Two hours later, it was back on.
Pfeiffer, whose daughter is a senior at Ephrata High School, had an inkling the cancellation announcement would come, as social gathering restrictions associated with COVID-19 have made it difficult for schools to plan a traditional prom. So, with the schoolâs blessing, she quickly finalized a reservation she had made at Clipper Magazine Stadium, home to the Lancaster Barnstormers baseball team and a popular destination for outdoor events during the COVID-19 pandemic, a month before.
Since then, the 45-year-old mother of four and a group of Ephrata parents have planned their own prom, following health and safety guidelines like wearing masks and social distancing when eating, with the school pitching in to sell tickets.

THE ISSUE
In the Sunday LNP | LancasterOnline âWatchdogâ column, reporter Carter Walker wrote about a Lancaster County constableâs private business, started at the beginning of the pandemic, which âhas won most, if not all, of the lucrative no-bid contracts to provide security to facilities related to COVID-19, paid for with public funds.â Lancaster Countyâs 55 constables â elected officials who often serve low-level warrants and transport prisoners for the district courts â are paid per job, Walker reported.
And we can appreciate the initiative of Michael Chance, a constable from Strasburg, who says he launched his company, Constable Peace Keeping Detail LLC, to help fellow constables who were without regular work during the pandemic.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, the Lancaster County courts closed their doors.
That was a blow to the countyâs 55 constables â elected officials who often serve low-level warrants and transport prisoners for the district courts and are paid per job â were out of work.
A year later, one local constable s private business, which he started at the beginning of the pandemic, has won most, if not all, of the lucrative no-bid contracts to provide security to COVID-19-related facilities, paid for with public funds.
Michael Chance, a constable from Strasburg, personally stands to earn somewhere between $51,000 and $90,000 from the roughly $1 million in contracts obtained by his company, Constable Peace Keeping Detail LLC. Whatâs less clear is whether his clients were aware they were contracting with an individualâs company, not the association representing all constables in the county.
