The 52nd annual Millersville Turkey Trot will take place on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 28. The holiday event will be held at Biemesderfer Stadium, 45 Pucillo Drive, Millersville, and registration will be available on the day of the race. Advance registration is available at www.millersvilleturkeytrot .com until Wednesday, Nov. 27.
The Turkey Trot will kick off with kids’ fun runs at 8:40 a.m., which will include a 100-meter dash, a quarter-mile race and a half-mile run. Parents and legal guardians are invited to participate in the races alongside their children. Registration for the children’s races is free, and registrants will have the option of purchasing a T-shirt when they sign up.
A 5K race will begin at 9 a.m., and competitive runners, casual walkers and everyone in between are invited to participate. Registration may be completed for a fee, and it will include an entry in various prize drawings that will take place after the race. Prizes will include items that have been donated by local businesses such as gift cards to restaurants and tickets to experiences and events in the community. Recipients must be present to receive their prizes after the race.
“Some people dress up for the race, and it’s really about having fun.”
Several small changes have been made to this year’s event to better accommodate participants. The start and finish lines will be slightly adjusted to space them out more efficiently. Participants will also be arranged to place faster, competitive runners at the front and walkers in the back of the group. In previous years, walkers lined up

Crafting success: IU13 bazaar will showcase student talents
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
For the past few weeks, a group of budding entrepreneurs at Marticville Middle School has been putting its creativity and teamwork to the test.
Students in Elizabeth Ortega’s autism support classroom have embraced the role of small business owners, preparing for their debut at the Lancaster-Lebanon
Intermediate Unit 13’s Holiday
Student Bazaar. Operating under the name The Spectrum Studio, these young creators have crafted a collection of oneof-a-kind handmade keychains and vibrant tie-dyed T-shirts, all ready for sale at the event on Thursday, Dec. 5. The bazaar will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the IU13 Conference and Training Center, 1020 New Holland Ave., Lancaster. Several of the seven students

Supporting first responders, one beard at a time
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Every November, many Americans say goodbye to their boyfriends’ and husbands’ cleanshaven faces while men take part in the nationwide No Shave November movement. The annual tradition involves ditching the razor for one month, and it has been observed by men in the United States for over a decade. For many participants, the month is simply an excuse to try growing that Tom Selleck-inspired mustache they’ve always wanted
Beards for Brothers pg 8
Young runners participated in the kids’ fun run during the 2023 Turkey Trot.
In 2019, Beards for Brothers began to support A Week Away Foundation through its annual No Shave November fundraiser.
in the class are nonverbal, but they use pictures and communication devices to share their enthusiasm for their projects. Pointing to the beaded keychains, Zayvion Jones showed off his favorites, while Nesha Hopstetter said she loves making keychains from silicone beads and shrinky dinks.
As they string the beads and color the keychains, they are doing much more than just making crafts.
“There are so many good skills they learn from this,” Ortega said. “They learn to handle the money, work on the budgeting and prepare all the items.”
Participating in the bazaar is the perfect fit for student Cole Hartman, who was hard at work making a SpongeBob SquarePants design. He’s been practicing his favorite school subject in preparation for helping to run the business. “I like to do math,” he said. “It’s fun.”
Ortega’s students will be among hundreds throughout Lancaster County who will offer their homemade items for sale at the bazaar.
“We have well over 300 participants and approximately 40 mini businesses,” said Doreen Unton, coordinator of job training services for the IU13, who noted that a similar event is held in November in Leba-
non County. “We set up the Conference and Training Center using the perimeter of the room and three rectangle groups so that customers can walk around easily to see merchandise. … It is usually loud and busy but happy!”
The bazaar began after the IU13 established a grant program to support teachers in setting up classroom mini businesses, she said.
“The primary goal of a mini business is to teach students job skills, social awareness and work ethics in a practical, class-based setting,” Unton explained. “By managing a classroom business, teachers can provide direct instruction on work responsibilities, specific job skills, production processes, quality standards and employability skills. … Running a mini business offers students valuable insights into business operations and entrepreneurship. Each experience, including facing low sales, becomes a learning opportunity.”
Unton noted that the bazaar is a win-win for both shoppers and students.
“As a customer, from the moment you walk into the building on the day of the bazaar, there is an energy and buzz of excitement,” she shared. “Students are smiling and telling you all
about the craft they made, and shoppers are happy to browse for treasures. The events have also become a reunion of sort for past students and staff. People are hugging, laughing and engaging with the students. It’s a wonderful atmosphere, and I guarantee that visitors will leave the event with a smile, full heart and lots of goodies!”
For the students and staff, the event represents the culmination of their hard work. “Now they get
to set up their display of crafts and sell them to customers,” Unton said. “They get to practice social skills, sales skills, math and so much more. And they get to do a little shopping at the other vendors.”
Sales from the mini businesses directly benefit the classroom, with funds used for student incentives, donations to charitable causes or even unique initiatives such as a class sponsorship of an Alaskan Iditarod dog race team.

New program aims to improve work zone safety
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) have launched a new, statewide training program to improve new driver safety and roadway worker protection. The launch took place at Carlisle High School to highlight teen driver safety during National Teen Driver Safety Week.
Pennsylvania’s New Driver Work Zone Safety Program is a training project that uses videos, infographics, knowledge checks, and testimonials to teach new drivers work zone laws, signage, and key facts, in addition to offering real-life scenarios to enhance understanding. The new program launched during National Teen Driver Safety Week in October; this annual observance aims to provide education on safe driving to teens and all new drivers in the commonwealth.
The free, 35-minute virtual New Driver Work Zone Safety Program is currently available in English and Spanish. The transportation agencies will also collaborate on hands-on training opportunities to supplement the course.
Last October, Oklahoma became the first state in the nation to require new drivers to pass a work zone
safety course to get their licenses. After hearing about Oklahoma’s program, the PA Turnpike developed a plan to introduce a similar initiative and has been working with PennDOT to make it a reality. The project was funded through $50,000 from the Federal Highway Administration’s State Transportation Innovation Council Incentive Program.
While the program is free and encouraged for all Pennsylvania residents, it is especially geared for new drivers.
Key factors in crashes involving teen drivers in Pennsylvania include driver inexperience, driver distractions, driving too fast for conditions, and improper or careless turning. The risk of a crash
involving any of these factors can be reduced through practice, limiting the number of passengers riding with a teen driver, obeying all rules of the road, and using common sense.
The joint training project extends PennDOT and the PA Turnpike’s collaboration on increased work zone safety awareness. Both organizations host work zone-related educational events throughout the year. In March, PennDOT and the PA Turnpike, in partnership with the Pennsylvania State Police, started enforcement of the statewide Work Zone Speed Safety Camera program, which uses vehicle-mounted systems and electronic speed timing devices to detect and record
motorists exceeding posted work zone speed limits by 11 miles per hour or more. For more information on the New Driver Work Zone Safety Program, visit https://tinyurl.com/ NewDriverWorkZone.

first, making it difficult for faster racers to progress. Additionally, runners will not be allowed to bring their dogs to this year’s Turkey Trot due to recent issues with pets’ leashes becoming tangled and dogs becoming too excited around other animals. This year’s race will also have portable toilets stationed at the stadium for the first time.
“We have a lot of people who like to walk or run before heading off to Thanksgiving dinner,” said Tom Ecker, organizer of the Millersville Turkey Trot. “Some people dress up for the race, and it’s really about having fun.”
The first Millersville Turkey Trot was held on the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving in 1973. The event featured a 10-mile run on Route 999, and it quickly became popular due to the national interest in cross-country at the time. A runner from the United States had recently won the Olympic marathon, inspiring more than 1,000 runners to participate in the first Turkey Trot. Prior to the Turkey Trot, local runners often traveled to other cities and states to compete in long-distance races. The national interest in long races gradually declined in the ‘70s, prompting the Turkey
Trot to change its 10-mile run to a 5K race. Although fewer people attended the event, the Turkey Trot continued to take place every year. In 2012, the day of the race was moved to Thanksgiving morning, and the yearly tradition began to grow in popularity. Over the last decade, more than 2,000 runners have participated in the event each year.
About 10 years ago, the Turkey Trot’s organizers decided to turn the race into a benefit event to support local nonprofits. This year, attendees are encouraged to bring nonperishable goods to support Loft Community Partnership’s food bank in Millersville. “We decided it fits with the Thanksgiving theme and it’s important to the community, so we wanted to embrace that opportunity,” Ecker said.

Auditions set for Outpour Teens Choir
The Outpour Kids program is entering its fifth year, and many students who have graduated from the program have discovered a passion for becoming worship leaders in their respective churches.

Outpour is now scheduling auditions for the 2025 winter session. This ministry offers worship education and vocal training to more than 100 singers, ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade, with both auditioned and non-auditioned options.
Students in grades six through eight who are interested in joining the auditioned choir, Outpour Teens, should request a 15-minute audition slot by completing the form at www.outpourkids.com. Auditions are scheduled for the following dates and times: Sunday, Dec. 1, 1 to 3 p.m.; Monday, Dec. 2, 4 to 6 p.m.; and Wednesday, Dec. 4, 4 to 6 p.m.

Katie holds degrees in music and has extensive experience working with young voices. Matt, an eighth-grade science teacher at Martin Meylin Middle School for 28 years, brings science object lessons to life during rehearsal devotions, connecting them to Bible stories.
Katie and Matt’s daughter, Audrey Wieand, an 11th-grade student at Lampeter-Strasburg High School, is a graduate of Outpour Kids and now serves on both the adult and youth worship teams.

Lancaster Chorale concert to feature Christyan Seay
The Lancaster Chorale will present a program titled “Psalms, Hymns, and Spirituals” featuring the renowned African American tenor Christyan Seay of Harrisburg. The concerts will take place on Saturday, Nov. 23, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 24, at 3 p.m.
Christmas Craft Bazaar
Quarryville
955 Robert Fulton Highway (Rt. 222 South - Across From Solanco High School)
Under the direction of Bruce Gerlach, the Lancaster Chorale has grown to more than 100 members. To accommodate more singers, the chorale will perform for the first time in Gardner Theatre on the campus of Lancaster Country Day School, 725 Hamilton Road, Lancaster. A freewill offering will be received.
Local composer and pianist Dan Wolgemuth will accompany Seay for his solo rendition of the spiritual “Lord, I Want to Be a Christian.”¬† The chorale will also perform Wolgemuth’s setting of the hymn “Fairest Lord Jesus.” The group’s longtime pianist and organist, Jan Stauffer, will accompany the chorale for much of the program.
Traditional African American spirituals on the program include ”Soon Ah Will Be Done”; “Ain’t Got Time to Die”; ”Elijah Rock,” arranged by Moses Hogan; and the Jester Hairston
versions of “Hold On!” and “Amen.”
In addition, the hymns and psalms that Gerlach has chosen for the concerts include Schubert’s “The Omnipotence,” “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need,” “Brother James’s Air,” ”At the Round Earth’s Imagined Corners,” “I Will Not Leave You Comfortless,” “Pilgrim’s Hymn,” “The Eyes of All Wait Upon Thee” and “The Awakening.”
Seay has performed extensively throughout central Pennsylvania and abroad, including with the Harrisburg and Lancaster symphonies and opera companies as well as with the Pennsylvania Consort and Concert Operetta of Philadelphia. He has
performed in New York City at Weill Recital Hall and in Prague at the Smetana Hall. Last year he was the tenor soloist in the Mozart ”Requiem” for Shippensburg University and was the guest artist for the African American Music Festival at Penn State University. Seay is a graduate of that university, where he studied with Anthony Leach, who had first recognized Seay’s talent when the tenor was a teenager in a church choir in Steelton.
Gerlach discovered his love for choral singing and conducting at Penn Manor
High School. After earning a doctorate in choral conducting from Southern Seminary in Louisville, Ky., Gerlach was a music professor for many years at the College of the Ozarks, near Branson, Mo. He and his wife, Margie, returned to

HOLIDAY
CRAFT SHOW
to have. But for some men, including first responders in nearly every part of Lancaster County, the shaving fast is a way to support other emergency service workers who are battling cancer.
In 2013, East Hempfield Township police officer Bill Watt was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment. After personally experiencing the emotional stress and financial burden involved with treatment, Watt wished to create an initiative to support other people who are battling cancer. The following year, Watt asked East Hempfield Township’s chief of police to waive the department’s policy that prohibits officers
from growing facial hair during November. For a minimum donation, officers were permitted to grow a beard for the month, after which the money was donated to the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute in Lancaster. The fundraiser, named Beards for Brothers, was officially registered as a nonprofit organization this year.
In 2015, Watt teamed up with West Hempfield Township police officer Rich Bowermaster to expand Beards for Brothers. The two officers’ primary goal was to advocate for first responders fighting cancer by offering them financial and emotional support, as well as raising awareness of cancer and urging other police
departments to get involved.
“(Watt and I) both work in adjoining departments, so we’ve known eachother for a long time,” Bowermaster said. “He reached out to ask if I wanted to join (Beards for Brothers), and of course, it was a no-brainer.”
After the first year, Watt and Bowermaster expanded Beards for Brothers to support other emergency service workers in addition to police officers. The initiative quickly grew into a county-wide fundraiser that police officers, firefighters and EMS clinicians in nearly every borough participate in every year. “We decided to open it up to (support) any first responder who has cancer. We all have an
important role and support each other somehow,” said Bowermaster. “Dispatchers have a tough job, and police officers work side by side with EMS and fire departments when we arrive on scene.”
Over the last decade, police departments in areas as far as Pittsburgh have joined the movement, and businesses throughout Lancaster County have supported Beards for Brothers through sponsorships and donations. In addition to the minimum donation from each participant, Beards for Brothers raises money for cancer patients by selling merchandise on its website, www.beardsforbrothers.org. Every year, Beards for Brothers selects different Lancaster-based individuals to support, and the fundraiser has benefited local nonprofit A Week Away Foundation for the past five years. A Week Away Foundation funds and organizes respite weeks for local families experiencing a life-threatening illness. Beards for Brothers invites members of the public to attend First Responders Night Out from 5:30 to 11 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6, at Olde Village Mill, 1350 Village Road, Strasburg. The event will feature food, live music, a silent auction and various activities, and all proceeds will benefit first responders battling cancer. Beards for Brothers will also host a fundraising event on Wednesday, Nov. 27, at Starview Brews, 224 Locust St., Columbia. For each beer purchased during the evening, one dollar will be donated to to first responders and their immediate families who are fighting cancer. For more information, visit the aforementioned website or search for “Beards for Brothers” on Facebook.
Prima Theatre’s annual “Illumination” holiday concert will return to Lancaster from Friday, Nov. 22, to Sunday, Dec. 22, at 941 Wheatland Ave. “Illumination” is an immersive candlelight concert featuring instrumentalists and vocalists encircled by seating on
“Illumination”
all sides. This 80-minute program will include new twists on well-known carols and songs, and the cast includes Karisa Fulmer, Gabbi Mack, Ali Murphy, and Aaron Pottenger.
Fulmer is a Pennsylvania native who attended both the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts and Temple University for vocal performance. She has since performed across the U.S., overseas, and on the seas. She hosts a podcast for seasoned and aspiring performers alike titled the “Booked & Blessed Podcast.”
Mack is a performer, arts educator and coach, and choreographer. Perhaps best known for her twoyear run as Catherine of Aragon in the musical “Six,” Mack has performed on tour, regionally, and in New York City in various musicals, plays, and concerts,
including new works. Murphy, a Lancaster native, began her involvement with Prima in 2019 as a NextGen intern and has since been involved in multiple projects. Upon graduation from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami in 2022, Murphy moved to Nashville to pursue music full time. Since her time there, she has released her debut EP, titled “A Long Time Coming,” and a single titled “Blue T-Shirt,” and she has performed at many well-known venues around town.
To purchase tickets, visit www.primatheatre.org. Free parking is available. Special all-inclusive seating, which includes an exclusive view from a cabaret table, a specialty cocktail, and a signature sweet treat delivered to the table before the show, is also available. Guests must be 21 or older to reserve these seats, which are situated on the raised stage and accessible solely by stairs.

“I’d like them to go to a restaurant, practice ordering their own food and paying for their own food,” Ortega shared. “We want to go bowling or go to the movies. We want to give them opportunities to practice those kinds of
skills.”
Unton encourages people to visit the bazaar to pick up one-of-a-kind items and see the students in action. “Ask them what they made and how they made it,” she said. “If you purchase something, allow them to test their math skills and customer service skills. Oftentimes students blossom in this environment when they are outside the classroom
and can interact with people. … By attending, you will help reinforce and demonstrate public support for our local area students and make the event impactful and memorable for them and their teachers.”
