Anthony Hall receives PIAA Athletic Director of the Year Award
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Solanco High School athletic director Anthony Hall was recently named as the District III Athletic Director of the Year by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA). Anthony received the honor after the organization’s meeting of athletic directors in October, during which a vote was held to highlight an individual who has gone above and beyond to serve both the PIAA and his or her own athletic department.
To be eligible for the PIAA award, Anthony was chosen as the Lancaster-Lebanon Athletic Association’s athletic director of the year. Anthony was nominated by another athletic director in the league to receive the honor, making him a candidate for recognition at the District III level.
The ballot included various athletic directors from the region, and the vote was taken during the District III conference’s annual meeting before the fall playoff season begins.
“I was extremely surprised and honored to be nominated,” Anthony said. “We have some very good athletic directors in our league, and I was very humbled to be considered for the award.”
Anthony has worked at Solanco High School for the last 10 years, but he has more than 18 years of experience as an athletic director. Prior to taking his current position, Anthony served as athletic director at Hanover High School as well as New Hope Academy Charter School in York city, which permanently closed its doors in 2014. Between the two positions, Anthony worked as the assistant athletic director

Good Samaritan Services (GSS), a nonprofit organization that seeks to combat homelessness in Lancaster and Chester counties, recently celebrated the opening of a facility in downtown Lancaster that will offer housing for single mothers and their children experiencing a crisis. On Oct. 15, GSS held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the newly renovated
building on North Lime Street, and it welcomed its first clients at the end of October.
“It’s so essential to be able to offer short-term housing for people with nowhere to go,” said GSS’ marketing and communications manager, Rachel Shelley.
“Lancaster city is one of the most densely populated areas of families that we serve, and we’re happy to be able to take this first step to helping more

FHFLC promotes farming as way of life
BY JEFF FALK
The development of Lancaster County is rooted in agriculture and family living. It’s a past that the Farm and Home Foundation of Lancaster County (FHFLC) wants to honor but not dwell on.
FHFLC seeks to sustain, preserve and support the evolved agricultural industry in Lancaster County. The nonprofit accomplishes its mission by providing a hub for the farming community, implementing programs, fostering relationships and educating youths.
“Agriculture is very important in Lancaster County,” said FHFLC president Steve Spayd. “Lancaster County is still the leading agricultural county in the state. Our farms have gotten larger, and they’ve gotten more technical. Hopefully, at the end of the day, we can say we’ve made progress. I don’t think we’re working harder; we’re working smarter.”
FHFLC, which is directed by a 15-member board, might be best known locally for the Farm and Home Center of Lancaster County, which it operates at 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. The spacious building houses seven outside orga-
nizations, including the Penn State Agricultural Extension Office of Lancaster County, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency, the Lancaster County Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and an agricultural products business.
“Our agricultural community is a very giving community where we come together and learn different things,” said Spayd. “By having a central meeting place, I think it’s been a tremendous benefit to Lancaster County. Our learning is never finished. One of the things we need to keep in mind is, are we passing that knowledge on? There was a need for a hub, and that’s why the foundation was founded.”
FHFLC sponsors a scholarship program for Lancaster County high school students interested in furthering their educations in the fields of agriculture, family living and consumer sciences. Following an application and review process, fouryear renewable, $1,000 scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, leadership and financial need.
Since its inception in 1966, the program has awarded 526 scholarships totaling over $740,000.
Frick, a local educator and historical tour guide, will be dressed in period-accurate Colonial garb to greet patrons as they arrive. Simotas will portray United States Marine Corps officer and antiwar activist Smedley Butler, a historical figure whom the author is currently researching for an upcoming book.
Some authors’ books, such as Groff’s “Watt & Shand: East, West, Hame’s Best” and Kautz’s “Mills of Lancaster County,” highlight specific pieces of history that are unique to the Lancaster area. Other authors’ works, including “The Real Boys of the Civil War” by Moore, focus on more general historical topics. Moore wrote “The Real Boys of the Civil War” after he accumulated roughly 20 years of research into historical accounts of young soldiers who fought in the Civil War. Moore began researching the topic while he was teaching history to middle-school students, as he wanted to make the lesson more relatable and engaging. “I started researching the stories of boys who fought in the war, collect-
ing all of these materials in the process,” Moore said. “This past year, I decided to put it together and publish it.”
Although many of Moore’s books explore history beyond the borders of Lancaster County, the retired teacher and author participates in the Solanco Historical Society’s annual Living History Encampment. The event, which is held at the birthplace of Robert Fulton in Quarryville, includes several groups of Civil War re-enactors and tours of the historic grounds to offer guests a vivid glimpse of life during the war and its effect on American history.
In addition to the History Author Faire, Quarryville Library will host local educator and history buff Adam Zurn from 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21. Zurn, who is the founder of Uncharted Lancaster, will give a presentation about the Native American petroglyphs discovered near the Susquehanna River.
For more information about the library’s upcoming events, visit https:// quarryvillelibrary.org.

at HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College. After the closure of New Hope Academy Charter School, Anthony said he heard from a friend that Solanco was searching for a new athletic director.
“I started at Solanco two weeks after the day I had to leave New Hope. It was a blessing,” added Anthony. Anthony commuted from York during his first year as Solanco’s athletic director, eventually moving to his current home in Quarryville with his wife, Katie. “I traded an hourlong commute for a two-minute drive and three stop signs,” Anthony joked.
Although Anthony moved to Quarryville to be closer to his work, he said that he’s developed a deep appreciation for the Solanco community as a whole. “My wife and I have fallen in love with the community,” Anthony said. “I love that Solanco School District is a community in itself, but the greater community is always backing the school. Whether it’s
athletics, music events or school functions, the community gets involved all the time.” In addition to serving as the high school’s athletic director Anthony coaches the varsity boys’ basketball team.
In Anthony’s role as Solanco’s athletic director, one of his main duties is to oversee and schedule all of the high school’s sporting events, and he’s constantly checking in with coaches and athletes to make sure they have what they need.
Anthony said one of the biggest challenges he’s faced as athletic director is finding enough people to get involved behind the scenes, helping with tasks such as running a scoreboard or operating a game clock. “We’re always advertising for people to help out during a game. Not just as a fan, but getting involved where help is needed,” Anthony said. “Finding good workers makes it challenging, which is why I am able to do such a quality job at Solanco - I am sur rounded by great people.”
Operation Christmas Child announced
Volunteers are preparing to collect Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts during National Collection Week, from Monday, Nov. 18, to Monday, Nov. 25. More than 4,700 drop-off locations will be available across the country.
Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child - a project of Samaritan’s Purse - has been collecting and delivering gift-filled shoeboxes to children, including many who are experiencing war, poverty, disease, or disaster. Operation Christmas Child aims to reach another 12 million children in 2024 with the Gospel.
Shoebox packing is an activity suitable for individuals, families, and groups. A step-by-
step guide is available by visiting https://sama ritanspurse.org/what -we-do/operation-christ mas-child/ and clicking “How to Pack.” The project partners with local churches around the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children in need. Participants can donate a set amount per shoebox online and receive a tracking label to discover each box’s destination. Participants can visit the aforementioned website to find the nearest drop-off location and hours of operation as they make plans to drop off their shoebox gifts. The online lookup tool is searchable by city or ZIP code. Signs at each location will identify the drop-off.
Sneaker drive slated
The fifth annual sneaker drive will be held throughout November to help stock the Swap Shops, which are available to families at all of Solanco School District’s elementary schools. Community members are invited to donate new or gently used sneakers, as well as new socks and new underwear, for children ages 5 to 12. Shoe sizes needed are 11C to 13C and 1Y to 5Y.
Items may be placed in the collection box at Dewald Funeral & Cremation Services Inc., 227 W. Fourth St., Quarryville, during normal business hours. The box is located in the foyer of the main entrance at the side of the building. For more details, call 717-786-3530.

City launches survey
The City of Lancaster has launched a new travel and visitation survey designed to support the city’s first-ever tourism master planning effort. Part of the larger Lancaster City Welcome Initiative, this visitor survey follows a similar “locals first” survey conducted last spring and is designed to help city leaders gather insight on what motivates travelers to visit this part of Pennsylvania, what they value most during their trip, and how their perceptions align with what they experience when they arrive.
The city is looking for diverse participation and hopes to secure survey responses from a wide variety of people who have either traveled to Lancaster previously or who may travel there in the future.
Anyone who does not currently live or work in Lancaster city is invited to participate. The city is collaborating with local
Pet adoption event set
businesses and regional organizations to get the word out and is asking all residents to send the survey to friends and family members who live outside the city but who likely have some general awareness of what it has to offer.
Participants can share their contact information at the end of the survey to be entered into a drawing for a one-night stay for two people at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square and dinner for two at Decades with arcade tokens.
The survey can be accessed at https://bit.ly/ LancasterVisitorSurvey, and most participants take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to complete it. It will remain available until midnight on Friday, Nov. 15.
SINGING SPRING FOODS
In celebration of National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, November, Humane Pennsylvania will waive adoption fees for pets over the age of 8 through Saturday, Nov. 30. The adoption event will take place at both the Lancaster Adoption Center for Cats and Critters, 2195 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, and the Freedom Center for Animal Life-Saving, 1801 N. 11th St., Reading. Adoption hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is made possible by longtime supporters of Humane Pennsylvania who wish to remain anonymous. Prospective adopters are encouraged to visit the shelter campuses or www .humanepa.org. All potential adopters are required to go through Humane Pennsylvania’s adoption screening process, and approval is not guaranteed. As part of the adoption process, all pets will come with a comprehensive care package to ensure a smooth transition to their forever homes. Adoptions include Humane Pennsylvania’s 30-day Adoption Health Supplement; spaying or neutering prior to
people in need.”
After the ceremony, attendees were invited to tour the new residential facility. GSS had been using the building as an office space since 2017, and it served as a place for case managers to provide preventative services and meet with families at risk of eviction. The building was frequently empty between meetings, and GSS began thinking of ways it could better utilize the space. The organization began moving its offices out of the facility in October 2023, and the building was renovated to support transitional housing.
With the renovation and official opening of the North Lime Street building, GSS now offers shortterm housing at all five of its locations, which include facilities in Phoenixville, Coatesville, Kennett Square and Ephrata. The Lancaster city location will provide safe housing for up to eight people in addition to case management services and resources. Although the facility will only serve single mothers and children for the time being, GSS plans
to expand its services to assist all demographics over the next 10 years.
Another factor in GSS’ decision to offer housing in Lancaster city is the convenience and accessibility it offers residents. Clients who stay at the facility are closer to child care, have more job opportunities nearby and can easily access public transportation.
“It’s a rich opportunity for people to access resources in the city that we haven’t been able to offer before,” Shelley said.
Although the North Lime Street location has officially opened its doors, GSS still hopes to complete two addition projects to add a laundry room and renovate a patio on the second level of the building. Shelley said the organization is seeking partnerships with businesses and other nonprofits, as well as volunteers to assist with the projects. “We would love to welcome people for tours to learn more,” added Shelley.

A Movie Night Fundraiser will take place on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. at Penn Cinema, 541 Airport Road, Lititz. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
All money raised after the theater rental is paid will go directly to Manheim Township resident Garnet Sofillas, who has cancer. Sofillas has undergone multiple rounds of che
motherapy and radiation, and she has been unable to work full time since beginning treatment. She was recently approved for an experimental treatment. The fundraiser’s proceeds will help to pay for expenses not covered by insurance.
Sofillas’ favorite movie, “Legends of the Fall,” will be shown at the event.

Arborist course planned

The course is designed to allow participants to view lectures live or via recordings and take the required quizzes to complete the course and receive a certificate of completion and ISA CEUs, if requesting them.

from pg 2
The scholarship program is funded through the Elmer L. Esbenshade Trust and FHFLC.
“I think the scholarship program is a very important aspect of Farm and Home Foundation because we want to encourage young people to further their educations,” said Spayd. “I think they’re kids who are motivated to learn more and who have a hunger for knowledge. Book knowledge and hands-on knowledge have to go together. The saying ‘it takes a community to raise a family’ is so true. I don’t think you could put a price tag on the whole thing.”
FHFLC, which also supports local 4-H clubs, FFA and community clubs, was established in 1961 by a group of Lancaster County farmers and their
wives who were seeking to support agriculture in the community. In 1967, the current Farm and Home Center building was completed.
“I don’t know that the general public knows about us,” said Spayd. “Maybe those in the local agricultural community do. I don’t think people realize the availability of programs for them there and what the foundation has to offer. We’d like to make more people interested in how their food is being produced and where their food is coming from. So many people think food comes from the grocery store, and they don’t know anything beyond that.”

The group played in local parades and town events and eventually won “America’s Got Talent.”

His presentation will cover a variety of burial options that are available to people who wish to have interments that have little to no impact on the environment. Topics will include embalming with natural oils instead of formaldehyde, caskets that are 100% biodegradable, burial locations that do not require an outer burial container or burial vault, and nature preserves that do not use fertilizers, insecticides, or
pesticides. Spence will also share why he believes that cremation is not a green choice. Refreshments will be available, and a question-and-answer session will close the presentation.
