” stated Reinmiller. Other questions may reference lifestyle and family size, such as whether the home is high traffic. At All 4 Paws, foster coordinator Melissa Kuchinski will contact the approved applicant to discuss the age and size of a possible foster dog and to learn whether small children or cats are present in the home. “We try to place (animals that) we think would work in that home,” explained Hendricks. Special attention is given to place animals with medical issues with more experienced foster caregivers, since these animals usually remain in foster care longer than the typical stay, which can range from a day or two to several months. Meeting the animal that will be fostered is treated much like an adoption meeting at the Lancaster Center. If the meeting goes well, the foster care provider will receive crates, toys, food, and treats, and any necessary medical care will be covered. “ T he fosters are not out-of-pocket for anything (at All 4 Paws),” explained Hendricks. “We give them the white glove treatment,” she added, noting that the organization depends on donations to make that possible. Fosters also receive a list of rules that include instructions such as keeping a leash on the dog at all times. “Rescue dogs are a huge flight risk,” noted Hendr icks. “It ’s easier and safer to grab a leash than a dog.” Training for dogs and foster parents can also be part of the mix. “We have training partners who work with us,” shared Hendricks, who recalled a dog she fostered who did not like to meet new people. “A training partner met with us for an hour and gave me hints, and (that dog is) now in a wonderful home,” she shared. At the Lancaster Center, foster parents are given direct access to SPCA staff members even after hours. “We can counsel, provide handouts, or talk on the

phone about what to do with c e r t a i n b e h av iors,” explained Reinmiller, who re aches o u t to fosters weekly to see how things are going. A c c o rd i n g t o Reinmiller, foster parents are a great source of information about the pet and provide photos and videos that help Anne Hendricks, outreach coordinator in the adoption with All 4 Paws, with Bear, one of dogs she has fostered in the last process. “We are a many decade municipal shelter contracted with local police to take strays,” explained Reinmiller, who noted that each dog is assessed at the center. “Foster homes are really helpful for us to get home knowledge for the dogs in our care … especially with dogs that are a little shy or have behavioral Bear concerns or need medical more on the animal being care.” Hendricks agreed, noting, fostered. Both organizations accept “We can make a good match (for an adoptive home) cats as well. “For the most using the information about part (with) cats, it’s mostly the (pet provided by foster kitten fostering,” said Reinmiller. “It’s socializing and parents).” Finding foster homes housing until they are old with volunteers who have enough to come to the shelhad pets but do not have ter for adoption.” Kittens any at the moment is espe- must be eight weeks old or cially helpful because those weigh two pounds to stay at foster parents have experi- the shelter.

Driving a country road for just a few miles north of Old Philadelphia Pike, one turns a bend at Peters Road … and suddenly comes upon the close-knit village of Springville. This hamlet has grown little since David Cowen bought 311 acres of land from the Penn brothers in 1735. By 1851, more than 100 years later, there were still only seven homes ne at l y l i ne d u p a l o n g Springville Road. However, farms along Peters Road picked up their mail at the store’s post office. Hidden among the farm

don his dream and flee. By mid-19th century, Quakers had taken over. Cambridge had grown enough to support a Quaker Meeting, a Methodist church, a oneroom public school, two stores, a blacksmith and wheelwright, a carpenter, butcher and shoemaker shop. Also, a literary society and a brass band. The old stonewall-enclosed Quaker cemetery is a distinctive landmark on the village’s eastern edges. By 2002, business was brisk in the deli and the auto-repair shop, and the mill remained active. The Methodist church’s seats were filled most Sundays. Houses nestled on most Cambridge lots, forming a tight and friendly neighborhood. 25 years later the mill is still open, there is a Methodist church nearby and surrounding prosperous farms operate small businesses.

Submitted by Leona Baker for the Historical Society of Salisbury Township In 1734, James Hughes received a deed to 212 acres of land in the northeastern edge of what later became Salisbury Township. Over time, others discovered the advantages of these broad Welsh Mountain foothills. Many purchased 200-acre tracts to produce abundant sought-after crops. Mills for the goods others produced took advantage of the Pequea Creek. The busy millers had no need to name their village, “I am going to the mill” was enough. A brah a m a nd Na nc y Dierdorf arrived in 1802, with high hopes of building a new county, making a section of their land the county seat, naming it “Cambridge,” after the English university town. When a recession struck in 1818, Dierdorf had to aban-

attendees will have the opportunity to step back into the stirring soundscape of early America w i th an unfor ge tta ble concert celebrating the songs of liberty that inspired a young nation. Girvin suggested “Yankee Doodle,” “Chester ” and “ T he Liber ty Song ” as tunes that will reverberate at the church on the night of the event. “Whatever presentation (Zahm has) done, his garb is just amazing,” Girvin said. “I just can’t say enough about the fact that he is all over the East Coast, too. If you see his schedule, he goes up and down the coast at different Celtic events and festivals.”
Marks formerly played with the Del McCour y Band, a Grammy-winning bluegrass band. Zahm also performs as a solo act; he will undergo a tour to Wales next spring. Ahead of the show, from 5 to 5:45 p.m., the historic church will be open to tour. The church is the oldest Covenanter church in North America, dating back to 1754. The schoolroom, a Presby terian Academy, was added to the facility in 1871 and housed Bart Township High School from 1903 to 1927. Middle Octorara Presbyterian will celebrate its 300th anniversar y next year. Refreshments will be ser ved following the
concert; there is also an ice cream social in the works. Tickets can be purchased online. To do so, visit the “Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation” on Facebook. The Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation is a charitable and educational nonprofit organization that maintains the Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Church and its attached schoolroom as a historical site. The museum displays artifacts from the Covenanter Congregation, the Middle Octorara Congregation, Bart High School and Bart Township. The desks from the Bart High School era are carved with vintage emblems.
At All 4 Paws Rescue, both rescues and owner surrenders that are not immediately adopted go to foster homes the same day. “We like the foster care system because it gives the
(pet) a home as opposed to a kennel,” said Hendricks. “It’s about whether we have a foster home (available) that will work,” she added, pointing out that foster homes are always
needed. Reflecting on her own experience fostering, Hendricks stated that she has reaped many benefits. “It’s wonderful to be part of a dog’s journey,” she said.

LCAA from pg 1 said. “It’s a place, probably one of the few places where nonprofessional artists can mingle with professional artists and have their work displayed and shown. ... It’s a real nice venue for them to be able to exhibit their work, and then it just encourages them to paint more and to do more things.” The anniversary is also a time of change for the association. At the banquet, president Carol Dale stepped down from her position. She was the longest serving president in LCAA history, guiding it through a period of uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic. Dale introduced new president Amelia Abrams at the banquet. “She’s done a wonderful job,” Keller said of Dale. “We’re very pleased that we have someone that’s ver y qualified to take over her place. It’s a big responsibility.” Throughout the year, the LCAA offers classes in drawing , watercolor, pottery, jewelry making, sketching and pastels. The classes, geared toward both children and adults, are offere d at var ious times of the day and days of the week , leaving a window for everybody to participate. The association’s mem-

and memories that would be meaningful to members,” said Patricia Keller of Landisville, a 40-year LCAA member who handles the association’s publicity and advertising. Formed in 1936 by Mary Black Diller and Grace Steinmetz, the LC AA began house tours around the county in 1949, with proceeds earmarked for a per manent location. That would come in 1954, when the association moved into 22 E . Vine St., Lancaster, a building that once belonged to the plumbers’ union. The Vine Street location would serve as the association’s home for more than 30 years until 1998, when it moved to its present location of 149 Precision Av e . , S t ra s b u r g . T h a t building consists of multiple galleries, a board room, a classroom and a pottery room. Today, the LCAA rosters 245 members who come from all over the area, not just L ancaster County. Within those members are professional artists who make a living off their craft, as well as amateurs who are just getting into art. “It’s amazing the number of people we have from Marietta, up in Ephrata, down in Quarryville, even from Chester County,” Keller

Animal Hospital to Move
Pine Creek Animal Hospital has announced that its Gap location will relocate to a new space this August. The hospital will move from its current location at 150 Pine Creek Drive in Gap to its new home at 381 Route 41, Gap. The change aims to allow the team to continue growing while providing veterinary care to pets and families throughout Lancaster County, Chester County, and beyond. The new location has been planned to create a more comfortable and efficient experience for patients, clients, and team members. With additional space and an improved layout, Pine Creek Animal Hospital will be better equipped to support wellness visits, sick appointments, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, multi-species care, and other veterinary services. While the building may be changing, the heart of Pine Creek will remain the same. Clients can expect to see the same faces and receive the same personalized care. Pine Creek Animal Hospital will share additional details with clients as the move approaches, including the official opening date, parking information, and any updates related to appointments, medication refills, and food pickup. For updates, clients may follow Pine Creek Animal Hospital on social media or visit www.pinecreekah.com.

leaders esta blishe d a school in 1813. With no records to disagree, it can be posited that this was the second oldest school in Salisbury Township, the first being in Gap. A mill, a store with a post office inside, and undoubtedly a blacksmith shop would also have been part of the village. Outlying farms would have called the hamlet their “town.” Today roadside stands seem to dominate the business side of this quiet hamlet.
