Providing programs that promote positive choices
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
For 25 years, Elizabethtown Area Communities That Care (EACTC) has been working to improve the lives of others. The organization is going strong, serving even more people with programs for school-age children and youths in the Elizabethtown Area School District.
“This year it will be 25 years that Elizabethtown Area Communities That Care has brought programs, initiatives and partnerships into our Elizabethtown community that directly benefit our youth and their families and help them avoid the use of drugs and alcohol and other highrisk behaviors,” said executive director Gail Viscome. “The PA Youth Survey and our program outcomes help us monitor youth risky behaviors, social-emotional concerns and help us track our successes.”
As times change, EACTC has pivoted, focusing on current needs. “The past several years have been especially hard for our students as they have had to face so many more challenges than expected, somewhat due to the ongoing lingering impact of COVID both academically and socially,” she shared. “Also, there continue to be lasting impacts of the opioid crisis in our community. … We have worked hard this year to continue to provide and expand our research-based programs and initiatives.”
Viscome noted that EACTC hosts a mentoring and tutoring program called Homework Helpers for students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades who are struggling academically. In the fall
of 2023, EACTC expanded the program to high-school students.
EACTC has also expanded its Club Ophelia program for girls, adding new groups for sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders to the middle school program that’s been running for 20 years.
“We have also been running the Club Ophelia program at Bear Creek in the fall and spring and added a pilot program at Bear Creek for girls on navigating friendships on social media that is resulting in updated curriculum,” Viscome said.
Additional programs of EACTC include the Paws and Think Social Norming Club, which disseminates information to help students make positive decisions regarding drugs and alcohol use, as well as PEP Club, a college-student-run after-school program at Bear Creek that provides fun
activities to promote friendship skills and teach positive ways to express emotions. EACTC also recognized 71 students this past year with Do the Right Thing awards, honoring them for random acts of kindness and other positive behavior, and recognized 69 students for improvement in grades, behavior or attitude at its Turn Around event in May.
Additionally, EACTC coordinates the Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) program, providing all ninth-grade students with tools to assist classmates with getting help to prevent suicide.
In the greater community, EACTC expanded its prescription take back program to include an additional event. “EACTC partners with Northwest Regional Police at Giant for the National Prescription Take Back Days
to help advertise the events,” Viscome remarked. “In 2023, we collected over 345 pounds of prescription medication. A total of 3,936 pounds have been collected since the start of the program.”
Although EACTC programs are supported by grants from several sources, the organization can always use financial help, Viscome said.
“We are doing all these programs with much less grant funding than we have ever had,” she said. “We need to find community resources to take care of our community’s children. … We also are looking for community volunteers for our Homework Helpers program where we help students complete their work to prevent them from failing one or more classes.”
Viscome said the services provided by EACTC are needed more

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

Modern automobiles are technological marvels. As advancements in automotive technology have made cars more reliable than ever, drivers may feel as though vehicle ownership also is more hands-off than ever before. Though it’s true that built-in diagnostic technology is designed to alert drivers to certain issues, it can still benefit motorists to recognize when certain issues may arise.
Cars and the people who drive them are different, so mileage intervals are not always the best measuring stick for maintenance issues. However, the following rundown can serve as a guidebook for drivers who want to know what to expect at various
mileage intervals.
• 30,000 miles: The experts at Auto Trader note that disposable engine air filters usually last between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. If it’s been about 30,000 miles since the engine air filter has been replaced, it would be a good time to replace this important part, which prevents components like dirt and debris from getting into the engine. This also might be a good time to replace the fuel filter, which prevents debris from clogging fuel injectors.
• 50,000 to 60,000 miles: It’s about this time that drivers may need to replace their vehicle batteries. Little-used vehicles may need a new battery much earlier, as lengthy periods
of little or no use adversely affect the life expectancy of vehicle batteries. Brakes also may need to be replaced about this time, as the experts at AutoZone note that most drivers get between two and five years out of a set of brake pads. If that sounds like a significant range, it is, and that’s because driver behavior is a significant variable affecting the life of the pads. Drivers who brake hard will likely need to replace their brake pads with greater frequency than drivers who brake slowly.
• 50,000 to 90,000 miles: As noted, there is no uniform guideline governing when vehicle components will need to be replaced. Hoses are a good example of that, as recommendations regarding when to replace hoses range from 50,000 to 90,000 miles. That’s a significant range, but drivers can be on the safe side
and start discussing the status of their hoses with their mechanics around the 50,000-mile marker. It’s unlikely the hoses will make it all the way to 90,000 miles before they need to be replaced, but drivers can keep that mileage marker in mind and aim to replace the hoses before that point even if no issue has arisen. Timing belts also tend to fail between 80,000 and 100,000 miles, so this is another part to consider replacing as a vehicle reaches this point. These mileage markers are not set in stone and should only serve as a guideline for drivers who want to stay ahead of vehicle repairs. Drivers also are urged to discuss any additional changes that might be necessary with their mechanics during routine maintenance appointments.

“Research now shows that delaying the age of experimentation with drugs and alcohol can significantly reduce an individual’s chances of developing a substance use disorder,” she shared. “Kids 13 and younger who are using substances have a 70% chance of developing an addiction within seven years. Truly the adage ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ applies. Good communication and problem-solving skills and bonding with others with clear standards helps strengthen good decision-making for our young people.”

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.

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, fundraisers, 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.”

Every year, Mennonite Life organizes Maize and Snitz Fest to explore precolonial history and the culture of Lancaster’s earlier inhabitants, including indigenous tribes and settlers who lived in the area prior to the mid-18th century. Children’s activities will include crafts, popular games from the 18th century and a scavenger hunt. Throughout the day, interpreters will hold demonstrations near the Herr House and the property’s longhouse replica to offer a glimpse of the customs, industries and traditional foods enjoyed in the 1700s. Artisan vendors will sell traditional Native Amer -
ican and European crafts, and a variety of locally made, culturally significant food such as apple dumplings, whoopie pies and snitz fry pies will be available to purchase.

Model railroad club sets open houses
The Masonic Village and Elizabethtown Model Train Railroad Club will kick off a new season with open houses from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5 and 6.
Food historian and author William Woys Weaver will exhibit a collection of heirloom seeds, including many seeds currently found in the kitchen garden of the Herr House and the three sisters garden adjacent to the longhouse replica. Both gardens will be open to guests, and Weaver’s seeds will be available to purchase. Local author and Mennonite Life member Lynette Leaman Brenneman will offer a storytelling activity for children as well as a book signing during the event.
Students from Franklin & Marshall College will attend Maize and Snitz Fest to present their research of the Carlisle Indian School. Through a partnership with Native American advocacy group Circle Legacy Center, the students have researched the history of the residential boarding school. From 1879 to 1918, Native American children were separated from their families and sent to the school to assimilate to European culture, and many of the children were
Fundraiser to aid American Cancer Society
A restaurant fundraiser benefiting the American Cancer Society’s Men Wear Pink campaign will be held on Thursday, Oct. 3, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, 925 Plaza Blvd., Lancaster.
A portion of all food and soft beverage sales will be donated to the American Cancer Society when customers present the fundraising flyer. The offer is valid when
people dine in, use curbside pickup, or place a takeout order; it cannot be used on delivery orders, alcoholic beverages, or happy hour specials.

For many years, the Mennonite Life event was known as Snitz Fest, referring to apples that Pennsylvania Dutch settlers cut and dried to preserve. After the construction of the longhouse replica, Mennonite Life renamed the event Maize and Snitz Fest to highlight both Native American and Pennsylvania Dutch cultures. “People are often unfamiliar with stories of indigenous people and how they interacted with European immigrants,” said Heather Strahin, Mennonite Life’s museum administrator. “A lot of people seem to have an idea that this was just a vast wilderness, and it couldn’t be further from the truth.” In Mennonite Life’s video room, located at 2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster, visitors can view a map of the many Native American groups that populated the area before its colonization.
For more information, visit https://mennonite life.org.
The club’s train display includes more than 1,600 feet of track encompassing seven train gauge sizes from G scale, also called garden scale, to the tiny Z scale. The club has operated on the Masonic Village campus since 1997.
For more information about the club, visit www .mvemodelrailroadclub .com or search for “MV&E Model Railroad Club” on Facebook.
The Railroad Club building is on Freemason Drive on the grounds of Masonic Village in Elizabethtown. Once on campus, follow the directional signs. Parking is available.
Trains stand ready on the tracks in the Masonic Village and Elizabethtown Model Train Railroad Club’s train layout.

Student representatives join school board
PLACE AN AD
bit.ly/epcclassifieds
The Elizabethtown Area School District has announced a new initiative to promote student voice by including two high school students as non-voting representatives on the district’s school board. Senior Emma Griffith and junior Anika Walsh began their terms at the school board’s workshop session held on Sept. 10.
The new program aims to foster open dialogue between school directors and students at Elizabethtown Area High School. Emma and Anika will present the student body’s perspectives to the board, allowing students to have a voice in decisions that impact their educational experience.
Key objectives of the student representative program are to empower student voice through direct representation;
provide students with a valuable, real-world experience in the democratic process; educate students on the process that goes into improving education; afford students with an opportunity to experience actual, legal policymaking firsthand; increase students’ knowledge of local government systems; inform students and their parents of important school policy decisions; serve as a source of regular student feedback for school administrators; and embed the district’s Life Ready Model into school board operations.
The student representatives will attend the public committee workshop meetings from September through May, offering regular input to support the district’s goal of making informed and inclusive decisions.
