enaissance persons. Jack or Jill of all trades. Problem solvers. In most townships, they call him or her a manager. In Elizabeth Township, they call him administrator. By name, he goes by Loren Miller. “I function as a manager,” said Miller, who’s been the administrator in Elizabeth Township for the better part of a decade. “I perform all the same roles. We’re a small township, and I’m essentially the generalist of all generalists. I do a little bit of everything. There’s not much I don’t get my hands on. I wear many hats. I can even help plow snow when they need an extra guy.” As an administrator, Miller’s the guy behind the scenes who makes everything in Elizabeth Township run smoothly. He’s one of those fellows you wouldn’t necessarily miss until he wasn’t there.

Every week, Scott Feifer gets people to share their innermost thoughts. He’s not a clergyman or a therapist. He’s a writer, and he believes in the power of the pen. Feifer, who taught language arts for almost 30 years at Hempfield School District, has been leading writing circles since his days as a teacher. He left his public school position in 2020 and has since focused on the transformative power of writing. Feifer leads writing circles at Manos House, a residential treatment program for young men in Columbia; Blueprints for Addiction Recovery; Domestic Violence Services; and the Lancaster County Youth Intervention Center, among other locations throughout Lancaster and neighboring counties. “We run from our stories and the trauma and the hard things we’ve experienced,” he said. “But when we write it down, we realize that ultimately, there’s no running from our past.” Ironically, the man who gets people to bare their souls on paper wasn’t always so open. In 1998, he signed up for a summer writing workshop at Millersville University. As part of the class, students shared their writing with their peers. “I didn’t want to reveal something so private,” Feifer recalled. “I decided I would go to the first class, but if I was uncomfortable or I didn’t like it, I would leave during the break.” Not only did he stay for the class, but he also found a new outlet for his emotions.

Seventy-four years ago, Dennis Denenberg received services from the Society of Crippled Children and A dult s that pro foundly affected him and changed the course of his life. At the age of 4, Denenberg received speech therapy that turned a weakness into a strength.

It’s the kind of story that the organization, now known as Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, has routinely authored over the last nine decades. “I really garbled my words; it wasn’t just a stutter,” said Denenberg, clearly and succinctly. “You could really not understand what I was saying. My time at Schreiber opened the door to a successful See Dennis Denenberg pg 5
