overty, certifications, education, language skills, self-enrichment.

All of those concepts and their implications are related and interrelated. All of those concepts and implications are relevant and intersect at the Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon.

“I would add health to that list,” said Cheryl Hiester, who’s been the executive director of the Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon for 18 years. “There’s a correlation between literacy and health. The ability to read and write English and fully participate in today’s world can impact every single aspect of an adult’s life. You can’t be fully engaged in your child’s education if you don’t have those skills. Those are significant barriers.”

The Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon, which is located at 407 Lafayette St., Lancaster, is dedicated to enriching lives and helping individuals reach their full potential through adult education. Not only does the local nonprofit promote the concept of lifelong learning, it embraces it.

“We’re an agency who serves adults,” said FEBRUARY 4,

Association Is Hosting Classes

BY GEORGE

As Eddie Cochran sang, “There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues,” but Patricia Keller stated that the Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA) has a remedy for the “winter blahs.”

The LCAA, located at 149 Precision Ave., Strasburg, will hold a variety of classes for both experienced and aspiring artists. There is a fee for the classes; LCAA members will receive a discount.

Participants must register, with the deadline a week before the particular class is slated to start. Anyone who does not register a week in advance but wishes to

Miss Lancaster County Puts Service Before

BY GEORGE DEIBEL

Kathryn Davis is a staunch believer in serving her community and country.

The 2024 Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S) High School graduate was crowned Miss Lancaster County last fall, earning the right to compete in the Miss Pennsylvania pageant in mid-June at the Appell Center for the Performing Arts in York.

“I’m super excited to represent my hometown,” said Davis. The victor of the Miss Pennsylvania contest will advance to the Miss America pageant. “It’s something I’ve dreamt about since I was a little girl,” said Davis. “Right now, my focus is on Miss Pennsylvania. Whatever God has in store will happen.”

She was enthroned as Miss Lancaster County Sept. 24 at Ephrata High School. “It was so unexpected,” Davis said.

The competition was composed of a 10-minute interview, which was 30% of the total score; an onstage question about the contestants’ community service initiative (10%); talent demonstration (20%); a fitness competition in athleticwear (20%); and an evening gown walk (20%).

Three titles - Miss Southern Lancaster County, Miss Heart of Lancaster, and Miss Red Rose City - were announced prior to Miss Lancaster County. Davis thought she had a better chance to win one of those crowns, but she tried to remain optimistic before the announcement of the

A Beginner’s Guide to Birding

BY CAT SHANNON

This spring, Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA) invites people in the community to look up, listen closely and get to know the birds along the Susquehanna River a little better. Three Introduction to Birding workshops will be offered on Saturday, March 28, each designed for a specific age group.

A 10 a.m. session will be geared toward families. An 11 a.m. session will address adults, and a 12:30 p.m. session will introduce teenagers to birding. While each session is tailored for its specific audience, all share the same goal: helping participants connect with their feathered neighbors and the river landscape they call home.

Sarah Gotwols, a Lancaster County native who has spent countless hours on land and water observing birds and other wildlife in the region, will lead the program.

“We’ve worked with Sarah before on birding walks and lectures, but this is the first time we’ve offered this workshop series,” said Sonya Vayansky, program manager for

SNHA. “Sarah has a real talent for welcoming beginners into birding, and we’re always looking for engaging ways to help people explore and enjoy the parks, trails and outdoor spaces within the Susquehanna National Heritage Area. This felt like a natural fit.”

Participants can expect a friendly, low-pressure introduction to birding at the workshops, Vayansky said.

“They’ll learn practical skills, like how to use binoculars, field guides and bird-identification apps, along with tips for spotting and identifying birds in the field,” she remarked. “It’s also a great chance to meet others who share an interest in nature and to learn from an experienced birder who knows our region well.”

The workshop for families will introduce the basics of birdwatching in a hands-on, kid-friendly way, designed to keep young birders curious and engaged outdoors. The adult session will cover core birding skills, as participants are introduced to bird identification basics, while the program for teens will encourage youths to pursue a new outdoor hobby as

they learn beginning identification skills and how to record their sightings.

Gotwols leads birdwatching walks throughout the year with the Lancaster Conservancy and the Lancaster County Bird Club.

She has also been a presenter with SNHA aboard the historic tour boat Chief Uncas and at the Zimmerman Center for Heritage.

Holding a program like the birding workshop is important to SNHA, Vayansky said.

“Connecting people to the natural and cultural resources of York and Lancaster counties is central to our mission,” she said.

“When people spend time outdoors and build a personal connection to these

places, they’re more likely to care about protecting them. Workshops like this give people the confidence and tools to experience our parks and trails in a new way - and to see them as places worth preserving.” There is a per-person charge for the workshops. Children and teens under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Adults accompanying teens to the teen workshop do not need to register or pay for a ticket. Participants are asked to bring their own binoculars, if possible, although some will be available to borrow during the program. To register for a workshop, visit https://susqnha.org/ events.

Accordion Group to Meet

The First Lancaster Accordion Group (FLAG) will meet on Sunday, Feb. 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Zion Church of Millers -

Church to Offer GriefShare Program

Hempfield Church, 3050

Marietta Ave., Lancaster, invites individuals who are grieving the loss of a loved one to join GriefShare, a Christian-based grief support group. The upcoming 13-week session will be held on Mondays from Feb. 16 to May 18 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in Room 170 at the church.

Each session combines professionally produced video content with small group discussions, offering participants a safe space to process their grief.

Attendees will also receive a workbook with journaling prompts and reflection exercises to guide them through their personal healing journey.

GriefShare will be led by Shirley Sload and Janice MacVaugh, experienced facilitators who have experienced grief themselves.

The registration fee will be payable by cash or check at the first meeting. To attend, participants must register by Monday, Feb. 9, at www.hempfieldumc.org/ grief.

UDSF Announces Annual Gala

The United Disabilities Services Foundation (UDSF) will hold its annual gala on Thursday, April 30, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square, 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster.

The 2025 gala raised nearly $650,000, which provided crucial support for the organization’s mission of providing personal care and support services to older adults and people with disabilities.

John Kruk, a three-time MLB All-Star and former Philadelphia Phillies first baseman and outfielder, will be the keynote speaker.

As part of an exclusive Extra Innings After-Party, Kruk will participate in a fireside chat-style interview conducted by Eagles insider Dave Spadaro following the gala. The extra event will include photo opportunities with Kruk, an open bar, and light refreshments.

UDSF will sell giveaway drawing tickets for the Extra Innings After-Party

through Tuesday, March 31, or until sold out; 10 winners will have the opportunity to attend the event with Kruk. Giveaway drawing tickets may be purchased at the UDSF corporate office, 2270 Erin Court, Lancaster, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays or at https://udservices.org/ gala26.

Winners will be chosen at random from the drawing, which will be livestreamed on Wednesday, April 1, on the “United Disabilities Services Foundation” Facebook page.

At the gala, attendees will enjoy a cocktail reception with passed hors d’oeuvres followed by a full-course dinner with an open bar. There will also be bidding opportunities on exclusive live and silent auction items.

big prize. “I was definitely nervous, but I had a little bit of hope,” she said.

Casey Allyn, a radio personality and friend of Davis’, was bestowed the honor of divulging the winner. “When Casey called my name, it was utter shock and happiness that I get to serve my community,” said Davis.

Davis has been attending other local competitions to show support for her sister queens and will visit blood drives, which goes along with her community service initiative PhlebotomyFam. For more information about local scholarship competitions and PhlebotomyFam, go to https://MissKathryn Davis.com.

She is grateful for the support from her coaches, Juven Nava and Annika Wooton of Crown the Nation, and her mother, Jozlyn Grodski.

Davis, who previously served as Miss Greater Reading’s Teen 2025 and

Miss Lancaster County’s Teen 2024, is a freshman at Shippensburg University, where she is a member of the ROTC program and plans to major in history. Davis’ goal is to graduate from Shippensburg as a second lieutenant in the Army.

Her father, Timothy Davis, served in the Marines and is currently a member of the Air National Guard. The younger Davis had long mulled joining the armed forces but only recently decided to commit. “I never thought I was strong enough to do it,” she said.

“I finally got the guts to do it. It’s important to me to serve my country, not only as a titleholder but also serving in the Army. My family always emphasized service. We always give what we don’t need to people who need it. As a Christian, it’s what I am called to do, and I want to be the best version of myself I can be.”

THV to Host 100th Book Celebration

Eleven years ago, winemaker Amy Thorn shared her wish to combine her love of reading with her passion for creating wines with friends Jo Boltz and Mardy McGaw. The result was Thorn Hill Vineyards (THV) Book Club, which will celebrate its 100th Book Selection on Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 6 to 8 p.m., with a discussion of “My Friends” by Fredrik Backman. All former, current and future book club members are invited to attend, as well as the public.

Guests are welcome to arrive early to socialize and reminisce about favorite books, enjoy light snacks and wine available for purchase. No registration is required.

The THV Book Club has a history of celebrating books, wine and conversations with a discussion held each month, beginning with a wine-themed read, “Sideways” by Rex Pickett.

At each meeting, attendees are given an opportunity to share their thoughts on the book, and then the monthly book club leaders will segue into discussion on the book’s themes and topics. The group votes semi-annually on titles that

The Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon, which works closely with Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13, provides instruction in basic education skills like reading, writing, math, social studies and science and prepares students to acquire high school equivalency certifications. The Literacy Council also offers a digital literacy program to help novices navigate the technology world and an international health care professionals’ program, which helps immigrant professionals like doctors and nurses obtain the skills and licenses required to practice medicine here.

The Literacy Council does not provide job training, but the organization does provide educational support for individuals preparing for job training and higher forms of education.

“There are a lot of people in the community who don’t have their high school diplomas,” said Hiester, a resident of Mount Joy. “The career awareness gives people an opportunity to learn about the opportunities available to them. Some employers require high school credentials to hire individuals. If you want to go on to higher education, you need that credential. Others may want to show their children the importance of education. Most people don’t drop out of school on purpose.”

The Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon is currently serving about 500 individuals in its service area, but there are an estimated 120,000 residents who could benefit from the organization’s programs. Participants must be age 18 or older and live in either of the two counties, and they can’t be enrolled in school.

“They are people who want to improve their lives

Hiester said that there are currently 55,987 working-age adults living in Lancaster County who do not possess a high school diploma. About 22% of Lancaster County’s 380,144 adult residents or 83,631 individuals are functioning at or below Level 1 literacy.

Hiester also said that, on the average, 100 hours of adult education corresponds to about $9,621 a year in employee income.

“Some of our students are living in homes with a large amount of stress,” said Hiester. “Families living in poverty might move frequently. There may be behavioral health issues that make it difficult to complete educations. There are a lot of people living in Lancaster County who came here as refugees and didn’t learn English. Every person has their own journey and experiences. We’re here to help them reach their goals.”

The Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon, which was founded in 1985, employs 20 workers, some of whom are teachers and tutors. The organization also benefits from the service of volunteer instructors.

The Literacy Council is funded through state and federal resources provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, grants from local foundations, resources from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, fundraising events and the efforts of the United Way of Lebanon County.

“One of our big fears is that the federal funding is at risk,” said Hiester. “That funding is the backbone of adult literacy and education. I want people to feel inspired to help. I want people to advocate for people struggling with these skills.”

“A lot of people have always wanted to take an art class to expand on their talents,” Keller said. “Here’s a chance to do that. A lot of these are beginner (courses), and it really can be a good way for someone who is experienced to refresh or to just get motivated again. It’s always nice to take a class and sort of see a different perspective from a different artist.”

youth programs and community development.

In addition to the grant program, HARTZ Physical Therapy provided major sponsorships to two community causes. The practice raised $17,000 for Milagro House from its annual Fall Blast 5K & Kids Color Run, helping advance the organization’s mission to mothers in need. HARTZ PT also donated $10,000 to Beards for Brothers with the proceeds from its annual Spring Swing Golf Tournament, supporting first responders and their families with cancer.

The anniversary year brought recognition from state and federal leadership. Congressman Lloyd Smucker visited HARTZ

Physical Therapy to personally present a congratulatory letter acknowledging the milestone achievement.

Pennsylvania Sen. James Malone also visited the practice to present founder Brian Hartz with an official Pennsylvania Senate Proclamation.

HARTZ Physical Therapy awarded $2,500 grants to the following 24 organizations and individuals throughout the anniversary year: January - Schreiber Pediatrics and Aaron’s Acres; February - Lancaster Dollars for Higher Learning and Arch Street; March - CASA of Lancaster and Anchor Lancaster; April - Girls on a Mission and Edible Classroom; May - Off the Streets and Power Packs Project;

June - Building Bridges Foundation at Anderson Farm and Wolf Sanctuary of PA; July - Now I Can Northeast and Unlocked Closet; August - Live Like Libby and Girls on the Run; September - Middle Creek Search & Rescue and LifeCycles; October - Keystone Pet Enchanced Therapy (KPETS) and Meals on Wheels Lancaster; November - Kathy’s Circle of Friends and Scaling Walls a Note at a Time (SWAN); and December - Lancaster Project for the Needy and Lancaster Snow Angels.

Local Farmer Recognized in Soybean Yield Contest

A Lancaster County farmer has been recognized in the 2025 Pennsylvania Soybean Yield Contest, an annual competition sponsored by the Pennsylvania Soybean Board that highlights innovation and continuous improvement across the state’s soybean industry. The contest recognizes the top growers in each of five production regions in Pennsylvania, and A. Dale Herr of Lancaster County won in the southcentral region with a yield of 100.49 bushels per acre.

Timely mid- and late-sum-

mer rains, soil water-holding capacity, and late April planting dates were key factors influencing results in the 2025 contest. Thirty-two farms competed this year, and only two farms surpassed the 100-bushelper-acre level, one of which was Herr’s farm. Herr and the other regional winners will receive an educational trip for one to the Commodity Classic, an annual joint convention of the American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Association of Wheat Grow-

ers, and the National Grain Sorghum Producers, which will be held in San Antonio, Texas.

The contest was introduced by the Pennsylvania Soybean Board to showcase crop management practices of some of the top soybean producers in the state and to encourage the exchange of ideas that drive continuous improvement and on-farm innovation. A summary of the crop production practices from recent contest entrants is available from Penn State Extension educators and at www.pasoybean.org.

sion is free.

The LCAA will also host a “Save the Green” used art and craft supply sale during business hours from Saturday, Feb. 28, to Sunday, March 15. The gallery is open Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.

Donations of frames, mats, art books, easels, and drawing tables are being accepted during those times prior to the start of the sale. Herr noted that items should be clean and in good working order.
