Area residents who would like to help influence the next generation for the better have an opportunity to serve with Cross JR! The structured mentoring program meets weekly at Blue Ball and Brecknock elementary schools and twice a week at New Holland Elementary.
Julia Bills, mentor and education manager with CrossNet Ministries, oversees the program, which is designed for fourth- and fifth-grade students. Using journal topics, mentors work with students to help build leadership skills and emotional resources while learning about God and doing fun activities. Bills said the program is in need of 10 more volunteers and slots can be filled based on the volunteer’s proximity to the elementary school. Cross JR! meets from 3:15 to 5 p.m. at Blue Ball Elementary each Tuesday, at Brecknock and New Holland elementary
Opportunities to serve
schools each Wednesday, and again at New Holland each Thursday. The program will be held from the week of Oct. 22 through the week of April 29, 2025. According to Julia, each session of Cross JR! begins with the students and mentors together enjoying a snack and completing a puzzle. The ice breaker period
is followed by games and a group time. Each session has a theme such as “I Can Persevere,” “Practice Is Important,” “I Am Loved,” and “I Am Valuable.” “We talk about what to do when things don’t go our way, and we focus on the idea of ‘I’m not good at this yet, and if I work hard, this can help me grow,’” said Julia.
Seeking donations of time and diapers
BY ANN MEAD ASH
The notice from the Bergstrasse Community Clothing Closet (BCCC) that was posted on Sept. 8 on the Terre Hill Kindness Facebook page read in part, “It has been brought to our attention that there is a great need for baby diapers in our community. This would mean so much to some of these families.”
In the same notice, BCCC, which is located in the Bergstrasse Evangelical Lutheran
Church, 9 Hahnstown Road, Ephrata, also asked for volunteer help. Becky Martin, who founded the clothing closet with Pattie Martin in March, said that currently the closet is served by about 12 helpers.
“We can always use volunteers,” said Becky, who noted the organization can be contacted by searching for “Bergstrasse Community Clothing Closet” on Facebook and sending a private message. “We have a group chat for volunteers so we all stay connected,” said Becky.
“The last part is one-on-one time where the student and the mentor work with the journal and do an activity,” said Julia. “If we have time, we do a game at the end before (the students are) picked up by their parents.”
Julia, who accepted her position at CrossNet in February, is originally from Huntingdon.
She came to Lancaster County to attend Lancaster Bible College, where she earned both her undergraduate and master’s degrees in social work. Following school, Julia worked at a foster care agency and then as the social worker for the family emergency shelter at Water Street Mission. She and her husband, Jesse, who

Several years back, Trevor Reed, member of the Rotary Club of Eastern Lancaster County, had an aha moment. Because Reed and fellow Rotary Club member Erin Varley are both in bands, Reed suggested they organize a musical fundraiser.
The idea proved so popular that Reed is now organizing the seventh Rotary Rocks benefit concert. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Lititz Shirt

New cars have been costly for quite some time, so motorists may wonder how they can get more mileage out of their existing vehicles.
Drivers can take the following steps to keep their existing cars running smoothly for years to come.
- Take care of the timing belt. Engines may get all the glory, but they cannot run smoothly without a fully functional timing belt, which helps to synchronize movements of various components. Owner’s manuals may note when to replace the timing belt, but they generally must be replaced every 60,000 to 105,000 miles. Although replacement is required infrequently, drivers can ask their mechanics to keep an eye on their timing belts. During the early months of the
pandemic, many people learned that infrequent driving can cause a timing belt to fail before it reaches the projected mile marker. Aging drivers should keep this fact in mind if they do not drive as much as they used to.
- Take care of the brakes and associated components. The experts at Popular Mechanics urge drivers of older vehicles to replace their brake fluid every two years. Popular Mechanics also advises drivers whose cars are more than seven years old to replace the rubber brake lines when major brake work is required.
- Pay attention to oil levels. The older engines get, the more oil they burn. For this reason, owners of older vehicles should check their oil levels
more often than they would if their vehicles were brand new. These checks also provide a way to discover leaks before they lead to potentially significant issues.
- Don’t skip maintenance appointments. Even if you’re still driving less due to the pandemic, it’s best to keep up with maintenance on any car, especially if the car is older. Routine tune-ups and oil changes, which may need to become more frequent the older the vehicle gets, can keep cars running smoothly and protect the engine over the long haul.
The rising cost of new cars may compel people to keep their cars longer than they might have anticipated. A few simple maintenance measures may help to prolong the life of a vehicle.
Four signs tires need to be replaced
Cars are a significant investment, which underscores the importance of vehicle maintenance. Maintenance is more than just tending to what’s under the hood. Tires also require drivers’ attention, as aging, damaged tires pose a safety risk and also compromise vehicle performance. Tires can be easily overlooked, but the following are four signs tires need to be replaced.
1. Worn tread: The automotive experts at AutoZone note that tread depth is the most prevalent indicator that a tire needs to be replaced. AutoZone notes that tread depth should always be at least 1/16 of an inch throughout the tire. Depth should be measured across the tread and around the circumference. If the tread is at or below 1/16 of an inch, the tire should be replaced.
2. Bulges, gouges, or cracks: Geico notes that a deflated tire bulges at the sides, and that can compromise the safety of everyone in the vehicle. AutoZone says bulges occur when air gets between the inner liner and outer rubber layers, which can happen after hitting a curb or driving over a sizable pothole. A gouge or cut that is deeper than the outer layer of the tire also necessitates replacement.
3. Poor grip: Drivers may be able to feel certain tire problems, including poor grip, while driv -
ing. In such instances, tires may feel as though they are slipping. The tire experts at Firestone note that low tread can reduce tire traction and cause wheels to slip, which may be more noticeable when accelerating from a stop or driving on wet roads. Drivers who feel their tires are slipping can test the tread and replace tires that are low.
4. Vibration: Vibration is another issue drivers may feel rather than see. Identifying the cause requires noting where the vibrations are felt. Geico notes that vibration or thumping that
feels like it’s coming from under the seats may indicate the tires are not balanced. A suspension issue could be to blame if the steering wheel feels like it’s vibrating. Either feeling should be brought to the attention of a mechanic immediately. Tire issues affect vehicle performance and compromise the safety of drivers, their passengers, and fellow motorists. When vehicles are not performing at peak capacity, drivers should not overlook various tire issues as a potential cause of such troubles.

Helen Dorsheimer of Terre Hill volunteers at BCCC with Mike Dorsheimer and Sam Dorsheimer. “We were dropping off stuff from bargain bins and saw that they needed volunteers,” said Helen, who is always on the lookout for volunteer opportunities. “We believed in their mission statement, and it was a good fit,” she added.
“Mike and Helen organize everything,” said Becky, who explained that the mission of BCCC is “free clothing for the community.”“We don’t require income information,” she stated. “My theory is if someone needs it, they know they can come here.” Becky pointed out that working families that are struggling to make ends meet have come to the closet for an outfit for a child or new shoes. BCCC has also provided clothing to nursing home patients in Narvon, and Community Action Partnership preschool students in the Pequea Valley School District.
BCCC provides clothing and shoes for men, women, and children of all sizes, including maternity wear. Accessories such as jewelry and scarves are available, along with toys, games, stuffed animals, and household goods and hygiene supplies. “The Ephrata Lions Club just donated bags with soap, shampoo, and a toothbrush for adults and kids,” she noted.
New and gently used items are accepted whenever BCCC is open. Hours through the end of the year include noon to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, Oct. 5, Nov. 2, and Dec. 7; 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays, Oct. 6 and 20, Nov. 3 and 17, and Dec. 8 and 15. BCCC will also be open during the Bergstrasse Trunk or Treat on Friday, Oct. 25, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Donations are accepted whenever the closet is open. In addition to diapers and volunteers, Pattie noted that there is always a need for children’s shoes.
for clothing, along with the public through online resources and word of mouth. “We are overwhelmed with donations,” said Becky, who added that in late August, the closet set a record of serving 200 people in two hours.
Readers who would like more information about BCCC may search for “Bergstrasse Community Clothing Closet” on Facebook.
One of the rooms BCCC is located in was previously called the cemetery room, and it was used to store flags and graveyard records. Ironically, the founding of the clothing closet was inspired by Pattie’s brush with death. In October 2023, Pattie had a heart attack during which she stopped breathing twice. “When she woke up, she said she wanted to start a clothing closet,” Becky recalled. When Becky learned her place of employment was closing, she turned her efforts to painting the rooms in the church where BCCC is now located. Next, Bergstrasse attendees were asked

ing activities, including working with ladders, ropes, hoses, and fire extinguishers, along with water rescue. “(Rotary Rocks) will (benefit) the 2025 camp,” noted Reed.
“The camp is an opportunity to bring the community together, learn new skills, and recruit students for the future of the fire department and/or emergency services,”said Keiser, adding, “Donations will support the purchase of cadet uniforms,
“We reached out to Garden Spot Fire Rescue (GSFR) and said we would like to support them with Rotary Rocks,” reported Reed. “We met with Chief (Darryl) Keiser.” Reed asked the chief for some thoughts about how GSFR could use the funds. “(Keiser) said the Cadet Camp would be a good recipient. In 2024, about a dozen area young people - ages 10 to 14 - completed the academy-type camp, which is staffed by about 25 GSFR members and features training in aspects and requirements of firefighting and vehicle rescue and exposure to emergency medical training. About 80% of a camper’s time is spent doing hands-on train-

Fairmount book sale still growing strong
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Raising money for the Sharing Fund, which helps cover the $3 million gap between care that is compensated and the actual cost of care Fairmount provides, is a group effort. Kent Richard, vice president of operations, helps out the fund by working with Mitch Hanna, director of marketing, to hold an annual book sale.
The seventh Fairmount book sale will be held on Friday, Oct. 4, from 5 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 5, from 7 to 10 a.m. in the Farm Crest Community Room, 1100 Farm Crest Drive, Ephrata, on the east side of campus. On Oct. 5, books will be marked to half price. The public is invited to attend.
Donations have been pouring in for the sale. “We will have 7,000 to 10,000 books and magazines,” shared Richard. “It’s a lot.”About 50 Fairmount residents help to sort the books into more than 10 categories. Magazines, periodicals, CDs, puzzles, and games will also be offered at the sale.
Sale attendees will find books divided into categories including history and biography, health and nutrition, Christian and non-Christian fiction, hobbies such as gardening and crafts, theology and devotional books and Bible studies, Anabaptist materials, cookbooks, children’s, and young adult books.
Richard noted that children’s books are plentiful this year. “We do have a lot of kids’ books, and we have puzzles and games,” he noted, adding that a large number of books in the Christian theology and biography genre will be available for purchase. “We have an especially strong collection of local history and Anabaptist books,”Richard added.
A few books of special value are included in the sale items. “This book is an autographed copy of ‚ÄòThe Earth is the Lord’s’ by John Landis Ruth (Ruth’s history of the Lancaster Mennonite Conference),” said Richard, who noted that an 1871 book by Menno Simon will be sold.
Richard shared that leftover books will not be thrown away. “At the end of the day, (Fairmount volunteers) pack them up, and we take them to the Re-Uzit Shop of New Holland, so they go to another good cause,” he stated.
According to Richard, the book sale has raised more than $28,000 since its inception. The 2023 sale raised $7,500 for the Sharing Fund. “The books are all donated,” said Richard, who noted that many books are donated by residents when they move to Fairmount, but also that area neighbors bring books for the sale on a yearly basis.
“We have a lot of strong community support,” said Richard.

Reed said that attendees can expect an evening of rock ‘n’ roll. “My band is mostly classic rock, funk, and blues, and we may play a few originals,” explained Reed, who also drums in his church worship band. “Iron Grapes typically plays classic rock,” he added.
Donations for the event will be accepted at the door. There will also be opportunities to donate during the concert, and a silent
auction, featuring up to 10 items, will be held. Readers who would like to donate in advance may visit https://.RotaryRocks2024 .eventbrite.com.
Established as the Rotary Club of New Holland in 1944, the small but active Rotary Club of Eastern Lancaster County works to make an impact in the local community. Reed said he hopes to raise at least $5,000 from this year’s event. More information about the club may be found by searching for “ELANCO Rotary” on Facebook.
