Judge Joe Stauffer metes out justice with equality and empathy
BY JEFF FALK
Words like honor, balance and truth are words that Joe Stauffer takes very seriously. They are words that he lives by, brings to life and reinforces every day.
“You have to balance the law with what benefits the community,” said Stauffer. “By being a community member, I know what hurts the community and what doesn’t. I’m a softie for kids, and I’m a softie for older people. I’m a big proponent of second chances because I was given some second chances growing up. You have to weigh out what’s good for everyone. You have to treat everyone fairly.”
“I want to make sure this office runs with integrity,” said Stauffer, a 53-year-old resident of Warwick Township. “This office isn’t a warehouse. It’s a place where everyone is treated fairly. Fairness is the biggest thing for me, and equal fairness. You have to leave here feeling you’ve been treated fairly.”
“What I try to do is treat people with respect, and I hope people leave with that impression.”
Stauffer is nearly a year into his initial six-year term as a magisterial district judge. The former Manheim Borough police chief presides over cases, renders decisions, resolves disputes and rules on minor local law violations at his office at 690 Furnace Hills Pike, Lititz.
Stauffer’s magisterial district encompasses Lititz Borough, Warwick Township, Elizabeth Township and Penn Township.
Pennsylvania state policemen, local and regional law enforcement officers, lawyers and citizens bring more than 2,200 cases, civil suits and violations before Stauffer each year. Traffic citations are by far the most common, but Stauffer also rules on criminal cases involving drugs, domestic violence, retail theft, search warrants and landlord and tenant disagreements. He presides over more than 30 marriage ceremonies each year.
“I think (the case load) is proportionate to the size of the area and the population density,” said Stauffer. “We have a large population, and a lot of (the cases are) related to traffic. There are a lot of moving parts.”
In the complex and layered United States judicial system, magisterial district judges

Although he has never publicly spoken here before, Chris Malone has visited Lititz many times. He comes and goes as he pleases because Lititz is an open town, an open community. But Lititz hasn’t always been that way.
“In closed towns, the church decided what people could and couldn’t wear,” said Malone, a scholar and a curator at both Historic Trappe and the Lutheran Archives Center at Philadelphia. “Things like what businesses you had were tightly controlled in a closed town. They controlled the rents. They controlled who could stay overnight.”
represent the most basic level of local justice. Stauffer is one of 19 district justices in Lancaster County, and the size of his case load in Lititz Borough, Warwick Township, Elizabeth Township and Penn Township ranks 10th among those districts.
“Every one is different,” said Stauffer. “You can go before me and have a completely different experience than the others. You
At 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11, Malone will discuss the topic “An Establishment of Order and Prosperity: Outside Visitation to Bethlehem and Other Moravian Towns” at the Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz. The discussion is being presented by the Lititz Historical Foundation as part of its continuing lecture series. Malone’s talk will last about an hour and is free and open to the public. Interested

“I’ll be talking about how these Moravian-controlled towns often seemed pretty insular, but they absolutely had to have interactions from people outside the town to keep going,” said Malone. “Often times these outsiders in Bethlehem and Lititz dictated what they were offering the people in the town. They changed the make-up of the town based on those actions.”
“I think the talk will combine elements of both (the scholarly and the informal),” Malone added. “In it, I use personal letters and accounts, which bring it down to a personal level.”
More than 30 local history enthusiasts are expected to attend.
take care of visitors. They helped give an impression of the town. In that time period, sometimes the Moravians were seen with a lot of suspicions.”
An expert on the Moravian church and Pennsylvania German history, Malone has publicly spoken on this particular topic eight previous times, mainly to Moravian-themed organizations and Rotary Clubs, in person and virtually.

“It’ll definitely be people who are interested in Lititz history and who are interested in the Moravian people and Bethlehem,” said Malone, a native of Allentown who currently resides in Trappe in Montgomery County. “With Lititz and Bethlehem, one was a fully church-controlled town, and the other was a pretty controlled town. One of the big similarities was that both had visitation helpers to see to the needs of and

HARTZ PT to award grants
Between 1741 and 1845, the Moravian town of Bethlehem experienced a number of developmental changes that caused its community to evolve from a form of closed, church-controlled communalism to a completely open society.
“In almost all of the towns, it happened because of dwindling members,” said Malone.
“By the 1800s, the number of single (male residents) was almost gone. Most of the towns were completely open by around the 1850s, and they started to sell off properties. It was pressure from the outside to be more open.”
“I’d like people to know that Lititz is another important town in the Moravians’ natural and global presence in American history,” added Malone. “With the Moravians in the 18th century, you can link them to anything. Lititz wasn’t just a small town in Lancaster County. It was a stopping point (for travelers).”

leave with a different experience, and that’s how the system works. What I try to do is treat people with respect, and I hope people leave with that impression.”
A 1990 graduate of Warwick High School, Stauffer was elected to his magisterial district judge position in November of 2023 after serving as the chief of Manheim Borough’s 18-member police force for 12 years. Stauffer, who earned a degree in criminal justice administration from Alvernia University, possesses an extensive 28-year background in law enforcement.
“When I was nearing retirement as a police chief, I wondered, ‘What am I going to do now?’” said Stauffer. “I didn’t know what else I was going to do, and the opportunity presented itself. I thought, ‘I’m going to go for it.’ It felt like a natural transition for me. It’s really in my wheelhouse. I’ve remained in my passion to help people. For me personally, I’m living my best life. I’m helping the community I live in. Now my decisions affect more people more often.”
Rotary Clubs announce peacebuilding initiatives
Motorists driving on Route 81 may have seen a Rotary billboard informing travelers that they are entering Rotary District 7390, which this year was designated by Rotary International as a Peacebuilder District. There are 39 Rotary clubs in this district and 46,000 clubs around the world.

PCA&D to offer free design work to nonprofits
Nonprofit organizations in the central Pennsylvania region are invited to apply to participate in Designathon, hosted by the students at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D) in downtown Lancaster. The annual 12-hour marathon event provides free professional-level branding and design work to local and regional nonprofits. Designathon will take place on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025.
Organized by PCA&D’s American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) Student Chapter, Designathon gives students real-world experience in creating projects for clients under a tight one-day deadline. It is also intended to help students learn that nonprofits have marketing needs in order to be successful and that strong graphic design on well-organized collateral pieces is an important component in successful com-
munication and marketing plans. Students also experience the value of giving back to the community. Recent work has included website elements, updated logos, brochures, illustrations, and event posters.
During its history at PCA&D, Designathon has helped more than 120 nonprofit organizations and institutions revitalize their branding and community outreach. Each year, the event’s participation attracts dozens of students, alumni, faculty members, and staff members, many of whom return year after year to participate in the community-centered project.
For more information and to apply by Sunday, Jan. 12, visit https://pcad. edu/designathon-2025/. Questions about applications and process may be directed to Maria Hostetter at mhostetter@pcad.edu.
LancasterHistory announces leadership transition
By unanimous vote of the board of directors of LancasterHistory, Robin E. Sarratt was chosen to assume the position of president and CEO of LancasterHistory on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025, taking over the role from Thomas R. Ryan. Ryan has held the position of president and CEO since Jan. 1, 1997. The transition comes at a pivotal moment for the 138-year-old organization, as LancasterHistory is currently building a new museum in downtown Lancaster, the Thaddeus Stevens & Lydia Hamilton Smith Center for History and Democracy. Ryan will take on emeritus status and focus his efforts exclusively on completing the new Stevens & Smith Center; he plans to officially retire once the center opens, projected for late 2025.

The wonders of wintertime wildlife
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
It’s no secret that most of the continental United States contains regions that are characterized by expansive wilds and stunning landscapes. Every corner of the country has a unique ecosystem that is teeming with distinct wildlife and native flora. For many centuries, the majesty of American land has been recognized by the indigenous tribes that first coexisted with wild animals and treated the natural world with sacred reverence. From the first European settlers to modern-day tourists, nearly every America-bound voyager has been humbled by the wonders that lie between the coasts. After centuries of colonization and industrialization, the wild inhabitants of the United States have less territory to roam, but animals’ adaptation to human expansion has allowed many species to survive - and many of them can be found right in your own backyard.
Lancaster is no exception to North America’s array of distinct wildlife and scenic landscapes. The western side of the county borders the Susquehanna River, which includes several miles of striking vistas and tall cliffs that cut into thick forests. Although you’re more likely to spot a wild animal along hiking trails and protected habitats such as Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve in Conestoga or Kellys Run Nature Preserve in Holtwood, many critters reside in the more developed parts of the county. Certain hibernating species such as groundhogs, bats and jumping mice
may not emerge from their cozy caverns until spring, but winter weather often makes it more likely that you’ll find other animals in suburban yards and neighborhoods in Lancaster city. Lancaster’s non-hibernating, native creatures include foxes, raccoons, deer and multiple avian species. Many neighborhoods in West Hempfield Township are surrounded by wooded areas teeming with wildlife; residents of the suburbs need only to sit quietly in their backyards to have a good chance of spotting a herd of whitetail deer prancing past their garden shed. When it comes to garbage can burglaries and squatting under porches or in garages, smaller wild animals such as foxes and raccoons are the usual suspects.
Communities such as Willow Street and Strasburg may have less forested land than their neighbors in the Hempfield area or certain parts of the Southern End, but other factors make wildlife sightings common. Hundreds of acres of rolling farmland and busy roads often force wild animals to travel great
distances through residential and commercial areas alike in search of food and shelter.
Every winter, the Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation hosts programs and events to educate the members of the community about wintertime wildlife habits. The department also dispatches naturalists to libraries and parks throughout the county to share information and to hold interactive programs for both children and adults. This winter season, the Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation’s recent program topics and upcoming subjects include the importance of feeding birds during the cold months, how to make crafts from items found in nature and wintertime hikes at various local trails and parks.
“I find winter to be a better time of year to observe wildlife,” said Lisa Sanchez, a park naturalist with the Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation. “There are no leaves on the trees, so you can actually see the birds in your backyard better. If
we have snow or even mud, it’s a great time to follow tracks and figure out whose pawprints are in your yard.”
In February, Sanchez will host her annual maple sugaring program at Lancaster County Central Park to offer free demonstrations of the maple syrup making process, with samples included.
Every winter, Sanchez said she likes to remind people who start feeding birds to keep the feeders full until spring. Although the birds can find things to eat in the wilderness, your feathered friends who start eating breakfast in your backyard become dependent on the steady supply. “The reason you have to fill bird feeders so often is because each songbird like a chickadee needs approximately 250 sunflower seeds each day to survive the winter,” Sanchez added. “That’s a lot of seeds. I counted them to make sure once.”
PLACE AN AD
The Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation will host two events on Sunday, Jan. 5, at Lancaster County Environmental Education Center, 1 Nature’s Way, Lancaster. The first program, Cabin Fever Hike, will take place from 11 a.m. to noon, and participants are encouraged to bundle up and bring a hot beverage for a hike led by naturalist Rachel Albright. The second program, a children’s story time activity about animals in the winter, will be held from 1 to 2 p.m.
