An Event of Distinction and Similarities
BY JEFF FALK
Song, dance, cuisine, accessories, culture. What’s not to like?
Not only does the One World Festival bring people out, the event brings people together. “Personally, I think people are more similar than they are different,”
said Deepa Balepur, the chairperson of the nine-member One World Festival committee. “At the end of the day, we’re all human beings striving to be good citizens of the world. One world, many cultures, shared future.”
The next installment of the annual One World Festival is upon
us. The multicultural, multifaceted, multipurpose festival will be staged from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28, at Franklin & Marshall College’s Alumni Sports and Fitness Center, 929 Harrisburg Ave., Lancaster. The sponsored event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome, but registration at

Neighborhood Makes Grandview Heights Houses Homes
BY JEFF FALK
Documents show that Grandview Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Manheim Township. Grandview Heights is also one of the largest neighborhoods in Manheim Township and perhaps one of the friendliest.
Residents are currently preparing to celebrate everything that makes Grandview Heights a neighborhood.
Start the Presses

The .918 Club will provide just the “types” of things that interest people who enjoy letterpress printing.
The 12th annual Lancaster Printers Fair will be held Saturday, Sept. 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Willow Street Fire Company, 2901 Willow Street Pike.
There will be no admission charge and plenty of free parking. The event will be held rain or shine. Go to www.lancaster printersfair.org for additional information.
There will be 21 vendors from all over the East Coast, .918 Club president Kenneth Kulakowsky said. “They’re going to have a variety of equipment, supplies, and printed materials, and demonstrations all involved around print making,” he added. Hot dogs, Turkey Hill drinks, and Herr’s potato chips will be sold.
“There’s going to be a lot of old equipment that’s going to be available for sale and supplies that we’re selling out of our overages,” said Kulakowsky. “We got a lot of donations, and after we get doubles and triples and so forth, we try to get it into the hands of hobby printers who would like to continue on with the printing process.”
Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the craft. “If they have if they want to find out what print making and letterpress printing is about, this is the place they should go,” Kulakowsky said. “There are multiple approaches of the same process. And you always say it’s not your grandfather’s printing

press anymore. The stuff that people are doing now with printing, it’s not commercial printing. It’s more all art and hobby printing and very specialized printing that’s being done by individuals. And the commercial aspect of it has long gone for letterpress printing. But as far as the printing of personalized items and specialty items, it’s still very viable.”
The Printers Fair is the group’s major fundraising project. “It used to help us fund the Letterpress Printing Center (on the campus of Thaddeus Stevens College), which was closed down in 2023,” Kulakowsky said. “We’re still trying to find a new location and not having much luck right now. That’s why we’re trying to raise more money so we can have money to reopen it. It was all hands-on activities for school kids.”
The .918 Club previously hosted Scouts and school
groups at the Letterpress Printing Center. “They wanted to know about the history, and we do the history of communications,” Kulakowsky said. “If you have a group that’s studying this the Civil War and you want to know how communications and printing was done in the Civil War, we can show them, and we used to be able to have them actually set up type and print.” The museum located at 346 N. Queen St., Lancaster, is now big enough to do that.
The .918 Club’s name is derived from the way printing was done. “The letters are put together one at a time to form words and sentences,” Kulakowsky said. “Even though there are different sizes, they have one size that’s the same for both pieces, and that’s the height, which is 0.918 of an inch. So anything you have to use for printing, all the presses are set up that all the type is
0.918 of an inch high.”
Sept. 18 (9/18) is National Letterpress Appreciation Day, so the fair is always held on the Saturday closest to that date, Kulakowsky explained.
The .918 Club meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at The Studios in The Candy Factory, 342 N. Queen St., Lancaster, which is in the same complex as the museum.
Everyone is welcome, and the .918 Club is always
seeking volunteers. “We’re looking for people who want to help here in the museum,” said Kulakowsky. We go through a couple orientations. We don’t put them out by themselves, naturally. We will mentor them for a while to see until they feel comfortable about running the museum.”
The museum is staffed by volunteers from noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays and on First Friday nights.

Choices Healthcare Names New President and CEO
Choices Healthcare has announced the appointment of Michael Link as its next president and chief executive officer, effective Wednesday, Oct. 1. The decision follows a national search and reflects unanimous support from the board of directors. Choices Healthcare is the parent organization of Hospice & Community Care and Hospice of Central PA. Link has been with the organization for more than two decades. He joined Choices Healthcare, then known as Hospice of Lancaster County, in 2001 as an information systems trainer. Over the years, he advanced through roles including director of information technology, vice president and chief information officer, chief administrative officer and, most recently, chief operating officer. Link holds a bachelor’s
degree in applied management from Pennsylvania College of Technology and an MBA from Southern New Hampshire University, both earned with honors. He has national connections in the hospice and palliative care field. Steve Knaub, the current Choices Healthcare president and CEO, will serve as special adviser to the board through his retirement on Wednesday, Dec. 31.

“My favorite part is the people,” said Colin Cook, a longtime resident of Grandview Heights and an advocate of the neighborhood. “For me, (Grandview Heights neighbors) have been my family since I was a kid. It’s very rare to have that relationship with neighbors. The times I remember as a kid are something out of a Faulkner novel. Every corner has a story to tell. I want more people to come to know that. Everyone wants to know where they’re from, and sometimes it’s hard to find that out.”
Cook is also part of a committee that has spent the last nine months planning and preparing for the Grandview Heights 100th Anniversary Block Party, which will take place from noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 27. The celebration of history, people and neighborly values will be conducted on several residential blocks of Pleasure Road and McGrann Boulevard surrounding Grandview Church, 888 Pleasure Road, Lancaster.
The sponsored event
is free to attend for current and past residents of Grandview Heights.
The 100th anniversary block party will be preceded on Tuesday, Sept. 23, by a presentation from Manheim Township Historical Society president Ben Webber on the history of the Grandview Heights neighborhood.
“The way I look at it, it’s a celebration of what it took to build a great neighborhood to this point,” said Cook. “Apparently, we could be classified as an historic district just based on the architecture. Fostering that sense of community is really important. It’s a celebration of people who are here now and who came before us.”
The family-friendly Grandview Heights 100th Anniversary Block Party will feature a kids’ area complete with bouncy castles; 10 vendors; five food trucks; and live music from seven bands or duos, all of whom have ties to Grandview Heights.
“I think the atmosphere will be celebratory, but relaxed,” said Cook. “You
can come out, and it’s handshakes and hugs. It’s everybody coming out and seeing each other in person. It’s that idea of getting together, talking about memories and making new ones.”
Located in the southernmost part of Manheim Township and bordering on the city of Lancaster, Grandview Heights hosts nearly 750 houses and is home to just about 2,000 residents. The development’s homes range in value, with the median worth estimated to be around $300,000.
The neighborhood’s treelined streets and quiet, quintessential middle-class vibe represent the traditional view of American suburbia.
“I would argue that that’s true,” said Cook. “That combination of sidewalks, big yards and alleys, you don’t see that much anymore. It’s meant to be walked. It wasn’t designed to be driven. When it was built, suburbia was a new idea. It’s a really, really neat mix of homes and concepts of how you want to live.”
A century ago, Grand -
view Heights was 400 acres of farmland owned by the McGrann and Rohrer families. The land was developed by Samuel Slaymaker, and in 1928, the first home was completed.
Houses in Grandview Heights have been built at varying rates throughout the development’s history, with the most recent being completed in the 2010s.
“It’s continued to be added to, and it’s continued to grow,” said Cook. “The framework is there, and people fill it in. But it’s always been a family-driven neighborhood. It’s always been a hot real estate market. It’s been a great place to raise a family, and (some) people have stayed here for a long time.”
Cook was raised in Grandview Heights in the 1990s and 2000s, and after pursuing an education, he has returned to the place that created those childhood memories. Now 35, he is married and raising his own young family there.

feature opportunities to explore hit and miss gas engines and antique tractors and see a wide variety of demonstrations.
“We’ll have a blacksmith, someone pressing apple cider, shelling corn demonstrations,” he noted, adding that war re-enactors will also be on-site. A variety of craft vendors will also be featured.
Lots of activities will be offered for children as well, said Tonya Bernhard, a member of the organizing committee.
“We have barrel train rides for the kids,” she said. “We have a pumpkin patch they can ride a wagon to and pick out a pumpkin, one pumpkin per person. There is a kids’ zone run by Word of Life Church with games for kids to play, and that’s all free.”
Food and music will also be featured.
“All of our food is from civic organizations and local churches,” Tonya said,
noting that the entire event is sponsored by the Conoy Lions Club.
Summit Hill will provide live music on Saturday beginning at 11 a.m.
At 3 p.m. on Saturday, a benefit auction will be held, with proceeds used to fund future field days.
“You never know what you’re going to find at the auction,” Tonya shared. “It’s donated goods, so we don’t know what’s going to be there until a few days before it happens.”
For the church service on Sunday morning, all of the churches in Conoy Township come together to worship, Ron said, highlighting the community aspect of the field days.
Both Ron and Tonya have been helping to organize the event for decades, and they look forward to it every year. They are joined by a committee of volunteers that includes their son, Mitchell, along with Kevin and Sandy Baker.
The overall atmosphere of the Old Fashioned Field Days is relaxing and inviting, Tonya said, and people are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets and spend the day, or both days, at the event.
“There’s something for everyone, and there is so much to see and do,” she said. “People who have no interest in gas engines and tractors will still be there all day. There’s lot of things for kids to do.”
The festival draws thousands of people each year, many of whom have been coming since they were children and now attend with their own kids.
“A lot of people come for both days,” Ron said. “It’s just a good, friendly community event. It’s really family oriented.”
The event will be held rain or shine. For more information, follow “Susquehanna Old Fashioned Field Days” on Facebook.

One World
at https://oneworldfestival lancaster.org is requested.
“We might have different customs and flavors, but we are all living in this one world,” said Jenny Schulder Brant, a member of the One World Festival committee. “We do need to interact, and we have to find that common thread that unites us. We have people from all over the world living in this community. We all send our kids to school together. It’s nice to be able to celebrate that.”
This year’s One World Festival will feature 12 musical/dance performing groups, including ones from the Indian, Latin-American, Irish, Greek, Middle Eastern, traditional German and Jewish communities. On the average, each performance will last about 20 minutes.
Also featured will be seven food vendors offering Asian, Indian, Latin, Egyptian, Italian and Greek cuisine and one offering international desserts. In addition, the festival will include a dozen global merchandise vendors.
The family-friendly event will also include a kids’ area complete with arts and crafts, activities, face painting, balloon animals and caricature drawing.
“There’s a lot of energy,” said Kris Bradley, One World Festival’s marketing director. “From the first (musical) performance it’s amazing, and then it’s just one after the other. You’ve got to go just to see the performances.”
“It’s very festive,” said Balepur. “It’s just a great time for everyone. To see Lancaster County come together, it’s uplifting.”
and different heritages.
“They are people who are looking to have fun and have a family experience that’s also educational,” said Schulder Brant. “It’s amazing being part of a community of like-minded people who are looking to understand people who are ‘different’ than them. Everyone in that room is choosing to be there with an open mind.”
“They are people who are genuinely interested in learning about different cultures,” said Balepur. “We have observed that, and there is a lot of genuine conversation. Last year, someone told me, ‘This is as close as I’ll get to visiting these countries.’”
Following periods of discussion and planning, the One World Festival was established in 2022. The concept was met with initial enthusiasm, and the event has just kept gaining momentum since.
“It started off with a bang and a couple of thousand attendees, and it’s stayed like that,” said Balepur. “We’re really receptive to community feedback. We heard the community when they said, ‘We had a great time, but why not try …’ When we all come together, share our traditions and learn from each other, we build a stronger community for all of us. That’s what makes Lancaster County such a special place.”
