Historic preservation keeps present-day Lititz in touch with roots
BY JEFF FALK
Historians say that if we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. Historic preservationists say if we don’t protect history, we’ll lose it.
Not every town has a historic area advisory committee. But not every town has as much history as Lititz.
“Historic preservation is a view into the past, and it tells the story of how we got here today,” said Timothy Essig, chairman of the Lititz Historic Area Advisory Committee (LHAAC). “What makes historic preservation so important is that we learn so much from it. You could ask 10 different individuals, ‘What does historic preservation mean?’ and you’d get 10 different answers.”
A local government committee made up of seven members and associated with Lititz Borough, LHAAC works closely with the Lititz Zoning Hearing Board in an advisory capacity on decisions on exterior changes to buildings and structures in the downtown’s historic area.
LHAAC doesn’t actively engage in historic preservation, apply for government grants for historic preservation or anything like that. But the committee does support, promote and advocate for historic preservation in Lititz.
The actual act of historic preservation is performed privately, by individuals, property owners and business owners.
“There are a number of people in Lititz involved with historic preservations besides LHAAC,”
said Essig. “The committee is made up of dedicated individuals who care about the community and historic preservation. Every one of us has a passion for
“Historic preservation is a view into the past, and it tells the story of how we got here today.”
history. The committee is dedicated to preserving the historical authenticity and historic heritage of Lititz. The advisory committee takes its job very seriously.”
Lititz’s historical area shares many of the same buildings and structures with the downtown’s business district. It’s an area that includes the blocks of Main Street primarily west of Linden Hall School for Girls, a couple of blocks north of East Main Street and one block south.
“What’s interesting about our historic district is that we’re not just talking about the literal building blocks of our town, (but) we’re also talking about the figurative ones,” said Essig. “It’s the charm of our town. Lititz has more standing Colonial structures than historic Williamsburg. These structures give Lititz its historic feel.”
“The historic buildings are

It has absolutely nothing to do with people lying on their backs in the snow and moving their arms and legs to create impromptu winter weather art. It’s more closely related to kindred spirits performing heavenly work here on Earth.
These are different kinds of Snow Angels.
“Before we had a formal name, the people who we were helping named us,” said Jennifer Jarvis, one of the founding members of the Lancaster Snow Angels. “They said to us, ‘You’re angels. We’re so thankful.’”
The Snow Angels are an independent, community-oriented group of concerned citizens who travel around the Lancaster
countryside shoveling and removing snow from the sidewalks, walkways and driveways of the elderly, the disabled and veterans - neighbors who can’t remove snow on their own.

Autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a develop mental condition that affects how some people conduct them selves, gain knowledge, speak and listen and relate to others.
organization’s main goals are to enhance the lives of people and families affected by the disorder and to integrate those individu als into society.
It’s a disorder that we continue to learn about and one that might be more prevalent than first realized.
NeurAbilities Healthcare of Lancaster approaches autism from both clinical and behav ioral perspectives. Two of the
“People are often coming to us because they are struggling to support their family members,” said Adriana Neumann, NeurAbilities’ senior director for applied behavior analysis clini cal services. “There’s something they’re struggling to manage. They want their child to learn, to make progress, to navigate the world. Every family is different.

important to defining the historic character of Lititz, and it must be preserved,” added Essig. “Lititz is a quaint little historic mecca. We have thousands of visitors from all over the country and the world coming to Lititz every year because of its historic feel.”
Each year, LHAAC reviews 25 to 30 written and submitted applications for exterior changes to buildings in the Lititz historic area. The applications involve everything from windows, doors, porches, lighting and landscaping to roofs, additions, signs, facades and even colors.
“We provide specific advice for each case,” said Essig. “We can’t tell an owner of a building what the defining character is. We can provide an expertise. We work
through certain guidelines and provide assistance. There are certain guidelines, but it’s a person’s personal property. There’s only so much we can do.”
So how much historic preservation has been performed in Lititz over the years?
“That question can go back to 1757, when the town was founded,” said Essig. “Each generation has interpreted the historic significance of buildings. The more important question may be, ‘What does the future hold for historic preservation?’ History isn’t was; history is. Not all history can be saved.”

Schreiber Gala to be held March 8

is dedicated to
icine Lancaster General Health, Highmark/PennState Health, and Miter Foundation. There will be silent and live auction items, including a seven-day trip to Africa.
A DJ will supply music.
That’s why Pam and her husband, Greg, are co-chairs of the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development’s annual gala.
Schreiber’s 41st annual gala is scheduled for Saturday, March 8, from 5 to 10 p.m. at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton, 2400 Willow Street Pike, Lancaster. The theme is “Havana Nights,” so there will be a Cuban influence, including some Cuban ideas infused into the food.
Local organizations purchase sponsorships, which is a main source of revenue. Schreiber’s Hero sponsors are Faulkner, Penn Med -
The inaugural Philanthropist Award will be presented to Dr. Samuel and Dena Lombardo, huge financial supporters of Schreiber for many years and key supporters of a recent expansion.
A highlight of the gala is the unveiling of the yearly Schreiber Ambassadors, who share their stories of perseverance.
Visit https://schreiberpediatric .org for more information or to purchase tickets to the gala. Tickets may be purchased until Friday, Feb. 14, or until they are sold out. Donations may be made up to March 10.
Pam and Greg, the latter of whom has been a board member for eight years, are in their third year as gala co-chairs. Their older son, Alex, went to Schreiber for 18 years. “That’s one of the reasons we’re involved,” Pam said.
Alex graduated from Temple University. Now 30 years old, he works as an architect. “Alex has physical disabilities, so Schreiber was who we went to for speech, physical and occupational therapy, and that’s what helped him to be able to go to college and be independent,” said Pam. “That’s why my husband and I have an affiliation with them, to give back to an organization that gave to us for so many years.”
School graduates. The Oleksas’ daughter, Ashley, a teacher who was inspired by Alex’s journey, is on the gala committee. The younger son, Nick, lives in Dallas but is returning home to attend the gala.
“It’s our family mission to support this wonderful organization,” Pam said. “And we have a ton of friends who support us in this mission, some on the board and
The Oleksas feel companionship with other families that have the same need. “That’s now our goal as parents, to give back to other families, so they, too, can have the same opportunities with their child to be an independent person in the community, living independently,” Pam said.
The entire family is involved. All three children are Hempfield High

NeurAbilities Healthcare
Every person is different. Our job is not to change individuals. Our job is to remove barriers and help them manage.”
Established in Lancaster in 2022, NeurAbilities Healthcare is a relative newcomer to the local autism treatment scene. NeurAbilities Healthcare, which is located at 1858 Charter Lane, Suite 201, Lancaster, serves its clients through a community-based approach and on a one-on-one basis.
“We want to provide services with excellence,” said Neumann. “Ultimately, we support largely the autism community, people with an ASD diagnosis. You have a lot of individuals who are experiencing different challenges. We like to focus on abilities. We’re supporting patients. We’re supporting learners. We try to capitalize on people’s strengths and focus on what they can do to overcome those challenges. We like to see every individual for who they are.”
The Lancaster office of NeurAbilities Healthcare is set up to be a colorful, warm, inviting space filled with toys and pictures that learners can relate to. More than 10
staff members operate the office, including three certified clinicians.
“In Lancaster, or anywhere you go, there are people who don’t know what autism is,” said Neumann. “The field itself is growing, and there’s always a need for autism services. As we’re working to grow the Lancaster clinic, we want to enhance community engagement. There will be a push in the community to know what autism is and what NeurAbilities does. Hopefully, we’ll be able to improve awareness around that.”
Currently, NeurAbilities Healthcare is serving about 15 local learners, mostly children under the age of 9 from Lancaster County.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in 36 kids in the United States has ASD.
“We provide community-based services,” said Neumann. “We look at what individuals need. We do services in our clinic, in homes and in schools. It’s anybody with challenges impacting their abilities to function. Those are the people who are coming to us for our services.”
Backed by a private equity firm, NeurAbilities Healthcare is a self-sufficient private practice. Some of the services provided
committee.”
The gala is a major fundraiser for Schreiber. “The reason that we do the gala every year is we’re trying to make up for the $2.5 million deficit for services that are provided to the 2,000 children who receive services every year,” Pam said. “Our goal is to provide services to as many children as possible, even if they don’t have any ability to pay, their parents don’t have the ability to pay. We still want to provide care to those children.”
by NeurAbilities Healthcare are covered by Medicaid or health insurance.
“We have individuals who come in who have certain skill deficits in communication, in patterns of behavior, in social interaction,” said Neumann. “We also support individuals who engage in challenging behaviors. When someone is engaging in a behavior, there’s a reason for that. We want to be able to teach a different skill. We’re focused on anything that supports independence.”
“There are other agencies that provide similar community-based skills,” Neumann added. “Some agencies don’t have clinics - they
go into schools and homes - and some only have clinics. But it seems to me that there’s always a need.”
NeurAbilities Healthcare operates a total of three diagnostic centers and 14 applied behavior analysis clinics in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
“We’ve got improved insight into what autism is, and we have more doctors who understand what it is,” said Neumann. “There are more diagnoses. The question we are asking is, ‘What is causing this?’ There has been research into it, but there’s not a hard answer.”

of support from the community,” said Pam. “The generosity of our community been amazing the last two years my husband and I have chaired.”
Pam says the committee is hoping to have 400 individuals attend the event. “Our gala has continued to grow,” said Pam. “We were at a smaller venue two years ago. Last year, we were at the Imperial for our 40th. We needed to find a larger venue. It’s just been very positive, the growth.”
Pam said. “The big thing is we’re so fortunate our local community supports the needs of the local children. Every year, it’s heartwarming for me to see that outpouring of support.” Gala from pg 3
“We have such an outpouring
Pam also credits the Schreiber fund development team consisting of Danielle Sunday and Kristen Masengard. “There is a team of committee members who play a huge role in gathering sponsorships, silent auction items, and live auction items, which are the things that make our event a success,”

It began as a grassroots movement in local neighborhoods, but the altruistic concept has gained traction and has now spread to nearly every corner of the county.
“Our veterans and elderly shouldn’t have to deal with stress,” said Jarvis. “They have doctor’s appointments, and they have direct-care nurses coming to their homes. If they don’t have families, or don’t have families who live nearby, who’s going to help them?”
That’s where Lancaster Snow Angels come in. Persons in need of snow removal reach out to the Angels through phone calls, email
and social media. The response may not be immediate, but no call for help ever goes unanswered.
“It’s mostly individuals who can’t afford private snow removal,” said Jarvis, a resident of Terre Hill. “We’re a faith-based organization. We take everyone at their word. We haven’t really been taken advantage of at this point.”
From modest origins during the pandemic, the Lancaster Snow Angels have grown in number to about 43 shovelers and snow removers - 35 adults and eight junior volunteers. The volunteers work together in teams or crews.

“Most of us are doing it around full-time jobs,” said Jarvis. “Sometimes we call off, and our bosses know what we’re doing. We’re working around obligations. We have everyone prioritized.”
“Shoveling snow is very taxing on your shoulders, arms and back,” Jarvis continued. “The first day after a storm, you’re no good to anyone. There’s a recovery period needed. We’re going two or three days beyond the storm.”
Depending upon the severity of the storm and the amount of snow that has fallen, the Lancaster Snow Angels respond to 130 to 200 requests for help. The Snow Angels’ coverage area currently encompasses the communities of Lititz, Ephrata, New Holland, Columbia, Denver, Strasburg, Paradise, Willow Street, Elizabethtown and portions of the city.
“It is a big county,” said Jarvis. “That’s why it gets so hard sometimes. We’re talking about 10 to 30 addresses per town, or on one Angel’s list. We’re pretty much covering every town in the county. Wherever there’s a need, we fill it. Sometimes it takes three or four days to clear a substantial snow. But we get it done.”
some other very organic sources, the movement has grown steadily.
“Volunteers have come to us through multiple channels, and I’m grateful for that,” said Jarvis. “They are strangers who have become family. We’ve experienced a lot of growth client-wise and volunteer-wise. There’s a great need. It brings the communities together.”
