Pure Entertainment LBC To Stage “Bye Bye Birdie”

By Ann Mead Ash

“What I love about ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ is that you can come to this show and just enjoy,” said Heather Grayberg, who will both direct and choreograph the Lancaster Bible College (LBC) winter presentation. “(‘Birdie’ is) super fun, kitschy, loud, bright, and silly in a lot of ways.”

“Bye Bye Birdie” is a Tony Award-winning musical that first played on Broadway in 1960. LBC will stage the show in the Good Shepherd Chapel, 901 Eden Road, Lancaster, on Fridays, Jan. 18 and 25, at

7 p.m.; Saturdays, Jan. 19 and 26, at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Jan. 20, at 2 p.m.

“Birdie,” which has more than 30 members in the cast, is the story of Conrad Birdie, a singer and teenage heartthrob, played by Brayden Krikke, who is drafted into the Army. His agent, Albert Peterson, played by Richard Thomas, and Peterson’s secretary and love interest, Rosie Alvarez, played by Rachel Wiles, concoct a scheme to turn the situation into a publicity coup by planning to have Birdie sing one final song to a female member of his fan club, accompanied by a “last kiss.” The song and subsequent pucker are to take

place on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Enter teenager Kim MacAfee, played by Brianna Brady, who wins the competition.

“Birdie,” which is based loosely on Elvis Presley’s induction into the Army, is set in the late 1950s. “It’s between poodle skirts and the hippie movement,” said Grayberg.

“We’re trying to get in the reality of it,” she added, stating that there is a challenge in humanizing the characters to encourage audience members to relate to them rather than making them over-the-top caricatures. “We want to personify the Elvis (character) as much Brayden Krikke will star as Conrad Birdie in the Lancaster Bible as possible,” Grayberg said.

College presentation of “Bye Bye Birdie,” to be staged at the See “Bye Bye Birdie” pg 3 school’s Good Shepherd Chapel on Jan. 18, 19, 20, 25, and 26.

Many area children and their parents will remember visiting HayLoft Candles

at 95 S. Groffdale Road, Leola. For years, the location was the site of a petting zoo and a place to buy ice cream treats and scented candles.

SINCE 1973 BUYERS/SELLERS Scout Noah Fenton adds a toy to his bag.

Members of Pack 102 gather to sort and pack bags of Christmas presents for other children.

The bags were gender-specific and included items like coloring books, games, crayons, crafts, stuffed animals, and small toys.

The effort also meets specific advancement requirements for

Cub Scouts working on badges and awards in the Scouting program, such as community service projects.

In what has become an annual tradition, a group of 19 Cub Scouts from Pack 102 in Manheim Township, along with their families, spent an evening helping to brighten Christmas Day for children. The event took place on Nov. 29 at the Toys for Tots distribution facility at the space that used to be the Bon-Ton store in Park City Mall in Lancaster.

Pack 102 paired up with Marine Corps Toys for Tots, serving families of Lancaster County, to volunteer its time and to experience community service. Working at various stations, the Scouts helped sort and pack bags intended to fill Christmas stockings for boys and girls ages 3 to 10. By the end of the evening, more than 850 bags were assembled and ready for distribution.

“Bye Bye Birdie” from pg 1 is also working to emphasize the musical selections. “It will be overdanced,” said Grayberg. “It’s going to be big.”

According to Grayberg, the production will challenge student actors in a variety of ways.

“The song ‘Put on a Happy Face’ will be explosive with dance,” said the director, who hopes to add some juggling into the number. “Honestly Sincere” will be another standout. “You can’t help but dance and move and groove to it,” said Grayberg, who added that songs from the 1995 film will be included. “They give the character

of Rosie a little more dimension,” she said, adding that she hopes audience members will find themselves humming the tunes on the way out.

To keep the show moving continuously, the set will be a house that separates and turns around to create different geometric shapes. “It will complement the talent and let the talent be in the forefront,” said Grayberg. The set will allow for scene changes to remain fluid. “I hope to have no blackouts at all,” said Grayberg, who plans to choreograph set changes. “It will feel like a consistent piece of art.”

Grayberg praised the cast members, most of whom are part of the school’s musical theater program. “Our students are now working professionally out in the community, and the caliber of our shows will get better because of that,” said Grayberg.

“They are becoming true career professionals.”

Tickets to the show may be purchased at www.lbc.edu/ events. Tickets may also be purchased at the LBC box office in the Good Shepherd Chapel on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Readers who have questions may call 717-560-8241.

Focusing on the tension between Rosie and Albert’s mother, Mae, played by Rachel Allen, Grayberg also hopes to showcase the role of the young Hispanic woman. “Rosie is extremely Americanized and a strong character. She is very much the progressive woman of that time period. It will be interesting to play (up) the relationship between her and (Albert’s) mother,” she said.

While Grayberg’s directing vision calls for making the roles more realistic, her plans for the choreography of the show are to make it larger-than-life. Grayberg

Accompanied by brass quintet, organ and timpani, the choir will sing of all aspects of the Christmas story. In addition, the choir will present several other anthems and carols of the Advent and Christmas seasons and will look forward into 2019 as well. One selection will be “Hope for Resolution” by Paul Caldwell and Sean Ivory. This anthem, which features flutist C. J. Flint, combines the ancient chant “Of the Father’s Love Begotten” with a Zulu song titled “Thula Sizwe.”

Pictured on front: Lancaster Church of the Brethren’s

Show To Feature “Book Of Matthew Project” The Community Room on King, 106 W. King St., Lancaster, will host a show titled “The Book of Matthew Project” by artist Daehong Kim for First Friday, Jan. 4, from 6 to 9 p.m.

“The Book of Matthew Project” was conceived in June 2010 as a personal pledge to support a church ministry that was sending a group of young adults on a short-term service mission to South Korea. Kim committed to handwriting each verse from the Gospel of

Matthew on individual cards, accounting for 1,071 verses.

Kim also invited people to participate by contributing verses, and these verses and others were collected and applied on five canvases. The purpose of writing each verse was to facilitate a contemplative mode of worship and to help Kim choose wonder, praise, and gratitude in response to a challenging time in his life.

Kim is an American artist who was born in South Korea in the

late 1970s. He took up studio art and music performance as a child. At age 7, he became fascinated with basic generative design in a computer programming class. He is an advocate of art as an agent for telling stories and as a medium of renewal. He considers art integral to the narrative of his personal pilgrimage in human portrait and faith.

Attendees of the First Friday event will be able to meet the artist, read some of the handwritten verses, and enjoy snacks.

New Year’s Day Ride To Support Veterans

Volleyball Fundraiser from pg 1 tournament ‘Glen-style,’” said Denlinger. “(Glen Lapp) was so laid-back and relaxed.”

“Glen-style” means there are no officials. “Everybody calls their own game,” explained Denlinger. “If they touch the net, they make their own call. If it’s out, you make your call. That’s how Glen would have wanted it.”

Denlinger added that the Glenstyle play is explained to the teams prior to each tournament.

This year’s fundraiser will be held on Saturdays, Jan. 5 and 12, 2019, at Lancaster Mennonite High School (LMHS), 2176 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster.

The tournament will be divided into two divisions. Division B will play beginning at 9 a.m. on Jan. 5, and Division A will play beginning at noon on Jan. 12. A maximum of 20 teams will play in each division.

The tournament is organized

by Mark Leaman and Kevin Groff, with help from Glen’s cousin Joel Lapp. Leaman and Groff played volleyball for

Lancaster Mennonite High School (LMHS) and were coached

by Glen in 1992 and 1993. The initial tournament held in Glen’s honor was organized by his cousin Tim Lapp.

Glen was killed on Aug. 5, 2010, when he and nine others were ambushed after holding an eye and dental clinic in a remote area of Afghanistan. Glen, a nurse, traveled to Afghanistan in October 2008 through Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in partnership with International Assistance Mission. Eye care is a pressing need in Afghanistan. To reach the village where the clinic was held, members of the group first flew, then drove, and then walked, packing their equipment on hired horses.

Before becoming a nurse, Glen attended Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), where he played volleyball and earned a degree in math. Following graduation from EMU, Glen was not quite sure what he wanted to do

When Tyler Stumpf, Billy Hecht, and a few of their friends from the Mount Joy American Legion got together 10 years ago to plan and host a New Year’s Day motorcycle ride to raise funds to support local veterans, they had no idea how far-reaching the event would grow to be. “We thought maybe it’d be one or two years,” recalled Stumpf.

Instead, what started out as a fundraiser with 11 riders in year one has grown to more than 450 participants.

Some folks travel from as far as Philadelphia, Baltimore, the Poconos, and Philipsburg for the ride, and each year a prize is given to the rider who wins the Long Distance Award for making the longest trek to participate.

Perhaps a less-coveted prize is that of being named Baby New Year. Each year, one lucky or possibly unlucky - designee rides the entire first chilly mile dressed in a baby costume. Elizabethtown resident Larry Witters will have the honor of serving as Baby New Year for 2019.

The 10th anniversary New Year’s Day motorcycle ride will take off from the Walter S. Ebersole American Legion Post 185, located at 255 W. Main St., Mount Joy, at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2019. The registration fee, which is a set per-person donation, will include a meal at the conclusion of the ride.

Registration will open at 10 a.m., and folks are invited to socialize at Post 185, where a variety of breakfast food and coffee will be available for purchase. The Post 185 Ladies

next. He worked as the dorm supervisor at LMHS and coached volleyball. Eventually, he decided to become a nurse, completing a Johns Hopkins accelerated course to become a registered nurse in one year.

During his adult life, Glen lived in six states, serving people from all walks of life as a registered nurse working at Lancaster Regional Hospital and with the Traveling Nurses Association, which took him to New York City and Oregon. He also worked in a government clinic on a Native American reserve in Supai, Ariz.

In December of 2011, LMS began the endowment, which - in honor of Glen’s work overseas is used to provide scholarships for immigrant and refugee students. The fund supports needbased scholarships that enable students to receive an education at LMS. Since it began, the volleyball tournament has raised $50,000 for the fund.

Denlinger noted that the tournament, which started with family and friends of Glen, has grown over the years and that last year, a few teams had to be turned away. This year, MCC, which still has a presence in Afghanistan, will have a display at both events that will include photos of Glen and testimonials. Representatives will be with the display to answer questions.

Readers who wish to learn more about the tournament may visit http://glenlappvolley ball.weebly.com. Players and teams that wish to register may do so by searching for “Glen Lapp Memorial Volleyball” at www.active.com. Registrations will be accepted through Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2019.

The Witness Tree Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has announced that official nationwide planning for the 250th anniversary of the United States securing independence has begun with the inaugural meeting of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission in Philadelphia. Lynn Forney Young, honorary DAR president general, attended the meeting. According to the DAR, Young is one of only 16 private citizens appointed by bipartisan members of Congress to serve as commissioners alongside eight members of Congress and nine federal officials on the commission.

The commission, established

by Congress in 2016, is facilitating nationwide plans to observe the 250th anniversary of the United States. Leading up to the commemoration, this body will play a central role in shaping the anniversary narrative on a national level. Members of the group will solicit ideas about

how to mark the anniversary, meet to develop a plan, submit recommendations for the consideration of the president and Congress, and assist with the execution of the approved itinerary.

The Lancaster County community can get involved in this national commemoration by working with the Witness Tree Chapter to generate ideas about how to celebrate, both locally and nationally. Witness Tree is planning to be involved with the local community’s celebration for the 250th anniversary.

To learn more about DAR membership and upcoming events, readers may visit www.pssdar.org/chapter_sites/ witnesstree.php. Membership inquiries and other questions may be directed to Suzanne Whallon at suzanne.whallon@comcast.net or 717-201-6379. For more information on DAR’s involvement with preparations for the 250th anniversary, readers may visit www.dar.org/America250.

Mount Joy American Legion members (from left) Tyler Stumpf, Nicole Tipping, Billy Hecht, and Roland Geib invite the community to a motorcycle ride on New Year’s Day, followed by a hearty pork and sauerkraut meal. Proceeds from the 10th annual event will support the Lebanon VA Medical Center.

Auxiliary will serve homemade soup before the ride. A few vendors will offer items for purchase including commemorative shirts and patches for vests.

Organized by members of Post 185, the ride is open to the public and not only to motorcyclists, but to drivers of any other vehicles who would like to participate to honor veterans. The approximately 25- to 30-mile ride follows a scenic route along the Susquehanna River through Marietta and Bainbridge.

The ride will finish at the Elizabethtown American Legion Post 329, located at 240 N. Hanover St., Elizabethtown, where a traditional pork and sauerkraut meal will be served in the banquet hall. More than 100 pounds of mashed potatoes and 160 pounds of pork and sauerkraut were prepared last year, and any leftovers go up for bids at the close of the event.

Attendees may also bid on items at a Chinese auction, including

motorcycle merchandise, gift cards, and more.

Stumpf and Hecht said that in the past nine years, the charity ride has raised more than $125,000 for the veterans who utilize services at the Lebanon VA Medical Center. Organizers attribute the ride’s success to its timing - not a lot of other local rides are scheduled on New Year’s Day - and also to the fact that all of the funds raised go directly toward local veterans, with no overhead or administrative costs. Organizers would like to raise at least $25,000 this year to reach or surpass the $150,000 mark.

Icy conditions and freezing cold temperatures last year meant that it was the first time the ride portion of the event had to be canceled, but Stumpf said that nearly 200 people still showed up for the meal at the Legion and raised more than $23,000.

The winners of the 2018 Code4PA codeathon have created a mobile app that provides users with personalized recommendations for opioid addiction treatment. The winners were selected from 28 projects developed by teams of participants from across the state. More than 350 technology professionals, addiction and recovery experts, college students, state officials and others took part in this year’s Code4PA, which kicked off on Sept. 20 in Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The teams returned on Oct. 20 to demonstrate their projects for judging.

The app, called Care4PA, suggests services and treatment providers based on information provided by the user such as his or her location and insurance provider. Users can also view other patients’ ratings of providers. Over time, the app will use this feedback to refine and improve recommendations. The app also provides state officials with insight into provider performance and utilization.

Haunted Lantern Tour To Return With “Mortality Within” in”

By Chelsea Peifer

Sara Mimnall and Rebecca Wright chose the theme of “Mortality Within” for Columbia’s Haunted Lantern Tour this year because they wanted to introduce people to a not-often-talked-about aspect of the rivertown’s history. The theme will focus on the disease and poverty that struck Columbia and other communities in earlier days, discussing the presence of pesthouses and sanitariums and how much things have changed. “It shows how people suffered more than they had to because they didn’t have the

like we do now,” noted Mimnall.

“It will also touch on the Great Depression and how the lack of food (and resources) can change people,” Wright added. Popular characters from past years will also reappear, Wright said, such as William Campbell, a local trapper who died from rabies and is buried in Columbia’s historic Mount Bethel Cemetery. History abounds in the cemetery and the town, and according to Mimnall and Wright, while spooky elements are intertwined on the tour, history is indeed the emphasis.

The hourlong guided tours will take place on Friday and Saturday

John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 23 S. Sixth St., Columbia.

Tours will step off every half hour beginning at 6:30 p.m., with the last tour starting at 9:30 p.m. Participants will follow guides to Locust Street and through a loop in the Mount Bethel Cemetery before returning to the church.

To purchase tickets, interested individuals may call 717-517-2442.

A specific tour time will be designated when tickets are reserved. Organizers strongly encourage people to order tickets in advance. A limited number of tickets may be available on the night of the tours but are not

It is easy to associate vigilant sun protection with summertime, when the sun is shining intensely. However, sun protection is necessary every day, regardless of the weather or time of year.

Even when it is cold or overcast, UV rays that cause skin aging and skin cancer are reaching the skin. In the right winter weather conditions, people can sustain sun damage just as easily as during the summer.

UVB rays, the main cause of sunburn, are the strongest in the summer. However, UVB rays can burn and damage skin year-round, especially at high altitudes and on reflective surfaces such as snow or ice. Snow reflects up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV light, so the rays hit twice, further increasing the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.

UVA rays remain constant throughout the year and can penetrate through clouds and fog.

UVA rays can also penetrate glass, so it is still possible to damage skin while spending a bright winter day indoors.

The first line of defense against this sun damage is clothing. Covering up is easier in the winter, because it is cold, but the face, head, and neck tend to remain exposed year-round, and this is where most skin cancers occur.

People should not forget their UVblocking sunglasses and broadbrimmed hat before heading out.

Sunglasses protect the eyes while also fighting snow glare, and a hat keeps the head warm while keeping UV rays from damaging the scalp.

A broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher should be applied daily to all exposed skin.

People should make sure to cover often-missed spots like the tops of their ears, around the eyes, and near the hairline. Individuals should consider choosing a moisturizing sunscreen with ingredients like lanolin or glycerin to combat dry winter skin. Finally, people should try to avoid the peak sun hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and seek shade when they can.

2018-19 LIHEAP Applications Open The start of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) application process for the 2018-19 season has begun.

LIHEAP provides assistance for home heating bills to keep lowincome Pennsylvanians warm and safe during the winter months.

Assistance is available for renters and homeowners. Crisis and regular LIHEAP applications are available now through Friday, April 12, 2019.

During the 2017-18 LIHEAP season, 344,008 households statewide received nearly $116 million in LIHEAP cash benefits.

These households received an average season benefit of $337.

LIHEAP benefits are paid directly to the utility company.

Consumers are encouraged to enroll in LIHEAP and to explore other assistance programs available from their utilities and

various nonprofit groups. Combined, these many different resources help hundreds of thousands of households and families across the commonwealth every year.

The program’s goal is to prevent LIHEAP customers from entering the winter season with shut-off utilities. Eligibility for the 2018-19 LIHEAP season is set at 150 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines.

Online applications for LIHEAP can be completed at www.compass.state.pa.us. Paper applications are available through local county assistance offices. For helpful tips on keeping warm throughout the winter while saving money on utility costs, readers may visit www.energysavers.gov.

For more information on LIHEAP, readers may visit www.dhs.pa.gov.

Irwin Earns Eagle Scout Rank Daniel J. Irwin, a member of Boy Scout Troop 102, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He is the son of Dukie and Stacey Irwin of Lancaster.

Daniel joined Troop 102 in 2011 after years in Cub Scout Pack 316.

After begin inducted into the Order of the Arrow in 2016, he served in various senior leadership positions in the troop, including chaplain aide, assistant patrol leader, troop historian, and patrol leader.

During his years with the troop, he participated in many events, including summer camp at several locations in New York and Virginia, the winter Klondike Derby at Camp Mack, hiking and several trips to the Gettysburg Battlefield.

Attainment of the Eagle Rank requires active membership in a troop for six months as a Life Scout while serving in a leadership position in

the troop. It also requires letters of recommendation, completion of at least 21 merit badges, including many Eagle-required badges, and the planning, development, and leadership in a service project helpful to any religious institution, school, or community. Successful completion of an Eagle rank board of review is also required.

Daniel’s Eagle Scout project was to design and build an informational map display along the Conestoga River at Conestoga Pines Park in Lancaster city. Along with his team of Scouts and adults, he spent many hours planning and working on the kiosk.

Daniel graduated from a Lancaster County homeschool program in 2018. He is a freshman in the Honors College at Millersville University, where he is majoring in writing studies.

Airport Unveils New Sculpture

Students Hold Day Of Giving

The Lancaster Airport Authority dedicated and unveiled the sculpture “We Care to Dream” at a ceremony on Nov. 14 at the Lancaster Airport. Created

by Patrick Mack of Indianapolis and located in front of the Lancaster Airport Terminal, the permanently mounted polished stainless steel sculpture represents humanity’s love of flight.

During a private ceremony, the sculpture was dedicated in memory of Marvin E. Miller Jr., past Pennsylvania legislator, Lancaster businessman, and member of the Authority’s board of directors.

For nearly 23 years, Miller gave his time and talents to the airport’s growth and success. He served on the Authority board, most notably as chairman, from 1998 until his death in 2016.

Along with Miller’s widow, judge Margaret C. Miller, family, friends and business associates attended the ceremony.

The Lancaster Airport Authority recently unveiled its new sculpture, “We Care to Dream.”

Patrick Mack created the piece.

Ringing In The New Year With Father Time

By Chelsea Peifer

Music, mascots, crafts, games, and a cascade of balloons are just a few of the fun things planned for New Year’s Eve at Noon at the National Watch and Clock Museum, 514 Poplar St., Columbia. Children and families are invited to ring in 2019 - just a dozen hours early - with Father Time at the fourth annual celebration, set to take place at the museum from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 31.

“This is a fun event geared toward kids and their families,” said Abby Krouse, museum admissions and store manager. “There are lots of activities, and everyone always enjoys the countdown and balloon drop at 12 o’clock, which for our event is noon (instead of midnight).”

Joining in the festivities will be local mascots, including Father Time, who will lead a dance party

Resurrection Catholic School’s kindergarten and first-grade students display blankets that they made to donate to community members who need them.

Lifetree Café Plans Program about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting.

The program, titled “Second Chances: From Down and Out to Up and at ‘Em,” will feature the filmed story of author and entrepreneur Weldon Long. A high school

dropout and addict, Long was in prison the third time when he decided to change the direction of his life.

Admission is free. For details, contact 717-473-9115 or ltclancaster@gmail.com.

The National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia will host New Year’s at Noon, a daytime celebration for children and families, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Dec. 31. A countdown to noon will feature a balloon drop in the museum lobby.

Lifetree Café, located at Emmaus Road Café, 1886 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, will feature insights from a former felon turned inspirational speaker on Tuesday, Jan. 8, at 7 p.m. Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation

together with disc jockey Stevie.

Children will have the opportunity to make and wear hats crafted out of recycled materials, and a photo booth will be set up for modeling those creations. Columbia Public Library director Lisa Greybill will lead a story time. Additional activities will include a New Year’s trivia game, face painting, and family challenges while racing against the clock. Attendees will also be able to create time capsules to remember 2018, jot down resolutions for 2019 to post on a resolution wall, decorate cookies, and more.

The main attraction is the countdown to noon, when about 800 balloons will be dropped from the ceiling of the museum lobby following a rowdy countdown led by Father Time.

Attendees may also explore the museum and its regular exhibits, which include interactive displays.

Advance registration is not necessary. All activities will be included with the cost of general museum admission, which features separate prices for adults, senior citizens, and children ages 5 to 16.

Museum admission is free for children age 4 and under. Family rates are also available.

Last year’s celebration drew approximately 300 attendees. “Everyone has a great time - they love the music and the games. It’s one big party, and what they love most is that it’s just for kids,” said Krouse.

“We do have families come back every year for all of our activities and mostly the balloon drop.”

“It’s a great opportunity for families to be together and have fun and celebrate the new year coming in,” Krouse continued.

For more information, readers may call the museum at 717684-8261, ext. 211, or visit www.museumoftime.org.

On Dec. 6, students at Resurrection Catholic School spent the day making gifts for others during the holiday season.

Students created cards and ornaments to be delivered to Meals on Wheels, Historic St. Mary’s Community Meals, and parishioners of St. Mary, St. Joseph, St. Anthony, and San Juan Bautista churches who are confined to their homes.

As they worked on the gifts, students each left one shoe outside their classrooms. During an intermission, it was announced that St. Nicholas had been in the building leaving treats inside the shoes.

Also in the spirit of the season, students chose stars from a Giving Tree and were slated to donate socks, gloves, and hats to Lancaster County’s Families in Transition program.

HayLoft Ice Cream from pg 1 In the spring, HayLoft Ice Cream, at the same location, became a nonprofit organization raising funds to help troubled boys find success. “We opened May 14 with the sole purpose of supporting the Allegany Boys Camp,” explained Merv Lapp, manager of HayLoft, who added that all the on-site staff except the managers are volunteers.

Allegany Boys Camp, located in Oldtown, Md., was founded in 2011 as an expansion of Bald Eagle Boys Camp in Mill Hall, Pa. “They cater to troubled boys ages 9 to 16, and they work with them for up to two years,” said Lapp. Allegany operates with the understanding that all young men wish to succeed, but that all boys may not have the emotional tools needed to control behavior when faced with challenging events. In a wilderness setting, campers learn how to build their own shelter, where they may live for up to two years. Physical resources to build the structure and firewood for heat and cooking are provided. HayLoft has a structure built by the boys on display so customers can get an idea of how the boys live. “A group of the boys came up here and put that together for us,” noted Lapp.

While at Allegany, the boys learn to build relationships as well as shelter.

Campers are counseled and supervised by Christian men, and positive peer pressure is encouraged as successes and failures are evaluated. Hands-on learning experiences are offered, along with team-building exercises and support in the development of healthy relationships. “They (work at) problem solving as a group,” said Lapp, who described regular meetings called “powwows,” where campers discuss their day and learn to work through problems.

“Each camper sets goals to work toward,” added Lapp.

Bald Eagle Boys Camp is supported by an eatery in Mill Hall called the Ice Shack, and now Allegany has HayLoft, which sells Italian ice made on the premises, along with 16 flavors of hand-dipped ice cream.

“We have soft-serve in vanilla, chocolate, and twist,” said Lapp, who added that gelato, sundaes, milkshakes, and ice shakes are also featured on the dessert menu.

The offerings at HayLoft are not restricted to sweet treats, however. “We have salads and yogurt parfaits,” said Lapp, who stated that sandwich wraps and soup will likely be added during the winter months.

Soft pretzels are made at the facility, and pretzel sandwich flavors including chicken and ranch, ham and cheese sandwiches, pepperoni, and hot dog are on the menu.

In the shop, HayLoft sells a variety of scented candles as in the past, but other items are available as well, including books, dipping mustards, and old-fashioned types of candy. Outside a duck pond is featured, and visitors may purchase pellets to feed the water fowl. Lapp noted that plans for the location include adding a playground on one corner of the property.

HayLoft began the transition to a nonprofit entity when Dave Yoder, who owned the ice cream shop and still owns the building, approached the Allegany Boys Camp board and asked if the group wanted to utilize the building. “It had been the vision of the board to do something like this,” noted Lapp. The Allegany board set up a board of six to oversee the HayLoft project.

One of the board members knew Lapp from church and asked if he would consider becoming the manager.

HayLoft is currently open from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays.
