Hearts of church and school beat as one
Mascot Roller Mills, Ressler Family Home steeped in history
BY JEFF FALK
As Lancaster County’s history was evolving, dozens of water-powered, grain-grinding mills dotted the local landscape. Few are left standing, much less still operating, except for maybe one - Mascot Roller Mills.
That’s what makes Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home unique and so intriguing as an attraction. The historic site whisks visitors away
to a time 300 years ago when mills supported communities, provided a places for residents to gather and socialize and ground their crops into food.
“I really think we sometimes believe that where we are is created out of our own making,” said James Landis, executive director of the Ressler Mills Foundation, which owns and operates Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home. “There is wisdom in the past,

Is St. John Neumann a church or a school? It’s kind of like asking if Jesus Christ was a leader or a servant.
It’s difficult to decipher where one ends and the other one begins.
St. John Neumann is both a Catholic church and school. In a way, they are two separate entities functioning as one.
“They’re related to each other because the school is supported by the parish financially and through prayer,” said Fr. Dan Powell, the pastor of St. John Neumann Catholic Church and School. “They’re separate in the sense that the school draws students from other Catholic parishes and other religious backgrounds. This past year, 20% of the school’s budget came from the parish. People know their money is going to the school. It’s an investment in the future. We think that Catholic education
makes a difference in a child’s life and spiritual well-being.”
Located at 601 E. Delp Road, Lancaster, St. John Neumann Church is home to 2,600 families and 7,500 total parishioners. This school year, St. John Neumann School, which is named in honor of the Philadelphia bishop who founded the Catholic school system in the United States, will host 220 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade.
Since the former St. Anne’s Catholic School moved its operation to St. John Neumann four years ago, the school has witnessed steady growth, from 130 students in 2020-21 to 170 in 2021-22 to 200 in 2022-23 to 210 students last year.
St. John Neumann’s 2024-25 school year will begin Monday, Aug. 26.
“There are some people who are looking for better education opportunities for their children,” said Powell. “We have the ability

In Township, community pools are thriving
There was a time not that long ago when summers revolved around the community pool. It was a place to meet friends, hang out and simply play outside.
It’s a tradition that Manheim Township continues to honor.
“I think (the community pool is) a place for people to go, enjoy the warm weather and enjoy friendly faces,” said Alex Gordon, Manheim Township’s aquatic and recreation manager. “It’s a place for people to come and have fun.

Mascot Roller Mills
from pg 1
St. John Neumann, which falls under the auspices of the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, is one of six elementary and middle schools in Lancaster County that help populate Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS). Powell said that a majority - up to 98% - of St. John Neumann students continue their education at LCHS.

With classes that range in size from 15 to 25 students, St. John Neumann employs 25 full- and part-time teachers and aides, a cafeteria staff of three and one principal. The school offers varying forms of financial aid and tuition assistance.

“When you have a school at a church, it changes the entire dynamic,” said Powell, a 60-year-old native
“The goal is that no one is ever turned away,” said Powell. “But we all have a role to play.”
“I think the question is, ‘Are we open to experiencing history?’” continued Landis. “There has been history lost here. We’re surrounded by history that’s a mystery. I like to think about all the families who lived here.”
Because of St. John Neumann’s purposes in the community, there is a sense of duality to Powell’s role as well.
“My role is to guide the parish family and lead people closer to God,” said Powell. “My job is to lead the church from a spiritual point of view. It’s almost like being the CEO of a company. You’re overseeing everything and trying to know everything that is going on, but you’re also trusting people to help you.”

As far as Lancaster County attractions gofor both local and out-oftown history buffs - the site of Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home, located at 2280 Stumptown Road, Ronks, is somewhat of a hidden gem. The attraction offers a 30-minute guided tour of the mill and a 30-minute guided tour of the homestead where the mill’s three generations of operators lived. Both are free and open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., from May 1 to Oct. 26 this year.
The attraction is recognized as a National Historic Site.
“It was not unique in the day, and there are other mills in the county,” said Landis. “What’s unique about this mill is that the Ressler family, through wise investments, had the funds to set up a foundation.”
Situated on 40 acres at the intersection of Stumptown Road and Newport Road, the 1700sera Mascot Roller Mills and the Ressler Family Home are the only two of
“It’s people from all over the world, typically tourists, but some locals,” said Landis. “We’re hearing local folks say, ‘I drive by a lot, but I never visited.’ Engineers have a field day here. It’s teachers and parents and homeschoolers trying to give their kids a different experience.”
For many visitors, the highlight of the Mascot Roller Mills tour is when the large corn and wheat roller grinders are once again brought to life to produce corn meal and flour right before their very eyes.
“When we turn the machines on, it’s like, ‘Whoa!’” said Landis. “It just comes alive. This is not a static mill.”
The history of the Mascot Roller Mills dates back to the 1730s at a time when all the grains refined there were used for local consumption.
The Ressler family purchased the property in 1865 and operated the mills until 1977.
Tours of Mascot Roller Mills began in the 1980s. The Ressler Family Home was opened to visitors in 2007.

Variety show projects Leola community fun
BY JEFF FALK
Singers must sing. Teachers must teach. Players must play.
And performers must perform.
Lots of performing and entertaining will occur at the upcoming Fun in Leola Variety Show. It’s a community fundraiser whose proceeds will benefit the event’s host, community-driven Zion Lutheran Church.
Organizer and magician Tait Harbaugh, or Papa Tater, will serve as the master of ceremonies for the Fun in Leola Variety Show.
travel all over to perform. I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with. They all volunteered to help out.”
Township pools
We have families who are regulars, and our staff gets to know them. It creates a better atmosphere at the pool. We even have guests that we get to know. It’s people from all over the area that are coming to the pools.”
The Manheim Township Recreation and Park Planning Department owns and operates two outdoor pools: Overlook Park Pool, 301 Golf Drive, Lancaster, and Skyline Pool, 245 Eden Road, Lancaster. Between them, the pools offer lap swimming, play areas, slides, diving boards and even a zipline feature.
well-being. It’s a place for people to come and swim and engage. It’s a good place just to be healthy.”
“I think there’s always room for more programs,” he added. “The more we can share, the more people can enjoy these incredible facilities.”
Skyline and Overlook pools employ about 75 mostly seasonal workers - lifeguards, swim instructors and coaches.
“(Performing) is what I’m best at,” said Tait Harbaugh, who’s known as magician Papa Tater in the entertainment world and who’s the organizer and master of ceremonies for the event. “My true skills are in performing. (The event) is a double whammy; we’re entertaining people but we’re also helping the church. People will get to feel the warmth of the entertaining. It’s getting that feeling of helping the community through being a community. It’s always more fun to do things as a group.”
Presented by Papa Tater Magic and the Lancaster Juggling Club, the inaugural Fun in Leola Variety Show promises enjoyment for people of all ages. The family-friendly show will be performed on Saturday, Aug. 17, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, 18 Quarry Road, Leola.
Doors will open at 5 p.m., and the 90-minute show is free to attend. A freewill offering to benefit the church will be received at the door.
“In a single word, the atmosphere will be fun,” said Harbaugh. “(All the performers) who are coming, their goal is to provide fun. I’m hoping the people who are there are going to be amazed. Some of the things we do will involve audience interaction and stage illusion and will hopefully wow folks. The final trick will involve all of us.”
“We have some fun folks coming,” added Harbaugh. “They are people who
With Harbaugh introducing acts and filling in lulls in the action, performers scheduled to appear are creative juggler Nick Moosic, magician Justin Squared, magician Majik Andrew and magician Professor Phun. Audience members can expect to be engaged and on the edge of their seats.
Up to 200 people are expected to attend the fun community event.
“I have a blast performing for one person,” said Harbaugh. “The size of the crowd doesn’t matter. It would be nice to have a bunch of people to support the church, and hopefully we can make them laugh.”
“I try not to set (financial) goals. ... I’d rather be happy and surprised with what we make,” continued Harbaugh.
“At this point, supporting Zion is supporting the community because of all the things (the church does).”
Zion Lutheran conducts a free meal for the community every month, runs clothing and food drives for Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services and serves as an overflow homeless shelter during the colder months. In addition, the church sponsors the Leola Community Garden and conducts numerous fundraising and community events designed to engage and benefit its neighbors.
“(The show) is for the community to come and have some fun,” said Harbaugh. “When you’re trying to make the world a better place, it means a lot.”
For additional information about Zion Lutheran Church, go to www.zion leola.org.
Skyline opened on Memorial Day and closed for the season on Aug. 4. Overlook opened June 8 and will close on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2.
“Each pool is a little different,” said Gordon. “We have a lot of the same attractions, but each has different options. We have a lot of different events happening at these pools. We give patrons options to enjoy the pools. Typically, we’re pretty busy at both pools. I think there’s a lot of people taking advantage of reasonable prices.”
This season, the Manheim Township aquatics program sold 690 season passes across both facilities. Each pool also sells daily passes.
Additionally, Township’s aquatics program filled 354 spots in its swim lesson program and its master’s swim team program included 46 participants. The Overlook youth swim team, made up of 5- to 18-year-olds, featured 146 competitors. The Manheim Township aquatic program also sponsors a water polo club.
“It’s a chance for everyone to engage in a healthy activity,” said Gordon. “Being around community members is good for your mental
“The Recreation and Park Planning Department as a whole offers tons of programs,” said Gordon. “There’s a lot of things for residents to do. The pools continually fill that mission. We’re trying to provide something for everyone in the community.”
The Skyline Pool was purchased by Manheim Township in 1986. The township acquired the Overlook Community Campus in 1999, and the Overlook Park Pool was refurbished in 2008.
“It’s really just about finding more ways to engage everyone in the community,” said Gordon. “The question becomes, ‘How can we utilize this space to better serve the community?’ We want people to take advantage of these incredible opportunities. Not everyone has these opportunities. We want residents to take advantage of the community we’re building.”

Stewart receives award from American Lung Association
The American Lung Association recognized Lancaster resident Kevin Stewart as the recipient of the 2024 Hoyt E. Dearholt Distinguished Professional Service Award at a recent awards ceremony held in Chicago, Ill. The national award is the highest honor a staff member can receive from the organization and is presented annually to an employee who has made significant and lasting contributions throughout his or her Lung Association career.
Stewart currently serves as the national director of environmental health for advocacy and public policy at the American Lung Association and leads efforts on informing the public about air pollution, its health effects, its sources, and means of control. Since beginning his work with the American Lung Association in 1987, Stewart has grown professionally from his initial service in environmental and occupational health in the former one-county Lung Association affiliate in Lancaster County through posts at different levels to his current national position. Stewart is a voice for healthy air and its health effects for the Lung Association and has been instrumental in shaping the nationwide healthy air program.
Stewart works with many partners, including other public health and environmental organizations as well as federal agencies on policy and regulatory
issues, and on indoor and outdoor air quality projects for the organization. He is the Lung Association’s voice for its signature “State of the Air” report, released every April since 2000. The report draws public attention to air pollution, control challenges, and successes across the country.
As an advocate for healthy air, Stewart regularly represents the Lung Association with comments and testimony before federal, state, regional, and local agencies engaged in public policy on clean indoor and outdoor air and climate change. He has submitted formal comments or testimony on topics such as increasing protective National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter and ozone, updating greenhouse gas emission standards for light-duty vehicles, and limiting methane from the oil and gas industry. His expertise and advocacy efforts span a broad range of topics from indoor radon, outdoor wood boilers, antiidling measures, and school indoor air quality in Pennsylvania to national energy policy and improving the public’s right to know about environmental and public health threats.
Stewart joined the Lung Association at the time when radon was first recognized as an environmental hazard in people’s homesa discovery that was made in eastern Pennsylvania; additionally, radon was

soon shown to be found in his hometown of Lancaster. Stewart was an early proponent for increasing radon awareness, testing, and mitigation in homes and schools and has been instrumental in helping to reduce the public health threat of radioactive radon gas. He has been an integral part of the multi-agency team that developed the U.S. National Radon Action Plan and serves on the Lung Association’s staff team overseeing it. For decades, he has managed statewide grant-funded programs to reduce indoor radon. He currently serves on the board of directors of
the Indoor Environments Association, the AARST Consortium on National Radon Standards’ Executive Stakeholder Committee, and Standing Committees for Radon Measurement and New Construction.
Stewart, an alumnus of Lancaster Catholic High School, holds a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering from Princeton University. He resides with his wife, Rose.
