Introducing girls to engineering

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

Speaking to an auditorium full of high-school girls, Dr. Sara Atwood recalled a story about the early days of seatbelts. The male engineers designing the device, noted the Dean of the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Elizabethtown College, neglected to consider the needs of pregnant women when making the safest seatbelts possible.

“We care about having every perspective in the room,” Atwood told the girls. That’s the motivation behind Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day on the campus. The second annual event was held in late February, drawing girls

from 10 area high schools, including Penn Manor, Elizabethtown, Warwick, Columbia, Garden Spot, Hempfield and Conestoga Valley.

“As a girl in engineering myself, I’m especially proud of this effort by E-town’s new Society of Women Engineers Student Section to ‘Educate for Service,’ which is our motto here at Elizabethtown College,” Atwood said. Last year, organizers planned on hosting about 30 girls, and the seats filled up immediately, so they expanded the program this year.

“It’s exciting to see the tremendous growth in just our second annual offering of this event,” Atwood shared, noting that about 100 girls were in attendance. They

rotated through four workshops, including making mechanical inchworms, “Pac-Man Coding” and creating water filtration systems.

“My favorite class in high school was English,” Atwood told the assembly at the program’s start. “There are a lot of ways to be an engineer and a lot of different paths to get there. You can love to write and be an engineer. Calculus does not have to be your favorite class for you to be an engineer. You have to be able to do the math, but you don’t have to love it. Don’t think about what you want to be. Think about what you love to do.”

“As a nonprofit, our first priority is to give back to the community,” said Lee Eckert, recreation director for GEARS.

The organization will do just that when it hosts its annual Eggstravaganza at Elizabethtown Community Park, located off Mount Joy Street, on Saturday, March 23. The event will feature free egg hunts for children ages 6 months to 12 years old as well as a free senior citizen egg hunt for people age 60 and older. An adult egg hunt for people age 13 and older will be offered for a small entry fee. Egg hunts will be held for various age groups every 15 minutes starting at 10 a.m. through 11:45 a.m., when the adult egg hunt will be held.

“Through anonymous community donations, we have prize eggs,” Eckert said. “In the prize eggs are slips which you

can redeem at the prize table. Some of the prizes in this year’s hunt are gift cards from downtown stores, Squishmallows and other stuffed animals, backpacks and Nerf guns.” The grand prize for the adult

Access to emergency services is an essential part of any community, and for residents of six municipalities in Lancaster County, a new system will ensure services continue.

After a two-year process of study, public meetings and planning, the Municipal Emergency Services Authority of Lancaster County (MESA) debuted in February, providing 911 emergency medical ambulance services

in the northwest region of the county previously provided by Northwest EMS.

“As far as we know, MESA is the first municipal authority in Pennsylvania that is publicly funding EMS services by charging a fee,” said Debra Dupler, MESA board chair. “In fact, we have already been contacted by other municipalities in the commonwealth and across the United States interested in the authority model as a solution to their own EMS funding challenges.”

Dr. Sara Atwood speaks to students at the start of Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day at Elizabethtown College.

Capturing family history

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

When his grandson was born in 2015, Dave Reist wrote down some stories of his younger days to pass on to the next generation at the request of his daughter. This project prompted Dave to dig even deeper. In January, Dave published they left me off at $1500’ - A Century of Progress at Reist Popcorn Company.” The book includes stories about the Mount Joy-based company’s almost 100-year history as well as tales about Dave’s grandfather’s life.

“We all need to tell our stories, and it helps my kids understand where they fit in the story,” said Dave, the father of four daughters and nine grandchildren. “What would I give today to have such a book written by each of my four grandparents? That’s what prompted me to keep going in the process of writing this book.”

The Reist Popcorn Company was established as the Reist Seed Company in 1925 by Alvin J. Reist on the family’s 118-acre farm in Mount Joy. As the company and its services grew, the business moved to several locations in Mount Joy,

becoming the Reist Popcorn Company in 2001. Dave worked for the company for 45 years, becoming president in 1994 before retiring in 2020. Today, his son-in-law Michael Higgins operates two locations of the business in Mount Joy.

“This work has been a labor of love for me,” Dave said of writing the book. “I wanted to create a written history of not only the Reist Popcorn Company, but also of my family, so the generations that come after me know and understand our heritage.”

When he started on the book, Dave used an audiotape of his grandfather as inspiration. The recording captures his grandfather recalling the formation of the business, with $1,500 being the investment Alvin would make as the company president. That inspired the memoir’s unique title, Dave said.

Dave pored over historical documents to write his book. His personal library is filled with binders and folders of information, including seed sales bulletins, diaries, letters and old photos.

“Between the many discoveries and my personal memories, I knew

I had to capture as much of our family and business history as possible,” Dave stated. “Family farms and businesses created around family farms are complex entities.”

Along with stories about the company’s shift from seed to popcorn production, the book includes tales about Alvin’s 1943 airplane and what would become one of Lancaster County’s first on-farm airstrips, as well as his contributions as a young man to tobacco production. The book also details what daily farm life was like and highlights the history of area landmarks.

In writing the book, Dave

worked with the Mount Joy Area Historical Society, and all proceeds from sales of the book will benefit the organization.

The historical society will host a “Friend Raiser/Meet and Greet the Author” event on Sunday, March 24, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the society building, 120 Fairview St., Mount Joy. Light refreshments will be available, and a scavenger hunt will be held inside the building. Dave will sign copies of his book and give a brief talk at 2 p.m.

The book is available for purchase at Mount Joy businesses Reist Popcorn Company, The Baker’s Book Shoppe at Made With Love Not Gluten Bakery and Time After Time Clocks, as well as at the Mount Joy Area Historical Society’s website, www.mountjoyhistory.com.

MESA from pg 1

MESA emerged as a solution to challenges facing Northwest EMS and its ability to serve the community.

“MESA’s public funding model addresses two primary problems. The first is that health insurance reimbursements for EMS services only occur on a per-call basis and cover only about half of the total cost of service. Insurance doesn’t pay for ambulances to be staffed, equipped and ready 24/7,” Dupler explained. “The second is that fewer than 40% of residents participated in Northwest EMS’ voluntary subscription program. This combination of inadequate insurance reimbursements and a lack of voluntary subscriptions left Northwest EMS deeply underfunded. The annual fee paid to MESA ensures that ambulances are ready to respond 24/7 and that EMS services can operate on a fiscally sustainable basis.”

MESA will provide services to residents in Conoy Township, East Donegal Township, Elizabethtown Borough, Marietta Borough, Mount Joy Township and West Donegal Township.

“Municipalities are responsible for many things - recreation facilities, police services, stormwater management and snow removal to name a few. In Pennsylvania, municipalities are also required by law to ensure the provision of emergency medical services,” Dupler explained. “As a municipal EMS authority, MESA provides this essential public service. MESA is municipal-led, publicly funded and dedicated to providing outstanding emergency care to people in

MESA will provide ambulance service in six municipalities.

its member municipalities on a sustainable basis.”

The annual fee community members pay will provide a variety of benefits, she said, including no residual bills for EMS services if the patient’s insurance pays, 50% off EMS bills if the patient does not have insurance coverage and 50% off EMS bills if the patient’s payment applies to an insurance deductible.

The path to forming MESA began in 2018 when Northwest EMS was facing insufficient revenue and rising costs. A committee of local municipal leaders pursued the solution as a way to meet community needs.

As MESA gets underway, the organization plans to continue not only providing emergency services, but also offering community engagement opportunities.

“Northwest EMS is tremendously grateful for the community’s partnership through the years,” Dupler said. “MESA looks forward to serving the community with the same outstanding service for which Northwest EMS is known, and community involvement and public safety education will continue to be an important part of our mission.”

Eggstravaganza from pg 1

egg hunt is a JBL Charge 5 Speaker, and the grand prize for the senior egg is tickets to see “Daniel” at Sight & Sound Theatres.

Along with the egg hunts, the event will feature a variety of family-friendly activities.

“We’ll have a monkey bounce house, an inflatable soccer kick, a balloon artist making balloon animals, and the Easter Bunny will also be on hand for free selfies at a photo station,” Eckert shared.

He noted that Mars Wrigley is the event sponsor and has donated all of the candy that will be in the eggs. “The Elizabethtown Rotary Club will be supporting the event again this year,” he said. “They hide the eggs and keep people entertained before the egg hunts begin. We would not be able to run the event without them.”

Eckert said it’s especially fun to

watch the senior citizens participate in their egg hunt. “Last year, we had over 60 seniors participate,” he recalled. “We like to offer these to let everyone participate in our community events. Also, seeing the faces of the grandchildren watch their grandparents participate is the best!”

He encourages families to come to the park and enjoy the day. “The event offers a fun way to spend time in the park, whether it’s just for a few minutes or several hours,” he said. “People can pop in and stay for just one egg hunt, or they can hang out and do all the activities and spend the day in the park.”

No registration is required for the Eggstravaganza, and the event will be held rain or shine. For more information, including a list of prizes and a schedule of age groups, visit www.getintogears. org/eggstravaganza.

Enjoy breakfast with the Easter Bunny

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

Get ready for a new season and gear up for Easter at a pancake breakfast with the Easter Bunny. The event will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 239 E. Market St., Marietta, on Saturday, March 23, from 8 to 10 a.m.

“We always enjoy sharing this event with the community to celebrate Easter and spring,” said Nancy Kulman, church secretary. “We welcome others in sharing this season of rebirth.”

The meal will include pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit, juice, coffee and Easter treats. There will also be Easter egg painting at 9:30 a.m. for children of all ages to decorate eggs and take some home with them.

“Attendees are invited to take pictures with the Easter Bunny,” Kulman shared. “He will be handing out candy to all children 12 and under.”

Last year, the church featured baby lambs at the event, but that wasn’t possible this year since Easter is so early and none are born yet, Kulman explained.

People may attend anytime between 8 and 10 a.m., she noted, and no registration is required. There are separate fees for adults and for children ages 5 to 12 for the breakfast. There is no charge for children age 4 and under. There are no advance tickets for the breakfast, and cash will be accepted at the door. People should park on the street and use the side entrance to the church on South Chestnut Street.

“This is a very family-friendly event,” Kulman said. “Our congregation loves to cook for others. We welcome all and invite the community to get to know us and enjoy a meal together with others in the neighborhood.”

St. John’s Episcopal Church has been hosting the pancake

breakfast for more than 15 years. The Easter event fits right in with the church members’ philosophy of connecting with others. The parish motto of St. John’s Episcopal Church is “the small church with a big heart.” Services are

held at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings, with Sunday school for children starting at 10:15 a.m. during the school year. For more information, visit https:// st-johns-marietta.diocpa.org or call 717-426-3189.

The basics of regenerative agriculture

Climate change poses a threat to various industries, not the least of which is the agricultural sector. In the years to come, farmers and agricultural organizations will need to continue to adapt and adjust, and one of the changes many farmers may consider, if they haven’t already, is a pivot to regenerative agriculture practices. Regenerative agriculture could have a profound impact on the world over the next half-century, so now may be a good time to gain an understanding of the practice.

What is regenerative agriculture?

Regenerative agriculture is a production system that focuses on reducing water

usage and other inputs as part of a larger attempt to prevent land degradation and deforestation. According to the organization Green America, regenerative agriculture is designed to harness the power of photosynthesis in plants to sequester carbon in the soil. The ability to do that can improve soil health, crop yields, water resilience, and nutrient density.

Why should people be interested in regenerative agriculture?

Green America notes that regenerative agriculture draws down atmospheric carbon dioxide. That’s a significant benefit, as Climate.gov, which is a product of various

departments within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), reports that adding more carbon dioxide to the environment is causing global temperatures to rise. In fact, observations from the NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory in 2021 revealed that carbon dioxide alone was responsible for about two-thirds of the total heating influence of all human-produced greenhouse gases.

Another reason to consider regenerative agriculture is its connection to topsoil. Green America reports that the world is on the cusp of running out of topsoil, which is vital to growing food. Regenerative agriculture rebuilds

The future of agriculture

The agricultural industry is continually evolving. In addition to an increase in food demand due to a growing global population, factors leading to change include consumer habits, technology, and policies. In the future, the agricultural sector may look different in several ways.

Bigger digital footprint

Social media has transformed many industries, and it can do the same for agriculture. Farming supply chains can communicate with one another by getting feedback from customers in real time through social media. However, agricultural operations

may have to devote extra time to manage social media presence, especially since misinformation is so widespread on social media.

Apart from social media, local farmers may increase their efforts to utilize mobile apps and directto-consumer purchasing options. The global pandemic helped businesses reimagine takeout and curbside shopping. Local farms may consider marketing to the home-shopping community, providing ways to deliver produce, fresh meat and poultry, and other items direct to customers’ homes.

Regenerative agriculture

The future may feature a significant shift in the way farms source their ingredients. Farmers may try regenerative agriculture, which describes farming and grazing practices that may help reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity.

Technological advancement

Technology will likely continue to play important and growing roles in farming operations. New agricultural technologies can collect data on soil and

topsoil, which can lead to greater food security across the globe.

What are some regenerative agriculture practices?

Regenerative agriculture practices include the use of cover crops, a reduction in tilling, crop rotation, and spreading compost. Green America notes that regenerative agriculture practitioners also avoid the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and factory farming.

As the climate shift continues to challenge the agricultural sector, regenerative agriculture could help farmers and the larger industry to mitigate this problem.

plant health and produce results in real time. Precision farming technology can be developed to deliver integrated solutions no matter the size of the operation.

Shift in what products are grown

Certain crops are being utilized in new and innovative ways, and they’re only the start as consumers have expanded their views on plant-based foods and products.

While there’s no way to see into the future, individuals can likely expect changes in the agricultural sector in the decades ahead.

Food for all: The link between agriculture and food security

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) notes that food security means all individuals, regardless of their physical or economic circumstances, have access to sufficient food to meet the dietary needs for a productive, healthy life. Food security is a more significant issue than people may recognize, even in fully developed countries. For example, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service indicates that slightly more than 10%

of U.S. households were food insecure at some point during 2021. In fact, estimates suggest more than 800 million people around the globe go to bed hungry every night.

Food security and the agricultural industry are inextricably linked. The USAID indicates that most of the people who go to bed hungry at night are smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture to make a living and feed themselves and their families.

Supporting efforts to strengthen the agricultural industry can help to combat food insecurity, as the USAID reports that growth within that sector has been found to be at least twice as effective at reducing poverty as growth in other sectors. That trend may be due in part to the disproportionate percentage of people in need who live in rural rather than urban areas. Data from the 2019 American Community Survey indicates the poverty rate in rural areas in the U.S. was 15.4% in

2019 compared to 11.9% in urban areas.

To help improve food security, individuals in rural and urban communities can voice their support for efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector. They may also support this sector by purchasing locally grown food and shopping at farmers markets.

A thriving agricultural sector can ensure fewer people go to bed hungry each night and bolster the economies of rural communities.

Sophia Garza, the program appealed because both wanted to learn about new topics and potential careers.

“Engineering seems so fun, and it’s something I’ve thought about going into,” shared Mar, a freshman. “I think this program will show me more opportunities of what I might do for a career in engineering.”

Sophia agreed, adding that she was particularly interested in coding. “When you have an opportunity like today, you should take it,” said the ninth-grader. “It’s a good opportunity to learn more about STEM careers and develop a background in that in case I want to do something like that in the future.”

Atwood emphasized that the day was designed to introduce the girls to engineering through hands-on projects and interaction with engineering faculty and students. Ultimately, she hopes events like Introduce a Girl to Engineering will close the industry’s gender gap.

According to a DiscoverE and Global Strategy Group research study, only 11% of female high

school students are interested in the engineering field, compared to 24% of males. The Elizabethtown College event was part of a nationwide campaign to increase the number of women in engineering fields. It was funded in part through a Lancaster County STEM Alliance diversity, equity and inclusion grant.

“I didn’t know any engineers when I was in high school and wasn’t sure about it as a career path, but I went into college and found that I loved it,” Atwood stated. “I hope that we can inspire
