School Supply Drive To Benefit Local Students By Chelsea Peifer
GUEST SPEAKER
Almost as quickly as the school year ends, summer always seems to race to a finish, and the preparations for a new school year begin. To help ensure that children in Columbia Borough are ready, Columbia Life Network is once again hosting its annual school supply drive to collect items for students of the Columbia Borough School District and Our Lady of the Angels Catholic School. Items requested include new backpacks, pencils, pens, crayons, rulers, scissors, binders, notebooks, glue sticks, and more. Several opportunities for the community to donate school supplies to the effort are planned. The first will be at several local retail stores on Saturday, Aug. 4, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Once the list of locations is finalized, it will be posted at www.facebook.com/columbialifenetwork/.
Another opportunity to drop off donations will be at the popular “Jail ‘N’ Bail” event during the Columbia Borough Police Department’s National Night Out from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 7, at Glatfelter Field, 1249 Lancaster Ave., Columbia. Throughout the evening, donors will receive tickets that can be used to help their favorite local celebrity get out of the makeshift “jail.” Celebrities will include teachers and administrators from Columbia Borough School District and Our Lady of the Angels, Columbia Mayor Leo Lutz, Columbia Borough Police Chief Jack Brommer, Ray McCarty of the Columbia Boys Athletic Association, and Columbia Public Library staff members. School supplies may also be dropped off at Columbia Life Network, 336 Locust St., Columbia, between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon on Mondays through Fridays. Monetary donations See School Supplies pg 7

An Unforgettable Summer Fresh Air Fund Children Arrive In Lancaster By Chelsea Peifer
For many local residents, like the Horst family of Elizabethtown, hosting a child through the Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns program is a highly
anticipated part of every summer. The Horsts have welcomed Lulu, an 11-year-old from New York City, into their home for a week or more each summer since 2014 and were eager to see her as she arrived at the Junction Center in Manheim on July 2 along with 34 other children and teenagers being hosted by Lancaster- and See Fresh Air Fund pg 2
Proceeds from the annual FoodStock Music Festival on July 28 at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in Manheim will benefit Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services (CVCCS), as well as Water Street Mission, the Manheim Central Food Pantry, and other local food banks and pantries. By Chelsea Peifer
Telling others about why the FoodStock Music Festival raises funds to support area organizations that are working toward eliminating hunger is
easy for Tom Hayden. As one of FoodStock’s three founders, Hayden said that he became passionate about fighting hunger 26 years ago, when the postal service held its first Stamp Out Hunger food drive. As a postal service See FoodStock pg 4
Thirty-five children and teenagers from New York City arrived by bus at the Junction Center in Manheim on July 2 as part of the Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program and were greeted by excited host families from throughout the Lancaster and Lebanon area.

Lebanon-area families. “It’s great to have Lulu return again and again and develop a close relationship with her,” said Juanita Horst. The Fresh Air Fund is a notfor-profit agency that connects thousands of children from lowincome families in New York City with host families in rural, suburban, and small-town communities along the East Coast and southern Canada. Youths ages 7 to 18 stay free of charge for one or two weeks of fun and relaxation with a host family. Bus drop-offs occur several times throughout the summer in various locations. Juanita’s daughter, Larisa, said that having another girl in the house is one of her favorite parts of Lulu’s summer stays. In past years, the Horsts took Lulu along to visit a local amusement park in Hershey and Camp
Hebron in Halifax to try new activities such as horseback riding and archery. At home, the family loves to spend as much time as possible outside, including evenings spent roasting marshmallows over the fire pit and setting up tents to camp out overnight. Exploring the family garden is another simple pleasure for Lulu, and last summer the Horsts sent corn back with her to New York so that she could share fresh corn on the cob with her own family. “It’s fun to see the kids’ excitement as they pick fresh tomatoes, peppers, and corn,” Juanita remarked. When it comes to being inside, art projects are a popular way to pass the time, whether working on airplane and car models or creating plush toys and hair accessories. Simply spending time together

The Manheim Lions Club has opened registration for the fourth annual Manheim Santa Run and Walk 5K, to be held on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 8:30 a.m. The event provides a time for family and friends to get together and share in the holiday spirit as they dress in Santa suits and run or walk through the Manheim streets. To kick off the event, the club will offer a “Christmas in July” special. Those who register between Sunday, July 22, and Saturday, July 28, will receive a
is what the Ross family of Palmyra most enjoys about hosting a Fresh Air Fund child. This summer, the family of six children - ranging from age 8 to 14 reunited with 14-year-old Shirley, who has been visiting through the Fresh Air Fund since she was 7. “She kind of fits right in, and it mixes things up a little bit,” said Doug Ross, noting that his children welcome the experience. “It’s a good experience for your children to be introduced to people of other cultures and regions.” The first year that Shirley visited, Doug said that they traveled a lot, making trips to Delaware beaches and to see wild animals at Lake Tobias in Halifax and so forth. “We kind of killed ourselves entertaining her, but at the end of the time her favorite thing was just going to the community pool,” Doug recalled. Now they aim to make things special
right at home, with things like cookouts and campfires. The Rosses have chickens, dogs, and cats - a switch from Shirley’s home in New York City with her grandma - and much like the Horsts, the Rosses like to maximize their time outdoors. Area readers who would like to host a child next summer may contact the Lancaster County Fresh Air Fund representative Marcia Weaver at 717-951-8851 or fill out a form at www.fresh air.org to get started. Volunteer host families may request the preferred age and gender of their Fresh Air child. Children on firsttime visits are ages 7 to 12, and children reinvited by the same family may continue through age 18. According to www. freshair.org, more than 1.8 million children from New York City have participated in the cultural exchange program since it began in 1877.

By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“We’re partnering to get cats adopted,” Pet Pantry of Lancaster County executive director Melody Sanders said of her organization’s collaboration with Furever Home Adoption Center. “We put the animals first, and we try to figure out the rest afterward.” Until recently, that partnership has primarily involved working to ensure that rescued or surrendered cats receive the medical care and safe homes they need. Furever Home operates a feline sanctuary and adoption center at 5984 Main St., East Petersburg, while the Pet Pantry, headquartered at 26 Millersville Road, Lancaster, cares for cats and other animals, offers lowcost vaccinations and spay/neuter services, and supplies pet food for households experiencing financial distress. The Pet Pantry’s veterinarians have been able to treat illnesses and injuries in cats taken in by Furever Home, and Furever Home has cared for felines accepted by the Pet Pantry that do better in a cage-free environment where they can socialize with other animals. The two organizations also share
volunteers. Now, the Pet Pantry has signed on to help with hosting Furever Home’s fourth annual summer shopping fair. “This is a way for us to support (Furever Home),” Sanders said. “This shows our staff members and volunteers working together. The community needs to see organizations working together to better the lives of animals in Lancaster County.” The shopping fair will be held at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 21. The event will be open to the public free of charge, and well-contained pets will be welcome. The Pet Pantry’s canine ambassador, Sasha, is slated to be on hand to meet with shoppers. More than 100 vendors, crafters, and local businesses have registered to participate in the event, which Furever Home fundraising chair Tina Krueger has carefully coordinated. “I want the consumer to have a wonderful shopping experience,” Krueger said. The first 100 adults to visit the shopping fair will receive goodie bags. There will be opportunities to win prizes and to participate in a vendor passport

game. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Krueger noted that with the Pet Pantry’s assistance this year, there are enough volunteers to run concessions rather than outsourcing to a food truck. A food drive to benefit both organizations will be held during the shopping fair. Folks may receive an entry into a prize drawing for each cat item they donate. The wish list includes canned kitten food, wet or dry cat food, kitten meal replacement liquid, powdered kitten formula, paper towels, and bleach. The need for supplies is great. Between the two organizations, more than 500 cats have found forever families in the past year. Currently, the Pet Pantry has more than 50 cats in foster homes and 20 felines in its adoption room. Still more are sheltered by Furever Home. Additionally, the Pet Pantry provides an average of 6,000 pounds of cat and dog food to households in need each month. Distributions are held in Gap, Collegeville, and Lancaster, as well as at Water Street Mission. “ We’re trying to touch as many people as possible,” Sanders said, explaining the Pet Pantry’s geographic reach. Both the Pet Pantry and Furever Home exist through public support and private fundraising
like the summer shopping fair. Volunteers are integral to the organizations’ operation. Krueger noted that Furever Home can use folks to clean the adoption center or to attend networking events to provide education about the organization. Volunteers are also welcome to assist with the summer shopping fair, and sponsorships are available. Krueger invites folks with vendor, sponsorship, and volunteer inquiries to contact her at flip pers1@aol.com or 717-808-8108. To learn more about the participating organizations, readers may visit www.fureverhome adoptioncenter.com or www.pet pantrylc.org.

FoodStock from pg 1 worker, Hayden had the chance to pick up thousands of donations and deliver 12,000 pounds of food to the Ephrata Food Bank. “ We overwhelmed our local food bank with donations. This was in May, and I said, ‘This ought to last you through the year,’ and the guy said, ‘Actually, this won’t even last us past July,’” recalled Hayden. “That’s when it hit me how big the need was.” “This is a problem that flies under the radar. Hunger has a certain stigma to it,” said Hayden, noting that although it is a widespread issue, people oftentimes do not want to admit to struggling with it. Hardworking people often still face the choice of deciding between heat for their homes or food for their families, and Hayden believes that is something everyone can pitch in to help change. Hayden, Bobby D. Jones, and
down and choose other organizations, too,” Hayden explained. FoodStock always donates to the food bank in the town where the event is hosted, so the Manheim Central Food Pantry will benefit again this year. “We just want people to come out and enjoy the spirit of the event,” said Hayden. “There’s a lot of people out there in need. One circumstance - one illness, the loss of a spouse - can change it all. I think a lot of people take that for granted,” he reflected.

Todd Fuginetti formed FoodStock, a nonprofit organization, in 2011 as a way to combine their shared passion for music and helping others. Every summer, the organization hosts the FoodStock Music Festival as a way to raise funds for area organizations working to end hunger. This year’s event will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 28, in the Barn and Barrel Courtyard at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, 2775 Lebanon Road, Manheim. The music festival will include performances by Steel Radiance, Corsair Blue Jazz Orchestra, Benjamin Vo Blues Band, solo guitarist Rob Reese, and Hydroponic Philharmonic. Headlining the event at 5 p.m. will be Vinyl Groov, a Harrisburg-based band that plays everything from Motown to modern hits. “They’re an event in and of themselves,” Hayden said. “We try to keep it
fresh, so we have a really eclectic mix of performers this year.” Food and beverages will be available to purchase, and a variety of arts and craft vendors from throughout central Pennsylvania will have items for attendees to browse and buy. Giveaways and silent and Chinese auctions are planned as well, with items including autographed CDs, Beatles memorabilia, a black five-piece Pearl Roadshow complete drum set, original artwork, a wedding photography package, tickets to area attractions and restaurants, and more. To purchase tickets to the FoodStock Music Festival, interested individuals may visit www.foodstockpa.org. Admission for children age 12 and under is free. Proceeds from the 2018 event will primarily benefit Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services (CVCCS), as well as Water Street Mission and other local food banks and pantries. “ We have a main beneficiary every year, but then we break it

Church Awards Scholarships Four Lancaster high school graduates were honored by Church of the Apostles United Church of Christ (UCC) during Sunday worship services on June 3 and June 10. The students were recognized for receiving scholarships through the church’s newly expanded scholarship program. Conner Braun, a graduate of Penn Manor High School, received the Helen Elmer Scholarship. The scholarship honors an active member of the Church of Apostles UCC who has enrolled in a college to continue his or her education. The scholarship was established by Carl and Helen Bernhardt in memory of Helen’s mother. Conner, son of Chris and Karen Braun of Lancaster, plans to attend the University of Pittsburgh in the fall to major in finance. Braun has served on Church of the Apostles’ church council for two years. He is a member of the church’s stewardship commission, and he has managed the sound booth and ushered regularly for worship services over the past four years. Harrison Norton, a graduate of Hempfield High School, received a Kenneth Bernhardt Scholarship. The scholarship, created by the Kenneth and Evelyn Bernhardt family, is open to seniors at Hempfield High School who plan to attend a technical college. Norton plans to attend the Pennsylvania College of Technology in the fall to study welding and fabrication engineering. He is a registered blacksmith and has been teaching others the trade of forging during the last three years. He is the son of Nathaniel and Jennifer Norton of Columbia. Jonatan Perez, also a graduate of Hempfield High School, received a Kenneth Bernhardt Scholarship and plans to attend
Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology to study architecture. He aspires to develop architecture that respects the ecosystem through the efficient and moderate use of materials, energy, and space. Jonatan is the son of Angel and Nyree Perez of Landisville. A third graduate of Hempfield High School, Margaret Johnston, also received a Kenneth Bernhardt Scholarship. She plans to attend Pennsylvania College of Technology to study construction
management. She is interested in planning buildings to incorporate the needs of the ecosystem and communities. Margaret, daughter of James and Linda Johnston, lives in East Hempfield Township. Church of the Apostles UCC awards scholarships to further the church’s mission of sharing Christ’s love with all people.

Christmas In July from pg 1

450 West Main Street, Mountville
Although temperatures are more like 93 degrees instead of 39, a group of Woodcrest Villa residents is thinking Christmas. The seventh annual Christmas in July school supplies drive will be held from Tuesday, July 24, through Tuesday, July 31. A kickoff celebration will be held at 7 p.m. on July 24 in Gamber Auditorium, which is located within the VIVA Centre on Woodcrest Villa’s campus, 2001 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster. “We’ll have a little music, a little laughter,” co-founder Barbara Smith said of the celebration. “That’s the best part: eating homemade Christmas cookies!” The program will feature

musical performances as well as group singing of carols, and resident Dee Harnish will read a Pennsylvania Dutch translation of Clement Moore’s poem “The Night Before Christmas.” Refreshments - including the cookies that Barbara mentioned will be provided. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to order school supplies for donation to the program. Volunteer Dennis Good explained that the group has put an efficiency measure in place to improve the shopping process. As in previous years, group members will offer school supplies for residents to buy and donate. This service enables folks who are unable to shop off-campus to participate in the supplies drive.
This year, however, the group will take orders for items, which Dennis will order in bulk and ship directly to the Families in Transition program. Families in Transition began more than 20 years ago in the School District of Lancaster and has since spread to incorporate 17 Lancaster County school districts. The program aims to remove barriers to education for homeless children by helping to provide school supplies, clothing, transportation to school, and other basic needs. Christmas in July accepts donations of cash in addition to school supplies; the funds have been used to purchase school uniforms and other necessities, including laundry detergent. In 2017, more than 10,000 items were donated, and financial contributions amounted to almost $4,000. Barbara noted that $500 is earmarked for the Hempfield School District, as that is where the retirement community is located. She related a conversation with her contact at the district who requested some of those funds be used for laundry detergent. The contact explained that the school nurses all have access to washers and dryers, and when children come to school in unclean clothing, the nurses are able to provide the students with a fresh set of clothing to wear

while they launder the clothing. “That’s a really touching story,” Barbara remarked. Accounts like those are why Barbara, Dennis, and others participate in Christmas in July. “It’s fun to do something with the younger generation,” remarked program co-founder Pat Smith, who is not related to Barbara. “ We have so many former school teachers, nurses, and principals who live here,” Barbara explained. “They’re so touched by this program (because they remember their own students). They like selecting things themselves if they’re mobile.” Items for the project may be placed in decorated boxes in several areas on campus. Members of the public may drop off items at the VIVA Centre, and cash contributions may be made at the center’s front desk. The school supplies requested are crayons, No. 2 pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, pink erasers, glue sticks, safety scissors, spiral notebooks, three-ring binders, three-ring notebook paper, composition books, and backpacks. Personal care items will also be accepted, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, socks, hairbrushes, combs, and hair picks. For more information about Christmas in July, readers may call Barbara at 717-391-3627. Pictured on front: Woodcrest Villa residents who have organized the seventh annual Christmas in July school supplies drive are (from left) Pat Smith, Barbara Smith, Suzanne Burger, Harvey Meyer, and Nancy and Dennis Good. Following a kickoff celebration on July 24, the drive will run through July 31.
Egyptian Bazaar Planned St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church of Lancaster, 3602 Marietta Ave., Lancaster, will hold an Egyptian Bazaar on Saturday and Sunday, July 21 and 22, from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event will feature live music, a bounce castle, games, and food and dessert, such as shawarma, falafel, kabobs, baklava, konafa, and more.

donations are also crucial for helping teachers and families out during the midpoint of the school year - typically after the holiday break - with restocking items. Columbia Life Network reaches out to the schools at that time to see what they need. “A lot of time they’re asking for simple things like tissues, because at that point it’s flu season,” Widener noted. Columbia Life Network exists to offer a hand up to residents in need in the Columbia Borough and surrounding areas by connecting them with available resources and facilitating efforts to develop services to answer needs within the local community.

are also accepted by Columbia Life Network and will be used to purchase other supplies that are needed throughout the school year. Jamie Widener, who has been serving as the executive director of Columbia Life Network since November 2017, said that the costs of school supplies continue to rise each year and having assistance can provide a tremendous amount of savings for families. The school supplies are divvied up and donated to each of the schools in Columbia and then distributed to students according to need. Widener said that financial
As of this summer, Columbia Life Network has teamed up with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, Community Action Partnership, and several other groups and businesses to bring Fresh Express to the area.

Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania will host a Holiday Ramble to New York City (NYC) on Sunday, Dec. 2. Museum travelers will have a docent-guided tour of the world-famous, historic landmark Grand Central Terminal and learn its story of great engineering, architectural achievement, survival, and rebirth. There will be free time for attendees to shop the annual Holiday Fair and Grand Central’s 60 stores and enjoy lunch on their own. Ramblers also will experience the New York Botanical Garden, a 250-acre National Historic Landmark which supports more than 1 million living plants in extensive collections of tropical, temperate, and desert flora. One highlight will be the annual Holiday Train Show, set in the conservatory with its scaled iconic buildings and structures such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Yankee Stadium, and the Statue of Liberty, which are recreated using bark, leaves, and other natural materials. Numerous model trains operate over nearly a half-mile of track and under thousands of twinkling lights. Also included in the ramble is roundtrip motorcoach transportation from Lancaster or King of Prussia. The rate for current Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania members will be discounted. Nonmembers will pay full price. The deadline for registration is Monday, Oct. 1. For complete details and a registration form, readers may visit www.rrmuseumpa.org. Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals may call after the deadline to check availability.

On a corner in Akron, where Main Street and Route 272 intersect, a small building is home to Bible Visuals International (BVI). The organization, which was founded nearly 60 years ago by area resident Helen Odenwelder, meets needs around the world for visual teaching materials about God. Tom Luttmann, executive director of BVI, explained that the organization has endeavored to bring the Bible to children and adults in three ways. “We have visualized Bible lessons, which we are updating with a colorization process; visualized biographies of missionaries and other Christians from different eras; and visualized songs for children to sing and (take part in) worship together,� said Luttmann. BVI held its 59th anniversary banquet, with a gathering of nearly 300 attendees, on May 10. Tim Keesee, executive director with Frontline Missions International, served as keynote speaker. Frontline is an organization known for taking the Gospel into difficult regions of the world. The choice of Keesee as speaker was appropriate, as BVI began when Odenwelder was directing Child Evangelism Fellowship outreaches and searching for a publishing ministry to supply the needs of local clubs. “(BVI)
people’s backyards,� explained Luttmann. “It’s a ministry that grew in scope with Helen’s vision to supply materials not just locally but internationally.� Updating materials that were created some years ago has been an important goal for BVI. Luttmann explained how help in accomplishing that feat is being provided by Sam Gunti, who runs large Bible camps - reaching as many as 18,000 children in a camp - in India. BVI had worked with Gunti to translate and print materials for his gatherings, and Gunti decided to return the favor. During a visit to BVI a few years ago, Gunti brought a thumb drive of updated BVI materials in full color. “It would have cost us quite a bit (to update those materials, so Gunti’s gift) has provided a good foundation,� Luttmann noted. Locally, BVI has worked with Bible2School, a Manheim-based mentorship program that offers free, weekly Bible elective classes for public school students in several Lancaster County school districts. “(Bible2School) is growing, and they needed more visuals to go with their curriculum,� said Luttmann. “It would be an expensive process (for Bible2School) to have new illustrations put together, (so) we looked through our curriculum and found visuals that would match their lessons.� Luttmann said BVI is in the
Thousands gather at a Bible study held in India by Sam Gunti, a partner of Bible Visuals International (BVI), which is located in Akron. Gunti uses BVI materials, and his work is one example of how the ministry reaches out to spread the Gospel to all nations. process of transforming offerings to give more options to those who need them. “We have great resources, but they don’t have to be in just (one) format,� Luttmann said. “There’s a new generation of children and ministry workers who know more about technology, and they are looking for resources they can download or put on a tablet.� BVI is working to make resources available digitally and as downloads, and Luttmann is excited to see where the materials are being utilized. “There are huge opportunities in technology to get resources to ministry partners.� In addition to special licensing agreements that allow for the use of materials by others, Luttmann described another opportunity that came through an online retailer that

Gordon Denlinger, who serves as treasurer for the organization, called BVI a hidden gem and noted that volunteers are needed to serve the organization in a variety of capacities. “It doesn’t get any better than helping children see Jesus and come to know Him in a faith way,� he said. “We want to make sure the Gospel is being presented.� BVI, a nonprofit organization located at 650 Main St., Akron, is overseen by a nine-member board.
