Concert Series Underway at Huffnagle Park

BY LOGAN MOYER

Another year of concerts are underway at Huffnagle Park.

The series, which opened with Nate Myers and the Aces on May 30, will continue with the Malta Community Band on Saturday, June 27, and run through early August.

The Malta Community Band is an amateur adult band that has been in continuous existence since 1912, when it played its first show at the Knights of Malta Temple in Lancaster. The outfit typically plays a variety of music, ranging from popular tunes to classic concert band pieces, but

is focusing on a patriotic theme this summer.

“They’ve weaved in a lot of patriotic pieces for the summer,” said

series organizer Becky McAndrews. “It’s really fitting, because they’ll be in Quarryville the weekend before the Fourth (of July).”

A Classic Rivalry

BY LOGAN MOYER

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 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 is not enough to appreciate the contributions of volunteers.

Nonprofit organizations must express that appreciation.

At its upcoming event, the Samaritan Center will validate the contributions its volunteers constantly and consistently make.

“Our volunteers are super important,” said Nancy Pleger,

the development officer for the Samaritan Center. “They are the ones who keep the place running. They give support to staff members and the executive team and allow us to do more. They use their connections to help us get in doors. Volunteers are the backbone. Without these dedicated volunteers, we’re just people offering services. We’re not a community lifting each other up.”

“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

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.

Visitors may learn about 18th-century medicine, printing, camp life, and being a pacifist during wartime. They may visit the Witness Tree on the property as well as the monument honoring the soldiers in the Mount Zion Cemetery. Food and drinks

will be available for purchase. The Ephrata Cloister Chorus will give a special performance at 4 p.m. in the Amphitheater, and seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Some activities will require a wristband, which can be obtained upon paying admission. Wristbands are required for select performances and will operate on a first-come, first served-basis.

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.

The event will take place rain or shine. On-site parking is available on a firstcome, first-served basis. There is an admission fee for people over age 2 who are not members of the Ephrata Cloister Associates. Members and children age 2 and under will be admitted for free. Tickets will be sold on the day of the event, and no advance sales will be available.

People with disabilities who need accommodations should call in advance to discuss their needs. Pennsylvania TDD relay service is available at 800-654-5984.

Art Association

Posts Summer Exhibit

The “Summer Media Wars” exhibit at the Lancaster County Art Association, 149 Precision Ave., Strasburg, will return with an opening reception on Sunday, June 28, from 1 to 4 p.m. The exhibit is a progressive show, and every three weeks it will

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

Volunteers

The Samaritan Center’s appreciation will be on full display during its Community and Volunteer event on Sunday, June 28, at Penn Medicine Park, 650 N. Prince St., Lancaster, the home of the Lancaster Stormers professional baseball club. On that day, the Stormers will take on the Gastonia Ghost Peppers at 1:30 p.m. Gates will open at 12:30 p.m.

As part of the Samaritan Center’s volunteer and community celebration, game tickets can be purchased at reduced rates at https:// samaritanlancaster.org/ event/community-and -volunteer-event.

The event is also designed to serve as organizational outreach to make the community aware of what the Samaritan Center is all about and what it does.

“We wouldn’t be here without our volunteers,” said Pleger. “The Samaritan Center was established in 1988 as a mission of Highland Presbyterian Church, and it was started by volunteers.”

The league offers cheerleading as well as flag 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.

At the ballpark that afternoon, a selected volunteer will throw out the first pitch, and a Samaritan Center official will address the fans about the work that the nonprofit performs in the community. There will be promotions staged throughout the stadium, and the Samaritan Center will man an information table.

“We’re hoping it’s a fun, high-energy event,” said Pleger. “People can bring their families out and have a great time. The goal is to have a fun day, and so people can learn about (the) Samaritan Center as well. We’re celebrating service and connecting our community.”

The Samaritan Center, which promotes mental health; provides related services; and operates locations at 1803 Oregon Pike, Lancaster, and at 33 N. Market St., Suite 400, Lancaster, is staffed by 50 employees, mainly therapists and administrative personnel.

But the nonprofit also benefits from 1,000 annual volunteer hours donated by more than 70 altruistic

individuals. The majority of the volunteers reside in Lancaster County.

“They’re a group of individuals who really care about mental health in our community,” said Pleger. “They want to make sure services are affordable and available to everyone.”

“We can play a lot of different roles, depending on where we are,” said Nick Heller, the Samaritan Center’s marketing manager. “We break down barriers for people needing mental health services. We are here to help.”

From January to May this year, the Samaritan Center has provided more than 8,000 counseling sessions to clients. In 2025, the Samaritan Center furnished more than 17,000 counseling sessions, 2,000 more than it did in 2024.

As part of its services, the organization also offers mental health screenings, educational series, therapeutic programs, consulting, church programs, ministry assessment and its TeenHope program for kids.

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 oper

ating the wildlife refuge and caring for the wolves in their natural setting can be

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.

All concerts will be held at Huffnagle Park, 20 Oak Lane, Quarryville, and start at 7 p.m. on Saturdays. There is no cost to attend, but monetary donations to support the series will be accepted. The Quarryville Lions Club, which operates the series, will collect food donations at shows to donate to Solanco Neighborhood Ministries.

The concert series was previously run by the Huffnagle Park Civic Association up until 2014, when that group retired. The Lions have handled its operation since.

In the event of bad weather, concerts will be moved to nearby Memorial United Methodist Church, 101 S. Hess St., Quarryville. Attendees can check the “Huffnagle Park Concert Series” Facebook page for updates on inclement weather, as well as what specific requests the Lions have for the food bank.

McAndrews is in her first year overseeing the series.

“For about 10 years, a friend of mine named Monica Wagner has run this series for the Lions,” she said. “She did a fabulous job, but she was ready to pass the baton.”

Also at the June 27 show, fitting with the patriotic theme, the Quarryville Girl Scouts will be running

some old-fashioned games for attendees.

The series will continue on July 25 with Mifflinburg-based Americana and bluegrass artist Tanner Bingaman, who will be performing at Huffnagle Park for the first time. Bingaman has completed two residencies at the Avaloch Farm Music Institute in New Hampshire and also has an upcoming residency at the Volland Foundation in Kansas.

Bingaman was recently awarded a “Best Americana Artist” award by the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame. McAndrews said that Bingaman’s performance is the one that she’s personally most excited for.

“I think he’s going to be a big name someday,” she said. “I think the kids, the children and the younger folk will enjoy that a lot.”

The series will close with two shows on back-toback weekends in August, starting with Street Lamp Productions on Aug. 1 and followed by the Nottingham Four on Aug. 8.

The former will be more oriented toward children, with the group playing a show full of show tunes and Disney-inspired music. The group is based out of Rising Sun, Md.

The Nottingham Four are no strangers to the

Church Plans Patriotic Concert

Union Presbyterian Church, 5637 Street Road, Kirkwood, will hold a patriotic Fourth of July organ concert on Sunday, July 5, at 6:30 p.m. to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary.

The concert will feature the church’s rare restored

1930 United States Pipe Organ Company theater organ. Organist Bob Trimble, assisted by Rick Rineer and Glenn Hough, will present a mix of patriotic, pop, classical, and singalong pieces at the service. Veterans who attend will be honored.

The concert is free to attend, but a freewill offering will be accepted to benefit Solanco community organizations. Refreshments will be available following the concert. The church has air conditioning and is handicapped-accessible.

Huffnagle Park stage, operating as a southern gospel quartet for over 50 years. At their show, Dewald Funeral and Cremation Services Inc. will provide popcorn and cotton candy to attendees.

McAndrews noted the success of the series’ first show, saying that a strong crowd came out despite the unseasonably cool weather. She raved about how clean attendees left the park, highlighting the area’s special community.

“I went back early Sunday morning after the first concert, and there was just one tiny single little piece of trash there, which says wonderful things about the community,” she said. “Huffnagle is just like this little hidden, tucked away gem.”

Wolf Sanctuary

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 hours to volunteer there.

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 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.

Refresh Lancaster Reaches Fundraising Goal

Refresh Lancaster, a program that operates a mobile hygiene unit, has secured the funding needed to sustain operations for the next year.

In May, Lancaster EMS announced that the Refresh Lancaster program was facing termination without additional funding support. The goal was to raise $100,000 by June 30 to keep providing two deployments a week for the next year. This goal has not only been reached, but also exceeded, with nearly $115,000 raised for the program as of May 28.

Refresh Lancaster offers

two private, hot shower stalls and a medical office for discreet, on-site consultations and care provided by an experienced health care professional. Each person who uses the Refresh Lancaster unit is offered clean towels and toiletries, and handheld hair dryers and shower seats are available in each of the rooms. The showers are cleaned after each use, and the rooms are heated. During each deployment, individuals may receive clothing items, including socks and underwear, as well as hygiene supplies like shampoo and feminine hygiene products.

Lancaster city site deployments may include laundry cards for Festiva Laundry, as well. Refresh Lancaster also provides referrals for other community-based services, including housing, food, clothing, medical and dental, counseling, and financial planning.

Donations can still be made to support ongoing program operations at https://secure.qgiv.com/ for/refreshlancaster.

Lancaster EMS will now seek long-term funding solutions to keep the program running sustainably beyond the summer of 2027.

LCBC Sets Meeting

The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet on Thursday, July 9, at 7 p.m. at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens.

Will Krohn will present “How Citizen Science Can Help PA’s Purple Martins.” The talk will discuss the life history of the purple martin, North America’s largest swallow, and some reasons for its population decline. Krohn will share about his research to help conserve purple martins by studying how young martins move between the artificial colonies that they rely on for nesting. This research is currently happening across Pennsylvania, and the talk will conclude

with ways that attendees can contribute to the project and help protect purple martins. Krohn has worked as an avian field technician and bird bander all around the eastern United States. He is now conducting research on purple martins while pursuing a master’s degree in wildlife ecology in the Aeroecology Lab at the University of Delaware.

The meeting is free and open to the public. For more information, call 717-891-8145 or 717-725-2717. Information about the LCBC is available at www .lancasterbirdclub.org, www.facebook.com/ lancasterbirdclub, and www.instagram.com/ lancasterbirdclub.
