One or the other, Fire & Ice is never lukewarm
BY JEFF FALK
There are a lot of cool events in Lititz, and in Lancaster County, for that matter. Fire & Ice is one of the coolestand one of the hottest.
Venture Lititz’s Fire & Ice is currently gearing up for another spectacular showing. Lititz’s popular annual winter carnival is always seeking to top its previous self, and Fire & Ice rarely disappoints.
“It’s an event that showcases Lititz in a way that other events don’t,” said Emily Allen, Venture Lititz’s executive director. “I think this is one of the best events. I don’t judge other people’s events. Every event takes
a massive amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. I think our events are amazing because I know how much work goes into them.”
“My favorite part is seeing everyone out and enjoying it - just seeing this community come together and enjoying Lititz as much as I do.”
Venture Lititz is staging the 19th edition of Fire & Ice over 10 event-filled days between Friday,
Feb. 14, and Sunday, Feb. 23, in and around the shops of the historic downtown. The festivities will kick off from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 13, with Winter’s Coolest Night Out, a ticketed Fire & Ice preview party.
While Fire & Ice is free to attend, some of the events and attractions require fees to participate and partake. Parking is available on streets, in downtown business parking lots and at Warwick High School and Middle School during weekend events.
“Fire & Ice is a way to get people out and seeing people,” said Allen. “February is a cold month. (Fire & Ice is) something to look forward to. It’s a fun activity in winter. It gives you a reason to get outside.”

There are a great many Lancaster County nonprofits seeking to fulfill basic needs. But there’s so much more to life than bare necessities.
Not only does Community
Action Partnership of Lancaster County (CAPLC) want its clients to survive, but the nonprofit also wants them to thrive.

At the heart of Cavod Performing Arts is executive director and founder Connie Dienner’s heart for children and young adults.
“The arts are a vehicle for kids’ lives to be changed,” said Dienner. “(The goal is) for them to find their identity by taking classes and finding their giftings and their talents.”
On Saturday, Feb. 8, Cavod will celebrate 20 years of existence with an extravaganza called Lifetime Tour at Worship Center, 2384 New Holland Pike, Lancaster, from 2 to 5 p.m.
There is no charge to attend, but registration is requested by Wednesday, Feb. 5, by visiting www.cavod.org or calling 717-354-3355.
Guests will receive a passport and a bag upon entry. More than 10 stations will be available in the foyer area. As attendees have their passports stamped at each station, they will receive a gift.
“The first station will (represent) the barn where we started on the Welsh Mountain,” said Dienner, who added that the second station will represent the location at 501 E. Main St., in New Holland. “We were there six years,”

More than man’s best friend
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
If you walk into the headquarters of United Disabilities Services (UDS), located at 2270 Erin Court, Lancaster, you’ll find more than a few reasons that dogs are commonly referred to as man’s best friend. The nonprofit organization provides highly
trained service dogs for clients throughout Lancaster County and its surrounding areas, and each UDS dog is equipped with a special skillset to meet its owner’s needs.
In early January, an office on the second floor of UDS’ main building was temporarily converted into a kennel for a litter of young golden Labs. The six puppies were less than 3 months old and, like all new arrivals at UDS, adorable but unruly. After a 22-month training program, each dog will be obedient enough to accomplish tasks such as opening a door and picking up a TV remote from the floor. Outside the room of puppies, UDS volunteer Linda Rineer worked with CJ, a black Lab that is almost ready to be paired with a client. While a chorus of yelping and whining echoed from the temporary kennel, Rineer praised and encouraged CJ as he pulled a walker and opened doors on command.
“The key to successfully training a dog is food, food and more food,” said Rineer, a resident of the Buck who
frequently travels to UDS’ facility to assist with training. “A lot of people think (service dogs) are working, but for them, it’s like playing ball all day.”
UDS service dogs specialize in different areas, and each canine is matched with a job that complements its personality traits and strengths. Some dogs may have a calming presence that can help anxious children feel more comfortable in school, and others are perceptive enough to recognize the early signs of a traumatic flashback and rush to their owners’ side. Rineer said the fourth UDS dog she helped train was able to fetch bottles of water from the refrigerator for a client with mobility restrictions. The dog was even able to take the empty bottles to the recycling bin after the owner was finished.
In recent years, UDS has broadened its service area to include clients within five hours of Lancaster County. The number of local school districts requesting a service dog has steadily increased as well, and UDS
dogs currently serve nearly every school district in the county. Jennifer King, a member of the UDS service dog ambassador team, said many teachers testify that service dogs have reached students in ways no school staff member was able. “It’s the power of a wagging tail and a wet nose,” King said. UDS relies on sponsorships and donations from the community to sustain its service dog programs. Each dog requires an investment upward of $25,000 to cover the cost of coaching and food during the 22-month training period, and financial support from individuals and businesses allows UDS to lessen the cost of acquiring a dog for clients.
UDS will hold its annual bingo fundraiser on Sunday, March 9, at Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. The organization is always accepting volunteers who wish to help with events and training sessions. For more information, including how to become a volunteer, visit https:// udservices.org.
Prima to present “Peanuts”-inspired musical
Prima Theatre, 941 Wheatland Ave., Lancaster, will present the musical “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” from Friday, Feb. 7, through Sunday, Feb. 23. Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, Feb. 7, 14, and 23; at 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays, Feb. 8, 15, and 22; at 2 p.m. on Sundays, Feb. 9, 16, and 23; and at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Feb. 13 and 20.
The musical was inspired by Charles Schulz’s iconic “Peanuts” comic strip. Set in a thrust U-shaped seating arrangement, audiences will be immersed in the performance, and no seat will be more than four rows from the action.
The musical captures the humor and heart of “Peanuts,” from Snoopy’s playful antics to Charlie Brown’s earnest quest to be a “good man.” The story is brought to life by professional performers. To purchase tickets, visit www.primatheatre. org or call 717-327-5124.
Future UDS service dogs await the start of their training at the organization’s office building.
Volunteer Linda Rineer teaches service dog CJ how to pull out a chair.

said Dienner, who noted that Cavod has been at its present location at 665 W. Main St., New Holland for 11 years. Cavod Theatre, which is located at 641 W. Main St., opened nine years ago, and a branch opened in Manheim four years ago. Another station will honor the late Stan Deen, who helped Dienner found Cavod Theatre, and stations will be dedicated to Cavod programs such as the City Light outreach dance teams and Friends in Motion, which offers classes for individuals with disabilities. Another sta -
tion will feature Ornate, Cavod’s professional dance team, which performs locally and internationally with a trip planned to South Africa and Kenya later this year. There will also be a missions table and a blessings table where students can share the Cavod experiences for which they are thankful and make suggestions about what Cavod should offer in the future.
Another station will feature Dienner’s book, which will be released that day. The book is called “From Barn to Stage.” “(The title)
has a double meaning,” said Dienner, who noted that the book tells both her story of growing up Plain on an Indiana hog farm and the story of the founding of Cavod. “I wasn’t allowed to be in shows, but I would sing to the pigs and dance for the pigs,” recalled Dienner. “That’s how I got my start in the arts.” Dienner’s book, which she wrote with Shawn Smucker, will be available that day by donation.
In addition to the stations, illusionist Jay Stoltzfus will perform in the café, and cake will be available to share.

pods, a year of free tuition, or season theater tickets,” said Dienner.
“At 3:30 p.m. we will go into the auditorium for a production,” said Dienner, who noted that Cavod will show a video by MAKE/ FILMS that looks at Cavod’s history and its future. “We will have live testimonies, dance, music, and worship,” said Dienner. “We really want the community to come and experience and see the progression of what God has done over the years,” she added. “(They will) also be able to hear the heart of where we are going. We have just begun.”

development officer for eight years. “When any one group of people do better, we all do better. Every person has value, and we’re all members of the same community. We get to do this work, and we hope that everyone sees this work as important, not just the people receiving our services. Lancaster County is a strong community, but we know that not everyone is benefiting from the growth and development. It’s all of our responsibilities to be a part of that.”
Headquartered at 601 S. Queen St., Lancaster, CAPLC operates under the motto of “People. Empowered.” The organization serves its clients through 10 distinct programs in four focus areas - early education, health and nutrition, household stability and safety empowerment. With satellite offices at 560 S. Reading Road, Ephrata, and 400 Chestnut St., Columbia, CAPLC offers individuals services through its Thrive to Five program, WIC (Women, Infants and Children), nutrition education, senior centers, food distribution,
Fire & Ice
utility assistance, Early Learning Resource Center, RISE (Resilient. Inspired. Strong. Empowered.), Crispus Attucks Community Center and domestic violence services.
“I think we do have a unique opportunity,” said Aurand. “Each of these 10 programs has its own whys and whats. For the participants, the net that’s cast is pretty wide. If people are coming to us for one service, they might have a need for another service. We can do a lot of it here, but it’s not exhaustive. Our employees also know what else is out there.”
According to an American Community Survey, the poverty rate in Lancaster County was 8.2% in 2023, meaning 44,195 Lancaster County residents were living below the federal poverty level. In that same year, CAPLC served 45,609 individuals, almost entirely from Lancaster County, and distributed over 880,000 pounds of food to local pantries.
“These are folks who, for whatever reason, find themselves living with low incomes,” said Aurand.

Fire & Ice will feature fan-favorite events like the Lititz Lions Club’s Chili Cook-off, a maker’s market, performances featuring fire, a family-friendly scavenger hunt, art in Lititz Springs Park, an ice cream social and a winter funderland for kids. Enhancing the event’s vibe will be Fire & Ice’s signature ice sculptures, which will be strategically placed throughout the downtown and include 95 one-block creations and 25 giant statue carvings.
There will also be live music, including a traveling band; 20 rotating food trucks; warming tents; a photo contest; and a food court. Many of the business district’s merchants will be offering in-business specials designed to liven the celebration.
“There are tons of different opportunities,” said Allen. “That’s why we spread it out over 10 days, so you can do it all. You’ve just got to come
“Most of our programs are income qualifying; some are not. We want to get folks to thriving. We want to see that the resources we are providing are making a difference and lifting their families. It all comes back to economics. These resources are really adding to a person’s economic portfolio. We all have goals for our families.”
The operation of CAPLC relies on the work of 300 employees, more than 33,000 volunteer hours annually and about 300 local partnerships. CAPLC is funded through the federal community services block grant program, as well as private and business donations.
“Collaboration is so important,” said Aurand. “It’s one of the founding blocks of community action. We can’t do it all. The collaboration is really, really deep and for the full benefit of the community.”
“I truly believe that the best part of it is being able to work with a group of people every day who are committed to moving the mission forward,” Aurand added. “Even though our roles may be different,
that’s what we’re all working toward.”
One of more than 1,000 branches nationally, Community Action Partnership was founded in Lancaster County in 1966. The national program was established by the Economic Opportunity Act partly through the stated initiative, “It is the policy of the United States to eliminate the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty in this nation.”
“In the 1960s, the Lyndon Johnson administration launched the war on poverty,” said Aurand. “That’s what community action grew out of. It came from the idea that poverty exists in the midst of plenty.”

back to Lititz to do them.
My favorite part is seeing everyone out and enjoying it - just seeing this community come together and enjoying Lititz as much as I do.”
This year’s Fire & Ice festival will be presented over the downtown parts of Broad Street, East Main Street, Lincoln Avenue and Juniper Lane and in the front sections of Lititz Springs Park. More than 40,000 people from Lititz, surrounding communities, Lancaster County and surrounding counties are expected to attend.
“It’s a family event,” said Allen. “Everyone’s excited to be out seeing stuff. Some of the ice sculptures are interactive. Adults get just as excited as kids do.”
“People come from all over,” continued Allen.
“People travel for it. They’re looking for reasons to get out. They’re looking for something fun to do in February, and if they are, this is the place they want
to be.”
At one time a weekend event, Fire & Ice originated from the Lions Club’s Chili Cook-off and a desire by Venture Lititz to support downtown businesses during one of their slowest months of the fiscal year. Presenting Fire & Ice requires the cooperation of dozens of volunteers and the support of more than 34 sponsors.
“The community comes together to make this event amazing,” said Allen. “There are tons of people involved. February is a slow month for businesses. It’s very good for the businesses of the downtown.”
“It’s (Venture Lititz’s) biggest fundraiser of the year,” she added. “It helps us to be able to do things throughout the community throughout the year, the continued work of Venture Lititz. We’re not doing it for the money; we’re doing it to see smiles on faces.”
