New Holland Band day planned
Dementia - One size does not fit all
Dignity in Awareness event set
BY ANN MEAD ASH
“I’m excited about this,” shared Allison Cuthie, director of ForgeWorks, a division of Garden Spot Village (GSV). “So often you have (dementia education) conferences for health care workers or the family, but who offers a conference for the person living with dementia?” Working with experts in the field, Cuthie has developed just such a conference in coordination
with Dementia Awareness Week, which will be observed from Monday, May 19, through Sunday, May 25. “It’s very honoring of their value at a time of life where they may not feel they have value or a role,” explained Cuthie.
The first Dignity in Awareness conference for care partners and people living with brain changes will be held at GSV, 433 S. Kinzer Ave., New Holland, on Thursday, May 22. Doors will open at

Mike Ressler, longtime euphonium player with the New Holland Band, remembers well his first days as a member at the age of 15. “I couldn’t drive, and I didn’t know anybody,” recalled Ressler. “My first good friend in the band was Art Futer, and he was 65.” Ressler, who is now retired himself, noted that Futer, who played drums in the band and founded the New Holland Band Museum, drove a large station wagon that was used to transport percussion instruments. “(Futer) would talk band history and (about) all the bands in the county,” stated Ressler. “That’s how I was initiated into the history of the New Holland Band.”
Now, Ressler, chair of the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) board, and board member Brian Frankhouser are working to absorb the New Holland
Band Museum collection into the NHAHS archives and exhibits. Frankhouser lauded Ressler for serving as the bridge between the two organizations. “This project couldn’t happen without Mike, who has coordinated everything,” Frankhouser said.
To commemorate the joining of the two entities, a special New Holland Band drop-in event will be held in the Steve Loewen Community Room, 207 E. Main St., New Holland, on Sunday, May 18, from 2 to 4 p.m. “At 3 p.m., there will be a (brief) program to talk to folks about the history of the band and the museum itself,” noted Ressler. An NHAHS room located adjacent to the community room has been designated by the historical society to use for band exhibits, and Ressler plans to have information about Futer available in that room. There will also be other exhibits in the community room, and the NHAHS Museum,

A change of season and venue
5K relocates to Leola
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Back in 2018, a nurse on staff at the Clinic for Special Children, then located in Strasburg, suggested a 5K fundraiser. “Keturah Beiler, who was a runner, really spearheaded the effort to get the 5K started,” recalled Kelly Cullen, marketing and communications manager for the Clinic for Special Children. The 5K became an annual event, and was even held virtually in 2020 when COVID-19
restrictions made it difficult to hold in person.
In 2024, the 5K, which was traditionally held in September, was canceled as the clinic settled into its new home at 20 Community Lane, Gordonville.
For 2025, the fundraiser is back, but with a number of differences. “We changed the season,” noted Cullen, who added that the run has moved from September to May. The venue is also changing from the site of the former clinic
Looking forward to celebrating the transfer of New Holland Band Museum items to the New Holland Area Historical Society Museum are (from left) Fred Hughes, Brian Frankhouser, John Zimmerman, and Mike Ressler.

8 a.m., and the morning will kick off at 8:30 a.m. in the GSV chapel with a keynote presentation by a panel including speakers representing the four main types of dementia - Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia - as well as speakers who are living with dementia. The event will conclude at noon.
“The neat thing about this conference is that we wanted to make it as inclusive as possible and allow for people living with dementia to have an option to attend a conference that was applicable to them,” Cuthie shared. Workshops, which will be held following the keynote presentation, will run 45 minutes each. Participants may choose two sessions to attend. Care partners will be able to choose from several sessions, including a dementia simulation experience, changes in mobility, communication and approach skills, support group sessions, skill building, and self-care. “We will have some small support group-style sessions
with family members,” Cuthie pointed out. “(It will be) a chance for them to hear other people’s stories, ask questions, develop strategies.”
People experiencing brain changes will have options including an art class, a book study, an educational session, and a gardening class called “Dig Into Your Purpose.” Cuthie explained that the use of the term “brain changes” is intentional. “Dementia is a good umbrella, but there are a lot of kinds (of dementia),” she pointed out. “The more we can do to bring awareness to different types of dementia (the better),” she added. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all disease.”
In addition, local organizations that will have displays at the event will be the Alzheimer’s Association, The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, the Lewy Body Dementia Association, the Penn Medicine Alzheimer’s and Memory Care division, and Dementia Friendly Lancaster.
The morning will also feature hot beverages and a
light breakfast, along with giveaways.
Cuthie stated that the conference grew out of work that ForgeWorks is offering within the care community. “One of our primary areas of service is in dementia education and consulting,” she explained, noting that two dementia educators, who are staff members at ForgeWorks, are planning the seminar. The educators also work with local retirement communities, coordinate support groups, and are developing a dementia curriculum especially for the faith community.
Readers who wish to take part in the conference may visit www.theforgeworks. org or call 717-351-2500 to register. There is a fee to attend. Participation will be limited, but registrations will be accepted until the day of the event as long as space is available.
“We recognize that not everyone can come live at GSV,” noted Cuthie. “Our ForgeWorks arm is designed to bring GSV services to the community or other organizations.”

The Sierra Club - Lancaster Group, in collaboration with Pennsylvania Interfaith Power & Light (PA IPL), will offer a casual, family-friendly outing on the Welsh Mountain Preserve’s universally accessible trail from 2 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 17. The organizations are offering this activity in support of PA IPL’s 2025 Bike & Hike challenge theme, “Caring for Every Body,” which highlights the intersections of climate justice and disability justice. Participants will consider how outdoor opportunities are too often inaccessible to community members because of the limitations built into a trail or an activity’s design.
Welsh Mountain serves as the headwaters for the Pequea Creek and Conestoga River, both of which empty into the Susquehanna River. Its fully forested, half-mile accessible trail includes seasonal blooms of wild azaleas, low-bush blueberries, and wildflowers, as well as large flushes of mushrooms.
The trail is suitable for those using wheelchairs, mobility devices, and strollers, and parking - including handicapped-accessible parking - is available near the trailhead. Those
planning to participate should bring a reflective vest if they have one, as hunters may be in the preserve; vests will be provided for those without them.

Junior high students have a chance to show their ingenuity
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Students in grades six through eight are being presented with the opportunity to have their animated display be part of the exhibit at the Choo Choo Barn.
The tourist attraction, located at 226 Gap Road, Strasburg, has announced the first Choo Choo Barn Student Design Challenge.
Students have the chance to see their original, animated display become part of the Choo Choo Barn model train layout and win prizes.
“We can’t tell people to reduce their screen time unless we replace it with something else,” owner Gary Russell said.
Russell stated that the challenge allows students to showcase their creativity and engineering skills “to explore mechanical design, engineering, and animation principles.”
The first-place winner will have his or her animation brought to life by the Choo Choo Barn staff. The project will be permanently added to the display. The top three winners will receive monetary prizes and also receive four complimentary tickets to the Choo Choo Barn.
The deadline to submit entries is Sunday, June 1.
Students interested in participating should submit their detailed sketches, mechanical movement plans, and a written expla-
nation of their animation to Rae Vanni at rae@choo choobarn.com.
The animation projects will be judged on creativity and originality, functionality and engineering feasibility, accuracy of scale and clarity of drawings, and
quality of explanation.
The Choo Choo Barn Foundation sponsors a five-week school program that introduces students to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

The New Holland Band Museum had its origins in Futer’s West Broad Street home in New Holland in 1980. Futer, who died in 1998, collected a variety of instruments - originally of the period when the New Holland Band began as a fife and drum group in 1829. Futer, who also had a collection of American Indian artifacts in his home, housed the museum until 1983, when it moved to the New Holland Borough building on North Railroad Avenue. When the borough made plans to build a new home and sell the old building, the band and the New Hol -
land Community Library joined forces to build a new shared building on land donated by Garden Spot Village. New Holland Band president John Zimmerman reported that the band’s fundraising efforts contributed up to 30% of the funds needed to build what is now known as the ELANCO Area Library.
The band museum moved to the second floor in 1997, and Ressler reported that after the move, the museum was open three days a week.
“When it first opened, musicians came from all over the East Coast,” recalled Zimmerman.
“They all knew Art.” However, in the more than 40 years since the move to the building at 11 Chestnut Drive, New
Holland, the museum became increasingly less busy. “We weren’t seeing much traffic from the community, and it was increasingly hard to get band members to volunteer,” said Ressler, who noted that the band schedule keeps most musicians busy. In June of 2024, after much consideration, the museum’s collection was transferred to NHAHS. A generous donation, made by a friend of the band, created an endowment fund to support the collection into the future.
milch, and current director Fred Hughes. Zimmerman and Ressler, and Hughes noted that many band members have gone on to enjoy professional careers.
“The band, in the last 50 to 60 years, has developed a tremendous number of youths who turned professional,” said Zimmerman. “I couldn’t tell you how many.” Among them the group listed clarinet player Paul Eberly, trombonist Larry Witmer, and Jim McFalls, who will return as a guest musician at an upcoming band concert.
Cornet player Jay Custer, who accompanied Futer on archaeological digs, was inspired to earn his doctorate in archaeology and went on to teach anthropology at the University of Delaware.
The NHAHS Museum is open each Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no admission fee. Information about NHAHS is also available at https://nhhistorical.com or by searching for “New Holland Area Historical Society” on Facebook or @nhhistorical on Instagram.
The New Holland Band added clarinets and brass to its mix of musicians in 1842, but by 1846, the band was selling its wagon and instruments. In 1856, the band was reorganized as part of the Earl Infantry Company with Isaac Witwer as director beginning in 1857. In 1864, the band was enlisted as a group with the 203rd Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers in the Civil War. In 1865, the band returned to New Holland and practiced on the second floor of a building Witwer constructed on Main Street. Over the years, the band has evolved, and a number of directors have wielded the conductor’s baton, including M. Weaver Hagey, Floyd Reddig, Marlin Houck, Ken Lauder-
A dream hastened
BY ANN MEAD ASH
The question “What happens to a dream deferred?” is often quoted. Lenea DeTore is experiencing the opposite. “I wasn’t planning on doing this right now,” pointed out the 2016 Pequea Valley High School graduate. “I always wanted to start a coffee shop for people with disabilities (to work at), but I am a fulltime occupational therapist working with children with disabilities, and I love it. So, I wasn’t going to do this until I retired.”
The Caring Cup, which Lenea hopes to open on a spot of land located near Hatville Road and Route 340 in Gordonville, will be focused on helping parents of children with special needs who have aged out of many forms of care and are looking for fulfilling work.
ity of the plot of land.
“When the children age out, the parents don’t know what to do,” said Lenea, who noted that often an adult with a disability may require supervision. Lenea wants to bring a coffee shop that provides both supervision and employment to the Pequea Valley area. “It’s a very caring community,” she noted.
A few years ago, Lenea went to visit her greataunt. Her second cousin was present, and when she told him about her dream, he mentioned the availabil-
“That’s what started it,” recalled Lenea, who credits her husband, Nicholas, for encouraging and supporting her dream in myriad ways. “He said, ‘Do it now,’” she recalled, adding, “He got me my logo and domain for Christmas (2023), and I cried.” Lenea also noted that Nicholas filed her 501(c)(3) in early 2024. Not long after, that a fundraising opportunity presented itself. “Another cousin mentioned Sunrise Coffee, which is a local brewer in Intercourse,” said Lenea, who is now selling the coffee at www.the
caringcup.com to raise funds for her organization. In addition to Lenea and Nicholas, The Caring Cup board includes Merv and Carol King, Lydia Petersheim, Sammy Riehl, Josh Riehl, Lena Riehl, Lena King, and Ron Becker.
Up next, Lenea is planning a spring fundraiser. When asked what the event would be called, Lenea said she needed to think up a fun name, and she responded enthusiastically to the suggestion to call it “Filling the Cup.” The first Filling the Cup fundraiser will be held on Saturday, May 17, at King’s Homestead, 3518 W. Newport Road, Ronks. Food trucks, which will include Danny’s; Lapp Valley Ice Cream; and MS Catering, which will serve barbecue meals, will
open at 5 p.m., and Paradise Road, a five-member Lancaster band that seeks to share the Gospel through music, will play at 6:30 p.m. Lenea said that the event, which is “bring your own seating,” is free, but a freewill offering for The Caring Cup will be received. A silent auction will be held. Items that will be included in the silent auction are a pickleball net, a card table, an electric STIHL weed eater, two children’s baskets, a coffee basket, two tickets to “Noah” at Sight & Sound, two tickets to the Turkey Hill Experience, and six tickets to a Lancaster Stormers game. Larger items that will be auctioned will include a Blackstone grill; one month of advertising on a virtual billboard

go and we talk with the kids in school, they are excited to come and see the layout,” Russell said. “There have been numerous times when a kid says, ‘What can I do to get involved?’ We want to encourage the creativity that the kids have.”
That was the genesis for the competition. “What we want to do is to grow this into the junior high market, so they can use their ingenuity to come up with different animations to make them more exciting,” said Russell. “We want to foster that imagination that the kids have and reward them for that. We are very interested in what people are saying and what they would do to make our layout better.”
Russell has already received positive feedback. “It’s going over much better than I thought because this is something the kids really like,” he said. “Besides the fact there is a prize at the end, I think the money
is second nature. I think what really is driving it is they have ability to put their handiwork (on display) and be part of our layout. We’re going to put their name on it, so people know it’s from them.”
The Choo Choo Barn was established in 1961 and features a display where firefighters respond to a house on fire and squirt real water to put out the “blaze.” Another animation shows members of the Amish community building a home.
“We are known for our animations, and we basically bring the train layout to life,” Russell said. “A lot of people have trains and buildings and things like

ELANCO Library, 11 Chestnut Drive, New Holland, has announced its new StoryWalk, “Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring” by Kenard Pak.
StoryWalks are designed to encourage both reading books and taking a walk, with a view to promoting literacy, parental involvement, physical activity, and positive community relationships. People of all ages are encouraged to read a children’s picture book while walking along a short path, sometimes with prompts to discuss a question or do an activity
at each post.
The local StoryWalk is a joint venture between ELANCO Library and Garden Spot Village. Garden Spot Village installed the posts and the first book, and ELANCO Library will select and install a new book approximately every three months.
People are welcome to walk the path and read the book at any time. The book’s pages are displayed on the black stands in front of the library and on the Garden Spot Village campus.

Many of the animations have been in operation since the Choo Choo Barn opened. “We have a very, very long history of the animations, and we’re just getting better and better at it,” Russell said.
Now junior high students will get the chance to be part of the magic.

in Strasburg to the Leola Produce Auction, where the clinic has held its annual auction each June for a number of years. While the route for the 5K, which will be closed to traffic, will be different, Cullen noted that the course will exhibit much of the same kind of charm for which the original route was known. “Our old route was out and back, but this is a 3.1-mile loop,” said Cullen, who added, “It will have similar scenery. It passes an Amish schoolhouse and farms. We are keeping the same ambiance,” she said of the course, which she noted has “rolling hills.”
“It’s right in the heart of Farmersville, Leola, Brownstown,” said Renny Magill, development director with the clinic.
The seventh annual
Clinic for Special Children 5K will be held on Saturday, May 17, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Leola Produce Auction, 135 Brethren Church Road, Leola. Those wishing to participate may register at www.ClinicforSpecial Childrenorg/events/5k. Paper registrations may be picked up at the clinic. Registration on-site on the day of the event will be held from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. Packet pickup will begin at 7:30 a.m. as well.
The race will be chip timed, and is open to runners, joggers, and walkers. Medals will be awarded to the first overall male and female finishers. Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers in the following age groups: age 14 and under, ages 15 to 19, ages 20 to 29, ages 30 to 39, ages 40 to 49,
ages 50 to 59, ages 60 to 69, and age 70 and up.
A Kid’s Color Fun Run will be held following the 5K. There is a cost to take part in the short run, which is open to children age 10 and under.
“They wear white shirts, and color is thrown (on the runners),” said Cullen. “They get a little treat in the end,” she added, noting that about 30 runners have participated in the kids’ run in the past but that she anticipates more this year.
Indeed, according to Magill, the 2025 event has seen increases in participation in a number of areas.
“We are really excited,” he noted. “We are up about 40% in sponsorships this year. We see that as an affirmation of the change in venue.” Magill added that companies that have supported the run in the
past, such as presenting sponsor Nemours Children’s Health, are helping fund the run this year and that new sponsors have stepped up.
Cullen added that the number of runners who have registered is up as well, leading organizers to project that more than 400 runners may take part this year.
All funds raised by the event will go to the mission of the clinic, which is to “serve children and adults who suffer from genetic and other complex medical disorders by providing comprehensive medical, laboratory, and consultative services, and by increasing and disseminating knowledge of science and medicine.”
“Generally funds go to help keep patient costs affordable,” noted Magill.
The Clinic for Special Children 5K (left photo) and Kid’s Color Fun Run (right photo) will both move to Leola for this year’s event, which will be held in May.

Lenea would love to see her fundraisers bring in a good portion of the $50,000 she needs to do land development at the construction site. “We are hoping to raise $30,000 to get that (land development) started,” she said, noting that the funds will help cover permits, water runoff studies, and other essential costs.
Asked when she hopes to open The Caring Cup, Lenea replied, “Dreamfully, a year to a year and a half … spring of 2027!” Lenea
would like the shop to sell a variety of coffees and teas along with local pastries, be open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. six days a week, and have a drive-through. She has already connected with the Clinic for Special Children and Community Care, both of which are adjacent to the land she hopes to build on, and she has drawings of the proposed building, which will feature seating inside and out.
The wonder of seeing pieces of her dream come true one at a time is obvious in Lenea’s excitement about her progress, and, as with her husband, she is clear about where she believes credit is due. “It’s a God thing,” she stated. “It makes me feel like it’s meant to be, and it’s supposed to happen.”

SCORE recognizes small business owners, mentors
To celebrate Lancaster and Lebanon counties’ innovative small business communities, SCORE Lancaster-Lebanon hosted its 18th annual small business awards luncheon on April 17 at The Ware Center at Millersville University in downtown Lancaster. The event recognized outstanding small businesses, partners and mentors for their accomplishments contributing to Lancaster’s and Lebanon’s economy.
Winners included the Arthur Reeher Company, Chellas Arepa Kitchen, Perfect Pots, the WEPA Empowerment Center and White Rose Family Dental. The event included a buffet lunch and featured presentations from each of the winners.
When the Arthur Reeher Company, a family-owned independent
insurance adjusting firm, asked manager Brian Miller to assume ownership of the 65-year-old business, Miller was excited but also nervous, as he had no prior experience in such a venture. Being a Marine, he knew he didn’t want to face the challenge alone, so he reached out to SCORE and was connected to Jerry Glenn as a mentor. With Glenn’s mentorship, Miller brought his wife, Stacia, aboard, making the company a profitable family-owned business once again. Chellas Arepa Kitchen, founded by Luis Quiroz to share his Peruvian heritage, grew from a food truck into a nationally recognized restaurant, ranking No. 5 on Yelp’s “Top Places to Eat in the Country” and featured in premier publications like Food & Wine Magazine. Named
