Lampeter-Strasburg
A lifetime on the tracks
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
In 1973, Jim Rice was looking for a part-time job. Many other young residents of Strasburg made some extra cash when they weren’t in school by bagging groceries or staffing Dutch Wonderland. Rice, who was 15 years old at the time, decided he would rather work for the Strasburg Rail Road, and he took a parttime position as a member of the grounds maintenance crew. What Rice didn’t know at the time was that he had found more than an after-school gig - it was the start of an adventure that would last 51 years.
“Most of my friends were mowing grass. I applied to work
at the railroad since I had some mechanical aptitude for a young kid,” said Rice. “I was always interested in machines growing up, but the train part came later.”
“I feel grateful. It’s turned out to be a great place to work.”
On Dec. 31, 2024, Rice took his last ride as a full-time employee of the Strasburg Rail Road. Since joining the grounds maintenance crew as a young man, Rice has worn many hats and held many titles, including that of an engineer, road foreman of engines,
track supervisor and vice president of operations and roadway.
When Rice turned 18 years old, he asked for a full-time position as a general laborer on locomotives and the track. Although he was always interested in machinery, Rice said he never had an interest in trains until he started working for the railroad. Once he was a full-time employee, Rice learned trades such as welding and machining to become more involved with railroad operations. “That’s when I got more interested,” said Rice. “I thought that being able to operate something of historical significance and learning the process would be cool.”
In addition to getting hands-on

Lancaster County has a longstanding and deep connection to visual art and creatives in the community. Lancaster city’s historic downtown area is rife with art galleries and painters’ exhibitions, the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design and distinguished
museums such as Lancaster Museum of Art and the Demuth Museum. Lancaster-born artists such as Charles Demuth, whose life and work are immortalized in the Demuth Museum, have become nationally renowned for their artistic careers. In modern times, new generations of budding artists such as JJ Roach continue Lancaster’s artistic

If you walk into the headquarters of United Disabilities Services (UDS), located at 2270 Erin Court, Lancaster, you’ll find more than a few reasons that dogs are commonly referred to as man’s best friend. The nonprofit organization provides highly trained service dogs for clients throughout Lancaster County and its surrounding areas, and each UDS dog is equipped with a special skillset to meet its owner’s needs.
In early January, an office on the second floor of UDS’ main building was temporarily converted into a kennel for a litter of young golden Labs. The six puppies were less than 3 months old and, like all new arrivals at UDS, adorable but unruly. After a 22-month training program, each dog will be obedient enough to accomplish tasks such as opening a door and picking up a TV remote from the floor. Outside the room of puppies, UDS volunteer Linda Rineer worked with CJ, a black Lab
On Dec. 31, 2024, Jim Rice took his last trip as a Strasburg Rail Road employee before retirement.

Oasis Women’s Ministry of Pennsylvania will offer a winter session of Bible studies beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 29. The group invites all women in the community to gather on Wednesdays from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at Providence Church, 269 Cinder Road, New Providence.
Three choices of study are available. “Revelation: Eternal King, Everlasting Kingdom” by Jen Wilkin includes a workbook and weekly videos that explore the culmination of God’s story in the last book of the Bible. This study will meet for 12 weeks and conclude on April 16.
In addition, there are two six-week studies, which will conclude on March 5. “Forgiving What You Can’t Forget” by Lysa TerKeurst is a book study that addresses the process of forgiveness from a biblical perspective.
first meeting.
The intention of Oasis is to provide a restful place for women to pause in the midst of life’s journey and connect with God and with one another. Each meeting begins with coffee and breakfast refreshments followed by worship in music and then the Bible studies. All of the studies prioritize small group discussion for learning together and growing friendships. A prayer group is also available.
Oasis includes a children’s ministry, which provides supervision, snacks, crafts, and Bible stories for nursery, preschool, and homeschooled students. A freewill offering will be received each week.

The Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA), a nonprofit organization headquartered in Strasburg, is a countywide network of paintbrushes and sketchbooks. LCAA’s members hail from every part of the county, as well as areas as far as Chester County, Philadelphia and Maryland. The nonprofit’s mission is to celebrate and promote visual arts in the local community, a goal that has remained unchanged since LCAA was founded in 1936.
“We’re still committed to our original idea of promoting the arts in the area,” said Patricia Keller of Landisville, who handles LCAA’s publicity and advertising.
“We’re always trying to get everyone involved and to give people opportunities to appreciate, understand and see good artwork. Visual arts are important to everybody.”
LCAA strives to support the art community in various ways. The organization’s main location in Strasburg houses the Steinmetz Gallery and the Kauffman Gallery, which frequently feature the artworks of LCAA members and distinguished guest artists. Membership shows take place every winter, fall and spring, in addition to themed exhibits such as “Cool Colors” in February, which will exclusively feature artworks of green, blue and violet hues. Until Thursday, Feb. 13, the 2025 Winter Membership Show may be viewed in the Kauffman Gallery, and a showcase of Dan Graziano’s work titled “Observations” will remain in the
Although LCAA’s galleries steadily host new exhibitions, the nonprofit also offers a variety of workshops, classes and programs to teach specific techniques and explore different mediums. LCAA organizes fundraisers such as plant sales and art supply sales throughout the year to help cover its expenses, compensate professional jurors for exhibits and lower class enrollment fees. As an active member of LCAA for more than 35 years, Keller said that one of her favorite aspects of the organization is its comradery. “Whether you’re down there working or part of a critique group, you’re around people who have a common interest,” added Keller. “You meet artists who work with different mediums than you do. It’s interesting to see how things work.”
Despite including many expert artists, LCAA accepts members of any artistic ability. “It’s nonthreatening. That’s what I love about it,” Keller said. It’s an opportunity for anyone to have a creative outlet and a place to show your work.”
LCAA is seeking volunteers to fill various roles within the organization, including leadership positions on the board of directors and gallery sitters to oversee exhibits when staff members are unavailable. To learn more, interested parties may attend a board meeting on the third Friday of every month at 10 a.m. LCAA asks that anyone planning to attend a meeting confirm by calling the office at 717-687-7061.

that is almost ready to be paired with a client. While a chorus of yelping and whining echoed from the temporary kennel, Rineer praised and encouraged CJ as he pulled a walker and opened doors on command.
“The key to successfully training a dog is food, food and more food,” said Rineer, a resident of the Buck who frequently travels to UDS’ facility to assist with training. “A lot of people think (service dogs) are working, but for them, it’s like playing ball all day.”
UDS service dogs specialize in different areas, and each canine is matched with a job that comple -
ments its personality traits and strengths. Some dogs may have a calming presence that can help anxious children feel more comfortable in school, and others are perceptive enough to recognize the early signs of a traumatic flashback and rush to their owners’ side. Rineer said the fourth UDS dog she helped train was able to fetch bottles of water from the refrigerator for a client with mobility restrictions. The dog was even able to take the empty bottles to the recycling bin after the owner was finished.
In recent years, UDS has broadened its service area
to include clients within five hours of Lancaster County. The number of local school districts requesting a service dog has steadily increased as well, and UDS dogs currently serve nearly every school district in the county. Jennifer King, a member of the UDS service dog ambassador team, said many teachers testify that service dogs have reached students in ways no school staff member was able. “It’s the power of a wagging tail and a wet nose,” King said. UDS relies on sponsorships and donations from the community to sustain its service dog programs. Each dog requires an invest-
ment upward of $25,000 to cover the cost of coaching and food during the 22-month training period, and financial support from individuals and businesses allows UDS to lessen the cost of acquiring a dog for clients.
UDS will hold its annual bingo fundraiser on Sunday, March 9, at Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. The organization is always accepting volunteers who wish to help with events and training sessions.

Production to present immigrants’ stories
Grand Pistachio will present “Layer the Walls: Midcentury” on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 1 p.m. at the Winter Visual and Performing Arts Center, 60 W. Cottage Ave., Millersville.
“Layer the Walls” is a live theater piece for young audiences focusing on immigration and universal struggles surrounding discrimination. While visiting the Tenement Museum in New York City, the play’s creators learned that 40 layers of wallpaper were found on the walls of an old apartment. Each piece had been applied by a new immigrant family attempting to make the space its own, with every layer filled with hopes, dreams, and stories of survival. As layers of the set are peeled away, the characters’ stories of immigration are revealed.
“Layer the Walls: Mid-Century” spans 1930 to 1970, including sto -
ries of a Chinese father who enters the U.S. and endures 30 years of separation from his family, a young Holocaust survivor who has to adapt to life in New York City, and Puerto Rican sisters who join the Young Lords’ fight for health care equity. These stories are brought to life with rod puppetry, ribbon dancing, masks, Bunraku-style puppetry, shadow puppetry, and original music.
Grand Pistachio creates original theater for young people utilizing puppetry, masks, and music. Its mission is to engage audience empathy and open new ways for young people to view each other, the world, and their role in it.
The organization seeks to achieve these aims by highlighting the stories of people who might not be in the history books or cultural records.
The event will include free preshow children’s
activities as part of the season’s Family Fun Fest series. Community organizations and Millersville University student groups will host tables offering children’s crafts and activities that are inspired by the performance. Children will leave with goodie bags filled with their creations. This performance will
feature ASL interpretation, audio description, and sensory-friendly accommodations.
To purchase tickets, visit www.artsmu.com, call 717871-7600, or stop by the Ware Center, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster, or the Student Memorial Center box office on the Millersville University campus.
Future UDS service dogs await the start of their training at the organization’s office building.
Volunteer Linda Rineer teaches service dog CJ how to pull out a chair.

The story of Stan
BY ANN MEAD ASH
The influence that the late Stan Deen had on New Holland - as a teacher, a director, and a member of the community - is well known. Stan, who passed away in July of 2016, founded Garden Spot Performing Arts (GSPA), the Garden Spot High School (GSHS) auditorium is named for him, and, according to Mike Ressler, chair of the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) board of trustees, “Everybody (who knew him) has a Stan Deen story.”
However, it was a chance meeting between NHAHS founder Steve Loewen and Nate Deen, who was taken in by Stan as a GSHS student and on whose life with Stan the soon-to-be-released film “Brave the Dark” is based, that has resulted in an exhibit called “The Remarkable Mr. Deen.” The display will take up the main room of the NHAHS Museum, 207 E. Main St., New Holland. No end date has been set for the exhibit. Nate and Loewen were both at a movie at Penn Cinema in early 2024. Their short conversation in the lobby led to lunch and to Nate visiting a car show Loewen organized in mid-Julybringing along the 1973 Camaro Z28 that was used in “Brave the Dark.” More meetings and a tour of the NHAHS museum followed.
“I said (the museum has) got to do something in conjunction with the movie,” said Loewen.
Nate agreed, noting that Stan had done much for New Holland, but that others deserved credit as well. “To honor Stan is awesome,” he said. “But there are many in this community (who get involved). That’s what I love about this community.”
Stan was born in Lancaster, and he graduated from Penn Manor High School and later Millersville State College. Stan had developed a love for theater at an early age, and he moved to California, where he was an actor with the Pasadena Playhouse. Eventually, Stan returned to Lancaster, and he taught at Solanco High School for a few years before moving to GSHS. “When Stan arrived at GSHS in 1967,
immediately, he organized a play,” recalled Ressler. Working together with teacher Frank Palumbo, Stan founded GSPA. In pulling together artifacts for the exhibit, Nate found multiple comments from ELANCO School District superintendents calling GSPA’s most recent production “the best one yet.” “Stan wanted everyone to be involved,” recalled Nate, who is now a director as well as a producer but admitted he had no interest in theater prior to meeting Stan. “If (Stan) heard (an athlete) was hurt and couldn’t play, he would invite him to be in the show.”
Ressler played in the orchestra for GSPA shows both as a student and as a professional musician following graduation. “(Stan) would get some professionals into the mix and the kids would learn from them,” recalled Nate.
Loewen was involved in GSPA both before and after the 1976 car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Loewen recalled working with the stage crew when Stan asked him to take over a part for a student who had dropped out. When Loewen said he preferred to stay backstage, Stan visited Loewen’s parents to enlist them in persuading him to take the part. Later, during a production of “Winnie the Pooh,” a wooden and paper tree was crafted around Loewen’s wheelchair so that he could greet children and others in the lobby prior to the play.
NHAHS vice chair Wilbur Horning remembered Stan’s legacy of pairing students in romantic roles who then went on to marry. “Many marriages were created by Stan,” said Horning, who noted a former New Holland pastor and his wife were cast as the leads in “Brigadoon” and that siblings Hillary and Josh Martin, who took over GSPA several years ago, are the children of a couple that was brought together by Stan.
“The Remarkable Mr. Deen” will include items pertinent to Stan’s life with special attention to his influence in New Holland. The camera used by Stan’s father in his work

LancasterHistory posts programs
LancasterHistory, 230 N. President Ave., Lancaster, has posted two upcoming events.
The first Friends of the Tanger Arboretum Nature Series program of 2025 will be held on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 10 a.m. Aaron Haines will speak about remote acoustic survey efforts for bats, a cost-effective way to survey rare bats in Pennsylvania, and how to use recording devices to record bat vocalizations.
The devices are an integral tool in evaluating bat species under conservation with minimal human interference.
Bats are key indicators of the health of ecosystems, and they provide pest control over problematic insect species. However, in Pennsylvania, seven species of bats are of conservation concern, with three species listed as endangered and two
species actively protected by the Endangered Species Act.
Haines is a certified wildlife biologist and a professor of conservation biology at Millersville University. He is also the director of the applied conservation lab at Millersville University. Haines has a Bachelor of Science in forestry and wildlife management from Virginia Tech, along with a Master of Science in wildlife and range management and a Ph.D. in wildlife science, both from Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
A Nature Series presentation on maple sugaring will be offered on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 10 a.m. Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation senior naturalist Lisa Sanchez will share information about the production of maple syrup, its importance to indigenous peoples and European

colonists, its role in food rationing during World War II, and its influence on people’s taste buds today. Attendees will explore the history of the tools and techniques used to produce maple syrup and learn all of the steps required to make maple syrup, from identifying trees to collecting and boiling the sap. They will also have the opportunity to sample maple sugar candy.
Sanchez has been a naturalist at the parks department’s Environmental Center for 30 years.
To purchase tickets for either program, visit https://lancasterhistory .org/events/ or call 717392-4633. Advance tickets recommended, as walk-in tickets are not guaranteed. There is a discount for children age 17 and under. Friends of the Tanger Arboretum members will

Volunteering offers opportunities to network and connect with the local community, as well as hands-on experience contributing to a cause.
To learn more, contact Linda at lconyers @visioncorps.net or call 717-205-4116.
The Annual Instrument Grant Program focuses on supporting school-based and community music programs in Lancaster County. Eligible organizations, including public or private schools and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, can request funding to help expand access to musical instruments for their programs.
The Music For Everyone’s Well-Being Grant and the Steven Killough Memorial Grant are designed to fund programs that use music as a tool for healing and promoting well-being in various capacities. Similar eligibility requirements apply, focusing on schools and nonprofit organizations based in Lancaster County.
Through last year’s grant program, MFE gave away more than $70,000 worth of instruments and classroom supplies. The organizations applying for the grants had requested a total of more than $230,000.
Since 2006, MFE has invested more than $6 million in grants, scholarships, and direct program support in school and community music programs.

experience working on the locomotives, Rice had access to a wealth of information and archived materials about every part of a steam engine and how it functions. Rice was still working as a general laborer when he had his first opportunity to drive a train, after an engineer offered to let him take the reins. “I was pretty taken aback. Here I was, a 20-year-old kid operating this big broiler locomotive,” Rice said.
At the same time that Rice was becoming a locomotive expert, the Strasburg Rail Road was growing into more than just a tourist attraction. The historic rail line was restored by a group of train enthusiasts in the late ‘50s, and ridership during its first year of tourist passenger operations was nearly 9,000. By 1991, annual ridership peaked at 475,000 passengers, and the Strasburg Rail Road had evolved into a nationally known enterprise capable of restoring steam loco -
motives and contracting specialized equipment to local manufacturers.
Rice said some of his fondest memories at the railroad were times that he rode a steam engine to other parts of Pennsylvania and nearby states, after the National Railway Historical Society began to sponsor the trips in 1985. “We were going 50mph when we were used to going 15mph in Strasburg,” Rice added. “It was sort of a ‘pinch me’ moment.”
Although Rice is no longer a full-time employee, he said that he’ll be around to offer his insight to help with training new employees and track operations. Now that Rice is retired, he said that he is looking forward to spending more time with his family, hunting and riding his motorcycle.
“The people I’ve worked with and worked for at the railroad got me this far without any incidents,” said Rice. “I feel grateful. It’s turned out to be a great place to work.”
Tenor to present concert
Tenor soloist Brenten Megee will perform at First Reformed Church United Church of Christ (UCC), 40 E. Orange St., Lancaster, during the worship service on Sunday, Jan. 26, at 10:30 a.m. in the historic 1854 church’s sanctuary.
Megee is a singer, conductor, pianist, choral artist, music director, and actor. Born with autism, he has overcome obstacles and challenges, and he now seeks to encourage others with his heart and inspire them with his voice.
Megee will present hymns, Southern gospel music, and other songs. The service will also include a
message from pastor Devin B. Jeffers.
The service is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided afterward. For more information, call the church office at 717-397-5149.
for Hamilton Watch will be on display, as will a Christmas tree signifying Stan’s mother’s love of the holiday. An area is devoted to Stan’s GSHS desk, and photos of Stan are placed throughout. Pointing out the differences between his and Stan’s backgrounds - Nate has referred to Stan and himself as Barbra Streisand vs. Metallica - Nate noted the large number of photos of Stan as a child. “I have thousands of pictures of Stan,” said Nate. “Stan was born in 1937, and I have pictures from his first birthday in 1938. I didn’t have a first picture until I was 6.”
One area of the exhibit will be devoted to “Brave the Dark” with an actual movie poster and props from the film. “Stan’s jacket will go here,” said Nate, who added that “Brave the Dark,” star
