Family Finds Racing Is Far From a Drag
harlotte and Austin Ecks weren’t just born to drag race. They were born because of
The siblings’ parents, Brian and Nicole Ecks, met 31 years ago while competing in the Junior Drag Racing League (JDRL) in New Jersey. “The (JDRL) program started in 1993, and I started at the tail end of that year,” Nicole said. “Both of our fathers raced, so the kids now are
Brian started the following year at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park, which is where the JDRL originated.
“We kind of grew up together and raced together and then, many years later, started dating, got married and now have kids that do it,” Nicole said. “They’ve started it because we were interested, and we knew the
program existed.”
Charlotte, now 15 years old, began her racing career at Atco Raceway in New Jersey. She earned her license and competed in her first race at 9. “I used to go to Atco, and my dad would race his car, and I remember I would always want to go up and watch the juniors race,” she said. “It took me a while to know that I wanted to do it, and then I told my dad, I said, ‘Dad, I think I want to race juniors.’”
Austin, 12, did not start racing until two years ago. “At first he didn’t want to,” Brian said. “He said, ‘I just want to play baseball. I want to ride my dirt bike.’ Then we were going over to the baseball field one day and he says, ‘How long does it take to build a junior (dragster)? I think I want to race, too.’”
Austin said, “I thought it looked pretty fun, and I wanted to go fast.” Nicole noted that Austin’s learning

The staff members of Dewald Funeral and Cremation Services, a family-owned business, believe in giving back. They’re hosting their annual sneaker, socks and underwear drive through the end of November to help students in Solanco School District.
“As a family, we always ask a question when we see a need:
‘How can we help?’” said Kara Miller, office manager. “With a collection drive like this, we’re
raising awareness and, by collecting from the community, we can exponentially expand our impact. If everyone gives just a little, it makes a big impact.”
Dewald began hosting the drive in 2020 during the height of the pandemic.
“So many families had lost income due to the shutdown, and we were looking for a way to help alleviate their burden,” Kara said. She had a conversation with Mary Humphries, the guidance counselor at Quarryville Elementary School,

“I think I am most proud of the work that we have done over the years and how we have been able to expand our services and our footprint to serve more people,” reflected Dennis Steiner, president and CEO of VisionCorps, who recently announced his retirement. “That is what our mission is - to empower people who are blind

Solanco FFA Sets Fruit Sale
Solanco FFA will hold its annual fruit sale fundraiser to support FFA programs, leadership development activities, and community service projects throughout the year. Orders can be placed through Monday, Nov. 17, with fruit delivered the week of Monday, Dec. 8. A variety of fresh citrus and other fruit will be offered. Orders can be picked up at Solanco High School, 585 Solanco Road, Quarryville, or people can make arrangements to have their orders
delivered. To order, talk to any FFA member, email ffa_reporter@ solancosd.org, or call 717-3142775. A link to order online is also available on the “Solanco FFA” Facebook page.
This year, community members will also have the opportunity to purchase fruit to donate directly to the local food bank. This is a way to share fresh, healthy produce with families in need while also supporting local students and agricultural education.
and learned that more families than ever were visiting the school’s Swappe Shoppe.
“This is a place where you can give gently used clothes, and anyone can shop for free, no questions asked,” Kara explained of the stores located in each Solanco school. It’s set up during school open houses and is available by appointment at other times.
“Usually, the guidance counselor can keep a pretty good stock of clothing, but at the time, they really needed coats,” Kara remarked.
Dewald held a coat drive and collected so many children’s coats the first year, the supply lasted for years.
“The next year, she said the other things they have a hard time with are sneakers, socks and underwear,” Kara said. “She asked us if we could collect those.”
Sneakers in good condition are particularly hard to find since children tend to wear them out quickly, Kara noted, adding that both new and gently used sneakers will be accepted for the drive, along with new socks and new underwear.
Sneakers for children ages 5 to 12 are especially needed, she said, including children’s size 11 through youth size 5.
In 2023, Dewald collected 1,643 pairs of shoes, and while that number dropped a bit to 901 last year, Kara is optimistic this year’s drive will be a success.
“We have a very generous com munity,” she said.
While the program began as a way to support Quarryville Elementary students, the collection has expanded to benefit students at all of the Solanco School District elementary schools, as well as the middle school and high school.
“Quarryville Elementary students,
staff and families are deeply grateful for the incredible support we receive from community businesses like Dewald Funeral and Cremation Services,” said Humphries, noting that both Kara and her husband, Michael, are local business owners and Quarryville Elementary School parents. “The support from community members like Kara and Michael ensures that our students are cared for and confident, allowing them to focus on what matters most - learning and growing together.
People may drop off items in the foyer of Dewald Funeral and Cremation Services, 227 W. Fourth St., Quarryville, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. now through the end of November. To donate at other times or for more information, call Kara at 717-786-3530 or email her at kara@dewalds.com.

curve was relatively short since he had already been around the sport for many years.
Both siblings have enjoyed success on the track.
Charlotte is the 2025 Junior Dragster Track Champion at Maple Grove Raceway. “It was a big accomplishment, especially toward the end of the point series when it started getting stressful,” she said. “Hearing someone tell me, ‘It’s official; you’re the champion’ was like a sigh of relief. It was just so exciting, and I’m very grateful.”
Charlotte recently participated on the national stage at the NHRA Reading Nationals, representing Quarryville in the event televised on FS1, and was a finalist in the competition. “Watching it back is really cool, but it was also kind of weird seeing yourself on TV,” she said. “But it was an amazing experience.”
She can compete in juniors for three more years. “I’m probably going to race juniors up until I’m 18, and then once I get my license, I plan to race an S10, which is my uncle’s (Kevin Ecks’) race car,” said Charlotte. “I’m saving up to buy that, and then hopefully I’ll be racing that.”
Austin, a seventh-grader at Smith Middle School who also wrestles and plays baseball, is the reigning 2024 Mid-Atlantic Super Series Champion and 2024 Series Rookie of the Year. After he ages out of juniors, Austin plans to race his dad’s car. Brian still competes, but not as frequently as he used to. “We have a lot more fun watching the kids race,” Brian said.
Chassis and engine builders construct the parts, and Brian assembles the car. Charlotte and Austin are learning about the equipment. They do a lot of the maintenance at the track and gas up the cars and check the tire pressure. Charlotte’s car can go as fast as 85 miles per hour, while Austin can reach 75 miles per hour.
The JDRL uses bracket racing, so the winner is not always determined by the first racer to reach the finish line. Bracket racing is a handicapped form of drag racing where drivers predict their car’s performance, setting a “dial-in” time for a standard distance. Charlotte and Austin have raced one another one time. “This year was our first time racing each other,” she said. “I won. It was a really close race, though. He had the reaction time, and then
I think his car slowed up, so I was able to come around him, but it was a good race.”
The season runs from March to September. In the offseason, Charlotte and Austin use a practice tree hooked up to the pedal from their car to work on their reaction times.
Nicole is a big proponent of the sport. “Obviously it’s played a huge part in our lives because it’s quite literally built our family,” she said. “It’s just a program that I wish would get more, not recognition, but just for people to know about it, because we want to keep the junior numbers growing because that’s the future of drag racing. And the sportsmanship in this sport is unlike any other. It’s unmatched.”
As an example, Brian noted that parents join forces to fix dragsters even if that racer is facing their kid.
Charlotte, a sophomore at Solanco High School who is on the school’s volleyball and softball teams and is the class treasurer and a member of Student Senate, stated that her favorite part of racing is the camaraderie among the competitors. “I think it’s just the people there, the atmosphere,” she said. “Obviously, I love racing, but going there and spending time with your friends and even if you race one of your friends, there’s no bad blood. It’s just such an amazing group of people, and I love being around all of them.”
Nicole encourages parents to investigate the possibility of having their children join the JDRL. “I would say the first step is to come out to the track and see it in action,” she said. “Talk with the parents. There are parents there that have taken on families and showed them the ropes. There are always cars for sale. You can build a car. You can buy a used car. The first step is coming to the track and just seeing kind of what it’s about, seeing the kids in their element, and having fun and then just ask questions from there. … We’re fortunate

Anna Breneman and Tim Strawser promise guests will laugh and just might learn something along the way.
Breneman and Strawser are co-directors of The Promise Players’ production of “Casting Swine Before Pearls.”
The family-friendly comedy will be performed Thursday, Nov. 6, through Sunday, Nov. 9, and Thursday, Nov. 13, through Sunday, Nov. 16, at Lampeter Church of the Brethren, 1900 Lampeter Road, Lancaster.
The Thursday and Friday shows will begin at 7:30 p.m., the Saturday shows will be held at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and the Sunday shows will start at 2:30 p.m.
The Promise Players’ shows frequently sell out, so reservations are encouraged. Seating is general admission on a first-come, firstserved basis. Go to www.promise players.org to reserve tickets or call the church office at 717-464-2050
Mondays to Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Payment will be made at the door.
“‘Casting Swine Before Pearls’ is set in a small church, and it’s a
very small cast, which has been a lot of fun,” Breneman said. “The congregation and the pastor and the secretary find out that one of the church members has passed away and has left his inheritance to the church, which they’re shocked to find out. There’s a caveat to the deal, and they have to take care of his pets. They think it’s probably dogs or cats, and then they discover it’s three prize-winning swine, and their names are Mo, Larry, and Curly. They have to take care of these pigs until their passing.”
The Promise Players is a Christian theater group, a ministry of Lampeter Church of the Brethren. The troupe puts on two shows a year. The productions traditionally raise money for a Christian nonprofit. “Each show, we choose a beneficiary that sort of ties into the theme of the show in some way,” said Breneman. “For this performance, we’ve selected Love INC of Lancaster County. We chose them because they help with transportation for people who have difficulty getting to doctor’s appointments or shopping, and there’s some
reference in the show to helping the people in their neighborhood, in their backyard.”
Breneman, a Strasburg resident, has been the organization’s stage manager for seven years and is directing for the first time.
“It’s been good,” she said. “Tim is really good to work with. We’ve worked together before, obviously, because he’s directed many other shows. But it’s been a good experience. We have a really good cast.”
Strawser, who lives in West Lampeter Township, is enjoying the experience of working alongside Breneman. “It’s a pleasure working with her,” he said. “It’s going to be exciting to see what she’ll do with this.”
Strawser joined The Promise Players in 1996 as an actor and has directed eight shows. “I really enjoy the directing. I enjoy the acting, so it’s kind of kind of a bittersweet to be the co-director but also seeing the acting,” he said. “But this play is very, very funny and really, really gets into the danger of the love of money.”
Strawser added, “I think what I
love about The Promise Players is two things. One is that it touches on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but it also helps with the community when they come. It’s not like it’s something’s being banged over your head, but it’s giving them something that they can laugh about and maybe think about when they’re driving home.”
Steve Quigg of Martic Township originally auditioned for the role of Jingles but will portray pastor Vince Valentine while acting in his third show with The Promise Players. “I was just part of the background in the first one and
had a little bit more parts in the second one, and I am one of the leads this time,” he said. “It’s a little bit daunting. It wasn’t the role I actually auditioned for, but I was open to him. My dad (Walter) was a pastor, so I know what a pastor’s supposed to look like and act like, so it’s not too far off the stretch. It’s honor in that sense, but Dad never had to deal with what I’m dealing with in this (show).”
He is loving his time with the group. “I’m retired now, and so I was looking for something to get involved with in retirement, and
to achieve independence. To me, that is what we are here for.”
Steiner, who started as a VisionCorps case manager in 1984, has 42 years of experience working in the field of blind and low-vision services, including 17 years as president and CEO of VisionCorps. He was succeeded by Megan Tomsheck effective Oct. 31.
“I have been blessed to have a great leadership team here. Many of them have been here for quite some time,” Steiner noted. “Megan is an 18-year employee. I have a good mix of longevity and newer people. They are all committed to our mission. They are all passionate about their work and a good team to lead.”
Steiner was responsible for helping to establish new services during his tenure. His accomplishments include introducing youth programming to the agency and mentoring young people; expanding VisionCorps from one facility in Lancaster to additional rehabilitation and employment sites in Adams, Chester, Lebanon and York counties; and increasing the focus of rehabilitation services to include new technology offerings such as smart glasses, magnifiers and apps.
“Technology has been the game changer for people who are blind and vision impaired,” said Steiner, who is legally blind. “(There is) software that allows the iPhone or computer or read to you what is on the screen.”
He added that people can use their phones to shop for any items that they need, including food from
the grocery store. “(Technology) has opened up a lot of doors and opportunities for the blind and the visually impaired community,” said Steiner. “I can’t imagine living without my iPhone or computer because it allows a greater degree of independence.”
Steiner and his wife, Candy, reside in Lancaster Township. Steiner said he is looking forward to spending more time with his family and two grandchildren, but he added that he also plans to continue to advocate for the vision impaired.
“I am going to be involved with the agency at some level, doing some public policy work or whatever Megan asks me to do. You don’t spend your whole career and just walk away from an organization like this,” he shared. “I haven’t lost the passion for the work, but it’s time for me to step down and spend some more time with family. I felt like now was the right time.”
“Many people ask me, ‘Why did you stay at one place for so long?’ I love the organization, and I love the community,” he added. “Lancaster, central York and Chester counties are great places to raise a family. VisionCorps has given as much to me as I have given to them. It’s been a great relationship.”
Having been a visually impaired leader of an organization, Steiner has also set an example for others.
“I am a CEO who happens to be blind,” said Steiner prior to his retirement. “I want people to recognize that people who are blind can do almost anything that sighted people can do.”
