PAD trains dogs to make a difference BY JEFF FALK
S
tatistically, dogs are the most popular pet in America. T hrough the years, dogs have become humans’ best friends through a symbiotic relationship that revolves around service. No one has to tell Phoenix A ssistance Do gs of Central Pe n n s y l v a n i a ( PA D ) a b o u t canine service and its importance. The local nonprofit has built its reputation by filling a need for assistance dogs. “I believe dogs have a powerful impact on society,” said PAD director and founder Linzey Zoccola. “For children, it’s as a companion. Recent studies have shown that interacting with dogs can strengthen immune systems. We have so many roles for working dogs. The physical and emotional roles that dogs play in families’ lives are so important.” PAD, which recently moved
from 30 Copperfield Circle, Lititz, to 55 New St., Ephrata, trains and places assistance dogs with individuals with disabilities. PAD also instructs people on how to properly care for and work with assistance dogs through a mentorship program.
“When I was 16, I got my first service dog. I wanted to give that gift to other people with disabilities.” “Assistance dogs have been trained to help an individual with a disability with a task,” said Zoccola. “They can perform on a cue. They can help guide a blind person, respond to a seizure, open a door, guide an individual to an exit or guide them to a car.” It typically takes 18 to 24 months to train an assistance
dog. For the most part, PAD works with dogs 3 years old or younger and generally with dogs from the Labrador retriever, golden retriever and standard poodle breeds. “They are typically the breeds that are easiest to train,” said Zoccola. “They want to be followers. They’re accepted by the community, and they’re a fit size-wise for most clients. But each dog is different.” It costs anywhere between $15,000 and $20,000 to train an assistance dog, but PAD places its assistance dogs for about $2,500. That difference is made up through fundraising and donations from the community. “I love what we do, but it’s exhausting,” said Zoccola. “The pressure of fundraising is something I don’t think I understood when I first started. But I have realized that this is my calling and it’s work that needs to be done.” And the need is great. PAD currently has a waiting list of

ODC to celebrate 75 years of good work BY JEFF FALK
Employment can be considered an honor and privilege, and some believe that everyone should have equal access to work. It’s a belief that Occupational Development Center (ODC) has grown into over these last 75 years. “It’s a situation where we’ve all had great jobs we’ve loved,” said Ken Mueller, ODC’s public relations and development
manager. “But we’ve all had jobs we don’t love. I got to go to work today, and I enjoy what I do, even though there are challenges. A lot of people don’t want to hire individuals with disabilities. ... Our folks want to do their jobs. They don’t complain about work. They complain when they don’t have the work.” Located at 640 Martha Ave., Lancaster, ODC trains and helps employ individuals with emotional and mental disabilities. See ODC pg 2
Hear what Patrick Reynolds’ illustrations have to say BY JEFF FALK
Illustrators tell stories or re-create events by adeptly combining drawings, words and ideas. Their tools include pens, chalk, memory, perspective and flair. Patrick Reynolds is an illustrious illustrator. “I use the term writer/illustrator,” said Reynolds. “I want to tell interesting stories in an amazing way, highlighted by some delightful drawings. On a scale of one to 10, I’m a 10 storyteller. I tell stories your history teacher has never heard of. I’ll take history and illustrations, combine them and flush out a whole story.” Reynolds will bring his unique talent and style to the Lititz Historical Foundation, 137-145 E. Main St., for a “chalk talk” on Saturday, Feb. 17, at 1:30 p.m. The Patrick Reynolds’ chalk talk at the Lititz audience should expect Reynolds to spin a number of Historical Foundation in February promises to See Patrick Reynolds pg 5 be entertaining, engaging and educational.

On Thursday, Feb. 1, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., ODC will recognize its 75th anniversary with a Founder’s Day celebration and open house. Mueller will open the festivities with a short talk on the history of ODC, and state and local government officials will be on hand to present citations and proclamations. Tours of the facility will be given, and light refreshments will be served. “Our organization was started by two ladies (Marian R. Headrick and Olivia Stoner) who had relatives with intellectual disabilities, and they weren’t happy with how society treated people with disabilities,” said Mueller. “There was no special education at that time. The original name was the Help-Self School, and eventually it became known as the Child Development Center.” The Child Development Center was designed to provide instruction to children with disabilities in an attempt to assimilate them into the community. “In 1958, the state mandated special education in schools, and there wasn’t a need for what we were doing,” Mueller added. “That’s when we made the shift to the occupation center. What we do has changed over the years, but we’ve been doing it for a long time.” Typically, ODC trains young individuals with disabilities who have graduated from high school

around the age of 21. ODC accepts those people around age 24, after they’ve had three years to search for employment on their own. Currently, ODC is working with 35 individuals with disabilities from all over Lancaster County. At one time that number was over 100 individuals. “At the base level, our clients are getting a paycheck,” said Mueller. “There’s pride that comes from earning a paycheck. There’s pride that comes from doing a job and doing it well. We want to bring them a level of independence. Some live at home. Some live in group settings. Some live as individuals.” ODC par tners with local businesses to develop skills and confidence, in both in-house and
community settings. “The idea is to get them out in the community and get them to know what they like to do,” said Mueller. “We have helped a lot of individuals over the years. But we’re not just helping the individuals; we’re also helping the families. They see the difference it makes helping just that one individual.” “These individuals are no different than you and I,” Mueller continued. “They have dreams. They have passions. They have the same interests we have. They should be able to seek employment. ... We’re here to assist them and enable them and help them find their way through life.” For additional information about Occupational Development Center, go to www.odcenter.org.

The nonprofit relies heavily on five volunteer puppy raisers to work with the canines. “These dogs make an impact on other people’s lives,” said Lindsay Edwards, PAD’s breeder coordinator. “Time is the most invaluable resource, and it can impact the community,” said Zoccola. “Our program has seen a drastic downfall of support - donations and volunteers - since COVID.” After working at Susquehanna Service Dogs for nine years, Zoccola founded PAD in 2009. “My friends encouraged me to train service dogs,” said Zoccola. “I’m in a wheelchair full time, and when I was 16, I got my first service dog. I wanted to give that gift to other people with disabilities,

Human trafficking is happening right here in our backyard, and North Star Initiative is working to expose the issue and support the victims. The organization will host Welcome to the Battle, an event to spread awareness and information about the topic, on Tuesday, Jan. 30, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the LCBC Manheim campus, 2392 Mount Joy Road. The evening will feature experts from all sectors of the human trafficking field, who will provide information on the latest tactics traffickers are using, how to identify trafficking and what to do when trafficking is suspected. “We annually host this event, inviting partner organizations to join us to share their programs with attendees and provide a comprehensive picture to our community of the many people who participate in the battle to end trafficking,” explained Melinda Clark, executive director of North Star Initiative. “Along with the displays, we invite experts in the field to a panel where they share their insights around a particular
topic. This year we are focusing on answering questions about traffickers’ recruiting tactics and barriers that could prevent someone from exiting the situation in which they’re being exploited.” The panel will feature detective Kevin Quinter, a member of the Anti-Trafficking Task Force and expert on preventing online child exploitation; Mandy Billman, director of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Counseling Center of the YWCA, with more than 20 years’ experience caring for victims; Celeste Hutchinson, North Star’s clinical program director, who has extensive experience in trauma healing and vulnerable demographics; and Andrea McHenry, executive director of F.R.E.E. in Berks County, with more than 10 years of experience in outreach and care for women with lived experience of being trafficked. “The speakers are deeply knowledgeable, invested professionals who have so much to offer,” Clark shared. “Trafficking is a topic about which we see a great deal of misinformation, and we desire our community to be equipped, educated and prepared to respond.

“A little bite of heaven” BY CATHY MOLITORIS
“Our fastnachts are unique,” said Betty Mahan, a member of the fastnacht committee at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Columbia. “These are handmade, not made by a machine, so no two are alike. It’s just like stars - each one is unique.” Holy Trinity will host its 100th annual fastnacht bake beginning Monday, Feb. 12. The sale will continue on Tuesday, Feb. 13, and
on Mondays and Wednesdays for the next four weeks, wrapping up on Wednesday, March 13. “We call them little bite of heaven,’” said committee member Paul Resch. Added committee member Jim Knapp, “They’re so good. They are different than doughnuts because they are made with potato and yeast. We fry them in vegetable oil, and then we serve them by the dozen, plain or glazed.”

Over the several weeks of the sale, hundreds of volunteers will create the fastnachts, and the organizers are always looking for additional help. “We especially need help with rolling,” said Mahan. “There’s a certain way you roll, and if they are not rolled right, everything goes downhill.” She noted that no experience is necessary to volunteer. “There are people here who have been doing this for a long time, and they’ll teach volunteers,” she said. “It’s on-the-job training.” Shifts begin as early as 4 a.m., but help is particularly needed beginning about 7:30 or 8 a.m. “You don’t have to commit for
a long shift,” Mahan said. “You can come for an hour or two.” Committee member Karen Sahd oversees volunteers who come in the night before each bake to prep the dough using the 100-year-old recipe. Resch estimates that volunteers will make 6,300 dozen fastnachts this year - or more than 75,000. “That puts it in perspective, 75,000,” he said. “You could fill a football stadium and give everyone a fastnacht.” Church members put together a history of the fastnacht bake in honor of the 100th anniversary, and Resch shared a little bit about the first bake. “In 1924, they had a fastnacht social,” he said. “It wasn’t a takeout
sale. People came into the church, and there was dancing, and they raised $615 toward the construction of our new church, which broke ground in 1926. In today’s prices, that’s over $11,000.” Proceeds from the fastnacht sale will be used for maintenance and upkeep of the church and for projects at both the church and Our Lady of the Angels Catholic School (OLA). Resch noted that the fastnacht bakes are always fun, with camaraderie and fellowship shared among generations. “I’m always impressed by the students from OLA and Lancaster Catholic who come here before school to help,” he said. The committee members
reminded people to order early because the fastnachts always sell out. “Our fastnachts are artisan,” Sahd said. “I think that’s why they are popular, because they’re not available all the time. They’re a special treat.” Orders for fastnachts will be taken online only this year and will begin at https://holytrinityco lumbiapa.com/shop/ on Monday, Jan. 29. Doors will open at 10 a.m. each day for pickup at the side entrance of the school, 404 Cherry St., Columbia. Orders not picked up by 1 p.m. will be resold on a first-come, first-served basis.

A place to call home
Jon Barrett (second from right) and his wife, Sarah (third from right), with members of Grace Community Fellowship BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Grace Community Fellowship may be a church, but pastor Jon Barrett wants the building to serve as something else as well. “Our mission is to make this a place you can call home,” he said. “And what is home? It’s a place you can dwell in, a place you can be comfortable and a place you can feel relaxed and welcome.” Barrett became pastor at the church, located at 1483 N. Colebrook Road, Manheim, last summer. Over the past few months, he’s been working on encouraging people to walk through the doors. “My heart hurts for how many people in our community are struggling with loneliness,” he said. “People have also lost their trust for the church. I want our community to know they can come here, and they will feel love. Our church family is so warm, and I want to share that with our community.” While Barrett is focused on the Bible and bringing the Word of God to people, he also wants to meet people where they are in their lives. “People are looking for a place to go and be with other people, a place to belong,” he said. “As a pastor, my heart is to see people come to know Jesus. I want people to know the Lord loves them.” Before Barrett became pastor, the church had been without a permanent leader for more than a year. He noted that although the congregation is small, the church has a long history and a strong foundation. “The people in this congregation are so loving,” he said. “My congregation really inspires me.
When people come in, they will see smiling faces and friendly people. They are not judgy. They’re real, and we want people to come as they are.” His vision for the church expands beyond Sunday morning worship. “Manheim doesn’t currently have a hub or one place people can go for everything they need,” he said. “We’d like to be a place people can come and lives can be changed. Times are tough, and every one of us is broken in some aspect. All of us need healing in some form or another. We’re inviting people to come and be broken with us together. We want to get down to the root of issues and help change lives rather than just put a Band-Aid on problems.” Along with worship service on Sundays at 10:30 a.m., Grace Community Fellowship offers Sunday school for people of all ages at 9:30 a.m. A men’s group meets on the first Monday of each month, and a ladies’ group holds quarterly events. The congregation also hosts fellowship meals throughout the year. Barrett noted that although the church members welcome anyone, he hopes people who come to the church will be ready for change. “We want anybody to come as they are, but we don’t want them to stay as they are,” he explained. “We want them to know the life-transforming power of Jesus and the life-transforming power of relationships. If you really need love and you’re not afraid to receive it, we can be that place in our community.” For more information, visit https://gcfmanheim.org.
Patrick Reynolds from pg 1 engaging yarns, including ones about Milton Hershey and The Buckshot War. The 30-minute presentation is free to attend. “The tools I use depend on the medium,” said Reynolds, an 83-year-old resident of Willow Street. “For most of my illustrations, I use pen and ink and a computer for coloring. But for the chalk talk I’m doing, I’ll be using charcoal, because it’s very dark and you can see it from the back of the room. The illustrations I draw will coincide with the stories I’m telling at the time. I promise an entertaining afternoon of amusing ‘gee whiz’ stories adapted from the localized historical comic strips that I’ve done over the past half century.” Reynolds continues to lead a most colorful life, both literally and figuratively. Most of his productive career has been spent creating comic strips like Pennsylvania Profiles, Big Apple Almanac, Texas Lore and Flashbacks. His works have been printed in newspapers across the country, including The Washington Post. Reynolds has also produced portraits, caricatures and handpainted signs, and he’s sold over 100,000 total copies of his 40 books. “My subject matter is history, and my style is realistic and reminiscent of the old EC Comics and Classic Illustrated,” said Reynolds. “My narrative style is influenced by Damon Runyon and O. Henry. I’ve always liked history. You get better as you go along in the style you want to do. I’ve lived through many critical historical events in my lifetime.

went through to do this kind of work.” Born in Pottsville, Reynolds graduated from Minersville High School and attended the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. Reynolds earned a Master of Fine Arts from Syracuse University. Reynolds served as an aerial reconnaissance officer in the United States army and flew over 300 missions in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. He began illustrating in 1975 at the age of 34. Reynolds retired his weekly Flashbacks feature for The Washington Post in December of 2022. “But I’m still illustrating,” he said. When asked how long he can continue doing it, he replied quickly, “until I die.” To register for Reynolds’ illustration presentation, dial 717-6622255 after Saturday, Feb. 3. Copies of Reynolds’ books will be available for purchase after the talk.
