Hempfield alumnus featured in national photography exhibition
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
According to Emmett
Orgass, there is a peculiar and intangible experience shared by every human being on the planet. Orgass, an avid photographer and a native of Landisville who now resides in Seattle, said he believes a mysterious veneer lies between each individual and strangers around them. Although the process of breaching this barrier may seem daunting, Orgass claims that it’s well worth the effort.
“It feels like you have to break the bubble of surface tension before you can connect with strangers,” Orgass said. “The process is stressful, but it’s joyful. We all experience it, but we don’t have the words to talk about it.”
Orgass explores the concept of
barriers between strangers in an ongoing series that is more experimental than his previous work. Through thoughtfully crafted photo shoots and avant-garde techniques, Orgass weaves the subjects of his work into images that are as surreal as the phenomenon that inspired them. “Shared Territory,” one of Orgass’ photos from the series, was selected among 47 other pieces to be featured in Photographic Center Northwest’s 26th annual juried exhibition, “Being Present.” The exhibition opened on June 27, and it was curated from more than 2,500 submissions from artists around the globe. Orgass won second place for his work, which will remain on display until the exhibition closes on Sunday, Aug. 11.
Orgass drew inspiration for
“Shared Territory” and the other photos in his series from his experience moving across the country and exploring an unfamiliar city. Orgass moved to Seattle in February 2022, and he said his recent work is informed by feelings of isolation and confusion that he experienced as he braved a new frontier.
After graduating from Hempfield High School in 2017, Orgass moved to Clinton, N.Y., to study at Hamilton University. Although Orgass is now a prolific photographer with an expansive portfolio, he only discovered his calling to the camera four years ago as he studied abroad in Chile. Orgass said his mother convinced him to bring his camera on the trip, and he discovered a love for photography that continued to grow after the trip was cut short

Compass Mark wants to be an ideological lightning rod and a guiding light in the community. The nonprofit approaches its mission through three guiding principles - “follow the science,” “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and “the sooner the better.”
The ultimate goal is to manage and curb addiction or control the behavioral part of it that can be controlled.
“Compass Mark can help you get to where you want to go in life; we can keep you on the right path,” said Teri Miller-Landon, Compass Mark’s director of programs.
“There’s so much science out there on what leads kids to addiction. We’re not preaching abstinence. We’re trying to delay use as much as possible. We’re teaching them
Mentors and members of Compass Mark’s Leaders of Future Generations program, which seeks to develop skills in students who exhibit leadership abilities, stand beneath a billboard they designed for DUI Council of Lancaster County’s alcohol awareness program.

to make other choices and to connect with people in healthy ways.”
Headquartered at 1891 Santa Barbara Drive, Suite 104, Lancaster, Compass Mark attempts to reach children in kindergarten through grade 12 before alcohol, drugs and gambling do. It drives its message home through workshops, skill-building, student assistance programs and good old-fashioned communication and interaction.
Last school year, Compass Mark connected with 8,000 kids in 66 schools from 28 school districts in Lancaster, Lebanon and Chester counties.
“Before I came here, I didn’t know what prevention was,” said Tim Steffen, director of development and communications at Compass Mark. “We want to make clear how prevention works. We’re actually saving lives. For every dollar spent on pre -
vention, you’re saving $18 in the future. You’re saving taxpayers by nipping it in the bud.”
Some of the factors that put kids at risk for addiction include low commitment toward school, parental attitudes favorable toward antisocial behavior, low perceived risk of drug use and low neighborhood attachment.
“For kids 13 or younger who use any kind of substance, they have a 70% chance to develop an addiction in seven years,” said Miller-Landon. “We use data to know what’s going on in our community. It’s things we need to target as we design our programs. It’s much, much easier to prevent bad habits from starting than to try and change them. That’s much of the thinking. Sometimes substance abuse can lead to contact with the criminal justice system and a criminal record.”
Overseen by a board of directors, Compass Mark employs 20 full-time workers and about 20 part-time staff members, all trained to deliver the curriculum.
“A lot of people are skeptical about prevention,” said Miller-Landon. “But prevention works. It’s about talking to kids often and talking to kids early. When kids are younger, they’re sponges. They just soak it in. They’re at an age when they still think (adults) know what they’re talking about.”
Compass Mark was founded in 1966 as the National Council for Alcoholism, Lancaster County. Then the organization’s scope was broadened in the 1970s and ’80s to include a focus on preventing illegal drug use, and later gambling.
“We’ve evolved with the community,” said Steffen. For additional information on Compass Mark, go to www.compassmark.org.
Beef Summer Field Day planned
The Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association will host the annual Beef Summer Field Day on Saturday, Aug. 10, at Wen-Crest Farms, 549 Schaeffer Road, Lebanon, to help beef producers learn more about their industry. Arrival and registration will run from 8 to 8:30 a.m., and the last seminar will begin at 1 p.m.
The field day will begin with a presentation by Ron Gill, professor and extension livestock specialist from Texas A&M University. Gill, who will speak on “Stockmanship and Stewardship,” has won multiple awards in the beef industry education sector and specializes in lowstress livestock handling.
Next on the docket will be Derrell Peele from Oklahoma State University, who will give the presentation “Cattle Markets and Outlook.” An agricultural economics professor and extension specialist for livestock marketing, Peele works in all areas of livestock production economics and marketing for all beef cattle production sectors. Additionally, he works in the area of international cattle and beef trade and has particular
expertise in the Mexican cattle and beef industry.
Several beef-related organizations will give updates at lunch, including a Washington, D.C., update from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA).
After lunch, Dr. Mitch Blanding, director of beef technical services with Zoetis, will discuss “Managing Cattle Health in High Markets.” A native of Kansas, Blanding holds a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and a Master of Science in ruminant nutrition/physiology.
Before joining Zoetis in 2003, he spent 10 years as a beef and equine practi -
tioner in central Missouri and eastern Kansas.
The Beef Summer Field Day is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association with support from the PA Beef Producers Working Group and NCBA.

Enthusiasm for fossils, minerals to be displayed at extravaganza
BY JEFF FALK
Chris Haefner understands Mother Earth. He appreciates the precious gems hidden just beneath her surface. And he wants to pass on his acquired expertise to others.
It’s that spirit that led Chris and his wife, Catherine, to found the Lancaster County Fossil and Mineral Club (LCFMC) and in turn LCFMC’s annual Christmas in July Fossil and Mineral Extravaganza.
“(Fossils and minerals) represent our world and life on Earth from when it began to now,” said Chris. “People are fascinated with precious gems because they’re beautiful and valuable. Generally, people know about (fossils and minerals); our culture is everywhere. Some people like it because it’s grassroots. I think it’s more relevant now than it ever was.”
This year’s Christmas in July Fossil and Mineral Extravaganza will be conducted in three rooms at Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 28. Attendees will be afforded an opportunity to peruse and purchase
up to 10,000 unique fossils, minerals, crystals and jewelry from 40 licensed dealers.
An admission fee will be charged, and the Paradise Lions Club will make refreshments available.
“It’s families with kids who are interested in paleontology and geology,” said Chris of the expected visitors that day. “It’s an enthusiastic crowd of people who come, and then you have the camaraderie. It’s a very lively atmosphere. People anticipate it every year. This is our forte; this is what we do. There’s a whole stream of history people don’t know because it’s not taught in schools.”
The fossil and mineral extravaganza will also feature a mine tour where kids bearing flashlights can find mineral samples. Youngsters may also appreciate interactive adventures in a geology learning center. The activities are designed for fun, but it should be noted that learning could occur.
Also on display at the show will be a rare fossil specimen of Hylonomus Iyelli, believed to be the world’s first reptile. In addition, the show will include a light-refracturing demonstration by a scientist and a presentation by a tinsmith.
Nearly 1,000 visitors are expected to attend the extravaganza over its two days. Proceeds from the event will go toward LCFMC’s operating expenses and activities.
After first being introduced at the Solanco Fairgrounds in Quarryville, LCFMC’s Christmas in July Fossil and Mineral Extravaganza moved to Farm and Home Center four years ago.
“(LCFMC is) a very noble thing to be involved in,” said Chris. “When you’re part of a club, new ideas will spring from it. We get to meet other clubs and other club’s people. If you like minerals and fossils, there’s nothing like it. It’s not like going to a museum and looking at what someone else found. You found it.”
Textbook translated into Chinese has local connections
A 654-page medical textbook used in China, “A Comprehensive Guide to Geriatric Rehabilitation, 3rd Edition,” has significant roots in Lancaster County. More than a dozen medical providers connected to the county wrote 25% of the book’s chapters. Combined, these practitioners have provided care to hundreds of thousands of southcentral Pennsylvania residents.
Dr. Tim Kauffman, a native of Lancaster County, was the lead editor of this internationally acclaimed book. After graduating from McCaskey High School, Gettysburg College, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Medical College of Virginia and serving in the Army, he started his physical therapy office in Lancaster in 1981.
Dr. Michael Moran, pro-
fessor emeritus from Misericordia University, Dallas, Pa., was a co-editor of the text. He lives in Lancaster.
Dr. Ron Scott, another co-editor, was the director of the physical therapy program at Lebanon Valley College.
Dr. John Barr, the fourth co-editor, is a professor emeritus from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. Both he and Scott sent students to Lancaster to train at Kauffman Physical Therapy.
Contributors from Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health include Dr. Christine Stabler, medical director of women’s health for Lancaster General Hospital, as well as Dr. M. Clive Perry, who works in radiology.
Dr. Beth Kauffman, who now treats patients
at HARTZ Physical Therapy, and Ben Kauffman, physical therapy assistant, wrote about aquatic (water) therapy. They studied in China years ago. Beth is a board-certified geriatric clinical specialist, and she and Tim teach a “Better Bones,
Chris and Catherine Haefner founded LCFMC in 2013, and the club initially involved 12 members. Today, LCFMC’s membership numbers 130 fossil and mineral aficionados.
LCFMC meets on the last Thursday of every month at Trinity Reformed United Church of Christ, 450 W. Main St., Mountville.
For additional information on LCFMC, search for “Lancaster County Fossil and Mineral Club” on Facebook.

Check-in will begin at 11:30 a.m., during which time players will receive hole and cart assignments, as well as tickets for prize drawings. The tournament will kick off with a shotgun start at 1 p.m., and the event will wrap up after dinner and an awards ceremony at 5:30 p.m. During the ceremony, cash prizes will be given to players in first, second and third places. Contest winners will receive additional prizes for putting, closest to the pin, the longest drive and the straightest drive.
The funds raised by the golf tournament will support the booster clubs for Hempfield’s boys’ and girls’ basketball teams, which team up every year to coordinate the event. The proceeds from the tournament help both organizations cover the cost of league participation fees and travel expenses when competing outside the school district. The booster clubs also use the

funds to purchase equipment for student-athletes and to offer team-building activities such as guest speaker events and team meals.
“It’s our largest fundraiser of the year, and the community has been very supportive,” said Danny Walck, head coach of the boys’ basketball team. “I think it goes across the board in our school district; our community as a whole is very giving, and it stands behind our student-athletes in every sport.” Walck added that in addition to individuals who participate in the tournament and purchase sponsorships, the booster clubs have enjoyed the consistent support of local businesses such as Caruso’s and Silver Spring Restaurant, which donate gift cards and other items for prize drawings.

“A Comprehensive Guide to Geriatric Rehabilitation, 3rd Edition” represents the combined wisdom of 95 contributors from 12 countries. Dr. Hao Liu chose this book to be translated to
Chinese because he thought it is the best text about geriatric rehabilitation. Liu is the director of the physical therapy program at Louisiana State University in New Orleans. The release of the book was delayed because of the pandemic. The Chinese version was copyrighted in 2023, with copies released in America this year. The second edition was translated into Portuguese and is used around the world.

due to the coronavirus pandemic. “We evacuated from Chile and I was back in Lancaster, but one thing I did was try to keep taking photos,” Orgass said. “It’s a good way to make the world seem a little less scary and to feel closer to the people around you.”
Orgass’ photography gradually evolved beyond pictures of his friends to collaborative projects with musicians, and the camera lens eventually became a vehicle he uses to explore the world around him.
Shortly after moving to Seattle, Orgass frequented local concert venues and dive bars where bands were playing, and he recalled being distracted by the lighting, movement and
