SHINE brings lasagna to locals

BY ANN MEAD ASH

Afewyears ago, Crystal Smeltzer and Brian French, Lighthouse Vocational Services’ (LVS) senior management, were brainstorming ideas to get LVS participants out into the community in a way that would give back to local residents. LVS is located at 144 Orlan Road, New Holland, and the organization provides vocational services for individuals with disabilities.

“They were thinking, ‘Everybody loves to eat, and Lancaster County is famous for food,’” said Michelle Coblentz, donor relations advocate with LVS. The co-workers hit on the idea of making and delivering lasagna to area residents who were struggling in some way. The effort came to be known as SHINE, which Coblentz said stands for “Sharing Hope In Neighborly Encounters.”

Until June 2023, two meals were being delivered each Wednesday, but as of June, two meals go out on Tuesdays as well. Each meal consists of a tray of lasagna to feed up

to 20, along with a freshly made salad for each person at the home where the meal is being delivered.

“Meals go to people who are needing encouragement - maybe going through some kind of rough patch … whether it’s an illness, hospitalization, death of a spouse, or (they) just don’t have a lot of food,” explained Coblentz.

Denise Johnston, community participation services coordinator with LVS, explained that three participants and an LVS coach work out of two area churches that have partnered with the organization, switching back and forth between using the Trinity Lutheran Church kitchen and the kitchen at Bethany Grace Christian Fellowship. “The same group that purchases the groceries goes to the church and prepares the meal, and then they deliver the meal,” she stated.

At first, word of mouth was the best way to find meal recipients, but as the program has grown, Johnston requested names from sites where LVS participants volunteer in the community. More

Three decades of ASSETS

“Historically, we’ve done a lot of work in Lancaster city,” said Kevin Nofziger, business development officer with ASSETS. “But more of our clients are coming from all over the county.”

On Tuesday, Sept. 12, ASSETS will celebrate 30 years serving Lancaster with an event at Southern Market, 100 S. Queen St., Lancaster. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets, which are necessary to attend the event, called ASSETS at 30, may be purchased at https://assets-at-30.eventbrite.com.

create stateside opportunities for entrepreneurs. “We are a CDFI (community development financial institution),” said Nofziger, who noted the organization plans to expand beyond Lancaster County. ASSETS can offer loans from $1,000 to $50,000. Three main lending products are available: a small business loan of up to $10,000; an impact loan of up to $30,000; and a special Reimagining Our Community loan of up to $10,000 for one year at 1%, accompanied by a 30% matching grant.

Girls on the Run (GOTR) is always active, always evolving, always moving forward.

A national initiative designed to support the development of girls in the third through eighth grades with physical activities like running, GOTR has a mission that is seasonal in nature. On the heels of a successful spring campaign, the Lancaster chapter of GOTR is currently gearing up for its 10-week fall season, which will get underway on Monday, Sept. 11.

In addition, Girls on the Run recently assigned new positions and responsibilities to employees Jennifer West and Kylie Homan.

“While Girls on the Run has two seasons, it is a year-round effort to ensure the success of each season,” said West, GOTR’s new executive director. “As a staff, it’s our responsibility to set up our coaches for success. Then it all starts again. We’re always thinking of how we can engage the community more. We know how important it is for girls to have a safe place to land.”

Registration for GOTR’s fall campaign will run from Thursday, Aug. 10, through Friday, Sept. 15. The season will conclude on Sunday, Nov. 19, with GOTR’s inclusive and celebratory 5K run at Millersville University.

“My job is to ensure our program is up and running so we can serve as many girls in the county as possible,” said Homan, GOTR’s new program director. “It’s about establishing our coaches so they can facilitate the program. Running is a component of our program, not a requirement. In each of the

lessons, there are physical activity or games. We are encouraging girls to keep moving, based on the ability they bring each day.”

GOTR officials hope to make their program available through every school district in Lancaster County, an initiative that will depend upon the availability of volunteer coaches. There is a cost associated with the program, and financial aid is available.

In the spring, GOTR involved 900 Lancaster County girls, thanks in part to the time and effort committed by 380 volunteer coaches.

“Because they’re all volunteer coaches, it’s almost like starting fresh each season,” said West. “We rely on coaches coming back to coach the girls. We’re looking for positive role models to show kindness and compassion to the girls.”

“We are really focusing on reaching out to the community for coaches of all shapes, sizes and ethnicity,” added West. “It’s really important for the girls to look into the coaches and see themselves. There aren’t really restrictions on who can be a coach, except that you must be in at least the ninth grade.”

West, who co-founded the Lancaster-Lebanon chapter of Girls on the Run in 2009, replaced Katie Sandoe as the program’s executive director. This past spring, GOTR served its 20,000th participant.

“We knew Lancaster County was going to be so accepting of the program,” said West. “Girls on the Run is about conflict resolution, making good choices, being a good friend. Lancaster is the perfect spot for Girls on the Run, but we do rely on the community’s support.”

president and historian, noting that the Churchtown Day tradition began in 1984. “The only time we did not have it was in 2020 because of the (pandemic).”

Caernarvon Historical Society will also host a flea market at its property, 2148 Main St., Narvon, and at the property next door, at Caernarvon Township Park. “We use the property where the (Caernarvon Elementary) school was and in front of our building,” said Styer, noting that sales will be held both inside and outside the historical society building. “We will have books and all kinds of kitchen items - anything and everything.”

Those interested in renting a yard sale space in the park are asked to call Styer at 717-4455040 or stop by the historical society any Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Vendors will get a 12-foot-wide space, and they must bring their own tables. Vendors are responsible for cleaning up any debris and items they do not sell. The historical society reserves the right to refuse yard sale vendors that are not offering family-friendly items for sale.

In addition, the Caernarvon Fire Company will offer a pancake breakfast from 6 to 10 a.m. The menu will include pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit, orange juice and coffee. There will be separate prices for adults and children ages 4 to 10. Pulled pork will also be sold by the quart for takeout only.

“They did not have a pancake breakfast for the past few years; it is returning this year,” Styer noted. “It was takeout before because of (the pandemic). This

year, you can come in and eat, and it’s all you can eat.”

The fire company is located at 2145 Main St., Narvon. For more information, search for “Caernarvon Fire Company” on Facebook.

Proceeds from the flea market will benefit the society and the upkeep of its building, which includes a local history museum with displays of local artifacts. The building is open on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment. The building houses a library of history books and research books, obituaries and an archives room. Museum displays are changed several times a year. Currently on display are paintings by Morgantown artist Jere Brady.

The Caernarvon Historical Society is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to preserving the history of Caernarvon Township. The society was first established in 1975 and is located in the former Caernarvon Presbyterian Church. In addition to Churchtown Day in August, the society hosts a Memorial Day celebration and hosts history programs with local guest speakers. One is planned for the fall.

More information about the historical society can be found by searching for “Caernarvon Historical Society” on Facebook.

recently flyers with a QR code for comments have been delivered with the meal. The flyers ask meal recipients to suggest others who might enjoy being treated to lasagna.

The organization is now working with The Factory Ministries in Paradise to provide meals to some clients, as well as looking to bring meals to people in retirement communities

who could benefit from the interaction. Teams have also delivered meals to Revelations of Freedom Ministries in Blue Ball and to the Good Samaritan homeless shelter in Ephrata from December of 2022 through March. “We tried a couple other recipes, not just lasagna (for the homeless shelter),” noted Johnston.

Johnston estimated that more than 200 lasagna meals have been delivered

by SHINE since the program began. She pointed out that the LVS participants benefit from the opportunity to serve. “The participants make a connection,” she said. “They get so excited knowing they are blessing someone else, so when they get to see the person they made the lasagna for and visit with them it’s really rewarding.”

Recollections of a historical society member read every government pamphlet available on how to grow and process vegetables. She even canned meat and milk. By the time

Neither my mother nor my father knew anything about farming when they bought a working farm in 1936. They made friends with the neighboring Italian truck farmers who took a delight in teaching both of them the intricate art of growing vegetables. A neighbor farmer also showed them how to first buy a cow, then care for it and milk it. Many of these activities fell to my mother since Pop was away at his factory job in Philadelphia most of the day.

In the first spring, the neighbor showed Pop how to prepare the fields with his second-hand tractor. (The neighbors still used a horse.) Later, the women showed Mother how to seed, weed and harvest the product of all that labor. Mother also

DIRECTIONS: From Rt. 322 outside of Lincoln, turn NE on Hackman Rd. Go 1 mile to right turn on Spook Lane, to first buildings on the right.

HOUSE LISTING: An outstanding 102-acre beef/chicken/crop farm. Mostly square plotting, some of the best soil anywhere on the highly productive farm. Beautiful historic Limestone farmhouse dates back to 1764, has desirable 24’x13’ eat-in kitchen w/seating area; 23’x13’ living/ dining room; family room; storage room; ML laundry; mud room; 5 bedrooms; 1.5 bathrooms; beautiful stamped concrete patio; un-improved basement; oil furnace; updated windows; on-site septic.

ANIMAL BUILDINGS: Working chicken broiler house (Tyson contract) is 500’x44’ (max 29,000 birds) w/(2) 24-ton feed bins; 30-KW solar panels; steer barn has loafing area for 165-head beef; 20’x 60’ Harvestor silo (shelled corn unloader), (2) 18’x70’ concrete silos; 10’x55’ concrete solo; Rissler feed mixer; bunk feeder; 85-KW generator w/Cummins diesel engine serves the entire farm; (2) good water wells (tied together) w/UV lights.

STORAGE BUILDINGS: 88’x55’ steel equipment shed, 1 work bay has over-head door, concrete floor; older 60’x30 tobacco barn transformed into vehicle garage w/ finished lower level had small business w/office area. Clay Twp.; Ephrata S.D. This working farm is in Ag. Preserve and the Clean-Green program so taxes are only approx. $8,000.

AUCTIONEER NOTE: Truly a rare opportunity to buy one of the last original large working farms in the area. Approx. 95-acres are tillable. Fields are basically level but the rich limestone top-soil drains very well and grows tremendous crops. Provides diverse income for financial stability. Our understanding is the farm could be split in two parcels because it is over 100-acres. Ask your Attorney to see if this would work for you if wanted/needed. This farm needs nothing and is capable to start paying for itself the first day you own it.

OPEN HOUSE DATES: Saturdays, Aug. 5 & 12, from 1-3 PM. Call/Text Auctioneer 717-587-8906.

BRIEF TERMS: $300,000 down payment day of auction, balance in 75 days. Attorney Tony Schimaneck 717-299-5251. Crops are reserved from the auction. Farm will be sold by the acre x 102. Please visit our website www.martinandrutt.com

Farm Life

frompg 11

World War II began, she had mastered cooking on the wood stove so well that we were taking baked goods to the market each Saturday, along with dressed chickens.

In the late 1930s, most of the surrounding farms did not have electricity. My father, a licensed electrician, was contracted with Pennsylvania Gov. Gifford Pinchot’s electrification program to begin to remedy this. Pinchot’s administration had set up a work program that employed out-ofwork young men for three month stints to do muchneeded public services. This program was so successful that President Franklin D. Roosevelt took notice and worked with Pinchot to frame a new program on the same lines, first in New York, then nationally. Thus was formed the Works Progress Administration (WPA). My father had worked with the Pinchot Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) program in Chester County, planting trees in the Malvern area. The CCC eventually became a national program also.

During World War II, from 1941 to 1945, a blackout was imposed every night, and wardens were appointed to check around the neighborhood for those who did not comply with the order. There was a real fear of German bombing such as England was having every night. My father was a warden, doing random drives about the countryside looking for those who used flashlights or lanterns to go to the outhouse or barn. Even cigarettes were considered potential target material.

Our house, with its sixover-six two-century-old windows, was soon outfitted with tar paper “shades” that could be turned up during the day and dropped at night. Then, heavy curtains were drawn across the whole window well for total darkness. The daily sun made the tar paper emit a very distinctive odor, which even in 2023, I can still remember.

Regrettably, when the peace treaty was finally signed, my father sold the farm, and we moved back to suburban Philadelphia.
