Local writers hone their craft together

There’s always something fresh going on with GOTR

BY JEFF FALK

Girls on the Run (GOTR) is always active, always evolving, always moving forward.

A national initiative designed to support the development of girls in the third through eighth grades with physical activities like running, GOTR has a mission that is seasonal in nature. On the heels of a successful spring campaign, the Lancaster chapter of GOTR is currently gearing up for its 10-week fall season, which will get underway on Monday, Sept. 11.

In addition, Girls on the Run recently assigned new positions and responsibilities to employees Jennifer West and Kylie Homan.

Writers may toil on their own much of the time, but those who are looking for camaraderie and opportunities to hone their craft have a local resource at their disposal: the Manheim Township Writers Group.

“Writing is a very solitary thing,” said Melinda Newmin, the leader and spokesperson for the group. “It’s you and your computer. The purpose of the group is to give writers a place to congregate. There’s also a lot of learning that can come from critiquing. It teaches you to have tougher skin. It’s camaraderie, getting your work viewed by someone else, and it’s a toughening-up process.”

The Manheim Township Writers Group currently consists of 10 writers or aspiring writers, some of

whom have been published and some of whom haven’t. They are mostly local residents who range in age from 18 all the way up to people in their 60s.

Newmin said that traditionally 90% of the group members have been primarily novelists, but past and present members have also produced works of nonfiction, memoirs, poems, cookbooks and joke books.

group by email,” said Newmin. “Everyone gets reviews, comments and suggestions for change. We discuss them. We ask, ‘What did everyone see in the writing?’ It’s supposed to be constructive.”

“There’s also a lot of learning that can come from critiquing. It teaches you to have tougher skin.”

The Manheim Township Writers Group meets for 90 minutes to two hours on the first, third and fifth Tuesdays of each month at the Manheim Township Public Library.

“What we do is take three writers and have them submit their work to the other members of the

Writing a book is a huge undertaking requiring time, commitment, prioritizing and organizational skills. Newmin classifies writers into two general categoriesarchitects, who lay out stringent plans for their books and then follow them precisely, and gardeners, who “get an idea, throw it in the ground and see what sprouts.”

“I write for myself,” said Newmin, the author of two published science fiction novels. “When I stopped trying to guess what people wanted, I

think my writing became more interesting. I like letting my characters be characters. If you stay true to your characters, it’s always the right thing.”

The Manheim Township Writers Group was formed 11 years ago through the efforts of local author Lis King.

“(King) felt a need to start this group, and when she left, I took it over for her,” said Newmin. “The people who are in it have changed, but the format has not changed. Many people have one book in them. They write it and get out.”

“There are thousands of writers living among us,” said Newmin. “They struggle alone, and it’s a very tough job. We have very serious people who want to be professional writers. Folks genuinely want to be published. They’re trying to learn and brush up on their work.”

“While Girls on the Run has two seasons, it is a year-round effort to ensure the success of each season,” said West, GOTR’s new executive director. “As a staff, it’s our responsibility to set up our coaches for success. Then it all starts again. We’re always thinking of how we can engage the community more. We know how important it is for girls to have a safe place to land.”

Registration for GOTR’s fall campaign will run from Thursday, Aug. 10, through Friday, Sept. 15. The season will conclude on Sunday, Nov. 19, with GOTR’s inclusive and celebratory 5K run at Millersville University.

“My job is to ensure our program is up and running so we can serve as many girls in

Art studio to exhibit paintings

This summer, Mulberry Art Studios will revisit one of its signature artists and showcase more artworks of the late Lewis Lanza Rudolph.

it will all be new to the public. The exhibit will have opening receptions during First Fridays, Aug. 4 and Sept. 1, from 5 to 9 p.m.

Rudolph began painting in 1966 and continued into the late 1990s, mostly painting in obscurity. He lived his entire life in his childhood home in Red Bank, N.J., and

spent his free time alone, walking the boardwalks of Asbury Park to Belmar, N.J., and painting in his basement. He died in 2012 during valve replacement surgery.

Rudolph’s work is predominately abstract, created in oils on engineered wood with occasional added paper and wax layering. He was favorably critiqued by The New York Times during the time he spent showing his work in

the county as possible,” said Homan, GOTR’s new program director. “It’s about establishing our coaches so they can facilitate the program. Running is a component of our program, not a requirement. In each of the lessons, there are physical activity or games. We are encouraging girls to keep moving, based on the ability they bring each day.”

GOTR officials hope to make their program available through every school district in Lancaster County, an initiative that will depend upon the availability of volunteer coaches. There is a cost associated with the program, and financial aid is available.

In the spring, GOTR involved 900 Lancaster County girls, thanks in part to the time and effort committed by 380 volunteer coaches.

“Because they’re all volunteer coaches, it’s almost like starting fresh each season,” said West. “We rely on coaches coming back to coach the girls. We’re looking for positive role models to show kindness and compassion to the girls.”

“We knew Lancaster County was going to be so accepting of the program,” said West. “Girls on the Run is about conflict resolution, making good choices, being a good friend. Lancaster is the perfect spot for Girls on the Run, but we do rely on the community’s support.”

Lititz Rotary has come up with crafty way to serve community

BY JEFF FALK

Rows and rows of vendor tables stretching as far as the eye can see. Thousands of handmade items and pieces. If variety and selection are important, then bigger is better.

The annual Lititz Rotary Club Craft Show is billed as one of the biggest of its kind on the East Coast. It’s a claim to fame that benefits both show attendees and the borough of Lititz alike.

“It’s one of the largest craft shows anywhere,” said Tom Oehme, president of the Lititz Rotary Club and the show’s chairperson. “There’s such a wide variety of items there. If someone is looking for a specific item, they should be able to find it there.”

This year’s Lititz Rotary Club Craft Show will be presented from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12. The downtown business district will be barricaded, and the streets will come alive with unique handcrafted wares, food and up to 50,000 visitors.

About 525 artists will staff nearly 700 individual spaces spread across a 10-block area on East Main Street, on Broad

Street and into Lititz Springs Park. Admission to the event is free.

“I think for the most part people enjoy (the show) and they like that the money raised goes back to the community,” said Oehme.

The array of pieces that will be made available by the crafters from Lancaster County and surrounding counties that day includes woodwork, metalwork, pottery, jewelry, children’s clothing, knitted sweaters, quilts, photography, various artworks, kitchen items, aprons, hats, wreaths, brooms, candles and dolls.

The craft show is the only

annual fundraiser currently being conducted by the Lititz Rotary Club. Oehme said that the proceeds from the craft show will be presented by the club to local service agencies like local volunteer fire and ambulance crews.

“The purpose of the craft show is to raise money for the community,” said Oehme. “After expenses, the profits are donated to the community. Plus, some of our food vendors are nonprofits.”

Dating back to 1979, the Lititz Rotary Club Craft Show has enjoyed a long history of serving the community.

It started on Main Street, then expanded to Broad Street, and right now it’s big enough to fill up half the park. It’ll continue to grow, because we don’t seem to have any problems getting crafters to come.”

An offshoot of Rotary International, the Lititz chapter was founded in 1925 with 35 original members.

A collection of $1,300 was donated to Water for South Sudan, and 72 gallons of water were donated to Ephrata Area Social Services.

An Achievement Award was presented for the Safe Harbor Bridge Rehabilitation project in Manor Township. Restoration of the 125-foot-high trestle bridge began in 2015 and was finally completed and opened in June 2022. The entire 0.3-mile deck was replaced with 2,170 tons of concrete and wooden side rails at a cost of $9 million. The project was designed to be a showcase bridge with glass deck windows, bird viewing binoculars, an elevated viewing area and a pavilion. The bridge connects the 23-mile Enola Low Grade Rail Trail.

Growth and Tenfold was recognize with an Achievement Award. On March 31, 2022, the summit brought together the business, nonprofit, government and education sectors at Millersville University’s Ware Center to discuss Lancaster County’s challenges and opportunities. The Lancaster2040: Thinking Beyond Boundaries Summit focused on problem solving while working together to achieve the best for Lancaster.

Steeple View Lofts marks anniversary

Steeple View Lofts, located on North Water Street in Lancaster, marked 10 years of providing rental housing for people age 55 and up with a celebration bringing together residents, neighboring businesses, and others from the community.

Landis Communities president and CEO Larry Zook welcomed and thanked attendees. He shared that Steeple View Lofts came about as the result of feedback received in 2008 from stakeholders who expressed an interest in living downtown.

Marshall Snively, president of Lancaster City Alliance, noted the importance of having a multigenerational downtown and how the whole block is benefiting from the investment made in Steeple View Lofts. Attendees also heard from Dawn Watro, one of those who has resided at Steeple View Lofts the longest.

Evon Bergey, vice president of operations and COO at Landis Communities, brought the event to a close, pointing out that Steeple View Lofts has led to a larger investment by Landis Communities in the downtown core, with Landis Place on King set to open soon. Both Steeple View Lofts and Landis Place on King are

operated by Landis Quality Living, whose mission is to provide housing with services for adults to age in place and thrive in community. More information about Steeple View Lofts can be found at https://steepleviewlofts.com/, and information on Landis Place on King is available at www.landisplace.org.
