Local author explores beauty of Amish gardens
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Lancaster County is widely known for its large population of Amish residents and other members of the Plain community. Horses and buggies are an iconic part of the area’s distinct character, and although the Amish are especially fond of their privacy, local residents and tourists are able to observe several customs that are unique to the modest group. But there are many Amish traditions that few people outside the Plain community are familiar with, including the topic of Beth Oberholtzer’s new book, “Amish Gardens of Lancaster County.”
Oberholtzer’s latest work explores the time-honored Amish tradition of cultivating a kitchen garden, which is maintained by the women of the household to serve a variety of purposes. The gardens are used to feed large families with a diverse range of vegetables, fruits and herbs that serve as integral parts of family recipes, many of which have been passed down through generations. The kitchen gardens are also utilized as places for members of the household to plant flowers and foster different types of artistry and creativity.
“One of the pleasures of researching this book and talking to the gardeners was learning how the gardens are really portraits of the women who create and sustain them,” Oberholtzer said. “It is how they nourish their families, a way to connect with their children, and an expression of their own creativity.”
Oberholtzer had the idea to write “Amish Gardens of Lancaster County” while she was visiting local Amish farms and conducting
research for her previous book, “Working Horses of Lancaster County.” Oberholtzer said she noticed that each Amish home included a large garden, and she began to learn about them from the wives of the horse owners she was interviewing. “I got an inkling of their responsibilities and joys in gardening and preserving food for their families,” Oberholtzer added. “Some information I
gleaned was common across most gardens, while some was unique to a particular gardener.”
Oberholtzer will discuss “Amish Gardens of Lancaster County” on Thursday, July 25, at Mennonite Life, 2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster. The free event will begin at 6:30 p.m., and no registration is required to attend.

LCDHH provides connections for communication

One of the five human senses, hearing is something that can be easily taken for granted. But for those who can’t hear, there’s an element of appreciation that inspires creativity, ingenuity and a manifestation of the human spirit.

Refreshments will be available to purchase from several food trucks, including Scoops Ice Cream and Grille, Cupcakes by Casey, Walk-O Taco and Dunkin’ Community Cruiser.
Traditionally, the event has included the Rubber Duckie Race, which entailed dumping thousands of rubber ducks into the Conestoga River. To make the fundraiser more environmentally friendly, Schreiber will not drop any rubber ducks into the river, but supporters may still adopt a duck online with a donation to the organization. Similarly to years past, adopting a duck will include

For the past 36 years, the Rubber Duckie Race and Festival has served as one of Schreiber’s largest fundraisers, and it often draws more than 1,000 attendees. The funds raised from the event are used to cover the organization’s general expenses and treatment costs for patients who are unable to pay the full amount.

individuals with hearing loss learn to listen, communicate better and generally lead fuller lives.
LCDHH client services manager and language specialist Karen Pfortsch, who has been deaf since birth, was interviewed for this article with the help of sign language interpreter Kandy Reyes, KDHHS’ president.
“Deaf individuals are happy being deaf,” said Pfortsch. “We can do everything except hear. We can drive; we can work. American Sign Language is a beautiful language. What’s important to us is our eyes and being able to see.”
At LCDHH, individuals with hearing loss and their family members are directly and indirectly connected with services like sign language interpreters, sign language education, hearing aids, speech therapy, amplifiers, closed caption video phones, doorbell signalers, smoke and fire alarms, workshops, community activities and social events.
to prove ourselves because it’s considered a disability. But deaf people don’t think they’re disabled.”
KDHHS employs a total of 10 individuals, two of whom work out of the LCDHH office. LCDHH is a nonprofit that receives funding from donations, grants and fees from its interpreter services.
“We are known in the deaf and hard of hearing community,” said Pfortsch. “Some organizations know us, and they connect their clients with us. They’ll work with us and collaborate with us. But some people don’t know the services are available. We’re here. People are welcome to call us.”

People who are deaf or hard of hearing also employ lip reading, facial expressions and body language as ways to receive communications, but they are more informal and learned skills that are often less accurate than sign language.
“The goal is barrier-free services and community access,” said Pfortsch. “Our goal is to empower our clients with whatever services are needed. It’s like a one-stop shop. When a person comes in here, they need to discuss their needs with us. Some might be looking for a job, and we’ll connect them with employment agencies. Some people might be struggling with reading. Some people have limited language skills. Some might need to know how to get their pensions. We’ll get them connected to the right people. There are a variety of things we’ll do to get them help, and sometimes we do advocacy.”
LCDHH serves about 300 clients on a regular basis. According to numbers from a recent census, approximately 80,000 Lancaster County residents have some sort of hearing loss.
“We are only scratching the surface,” said Pfortsch. “Some people have a mindset about deaf people from what they’ve seen on TV. They label all deaf people as ignorant. We have to work

Tips for staying cool and preventing illness
As the summer season officially beings, the Lancaster County Office of Aging has offered tips to beat the heat.
People are advised to wear loose-fitting clothing and stay somewhere with air conditioning. They should avoid hot foods and heavy meals. It is also important to stay hydrated, but people should avoid drinking alcohol or liquids with large amounts of sugar. When going outside, people should use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. A cool shower or bath can be rejuvenating when temperatures are high. It is important to stay informed and learn how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat-related illnesses. Exposure to high temperatures, particularly when humidity is high and people perform strenuous physical activity, can cause three heat-related illnesses. Heat cramps is the mildest, followed by heat exhaustion, which happens when the body overheats. Without prompt treatment, this condition can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening condition.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion may start suddenly or progress over time, especially with prolonged periods of exercise. The symptoms can include cool, moist skin with goosebumps when in the heat; heavy sweating; faintness; dizziness; fatigue; weak, rapid pulse; low blood pressure upon standing; muscle cramps; nausea; and headache. If a person believes he or she has heat exhaustion, the person should stop all activity and move to a cooler place to rest. The person should drink cool water or sports drinks, and if symptoms worsen or do not improve within one hour, he or she should consult a doctor.
Anyone who is with someone who has heat exhaustion should seek immediate medical help if the person becomes confused or distressed, loses consciousness, or is unable to drink. If the person’s core body temperature reaches 104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, the person needs immediate cooling and urgent medical attention.
