Play Ball, 1864 Style
BY CAT SHANNON
Civil War-era baseball will return to Columbia on Saturday, Aug. 23, when the Keystone Club of Harrisburg and Monmouth Furnace battle it out in a doubleheader at Janson Park, 650 Cherry St., Columbia. The first game will start at 11 a.m., followed by lunch and a break at 12:15 p.m. The second game will begin at 1 p.m.
The free, family-friendly community event will mark the third summer in a row that the Keystones have played in Columbia. Monmouth Furnace will make the trip from Freehold, N.J.
Vintage base ball (how it was originally spelled) is played by the rules of 1864. The players wear period uniforms and use terms like “tallies” for runs and “hands” for outs. Despite its vintage style, the game is a real game, not a gimmick, with sportsmanship on display
at all times, said Mark Stewart, a Columbia resident, sports historian and member of the Keystones since 2022. He noted that the game has been referred to as a “Civil War re-enactment with real bullets.”
While the 1864 rules may seem quirky, the game played at Janson Park will still look familiar to even casual baseball fans. There are two major differences.
The 1864 season was the final one in which a batted ball caught after one bounce counted as an
out. Young men returning from the Civil War pushed to end this “bound rule,” leading to the adoption of the “on the fly” rule in 1865. Another hallmark of the 1864 game is that fielders played barehanded. Gloves didn’t become part of baseball until the 1870s.
“Bat and ball games had been played for decades by children, but baseball as an organized adult sport was only about 10 years old in the 1860s,” Stewart explained. “When you are in the field playing

Knowledge is empowering and emboldening. Information can open minds and lead to understanding that produces empathy and curiosity.
Some people who come to know reptiles come to love them. Those people have given reptiles a chance.
“Imagine if someone told you there’s this magical, mysterious world that’s existed all of your life,” said Jesse Rothacker, a 2000 graduate of Warwick High School, a herpetologist and the president of Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary. “That’s the reptile world, and it does exist. It’s a very complex world. Maybe if you hear that, you think, ‘I wonder if I can learn a little bit about it and see what all the excitement is about.’ That’s when you fall in love with these animals.”
Rothacker operates Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary from his home in Rapho Township. The organization includes a rescue/ adoption program and provides the foundation for Rothacker’s engaging, entertaining and educational reptile shows.

Callie Tomblin’s title may be program coordinator for Second Grace, but she’s actually an investment adviser. She’s helping her clients invest in themselves.
“I really believe in the social capital theory, where if people don’t have resources that many of us take for granted, they are kind of behind,” she said. “A lot of the women in our program are in that situation.”
Second Grace pairs young single
mothers - “Graces” - with trained advocates called “Sages.” Each Sage helps a Grace navigate life, whether that’s providing transportation to appointments or getting a Grace connected to community services like food banks or GED classes. Sages might also just spend time with their Grace in a positive way, socializing and offering connection.
There are currently eight women in the Second Grace program, which focuses on women between the ages of 18 and 25, although
“Half of what everyone knows about reptiles is not true,” said Rothacker. “Everyone thinks every snake is a copperhead. Once you understand that they’re not, you can learn new things about reptiles. If you can get past the fear, then you can unlock the fascination.”
Rothacker stages more than 300 45-minute reptile shows each year, both public showings and private performances. He teaches audiences about his forgotten friends at community

the organization will accept Graces outside of that age range depending on the circumstances.
Tomblin, who is pursuing a master’s degree in social work, said the program coordinator position appealed to her because she wants to make a difference. She came on board in May, and she’s excited about the goals she’s set for herself.
“Because we’re a nonprofit, there is so much we want to achieve, but it’s not always easy,” she shared. “My main goal right now is to get the program a vehicle, because over half of our girls don’t have transportation. Maybe we can teach the girls how to drive and also try to get vehicles for these girls. Not having reliable transportation is a struggle in Lancaster. It’s difficult for these girls to get to jobs or child care without transportation.”
Tomblin’s role also includes applying for grants, which she is currently in the midst of doing as she looks for a donated vehicle.
“This program isn’t like anything I have ever seen before, and I think it’s a program that’s really needed,” said Tomblin, noting that many of the women in the program are completely on their own. “I was telling someone the other day, ‘If I ended up homeless tomorrow, I would have 10 people who would take me in, but these girls don’t have that.’ They don’t have that support system.”
She compared Second Grace to programs like
Big Brothers Big Sisters for the social supports it provides. “Many of these women are just now entering adult life and the workforce, and they don’t have any help or resources,” she said. “We call them ‘at risk’ because they’re just surviving and trying to get through.”
She’s eager to work alongside the women as they find stability.
“We’re trying to help them with mentorship and anything we can help them with,” she said. “This is not a one-size-fits-all program. We want to ask each person, ‘What do you specifically need?’ and then we try to help them as much as we can.”
Second Grace began in 2021 when founder Candace Abel was moved to start the organization after volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate and noting that support was lacking for young mothers in the program.
“She saw this need, and she believes in this program,” Tomblin said. “She’s the reason this program is so amazing.” Abel founded the program in Mount Joy, but it currently operates out of Community Place on Washington, 105 E. Washington St., Elizabethtown. It serves women throughout Lancaster County.
Many of the Sages in the program have had personal experiences that help them connect with their Grace.
“A lot of the mentors involved with us have said things like, ‘I had a baby at 17, and I would have loved to have a program like this when I was that age,’”
Tomblin remarked.
The organization is always looking for women to serve as mentors or help in any capacity as a volunteer.
“We definitely need Sages, but if someone doesn’t want to be a mentor or they think that’s too much on their plate, we are looking for people who want to drive or provide child care at our meetings, or if someone is an expert on something, we’d love to have them come in and talk to the girls,” said Tomblin.
Women who are interested in becoming Sages may sign up for a training to be held on Saturday, Sept. 27. The comprehensive program will provide background on expectations and responsibilities of the Sages.
After the training, Sages are expected to set aside six to 10 hours a month to meet with their Grace.
“That can look like texting every week, phone calls, getting together to fill out a resume,” Tomblin said. “It can look like a lot of different areas of contact.”
She noted that the program is never lacking for Graces, so the need for mentors is great.
“We really need volunteers,” she said. “This program can help so many people out, and it doesn’t take a lot to make a difference in a Grace’s life.”

Program To Focus on Elderberries
The Horn Farm Center, 4945 Horn Road, York, will present “Elderberry: From Harvest to Syrup” on Thursday, Aug. 21, from 5 to 8 p.m.
Over the past several years, hundreds of American elderberry shrubs have taken root across the Horn Farm’s landscape. While these hardy plants support ecological health across the seasons, late summer is when the plants produce dark purple berries that are well-loved by birds and people alike.
Syrup made from
elderberry fruit is an immune-boosting preventative and remedy for ailments like colds and the flu. It also has a range of culinary uses, imparting a medicinal boost to drinks, ice cream, desserts and more.
Attendees at the upcoming program will take part in an in-depth exploration of the American Elder (Sambucus canadensis). While in the field, the group will tour the Horn Farm’s elderberry patches and discuss identification, ecology, ethnobotany and
harvesting in wild contexts. In the kitchen, after harvesting elderberries from the field, the group will learn the process of making medicinal syrup from start to finish.
Attendees should bring a drawing pad and pencil for sketching and notes, and they should dress for the weather. The event will take place rain or shine. For more information, including the fee schedule, and to register, visit www.horn farmcenter.org/classes and choose “Elderberry: From Harvest to Syrup.”

“I’m a little bit of a performer. Some people call me a reptile comedian,” said Rothacker. “We want people to have fun. Folks have a chance to pet a reptile or touch a snake. You’re going to get a chance to meet the friendliest reptiles you’ve ever seen. I’m playing with the audience. I’m joking with them. If you’re thinking you’re going to sit still, we’re probably not going to allow that. We want to pull the audience’s energy into the room.”
Of the nearly 100 reptiles currently residing at Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary, about half of them are available for adoption. There are requirements and an application process involved with adopting reptiles, but the facility is not open to visits from the public.
“If I know there are reptiles out there who people want to give up, I’ll rescue them,” said Rothacker. “Owners pass away. We definitely do adoptions, but we’ll also help network. We can’t say
yes to all requests, but we can connect those trying to find reptiles new homes and those who are willing to adopt. Adoption used to be most of what we did, and we still do it, but the education side has taken on a bigger role.”
There are more than 11,000 species of reptiles in the world.
Reptiles are broken down into four major categories: snakes and lizards; turtles and tortoises; crocodiles, alligators, caimans and gharials; and tuataras.
“Biologically, (humans are) warmblooded, and reptiles are cold-blooded,” said Rothacker. “We have live births, and most of them lay eggs. We all need places to live, and we all need the right foods to be healthy. We think of snakes as being solitary, but they live on top of each other, and that’s typical. Understanding some of those relationships is fun to explore.”

Rothacker started Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary in Lititz before moving the operation to Rapho Township in 2004. But Rothacker’s love of reptiles can be traced to a curious
“You could say that the reptiles picked me,” said Rothacker. “Ever since I was a little kid, I was drawn to them. I have memories of catching turtles and petting snakes as a teenager. When I got into the reptile world,
I realized there are a lot of people who are in it for the short term. Once I had one pet snake, I realized it was so much fun that I wanted more of them.”

Sew Much To See and Do at Quilt Show
BY CAT SHANNON
The American Quilter’s Society (AQS) QuiltWeek show is not your grandmother’s quilt display. It’s a full-on celebration of creativity, color and craftsmanship that will leave even non-quilters in awe.
“People will be blown away by what they see,” shared Michelle Renee Hiatt, director of AQS. “People who don’t quilt may have an image in their mind of what a quilt looks like, but they will be surprised by what these quilts look like. Even if you are not a quilter, if you have a love of art and fiber, it’s worth coming to the show to see the talent that’s out there.”
The QuiltWeek show will be held from Wednesday, Sept. 10, through Saturday, Sept. 13, at Spooky Nook Sports, 75 Champ Blvd., Manheim. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday through Friday, Sept. 12, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
The show will feature workshops, lectures, special events and more.
“There will be classes in color, technique, appliqué, fabric painting,” Hiatt said. “We also offer classes to learn how to quilt on domestic, sit-down longarm and longarm machines. Those are classes you don’t often see.”
Many of the instructors offer kits for sale, and the machines necessary to work on the projects will be on-site, she said.
“This is also an excellent opportunity to learn,” she noted. “If you are thinking about purchasing a sewing machine, this gives you the perfect opportunity to try all these machines and see what’s right for you. There are all levels of classes.

There’s something there for each person.”
National instructors will offer classes, and hundreds of quilts will be on display throughout the show, including just under 400 contest quilts in eight categories as well as almost 300 special exhibit quilts.
“The variety and quality of these quilts is incredible,” Hiatt said. “It’s really inspiring to see all the different types - modern, hand-quilted, machinequilted, applique, piecing. No matter what type of quilter someone perceives themselves to be, they will find quilts similar to their tastes as well as quilts that will push them to start thinking outside the box.”
Instructors will include nationally known quilters Sue Cleveland and Nancy Mahoney, along with a variety of unique exhibits.
“Pay attention to the quilt exhibit by the Two of Us,” Hiatt recommended of the exhibit featuring works by Pat Holly and Sue Nickels. She also highlighted “Beyond Tradition,” which includes abstract quilts on loan from the National Quilt Museum. Another exhibit will spotlight a creativity challenge that began last year when members were invited to create artwork on seven-inch blocks, all with the theme “My Dream (fill in the blank) Cabana,” resulting in 75 pieces that have been hung together.
“It’s quite striking to see,” she said. “The pieces are small, but the amount of work that went into them is impressive.”
More than 100 vendor booths will be on-site at the show, highlighting local, national and international participants.
AQS was founded in 1984

Quilt Show
by Meredith and Bill Schroeder. The current CEO is their grandson.
“Our goal is to make sure quilters receive the recognition they deserve,” Hiatt said. AQS holds four shows a year, including one at its headquarters in Paducah, Ky., and awards thousands of dollars in prizes annually. Other sites are chosen for their impact on the fiber-arts industry and attract people from all over the country.
“Lancaster is one of those shows. It’s a destination show for a lot of people,” Hiatt explained. “We have bus tours that come in from New England just for this show.” While the Paducah show draws upwards of 35,000 visitors,
Hiatt noted that Lancaster’s show typically brings in up to 17,000 people.
“Lancaster is our only non-convention-center show,” Hiatt said, noting that the Nook has proven to be an ideal location. “The lighting is fantastic, and the floor, which is used for sporting events, is easier to stand on than concrete. Many of our attendees and vendors remarked on the comfort of the floor.”
Lancaster’s long tradition of fiber arts also makes it an ideal location for the show, she said.
“We always look for areas that have a high demographic of quilters,” she stated. “We are always looking to move forward with promoting what our founders set out to do: give national recognition to quilters and their work.”
Knaub To Retire From Choices Healthcare
Choices Healthcare, the parent organization of Hospice & Community Care and Hospice of Central Pennsylvania, has announced that its president and CEO, Steve Knaub, will retire on Wednesday, Dec. 31, after more than 27 years of service. Knaub steered the organization through significant achievements and growth and fostered relationships with health care partners and the community.
Knaub’s career with Hospice & Community Care began in 1998 when he joined as vice president, chief financial officer. He became the chief operating officer in 2002 and the president and CEO in 2011. Under his guidance, the organization evolved into Choices Healthcare in 2024 and now serves thousands of patients and families across central Pennsylvania.
Knaub led several initiatives, including the expansion of the Essa Flory Center in Lancaster, the opening of the Bob Fryer & Family Inpatient Center and the Pathways Center for Grief & Loss in Mount Joy, and the expansion into York County in 2012. He was also instrumental in the affiliation between
Hospice & Community Care and Hospice of Central Pennsylvania, bringing together two nonprofit organizations with a shared mission to enhance access to quality end-of-life care.
Knaub, a graduate of Shippensburg University with a degree in business administration, began his professional journey in public accounting before dedicating his career to nonprofit health care.
The board of directors is conducting a national search for Knaub’s successor, aiming to ensure a smooth transition and continued momentum for Choices Healthcare.
Hiatt recommended registering early for classes as they fill up quickly. Tickets for admission to the show may also be purchased in advance or on-site. For details on QuiltWeek and registration information, visit www.american quilter.com and click on the “Shows and Contests” tab.
