Landis Homes Fellowship Days to help residents live their best lives

BY JEFF FALK

Oneof the most effective ways to ensure benevolent care is through fellowship.

At least, that’s the approach that Landis Homes is taking with its Fellowship Days. The Manheim Township senior living community is seeking to raise $200,000 to help provide continued care for residents who have outlived their financial resources.

Landis Homes will conduct its annual Fellowship Days from Monday, Sept. 11, through Saturday, Sept. 16, on its campus at 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lititz. A variety of activities will be offered each day, all for one good cause.

“We call it ‘fill the gap,’ or the ‘Caring Fund,’” said Janice Nikoloff, Landis Homes’ event coordinator. “Benevolent care is very important. Sometimes things get complicated, and resources get tight. I think we’ll meet that ($200,000) goal. We

bring it up every year. The stakes keep getting higher.”

“It’s a community event,” continued Nikoloff. “To me, fellowship means a time for gathering and sharing time with people you live and work with. It’s an opportunity to get to know them better.”

Landis Homes Fellowship Days will begin on Monday with an online auction and conclude with an activity-filled day on Saturday.

In between, the Landis Homes campus will come alive with hymn sings, a talent show, speakers, food, games, music, entertainment, a harvest day celebration, yard sales, crafts, children’s activities and a live quilt auction.

“There’s something going on for everyone each day,” said Nikoloff.

“We hope that it’s a very exciting and joyful time for people. It allows residents to meet new people. It’s laid back, but it’s a fun event. I like changing things up, so people don’t get bored.”

Stair climb will honor fallen first responders

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

Lancaster County’s annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb will be held on Sunday, Sept. 17, at the Barnstormers’ stadium, 650 N. Prince St., Lancaster. Registration will begin at 8 a.m., followed by the stair climb at 9 a.m. Participants will be required to pay a set cost to sign up, and registration will also be available online at www.lancaster stairclimb.org until Friday, Sept. 15.

Once the memorial service begins, participants will begin a procession up the steps of the stadium. They

will circle the stadium five times, making the distance of the climb equivalent to the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. During the climb, each participant will carry an image or the badge of a first responder who was killed while responding to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Every year, many first responders travel to the Barnstormers’ stadium to participate in the event. Firefighters often choose to don their full set of equipment for the climb, carrying the same type of heavy gear that their fallen comrades did as they rescued those trapped in the See Stair climb pg 2

Among the keys to suicide prevention seem to be education, intervention and empathy.

It is with these ideas in mind that the annual Suicide Prevention Conference will be conducted on Tuesday, Sept. 19, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Spooky Nook Sports, 75 Champ Blvd., Manheim. The conference is being sponsored by the Suicide Prevention Coalition, a subsidiary of Mental Health America of Lancaster County (MHALC).

“We have guys from outside of the state who only see each other at the stair climb every year. It’s a common bond for people,” said Scott Yuill, a member of the East Petersburg Fire Company. “They swap stories and catch up. Firefighters already have a bond with each other, but the memorial makes that stronger.”

of the largest in the region. The proceeds from the Lancaster event will benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, which distributes funds to the New York City Fire Department’s counseling services. Many survivors, victims’ families and those who helped with rescue efforts continue to receive counseling over two decades after the attacks.

Similar memorial events are held throughout the country in almost every state, and Lancaster’s stair climb is one

Yuill helped to establish the annual stair climb in Lancaster 13 years ago as a way to honor fellow firefighter Ronald Pucca. Yuill and Pucca met at a training program in New York, and Pucca was one of the city’s fire marshals who was killed by the collapse of the World

Trade Center. Members of the community, especially first responders, immediately rallied in support of the memorial.

“The memorial gives people a unique way to show that they haven’t forgotten, like

everyone promised in the days after 9/11,” Yuill said. “Even the younger generations participate, despite being babies when it happened. They know that it’s about honor and sacrifice, and they honor that.”

Banquet will benefit Mt. Hope

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

“Mt. Hope gives over $1 million in charitable care every year, a feat made possible by the great amount of support from our local community,” said Kris Wilson, director of advancement for Mt. Hope Nazarene Retirement Community.

You can help support that mission by attending a Fall Benefit Banquet. The event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 23, at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church, 54 N. Penryn Road, Manheim. Doors will open at 5 p.m., and a catered meal will be served at 5:30 p.m.

The menu will feature homemade oven-baked bacon-wrapped pork loin stuffed with savory apple sausage, pork gravy, gourmet cheese potatoes, sweet and sour saucy green beans, tossed salad, homemade soft dinner rolls with butter, desserts and drinks.

Following the free meal, an inspirational program will take place with guest speakers, personal sharing and music. Silent and live

auctions of themed baskets will include homemade pies, cakes and breads; donated items from local businesses and individuals such as Koser Jewelers; experiences; gift cards to local attractions and retail stores; and passes to events, local entertainment and popular spots such as local golf courses, snow tubing and Sight & Sound Theatres.

“The mission and future vision of Mt. Hope will be shared, and attendees will also hear personal stories of how Mt. Hope touched people’s lives when they needed answers and provided a way to help families in need,” Wilson remarked. “Mt. Hope continues to be an inviting and welcoming place for everyone who needs our services. We are continuing strong in our founding mission to provide affordable, quality care in a Christian environment, serving the least of these, regardless of someone’s resources or everchanging financial circumstances.”

Mt. Hope is largely supported by Medicaid state

assistance, Wilson shared, noting that a large gap exists in what the state reimburses long-term care facilities and the actual cost of nursing care. “Raising funds to assist in helping residents who are not able to afford the cost of their care or benevolent care is a growing need,” she said.

This is the second year for the banquet fundraiser, which is the largest giving opportunity for the community to support the work of Mt. Hope. “We are striving to exceed our goal of $50,000, which is what was so generously shared last year,” Wilson said. “People attending the banquet will be truly amazed at everything Mt. Hope accomplished over the past few years. We have some exciting news about our future next steps as we begin the planning process of looking towards additional renovations and upgrades.”

To reserve individual, couple or group seating at the banquet, contact Wilson at 717-682-8026 or advance ment@mthopenazarene.org.

There is also an opportunity to be an event or table sponsor for a fee. The banquet reservation deadline is Friday, Sept. 15. The benefit meal is free; however, attendees at the banquet will have an opportunity to financially support the ongoing work of Mt. Hope as well as a suggested donation to support the cost of the banquet.

For more information about Mt. Hope, visit www.mthopenazarene.org.

Library sets book sale

The Manheim Township Public Library will hold its annual book sale from Tuesday, Sept. 12, to Thursday, Sept. 14, at Overlook Activities Center, 301 Golf Drive.

Hours will be Sept. 12 and Wednesday, Sept. 13, from 9

a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sept. 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, audiobooks, and puzzles will be available. On Sept. 14, items will be half-price. For more information, visit www.mtpl.info.

Firefighters from across the East Coast travel to Lancaster to participate in the stair climb each year.

Themed baskets, like the one shown here by resident Glenn Welsh, will be part of an auction event to benefit Mt. Hope Nazarene Retirement Community.

Fellowship Days frompg 1

Nikoloff said that up to 300 individuals could attend each activity. Landis Homes does host other events and fundraisers throughout the year, but none are as complex and involved as Fellowship Days.

This year will mark the 51st edition of Landis Homes Fellowship Days. Originally a one-day event, Landis Homes Fellowship Days has been a weeklong celebration since the onset of the pandemic.

“It’s kind of changed and become a weeklong series of things,” said Nikoloff. “We’re trying to make it something for people to look forward to. There’s a lot going on, and people can participate.”

“Initially, it was just a

gathering,” Nikoloff continued. “They started having a chicken barbecue, and then at some point, the auctions were added. About 25 years ago, we started to raise money for the Caring Fund (benevolent care). It’s evolved quickly, but always with the idea of fellowship right before the fall comes. I think it’s continuing to evolve, and we need to pay attention to what’s working.”

The founding of Landis Homes in 1964 only predates Fellowship Days by several years. Landis Homes, which offers independent living, assisted living and more personal health care, hosts 850 current residents.

Suicide prevention frompg 1

“I think we could cut down on 90% of suicides in Lancaster County,” said Kim McDevitt, the executive director of MHALC. “We want to teach people how to have tough conversations.”

As part of World Suicide Prevention Month, the Suicide Prevention Conference is expected to draw 250 people, mostly mental health professionals, to Manheim. But the conference is also meant to serve laypeople and community members who have been impacted by suicide.

The Suicide Prevention Conference will feature a number of renowned presenters, including keynote speaker Earl Granville, and will conclude with a panel discussion. Among the topics to be addressed are how to sit with someone who wants to die, supporting co-workers, the power of community and creating a culture of prevention.

“There’s a huge need in our community,” said Liz Grubb, education director for MHALC and the director of the conference. “I think education is power when it comes to prevention. We’re trying to view people with worth and value. We’re tackling a culture shift.”

The statistics are alarming. Lancaster County averages about 70 suicides each year, and as of July, a total of 41 county residents had taken their own lives in 2023.

“Our county is in line with the national averages,” said Grubb. “About two out

“It started out largely as a place for returning Mennonite missionaires to retire to,” said Nikoloff. “It was a much smaller facility, and it kept expanding over the years. I

think the initial mission has grown. We’re always thinking,‘Who are we?’”

of three adults believe they don’t have enough knowledge to identify the risks of suicide, but eight out of 10 would like to have more knowledge. When we see something, we have to speak up.”

Stress, anxiety and depression are some of the leading factors associated with suicides.

“It’s an impulsive decision,” said McDevitt. “They think that no one cares. The brain tricks them into thinking no one cares.”

Located at 245 Butler Ave., Suite 204, Lancaster, MHALC has a mission is to educate people about mental health and support the county’s mental health needs.

“We are the hub of mental health providers,” said McDevitt. “We are the go-to for people seeking mental health education and support. We’re taking down barriers. We’re pushing for hard conversation.”

Quilters will donate their finished product to be sold at Landis Homes Fellowship Days.

Rub-a-dub-dub ... Don’t slip in the tub!

“Danger” might not be the first word to come to mind when individuals consider their bathrooms. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that each year, more than 1.5 million aging adults visit emergency rooms for fallrelated injuries, many of which occur in the bathroom.

Many falls and spills that occur in the bathroom can be prevented. Seniors or their loved ones can make some minor adjustments to bathrooms so falls are less likely to happen.

People should install grab bars in their shower and bath and elsewhere, as necessary. Grab bars make it easier for aging men and women to get into and out of the shower or the tub by giving them something to hold on to. This assistance can be especially helpful

for seniors who must step up and over their tubs to get into the shower. Although grab bars are primarily used in showers and tubs, they also can be installed alongside toilets for seniors who could use a little help sitting down and getting up. AARP notes that sheltering arm grab bars provide the best support around toilets. Such grab bars come around both sides of the toilet and look similar to armrests.

Seniors may also want to install LED lighting in their bathrooms. Poor lighting in a bathroom can make it hard for seniors to see and thereby make them more vulnerable to falls. Lighting can be especially problematic for seniors who make frequent bathroom visits overnight. Even bathrooms with seemingly adequate lighting may be dangerous if they feature dated light

fixtures that rely on incandescent bulbs. These bulbs burn out with greater frequency than LED alternatives, which can last for years. The longer bulbs last, the less often seniors need to change them, which also reduces their risk for injury. In addition to replacing traditional fixtures with LED alternatives, individuals can plug in LED night lights that make it easy to see when making nighttime visits to the bathroom.

Non-slip bath mats can also be a helpful addition to a bathroom. Non-slip bath mats often utilize rubber-backed liners to ensure the mats stay put even when floors get wet or damp from condensation after a hot bath or shower. Non-slip mats can be placed

where individuals will enter and exit the shower and even by the toilet and sink to help individuals feel steady on their feet.

Seniors should remember to clean their bathrooms regularly. Bathroom surfaces can grow slippery from soap scum and condensation, and prompt and routine cleaning can reduce the likelihood that seniors will fall in their bathrooms. Seniors who have difficulty keeping up with household cleaning can hire a cleaning service or ask a younger relative to help them.

Seniors can fall anywhere in a home, but they may be more likely to do so in a bathroom. Various measures can help make bathrooms safer for aging individuals.

Strength training for seniors

A balanced diet and exercise, which includes a combination of aerobic activities and strength training, is necessary to maintain long-term health.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity is one of the most important things older adults can do to protect their overall health. Exercise helps to delay or prevent many of the conditions that come with age. Adults age 65 and older should aim for the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as brisk walking, and at least two days of activities that strengthen muscles. When it comes to muscle strengthening, seniors can follow a few safety guidelines.

- Speak with a health care provider first. Before beginning an exercise regimen, people should have a discussion with their general practitioner about their fitness goals. The doctor can recommend strategies that are safe and point out any exercises that may compromise the patient’s overall health.

- Master basic exercises first. Anyone new to strength training, which is sometimes known as resistance training, can start out slowly, even just using body weight to provide resistance. Resistance exercises can include squats, crunches, modified pushups, planks, and lunges.

- Advance to resistance bands. When a person is ready to move

on to something else, he or she may consider resistance bands as an alternative to free weights. The bands can help a person develop good form before introducing weight. Good form is key to avoiding injury.

- Work with a trainer. Working with a certified personal trainer can help a person learn how to use free weights and strength-training machines correctly. A trainer also can create a routine that includes the right number of sets and repetitions to gradually build and maintain muscle mass. If someone decides against hiring a trainer, gym staff members may guide them on using equipment and demonstrate proper form.

- Exercise with a friend. Strength training with a friend or family member can provide motivation and keep people on target to meet their goals.

- Build up gradually. A person’s first strength training session should only last 10 to 15 minutes, according to Tiffany Chag, a strength coach at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. This time limit enables the person to gauge soreness. Anyone new to strength training should wait until soreness abates before beginning the next session.

Exercises that build strength are a vital part of maintaining health as a senior. These exercises help maintain muscle mass and also improve balance and bone health.

Bike & Hike fundraising event planned

The 27th annual Bike & Hike, hosted by COBYS Family Services, will be held on Sunday, Sept. 10, at the Lititz Church of the Brethren, 300 W. Orange St., Lititz. The signature components of the gathering are a

3-mile walk through Lititz, a 10or 25-mile bicycle ride and a 65mile motorcycle ride. All events will end back at the church for the Incredible Ice Cream Celebration. First-time and returning participants are encouraged to join in.

The Bike & Hike provides an opportunity for individuals and families or other groups to support vulnerable children and families in the community while enjoying fresh air and tasty treats. As part of Bike & Hike, COBYS has launched the Kickstart Fund again this year. The goal is to raise $25,000 before Sept. 10 and raise awareness of the services COBYS provides. Those who are not able to bike

or hike are encouraged to attend the Incredible Ice Cream Celebration around 3:15 p.m. or make a donation to support the foster care, adoption, counseling and family life education related services provided by the human services organization.

Additionally, this year is the last Bike & Hike that longtime COBYS executive director Mark Cunningham will be in that role, as he will retire at the end of the year. Cunningham has decided to lead the walk this year and encourage sponsorship for his participation.

Registration will begin for the motorcycle ride at 12:30 p.m. and for the walk and bicycle ride at 1:30 p.m. The motorcycle

Veterans Court seeks volunteer mentors

The Lancaster County Veterans Treatment Court is seeking volunteer mentors for veterans involved in the court’s alternative sentencing program.

The court program is aimed at giving veterans who have committed a crime the opportunity to get their lives back on track. Those who complete the program successfully can have their record expunged, have more serious charges dropped and get a reduced sentence - possibly avoiding incarceration altogether. Program participants may have served in any branch of the U.S. military.

The rigorous program includes four phases, with requirements that participants abstain from alcohol and other drugs, find and maintain a job, participate in community service projects, attend court dates and show up for appointments with their probation officer and other court staff members.

The volunteer mentors must be veterans who are willing to take on a program participant as the participant moves through four phases. Mentoring typically involves attending weekly court sessions; keeping in touch with the mentee by text, phone or

personal contact; and serving as a supportive presence.

The Veterans Court is one of three treatment courts that have been established in the Lancaster County court system to give a second chance to offenders who have struggled with the use of alcohol and other drugs or who are struggling with an untreated mental illness. The Veterans Court is administrated by Judge Jeffery D. Wright, and the mentors’ involvement gives another layer of support to the participants who commit to the program.

Titan Gilroy named keynote speaker

Titan Gilroy will be this year’s featured keynote speaker at the MX2023 Manufacturers’ Expo to be held on Thursday, Nov. 9, at the York Expo Center.

Gilroy is CEO and founder of TITANS of CNC. Founded in 2005, the company specializes in manufacturing parts for the medical, subsea and aerospace industries.

Gilroy began his career in manufacturing when he walked away from his professional boxing career and his rough past, including prison time, and found himself in a CNC machine shop where everything in his life changed. He shared his story on the reality series “Titan: American Built,” which was dedicated to American manufacturing.

In the third season he went to San Quentin Prison and built an Elite CNC Academy. It was because of this experience that Gilroy developed the free TITANS of CNC Academy curriculum, which is now backed by aerospace companies and industry partners like Kennametal, Mastercam and Mitutoyo, and endorsed by more than 1,000 companies and agencies, including NASA,

Northrop Grumman, Boeing and Disney.

Gilroy will share a message of hope and redemption, along with practical tools for students, educators, shop owners and business leaders.
