Youth Ministries’ youth group are the Souper Bowl champions.
They have a trophy as proof.
Solid Rock collected 234 pounds of food and supplies for Solanco Neighborhood Ministries (SNM) to win the annual competition.
Competition coordinator Melissa Herr said that SNM holds the Souper Bowl challenge around the time of the NFL’s championship game. “It was originally developed as a friendly competition between local businesses. It is growing to include kids and youth,” she explained.
“This year, through SNM, I tweaked the program to make it a challenge between local youth groups. I did a presentation on the needs in the community and
challenged the youth to help and have fun doing it.”
The youth groups from Solid Rock, New Providence Church of God, Encounter Church, and Wesley Church combined to collect 590 pounds of food and supplies for SNM to give to its clients. Herr said she hopes to get more youth groups involved in the future.
Naturally, soup is the sought-after item, but SNM happily accepted other foods. The youth groups packaged the goods in boxes based on whether they were rooting for the Eagles or Chiefs to win the NFL’s big game.
The Eagles claimed the SNM competition as well as the NFL’s championship.
Herr said the food drive’s MVPs were brothers Brandon and Ethan Haverstick, who both used their birthdays to collect

SkillsUSA is not “just a club” to members of the Willow Street chapter.
Several students who attend the Willow Street campus of Lancaster County Career & Technology Center (LCCTC) believe the organization offers a chance to be part of something special.
“SkillsUSA is the No. 1 workforce development organization for students,” explained Airamis Condé, a patient care technician student from Conestoga Valley,
who is one of the chapter’s five officers. “(It) empowers students to become skilled professionals and career-ready leaders. SkillsUSA encourages students to step out of their comfort zone, have fun, and be themselves.”
Natalie Yang, a medical assistant student from Garden Spot, said the group has organized 25 Thanksgiving dinners for families in need, provided a holiday meal for LCCTC students and faculty, and sponsored a hat and mitten tree with the clothes collected donated to Water Street Mission.

The 29th annual LancasterLebanon IU13 Education Conference will be held Thursday, June 12, at Conestoga Valley High School, 2110 Horseshoe Road, Lancaster.
“We want people to be aware of what we offer, but we also want to give them evidence-based practices to use with students,” said Chanda Telleen, who is an associate program director and supervisor of the training
IU13. “People are coming to our conference as a way to enhance their professional learning. We have presenters from our partner PaTTAN (Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network). We have presenters from institutes of higher education. We have practitioners presenting. We try to expose our audience to the latest evidence-based practices to support our students.”
Registration and a continental breakfast will run from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m., followed by a welcome

“SkillsUSA is important because as a student who has been in multiple clubs before, SkillsUSA has been the most beneficial for me,” said Ky Logan, who is a veterinary assistant student from Elizabethtown. “It has helped me grow socially and build connections with others who have fields of studies in different areas or the same interests as me. There are also many different opportunities for community service, which some schools require. I think it’s beneficial SkillsUSA provides that opportunity for students to be able to get those hours that they may need to meet graduation requirements.”
Ky added, “It’s not just a club for me. The competitions and community service projects we do are important.”
Sara Rager, an aspiring patient care technician from Manheim Township, stated that being part of SkillsUSA has helped her improve her grades.
“We get to come together and form something special,” said Sara. “That’s why I feel like it’s so much more than a club, as Ky said. It has helped each individual, especially me, with thriving and striving for what
I want.”
One of 21 Willow Street campus students who competed in the SkillsUSA district competition, Sara finished first in extemporaneous speaking to earn a trip to the state competition, which will be held Wednesday through Friday, April 2 to 4, in Hershey.
At districts, Sara was given five minutes to do research for her speech with the topic, “How has responsibility made you grow in SkillsUSA, and why is it important?”
“I told them about my experiences in SkillsUSA and how I work with a team,” Sara said. “In the past, I’ve had a hard time working with a team, and now, I’ve worked with a lot of intelligent minds and brilliant people, and we can come up with a lot of great ideas.”
Grace Wagner, a dental assistant student from Solanco, also finished first at districts and will compete at states.
“I’m super excited, looking forward to my state competition,” said Grace. “I’ve been working very hard, studying hard recently for that, and I’m excited to see what the outcome will be.”

Keystone Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services (KDHHS) of Lancaster teaches sign language, an important tool in bridging that communication gap. Although learning sign language can be involved and complex, it seems even the least amount of knowledge can be beneficial to the deaf and hard of hearing.
“It would be great if everyone knew sign language,” said Kandy Reyes, who’s been KDHHS’ executive director for 24 years. “That way the deaf and hard of hearing would have the same opportunities as everyone else. It would be a great world. Deaf people can’t walk into a bank without a sign language interpreter.”
Located at 2270 Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, KDHHS of Lancaster offers two sign language classes in the spring and one in the fall. The sign language See Sign pg 9

Initiative aims to improve veterans’ access to health care
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has launched a new initiative with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) to connect veterans in rural areas with telehealth and mental health resources.
The PA Turnpike posted flyers at rest areas across its more than 565-mile road system to help connect veterans to VA resources. The flyers share information about veterans’ telehealth options, the closest VA location, and the Veterans Crisis Line to empower veterans in crisis or others concerned about a veteran to access free and confiden-
tial support from trained responders 24/7, 365 days a year.
The VA selected Pennsylvania to expand the initiative due to the state’s size and rurality. The VA worked closely with the PA Turnpike to provide the information at its 17 service plazas located along the PA Turnpike that provide round-the-clock food, fuel, restrooms and other amenities.
This campaign will connect veterans with VA resources and maintain their continuity of care within the VA health care system based upon the
“Anywhere-to-Anywhere” Telehealth Practice Authority using VA Video Connect. Any transportation agency that wants to participate in this multi-state initiative may contact VA Rocky Mountain Network’s Connected Care/Telehealth Office at VISN19CCT @va.gov.

goods. Brandon asked for cake mix and balloons to be used in SNM’s birthday bags. Ethan requested cans of foods he could donate.
Solid Rock Youth Ministries’ youth director, Josh Rotz, was happy to have his students participate.
“Melissa reached out about the competition between youth groups,” he said. “We know Melissa. Melissa helps out with us and the Solanco Food Bank. We were excited about the opportunity to get our students involved and serving the community and learning how they can make an impact on other people.”
Rotz said it’s a good learning experience for the youth group. “Melissa gave a really good presentation about poverty in our area and the different needs students and families have and some of the choices they have to make based on the resources they have,” he said. “I think that really helped raise awareness in our students that they didn’t realize the extent of the needs in our community.”
Rotz encouraged students to think about what someone their age would need so they could make personal choices when
picking up items.
Solid Rock youth group members Kaecie Troop and Aaron Rowe enjoyed the chance to assist others.
“Helping people can really make a difference in the world,” Kaecie said. “It makes me upset people out there can’t have a normal life and a nice house.”
Aaron bought items and carried boxes. “It feels good helping people,” he said.
Herr was excited to get the youth groups involved and is hoping this is only the beginning.
“I have a passion for the youth,” Herr said. “I think they’re underappreciated. Now that I’m retired, I can put more time into that, and (SNM executive director Teresa Dolan) has given me her blessing. My vision is I’d like to see more youth groups and the sports teams involved. The ultimate goal is to have teams and groups mirror SNM events.”
“A lot of (students) don’t have a lot of money or don’t have transportation, but there are so many things they could do at home that (don’t) cost a lot,” said Herr. “They could pick up an item from the store, make hygiene bags for the homeless, or write cards.”

Telleen said the IU13 is thankful for support from vendors and business sponsors. The conference will also serve as a recruitment tool. “We are highlighting some students,” Telleen said.
“There are some interns who will be at our conference. This is another opportunity for us to attract young people to the field of education and specifically working with students with disabilities.” She noted the importance of interesting young people in teaching to address teacher shortages.
The IU13 supports students with disabilities from birth to graduation and beyond, Telleen said. “We work with families. We work with our 22 member districts to provide training and technical assistance and special programming for students with disabilities,” she added.
There is a wide variety of programs that offer support. “My team offers training and technical assistance,” said Telleen. “We do go out to the various districts, but we also host training or job groups here at Burle (Corporate Park) in our conference center.

Grace said she joined SkillsUSA because of the advice of her instructor Rachel Sprecher. “I had been having thoughts about doing it before, but I wasn’t too confident,” said Grace, who is considering returning to LCCTC for postsecondary education. “I decided to listen to her advice, and I decided to step out of my comfort zone. I’m very grateful that she encouraged me to do that because I feel like this (club) is going to lead to very large opportunities for my education and my future.”

Mason Houser, a diesel equipment and technology student from Lampeter-Strasburg, competed in districts. “I wanted to test my skills, how quickly I can do tasks, and to see how much I actually know,” said Mason. “I chose the CTC for the diesel program.

What to know about estate planning
Managing and planning one’s estate may sound like a task reserved for the very wealthy, but that is a common, and potentially costly, misconception. Estate planning is a necessary component of longterm financial planning no matter the size of a person’s investment portfolio.
Estate planning is an umbrella term that encompasses anything from asset allocation after death to end-of-life health care decisions to designating a power of attorney in case
an individual becomes incapacitated. Key components of an estate plan typically include wills, trusts, power of attorney, and health care directives.
A few basic steps can help people to establish an estate plan.
People should create a will - a legal document that specifies how a person’s assets will be distributed after his or her death. Although a will can be set up without an attorney, relying on an attorney to create or update a will can
Excel Roofing
ensure that it is legally sound and reflects the person’s intentions. The will can specify the estate’s executor, who will carry out the plans of the will. Without a will, local intestacy laws will dictate the distribution of the assets.
Establishing trusts is an option. Morgan Legal Group says trusts are tools that can protect assets, minimize estate taxes, and provide for beneficiaries. Trusts can be revocable or irrevocable. Special needs trusts also can be set up. Trusts can help avoid probate and reduce estate taxes. Trusts also can shield some of the assets so they cannot be counted as part of the person’s responsibility for paying for skilled nursing home admittance.
People are also advised to determine powers of attorney and health care proxies. If someone becomes inca -
pacitated, that person will need someone responsible to act on his or her behalf. A financial or legal power of attorney can help with paying bills, accessing accounts and managing finances and other needs.
A health care proxy can be listed on an advance health care directive, known as a living will. The proxy will communicate the person’s wishes indicated on the directive and see that these wishes are honored.
Knowing what is included in an estate plan can ensure that people make informed choices about their assets, beneficiaries, and financial futures. It is advisable to work with legal, medical, and tax professionals when drawing up estate plans to avoid any issues that can arise when matters are not decided ahead of time.
classes are taught once a week for eight weeks, they are designed for entry-level learners and beginners and the class size is limited to 15 participants.
“Sign language is the way deaf individuals communicate,” said Reyes. “It’s the way they hear. It’s their language. If you’re a visual learner, you may be able to pick up sign language easier. American Sign Language is just like any other language.”
“Our classes are designed for fun,” Reyes continued. “They aren’t designed for people who want to be fluent in sign
language. If you want to become a certified sign language interpreter, you could start with our program, but you would have to go into more intense programs like the ones taught in college.”
Shown to be more accurate than lip reading, sign language is based on certain hand gestures or motions. Each sign corresponds to a number, letter or word, and when those signs are put together, sentences and communication are formed.
“The first thing you’re going to do in that course is learn about deaf cul -

ture,” said Reyes. “The instructor is going to go into words, numbers and teaching you the alphabet. In Level One, you’re going to learn words, but it’s not going to qualify you to speak a whole sentence to a deaf person. So, when they’re signing back to you, are you going to understand them? Probably not.”
“Signing could be done on one hand or two,” continued Reyes. “The alphabet you can do all on one hand, and numbers you can do all on one hand. With American Sign Language, you don’t use all the words. ... You’re getting to the point. In English, you’d say, ‘The tree is over there.’ In sign language, you’d say, ‘Tree there.’”
According to numbers from a recent census, nearly 80,000 Lancaster County residents have some sort of hearing loss.
“Sign language is the key to access,” said Reyes. “But you have to know what you know. If you don’t, you’re creating even bigger barriers. That’s the problem. We support anyone and encourage everyone who wants to learn sign language. A little bit is better than nothing in certain situations.”
“Deaf and hard-ofhearing people have a language,” added Reyes. “People shouldn’t minimize that, and they should respect the deaf and hardof-hearing people and ask them how they want
“communication.”
to communicate. The majority are going to say, ‘I need an American Sign Language interpreter.’”
