Hybrid Homeschooling Out Of A Mother’s Love Grows Firm Foundations Academy BY ANN MEAD ASH
“A Season for Wishes,” an annual dance revue that raises funds for Make-A-Wish, will be pre-recorded this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.
“A Season For Wishes” Moves To The Big Screen Annual Fundraiser To Be Held At Penn Cinema BY ANN MEAD ASH
isa Kalinowski, founder of CoJoMotion Dance Company of the Lititz Academy of Dance and the organizer of “A Season for Wishes,” did not believe it would be possible to hold the fundraiser during the COVID-19 pandemic this year. “A Season for Wishes” is a dance revue that has raised more than $360,000 over 15 years for Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware, and Susquehanna Valley to help grant the wishes of seriously ill children. “We knew we couldn’t do a regular live show, and people were expecting we just wouldn’t do anything this year,” reported Lisa. Lisa’s husband, Tony, kept saying, “We have to find a way to do this.” Tony reached out to Penn Cinema, 541 Airport Road, Lititz, about
kicklines were not possible, but Lisa noted that on one number she spaced the dancers apart with their hands on their hips so they could still do the kicks. Familiar dance numbers that will be featured this year include “Santa Baby”; “Do You Hear W hat I Hear?”; “The Little Drummer Boy”; “Hot Chocolate”; “Where Are You, Christmas?”; “We Need a Little Christmas”; “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”; “Arabian” from “The Nutcracker”; “Hip Hop Holidays”; and “Jingle Bell Rock.” In addition, the film will feature a video from Make-A-Wish about a Wish Child in Philadelphia who received his wish, and there will be clips of local Wish Family members who spoke at past presentations. Lisa has also promised a number of surprises throughout the event. “The emphasis is on fol-

lowing guidelines and being safe,” said Lisa. “It may look a little different this year, but the love behind it is the same. It’s going to be amazing.” Past shows have raised more than $30,000, but this year, Lisa will be happy if the event raises enough to grant one child’s wish. “I told the (dance students) they should feel so good about any amount that comes in,” said Lisa. To help reach that goal, an online fundraising page can be found by searching Facebook for “CoJoMotion Dance Company” or “Lititz Academy of Dance.” Readers who wish to attend this year’s “A Season for Wishes” may visit www.penncinema.com and click on “Special Events” at the bottom of the page or purchase tickets at www.fandango.com or at the theater.

partnering to show the program. Representatives of the cinema said they were interested and were prepared to follow all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for social distancing. “They have all those measures in place,” said Lisa. Lisa quickly mustered 27 dancers to record the show in a large studio at Aurora Films at Rock Lititz. As a result, the 16th annual “A Season for Wishes” presentation will be a pre-recorded film shown at Penn Cinema on Saturday, Dec. 12, at 9:45 a.m. While social distancing guidelines made it impossible to rehearse or perform certain dance numbers, Lisa adjusted choreography for some dances. Styles for the 15 numbers will range from tap, jazz, and ballet to modern and hiphop. Many of the Rockette-style
Several years ago, when Sarah Northrup was homeschooling her children, she discovered her daughter had dyslexia. “(It was) impossible to find help and support,” recalled Northrup. “I felt I was very isolated.” Northrup, who already had a degree in elementary and special education, responded by turning to the National Institute of Learning Development at Virginia University in Virginia Beach, Va., where she received her certification as an education therapist. She began tutoring other homeschooled students who had dyslexia and other learning issues. “I found that many of the students I was serving (had) parents who were feeling a lot like I was feeling,” said Northrup. “I thought, ‘I can help three kids at a time … or I can start this program to serve a broader population.’ It had been on my heart for a very long time.”

New Year’s Day Ride Will Benefit Veterans BY CATHY MOLITORIS
On New Year’s Day, the streets of Lancaster County will be filled with motorcyclists, all riding to benefit veterans. The 12th annual charity ride will kick off at 1 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 1, 2021, at the Walter S. Ebersole American Legion Post 185, 255 W. Main St., Mount Joy. Registration for the event will open at 10 a.m. Proceeds from the event benefit veterans who use services at the Lebanon VA Medical Center. “Last year, we raised $33,000,” said Tyler Stumpf, ride organizer. “Over the years, we have raised
$193,000.” Money is raised through the entry fee for the ride as well as sales of T-shirts and patches. Typically, the event would also include a meal after the ride and a silent auction, but that has changed this year due to COVID-19 restrictions. Instead, organizers are looking for donations of items for veterans or financial contributions. “The event will be held completely outside this year,” Stumpf noted. “We’ll have a trailer in the parking lot to collect things for veterans like toiletries, stamps and pre-paid phone cards.” The 25-mile ride follows a route along the Susquehanna River and concludes at the Elizabethtown American Legion Post 329, 240 N. Hanover St. See Ride pg 4

MT Sports Teams Find Success In A Season Of Uncertainty
The general consensus regarding the year 2020 is that in a variety of everyday activities, things have been drastically different because of COVID-19. The Manheim Township boys’ soccer team had a firsthand taste of that in its run for the District Three Class 4A championship. The Blue Streaks were unable to compete against Cumberland Valley in the championship match scheduled for Nov. 11 due to COVID-19 issues. The Streaks earned a trip to the title game thanks to a 14-2 record, which included a 3-0 victory in the semifinal match at home on Nov. 7. Township topped Dallastown on two first-half goals (Shawn Larroza and Andrew Sheehan) and one more in the 69th minute from Tyson Johns. Moses Beers registered an assist while on the Township end of the pitch goalie Quinn McCarty held on for a shutout. On the regular season, the Streaks claimed the Section One title, losing only one regular-season league match - a 2-0 setback to section foe Hempfield in early October, returning the favor two weeks later at home. The Blue Streaks, who outscored opponents 42-8 in the regular season, went on to claim the league trophy with a 5-1 triumph over Lancaster Catholic in the league semis on Oct. 28 followed by a 3-1 victory on Halloween, defeating the
McCaskey Red Tornado in the title game at Warwick. Conestoga Valley, a familiar foe from the L-L League, was the Streaks’ first district playoff hurdle - a 3-0 victory at Township - on their way to the semifinal versus Dallastown. GIRLS’ SOCCER Township’s girls’ soccer team also made it to the District Three 4A playoffs, bowing out in the semifinals with a loss to Central Dauphin on Nov. 7. The Blue Streaks entered the districts as the second seed. While top seed Wilson was upset by fifthseeded Cumberland Valley in the first round, the streaks edged seventh-seed Dallastown 1-0 at home on Nov. 4. Three days later the home field advantage was not an issue as the Rams, who scored three times in the first half of the 3-0 victory. They ended the Streaks’ season at 13-2. The girls’ 2020 campaign also included a league championship. In the league playoffs, Township outscored its opponents 11-1, including a 6-0 defeat of Northern Lebanon at L-S on Oct. 26 - a game in which Liza Suydam had a hat trick - and a 5-1 blowout of Elco in the title game at Warwick on Oct. 28. FOOTBALL The Blue Streaks’ five-game winning streak to close out the regular season was unfortunately just that - a winning streak to close out the season. The Blue Streaks finished

their abbreviated season (due to COVID-19 modified scheduling) 5-2 with a 4-1 league record, finishing one game behind Wilson in Section One. “We had two tough games right out of the gate,” head coach Mark Evans remarked, referring to the season-opening 35-27 loss to State College and a very close 31-28 loss to Wilson. “We just ran out of time in those two games,” Evans added. “We just ran out of time for the season.” When the winning streak started, Township posted victories such as 49-14 at Cedar Crest, 49-7 at archrival Hempfield, and 56-14 at home against McCaskey before closing it out on a 41-7 defeat of Cocalico. The offense that put up such numbers was led by senior quarterback Evan Clark. “He had a great season,” Evans said of his quarterback. “He had to wait his turn and he did a great job with it.” What he managed was to finish as the highest-ranked passer in the league, completing 98 of 141 atempts for 1,505 yards and throwing 18 touchdowns with no interceptions. The offense was multidimensional, featuring the running attack of Cade Clancy, who not only ran for 531 yards and nine rushing TDs, but caught 19 passes for 233 yards and four touchdowns. Eddie McDevitt caught 18 passes for 210 yards while Anthony Ivey led all receivers with 506 yards on 23 receptions - five for touchdowns. “Eddie McDevitt and Cade Clancy played tough on both sides of the ball,” Evans said. Of course accurate passing quarterbacks, shifty tailbacks, and fleet-footed receivers earn their yardage largely due to a solid blocking game up front - the unsung heroes on the offensive line. “Jorge Duran, first-year starter, worked hard in the offseason,” Evans said. “Luke Kelley changed positions and played on the O-line and defensive line. He did a really nice job. “Ezequiel Concepcion Mena was doing a great job until an
illegal block on him injured his knee,” continued the coach. Other contributors included Michael Vega, Aaron Paul, Dan Engel, Shamir Alberto, and nose guard Charlie Newman. “The grit and determination of our players helped us get five wins,” Evans said, who lamented missing a shot at the postseason with revised scheduling. “I think we finished sixth according to the usual district power rankings,” he pointed out. “If they took eight, we would’ve made it.” Looking at the strong performances and the mark this year’s leading upperclassmen have left, Evans remarked, “The strength of our program is that we’ve had kids waiting their turn. What are next year’s seniors going to do? “One of our themes for the year was NOW - No Opportunity Wasted.” FIELD HOCKEY In a highly competitive Section One, the Township field hockey team finished fourth with an L-L League record of 64-0 (7-4-1 overall) in 2020. The powerhouse Penn Manor squad went 9-1-0 in league play, outscoring Section One opponents 34-2, with the two goals coming in a 2-1 loss to Warwick. But when it came to matches against MT, the Comets won the two meetings only by an aggregate score of 3-0. As impressive as Manor’s numbers may have been, consider that Township outscored its opponents 25-9, registering six shutouts and suffering a pair of 1-0 defeats in addition to playing Wilson to a scoreless draw in a non-league game. Sophomore goalie Madeline Eckert racked up 68 saves on the year. On offense Brittney Heim and Natalie Phillips led the way with seven points each. Heim scored seven goals while Phillips netted four goals and assisted on three. TENNIS In girls’ tennis, the Streaks featured great team and individual accomplishments in 2020. The Blue Streaks claimed the District Three 3A team championship but came up short in the PIAA with a loss to Greater Latrobe in the semis. See Sports pg 3
Avery Palandjian and Scotty Reynolds claimed the number one and two singles, respectively, in the district semis, with straight set scores of 6-2, 6-0 and 6-0, 6-0. Township went on to defeat LampeterStrasburg 4-0 at Neffsville. Kayla Kurtz won the third singles 6-0, 6-1 while the number one doubles went to Cami Henneman and Julia Briner by 6-2, 6-0 scores. Township (11-0) won the championship match on its home court as well, beating Hershey 4-1. The Henneman/Briner twosome won 61, 6-2. In singles play, Palandjian downed Caroline Corcoran 7-6 (4), 6-1. Reynolds (60, 6-1) and Kurtz (6-2, 6-3) both won in straight sets. The District Three champ Blue Streaks downed District Two winner Abington Heights in the quarterfinals of the PIAA’s by a 5-0 score on Oct. 28, but were unable to get past Greater Latrobe in a 3-2 loss. The quarterfinal match was held at Birchwood Tennis Club in Clarks Summit. Henneman and Briner were straight-set winners in first doubles while Jade Miller and Sophia Yost claimed the number two doubles. Palandjian, Reynolds, and
Shirk finished third followed by Sarah Russo’s 12th-place finish while Marina Papadimitrio and Jenny Weiss took 21st and 22nd, respectively. Avery Ebersole was 26th. Shirk was 14th in the girls’ District Three Class 3A race at Big Spring on Oct. 31. Stevens had a solid 15thplace finish in districts. He qualified for states, where he finished 20th on Nov. 7. GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL Despite its 4-8 record, the Township girls’ volleyball team was typically in the thick of things in a talented Section One class of volleyball programs in 2020. The Blue Streaks opened the year 2-2, losing both matches to eventual league champion and District Three Class 4A runnerup Hempfield. Losses to Penn Manor, Conestoga Valley, and Warwick dropped the team’s mark to 2-5 only to have the Streaks post 3-1 wins over Cedar Crest and Penn Manor. A heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Conestoga Valley on Oct. 21 marked the beginning of a losing streak - three straight. In the CV match, the Streaks led 2-1 only to lose a tough 25-21 fourth set and dropped the fifth set 15-12. Addison Journey, who led the team with 40 kills on the year, poured in 13 in this match

All of the more than a dozen teachers are credentialed and experienced, and Northrup and one other are certified in educational therapy. “We are striving to serve kids that are excelling academically, but also those who are (challenged),” said Northrup, who noted that weekly tutoring is offered. The school follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for COVID-19.

Samaritan Center Introduces New Director BY ANN MEAD ASH
Steve Schedler, who officially became executive director of the Samaritan Counseling Center on Sept. 8, is impressed with the staff he has joined. “One of the amazing things about Samaritan Center is our amazing team,” he said, noting that many of the dedicated staff members have been there for more than a decade and at least one for 25 years. “It’s great to be part of something that people have put a lot of passion and energy into for many years.” Schedler, who served the Naaman Center in Elizabethtown for 10 years, lastly as executive director, applied for the position last spring. “I had a great experience with the search committee, and when I was offered the position, I enthusiastically accepted,” said Schedler. Schedler, who lives in Hershey with his family, is no stranger to Lancaster County. He noted that in his work with the Naaman Center, he often drove to that center’s various locations. A Central Pennsylvania native, he attended Penn State University for his bachelor’s degree in psychology and earned his Master of Social Work at Temple University. Schedler holds certifications in advanced alcohol and drug counseling and a Certificate of Competency in Problem Gambling through the Pennsylvania Certification Board. He is involved with the Elizabethtown Area Communities That Care and GOAL Project. While working at the Naaman Center, Schedler helped lead the effort to join that organization with Pennsylvania Adult and Teen Challenge. Schedler had heard about the reputation of the Samaritan Center and its positive effect on the community before considering joining the

team. “The impact Samaritan has in this region is significant,” he said. “I was aware of the good work they have been doing for many years.” The Samaritan Counseling Center, 1803 Oregon Pike, Lancaster, began in 1987 with a mission to foster hope and healing through professional counseling, consultation, and education. The organization subsidizes fees for individuals, families, and children in need and provides quality programming on mental health issues. “It’s important to understand that Samaritan does more than just counseling,” said Schedler, who noted that the organization provides consulting services, as well as TeenHope, a mental health screening program that assesses depression and suicide risk of students in Lancaster County middle and high schools. When applying, Schedler felt the multifaceted center might be a good fit for him. “Something that attracted me to the organization is that they were having impact in multiple ways,” he said. “We want to continue to look for ways to creatively impact the community positively. We’re excited that we can be involved in these different areas of community life.” More information about the services the Samaritan Center offers may be found at http://scclanc.org.

Local businesses are also encouraged to donate to the event. The ride, which is open to the
public, is not just for motorcyclists. Drivers of other vehicles are invited, Stumpf said, adding, “It’s for anyone who would like to honor veterans.” It was important to organizers that the ride happened this year, despite changes to the event. “We knew we were going to do the ride, no matter what we had to change,” Stumpf explained. “We never once thought about canceling it. It’s too important to us and to the veterans.” For more information on the event, readers may call Stumpf at 717-468-6197.

Food Pantry Is Part Of Church’s Mission When Mission Church moved to 651 Lampeter Road, Lancaster, in the spring of 2018, members and staff set a goal. “We wanted to impact the community,” said Brian Bitler, director of operations and strategic advancement for the church. Opening a food pantry was a topic of discussion. “When the pandemic hit, we had two things,” recalled Bitler. “We had the facility … (and we had) people who rose up for that (challenge).” Armed with opportunity, space, and willing workers, Mission Church opened a food pantry that is available to all area residents. Mission Church operations coordinator Tammi Nolt stated that the Mission Food Pantry is generally open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. “Once a month anyone can come pick up a box of food,” she said, noting that contact information will be requested from recipients but preregistration is not necessary. Each household is given one box of food weighing approximately 50 pounds, but Nolt said that other items are added when they are available. “This summer, we had a lot of produce, meat, and milk,” she said. “It depends on what our stock is.” Jeremiah Miller, director of facility management at the church, said that the box of nonperishable items generally contains cans of vegetables or fruit, canned meat, and a variety of pastas and sauce. He added that sometimes oatmeal or granola bars are included along with coffee, tea, and snacks. “Comfort food is always nice to have,” he said. In its first six months, the food pantry fed 1,000 different families. “We have provided about 2,500 boxes of food since we started,” Nolt said of the drive-through operation. Bitler noted that recipients pull up and are signed in by volunteers before receiving boxes of items. Personal care products and detergents are often available for those who ask. Currently, the church partners with Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and Blessings of Hope to fill the boxes, but some items, including canned
vegetables and dry pastas, have been hard to come by. Some other area churches contribute to the pantry, and donations are accepted during the hours the pantry is open to recipients. Those wishing to donate may visit https://mission-church.com /foodpantry for a list of items the pantry needs. Items that are always priorities include canned vegetables and fruit, canned chicken, beans, rice, and cereal.
Currently, Miller and Nolt are doing some of the work to manage the pantry, but most of the effort is overseen by volunteers. Eventually, the church hopes to provide a shopping experience for food pantry recipients. “It will be easier when people are seeing (food items) and choosing them,” said Bitler. During the summer, the pantry was supplemented by the church’s own garden plot located at the back of the
building. “We grew tomatoes, peppers, squashes, green beans, and sweet potatoes,” said Miller. Bitler added that organizers plan to double the size of the garden in 2021. Mission Church staff members (from left) Brian Bitler, Tammi Nolt, and Jeremiah Miller have helped to organize the church food pantry, which distributes boxes of food to area residents in need.

“Less Snore, More Cuddle” Are you having trouble sleeping in 2020? If so, please... Take This Reader’s Quiz: 1. Do you snore at night, or sleep with someone who does? 2. Do you wake up with pain in your back or neck? 3. Do you share a bed with someone who wants a firmer or softer mattress than you? 4. Do you wish you could wake up more refreshed and full of energy? If you answered “Yes” twice or more, this story is for you.
Introducing “Less Snore, More Cuddle™” Sleep Systems The only sleep systems that provide a Cuddle Zone in the middle, while raising or lowering head or feet sections. This solves common health problems for couples who sleep together. Here are some of the healthy benefits:
The Snoring Solution Did you know that astronauts don’t snore in space? Snoring is made worse by gravity’s effect on the throat, which narrows the airway. For this reason, snoring can be cured by sleeping in zero gravity -- or on an adjustable Cuddle Zone sleep system to elevate you head.
Stop Compromising Your Sleep If you wish you half of the bed was firmer or softer, a Cuddle Zone system can help. With “His & Her” custom-fit technology, you get a firmness that’s just right for each of you, you keep the Cuddle Zone.
Back and Neck Pain, Gone Sleeping without pain requires body support and spinal alignment. Unlike “firm or soft” mattresses, Cuddle Zone systems support the spine and neck with 2 to 4 comfort layers.
More Energy, More Life Cuddle Zone systems help give you deep, restorative sleep. Your muscles repair and grow, and your brain flushes out toxins. You wake up refreshed and energized.
Budget Bed or Sleep System? Why visit a local store when you can shop online? Because we don’t sell budget beds. We offer sleep systems, combining mattress, adjustable base and pillow. Each fitted to your needs. You can even experience any sleep system in our Dream Room. No website does that.
And those “unbiased” mattress review websites? They’re often owned by huge, private equity firms. But we’re not a faceless company. We’re locally owned in Lancaster. When you shop here, you support the community.
Now Explore Your Options At Gardner’s Mattress & More, we’ve curated over 24 Cuddle Zone sleep systems for you to see in person, 7 days a week. Private appointments are available. People enjoy our shopping experience, in part because there’s no sales pressure ever. And we have over 200 verified stories of customer delight for your review.

Author Kim Kluxen Meredith had only met illustrator Lisa Madenspacher once before they began working together on Meredith’s latest book, “Henri’s Home,” which was published in October. “Henri’s Home” was inspired by summer vacations on the Jersey shore with Meredith’s grandchildren who prefer her made-up stories to books. “Henri the hermit crab and his family came into my head,” said Meredith, who told her friend Kathy Young the story while confessing, “But I cannot draw.” Young suggested Madenspacher as illustrator. The author and artist met once before the pandemic arrived, and Madenspacher showed Meredith samples of her work. “We hit it off right away. I knew she would be the right person,” recalled Meredith, who requested watercolors for a story that took place at the beach. For the next several months the pair communicated online as Meredith tweaked the story. “I would send her the text from a page, and she would interpret it so beautifully,” said Meredith. “It was a godsend that we were partnered together.” “Henri’s Home” is the story of a hermit crab who lives with his family under a fishing pier. The tale sets the stage for Henri’s “growing” experience as he and his sister and parents scavenge along the shoreline, duck predator seagulls, and play together. When Henri outgrows his
shell, a new one is found, but as he adjusts to his larger home, a mishap occurs that separates Henri from his pier. His adventure gives him and the reader an opportunity to meet many ocean creatures and learn how they live as Henri endeavors to find his family again. The book, which features more than 40 of Madenspacher’s drawings, was formatted by Ashley Reinhard and printed by Yurchak Printing in Landisville. Originally from upstate New York, Meredith worked as a Spanish teacher and a paralegal before moving to Lancaster with her first husband David Kluxen. When their children were preteens, David died as a result of a single-car accident in the early 1990s. Meredith journaled to work her way through her grief. “At night, I would write and cry and put it away,” she recalled. When she told a friend about the journal, the friend suggested Meredith’s writings might help someone else through grief. “Listen for the Whispers: Coping With Grief and Learning to Live Again” was first published in 2010. The book contains a workbook to help those who might be going through a similar experience. Meredith has conducted workshops and given talks based on the book. Meredith describes her second book, “Ocean Whispers,” published in 2018, as a gift book. It was based on a summer 2017 beach trip where each morning for 42 mornings, she picked up a shell and

wrote a corresponding message to go with it in her blog, calling the series “The Daily Shell.” Meredith brought the writing together with her seashell photos to create a book that was sold in shops in Ocean City and Cape May, N.J., as well as Rehoboth, Del. More information about “Henri’s Home” may be found at https://kimkluxen meredith.com/henris-home. Madenspacher is a Lancaster County artist who has worked as an illustrator and received awards for her works of fine art. She has created classic car posters for the Lancaster Museum of Art and watercolors for Franklin & Marshall College. She has a gallery in Lancaster.

Patti Bergman, facilities and events manager and Simply Christmas coordinator at Lititz United Methodist Church (LUMC), 201 Market St., Lititz, knows that encouragement is especially important during a pandemic. A press release Bergman distributed for the church begins with the words, “Now more than ever, people need a healthy dose of hope and love.” In response, LUMC will host its annual Simply Christmas Celebration as an outdoor drive-through event on Sunday, Dec. 13, from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Simply Christmas is an old-fashioned celebration of the birth of Christ. Since the beginnings of the annual event in 2011, LUMC has endeavored to invite neighbors in the community to join in a celebration of the Savior’s birth that focuses on taking time away from the hustle of the season. “It truly is meant to be an evening of giving to our neighbors in the community, just as Christ’s love is free to all who receive it, “ said Bergman, who noted that the

Together, Seniors BlueBook and Fizika Group recently announced the publication of the Premier Edition of the Fizikaflex Wellness Journal, titled “Feel the Freedom: A Guide to Putting Health Into Your Own Hands.� The publication is a result of a creative partnership between the two organizations and HDC MidAtlantic, which is distributing “Feel the Freedom� to residents in several of its local housing communities. Both Seniors BlueBook, an educational resource for seniors, caregivers, adult children and senior professionals in central Pennsylvania, and Fizika Group, a Lancasterbased health and wellness technology company that develops digital health solutions and provides professional development to help at-risk communities thrive, share the goal of helping central Pennsylvania seniors to successfully age in place and stay healthy. HDC MidAtlantic, a nonprofit developer and manager of affordable housing in central Pennsylvania, partnered with Fizika in July to pilot the app with two dozen seniors residents living at HDC’s Duke Manor Apartments and King Theatre Apartments in Lancaster city.
