Writing Toward Recovery, Healing and Hope
BY CAT SHANNON
Every week, Scott Feifer gets people to share their innermost thoughts. He’s not a clergyman or a therapist. He’s a writer, and he believes in the power of the pen.
Feifer, who taught language arts for almost 30 years at Hempfield School District, has been leading writing circles since his days as a teacher. He left his public school position in 2020 and has since focused on the transformative power of writing.
Feifer leads writing circles at Manos House, a residential treatment program for young men in Columbia; Blueprints for Addiction Recovery; Domestic Violence Services; and the Lancaster County Youth Intervention Center, among other locations throughout Lancaster and neighboring counties.

“We run from our stories and the trauma and the hard things we’ve experienced,” he said. “But when we write it down, we realize that ultimately, there’s no running from our past.”
Program Participants Grow From Connections, Kindness
BY JEFF FALK
Aaron’s Acres isn’t intentionally and deliberately expanding. But by responding to the needs of the community, Aaron’s Acres is growing organically.
One of its newer programs, Kindness Konnections, is taking a different approach to giving back to the same community that
Aaron’s Acres is already serving.
“I like the phrase ‘natural evolution,’” said Madison Heider, the program coordinator at Aaron’s Acres. “We’ve had discussions about how this program can continue to grow. There’s a need for it in the community. I think it’s a natural progression of Aaron’s Acres mission to support participants in our community.”
Ironically, the man who gets people to bare their souls on paper wasn’t always so open.
In 1998, he signed up for a summer writing workshop at Millersville University. As part of the class, students shared their writing with their peers.
“I didn’t want to reveal something so private,” Feifer recalled. “I decided I would go to the first class, but if I was uncomfortable or I didn’t like it, I would leave during the break.”
Not only did he stay for the class, but he also found a new outlet for his emotions.
“Something broke open for me in a way that I hadn’t expected,” he said of his writing. “I wanted my students to taste what I had experienced that summer.”
He began offering writing circles at Hempfield, focusing on ideals expressed in Natalie Goldberg’s “Writing Down the Bones.”

Food Safety Courses Slated
Penn State Extension will offer several food safety certification courses. To register for any of these courses and for more information, call 877-345-0691 or visit https://extension .psu.edu/food-safety -manager-certificate -training-options.
The ServSafe Food Safety Manager course will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, March 10 and 17, in Room 149 at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. The exam will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24.
The in-person trainings will teach participants how to prevent contamination by properly receiving, storing, preparing, cooking, cooling, and serving food and by sanitizing food service facilities. The course will be led by certified ServSafe instructors.
The course fee covers the cost of the most recent edition of the ServSafe Manager book, learning materials, and exam. The deadline to register for the course and exam is Tuesday, March 3.
The online course is self-paced, can be started anytime throughout the year, and must be completed within 180 days of enrollment. While the online portion can be taken anytime, the exam is conducted in person. There is a fee.
Participants who complete the in-person or online course and pass the proctored multiple-choice exam with a score of 70% or higher will receive a ServSafe Food Protection Manager certificate. This certificate is valid for five years.
A third option, the Food Safety Manager Certification Prep Course, will be available as a live online webinar that will prepare participants for the certification exam. Participants will receive live instruction from food safety experts without needing to travel.
Lions Club Presents Donation
Members of the Mountville Lions Club recently presented proceeds from their chicken potpie dinner to the Northern York County Regional Police Department and the West Hempfield Township Police Department in honor of three Northern York Regional police officers who were killed in an ambush on Sept. 17, 2025.
The donation was the result of a request by the owner of the Mountville Citgo, who approached the Mountville Lions and said that he would like to work
with the club to do something to show support for the fallen officers and for the local police. Due to a donation from the Mountville Citgo and the generosity of the community by those who supported the chicken potpie dinner, $1,000 was raised for the Northern York County Regional Police Department, and $500 was raised for the West Hempfield Township Police Department.
The Mountville Lions will hold its next chicken potpie supper on Saturday, March 21.
The TAP Online Food Safety Manager Certification course will also be offered. This course helps food service managers, chefs, caterers, cooks, health officials, and inspectors prepare to take a Food Protection Manager certification exam, such as ServSafe.
A textbook will be mailed before the first day’s class. After the course, participants can choose from several certification exam options, available in multiple languages. There are separate fees for the course and the exam. Participants are responsible for registering and paying for their chosen exam.
All course and exam options meet the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture requirements for the Food Employee Certification Act.
Mennonite Life Plans
Pennsylvania Dutch Language Series
Mennonite Life, 2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster, invites those who wish to learn and speak Pennsylvania Dutch, also known as Pennsylvania German, to a six-session series studying and practicing the language. The series will take place on Tuesdays, March 3 and 17, April 7 and 21, and May 5 and 19. Classes will meet from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Mennonite Life Community Room.
Class instructors will lead informal lessons based on the book “Speaking Amish: A Beginner’s Introduction to Pennsylvania German” by Lillian Stoltzfus. The book is available in the Mennonite Life store and at
www.mennonitelife.org/ shop. Lessons will focus on casual conversation, with plenty of time for practice.
People with all levels of experience are welcome, from beginners to fluent speakers. There is a suggested donation per session. Participants should plan to attend all six sessions and may register for the series by calling 717-393-9745 or emailing Ruth Martin at customercare@men nonitelife.org.
Mennonite Life’s vision is diverse communities connecting across boundaries by knowing and valuing their own and each other’s stories of life, faith, cultures, and histories.

custody mediation, which is a really tough transition for families to go through,” said Rittenhouse. “We can help find communication patterns that can have people advocate for what is most important to them. That’s one of the ways that we serve the community. Another way is through our restorative justice program for young people involved in the criminal legal system,”
She explained how that process works. “We receive referrals from juvenile justice for young folks who have gotten in trouble with the law, and we do the victim offender conferencing program,” said Rittenhouse. “We have conversations with the young person. We have conversations with the victim. If everyone agrees, we bring them together for a face-toface dialogue around what accountability means, how do we make things right when we mess up, because the reality is we’re going to mess up as humans.”
She added that the group also trains clients. “We want people to have more skills to engage proactively in constructive conflict on their own as well,” Rittenhouse said.
Anyone who would like to avail themselves of Advoz’s services can go to www .advoz.org and click on the
“Request Service” button at the top right corner of the page.
During the dinner, clients will provide anecdotal evidence of what Advoz can accomplish. “People should come to the auction if they want to support our work, and people should come to the auction if they are interested in hearing stories of reconciliation and healing,” Rittenhouse said. “I think that in a day and age where we have increased polarization and increased sensitivity across different ideologies and ways of living, we need to hear stories of folks that are connecting across differences. We need to hear stories of bridge-building. They help us to imagine new ways of being together, and our event is going to highlight stories from participants. ... I think that it will be a day of encouragement and good news that counteracts so much of the division that is present in our world.”
Rittenhouse is hopeful that hearing the accounts will encourage guests to keep contributing. “We do much of our work through volunteers,” she said. “If someone is interested in getting involved, this would be a great way to understand the work of our highly trained, community volunteers.”

Writing Circles
“It’s free writing, stream of consciousness, just get your thoughts down on paper,” he said. “I had kids writing about their dog dying. Kids wrote about their parents splitting up. They wrote about their dad in prison and wondering what he was doing while they were in class.”
In 2002, Feifer took a sabbatical and began offering his writing circles at various locations around the county, including domestic violence organizations and detention centers.
“Honestly, when I started going to the Youth Intervention Center, I was shocked by how respectful
most of the kids in the unit were,” he said. “They were eager to be heard.”
This is Feifer’s 22nd year volunteering at Manos House, where he leads writing circles with young men, facilitates joint groups with women from a local recovery house and incorporates writing into group counseling sessions.
As a former teacher, he said he most enjoys that this writing is not graded or required to fit any standards.
“There’s no rubric, no box they have to fit into,” he shared. “This writing lets people know they have a voice and a story, and they
can use their voice to tell their story. These writing circles are for people who are struggling just to survive, when we all deserve to thrive.”
Feifer’s sessions typically begin with a prompt, which could be a poem or a writing passage, but participants may write about anything they like. He also shares his own story with his writing circle, encouraging the writer to embrace the idea of putting their thoughts onto paper.
“I explain that writing slows us down and gives us time to reflect and respond and not just act
on impulse or just react,” he said.
Ultimately, he’s not concerned with the final product; instead, he’s focused on the process.
“It’s not about the quality of the writing,” he said. “It’s about the quality of the people who sit and do the writing. It’s about what comes out of them. You can hear when somebody’s heart is in their writing.”
His goal is “writing toward freedom, recovery, healing and hope.”
Participants are invited to share their writing out loud during the circles if they’d like to, and Feifer collects the writing
and responds to each submission.
“I believe in writing back to them on the back of their paper, by hand,” he said. “I read everything they submit, even if it’s not shared in the circle.”
Feifer, who grew up in Lancaster and graduated from McCaskey High School and Franklin & Marshall College, earned his teaching certificate from Millersville University. He’s been honored with local accolades as a volunteer, including receiving the Jefferson Award and a Teacher Impact Award.
He doesn’t do it for the honors, he said. Instead, he’s motivated and inspired by the change he sees in the people who join his writing circles.
“Someone will tell me, ‘This was not what I
expected, but it was what I needed,’” he said. “Writing like this allows you take off the suit of armor we all wear, let some light in and really be yourself, who you truly are.”
He encourages participants like the young men at Manos House to keep their writings to share with their parole officers as evidence of their growth in the program.
“I tell people, ‘When you take what I’m doing seriously, you’re taking yourself seriously,’” he said. “I hope that through my writing circles, I’m giving people a tool of greater personal awareness and that is giving them power.”

“Our group is getting together, and we’re giving back to the community,” said Heider. “It’s a way for our participants to get out there and do something meaningful. It’s a new expression of our programs. We reach out to organizations and go out and do some work.”
Aaron’s Acres offers its Kindness Konnections program twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Both sessions are eight weeks in length, and the group meets to perform tasks and work together on Mondays from 1 to 3 p.m.
The spring 2026 session of Kindness Konnections began on Feb. 2, and the fall session will commence on Monday, Oct. 5.
“We’re trying to create an inclusive experience,” said Heider. “We’re meeting at different locations and doing the work at (nonprof-
its’) locations. We’re open to any kind of work. But we’ve found that assemblyline-like work is the most successful.”
“Communications are absolutely a form of kindness,” added Heider. “Just giving back in any way is kindness. Personally, I think kindness is so important. It can change so many things in the world.”
At this point, participants in the Kindness Konnections program have engaged in work at Girls on the Run, the local Power Packs Project and Lafayette Fire Company. The workers have also cleaned at the North Museum of Nature and Science and the local Lives Changed By Christ (LCBC) and have assisted with a large mailing project for Servant Stage.
“We hope (participants) are getting some social skills and connecting with people,” said Heider. “Just completing a task can be super special. We’re hoping these experiences could lead to opportunities outside of our organization. Overall, being in different settings allows them to learn what other organizations do for others.”
An extension of an Aaron’s Acres’ summer camp program, Kindness Konnections was estab -

lished in the fall of 2024 to serve the families of two individuals. Currently, eight participants ages 22 to 40 are enrolled in the program.
The participants reside in Manheim, Mount Joy, Elizabethtown, Jonestown, Berks County and Dauphin County.
“(The participants are) Aaron’s Acres’ heart,” said Heider. “They’re just looking for connections. They’re our friends. It’s generally just such a community who goes out with us.”
“To me, the best part is seeing participants reacting to their abilities,” added Heider, “and finding out what they can do and how much they can do. That and the connections they make. Just seeing what can be accomplished is my favorite part.”
The Kindness Konnections program maintains a 1-to-4 staff-to-participant ratio.
“Our numbers are always dependent on staffing,” said Heider. “If our participants’ number would go higher than eight, we’d

have to hire another staff member.”
As program director, Heider assumes the lead for the Kindness Konnections program. She is assisted by counselor Hayley Wilson.
“In this population, (a staff member’s role) is a lot more guidance and oversight,” said Heider. “We’re doing more modeling. We’re always there to support in that capacity. Our role is always just to be there. Most of the work is done entirely by the participants. They’re doing their
job and we’re doing our job, and that’s what makes it complete.”
In addition to the Kindness Konnections initiative, Aaron’s Acres also sponsors summer camps for children and adults with disabilities; The Social Scene; the Chuckie Magee Flag Football and Cheerleading League; a spring sports program; Dramability; and family classes that offer activities in fitness, art and cooking.
