Dave Zuilkoski, superintendent of Conestoga Valley School District (CVSD), and Erik Orndorff, superintendent of Pequea Valley School District (PVSD), are also president and vice president of the Rotary Club of Paradise, respectively. Feeling the weight of having to cancel the club’s usual fundraisers due to COVID-19 restrictions, the pair decided to look inward for motivation.

“We thought it would be good to hold ourselves accountable and raise some money via ‘The Biggest Loser’ competition,” explained Orndorff.

From February to the end of April, Zuilkoski and Orndorff engaged in a battle not only designed to see which superintendent could lose the most weight, but also pitting CVSD against PVSD to see which could raise the most funds for an organization of the superintendent’s choosing. Zuilkoski raised funds for Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services (CVCCS), which provides a food pantry and other services for CVSD residents, and Orndorff chose The Factory Ministries, which provides similar services for PVSD residents.

The competition invited potential donors to give a chosen amount per pound, make a onetime donation, or donate food to either CVCCS or The Factory. E-mail blasts and other methods of communication were used to provide weekly weigh-in updates to donors. “We kicked off on Feb. 8 (with the) first weigh-in,” recalled Orndorff, who noted that both he and Zuilkoski submitted photos of their scales until the last weigh-in, which was held in person.

Each man set a goal of losing 20 pounds. “We were pretty close (in weight) when we started,” recalled Zuilkoski, who planned to work extra hard to lose during the last few weeks. He noted that being more aware of what he eats and walking regularly, along with an elliptical routine and light weight training, were helping him to lose.

Orndorff, who has participated in group bicycling efforts in the past, said that he has been avoiding eating carbohydrates and has been working out on a treadmill in the Pequea Valley High School fitness center.

Off er expires 5/31/21 The town has carefully worked the architecture of the Moravian Church, located at 8 Church Square, into newer buildings and successfully combined the past with quaint shops and attractive dining venues. The efforts helped earn Lititz the title of “America’s Coolest Small Town” back in 2013.

But “cool” is perhaps too ephemeral a term to describe Lititz. With traditional enterprises such as Wilbur Chocolate, which still operates a retail store on Broad Street; the Lititz Springs Inn and Spa, built in 1764 as the Zum Anker; and the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, which is believed to be the oldest in the country, Lititz has much to offer visitors.

Outdoor pursuits include a visit to Lititz Springs Park, a seven-acre plot featuring a band shell and recreation areas surrounding a picturesque stream. The park is also the location of the town welcome center, an 1884 Victorian Gothic building designed by Frank Furness, where volunteers provide information about activities and restaurants in Lititz. The Warwick-to-Ephrata Rail Trail offers 8 miles to walk, run, or bike from its start at Oak Street to Ephrata. Bicycle rental is available at the Warwick Township Building. At the Wolf Sanctuary of PA, located in the Speedwell Forge area of Lititz, visitors may enjoy a unique chance to see wolf pack dynamics.

The restored Johannes Mueller House and the Lititz Historical Foundation Museum are generally open from the end of May through December, offering guided tours that tell the story of the Moravians and how the town was founded. The wooden portion of the Mueller house was built by Klein in 1740, making it the oldest standing private home in Lititz. It was also the location of the Lititz post office from 1830 to 1849. The historical foundation hands out free historic walking tour maps of Main Street, which take visitors to about 18 buildings.

Located directly behind the foundation are the Mary Oehme Gardens. The gardens, which are free to visit and open to the public as long as no events are happening there, are a tranquil area full of bright colors against a green backdrop.

Enjoying the scenery during a stroll through Lititz might cause one to work up an appetite. A few dozen restaurants, ranging from ethnic eateries to brew pubs and cafés, are sandwiched between shops. One local resident recommends Chilangos for authentic Mexican. Rooster Street Butcher features meats and pastas hosting a variety of tasty flavors, and Piccolo Eatery is known for the size of its Mediterranean- and Italian-inspired sandwiches. Tomato Pie Café is a family-owned restaurant offering an eclectic take on meals and desserts.

While Lititz may seem steeped in tradition, it is also home to a 52,000 square-foot rehearsal space built literally on rock … music. Located just north of town is Rock Lititz, a campus resulting from a partnership between Tait Towers and Clair Brothers Audio Enterprises.

A quintessential example of a Lancaster County town, Lititz is surrounded by rolling hills and verdant farmland. While it is possible to enjoy a day visit to Lititz, the town offers a rich heritage and interesting activities that may compel visitors back to see and do more. Discovering Lititz can mean exploring and experiencing new sights, sounds, and tastes without traveling very far from your own backyard.

In cold weather or warm, the town of Lititz has much to offer to visitors - beautiful surroundings, quaint shops, and interesting cuisine that combine to make Lititz a lovely place to spend a day.

When April 30 arrived, Orndorff had lost 22 pounds, and Zuilkoski had lost 17. As the loser, Zuilkoski had to wear PVSD spirit wear while walking through schools in his own district. Orndorff was able to donate approximately $3,000 to The Factory Ministries, and Zuilkoski donated about the same amount in funds to CVCCS.

In addition to the funds, food was donated. Efforts included Fritz Elementary School’s cereal drive, which had a goal of collecting 400 boxes of cereal, and making a domino line with the cereal boxes in the hallway prior to taking them to CVCCS. “They ended up with 1,027 boxes,” said Zuilkoski. “It probably took three or four minutes for all the boxes to fall.” Approximately 500 other food items were also donated to CVCCS as part of the competition.

Both superintendents have decided to encourage healthy habits for their district staff members. “For our faculty, we have made it part of our healthy awareness program to lose weight,” said Zuilkoski. “If you sign up to lose weight, you get points toward our wellness program.”

Orndorff is hoping to repeat the fundraiser in the future. “Next year, we might find a more formalized way of doing it with a percentage of weight loss for 20 people from PVSD and 20 people from CVSD, so it’s not only (the two of) us.”
