Be A Buddy - Change A Life!
BY ANN MEAD ASH“(The Brave Buddies mentoring program) is something we will always hold,” said Karla Beiler, director of Pequea Valley (PV) elementary advocacy with The Factory Ministries. “The neat thing is we get to impact more kids (with mentors),” Beiler explained. “When there are 12 kids … with just me, there’s only so much impact.”
Students who take part in the mentoring program, traditionally held three times a year at The Factory, 3293 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise, are in third, fourth, and fifth grades at PV School District elementary schools. The spring session, which will be held on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m., will begin on March 28. Each session begins with a snack and a game, followed by a half hour of buddy journal time. Students meet one-on-one with a mentor to read a story. Each week, the story has a theme such as “Believe in Yourself,” “Be Persistent,” or “Effort Is Key.” At the end
of eight weeks, there is a closing event for students’ families to attend.
Volunteer mentors must be age 16 or older and must have completed all their background clearances. Beiler provides training to help mentors feel more comfortable taking part in the program. Beiler noted that mentoring is a great opportunity for high school students looking to go into education or work with children in other capacities.
The mission of Brave Buddies is “to offer a safe and positive environment … where learners will benefit from … mentoring with a caring adult, focused on gaining a growth mindset and increasing self-efficacy.” Weekly surveys gauge progress for the mentor and mentee and let Beiler know whether extra help or resources are needed. Beiler witnesses the progress students make during each session. “I see (the mentees) grow and be empowered (by mentors),” she said. “(They) learn what they are gifted in, and

BY ANN MEAD ASHBack in the spring of 2019, when Adam Burns, area representative with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Lancaster, was first asked to observe the student-led Bible study meeting in the Pequea Valley School District (PVSD), the gathering had shrunk so much that the advisers were concerned. “The Bible study at the high school has been there since at least 2003,” said Burns, who graduated from Pequea Valley High School (PVHS) in 2003. “FCA came alongside to provide structure, leadership, and resources.”

Giant’s Feeding School Kids Initiative Returns
For the third year in a row, the Giant Company has announced the launch of its Feeding School Kids initiative and its $250,000 commitment to kick off the program. From now through Tuesday, Feb. 28, customers at Giant, Martin’s and Giant Heirloom Market stores are invited to round up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar or convert their CHOICE points into a donation to support public school district food programs.
Giant launched the Feeding School Kids program in 2021 to address the issue of childhood hunger throughout local public school communities. Together with its
customers, Giant has raised more than $4.8 million to date to help ensure no child goes hungry at school or at home.
Through the Feeding School Kids initiative, school districts have been able to support meal programs and address food insecurity through activities ranging from supplying backpacks with weekend food to clearing outstanding student lunch debt to building oncampus food pantries. School districts in Pennsylvania have benefited from the program.
That Makes a Difference
Shoes & Boots For The Whole Family
BY ANN MEAD ASHJo Ann Brown has been writing since she was 11 or 12 years old. She put aside her hopes of becoming a writer in college and while serving in the Army and raising a family, but in 1984, she began recording her thoughts again, and by 1987, she had sold her first historical romance. “Nothing Wagered,” written under the name Jo Ann Ferguson, was published in 1988. How the national bestselling author moved from writing romance novels to writing Christian romances featuring Amish characters will be the subject of the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) presentation scheduled to be held on Thursday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. in the chapel at Garden Spot Village, 433 S. Kinzer Ave., New Holland.
Prior to 2007, Jo Ann entered the inspirational market writing under the name Jo Ann Brown. Her first book in that genre was “Thomas Kinkade’s Home for Christmas.” The editor she worked with on that book then asked if she would be interested in writing fiction about the Amish community. Jo Ann and her husband had lived in West Chester in the 1990s, and having majored in history, Jo Ann was experienced at doing research. She and her husband headed to Lancaster County to begin learning about Plain culture. “I was familiar with the area,” said Jo Ann, “but I had a lot of assumptions about the Amish, and I knew those were most likely not true.”
During her visit to Lancaster, Jo Ann talked with members of the Amish community, stopping at yard sales and chatting with anyone willing to talk to her. She also bought
books about the sect and started researching.
“The assumptions went away, and they (became) real people,” said Jo Ann.
Two years ago, Jo Ann and her husband moved from Florida to New Holland, and her understanding of Amish culture deepened. “I go to the grocery store, and (members of the Plain community) buy the same things I do, but they choose to live their lives in a different way,” she said.
Before Jo Ann wrote plots involving the Amish, she wrote Regency romances, which are set in the early 1800s. The subgenre, she noted, follows a “strict moral framework” for behavior between men and women. “To move from that (to writing
stories featuring Amish characters) was not a really big step,” Jo Ann commented. “It was a comfortable transition. I just had to learn all the new rules.”
The program is open to the public. More information about NHAHS may be found at https://nhhistorical.com or by searching for “New Holland Area Historical Society” on Facebook.
Information about Jo Ann and the many books she has written may be found at www.joannbrownbooks.com.

GOTR Helps Girls Reach Developmental Finish Line
BY JEFF FALKAll phases of development are important. But it seems that the stage between the third and eighth grades may be especially critical in the growth of young women.
That’s where Girls on the Run (GOTR) steps in and helps girls put their collective best foot forward. GOTR’s mission is to help adolescent females become more social, more confident and more emotionally aware.
“We address the whole girl,” said Jennifer West, program director for GOTR of Lancaster. “Girls are facing so many critical decisions at this stage. We help girls with friendships, resolving conflicts, reaching goals, overcoming obstacles and asking for advice.”
“We hear girls say, ‘I’m not good enough. I’m not tall enough. I’m not smart enough,’” continued West. “We tell them, ‘No, you want to be yourself.’ We help girls find their star power. We help girls make good choices.”
West emphasized that GOTR is more than simply a
running program, but an after-school, community program. “You can hop, jump and skip, as long as you’re moving forward,” she said.
GOTR of Lancaster conducts two 90-minute meetings each week for 10 weeks, during both the spring and fall seasons. Registration for the spring 2023 season will begin Wednesday, Feb. 15.
Meetings are conducted by volunteer coaches in every school district in Lancaster and Lebanon counties, as well as at churches and social organizations like the YMCA. Last spring, GOTR served 960 local residents, and in the fall, the program’s participants numbered around 560. This spring, GOTR of Lancaster is shooting for 1,100 participants, 80 teams and 450 volunteer coaches.
“We’re really dependent on finding people with love for Girls on the Run,” said West.
GOTR’s program separates its girls into two groups by age. The course focuses on participants learning about themselves first, then learning about cooperation and
50 % OFF Traditional Smorgasbord
finally learning about their communities.
This year’s spring GOTR program will be capped on Saturday, May 20, at Franklin & Marshall College with its annual 5K run, which is expected to draw 3,000 participants, running buddies, coaches and spectators.
“We started out with 25 girls and two teams,” said West. “It’s 14 years later, and we feel like Girls on the Run has become a household name.”
Lancaster is one of 200 councils of the international GOTR program. In 2017, GOTR of Lancaster incorporated Lebanon County as part
of its reach.
Since its inception, GOTR of Lancaster has served nearly 19,000 participants.
“Now we have girls who have graduated from college coming back and they’re like a bridge to the older people,” said West. “We’re a lot more sure of ourselves. We know it’s successful. We know it’s impactful. We know it’s making a difference in people’s lives.”
To register for GOTR’s spring session, visit www.gotrlancaster.org, email jwest@gotrlancaster.org or call 717-869-5655. There is a fee to register, based on income.

Burns and other FCA representatives explained to the advisers how FCA works. “We provide leadership training and structure,” said Burns, who noted that students understanding the expectations of a leader is an important part of the program. During COVID-19 restrictions, the group met virtually, and attendance was sometimes sparse, but now “huddles,” which FCA groups are called, are meeting in healthier numbers at both PVHS and Pequea Valley Intermediate School on Wednesday mornings from around 7:15 to 7:45 a.m. Huddles are open to all students, regardless of athletic participation.
Learning leadership, according to Burns, begins after students have become familiar with the program. “By the end of the (eighth- grade) year, you can see that they under-
SINGING SPRING
stand their responsibilities,” he said. “Kids who were afraid to speak out loud at the beginning of the year are confidently praying in front of a group of 25 of their peers. That’s fun (to see).” Current intermediate school leaders include Anneliese Watson, Taylor Gentzler, Danielle Sensenig, Colston Temple, and Hudson Fisher. The faculty adviser is Jamiel Smoker.
Each meeting includes a snack and a game that goes along with the Bible lesson. “We have what are called ‘Athlete’s Bibles’ and a number of other resources, such as devotionals and resources for sharing the Gospel message,” explained Burns. In the table of contents of the Athlete’s Bible, there are more than 200 topics ranging from love and prayer to cults. “It will give you a study or two within the Bible on that topic, and there are Scripture passages and thought-provoking questions that leaders
can use.” Leaders can also turn to “workouts” - up to 10minute group exercisesfound in the back of the Bible. “If a student leader wants to do a huddle with their team and only has a few minutes before practice, that gives them something to use as well,” said Burns.
Burns noted that adults from the community who wish to help FCA may volunteer to serve as character coaches. “I would love to get people who are looking to get plugged in to develop (mentoring) relationships with these kids,” he said,
noting that character coaching duties usually include attending practices with a sports team once or twice a week and home games if the coach can make it. “We ask them to commit for a season, serving in whatever way the team needs,” said Burns, who noted that sometimes the need is academic rather than sports related.
Area residents who wish to help out may contact Burns by calling 215-350-4140 or emailing adamburns@fca.org. More information about FCA may be found at www.lancaster fca.org.

PV Wrestlers Compete in League Meet
The Braves competed in the L-L League Wrestling Championships on Friday and Saturday, January 27-28 at Manheim Township. Pequea Valley came away with nine team points in the two-day tournament.
Senior Zach Hollenbaugh represented the Braves nicely with two pins in the consolation brackets of the 189pound weight class.
Hollenbaugh suffered a tough loss to McCaskey’s Bryson Cantrell in a 6-3 decision. In the consis, however, he posted a pin 4:31 into the match against Dominick Nell of Columbia. He then pinned Rolan Firestone of Lebanon before a loss to Ephrata’s Sam McCracken ended Hollenbaugh’s tournament.
Fellow senior Jovanni Candelario went 1-2 in the tournament, grappling in the 152-pound weight class.
After a loss to Warwick’s Andrew McClune, Candelario rebounded with an impressive victory, pinning Hempfield’s Dom Angelo in 30 seconds. His next consolations bout, however, ended 16 seconds into the second period as Manheim Central’s Logan Forrest maneuvered a pin against Candelario.
Lincoln Houck wrestled at 114 and drew the eventual champ in Manheim Township’s Kaedyn Williams, resulting in a first-round defeat.
In the consolations, Houck came up empty against Elijah Myers of Lampeter-Strasburg. Myers turned away the Pequea sophomore 7-0.
GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
The Pequea Valley girls’ basketball team scored 60 points in consecutive games as the Braves extended their win streak to four games.
The 60-point games came against Lancaster-Lebanon League opponents with Pequea improving to 8-2 in league play (17-2 overall).
The defense was already coming off an anomaly of sorts, having given up only 11 total points in the Braves’ two previous wins. On Thursday, January 26, the offense charged out to a 2611 halftime lead at Lancaster Mennonite. The 22-point output in the third quarter helped pace Pequea to a 6023 victory.
Speaking of an anomaly, the Blazers’ Jayla Rivera scored 20 of her team’s 23 points. She made seven baskets, including a threepointer, and went 5-for-6 at the free throw line.
Shania Stoltzfus and Janae Patterson both scored 12 points to lead Pequea. Katie Stoltzfus scored eight.
Patterson led the team in scoring on Tuesday, January 31 at Lancaster Country Day. She had 17 points to go with five rebounds, five steals and three assists.
The Braves topped the Cougars 60-35.
“Our defense held Lancaster Country Day’s leading scorer, Genesis Meadows, to only eight points,” said Braves’ head coach Jason McDonald. “That’s 17 points below her average.”
Brooke Graham grabbed four rebounds and was second in scoring with 10 points. Katie Stoltzfus and Bre Beiler each put up eight points. Shania Stoltzfus scored seven and pulled down five boards.
“We shared the ball well on offense and hit open shots,” McDonald said. “We need to stay sharp so we can hold on to the third seed for districts.”
Lancaster Catholic, with its 18-1 record, holds the top spot in the District Three Class AAA rankings. The Columbia Crimson Tide, who have given the Braves their only two setbacks of the season, is ranked second.
BOYS’ BASKETBALL
The Braves kept pace with the Blazers in a Section Four road game on Thursday, January 26. Mennonite blazed ahead in the fourth quarter, however, with a 2310 run to overtake the Braves in a 47-39 victory.
Pequea was leading in this game 29-24 after three.
Jackson Neff led all scorers with 18 points. The Pequea junior hit four three-
point buckets on the night. Cam Beiler and Joerick Irizarry each scored seven. Chase Hurts led Mennonite with 17 points.
The loss dropped the Braves to 0-5 in league play and 3-15 overall. The Blazers improved to 12-7 (6-1 league).
With a 25-8 halftime edge, Lancaster Country Day held on to top the Braves at Pequea Valley on Tuesday, January 31. The Braves
outscored the Cougars 23-22 in the second half, but that wasn’t enough as LCD came away on top 47-31.
Irizarry had a 15-point performance for PV while Luke Rogers tallied six points.
Country Day’s Jake Kumah equaled Irizarry for the game’s top scoring honors. He scored 12 of those points off three-point baskets.
