Eagle Scout holds veterans appreciation dinner

BY FRANCINE FULTON

One of the requirements of earning an Eagle Scout Award is the completion of a community service project that showcases the Scout’s planning, organizing and leadership skills.

Because Karis Toothman of Birdsboro, a member of Troop 543G in Plowville, is the daughter of a Marine Corps veteran who was wounded in combat, for her project she chose to hold an appreciation

dinner to honor local veterans.

Karis, the daughter of Drew and Misty Toothman, hosted the dinner in November 2023 at Hopewell Church in Elverson. “The church posted it on its website calendar, and I also shared it on Facebook with friends and family,”

Karis explained. “My family knows a lot of veterans, so there were also personal invites.” She noted that about 30 to 40 people attended the dinner, which included the veterans and their families.

During the event, guests enjoyed

homemade lasagna. “I bought the food and made the food myself. We started the process at my house the night before by making the lasagna,” she explained. “Then we cooked them the day of (the dinner) at the church.” The dinner also included salad, rolls with butter and homemade brownies for dessert.

Also assisting with the dinner were Karis’ parents; members of Troop 543G; Karis’ brothers, Carsen and Canaan; and other members of Troop 543B, which

Poole Forge to present Water Week event

BY FRANCINE FULTON

As part of Lancaster Water Week, Historic Poole Forge will host “Experience the Upper Conestoga: Connecting With Our River,” a free family-friendly program, on Wednesday, June 12, from 5 to 8 p.m. The event, being presented by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF), will feature a program about raptors, fly fishing

information and water safety demonstrations along with free food and giveaways.

This is the second time that Poole Forge has hosted a Water Week event, which is presented annually by the Lancaster Conservancy. “The first was pre-COVID in 2019. We did a freshwater snorkeling demonstration,” said Dawn Ekdahl, Poole Forge executive director. “People were able to

Local students win Litter Hawk Youth Awards

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Several local students were first-place winners of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s Litter Hawk Youth Award program. A team of sixth-graders from Twin Valley Middle School (TVMS) - Dion Cooper, Serenity Foster, RJ Green and Royce Lane - created an anti-litter video, while fifth-grader Eleanor Mountz, who attends the Red School Learning Lab in Morgantown, won in the best essay category.

The program, funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, provides a way for students in kindergarten through grade six to express their concerns about litter by submitting artwork, an essay or a video. The theme was “Open Your Eyes to Litter - Show Us What You See.” Almost a thousand students participated in this year’s program.

In the award-winning video, the TVMS students show images of litter, a person throwing litter from a car window, plastic soda

This year, there will be exhibitors located around the pavilion, which will offer hands-on activities for visitors. “The Pennsylvania Rural Water Association will have their augmented reality sandbox. You pile sand, and it colors it based on elevation and you can see how water would flow,” Ekdahl said. “There will also be guided tours through the pollinator garden.”

At 6:30 p.m. on June 12, there will be a presentation in the main pavilion on the plan to restore the health of the Upper Conestoga River. It will be offered by Brian Gish, CBF Pennsylvania senior watershed planner.

Other activities will include a demonstration of electro-fishing by representatives from Millersville University. “Electro-fishing is when you add a mild electric shock in the water, and it stuns the fish momentarily and they float up and you identify the species of fish you have in the creek. It doesn’t hurt

the fish,” Ekdahl said, explaining that the variety of fish that can be found in a waterway is an indicator of its water quality.

Another indicator of good water quality is the presence of macroinvertebrates. “Stream or creek bugs are little organisms that live in the creek. The better the diversity and the presence of macroinvertebrates is a good indicator or how healthy the water is,” Ekdahl noted.

Other demonstrations will be provided by Stroud Water Research Center, which will present information about macroinvertebrates and local restoration efforts. CBF will have a rainfall simulator, and there will be a boating safety demonstration by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, among other exhibitors.

Raven Ridge Wildlife Center will present a program about raptor rehabilitation with live raptors. “They will talk about the importance of ‘getting the lead out’ - lead contamination

is Troop 543G’s brother troop. Karis’ friends who are not part of Scouting also helped out.

Karis said she was pleased with the turnout. “I thought it was good number. It was in some ways nice not to have (a lot) of people. It was nice to get a chance to interact with the veterans,” she stated. “The Scouts that were there got to sit down and talk with the veterans, and there was a sense of community and fellowship at the event.”

“There were a couple of older veterans, including one Vietnam veteran,” she added. “It was open to all eras, so I didn’t collect information on when they served, but (I did record) what branch they were in. I believe there was at least one (veteran) from every branch.”

Attendees were also invited to share their experiences and insights gained during their military service. “We had a time where they could share their stories essentially,” said Karis. “I had three signed up to (share), and after they spoke, we opened it up and we had two or three more (veterans) who shared.”

Each veteran was presented with a handmade thank you note made by the Scouts, and they were asked to stand up and be recognized.

Karis also arranged a display of information about local veterans’ groups. “We had different cards and pamphlets from organizations. There were also a few resources for the families of veterans - spouses and children,” she said. “It helped that my dad is a veteran, so he could give me advice.”

Drew retired from the military in 2014 and has founded a nonprofit, Fundamentals of Bible (FOB) Truth, which provides assistance to veterans and active-duty military members along with first responders. He

is also involved in the Twin Valley Mountain Biking Club. “The goal of FOB Truth is to provide support and community to veterans and others,” Karis said. More information about the group is available at www .facebook.com/FOBTruth.

Karis recently celebrated her Eagle Court of Honor ceremony at Hopewell Church along with friends, family members, veterans and Scouts from Troops 543G, 543B and 529 and Venturing Crew 22. At the event, led by Scoutmaster Virginia Thorpe, Karis presented a slideshow about her achievements in Scouting, noting that she joined Troop 543G in April 2021. She explained that the addition of segregated girls’ troops to Scouts BSA has allowed girls to earn the rank Eagle Scout, which is the highest rank attainable in Scouts BSA. Eagle Scouts are required to earn at least 21 merit badges, 14 of which are mandatory for the award. “I am the third girl in our troop to get Eagle Scout,” she noted.

Karis, 18, a 2023 Twin Valley High School graduate, is majoring in criminal justice at Liberty University in Virginia. Although she has “aged out” of Scouting, she plans to continue as an adult leader of the troop for the remainer of the year.

Ekdahl noted that Historic Poole Forge has spearheaded numerous environmental projects to improve the quality of the stream that runs through the historic site. “We started a group or initiative last year called the Upper Conestoga Steering Committee,” noted Ekdahl. “We had our first in-person meeting at Poole Forge last summer and we did a little event similar to Water Week.”

“Lancaster Water Week is a celebration of the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in Lancaster County, our sources of drinking water, irrigation for agriculture, fishing, swimming and paddling for recreation,” added Ekdahl. “Create habitat, protect the water and explore the outdoorsthese are the themes we embrace at Poole Forge with our continued efforts to improve the water quality in the Conestoga Creek and protect the banks and area adjacent in the park, planting riparian buffers, pollinator gardens, wildflower meadows and (adding) a nature trail so that the community can get out and appreciate the beauty of nature and wildlife.”

In 2024, Poole Forge won the Community Revitalization Award from the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County for its work in creek preservation and creating a nature habitat in a preserved historic district, improving the life of the neighborhood and community.

“Litter does not belong naturally in our environment. Litter is harmful because some litter is not biodegradable, which makes the litter harmful to our species,” the video states. “For example, when litter gets into the waterways, certain microplastics are harmful to people, animals and the environment. Every living creature is part of the ecosystem. When litter occurs, it compromises the food web.”

The video encourages people to pick up trash around their neighborhoods. “Everyone should be responsible for keeping our planet clean. … Throw out your trash into the right trash and recycle bins. Pick trash up from the road and on the ground,” the video advises. “Talk to your friends and family about why litter is harmful. Let everyone know

that that littering is against the law.”

In Eleanor’s essay, she tells the story of Emma, who witnesses a man toss trash from his car window. “Looking at him, Emma felt a surge of anger,” the essay states. “The man must open his eyes to the dangers of litter.”

The story continues as Emma purchases environmentally friendly trash bags and decides to pick up trash around her neighborhood. “A week later she hopped onto her bicycle and (pedals) around looking at the improvement,” the essay states. “The neighborhood looked amazing! Without litter around, the beautiful views were so much more beautiful. She knew it was just a start, but even one person caring today would make more people care tomorrow.”
