Empower Program Builds Teen Leaders

BY CAT SHANNON

School may be out for the summer, but a program is in full swing at Cornerstone Youth Center. The organization, located at 95 S. Wilson Ave., Elizabethtown, is once again holding the Empower Youth Leadership Initiative for youths in grades nine through 12.

Empower began on June 12 and will run for six weekly sessions, with graduation scheduled for Thursday, July 17.

As its name implies, the program is designed to empower young people with the skills, resources and support necessary to unlock their leadership potential, said Jim Bush, Cornerstone executive director.

“This program was introduced at Cornerstone in 2017 and then

As the United States prepares to mark its 250th birthday next year, Masonic Village in Elizabethtown has planted the roots of the country’s freedom on its campus.

A Liberty Tree was dedicated on June 4 at the retirement community. During the American Revolutionary War, the Sons of Liberty convened under the dense foliage of large “Liberty Trees” to discuss their opposition to British rule in the Colonies. Direct descendants

Lynn Walker was worried. In 2013, after her son Caleb had undergone his third brain surgery, a friend sent the family away for an extended weekend trip to Ocean City, N.J. Caleb had been gone for more than two hours on a beach bike expedition, and Lynn was getting anxious. “Caleb comes

of the last remaining Liberty Tree have been rescued and propagated, and the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania has partnered with America250PA to plant these symbols of freedom in all 67 counties across the commonwealth in preparation for the 250th anniversary of the founding of America.

The tree is a tulip poplar, said Larry A. Derr, R.W. Grand Master of Pennsylvania Masons.

“It is a direct descendent of the last living Liberty Tree in Annapolis, Md., which was destroyed by Hurricane Floyd in 1999,” he explained. “Seeds were taken off a scion and grown into saplings.”

The Liberty Tree at Masonic Village is the only one that will be planted in Lancaster County, and choosing the site was an easy decision, Derr stated.

“Masonic Village has more than 1,400 acres of land, including the Veterans Grove, which honors our military and veterans, so it was a fitting location,” he remarked.

Many of the residents of Masonic Village have served in the military, he noted.

“Patriotism is important to them, as well as to staff, the greater Elizabethtown community and the Masonic fraternity,” he said, adding that the grove is an ideal site for the tree. “The Veterans Grove, established in 1911, features 268 oak trees, a living representation of Pennsylvania Masons who died serving our country during World War I. The grove also includes an Eternal Flame, which was funded by donations from individuals and Masonic Lodges whose names are inscribed on 538 small and 491 large pavers at the site.”

As Derr explained, the first Liberty Tree served as a gathering place for patriots in Colonial Boston prior to the American Revolution.

“The massive elm tree’s dense foliage provided cover from being easily spotted by the British,” he said. “Realizing the tree’s importance and valuable political symbolism, British soldiers destroyed it in 1775.”

In the years leading up to the Revolution, Liberty Trees continued to be used as symbolic meeting places for the Sons of Liberty throughout the 13 Colonies, Derr shared.

“As the years passed, other Liberty Trees died or were destroyed, until the last remained on the campus of St. John’s College in Annapolis, Md., the alma mater of Francis Scott Key,” he said. “Under this tree, American rev -

olutionaries advocated independence from Great Britain during the Stamp Act of 1765.”

The tree has a tumultuous history and withstood a few significant challenges.

“Over four centuries, the tulip poplar survived a bolt of lightning, an explosion of gunpowder within its trunk and changes in wind and weather, until Hurricane Floyd destroyed it in September 1999,” Derr said.

“Once the largest known of its species in the United States, the tree’s seedlings, grown from seeds taken off a scion, have produced hundreds of descendants that will be planted throughout Pennsylvania over the next several years.”

Speakers at the Masonic Village tree planting and dedication included executive director of America250PA Cassandra Coleman, Derr, Lancaster County Commissioner chairman Josh Parsons and Elizabethtown Mayor Chuck Mummert Jr.

“What better way to honor the revolutionary principles upon which our nation was established than by planting these living, tangible connections to our country’s roots?” Derr said. “Under the limbs of this tree’s ancestor, American patriots gathered to devise their response to British tyranny. From their discussions were sown the seeds of revolution, as Americans decided they

would no longer live under the yoke of oppression.”

Lancaster County may not have hosted any major Revolutionary War battles, but its impact on the fight for independence was important. Local gunsmiths crafted many of the rifles used by the Continental Army, and residents rallied to serve in the militia. The county even held prisoner-of-war camps, making it an active player in the Revolutionary effort. For one historic day - Sept. 27, 1777 - Lancaster briefly stepped into the national spotlight as the capital of the American Colonies, when the Continental Congress fled Philadelphia after the city fell to British forces.

Freemasons were also deeply woven into the fabric of America’s founding. Among their ranks were nine signers of the Declaration of Independence, 33 Continental Army generals, 48 signers of the Articles of Confederation and 13 signers of the Constitution. Notable Freemasons include Benjamin Franklin, who twice served as Grand Master of Pennsylvania, and George Washington, who joined the fraternity in 1752. Freemasonry is the world’s oldest and largest fraternal organization, built on the principles of brotherhood, charity and truth, with roots stretching back centuries in Europe.

Rock Ford Plans Presentation

Historic Rock Ford, 881 Rock Ford Road, Lancaster, will present “The Sounds of Commemoration: The Music of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour” by Christina McSherry on Sunday, July 13, at 2 p.m.

During the Marquis de Lafayette’s Farewell Tour of America from 1824 to 1825, music was an integral part of most celebrations around the country. This lecture will examine the role of music in the celebrations for Lafayette and how it shaped public memory of the tour.

Christina McSherry is

the executive director of Historic Rock Ford. She is a graduate of Franklin & Marshall College and completed her doctorate in historical archaeology at the University of Nevada. She is also an adjunct assistant professor of anthropology at Franklin & Marshall College.

This presentation is part of the museum’s Lafayette Lecture Series and will be held on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. There is a fee for admission, and tickets may be purchased at www.historicrockford .org/special-events.

A

Away

bursting through the door and says, ‘I know what I’m going to do! I’m going to start a foundation!’” Lynn recalled.

Caleb explained that while biking by the ocean he had felt normal for the first time in four years. “He said, ‘When you get away from everything else, you get to feel normal. This is what I want to give people,’” said Lynn.

For the last 11 years, the organization Caleb formed, A Week Away Foundation, has been providing families with weeklong vacations. “Our mission is to provide respite weeks for families that are battling a life-threatening illness, thereby enabling them to come back refreshed from some time away so they can re-engage and continue to fight their disease,” said Lynn, who is the director of the registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

There are no age limitations for people going on the trip, which is for a patient diagnosed by a medical doctor and undergoing treatment, as well as family members and friends who have been caring for the patient since the diagnosis.

The site of the respites must be drivable and within a 500-mile radius of A Week Away’s coverage area, which is made up of Adams, Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Delaware, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Perry, and York counties, along with Philadelphia.

A Week Away has granted 305 respites. Beaches are a popular destination, and the foundation also provides trips to the Pennsylvania mountains and will send families to urban areas if the patient has a particular interest in a cultural activity.

“The life of anyone

involved with fighting cancer or any chronic life-threatening illness is turmoil,” Lynn said. “It’s like living in a cement mixer, and they never, ever get a break. If we can take them out of that world, that reality, for a week and give them a stress-free experience at no cost for them, we can buy time. And if we have time, we can give God and science a chance to work.”

Before he was diagnosed with brain cancer after having a seizure, Caleb was a seemingly healthy senior at Lampeter-Strasburg High School two months before graduation with plans to study pre-med and wrestle in college.

He was briefly paralyzed following the first of his six brain surgeries but bounced back and was able to run and ride a bicycle.

Lynn recalls a visit to the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania when Caleb was 18. “He put his head on my shoulder and started crying,” she said. “That wasn’t like him at all.”

Caleb had noticed a young mother holding a tiny infant and said, “We’re so blessed. We have our family and our faith. Who helps them?”

Lynn said, “That was the day the seed (for the foundation) was planted. On the boardwalk, it sprouted.”

When he realized he would not have time to graduate from Millersville, Caleb took on a variety of jobs in the city to raise money for A Week Away.

The Light the Tree campaign is one of the foundation’s big fundraisers. In 2014, Caleb arranged for an ill child to hit the button that turned on the lights on the Christmas tree in Penn Square. In October, he suffered 40 seizures in one day, and doctors told him he likely had less than a month to live. “You have to get me to my fundraiser,” Caleb responded.

He survived long enough to see the foundation grant its first respite and deliver a speech during the tree-lighting ceremony. Caleb died days

later on Dec. 3, 2014, after becoming unconscious while writing thank you letters. It was one week before his 24th birthday.

Lynn keeps a collage on her desk featuring photos of some of the businesses and community members who have helped the foundation raise more than $2.5 million. “It’s a reminder that so many people have been with us for 11 years,” she said.

Lancaster County Motors Subaru sponsors the annual August golf tournament, which is already sold out. Members 1st Federal Credit Union, Speedwell Construction, and Hess Auctioneers are also major contributors. “My favorite donation is someone who gives $2 a month,” Lynn said. “That always puts a smile on my face.”

There are many avenues to help A Week Away, including the donation of a property that can host respites. “God has blessed this organization. He has taken care of it,” Lynn said. “(The organization) always needs money, but the best way to help us is to give us referrals. We want to help people.”

For more information about the A Week Away Foundation, go to www .aweekaway.org.

“It’s Caleb’s legacy,” said Lynn, who keeps a quote in her office that reads, “I’ve not heard your voice in years, but my heart has conversations with you every day.”

“This is my way of being able to support his dreams,” Lynn added. “There’s a little selfish part, too. It puts me in touch with people who loved him and who he loved.”

Empower

was implemented at Teen Haven Youth Center in Lancaster city in 2018 under the name ‘Training Camp,’” he explained. “With a break in 2020 because of COVID, the program continued at Teen Haven until last summer, when we brought it back to Cornerstone.”

Activities focus on five key pillars: building a life of character and integrity, developing healthy relationships and establishing boundaries, conflict resolution and overcoming obstacles, financial management and stewardship and community service and civic responsibility.

Students are supported in developing leadership skills such as effective communication and decision making through a series of activities and hands-on opportunities to learn.

To emphasize the pillar of overcoming obstacles, students will participate in the “Clip and Climb” obstacle course at Spooky Nook Sports, where they will be challenged to face and overcome their fears.

“To illustrate the point of having integrity, we will teach the students to shoot archery and focus on hitting the bullseye each shot, regardless of how badly they may have missed on their last attempt,” Bush shared.

“Students will (also) be challenged to work as a team

and develop communication skills through participating in an escape room.”

On Thursday, July 3, students will participate in a mock trial at District Magistrate Randall Miller’s office, followed by a community service project for the community service and civic responsibility pillar.

“And, prior to graduation on July 17, we will complete our version of ‘The Amazing Race,’ where students will participate in a competition to figure out clues and complete challenges in order to complete the course,” Bush said. “Each activity will give students valuable insights into their own strengths and capabilities, ultimately boosting their self-confidence and self-esteem.”

Many of the Empower participants are at-risk youths or young people who have experienced brokenness in their lives, Bush said.

“Brokenness may look like bullying, neglect or abuse, struggling to make friends or with schoolwork,” he explained. “It takes on many forms, but the result of brokenness is often a lack of an ability to handle difficult life situations, so our program helps these students develop the skills to overcome the challenges that they face.”

Empower also requires a level of accountability from participants.

“In order to successfully complete the program, the students must demonstrate an advanced level of leadership, cooperation, self-discipline, courage to overcome obstacles and a willingness to help others succeed,” Bush remarked. “Last year we had 11 students participate in the program, and seven successfully completed the graduation requirements. Students who successfully graduate qualify to become peer mentors to other students.” This year, two students have returned to serve as mentors.

The Empower lessons are taught by Cornerstone staff and volunteers, many of whom are local pastors and full-time ministry leaders. This year, the program is completely funded through Cornerstone’s programming budget, Bush said, noting that Cornerstone is supported by local churches, businesses and individuals in the community.

To raise funds for Cornerstone programming, including the Empower initiative, Cornerstone will be the beneficiary of a fundraiser at Whisk Café, 98 Masonic Drive, Elizabethtown, on Thursday, July 10.

A Supper Club BBQ will be held from 5 to 8 p.m., with all proceeds supporting the nonprofit. The menu will include smoked sausage,

You can be part of changing the life of a youth from despair to hope.”

Marietta Fireworks Will Feature Food and Fun

BY CAT SHANNON

The skies over Marietta will come alive once again this Independence Day, as the longtime community fireworks celebration returns to War Memorial Park, 344 E. Walnut St., on Friday, July 4. The festivities will begin at 4 p.m. with family-friendly activities and will culminate with the fireworks display around 9:15 p.m., conditions permitting.

Organized by fireworks enthusiast Gary Schatz, Marietta Fireworks will feature a new addition to the festivities this year.

“We’re starting a line of food trucks at the park,” Gary said. “Our goal is to have six.” One of the trucks will be a brand-new offering from Mumma’s Eats & Treats, operated by the former owners of the Clearview Diner. The truck will serve items including hamburgers, hot dogs and french fries.

Again this year, Marietta Fireworks is partnering with Community Bible Church, 331 Anderson Ferry Road, Marietta, to offer a place to enjoy

the fireworks and experience a fun atmosphere beforehand.

The parking lot at the church will open at 4 p.m., and while parking is free, donations will be accepted.

“Donations are one of our biggest moneymakers for the year,” Gary said.

His wife, Raeann, describes the festivities at the church as “family-friendly tailgating.”

People come early to enjoy kids’ activities, including bounce houses, face painting and a barrel train, and to eat and socialize.

Food trucks will begin serving food at the church at 4 p.m., and children’s activities will begin at 4:30 p.m. Live music will be provided by Common Vine from 6 to 8 p.m.

“People set up in the yard, and they play cards or board games and just enjoy time together before the fireworks,” Gary said, noting that last year’s event attracted thousands of people and required the church to shut down the parking when the lot was full. “We work hand-inhand with the church for this event.”

He encouraged people to view the fireworks display from either the park or the church, which he said makes a unique setting.

“For somebody watching from the church on the hill, the mountains are such a beautiful backdrop, and the sound from the fireworks reverberates and echoes,” he noted.

Gary has been organizing Marietta Fireworks for decades, and he emphasized that it’s a long-standing community event.

“We’re one of the oldest fireworks shows in the area,” he said. “We’ve been doing it since the late ‘50s. I’ve been doing it since the ‘80s. It’s just one of my passions.”

The show will feature both electronically pre-set fireworks and hand-lit varieties.

“We’re going to do a segment with special pattern shells,” Gary said, explaining that the fireworks will display in shapes such as hearts and smiley faces. “We’ll set those off two at a time.”

He anticipates the show will run about 25 to 30 minutes.

While Gary is busy

behind the scenes, Raeann supports the effort by accepting donations during the event and handling administrative tasks such as thank-you letters to supporters year-round.

“I stand out and collect donations for about five and a half hours,” she said, noting that it’s all worth it to see the crowds react to the show. “I get to hear the ‚Äòoohs’ and ‚Äòahs’ because I’m right there.”

She also credits the people who come to the show year after year for making it possible to offer Marietta Fireworks.

“Without the community support, we could not be able to do this,” she said. “We rely on the community.”
