Quarterback Clubbers Use Their Powers to Help Others There is a society of covert actors operating in our community. They call themselves “The Lancaster-Lebanon League Quarterback Club.” They meet regularly under the pretenses of victories, competitiveness and an exchange of game film. But the real nature of their mission is to promote a game they love, foster lasting friendships and aid student-athletes. “It’s an opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself,” said Kris Miller, the ringleader and president of the club. “I played in the Lancaster-Lebanon League, I was an assistant coach and now I’m a head coach. The group of guys and camaraderie we have is really cool, and it’s special to be a part of that.” Miller is the head football coach at Ephrata Senior High School and one of more than 40 coaches - one representative from each of the Lancaster-Lebanon League’s 37 member schools actively involved with the club, a tradition-rich organization dedicated to growing the game of football and helping its players become better young men on and off the gridiron. During the regular scholastic fall season, the quarterback club meets at 7 p.m. on every Tuesday at the centrally located Ephrata American Legion Post 429, 300 Cocalico St., Ephrata. T he 90-minute mee tings consist of supper, coaches’ nominations for players of the week and players of the year, voting, discussion and the planning of upcoming events.

Quarterback from pg 1 are announced in early December following the club’s year-end banquet at The Timbers Restaurant in Mount Gretna. “Football participation numbers overall are going down, for whatever reasons,” said Miller. “Football is a hard sport that requires a lot of time. You get 10 guaranteed opportunities (games) to play, and you’ve got to work 52 weeks a year to play. Recognizing players is important because you want to recognize the work they put in. It also gets their name out there. Anytime players see their names in the paper, they feel like the work has been worth it.” The quarterback club has been operating in its current capacity as an organization for 75 years. Not every football league across the state is supported by a group like the Lancaster-Lebanon League Quarterback Club.

Coaches discuss a topic at a recent Lancaster-Lebanon League Quarterback Club meeting.
“It originally started as a place where coaches could come together and do film exchange,” said Miller. “But our purpose has always been to promote players and grow our sport. Because technology has changed, we’ve had to adjust how we do it. As fierce as competitors as we are on Friday
nights as coaches, the other six days of the week we’re here to grow the game and give kids an opportunity to play the sport. We care about our sport, and we care about kids.”

themes, like all-timers’ night , officials ’ night , athletic directors’ night, college night and media night. “We all want to support each other,” said Miller. “ We played Cocalico in week two. It was a great game, and then on the following Tuesday I got an opportunity to sit down with Coach (Bryan) Strohl and have a conversation. We get to bounce ideas off each other, and everyone has always been willing to give feedback. It’s a great resource to have. There are a lot more similarities between coaches than there are differences.” The quarterback club also recognizes individual accomplishments through its awards for players of the week, players of the year and its all-academic team, and those honors are released to local media outlets in a timely fashion.

“Coffee With a Colonial” and One-Act Play Set Historic Rock Ford, 881 Rockford Road, Lancaster, will hold two programs at the circa 1794 General Edward Hand Mansion. Tickets may be purchased at www.historicrockford .org/special-events. Living historian Sam Leamer will present Coffee With a Colonial on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 2, 3, and 4 p.m. The program will be held in the kitchen. It will offer the opportunity for conversation over and about coffee, either of the 18th- or the 21st-century variety. Leamer was born and
raised in Berks County. He holds a history degree from Cairn University and is a lifelong living historian and re-enactor with a decade of experience working with 21st-century coffee. Leamer wishes to provide a deeper understanding of the Colonial coffee culture in North America and how it fueled a nation’s beginnings. In addition, the oneact play “Persuasion” will return to Historic Rock Ford on Fridays, Nov. 6 and 13, and Saturdays, Nov. 7, 14, and 21, at 7 and 8:30 p.m., as well as on Sunday,
Nov. 22, at 2 and 3:30 p.m. The original play, adapted by Sam Slaymaker from the novel “Persuasion” by Jane Austen, and directed by Rachel Faust, is intended to provide audiences with the flavor of Austen’s work and wit within the setting of a true Georgian mansion. “Persuasion” relates the story of Anne Elliot, an aristocratic young lady who declines marrying Capt. Frederick Wentworth at a youthful age even though she deeply loves him. After a period of seven years, See Rock Ford pg 8

Lancaster Hub from pg 1 located at 812 N. Queen St., Lancaster. “At its heart, the Lancaster Hub is about dignity, hope, stability and connection,” said Conahan. “Lancaster County Food Hub served us well during an important chapter of our history, but our work has grown beyond food. Lancaster Hub gives us room to reflect the full scope of what happens here. It also speaks to our role as a hub of connection - connecting neighbors to resources and connecting neighbors to tangible ways to give back and support their community. Same mission. Same heart. New name. A name that better reflects where we’re going.” In 2025, more than 78,000 Lancaster County residents utilized the Lancaster Hub’s services, which include food, clothing and homeless support, as well as genuine care and understanding. “ They are our neighbors,” said Conahan, a resident of Manheim Township. “They are families, seniors, parents, students, working families and individuals from all walks of life. Some are experiencing
a temporar y hardship, while others may be dealing with challenges that have lasted much longer. Many are working and still struggling to make ends meet.” The L ancaster Hub is staffed by 16 caring employees, and its work is enhanced by the contributions of more than 150 volunteers. The Lancaster Hub is also supported by food and new and gently used clothing donations, as well as financial assistance from foundations, businesses, donors, congregations, grants and community organizations. “Our staff and volunteers bring something different, but everyone is united by the same goal,” said Conahan. “Financial contributions help support the people, programs, facilities and infrastructure needed to make those ser vices possible. One of the most remarkable things about the Lancaster Hub is how many people in our community see a need and ask, ‘How can I help?’” Founded as the Lancaster County Council of Churches, the organization has been serving the
Lancaster County community for nearly 80 years. In 2014, its trajectory was put on its current path partly through the renovation of its massive facility on Queen Street. “Hands down, the best par t is absolutely the people,” said Conahan. “I love seeing the way neighbors, volunteers, donors, staff, churches, businesses and community partners all come together here. There are so many everyday moments that remind you why this work matters - a neighbor finding a dress for homecoming; a family leaving with food for the week, including a birthday cake to celebrate their family member’s birthday; a volunteer showing up because they simply want to help; our unhoused neighbors leaning in and supporting the organization that helped them and giving back. I also love that the Hub is a place where people can both give and receive. Everyone has something valuable to contribute. To me, that’s what makes this place special; it truly is a community hub.” For additional information, go to www.lancaster hub.org.

Every Small Rescue Is a Second Chance BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
On a sunny afternoon in April 2010, Betsy Shank was mowing the grass in front of her home in Millersville. After seeing what initially appeared to be a dead baby squirrel, Shank cut the engine and rushed to take a closer look. The little kit was still alive, so Shank raced to her computer and searched for advice on how to best help the animal. Sixteen years later, Shank has dedicated her life to rescuing local wildlife as the founder and executive director of Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation. Located at 2100 Stone Mill Road in Lancaster, Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation is a nonprofit organization that rehabilitates native prey species and Virginia opossums, in addition to educating the community on the animals it serves. At the facility, Shank and a team of volunteers provide medical stabilization, nutrition and housing for injured animals such as squirrels, rabbits and groundhogs to help them recover and return to the wild with minimal human imprinting. After severe storms and a tornado tore through Lancaster County in August, local residents began sifting through debris to find the extent of the damage and clean up their yards. Many people discovered they weren’t the only ones affected by the destructive weather; hundreds of animals were left injured or displaced in the storm’s wake, including mothers that left behind nests of their young. Within a few

days, the lobby of Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation was packed with leaf-covered locals who halted their storm cleanup to br ing baby rabbits, s q u i r re l s a n d m i ce i n need of care. Although the rehabilitation facility had just closed its intake office, Shank contacted Red Creek Wildlife Center in Schuylkill Haven as soon as she heard a major storm was about to hit the county. “I said ‘Hey, I’m closed, but trees and houses are going to come down. People aren’t going to drive over an hour to bring these animals to you,’” Shank said. “They said if I took the animals in and got them stabilized, I could transfer them to Red Creek. So we just opened the doors.” Within two days, Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation took in more than 100 animals affected by
the storm. Assisted by a team of volunteers, Shank and her husband, David Aichele, stabilized as many of the animals as they could before transferring them to Red Creek Wildlife Center. Any of the rescues still in need of medical attention remained at Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation to recover. “People were in the middle of cleaning up what happened to their homes, but they were compassionate enough to prioritize helping these baby animals. It was just amazing,” said Aichele, Shank’s righthand man and steadfast supporter who’s helped with everything from construction projects to emergency rescues since she founded Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation in 2021.

Program to Focus on Orchids The Women’s Garden Club of Lancaster County will hold a program on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 1 to 3 p.m. at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 301 St. Thomas Road, Lancaster. The speaker will be author and orchid expert Arthur E. Chadwick. Art and his father, A. A. Chadwick - who began growing orchids in 1943 - founded C hadwick & Son Orchids Inc. in 1989.
Rehabilitation moved to its current location in November 2024, an expansion that greatly increased the organization’s capacity for rescued animals and the specialized equipment necessary to care for them. Although a major fundraising campaign made the expansion possible, Shank continues to rely on community support to cover the rehabilitation center’s expenses, as well as help from volunteer staff members. In September, Acorn Acres Rehabilitation Center launched Second Chance Circle, a community of monthly donors who can contribute any amount to support the organization. “It’s a whole lot of people giving a little bit that are going to make a whole lot of second chances possible,” said Shank. “Every donation helps us give another animal a second chance.” In addition to joining Second Chance Circle, community members who wish to support Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation may become volunteers to assist with various aspects of the operation. “People can help with animal care or other things that are crazy important for us but don’t require contact with the animals,” said Shank. To learn more about Second Chance Circle or volunteer opportunities at Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation, visit https:// acornacreswr.com or stop by the facility ’s annual open house on Fr iday, Nov. 20, at 5 p.m.

Get Connected from pg 1 Connected speed networking quarterly, typically during morning hours, and the events last about two hours. Get Connected is open to both Chamber of Commerce members and nonmembers. “People and businesses are stronger when they work together,” said Williams. “No one person or organization has all the answers, resources or connections they need to succeed. When we bring people together at the Lancaster Chamber, we create opportunities to share ideas, build relationships, solve problems and discover new possibilities. That’s really the heart of Get Connected, creating meaningful connections that can strengthen both individual businesses and our broader Lancaster County business community.” Employing an algorithm-based format, Get Connected sessions consist of five 15-minute rounds, with a handful of partic-
ipants stationed at each table. Connectors move from table to table during each round, and individuals usually meet 80 to 90% of the business representatives present. “ We g ive an o ut line of what we recommend attendees come prepared with, but the rest is up to them,” said Williams. “Some people come with a specific topic in mind they want to communicate; others are purely looking to make new connections. Attendees also have the opportunity to exchange business cards and contact information. The number of new connections depends on the number of people present.” Between 60 and 100 individuals attend each L ancaster C hamber of Commerce’s Get Connected event. “Get Connected is designed to be much more than a one-time networking event,” said Williams. “While participants make multiple new connections
dur ing the speed networking sessions, those introductions often serve as the beginning of lasting professional relationships. We’ve heard of attendees finding new clients, referral partners, mentors, collaborators, vendors and even future employees through connections they first made at Get Connected.” The Lancaster Chamber has been hosting Get Connected sessions since 2010. The speed networking was initially initiated by a former chamber staff member who learned about the idea at a conference. “ W hen it comes to making connections in the business community, Lancaster Chamber works hard for everyone,” said Williams. “Meeting new people can be challenging, but with events like Get Connected and programs like Women in Business or Young Professionals Network, we do our best to provide safe and welcoming spaces for individuals to
feel comfortable and confident to get involved with the business community.” Established in 1872, the Chamber of Commerce currently represents 1,388 member businesses. “The Lancaster Chamber’s mission is to create the environment, facilitate partnerships and lead on issues that elevate business success,” said Williams. “Our role is to put that mission into action across Lancaster County by bringing businesses together and connecting them with the relationships, knowledge, resources and opportunities that help them succeed. Our work includes professional development, advocacy, networking and programs that respond to the needs of our business community. At its core, the C hamber works to strengthen businesses and help create a thriving Lancaster County.” For additional information, go to www.lancaster chamber.com.
Orchids from pg 5 Art and his father operate 13 greenhouses in rural Powhatan County, Va., as well as two retail stores in Richmond, and they board more than 13,000 orchids for local clients. The com-

Promise Players to Present Comedy
The Promise Players will present “See You in Bells” by Edie Claire from Thursday to Sunday, Nov. 5 to 8, and Thursday to Sunday, Nov. 12 to 15, at Lampeter Church of the Brethren, 1900 Lampeter Road, Lancaster. Performances will take place on Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. “See You in Bells” is a comedy centered on a wedding that faces numerous obstacles, including three generations of weddings with inexplicable disasters, a church building that is falling down, half the wedding party missing, and the bride’s sisters still fighting over what happened at the last wedding. But the bride’s brother is determined to end the sisters’ feud and the family curse. Seating is general admission on a first-come, first-served basis, but reservations are encouraged, as shows typically sell out. To reserve seats, visit www .promiseplayers.org. For assistance, call the church office on Mondays to Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at 717-464-2050. There is a suggested donation, with a discount for children ages 5 to 12; the fee is payable at the door. Children under age 5 will be admitted for free. A family cap may be applied to families with children age 18 and under. Proceeds from the show will benefit a local nonprofit.
