Lampeter-Strasburg
Ascension Lutheran will celebrate greening project
BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Rhonda Miller noted the land on which Ascension Lutheran Church is located offers all kinds of possibilities. She and her fellow congregants are doing their best to fulfill that potential in a responsible manner.
On Sunday, April 27, the church will celebrate the completion of a project designed to benefit the environment and will host a community event in the afternoon.
A formal Blessing of the Greening Project will take place at 9 a.m. as part of the Sunday worship at the church, which is located at 600 E. Penn Grant Road, Willow Street.
Remittance of mown grass began in March 2024, with planting completed in October of that year. Waxwing EcoWorks served as contractor. Stroud Water Research Center assisted with a Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) grant to place 120 tree seedlings along Ascension Lutheran’s eastern property border as a buffer for P68, a stream that runs through an adjoining field.
“It’s amazing what places of faith have done to help the environment.”
The project included an approximately 700-squarefoot west wall of wet sedge meadow, a 1,500-squarefoot parking lot pollinator garden, a 1,000-square-foot winter interest welcoming garden, and a variety of native trees and shrubs for a parking lot island.
The community and anyone who has been involved with the on-site work is invited to attend. Miller said the ceremony signifies the completion of a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Crescendo Grant Stewardship Greening program to reduce mowing and storm water runoff and provide a pollinator pathway. Seventy-seven native shrubs and trees and approximately 2,000 native plants were placed in newly created beds.
Miller, who spearheaded the project, said the goal was to add beautiful, native, semiformal gardens for community enjoyment, education, and wildlife support; create a naturalistic style planting that doesn’t require continuous wood mulching; and foster congregation engagement and education.
As part of his Eagle Scout project in the spring of 2024, current Lampeter-Strasburg High School senior Riley Kurau placed
birdhouses and a kestrel box in conjunction with the greening efforts. “Our goal is to reduce the green desert we were mowing and be better stewards of the land in our possession,” Miller said. “We worked closely with Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake and Lancaster Clean Water Partners.”
The Community Environmental Event will run from 1 to 3 p.m. and feature three speakers. Mike Hudson, the Lancaster
coordinator for Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake, will talk about “Sacred Waters of the Chesapeake.” Alex Cooper of Lancaster Clean Water Partners will deliver a presentation on “Stream Delisting,” and Matthew Carlson, an associate pastor of Akron Mennonite Church and coordinator for Creation Justice Ministries, will also give an address. Weather permitting, there will be outdoor hands-on activities and

The Southern End Tracksters are in the starting blocks, preparing to start a third season.
The Tracksters are an Amateur Athletic Association (AAU) track and field team operated by Solanco High School head coach Jen McDowell. It is made up of athletes ages 4 through 18 from the Solanco, Penn Manor, and Lampeter-Strasburg school districts.
“We have started this camaraderie in the Southern End,” said McDowell. “That was the whole idea of the Southern End Tracksters. To get other people involved. Track is one of those unique sports. We’ve got rivals, but not like you do in a lot of other sports. We are there to support and guide each other. My kids are learning from some of the Penn Manor coaches. Penn Manor kids are learning from us. We’re seeing it pay off already at the high school level.”
There is no cost to join the Southern End Tracksters program, but participants must pay to join the AAU and pay an entry fee for meets. Athletes can pay for a uniform or borrow one. Anyone interested in joining the Tracksters can

The Tracksters club is a W-9 nonprofit seeking business sponsorships as the team continues to grow. There were 12 members in the first season, most of whom were on Solanco’s high school squad. That number grew to 55 last year. “It was a goal of mine when I took over the (Solanco High School) track program (five years ago),” McDowell said. “My goal was to get some of those younger ones involved in it. Last year, when word started getting around that I was getting all these kids, I was still getting lots of emails. We want the parents to know there is an option to do something over the summer.”
more,” McDowell said. Some practices will be held at Solanco High School, and others will take place at Penn Manor High School. The first meet will be in Coatesville on Saturday, June 14.
“I am hoping they will enjoy track, learn the events, and be part of our team when they hit junior high and high school,” said McDowell. “But most importantly, I hope they learn how to work as a team, set goals individually, and learn lifelong lessons.”

Twice-weekly practices will begin in early May for athletes in sixth grade and younger. When junior high and high school athletes join once school ends, there will be three or four practices a week, most in the evening, but McDowell is considering adding some morning workouts. “None of the practices are mandatory, but obviously if you practice more, you learn
Until McDowell started the Tracksters, there was no club in the area for younger track athletes to practice with experienced coaches. “Track and field doesn’t have a feeder program,” she said. “We’re not like soccer and football, where they start really young, and a lot of them aren’t exposed to it. That’s one thing we noticed last year when some of the younger ones came in and said, ‘Oh, this is fun, and it gives us something to do over the summer.’”
AAU also offers the chance for athletes to learn events such as the javelin or hurdles that
are not held during junior high meets. “Kids will come to me next year with two years of jav experience. Normally, I get a freshman in, and I have to explain to them, ‘OK, this is a jav.’ They can start hurdles at age 11 in AAU. That’s a huge help. There are a lot of opportunities for them.”
After the regular season is completed, athletes can compete in a district-qualifying meet at Millersville and a regional qualifier meet in Coatesville for the opportunity to earn a trip to the national event. The AAU Junior Olympics will
take place Monday, July 28, through Saturday, Aug. 2, in Humble, Texas, a suburb of Houston.
In its first two years, the Tracksters sent several performers to the Junior Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa, and Greensboro, N.C.
“Ultimately, as these kids get more advanced in AAU, there’s an opportunity for them to go to the national level, and scholarships are available,” said Tracksters’ assistant coach Joe Rineer. Mason Shertzer, an eighth-grader from Solanco who throws the shot put, discus, and javelin, competed in North Carolina last season. “It’s cool I get to travel to someplace new,” Mason said.
Solanco fifth-grader Kennedy Burrell and eighthgrader Jose Dominguez have enjoyed their experiences with the Tracksters and plan to compete again this summer.
“I like throwing, and I like my coaches,” said Kennedy, who participates in the discus and shot put. “All the coaches really help, and everyone encourages me. It’s a good environment.” Jose is currently competing in the shot put and discus on Solanco’s junior high team and will be able to throw the javelin with the Tracksters this summer. “Everyone supports each other,” Jose said. “It’s an extra time to practice and compete.”

“(The church) got involved with Interfaith Partners of the Chesapeake almost two years ago,” said Miller, who was introduced to the group through the Lancaster Conservancy. “They are the people who directed the project we did and helped us with the federal grant initially.”
Holding the events at the church is an integral part of Interfaith’s mission. “Interfaith Partners of the Chesapeake encourages you to make the people of the congregation more aware of being good land stewards,” said Miller. “Make the community aware of what is going on and maybe the other churches will get interested. … (Interfaith’s)
outreach is important here because we are at the head of a lot of the watershed for the Chesapeake Bay.
Churches are a big part of helping the watershed for the Chesapeake. It’s amazing what places of faith have done to help the environment.”
New grants will be available, and Miller plans to learn more and possibly apply for them. “There are other things on the property we could definitely do,” said Miller, who would like to add a water garden and build a pathway from the parking lot to the memorial garden.
“We would be happy to do more, but that was a start for the congregation,” she said.
Webinar to focus on new program
Penn State Extension will offer a live webinar about the Pennsylvania Invasive “Replace-ive” Program on Monday, April 21, at noon.
The Pennsylvania Invasive “Replace-ive” Program encourages homeowners to replace non-native trees and shrubs - such as Callery pear, tree of heaven, and burning bush - with native species. Webinar viewers will learn about the ecological and economic harm that invasive plants
cause and how Pennsylvania property owners can receive up to five free native trees through this new initiative. Topics will include eligibility requirements for program participation, program location and dates, and how to participate.
The webinar is free of charge, but registration is required by visiting https://extension.psu.edu and searching for “Community Trees: Pennsylvania Invasive ‘Replace-ive’ Program.”

Spread joy as a Make-A-Wish clown
BY CAT SHANNON
Each year, the Make-AWish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy travels through the county, bringing smiles to the faces of people along the route and raising funds for children facing life-threatening illnesses. You can be part of the fun by joining the event as a Make-A-Wish clown.
Participating as a clown is a fun and easy way to support the effort, said Amy Nolt, whose clown name is hArMonY.
“Pretty much anybody
can be a clown,” she said. “I used to be very introverted, but I love doing this.”
To help people get into clown character, Amy holds classes at her Lititz home.
“We teach people how to put on makeup, how to choose their clown name and outfit,” she said. “We teach them clown etiquette and give pointers on how to interact with people.”
Clown opportunities are available for people of all ages, she said, and no special skills are required.
“Some people do magic tricks as they walk around.
ERIC'S PROPERTY SERVICE
Clowns participate in a previous year’s Make-A-Wish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy.
Some people do balloons. We had an acrobat last year, but you don’t have to be able to do anything other than be available to walk around, talk to the kids, take pictures with the Wish kids,” she said. “Some people like to hand out stickers or little items to give away.”
This year’s Make-A-Wish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy will be held on Saturday, May 10, at the Manheim Pennsylvania Auto Auction, 1190 Lancaster Road, Manheim. A family fest will begin at 9 a.m., and the truck convoy will kick off at 1:30 p.m. Since 1990, almost 12,000 trucks have driven in the convoy, and the event has raised more than $9.2 million, granting wishes to more than 900 children in the Susquehanna Valley.
Amy and her husband, Mark, have been organiz -
ing the clowns for about 10 years. Amy has been involved with Make-AWish for almost 30 years.
“I started in college as part of a clown ministry,” she said, noting that when the previous clown organizer found out Amy had clowned in college, he invited her to help out with the convoy.
For her character, Amy dresses in a rainbow-striped outfit covered in music notes. Her husband, whose clown name is Teed Off, dresses as a golfer.
The clowns entertain the crowd before the truck convoy departs from the Manheim Auto Auction and then walk along the convoy route, spreading joy as they go.
“We try to cover the entire 26-mile route, but we need help to do that,” Amy said. “We had 14 clowns

A supportive environment
BY ANN MEAD ASH
BASIS stands for Brothers And Sisters In Support. The ministry, which serves bereaved parents and grandparents, holds a number of area support groups, but once a year a special breakfast is held to give participants from around Lancaster County and others in the surrounding area who have experienced the loss of a child a chance to meet in a supportive environment.
The 2025 BASIS Breakfast will be held at Yoder’s Restaurant & Buffet, 14 S. Tower Road, New Holland, on Saturday, April 26, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The buffet breakfast is free to attend. A freewill offering will be received near the end of the event. Those wishing to attend the breakfast must register by Monday, April 21, at www.hvmi .org/upcoming-events/ basis-breakfast.
This year’s speaker will be Lynn Eib, whose talk is titled “The Truth About Grief.” Eib’s life as an award-winning reporter was interrupted by a cancer diagnosis in 1990 when she was only 36 years old. Her experience with surgery and chemotherapy inspired her to follow God’s call to begin the Cancer Prayer Support Group in 1991. The purpose of the group, now believed to be the country’s oldest faith-based organization of its kind, was to
help grievers experience the closeness of the Lord to the brokenhearted. In April of 1996, Eib became a patient advocate for her oncologist, ministering to his patients for nearly 10 years. Eib calls herself a “passionate encourager, but always a truth-teller.”
Eib is also the author of several books. Her first book, “When God & Cancer Meet,” has been published in three languages and sold more than 100,000 copies. Eib lives near Philadelphia with her husband, Ralph, who is a pastor.
Eib’s book “When God & Grief Meet: True Stories of Comfort & Courage,” published in 2021, was given to Dan Steinman, BASIS director, by a fellow church member following the 2024 breakfast. Steinman quickly recognized how the content reflected the BASIS support group material. “I prayed about it,” recalled Steinman, who noted that the woman who gave him the book recommended Eib as an “excellent speaker.”
“I trusted her judgment,” shared Steinman, who scheduled Eib for this year’s banquet.
Each year, a Wall of Remembrance, which was originally a portable photo display featuring pictures of the children who have died, is available at the breakfast. Last year, the photos from the wall were shown on a
screen, but this year Steinman hopes the wall will be available to attendees in a digital format.
“We give attendees plenty of time to converse (before and during breakfast),” said Steinman, who noted breakfast is served at 9:30 a.m. and enjoyed until 11 a.m. Eib will speak at 11, and after she speaks, attendees may ask questions.
Steinman noted that BASIS currently holds support groups within Lancaster County in Akron, Mount Joy, Paradise, and Quarryville. The ministry is considering expanding support to include siblings who are grieving, called Kids in Grief. The program may include grief caused by divorce, separation, and illnesses. A survey on the subject is currently available at www.hvmi.org/ sib-support-grief.
BASIS also produces quarterly podcasts on a variety of grief-related topics, which can be

Steinman pointed out that the purpose of the ministry is to be there for those experiencing loss of a loved one and that doing that in a variety of ways helps to spread comfort.
“We just want to come beside people,” he said. “However we do that is good.”

Fifty-three local law enforcement agencies in Lancaster, Adams, Perry, and York counties are joining Pennsylvania State Police and approximately 300 municipal agencies statewide to conduct a targeted aggressive-driving enforcement wave that began March 17 and will run through Sunday, April 27.
The goal of targeted enforcement is to reduce the number of aggressive driving-related crashes, injuries, and deaths on roadways throughout the state. Any aggressive driver stopped by police will receive a ticket.
The enforcement wave will focus on distracted driving, speeding, and work zone awareness. Motorists exhibiting other unsafe behaviors, such as driving too fast for conditions, following too closely, or other aggressive actions, will also be cited.
The enforcement is part of Pennsylvania’s Highway Safety Program and is funded by part of PennDOT’s investment of federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
For more information on aggressive driving, visit www.penndot.pa.gov/ safety.

Just what the Doctor ordered!
One of the best forms of therapy is riding a motorcycle. Do you Ride a Motorcycle? If so, then come join
If you have at least 40 years of wisdom behind you and ride a motorcycle (doesn’t matter what you ride), we would like to invite you to join us. We are the Eastern Pa. Chapter of the Retreads Motorcycle Club. An International Motorcycle Club with Chapters in the U.S., U.K., Canada and New Zealand. Our specific Chapter holds breakfasts monthly in Lancaster at the Golden Corral, in Myerstown, at the Country Fare Restaurant, in Quakertown at Quakertown Family Restaurant and in Kinzers at A&J’s Twisted Kitchen. After breakfast (weather permitting), we hold rides, usually with the destination being somewhere that serves ice cream. Aside from the breakfasts there is always something happening with the Retreads M/C, whether it be Rallies (International or State), weekend rides, weeklong excursions, meet for Dinner events, mini golf…. There is always something happening. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, and you like to ride, check us out on Facebook or our Web Site (www.easternparetreads.com). Or better yet come out and meet us in person at one of the breakfasts. With that said, even if you are not 40 years of age, you are still more than welcome to come out to our breakfasts and ride with us.
Thank you

Garden club sets meeting
The Women’s Garden Club of Lancaster County will present “19th-Century Family Kitchen Garden” on Thursday, April 24, from 1 to 3 p.m. at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 301 St. Thomas Road, Lancaster.
Patrick Clarke, director of President James Buchanan’s Wheatland, will share how American family gardens in the 19th century were influenced by European cultures. Both urban and rural Americans were taught the value of a wellplanned garden to provide a healthy diet and a source of medicinal remedies for their family. Clarke will share aspects of historical gardening and how they
last year, and that was a big number for recent years. In the past, we’ve had as many as 40 clowns. Trying to cover 26 miles with a few people is a little daunting.”
When she says people of all ages can participate as clowns, she means it. “We take any age,” she said. “Our oldest clown last year was 85. Anyone under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult.”
If people are interested in supporting the fundraiser but don’t want to dress up as clowns, there
are opportunities to walk the route as a non-clown as well, she said.
Clown classes are held on an as-needed basis, and Amy said she’s available to teach a class on any Saturday or Sunday in April, except for Easter Sunday, April 20.
“I invite anyone who is interested to come to a clown class and learn more,” she said. “The clowns just add a little more fun to the convoy.”
For more information on volunteering as a clown, call or text Amy at 717-587-9841.

Richardson announces retirement from YMCA
The YMCA of the Roses has announced that after 31 years of service, Larry Richardson, CEO and president, will retire on Thursday, July 31. Richardson first joined the organization in October 1994, when it was still known as the YMCA of York and York County, and he has since played a pivotal role in shaping its growth, impact, and mission.
Throughout his tenure, Richardson worked closely with the board, donors, stakeholders, members, and staff members to expand the organization’s reach and deepen its community impact. His leadership was instrumental in the development and expansion of the W. Dale Brougher Foundation YMCA in Shrewsbury and the opening of the Graham Aquatic Center, an aquatic center and recreation pool. Under his guidance, the York campus, Arthur J. Glatfelter YMCA, grew to
include a community park and a state-of-the-art tech center to help increase access to education and recreation.
Passionate about investing in the next generation, Richardson played a key role in bringing youth programs to the YMCA of the Roses. Programs such as Temple Guard and Young Thinkers of York continue to provide young people with mentorship, leadership development, and the skills to create meaningful change in their communities.
Under Richardson’s leadership, the Y strengthened the relationship between York and Lancaster counties, fostering collaboration and expanding services across the region. Richardson played a key role in guiding the organization through its merger with Lancaster Family YMCA, which led to the formation of the YMCA of the Roses.
Benefit bingo event planned
Kathy’s Circle of Friends’ fourth annual Benefit Bingo will be held from 6 to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 8, at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. Doors will open at 4 p.m.
The event will offer 20 games of regular bingo with the winners’ choice of Primitives By Kathy-themed baskets, along with four special
South County opens in Lancaster
South County Brewing Co. has announced that its newest location in downtown Lancaster is officially open at 26 W. King St. in the iconic Steinman Hardware Building.
Guests will be able to enjoy signature dishes, craft beer and a vibrant atmosphere.
Reservations are suggested, but walk-ins are always welcome. To learn more, visit www .southcountybrewing .com/lancaster. Those with questions may call 717-740-5555.
This merger expanded the Y’s reach, allowing the organization to enhance the programs and resources available to those in need.
Through his leadership, Richardson played a key role in fostering relationships with donors and strengthening the Roses Society. His commitment to stewardship has helped inspire individuals to consider legacy gifts to help ensure the long-term sustainability of the Y’s mission.
Throughout his career, Richardson was committed to addressing housing insecurity and homelessness in the region. He helped implement the Y Community Development Corporation (YCDC) to provide affordable housing in York, expanded the Arthur J. Glatfelter YMCA to include more than 100 rooms for homeless men, and played a key role in advocating for the Y to operate a low-barrier homeless shelter in
Lancaster. His leadership ensured that these initiatives provided support and resources to those in need.
Richardson also championed the construction plan of a new branch in Spring Grove, set to open later this year.
To ensure a smooth transition, the board of directors has established a transition committee to guide the organization through its next chapter.

Scholarship and tuition waiver programs posted
The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) is accepting student applications for the 2025-26 Grow Pennsylvania Scholarship Grant Program, more commonly known as the Grow PA Grant.
The Grow PA Grant Program was authorized under Act 89 of 2024 to help reverse the trend of young Pennsylvanians seeking education and job opportunities in other states. The program offers grants of up to $5,000 per year for in-state students who attend college in Pennsylvania, pursue a degree in an in-demand occupation, and agree to work in that occupation in Pennsylvania after graduation.
Grant recipients will be required to work in Pennsylvania for 12 months for each year they receive the grant; failure to meet this requirement will result in the grant’s being converted to a loan that must be repaid.
PHEAA will administer the program for the Commonwealth of Penn -
sylvania, working with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (L&I), the Independent Fiscal Office, and other stakeholders.
The application and a list of eligible programs of study or majors can be found at www.pheaa.org/ growpa.
In addition, PHEAA joins Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) in administering the Grow PA Tuition Waiver Program, which allows eligible nonresident PASSHE students pursuing in-demand occupations to pay tuition at an in-state rate rather than an out-of-state rate.
Students selected for the Grow PA Tuition Waiver Program are required to work in Pennsylvania for 12 months of each academic year for which they received a tuition waiver; failure to meet this requirement will result in the tuition waiver’s being converted to a loan that must be repaid.
More information on this program is forthcoming.
