Music on the Mountain

Event to feature bluegrass and gospel performers

Makers Fair to highlight local business vendors

BY FRANCINE FULTON

An end-of-summer Makers Market, featuring locally owned business vendors, will be held on Saturday, Aug. 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Beale Manor, 200 S. Church St., Parkesburg. The event will also include a prize drawing, a cereal drive to benefit the Octorara Area Food Cupboard and an opportunity for a local teacher to win school supplies.

The Makers Market is being presented by Megan Kauffman, owner of Balms & Bombs by Megan, which began in September of 2022. Kauffman does not have a brick and mortar facility to sell her products, so she has participated in similar shopping venues, including local craft fairs.

“I like to plan and coordinate things. I wanted to plan a vendor event for other small businesses in the area,” she said of the first-time event.

Musicon the Mountain, featuring performances by notable bluegrass and gospel musicians, children’s activities and food, will take place on Friday, Aug. 18, from 5 to 9 p.m. and on Saturday, Aug. 19, from 1 to 9 p.m. at the King residence, located at 637 Gault Road in Gap.

The event is being presented by For One Life, a nonprofit organization with a goal of “making a positive impact on communities in need.” The organization funds building projects in India and around the world, with a primary focus on

schools and children’s homes.

This is the fourth year for the event, which takes place on the property of Merv King from King Construction in New Holland. “(King) is a supporter, and he is letting us use his property for the fourth year,” said Chris Straka, CEO of For One Life.

Straka estimates that more than 2,000 people attended last year’s event. “Our tent seats about 900, and it was full both nights, and there were lawn chairs all around,” he stated.

This year’s performers are Amos Raber, Country Road Ramblers, David Miller, John Schmid, Dan and

Amanda Esh, The Churchmen and The Deanes. “We wanted to make sure everyone has a really good experience, so we hired (professional audio and visual technicians),” noted Straka. “It is a professional-quality sound system, with a 17-foot LED wall to augment the activities.”

For children, there will be bounce houses and games, a dunk tank and arts and crafts. Adults will be able to try their hand at ax throwing. “We are dedicating a large amount of space for the children’s area,” said Straka. “We are doing activities with kids on Friday night and all day Saturday, so families feel comfortable coming

and spending an evening with their kids.”

There will be a variety of food trucks on hand, including Skip’s Food Truck, Welder’s Steak Shack, Swirls of Delight, Character Coffee, Auntie Anne’s, Anytime Acai and Country Smokehouse Barbecue and Catering.

Straka noted that volunteers are utilized to ensure that the event runs smoothly. “We started planning right after last year’s event,” he said. “We have a core committee of 10 people, and we have 30 to 40 volunteers parking cars and (performing other duties).”

Vendors at the Makers Market will offer arts and crafts; baked goods; self-care items, such as lip balm, bath bombs and goat milk soap; and sustainable plants, including houseplants and freshcut arrangements. The vendors will be located both inside and outside Beale Manor.

“We focused on (attracting businesses from) the Parkesburg area and 15 miles around it,” said Kauffman. “The close-knit community did not disappoint with their interest. We will have 28 vendors and two food trucks. Blue Wren Coffee House and Chef & Company will (open) promptly at 10 a.m.”

Gap Relief Sale will celebrate 75th anniversary

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

The annual Gap Relief Sale will be held on Friday, Aug. 11, and Saturday, Aug. 12, at the Solanco Fairgrounds, 172 S. Lime St., Quarryville. The fundraising event will include auctions, hot meals and live music, and the proceeds will support the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).

On Friday, the auction preview and pork roast dinner will begin at 4 p.m. The preview will be open until 6:30 p.m., and meals will be available to purchase for eat-in or takeout until 7 p.m. From 6:30 to 7:15 p.m., a member of MCC will

speak alongside a special offering, followed by group singing. The auction will officially kick off at 7:15 p.m.

On Saturday, the event will begin with a country breakfast that will consist of pancakes, sausages and eggs. After breakfast, auctions will begin at various times in each of the buildings at the fairgrounds.

In block one, a household item and craft auction will start at 8:30 a.m., followed by a large furniture auction at 11 a.m. Special items to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the sale will be available to bid on at noon, including a large quilt ornamented with the Gap Relief Sale logo. At 1 p.m., quilts and quilted wall decorations will be up for bids. In block two, farm equipment and workshop tools will be among the items auctioned off at 9 a.m. In block three, a sale of children’s items will begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by an auction of lawn furniture, shrubbery and other outdoor items. In block four, any excess items from the food stands will be available to purchase, including subs and pulled pork. From 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., a bounce house and barrel train rides will be available to children.

The first sale was held at

the farm of Leon Summers in Gap. The event was created by locals who wished to support MCC, and it was held every other year until 1990, when it became an annual event. The sale changed locations multiple times before permanently relocating to the Solanco Fairgrounds.

All of the event’s proceeds will benefit MCC, which is headquartered in Akron. MCC is an international ministry of Anabaptist churches that acquires resources for the purpose of offering relief to communities around the globe that are in need. The special offering on Friday will

be used to fund MCC’s relief efforts in Ukraine.

The items that will be available during the sale have all been donated by individuals and local businesses. Among the items is a restored 1951 Farmall tractor, provided by Double H Tractor Service in Ephrata.

“The sale gives the local community an easy way to support MCC while acquiring something you might need,” said Levi Glick, who is helping to coordinate the event.

To donate an item for the auction, interested parties may call 717-617-9746 to arrange for drop-off or pickup.

Learn to tame traffic-related stress

Most drivers have experienced aggravation while navigating the nation’s roadways. In fact, the automotive group AAA estimates that nearly eight out of 10 drivers demonstrate aggressive driving behaviors. Road rage is the extreme outcome of impa-

tience or frustration behind the wheel and often stems from traffic-related stress. Drivers can take steps to reduce stress and recognize behaviors that may contribute to road rage.

Don’t rush. Leave plenty time to get to a destination.

Drivers are more likely to be impatient and react to traffic stressors if they are racing the clock.

Calm down. Drivers who experience something that has angered or upset them should take time to calm down before getting behind the wheel.

Be patient. Recognize that someone driving slowly may be lost or aging with diminished abilities.

Keep a safe distance. Tailgating can create animosity between drivers. By leaving room, people can avoid aggressive interactions between drivers that can contribute to frustration.

Do not honk unnecessarily. Honking out of frustration is unproductive and also may exacerbate stress levels and anger other drivers.

Take an alternative route. Drivers who know that certain roadways are plagued by traffic may want to find another route to avoid the traffic, even if the new route is longer.

Among the items that will be available to bid on is a restored 1951 Farmall tractor.

Scout groups to celebrate 75th anniversary

The event will include a Pinewood Derby, and attendees are invited to bring their car, no matter how old. Other activities will include a wooden boat regatta, box hockey games, a fire-building contest, hot dog roasting, and Scout patch and memorabilia displays. Food and drinks will be available. Admission is free.

box of cereal. “I contacted the food cupboard a few months ago, and with summertime ending and the school year coming up, they asked if we could have a cereal drive,” said Kauffman, noting that she will drop off the boxes of cereal at the food cupboard on Tuesday, Aug. 15.

Additionally, more than 12 vendors have donated prizes that will be awarded through a random drawing. The items will be on display throughout the day, and attendees can purchase tickets to win the items they are interested in.

“All proceeds will benefit a local teacher’s wish list for the upcoming school year,” Kauffman explained. “Visitors can nominate a teacher that day. We will have index cards (to list) their name, what school they teach in and their email. You can submit their entire wish list printed out or (provide) an online link (to the wish list). At the end, we will draw the winner of the teacher’s wish list that we will be fulfilling.”

Kauffman, who is a resident of Christiana, said that she hopes to make the Makers Market a regularly sched-

uled event held at various locations. “We want to do it quarterly,” she added. “The next one is in November.”

The community is invited to enjoy an evening of music at Cochranville United Methodist Church’s Music Fest, set for Sunday, Aug. 13, at 3 p.m. The event will take place outdoors in the church parking lot. Attendees are asked to bring lawn chairs for seating.

Featured will be the Rockdale Boys from Delaware County, which will perform bluegrass and gospel music. “They have been playing together for 20 years,” noted pastor Jimmy Montgomery. “They play at Longwood Gardens, at Delaware County’s Summer Fest at Rose Tree Park and at churches and camp meetings.”

“Our music is bluegrass and acoustic, mostly gospel since we’re playing at the church,” noted band member Debbie Durant, who plays the bass and is a vocalist. “We have four lead singers and sing a lot of harmonies. We have fun on stage, too.”

Montgomery’s granddaughter, singer Jamie Marie, will be the other featured performer. She will highlight songs from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. “(She will perform) the music of women from those eras,” Montgomery noted. “She has done concerts (featuring the music of) Patsy Cline and of Loretta Lynn. Her most recent was Karen Carpenter.”

Montgomery said that his granddaughter has inherited his fondness for older music. “I love the old hymns and the old standards. She has a great voice

and has had musical training, and she will do a good job,” he said, adding that he may join her for a song on stage.

Support group to resume for those who are grieving

BY FRANCINE FULTON

After an absence because of the pandemic, GriefShare sessions will once again be offered for the community at Gateway Church, 160 Cowan Road, Parkesburg. GriefShare, which will be facilitated by Paul and Twila Ranck, is a free support group for those who have experienced the death of a family member or friend.

Meetings will begin on Tuesday, Aug. 15, at 6:30 p.m., and they will run every Tuesday through Nov. 7. People can attend GriefShare at any time because each meeting is self-contained; participants do not have to attend in sequence.

The Rancks have been facilitating GriefShare sessions since 2002. “(During the pandemic,) we were in the middle of a session, and (it) ground to a halt,” said Twila, noting that a session with limited attendance was offered in 2021. “We are back and ready for a fresh start. It’s the same curriculum, but it has been updated.”

The nondenominational program features Christ-centered, biblical teaching that focuses on grief topics associated with the death of loved

Ways to give back to seniors

one. At each of the GriefShare sessions, which are designed for people age 15 and older, attendees watch a video that features reallife stories of people who have experienced loss. “The group will then discuss the video together,” said Twila.

The topic for the opening meeting on Aug. 15 will be “Is This Normal?” In this session, attendees will be introduced to the GriefShare program. The session will also explain what living with grief is like, why people should not be ashamed of their grief and why they should not rush through the healing process.

Upcoming sessions will include Aug. 22, “Your Grief Journey”; Aug. 29, “Loneliness and Sadness”; and Sept. 5, “Self-Care.”

GriefShare is for those who have experienced a recent loss, as well as those who have been grieving for years. Twila noted that some people repeat the entire course or just the sessions that deal with a particular topic. Also, people grieving a recent loss are welcome to attend the program again after some time has passed.

She pointed out that at times, friendships continue outside of the meetings. “Sometimes (participants) form their own support group within the group,” Twila noted.

GriefShare attendees should enter through the church’s main door and follow the signs to the meeting room. Child care will not be available.

For more information about the GriefShare session at Gateway Church or to register, visit www.grief share.org/groups/170824. Walk-ins will also be welcome. More information about the GriefShare program is available at www.griefshare.org.

Older adults offer much to local and national communities, but they do not always get the proper recognition. It is always a good time for people to thank special seniors in their life, whether they are family members, caregivers, friends or mentors. Individuals can go a step further by giving back to other seniors in their community in any of the following ways.

Volunteer. It is recommended that people visit a senior center and find out how they can volunteer their services and do something fun or informational with the seniors who are there. Volunteers may be able to guide a class in a certain activity, such as crafting or yoga, or they may be needed to call bingo numbers or help with meal services.

Provide financial relief. Small business owners can offer discounts to senior clientele. They can run specials on services from tax preparation to hair styling. People who do not own businesses can provide assistance in other ways, such as cutting the lawn or doing light gardening so that a senior does not have to spend money on a weekly service.

Tutor technology. Those who are tech savvy can help

seniors navigate new technologies. They can help seniors with social media accounts, downloading digital photos and more.

Dine out (or in). Some seniors may be alone if a spouse has predeceased them or if they are divorced. Loneliness may grow into depression. One way to help a senior feel appreciated is by sharing meals together. Designate a day or two each week to gather at the dinner table.

Serve as a chauffeur. Offer to drive a senior to a store or appointments. While communities may have taxi services or even accessible senior rides, sometimes it can be more efficient for seniors to rely on others for rides. People may also take a senior along when shopping at the supermarket.

Invite seniors to events. Those who have a special event coming up, such as a child’s birthday or graduation, or a religious occasion, may invite a senior neighbor to the celebration. The event may brighten the senior’s day and provide a change of routine and scenery.

There is no shortage of ways for people to give back to the seniors in their life and in their community.

Mountain will support For One Life’s projects in Northeast India, which include youth and child development, education and life care. “Michael Esh, the founder of For One Life, came to know about this area through Bibles For The World 20 years ago,” Straka explained. “He did work for them and fell in love with the area and has gone back ever since.”

Those who attend Music on the Mountain will have an opportunity to learn more

about the organization. “We do some presentations from the stage during the concert. We have programs that we hand out, and all of our volunteers can talk about what we do here at For One Life,” Straka said, noting that the first 1,000 in attendance will receive goodie bags.

REAL ESTATE AUCTION

TUESDAY, AUG. 15 • 5:30 P.M.

The Chester County Department of Community Development (DCD) recently received a $375,000 Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement (PHARE) award from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. DCD will use the funds for its Street Outreach and Data Team reinforcement efforts, which help to serve the needs of unsheltered Chester County residents. The funds will help the team to enhance its data tracking capabilities, noted Dolores Colligan, director of the Chester County DCD.

The DCD award was part of more than $3 million in funding given to organizations

throughout Chester County that help ensure housing security, assist people experiencing homelessness, build new affordable housing, and provide case management. Many of these organizations are partners of the Chester County Partnership to End Homelessness, located within the DCD.

Since the pandemic began in 2020, the Street Outreach Team has assisted unsheltered Chester County individuals and families in finding suitable shelter. For more information on Chester County’s Partnership to End Homelessness and how to participate in ending homelessness in Chester County, go to https://endhomelessness chesco.org/partner-with-us.

Breakfast long has been touted as the most important meal of the day. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, research shows that breakfast helps people maintain healthy weights and control blood sugar and keep it steady throughout the day. Breakfast also could be linked to heart health. A 2017 study in the Journal of the American

College of Cardiology reported that people who skip breakfast are more likely to have arteriosclerosis, a condition that occurs when the arteries narrow and harden due to a buildup of plaque. People who do not eat breakfast also are more likely to weigh more and have higher blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Veterans’ Trust Fund grants awarded

Twelve Pennsylvania county Veterans Affairs offices will receive $150,000 in grants, and 21 charitable or Veteran Service Organizations will receive $650,000 in grants from the Veterans’ Trust Fund (VTF), administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA).

The VTF is funded by Pennsylvanians who voluntarily make a donation when applying for or renewing their driver’s license, photo ID, or motor vehicle registration.

Additionally, the VTF receives proceeds from the sale of the Honoring Our Veterans and Honoring Our Women Veterans license plates and private donations. Since the grant program began in 2013, a

total of more than $6.6 million has been awarded to organizations that serve Pennsylvania veterans.

Grantees slated to receive funding identified over $2 million in matching funds pledged toward grant-funded initiatives. Combined with the VTF grants, the fundraising efforts will result in more than $2.8 million for veterans’ initiatives in Pennsylvania over the next two years.

A total of $150,000 in grant funding was available for new, innovative, or expanded programs or services provided by county directors of Veterans Affairs or the Pennsylvania Association of County Directors of Veterans Affairs. The three areas of emphasis for grantees in this

category were veterans’ outreach, transportation services, and homelessness.

Among the grantees was the Chester County Office of Veterans Affairs, which receive $15,000 to provide outreach and awareness services to veterans.

The VTF grant also identified $650,000 in funding available to veteran service organizations with 501(c)(19) status and nonprofit, 501(c)(3) charitable organizations with a mission of serving Pennsylvania veterans. Funding priorities for grants in this category were transportation services, behavioral health initiatives, homelessness, and employment and education.

The grantees include Building Bridges Foundation at

There are plenty of nutritional breakfasts people can whip up in just a short time. According to WebMD, the basic formula for a healthy breakfast involves pairing carbohydrates with protein. The carbs give the body energy and the brain fuel, while protein provides a feeling of fullness and staying power to make it to the next meal. People may try the following options.

• Homemade energy bars: Some people reach for prepackaged cereal bars or granola bars when they are on the go. Homemade bars allow people to customize the ingredients so they eat what they like. Customization also allows people to include superfoods, like blueberries, protein-rich nuts, quinoa, or dried cherries.

• Oatmeal: Oatmeal is a breakfast staple that is full of healthy fiber. Oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels naturally. Turning regular oatmeal into “overnight oats” means you can pack these parfaits with Greek yogurt, fruit, nuts, and other ingredients you enjoy.

• Avocado toast: Avocados are full of heart-healthy essential fatty acids. By mashing avocados into a paste, spreading on top of a whole-grain slice of toast, and then topping everything with a fried or hard-boiled egg, you’ll get a breakfast that includes lots of nutritional ingredients.

• Cheese and berry crêpes: When you have time, whip up a batch of crêpe shells from whole wheat flour, and then freeze or store them in the refrigerator. Fill as desired throughout the week. The combination of ricotta and tart berries provides a punch of protein and a dose of healthy antioxidants.

• Smoothies: Smoothies are a quick and nutritious breakfast. People may chop and freeze pre-measured ingredients into individual bags ahead of time, so all they must do in the morning is dump the ingredients into a blender and combine with milk, yogurt or leafy greens. Put the smoothie in a to-go cup or drink it before leaving the house.

• Quick bread: Create your own tasty quick bread that can make a fast and healthy breakfast. Include fruit, nuts, or whole grains. Banana nut bread is one option. Toast up the bread or even eat it cold. For an extra punch, top a slice with yogurt and honey.

Breakfast can be quick and nutritious, ensuring people start their day off on healthy footing.
