Tweens and teens are invited to Chill and Draw with Hanna
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Hanna Haser has always been passionate about art.
The 21-year-old graduate of Donegal High School recalled starting to draw at the young age of 4 or 5 and noted that her interest developed as she became inspired by video-game characters such as the Super Mario Bros.
As an adult, she has completed commissioned pieces and has displayed her art at community events including Mount Joy’s Art Walk. Last year, she decided to share her passion with kids by hosting Chill and Draw with Hanna once a month at the Milanof-Schock Library.
“I was looking for something to do with my time, and I wanted to somehow get into the community and contribute something,” Haser said. “I remembered all the different library programs I had attended, and I thought, ‘I’m going to go up to Miss Jan and ask her if maybe I could do a drawing club.’”
When Haser approached Miss Jan - otherwise known as Jan Betty, the library’s director of children and youth - Betty was immediately receptive.
“I was thrilled, especially because it would involve teens and tweens, and they don’t often come out for me, unless there’s food involved,” Betty said with a laugh. “I figured with Hanna, they’d come out because she’s fun.”
Haser said it was important to her that the program not be called a “class,” but instead be structured for flexibility.
“A lot of kids, when they hear ‘class,’ they are expecting an overbearing teaching atmosphere, and a lot of kids don’t want that,” she explained. “This isn’t like that. I’m not going to sit over you
and just stare down your neck and tell you what to do or what not to do. I’m not going to sit there and talk the whole time. I’m literally there if you have a question about something, want to know how to do something or need help with something.”
Some kids who attend the program work independently the whole time, she said, while others will ask for suggestions of what to draw or help with specific artwork.
“It’s a very chill atmosphere,” Haser shared. “You don’t need to talk if you don’t want to, but if you want my help, that’s fine, too. It wasn’t that long ago that I was in school, so I understand wanting to draw and being forced to draw a certain thing or being
told you’re not doing this right. A cool thing I always say about art is, there’s not really a wrong way of doing it.”
Betty said she’s been impressed with Haser’s teaching style.
“She’s been great at knowing who wants to be approached and how to do it,” she stated, adding that the library provides supplies or kids are welcome to bring their own. “Hanna is very personable to the kids.”
Haser, who revealed that school was sometimes a struggle for her, said she always found art to be an outlet, and she wants her program to offer the same for others.
“What I’m hoping is that one day, a kid who is similar to me when I was younger will show up,”
is interested in having a quiet, chill place to draw and possibly get some tips from someone who has done the more professional stuff like selling art and making full pieces or who has been drawing a little longer than them, they should come to this. I want this to be a place where kids can come, relax and enjoy some quiet time while also making art.”
Chill and Draw with Hanna is held from 1 to 3 p.m. on the second Saturday of the month in the community room of the library, 1184 Anderson Ferry Road, Mount Joy. The next program will be held on Oct. 12. Registration is requested, and more information may be found by clicking on the calendar link at

Every individual, every organization has a story to tell.
Helping Other People Eternally (HOPE) International’s story is one of compassion and empowerment and the human spirit. It’s a story that continues to evolve, continues to changeone whose final chapters have yet to be written.
“I think some people do (know about HOPE International’s mission),” said Jeff Rutt, chief executive officer and founder of the organization. “I think more people need to know about the work God is doing through HOPE International. If we can share that with more people, hope can be restored in more lives. I’m always looking for ways to spread the word about the difference HOPE is making in the lives of families around the world. We need to be a voice for the voiceless.”
Headquartered at 227 Granite Run Drive, Lancaster, HOPE International is a Christian organization focused on helping individuals and families in poverty around the world to become financially stable. HOPE International performs its work through small, low-interest loans; savings groups; financial education; microfinance services; housing programs; and agricultural initiatives.
“When HOPE International was started, I didn’t know what I didn’t know,” said Rutt. “If you go to start a global organization, you don’t start out as an old dairy-farmer-turned-builder. But God knew the steps. My vision at the beginning was to help a few poor families in

Ukraine. It’s grown explosively, and I think we’re just getting started.”
That was 27 years ago, in 1997. Since then, HOPE International has provided financial assistance to more than 3 million people in more than 20 countries, such as Haiti, the Republic of the Congo, Thailand, Guatemala and Indonesia.
But the nonprofit is neither satisfied nor resting on its laurels.
“When we first started, we were looking for ways to provide hope spiritually and financially,” said Rutt. “We were just a fledgling 501(c)(3) at the time. We were trying to figure out how we can join hands with other organizations and work together.”
HOPE International’s work is funded through individual donors, fund -
raisers, churches, foundations and business donations. Since its inception, HOPE International has raised more than $275 million and lent more than $1.7 billion.
Between 2017 and 2023, 98% of the loans in the HOPE International network were repaid.
“We want to continue to grow our programs and deepen our roots,” said Rutt. “There are more families to be served, thousands and thousands. There’s plenty of need out there. We want to restore dignity in families’ lives and use that platform to proclaim the Gospel. I think there’s so much potential. HOPE International is a partner; we’re not trying to provide the answers.”
Financial stability in a community can have
far-reaching ripple effects. It can spur growth and stimulate local economies.
“The families we serve are very competent; they have talents just like you and I,” said Rutt. “The point of the story is that I think the world can be a better
place. Praise God for the amazing life inspirations that have happened and will happen going forward. I’m just a small part of it.”

Blues musician to visit PCA&D
The Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D) Liberal Arts Department invites the public to “The Voice and Music of Daryl Davis” on Friday, Oct. 4. The program will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the atrium at PCA&D, 204 N. Prince St., Lancaster. The hourlong musical portion of the program will start at 6 p.m.
During the program, which is a part of the Diverse Voices Speaker Series, Davis will speak about his work to achieve racial harmony and share his blues piano playing and singing.
Davis will share the life experiences that led to his 1998 book “Klan-destine Relationships: A Black Man’s Odyssey” and the documentary film screenplay “Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America.” He will speak about the power of conversation to ignite positive change, understanding hate groups in America, and how music broke down racial barriers in the 1950s and 1980s. Davis, whose parents were in the United States Foreign Service, traveled extensively as a child. At 10, when the family moved to Massachusetts, he encountered racism firsthand. As an adult, Davis sought to explore the phenomenon of racism by interviewing Ku Klux Klan members, some
of whom became his close friends and left the Klan. Many Klan members were initially drawn to Davis because they enjoyed his music.
Davis’ awards include the Elliott-Black Award from the American Ethical Union and the Bridge Builder Award from the Washington Ethical Society.
He is also an international performer, songwriter, vocalist, pianist, and guitar player with a bachelor’s degree in music from Howard University. Mentored by Pinetop Perkins and Johnnie Johnson, he
mastered the boogie-woogie piano blues in the Delta and Chicago styles. Today he mentors young musicians through the artist in residence program at
the Strathmore Institute in Bethesda, Md. He was named Best Traditional Blues/R&B Instrumentalist at the 2009 Washington

Maintaining older vehicles
New cars have been costly for quite some time, so motorists may wonder how they can get more mileage out of their existing vehicles.
Drivers can take the following steps to keep their existing cars running smoothly for years to come.
- Take care of the timing belt. Engines may get all the glory, but they cannot run smoothly without a
fully functional timing belt, which helps to synchronize movements of various components. Owner’s manuals may note when to replace the timing belt, but they generally must be replaced every 60,000 to 105,000 miles. Although replacement is required infrequently, drivers can ask their mechanics to keep an eye on their timing belts. During the early months of the pandemic,
many people learned that infrequent driving can cause a timing belt to fail before it reaches the projected mile marker. Aging drivers should keep this fact in mind if they do not drive as much as they used to.
- Take care of the brakes and associated components. The experts at Popular Mechanics urge drivers of older vehicles to replace their brake fluid
every two years. Popular Mechanics also advises drivers whose cars are more than seven years old to replace the rubber brake lines when major brake work is required.
- Pay attention to oil levels. The older engines get, the more oil they burn. For this reason, owners of older vehicles should check their oil levels more often than they would if their vehicles were brand new.
Four signs tires need to be replaced
Cars are a significant investment, which underscores the importance of vehicle maintenance. Maintenance is more than just tending to what’s under the hood. Tires also require drivers’ attention, as aging, damaged tires pose a safety risk and also compromise vehicle performance. Tires can be easily overlooked, but the following are four signs tires need to be replaced.
1. Worn tread: The automotive experts at AutoZone note that tread depth is the most prevalent indicator that a tire needs to be replaced. AutoZone notes that tread depth should always be at least 1/16 of an inch throughout the tire. Depth should be measured across the tread and around the circumference. If the tread is at or
below 1/16 of an inch, the tire should be replaced.
These checks also provide a way to discover leaks before they lead to potentially significant issues.
- Don’t skip maintenance appointments. Even if you’re still driving less due to the pandemic, it’s best to keep up with maintenance on any car, especially if the car is older. Routine tune-ups and oil changes, which may need to become more frequent the older the vehicle gets, can keep cars running smoothly and protect the engine over the long haul. The rising cost of new cars may compel people to keep their cars longer than they might have anticipated. A few simple maintenance measures may help to prolong the life of a vehicle.
2. Bulges, gouges, or cracks: Geico notes that a deflated tire bulges at the sides, and that can compromise the safety of everyone in the vehicle. AutoZone says bulges occur when air gets between the inner liner and outer rubber layers, which can happen after hitting a curb or driving over a

Tires
sizable pothole. A gouge or cut that is deeper than the outer layer of the tire also necessitates replacement.
3. Poor grip: Drivers may be able to feel certain tire problems, including poor grip, while driving. In such instances, tires may feel as though they are slipping. The tire experts at Firestone note that low tread can reduce tire traction and cause wheels to slip, which may be more noticeable when accelerating from a stop or driving on wet roads. Drivers who feel their tires are slipping can test the tread and replace tires that are low.
4. Vibration: Vibration is another issue drivers may feel rather than see. Iden -
tifying the cause requires noting where the vibrations are felt. Geico notes that vibration or thumping that feels like it’s coming from under the seats may indicate the tires are not balanced. A suspension issue could be to blame if the steering wheel feels like it’s vibrating. Either feeling should be brought to the attention of a mechanic immediately. Tire issues affect vehicle performance and compromise the safety of drivers, their passengers, and fellow motorists. When vehicles are not performing at peak capacity, drivers should not overlook various tire issues as a potential cause of such troubles.

QPR is an emergency response technique designed to help people act as gatekeepers in suicide prevention. A gatekeeper is someone who is in a position to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. QPR teaches participants how to recognize the warning signs of suicide, engage with those at risk, and refer them to appropriate resources for help. Columbia Catholic Mental Health Ministry, a joint effort by St. Peter and Holy Trinity parishes, aims to provide spiritual support and community for people experiencing mental health challenges and their families. While not a substitute for mental health treatment, the ministry offers supplemental assistance and information to help overcome stigma and misunderstandings about mental illness.

that Lucia writes. “Fade” is a play about class and race within the Latinx community and beyond and how status does not change who people are at their core.
The Arts at Millersville University will join Lancaster city’s First Friday celebrations with We the People First Friday on Oct. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Ware Center, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster. At 6:30 p.m. in Steinman Hall, Lancaster-based theatrical group Teatro Paloma will present the stage play “Fade,” written by Tanya Saracho and directed by Chris Aviles. When Lucia, a Mexican-born novelist, gets her first TV writing job, she feels a bit out of place on the white male-dominated set. Lucia quickly becomes friends with the only other Latino around, a janitor named Abel. As Abel shares his stories with Lucia, similar plots begin to find their way into the TV scripts
In the Regitz Gallery, a reception will celebrate the opening of the exhibit “Tabletop Still Lifes” by artist Douglas Anderson. Showing the transient nature of life, the still life captures a moment in time that will never be seen the same way again. Using acrylic on canvas, Anderson takes traditional stilllife subjects and infuses them with his own sense of humor. The exhibit will be on display until Oct. 25. As part of We the People First Fridays, Millersville University’s Ware Center hosts community-centered
performances and exhibits that represent the mosaic of Lancaster and beyond.
All First Friday events are free and open to the public. No tickets are required.
