Club donates toys for kids at medical centers
Lions District 14-D recently assembled 160 Jared Boxes for distribution to children and youths in the local area.
executive director.
The Jared Box Project was inspired by a kindergarten boy named Jared from State College. Jared had an incurable brain stem tumor and a dream to bring smiles to the faces of other sick children. Jared noticed that the other children waiting for appointments seemed frightened and sad, so he asked his mom if he could share the toys from his backpack with the other kids. To honor Jared after his death, classmates at Our Lady of Victory School and Cindy Kolarik founded the Jared Box Project. Kolarik serves as
Lions District 14-D decided to make Jared Boxes its service project for this year.
After hearing about the project, Lions District 14-D decided to make Jared Boxes its service project for this year. District governor-elect Deb Keeports chaired the project. She recruited fellow Lions Club members Deb Bagnoli, global services chair, and Betty-Jo Bowers, childhood cancer coordinator, to help her lead this effort with a primary goal to aid children in Lebanon and Lancaster hospitals.
On June 4, members of Lions Club District 14-D gathered to assemble the boxes at the Willow Street Lions Club Community Center. Tables were lined with supplies, with items for girls on one side of the room and items for boys on the other side. The
volunteers lined the boxes with glittery tissue paper and a variety of items.
The items included in the
boxes for elementary children were Uno and Old Maid cardswhich were Jared’s favorite toys - socks, water bottles, coloring
books, crayons, colored pencils, and squishy toys. The boxes also included activity sheets and a personalized, handwritten note

“Today is the day we officially take off our hard hats,” said Herman Bontrager to applause. Bontrager, board chair of the Clinic for Special Children and chair of the Keeping the Promise Building Hope capital campaign, was addressing the gathering at the June 20 ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house held at the new Clinic for Special Children, recently completed at 20 Community Lane, Gordonville.

Kids love to discover. Kids love to be independent. Kids love to think.
Kids love Sky Bridge.
The High Foundation Sky Bridge, designed and fabricated by Luckey Climbers, is the Lancaster Science Factory’s latest hands-on exhibit for young learners. It represents the best kind of ingenuity, the kind that inspires
others to be creative.
“More than learning, it’s about inspiring children,” said Amanda Bakay, the Lancaster Science Factory’s director of programs and communications. “When they see it and get inside of it, they start to realize they could create something like this one day. It sparks an idea like, ‘What did someone have to do to think this thing up?’”

project, part gateway to higher learning, Sky Bridge opened to rave reviews at Lancaster Science Factory, 454 New Holland Ave., Lancaster, in April of 2023.
The $600,000 project was fabricated by construction artist and designer Spencer Luckey in his New England shop and then assembled at the Lancaster Science Factory over a three-week span.
“Sometimes kids like to see how quickly they can get to the top,” said Bakay. “It kind of looks like a giant ant farm when it’s filled with children. Sometimes kids will climb to the highest point and hang out. It’s almost like a cool clubhouse.”
When visitors to Lancaster Science Factory round the corner from the main entrance, they are confronted with Sky Bridge, which is attached to beams on the high ceiling of the former manufacturing plant. But the massive structure does not make contact with the ground.
“We’ve always wanted to use our horizontal space, to have a bridge span over our main exhibit hall,” said
pg 1
Bakay. “It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before, just because you can climb in it. It’s so accessible, and having a bird’s-eye view of the exhibit hall is so cool.”
Framed by metal and held together by thick wire netting, Sky Bridge is a series of 35 wooden panels strategically spaced throughout the structure. Sky Bridge both stands out and fits right in with the Lancaster Science Factory’s 75 other exhibits.
“Everything we do is very hands-on and interactive,” said Bakay. “Everything we have requires you to do something and try something in a different way. Sky Bridge is like our other exhibits because it’s immersive, but there’s no beginning, middle or end. We also really don’t have anything else you can get inside and climb on.”
During 2023, nearly 71,000 individuals visited the Lancaster Science Factory, about 11,000 more than officials had projected. When those officials searched for reasons for the increase, they looked to Sky Bridge.
“It’s made a huge impact
on our visitation,” said Bakay. “(The increase) was all, or in part, because of Sky Bridge. It gave us something to talk about.”
Partly through the funding of a $1 million capital campaign, the Lancaster Science Factory, which boasts 17,000 square feet of exhibit space, opened in 2008.
“Our mission is to inspire creativity in children through science, technology, engineering
and math (STEM) programs and keep them accessible to everyone in the community,” said Bakay. “We want the facility to stay open to everyone in our community. We’ve really grown from this small science factory to a regional destination.”

for each child. The outsides of the boxes were adorned with stickers.
For tweens with behavioral issues, the Lions Club made boxes with Squishmallows, origami kits, playing cards, and word searches.
The items for the boxes were purchased with a District and Club Community Impact Grant from the Lions Club International Foundation. Keeports, Bowers, and Bagnoli delivered the Jared Boxes to the Penn State Health Children’s Lancaster Pediatric Center on June 10. Leigh Anna Hilbert and a group of medical care providers greeted the Lions Club members and expressed their gratitude for the Jared Boxes. They also expressed interest in receiving more boxes in the future and the possibility for a partnership with the Lions Club for other community service projects. The Lions Club also planned to deliver boxes to Lancaster General Hospital and WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital in Lebanon.

and immediately recalled April 4, 2023, when the organization broke ground for the new building. He also reminded the gathering of the vision and courage of Dr. Holmes Morton and his wife, Caroline, who founded the clinic 35 years ago. “We have served the most vulnerable among us - children and adults facing rare genetic disorders,” said Bontrager, adding, “Today children with once life-limiting disorders are growing into healthy adults and new treatments are on the horizon. This building represents the clinic’s promise to care for children as they age and seek life-giving therapies.”
The Rodriguez family from New York spoke next, with Alicia, mother of Eric and wife of Walter, telling the story of how the family was overwhelmed by Eric’s diagnosis of glutaric acidemia, when he was born at 31 weeks of gestation. Walter searched the internet for answers, and when he discovered the clinic in Lancaster County, the family drove the four hours to meet staff members. “We thought the GPS had made a mistake,” noted Alicia of the final portion of the trip when the car traveled through a farm field and a cluster of trees. “From the moment we walked in, we felt hope,” she stated,

and capital campaign chair
noting that Eric, who is now 5, is in good health and “runs us ragged.” “He is our daily reminder that God is gracious and good,” she said. “The clinic manifests hope when there isn’t any.”
Clinic executive director Adam Heaps spoke prior to the ribbon cutting. “The vision for this project was conceived a number of years ago when the need for the clinic’s innovative and essential services was increasing while the walls of clinic were not,” he said. Heaps defined the work of the organization in a number of ways, noting
that the office serves children and adults with genetic disorders primarily from the Plain community. “We walk alongside families that have to make important decisions relating to some of the most daunting medical challenges,” he said. Heaps noted that staff members endeavor to create a comforting and inspiring environment for every family that walks through the clinic’s doors, and he quoted a donor who recently prayed for the clinic, saying, “The clinic is a place where love and know-how come together.”
“To me, at the end of the day, the clinic combines love and knowledge to create good,” Heaps added. More information about the clinic may be found at www.ClinicforSpecial Children.org.

Mascot Roller Mills, Ressler Family Home steeped in history
BY JEFF FALK
As Lancaster County’s history was evolving, dozens of water-powered, grain-grinding mills dotted the local landscape. Few are left standing, much less still operating, except for maybe one - Mascot Roller Mills.
That’s what makes Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home unique and so intriguing as an attraction. The historic site whisks visitors away to a time 300 years ago when mills supported communities, provided a places for residents to gather and socialize and ground their crops into food.
“I really think we sometimes believe that where we are is created out of our own making,” said James
Landis, executive director of the Ressler Mills Foundation, which owns and operates Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home. “There is wisdom in the past, and if we can tap into that, we might be able to understand where we’re going and who we are.”
“I think the question is, ‘Are we open to experiencing history?’” continued Landis. “There has been history lost here. We’re surrounded by history that’s a mystery. I like to think about all the families who lived here.”
As far as Lancaster County attractions go - for both local and out-of-town history buffs - the site of Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home, located at 2280 Stumptown Road, Ronks, is somewhat
Yard Cleanups
of a hidden gem. The attraction offers a 30-minute guided tour of the mill and a 30-minute guided tour of the homestead where the mill’s three generations of operators lived. Both are free and open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., from May 1 to Oct. 26 this year.
The attraction is recognized as a National Historic Site.
“It was not unique in the day, and there are other mills in the county,” said Landis. “What’s unique about this mill is that the Ressler family, through wise investments, had the funds to set up a foundation.”
Situated on 40 acres at the intersection of Stumptown Road and Newport Road, the 1700s-era Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home are the only two of the eight
buildings on the property that are open to the public.
A dozen paid part-time staff members, including tour guides, cater to about 3,000 visitors each season.
“It’s people from all over the world, typically tourists, but some locals,” said Landis. “We’re hearing local folks say, ‘I drive by a lot, but I never visited.’ Engineers have a field day here. It’s teachers and parents and homeschoolers trying to give their kids a different experience.”
For many visitors, the highlight of the Mascot Roller Mills tour is when the large corn and wheat roller grinders are once again brought to life to produce corn meal and flour right before their very eyes.
“When we turn the machines on, it’s like, ‘Whoa!’” said Landis. “It
