A piece of the past
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Earlier this year, Sharry Theal of Manheim was at home sorting books to donate to the library when she stumbled upon an unusual find.
Tucked into the pages of “The Illustrious Life of William McKinley - Our Martyred President” was a folded piece of paper. Theal opened the paper to reveal a broadsheet advertisement detailing why people in Lancaster should not vote for Thaddeus Stevens, a Republican candidate for Congress.
While the book Theal found the broadsheet in was published in the beginning of the 20th century, the document itself dates to 1862. It was written by Henry Clay, a Senator representing the Whig Party, and it’s addressed “To the people of Lancaster.”
“It has a few facts about the history of Thaddeus Stevens and some sort of nasty words about him,” Theal said, noting that Clay refers to the abolitionist candidate as an “imbecile.”
Wondering if she could find out more about the broadsheet, Theal took it to a recent antique appraisal event at the Manheim Historical Society, where she learned its value and other details.
“This was something someone might have hung up in a window,” she said of the poster, which is printed on one side. “They think it might have been printed in Philly.”
Theal remembered reading about a new Thaddeus Stevens museum coming to Lancaster, and she reached out to offer the piece for its collection.
She met with Stephanie Townrow, the museum’s director of interpretation and exhibitions, earlier this month to donate the piece. The Thaddeus Stevens & Lydia Hamilton Smith Center for History and Democracy will be located at the site of Stevens’ home
and law offices at Vine and Queen streets in downtown Lancaster. It is named for the congressman and his confidante, a senior member of Stevens’ household. The museum is a project of LancasterHistory and is tentatively set to open in October of 2025.
Theal has always been interested in history, she said, noting that her passion for the past began when she was a child after her mother completed extensive genealogy work. At 16, Theal gave the Gettysburg Address to an audience in Gettysburg as part of a Daughters of the American Revolution program.
As an adult, she continued to love history, and she currently serves as secretary of the Manheim Historical Commission, an organization dedicated to restoring and preserving the history of Manheim.
“I give tours for the Manheim Historical Society on 1st Thursdays at the log homes,” she said, referencing the society’s Fasig and Keath houses on East High Street. “I do a half-hour tour around the area. I call it my ‘two-block tour.’”
She also collects antique books and thinks she picked up the McKinley book at an auction in East Petersburg.
“The book is a first edition from 1900,” she said, noting that she has read some of it but not all of it. “It’s a little on the fragile side.”
She’s looking forward to seeing the broadsheet on display at the Thaddeus Stevens museum, and she hopes her discovery will inspire others to donate historical items.
“If you have a local historical society, you can donate family items or things that pertain to the town,” she said. “They are

Christian nonprofit organization American Home Life International (AHLI) began decades ago with the dream of Marvin and Ruth Powers, a newlywed couple from Lancaster that wished to serve side by side as missionaries overseas. Although their initial dream of evangelism abroad was never realized, Marvin and Ruth hosted their first international student in

Mental Health America of Lancaster County (MHALC) is bringing attention to the importance of mental health, and much of its good work originates from simple conversations.
“We’ve come quite a long way from my generation of ‘suck it up’ and ‘you’ll be fine,’” said Dave Krahling, who’s been MHALC’s program manager since November of 2023. “Now, we have more people talking about their mental health. We’re
shining a light on it, and it’s become more acceptable. The more we talk about it, the more we’re realizing we’re not alone.”
Located at 245 Butler Ave., No. 204, Lancaster, MHALC is more of a facilitator, an advocate for mental health, than a hands-on treatment organization. MHALC performs its work through education, support and mental health screenings and by outreach programs at businesses, libraries and schools.
“If you have a brain, you have mental health,” said Krahling.

1972. More than fifty years later, AHLI has served thousands of students from around the globe, and it continues to help them find host families throughout the United States.
AHLI’s mission statement is to “provide quality education programs to international students in the safe, caring environment of Christian host families where they will experience the love of Christ.” Nicole Bianchi, a resident of West Lampeter, is an AHLI coordinator. Bianchi’s job is to locate families in the community that wish to open their homes to students, visiting the potential hosts to make sure they will be a good fit. “I love my job. The kinds of families that open up their homes are usually
incredible people,” Bianchi said. “Every time I leave a home, I’m blown away by the heart of the community.”
Bianchi’s experience with AHLI began when she was 6 years old, after her parents had decided to host students through the organization. “It was just a part of our normal family culture,” said Bianchi. “I even went to Japan to visit a student who I consider a sister to me.”
After graduating high school, Bianchi married a professional baseball player whose career required them to travel frequently. Bianchi and her husband lived with AHLI host families until his retirement, and they decided to become a host family themselves after returning to Lancaster. Bianchi has hosted students from various countries in Europe and Asia, and she is currently hosting a student from China. As a coordinator, Bianchi meets with visiting students once
per month to check in and share a fun activity.
“I had such a passion for (AHLI) from hosting,” Bianchi said. “I feel like it does things really well, putting kids in safe, caring homes while they get an education in Lancaster.” Although Bianchi is based in West Lampeter, host families can be located anywhere in the county.
In addition to providing international students with a safe environment to receive an education,
Bianchi said AHLI allows families a paid opportunity to learn about other cultures. “People think it’s going to be like having another kid, but it really ends up being a blessing,” added Bianchi. “Parents already have to make dinner, and every day our student will tell us about his culture, which is good for my kids to hear about.”

Annual Brethren Disaster Relief Auction slated
The 47th annual Brethren Disaster Relief Auction will be held at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center and Fairgrounds, 80 Rocherty Road, Lebanon, on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 27 and 28, beginning at 9 a.m.
The auction, in cooperation with the Atlantic Northeast and Southern Districts of the Church of the Brethren, began in 1977 and has provided more than $19 million in disaster relief to victims of natural disasters both in the U.S. and internationally. Funds raised by the auction not only pay for emergency supplies for disaster victims but also support volunteer disaster relief trips throughout the year. In the past few years, funds and volunteers from the auction have helped immediate relief efforts and long-term cleanup

“We need to realize that mental health and physical health are combined.”
MHALC serves Lancaster County residents dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, personality disorders and thoughts of suicide. Last year alone, MHALC reached nearly 800 people through its advocacy program; 2,262 youths through its school education; and 6,075 individuals through its community outreach support program.
Also in 2023, MHALC’s family and youth advocate program served more than 560 local people and wrote 136 individual education plans (IEPs). During that same time, MHALC’s prison advocacy program reached more than 1,500 people incarcerated at the Lancaster County Prison.
“The more we advocate, the more people are reaching out and seeking help,” said Krahling. “It’s everyone, anyone who has concerns about mental health. It could be themselves or a child. It’s people being challenged by everyday life. We want to make sure people have the support and the medication they need. The biggest thing is getting the word out that MHALC is here. I like to go out and meet the public. When people realize who I am, they want
to talk about mental health.”
At the heart of what MHALC does is people helping people. Supported by the work of volunteers, MHALC’s staff consists of four full-time employees and four part-timers.
MHALC receives funding from the Lancaster County government through grants and fundraisers.
“(MHALC employees are) a lot of peers,” said Krahling. “It’s people who are passionate about mental health. We don’t want to provide therapy; we want to get clients to people who are therapists.”
MHALC was established as an independent affiliate of Mental Health America in 1977. Mental Health America was founded in 1909 as the National Mental Health Association.
“We’re very strong with our education, and we have phenomenal programs,” said Krahling. “Our goal is to make talking about mental health like talking about the weather. There are thousands and thousands of people alive today because they’ve talked about mental health.”

auctions, the heifer auction, the coin auction, and pole barn auctions. The two-day event may have as many as five auctions taking place at once.
Children’s activities this year will include the children’s auction, specializing in new items for children to be bid on only by children. A children’s store will offer quality used items at reasonable prices, as well as face painting. A balloon artist will create balloon animals for kids, as well. Also available for youngsters, weather permitting, will be free barrel train rides and pony rides, the latter of which will be offered for a nominal donation.
Food is a large part of the auction each year, with options including made-on-site Amish soft pretzels and doughnuts, a cafeteria, food stands, breakfast, and a chicken potpie dinner. Other components of the auction include an area for arts and crafts and a farmers market with fresh produce and baked goods, including homemade pies.
To find out more about the auction, visit www.brethrenau ction.org, call 717-823-2745, or pick up an auction booklet at many local retailers.
