Market To Support Local Community Spirit

BY JEFF FALK

Market means farm to table. Market means fresh. Market means shopping local.

For Venture Lititz, market means community.

“The Lititz Farmers Market is more than a place to shop; it’s a celebration of community in its purest form,” said Alyssa Diehm, administrative assistant for Venture Lititz. “You’ll see it in neighbors supporting neighbors, new friends bonding over a shared love of Chilango’s tacos and old friends catching up while their children dance to live music. It is a weekly reminder of our town’s commitment to coming together and elevating our local growers, bakers and makers.”

Venture Lititz’s Farmers Market is back with a vengeance, ready to take that community spirit to new levels this summer.

Volunteers

At the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania, staff members have a difficult time imagining a world

“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

ODC Serving Delicious Dishes With Purpose

BY JEFF FALK

There’s something blue-collaralmost workmanlike, in a culinary sense - about consuming delicious food prepared in a truck. In that vein, a food truck festival seems like the perfect fundraiser for Occupational Development Center (ODC).

“The best thing about the festival is seeing people discover their new favorite foods and their new favorite food trucks,” said Ken Mueller, the public relations and development manager for ODC. “Some people know exactly which trucks they want to go to, while others will spend a lot of time trying something new, based on what they hear people saying about the different trucks as they walk around. It creates a real sense of community, with great food at the center of it all.”

ODC of Lancaster will host its eighth annual Food Truck Fest from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, at Stauffer Park, 1241 Lititz Pike, Lancaster. Proceeds from the community event will benefit ODC, which supports Lancaster County adults with developmental disabilities through vocational training and employment opportunities, and the Manheim Township Recreation Department.

“This is our eighth year hosting this event, and we continue to be amazed by how much it grows each year,” said Gregg Richards, ODC’s executive director. “Many people arrive early and spend the day relaxing in the park while sampling food from a variety of trucks. We believe the new kid zone will give families even more

The festival’s atmosphere will be supplemented by music from DJs; a kid zone; a toucha-truck experience featuring Manheim Township vehicles; photo opportunities; an obstacle course; a visit by the Lancaster Bookmobile; and games. More than 5,000 individuals are expected to attend.

At LifeCycles, a simple bike ride is the start of something bigger. With every mile, young riders build confidence, courage and resilience, skills that carry far beyond the road ahead. The nonprofit, which offers free long-distance cycling experiences for boys and girls ages 12 to 18, just kicked off its 12th season of transforming lives, one ride at a time.

The food trucks are operated by owners from Lancaster, New Holland, Ephrata, Akron, Elizabethtown, Columbia, Lebanon, Hershey, York and Red Lion.

The ODC Food Truck Fest is being supported by more than eight generous sponsors.

“This is such a great event,” said Mueller.

“Many of the people live within walking distance of the park,” said Mueller, “but we also draw from all over the county and beyond.”

Located at 640 Martha Ave., Lancaster, ODC, which was established in 1949, operates under the tagline “Creating opportunity through community.” The organization seeks to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities through meaningful employment.

“The ODC has been an important part of the larger Lancaster County community for 77 years,” said Mueller. “We provide valuable vocational skills training and employment services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are also making a concerted effort to be an important part of our immediate neighborhood and community by serving our neighbors and creating events to get to know our community.”

For additional information, go to www.odcenter.org.

Teams meet on Tuesdays at Riverfront Park, 551 Vinegar Ferry Road, Marietta, and on Thursdays at Amos Herr Park, 1700 Nissley Road, Landisville. Both groups gather at 5:45 p.m. and finish up at 8 p.m. The season runs through mid-October.

“There are separate girls’ teams and boys’ teams, and each team has multiple ride groups based on skill level and strength, so there’s a place for teens of any level of development, including beginners,” said Lee DeRemer, LifeCycles director.

Each evening, participants experience a ride, mentoring, a hot meal and lots of encouraging coaching while making new friends.

“We provide free 24-speed bicycles, helmets, uniform shirts, safety lights, everything,” Lee said. “Each evening, approximately 25 girls and 10 women ride together, and 45 boys and 20 men ride together in ride groups of six to nine riders. We use a separate curriculum for girls and boys - the curriculum is focused on character development, life skills and spiritual growth.”

While riders of any skill

level are encouraged to join LifeCycles, the more advanced riders are invited to participate in one of four summer challenge rides. Destinations will be Cape Cod and the Great Allegheny Passage, and two groups will travel from the Adirondack Mountains to northern Vermont and northern New Hampshire. Based in Lancaster, LifeCycles is supported by Community Fellowship Church of Lancaster and by more than 100 people who believe in the organization’s mission. LifeCycles began in 2015, when Lee and his wife, Marcie, created the program to provide friendship, mentoring and bike riding, all with a faith focus.

LifeCycles is open to youths throughout Lancaster County. Kids can join the program at any time during the season, Lee said, noting that many people join throughout the spring and summer as other commitments at school end and their calendars open up.

“LifeCycles is a great way to meet friends, grow and do something you probably already enjoy,” he remarked. “Come to improve your skills, see new parts of Lancaster County and beyond in a safe and positive environment.”

Beyond supporting biking skills, LifeCycles provides encouragement for kids to step out of their comfort zone and believe in their ability to “do hard things,” the organization’s motto.

“You can expect to be seen, valued and encouraged as you grow physically and spiritually,” Lee commented.

You Too Can Be a “Misfit on a Mission”

BY JEFF FALK

They call themselves “Misfits.” But that is not a complete representation of who they are and what they are all about.

They could also call themselves “Supporters,” “Heroes” or “Sympathizers.”

“We are a group of people who have been impacted by cancer in some way, either as caregivers, survivors, or we have friends who have gone through the fight,” said Sharon Groff, the Misfits on a Mission team captain. “When we started, most teams were affiliated with a school group, church group, a business or family members. We were a group of people who wanted to do something to give back in honor or in memory of loved ones. Thus, we were a bunch of misfits who had no affiliation, but were on a mission in the fight against cancer.”

Misfits on a Mission is an independent, six-member Relay for Life team that will be out in full force at Conestoga Valley High School (CVHS), 2110 Horseshoe Road, Lancaster, on Friday, June 12, from 3 to 11 p.m., when the American Cancer Society stages its popular local fight against cancer. The volunteer-led, fundraising and awareness-raising Relay for Life brings people together from all over Lancaster County who have been directly or indirectly affected by cancer.

Lancaster County’s

annual Relay for Life will feature local teams and individuals running or walking around CVHS’ track in support of loved ones who have battled cancer and will include music, kids’ activities, food trucks, baked goods, crafters and auctions.

“The vibe at Relay is upbeat and fun. It’s a family event,” said Groff.

“Everyone is welcome to attend; you do not have to be part of a team to come out and enjoy the activities. As evening sets in, the atmosphere does change with the luminaria service.

Lanterns and luminarias are lit around the track in remembrance or in honor of someone who has (battled) or is battling cancer.”

Misfits on a Mission is currently seeking community members, interested individuals or altruistic businesses to support its efforts at Relay for Life. The team is offering varying levels of sponsorship opportunities, donations which will be recognized with banners displayed at the event.

To become a Misfits on a Mission sponsor, contact Groff at 717-354-2656 or sgroff56@gmail.com.

Traditionally, Misfits on a Mission has been one of Relay for Life of Lancaster County’s top fundraising teams. Currently, the team has raised $36,000 toward this year’s goal of $40,000.

“Dollars raised by Relay for Life of Lancaster

County stay here in Lancaster County,” said Groff, a resident of East Earl.

“The funds raised are used to fund groundbreaking

cancer research, to provide free patient services like rides to treatment and lodging, to support cancer

Celebrating Lancaster Water Week

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

More than a decade ago, Fritz Schroeder was paddling on the Conestoga River when he realized something. The now president and CEO of Lancaster Conservancy saw the challenges facing the waterway but also its great potential to become a thriving place for wildlife and recreation.

Lancaster Water Week grew out of that experience, and the event will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year from Friday, June 5, through Saturday, June 13.

“We have over 60 events hosted by more than 40 partners,” said Avery Van Etten, marketing and communications manager for Lancaster Conservancy. “There are so many events that no matter what you’re interested in, whether it’s paddling or hiking, taking a rain garden workshop, participating in an art event or other activities, there are so many ways for everyone to get involved.”

Highlights of Lancaster Water Week include First Friday in downtown Lancaster on June 5, when people can pick up free native plants or seeds and

enjoy immersive activities hosted by organizations working in the clean water movement.

On Tuesday, June 9, a 10th anniversary event will be held at West Art, 816 Buchanan Ave., Lancaster, from 5 to 8 p.m.

“This is an opportunity to connect with members of our clean water community and enjoy water-themed games, arts and crafts and activities,” Van Etten said.

“West Art’s café will be open, and we’ll have a food truck and ice cream. And then around 6:30 p.m. we’ll have a presentation and a film screening, and we’ll wrap up with a DJ dance party with DJ Image.”

Other highlights include a creek stomp on Wednesday, June 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Stauffer Run stream at Greenfield, starting at the S. Dale High Leadership Center, 1861 William Penn Way, Lancaster.

“This is a super fun event that’s geared especially toward families with children,” Van Etten said.

Also on June 10, from 4 to 6 p.m., people are invited to explore a new self-guided nature trail sponsored by Eurofins on one of

its campus green spaces, located at 2430 New Holland Pike, Lancaster.

On Thursday, June 11, Lancaster City Stormwater staff will lead a tour of the newly installed wetland system at Long’s Park, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. That same day, from 4 to 5 p.m., tours of the Lititz Borough Wastewater Treatment Plant will be offered.

On June 13, conservation specialists RiverStewards Collaborative and LandStudies will join the Conestoga-Susquehannock Tribe and Circle Legacy Center to present “Weaving Indigenous Perspectives into Local Conservation and Restoration.” The program will take place at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse, 112 N. Water St., Lancaster, from 2 to 5 p.m.

Another highlight of the week will be the Rally for the River & Conestoga Cleanup on June 13 from 9 a.m. to noon. Participants will meet at Lancaster County Central Park and then head out to volunteer with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and partners at multiple spots along the Conestoga River.

“This is an especially exciting event because the Conestoga was recently named Pennsylvania’s River of the Year,” Van Etten said, explaining that the public voted for the river through the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers. “There are just so many things to do during Water Week. It’s an engaging and energizing, fun week.”

Caring for Lancaster County’s streams and rivers is important, she said, because these waterways are places for recreation and homes for wildlife. They provide sources of drinking water as well, but according to the Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Report

for 2026, more than 90% of the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in the county are considered “impaired.”

“We see this as a challenge but also as an opportunity to care for our waterways,” Van Etten said. “Improving our waterways is a daunting task, but it’s something we can achieve.”

Along with participating in Water Week activities, people are encouraged to take three action steps promoted by the Lancaster Conservancy.

They include creating habitats by planting native plants, protecting water by learning about your local watershed, and exploring the outdoors.

“We believe that when people explore our waterways and our natural lands, they will fall in love with them and want to help take care of them,” Van Etten said.

Lancaster Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust charged with protecting more than 11,000 acres of natural land, including more than 50 nature preserves in Lancaster and York counties and more than 60 miles of trails. People can support the organization by participating in educational events throughout the year, volunteering with the group or donating to the cause.

As she gears up for Water Week, Van Etten expressed gratitude for the collaborative nature of the event.

“We are so grateful for the incredible partners and sponsors that make Water Week possible and all the community members that join us for events during Water Week,” she said. “Without these, Water Week wouldn’t happen.”

For Auscultation Brass, Music Is Medicine

BY JEFF FALK

On the surface, there is no obvious connection between medicine and music. That is, until you realize that music goes with anything, or everything.

Auscultation Brass is a collection of healing artists and a group of musical physicians.

“I think there’s a part in our brains that, when music hits our ears, it becomes very soothing,” said Dr. Jerry Rothacker, the scheduler and main contact for Auscultation Brass. “For years, when I did surgery, I didn’t allow music in the operating room. I didn’t want it to be a distraction. But at one point, I told my staff, ‘I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to play classical music.’ What I found was that it wasn’t a distraction; it helped people concentrate.

“What I was listening to wasn’t what my staff was listening to when they were driving home,” he added. “That’s the beauty of music.”

Auscultation Brass is a Lancaster-based band made up of medical professionals - nurses and mostly doctors. Medicine is their profession, and music is their interest, but

they are passionate about both.

“Auscultation means to listen,” said Rothacker, a retired orthopedic surgeon and a tuba-playing resident of East Hempfield. “It’s like a doctor listening to your lungs and heart with a stethoscope. That’s Auscultation. We had a little discussion when the band was first formed. Someone came up with Auscultation, and we said, ‘That’s it.’”

Auscultation Brass is directed by Dr. Bob Belser, an ear, nose and throat man, while Dr. Michael Chambers, a maxillofacial surgeon, plays the trombone and serves as the group’s musical librarian. Chambers is joined on the trombone by Dr. Marguerite Duane, a family doctor. Dr. Tom Andersen, a retired family physician, plays the tuba.

Trumpet players include Dr. Dan Diehl, a retired family doctor; Dr. Andy Lutzkanin, a family physician; and Dr. Bill Roberts, a retired family doctor. Intensive Care Unit nurse Kirby Strohmaier plays the French horn, as does Dr. Bill Lovett, a practicing family doctor.

Those health professionals have practiced medicine in local hospitals like Lancaster General, performed as specialists at places like Orthopedic Associates of

Pig Roast

Brunnerville United Methodist Church, 517 Pine Hill Road, Lititz, will hold a pig roast on Saturday, June 6. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or until sold out.

The meal will consist of pork on a brioche roll, baked beans, mac and cheese, coleslaw, a dessert, and a drink. There is a cost per meal, and takeout and eat-in options are available. The pig roast will be held rain or shine.

Lancaster or been on their own in private practices.

“I think some of the attraction is the discipline it takes to learn to play an instrument,” said Rothacker. “You don’t just pick it up. You’ve got to work at it every day. As you get older, it becomes a mental challenge.”

Auscultation Brass specializes in the genres of classical, light classical, pop, marches and movie-themed music. Over the last four decades, the members have grown as musicians, the group has evolved as a band and Auscultation Brass’ library has ballooned to more than 300 pieces of music.

“We try to practice once a week,” said Rothacker. “It’s been Sunday evenings for 40 years. At one time, that was the night that was the calmest, with medical emergencies and young kids. The thing I’m most proud of is that we’ve been able to evolve. When we first started, it was fairly basic stuff. We’re on to some more difficult music, and we’ve been able to add members.”

Established in 1985, Auscultation Brass now plays about 12 venues each year, mostly at churches, retirement homes, medical events and festivals.

“When we first started, we had patients who would come to our performances,” said Rothacker. “It was kind of like, ‘Hey, this guy has a life outside of medicine.’ But the story is music. You can be a musician, enjoy music and not necessarily make it your field. The members in our band are really good musicians and really good doctors.”

Strawberry Festival Set

Luther Acres will hold its annual Strawberry Festival on Saturday, June 6, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Luthercare community at 600 E. Main St., Lititz.

Farmers Market

In late May, the annual local farmers market, which is being sponsored by Venture Lititz, opened for another growing season inside Lititz Springs Park, 24 N. Broad St., Lititz. The farmers market will be staged every Thursday from 3:30 to 7 p.m. through Oct.15.

The farmers market will not be conducted on Thursday, July 2.

by supporting the real families behind these small businesses.

Other members of Misfits on a Mission include Katelyn Martin of Ephrata, Katie Ruth of Ephrata, Vanessa Binkley of Ephrata, Sherri Means of New Holland and Helen McGinnis of Paradise.

For additional information, search for “Misfits on a Mission” on Facebook.

“This market reflects our mission to enhance and sustain the social and economic vibrancy of our community,” said Sam Thrush, executive director of Venture Lititz. “It creates access to fresh, local food while further activating downtown Lititz in the evening hours and providing a meaningful place for people to gather, connect and truly linger longer in our downtown.”

Each Thursday, the Lititz Farmers Market will host more than 11 vendors, farmers, artisans and small business owners offering produce, prepared foods and crafts. For those local entrepreneurs, the market is a bridge, an avenue for connecting their goods with consumers.

“We take great pride in curating a vendor lineup that prioritizes quality and local roots,” continued Diehm. “In fact, before the season even began, we visited our primary produce grower right here on his farm in Lititz to see the care behind the harvest. Our mission is to ensure that everything offered to our community is fresh, delicious and truly local. This year’s lineup is one of our best yet, featuring seasonal produce, microgreens and fresh eggs alongside local food trucks and prepared favorites like empanadas and authentic Mexican cuisine. With various bakers, specialty treats and even a stand for our four-legged friends, there truly is something for everyone.”

The downtown atmosphere of the weekly farmers market is enhanced by the playing of live music.

Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own baskets and bags.

“Shopping locally is so important,” said Diehm. “When you source your kitchen and pantry with staples from the Lititz Farmers Market, you are directly supporting the neighbors and friends who make our town thrive. There is something empowering about preparing a meal while using produce from a farm stand and where you’ve actually met the farmer and their family. Our goal is to keep our local economy strong

“Our goal is simple: to put the spotlight on the incredible farmers, bakers and makers who call Lititz their home,” said Diehm. “We are proud to provide local small business owners with a stage to grow their brand and share their passion. Of course, the real winners are our visitors who get to enjoy fresh, local staples in an atmosphere that is as lively and fun as it is welcoming.”

Venture Lititz, which sponsors a handful of community events throughout the year, exists to promote local businesses, support the downtown’s shopping district and attract visitors to town.

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 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.
