Rocking the barn for a good cause BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Earlier this year, the members of False Alarm, a band comprising students at Elizabethtown Area High School (EAHS), began thinking of ideas for a community concert. Then, they decided to go a step further and turn the concert into a fundraiser for a
local organization. The result of their efforts was Elizabethtown Rock for Food, a concert held in a barn last month to benefit the Community Cupboard of Elizabethtown. “We knew from the beginning ... that we wanted to do a fundraiser of some kind,” recalled Owen Wagner, an EAHS senior See Rocking pg 5

I’m sure he’s going to have a message, a spiritual Gospel message, along with his act. It’s not purely entertainment.” Bingo will be held in the Lutheran Lodge on-site from 4 to 6:30 p.m., and a variety of events will also take place at the Winters Heritage House Museum, located at 47 E. High St. The museum will feature children’s crafts and balloon twisting from The Balunguy from 4 to 6:30 p.m. A DJ will provide music outside during the event, while Christmas music on the organ will be featured in the nave from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. Puppies from Susquehanna Service Dogs will also be on-site in the church parlor. The event will culminate in the raising and lighting of a star to usher in the new year. “The star raising was my idea,” Domines said. “We use a star because it’s Christmas and we want to emphasize that Christmas isn’t one day; it’s 12 days.

Family secrets unfold in “Other Desert Cities” BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Family relationships come under the microscope when Susquehanna Stage presents “Other Desert Cities.” The play will be performed at the theater, 133 W. Market St., Marietta, at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 12, 13 and 14, as well as at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15. The play follows the Wyeth family as daughter Brooke returns home after a long absence to visit her wealthy,
conser vative parents . S he announces to the family that she plans to publish a memoir unveiling a well-guarded family secret that her parents hope will stay buried. Set in Palm Springs, Calif., the play takes its title from a road sign. “This is a play about love and some of the bad things that can happen from loving,” said John Kleimo, who is directing the show. “This is a family that loves each other very dearly, but they’ve made some bad calls.” Written in 2011 by Jon Robin See “Other Desert Cities” pg 3

hrist Evangelical Lutheran Church may serve as the host site for Welcome 2025, but the annual New Year’s Eve event is for everyone, said Cammy Anderson, who serves on the event committee. “This is a community event. It’s not just a church event,” she stated. “There’s such a nice variety of activities, and other than the chicken barbecue, there’s no charge for anything. It’s wonderful being together to watch that star raise, and we finish out with great, big-time fireworks. They’re really impressive. Our motto is to receive and share the light of Christ, and what better way to share the light of Christ than with a star raising and fireworks?” Welcome 2025 will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 31, in and around the church, 75 E. High St., Elizabethtown.
A chicken barbecue will be served from 3 to 6:30 p.m., featuring Kauffman’s BBQ. Meals will be available to eat in or take out and include a half-chicken, a baked potato, a roll and butter and water. Tickets are available for purchase in advance at the church office, and a limited number of meals will be available at the door. A variety of food, including hot dogs and soup, will be available for free in the church social hall from 3 to 6:30 p.m., and food will also be available for no charge outside from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Outdoor options will include popcorn, hot chocolate and s’mores. At 4 p.m., pastor Michael Reist from St. Mark Lutheran Church in Annville will entertain with a magic show in the church nave. “Ever ybody ’s going to be entertained by him,” said Christ Lutheran pastor A.J. Domines. “He was here in August for our Bible school, and he was great.

star symbolizes the light of Christ. Why would we want to drop it? That’s a negative direction. Everything gets dropped. The star actually hangs in the sky, so we raise it for a more positive direction.” The event also stands out because the new year is celebrated at 7 p.m. rather than midnight. “We count down to the new year at 7 p.m. because that’s the time it’s midnight in the sister city of Elizabethtown, Letterkenny, Ireland,” explained Anderson. Christ Church took over organizing the new year’s celebration in 2014, when the organization that previously coordinated the event stopped doing it. “We found out in November, and we threw something together,” said event chair Phil Clark. “We are a church that does a lot of outreach, and it was important to us to keep this event going. We’ve expanded and improved on it over the years.”

We encourage civic and fraternal groups, schools, churches, Scouting groups, and other local organizations to submit news releases of general interest to the majority of our readership. Primary consideration is given to dated articles of an informative nature–activities and events of local interest sponsored, presented, or planned by area organizations and institutions. Related photographs of good quality are encouraged also, but complete picture identification must be included. Undated articles of general interest are used as space permits. All articles must contain a contact name and telephone number.
He emphasized that it takes a village to pull off such a big event, noting that up to 45 people volunteer to ensure everything runs smoothly. “We really enjoy offering this event for the community,” Clark said. “The only thing we charge for at all is the chicken barbecue because that helps to pay for things like the fireworks and makes it possible to keep doing this year after year.” East High Street in front of the church will be blocked off for the event, and participants are encouraged to use municipal lots in town to park since parking is limited at the church property. A free trolley will transport people from Market Street to the church and back. For more information, call the church office at 717-367-2786 or visit www.christlutheran -etown.com.

“Other Desert Cities” from pg 1 Baitz and set at Christmastime in 2004, the show is still relevant today, said Layne Zeiner, who plays the father, Lyman Wyeth. “The primary divide in the family is between the conservative parents and the liberal children,” he said, noting that his character and his wife, played by his reallife wife, Deb Good-Zeiner, are modeled after Ronald and Nancy Reagan. “Families can be messy, and a lot of that surfaces in this play. The wonderful thing about it is ultimately how it resolves, which I can’t tell you. No spoilers.” The cast features five actors. Good-Zeiner portrays the wife, Polly Wyeth. Libby Casey Stauffer plays the daughter, Brooke Wyeth, and Luke Miller portrays the son, Trip Wyeth. Polly’s sister, Silda Grauman, is also visiting for the
holidays. She’s played by Susan Kresge. “She’s a recovering alcoholic with quite a few non-recovery moments, and her latest has brought her to live with her sister,” Kresge said. “Her sister has had a great life, and Silda has not. They used to be writers together in Hollywood. Her sister made out great because she married a movie star, but things didn’t turn out so great for my character. I’m relying on them to take care of me, because I have no money, but at the same time, I hate that I have to rely on them.” Brooke has returned after a sixyear absence, where she was living an isolated life in a cottage on Long Island. “I’ve had a very challenging and traumatic six years grappling with my own demons,” said Casey Stauffer of her character. “I come
back with this book I’ve written that nobody knows what it’s about.” She noted that while her character is the catalyst forcing the family members to confront their painful past, Miller’s character is the one objective voice in the play. “He’s the one character that kind of sits outside the turmoil,” she explained. “He’s still embedded in it, but he has an outside perspective.” Kleimo said he has enjoyed directing the show because it offers an in-depth look at relationships. “Part of what really drives this play are the different layers of friction between each of the characters,” he stated. “It’s nicely written, because you get a lot of what I called ‘twosies’ when we were rehearsing - a lot of scenes with just two characters on stage
and then a third comes in. You get to see what those relationships are and where they’re coming from. It gives a lot of texture to the show.” And although the show is about one particular family, it features themes relevant to everyone, Good-Zeiner said. “I think people will see their own families in parts of this,” she remarked. “There are so many things that we all as families struggle with at one time or another, and I think audiences will be able to relate to that. More than being about the left and the right, this is a play about family, and I think that’s what audiences will gravitate toward. It’s about a loving, conflicted family.” For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.susquehannastage.com.

a wider audience thanks to two additional acts that performed in the concert as well. Cherry Alley, made up of EAHS students, and a local hip-hop artist who performs under the name WARST4R also entertained. False Alarm’s lineup also includes Adam Crick on bass guitar and Wyatt Stoltzfus on drums. The band has featured this lineup for about a year. “We are a cover band that plays rock music by Foo Fighters, Greta Van Fleet, Paramore, etc.,” said Wyatt, a junior who is the son of Todd and Mandi Stoltzfus of Elizabethtown. “Our band got the name ‘False Alarm’ because Garrett threw a water bottle in school at a fire alarm, and it went off.” Garrett, who is a sophomore and also the son of Neil Messick of Elizabethtown, explained that the water bottle incident occurred after he helped the tech crew at the
middle school musical. “I was throwing an empty plastic water bottle around, threw it towards a trash can and miraculously hit a fire alarm trigger five feet away down the hall,” he recalled. “Long story short, it was a massive accident, interrupted a school pep rally and cemented my throwing skills as some of the worst in the school. So, if you ever see a water bottle on any of our T-shirts or a post online, now you know why.” On Nov. 19, the band members delivered the food and cash collected at the concert to Community Cupboard. Steve Knox, director of Community Cupboard, said he was happy and impressed with the students’ efforts and noted that their donations were greatly needed leading up to the winter. “Donations really decline over See Rocking pg 8
