impact. We could combine our resources and focus our attention, our work and our dollars on
making an impact.
The Prosperity Indicators focus on six areas:
Community and Culture, Economic Engine, Education, Health & Safety, Physical Environment
and Well Being of People.
Both the Community and Culture and Health
and Safety areas saw no significant changes this
past year, Irwin-Bass says.
Generally, things are looking fine in those areas, she says. The only area that really indicated

The rural beauty of Lancaster County is undeniable, with its rolling pastures and farm fields.
Its no wonder that people travel from all over
the world to see the place the people of Lancaster
County call home.
With the development of Lancaster County,
the agricultural heritage of Lancaster County is
threatened. For every big box shopping center,
outlet mall, mega supermarket and industrial
center, land that may have once been farmland
has been changed forever.

Girls can be encouraged

needs to be done.
Rosemary does a lot of the bookkeeping and also helps with vision
oriented details. They launched
their business in July 2015.
We have completed two houses
and have four in production, in
various stages of construction,
Stoltzfus says.
Tiny home owners, he says, want
freedom of debt, freedom to travel,
freedom of location, having the option to pursue dreams versus working a thankless 9-to-5 job.
This is why we named our company Liberation Tiny Homes. Our
vision is to guide clients to a more
liberating lifestyle.
Its a lifestyle that the Stoltzfuses
envision for themselves someday
a small home in the country in the
future.
Tiny homes, he says, have definitely hit the mainstream and I
would think it has to level out at
some point as it is growing exponentially right now. I believe this trend
will probably continue for a few
years.
Stoltzfus predicts the mainstream
intrigue will drop off in the near future, but the true tiny house community will remain strong for years
to come.
This has been a slow-growing
community that started around 15
years ago and it was not until around
a year or two ago that it really started
picking up steam after TV networks
and news sources started reporting
stories on them, he says.
Tiny homes are most popular
among adventurous younger couples or singles under 30 without
children, or older people looking to
downsize and simplify their lives,
Stoltzfus says.
Stoltzfus says 55 people attended
an informational meeting he held
in January for anyone interested in
owning a tiny home.
Hes seen prices range from
$20,000 to $90,000, but he estimates
the average is between $40,000 and
$50,000.
According to thetinylife.com: The
typical American home is around
2,600 square feet, while the size of
tiny houses is between 100 and 400
square feet.
Intrigued by the idea of a tiny
home? Youll have to get rid of
things, be ruthless, says Stoltzfus.

Now, living in her roomy

Another new concept in
tiny home living is a granny

others are equipped like a

Dr. Mellingers life got a
half-page mention among
the biographical sketches of
Franklin Ellis History of
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The author noted Dr.
Mellinger had an exceptionally successful practice over
a 12-mile radius. After 40
years in the field, he was still
praised for responding with
alacrity to the summons of
his patients, and also superintends the cultivation of a
productive farm.
The same book reveals that
the Mellingers often housed
extended family at the property.
Today, 1300 Brenneman is
listed at 2.1 acres, with a second residence and two detached structures.
Assessments show the second residence, referred to in
the current real estate listing
as carriage house with in-law
quarters, was built in 1910. A
loft-style barn was added in
1916. A shed, still standing,
came in 1975.
In 2007, owners Robert and
Barbara Vanderplate sold the
property to Waste Management for $599,000 to save it
from condemnation.
The company plans to use
part of the land for landfill
space at some point in the
future. But the house itself
went back on the market in

The big interest today is in

which appear in numerous
newspapers and antiques

The newest homeowners
collect items from the 1950s
to the 1980s, and even items
produced later than that are
now becoming collectible,
Rinker says. And they dont
go in for extensive collections. Yesteryears collector
would spend years amassing
a thousand versions of some
collectible, say hatpins or
paperweights. Todays collectors are quite able to stop at
five and six items, enough to
make an eyecatching display,
and then they go on to collect
something else.
Rinker calls the new collectors the fun generation.

so much that whenever we moved I always asked
the Realtor if there was such a group around. In
Lancaster, the closest they could come was Welcome Wagon. I joined and did enjoy it, but it
wasnt the Newcomers group that meant so much
to me in Connecticut. So Newcomers of Lancaster was born.
In time, of course, we were no longer newcomers, so we added neighbors to the name. Good

Tyler Reppert takes a break from painting to enjoy some wine at Art and a Bottle in the Village Shoppes at Brighton, outside Lititz.
In the age of La Vie Boehme in 1900s Paris, artists were said to have fueled their creativity with
absinthe.
Nothing that wild happens at places such as

For 2015, the store held a

participants pledged to read
50 different types of books
over a year, for a prize drawing. The 2016 challenge is
now underway. Coming up
are Marchs Murder Mystery
Month and ABAs Independent Bookstore Day (Saturday, April 30).
The six partner/owners of
The Rabbit & the Dragonfly
count The Inklings as their
inspiration.
This group of 20th-century
British writers, including
J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis,
are represented on the bookstore shelves, along with other authors and genres. Most
books are used, with some
new works by local authors.
Owner Laurie Keener says
the stores blind date books
have been popular. For $3, a
reader gets a book whose title
is concealed, with a hint on
what its about.
Browsing through a bookstore, says Keener, gives a
reader the opportunity and
the ability to start a conversation with somebody about
your mutual love of books.
Owner Melissa Garland
likes handing off a good read
to somebody else, more likely
done with a book than an ereader. Youre passing on a
feeling, she says.
Garlands hope is that the
book makes its rounds and
then it eventually comes back
to a bookstore for somebody
else to buy.
