Taking a look at the life of a state senator
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALDIf you walk into any school in Pennsylvania, you’ll likely find at least one class in which students are learning about the government, including the state government. Nearly every student in the United States has an opportunity to learn about his or her respective state capitol and the legislation process that occurs within it. Various state politicians, such as Sen. Scott Martin, offer students a real-life look at what happens behind the scenes via interactive educational programs at the Capitol.
On April 4, groups of high-schoolers from across Pennsylvania State Senate District 13 traveled to Harrisburg for Martin’s Senator for a Day program. The program invites juniors and seniors to learn about state senators’ legislative duties from the senators themselves, and it takes place in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Upon students’ arrival, Martin gave a presentation to
introduce the program and to provide an overview of the senatorial process. After the presentation, visitors entered the room
This year, seven Penn Manor High School (PMHS) students were among those who traveled to the Capitol for the program.
“When the kids go in and actually participate in something very close to the real process, they get a real look at what government does on a
daily basis and how it impacts their families and communities.”
where representatives hold their legislative meetings. The students were then divided into various committees and given bills to review before holding a mock session, during which members of the Senate acted as lobbyists and worked with the kids.
Upperclassmen Grant Rost, Ethan Addy, Akriti Neupane, Gilian Moss, Viviana Arnold, Molly Bushong and Emily Mummert participated in Senator for a Day with PMHS teachers Matt Rayha and Jeremy Kirchner. During the mock legislative session, the students discussed their respective committee’s topics and wrote amendments as they sought to pass a bill. Each committee assigned one of its members the task of presenting a bill on the Senate floor.
“When we give lessons on government in the classroom, we get to explain to kids what their representatives are doing,” said Rayha, who teaches social studies at PMHS. “But when the kids go in and actually participate in something very close to the real process, they get a real look at what government does on a daily basis and how it impacts their families

Samaritan Center is expanding its counseling services. It’s a move intended to provide more hope for a healthier, happier and better-adjusted community.
“We know that counseling works, that it improves lives,” said Steve Schedler, executive director of Samaritan Center.
“For many, it’s a game-changer. What people come in with is very diverse, but there are some common threads. Counseling can give people a different way of thinking and navigating emotions and how they handle relationships. There are also these positive examples of people growing.”
At the beginning of April, Samaritan Center opened a new counseling space at 33 N. Market St., Lancaster, to augment the mission started at its main location at 1803 Oregon Pike, Lancaster. In
The cemetery at Conestoga United Methodist Church, located at 71 Sand Hill Road, is one of many graveyards that dot the landscape of Lancaster County. After decades - and often centuries - most of these burial grounds bear little information on those laid to rest within them. Among these sites was Conestoga United Methodist Church’s cemetery until recently, thanks to local Girl Scout Miranda Martin.
In April, Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania (GSHPA) recognized Martin for a service
project she completed at the cemetery last summer. Martin’s project entailed the installation of a flagpole and a memorial plaque at the cemetery to honor more than 100 veterans buried there, earning her the esteemed Girl Scout Gold Award. Working with church leadership and a local flag shop, Martin dedicated more than 80 hours of work to coordinate the project and to overcome challenges such as landscaping issues. A flag-raising ceremony was held upon the project’s completion in September 2023 before Martin moved to Philadelphia to attend Drexel University.

MU police chief to receive award
Domestic Violence Services (DVS), a program of the Community Action Partnership (CAP), has announced the 2024 recipient of the DVS Catalyst for Change Award, Millersville University Police Chief Peter Anders.
Anders is a member of the Lancaster County STOPSART Coordinating Team, which works to enhance the partnership between county law enforcement, prosecution, and victims’ services. Currently, Anders is the president of the Lancaster County Chiefs of Police Association. Anders has been police chief for Millers-
ville University since 2010.
The Catalyst for Change Award, established in 2019, recognizes individuals or organizations that have made significant contributions to the mission of DVS, beyond the requirements of professional work, to be a catalyst to end domestic violence in Lancaster County through direct service, advocacy, or social change efforts.
Anders will be recognized at the inaugural DVS Spring Luncheon on Thursday, May 23, at the Cork Factory Hotel, 480 New Holland Ave., Lancaster. The event will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and will feature keynote speaker Beverly Gooden, an award-winning writer and activist, and the creator of the viral social media movement #WhyIStayed. Her debut memoir, “Surviving: Why We Stay & How We Leave Abusive Relationships,” was published in June 2022.
The luncheon event is intended to bring community members together to shine a light on intimate partner violence as a community health issue as well as to educate participants on how awareness and advocacy can create true change for the more than 1,800 survivors DVS serves annually through its emergency shelter, transitional housing, 24/7 hotline and text line, counseling, legal advocacy and representation, and children’s programming.

This is the second consecutive year PMHS has participated in Senator for a Day. When selecting participants for the field trip, Rayha and Kirchner typically choose students who have taken Advanced Placement government courses and have an interest in pursuing a career in politics. Before the mock session, students may choose which topic and committee they are most interested in learning about. “The last two years have been really successful, and we’ve gotten a lot
of positive feedback,” said Rayha. “We hope to keep doing it every year.”

ASPIE artists featured at open house
ASPIE held an open house in December 2023, and at the event, nearly $3,000 in donations was received for artwork from 10 ASPIE artists whose mediums ranged from wood craft to jewelry to paintings to photographic canvases.
ASPIE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating supplemental income for adult artisans with disabilities. The organization helps the artisans generate income through donations for their original artwork through www. aspiesartists.com and its Lancaster gallery.
At the December open house, ASPIE board member Phil Whitebloom of Maryland was fascinated by artworks by Steven Georges and Kate Manners, both of whom have cerebral palsy.
Georges learned how to weld years ago and made adaptive equipment like grab bars and custom furniture to aid him at his home in Mount Joy. He now also sculpts metal art from recycled steel. His pieces are primarily inspired by animal and plant life but also include wine bottle racks, classic car part
lamps, furniture, replicas of heavy machinery such as tractors and bulldozers, spacecraft replicas, and garden ornaments.
Manners primarily creates acrylic pour paintings on canvas. Her longtime interest in art stemmed from family members such as her grandmother, who was an artist and art teacher, and was encouraged by her elementary school art teacher and the robust art program in her school district. When her day program was shut down during the pandemic, she started exploring crafting and painting with the help of her parents, with whom she lives in Lancaster. By 2021, she discovered the pour painting technique, which now dominates her work.
Whitebloom enjoyed both Georges’ and Manners’ artworks displayed at the open house so much that he decided to commission artwork for himself. He asked Georges to create a junk-metal sculpture of a telescope and gave the artist pictures of his own solar telescope for reference. He commissioned Manners to create a pour painting of the sun based on any creative mix of pigments and design.
The requests reflected Whitebloom’s interest in astronomy, specifically solar astronomy. After receiving the finished artworks, he displayed them at the annual Winter Star Party in Big Pine Key, Fla. ASPIE will host open houses on Saturdays, May 18 and 25, and Sundays,
May 19 and 26, at its gallery, 1905 Barton Drive, Lancaster. Artworks by a dozen people will be available to view and to purchase by donation. The gallery may also be visited at other times by appointment; to learn more, call ASPIE president Jerry Buckwalter at 207-412-8090.
Samaritan Center
addition to increasing the nonprofit’s coverage area, the downtown office will allow Samaritan Center to reach more people and provide more mental health services.
“We’re very aware of the gap between demand and the availability of counseling,” said Schedler. “We’re involved in that conversation. The good news is that we’ve seen a turn in people’s willingness to get help since COVID. Who doesn’t need to talk to somebody? Now we’re seeing the response to that. We saw a record demand over the last four years. Progress is being made, but it will take years to level back out.”
Housed on the fourth floor of a historic building near Lancaster Central Market, Samaritan Center North Market features five new counseling offices. Samaritan Center, which is operated by 41 employees, 25 of whom are full-time or part-time therapists, has added five new counselors.
“It’s everyone in the community, from all walks of life,” said Schedler of Samaritan Center’s counseling clientele. “We’ve seen all ages reach out. It could be older adults; some of our counselors work with children and teens, families, couples, individuals. There really are no groups of folks not reaching out. We have in-person and virtual capabilities, so we can work with anyone in Pennsylvania. But the bulk of our clients seen in-house are Lancaster County residents.”
In 2023, Samaritan Center provided more than 14,000 counseling sessions. With the addition of North Market, Samaritan Center now has the capability to provide an additional 6,000 sessions.
“Samaritan Center does many things in the community, and counseling is just one of them,” said Schedler. “We just reached a point where we were out of space. We wanted
to come up with a way to serve more people, and we’re excited about being in the city for the first time. Our goal is to provide improved mental health to everyone. Samaritan Center’s mission is to be as accessible as possible to meet people’s needs for counseling services, and now we’re more accessible than ever.”
Samaritan Center was established in 1987 by a group from Highland Presbyterian Church, 500 E. Roseville Road, Lancaster, interested in providing accredited, faith-based counseling.
CASA welcomes new advocates
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lancaster and Lebanon Counties celebrated the swearing in of nine new
court-appointed special advocates on May 1. CASA staff members, board members, and community supporters gathered in the Imperial Blue Room of the Holiday Inn Lancaster to watch as the Honorable Leonard G. Brown III swore in the new class of volunteers. The Honorable Shawn P. McLaughlin was also in attendance. The event was the culmination of more than 30 hours of training completed by each volunteer in order to assist children in Lancaster County’s foster care system.

Over the last 37 years, the services Samaritan Center provides have changed to meet the evolving needs of the community.
“It was really a leap of faith to jump out and start a new counseling center,” said Schedler. “Over time, Samaritan Center has established itself by providing high-quality counseling services. Mostly through word of mouth, many lives have been changed. We’ve had a legacy of growing thoughtfully.”

Martin first conceived the idea for her project after she had a conversation with members of Conestoga United Methodist Church, where her troop holds its regular meetings. Martin was still searching for a project that would serve the community and enable her to earn the Gold Award, and she began meeting with the church’s pastor and groundskeeper to explore their suggestions.
“The graves had little posts where a local Boy Scout troop would place flags on Veterans Day, but otherwise there was nothing to signify them,” Martin said, noting that she understands the value of recognizing veterans. “A bunch of my relatives
have served in the military, and even my friend is now serving in the Marines, so it’s really important to me.”
After sorting out the requisite clearances, the church’s board members approved the project, and Martin purchased a flagpole for the graveyard. Initially, Martin also planned to install seating for people visiting the cemetery, but the original location’s steep incline forced her to adjust the plan. “It was a huge complication in the middle of the project, and we had to move the entire thing to a new location,” said Martin. “It ended up working out beautifully, but we couldn’t install
everything in the first plan.” Martin added that the new location was unsuited for a bench due to obstacles that would have required a larger excavation project. The new space is now home to a commemorative plaque that acknowledges the veterans from various wars who are buried in the cemetery.
Martin has been a member of GSHPA for over a decade, and she credits the Girl Scouts with giving her valuable volunteer experiences and a sense of connection to her community. “When I do visit, it’s really rewarding to see the flag and the impact I was able to make in my community through Girl Scouts,” she said.

Nursing students take part in simulation
Saint Joseph’s University in Lancaster, formerly Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences, held an abuse training simulation on April 2.
Featuring actors who portrayed medical patients, the scenario required students to conduct a home health assessment of an older couple. During the assessment, the students witnessed an abusive scenario in which the couple’s granddaughter, also their financial power of
attorney, took advantage of them financially. Students were tasked with taking care of the elderly couple’s physical health as well as recognizing the abuse and switching gears to address it sympathetically.
The simulation was intended to teach students empathy and advocacy and to demonstrate that being a health care professional entails wearing many different hats and implies taking care of the whole individual.
