A Toast to Tomatoes

or two days each July, the “community” part of Washington Boro Community Park comes into the spotlight. The Washington Boro Tomato Festival kicked off last weekend and will continue on Saturday, July 18, at the park, 2010 River Road. Food will be served beginning at 3 p.m., with music and other activi-

Tomatoes are the star of the show, with bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches a top seller, said Dick Schock, a member of the Blue Rock Fire Rescue Support Group, which orga-

The Edible Classroom

BY LOGAN MOYER

The Edible Classroom believes that learning at school does not end in the classroom.

Outside of the physical buildings at schools within Penn Manor School District, Columbia Borough School District and the School District of Lancaster, school gardens exist where students plan, plant, care for and harvest vegetables.

Per its website, the Edible Classroom “cultivates academic achievement, healthy lifestyles and environmental stewardship through garden-based, experiential learning.”

“It’s like an on-site field trip where students come out for their lesson,” said co-founder and executive director Grace Julian. “It’s an opportunity for them to experience in a hands-on way all three parts of our mission statement.”

“It’s the sandy soil,” he said. “These tomatoes are sweet and juicy. They’re a more juicy, more

“We use about 400 pounds of tomatoes,” Schock said.

Additional food for sale will include hamburgers, hot dogs

Funk’s Riverview Greenhouse will sell pies and fresh fruit, and both milkshakes and french fries will be for sale by vendors.

“This year, we’re also going to have green tomato pie,” Schock

For one day in July, Columbia Animal Shelter will trade meows for motors. The 8th annual Cruisin’ for Cats Car & Bike Show will be held on Saturday, July 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the shelter, 265 S. 10th St., Columbia.

The event will feature a wide variety of vehicles, including classic cars, custom cars, trucks and motorcycles. Guests can enjoy live music from Tate Lehman & The Blue Chilis, food vendors, basket giveaways, a 50/50 giveaway and cash prizes for winning vehicles. Gift bags will be provided to the first 50 registrants.

“In past years, we’ve welcomed a wide variety

The Edible Classroom, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 2017 by Julian and Beth Horst, both residents within the Penn Manor School District. Shortly after, the school garden program began at the aforementioned trio of school districts.

“We found that, as you can imagine, our administrators and our teachers are focused more on the classroom learning inside of the school building,” Julian said. “We found our ability to support and reinforce what the students are learning inside the classroom … to be very valuable.”

The organization does not have a physical, brick-and-mortar location but instead operates out of its school gardens. It has a Columbia mailing address, but Julian would love to see the organization expand beyond its current three districts.

A Classic Rivalry

BY LOGAN MOYER

Cowboys and Eagles, a classic rivalry. But this game doesn’t take place in Philadelphia or Dallas, Texas. It hails from the Manheim Brethren in Christ Church.

The Chuckie Magee Flag Football and Cheerleading League, a Lancaster-based nonprofit that offers a competitive avenue for individuals between the ages of 18 and 40 with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is set to kick off its sixth season in July.

The league offers two teams, the Cowboys and the Eagles. The two teams will play a 10-game season that will begin on Saturday, July 25, and run through Saturday, Oct. 17. All games will be played on Saturdays, and most will be

played at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church, 54 N. Penryn Road, Manheim. Select games (Aug. 22 and 29) will be played at Lancaster Brethren in Christ Church, 1865 Fruitville Pike, Lancaster. “It’s like sandlot football,” said league founder Randy Samuels. “We show up and we play. There’s always shenanigans going on, a lot of fun and sneaky stuff being done. ... They come out, they have fun and get to exercise.”

Naturally, most of the league’s participants are fans of the Eagles. Samuels, who coaches the Cowboys, is a diehard Dallas fandrawing the ire of many of his players.

The league’s cheerleaders are referred to as “Lancaster’s Sweethearts,” a registered trademark

owned by Samuels. The term references the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, who are known as “America’s Sweethearts.”

“I get booed so much, and I egg them on,” Samuels said. “The cheerleaders will play that ‘Fly Eagles Fly’ song a couple times a game. As the president of the league this year, I issued an executive order banning that, but they will ignore me.”

The league is completely free for participants and is funded through sponsorships from local businesses. About 30 individuals took part in the league last year. Samuels had hoped to have four teams this season but decided to stick with only the Cowboys and Eagles.

Samuels obtained nonprofit status for the league in December. After the last

game of the season, there will be a celebratory awards banquet.

The league is still searching for sponsorships, as well as volunteers. Volunteers assist with every aspect of the game, including serving as a “buddy” for the more challenged playing members of the league.

“The buddy will catch the ball for them, hand it to them and guide them towards the end zone,” Samuels said.

The league is named after Chuckie Magee, a Lititz resident who passed away

in 2015 after a fight with undifferentiated pleomorphic bone sarcoma. Magee, a 2013 graduate of Warwick High School, was heavily involved with challenger baseball and football.

The league’s logo is modeled after Magee and uses the color red, which was his favorite color.

“Doctors (said) he wasn’t going to live to be a year old,” Samuels said of Magee. “If you knew Chuckie, you loved Chuckie. Everybody loved Chuckie.”

Registrations for the league are open. Samuels asks that those interested sign up as soon as possible, giving the league a chance to order shirts before the July 25 kickoff. Those interested in signing up to play, volunteer or sponsor the league should visit www.recleague.net/ leagues/cmffl or “The Chuckie Magee Flag Football & Cheerleading League” on Facebook or email Samuels at cmffl@ ptd.net.

Foundation Receives Funding to Expand Program

Touchstone Foundation has been awarded $255,766 through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) Violence Intervention and Prevention (VIP) grant program to support the expansion and strengthening of its Rise Above program.

Launched in 2022, Rise Above was created to help eliminate stigma surrounding youth mental wellness while empowering young people with tools for resilience, self-awareness, and advocacy. The program brings mental wellness programming and youth mentorship to Lancaster County schools for students in grades seven through 12 as well as to young adults ages 18 to 26 in community groups.

The program seeks to create inclusive spaces that foster belonging, reduce stigma, and encourage

open conversations about mental health. One of its goals is to reduce long-term risk factors associated with trauma and mental health challenges. Through creative expression and guided conversations, students may build emotional awareness, develop coping skills, and gain confidence to advocate for themselves and others.

The consistent presence of a caring, supportive adult is a protective factor for many childhood adversities. Supportive adult mentors can protect and buffer children from toxic stress, help children heal and build resiliency, and inspire young people to build strong relationships.

Through the recent competitive award, Rise Above will expand its reach significantly, with a goal of serving 1,120 Lancaster

At the school gardens, students are involved in every step of the cultivation process. Students plant the vegetables, watch them grow, harvest them and then can eat them, something that Julian highlighted as being incredibly important.

“We find that if the student is involved in the process, they’re more inclined to try the vegetable,” Julian said. “Even just the visual of where that cucumber came from, it being from their school garden, is a familiar place and a positive touch.”

The gardens reinforce the state’s Science, Technology & Engineering, and Environmental Literacy & Sustainability (STEELS) standards, which were adopted in 2023 to guide the study of the natural and humanmade world.

Within Penn Manor School District, gardens are currently located at Central Manor Elementary School and Hambright Elementary

School. At Columbia, gardens are located at Columbia High/Middle School, Columbia Early Learning Center and Park Elementary School.

In May, The Edible Classroom had the opportunity to present at Pennsylvania’s third Farm to Child Nutritional Summit in Philadelphia at Bartram’s Garden and Sankofa Community Farm. The organization was invited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), of which it was a grant recipient last year.

“They invited two grant recipients to report on what good things we were able to accomplish thanks to the USDA grant funding,” Julian said. “Our portion of the presentation was sharing how four schools in our partnerships benefited greatly from additional local produce given to the students, as well as lessons and informal opportunities for the students to engage in their garden.”

Dyslexia Center Holds Graduation

The Children’s Dyslexia Center of Lancaster held its 21st annual Celebration of Achievement on June 7 at Stayer Hall, located on Millersville University’s campus. Seven graduates from the program were in attendance: Chloe Britcher-Walters, Weston Elmore, Xander Hester, Bryce Moyer, Cian Rice, Rowan Suckau, and Olivia Walburn.

Heather Brown, director of the center, presented each graduate with a certificate; a personalized booklet of his or her reading journey; and an autograph bear, the mascot adopted by the Children’s Dyslexia Centers Inc., as a keepsake. Students presented words of thanks to their tutors and the board of governors for the services they received. The event concluded with an ice cream social.

The center, sponsored by Scottish Rite Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, is one of six Children’s Dyslexia Centers in Pennsylvania; the sites provide tutoring at no charge to children from elementary through high school who fit a dyslexic profile. The center recently moved from downtown Lancaster to Millersville’s

The Edible Classroom is always searching for both volunteers and community partners, Julian said. Those interested should visit www.theedibleclass room.org.

“The beauty of our spring is setting us up for the beauty of the fall,” Julian said. “Every lesson in the spring is planting some type of seed, and then every lesson in the fall is harvesting those mature plants.”

A variety of carnival-style games will be available, with a wide range of prizes.

People will have the opportunity to enter to win an e-bike, a grand prize of $500 or one of five $100 prizes.

Kracker Beez will provide live music.

“People will sit out and listen to the music all night long,” Schock said, encouraging attendees to bring their own chairs.

The festival is a fundraiser for the Blue Rock Fire Rescue, which covers 55 square miles of Manor Township and Millersville Borough, including six miles of the Susquehanna River.

Highville, Millersville and West Lancaster companies to form Blue Rock Fire Rescue 15 years ago, he explained.

Pulling off a successful event requires a team of volunteers, which includes both members of the Blue Rock Fire Rescue Support Group and the wider community. Volunteers from Penn Manor FFA, the Washington Boro Historical Society and other groups give their time and talent to make the event fun for everyone, Schock said.

History Program Scheduled

The Lower Susquehanna Archaeological Society, Chapter 28 of the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology, will host a program on Sunday, July 19, at 2 p.m. at Blue Rock Heritage Center, 2251 River Road, Washington Boro.

“It’s a lot of work to set this up,” he said. “We’ll start setting up on the Monday after the 4th of July weekend, and we’ll be here all week getting ready. On Thursday each week, we’ll probably cook about 75 pounds of bacon.”

Many people come out for both weekends to enjoy food, fellowship and live music at the event, which will be held rain or shine.

“This festival has been going on for over 75 years,” Schock said, noting that the support group has not organized it that long. It was started by a local fire company, then run by the local Lions Club for years and then managed by the Washington Boro Fire Company before that company merged with the

“The festival is a great local community event,” said committee member Kathy Fry. “It’s a fun time with family and friends.”

Program to Focus on Removing Stitches

Lancaster Area Sewing Network (LASN) will present “Undoing Things” on Monday, July 27, at 7 p.m. at Lancaster Friends Quaker Meeting, 110 Tulane Terrace, Lancaster.

Carrie Rhinier will share techniques for removing many types of stitches without damaging the project. Rhinier will also discuss tools that can be used to safely rip out stitches and how to avoid the stitch-ripstitch cycle. Attendees will be given the opportunity to try their hand in undoing stitches. They should bring a pair of snips with a fine point, as well as a seam ripper.

Rhinier has been sewing for 51 years. She has a Bachelor of Science in interior design and has accumulated a wealth of sewing experience through various avenues, including operating her own sewing and alterations business for the last 27 years. She is retired from Sight &

Sound Theatres, where she was a sample maker. She has volunteered as a sewing instructor for a Lebanon 4-H program for the last nine years.

Guests may register for the program on arrival. There is a fee for nonmembers, payable by cash or check only.

LASN’s 2026 theme is “Sewing Revolution,” with all monthly meetings touching on an aspect of the topic.

LASN is a group for people who love to sew. Its members range from beginners to intermediate hobbyists to professional dressmakers. The group’s main focus is fitting and construction skills related primarily to garment sewing. It meets at 7 p.m. on the fourth Monday of most months, with Zoom meetings held during the winter. Retreats, service projects, and a fabric swap are optional activities. For more information, contact lancastersews@gmail.com.

Teresa St. Angelo, portraying Martha Washington, will give attendees a glimpse of private life and Washington’s role in supporting her husband and the nation. Afterward, St. Angelo will present a slideshow, “From Valley Forge to the Monmouth Battlefield: The Road to Victory in the American Revolution.” The program will follow George Washington and his Continental Army from the brutal winter at Valley Forge to the decisive clash at Monmouth, N.J. The program will explore how perseverance, leadership, and training transformed a struggling army into a force that stood toe-to-toe with the British. Topics will include life in the winter encampment; training, discipline, and strategy; soldiers’ stories of sacrifice and survival; and the Battle of Monmouth and its legacy.

of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles and RVs,” said Tammy Jalbert, executive director of Columbia Animal Shelter.

“The variety of vehicles is one of the things that makes the event fun for both participants and spectators.”

Proceeds from the show will benefit the shelter.

“Visitors will have the opportunity to tour our facility, meet adoptable pets, learn more about our programs and services and connect with fellow animal lovers and automotive enthusiasts,” Jalbert said. “Spectators are welcome to attend free of charge and walk through the show to enjoy the vehicles and activities.”

Opened in 2019, Columbia Animal Shelter provides opportunities for people to give cats a forever home, but it also offers additional services.

“The Columbia Animal Shelter is much more than an adoption center,” Jalbert explained. “In addition to helping homeless animals find loving homes, we offer a wellness clinic, a spay/neuter clinic, community outreach programs and educational events throughout the year. We are committed to supporting both pets and the people who care for them. It’s also important for people to know that you do not have to be a Columbia resident to utilize many of our services.”

A portion of the proceeds from Cruisin’ for Cats will

be used toward the development of an interactive educational unit that will enhance the shelter’s community outreach efforts.

“Funds also help support ongoing community programs such as Check the Chip stations and our Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program,” Jalbert shared. “Additionally, proceeds help the Columbia Animal Shelter continue providing care for homeless animals and vital services to pet owners throughout our community.”

Jalbert encourages everyone to come out for a fun day to support the shelter.

“Whether you’re a car enthusiast, motorcycle lover, animal advocate or simply looking for a fun way to spend a summer afternoon, Cruisin’ for Cats has something for everyone,” she said. “You’ll enjoy great vehicles, live music, food, (giveaways) and the opportunity to support a great cause. Best of all, admission is free for spectators, so bring your family and friends and spend the day helping animals while having a great time. ... Every participant and attendee helps us continue making a positive impact on animals and pet owners in our region.”

People are encouraged to preregister their vehicles, and there is a discount for registering through noon on Friday, July 24. On-site registration will also be available. To preregister, visit https:// bit.ly/4ernJFY.

County students and young adults by 2029.

With support in 2024 from the Lancaster County Community Foundation’s $35,000 Shaping Tomorrow Next Generation Grant, part of a broader $1 million investment into Lancaster County initiatives, Touchstone Foundation is expanding Rise Above into Lancaster County schools through school-day workshops, after-school programming, summer intensives, and community-based groups for young adults. Additional support for Rise Above was also received in 2025 from the City Limits Foundation, helping strengthen the program’s long-term impact and reach.

With the new VIP grant funding, Touchstone Foundation is expanding Rise Above into Lancaster County schools, serving students in grades seven through 12 during the school day and through after-school programming.

Conflict Resolution Program Set

The expansion also includes new opportunities for young adults through community-based groups, extending support beyond high school.

A key component of the expansion is the development of a Safe Space Facilitator training program. This initiative will equip mental health professionals, artists, and community members - as well as Rise Above graduates - with the tools to serve as mentors. Training includes

Youth Mental Health First Aid, trauma-informed care, and child abuse prevention and reporting.

The program expansion has also received recognition and support from Pennsylvania leaders and community partners who continue to advocate for youth mental wellness, violence prevention, and mentorship initiatives across the commonwealth.

UDS Holds Fundraising Gala

United Disabilities Services Foundation (UDS) recently held a gala with the theme “Beyond 60: Your Impact. Our Journey.” The sold-out event brought together 500 guests for a night dedicated to service, community connection, and philanthropy.

The event was defined by teamwork and storytelling. When the scheduled keynote speaker, John Kruk, was unable to attend due to illness, Teresa Rineer and the UDS Gala Committee pivoted to keep the event on track. Stepping in for their friend and teammate, Mickey Morandini and

Tommy Greene - members of the 1993 Phillies National League Championship team - joined Dave Spadaro for a fireside chat and a VIP meet-and-greet with supporters.

The program also included on-stage conversations with those directly impacted by UDS. Attendees heard from Brendan Fry and his sister Julianna, representing the Challenger Football and Cheerleading Program, as well as Griffin Swan, who was joined by his parents and his service dog, Jackson, from the UDS Service Dogs program.

The gala raised nearly

$540,000 via sponsorships, ticket sales, and an auction, all of which will fund UDS’ mission to deliver support and personal care to people with disabilities and older adults.
