Penn Manor

Heritage Center to hold open house

BlueRock Heritage Center, 2251 River Road, Washington

Boro, will host its annual open house event on Sunday, June 4, from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Heritage Center features exhibits and displays of the local area with a focus on native indigenous people who once inhabited the immediate area. It is located in a renovated 1832 stone grist mill that was constructed by Jacob Witmer. A recent acquisition to the displays is a coverlet made by Jacob Witmer, which is signed and dated 1838. The coverlet was woven on a home loom, which was common during the period. Another new item is a board with the date 1807 and carved name of W.M. Lewis. This board was found in the barn, and the signature has been identified as that of William M. Lewis, who married Jacob Witmer’s daughter, Catherine.

The open house will feature a 2 p.m. presentation by Ed Wilson. The one-hour slideshow session, “The Indigenous Peoples and Their Land,” will highlight the environment of the area and how it influenced the prehistoric people and their occupation of the land. Wilson will utilize archaeological records to present how the prehistoric people adapted to the local environmental conditions. He will focus on the historic contact period, which represents the impact of the Europeans on the indigenous people.

Circle Legacy, a local group that promotes Native American lifestyles and culture, will have a display table showcasing and explaining traditional items. Many items are handmade, representing how animals and plants were utilized to provide for some of the necessities.

The beauty is in the details

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

At 17 years old, JJ Roach of Lancaster had his first art show in 2021 at Mulberry Art Studios, 21 N. Mulberry St., Lancaster. Two years and many art shows later, JJ’s artwork will return to Mulberry Art Studios with “Surreal Detail,” an exhibit that will run through the month of June. The show will have an opening reception on Friday, June 2, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Mulberry Art Studios.

In “Surreal Detail,” JJ draws inspiration from complexities found in nature, such as celestial bodies and

flora. JJ also said that he is fascinated by the Fibonacci sequence as it occurs in nature, as well as objects such as puzzle pieces and their relationship with each other. JJ created most of his work in “Surreal Detail” using pens and large pieces of paper, and he said that it takes him several months to complete one piece. Since his first show two years ago, JJ has focused on making his art more complex and adding more details. “His pieces went from large-spaced work to these tiny, beautiful little pieces that he does now,” said Carol Roach, JJ’s mother. “He’s had a long road, and it’s pretty amazing to see where he is now.”

As JJ increased the level of detail in his art over the past two years, he also participated in several art shows. In 2021, he displayed his work for Night of Entrepreneurs in Harrisburg as well as at Hershey Gardens in Hershey. In July 2022, JJ’s art was displayed in the West Rotunda of the state Capitol building. His work was featured at the Capitol again in April 2023. Roach’s recent collection of work “Celestial Dreams” won first place at “Art of the State,” an exhibition at the State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg.

ended up staying after class on the last day of school to work on my drawing more,” JJ said.

“She showed a little kindness to him, and it blossomed into this beautiful journey that he’s on now,” Carol added.

JJ’s journey with art began when he was in eighth grade at Manheim Central Middle School. JJ had no interest in participating, but his art teacher, Julia Hibshman, continued her efforts to engage him. Hibsham gave JJ a drawing tutorial and issued an assignment: Fill a notebook with whatever you want to draw. As Hibsham saw JJ fill out his notebook, she gave him a larger piece of paper so that he would have more room for his designs. “I

After discovering his fondness for drawing, JJ also found art to be an effective outlet. JJ has been diagnosed with autism and ADHD and said that creating art helps him to channel his focus and apply his attention to detail. He first discovered his love for drawing large-scale, detailed pictures in 2020 after he saw a sunflower in his backyard. JJ immediately sat down with a pen and a large piece of paper and began to create a complicated design in the center of the page. As he expanded the design, it began to take the shape of the sunflower he had seen earlier. “That’s when I noticed my attention to detail,” JJ said. “Before, I was using oil pastel for my drawings and making thicker lines.”

Lax teams grab thrilling wins in District openers

BY MONA STEINHAUER

It was full steam ahead for the Comets competing in the District Three championships which got underway over the last week. The track teams were represented by nine individuals competing on Friday and Saturday, May 19-20 at Shippensburg University. The baseball team opened action on Friday while the softball team did the same on Monday. Both lacrosse teams opened on Tuesday, May 23 as did the volleyball team. With that being said, only the lacrosse teams advanced to the second round.

The girls’ lacrosse team hosted ninth seed Dallastown (11-6) while the boys traveled to No. 8 State College. Both games came down to the wire with the girls pulling away for a 10-8 win and the boys advancing with an overtime triumph.

The lady Comets (13-5) fell behind 3-0 early and were down 4-1 before scoring three straight goals, one each by Mia Jones, Erin Shipley, and Emily Kemmer, to tie the score at 4-4 with 4:14 left. The visitors, however, shook off that momentum builder, scoring twice in the final 49

seconds for a 6-4 lead at the break.

“Our strength in facing adversity has improved this year and we take it on with stride,” said head coach Anneli Starry. “This game, I think, showed that the best. Our mental game has gotten so much better this year from previous years.”

The second half played differently. Manor’ Jarliah Ferko scored the first goal after the break and then scored again with 9:42 remaining, knotting the score at 7-7.

“At halftime we talked about our strategy on defense and that changed the pace of the game,” she added. “We shook things up on the attacking end as well, which again made Dallastown have to re-adapt. Adapting in real time is tough.”

The Wildcats edged ahead 8-7 but not for long as Joelle Krosen’s goal with 4:18 showing again tied the game. The Comets took their first and only lead when Erin Shipley scored from a free position with 1:42 left to play. Manor gained possession after the draw and added an insurance goal when Claire Eckroat assisted Kemmer with 25 ticks left. The hosts outscored the Wildcats 6-2 in that second half.

“In the final three minutes, I didn’t lose hope,” said Starry. “The girls stayed true, and I knew that we weren’t going down. We took a timeout after that to talk about how to handle the final minute and what was going to happen, and the team made it happen.”

Nafziger finished with five saves.

The Comets have not been to district playoffs since 2016.

“Having a two-week layoff was tough but it gave us a chance to rest and learn some new tactics,” said Starry. “Overall, the coaching staff is proud of what this team accomplished today.”

BOYS’ LACROSSE

Despite a 2.5-hour bus ride to State College, the boys’ lacrosse team got off to a solid start, taking a 3-2 lead over the hosts Tuesday night. That, however, was short-lived as State College rallied with four second quarter scores and held a 6-4 lead at the half.

After a dead-even third quarter, the Comets (13-6) started to take control. They outscored State College 4-2 in the final quarter forcing extra time to decide the outcome. That was when Adam Hollinger stepped up with the game-winning goal, pushing Manor to an 11-10 triumph.

Eli Warfel led the way with five goals and two assists. Grant Bradburn and Benedict Flinchbaugh each scored twice with Aidan Gerlach adding one.

“We were down three with about three minutes left,” recalled head coach Connor Rowe. “It took a full team effort and a lot of grit to fight back. I give a lot of credit to my assistant coaches and my offensive coordinator, Brady Charles. We have been best friends since preschool and have been drawing up plays in the back yard forever. The OT winner was no different.

25-23 were more than competitive.

“We improved as we went and the scores reflected that,” said head coach Chris Telesco. “We were proud of the fight we saw in the boysdown to the last point. Wyatt Rohrer showed he can run an offense with the best of setters and spread the ball beautifully. Harry Whited attacked the ball effectively, mostly because our passers passed even the toughest served with confidence.

“I am thankful that I was able to come back to be part of this crew,” he added. “They were willing and eager to grow, and while the seniors will move on to bigger things, the younger guys show a ton of promise.”

Comets almost pulled off an upset, bowing out with a heart-breaking 54, ten-inning loss.

“Really tough loss to end a really nice season,” said head coach Tom Fish. “We lost ten seniors to graduation and still managed to take on a tough schedule, deal with injuries and come out with 12 wins, a winning 8-7 record in Section One and a trip to districts. And for the second straight year, we defeated each team in our section at least once. That is something I am really proud of.”

Wilson took a 4-0 lead in the third with a two-run homer and a pair of two out RBI hits against starter Bradyn Eckert.

offense chance after chance by keeping Wilson off the board.”

With the bases loaded in the bottom of the tenth and no outs, Stuart made a catch deep in right and fired a perfect strike to home, gunning down the would be game-winning run at the plate.

“Unfortunately, with two outs, the next batter reached, and Wilson celebrated,” Fish said.

“Proud of these guys and proud of the season they put together. This was the second straight year we lost a district playoff game on a walk off run in heartbreaking fashion,” he added. “We need to find a way to host a game next year.”

Mackenzie

Shipley (1a), Ferko and Kemmer each scored twice with Grace Gerner, Mia Jones, Kroesen, and Eckroat (1a) rounded out the balanced attack with one goal each.

“I think the most important plays were the faceoffs that rewarded us the ball late in the game,” he added. “Our sophomore faceoff man, Ish Bolorin, stepped up to the plate. I’m proud of him and how he has competed all season.

“We have to enjoy this one but at the same time get ready for a second-round matchup against top seed Manheim Township (15-0).”

TRACK

At Shippensburg, Trevor Schneider was Manor’s highest finisher, taking 9th after clearing 6-2 in the high jump. Six different athletes cleared that height with the results coming down to misses. Mechanicsburg’s Ben Reichenbach, who also cleared 6-2, was fifth.

Kaleb Kabakjian’s 9:33.91 in the 3200-meter run was a personal record and good for 12th place. Drew Lebo also finished 12th, clearing 12-3 in the pole vault while Mikayla Weaver matched that effort, going 4-10 in the high jump. The freshman was the fifth highest L-L League place-winner.

Jael Cruz was 17th in the discus with a 130-11. Both Adrian Smith and Jon Osman competed in the 100meter dash and advanced to the semifinals. Osman also competed in the 200 and was part of the 4x100 relay with Jovani Martinez, Lebo and Smith.

VOLLEYBALL

The 14th seeded Comets (9-9) had a tall task in taking on No. 3 Central York (13-1) in the opening round of the District Three 3A playoffs last Tuesday. And while the Comets fell 3-0, their game scores of 25-17, 25-19 and

Wyatt Rohrer was solid all around as evidenced by his 15 assists, five digs, two aces, one block night. Harry Whited continued to be a force at the net and led with seven kills in addition to a pair of aces and two blocks. Noah Reen was close behind with six kills and also served two aces and put up one block. Luke Thomas led the blocking crew with three and also added four kills.

BASEBALL

The baseball team opened their road to a district championship with a first-round matchup at No. 7 Wilson on Friday, May 19. The underdog

“Bradyn started the season with his broken left arm in a sling but got this start and cruised through the first two innings,” recalled Fish.

Manor responded in the top of the fourth. Isaac Braegelmann, Grant Fry and Spencer Stuart loaded the bags with consecutive base hits. Then, with one out, sophomore Billy Riggs connected for a game-tying grand slam.

“The score was tied for what seemed like hours,” said Fish. “Bryce Avery relieved Eckert and pitched a perfect fourth and Grant Fry, coming back from his own arm injury, went the rest of the way and gave his

SOFTBALL

The No. 10 seed Comets (14-6) traveled to No. 7 Dallastown (15-5) last Monday, May 22 but couldn’t find enough offense to advance. The Wildcats, behind all-time strikeout leader Gabby Fowler and her ten strikeouts, held the Comets to three hits and pulled away with a 3-0 victory. Comet ace Juliegh Bowmaster finished with three strikeouts, three walks and scattered four hits in the loss.

“We had three errors and gave up three unearned runs,” noted head coach Dave Stokes. “Too many popups and strikeouts.”

Like many churches in the area, LUMC has offered vacation Bible school (VBS) programs in the past that have featured curricula from pre-made kits. Engroff, who has decades of experience working with similar programs, pitched an idea to the church: offer a unique curriculum for kids by pooling resources from different programs and adding fresh material. The idea resulted in the development of Camp VBS, a VBS program which will take place from Monday, June 19, to Thursday, June 22. The program will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at LUMC each day.

Camp VBS revolves around a theme of enjoying the outdoors and relates Scripture to a variety of activities. Engroff said that the primary challenge of developing youth programming is making content relatable to kids. While developing Camp VBS, he wanted to place an emphasis on making the content not only accessible, but also applicable to the lives of children and their families. “Sometimes we get caught up in the language of Scripture. I wanted to offer an opportunity for kids to experience something they might not have access to often, like camping,” Engroff added. “There’s so much fun you can have with just camping, having a bonfire, playing some guitar and coming together.”

The majority of Camp VBS features outdoor activities, such as completing a scavenger hunt for craft materials and communing around a bonfire. Engroff also added a portion of the program that features an escape room, where participants will have to solve a puzzle and work together to complete a challenge.

In addition to making the program accessible with regard to its content, Engroff wanted to make it accessible for the church as it hosts Camp VBS. With a simple premise like camping, LUMC is able to place less strain on its budget, something that Engroff believes will benefit the kids. “It’s about getting on kids’ level and hearing about their lives and families,” Engroff said. “If we’re not getting hung up on a big production, we can focus more on connecting with the students.”

Homeschoolers plan benefit event

Ancient Paths homeschool co-op will present a Young Entrepreneur Market on Saturday, June 10, from 9 to 11 a.m. at Living Hope Community Church, 2823 Columbia Ave., Lancaster. All proceeds will go to Hope International.

The event will feature handmade items and food for sale, including hot dogs and baked goods. In addition to the kid-run businesses, local businesses have donated various items to be sold. Cash only will be accepted for purchases at the fair. Face painting, a balloon artist, and free kids’ activities will also be avail-

able. Attendees are invited to bring aluminum cans to the event, and Sahd Metal Recycling will donate to Hope International as a result.

Throughout the year, children from Ancient Paths’ seven families learned about Hope International and the various places and people it serves. To learn about the Great Commission and make the world a better place, students learned about and from local entrepreneurs. The students then created their own small businesses in order to raise money for and awareness of Hope International.

Students are looking forward to supporting Hope International through the Young Entrepreneur Market.

A celebratory event will be held on Saturday, June 10, at 11 a.m. in Drumore Township Park, 1675 Furniss Road, Drumore. The public is invited to celebrate the presentation of new informational signs. Refreshments will be provided.

In 2022, the Friends of Fishing Creek received a grant from Lancaster Clean Water Partners to provide education about the Fishing Creek watershed. The grant included the creation of the new signs to be installed in Drumore Township Park, highlighting the native plants and functions of the pollinator garden

and rain garden as well as the importance of the riparian buffers that have been planted over the past several years.

The Fishing Creek watershed is located in the southern portion of Lancaster County. In the Fishing Creek Nature Preserve, visitors can find a stream that hosts freshwater trout, cranes, herons, and countless other species; native wildflowers along the streambank; and vernal pools.

Friends of Fishing Creek is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) volunteer organization committed to monitoring, preserving, enhancing, and promoting the Fishing Creek watershed through education, community involvement, and watershed improvement projects. Since its founding in 2006, Friends of Fishing Creek has worked to protect watershed health in Drumore and engage community members in its projects.

In Drumore Township Park, people can find the Friends’ pollinator garden, containing many native wildflower species to attract butterflies and other pollinators. In the same park is the rain garden sponsored by Donegal Trout Unlimited and planted by Friends of Fishing Creek volun-

teers. The rain garden helps control stormwater runoff while hosting a variety of native plants.

In recent years, the Friends of Fishing Creek group has also partnered with local Girl Scout troops. The Friends planned and executed several education events where dozens of Girl Scouts to learned about water quality and conservation efforts. In April 2019, approximately 80 Girl Scouts attended a hands-on event where they learned about the water cycle, participated in macroinvertebrate water testing, and helped the Friends plant the pollinator garden. At an event in May 2022, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and parents joined the Friends at Drumore Township Park to learn about riparian buffer tree plantings, native pollinator plants, and macroinvertebrate testing.

The Friends of Fishing Creek

group has also sponsored several adult educational presentations at the Quarryville Library. Professional guest speakers visited the library to share information on invasive species and the Community Wildlife Habitat program.

The Friends of Fishing Creek is able to pursue its mission through the help of partner entities such as the Lancaster Conservancy, Donegal Trout Unlimited, Lancaster Clean Water Partners, and the Drumore Township supervisors.

Volunteers are needed for the Friends’ continuing projects, including water testing, tree plantings and repair, trash cleanup, and dam dismantling in the Fishing Creek Preserve. For more information about the celebratory event or volunteer opportunities, call 717-548-3581.

present to identify artifacts. People who have found arrowheads, stone tools, or other objects and would like to know about them should bring them along to be identified. Many times, the time period for the arrowhead or stone tool can be identified by its style and stone

material.

Additionally, the 1856 Wittmer barn will be open for visitors to see the current renovations that have taken place over the last few years.

The large-frame, Pennsylvania-style bank barn, constructed in 1856 by Christian Wittmer, has been under-

going restoration for several years. Exterior siding and windows have been replaced, masonry repairs have occurred, and new electric has been installed. It is envisioned that the barn will be used to display agricultural equipment and to hold special events. The local sewer authority, LASA, which owns the building and leases it to Blue Rock, has provided many of the materials and supplies for the restoration. Volunteers have provided the labor to install the new siding and windows and have painted the structure.

The open house is free to attend, and parking is located at the parking lot by the river access at Blue Rock Road. A paved pathway connects the parking lot and Heritage Center.

They say that the best things in life are free. Maybe the only thing better is people sharing resources with others.

The Long’s Park Amphitheater Foundation’s Summer Music Series is back bigger and better than ever. But as it has evolved into a major event in Lancaster County, the Summer Music Series has become more reliant on the financial support of local businesses and philanthropic organizations.

Long’s Park Amphitheater Foundation president Tom Ellis said that the popular events couldn’t be offered free to the public without that support. This year’s 13-concert Summer Music Series, which will be conducted every Sunday at 7:30 p.m. from June 4 to Aug. 27 at Long’s Park, 1441 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster, is being backed by Citadel, Clark Associates, Ephrata National Bank, Everence, the Hershey Company, Lancaster County Community Foundation and Woodstream.

“It’s a special event and businesses are allowing us to have this event,” said Ellis. “The series doesn’t happen without these sponsors. It’s not a nicety; it’s a necessity. They’ve really stepped up in an economy that doesn’t allow for this type of funding.”

“We curate music and art for everyone in the Lancaster communi-

ty,” added Ellis. “Most of our audience is drawn from the city of Lancaster.”

If generous support has become a trademark of the Long’s Park Amphitheater Foundation’s Summer Music Series’ 61-year tradition, so has diversity. This summer’s music series, which features a wide variety of genres, from jazz to Irish, from blues to rock, from bluegrass to funk and soul, promises not to disappoint.

Traditionally, the Summer Music Series has drawn between 3,000 and 6,000 viewers for each 90-minute concert. That number usually balloons to 25,000 to 30,000 for its annual patriotic concert, which this year will be celebrated on July 2.

“It’s how summer begins,” said Ellis. “For people who grew up here, they’ll say, ‘I remember going to the Long’s Park Summer Music Series.’ I think this year’s lineup is one of the best we’ve had in years. Its diversity is curated for every audience. We want to make sure the music resonates with the citizens of Lancaster. We almost need to be fresh and new every year so people come back.”

The now-iconic Long’s Park Amphitheater was built in 1962, and the summer music simply followed. Over those years, the Summer Music Series has introduced people to performers like Count Basie, Pat and Shirley Boone, The Smothers Brothers, Helen Reddy, The Spinners, Aretha Franklin, Arlo Guthrie, Rober-

ta Flack and Kevin Bacon, many before they became household names.

“The musicians come to us after every event and tell us, ‘I hope you realize what you have here,’” said Ellis. “We don’t look for bands that create an on-stage performance through pyrotechnics and lighting.

We want it to be pure art through music. We want to have artists who are true to their craft.”

Teen SummerZine program will return to Lancaster libraries

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

The third annual Teen SummerZine program will return to Lancaster on Tuesdays, June 6 and 20, July 11 and 25 and Aug. 1 and 15. The sessions will begin at 4 p.m.; the July sessions will be held virtually over Zoom, and the June and August sessions will take place at Manheim Township Public Library, 595 Granite Run Drive, Lancaster. Through the program, youths ages 12 to 19 will have opportunities to

collaborate with multiple guest authors to write poetry and short stories, as well as work together on comics and visual art. At the end of the program, the students’ work will be published in a printed magazine that will be available at each library in Lancaster County.

The meetings in June will feature guest author Jared Reck of Hanover. Reck teaches eighth-grade language arts and has written young adult novels such as “Donuts and Other Proclamations of Love” and “A Short History

of the Girl Next Door.” In July, the meetings will be hosted by Kayla Miller, an author and illustrator based in New York. Miller wrote and illustrated the graphic novel series “Click” and co-authored its spin-off series, “Besties.” The August meetings will feature Kwame Ivery, an English teacher and author based in New Jersey. Ivery released his first young adult novel, titled “The Problem With the Other Side,” in 2021 and has worked on various screenplays.

During the first meeting of each month, the guest authors will give a presentation to students and offer insight on their respective careers. After the presentation, the author will provide students with a creative prompt and spend the remainder of the meeting helping them write, draw or make comics based on the prompt. For the second meeting of the month, the guest authors will

return to host a workshop and share their creative methods as the kids develop their own material.

“The guest authors will share their own work with students and ask for feedback. It’s a cool aspect to the program because these kids are the authors’ main audience and they want to know what they’re thinking,” said Lindsay Bandy, the program’s supervisor. “I work with the guest author for

constructive feedback strategies, and they work with the students to make each other’s work better.” Bandy is also a published author who writes young adult historical fiction.

The Teen SummerZine program was introduced in 2021 as a way to creatively engage students over the summer while they are not in school. The program won the Best Practices Award from the Pennsylvania State Library Association and was held virtually for its first two years. This is the first year that the program will have

in-person meetings and workshops for students. “We didn’t have any county-wide teen programs for the summer; many programs are only tailored to younger kids,” Bandy said. “We wanted to do something to reach the older kids and help them to be creative over the summer break.” In December, the program’s participants will gather at the Manheim Township Public Library to celebrate the publication with cupcakes.
