Every year, Mennonite Life organizes Maize and Snitz Fest to explore precolonial history and the culture of Lancaster’s earlier inhabitants, including indigenous tribes and settlers who lived in the area prior to the mid-18th century. Children’s activities will include crafts, popular games from the 18th century and a scavenger hunt. Throughout the day, interpreters will hold demonstrations near the Herr House and the property’s longhouse replica to offer a glimpse of the customs, industries and traditional foods enjoyed in the 1700s. Artisan vendors will sell traditional Native American and European crafts, and a variety of locally made, culturally significant food such as apple dumplings, whoopie pies and snitz fry pies will be available to purchase.

This year, Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF) is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The organization has used its centennial as an opportunity to reflect on its past and chart a course for the future with a yearlong series of community events, which will conclude with Protecting Our Planet on Thursday, Oct. 17. The free community event will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Farm at Eagles Ridge,
465 Long Lane, Lancaster, and it will highlight environmental issues that are specific to the area, as well as local organizations working to find solutions.
“Protecting Our Planet is the culmination of the whole year’s celebration and more than $1 million given out in awards and scholarships,” said Val Schade, LCCF’s communications manager. “It’s about how we can come together to protect natural resources and address unique environmental challenges.”
Guests learn about 18th-century Lancaster history at last year’s Maize and Snitz Fest.
The Autumn Daze exhibit will showcase decorated, papier-mâché pumpkins from LCAA’s annual Great Pumpkin Challenge.

Admission and parking will be free, and the location of the rain-or-shine event is handicapped-accessible. Nearly 40 artists and crafters will show their work at different booths, and LCAA will exhibit a collection of pieces from its members who may not have enough artworks to have their own booths.
Participating members will have an opportunity
to showcase one to four original, framed pieces, and each submission will be available to purchase and eligible for an award during the juried show.
Participating artists will display artworks from a variety of mediums at their booths, including photography, jewelry, glasswork and wood sculptures. The event will also feature the work of artists who use watercolors, oil paints and acrylic paints.
Patricia Keller, a Landisville resident and longstanding LCAA member, said the organization hopes to make the craft
show an annual fundraiser.
Previously, LCAA held several small fundraisers such as bake sales throughout the year, but the nonprofit decided to start a new tradition of hosting a larger event to help cover its general operating expenses. Proceeds from the Lancaster Fine Art & Craft Show will also help LCAA fund various projects at its building, including roof repairs and ongoing maintenance needs.

Maintaining older vehicles
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
Maintenance mile markers
Modern automobiles are technological marvels. As advancements in automotive technology have made cars more reliable than ever, drivers may feel as though vehicle ownership also is more hands-off than ever before. Though it’s true that built-in diagnostic technology is designed to alert drivers to certain issues, it can still benefit motorists to recognize when certain issues may arise. Cars and the people who drive them are different, so mileage intervals are not always the best measuring stick for maintenance issues. However, the following rundown
can serve as a guidebook for drivers who want to know what to expect at various mileage intervals.
• 30,000 miles: The experts at Auto Trader note that disposable engine air filters usually last between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. If it’s been about 30,000 miles since the engine air filter has been replaced, it would be a good time to replace this important part, which prevents components like dirt and debris from getting into the engine. This also might be a good time to replace the fuel filter, which prevents debris from clogging fuel injectors.
• 50,000 to 60,000 miles: It’s about this time that drivers may need to replace their vehicle batteries. Little-used vehicles may need a new battery much earlier, as lengthy periods of little or no use adversely affect the life expectancy of vehicle batteries. Brakes also may need to be replaced about this time, as the experts at AutoZone note that most drivers get between two and five years out of a set of brake pads. If that sounds like a significant range, it is, and that’s because driver behavior is a significant variable affecting the life of the pads. Drivers who brake hard will likely need to replace their brake pads with greater frequency than drivers who brake slowly.
• 50,000 to 90,000 miles: As noted, there is no uniform guideline governing when vehicle components will need to be replaced. Hoses are a good example of that, as recommendations regarding when to replace hoses
CARE
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.
range from 50,000 to 90,000 miles. That’s a significant range, but drivers can be on the safe side and start discussing the status of their hoses with their mechanics around the 50,000-mile marker. It’s unlikely the hoses will make it all the way to 90,000 miles before they need to be replaced, but drivers can keep that mileage marker in mind and aim to replace the hoses before that point even if no issue has arisen. Timing belts also tend to fail between 80,000 and 100,000 miles, so this is another part to consider replacing as a vehicle reaches this point.
These mileage markers are not set in stone and should only serve as a guideline for drivers who want to stay ahead of vehicle repairs. Drivers also are urged to discuss any additional changes that might be necessary with their mechanics during routine maintenance appointments.
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 driving. 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.

Maize and Snitz
collection of heirloom seeds, including many seeds currently found in the kitchen garden of the Herr House and the three sisters garden adjacent to the longhouse replica. Both gardens will be open to guests, and Weaver’s seeds will be available to purchase. Local author and Mennonite Life member Lynette Leaman Brenneman will offer a storytelling activity for children as well
as a book signing during the event.
Students from Franklin & Marshall College will attend Maize and Snitz Fest to present their research of the Carlisle Indian School. Through a partnership with Native American advocacy group Circle Legacy Center, the students have researched the history of the residential boarding school. From 1879 to 1918,
Native American children were separated from their families and sent to the school to assimilate to European culture, and many of the children were forced to work on local farms.
For many years, the Mennonite Life event was known as Snitz Fest, referring to apples that Pennsylvania Dutch settlers cut and dried to preserve. After the construction of the longhouse replica, Mennonite Life renamed the event Maize and Snitz Fest to highlight both Native American and Pennsylvania Dutch cultures. “People are often
unfamiliar with stories of indigenous people and how they interacted with European immigrants,” said Heather Strahin, Mennonite Life’s museum administrator. “A lot of people seem to have an idea that this was just a vast wilderness, and it couldn’t be further from the truth.” In Mennonite Life’s video room, located at 2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster, visitors can view a map of the many Native American groups that populated the area before its colonization.

Atkins is a lifelong gardener with a passion for herbs. Retiring in 2022 after a 38-year career as a psychologist, she finally had time to become a Penn State Extension Master Gardener. She loves to talk with others about gardening and herbs. She is a certified herbalist. Guests are welcome with advance reservations and a fee, and they may stay for refreshments following a brief business meeting.
