Lifecycles Riders To Embark On Trans Am Challenge Ride By Chelsea Peifer

This summer, six young men from Lancaster County - ranging in age from 15 to 19 - will be flying to the West Coast to take on a 3,820-mile, 63-day bicycle ride from Oregon to Maine. The Trans Am Extreme Challenge Ride is a new undertaking for each of the riders and for Lifecycles, a nonprofit mentoring program committed to building young men and women of character through bicycling adventures. Retired United States Air Force Col. Lee DeRemer developed the vision for Lifecycles after seeing a transformation of sorts in his nephews after they had conquered a bicycle trip through Montana and Wyoming together. DeRemer had planned that adventure after his nephews lost their father to cancer as a way to spend time together and provide

some of the male leadership they were now missing in their lives. The joy and growth that trip yielded was something DeRemer believed could be replicated on a larger scale. Today, volunteers from Lifecycles lead weekly rides for teenage boys in Landisville, Marietta, and New Holland and for girls in Lititz. More than 80 riders participated in the 2019 season, and more than 160 riders have been a part of Lifecycles since the program began in 2015. A free meal is served, and bicycles, helmets, and shirts are supplied for all participants. Interested individuals are encouraged to sign up ahead of time at www.lifecyclesteam.org if they would like to join a ride. Walk-ins are welcome too. Additionally, Lifecycles organizes annual summer challenge rides for participants. The inaugural challenge ride See Lifecycles pg 2

Training Center Ministry (RTCM), who noted that Woods has been a consultant to comedian Jeff Foxworthy with regard to deer population growth and management. Woods’ reputation as a man who loves God, his family, and hunting makes him a good fit to speak at the fifth annual RTCM sportsman banquet, which will be held on Wednesday, March 25, at Shady Maple Banquet Hall, 129 Toddy Drive, East Earl. Doors will open at 5 p.m., and dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m. Woods is the creator of GrowingDeer.tv, a tool he uses to share his passion for managing and growing the white-tailed deer population and to provide information about deer hunting and deer management.

Workshop from pg 1 Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster, will be the site of a Spring Gardening Workshop focused on heirloom gardening on Saturday, Feb. 22, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will feature two special speakers, Amy Goldman in the morning and Pat Brodowski in the afternoon. Goldman, past chairman of the board of Seed Savers Exchange, is an heirloom plant gardener and the author of multiple books on her favorite vegetables and heirloom seed gardening in general. During the morning portion of the workshop, she will share about the variety of “fruit vegetables” that she grows in her heirloom gardens and will talk about the flavors

that can be found by cultivating and propogating heirloom seeds. Brodowski is the specialty gardener at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s estate, where she has been tending to the 1,000foot-long kitchen garden’s herbs and vegetables for the past 10 years. She will share how the kitchen garden came to be and will discuss the unusual plants that she preserves and propogates there, along with seed-saving techniques. She is a graduate of Cornell University, and she completed her master’s thesis at McDaniel College on Jefferson’s cultivation of salad greens and herbs. Each session will include a time for questions and answers.

There is a cost to attend. Lunch is included. Preregistration is required, and space is limited. For details and registration, readers may visit www.landisvalleymuseum.org and look under Events.

Inspire. Love. The organization fights human trafficking. “These girls have powerful, life-changing stories,” said Friedrichs. “They’re willing to share, and they’re touching our hearts.” Those who attend will be welcome to share their own stories if they wish. “So many of us have something going on (that can give us) the opportunity to reach out to another woman and connect,” noted Friedrichs. “We want (women who attend) to feel connected and inspired by a story.” Both Strohecker and Friedrichs noted that the atmosphere will be conducive to conversation. “When we share our struggles and disappointments, we realize how much we have in common,” Friedrichs said. “No woman should ever feel alone.” “We want people to see God through the love that shows in that room,” said Strohecker. Strohecker and Friedrichs hope women will see the event as a place where each woman is accepted where she is and as she is, so she feels she is in a place of belonging. Readers who would like to attend the Feb. 27 event are asked to register by Wednesday, Feb. 26, by searching for “Story Marks” at Eventbrite or by calling 717-341-4444 or 717-701-9767.

Lifecycles from pg 1 consisted of nine teenagers and seven adult guides pedaling 290 miles to Niagara Falls. As the organization has grown, so have the challenges, with different trips being planned for riders of various ability levels. Conquering the Trans Am Extreme Challenge Ride will be Micah Clark, 17, of Lancaster; Austin Hillegass, 16, of Lancaster; Zander Malanchuk, 15, of Columbia; Monny Smith, 19, of Mount Joy; Jaerrid Strawser, 16, of Columbia; and AJ Vega, 15, of New Holland. The ride will provide ample opportunity for each of the boys to apply Lifecycles’ motto: “Do hard things.” The riders will set out from Sunset Beach, Ore., in June and finish out in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Four adult riders will accompany the youths, and a support and gear (SAG) van driven by two adults will follow the group. Continental breakfasts, lunches prepared by the SAG volunteers, and dinners at restaurants will fuel the riders as they tackle approximately 150,000 feet of climbing - a total equivalent to more than five times the height of Mount Everest. So it is with good reason that when Monny was asked what he believes the most challenging part of the

trip will be, he responded, “The hills. I’m not looking forward to the hills.” Training for the Trans Am ride will not only include lots of bicycling for the boys but weekly gym nights led by a personal trainer to cover cross-training. Micah’s mom, Melinda Clark, said that she is grateful for the avenue that Lifecycles has already provided to reinforce positive character traits and for the opportunity this trip will give to the boys to enhance decision-making and risk assessment skills. Albert Vega, AJ’s father and the leader of the New Holland Lifecycles site, is looking forward to hearing his son’s stories. “We have a lot of great conversations after our rides just in the local area,” said Albert. “I’m excited for him to see the country from a different perspective.” Each participant has been tasked with raising $2,000 of the approximately $6,000 per person trip cost to cover food, lodging, and travel expenses. Any business or individual interested in making a tax-deductible donation toward the Trans Am Extreme Challenge Ride may contact DeRemer at 717-586-2511 or director@lifecyclesteam.org or visit www.lifecyclesteam.org.

“It’s for the girl who wants to come out and have a casual evening.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. The appetizer buffet will open at 6 p.m. Each evening will include appetizers at a nominal cost, an art gallery with photos connected to a specific theme, and stories of real women. The art gallery for the February gathering, called “The Tattoos of the Overcomer: Stories of Courage,” will feature the tattoos of women who have spent time in area recovery shelters. The gallery scheduled for the March event, which is planned for Thursday, March 19, will feature tattoos of women who work out in local gyms as part of a display called “The Tattoos of Fitness: Stories of Perseverance.” During the February event, Brenda Schilder will share her story of overcoming a major health crisis. “Overcoming my double mastectomy was a work in progress,” said Schilder. “My artwork/tattoo helped to hide the scars and restore my rainbow of life.” That same evening, Amy Thurston will share what motivated her to start Hope.

St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, 10 Delp Road, Lancaster, will feature its own musicians in a hymn festival titled “No Darkness At All” on Saturday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m. The event is the next concert in the 2019-20 Musical Arts Concert Series. The church’s hymn festivals offer opportunities to sing old and new hymns that center around a particular topic or theme. This year, director of music Adam Hughes has developed the theme “No Darkness at All” from the hymn “I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light.” The concert will be a celebration of the God of Light and will feature Scripture, songs, and prayer. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Neffsville has an abundance of musical groups incorporating church

members of all ages. Participants play a variety of instruments, from handbells to electric guitars. The concert is free and open to the public.

immigrants at Duffy’s Cut outside Philadelphia, and a demonstration of Irish set dancing. The Temple University Irish dance team will display its members’ talents on Feb. 14 at 6 p.m. on the Marriott main stage. Pujol said she has seen the group perform an Irish dance to the music of “Grease,” so she is looking forward to seeing what the team has this year. A ceilidh - a traditional Irish dance party - will be held after the performance at 7 p.m. Simple group dances will be taught and then called to music played by The Celtic Martins. Additional music groups appearing at the festival will be Cormorant’s Fancy, Charlie Zahm and Tad Marks, and Fire in the Glen. More than 20 vendors are slated to sell Celtic-related jewelry, hats, toys, shirts, foods, and dance supplies. There will also be a silent auction on Feb. 15, with proceeds helping to offset the cost of producing the festival. Pujol noted that the festival’s nearly $100,000 budget is supported by sponsors, and there are ongoing ways to help with fundraising. One specific need is for traveling trophies that are awarded to champions of the feis (competition). While admission to the festival is free, tickets will be required for admission to watch Hold Fast and Barleyjuice perform on the Marriott main stage at 6 and 7:30 p.m. respectively and to attend the Seasons concert at Tellus360 at 8 p.m. All three concerts will take place on Feb. 15.

The Rose & Shamrock Festival and Feis is back, bigger and - organizers hope even better than ever. The offerings for the event, which has drawn thousands of competitors and spectators to the Marriott Hotel, 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster, and nearby venues, have been expanded, with a second day added to the popular Irish dance competition and an extra day of music at Millersville University’s Ware Center, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster. The festival will run from Friday, Feb. 14, through Sunday, Feb. 16. Most of the weekend’s activities will be open to spectators free of charge. “Our mission is to promote (Celtic culture) to the next generation, and one of the ways we do that is by having free admission,” said festival chair and Paloma School of Irish Dance owner Esther Pujol. “We have one of the largest Irish music competitions on the East Coast,” Pujol added. “The bagpipe competition will be on the fourth floor of the Marriott, with three competition areas. It has really exploded.” Pujol noted that 25 pipers from eight states had registered by mid-January, and more were expected. The separate music competition, which will take place at Tellus360, 24

E. King St., Lancaster, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15, has already drawn nearly 40 entrants. Last year, the Irish dance competition was held only on Saturday and had 870 entrants, with more on a waitlist. To accommodate extra dancers, the contest will run from 4 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 14, with 350 competitors. The competition will resume at 8 a.m. on Feb. 15 and run until about 5 p.m. Saturday’s registration has been limited to 800 dancers. “I have students (at Paloma) who will do the Irish dance competition (and) the Irish music competition and perform with the Keystone Fiddlers,” Pujol remarked. “It’s a busy weekend.” The Keystone Fiddlers group was founded by sisters Christy Martin and Melissa Hagy and is composed of their music students. The group plays mostly Irish and Scottish music, and its members will perform as part of an educational lineup on the Heritage Stage at the Marriott. Martin has coordinated the offerings on the Heritage Stage: an Irish Gaelic language workshop, performances by the Harrisburg Scottish Country Dance Society and the Rehoboth Welsh Choir, an Ode to Burns presented by Donald Henderson, a lecture on the mass grave of 57 Irish

Streaks Nab Final District Playoff Berth by Ara Grigorian

The Manheim Township boys’ basketball team finished on a high note with five straight wins to close out the regular season. They weren’t merely wins for the sake of pride, however. The Blue Streaks finished with a 13-8 record and earned that 12th and final qualifying spot in the District Three Class 6A playoffs. “We knew if we wanted to achieve one of our goals, which was making it to the district playoffs, we needed to win out,” said head coach Matt Johns. “We couldn’t worry about what the other teams were going to do; we could only control our game.” Township hosted Cedar Crest in the regular season finale. The Streaks’ 6142 victory also meant that they

finished above .500 (7-6) in the Lancaster-Lebanon League. The sense of urgency manifested itself heading into the second quarter of the Crest game. The Streaks found themselves trailing 9-3. “The first quarter was probably one of the worst offensive quarters of our season,” Johns said. “It was senior night. We might have been a little jittery. We got the shots we wanted, but we just weren’t making them.” The Falcons, who fell to 19-3 (11-2 league) also outscored the Streaks 14-12 in the second quarter. “We started making our shots in the second quarter and had a nice run,” Johns explained. “Towards the end of the second quarter, Cedar Crest hit a couple of three’s. But we felt good at halftime.

“We stuck tighter on a couple of their shooters,” continued the coach. “Ben Mann and Mickey Stokes took care of the penetration in the middle. It was a basic thing - we wanted to give our guys confidence to keep shooting.” The shooting became more productive in the second half. The Streaks, who trailed by eight points at the midway point, outscored the Falcons by a whopping 26-6 in the third quarter and by a 20-13 margin in the fourth. “We had one of our best offensive halves of the season, scoring 46 points in two quarters,” Johns said. Leading the scoring was Zach Hartz with 19 points. He made four threepoint baskets. Stokes, who grabbed nine rebounds, scored 15 and Seth Miller poured in 10 points. Mann put up nine points. The battle with Governor Mifflin on February 1, was against the team that would ultimately capture the 10th seed in the district rankings. Township came out on top 65-55 in the Saturday afternoon home game. “Governor Mifflin was ranked eighth in the district when we played them,” Johns noted. “Crest was ranked second or third.” Township trailed its non-league opponent 25-23 at the half. The

Streaks put on a great offensive second half, outscoring the Mustangs 42-30. Hartz had a game-high 23 points, connecting from three-point range four times. Stokes scored 16 while Oldac and Mann finished with nine and eight points, respectively. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Blue Streaks ended the regular season on a four-game winning streak, which included two L-L League victories that secured second place in girls’ basketball Section One standings. Township rolled into Saturday’s opening round of the L-L League playoffs after a 53-30 win at Cedar Crest on Tuesday, February 4. With that win and the 47-32 win at Lampeter-Strasburg three days earlier, Township finished the regular season 17-5 overall and with a 10-3 league mark - three games behind unbeaten Hempfield (13-0) in the section standings. Though Cedar Crest remained close with a tight second quarter, the Streaks blew the game wide open by outscoring the Falcons 15-3 in the third quarter of Tuesday’s game. In all, they outscored the Falcons 29-11 in the second half. Katie Bushong had another phenomenal game, putting up 26 points. Ali Quinn scored seven while both

Al’liyah McCloud and Missy Welch finished with five. In a game where Bushong finished with 22 points, the Streaks came out of the gates quickly and scored 13 on the L-S Pioneers. Carrying that 13-1 lead into the second quarter was crucial as the home team kept it close the rest of the way. Township’s early advantage concluded as a 15-point margin of victory. Gianna Smith and Grace Martin each scored seven points. As the league playoffs got underway on Saturday, February 8, the Streaks visited Section Four champ

Lancaster Catholic. The Crusaders came into the game with a 13-0 league record. On a night where Catholic’s Sommer Reeser led all scorers with 25 points, the home team came back from a 23-20 deficit to overtake the lead in the third. The Crusaders (20-3) held on for a 53-45 win. Bushong knocked down a teamhigh 22, which included three treys. Smith scored 12. Though the loss ends Township’s bid for a league trophy, the Streaks do enter the District Three 6A playoffs as the sixth-ranked team and will host

difference. “Gabby Stramara was a winner in the 100 fly and she did a 54.86 in the 100 free, which was a very good time for her,” added the coach. Stramara finished fourth in the 100 free while Forman finished fifth at 55.47. Liz Perot won the 500 free posting a time of 5:09.75. “Liz won that going away,” said Graybill. “She had a steady pace and never lost her cadence. It was a very well-swum race. The 200 free and 500 free were good times for her.” In that 200 free, Perot finished third (1:57.66) while teammate Hope Boldizar took seventh at 2:00.38. Perot and Stramara were part of a 400 free relay team that took second place. Boldizar and Diana Lamont completed the quartet that finished at 3:42.27. “That was their best time by six seconds,” Graybill noted. “Their previous best was 3:48.” Pyott placed third in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:08.40 while Gretta Harnish earned seventh (1:11.14). Magrini and Boldizar were sixth and seventh, respectively, in the 100 backstroke, with times of 1:01.68 and 1:02.26. Vivan Ealy was part of a 200 free relay team that took second in 1:40.83. She was joined by Lamont, Pyott and Forman. Ealy took fifth (25.67) and Forman seventh (25.94) in the 50 freestyle. “Ealy had a very fast start and had her best time in the 50 free,” Graybill said. Jackson Prevost won two events in the boys’ championships, claiming the 500 free in 4:49.52 and the 200 free at

1:43.77. “He had the best meet of his life to date,” said Graybill. “He just pulled away from the field in the 200 free for a personal best. He did that again in the 500 free. If he manages to swim those times in districts, he’ll be a shoe-in for states. I expect he’ll go faster in districts.” Prevost anchored the 200 free relay with Henry Gingrich, Alonso Borrero and Paladino Connor leading the way for a second-place time of 1:29.61. Paladino, Gingrich, Elijah Gocotano and Luka Brandsema clocked a 1:38.41 in the 200 medley relay good for second place. Staying consistent with secondplace finishes, the quartet of Tyler Besnoff, Graham Calhoun, Gocotano and Prevost did so in the 400 free relay at 3:20.35. “Besnoff, Calhoun, Gocotano and Prevost each had their best times in the 400 free,” Graybill said. “They dropped four seconds.” Besnoff had a fourth-place finish (5:00.57) in the 500 free. In the 100 backstroke, Calhoun took third (54.78) while teammates Salembier and Gocotano tied for fourth at 55.28. “That’s very rare,” said Graybill. “Not only did you have a tie, but it was two teammates. “Tyler Besnoff had a very good time,” added the coach. “He has come so far since his freshman year.” Paladino’s fourth-place (48.88) in the 100 free and Gocotano’s fourthplace (54.41) in the 100 butterfly were behind Donegal’s Jake Houck. In the 100 free, Houck set a meet and league record as well as a pool record of 45.42. He hit all three records for the 100 fly (49.95) with Gingrich also placing in that event - fifth place at 54.53.

Manheim Township senior Jada Bender finished in the top-five with her score of 199, which included on center target. Bender was fifth overall - behind Ephrata’s Jonathan Petrecca (199, 2 centers).

Stramara also went on to take first in the 100 butterfly at 57.00 seconds. “In the 200 medley relay, that combination of swimmers has won every meet I’ve placed them together,” said head coach Dan Graybill, “and usually by a significant time

MERCHANDISER - Manheim Township Edition number 11 seed Cedar Cliff on Monday, February 17. WRESTLING The Blue Streaks squared off against Elco on Wednesday, February 5 in a non-league match on the road. Major decisions by Aliazer Alicea and Micah Sams, a technical fall for Cade Clancy at the 170-pound weight class plus a handful of pins helped Township claim a 40-32 victory, improving to 7-10 on the year. Josh Hillard registered one of those pins, downing Austin Antonucci at 106. Alicea’s major by a 15-5 margin (113) and the 9-0 win by Sams at 120 gave the Streaks a 14-0 head start. Following an Elco pin and a forfeited 138-pound match by Township, Charlie Leidig regained momentum for the Streaks with a pin just 29 seconds into the 145-pound bout. Clancy’s technical was in the form of a 21-6 win at 170 pounds. Austin Decaro pinned 1:33 into his 195pound battle and Samuel Crist (285) had a first-period pin - both pins sandwiched around Justin Herr’s 3-1 victory at 220. AIR RIFLE Manheim Township welcomed Ephrata on Tuesday, February 4, in a huge air rifle meet. The Mountaineers came in with an 11-2 mark and the Streaks two games behind at 9-4. Thanks to Sam Bischiel and Alyssa Dunn both registering 100’s on the day, the Streaks peaked past the Mountaineers 494-493. The Mounts’ lineup featured three marksmen finishing at 99. Jay Stephens shot a 99 for Township. Eli Torres and Ethan Demler shot 98 and 97, respectively. The season-ending match came four days prior to the L-L League Air

Young Readers Needed For Shelter Program By Dayna M. Reidenouer

TAX RETURN PREPARATION

Lititz recCenter will offer its spring activities beginning on Monday, March 2. Hundreds of classes and programs are set for youths, adults and families from March through June. Two sessions of seven- or eight-week programs will be held. Dozens of group fitness classes are scheduled daily between 5:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Classes and instructors will provide strength, core and cardio training at both high and lower intensities. Although classes are open to adults of all ages, some are ideal for older adults or those with limitations.

Parkinson’s recovery will be a focus of Rock Steady Boxing and Power Moves. Nutrition education and massage will also be offered.

Sure, you probably have heard of students reading to dogs, but did you know that cats enjoy similar attention? “Our adoptable cats appreciate being read to by our Rescue Readers as reading aloud has a positive impact on the cats in our cat colonies, while also helping the readers become more comfortable and confident reading aloud,” said Humane Pennsylvania events and social media coordinator Kylie Layman, who is in charge of the Rescue Readers program. The program is less than a year old and was developed to provide youths ages 4 to 13 with opportunities to interact with the cats in the shelter, expand their reading proficiency, and give back to their community. Seven-year-old Hunter Griffin and his parents, Oanh To and William Griffin of Manheim Township, spent time on Jan. 12 with several felines at the Humane League of Lancaster County, 2195 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster. The family had a half-hour slot during which Hunter read aloud from the Pete the Cat book “Snow Daze” and the titles in the “Little Critter Bedtime Stories” box set. To said she learned about the Rescue Readers program from a friend on Facebook, and because their family has an interest in the stray cats in their neighborhood, she signed up Hunter. “We’re teaching Hunter to be kind and respectful to all creatures,” To explained. Hunter sat on the floor during his time

in the observation room that housed at least four cats. Right after Hunter took his seat, a cat named Wendy climbed into his lap and stayed there for nearly the entire time. The other cats also checked him out. “When she first got here, Miss Izzy Kitty was shy,” adoption counselor Genisus Hess commented. “This is the first day that she’s running out to meet people. This socializing is great for her.” “I think it’s such a good program,” added volunteer Sharon Swanger. Rescue Readers meet at the Humane League of Lancaster County each Saturday and Sunday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for half-hour reading sessions. Each reader must preregister for a designated reading time and be accompanied by a parent or other adult guardian during their visit. Readers are welcome to bring their own books, or they may choose some from the shelter’s bookshelf. Hess expressed her excitement about the program, saying, “I love books, I love cats, and I love that we can bring the two together.” Although the Rescue Readers program is in its infancy, Layman is exploring ways to make it better. “My goal is to revamp it into more of an experience for the kids because currently, there is very little interaction between our staff and readers, and I want to cultivate relationships with the kids and parents who take time out of their weekend to bring their kid in to read to cats,” Layman said. “I want to create an incentive for the kids so

Humane League of Lancaster County feline resident Wendy appears to follow along as Hunter Griffin reads aloud on Jan. 12. The Rescue Readers program invites youngsters ages 4 to 13 to spend half an hour on a weekend reading to cats at the shelter. they are encouraged to come back multiple times. I want to hopefully partner with a local bookstore or businesses that could be part of the kids’ ‘welcome packet’ and offer a coupon or item geared toward reading.” The To-Griffin family plans to return every Sunday through the end of February just for the fun of it. “(My favorite part was) petting the cats because they’re nice,” Hunter said after his first visit. To preregister for a reading session, readers may call the shelter’s front desk staff members at 717-393-6551.

Local Resident Writes Book Lisa Ericson, a Manheim Township resident, recently wrote a book, “Against All Odds: An Incredible Journey of Hope and Healing,” telling the true story of Shannon Kerr. Kerr, a young woman who lives near Minneapolis, Minn., endured an experience in 2015 where she almost died. Because the circumstances surrounding the event were unusual, mysterious, and infused with hope, people suggested that she put the story into print. She asked Ericson to author the book. Ericson met with Kerr for two days in her home in Minnesota to get an overview of the story. Back in Pennsylvania, Ericson took on the project, conducting research and doing phone interviews with family, friends, eyewitnesses, and authorities associated with the story. Ericson wrote a complete manuscript, which she delivered to Kerr seven months later. As Kerr’s ghostwriter, Ericson decided to write the entire story from Kerr’s perspective. The book is available via www.againstalloddsbook.com and other online sources, in both paperback and digital formats.

Food and Beverage The Importance Of Food Safety Certification By Dayna M. Reidenouer

Working in food service involves much more than asking “Would you like fries with that?” Food service workers may be employed in grocery stores, retirement communities, schools, office building cafeterias, restaurants, and anywhere else that qualifies as a retail food establishment as defined by law. One of the top priorities of all food service workers is to keep consumers safe. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has created a model food code, which is updated every four years, and states can create their own based on the model. According to Penn State Extension, the FDA Food Code provides updated sciencebased guidance and recommendations on how to handle food safely in order to reduce or prevent foodborne illnesses. Until recently, the FDA Food Code required that one person within a food service operation be a Certified Food Protection Manager. The new update, announced in February 2018, now requires that the person in charge of a facility be certified. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA), which oversees the state’s food code and the Food Employee Certification Act, adopted the update and declared the change in certified managers to go into effect in 2020.

“We have research from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that shows when we have a (certified) person on duty at all times, the risk of foodborne illness is reduced,” said Stacy Reed, senior extension educator with Penn State Extension. “Prevention of foodborne illness is a big deal. About 48 million people get sick (from a foodborne illness) each year, and that leads to over 128,000 being hospitalized. That means one out of every six people will get sick from a foodborne illness (annually). An estimated 3,000 people pass away from a foodborne illness every year.” Until the latest change, retail food facilities were required to have a Certified

With the new requirement that the person in charge - for example, a shift manager be certified, more people will need to have their certifications. “We’re trying to be proactive and making people aware of these amendments so that we have plenty of people that are certified,” Reed said. Certification must be renewed every five years. PDA recognizes manager certification programs offered by five organizations. Penn State Extension offers local classes for the PDA-approved ServSafe program from the National Restaurant Association (NRA). The classes are typically held in groups of two, with one week separating them. A proctored exam is offered at the end of the second day, and a score of 75% or higher is required to receive a certificate. Exams may be taken four times in one year, but they must be spaced out according to the association’s guidelines. “Our food safety and quality professionals are highly educated in food safety,” Reed remarked. “We can provide real-life information and update you on all the changes and regulations. We have advanced professional knowledge and

experience; we are professional educators.” The ServSafe course is also available online and may be completed at an individual’s convenience. The exam must be taken in person, however. Accommodations for people with disabilities are available through the NRA. Sometimes accommodations might include having more time to complete an exam or having the exam read aloud by someone without a food safety background. “There are ways (we) will work with individuals to help them succeed,” Reed said. Exams are available in English as well as Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French Canadian, and large-print English. Classes taught in Spanish are available in Kennett Square, although Reed noted that she has a bilingual program assistant who can teach the class in Spanish in Lancaster. Anyone who is interested in food safety is welcome to take a ServSafe course. “We have a lot of individuals who take the class who are just interested in food safety, (as well as) volunteers or people interested in the possibility of a career change,” Reed said. “I know a lot of employers do value certification, to the point that they will send large groups of employees to classes at one time.” Along with potentially helping someone obtain a job in food service, the ServSafe program provides valuable knowledge for use in other contexts too. “It’s information that you can apply even at home so that (you can) make sure you are preparing food safely for your family or (when you are) volunteering in the community,” Reed commented. Information about the ServSafe Food Safety Program and upcoming classes is available at https://extension.psu.edu/ servsafe. Individuals with questions may call the Penn State Extension office at 877-345-0691 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to seeking workers who display a commitment to food safety, employers are looking for food service workers with the following skills: - Communication skills - Ability to work in a team - Attention to detail - Friendly personality - Patience - Ability to multitask and solve problems

MT Residents: 2020 Census is Coming! The U.S. Constitution calls for a head count of all people living in the U.S. and its territories every 10 years.

It determines the: • Distribution of 675 billion federal dollars each year to state and local governments (approximately $2,093 per person). • Districting of U.S. House of Representatives • Decision-making at all levels of government including funds that the Manheim Township School District receives to support our learners in each of our schools. The official census day is April 1, 2020. Residents can fill out the census online, by phone, or through U.S. mail. Please watch for more information in local and national news. It is imperative to understand your part in this significant event. This is an important initiative, it is confidential, and it is very easy.
