Family Needs Met Inside Unlocked Closet
BY JEFF FALK
Sometimes, wonderful things can spring from places of hurt.
When Chelsea Clark’s sons, Amir, now 9, and Adam, now 8, were initially adopted, a lack of support led to the cancellation of a baby shower for the boys. But Chelsea turned the negative into a positive.
From a personal challenge, the Ephrata woman created a public nonprofit called Unlocked Closet.
“I wanted to do what I could to have people not feel what I felt,” said Chelsea. “We started in a storage unit and quickly outgrew it. Where we’re going, I don’t know. I’m not in a rush to get there. I want to make sure whatever we do, we do well. Currently, we aren’t doing any fundraising, but we’re going to need to do it.”
Unlocked Closet, which is situated at 24 Orange St., Ephrata, is like a store for foster and adoptive families, except no money ever changes hands. Operated entirely by volunteers, Unlocked Closet consists of 1,200 square feet of donated items, but Chelsea performs many of the administrative chores for the organization at home and through a Facebook page.
Unlocked Closet’s hours of operation vary from week to week, but they are posted regularly on its Facebook page. Typically, the nonprofit is open for two to five hours, five or six days a week.
“‘Unlock’ means we want to unlock the positivity in kids,” said Chelsea. “When kids enter into foster care, they don’t come with anything. When they walk into the store, we want them to feel value. We have suitcases,

Scholarship Supports Students Following in Randy Royer’s Footsteps
BY JEFF FALK
Randy Royer led a full, rich life. It was the kind of life worthy of a foundation and a scholarship.
“He was always upbeat and outgoing,” said Denise Bender, who serves as a board member on the Randy Royer Memorial Foundation. “If you talked to him every day he would say, ‘Living the dream.’ At work, he got along with contractors and builders. He got things done. He was willing to help anyone.”
The deadline to apply for this year’s edition of the Randy Royer Memorial Foundation scholarship is quickly approaching. Scholarship applications, which can be accessed at www .amesconstructioninc.com/ giving-back, must be received by Friday, June 1.

On the surface, there is no obvious connection between medicine and music. That is, until you realize that music goes with anything, or everything.
Auscultation Brass is a collection of healing artists and a group of musical physicians.
“I think there’s a part in our brains that, when music hits our ears, it becomes very soothing,”
The scholarships are designed for seniors from Ephrata, Cocalico, Warwick and Garden Spot high schools who are interested in the construction or building field or the automotive industry, and who will be attending a postsecondary institution in the fall of 2026. Included in the application is an essay portion.
A graduate of Ephrata High School who was raised in Akron, Royer was a project manager at Ames Construction for 27 years before his sudden passing in October of 2016.
“We’ve had a wide variety of recipients,” said Bender. “In the first year, an Ephrata student Randy had coached in youth soccer received it. Last year,

America250 Series Puts Local Spin on American Backstories
BY JEFF FALK
All humans are created equally, and peoples of different colors, backgrounds and beliefs can share the Earth and peacefully coexist. If indeed America is a grand experiment, then those are the premises.
On the occasion of this country’s 250th anniversary, Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum’s America250 lecture series examines forces which have directly and indirectly affected that experiment and highlights the role that Pennsylvania and Lancaster have played in it.
Wednesday, Nov. 18.
“Pennsylvania was called the Keystone State because we bridged the northern colonies and the southern colonies,” said Long. “Pennsylvania has always played a critical role in this nation. At the beginning, this was the birthplace of the revolution. We supplied a great deal of food for the (continental) army. We’ve always been willing to throw our shoulder behind America.”
Auscultation Brass
said Dr. Jerry Rothacker, the scheduler and main contact for Auscultation Brass. “For years, when I did surgery, I didn’t allow music in the operating room. I didn’t want it to be a distraction. But at one point, I told my staff, ‘I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to play classical music.’ What I found was that it wasn’t a distraction; it helped people concentrate.
“What I was listening to wasn’t what my staff was listening to when they were driving home,” he added. “That’s the beauty of music.”

Trumpet players include Dr. Dan Diehl, a retired family doctor; Dr. Andy Lutzkanin, a family physician; and Dr. Bill Roberts, a retired family doctor. Intensive Care Unit nurse Kirby Strohmaier plays the French horn, as does Dr. Bill Lovett, a practicing family doctor.

“It’s really important to understand where we come from,” said museum educator Zachary Long. “This is an opportunity to look at 250 years of history and reflect on it. None of the European powers thought that we were going to make it this long. But we’ve become incredibly successful and become a world power.”
Kutztown University’s Patrick Donmoyer’s presentation on “The Legend of Mountain Mary” will kick off the America250 lecture series at 6 p.m. on May 29. It will be followed by historian Scott Mingus’ talk on “The Underground Railroad in Lancaster” at 6 p.m. on June 26, Philip Gruber’s discussions about “Farmer Revolts in Early America” at 6 p.m. on July 31, and Scott Sheeley’s speech on “Lancaster’s Role in American’s Food System” at 6 p.m. on Aug. 28.
The seven-speaker America250 lecture series that Long has pulled together will be presented at Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster, on the last Friday of every month, beginning on May 29. There are costs involved with attending the series of lectures, which will conclude on
At 6 p.m. on Sept. 25, Lynette Miller will put a historical spin on “18th Century Fashion in Lancaster.” Dr. William Woys Weaver will expound upon the topic of “Pennsylvania Dutch Food Traditions” at 6 p.m. on Oct. 30, while long rifle and back powder expert John Kolar’s talk on “Lancaster Gunsmiths

Auscultation Brass is a Lancaster-based band made up of medical professionals - nurses and mostly doctors. Medicine is their profession, and music is their interest, but they are passionate about both.
“Auscultation means to listen,” said Rothacker, a retired orthopedic surgeon and a tuba-playing resident of East Hempfield. “It’s like a doctor listening to your lungs and heart with a stethoscope. That’s Auscultation. We had a little discussion when the band was first formed. Someone came up with Auscultation, and we said, ‘That’s it.’”
Auscultation Brass is directed by Dr. Bob Belser, an ear, nose and throat man, while Dr. Michael Chambers, a maxillofacial surgeon, plays the trombone and serves as the group’s musical librarian. Chambers is joined on the trombone by Dr. Marguerite Duane, a family doctor.
Dr. Tom Andersen, a retired
Those health professionals have practiced medicine in local hospitals like Lancaster General, performed as specialists at places like Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster or been on their own in private practices.
“I think some of the attraction is the discipline it takes to learn to play an instrument,” said Rothacker. “You don’t just pick it up. You’ve got to work at it every day. As you get older, it becomes a mental challenge.”
Auscultation Brass specializes in the genres of classical, light classical, pop, marches and movie-themed music. Over the last four decades, the members have grown as musicians, the group has evolved as a band and Auscultation Brass’ library has ballooned to more than 300 pieces of music.
“We try to practice once a week,” said Rothacker. “It’s been Sunday evenings for 40 years. At one time, that was the night that was the calmest, with medical emergencies and young kids. The thing I’m most proud of is that we’ve been able to evolve. When we first started, it was fairly basic stuff. We’re on to some more difficult music, and we’ve been able to add members.”
Established in 1985, Auscultation Brass now plays about 12 venues each year, mostly at churches, retirement homes, medical events and festivals.
“When we first started, we had patients who would come to our performances,” said Rothacker. “It was kind of like, ‘Hey, this guy has a life outside of medicine.’ But the story is music. You can be a musician, enjoy music and not necessarily make it your field. The members in our band are really good musicians and really good doctors.”

National Night Out Event Planned
The Ephrata Area National Night Out will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. at LCBC Ephrata, 6 Hahnstown Road, Ephrata.
Established in 1984, National Night Out is a national community-building campaign held on the first Tuesday in August. Its goal is to enhance the relationship between neighbors, law enforcement personnel, firefighters, and ambulance and paramedic teams. It aims to foster a sense of community and provide an opportunity to bring first responders and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
Celebrations are held in thousands of communities in all 50 states, as well as in U.S. territories and at U.S. military bases worldwide. Approximately 1,000 people attended last year’s event in Ephrata.
This year’s event will include games, inflatables, face painting, a dunk tank, and free food. Fire apparatus from Ephrata Pioneer, Lincoln, Martindale, and Adamstown fire companies will be on display, as well as units from the Ephrata Community Ambulance Association, the Lancaster County
SERT Team, and the Pennsylvania State Police. Demonstrations of vehicle extrication and ladder operations are also scheduled. At least 50 nonprofit organizations and local businesses will host games and provide giveaways for children, as well as provide information about goods and services available in the Ephrata area.
National Night Out is open to the public and is free of charge. It is hosted by the Ephrata Police Department, LCBC Ephrata, and the Friends of the Ephrata Police Foundation.
Booths are available free of charge to nonprofit organizations and businesses with the stipulation that the booth holder must offer a game suitable for children, provide a giveaway geared toward children, or donate toward the cost of the event. To reserve a booth, email friendsoftheephrata police@gmail.com or call 717-733-4918. Anyone may donate to help cover the cost of the event by visiting www.foepf.org.

Contemplative Pentecost Service Planned
Mennonite Life, 2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster, will host a contemplative Pentecost service in the Biblical Tabernacle Experience on Saturday, May 30, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
The contemplative experience will draw attendees into God’s ongoing journey with humanity from the tabernacle to the cross to Pentecost. In the service, participants will respond to God’s presence together as they journey through a series of stations featuring Scripture; music; and practices that engage the senses, such as hand washing and anointing.
717-393-9745.
Mennonite Life’s vision is diverse communities connecting across boundaries by knowing and valuing their own and each other’s stories of life, faith, cultures, and histories.
The Biblical Tabernacle Experience is a reproduction of the tabernacle as described in the Hebrew Scriptures. The tabernacle is a valuable way to understand God’s relationship with God’s people throughout history, illuminating God’s desire to dwell among His people, to offer redemption for broken humanity through Emmanuel, and to show God’s kingdom breaking into the world today through the Holy Spirit.
Staff members will invite the group to examine the significance of the physical pieces of the Biblical Tabernacle and offer questions for contemplation. The service is open to all but is best suited for youths and adults.
The event is free but requires registration. To register, visit www.menno nitelife.org/events or call

Among the items available at Unlocked Closet are new and gently used hats, coats and clothing sized from newborn to adult 3X, diapers, toiletries, books, games, toys, bikes, balls, cleats, baby gear and seasonal items. Families must show proof of fostering or adoption to receive the goods, and a vast majority of the items have been donated - some by churches and some by families who have benefited from Unlocked Closet in the past.

“Every time we have someone new walk in, they tell us they need to tell a friend,” said Chelsea. “So, I think the need is greater than I realize, especially in this current economic climate.”
“There are some big names coming. This should be good,” said Long. “All these lecturers share a fantastic love for history in certain areas. They want people to get excited about the subject material. They’re all willing to meet people where they are. None come in with preconceived notions. Everyone’s going to come along for the ride.
“We’re looking to build membership, and we’re looking to generate content,” said Long. “We’d love to see our neighbors come out. We’d like to see it be a date night.”
“Every foster child’s family receives a stipend from the county in which they live,” said Chelsea. “But a lot of times, those stipends don’t reach. It’s not covering basic needs. We want to take off some of that financial need, and we want kids to have a sense of normalcy. We want to create a community for families. We want to fill in the gaps for the families who aren’t being supported.”
Unlocked Closet moved from a 200-square-foot storage unit to its current location in August of 2022, and a year later created a bike and outdoor toy room in a storage area there. In December of 2023, the nonprofit conducted its initial Christmas Gift event, and in October of 2024, Unlocked Closet awarded its first scholarships.
“I hadn’t done a lecture series in a long time,” continued Long. “I went to people I knew, and they passed me off to other people. It was a lot of phone calls and back and forth. I think it’ll be a fantastic series. There’s some culture, there’s some military, there’s some Revolutionary War and there’s some Civil War.”
For more than 100 years, Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum has been educating, promoting and advocating for 300-yearold Pennsylvania German history.
Last year alone, Unlocked Closet served families nearly 700 times and distributed almost 30,000 items valued at nearly $142,000. Most of the families being served reside in Lancaster, Lebanon, York and Chester counties.
There are currently about 15,000 children enrolled in the foster care system throughout Pennsylvania, and about one-third of them are available for adoption.
“It’s far and wide,” said
“It’s getting there,” Chelsea said. “We’ve sent out letters to churches and organizations, but we’ve seen very little return on that. A lot of our reach is word of mouth. Now we need a bigger space.
“Kids are valuable, and we want them to realize they’re valued,” she added. “That creates good humans, and we need that in the world.”
For additional information, go to www.unlocked closet.org.
Each lecture in the series will last about 90 minutes and will include discussion and question-and-answer periods. Light refreshments will be served. Interested individuals are asked to register for the lectures at www. landisvalleymuseum.org. There are limits to the number of visitors who can attend the lectures in person, but the museum will also offer Zoom options and recorded
“The reason we exist is to preserve and showcase Pennsylvania German history,” said Long. “We are carrying forward George and Henry Landis’ mission. The lecture series was designed to highlight objects in our collection. It ducktails beautifully with our mission.
“I’d like people to know that Landis Valley exists and that Landis Valley is doing very exciting things,” concluded Long. “We’d like local residents to feel invested and excited about it. That’s part of what this lecture series is about.”

Scholarship
one of the students who received it was going overseas to go to school. We ask the applicants what made them passionate to go into the field.”
After applications are received, they are reviewed to ensure requirements have been met. Then the members of the Randy Royer Memorial Foundation board meet and apply a rubrics system to determine the recipients of onetime scholarships between $1,000 and $5,000.
Last year, the Randy Royer Memorial Foundation awarded eight scholarships to local high school seniors.
“A $5,000 scholarship for a school like Thaddeus Stevens is a good amount,” said Bender, a resident of Ephrata.
The scholarship is funded through the Randy Royer Memorial Foundation’s
annual golf outing, titled “Living the Dream.” This year, the fundraising event will be conducted at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24, at Iron Valley Golf Club in Cornwall.
“We want to give away money,” said Bender. “We do very well when we do our golf tournament because we have very generous donors. We want people to know about the scholarships.”
The Randy Royer Memorial Foundation and its scholarship were established not long after Royer’s passing. Over the last nine years, the foundation has awarded a total of $93,000 in scholarships to more than 21 local students.
The board that oversees the Randy Royer Memorial Foundation is made up of some of Royer’s family members and friends.
“I think it’s going very well,” said Bender.
Students receive scholarships from members of the Randy Royer Memorial Scholarship Foundation.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in music education - voice from Bob Jones University and a Master of Music from West Chester University. She holds Orff Schulwerk Certifications for Levels I to III, as well as the
Master Level. In 2009, she became the first recipient of Music For Everyone’s Music Teacher of the Year distinction. Shannon has performed with Opera Lancaster and directed its first two tours of opera tales, presenting a children’s opera to over 1,000 school-age children.
Howarth is a native of Lancaster County and holds a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies and a Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from Lancaster Bible College (LBC). She has been an accompanist for LBC, Opera Lancaster, and Prima Theatre, and she has performed in musicals, concerts, and other events.
