LIONS DONATE PORTA-POTTY. For those who still love to walk, run or just visit the beach in the off-season, the York Lions Club is making sure there's a place to "go" during those hours enjoying York's ocean views. Pictured are Lions Fred Wandland and Donna Miller in front of a new "porta-potty" bring provided at the Long Sands bathhouse by the York Lions Club. The restrooms at the beach are closed in the off-season, and the Lions have provided this as an option for those who look forward to wintry walks along Long Beach.
