Although playing with miniature automobiles and riding in a Little Tikes toy car are common pastimes for children, most youngsters have to rely on their imagination to hear the rumble of an engine or to see a waving checkered flag. However, 16-year-old Alex Lukacs of Strasburg sat behind the steering wheel of a real racecar for the first time when he was 6 years old.

Of course, young Alex wasn’t just propped up on a stack of phone books in a full-size racecar; he started his career in the NASCAR Youth Series, which is a quarter midget series. This means that competitors drive vehicles that are one-fourth the size of midget cars. While midget cars typically have four-cylinder engines and can boast up to 400 horsepower, their smaller counterparts are only capable of a fraction of their speed. Quarter midget cars are primarily driven by

Born to race

youths between 5 and 16 years old, and they are typically raced on tracks that are one-twentieth of a mile in length.

Alex started racing at Honey Brook Speedway, and he picked up his first win a year later at Greenwood Valley Action Tracks in Orangeville. Alex continued to compete in quarter midget races as he got older, traveling to race at various tracks in the Mason Dixon Series. In 2019, he started racing in micro sprints, which are smaller versions of the lightweight but powerful open-wheel vehicles known as sprint cars.

On Aug. 26, Alex won the micro sprint race in the 270 sprint car class at Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway in Newmanstown. Alex wasn’t planning on racing that night due to engine issues, but Ron Kreider, the owner of Alex’s car, surprised him by replacing the motor just before the competition.

Circle Legacy Center begins Native American series

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

For the first time in more than three years, Circle Legacy Center is offering a series of programs on the second Friday of every month. The goal of the series is to educate the community on the culture, history and traditions of Native Americans, as well as to raise awareness of modern issues. Each program will be hosted from 6 to 9 p.m. at Community Mennonite Church of Lancaster, 328 W. Orange St., and participants are encouraged to bring a food item to share during a

potluck dinner. Utensils, plates and cups will be provided. Each program will highlight a different topic that pertains to Native American communities. The series kicked off with a meeting on Sept. 8 to welcome new participants and returning members, and Circle Legacy Center shared updates about its upcoming projects and plans for the remainder of the year. The organization also provided information on Every Child Matters, a movement that seeks to raise awareness of the abuse of Native American children in residential

He said he knew (the engine) was going to be fast, and it was,” Alex said. “I tried to run high and cut under the guys who would wash up trying to pass me. After that, we just set sail under the green flag laps.”

Alex was the youngest of 28 drivers who competed in the race, and he remains the youngest driver in the series this season. He credits his father, Eric, with the early

development of his passion for motorsports; when Alex was a kid, Eric worked as a member of a pit crew for NASCAR, and Alex would frequently attend races.

Alex is currently a junior at Lampeter-Strasburg High School. Although he hopes to study criminal justice at Millersville University after high school, Alex has no plans to stop racing any time soon.

From Wednesday, Sept. 27, until the end of Whiskers, Wags and Wine, Britain Hill will accept donations of items from a wish list on its Facebook page. The list includes specific

“This isn’t just a community event. It’s a call to action for animals,” said Debbie Helm, owner of Britain Hill. “It’s a great opportunity to bring your family, bring your

dog and enjoy the day. Anything you buy will contribute in some way.”

Helm created the fundraising event three years ago, inspired by her love for animals and her own rescued dogs. In addition to spreading awareness for animalrelated issues and raising money for each organization, Helm said her goal is to assist their volunteers by donating essential items.

She started teaching at the school’s alternative education building in 2011 while simultaneously completing an administrative program. In 2016, Swarr became an assistant principal at Donegal High School. “I really liked the instructional coaching side of things, and I enjoyed working with new teachers and staff,” Swarr said. Since becoming a school administrator, Swarr has gained experience in serving a variety of communities, including the Red

Lion and Conestoga Valley school districts.

Although this is Swarr’s first year working for L-S School District, she is no stranger to the area; Swarr’s parents, aunts, uncles and cousins are all graduates of L-S High School, and her maternal side of the family used to operate an oil business in Strasburg. Additionally, Swarr served as a student teacher at L-S High School while studying education in 2002. “At all the places I’ve been, I’ve had so many valuable experiences that have helped me as an educator,” Swarr said. “I’ve

always loved the L-S community. I finally feel like I’m home.”

schools. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also referred to as Orange Shirt Day, will be observed on Saturday, Sept. 30. Every year, observers of the holiday don orange clothing to represent the forced assimilation of indigenous peoples.

On Oct. 13, Circle Legacy Center will discuss Indigenous Peoples Day, which is observed by many communities on Oct. 9 instead of Columbus Day. The meeting will feature a presentation on past and present Native American groups in Lancaster. Circle Legacy Center’s program on Nov. 10 will offer Native American dishes for participants to enjoy as they discuss current economic, social and health issues of indigenous people. The meeting will also include a discussion on National Native American Heritage Month, which is annually designated as the month of November.

On Dec. 8, Circle Legacy Center will host guest speaker Dave Costarella, who will share information on his project to help people experiencing homelessness in Lancaster city.

Circle Legacy Center was founded in 2007 by Victoria Valentine of Millersville, who also serves as the organization’s executive director. “I started out as an environmentalist, and I was always interested in Native American culture,” Valentine said. “As I learned more about it, I had a vision to make a bridge between the community and the Native American people, not only to educate people but to raise awareness of their needs.”

Although Circle Legacy Center has no physical headquarters, it remains actively involved with various local organizations. The nonprofit frequently participates in events at Blue Rock Heritage Center in Washington Boro and the Conestoga Area Historical Society. Some Circle Legacy Center board members are also active in similar groups such as the Carlisle Indian School Project, another nonprofit based in Conestoga. The project aims to build a heritage center and museum near the site of the original boarding school in Carlisle.

Turning houses into homes

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

“This isn’t a handout,” said Amanda Reilly-Sokoli, executive director of the Pennsylvania Furniture Mission. “It’s a hand up. Our goal is to fill a hole and a need in the community. We work with existing organizations, and we support the whole family.”

Pennsylvania Furniture Mission opened in June in a warehouse off of Chestnut Street in Columbia.

“We provide a full household of furniture to people who need it,” said Pashk Sokoli, chief operating officer and Amanda’s husband. “People get to choose what they want. We have couches, tables, chairs, dressers, mattresses, beds, lamps, small appliances. We give them the dignity of choice. Our goal is to convert a house into a home.”

Although the 501(c)(3) organization is new to the region, its operating concept is well-established. Prior to relocating to central Pennsylvania, Pashk served as director of operations for the Chicago Furniture Bank, the largest furniture bank in the nation.

An Albanian immigrant, he grew up in a family that at times experienced homelessness. He met Berks Countynative Amanda when she was doing mission work in Albania, and they ultimately decided to launch their own furniture mission in Amanda’s home state.

“We wanted to work in a place where the help was most needed,” Pashk said, of the decision to start the organization in Columbia. From its warehouse, the Pennsylvania Furniture Mission can serve clients in five counties - Lancaster, York, Dauphin, Lebanon and Berks.

Gift card bingo slated

Loyal Christian Benefit Association (LCBA) will hold a gift card bingo on Sunday, Oct. 15, at the Ephrata Elks, 170 Akron Road, Ephrata. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m., and bingo will start at 1 p.m. The event will also include food, door prizes, and a giveaway drawing.

To purchase tickets and for more information, call Barbara Liley at 717-738-1913 or 717-471-7290.

The organization relies on donations for its inventory, accepting gently used furniture from individuals as well as from companies and organizations who are closing or transitioning to new items.

“We have standards for the furniture we accept,” Pashk said. “We won’t take anything with stains, rips or tears. If we don’t think we can use it in our home, we don’t take it.”

All items are thoroughly cleaned with high-grade sanitizer, and many pieces are refurbished or refinished at the warehouse before they go

out to a client’s home.

Pennsylvania Furniture Mission clients are referred to the organization by various community nonprofit organizations. Clients are able to come in person to shop for furniture in the warehouse, or they can set up a virtual appointment.

The organization delivers the furniture to the client’s home, and Amanda and Pashk recently took out a loan to purchase a 16-foot box truck for deliveries, which is saving them time and money now that they don’t have to rent

delivery trucks. They are looking for sponsors to help offset the cost of the new truck, and sponsors will be able to place a sticker with their logo on the truck.

So far, both Amanda and Pashk are volunteering in their positions with the Pennsylvania Furniture Mission. Their goal is to be able

to not only provide employment for people to drive the delivery truck and help with deliveries, but also earn a salary themselves.

For now, however, they are content with the strides they’ve made in a short amount of time.

“We believe in empowering people,” Amanda said, noting

that their clientele includes anyone experiencing financial hardship, including people coming out of homelessness or incarceration. “Our goal is to get them established for future success.”
