It’s been said that getting older is a privilege and an honor; that it sure does beat the alternative. At the Lititz Senior Center, regular and semi-regular visitors seek to age gracefully, proactively, healthily - and together.
“Our mission is to create family,” said Lucy Weaver, who’s been the Lititz Senior Center’s manager for 13 years. “My goal is for people to come here and feel like family. I think isolation is a disease. Just being able to shine is important. I’m not sure what it would look like if these people were home alone without human contact. We all need each other.”
Senior Center is supported by the Lancaster County Office of Aging and staffed by Ephrata Area Rehab Services (EARS). The Lititz Senior Center is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and the program is designed for individuals 60 and older from Lititz and surrounding communities.
“It’s a stress-free place when you walk through the doors. It’s a place where you come to enjoy yourself.”
Located in the Lititz United Methodist Church’s social hall at 201 E. Market St., the Lititz
“There’s so much love here,” said Weaver. “I can tell you how great this place is, but you’ve got to hear it from the people who come here. It’s a community when you walk with people all the time. This is a social center. This is where you come to make new friends and learn something new. It’s a stress-free place when you walk through the doors. It’s a place where you come to enjoy yourself.”
In addition to a continental
breakfast and a balanced lunch, the Lititz Senior Center offers crafts; speakers; dancing; bingo; nutrition and mental health programs; exercise classes, including tai chi and yoga; card games; health screenings; haircuts; and trivia.
“The (lunch) we give is a full meal, and when some of our seniors go home, they just have a snack,” said Weaver. “They are the ones who used to call their loved ones, but they’re not getting it back like they used to
give it. Their energy levels have gone down. They may not be able to drive. The economy has hit them really hard. There are a lot of changes happening, but I think they’re more mental than physical.”
While more than 200 older residents visit the Lititz Senior Center on a semi-regular basis, there are usually no more than 70 present at one time. The seniors reside in Lititz, Manheim Township, Ephrata, Akron, Leola, Denver and New Holland.
Some live in their own homes, while others reside in retirement communities. Red Rose Transit offers seniors free transportation to and from the Lititz Senior Center.
“You have to be independent to get here,” said Weaver. “They’re parents and grandparents and great-grandparents. They’re wonderful people. They’re more than just a name. They are somebody’s somebody. We are spending time with them. Seniors are carrying more than you think they are.

The influence that the late Stan Deen had on New Holland - as a teacher, a director, and a member of the community - is well known. Stan, who passed away in July of 2016, founded Garden Spot Performing Arts (GSPA), the Garden Spot High School (GSHS) auditorium is named for him, and, according to Mike Ressler, chair of the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) board of trustees, “Everybody (who knew him) has a Stan Deen story.”
However, it was a chance
meeting between NHAHS founder Steve Loewen and Nate Deen, who was taken in by Stan as a GSHS student and on whose life with Stan the soon-to-bereleased film “Brave the Dark” is based, that has resulted in an exhibit called “The Remarkable Mr. Deen.” The display will take up the main room of the NHAHS Museum, 207 E. Main St., New Holland. No end date has been set for the exhibit. Nate and Loewen were both at a movie at Penn Cinema in early 2024. Their short conversation in the lobby led to lunch and to Nate visiting a car show Loewen

It’s always been Hayden Rucci’s dream to play in the NFL.
In some ways, he’s already realized that boyhood dream. But in some other very real ways, he hasn’t.
A 2019 graduate of Warwick High School, Rucci was a member of the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad for the majority of the 2024 season. He was as close to playing in the NFL as any player can get, without actually

organized in mid-Julybringing along the 1973 Camaro Z28 that was used in “Brave the Dark.” More meetings and a tour of the NHAHS museum followed. “I said (the museum has) got to do something in conjunction with the movie,” said Loewen.
Nate agreed, noting that Stan had done much for New Holland, but that others deserved credit as well. “To honor Stan is awesome,” he said. “But there are many in this community (who get involved). That’s what I love about this community.”
tion “the best one yet.”
“Stan wanted everyone to be involved,” recalled Nate, who is now a director as well as a producer but admitted he had no interest in theater prior to meeting Stan. “If (Stan) heard (an athlete) was hurt and couldn’t play, he would invite him to be in the show.”
Ressler played in the orchestra for GSPA shows both as a student and as a professional musician following graduation. “(Stan) would get some professionals into the mix and the kids would learn from them,” recalled Nate.

Stan was born in Lancaster, and he graduated from Penn Manor High School and later Millersville State College. Stan had developed a love for theater at an early age, and he moved to California, where he was an actor with the Pasadena Playhouse. Eventually, Stan returned to Lancaster, and he taught at Solanco High School for a few years before moving to GSHS. “When Stan arrived at GSHS in 1967, immediately, he organized a play,” recalled Ressler. Working together with teacher Frank Palumbo, Stan founded GSPA. In pulling together artifacts for the exhibit, Nate found multiple comments from ELANCO School District superintendents calling GSPA’s most recent produc-
Loewen was involved in GSPA both before and after the 1976 car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Loewen recalled working with the stage crew when Stan asked him to take over a part for a student who had dropped out. When Loewen said he preferred to stay backstage, Stan visited Loewen’s parents to enlist them in persuading him to take the part. Later, during a production of “Winnie the Pooh,” a wooden and paper tree was crafted around Loewen’s wheelchair so that he could greet children and others in the lobby prior to the play.
NHAHS vice chair Wilbur Horning remembered Stan’s legacy of pairing students in romantic roles who then went on to marry.

“Many marriages were created by Stan,” said Horning, who noted a former New Holland pastor and his wife were cast as the leads in “Brigadoon” and that siblings Hillary and Josh Martin, who took over GSPA several years ago, are the children of a couple that was brought together by Stan.
“The Remarkable Mr. Deen” will include items pertinent to Stan’s life with special attention to his influence in New Holland. The camera used by Stan’s father in his work for Hamilton Watch will be on display, as will a Christmas tree signifying Stan’s mother’s love of the holiday. An area is devoted to Stan’s GSHS desk, and photos of Stan are placed throughout. Pointing out the differences between his and Stan’s backgrounds - Nate has referred to Stan and himself as Barbra Streisand vs. Metallica - Nate
noted the large number of photos of Stan as a child. “I have thousands of pictures of Stan,” said Nate. “Stan was born in 1937, and I have pictures from his first birthday in 1938. I didn’t have a first picture until I was 6.”
One area of the exhibit will be devoted to “Brave the Dark” with an actual movie poster and props from the film. “Stan’s jacket will go here,” said Nate, who added that “Brave the Dark,” star Jared Harris wore Stan’s actual jacket in the movie. “(Harris) was so honored to wear that,” shared Nate. The NHAHS Museum is open each Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no admission fee. Nate is hoping to provide some group tours when he is available.

Trap shooting will be held at noon on Sundays from Jan. 19 to March 9, except for Jan. 26. All trap shoots are open to the public.
The club will also offer “BIG 50” ATA registered shoots on these dates. For more details, call Matt at 215-208-3731.

playing a down.
“Ever since I picked up a football, watched a game and knew about my dad playing, (playing in the NFL) has been my goal,” said Rucci, whose father, Todd, played for the New England Patriots from 1993 to 2000. “As a kid, I kind of took it for granted. As I progressed, I gained more and more appreciation for what it takes to get to that level. The ultimate goal was always to play in the league. It’s always been my goal.”
Rucci was the only tight end on Miami’s 16-player practice squad. The Dolphins also carried three tight ends as part of their regular 53-player active roster.
Miami finished the regular season with an 8-9 record.
At any point, players can move between the active roster and the practice squad, based on team needs, coaching decisions, player performances and injuries.
Rucci was part of Miami’s practice squad for most of this past year but wasn’t activated to play in any NFL regular-season game.
“For us on the practice squad, our job is to give the offense and defense looks as a scout team,” said Rucci. “For us on offense, we’re running our opponent’s offense for the defense to look at. Right now, my role is to give our defense the most accurate look for the tight ends they’re going to be facing each week.”
“If anything would happen, you’re one play away from being active,” continued Rucci. “It is kind of tough to do both, stay locked in and be ready. But that’s why I’m here, to play. In preseason, I actually played in games, and I showed what I can do. The worst thing is having an opportunity and not being ready. My ultimate goal is to get out there.”
After playing collegiately at Wisconsin, Rucci went unselected during the 2024 NFL draft. The six-foot-five-
inch, 247-pound Rucci was signed by the Dolphins on May 10 and went through the team’s offseason programs and training camp.
He was released by Miami on Dec. 24 but then re-signed by the Dolphins to a reserve/ future contract on Jan. 7.
“It definitely helps being surrounded by teammates; it keeps you motivated,” said Rucci. “Being in the league puts things in perspective. Here, each day isn’t guaranteed. You’re never guaranteed tomorrow. You never know when you’re going to return to your locker and it’s going to be empty. I think that motivates me to go out there and be grateful each day.”
At Wisconsin, from 2020 to 2023, Rucci played in 36 games and started 18 of them. He gained a reputation as an outstanding blocker while catching 17 passes for 200 yards and one touchdown.
“No matter what level you’re at, from high school to college or college to the NFL, the stakes get higher,” said Rucci. “It’s just about finding your routine in each situation you’re in. I think it’s adapting to each situation (that’s important).”
Rucci’s current situation makes it difficult to ponder a future in the NFL. It’s a business that’s gained a reputation for being fleeting and uncertain.
“Once you start looking too far ahead, you don’t focus on the moment,” said Rucci. “I haven’t thought about the offseason yet. I’m focused on getting better each day. I haven’t thought past that.”
day the team is practicing or hosting another school match. The rifle team will finish its season in early March. Any changes will be posted on the aforementioned website.

Short-term fitness goals for long-term success
At the start of each new year, millions of people sets goals they hope to attain in the coming months. In a Forbes Health/OnePoll survey of 1,000 adults in the months leading up to the start of 2024, nearly half of respondents indicated that improving their physical fitness would be a top priority over the course of the new year.
Fitness-based resolu -
tions are popular every year, but it can be difficult to achieve them. In fact, the Forbes Health/OnePoll survey found that roughly 44% of respondents said their resolutions flamed out at the two- or threemonth marker. Although there is no one-size-fits-all strategy for sticking with and ultimately achieving a resolution, breaking down the resolution into shortterm goals can help people stay motivated and achieve long-term progress.
For example, people seeking to lose weight may aspire to do so incrementally. Weight loss goals were the fourth most popular New Year’s resolution for 2024 among participants in the Forbes Health/OnePoll survey. Although that survey separated fitness goals from weight loss goals, the two are certainly linked. Individuals who aspire to lose 10 pounds undoubtedly recognize that such a goal cannot be achieved overnight, so they may aspire to lose small amounts of weight at predetermined intervals. For example, if the end goal is losing 10 pounds, they may aim to lose two pounds by the end of January. Incremental progress can motivate individuals to stay the course and ultimately propel them toward achieving a more substantial,
long-term goal.
Exercising for a predetermined number of days each week can also be a stepping stone to greater achievements. Individuals accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle can resolve to exercise three days per week in the first month of their resolution and then increase that by a day in the second month. A consistent schedule when designing this goal is imperative, which is why it can make more sense to plan for three days per week as opposed to 12 days per month.
Goal setters may consider getting fit by walking a mile each day to start. Walking is a cardiovascular activity that can have a profound effect on overall health, and it can help condition sedentary individuals’ bodies for more strenuous activity. A daily 1-mile walk will not require a significant commitment of time, but as the effects of a daily walk begin to take hold, individuals may find it easier to engage in more strenuous physical activities.
Short-term goals can help people remain motivated as they pursue more substantial goals that take longer to achieve. Such an approach can be especially useful for individuals resolving to improve their physical fitness in the new year.

Event to mark 500th anniversary of Anabaptism
An event celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Anabaptist movement will take place from Monday to Wednesday, Jan. 20 to 22, at Petra Church, 565 Airport Road, New Holland. Worship and prayer will take place daily at 10 a.m., and sessions will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. The sessions were created with input from various Anabaptist groups.
The Anabaptist movement was sparked on Jan. 21, 1525, during the Reformation by the rebaptism of three young leaders. Anabaptists include the Amish, Mennonites, the Brethren in Christ,
and Hutterites. The event will celebrate the anniversary through six primary areas of focus: remembrance, reverence, reflection, repentance, rebaptism, and re-mission. This 500-year mark of the believer’s baptism will also offer an opportunity to look to the future. For more details, call Lloyd Hoover at 717-3816641 or Dave Smucker at 717-740-2989. People may also speak with Elmer Fisher, Ken Reinford, Josh Smucker, or Reuben Stoltzfus.

The Lititz Senior Center is one of the largest of the nine senior centers located in Lancaster County. Weaver’s work is supported by supervisor Karen Hummel, assistant manager Kathy Ross and office assistant Carolyn Lewis.
“Do you know how many times I’ve been called ‘sunshine’?” said Weaver.
“Since I’ve worked here, I’ve never had the Monday blues. I get all these hugs, and I’m not a hugger. I always ask myself, ‘How lucky can I be?’ It’s nourishing to my soul every day. It’s the love we share with each other. I think even younger seniors think it’s a cool place to hang out.”
