Organists compete at event

The Harrisburg Chapter of the American Guild of Organists (AGO) hosted a competition for young organists in the mid-Atlantic region on April 15 in Hershey. This competition is named for Violette Cassel, a former chapter member who established a fund to provide local competitions.

The first-place winner of the competition is Jacob Gruss, a sophomore at The Juilliard School, New York City, studying in the studio of

Paul Jacobs. A native of Pittsburgh, Gruss developed his musical interest through his teachers and church positions. In high school, he was the director of music at Otterbein United Methodist Church and student organist at St. Michael the Archangel Parish.

Currently, Gruss serves as organ scholar at Hitchcock Presbyterian Church, Scarsdale, N.Y. He is the recipient of the AGO’s Pogorzelski-Yan-

Summer camp preparation tips

Summer camp season will soon be here. Throngs of children will board buses each morning or pack their parents’ cars full of essentials to survive a few weeks away from home. Families getting prepared for camp may consider the following suggestions to ensure that kids have an enjoyable time away.

When selecting a camp, parents may want to find out if the camp is accredited. To receive accreditation, camps must meet more than 300 standards related to program quality, safety, and health, according to the American Camp Association.

A child’s readiness also should be considered. There is no magic age when a child will be ready to go to camp, but generally, kids who are ages 7 or 8 may be able to start a resident sleep-away camp. Kids may begin day camp as early as age 3, the same age many kids begin attending preschool. Parents should consider whether the child has spent time away from home at friends’ or family members’ houses; without these preparatory experiences, kids might be better off attending a day camp. Parents are encouraged to

enable children to connect with fellow campers. If possible, attend a meet-and-greet prior to the start of the season. Neighborhood day camps tend to draw kids from local communities, so there is already a chance kids will know a few fellow campers.

Once at camp, kids should introduce themselves to camp counselors and other program directors early on, and kids are urged to ask questions about specific programs. Counselors can direct campers toward activities they may enjoy.

Much of summer camp will likely be smooth sailing, but it is reasonable to expect some bumps along the way. Campers should not expect perfection, but instead, if something goes awry, they should use the situation as a learning experience on how to handle adversity and try to find the fun in it anyway. Even a medical situation can be overcome, particularly because camps staff qualified medical personnel to ensure children are safe and well.

Summer camp can be a great experience, especially when families take pre-camp measures aimed at ensuring kids have a fun season.

kee Memorial Scholarship, as well as the organization’s 2022-23 Student Commissioning Project. Gruss will advance to compete in the AGO’s regional competition, which will be held in White Plains, N.Y., in July.

The second-place winner of the Harrisburg competition is Ethan Draper, an organist and pianist studying music education and sacred music/organ at Lebanon Valley College (LVC), Annville. He has stud-

ied organ with Brenda Day and now studies with Shelly Moorman-Stahlman at LVC.

Draper is currently a choral scholar at Market Square Presbyterian Church in Harrisburg. He has performed in both recital and church settings and frequently accompanies the church’s choir. He received the Service Playing Certification from the AGO.

Rock Ford exhibit examines decorative arts

Historic Rock Ford, 881 Rockford Road, Lancaster, has announced a new Focus Exhibit in the Snyder Gallery for its 2023 season. The exhibit is “The Market Town and the Metropolis: 18th-Century Lancaster and Its Artistic Connections to Philadelphia.”

Throughout most of the 18th century, Philadelphia remained the largest city in the American colonies and then in the fledgling United States. In many ways, it was America’s political, financial and cultural epicenter. During this same period, the borough of Lancaster was one of the largest noncoastal towns in America and was closely tied to Philadelphia both commercially and culturally. In addition to serving as a source of raw materials, food and supplies for Philadelphia as well as an important market for its elegantly crafted goods, Lancaster, through which passed the “great wagon road,” increasingly came to serve as Philadelphia and its port’s gateway to western settlement. This already strong connection was both manifested by and strengthened with the completion of the Lancaster-Philadelphia Turnpike in 1794, the first long-distance macadam road in the new United States.

With Lancaster’s growing affluence and stronger ties to Philadelphia as the 18th century progressed, the connections between both in the fields of the decorative arts increasingly flourished. Lancaster furniture makers developed unique styles that, while clearly influenced by Philadelphia artisans, did not merely mimic them. Artisans, such as furniture makers Thomas Tufft and Peter Frick, worked in both Lancaster and in

Philadelphia. Examples of works attributed to both men will be included in this exhibit and demonstrate influences from both Philadelphia and Lancaster.

The exhibit will also highlight local tastemakers who were exposed to new styles through their personal connections to Philadelphia and brought these styles to Lancaster. The exhibit will include a rare, late 18thcentury Philadelphia Chippendale camelback sofa believed to have belonged to Judge Jasper Yeates; the sofa is part of a private family collection and has never before been publicly exhibited.

Also included among Lancaster County tastemakers were affluent persons who had their portraits painted in Philadelphia. The exhibit features a portrait of Lancaster County Judge Henry Slaymaker by John Hesselius and a portrait of Henry’s wife, Faithful Richardson Slaymaker, by John’s father, Gustavus Hesselius, an early Swedish immigrant to Philadelphia. These portraits are also part of a private collection and have not been publicly exhibited since 1971 at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

The Richard C. von Hess Foundation is the Founding Sponsor for this exhibit. This exhibit is also funded in part through a grant approved by the Americana Corner Preserving America Grant Program.

Admission to the 2023 Focus Exhibit is included with the purchase of an admission ticket. This Focus Exhibit will run through Tuesday, Oct. 31.

Strategies to foster reading

Many adults feel there is no better way to relax than curling up with a good book. Although a relaxing afternoon of reading may appeal to adults, some kids are more reluctant to crack open a book. Children have much to gain from reading and being read to. According to the Children’s Bureau of Southern California, a nonprofit organization devoted to strengthening vulnerable children, their families and the communities

WAA frompg 9

Throughout the year, the WAA TEACH program provides educational opportunities for people nationwide to engage with veterans in their communities. In 2022, WAA launched a kindergarten through 12th-grade curriculum that is aligned with the National Council on Social Studies and state Common Core standards. The free, downloadable lesson plans aim to ensure stories of service, sacrifice, and valor are

where they live, reading aloud to children supports their cognitive development, improves their language skills, prepares them for academic success, increases their discipline and ability to concentrate, and improves their imagination and creativity.

Parents can try several strategies to encourage kids to read more.

Parents of young readers or children learning to read undoubtedly know that chil-

dren like to read the same book over and over again. Although that might not engage moms and dads, experts note that allowing kids to read the same books multiple times is an effective way to foster a love of reading in children. Kids are more likely to enjoy reading if they recognize more words and can better understand the stories, so parents can encourage kids to re-read books.

passed down to future generations while building good character and self-worth through service to others.

WAA also launched its first Youth Service Project in 2022, when students participated in an oral history project that involved interviewing veterans.

When the family is traveling by car, children may often watch movies on an electronic device. Reading may be a suitable alternative activity for children who are not prone to motion sickness. On long road trips, parents can promise a movie after kids have read for a set amount of time. Parents may also consider storing a couple of books or magazines in the back seat so they are on hand whenever parents run errands with the kids in tow.

Another way to encourage young readers to pick up a book more often is to praise their efforts even if they struggle with words. Patience can go a long way toward instilling a love

Summer reading programs sponsored by local libraries have been found to be conducive to promoting reading in young children. In its report titled “The Role of Public Libraries in Children’s Literacy Development,” the Pennsylvania Library Association indicated that preschool and summer reading programs encourage children to spend significant amounts of time with books and also encourage parents to play a greater role in their children’s literacy development. Participation in such programs is typically free of charge.

Reading benefits children in myriad ways, and parents can employ various strategies to foster a love of reading in their children.
