Mastering a family business
BY CAT SHANNON
Talk with Emily Longenecker Rineer about her new role at Root’s Country Market & Auction, and you can’t help but hear the excitement in her voice.
“It almost feels like a dream come true to be here and be fully a part of everything,” said the new market master. “I’m excited to work alongside standholders and continue to have this place be a Lancaster County tradition.”
Emily is at the helm of a Manheim-based business started by her great-great-grandfather A.W. Root in 1925. Although her great-grandmother Edith Root Longenecker was president of the business, there has never been a female market master until Emily.
Emily grew up in the market, spending free time there with her siblings and her father Tom Longenecker who has served as market master for more than 40 years. She attended Hempfield High School and Elizabethtown College, working during the summers in both Root’s Old Mill Flea Market and Root’s Country Market.
Initially, however, Emily chose a different career path than the family business. She was an upper elementary school teacher at a local Montessori school for seven years.
“I’ve always had a love and passion for teaching, having had some really great teachers when I was growing up. I always wanted to be that teacher for other students,” she said. “That was my first dream, but I knew my dad was wearing so many hats here and he was going to need some assistance.”
As the market enters its 100th year of operation, Emily thought the milestone provided a nice
incredible to be a part of the fifth generation in this business.”
Her father is in his 60s now, but he’s not going anywhere, she said.
Support Mt. Hope with a Sweetheart Meal
BY CAT SHANNON
Mt. Hope Nazarene Retirement Community, located in Rapho Township, is more than just a skilled nursing facility. It’s a place where seniors and people with disabilities receive compassionate care, regardless of their financial circumstances. As a 50-bed skilled nursing facility, Mt. Hope also includes six independent living cottages, offering residents a sense of autonomy and comfort. The community is dedicated to serving individuals in need, particularly those who face financial hardship.
“Many at Mt. Hope don’t have resources to cover costs of care, and so a gap of about $200 per day exists between what a resident is able to pay and what their care
actually costs,” said Kris Wilson, director of advancement. “At our core, we’re known to have a reputation as an encouraging, supportive community providing quality nursing care that focuses on providing dignity, hope and love regardless of someone’s financial status.”
This gap, however, doesn’t stop Mt. Hope from its mission; the facility provides over $1 million in charitable care each year.

opportunity for a career change.
“I always knew I wanted to be a part of the market,” she shared.
“I have loved learning from my dad and working with him. It’s
“Longeneckers don’t really retire,” she said with a laugh, noting that her grandfather is in his early 90s and he still comes over on Tuesdays when the market is open.
As market master, Emily will be responsible for operations of the market, including filling stand vacancies and maintaining open communications with standholders.
It’s a big job, she admits, since the market features 250 standholders in the summer along with standholders who operate

Picture this: A makeshift store containing aisles and aisles of brand-new kids’ coats separated by sizes, styles and colors. Families in need can enter, peruse the winter coats, select one and take it home.
That’s what Coats for Kids looks like. That’s what the Salvation Army means when it says, “Doing the most good.”
“My favorite part about Coats for Kids is when the kids go into where the coats are,” said Shady
Boules, who’s been Salvation Army Lancaster Corps’ operations and development manager for five years. “You see their eyes open. I tell them, ‘Go ahead; pick a coat.’ They’ll answer, ‘Do you mean I can pick a coat? Do you mean I can pick my favorite color?’ For some, it’s their first time. To see kids making a decision on what things they can wear is very rewarding.”
It is at that exact moment when all the hard work that goes into the Salvation Army Lancaster’s Coats for Kids program

year-round inside buildings on the grounds.
She sees a challenge in finding the best options for everyone involved in the market.
“I’m dealing with a lot of individual business owners, and I want to make sure all decisions made are what’s best for everyone,” she said. “I want to consider the needs of the standholders and the customers.”
towards what it is that they do, and this really becomes a community of people here every Tuesday.”
When she’s not at Root’s, Emily enjoys spending time with her husband, Kyle, and their dog, Nigel.
As she settles into her new role, Emily is focused on the future while staying aware of the past.

Coats for Kids
becomes worth it.
The 30th annual initiative to make sure every kid in Lancaster County has a brand-new winter coat continues. Coats for Kids, which is currently being implemented at the Salvation Army Lancaster Corps’ headquarters’ gymnasium at 131 S. Queen St., Lancaster, kicked off its efforts in October, and the program will run through the end of March or until the weather turns warmer.
“Once fall arrives, some people start thinking, ‘How do I get coats for my kids?’” said Boules. “We want kids to be able to go to school and make sure the other kids can’t tell their coats came from the Salvation Army. We treat our neighbors with dignity. We want them to be proud of their coats.”
This season’s Coats for Kids initiative has already distributed 1,900 brand-new kids’ coats to kids and families in need from Lancaster County. The Salvation Army expects to hand out another 600

To help support its residents, Mt. Hope will hold a Sweetheart To-Go Benefit Meal at LCBC - Manheim Campus, 2392 Mount Joy Road, Manheim, on Saturday, Feb. 22, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The curbside pickup meal will include Peters’ BBQ firegrilled chicken, gourmet cheese potatoes, sweet and sour green beans with bacon, applesauce, a dinner roll with butter and a dessert.
Proceeds from the meal will help fund resident care and other projects at the community, including construction of new cottages.
In an effort to continue its mission, Mt. Hope is expanding its independent living offerings with two new duplex cottages, adding four additional single-floor living apartments. This project, slated for completion by 2026, will help increase the facility’s long-term revenue and provide space for families and volunteers who support the nursing home residents.
The total cost of the project is estimated at $1.2 million, a goal that Mt. Hope is actively working toward through fundraising.
“Mt. Hope provides a reasonable option for individuals in Lancaster County and beyond who would have nowhere else to go,” Wilson said. “Fundraising is an ongoing requirement for Mt. Hope to meet its mission and provide care to those in need. These cottages will increase our revenue, and thereby reduce our reliance on donations to meet
coats before the end of the winter season.
Individuals can still donate brand-new coats by dropping them off at the Salvation Army Lancaster Corps’ headquarters, or they can donate monetarily.
“If people have more coats, we’d appreciate it. We need more coats all the time,” said Boules. “We hope we’ll keep doing it. Every single dollar for this program goes right to Coats for Kids. It doesn’t go anywhere else. We want to make sure we have enough coats for next year and the year after.”
The Coats for Kids program is designed for kids up to 16 years of age who reside in Lancaster County. Following an application and interview process, each child in need is permitted to choose one coat.
“We cover every ZIP code in Lancaster County,” said Boules. “Some people think we’re only serving people from the city, but that’s not true.”
ongoing operational needs.”
Mt. Hope will also raise funds through the sale of a 28-acre farm on the property. “The facility is not able to build on this agricultural land,” Wilson explained. “Mt. Hope has always aimed to be good stewards of its resources and manage them conservatively. The sale of the farmhouse will allow us to build four new living units in an area where we are allowed to build and bring in income to support the nursing home.” Open houses for the sale will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Feb. 22 and on Saturday, March 1.
Wilson shared how Mt. Hope fulfills its mission in unique ways. “Mt. Hope tries to provide an option for families who have loved ones in need of our services,” she said. “Being able to move in a spouse of a current resident or an employee of Mt. Hope at the same time is the sweetest
“It gives hope to the children when they know there’s a community standing behind them,” Boules continued. “We have a lot of people dropping off checks and saying, ‘We were part of this program years ago. I’d like to give back and pay for someone else.’”
It takes nearly 150 volunteers - community members, members of churches, companies and service clubs and students - to make Coats for Kids run smoothly. In the early days of September,
act of care for a family. Recently, Mt. Hope provided a room for a team member’s spouse.”
She explained that Tammy Lutz, longtime dietary manager at Mt. Hope, was able to have her husband of 45 years, John, come to Mt. Hope for care after he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
“It felt like a weight had been lifted,” Tammy shared. “I could work and be with John as much as I could be. I could see my husband was more relaxed and at peace at Mt. Hope. Everyone was so kind and caring. I never worried he wasn’t being cared for because I knew he always would be.”
John was at Mt. Hope for 28 days before he passed away this past fall. “I felt so blessed John could be at Mt. Hope and we could be together,” Tammy said. “Mt. Hope was exactly thathope. We felt compassion, love
