Nancy Lopez Called to Nurse’s Office
BY JEFF FALK
Health is everything. Without good health, we have nothing.
Translated to an educational setting, that means a student’s heath is critical to his or her learning. As the certified school nurse at Conestoga Valley High School (CVHS) and the school district’s nursing department’s chair, Nancy Lopez has been advocating for students’ well-being, treating ailments and even curing illnesses for 25 years.
“I think people think nurses in schools put on Band-Aids,” said Lopez. “But I feel like we’re an integral part of the overall education experience, the academic process. We want students to get the most out of their time at school.”
Auxiliary Shines Its Light on New Holland

It keeps them active. It keeps them social. It keeps them connected to the community. They are taking up causes. They are putting others ahead of themselves. They are making the New Holland area better for everyone.
The women of the New Holland American Legion Auxiliary are starring in a supporting role.
“We help support the veterans and the community,” said Sue Noll, who’s been a member of the auxiliary for 18 years. “Everybody needs support now and then. I don’t care who you are. We do support our veterans and veterans’ causes.”
A registered nurse, Lopez’s duties as CVHS’ certified school
nurse include, but are not limited to, responding to medical emergencies, managing and following state health mandates, performing health screenings, distributing
medications, providing direct care for injuries, maintaining health records for every student in the district and providing mental health support. Lopez also shares

The medical community has made significant strides in the field of mental health over the last half century. Events like the upcoming gathering of the Elanco Mental Health Committee (EMHC) are results of those advancements and also the catalysts for continued positive change.
“I think awareness has grown,” said Chrissy Ansari, a member of EMHC. “Mental health doesn’t have to be your identity. It’s part of who we are. I think more people are more accepting. Just talking about it releases that stigma
By always putting its best foot forward, the auxiliary supporting New Holland American Legion Post 662 has sort of taken on a life of its own.
The women’s civic/social club meets at 7 p.m. on the fourth Monday of every month at Post 662, 35 S. Hoover Ave., New Holland. Each meeting begins with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
“I enjoy the energy at the meetings with the ladies sharing ideas,” said Noll. “Everybody just works together so well. If you need volunteers, we’re there. We do keep busy.”
Acting as an extension of the American Legion Post 662, the auxiliary engages in a number of community activities and fundraisers throughout the year, some of which are seasonal in nature.
The auxiliary participates in the annual Memorial Day Pilgrimage,

More than a decade ago, Fritz Schroeder was paddling on the Conestoga River when he realized something. The now president and CEO of Lancaster Conservancy saw the challenges facing the waterway but also its great potential to become a thriving place for wildlife and recreation.
Lancaster Water Week grew out of that experience, and the event will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year from Friday, June 5, through Saturday, June 13.
“We have over 60 events hosted by more than 40 partners,” said Avery Van Etten, marketing and communications manager for Lancaster Conservancy. “There are so many events that no matter what you’re interested in, whether it’s paddling or hiking, taking a rain garden workshop, participating in an art event or other activities, there are so many ways for everyone to get involved.”
Highlights of Lancaster Water Week include First Friday in downtown Lancaster on June 5, when people can pick up free
native plants or seeds and enjoy immersive activities hosted by organizations working in the clean water movement.
On Tuesday, June 9, a 10th anniversary event will be held at West Art, 816 Buchanan Ave., Lancaster, from 5 to 8 p.m.
“This is an opportunity to connect with members of our clean water community and enjoy water-themed games, arts and crafts and activities,” Van Etten said. “West Art’s café will be open, and we’ll have a food truck and ice cream. And then around 6:30 p.m. we’ll have a presentation and a film screening, and we’ll wrap up with a DJ dance party with DJ Image.”
Other highlights include a creek stomp on Wednesday, June 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Stauffer Run stream at Greenfield, starting at the S. Dale High Leadership Center, 1861 William Penn Way, Lancaster.
“This is a super fun event that’s geared especially toward families with children,” Van Etten said.
Also on June 10, from 4 to 6 p.m., people are invited to explore a new self-guided nature trail sponsored
by Eurofins on one of its campus green spaces, located at 2430 New Holland Pike, Lancaster.
On Thursday, June 11, Lancaster City Stormwater staff will lead a tour of the newly installed wetland system at Long’s Park, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. That same day, from 4 to 5 p.m., tours of the Lititz Borough Wastewater Treatment Plant will be offered.
On June 13, conservation specialists RiverStewards Collaborative and LandStudies will join the Conestoga-Susquehannock Tribe and Circle Legacy Center to present “Weaving Indigenous Perspectives into Local Conservation and Restoration.” The program will take place at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse, 112 N. Water St., Lancaster, from 2 to 5 p.m.
Another highlight of the week will be the Rally for the River & Conestoga Cleanup on June 13 from 9 a.m. to noon. Participants will meet at Lancaster County Central Park and then head out to volunteer with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and partners at multiple spots along the Conestoga River.
“This is an especially exciting event because the Conestoga was recently named Pennsylvania’s River of the Year,” Van Etten said, explaining that the public voted for the river through the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers. “There are just so many things to do during Water Week. It’s an engaging and energizing, fun week.”
Caring for Lancaster County’s streams and rivers is important, she said, because these waterways are places for recreation and homes for wildlife. They provide sources of drinking water as well, but according to the Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Report for 2026,
more than 90% of the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in the county are considered “impaired.”
“We see this as a challenge but also as an opportunity to care for our waterways,” Van Etten said. “Improving our waterways is a daunting task, but it’s something we can achieve.”
Along with participating in Water Week activities, people are encouraged to take three action steps promoted by the Lancaster Conservancy.
They include creating habitats by planting native plants, protecting water by learning about your local watershed, and exploring the outdoors.
“We believe that when people explore our waterways and our natural lands, they will fall in love with them and want to help take care of them,” Van Etten said.
Lancaster Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust charged with protecting more than 11,000 acres of natural land, including more than 50 nature preserves in Lancaster and York counties and more than 60 miles of trails. People can support the organization by participating in educational events throughout the year, volunteering with the group or donating to the cause.
As she gears up for Water Week, Van Etten expressed gratitude for the collaborative nature of the event.
“We are so grateful for the incredible partners and sponsors that make Water Week possible and all the community members that join us for events during Water Week,” she said. “Without these, Water Week wouldn’t happen.”

her health expertise in the classroom on an as-needed basis, lines up speakers on health care issues for assemblies, and founded the Students Against Destructive Decisions Club at the high school.
“It’s an all-encompassing job,” said Lopez. “When there’s a need, we come to the table and give support. A typical day includes dealing with injuries and illnesses. We case manage on a certain level. We also make accommodations with families so students can be successful.”
On average, Lopez’s nurse’s office at CVHS receives about 70 visits from students each day. They are students being affected by headaches, coughs, sore throats and injuries, as well as chronic conditions like asthma and diabetes.
“Anything you would go to the doctor for,” said Lopez, a resident of Leola. “We’re health supporters. What would work for one student might not work for another. There’s a lot of specializing so we can meet their needs. Our ultimate goal is to keep students in school so they can learn.
“Think about a kid sitting in a classroom with a toothache,” added Lopez. “With the pain, they’re not able to learn; they’re not learning. They’re not concentrating on learning.”
Lopez is one of 13 school nurses employed by the Conestoga Valley School District and stationed throughout the district’s six buildings. Some work full-time, some work part-time, some are permanently assigned to a specific building and some float between buildings.
“Anybody we’ve dealt with knows exactly what we do,” said Lopez. “Anyone who has received services from us knows what school nurses do. But I don’t know if any parent whose student hasn’t come to us knows what we do.
“At the end of the day, it’s about relationships,” continued Lopez. “It’s about meeting kids where they are. Being a teenager these days is very difficult. It’s about
treating students with dignity and respect. It’s also about realizing that many students have gone through trauma, and dealing with that professionally.”
Empathetic, intuitive and knowledgeable, school nurses are nurses. But because they perform their duties in the unique settings that schools provide, a specialized skill set is required.
“There are definitely differences,” said Lopez. “It’s almost a more autonomous position. We’re the only health care providers in the building. Our nurses have critical care backgrounds. It’s definitely a bonus, because when emergencies do occur, that background will determine how that person responds. While emergencies don’t happen at the same level as they do at a hospital, they do happen.”
Lopez assumed her position as a certified school nurse at Conestoga Valley in 2001, returning to the school district that had helped form her during her developmental years.
“I graduated from Conestoga Valley, and my children graduated from Conestoga Valley,” said Lopez. “At that point (2001), I was working in day surgery at Lancaster General Hospital. I was looking for a change, something that worked with my family. School nursing hours are very conducive to child rearing.”
Lopez’s nursing education includes numerous degrees and certificates, as well as stops at Lancaster General Hospital’s School of Nursing, Millersville University, Eastern Mennonite University and other institutes of higher education. Lopez is a seasoned professional who is still evolving as a nurse.
“I feel like you’re never done learning,” said Lopez. “Where I think I’ve grown most is through understanding the importance of trusting relationships. I’ve seen a lot over the course of my years at Conestoga Valley. I do not pass judgment. I do not pretend to know what’s going on in people’s lives.”
Vox Philia Slates Concert
Vox Philia will present a concert titled “Earth and All Stars” at 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 7, at Grace Lutheran Church, 517 N. Queen St., Lancaster. The event will include the regional premieres of two contemporary extended choral works: Alex Berko’s “Sacred Place” and Cecilia McDowall’s “Music of the Stars.”
“Sacred Place” is conceived in the format of a liturgical service, inviting audiences to reflect on their shared environment. The work interweaves texts from renowned naturalists with traditional Jewish prayer, creating a tribute to the Earth.
“Music of the Stars” explores the uplifting power of music in challenging times. It features diverse texts from a Ukrainian folk song, the works of Kenyan poet Brian Odongo, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, and American writer James Weldon Johnson.
The concert will also include selections from Alfred Fedak, Tom Trenney, Ēriks Ešenvalds, and Frank James Staneck.

Buckskins Bring Home Bronze during State Championship
which visits 13 cemeteries in eastern Lancaster County. The group also hosts veterans from the Lebanon VA Hospital for dinner each year in October and participates in and supports programs at the VA Hospital in Coatesville.
Around Veterans Day in November, the auxiliary serves a luncheon to nearly 200 veterans and their spouses. In addition, the ladies perform crucial roles in the local Wreaths Across America initiative prior to the holidays and create and donate blank greetings cards for veterans to send to loved ones.
“We are patriotic,” said Noll, a resident of New Holland. “Some of what we do depends on the needs at the time. It’s about giving back and helping out the community.”
The auxiliary conducts two craft shows each year, in the fall and in the spring, both inside the banquet hall at the American Legion Post. The ladies also stage bingos twice a year at the legion, position collection boxes near entrances at the legion and hold periodic sub sales.
On every Saturday before Mother’s Day, the auxiliary holds a spa day at the banquet hall. The auxiliary also conducts a yearly fundraising overseas trip for American Legion Post 662 members.
“With these (women) members, there’s a camaraderie,” said Noll. “We get along well. We’re working
for a main cause.”
Some of the causes supported by the auxiliary are the Veterans Court Community Partnership, which assists veterans challenged by addiction or mental health issues, and the work of the local nonprofit CrossNet Ministries. The group also funds scholarships at Garden Spot High School and distributes gifts to families in need at Christmas time.
“I’d guess that not everyone knows about the work we do,” said Noll. “But we want to get the word out there. We’re always looking for members to help. The only requirement for joining is that you have to have a connection to someone in the service.”
Post 662’s auxiliary membership numbers around 600 women, more than 20 of whom attend meetings regularly. The ladies reside in New Holland, Leola, Ephrata, Gap and other communities across Lancaster County.
“They’re ladies who really, truly care about veterans and want to give back to veterans and their community,” said Noll. “They’re caring individuals. We are a fun, community-minded group.”
The New Holland American Legion Post 662 was established more than a century ago, and the auxiliary came into existence not long afterwards.

Community Car Show Will Help Extinguish Fires
BY JEFF FALK
At the Weaverland Valley Fire Department’s annual car show, it’s sometimes difficult to distinguish who’s having more fun - those taking in the sights and sounds or those showcasing their beautiful vehicles. Perhaps the best way to settle this modest little debate is to say that a good time will be had by all.
Weaverland Valley Fire Department will present the 43rd edition of its popular, fundraising car show during the afternoon hours of Sunday, June 7, at Terre Hill Community Park, 210 Lancaster Ave., Terre Hill. The rain-or-shine event, which will get underway at 11:30 a.m. and conclude around 3 p.m., is open to the public and free to spectators.
Parking is also free.
“Terre Hill Park is a very nice park,” said Harold Kilhefner, the organizer of the car show for the past 20 years. “There’s a big grass area, and there are a lot of trees and shade.”
As many as 150 vehicles of all makes, models, manufacturers and years will be available for viewing. First-, second- and third-place prizes will be awarded in 18 business-sponsored categories, as well as an overall top prize for the best of show.
The prize recipients will be determined by a vote of spectators and peers. Winners will be announced at 2:30 p.m., and the vehicles will be paraded to the park’s stage area, where they will receive their prizes.
Vehicle entries are expected from all over Lancaster County, as well as Berks, Lebanon, York and Chester counties, and even as far away as Maryland. Owners can pay to register their vehicles between 8:30 and 11:30 a.m. on the day of the car show.
“I’m amazed by how far they come,” said Kilhefner. “Car owners can just show up.”
Refreshments prepared inside the kitchen at the park’s pavilion will be available.
“If you want to come out, you can get lunch or breakfast and look at some cars,” said Kilhefner.
Organizers of the car show are hoping to raise $5,000 for the Weaverland Valley Fire Department, which operates stations in Terre Hill and Goodville. The funds will be put toward general expenses at the fire department.
The Weaverland Valley Fire Department also conducts a fundraising mud sale in May and holds chicken barbecues throughout the year. The Weaverland Valley Fire Department was formed in 2013 through a merger of the Terre Hill Fire Company, which was established in 1910, and the Goodville Fire Company, which was established in 1912.
“I know they have some unique pieces, which is fairly typical of small fire companies,” said Kilhefner.

Last year’s EMHC inaugural resource fair was such a smashing success that organizers decided to bring it back for another go. The sequel to the initial resource fair will be conducted from 1 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, at CrossNet Ministries Youth Center, 110 W. Franklin St., New Holland.
The event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome.
“I think last year went well,” said Joan Yunginger, a member of EMHC. “We had vendors attend and people who were grateful. The feel will be inviting and welcoming. It’s everything we can think of to make it a positive event.”
While the focus of the resource fair is mental health, there will be other services and supplies made available to those who attend. EMHC’s resource fair will feature door prizes, giveaways and free
haircuts.
“The purpose is to push resources to people who need them,” said Ansari. “It’s what’s available in the community that people might not be aware of. When a lot of people walked in last year, they didn’t know their needs. It’s filling in the gaps.”
Some 25 vendors are expected to attend EMHC’s resource fair, a significant improvement over 2025’s total of 10. Among the vendors expected to attend are Union Community Care, Community Services Group, Align Life Ministries, New Holland Ambulance Association, Milton Hershey School and CrossNet Ministries.
“The best thing is we get to connect with people in our community,” said Yunginger. “Anytime CrossNet does an event like this, we meet new people and get a chance to know them.”

“We hope we’re getting the word out,” said Ansari. “Maybe those who enjoyed it last year will tell their neighbors, like ‘Hey, I think you can really benefit from this.’
“It’s OK to ask for help,” added Ansari. “We want to help. I think that’s why the committee was founded. Whether we know you or not, we still care.”
