When Paul Murr, Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) marching band director, and his staff choose a fall show, they know the program will have a certain type of theme. “We always choose something religious because that’s what the school is and the message (should be),” said Murr. This year’s show, “The Promise of Living,” will focus on the early days of the Old Testament, touching on the story of Noah and the covenant.

The first song, “The Promise of Living” by Aaron Copland, opens with a mellophone solo by River Olmsted, while the spotlight is on Emma Townshend performing a color guard solo with a 6-foot flag. The song builds into “Dies Irae” by Giuseppe Verdi. “(The title) means ‘death march,’” said Lydia Fuhrman, band vice president, who added, “It’s a contrast to the first piece.”

The third song is “Rainbow Connection,” written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher and made famous by Kermit the Frog. According to band president Annabelle Kiefer, while the second movement represents the storm and Noah’s ark, the third pays homage to God’s promise as symbolized by the rainbow representing hope for the future. Nicolletta Kiefer performs a color guard solo in “Rainbow Connection,” accompanied by a tenor sax solo. The song will also features an alto saxophone solo by Sam Parrish. The show concludes with “Appalachian Morning” by Paul Halley. Alix Maumus is the featured twirler.

During camp, which was held from Aug. 8 through 12 at the school, more than 40 band members, including color guards, braved the warm temperatures while working to learn the music and the drill. One particular challenge was the unusual and uneven steps on the final song.

To keep morale up, theme days were held. Monday was class color day, and Tuesday was beach day, when the students dressed in Hawaiian shirts and other beach attire. Wednesday was crazy hat and sock day. One student actually wore a banana costume for part of the day. Thursday was NASA day, and Friday was section theme day, where each section was encouraged to choose a theme and dress accordingly. In addition, students took time out to play kickball and have fun with water balloons.

Lancaster Catholic High School marching band members practiced the music and drill of “The Promise of Living” during band camp.

New Leaders Appointed to Lancaster Salvation Army

Majs. Sue and Tom Hinzman have been appointed to lead The Salvation Army Lancaster Citadel.

The Hinzmans have served as officers in The Salvation Army for the past 34 years in places such as northeast Ohio, central Kentucky, greater New York and eastern Pennsylvania. In 2019, Sue and Tom were presented with the “Key to the City” in Lexington, Ky., for their service and leadership in that community.

Sue has served as a coach and mentor for younger officers. She homeschooled all three of her and Tom’s children from elementary school through high school while maintaining her full-time ministry as a Salvation Army officer.

Tom was selected as one of Mahoning Valley’s Most Influential People in Youngstown, Ohio, and received the Man of the Year Award in Salem, Ohio. Later he received the Paul Harris Fellow Award from the Salem Ohio Rotary Club for his outstanding service to the community. He has led emergency disaster teams from northeast Ohio in disasters such as the 1993 flood in St. Louis; the 1994 USAir Flight 427 crash near Aliquippa; 9/11 at Ground Zero; and Hurricane Katrina in Baton Rouge, La., in 2005.

Sue and Tom were both born and raised in Beaver Falls. After attending high school together, they married and started their journey as one in ministry and mission in The Salvation Army. They entered The Salvation Army’s School for Officers’ Training in 1986 and were commissioned and ordained as officers in 1988.

They have three sons - Jeremy, Brennen and Christopher - and five grandchildren.

Sweigart is friends with John Wagner, a member of the board of The Potter’s House, a nonprofit organization that offers a holistic approach to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of pre-release and post-release prisoners and individuals desiring to overcome addictions. Knowing the organization’s focus, Sweigart nominated it to receive support from the Legacy of Caring Fund.

In July, Sweigart presented a check for $6,500 to Lanny Millette, director of donor relations with The Potter’s House. “I was happy to nominate (The Potter’s House),” said Sweigart.

“We sure appreciate it,” replied Millette, who noted that the funds will be used to help build up the program aspects that help men and women to be self-sufficient citizens again. “We are working on both curriculum and staffing,” reported Millette. “We are seeing positive improvements in student outcomes.”

The Potter’s House was started in Leola by executive director Lloyd Hoover. The tagline “From Captivity to Destiny” has long encapsulated the mission of The Potter’s House. What began with one house in Leola has expanded to include a house in New Holland and Still Waters Recovery Center in Brownstown. At Still Waters, Joel Jakubowski, men’s program director, oversees an intensive phase one program to address the roots of issues and provide a restorative foundation before the men move into phase two and fulltime employment.

According to Millette, addiction has been tied to an interruption of the natural maturation process, which can cause an individual to experience arrested growth and development. To remedy this, the program works to teach life skills, including financial management and how to negotiate interpersonal relationships. Once a student is employed, he or she can build income and satisfy debt and restitution. Because addiction impacts families in emotional, mental, social, and economic areas, The Potter’s House curriculum includes a program that incorporates family understanding in the recovery process.

Millette noted that the pandemic has impacted the addiction situation in Lancaster County significantly, and he cited job loss and isolation as factors. He added that the correlation between substance abuse and incarceration is substantial.

In addition to The Potter’s House campuses, the organization offers The House of Ruth, a ministry to women facing addiction issues.

Summer campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschools recently participated in two community service projects.

Campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool Lancaster donated more than $350 to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a national childhood cancer foundation dedicated to funding research, raising awareness, supporting families and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. To raise money for the foundation, campers sold lemonade and cookies to their fellow campers, their families, staff members and teachers.

Campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool at College Hill donated more than $100 to Lancaster County Community Foundation, which supports more than 500 local organizations and works to better the community for generations to come. To raise money for the foundation, campers held a Penny War at the school, where classrooms competed to see who could collect the most pennies.

Through both initiatives, campers learned the importance of spreading kindness and helping those in need.
