EAHS marks graduation

EACTC supports students

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

For 24 years, Elizabethtown Area Communities That Care (EACTC) has been offering programs and partnerships that benefit youths and families. As the school year ended, the nonprofit celebrated the success of its programs in the Elizabethtown Area School District.

In May, EACTC held its annual Turn Around Recognition Breakfast at The Gathering Place, spotlighting more than 50 students in grades six through 12 who had made improvements in their grades, behavior,

attendance or attitude at school. “Each student received gift bags and certificates as well as additional prizes as they each shared their stories of success,” remarked Gail Viscome, executive director. “It is always a wonderful event.”

EACTC’s Club Ophelia program expanded this year to two programs at the middle school and two at Bear Creek School, with an additional four-week pilot program to address online friendships, Viscome said. Club Ophelia is a weekly afterschool program helping preteen and teen girls address concerns, combat

Elizabethtown

Area High School’s Class of 2023 celebrated graduation on May 25 at the LCBC Manheim campus. Luke

Risser was named valedictorian, and Andrea Rodriguez was named salutatorian.

“Our class … has had a complicated four years of high school,” Luke told his fellow classmates in his speech. “On top of the complications of the pandemic, we found ourselves in the midst of one of the most complicated periods of our lives.” He talked about class loads, jobs, extracurricular activities and trying to figure out life after high school. He also urged his peers to focus on simplicity when things seem complicated.

“As we enter the more complicated world of adulthood, simplicity might sound like an outdated or childish idea,” he stated. “But I believe that simplicity can still be found in this stage of life, and it might even be exactly what we need.”

Luke quoted football coach Lou Holtz in his speech, focusing on the four things Holtz said everyone needs. These are something to do, someone to love, something to believe in and something to hope for.

“Whenever I’ve been anxious about my future or frustrated with the way some things are in this world, my faith in God has given me peace of mind,” Luke said. “I know that my hope is found in greater things than my earthly worries. When life gets complicated, having a belief system to turn to simplifies things, restoring a sense of perspective about what is truly important.”

Andrea spoke about how senior year is a unique time because it’s filled with both firsts and lasts, all packed into a few short months. She also referred to the pandemic’s influence on the class and emphasized that the Class of 2023 is strong. “It is individuals such as you and me who wield the power to inspire positive change in others and fearlessly advocate for what is right,” she said. “Never let anyone

tell you that you are not important enough to make a difference. Big change comes from individuals who are brave enough to voice their opinions and ideas, no matter how small they may seem.”

She cautioned against complacency and living life only for the milestones. “It is what we do with the time in between these significant moments that infuses meaning into our lives and to occasions like this,” she said. “Therefore, I urge each and every one of you to relentlessly pursue your passions, spend time with the people you love and make a lasting impact in your community.”

Concluding her speech, Andrea asked her classmates to close their eyes and imagine their younger selves in kindergarten. “Think about how proud kindergarten you would be of the person you’ve become,” she said. “Now open your eyes, and with the joy of a kindergartner, let’s congratulate our classmates and accept our diplomas because we’re finally high school graduates.”

Celebrate with Marietta Fireworks

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

If you go to see Marietta Fireworks this year, be prepared to be wowed. “This is the biggest show we have done yet,” said Gary Schatz, who has been organizing the event since 2018. “We have scripted the show to be 35 minutes plus.”

Schatz explained that the show can be “scripted” because the majority of it is now electronic, meaning the fireworks are programmed and shot off with a remote. The show will also still include some manual fireworks as

well, he noted. “We’ve been working on transitioning to more electronics over the past three or four years, and this is the second time we’ll be doing a lot of electronics,” Schatz stated.

The fireworks will begin at approximately 9:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 1, in War Memorial Park, 344 E. Walnut St., Marietta. “We say ‘approximately’ because it’s completely dependent on the conditions,” Schatz explained. “If it’s not quite dark or it’s raining, we will have to adjust that time until it stops raining.”

bullying and develop healthy friendship skills. “The program is more popular than ever with 40 students and 16 mentors in the program at Bear Creek this fall - the largest number we have had in one session,” Viscome noted. EACTC also started a campaign this year called 100 Women Supporting Girls, designed to promote Club

Ophelia and to help cover the cost of the club’s programming so it can be offered free to participants. Donations are needed for the program, Viscome said, adding, “This is a powerful opportunity for you to give back to the community in a meaningful way while changing lives right here in Elizabethtown.”

EACTC facilitates the Paws and Think Club at the high school, which expanded to

more than 100 students this year. “They spread positive messages throughout the school and community through posters, candy grams, T-shirts and other creative activities,” Viscome shared.

Club members also participated in the Sticker Shock campaign, placing more than 3,000 stickers on beer cases and pizza boxes with a message reminding adults not to serve alcohol to minors.

New this year, EACTC started a program called Homework Helpers in collaboration with the counseling department at the middle school.

The program pairs community volunteers who give an hour or two of time each week to help students with their schoolwork.

Additionally, EACTC recognized more than 30 students in the district over the past year with Do the Right Thing Awards for exhibiting acts of kindness and setting an example for others.

Donations for EACTC programs may be made at https://secure.qgiv.com/for /eactc. For more information or to volunteer with an EACTC program, contact Viscome at 717-341-7961.

The Lancaster Public Library is continuing its Fabulas Campaign to help fund its new building, which will officially open on June 27. As of May, the organization still needed to raise $600,000 of the $10 million required for the project.

In its new location, the library will anchor the first two floors of the Christian Street Parking Garage, facing Barney Ewell Plaza in the 100 block of North Queen Street. The library’s new home will be larger, brighter and more accessible, and it will feature updated technology and spaces and resources designed for today’s library patrons. The library will feature more usable space, children’s and

young adult areas, program spaces and meeting rooms, Wi-Fi and an outdoor terrace. Additionally, the new Business and Reference Center and its professional librarians will continue to provide free access to databases and other information to serve local businesses.

The library’s services range from story times and STEM programs for kids to jobhunting resources for adults. For information on specific naming or recognition opportunities, contact Jamie Hall at jhall@lancasterpubliclibrary.or g or 717-394-2651, ext. 119. Additional information about the campaign is available at www.lancasterpublic library.org/fabulas.

Fireworks frompg 1

Before the fireworks display, people are invited to a celebration at Community Bible Church, 331 Anderson Ferry Road, Marietta. It will include family activities, food trucks and live bluegrass music from Ironwood Drive Band. The church makes a perfect viewing spot for the fireworks, Schatz said, noting that people can also

watch the display from War Memorial Park.

Marietta Fireworks is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, and it relies on donations from the community to operate. “We are an allvolunteer organization,”

Schatz remarked. “No one takes any salary. We have about 40 people on the team, and we put a lot of man

hours into this.”

He noted that donations for Marietta Fireworks will be accepted at the church, including donations for parking, with all proceeds bene-

fiting the organization.

Manheim Church Softball League marks 50 years

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

The Manheim Church Softball League will celebrate its 50th year of slowpitch softball on Saturday, June 24, with fun for the whole family. The celebration will take place at the league’s main field, the pool field located adjacent to Manheim Central High School, 400 E. Adele Ave.

“We’re calling this All-Star Saturday,” said Mike Givler, president of the league. “We’ll have two all-star games as well as a home run derby and a reunion game.”

The reunion game will kick off the festivities at 2 p.m. “This is open to alumni of the league, and it’s basically an old-timer’s game,” Givler said. “It’s an opportunity for players who no longer play to relive their glory days.” The first all-star game will be held at 3:30 p.m., followed by the 5 p.m. home run derby for church league players. The second all-star game will begin at 6:30 p.m. “Each team is picking three all-stars from their team for the games,” Givler explained.

Along with the games, a variety of food trucks will be on-site, with food available for purchase by donation. The expenses for the food trucks are being covered by an anonymous donor, Givler said, and all donations will benefit the Home on Ferdinand and Teen Central in Manheim.

There are currently 17 teams in the league, from churches in towns throughout the county, including Manheim, Elizabethtown, East Petersburg and Bird-in-Hand. Although the league is celebrating its 50th anniversary of slowpitch, it actually began 70 years ago as a fast-pitch league, Givler said, adding, “I believe we are one of the longest continually running softball leagues in the state.”

Over the years, the league has produced a few famous alumni, including Chris Heisey, who played Major League Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds,

Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals from 2010 to 2017.

Givler, who typically plays an infield position, also serves as a league umpire and has been a member of the league since 1985. “I like to compete, but I also like the fellowship and camaraderie of the players and churches,” he said. He also credits the league’s longevity to the support of a group of volunteers. “This league doesn’t happen year after year without lots of people helping,” he stated. “From making schedules, to the umpires, to having the teams ready to go night

after night, there are just so many great people in this league.”

All-Star Saturday is an opportunity to not only focus on the league and its history, but also honor the game and give back to the community, Givler said. “It’s going to be a great community event, with good food and fun,” he stated. “You’re going to see some really talented softball players, and you’ll be able to see some players from yesteryear try to shake off the rust and come out and play.”

Tours to feature rare butterflies

During the months of June and July, the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) wildlife staff will provide free guided tours showcasing the rare regal fritillary butterflies at Fort Indiantown Gap (FTIG), near Annville.

Reservations are required and attendance is limited. All attendees, including children, must register at www.ftig.isportsman.net/ ButterflyTours.aspx and obtain a free permit. To attend a tour, participants must present a permit for that specific date and time slot.

Guided tours will be offered, rain or shine, on Friday, June 30; Saturday, July 1; Friday, July 7; and Saturday, July 8. No rain dates will be provided.

Attendees will be required to travel from the meeting location to the tour location in their personal vehicles. Tours will last approximately one hour plus driving time. Meeting location and parking information will be provided after obtaining a permit.

Visitors of all ages and abilities are welcome to attend. Tours will be on foot on gravel roads and mowed paths. Attendees should bring drinking water and wear appropriate clothing and footwear for uneven terrain. Wandering off the path, into the fields, or away from the tour guide is prohibited. There will be little or no shade on the tour route.

Like many military installations, FTIG is home to a diverse population of plants

and animals, many of which are rare and considered species of conservation concern. It is home to 49 species of mammals, 143 species of breeding birds, 37 species of reptiles and amphibians, 35 species of fish, more than 800 species of plants and many notable species of invertebrates, including 86 species of butterflies and more than 500 species of moths.

These species persist at FTIG because it provides an assortment of high-quality habitats. These habitats include rare early successional ecosystems such as grasslands, thickets, shrub lands and young forests, which were created and maintained from disturbances caused by military training, fires and conserva-

tion efforts. The installation is home to 1,000 acres of scrub oak and pitch pine barrens and approximately 2,200 acres of native grassland habitat.

FTIG, which serves as headquarters to the DMVA and the Pennsylvania National Guard (PNG), is a live-fire, maneuver military training facility in Pennsylvania. The 17,000-acre installation balances one of the region’s most ecologically diverse areas with a military mission that annually supports nearly 18,000 PNG personnel and more than 113,000 additional personnel from other branches of service, multinational partners and interagency partners at the federal, state and local levels.

For general inquiries about the tours, email RA-DMVA -Wildlife@pa.gov or call 717-861-3299.

Trail application available for Apple devices

The Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA) has announced that the Susquehanna NHA app is now available on the App Store for IOS users. Created through a partnership with Franklin & Marshall College computer science course students in 2021, the app was first made available through Google Play under the name Susquehanna NHA Trails.

The app is part of SNHA’s ongoing mission to connect visitors to the outdoor recreation amenities along the Susquehanna River. In the app, trail access areas, parking information, restroom facilities, and heritage sites are listed individually for major regional trails and nature preserves. The app also allows Susque-

hanna NHA to send notifications about trail updates or construction. Users can also check to see if the James D. Warner Passageway under the Shock’s Mill Bridge on the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail is flooded. This waterfront passageway floods during spring freshets and on occasion in the summer. There is no available trail detour, so it is helpful for users to check before hitting the trail.

The application has event and contact information for Susquehanna NHA to better connect its community to riverfront initiatives.

Another feature of the app allows users to submit trail maintenance requests. Trail users can submit the trail name, the mile marker, and

a photo of the issue. This interactive component is designed to help trail managers keep local trails clear and accessible.

For links directly to the apps on the App Store and Google Play, visit www.susqnha.org and click Maps & Guides.

The SNHA connects the people and communities of Lancaster and York counties to one another and to the nation through stories about the area. The organization aims to welcome visitors, cultivate partnerships, and nurture a strong regional identity.
