The Patriotic Cruisers

BY LOGAN MOYER

It’s a patriotic year for the Lancaster County Cruisers.

The group, which holds its annual car show on the first Saturday of July every year, will present this year’s show on Saturday, July 4, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Willow Street Fire Company, 2901 Willow Street Pike North, Willow Street.

No registration is needed for the 26th annual show. Anyone wishing to participate can bring their cars, trucks and motorcycles. There is a fee to take part; the event will be held rain or shine. More than 20 trophies will be awarded, and the first 200 participants will receive a dash plaque.

Because of the event’s schedule, this year will not be the first time that it has been held over the holiday. Club member Judy Andrews said that she does not expect to lose attendees with the holiday weekend.

“It’s done by 2:00, so people still have time to go on and do fireworks and picnics,” she said.

The Cruisers will have T-shirts available for purchase at the show. There will also be door prizes available. For food, there will be breakfast, hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages available. Lemonade, as well as the Mocha Motion Coffee truck, will be available for drinks. There will also be a DJ, who will mix in some patriotic tunes to match the occasion.

One big advantage that the

Cruisers have over other summer car shows is the pavilion at the fire company.

“I’ve been to lots of car shows, and Judy has too,” said club member Christine Weir, who noted that club members can also gives attendees rides from the parking area to the center of the field. “When it’s July or August, it’s hotter than blazes. You get your food and you’re in the sun; it’s hot.

Navigating a Pet’s Final Journey

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

When a beloved pet is aging or nearing the end of its life, the emotional weight can feel overwhelming. That’s when Ashley Page steps in. As a certified endof-life pet doula, she offers compassionate, nonmedical support to both pets and their people, helping families navigate aging, terminal illness and difficult end-of-life decisions with care and dignity.

“My role is to help families feel supported emotionally, practically and compassionately,” she said. “That support can look very different depending on the family’s needs. Some people reach out because they need help understanding quality of life changes, while others are preparing for euthanasia, struggling with anticipatory grief or simply feeling overwhelmed caring for an aging pet.”

Based in York, Page is the owner of Willow Bridge Crossings. She provides in-home services throughout the county as well as in Lancaster County, and she offers virtual grief support services anywhere through phone calls, text support, FaceTime or Zoom.

Cowboys and Eagles, a classic rivalry. But this game doesn’t take place in Philadelphia or Dallas, Texas. It hails from the Manheim Brethren in Christ Church.

The Chuckie Magee Flag Football and Cheerleading League, a Lancaster-based nonprofit that offers a competitive avenue for individuals between the ages of 18 and 40 with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is set to kick off its sixth season in July.

The league offers two teams, the Cowboys and the Eagles. The two teams will play a 10-game season that will begin on Saturday, July 25, and

“I can help families create comfort-focused routines at home, make environmental adjustments for senior pets, talk through end-of-life planning, provide euthanasia presence and support, assist with memorial ideas and aftercare guidance and offer grief support before and after a loss,” she said.

She knows what it’s like to lose a pet and to feel alone in her grief.

“After unexpectedly losing my soul dog, Jackson, I found myself facing a kind of grief that

We actually have a pavilion in the shade, which is really nice.”

Hogs and Heroes Foundation, a community of motorcycle riders who support military causes, will have a stand.

Those attending the car show are asked to bring nonperishable canned goods to support the food pantry at the Willow Street United Church of Christ (UCC).

Proceeds from the registration fees and bake sale will be donated to Solanco Neighborhood Ministries, Hope’s Haven, Building Bridges, and Willow Street UCC.

The weather was not great for last year’s show, but the event still pulled in around 350 vehicles. Weir said that the show typically pulls in around 300 to 400 vehicles, depending on weather and when the event falls on the calendar.

because it’s too confusing for the food vendors to come when they have stuff the next day, then they can’t come.”

The club has been in existence since 1994. It meets on the second Sunday of every month at 6 p.m. at Willow Street UCC, 2723 Willow Street Pike North, Willow Street. Everyone is welcome to attend, even if they do not own a classic or antique car.

“We just like the people that are in it,” Andrews said. Weir added that the club is looking for new members to come to the show and to bring their significant other.

The club’s other major events include an annual Christmas party; outings to local restaurants; and trips to the Morgantown Auto Mall, located right on the border between Lancaster, Chester and Berks counties.

Event to Focus on Revolutionary War

The Historic Ephrata Cloister, 632 W. Main St., Ephrata, will commemorate its role as a Revolutionary War military hospital during a celebration on Saturday, June 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will also commemorate the United States’ 250th anniversary.

The Historic Ephrata Cloister was the site of a Revolutionary War military hospital from December 1777 to June 1778. The hospital accommodated 260 soldiers, 60 of whom died and are buried on the grounds of the historic site. During this commemorative event, visitors may learn more about the military hospital and its impact on the pacifist members of the Ephrata Cloister.

Among the programs requiring a wristband is the Lantern Tour Reprise, which will be held multiple times in the 1741 Meetinghouse, also known as the Saal. The tour will focus on the impact of the military hospital on the pacifist community.

“The Life of a Sister” will be held in the 1743 Sisters’ House, also called the Saron. Attendees will learn about the lifestyle of a solitary Sister and how the Sisters aided the soldiers through herbal medicines and remedies. A wristband is required.

Medical Equipment Donations Sought

Jewish Family Service of Lancaster (JFS) is asking the community to donate clean, functional durable medical equipment to help meet a growing local need. Items in especially short supply include walkers, rollators, shower chairs, and bedside commodes. These essential items help individuals maintain safety, mobility, and independence while recovering from illness or injury, or while aging at home.

Larger equipment - including power wheelchairs, mobility scooters, hospital beds, and patient lifts - can be redirected to the Durable Medical Loan Closet at

Grace Church in Lititz. JFS provides support to individuals and families throughout the community, guided by the values of dignity, compassion, and service. Through programs that assist older adults, caregivers, and vulnerable community members, JFS works to ensure that neighbors in need have access to practical resources and human connection. Because storage and staffing are limited, equipment donations cannot be dropped off without prior arrangements, and JFS is unable to offer equipment pickup. To arrange a donation drop-off, call JFS at 717-537-1863.

“Celebrate America” Event Planned

Paradise Station, 312 Paradise Lane, Ronks, will host its third annual Celebrate America event on Friday, July 3, from 4 to 10 p.m.

The event will include food trucks, games, a photo booth by South Central Photo Booths, drawings by Caricatures by Courtney, vendors, a patriotic Maker’s Market by Creatively Lancaster, opportunities to interact with sponsors, and a train display by the Choo Choo Barn.

the local importance that Lancaster County played in the birth of the nation.

The event will be held on the doorstep of land chartered by William Penn and given to Marie Ferree, who fled religious persecution in France. As part of Penn’s Holy Experiment, Ferree requested a meeting with Penn to negotiate for land, and being impressed by her, he petitioned Queen Anne to grant her an audience. Ferree was given English citizenship and permission to colonize in Pennsylvania. In the New World, Penn’s agents received her request for 2,000 acres in 1709. The land was purchased in 1712 under the name of Daniel Ferree, Marie’s son, and the land was called Strasburg, after the place in the French region of Alsace where Marie and her family had found safety. The 26-acre Paradise

Station property has been stewarded by the Prickett family since 2016. A freewill offering will be received to help cover the cost of the event. No rain date is scheduled.

On-site parking is available for a fee per vehicle. Anyone planning to park a large bus at the event should contact organizers in advance at 717-687-5000 and dial ext. 117. Cash and credit cards will be accepted for payment. There will be no advance parking sales. All parking contributions at Paradise Station will go directly toward the cost of the fireworks show.

Alternately, for a fee, attendees may ride a Strasburg Rail Road train directly to Paradise Station. The train is not handicapped-accessible, so anyone who needs handicapped-accessible parking should plan to

Grants Awarded for Programs Aiding Youths

Advoz: Mediation & Restorative Services and the Touchstone Foundation were awarded $500,616 in grant funding to help expand their youth programs aimed at reducing student conflict and improving student mental health, respectively. The competitive grants, approved by the School Safety and Security Committee under the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, are part of more than $64 million awarded to organizations across the state. The Advoz and Touchstone grants were recently announced by state Rep. Nikki Rivera. Advoz will use its $244,850 to expand its Restorative School Program at J.P. McCaskey High School in Lancaster city. The grant funds will cover the partial salaries and benefits of the executive director, director of training, and restorative schools

practitioner. Additionally, funding will be used for advertising and marketing expenses, rent, a laptop, general operating expenses, and information technology support. The program serves approximately 750 students annually, teaching them skills in communication, problem solving, emotional regulation, and constructive dialogue.

The Touchstone Foundation will use its $255,766 award to expand and strengthen Rise Above, a youth mental wellness initiative serving approximately 1,120 students and young adults ages 12 to 26 across Lancaster County. The funds will pay a partial amount of the current program manager’s time, pay for a program assistant and an operations manager and accountant, and support employee benefits and travel to school districts within Lancaster County. Funding will also be used to support program evaluation led by Millersville University’s Carrie Smith, as well as communications-related costs such as photography and video documentation. Rise Above responds directly to community needs documented in the 2023 Pennsylvania Youth Survey and the Touchstone Foundation’s 2023 Needs Assessment, which showed high rates of depression, suicidal ideation, bullying, exclusion, and barriers to mental health access among Lancaster County youths. Through partnerships with local school districts, mental health professionals, and community organizations, the program blends mental health education, creative self-expression, youth leadership development, and mentorship to address gaps in early identification, access to support, and trusted adult relationships.

run through Saturday, Oct. 17. All games will be played on Saturdays, and most will be played at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church, 54 N. Penryn Road, Manheim. Select games (Aug. 22 and 29) will be played at Lancaster Brethren in Christ Church, 1865 Fruitville Pike, Lancaster.

“It’s like sandlot football,” said league founder Randy Samuels. “We show up and we play. There’s always shenanigans going on, a lot of fun and sneaky stuff being done. ... They come out, they have fun and get to exercise.”

Naturally, most of the league’s participants are fans of the Eagles. Samuels, who coaches the Cowboys, is a diehard Dallas fan - drawing the ire of many of his players.

The league’s cheerleaders are referred to as “Lancaster’s Sweethearts,” a registered trademark owned by Samuels. The term references the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, who are known as “America’s Sweethearts.”

“I get booed so much, and I egg them on,” Samuels said. “The cheerleaders will play

that ‘Fly Eagles Fly’ song a couple times a game. As the president of the league this year, I issued an executive order banning that, but they will ignore me.”

The league is completely free for participants and is funded through sponsorships from local businesses. About 30 individuals took part in the league last year. Samuels had hoped to have four teams this season but decided to stick with only the Cowboys and Eagles.

Samuels obtained nonprofit status for the league in December. After the last game of the season, there will be a celebratory awards banquet.

The league is still searching for sponsorships, as well as volunteers. Volunteers assist with every aspect of the game, including serving as a “buddy” for the more challenged playing members of the league.

“The buddy will catch the ball for them, hand it to them and guide them towards the end zone,” Samuels said.

The league is named after Chuckie Magee, a Lititz resident who passed away in 2015 after a fight with undifferentiated pleomorphic bone sarcoma. Magee, a 2013 graduate of Warwick High School, was heavily involved with challenger baseball and football.

The league’s logo is modeled after Magee and uses the color red, which was his favorite color.

“Doctors (said) he wasn’t going to live to be a year old,” Samuels said of Magee. “If you knew Chuckie, you loved Chuckie. Everybody loved Chuckie.”

Registrations for the league are open. Samuels asks that those interested sign up as soon as possible, giving the league a chance to order shirts before the July 25 kickoff.

Those interested in signing up to play, volunteer or sponsor the league should visit www .recleague.net/leagues/ cmffl or “The Chuckie Magee Flag Football & Cheerleading League” on Facebook or email Samuels at cmffl@ptd.net.

America250 Series Puts Local Spin on American Backstories

BY JEFF FALK

All humans are created equally, and peoples of different colors, backgrounds and beliefs can share the Earth and peacefully coexist. If indeed America is a grand experiment, then those are the premises.

On the occasion of this country’s 250th anniversary, Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum’s America250 lecture series examines forces which have directly and indirectly affected that experiment and highlights the role that Pennsylvania and Lancaster have played in it.

The seven-speaker America250 lecture series that Long has pulled together will be presented at Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster, on the last Friday of every month. There are costs involved with attending the series of lectures, which will conclude on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

Kutztown University’s Patrick Donmoyer’s presentation on “The Legend of Mountain Mary” kicked off the America250 lecture series at 6 p.m. on May 29. It will be followed by historian Scott Mingus’ talk on “The Underground Railroad in Lancaster” at 6 p.m. on June 26, Philip Gruber’s discussions about “Farmer Revolts in Early America” at 6 p.m. on July 31, and Scott Sheeley’s speech on “Lancaster’s Role in American’s Food System” at 6 p.m. on Aug. 28.

At 6 p.m. on Sept. 25, Lynette Miller will put a historical spin on “18th Century Fashion in Lancaster.” Dr. William Woys

Weaver will expound upon the topic of “Pennsylvania Dutch Food Traditions” at 6 p.m. on Oct. 30, while long rifle and back powder expert John Kolar’s talk on “Lancaster Gunsmiths of the Early Republic” at 6 p.m. on Nov. 18 will conclude the series and preview Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum’s upcoming exhibit featuring early firearms.

Each lecture in the series will last about 90 minutes and will include discussion and question-and-answer periods. Light refreshments will be served.

Interested individuals are asked to register for the lectures at www.landis valleymuseum.org. There are limits to the number of visitors who can attend the lectures in person, but the museum will also offer Zoom options and recorded video presentations on its YouTube Channel.

For more than 100 years, Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum has been educating, promoting and advocating for 300-yearold Pennsylvania German history.

Church to Serve Community Meal

The mission committee of the Leacock Presbyterian Church, 3181 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise, will serve a hot meal from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 25. The menu will consist of waffles with syrup, ham or sausage,

hash browns, a fruit cup, and desserts.

The meal is free and will be served in the handicapped-accessible Smith Fellowship Hall.

many people didn’t fully understand,” she recalled. “There’s often this unspoken belief that losing a pet should somehow hurt less, but for many of us, these animals are family, companions and emotional anchors. I realized there were other people carrying that same grief while feeling unseen and unsupported, and I wanted to create a space where they didn’t have to go through it alone.”

With a background that includes more than 13 years of working professionally with animals through her business Allegiant Dog Walking, Page has also worked in veterinary offices, served as an animal control officer, worked as a professional dog trainer and is a certified pet CPR and First Aid instructor.

ive for them.”

Page hopes her services will shine a light on the emotions that come with loving and losing a pet.

“I think one of the most important things I want people to understand is that grief over an animal is real and valid,” she said. “These relationships are incredibly deep, and the 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.

AUCTION FOR: JEANETTE H. MARTIN

“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.”

These experiences ultimately led Page to become a certified end-of-life pet doula and create Willow Bridge Crossings in 2025.

“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-of-life pet doula felt like a natural extension of the work I’ve already spent much of my life doingcaring for both animals and the humans who love them.”

Each client’s experience is different, she said, but all start with a free phone consultation to find the best support for each situation.

“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 support-

“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.”

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.”

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 volun -

Volunteers prepare for a chore at the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania.

teers 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 hours to volunteer there.

On any given day, as many as 15 individuals are

PUBLIC AUCTION

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 public,” said Vandernewt.

“They share their passion for wolves. Our tour program is a big fundraiser, and our volunteers really help run that.”

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.

WellSpan President and CEO Announces Retirement

The WellSpan Health Board of Directors has announced that Roxanna Gapstur, president and CEO, plans to retire from the role she has held since January 2019. Gapstur will continue to serve as president and CEO until a transition is complete, ensuring continuity and stability for the organization, its 23,000 team members, and the communities WellSpan serves across Pennsylvania and northern Maryland.

The WellSpan Health Board has engaged Korn Ferry to conduct a national search for the organization’s next president and CEO, with a focus on identifying a leader who will continue to advance WellSpan’s vision, mission, values, and strategic priorities.

Now in her eighth year as CEO, Gapstur has led WellSpan through a period of significant growth and transformationstrengthening its position as a high-performing, integrated health system while advancing its vision. Under her leadership, WellSpan has grown from a $2.5 billion to a $4.7 billion system, expanded from eight to 12 hospitals, and extended its reach from five to 12 counties. The organization has also advanced its small-format

hospital model, bringing care closer to home and improving access across the region. Core to WellSpan’s vision to reimagine health care, the organization has become a national leader in clinical innovation.

During Gapstur’s tenure, WellSpan Surgery & Rehabilitation Hospital achieved Magnet designation, and the system earned both the John M. Eisenberg National Patient Safety Award and the American Hospital Association’s Quest for Quality Prize. In addition, WellSpan’s Medical Group has grown from 1,500 to more than 2,700 providers, and the system’s patient base has expanded from approximately 630,000 to more than 1 million patients, reflecting increased access and

community trust. WellSpan has also emerged as a global leader in clinical artificial intelligence, supporting more than 3 million patient conversations to enhance access, experience, and care delivery.

Also developed under Gapstur’s leadership, WellSpan’s genomic program brings precision medicine to the bedside by embedding genetic insights into clinical care, enabling earlier detection, smarter treatment decisions, and more personalized care across the lifespan.

WellSpan has also paved the way for medical education opportunities in York County. The organization’s partnership with Temple University’s Lewis Katz School of Medicine is expanding health care education and training more doctors, while Jersey College’s School of Nursing at WellSpan Health offers a hospital-based school of nursing program.

Alongside innovative advancements in care and education, financial stewardship has remained a hallmark of Gapstur’s leadership. WellSpan has maintained an AA bond rating for seven consecutive years, including throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
