The Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S) High School Varsity Club welcomed Major League Baseball (MLB) player and World Series champion Travis Jankowski as a guest speaker at the club’s October Monthly Mindset Meeting. The meetings are new to the school this year and invite high school athletes and other interested students to explore how mental preparation and positive habits can lead to success both in sports and in life.
Jankowski, a Lancaster Catholic graduate who has spent more than
a decade in Major League Baseball and helped the Texas Rangers capture the 2023 World Series title, spoke at the club’s October session focused on “Routines and Habits.”
Now a Strasburg resident and owner of the new Formula Fitness at Jankowski Performance Complex, he shared how his mental approach and daily discipline have carried him through the highs and lows of professional sports.
Speaking to a room full of student-athletes, Jankowski said his success began with learning to

This year, Strausner and Palmeri, a Penn Manor High School senior, will again construct a temporary model railroad layout at West Willow United Methodist Church (UMC), 118 West Willow Road, Willow Street. Trout’s model railroad is located at 1729 Hans Herr Drive, Willow Street, and the New Danville Railroad travels the track laid out at the church, 103 Marticville Road, Lancaster. All three locations will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, Dec. 6, 13, 20, and 27, and Sundays, Dec. 7, 14, 21, and 28. At each display, organizers will receive donations of nonperishable food items and cash. Food and funds will be divided between Solanco Neighborhood Ministries and Conestoga Community Food Bank, located at Bethel Evangelical Congregational Church. Strausner reported that in 2024, more than 360 food items were donated, and $1,500 was raised by the effort.
New Danville Mennonite has had a permanent 8-by-31-foot model railroad layout in the church basement for more than a decade. A few of the buildings were hand-built by hobbyist Chubb Harnish. As a fellow aficionado, Strausner knew of the church’s layout, and he asked the New Danville
group to join in his mission. The model railroad layout is not the only attraction at the church, however. According to New Danville pastor Robert Brody, the congregation’s association with trains began a dozen years ago with an effort to build the children’s program using a popular toy. “It started with a small Lego train,” recalled Brody, who noted that this year 30,000 pieces of Legos will be available for the community to build a train display. Christopher added that an interactive wooden train set will be on-site for young children to play with. Hot chocolate and other refreshments will also be offered when the display is open. “It’s a festive time of year,” noted Brody.
Strausner’s 12-by-20foot layout focuses on his Plasticville collection, along with some circus trains and accessories provided by Ben Stiles. “It’s a 4-by-6-foot complete circus with an original 1930s toy tent as the big top,” explained Strausner. The project is a labor of love for Strausner and Palmeri, who have both been enamored of trains since they were children. By Saturday, Nov. 22, the portable layout will be installed at West Willow UMC by the duo with help from friends and family. “We can put the platform and track together in two hours,” shared Strausner. Palmeri, who is now 18, has been working on the layout with Strausner since the project began. He said that his favorite part of creating the display is working alongside his grandfather. “During this time, we both work on a project we are passionate about and have fun together,” he stated, adding that both generations contribute to the planning and details of each year’s layout. But organizing and setting up the trains is only half the fun. “The best part of hosting the display is seeing the generosity of the visitors to the food drive,” said Palmeri. “It’s truly amazing to see the care that they have for giving to those in need.” Palmeri also enjoys “spreading the message
of Christ’s birth” at the same time the project is helping the community. He pointed out that many of the visitors come for the nostalgia, while contributing to the well-being of their neighbors. “I think that people also find it fulfilling to bless others, especially during the Christmas season,” he said.
For Trout, the train display weekends offer an opportunity to bring out his vintage holiday decorations as well as share the permanent train display housed in a 1,300-squarefoot addition to his shop.
Like the other participants, Trout has been involved in model railroading since he was a child, and his collection boasts Märklin, Lionel, and American Flyer trains.
“I have standard-gauge trains from the 1930s. I have post-war Lionel from the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s,” noted Trout, adding that he has O-gauge, S-gauge, and standard-gauge trains.
Trout’s stop on the tour will also include “mechanical” department store displays. “Now they’re called animated,” said Trout, who has pieces by David Hamburger. “I have some of his elves,” shared Trout, who included Santa’s helpers in his 2024 display. Trout also owns Santa Clauses made by Harold Gale, as well as two bears that were originally in Kaufmann’s department store in Pittsburgh. “A lot of the older people loved the (animated window characters) because it takes them back to when they were kids,” shared Trout, who added that visitors to the display often show up on more than one weekend. “We have a lot of fun, and we get to meet a lot of nice people,” shared Trout. “It puts a smile on my face to see people enjoy it.”
For more information about the displays, contact Strausner at william .strausner@yahoo.com or 717-917-6922.
Trivia Event Planned
The Moravian Center of Lancaster will present a trivia contest on Saturday, Nov. 22, from 4 to 6 p.m. on the second floor of 227 N. Queen St., Lancaster. Featured trivia questions will be about music and artists from the ’50s through the ’80s. The event is free, with prizes awarded to the first-, second-, and thirdplace winners. Doors will open at 3 p.m. with snacks available for sale.

Justin Trout will display his vintage Christmas characters along with his train layout at the model railroad tour.

The plot of the movie takes place on the night of Christmas Eve, when a steam locomotive passenger train known as “The Polar Express” stops at the house of a boy who is growing skeptical about the existence of Santa Claus.

Each ticket will include the showing of the movie in the museum’s climate-controlled main exhibit hall, a container of popcorn, and hot chocolate. Children age 2 and under will be admitted for free. Tickets may be purchased at www .eventbrite.com by searching for “Holiday Movie Night at the Museum 2025.”

How To Host a Memorable Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a cherished day, with Americans celebrating the holiday on the fourth Thursday of November.
According to Pew Research, 74% of survey respondents plan to attend Thanksgiving dinners with others, while 34% will host from their own homes. For those preparing to welcome guests this year, blending planning with heartwarming traditions can create a truly memorable Thanksgiving experience. Start planning early. Menu and guest list planning can take more than two weeks, followed by a few days allotted to do some meal prep. The New York Post reports many people spend five hours actively cooking on Thanksgiving Day. AllRecipes.com indicates most Thanksgiving hosts spend about seven hours in the kitchen overall. By drafting a clear timeline for shopping, prep, cooking, and cleanup and delegating various tasks to others, Thanksgiving hosts can enjoy the holiday more. Create a smart and masterful menu. Americans consume about 46 million turkeys on Thanksgiving, according to Electro IQ. Naturally, turkey remains a focal point of Thanksgiving dinners. Many other side dishes can round out the meal, but hosts are urged to stick to familiar recipes or test new ones in advance to reduce stress. Simple, elegant offerings that are
tried and true will be well received.
Set the tone with decorating. Outfitting a home in beautiful fall décor can help create the mood for Thanksgiving. Hosts can incorporate rich, autumnal hues in browns, golds, and reds. A floral centerpiece or cornucopia in fall-toned flowers is fitting. Small pumpkins or gourds outfitted with tags can be used for name cards to help seat people at the table accordingly, separating anyone who may clash.
Remember the focus of the day. Thanksgiving is about food, but it is also about warmth and connection with others. Having guests share things they are thankful for or offering a pre-meal prayer helps set a thankful tone. Pew Research Center indicates that 65% of Thanksgiving dinners include a prayer or a blessing.
Set aside extras. Thanksgiving may be a holiday of excess, with many holiday hosts cooking up more than everyone can possibly consume. Inviting extra people to dinner who may no longer have extended families may ensure that food will be finished; otherwise, having plenty of to-go containers at the ready enables guests to take home leftovers so food does not go to waste.
Hosting a memorable Thanksgiving holiday is about the joy of sharing moments with friends and family and enjoying delicious food.

PennDOT Provides Tips for Wintry Weather
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) recently offered ways the public can prepare for the winter season. Members of the public can access travel information on nearly 40,000 state-maintained roadway miles year-round at www.511PA.com, and during the winter, they can find plow-truck locations and details of when state-maintained roadways were last plowed. The information is provided via PennDOT’s Automated Vehicle Location technology, which uses units in the department-owned and rented plow trucks to send a cellular signal showing a truck’s location.
To help the public prepare for the season and share information about winter services, PennDOT
offers operational information and traveler resources at www.pa.gov/agencies/ penndot/traveling-in-pa/ winter. The site also has a complete winter guide with detailed information about winter services in each of PennDOT’s 11 engineering districts.
Motorists should prepare for potential wintry weather by ensuring they have supplies in their cars before heading out, including food, water, blankets, extra gloves and hats, a cellphone charger, hand or foot warmers, a windshield brush and scraper, and any specialized items like medications or baby and pet supplies.
If motorists encounter snow- or ice-covered roads, they should slow down, increase their following distance, and avoid distractions.
LBC Students To Perform at The Trust
Lancaster Bible College (LBC) student musicians will present a fall choral concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 23, at The Trust Performing Arts Center, 37 N. Market St., Lancaster.
Under the guidance of director of choral studies Robert Gibson, the perfor-
mance is titled “New Beginnings” and will include music from various musical eras while fusing traditional hymns and songs with modern genres. The concert is pay-whatyou-will, and tickets may be reserved at www.lbc.edu/ events.
Hope Lancaster. “At the gift fair, we focus on quality over quantity. There’s a hashtag that says, ‘Put your money where your heart is.’ It’s a good way to think about your spending habits, like giving gifts that have been repurposed. It’s thinking creatively and outside of the box.”
Gifts That Give Hope’s upcoming gift fair is not your typical gift fair. This year’s edition of the in-person portion of the annual hybrid shopping event will be conducted from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 30, at Lancaster Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.
The event is free to attend, and the proceeds from the sale of the meaningful gifts will go to the nonprofits represented at the fair.
“There’s a palpable energy at the gift fair,” said Knepper. “It’s a positive, uplifting kind of vibe. I hate big crowds, but everyone is there for the common good. Everyone is coming there seeking opportunities to give contributions or to get involved. It’s an opportunity to get plugged into the community.”
Gifts That Give Hope’s gift fair will feature items, merchandise and services offered by 35 nonprofit vendors and 20 marketplace vendors.
The nonprofits typically offer services that can also serve as charitable contributions, like music lessons, medical care, mentoring and training. At the marketplace, the vendors usually sell more tangible merchandise like soaps, jewelry and repurposed clothing.
Adding to the festive mood will be live music and food trucks.
“Everything there goes back to a socially conscious effort,” said Knepper. “I think we all feel a sense that the world feels so heavy. I think the people at the fair are trying to do their best to make the world a better place.”
“Every nonprofit has a story,” continued Knepper. “I think everybody right now is looking for ways to connect with these types of efforts. A small group can change the world. We all can chip away in our spheres of influence to make impacts in areas.”
As many as 1,500 individuals from Lancaster County and beyond are expected to attend the gift fair. Gifts That Give Hope officials are hoping to raise $35,000 for the participating nonprofits.
The gift fair also offers online shopping opportunities, which can be viewed at https://giftsthatgive hopelancaster.org.
“We keep tabs on all the contributions to the various nonprofits,” said Knepper. “When all is said and done, our accountants tabulate everything and write a check to each of those nonprofits. It’s whatever the customers purchase from each nonprofit. It’s up to the nonprofits to promote their items. It’s usually things people can identify with that tend to do well.”
“You want the people who come to the fair to feel like it’s worth their time,” she added. “Receiving gifts is one of the five love languages, and some people love giving gifts. I think giving a good gift is knowing what’s important to people. I don’t think we need more stuff. It’s about thinking about the recipient. I try to give gifts from what I know about the person.”
There’s also a social aspect associated with the gift fair. It can allow attendees to share experiences and get involved, and it can provide nonprofits with opportunities to collaborate and share resources.
“What the nonprofits have told me is that it’s not about the donations;
it’s about the connections,” said Knepper. “A lot of nonprofits meet people who are doing similar work and start sharing resources. That’s a benefit that you’re not able to quantify.”
Gifts That Give Hope was established in 2008 when Knepper found out about a similar initiative spearheaded by a group of women in Harrisburg. She could find no reasons that the concept wouldn’t fly in generous Lancaster County.
Since its inception, the gift fair has generated a total of over $500,000 for nonprofits.
“I’d love for people who have never been to the fair to feel intrigued,” said Knepper. “I always challenge the status quo, like, ‘let’s do it differently.’ I want the gift fair to feel
appealing to a wide variety of people. I want to pique their interest.”

A Woman’s Concern (AWC) recently received a new ultrasound machine, made possible through the generosity of the Knights of Columbus and the support of many donors. The fundraising campaign surpassed its goal, enabling AWC to also secure an extended warranty for the piece of equipment.
The Knights of Columbus provided the center’s first ultrasound machine in Pennsylvania 25 years ago.
Jill Hartman, executive director of AWC, emphasized that ultrasound technology plays an essential role in supporting women’s health. The new machine strengthens AWC’s mission to support both mothers and fathers facing unplanned pregnancies at no cost to them. The organization’s men’s program
complements this effort by reaching fathers, who often play a key role in pregnancy decisions.
A celebration and blessing of the ultrasound machine was held on Sept. 29.

handle failure. “It’s really easy to be happy when things are going well,” he said. “But it’s when you fail that your true character shows. I never let the game define who I was. I’m a Christian, a man of faith. I know I’m defined by what Jesus says I am - sports is what I do, not who I am.”
Jankowski told students that baseball and life are overwhelmingly mental. “People say baseball is 90% mental - I’d say it’s 98 or 99%,” he explained. “You’re going to have stretches where you fail over and over. The question is, how do you respond?” His answer came down to faith, consistency, and routine.
To illustrate the power of habit, Jankowski walked students through a typical day during his 11-year MLB career. Though playing a 7 p.m. game under the lights seems glamorous on the surface, it actually requires a day packed with structure and discipline. His mornings began early with breakfast and family time, followed by hours of physical training, film study, hitting practice, and strategy meetings before the first pitch. “From 10 a.m. until 7 p.m., it’s nonstop,” he said. “Routine is what keeps me grounded in a game that’s full of ups and downs. It’s my constant.”
Even after the final out, Jankowski said, his day didn’t end until he had mentally reset. “I never left the field with baseball on my mind,” he said. “When I got home, I needed to be a husband and a dad. If that meant sitting at my locker for 20 minutes to decompress after a bad game, I did it. My family deserves all of me, not what’s left over after baseball.”
Jankowski urged students to develop their own routines and to stick with them. “Find what works for you and be disciplined with it,” he said. “Every decision you make builds momentum. Good or bad, those decisions shape where you end up.”
After Jankowski’s remarks, Varsity Club adviser Todd Garber and Jeffrey Swarr, both high school teachers and baseball coaches, connected his message to the club’s ongoing mindset curriculum. They led students through an acronym-based discussion of active listening and engagement, skills that are as valuable in the classroom as on the field. The session also included short motivational clips from public figures like author Mel Robbins and Duke University women’s basketball coach Kara Lawson, emphasizing confidence, self-discipline, and the importance of elim-
inating “losing habits” before they take hold.
When the conversation returned to Jankowski, he reinforced one of his core values: taking ownership. “Excuses are my biggest pet peeve,” he said. “Failure isn’t bad - it’s just another way to learn what doesn’t work. But when you make excuses, you stop learning. Don’t transfer blame to your coaches, your teammates, or the officials. Own it. That’s how you grow.”
He applied the lesson directly to the field. “Umpires make bad calls. It happens,” Jankowski said. “But if you let that affect your attitude, you’ve already lost focus. I can’t control the umpire. I can only control my reaction. That’s true in baseball, basketball, football, and in life. Success starts with how you respond.”
As the meeting concluded, students reflected on their own “above-theline” and “below-theline” behaviors, habits that can support or undermine performance.
For Jankowski, that exercise summarized his message perfectly. “Discipline, preparation, and ownership,” he told them. “Those are the habits that build champions.”

Where Young Men Find New Beginnings
BY CAT SHANNON
Within the walls of Manos House in Columbia, a new generation is finding its footing. At the nonprofit residential program for young men ages 14 to 20 with drug and alcohol histories, transformation happens every day through structure, compassion and a belief in second chances.
“We focus on a holistic approach,” said executive director Chris Runkle. “We serve their needs from the substance use side, but we also serve their educational and emotional health needs as well.”
Manos House has been guiding young men through that challenge since 1972.
Originally founded as a halfway house for adults transitioning out of prison, the organization shifted its focus to adolescents, offering substance use treatment, counseling and education under one roof.
The education piece was
especially needed, Runkle said.
“Our kids are coming in highly deficient in academic credits,” he explained. “We may get an 18-year-old who has zero high school credits.”
To remedy the issue, Manos House opened Prospect Grove High School, an on-site school with certified teachers and a small student-to-teacher ratio.
Although the school helped with one piece of the problem, the young men needed support in another area as well.
“We were seeing the young men being discharged after completing their program, but then we realized the homes they were going to weren’t supportive,” Runkle said. “There might be addiction in the home, or they might be going back to a peer group and social network that’s not good for their recovery efforts.”
To address the issue, Manos House opened a supervised independent living program, providing
inpatient residential care as the men transition out of high school.
Manos House originated in downtown Lancaster, but even after one move in the city, it outgrew the space.
Today, the Manos House campus spans 14 acres and includes residential housing, classrooms, therapy spaces and an independent living program. It can accommodate up to 43 young men in the program, with an additional 18 beds in independent living. Students come to Manos House from across the state and into Maryland.
Days are highly structured. Each morning begins with a 6 a.m. wake-up call, followed by breakfast in the cafeteria and high school classes until noon. After a family-style cafeteria lunch, students spend time in therapy sessions focused on their specific needs.
“We are a strong proponent of not telling you what you need to do,” Runkle commented. “We would much rather come alongside you and say, ‘You’re here. You probably don’t want to be here, but what are some things you want to work on? Can we build a treatment plan around you being

including support from Lancaster’s ExtraGive, happening on Friday, Nov. 21. In a typical year, Manos House might see a deficit of $100,000 that’s unfunded by any of its revenue streams, but families are never billed for services.
The on-site school also operates year-round but only receives state funding for a typical 180-day school year. Since students come to Manos House all year long, it’s important for them to be able to jump right into school even if they arrive in July, Runkle said. Finding funding for teachers, staff and other expenses during that time is an ongoing challenge.
“We don’t turn individuals away,” Runkle said, “but we need support for those cases where there’s no insurance or where we have extra funding needs.”
After school and on the weekends, residents may participate in activities ranging from more therapy to recreational time to play basketball or enjoy the on-site rec room. Evening programming during the week focuses on partnerships Manos House has developed with community groups. Students might participate in writing circles led by a retired Hempfield English teacher. Columbia Christian Fellowship, which leases space on the property for church services, offers Cell 13, a faith-based Wednesday night program. The guys also work with Lancaster Art Room, which is located on the property; complete service projects with their neighbors at St. Anne’s Retirement Community; and meet weekly with Mennonite families that come in for Bible studies, games and socializing.
The young men also enjoy community outings to football games or corn mazes before lights out at 8:30 p.m. during the week.
Manos House operates as a 501(c)(3), and the program relies on insurance, grants and community donations,
Students may spend just a few months or up to a year at Manos House, with some transitioning to the resident program beyond that. But every young man who walks through the doors has the same opportunity to transform his life, Runkle said.
“We’re planting seeds here,” he shared. “We’re setting them up with what they need to be successful in life, and we’re doing that alongside them. Facing addiction as a 14- to 20-year-old is difficult. Addiction at any age is difficult. But we’re telling a teenager, ‘Everything that’s ever worked for you is nearsighted and doesn’t serve you in the long run. Everything that has provided you comfort in the past, we need you to give that up.’ Naturally, they struggle with that. But every day, we work on those struggles with care and compassion.”
