Garden Spot FFA students qualify to compete in national convention
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
This past June, members of the Garden Spot FFA chapter at Lampeter-Strasburg High School (LSHS) traveled to State College to compete in the 95th annual PA FFA State Convention. The students spent three days competing in various contests against groups from across the state, displaying their knowledge of specific agricultural and environmental topics.
Garden Spot FFA members Ava Immel, Antonio France, Maddux Harsh and Avery Plank competed on the Environmental and Natural Resources team, which placed third in the competition. The Small Gas Engines team, which placed seventh, comprised Jeff Keller and Trent Thomas. Additional competing students included Landon Slaugh and John Deckman of the Milk
Quality Products team; Brooke Rubincam, Ian Lyons, Alexis Swayne and Audrey Wagner of the Veterinary Sciences team; Leah Altobello and Madelyn Knudsen as individual competitors in the Nursery Landscape category; and Food Science team members Sarah Blount, Brianna Shaffer, Kat Geiter and Jonathon Conrad. Blount and Immel each earned a speaking spot at the convention by winning previous competitions at the county and regional level. During the convention, Garden Spot FFA adviser Holly Oberholtzer received the 2024 Pennsylvania State Gold Owl award.
Garden Spot FFA president Sarah Firestone earned first place in the extemporaneous public speaking competition. The Agricultural Mechanics team, which comprised chapter treasurer Jack Ross, Owen Williams,

North Star Initiative (NSI) is doubling down on its mission. The local nonprofit is adding to its resources and increasing its reach in the fight against human trafficking.
Recently, NSI absorbed Freedom and Restoration for Everyone Enslaved (F.R.E.E.), a Berks County-based nonprofit with similar goals, methods and beliefs, into its operations.
It’s a move that will allow NSI to impact more survivors and achieve an even greater good.
“I’ve had a desire for collaboration,” said Melinda Clark, NSI’s executive director. “There’s too much work that needs to be done, and you can’t do it alone. We want to bring together skilled and passionate people. There’s so much chance of burnout from doing this restoration work. We are stronger together and more effective.”
Garden Spot FFA adviser Holly Oberholtzer (center, holding check) was chosen as the 2024 Pennsylvania State Gold Owl award winner.
The show will feature Midst the Noise, a local outfit that includes members of Lampeter United Methodist Church’s praise and worship band.
Landon Giberson and Rex Giberson, earned first place. Ross earned second place and Williams placed third as individual contestants. In October, Firestone and the Agriculture Mechanics team will travel to Indianapolis to compete in the National FFA Convention.
As a participant in the extemporaneous public speaking competition, Firestone randomly selected three prompts from 18 different topics related to agriculture, the environment, animal science and other areas. Firestone then selected one of the three choices, and she had 30 minutes to prepare a presentation. The first 10 minutes were allotted for research on a computer, which contestants were able to use to find articles and data to inform their presentations. Firestone discussed the topic of food scarcity at the county level and methods to control invasive species at the regional competition. Firestone’s presentation at the state convention explored the impact of artificial intelligence on the agriculture industry.
“I’ve had a lot of experience and background in the agriculture industry,” Firestone said. “I grew up riding horses, started showing livestock when I got to high school and I’ve worked on dairy and tobacco farms.” Firestone added that during each competition, she focused on finding an aspect of her topic she could relate to personal experience.
Firestone credited Immel, the chapter’s vice president, with improving Firestone’s speaking skills as the two students advanced through the competition as opponents. “(Immel) is my best friend, and she’s amazing at public speaking,” Firestone added. “The people around me have allowed me to better myself, and they’ve continued to build me up to be a better presenter and public speaker.”

The evening will begin with a short prayer, after which Midst the Noise will perform an arrangement of rock songs and popular hits. The band has performed at several previous Second Friday events at the church, including LUMC’s trivia night and themed bingo activities.
Midst the Noise also shares members with LUMC’s praise and worship band, which plays for Sunday services, and the outfit has grown popular among community members after playing at local fundraisers and First Friday events in downtown Lancaster. “They were such a big hit during
trivia, but they didn’t have time to play full sets between rounds,” said Zachary Frantz of LUMC. “We wanted to bring them back, and it’s a great band we knew our community would enjoy.”
LUMC held its first event in the Second Friday Series in January 2024. The goal of creating the series was to offer a free, family event to residents of communities in the Southern End once a month. Since January, the series has included a board game night, movie screenings and games such as trivia and bingo. In July, Second Friday attendees painted ornaments for residents of local retirement homes as part of LUMC’s Christmas in July activities.
“(The Second Friday Series) is something we had been thinking about doing for a while,” Frantz said. “It’s about creating interactions between our church family and people in the community. There’s always devotionals and things for people to take home, and members of the congregation are always present to answer questions, but we give space for people to just come do something different.” Frantz added that the series is loosely based on the First Friday series downtown, but it offers an alternative for local residents who may not have access to transportation into the city.
In addition to the free community events, LUMC offers various programs and activities through its ministries. The church hosts a free community meal on the first Wednesday of every month, and its members participate in the Soup Angels program to combat food insecurity in Lancaster city.

North Star Initiative
“This shows that it’s possible for organizations to collaborate to make a difference in the movement,” added Clark. “This is not necessarily common in the nonprofit world. The movement is changing, and it’s a privilege to be on the front lines.”
After about a year of negotiations and red tape, NSI officially absorbed F.R.E.E. on July 1. In the summer of 2023, officials of F.R.E.E. approached NSI about a possible merger, and around the beginning of this year a formal agreement was reached.
“In terms of operations, it’s a merger. The legal term is acquisition,” said Clark. “I’m excited because this means we’re going to be serving more survivors more quickly. It makes the whole organization stronger. This work is complex and complicated. Any resources we have at our disposal are meant for the good of the movement. We want to make the entire
movement more effective.”
NSI retained all 11 of F.R.E.E.’s former employees, a move that increased NSI’s staff to 30 members. In addition to its continuation of F.R.E.E.’s services in Berks County, NSI has now established a physical presence in Reading, partly through the continued operation of F.R.E.E.’s Refuge Home, a residential facility for human trafficking survivors focused on trauma healing, similar to NSI’s The Harbor in Lititz.
NSI now has the capability to house and care for a total of 14 human trafficking survivors at any one time, up to eight at The Harbor in Lititz and up to six at the Refuge Home in Reading.
“This is the next step for F.R.E.E.,” said Andrea McHenry, F.R.E.E.’s former executive director and NSI’s new director of outreach and advocacy. “North Star has experience that will allow the Refuge Home to be the best it can be from the beginning, and I could
not be more excited.”
“Over the next 90 days we will be very focused on training staff and analyzing policies so both teams can be effective,” said Clark. “We’re not going to rush things, and if we need to take our time, we will. One of the next key pieces will be to invite the community to see what we’ve accomplished so far. We want better outcomes for survivors. It’s what everyone wants. That’s the whole point.”
NSI is one of at least four Lancaster County organizations currently battling human trafficking. Last year, NSI conducted more than 75 presentations to raise awareness about human trafficking in the community, and since its founding in 2010, the Lititz nonprofit has provided care for more than 80 survivors.

“I’d say this is unexpected, but desirable and not unimaginable,” said Clark of the F.R.E.E. merger. “The areas that nonprofits struggle in are executive leadership, devel-
oping boards and securing volunteers. We have so many resources and such a competent staff that organizations are trying to replicate it.”

Scout leaders win awards
Refrigerated
The Susquehanna District of Scouts BSA’s Pennsylvania Dutch Council held its annual awards dinner on June 12 at Ascension Lutheran Church in Willow Street. The event recognizes leaders who have exemplified the Scouting ideals and program in their Scout units or leadership within the district. The Susquehanna District covers Columbia, Conestoga Valley, Eastern Lancaster County, Hempfield, Lampeter-Strasburg, Manheim Township, Penn Manor, Pequea Valley, and Solanco school districts and School District of Lancaster.
During the dinner event, Duane Gregg received the District Award of Merit, the top volunteer award the district can present. He has been the Scoutmaster of Troop 28 since 2003 and Cubmaster of Pack 28 since 1994, and he has earned the Cubmaster Award. As a youth, he was a staff member at J. Edward Mack Scout Reservation from 1984 to 1988. He received the Eagle Scout Award in 1985.
Outside of Scouting, Gregg is a life member of the Paradise Fire Company, having served for 37 years; a member of the Paradise Sportsman’s Association; a certified Pennsylvania Game Commission hunter/ trapper instructor; a member of the Paradise Parks and Recreation Board; and a confirmed member of St. John’s United Methodist Church.
Other volunteer leaders received awards, as well. These were the Spark Plug Awards, presented to Justin Bond from Pack 82, Chad Cauler from Troop 56, Bob Martin from Troop 146, Amanda Rippley with Pack 37, and Chris Specht with Troop 83, as well as Lauren Bowen, Christine Ginnett, Joelene Martin, and Dawn Williams with the Susquehanna District.
Leader of the Year awards were presented. The recipients in Scouts BSA, the youth program for boys and girls ages 11 to 17, were Dave Martin of Troop 84 and Drian Shimp of Troop 56. The recipients in Cub Scouts, the program for those in kindergarten through fifth grade, were Matt Vazquez, Pack 37; Edward R. Carvell Jr., receiving the Commissioner of the Year award; Troop 84’s Chet Bowen, who was named Committee Member of the Year; and Troop 48’s Greg Martin, recognized as the Scouter of the Year.
The Susquehanna District also presented the Commissioner Key to Greg Martin and the Commissioner Arrowhead Award to Martin, Mike Williams, and Chris Yost. Veteran Awards were presented to Williams and Yost in recognition of their 30 years.
The Boy Scouts of Amer-
ica (BSA) provides a youth program of character development and values-based leadership training designed to help young people be “Prepared. For Life.” The Pennsylvania Dutch Council provides support and Scouting opportunities for more than 2,600 youths in Lancaster and Lebanon counties. The council partners with 130 community organizations and has more than 2,800 active adult volunteers.
BSA programs are divided by age and activity. In addition to Cub Scouting and Scouts BSA, the programs are coed Venturing and Sea Scouting for young men and young women ages 14 to 20 as well as career-oriented, coed Exploring programs for youths ages 10 to 20.

Donations to support youth mentoring programs
The Touchstone Foundation recently awarded Youth Mentorship Partnership funds. This new program supports training to allow staff members and volunteers to become mentors for youth mental wellness in Lancaster County. The Touchstone Foundation has awarded a total of $47,000 to Bench Mark Program, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region, and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lancaster County.
Bench Mark Program is a strength-based family of mentors supporting highly at-risk youths through community-based intervention and diversion initiatives. Using the funds from the Touchstone Foundation, the program will seek to enhance the effectiveness of mentoring services available to at-risk youths within Bench Mark Program’s open gym, where both individual and group services are available. An estimated 47 youths will receive mentoring.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region’s
evidence-based program creates and supports oneto-one mentoring relationships. The new funds will support the organization’s High School Bigs Program for elementary and middle school students in need of a special mentoring friendship; the students have demonstrated the need for enhanced social skills or feel isolated from their peers. An estimated 100 youths will receive mentoring.
CASA provides a court-appointed volunteer advocate to every child who is abused and neglected to ensure children have a safe, nurturing, and permanent home. The organization’s Older Youth Mentorship Project will provide advocates with mentorship training so they can assist older youths in becoming self-sufficient, independent adults. The program will seek to bridge the barriers to success and connectivity to the community. An estimated 275 youths will receive mentorship support. In total, the three orga -
nizations estimate they will serve 422 Lancaster County youths with mentoring in the coming year. Last year, the Touchstone Foundation completed a youth listening tour and parent feedback survey, which revealed that many youths welcome the opportunity to connect with a trained, safe, supportive adult mentor. The three partner organizations will seek to ensure youth safety through mandated reporter training to prevent child abuse, complete Youth Mental Health First Aid training for adults working with youths, and ensure that mentors understand trauma-informed care to support youth growth and development through adversity.
The Touchstone Foundation’s mission is to elevate youth mental wellness in Lancaster County. The foundation seeks to build the talent pipeline in mental health care, increase access to youth mental health services, and create awareness and education about youth mental wellness.

The Junior League of Lancaster is an organization of women whose mission is to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.
The church offers a community meal on Fridays at 6 p.m. in the fellowship hall. The event is open to the public.
Additionally, since 2012, the church has operated a food pantry to help people in need in its community and surrounding areas. Over the years, the pantry has grown, last year distributing more than 1,000 bags of groceries and serving more than 100 families.
When an individual first visits the pantry, a short intake form is completed to determine the amount of food they can obtain based on household size. People may receive resources every other week from 2 to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The pantry offers a variety of shelf-stable pro-
visions. Milk, eggs, bread, butter, and fresh meat are offered when the budget allows. The pantry operates on the client choice model wherein clients may choose the items that best meet their family’s dietary needs. Some of the most requested items are canned pasta, such as ravioli and SpaghettiOs; canned meats like tuna, chicken, and Spam; and meal helpers such as beef and tuna.
In addition, the pantry provides information on other resources in the county, as well as Bibles and devotionals.
The ministry is run by 10 committee members and 12 volunteers. Wesley United Methodist Church (UMC) has also provided support for the ministry.
For more information on the food pantry, call the church office at 717687-6030 or visit www .straspres.org.

The Giant Company’s team of dietitians shared five solutions to help families simplify food preparation for back-to-school lunches.
First, parents should get their children involved. Have children make a list of their favorite foods from each food group - starch, protein, vegetable, fruit, and dairy - and get them excited by bringing them to the store to shop for their favorites. Together, parents and children can build a balanced lunch, making sure children have one item from each of the five food groups. Ideas for a balanced lunchbox include English muffins, sliced ham, carrots, strawberries, a cheese stick, wheat crackers, hummus, sugar snap peas, clementines and nonfat Greek yogurt.
Second, lunches should contain protein. Protein helps keep stomachs full and minds focused. When thinking about breakfast, lunch and snacks, include quick and easy foods like lunch meat, cheese, nut butters, Greek yogurt or hard-boiled eggs.
The third tip is to get colorful. Colorful fruits and vegetables provide a variety of nutrients. Entice kids with daily color challenges to encourage pro -
duce variety. For example, Monday’s lunch can focus on red foods, Tuesday’s meal can feature orange foods, and so on.
Fourth, parents should stock convenience items. Be prepared with pre-sliced apple packs, granola bars, applesauce pouches and trail mixes available for grab-and-go after-school snacks, and load up on frozen waffles and pancakes, fruit cups, oatmeal pouches and drinkable yogurts for easy breakfasts.
The fifth tip is to make dinner easy. Balanced dinners do not have to be elaborate. Keep it simple on busy weeknights with tried-and-true winners like breakfast for dinner or sandwiches with no-cook sides.
Giant’s dietitians also offer easy meal and snack ideas and recipes, simplified with five or fewer ingredients, at www.giant foodstores.com/pages/ back-to-school-dietitian -picks.
To check out the latest schedule of Giant’s free, virtual dietitian classes, which include making dinner in under 30 minutes, creating produce-packed snacks and learning about simple lunchbox ideas, visit www .giantfoodstores.com/ wellness.
The Saddlebag Riders Chapter of the Motorcyclists for Jesus Ministries will hold its annual Wounded Warrior Ride on Saturday, Aug. 10. The ride will start and end at Bethany Evangelical Congregational (EC) Church of Creswell, 1165 Letort Road, Conestoga.
Participants are encouraged to arrive early for fellowship, and the ride will begin promptly at 10
a.m. The 89-mile route will take participants through the countryside and past several churches. Attendees may stop to tour the Bangor Episcopal Church, one of the oldest churches in the area. Lunch will be provided at Bethany EC Church following the ride. All funds donated will go directly to wounded veterans. For more information, call Chuck Moore at 717-224-8790.
Promise Players announce auditions
The Promise Players will hold auditions for the group’s fall performance, “Baggage Claim,” at Lampeter Church of the Brethren, 1900 Lampeter Road, Lancaster, on Sunday, Aug. 25, from 1 to 6 p.m.
“Baggage Claim” tells the story of the D’Baquel family’s vacation, where things are anything but relaxing. The lodge is full of animated goofballs, and the bellhop keeps tossing their luggage into the canyon. A comedic beginning turns
into a darker reality as audiences see the family’s inner conflicts. Roles are available for five men, five women, and additional flex roles. To schedule an audition or for more information, contact director Dorothy Smith at musicditdot@hotmail.com and note “Promise Players Auditions” in the subject line. Performances will be held from Thursday to Sunday, Nov. 7 to 10, and from Thursday to Sunday, Nov. 14 to 17.
Motorcyclists from the Saddlebag Riders are planning a fundraising ride for wounded veterans.
