Hart Enjoys Experience at Big 26 Classic
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Brayden Hart stated that baseball is his life.
Life has been exceedingly good this year.
After helping the LampeterStrasburg (L-S) High School squad to a district title, Brayden earned a spot on the Pennsylvania team in The Big 26 Classic. Pennsylvania defeated Maryland two games to one in a best-of-three-series to capture the tournament, which was played in FNB Park in Harrisburg on July 31 and Aug. 2 and 3. Brayden started each game in right field and batted third.

a huge celebration. It was definitely really, really great.”
Brayden belted a booming double in an 8-3 loss in game one. Pennsylvania took game two 5-2 to force a decisive third game. With the contest tied at 8-8, Pennsylvania plated three unanswered runs, and Brayden scored one of them.
“It was definitely very competitive, and there was a a little trash talk, too,” said Brayden, who was the only Lancaster-Lebanon League player to make the team.
“It was great to win. We had a dog pile, a huge celebration. It was definitely really, really great.”
The Big 26 Classic was about more than baseball, and Brayden relished the opportunity to strike up a friendship with his “Buddy,” Tyler Hooven. “It was absolutely great, especially with the Buddy
program, where you get paired with a Buddy, and they get to come to your games,” Brayden said. “The first day, we got to play a game with them, and we had a pizza party.”
The Buddies attended each game, and their names are announced with the players over the stadium’s PA system.
“It was great meeting his whole family,” Brayden said. “They were super nice. He was super nice, and he was definitely interested in baseball and had a bunch of fun.”
A few days after the tournament, Tyler sent Brayden a gift card to a sporting goods store, and Brayden plans to send something in return.
Brayden is entering his senior year at L-S. Last season, he clubbed a three-run homer in the district championship game. “We had so much energy coming into that game,” he said. “We wanted that district championship really, really bad.”
The Pioneers advanced to the state semifinals. “It was amazing,”
“Bike and Hike is really a broad event,” said Anne Stokes, who’s been COBYS Family Services director of development and communications for six years. “It’s not just one thing. There are several different ways for people to participate. However it makes sense for them. But what it’s really all about is spending time together and celebrating all the services COBYS provides.”
COBYS Family Services will present the 29th edition of its annual Bike and Hike event in Lititz from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 7. The event will consist of a 10-mile and a 25-mile bike ride, a 3-mile walk, a 1.5-mile Tasty Tour and a festivities-concluding ice cream social - because everyone always has room for ice cream.
“The best thing about the Bike and Hike is the way you get to have fun and at the same time do good things for your community,” said Stokes. “You get to come as you are. What’s really special is that everyone comes together after the event and learns how COBYS is making a difference in the community.”
All the festivities included with Bike and Hike will originate from Lititz Church of the Brethren, 300 W. Orange St., Lititz. The event will begin at noon with the

Baseball from pg 1
Brayden said. “We knew we had the resources with pitching, hitting, fielding, all that, and we definitely knew we could do it, and it was great. It was a great run.”
As the starting catcher, he hit .353 with 30 hits and was named to the all-section team. He plans to continue his baseball career after high school.
“I’m still looking at a couple colleges right now, but I’m definitely going to go somewhere to play,” said Brayden. He said he is thankful for his parents, Justin and Tiffany Hart, and his grandparents Mike and Naja Hart. “They put a lot of time and money into helping me, for sure,” he said.

Mulberry Art Studios Sets September Exhibits
Mulberry Art Studios, located in historic downtown Lancaster at 19-21 N. Mulberry St., has planned three upcoming exhibits that will be featured during September. A First Friday opening reception will be held on Sept. 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the gallery. To view any of the shows after the opening, email Stephanie .MulberryArt@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.
“W.T.FRACS BURNIN?” is a collection of artwork from local artist Fractal King. The collection is made up of fractal burnt images created by using high-voltage electricity to burn lightning-shaped patterns into wood.
The Souls Shot Portrait Project exhibit features portraits of Pennsylvania resi-
dents lost to gun violence. The Project paired fine artists with families and loved ones to create the images, designed to honor the lives of the person lost. The works span a range of media, styles and perspectives.
“Please Is this Art?: The Collected Works of Donald Shoffstall” will also be on display. In the late 20th century, Shoffstall often posted photocopies of unsigned, hand-written pages he had created on telephone poles in Lancaster. Jerry Greiner and Steve Sylvester, the exhibition curators, collected and preserved some of these creations. Shoffstall’s tattered and weathered postings consist of waves, curls, lines and words sprawled across sheets of paper,
be featured during the Souls Shot Portrait Project exhibition.
which will require visitors to consider the question, “Is this art?”

Learning expands the mind. Learning fuels the soul. Learning enriches lives.
Learning knows no age limits.
Landis Homes’ Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning isn’t a high school, but its students are seniors.
“One of the keys of healthy aging is engaging the mind with new adventures,” said Beth Graybill, Pathways Institute’s manager at Landis Homes. “It’s a way to stay engaged with our interests. The social aspect is an important part of it. It helps people get outside of their comfort zones and engage with other seniors in topics they care about.”
All of Pathways Institute of Lifelong Learning’s classes and courses are taught at Landis Homes Senior Living Community, 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lancaster. The courses are designed for individuals age 55 and older, and the classes attract people who are into their 80s and 90s.

“The goal is to provide educational opportunities for folks 55-plus in Lancaster County,” said Graybill. “It’s really a path to enrichment and service. We are all lifelong learners, even in our senior years.”
Pathways Institute offers up to 40 classes in both the fall and the spring. The fall schedule of classes begins on Wednesday, Sept. 17, and runs through Wednes -
day, Dec. 10.
There are fees and memberships associated with taking the courses.
“(The classes) are really engaging,” said Graybill, a Lancaster city resident.
“The presenters give information, and there’s always time for questions and feedback. It tends to be very interactive. It’s a nice opportunity for people in the Lititz area.”
Some of the wide variety of topics covered in the courses include local history, studies of renowned authors, cooking, crafting, foreign affairs, contemporary issues, pets, musical history, the arts and health.
The courses include fieldtrip-like off-site excursions and service-learning opportunities.
There are no tests or grades associated with the classes.
“People take the classes for the intellectual engagement,” said Graybill. “It’s a way to engage your curiosity and dive into subjects

you didn’t have time for when you were working. Some of the topics are things to consider as you age.”
As many as 400 Lancaster County students attend Pathways courses each semester. Approximately half of the participants are Landis Communities residents; some are residents of other local retirement communities; and others reside in the northern portions of Lancaster County, the city of Lancaster or communities like Columbia.
“They are average people who have time on their hands,” said Graybill. “They are people who are interested in continuing lifelong learning.”
“We are supported by Landis Homes as an added service for residents,” continued Graybill. “We find that some residents choose Landis Homes because of Pathways. Pathways is one of the many opportunities available to residents at Landis Homes.”
Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning’s teaching staff is made up of 30 instructors from local communities and surrounding communities across Lancaster County.
“Many are retired themselves,” said Graybill. “Some are former teachers or just people who have passions in particular areas.”
Pathways is financed through tuition fees, donations and funds provided by Landis Communities.
“It’s educational enrichment and surface learning,” said Graybill. “It’s about engaging our minds and spirits to become holistically involved in the wider community.”

Schreiber Sets Rubber Duckie Race and Festival
The Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development will host its 37th annual Rubber Duckie Race & Festival on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 2 to 5 p.m. at 625 Community Way, Lancaster. The tradition blends family fun, local food, and community spirit with the mission to raise funds so local children with disabilities and developmental delays can continue receiving life-changing therapies, regardless of their socio-economic background.
The festival will feature pony rides, arts and crafts, carnival games, and live
music from a DJ. Food vendors will include Cupcakes by Casey, Scoops Ice Cream & Grille, Walk-O Taco, and Mad Chef Craft Brewing. Vendor booths from Aetna, Lancaster AMBUCS, PA Lions, PaperPie, and Penn State Health will be on-site.
Adopting a duck is the community’s entry into the grand prize giveaway of $2,500 cash, with additional prizes including $500 cash, a Kitchen Kettle Village gourmet basket, and family fun packages. Winners will be announced at www .schreiberpediatric.org on Monday, Sept. 8. Every
duck adoption directly supports Schreiber’s ability to provide care, helping cover the gap between insurance and cost of care so no child is turned away due to financial constraints.
Among this year’s racers is 9-year-old Gavin Mitstifer, one of Schreiber’s 2025 ambassadors and the winner of last year’s Duckie Dash with his dad, Greg. Over the past year, Gavin has been preparing to defend his title, and in his physical therapy, he has been practicing with his walker and strengthening his muscles.
Last year’s festival had more than 600 attendees, more than 200 racers, and more than 5,000 duck adoptions, and Schreiber is aiming for even higher numbers this year.
Community members can join by adopting duckies for the prize drawing; registering to race in the Duckling Dash or Duckie Dash, including the new corporate team division and Duckie Cup; or volunteering on event day. To adopt a duck, register, or learn more, visit www .schreiberpediatric.org/ event/duckies.

25-mile bicycle ride registration and start, followed by the check-in and start of the Tasty Tour of four downtown confectionary stops - Dosie Dough, Café Arabella, CAVOLO! and Slate Café - at 1 p.m.
Registration and the start of the 10-mile bicycle ride and the 3-mile walk will also begin at 1 p.m. Then, at 2:45 p.m. the Incredible Ice Cream Celebration will begin on the grass behind Lititz Church of the Brethren.
“The Bike and Hike is a very relaxed event,” said Stokes. “The COBYS staff warmly greets you and checks you in. The Incredible Ice Cream Celebration is a time for all the participants to come together. We use that time to talk about all the great things going on at COBYS.”
More than 300 individuals, family members and community members are expected to attend.
“It’s really everybody, just like our community,” said Stokes of the participants. “It’s people of all ages, because that’s what it takes to support the committed human care that we provide. It’s people who have supported us for a long time. It’s some of our foster families. It’s a lot of donors and supporters. It might be people who have heard about us from a neighbor or a friend.”
Organizers of the Bike
and Hike fundraiser are hoping to realize $100,000 in proceeds for COBYS Family Services. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $2.5 million for the organization, which provides foster, adoption and counseling services in Lancaster, York, Lebanon, Dauphin, Cumberland and Schuylkill Counties.
“The money will go toward our overall operating expenses,” said Stokes. “The ultimate goal is to make sure COBYS has continued resources to support our work throughout the year.
Without these financial resources, the COBYS organization wouldn’t be able to provide the services it does day in and day out. Throughout the year, things pop up. When we need funds for things like fostering and counseling, the money is there.”
COBYS, which operates offices at 444 Murry Hill Circle, Lancaster, and at 134 E. King St., Lancaster, was founded in 1996 and employs more than 90 staff members across all of its programs. COBYS Family Services conducts or benefits from five other annual fundraisers and also receives financial support through fees for services, a variety of grants, private donations and state and county resources.
“Our mission is to educate and empower children and adults to reach their full potential,” said Stokes. “We care about our clients in their times of need. We can’t always fix all the problems, but we know we can treat people with dignity, compassion and hope. There are critical needs in our community, and COBYS Family Services is an agency to meet those needs. If you value those things, we hope you’ll join us at Bike and Hike to make that care happen.”

At MHALC Conference,
One Is Not a Lonely Number
BY JEFF FALK
While not all suicides are preventable, many are. Sometimes the smallest action, the simplest word from a single individual can be the difference between life and death.
This year’s theme for the Mental Health America of Lancaster County’s (MHALC) annual suicide prevention conference is the power of one.
“We want to believe all suicides are preventable,” said Kim McDevitt, MHALC’s executive director. “It’s such a complex issue. When you have to tell a parent that their child’s suicide was preventable, it’s really hard. There’s a lot of guilt and shame around it, and we don’t want to perpetuate it.”
“Some people are so desperate just to have someone say something to them,” said Elaine Gilbert, MHALC’s marketing and fundraising coordinator. “When you’re talking about the power of one, that’s what we’re referring to.”
That power of one will be a point of exploration when MHALC conducts its ninth annual suicide prevention conference from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18, at DoubleTree Resort, 2400 Willow Street Pike, Lancaster. Interested individuals can register at https://mhalancaster .org/conference before Tuesday, Sept. 9. September is National Suicide Prevention Month.
“Our goal is to highlight the importance of suicide prevention and the power we have,” said Gilbert. “We want people to be empowered and know that there are steps you can take to change a negative trajectory. Every individual has the power to make a difference in everyone’s life. It’s about getting people to understand that they have the power to make people feel connected and not alone, no matter what struggles they may be facing.”
The conference will begin at 7:30 a.m. with check-ins and breakfast. The event will include four
hourlong break-out sessions addressing specific issues related to suicide, two structured breaks, lunch, a panel discussion and closing remarks.
“It’s bringing the community together for learning, for networking, for sharing and for caring,” said McDevitt.
“This is really hard work.
That day, there’s a lot of hope. It’s not doom and gloom. It’s people coming up with solutions. There’s a lot of conversation.”
Jennifer Storm, a nationally recognized victims’ rights expert and the author of the book “Blackout Girl,” will serve as the suicide prevention conference’s keynote speaker. The breakout sessions will be instructed by 16 mental health experts.
“When I look at what this conference is, I think it’s really bringing providers together for one common cause, for one very difficult mission,” said McDevitt.
“When I’m there, I feel like I’m elevated by energy and compassion of care. This is one particular mission, and it’s directed toward saving lives. You’re working with amazing folks who are not only like-minded but also compassionate. These folks aren’t coming because they’re sent there; they’re coming because they want to be there.”
Nearly 250 individuals are expected to attend the conference, including mental health professionals, case managers, education professionals, representatives from county agencies and people
health experts (from left to right) Jo Morgan of Ashanti’s Heart Behavioral Health; Aimee Prange of Suicide Prevention, Strategy, Training and Development; Mary Dorman of Wellspan Philhaven; Jami Dumler of Thriveworks Counseling; and Sir Dominique Jordan of Artivist Corp and Nobody’s Pen lead a panel discussion at last year’s MHALC conference.
who have been directly or indirectly affected by suicide. Attendees can earn credit toward mandated hours, suicide prevention continuing education and Act 48 requirements.
“It’s impossible to quantify how many lives have been saved (over the course of the convention’s existence),” said Gilbert, a resident of Lancaster city. “We’ll never know how many people have been impacted. We like to think of it as, ‘How many people don’t we know who have been saved?’”
According to the Lancaster County Coroner’s Office, five times more local residents died of suicide last year than by homicide. In 2024, more Lancaster County residents died from suicide - 65 - than from motor vehicle accidents - 53.
Currently, Lancaster County is on pace to surpass last year’s total number of suicides.
“People who commit
suicide are people who are constantly struggling with their mental health. They’ve had suicidal ideations, they’ve thought about it,” said McDevitt, a resident of Manheim Township. “Mental illness is like physical illness. If you understand mental illness, those people did not take their own lives. We want to help people recognize the signs and symptoms of suicide.”

Flu, Pneumonia Vaccines Available at Giant, Martin’s
The Giant Company has announced that flu and pneumonia vaccinations are now available at all Giant and Martin’s pharmacies.
Walk-ins are welcome, but customers can also make an appointment if they prefer. Most insurance plans cover flu shots at $0 copays, including Medicare Part B.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone age 6 months and older get a flu vaccination annually, ideally by October. Vaccination to prevent influenza is
particularly important for people who are at higher risk of developing serious complications from flu, including people with diabetes, pregnant women, adults over 65, those with asthma and other chronic lung diseases, those with kidney and liver disorders, heart disease patients and those with compromised immune systems.
Giant and Martin’s pharmacies also offer pneumococcal vaccinations, which can be administered at the same time as a flu shot.
The CDC recommends the pneumococcal vac -
cination for all children younger than 5 years old and all adults age 50 years or older. It is also recommended for both children and adults with certain risk conditions.
Immunizations are administered by immunizing Giant and Martin’s pharmacists and specially trained pharmacy team members, subject to state regulations. To find the nearest Giant or Martin’s pharmacy, visit www.giantfoodstores .com or www.martins foods.com or download the free Giant or Martin’s Pharmacy app.
Choices Healthcare Schedules Conference
Clergy and faith leaders from across the region are invited to attend Choices Healthcare’s Supporting Families and Community Together conference dedicated to strengthening partnerships between pastors, spiritual caregivers, and health care providers in communities of color. The conference will take place on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Pathways Center for Grief & Loss, 4075 Old Harrisburg Pike, Mount Joy. The event is sponsored by the High Foundation.
The gathering will offer tools, understanding, and language to better support individuals and families navigating serious illness and end-of-life care. Faith leaders are often the first people families turn to in moments of medical crisis, and this conference is designed to prepare them to walk alongside their communities with truth, dignity, and love.
The program will begin with a keynote address on faith, culture, and compas-
Pathways
sionate care, delivered by Shayna Watson from Trinity Church in Washington, D.C., and Sara Wiegner, a retired chaplain with Hospice & Community Care. Following the keynote, a panel discussion will bring together clergy and hospice experts, including the Rev. Sherry Lupton, covenant pastor at Shiloh Presbyterian Church; Bertha De Jesus, assistant professor at Millersville University; pastor Carol Pagan, leader of faith at Living Christian Church in Reading; and pastor Oscar Vazquez, CEO of Hope Ministries.
Attendees will engage in real conversations on health care disparities, trust, and the role of the faith community in guiding decisions around hospice and palliative care. The conference is free to attend, but registration is required. To register or for more information, visit www.hospice community.org/pastoral.

Each location will feature a play-based curriculum that fosters children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development, complemented by on-site health services, behavioral supports, meals, transportation, and personal care items. Family success advocates will work closely with families through goal setting, home visits, and connections to community resources.
CHS has already opened centers in Hershey and Harrisburg, and CHS Middletown is planned to open this summer.
CHS New Danville, located at 393 Long Lane in Pequea Towship, is

The Trust Plans Concert
The Trust Performing Arts Center, 37 N. Market St., Lancaster, will present the first concert in the 202526 Lancaster International Piano Festival on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m. The concert will feature violinist Peter Winograd and pianist Xun Pan.
Winograd gave his first solo public performance at the age of 11 and was accepted at 17 as a scholarship student of Dorothy DeLay at The Juilliard School. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Juilliard. Winograd was a top prize winner in the 1988 Naumburg International Violin Competition.

Winograd has been a member of the violin and chamber music faculties of the Manhattan School of Music and the Aspen Music School since 1990. His wife, violinist Caterina Szepes, is a member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
Pan studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and Syracuse University in New York and earned his doctorate in musical arts from Rutgers University in New Jersey. He has collaborated with the American String Quartet, Hai-Ye Ni, Priscilla Lee, Dara Morales, and the Gabriel Chamber Ensemble. As a Steinway Artist, he was inducted into the Steinway & Sons Teacher Hall of Fame in 2023. He has won many international piano competitions and awards and performed in locations worldwide, including Carnegie Weill Hall and the Beijing National Centre for the Performing Arts. Pan is the director of keyboard studies at the Tell School of Music at Millersville University and is a visiting professor at many universities and conservatories in China. He is also a founding member and the co-artistic director of the Lancaster International Piano Festival.
