BA supportive environment
ASIS stands for Brothers And Sisters In Support.
The ministry, which serves bereaved parents and grandparents, holds a number of area support groups, but once a year a special breakfast is held to give participants from around Lancaster County and others in the surrounding area who have experienced the loss of a child a chance to meet in a supportive environment.
The 2025 BASIS Breakfast will be held at Yoder’s Restaurant & Buffet, 14 S. Tower Road, New Holland, on Saturday, April 26, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The buffet breakfast is free to attend. A freewill offering will be received near the end of the event. Those wishing to attend the breakfast must register by Monday, April 21, at www .hvmi.org/upcoming-events/ basis-breakfast.
This year’s speaker will be
Lynn Eib, whose talk is titled “The Truth About Grief.” Eib’s life as an award-winning reporter was interrupted by a cancer diagnosis in 1990 when she was only 36 years old. Her experience with surgery and chemotherapy inspired her to follow God’s call to begin the Cancer Prayer Support Group in 1991. The purpose of the group, now believed to be the country’s oldest faith-based organization of its kind, was to help grievers experience the closeness of the Lord to the brokenhearted. In April of 1996, Eib became a patient advocate for her oncologist, ministering to his patients for nearly 10 years. Eib calls herself a “passionate encourager, but always a truthteller.” Eib is also the author of several books. Her first book, “When God & Cancer Meet,” has been published in three languages and sold more than 100,000 copies. Eib lives near Philadelphia with her husband, Ralph, who is a pastor.

A place for seniors
BY ANN MEAD ASH





















Long before there was a Terre Hill Area Senior Connections group, there was a group of members of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church (UMC), 105 W. Main St., Terre Hill, who read
book called “Dream
Led by pastor Dave Kling, the Dream Team, as the group came to be known, began musing about what the congregation could offer to the ELANCO area. “We started talking about this in June of 2023,” recalled Kling, who noted originally the process was supposed to take 15 months.




“We prayed about it,” added Dream Team member Joyce Snader. Snader and Kling noted that talking to representatives of area businesses and community stakeholders, including the mayor and the district justice, was among the group’s efforts.

Beth Coblentz (standing) directs activities at Terre Hill Area Senior Connections on Mondays and Thursdays.




“We did all sorts of surveys,” stated Kling. “The idea was to see what the needs in the community were, and what we discovered is there were no services for seniors.” The group learned that there was a senior center in Lititz, but none in ELANCO or Conestoga Valley. Both Kling and Snader credited Dream Team member Michael Nutter with suggesting that a senior center might be the best way to serve the community.
St. Patrick’s Day, or topics such as birds. Coblentz has had representatives of local organizations such as Fivepointville Ambulance speak on relevant issues. A Medicare seminar has been held, along with a visit from Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, and a talk by a representative from Phoenix Assistance Dogs. Crafts are also popular. “Bingo has been a big hit,” said Coblentz, who
noted that DJ Matt Cleveland from Occasions Disc Jockeys has visited to call a musical version of the game. “We will have cooking on a quarterly basis,” noted Coblentz, who has also scheduled activities such as a talk on maple sugaring, a visit from Visiting Angels, ELANCO Library trivia, and chair exercises. Coblentz has also been in touch with CrossNet Ministries and the Northeastern
See Seniors pg 8








After Beth Coblentz signed on as director of the center, the outreach opened in the church fellowship hall on Jan. 13. Currently, the center, which is affiliated with and funded by St. Paul’s UMC, is open each Monday and Thursday from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Independent area seniors age 60 and over who are capable of selfcare, are welcome to attend at no charge. Attendees are asked to complete a registration form and sign waivers. “I did an activity survey to find out what they’re interested in,” said Coblentz, who asks new attendees to complete that form. “We want activities they want.” The center follows the ELANCO School District weather schedule, so if school is delayed or closed, the center does not open. The center does not provide transportation.
Coblentz said that the dozen or more attendees, some of which come from as far away as Morgantown, start each morning at the center with coffee and conversation. Coblentz plans a variety of activities for the attendees, often based around seasonal themes, such as Valentine’s Day or

A unique place to earn a merit badge
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
It is a historic setting to meet merit badge requirements.
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will hold on-site railroading merit badge workshops from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, March 29, April 26, May 17, June 21 and Aug. 23.
For more information or to register, go to www .rrmuseumpa.org and click on “Events” under the “Events & Programs” tab.

The workshops are for boys and girls ages 11 through 17 who are involved in Scouting, so they can learn by working with historic artifacts and model trains. Scouts who complete the program earn an official railroading merit badge.

“We are told (the railroading merit badge) is a specialized merit badge to offer, so I think that adds to the draw this museum has,” said museum educator Jesse Shetrom. “It’s just a cool venue for it.”
Museum educator




Juliette O’Connor said the on-site workshops regularly attract Scouts from as far away as New York. One family took a flight from Florida just to attend the workshop, then immediately boarded another for a trip back home, she said.
The workshops are made up of four activities, two in the morning and two more in the afternoon. Scouts are able to study G-scale model railroad demonstrations. G-scale is a track gauge for model railways that is large and durable so that it can be used outdoors.
“That’s one of the unique things we have here,” Shetrom said. Attendees then study equipment at the museum. In the afternoon, Scouts spend time in a classroom and then study railway safety. Shetrom and O’Connor are both trained through Operation Lifesaver in order to be instructors of the safety program.
The museum also has a Solari board, or “clickety-clack sign,” as O’Connor describes it. A Solari board lists arrivals and departures, showing numbers and letters on rotating flaps. The museum’s Solari board no longer moves, but there is a virtual representation of a Solari board.
“We have unique ways that we can fulfill this merit badge,” O’Connor said. “We do have a world-class collection here that the Scouts

get to view behind-thescenes equipment tours of.”
Shetrom added, “We have all the freight cars and passenger cars kids need for the requirements. ... They can do everything in one day, and it’s hands-on. They get to interact with all this history as opposed to it being described in a sterile classroom setting.”
A unique Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania “Railroading Merit Badge” patch is an extra reward for participants who complete the workshop at the museum.
“It’s a lot of fun, but we couldn’t do it without our volunteers,” Shetrom said.
Scouts must always be accompanied by an adult.
There is a fee for the workshops, which are capped at 25 Scouts each and are filled on a first-come, firstserved basis.
On-site and virtual railroading merit badge workshops for the remainder of the year will be scheduled and announced later. Virtual workshops are also popular; O’Connor said a Scout from South Korea participated.
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania has a collection of about 100 historic locomotives and railroad cars, a vast research library and archives, a working restoration shop, an immersive education center and programs, a museum store and special events and exhibits.

In her position, Coblentz is looking to grow the center in ways participants will enjoy. “As a program director, my role is to ensure their safety and well-being and to plan and organize and supervise a variety of activities,” she said. “I’m making it their center, and everyone who has come so far has been thrilled.”
Snader noted that the group is aptly named. “It’s the connections (that are most important),” she shared, adding that the hour of talk and a
cold breakfast is one of her favorite times. She noted that lots of games, such as checkers and dominos, are available to play.
“We hope to do outside things when weather improves,” said Coblentz, noting that the center is open year-round. Kling added that he hopes the attendance numbers will rise when seniors can travel without concerns about the weather.

Eib’s book “When God & Grief Meet: True Stories of Comfort & Courage,” published in 2021, was given to Dan Steinman, BASIS director, by a fellow church member following the 2024 breakfast. Steinman quickly recognized how the content reflected the BASIS support group material. “I prayed about it,” recalled Steinman, who noted that the woman who gave him the book recommended Eib as an “excellent speaker.” “I trusted her judgment,” shared Steinman, who scheduled Eib for this year’s banquet.
Each year, a Wall of Remembrance, which was originally a portable photo display featuring pictures of the children who have died, is available at the breakfast. Last year, the photos from the wall were shown on a screen, but this year Steinman hopes the wall will be available to attendees in a

Roth said that the theme for this year’s camps is “Glory,” based on II Corinthians 3:18. The faithbased curriculum will focus on the question “What are you chasing?” by examining the quest for individual glory versus reflecting God’s glory. In addition to baseball and track and field, the New Holland camp will offer basketball, field hockey, flag football, lacrosse, and soccer. Roth and Martin are the camp directors. The Manheim camp, which is directed by Johnson, will offer baseball, basketball, field hockey, soccer, volleyball, and wrestling, in addition to lacrosse.
Camps begin at 9 a.m. each day and run until 3:30 p.m. Lunch is provided. Each day has a different dress-up theme. Although the themes for this year’s camps have not been chosen, Roth noted that Wacky Wednesday is always a favorite. Each day begins with worship featuring a worship band and a speaker, usually a local pastor, who speaks on the camp theme. “The speaker at the New Holland camp will be Petra pastor Brian Coles,” reported Martin. The campers enjoy some Dance Dance Revolution time before heading outside for up to 90 minutes of skill work in their chosen sport. Following lunch,

a testimony is given by a high school student or college intern. Afterward, campers practice and have more huddle time before taking part in a group competition, enjoying a snack, and joining in a closing assembly.
Volunteer coaches who work with the children are often high school, college, or club coaches, and many serve for both weeks. Interns assist the directors and coaches. According to Roth, interns who have helped out at camp previously “know the drill,” so they will be given more leadership responsibility. “They will lead debrief time at the end of each day and be in charge of group competitions and games,” explained Martin. Huddles, groups of five to seven students, are overseen by a huddle leader. Huddle leaders are high school students who lead, guide, and encourage campers. About 50 huddle leaders
are needed for a camp of 120 to 150 students, which is the number expected at both camps this year.
Student participants are also given the chance to take part in Coins for Campers, a competition between boys and girls to raise funds for similar camps in the Philippines and Myanmar. Martin stated that in 2024, the goal was to raise $5,000 for the other camps and that the goal was surpassed. There is a cost to attend camps. A sibling discount is applied when more than one child from a family attends. Some financial assistance is available. Readers who wish to register a child for camp may visit www.lancasterfca.org/ camps. Questions about financial assistance may be emailed to droth@fca.org. Specific questions about the Manheim camp may be sent to emilyjohnson @fca.org.
Sierra Club seeking grant proposals
The Sierra Club - Lancaster Group will accept proposals for the next round of its “green project” grants through Monday, March 31. Any Lancaster County 501(c) (3) organization with a project that promotes sustainability, expands environmental awareness and improves green infrastructure is eligible to apply for a grant.
The program annually awards grants of up to $500 to charitable, educational or business 501(c)(3) groups that demonstrate a commitment to the Sierra Club’s mission of “exploring, enjoying and protecting
the planet” in Lancaster County. When applying for a grant, organizations should consider how their projects relate to an ecological preservation or educational effort. Projects may focus on topics such as storm water management, rain gardens and rain barrels; native plantings; pollinator plants; organic gardens; composting programs; or hands-on learning. The Lancaster Group will offer its expertise and labor to support the projects that are awarded grants. Ninety-five organizations have been awarded grants over the past nine years.
Penn State Extension sets walking program
Penn State Extension will offer a virtual, statewide walking program called Everybody Walk Across Pennsylvania from Monday, April 7, through Monday, June 2.
The program is aimed at harnessing social support to help people achieve healthy lifestyle goals. Participants may walk individually or with family members, friends, co-workers or their dogs in teams of up to five. Each individual or team member will aim to walk 10 miles a week or exercise an equivalent amount.
Participants can walk at a time and place convenient for them, such as a park, neighborhood, or yard. Weekly emails sent to participants will seek to motivate people to keep walking as well as provide strategies for eating healthy.
Organizers noted that physical activity and healthy eating habits are critical to long-term health. Moderate exer -

cise such as walking can reduce stress and fatigue and sharpen mental alertness. Exercise improves cardiovascular functioning and strengthens bones. Combined with healthy eating, walking can help people reduce or maintain body weight and decrease the incidence of several chronic diseases.
The program is not competitive and is intended to help participants improve their own physical activity levels.
Participation is free, but the deadline for registration is Tuesday, April 1. More information is available by visiting https:// extension.psu.edu/every sbody-walk-across-pa or calling 877-345-0691.

To apply, visit http:// lancastersierraclub.org/ grant-program/.
Winners will be announced on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, and soon after, a list of the awardees will be posted at www.lancastersierra club.org.

Derby hat to win a prize,” Pilot Club president Kelly Osborne said.
All proceeds will benefit the organization’s community service projects, said Osborne.
The Pilot Club was chartered in Lancaster in 1947. “We are a nonprofit community service club,” Osborne said. “We’re similar to the Rotary Club or the Lions Club. Our motto is ‘Friendship and Service.’”
The group launched the local Meals on Wheels program in 1967. Meals on Wheels grew to become a separate nonprofit, but the Pilot Club still makes monetary donations, and some members volunteer to deliver meals.
All men and women are welcome to join the Pilot Club. The Lancaster chapter’s membership currently consists of 37 women.
The Pilot Club meets at 5:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at Lancaster Tennis & Yacht Club, 2615 Columbia Ave., Lancaster. Guests are welcome to attend to see how the club operates, Osborne said.
The Pilot Club’s signature community service initiative is Project Lifesaver of
Lancaster County, a group near and dear to Osborne. Project Lifesaver is a search-and-rescue program for people who wander away from home due to a cognitive issue such as dementia or autism, Osborne said.
West Hempfield Police Department was the first department to embrace the program when it began in 2012. Since then, Project Lifesaver has added 22 police departments as full or associate members to become a countywide organization that includes Lancaster County Emergency Management Agency (LEMA) and Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Troop J Lancaster.
Osborne, who retired from her job as a state trooper in January of 2023, had never heard of Project Lifesaver until 2019. Her father, Courtney, who had dementia, wandered away from an assisted living facility in Lancaster Township in October of 2019 and was found dead.
Serendipitously, days earlier, a sheriff from New Jersey had called Osborne to notify the PSP a Project Lifesaver client was visiting Lancaster County. When Osborne returned the mes-

sage, she said she got chills.
“I knew right then and there it was my mission to search for information on Project Lifesaver and bring it to Troop J Lancaster as a tribute to my dad,” she said.
Osborne connected with the Pilot Club in 2019, joined two years later, and is now finishing the first year of a two-year term as the group’s president. She acquired funding and cut through red tape to bring Project Lifesaver to Troop J.

The Pilot Club helps fund the purchase of equipment and training of police officers and handles client enrollment and battery maintenance.
LEMA and police agencies maintain search-and-rescue equipment, keep officers proficient with the training, and do the search-and-rescue missions when needed.
“We count on this money to continue to fund Project Lifesaver of Lancaster County to purchase transmitters and equipment for our police departments,” Osborne said.
Here’s how Project Lifesaver works: Families who have loved ones with a cognitive condition and fear that person could get lost may contact Cathy
The Pilot Club fits clients with a transmitter on either an ankle or a wrist. There is a specific frequency assigned to each transmitter. Should the client go missing, the caregiver is instructed to call 911, and then trained personnel go out with a receiver in search of the missing person. “It’s archaic technology but tried and true,” Osborne said. She added that Project Lifesaver has reduced search-and-rescue time from an average of about nine hours to an average of 30 minutes or less.
There is a cost associated with each transmitter and the equipment that goes with it, but the Pilot Club provides scholarship opportunities for those in need so that no one is turned away.
