Flood damage at the Donegal Fish & Conservation Association’s trout nursery
n July 14 this past summer, Mount Joy borough received more than seven inches of rain in less than five hours. Some homeowners in the west end of the borough reported more than five feet of water in their houses, and emergency responders conducted 16 water rescues while also fielding more than 30 requests for flooded basement assistance. The storm also impacted the Donegal Fish & Conservation Association (DFCA), which has a trout nursery along Pinkerton Road in East Donegal Township, resulting in a severely eroded entrance to the nursery and leading to a wall collapse. The week of the flood, DFCA was scheduled to receive its allotment of fingerling trout from the PA Fish & Boat Commission, Cooperative Trout Division, but members of the association worried delivery would not be possible under the damaged conditions. “With the rental of a skid loader with bucket and several ton of stone delivered, members of the DFCA worked feverishly to repair the entrance as well as the concrete block raceway wall that had collapsed during the flood so that fingerling trout could be delivered,” shared Dave Eichler, See Flood pg 4

Leo’s Helping Paws Is All About the Dogs BY GEORGE DEIBEL

It’s fitting that the next fundraiser for the Leo’s Helping Paws nonprofit group will be held on Valentine’s Day. That’s emblematic of the love Kathy Styer and Beth Buchter have for dogs. Styer and Buchter co-founded Leo’s Helping Paws in July 2014. The pair were volunteers for another rescue organization before electing to branch out on their own.

“At that time, we were seeing a lot of need,” said Styer, who is the president. “There were more rescues that were being formed, and the need for vet care was the No. 1 issue with all the dogs that they would rescue, and it’s costly. In order to get them adopted, first they had to be vetted, because that’s protocol for a rescue.” Leo’s Helping Paws’ mission is to provide financial assistance for veterinary care to nonprofit all-volunteer dog rescue groups in Pennsylvania and neighboring Beth Buchter (left) and Kathy Styer

Home Is Where Servant Stage’s Heart Is BY JEFF FALK
Everybody deserves a place to call their own. Everybody needs a home. Servant Stage’s new home is also the nonprofit’s first. Not only are Servant Stage’s new digs a product of growth, the location is also a space where it can continue to grow. “It’s almost hard to put into words,” said Johnathan Bauer, the founder and executive director of Servant Stage. “It hits every once in a while. This is a home. Like, ‘Wow, this is for real.’ It hasn’t fully sunk in yet. There are a lot of firsts in this place that are really special.” Following 12 years of serving the Lancaster County community through theater and the performing arts, Servant Stage moved into its new headquarters at 1842 William Penn Way, Lancaster, in East Lampeter Township in October. Up until that point, Servant Stage had been doing the best it could with what it had, while the mission around it was flourishing. “It’s so nice to have our own space,” said Bauer. “It’s fun every day. It’s nice to be able to have a conversation and not have to reply to an email. Having no space for so many years, you get used to it. A lot of it was working from home. We were storing sets and props in basements, garages and barns. Efficiency is a huge part of what we do. We were doing so many shows that it wasn’t sustainable.” Servant Stage’s new home base is eight rooms and 8,500 square feet in size, 5,000 of which is dedicated to a workshop, warehouse and storage space and 3,500 of which is being used as offices and for conferences and meetings.

Home from pg 1 The space can also accommodate smaller auditions and rehearsals for the more than 15 productions and 190 performances that the organization has been staging each year. “We have been looking and actively exploring spaces for a workshop and theater for like six or seven years now,” said Bauer. “Back in May, we came across this place in Greenfield, and our Realtor connected us with the landlord. We knew from the very first visit that it checked all of the boxes. The lease was signed in a month or so. This kind of fell into our lap.” Prior to its recent move, Servant Stage was practicing and rehearsing for performances at Lancaster Alliance Church, at 210 Pitney Road,
Lancaster, not far from its new home. Depending upon the demands of each production, some of those rehearsals will continue to be conducted at the church. “The focus of the mission is on service,” said Bauer, a resident of Strasburg. “The idea of using the performing arts and theater to serve the community, that’s been the mission from the very beginning and that’s why we chose that name. We love theater and the community, and there’s both a why and a how behind it.” “With our mission of bringing shows into the community, we’ve been nomadic,” continued Bauer. “Everyone on the team is very flexible and good at problem-solving.

requests for performances. There are certainly plenty of challenges, but we haven’t gotten to a place where we’ve had to cut back on shows because we don’t have performing places.” “(Operating our own theater) is definitely a dream as well,” added Bauer. “We would love to have a theater to do these shows. It’s still a dream down the road that would make more performances possible, but it’s one step at a time.” Servant Stage, which is funded through freewill offerings received at performances, business partnerships, sponsorships, individual donations and grant funding, is operated by seven full-time employees, six part-timers and a host of volunteers.

assisting nursery manager, who noted that the cost to rent the skid loader and purchase the stone was $1,000. “Thankfully, fingerling trout were delivered the next week, are currently being fed, are growing in size and will be ready to be stocked this coming spring.” Initially, the DFCA had to use proceeds it acquired from the March 2025 Spring Sports Show to repair the flood damage. Then, the team behind the Taste of Mount Joy Cruisin’ Cuisine stepped in to help, donating $1,500 in proceeds from the July community event to the DFCA in late November. “Funds of the DFCA are reserved initially to assist in paying for trout feed, insurance, electric fees and lease of the property,” Eichler said. “So, the $1,500 donation assisted in replenishing these funds.” Ferne Silberman, representing the Taste of Mount Joy committee, noted that a recipient of the car show funds had not been identified before the event. “When the flooding occurred and we knew Donegal Fish & Conservation would need funds, the decision was made,” she said, noting that the other recipients of the funds from the car show were Friends of Donegal, The Mount Joy Rotary Club, The Lions Club and the Kiwanis Club of Norlanco-Rheems. “I was pleasantly shocked and grateful, grateful in that relief was going to come in and help us recover,” Eichler said of learning the group wanted to support DFCA this way. “This is so nice of them to want to do this.” The DFCA was established in

1965 by Ken Depoe, who passed away in May of 2025. He was a 40-year teacher for the Donegal School District. “Aside from his industrial arts teaching and basketball coaching duties at Donegal High School, he began a fly-tying club in which his students tried their newly created flies in catching trout in nearby Donegal Creek,” Eichler remarked. “Today, the DFCA continues the legacy and perpetuity of Ken Depoe in raising and stocking more than 3,500 trout annually in the Donegal Creek and surrounding watersheds.” Along with Eichler, DFCA officers include president Chris Brandt, vice president Charlie Hower, secretary Andy Gladfelter, treasurer Halley (Lexie) Tierney and nursery manager Jeremy Henry. The DFCA’s annual budget includes $4,000 in fish food alone. “The $1,500 donation from the Taste of Mount Joy car show to the DFCA is definitely appreciated,”
Eichler said. “As a nonprofit, the DFCA relies on donations, memberships and proceeds from its annual Spring Sports Show to continue its purpose. As a PA Fish & Boat Commission Cooperative Trout Nursery, the mission of the DFCA aids in the preservation and care of the Donegal Creek and raises, rears and stocks trout in the Donegal Creek and other local creeks where the angling public has access.” The Spring Sports Show will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 7, at the Maytown Fire Company. It will feature vendors of fishing, hunting, trapping and outdoor equipment, as well as presentations from Critter Connections, helping children and adults understand and appreciate reptiles, amphibians, insects and small mammals. Tickets will also be sold for meals provided by Harvey’s BBQ. For more information on DFCA, visit https://donegalcreek.word press.com.
Mount Joy Rotary Plans Presentation The Rotary Club of Mount Joy will host a presentation at its lunch meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 13, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at The Gathering Place, 6 Pine St., Mount Joy. Former Donegal High School (DHS) student Sarah Brallier and her former DHS history teacher, Elizabeth Lewis, will present “Beneath the Snow of the Baugnez Crossroads: Uncovering the Malmedy Massacre,” based on a documentary that Brallier and a classmate, Laura Hess, created in 2013. The presentation will tell the story of Mount Joy resident Harold Billow at the WWII massacre on Dec. 17, 1944. The documentary includes interviews with Cpl. Harold Billow. The Rotary Club of Mount Joy is raising funds for a memorial for Billow and his nine Lancaster comrades who were with him on the day of the massacre. In the massacre, 84 soldiers from across the nation were killed, including
five of the 10 soldiers from Lancaster. Billow was the last living survivor of the Malmedy Massacre; he passed away on May 17, 2022. He told his story to many over the years. Brallier and Hess’ documentary, with Lewis’ guidance, was prepared for a National History Day competition and placed in the top six in all of Pennsylvania. There is a fee for the optional lunch.

rescues to take the dogs when they’re done breeding them,” she said. In October, there was a rescue in Delaware that rescued 61 dogs from a breeder facility. “We gave them $10,000 to treat every dog, to get their initial exams and all the bloodwork and things like that,” said Styer. “That was our largest grant ever.” Styer and Buchter also aid dogs as a side project unrelated to Leo’s Helping Paws. “(Recently) Beth and I, we picked up two 7-monthold corgis that didn’t sell from a breeder in Honey Brook,” said Styer. Leo’s Helping Paws usually holds one fundraiser a month. One of its biggest is the annual bake sale. This year’s event will be Saturday, Feb. 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Ephrata Agway, 731 W. Main St. Hot dogs, snacks, and beverages will also be for sale. There will be chances to win prizes, as well. Anyone who would like to donate baked goods to be sold can email contact@leoshelpingpaws .org or visit the Facebook page “Leo’s Helping Paws.”

states. The organization, made up of 40 volunteers, has also assisted outfits in Ohio, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia, Virginia, Connecticut, and Delaware. Anyone wishing to donate, volunteer, or apply for a grant can go to www.leoshelpingpaws.org. Leo’s Helping Paws, based in Lancaster city, has awarded an average of more than 80 grants per year totaling approximately $780,000 in its existence. “I am a big dog lover,” said Buchter, who is the treasurer. “I’ve always had compassion for animals. It’s just in me. It’s my nurturing instinct.” The nonprofit is named after Leo, a tri-colored corgi that was adopted in 2009. “We’re just very passionate about rescue because there’s so many dogs out there that need homes,” said Styer. Styer said most of the dogs the organization helps are abandoned or come from a breeding facility. “Because of some switches in the laws, the breeders will reach out to
