The West Lampeter Community Fair returned to the fairgrounds from Sept. 22 to 27 with a roster of special events to celebrate its 100th anniversary. In addition to enjoying the fair’s traditional festivities and tasty treats, community members made new memories as they looked back on a century of good, old-fashioned fun.
The fair kicked off at 4 p.m. on Sept. 22 with an opening ceremony that included remarks from fair board president Don Welk and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s deputy secretary for animal health and food safety, Lisa Graybeal. Graybeal presented 2023 West Lampeter Fair queen Sarah Blount with a certificate recognizing the event’s centennial. Welk and the previous

two fair board presidents held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially launch the first day of fair fun.
The opening ceremony was followed by a kids’ candy drop and a concert from Summit Hill Bluegrass, which performed an arrangement of classic folk tunes and banjo ballads while fairgoers lined up for funnel cakes and sausage sandwiches. After the show, attendees filled every seat in the bleachers for a community hymn sing. As the sun set over the green and yellow striped tents, the fair queen candidates processed into the area for the annual contest. The competition was attended by several former West Lampeter Community Fair queens; each past fair queen shared a memory from the year she won the contest and took a seat in front of the stage as candidates vied for the 2024 title.

Twenty-five years ago, Esther Glick of Manheim Township left her career in real estate and dove into the world of antiquing. Esther had always enjoyed scouring local auctions for unique treasures and vintage items, but she had never tried to make it a career. Undaunted, Esther embarked on this new chapter of her life, laying the foundation of what would become an empire of antiques.

If you look closely enough, you can find consistent patterns that tie together anything from a constellation to the petals of a flower. Although mathematical sequences, humans’ thumbprints and the inside of a tree trunk may seem to have nothing in common at first glance, their unique shapes share eerily similar designs. These patterns are the primary inspiration for the work of Lancaster-based artist JJ Roach, who was a finalist in a
statewide art competition held in September.
For the third consecutive year, JJ was selected as a finalist in the State Museum of Pennsylvania’s annual Art of the State juried competition. JJ and 95 other artists from across Pennsylvania were chosen out of more than 600 artists and 2,000 entries. The finalists’ artworks, which include paintings, digital media, photographs and sculptures, are featured in an exhibit at the State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg. The exhibit opened on
2023 West Lampeter Fair queen Sarah Blount crowned Ava Immel as the winner of this year’s contest.

Dear Brother or Sister in Christ, In the United States, 40% of Christians do not vote.
If God did not want us to have an active role in His plans, He would not have called us to action repeatedly throughout Scripture. Again and again, from Genesis to Revelation, He calls on His people to act, to stand against evil, and to stand up for the needy and vulnerable (Isaiah 6:8, Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 5:11, Proverbs 29:2, Proverbs 31:8-9). If we sit on the sidelines while every good thing our nation stands for is destroyed, we will have violated far more Scripture than the handful of passages that may be misused to justify inaction.
Christians oftentimes ignore getting involved in the voting process for several reasons: (1) they don’t believe their vote counts, (2) they have been misinformed, or (3) they have never done it; therefore, it’s hard to break the ice. We encourage you to pray and ask God to help you break free from these fears. We are all called upon to do the right thing.
Many Christians do not vote because of pressure from their church and community. It is time to fully reverse that habit. We are all called upon to do the right thing. The hard part is finding the courage to stand up, to stand in the gap. Initially, you may be judged for doing so. But standing in the gap for good is the only way to stop this storm.
Here’s what you can do today to save the country:
1. You can vote early by mail, or in-person. Call us and we’ll help you better understand the options Pennsylvania offers: 717-403-7041.
2. Talk to everyone about why you are voting and why they should too.
3. Pray for our nation and our nation’s leaders. Please act. You don’t want to wake-up the day after the 2024 election wishing you had done more to save your community and your country.

Staying sharp: Brain-boosting tips
Cognitive decline is a concern for many adults as they get older. Memory loss and trouble processing ideas can sometimes be a side effect of aging, as Everyday Health says the brain changes in size and structure as a person gets older. The changes can affect how well the brain works over time. Furthermore, illnesses affecting the brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease, may start showing their symptoms in people who have reached their mid-60s, says the National Institute on Aging.
Older adults who want to boost their cognitive health may consider a few strategies.
Maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels is associated with better cognitive function, according to data published in 2021 in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Lowering
blood pressure also reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
When learning new information, people are encouraged to use multiple senses. Harvard Health says that when more senses are used in learning something, more of the brain is involved in retaining the memory.
Staying physically active is also important. Exercise helps maintain blood flow to the brain, which also helps to reduce the risk for hypertension.
According to Cone Health Medical Group, eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like tuna, salmon, and mackerel, decreases risk for cognitive decline. People should avoid saturated fats, trans fats, and hydrogenated oils.
Getting into the written word can also be beneficial. According to a study in the journal Neurology,
regular reading and writing in one’s older years reduced the rate of memory decline by 32%. Joining a book club or simply reading more on one’s own can improve cognition. Similarly, writing improves memory and communication abilities and can help strengthen the brain.
Avoid drinking sugary beverages and limit consumption of alcohol, as neither boasts brain-boosting properties. Instead, consider tea or coffee; these beverages can improve alertness and focus, as they’re rich in polyphenols and antioxidants. A Place for Mom says caffeine in these beverages can help solidify new memories.
Keeping the brain sharp is a multilayered process that involves healthy foods and beverages, exercise, and brain-stimulating activities.
The role of a home health aide
Caregivers come from all walks of life. Doctors and nurses may be the frontline medical providers people encounter most frequently, but plenty of others do their part to maintain the well-being of individuals. Among these caregivers are home health aides.
Home health aides, sometimes called personal care aides, assist people with activities of daily life. An aide typically helps a person who may need assistance with tasks he or she cannot perform due to illness or disability. The aides may work in a person’s home, in a group home, or in another care facility.
light housekeeping; meal planning and cooking; picking up prescriptions; and providing companionship. Aides typically will not provide skilled nursing care and may not be able to offer recommendations on treatment or medications.
Individuals can enlist the services of home health aides who work independently or are placed through agencies.
Sometimes a doctor or hospital has connections to aide services and can make referrals. It can be useful to interview
several potential aides to find one who will fit with the needs and personality of the person requiring assistance. A good aide is compassionate, patient, and flexible. As illness or injury also can affect a person’s mood, aides must be able to adjust if a client is reluctant to receive help or is depressed or anxious from his or her limitations. Home health aides serve an important role in the health care community by providing care and companionship to those who can no longer live independently.
Exercise provides a number of measurable benefits for people of all ages, including older adults. Swimming is one exercise that may be especially beneficial for seniors.
Many people learn to swim in childhood and sharpen that skill as they get older. Although swimming devotees may get in the water for fun rather than fitness, this pastime may be the ideal exercise for seniors looking to improve their overall health, particularly because it is very low-impact.
Because the water provides buoyancy, there is reduced risk of injury and minimal strain on the body. Water exercises, including swimming, work all the muscle groups, so it can be a complete exercise, says American Senior Communities. Swimming also is a great cardiovascular exercise that can strengthen the heart muscle and improve lung function and endurance. Because it lowers blood pressure and improves circulation, swimming is a great way to get the heart pumping.
A gentle, 30-minute swim can burn up to 200 calories, which is more than would be used when walking. A faster swim can burn calories more quickly than running or cycling, and since water supports up to 90% of the body’s weight, this activity will put less stress on muscles and joints while
one is exercising. Individuals with mobility issues or arthritis pain may find that swimming helps relieve discomfort and improves range of motion. The water is doing much of the work holding up the body, which takes the stress off joints, helping a person to feel better while moving.
Even seniors who don’t know how to swim can reap the benefits of water exercise. Walking in
shallow water or using a kickboard to stay above the water can be effective. Using foam dumbbells or even pushing and pulling one’s arms through the water can serve as a great resistance exercise that builds strength.
Swimming and additional water activities are great ways for seniors to stay in shape. As always, individuals should speak with their doctors before beginning any exercise regimen to ensure that it is safe.
AARP says home health aides are considered health care paraprofessionals and must meet established training requirements, which vary by location. Their duties may include assistance with personal care, such as dressing, toileting, feeding, and moving from a bed to a chair; checking vital signs; monitoring a client;

After multiple rounds of questions, Garden Spot FFA member Ava Immel was crowned the West Lampeter Fair queen of 2024. Mackenzie Westerlund, representing the Lampeter-Strasburg High School (LSHS) Student Council, was selected as the fair queen alternate. The contest included a farewell speech from 2023 West Lampeter Fair queen Sarah Blount, and it was followed by a firework display to close out the opening day of the fair.
In addition to multiple new events, the 2024 West Lampeter Community Fair included three extra days of activities. Between Sept. 23 and 27, the festivities included the annual baby parade, tractor games, a concert from LSHS’ marching band and the
All Western Horse Show. On Sept. 24, community members showed off their unique talents during the first ever Lampeter’s Got Talent show, which included musical performances and a demonstration from a local first responder.
Members of the Willow Street Fire Company tossed candy during the kids’ candy drop.
A display of fair memorabilia was set up for guests to see the evolution of the community tradition throughout the last century. The first fair took place in October 1924, and it was created as a way for students attending the West Lampeter Vocational High School to display their projects. In 1930, the event became a larger commu-
nity event held at West Lampeter High School, and it received state funding for commercial displays and dairy animals the following year. As the decades passed, the fair continued to incorporate new activities and local nonprofit organizations, eventually growing to become the annual tradition it is today.

Esther operates the Antique Village of Strasburg, an emporium of artifacts and curiosities located at 227 Hartman Bridge Road in Ronks. Esther’s property includes a storefront and two large warehouses, and each building is chock full of merchandise that has taken Esther decades to accumulate.
On most days, you can find Esther at the front desk of the main storefront. The building is a maze of long, glass display cases and shelves that store anything from ceramic dishes to vinyl records to knick-knacks from the early 20th century. When Esther isn’t ringing up sales, she’s on the hunt for new treasures at auctions in the local area and as far away as upstate New York.
After 25 years, Esther has no plans to leave the realm of antiquing any time soon. “This is my world. This is what I do,” Esther said. “Even though I’m 75 years old, I will keep going because I absolutely love it.”
While Esther is away, a closeknit staff of friends and fellow

Gary may not always understand the items Esther brings back to the Antique Village, but he said he trusts her intuition. “Sometimes I shake my head and say, ‘What were you thinking?’ But it’ll sell,” Gary added. “It always seems like there’s someone out there for everything.” Gary began working at Antique Village roughly 10 years
CASA posts movie showing
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lancaster and Lebanon Counties will host a family movie day at Penn Cinema, 541 Airport Road, Lititz, on Saturday, Oct. 12. The event will feature the newly released family adventure film “The Wild Robot,” which has a PG rating. Doors will open at 12:15 p.m., and the movie will begin at 12:30 p.m. and run for an hour and 42 minutes.
Produced by DreamWorks Animation, “The Wild Robot” is an
animated science fiction survival film based on the book series of the same name by Peter Brown.
The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot, Rozzum Unit 7134, that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
The movie showing is free and open to the community, but space

“I feel like I am successful because I have the staff that I do. They are exceptional,” Esther said. “I can step away from here and go to an auction for a day because I know I’m covered, and it’s a really good feeling. It took me years to get that.”
In addition to scouring auctions, Esther works with nearly 50 antiques dealers to procure new items for her inventory.
Antique Village’s impressive stock is also a result of Esther’s quality
standards for acquisitions. “A five-dollar item takes up the same amount of space as a thirty-dollar item,” Esther said. “If you don’t have good stuff, you’re not going to sell good stuff.
To celebrate Antique Village’s 25th anniversary, the store will hold a sale on Columbus Day weekend, Friday, Oct. 11, through Monday, Oct. 14. Items will be available to purchase at a discounted price under a large tent in the front yard during the store’s regular hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Artists from pg 1
Sept. 8, and it will remain at the museum until January 2025.
The exhibit includes JJ’s piece “Celestial Nights,” an intricate penon-paper drawing that contains hundreds of stars and small shapes. Like nearly all of JJ’s artworks, “Celestial Nights” was inspired by a specific pattern found in nature,
and the drawing took him several months to complete. Last year, JJ won first place in the Art of the State contest for his piece “Celestial Dreams,” and he was the youngest artist to be selected for the show in 2022 when he was 18 years old.
JJ and his mother, Carol, traveled to Harrisburg for the opening of this year’s exhibit, where JJ met hundreds of other artists and shared a few words about his drawing. “With JJ’s art, you just have to stand there and focus to take it all in,” Carol said. “We met a lot of people who really liked his work, and he was just honored to be picked as a finalist.”
In April 2025, JJ will have a display of artworks at the Lancaster Art Vault, 100 N. Queen St., Lancaster. The exhibit will include JJ’s photograph “Finding Joseph’s Colors,” a black and white self-portrait that stands out from the rest of his pieces.
“(Finding Joseph’s Colors) represents a feeling of humility and the journey to find my own colors and my life’s purpose,” JJ said. Carol added that JJ feels his life’s purpose is to help others find their colors in the same way he found his calling as an artist.
In recent months, JJ has been working on a new drawing titled “Seasons.” Although the new piece follows his theme of drawing inspiration from complex patterns found in nature, JJ has been branching
out to work in photography and other mediums this year. JJ also said he has started searching for patterns and complexities in music, compiling thousands of songs into playlists that feature piano compositions and numerous genres. JJ plans to create a YouTube channel in the near future as a way to share art and his other passions.
“I found inspiration in natural patterns by doing things my way. Anyone can go down their own path,” said JJ. “I plan to just keep making stuff that is as unique as possible but still follows the same pattern.”
JJ Roach displayed his drawing “Celestial Nights” during his time as a finalist in the annual Art of the State competition in Harrisburg.
“Finding Joseph’s Colors” by JJ Roach
JJ is currently working on another complex drawing inspired by the cycle of the seasons.
