Mascot Roller Mills, Ressler Family Home steeped in history
BY JEFF FALK
As Lancaster County’s history was evolving, dozens of water-powered, grain-grinding mills dotted the local landscape. Few are left standing, much less still operating, except for maybe oneMascot Roller Mills.
That’s what makes Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home unique and so intriguing as an attraction. The historic site whisks visitors away to a time 300 years ago when mills supported communities, provided a places for residents to gather and socialize and ground their crops into food.
“I really think we sometimes believe that where we are is created out of our own making,” said James Landis, executive director of the Ressler Mills Foundation, which owns and operates Mascot
Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home. “There is wisdom in the past, and if we can tap into that, we might be able to understand where we’re going and who we are.”
“What’s unique about this mill is that the Ressler family, through wise investments, had the funds to set up a foundation.”
“I think the question is, ‘Are we open to experiencing history?’” continued Landis. “There has been history lost here. We’re surrounded by history that’s a mystery. I like to think about all the families who lived here.”

Sky Bridge, kids’ imagination knows no boundaries
BY JEFF FALK
Kids love to discover. Kids love to be independent. Kids love to think.
Kids love Sky Bridge.
The High Foundation Sky Bridge, designed and fabricated by Luckey Climbers, is the Lancaster Science Factory’s latest hands-on exhibit for young learners. It represents the best kind of ingenuity, the kind that inspires
others to be creative.
“More than learning, it’s about inspiring children,” said Amanda Bakay, the Lancaster Science Factory’s director of programs and communications. “When they see it and get inside of it, they start to realize they could create something like this one day. It sparks an idea like, ‘What did someone have to do to think this thing up?’”
Part jungle gym, part science
attractions go - for both local and out-of-town history buffs - the site of Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home, located at 2280 Stumptown Road, Ronks, is somewhat of a hidden gem. The attraction offers a 30-minute guided tour of the mill and a 30-minute guided tour of the homestead where the mill’s three generations of operators lived. Both are free and open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., from May 1 to Oct. 26 this year.
The attraction is recognized as a National Historic Site.
“It was not unique in the day, and there are other mills in the county,” said Landis. “What’s unique about this mill is that the Ressler family, through wise investments, had the funds to set up a foundation.”

best at,” said Tait Harbaugh, who’s known as magician Papa Tater in the entertainment world and who’s the organizer and master of ceremonies for the event. “My true skills are in performing. (The event) is a double whammy; we’re entertaining people but we’re also helping the church. People will get to feel the warmth of the entertaining. It’s getting that feeling of helping the community through being a community. It’s always more fun to do things as a group.”
NEW WAY TO DO LAWN WORK!
Presented by Papa Tater Magic and the Lancaster Juggling Club, the inaugural Fun in Leola Variety Show promises enjoyment for people of all ages. The family-friendly show will be performed on Saturday, Aug. 17, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, 18 Quarry Road, Leola.
Doors will open at 5 p.m., and the 90-minute show is free to attend. A freewill offering to benefit the church will be received at the door.
“In a single word, the atmosphere will be fun,” said Harbaugh. “(All the performers) who are coming, their goal is to provide fun. I’m hoping the people who are there are going to be amazed. Some of the things we do will involve audience interaction and stage illusion and will hopefully wow folks. The final trick will involve
all of us.”
“We have some fun folks coming,” added Harbaugh. “They are people who travel all over to perform. I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with. They all volunteered to help out.”
With Harbaugh introducing acts and filling in lulls in the action, performers scheduled to appear are creative juggler Nick Moosic, magician Justin Squared, magician Majik Andrew and magician Professor Phun. Audience members can expect to be engaged and on the edge of their seats.
Up to 200 people are expected to attend the fun community event.
“I have a blast performing for one person,” said Harbaugh. “The size of the crowd doesn’t matter. It would be nice to have a bunch of people to support the church, and hopefully we can make them laugh.”
“I try not to set (financial) goals. ... I’d rather be happy and surprised with what we make,” continued Harbaugh. “At this point, supporting Zion is supporting the community because of all the things (the church does).”
Zion Lutheran conducts a free meal for the community every month, runs clothing and food drives for Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services and serves as an overflow homeless shelter during the colder months. In addition, the church sponsors the Leola Community Garden and conducts numerous fundraising and community events designed to engage and benefit its neighbors.
“(The show) is for the community to come and have some fun,” said Harbaugh. “When you’re trying to make the world a better place, it means a lot.”

Mascot Roller Mills
from pg 1
and Newport Road, the 1700s-era Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home are the only two of the eight buildings on the property that are open to the public.
A dozen paid part-time staff members, including tour guides, cater to about 3,000 visitors each season.
“It’s people from all over the world, typically tourists, but some locals,” said Landis. “We’re hearing local folks say, ‘I drive by a lot, but I never visited.’
Engineers have a field day here. It’s teachers and parents and homeschoolers trying to give their kids a different experience.”
For many visitors, the highlight of the Mascot Roller Mills tour is when the large corn and wheat roller grinders are once again brought to life to produce corn meal and flour right before their very eyes.
“When we turn the machines on, it’s like,
‘Whoa!’” said Landis. “It just comes alive. This is not a static mill.”
The history of the Mascot Roller Mills dates back to the 1730s at a time when all the grains refined there were used for local consumption. The Ressler family purchased the property in 1865 and operated the mills until 1977.
Tours of Mascot Roller Mills began in the 1980s. The Ressler Family Home was opened to visitors in 2007.

project, part gateway to higher learning, Sky Bridge opened to rave reviews at Lancaster Science Factory, 454 New Holland Ave., Lancaster, in April of 2023. The $600,000 project was fabricated by construction artist and designer Spencer Luckey in his New England shop and then assembled at the Lancaster Science Factory over a three-week span.
“Sometimes kids like to see how quickly they can get to the top,” said Bakay. “It kind of looks like a giant ant farm when it’s filled with children. Sometimes kids will climb to the highest point and hang out. It’s almost like a cool clubhouse.”
When visitors to Lancaster Science Factory round the corner from the main entrance, they are confronted with Sky Bridge, which is attached to beams on the high ceiling of the former manufacturing plant. But the massive structure does not make contact with the ground.
“We’ve always wanted to use our horizontal space, to have a bridge span over our main exhibit hall,” said Bakay. “It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before, just because you can climb in it. It’s so accessible, and having a bird’s-eye view of the exhibit hall is so cool.”
Framed by metal and held together by thick
wire netting, Sky Bridge is a series of 35 wooden panels strategically spaced throughout the structure. Sky Bridge both stands out and fits right in with the Lancaster Science Factory’s 75 other exhibits.
“Everything we do is very hands-on and interactive,” said Bakay. “Everything we have requires you to do something and try something in a different way. Sky Bridge is like our other exhibits because it’s immersive, but there’s no beginning, middle or end. We also really don’t have anything else you can get inside and climb on.”
During 2023, nearly 71,000 individuals visited the Lancaster Science Factory, about 11,000 more than officials had projected. When those officials searched for reasons for the increase, they looked to Sky Bridge.
“It’s made a huge impact
on our visitation,” said Bakay. “(The increase) was all, or in part, because of Sky Bridge. It gave us something to talk about.”
Partly through the funding of a $1 million capital campaign, the Lancaster Science Factory, which boasts 17,000 square feet of exhibit space, opened in 2008.
“Our mission is to inspire creativity in children through science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs and keep them accessible to everyone in the community,” said Bakay. “We want the facility to stay open to everyone in our community. We’ve really grown from this small science factory to a regional destination.”

Chad Snyder appointed to state board of funeral directors
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
As a third-generation funeral director, Chad Snyder has a unique perspective of the profession.
In 1947, Chad’s grandfather, Charles F. Snyder, opened a funeral home in downtown Lancaster, and the business grew to offer locations in Millersville, Willow Street, Lititz and other parts of the county. Chad watched his father, Chip Snyder, run the business after Charles retired, and Chad became the director in 2018. Chad was appointed to the Pennsylvania State Board of Directors earlier this year, and he said he plans to use
his experience to bridge the gap between funeral directors and state legislators to benefit Lancaster and communities throughout the state.
Since joining the state board of funeral directors, Chad has taken monthly trips to the capitol to meet with other funeral directors and government officials during public sessions. The meetings incorporate discussions on various issues that impact the funeral industry, such as the evaluation of funeral directors’ licenses and newly proposed legislation that could have cascading effects on funeral services across Pennsylvania.

old, Chad is the youngest member of the board, and he said he hopes to offer his fresh perspective of the industry to the board’s discussions.
“I’m looked at as the next generation of directors and a new set of eyes,” Chad said. “My desire is to be a spokesperson for great funeral service and to advocate for high standards, ethics and values. I’m very honored and humbled to be a representative for funeral services across the state.”
In addition to being the youngest member, Chad is the only member of the state board of funeral directors to operate multiple funeral homes. Chad helped

LancasterHistory digitizes scrapbooks
In June, LancasterHistory completed a large digitization project of four historic scrapbooks and 850 individual historic documents, creating a total of 3,565 digital scans, which are now accessible to the public. The funding for the project came from a Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) Historic Archives & Records Care (HARC) grant of $5,000 that LancasterHistory received in 2021. The project focused on the digitization of four of the most significant and frequently requested scrapbooks in the LancasterHistory Archival Collections: “The George Steinman Album and Papers,” “The Marietta Scrapbook,” and two scrapbooks kept by Francis X. Reuss of Columbia.
Scrapbooks provide a unique record of individuals, families, organizations, and associations that may not be included in formal archival collections. Scrapbooks may include handwritten or typed personal letters or notes and other ephemera and memorabilia chronicling daily life. However, materials used to save items in scrapbooks are often detrimental to the long-term preservation of the objects, including poor-quality paper and harmful tapes and adhesives that can become brittle or yellow over time or degrade the objects saved in the scrapbooks. Because of the fragile conditions of the aforementioned scrapbooks, access to them has been restricted for more than a decade.
“The George Steinman Album and Papers” contains documents that represent local, state, and national history. The album, compiled by George Steinman, contains photographs and ephemera of places, people, and events related to Lancaster County. The subjects include Postlethwaite’s Tavern, Lancaster’s first seat of municipal government; hotels and taverns; firehouses; the Conestoga Massacre of 1763; churches; cemeteries; the Ephrata Cloister; prom -
inent citizens and their homes; the Stehli Silk Mill; and several schools. Later items in the album include handwritten notes in the margins made by John Gibson, who donated the collection to LancasterHistory in 1968.
An accompanying collection of papers includes original correspondence, documents, photographs, and ephemera that largely relate to 18th- and 19th-century Lancaster. The Revolutionary War is highlighted, with documents and images related to George Washington, Lancaster’s Atlee family, and Gen. Edward Hand. There are images relating to the Christiana Resistance in 1851 and to buildings in early Lancaster, including the old jail, the British prison, and Postlethwaite’s Tavern. Also included in the collection are currency printed by Benjamin Franklin in 1764 and Confederate States currency and bonds.
“The Marietta Scrapbook” contains historical information about the towns of Marietta and Columbia and the rest of Lancaster County. The pages provide information on local history, including the topics of education, population, crime, taxes, elections, and occupations. The book also includes articles on the Pennsylvania Germans, personal histories, crime, and genealogical information.
The two scrapbooks from Reuss are resources about many aspects of life in Columbia. Both books focus on residents of the borough and the history of Columbia and Chiques Park. Both scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings, handwritten correspondence, programs, photographs, and handwritten notes in the margins. Born in Columbia in 1847, Reuss was a founding member of the Society of Old Columbia Residents, an organization of former Columbia residents living in Philadelphia. Reuss’ scrapbooks are often requested by those researching the history of Columbia.
Hearts of St. John Neumann Church and School beat
BY JEFF FALK
Is St. John Neumann a church or a school? It’s kind of like asking if Jesus Christ was a leader or a servant.
It’s difficult to decipher where one ends and the other one begins.
St. John Neumann is both a Catholic church and school. In a way, they are two separate entities functioning as one.
“They’re related to each other because the school is supported by the parish financially and through prayer,” said Fr. Dan Powell, the pastor of St. John Neumann Catholic Church and School. “They’re separate in the sense that the school draws students from other Catholic parishes and other religious backgrounds.
This past year, 20% of the school’s budget came from the parish. People know their money is going to the school. It’s an investment in the future. We think that Catholic education makes a difference in a child’s life and spiritual well-being.”
Located at 601 E. Delp Road, Lancaster, St. John Neumann Church is home to 2,600 families and
as one
7,500 total parishioners. This school year, St. John Neumann School, which is named in honor of the Philadelphia bishop who founded the Catholic school system in the United States, will host 220 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade.
Since the former St. Anne’s Catholic School moved its operation to St. John Neumann four years ago, the school has witnessed steady growth, from 130 students in 2020-21 to 170 in 2021-22 to 200 in 2022-23 to 210 students last year.
St. John Neumann’s 2024-25 school year will begin Monday, Aug. 26.
“There are some people who are looking for better education opportunities for their children,” said Powell. “We have the ability to work really close with all of our families and have a sense of the particular needs of all our families.”
St. John Neumann, which falls under the auspices of the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, is one of six elementary and middle schools in Lancaster County that help populate
Seniors plan meeting
The Strasburg Area Senior Citizens will gather on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 1 p.m. at the Strasburg Fire Hall, 203 W. Franklin St., Strasburg. After a meeting, the group will engage in a price-guessing game based on a popular TV show, with
Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS). Powell said that a majority - up to 98% - of St. John Neumann students continue their education at LCHS.
“When you have a school at a church, it changes the entire dynamic,” said Powell, a 60-year-old native of Philadelphia who has been serving St. John Neumann for the last eight years. “If you drive up to the church on a school day, you can expect to see kids. The parking lot is just full of life.”
With classes that range in size from 15 to 25 students, St. John Neumann employs 25 full- and part-time teachers and aides, a cafeteria staff of three and one principal. The school offers varying forms of financial aid and tuition assistance.
“The goal is that no one is ever turned away,” said Powell. “But we all have a role to play.”
Because of St. John Neumann’s purposes in the community, there is a sense of duality to Powell’s role as well.
“My role is to guide the parish family and lead people closer to God,” said Powell. “My job is to lead the church from a spiritual point of view. It’s almost like being the CEO of a company. You’re overseeing everything and trying to know everything that is
going on, but you’re also trusting people to help you.”

Stewart receives award from American Lung Association
The American Lung Association recognized Lancaster resident Kevin Stewart as the recipient of the 2024 Hoyt E. Dearholt Distinguished Professional Service Award at a recent awards ceremony held in Chicago, Ill. The national award is the highest honor a staff member can receive from the organization and is presented annually to an employee who has made significant and lasting contributions throughout his or her Lung Association career.
Stewart currently serves as the national director of environmental health for advocacy and public policy at the American Lung Association and leads efforts on informing the public about air pollution, its health effects, its sources, and means of control. Since beginning his work with the American Lung Association in 1987, Stewart has grown professionally from his initial service in environmental and occupational health in the former one-county Lung Association affili -
ate in Lancaster County through posts at different levels to his current national position. Stewart is a voice for healthy air and its health effects for the Lung Association and has been instrumental in shaping the nationwide healthy air program.
Stewart works with many partners, including other public health and environmental organizations as well as federal agencies on policy and regulatory issues, and on indoor and outdoor air quality projects for the organization. He is the Lung Association’s voice for its signature “State of the Air” report, released every April since 2000. The report draws public attention to air pollution, control challenges, and successes across the country.
As an advocate for healthy air, Stewart regularly represents the Lung Association with comments and testimony before federal, state, regional, and local agencies engaged in public policy on clean indoor and outdoor air and climate change. He has submitted formal comments or testimony on topics such as increasing protective National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter and ozone, updating greenhouse gas emission standards for light-duty vehicles, and limiting methane from the oil and gas industry. His expertise and advocacy efforts span a broad range of topics from indoor radon, outdoor wood boilers, antiidling measures, and school indoor air quality in Pennsylvania to national energy policy and improving the public’s right to know about environmental and public health threats. Stewart joined the Lung Association at the time when radon was first recognized as an environmental hazard in people’s homesa discovery that was made in eastern Pennsylvania; additionally, radon was soon shown to be found in his hometown of Lancaster. Stewart was an early proponent for increasing radon awareness,

Fairmount to host programs
Fairmount has planned two presentations. Both events will be held in the Wheat Ridge Gathering Room, 2100 Wheat Ridge Drive, on the west side of the Fairmount campus in Ephrata.
A program titled “A Conversation With the Clinic for Special Children” will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 1 p.m.
The presenters will be executive director Adam D. Heaps and medical director Dr. Laura Poskitt from the Clinic for Special Children. They will share information about the clinic’s mission, whom it serves, how it provides care, and the impact of its work. Using the examples of two genetic disorders, spinal muscular atrophy and maple syrup urine disease, Poskitt and Heaps will describe how the clinic provides translational care, remains on the cutting edge of genetics, and reduces barriers to access in the Amish and Mennonite communities.
Heaps has been the executive director of the clinic since 2014. He originally joined the clinic in 2010 as a laboratory technician. As executive director, Heaps is responsible for all aspects of the clinic’s operation, including financial management, strategic planning, and collaborative relationships. He has contributed to research at the clinic and has co-authored several peer reviewed papers with clinic colleagues.
He completed his undergraduate studies in biology at Franklin & Marshall College and received his master’s degree in biology from Millersville University and Master of Business Administration from St. Joseph’s
University.
Poskitt, a board-certified pediatrician, joined the Clinic for Special Children in July 2019. She was promoted to the position of medical director in 2024. In this role, she manages the clinical operations of the clinic, oversees the physician team, and develops and implements strategic goals and objects to fulfill the organization’s clinical mission.
She is a native of Lancaster County and graduated from Hempfield High School. Poskitt completed her undergraduate studies at Grove City College, obtained her medical degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, and completed her residency in pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University and Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware.
“The Optimistic Journey With Hearing Loss” will be held on Thursday, Aug. 22, at 1 p.m. The program is free of charge and is geared for anyone who is experiencing hearing loss or who knows others with hearing loss.
Kay Tyberg, a colleague of Fairmount resident Dale Long, will be the presenter. Tyberg has been a member of the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) for more than 30 years. She has served on the HLAA Pennsylvania State Advisory Council and was instrumental in founding several chapters across the state. She is proficient in sign language and has taught sign language in various locations. After the presentation, there will be time for questions.
