Welcome to the Battle aims to disarm the enemy
BY JEFF FALK
You’re invited to a fight, a confrontation between good and evil, a struggle for lives.
In the war against human trafficking, the North Star Initiative (NSI) event Welcome to the Battle is a preemptive strike. It is an attempt to deal the enemy a blow before he or she can mount an offensive.
“The battle is to end human trafficking in our community,” said Melinda Clark, NSI’s chief executive officer. “Our community doesn’t want trafficking to happen here, and it does. The battle line is long, and everyone has a chance to step up and be a part of the battle. Part of the battle tactics is to know what it looks like and have everyone know what to do when they see it.”
Welcome to the Battle is NSI’s annual panel discussion that involves experts from all areas
of the front lines providing facts, dispelling misconceptions and spreading information on the state of human trafficking in Lancaster County. This year’s Welcome to the Battle will be conducted on Tuesday, Jan. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lives Changed By
“My intent is to have people walk away with hope and feeling empowered.”
Christ Church’s Ephrata Campus, 5 Hahnstown Road.
Members of the panel will include Brad Ortenzi, coordinator of the Lancaster Human Trafficking Task Force and ZOE International East Coast; Meg McCallum, Berks County supervising attorney; Kevin Quinter, detective sergeant of the
Wyomissing Police Department; Celeste Hutchinson, NSI’s clinical director; and Jen Sensenig, NSI’s founder.
The event, which is being presented as part of the United States Department of State’s National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, is free to attend, and registration at www .northstarinitiative.org/events is encouraged. Light refreshments will be served, and a number of local human trafficking fighting agencies, including Lancaster YWCA, Sparrow Place, Hope Inspire Love, Greenlight Operation, ZOE International and She’s Somebody’s Daughter, will be there providing information on their services.
“There are people who don’t even think human trafficking in Lancaster County happens,” said Clark. “If you don’t think it’s happening, you’re not going to be looking for it. That knowledge can protect someone else.”

Vietnam War veterans share firsthand accounts with students
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Thanks to a unique partnership with a local veterans group, students at several Lancaster County high schools can get a firsthand account of the Vietnam War.
A panel of veterans, organized by Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) Chapter 1008, provides students with an immersive experience, offering insights that go beyond what they read in history books.
The panel, which has been visiting local schools for nearly a decade, includes veterans from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, each of whom shares a unique perspective.
Education chair John Hoober, who organizes the visits, explained that the veterans’ goal is not to teach a traditional history lesson but to engage students with personal stories.

Welcome to the Battle
“So many people in the community have questions,” added Clark. “Some people struggle attending an event like this. It is hard information. My intent is to have people walk away with hope and feeling empowered. The way we talk about it is true and honest and real, but it brings light, not darkness.”
Last year, more than 250 people attended Welcome to the Battle.
“There are warning signs with human trafficking,” said Clark. “Some of the things you might be looking for are somebody who lacks ID papers, a relationship in which the participants seem mismatched. It could look like an excessive dependence on a cellphone to a point of desperation. It could
involve income that seems extravagant. Anything that looks off is off. It may not be trafficking, but it’s a sign of vulnerability. It should be a concern. It should be a red flag.”
Clark said that it is impossible to know exactly how much human trafficking is being perpetrated in Lancaster County.
“It is one of the most underreported and misidentified crimes,” said Clark. “Exploitation can come before the actual trafficking. There are people in Lancaster County who are victimized, and there are people who are brought here to be trafficked. Buyers are creating demand. People are paying to abuse (victims) in Lancaster County. The way trafficking happens in Lancaster County is a result of exploiting substance abuse or grooming young people. Social media is the No. 1 source of trafficking.”
Welcome to the Battle was originally established in 2018. Last year, NSI conducted more than 85 community presentations designed to raise the awareness of human trafficking, educate families and empower attendees through knowledge.
“The battle to end trafficking is winnable,” said Clark. “Our intention is to replace myths and misconceptions with facts. When it comes to the facts, everyone should be saying the same things because the truth is the truth. There are different people and different groups doing work to make progress. Everybody has different approaches, different resources. We aren’t competitors; we’re colleagues. We all have a place on the battle line.”
NSI is headquartered in Lititz. For additional information, go to www .northstarinitiative.org. scan this code for more

and the Vietnam era?
Almost all of their questions lead to our personal experiences,” he said.
The panel is composed of diverse veterans with varying roles in the conflict. Some were boots on the ground, in the midst of the conflict, while others served in supplies, finance and mechanics. The diversity offers a well-rounded view of the war.
The veterans begin each program by introducing themselves and sharing their backgrounds, including their service during major events like the Tet Offensive and the Brown
Water Navy’s patrol of the Mekong Delta. Afterward, students have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the veterans.
At most talks, students share their knowledge of the war, including experiences such as visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. They often ask questions about post-traumatic stress disorder and Agent Orange, the herbicide used during the war, as well as experiences of “tunnel rats” - soldiers tasked with clearing underground enemy tunnels. The panelists share
their stories of danger and survival, offering personal insights into the physical and emotional toll of their service.
The veterans also bring personal memorabilia to display and share with students before and after the panel presentations. Items include photos of the soldiers in their youth along with pieces of their uniforms or objects they kept with them while they served.
Mary Nolt, a social studies teacher at Manheim Central High School, has hosted the veterans panel for several years.

“My hope is students will grasp the power of living history through the Vietnam veterans panel,” she said. “These gentlemen always come with a smile and willing and ready to share their stories with the students. … It is one thing for us to talk about the Vietnam War in history class; it is another for students to interact with and learn from those who lived through this time period in such a unique and special way.”

Production to present immigrants’ stories
Grand Pistachio will present “Layer the Walls: Midcentury” on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 1 p.m. at the Winter Visual and Performing Arts Center, 60 W. Cottage Ave., Millersville.
“Layer the Walls” is a live theater piece for young audiences focusing on immigration and universal struggles surrounding discrimination. While visiting the Tenement Museum in New York City, the play’s creators learned that 40 layers of wallpaper were found on the walls of an old apartment. Each piece had been applied by a new immigrant family attempting to make the space its own, with every layer filled with hopes, dreams, and stories of survival. As layers of the set are peeled away, the characters’ stories of immigration are revealed.
“Layer the Walls: Mid-Century” spans 1930 to 1970, including stories of a Chinese father
who enters the U.S. and endures 30 years of separation from his family, a young Holocaust survivor who has to adapt to life in New York City, and Puerto Rican sisters who join the Young Lords’ fight for health care equity. These stories are brought to life with rod puppetry, ribbon dancing, masks, Bunraku-style puppetry, shadow puppetry, and original music.
Grand Pistachio creates original theater for young people utilizing puppetry, masks, and music. Its mission is to engage audience empathy and open new ways for young people to view each other, the world, and their role in it. The organization seeks to achieve these aims by highlighting the stories of people who might not be in the history books or cultural records.
The event will include free preshow children’s activities as part of the season’s Family Fun Fest

a healthy adulthood that’s based in flexibility.
“(My interests) didn’t all happen at the same time,” said Josiah. “As I got better at them, I look at them like, ‘If I’m going to do them, I want to do them well.’ A lot of these things require focus. I just feel like I’m in the zone. I’m very productive, and they’re usually things I like to do.”
Josiah’s interests and activities are wide and varied. They include school interests, out-of-school activities, church activities, family-oriented interests, private activities and social activities.
When asked about his favorite activities, Josiah identified bowling, building and flying drones and playing the piano - not nec-

essarily in that order - as his top three. His secondary interests include fish keeping, teaching and helping with kids and animal care.
Josiah is ranked sixth in Conestoga Valley’s 318member Class of 2025. He has won seven awards, mostly related to academic achievement and sportsmanship; he volunteers his time; and he has formulated some very concrete plans concerning his immediate and not-too-distant futures.
“From last year to this year, my role on the team has changed,” said Josiah, who’s the captain of the Buckskins’ bowling team and the reigning Lancaster-Lebanon League individual champion. “Last year, I was just a piece on an amazing team. This year, I’m the No. 1 bowler on the team, and I’m almost like an assistant coach. I watch everybody’s shots and give them suggestions.”
Josiah owns and operates 17 First Person View (FPV) drones, many of which he
has built himself. It’s an engineering-based hobby that, when equipped with a camera, can be applied for commercial purposes.
“I’ve always been interested in anything that flies,” said Josiah. “My mom taught me how to build paper airplanes. My dad used to fly remote-control helicopters. Then I bought some cheap drones. I kind of left it go for a couple of years until one day my friend brought over an FPV drone. When I first watched him fly it, my jaw dropped and I said, ‘This is for me.’ It is very expensive, and it’s really hard to fly them.”
Josiah’s love of the piano was also inspired by his family and nurtured by lessons from local musician Jordan Redfield. Sometimes Josiah plays for himself, and sometimes he enjoys performing for others.
“It very much depends on what song I’m playing,” said Josiah, who’s been playing piano for about
eight years. “If I’ve heard songs I like, I really want to be able to play them and I want to know I can hear them whenever I want. It’s usually songs from movie soundtracks and popular songs.”
Josiah said he is 90% sure he would like to attend Mount Vernon Nazarene University in Ohio and major in secondary education. He also said he’d like to continue pursuing his current interests, but he hasn’t ruled out pursuing new ones.
“I’ve had some great high school role models,” said Josiah. “There are definitely times when I need to have down time. But at the same time, if I’m doing something I’m enjoying while I’m doing it, it’s not wearing me down. Right now, I’m ramping up for college. But I really want to focus on the present and what I have going on right now.”
If you see Josiah, encourage him to keep doing what he’s doing.

Mentoring organization expands program
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of South-Central PA has announced the launch of 20 High School Bigs programs across the organization’s seven-county footprint for the 2024-25 school year, expanding the commitment to youth mentorship and community engagement.
BBBS of South-Central PA has facilitated the High School Bigs program in school districts throughout
its service area for more than 30 years. Many of the High School Bigs programs launched this school year are part of a multi-year partnership within a school district.
Returning students may be matched with the mentor, called a Big, or mentee, called a Little, from the prior school year or be rematched with a new mentor or mentee in the program.
The High School Bigs program connects high school students with elementary and middle school youths, fostering leadership skills for the more senior students while providing essential support and guidance to younger peers.
One mentor involved in the program is Taij at Central Dauphin High School. Taij said she understands the powerful influence of having an older role model and remembers how engaging with older students in prior years helped her gain deeper self-awareness and a new perspective.
The program not only enhances the lives of those being mentored but also equips high school students with skills in communication, teamwork, and interpersonal relations. It engages mentors in activities designed to enhance their leadership and mentoring abilities while promoting positive behaviors among younger students.
There is community impact, as well. By fostering relationships between generations, the program strengthens community ties and inspires a culture of giving back.
Big Brother Jon at Susquenita High School joined the program because he wished that during elementary school he had a
mentor beyond his family. The program has given Jon more confidence in communicating with people who aren’t his age, older or younger.
This school year, BBBS of South-Central PA has more than 700 youths engaged in the High School Bigs program. In Lancaster County, the program is offered in Columbia Area School District, Donegal School

CAP cadets honor veterans at cemetery
Civil Air Patrol (CAP) cadets and senior members from the Pennsylvania Wing, including members of the Jesse Jones Squadron 304 in Lititz, participated in Wreaths Across America at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery on Dec. 14.
The Squadron 304 cadets took part in the Line of Patriots during the hourlong ceremony honoring veterans from each branch of service. Joining them in the Line of Patriots were CAP cadets from the Reading, Harrisburg International, Gettysburg, Scranton, and Chester County squadrons. United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps cadets from the Robert I. Rudy Division located in Lebanon and the Cedar Cliff Army JROTC were also present on the Line of Patriots, which was led by veteran members of the Patriot Guard Riders.
Following the ceremony, cadets and senior members assisted with laying wreaths at the graves of United States veterans to signify honor and respect for veterans. More than 3 million wreaths were laid countrywide at more than 4,900 locations. More than 42,000 wreaths were laid at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.
When volunteers lay the wreaths, they are encouraged to say the veteran’s name aloud, thank him or her for serving and sacrificing, and take a moment to reflect on that person and his or her life.
Wreaths Across America’s mission is to remember the fallen, honor those who serve and their families, and teach future generations about the price of freedom. This mission is continued year-round.
Jesse Jones Squadron 304 meets each Monday except holidays at 7 p.m. in the Venture Jets hangar, which is located at the airport near the intersection of Lititz Pike and
Millport Road in Lititz. Visitors are welcome. More details about the squadron are available at www .jessejones.cap.gov or by searching for “Jesse Jones Composite Squadron, Civil Air Patrol, Pennsylvania Wing” on Facebook.

LancasterHistory posts programs
LancasterHistory, 230 N. President Ave., Lancaster, has posted two upcoming events.
The first Friends of the Tanger Arboretum Nature Series program of 2025 will be held on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 10 a.m. Aaron Haines will speak about remote acoustic survey efforts for bats, a cost-effective way to survey rare bats in Pennsylvania, and how to use recording devices to record bat vocalizations. The devices are an integral tool in evaluating bat species under conservation with minimal human interference.
Bats are key indicators of the health of ecosystems, and they provide pest control over problematic insect species. However, in Pennsylvania, seven species of bats are of conservation
