Manheim Township

Education celebration

MTHS sends Class of 2024 off in style

BY JEFF FALK

Education is a journey highlighted by progress and growth and development. For many, the formal scholastic process begins around kindergarten and ends in high school.

But graduation doesn’t mark the end of the educational journey; it only celebrates a milestone. Because during those formative scholastic years when we learn how to learn, we learn that learning never ends.

On June 6 at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster, Manheim Township High School (MTHS) celebrated the 2024 edition of its annual graduation ceremonies. The educational milestones of an all-time high 471 students were recognized.

“I think the main reason commencement is so important is that our graduates deserve time dedicated just to them to celebrate all their hard work over the last 13 years,” said Tara Newhouse, an assistant principal at MTHS. “It also serves as a way for families to be there and celebrate and for faculty and administrators to see their students cross the finish line.”

“It was phenomenal,”

continued Newhouse. “It went so incredibly smooth, and it was filled with positivity. The timing went really well. It was beautiful.”

In front of a packed house, members of MTHS’ Class of 2024 processed through a line of applauding, high-fiving teachers to their seats near the front of the stage. Following the playing of the national anthem and the MTHS alma mater, a welcoming message from prinicipal David Rilatt, and musical performances by the student ensemble The Troubadours and the MTHS band, the students and members of their support staff in attendance listened to addresses from seniors Ansa Khan, Clara North and Hadassah Innocent.

The audience heard from superintendent Robin Felty, and Rilatt gave his principal’s speech before the achievement awards were presented.

At that point, each of the 471 members of the Class of 2024 had his or her name read and received a diploma from a member of Manheim Township’s school board. After a short message from MTHS assistant principal Lisa Lyons, the ceremony was turned over to class president Suraj Parikh, who instructed his

classmates to “turn their tassels.”

The new graduates then turned and faced their families and friends, as well as members of the community.

“It was chaotic and overwhelming in the most positive way,” said Newhouse of the ceremony. “There was so much going on. Everyone was there for a positive reason. There were smiles; there was a buzz. Everyone was there for a bigger purpose, which makes it special for the kids.”

“The diversity we have within our Class of 2024 makes it special,” added Newhouse. “We have so many talented kids. We have so many kids who were involved in things. They were incredibly patient. They were accepting. They were kind.”

In the morning hours on that graduation Thursday, members of MTHS’ Class of 2024 were addressed by a group of distinguished alumni.

“Some of our graduates are already set up in career fields,”

Is 150 years a long time? In human terms, yes. In God’s realm, well, maybe not so much.

But either way it’s reason to celebrate.

Sure, it’s hearty. Sure, it’s delicious. Sure, it’s a great way to start a day.

But for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), it’s a vehicle, a means to an end, a propellor to take flight.

EAA Chapter 540, which is hangared at Smoketown Airport, is hosting another one of its popular breakfasts. Not only are the breakfasts fundraisers, but they’re also the association’s

only money makers, which make them vitally important to the organization’s cause.

“We want people to come join us for breakfast,” said Doug McGinnis, president of EAA Chapter 540. “The breakfast is primarily a fundraiser, but it could also be seen as a way to get the community aware of our activities. We want people to be aware of who we are. A lot of people are interested in aviation but aren’t aware of our chapter. We also engage our

Ross to end 38-year ministry at St. Peter’s

St. Peter’s Lutheran Church will bid farewell to its minister of 38 years, pastor Craig Ross, on Sunday, June 30. The church invites community members to join in celebrating Craig’s ministry during a unified worship service at 9:30 a.m., with a luncheon to follow.

Craig is a native of North Babylon, N.Y., and graduated from Furman University in Greenville, S.C., before attending the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg. His relationship with St. Peter’s began in 1981 when he served as an intern.

He was called to serve as assistant pastor in 1986 and as senior pastor in 1994. Craig is known for his ability to provide calm spiritual leadership for a large congregation; St. Peter’s membership currently stands at 485 households. During his ministry, he performed 693 baptisms

and more than 250 weddings. He guided more than 20 interns.

Craig is also known for his capacity to connect with the young and young-atheart. Youth ministry was a passion he shared with his wife, Nancy, and their children, Jesse and Justin. They led youth retreats ranging from beach to woodland settings and hosted caroling parties where Nancy made pigs in a blanket for 70 to 80 youth group members at the Rosses’ home. Craig regularly wrote child-friendly dramas for Christmas Eve services, which for many years featured a two-person camel costume created by Nancy. During the pandemic, parking lot Christmas and Easter services included interaction via car horns, headlights, and windshield wipers. Craig often based sermons on children’s literature authors Cynthia Ryland and Walter Wan -

gerin. And, to the delight of Sunday school and vacation Bible school children, he shared the Gospel message through the use of his own puppet characters: Greenie the Alligator, Bacon the Pig, and Nibbler the Mouse.

During Craig’s tenure, St. Peter’s Lutheran Church embarked on a number of new ministries. Most notable is their partnership with companion congregation Busoka Lutheran Church in Tan -

BIA announces Parade of Homes

Sponsored by Fulton Bank and UGI Utilities and presented by BIA, the Lancaster/Lebanon Parade of Homes is a free public event that opens new homes for in-person and virtual tours. This year’s parade features

22 single-family homes, duplexes and remodeling projects from 13 different builders, ranging in price from $499,999 to over $1 million. Participants may visit 19 of the 22 homes in person and/or all the homes virtually utilizing 3D technology, providing a room-by-room view of each home’s innovative designs and details.

Detailed information on all of the home entries is available at www.lancaster paradeofhomes.com.

The ParadeSmart app is an additional feature that provides home details, directions and customizable routes. After downloading

the app from their app store, users should select the BIA Parade of Homes.

The Parade of Homes Guidebooks with the same information is available at the BIA office, 204 Butler Ave., Lancaster, and copies of the book were mailed to more than 100,000 Lancaster and Lebanon County households.

The 2024 Parade of Homes showcases more than $17 million in new home construction and remodeling in Lancaster and Lebanon counties, incorporating the latest in design, decorating and trends, including smart home technology. This

St. Peter’s is located at 10 Delp Road, Lancaster. For more information, visit www.stpeterslutheran.org or call 717-569-9211.

praying, enhancing lives and saving souls.

“This is a church that always made sure people had food on their tables and welcomed back veterans who served their country,” said Jason Perkowski, OCUMC’s pastor for the last eight years. “We make space for people of all backgrounds. We’re a church that serves today in a modern context. One hundred and fifty years represents all of that, and we’re still growing, adapting and learning while holding onto the things that matter.”

In honor of its milestone, OCUMC is throwing a wingding of a party, and you’re invited to attend free of charge.

All of it will go down on Saturday, June 22, from 2 to 6 p.m. on the grounds of OCUMC’s quaint chapel at 1214 Creek Road, Lititz. After all the fun,

games and fellowship, OCUMC will conduct an inside worship service at 6 p.m., followed by a dessert reception in its fellowship hall.

“Our church is vibrant and alive, and our congregation loves God, loves each other and loves their neighbors,” said Perkowski. “They are prepared for their ministry for decades ahead. Everyone is welcome to come and be part of the story. We want people to come as they are. Everyone is welcome to come and be loved.

There are so many people in Lancaster County who are looking for a place to belong.”

The 150th anniversary celebration of OCUMC will feature live music, food, drinks, yard games like cornhole and washers, giveaways and a bounce house. Between 200 and 300 people are expected

to attend.

“Our dream is that that day people are going to come and spend time meeting their neighbors,” said Perkowski. “I’m hoping people are going to be laughing and telling stories. I’m hoping there will be the noise of games and children and memories. In the sanctuary during the service, hopefully there will be sounds of singing and celebrating that God is good.”

“Too often we get focused on day-to-day struggles,” he continued. “There is a lot of good, a lot of joy, a lot of blessings. We, as humans, need to take time to celebrate those gifts. God continues to meet our needs and bring joy to our lives.”

In 1874, the modest church was built as a place of worship for the residents of the village of Oregon. Over the last cen -

tury and a half, Manheim Township has grown up around it.

Some 14 years after its founding, OCUMC became affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Today, OCUMC includes a congregation of 50 worshipers, a weekly Sunday service, adult Bible study and a youth ministry.

“If you think about 150 years, that’s … five generations of people being raised in that church,” said Perkowski. “There’s life in this space. The congregation is made up of good, salt-of-the-earth people who are welcoming. That’s been the story of Oregon Community Church. People feel loved and accepted. That’s the heartbeat of this church.”

islands; wood beam-cased openings at the foyer; matte black appliances; interior and exterior statement lighting; and hardwood staircases with open stringers and high-contrast metal stair railings.

The homes were judged by a panel of building and industry experts, with awards presented at the annual Parade of Homes Gala on June 14. Homes were classified into divisions by price and judged with other homes in the same price division using a numerical scoring system, with awards for Best of Show, Kitchen, Bath, Interior Design, Exterior and

Decorated. The top-scoring single-family and duplex homes each receive the Fulton Bank Award. Winners will be announced on the aforementioned Parade of Homes website.

French toast

youth to become part of our program.”

EAA Chapter 540’s Amish-style French toast all-you-can-eat breakfast will be served on Saturday, June 22, from 8 to 11 a.m. at Smoketown Airport, 311 Airport Drive, Smoketown. Including the scrumptious headliner, the breakfast will also feature pancakes, eggs, sausage, potatoes, orange juice and coffee.

“We don’t have a huge budget,” said McGinnis. “We probably need $3,000 or $4,000 a year to stay afloat. All the funds are used for chapter operations, things like hangar rental, buying parts for the restoration project, our scholarship work. We’d like to get into additional projects.”

Typically, 150 to 200 people show up for the breakfasts, a total which could realize about $1,800 for EAA Chapter 540.

“Our mission is for likeminded people to learn about aviation, how to build airplanes and aviation safety,” said McGinnis, who’s been a licensed pilot for two years. “It’s to bring aviation enthusiasts together and to enjoy aviation activities. You don’t have to be a pilot to join, but we do have pilots in the organization.”

Based in Oshkosh, Wis., EAA is a national organization whose mission is to promote aviation, airplanes and everything flight related. The Smoketown chapter consists of 50 members.

“We come from all walks of life, doctors, blue-collar workers, retired people, young people,” said McGinnis.

“The common thread is a passion for aviation. It’s a pretty broad cross-section brought together by our interest and a desire to learn. We want to learn from what other people have done. We want to be a community.”

In addition to its fundraising efforts and

scholarship work, EAA sponsors a Young Eagles program designed to get youths interested in aviation. It is also currently working on the complete restoration of a 1947 Aeronca Chief four-seater plane.

“Building an airplane is a massive undertaking,” said McGinnis. “It was donated by a member, and we disassembled it to the bare bones. We’re now putting it back together. We’ve been working on it for about a year and a half, and we probably have another year to complete it.”

The Smoketown chapter of EAA has been in existence for about 10 years now.

“When a plane is taking off down the runway, we all go look at it,” said McGinnis of the EAA membership. “There’s something about an airplane taking flight and leaving the ground. What you see when you’re flying is just amazing. You’re separated from the ground.”

Rotary Club posts Wheels & Wings Festival and 5K

The Rotary Club of Lancaster will hold its seventh annual Wheels & Wings Festival and 5K on Saturday, June 22, rain or shine at the Lancaster Airport, located on Airport Road in Lititz. The event is the Rotary Club of Lancaster’s main annual fundraiser, and proceeds will benefit the Summer Youth Experience grants.

Funded in partnership with the United Way of Lancaster, Wheels & Wings supports nonprofits that serve more than 2,600 city youths ages 5 to 16. The four programs that will benefit this year are Scaling Walls a Note at a Time (SWAN) music programs, Advantage Lancaster mentoring programs, Brightside Opportunity STEM programs, and The Mix Summer STEM and Ecol -

ogy Camp. Representatives for each of these programs will be on-site at Wheels & Wings and will select a People’s Choice award winner in the car show.

The event will begin with the 5K race, sponsored by Penn State Health, at 7:30 a.m. rain or shine. The lightly traveled race route is entirely on the roads of the 5K host sponsor, Brethren Village. Medals will be awarded for the top three male and female finishers in six age categories with registered participants receiving a race T-shirt.

A Pre-Show Coffee Cruise will depart at 7:30 a.m., offering a self-guided cruise designed by Michael Rowen of Michael’s Motor Cars.

The “everything on wheels” car show, open to cars, motorcycles, and trucks, and sponsored

by Boyd Wilson, will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Trophies will be awarded, as well as numerous door prizes.

Due to runway construction, there will not be a fly-in this year, but there will still be helicopter rides and, new to the festival, tethered hot air balloon rides. Abella Aviation will provide the helicopter rides, and Susquehanna Valley Balloon Company will provide the hot air balloon rides; these activities will have a fee. All rides will be purchased day-of and are subject to the weather. A special feature will be a Huey helicopter from the Vietnam War, presented by and for veterans of that conflict. Liberty Warbirds will provide a free static display of a Huey 823.

The Wheels & Wings

Festival will also feature food trucks, Big Dog Craft Brewing, music by Baker Event Company, and giveaway drawings.

For kids, there will be an inflatable bounce house and slide, as well as a Toucha-Truck. Children may sit in and play on Skippy, the airport’s static plane.

The event is free, and no registration is required for spectators. There is a fee for on-site parking.

To register for the 5K, car show, or cruise, search for “Rotary Club of Lancaster Wheels and Wings Festival & 5K” at www.event brite.com.
