“We decided to give it a twist so it would be a little more fun,” said Nina Evans, assistant Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 64, speaking about the addition of an ugly Christmas sweater theme to the troop’s annual Breakfast With Santa. Attendees are invited to wear their favorite obnoxious pullovers and cardigans to the meal, which will be held on Saturday, Dec. 8, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Salem United Church of Christ, 2312 Marietta Ave., Rohrerstown. Awards in a variety of categories will be given to those wearing festive sweaters. Other festive elements of the event will include egg nog toasts every halfhour, visits with Santa beginning at about 9 a.m., and free crafts for children. Santa’s Workshop will offer reasonably

priced items that youngsters may buy and have gift-wrapped. Additionally, the troop will collect items for Toys for Tots, and there will be opportunities for attendees to make holiday greeting cards for deployed Marines. The allyou-can-eat meal will include pancakes, eggs, and breakfast meat - which this year will be bacon and possibly others. Beverages such as juice, hot chocolate, coffee, and tea will also be available. There is a cost to attend the breakfast, with separate prices for adults, for children ages 6 to 12, and for youngsters age 5 and under. Some of the proceeds will go to the individual Scouts’ trip accounts. The troop will attend the World Scout Jamboree at a High Adventure camp in West Virginia in 2019. “We will visit for several days to experience the event and meet Scouts from other countries,” said Scoutmaster Pat Evans. “We will also do See Santa Breakfast pg 7

step into the magic mirror and visit this town where life is good. Wolfer said that musical performances for this portion of the show will be set to the songs “Happy” and “The Best Day of My Life.” However, all is not perfectly well in the town of royalty and heroes. “We rarely stop to think about the struggles these heroes may have,” said Wolfer. “Every princess is searching for her prince, and how does she know that he loves her for who she really is?” Wolfer said one of the princesses in the show will skate to Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know?” “ We are showing another side of (the princesses),” explained Wolfer. “They are not sure how the public perceives them, and they are a little insecure. They’re going through what a lot of teens go through.”

The 2018 soloists will include Manheim Township High School student Katelyn Young, Lancaster Catholic High School student Erin Regan, Hempfield High School students Courtney Meyers and Ellamay Cassidy, Red Land High School student Makayla Robitaille, and Lancaster Mennonite High School student Dulce Shenk-Zeager. For the story of “Mirror Mirror,” Wolfer reflected on the themes of two Disney Channel movies - “Descendants,” which tells the tale of children of storybook villains, and “Zombies,” a musical that pits zombies and humans against each other in a high school setting. According to Wolfer, the story of “Mirror Mirror” begins in a lovely village filled with princes, princesses, and heroes. Audience members will be welcomed to

No village of princes and princesses would be complete without a ball, so the town hosts a big party. The fete, however, is interrupted by uninvited guests when zombies and the storybook villlains’ descendants arrive. The arrival of these characters shakes things up in the town, according to Wolfer. Preconceived notions and stereotypes are questioned as the characters consider the implications of living life differently. “The ‘Descendants’ characters question whether they can try being good,” said Wolfer, adding that the princesses and heroes consider whether they should retaliate for the unkindness they have experienced. “We end the act with a lot of questions,” said Wolfer, who noted that the last number will be skated to Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.” Wolfer noted that when the second half of the story opens, the town will be segregated. “The

The Jingle Bell Ring, under the auspices of the Stafford Regional Handbell Society and Central Pennsylvania Handbell Festival, will take place on Saturday, Dec. 15, from 11:15 to 11:45 a.m. and from 1 to 1:30 p.m. at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square and Lancaster County Convention Center, 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster, during the Visit With Santa event. The Jingle Bell Ring is a massed ringing event for handbell players held in December. Groups of musicians will perform holiday music

for a public audience. Audience admission is free, though attendees are encourage to bring nonperishable food items to be donated to Autumn’s Food Pantry at the Emerald Foundation. Needed items include healthy breakfast cereals, oatmeal, canned vegetables and fruits, spaghetti and sauce, stovetop meals, canned chicken and tuna, personal care items, canned milk, and canned and dried soups. Any experienced handbell ringer may participate in this event. Ringers must provide their

own two bells. Ringers are encouraged to wear festive holiday colors and attire or head gear like a Santa or elf hat. There is a registration fee to participate, and each registrant will receive a songbook at registration. If they wish to keep the songbook, they may purchase the music and their registration fee will be refunded. All of the arrangements are diatonic to the key of C and require three octaves of natural bells from C4 to C7. Each song is two pages so there are no page turns, and the songs are written to

good and evil live together, but not really,” she said. “We look at Zombieville, and there’s a cheerleading number … but the zombies aren’t allowed to take part.” Members of the town dream of a place where all its citizens can be who they are and live and work together in appreciation of each other’s differences. Wolfer skated with Disney on Ice for several years, and she has brought her professional experience to the choreography of the show. “In our finale number, we bring in every age and level skater on the ice together for a number,” she said. “ We do a giant pinwheel with this mixed group. (This display) is almost a signature of our shows.” Readers who wish to purchase tickets to the show may email Lynne@rrfsc.org. Tickets for certain seating areas will be discounted. Children age 2 and under who sit on a caregiver’s lap will be admitted free. be played entirely off the table. Each musician will be responsible for only two bells.

Once participation is confirmed, ringers should arrive at the hotel/convention center by 10 a.m. with their registration fee, two bells and a music stand.

Donegal Presbyterian To Host Christmas Market

Hempfield School District will present the third annual Hempfield Holiday Shoppe student craft show on Friday, Dec. 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Franklin Gym at Hempfield High School, 200 Stanley Ave., Landisville. Students from the Hempfield School District have been preparing for the event by making a variety of holiday gifts. The event will support district mini businesses operated by students who are learning real-world skills through the experience.

By Chelsea Peifer

Upcycled items will make up just one portion of the selection of handmade products at this year’s Christmas Market at Donegal Presbyterian Church, 1891 Donegal Springs Road, Mount Joy. Organizer Kristi Elkner said that the definition of upcycle is to reuse discarded objects or materials to create a product of a higher quality or value than the original. “I love that. Taking something that someone might not use anymore and making it into lots of new things people can use,” Elkner remarked. Elkner compared the process of upcycling to the beloved children’s book “Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree.” In it, author Robert E. Barry tells the story of a Christmas tree that is too tall to fit in Mr. Willowby’s parlor, so he cuts off and discards the top only for that tree to travel and get shortened again and again to be placed into the homes of families of bears, rabbits, and mice. In a similar fashion, Elkner gave the example of how people from Donegal Presbyterian - ranging in age from 9 to 87 - upcycled gently worn shirts and clothing into aprons, napkins, tote bags, and sachets that will be available to purchase at the Christmas Market. Even the buttons from the shirts were utilized for other projects. Old sheet music was transformed into holiday ornaments and decorative items. “It’s just one thing that keeps on going,” said Elkner. This year’s event is set to take

Elkner noted that in planning for the event, which takes place every other year, organizers aim to ensure that the bulk of the selection will be new items while

still including a few favorites from past years. Christmas crackers, for instance, were a previous hit that will be back. The crackers consist of a short cardboard tube wrapped in colorful paper and twisted at both ends to use as stocking stuffers or gift toppers.

The Library System of Lancaster County is discontinuing the Telephone Renewal Service that allows library users to renew their books and other library items by a designated telephone number. The service will be discontinued on Monday, Dec. 31. The decision to terminate the service was made due to outdated software and a decline in usage. Despite the discontinuation of this service, library borrowers still have three ways to renew their items: through their online library account, at any of the libraries’ circulation desks, or by calling any local public library in Lancaster County.

Landis Homes To Host “Sing For The Moment”

R025613

By Ann Mead Ash

705 Graystone Road, Manheim 17545 On the Bloodmobile.

Clair Leaman of New Holland has conducted “Messiah” SingAlong concerts for more than 20 years. Faith Hoover, director of Adult Day Services and coordinator of the Memory Loss Support Group at Landis Homes, attends the “Messiah” Sing-Alongs. Hoover thought that if Leaman had the skills and flexibility to conduct the sing-alongs, which are performed without previous rehearsals, he might be an ideal person to conduct a concert that brings together Alzheimer’s patients who have an interest in singing. Hoover approached Leaman following a sing-along, and he agreed to conduct. The result is the “Sing for the Moment” Holiday Concert, which will be held at Landis Homes in the West Bethany Chapel, 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lititz, on Sunday, Dec. 2, at 2 p.m. Admission is free, and the public is welcome to attend. Leaman said that the concert will include seven well-known Christmas carols such as “Joy to the World,” “Silent Night,” “Away

in a Manger,” and “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” in addition to one popular show tune. “We will be singing … ‘My Favorite Things,’” noted Leaman, who has enlisted the handbell choir from St. Stephen Reformed Church of New Holland to participate. “The handbell choir will play three or four pieces,” said Leaman. Choir members come with their caregivers from all around the county. Leaman said that the caregivers also participate in the rehearsals, which are held on Wednesday mornings at Landis Homes. Leaman said that rehearsals begin with light refreshments and a social time prior to practicing the material. All choir members use the words to the songs, which have been printed in a special “Sing for the Moment” choir book created for the group. “Students from Conestoga Christian School decorated the pages,” said Leaman, who added that the book includes 19 musical pieces. According to Leaman, the group includes up to four tenors, a couple of basses, and some altos. Those who know

their parts sing them, but no music is provided at this point. Kim Enck, a caregiver who is a choir participant with her husband, said that the weekly rehearsals are a blessing to them. “As a spouse of one living with dementia, one can understand that this disease has so changed the dynamics of our relationship, but not the love,” she said. “(Choir rehearsals are) one activity, of only a few as his memory continues to diminish, that we both can enjoy in the moment. To me, (that) is huge.” Shelby Swartley, a social worker with Lancaster General Health Penn Medicine Alzheimer’s and Memory Care Program, said that participating in the choir can renew family connections and have positive effects on the patients. “One of the greatest benefits of the choir is the joy that it brings both persons with dementia and their family members as they sing together,” she said. “Music touches persons in ways that a lot of other experiences don’t, (so) while they may not recall the event later in the day, the

positive emotional feelings from experiencing music goes with them throughout the day.” Hoover is delighted that the opportunity to take part in “Sing in the Moment” is available to people with memory loss and their care partners. “The (joyful moments) that all of us ex perience in singing together are moments to cherish,” she noted. Leaman is glad he agreed to conduct the choir. “I am thrilled to be able to do this,” he said. “I am learning as I am going.” Leaman is especially pleased with the effects he sees rehearsals having on the group. “The choir members are all engaged when they’re singing,” he said. Individuals who would like more information about the concert or choir participation may contact Candy Yingling at the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter by calling 717-568-2595, ext. 1100, or emailing cyingling@alz.org. For information in the case of inclement weather, readers may call 717-569-3271 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Conestoga resident Linda Funk became interested in the process of spinning fibers into yarn thanks to family connections. Her husband’s grandfather had pieces of a spinning wheel in his attic, but after the younger man fished it out and assembled it, they discovered that a few pieces were missing. The wheel was relegated to a corner, where it sat for years. Then, while Funk was visiting historic Jamestown, she saw a woman using a spinning wheel and struck up a conversation. The woman referred Funk to Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum, where she connected with Bill Mast, who made the missing parts, got the wheel functioning, and taught Funk the basic spinning techniques. Funk went home and began woolgathering. That is, she went into the fields where she had pastured sheep and collected the pieces that fell off the animals following shearing. Then she spun her first yarn. “It was the most awful stuff,” Funk recalled with a rueful laugh. Funk bought prepared fiber and soon learned to spin yarn she liked. Meanwhile, she joined the board of the fledgling Conestoga Area Historical Society (CAHS). “ When (the museum) first opened, everybody on the board was going to do something, so I

Christmas became a religious holiday and a secular holiday.” Until sometime in the 20th century, only Episcopalians, German Lutherans, German Reformed, and Moravians celebrated Christmas. Thus, Christmas would not have been observed in the log house built for the Quaker Atkinsons. The same would have been true of the Harnish House, which was the home of Mennonites. Hoak noted that both structures were built by Germans. The Atkinson House has the same floor plan as the Hans Herr House in Willow Street, and the Harnish House is one of only six Sweitzer bank houses in existence in Lancaster and Berks counties today. “It’s pure Germanic architecture. There are no stairs to the

volunteered to spin,” Funk said. “I sat on the porch of the Atkinson House and later on the second floor of the Harnish House because they didn’t have this,” she added, gesturing to the row of workshops in the museum that highlight fiber arts, tinsmithing, pottery, and other practical arts. “There is so much history in here. If you want to start collecting, this is the place to come to see what you don’t have because we have it.” Funk now owns spinning wheels made in Lancaster County in 1802 and 1808 by S. Humes. When re-enacting, she dresses to match in garb worn in the very early 1800s, but during demonstrations at CAHS events, she spins colored fibers so visitors are not confused by the cream-colored drive bands on her wheels. Members of the public may observe Funk and other artisans in action during the Early American Candlelight Christmas event that will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, at the museum, 51 Kendig Road, Conestoga. The paths among the buildings on the site will be lighted by lanterns and luminarias. The structures themselves will be decorated in the style of a mid19th-century Pennsylvania German Christmas. “Technically, before the Civil War, there would have been practically nothing (in the way of Christmas decorations),” said CAHS curator Ken Hoak. “Only the fancy Germans celebrated Christmas. After the Civil War,

St. Anne School recently presented its Third-Grade Historical Wax Museum. Historical figures including Walt Disney, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Sacagawea were brought to life by the thirdgraders as they presented memorized biographies. The students had been working for the previous two months on the project, which is the creation of thirdgrade teacher Karen Henry. Henry noted that the project allowed students to learn about historical figures, while also practicing public speaking, creating a research report, and using their artistic abilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a project that touched on many areas of our curriculum, and it made history come to life in a fun and creative way,â&#x20AC;? said Henry. The students were each required to read a book from the Penguin Books â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who Was?â&#x20AC;? series, which tells the stories of trailblazers, legends, innovators, and creators. The

students wrote and memorized a paragraph highlighting the important details of their subjectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. To showcase their artistic ability, students worked in class to create a background mural for their figure. The final step was for students with the help of their parents - to create a costume for their characters to wear in the wax museum. The wax museum was constructed in the gym with students having their own designated areas with their murals behind them. Students stood behind podiums with â&#x20AC;&#x153;playâ&#x20AC;? buttons, and as parents, faculty, and fellow students visited the museum and pressed the play buttons, the third-graders recited the biographic information about their subjects. This is the third year for the wax museum project, which has become a favorite activity for the third-graders.

Haunted Lantern Tour To Return With “Mortality Within” in” By Chelsea Peifer

Sara Mimnall and Rebecca Wright chose the theme of “Mortality Within” for Columbia’s Haunted Lantern Tour this year because they wanted to introduce people to a not-often-talked-about aspect of the rivertown’s history. The theme will focus on the disease and poverty that struck Columbia and other communities in earlier days, discussing the presence of pesthouses and sanitariums and how much things have changed. “It shows how people suffered more than they had to because they didn’t have the

like we do now,” noted Mimnall. “It will also touch on the Great Depression and how the lack of food (and resources) can change people,” Wright added. Popular characters from past years will also reappear, Wright said, such as William Campbell, a local trapper who died from rabies and is buried in Columbia’s historic Mount Bethel Cemetery. History abounds in the cemetery and the town, and according to Mimnall and Wright, while spooky elements are intertwined on the tour, history is indeed the emphasis. The hourlong guided tours will take place on Friday and Saturday

John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 23 S. Sixth St., Columbia. Tours will step off every half hour beginning at 6:30 p.m., with the last tour starting at 9:30 p.m. Participants will follow guides to Locust Street and through a loop in the Mount Bethel Cemetery before returning to the church. To purchase tickets, interested individuals may call 717-517-2442. A specific tour time will be designated when tickets are reserved. Organizers strongly encourage people to order tickets in advance.

Partnering with the geography department, students have begun to survey and collect data about services throughout the county. The results of this environmental scan will be mapped and shared with key stakeholders upon completion. The county board of commissioners supported the concept of the Age-Friendly program at its July 10 work session. Lancaster County Office of Aging’s executive director, Lon Wible, recommended that the commissioners consider applying for designation as an AgeFriendly County after Millersville University completes its environmental scan. Lancaster Downtowners and Landis Communities committed to help the City of Lancaster launch its five-year Cycle of AgeFriendly Continual Improvement. Presented by councilman Ismail Smith-Wade-El, the Lancaster City Council unanimously endorsed applying for AgeFriendly designation at its Oct. 9 meeting. Matt Johnson, the mayor’s chief of staff, will be coordinating the city’s application through AARP, WHO’s U.S. affiliate. There is no application fee to apply to join the GNAFCC, and there are no membership fees. More information about the GNAFCC is available at www.AgeFriendlyWorld.org.

Tabor Community Services recently achieved national reaccreditation through the Council on Accreditation (COA) for the fifth consecutive time. Organizations pursue accreditation to demonstrate the implementation of best practice standards in the field of human services. COA evaluated all aspects of Tabor’s programs, services, management, and administration. Tabor has been accredited since 1998. COA accreditation is an objective, independent validation of an agency’s performance. The process involves a detailed review and analysis of an organization’s administration, management, and service delivery functions as compared to international standards of best practice. The standards driving accreditation are designed

to ensure that services are wellcoordinated, culturally competent, evidence-based, outcomesoriented, and provided by a skilled and supported workforce. To achieve COA reaccreditation, Tabor first provided written evidence of compliance with the COA standards. After that, a group of specially trained volunteer peer reviewers confirmed adherence to these standards during a series of on-site interviews with trustees, staff, and clients. Based on their findings, COA’s volunteer-based Accreditation Commission voted that Tabor Community Services had successfully met the criteria for reaccreditation. For the past 50 years, Tabor has been helping clients learn how to meet their housing and financial

challenges, rebuild their lives, and contribute to the strength of the Lancaster community in the process. Tabor’s comprehensive array of programs and services include rapid re-housing for those experiencing homelessness, rental counseling to prevent homelessness, transitioning sheltered persons to permanent housing, supportive housing, budget counseling, financial literacy education, consumer credit counseling, first-time homebuyer counseling, default mortgage counseling, counseling to achieve financial self-sufficiency, and matched savings accounts to help low-income families save for purchasing assets such as a home or education.

CASA Information Session Planned School Holds Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lancaster County is recruiting volunteers. With November being National Adoption Month, community members are encouraged to support the thousands of children across the country in need of permanent families by becoming a CASA. A CASA volunteer is a trained citizen age 21 or up who is appointed by a judge to represent the best interest of a child in court. The children that CASA volunteers advocate for have been abused or neglected and placed into the foster care system. CASA volunteers work to help ensure a safe and permanent home for the child as quickly as possible. The process to become a CASA volunteer advocate is multistep and includes an interview, training and shadowing. This process equips CASA volunteer advocates to work alongside youths who

are in foster care. According to the organization, older youths who are served by a CASA are more likely to set goals for their future and have clear ideas about how to achieve them and are less likely to be homeless, in trouble, or in jail. CASA will hold a Tuesday, Dec. 18, information session from noon to 1 p.m. at Paul Davis Restoration, 1816 Olde Homestead Lane, Lancaster, for its winter 2019 training class beginning in February. CASA information sessions are an hourlong introduction and overview of the role of a CASA volunteer advocate. Attending an information session is a required first step in applying to the program. The session will be free and open to the public, though reservations are required due to limited seating. To reserve a seat, readers may contact CASA at 717-208-3280 or casa@casalancaster.org.

Golf Outing Resurrection Catholic School held its annual golf outing on Sept. 11 at Meadia Heights.

Lancaster City Council took the next step toward receiving the World Health Organization’s (WHO) designation as an AgeFriendly City by unanimously approving a resolution supporting the city’s application to join the Global Network of AgeFriendly Cities and Communties (GNAFCC.) The seeds for the GNAFCC were planted in 2007 when WHO published “A Guide to Age-Friendly Cities.” This study suggests eight areas that support an active and healthy environment for all ages; these include housing, transportation and health services, civic participation, employment, respect and social inclusion. From the 33 cities initially involved in the study, the network has now grown to 705 cities and communities in 39 countries. Unlike many designations that require certain milestones to first be achieved, the Age-Friendly designation is aspirational. It signifies the municipality’s intention to

MERCHANDISER - Hempfield Edition -

A Mix Of Nostalgic And New History And Fun - Rolled Into One By Chelsea Peifer

Driving through downtown Manheim’s historic Market Square during the holiday season has a way of evoking all the warm feelings of an old-fashioned Christmas, from the twinkly lights to the enormous tree and the decorated businesses and homes. This year, people will have the chance to see the inside of one of the stunning homes in the square, as well as five others throughout Manheim, as part of the Women’s Club of Manheim (WCM) Holiday Tour of Homes on Sunday, Dec. 2, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. The iconic Georgian Revival mansion at 2 N. Charlotte St., owned by Ben and Kami Deppen and home to Big Dream Creative Art Studio, will be one of the tour stops fully decorated for the season. The property once served as the site of Baron Henry William Stiegel’s office and storage building, but in 1910 the buildings were razed. Cigar manufacturer and men’s clothing store owner Clayton Gibble built the home, complete with eye-catching features such as two-story fluted columns, oculus windows, and a belvedere. Additions were made to the back of the house in 1949 by J. Harvey Spahr, who also enclosed a two-story porch at the back of the main building. The Deppens are currently in the process of restoring the interior and exterior of the home while aiming to maintain its architectural integrity. Tourgoers can expect a variety of whimsical holiday decorations to reflect the

heart of the creative studio and its artistic atmosphere. In addition to 2 N. Charlotte St., the 2018 tour will include the residences of Brad and Stephanie Kochenour, 626 Hamaker Road; Doug and Whitney Metzler, 2669 N. Colebrook Road; JP and Michele Perron, 210 S. Penn St.; and Matt and Laurie Olsen, 4004 Cranberry St. The Fasig House, 30 E. High St., will also be a stop on the tour. Discounted tickets for the tour are available in advance from any WCM member or at the following Manheim locations: Shaub’s Dry Cleaning, 22 S. Main St.; Longenecker’s Hardware, 127 Doe Run Road; and Divine Consign, 37 Market Square. Full-price tickets will be available on the day of the event at any of the stops on the tour. Tour chairperson Karen Lewis noted that the tour is intended to inspire new ideas and celebrate the season, as well as to support the WCM’s various projects in Manheim. All proceeds from the home tour will be used for community projects in Manheim, such as the upcoming Secret Santa gift distribution. Each year WCM members shop for surprise Christmas gifts for children in need in the Manheim Central School District. Guidance counselors help to coordinate the effort so that families can remain anonymous, and each child fills out of a wish list with three needs and three wants. For more information on the home tour, readers may contact the Manheim Chamber of Commerce at 717-665-6330, visit www.manheimchamber.com, or find “ Women’s Club of Manheim” on Facebook.

The Women’s Club of Manheim, represented by (from left) Carol Barnett, Susan Ford, Karen Lewis, and Ruth Ann Martin, will host its annual Holiday Tour of Homes for the community on Dec. 2.

Landis Valley To Host “Days of the Belsnickel” By Ann Mead Ash

Perhaps the name Belsnickel is familiar? Maybe local residents have heard the name, but the characteristics of the Germanic character are murky. “The Belsnickel should not be confused with a jolly old Saint Nick,” noted Stephanie Celieberti, lead guide with Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum. “He or she is (also) not an anti-Santa Claus.” Rather, according to Celieberti, the Belsnickel traditionally was a real person, actually a villager who disguised himself or herself with furs, bells, and soot so as not to be recognized by the children. “Every Belsnickel carried a switch and a bag full of nuts, candies, and fruits,” explained Celieberti. “Before Christmas, the Belsnickel would travel to the children’s homes in the village.” Celieberti noted that because the Belsnickel was a fellow villager, he or she knew which children were good or bad and could bring up examples of the children’s behaviors over the last year. “Bad children received a slap from the switch, and good children received some treats,” said Celieberti. Landis Valley celebrates the legend of the Belsnickel when it holds the annual Days of the Belsnickel lunch and dinner tours at the village and farm

museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster. The dinner will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 4, from 5:30 to 9 p.m., and the lunch will take place on Saturday, Dec. 8, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The events, which have been celebrated for a decade at the museum, attract up to 50 people for each gathering. Each event will include a visit with the Belsnickel, who will burst into the museum’s firehouse. Playing his role with vigor, the Belsnickel will proceed to heckle the gathered guests with the goal of prompting the sounds of laughter throughout the building. Each meal will also include a tour featuring two buildings on the property. The Landis Brothers’ house is an original building that was the home of the museum’s founders, Henry and George Landis. Visitors to the house will hear a few Pennsylvania German stories. The second building will be the tavern, a reconstructed representation of taverns in the late 1700s to early 1800s. At the tavern, guests will have the chance to participate in a taffy pull with the tavern keeper. In addition, a guided wagon ride will take visitors around the entire site while they sing carols. More than a meal and a tour, each event gives participants a chance to step back in time and experience activities of yesteryear. “This is a very immersive event for us, and

we’ve made it even more so this year,” said Terry Kreider, coordinator of the event. “Between dancing, singing, and storytelling, we’ll treat our guests to a wonderful meal and an unforgettable experience.” According to Celieberti, period dances from the 18th and 19th centuries will be demonstrated and taught by the guides. “Since dancing was a method of socialization, guests will be encouraged to join our guides and socialize just like those in the past,” explained Celieberti. “Our guides will begin by demonstrating the dances the guests will participate in and then ask for

The Belsnickel will visit Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum during Days of the Belsnickel for special events on Dec. 4 and Dec. 8. The events, which have been celebrated for a decade at the museum, attract up to 50 people for each gathering.

Recreational Programs Set The Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation will offer programs to the community.

The price is discounted for children age 12 and under and for Landis Valley Associates members.

Holiday Card Drive Planned Cards and coloring pages for area military veterans are being collected through Tuesday, Dec. 4, as part of the American Red Cross’ “Holidays for Heroes” program.

Cards may be dropped off at any Royer’s Flowers and Gifts location during normal business hours. Free coloring pages are available at the stores or can be downloaded at www.royers.com/holidaymail. The Red Cross advises those preparing cards to use generic salutations such as “Dear Service Member,” as cards addressed to specific individuals cannot be delivered through this program. Individuals should also include messages of support and thanks, sign their name to the cards, avoid including letters or other personal information, and refrain from choosing cards with glitter.

a nonprofit entity when Dave Yoder, who owned the ice cream shop and still owns the building, approached the Allegany Boys Camp board and asked if the group wanted to utilize the building. “It had been the vision of the board to do something like this,” noted Lapp. The Allegany board set up a board of six to oversee the HayLoft project. One of the board members knew Lapp from church and asked if he would consider becoming the manager. According to Lapp, HayLoft is currently open from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays, but he added that those hours will probably be adjusted during the winter months. Readers who wish to know more about HayLoft may visit www.hayloftice cream.com or search for “HayLoft Ice Cream” on Facebook.

“Each camper sets goals to work toward,” added Lapp. Bald Eagle Boys Camp is supported by an eatery in Mill Hall called the Ice Shack, and now Allegany has HayLoft, which sells Italian ice made on the premises, along with 16 flavors of handdipped ice cream. “We have softserve in vanilla, chocolate, and twist,” said Lapp, who added that gelato, sundaes, milkshakes, and ice shakes are also featured on the dessert menu. The offerings at HayLoft are not restricted to sweet treats, however. “We have salads and yogurt parfaits,” said Lapp, who stated that sandwich wraps and soup will likely be added during the winter months. Soft pretzels are made at the facility, and pretzel sandwich flavors including chicken and ranch, ham and cheese sandwiches, pepperoni, and hot dog are on the menu. In the shop, HayLoft sells a variety of scented candles as in the past, but other items are available as well, including books, dipping mustards, and old-fashioned types of candy. Outside a duck pond is featured, and visitors may purchase pellets to feed the water fowl. Lapp noted that plans for the location include adding a playground on one corner of the property. HayLoft began the transition to

The Penn Legacy Girls U12 Team Sugar Rush, headed by coach Colarelli (back, center), won the LARS Fall Tournament on Nov. 3 at Cocalico High School. They had an undefeated season at 7-0 and were 2-0-1 in the tournament with no goals let in. They were seeded in the top bracket of the tourney playing against two other undefeated teams. The Sugar Rush players scored a combined 57 total goals this season. The team’s 13 players attend Manheim Township, Hempfield, Manheim Central, St. Leo the Great, and Lancaster Mennonite schools.

Many area children and their parents will remember visiting HayLoft Candles at 95 S. Groffdale Road, Leola. For years, the location was the site of a petting zoo and a place to buy ice cream treats and scented candles. In the spring, HayLoft Ice Cream, at the same location, became a nonprofit organization raising funds to help troubled boys find success. “We opened May 14 with the sole purpose of supporting the Allegany Boys Camp,” explained Merv Lapp, manager of HayLoft, who added that all the on-site staff except the managers are volunteers. Allegany Boys Camp, located in Oldtown, Md., was founded in 2011 as an expansion of Bald Eagle Boys Camp in Mill Hall, Pa. “They cater to troubled boys ages 9 to 16, and they work with them for up to two years,” said Lapp. Allegany operates with the understanding that all young men wish to succeed, but that all boys may not have the emotional tools needed to control behavior when faced with challenging events. In a wilderness setting, campers learn how to build their own shelter, where they may live for up to two years. Physical resources to build the structure and firewood for heat and cooking are provided. HayLoft has a structure built by the boys on display so customers can get an idea of how the boys live. “A group of the boys came up here and put that together for us,” noted Lapp. While at Allegany, the boys learn to build relationships as well as shelter. Campers are counseled and supervised by Christian men, and positive peer pressure is encouraged as successes and failures are evaluated. Hands-on learning experiences are offered, along with teambuilding exercises and support in the development of healthy relationships. “They (work at) problem solving as a group,” said Lapp, who described regular meetings called “powwows,” where campers discuss their day and learn to work through problems.

Ringing In The Holiday Season With Winterfest

Winterfest, a free event presented by Main Street Mount Joy, will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. on Dec. 1 along Main Street from Delta to Barbara streets. Live music and a tree lighting ceremony will be among the festivities. By Chelsea Peifer

Main Street Mount Joy (MSMJ) invites the community to its 21st annual Winterfest on Saturday, Dec. 1, from 4 to 7 p.m. Local vendors, churches, and organizations will be set up along Main Street from Delta to Barbara streets. The free event will feature live music, crafts, food and beverages, a children’s train ride, walking carolers, and visits with Santa Claus. The evening will culminate with a town tree lighting ceremony at 7 p.m. located off East Main Street by the town clock. Santa Claus is scheduled to visit with children and families inside the Sheetz Funeral Home, 16 E. Main St., Mount Joy, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. People may bring cameras to take photographs with Santa. Live music will be presented from 4:15 to 6:45 p.m., including performances by Fire in the Glen, a Lancaster-based trio that blends traditional Irish, Scottish, and Cape Breton styles with its own energetic and eclectic approach. Several members of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Mount Joy will stroll through town for the event as a walking choir. MSMJ executive director Dave Schell noted that the 2018 Winterfest will feature more vendors than last year. Churches and nonprofit organizations will offer information and activities as well, and food and beverages will be available to purchase.

“The purpose of the event is to kick off the holiday season in Mount Joy and to bring the community out to meet other people, businesses, and organizations in and around Mount Joy,” stated Schell. “I’d encourage everyone to come downtown, even just for a few minutes to meet some of the great organizations and businesses Mount Joy has to offer.” Several local businesses will offer later hours and discounts or specials during Winterfest. Second Chances, a thrift store located inside First Presbyterian Church at 7 Marietta Ave., Mount Joy, will be open until 7 p.m. Free hot chocolate will be provided, and gently used stuffed animals will be distributed free of charge. Second Chances will also participate in the MSMJ Winterfest coupon book, offering 25 percent off purchases and a free gift. Organizers anticipate approximately 2,500 attendees for Winterfest, and bringing pets is not recommended due to the large crowds expected. The event will be held regardless of inclement weather. Individuals interested in volunteering at Winterfest may contact Schell at 717-653-4227. Setup will begin at 1 p.m., with volunteer opportunities continuing through 9 p.m. for teardown and other tasks. To learn more about MSMJ, readers may visit www.mainstreet mountjoy.com or search for “Main Street Mount Joy” on Facebook.
