A Simple Singing By LESLIE GOULD
Reviewed by DORIS SIGG Amish Heartland Writer
A
bsorbed in her Amish way of life, Marie Bachman is jolted into considering alternative life styles when her mother (Mamm) sends her on holiday to Florida with her Aenti Suz. During this vacation time, her aunt recounts the story of their relative from generations earlier, Annie Bachman. Annie left her family and home, at around Marie’s age, to first tend to a pregnant sister-in-law and family and then to tending to sick, maimed and dying soldiers in Gettysburg. Her work and coincidental meeting with a field doctor is life-transforming. And so, Marie’s life, in the present day, becomes transformed with her vacation adventures. These included hanging out with the rebel son of the bishop back home, someone who she has been taken with since early adolescence. Her long-time friendship with a Mennonite farm hand, however, interferes with her perceptions of life ‘as it should be,” and Marie re-considers her own life path. A Simple Singing is the second in a series The Sisters of Lancaster County. Writer Leslie Gould has co-au-
thored two bestselling books and has been the author of numerous other novels. She holds an MFA in creative writing from Portland State University and has taught fiction writing.

THOSE C OMING to visit the iconic Amish Country in Berlin, Ohio, might not realize that, among the many businesses situated along the St. Rt. 62 corridor, sits a gem that was started in 1993. Sol’s in Berlin is Ohio’s largest arts and crafts mall with over 400 artisans and crafters, and they are gearing up for their 25th anniversary celebration this November. If you were looking for Sol's back in 1993 at the current location, you would have found a business called Stutzman & Son Motors. A used car dealership owned by Pete Stutzman. Pete's son, Junior, and his wife Susie, bought the business from Pete. After a few years, they decided to try something completely different. After a lot of hard work Sol's Exchange opened its doors with 30 hand crafters in '93. When asked if any crafters

have been with Sols since they opened 25 years ago, family member Jamie Swartzentruber says they still have crafters who have been with the business for over 20 years. Fast-forward to today and you will find Sol’s is made up of three large buildings where most shoppers spend
hours searching for just the right handmade craft or gift. There is a selection of home décor, gifts, candy and food items, paintings, woodworking, jewelry, leather goods, candles, and floral items, made by local vendors. You might find some of the Sol’s crafters showcasing their wares at local craft shows. But Sol’s In Berlin is

The locally owned businesses and the glimpse into the Amish community are what draws tourists and continues to help the development of Berlin.

a year-round craft show with inspiration around every corner of the store, according to family owner Jamie Swartzentruber. There are many local vendors including local Amish men and women that hand make items for the 400 unique booth spaces found throughout the 3 buildings. Even when you enter the parking lot, you can see the custom rockers and outdoor décor on display along the outside of the buildings. You may even find some customers relaxing in the rocking chairs. Sol’s, along with the majority of stores in Berlin, pride themselves in being locally owned and operated. The locally owned businesses and the glimpse into the Amish community are what draws tourists and continues to help the development of Berlin. “We also work together. We refer customers to other businesses they might be interested in visiting”, says Swartzentruber. This mindset, along with some new additions to Berlin, including the new Encore Hotel, the relocated and expanded Amish Country Theater, and some new retail businesses along Rt. 562, offer tourists more opportunity to enjoy what Berlin has to offer. Those looking for a short family getaway, a romantic getaway or a girlfriend getaway will find many options in and around the Berlin area including local wineries. If you want to spend time overnight and enjoy all the shopping, entertainment, and events Berlin has to offer, the fall is one of the best times to visit. 8

Amish, Mennonite & Apostolic Clothing
Story by DORIS SI G G Amish Heartland Writer
The Amish and the Mennonites both originate from the Anabaptist tradition. Starting with the Anabaptists, simple, practical clothing could be traced to European sumptuary laws that regulated extravagance and identified social status. “Amish clothing styles [also] encourage humility and separation from the world and are a practical expression of their faith.” Mennonites believe that being a citizen of Two Kingdoms requires
that you stand out in your appearance. The Amish especially put the emphasis on functionality in their clothing. “The Amish fashion styles are simple…. Clothing is made at home of plain fabrics and is primarily dark in color, including shades of purple, blue, wine, brown, grey and black. Lighter colors are used for younger children and summer shirts and dresses for adults in some groups.” Amish men typically wear black suits or black pants and a black vest. The pocketless, buttonless and collarless coats are fastened with hook and eye. The

pants have buttons instead of zippers. Instead of belts, suspenders are used. Straw hats are worn in the summertime and black felt hats are worn in the winter. Amish women wear different attire for church than they do around the house. Married women’s attire includes a black cape and apron for church with a plain colored dress underneath. A single woman will wear a white cape and apron for church, with the plain colored dress underneath. And while women are typically barefoot around the house, they wear black shoes and stockings for church. Amish dress code proscribes that women have their hair covered, and so they typically wear white prayer caps, “usually made of organza and stiffened with starch. In more traditional communities, the caps are constructed of softer, slightly starched fabric and are held on by strings tied under the chin. By contrast, more progressive sects allow women to wear crisply starched caps with no straps, or straps that may be left untied.” Married women wear dark bonnets over prayer caps, and sometimes younger girls wear colored prayer caps. Mennonite men often dress like English with plaid or patterned shirts and are allowed to wear belts. Mennonite women can wear plaid or flower prints. “Many Mennonite women do not have strings on their head coverings, and some wear veils instead of capstyle coverings.” Apostolic women dress modestly as well, with fulllength (below the knee) skirts and dresses. One distinction between them and the Amish and Mennonites is that women can wear pants outside of church. “Longer culottes pants are common casual attire for many Pentecostal women.” Simple wedding bands, wrist watches and barrettes/hair pins are

–From the Desk of Javon Miller– I Was A Stranger, And Ye Took Me In Submitted by Javon Miller | Amish Heartland Contributor
“…for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” HE B RE W S 1 3 : 5 - 6
HERE I SIT, ensconced in the metal bird. Seat belts fastened and secured as instructed. The plane slowly taxied away from the terminal. We sit, awaiting the control tower’s clearance. The flight attendants took position in the aisle and that all familiar script was started. The safety procedures to follow should any accident or misfortune assail the plane. We await that exhilarating moment. I always enjoy the feel of power emanating from a plane. I am strapped into my seat. The engines begin whining to a frenzied pitch. Suddenly the plane starts taxiing forward. As it picks up speed, I am thrust back into the depths of my seat cushion. I feel the throbbing of the engines through my seat. Every slight bump from the runway is felt. The engines reach a final desperation pitch, and 24
November
suddenly I feel that slight rise of the nose. Gone are the bumps, and now the plane vibrates and shakes from the strain of lifting. I watch those mighty wings, the only thing keeping us aloft. The turbulent air that shakes the plane also causes the wings to flutter up and down. I am reminded of the strength and engineering that is required to keep this people mover aloft. THUMP, I feel the landing gear retracting, and now we reach a smooth cruising altitude. Across the aisle sits a couple, whether married or newly met, was hard to tell. One could not help but notice them. The man was a tall, lanky raw-boned felloe with a loud nasal voice. He was obviously a runner, as he proudly sported his form-fitting running clothes. One would not even have had to see him to know of his
interest in running. All you had to do was sit within earshot. He was proudly, and loudly, regaling stories of his past experiences, times and triumphs to his companion. It was obvious that this man was highly esteemed for his prowess on the track or cross country, whatever it may have been, at least in his own mind. Finally, about half an hour into the flight, he quieted down for a nap. What a blessing. Meanwhile, I try to evaluate my seatmates. One is a middle-aged man, and the other a fit young twentyish fellow. The former is reading a Kindle; the latter, on his phone. I sit back to enjoy the ride. This flight is all of an hour and fifteen minutes, so we have barely started when the flight attendants come around with the carts. They wish to sustain our lives with the deluxe food offerings. A minute glass of drink and these huge bags of snacks or cookies that take about two bites to devour. Okay, I admit it is a gesture of goodwill on their part. I could well do without them, but it is just that the serving is so small, I have barely started, and it’s all over with. This father-son team traveled to Cleveland for a triathlon. They begin recouping the past days’ activities and results. This young man enjoys the challenge of the course. Unfortunately, his bicycle, more expensive than I would pay for my bike was stolen two weeks before the event. He had to borrow his brother’s bike and retrain himself with it. There was no money to buy a new one from his meager teacher’s salary. Of course, the conversation eventually leads to my being Amish. We end up discussing our shared faith in God. It is interesting to note that here we share 75 minutes of our life in an airplane, and we automatically end up sharing our faith. God’s love reaches out across the nation and unites His people. We have a Holmes County, Ohio, Amish man of German-Swiss and Irish descent, a Chinese-Mexican father and his GermanIrish-Mexican-Chinese son from San Diego, California, seated together. We share two common bonds; we are American, and, as Christians, claim the Lord as our Saviour. What an encouragement and blessing. We touch land in Atlanta, and I am instantly lost in a massive throng of humanity. I follow the signs through this unfamiliar place and find my baggage. I hustle out the ground level floor to the awaiting taxis. I give my address of destination and sit back to try and enjoy the ride. I have no idea who the driver is, and, should he desert me, I am in a place that I have never seen before. I sit in the back seat of a taxi, a first for me. Sure, we have “taxi drivers” in Holmes County, but they are familiar people and expect us to interact with
conversation. Here, I sit back and wait till we get there. I had to think of the story of a taxi client that got into the taxi and started towards its destination. They had just started off when he needed to tell the cabi something, He leaned forward and said, “Excuse me, Mr. Cabi.” He was cut short by a terrified scream from the driver. They pull over and the quaking driver gathers his wits about himself. He then turns and says, “Sorry about that. This is my first day. I spent the last several years driving a hearse for a funeral home.” I am whipped through traffic on four and five lane interstate highways, and after about half an hour, we start to get into the residential section. I am deposited at a curbside. I have no phone, and it is dark. I see the house where I am supposed to stay, an Air B &B. I have the code to access the garage and then the house. I enter the house via the codes; they actually worked And there, to my delight, is my smiling wife. I hit the shower, and we retire. The next morning it is off to a new experience. The star of the show is an African American woman. She is a bit scatter-brained. She had wheat grass juice for her morning wake-up call. There is the foam skimmed from the wheat grass juice. Someone suggests that this is a good face mask, a tonic for your skin. She takes it to heart, and it looks

"We share two common bonds; we are American, and, as Christians, claim the Lord as our Saviour. What an encouragement and blessing." absolutely phenomenal. She warns the class to remind her to wash before leaving class. Of course nobody remembers. But, did she learn her lesson, NO! Next morning, first things first, juice and a face mask. This time she asks, please, would someone remind her to wash before she leaves. She laments the fact that nobody reminded her yesterday. She forgot until she was home and saw her face in the mirror. She was mortified! The poor woman took a trip to Kroger’s with her beauty mask. Now picture in your mind, a dignified, very darkly complected woman with a sweeping coal black perm and a very green tinge covering her whole face. I am surprised nobody screamed or called in the cops to take her to an institution. One evening we decided to see town. We felt the presence of God through common people on the street. We entered the metro station, a first. As we were trying to get our bearings together, here comes a helpful station attendant. Obviously we looked lost. He helps secure our tickets and led us through the gates. “Wait right here,” he says. He goes into a doorway and returns in a few minutes. He hands us a map with handwritten instructions of where to go and what to do. He also 26

gives us a friendly warning to be off of the metro before eleven o’clock. “At eleven I get off duty, and I will not be caught in the train system afterwards. It gets rough.” We head south with plans to visit Peachtree Avenue, but wanting to see more of town we go on the 5 Points Station. This will allow us to travel in all directions. I ask a lady attendant in 5 Points which direction, east or west to eat. She says, “Go nawth to Peachtree!” “No, we will go to Peachtree later; we just want to eat. Where to?” I asked. She grabbed a hold of my biceps with a fervor and a slight shake. “Y’all wanna go to da Hood? NO! Go nawth to Peachtree. Do’n go east or west,” she says. Later we find out that God’s protection works through simple people like her. We head “Nawth.” We find a good steakhouse and eat supper on the porch surrounded by a towering 30-40 story building. Next we trek off to Centennial Park, the scene of the Atlantic Olympics. En route, we were accosted by a bedraggled man who yelled, “Hey Moman, hey Moman, Yo got ten wives?” We hurry one. We enjoy seeing the park; however, we are clearly different. A bridal couple was taking photos, and the poor groom was distracted from his bride by the sight of us strolling through. Up a street we walk, towards the station. Suddenly the street gets a bit deserted for comfort. From a dark doorway rolls a wheelchair. The man is be-decked with medals and “military honors,” though homeless. “Are you Amish?” he asks. We confirm and try to walk on. Instantly a tall African American with a blanket draped over his shoulder is there. They ply us with questions as we try to edge on. We don’t want to be rude but feel
"In looking back at our trip and interaction with the people along the way I see that God is with us all through life." the need to be prudent. They try to hinder our progress in a “respectful” way. What their motives were, we have no idea. Maybe it was simply curiosity. However, down the street come a few lanky streetwise looking youth. They pass us by and stop. They turn around to check us out. They hold a quick consultation. They come meandering back towards us. Uh-Oh, we think, what now. They come within 15 -20 feet and doodle with their phones as if to take pictures. The two men are slightly distracted and we make our get-away. The youths aimlessly mill about until we are a block away. Then they leave the two “homeless” men and meander on their way. I am thankful to God that these youth were there. They appear to have been acting strictly on our behalf. Did they know something that we ignorant country folks do not? God protects and directs His people. We skedaddle back to the station and take a ride to another station. It is getting dark. We had hoped to find an ice cream stand, but, by the looks of the folks on the street, it is high time to get out of here. Meanwhile, in the stations, the homeless and less fortunate are starting to come out of the concrete walls. We try to find an empty bench to wait on the train, about twenty minutes. We sense certain areas to be a
bit deserted for our comfort. We find a place with a comfortable amount of people around. I am leaving tomorrow morning, so we study the schedules to determine whether I can use the metro instead of a taxi. I see a youth seated on the escalator balcony. He is in a world of his own. Ear buds in place and swaying to the beat. I need advice, so I stroll over and excuse myself. “If I want to go to the airport tomorrow, how long do I allow with the metro?” I am told about twenty minutes. The ear buds pop back in and the beat continues. We discuss our morning schedule and are interrupted with, “Yo, Bro. Hey, Bro. The airport is that way, not dis.” “Thanks, Bro, we are on another track tonight; that’s tomorrow evening.” Next morning I make my goodbyes to my wife and head for the metro station. I board the train and sit alone. As we go further south, and the working class people board for work, it is obvious that the lady that physically “assaulted” me knew what she was saying. In looking back at our trip and interaction with the people along the way I see that God is with us all through life. Whether these people all believed in the Lord and His power, I don’t know. But I do know, they are a tool in the mighty working of a world that is governed by a Divine Creator and master engineer. It is evident to me with all the corruption and evil the news media portrays and unveils, goodwill is still in the works. There are still many folks that use good common sense and want to reach out and help those around them. “Be a beacon of light to those around you. That light will reflect back to bless you.”
