Taekwondo Can Blaze Path to Self-Actualization

BY JEFF FALK

On average, Americans spend 15 years and three months of their natural lives working, a total of some 90,000 hours.

For some people, a job is work.

For some individuals, employment is a career.

PA CareerLink Lancaster County caters to both groups of people and helps individuals to navigate this critical portion of their lives.

BY JEFF FALK

It is not a discipline; it’s a martial art.

It is not a physical activity; it’s the exploration of a culture. It is not simply a sport, selfdefense training, a form of self-care or a development facilitator; it’s Taekwondo.

Kirk Wolfe is not an instructor; he’s a master.

“Taekwondo is a Korean term for hands, feet and the way,” said Wolfe. “It’s a way to use your hands and feet for combat and to defend yourself. People who come are going to learn the language. They’re going to learn Korean and a little bit of the culture too.”

Wolfe, a part-time officer with the Strasburg Police Department and a member of the Warwick School District’s board of education, is heading one of the Lititz recCenter’s newest programs, Taekwondo. Those Wolfe-led Taekwondo classes are conducted

at the Lititz recCenter, 301 Maple St., every Monday and Wednesday night - from 6:15 to 7:05 p.m. for junior warriors between the ages of 5 and 9 and from 7:15 to 8:05 p.m. for master warriors from age 10 through adults.

There are costs involved with taking the classes.

“We’re going to learn the art of Taekwondo as taught by teachers and how it was handed down,” said Wolfe. “We’ll learn discipline, especially for children. It helps children have a disciplined life and teaches them how to deal with stressful situations. It’s about being able to defend yourself as well. They’re important skills to have if you ever need them. If you practice Taekwondo enough, when something happens it just comes out naturally.”

As a way of introducing the new Taekowndo classes to the community, the Lititz recCenter is hosting a free open house from 6:15 to 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27.

Pounding Pavement for Clinic for Special Children

BY JEFF FALK

Runners are self-motivated athletes. When they run and enter into their competitive zones, runners report feelings of exhilaration and jubilation. They are feelings that can only be expanded by running for others, feelings that will be felt during the Clinic for Special Children’s upcoming 5K.

“It’s people intent on running,” said Renny Magill, the director of development for the Clinic for Special Children. “But there’s also almost a sense of a family reunion. Some are people running in support of a family member. They’re people who are interested in supporting the mission.”

“Obviously, we have some serious runners,” said Kelly Cullen, the marketing and communications manager for the Clinic for Special Children. “But when I think of the atmosphere of the event, I think of family. We’re a very family-friendly event. It may be families we serve. We’re welcoming a variety of physical abilities, and people really rally around our families.”

The Clinic for Special Children’s 8th annual 5K run is a community event, a fundraiser, and an outreach activity for the local nonprofit. This year’s 5K run will be staged at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, at the Leola Produce Auction, 135 Brethren Church Road, Leola.

Runners can register for the 5K at www.clinicforspecial children.org prior to the race

Church Posts Community Meal

Lititz Church of the Brethren, 300 W. Orange St., will host a community meal on Wednesday, May 20, from 6 to 6:45 p.m. in the pavilion behind the church next to the Tree House playground. The meal will include grilled hot dogs with rolls, as well as sides and desserts. After the meal, a program will be held for people of all ages.

The event is free of charge, and donations will be accepted. In the case of rain, the event will be held in the Family Life Center, and attendees should use the entrance at the rear of the church.

For more information about the church, visit www.lititzcob.org. Details about the Tree House playground are available at www.treehouselititz.org.

Wolfe will be present to answer questions and provide demonstrations, and refreshments and snacks will be served.

“Taekwondo can help with self-confidence,” said Wolfe. “I see people who are bashful and held back, and they can be really good leaders. They’ll get limber and learn the ability to stretch. I think it’s going to build core strength. Flexibility is important, especially when you get to an older age. It’s also a good complement to other sports.”

I think the need is there. I think there are a lot of people interested in the martial arts.

“I’m hoping to reach students who aren’t involved in a lot of other things,” added Wolfe. “I’m hoping they’re people who want to be active and who want to invest in themselves and better themselves. Physical activity is important to your mental health. It changes your outlook on things.”

Church Sets Craft and Yard Sale

Faith United Methodist Church (UMC), 1290 Fruitville Pike, Lititz, will hold its annual spring craft and yard sale on Saturday, May 23, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will take place rain or shine. The church’s driveway is accessible via Koser Road.

Faith UMC will host a book, CD, and DVD sale inside its welcome center, with items available by donation. A food

stand will feature hot dogs, chips, desserts, and drinks. The church’s youth group will offer various items by donation, with proceeds supporting the group’s events and missions.

To reserve a 20-by-20-foot yard sale space in the grass, visit https://tinyurl.com/FaithUMC YardSale or call 717-696-5321. No tables will be provided. Payment is due upon arrival on May 23.

SHADE TREE

Wolfe’s typical Taekwondo classes consist of stretching, basic movements, kicking and punching stations, games, weapons training and optional sparring.

“There’s a lot of respect shown in classes, and we hope that respect carries over,” said Wolfe, a resident of Brickerville. “People will bow in as respect to the teacher and others. If students show an affinity for it, we ask them to instruct so they can help me in class.”

Lititz recCenter began its Wolfe-led Taekwondo classes in April. If Wolfe’s commitment is any indication, the future of the program is bright.

“I was in the right place at the right time, and I stepped up,” said Wolfe. “My goal is to build a lasting program from the ground up, maybe even get people to compete on the local and state levels. I’m not going anywhere.

Wolfe was initially introduced to Taekwondo at the Lititz recCenter decades ago when he was a teenager in the Warwick School District. Now a fifth Dan in Taekwondo, Wolfe has been the director of martial arts at Spooky Nook Sports and an instructor for the United States Air Force Law Enforcement Academy.

“I taught in the military, and Taekwondo has just been such a huge part of my life,” said Wolfe. “I like the discipline and the regularity of going to class. This is something you can do through the entire year. It’s something that really helps me focus. It gives people another outlet to focus on.

“I don’t know that people really know about it unless you have a teacher like I did,” concluded Wolfe. “I want to pass on my knowledge. I’m looking for someone to take my place.” For additional information, go to https://lititzrec.com/ disciplines-programs.

LHF to Host Concert

Foundation (LHF) will present the first show in its 2026 Summer Concert Series in its Mary Oehme Gardens, located behind 145 E. Main St., Lititz, on Sunday, May 17, at 6:30 p.m.

Music will be provided by 3 Hour Tour, a yacht rock and soul group based in Lancaster. Attendees should bring chairs and blankets. Free parking is available nearby, and refreshments will be available for a fee. The event is paywhat-you-can, and donations will be accepted to help preserve LHF’s gardens and 18th-century structures.

or in person beginning at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the event. All proceeds from the 5K will benefit the Clinic for Special Children, which serves kids and adults with rare genetic disorders.

“It’s open to anyone who has interest in running and supporting the mission,” said Cullen. “It brings people together, and it’s nice to see a community there. It helps us reach everyone about our mission and the work we do.”

“There’s more to this event than raising funds,” said Magill. “It’s also important to how we communicate our brand.”

In addition to the chip-timed 5K race, the event will feature a 1.5-mile family walk that will also begin at 9 a.m., as well as a kids’ color fun run, which will get underway at 10:15 a.m. Prizes will be awarded to the top overall female finisher and top overall male finisher in the 5K race, as well as the top finishers in 12 age divisions, between 14 and under and 70 and older.

The 5K’s vibe will be enhanced by the presence of food trucks offering breakfast items and coffee for purchase.

“We’re doing things to make it fun,” said Magill, a resident of Akron. “We want a lot of people to have a great time.”

“It’s a happy celebration and a happy moment for the people we serve,” said Cullen, a resident of Manor Township. “We’ll have people walking and pushing strollers. It’s really a welcoming, positive event.”

The relatively flat 5K course will traverse scenic Lancaster County farmland. From the Leola Produce Auction, the course will take a right on Peace Road, a left on North Hershey Avenue, then a left on Balmertown Road, before taking a right on Brethren Church Road, a left on Center Square Road, a left on North Maple Avenue, and then a left on Peace Road before returning to the produce auction.

As many as 500 participants are expected to attend the event, and

The event, which will provide healthy snacks for participants, will afford runners opportunities to create or join fundraising teams.

organizers of the event are seeking to make as much as $80,000 for the Clinic for Special Children. More than 30 local businesses and community members are sponsoring the 5K.

The Clinic for Special Children, which is located at 20 Community Lane, Gordonville, operates under a $7 million annual budget, 70% of which is funded by benefit auctions, contributions, grants and fundraisers.

“Giving represents 70% of our revenue and allows us to provide services that are affordable and fundable,” said Magill. “Part of the reason we do so well is that we have very generous patrons.”

Timeless Tea Affair Planned

House of His Creation will hold its second annual Timeless Tea Affair on Saturday, May 30, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lincoln Shoe Co.,

The women’s tea party will feature catering from Two Peas in a Pot. A live auction will take place, with items including a Pampered Chef air fryer, a gift card to JN Hair & Nails, a photo shoot, and more. There will also be a “silver spoon” 50/50 drawing.

The tea party is for people age 12 and older. There is a

discount for individual tickets if purchased by Sunday, May 17, as well as a discount for tables

of eight people. To purchase tickets, visit https://tinyurl.com/ hohc-tea-party.

The Clinic for Special Children, which was founded in 1989, serviced 5,700 patient interactions in 2025 from individuals challenged by rare genetic disorders.

“Each year, 400 new patients walk through our door,” said Cullen. “Not only are we caring for children and adults, but we’re also furthering the science. Our work is based in Lancaster County, but it impacts outside of Lancaster County and the plain community. Ninety percent of our patients are from the plain community, and many are uninsured.”

Runners launch from the starting line at last year’s Clinic for Special Children 5K.

CareerLink

“It depends on the individual,” said Chris Roggenbaum, who’s been the site administrator at PA CareerLink Lancaster County for three years. “Some people may say they have a job. For me, my job is part of my career. It’s part of my path. Some people are looking for jobs. A lot of times, people put their identities into whether they have a job or a career.”

also hosts job fairs and works with local employers to sponsor job fairs.

“I used to have a boss who told me, ‘Hey, a job or having a career is an important part of people’s identities,’” said Roggenbaum. “When you meet people for the first time, it’s not too far into the conversation when you ask them, ‘What do you do for a living?’”

said Roggenbaum. “We’re usually below the state rate. Lancaster County is bustling. We have a lot going on here.”

The causes of unemployment are as varied as the types of employment available here.

An arm of the Lancaster County Workforce Development Board, PA CareerLink Lancaster County, which is located at 1046 Manheim Pike, Lancaster, is a job center that provides locals opportunities to improve themselves financially, to enhance their lives and to self-actualize. PA CareerLink Lancaster County’s hours of operation are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“A lot of people come to us thinking we’re the unemployment office, but we are not,” said Roggenbaum. “Our goal is to get individuals back to work or further their skills for their current job. We’re here to help people enter or re-enter the local work force. There are a variety of ways to do that.”

PA CareerLink Lancaster County offers self-service job searches, case management services, mock interviews, résumé assistance, training, workshops and youth and adult programming. PA CareerLink

PA CareerLink collaborates with numerous Lancaster County employers, who can post current openings on the organization’s website free of charge. PA CareerLink also works with human service agencies, manufacturing agencies, staffing agencies and the Lancaster County Assistance Office.

It has its finger on the pulse of the employment community.

More than 10,000 people pass through the doors of 1046 Manheim Pike, Lancaster, every single year.

“A lot of these people have lost their jobs or need some sort of assistance,” said Roggenbaum. “We have individuals looking for training. We have veterans or spouses of veterans who have relocated to the area. We have people with disabilities. It’s a variety of people in different phases of their career journeys, from first jobs to starting over.”

The current unemployment rate in Lancaster County stands at 3.3%, well below Pennsylvania’s rate of 4.3%. Among the top Lancaster employers are Lancaster General Hospital, Mutual Assistance Group, the county of Lancaster and Giant Food Stores.

“One of the things we’re proud of in Lancaster is that we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state, and that’s consistent,”

“Some people are unemployed,” said Roggenbaum. “Companies significantly lay off, or factors cause ripple effects. It could be the field. Individuals may go from one warehouse to another. Sometimes transportation or child care are factors. Some of it is just lost jobs. Things like that do happen.”

PA CareerLink was established in Lancaster County in 2001; the site is one of the organization’s 66 locations in the state. More than 40 staff members work at PA CareerLink Lancaster County, but they are not technically employed by PA CareerLink, which receives both federal and state funding. Those staff members operate an on-site food pantry, collect blankets for those in need and volunteer in the community.

“PA CareerLink Lancaster County is a group of proud partners working together,” said Roggenbaum. “PA CareerLink is an umbrella. I wear a PA CareerLink shirt, I represent PA CareerLink, but I don’t work for PA CareerLink. Our clients don’t care about that. They just care about the services we provide.

“We get people who come in our doors regularly who didn’t know we existed or didn’t know that there was anyone who could help them,” concluded Roggenbaum. “We don’t want to be the best-kept secret. We’re here to help - help people get back to work.”
