Making the Market Work
Factory Food Pantry Needs Volunteers
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Kerri Burns, market director with The Factory Market, is well acquainted with the experience of being a volunteer at the food pantry. Several years ago, when her son turned 13, she was looking for a summer volunteer opportunity that they could participate in together. “I wanted to do something intentional,” recalled Burns, who volunteered to help with market appointments for two hours a week. “He loved it, and I loved it too,” she stated.
Burns has now been running the market for more than five years. She believes in the market, which exists to support individuals and families in the community

When Lighthouse Vocational Services (LVS) began in 1975, it had more founders than participants.
Then called Lighthouse Rehabilitation Center, the organization was envisioned by Norman Hahn, Melvin Martin, John Sensenig, and Ben Weaver, who sought to create a place where individuals with disabilities could grow, connect, and gain a sense of accomplishment.
On July 25, LVS, now located at 144 Orlan Road, New Holland, celebrated 50 years of service to its
participants. The event, which was given the theme “Created to Shine,” included a number of speakers, a legacy ribbon-cutting ceremony, and tours of the facility.
Liz Ackerman, executive director of the Northern Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce, served as master of ceremonies for the event. “Today marks a significant milestone not only for Lighthouse but also for the community,” said Ackerman, who noted that an organization that has done such important work and faced and overcome adversity over the
facing food insecurity. “It’s more than a food pantry,” she stated. “It’s a place where people are met with dignity, choice, and care. Our goal is to not only provide food but to build relationships and community in the process.”
One of the ways the market does that is through the Factory Bucks empowerment system. “When you show up the first time (for food), you can shop, no questions asked,” explained Burns. “After that, you need to get connected, so you need to meet with your advocate or attend one of our programs, such as cooking, finance, or a flower class.” Burns explained that participants receive Factory Bucks for each of those actions, among others. “Then, you make an appointment and shop here using Factory Bucks,”

Swiss Cheese and Local History
Submitted by Brett Snyder, Historical Society of Salisbury Township In 1932, during the Depression, a group of 64 Amish residents of Lancaster County got together in Gordonville to discuss a mutual problem: the low prices they were getting for their milk - just 60 cents for 100 pounds. Their solution? Make Swiss cheese! Forming a co-op, they obtained ground; erected a bespoke building in Gordonville; and imported a Swiss cheesemaker, Carl Laderach, to manage the operation.
The Lancaster County Swiss Cheese Company was a success and was soon making five 160-pound cheeses daily, netting $1.35 per hundred pounds of milk. By 1939, business had increased 300%, producing 30,000 pounds of cheese and 5,000 pounds of high-grade creamery butter weekly. Incidentally, the factory they built exists today as the home of Phillips Lancaster County Cheese Company.
In 1937, Laderach designed a Swiss chalet to be built on the north side of Route 30 in Kinzers between White Chimneys and Rough & Tumble. Built
on land that was once part of W.U. Hensel’s summer estate, the chalet’s purpose was to be the retail outlet for Lancaster County Swiss Cheese. It offered “a lunchroom, retailing of gasoline, oil and cheese.”
The building became a local landmark. In 1945, Laderach registered the name, Laderach’s Cheese House.
Another building of note in the area was the home of William Uhler Hensel, who was a Pennsylvania State Attorney General from 1891 to 1895; lawyer, co-owner and newspaper editor of the Lancaster Intelligencer; and local historian and author of several historical volumes, including one on the Christiana Riot of 1851.
The Gap VFW purchased the property in 1950; its current building was constructed after Bleak House was torn down in 1962. Back across the highway, another Swiss cheesemaker, Arthur Lengacher, and his wife, Martha, took over the Laderach’s cheesemaking operations in 1955. Expanding the building on both ends, the family moved into an apartment over the shop of the newly christened Lengacher’s Cheese House. In 1966, they built a separate home for themselves next door.
Meanwhile, Laderach opened Roamer’s Retreat Campground on the western portion of the property in 1963. In 1966, the Lengachers officially purchased the cheese operation portion of the property from Laderach. After 41 years of operation,
His 24-room mansion was built in 1879 by the prior owner, a dentist from St. Louis. Hensel named the gothic structure Bleak House, and it would become the location of legendary annual parties, with distinguished guests arriving on Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) trains on a special PRR spur line extended to his home and on the Conestoga Traction Company (CTC) trolley that stopped in front of his home. Greatly respected, Hensel’s 1915 Lancaster funeral was attended by four Pennsylvania governors, the entire state Supreme Court and the complete faculty of Franklin & Marshall College.

The Factory Market
explained Burns, who added that clients make 20-minute appointments during which they may choose 30 Factory Bucks worth of food and 5 Bucks of nonfood items.
“Many things are free,” she added, noting that staples, such as milk, and perishables, like baked goods, are often among those items for which there is no charge.
To keep the market humming, Burns depends on volunteer power. “We truly couldn’t operate without our volunteers,” she shared. “They are the heart and hands of everything we do, from stocking shelves to picking up donations to helping guests shop to offering a listening ear.” Burns noted that volunteers are often the face of the ministry. “Each person who gives
their time helps to make The Factory Market a welcoming and dignified space,” she noted, adding that volunteers impact a client’s experience. “The volunteers get to know the shoppers,” she pointed out. “They learn their names, remember their stories, and offer a warm welcome.” She pointed out that volunteers often earn the trust of clients they see each week. “That kind of connect is just as important as the food we provide,” she stated. “It’s what transforms the market from a service to a community.”
Marie Glass, a longtime Factory volunteer, loves the atmosphere at the market. “I volunteer because it’s such a great place to work,” she said, noting that her time helping shoppers is especially rewarding. “I enjoy helping people put meals together and seeing them being able to make choices,” she said.
Hilda Zook, who often volunteers alongside Glass, said that she became involved after helping to pack and distribute school lunches when

COVID-19 restrictions were in place. She found that she especially enjoyed working with the other volunteers. “This was a really good opportunity to be involved,” she said. Burns noted that most market workers are retired and that the seniors bring “wisdom, compassion, and consistency” to the job. She added that she also loves having younger volunteers, including students and parents with flexible schedules that allow them to give an hour or two a week. Burns is willing to work with potential volunteers to find work that they are comfortable with. She noted that there are a number of ways to volunteer, including stocking shelves behind the scenes or picking up donations, as well as interacting with clients. Burns is looking for a few volunteers to fulfill specific jobs, including a person to travel to New Holland Mennonite Church each Wednesday morning to pick up 10 to 30 pounds of packaged produce from the
Sprouts for Peace Garden. She is also in need of substitute drivers, shelf stockers, and volunteers to help with market appointments. During the summer, when many people take vacation, Burns relies on substitutes. “The way it works is I call or text, and if it works, great,” she stated. “If not, I move to the next person.” Burns added that most drivers who pick up from donors travel to Gap or Strasburg. Burns pointed out that volunteers help The Factory Ministries to make its own bucks go further. “We have logged 1,500 volunteer hours since September 2024,” said Burns. “That has saved The Factory more than $46,000.”
Readers who would like to volunteer at The Factory Market may email kerri@ thefactoryministries.com or call 717-687-9594. Burns is also happy to give tours. “Stop in and learn more,” she stated. Information about The Factory Ministries may be found at https://the factoryministries.com.

Church Announces Annual Peach Fest
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Looking ahead to this year’s Peach Fest, organizer Betty Ferstler noted that there is a feeling of familiarity in the traditions associated with the event. “We do the same things (each year),” commented Ferstler. “It’s comfortable (because) people know what they will find. They stop in to shop and say ‚ÄòHi’ to friends.”
The 26th annual Cedar Grove Presbyterian Church Peach Fest will be held on Saturday, Aug. 16, at the church, located at the corner of routes 322 and 897 in East Earl. The fest will run from 7:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., and it will feature a flea market, book sale, activities for children, silent auction, and bake sale, along with food items for purchase.
The Peach Fest menu offers a variety of foods, but there is an emphasis on peaches, with peach-flavored items available for purchase throughout the day. Breakfast items will include pancakes with or without peach topping and whipped cream, sausages, and sausage and egg casserole. Lunch will feature
hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs with or without sauerkraut, and pulled pork sandwiches. Sliced peaches with or without whipped cream or ice cream will be on the dessert menu.
A variety of baked good items will also be available for purchase for dessert. Coffee and other beverages will be sold by donation.
As in the past, free children’s activities will be part of the day. Children are invited inside the church library to take part. This year, free face painting, free ice cream, and free children’s books will be available.
A baked goods table will include homemade peach pies, as well as a variety of other pies, cakes, brownies, cookies, whoopie pies, and
other baked treats.
As in the past, church members will bake fresh peach pies to be sold. This year, members will gather at the church on Friday, Aug. 15, to do the baking. Peach pies may also be preordered prior to Sunday, Aug. 10, by calling the church at 717-354-5573. Preordered pies may be picked up during the event. The homemade pies are a tradition of the fest that has proven popular among area residents. Church pastor Krisana Poontajak confirmed that one person orders about a dozen pies each year and has done so for several years.
Church members have collected a number of used books to sell. “We have a wonderful variety of books
at super reasonable prices,” said Ferstler, who added that coffee table books, history books, and books related to specific wars will be part of the mix. In addition to books, church members have gathered yard sale items that can be purchased by donation. “We call it the pay-what-you-want table,” said Ferstler. A table of costume jewelry will be set up for sale, as will a display of craft items made by members of the congregation. Organizer Barbara Zook said that inside and outdoor flea market vendors will be on-site. According to Zook, flea market spaces will be available for rent on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals who have questions or are interested in reserving a vendor space may call 717-368-1769.

“It’s really something we’ve seen more of in this next generation,” said Jeff Rutt, who founded HOPE International in 1997. “People want to know the why. What’s the longterm impact of what we’re doing? I think it’s good that we live out what we believe. If we’re going to go golfing, let’s do it for a cause. We want people to be emotionally invested.”
Individuals who participate in HOPE International’s 25th annual golf outing
will become unofficial partners in the organization’s fight against world poverty through Christ-centered financial services. This year’s fundraising golf outing will be conducted on Friday, Sept. 12, at two venues.
Shotgun starts at 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. will tee off the philanthropic activities at Iron Valley Golf Club, 201 Iron Valley Drive, Lebanon, and an 8 a.m. tee time will get things underway at Wyncote Golf Club, 50 Wyncote Drive, Oxford. The day will include cart use, prizes, fellowship and information about HOPE International’s mission.
Registration for players and sponsors is open until Monday, Sept. 1, at https:// .engage.hopeinternational .org/event/25th-annual -golf-tournament/ e688465.
“I’m not a golfer, but I like to connect with people,” said Rutt. “It’s a great way to get out, have fun and share our mission with people. It’s not really about the golf. We’re looking to impact lives, and enjoying golf is part of the process.”
more than $8 million and impacted 3.3 million individuals through discipleship; agriculture; housing; training; and small, low-interest loans.
Headquartered at 227 Granite Run Drive, Lancaster, HOPE International offers its services to people in 30 countries. Since 2006, HOPE International has been rated as one of the top nonprofits in the country by the independent watchdog agency Charity Navigator.
More than 300 players are expected to participate in the HOPE International golf outing - individuals from surrounding communities; team members from local businesses; and representatives of sponsors from Lancaster County, York County, Chester County and northern Maryland.
“(The participants are) very similar to the makeup of a HOPE International donor or partner,” said Rutt, a resident of Strasburg who also founded Keystone Custom Homes. “Many of (the golfers) have received a break along the way. They can relate to what we do at HOPE International. That’s really what we’re doing, giving people a break.”
Organizers of the HOPE International golf outing are hoping to raise $1.4 million, a sum that would financially impact nearly 35,000 families in financially challenged spots around the world. Over the course of its existence, the golf outing has raised
“The best part of it for me is being able to share with the participants and sponsors the numbers of people we’ve been able to impact and their stories,” said Rutt. “For me, it’s about that long-term impact. Now, it’s even more important than ever. There have been cuts, and the places where we do work have been impacted. We need to be looking for the need. We’re focused on the greatest needs. We want to administer to the outcasts. We want to restore dignity in their lives.”
HOPE International, whose work is supported by a total of 68 Lancaster County staff members, originally resulted from a mission trip to Ukraine made by Rutt through his work at Calvary Monument Bible Church in Paradise. The nonprofit mission was bolstered by the hiring of Peter Greer as the organization’s president and CEO in 2004.
“I believe giving back is so important for so many reasons,” said Rutt. “I believe in a lot of ways, each of us has been given so much. All of us have been born with some innate ability to give back. Here in the west, we have so much, and we’re focused so much on comfort, which leads to complexity, which leads to complacency. It’s hard to be grumpy when you’re generous. The Bible talks about those who have been given so much have responsibilities. There’s true happiness that comes from generosity.”
Herb Appeal
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Less than a year after attending her first Conestoga Herb Guild event, Sophia Harmes will be the featured speaker at a group meeting.
The Mountville resident will give a presentation on Harvesting and Drying Herbs at the guild’s get-together on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Millersville VFW, 219 Walnut Hill Road.
Harmes noted that the topic of her talk will serve as an introductory class for less-experienced herb enthusiasts.
“If you like using herbs in cooking, this would be a good way to be introduced to how you can plant your own herbs and harvest them and prepare them for
storage,” she said. Harmes wasn’t that familiar with the organization before last summer. “I attended one of (the Conestoga Herb Guild’s) herb fests (last) September, and I was really impressed with the whole operation,” she said. “I joined, and I came back the next month.”
When an opening arose, Harmes jumped at the opportunity to speak about drying and harvesting herbs at the group’s August meeting. “I had heard at the last Herb Guild festival that a lot of the members didn’t know how to do things like that or needed a refresher course,” she said. “So I thought that would be a good topic.”
Harmes will address some of the nuances of cultivating herbs. “There
are different ways that you can harvest herbs,” she said. “There are different times a day that are more important for beneficial reasons. There are different methods in drying the herbs. Some are better than others, so I’ll be talking about the different methods that you can use to dry herbs and what you should be looking for to make sure that your herbs are dried when they’re dry,” she said with a laugh.
Harmes said she has gained knowledge about herbs from her many years of growing them at home.
“I grow a lot of culinary herbs, and I’ve started getting into more medicinal herbs and more medicinal plants,” she said. “I have

years, while continuing to be guided by Christian principles, deserves to be celebrated. “As you experience what Lighthouse is for those it serves - not only the participants, but the parents, the families, and the business community - you will see that Lighthouse truly is a gem within our community,” Ackerman stated.
Ackerman introduced Landis Zimmerman, president of the LVS board of directors, calling him a “true servant leader.”
Zimmerman then offered the invocation, beginning by quoting Matthew 5:16. “Our theme for this is Shine … ‘Let your light so shine before men that they might see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.’” Zimmerman credited God with bringing LVS to this milestone. “(God) has provided good leadership and dedicated staff,” said Zimmerman. “Thank You for wisdom and guidance to provide individuals with places to work and play that they might be all that You want them to be.”

tion from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. He also noted that the work of LVS is exemplary of the many blessings of eastern Lancaster County. “This is just one of the ministries with which God has blessed this area,” he said. Greiner pointed out that the programs of LVS now have more than 100 staff members serving about 250 individuals, helping them to “know the fulfillment of accomplishment and prepare for lasting employment.” “These programs are designed to enhance quality of life for all,” he said.
Stephen Ranck, who represented congressman Lloyd Smucker at the celebration, brought a citation for the congressional record from the U.S. House of Representatives. He noted that LVS’ attributes of “selflessness and hospitality represents what makes Pennsylvania’s 11th district so great,” and he wished LVS another 50 years of success.
When it was time to introduce LVS executive director Gary McMullen, Ackerman described how McMullen took action to be sure the decor for the event did not break the budget. “He shared this morning that they wanted to have lots of flowers around the stage,” stated Ackerman, who went
Peach Fest
on to explain that McMullen planted and tended to the many coleus plants that loaned their beauty to the venue. McMullen, who has helmed the ministry for about a year, gave credit to LVS staff members whom he said provide “customer care and leadership to facilitate growth to people with disabilities.” “Our team members are experts in supporting employment goals and presenting real work opportunities for our participants,” he said. In discussing the LVS mission, McMullen turned to Esther 4:14, sharing the words of Mordecai to his niece, “Who knows but you have come to this royal position for such a time as this?” he read, adding, “Esther was strategically placed to have influence on King Xerxes. She responded, and the Jewish nation was spared.” McMullen likened Esther’s actions to the founders of LVS and the growth of the organization over the last five decades, noting that LVS participants work not only in the Orlan Road building, but also for more than 30 area nonprofits and in more than 200 businesses with which LVS collaborates. “We have much to celebrate,” he said.
Lydia Messner represented the office of Pennsylvania state Sen. Scott
Martin. She noted that the senator “has a heart for this community, especially those with disabilities.” She read from a citation that lauded LVS’ “strong reputation for the highest quality of service throughout its history and steady adherence to the principles of fairness, reliability, and integrity.”
Marshall Miller, communications director for state Sen. James Malone, spoke as well, noting that Malone has two adult children with autism. “(Malone) knows capstone moments like this are exciting, but (also that) it takes a lot of day-in-andout care and love to give the necessary support, and he appreciates the work you do,” stated Miller.
One highlight of the celebration was when Lisa Landis, known as the host of WJTL’s “Kid’s Cookie Break” show, interviewed her nephew JJ Ator, who is an LVS participant. Explaining that she and JJ speak on the phone daily, she asked Ator about his favorite things, including his favorite food, meatballs; favorite video game, Mario Kart; and what he likes about work. Attendees learned that JJ does not like fire alarms but enjoys taking the blue bus to LVS, and that he signed the weather as part of the television production team at Conestoga Valley High School while a student there. JJ demonstrated signs for the sunny weather on the day of the event and the rain expected later in the day. He was then called upon to work with McMullen to cut the legacy ribbon while surrounded by other speakers and staff members from LVS.

Lancaster Company Offers Rebates to Flood Victims
Lancaster-based U.S. Boiler Company has introduced a rebate program to help victims of flood damage throughout Lancaster County.
The recent severe weather events experienced in the Lancaster area damaged many heating systems. From now through Tuesday, Sept. 30, U.S. Boiler Company is offering a special tiered rebate program for residents whose boilers were damaged by floods.
Homeowners who purchase a new cast-iron gas-fired boiler are eligible for a $300 rebate. Those who purchase a cast-iron oil-fired boiler are eligible
