Zoning Ordinance Rewrite to Shape Township’s Future BY JEFF FALK
Visitors peruse artists’ offerings at last year’s Holiday Gift Show.
LAA Injecting Art Into Holidays
A
rt is as unique as the individuals on our holiday shopping lists. That’s what makes art the perfect gift for those who are so hard to buy for.
“It’s about personal connections,” said Catherine Zdancewic, the organizer of an upcoming event for the Lititz Art Association (LAA). “When someone picks up a piece, holds it and immediately thinks of their best friend and that
‘my best friend has to have this’ that’s what it’s all about. They get so excited. It’s the excitement of knowing a person and knowing what’s going to make them smile.” Those types of awe-inspiring pieces of art will be available at See LAA pg 2

Over the last 55 years, the game of football has changed a lot. But not as much as it has changed those who played it. C harlie Humphre ys played football at Manheim Township High School in the late 1960s and early ’70s. “We had very demanding coaches who it seemed we could never please,” said Humphreys. “At the See 1971 pg 4 The 1971 Manheim Township championship football team

Public officials have both broad and specific goals for the future of Manheim Township. Those goals will be achieved par tly through the locale ’s z oning ordinance and w ill reflect the goals of the citizens of Manheim Township. “The zoning ordinance is the codes that regulate land use and development in the township,” said Porter Stevens, the community development director for Manheim Township. “It lays out a zoning map, and it’s kind of the one-stop shop for growth and development in Manheim Township. They play a fundamental role, and they can shape a lot about our community.” “It determines how big buildings can be,” continued Stevens. “It also ensures there’s parks and open space. It really can have a significant effect on the quality of life for residents in the township. It kind of does fly under the radar, but it touches almost every aspect of life in the township.” Manheim Township is seeking input from residents for its ongoing zoning ordinance rewrite project. The township will be accepting public opinion on the zoning ordinance rewrite until March of 2027, before the final product is passed on to the board of commissioners for a vote next fall. The rewrite will be consistent with Manheim Township’s comprehensive plan.

“It’s starting to feel like the excitement of the holidays is coming,” added Zdancewic. “ T here are pieces and gifts you are excited to give to your loved ones.” A few thousand visitors are expected to attend the Holiday Gift Show, a combination of locals and out-of-towners. “Some are out on a stroll looking for something that strikes their fancy,” said Zdancewic. “Some people will attend because Lititz is a destination. They want to walk around and see what Lititz has to offer. We have new members, and some of those members will be at the show. Visitors will see new faces and new work this year.” With her fine art pieces, earrings and necklaces by her side, Zdancewic will be there both in body and in spirit.
“I love talking to people,” said Zdancewic. “I love meeting new people and sharing the work I created. I love seeing old customers and showing them the new work I created.” The Holiday Gift Show, which is in its 10th year of operation, perfectly portrays LAA’s overall mission. LAA is headquartered at 51 N. Broad St., Lititz. “It’s about bringing art to the community and bringing the community to art,” said Zdancewic, “and sharing with the community what artists have to offer. As the years have gone on, we’ve just gotten more comfortable with the show. We know what to expect, who to expect, and we look forward to seeing the same customers year after year.” For additional information, go to www.lititzart association.com.

before bed, in your living room, in your yard, anywhere. Tai chi is practiced regularly in a group. The intention of group practice is to raise communal consciousness and connection. You can practice standing and walking, seated in a chair or even in bed.” Tai chi’s benefits are broad and far-reaching. Constant and consistent tai chi practice can improve balance and prevent falls, help to manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, improve cognitive functions, lower stress levels, assist in managing depression, help manage chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD) and improve overall well-being. “All humans deserve the opportunity to explore movement in a way that makes them feel good,” said Bones, a resident of Lititz. “Tai chi isn’t a performance so much as it is a personal
experience. Yes, there are movements and shapes, and those shap es and movements will express differently for each person who practices. A consistent practice should be every day, even if it’s 60 seconds daily.” Bones has been a certified tai chi instructor for four years, after receiving training as a practice leader from Dr. Kalind Bakshi of The Breath Lab in Philadelphia. Her tai chi journey began in 2018 when she started practicing Integral Tai Chi with Kathy Brubaker at The Yoga Place in Ephrata. “I had been taking public classes and had experienced benefits beyond measure,” said Bones. “I wanted to share that opportunity with as many people as I can. I fell in love with the slow, flowing movements and the opportunity to get lost in the moment.” Tai chi originated from
an ancient Chinese practice called Qigong nearly 500 years ago. Tai chi was initially introduced and taught in the United States in the late 1930s. “ Tai chi can be interpreted by all individuals to suit their ability and mobility levels,” said Bones. “Tai chi can be practiced walking, standing, sitting or lying down. Tai chi can be as simple as one movement or 100. Besides myself at the library, there are plenty of tai chi teachers in Lititz and L ancaster who are offering classes like at the Lititz recCenter and the Lititz Senior Center.” For additional information, go to www.blackcat yogalititz.com.

Tai chi is a martial art, a series of inter-related movements, a discipline and a state of mind. Tai chi is also an undervalued and underappreciated form of exercise. “Tai chi is often described as a moving meditation, c o n n e c t i n g t h e b o d y, breath and mind,” said Jenny Bones, a certified tai chi instructor and a tai chi easy practice leader. “When practicing tai chi, we are cultivating energy and connecting to our spirit. Tai chi is an excellent practice for improving lung health, lowering stress and cortisol levels, improving balance and increasing your overall well-being. “Tai chi meets the practitioner where they’re at,” continued Bones. “Yoga is a practice of Asanas (poses) that are to be interpreted and then explored by the practitioner. Tai chi is a meditation through continuous movement.” Bones is also the owner of Black Cat Yoga, which does not offer a brick-andmortar location. She leads groups of tai chi practitioners at places like the Lititz Public Library, as well as instructs personal tai chi sessions. “My 11-year-old calls it ‘slow karate,’” said Bones. “You can absolutely practice tai chi when you wake,

time, we didn’t know how good our defense was, but our records have stood for 55 years. The championship created lifelong bonds among teammates who found out what it was like to sacrifice and the joy of sacrificial accomplishment.” Humphreys was a fullback and sometimes played quar terback on the Manheim Township football team that captured the final Lancaster County League championship, in 1971. A year later, the league expanded and became the L ancasterLebanon League. During Manheim Township High School’s homecoming in late October, t h a t m e m o ra b l e 1 9 7 1 squad reunited for a special celebration and recognition. During halftime of this year ’s Manheim Township homecoming game against Reading, 32 members of the team and
head coach Bob Jackson were honored during a brief halftime ceremony at midfield. Earlier that day, the 1971 Blue Streak players and cheerleaders enjoyed a commemorative luncheon with Coach Jackson, now 95, at his residence at Garden Spot Village in New Holland. Team members also spent some time together reminiscing at the home of one of the former players. “It was homecoming, and coach is 95 years old,” said Humphreys. “It may have been the last chance for us all to get together. There were lots of tall tales and fond memories, happiness and sadness at the same time. “The bond is like a glue t h a t s t i c k s to g e t h e r,” added Humphreys. “ We a l w ay s h av e t h a t o n e great commonality of the championship.” On Nov. 13, 1971, the
underdog Blue Streaks defeated powerful Columbia 35-0 in the Lancaster County League championship game. The Manheim Township defense dominated the Crimson Tide that day, just like it had done all season. The Manheim Township d e fe n s e , w h i c h s p e a rheaded the Blue Streaks to a 9-0-1 overall mark, shut out six opponents that season and surrendered a measly 40 points all year. Manheim Township’s fo o t b a l l p ro g ra m w a s established in 1945. “ O n e v e r y re g re t f u l tie with War wick still stings to this day,” said Humphreys, a 72-year-old resident of Charlotte, N.C. “The highlight had to be the championship game against Columbia. Columbia was favored to win and take home the trophy. A s t a n d i n g - ro o m - o n l y crowd of 7,000 gathered at Columbia. We dominated
with a 35-0 win and took home the trophy.” The life lessons learned by those B lue S treak s playing under Jackson still serve them well to this day. “‘Stony ’ was small of stature, but huge of presence,” said Humphreys of Jackson. “His voice could be heard above all others clearly. His favorite drill was grass drills. We did grass drills till total exhaustion. He was no-nonsense, a my-way disciplinarian. I learned not to accept poor performance, and that repeated proper execution is the key to winning.” “Coach was hard on us, but we learned how to be winners,” concluded Humphreys. “A trait that has served us well through life. T he older we get , the more we appreciate the hard days we went through together. A few of us keep up with each other on Facebook.”

Zoning from pg 1
Residents can make their voices heard by attending a meeting of the zoning ordinance rewrite committee, which are conducted at 5 p.m. on every Tuesday at the Manheim Township Municipal Office, 1840 Municipal Drive, Lancaster. Citizens can also provide feedback on the project by visiting www.manheim township.org, by calling Stevens at 717-569-6408, ext. 1122, or by emailing him at PStevens@manheim township.org. “There’s still lots of time to share input,” said Stevens. “We definitely want to hear from residents about this because it impacts ever y thing. T his is an opportunity to think where we want new development to happen in the township. This is the marquee chance for us to sit down and have a conversation about what we want to see in our community. We’re definitely doing what we can to get the word out about it.” Manheim Township is
governed by a total of 19 zoning districts - a dozen base zoning districts like residential, commercial and agricultural, and seven overlay districts. Those zoning districts affect things like building permits, land preservation, traffic, affordable housing, parking and the character of neighborhoods. By area, nearly 60% of Manheim Township is zoned low-density residential. “I think, for the most part, people understand the basics of the zoning ordinance,” said Stevens. “But because it’s not something they regularly encounter, they might not know how impactful it can be. My recommendation would be to know the zoning districts in the area you live in and get familiar with the zoning in your neighborhood.” Some aspects of Manheim Township’s current zoning ordinance haven’t been updated in 12 years; other parts of it haven’t been modernized since the 1980s.
Foundation Sets Fundraising Event The Hazel I. Jackson Foundation, in partnership with LancasterHistory, will hold the inaugural Black Expressions Fundraising Reception on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Commons on Vine in the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square, 19 E. Vine St., Lancaster. The event will mark professor emeritus Hazel I. Jackson’s 100th birthday year. From 5 to 6 p.m., guests will have the opportunity to explore the Thaddeus Stevens & Lydia Hamilton Smith Center for History and Democracy, a new museum in Lancaster. The program will begin at 6 p.m. Hosted by Quinn Conyers, it will include a welcome from Lancaster City Council president Ahmed Ahmed; “Sharing Our History” with Tom Ryan and Sandy Brown; a message from Hazel I. Jackson Middle School principal Jazmin Torres; a musical selection performed by Hazel I. Jackson Middle School students; and “Midst of Faith,” an original monologue performed by Starleisha Gingrich. The guest
speaker will be Doug Dennison, a former National Football League player who attended Edward Hand Middle School while Jackson was teaching there. Additionally, throughout the event, artist Keisha Finnie will create a painting to be auctioned off. The inaugural edition of Black Expressions marks the final push toward the foundation’s $50,000 Centennial Campaign goal. Funds support educational programs for students at Hazel I. Jackson Middle School, including the HIJ Reading Club, the Quarterly Student Recognition Breakfast, and Jackson Day of Action. The event carries forward the cultural programming Jackson herself produced decades ago at Millersville University, at McCaskey High School, and in her church, celebrating Black history and culture through performance.

Concerns are voiced at a recent meeting of the Manheim Township zoning ordinance rewrite committee.
“ T he general r ule of thumb for updates is about ten years, just like the comprehensive plan,” said Stevens. “A decade is a time frame when a lot can change. The biggest difference now is that there isn’t a lot of developable land left in the township. As of 2024, we had about 1,500 acres of developable land left in Manheim Township, and now, it’s probably way less than that. But there’s still a need for rentable housing, especially affordable housing.” Manheim Township is 22.6 square miles in area and home to more than 44,000 residents. “We’re seeing population growth in Manheim Town-
ship and Lancaster County level off a little bit,” said Stevens. “I think we need to keep that in mind. There are already people living in Lancaster County who need housing. Manheim Township and Lancaster County are both really great places to live. People who grew up here want to raise their families here, and we want to provide them with the space to do that. “This is a generational opportunity to change land use in Manheim Township,” concluded Stevens. “We also want to preserve the things that make Manheim Township the great place it is. We’re excited to see what the result of this is.”
