____Estrada recently appeared at a program at Bethel Assembly of God, Littlestown, as part of a promotional tour for the movie, “Finding Faith.” More than 300 people attended the free event, which also included a showing of the film.
____Estrada portrays Sheriff Michael Brown of Bedford County in the movie based on the real-life abduction of a rural Virginia teen, who was later rescued in Pittsburgh, Pa. Sheriff Brown, who co-produced the movie, shared his experiences with the producers about working with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, known as ICAC, which he helped found in 1998.

____PickleFest’s organizers are promising this year’s fair to be “bigger and better.” The festivities are being coordinated by the Dillsburg Borough and a committee of local business leaders and prior PickleFest organizers. Al Kauffman, owner of MANEtenance Barber Styling and one of the members of this committee, says that an eventual goal is to make the committee the permanent overseers of the PickleFest and the New Year’s Eve Pickle Drop, similar to the committee in charge of Farmers Fair.

____ The Northern High School held an assembly "Distracted Driving" on Friday, April 26. The timing could not have been better since the prom is right around the corner. Tim Colgan, Colgan and Associates of Dillsburg, introduced the guest speaker Chris Marzzacco, Anapol Schwartz of Harrisburg, Attorneys at Law. April has been set aside to educate teenage drivers on the different types of distractions while driving a car. Marzzacco spoke of the Casey Feldman Foundation. "Casey Feldman was killed by a distracted driver at a crosswalk on July 17, 2009. She was only twenty-one and a senior at Fordham University. She had a promising future before her life was cut short," said Marzzacco. The Casey Feldman Foundation educates drivers and passengers, especially teenagers to look out for distractions and have better driving habits.
