The thinking way Innovation. It’s what keeps the wheels of progress spinning.

It’s the product of good ideas that drives us to tinker, experiment, and take risks TO keep us constantly moving forward.

We often think of innovation as those “Eureka!” moments popping into our heads when we least expect it… and, in some glorious instances, that’s how it happens. But, more often than not, the great ideas that spark innovation are more than just a solitary, illuminated moment. Most often, the important breakthrough ideas of our lives are built on foundations of community, conversation, and hard work.

ON THE COVER

Great thinkers about thinking tell us that an idea literally spawns from a new network of neurons firing inside the brain. And, in order to best create those internal networks, it helps to network your brain with the outside world. Connected minds are creative minds—and there

is no better example of connected creativity than our very own City, which fosters the spirit of innovation every single day.

From the local craftsman using his simple axe to create beauty to the downtown developer restoring abandoned buildings to life in ways never before considered—they are both rebuilding and re-imagining their City for the future. From the physician who saves and improves lives through technology and compassion to the chef who changes the way people eat with the fresh, flavorful food she makes—each and every one of them is an innovator, moving us forward and enriching our lives. And we honor them for it.

Elements of outdoor living

John McGrann

FOR PENN STONE’S John McGrann,

long-term success is recognizing innovative products in an otherwise traditional business and introducing these new ideas to customers each season.

Since 1914, Penn Stone has supplied brick, stone, and masonry materials to building contractors throughout Lancaster County. Patio at Penn Stone opened in 2005, bringing stylish, highquality outdoor furniture to Downtown Lancaster and adding a retail store to the mostly-wholesale Penn Stone.

The 2013 season brings Penn Stone and Patio together as one brand.

Penn Stone: Outdoor Living—a single destination that is Lancaster’s leading source for all hardscaping and outdoor living products.

Whether working with a discriminating homeowner or their architect, designer, or contractor, Penn Stone’s knowledgeable team guides customers through the design and selection process as they choose from an impressive range of beautiful natural landscape stone, stylish high-quality furniture, and a complete selection of enhancements for outdoor living: outdoor kitchens, firepits and fireplaces, landscape lighting, planters and fountains, and outdoor art and sculpture.

When helping Penn Stone customers create beautiful backyard retreats, John explains, “We’re showing people the ways they can personalize their outdoor space and make it an extension of their home's interior.”

From brick walls to stone fireplaces, permeable pavers to flagstone walks, Penn Stone is the place to go for those with a fine appreciation of form and function—and who understand the unparalleled value of local expertise.

At LancasterHistory.org, we believe in big plans. Big plans give each of us a platform to dream, to imagine, and ultimately to engender in us the ability to take action.

Big plans drive us toward our future, often incrementally and occasionally with gusto. For LancasterHistory.org, the Campus of History has been the Big Plan on our radar for much of the last several years. It has been the culmination of much careful thought and planning, design and—for the last thirteen months—construction.

And now, with all the final touches on floors and walls inside the new wing and plants in the ground, our attention can begin turning to other Big Plans—notably for new exhibitions in the Groff Gallery, new programs in Ryder Hall, and new tours at President James Buchanan’s Wheatland.

2013 will be a year unlike any in our 127year history. Visit the Campus of History at the corner of North President and Marietta Avenues—your home for history in Lancaster County. With a 35,000 squarefoot environmentally sustainable facility that hosts a state-of-the-art family history research center and library, expanded and open collection storage—now the home to Lancaster’s own Heritage Center Collections, an archive with over 1 million historic manuscripts, a 250-seat auditorium, and a multi-purpose visitor Commons all nestled on 10 beautiful acres containing President James Buchanan’s Wheatland and the Tanger Arboretum…there’s something at the Campus of History for everyone!

There is so much in store, and we look forward to sharing it all with you!

We welcome you—come find your place on campus.

Join us for the GALA GRAND OPENING April 27, 2013 lancasterhistory.org or call 717.392.4633 for reservations.

AMERICA'S OLDEST OPERATING FARMERS MARKET

CM

A LANCASTER TRADITION FOR OVER 280 YEARS If spring is all about new beginnings, then Lancaster Central Market has been getting a fresh start for nearly three centuries. Forever entwined with the pulse of the City of Lancaster and the steady pace of the seasons, Lancaster Central Market is a place to be seen—and a place to see.

It’s the people we know and the food we love that keep us returning here week after week, month after month, year after year. As we gaze past rows animated in gladiolas, strawberry rhubarb pie, and greenery, we’re dreaming of how it will all look and taste on our own tables.

Take a moment to meet the standholders who make this piece of Lancaster heritage possible. And take the ultimate lunchbreak—right here in your own downtown.

IN THE WORLD of quality menswear, the pendulum never swings too far from the classics, but Jay Filling is a man who appreciates the subtleties and nuance of men’s fashion.

Understanding that innovation is in the details, Filling’s at College Row has perfected the art of service and old world masterful tailoring, while maintaining a youthful spirit and an eye on the new looks making their way to American shores.

“We go to great lengths to find the very best,” says Jay. “And when you walk through our door, we’re ready for you.”

Family-owned and operated in Lancaster since 1929, Filling’s is anything but a dusty old suit shop.

Following their relocation to College Row in 2007, Filling’s has experienced growth and rejuvenation like none in their 84 years of business.

“We’re carrying more inventory than ever in our history,” says Jay. “You’ll see fresh new goods every time you come in the store, 12 months a year.”

LOCAL INNOVATOR:

Thanks to advances in the field of inventory management, Filling’s has developed an even more detailed understanding of what customers want and when they want it.

“Technology has allowed us to maintain a strict and detailed view of purchasing habits and transformed our operation into a tight, inventory controlled operation,” explains Jay. “It’s also opened up new kinds of communication and opportunities to engage with our customers.”

The attention to detail and unsurpassed professional service at Filling’s, coupled with their warm, fun, and friendly atmosphere, means that the pleasure of shopping local for fine clothing will never, ever go out of style.

Breaking ground in cancer treatment

OPENING

Summer 2013

14 The Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute will be located at 2102 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster

LANCASTER GENERAL HEALTH’S latest endeavor to continually enhance the quality of local healthcare, the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute, is a prime example of community-inspired innovation at its finest.

In planning this Institute, we first consulted our community. There were things we hadn’t thought of, and things that were reinforced.

But most importantly, we listened to their voices.”

- RANDALL OYER, M.D.

“Having this Institute in Lancaster means that people diagnosed with cancer can remain in their home community and still get the very best treatment.”

- JAN BERGEN

During the process of designing the two-story 70,000 square foot Institute to provide advanced technology and integration of cancer care, it was the local community advisory panel that truly helped determine how the new building should look and what it should have inside.

As Oncology Program Director Randall A. Oyer, M.D., explained, “In planning this Institute, we first consulted our community.”

Over the course of six months of meetings, the LG Health team presented lists of questions to the panel, asking for their honest input, and receiving it. As the panel—a diverse group including patients, survivors, and community members from all walks of life—spoke freely about what mattered most to them, the Institute planners listened.

“There were things we hadn’t thought of, and things that were reinforced. But most importantly, we listened to their voices,” said Oyer. “You don’t forget the voices.”

“One thing that we kept hearing from our panel,” said Executive Vice President of LG Health Jan Bergen, “is that waiting for a diagnosis is so universally difficult.”

In response, part of the Institute’s promise to the community is to limit waiting time by producing faster diagnoses.

Within the Institute’s new radiation therapy wing, patients will have access to the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies available that lead to earlier diagnoses, less arduous treatment, and quicker recovery.

But, beyond the game-changing technological innovations, the Institute will also feature innovations designed with patient comfort and emotional well-being in mind. From chemotherapy suites with natural light and outdoor views to a tranquil Healing Garden where patients and family members can find a quiet space between treatments, the Institute will treat the whole person, not just the cancer.

INNOVATION IN THEATRE is a hallmark of the Fulton’s artistic leadership.

In his own words…

Marc Robin, Artistic Director at the Fulton Theatre “There is so much innovation happening at the Fulton these days, from the way we build our productions, to our artistic approach to the shows, to the countless new partnerships that we’ve formed with other theatres and theatre artists around the country. We work very hard every day to become the very best theatre that we can be, which takes a TON of innovation and a TON of collaboration.”

“The Fulton is becoming known as a place that’s breathing new life into the familiar classics. With every play and musical we do, we want to produce theatre that is current, relevant, and makes the audience feel they are experiencing the story for the first time. And that is the reputation we are building nationally—that the Fulton is a place to see the shows people really love, done in a way they’ve never seen them before.”

Taking a creative leap MARC ROBIN Artistic Director at the Fulton Theatre

22 12 North Prince Street » 717.397.7425 » thefulton.org

“This is a very exciting time for the Fulton because we’ve worked really hard over the last three or four years to forge new partnerships around the country.

We hear every day from people all over the nation who want to be a part of what we’re doing. And so we get to combine the efforts of the very best talent here in Lancaster and some of the best theatre artists nationally to create a truly unique Fulton experience. To have access to so much talent from both Lancaster and the theatre community at large is very humbling and thrilling at the same time.”

AUTHENTIC

Crystal Weaver

As owner Crystal Weaver sees it, Prince Street Cafe is an incubator for innovation in Lancaster.

With people gathering in this warm and welcoming space for outstanding beverages and delicious local food, it’s no wonder that stimulating discussions, thoughts, and ideas are always brewing right alongside the rich, gourmet coffee.

“All around the cafe, I can’t help but overhear bits of conversation about great things starting,” says Crystal. “New professional ideas, new businesses, new relationships…good things begin here.”

Moving to Lancaster over 12 years ago from her family farm, Crystal truly loves the vitality of City life. In fact, one of her earliest goals for the cafe was to draw more people Downtown and serve as a launching pad for discovering the City.

In recent years, with increasingly more people visiting her cafe and enjoying all that Lancaster has to offer, “I think we’ve turned the corner on that,” says Crystal.

Following a renovation that has enhanced the relaxed and comfortable environment, Prince Street Cafe features even more spaces for lingering, connecting, and innovating. Crystal celebrates her diverse clientele—from the homeless man buying his cup of coffee with dignity to the high-powered businesswoman making deals over double-espressos—and strives to make each person feel welcomed. “We honor our customers with the work we put into this place,” she explains. “Everything we do is very intentional and we don’t take short cuts. I believe that to be successful in this type of venture, you have to put your heart and soul into it.”

Looking to the horizon, Crystal sees the year ahead as ripe for further innovation and new ideas. And, for this hardworking visionary with a deep love for Lancaster and its people, the future looks promising, indeed.

VOICES Silver City Rodeo SILVER CITY RODEO As their music both reminisces about good times gone by and looks ahead to those yet to come, Silver City Rodeo is at its core a celebration of the American spirit.

In “Stop On By,” the voices and instruments in this seven-member band—including Neil Martin, Andrew Fausnacht, Karl Diffenderfer, Charlie Maxwell, Kirk Krieder, Molly Holden, and Ben Pierson—join together, evoking late night gatherings when friends are relaxed and loose and the labels have been peeled off all the bottles.

Bringing an Appalachian twang to Lancaster’s roots rock scene, Silver City Rodeo originated through two old friends’ love for making music. In 2011, Andrew reconnected with Neil after he returned home to Pennsylvania from the mountains of Kentucky, infusing their alternative country sound with something true and authentic.

In songs like “Being Young,” the band throws off the worries of the day in an ode to youth.

With a two-step beat that transforms the piano into a plinky saloon upright and the violin into a fiddle, the band captures the feel of stomping boots on a sawdustcovered dance floor.

Honoring influences like Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Ryan Adams, and The Decemberists, this group of musical friends has discovered their own way of capturing the glory, pain, history, and joy of an American heritage.

For a nation that both reveres the past and leans eagerly into the future, Silver City Rodeo is creating the perfect soundtrack.

LOCAL INNOVATOR: Tim Balshi “Education, perfect chemistry, the ability to taste, and the highest standards of fresh extra virgin olive oil and premium balsamic are what makes Seasons unique.”

-Tim Balshi

WITH THE CONFIDENCE of a man who knows his product is the finest the world has to offer, Tim Balshi surveys the gleaming stainless steel dispensers— or fusti—at his sleek new Seasons Olive Oil & Vinegar Taproom at 36 West King Street in Downtown Lancaster.

When it comes to fresh olive oils, Tim is a connoisseur who never settles for second best: “Seasons Olive Oil & Vinegar was founded on the principle of quality and freshness with the main focus on offering the best olive oils and balsamic vinegars at fair prices to our customer base.” Carrying an impressive collection of exclusive, fresh extra virgin olive oils and traditional balsamic vinegars, Tim is on a mission to educate Lancaster about the health and culinary benefits of his products.

“Our mission is to teach our customers about what is fresh and what is real—we know our products on a molecular level.”

In the business for 15 years, Tim and his wife Soraya not only own shops in Annapolis, Md., and Bethlehem, they also work with Soraya’s family’s olive grove and mill in Spain.

“Standards for olive oil around the world are extremely low and fraud is rampant. ‘Extra-virgin’ just means it’s free of defects. Can you imagine a stamp of approval in the wine industry that says it’s good enough because it’s not defective?”

“We take that generic classification and educate our customers about our early harvest ultra premium oils’ character and style. Like wine, the difference between varieties is extraordinary.

Our oils are clean and light on the palate—like a fresh fruit juice—which is the way it was meant to be enjoyed.”

A MARRIAGE BETWEEN THE MODERN, playful spirit of Australia and the timeless

sophistication of the clever Fox, this newest downtown addition is bringing a completely new approach to eating well in Lancaster. Inspired and created by native local Julia Garber and her Australian fiancé Colin Morrell, the café-restaurant—set to open later this spring—will merge two personalities into one unique entity.

With a décor designed for quick changes from a casual look for day to one that is more formal for evening, Aussie and The Fox plans for the same space to serve more than one style of dining. In addition, menu selections will give patrons a bridge experience from classic Lancaster favorites to Australian-inspired dishes such as Chicken Meat Pie and the Aussie Burger.

“You could say that Australians are a laid-back people, and that’s the flavor I bring to our restaurant,” says Colin. “Aussie and The Fox will have an almost tangible feel of warmth, relaxation, and friendliness.” Says fiancée Julia: “For me, this is a dream realized.”

After studying for two years at the Design Centre Enmore in Sydney, Julia is thrilled to return home and put her skills to work, creating an innovative space that combines modern and traditional, local and global. Along with her vision for the restaurant’s décor, Julia also brings the support and guidance of her grandfather, Frank Fox, who says with a twinkle: “I’ve never had so much fun as I’ve had this year planning the restaurant.”

Dawn Cox, MSPT, CFMT

Prana Functional Manual Therapy, LLC

LOCAL INNOVATOR: Dawn Cox

“The Prana physical therapists (PTs) are dedicated to life-long learning. Each PT often takes four to five times the amount of continuing education required by the state, which means we are highly specialized with more treatment techniques in our tool bag to effectively treat a wide range of patient populations.”

“Our approach is much more comprehensive, holistic, and hands-on than traditional physical therapy. It may sound cliché, but we treat the WHY, not just the WHAT. We are ‘detectives of the body,’ and it is our job to determine the root of the problem.”

“With the changing climate of healthcare, we at Prana are keen on prevention. We would love to change the perspective of insurance companies that only cover injurydriven scenarios… Our bodies are machines, and it’s always beneficial to get a thorough evaluation before asking your body to do different and possibly more straining activities.

In addition, since most injuries are repetitive stress in nature, we envision regular maintenance appointments throughout the year with Prana’s skilled physical therapists to avoid more serious injuries. This kind of injury-prevention approach could result in only a few appointments per year versus 12 or more for one serious injury. The end result: decreased health-care costs!”

MITCH NUGENT, Producing Director PRiMA Arts Inc.

LOCAL INNOVATOR: Mitch Nugent

PRiMA is built on the foundation of a vintage art form meeting today’s culture.

There are a number of innovations happening in the performing arts and you will likely see them on a PRiMA stage. But even more importantly, the most novel thing we can do is offer a live, irreplaceable moment of pure aesthetic bliss. There’s nothing

like the experience of connecting to a character or the song they are singing on stage—it’s like a warm embrace and a calm voice saying ‘You are not alone.’ This is the power of the arts.

The PRiMA experience is for audiences who don’t settle for what is expected, antiquated, the status quo. Have you ever seen Amish people dancing hip-hop in Penn Square? How about a Little Richard character interrupting a Broadway star? If you haven’t checked us out before, give PRiMA a try.”

Fig®: Tell us about Second Fiction and your journey in launching this game studio.

Allen Clements of Second Fiction: Game development is a fast changing field these days, but as far as I know, we are the only dedicated game studio in Lancaster City. Our foray into video game making has been an exciting one. Having launched our first game as Second Fiction, it seems like we’re really just beginning, even though we’ve been working on a few games now for several months.

Fig®: What’s unique about your studio in the world of gaming?

Allen: Our name, Second Fiction, implies that story is a deep

and integral part of our customers gaming experiences. This will be most apparent in our next release entitled “Happy Tofu Dragon.” We’ve spent a lot of time creating a whole world and delving deep into characters’ inner workings to create a game that plays like a great book for many ages and gamer types.

Fig®: What are the biggest innovations in your studio right now?

Allen: Perhaps the biggest technical innovation has been the ability to develop some of our titles using HTML5. While only one of the tools in our toolbox, this technology allows us to develop a game like “Atomic Robo: Violent Science,” and release it simultaneously on iOS, Android, Windows Surface, Windows Phone, and more. To us, this is the innovation of inclusion.

AXE Man : Jonathan Bancroft Colon Breaking technology down to its most essential elements— human energy, a nice tool, and ingenuity—woodworker and artist Jonathan Bancroft Colon brings a humanist view to the table, both literally and figuratively.

As an artist who first studied sculpture in Michelangelo’s Italian neighborhood, Jonathan was inspired to return home to Lancaster because of this City's long tradition of honoring the work of those who create.

“Four years ago, I began building my home: my staircase, my desk, the trim, the walls, and the bits and pieces of my life that I have created for myself. From my house, I have taken this view of life to my neighbor’s home, my street, Central and Eastern Markets. When I see the beauty of my City, I am inspired to add to its beauty.”

His tool of choice: the humble axe. “The axe is the most capable of tools,” Jonathan explains. “Its cutting edge is a threedimensional extension of my will, and—for my ancient craft— there is not a faster or more accurate tool.”

In one of his latest endeavors, Jonathan has taken on the work of building all new furnishings for Lancaster’s Square One Coffee shop: the tables, the benches, the stools—everything.

“I think of our homes, businesses, and public spaces as the mirrors of ourselves and our culture. I build the tools for everyday living—stages for life to happen.”

We are also working with many publishers to create a screen optimized digital edition, providing content in an easy-to-view form that doesn’t require the reader to zoom in.

Partners in Lancaster’s local innovation A SECOND-GENERATION DENTIST, Dr. Matthew D.

Freedman, D.M.D., learned the most important lessons in dentistry from his father, Dr. Edward S. Freedman, after practicing alongside him for 18 years.

From the late Dr. Freedman, he learned to provide compassionate care, to take the time to connect personally with each patient, and to never forget about those who need a helping hand.

Most importantly, he learned that “attached to every tooth is a human being.”

LOCAL INNOVATION WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE SOMETHING EXCEPTIONAL

Working together with these 4 local businesses, Dr. Freedman’s office understands the power of local talent and professional know-how.

In addition to the caring side of dentistry, Dr. Matthew D. Freedman has also developed a passion for the 21st century technological advances in his field: “In this age of digital files, 3-D imagery, new materials, and even more innovations coming down the line, the practice of dentistry has changed enormously.”

To accommodate the new technology that has become a major part of his practice, as well as to provide new treatment areas for his patients, Dr. Freedman has undertaken major renovations at his 416 North Duke Street office.

A true believer in keeping it local, rebuilding his office space has served as a prime opportunity to support Lancaster businesses: Dr. Freedman purposefully selected his banker, architect, designer, and builder all from the community he loves.

PROGRESSIVE Technology

Honoring the lessons from his father before him while forging his own path to the future, Dr. Matthew D. Freedman is a rare find in this often impersonal world: an exceptionally trained, compassionate professional who truly cares about his community.

SO MUCH MORE than just a path to personal fitness, Evolution helps its students become aware of their strengths, limitations, and most importantly, the greatness that lies within.

A world-class yoga studio incomparable to anything else in Lancaster, Evolution was founded by Lisa Taylor, a Baptiste-Certified instructor with over 5,000 hours of formal training and study.

Offering classes to students of every level—from beginners to advanced practitioners—the style of yoga taught at Evolution is best described as Power Vinyasa. “Vinyasa” is the union of the body and breath, while “Power” refers to the inner strength discovered during the practice. Through fluid motion and attention to the breath, a connection between the mind, spirit, and physical being is cultivated.

One of the newest offerings from Evolution—which not only provides power vinyasa classes, but also teacher training, PEAK yoga for athletes, and customized massage—is their “40 Days to a Personal Revolution” program. Creating clarity of mind, body, and spirit, this program includes daily yoga and meditation, a diet and eating plan, as well as guided self-analysis questions to help root out limiting beliefs and patterns.

Evolution’s instructors and students are not just experiencing personal revolutions, they are also helping to change the world. Through their work with the non-profit Africa Yoga Project based in Kenya, Evolution is helping to transform the lives of impoverished youth.

Lisa Taylor explains, “At Evolution, we’re empowering the individual to empower the community.”

IN LANCASTER

“After nine years of marriage and no children, we pursued our first international adoption from Guatemala. Two more adoptions followed. Recently, we adopted our last child through the County/SWAN foster to adopt program. We give credit to God for putting our family together through adoption. It’s a win/win scenario for everyone! Year after year, Pressley Ridge was there for us all the way—home studies, reports, finalizations, foster to adopt, and post adoption services. We got such quick and excellent service from Pressley Ridge that sometimes we thought we were their only client.”

Patti Connell of Land Transfer/LEADS As president of Land Transfer since 1982, Patti Connell has seen a lot of Downtown Lancaster properties change hands over the years. Not just a foremost local expert in title insurance, Patti also has played an active role in the cultural development of the City.

LOCAL INNOVATOR: Patti Connell

Fig®: How have you engaged in the evolution of Lancaster City?

Patti Connell: I have been involved with LEADS—Lancaster Economic Action for Downtown Success—since its inception 15 years ago. We actively strive to make the City a more attractive place to visit, shop, and live.

Each spring, we hang flower baskets on the lamp posts in Downtown Lancaster and, each fall, we decorate them with holiday wreaths and garlands. LEADS is made up almost entirely of people with full-time working jobs who have taken this on as a second full-time volunteer job. We would love more volunteers and—of course—more sponsors to help pay for these programs.

Fig®: How to do you see the City growing and changing in upcoming years?

Patti: Only getting bigger and better—with more restaurants, more retailers, more downtown living, and more visitors making it a true travel destination.

I would love everyone to jump on the wagon and help downtown succeed—visit the shops, the restaurants, and the galleries that are available in the City. Come downtown and enjoy the history and all of the fabulous events Lancaster City has to offer!

Join us in welcoming our 2013 Social Mission Partners: Children Deserve A Chance, Aaron’s Acres, and The North Museum of Natural History & Science.

CHILDREN DESERVE A CHANCE

AARON’s acres

Within Lancaster City there is a youth haven sitting on 16 West King Street where education counts and leaders are made.

This building is home to Children Deserve A Chance Foundation (CDCF), an organization dedicated to engaging and empowering Lancaster youth with the value of education and hard work. Through mentoring, tutoring, and professional exposure, CDCF provides a holistic approach to developing young public-spirited citizens of scholastic excellence and strong principle. With the ultimate goal of getting students to and through college, CDCF proudly provides merit scholarships, motivational speakers, and educational programs dedicated to literacy enhancement, character development, and entrepreneurship.

Aaron’s Acres provides year-round social and recreational programs to children ages 5-21 with developmental disabilities.

The program allows the participants to enjoy activities that “typical” children experience, including socializing, swimming, bowling, arts and crafts, and games. The organization also provides educational and supportive programs for the entire family, including pampering sessions and educational seminars.

Advocating the philosophy “Embracing Possibilities Beyond Disabilities”—the professionally trained and certified staff supports each child’s unique needs to nurture growth.

The Extraordinary Give

Creative solutions to real problems

In November, the Community Foundation launched the Extraordinary Give, Lancaster County’s first online giving campaign, raising nearly $1.7 million in only 24 hours for local community benefit organizations. For the first time in our community history, nearly 200 organizations came together to crowd fundraise— reaching new donors and promoting philanthropy as a fun, community-wide event.

Keeping Families Together

What is it?

The Ah-Ha Project provides a connecting point for unique voices of community benefit organizations, businesses, educators, and the community to work together to increase our financial stability and quality of life in Lancaster County.

The Ah-Ha Project pushes us to think bigger and challenges us to work smarter. It rallies our community to look for new partnerships and Ah-Ha moments that generate new ideas.

It is a way to take action with creative solutions to the real problems facing our community.

Look for Ah-Ha at work across our community A New Approach to Targeting Obesity In 2011, the Community Foundation partnered with Imani EduTainers African Dance Company on a project to get Lancaster City youth dancing, drumming—and burning calories. While promoting African culture, the Dance Company teaches invigorating dance-fitness moves and is currently compiling a fitness DVD to engage youth in a healthy, active lifestyle.

Safe Families for Children offers a new kind of foster care program focused on keeping families together.

Instead of pulling children away from their troubled family for long periods of time, parents in need are paired with a loving host family that can accept a child into their home whenever a crisis arises. Inspired by a successful national model, Bethany Christian Services now gives parents a safe, reliable place to turn without splintering families.

In Tune with Today In our media-saturated world, video games connect kids to information in a way they recognize. Sertoma Club of Lancaster is working to design a video game addressing the dangers of hearing loss and promoting healthy behaviors. It’s no game to give today’s kids a better chance to be healthy, hearing adults.

Learning Matters Many parents need education and information to help get their families off to a strong start. Doctors at SouthEast Lancaster Health Services now integrate literacy development into primary care visits. During check-ups, doctors advise low-income families about reading aloud and provide children with developmentally appropriate books.

A man of vision ED DROGARIS is leaving his mark on the City of Lancaster— and we’re certainly better for it.

We stopped by to ask him a few questions about what pushes him on from one groundbreaking development project to the next.

LOCAL

INNOVATOR: Ed Drogaris

Fig® What makes Lancaster so special?

Ed Drogaris: Lancaster has a unique patchwork of community attributes that gives it vitality, including an attractive blend of housing stock, historic buildings, creative people, unique character, and work ethic that make it a special place for people to work and live. In addition, we have a number of great “citizen corporations” and venues with the convention center, the ballpark, Millersville University coming downtown, Fulton Theater, LGH, F&M, etc., the list goes on and on. Most cities and towns would be happy to have just one of those resources and Lancaster has many.

More and more people are recognizing this and deciding to come here. The youth in particular want to live in an exciting area and Lancaster is continuing to expand its offerings to provide that level of excitement.

Fig®: How has your company helped create and enhance the City we enjoy today?

Ed: As a company we have participated in the development of over a million square feet, over half of which has been in the City of Lancaster. In the past 35 years, we have either touched, enhanced, or developed over one hundred properties into single family homes, restaurants, apartments, office space, retail space, commercial space, or industrial space.

We also have consulted for a broad range of clients and markets, including public governments and entities at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as private clients including financial institutions and other businesses. While those interactions are not overtly Lancaster-centric, the byproduct has had a positive impact on Lancaster via increased awareness or by maximizing opportunities around Lancaster. We truly believe that a rising tide lifts all boats.

62 33 North Market Street » 717.299.7080 » drogariscompanies.com

Urban development milestones Fig®: You have worked on numerous development projects involving the retrofitting of historic factories and warehouses into contemporary commercial and residential spaces. Does the City continue to have a good supply of these “diamonds in the rough?”

Ed: A lot of buildings and properties have been repurposed and renovated; however, there is still an inventory of buildings and opportunities waiting to be rehabilitated. I’m not quite ready to spill the beans on our next development project, but we have two projects that are in process. At our mixed-use adaptive re-use project, Liberty North, we have commenced construction on our 4th phase—14 more high-end apartments, which we expect to 1997

317 N Queen Street 450 N Prince Street

Liberty Place

have occupied by the end of the summer.

With some other partners, we are working on redeveloping the Lancaster Press building into 17 for-sale loft-style condominiums and about 30 high-end rental apartments. The residences at Lancaster Press will offer premier urban living in Lancaster. On the first floor, there will be restaurant/commercial space to contribute to the streetscape and community.

with it, they are not able to fully appreciate just how special and unique it is. I would like to encourage people to look at the benefits and opportunities that this area offers to its residents and visitors and not take what we have for granted. I also want to encourage people to think outside the box and be creative. We need to look at all of the assets in our community and enhance them and grow them. There are some things that that could be better in our community, and let’s work together to make that happen.

Everyone looks at things differently: some say, “Is this all there is?” and we like to say, “This is what it could be.”

Fig®: Is there anything else about development in Lancaster City that you’d like to share with Fig® readers?

Ed: I came to Lancaster in the early seventies and saw a gem in this city. Sometimes when people grow up in a place and are too familiar

That’s why we started Honest Eyes.

A home of great vision Pictured AMANDA BARBER and BECKY BLIMLINE

Beyond dilapidated, the

house that Peter Barber of Two Dudes Painting Co. invited his daughter, Amanda, to view back in late 2011 was the stuff of nightmares. With a destroyed roof and strewn with detritus from the previous occupants, the house would have made most people spin around on one heel and run.

BEFORE

The row house as it was left by previous owners— covered in layers of refuse (including a surprise dog skeleton) and strips of peeling paint.

But, looking past the debris, Peter was able to convince his daughter of this 1905 row home’s unique potential. Trusting his vision, Amanda BEFORE PHOTOS BY TOM BEJGROWICZ

purchased the condemned house through the City’s Redevelopment Authority.

And then the real work began.

Over the course of a long weekend with grueling 12hour days, a team of family and friends hauled out three 40-yard dumpsters full of junk. Their most unnerving find was a canine skeleton looked eerily like something from an archeological dig.

With John Hughes Construction Co. overseeing the technical aspects of the open floor

plan, Team Amanda spent the next six months pouring blood, sweat, and tears into the house. The final result: a clean industrial style featuring reclaimed wood, exposed brick, and metal—the perfect backdrop for pops of bright color and creativity.

“This house is even better than what I dreamed,” says Amanda, adding: “I wouldn’t have been able to do this without my parents.”

JOHN MEEDER and the City he loves have a lot in common. Both have a burning ambition for urban revitalization, and neither has unlimited resources to do what needs to be done. Most of the projects taken on by Meeder are blighted or have sat abandoned for years. Projects like these can take years to develop, requiring several sources of financing, the collaboration of many people and government agencies, and—most importantly—creativity and perseverance: Arch Street Commons - Once a crumbling, contaminated warehouse, this urban development is now a highly desirable and livable anchor development for the west side of Lancaster.

City Crossings – Formerly the burned-out Haddad Shoe Factory, developing this location required 11 sources of funding and extensive cooperation with City officials and other entities.

Building for the future on the foundation of the past JOHN MEEDER, owner of Meeder Development Corporation

The New School of Lancaster - In restoring the blighted building in front of the present day Clock Towers, Meeder designed a plan for parking and access through the timbers without destroying the character of this historic property. >>>

Innovative. Involved. Inclusive.

Pastor, Bright Side Baptist Church

The son of a preacher, Rev. Butcher has been in the pulpit since childhood. From humble beginnings (six people and $57), he and his visionary church have created a thriving congregation and nonprofit community center that is a model for urban ministry. And now, 30+ years into his pastorate, Rev. Butcher has a new title: doctoral student at Lancaster Theological Seminary. How does he fit it all in? “It would be burdensome if it weren’t so pleasurable,” he says humbly. “You can teach an old dog new tricks.”

Minimally invasive procedures can be used to treat a variety of spinal conditions including scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, facet arthritis, traumatic fractures, and disc herniation while providing an array of benefits to the patient. Percutaneous Spinal Fusion is a minimally invasive, but technically demanding procedure that uses fluoroscopy (television x-ray) to place screws into vertebral pedicles through a very small incision to stabilize the spine. Procedures like this are best performed by experienced surgeons like James Thurmond at Lancaster NeuroScience & Spine Associates. Minimally invasive techniques are both effective and much less invasive to the spinal muscles than open surgery resulting in less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and the ability for patients to return to work sooner.

orthodontic excellence

INNOVATIVE CARE Providing care in Lancaster County since 1921, Long Orthodontic Associates has over 90 years of experience in caring for generations of patients. With Dr. Manish Lamichane, Dr. Eric Howard, and their team providing exceptional orthodontic care, patients of all ages can be confident they are receiving the very best.

At the forefront of their field, Drs. Lamichane and Howard are both world-class orthodontists whose expertise is sought after by dental professionals from around the globe.

Using state-of-the-art orthodontic technologies, LOA is not only able to offer patients a choice among traditional braces, ceramic braces, SureSmile, and Invisalign clear aligners, but it’s also the first and only orthodontic practice in the area offering 3D imaging and diagnostic services.

Far from the dark ages of braces that many adults remember, today’s orthodontic experience often involves much less time in the chair and significantly better results. For example, LOA’s SureSmile system features robotically-shaped titanium wires that more effectively direct each tooth to its prescribed position, allowing for excellent results and shorter treatment time.

Another exciting innovation at LOA is the iTero Scanner: a non-invasive device that maps a patient’s mouth using digital photography, producing a highly accurate 3D model without the discomfort associated with traditional impressions and plaster molds.

“We utilize technology to provide faster more accurate results,” explains Dr. Howard, “but we also remain true to our core mission to provide compassionate care to every patient we treat.”

LOCAL INNOVATORS: Drs. Howard & Lamichane

COMMuNITY SUpporter

Dr. Lamichane adds, “3D planning has changed our profession in so many ways.

For our patients, it provides the opportunity to preview their treatment result near the beginning of treatment. This is an important part of the patient-care experience that you receive at LOA.”

john G. Swanson, president of Willow Valley Retirement

Management, firmly believes that age doesn’t have to determine someone’s quality of life. Fully embracing a philosophy of “ageless thinking,” John has turned conventional thinking about retirement living on its head.

LOCAL INNOVATOR: John G. Swanson

“We’ve designed Willow Valley Retirement Communities for people, not seniors,” says John.

Providence Park—the latest innovation and expansion in a community that never does the same thing twice—will offer a vibrant new chapter in retirement where the living is stylish and the neighbors are extraordinary.

CS: Willow Valley *Profile

Set on 25 scenic acres, Providence Park is located just four miles south of Downtown Lancaster—connecting residents with the cultural, educational, dining, and entertainment opportunities available in the City while surrounding them with the resort-like environment of Willow Valley.

Incorporating the very best of Willow Valley with the very latest research and trends for a new generation of retirement-aged adults, Providence Park will prominently feature a 30,000 square foot clubhouse to support an active, intergenerational lifestyle. Among its array of amenities, the clubhouse will feature a bowling alley, indoor golf simulators, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and even a vintage arcade—where residents can share classic amusements with their children and grandchildren.

When Pat Carlisle first walked through the entrance of the Susquehanna Waldorf School, he immediately felt right at home.

“I knew my daughters would be cared for—and I was right. They have learned, grown, and matured into the young women they are today.”

“There’s really nothing like it,” says Carlisle, now serving as president of the school’s Board of Trustees.

“So much of what they do at the Waldorf School is teaching children to be who they were meant to be.

It’s about developing the whole child.”

Founded in 1987, this PA-licensed private school rooted in the Waldorf educational philosophy has as its mission “to provide a nurturing and challenging environment that inspires our students to reach the highest levels of intellectual, spiritual, artistic, and physical achievement.”

Though rich with innovation, this type of learning isn’t new. For nearly 100 years, the Waldorf curriculum has offered a rigorous classical education balanced with imagination and creativity.

In addition, Susquehanna Waldorf is proud to institute a dramatic reduction in tuition for the upcoming academic year, making this unique and creative school available to as many children as possible.

BREAKING OUT OF SCI-FI and into the real world, the engineering geniuses at BMW have once again achieved a mission impossible: reinventing the automobile.

After evolving its electric-drive technology, BMW will begin rolling out its eagerly anticipated i3 by the end of this year.

Part of BMW's “Project i,” the new electric car will be the company’s first zero emissions mass-produced vehicle with an electric powertrain, and first to have most of its internal structure and body made of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic.

CS: Faulkner BMW *Profile

“This is ‘blow your mind’ stuff,” says Ricky Wood, general manager of Lancaster’s own Faulkner BMW. “At its core, BMW is an engineering company, and BMW doesn’t copy anyone else’s technology—we make our own.”

Designing this future-intensive car from the ground up, BMW engineers scrapped everything—including the internal combustion engine—and created an electric car that has no place for gasoline, rethinking the entire automotive concept.
