Elizabethtown Mennonite Plans Pizza Baking Contest By Chelsea Peifer

As work on the renovations and addition to Elizabethtown Mennonite Church were well underway in 2018, the board members realized that the budget no longer allowed for the immediate inclusion of volleyball nets and basketball hoops in the new multipurpose gymnasium. “All I was looking forward to was the basketball hoop and volleyball net,” recalled 13-year-old Colin Miller with a smile. Colin, who attends Elizabethtown Mennonite Church with his family, mentioned his disappointment to pastor Conrad Kanagy when they were both volunteering during a community-wide service day in July. The two talked about potential solutions and came up with the idea for a pizza baking contest fundraiser based

on their common love for making and eating - pizza. “I said, ‘Why don’t we propose it to the board as a fundraiser?’ and Colin took off with it,” Kanagy shared. After Colin’s slideshow presentation and explanation of the idea, the board members agreed it was a great suggestion and planning for the event began. The pizza baking contest fundraiser is set to take place at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12, in the new multipurpose gymnasium at Elizabethtown Mennonite Church, 300 S. Spruce St., Elizabethtown. Community members are invited to attend and may make reservations by calling 717-682-1907 or 717-669-0074. Admission is by donation, and proceeds will go toward purchasing sports equipment. Any additional funds raised will be put toward the building fund. See Pizza Contest pg 9

MOMS Club To Host Preschool Fair Loomers Share The Love By Chelsea Peifer

Every weeknight evening in the foyer of the James Buchanan apartment complex at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, a dozen or so individuals gather to loom

knit. Known as the Masonic Village Loving Loomers, the group began meeting together two years ago after two women discovered a common interest in loom knitting and helping others. They began meeting casually in the See Loving Loomers pg 5

BEEF DINNER

St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, Parents and guardians are invited to the ninth annual MOMS Club of Elizabethtown preschool fair on Jan. 19 at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Elizabethtown. More than 15 local schools and organizations will be represented at the free event. By Chelsea Peifer

Elizabethtown and the surrounding areas are rich in resources and opportunities, but sometimes finding and sorting through all of those options can be overwhelming - especially for parents scouting out potential schools for their

children. That is why the MOMS Club of Elizabethtown hosts a preschool fair every year. President Erica Leilous stated that the purpose of the event is to highlight educational offerings of local preschools in order to help parents make the right choice for educating their young children. See Preschool Fair pg 7

The members of the Masonic Village Loving Loomers, a resident-organized club that loom knits hats and other items to donate to folks in need, have completed a total of 1,759 hats since they began meeting two years ago.

Building Campaign from pg 1

ELIZABETHTOWN EDITION

By Chelsea Peifer Published By

The Columbia Creative Factory has begun a campaign to raise funds to purchase the building that it currently occupies at 247 Locust St., Columbia. A nonprofit organization geared toward cultivating creativity through shared arts experiences, the Columbia Creative Factory is an offshoot of the Lancaster Creative Factory and has been offering art classes and programming for children, youths, and adults since 2016. Mychal LaVia, who facilitates workshops at the Columbia Creative Factory, said that the use of the space had been donated to the organization for the past two years, but the building went up for sale in 2018. The Creative Factory team decided to begin the process of fundraising in hopes of purchasing it as a permanent location. Otherwise, the group will need to find a new location when the building sells. According to Andrea Campbell of the Columbia Creative Factory, the cost to purchase and make a few needed upgrades to the building will be $425,000, which means that the organization must raise $275,000 by

and community groups. Kevin Lehman, founder and director of the Lancaster Creative Factory, located at 580 S. Prince St., Lancaster, said that continuing to offer community work space and programming is a major part of the plans for the Columbia Creative Factory as the team dreams of owning its current operating space. Team members also hope to offer even more programming for adults and families in the Columbia area. LaVia said that seeing the difference the Creative Factory has made in the community during the past two years has been exciting, and he hopes to see the positive effect continue to gain momentum going forward. “We’re really interested in creativity and what it can do for people, even as far as its healing potential,” Lehman said. “People can use creativity, so wherever we can help them to do that we’d like to bring more opportunities. We’ve got ideas (for programming and other events), but it’s really flexible and based on what the community needs.” “It’s really a community space, and we really feel like we’re here for the community,” said

Lehman, adding that the team members at the Creative Factory believe they can be a part of the spark that draws more people to Columbia for all that the borough has to offer. To donate to the Columbia Creative Factory building campaign, interested individuals may visit https://columbia creativefactory.org/. A short film detailing the building campaign and the organization’s community efforts may also be viewed at the website, as well as information about fundraising events that are currently in the planning stages.

As more people noticed what the women were doing and wanted to take part, they decided to move their nightly meetings to the roomier foyer to accommodate the growing group. “It’s friendship, getting together and laughing, and it’s a wonderful social outlet to do something good for someone else,” said Mary Jean Risser, who helped to establish the club. Not everyone attends every night, but there is always a group knitting together for about an hour - give or take. “We are a very close-knit group,” said Betty Deibert with a laugh. Club members Donald and Emma Hoover have taken on the role of providing a bit of entertainment for the knitters, whether that be a song or a brief reading to open their time together. Other members of the group include Ann Colangelo, Dianna Taggart, Lynne Brenneman, Joan Firth, Dee Molinari, Twila Shreffler, Jean Saam, Millie Jamison, Lilly Campbell, Edna Sloan, Chris Hornberger, Carolyn Matthews, and Wanda Roth.

Preschool Fair from pg 1 The ninth annual MOMS Club of Elizabethtown preschool fair is set to take place on Saturday, Jan. 19, from 9 to 11 a.m. at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 398 N. Locust St., Elizabethtown. Admission is free. In the case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled for Saturday, Jan. 26. Leilous noted that preschools typically begin sign-ups and enrollment for the fall in the spring of the same year, so exploring options early is key. “While most schools start when the child is age 3 or 4, some, such as Elizabethtown Community Nursery School, can start as young as age 2,” added Leilous. “Those attending Children’s Playroom of Lancaster County can start as infants.” Schools and organizations scheduled to take part in the event include Bossler Christian Preschool, Children’s Playroom of Lancaster County, Elizabethtown Child Care Center (ECCC), Elizabethtown Community Nursery School, Fishburn Flock Christian Day Care and Early Learning Center, GEARS Kids Center, Kids

Playhouse at Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church, Kraybill Mennonite School, Lancaster Mennonite School - Hershey Campus, Mount Calvary Christian School, Play 2 Learn, Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary School, Susquehanna Waldorf School, Tiny Timbers Christian Preschool, and Under the Willow Preschool. “It is a great opportunity to explore all the schools at one time, in one location, versus researching all the options on your own,” Leilous remarked. “It is great to have the face-to-face interaction and to meet individuals that could possibly be working with your child.” Additionally, the MOMS Club of Elizabethtown will hold a bake sale at the fair. A local business that offers educational classes and camps for toddlers, preschoolers, and schoolage children will have a table of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) activities set up for attendees to try and purchase. Plus, a local school bus service will have a bus parked outside for

another Touch-A-Bus experience, which Leilous said was a popular part of last year’s preschool fair, too. Leilous described the MOMS Club of Elizabethtown as a group of mothers that are currently at home raising their children. Members must have an Elizabethtown, Mount Joy, Bainbridge, Marietta, Maytown, or Lawn address to join officially, as the club is an official chapter of MOMS Club International. The group gathers monthly at an official Club Connections meeting, typically held on the first Friday of each month at a location in Elizabethtown. “This meeting is where club news, planning, and event discussion take place while children play,” said Leilous. Members also take turns planning and hosting play dates, activities, outings, and childfriendly field trips to local places. “It is a great way for moms to make friends with other moms in the area that are also currently home and gives children opportunities to interact and play with others,”

commented Leilous. For more information on MOMS Club of Elizabethtown, interested individuals may stop by the membership table at the preschool fair or email etown momsclub@gmail.com.

Pizza Contest from pg 1 Ten groups will be baking pizza, and attendees will have the chance to sample all 10 pizza entries. A full salad bar and beverages will also be available. People will be able to vote for their favorite pizza for the People’s Choice winner. Colin also reached out to Sal Bellia, owner of Sal’s Pizza in Elizabethtown, to serve as a local celebrity judge for the contest. Bellia was happy to help out. He will be judging pizzas based primarily on taste, as well as on shape and appearance. Employees from Scenic Ridge Construction, the company that completed the work on the church, will also serve as judges. Winning pizzas will be auctioned off for folks to purchase once the sampling and voting have ended. “This facility was always intended to

be used by the community, and we feel that we’re here to serve the community. This (pizza baking contest) is a good fit with that,” Kanagy stated. In the near future, free weekly workouts for men will be offered in the gymnasium by two church members with personal training and weightlifting experience. Kanagy said that, once finalized, the details on that will be posted on the church sign. Groundbreaking for the addition to Elizabethtown Mennonite Church took place on May 12, 2018. Renovations were also made to the interior of the building. The sanctuary now has seating capacity for 213 people, and the wooden benches were replaced with chairs. Rain delayed construction somewhat, but Kanagy said the majority of the

work has been completed at this point. An official dedication service for the new space will take place on Sunday, Jan. 27. Kanagy and his wife, Heidi, who serves as the minister of care, are thankful for how supportive Elizabethtown Borough has been of the project as well as for how the congregation took initiative with the entire process. “We have had excellent leadership from within the congregation,” said Kanagy. “We really felt like God’s spirit has led and directed all of this, and we’re really grateful.” Elizabethtown Mennonite Church offers weekly Sunday services with classes for people of all ages at 9 a.m. and worship at 10 a.m. All are welcome.

The Bears came home with a 23rd place team finish with only Cameron Olson collecting tournament hardware. The senior ended the two-day affair with a sixthplace medal for his work in the 126-pound bracket. Olson went 3-3 with wins over Upper Darby’s Joseph O’Neill, Upper Perkiomen’s Mike Milkowich and Hempfield’s Clay Gainer.

Elizabethtown forfeits providing enough cushion for Lebanon to withstand E-town’s late charge.

on a podium appearance with losses in the fourth round of the wrestleback bracket. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL After their performance in the 2018 Northeastern Holiday Tournament, the Elizabethtown girls’ basketball team might want to reach out to legendary NBA coach Pat Riley. The reason, Riley holds the trademark to the phrase “three-peat” and with wins over West Perry and the host Lady Bobcats, E-town finished their own three-peat by collecting their third straight Northeastern Holiday Tournament crown. The Lady Bears opened their quest for a third straight title on December 27th with a 48-31 win over West Perry. Both teams got off to a slow start with the sides finishing the first quarter of action knotted at 8-8. Elizabethtown took off from there but more importantly managed to keep West Perry stuck in that first quarter rut. E-town topped the double-digit threshold in all three remaining frames while the Lady Mustangs were unable to do so in any of the four quarters leading to the 17-point victory. Marena Lonardi led the charge, scoring 23 of her game high 27 points during Elizabethtown’s three-quarter surge. Sydney Pierson and Carley

Sedun provided Lonardi’s back-up in the form of matching eight-point efforts. The championship came one night later when the Lady Bears topped Northeastern 42-32. Once again, the Lady Bears controlled the action in three of the four quarters with only a sluggish second quarter keeping the Lady Bobcats from getting run out of their own gym. E-town took control of the game in the opening frame thanks to Lonardi and Pierson. The duo outscored Northeastern by themselves, 13-10, with Ainsley Raybold adding three of her five points in the frame for a 16-10 edge. The dynamic duo fell nearly silent in the second quarter with only one made Pierson free throw between the two. That allowed the Lady Bobcats to squeak out an 11-7 edge through the frame, shrinking E-town’s lead down to two, 23-21, at intermission. Elizabethtown reestablished their dominance in the second half starting with a 12-6 run through the third. Lonardi remained in a scoring drought but Pierson was able to get back on track, netting five of Elizabethtown’s 12 third quarter points. Carley Sedun picked up the final three of her five points while Raybold netted her final two points in the frame as well. Macy Seaman picked up her only points of

the game with a third quarter bucket. Points were harder to find in the final frame with the two sides combining for just 12 total points. Thankfully Lonardi broke out of her minislump to score five of Elizabethtown’s seven fourth quarter points, leaving her with 12 for the game. Pierson was responsible for the final two points to finish with a game high 14. Emma Blyler collected E-town’s two remaining points with a second quarter bucket. The title winning run bumps Elizabethtown to 6-3 on the season and stretched their winning streak to five games as the Lady Bears get into their Lancaster-Lebanon League schedule. RIFLE The rifle team will be sorry to see 2018 come to a close. The Bears went 4-for-4 with wins over Conestoga Valley, Manheim Township, Governor Mifflin and Ephrata to start the season 4-0 for the second time in three years. E-town slipped by Conestoga Valley 589-588 to kick off the season on December 11th and followed with a

narrow, 496-493, victory over the Blue Streaks on the 13th. A comfortable 497-486 win over Governor Mifflin on December 18th led into another close call on the 20th. This one was a 497-493 victory over Ephrata. BOWLING The bowling team has started the 2018-2019 season more or less where they left off last season. After finishing their 2017-2018 campaign with a 54-37 mark, E-town sports a 25-3 record heading into the 2019 portion of their schedule. The Bears posted 7-0 wins over Conestoga Valley, Lebanon and Lancaster Catholic while topping Ephrata via a 6-1 mark and Cedar Crest by a 5-2 count. The lone dark mark on the Bears schedule is a 5-2 loss to Garden Spot. Elizabethtown also took part in two early season team tournaments starting with the Lady Bears participation in the IceBreaker Classic on December 8th. E-town slipped into the step-ladder finals with the fifth best qualifying mark setting up a quarterfinal match with Muhlenberg. The Lady Muhls claimed that match-up 2-1 ending the Lady Bears shot at a title. A week later the boy’s team took part in the SnowRoller Showdown at Lancaster’s Leisure Lanes. Qualifying went well with the Bears taking the top spot which dropped them into the semifinal round of the stepladder finals. E-town dispatched Dauphin Country Vo-Tech 2-0 to setup a finals showdown with Wyomissing. The Spartans claimed the SnowRoller title with a 2-0 win over Elizabethtown. SWIMMING The swim team kicked off 2019 with a trip to Hummelstown to face Lower Dauphin. The result was a split with the Lady Bears posting a 94.5-75.5 victory while the boy’s fell 98-71. The split was the third straight meet for E-town that saw the two teams fall on opposite sides of the final ledger. The girl’s topped McCaskey 123-40 while the boy’s fell 90-70 back on December 18th to kick off the three-meet run. Two days later the boy’s posted a 90-76 win over Warwick while the girl’s dropped a 101-69 final. Elizabethtown’s first meet of the season against Milton Hershey on December 11th saw double Bear victories with the boys winning 119-57 and the girls 144-36. E-town hit the water again on the 13th with both sides falling to Manheim Township. BOYS’ BASKETBALL As the basketball season flips to the back side of the schedule, the Bears are looking to improve on their 5-5 overall mark. E-town started that improvement back on December 27th when they closed out day one of the Allen Restoration Inc Holiday Shootout with a 76-48 throttling of Kutztown. The Bears took control early with a 17-14 run through the opening frame but gave a preview of the second half with a 21-12 burst in the second quarter. Larry Locker scored 10 of his game high 20 in the second to help E-town stretch that three-point margin to 12 points at the break. A solid third pushed the lead to 18 points while an 18-8 advantage in the final stanza set the final margin at 28 points. Ryan Parise (13 points), Luke Pierson (10 points) and Amos See E-town pg 11

Chargers Win Shoot Out Tourney Title by Leah Sintic

Charger basketball got off to a strong start in December, breaking into the new year with an overall record of 5-3, and sporting an unblemished 2-0 showing in conference play. Among the early tests for the squad was the MCCS Varsity Shoot Out Tournament, hosted by the Chargers in mid-December. Following victories over New Covenant and Conestoga Christian, the Chargers were crowned tournament champs. “I was really impressed with our attention to detail and execution,” praised head coach Kory Pruner after the Chargers claimed the tournament. Sophomore Aidan Masters tallied a two-game total of 38 points and nine steals to lead the charge and earn himself tournament MVP recognition. Brother and teammate, Tyler Masters, a senior, chipped in with 13 points, 12 steals, and 14 rebounds over the course of the tourney and received All-Tournament team honors. In the Championship showdown against the Conestoga Christian Cougars, the Chargers overcame a weak second quarter by outscoring the Cougars in the other three quarters, accruing an 18-point advantage before the final buzzer, 57-39. “Against Conestoga, we saw a complete team effort to take away our opponent’s strengths while at the same time selflessly sharing the ball until we got a good shot-and it also

helped that we made those shots,” Pruner pointed out. Sophomore Hunter Stewart was another vital component in the victory over the Cougars, hitting five-of-six free throw attempts as a part of his 11-point contribution. In night one’s 56-10 overcoming of New Covenant, Jack Hilsher and A. Masters posted matching 13’s to lead all scorers. Chip Stambaugh and Harrison Crick each boosted the squad with 100 percent efforts from the line, both going two-for-two, and Stambaugh’s performance also included five rebounds and two blocks. “I challenged the team to do better defensively, and each player did that,” noted Pruner. “Everyone played that night and everyone did well with a lot of the defensive principles we have worked on,” he added. In a preceding conference win on the road, the Chargers captured a 62-47 triumph over Christian School of York, with three MC players producing double digit figures. A. Masters’ 18 points led the night, followed by Stewart’s 14, and an additional 12 from Hilsher. The trio combined for a successful 16 points accumulated at the line, spearheaded by 86 percent free throw shooting from Stewart, who nailed six-of-seven attempts. A. Masters nailed five-of-six, and Hilsher went five-for-ten. The Chargers first loss of the sesason came at the hands of the Schuylkill Haven Hurricanes. The 7147 defeat came during the champi-

onship game of the Upper Dauphin Tip-Off Tournament. MC earned their admittance to the championship game by toppling the Upper Dauphin Trojans 54-45 the previous evening. The Chargers were trailing the Trojans by nine at the half, but rallied for a third quarter comeback, spurred by defensive pressure, to take the lead. “We decided to make a switch defensively to press during the second half,” noted Pruner. The changeup paid off, as pressure from the entire team lead to a gamehigh eight steals from T. Masters, who also led the team on the offensive end with 15 points. Limiting Upper Dauphin’s chances at easy buckets became a key factor and Charger center, Stambaugh, came up big on the boards, pulling down 11. Heading into the heart of the season, the team knows that a balance of both skill and effort will be required for a truly successful season. “Our theme is focused on how we can strive for more,” explained Pruner. “Improving as a team on and off the court in strength, trust, reliability, integrity, victory, and excellence.” GIRLS’ BASKETBALL No one can say the Lady Chargers haven’t provided their fans with an exciting early season, accruing a 4-1 record heading into Christmas break, characterized by thrilling, comefrom-behind, final minute triumphs. All four of the MC squad’s victories were registered with only one- or

two-point differentials, and in each case the Lady Chargers found themselves trailing, at times substantially, but through tenacious efforts fought their way back for the win. On their final opportunity before the holiday hiatus, the Lady Chargers took down non-conference opponent York Country Day, 29-27. The scoreboard looked bleak heading into the final quarter, reading 25-18, advantage York. No strangers to late-game success, the Lady Chargers refused to quit and dominated the final eight minutes, outscoring York 11-2 to take the game by two. Holding their fragile two-point lead for the final 90 seconds tested the team’s defensive gameplay, but despite several last-minute efforts from York, the Lady Chargers walked away with another one-possession triumph. Naomi Ewing netted five of her 11 points during the fourth quarter push to lead the offensive charge, with fellow junior, Haley Witmer, tacking on an additional eight points. Witmer also dominated the boards grabbing 17 rebounds. “The girls are taking to heart our challenge of competing hard until the end,” explained head coach Phil Ferrari. “We have been able to find a way to score enough in the second half, while getting key stops on the defensive end.” Midway through December, the Lady Chargers placed third in the Varsity Shoot Out Tournament hosted at

Mount Calvary. After being bumped into the consolation game due to a 22-15 first round loss to New Covenant Christian, the girls fired back with a 29-28 win over Conestoga Christian. Sophomore Kara Locker was named to the All-Tournament team for her contributions, tallying a total of 21 points, five steals, and five rebounds. “Kara has been a huge offensive threat and is shooting the ball really well,” credited Ferrari. “Our captains, Haley [Witmer] and Naomi [Ewing], have stepped up their leadership this year and have really played a huge role in our early success.” Early in December, the team kicked off their season on the road, with similar score victories over Harrisburg Academy (31-29), and Christian School of York (33-31). Against CSY, the Chargers were forced to work their way out of a ninepoint deficit, finding themselves behind 20-11. Led by Brie Lehman’s 11-point game, including three buckets from downtown, the Chargers worked their way back into contention. Sophomores Locker and Julia Martin chipped in with eight points apiece. Getting the job done on the boards, Witmer pulled down 10 rebounds for the Chargers, and Martin’s defensive efforts, including eight steals played a huge roll in turning the tide. “Defensively, Julia [Martin] has been a real spark as she leads the

team in deflections and steals and wreaks havoc flying all over the floor,” praised Ferrari. In their season opener against Harrisburg Academy, Locker blazed the way with a game high 15 points accompanied by four rebounds and three steals to help the Chargers hang on for the two-point victory. Heading into the mid-season, the Lady Chargers look to convert their come-back pattern into a complete 32 minutes of excellence. “We have struggled with playing four quarters of consistent basketball which is always a goal of ours,” explained Ferrari. “We want to focus on cutting down unforced turnovers and look to be more consistent in shutting teams down and making them take the shots we want them to.” Along with their on-court goals, the team is focused on a spiritual emphasis of being “All-In”. “We’re exploring what it truly means to be committed in our daily life,” explained Ferrari, pointing the team’s attention on the Old Testament book of Ruth and the lessons on commitment. “Our word for this season is ‘compete’ and we are certainly embracing the idea of competing no matter what the score and no matter what the circumstance.” With plenty of competitive opportunities on the horizon, the Lady Chargers head into 2019 with big goals and exciting potential, facing a lineup of four CCAC opponents this week.

to hold on for the 62-58 victory. That lack of traction led to a three-point, 2926, deficit at the break for the hosts with the Rams only making things worse as the third quarter unfolded. CD opened the frame with a 10-0 run that stretched their lead to 39-26 and put Elizabethtown on the ropes. The Bears managed to tread water over the remainder of the third but the damage had already been done.

CD’s three-point halftime cushion had already ballooned to 14 points heading into the final eight minutes. Elizabethtown was able to chip away at the Ram’s lead, shrinking it to the final margin of four points with a 2212 edge in the fourth. “We got really flat,” said head coach Rocky Parise. “I haven’t seen our guys like that yet this year and I challenged them at the end of the

third and we came out. I think we just had to make a couple of plays and that kind of lit a fire under us.” Locker paced Elizabethtown with 14 points while Ryan Parise and Dylan Sweger chipped in 10 points apiece. Elizabethtown got back to winning on January 2nd with a 70-68 double overtime win over Hershey. The Bears wasted no time taking control of the game, posting a 26-17

edge in the first quarter thanks to Ryan Parise scoring 14 of his game high 29 points in the frame. Hershey slowly whittled that control away starting with a 17-14 edge in the second quarter. The Trojans managed to tie the game up heading into the final frame with an 11-5 advantage in the third. Both sides finished the fourth with 16 points sending the game to an extra period

with the teams knotted at 61-61. Overtime points were at a premium with the two sides combining for just eight points in the first extra session. With the score still deadlock the teams started the clock on a second overtime frame only this time E-town was able to hold a 5-3 edge to steal the two-point win. Locker (18 points) and Eberly (13 points) joined Parise in double figures for the game.

Rugby Club Breaks Ground On Future Home On Nov. 30, 2018, Harrisburg Rugby Football Club, in conjunction with Londonderry Township in Dauphin County, broke ground to begin construction of Perseverance Fields, the future home of the Harrisburg Rugby

Football Club. These types of facilities will help to secure field space for various events and opportunities designed to help grow the game of rugby, as well as create a community resource for various events.

There will be three fields, one at international rugby standards that will be unlike any other field set up within the region. The fields are anticipated to be ready by the fall of 2019.

The Harrisburg Rugby Football Club was founded in 1969 and is approaching its 50year anniversary. The men and women of Harrisburg Rugby Football Club provide support for community development through

recreational activities and aim to encourage and promote the ethos of camaraderie, discipline, and respect to other underserved entities. Growth and development of the rugby community is the club’s goal. To contribute to the further development of the field complex, readers may make a donation through the

GoFundMe or with recurring payments through Just Giving. Links to both fundraising websites are available by visiting www.harrisburgrugby.com. For additional information, readers may contact Jeffrey Cook, chair of the Harrisburg Rugby Football Club, at chairman@ harrisburgrugby.com.

The Lancaster Symphony Orchestra (LSO) will present the third concert of its 72nd season on Saturday, Jan. 12, at 3 and 8 p.m. at the historic Fulton Theatre, 12 N. Prince St., Lancaster. The concert will include Maurice Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet and Strings; Serge Koussevitzky’s Double Bass Concerto, featuring the LSO’s principal double bassist, Brent Edmondson; and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet and Strings was a commission from the Érard Company, one of the first harp manufacturers from the 1800s. In 1905, the company asked Ravel to write a piece to display Érard’s pedal harp’s expressive range and to promote sales of the instrument. Ravel quickly composed the work in a matter of days in order to attend an extended sailing vacation with friends to Belgium,

icated the concerto to his fiancée and gave its premiere in Moscow. Once Koussevitzky permanently put aside the bass in 1929, the work was unperformed for many years. Alfredo Antonini, a leading Italian-American symphony conductor and composer of the mid-1900s, brought the piece to light a few years after Koussevitzky’s death, and it remains a staple concerto today. By the early 1800s, Beethoven was considered the world’s leading composer. Beethoven wrote his Seventh Symphony from 1811 to 1812, completing it in April. It was one of his most popular symphonic pieces and premiered on Dec. 8, 1813. The performance was a benefit for soldiers wounded in the battle of Hanau a few months earlier and was possibly one of Beethoven’s most successful performances. After its premiere, the Seventh Symphony was repeated three times in the following 10 weeks.

Holland and Germany. In the chaos of preparing for the long voyage, the score became lost. It was recovered when a young musician found it at a local shop where Ravel dropped it while purchasing new shirts for his trip. Ravel dedicated the work to Albert Blondel, the Érard Company director. He later expanded the piece, original a chamber work, for full orchestra. Koussevitzky was a prominent conductor and well known for his 25-year tenure as music director for the Boston Symphony from 1924 to 1949. Before he turned his career toward conducting, Koussevitzky started out as a touring double bass virtuoso. It was during this period that Koussevitzky composed the Concerto for Double Bass. It is one of very few concerti in existence for double bass and is considered a cornerstone in the instrument’s repertoire. It is also a prime example of Russian Romanticism. Koussevitzky ded-

Heart Disease Support Group Slated WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women With Heart Disease has announced that WomenHeart of Lancaster County will begin its fifth year of the Support Network for women living with heart disease, hosted by WomenHeart Champion Jerri Anne Johnson, at Lancaster General Health Suburban Outpatient Pavilion, 2100 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster. The first meeting of 2019 will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 9, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Meetings will be held in the third-floor conference room near Cardiac Rehab and are open to all women living with heart disease, as well as their caregiver. Meetings will take place on the second Wednesday of each month except July, August, and December. The program is offered through a partnership with Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health. Johnson became a WomenHeart Support Network coordinator after attending the WomenHeart Science & Leadership Symposium at the Mayo Clinic in October 2014. There, each year since 2002,

women heart disease survivors have gathered to be trained to become volunteer community educators and Support Network coordinators in an effort to help women live heart-healthy lives and receive the support they need to do so. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. More than 800 women from across the country have become national volunteer WomenHeart Champions. These women are available to speak to community, state, and national audiences about heart disease. In addition, WomenHeart advocates for prevention, early and accurate diagnosis, and proper treatment of heart disease, and WomenHeart Champions lead a national community-based, patient-led network of support groups for women living with heart disease. WomenHeart was founded in 1999, and the Science and Leadership Symposium at Mayo Clinic was founded as an integral part of WomenHeart in 2002. For more information, readers may

Tortilla Soup (serves four) 4 corn tortillas, freshly made or a few days old 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus extra for frying 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 14-ounce can plum tomatoes, drained 4 cups chicken stock Small bunch cilantro Salt and ground black pepper Using a sharp knife, cut each tortilla into four or five strips, each measuring about 3/4 inches wide. Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 3/4 inch into a heavy frying pan. Heat until a

small piece of tortilla, added to the oil, floats on the top and bubbles at the edges. Add a few tortilla strips to the hot oil and fry for a few minutes, until crisp and golden brown all over, turning them occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a double layer of paper towels. Cook the remaining tortilla strips in the same way. Heat the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, heavy pan. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook over medium heat for two to three minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula, until the onion is soft and translucent. Do not

let the garlic turn brown, or it will give the soup a bitter taste. Chop the tomatoes using a large, sharp knife and add them to the onion mixture in the pan. Pour in the chicken stock and stir well. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, until the liquid has reduced slightly. Chop the cilantro. Add to the soup, reserving a little to use as a garnish. Season to taste. Place a few of the crisp tortilla pieces in the bottom of four warmed soup bowls. Ladle the soup on top. Sprinkle each portion with the reserved chopped cilantro and serve.
