Musical Motivates LCS Students to Just Keep Swimming

BY JEFF FALK

Students at Lititz Christian School (LCS) have embarked on a dramatic adventure. They are seeking a beloved animated character. But what they may discover along the way is a bit more about themselves.

“One of the most important things theater teaches is being part of a community, to feel valued,” said Jennifer Balmer, an English teacher at LCS who heads the school’s theater program. “I want (the actors) to feel they’re part of telling the story. Theater is hard work to do it well. I want them to learn hard work pays off. I ask them, ‘What do you want to put into it?’ You get out of it what you put into it, which is kind of like life.”

In New Holland, Evolution of Agriculture Equipment Continues

BY JEFF FALK

You can take the company out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the company.

Formerly known as New Holland Machine Company or Case New Holland, CNH has grown into a global conglomerate that its founders never could’ve imagined. But the company will always be linked to the New Holland area - its farming, its work ethic, its ingenuity.

Flags Across Commonwealth Journeys Through

BY JEFF FALK

Scouting America’s current flag offers a fresh, clean look that features a small image of an eagle and the colors of our country. It symbolizes the morals, commitment and tradition that Scouting America stands for.

In this particular instance, the passing, raising and lowering of that Scouting America flag represents the role that Scouting has played in the history of our nation.

“There are pride and meaning attached to all flags, and I think that’s true of the Scouting America flag,” said Logan Ginder, the marketing and membership coordinator of Scouting America’s Pennsylvania Dutch Council. “It represents Scouting and the state of Pennsylvania. I think it’s important just because we are Scouting America, and we’re one of the largest youth programs across the country. Scouting America has been present for a long time, and the mission hasn’t changed: for youths to become leaders and members of communities and for instilling ethics into our youths.”

By all accounts, Scouting America’s recent Flags Across the Commonwealth event celebrating this year’s 250th anniversary of the United States of America’s independence was a success. The local Pennsylvania Dutch Council of Scouting America, which serves youths in Lancaster and Lebanon counties, participated in the celebration during a 45-minute ceremony at the Lancaster County Courthouse, 50 N. Duke St., Lancaster, on Feb. 17.

Members of Lititz Christian School’s production of “Finding Nemo JR.” rehearse a scene.

“Here in Lancaster County, we see a lot of farms and a lot of farmers,” said Mark Lowery, the director of dealer development for CNH in North America. “Do people know our story? Certainly, people involved with agricultural production do. It goes back to, ‘Do you know where your food comes from?’ The broader population in

Lancaster County might not know the story. But there’s been a long history of agricultural production here.”

It’s a story of innovation, mergers and acquisitions and small-town values playing well on a world stage.

The roots of CNH can be traced to a New Holland barn 131 years

ago and a gentleman named Abe Zimmerman. Today, CNH, which is headquartered in Great Britain, operates 40 plants around the world; employs a total of 35,000 workers; and generates in excess of $20 billion in global revenue.

“CNH is a global brand, but a lot of people don’t know it was originally named after a town in eastern Lancaster County,” said Lowery. “We owe a lot to this local area and the innovations that made us a global brand.”

Street. “Engineering influences all the products we make.”

“As far as agriculture goes, the farmer and rancher are our primary customers,” continued Lowery. “They use our products to feed and make food. Certainly, the focus is, ‘How do we help people be more efficient?’ Farmers and ranchers have to continue to be more efficient. Our challenge is to use technology to make machines that are more efficient and make people’s lives easier. We help farmers be more profitable.”

CNH still operates a location in its 6,000-resident hometown of New Holland, at 500 Diller Road. But thanks to advances in technology, the operation looks a lot different than it did a century ago.

After Zimmerman’s initiatives were incorporated in 1903 as New Holland Machine Company, four Lancaster businessmen bought the company in 1940 and partnered with Ed Nolt, the inventor of a small square baler.

CNH’s New Holland location is a 350-acre campus consisting of five buildings - an administration building, a technical center focusing on research, development and design, a building for combine field testing, a technical training center and a home for CNH industrial capital. The local campus also operates a company farm at the site.

The New Holland location of CNH employs about 900 workers.

“The key innovation that made the site important was the square baler,” said Lowery. “That propelled New Holland as a company. It had immediate success and it had a global effect.”

During the 1990s, the New Holland enterprise became affiliated with both Ford and Fiat. In 1999, the company that is now CNH was created.

DAIRY

“I think one of the keys to the evolution is that our pace never slows down for research and development,” said Lowery, “and one of those research and development centers is here in New Holland. It’s about a lot of talented people and having them in the right places. It’s about investing in sites like New Holland and bringing in people who are passionate about the products.”

“To have a homegrown company - with local people who have supported it - make a global impact is important to New Holland and Pennsylvania,” said Lowery. “For a lot of folks, from here and across Lancaster County, this company has been very important, and I think they want to see that success continue. There are so many people who have a connection, either people who worked here or whose parents worked here.”

SOUP &

CNH manufactures off-road equipment for agriculture and construction, everything from tractors to harvesting equipment, from balers to sprayers, from utility vehicles to implements. Every product CNH makes is designed to maximize human energies.

“We have 11,000 patents registered for products that we invented or innovated,” said Lowery, a resident of Willow

The New Holland location of CNH operates a tour center and company store on site that caters to the curious. The center offers guided walking tours on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. and the company store is open from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the same days.

Chorus Plans Community Open Sing

“Finding Nemo JR.”

Along with assistance from student Ella Urquhart, Balmer is directing “Finding Nemo JR.,” a kid-friendly, spring musical being presented by student performers and support staff from LCS. The show will be staged for the public at 6:30 p.m. on both Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25, inside the Warwick Middle School auditorium, 401 Maple St., Lititz.

Tickets for the show can be purchased in advance at www .lititzchristian.net, or at the door on the evenings of the performances. Doors will open at 6 p.m.

“I do love this story. It’s a redemption story,” said Balmer. “Nemo makes a poor decision, becomes isolated and has to experience trials to grow. This story really follows the steps of an epic journey. The main characters run into all sorts of scary and loveable characters along the way that make the journey both more enjoyable and harder.”

The performance will last for an hour, and there will be no intermission.

“It’s a shorter show, and obviously it’s very family friendly,” said Balmer. “The audience should expect an uplifting story. They will see little ones work together to create this story. They might leave the show with a joyful tear in their eye. Maybe they will be wrestling with the concept that there can be too much freedom. It’s a lighthearted show, but it encourages people to think deeply as well.”

A total of 50 students in grades kindergarten through 12th are involved with the production of “Finding Nemo JR.,” 41 of whom are cast members. Some members of the cast play multiple roles.

“They are really sweet children who are eager to learn and try new things,” said Balmer. “Some are learning tap (dancing) choreography. They’re excited and they’re filled with joy and energy.”

Members of the cast include seventh-grader Paige Fox as Marlin, eighth-grader Layna Morrie as Coral, third-grader Josie

Fox as Nemo, third-grader Cubbie Antes as Pearl, second-grader Garrison Balmer as Sheldon, fourth-grader Seraphie Puniello as Tad, 11th-grader Breanna Stellato as Professor Ray, fifthgrader Reagan Lauson as Dory, seventh-grader Briella Heim as Bruce/Tad’s Mom, fifth-grader Regan Hannis as Chum, and fifthgrader Juliette Rittler as Anchor.

“I’m so excited to be Marlin in this year’s musical,” said Paige. “I’ve learned that we need the whole cast to make the show come together. I’ve also learned that acting can be hard at times, but in the end, you have an amazing show.”

“The elementary students are definitely looking up to the older high school students, just what they’re doing and how they treat each other,” said Balmer, “and I think that’s beautiful. Each age level has something to learn from the other. That’s a really rare, special opportunity. It’s been fun to watch them fit together. I tell them theater is

like a team sport.”

Work on LCS’ edition of Finding Nemo Jr. began near the end of January with auditions. From now to then, the cast and crew have been tweaking and fine-tuning their final product during 90-minute rehearsals four times each week.

“During the performances, there are so many emotions,” said Balmer. “We want to help (the students) handle their emotions. Our payoff is at the end. I think they’ll be so excited to show their family and friends what they’ve been working on. I think excitement will be the biggest emotion. When the lights go on, there’s no feeling like it.”

“Nemo has a lot of personality and feelings,” said Josie. “I’m really happy that I got to do ‘Finding Nemo JR.’ because I felt like I had no faith that I would get the part of Nemo. But now that I have, I have a lot of trust in myself and I’m really excited. I’ve learned you have to trust the other cast members.”

John Kruk to Help UDS Celebrate Community Service

BY JEFF FALK

Empathy and empowerment. Care management and case management. Life-skill training and independence promotion.

United Disabilities Services (UDS) does work worth celebrating.

“UDS serves with a lot of programs, and one of the most visible

is service dogs,” said Angela Trout, the annual gifts and events officer for UDS. “Many people come to us through service dogs. Our mission is enhancing abilities and changing lives. We help people gain independence and help people stay in their homes longer. Some of our programs are expensive to run because we provide quality services to our clients. It’s important to support the work we do.”

UDS Foundation, the fundraising arm of UDS, will present this year’s edition of its annual gala from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, at the Marriott Lancaster Penn Square, 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster. While it is UDS’ largest fundraising event, the festive gala will celebrate the organization’s 61st anniversary and serve as community outreach for what UDS does and what it’s all about.

UDS is headquartered at 2270 Erin Court, Lancaster.

“A gala is a grand celebration,” said Trout. “It’s more than a cocktail party. It is a fundraising event, but it’s elevated. It’s somewhat elegant, but not stuffy. Our gala ties in our mission to reinforce why visitors are there. They are the champions of what we do.”

That evening of April 30th will begin with mingling and hors d’oeuvres, and dinner will be served around 6 p.m. The event will include testimonials from UDS clients and volunteers.

WGAL’s Michael Fuller and Philadelphia Eagles insider Dave Spadaro will be the masters of ceremonies for the gala, but the highlight of the evening will be an appearance by personable Phillies legend John Kruk. Amid a fireside chat setting, Spadaro will interview Kruk, who is expected to spin his entertaining trademark yarns, share career highlights and relay accounts of personal challenges.

“The atmosphere is electric,” said Trout, a resident of Akron.

“People are so excited to be there. It’s a really fun vibe. It’s a very welcoming and interesting experience. In Lancaster, we don’t get a lot of opportunities to see big Philly sports stars. There’s a huge Eagles fanbase here.”

The UDS gala will also include live and silent auctions featuring entertainment packages, trips, experiences, donations from Eagles stars Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts and an autographed

Lecture, Plant Sale

The Lititz Historical Foundation will host a program at the Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz, on Saturday, April 18. Dominish Marie Miller will present “Pennsylvania’s Women on the Home Front: Their Contributions and Impact.”

Miller will speak about the contributions of women on the home front during World War II. From the steel mills of Pittsburgh to the shipyards of Philadelphia

and the factories of York and Lancaster, Pennsylvania women stepped up to fill the void left by the millions of men serving overseas.

Miller is the Third Circuit Court of Appeals librarian for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the founder of Preserving the History of Newberrytown, the organizer of the Lewisberry Area History Lovers group, and a founding board member of the Newberrytown Special Events Committee. She serves as librarian and VIS chair for the Harrisburg Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. She is also a re-enactor with the 87th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Company C, in which she portrays a second corporal. She has written two cookbooks and two local history books.

The program is free and open to the public. To register, call the library at 717-626-2255 or visit https://calendar.lancaster libraries.org/event/lititz-histor ical-foundation-129308. Seating is limited to 100 people.

“The gala has definitely grown over the years,” said Trout. “It has brought in so many new donors. The goal is to meet new people. Some people are still discovering who we are and what we do. We try to keep them involved throughout the year, and many times they become friends.”

Nearly 500 supporters, clients and their friends and families, volunteers and community members are expected to attend the UDS gala. The local nonprofit has secured the supportfinancial and otherwise - of 45 sponsors.

“We have 15 programs at UDS, and we serve over 15,000 people in 52 counties in Pennsylvania,” said Trout. “The money will go toward supporting those programs.”

Founded in 1965, UDS serves individuals 18 and older with physical and intellectual disabilities, as well as elderly adults. UDS employs nearly 400 workers, many of whom either reside or work in Lancaster.

In addition, the Lititz Historical Foundation will hold its annual plant exchange in conjunction with the Lititz Garden Club on Sunday, April 26, at 1:30 p.m. The event will take place rain or shine in the Mary Oehme Gardens, located behind the museum buildings at 137-145 E. Main St., Lititz.

The plants to exchange must be perennials and must have identification tags. Each plant must be placed in a container for transportation. When participants arrive, they will receive a ticket for each plant, and the plants must be placed in categories, such as sun, shade, exotic, bulbs, herbs, and ground cover. Each ticket may be redeemed for another plant after all plants have been sorted and the attendees have had time to browse. To learn more, email info@ lititzhistoricalfoundation.com.

“A large majority of guests are from Lancaster County, and some come with our sponsors,” said Trout. “They’re people who know us very well. We have a lot of new friends coming. We have people coming to see John Kruk.”

Event officials are hoping this year’s UDS gala will raise $300,000.

In addition to receiving program-specific state funding, UDS also conducts a fundraising golf outing at Conestoga Country Club - this year on Thursday, Sept. 17 - a bingo event for service dog funding at Lancaster Farm and Home Center in March, and quarterly lunch and learn tours.

“Fundraising is a very important part of how we operate,” said Trout. “It’s really about supporting people. When you have loved ones with needs, sometimes you just don’t know where to take them. We do provide in-home services. We want to provide people with the help they need.”

Faith UMC Sets Spaghetti Dinner

Faith United Methodist Church (UMC), 1290 Fruitville Pike, Lititz, will host a spaghetti dinner on Sunday, April 19, at two different times during the day.

Scouting America

“It was designed to unite the 67 counties in Pennsylvania,” said Ginder, “and celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and Scouting’s commitment to our community. Community pride was the vibe, and it came at a time when it may be more important than ever to show community pride. There was also a little bit of national pride involved.”

During the ceremony, members of the Pennsylvania Dutch Council raised and lowered the Scouting America flag at the flagpole at the Lancaster County Courthouse. The celebration also included addresses and remarks from local dignitaries and government officials.

About 30 individuals attended the Flags Across the Commonwealth ceremony, including members of Scouting units Pack 93 of Lititz, Troop and Pack 76 from Quarryville and Troop 56 of Strasburg.

“It was definitely a special event for the 250th anniversary of our country,” said Ginder, a resident of Elizabethtown. “It’s not something we do every year. What it should mean to the Scouts is a sense of pride in their organization.”

As part of the Flags Across the Commonwealth program, the Scouting America flag’s journey began in Philadelphia on Feb. 8, the birthday of Scouting America, formerly known as Boy Scouts of America. After it was received in Lancaster and signed by participants at the local ceremony, the Scouting America flag was passed on to Pennsylvania Dutch Council members in Lebanon, who conducted a similar local service at the Lebanon County

Courthouse on Feb. 18.

“What we’re hoping for with the whole event across the state is to celebrate our enduring ideals of freedom and civic pride,” said Ginder. “We’re reaffirming values that continue to strengthen the United States. Hopefully, the takeaway from the Scouts is that it’s important for them to be a part of their communities. It’s a celebration throughout the state, so we hope they felt like they were part of something larger.”

In 1776, the United States was established when 13 original colonies broke from British rule. In 1910, Boy Scouts of America was formed in Washington, D.C.

“We provide Scouting programs to any and all youths in Lancaster and Lebanon counties,” said Ginder. “We’re preparing youths to make ethical decisions through Scouting values.”

One of 20 in the state, the Pennsylvania Dutch Council was

chartered in 1971. Currently, more than 2,000 youths - boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 17 - are involved with Scouting America in the Pennsylvania Dutch Council.

“They’re members of our community,” said Ginder. “They’re youths we strive to serve through our programs. They’re our Scouting family.”

“Scouting is alive and active in our communities,” he added. “Some people don’t realize we’re still out there. We haven’t fallen by the wayside. We’re still a very prominent program.”

The Pennsylvania Dutch Council, which is headquartered at 245 Bloomfield Drive, Suite 212-218, Lititz, is funded through the generosity of donors, partners and business sponsors. The local council employs 11 workers, some of whom are part time, and benefits from contributions from 1,200 volunteers, many of whom work directly with Scouts.
