In 1954, Alvin Engle and his wife, Pauline, purchased a small printing press with
dreams to grow from a two-person operation in the family basement into a community-focused business. This marked the beginning of Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. (EPC), which is proudly celebrating its 65th anniversary this year. Now employing more than 300 team members and distributing products throughout the East Coast, EPC is honored to have become an integral part of the communities it serves. The Engle family became publishers in 1959 with the purchase of the Elizabethtown-Mount Joy Merchandiser, a community advertising paper. Alvin left his daytime job in 1960 and became a full-time printer/publisher. The growing business overflowed into the family’s garage, then into a 20-by-100-foot shop in Mount Joy in 1965. EPC saw several expansions over the years - from new buildings and new equipment to the addition of new publications. When Alvin passed away unexpectedly in 1971, Pauline kept the Pauline and Alvin Engle, 1967 vision alive and continued the expansion efforts. “I was not fortunate to have been able to work with my father, but we have been blessed by his vision for EPC and our parents’ legacy of faith, family, and work,” said EPC vice president Denny Engle, Alvin and Pauline’s son. Denny was a high school student when his father passed away. In 1973, the company purchased the property at 1425 W. Main St. in Mount Joy, which is still the location of EPC’s Mount Joy office. EPC opened a plant in Hempfield in 1998 to accommodate state-of-the-art equipment and a 16-unit, three-story Goss Universal Press, where hundreds of publications are printed on a weekly basis. EPC’s product lines span from commercial printing to a publishing division that produces more than 30 publications, which include the Merchandiser, Pennysaver, Advertiser, and Community Courier community newspapers, as well as Lancaster County Magazine, Where & When Pennsylvania, Antiques & Auction News, and others. The company’s 22 community newspapers reach more than 367,000 households each and every week. “We are the As third generation in the business, I only local publishing company that extends in the coverage appreciate the foundation that our area that we do,” said EPC president Charles (Charlie) Engle, family has laid for us. From a young age Alvin and Pauline’s son. “We have the opportunity to connect it was instilled in me to buy local, have valuable information throughout many communities with the deep roots in the community, and have variety of publications that we publish.” a strong faith that helps us overcome EPC’s community papers connect communities by providchallenges as they arise.

The years have been marked by technological advances. In order to stay relevant in the fast-paced digital world, EPC provides all content online. TownLively.com serves as the hub of the entire coverage area – Lancaster, Chester, York, and Dauphin counties. Readers may browse through digital versions of the newspapers at www.townlively.com/read. Additionally, links to the websites of EPC’s other publications can be found at www.engleonline.com. EPC remains a family-owned company and includes four generations of family members. In addition to Charlie and Denny, family members involved with the business include Jeremy Engle, vice president of operations; Jocelyn Engle, publisher; Daryl Rutt, treasurer; and Tanya Bomberger, web project manager. Sadly, devoted family member Audrey Rutt, Alvin and Pauline’s daughter, passed away in November 2018. “As third generation in the business, I appreciate the foundation that our family has laid for us,” said Tanya. “From a young age it was instilled in me to buy local, have deep roots in the community, and have a strong faith that helps us overcome challenges as they arise. We’ve also been very fortunate to work alongside The late Audrey Rutt and her so many dedicated employees that help keep that foundation strong.” husband, Dick. Jocelyn, who took over the publishing duties for the EPC community newspapers and the lifestyle/leisure brands in November 2018, remembers growing up in the family business. When they were children, Jocelyn and her siblings went on Saturday morning tag-alongs to the printing plant with their father, Charlie. “We headed to the post office to gather our tub of mail and then head “It was once one man, one basement, into ‘work’ at the Mount Joy office,” Jocelyn explained. “Our tasks were to and one paper.

I feel extremely blessed to experience the dedication, hard work, and grit that my family taught me through the years. There was never anything as evident in this experience as the trust and faith

our leaders had in the opportunities that God has provided us through the years.” Don Scanlin, a longtime EPC employee and recent retiree, expressed congratulations to the company on its 65th anniversary and gratitude for being a member of the EPC family. “Thank the Lord for placing me with a Christian family and corporation,” he said. “Beginning my employment in 1979, I was fortunate to experience and be part of the growth of a small-town, one-edition newspaper to multi-edition publications covering the Susquehanna Valley and even the East Coast. Witnessing the progression from a multi-office, manual, handwritten environment to state-of-the art digital sales and production facilities was an exciting part of my employment.” EPC’s growth would not have been possible without the support of loyal local businesses and residents. Advertising consultant Julie Barker feels EPC’s deep roots in the community as she works with clients. “The customers I have had over the years have become family. In some cases, I have worked with their parents and now the next generation,” said Pictured from left: Jeremy Engle, Tanya Bomberger, Denny Engle, Julie. “We have been there Charlie Engle, Jocelyn Engle, and Daryl Rutt for each other through births, deaths, marriages, and health issues. There is a genuine caring and respect. I see how hard they work for their families and the community. I am so grateful to have known such upstanding business leaders and quality, honest people.” “From our family at EPC, we want to thank each person who has been a part of our evolving story, from the advertisers to the readers and the vendors,” Jocelyn said. “And to our team of dedicated employees, thank you for your many years of service. There are not enough words of gratitude that can be expressed for the amazing impact you have made in order serve the communities that we do.” Many longtime employees recalled fond memories from their time as part of the EPC family. “I have a great memory of Mrs. Pauline Engle,” said Carol Bowles, customer service. “When I ran the bindery in Mount Joy, there were times that I fed the pockets and stacked the finished product on a skid by

myself. Mrs. Engle would take a walk around the pressroom and head back towards the bindery. She would say, ‘Good morning,’ with a smile and then head straight over to the pockets and started to feed them to help out. She would also help out at the tables inserting the Merchandiser when things got behind - and she did it all in high heels. Amazing.” “One of the sweetest memories I have is one afternoon shortly after returning to work after having my daughter,” said Ruth Ebersole, customer service. “‘Mrs. E,’ as I like to refer to her, met me at the door with a baby gift. It was a hand-crocheted baby blanket that she had made for me. It was certainly unexpected but so like her and (an example of) how she treated her Nate Hoffer, employees like family.” GSS executive director Don said his fondest EPC memories are of working with others in the company to achieve common goals. “It was the employees that gave me my greatest satisfaction. These gals and guys worked willingly and tirelessly to make our company a success,” said Don, adding, “I wish Engle the best as they continue as a leader in local news and commercial printing and expand their presence in the electronic world, including the exciting new TownLively.com.” EPC’s success over the past 65 years has been coupled with the company’s proud support of many nonprofits that provide vital services in local communities. Specifically, EPC recently held its 12th annual golf tournament, benefiting Good Samaritan Services (GSS). “We simply cannot fulfill our mission and do the work we feel called to do without organizations believing in our work and partnering with us,” said Nate Hoffer, GSS executive director. “Engle Printing & Publishing is a hero to Good Samaritan Services. Over the years, they have raised well over $100,000 through their annual Drive Against Homelessness golf event and have generously donated the proceeds to Good Samaritan Services, which has allowed us to help hundreds of women and children escape homelessness and move toward stability.” While planning the golf outing each year, Nate has developed a personal admiration for the company and what it represents. “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Jocelyn Engle, Jeremy Engle, and all the great people at this family-oriented company. It is obvious that they operate with a tremendous amount of integrity, values, and a commitment to their communities,” he said. “As you can tell, I am very fond of EPC and I am abundantly grateful for their support of our ministry. Every day I see the pain and hardships that our clients encounter. If not for EPC, many of them would have no path for a brighter future.” Another organization supported by EPC is Rainbow’s End Youth Services (REYS) in Mount Joy. “From the earliest days of Rainbow’s End Youth Services in 1982, when the youth center was just a few small rooms meeting a couple hours a week, to the current full youth center with programming for all school-age students, the EPC leadership team, employees, and family have proven to be a faithful and caring community partner for REYS,” stated Joel Hughes, REYS executive director. “The decades-long support through volunteers, event sponsorships, community engagement, and financial support has been a foundation and sustaining part of allowing Rainbow’s End Youth Services to provide spiritual direction, academic assistance, and social support to local young people,” Joel said. “Our

It is because of their commitment that we have been able to bring awareness about the importance of hospice care to the communities we serve and provide care and comfort to all patients and families.

It also aligned with what Rotary considers to be the Four Way Test for actions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? and Will it be beneficial to all concerned? “They also taught us to give back and help those in need in our community. We have been blessed, so we should bless others,” he added. “I would like to thank all the loyal customers, many long-term dedicated employees, and reliable vendors who made it all possible to reach this 65th milestone.”

1. More of your money will stay in your local economy.
For every $100 spent at a local business, $68 will stay in the community. When you spend the same at a national chain, only $43 stays in the community.
2. You embrace what makes your community unique. Your community has its own unique qualities that local businesses showcase. Chains can’t do that. 3. You create local jobs. When you shop locally, you help create jobs for teachers, police officers, and other essential professions while also creating higher-paying jobs for residents. 4. You nurture community. Local shop owners know you. And you know them. Local businesses support local causes at more than twice the rate of national chains. 5. You invest in entrepreneurship. Our economy was founded on small business ownership. Rewarding hard work and creativity makes our communities strong. *Source: Civic Economics – Andersonville Study of Retail Economics.
6. You conserve your tax dollars. Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money available to beautify your community. Also, spending locally instead of online ensures that your sales taxes are reinvested where they belong - in your community! 7. You help the environment. Buying from local businesses conserves energy and resources less fuel for transportation and less packaging 8. You create more choice. Local shops sell what they know you like. They also carry more unique items based on community preference. 9. You take advantage of their expertise. Local business owners are passionate about what they do, and they want to provide you with a great product or service because they know you. 10. You make your community a destination. The more interesting and unique our community, the more we will attract new neighbors, visitors, and guests. This benefits everyone!
“The Mount Joy Chamber of Commerce always stresses keeping your dollars local and supporting small businesses, which also promotes a strong local community. Small local businesses will also give you more personalized service, and you will probably start up a new friendship in the process. Being a Chamber of Commerce and having more than 200 members, we have business members of all types and sizes, and business-to-business support is also a very large part of supporting local! Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. has been a Chamber member and servicing our area and bringing us our local events for 65 years. Because our local business owners support Engle Printing by advertising in their local weeklies, Engle in turn is able to give back to the community, which they have done for many years in a number of ways! Also, because our local businesses support and advertise in Engle Printing’s local weeklies and special sections, Engle in turn needs to hire employees from our community. It is a win-win for everyone. Congratulations to Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. on its 65th anniversary from the Mount Joy Chamber of Commerce! Keep up the great work!!” - Kerry Meyers, Chamber coordinator

Aaron Wingert of Lancaster was 30 when he experienced his first epileptic seizure. “Everything is normal in your life, and then you wake up in the back of an ambulance,” he said. Nineteen-year-old Nadine DeBalko of Adamstown was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 12 and had to change her perceptions about the disorder. “I thought it was just older people who had it,” she recalled.
Lancaster resident Kerri Michnya never remembers a time without seizures. She was diagnosed at age 10. Now age 42, she has been seizure-free for 11 years. Both Michnya’s and See Walk To End Epilepsy pg 7

All About Intentionally Investing:
A Focus On Local Cultivation Why investing and celebrating local impacts future business sustainability Lancaster County has always been a community that “leaned into the bold” — a community that knows its potential, works strategically to reach new heights, and creates an ecosystem that results in a thriving, growing, diverse business landscape getting national recognition as a place where success is collaboratively cultivated. At the Lancaster Chamber, our mission is clear: to create the environment and facilitate partnerships that impact business success and our county’s prosperity. What is immensely important for that mission to succeed is how we all come together to invest in local business success. It’s a mindset where we look at the entire community and continually ask the question: “How can we best equip, serve, and represent business in Lancaster?” We recognize that to achieve true economic sustainability for a thriving Lancaster County, a strong focus on local initiatives is critical. Investing Local: Why It Matters There are a variety of positive results when money stays within a community including: local jobs are created and sustained, the local economy grows, quality of life is improved, and customer service is enhanced. Choosing to purchase local is special — it is an intentional action that creates positive waves that sustain a variety of Annual Dinner is the Lancaster Chamber’s yearly industries and companies, while also impacting the most importcelebration of Lancaster County business. ant aspect of our future: the people within our county. Purchasing and shopping local has given rise to movements like Shop Small Saturday, our own Think Local!, and farm-to-table support, where there is an elevated emphasis on spending locally. We want to challenge you to think about how you financially invest. With an array of options, there are countless opportunities for you to make a difference with your dollars. From choosing to get a gift for someone at a local boutique in downtown Lititz, to buying your weekly produce at Central Market in Lancaster City, to dining at a new restaurant in Mount Joy, your money matters — and it impacts the very foundation of our economy’s success here in Lancaster.

The Power Of Good Business: Giving Back For Growth We have a unique business landscape in Lancaster County. We have the benefit of our private sector wanting to be immensely involved in the success of our community as a whole, and having that kind of business-led passion is key to continued growth. To celebrate local, we commemorate businesses and their Tom Baldrige, president and CEO of the commitment to what they do, their commitment to the employ- Lancaster Chamber, facilitates a discussion at ees and teams that work hard to make positive strides, and their a Young Professional’s Network event. commitment to the values and traditions of Lancaster County. Each year we host an Annual Dinner event to celebrate the businesses and organizations working tirelessly to ensure our county is set up for success. It’s a time to connect with other local leaders and community-builders while recognizing the forward progress we are all making with each decision we make on each day of the year. Over 2,000 attendees from a kaleidoscope of organizations, industries, and businesses came together to note Lancaster’s success. ADVERTISER

Carving out a space to take a moment and celebrate is important. It gives a sense of pride in what we are all doing to move our county forward and provides a time to recognize the hard work that goes on behind the scenes in so many shops, warehouses, offices, restaurants, classrooms, and more. It allows for you to observe “how far we’ve come” and, just as important if not more so, it allows for you to view “how much further we can go.” At the Lancaster Chamber, we strive to be a place of connection — where businesses can find a conduit to community impact, where they can interact with new networks of people, and where they can discover necessary resources and best practices to continue the momentum of success so the progress never stops. Cultivating Future Workforce There is one area that needs complete focus as we look towards the horizon: local workforce. It’s a topic consistently discussed, with concern over how to strategize the training, education, and preparation of future generations to take the lead The Lancaster Chamber building in downtown Lancaster. and continue the prosperity we’ve seen. At the Lancaster Chamber, this is crucial. Because of that need, we have created various programs specifically shaped to solve the problems of workforce development. The Lancaster County STEM Alliance and the Lancaster Chamber have collaborated to implement a workbased learning network called Inspire for employers, schools, K-12 students, and families in Lancaster County that are interested in connecting through workplace apprenticeships, internships, job shadowing experiences, company tours, and employment opportunities. We are thrilled that close to 100 companies have, thus far, committed to participating on this platform and, as such, are helping our future workforce become aware of their future employment options and career paths within our own county. Additionally, our mentoring program, which pairs high school juniors with almost 160 business leaders for oneto-one career mentorship, and our industry tours, opportunities for local teachers to explore various industries to help better communicate career paths to students, are also both part of our mission to bridge the gap between education and workforce needs. Education is a key to future success, so we are committed to hosting quarterly meetings with local college presidents and leaders to see how we are investing in local talent and connecting that talent to careers and employment here in Lancaster. We’ve developed an initiative for transportation with the South Central Transit Authority, High Concrete, Four Seasons Produce, and Lancaster Works to provide a shuttle service that connects city residents to well-paying jobs in the Adamstown area — jobs that are often unavailable to City residents solely due to transportation limitations and cost. All of these local programs and initiatives have been developed and implemented for the common goal: to set up our community for economic growth and success far into the future. Discover What’s Next: Let’s Connect The future of Lancaster continues to look bright. But in order to maintain momentum, we need the help of the collective community pushing toward a common goal, thinking about how we can presently act to impact sustainable results, Fernando, an immigrant from Cuba, is thriving while working at Willow Valley Communities.

We Couldn’t have done it without you
Press operator Kevin McKain, 40 years at EPC When I first walked through the door of 1425 W. Main St. on May 10, 1990, I had no idea that almost 30 years later I would still be walking through that same door. There have been many changes since that time, from writing messages on “while you were out” pads to leaving messages on voicemail, from using a typewriter to using a computer, from taking pictures with a Polaroid to using a smartphone, and from using a fax machine to email. I appreciate the opportunities EPC has given me to learn and grow. I’ve met some wonderful people because of the different positions I’ve held. In my current position, I get to work with a lot of amazing and inspiring local nonprofits, and I’m grateful to work for a company that supports so many worthy causes. - Michele Emenheiser

The biggest change I have seen is the switch from black-and-white film to full-color digital. I started at EPC in February 1986 as a photographer, and back then, we shot between 125 to 150 rolls of film per week. We then had to develop the film and print hard copy pictures from that film for all the news and sports pages. Back then, all of our photos were printed in black and white. All of this was done by hand. We covered about 25 different high schools in sports. That was all done with a full-time photo staff of two. Here in 2019, we are fully digital (made that change in the early 2000s) and everything is printed in four-color and done on the computer. - Thom Swarr
In my 35 years working at EPC, I can’t even begin to count all the great memories I have had – from Christmas parties at The Gathering Place to covering the Atlantic City, N.J., antique shows for Antiques & Auction News. I could go on and on. The best part is loving my job and the wonderful people I work for and with. I’m blessed to have been part of the EPC family for the last 35 years. - Linda Deshler
I think my time at Engle went from one end of the spectrum to the other. When I started, we put ads together line by line with Varityper, Headliner, Dorinda Peterson, Composition Department manager scissors, X-Acto knife, and glue. Pages were put together by fitting ads, news, and My fondest memory is back quite a few classifieds to fill.

L.H. Brubaker Appliances & Water Treatment
A “
by Lester H. Brubaker, who sold and serviced farm equipment in Strasburg. The first appliances he offered were large freezers used primarily by farmers. Thirty years later, after Donald H. Frank joined the business, General Electric (GE) was permitted to display appliances in the showroom. Although at first Lester was skeptical, GE convinced him to allow its continued presence, with Don H. Frank concentrating on the sale of appliances. In three years sales increased by nearly 600% and continued to climb. In 1972, Donald and his wife, Elnora, bought the company from Lester, and they stopped selling farm equipment, opting to focus solely on appliances. The next year, the couple’s oldest son, Donald L. Frank Sr., joined the business. Donald L. now owns the company, which added water treatment Three generations of the Frank family are involved with owning products and service to its and operating L.H.

lthough competition from both local and big national chains has come and gone, we’ve stayed … and grown,” said Don Frank Sr., owner of L.H. Brubaker Appliances and Water Treatment, attributing the business’s longevity to its core values – honesty, integrity, and doing what is best for the customer. “Now celebrating our 85th anniversary, I am excited to have the third generation of Franks currently working in the business,” he said.

control hood systems - it’s more important than ever to have knowledgeable sales representatives to assist customers with products. Our sales team is provided with ongoing training. This ensures they are able to help our customers sort through all the options available and determine what is best for them and their families,” commented Don Frank Sr. “Plus, L.H. Brubaker believes that customers should have the same peace of mind they would want for their families; that is why the store also offers delivery and installation and has its own factory-trained service technicians.” And like family members typically support each other, L.H. Brubaker supports the communities in which its three showrooms are located. “We sponsor all kinds of community (initiatives),” Frank said, listing churches, service organizations, sports programs, and local schools among the groups that have benefited by donations or sponsorships from the company. “It’s not uncommon to see L.H. Brubaker water bottles at many local events.” L.H. Brubaker has showrooms at 340 Strasburg Pike, Lancaster; 5303 E. Trindle Road, Mechanicsburg; and 896L Plaza Blvd., Lancaster.

f you do good for people, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do well. That is the philosophy that has guided GR Mitchell in serving its customers and expanding over the last 50 years to meet the demands of contractors, architects, and homeowners. The building supplies and home center is celebrating 50 years in business in R. Mitchell purchased a hardware store at 55 Refton Road, Refton, in 1969 and renamed it GR Mitchell Inc. In 1973, Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Steve joined
ing and driving trucks and later helping in sales and Mitchell continued to grow, and the  expanded in 1981, greatly increasing its inventory of building supplies. In 1985, George retired, selling the business to Steve. Betty Marley joined GR Mitchell to provide same year. In 1989, GR Mitchell launched its own architectural millwork department at the Refton location. Also that year, Steve purchased a 13-acre tract at 14 Beaver Valley Pike, Willow Street. In May 1996, the Willow Street facility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which included a 10,000-squarefoot hardware store, a 25,000-squarefoot building supplies warehouse, and an expansive lumberyard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; opened for business. The Refton location remained
42
for the custom millwork operation. Further growth occurred in 2005, when GR Mitchell opened a Kitchen Cabinetry Showroom in York. Tom Keller joined GR Mitchell in a sales role in 2011 and was later named sales manager, becoming a driving force in expanding building supplies sales with builders and general contractors. Much of the recent evolution and growth of GR Mitchell are credited to Tom, who has been named president and owner, succeeding Steve, who retired in May of 2019. Tom shares ownership with Bet-
Â? Together, the two are charting a path to build upon the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous successes and to open up new opportunities for GR Mitchell to better serve its customers. Today, GR Mitchell continues to Â? Â? builders, and contractors on some of the most well-known projects throughout Lancaster County and into neighboring areas including Delaware and Maryland. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Â? Â?
supplies they need for everything from local DIY jobs to large commercial building projects. The Willow Street lumberyardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply of lumber and building materials includes a huge inventory of hard-to windows, doors, and other materials. GR Mitchell has a team of drivers and Â? customers get their complete orders delivered on time and unloaded to their As a locally owned True Value hardware  Â? selection of hardware, stocking namebrand home and professional grade tools, plumbing, electric, paint, and outdoor living products. GR Mitchell has two kitchen showroom locations and Â? brands in many styles, wood types, well as countertops in a wide assortment of materials and hundreds of cabinet hardware  Â? in each location to support contractors and homeowners. GR Mitchell has also expanded its services, which now include the recently launched Prime Builder Services, a onesource supply and installation solution for contractors. The turnkey service combines the supplier and the installer accuracy, pricing, and accountability for contractors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In listening to our customers, we saw an opportunity in the marketplace to provide turnkey services, taking the products we have always supplied and pairing that with the installation as well,â&#x20AC;? explained Tom. The company broke ground in September on an 8,000-squarefoot addition to expand the retail space and is allowing for a complete overhaul of not only the kitchen showroom, but also an impressive window and door
display area. Construction is slated to wrap up in spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the services and products may change as we grow, you can be sure that our customers will always remain at the center of every decision made,â&#x20AC;? Tom said. The company is a committed member of the communities it serves, maintaining involvement with Lampeter-Strasburg, Penn Manor, Lancaster, and Conestoga Valley schools and working with various organizations from Lancaster to Drumore, Conestoga to Paradise.
