THE ISSUE: Itâs Monday, the day we take a few moments to highlight the good news in Lancaster County. Some of these items are welcome developments on the economic front or for neighborhoods across the county. Others are local stories of achievement, perseverance, compassion and creativity that represent welcome points of light in a still-difficult time. All of this news deserves a brighter spotlight.
We have another dandy batch of âGood Thingsâ to amplify today, and it starts with an inspirational story from a gnome-stead â err, homestead â in southeastern Lancaster County.
Richard Humphreys, a 78-year-old who runs the beloved Gnome Countryside nature trail in Kirkwood, is preparing to walk 380 miles to Ohio in order to âraise awareness about Type 1 diabetes and honor the 100th anniversary of insulinâs use as a treatment,â Mike Andrelczyk reported in the May 2 Sunday LNP | LancasterOnline.
