Articles in the Jan. 26, 2012, issue of The Elizabethtown Advocate include:
- Michael Gary woke up in the predawn hours of Friday, Jan. 20. He saw that one of the household pets, a pit bull terrier named Angel, was eager to get outside. He and Chris Zerbe, who share a home in Mount Joy Township, quickly noticed something out of the ordinary. There was smoke in the air. A lot of smoke. They realized their neighbors' house was on fire. They went over to try to wake their neighbors, but were unable to do so. They didn't have their cell phones with them, so Gary ran back to their home to call 911. Northwest Regional Lancaster County Police Officer Charles A. Tobias responded and manged to get Sam Hoffman; his wife, Carolyn, and their daughter, Crystal, out of the house.

Articles in the Jan. 19, 2012, issue of The Elizabethtown Advocate include:
- A state-mandated improvement to the dam holding back Lake Placida on the Elizabethtown College campus will mean closing College Avenue by the lake for about three weeks this summer.
- Mount Joy Township has gotten surveyors to determine where the property line is between land dedicated for its newest park and land owned by the park's neighbors, township Administrator Steve Gault said. Once the survey was complete, it was clear that township-owned land for Old Trolley Line Park has debris dumped on it including old tires, old chairs and scrap metal, Gault said.

Articles in the Jan. 12, 2012, issue of The Elizabethtown Advocate include:
- Michele Balliet, who has been carrying out the duties of superintendent of the Elizabethtown Area School District since August, now has the job officially. The unanimous vote on Tuesday, Jan. 10, came as no surprise, since the school board had announced in September that it intended to offer Balliet the job permanently. Between then and January, negotiations took place for an employment contract.
- You can't tell the street names without a program in Elizabethtown. The Borough Council voted unanimously on Thursday, Jan. 5, to change West Bainbridge Street's name to Union Street and West College Avenue's name to West Bainbridge Street. What had been Union Alley is changing to West Verdant Alley. Also, what had been known as Verdant Alley will now be East Verdant Alley. Councilors said they were making the changes because once a bridge over the Conoy Creek is completed on what had been College Avenue, the old Bainbridge Street bridge will close and Bainbridge Street would no longer go to the village of Bainbridge if no changes were made.

Articles in the Dec. 29, 2011, issue of The Elizabethtown Advocate include:
- The renovation of East High Street Elementary School means that many children will have a new classroom when they return from winter break – but that is the only move they are making this school year, Superintendent Michele Balliet said. “They're moving once at break. That's it. … The big rumor had been that the kids were going to move four or five times,” Balliet said. The renovation work is proceeding on schedule, Balliet and Principal Randall B. Fox said. It will be completed by the end of this school year, they said.
- The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence for a man convicted of first-degree murder for the 2007 shooting death of businessman Ray Diener outside his West Donegal Township home. Abraham Sanchez Jr., now 23, was 18 at the time of the May 2007 killing. Sanchez's lawyer said he would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
