Adults Sought to Join Mentorship Program

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Adults looking to make a direct impact on the lives of local youths are encouraged to consider taking part in The Factory Ministries’ Braves Mentorship program. As part of the after-school activity, adult mentors are needed to work with students in third through fifth grades on Tuesdays from March 24 through May 26 from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m.

While it can be helpful if mentors have some experience working with young students, it is not a requirement. “(Mentors can be) anyone who is a positive adult who is interested in getting to know a student and being able to encourage them,” said Liana Rogers, the first- through eighth-grade program and family outreach coordinator at The Factory Ministries. “(Mentors can be) a range of ages. I have high school students (as mentors) - as long as they

are willing to listen to kids and want to spend time with them and get to know them and encourage their strengths and talk with them about their problems.”

“Age is less of a concern to me than character,” she added.

CRC Serves as Caretaker of Conestoga River

BY JEFF FALK

It’s a club. It’s a group of individuals who share values, experiences and a vision.

Members of the Conestoga River Club (CRC) believe that if they take care of the river, the Conestoga River will take care of them.

“Why does the river matter? Because it brings us together,” said Todd Roy, the program director and founder of the CRC. “If we don’t take care of this planet we live on, we lose our right to do that. We have to work with our neighbors because it’s a great, big job. Why does the river matter? Because we matter.”

CRC is an environmental club, it’s a recreational club, it’s a community club. The club is dedicated to taking care of, advocating for, conserving and educating about the 60-mile Conestoga River, Lancaster County’s river.

Children’s Book to Honor Late Grandmother

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Kimberly Mowery of Intercourse, an author of biblically based children’s books, recently released her third book, “Finding the Leader.” The latest story is part of “The Pilgrimage of Jacki and Gerri” series, which is designed to honor Mowery’s grandmother

by retelling her personal history. Each book in the series tells the story of Jacqueline Ann and Geraldine Doris, twin sisters that Mowery’s grandmother, Sarah June, lost in 1940. After the girls’ death, they were never spoken about again.

“I didn’t know my grandmother had twins until I was 14 years old,”

CRC doesn’t maintain a brick-and-mortar headquarters or clubhouse; it performs its service work in and around the water. But the club does conduct quarterly volunteer meetings at Rhoads Energy Corporation, 205 Hazel St., Lancaster, including an upcoming one from 8 a.m. to noon on Thursday, April 2.

“We’re very much a grassroots organization,” said Roy. “We teach what we know. We teach how to kayak safely. We teach how to leave the Earth a better place than we found it. What we do is different. Instead of talking about it, we figure it out and do it.”

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.

Grocery Aisle

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 717393-9745 or emailing Ruth Martin at customercare@ mennonitelife.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.

Mentoring is part of The Factory’s after-school program for students. “The club takes place from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m., but I only need mentors from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m.,” Rogers explained. “The kids come right after school. We have a snack and free time, and we go to the gym and play games. We have lots of games and toys in our Braves room that has a lot of fun stuff. (After the mentors arrive), we do a short circle time or ice breaker and start journal time.”

Mentors are paired with the same student each week for the duration of the program as they work through the Big Life Journal, which includes stories, illustrations and guided activities.

“The Life Journal is a resource. It’s 10 chapters - one chapter per week,” noted Rogers. “Each chapter focuses on a different character strength. The first one is ‘Believe in Yourself.’ There is a short story they read together, and they can go through the questions and have a discussion. The journal is really helpful if you don’t know what to say. It is a guided time.”

a long way to build that relationship.”

Because the discussion is flexible, students can also talk about activities in their own lives or any problems they may be having. “Most of (the mentees) are eager, (but) it does take time to build a relationship,” said Rogers. “When you are consistent and show them you are there for them and care about them, that goes

PennDOT Posts Traffic Safety Survey

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is seeking input from Pennsylvanians on traffic safety and driving behaviors through an anonymous online survey that will be available through Saturday, Feb. 28, at www.pa.gov/dot safety. The survey will help inform PennDOT on how it can continue to improve traffic safety and save lives across the commonwealth.

PennDOT invests nearly $30 million annually in federal grant funds statewide, partnering with educational and enforcement grantees,

to deliver programming each year to help prevent crashes, fatalities, and injuries on roadways. This survey seeks information on drivers’ behavior behind the wheel to better inform PennDOT’s program planning. The voluntary survey covers several topics, including seat belt use, impaired driving, speeding, and distracted driving, as well as bicycle, pedestrian, and motorcycle safety.

For more information on PennDOT’s highway safety efforts, visit www.pa.gov/ dotsafety.

She noted that mentors benefit from the experience as well. “It is rewarding. It is encouraging to get to know a student,” Rogers said. “When I was in high school, I was a mentor and the student I mentored was in third grade. Now she is in eighth grade and is a youth center student at The Factory. It’s cool to see her every week in a new stage of her life.”

Those interested in mentoring are asked to contact

Rogers at 717-847-9822 or liana@thefactoryministries.com. Mentors must have Pennsylvania state clearances to work with children and take part in a video training program.

The Factory’s afterschool program takes place in the Brave Kids Learning Center, 3293 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise. For more information about The Factory and its programs, visit www .thefactoryministries.com or www.facebook.com/ TheFactoryMinistries.

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Throughout college, I worked part time at a grocery store to help with expenses - my first real job. I was only there for a little over four years, but it left me with a lifetime of memories

and lifelong friendships. We worked hard at the supermarket, but because we were people in our teens and early 20s, we also liked to have fun. We had parties in the back room during the holiday season, complete with music and dancing. We also played fun games like turkey bowling, which involved stacks of canned goods and rolling frozen turkeys. One of our co-workers named Tommy would eat anything on a dare. I saw him eat an entire apple pie for $10.

Much of the activity took place in our breakroom where we could enjoy lots of free coffee as well as “damaged” baked goods like doughnuts and cookies with compromised packaging. There were also plenty of bags of candy that got sliced open by a box cutter. Truthfully, some of those goodies were not damaged “accidentally.”

We also had nicknames for many of our repeat customers. A lady we called Speed Shopper spent at least an hour in the aisles carefully checking each product she bought for expiration dates.

diaper. Despite the children, she was always smartly dressed and styled. One of my co-workers said that she looked like a Disney princess complete with golden slippers, which is where the name came from.

Another mysterious gentleman came in every Friday night and purchased two cans of tuna fish and a container of parsley. We never could figure out why or what he needed those products for. Maybe a treat for his cats?

And then there was Cash Man, who could not resist displaying his wallet and his supply of large bills. We don’t know what he did for a living and where he earned so much money.

Back then, people paid with check or cash, and we actually had to learn the lost art of counting change. We also had to count manufacturers’ coupons by hand. If fact, when I first started, the there were no scanners. We had to manually punch in prices.

One co-worker joined the Air Force, while my best friend, whom I met there, now works as a technician in the operating room at a local hospital. Out of that store came a pharmaceutical executive, a lineman, a carpenter and a business owner, among other professions. But although we have our own careers, we never forgot where we got our start - where we learned the importance of working hard and teamwork.

Under the guidance of our manager, we also developed pride in our work and pride in our store. We kept the store as clean as possible, and we rotated products to assure freshness. The young men in the store even had to wear ties.

Another woman, whom we named Golden Slippers, regularly visited the store with her many children, whom she tried to control without much success. One time, one of them broke free and streaked down the dog food aisle wearing only a

Many friendships and relationships formed through the years. One couple that met at the grocery store is still married today. They had a mixed relationship - she worked in the deli, and he worked as a butcher in the meat room.

Many of us went on to careers after our stint at the grocery store, which was really just a steppingstone. I, of course, became a writer.

Believe it or not, my grocery store friends and I still meet for Saturday lunch once a month, which is something we have been doing for years. During our lunches, we reminisce about those days and also talk about our current lives. We often wonder what happened to the tuna fish man, to Speed Shopper and to Golden Slippers now that her children are all grown. And does Cash Man now use alternate methods of paying for his groceries?

The lunches are great fun. Our manager still attends, and so does Tommy. And although he no longer eats great quantities of food for money, he still has an affinity for apple pie.

People who attend the annual Advoz fundraising dinner and auction will hear firsthand accounts of the people the organization has assisted while helping to ensure the work will continue.

The event will be held Thursday, March 26, at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Lancaster, 2400 Willow Street Pike, Lancaster. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.; dinner will start at 6 p.m. and will feature a sitdown, plated meal.

Go to www.aroundthe table.org to register. The deadline is Saturday, March 7.

Items up for bid will include a weeklong stay at a cottage in Ecuador; a weekend at an Airbnb near Elizabethtown; works by local artists and themed baskets such as a reader’s basket donated by Advoz’s Restorative Justice Book Club, a Family Movie Night basket, and a Bird Lovers basket including two

handmade birdhouses.

“We are a local organization, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, serving primarily Lancaster County with services in conflict resolution, mediation services, restorative justice services, and training,” executive director Krista Rittenhouse said. “One of the ways we describe it is helping people navigate through critical moments in their lives.”

She went on to list the variety of services Advoz provides. “We support folks through mediation, through divorce and 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-to-face dialogue around what accountability means, how do we make

scholarships, safety training, overnight camping trips, fun floats and fundraisers. But one of the club’s main focuses is both large-scale cleaning and the maintenance of the Conestoga River, activities that have netted more 67 tons of trash; more than 7,000 tires; and even the odd dumpster, picnic table and trailer.

“Life looks different from the water - not just the world, all of life,” said Roy, a resident of East Petersburg.

“When you’re on the water, you care a lot more about what’s in it. If we can heal the water, we can heal the world.”

Through its outreach efforts, CRC reaches an audience of more than 2,000 like-minded individuals - mainly residents from all parts of Lancaster County - 300 of whom are members and 40 of whom are actively involved volunteers. CRC’s mission is supported by many prominent business partners and organizations, including the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, Lancaster County Conservation District and Lancaster Conservancy.

“They are people who like what we’re doing,” said Roy.

“There is so much energy around the Conestoga River Club. You don’t do this stuff for fun. You do it for intentionality. When you build that kind of rapport with people, it starts to mean something.”

The Conestoga River forms near Morgantown and intersects the width of Lancaster County from northeast to southwest before depositing its waters into the Susquehanna River at Safe Harbor. While only 32.5 miles of the Conestoga are navigable, the river runs through 14 Lancaster County townships and municipalities, including West Earl Township, Upper Leacock Township, East Lampeter Township and Ephrata Township.

The Conestoga River can be accessed through 14 launch facilities - offering various levels of amenities - including one at Sylvan B. Fisher Park in West Earl Township.

“It is our river. It is Lancaster County’s river,” said Roy. “The history of the Conestoga River is the history of Lancaster County. There’s a lot to learn on the Conestoga, like stream

health. We teach how to live better in your own backyard.”

CRC’s work is funded through government and foundation grants, but the organization also financially benefits from fundraisers and the staging of paid events.

Roy founded CRC in June of 2020.

“Our goal is to be on the Conestoga every day of the summer,” said Roy. “We work with the county parks and recreation department. We also work with volunteer fire companies. We’re doing more now than ever before.”

“Five years ago, no one was doing anything, and now we are,” he continued. “Now we have a plan, and we have people who have bought in. It is in its infancy, and it’s growing fast. We’re doing what I like to think of as responsive maintenance or proactive care of the river.”

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 encourage-

ment 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.”

said Mowery, who grew up in Parkesburg and attended Octorara schools.

In 2014, Mowery set out to learn more about the twins. She found their burial site in Ohio and through cemetery records learned that the girls had been born prematurely on Jan. 23, 1940. Jacqueline was stillborn, and Geraldine lived 48 hours.

After Mowery and her husband, Dennis, had three sons, they, too, lost their daughter, who was named Sarah June, in 2005 at the age of 16 months. Coincidentally, Sarah June Mowery died from a cancerous brain tumor on Jan. 24, close to the birthdate of the twins.

This led to Mowery’s decision to write stories based on her grandmother’s lost children. “After I lost my daughter, who was named after my grandmother, I realized what it was like to lose a child,” Mowery recalled, “My original thought was to allow my grandmother to grieve (through the stories), so to speak. I could bring her back and rewrite her story and talk about her kids and not cover it up.”

In what she calls a “divine download,” Mowery wrote a total of five books in the “The Pilgrimage of Jacki and Gerri” series, including the current title as well as “The Crownless King” and

student in 2024. He is active in his youth group and participated in a service trip to West Virginia. Paisley is the daughter of Jake and Janelle Stoltzfus of Lancaster. She has consistently been named to the honor roll or distinguished honor roll and is in dual enrollment classes. She is on the FOCUS leadership

for FCA and is a Link Crew leader. Paisley is a member of Valley Vocals and has performed in the school’s fall plays and spring musicals throughout high school. She has been in the ski and snowboarding club for two years. She teaches Sunday school and serves as a vacation Bible school leader each summer.

“EPC made digital advertising simple and easy to understand. They worked with me and the budget I had to get the results I was looking for. I have

“Billy’s Eagle on a Rainbow Backpack.” The remaining books will be published as the illustrations are completed by local artist Anna Kelsey. “God downloaded five books in five weeks in 2018,” Mowery shared.

The stories in the series bring the twins back to life in heaven. In the latest book, Jacki and Gerri meet up with Michael, who is waiting for his friend Greg to arrive. “The stories are not about death or dying,” noted Mowery. “It’s about their adventures in heaven.”

In addition to honoring her grandmother, the goal of the books is to introduce children to Jesus Christ and the Bible, including its many traditional stories such as those that revolve around Moses, Noah, creation and Christmas. “For kids to connect personally with Jesus is the goal of every Bible story,” said Mowery. “Jesus is explaining (the stories) more on a personal level and what they mean to them.”

Additionally, Mowery feels these books honor her grandmother in another way well. “My grandmother always wanted to be a writer, but it was not a time for aspiring women authors,” Mowery said. “This is her, but the next generation. It’s her story; these are her kids.”

In the introduction of the new book, Mowery

writes, “I know (my grandmother’s) healed heart is totally in the midst of this project. I couldn’t be more amazed at how God can take the tragic deaths of three little baby girls generations apart and turn it into a blessing for many. Now, when you read this book you can appreciate the girls even more.”

Mowery said that after the Jacki and Gerri series is completed, she has thoughts in mind about additional books, including one to honor her late husband, who passed away in 2021.
