Compass Mark aims to stop addiction before it starts
BY JEFF FALK
Compass Mark wants to be an ideological lightning rod and a guiding light in the community. The nonprofit approaches its mission through three guiding principles - “follow the science,” “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and “the sooner the better.”
The ultimate goal is to manage and curb addiction or control the
behavioral part of it that can be controlled.
“Compass Mark can help you get to where you want to go in life; we can keep you on the right path,” said Teri Miller-Landon, Compass Mark’s director of programs. “There’s so much science out there on what leads kids to addiction. We’re not preaching abstinence. We’re trying to delay use as much as possible. We’re teaching them to make other
choices and to connect with people in healthy ways.”
Headquartered at 1891 Santa Barbara Drive, Suite 104, Lancaster, Compass Mark attempts to reach children in kindergarten through grade 12 before alcohol, drugs and gambling do. It drives its message home through workshops, skill-building, student assistance programs and good old-fashioned communication and interaction.

The people have spoken. If the residents of Manheim Township want pickleball, then it is pickleball that they shall have.
Manheim Township is nearing the completion of its first dedicated pickleball facility. Not only will the project formally introduce one of the country’s fastest-growing sports to the
locale, it will represent Manheim Township’s continuing mission to provide its residents with the best in services and amenities.
“From public input, the (Manheim Township) commissioners prioritized it,” said Andy Bowman, Manheim Township’s assistant manager for the past three years. “(Pickleball) is very popular and so it became, ‘Why don’t we have it here?’ It’s pretty

Featuring seven exercises you can complete in seven minutes, a new Fitness Court has opened in East Donegal Township. The court, created by National Fitness Campaign, is one of just 500 such spaces in the country and the only one in Lancaster County.
“For years, we’ve been looking at trying to develop something like this,” said Scott Kingsboro, assistant township manager, adding that he originally
considered installing a traditional fitness trail with various exercise stations along a path. When he discovered National Fitness Campaign and its allin-one court, he was intrigued. He soon learned the company, which has a mission to change health outcomes in America, provided grant funding to help support the cost of the court.
The Fitness Court is located at Lloyd H. Fuhrman Memorial Park, 190 Rock Point Road, Marietta. It is open to anyone age 14 and up, and it features

Compass Mark
Last school year, Compass Mark connected with 8,000 kids in 66 schools from 28 school districts in Lancaster, Lebanon and Chester counties.
“Before I came here, I didn’t know what prevention was,” said Tim Steffen, director of development and communications at Compass Mark. “We want to make clear how prevention works. We’re actually saving lives. For every dollar spent on prevention, you’re saving $18 in the future. You’re saving taxpayers by nipping it in the bud.”
Some of the factors that put kids at risk for addiction include low commitment toward school, parental attitudes favorable toward antisocial behavior, low perceived risk of drug use and low neighborhood attachment.
“For kids 13 or younger who use any kind of substance, they have a 70% chance to develop an addiction in seven years,” said Miller-Landon. “We use data to know what’s going on in our community. It’s things we need to target as we design our programs. It’s much, much easier to prevent bad habits from
starting than to try and change them. That’s much of the thinking. Sometimes substance abuse can lead to contact with the criminal justice system and a criminal record.”
Overseen by a board of directors, Compass Mark employs 20 full-time workers and about 20 part-time staff members, all trained to deliver the curriculum.
“A lot of people are skeptical about prevention,” said Miller-Landon. “But prevention works. It’s about talking to kids often and talking to kids early. When kids are younger, they’re sponges. They just soak it in. They’re at an age when they still think (adults) know what they’re talking about.”
Compass Mark was founded in 1966 as the National Council for Alcoholism, Lancaster County. Then the organization’s scope was broadened in the 1970s and ’80s to include a focus on preventing illegal drug use, and later gambling.
“We’ve evolved with the community,” said Steffen.

Free classes, self-care tips posted
In celebration of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Self-Care Day, Wednesday, July 24, the Holistic Center for Health and Wellbeing will offer all its classes free to the community on July 24. The center is located at 1170 Erbs Quarry Road, Lititz.
International Self-Care Day encourages people to prioritize self-care, and it is celebrated on July 24 to symbolize that self-care can be practiced 24/7.
The Holistic Center for Health and Wellbeing noted that taking care of oneself allows a person to better care for family members and to be more effective in the workplace and the community.
As part of self-care, the center encourages community members to engage in regular physical activity. The center notes that physical activity can help to reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety, and it can help
with thinking, learning, and making judgements.
People are also advised to eat a healthier diet, staying away from processed food and fast food. Quitting or cutting down on alcohol and tobacco are also encouraged.
Taking care of one’s mental health is also important to overall health and well-being. People can boost their mental health by following a healthy lifestyle, spending time in nature, talking to family members and friends, getting a good night’s sleep, managing stress, limiting high-risk situations, limiting screen and media time, and focusing on the positives.
For more information, contact Denyse Kling at 717-951-0444 or holis ticctr4healthandwell being@gmail.com. Information about the Holistic Center for Health and Wellbeing is available at www.holisticcenterfor healthandwellbeing.org.
Users scan a QR code, displayed on a wall of the court, to learn how to use the equipment.
“I truly think this piece of equipment is for anyone from age 14 to 99, because they can customize it or modify it to their comfort level,” Kingsboro said. A push-up station, for example, features tips for beginners (“Apprentice”) to experts (“Savage”).
Residents are invited to attend an opening-day launch event on Tuesday, Aug. 6, at 3 p.m. to try the Fitness Court and learn about upcoming community wellness events and programming.
East Donegal Township is working with GEARS in Elizabethtown, which will provide “ambassadors” to promote the court and demonstrate how to use the equipment.
Mike Brubaker, a township supervisor, said he’s excited to see the court put to use. He recommends that people stop by the site and scan the QR code and then go home to review the exercises before tackling the equipment. “That’s just what I would do, but people can come here, scan the code and start their
He thinks the Fitness Court will be a nice addition to a park that already includes tennis and pickleball courts as well as walking and running paths.
“We think it’s important to provide healthy options of things for people to do,” Brubaker said. “Not everyone can afford a monthly subscription to a health club. This is free and outdoors. It just provides another thing for people in our community to do that’s healthy.”
While the grant covered some of the cost of the Fitness Court, the township is looking for businesses, organizations or individuals who would like to become sponsors of the court. For more information, contact East Donegal Township at 717-426-3167.
After the launch event on Aug. 6, Susquehanna Regional Police Department will host National Night Out activities from 6 to 9 p.m. at the park. The free event will include music, games and food, along with opportunities to meet and interact with local police officers, firefighters and other first responders.
Tips for staying cool and preventing illness
As the summer season officially beings, the Lancaster County Office of Aging has offered tips to beat the heat.
People are advised to wear loose-fitting clothing and stay somewhere with air conditioning. They should avoid hot foods and heavy meals. It is also important to stay hydrated, but people should avoid drinking alcohol or liquids with large amounts of sugar. When going outside, people should use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. A cool shower or bath can be rejuvenating when temperatures are high.
It is important to stay informed and learn how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat-related illnesses. Exposure to high temperatures, particularly when humidity is high and people perform strenuous physical activity, can cause three heat-related illnesses. Heat cramps is the mildest, followed by heat exhaustion, which happens when the body overheats. Without prompt treatment, this condition can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening
condition.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion may start suddenly or progress over time, especially with prolonged periods of exercise. The symptoms can include cool, moist skin with goosebumps when in the heat; heavy sweating; faintness; dizziness; fatigue; weak, rapid pulse; low blood pressure upon standing; muscle cramps; nausea; and headache. If a person believes he or she has heat exhaustion, the person should stop all activity and move to a cooler place to rest. The person should drink cool water or sports drinks, and if symptoms worsen or do not improve within one hour, he or she should consult a doctor.
Anyone who is with someone who has heat exhaustion should seek immediate medical help if the person becomes confused or distressed, loses consciousness, or is unable to drink. If the person’s core body temperature reaches 104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, the person needs immediate cooling and urgent medical attention.

Rotary Club of Lititz’s altruistic spirit manifests itself in craft show
BY JEFF FALK
Service Above Self. Not only does the local chapter embrace Rotary International’s motto, it epitomizes it.
The annual Lawrence J. Ruggiano Craft Show is merely a creative way for the Rotary Club of Lititz to live the motto. Because actions tend to speak louder than words.
“It’s a service to the community,” said Tom Oehme, Rotary Club of Lititz’s president and the chairman of the upcoming craft show. “All the funds we raise go back to the community. We’re using the money for the community, and not just Lititz, but Warwick Township as well.”

Parking will be made available at Warwick High School, 301 W. Orange St., Lititz; Bonfield Elementary School, 101 N. Oak St.; and Linden Hall School for Girls, 212 E. Main St., Lititz.
“There are quite a few craft shows in Lancaster County,” said Oehme. “Ours is probably the largest.”
More than 40,000 people are expected to attend the craft show. “You’ve got tons and tons of people roaming the streets of Lititz,” said Oehme.

This year’s version of the Rotary Club of Lititz’s Lawrence J. Ruggiano Craft Show - named for one of the show’s founding members - will be staged on Saturday, Aug. 10, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the closed streets of the downtown’s business district. The craft show venue will encompass 10 square blocks of Lititz, on Broad Street between Orange and Front streets and on Main Street from Broad Street to Locust Street.

Those people will be shopping and perusing the wares of 425 craftspeople spread out over 500 spaces. One of the largest craft shows on the East Coast, the event has had vendors who originate from Lititz, other areas of Lancaster County and as far away as Maine, Florida and Canada.
Crafts are unique items constructed from other materials in creative ways. Vendors are encouraged to demonstrate their works.
“(Crafts) are generally made by hand,” said Oehme. “It’s the unique things that sell the best. (The craftspeople) have better imaginations than I do. One lady who has a stand does dry flowers, arrangements
Officials of the craft show are hoping to make $70,000 from the show. Those proceeds will be divided and donated to more than 30 local nonprofit and civic organizations, including four fire companies, the Warwick Ambulance Association, the Lititz Warwick Community Chest, the Lititz Public Library, the Lititz Historical Foundation, the Lititz recCenter and Lititz Springs Park.
The proceeds are also used to fund college loans and scholarships for local students.
The Rotary Club of Lititz was founded in 1925 by 25 original members. The craft show was started in 1979, and the early shows
Beef Summer Field Day planned
The Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association will host the annual Beef Summer Field Day on Saturday, Aug. 10, at Wen-Crest Farms, 549
Schaeffer Road, Lebanon, to help beef producers learn more about their industry. Arrival and registration will run from 8 to 8:30 a.m., and the last seminar will begin at 1 p.m.
The field day will begin with a presentation by Ron Gill, professor and extension livestock specialist from Texas A&M University. Gill, who will speak on “Stockmanship and Stewardship,” has won multiple awards in the beef industry education sector and specializes in low-stress livestock handling.
Next on the docket will be Derrell Peele from Oklahoma State University, who will give the presentation “Cattle Markets and Outlook.” An agricultural economics professor and extension specialist for livestock marketing, Peele works in all areas of livestock production economics and marketing for all beef cattle production sec-
tors. Additionally, he works in the area of international cattle and beef trade and has particular expertise in the Mexican cattle and beef industry.
Several beef-related organizations will give updates at lunch, including a Washington, D.C., update from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA).
After lunch, Dr. Mitch Blanding, director of beef technical services with Zoetis, will discuss “Managing Cattle Health in High Markets.” A native of Kansas,
included just local vendors. Currently, the Rotary Club of Lititz includes 28 members. Throughout its history, the local chapter has donated over $1.25 million to local nonprofits and helped more than 500 students attend college.
“I want people to know who we are and what we’re about,” said Oehme. “Rotary (International) itself has almost conquered polio throughout the world. People don’t know what polio is anymore. Our club helps the international organization, and we support the local community the best we can. Our motto, ‘Service Above Self,’ sort of explains itself.”
For additional information on the Rotary Club of Lititz, go to www.lititz rotary.com.
Blanding holds a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and a Master of Science in ruminant nutrition/physiology. Before joining Zoetis in 2003, he spent 10 years as a beef and equine practitioner in central Missouri and eastern Kansas.
The Beef Summer Field Day is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association with support from the PA Beef Producers Working Group and NCBA. To make reservations, email pca@pacattlemen.org or call 717-825-9824.

Nine students earn German scholarships
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Members of the Lancaster Liederkranz seek to highlight German culture and heritage. One of the ways they fulfill this goal is through distribution of German language and German cultural scholarship awards. This year, nine local students earned awards.
Six students won $1,000 German language scholarships. Danica Guydish, a Donegal High School graduate who will be attending Ursinus College, is the recipient of the Monica Fasnacht Honorary Scholarship. Manheim Central graduate Kalyssa McAdams, who will attend Temple University, is the recipient of the Helga Barisits Honorary Scholarship.
Ethan Frick, a Hempfield High School graduate who plans to attend Lebanon Valley College, earned the Milan Kratzer Honorary Scholarship. Additional $1,000 scholarships were awarded to Chase Barrick, a Hempfield High School graduate who will attend Lehigh University; Sean O’Brien, a Manheim
Township High School graduate who will attend Ohio State University; and Kayla Reidenbaugh, an Ephrata High School graduate who plans to attend York College of Pennsylvania.
Three students earned $1,000 German cultural scholarships. They are Mia Corradino, a Manheim Township High School graduate who will attend the University of Rhode Island; Aidan Fredericks, a Penn Manor High School graduate who plans to attend Penn State University; and Avery Zodet, a Hempfield High School graduate who will attend St. Joseph’s University.
To be considered for a scholarship, students submit applications and are interviewed in German and English, said Judy Zodet, committee chair of the cultural grant and scholarship fund.
“The students excelled in their language skills and great interest in Germany and German culture,” she shared. Several of the winners have actively participated in Lancaster Liederkranz activities, including competing in Germany

much going to be a premier facility for pickleball. It’s been designed well, and it’s being constructed well. We want to get it right.”
Construction on Manheim Township’s $655,000 pickleball project began in early May. The project is on schedule, and the pickleball courts are expected to be ready for play in late September. Finishing touches to the project will be applied in 2025.
When completed, the 10-acre facility at 2240 Basset Drive, Lancaster, located on the northwest corner of the Overlook Community Park campus, will feature eight pickleball courts, six 40-foot-high light standards, parking and access to drinking water.
“Recreation and physical activity have become real cultural things,” said Bowman. “Exercise and mental health have been part of our cultural conversation. I’m adamant about
with dance groups.
“It is important to the members of the Lancaster Liederkranz to preserve the language and promote German culture,” Judy said. “What better way than through our children and grandchildren, some whose grandparents and great-grandparents were immigrants?”
Money for scholarships is raised by the cultural grant committee, she said, with fundraising activities including Christmas cookie and Easter candy sales.
“The scholarship is just one thing our grant fund does,” Judy said. “We have programs for younger children, including art classes and a day camp story hour. Students in the dance groups can get assistance with their clothing.” Grant funds also help pay for a weekly German camp for children held throughout the month of July.
Additionally, the culture committee gives students money to help them participate in the German American Partnership Program (GAPP) or similar programs to visit Germany.

getting outside and being active. I think it should be part of everyone’s healthy lifestyle.”
In Manheim Township, there are currently a handful of dual-purpose tennis courts lined for pickleball and a few private pickleball courts. Manheim Township even hosts indoor pickleball at Overlook, but the new outdoor pickleball facility will be the first of its kind in the locale.
“Pickleball has exploded nationally and exploded regionally over the last couple of years,” said Bowman. “It’s basically a large version of pingpong.
It’s played on a smaller court and doesn’t require the physical demands of tennis and racquetball.
It’s strategic. It spans generations. You can meet people of all ages playing pickleball.”
Some of the costs related to the pickleball project were paid for by a $250,000 grant from
the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and National Resources, an amount that was matched by Manheim Township.
“We wanted to have it integrated into our park system,” said Bowman. “They will be heavily used, just because of the way they’re being built and the size of the facility. Sort of like, ‘If you build it, they will come.’ Some avid pickleball players don’t think eight courts is enough. With these eight courts, we want to find out if eight courts is enough. We’re trying to understand.”
Manheim Township is home to 45,000 residents and hundreds of acres of park land located in 13 distinct facilities.
“I love it here. I’m raising a family here,” said Bowman. “(Family members) have used these facilities; they’ve used these parks. I love championing our township and the offerings we have here.
We’re making a difference for as many township residents as possible. We’re trying to be stewards of the community. Obviously, recreation is important.”
