LCCF Has Got Monetary Awards for Weavers

BY JEFF FALK

Weavers see the big picture. Weavers are servants. Weavers unite communities.

Weavers are leaders.

The new Weaver Awards from the Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF) promote, advocate for and celebrate weaving - not the textile, yarns or thread type, but the social fabric kind.

“A weaver is someone who sees a need and invites their neighbors to pitch in and find a solution,” said Val Schade, LCCF’s communications manager. “They understand that a healthy community strengthens all of us and creates opportunities to build strong, lasting relationships in everyday places. A weaver may lead a monthly river cleanup, or have started a board game club for seniors, or host a book club or lead a group of stay-at-home parents. There are so many ways you can

build lasting relationships and weave our community together.”

Through a national Weaver Awards program, LCCF is distributing 20 awards of $2,500 - a total of $50,000 - to people or small organizations that foster connections in Lancaster County. Individuals or nonprofits can apply for or nominate others for the awards at www.weavelancastercounty.org through Friday, July 24.

Applicants must be 18 or older, serve or reside in Lancaster County, have a project that fosters relationships and be welcoming to any neighbor seeking to participate in the initiative. Organizations that apply must have an annual budget below $250,000. All completed applications will be reviewed by Lancaster County Weaver Awards team members and community members.

Successful recipients of the awards will be notified in September, and winners will be recognized

Some would have you believe that money makes the world go ’round. The Lancaster County Career & Technology Foundation (LCCTF) is of the opinion that young people need money - or scholarships and grants - to make money.

“Scholarships and workforce grants are investments in students’ futures,” said Jennifer Baker, who’s been the executive director of LCCTF for seven years. “They help students complete their education, enter the workforce with valuable skills and credentials, and pursue careers that offer long-term stability, growth

and opportunity. Scholarships and workforce grants help remove financial barriers so students can access education, training, equipment and certifications needed to prepare for successful careers in high-demand fields.”

Recently, LCCTF distributed a total of $87,000 - $46,500 in workplace grants and $40,500 in scholarships - to nearly 70 adult students and recently graduated high school students from almost every public school district in Lancaster County. The $87,000 total represented the most that LCCTF has ever awarded in its 23 years of blessing students.

Scholarships are applied to costs related to continuing education. Workforce grants are

Companies Announce New Leadership

Horst Construction and Horst Excavating have announced that Harry F. Scheid II, who served as president of both organizations, retired from his role effective June 29, after nearly 40 years of service at Horst.

Scheid began his career at Horst in 1987, working his way through various roles within the organization before being named president of Horst Construction and Horst Excavating in 2007. In the following 18 years, Scheid’s leadership and vision drove the success of Horst’s operations and solidified the company’s presence in the commercial construction market throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

During his tenure, Scheid led initiatives to expand the company’s footprint, defined key processes integral to the company’s success, and sought to develop a culture built on trust and grit. Scheid has shifted to

an advisory role as chief executive officer for both companies, staying on the team in a more limited capacity to provide mentorship and ensure a smooth transition period.

Meanwhile, Kenneth J. Fetterolf has assumed the role of president at Horst Construction.

Fetterolf is not new to the team, having served as the vice president of operations since 2010. He has worked in the construction industry in various capacities for over 30 years.

For Horst Excavating, Jason Hess has been appointed president. Hess is also a tenured Horst employee, having joined the team in 2012 and worked as a director of project management, eventually taking on the role of vice president of operations in 2024. Hess has been involved in the sitework industry in various capacities for over 25 years.

Volunteers Make Wolf Sanctuary Howling Success

BY JEFF FALK

At the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania, staff members have a difficult time imagining a world without volunteers.

“I think (an absence of volunteers) would truly affect how we operate,” said Michelle Vandernewt, the education coordinator at Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania. “We started as a volunteer organization. The volunteer program is our backbone. All of our tour guides are volunteers. They come here in all kinds of weather. Some have been here a long time.”

A popular Lancaster County tourist attraction located at 465 Speedwell Forge Road, Lititz, the 80-acre Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania is home to nearly 50 rescued and relocated wolves. The task of maintaining and operating the wildlife refuge and caring for the wolves in their natural setting can be daunting, but it is one performed by 10

paid staff members and more than 50 dedicated volunteers.

“They are people who fell in love with wolves,” said Vandernewt. “They’re people who genuinely care about wolves. They are people who like helping with wildlife. Our volunteers have such a passion for what they do.”

To express their appreciation for their contributions, officials at the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania recognize those efforts through posts on social media. The posts, which include photos and short narratives, are typically made on the anniversary of the volunteers’ start days, or “rescue dates.”

“We try to honor them publicly, and we try to express our gratitude when they’re here,” said Vandernewt.

Volunteers at the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania typically work five- to sixhour shifts. Many of the volunteers are local, but some drive as much as two

Dyslexia Center Holds Graduation

Heather Brown (back, far left), director of the Children’s Dyslexia Center of Lancaster, celebrated with program graduates (continuing right) Weston Elmore, Chloe Britcher-Walters, Olivia Walburn, Bryce Moyer, (front) Xander Hester, Cian Rice, and Rowan Suckau.

The Children’s Dyslexia Center of Lancaster held its 21st annual Celebration of Achievement on June 7

at Stayer Hall, located on Millersville University’s campus. Seven graduates from the program were in attendance: Chloe Britcher-Walters, Weston Elmore, Xander Hester, Bryce Moyer, Cian Rice, Rowan Suckau, and Olivia Walburn.

Heather Brown, director of the center, presented each graduate with a certificate; a personalized booklet of his or her reading journey; and an autograph bear, the mascot adopted by the Children’s Dyslexia Centers Inc., as a keepsake. Students presented words of thanks to their tutors and the board of governors for the services they received. The event concluded with an ice cream social.

The center, sponsored by Scottish Rite Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, is one of six Children’s Dyslexia Centers in Pennsylvania; the sites provide tutoring at no charge to children from elementary through high school who fit a dyslexic profile. The center recently moved from downtown Lancaster to Millersville’s campus.

At the end of the school year’s third marking period in March, the application process, which included written essays, financial information and grades, was opened to students. The applications were reviewed by school counselors and program directors, and their recommendations were passed along to the LCCTF.

A majority of LCCTF’s workplace grants and scholarships are funded through the organization’s Fly on the Run fundraiser, which features a banquet and a fly-fishing tournament at Millport Conservancy in Warwick Township. Other awards are funded through private donors.

This year, LCCTF raised more than $140,000 in support of students and education programs.

“These scholarships and workforce grants have a transformative impact on students’ lives,” said Baker. “These awards not only help students overcome financial barriers but also empower them to pursue rewarding careers and achieve their full potential. As Lancaster County continues to face a growing demand for skilled workers, these students represent the next generation of talent entering critical industries and strengthening our local workforce pipeline.

“It’s the generosity of the donors whose investments

Children are eligible regardless of economic status, and they do not need a dyslexia diagnosis to attend. As the basis for tutoring and tutor training, the center uses the Structured Literacy approach - a sequential, multisensory, phonetic approach to language, based on the Orton-Gillingham method. Nearly 300 children have received services through the center since its opening in 2002.

make these opportunities possible,” continued Baker.

“Through scholarships and workforce grants, the foundation fulfills its mission of supporting career and technical education that will benefit Lancaster County for years to come.”

Since its inception in 2003, LCCTF has raised over $7 million toward its mission of supporting the Lancaster County Career and Technology Center

(LCCTC), which operates four campuses in the county. There were 1,784 adult students enrolled in LCCTC programs during the 2025-26 school year, and LCCTC’s high school enrollment for 2026-27 is expected to exceed 1,650 students from every public school district in Lancaster County.

“Beyond these scholarships and grants, the LCCTF supports the

LCCTC by awarding teacher innovation grants for new program equipment, supporting student assistance programs and providing for the workforce talent initiative - a program that recruits, educates and places adult students into high demand, skilled advanced manufacturing and transportation jobs like CDL and welding,” said Baker.

at a public celebration on Thursday, Oct. 1.

“We know that no matter the size of their platform or influence, weavers are the ones seeing needs and inviting their neighbors to pitch in and find a solution,” said Tracy Cutler, LCCF’s executive vice president. “They’re the ones creating opportunities to build strong, lasting relationships in their own backyards, on their blocks, at the park or in the coffee shop. They’re doing things like creating gardens, managing regular creek cleanups, organizing walking groups or hosting clubs at libraries. Weavers understand that a healthy community strengthens all of us.”

“We know there are countless folks in Lancaster County who are weaving their community together, so we hope to see many nominations come in,” said Schade.

“The Lancaster County community is incredibly varied,” said Schade. “There

are so many types of people from so many different backgrounds who are interested in so many different things. But one thing we all have in common is our love and care for each other and this place. The community is uniquely committed to making Lancaster County strong, vibrant and resilient.”

Established in 1924, LCCF, which is located at 24 W. King St., Suite 201, Lancaster, has been responsibly stewarding the community’s endowment for more than a century. Currently, the foundation manages nearly $269 million in funds that support Lancaster County.

“The community foundation works with people throughout Lancaster County to care for what we all have in common - Lancaster County,” said Schade. “The Weaver Awards is a unique opportunity to bring a national movement to our community that celebrates and elevates people who are building connection and trust with their neighbors and co-workers.

“We create impact by working with donors and volunteers to grant money to local organizations and students,” concluded Schade. “We inspire giving by helping individuals, families and organizations support causes they care about. We ignite action by bringing people with different experiences, perspectives and ideas together to care for what we all have in common. We look forward with optimism by simultaneously meeting today’s needs and shaping our shared tomorrow.”

“My background has given me experience not only in animal behavior and care, but also in supporting people through stressful and emotional situations involving their pets,” she said. “Becoming an end-oflife pet doula felt like a natural extension of the work I’ve already spent much of my life doing - caring for both animals and the humans who love them.”

loss of a pet can impact someone just as profoundly as the loss of any beloved family member.”

She also wants to convey the message that providing pet doula services is about more than navigating a pet’s death.

“End-of-life support is not just about the final day,” she said. “In many cases, support begins much earlier - during the aging process, after a difficult diagnosis or when families begin noticing changes in their pet and feeling uncertain about what comes next.”

“Some people are looking for guidance with an aging pet, while others may need emotional support surrounding a recent diagnosis or upcoming euthanasia,” Page said. “From there, we discuss what services would feel most helpful and supportive for them.”

“I am also navigating life with my 16-year-old dachshund, Sullivan, who has dementia,” she said. “Caring for him has shown me firsthand how much support aging pets - and their people - truly need. From medication routines and environmental adjustments to the emotional weight of anticipatory grief, there are so many layers families are trying to manage.”

When serving as an end-of-life pet doula, Page hopes to help reduce some of the overwhelming and isolating aspects of a pet’s death, including the guilt and emotional exhaustion people can experience.

“My role is not to replace veterinary care, but to walk beside families through the emotional and practical parts of the journey with compassion and without judgment,” she said. “Sometimes people simply need someone who understands how profound this bond and loss truly are.”

On any given day, as many as 15 individuals are volunteering at the wolf sanctuary. The volunteers’ work is scheduled based on their availability.

“I really think it’s the wolves,” said Vandernewt. “Volunteers visit before their interviews, and some fall in love with the wolves. They can’t help but stick around.”

Among the duties performed by volunteers at the wolf sanctuary are tour guiding, animal care, cleaning and general operational duties.

The Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania hosts large fundraisers and offers guided and self-guided tours. When conditions are right, the wildlife refuge can host as many as 2,500 visitors per month.

“Our volunteers are great at interacting with the

The Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania was founded by Lititz residents Bill and Barbara Darlington in 1980.

The facility was a private sanctuary before becoming

a nonprofit in 1993.

As it has evolved over the years, the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania has added to its resident wolf population, hired more staff members and reinvented its methods for educating the public about wolves. For additional information, go to www.wolf sanctuarypa.org.

Youths Qualify for National Esports Competition

Twelve youth esports athletes from central Pennsylvania traveled to Orlando, Fla., from June 25 to 28 to compete in the Esports Series Championship Nationals at Full Sail University. The event brought together players from across the United States for live competition in Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rocket League, Valorant, Minecraft, Overwatch 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Marvel Rivals, and other titles.

The 12 central Pennsylvania players represented Valhallan Esports Training locations in Camp Hill and Lancaster, and they come from communities across the region, including Lancaster, Camp Hill, Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, and Chambersburg. The students qualified through competitive league play and competed in Fortnite and Apex Legends.

The players qualified as members of six teams. In the Fortnite competition, the players and their teams are as follows: Jack Butler and Jordan Flores, the Chefs; Eli Schwalm and Lachlan Shamenek, GUFF; Brady Mace and Shawn Cook,

Famous People; and Ethan Hernandez and Roland Benion, Newbies. In the Apex Legends competition, players Collin Lehman, Alex Markan, and Will Markan competed as members of the Ravens, while Ethan Hernandez, Brady Mace, and Bo Ritter served as members of Stormborn.

Several players have trained with Valhallan for more than two years, while others are newer competitors who rapidly advanced through the program’s coaching and competitive development system. Organizers say the esports program focuses on skills such as teamwork, communication, leadership, discipline, resilience, and sportsmanship. It also offers opportunities to earn scholarships.

Valhallan Esports Training provides structured youth esports programs focused on coaching, competitive leagues, STEM learning, camps, and personal development. Through team-based competition and mentorship, students work to develop gaming skills alongside communication, leadership, confidence, and teamwork.
