Nominations sought to recognize workers with disabilities and workplaces that support them

Nominations are due Aug. 20 for awards that recognize workers with disabilities and workplaces that support them. The Lancaster County Employment Coalition and The Arc Lancaster Lebanon are running the awards to highlight National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October. “We do this so that individuals with disabilities feel a sense of pride,” said Maureen Westcott, executive director of The Arc Lancaster Lebanon and co-chair of the Lancaster County Employment Coalition. “Also, so they know the community recognizes them, not because of the disability but because of what they give to the community.” Anyone can nominate a worker or workplace by filling out the nomination form at www.thearclancleb.org.

Opposes site for new prison [letter]

The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners’ planning is sometimes stellar, as is evidenced in the support of the Enola Low Grade Trail, the Susquehanna River Trail and the Public Safety Training Center. What is lacking in their vision, in my view, is the proposed location of a new Lancaster County prison. There is no doubt there is a need for a new prison and, as some have expressed, Lancaster city will reap the benefits of redevelopment at the current site of the county prison. What I believe is at odds with good planning principles is to take an undeveloped property — currently used for farming — that is surrounded by water on three sides and turn it into a prison site.
