Quarryville Couple Gets Their Kicks on Route 66
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Butch Marvin noted that there are two kinds of car enthusiasts.
“Some people that really like cars just like to look at them,” Butch said. “Other people that really like cars like to drive them.”
Butch and his wife, Charmaine, showed what type of automobile aficionados they are by operating their vintage car on a trip along historic Route 66 and back.
Quarryville residents Butch and Charmaine, along with friends from Delaware, Marvin and Pat Sterling, traversed 6,396 miles in 26 days, leaving home on April 3 and returning April 28.
The Marvins drove a 1954 Ford convertible while the Sterlings steered a 1955 Ford Crown Victoria.
One of the nation’s best-known
thoroughfares, Route 66 has been frequently referenced in pop culture, including songs, television shows, movies, and books such as “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck, who referred to it as the “Mother Road.”
The quartet stayed overnight in Indianapolis with members of the Sterling family before driving to the starting site in Chicago and officially beginning their journey

Solanco High School’s Odyssey of the Mind team took the World Finals by storm.
The team’s presentation, featuring an ibis persevering through a tropical depression, earned Solanco a ninth-place finish out of 29 teams and the fourthbest score in the style category.
Schools from around the United States and from France, Germany, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, South Korea, Switzerland, and Japan took part in the event, which was held May 21 to 25 at Michigan State University.

Elizabeth Dixon believes Drumore Friends Meetinghouse is a historical gem hidden in plain sight.
“People know where it is and use it to give directions but don’t know anything about it,” she said.
Dixon is hoping to change that by playing an integral role in exhibits featured during events this summer.
Open houses will be held on Saturdays, July 12, Aug. 9, and Sept. 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1495 Susquehannock Drive, Drumore. There will be a map showing where residents lived, and a self-guided tour through the cemetery is encouraged. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and a blanket for seating on the meetinghouse grounds. The meetinghouse was featured on a garden tour last year, and Dixon’s exhibits were well received.
Dixon, who grew up in Pittsburgh and now resides in Seattle, first became interested in learning more about her ancestors while looking through photos which belonged to her grandmother Marguerite Earnhart Bennett. Dixon is related to two-thirds of the 25 founding families of Drumore Friends.
Dixon delved deeper into her family’s history to gain a better understanding of the Drumore Quakers and the community as a whole. “History came alive for me,” she said. “As I started to research, it became increasingly real for me.”
It’s fair to say the Drumore Quakers were movers and shakers.

Solanco OM team members (back, from left) Lexi Groff, Isaac Esh, Kieran Groff, Rhiannon Groff, Mackenzie Landis, and Brooke Hiatt meet Omer, the OM mascot.
Solanco OM
The Solanco squad was composed of senior Lexi Groff; juniors Isaac Esh, Brooke Hiatt, and Kira Roark (who was unable to attend the World Finals because of a commitment to the Mules’ softball team); sophomores Rhiannon Groff and Mackenzie Landis; and freshman Kieran Groff.
“They did really well,” coach Caley Roark said. “(The World Finals) was probably, of the three times they performed, the best performance in all of the areas: style, artistry, long-term problem, and the spontaneous portion of the competition. Their performance got better each time.”
With the theme “OM-azing Race,” the prompt instructed teams to design, build, and operate an all-terrain vehicle that transports riders on a race for a prize.
“In a vehicle problem, where you’re dependent on the vehicle to work, there’s a chance something could go wrong,” said Caley. “But our vehicle was very consistent. Their acting, the props, and the setting all got better each time.”
Kieran and Isaac constructed the vehicle, which was powered by a leaf blower. “It was just a bunch of trial and error,” said Isaac. “Originally, we were trying to make a hovercraft. We did so many prototypes, but it just could not hold a person.”
This was Isaac’s first year
with the OM team. “I was looking for a fun class,” he said. “I’m thinking about doing engineering (as a career), and this a good way to test those skills.”
Kieran had fun being on a team with his sisters, Lexi and Rhiannon. “It was amazing,” he said. “I didn’t have superhigh expectations going into it. I was just excited to be able to take part in it because I’ve seen my sisters doing it, and they were having fun. I just really enjoyed my time.”
Rhiannon said having two siblings on the squad made for an interesting dynamic. “It was really fun, but sometimes it was a little extra stressful because since we live together, we could take out our anger on each other,” she said with a laugh. “I think we did it well, and it was fun. Especially since Lexi is graduating this year, it was really nice to have this (experience) with her and go to worlds as a group.”
Lexi, who earned the East Central PA Odyssey of the Mind scholarship, also cherished the chance to compete with her siblings. “It’s really nice because I’ve never been on a team where I can go home and discuss ideas and talk things out,” she said. “A lot of times, we’re on the same wavelength. Sometimes that’s not as helpful because then it’s harder to communicate with the rest of the team.”
Last year’s absence from the World Finals after making it as a freshman and sophomore made her heart grow fonder. “(Making it to the World Finals) was awesome,” said Lexi. “I was really, really hoping we would go back, and that’s why we worked so hard. It had been such a great experience my first two years, and I would’ve been disappointed if I didn’t go back my senior year.”
Mackenzie is thankful she joined Odyssey of the Mind. “I have multiple friends on the team, and I was hearing them talk about it,” she said. “My sister did OM when she was in middle school, so I’ve always known about OM, and I decided to do it this year.”
Mackenzie added, “It was pretty nerve-wracking at first. I got one of the main roles. I was the pelican/ibis. I remember the regional tournament, and I was pretty nervous because I hadn’t done anything like that before. It was a cool experience to
learn how to get in that state of mind and be creative.”
Solanco began competing in Odyssey of the Mind in 2010. In that time, Solanco has fielded 29 teams with 18 of those teams reaching the state finals. The 2025 vehicle team was the fifth to reach the World Finals (2014, 2021, 2022, and 2023). Each of the teams reaching the World Finals finished in 11th place or above.
“It’s really difficult to get to worlds,” Caley said. “I think the goal every year is to get to worlds. When I started, getting to states was amazing. We thought if we got to states, that was good. Now, I think kids come in and think we have a shot of getting to
worlds.”
While at the World Finals, the Solanco participants befriended teams from Oklahoma, New York, and Poland. On the way to and from Michigan State University, the team enjoyed Korean barbecue and an Akron RubberDucks baseball game and got trapped in an escape room.
“I loved the escape room, even though we overthought everything,” said Brooke. “My favorite meal was eating at Swensons (a famous regional drive-in chain).”

Occupational Therapy Practice Opens in Lancaster
Kidmunicate Pediatric Speech Therapy, located at 1725 Oregon Pike, Lancaster, has partnered with Heather Majtyka, OTR/L, to start an affiliate company called Kidnecting Potential. Kidnecting Potential, with offices in Wayne and Lancaster, began treating kids on June 30.
Kidnecting Potential aims to be the leader in pediatric occupational therapy services in southeastern Pennsylvania. Heather Majtyka, OTR/L founder and president, is known for her individualized and neurodiversity-affirming approach. Kidnecting Potential supports children and families through specialized therapy designed to foster growth, connection and meaningful participation in daily routines, in relationships and in the broader community.
Rather than aiming to “fix” behaviors or developmental patterns, the practice focuses on understanding how a child experiences
the world and tailoring support to build regulation, confidence and functional engagement.
The Lancaster location offers families access to clinicians with advanced training in sensory integration, DIR/Floortime, motor planning and praxis and sound-based interventions such as Tomatis and Interactive Metronome. These tools are integrated to support self-regulation, attention, coordination and everyday participation that are always grounded in developmental readiness and relationship-based care.
Whether a child is navigating sensory or motor differences, transitions or regulation challenges, the goal is never to mold them into a preconceived idea of “typical.” It’s about supporting their access to the relationships, routines and experiences that matter most, whether that’s joining a game on the playground, making it through
a family dinner or feeling confident in a classroom.
In addition to one-onone therapy, Kidnecting Potential offers therapeutic intensives, caregiver education and consultative support to help families carry over strategies into home and community settings.
The new Lancaster clinic features a warm, sensory-rich environment that encourages exploration, emotional safety and joy in learning.

Bird Club Sets Meeting, Field Trip
The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet on Thursday, July 10, at 7 p.m. at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area’s Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens. Jon Kauffman will present “Life in a Nest Box: American Kestrels and Barn Owls.”
Kauffman will provide an in-depth look of the breeding phenology of American kestrels and barn owls through live nestcam footage. Footage will include activities within the box before egg laying begins, parental role in incubation and brooding, and clues to help nestbox managers better understand the needs of parents and nestlings to successfully fledge.
Kauffman promotes conservation through citizen science projects such as Project NestWatch and the American kestrel and barn owl nestbox program at Penn State University’s Shaver’s Creek Environ -
mental Center. He has served as a hawk-watcher for Tussey Mountain Hawk Watch and has also traveled and worked with other organizations such as Cape May Bird Observatory and Intermountain Bird Observatory in Idaho.
The meeting is free and open to the public. For more information, call 717-856-3851 or 717-725-2717.

Saquon Barkley is Special Guest at UDSF Gala
United Disabilities Services Foundation (UDSF) recently hosted its largest and most successful gala and event to date. Commemorating its 60 years of service, the Diamond Jubilee Gala hallmarked all the work the organization has done and included a special guest, 2025 Super Bowl champion and Offensive Player of the Year for the 2024 NFL season, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
This year’s annual gala sold out quickly and drew 750 attendees for an evening of connection, philanthropy and service. The highlight of the evening was the fireside-style chat with Barkley, conducted by Eagles insider Dave Spadaro.
Barkley also signed a football, a helmet and a jersey for the live auction. These items garnered some of the highest bids of the
Youth Alive Conference Planned
The Youth Alive Conference will be held on Thursday to Saturday, July 17 to 19, at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton, 2400 Willow Street Pike, Lancaster, with a mission to uplift and empower the next generation. The event will feature speakers; life-skills and empowerment workshops; worship; a youth pool party; a live talent show; youth and adult door prizes; and a vendor marketplace featuring local creatives, including the youngest entrepreneur, 5-year-old Bella Durham, author of a children’s book and coloring book. The conference’s theme is “Unshackled.”
The conference is open to the public and is for young people, as well as parents, mentors, teachers, churches, business leaders, and neighbors. For more information or to register, visit www.live-chosen.org/ youth-alive-conference or email info@live -chosen.org.
evening, raising $6,000, $25,000 and $14,000, respectively.
UDSF announced that the event raised close to $650,000 through sponsorships, the auction and ticket sales for its mission to provide personal care and support services for older adults and people with disabilities.
The organization looks forward to supporting more clients for years to come and welcoming even more attendees to its annual events as it continues to grow. For more information about UDSF, visit www.udservices.org.
Saquon Barkley signed a football for the live auction, as well as a helmet and a jersey.
Around the turn of the 19th century, the area featured two general stores, as well as three mills, one of which was owned by the Pennock family and is now Drumore Mill, a venue that hosts weddings and other events. The Ambler family founded Quarryville National Bank. Sallie Bolton Pyle was in the inaugural class of Lancaster Normal School, which became Millersville University.
Dixon discovered a diary written in 1890 by an ancestor, Jessie Wynona Lamborn, who was 22 years old at the time. A self-described amateur storyteller, Dixon said she gleaned fas-
cinating information from reading Wynona’s records.
Members of Drumore Friends Meetinghouse will serve ice cream to visitors at the July 12 open house, which will also feature audio exhibits spoken by Dixon. “This will be a deeper dive into the Drumore families,” she said.
Abolitionists Joseph Smith and George Lamborn will be two of the topics. Smith hid slaves in a subterranean level beneath his barn on Fishing Creek. George helped slaves pass through a wind cave, which is a cave that has two entrance/exit points.
The subject of the Aug. 9
event will be “Drumore Quakers at Work and at Play.”
“Quakers are known as serious, hard-working people who didn’t have
fun,” Dixon said. “That’s a misconception.” Wynona’s diary revealed that groups gathered at the meetinghouse to recite poetry and play cards and tiddlywinks.
Wynona married Early Earnhart, who got his first name because he was born before he was expected. Early formed the Earnhart Family Orchestra.
TROPHY WALL

Another member of the Friends, Simon Pennock, was a renowned pewtersmith whose work has appeared at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Dixon will make the cross-country trip to attend the Sept. 13 open house in person. She will talk more about Wynona and Early’s story and provide a glimpse of what everyday life was like. For example, before marrying Early, Wynona taught in Fulton Township and lived in Drumore with her aunt and uncle, Alice and Will Shoemaker.
Dixon will also share details about Frank Tennis, who fought in the Civil War. Quakers were rightfully known as peaceful people, but they also strongly
believed in equality, said Dixon.
She added that some of the people who attend the open house could be in for a surprise. “If your family tree includes the names Shoemaker, Cutler, Smith, Ambler, and Walton, it’s very likely you have Drumore Quaker ancestors that you may not know about,” she said. Go to the organization’s Facebook page, Drumore Friends Meeting House, for more information.
LBC Announces New Housing at Calvary Homes
Lancaster Bible College (LBC) and Calvary Homes have partnered to create Charger Hall @Calvary, a Christ-centered student housing initiative that blends Christian community, independent living, and intergenerational connection.
The former Bausman Healthcare Center on the Calvary Homes campus has been transformed into secure, independent housing for LBC students.
Launching as a pilot program for the 2025-26 academic year, this living opportunity will allow LBC juniors, seniors, and graduate students to choose a residential experience
that fosters biblical values, mentorship, and service while engaging with senior adults in a meaningful way and maintaining the freedom and responsibility of off-campus housing. The new housing will provide students with unique opportunities to serve and engage within the community. As part of the partnership, students will be encouraged to make connections with Calvary Homes residents in spaces such as the café, fitness, and pickleball areas. Additionally, a team comprising representatives from both LBC and Calvary Homes will be exploring opportunities for life-on-life connection.

to the end of the road at Santa Monica Pier in California.
Route 66, which opened in 1926, is 2,448 miles long, and Butch estimates the group spent 1,000 miles on the original road or where the original road once was. “We followed as much of the old route as possible,” Butch said, adding that the road was decommissioned in 1984, meaning it was no longer officially known as U.S. Route 66.
Butch stated that the advent of Interstate 40 in 1957 did severe economic damage to towns along Route 66, including Vega, Texas, which was one of his favorite spots along the way.
“There were 11 service stations, nine hotels, and restaurants open 24 hours a day, and it all went away,” he said. “Then the towns started re-creating themselves.”
Butch and Charmaine said they enjoyed staying in nostalgic motels, which they did whenever it was feasible. They met people from Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia, seeing some of the people multiple times.
Butch, who was responsible for planning the trip, said he half-jokingly told the others, “My goal is to drive the old road, so don’t be asking for a bunch of distractions on the way out.” Of course, Butch eased those restrictions at his traveling companions’ request. “Whenever we saw something we liked, we stopped,” he said.
The group paused for the obligatory photos at the midway point in Adrian, Texas. In addition to small towns like Santa Rosa, N.M., and Holbrook, Ariz.,
they saw St. Louis; Oklahoma City; and Amarillo, Texas, and enjoyed trips to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
The Marvins both enjoyed time in Oatman, Ariz., an old western gold town with wooden sidewalks that features a re-enactment of a cowboys’ gunfight. Travelers go down a donkey-lined 8-mile road with 19 curves and no guardrails. “It reminds you of days gone by,” Butch said of the cities on the route. “There is nostalgic car memorabilia everywhere you go.”
Charmaine’s favorite stop was in Winslow, Ariz., popularized by the Eagles’ song, “Take It Easy,” which includes the lyrics, “Well, I’m a-standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see.” Butch learned that “Take It Easy” is one of Charmaine’s favorite songs. “She was like a child in a candy store,” he said.
Butch had planned to take the trip with his first wife, Mary, in 2015. They put off the trip to be home for the birth of their first grandchild. Then Mary was diagnosed with cancer and passed away in 2019.
Butch later married Charmaine, who was a widow. Butch and Charmaine met the Sterlings while the Marvins were celebrating their first anniversary at a car show in Burlington, Vt. The couples became friends and traveled together to Daytona three times. The Marvins learned that an expedition along Route 66 had been a lifelong ambition of the Sterlings. The group discussed making the journey next year during the 100th anni-
versary of Route 66, but they saw their schedules were free this April and elected to do it this spring.
The vintage vehicles held up. A bracket came loose on Butch’s Ford, but it got welded back on. The Sterlings encountered fuel delivery problems and radiator issues but forged ahead.
There were ideal temperatures and only two days of rain. “We had the kind of weather people dream about,” Butch said.
Charmaine said, “There was so much to see and just the views of the mountains and lakes were fantastic.”
The journey surpassed expectations. “It was more than I thought it would be,” Butch said. “I was amazed by the places. The people are cool, and the stories are cool.”

Ephrata Cloister Sets Expanded Tours
Historic Ephrata Cloister, 632 W. Main St., Ephrata, will offer expanded site tours on Saturday, July 12, with tour times at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The tours will offer a deeper look into Ephrata Cloister’s Revolutionary War connection. Each tour will begin at the Visitor Center before guests divide into smaller groups to rotate through three themed stations: Ephrata Cloister as a military hospital during the winter of 1777-78; Revolutionary War myths and legends associated with the site; and a behind-the-scenes look at the Collections Storage Building, featuring rarely seen artifacts connected to Ephrata Cloister’s role in the Revolution. The tours will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes and will involve extended walking, including uphill grassy paths. Each time slot will be limited to 40 participants. The event will be held rain or shine. Tickets are available, with a discount for members of the Ephrata Cloister Associates. Advance registration and payment are required. To register, call 717-733-6600 or stop by the Visitor Center.
