Lampeter-Strasburg

Something fishy about this IU13 job experience

BY GEORGE DEIBEL

Teamwork and communication.

Life skills and learning support students from Penn Manor, Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S), and Solanco high schools honed those skills while stocking trout in local waterways this spring.

Jeffrey Schmidt, district officer for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s Bureau of Law Enforcement, oversees the process. “The longtime positive working relationship with the IU benefits the trout-angling public,” Schmidt said. “For me, it is personally enriching in working with the students, experiencing their collective enthusiasm, energy, and corollary sense of self-pride and reward in this annual educational, community service initiative.”

Schmidt noted he “promotes teamwork to readily accomplish the task at hand, as long as it is equally shared. (Students work) cooperatively and cohesively with students from other schools as well as the dedicated adult float stocking teams.”

Schmidt challenges students to transport the trout from the PFBC (Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission) stock truck to the water in two minutes.

“With limited oxygen and 25 trout on average in a five-gallon bucket weighing approximately 37 pounds in total, this purposeful community-service work is in practice a workout,” said Schmidt.

Andrew Yeager, a job trainer for IU13 who works with Penn Manor students, said, “The students get a different experience to see the process of how the ability to fish even starts. And they work in a

team environment. A lot of the other jobs we work, we do cross paths with a lot of students from other schools and other job trainers. It’s just a good opportunity for them to work in a different environment and give back to the community.”

Several Penn Manor students volunteered during three fish stocking trips, including one on the west branch of the Octoraro Creek on April 14. “A lot of the experiences we do participate in are paid experiences,” Yeager said. “It’s good for them to see there are other ways they can help out besides paid experiences.”

In addition to trout stocking, the students have done food prep in kitchens and packaging in warehouses. “The things we do prep them for real-world job experiences, and we simultaneously

continue to build their résumés and get them prepared for future employment,” said Yeager.

Penn Manor student Kevin Loreto is enjoying the job training program. “I love it,” said Kevin. “I like packing and rolling silverware and making food at a restaurant. It’s not too hard, and it will help me get a real job.”

IU job trainer Nicole Fornwalt, who works with L-S students, enjoys trout stocking because she says it builds a sense of community throughout the three school districts. “I hope my students get a love of nature and being outside,” she said. “I want them to learn how to communicate with one another and how teamwork makes a job a lot easier.”

L-S student Phoenix Garabo said, “It is really fun. I like the environment and how many fish

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.

There is simply nothing like one-on-one connections, human touch and personal interaction. They can lift spirits and change lives.

Those types of interactions are what Aaron’s Acres is built upon, and collectively they are the driving force behind the local nonprofit’s original program, summer camp.

“We accept participants with all disabilities,” said Elaine Burnett, who’s been a program director at Aaron’s Acres for 12 years. “Their needs vary, from hand over hand to behavior assistance to emotional and communicative assistance. With 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 staffing, we’re able to meet those needs. We’re able to meet those participants where they’re at. It helps us meet the child where their need is right now.”

“The traditional summer

The Choo Choo Barn Foundation sponsors a five-week school program that introduces students to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

“What we find is when we 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 that. We make them move.”

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

should have opportunities to enjoy summer camp regardless of their abilities. Everybody should have the opportunity to participate in programs like these. At Aaron’s Acres, we want to provide that for them.”

In 2024, Aaron’s Acres summer camps served 45 participants. But a shortage of seasonal staff counselors created a waiting list for participants.

This year’s edition of Aaron’s Acres summer camps will be held over three two-week sessionsJune 16 to 27, July 7 to 18 and July 21 to Aug. 1 - at New Holland Community Pool and Park, 400 E. Jackson St., New Holland. The camps are designed for residents of Lancaster, Lebanon, Berks, Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry counties, ages 5 through 21 with mental, behavioral or emotional disabilities.

Aaron’s Acres offers half-day summer camps from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or full-day summer camps from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Some of the camp activities include games; arts and crafts; swimming; therapeutic music; therapeutic horseback riding; and interactive entertainment like magicians, petting zoos and ventriloquists.

“We can only accept as many participants as we have staff for,” said Burnett. “The more staff we have, the more participants we can have. Last year, we didn’t have enough staff members to accommodate all the participants every two weeks. We’d like to accept 60 participants every two weeks. We need to hire more staff.”

Staff counselors must be 18 or older, and they are not required to have any specialized training.

“We will do all the training,” said Burnett. “Our counselors are generally made up of college students who are looking to go into special education or becoming

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania will offer two Photography 101 programs, building on the initial session in February. The programs will be led by railroad photographer and author Brian Solomon.

The second session will be held on Tuesday, May 13, from 10 a.m. to noon, and it will emphasize technique and the approach to indoor light. Solomon will use portable stationary lights to illuminate several prominent rolling stock exhibits in order to allow for better photographs.

The third session will take place on Tuesday, June 10, from 9 to 11 a.m., and it will focus on composition and the approach to outdoor light, weather permitting.

Solomon earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photographic illustration from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He produces a daily blog about railroad photography, and his articles and photography have been printed in many railway magazines. Solomon received the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society’s prestigious Fred A. & Jane R. Stindt Photography Award in 2020 for his lifetime achievements in railroad photography.

“It started when a parent came to our executive director (Risa Paskoff) and said, ‘School is over. Now what?’” said Burnett. “So that parent and

our executive director started this summer camp. Over the years, we’ve expanded the ages, and we expanded the programs. Then we started a weekend program. Last year, we expanded our programs to include adults.”

Nate Deen to speak at Christ’s Home dinner

Christ’s Home will host Nathaniel Deen, a movie producer and former child resident at Christ’s Home, as its guest speaker for this year’s fundraising dinner. The event will take place on Thursday, May 15, at 6 p.m. at Christ’s Home Community Center, 800 York Road, Warminster. Deen was the guest speaker at Christ’s Home’s spring fundraising dinner in 2022.

Deen’s most recent film, titled “Brave the Dark,” had its world premiere in January at the Fulton Theatre in downtown Lancaster.

Starring Jared Harris and Nicholas Hamilton, the film is about Deen’s early life struggles and how Stan Deen, an English teacher and theater arts director at Garden Spot High School, helped change his life for the better. The teacher’s unwavering support and kindness helped Nate find healing and a

true sense of family during a tough time in his life. “Brave the Dark” won the Overall Audience Choice Award at the Heartland International Film Festival. Inspired by his late teacher, Nate has enjoyed a career in the arts spanning three decades. Originally named Nathaniel Williams, he changed his last name to Deen in honor of his teacher and started the Stan Deen Foundation in his honor. The organization focuses on helping at-risk youths who have dealt with traumatic life events in the same way that Stan helped Nate.

The spring fundraising dinner will be red carpet-themed and will include a live interview

Solanco job trainer Bridget Stively said her students participated in eight trout stocking trips, including stops at Big Beaver Creek, Little Beaver Creek, Bowery Run, Stuart Run, Conowingo Creek, Fishing Creek, and Muddy Run Lake.

“It’s a great way to give back to the community, and the students learn to work together as a team,” said Stively. “It teaches them how to follow instructions and be ready for work.”

Solanco student Jordan Kroener said, “I like stocking fish because it’s good to do for other people to try to catch them. I like being able to go outside.”

Solanco students Hayden Rif -

fert and Harleigh Hendrickson both shared that they like being part of a team. “I enjoy bucket brigading,” Hayden said. Schmidt stated, “Students are to be commended in their active demonstration of those traits that will serve them well in all future pursuits: teamwork, persistence, and overcoming obstacles in working towards a positive outcome.”

He hopes the community recognizes the students’ contributions. “Trout anglers should take pause in pursuit of their daily creel and appreciate the volunteerism efforts that provide the basis for their successful outing, coupled with the ongoing generosity of riparian landowners in permitting fishing access,” Schmidt said.

from pg 10

the plans to open an outdoor space have been in the works for the last two years.

The outdoor space will feature a variety of handdipped ice cream flavors, classic and alcoholic milkshakes, a limited menu of top Decades food favorites and other fun beverage offerings - all within an outdoor patio space creating an oasis of lights and lush plants. An outdoor gaming space featuring cornhole and other classic outdoor games will complement the summer experience.

As the Decades team opens this new aspect of the business, guests are encouraged to check the Decades hours at www .decadeslancaster.com as well as follow Decades on Instagram and Facebook.
