“I will give thanks to the Lord because of His righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.”

Reimagining the Salem witch trials
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
The Salem witch trials were some of the darkest moments in American history, but for the cast of the Columbia High School fall play, the events provide comedy fodder. The school will present “Witches!? In Salem?!” at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22 and 23, with an additional performance at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Much of what modern audiences know about the Salem witch trials comes from “The Crucible,” a social commentary written by Arthur Miller in 1953.
“This is a parody of ‘The
Crucible,’” said senior Michael Unkow, who serves as the show’s stage manager and plays three parts, including Farmer John No. 1. “There are multiple references to that play in this show. They take what was already an absurd point in history, and they take it up to 11.”
said senior Eva Fanous, who is the lighting designer. “They will poke fun at things that us humans didn’t pay attention to or allowed to happen right in front of us. It’s very sarcastic.”
“Just be ready to have fun. This is a rollercoaster of a show.”
The show was written by Matt Cox, who is the author of other parody plays, including “Puffs,” which satirizes a popular franchise about a wizardry school.
Like “The Crucible,” “Witches!? In Salem?!” is set in 1692 and follows the story of several local children who have fallen under a mysterious spell. Although it’s a comedy, the play prompts audiences to examine the circumstances and societal pressures of the Salem
responsible for them.
“Expect a lot of laughs when you see this show,” said senior Madison Evans, who is on the sound crew. “Even listening to them rehearse today, I was dying the whole time.”
In fact, staying in character has been a challenge for the cast members, who often crack up at the show’s absurdity.
That’s part of what makes the show so fun, said Alexymahr Whitley, a senior who portrays the Rev. Parris.
“It’s been fun letting loose and getting into our characters, because this show is off the chain,” he said. “It’s unhinged.”

For the past few weeks, a group of budding entrepreneurs at Marticville Middle School has been putting its creativity and teamwork to the test. Students in Elizabeth Ortega’s autism support classroom have embraced the role of small business owners, preparing for their debut at the LancasterLebanon Intermediate Unit 13’s Holiday Student Bazaar. Operating under the name The Spectrum Studio, these young creators have crafted a collection of one-of-a-kind handmade keychains and vibrant tie-dyed T-shirts, all ready for sale at the event on Thursday, Dec. 5. The bazaar will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the IU13 Conference and Training Center, 1020 New Holland Ave., Lancaster.
Several of the seven students in the class are nonverbal, but they use pictures and communication devices to share their enthusiasm for their projects. Pointing to the beaded keychains, Zayvion Jones showed off his favorites, while Nesha Hopstetter said she loves making keychains from silicone beads and shrinky dinks.

program aims to improve work zone
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) have launched a new, statewide training program to improve new driver safety and roadway worker protection. The launch took place at Carlisle High School to highlight teen driver safety during National Teen Driver Safety Week.
Pennsylvania’s New
Driver Work Zone Safety Program is a training project that uses videos, infographics, knowledge checks, and testimonials to teach new drivers work zone laws, signage, and key facts, in addition to offering real-life scenarios to enhance understanding. The new program launched during National Teen Driver Safety Week in October; this annual observance aims to provide

education on safe driving to teens and all new drivers in the commonwealth.
The free, 35-minute virtual New Driver Work Zone Safety Program is currently available in English and Spanish. The transportation agencies will also collaborate on hands-on training opportunities to supplement the course.
Last October, Oklahoma became the first state in the nation to require new drivers to pass a work zone safety course to get their licenses. After hearing about Oklahoma’s program, the PA Turnpike developed a plan to introduce a similar initiative and has been working with PennDOT to make it a reality. The project was funded through $50,000 from the Federal Highway Administration’s State Transportation Innovation

Council Incentive Program. While the program is free and encouraged for all Pennsylvania residents, it is especially geared for new drivers.
Key factors in crashes involving teen drivers in Pennsylvania include driver inexperience, driver distractions, driving too fast for conditions, and improper or careless turning. The risk of a crash involving any of these factors can be reduced through practice, limiting the number of passengers riding with a teen driver, obeying all rules of the road, and using common sense.
The joint training project extends PennDOT and the PA Turnpike’s collaboration on increased work zone safety awareness. Both organizations host work zone-related educational events throughout the year. In March, PennDOT and the PA Turnpike, in partnership with the Pennsylvania State Police, started enforcement of the statewide Work Zone Speed Safety Camera program, which uses vehicle-mounted systems and electronic speed timing devices to detect and record motorists exceeding posted work zone speed limits by 11 miles per hour or more.

Historic house and farm preserved
Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA) celebrated a significant milestone in the preservation of Pennsylvania’s heritage on Sept. 27. More than 60 people gathered with SNHA staff members at the historic Mifflin House and Farm for a preservation celebration and initial groundbreaking. The event marked the culmination of a seven-year effort to protect the site from development and set the stage for its transformation into the Susquehanna Discovery
Center and Heritage Parka project expected to span five to 10 years. The Mifflin House, a documented stop on the Underground Railroad, and the 160-year-old barn will be rehabilitated and eventually opened to the public as part of the expansive project. A museum showcasing Susquehanna River art will have a home on the property, bringing to life the region’s cultural and natural history. The 79-acre Heritage Park will feature walking trails interpreting
the Underground Railroad and the Civil War battle that occurred in Wrightsville, a pivotal event in the 1863 Gettysburg campaign. The Heritage Park will combine historic preservation, inclusive storytelling, economic development, outdoor recreation, land conservation, and watershed protection. Private, state, and federal sources have already committed more than $8 million to the projected
$25 million development. The first phase of development, set to begin this fall, includes the construction of a new driveway, 30 parking spaces, and an ADA-accessible pathway through the farmstead. Following these improvements, the historic site will be open to the public for the first time in more than 225 years, with preview tours expected to begin in the spring of 2025.
Representatives of SNHA and community members broke ground at the historic Mifflin House and Farm.

Lancaster Chorale concert to feature Christyan Seay
The Lancaster Chorale will present a program titled “Psalms, Hymns, and Spirituals” featuring the renowned African American tenor Christyan Seay of Harrisburg. The concerts will take place on Saturday,
Nov. 23, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 24, at 3 p.m.
Under the direction of Bruce Gerlach, the Lancaster Chorale has grown to more than 100 members. To accommodate more singers, the chorale will perform for the first time in Gardner Theatre on the campus of Lancaster Country Day School, 725 Hamilton Road, Lancaster. A freewill offering will be received.
Local composer and pianist Dan Wolgemuth will accompany Seay for his solo rendition of the spiritual “Lord, I Want to Be a Christian.”
The chorale will also perform Wolgemuth’s setting of the hymn “Fairest Lord Jesus.”
The group’s longtime pianist and organist, Jan Stauffer, will accompany the chorale for much of the program.
Traditional African American spirituals on the program include ”Soon Ah Will Be Done”; “Ain’t Got Time to Die”; “Elijah Rock,” arranged by Moses Hogan; and the Jester Hairston versions of “Hold On!” and “Amen.”
In addition, the hymns and psalms that Gerlach has chosen for the concerts include Schubert’s “The Omnipotence,” “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need,” “Brother James’s Air,” “At the Round Earth’s Imagined Corners,” “I Will Not Leave You Comfortless,” “Pilgrim’s Hymn,” “The Eyes of All Wait Upon Thee” and “The Awakening.”
Salem from pg 1
Michael noted that rapid-fire dialogue keeps the play moving at a quick pace, and he said quick costume changes have provided a unique challenge since several cast members play multiple parts.
“There are some quick changes that are very intense, like just a few seconds to get off stage, change and come back on as a different character,” he said.
Along with comedy on stage, the show offers tech crews the opportunity to experiment with lights and sound, Eva said.
“We are working with a lot of special effects, and there are a lot of cool sound effects and lighting design, which isn’t typical for a play like this,” she shared. “We have a new lighting system that we got in April, and this is our first show using it.”
The cast and crew will take the show on the road to the state International Thespian Society conference in early January at West Chester University.
“We are the first show performing on opening night,” Michael said. “We’ll be performing for just over 1,000 other theater kids from around the state.”
As they get ready to perform for local audiences, the cast and crew members are excited to present an entertaining production.
“Just be ready to have fun,” Alexymahr advised audience members. “This is a rollercoaster of a show.”
“Witches!? In Salem?!” will be performed at Columbia High School, 901 Ironville Pike, Columbia. Tickets will be sold at the door. There are separate prices for adults, students and senior citizens.
1, 5 P.M.
Seay has performed extensively throughout central Pennsylvania and abroad, including with the Harrisburg and Lancaster symphonies and opera companies as well as with the Pennsylvania Consort and Concert Operetta of Philadelphia. He has performed in New York City at Weill Recital Hall and in Prague at the Smetana Hall. Last year he was the tenor soloist in the Mozart “Requiem” for Shippensburg University and was the guest artist for the African American Music Festival at Penn State University. Seay is a graduate of that university, where he studied with Anthony Leach, who had first recognized Seay’s talent when the tenor was a teenager in a church choir in Steelton.
Gerlach discovered his love for choral singing and
As they string the beads and color the keychains, they are doing much more than just making crafts.
“There are so many good skills they learn from this,” Ortega said. “They learn to handle the money, work on the budgeting and prepare all the items.”
Participating in the bazaar is the perfect fit for student Cole Hartman, who was hard at work making a SpongeBob SquarePants design. He’s been practicing his favorite school subject in preparation for helping to run the business. “I like to do math,” he said. “It’s fun.”
Ortega’s students will be among hundreds throughout Lancaster County who will offer their homemade items for sale at the bazaar.
“We have well over 300 participants and approximately 40 mini businesses,” said Doreen Unton, coordinator of job training services for the IU13, who noted that a similar event is held in November in Lebanon County. “We set up the Conference and Training Center using the perimeter of the room and three rectangle groups so that customers can walk around easily to see merchandise. … It is usually loud and busy but happy!”
The bazaar began after the IU13 established a grant program to support teachers in setting up classroom mini businesses, she said.
“The primary goal of a mini business is to teach students job skills, social awareness and work ethics in a practical, class-based setting,” Unton explained.
“By managing a classroom business, teachers can provide direct instruction on work responsibilities, specific job skills, production processes, quality standards and employability skills. … Running a mini business offers students valuable insights into business operations and entrepreneurship. Each experience, including facing low sales, becomes a learning opportunity.”
Unton noted that the bazaar is a win-win for both shoppers and students.
“As a customer, from the moment you walk into the building on the day of the bazaar, there is an energy and buzz of excitement,” she shared. “Students are smiling and telling you all about the craft they made, and shoppers are happy to browse for treasures. The events have also become a reunion of sort for past students and staff. People are hugging, laughing and engaging with the
students. It’s a wonderful atmosphere, and I guarantee that visitors will leave the event with a smile, full heart and lots of goodies!”
For the students and staff, the event represents the culmination of their hard work. “Now they get to set up their display of crafts and sell them to customers,” Unton said. “They get to practice social skills, sales skills, math and so much more. And they get to do a little shopping at the other vendors.”
Sales from the mini businesses directly benefit the classroom, with funds used for student incentives, donations to charitable causes or even unique initiatives such as a class sponsorship of an Alaskan Iditarod dog race team.
Proceeds from The Spectrum Studio will be used to fund community-based outings and field trips.
“I’d like them to go to a restaurant, practice ordering their own food and paying for their own food,” Ortega shared. “We want to go bowling or go to the movies. We want to give them opportunities to practice those kinds of skills.”
Unton encourages people to visit the bazaar to pick up one-of-a-kind items and see the students
FaithfulGive raises funds for nonprofits
The second annual FaithfulGive raised more than $1.4 million from 2,843 donors and sponsors in support of more than 90 faith-based, nonprofit organizations. This amount is nearly double the 2023 total.
The event was held from Oct. 20 to 22. Gifts will help to meet needs across Lancaster County, and every donation has been stretched and multiplied thanks to a stretch fund from donors like Gold Sponsors
Faithward Advisors and Witbeck Family Foundation and Silver Sponsors Bare Wealth Advisors; Blessings of Hope; Clymer, Musser & Sarno; and Sight & Sound Theatre. Donors also had the opportunity to sign up as a volunteer
in action. “Ask them what they made and how they made it,” she said. “If you purchase something, allow them to test their math skills and customer service skills. Oftentimes students blossom in this environment when they are outside the classroom and can interact with people. … By attending, you will help reinforce and demonstrate public support for our local area students and make the event impactful and memorable for them and their teachers.”

In addition, LBC will present its 2024 Christmas concerts beginning at 7 p.m. on Nov. 22 in Good Shepherd Chapel on the Lancaster campus. Two additional performances are planned for 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23.
The concerts, titled “Gloria in Excelsis - An Advent Celebration,” will feature several LBC ensembles in performances that weave together a variety of music, dance, and Scripture to celebrate the Christmas season. LBC students, staff members, and faculty members have spent months preparing this performance, which will include Antonio Vivaldi’s “Gloria in D Major” for orchestra and chorus.
The concerts are free to attend, but tickets are required. To reserve seats, visit www.lbc.edu/events.
