Manheim Township

Bringing

BY ANN MEAD ASH

Gwen Marinaro, executive director with Manheim Township Bible2School, is pleased with the fall enrollment in the Bible study program that currently serves Bucher, Neff, Nitrauer, Reidenbaugh, and Schaeffer elementary schools. “As of now, we have 171 students,” said a smiling Marinaro in mid-October. “I think this is the most we have had

this early on, and it’s exciting.”

Bible2School is a released time program offering free elective Bible instruction to Manheim Township School District public school attendees in second, third, and fourth grades. Participants may walk or are bused to a church or other location near the school. During the 55minute weekly program, trained volunteers teach lessons from the Bible and discuss how principles from those lessons can apply to the

students’ own lives.

According to Marinaro, the program is offered to children in all three grades at Bucher, Neff, Nitrauer, and Schaeffer. Currently, the Reidenbaugh program is offered to second- and third-grade students, but Marinaro hopes to add fourth grade next year. This year’s classes began on Sept. 19, and they will end during the third week of April 2023. Because the program uses an open enrollment system,

students may enroll at any time.

Marinaro explained that the Bible2School program divides the curriculum according to grade level.

“Second grade focuses on the Old Testament, and then third grade (studies the) New Testament, and fourth grade (learns) discipleship,” she said. Each session includes several essential parts. “Once we get to the church, we sit down, and we open up with prayer,” said Marinaro, who noted that children will

bring their own lunches or a brown bag lunch packed by the school. The students eat their lunches while a teacher engages them in the main lesson before the students break into small groups. “(During) small group time, they dig deeper into the lesson, and sometimes there’s a craft,” said Marinaro, who noted that small group teachers generally end the session with prayer before the entire group closes with a worship song.

Jason Lichty of Leola is an artist with a broad resume. He paints, draws, sculpts, and more, but his love is stained glass, and while he wished to make a career in that area, he did not think it was likely to happen. “I thought for sure the stained glass end of things was just going to be a hobby,” said Lichty. “I was convinced it was just going to be an extension of my other artwork.”

Not only has Lichty developed a stained glass repair business that

has him working “around the clock” and booked up to six months in advance, but in September, collector Bill Hylen, owner of Coming Up Roses Antiques in Adamstown, brought Lichty a Tiffany window to repair. “It’s just a thrill of a lifetime,” said Lichty, who kept the job a secret until the repair was complete. “There’s a really good chance that for the rest of my career, I’ll never come across another Tiffany window.” Lichty added that his friends who work in stainedglass both locally and around the country are in awe of his opportunity. “They’re just blown away,” said Lichty.

The window came from the All Angels’ Church in New York City and was designed by John B. Snook. The church was founded in 1890, and the Tiffany windows were a commission. The windows were still part of the church when it was sold to be demolished in 1979. The windows were auctioned to Gene Holloway, who had them installed in a Tampa, Fla., restaurant. In

Piano

2021, Hylen recognized the Cherub Roundels featured in the windows and purchased them.

Lichty explained that in stained glass, certification of authenticity is called provenance, which he noted could range from a bill of sale to a photograph of a relative with the piece of art 100 years ago.

“Fortunately, the All Angels’ Church has extensive records on this Tiffany commission, so these are well-known windows,” said Lichty.

In his office, Lichty keeps a few examples of windows prior to repair. “You can see (this window is) filthy, and it’s buckled,” he said, explaining that the warping is caused by expansion and contraction from enduring changes in weather. He noted that the putty that seals the window falls out over time, and the window starts to come apart under its own weight. “Most people who own stained glass, even major churches, don’t do the scheduled renovations that are necessary,” he pointed out, adding that if repairs

Concerts Posted

The Trust Performing Arts Center will partner with Lancaster International Piano Festival (LIPF) during the 2022-23 season for three concerts. The first LIPF concert is set for 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 30, in the Great Hall of The Trust, 37 N. Market St., Lancaster, and will feature awardwinning virtuosic prodigy Qianxiang “Daniel” Ma, a 17year-old junior at Lancaster Mennonite High School. Ma, who has been studying piano with Dr. Xun Pan since age 14, will perform works by Beethoven and

Chopin. He has won several prizes in many international piano competitions, including first prize in the Junior Group at the Lancaster International Piano Festival Piano Competition as well as the Golden Prize and the Best Performance of Liszt Piano Works Prize at the World Piano Teachers Association International Piano Competition.

The LIPF concert series will continue Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023, at The Trust with a joint performance by Ma’s instructor, Xun Pan, and cellist Hai-Ye Ni. Pan, a Steinway artist, has been internationally recognized and awarded, and Ni is the Philadelphia Orchestra’s principal cellist. On Friday, May 5, 2023, the Gabriel Chamber Ensemble will close the 2022-23 series with a performance of chamber music repertoire and features Simon Maurer, violin; Dana Allaband, violin; Agnès Maurer, viola; Ai-Lin Hsieh, cello; and Xun Pan, piano. Both concerts will begin at 7:30 p.m.

are done every so many years, the windows will retain their beauty and integrity for far longer.

According to Lichty, stained glass can often be authentically restored because glass is available from windows that are beyond repair or new glass can be purchased. “The miracle of stained glass is that there’s two companies making the same glass since the 1880s,” he said, noting that Paul Wissmach Glass Company in

West Virginia and have both continued to make the glass they made for Tiffany and for La Farge, the other wellknown American stainedglass creator.

For Lichty, a Conestoga Valley High School graduate, working on the Tiffany means he has reached goals and moved beyond. “It was my dream to open up some sort of stained glass repair shop in my hometown,” he said. It appears that repairing a Tiffany has been icing on that cake.

Jason Lichty is known for his work with antique stained glass windows.

East Region for Penn State Health. The medical center is located near the intersection of State Road and Harrisburg Pike in East Hempfield Township.

The new hospital is an acute care facility, and it will offer both inpatient and outpatient care from its sixstory, 341,000-square-foot location that features 132 private patient beds. “Lancaster Medical Center will have inpatient services, including a cardiac catheterization lab, cardiac surgery, general surgery, labor and delivery, and complete medical and surgical capabilities,” Frank noted. “It will offer outpatient services such as an Emergency Department, imaging services and physician offices.”

Unique features at the facility include a “hybrid operating room,” Frank said, explaining that this state-of-the-art design is an advanced procedural space that includes a traditional operating room (OR) and medical imaging devices.

“Having advanced imaging and surgical technologies available in the same space makes it easier on the patient,” he remarked. “Our teams will be able to give them a single visit to the hybrid OR as opposed to multiple procedures. It allows us to do more advanced interventions in the operating room.”

W hile Frank emphasized that the most important feature of Lancaster Medical Center is its team of caregivers, he detailed design features that reflect the organization’s commitment to a healthy work environment. Departments and units are designed to promote staff collaboration and efficient workflow that reduces steps and provides quick access to supplies when minutes matter, he said. “A state-of-the-art café with indoor and outdoor seating provides healthy dining in a soothing atmosphere,” Frank shared. “Meditation areas, abundant windows with panoramic views, art and

décor designs and the walking trail further promote wellbeing for staff and visitors.”

Construction on the hospital began in 2020. “Being able to design a hospital from scratch gives you many opportunities to incorporate design and technology into an exceptional patient experience,” Frank said. “We’ve planned so we are able to provide state-of-the-art technology for the community needs now and in the future as our community grows. We’ve engaged our physician partners in the technology choices just as our nurses are engaged in designing our care. And we’ve added expanded consumer technologies like inroom digital patient education to not only provide the highest level of quality care, but also easy accessibility, comfort and convenience.”

Projected population growth was an important factor in choosing the site of the new medical center, he said. “ We know that Lancaster

County is growing, and along with population growth will come the need for more health care services,” he commented. “This location provides a comfortable and convenient access to Penn State Health care, especially for an aging population. It allows us to anticipate the city’s outgrowth and plan for our community of 10 years from now. And not just in age, but in many other measures of diversity. Understanding the changing face of our community has been a key driver for our decisions from staffing, to care design to locations.”

Gifts Made With Love

BY ANN MEAD ASH

Handmade gifts have a special place in the hearts of many givers and receivers during the holiday season. The Lititz Art Association (LAA) Holiday Gift Show, which features more than 20 local artists, is ready to provide a variety of handmade items suitable for gifting.

The year’s Holiday Gift Show will be held once again at Lititz Church of the Brethren, 300 W. Orange St., Lititz, on Friday, Nov. 11, from 3 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 12, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The church has just been fantastic. They have been delightful,” said Beth Kaylor Brunner, LAA member and show organizer.

According to Kaylor Brunner, the participating artists work in a variety of mediums, including watercolors, acrylics, oils, ornaments, woodcarving, and graphics. “We’ll have jewelry, ceramics, mixed media, and fiber arts, and some of our members have mugs, prints, and cards.”

“ We will have a special guest,” noted Kaylor Brunner. “The church has a group called the Golden Needles, and they asked last year if they could join us.” The Golden Needles, which is made up of members who do quilting and complete sewing

projects, will take part in the show for the second year. “It was wonderful to have them (last year), and they are joining us again this year, which is just delightful,” she said.

Kaylor Brunner praised the convenience of the location for attendees. “What’s nice is we’ve got plenty of parking, and it’s easy access (from) the back of the church,” she pointed out.

The LAA, which has more than 60 members, holds three shows yearly. The Lititz Outdoor Fine Art Show is held in Lititz Springs Park in July, and the Lititz Parkwalk is held in the same location at the end of September.

Kaylor Brunner, who taught art in Lititz for more than 20 years, paints brightly colored flowers and landscapes. She began painting as a small child. Her father was an amateur, self-taught artist who provided his daughter an end of his workbench for her paintings. Later, when he came to live with her and her family, she shared her studio with him.

More information about LAA may be found at www.lititzartassociation.com or by searching for “Lititz Outdoor Fine Art Show” on Facebook.

For its celebration of National Ampersand Day, PCA&D invited all students in

the college community to design their own ampersands for competition, create their own ampersand T-shirts, take part in ampersand-themed contests and games, and line up in the shape of a giant PCA&D ampersand for a drone photo. The photo was taken in the Art Garden during a picnic, where the menu featured items with “and” in their names, such as macaroni and cheese, chicken and waffles, peanut butter and jelly, and A&W root beer.

Cohen To Speak At Church

Chosen People Ministries was founded in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1894 by Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian rabbi who came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah of Israel. It has grown into a worldwide ministry with outreach centers in Argentina, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Israel, Mexico, Ukraine, and the United States. Its mission is to bring the Gospel message of salvation in Jesus to Jewish people and to others around the world, emphasizing the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. Its goal is to make the message of the Messiah more accessible to Jewish people and to help Christians achieve a greater appreciation of the Jewish basis

of their own faith traditions.

Blood Donor Eligibility Criteria Updated

25% OFF

The American Red Cross invites those who spent time in the U.K., Ireland, or France and have never tried to give blood due to concerns over variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), related to mad cow disease, to give blood. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration updated its blood donor eligibility guidance on vCJD, eliminating the deferral for those who spent time in the U.K., Ireland, and France between 1980 and 2001.

In alignment with FDA changes, the Red Cross began accepting donations from individuals who have not tried giving blood before due

to the prior donation criteria. In combination with prior eligibility updates in 2020 for those who spent time in other European countries, this new change effectively eliminates the deferral related to vCJD for all donors.

More people, especially those with type O blood, are urged to donate. Book a time to give by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting www.redcrossblood.org, or by calling 800-733-2767. As a thank you, donors who give through Monday, Oct. 31, will be emailed an electronic gift card to a merchant of their choice.

Food Drive Will Aid Water Street Mission

Faulkner Chevrolet, 2000 Bennett Ave., Lancaster, will hold a food drive to support W ater Street Mission, and donations may be placed in the truck parked inside the showroom through Thursday, Nov. 3. Perishable food items will be accepted from Tuesday, Nov. 1, through Nov. 3 only. Dealership employees will deliver the items to the mission on Friday, Nov. 4.

W ater Steet Mission provides over 400 meals per day to Lancaster County residents. The meal or bag of groceries provided might be a stepping stone to help build rapport with the staff and volunteers and help clients on their healing journey. Water

Street Mission is involved in many initiatives, such as an emergency shelter, residential programs, a women’s shelter, a community health clinic, teen mentoring, and prekindergarten and kindergarten education.

To view the wish list, visit www.faulknerchevrolet lancaster.com/food-drive.

Anyone who donates will receive a discount on a vehicle purchase from Faulkner Chevrolet.
