Solanco
New Hope Honors Its Retired Director
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Deb Riddell was sure she didn’t want a plaque right up until the time she was presented with one.
And she’s thrilled that she wasn’t able to take it home.
Deb recently retired as executive director of the New Hope Counseling Center, and the nonprofit’s board of directors paid tribute to her at a May meeting. The plaque will be placed outside the door of New Hope’s Art Play Therapy Room. It reads, “This room is dedicated to Deb Riddell
for over 13 years of leadership & service to New Hope.”
“When I opened the plaque (from its protective covering) and saw how the board honored me, I was touched beyond measure,” she said. “I could not have wanted anything else. I didn’t realize how much it would mean to me until I opened it.”
Deb, who was a big proponent of creating a therapy room for children, officially stepped down from her position on May 23 and stayed on in a part-time role for the following two weeks to smooth the transition.
“The emotions are all different places,” she said. “This was my choice to leave, but there is still some sadness to leave New Hope, a ministry that I love. But I know it’s in good hands. It’s a change, and any time you have a change in life, there are things to work through. I work at a counseling center, so I’ve learned a lot about that.”

Future Ivy League students Madison Landis and Claire Graybeal were dancing before receiving the impactful information.
Madison will be attending Princeton in the fall, and Claire will matriculate at Cornell. Though their Ivy League ambitions were formed at different

You be the judge.
Members of the general public will decide which pieces of art win awards in the Summer Challenge: Media Wars competition, which will be held this summer at the Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA), 149 Precision Ave., Strasburg. There is no charge for admission.
Gallery director Carol Herr calls the challenge “a progressive
exhibit” because it gets bigger as the summer goes on. “Every two weeks there will be new things to see,” she said.
Summer Challenge: Media Wars will run from Sunday, June 29, to Friday, Sept. 5. The opening reception will be held June 29 from 1 to 4 p.m. Beach Day at the LCAA is scheduled for Sunday, July 13, from 1 to 4 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to wear beach attire. There will be tropical punch, cupcakes, and fruit.

a lot since I have been here,” said Deb. “We rewrote the bylaws. Now there is only one board, and there had been two boards. It now does what a board should do: strategic planning and governance.”
New Hope formulated a policy manual for the first time and brought in a counseling supervisor. “There were just a lot of foundational things that were done with the board to help New Hope, as an organization, become stronger,” she said. Deb and the board worked closely to ensure New Hope’s financial future. “New Hope is in a much
stronger place financially than we had been when I started,” Deb said. “That was something that I was very mindful of, that we be careful of our finances and get to a better place so we could be sustainable.”
There are three employees and between 30 and 40 volunteers who work at the thrift store, which is located in Townsedge Shopping Village. The counseling supervisor and four other counselors, who are contracted; the executive director; and an office coordinator work in the Wagner Building.

is I had a behind-the-scenes hand in offering an opportunity for people to become healthier emotionally,” said Deb. “That’s very important to me, that we are all healthier and more whole in any way New Hope can help. I’m thankful to be a part of that.”
On March 26, New Hope celebrated the completion of a successful fundraising effort to support the purchase and renovation of its home in the Emory D. Wagner Building, 307 Chestnut St., Quarryville.
Deb oversaw that capital campaign with help from treasurer Chris Coble and many others, and it is the most significant achievement of her tenure.
Community contributions, including a sizable gift from Emory Wagner’s son Dwight, enabled New Hope to do the renovations without having to take out a loan.
said, “Deb was pivotal in restructuring and refocusing the board when she arrived at New Hope. She was constantly learning and seeking mentorship throughout her tenure. She spearheaded our $1.1 million capital campaign, building purchase, and building renovation, and hired a lead counselor as part of the initiative to increase the professional growth, services, and reputation of our counseling center.”
Deb found the hiring process difficult and added that she won’t miss the minute details and hearing about things that go wrong. She will miss the people. “My co-workers have been such an encouragement to me,” Deb said. “I could not have done this job without the support of the board and my husband.”
“I didn’t right away think about the timing (of retiring),” Deb said. “I had always told the board I would stay until the end of the capital campaign. I became more aware that this is the time to step down. The board and I took New Hope from one place to the next, and sometimes you need somebody else to come in to help an organization grow in the next way.”

Deb and her husband, John, moved to the area 40 years ago. The couple will spend the summer attending family outings. Deb said she will now have time to “get to do those projects at home that you don’t have time for when you’re working full time.”
She plans to look for a part-time position in the fall and become more involved with the Oasis Women’s Ministry, where she is a board member. “We’ll see where God takes things,” Deb said.
stages of life, the recent Solanco High School graduates learned their dreams were being realized in similar circumstances. Madison and Claire both discovered they had been accepted to Ivy League institutions following a dance class.
A year ago, there was no chance Madison would end up at Princeton. She hadn’t applied yet because she didn’t think it was possible. “I didn’t know I wanted to go to Princeton until last August,” she said. “I was trying to expand my list of applications with safety schools, target schools, and reach schools. Princeton was one of those schools I added as a reach school.”
In December, Madison went home after a dance class, and she opened the application portal with her family watching. “I was really excited,” she said. “I wasn’t really expecting to get in. I had a little bit of hope, but when I opened it up and refreshed the portal, I saw a big Princeton Tiger
on my screen, so I thought maybe I got in. I scrolled down and saw the first word was ‘congratulations.’”
Madison is planning to study chemistry with a goal of conducting medical research in a lab.
Claire had her sights set on the Big Red while in middle school. “Cornell has been my dream school since seventh grade,” she said. “I decided what I wanted to do, and I looked up the top colleges for my major, and Cornell was No. 1. And I thought, ‘That’s where I want to go.’”
Claire got the good news after a dance class on Dec. 13, 2024. “I didn’t think I was going to get in, so I opened (the portal) up at dance with my friends,” she said. “I saw the screen that said I got in, and I said, ‘Oh, my gosh!’ I was so excited I got in.”
Claire will still major in animal science as she planned five years ago, but instead of becoming a zoologist, she is now leaning
toward becoming a veterinarian and working with large mammals. They both agree that their participation in school-related activities helped them get accepted. “I think a lot of it rested on my extracurriculars,” said Madison, who was a member of the Renaissance Club, National Honor Society, and French National Honor Society. “I think a big part of it was the Lenfest Scholars Foundation,” she added.
Madison was awarded a scholarship after her junior year. “They gave me a recommendation later, and they were the ones that encouraged me to apply to Princeton and different reach schools, so I think they were the push that I needed,” she said.
Claire took an esoteric approach. She went online to study what people said Cornell likes to see on applications and based her writing supplements on that research. “Cornell is a
huge ag school, which really helped me because I do live on a farm, and I’m in FFA, and I show animals at the fair.”
Madison also credits her high school coursework. “The AP classes that Solanco has definitely helps,” she said. “I think that prepares for the classes I’ll have at Princeton. I also wrote about the Solanco community in my personal essay. So I think that definitely helped me stand out.”

the students were accepted into college. Madison emailed teacher Stephanie Wood first and teacher Bill Johnson the following morning. “By the end of the day, people were asking me if it was true. I don’t know how they found out,” she said.
Claire immediately told her closest friends. “Everyone has been very supportive,” she said.
Madison stated she is thankful for her parents, Michael and Melissa, and teachers Jake Bongiovanni and Jessica Tipping. “Madison is one of the most driven and diligent students I have had,” said
Bongiovanni. “She sets a high standard for herself and continually pushes herself to achieve success. Madison never worked for accolades, but she worked hard because she saw the value in what she was doing and where she wanted to go.”
Claire is grateful for her parents, Byron and Carol, as well as Bongiovanni and teacher Caley Roark. Bongiovanni wrote letters of recommendation for both Madison and Claire.
“It was a joy to have Claire in class and get to know her,” said Bongiovanni. “She is hardworking, driven, and outgoing. Claire was very invested
and involved in the FFA program at school, and she knew that her investment in her academics would benefit her in her passion with agriculture. Claire had a desire to achieve success, and she put in the work to achieve that success.”
Scott Long is a proud principal. “It’s definitely a great accomplishment,” he said. “I think it shows that no matter where you are, there are programs available, and if you take advantage of it, you can do anything. We have a lot of cool stories from this senior class. We’re pretty excited for two of them to go to the Ivy League.”

Native Plant Kit Sale Posted
To help nurture more watershed-friendly properties, Penn State Extension will offer Master Watershed Steward Watershed-Friendly Native Plant Kits for sale through Sunday, July 13.
The kits are designed to help individuals incorporate more native plants into their property. The pickup locations will include sites in Lancaster, York, Berks, and Chester counties.
The kits contain plant plugs carefully selected from species grown by Kind Earth Grower using locally collected, open-source pollinated seeds and 50% peat-free growing media. Plant plugs are smaller than those typically found in nurseries, allowing for easier transportation and planting within existing vegetation. The plugs have healthy root systems that should establish this fall so plants can flourish next growing season.
The kit options are the Sunny Dry Bottoms Kit and the Shady Dry Bottoms Kit for drier-soil areas; the Deer-Resistant Kit; and the Groundcover Kit, which contains low-growing plants
that will spread, helping to retain soil moisture and block unwanted seeds from soil contact. Single-species kits are also available this year, including native sedges for patches of lawn replacement. All kit options are available in two kit sizes.
Bountiful Kits include five species with five individual plants of each species, for a total of 25 plants. Container Kits include five species with one plant of each species, for a total of five plants.
Individuals may choose their kit and select the pickup location most convenient to them. Proceeds will support the Master Watershed Steward program in providing volunteer-driven education and restoration work in the region.
More information about the plant kit sale is available at https://bit.ly/ NativePlantKits.
Penn State Extension also offers the opportunity to earn the Master Watershed Steward watershed-friendly certification in collaboration with Nurture Nature Center. Native plants are woven throughout the certification criteria.
Monday, July 7, 2025 Auction starts @ 10:00 AM
Individuals can help create watershed-friendly properties with native plant kits from Penn State Extension.

Bring Something, Buy Something Benefit Scheduled

Mervin Beiler is always quick to greet visitors at Sunny Sunbeam located in Bart Township, a workshop that serves members of the Plain community with special needs. Sunny Sunbeam is one of several workshops found throughout Lancaster County. This year, Beiler’s friend Elmer Smucker joined Beiler in saying hello. The workshops, which provide socialization for adults with special needs and welcome respite for their parents, are supported by an annual auction.
This year, the 19th annual Special Needs Benefit Auction will be held on Monday, July 7, at Fisher’s Quality Dairy Sales, 3304 B Old Philadelphia Pike, Ronks. The auction will begin at 10 a.m., but breakfast food items will be offered for purchase at starting at 5:30 a.m., with drivethrough service available.
Sunny Sunbeam attendees visit the center on Mondays and Wednesdays over the summer and on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the other seasons. Participants arrive at 9 a.m., and the day begins with devotions, which includes reading a chapter from the Bible, praying, and singing. Caregiver Sarah Fisher noted that lessons - arithmetic, reading, spelling, and Englishare part of each morning session.
Lunch is at 11:30 a.m. Some days participants bring their own lunches, and some days the meal is prepared at the center. Beiler reported that the lunch on June 11, which happened to be eaten outdoors, featured potatoes, meatballs, peas, and salad. Apple crisp was served for dessert.
shop. Another new project involves packing paper tablets. Beiler explained that packaging the tablets involves cutting, adding stickers and magnets, and then putting the tablets in bags.
Together, Sunny Sunbeam and the other centers - Sunbeam, Special Hearts Circle, Caring Hearts, New Horizons, Upper Valley Workshop, Shady Hollow, and Sunnyside Specials - give the more than 100 adults who attend a chance to socialize and do productive work. Beiler noted that two of the Sunny Sunbeam attendees come from Maryland.
Highlights of this year’s auction will include carriages, swing sets, and

sheds. A 26-by-28-foot garage, built on the highest bidder’s site, will go up for auction. The building will have a concrete floor, two garage doors, and an attic with stairs. Other items will include grills, scooters, wagons, tools, and outdoor
furniture. Quilts made at Caring Hearts are scheduled to be sold at 4 p.m. Beiler said that he enjoys helping out at the auction.
“I’m looking forward to it,” he stated. Fisher noted that Beiler will hold up items
After lunch, there is a story time, followed by projects to be worked on. Fisher said that the group still packages poly clothespins and makes keychains with beads. Male members of the group mow the grass. On June 11, boxes of snap peas awaited the group of 15 in the cool of the work-

See Benefit pg 9
Ice Cream Day at the LCAA will be held Sunday, Aug. 10, from 1 to 4 p.m. The closing reception, including the presentation of awards, is slated for Sept. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Visitors can vote for award winners by buying ballots, which will also serve as an entry into a drawing to be held at the end of the show. The person with the winning ticket will receive Herr’s painting “Shade Tree Garden Shed.” Herr estimated it took 35 hours to complete the oilon-linen work. “We’re always looking for ways to fundraise,” she said. “I thought if we were going to charge for the ballots, it would be nice to give away the painting at the end.”
An award-winning artist, Herr is a native of the Buck in East Drumore Township. She graduated from the York Academy of Art and studied at the Art Students League in New York City. Her contemporary impressionistic landscape paintings have appeared in local and national exhibits. In addition to choosing a favorite artist, voters will select their favorite medium from three categories: oil and acrylic; watermedia, which includes watercolor, tempera, gouache, or mixed media made up of water-based media; and other media and 3D, which includes pastel, drawing, encaustics, printmaking, sculptures, ceramics, wood, jewelry, and glass. There will be five chances for artists to bring their
works to the LCAA, with each occasion having a theme. Thursday, July 10, to Sunday, July 13, will be for waterworks, subjects that depict water in any form. On Thursday, July 24, to Sunday, July 27, the LCAA will accept “red-hot subjects,” meaning an item that includes the color red or things that are hot. The theme for Thursday, Aug. 7, to Sunday, Aug. 10, is “field of dreams”; works should feature fields and farms or baseball-related subjects. Anything goes for the final drop-off dates on Thursday, Aug. 21, to Sunday, Aug. 24. This competition is open to artists 17 years of age and older. There is a small entry fee per piece. LCAA membership is not required.
Artists decide if their works are for sale. LCAA receives a 30% commission for each sale. Works must conform to LCAA exhibition guidelines and must be 55 inches or smaller in any direction. Artists can enter between one and four pieces at each drop-off theme. Works may be picked up Saturday, Sept. 6; Sunday, Sept. 7; and Thursday, Sept. 11, through Sunday, Sept. 14. There will also be a Children and Teen Edition with the theme “What I Did This Summer!” and two age groups: 7 to 12 and 13 to 16. Drop-offs may be made during regular LCAA hours, Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. The entry deadline is Aug. 24. There will also be awards presented in the these categories.
Go to www.lcaaonline.org for more information about the Lancaster County Art Association.
“It’s a beautiful facility to encourage the arts,” said LCAA publicity chair Patricia Keller. “We always have beautiful works of art here, and we like for people to come out and appreciate what’s here. It’s a golden treasure.”

In its heyday, the Reading Company was a multifaceted industrial giant. Originally established as the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad in 1833 to transport anthracite coal, the 94-mile line evolved into a large corporation serving eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Operations included coal mining, iron making, canal and sea-going transportation, and shipbuilding. With its complex of shops for locomotive and car building and repair, as well as constant advances in railroad technology, the company held a position of leadership in the railroad industry for over a century.
