RAC Student-Athletes Take Aim at Bullseye of Life

BY JEFF FALK

Always keep your eye on the target. Doing the same thing in the same way over and over and over again can provide desirable results. Following through is important.

Some of the same things that produce success in archery can also produce success in other areas of life.

Bob Lauffer is a coach and a mentor in both archery and in other interests of life.

“I think the key to success (in archery) is you have to enjoy it,”

said Lauffer, who founded the Reading Archery Club (RAC) a decade ago. “You have to spend time on it, and to do that, you have to enjoy it. You have to be able to

focus, and you have to be able to do the same things every time. A lot of it is muscle memory. Once (archers) start having success, it kind of snowballs. You have to get

Fire & Ice is welcoming. Fire & Ice is about community. Fire & Ice is energizing.

Not unlike its host town.

Fire & Ice epitomizes and reflects what Lititz stands for.

It’s an event that truly captures the spirit of the venue.

“When you’re in Lititz, there’s always a vibe,” said Alyssa Diehm, who’s been an executive

assistant at Venture Lititz for two years. “You can feel the pride. Then add thousands of visitors, and we get to share that feeling with them. People will drive hours to come to Fire & Ice. Our small business owners believe in Venture Lititz and Fire & Ice. It’s this feeling of pride like we’re all doing it together.”

This year’s edition of Fire & Ice, Lititz’s winter carnival, will be conducted over two upcoming

Stars Always Align at North Museum Planetarium

BY JEFF FALK

Movie actors Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington are Hollywood box office heavyweights. But if you want to view real stars on a really big screen, head to the North Museum’s planetarium.

“It’s really nice to see when people get really excited for it,” said Cole Penkunas, who’s been the North Museum’s resident astronomer for two years. “It gets me really excited when people ask questions. It shows me they’re interested in science and astronomy. They’re excited about something I’m excited about.”

Simply put, the planetarium is one of the most popular attractions at a place - the North Museum of Nature and Science, located at 400 College Ave., Lancaster - that has so many interesting exhibits to experience. Admission to the planetarium, which offers shows mainly on Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., is included with admission to the North Museum.

“For me, there’s definitely a coolness factor to it,” said Penkunas. “I think some of it is because we want to know where we exist in the universe. Astronomy can tell us a lot about physics, about the Earth and the nature of reality on a really big scale. I think astronomy just being the study of the stars is just very appealing to a lot of people. A lot of people want to explore the world. Earth has been well charted, and now people are looking up for new stuff.”

Five Generations of Family Gather

Five generations of a local family recently gathered, including Landon Kelley (front) of New Holland, (back, from left) great-great-grandfather Elwood Brice of Ephrata, great-grandfather Chris Brice of Narvon, grandmother Bobbi Jo Nolt of Bowmansville, and mother Randi Kelley of New Holland. The family was celebrating Elwood, who recently turned 98.

them on the right path, and they’ve got to buy in.”

RAC is a developmental, community-based archery program that provides life opportunities for youths ages 6 to 18 from Lancaster County and Berks County. RAC is headquartered on its 38-acre, wooded property at 880 Church Road, Reading.

“What I want (the archers) to understand is that it’s OK to try and it’s OK to fail,” said Lauffer. “For some kids, archery is easy. For other kids, they’ve got to really work at it. I want them to get out of it whatever they can. Those are the big life lessons that I want them to learn.”

RAC participates in and hosts as many as 20 regional, state and national archery competitions each year. The year is loosely broken down into three seasons by disciplines - indoor target, 3D and outdoor target.

RAC also conducts community events like fundraisers, and the organization awards scholarships to deserving student-athletes. There are costs involved with competing in archery.

“The mission is for students to learn safety during archery,” said Lauffer. “We want them to enjoy it and become a lifelong archer. We have about 10 passionate coaches who really enjoy working with young people, and they’re really dedicated. You need to have organization. For us, our best recruiters are the kids themselves. Providing a framework for competition is another big part of it. Archers love to compete.”

“Every kid is different,” he added. “For some, you just let them do their things. Different students learn different ways.”

Currently, there are more than 45 student-athletes involved with the RAC program, including eight from the Garden Spot School District, as well as archers who reside in the Cocalico, Twin Valley, Boyertown, Governor Mifflin and Wilson school districts. For competition purposes, the students are broken down by age groups: 8 and under, junior eagles; 9 to 11, eagles; 12 to 14, youths; and 15 to 18, young adults.

“They’re diverse. Some are second- and third-generation archers,” said Lauffer, who taught agriculture, advised FFA and coached track and field at Garden Spot High School for more than 30 years. “Some come from families who do archery hunting. They’re kids who love the challenge of putting an arrow where they want it time after time. That’s what they have in common.”

The student-athletes’ motiva -

tions for competing are as diverse as the archers themselves.

“You do not have to be a great athlete to be a great archer,” said Lauffer. “But we have had great athletes who have been great archers. We have kids who are involved with other sports. It’s something you can do for the rest of your life. I want it to be a positive experience for everyone out there. I had one young lady who did archery and never competed, but she had a great experience.”

Lauffer founded RAC with six Garden Spot Middle School students in 2016. The team grew quickly, with 20 participants in the program’s second year and 30 archers in the third year.

“It’s important to take advantage of opportunities presented to you, but archery is not for everyone,” said Lauffer. “There might be somebody out there who’s thinking, ‘I’ve always thought about it, but I’ve never tried it.’ We want it to be accessible.”

Planetarium

The unidirectional planetarium at the North Museum is physically made up of 70 seats and a 40-foot-diameter dome. A projection system uses special lenses to portray images of stars, galaxies, moons, constellations and other celestial bodies on the auditorium’s ceiling.

“It’s more of a traditional movie-style planetarium where everyone faces the same way,” said Penkunas, a resident of Lititz. “The main thing with the planetarium is to get more space education out there. The goal is to educate about space and stars in fun and immersive ways.”

Based on a rotating schedule, the planetarium offers about 15 to 20 different shows for adults and kids throughout the year, including “Night Sky Tours” and other seasonal presentations. That’s a total of more than 240 of the 30- to 40-minute presentations annually.

The planetarium also periodically offers shows on dinosaurs and super volcanoes, as well as select documentaries.

“I think we have a really good understanding of our solar system as it exists now,” said Penkunas. “We have a good understanding of the sun. But there are still a lot of questions. We have a really good idea of how planets formed, but we don’t know a lot of the specifics. We know a lot more than we ever did before, but a lot of the exact mechanisms of astronomy are still very much being researched. Overall, there’s still a lot to learn.”

The North Museum’s planetarium receives more than 2,500 visits each year. Some come from curious out-of-town tourists, but mainly they are from Lancaster County adults and students who want to learn about other worlds, as well as the world around them.

“A lot of times it’s people who

have never been to a planetarium before,” said Penkunas. “They hear there’s a planetarium, and they get excited. A lot of people come here just for the planetarium. Planetariums aren’t super common, and they aren’t easy to find.”

“I always want people to think astronomy is cool and accessible,” continued Penkunas. “Space is far away, but we’re not far away. I

think it’s important for people to have an interest in astronomy.”

The planetarium, which was built in the 1960s and renovated in 2012, is located on the main floor of the three-floor structure that houses the North Museum of Nature and Science. The planetarium is surrounded by 12 main sections, each featuring its own themed exhibits, displays and collections.

“I’d say that the planetarium is a companion to the rest of the museum,” said Penkunas. “It’s one of the ways we drive people to come here. There are two main features; the first is the rest of the museum and the second is the planetarium. It’s one of the main features.”

weekends - Thursday, Feb. 12, to Monday, Feb. 16, and Thursday, Feb. 19, to Sunday, Feb. 22. Sponsored by nationally accredited Main Street nonprofit Venture Lititz, Fire & Ice is a fundraiser designed to attract visitors to downtown merchants during their slow season.

“It’s so much more than a winter event,” said Diehm. “It gets people out and interacting. Sometimes, the world feels divisive, but this brings people together.”

Conducted mainly on Broad Street and Main Street and in portions of Lititz Springs Park, Fire & Ice will unofficially kick off with Winter’s Coolest Night, a ticketed event, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 12 at Lititz Shirt Factory, 5 Juniper Lane, Lititz. The festival’s official opening night will be Friday, Feb. 13.

This year, Fire & Ice will feature 76 one-block, artist-carved ice sculptures, located mostly on Main and Broad Streets, and 32 giant, two- to 10-block sculptures, primarily situated in Lititz Springs Park. The ice sculptures are sponsored by local businesses.

“When Venture Lititz does Fire & Ice, we commit,” said Diehm. “We have some really fun ice sculptures this year, like the Minions, Lego Man, snowmen and the popular ice toilet. The merchants have Fire & Ice specials, and you just have to try them all. And you just have to see the fire shows.”

Among this year’s highlighted events are a family-friendly scavenger hunt, a hot-and-cold crawl, an ice cream festival, a kids’ fire and ice safety showcase, the Make and Take Fibre Art Workshop, a makers’ market and the traditional Lititz Lions’ Chili Cook-Off. Fire & Ice will also feature a food truck court, including 12 revolving vendors; music; and entertainment, including dance troupe presentations and Molly Dazzle’s pyrotechnics performances.

“It is a ton of work,” said Diehm. “We start planning Fire & Ice in August. This is an event with a lot of sub-events. It takes a lot of work to pull it into a festival. These (volunteers) aren’t getting paid. Lititz shows up to help put it on. Everybody shows up.”

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

Year

If you have a child turning 5 years of age prior to September 1, 2026, please visit the kindergarten registration page at www.elanco.org for more information about the registration process.

If you have registration questions, please contact our district registrar at registration@elanco.org

More than 40,000 people are expected to attend each weekend of Fire & Ice. It takes 120 volunteers to pull off the event, and last year those community members logged a total of more than 1,000 volunteer hours.

“I think the (attendees) are people who know the magic that is Lititz,” said Diehm, a resident of Lititz. “They’re people who enjoy community events. Lititz is a destination in and of itself, and Fire & Ice emphasizes it. It’s

people wanting that Lititz vibe.”

Established in 2006, Venture Lititz’s Fire & Ice has evolved from humble beginnings as a three-day offshoot of the Lititz Lions Club’s Chili Cook-Off into one of the premier winter festivals in Lancaster County. Fire & Ice is one of a handful of community-oriented fundraisers that Venture Lititz conducts throughout the year.

“Fire & Ice is a pretty big fundraiser for Venture Lititz,” said

Diehm. “But during the event, we want our businesses to be successful and to be highlighted. We want to drive business there.

We pour the money that we make back into town. Last year, we were able to do a beautification project. All the events are for our community, to bring people together and have shared experiences and celebrate what makes Lititz, Lititz.”

“Venture Lititz is here to make Lititz a very desirable place to

work, live and visit,” she continued, “and I think we do a good job of it. We love what we do. Within Venture Lititz, it’s a board of dedicated volunteers, and me and Sam (Thrush) are the only employees. Everyone here is our friends and neighbors. Fire & Ice supports our community, and if you come out, you’ll make some good memories while you’re at it.”
