Manheim Central
Bible2School receives donation
BY CAT SHANNON
The mission of Bible2School, a Manheim-based organization, is to introduce children to the Word of God and guide them in building a relationship with Jesus. It just became a little easier for the nonprofit to do just that. Matthews Children’s Foundation recently presented Bible2School with a check for $1,000.
Matthews Children’s Foundation of Pittsburgh is a nonprofit organization associated with Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions, manufacturers and distributors of caskets, urns and other funeral-related products. The foundation exclusively supports children’s charities across
the U.S. by awarding grants three times a year. Since its inception in 1992, the foundation has granted nearly $5 million to community-based, nonprofit children’s organizations nationwide. All
“My hope is that the children will hear a message of how much they are loved by God.”
recipients must be recommended by a Matthews Aurora funeral home partner. William P. Spence Funeral & Cremation Services Inc. of Manheim sponsored and recommended Bible2School to
Matthews Children’s Foundation.
“I’m delighted with the board’s choice of Bible2School to receive our most recent donation,” said Derek Miller, business development director for Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions. “It was very rewarding to hear ... firsthand that our funds will help them upgrade necessary technology needed for their local program in Manheim Central.”
Bible2School, a public school ministry, equips communities to provide free Bible classes to elementary school children during their public school daytypically over lunch and recess. Children walk or are bused to a nearby church where volunteers engage them in lively worship, interactive Bible lessons,

The seeds for the annual Lancaster County Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) event were planted in 2013 when pediatrician Dr. Lora Mangus Wenger and her family visited Haiti with members of Willow Street Mennonite Church as part of a Mission of Hope mission trip.
“At that time, (Mission of Hope) was feeding 50,000
children a day by distributing meals to their school, other schools, and orphanages,” Mangus Wenger said. “A warehouse (of food provided by FMSC) was stacked from floor to ceiling with boxes.”
Mangus Wenger had never heard of FMSC before that and decided to do some research after returning home. She discovered there were no MobilePack events taking place in Pennsylvania, so

Organization exceeds charitable goal
Humane Pennsylvania has exceeded its goal of providing one million meals to pets in need throughout Berks and Lancaster counties and beyond in 2024, thanks to the generosity of the community. In 2024, Humane Penn -
sylvania’s Healthy Pets Initiative collected 365,908 pounds of pet food - equivalent to nearly 1.5 million meals. This program helps families to keep their pets happy and healthy at home. By July 2024, Spike’s Pet Food Pantry had

To launch the program, The GIANT Company will donate $100,000. Through the more than $7.6 million provided to schools through the Feeding School Kids program, public school districts have been able to support meal programs and address food insecurity from supplying backpacks with weekend food to clearing outstanding student lunch debt to building on-campus food pantries and establishing
garden programs. In 2024, for example, Eastern York School District covered negative student lunch balances and provided nutritious breakfasts to students on state-mandated testing days, impacting 2,200 students. In addition, the volunteer organization NutriPacks served 800 students each week, providing access to nutritious food on weekends and school breaks.

WAYNE K. CALLAHAN
Wayne K. Callahan, 71, of Manheim, passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, February 22, 2025. He was born in Lewistown, PA to the late Kenneth and Margaret (Goodwin) Callahan. Wayne was the loving husband of Jenese (Watson) Callahan, with whom he shared 48 years of marriage.
Wayne was a 1971 graduate of Kishacoquillas High School. He was a mechanic for UPS who retired after 40 years of service. He was a hard worker, and a jack of all trades. Most of his free time was spent in his garage fixing cars for friends and family. He enjoyed watching NASCAR races, having karaoke parties, working on outside projects, and spending time with his family.
Surviving in addition to his wife, Jenese, are two daughters, Karen, wife of Matthew Deller, of Manheim, Janelle, wife of Jedediah Mearig, of Lititz, five grandchildren; Gabe and Layna Deller, Jordan, Jackson, and Jace Mearig. He was preceded in death by a son, Brian Callahan, and two brothers, Gordon and Jesse Callahan.

said Zerbe, who resides in Strasburg. “Anybody interested in playing should call or email and give us your contact information so we can follow up with you. But if there are people who can’t play anymore, but would like to help coach, we’d be interested in those people.”
Each team has a coach and an assistant coach, and some serve as league officers and board members.
Lanco Senior Softball, which started in 1990, currently has about 200 players divided among 12 teams split into two divisions, American and National.
Last year’s teams were Gus’s Keystone Family Restaurant (home field at Rapho Park), LH Brubaker Appliances (Garrett Field), RH Cooper & Son (Rapho Park), Speedwell Construction (Rapho Park), Ephrata Good’s Disposal (Ephrata Middle School), Kautz Construction (Garrett Field), Strasburg (Strasburg Jaycee Park), TJ Rockwell’s (Rapho Park), Caruso’s Pizzeria (Rapho Park), GE Richards Graphic Supplies (Garrett Field), Mid Penn Bank (Ephrata Middle School), and Steel Fab Enterprises (Garrett Field).
Players do not have to play with the team based closest to their homes.
“It’s competitive,” Zerbe said. “These fellas, most of them have been playing some sort of organized ball in high school right through college and in different softball leagues as they got older and still enjoy the game.”
The median age of players
in the league is 64, Zerbe said.
Teams will begin practicing in April, and there will occasionally be in-season practices. The season will start in either the last week of April or first week of May with one or two games a week. The seven-inning games will start at 6 p.m. and will generally be over by 7:15 or 7:30, Zerbe said.
It is a modified league, which means pitchers throw as fast as they can while using a bowling-style motion, Zerbe explained. There is no sliding or base stealing. American Softball Association (ASA) rules and ASA umpires are used.
“We do have fun, but it can get very competitive,” said Zerbe. “You have different calibers of teams. You have some teams where guys are just trying to have fun and enjoy the game. If they win, they win. If they lose, they lose. Other guys like to win and win it all.”
In addition to Rapho Park in Mount Joy, Ephrata Middle School, Garrett Field in Willow Street, and Strasburg Jaycee Park, Stauffer Park in Lancaster is used for championship games and could host regular-season games this year.
There were 17 regular-season games last year, with that total depending on the number of teams in the league. The regular season is slated to finish at the end of July, followed by the double-elimination playoffs with all teams qualifying and seeded based on record. A champion is crowned

from both divisions.
Zerbe is hoping to attract more players for the 2025 campaign. “It seems like we’re struggling with having fellas in their early 50s who are excited about continuing to play softball,” he said. “Some of the guys are coming back and playing, but recruiting new fellas seems to be a little harder.”
The requirements are simple. “You have to have a love of the sport, baseball or softball,” said Zerbe. “You have to love the sport to want to play. You have to have a little bit of competitive spirit and ability to play. That being said, if you want to enjoy and meet some good fellas who are unified in their ability to play and want to play, then come join us. It’s good exercise. The older we get, the more we move and the more we stay active, the longer we’re going to live. If you can come out and one night a week you run and bat and throw the ball, it keeps your blood pumping and it keeps you young. Come out and have a good time and enjoy the camaraderie. You can meet people and become friends.”

she and her husband, Todd, and daughters, Anna and Naomi, participated in a MobilePack in New Jersey.
Sit-down jobs are available if needed.
“I thought, ‘We can probably do this ourselves,’” she recalled. Willow Street Mennonite Church got involved and hosted the first Lancaster County MobilePack in 2014. That event attracted 50 volunteers and put together 100,000 meals.
This year will mark a milestone. Because two years were canceled because of COVID, the 10th Lancaster County FMSC MobilePack will take place Friday to Sunday, March 28 to 30, at Willow Street Mennonite Church, 399 E. Penn Grant Road, Willow Street.
To date, meals have gone to Somalia, Haiti, Belize, the Dominican Republic, Malawi, Uganda, Jamaica, Poland, Guyana, and Moldova. Over the prior nine events, more than 10,000 volunteers from the community have come together to send more than 2.3 million meals to those most in need around the world, Mangus Wenger said.
This year, the plan is to have 2,000 volunteers work two-hour shifts to pack 400,000 meals in three days. There are no age limitations. For safety and efficiency, studentto-adult ratios are put in place, Mangus Wenger said.
Individuals who sign up for a packing shift are encouraged but not required to make a personal goal of contributing a minimum of $63. At the price of 29 cents a meal, this donation covers the cost of one box of packed meals (216 meals), which is the average amount a single volunteer packs in a two-hour period.
“This food is literally going to those most in need around the world.
Some of the people receiving this food only have one good meal a day,” said Mangus Wenger, who is the Lancaster County FMSC MobilePack chairperson.
Donations may be submitted at www.fmsc.org.
Registration is underway and can be completed on the website.
Packing times are March 28 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.; Saturday, March 29, from 9 to 11 a.m., noon to 2 p.m., 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., and 5 to 7 p.m.; and March 30 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Some shift times are more popular than others and fill quickly.
FMSC is also committed to helping people closer to home by collecting food for the Lancaster County Food Hub. Volunteers are invited to bring a nonperishable food item that will be donated to the food hub in Lancaster city. Anyone from Lancaster County may receive food from this location.
Items requested include 1-lb. containers of peanut butter; canned meats such as chicken or tuna; 1-lb. bags of white or brown rice; canned fruit in juice or light syrup; pasta, preferably whole wheat; meal helpers; low-sugar breakfast cereal; and low-sodium soup.
Anyone who has never participated in an FMSC event will need to visit
www.fmsc.org, set up a username and password to register as an individual or for a group, go to the upper right-hand corner, and click “Log in.” People can then create an account to set up a username and password.
After setting up an account, participants may type “FMSC.org login” into a browser and click on “Volunteer.” People may then reserve the number of spots they will need for their group. Groups may help during multiple shifts, but they should not reserve more spaces than they know they will fill.
“I’m very thankful that so many people are willing to get involved,” Mangus Wenger said. “It particularly makes me happy to see children involved, because I think it’s very important we help them understand the importance of having adequate food on a regular basis, and how in the United States, we’re very, very blessed. Unfortunately, a lot of children in the world don’t have adequate nutrition.
We are able to help them. I am happy to see our community be so supportive.”
To celebrate the 10th event in Lancaster County, Daryl Fulp of Hope for Home Ministries in Guatemala will talk briefly before each packing session about the impact of the volunteers’ work.
Dr. Lora Mangus Wenger is the Lancaster County Feed My Starving Children MobilePack chairperson.
Youth program to accept applications
The Keystone State ChalleNGe Academy (KSCA) is accepting applications for its next class of cadets, which will begin the program in July 2025. There is no tuition cost to attend. Meals, housing, uniforms, and school supplies are provided at no charge.
The KSCA is designed to give academically challenged teens a second chance at obtaining their basic education, as well as opportunities to learn leadership, self-discipline, and responsibility, to build a better life. The opening of the academy at Fort Indiantown Gap (FTIG) in Lebanon County in July 2022 formally estab -
lished the National Guard Bureau’s Youth ChalleNGe Program in Pennsylvania. The program is open to 16- to 18-year-old Pennsylvania residents who are failing to progress in high school or may not be on a clear path to graduating, or who are unemployed or under employed. Applicants must be willing to be drug free. They must be free of felony convictions and voluntarily commit to the program. The first 22 weeks of the program consist of residential training at FTIG followed by 24 months of mentorship back in participants’ home communities.
The KSCA conducts two classes a year, one
starting in mid-July and the other in mid-January. Applications are accepted throughout the year.
The KSCA is a joint effort between the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) and the National Guard Bureau in consultation with the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE).
Cadets are introduced to the military structure and focus on eight core components: academic excellence; physical fitness; leadership/followership; responsible citizenship; job skills; service to the community; health and hygiene; and life coping skills. Graduates often
receive high school credits, credentials, or a GED.
The award-winning National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program was launched in 1993, and it currently operates 38 sites in 29 states and territories. The program is both federally and state funded.
More details, including the online application, can be found at www .pa.gov/agencies/dmva/ keystone-state-challenge -academy.html. New applicants also have the option of having an application mailed to them by emailing the academy at RA-MVPACHAL LENGE@pa.gov or by calling 717-861-7767 or 717-861-8831.

PA Turnpike and PennDOT were recognized for the statewide Work Zone Speed Safety Camera program, launched in partnership with PSP in March 2024. Previously referred to as Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement, the initial five-year pilot program became permanent when Gov. Josh Shapiro signed House Bill 1284 into law on Dec. 14, 2023.
Pennsylvania’s Work Zone Speed Safety Camera program uses vehicle-mounted, electronic speed timing devices to detect and record motorists exceeding posted work zone speed limits by 11 miles per hour or more. Camera systems are only operational in active work zones where workers are present. Registered owners receive warning letters for the first offense, a violation notice with a fine for a second offense, and a violation notice with a larger fine for third and subsequent offenses. The violations are civil penalties with no points assessed to drivers’ licenses.
During the five-year pilot program, participating work zones saw a reduction in speeding, and work zone crashes also declined when a speed enforcement vehicle was present. Reducing crashes within work zones and protecting highway workers from the traveling public is top priority for the PA Turnpike. As part of this commitment, the PA Turnpike has a dedicated task force that focuses on construction zones, crash analysis, and near-real-time adjustments to working conditions.
Stemming from this task force, the PA Turnpike and PennDOT joined forces again this fall, developing a New Driver Work Zone Safety Program. The free, 35-minute virtual training program teaches new drivers how to navigate work zones with confidence and safety. To learn more, visit https:// tinyurl.com/NewDriver WorkZoneSafety.

Program to examine tinnitus
A presentation about tinnitus - ringing or buzzing in the ear - will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 11, at Landis Homes, 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lititz. The presentation will take place in the High Auditorium, just inside the door of the Calvin G. & Janet C. High Learning & Wellness

Lecture to explore 1820s fashion
Historic Rock Ford will host a lecture, “From Regency to Romantic: The Essentials of 1820s Fashion,” on Sunday, March 9, at 1 p.m. The program will be held in the Langmuir Education Room located on the first floor of the Rockford Barn at Historic Rock Ford, 881 Rock Ford Road, Lancaster.
The 1820s was a transformational time in the history of fashion. Caught between the Regency and Victorian periods, the decade reflects changes in textile technology and changing artistic aesthetics. This lecture will unravel the style of this exciting decade.
The presenter, Margaret O’Neil, is a textile conservator currently working in Philadelphia. She graduated from the Winterthur/Uni-
versity of Delaware Program in Art Conservation in 2023 with a major in textiles and a minor in preventive conservation. She is interested in historical dress from the 17th through 20th centuries and shares her work on social media under the name Costume and Conservation.

The exhibit “Ain’t I a Woman?” will be on display in the Regitz Gallery from 6 to 8 p.m. The collaborative exhibit by Wanawake, a collective of local woman artists led by spoken word poet Thunda Khatt, is a tribute to the resilience, strength, and creativity of women, drawing inspiration from their shared history and individual journeys.
