Local Athlete Part of Championship Team

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Abram Hershey of Gordonville, a 2025 graduate of Pequea Valley High School, is a member of the Saint Joseph’s University Club Ice Hockey Team that captured the 2026 Atlantic Coast Collegiate Hockey League (ACCHL) Premier Division championship. The team defeated the University of Virginia 4-3 in overtime on Feb. 15 to win the Admiral’s Cup.

Abram is a freshman, studying cardiovascular technology. “I will be working in the operating room as a surgical technologist,” he

This is Abram’s first year of playing for the Philadelphia-based team, even though he attends the Lancaster campus, which was created when Saint Joseph’s University merged with the Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences (PA College).

“There are about 26 guys on the team, and he would be the only and first one who is on the team

and attends the Lancaster campus,” explained Abram’s mother, Josi Hershey.

Shoes & Boots For The Whole Family

Balancing Growth and Rural Character

Submitted by Leona Baker, Historical Society of Salisbury Township In 1729, Lancaster County was formed from the westernmost lands of Chester County. But long before that, the relentless western migration of pioneers had passed through the area, noting the rich soil and plentiful water. Many bought land and developed the prosperous farms we see today. Others settled into those commercial industries that an agrarian society needs, including millers, forgers, cattlemen and innkeepers. From the start, Salisbury Township has been governed by a board of supervisors to make policy decisions on government services, policies and finances. It is important to remember that the supervisors are elected by the citizens of Salisbury Township. We must, therefore, respect their obligation to follow the ordinances of not only the township but also those of Lancaster County and state and federal governmental agencies. It is a delicate balancing act, at best. These elected officials deserve our utmost respect.

Currently, across Lancaster County, there is a growing need for upgrading and modernizing the policies of each township, planning for what will surely be massive changes in how we live in the not-too-distant future.

Although there has been little increase in population in Salisbury Township in the recent past, as people move west from the increasingly congested counties around us, Salisbury Township supervisors are charged with looking ahead to provide accommodations for housing, as well as commercial and industrial growth, well into the future.

The process of zoning consists of dividing a particular region of land into districts or zones, then specifying the types of land uses that are allowed or prohibited for each zone. Municipal governments can institute highly specific zoning ordinances to influence the nature of land use.

Basically, there are four common types of real estate zones: residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial.

Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser Set

The Factory Ministries, 3293 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise, will hold an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner fundraiser hosted by teens from its youth center on Saturday, March 7, from 4 to 6 p.m. Proceeds will help fund the teens’ Winter Camp.

The menu will include all-you-can-eat spaghetti and meatballs, as well as rolls, drinks, and desserts. There is a fee, with a discount for children under age 12.

To register, visit https:// tinyurl.com/FYCSpaghetti Fundraiser.

Apartment houses and rental communities are in the residential zone, yes, but they are also commercial because they are owned and operated as businesses. These areas are designated for housing and are often divided further into subcategories like single-family residential, multifamily residential and mixed-use residential.

As the name suggests, commercial zones are dedicated to businesses and commerce.

Agricultural zones are reserved for agricultural and farming activities. Fields, orchards and pastures fall under this category, ensuring that food production remains possible but contained in specific areas.

Presently, a Growth Area is being talked about in Salisbury Township for future development. This is something the supervisors have to consider while they are also charged with maintaining the rich agricultural, cultural and aesthetic heritage of this township.

We, as citizens, do have an opportunity to share our opinions with the supervisors regarding the proposed changes to this agriculturally rich valley. The supervisors will have to consider all possible ramifications to the environment when forging new ordinances.

Some information gathered for this column came from www.biscred.com and www .americansforthearts.org.

Industrial zones house factories, warehouses and manufacturing facilities. These areas tend to be strategically placed to minimize noise and traffic disruptions to residential and commercial areas.

Abram started playing hockey at age 4, when he took skating lessons along with his brothers at Lancaster Ice Rink. Later, he became a member of the Lancaster Firebirds, the club team. In his sophomore year of high school, he tore his MCL, which required knee surgery.

Later, while still in high school, he started attending practice with the St. Joe’s team at its practice facility in Haverford. “He was playing travel hockey, and meanwhile, he would go and practice with the the college team to get a feel of what it would be like. The coach invited him to come and practice with the team,” noted Josi.

After high school, Abram wanted to play hockey at

the college level but was told at first that he could not play for St. Joe’s unless he attended the Philadelphia campus. However, the coach agreed to let him try out for the team last August. However, he broke his ankle in March of last year, which required surgery. Three weeks before tryouts and after physical therapy, the doctors cleared him to play.

“(The MCL injury) set him back significantly. He bounced back and was ready to go to college and broke his ankle,” noted Josi. “(He thought) maybe it’s time to call it quits, but he pushed through that. He didn’t think he would make it. It has been such a journey. He prayed a lot and felt God gave him the courage and vision to look forward.”

See Honor Roll pg 8

Throughout the past season, Abram, who plays right wing, traveled from Lancaster County to attend practice in Haverford on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:50 p.m. “I found the practice schedule hard, especially on the drive home trying to stay awake,” he shared. “But (it was) rewarding to hang out with the guys and see our hard work pay off in the games.”

As a freshman, Abram did not play in the championship game, but he did

play in the playoffs leading up the title. He played in about half of the 26 games throughout the season. Abram said he is looking forward to more playing time next season and has enjoyed the camaraderie among his teammates. “The thing I enjoy most is the relationships you build with your teammates,” he stated. “You spend a lot of time with them, and you get to build really strong lifelong relationships with them.”

Braves’ Bring Home 2nd Place in District Championship

recalled. “By lesson three, I told Gene we must start a community workshop to give our community an opportunity to learn skilled trades in a mentorship, cohort environment, from seasoned experts.”

She connected with SCORE, wrote a business plan, created a budget and pitched her idea to the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County. The Trust agreed to serve as fiscal sponsor, supporting the workshop and tool library under the Trust’s 501(c)(3) status.

“It’s really thanks to them and their belief in our mission along with the Steinman STEM Alliance for giving us the gift of startup funding to get off the ground,” Fritz said.

In August 2025, Shaw began setting up space in a warehouse located at 433 Ice Ave., Lancaster.

The organizers’ vision is to provide a place that’s half workshop space for hands-on learning, half lending library for tools.

They also want to bring DIY projects and skilled trades to women and other underrepresented groups and hope the Lancaster Workshop + Tool Library will create an intergenerational, intersectional space that reflects and uplifts the diversity of Lancaster.

Fritz noted that the organization owes everything to Shaw’s support. Well known in the woodworking, art, historic preservation and architecture industries, he has been instrumental in finding materials and tool donations, as well as recruiting instructors.

“I did the behind-thescenes business stuff, but none of this would be possible without him, his

expertise, his connections, his time and willingness to take me on as a mentor and go on this wild ride,” Fritz explained.

The organization is in the process of promoting and recruiting Founding Members for a soft opening in March, and a grand opening is scheduled for the workshop and library at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 14. The space will initially be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Community hours will also be available in the future.

During a recent tour of the space, tool library coordinator Aidan Fife explained how the site will operate.

“On one side, we’ll have a workshop space, where we will offer classes and open workshop hours, so if people have a project they’d like to work on, they can do that here,” he said. “They can use our bigger tools, like our table saw, miter saw and band saw.”

The organization will

require safety classes to prepare people to use the bigger tools.

The library side of the building houses a wide variety of tools that members can check out, much like they’d do with books in a traditional library. Shelves are packed with hundreds of items, including circular saws, screwdrivers, drills, sanders, air compressors and more. People can borrow gardening tools, such as rakes, shovels or a wheelbarrow.

“The general premise of the tool library is we want it to be accessible to people who want to fix something at home, but maybe they don’t have the money or want to buy a tool they’ll use once,” Fife said. “Or they don’t have the space to store the tool if they did buy it.”

To prepare for opening the tool library, Shaw, Fritz, Fife and their team visited similar sites in the region, including the West Philly Tool Library and the Station North Tool Library in Baltimore.

They were inspired by the size and scope of both places, and they envision Lancaster’s library-ofthings expanding over time.

They hope to continue to build the inventory through donations of items, and they plan to offer classes for people to learn new skills. Current classes include programs on stained glass, a seed exchange and a masonry class.

“The sky’s the limit on what we could offer here,” Fife said. “It’s really just finding the teachers who are skilled in the subject

and interested in teaching.”

Like Shaw and Fritz, Fife hopes the space will welcome anyone who is interested in learning more about skilled trades or borrowing a piece of equipment they need for a project.

“I see this as a community space,” he said. “People will be able to learn to do things they didn’t know how to do before. Sure, you can watch YouTube, but being in front of someone who has done this for 50 years, there’s no substitute for that.”

Promise Players from

Her husband, Philip, is the music director. The couple produced the same musical with a different group in 2009. “Compared to last year’s show that we did, ‘Muddled Memories,’ the music is easier,” Philip said. “Both the piano is easier and the singing is easier. So, compared to that, it seems much simpler, but there are a few places here and there that are challenging for the singers. There is dissonance, that is two notes that are real close together and make a crunchy sound that are tricky, but compared to last year, it’s easier music-wise.”

Dorothy added, “Probably one of the biggest challenges with the music is a good bit of it goes quite fast, so you really have to spit the words out quickly.”

Shawn Gollatz will be

taking part in his fourth Promise Players production. “It’s my first musical, so being a tenor is a bit challenging because fourpart harmony is not natural,” said Gollatz, who is in the chorus, will portray John and James, and will sing a solo. “One of the things I learned, when you listen to a song, the melody that you hear sometimes isn’t necessarily what anybody actually sings. It’s just a collection of chords, and the way your voice works, you can only sing one note at a time, so you could pick one of those.”

Several members of the cast recently joined the group. “About half the cast is new to shows with Promise Players,” said Dorothy. “This is their first time to act with us and first time to

be exposed to us for some of them, so that’s always kind of fun and exciting.”

Mamie Hilton, a teacher at Central Manor Elementary School, is one of the newcomers. “My stepmother, Shonda Hilton, was auditioning because she plays piano with Dorothy, and so she said, ‘Do you want to try, too?’ And I said, ‘Sure, why not?’” Mamie said.

Mamie will portray Mary Magdalene. “I get to come on the stage at one point in scene 11, and then I get to speak to the judge and talk about my experience with Jesus,” she said. “Then I have a solo.”

One of stage manager Marty Raine’s tasks is collecting props for the show.

“The stage manager is the director’s right-hand man,” the Strasburg Township

resident said. “Dorothy, as the director, makes all the decisions. I’m the one who has to remember and remind everyone when they forget. ... With a cast this big and with everything that’s going on, one of the challenges is just remembering it all. I have to keep track of 28 people and everything that 28 different people are doing.”

Guests can expect a typical, funny Promise Players performance. “There’s a lot of humor in it,” Dorothy said. “Promise Players in general likes to do humorous things oftentimes, but we always like to have a good, strong message. You get both the strong message of Jesus and His life and the miraculous things that He did but mixed with lots of humor.”
