“This is what Christ requires of us - to take care of people,” said Steph Heisey, referring to a free community meal that will be offered at Ruhl’s Church. “We help people who are in need when we do this.” The church, located at 4810 Elizabethtown Road,

Manheim, will host a live Nativity and drive-through Christmas meal on Saturday, Dec. 23, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The menu will feature ham, a baked potato, green beans and a dessert.

Fifteen years ago, Tyler Stumpf and his friend Jeff Andrews were sitting around “solving the world’s problems,” Stumpf recalled with a laugh, when they came up with an idea. “We said, ‘Let’s go for a ride on New Year’s Day,’” said the avid motorcycle rider. “A few other people heard about our plans, and we had 11 participants that first year.” The group decided to raise

money with the ride, donating the proceeds to the Lebanon VA Medical Center. “I think we might have raised $400 that first year,” Stumpf said. “This event turned into much more than I ever could have expected.” He’s not kidding. Last year’s New Year’s Day ride featured the most participants ever upward of 500 bikes and 600 people - and raised more than $32,000. So far, the group has donated more than $270,000 to veterans.

Creative Works sets “A Christmas Carrie” Creative Works of Lancaster will bring its sock puppets back to the stage this December with the return of “A Christmas Carrie,” featuring an original script by playwright Erich Goldstein. Performances will take place on Friday, Dec. 15, at 6, 8, and 10 p.m. in the theater at Zoetropolis, 112 N. Water St., Lancaster. Based on the 1976 film version of “Carrie” - which is rated R - it combines the telekinetic prom queen with the time travel of “A Christ-

mas Carol” and reimagined versions of musical hits. This production is not recommended for children. It is the latest offering in Creative Works of Lancaster’s series of sock puppet film parodies, with previous shows including “Sock Puppet Psycho,” “The Sockfather,” “Silence of the Socks,” and “Jaws to the World.” Creative Works utilizes a pay what you decide ticketing model with no fixed ticket prices. Attendees pay what they think the experience was worth after the show. Tickets can be reserved at www.creativelancaster.org.

“People can see Joseph and Mary with the Son of God in a straw-filled manger,” said Kris Gray, who is helping to organize the event. Event committee member Randi Myer will bring a miniature horse named Jellybean to the Nativity, with the possible addition of other animals. “This will be an opportunity for people to drive up and see what it was like in Bethlehem when baby Jesus was born,” she said. For the first hour of the event, members of the congregation will sing Christmas carols, and people are invited to park their cars and join in. For the second hour, recorded selections of Christmas music will be played. The meal is provided free of charge, although a donation box will be set up on-site for anyone who wants to give. “I hear a lot of neat stories from people when I take their reservations for the meal,” said Barb Dunmire, a member of the event committee. “People are very thankful that we do this. When we put the meal in their car to go, they are just so grateful to receive it.” Last year, the church members served 420 meals, and Gray noted

Bird club to host researchers, bird counts The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet Thursday, Dec. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. Jeff Larkin, a biology professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, along with three of his graduate students, will present “Ornithology Research Update: Scarlet Tanagers and Ruffed Grouse.” Larkin and the graduate students will report on their research on the decline of ruffed grouse and scarlet tanager. The students’ research studies the causes of decline over a period of decades, methods to gather data, and possible solutions to reverse the decline of these birds in Pennsylvania. Students Jacob Goldman and Randall Koleck are studying the effects of habitat management on ruffed grouse, including using various technologies to determine the effects of various types of habitats on grouse occupancy. Student Tyler Hodges, specializing in avian ecology, is studying high-quality breeding habitat that supports scarlet tanagers and how forestry management practices affect tanagers both with positive and negative outcomes. A short business meeting will precede the program. The event is free and open to the public. The club will also sponsor four Lancaster County Christmas Bird Counts. Since 1900, the National Audubon Society has conducted a bird census called the Christmas

Bird Count, with much of the leg work done by volunteers. All levels of birders, including backyard watchers, can help with the citizen science effort. The data collected have been invaluable for studying bird population trends, migration patterns, and conservation policy. Participants will be assigned to a team with leaders who are acquainted with their areas. Backyard birders must register with the appropriate contact person prior to the event to determine if their home is within the count circle. The local events and their contact people are as follows: Sunday, Dec. 17, Solanco, Derek Stoner, 484-723-3348 or derek stoner@hotmail.com; Saturday, Dec. 23, Lancaster, Roger Stoner, 717-393-9030; and Sunday, Dec. 31, Lititz, Ted Nichols, 717-8563851 or tanicholsii@gmail.com. Additionally, the Christmas Bird Count for Kids will be held at the Lancaster County Central Park on Dec. 23. It is designed to teach children about birding. Participants must register by calling the park at 717-295-2055. For more information, contact John Lahr, 717-205-3030 or johnlahr324@ gmail.com. Adults without kids are welcome. For more information on any LCBC events, call 717-856-3851 or 717-7252717 or visit www.lancasterbird club.org or www.facebook.com/ lancasterbirdclub.
