Risk Thrilled To Be Teaching in Solanco
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Ashley Risk landed her dream job.
The 2008 Solanco High School graduate started her first year working full time for the school district as a physical education teacher who splits time between Quarryville and Providence elementary schools.
She is exactly where she wanted to be.
“I feel really, really blessed because I can remember playing softball, and I had always had a wonderful experience with teachers, staff, and all of the students in the Solanco School District,” said Risk. “I can remember mostly when I was playing softball, I loved how the community and everyone around you
was so supportive. For example, softball games, we didn’t just have friends and family there. We had teachers, we had staff members, hall monitors. We had people from the community, grandparents that weren’t even our grandparents, but they would come watch. And I just remember being so supported, and I just remember how special that was. And that’s something that I hope I can give back to my

The latest round of the Hometown Heroes banner project will take place in Quarryville Borough this fall and winter.
The banners, which honor people who either are currently serving in the armed forces or have served the country, are updated every two years. People who are sponsoring a banner can renew, and new participants are also welcome. There is room for more than 100 banners, said borough resident Scott Peiffer, who has spearheaded the project along with his wife, Mary.
The banners are located on State, 4th, Hess, Church, and Lime streets; on Park Avenue; and in Townsedge Shopping Village. “If people have a request for a specific place, we will try to accommodate that,” Scott said.

Executive director Jennifer West stated that Girls on the Run (GOTR) Lancaster-Lebanon is designed to help girls achieve whatever goals they set.
“We like to say girls join for 100 different rea sons,” she said. “Some like to get faster in a sport on their offseason. Some are new to the area, and they want to make friends. Some have friends, and they just want to have a really great time. You can be from any area and when you participate in Girls on the Run, you are going to get out of it exactly what you need.”
Anyone who has served in any branch of the Armed Forces is eligible to be represented on a banner. There is no residency requirement. There is a fee for the cost of the banner. Anyone who wants an application can email Scott at peiffer216@ aol.com. Peiffer will need the servicemember’s name, era and branch of service, as well as a photograph in uniform.
“I’d love to have some new ones, new folks,” Scott said. “It’s always neat to get new people.”
The Peiffers partnered with the Quarryville Lions Club for the project after the local American Legion post disbanded. The project is not affiliated with Quarryville Borough, but Peiffer noted that borough officials continue to be supportive.

While not all suicides are preventable, many are.
Sometimes the smallest action, the simplest word from a single individual can be the difference between life and death.
This year’s theme for the Mental Health America of Lancaster County’s (MHALC) annual suicide prevention conference is the power of one.

“We want to believe all suicides are preventable,” said Kim McDevitt, MHALC’s executive director. “It’s such a complex issue. When you have to tell a parent that their child’s suicide was preventable, it’s really hard. There’s a lot of guilt and shame around it, and we don’t want to perpetuate it.”
“Some people are so desperate just to have someone say something to them,” said Elaine Gilbert, MHALC’s marketing and fundraising coordinator. “When you’re talking about the power of one, that’s what we’re referring to.”
That power of one will be a point of exploration when MHALC conducts its ninth annual suicide prevention conference from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18, at DoubleTree Resort, 2400 Willow Street Pike, Lancaster. Interested individuals can register at https://mhalancaster.org/ conference before Tuesday, Sept. 9.
September is National Suicide Prevention Month.
“Our goal is to highlight the importance of suicide prevention and the power we have,” said Gilbert. “We want people to be empowered and know that there

Girls on the Run
GOTR LancasterLebanon is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that serves girls in third through eighth grades in Lancaster and Lebanon counties. West said that since forming in 2009, the council has impacted nearly 24,000 girls through locally delivered GOTR, Heart & Sole, and Camp GOTR programs.
Registration for the fall season will be open through Saturday, Sept. 13. Go to www.gotrlancaster.org for more details or to register.
There is a fee to participate, but GOTR has several financial assistance plans and payment options. Registration includes 20 practice sessions conducted by certified and trained GOTR volunteer coaches, curriculum and lesson materials and a take-home journal with activities, an official GOTR season T-shirt and gift, and 5K registration and a medal.
Each team will do a community impact project. “It’s very important to give back to the space where you live so each team picks something that they can do for the school or for the community or for emergency services,” West said.
GOTR teams typically practice twice a week for 10 weeks, and the season will culminate with a celebratory 5K on Sunday, Nov. 16, at 2:30 p.m. at Millersville University’s Pucillo Field.
“By participating in Girls on the Run Lancaster-Lebanon programs, girls learn to raise the bar, to use their voices for positive and effective change, to become empowered leaders over their lives,
as well as in their communities, and to simply be the best version of their already extraordinary selves,” West said.
Girls on the Run Lancaster-Lebanon was founded in 2009. “A friend (Carrie Johnson) and I got together, and she said, ‘This thing called Girls on the Run looks fantastic,’” said West. “‘It’s an empowerment program for girls in third through eighth grades. We talk about self-esteem being the best version of yourself that you can be, standing up for yourself and others, and character development.’ At the time, we both had girls in third and fifth grade, and it was fantastic.”
The first team consisted of 25 girls in Hempfield and now GOTR teams are in every single school district in Lancaster and four of the six districts in Lebanon. “We have been growing by leaps and bounds every single year,” West said. “Lancaster and Lebanon counties have been such a welcoming community. It’s absolutely amazing to see the support from donors and sponsors but also from the families that trust us enough to allow us to spend this time with their daughters. It’s just absolutely unbelievable.”
GOTR is for girls of every ability. “You don’t have to run to be in the program,” said West. “That is a common misconception because we’re called Girls on the Run, but it’s really about moving forward. We say you can hop, roll, skip, or jump your way to the finish line.”
West noted that the program offers an ideal time to bond with teammates.
“The girls will talk about everything from being a good friend to stopping and take a breather before you respond to texts and social media,” she said. “We talk about peer pressure and how can you be the best friend and what qualities do you look for in a friend. It’s so much fun for the girls and it really does introduce them to a lifelong love of being physically active. When you are walking or jogging or running side by side with somebody and you’re having conversations and being silly and having a good time, you’re not thinking about whether you’re jogging or walking.”
There are approximately 600 volunteer coaches a year. “We can’t run the program without volunteers,” said West. “One of our biggest hurdles when it comes to providing the program is recruiting our volunteer coaches. It is a pretty big commitment because the season is so long. But with out our volunteer coaches, we can’t support teams at different sites. We look for those individuals who want to be in that mentorship state with girls and support them in terms of their growth and development.”
nized training program for our coaches,” said West. We want to make sure they’re equipped with everything they need to serve the girls the best they can.”
Each GOTR athlete will compete with a buddy in
the season-ending 5K. The buddy must register for the race and be 16 years old or older. “The buddies are there to keep encouraging them to go at their pace,” said West. “It can be a family friend, it can be a teacher, it can be a neighbor.”
GOTR is also seeking volunteers for the 5K. “We need hundreds of volunteers to be in cheer zones and people to make it fun and help keep it safe,” said West.
Women, men, and high school girls can all help with the coaching. Anyone interested in volunteering can email GOTR program director Kylie Homan at kylie.homan@girlson therun.org. “Girls on the Run has a nationally recog-

Drumore Friends Meetinghouse Sets Open House
The Drumore Friends Meetinghouse, 1495 Susquehannock Drive, Drumore, will host its final summer open house on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event will feature many print and audio exhibits about local history, as well as a free storytelling performance by amateur historian Elizabeth Dixon at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Dixon is a descendent of numerous Drumore Quaker families, including Jessie Wynona Lamborn
Earnhart. Her performance will primarily focus on Earnhart’s life and the 1890 diary she wrote at age 22. Earnhart was raised in Drumore, taught at a one-room schoolhouse in Fulton, and spent numerous mid-life years in Oxford until her untimely death at age 47. Her diary is a portrait of local life before electricity, paved roads, and other modern conveniences.
For more information, follow the “Drumore Friends Meeting House” Facebook page.

Choices Healthcare Schedules Conference
Clergy and faith leaders from across the region are invited to attend Choices Healthcare’s Supporting Families and Community Together conference dedicated to strengthening partnerships between pastors, spiritual caregivers, and health care providers in communities of color. The conference will take place on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Pathways Center for Grief & Loss, 4075 Old Harrisburg Pike, Mount Joy. The event is sponsored by the High Foundation.
The gathering will offer tools, understanding, and language to better support individuals and families

The program will begin with a keynote address on faith, culture, and compassionate care, delivered by Shayna Watson from Trinity Church in Washington, D.C., and Sara Wiegner, a retired chaplain with Hospice & Community Care.
Following the keynote, a panel discussion will bring together clergy and hospice experts, including the Rev.
Sherry Lupton, covenant pastor at Shiloh Presbyterian Church; Bertha De Jesus, assistant professor at Millersville University; pastor Carol Pagan, leader of faith at Living Christian Church in Reading; and pastor Oscar Vazquez, CEO of Hope Ministries.

Schreiber Sets Rubber Duckie Race and Festival
The Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development will host its 37th annual Rubber Duckie Race & Festival on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 2 to 5 p.m. at 625 Community Way, Lancaster. The tradition blends family fun, local food, and community spirit with the mission to raise funds so local children with disabilities and developmental delays can continue receiving life-changing therapies, regardless of their socio-economic background.
The festival will feature
pony rides, arts and crafts, carnival games, and live music from a DJ. Food vendors will include Cupcakes by Casey, Scoops Ice Cream & Grille, Walk-O Taco, and Mad Chef Craft Brewing. Vendor booths from Aetna, Lancaster AMBUCS, PA Lions, PaperPie, and Penn State Health will be on-site.
Adopting a duck is the community’s entry into the grand prize giveaway of $2,500 cash, with additional prizes including $500 cash, a Kitchen Kettle Village gourmet
basket, and family fun packages. Winners will be announced at www .schreiberpediatric.org on Monday, Sept. 8. Every duck adoption directly supports Schreiber’s ability to provide care, helping cover the gap between insurance and cost of care so no child is turned away due to financial constraints.

Robbins, museum curator, will take place at 1:30 p.m. in the museum auditorium.
The event will also feature a railroad heritage craft activity table for kids and a Pennsylvania Railroad truck owned by Ken Briers, both present all day in Rolling Stock Hall. A number of the museum’s historic locomotives and railroad cars will also be open for visitors to experience.
Railroad Heritage Day activities are included in the regular museum admission.
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is home to a collection of about 100 historic locomotives and railroad cars, a research library and archives, a working restoration shop, an immersive education center, and a museum store. For more information, visit www .rrmuseumpa.org or call 717-687-8628.

gloom. It’s people coming up with solutions. There’s a lot of conversation.”
Jennifer Storm, a nationally recognized victims’ rights expert and the author of the book “Blackout Girl,” will serve as the suicide prevention conference’s keynote speaker. The breakout sessions will be instructed by 16 mental health experts.
“When I look at what this conference is, I think it’s really bringing providers together for one common cause, for one very difficult mission,” said McDevitt.
“When I’m there, I feel like I’m elevated by energy and compassion of care. This is one particular mission, and it’s directed toward saving lives. You’re working with amazing folks who are not only like-minded but also compassionate. These folks aren’t coming because they’re sent there; they’re coming because they want to be there.”
Nearly 250 individuals are expected to attend the conference, including mental health professionals, case managers, education professionals, representatives from county agencies and people who have been directly or indirectly affected by suicide. Attendees can earn credit toward mandated hours, suicide prevention continu-
ing education and Act 48 requirements.
“It’s impossible to quantify how many lives have been saved (over the course of the convention’s existence),” said Gilbert, a resident of Lancaster city. “We’ll never know how many people have been impacted. We like to think of it as, ‘How many people don’t we know who have been saved?’”
According to the Lancaster County Coroner’s Office, five times more local residents died of suicide last year than by homicide. In 2024, more Lancaster County residents died from suicide - 65 - than from motor vehicle accidents - 53.
Currently, Lancaster County is on pace to surpass last year’s total number of suicides.
“People who commit suicide are people who are constantly struggling with their mental health. They’ve had suicidal ideations, they’ve thought about it,” said McDevitt, a resident of Manheim Township. “Mental illness is like physical illness. If you understand mental illness, those people did not take their own lives. We want to help people recognize the signs and symptoms of suicide.”
Flu, Pneumonia Vaccines Available at Giant, Martin’s
The Giant Company has announced that flu and pneumonia vaccinations are now available at all Giant and Martin’s pharmacies.
Walk-ins are welcome, but customers can also make an appointment if they prefer. Most insurance plans cover flu shots at $0 copays, including Medicare Part B.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone age 6 months and older get a flu vaccination annually, ideally by October. Vaccination to prevent influenza is particularly important for people who are at higher risk of developing serious complications from flu, including people with diabetes, pregnant women, adults over 65, those with asthma and other chronic lung diseases, those with kidney
and liver disorders, heart disease patients and those with compromised immune systems.
Giant and Martin’s pharmacies also offer pneumococcal vaccinations, which can be administered at the same time as a flu shot.
The CDC recommends the pneumococcal vaccination for all children younger than 5 years old and all adults age 50 years or older. It is also recommended for both children and adults with certain risk conditions. Immunizations are administered by immunizing Giant and Martin’s pharmacists and specially trained pharmacy team members, subject to state regulations. To find the nearest Giant or Martin’s pharmacy, visit www .giantfoodstores.com or www.martinsfoods.com or download the free Giant or Martin’s Pharmacy app.

students, and then also I hope that my children get that experience, too.”
After graduating from West Chester University, Risk worked as a substitute teacher before raising and homeschooling her four children, Scarlett, Maxum, Penelope, and Masen.
Last March, Risk worked as a long-term substitute teacher at Quarryville and Providence. “The timing was perfect,” Risk said. When that position came open on a permanent basis, it was a no-brainer for Risk to apply.
“Out of high school, I was kind of between being an art teacher or a (physical education) teacher,” she said. “I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I was focused heavily on softball and all of the fun things when you graduate high school. Then I decided to take some courses, and then after that, I decided to pursue a career in health and physical education, and that’s what led me to the opportunities that I have now.”
She enjoys teaching physical education. “I get to have fun with the kids, but I also get to teach them the importance of being healthy and how to create healthy habits,” Risk said. “Also, I feel like the one subject that will affect them for their entire life.”
Risk is working two and a half days at Quarryville Elementary (QE) and two and a half days at Providence Elementary, and each week she splits the final day of the five-day cycle at QE in the morning and Providence in the afternoon.
“I actually really enjoy it because I get to teach
pretty much half of the kids in elementary for the school district,” Risk said. “I enjoy getting to know all of those students, and it’s kind of fun for me to bounce back and forth between the two schools.
It’s a little more prep (work) to have two gyms and offices, but I kind of like that it keeps me on my toes a little more.”
Risk credits her teachers at Solanco with being excellent role models.
“Part of what has gotten me here today would be the influential teachers that I have had in Solanco,” said Risk.
She mentioned the late Nancy Kreider, an elementary school teacher; middle school teacher Diane Overly; and high school instructors Dawn Kreider and Kristen Testerman.
“Someone that also made high school very special would also be (former Solanco softball coach) Brett Miller,” said Risk. “I played for him for a lot of years, and he wasn’t just a coach. I learned so much from him. All of them have influenced me so much in my career and just life in general, and I just would like to thank them.”
She also says her beliefs have shaped her and also played an integral role in putting her in this position. “My faith is pretty much what has brought me here,” said Risk. “God has always been my strength, and through every circumstance He has provided and been my stronghold all of my life, and I just hope to share that light to everyone around me.”
Heroes from pg 1
purchase and installation of the banners goes to Lions Club projects that honor veterans in Memorial Park.
The Hometown Heroes banner program is particularly meaningful to the Peiffers. Scott’s father, Gene, and Mary’s father, Richard Myers, both served, and the Peiffers sponsor banners in their honor, which are located near their home.
Scott’s mother, Doris, was first married to Quentin Newswanger, who was killed during the Korean conflict. Newswanger is also honored with a banner. Doris’ brothers also served. “Mom always had this compassion toward veterans and servicemen,” Scott said. “There’s always been this awareness, and Mom instilled it in me that this was important and to understand the sacrifice.
My mom could understand that because she lost her husband. She understood what it was like to lose somebody.”
Scott learned about a Hometown Heroes banner project in New Holland and went up to investigate. “It seemed overwhelming, but we thought we would try it in Quarryville,” he said.
Scott enjoys hearing the stories of the veterans and getting to know their family members. He has been invited to a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery and received a book about a local veteran. “I find it fascinating that I get to learn about people, and we get to experience a little bit of history through them telling me these things,” he said.
Scott stated that the program has proven to be popular. “I’ve had people come back and say how nice it is to walk around and read about the veterans,” he said.
LCCF Awards Grants
The Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF) has announced that $317,200 in grants has been awarded to support the work of 18 different community initiatives. These grants, ranging from $5,000 to $55,000, will fund a variety of projects, including providing health care access to homebound geriatric
neighbors, connecting local gardeners to rural food pantries, improving early childhood education programs, and sparking historical preservation.
For more information and to view the list of grant recipients, visit www.lancfound.org/ announcing-317200-in -cycle-1-grants.
“Every now and then I’ll see somebody have a younger child with him, and they stop and read. This is what this is about. That’s what makes it worthwhile, to remind future generations of the people who made sacrifices for us.”
Peiffer would like to have all applications completed by the middle of October and install the
new banners in December.
“When I have all the information, I send all that to the banner company, and then they send proofs back to me,” Peiffer said. “And then I look at all the proofs and make sure I spelled the names right and that the right name’s with the right picture. Then I give them the go-ahead, and they do one printing.”
Mary and Scott Peiffer have a banner honoring Mary’s brother Richard Myers.

Pathways is Continuing Education for Lifelong Learners
BY JEFF FALK
Learning expands the mind. Learning fuels the soul. Learning enriches lives.
Learning knows no age limits.
Landis Homes’ Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning isn’t a high school, but its students are seniors.
“One of the keys of healthy aging is engaging the mind with new adventures,” said Beth Graybill, Pathways Institute’s manager at Landis Homes. “It’s a way to stay engaged with our interests. The social aspect is an important part of it. It helps people get outside of their comfort zones and engage with other seniors in topics they care about.”
All of Pathways Institute of Lifelong Learning’s classes and courses are taught at Landis Homes Senior Living Community, 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lancaster. The courses are designed for individuals age 55 and older, and the classes attract people who are into their 80s and 90s.
“The goal is to provide educational opportunities for folks 55-plus in Lancaster County,” said Graybill. “It’s really a path to enrichment and service. We are all lifelong learners, even in our senior years.”
Pathways Institute offers up to 40 classes in both the fall and the spring. The fall schedule of classes begins on Wednesday, Sept. 17, and runs through Wednesday, Dec. 10.
There are fees and memberships associated with taking the courses.
“(The classes) are really engaging,” said Graybill, a Lancaster city resident. “The presenters give information, and there’s always time for questions and feedback. It tends to be very interactive. It’s a nice opportunity for people in the Lititz area.”
Some of the wide variety of topics covered in the courses include local history, studies of renowned authors, cooking, crafting, foreign affairs, contemporary issues, pets, musical history, the arts and health. The courses include field-trip-like off-site excursions and service-learning opportunities.
There are no tests or grades associated with the classes.
“People take the classes for the intellectual engagement,” said Graybill. “It’s a
way to engage your curiosity and dive into subjects you didn’t have time for when you were working. Some of the topics are things to consider as you age.”
As many as 400 Lancaster
County students attend Pathways courses each semester. Approximately half of the participants are Landis Communities residents; some are residents of other local retirement com-
munities; and others reside in the northern portions of Lancaster County, the city of Lancaster or communities like Columbia.
“They are average people who have time on their hands,” said Graybill. “They are people who are interested in continuing lifelong learning.”
“We are supported by Landis Homes as an added service for residents,” continued Graybill. “We find that some residents choose Landis Homes because of Pathways. Pathways is one of the many opportunities available to residents at Landis Homes.”
Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning’s teaching staff is made up of 30
PUBLIC AUCTION
instructors from local communities and surrounding communities across Lancaster County.
“Many are retired themselves,” said Graybill. “Some are former teachers or just people who have passions in particular areas.”
Pathways is financed through tuition fees, donations and funds provided by Landis Communities. “It’s educational enrichment and surface learning,”

Pathways
said Graybill. “It’s about engaging our minds and spirits to become holistically involved in the wider community.”
Pathways Institute was established at Landis Homes Senior Living Community in 2007. Over the past 18 years, Pathways has served thousands of Lancaster County seniors seeking to expand their knowledge bases and sharpen their minds.
Pathways Institute began as an extension of Messiah Lifeways senior living in Mechanicsburg.
“We’ve grown a lot,” said Graybill. “We have a lot more people taking our programs. We have a broader array of classes. We now have name recognition, and we have teachers seeking us out instead of us beating the bushes for instructors.” For additional information, go to www.thepathways institute.org.

The Trust Plans Concert
The Trust Performing Arts Center, 37 N. Market St., Lancaster, will present the first concert in the 2025-26 Lancaster International Piano Festival on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m. The concert will feature violinist Peter Winograd and pianist Xun Pan. Winograd gave his first solo public performance at the age of 11 and was accepted at 17 as a scholarship student of Dorothy DeLay at The Juilliard School. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Juilliard. Winograd was a top prize winner in the 1988 Naumburg International Violin Competition. He has appeared as a guest soloist with numerous orchestras and in recitals across the country and abroad. Winograd has been a member of the violin and chamber music faculties of the Manhattan School of Music and the Aspen Music School since 1990. His wife, violinist Caterina Szepes, is a member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. Pan studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and Syracuse University in New York and earned his doctorate in musical arts from Rutgers University in New Jersey. He has collaborated with the American String Quartet, Hai-Ye Ni, Priscilla Lee, Dara Morales, and the Gabriel Chamber Ensemble. As a Steinway Artist, he was inducted into the Steinway & Sons Teacher Hall of Fame in 2023. He has won many international piano competitions and awards and performed in locations worldwide, including Carnegie Weill Hall and the Beijing National Centre for the Performing Arts. Pan is the director of keyboard studies at the Tell School of Music at Millersville University and is a visiting professor at many universities and conservatories in China. He is also a founding member and the co-artistic director of the Lancaster International Piano Festival.
