Manheim Township

Community To Celebrate Autumn

BY ANN MEAD ASH

“We have had a Fall Fest f or many years,” said Annette Kroeck, who handles admissions and marketing for Neffsville Nursing and Rehabilitation. Kroeck explained that the organization switched to holding an outdoor Trunk or Treat a few years ago due to COVID-19 restrictions. “We feel it’s time to get back inside and be face-to-face with residents,” said Kroeck. “It’s what they need.” She added that Neffsville is still reaching out to people in the Manheim Township community and hoping to get more organizations to join in the event.

Neffsville Nursing and Rehabilitation, 2829 Lititz Pike, Lancaster, will hold its annual Fall Fest Health Fair on Friday, Oct. 21, from 4 to 6 p.m. Activities will be held both inside and outside the facility.

Children will be able to trick-ortreat inside the facility, and they are encouraged to dress up. “We hope to have staff and residents dress up

as well and decorate doors,” said Kroeck.

Outside, Kroeck hopes to have up to 10 cars with their trunks open to display a fall theme. She noted that local schools, including a cyberschool; local businesses; and a hospice will sponsor trunks. “There will

be a lot of candies and goodies,” she said. Carnival-type games, such as cornhole and a ring toss, will be available to play. During the week prior to the event, staff and resident families will paint pumpkins, and those will be judged during the fest.

Members of the Manheim Town-

ship Police Department will be at the fest performing car seat safety checks, and Kroeck hopes to hold a blood drive during the event.

Food trucks, including Pepper Pot from Harrisburg, will be on-site to provide food items for purchase.

Kroeck pointed out that the

event will be held rain or shine. “(If it rains,) we will just move the activities inside and use tables instead of trunks,” she said. Readers who would like to learn more may search for “Neffsville Nursing and Rehab” on Facebook or visit https://neffsvillerehab.com.

“I am super excited,” said Michelle Gibbs, program director with House of His Creation (HOHC), as she headed down to the basement of the house at 301 N. Broad St., Lititz. “All of this is new.” The new area includes a Cricut Creation Station Gibbs has set up to teach the mothers who live at HOHC how to make personalized items and a boutique for the mothers to shop in.

Lions Schedule White Cane Days

BY ANN MEAD ASH

The Manheim Township Lions Club has announced that its annual White Cane Days will be observed on Friday, Oct. 14, and Saturday, Oct. 15. White Cane Safety Day is a national observance in the United States, celebrated on Oct. 15 of each year since 1964. The date is set aside to celebrate the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired and the white cane as a symbol of blindness and a tool of independence.

As in the past, Lions Club members will be stationed at Savemart in Roseville Square on Fruitville Pike; Knight & Day Diner, 3140 Lititz Pike, Lititz; and Brewers’ Outlet, 111 Butler Ave., Lancaster, on both days to accept contributions to benefit programs for people who are blind and visually impaired. Youth members of the affiliated Manheim Township Leos Club will assist at Savemart and the Knight & Day Diner.

area

Gibbs has used the Cricut machines to create T-shirts, mugs, jewelry, and purses with the HOHC logo on them. “Who doesn’t love personalized items?” asked Gibbs. “My goal is to help the women learn some entrepreneurship skills because we know that as a single mom, it takes a lot (to support yourself and your baby),” she explained. “You need to be able to generate extra income and still be mom to your children.” Gibbs said creating the station has been on her heart for a while. In addition to the Cricut station, Gibbs has stocked the area with arts and crafts items. “Some of the women like to draw or sew,” she noted. “We want to be able to offer them something they can do to make some extra money during those first months (when) you want to be

there with your child.”

Adjacent to the Cricut station is the small boutique. “(Women at HOHC) can earn points to purchase things for their children and themselves,” said Gibbs. Points can be earned by attending certain classes, preparing a meal, or cleaning office space. Gibbs has lined the shelves of the boutique with baby items such as diapers, wipes, shampoo, baby clothes, and stuffed animals. A few larger items, including strollers, playpens, and a highchair, are also available. Other items in the boutique include backpacks, school supplies, and journals, and Gibbs has stocked pots, pans, and cookbooks f or program graduates who are ready to leave HOHC.

Changes at HOHC, which provides housing and other support to pregnant women age 18 and over, have been occurring in the last several months. Matthew Neff, director of HOHC, and his wife, Callie, program director with

Michelle Gibbs displays items she can teach women to make in the boutique she created in the basement of House of His Creation in Lititz.

HOHC South, recently relocated to Florida, where they opened 685, a refuge for girls who have been rescued from human trafficking.

In Lititz, Gibbs said, the house is prepared to accommodate up to four women at a time. New house parents Bill and Trish Sclafani are settled on the third floor.

“We are excited to open these doors again,” said Gibbs, who said that women should primarily be in their first or second trimester of pregnancy and that they may

remain at the house for six months after delivery. Gibbs works with a number of outside agencies to bring together all the components a woman needs during her pregnancy and after, including A Woman’s Concern and the Nurse-Family Partnership. Gibbs has also instituted the Stepping Up House of His Creation Aftercare program for women who choose to continue to receive services after leaving HOHC.

A Run With Color

BY ANN MEAD ASH

Torie Hermann, one of the organizers of the Manheim Township Middle School (MTMS) PTO Run with Color, wants those interested in participating to know that they can run or walk in the event. “It will be a fun day. Nothing too serious,” noted Hermann.

The MTMS PTO Run with Color will be held on Saturday, Oct. 22, beginning at 10 a.m. at the middle school, 155 School Road, Lancaster. Runners and walkers are encouraged to wear white. Staggered start times will be between 10 and 11 a.m. Those wishing to participate may register at https:// tinyurl.com/MTMSColor Run-22 or at 10 a.m. on the day of the event.

“We realized we haven’t had a run with color in the area for a long time,” said Hermann, who noted the run will begin in the middle school parking lot. “We will run basically the whole campus,” she noted, pointing out that the high school, the middle school, and Landis Run Intermediate School will all be along the 5K course.

“We will have five or so color stations where runners will get blasted with colorful dust.”

Hermann said funds raised by the event will aid the PTO in projects at the school, including field trips and special events for students, such as the Spring Fest. “(The Spring Fest) is an afterschool activity for all the kids,” explained Hermann. “They play games, have snacks, dance to music.” Hermann said the PTO also holds fun lunches where members visit the cafeteria to play music and hand out prizes. To help teachers, PTO members stock breakrooms with snacks and provide lunches during conference time and teacher appreciation gifts at the end of the school year. “We try to give (teachers) a little boost,” said Hermann. “The last few years haven’t been easy.”

Organizers hope to see a few hundred runners take part and to earn a few thousand dollars to help teachers and students.

Readers who have questions may email mtwpms pto@gmail.com or call 717917-2480.

During White Cane Days, club members will accept donations to benefit programs such as Pennsylvania Lions Beacon Lodge near Mount Union, which provides a summer camp experience for children and adults with special needs such as blindness; Leader Dogs for the Blind, which enables people who are blind, visually impaired, or deaf and blind to travel independently; VisionCorps of Lancaster, which provides life enhancement skills by combining clinical services, education, and employment programs for people who are blind or visually impaired; and other Pennsylvania Lions District 14-D activities.

According to Lion Jeremy Mattern, the club also collects used eyeglasses at local optometric offices, and transports them to the New Jersey Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center.

“We make two or three trips to (the New Jersey center) a year,” said Mattern, who added that the club has donated more than 89,000

Club member Steve Focht pointed out that through Lions Clubs International, the club also responds to disasters in places like Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic as well as in the U.S. “We shipped stuff to Kentucky last winter,” said Focht, recalling that two trailer loads were sent to help tornado victims. “We will be collecting things to go to Kentucky again,” he said.

The Manheim Township Lions Club holds dinner meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month from September through June at Brethren Village in Neffsville.

Second Steps Trunk Or Treat Planned

BY ANN MEAD ASH

W hen Adriana Witman, school-age program administrator with Steps to Success, a Christian preschool and day care service, saw how well the organization’s 2021 Trunk or Treat went, she was happy to plan another. “It was very successful and exciting,” reported Witman.

As a result, the second Steps to Success Trunk or Treat will be held on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the parking lot of the Zion Lutheran Church, 18 Quarry Road, Leola.

Food items at the event will include free hot dogs provided by Zion Lutheran Church and s’mores. Members of local Boy

Scout troops 82 and 83 will tend the fire pits for roasting marshmallows.

Families from both Conestoga Valley and Donegal have been invited to decorate trunks for the event. Trunk themes will include ScoobyDoo and Harry Potter. Organizers believe they can fit up to 40 cars in the ample lot behind the church. Attendees are encouraged to dress up in costume for the event.

Witman noted that Steps serves a total of 150 families and 200 children in all its programs.

Tax Credits Available To Farmers

A statewide program is offering $13 million in tax credits to help Pennsylvania farmers install conservation practices that can improve long-term viability, keep soil on the land, and reduce pollution flowing into local rivers and streams. Tax credits through the Resource Enhancement and Protection Program (REAP) program offset 50% to 75% of the costs of notill planting and precision agriculture equipment, cover crops, f orested streamside buffers, barnyard improvements, waste storage facilities, conservation plans, nutrient management plans, and other practices.

Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) started and led a diverse

coalition that advocated for the creation of REAP in 2007. It was amended in 2019 as part of the Pennsylvania Farm Bill, and REAP has received funding increases in the years since. According to the State Conservation Commission, REAP tax credits have been used on over 3,000 farming operations across the commonwealth since 2007.

To learn more about the Pennsylvania Farm Bill and to apply for the first-come, firstserved REAP program, visit www.agriculture.pa.gov; information about REAP is available by clicking on State Conservation Commission under Plants, Land & Water.
