A little library with a big impact
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
In July, Aaron Freas of Lampeter officially opened a free community book station with the help of his parents, Al and Janene Freas. The small library, named Linus and Lucy’s Little Free Library, is located at the Freases’ home on Glebe Lane near Rockvale Road, and it is one of many ways 26-year-old Aaron connects with his local community.
Many people in the Lampeter and Quarryville areas know Aaron for his infectious positivity and love for meeting people in the community. Aaron uses a wheelchair and requires an augmentative speaking device to communicate, but it doesn’t stop him from handing out pins with his original artwork on them and shaking hands with everyone he meets.
“Everybody has their own abilities to make a difference in the world,” Al said. “For some people,
making that difference takes more effort. But when Aaron makes an impact, it’s a lasting one.” In June, Al retired after teaching mathematics at George A. Smith Middle School in Solanco School District, but he said he and Aaron still have plenty of friends and know familiar faces in the Quarryville community.
After Al retired from teaching, he began to brainstorm with Aaron and Janene to find a project to complete over the summer. Aaron and Janene had been toying with the idea of setting up a community book station for many years, and the family decided it was finally time to take on the endeavor. Once Al, Janene and Aaron purchased an outdoor bookcase, they had local utility companies check the property to ensure its safe installation, and Linus and Lucy’s Little Free Library officially opened on July 5. Aaron adorned the library with decorations, and he frequently scours yard sales and

Of all the holidays traditionally celebrated around the world, Halloween is one of the most unique - and most peculiarcelebrations of the year. When autumn ushers in the start of the holiday season, many people first think of Thanksgiving turkeys and Christmas gifts as the colder months approach. But Halloween, a day that one might regard as the delinquent younger sibling in the family of holidays, has a long history of odd customs that set it apart from Yuletide and Easter, and residents of Lancaster County

In 2020, nature preserves, hiking trails and state parks across the United States saw a massive increase in visitors as Americans sought activities that were unaffected by COVID-19 safety restrictions. Outdoor escapes offered an alternative to social gatherings and indoor events that were temporarily placed on hold, and many people
found refuge in nature. Lancaster County is rife with lush parks and scenic hiking trails, but Kelly’s Run Nature Preserve in Holtwood became one of the most popular destinations for stir-crazy local residents to escape to. Four years later, Lancaster Conservancy has announced an expansion project that will increase the size of the park by 43 acres.
After the expansion, Kelly’s Run Nature Preserve will encompass

Little library
thrift stores for new books to stock
Linus and Lucy’s Little Free Library is officially registered through nonprofit organization Little Free Library’s network of book stations. Aaron can request new releases directly from publishers through the organization, and he recently received two copies of a new book selected by Good Morning America (GMA) for its monthly book club. Every month, GMA distributes its book club pick to 150 Little Free Library locations across the country, and Aaron was one of four recipients chosen in Pennsylvania.
Aaron rotates new books through the library every one to two weeks to offer a diverse range of genres to visitors, from children’s picture books to

adult fiction. The Freas family enjoys visiting other Little Free Library affiliates for inspiration and ideas to make the station as helpful as possible. During the summer, Aaron stocked the library with packets of seeds for gardeners, and he has included other items such as tea bags, bookmarks and Halloween goodie bags. “Aaron loves going out and checking the library to see what books people have taken or dropped off,” Al said. “He’s really happy to see people take one, because he knows they’ll enjoy it.”
Aaron regularly posts new arrivals at Linus and Lucy’s Little Free Library on his Instagram page, @aaronfreas. To view the location of the library and other Little Free Library affiliates, visit https://littlefreelibrary .org/map.
Fall Fest planned at Village Park
A Fall Fest will be held on Saturday, Oct. 26, at Village Park, 800 Village Road, Lancaster. The Lampeter-Strasburg YMCA will host its fourth annual Trunk or Treat and costume contest from 4:30 to 7 p.m. in partnership with West Lampeter Township and the Lampeter-Strasburg Youth Soccer Pumpkin Trail.
The festival will include food
trucks, face painting, a contest to select the most popular trunk and a carved pumpkin contest. For more information, to register to be a trunk host or to enter the pumpkin carving contest, contact Desi Mencarini at the Lampeter-Strasburg YMCA at rmencarini@ rosesymca.org or Rebecca Denlinger at West Lampeter Township at rebecca@westlampeter.com.
have added their own traditions to the mix over many years.
Halloween originated as All Hallows’ Eve, taking place before the annual Christian celebration of All Hallows’ Day on Nov. 1. The evening signifies the beginning of Allhallowtide, a time of year when Christians honor saints, martyrs and departed souls who are yet on their journey to heaven. All Hallows’ Day has been observed for more than a thousand years, but the Halloween we know in modern times is the product of various cultures and traditions picked up through the centuries. Similarly to Christmas, All Hallows’ Eve adopted many customs that historians attribute to Celtic societies, including the Gaelic festival Samhain. Samhain marked the beginning of winter in the ancient Gaelic calendar, and its rituals involved offering food, drinks and crops to wayward spirits and wandering souls who may arrive at the door. By the 16th century, Scottish celebrators practiced “guising,” the annual tradition of performing door to door to earn food and treats. Many “guisers” carried turnips carved with faces and
symbols to scare away evil spirits, a custom that was inspired by an Irish folk tale.
Irish and Scottish immigrants brought many Halloween traditions to the United States, and the rituals continued to evolve as the country developed. Turnips were replaced by pumpkins, as they are native to North America and easier to carve. As popular media began to include macabre fictions and what eventually became the horror genre, Halloween celebrations started incorporating skeletons, ghosts and vampires.
Many parts of the country developed their own unique Halloween traditions, and Lancaster County is no exception. “I heard stories of people who would go out and tip over outhouses as a prank (in Washington Boro),” said Charlie Douts, president of Blue Rock Heritage Center and lifelong resident of the area. Douts added that children throughout the Southern End would often shuck ears of corn and toss them onto porches to make residents wonder if a restless ghost had arrived for dinner.
As one of the first colonized
areas in America, Lancaster has a multitude of allegedly haunted houses, spectral residents and other folk tales derived from its rich history. Although ghost sightings cannot be confirmed, every part of the county has its own nuanced accounts of paranormal encounters. Today, visitors travel from across the country to visit Field of Screams, a haunted attraction located in the cornfields of Mountville. Churches and service organizations throughout the county offer more family-friendly activities such as Trunk or Treats and fall festivals for the community to enjoy.
The end of October is approaching quickly, and the spookiest day of the year is but one week away. May this be a reminder to stock your candy bowls for young trick-or-treaters, and if you visit Washington Boro, it may be wise to exercise caution when using an outhouse.

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.
Sincerely, Anonymous Amishman from Wayne County, Ohio

more than 500 acres. The acquisition includes an additional quarter mile of Kelly’s Run Stream and a portion of forested land. The additional acreage will serve as a buffer between adjacent farmland and the waterway, as well as a sanctuary for human recreation and a vital habitat for local wildlife. The nature preserve currently includes a pollinator meadow, verdant woodlands and a glen populated with native rhododendrons.
“We’re always looking at what’s adjacent to our nature preserves when starting a new project. We want to make sure we can connect them to the landscape and other
preserves, protecting as many water resources as we can,” said Kathie Gonick, Lancaster Conservancy’s senior vice president of land protection and general counsel. “Kelly’s Run is a beautiful stream. This buffer of forest will keep it clean and clear, as well as a better habitat for creatures.”
During the surge of visitors during the pandemic, Gonick said she and other Lancaster Conservancy staff members would frequently volunteer to spend their weekends at Kelly’s Run Nature Preserve, offering information to hikers and answering questions. Gonick added that the preserve’s
proximity to Pinnacle Scenic Overlook Nature Preserve, in addition to its scenic vistas and conveniently accessible parking lot, contribute to the popularity of Kelly’s Run. Pinnacle Scenic Overlook became part of the Susquehannock State Park two years ago, after Lancaster Conservancy transferred stewardship of the property to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
Now that the expansion project at Kelly’s Run Nature Preserve is officially underway, Lancaster Conservancy will proceed with its next phase, which will entail thorough documentation of the property and research on its natural resources prior to the acquisition. Once the property is acquired, the conservancy’s stewardship department will start developing a plan to ensure that the addition can seamlessly integrate with the existing land.
Lancaster Conservancy estimates that the project will take a few years to complete.
Kelly’s Run Nature Preserve is open to visitors daily from dawn until dusk, and parking is available at the intersection of Street Road and Crystal Drive.

The nature preserve encompasses hundreds of acres of natural woodlands that serve as a haven for local wildlife as well as human visitors.
comes up,” said Sauder, a Willow Street resident who’s been MTFR’s fleet mechanic for nine years. “If you’re in the middle of a call, you’re not going to get there if something breaks down. My goal is to have that piece (apparatus) as close to 100% as it can be when it leaves the station. I can’t say to the guys, ‘Try it and see if it works.’”
In the early days of September, Sauder was honored as the national publication Firehouse Magazine’s 2024 Emergency Vehicle Technician (EVT) of the Year. After receiving nominations from across the country, the magazine selected Sauder for the prestigious award because of his standard of excellence and the safety records exhibited by the emergency vehicles under his care.
“Chief (Scott) Little nominated me last year, and I finished like 22nd or 23rd, but I didn’t know he nominated me again this year,” said Sauder. “When he called me up to his office, he said, ‘You’re no longer a runner-up. You are “the man.” (Firehouse Magazine officials) did the review, and you’re the new EVT of the Year.’ I just said, ‘Oh, my word.’ So, I called my wife and said, ‘You’re not going to believe this.’ At one time, I didn’t even know they had such an award.”
“This recognition is not just about technical skills; it’s also about the dedication and heart that Lamar brings to work every day,” said Little. “Whether it’s working long hours to fix a critical issue or going above and beyond to support the MTFR team, Lamar’s efforts make a profound difference in the work we do. The title of Emergency Vehicle Technician of the Year is a mark of exceptional achievement, and it is with great pride that we recognize him for this well-deserved accolade.”
Sauder works full time at MTFR, and his responsibilities include fixing and maintaining 18 emergency vehicles.
Much of what he does revolves around inspections, staying up to date on regulations, keeping records and completing minor to medium-size repairs. But some issues that arise go beyond Sauder’s realm of expertise.
“It’s a never-ending job,” said Sauder. “I work four 10-hour days, and I’m on call 24/7. Sometimes I can work through things over the phone with questions and answers. Sometimes I have to come in. Some of it is stuff you pick up.”
Sauder, who’s been a volunteer at Willow Street Fire Company for nearly 50 years in addition to working full time at MTFR, has just always been good with his hands.
“My dad was a fire apparatus technician, and when I was 8 or 10 years old, I worked with him,” said Sauder. “I saw his work ethic. A broken-down fire truck helps no one, but it affects a lot of people.” For additional information about Manheim Township Fire Rescue, go to www.mtfr.net.
