A
SSETS Lancaster
celebrates its
20th anniversary
this year, and
it continues to
assist aspiring
entrepreneurs
to create and grow sustainable
businesses through business training
programs, mentoring, and alliances
with other area business resources
such as Community First Fund,
SCORE Lancaster, and the Duke
Street Business Center (at the
Lancaster Public Library).
ASSETS was established in
1993 by Mennonite Economic
Development Associates. Jessica
King, ASSETS executive director,
said that since its inception, ASSETS
has supported well over 1,400
entrepreneurs in obtaining their
goals. The organizations staff and
volunteers, including King, are
entrepreneurs, current small business
owners and bankers.
Maria Garcia-Iniesta, ASSETS
program director, said, Our goal is
to have people think carefully about
what it takes to start a business.
During our 12-week business
design and management class, we
generate more questions for would-
be entrepreneurs to ask themselves.
At the end of the course, theyll have
a realistic idea of what it takes to set-
up a business.
She said that class members are
not only from Lancaster County, but
also York, Harrisburg and Reading.
The classes are a starting point, and
graduates may continue to research
and rene their business plan.
Garcia-Iniesta estimates that
since its inception, more than 900
people have graduated from ASSETS
training programs; approximately
500 businesses have been started, and
about 75 percent of those business
are still operational. ASSETS
graduates have started businesses in
a variety of areas including catering
businesses, restaurants, massage
studios, art galleries, hair salons,
cleaning and maintenance services,
watch repair, website design, tness
and health centers, craft stores,
painting, daycare centers, plumbing,
E-commerce, and video and game
arcades.
In the past three years, the number
of people interested in starting a
business has increased. After taking
our classes, if theyre still interested
in pursuing a business, it often
takes one- to two-years to start that
business, Garcia-Iniesta said.
During the past two decades,
the organization has evolved, but
still remains true to its original
mission. In 2002, a Spanish-only
program with business training and
counseling was developed. Classes
have also been offered in Russian for
recent immigrants.
In 2003, the organization relocated
from Liberty Place to its current
location at 237 N. Prince Street,
Lancaster.
King said that the organization
has faced some challenges in the
past few years. She said that in 2010
about half of ASSETS funding was
through county and city CDBG
(Community Development Block
Grant) funding. That funding has
been pared back in the past two
years, and in the scal year that
begins July 1, funding from those
sources will be eliminated.
As a result, weve had to refocus
our efforts. Were looking at how
to work more closely with other
organizations such as the (Lancaster
County) Workforce Investment
Board and the Lancaster Chamber
it doesnt make sense to duplicate
services, King said.
In refocusing its efforts, ASSETS
discontinued offering classes in
other locations such as Ephrata and
Manheim. We liked reaching out to
other parts of the county, but it was
no longer economically possible to
do so, King said.
Additionally the organization had
owned the four-story building where
its ofces are located. Its ofces
are located on the second oor,
and the rst oor had been used as
a small business incubator where
entrepreneurs helped by ASSETS
could operate out of a storefront
for a while. The incubator was
discontinued when the building was
sold in December 2011 to Michael
and Deborah Apostolopoulose,
who now operate their business,
Lancaster Trophy House there.
ASSETS has reached out to serve
various cultures. Last year ASSETS
launched a pilot refugee micro-
enterprise development class to
serve resettled refugees who may be
considering employment. King said
the effort was sparked by a request
in 2011 from a local church pastor
to assist a number of members, who
were resettled refugees from Burma,
in starting a garden enterprise to
grow Thai vegetables.
King said that the initial program
was a success and a new session
began in late January. ASSETS
will also offer a class in March in
conjunction with the Pennsylvania
Guild of Craftsmen. We have a
very diverse community, and were
looking to serve entrepreneurs
within that community, King said.

Providing Business Support for Aspiring
Entrepreneurs for Two Decades
Spanish class graduates at the December 4, 2012 graduation ceremony.
I
n the course
of one visit
to his Silver
Spring farm,
Tom Culton can
tell you about
the ingredient
that separates a good
Lancaster County pot pie
from a great one and, in
the same conversation,
rhapsodize about wild
tomatoes from Mexico.
Oh theyre beautiful, says
Culton, holding up a handful of tiny
red treasures, small by Lancaster
County tomato standards but packing
a avorful
punch.
Culton, 32,
is a farmer,
and proud
to be one.
On the 53 acres he shares with his
grandfather, Pete Herchelroth, 83,
Culton is also the owner of Culton
Organics, a business where you can
learn anything from the right way to
ensure that goose foie gras is t for
the most discriminating French palate
to what kind of goat, chicken or duck
is strolling about the family property,
which dates to 1740.
Such agricultural legacies are about
as Lancaster County as you can get.
Culton himself can often be seen
walking barefoot even in December
around his house and grounds,
wearing one of his trademark hats.
Hell cuddle a chicken while hes
talking to you like a beloved pet.
He recently nursed a broken arm,
a mishap that came courtesy of a
wild boar he encountered while
he was hunting in Pennsylvanias
Tioga County. And Culton cites his
grandfather still very much involved
in the land as an inspiration for
what keeps him going through life,
chickens, wild boars, and all.
He works harder than me, says
Culton with pride.
Culton has hosted chefs such as
Frances Joel Robuchon and Tom
Colicchio, one of the head judges
on the Bravo television networks
Top Chef, at his kitchen table. His
organics business has connections
with prestigious restaurants in
Philadelphia and New York, as well
as such places as John J. Jeffries at
Lancaster Arts Hotel.
Cultons clients might hail from
France, Belgium and England. Hes
also involved with
The Food Trust, a
Philadelphia-based
nutrition advocacy
group which runs a
seasonal market in
that citys historic
Headhouse Square.
Indeed, Culton
is not your typical
barefoot farm boy.
There are goats on
the farm, including
Oliver, a 250-pound
male breeder of
the Oberhasli
variety, which
traces its origins
to Switzerland
(the goats are for the making of goat
cheese). There are turkeys, but not
just any kind.
They are heritage breed turkeys,
Culton says, noting such varieties as
Bourbon Reds, Narragansett, and
Black Spanish, the latter of which
pre-date the year 1500. On a recent
visit, the male turkeys were in full
mating mode, ufng out their
colorful feathers. They are showing
for the hens, Culton explains (By the
way, these being wild turkeys, they
can y, and roost in trees).
Speaking of poultry, some of the
chickens like the one Culton picks
up and carries around are Japanese
Garden chickens. Geese and there
are many could boast connections
to Sevastopol, the city in Ukraine on
the Black Sea.
In his greenhouses warm,
welcome refuges on a cold day
Culton is perfecting such delights as
Piment dEspelette, a pepper which
will be ground into a powder for a
avor thats not your typical pepper
shaker fodder.
But dont be put off by all the
exotica.
Culton does grow saffron, often
called the most expensive spice in the
world. But his involvement with the
labor-intensive treasure has a personal
connection.
His late mother, Nancy Fackler,
who passed away in 2001, enjoyed
growing the spice. Its a tribute
to her, Culton says of his link
with saffron.
Theres also a tasty tie as well.
The secret to a good pot pie
is saffron, both Culton and his
grandfather will tell you, using almost
the same words.
Culton has big plans down the road
for his organics business, some fun,
some serious.
For instance, hes working on having
a diner yes, a real diner trucked
from Kansas to Lancaster County,
where he hopes to open a restaurant
two years from now. Culton wants to
have guest chefs from all over and
he knows a lot of chefs do cooking
sessions there, but his place promises
to be accessible; its not going to be
exclusive, he says.
On a more patriotic level, Culton
is taking steps to hire returning
veterans from our conicts overseas
(he has a buddy who has served tours
in Afghanistan) as part of his farming
work. Aware of the post-traumatic
stress disorders many veterans face,
Culton wants to offer what he calls
agricultural healing.
It all ties in with Cultons conn-
ection with the earth.
[Its] the healing of the land, he
sums up.
The land expresses itself through
our work. You take care of the land,
and it takes care of you.

Helping customers sleep better for
less is Lancaster Mattress Companys
focus. This 29-year-old locally owned
sleep shop offers an
extensive selection of
Sealy and Stearns &
Foster mattresses at
its ve locations. It is
also a factory-direct
Sealy gallery, and all
products are made in
the US.
The average life of
a spring mattress is
10-years, and specialty
mattresses such as latex or memory
foam have a longer lifespan.
Miller says that Lancaster Mattress
knowledgeable staff helps guide
customers through the mattress
selection process. Factors such as
age, how one sleeps (sleep position),
and medical conditions all affect
mattress selection.
Memory foam relieves
pressure points, which is
great for someone with
back issues. Ultra-rm
mattresses can hamper
blood circulation and
can cause a person to
toss and turn.
Lancaster Mattress
also offers free delivery
and removal of the old
mattress.

or most of her
life, Kim Crow
has been very
practical, working
as an orthopedic
x-ray technician and
caring for her family.
After 27 years in
the medical eld, she
decided to do something
a little impractical and express her
nostalgia for the past. The result is
her collectibles shop in downtown
Lititz, The Curiosity Shoppe,
39 E. Main St.
I needed a break after all
those years, and I wanted to have
some fun, says the 54-year-old
shopkeeper. And I am!
The fulllment of a lifelong dream
came about after challenges in her
life, including a divorce, moving
back to Lancaster County after years
in New Jersey, and caring for her
sister who passed away after
battling cancer.
It was clearly time to start over,
and Crow took the chance. She put
her nancial resources into The
Curiosity Shoppe, which she named
after the title of a Charles Dickens
novel. Everything in her charming
shop was meant to bring joy into the
lives of others and recapture the past
of Baby Boomers, just like her.
Who wouldnt feel cheered by
Gumby, Pokey, Etch-A-Sketch, old
metal lunch boxes, school dresses
and collectibles from the 40s, 50s,
60s and 70s? Her entire shop brings
a smile to the faces of those who
remember classroom days of the 60s
or wedding photos from the 50s.
This is the number one thing that
people comment on, says Crow,
showing off a pretty plaid school
dress with smocking, embroidered
daisies and a sweet white collar.
They dont make dresses like this
anymore.
The Curiosity Shoppe is
delightfully cluttered with nostalgia,
including a red plaid metal picnic
basket, an authentic Etch-A-Sketch,
a sock monkey, Magic 8 Ball, Ouija
board, record albums, turntable,
metal roller skates, postcards and
much more, There are old-fashioned
housewares, like Depression glass,
salt and pepper shakers, wooden
rolling pins, metal pie plates, plates
and bowls, Christmas decorations,
aprons and rotary phones.
The big attraction, however, is
Crows growing collection of vintage
clothing. When she rst opened the
shop, Crow had just a few vintage
clothing items. But demand was
there. Every time I had vintage
clothing in the shop, people wanted
more, says Crow. I always loved
clothes from the past. They are made
so well.
Gradually, Crow expanded the
second oor of The Curiosity Shop
to include fashions from the 40s,
50s, 60s and 70s. She has everything
from prom dresses with pink tulle to
go-go boots and sexy mini dresses.
She has Asian style silk dresses from
Hong Kong and maxi skirts that hit
the oor. There are mink stoles and
fox fur jackets, as well as those odd
little wraps made of minks with tails
and tiny mink faces. There are also
lots of hats, from pillboxes of the 60s
to veiled hats from the 50s.
Back in the day, women had
shoes, hats, gloves, dresses, jackets
and everything matched awlessly,
says Crow, adding that she also has
a bridal shop with wedding dresses,
bridesmaid dresses and accessories
from the past.
To nd her vintage clothing, Crow
has found the perfect resource.
Seniors who are downsizing.
Many times as older women move
into retirement homes, they must
downsize and get rid of treasured
dresses, jackets, shoes, hats and
other accent pieces. Crow buys their
treasured clothing outright, which
gives them needed cash. And she
loves to hear their stories.
One dress was the dress a woman
wore on her rst date with her
husband-to-be. Another dress was
worn when an older lady was mother
of the bride. Still another outt dates
back to the 60s when the mod look
was coming into vogue.
I am so excited to nd these
wonderful outts that have been
lovingly cared for, says Crow. And
I am even happier to see them go to a
new wardrobe of someone who will
appreciate them.
Crow has found that young
women who are interested in theatre,
nostalgia, and have an offbeat, trendy
style love the vintage clothing in her
shop. Others are thrilled to nd a
dress or blouse they remember from
their youth.
Merchandising and displaying
her vintage clothing and collectibles
is much of the fun. She even has a
mannequin from Zaps in Lancaster,
known as Heidi. Crow is happy to
have the chance to put her artistic
and creative side to work at The
Curiosity Shoppe. Its like going
back to the future.

Lancaster Toyota is celebrating
its 40th anniversary this year. The
family-owned business has come
a long way since Robert Allen Sr.
opened the dealership on E. King St.,
Lancaster. Today the Allen family
of dealerships include Lancaster
Toyota, Lancaster Scion, Lancaster
Mazda, a used car center and LTM
Collision Centerall clustered near
the Manheim Pike and Enterprise
Road intersection.
Our business is constantly
evolving, said general manager
Rick Price.
The facilities are clustered outside
East Petersburg, near the intersection
of Manheim Pike and Enterprise
Road, and the rst facilitya
showroom was constructed there in
1974. The dealership has expanded
ve times since then. A used car
facility was built in 1985. A truck
center was built in 2005, and in
2008 the used car showroom was
remodeled to become a two-story
building with administrative ofces
on the second oor. An acquisition
of adjacent land allowed for the
relocation and expansion of the parts
and service department in 2011;
customers drive into this new state-
of-the-art facility, which is climate-
controlled. The dealerships most
recent project was demolition and
rebuilding of the Toyota showroom.
We are always trying to improve
our Sales and Service processes,
Price said. These various projects not
only allow vehicles to be showcased,
but they also enhance the customer
experience. Customer focus is #1
with usour goal is to offer the
customer the best experience, and
we deliver. We have an excellent
product, an excellent owner, and the
best staff, Price said.

was promoted to general manager in
2008. Everyone, from the owners
to the staff members who wash
vehicles, is committed to providing
the best customer experienceand
doing it with a smile, Price said.

12 FEBRUARY 24, 2013 EDUCATION PROGRESS LANCASTER, PA
I
t all started in 1999 when
Jennifer Moorehead was
busy raising her three
children. She describes
them as being very
inquisitive hands-on
learners. She started
looking for a way to
answer their questions
about how the world
worked and also make
it fun for them to learn.
So Moorehead started to do simple
science experiments with them in
her garage.
It wasnt that different from how
she, herself, was raised. Mooreheads
father was a biologist and he would
also do fun science experiments
and activities for his children while
they were growing up. Moorehead
remembers growing their own
vegetable gardens in the backyard
and raising chickens and goats.
But what started out as just fun,
simple science experiments between
a child and parent has quickly
snowballed into a million dollar
business called Science Explorers.
Science Explorers, in Blue Ball,
is a hands-on science company
dedicated to providing opportunities
for children ages 4-11 to become
engaged in science by way of after-
school programs, science summer
camps, school assemblies, or scout
badge earning events. Currently
Science Explorers runs programs
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and Delaware.
Moorehead explains that when
Science Explorers have an after
school science club at a school, they
work closely with the educators
there. The goal is really to help
support them. Science Explorers can
develop and design its after-school
programs around a teachers specic
curriculum helping to expand upon
the lessons learned in the classroom.
Moorehead said she understands
how teachers do not have the time
or the resources to delve into each
science chapter the way they would
probably like. Science Explorers does
this in fun interactive ways. They
kick off the start of the club with a
school assembly and also provide all
necessary items and materials for the
program. Tuition is usually about
$16 a week per child for a six week
program paid for by the parents.
Additionally, during the summer,
Science Explorers provides half day
camps for children ages four to 11
at area elementary schools, colleges
and universities, museums, libraries,
botanical gardens, and parks and
recreation departments. The camps
stick to the same philosophy of making
science cool and exciting using
fun, interactive hands on activities.
All kinds of topics are available such
as: earth science, astronomy, marine
biology and chemistry. Children
can dissect a shark or a squid, mix
together two liquids to create a solid,
make glowing slime, examine a real
heart, build and launch a rocket, lift
a person using nothing but air all
sorts of intriguing activities.
The curriculum for the after
school clubs and for the summer
camps is developed by educators
and lessons are aligned with national
science standards. Moorehead
stressed that the experiments are not
simply whiz-BANG! There is real
learning going on. Instructors at the
schools and at the camps are qualied
science educators and there are about
100 of them in the eld.
One school that has benetted
from Science Explorers is George
Ross School in Lancaster city.
Principal Camille Hopkins said the
program exceeded all expectations.
She explained how Science Explorers
came in and met with Ross teachers
to design a program that would
enhance the science curriculum. It
was a true hands-on science exposure.
Our students dissected a squid. They
would not have had that exposure
without Science Explorers. Hopkins
added that because of a grant from
one of Science Explorers corporate
partners, Ametek, Inc., the program
was free to the school. That was a
real blessing, said Hopkins.
Hopkins also said that after the
2009 program there was a big jump
in PSSA scores with her students and
she attributes that jump to Science
Explorers. It really gave our students
out of the box thinking. And we are
still riding that wave! She added,
The seeds that have been planted in
the students are really seeds of hope.
It gave them that spark (in the eld of
science.) They now know they can do
that, too.
Moorehead said 2012 was Science
Explorers best year ever. The
company is looking forward to 2013
and beyond continuing to help make
science fun and interesting for even
more children in the area with lots of
exciting programs.

LANCASTER, PA PROGRESS EDUCATION FEBRUARY 24, 2013 13
There are nearly 175 charter
schools in Pennsylvania. Of those
schools, about 16 are cyber charter
schools, providing instruction
through the Internet or other
electronic and digital means.
For school districts in the state
and in Lancaster County the
costs to fund cyber schools comes
from the school district and tax
payers where each student resides.
That has created challenges for
many school districts.
Not only do they pay for the
students that are attending their
own brick and mortar schools,
but they pay for students in
that school district who choose
to attend a cyber school. And
although they do not provide the
education to those cyber charter
students, the school districts are
responsible for providing a subsidy
to educate those students.
A charter school is required
to provide a minimum 180 days
of instruction or 900 hours per
school year of instruction at the
elementary level or 990 hours per
school year of instruction at the
secondary level.
In addition to the costs of
educating students in a cyber
charter school, school districts
throughout Lancaster County
facilitate testing ensuring students
are reaching academic goals.
Cyber charter schools, such as
SusQ-Cyber Charter School and PA
Distance Learning Charter School
both claim to offer academic
excellence, for their students. Yet,
neither of those schools have met
requirements for AYP or annual
yearly progress for students in
Pennsylvania, which is 83 percent.
Meeting that goal has been
challenging enough for school
districts within their own schools,
but cyber charter schools have
even tougher hurdles, since
the students attracted to cyber
learning tend to prefer working
at their own pace. Often,
cyber schools are facing rapidly
increasing enrollment gures,
high student turnover, and
students who have chosen cyber
schools because of academic issues
and special learning needs.
Students at all state public
schools, including cyber-charters,
must take Pennsylvania System
of School Assessment tests. PSSA
scores help determine AYP, which
measures compliance with the
federal No Child Left Behind law.
Only three of the states cyber
charter schools made AYP in 2012,
including 21st Century Cyber
Charter School, PA Leadership
Charter School and PA Learners
Online Regional Cyber Charter
School or STREAM Academy.
Unlike traditional schools,
students in cyber charter schools
have a much more exible
class schedule. While students
in traditional schools have a
regulated daily schedule of about
seven hours, with organized class
periods for math, science, English
and other subjects, cyber students
are more likely to work in shorter
time periods. It is much more
difcult to track cyber students.
With cyber schools, there is
actually more self-discipline
required of students, as well as
dedication of the parents. Thats
the only way cyber students can
be accountable for meeting the
standards set for all students
in Pennsylvania.
Some school districts, like the
Warwick School District, are
making an effort to take back
students from cyber charter
schools by creating their own
cyber schools. Warwick School
District started its own Warwick
Virtual Academy in August
2012, and has already had its
rst graduate. That student
needed to complete coursework
required for graduation from high
school. Through Warwick Virtual
Academy, students who may have
chosen other cyber schools can be
retained. As Warwick High School
assistant principal Scott Galen
pointed out, creating its own
online cyber school has produced
a cost savings of more than
$166,000 for the school district.
When Warwicks cyber school
was in its planning stages, Galen
had projected that 10 to 15
students might enroll in Warwick
Virtual Academy. Just three
months later, Galen reported that
50 students were utilizing the
Warwick cyber school, including
students who had been attending
other cyber schools, students who
were about to drop out of high
school, students with special needs
and students who needed to
complete requirements
to graduate.
With concerns about the
effectiveness of cyber education,
the rising costs to school districts
and their responsibility to
cyber students in their school
districts, more school districts
are considering ways to follow
Warwicks lead.
Our goal is the bring back
students and not lose tuition to
other cyber schools, said Galen.
And I think we can do better.

I
magine going to high
school at the mall.
For dozens of students
who have not found
success in the traditional
high school classroom,
Lancaster Academy offers
the opportunity to earn
a high school diploma not a
GED at its Lancaster location
at Park City Center.
Situated at the lower level
of the mall, next to the food
court and childrens play area,
Lancaster Academy has about 75
students enrolled in the non-
traditional high school program.
According to director Diane
Tyson, Lancaster Academy is
in its 19th year of operation.
A cooperative effort between
11 school districts in the county,
Lancaster Academy has nine to
10 slots for students from
each district.
This is a place for students
who havent had success in their
school district, for whatever
reason, says Tyson.
Those reasons can include
everything from teen pregnancy
and parenting to emotional and
mental health issues, drug and
alcohol problems to depression.
Some have family problems and
for them Lancaster Academy can
be a port in the storm,
says Tyson.
It doesnt hurt that this high
school is in the mall. Students can
enjoy lunch at the food court and
do a little shopping in between
classes. And if they dont want to
mention that they are catching
up on their high school degree,
they can just tell their friends
they are heading to the mall.
The Park City location is a
big plus, says Tyson. Its not
a typical school setting, and its
centrally located with a learning
lab that helps to prepare
students for the working world.
Of the 75 students currently
enrolled, seven have just
completed their class
requirements and are slated
to graduate from Lancaster
Academy with a high
school diploma.
For some students, the
traditional classroom or school
has not provided the ideal
learning environment, explains
Tyson. As a result, they may have
dropped out of school and now
realize that their action was not
well planned or thought out.
The Lancaster County Academy
provides a second chance to
earn a regular high school
diploma and acquire the needed
work skills desired by todays
employers. The Academy is a
partnership between business
and education. Students age
16-20 must reside in a sponsoring
school district and receive
approval from the district. Adults
over the age 21 who left school
in their junior or senior year are
also encouraged to apply.
Lancaster Academy offers a
self-paced instruction, exible
hours, career exploration, work-
based learning experiences and
links to training and education
beyond high school including
college, military and the
workforce.
The mission of Lancaster
Academy is providing individuals
with the opportunity to
experience success, become,
independent, life-long learners,
and prepare themselves to
become responsible, citizens in
an ever-changing world.
Average class size is 30 students
per three-hour session. Evening
classes are less crowded.

misplacing
the car keys

Now she cant nd her way home.
She thinks the neighbors are trying
to rob her. She cant keep track of

freak, the house has been messy
lately. Her daughter is concerned for
her mothers safety.
When is it time for 24/7
supervision? Its usually a crisis
situation, says Melissa Waltman,
executive director of Magnolias of
Lancaster, a memory care residence.
Some families do their homework
before they need it.
Magnolias of Lancaster is part
of Pittsburgh-based IntegraCare
Corporation, which operates nine
senior communities, all with a
memory care program. Magnolias
of Lancaster offers memory care
exclusively and is the only dedicated
memory care facility in the
Lancaster area.
Every detail is geared to residents
with Alzheimers or other forms of
dementia, from the building design
to the structured daily routine to the
activities designed for people with
memory issues.
Magnolias is home-like, with
a capacity of only 38 residents.
The front door opens to a cozy
great room with a replace.
Administrative ofces are right
inside the door. A reminiscence
screen shows old and new
photographs from residents lives.
Off the great room are the music and
TV rooms.
Color-coded, themed residential
hallways are built around an interior
courtyard. Natural light pours in
everywhere. By the door of every
room is a recessed reminiscence
box for personal mementoes.
Furnishings are sparse, to avoid
overstimulation.
Two dining rooms one for
independents, one for assistance
serve three meals a day
restaurant-style.
Craft activities take place in
a sunroom looking out on the
courtyard. The reminiscence room
has vintage hats and apparel to look
at or try on. A drawer contains toys
for visiting children. A workshop,
complete with hardhats, is equipped
for tinkering.
Magnolias looks and feels like a
boutique hotel all on one level,
with a circular walking pattern
so one can never get lost. Were
close to assisted living and half of
skilled nursing, explains Waltman.
What sets it apart is the attention to
residents memory loss and the safe,
Guiding principles of memory care
IntegraCares memory care programs, including Magnolias
of Lancaster, have six primary objectives:
1 Provide opportunities for meaningful activities promoting quality of life.
2 Focus on remaining skills and abilities.
3 Create an environment that facilitates a sense of belonging.
4 Provide opportunities that ensure purposeful use of time.
5 Support positive behaviors and reduce risk of incidents of negative behavior.
6 Provide an experience for verbal and nonverbal communication.
These aims may look like common sense, but applying them to the facilitys
physical layout, activities, and every personal interaction is thoughtful
and deliberate. In any personal-care situation, even at home, a culture of
understanding and respect promotes a more contented environment.
Magnolias of Lancaster is located at 1870 Rohrerstown Road, near East
Petersburg, phone (717) 560-1100. Open Houses are held regularly and
are attended by family members who share their experiences. Learn more

LANCASTER, PA PROGRESS HEALTHCARE FEBRUARY 24, 2013 21
There is a new breed of health care
cropping up in Lancaster County.
Its urgent care or quick care, a
type of heath care that spans the gap
between home care and the emergency
room, especially when your doctors
ofce isnt open.
Quick Care is an option when
your family physician is closed and
the situation isnt serious enough for
the emergency room, says Joanne
Eshelman, director of community
relations at Ephrata Community
Hospital.
Its also used by patients who might
not have a family doctor or
dont have a relationship
with a medical ofce.
When they have a medical
problem that doesnt warrant a
rush to the emergency room,
Quick Care can handle the less
serious things like stitches for
a cut or treatment for an ear
infection.
Quick Care is located
in New Holland, at 435
S. Kinzer Avenue. Hours
are Monday through
Friday from 4 to 9 p.m.,
Saturday 1 to 9 p.m. and
Sunday from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m.
People seem to understand
what conditions are appropriate
for Quick Care, says
Eshelman.
For chest pains, a serious
injury, or a life-threatening
condition, the emergency room
is the place to go. Minor cuts
and bruises or a cold will heal
with home care. For everything in
between, Quick Care and urgent care
facilities can provide care for injuries
and illness, such as the u, asthma
attacks, broken bones, cuts requiring
stitches, and other conditions.
Most of the quick care or urgent
care facilities are associated with local
hospitals like Ephrata Community
Hospital and Lancaster General,
says Eshelman. But there are also
for-prot urgent care centers run as
businesses.
Lancaster General Health Urgent
Care is located at 2118 Spring Valley
Road, near the LGH Health Campus.
Urgent Care is open Monday through
Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and
weekends from 8
a.m. to 9 p.m.
Urgent Care is
the convenient way
to see a doctor without an
appointment, seven days a
week. For minor burns that
require extra care, a possible
broken bone that needs an
x-ray, a sprain or cut that
requires treatment to ease
discomfort and prevent
further injury or infection,
Urgent Care can be the
answer.
Other illnesses and injuries include
u, sinus infections, bronchitis, skin
conditions, fractures, eye infections,
cuts, on-the-job injuries and more.
Lancaster General Healths Urgent
Care has received a three-year
accreditation from the American
Academy of Urgent Care Medicine.
The for-prot centers that offer
non-emergency health care include
the brand-new Patient First, which
opens this winter at 1650 Oregon Pike,
Lancaster, and MedExpress Urgent
Care Center at 4 Rohrerstown Road,
Lancaster.
Patient First is a national chain,
with a business approach
to treating routine
injuries and illness,
including primary
care physicians,
x-rays, lab testing,
prescription drugs
and occupational
health. There are
Patient First centers
in Delaware, Maryland,
Florida, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Virginia and West Virginia.
MedExpress Urgent Care is a
full-service walk-in clinic with a full
medical team that provides provide
fast, effective treatment for most
injuries and illnesses. MedExpress is
open every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Some patients prefer the quick care
of an urgent care facility, which will
typically cost less than emergency
room treatment. As one patient
notes, I was there less than an hour
and left feeling great about the care I
received.
Since no appointment is necessary
and a doctor is always on site, patients
can take comfort in knowing that care
is available when they need it. Of
course, most urgent care centers are
not open in the middle of the night.
So that high-risk allergic reaction at 1
a.m. or life-threatening asthma attack
at 3 a.m. will still require a trip to the
E.R. And when the situation could be
something as serious as a heart attack
or stroke, there is no time to waste.
A call to 911 and an ambulance is for
true medical emergencies, when life is
at stake.

takes his role in the area seriously.
He understands that clients have
choices of PT providers and makes it
his goal for his business to regularly
support and give back to the
community with opportunities
for student afliation, student
scholarships, educational seminars,
injury prevention programs and
food drives.
When Hershey meets with a
patient often their rst question to
him is, Will I have to live with this
pain the rest of my life? Hershey
and his staff are passionate about
healing through physical therapy
and value their ability to help their
patients get better and live pain free
lives.
Hershey is a Boomer and he
knows personally what it is like
to have physical issues that limit
activities. Like many Boomers he
bikes regularly to stay healthy. But
also like many Baby Boomers, he
has knee issues that he has to watch.
Hershey says a visit to a physical
therapist is often a great rst step for
an injured Baby Boomer to get on
the road to returning to a pain free
active lifestyle.
And, because of recent changes
to direct access regulations, no
doctor referral is needed to make
an appointment. Hershey says that
this is a cost-effective approach that
allows immediate access to therapy
during the time when conservative
management of injury works best.
However, if the condition warrants,
a visit to their family doctor will be
recommended.
Hershey says nothing is more
important than good health and his
team at Hershey Physical Therapy
are dedicated to helping all their
patients achieve that. If you dont
have good health, nothing in life is
enjoyable, said Hershey.

ELIZABETHTOWN
Located in historic
Lititz, Moravian Manor
truly is a community
within a community,
where residents nd
a genuine sense of
involvement in a unique
community for rewarding
retirement living.
As a leader among
retirement communities, we
provide attractive residences,
preeminent health care,
and supportive services to
more than 300 adults here at
Moravian Manor, reports CEO
David Swartley.
He adds that residents have
many opportunities to connect
with the community, through
annual events, continuing
education, interaction with
all age groups, and volunteer
services that allow residents
to share their talents and
experiences to give back to
the community.
The Manor offers a full array
of lifestyles that best meet
needs now and into the future,
ranging from the independence
of residential living in beautiful
townhomes, cottages, and
apartments, to individualized
personal care in Manor West,
specialized short-term or long-
term care in Moravian Manors
Health Center and structured
care for persons with memory
impairment in the Herrnhut
Community. There is also an
accredited child care center,
The Childrens Corner, that
offers professional care
for infants, toddlers and
preschoolers, with the unique
benets of intergenerational
experiences for residents
and children.
We believe that aging has
a fullling purpose in life and
that our societys elders have
enduring value to family and
community, says Swartley,
adding that Moravian Manor is
a member of Leading Age.
Established in 1975, Moravian
Manors history is rooted in the
early works of the Moravian
Church in Pennsylvania. In
the early 1970s, the Lititz
Moravian Church donated
22 acres in town to construct
the retirement community.
The Manor welcomed its rst
residents to the Moravian
Avenue Cottages in late 1974
and to Manor West Residential
Living Apartments (now
personal care) in January
1975. Since then Moravian
Manor has touched the lives
of thousands of people as a
people-to-people ministry, Their
guiding philosophy is based
on the mission of a not-for-
prot senior living community
offering a person-centered
approach to a full continuum
of services.
Currently, the Manor is in the
nal stages of completing a
12-unit townhome project.
Looking toward the future,
Moravian Manor purchased a
72 acre parcel of land several
years ago and is currently
working on a conceptual
plan for this new endeavor,
recently named The Warwick
Woodlands, A Moravian Manor
Community. More information
regarding this project will
be announced in the coming
months.

It may be one of the most beautiful views in all
of Lancaster County, with a panoramic vista of
patchwork farmland as far as the eye can see.
No wonder it is known as Fairmount Homes,
a warm, hospitable retirement community
dedicated to faith, family and community.
Located at 333 Wheat Ridge Drive near
Ephrata, Fairmount Homes was founded in 1968.
It is comprised of 52 acres in rural West Earl
Township, offering a multi-faceted continuing
care retirement community with many options.
At Fairmount Homes, there are 114 licensed

12 residential living residences, 58 apartments and
41 cottages.
Our retirement community is a Five Star
rated facility, marking our 45th year, with plans
to expand our cottage community, says Jerry D.
Lile, President/CEO of Fairmount, who goes on
to explain that Fairmount Homes is a non-prot,
church-related facility that is governed by a nine-
member board from the Weaverland Conference
of the Old Order Mennonite church.
Fairmount Homes has a unique charm,
with a variety of living options depending on
your needs. The cottage community consists
of attractive cottage units, while Fairmounts
apartment community includes apartments
located at Crest View and Farm Crest, both
with breathtaking views of the valley. Fairmount
Homes also provides personal care at its Wheat
Ridge Campus and Farm Crest Campus in a
home-like setting.
At Fairmount Homes, their dedicated staff
of licensed nurses and certied aides provide
health care that focuses on the physical, spiritual
and psychological needs of residents. A special
care area for persons with memory loss is
designed to serve the health and safety needs of
residents. There are also options for short-term
rehabilitation stays after surgery, injury or illness.
Fairmount is licensed for Medicare and Medicaid.

Resident Care Aides (RCA) are

including home healthcare and

Upon admission, families
complete a six-page questionnaire
about the residents life story.
The more they can share about
their loved one, the better we can
care for them, notes Waltman.
Knowing a retired car dealers
brand preferences can turn into
a trivia game question: What do
Olds, Chevy, and Mercedes have
in common?
Knowing that someone always
vacationed in the Outer Banks
can prompt a caregiver to ask for
travel advice.
Its all about treating people
with dignity and respect, going
to where they are, Waltman
emphasizes.
One resident, a lifelong
gardener, gravitated to the
owerbeds. Another woman likes
to tidy up everything in sight and
accompany staff on their rounds.
A World War II veteran always
wears his ballcap with the Air
Force insignia and China-Burma-

Waltman facilitates a dementia

reminds them of three questions
to always keep in mind: How can
I help them have a better day?
How can I connect with them?
and How can I make them smile?

kicked off 2013
with a new look,

Villages promise to strive for
excellence by offering a choice of
quality services so individuals can
enjoy the highest quality of life.
Seemingly minute details have
just as much impact on quality of
life as do the communitys culture
and construction. The current
construction of up to 100 new
cottages offers this lifestyle to
more people.
A revision of the monthly
events calendar offers residents
more choices. We combined two

Weve seen attendance increase,
and were constantly tweaking
our programming based on
residents feedback.
The Grand Lodge Hall Dining

restaurants that underwent
renovations to enhance residents
dining experiences. The buffet
stations add more fun, variety
and exibility to the menu.
They stir up the daily routine
and give residents something to
anticipate and look forward to,
Daphne Gulick, senior director of

Larger living rooms promote
the gathering of friends,
while less obtrusive care bases
provide staff oversight. Its a
beautiful new environment
and a pleasant place to be, Jo
Hart, nurse manager, said. Ive
heard nothing but positives from
residents and their families.
Country kitchens renew
residents dining experiences.
Meal times in the health care
center provide opportunities for
staff to socialize with residents.
Instead of pre-selecting their
meals, residents choose one of
two entres, prepared when they
order. Because the residents
are eating so well, the need
for supplements has decreased
signicantly, Ricky Schies, nurse
manager, said.
Masonic Village also has
updated its website and added
a blog so people can learn
about its many in-house and
community services, which are
open to everyone.
As we help people discover
what it means to enjoy life their

as we adapt to stay ahead of
evolving needs, every decision we
make is rooted in our Mission of
Love.

LANCO Social Services
Network has taken the words of
Mother Teresa to heart as it strives
to meet the humanitarian needs
of people in the eastern Lancaster
County community.
After three years of planning, the pro-active faith-
based non-prot organization ofcially opened its
doors late January 2012 at 441 S. Kinzer Avenue,
New Holland.
A social services network has been needed for a
long time in the Elanco area. Our goal is to provide
how-to assistance to help people get back on their
feet, said Jim Cox, ESSN board of directors chair.
Joan Yunginger, ESSN director, agreed stating
the organization seeks to serve as an education and
resource center to help people become self-sufcient,
productive, and accountable.
A key accomplishment in the organizations rst
year was Yungingers ability to develop essential
partnerships with social service agencies such as
United Way, Tabor Community Services, and Central
Pennsylvania Food Bank to meet the needs of the
local community.
Being able to assess a community clients need
and refer them to the appropriate agency to receive
assistance is work Yunginger, a former therapeutic
support staff employee of Philhaven, considers
a calling.
Never worry about numbers.
Help one person at a time,
and always start with the person
nearest you.

Currently affordable housing and
employment dominate the needs list
followed by transportation. Food
is another necessity and ESSN has
assumed responsibility to oversee
the New Holland Area Food Bank at
the Trinity Lutheran Church, 221 E.
Main St.
One project Cox said the
organization is pleased to be involved
with is the Power Packs Project
that provides weekend food and
nutritional information to families in
the school district. The organization
works with Elanco School District
and Cross Connection Youth
Ministries, New Holland, to identify
student needs.
Funding for ESSN comes from the
generosity of churches, community
organizations, local government,
businesses, and individuals.
Its truly amazing how willing
people are to help others in the
community, said Cox.
Donations for 2012 totaled close to
$90,000 with operating costs $78,000.
The budget for 2013 is projected to
increase 35 percent to support costs
for Helping Hands/Community
Care. These include assistance for
clients for a variety of needs such
as: prescriptions, rent, auto repair,
counseling, fuel, rent, etc.
More than 60 community
volunteers are part of the ESSN
Ambassadors Network who serve
on committees and subcommittees of
the organizations board of directors.
Committees include: nance,
program/services, governance,
development, marketing, prayer and
poverty.
We believe the powerful, positive
and passionate response from the
community to contribute to ESSN
indicates how the Holy Spirit is
truly working in our faith-based
organization, said Cox.
The idea for the social services
network originated from the
ELANCO Ministerium consisting
of 18 actively-involved churches in
the Eastern Lancaster County School
District. For years, the Ministerium
coordinated social service needs for
clients in the Elanco community.
As needs grew, especially after the
economic downfall, we had difculty
addressing the causes behind the
needs of our clients. That led to
the development of ESSN, said
Nancie Weaver, former Ministerium
secretary and social coordinator.
Cox credited Garden Spot Village,
owner of the 2,000-square-foot,
two-story stucco farm house, where
the ESSN ofce is located, for their
generosity in giving the organization
a two-year lease at no cost.
Upward Call Counseling Services
has partnered with ESSN and shares
space at the location.
It is Gods work we are doing in
our community, said Cox with a
smile.

alking is great
exercise. Its
gentle, low-
impact, simple
and is a good
way to ease
into a more
healthy lifestyle and better tness.
Its also an easy form of exercise
thats accessible to everybody, and
nearly everyone can do it. You
dont have to belong to a gym, you
can get exercise by walking around
your neighborhood, at your ofce
complex over lunch, or on many of
the walking paths or trails in
local parks.
Information from the Mayo Clinic
indicates that brisk walking on a
regular basis, like other exercise, can
help you achieve a number of health
benets including improving your
mood, managing your weight, and
lowering blood pressure. It can also
lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol (the bad cholesterol)
and raise high-density lipoprotein
(HDL) cholesterol (the good
cholesterol). If you have medical
issues, a recent injury or surgery,
you may want to consult with your
doctor before starting a
walking program.
Walking doesnt require special
gear. However shoes should have
proper arch support, a rm heel
and thick exible soles to cushion
your feet and absorb shock. Dress in
loose-tting comfortable clothing.
If youll be walking outdoors be
sure to dress for the weather. Layers,
warm gloves and a hat can help on
cold, windy days. If youre walking
on a sunny, hot, humid day, be sure
to take water with you. If youre
walking outdoors at night or at
dusk, be sure to wear light colored
or bright clothing or something with
reective tape so motorists can see
you. Using a ashlight also helps
make you visible to motorists.
If possible, walk on a sidewalk.
If there is no sidewalk, walk facing
trafc. When crossing a street, cross
at a crosswalk or intersection if
possible, and obey trafc signals.
Also be alert for vehicles along the
road or at an intersection.
Walking is great exercise, but its
important to use correct posture
and movements. Walk with smooth
movements and with your head held
high and arms swinging in a natural
motion. Start the walking session
by warming up for ve minutes by
walking slowly or walking in place,
then stretch your muscles before
starting out.
If youre new to a walking
program, you may want to start
out easy, going a shorter distance
(perhaps walking for 10 to 15
minutes) a few times a week and
then gradually increasing to 30 to
60 minutes daily. If youre walking
along a road, you can drive your
route and check your odometer
readings, or you can invest in a
pedometer to tell you how many
steps and how far youve walked.
If you can, walk with a partner or
group. It not only helps to pass
the time, but it can help keep you
motivated.
Cool down after walking
by walking slowly for about
ve minutes.
Walking trails may be found
in a number of municipal
parks or perhaps in your own
development. The state Department
of Conservation and Natural
Resources (DCNR)s website www.
ExplorePATrails.com can serve as
a resource to locate some of the
designated walking or hiking trails
throughout the state. There are more
than 30 listed for Lancaster County
and the range from the 0.3-mile
Northwest Corridor Linear Park
between Harrisburg Ave. and Lemon
St. in Lancaster, and the 137.7-mile
Horse-Shoe Trail that spans Berks,
Chester, Dauphin, Lancaster and
Lebanon Counties.
Theres a link for each trail that
provides details such as a map and
description. Some of the trails such
as the 2.9-mile Conoy Canal Trail
include historical features such as
stonework of former bridges and
locks, and some of the trails such
as the 3-mile long Trout Run Trail
System and the 1.3-mile Conestoga
Greenway Trail are beside a stream
or include water. Other trails such
as the 2.3-mile Lancaster Junction
Recreation Trail are converted
sections of rail lines.
Walking can be added to your
daily routine in other ways such as
taking the steps instead of an elevator
or escalator or parking a bit father
away from a store or the mall.

Steve Temple of the youth baseball
association said the event was their third
annual tournament to raise money for
people with cancer. Called the Danielle
DeLarso Tournament after the rst
recipient of the proceeds, 2012s event
was to raise money for ve-year-old
Michael Landis.
Although the event did not yield the
$9,000 that a previous tournament had,
the young athletes still managed to raise
$5,000 for Landis.
There had been no predictions of
anything but rain for the area, according
to township manager Dennis Groff.
So, he was surprised when township
secretary Sally Riehl called him to say
there was destruction at the municipal
park. Groff appreciated that notice, since
the rst ofcial report of the tornado
came eight minutes after it happened.
Groff and his family quickly headed to
the park.
Parent Joe Flaim was putting
equipment away in a shed when the
winds picked up. He crawled under
a tractor for protection. He was later
able to see downed wires and kept an
emergency vehicle from running into
them in the total darkness.
The tournament drew so many teams
that a eld in New Holland also had to
be used. That is where organizer Steve
Temple was when he got the call. Like
Groff and many other Paradise Township
residents, he headed for the park.
Temple said a great disaster was
avoided when the roof of a horse tie
shelter, that some mistakenly call a
pavilion, collapsed with players and
parents inside. Fortunately, most of the
roofs weight was taken by three trucks
parked outside.
Five dads in the horse-tie shelter kept
the kids low to the ground, he said,
and formed a huddle over them for
protection. Some of those dads suffered
broken bones or needed stitches. The
children had less severe injuries, Temple
said, giving credit to the ve parents.
Four moms working the concession
stand were relieved their children
happened to be at the stand, Temple said,
and brought them inside the building for
safety.
Groff said he was amazed at how
township residents worked together
when he arrived at the scene. Community
members kept talking to those who were
hurt, reassuring them that help was on
the way. A man arriving in a forklift
was a welcoming sight. He helped move
debris that stood in the way of getting
emergency vehicles to those who were
hurt.
Since the unnished tournament did
not raise what the players had hoped,
another community youth team pitched
in. A community football program that
had a fundraiser planned the next day
offered to let the baseball players join
in. The team, although shaken the night
before, was able to sell chicken barbecue
and t-shirts to make up some of the funds
for Landis.
There was a lot of pulling together
Groff said. It was inspiring.

Community pulls together
A tornado that
ripped through
a Paradise

cancer brought
the entire
community
together in
October 2012.
Now the baseball
program is
signing up
players for the
2013 season.
I
t is, quite literally, a
blueprint for for the future.
Its called Blueprints: An
Integrated Water Resources
Plan for Lancaster
County, and it is a new
countywide water resources plan
that is the rst of its type
in Pennsylvania.
The plan is unique in that it
is targeted to all kinds of water
users, including sewer authorities,
developers and PennDOT, in an
effort to establish common ground
and collaborate on projects.
A key strategy in the plan is
green infrastructure, which
includes extensive plantings of trees
to increase the countys natural
canopy, which helps to lter water
supplies. Such measures have
multiple benets, says Mary Gattis-
Schell, senior countywide planner
for the Lancaster County Planning
Commission and the
plans author.
Blueprints looks at the
water element of the countys
comprehensive plan, and promotes
watershed-based integrated
water resources planning and
management. It is designed to
protect, conserve, and improve
water resources in Lancaster
County.
This plan is intended to change
the way we think about water
resources, says Gattis-Schell,
adding that the Blueprints plan has
just three strategies and a total of 14
actions within
those strategies.
As she notes, the key strategies
relate to stormwater management,
water and sewer, and quality and
quantity of water resources.The
plan takes a holistic approach
to protecting, conserving, and
improving its water supply, creating
an understanding about the
interrelationship of many factors.
One of the most important
aspects of the Blueprints plan
involves collaboration, said Gattis-
Schell. Within the three strategies,
improving impaired streams,
enhancing the water and sewage
infrastructure, preserving farmland,
accommodating growth, and
focusing on water quality are key
aspects of - the plan.
There are more than 824 miles
of impaired streams in Lancaster
County, says Gattis-Schell.
She emphasizes that the proposed
plan is meant to protect the
future of the countys sustainable
water supply well into the future.
The Blueprints plan calls for an
increased investment in green
infrastructure for stormwater
management and water quality
improvement, a concept which was
introduced in Greenscapes, the
green infrastructure
element of the county
comprehensive plan.
~ Laura Knowles
Blueprints envisions
a future in which a
sustainable supply
of clean water is
available to support a
growing population,
a strong economy,
recreational uses,
ecological needs, and
the overall health of
local waterways and
the Chesapeake Bay

A new
initiative is
focused on
protecting one
of Lancaster
Countys most
precious assets:
its water.

agricultural equipment, including
a full line of tractors, hay and
forage equipment, harvesting, crop
production and material handling
equipment. These products are

dealers and distributors throughout
the world.
New Holland traces its roots to
1895 when a two-man machinery
repair shop was founded in New
Holland by master machinist and
inventor Abe Zimmerman. Through
the years, New Holland became
known as the leader in agriculture
technology, pioneering many rsts:
the rst PTO-powered baler, the
rst mower-conditioner, the rst
self-propelled baler, the rst bale
thrower, the rst self-propelled
forage harvester, the rst forage
harvester metal detector. All of these
inventions, and more, came from
New Holland.
That tradition of innovation
continues today. New Holland
Agriculture was recently honored
with six prestigious AE50 Awards by
the American Society of Agricultural
and Biological Engineers (ASABE),
presented for the 50 most innovative
product ideas to enter the market in
2012. They honor new product ideas
that are ranked highest in innovation,
signicant engineering advancement,
and impact on the market served.
The 340-acre New Holland
campus along Route 23 includes
a 150-acre test farm and a 700,000
sq. ft. manufacturing facility, and
is home to the headquarters of the
New Holland Agriculture brand,
as well as the global center of
Excellence for Hay and Forage.
At this site, the expertise of state-
of-the-art engineering, research
and development, marketing and
manufacturing operations come
together to produce the worlds
number one haytools. Today,
products built in New Holland are
exported to 45 countries around
the world; the plant produces 30
different models of round balers,
square balers, pull-type forage
harvesters and other haytools.

Welcoming you to
48 FEBRUARY 24, 2013 HOME PROGRESS LANCASTER, PA
Y
ou remember
them, even if
youve never
lived in one.
Those mega-
monster homes
of the 1990s
and early 2000s with their carriage
house garages, their 20-foot-high
great rooms, their media rooms
(to accommodate the 62-inch at
screen television with stereo surround
sound, naturally), their kitchens with
more bells and whistles than Julia
Child would have ever needed and
bathrooms that would draw hisses of
envy from Cleopatra herself.
Some called such residences
McMansions, reecting a time
when ultra-large homes were
becoming as ubiquitous as fast food
outlets. While there will always be a
demand for luxurious amenities, the
era of the airport-terminal-size house
seems to have given way to a more
practical outlook in todays economy,
though it depends who you ask.
Those days are over with, as far
as I can see, notes Mark Simeral,
CEO of Simeral Construction Co.,
Lititz. The McMansions the
demand for that is nil.
Credit or blame an over-
inated housing market and an
economy which began tanking
around 2008.
Simeral, who founded his
company in 1987 with his wife,
Becky, has seen it all.
The company has built custom
homes as large as 7,500 to 8,700
square feet. In recent years, 6,000
square feet is a fairly large house for
us now, Mark Simeral says.
What Simeral Construction
has built at The Farm on Quarry
Road, near Lancasters Bent Creek
community, is more typical, with
something closer to 3,500 square
feet in the offering. These are still
not small homes, but they are not
boasting living rooms, to paraphrase
the movie classic Arthur, big
enough to accommodate a landing
airplane.
In some ways, Simeral sees that
as a good thing. Bigger, he says, isnt
always better.
Excesses are not good for the
economy, Simeral says, citing a story
hes heard about a 90,000-square-foot
monstrosity that was built not too
long ago in Florida.
Its sitting empty and unnished,
creating work for nobody and
providing shelter for no one.
Locally, builders of larger homes
can still rely on the old real estate
mantra: location, location, location.
Manheim Township is where
we sell the larger homes, says Tom
Costello, of East Petersburg-based
Costello Builders Inc. which Costello
founded 25 years ago with his
brother, Dave.
Most of our success is [building]
the home in the right spot, Tom
Costello says.
A Costello home can average 3,500
to 5,000 square feet. Costello notes
that about half of the companys
clients are move-up buyers looking
for larger quarters and there are signs
of optimism with news of the recent
expansion of The Hershey Company,
which promises to bring more
executive buyers to the area.
Still, weve had to nd ways to be
creative, Costello sums up. When it
comes to meeting client tastes these
days, its not so much the two-story
great room but [its] more the open
oor plan, that people want, says
Costello. That, along with nice
details such as quality trim, hardwood
oors and curb appeal, which
makes a home exterior attractive to
the eye.
And theres an alternative to those
who still seek space, but just not so
much of it. Its a location usually not
associated with copious residential
square footage: downtown Lancaster.
Marilyn Berger, of Prudential
Berger Real Estate, is a realtor
who specializes in large suburban
properties. But she has a passion for
city living, and her rm is active in
developing and marketing Northgate,
a condominium complex at North
Queen and Lemon streets which
incorporates a renovated warehouse
and several renewed historic
townhouses.
I think theres been resurgence
of people who want to come into
the city, Berger says. Properties at
Northgate range from 2,000 square
feet for a townhouse to a generous
4,400-square-foot unit in the
warehouse.
The latter might prove a happy
medium for those who want space
without waste. Not to mention the
fact theres no huge yard to maintain.
That alone might be an incentive to
leave the days of the McMansion
behind.
At the end of the day, Berger says,
you can close the door.

HOUSING TRENDS FOR 2013
LANCASTER, PA PROGRESS HOME FEBRUARY 24, 2013 49
Every one of us has
a mess somewhere
in our home. And
people are so busy
they may not have
the time to organize.
Thats where we
come in we work
with people to sort
through whats
accumulated and
determine what to
do with it,
Todd Sweet,
co-founder of Clutter Stoppers
He explained that he and partner
Bob Wilder joined together in 2004 to
create Keystone In-Home Care Inc.,
which provides non-medical daily
living services to seniors and people
with disabilities. Sweet said that it
became apparent that organizing
and managing clutter was a service
that could be utilized by a broader
base of customers, so that part of the
company was spun-off in 2010.
Clutter Stoppers will work with a
specic area or room of the home
garage, basement, attic, shed, kitchen,
bathroom or even organizing
closets and assisting with seasonal
wardrobe changes. Like our in-
home care division, we continue to
help people live a better life; we just
do it differently. Because of the skills
we developed in the other part of our
business, we offer compassionate,
individualized service, Sweet said.
He said that the company is most
often called in because of an event in
a clients life that event could be a
move to another home or downsizing
to another home or retirement
community; the homeowner realizes
that theres too much clutter for him
or her to sort through; or a family
needs help going through a deceaseds
home or belongings.
The idea of working through the
accumulated items can sometimes be
overwhelming sometimes people
dont have any idea where to start,
but we do, said Rich Wilson, one of
Clutter Stoppers associates.
Sweet said that people are
sometimes a bit apprehensive or
embarrassed, when the company
visits their home. Theyve
accumulated all of these items and
think that well just automatically
toss every one of them. Thats not
what we do. Were non-judgmental,
and we work side-by-side with the
client as we go through the items to
determine their nal disposition,
Sweet said.
Unwanted items are sorted into
piles bound for an auction house,
consignment shop, or to be donated
to community organizations. The
company has established a network
of consignment shops and auction
houses. We try not to throw
anything away and, if possible, we try
to protably dispose of their items.
Working with a client and sorting
through items can be like a treasure
hunt, Wilson said.
The Clutter Stoppers staff works
with clients to establish systems to
keep items organized, and clients
are taught basic organization skills.
But sometimes a hectic schedule and
the hustle and bustle of daily living
can interfere with even the best of
intentions, so Clutter Stoppers offers
a monthly service to help maintain
organization.
Clutter Stoppers also offers its
services to businesses. Sweet said that
Clutter Stoppers most often works
with small businesses. The services
focus putting processes in place to
eliminate duplication of work among
staff members, le organization, or
analyzing tasks to determine more
efcient ways of doing things. Were
the facilitators of change. We help the
business owner understand how the
company can be more organized.
Although Clutter Stoppers
currently serves central Pennsylvania,
Sweet is in the process of franchising
the concept. Were going to reach
out to surrounding areas, but I want
to ensure that all of our franchises
focus on providing compassionate,
individual attention, he said.

Pests like mice, ants, eas, spiders
and termites can be a nuisance and/
or health hazard when they invade a
home or business. J.C. Ehrlich can
help control these and other pests.
Founded in 1928 in Reading by Julius
C. Ehrlich, the company, which
became part of the Rentokil family
of brands in 2006, has 45 ofces
serving the Mid-Atlantic states. And
it continues to serve its rst customer,
a Reading area department store.
(Company representatives said they
are not permitted to divulge names
of customers.)
Ehrlichs solid reputation is based
on a commitment to providing top-
notch service; its work is guaranteed.
The average experience of technicians
is 8.7 years, and each technician is
individually licensed. Technicians
attend training sessions to keep
them up-to-date. Ehrlich also has its
own lab and most of the products
that are used to control pests are
environmentally-friendly as well as
friendly to kids and pets.
Safety is our number one priority.
We would not use any product on a
customers home that we would not
use on our own homes. After all we
are parents and have pets, too. We also
do some work with schools, and you
have to be really cautious when doing
that we dont treat while students
are there, explained Dennis Geib,
manager of Ehrlichs Lancaster ofce.
Geib can speak from experience. He
started his career with Ehrlich as a
technician 27 years ago.
He said that due to information
available online, todays customers
are more educated about pests. They
often call and tell us exactly what
type of pest they have. For those who
arent sure, we encourage them to
collect a sample and bring it in, and
well help them identify it, Geib said.
Ehrlichs Lancaster ofce recently
relocated and is now at 360 Steel
Way (behind the Red Rose Commons
Shopping Center). To help customers
identify pests, a display case in the
ofce contains examples of the more
common pests.
One of the pests that the company
has gotten an increasing amount of
calls about are stink bugs which hail
from Asia and are relatively new to
our area. Geib said that calls about
stink bugs are weather-dependent,
and there are two times of the year
when theyre more prevalent in
the spring when theyre emerging
from the warm places in homes where
theyve been hibernating (insulated
walls, light ttings and under
oorboards); and as the weather cools
in the fall, when theyre seeking those
warmer places.
A lot of times theyre in the elds,
and when the elds are harvested in
the fall, they have to nd a new home.
Stink bugs are small; they can get in
anywhere, and theyre good yers,
Geib said. He added that Ehrlich can
not only treat the outside of a home,
including behind shutters, along eaves
and lighting, but will also work with
property owners to identify entry
points around the home and work
with the owner to eliminate them.
Geib said that while stink bugs
were a big issue in 2010, they were
less so in 2012. Last year, he said that
bed bugs became a nightmare across
the country.
They are easily spread and can be
difcult to treat, so the quicker you
can get on the problem, the better it
is. Its important to know the signs
that theres an issue, he said.
These pests usually enter a
property carried on clothing, luggage
or furniture. Ehrlichs website
indicates that the most common
source of bed bugs is to stay at a hotel
with an infestation. They have been
know to hitchhike and often their
eggs get into clothing or suitcases
and are then transported home. Bed
bugs may hide in cracks or crevices
in a bedroom or bed frame, behind
furniture surrounding the bed or
where the wall meets the oor during
the day. They are nocturnal and are
lured from their hiding spots at night
by the warmth of our bodies and
carbon dioxide in our breath as we
sleep. Symptoms of their bites vary
between individuals, however, small
droplets of blood on the sheets may
indicate their presence.
He said that Ehrlich has developed
a heat treatment method to effectively
eliminate bed bugs and their eggs.
Additionally the company works
to educate the hospitality industry,
colleges and retirement community
staff about bed bugs.
In addition to providing pest
control by technicians, Ehrlich will
help provide some D-I-Y tips. If we
can tell a customer how to treat a pest,
we will. We do sell certain products
over-the-counter and will walk people
through using them, Geib said.

Felpel said Generally speaking,
most mortgage companies either
offer low rates and poor customer
service or merely average interest
rates comparatively. I brought
Gold Star to Central PA to offer
our thousands of past customers
the best of all worlds and I believe
we have done that.
They have also teamed with

W
hen you
sit down
to an ice
cream
sundae,
indulge in
a gourmet
chocolate, spread jam on toast, or
even cross a bridge, you might be
surprised to know that some of these
products were made right here in
Lancaster County.
From companies like Alumax
to Turkey Hill, Armstrong World
Industries to Wilbur Chocolate,
Kitchen Kettle Village to High Steel,
R.R. Donelley to Clair Brothers,
Lancaster County makes products
that include aluminum, ice cream,
furniture, ooring, chocolate, jams,
relishes, steel, printing, sound
systems and kitchen cabinetry.
Of course, Lancaster County
may be best known for producing
food, with elds of crops like wheat,
corn, soybeans and more. Dairy
farms with cows and goats are in
abundance, along with farms that
raise animals for food. Farmers
markets like Lancasters Central
Market and many other small local
markets offer homegrown products
such as strawberries, tomatoes, corn,
potatoes, apples, peaches, pumpkins
and much more.
One Lancaster County company
that takes full advantage of the
areas abundance of fresh produce is
Kitchen Kettle Village in Intercourse.
The business was started in 1954,
when Bob and Pat Burnley purchased
a small jelly business and set up
operations in their two-car garage. A
village of shops now 42 of them
cropped up, along with production of
more than 80 original recipes of jams,
jellies, and relishes.
These products are shipped all
over the world, and include chow
chow, pickled beets, strawberry jam,
salsa, pickles, grilling sauce, syrups,
apple butter, and mustards. One of
the most popular products is red
pepper jam, which is served at the
local restaurant with cream cheese.
Lancasters dairy farms provide
the ideal resource for Turkey Hills
full line of dairy products, including
milk, egg nog, ice cream and frozen
desserts. In fact, Turkey Hill Dairy is
the fth largest-selling premium ice
cream brand and one of the leading
refrigerated iced tea brands in the
United States. A few of the most
popular products include premium
ice cream, frozen yogurt, ice cream
cakes, sundae cones, iced tea, fruit
drinks, egg nog and puried drinking
water.
Turkey Hill Dairy promotes itself
as Lancasters homegrown company,
now a third-generation, family-run
dairy selling products nationwide all
along the East Coast from Maine to
Florida and as far west as Oregon,
Washington and Alaska.
In Lititz, Wilbur Chocolate
also utilizes the dairy resources
of Lancaster County to make
chocolate. Wilburs products are
used in many of the top premium
confectionary products, including
gourmet chocolates, frozen treats,
baked goods and beverages. Wilbur
is famous for its own Wilbur Bud, a
drop-like chocolate available in milk
or semi-sweet chocolate.
The history of Wilbur Chocolate
dates back to 1884 when Henry
Oscar (H.O.) Wilbur split his

wo
kindred
spirits met, married,
and created a
gallery of Native
American items.
Denny and Tammy Calabrese
opened Spirit Hawk Gallery at 119
W. Main St., Leola, 20 years ago.
Items from their store not only are
worn by Lancaster Countians, but
have appeared in movies such as
Dances With Wolves.
Denny, from New England,
recalled an uncle by marriage
teaching him Native American craft
skills since he was a young child.
When Dennys dad made a friend
during World War II, he brought
him home afterward. The guest
ended up marrying into the family.
It was not until after his uncle had
passed away that Denny learned his
uncle had been a Native American
from Canada.
In those days, you did not talk
about that kind of thing, Denny
Calabrese said.
Tammy Calabrese is from
Lancaster County. She learned
jewelry-making skills and went to
a Rendezvous in New England.
A rendezvous is a re-enactment
of interactions of fur traders and
Native Americans.
The couple met at the
Rendezvous and married within
a year. They remained in New
England for their rst six years
together. The couple then moved
here to be closer to Tammys
family.
They started the gallery to
feature their own Native American
crafts, art and jewelry as well as
those made by other craftspeople.
Dream catchers are among the most
popular items sold at Spirit Hawk
Gallery.
On display, but not for sale, is
a hand-beaded headdress made of
animal skins that Denny used to
wear in Rendezvous.
Tammy makes her own silver
bracelets and beaded jewelry.
Other items carried include
Native American pottery,
moccasins, instruments, artwork,
beads, jewelry, ornaments and
turquoise estate jewelry. Many
items in the store are made
naturally, including a skin care line
made by Tammys sister, Taun.
The Calabreses trade with other
people involved in the Native
American arts, including a man
who supplies items such as Native
American arrows and leather bags
to Hollywood. Denny said he can
watch a movie and sometimes pick
out items he made.

Philadelphia confectionery business
into a hard candy division and a
chocolate manufacturing division.
The chocolate business was eventually
relocated to Lititz around 1900, owing
to the railroad and resources for dairy
products in Lancaster County.
Lancaster County is home to many
manufactured products, including
printing of many of the nations
upscale catalogs and other publications
at R.R. Donnelly. At Clair Brothers
in Lititz, work is underway to build
Rock Lititz, a combination of sound,
light and staging for the entertainment
industry. Conestoga Wood Specialties
manufactures cabinetry and cabinet
doors, which might just be in your
kitchen.
Then there is the big stuff, like steel
bridges and interchanges. Lancaster-
based High Steel Structures Inc. is one
of the largest fabricators of structural
steel in the United States. High Steel
fabricates bridge superstructure
components and heavy building girders,
and the company also offers bridge steel
erection and emergency bridge repair
services.
In 1970, High Steel provided the
steel for the Columbia-Wrightsville
bridge on Route 30. High also did
local projects like the Route 324 bridge
over Pequea Creek and the Sherman
Street bridge over I-83, as well as the
Maryland portion of the Woodrow
Wilson Bridge and the Virginia HOT
Lanes, both on the DC Beltway, and
the I-95/I-695 interchange on the east
side of the Baltimore Beltway. High
Steel was recently contracted to supply
the structural steel for the upcoming
Lititz Pike bridge replacement
over the Amtrak rails leading into
Lancaster City. And if you ever travel
to Rochester, N.Y., check out the
The Douglass Anthony bridge that
dramatically lights up Rochesters
skyline, or the impressive Lake
Champlain Bridge that joins two towns
in New York and Vermont.
When it comes to supporting
Lancaster Countys industry, it might
just take crossing a bridge or having a
chocolate ice cream sundae.

lthough hummus
has been part of
Egyptian, Greek
and other Middle
Eastern cuisine
for thousands
of years, it was
something not found in many
area grocery stores until the past
decade or so. Hummus, which has
the consistency of a dip, originated
in southwestern Asia and is
traditionally made using mashed
chickpeas.
Lancaster Hummus Company
by FreshaPeel Hummus has been
offering freshly-made gourmet,
artisanal hummus for more than
three years. Deborah Mitchell,
who co-founded the family-owned
business with her husband, Donald
Mitchell, and brother, Richard
LeBoon in 2009, said that it grew
out of another venture a
catering company.
Lancaster Hummus gradually
expanded its reach. Mitchell said
that although they no longer do
farmers markets in the county, the
product can be found in open-air
markets in Carlisle, Harrisburg,
Hershey and the Philadelphia area.
Originally two specialty grocers
Rhubarbs Market and Lemon
Street Market carried the product,
but now it can be found in a number
of local grocery stories including
Darrenkamps Food Market, Shady
Maple, and Stauffers of Kissel Hill.
It may also be found at Wegmans in
King of Prussia, and Websters Caf
and Bookstore, State College, and at
this years Pennsylvania Farm Show.
Mitchell said that the hummus
is produced from chickpeas grown
in Colorado and Washington (she
said that chickpeas are not grown
in Pennsylvania). Whats different
about our hummus is the type
of oil we use we work with a
cooperative in Erie that produces
non-GMO (genetically-modied
organism) expeller cold-pressed
canola oil, she said.
Additionally Lancaster
Hummus Co. does not use articial
preservatives or tahini, a paste
made from ground sesame seeds,
in its hummus. Mitchell said that
the company foregoes tahini, since
some people have a mild to severe
allergic reaction to it. The hummus
is available in a variety of avors
created from locally-sourced
ingredients.
The two top-sellers are lemon
kale and Tuscan garlic. Other avors
include pumpkin delight, chocolate
ganache and cranberry apple. For
those who like a bit of a kick
theres blazin buffalo and chipotle
black bean; a jalapeno avor joins the
list for summer.
We like being at the farmers
markets it allows us to meet our
customers and get feedback on our
products. We introduced pumpkin
delight in fall 2011 as a seasonal
avor, but people really enjoyed it,
so we decided to make it available
year-round, Mitchell said.
Her son, Sean Bruce II, is also
involved in the company and came
up with the idea to create the blazin
buffalo. He says that its a vegan
alternative to buffalo wings and is
great as a dip or spread or spread on
a wrap.
Mitchell said that some of the
avors can be used as a fruit dip
the pumpkin and cranberry apple
avors can be paired with apples
or used in place of jam on bagels
or croissants. Bruce said that the
chocolate ganache, which is dairy-
free and has zero grams of fat, is
great on crepes or wafes. Mitchell
added that it can also be used to frost
cupcakes
Other avors such as lemon kale
or Tuscan garlic can be used to cook
with. She said that lemon kale, which
has a crisp, mild taste, can be used
like mayo and is great in chicken
salad. Tuscan garlic can be used as
a dip with pita chips or spread on a
crusty bread and baked in the oven
for garlic bread.

ason Mundok
and Steve Carlson
see the arts both
as something
that enhances
Lancasters quality
of life and as
an economic
engine driving
a renaissance
for the
downtown area.
During the past
couple of years, the two Lancaster
residents have formed a business
partnership with a mission to
promote the arts and bring creative
people together so that more art will
be produced.
Mundok, a musician and
independent software consultant,
and Carlson, a teacher at the New
School of Lancaster, produce a
multimedia online magazine and
two experimental theatrical events
under the brand name of Wood
Stove House.
Mundok records and edits a
weekly online podcast, Around the
Wood Stove, in which he interviews
local singers, writers, actors,
directors and artists about events
happening in Lancaster, York
and Harrisburg.
One week, hell talk to Millersville
Universitys Ware Center director,
Harvey Owen, about some of the
centers planned events, and the
next hell interview representatives
of local theater companies about
upcoming productions.
Carlson, 43, and Mundok, 41,
supplement the podcast with a blog
they both write, which might be
about nonprot fundraising one
day and a new art exhibit at a local
gallery the next.
Wood Stove House started
ofcially as a business in 2012,
Mundok said, but we have been
doing creative projects since 2009. It
was a hobby.
My wife (artist Susanne
Mundok) and I started these house
concerts in 2009, he said, in which
regional musicians and touring bands
performed in a room in the
couples house.
They called them Wood Stove
House Concerts, Mundok said,
because theres a woodstove in the
place where the bands played, a
family room added onto the back of
the Mundoks house.
The Mundoks have organized
about a dozen such concerts around
the area in the past three years, and
eventually produced other concerts
to raise money for area nonprots.
Mundok had also begun
podcasting when Carlson asked him
if hed like to help bring a 15-year-
old experimental theater concept
to Lancaster.
In November 2011, with the help
of the Creative Works of Lancaster
theater troupe, Wood Stove House
produced its rst Lancasters 24-
Hour Plays event.
Based on a theater concept that
originated in New York in the mid-
1990s, the event showcases several
plays that are written, staged and
performed all in the space of
24 hours.
Carlson and Mundok produced
24-Hour Plays again this past
November, and plan to make it
an annual event. Dozens of local
actors, writers and directors have
participated.
During Lancasters citywide
ArtWalk event last spring, Wood
Stove House also produced Play
Grounds: Theater on Site, in which
three short plays were performed in
three outdoor spaces on Lemon and
Mulberry streets in Lancaster.
Wood Stove House also presented
CreativityCON in October, a
conference during which ve
speakers talked to attendees about
how to harness their creativity.
The two men have lots of ideas
for other programs. But now that
theyre business partners and are
guring out how to build their
brand, Carlson and Mudok have
decided Wood Stove House will
concentrate on projects that will
allow them to promote the arts and
make some money while doing so:
the podcast, blog, 24-Hour Plays and
Play Grounds.
Theyre looking for additional
sponsors and advertisers for all these
ventures and they keep an online
tip jar on their Web site through
which fans can support their work
through PayPal.
The important thing to both of
them, they said, is promoting the arts
and bringing creative people from
around the region together.
Mundok calls the arts scene
in Lancaster the core economic
foundation for revitalizing the
downtown part of the city.
I believe that the arts have
been the thing that has boosted this
downtown, thats gotten the energy
going, the energy that we all feel,
Mundok said.
Carlson said promoting the arts
helps draw the kind of people who
this community would like to attract,
and to create a community for
everyone whos already here.

That original premise evolved
from 2005 to 2009 into concierge
publishing. Lovell said that most
often the clients that use this service
are organizations, businesses or
individuals who wish to have a
keepsake type book published
with as many as 300 to 500 copies.
In this area of our work,
people dont come with a formal
manuscript, instead they turn up at
our door with boxes of photos and
memorabilia and an idea, Lovell
explained.
Lovell cited Conestoga Country
Club First 60 Years as an
example in this area. They had a lot
of historical photos that they wanted
to use to tell the history. We worked
closely with them on the project
restoring some of the photos so they
could be used in print and creating a
cover for the book, he said.
Another example of their work
in this area is a history of a private
shing club. Lovell said that the
book was published in two versions.
Both versions feature vintage images
from Orvis Catalogs and were
used by permission from Orvis.
The deluxe edition was published
with a Royal Coachman y tied
by internationally-recognized
sherman and y-tier Dick Talleur
incorporated into the cover. An
additional page was inserted
featuring his signature, a photo and
biographical information about him.
(The Royal Coachman is a type of y
that is used at the club during certain
times of the year.) This illustrates
our exibility and allowed us to
have different price points for our
clients,
Lovell said.
In 2009, LifeReloaded added
commercial, or royalty, publishing
to its offerings. Lovell said that
this type of publishing is what
most people think about when
they hear the term publishing an
author creates a manuscript, and
the publisher purchases it, edits
it, creates a book, sells it and pays
the author royalties. Our authors
are engaged in the publication of
their book. We work to market the
book through author appearances,
websites and social media, he said.
He added that in publishing the
book, the company works with local
vendors such as illustrators, and
printing for all books is done in
the US.
LifeReloaded has established
several imprints (brands) for
its various focus areas. Studio
Publishing features photographers
and artists such as the late
Constantine Kermes. American
Historical Publishing focuses on
history with books such as the trout
clubs book. American Literary
Publishing focuses on ction and
novels for young adults (tweens and
teens) and adults, while Squidgy
Press focuses on illustrated
childrens books.
One of American Literary
Publishings authors is Faith Reese
Martin. Her JMP history mystery
detective series for young adults
combine history and mystery.
So far there are two books in the
series White Doe in the Mist:
The Mystery of the Lost Colony
and Ghost Train to Freedom: An
Adventure on the Underground
Railroad. A third book in the series
will be published in April. (For
further information about the
JMP Mystery series, see page 64
in this publication.)
One of the Squidgy Press
authors is Valerie Lee Veltre. Her
book, Moo Kitty Finds a Home
is a Moms Choice Awards Gold
recipient. In addition to the story
about a cat who nds himself on his
own and in search of a new home,
the book also includes resources for
families and teachers such as benets
of adopting adult pets, tips to help
animals settle into a new family and
home, and discussion points to have
with children before heading to the
shelter. For information visit
www.mookittyndsahome.com.
Late last year, LifeReloaded
launched a new imprint, American
Lifestyles Publishing. Dining at the
White House, a book by former
White House chef John Moeller
with Lovell, will be published by
American Lifestyles in the fall.
Moeller founded State of Affairs
Catering, his Lancaster-based
specialty catering business, in 2005
after serving for 13 years as a chef
at the White House serving ofcial
functions and private meals for
the First Families of Presidents H.
W. Bush, President Clinton, and
President G.W. Bush. The book
includes anecdotes, images of White
House memorabilia, recipes and
more. For information visit
www.diningatthewhitehouse.com.
Lovell said that LifeReloaded and
its imprints have been accepted as
vendors by two of the major book
wholesalers Ingram, Baker &
Taylor. This means that the books
it publishes can be purchased by
individuals on online and in local
bookstores, but theyre also available
to libraries and major bookstores.

aith Reese Martins
career as an
elementary teacher
is the springboard for
her career as a historical
ction author. In her
JMP detective series she
combines history and
mystery; the main characters
are time-traveling teens Jinx
MacKenzie and Max Myers and
their talking animals Petey, a
Jack Russell Terrier, and Poppy,
a ginger-colored cat. I want
to make history come alive for
kids and help them along the
path to a lifelong enjoyment of
reading, she said.
Martin grew up in Lancaster County and
taught fourth and fth grade at Lampeter-
Strasburg for 30 years. Shes always loved
writing and wanted to write a book for
young adult readers. She retired from
teaching eight years ago, but said that she
had an idea for a book four years prior
to retirement.
I was teaching history to the kids,
and we were focusing on Englands Lost
Colony. I thought it would be great to take
that piece of history and somehow make
it interesting to the kids; if you can make
these people from history be real to the kids
they can make a connection some of the
best mysteries and adventures are found in
American history, Martin said.
That desire and premise led her to write
White Doe in the Mist: The Mystery of
the Lost Colony, which is set in the Outer
Banks, NC. This book, and her others,
bring together her love for nature and its
creatures, and her enjoyment of mystery
books.
When I visited the Outer Banks I was
amazed by all the history there including
English colonization and the Wright
brothers, both of which play a role in the
rst book, she explained.
Last year (2012) Ghost Train
to Freedom: An Adventure on the
Underground Railroad was published. In
this book Jinx and Max are called back in
time to the 1850s and during their journey
on the Underground Railroad, they meet
historical gures such as Harriet Tubman,
Canadian abolitionist Alex Ross, and Ellen
and William Craft, who escaped slavery
posing as a white gentleman and his servant.
Blackbeard and the Golden Goblet:
The Mystery of the Sunken Ships is due
out in April. Martin again uses the Outer
Banks as the setting. Although there are
many legends about Blackbeard, it is known
that one of his favorite anchorages was
at the southern end of Ocracoke Island
in a channel thats now known as Teachs
Hole (one of Blackbeards pseudonyms was
Edward Teach).
She said that when shes researching,
she nds things that just click like puzzle
pieces. I seek out really cool sites and
bring out the human element to make the
characters come alive.
Real people, real history, real adventure
captures the essence of her books, which
also have a local publishing connection.
Ghost Train to Freedom: An Adventure
on the Underground Railroad, White
Doe in the Mist: The Mystery of the
Lost Colony, and Blackbeard and the
Golden Goblet: The Mystery of the Sunken
Treasure Ships are part of the JMP Mystery
Series, which is published by American
Literary Publishing, an imprint (brand) of
LifeReloaded Specialty Publishing LLC,
Manheim. And Martin can sometimes be
found in the classroom not as a teacher,
but as a visiting author discussing her
books with intermediate and middle school
students.
