According to Monica DePaul, director of Cavod Theatre’s production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” the musical based on the 1831 Victor Hugo classic contains an important lesson for audience members. “I think they’re going to hear the lesson in such a beautiful way with gorgeous music,” said DePaul, who noted that she expects the more than 40 cast members to be “incredibly engaged and give powerful performances.”
“The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” featuring songs from the Disney animated feature, will be presented at the Cavod Theatre, 641 W. Main St., New Holland, with a dinner theater at 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28. The show will also be performed at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 7; at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturdays, March 1 and March 8; and at 4 p.m. on Sundays, March 2 and 9.
A beautiful lesson
The show opens with the pealing of the bells at the cathedral of Notre Dame in 15th-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer played by Ric Weaver, is kept captive by duplicitous caretaker Dom Claude Frollo, played by Caleb Heckman. When
Quasimodo escapes for a day, he learns about the cruelty of the world outside his bell tower, and is rescued from a dangerous situation by a beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda, played by Jacqui Schaeffer. Quasimodo is drawn to her, but he is not her
only admirer. Both the handsome Captain Phoebus, played by Mitch King, and Frollo are smitten as well, and the three compete for Esmeralda’s favor. When Frollo decides to destroy the Roma, Quasimodo must take action to save his love.
The themes of the show represent a bit of a departure from Cavod’s usual family fare. “We have interesting challenges to find a show that actors will want to be a part of and that audiences want to see and (that meets) the values and standards of Cavod,”

New Holland history - in black and white
BY ANN MEAD ASH
During the cooler seasons, the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) holds monthly presentations at Garden Spot Village (GSV). During February, the plan is to show two movies about the history of New Holland. “It’s time to relive our history to show New Holland was and is a wonderful place to live and raise families,” said NHAHS co-founder Mitch Dissinger, who added that the presentation will give those who
have never seen the films a chance to view them.
“There’s a whole group of people who have never seen them,” he said.
The two black-and-white films - “My Hometown: New Holland” and “Salute to New Holland” - will be shown at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 27, in the chapel at GSV, 433 S. Kinzer Ave., New Holland.
According to Dissinger, the films, which were created in the 1960s by two different Philadelphia television stations, were last shown

“I’m excited to be part of the (CrossNet) annual banquet this year and to celebrate what God has been doing in the ELANCO community,” said Carl Edwards, who was recently named executive director of CrossNet Ministries. Edwards noted that although he always looks forward to the banquets, where he has traditionally
served as master of ceremonies, this event will be unique. “The night will be very special as we celebrate stories of the past and look forward to what God is going to do in the future,” Edwards said.
The theme for the 2025 CrossNet banquet is “Reflections and Horizons,” and the event will be held on Tuesday, March 25, at Shady Maple Banquet Center, 129 Toddy Drive, East Earl. Doors

publicly in 2003 at what was then the Liberty Fire Company Hall in celebration of New Holland’s 275th anniversary. At that time, the reel-to-reel films were also transferred to video tape, and the tapes were sold as a fundraiser. Dissinger explained that “My Hometown,” which was narrated by Clarion owner Scoop Whitmore, was made by WCAU, and “Salute to New Holland” was produced by WFIL. The plan is to pause each film periodically to discuss what is on the screen and the changes in the town since the film was made.

NHAHS co-founder Steve Loewen explained that the television stations made several such films spotlighting small towns in eastern Pennsylvania. “It was like a public affairs thing,” said Loewen, who stated that the films would be shown on the Philadelphia stations on Saturday evenings. “I remember watching them when I was young,” said Loewen, who noted his family would gather in front of the television and point out the local sites included in the films. He recalls recognizing Whitmore’s voice, along with the other speakers in the films. Loewen clearly recalls the opening scene of “My Hometown,” which features a buggy coming down Railroad Avenue, and remembers recognizing his grandparents’ home and the steeple of St. Stephen Reformed Church. “The (film’s background) music was perfect for (that time period),” stated Loewen. “It was a simpler time.”
The narration of “My Hometown” begins with an explanation of why horses pulling buggies are a common sight in New Holland. Scenes of Main Street include the Clarion office and gas stations.
The film mentions the settling of the area in 1728 by John Diffenderfer - leader of the first Lutheran congregation in New Holland - and puts a spotlight on the history of the Kauffman building, which is now the home of NHAHS. Rubinson’s Department Store, a fixture in the town until 1988, and the Farmer’s Bank building on the corner of Main Street and Railroad Avenue will also be recognizable. A discussion of the differing segments of the Plain community, along with information on a number of local businesses, such as the cheese factory and New Holland Machine are included.
“Salute to New Holland” opens with scenes of the New Holland Sales Stables, referring to the town as “spotlessly clean” and having an air of “rural sophistication.” Speakers in the film include Paul Walter, who was then the Trinity Lutheran pastor; the principal of New Holland Elementary School; and community park manager J. Kenneth Herr, who discusses the history of the New Holland Community Memorial Park. The productivity of the Victor F. Weaver plantnow Tyson’s - which then processed 60,000 chickens a day, is mentioned, along with extraordinary weather events from the past. The New Holland Planing Mill is included, and New Holland Machine president George C. Delp speaks about the 25th anniversary of the company, which at that time was a division of Sperry Rand.
The program is free and open to the public. More information about NHAHS may be found at https://nhhistorical.com or by searching for “New Holland Area Historical Society” on Facebook.

will open at 5:15 p.m., and dinner will be served at 6:15 p.m. This year’s speaker will be Meredith Dahl, who served CrossNet for nearly two decades in a variety of roles, most recently as executive director.
Because organizers of this year’s event expect seats to sell out quickly, Edwards encourages those who may not be able to attend to host watch parties at their homes, businesses, or churches. He noted that the cost to obtain the livestream link is lower than the cost to attend in person, and he suggested getting takeout from an area restaurant to support local businesses during the event.
According to Edwards, Dahl will reflect on her journey with CrossNet over the last 17 years. She began her work with the ministry overseeing the youth center and went on to become executive director as CrossNet grew. The ministry now offers a variety of services, including community programs and a food pantry.
“I’m honored to be able to officially ‘pass the baton’ to the new executive director, Carl Edwards,” stated Dahl.
Edwards will speak on the activities the ministry is looking forward to, examining the mission and vision of CrossNet for the future. He will also discuss the renovations of the new CrossNet location at 110 W. Franklin St. “We’re moving forward with that, and I am thrilled,” said Edwards. “We can start to see (what it will look like) now, and it’s great,” said Edwards of the construction that has started in what was an empty warehouse. “They have been floor gutting and trenching for electric. They have been working on reinforcements of the
front façade, and there’s a new roof across the entire space,” said Edwards, who noted that the interior framing has begun. “We will have some photos at the banquet - more than the renderings we have shown the last three years.”
The banquet has always included testimonies from CrossNet clients. “As in the past, we will have stories of life change and impact that reflect our theme,” shared Edwards, who noted that a few new activities will also be part of the event. “We will pause to honor Meredith,” said Edwards. “The team and board will honor her for her 17 years of service.” Another addition will be a time of worship led by a team from LCBC Ephrata. “That’s a different element to our banquet,” said Edwards.
Although leadership is changing at CrossNet, with the passing of the baton from Dahl to Edwards, Edwards made it clear that there will be no change in the purpose of the ministry. “Methods might change, but the message will not,” he stated. “We are laser focused on who we are and what God is allowing us to do in this community.”

Global headwear exhibition posted
The Phillips Museum of Art at Franklin & Marshall College will present the exhibit ”The Global Language of Headwear: Cultural Identity, Rites of Passage, and Spirituality” through Thursday, April 24. The exhibit presents 89 hats and headdresses selected from a private
collection of more than 1,300 pieces of international headwear.
The exhibition features hats from 42 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America, and it is a tribute to the diversity of the world’s cultures. With a few exceptions, the pieces are from the mid- to late 20th century, and many are still worn today in parts of the world for revelry, ritual, and the rhythms of everyday life. They exhibit a profusion of shapes, styles, and materials, as well as the ingenious use of embellishments. The exhibit is organized into
five thematic sections: Cultural Identity; Power, Prestige and Status; Ceremonies and Celebrations; Spiritual Beliefs; and Protection.
The exhibit was curated by Stacey Miller, an independent curator of ethnographic headwear. She has spent more than 30 years collecting and researching the cultural significance of hats and headdresses. Since 2000, she has delivered educational programs, lectured, hosted special events, and curated numerous exhibitions based on her collection. Her long-term vision is to establish a museum of world cultures as a way to promote
cross-cultural interest and understanding.
Museum admission and programs are free. Phillips Museum of Art’s open hours through April 24 will be noon to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays through Sundays except during spring recess, Saturday, March 8, through Sunday, March 16.

Well Spouse explores the nature of caregiving
BY JEFF FALK
Providing care for incapacitated wives and husbands is a huge commitment and an even bigger undertaking. The act can be physically, mentally and emotionally taxing.
But who cares for the caregiver? Oftentimes, that responsibility falls to the caregivers themselves.
Well Spouse Association is a support group that recognizes that caregiving husbands and wives are more effective when they are healthy.
“This is our therapy,” said Barry Applebaum, the founder of the Lancaster chapter of Well Spouse Association. “This is our respite. This is a way to talk to people who know what we’re going through. Sometimes it’s for the friendships that we make.”
“When you become a spousal caregiver, it’s uniquely different,” continued Applebaum. “It has unique challenges. That person was someone you communicated with. ... But it’s not the same person. You learn to love and care in a different way.”
The Lancaster branch of Well Spouse Association meets at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month. The support group for spouses who are taking care of significant others meets via Zoom on the second Wednesday and at Wegmans, 2000 Crossings Blvd., Lancaster, on the fourth Wednesday.
There is a yearly membership fee associated with joining the group.
“Every person’s situation is different,” said Applebaum, a 66-year-old resident of East Lampeter Township. “Our spouses are sick and can’t get out, so the Zoom meeting is convenient. Some people don’t want their spouses to know they’re doing this. It can be threatening. For most of us, the reality is our spouses are (present in this world), but they’re very different. We have to transport them, and some can’t talk well.”
Since its inception about nine years ago, the Lancaster branch of Well Spouse Association has had a membership fluctu -
ating between three and eight spousal caregivers.
The members are caring for spouses who have had strokes, cancer, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and muscular dystrophy.
“The numbers of people
who are spousal caregivers is staggering,” said Applebaum. “We’re this well-kept secret. Some contend that the average senior citizen is a spousal caregiver.”
“You reach a point that we call anticipatory grief where we grieve a loved one who is still here,” he

Extension to offer health-focused training
Penn State Extension has released an updated version of the Walk by Faith train-the-trainer educational program, offered in partnership with the Penn State Cancer Institute. A training for organizations will be offered on Thursday, March 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the basement training room at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.
Walk by Faith is a community-based program designed to encourage a healthy lifestyle that includes walking, with the goal of helping participants become more physically active and reduce their cancer risk. The program can be tailored to fit the needs and wants of the community where it is being presented.
During the program, participants set and track personal health goals, supplemented by educational sessions intended to provide additional
motivation and support. The toolkit offers resources for educational and motivational presentations, guidance for setting healthy lifestyle and activity goals, and group activities to encourage physical activity and healthy eating.
The curriculum writers noted that local community organizations implementing the program can reach individuals of various education levels, employment types, and incomes. These community organizations also can provide social support and reinforcement to members, especially if they share a common goal of wanting to change health behaviors.

Well Spouse
added. “For many of us, when a spouse does pass, we grieve extensively. But others come to terms with it quickly because they’ve already grieved. People reach a point where they can’t (give care) anymore.”
In 2011, Applebaum’s wife, Susanne, an otherwise healthy 50-year-old dental hygienist, experienced a massive stroke.
After attending Well Spouse Association meetings near King of Prussia; Cherry Hill, N.J.; and Baltimore, Applebaum decided to start a chapter closer to home.
“Our lives have never been the same since (the stroke),” said Applebaum. “We were going to travel and live our lives. But it was all taken away from us. When you have no choice, you do what you have to do. I went for counseling, but at the end of the day, being around people who get it was more thera -

peutic. We are dealing with our (spouse’s) own specific disabilities, but we understand and support each other. We understand what we go through day to day.”
Headquartered in Freehold, N.J., Well Spouse Association was founded in 1988, and the organization assists more than 25 support groups.
“There was a point with my wife where I was doing everything and I burned out, and I ended up with my own health issues,” said Applebaum. “I want to maintain a sense of who I am. (Well Spouse) keeps me in a world where I talk to people, and it keeps me relevant. We all go through these cycles. We have good weeks, and we have bad weeks. When I’m feeling down, I realize some people have it worse.”

said DePaul, who added that while she loves lighthearted and fun shows, Cavod also endeavors to present cautionary tales. “There’s a time and place for shows that will make you think, and this show is more that,” explained DePaul, referring to the age-13-and-up recommendation for children attending. “The theme is that we are all capable of beautiful, wonderful things, but also of terrible things,” she said. “When we forget that, we’re in trouble.”
One challenge of staging the show was discerning the best set presentation. “(We had the problem of) how to create a cathedral, bell tower, city streets, a tavern,” said DePaul. To solve that issue, an unusual triangular staging was utilized. “To do set changes, we will have a three-sided set piece that will be turned,” she explained. “The actors will be part of the story telling,
from pg 1
explaining where we are as they move the set pieces.”
DePaul noted that a choir will provide the soundtrack of what is happening on stage. “It’s very traditional - as if you went to Catholic Mass in the 1400s,” said DePaul, who noted that choir members have risen to the challenge of learning the Latin lyrics.
According to DePaul, the goal is to convey the lesson contained within the show by using the set, actors, and music to the fullest extent. “We are utilizing the set and the theater to immerse the audience in the storytelling in a way I don’t think we’ve ever done,” she noted, adding that actors will be singing and dancing through the aisles and doing the set changing. “I think it will be interesting and beautiful to watch.”
