Makers Market will return to library

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

The third annual Makers Market will be held on Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Strasburg-Heisler Library, 143 Precision Ave., Strasburg. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it will feature a variety of vendors who will sell handmade items and artwork.

Vendors will be stationed both inside the library and outside on the lawn. Those who will set up on the lawn are encouraged to bring their own tents and displays. Volunteers from the library will assist vendors with parking and unloading their vehicles. Vendors may visit www.strasburglibrary.org to register until the day of the event.

Lunch will be available to purchase from the library, and refreshments will be offered by Joe on the Go Coffee Co. The library’s regular services will not be available on the day of the market.

The Makers Market will exclusively

feature vendors who sell items that have been made by hand, such as wooden puzzles, beaded jewelry, candles, hand-sewn children’s clothes, watercolor paintings, birdhouses and origami crafts. One vendor will return to sell accessorized tote bags as a fundraiser for the library; last year, tote bag sales generated over $300 to benefit library programs. “The idea of the Makers Market came about as a way to show our community members that its library is a place for them to connect with others and share ideas,” said Kristin Fernitz, director of the library. “There are many talented people who seek an opportunity to talk about their passions. We’re just giving them a place to do that.”

The library created the Makers Market to engage the community and to show local residents that it doesn’t only offer books. The event has steadily grown in the number of vendors and shoppers each year, See Makers Market pg 9

Each tee time will include space for 24 teams to progress through 24 holes, and multiple holes will offer players a chance to earn prizes. One of the prize holes will challenge golfers to hit a ball into the sunroof of a car for a chance to win prizes such as gift certificates for the Village Greens and local businesses. JASCPA will accept registration for sponsors until the day of the event, and teams may sign up to play until the last week of September. Registration will include a grab-and-go lunch for all golfers and a gift bag of items that See JASCPA pg 3

On July 1, Manuel Paz Cruz began serving as the pastor for both Boehm’s Church in Willow Street and Colemanville United Methodist Church in Conestoga. As a pastor who has served the United Methodist Church for more than three decades, Cruz plans to use his years of experience to revitalize each church’s ministries and to unite both congregations.

In 1990, Cruz was drawn to the ministry while working at a church in the Philippines, his home country. He attended Union Theological Seminary there and led local See New pastor pg 4

The funds raised by Putt for Education will benefit multiple programs JA offers to students from kindergarten to 12th grade. Each program is held at schools free of charge and falls into one of the organization’s three target areas: financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. JASCPA’s volunteers facilitate the programs and use their own life experiences to teach practical skills in classrooms throughout the area.

One of JASCPA’s financial literacy initiatives is REAL Life, which is a program offered to juniors and seniors in high school. Through REAL Life, students learn about budgeting by participating in

various activities such as guessing the cost of items commonly purchased by adults. Students are also given scenarios that include a specific career and salary, and they are tasked with covering expenses like rent and utilities without exceeding their budgets. “It’s really valuable for students to learn the cost of things as they prepare for adulthood,” said Kim Zech, JASCPA’s vice president of communications and events.

“Our programs give kids an opportunity to ask questions and get real-world answers.”

To promote entrepreneurship and employment readiness in students, JASCPA hosts BizTown. The event involves a daylong interactive learning experience in a simulated town, where fifth- and

sixth-grade students can operate a business such as a restaurant or bank. The goal of BizTown is to bridge the gap between what students learn in the classroom and what they will be tasked with in adult life.

During the 2022-23 school year, JASCPA offered programs to over 100,000 students in southcentral Pennsylvania, including over

Veterans Court seeks volunteer mentors

The Lancaster County Veterans Treatment Court is seeking volunteer mentors for veterans involved in the court’s alternative sentencing program.

The court program is aimed at giving veterans who have committed a crime the opportunity to get their lives back on track. Those who complete the program successfully can have their record expunged, have more serious charges dropped and get a reduced sentencepossibly avoiding incarceration altogether. Program participants may have served in any branch of the U.S. military.

The rigorous program includes four phases, with requirements that participants abstain from alcohol and other drugs, find and maintain a job, participate in community service projects, attend court dates and show up for appointments

with their probation officer and other court staff members.

The volunteer mentors must be veterans who are willing to take on a program participant as the participant moves through four phases. Mentoring typically involves attending weekly court sessions; keeping in touch with the mentee by text, phone or personal contact; and serving as a supportive presence.

The Veterans Court is one of three treatment courts that have been established in the Lancaster County court system to give a second chance to offenders who have struggled with the use of alcohol and other drugs or who are struggling with an untreated mental illness. The Veterans Court is administrated by Judge Jeffery D. Wright, and the mentors’ involvement gives another layer

of support to the participants who commit to the program.

Many of the veteran mentors who are involved are retired or have flexible schedules that permit them to attend weekly court dates and other activities. Volunteers who are people of color or women are especially wanted.

Giant to donate food, school supplies

In honor of its 100th anniversary celebrations and the start of a new school year, the Giant Company will donate 10,000 bags filled with food, hygiene products and school supplies to help youngsters start the school year with confidence. Giant and Martin’s team members will partner with 36 local organizations to pack and distribute bags, providing children with weekend meals and supplies.

Each bag will include nonperishable food items such as cereal, trail mix, macaroni and cheese, granola bars and applesauce; school supplies, including notebooks, pencils, crayons and glue sticks; and personal hygiene items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, laundry detergent and deodorant.

The Giant Company’s

donation is part of its 100th anniversary celebration efforts, which honor team members, customers and the communities the company serves. Building on its century-long commitment to grow strong, healthy communities, the company has made philanthropy a cornerstone of its anniversary celebration.

New pastor frompg 1

churches for more than 10 years before deciding to move to the United States.

Cruz attended Drew University in New Jersey for advanced theological studies, and he spent the last 11 years simultaneously leading two churches in New Jersey.

Once again serving as a pastor for two separate churches, Cruz said he has received a warm welcome from congregants of Boehm’s and Colemanville alike. “I am really blessed to be serving two wonderful congregations,” Cruz added. “They have both been very welcoming and full of inspiration, and (church members) have shared with me that they are ready to grow the church.”

Although Boehm’s and Colemanville now have a common bond through Cruz, each church possesses its own unique characteristics. Colemanville has a larger congregation that remains highly active, and Boehm’s offers a more intimate setting to worship on its church grounds, which include the original historic chapel that was built in 1791. Cruz currently leads the worship service at each church every Sunday, but he plans to hold

joint services in the future for holidays and special events. “The two churches are now like sister churches, and they are committed to helping each other,” Cruz said.

Despite Cruz’s new role being in an area that he has never served in before, he said his priorities remain the same. Cruz plans to promote church growth through inspiring worship services and making new disciples, and he hopes to grow the small group ministries and community outreach efforts in both churches. Since becoming the pastor at Boehm’s, Cruz has started to revive activities such as Bible studies, Sunday school and regular prayer meetings.

Boehm’s Church will hold a fall festival on Saturday, Oct. 14, at its campus, located at 13 W. Boehms Road, Willow Street. The festival will incorporate the historic chapel, and it will feature multiple vendors, refreshments, live music and family activities. Cruz will operate a prayer booth during the festival.

For more information, call the Boehm’s Church office at 717-464-4885.

Happy trails: Tips to help seniors travel safely

Travel was once a key component of the picture that working professionals created of their ideal retirements. While the COVID-19 pandemic put many retirement travel plans on hold in recent years, jetting off to distant locales is once again on retirees’ radars.

Eagerness to get back on the road, in the air or on the high seas could make it easy to overlook some principles of safe travel. Such an oversight could lead to complications that could make it hard to enjoy time away from home. The following tips may reduce the likelihood that seniors encounter trouble while traveling.

- Determine if any health issues are affecting the planned destination. The Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention offers an online resource that provides the latest travel health notices for a multitude of travel destinations, along with recommendations of vaccinations that travelers should have. To access the resource, visit www.cdc.gov/travel/page/ travel-vaccines.

- Speak to a physician. A pre-trip consultation with a physician can uncover any issues that might arise during a trip. Health conditions may be easily managed for domestic travelers who are not planning to visit any especially remote locations, but some issues may not necessarily be as easily navigated when traveling overseas. Physicians can also recommend vaccinations or other measures to protect one’s health

while traveling. In addition, a pre-trip doctor visit is a great time to refill prescriptions that will be needed during a vacation.

- Take financial precautions as well. Of course, not all travel-related concerns are medical. Finances also require attention prior to a trip. Inflation has caused a sharp spike in the price of various commodities since the start of 2022, so travelers should study up on the cost of food and attractions at their destination to ensure they take enough money. Baggage costs have risen significantly in recent years, so seniors traveling on a budget may want to pack less and do laundry while traveling in an effort to save money. In addition, the unpredictable nature of travel since the onset of the

pandemic has underscored the utility of travel insurance. Seniors can look into travel insurance that could reimburse them in the case of delays or cancellations.

- Privately share the trip itinerary. Prior to departing, travelers should share their itinerary with friends and family members. They should avoid sharing the itinerary on social media platforms, which can make them a target for criminals at home and at their destination. The itinerary should include where travelers are staying, the dates they will visit certain locations and the dates of activities they will be engaging in on the trip.

Seniors rediscovering the joy of traveling can take various measures to make their trips more safe.

Engaging hobbies for seniors

The value of hobbies is undeniable. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology found that employees who engaged in creative hobbies outside of work were more creative on work projects and had a better attitude on the job. A separate study published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2009 reported that individuals who engaged in enjoyable leisure activities had lower blood pressure and a smaller waist circumference.

The beneficial nature of hobbies is good news for seniors, many of whom have ample time for leisure activities. Whether seniors are retired or still working but don’t have the responsibilities of parenting, the following are some fun and engaging hobbies to fill that free time.

self-taught route and purchase a new cookbook filled with delicious recipes. A wellcooked homemade meal can provide a sense of accomplishment and afford seniors an opportunity to control the ingredients in the foods they eat, which can be important for individuals with healthrelated dietary restrictions.

- Writing: Many individuals have penned their memoirs after notable careers and lives. While individuals needn’t make their memoirs public, writing can be a great way for seniors to document their own lives and the lives of their family members. Interest in genealogy has risen considerably in recent years, as easily accessible websites like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com have made it easier than ever for individuals to learn about their roots.

Hobbies frompg 6

- Gardening: Seniors looking for hobbies that get them out in the great outdoors need look no further than their own backyards. Gardening can benefit the body in myriad ways. According to the Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS), gardening has the potential to burn as many calories as working out in the gym. In addition, the MCHS notes that individuals who grow their own fruits and

vegetables are more likely to include those foods in their own diets, thus saving them money at the grocery store and also increasing their intake of nutrient-rich foods.

- Swimming: Swimming is an ideal exercise for seniors, as it’s low-impact but still a great way to utilize the entire body. A 2007 study published in the journal Quality of Life Research found that waterbased exercise improves older

Staying connected

How retirees can engage with their communities

People who are still a part of the workforce usually experience social interaction throughout the day as they collaborate on projects or gather with colleagues for lunch. Even those working remotely likely attend meetings virtually and communicate with co-workers by phone or email.

Without co-workers around, retirees may sometimes find their social lives lacking. People may need to take steps to strengthen their social capital, a term that describes the strength of a person’s social relationships and the extent to which people feel physically and emotionally supported by their communities. Retirees

may look to a variety of activities in the community to keep them connected with others.

- Join a club or group. Individuals can identify an activity they find interesting and determine if there is a way to get involved with it in their community. Senior centers or adult activity providers may sponsor local programs, and libraries often host a variety of club and interest group meetings.

- Participate in worship. Many older adults find they want to reconnect with their faith at this point in their lives, even if attending services wasn’t a top priority earlier in life. Reach out to a local house of worship and find out when services take place and what activities are available.

Strength training for seniors

adults’ quality of life and decreases disability. A separate study published in 2008 in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness found that water-based exercise can improve or help to maintain bone health in postmenopausal women.

These are just a few of the many hobbies seniors can pursue as they look for positive and fun ways to spend their free time.

A balanced diet and exercise, which includes a combination of aerobic activities and strength training, is necessary to maintain long-term health.

any exercises that may compromise the patient’s overall health.

- Read to children. Seniors can volunteer their services at a library by reading to youngsters. Interacting with other generations can be inspiring.

- Volunteer at a soup kitchen or food pantry. Times continue to be challenging for many people who may find it hard to cover their expenses, and soup kitchens and food pantries can be a saving grace for those who might otherwise miss meals. Volunteering one’s time at these organizations can help make a difference in the lives of community members.

- Become a substitute teacher or paraprofessional. Many schools are experiencing shortages of qualified staff members. Retirees may find a place

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity is one of the most important things older adults can do to protect their overall health. Exercise helps to delay or prevent many of the conditions that come with age. Adults age 65 and older should aim for the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as brisk walking, and at least two days of activities that strengthen muscles. When it comes to muscle strengthening, seniors can follow a few safety guidelines.

- Speak with a health care provider first. Before beginning an exercise regimen, people should have a discussion with their general practitioner about their fitness goals. The doctor can recommend strategies that are safe and point out

- Master basic exercises first. Anyone new to strength training, which is sometimes known as resistance training, can start out slowly, even just using body weight to provide resistance. Resistance exercises can include squats, crunches, modified pushups, planks, and lunges.

- Advance to resistance bands. When a person is ready to move on to something else, he or she may consider resistance bands as an alternative to free weights. The bands can help a person develop good form before introducing weight. Good form is key to avoiding injury.

- Work with a trainer. Working with a certified personal trainer can help a person learn how to use free weights and strength-training machines correctly. A trainer also can create a routine that includes the right number of sets and

repetitions to gradually build and maintain muscle mass. If someone decides against hiring a trainer, gym staff members may guide them on using equipment and demonstrate proper form.

- Exercise with a friend. Strength training with a friend or family member can provide motivation and keep people on target to meet their goals.

- Build up gradually. A person’s first strength training session should only last 10 to 15 minutes, according to Tiffany Chag, a strength coach at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. This time limit enables the person to gauge soreness. Anyone new to strength training should wait until soreness abates before beginning the next session.

Exercises that build strength are a vital part of maintaining health as a senior. These exercises help maintain muscle mass and also improve balance and bone health.

providing opportunities for artists to not only sell their work, but also to teach attendees about their process. “The library is a place for education, learning and sharing. This is just another way to share,” said Fernitz. “Many vendors like to talk to customers and explain how they make their pieces. It’s a jumping-off point for people to learn something new while appreciating the artwork.”

In addition to the Makers Market, the library is preparing to offer multiple programs and events this fall. Although many early childhood programs will be available, the library will also hold adult programs such as a sewing class in October and a trivia night in November. At the end of September, library staff members will operate a booth at the West Lampeter Community Fair to offer information on the library’s many programs.

helping to shape the minds of youngsters by volunteering at schools or taking on part-time jobs in the classroom.

- Become a mentor. Seniors can share their knowledge and experiences with a student, family member or other community member. Mentors needn’t have an advanced degree or special certification, but they should have more experience in a given field or subject than the mentee. The mentor should ask the mentee about his or her goals and expectations, listen carefully and then respond to the questions and needs of the mentee and adjust the material discussed as necessary to help the mentee meet his or her goals. Sessions should be planned at a time that suits both the mentee and mentor. Mentoring does not only benefit

7

mentees; for mentors, it can keep an aging mind sharp, provide additional meaning and purpose to life and foster social connections.

- Befriend neighbors. A passing greeting may have been the norm when people were busy working, but once people are retired, they may have more opportunities to get to know their neighbors better. Neighbors may even take turns hosting get-togethers. Moving to a retirement or active adult community may facilitate such friendships.

- Volunteer with local government. Retirees may enter a local school board election or try to become a member of the town council.

These are just a few of the many ways that retiree may get involved in their community and maintain strong social ties.

Titan Gilroy named keynote speaker

Titan Gilroy will be this year’s featured keynote speaker at the MX2023 Manufacturers’ Expo to be held on Thursday, Nov. 9, at the York Expo Center. Gilroy is CEO and founder of TITANS of CNC. Founded in 2005, the company specializes in manufacturing parts for the medical, subsea and aerospace industries.

Gilroy began his career in manufacturing when he walked away from his professional boxing career and his rough past, including prison time, and found himself in a CNC machine shop where everything in his life changed. He shared his story on the reality series “Titan: American Built,” which was dedicated to American manufacturing.

In the third season he went to San Quentin Prison and built an Elite CNC Academy. It was because of this experience that Gilroy developed the free TITANS of CNC Academy curriculum, which is now backed by aerospace companies and industry partners like Kennametal, Mastercam and Mitutoyo, and endorsed by more than 1,000 companies and agencies, including NASA, Northrop Grumman,

Boeing and Disney.

Gilroy will share a message of hope and redemption, along with practical tools for students, educators, shop owners and business leaders.

MX2023 is a manufacturing trade show established to help industries build local supply chains, exhibit capabilities and increase business opportunities and new customers.

For more information about the MX2023 Manufacturers’ Expo, visit www.masc pa.org/expo, call 717-8433891 or email office@masc pa.org. Exhibit spaces are limited, and admission tickets are available for a fee, which includes access to the keynote speaker breakout sessions.

The 10th annual Covenanter Scottish Festival and Highland Games will be held on Saturday, Sept. 9, at Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church, 1199 Valley Road, Quarryville. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it will feature a variety of live music, games, demonstrations and other traditional activities to celebrate Scottish culture and history.

Throughout the day, musical groups such as Charlie Zahm and Tad Marks, Fire in the Glen, the Philadelphia and District Pipe Band and Regimental Pipes and Drums will perform arrangements of Scottish music. Traditional instruments such as the bagpipe will be highlighted during the performances.

The festival’s attendees will have an opportunity to participate the Highland Games, which will include a “caber toss.” During this activity, contenders will balance a large and heavy wooden pole as they attempt to flip it onto its opposite end. The Highland Games will also feature contests for Scottish dancers and bagpipers, where performers will showcase their talents before a panel of judges for a chance to earn medals.

Multiple demonstrations will be held throughout the day, which will include

sheepherding, spinning and weaving. A variety of vendors and Scottish clans will operate stands at the festival to sell merchandise and refreshments, as well as to offer informational resources on Scottish history.

During the festival, a ceremony will be held to honor veterans of the Vietnam War and remember those who have served in the military. Each year, the event also incorporates a traditional haggis ceremony to provide information on the rare dish as it is served alongside Scotch whiskey.

The Covenanter Scottish Festival serves as one of the

A sheepherding demonstration will be among a variety of activities taking place during the day.

largest fundraisers for the Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Church. It was started by the Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation in 2013 as a way to acquire the funds necessary to restore and maintain the church campus, which is known as the oldest Covenanter church in North America. The majority of the foundation’s profits from last year’s festival have been used for the general upkeep of the

building, due to a few setbacks in the restoration process. The foundation began to replace the electrical wiring of the structure earlier in the year, but it halted the project after encountering a colony of bats.

Attached to the church is the school room museum, which is curated by former foundation president Barry Girvin. The museum houses a collection of artifacts and

documents from Scotland that were brought to Pennsylvania by settlers in the 18th century. The museum also contains records of families and students from the many schools that once populated the Southern End, which date back from the 19th century up until the formation of the Solanco School District. Before the it was converted into a museum, the building served as Bart Township’s high school.

“(The museum) has a wide range of history on the Covenanter Church, Middle Octorara and many other churches and schools that were in the area,” Girvin said. “We have some artifacts from them that are quite unusual.” Girvin hopes to have the museum open for tours by the day of the festival.

Philadelphia & Reading Railway from London-based builder Braithwaite, Milner & Company from 1838 to 1841. In addition to Rocket, the locomotives were named Firefly, Spitfire, Comet, Dragon, Helca, Planet and Gem, and most of them remained in service for decades.

The Rocket is all that remains from this group and is the oldest surviving Reading Railroad locomotive. The woodburning steam locomotive Rocket originally weighed 17,000 pounds and is 17 feet long.

As with most early locomotives, it did not have an enclosed cab to shelter the engineer.

The Rocket was shown at the World’s Columbian Exposition - Chicago World’s Fair - in 1893, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition - St. Louis World’s Fair - in 1904 and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad’s Fair of the Iron Horse in 1927. The Rocket came to the Franklin Institute on loan from the Reading Company in 1933. It was placed on public display in 1934. Since that time, it has been displayed on a portion of its original tracks next to the Baldwin 60000 locomotive. The Consolidated Rail Corporation - Conrail - the owner of the Rocket, identified the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania as the next home for the early steam locomotive.

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is home to a collection of about 100 historic locomotives and railroad cars, a vast research library and archives, a working restoration shop, an immersive education center and programs, a museum store and special events and exhibits.

A Smithsonian Affiliate, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is one of 24 historic sites and museums administered by the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission as part of the Pennsylvania Trails of History, with the active support of the nonprofit Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
