L-S principal will attend summit in Sweden
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S)
High School principal Benjamin Feeney will be studying abroad.
Feeney earned a scholarship to attend the annual Nobel Prize Teacher Summit on Sunday to Saturday, March 23 to 29, in Stockholm, Sweden.
The Nobel Prize Teacher Summit is an international event for educators held by Nobel Prize Museum. The initiative builds on the ability of the Nobel Prize to inspire people to seek out knowledge, to ask questions, and to attempt to understand and improve the world.
Feeney said a total of several hundred educators from 30 countries will attend the event. Feeney will be one of only 12 United States educators at the summit, which is held at the Nobel Prize Museum.
Nobel laureates will serve as the keynote speakers and will lead panel discussions and roundtables discussing educational issues. This year’s topic is “The Future of Democracy.”
“It’s an interesting topic and very relevant to the time and the landscape,” Feeney said. “It’s an exciting opportunity being able to hear from Nobel Prize winners as well as educators from around the world; to be able to have dialogue on current educational trends and issues is huge to help me grow in my practice.”
He looks forward to talking with fellow educators from other countries. “We’re focused on lesson clarity and engagement in our classrooms,” Feeney said. “How does that look in other countries and how are educators incorporating that across the
world, and how can we bring some of the ideas back into our daily practices with our teachers?”
Feeney said he has pondered two questions: “What can I

contribute to the summit, and what can I take away and bring back to Lampeter-Strasburg?”
“Some of the big things I’ll be discussing, in addition to the topic of democracy, is looking at the educator pipeline in other countries,” he said. “We know there are concerns with the
number of educators coming into the field moving forward. What trends are they seeing in other countries, and what recruitment efforts are they using to help encourage students to pursue the field of education? That’s one of the areas I’ll be looking to have conversations about with my colleagues at the summit.
“The second one will be understanding social and emotional issues that students are facing. It seems to be very much a trend nationally there are growing concerns about students’ mental health, but what is the feeling internationally, and what are other schools and countries doing to help those needs for our students?”
Feeney taught at Conestoga Valley for seven years before coming to L-S to work as an assistant principal for two years prior to becoming principal in 2016.

Jaime Santiago knows what it’s like to battle addiction.
He went through it and turned his life around.
Jaime (pronounced “HI-mee”) is the founder and executive director of Restart Training Center Ministry (RTCM), an organization that aims to assist those who are facing situations similar to the ones he encountered.
Jaime and his wife, Pam, have dedicated their lives to helping men who have undergone trauma and adverse childhood experiences as well as the men’s families.
Jaime said RTCM, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, helps men who experience anxiety, depression, resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness, and attachment issues.
He noted that these issues can make the men more susceptible to getting involved with life-control problems. “As a Christian resident discipleship mission, we provide housing, 35 hours of clinical and pastoral counseling, and education,” Jaime said. RTCM also provides marriage

Jaime has first-hand experience with a treatment program. He said there was “a lot of chaos” in his childhood home in New Jersey. “Whatever childhood trauma one could mention, I experienced as a child growing up in a dysfunctional home,” Jaime said. “That led me to not being taught how to function in life.”
As he got older, Jaime abused alcohol and experimented with drugs. “By the time I was 13, I was addicted and committing crimes to support my addictions,” he said.

Jaime was incarcerated for eight years. He became a born-again Christian 38 years ago during a stint in Lancaster County Prison.
Early during his time in jail, Jaime said he was consumed by dark thoughts before a cellmate convinced him to go to the chapel.
“The first thing he said to me was, ‘Do you want to go to chapel with me?’” Jaime recalled. “I said, ‘Huh?’
“Something physically just lifted off me,” Jaime said. “For the first time of my life, at the age of 20, I gave my life to God, and that was the first time I had peace and the first time in my life I felt loved. I knew from that very moment I would never be the same again.”
After getting out of prison, Jaime participated in Teen Challenge, which provides addiction treatment programs. Jaime established RTCM in 2015, and men first entered the building on Feb. 1, 2016. “You learn how to better help people,” he said. “You learn what

“As soon as I read about the opportunity, it was something I couldn’t not apply for,” Feeney said. He was selected for an interview based on his leadership qualities; accomplishments; and engagement in the local, state, and national education scene.
During the interview, he was asked what he aspires to learn and grow from through this experience, what he could contribute to this experience, and
what he hoped to bring back to help his school.
Feeney has never been to Sweden. He will have some free time to visit a Swedish school and government buildings and take local historic tours in Stockholm.
“(The school is) very happy and excited about it,” said Feeney. “I’ve got a lot of support, which is fantastic. I’ve heard from a lot of teachers, parents, and students, and they’re very excited I have this opportunity to represent L-S in this summit. I look forward to it, and I do really appreciate the support I get from the staff and the students.”
Mennonite Life workshop to build dwelling places for God
BY JEFF FALK
There are any number of different teaching methods, each one designed to match each individual’s learning style. Kinesthetic learning or experiential learning involves touching and performing hands-on tasks.
For some, that particular type of learning allows participants to understand subjects on a deeper level and remember them longer. It’s the style of learning that the Mennonite Life Visitors Center will employ during its upcoming workshop.
“Through my own background in education, I enjoy seeing people
engage in a learning experience and just seeing the light bulbs go off,” said Laura Metzler, who’s been the Mennonite Life Visitors Center’s manager for four years. “I like seeing people engaged. It’s just fun to see people learning. We can learn so much better when we engage the other senses. It’s a hands-on experience with this structure.”
The Mennonite Life Visitors Center, which is located at 2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster, will host its second annual Tabernacle Kit Workshop on Saturday, March 22, from 3 to 5 p.m. The educational and interactive workshop

PA Preferred highlights local touch
The benefits of buying local are many. In addition to financially supporting the region’s economy, buying local gives shoppers the opportunity to obtain fresh goods, including produce and dairy and meat products.
Thanks to PA Preferred, which was launched in 2004 as a brand identity for farmers and agribusinesses, it’s easy for consumers to identify
and purchase agricultural goods that have been grown and processed in Pennsylvania. The PA Preferred Act was signed into law in 2011, officially making PA Preferred the commonwealth’s branding initiative for local food and farms.
Products marked with the PA Preferred logo, or the ingredients used to make them, have been grown, harvested, or pro -
duced in Pennsylvania. When shoppers choose PA Preferred products, they have assurance that they are providing direct support to Pennsylvania farmers and agribusinesses, all while helping to strengthen the state’s economy.
PA Preferred also offers several other programs, including Homegrown by Heroes and Farm to School.

Ways to support local farmers
Farming has never been a vocation for individuals looking for easy work.
Farmers typically work long hours, braving the elements regardless of how unpleasant the weather may be.
All that hard work is intended to ensure that individuals who live in rural, urban and suburban communities have constant, readily available access to healthy foods. Such devotion merits support, and there are many things consumers can do to show their appreciation for local farmers.
- Buy fresh foods at a local farmers market.
Farmers markets are many foodies’ favorite places, but they aren’t exclusive to individuals with a passion for food. Everyone needs to eat, so why not eat foods grown locally, which are
often more fresh and appetizing than imported fruits and vegetables? Additionally, people looking to buy more than fresh fruits and vegetables may find an assortment of other delectable items at local farmers markets, where anything from homemade tomato sauces to locally raised fresh beef and pork might be on sale.
- Order directly from local farms. Some farmers have embraced the e-commerce revolution and have begun selling the foods they grow to consumers via their own websites. Research local farms and determine if it’s possible to buy directly from them. Farms may offer delivery or pickup, and consumers can enjoy fresh foods even more knowing that they helped farmers earn higher profits by buying directly from them.
- Check labels before buying in local grocery stores. Packaging labels indicate where fruits and vegetables came from. When possible, choose items produced by local farmers. These products may include fruits, vegetables, meat, or even desserts like pies. Locally produced foods often taste more fresh than items sent from overseas or distant farms, and consumers will likely feel better knowing they helped to support local farmers.
- Spread the word. Get the word out after a satisfying experience with local farms and farmers. Whether it’s buying food from farms or enjoying family days that let kids enjoy time on the farm, sharing positive experiences via social media or word of mouth can be a great way to inspire neighbors to support local farmers, as well.
Consumers can do much to support hardworking local farmers. In addition to feeling good about supporting their rural neighbors, consumers can also enjoy meals featuring locally grown, fresh foods.

The growth of green farming
Farmers have likely felt the need to increase production to meet the demand of a growing population, which may require employing more efficient measures to ensure maximum output. Unfortunately, efficiency doesn’t always mesh with sustainability, so commercial operations may have to make some modifications to find a balance between serving the public and protecting the planet.
growing plants. Both methods remove the need for soil.
Drip irrigation
Green farming utilizes different technology and practices in order to decrease detrimental impact on the environment. According to the farming resource NuFarming, agricultural operations have a significant impact on climate change. Simply adopting some new practices can lessen that impact.
on previously tilled agricultural land. Vegetation under modules also can contribute to lower soil temperatures and increased solar performance. Agricultural land managers can reduce energy costs and diversify their revenue streams with solar. Plus, they can market products to sustainability-minded customers.
Solar power Plants are not the only thing on a farm that can benefit from the sun. Farmers can convert a portion or all of their power needs to solar. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are benefits when solar companies and farmers work together. Solar developers reduce installation costs and upfront risk by placing solar modules
Solar is not the only renewable energy option. Farmers can incorporate wind and hydroelectric power, as well.
Crop rotation
This farming technique has been used for thousands of years and involves growing different crops in different seasons on the same land. Farmers reduce the chances of pests and diseases becoming problems in the soil because frequent crop changes prevent invaders from gaining a foothold. Farmers may use fewer fertilizers and pesticides as a result.
Hydroponic and aquaponic strategies
Farmers can improve productivity while also reducing environmental impact with these two growing methods. NuEnergy has stated that hydroponic systems grow plants in mineral solutions or in materials like perlite or gravel. Aquaponics involves raising aquatic animals in addition to growing crops.
The nutrient-rich water containing waste from fish and other marine life is reused as a medium for
Drip irrigation methods deliver water to the roots of plants through a series of pipes or tubes. Because water is not being sprayed into the air through sprinklers and other methods, less is lost to evaporation, and less water overall may be needed to provide for crops.
Plasticulture
Plastic seems like it may not have a purpose on farms, but recycled plastic, which is used in plastic mulch, can help produce plentiful crops with less water. Plastic mulches raise soil temperatures and insulate against evaporation so plants can grow faster and mature sooner. Invasive weeds also may be less likely to take root in plastic mulch or when crops are grown on black plastic.
Natural pesticides
To reduce reliance on chemical pesticides, farmers can introduce plants that pests tend not to like. For example, interspersing crops with plants that are natural bug repellants, such as basil, lavender, and lemongrass, may keep insects at bay. Alliums, chrysanthemums, marigolds, and other flowers planted nearby also may deter bugs.
Green farming can have a variety of environmentally friendly benefits, making it something more agricultural operations may want to consider adopting.
The strong link between agriculture and food security
According to government agencies, food security means all individuals, regardless of their physical or economic circumstances, have access to sufficient food to meet the dietary needs for a productive, healthy life. Food security is a more significant issue than people may recognize, even in fully developed countries. For
example, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service indicates that slightly more than 10% of U.S. households were food insecure at some point during 2021. In fact, estimates suggest more than 800 million people around the globe go to bed hungry every night.
The use of drones in farming
The farmers of yesteryear might not be too familiar with their surroundings if they were to visit a modern farm. While the men and women who made their livings as farmers decades ago would no doubt still recognize certain farm features that have withstood the test of time, they might not understand the inner workings of the modern farm, particularly in regard to the role technology now plays within the agricultural sector.
Technology has changed agriculture in myriad ways. The methods farmers employ to produce food and improve the efficiency of their operations has changed as technology has evolved. One of the more noticeable changes that’s hard to miss on modern farms is the use of drones.
Drones have been around for decades. Sometimes referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, drones can be utilized in ways that can save farmers money and protect the planet.
- Monitor crops: With a drone flying overhead, farmers can spot and quickly identify issues affecting their crops before those issues esca -
late into something larger.
- Analyze soil: Agricultural drones utilize complex mapping functions to gather data about the soil, including areas where it might be stressed. That information enables farmers to develop accurate soil samples that can be used to guide decisions in regard to irrigation and fertilization.
- Reduce waste: AgEagle notes that data gathered by drones can help farmers determine the vigor of their crops at various stages of growth. Such information can prevent overfertilization and overwatering, thereby reducing waste and runoff, benefiting the planet as a result.
- Plan: Drones can be used to collect data on crop growth and health at various times throughout the growing season. This data can help farmers develop more accurate predictions regarding harvest quality and crop yield, making it easier for them to plan ahead.
Agricultural drones are one of the many examples that illustrate how technology has changed and will continue to change the ways modern farmers conduct business.
Security
from pg 8
Food security and the agricultural industry are inextricably linked. Studies indicate that most of the people who go to bed hungry at night are smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture to make a living and feed themselves and their families. Supporting efforts to
strengthen the agricultural industry can help to combat food insecurity, as studies report that growth within that sector has been found to be at least twice as effective at reducing poverty as growth in other sectors. That trend may be due in part to the disproportionate percentage of people in need
who live in rural rather than urban areas. Data from the 2019 American Community Survey indicates the poverty rate in rural areas in the U.S. was 15.4% in 2019 compared to 11.9% in urban areas.
To help improve food security, individuals in rural and urban communities can voice their support for
efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector. They may also support this sector by purchasing locally grown food and shopping at farmers markets.
A thriving agricultural sector can ensure fewer people go to bed hungry each night and bolster the economies of rural communities.

“It’s an invitation to anyone who want to engage in a more personal relationship with the Lord,” said Metzler. “My biggest hope is that (people) learn the heart of the story of the tabernacle. It’s a story that’s as relevant today as it was in biblical times. Most of the people choosing to come have a basic understanding of it. But when you’re working with your hands, it takes the meaning to a different level. We would love for people to know that a replica of (the tabernacle) exists in Lancaster. It’s kind of a hidden secret in the county.”
The tabernacle kit event will begin with a showing of the 30-minute film “The Biblical Tab -
“A tabernacle is a very basic structure used as a dwelling place for God to live,” said Metzler. “It was portable. It wasn’t like the temple. As people hear about it, they will learn how it was built. (The workshop) teaches people how to approach Him and live with Him. It’s a way to see how we relate to an invisible, holy God. People can worship Him, and you’re actually in His presence.”
Metzler, Mennonite Life Visitors Center administrator Paul Garber and three other staff members will serve as instructors for the workshop.
“Staff will be there floating around, working with people and answering questions,” said Metzler.
A participant at last year’s Tabernacle Kit Workshop explores her project.
“We would love for people to engage in the story of the tabernacle in a fresh, new way.”
Mennonite Life was established in 1958 as the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society. Mennonite Life, which is sprawled over two campuses and is supported by 20 staff members and countless volunteers, welcomes 45,000 visitors from Lancaster County and beyond each year.
“Not enough people know about our mission,” said Metzler.
“There are many people who know we are here, but they don’t know what we do or what we’re about. Some people know pieces of the Mennonite story. We want to help churches and families know how we can offer hope and healing.”
“Our mission is to share the story of how God journeys with His people,” she continued. “We want to share that story with local people and beyond. We want to share our Mennonite life and Mennonite story.”

Participants will also take an hour-long train ride on the Black River & Western Railroad, founded in the early 1960s by a group of friends with an interest in steam railroading. The trip includes dinner at the Clinton Station Diner in a restored 1927 train car. The deadline for registration is Monday, April 14.

When Kathryn’s name was announced as the winner, her fellow competitors reacted with the same joy as if they had prevailed. “It was a sigh of relief,” said Kathryn. “When I won Lancaster, it was my first pageant ever. I wasn’t expecting it, and I was in shock. For this one it was like, ‘Oh my gosh! I did it!’ I was just so grateful.”
In her role as Miss Greater Reading’s Teen, Kathryn will spend the year attending several events in Berks County, including the airshow.
Kathryn earned the opportunity to participate in the Miss Pennsylvania’s Teen competition, which will be held Sunday, June 15, to Saturday, June 21, at Appell Center for the Performing Arts, York.
“Miss America has gone through some rebranding in recent years where looks are no longer the focus of what your score compilation is,” said Kathryn’s mother, Jozlyn Grodski. “The main part of your score is made up of your judges’ interview. While evening gown is still a portion of it, it’s not as big a part of your score as how well you speak and present yourself.”
Kathryn added, “It’s about who you are and not how you look.”
Miss Greater Reading’s Teen was Kathryn’s third competition of the year. After participating in Miss Philadelphia, she was a last-min -
ute entrant in the Miss Central Pennsylvania Scholarship Competition because that contest needed one more person to qualify as an official event. Kathryn brought home the People’s Choice award from the Miss Central Pennsylvania competition.
Jozlyn said before Kathryn started her scholarship competition journey, they “were not a ‘pageant family.’” They certainly are now.
Kathryn is grateful for the support of her “pageant family”: her mom and stepdad, Jozlyn and Reid Grodski; dad, Tim Davis; younger brothers, Mace Davis and TJ Davis; and older sister, Audrey Davis.
“It’s a family thing,” Kathryn said. “Even though I’m the one in the sash and crown and I’m the one the public sees, it’s all of us working together to make this happen.”
Kathryn first became interested in participating in scholarship competitions when she and some friends attended the Miss Solanco scholarship pageant in 2023. “I saw the girls on stage, and I was in awe of them,” she said.
Kathryn had an ideal community service initiative (CSI) with Phlebotomy Fam, an organization that she co-founded with Jozlyn to bring attention to blood donation events.
The idea for Phlebotomy Fam
came about in part because of her family’s tradition of donating blood and because of a first-hand experience in 2021. Kathryn suffered a concussion and 30 friends in a Lives Changed by Christ (LCBC) youth group also sustained injuries in a bus crash on the way home from a retreat.
A nurse later told Kathryn and Jozlyn that blood drives are happening all the time, but seats go unfilled because people don’t know where to go. “We decided we wanted to be an amplifier for those existing blood drives so people would know where and what time blood drives were happening,” Jozlyn said. Kathryn said she cried tears of joy when the Red Cross of Greater Pennsylvania partnered with Phlebotomy Fam.
Kathryn, who is working as a day care teacher, has studied at Debbie’s School of Dance since she was 2 and will pursue a career as a professional dancer. Kathryn plans to attend either DeSales University, Penn State (main campus), or Temple University in the fall. “The goal is to become a Radio City Rockette,” she said.
Miss Pennsylvania’s Teen competitors are tasked with attracting business sponsors. Kathryn has set a goal of raising $5,000. The woman who raises the most money is recognized at the state level. All the money goes directly to scholarships for women in Pennsylvania. For more information about local scholarship competitions and Phlebotomy Fam, go to https:// MissKathrynDavis.com.
“It’s really great to see what a community can do when they have something to rally around,” Kathryn said. “Being able to represent them not only as Miss Lancaster County’s Teen, but now as Miss Greater Reading’s Teen expands my reach in how I can help others and how others can help and support me. It’s so heartwarming, and it gives me so much hope. The power of that hope has transformed me as a person, and I see how much that hope has affected my community.”
Family to present concerts
A series of “Pollinating Music” concerts will be held at 7 p m. on Thursdays, March 13, April 10, and May 8, at the chapel of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 31 S. Duke St., Lancaster.
The series will feature works by composers whose last names start with B. The March 13 program will include Bach’s “Chaconne” for solo violin as well as Brahms’ “Hungarian Dances” for one piano four hands, Bartok’s “Romanian Folk Dances,” and Brahms’ Violin Sonata No. 1. Upcoming programs will also include works by Beethoven, Barber, Behrens, and Burleigh.
The performers will be violinist Michael Jamanis and his parents, pianists Frances Veri and Michael Jamanis. The younger Jamanis noted that he used to go along with his parents
on their performing tours when he was growing up. He also served as the page turner when they recorded Brahms’ “Hungarian Dance” in the 1980s. Bach’s “Chaconne” also holds memories for him, as he first learned the piece 30 years ago.
The program is presented by the Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) Fine and Performing Arts department. Admission is free of charge, and donations will be accepted for the LCHS Fine and Performing Arts department. To learn more about the program, email Michael Adams at madams@lchsyes.org.
For more information about Jamanis, visit www .michaeljamanis.com, search for @michael.jamanis on Instagram, or search for @michaeljamanis on YouTube.
Magagna breaks school record at state track meet
Lampeter-Strasburg High School senior Olivia Magagna competed at the PTFCA Indoor State Track and Field Championship on March 2 at Penn State University Park. In the process, Olivia broke the Lampeter-Strasburg 3,000-meter school record, which was previously set by Emily Kruger in 2003. Olivia’s time of 9 minutes, 57.57 seconds earned her a sixth-place state medal. Olivia is scheduled to compete in the girls’ U.S. championship at the New Balance Nationals High School Indoor Championships held in Boston on March 13. She will compete in the 5,000-meter run.
