Summer camp will teach kids about the early 18th century
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Part of Mennonite Life’s mission is holding, honoring, and preserving stories and artifacts related to the Mennonite community and interrelated communities, Lydia Nolt said.
The summer camp, Discovery Days at the 1719 Museum: Celebrating Culture Through Craftsmanship, is an ideal way to do just that.
Discovery Days, a weeklong camp for youths ages 11 to 15, will be held Monday, June 9, through Friday, June 13, from 9 a.m. to noon each day. The 1719 Museum is located at 1849 Hans Herr Drive, Willow Street.
There is a fee to attend the camp, which is Mennonite Life’s first summer camp since the COVID-19 pandemic. All participants must be registered by
Friday, May 23. Go to https:// mennonitelife.org/events/ to register.
“Our hope is that we engage middle-grade learners with the history of the local people,” said Nolt, a museum educator who plans and coordinates public programming in addition to working with school groups. “The 1719 Museum interprets both the lives of the Conestoga-Susquehannock people who lived along the Susquehanna River in the 16th and 17th centuries and also the first Swiss-German Mennonite immigrants in this area and how their lives are intertwined.”
Day camp sessions include three hours of guided instruction and activities at the 1719 Museum.
Participants will visit a reproduction Lancaster longhouse that the Conestoga-Susquehannock would have lived in as well as the
Hans Herr House, which was constructed in 1719.
The Herr House, built by Christian and Anna Herr, is recognized as the oldest surviving house in Lancaster County and the oldest original Mennonite meetinghouse still standing in the Western Hemisphere.
During the summer camp, a focus is placed on arts and craftsmanship.
Kids will learn about what Nolt called the “beautifully practical” tools used by both the Conestoga-Susquehannock and the Swiss-German Mennonite immigrants and have the opportunity to make pottery similar to what was made in that era.
There will be a presentation on fiber arts such as weaving and beadwork using materials common in the day like reeds and flax. Kids will experiment

Historian Elizabeth M. Reese believes lessons from the Marquis de Lafayette’s tour of the United States 200 years ago still resonate today.
Lafayette’s Grand Tour will be the topic of Reese’s speaking engagement at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 18, at Historic Rock Ford, 881 Rockford Road, Lancaster. Reese’s presentation, part of the museum’s Lafayette Lecture Series, will be held on the first
floor of the Rock Ford barn, which will open to guests at 1:45 p.m. There will be an entrance fee, and the ticket will include admission to the Snyder Gallery, on the second floor of the barn, and the 2025 Focus Exhibit, “1825: Lafayette in Lancaster.”
The gallery will close at 4 p.m.
Preregistration is strongly encouraged and can be made at www.historicrockford.org/ special-events; tickets will also be available at the door if the event is not sold out in advance.

There are different topics, different subjects. It’s a different kind of learning. It’s a different kind of teaching.
At the Brownstown campus of the Lancaster County Career and Technology Center (LCCTC), students are encouraged to explore fields they are interested in. That type of empowerment broadens horizons.
“I can walk through our school, and I can go from one world to another,” said Justin Bruhn, principal at LCCTC-Brownstown.
“It’s really amazing what’s under our roof. I like to walk into programs and say, ‘What are you doing today?’ It’s just a great environment. There’s enthusiasm. There’s ambition. There are a lot of students finding their ways. Some are finding how they learn best.”

Couple marks
50th anniversary
Elmer and Carol Ann Zimmerman Stoltzfus celebrated their 50th anniversary with a surprise celebration.
Elmer and Carol began dating after traveling to Guatemala on a youth mission trip in June 1972. They were married on March 29, 1975, at Calvary Monument Bible Church, Paradise, by the Rev. Clarence Lefever. They currently reside in Willow Street and formerly lived in Akron.
group has been performing as a family for 28 years. The Hyssongs perform at more than 225 events each year throughout the United States and Canada. The trio ministers in churches and auditoriums and on gospel singing cruises, as well as on television and radio. Additionally, the group has sung to audiences of more than 12,000 people on the main stage at the National Quartet Convention and performs annually at Dollywood and Silver Dollar City.
The trio’s music can be heard on Southern gospel radio stations and Sirius XM Enlighten. Its most recent song, “There Is a God,” along with “Choose Life,” “Run the Race,” “I Tell Them Jesus,” and “Let the Hallelujahs Ring,” earned the No. 1 spot on the Singing News Radio Chart. The group was awarded the Singing News Fan Award for Favorite New Trio 2014 at the National Quartet Convention, Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Every year since then, it has been voted Top Ten Trio of the Year. Absolutely Gospel Music listed the group among 10 artists to watch in 2015, and its CD “Faith & Family” was voted a Top 10 Album of the Year in 2017 by Singing News fans.
A freewill offering will be received to support The Hyssongs.
They are the parents of Jeremy Stoltzfus, husband of Djaneta Ciobotari; Coralie Amy Marble, wife of Jay Marble; and the grandparents of four.
The anniversary celebration was held at the home of Jeremy and Djaneta. Djaneta’s mother, Ana, was able to attend, as she was visiting from Moldova. The Stoltzfuses will also celebrate with a family trip to Massanutten Resort in Virginia in July.
Elmer has been an over-
the-road truck driver for 55 years, the last 35 of which he has worked for Dart Container in Leola.
Elmer continues to work as a yard jockey at Dart in Lancaster.
Carol is retired. She worked for the gift shop at Good ’N Plenty Restaurant for 15 years and Huber, Drewes, & Kendig for many years during income tax season. She now volunteers at New Hope Community Closet in Quarryville.
Elmer and Carol greeted people at Calvary Church, Lancaster, for many years, and they now attend Grace Church at Willow Valley, Willow Street.
Camping options available
The Pennsylvania Campground Owners Association (PCOA) encourages members of the public to experience the great outdoors through camping in 2025. Although some federally
operated campgrounds are closed this season due to staffing shortages, plenty of campsites across the state are open for reservations.
PCOA’s 220 independently owned campgrounds offer more than 37,000 campsites featuring amenities and outdoor activities. The campgrounds have a variety of camping options, including tent sites, big rig friendly campsites, and unique outdoor lodging units. Many have weekday availability and offer lower rates during non-peak times. A full list of PCOA parks is available at www .pacamping.com, where people may also request a free copy of the printed “Pennsylvania Campground Directory.” For information about outdoor lodging options, visit www.paout doorlodging.com.
In addition, Pennsylvania’s public lands provide outdoor recreation with no day-use entrance fees.
with the illuminated script Fraktur, a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch art form associated with reading and writing, Nolt said.
“Our idea isn’t that this will just be like an art camp or day care fun and games,” said Nolt. “Of course, we want it to be fun, and I think it will be fun, but what’s guiding this whole thing is to have the campers think about how crafts and art are passed down through generations.”
Nolt hopes kids will mull the answers to several questions: How does this connect to our lives today? How are arts and crafts tied to where people live based on the types of materials used and resources available? How do the practices of the indigenous community relate to the practices of the Mennonite immi grants and vice versa?
aims to foster a world where people connect across boundaries by knowing and valuing each other’s stories, histories, traditions, lives, and cultures. “Specifically with the 1719 Museum, (the purpose is to) create informed community members who are ready for healthy discourse and to build historical empathy,” she said.
Nolt added that it is important to get kids interested in history at a time where they are being shaped and molded and getting curious about stories.
“My hope is at the end of the camp, the campers will use what they’ve learned throughout the week and create something using the techniques they’ve learned that will tell their own story about what it’s like for them living here in Lancaster
Open Streets Lancaster slated
The Lancaster Recreation Commission (Lancaster Rec), in partnership with the City of Lancaster and Lancaster Bikes, will host the 10th annual Open Streets Lancaster on Saturday, May 10, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Since its launch in 2014, Open Streets has focused on encouraging active lifestyles and strengthening community ties. For one day, Lancaster’s streets will transform into a car-free playground where residents can bike, rollerblade, skate, walk, and run; any form of active transportation is encouraged.
The event will include dozens of community vendors, nonprofits, food trucks, live music, and interactive activities for people of all ages. Last year, Open Streets featured gym-
nastics instruction, martial arts, skateboarding, and bike repair stations.
For more details on Open Streets Lancaster, including sponsorship opportunities, visit www.lancasterrec.org/ openstreets.
Since 1909, the Lancaster Recreation Commission has been dedicated to providing recreation and learning opportunities for Lancaster residents. Focused on neighborhood-based programs for people of all ages, Lancaster Rec places a special emphasis on accessible activities for children in schools, parks, and playgrounds. In 2024, Lancaster Rec began a new chapter: the renovation of the former Price Elementary School into a state-ofthe-art recreation center. To learn more, visit www .lancasterrec.org/newrec.

Community tent revival meeting set
Wesley United Methodist Church (UMC), 40 W. Main St., Strasburg, will host a community tent revival meeting on Saturday, May 10, at 6:30 p.m. The service will feature the singing of hymns accompanied by a local bluegrass group and preaching by pastor Bob Garvey. Following the service, an ice cream social will be held in the fellowship hall. Wesley UMC has a long history in Strasburg. Established in 1795, it has gone through many changes, with the present church built in 1893. Tent revivals, or camp meetings, were popular in the early formation of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America. From 1832 to 1839, there were several large tent revivals in the Strasburg and Paradise areas. The church membership grew through these meetings. For more information, call the church office at 717-687-6392.
from pg 1
A historian based in Washington, D.C., Reese has worked as an interpreter at historic sites on the East Coast, and has been published in Time magazine, The New York Times, and C-SPAN.
Reese’s first book, “Marquis de Lafayette Returns: A Tour of America’s National Capital Region,” was published in 2024. There will be a limited number of copies available for purchase and signing by Reese.
Historic Rock Ford curator Sarah Alberico said, “I attended a presentation on Lafayette’s national tour that Elizabeth recently gave to the York County History Center and thought she had such a wonderful presentation. … I think it’s really important to support other young professionals in the field. Elizabeth just released a book about Lafayette, and she’s a spectacular presenter, so I was delighted that she agreed to come and present at Historic Rock Ford. We really look forward to having her here.”
A French nobleman, Lafayette is a consequential figure in American history, revered here and in his home country.
Inspired by the cause of the American Revolution, Lafayette paid for his trip from France and used his connections to help generate funds for the war effort. He became a major general at the age of 19 and later commanded American forces in the Battle of Yorktown, the war’s final major battle.
“Lafayette is the personification of selfless service and core American values,” said Reese.
As the United States approached its 50th anniversary as a nation, President James Monroe invited Lafayette to return to the country to instill a sense of patriotism and help bridge political divides that arose following the War of 1812, said Reese. “Monroe wanted the people of the country to begin seeing themselves as collective Americans rather than simply residents of isolated states,” she said.
People rallied around Lafayette’s return, traveling for miles to see him back when it was rare for most to leave the county where they were born.
The Frenchman went to all 24 states and stopped
in Lancaster July 27 to 29, 1825, visiting Revolutionary War veterans and attending balls in his honor. The city named a hotel, street, and elementary school in his honor.
Reese feels a personal connection with Lafayette’s story. She joked Lafayette was “the only person in human existence who can say” he was friends with both Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, and Reese worked at the Hamilton Grange National Memorial, which was Alexander Hamilton’s home. She also worked at the United States Capitol, and the Rotunda was completed in time for Lafayette’s 1824 visit. The sandstone floor and walls today are from that time period. A portrait of Lafayette hangs in the United States House of Representatives.
Reese is currently employed as the senior manager of public programs and interpretation at Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House in Alexandria, Va.,
the home of Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis, George Washington’s step-granddaughter, and Lafayette visited Woodlawn multiple times during his tour. “I joke that Lafayette has kind of followed me around in my career,” Reese said.
The author noted that the popularity of the musical “Hamilton” introduced younger people to Lafayette, which is fitting because she said Lafayette is an example of how youths can make major changes in the world.
Reese is eagerly anticipating her presentation at Historic Rock Ford. “I have always loved the Lancaster area,” she said. “I am very, very passionate about local history and find it very interesting. When you focus on local history and let it take center stage, it’s an effective way to get people interested in history. It’s important that we understand how the past impacts our lives today and that our lives now will impact future generations.”

Ministry needs help to meet increasing demand
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Solanco Neighborhood Ministries (SNM) is seeking the community’s continuing support as it faces challenging circumstances.
SNM is a faith-based, nonprofit social service organization with a mission to serve and advocate for under-resourced individuals in the southern end of Lancaster County. SNM serves people in the Solanco School District, the Holtwood area in the Penn Manor School District and West Lampeter Township in Lampeter-Strasburg.
SNM’s director of programs, Todd Capitao, noted that the number of people who need help has “jumped dramatically” since Solanco Neighborhood Ministries moved to its current location, 14 S. Church St., Quarryville, two years ago.
“Over the last two years we keep seeing an increase in calls (seeking assistance) coming in,” said Capitao. “It keeps going up year over year.”
As of April, there had been more than 300 requests made this year compared to the same time last year.
“It’s not an influx of people who want an Easter meal or something like that,” said Capitao. “It’s mostly people facing hous-
ing concerns.”
SNM housing advocates are working with approximately 35 families in different stages of homelessness.
“We are trying to connect them with resources,”
Capitao said. “Sometimes they are able to use food resources we have, and then they have the money to save toward rent or utility bills.”
SNM works with landlords and searches for vacancies in apartment complexes. “From the negative side, we’re seeing more people coming in with those types of needs,” said Capitao. “The positive side is that we’re able to (help some of them find housing) through the different resources we have.”
Solanco Neighborhood Ministries operates the Solanco Food Bank, which has also been busier recently.
In the last two years, the food bank has gone from serving 220 unique families to 310 families (854 individuals), an increase of 29%, SNM executive director Teresa Dolan said. She added that the need for emergency orders has increased from 22 families to 87 families (206 individuals).
Rising prices at the supermarket and the possibility of a funding cut could
affect programs, although Solanco Neighborhood Ministries primarily relies on donations from the community.
SNM will be getting a big boost. Putting Others First, a local philanthropy
partnership, has contributed $20,000 to the ministry and is challenging the community to match the gift in the month of May. Anyone wishing to donate during May should call

Capitao said that matching challenges are an effective way of raising funds, and he is urging those interested in contributing to consider doing the same thing.
“This match opportunity is really important to continue extra giving because it is uncertain and we are busier,” said Dolan. “The numbers of families (needing assistance) has increased, and the cost of food items has increased, and we don’t turn anybody away.”
SNM distributes food Mondays through Fridays in the morning and afternoon with varying times, and the food bank is also open the second Saturday of each month from 9 to 11 a.m.
The lobby is open Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon, and the items usually include fresh produce from Giant and fresh bread from Wegmans.
“More food donations would be great, especially for our school program because that keeps growing,” Dolan said. SNM’s Student Weekend Eating Program (SWEEP) provides students in kindergarten through eighth grade with six meals they take home for the weekend. SWEEP serves 310 students, and that number grows every year, Dolan said.
SNM will hold a friendly “foodraising” competition between local churches from Friday, May 16, through Friday, June 20, that Capitao hopes will bolster the organization’s resources for summer.
Individuals who want to participate with the ministry should call or come in for an appointment. SNM will ask questions related to household, income, expenses, and needed resources, such as food, transportation, health care, GED resources, and clothing. “We then try to connect them with a resource advocate who can help them reach their goals,” said Dolan.

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 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 3.1mile 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
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 after Quiroz’s grandmother, Chellas became a Lancaster
culinary staple. With years of guidance from SCORE mentor Lou Davenport, Quiroz secured financing for his first location and recently expanded to a

400 runners may take part this year.

“In order to have a forward-moving world, it’s important to have educated citizens,” said Bruhn. “That’s what education does for students. It teaches them how to be learners. No matter what the profession, that’s going to be something that stays with them for the rest of their lives. If you’re going to last, you’re going to keep learning. The public education system tries to reinforce that idea. Having curiosity and ambition is something we can encourage in our students. Every student has a different journey.”
and security, power sport technology, commercial art, digital design/print media, interactive media and web design, and photography and multimedia communications. The school also offers six halfday programs designed mainly for juniors: introduction to construction, introduction to culinary arts, introduction to health careers, introduction to manufacturing, introduction to transportation, and introduction to viscom.
The Brownstown campus offers 12 LCCTC full-day programs designed mostly for seniors: cabinetmaking and wood technology, architectural CAD/design, electrical construction technology, heavy equipment operations and basic maintenance (HVAC/R), painting and interior finishes, plumbing, computer network
“We are very outcomeand goal-oriented,” said Bruhn. “We take pride in teaching our students very specific skills. They leave us knowing how to do things. The students are able to develop very real-world skills. I think that appeals to a lot of students. It’s different than what they get at traditional high schools. They’re skills that their peers couldn’t normally do.”
There are currently 475 students enrolled at LCCTC-Brownstown. They reside in all the communities of Lancaster County, and they hail from almost every local public school district, as well as some private schools.
“They’re like any other student out there,” Bruhn said. “We get the same variety as everyone.
They all have different backgrounds and different abilities. They’ve latched on to and identified a career pathway, and they’re getting more intense training.”
“There’s a perception that all of our students are going to seek employment right after high school,” added Bruhn. “The reality is that they’re headed in a ton of different directions. It varies from program to program. Some students have jobs lined up. Some pursue postsecondary edu-
cations. Some of it depends on the students and what their ambitions are.”
The Brownstown campus of LCCTC employs about 60 individuals, 20 of whom work as program instructors.
“Our staff is incredible,” said Bruhn. “Our staff came directly from their industries. They were experts before they came to us as teachers.”
LCCTC was originally established in 1966 as Lancaster County Area Vocational-Technical School before changing to its current name in the late 1990s. The school built campuses in Brownstown, Mount Joy and Willow Street in the early 1970s.
“We (the three campuses) all have similar goals, and our students attend for similar reasons,” said Bruhn. “What differentiates Brownstown is our programs are unique and not duplicated at the other campuses. I think each campus takes its identity from the programs offered at each place.”

The Biblical Tabernacle Experience first opened in Lancaster County in May 1975, offering an immersive connection to an ancient story. Guiding guests through several chapters of Exodus, the multimedia experience features a mural and a detailed replica of the tabernacle as it is described in Scripture.
Throughout the past five decades, staff members have welcomed more than one million guests from around the world to experience the tabernacle. Today, showings are available in English, Spanish, and Chinese, with Korean to come later this year.
