Manheim Central
Manheim Central will host Baron Invitational
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Pageantry, showmanship and musicality will take center stage when the Manheim Central marching band hosts the annual Baron Invitational. The competition will take place on Saturday, Oct. 26, at Rettew Stadium on the grounds of Manheim Central High School, 350 Memorial Drive. The official start time will be announced closer to the date, but the event will begin in late afternoon.
Manheim Central has been hosting the invitational for 23 years. It offers an opportunity for bands from around the region to compete in a variety of categories. While bands come from as far away as the Shamokin and Coatesville areas, several local bands, including the Donegal, Manheim Central, Hempfield and Warwick high school bands, will join the Barons in the event.
“If you’ve never been to a
marching band competition, it is definitely something to put on your ‘must do’ list,” said Elizabeth Valdez, Manheim Central Baron booster vice president.
“Spectators are guaranteed to hear phenomenal music and witness amazing, choreographed performances. In addition, many of the shows include outstanding props that support each band’s theme. Anyone, regardless if they are age 5 or 95, will walk away with a sense of awe and joy after experiencing a competition.”
The Barons will highlight their performance with a 30-foot pirate ship joining them on the field.
“I’m so excited for this season because there’s so many awesome visuals being added, and the music is amazing,” said drum major Eden Marcott, a senior at Manheim Central. “I’m so proud of everyone, and it’s so amazing seeing them all improve immensely throughout the season.”
Drum major alternate Ashton Fritz agreed, noting that this particular group of band members works together well. “I believe we can achieve way further than what I’ve seen in years past,” said the Manheim Central junior. “Our theme is ‘Hoist of Colors’ and it basically goes through the story of the crew of a pirate ship.”
For band director John Brackbill, this season is shaping up to be a memorable one. “One of the biggest surprises this season is how quickly we’ve come together, how quickly the show has come together, from an alignment standpoint,” said Brackbill, who has been the marching band director for 16 years. “In the past, there has always been something where we’ve had tempo issues or something where things have pulled apart, but everything this season is locking in, and it’s real tight. It shouldn’t be a surprise; it’s just refreshing.”
Along with performances, the

Part of the mission of Reich’s Evangelical Congregational Church focuses on connecting with the community. The church will fulfill that goal with a free concert featuring the Mark Dubbeld Family. The concert will be held at the church, 338 Stackstown Road, Marietta, at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13.
“We want to bless people and give people the opportunity to gather together, to worship together and to be encouraged
together,” said pastor Dan Blank. “We want to minister to our community.”
The church has hosted concerts in the past, but nothing on the scale of this group, Blank said. The Mark Dubbeld Family comprises father Mark, mother Janene, daughter Elena and son Britton. The group has been featured on the “Gospel Greats” radio program, has performed at Dollywood and has participated in the National Quartet Convention in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. The band also participated in

“They were nominated as one of the top five new artists of the year by the Singing News (Magazine) fan awards in 2022,” Blank shared. “They are known for their original music that they write and their tight harmony. We’ve never had them perform in our church before, but we are really excited to host them.”

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.
ease. 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.
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 Dis-
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.
Seniors can swim their way to improved health
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.
ming, 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
Because the water provides buoyancy, there is reduced risk of injury and minimal strain on the body. Water exercises, including swim -

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 ill -
ness or disability. The aides may work in a person’s home, in a group home, or in another care facility.
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; 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.
How nutritional needs change with age
Healthy eating is important at any age and can set the course for vitality and wellness. Sufficient nutrition can help prevent chronic illnesses and make sure that growing bodies develop properly. As one ages, various changes take place in the body, making healthy eating even more essential.
According to Healthline, nutritional deficiencies can affect aging individuals, which can decrease quality of life and lead to poor health outcomes. Individuals should pay attention to their vitamin and mineral intake at various ages so they do not miss out on important nutrients.
As individuals age, they may notice they do not need to consume as many calories, noted Connie Bales, associate director of the Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center at Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
People require fewer calories every decade because they are moving around less and have less muscle mass. This change causes a decline in metabolic rate.
However, even though caloric needs go down with age, it is important to pack as much nutrition into the calories a person does consume. That means finding nutrient-rich foods like whole grains, fruits, nuts, beans, vegetables, and fish.
In addition, aging people should consume more lean protein. Muscle loss and loss of strength can develop as a person ages. Healthline says the average adult loses 3% to 8% of his or her muscle mass each decade after age 30. Eating more protein could help aging bodies maintain muscle.
People should also eat fortified cereals and grains, as the ability to absorb vitamin B12 can decrease as one gets older and with the use of certain medicines.
Many health professionals recommend patients get more vitamin B12 by consuming foods enriched with this vitamin. Vita -
min supplements may be needed in addition to food.
Drinking more fluids is important. Health.com says the sensation of thirst declines with age, so people should be sure to drink water and other fluids. Doing so also helps with digestion.
People should prioritize bone health. Osteoporosis is a concern for older adults, particularly women who have reached menopause. Osteoporosis occurs when bones become brittle and can break from only the slightest bump or fall, says the Mayo Clinic. Vitamin D and calcium help strengthen bones, and
older adults may need more of these nutrients. Individuals should speak with their health care providers and nutritionists for further insight into their changing nutritional needs. Such professionals can help customize diets to address specific health concerns.
Swim from pg 4
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.

The group’s theme for the year is “Trust.” Through Scripture study, testimonies, and instruction, attendees will explore what it means to trust the Lord.

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,
Amishman from Wayne County, Ohio

1190 Lancaster Road, Manheim. The event will begin with a family fest at 9 a.m., and the convoy will depart at 1:30 p.m.
“We made the decision to move the Make-A-Wish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy to the day before Mother’s Day following careful consideration and at the recommendation of our safety committee,” said Jennifer Davis, president and CEO of Make-AWish Philadelphia, Delaware & Susquehanna Valley. “While the event is moving to Saturday, May 10th, everything else remains the same - celebrating the same cherished traditions, bringing together drivers, wish families and the community. This change will keep the convoy a safe and amazing experience for all, allowing even greater participation and volunteer involvement. Now, everyone can enjoy both the convoy and their Mother’s Day celebrations without conflict.”
Each year, the event raises funds to grant life-changing wishes for children facing critical illness. Money raised specifically through the convoy plays a crucial part in granting up to 75% of the wishes of children in the Susquehanna Valley.
While a major highlight of the event is the truck convoy that travels through Lancaster County, the entire day is an opportunity to enjoy family fun and fellowship, Davis said.
“If you’ve never experienced the Make-A-Wish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy before, now is the perfect

time to join us,” she remarked. “Expect a day filled with joy, community spirit and inspiring stories as we celebrate the power of wishes. You’ll see an incredible display of trucks and meet the amazing drivers who are the heart and soul of this event.” Before the convoy kicks off, the event will feature a family fest with games, food trucks and vendors.
Even with the date change, the spirit of the Make-A-Wish Truck Convoy remains the same, Davis said.
“This is not just an event; it’s a heartfelt gathering that brings hope and smiles to children facing critical illnesses,” she shared. “We can’t wait to welcome you to this unforgettable experience!”
Headquartered in Phoenix, Ariz., Make-A-Wish is a children’s wish-granting organization that serves children in every community in the United States and in more than 50 countries worldwide. Since 1986, Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware & Susquehanna Valley has fulfilled more than 8,300 wishes for local children with critical illnesses.
