Speedwell Forge Park - Come for the recreation, stay for the beauty

BY JEFF FALK

Ifindeed it’s important to get out, exercise and enjoy the great outdoors, then there are few better places to recreate locally than Speedwell Forge County Park.

Situated at 480 Speedwell Forge Road, Lititz, just outside of Brickerville, Speedwell Forge Park is 415 acres of undisturbed natural beauty. Its scenic setting provides visitors the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the everyday rat race.

“First and foremost, it’s about the welfare of our citizens,” said Bob Devonshire, director of general services of Lancaster County, which oversees the operation and maintenance of the park. “People need to get out from behind their TVs or from behind their computers, go outside and enjoy the outdoors. It’s really about getting

out there and being part of nature.”

Bordered by the Pennsylvania State Game Lands of Furnace Hills and encompassing the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s Speedwell Forge Lake, the park and surrounding areas allow hunting and fishing. But Speedwell Forge Park also offers visitors opportunities for hiking, bird watching and general nature appreciation.

Visitors should also be willing to peacefully coexist with deer, several species of birds, assorted wildlife and a wide variety of plants and woodland wildflowers.

“There’s trails. There’s nature. There’s plants,” said Devonshire. “There’s a tremendous amount of things to do there. The fishing is fantastic and you can hunt in the park.”

Taking a bite out of hunger

BY JEFF FALK

Every day, the United States disposes of millions of pounds of unused food. Every day, millions of Americans go hungry.

A local organization is working toward bridging that gap between surplus and need, supply and demand.

Blessings of Hope’s mission is to end world hunger, or at least minister to the dietary needs of as many citizens of this country that it can. Blessings of Hope operates out of a 44,000-square-foot warehouse on Becker Road, Leola, and is planning

Lively cultural event will celebrate Black History Month

BY JEFF FALK

There are many great ways to celebrate Black History Month. Near the top of that list might be a performance combining song and the written word, featuring black composers and poets.

On Saturday, Feb. 25, Lancaster Catholic High School’s Fine and Performing Arts department will present a Black History Month celebration. In association with Bright Side Opportunities Center, the 75-minute show will be performed at New Creation United Methodist Church,

10 W. Farnum St., Lancaster. Admission is free. However, donations to benefit the Lancaster Catholic Fine and Performing Arts department will be accepted. Students from Bright Side STEM Leadership Academy will be featured, along with performances by violinist and pianist Michael Jamanis, percussionist Matthew Woodson, cellist Christian Sands, a string quartet from the Music For Everyone (MFE) Sound Factory and readings by Amanda Kemp and Maria Thompson Corley.

See Black history pg 2

Blessings of Hope seeks to connect food surpluses with hunger.

“It’ll be everyone enjoying and celebrating black history,” said Isiah Perry, director of the Bright Side STEM Leadership Academy.

“The arts are a true connector, and collaboration is a key to success.”

“I love the collaboration,” said Jamanis. “It’s a really fun collaboration of poetry and music. It’s meant for everyone. We’re all celebrating black history.”

February is celebrated as Black History Month in the United States. Black History Month grew from the second week of February being declared Black History Week, which was established in 1926 by historian Carter Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, as much to stop misinformation as to recognize the struggle for civil rights. For additional information about the performance contact Lancaster

Catholic’s director of Fine and Performing Arts Department, Tony Brill, at tbrill@lchyyes.org or at 717509-00310.

Matthew Woodson (left), Michael Jamanis (middle) and Christian Sands will perform during the Black History Month celebration.

Maria Thompson Corley will contribute her unique talents to the Black History Month performance.

We encourage civic and fraternal groups, schools, churches, scouts, and other local organizations to submit news releases of general interest to the majority of our readership. Primary consideration is given to dated articles of an informative nature–activities and events of local interest sponsored, presented, or planned by area organizations and institutions. Related photographs of good quality are encouraged also, but complete picture identification must be included. Undated articles of general interest are used as space permits. All articles must contain a contact

a 160,000-square-foot food processing/distribution center east of Ephrata. The organization is headed by New Holland natives and brothers David Lapp, Steve Lapp and Jake Lapp, as well as founder Aaron Fisher of Kirkwood.

“We think there’s more than enough food for people not to go hungry,” said David, Blessings of Hope’s CEO. “Basically, what we do is acquire large volumes of food and make it available to nonprofits. I’m not sure why we’re wasting so much food, but if businesses donate it instead of getting rid of it, it’s a win-win for everybody.”

Blessings of Hope services an area within a 200-mile radius of Lancaster County and, in 2020, opened a satellite operation in Campbellsville, Ky. The organization works with 200 donors and helps supply 700 partner ministries, like food banks, church pantries and other community nonprofits.

Through the direct work of its partner ministries, Blessings of Hope helps provide about 70,000 meals each day.

“Our focus is to serve the organizations that reach people in need,” said David. “It’s about being able to serve people in their time of need and get them back on their feet. It’s really hard to tell how many people we’ve reached over the years.”

Picking up and delivering food donations can be a “logistical challenge,” noted David. Blessings of Hope tackles that challenge with 50 pieces of mechanical equipment that include a fleet of trucks, along with 70 employees and an army of volunteers.

“We have a great team of people who are putting this all together,” said David. “I guess the message is ‘If you’re not sure how to change something, start out by doing something right. If we can influence the people around us, we can have an impact for the good.’”

frompg

In some ways, Blessings of Hope’s mission is already well engaged. In others, it’s still in its infancy.

Blessings of Hope’s roots can be traced to 2010, when Fisher began handing out seven boxes of food per week to local families in need. In 2020, Blessings of Hope distributed more than 65 million pounds of food.

“We knew it would grow, but not this fast,” said David. “We’ve always thought it could get big because of the availability of product. We think we’re just starting to grow. We think it could turn into a national organization serving cities around the country.”

Speedwell Forge is one of nine parks - some 2,000 acres of park land - operated by Lancaster County. It is one of Lancaster County’s most northern parks and second only in size to Lancaster County Central Park.

“I would consider it more of a passive park,” said Devonshire. “It’s more like undisturbed woodlands. It’s pretty much been kept as it’s always been. It’s remained in its natural state.”

Lancaster County has good reason to take pride in its park system. So, it follows that the county also has a great desire for residents to utilize and experience its recreational areas.

“The goal is to try and have a park within close proximity of every resident in the county,” said Devonshire. “Speedwell Forge fills that gap in the northern corridor.”

“I think the message is ‘We’re here. We’re open,’” concluded Devonshire. “We’d love to have people come out and enjoy our parks and programs. I cannot speak highly enough of our naturalists and their programs. There are tremendous opportunities within our parks.”
