Members of LCHS marching band grow as people
BY JEFF FALK
One of the benefits of extracurricular activities is the opportunity for personal growth. Within the Lancaster Catholic marching band, that goal is paramount.
“We focus on being a person and working super hard,” said Kate Pekarik, who’s in her second season as the Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) marching band’s director.
This year’s version of the LCHS marching band, the 30th edition in school history, is made up of 52 student members - 12 seniors, 12 juniors, eight sophomores, nine freshmen and 11 seventh- and eighth-graders. The Crusaders are fronted by senior student director Margaret Bila, senior assistant student director John Martin, sophomore brass
section leader Oliver Parrish, junior woodwind section leader
Samuel Parrish, senior percussion section leader Lain Weitzel, sophomore front ensemble section leader Helen Olmsted, junior color guard section leader Nicoletta Kiefer and senior feature twirler Alixandria Maumus.
The Crusaders work hard, support each other and continually seek to get better.
“This group of students is the most dedicated group I’ve ever seen,” said Pekarik. “They’ve gone through very hard times and only come out stronger and more compassionate. They’re dedicated to their friends in the band.”
“We don’t compete anymore; we’re not trying to win a title,” said Margaret. “Our goal is to develop each other as musicians, put on a good show and represent our school.”

Beyond making services available to veterans, the Lancaster Vet Center (LVC) has a desire to make sure those benefits are being used. LVC wants to serve veterans in much the same way that veterans served others.
“Some veterans will say, ‘Why me? Why do I deserve this?’’’ said Phil Grant, who’s been LVC’s director since February of 2022.
“The reason is because your service qualified you for these services. There’s no fee. There’s no cost. The eligibility doesn’t expire. They earned it through their time in the military.”
“Our motto is ‘Connection, Camaraderie, Community,’” continued Grant. “We want to live up to that. When you come here, you’ll be able to connect with your vet community and build that camaraderie. That’s what

It may indeed take a village to raise a child. But it takes fellowship to financially care for the elderly.
Over the 52 years of its existence, Landis Homes’ Fellowship Days has forged an inspiring tradition revolving around community, aiding residents and friendship. For six days in mid-September, the community will come together to renew that tradition and create new meaningful memories.
Members of the Lancaster Catholic marching band rehearse in preparation for the 2024 fall season.

Veteran center
we’re striving for.”
Located at 1817 Olde Homestead Lane, Lancaster, the LVC serves United States military veterans through one-on-one counseling, group therapy, veteran events and outreach programs. A branch of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and affiliated with the Lebanon Veterans Affairs Hospital, LVC also works with other outside organizations to resolve any difficulty a veteran might encounter.
“We are here to help veterans and their families readjust to life after their experience in the military,” said Grant. “It’s a lot of moving pieces. We want to help the community know who we are and what we do. We work with veterans for very specific treatment plans. We maintain relationships in the community to get them a higher echelon of care if that’s necessary.”
For
LVC serves between 80 and 100 veterans from Lancaster, Lebanon and Berks counties each month. According to a 2021 census, those counties are home to a total of 26,351 veterans.
“We have vets who have been in combat,” said Grant. “We have some vets who are out of active duty and just want to connect with the community. Some have PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Some are just trying to successfully transition from the military and move on. It’s a wide swatch.”
“Once veterans know we exist, some will determine it’s not something they really need, and they’ll spread the word,” added Grant. “These benefits exist because people use them. If they weren’t used the funding would disappear. No one is taking a service away from someone else. Some vets don’t need the services. Some are good
right now and can come back if they need to.”
One of 12 veterans’ centers in the state, LVC was established in 2010. As a whole, the veterans’ center program was established in 1979 and now operates 300 branches nationwide.
“We want to give veterans a place where they can come so they can live their best lives, not just for themselves but also for their families,” Grant said. “It’s not just for them; it’s also
for everyone in their circle.
For the veteran community in general, it’s sometimes hard to come to the table and trust that systems are going to do what they say they are going to do. Where we could do a better job is pounding the streets, getting the word out and showing the veteran community they can trust us.”

BOH, cars are vehicles to transport its mission
BY JEFF FALK
Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. | PO Box 500, Mount Joy, PA 17552 TOWNLIVELY.COM
It’s broadening horizons. It’s seeking to reach more people. It’s attempting to do a greater good.
Blessings of Hope (BOH) is expanding its mission.
The local nonprofit’s upcoming car show represents the next step in BOH’s continuing evolution. Because it believes what it does is important, BOH seeks to share its purpose with everyone it can reach.
“We’re here to serve the community,” said Darek Raguza, who’s been BOH’s director of development since October of 2023. “We’re doing events to get people educated and energized about the mission. We want to make connections and spread the word about what we do.”
BOH will conduct its inaugural car show on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Stormers’ stadium, 650 N. Prince St., Lancaster. The day’s festivities will begin with vehicle registration at 9 a.m., and prizes will be awarded at 2 p.m.
The event is open to the public, and no fee will be charged for admission.
“This event is a funraiser as well as a fundraiser,” said Raguza. “An event like this has a very energetic atmosphere. People will be checking out the cars, and you can see the smiles on the owners’ faces when people take pictures and ask questions. For the owners, these classic cars are like their babies. They put a lot of money into keeping these cars in pristine condition. They’re their pride and joys. But beyond the impressive car display, the true highlight of the day will be the spirit of community and generosity.”
More than 20 vehicles, everything from vintage muscle cars to sleek, modern sports cars - even a 1924 Model T - are expected to be on hand. Prizes will be awarded in a number of categories, including farthest driven to reach the show, best paint job and most likely to get pulled over by law enforcement.
Organizers of BOH’s car show are hoping to raise $5,000. All proceeds from the event will go to the organization’s Outreach Support Fund Partnership
program, which empowers ministries to serve underprivileged communities by providing nutritious packed food.
“Overall, the goal is to address food discrepancies in our community and educate people about how they can help through donations and volunteering,” said Raguza. “Through special events, we’re trying to reach individuals who aren’t familiar with the mission of Blessings of Hope.”
BOH, which seeks to use excess food to battle hunger, operates facilities and warehouses in Leola, East Petersburg, the city of Lancaster and Campbellsville, Ky. The local nonprofit also introduced its inaugural golf outing
at Foxchase Golf Club in May - its fifth such annual community outreach event - which raised $15,000 for its mission.
“There’s a growing need,” said Raguza. “There’s so much food being wasted and thrown away. It’s all good, fresh products that stores can’t accept but we can. We distribute to those in need. Everyone thinks we’re a food bank, but we’re a logistics hub. We’re able to receive large shipments of food products, and we break them down into smaller portions. We work with other ministries and food banks.”

Fellowship
“It’s an opportunity for folks to sit down with their friends and relatives,” said Janice Nikoloff, who’s been Landis Homes Retirement Community’s advancement events specialist for four years. “People are also running into people they haven’t seen in a while or meeting new people. We have 900 residents here, so not everybody knows everybody else. We’re bringing activities and fun things to our campus. But what’s behind everything is the Caring Fund.”
Landis Homes will conduct its annual Fellowship Days from Monday, Sept. 9, to Saturday, Sept. 14, at the retirement community’s campus, 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lititz. There will be games, food and kids’ activities throughout the week, and everyone - residents, families, team members, community members and friends - is invited to attend the free event.
Fellowship Days will be highlighted by a chicken barbecue, a crafters’ fair and an action-packed live auction of 46 handmade quilts.
“We have an auctioneer,
and (the quilt auction is) very exciting,” said Nikoloff. “We explain about the quilts, their history and the work that goes into them. It’s very skilled work. You couldn’t put a price tag on them for the hours spent on them. They’re wonderful pieces of art.”
Landis Homes’ Fellowship Days will begin with an online auction on Monday; items can be viewed and bid on at www.landisfellow shipday.org. Festivities on Tuesday, Sept. 10, will feature an Olympics-themed parade fronted by the Manheim Township High School band’s drumline, and an ice cream social will highlight the event on Wednesday, Sept. 11. Thursday, Sept. 12, will include a pancake breakfast in the morning and a talent show in the afternoon, and Friday, Sept. 13, has been designated as Harvest Day. Saturday will be the day for the live quilt auction and the chicken barbecue, as well as displays and presentations.
“There are a lot of highlights,” said Nikoloff. “We try to make it exciting.”
All the proceeds from
Presentation to focus on architect
St. Matthew Lutheran Church, 700 Pleasure Road, Lancaster, will host a presentation on Monday, Sept. 9, from 6 to 7 p.m.
Gregory J. Scott, co-founder of RLPS Architects in Lancaster, will discuss the making of his first book, profiling Lancaster’s most prolific architect.
The more-than-200-page, hard-bound book, “Urban Legend: The Life and Legacy of C. Emlen Urban,” is a never-before-told story of Urban and 25 of the architectural masterpieces that continue to define the city of Lancaster.
Urban launched his architectural career 140 years ago, shaping nearly every significant structure in Lancaster city from 1885 to 1935. With only a high school education, Urban eventually completed more than 645 commissions across six states and earned the distinction of being personally referred to as “my architect” by Milton S. Hershey.
With photos and stories about the people behind
Fellowship Days will go toward Landis Homes Retirement Community’s Caring Fund, which is used for residents whose costs of care have exceeded their resources. This year, Landis Homes is financially supporting 46 residents who have run out of finances.
“(The negative balance is) millions of dollars, and we raise a portion of that,” said Nikoloff. “It’s truly residents outliving their resources. A lot of it is their health has declined in a way they couldn’t have anticipated. We’re never going to ask anyone to leave. Some people have been here for
20 years.”
Landis Homes Retirement Community was founded in 1964 to give returning Mennonite missionaries a place to live.
“It has kept going, and we keep adding homes and cottages on campus,” said Nikoloff. “The mission is to stay true to the Mennonite thinking and traditions. Our efforts here are to make sure there’s a high quality of life for everyone. But it’s also about fun, not just health care. It’s very personal here.”

Urban’s commissions, “Urban Legend” offers a look at the man who transitioned Lancaster city from the era of 18th-century Colonial architecture to the era of worldly sophistication, including Beaux Arts, Italian Renaissance and French Baroque.
“Urban Legend” was created as a collaborative endeavor and produced entirely by Lancaster-based talent.
Scott is also the author of the “Design Intervention” column. He is also the two-time recipient of the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County’s Journalist and Education Award.
The program is free and open to the public as part of St. Matthew’s Conversation Around the Corner speaker series. The aim of the series is to unite the community by exploring diverse subjects and fostering learning and connection.

recROC’s Boulder Bash competitors will be climbing the walls
BY JEFF FALK
Uniqueness is part of recROC’s character and charm. It’s that same uniqueness that allows recROC, a satellite facility of the Lititz recCenter, to stage special events like Boulder Bash.
More an event than a fundraiser, Boulder Bash’s primary goal is to cater to the rock-climbing community and to introduce others to the activity. The event also addresses recROC and the Lititz recCenter’s broader mission of getting people moving and keeping them moving.
“This is an event we’re excited to spend our time and energy on,” said Corey Pickel, Lititz recCenter’s associate executive director. “It’s time for the boulder community to shine. Bouldering may attract people who aren’t
necessarily attracted to organized sports. This is a community event, and participants have the support of everyone around them.”
Located at 201 Rock Lititz Blvd., Suite 10, Lititz, recROC will conduct this year’s Boulder Bash at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14. Prizes will be awarded in four categories: advanced, intermediate, novice and youth.
Climbing competitors can register online at www.lititzrecroc.com or in person on the day of the event.
Spectators are welcome to attend, and an admission fee will be charged.
“For our area, it’s definitely a unique event because there aren’t many bouldering facilities here,” said Pickel. “For Lititz and central Pennsylvania in general, it’s fairly unique.
This is something to offer the boulder community.”
“We try to get everyone involved,” Pickel continued. “There’s a lot of cheering going on. We turn the music up louder and have fun. But we try to make it a great community event. Everyone can feel involved, even if you’re a first-timer.”
Boulder Bash climbing competitors are charged with the task of scaling a 15-foot-high indoor boulder wall. For 60 minutes, points are awarded for the difficulty of the climbs.
“Even though you’re competing against other people, you’re also competing against yourself,” said Pickel. “It’s about how many routes a competitor can accomplish in an hour. It requires mental endurance and strength endurance. It’s like climbing a puzzle on a wall and
putting moves together. It’s really fun to watch. It’s not a cut-throat competition. Even though people are competing, everyone is supportive. We want to make sure that everyone at any level can come in and have a good experience.”
Nearly 100 competitors and more than 150 spectators are expected to attend the event. The athletes and their support people come from Lititz, other parts of Lancaster County, Reading, Philadelphia and even Maryland.
“The key to success is training at your craft and getting your hands conditioned,” said Pickel. “It’s about prioritizing your craft and spending time on the wall. It takes a lot of core strength, flexibility and finger strength. You need all of those to hang on to those holds.”
Throughout the year,
Church sets concert, plein air event
First Reformed Church, 40 E. Orange St., Lancaster, will continue its “Organic Reflections” concert series with The Lighter Side from Living Composers” on First Friday, Sept. 6, at 8 p.m. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m.
Guest organist Ken Krause will play the Hill Byrne Christiansen Memorial Organ, presenting music by living composers. Selections will
include “Procession” by Russell Schulz-Widmar and “Grand Choeur in d-Minor” by Paul Fey. Admission is free. For more information, call the church office at 717-397-5149. Additionally, Art in the Garden, a free plein air event, will be held in the courtyard of First Reformed Church on Sept. 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. During the event, the public is invited to stroll through
the gardens and watch local artists at work or shop for works of art.
Visitors should enter via the courtyard from Orange Street to the left of the church or from Christian Street to the rear of the church.
First Reformed Church is a diverse congregation with a continuing commitment to engaging downtown residents and guests, including serving more than 16,000 free
meals each year for those facing food insecurity. Art in the Garden is one way the church shares its urban garden with the community while supporting local artists.
Local artists are invited to join by contacting Theresa Rettig at 717-6822240. Artists should bring their paints, brushes, easels, table or pottery equipment and work on a piece or display work for sale.
recROC and the Lititz recCenter also conduct special events like a golf outing at Iron Valley Golf Club in May, a triathlon in August, the Pretzel Twist 5K in September and the youth triathlon in October.
“When Rock Lititz was building their campus, they liked the idea of a gym facility, and they wanted something different,” said
Pickel of recROC’s 2017 origin. “There was an interest from the live-events community, and it was an opportunity to introduce something different to the Lititz community. It’s turned into a great training facility.”

Book now available at local libraries
The book “How to Become a Strong Person and Build a Good Life” by James Wegert is now available at the Manheim Township, Mountville and Quarryville libraries.
Using his more than 25 years of experience working with youths, Wegert wrote the book in a down-to-earth, encouraging manner to help high school students and young adults develop the tools, such as character, attitude, responsibility, effort and self-control, that they need in order to be more successful academically, personally and socially. The book also explains to readers how to use the aforementioned five tools to build a good life through respect for their jobs, others and themselves by dealing with negative people in a positive
way and by making good choices. For young people, their job is to be a student.
The book contains 70 true short stories, including humorous and serious stories, to illustrate the main points. About 15 of the stories have been placed in a special section because they are appropriate for people age 15 and up. The book can also be used by parents and grandparents as they teach their children and grandchildren how to become strong people.

The LCHS marching band opened its 2024 campaign on Aug. 23 with a performance at the Crusaders’ home football game against Camp Hill. It was one of 10 shows that the Crusaders will perform at football games this year.
In addition, LCHS will perform at four marching band showcases this season: Saturday, Sept. 21, at Lampeter-Strasburg; Thursday, Oct. 10, at its own LCHS Home Showcase; Saturday, Oct. 19, at Ephrata; and Saturday, Oct. 26, at McCaskey. The band will celebrate the conclusion of the campaign with an in-house breakfast and Mass on Oct. 26.
The LCHS marching band’s eight-minute, three-part field show is titled “Eve,” after the Old Testament first woman who defied God’s command and committed the original sin. The show incorporates elements of pop music and traditional hymns.
“We don’t have to do a Catholic theme,” said Pekarik. “But because these students are so faith-based, we wanted to incorporate religious things into the show. Our practices have focused on making a clean show for the performances. We hope the kids realize how important (practice) is, just having pride in making it perfect. I think they really enjoy the camaraderie that comes from the rehearsals.”
“I think band is the closest thing to being a second family,” said Pekarik. “These kids are together for years. We want them to learn discipline. We want them to be early, to be on time. We want them to make themselves better, not just for themselves but for the entire band. It’s building a lot of good character. I want them to feel that their parts matter.”
Historical society posts luncheon

In this non-political presentation, which Castner has now shared with more than 600 people at various gatherings, Castner will discuss what she learned
about immigration firsthand during a May 2022 immersion trip to the southern border of the United States. She will recount the visits she and her group had with local organizations, churches, and individuals who work in El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, to provide humanitarian aid to refugees who are fleeing violence, poverty, and climate devastation in their home countries. The presentation will feature a slideshow and video clips.
