Harrisburg volunteers bake up some “Lasagna Love” for those in need

Midtown resident Kelsey Horn was looking for a way to help those in her community when an idea came to her in the form of lasagna.

Horn saw a Twitter post by Gisele Fetterman, the wife of John Fetterman, lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, about an organization she had recently gotten involved with—Lasagna Love.

The national organization urges volunteers to bake their take on the meaty, cheesy pasta dish to deliver to a family in need of food.

“A lot of folks are struggling right now,” Horn said. “This seemed like a really easy way to give back to the community.”

She instantly connected with Lasagna Love’s unique mission, saying that she was inspired to use her grandmother’s lasagna recipe—her favorite.

Horn applied to become a volunteer and, within a few days, was matched with her first family.

Lasagna Love pairs “lasagna mamas and papas”–the term for their volunteers–with neighbors from each person’s community.

Founder Rhiannon Menn, also of the blog “Good to Mama,” started Lasagna Love at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the website, she hoped this would be a way to support those who are struggling financially or emotionally. On average, Lasagna Love delivers 3,500 meals a week across the country.

Erica Leyder, regional leader for central PA and Baltimore, Md., got involved with the organization in October 2020. She said that there are currently 105 volunteers in this area and 36 in Harrisburg specifically.

Horn, one of those volunteers, recently made her first lasagna for a family, picking up ingredients at the Broad Street Market. She delivered it to a woman in her neighborhood in Midtown. She plans to deliver a meal with Lasagna Love once a month.

“Being able to help in any way I can is very gratifying,” Horn said.

For those who don’t have the ability to cook lasagnas, they can financially support someone else to make the meals. There are other volunteer options, as well, on Lasagna Love’s website.

“During COVID, it’s easy to get stuck in your bubble,” Horn said. “But it’s important to help people.”

Bob’s Art Blog: Art Party at the Civic Club

February 15, 2021 | by Bob MacGinnes

Abstracts by Bethany Nicholle will be part of a group show at the Civic Club of Harrisburg during 3rd in the Burg on Friday.

Alas, St. Valentine has plucked his bow till next year, and Mardi Gras is tomorrow, if it were being held. But take heart, revelers, 3rd in the Burg arrives this Friday.

At last count, 23 venues were slated to open for the day’s festivities, with one truly special event taking place at the Civic Club of Harrisburg from 5 to 9 p.m. Know this…You Are Invited. Due to extenuating circumstances caused by the pandemic, the evening’s festivities are limited to 25 visitors at a time for safety measures and everyone’s welfare.

The artists inside are well worth coming out to support. Live music will be provided by Ari De Leo featuring Winter Parks. Scrumptious food will be provided by Queen’s BBQ and Southern Cuisine. And there will be artists a-plenty. In addition, it is a BYOB. Civic Club President Marybeth Lehtimaki wants to ensure everyone’s safety with social distancing a priority even within the spacious layout of the venerable mansion, The Overlook. Local artist Reina Wooden coordinated the evening’s entertainment, food and music, as well as the roster of artists. The show could be suitably titled “Maestros of Midtown” as the artists assembled reads like a who’s who of local talent.

Artist Reina “R76” Wooden organized the event at the Civic Club.

Artist Bethany Nicholle will feature her adventurous abstract paintings, done in unique color combinations. Larry Washington, Jr.’s (Larry Lenzz) packs a wallop with a one-two photographic punch. Nora Carreras is a mixed media artist who specializes in recycling found objects to become dramatic totems as well as creating breathtaking paintings. Jonathan Frazier exhales more than plein air into his paintings and is a modern day Renaissance man. Zack Rudy and Garrick Dorsett are long-time friends as they comprise the HuckleBuckle Boys, brandishing art outside of the corral.

A painting by Grace Robinson

Jelani Splawn, aka Jelly the Photographer, will share some cool shots for sure, and Shawn Maykovich cuts a wide swath with grapevine galore. Ghost Bae, tattoo artist, puts her stamp on the scene, as does Grace Robinson’s “soul searching” studies and portraiture. Claudie Kenion’s Black Lives Matter masks and gear are made to Unite Central PA as part of his nonprofit. Chad E. Whitaker’s soft sculptures are soothing and serene. Beau MacGinnes expands his repertoire well beyond “Art in the Wild,” returning to his first love, photography. Charlie Feathers adds his stylized skill with skulls and sculptures. Hostess, Reina “R76” Wooden brings crowns fit for a king and queen with her paintings. Even the paparazzi will be there flashing bulbs, fast and furious, in the form of Mike Sutherland catching the night’s glamour, galvanizing guests in the moment candidly.

A work by Nora Carreras

This event has long been in the making, originally scheduled for December with promotional flyers printed in October by the Civic Club’s Ashley Winch. If the weather cooperates, especially in February, be prepared for a little wait. Bundle up, mask up, and if you happen to be a fan of Poe (like me), most assuredly “cask up,” even if what you are drinking is not amontillado. Masks are mandatory as is social distancing. Stay warm, be safe and have fun this Friday no matter where 3rd in the Burg finds you. The evening will be eclectic in the mix of art, electric in the music offered, extraordinary edibles and entertaining in the overall presentation at the Civic Club. Most of all, be civic-minded and civilized.

3^rd in the Burg takes place at numerous venues around Harrisburg, including at the Civic Club of Harrisburg, 612 N. Front St., this Friday, Feb. 19. For more information, visit the website.

One Lens: Sharing Our Common Views

“One Lens” is a photographic initiative and the vision of the first lady of Pennsylvania, Frances Wolf. Recognizing the bond that individuals share in unifying communities across the state, she encourages sharing their photographic narratives as a response to the pandemic. Out of this fervent desire grew her idea for this virtual photo exhibit. Entries for the exhibit are open to the public for submission to Pennsylvania residents who are at least 18 years of age. The photos submitted should be borne out of the timeframe encapsulating March 2020 to the present day. Photographs may be submitted from Feb. 8 through March 19, with the virtual photo exhibit opening on March 19. Pennsylvanians “have made great sacrifices throughout the year, but the determination, tenacity and love shared have been even greater,” she stated.

Burg Review: Hats off, heads off for Open Stage’s eerie “Tales from Sleepy Hollow”

February 12, 2021 | by Gina Napoli

Francesca Amendolia drives the creepy action in “Tales from Sleepy Hollow”

Just outside New York City lies Sleepy Hollow, the muse of Washington Irving’s short story about a sleepy town bewitched by a headless horseman who wanders the woods to chop off people’s heads. Locally, the cast of Open Stage dramatizes several spine-tingling stories within “Tales from Sleepy Hollow,” as adapted by Harrisburg’s own Sammi Leigh Melville.

Straight off one of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery’s headstones is Madame Van Tassel [Francesca Amendolia], a haunted woman whose sixth sense and intensity in her eyes feel palpable. We meet her around a glowing, crackling campfire, minus the unwelcoming characteristic of always blowing smoke in one direction (usually mine.) One by one, people join her around the fire to warm themselves. They stay a while, and then they “must leave and not be late,” with their comings and goings strangely dictated by Madame Van Tassel. She remains the constant around the fire, as if she is the gatekeeper to hell.

Like many campfire gatherings, everyone huddled together takes turns telling stories, one-upping each other with each recount. We hear four short stories: “Andre’s Tale,” “Eleanor’s Tale,” “Jacob’s Tale,” and “Madame’s Tale.”

The plots of the local folk tales are at the “everyman” level, easy to grasp legends to tell in the dark—ideal for a babysitting aunt to tell her niece and nephew in a living room fort with a flashlight to her chin, just before sending the little cherubs home. (Seriously, with a PG-rating, use your best judgment for your littles and viewers with PTSD.)

The straightforward, uncomplicated plots allow the more robust special effects to come to the forefront. If you were sitting on a log around Madame Van Tassel’s campfire, you would probably stare into the flames while imagining all the specters haunting your immediate surroundings, and not much more. But Open Stage’s backstage artists took risks. They twisted a combination of special effects with their own gravitational stage presence to birth ambient settings as additional characters coming to life.

“Settings” in that last sentence is intentionally plural. In “Andre’s Tale,” Andre [Nick Wasileski] zaps viewers into a documentary-style telling that looks straight out of the History Channel, complete with its own historian seated on antique furniture. “Eleanora’s Tale” is told more plainly [Rebekah Krumenacker] using paper dolls [by Gabriella DeCarli], like a suspenseful South Park without Cartman’s potty mouth. Jacob’s [Josh Miccio’s] portrayal of “Jacob’s Tale” was shot like a silent movie, complete with sepia film jumping tracks in a staccato manner. “Madame’s Tale” unleashes the Headless Horseman [Brad Barkdoll] through a trove of shadow puppets [by Karen Ruch], like being inside a rice paper zoopraxiscope.

The foreboding music [by Jonathan Zeppa] and cinematography [by Phillip Mann] interlaces throughout all the stories, setting the mood with black-and-white close-ups of shadowy figures, like crawling insects and vines choking trees.

Side note: not one masked actor. Directors Phillip Mann and Matthew Golden arranged the shots so that the actors were filmed individually and close up as they head-hop narrated, giving the illusion of the storytellers sitting in a semi-circle. This brilliant decision kept viewers undistracted from the action, and it kept all involved appropriately social distanced.

Mask or no mask, watching this play evokes that tingly childhood Halloween feeling—back when we collectively bobbed for apples, wore politically incorrect costumes, ate homemade popcorn balls out of our candy bags, and probably didn’t think twice about any of it. If you like haunted local folklore and scary stories to tell in the dark, then don’t miss this play.

“Tales from Sleepy Hollow” runs on weekends Feb. 12 to 28. Visit www.openstagehbg.com for details about tickets and watch parties through Open Stage’s online streaming program on YouTube and Facebook.

Harrisburg is purchasing a former M&T Bank building on N. 7^th Street to use as additional office space for city employees. They will renovate the building for use by the engineering and traffic departments, our reporting found.

Home sales in January were generally flat in the Harrisburg area, while price appreciation continued to be strong. Our online story has the specifics for Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry counties.

A Lancaster couple recounted their unique love story in a “Modern Love” essay for The New York Times.

This year has been one for the record books.

It’s also been a year when many people have turned to books—for escape and education, insights and information.

Residential sales flat, prices up in Harrisburg area in January

February 10, 2021 | by Lawrance Binda

This residential building in Midtown Harrisburg recently sold.

Home sales were generally flat in January in the Harrisburg area, though price appreciation continued to be strong.

For Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry counties, home sales totaled 502 units, a small decline from 515 units in the year-ago period, but the median sales price shot up to $194,700 versus $179,900 a year ago, according to the Greater Harrisburg Association of Realtors (GHAR).

Dauphin County saw a slight bump in sales, which totaled 240 homes versus 238 in January 2020. The median price increased to $174,900 from $169,900, GHAR said.

In Cumberland County, sales declined to 221 residential units versus 228 the prior year, but the median price rose to $224,950 from $195,450, GHAR stated.

Perry County had 29 home sales in January compared to 25 a year ago, as the median price increased substantially to $174,900 versus $141,500 in January 2020, according to GHAR.

Homes were also selling faster in January. The average days on the market dropped to 31 days compared to 42 days a year earlier, GHAR said.

Harrisburg will purchase the former M&T Bank building for use as new office space

February 9, 2021 | by Maddie Conley Gittens

The former M&T Bank will become Harrisburg city office space.

Harrisburg is set to expand its office footprint, adding a new building in Midtown for city workers.

At a virtual legislative session, City Council on Tuesday night unanimously voted to allow the city to purchase the former M&T Bank building on N. 7^th Street to transform into offices for its engineering and traffic departments.

“This is a space that is needed due to the requirement of additional space for the public works engineering department,” said council member Ben Allatt.

In November, council voted to reallocate 2020 funds to purchase the building for $375,000, which Mayor Eric Papenfuse touted as a good deal since it was appraised at $675,000.

Papenfuse said that the $300,000 reduction in purchase price constituted a donation by M&T to the city.

“We’re greatly thankful to M&T for their continued support,” he said.

The ATM machine currently at the building will remain on-site as part of a lease agreement with M&T Bank.

Papenfuse explained, at a council session in November, that, as part of PennDOT’s I-83 expansion project, part of the Department of Public Works building will be lost to eminent domain, requiring the traffic department to move. City Engineer Wayne Martin added that a growing public works department also necessitates more space.

The traffic department will likely share the building with the city’s engineering department, which is currently spread out among different office locations, Martin said. They will move many engineering employees out of the public safety building downtown, freeing up space for the community policing team, which is hiring for numerous new positions. Papenfuse said that this would also move them closer to Commissioner Thomas Carter’s office.

Renovations and remodels of the building are included in Harrisburg’s 2021 budget. It will likely cost around $192,000 for demolitions, renovations, HVAC replacement and security additions, among other items, Papenfuse said.

He estimated that the annual cost of utilities and maintenance for the building would be around $60,200.

Senior Deputy City Solicitor Tiffanie Baldock said that the city will close on the purchase of the building within a week.

House of Vegans restaurant in Harrisburg closes, starts crowdfunding with hopes of reopening

February 9, 2021 | by Maddie Conley Gittens

House of Vegans restaurant in Midtown Harrisburg has closed.

A relatively new restaurant that successfully got people excited about vegan food has tabled its operations–at least for now.

Due to financial challenges, owners of House of Vegan’s restaurant in Midtown Harrisburg have temporarily closed up shop.

“We are greatly saddened by having to close, but it’s necessary,” said Stefan Hawkins, who co-owns the restaurant with his partner Laquana Barber, in a text message. “We thank everyone who has supported us and been here since day one.”

In a press release on Tuesday, Hawkins said that House of Vegans may look for another location if they can raise enough money through a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign to help them get back up and running.

On Jan. 24, he created the GoFundMe page with the hopes of getting enough to reopen and install a grill. As of Tuesday, it had received $2,400.

House of Vegans opened at 1426 N. 3^rd St. in July 2020, stating that they were the city’s first Black-owned vegan restaurant. They specialized in vegan soul food—dairy-free mac and cheese, yams, soy drumsticks and their popular meat-free “Slap Burger.”

Hawkins said that they signed their lease before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but opened during it. Like many other businesses, he said that it took a toll on House of Vegans. According to Hawkins, business declined by 70% from November to January, making it difficult to order products, as well as pay bills and employees.

However, Hawkins just recently opened Good Brotha’s Book Café across the street from the restaurant. The coffee shop has a focus on African American literature and art. He said that the café may begin to carry some select House of Vegans food items.

“We want to continue to provide our customers with a great vegan dining experience,” Hawkins said.

For more information on House of Vegans, visit their Facebook page.

Hear more from Stefan Hawkins on TheBurg Podcast’s upcoming February episode, available this Friday, February 12. It’s an in-depth conversation about the motivation, along with the ups and downs, of becoming a Black-owned business owner.
