A Woman’s Concern Features Spotlighting Seeds, Food, And New Location, Expanded Services Lancaster County Kitchen Gardens

By Ann Mead Ash

By Ann Mead Ash

A Christmas postcard sent out by A Woman’s Concern shows a photo of double purple doors decorated with holiday wreaths and an “open” sign. “Our purple doors mean ‘love, compassion, and support,’” said Jill Hartman, executive director of A Woman’s Concern, which relocated from Duke Street in Lancaster city to 1102 Millersville Pike, Lancaster, in July 2018. “We painted the doors purple so our clients could find us.”

These clients are the more than 600 women who benefit from A Woman’s Concern services each year. Those services include pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, and education on healthy relationships, pregnancy, parenting, and more. “We create a loving, compassionate, nonjudgmental environment for clients, so they get all the support they need,” explained Hartman.

“All of us eat food, and many of (the attendees) will be gardeners,” shared Dirks. “When we make space for discussion, everyone can join in.”

The winter workshop, which will be held at the museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster, on Saturday, Feb. 23, will be broken into two parts. The 9 a.m. to noon session will include an interactive session on seeds native to the Americas and the Three Sisters garden method.

The move nearly quadrupled the space that A Woman’s Concern could utilize, and staff and volunteers are planning to offer more services in the future by partnering and collaborating with other community organizations. Among those services are a program called Redefined, which will aid in healing for women, and a fatherhood mentoring program called The Fatherhood Journey. Matthew Neff of Family of Restoration Ministries has already run a

fatherhood workshop, and Neff will soon become the first volunteer male client advocate for A Woman’s Concern. “I think that will make a huge difference in reaching the boyfriends, fiancés, and husbands,” added Laura Kline, marketing and communications director.

Other services that the organization will offer will include working with a local market to provide dietitians to teach prenatal and postnatal nutrition to clients. In addition, a volunteer

Laura Kline, marketing and communications director for A Woman’s Concern, holds one of many baby items available at the organization’s boutique, which is open exclusively to clients. A Woman’s Concern also provides cribs, strollers, and more in Hope House, located behind the organization’s main building on Millersville Pike.

will help the organization expand lactation services, and the Knights of Columbus has funded a part-time medical position for 24 months, along with purchasing materials to expand the CPR program, which is a family safety initiative A Woman’s Concern provides.

Offering services in both Spanish and English has been an important goal for the organization. One paid and one volunteer staff member are bilingual, and Kline has reworked the website, www.pregnancylancaster.com, to include basic information in Spanish as well as English.

Of course, more space means more opportunity to offer clients medical services as well. A room to conduct ultrasounds and space for client advocates, along with meeting and business space and offices, were all made possible by the larger, new facility.

According to Hartman, the nonprofit has been available to local women facing unplanned pregnancies since 1972, when it opened as Birthright. As A Woman’s Concern outgrew its Duke Street location, an East Chestnut Street facility was opened, but in July 2017, Harvest Bible Chapel offered its administrative offices, including two buildings on Millersville Pike to the organization. A successful 2018 capital campaign provided

funds to renovate the main building. A grant from the High Foundation will help remodel the carriage house, called Hope House, which is located behind the building, for meetings and classes.

Hope House also offers large items that clients may need, such as cribs and strollers. A boutique for smaller items is found in the front foyer of the main building. Hartman explained that as a “hand-up” organization, A Woman’s Concern allows clients to work with client advocates and receive points, which they can redeem for items they need for their babies. “Many of the items come from (area) church (members) who hold baby showers (for us),” explained Hartman. “We have a wish list on our website.”

The baby items are one more way A Woman’s Concern aims to create a welcoming and positive atmosphere for clients. “What we give here is knowledge and empowerment and love and compassion,” said Hartman. “ A Woman’s Concern will hold its annual banquet featuring Dr. Ron Archer at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster, on Thursday, April 11.

William Woys Weaver, an internationally known food historian, who makes his home in Devon.

He is the author of a number of cookbooks, including the awardwinning “Pennsylvania Dutch Country Cooking.” According to Dirks, Weaver has donated seeds to the Landis Valley heirloom seed program. She shared that Weaver became interested in seeds when he discovered that his grandfather, an avid gardener, had been working to preserve seeds from traditional plants. “(Weaver) committed to growing (the seeds) and keeping them growing,” said Dirks, who added that heirloom seeds must be grown to keep the species alive. “ When you talk about seed preservation, it means growing them in the garden on a rotating basis,” she explained.

The morning session of the upcoming workshop will be divided into three parts. Part one will explore the impact of Native American seeds. “It’s amazing how many have origins in South and Central America,” said Dirks. “(The seeds) migrated north with the

foods that are traditional among Pennsylvania Dutch families. “(The kitchen garden) was the woman’s garden close to the kitchen,” said Dirks, who noted that four-square gardens usually contained carrots, bush beans, and pole beans, with a border of medicinal herbs, along with cooking herbs. Potatoes, cabbages, and onions that were used in bulk were grown in large fields.

According to Dirks, Weaver will also spend time discussing the distinctions between types of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine. “In the third part (of the afternoon session, Weaver) will talk about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking and how it’s not all the same,” said Dirks.

“There are (foods) our grandparents and great grandparents cooked, that we don’t cook so much,” she added, noting that schnitz un knepp, a dish made with ham, apples, and dumplings, is not cooked as often as it once was.

There is a cost to attend each workshop. Readers who would like more information or would like to register may visit www.landisvalleymuseum.org and click on Education & Workshops or call 717-569-0401.

Native American peoples.” The workshop will include time for round table discussion and a presentation on Three Sisters gardening, which focuses on growing corn, beans, and squash. Dirks said that the practice originated in South America. “(Three Sisters gardening) is a Native American term and a practice the early settlers would have learned from their Native American neighbors, and it still works,” she explained.

During the afternoon workshop, Weaver will delve into the Pennsylvania Dutch kitchen garden and the foods that this type of garden brought to the tables of different regions of Pennsylvania. The fourpart session will begin with the seeds the immigrants brought with them. “Some of those seeds had also come from South America,” said Dirks, explaining that Spanish and Italian explorers brought seeds back to their homelands and that those seeds moved north through Europe and then returned to America with Pennsylvania settlers. Another segment of the afternoon presentation will focus on the

MERCHANDISER - Warwick Edition -

Mount Joy Minnie To Return For Quirky Tradition In the 10 years that Mount Joy Minnie has been popping up out of her tree stump on Feb. 2 to predict either a welcome early spring or six more blasted weeks of winter, the groundhog has been correct eight out of 10 times, according to Minnie’s “ handler,” Nancy Shonk.

With Groundhog Day 2019 fast approaching, Minnie and her posse - members of the Mount Joy Chamber of Commerce - recently gathered to promote this year’s event, scheduled for the usual early hour of 7 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the Rotary Clock, located at East Main Street and Marietta Avenue in Mount Joy. This reporter wanted to know: Does the magnificent marmot have a secret to her impressive 80 percent success rate? Minnie remained mum she was, after all, rudely roused from her hibernation for this publicity gig. And Shonk was not about to spill any secrets.

“She just has that feeling,” Shonk said. “She’s competing with the big boys, so she has to be pretty accurate.”

The “big boys” are, of course, the famous Punxsutawney Phil and Lancaster County’s own Octorara Orphie, who rarely agree on a winter forecast.

Minnie was Lancaster County’s first (and only) female groundhog, thanks to the vision of the late Bob Myers, an eccentric, fun-loving Mount Joy businessman who hosted Minnie’s first Groundhog Day appearance in 2008.

After Myers died unexpectedly in July 2008, the festivities were put on hold the following February. But in 2010, Shonk, then the Chamber’s executive director, got permission from Myers’ widow, Sharon, to restart the quirky event. It has been held every

year since, at times drawing up to 100 people, including families with children, according to Shonk.

For those readers who are still wondering: No, Minnie is not a flesh-and-blood groundhog; she’s a puppet that lives in a tree stump made of chicken wire and papier-mache. But some confusion is understandable. Take Carl Hackman Jr., Chamber president, who admitted, “It took me three years to figure out she wasn’t real.” (Oh, but her powers are real, very real indeed.)

About four years ago, a crazy hat contest was added to the fun, since Minnie herself sports a sprightly spring bonnet. Winners get Mount Joy Money gift certificates from the Chamber, which can be spent at downtown businesses.

Last year, Minnie even donned a Philadelphia Eagles football helmet. “Last year she also predicted the Super Bowl winner, too,” stated Hackman, referring to the Eagles’ 2018 championship.

So, what would the late Myers think of the event today?

“He’d love it,” answered Sharon.

“He would have probably had a parade,” added Shonk.

Kerry Meyers, Chamber coordinator, described it as “just a fun community event.”

“The amount of people that we have out here sometimes, it’s a lot of people for as cold as it is,” Meyers added. “Everyone’s usually in a good spirit.

And the hats just keep getting funnier every year, and more of them.”

As in years past, hat-wearing

fun-lovers will gather at the town clock starting at 6:45 a.m.

As the sun rises, lots of noise will be made to lure Minnie out of her tree trunk, with the hope that, unlike last year, she will predict an early spring.

Refreshments, including coffee, hot chocolate and cookies, will be provided by the Walter S. Ebersole American Legion Post 185 and a local business.

In the case of inclement weather, festivities will take place under the portico of Union Community Bank, 101 E. Main St. For more information, readers may visit www.mountjoy chamber.com or contact Shonk at 717-989-6452 or Meyers at the Chamber at 717-653-0773.

Gallery To Feature Local Artwork Study To Focus On Religions The Art Gallery at United Zion Retirement Community (UZRC), 722 Furnace Hills Pike, Lititz, will feature award-winning Lititz artist Vitaly Borisenko as the UZRC Artist of the Month during February.

Borisenko’s oil paintings are executed in a realistic, classic representational manner, although some may exhibit vivid brushwork. His paintings focus on still life with antique items, along with plein air landscape and

structures. Plein air artwork is painted outside and not in a studio. His work is executed on custom-prepared linen panels and Belgian linen canvases that he stretches himself.

Borisenko is a believer in the Alla Prima approach, which focuses on taking time daily to paint from life in one sitting. He often speaks about the practice of daily painting and has a newsletter dedicated to the practice as well.

Borisenko is active in the Lititz art community and is the vice president of the Lititz Art Association. He is also an associate member of Oil Painters of America. He won first place in the professional category at the Lancaster County Art Association’s 2016 Winter Membership Show and Best of Show Award at the 2018 Landis Woods Fine Art Show.

His works may be viewed daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the month of February.

MERCHANDISER - Warwick Edition -

By Sara D. Ulrich

Thanks to several projected snowstorms for Lancaster County in the last few weeks, many residents have visited their local grocery stores to stock up on essentials. The crew at Northwest Emergency Medical Services (NWEMS) hopes that shoppers will visit their local markets again soon, but for a charitable reason this time around.

NWEMS is planning its annual February Food Drive, which will run the entire month of February and will benefit three local food bank organizations: the Community Cupboard of Elizabethtown, the Manheim Central Food Pantry, and the East Donegal/Conoy Area Christian Food Bank. These three organizations are located within the NWEMS service area.

Donations may be dropped off at the NWEMS Manheim station, 60 W. Colebrook St., or the Elizabethtown station, 380 W. Bainbridge St. A local business has loaned NWEMS a shopping cart that will be located in the NWEMS Manheim lobby where

donations will be collected.

Community outreach manager Lori Shenk explained that when NWEMS was planning to organize its first food drive six years ago, February seemed like a good time of year. “This seems like a time of year when there is more need but less emphasis on donating,” Shenk commented.

Food drive organizers reached out to the local food banks to ascertain the greatest needs. In addition to nonperishable food items such as canned fruit, canned or instant potatoes, pasta sauce, crackers, canned tuna or chicken, jelly, ground coffee, and bottled water or juice, other donations that will be accepted include toiletry items, such as laundry detergent, shampoo, deodorant, and tissues. A full list of most-needed items can be found at www.manheimcentralfoodpantry.org or on the Community Cupboard of Elizabethtown Facebook page.

According to Shenk, volunteers gather in the first few days of March to sort the donations and divide them up between the food banks according to their

needs. After sorting, approximately two ambulance loads of food will be delivered to each food bank. “People have been very generous,” Shenk said of previous years’ donations.

Shenk shared plans for a future program that NWEMS is working to create with Lancaster EMS. The program, still in its infancy, will strive to serve individuals with diagnosis-specific nutrition needs, specifically those with strict income limitations. Initial efforts will focus on developing the program in partnership with the Community Cupboard of Elizabethtown. The service is slated to offer food items for individuals with diabetes, heart conditions, or other issues that require a specific diet. “Our hope is that we can develop a sustainable service that can be the model for expansion into other communities,” Shenk said. “This isn’t part of the February Food Drive, but we are starting to find ways to address these types of needs over the next year.”

For more information on NWEMS and its service to the community, readers may visit www.nwems86.org.

Northwest Emergency Medical Services will hold a food drive in February to benefit the Community Cupboard of Elizabethtown, the Manheim Central Food Pantry, and the East Donegal/Conoy Area Christian Food Bank.

Lady Warriors Top McCaskey, Remain Undefeated

by Vaughn Brown

Warwick’s girls have had an amazing run this season in the pool, swimming roughshod through the league and maintaining a perfect record, at least through the end of last week, after defeating McCaskey (0-4, 1-7) 101-47. Warwick (4-0, 8-0), this week, will face one more challenge in Section One co-leader Manheim Township (4-0, 8-0) in the final meet of the season to determine the outright winner.

McCaskey’s best efforts came in the relays where the Red Tornado took two of the three events, however Warwick took over in the individuals. Winning six out of eight events, the Warriors did not have any swimmers double up, instead they used a full team effort in earning the win.

Lydia Hocker, Brynne McNelis, Maya Hartzler, and Katie Jeanes began by swimming a 2:01.69 in the 200-medley relay to open up an early Warwick lead. Rachel Olson (2:02.11) then won the 200 freestyle for the Red Tornado after which the Warriors racked up five consecutive victories before McCaskey’s team of Jane Womble, Riley Kraft, Alexa Alhadeff, and Olson swam a top time of 1:52.67 in the 200-freestyle relay.

Morgan Stuhltrager (2:18.78) won the 200 IM, Hartzler (0:25.96) took the 50 freestyle, Maria Poliski (1:02.26) was

victorious in the 100 butterfly, Sophie Brandywine (0:56.05) won the 100 freestyle, and Kendall Eby (5:39.88) ended the run by winning the 500 freestyle.

Hocker represented the final win of the night for Warwick when she touched in 1:07.01 to take the 100 backstroke as McCaskey won the final two events, the 100 breaststroke and the 400 free relay.

In boy’s swimming, Warwick (2-2, 2-6) has taken some lumps, but a meet with McCaskey (1-3, 5-3) was just what the doctor ordered. In winning two relays, the Warriors helped themselves to a 91-68 victory, their second of the season. Warwick also had two individuals double up on victories in Ethan Hershey and Oliver Lance.

Lance, Nicolas Altenderfer, Robby Sabol, and Nate Young set the pace early by winning the 200-medley relay with a time of 1:51.03. Hershey then won the first of his two events when he touched in 2:11.56 to take the 200 IM before winning the next-to-last race, the 100 breaststroke, in 1:07.59.

Lance’s two event effort began when he logged a 1:07.59 in the 100 breaststroke, and ended with a top race time of 0:53.5 in the 100 butterfly. Earlier, he teamed with James Moll, Hershey, and Theodore Lance to win Warwick’s second relay of the night, the 200 freestyle, with a time of 1:35.89.

McCaskey did win the 400-freestyle relay with Christian Fulton, Cameron MacKilligan, Owen Woodard, and Ed Freeman ending in 3:44.58 while Freeman (0:23.25) also took the 50 freestyle as well as the 500 freestyle (5:03.90). Theodore Lance (1:58.09) won the 200 freestyle for Warwick while Moll (0:53.15) took the 100 freestyle.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL For the Warwick girls, the playoff watch is over. They concluded last week with their fifth loss in a row and their fourth consecutive league defeat in a 48-43 come back win

by Ephrata on Friday night that clinched the second playoff spot for the Mounts.

Needing to win out and have Ephrata lose each of the final three league matchups, the lady Warriors turned a one-point deficit into a 43-36 Warwick advantage in the fourth quarter but were unable to overcome the Mount’s defense which took advantage of eight turnovers during that span to pull out the victory.

Led by Lauren Pyle’s 20 points, Warwick slowly chipped away at Ephrata’s lead which began at 18-12 in the first quarter and dwindled to 28-25 by the half, before the ladies were able to tie the game at 33-33 with just under three minutes on the clock in the third. Reagan Longridge

(8) drained her lone three-point shot of the night to start the fourth and put Warwick ahead 38-36 before Ephrata’s last-minute heroics put the game to bed.

Pyles point total included four three-pointers and a 2-5 effort at the line. Lailani Batty added seven while Jess Williamson, Emily Williamson, Abby Rodgers, and Elise Balmer each had two apiece.

Earlier in the week Warwick took on Section Two leader Elizabethtown in an attempt to gain some traction in its downward slide, but to no avail. Marena Lonardi’s game high 17 points helped the Bears to a 43-29 defeat of the Warriors.

A stingy defense held Warwick to single digit scores in each quarter of the game and allowed only one player to reach higher as well. Pyle, who bucketed only two shots from the field, one from long range, went 5-6 at the line to lead the Warriors with 10 points.

The Bears had Warwick back on its heels early, turning an 11-5 first quarter lead into 25-11 at the break. While just barely getting the better of them in the third with an 8-6 advantage, Warwick had no answer for the Bears who kept rolling through the section.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL Meanwhile, the boys suffered their first league loss of

The Lancaster Firebirds Youth Hockey Association invites boys and girls to Lancaster Ice Rink on Saturday, February 23rd for a Try Hockey for Free clinic as part of Come Play Hockey Month.

MERCHANDISER - Warwick Edition the season when the Bears scored a 59-51 upset over the Warriors last Tuesday in Elizabethtown. On a tear since losing to Warwick earlier in the month, the home team managed a 30-20 lead at the break and were able to hold on despite a spirited effort by the Warriors at the end of the game.

Joey McCracken scored 16 for Warwick and Brock Fassnacht added 11 in a game where the Warriors began inching closer after halftime, knocking the score lead down to 39-35 near the end of the third quarter, but a 6-0 run by the Bears to close out the frame made it 45-35 to start the fourth.

Warwick attacked all game from the outside sending 27 shots from behind the arc but only sinking eight of them, half of which came from McCracken alone. Warwick’s chance came late in the game when they were able to pull within four points with just under a minute remaining but failed to score after that.

A win over Elizabethtown would have given Warwick the Section Two Crown, but with the loss, the boys needed to win two more league games in order to give the Warriors sole possession of the title.

On Friday they took one step closer to winning the section for the first time in 28 years with a 68-41 victory over Ephrata.

McCracken exploded for 30 points with a trio of treys and a 7-10 night at the foul line to push Warwick one win closer to that elusive championship.

Opening up a 41-23 lead by halftime, the Warriors wanted to leave no doubt about just what they are looking to accomplish.

Seemingly leaving their latest loss in the rearview, Warwick never allowed Ephrata to hit stride, despite a 13-point effort by Xavian Rodriguez and a perfect 8-8 team effort on free throws. Warwick opened up its lead to 56-27 at the end of the third and had no problems closing the deal on another victory.

Trysten George and Ryan Shirk each

netted nine points in support of the win with each draining one threepointer. Fassnacht (7), Colby Martin (3), Nolan Rucci (3), Tate Landis, (3), Caleb Schmitz (2), and Conor Adams (1) all contributed.

BOWLING With only two losses on the season, Warwick (68-2, 75-2) has its sights set on a Section Two championship and a key cross-over matchup with Section One rival Penn Manor (42-21, 42, 21) last Thursday was a critical step towards that goal. Despite a tight first game that coach Neal Vital called a, “…classic battle of attrition,” the Warriors finished strong and came away with a 7-0 victory. “From there, we took control and won the last two games by big margins,” added Vital.

It was Isaac Erickson’s 254, which included seven consecutive strikes, and a seventh frame in which all five Warwick bowlers struck, that helped push them to a slim, 11 pin win in that first game, 967-956. Ashley Sham rolled a 224 along with Carter Snavely (119), Tyler Miller (172), and Tony Lutz (198) as well.

Gaining momentum from there the Warriors won games two and three handily, 1001-905, and 1063900. Rylan Beebe substituted for Snavely after the first game, rolling a 170 and 188, while Erickson finished with a 199 and 233 for a match high 686 series followed by Sham (180, 244-648), Lutz (234, 202-634), and Miller (218, 196-586) “The 7-0 sweep allows us to maintain our six-point lead over Elizabethtown heading into (our) showdown with the Bears at Dutch Lanes,” noted Vital. “It’s going to be an exciting last two weeks of the regular season.”

Second place Elizabethtown (62-8, 78-13) was the next match scheduled for Warwick with the two teams not yet having played at press time.

WRESTLING Warwick (3-4, 4-6) had one match last week before heading into the L-L League tournament this past weekend. The Warriors hosted

Hempfield (5-2, 9-3) last Wednesday night and briefly held the lead before the Knights reclaimed it and used a trio of falls in the middle weights to pull away for good, defeating Warwick 42-22.

A 12-3 major decision by Charles Lumene at 182 pounds to start the match put Warwick up 4-0 before a Chase Mathias pin at 195 and a 6-3 Luke Dreyer decision at 220 opened up a 9-4 Hempfield advantage. Hayden Benner brought it back to 9-7 with a 3-0 decision over Zach Bicevskis at 285, however, it was 21-7 before Warwick scored another team point.

Logan Bortner earned a 12-7 decision at 126 and Christopher Connor got the fall over Jake Chasser at 138 to make it 24-10, but then Hempfield

owned the next three bouts, with falls from 145-160 to pull ahead 42-16.

Warwick received a forfeit at 285 to close down the match.

Warwick has a new League Champion and it is Roland McClune. Wrestling at 195 in this year’s L-L League Championship which was held Friday and Saturday at Garden Spot High School, McClune secured gold by defeating L-S’s Johnny Franklin 53 in Saturday’s finals. On the way to securing the title, McCLune beat McCaskey’s Justin Pacheco 12-0 in the first round, then took out Ben Sola of Cocalico 9-0 in the quarterfinals and decisioned Hempfield’s Chase Mathias 9-6.

David Hnasko scored a fourth-

place finish in a 7-6 loss to Donegal’s Will Small at 170 pounds after falling 10-7 to Lebanon’s Dallin Ocasio in the semifinals. Hnasko advanced to the quarterfinals after scoring an :18 fall over Columbia’s Derek Neil where an injury to Elizabethtown’s Javan Thomas sent him into the semis.

Lumene also scored a fourth-place finish at 182 after his

january 30, 2019 - 9

semifinal loss to Penn Manor’s Nicholas Baker placed him in the third-place bout against Logan Davidon from L-S. Lumene took him into the third period, but succumbed to a fall at the 4:40 mark. Lumene earned a fall over Hempfield’s Gordy Hoover in the pigtails before beating Isiah Grant from CV 5-2, and pinning Trey Donmoyer from ELCO in the quarterfinals.

Columbia Creative Factory Launches Building Campaign

The Columbia Creative Factory, which has been operating out of the building at 247 Locust St., Columbia, since 2016, has started a campaign together with the Lancaster Creative Factory to purchase the building as its permanent space. Columbia Creative Factory is a nonprofit organization that aims to cultivate creativity by offering shared arts experiences to the community with programming for children, youths, adults, veterans, and more.

By Chelsea Peifer

The Columbia Creative Factory has begun a campaign to raise funds to purchase the building that it currently occupies at 247 Locust St., Columbia. A nonprofit organization geared toward cultivating creativity through shared arts experiences, the Columbia Creative Factory is an offshoot of the Lancaster Creative Factory and has been offering art classes and programming for children, youths, and adults since 2016.

Mychal LaVia, who facilitates workshops at the Columbia Creative Factory, said that the use of the space had been donated to the organization for the past two years, but the building went up for sale in 2018. The Creative Factory team decided to begin the process of fundraising in hopes of purchasing it as a permanent location.

Otherwise, the group will need to find a new location when the building sells.

According to Andrea Campbell of the Columbia Creative Factory, the cost to purchase and make a few needed upgrades to the building will be $425,000, which means that the organization must raise $275,000 by Wednesday, May 1.

“We will then be able to get a mortgage for $150,000,” Campbell stated. “The income from studio rentals will cover the mortgage payments.” Thus far, the

organization has obtained pledges for $55,000 toward the project.

The approximately 11,000square-foot space currently has a first-floor gallery and a community space that is utilized for programming, as well as basement storage and two levels of upstairs studio space that can be rented out to artists. Upgrades to the building will include making the space ADA-compliant and adding new ADA-compliant restrooms.

Weekly art programs for students at the Columbia Boys and Girls Club - which is conveniently located right across the street at 248 Locust St. - are offered at the Creative Factory on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Writeface, another nonprofit group that offers creative expression workshops for veterans and their family members at no charge, also meets at the site.

The Columbia Creative Factory frequently partners with the Columbia Borough School District (CBSD), Our Lady of the Angels School, and other local businesses and community groups.

Kevin Lehman, founder and director of the Lancaster Creative Factory, located at 580 S. Prince St., Lancaster, said that continuing to offer community work space and programming is a major part of the plans for the Columbia Creative Factory as the team dreams of owning its current operating space.

Team members also hope to offer even more programming for adults and families in the Columbia area.

LaVia said that seeing the difference the Creative Factory has made in the community during the past two years has been exciting, and he hopes to see the positive effect continue to gain momentum going forward.

“We’re really interested in creativity and what it can do for people, even as far as its healing potential,” Lehman said. “People can use creativity, so wherever we can help them to do that we’d like to bring more opportunities. We’ve got ideas (for programming and other events), but it’s really flexible and based on what the community needs.”

“It’s really a community space, and we really feel like we’re here for the community,” said Lehman, adding that the team members at the Creative Factory believe they can be a part of the spark that draws more people to Columbia for all that the borough has to offer.

To donate to the Columbia Creative Factory building campaign, interested individuals may visit https://columbiacreativefactory .org/. A short film detailing the building campaign and the organization’s community efforts may also be viewed at the website, as well as information about fundraising events that are currently in the planning stages.

Activities Planned At Park The Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation will offer programs to the community. Unless otherwise noted, there is a per-person fee for the programs, which will take place at the Environmental Center in Lancaster County Central Park, 1 Nature’s Way, Lancaster. Registration and payment are required by noon on the business day before the event, unless noted otherwise.

A Winter Night Hike will be offered on Friday, Feb. 1, from 7 to 8 p.m. The easy hike along

the Scout Trail is open to people of all ages.

G Is for Groundhog! will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2. A naturalist will share longstanding traditions and natural history relating to the familiar local rodent. Participants will take a short walk to see groundhog holes and look for signs of activity. Children are welcome to make a groundhog craft at the end. Participants should dress for the weather and for a short walk over uneven ground.

A program on dinosaurs will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. on Feb. 2. Participants will learn what scientists have been able to discover about dinosaurs that lived long ago.

A Munchkin Science - Winter Hike will be offered to children ages 3 to 5 on Tuesday, Feb. 5, from 1 to 2 p.m. A naturalist will lead participants on a winter hike along the Scout Trail near the Environmental Center.

Children will spend time outdoors and must be dressed appropriately.

Book Discussion Group Sets Schedule Exploring, Growing Together, a book discussion group at Lititz United Methodist Church (UMC), 201 E. Market St., Lititz, will continue its 2018-19 series, which aims to help people explore beliefs in a safe discussion environment.

The group meets on Thursdays on the lower level from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Attendees should use the lower-level parking lot entrance to the building.

On Feb. 7, 14, and 21, Evie Bergey will lead the discussion “Hillbilly Elegy, A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis” by author J.D. Vance. The book shares an account of growing up in a Rust Belt town and offers a look at the situation of America’s white working class.

In the case of inclement

weather, the group will follow the Warwick School District schedule; if there is a delay or school is closed, the group will not meet that day.

Individuals do not have to be readers to join in the discussions.

Each person must acquire the materials to read. Participants are welcome to bring a bag lunch to eat during discussions, if they wish.

Loomers Share The Love

By Chelsea Peifer

Every weeknight evening in the foyer of the James Buchanan apartment complex at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, a dozen or so individuals gather to loom knit. Known as the Masonic Village Loving Loomers, the group began meeting together two years ago after two women discovered a common interest in loom knitting and helping others. They began meeting casually in the library to create hats to donate for local, national, and international needs.

As more people noticed what the women were doing and wanted to take part, they decided to move their nightly meetings to the roomier foyer to accommodate the growing group. “It’s friendship, getting together and laughing, and it’s a wonderful social outlet to do something good for someone else,” said Mary Jean Risser, who helped to establish the club.

Not everyone attends every night, but there is always a group knitting together for about an hour - give or take. “We are a very close-knit group,” said Betty Deibert with a laugh. Club members Donald and Emma Hoover have taken on the role of providing a bit of entertainment for the knitters, whether that be a song or a brief reading to open their time together.

Other members of the group include Ann Colangelo, Dianna Taggart, Lynne Brenneman, Joan Firth, Dee Molinari, Twila Shreffler, Jean Saam, Millie Jamison, Lilly Campbell, Edna Sloan, Chris Hornberger, Carolyn Matthews, and Wanda Roth.

In the two years that the Loving Loomers have been gathering, they have made a total of 1,759 hats - and counting - that have been donated to folks in need including babies, cancer patients, and school children.

The Loving Loomers also donate items to Elizabethtown Community Housing and Outreach Services (ECHOS), a not-for-profit social service agency that supports individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or are in need of services in the Elizabethtown, Rheems, Bainbridge, Mount Joy, Marietta, and Maytown area. In 2018, the Loving Loomers were recognized for their volunteer efforts by Lancaster General Health - Penn Medicine.

All of the yarn that the Masonic Village Loving Loomers use is donated, and each member of the group provides his or her own loom to use to create hats. Looms of various sizes are used, depending on whether the hats are for babies or adults.

Some members work on scarves, quilts, and other projects at the meetings as well. The time that it takes to complete a single hat can vary based on a person’s level of experience and the complexity of the chosen design, explained Deibert, who joined the club after noticing and becoming intrigued by the members’ regular meetings.

“I like the friendship and caring and the camaraderie,” shared Deibert. “It’s a family, really.”

The Loving Loomers is one of the many resident-organized clubs on the campus of Masonic Village. To learn more about Masonic Village, readers may visit https://masonicvillages.org.

Spotted Lanternfly Quarantine Information Posted The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is encouraging businesses to obtain the required spotted lanternfly permit to ensure they are complying with the spotted lanternfly quarantine orders.

As the next phase of the spotted lanternfly life cycle gears up, now is an ideal time for businesses to learn how they can jumpstart this spring’s fight.

There is no cost to businesses to obtain a permit. Under the law, businesses in Pennsylvania need to take the online permit training and exam and receive a permit for their vehicles. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture continues its work to contain and minimize the spread of the spotted lanternfly while also keeping commerce flowing in Pennsylvania.

In November 2017, 13 Pennsylvania counties - Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, and Schuylkill - were placed under quarantine to help stop the spread of the spotted lanternfly.

States with spotted lanternfly populations are also required to follow the permit requirements for Pennsylvania. This will help prevent the movement of the pest from other states into Pennsylvania.

The spotted lanternfly permit training teaches business owners, managers, and designated employees how to comply with the quarantine - an important legal designation to help stop the spread of spotted lanternfly - to ensure each

of their employees are complying with the law. The quarantine order directs businesses, residents, and county authorities to follow guidelines to prevent the movement of the certain articles that contain any living stages of the spotted lanternfly, including egg masses, nymphs, and adults such as logs, stumps, or any tree parts; nursery stock; crated materials; and trucks or vehicles not stored indoors.

By investing time and personnel to inspect vehicles to safeguard against transporting insects, people can help to ensure this pest does not reach farther beyond those counties that are already quarantined.

As part of the spotted lanternfly quarantine agreement beginning on Wednesday, May 1, The Department’s Bureau of Plant Industry will begin to perform inspections and verification checks to confirm that businesses are properly permitted. Failure to take the permit exam and educate employees could result in possible penalties and fines.

The permit training and testing can be accessed through Penn State Extension by visiting https://extension.psu.edu/spotted -lanternfly-permit-training. For information regarding permitting, readers may contact slfpermit@pa.gov. To learn more, readers may visit www.agriculture .pa.gov/spottedlanternfly, www.aphis.usda.gov/hungrypest /slf, and http://extension.psu .edu/spotted-lanternfly.

…and of course, so do older people.

People read he Merchandiser, it’s a fact.

Young people, old people and everyone in between. It’s no secret you can target demographic groups on the internet… and that’s great.

But don’t forget about media mix. It’s as important in advertising as it’s always been.

OK, so print advertising isn’t as exciting and sexy as some of the digital options out there. Advertising in he Merchandiser has never been sexy…just effective. And it’s just as effective as it’s always been!
