REMEMBERING PAULINE H.ENGLE, CO-FOUNDER OF EPC
Remembering Pauline H. Engle, Co-Founder Of Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc.
Pauline H. Engle, 94, formerly of Mount Joy, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, September 20, 2020, at Pleasant View Retirement Community. Born in Maytown, she was the daughter of the late Harry E. and Ada N. (Fridy) Hershey. Pauline was the wife of Alvin S. Engle, who passed away on June 10, 1971.
Pauline was a graduate of the former East Donegal Township High School class of 1943. She and her husband, Alvin, co-founded Engle Printing in 1954 and Publishing in 1959. After Alvin’s death, Pauline and her children continued the business in which she was active until her retirement in 2009. Pauline is survived by two sons, Charles Engle, husband of Kathleen of Mount Joy, and Dennis Engle, husband of Lynn of Lititz; nine grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren; and two brothers, Harry Hershey, husband of Joan of Brethren Village, and John Hershey, husband of Mable of Marietta.
She was preceded in death by a daughter, Audrey Rutt, and two brothers, Robert and Charles Hershey.

Back in the spring of 2019, Cavod ballet director Stephanie Morales was thinking about Christmas. “‘The Nutcracker’ is big for the holidays,” said Morales. “I love (the show), but … I thought there should be something else for the holidays.”
When Morales went to sleep one night, she dreamed of a ballet. “(In the dream) were the names of the characters, their journey, and what it would be about,” said Morales, who woke up in the morning and wrote down everything she could remember. “I put it all together and brought it to Connie (Dienner, director) at Cavod (Academy of the Arts),” recalled Morales. “Our mission (at Cavod) is to create with purpose, so we wanted to offer (a holiday ballet) that would show that to our students.”
Dienner agreed with Morales, and the result was “Wonder,” an original ballet choreographed and directed by Morales. The show premiered at Cavod in late 2019.
Pauline H. Engle
When Alvin and Pauline founded Engle Printing, it was undoubtedly a partnership. Alvin was a quiet, hardworking businessman who took care of planning, pricing, and production, while Pauline, more outgoing, did the hiring and day-to-day employee management. “She could never have done it without him, and he would not have done it without her,” recalled Charlie Engle, President of EPC. After Alvin Engle passed, Pauline decided to continue the family business with her children, who all agreed that they should pursue their parents’ dream. Before Alvin’s drawn up for a new building where the company could expand. Two years after he passed, the family moved into their new facility on West Main Street. Later, a large production facility was added in West Hempfield, Lancaster County.
While Pauline may not have imagined that the business would become what it did, her children had plans for further growth. “Even my father … I don’t think he ever thought that we would go from seven people to 400 employees at the high point,” Charlie said. She was proud of the company’s success, but even more so that all three of her children became actively involved in the business, each having at least one child who has chosen a career with EPC. Audrey, the eldest Engle sibling, served as EPC’s treasurer until her retirement one year prior to her passing in 2018.
Whether in business or on family vacations, focus on family was paramount to Pauline. She loved spending vacations with her siblings, her children, and her grandchildren at the beach, in Potter County, or at their cabin along the Susquehanna. Besides family, relationships with friends were also important, as she entertained and traveled with them often.
When asked how he thought his mother would want to be remembered, without hesitation Dennis Engle, EPC Vice President, said, “For her strong faith.” Pauline was a member of Mount Calvary Church in Elizabethtown and was active singing in the choir and teaching Sunday school. She also taught Good News Club in her home. Expanding upon his mother’s Christian faith, Charlie reflected, “She would often say, ‘We have been blessed. It wasn’t just us; it was with God’s help.’” As a result, she gave back and supported many organizations in the community and beyond. Her example was the benchmark from which the Engle children carried on the business, and now the third generation draws from their grandmother’s tenacity and unwavering faith.
A memorial service honoring Pauline’s life was held at Mount Calvary Church on October 4, 2020, where the family shared fond memories of their mother, grandmother, and sister.
Cavod Schedules “Wonder” For Christmas
death, plans had already been This year, “Wonder” will run from Friday, Nov. 13, through Sunday, Nov. 15, at Cavod Theatre, 685 W. Main St., New Holland. The Nov. 13 show will be at 7 p.m. The Nov. 14 and 15 shows will play at 2 and 7 p.m. Audience members are encouraged to wear masks, and theater seating will be at 50% capacity to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.
“Wonder” is the story of Gracie, played by Lilly Spolum, and Nick, played by Lincoln Everett, two orphaned children who are searching for the wonder of the holiday season. They are aided in their quest by three Christmas Lights, Twinkle, played by Jada Correll; Flicker, played by Emma Myers; and Pixie, played by Audrey Pavlica. As they search for the “wonder,” the children visit the Toy Shoppe, the Christmas Tree Village, and a cathedral. Through their adventure, they learn that the wonder of the holiday season comes from love and from being loved.
Auditions, which were open to the community, were held at the end of August. Morales said the cast of 30 will include two adults this year, who will portray Ma and Pa Winters. Ma Winters will be played by Kelly Manana, and Pa Winters will be played by David Spolum.
“This year, we are adding a sweet shop, which will be brand new,” reported Morales. “In the sweet shop we have a baker and little gingerbreads played by 5- to7-year-olds. We have hot chocolate and gumdrops and peppermints (as well).” Other scenes include a snow blizzard and a sequence with choir dancers.
“Wonder” sold out when it was introduced at Cavod in 2019. “We are creating a new tradition for Cavod and the community,” said Morales, who noted that through the show she wanted to provide New Holland with another outlet to experience the arts. “It’s been a really fun process,” she said.
Tickets to the show are available at https://cavod .org/theatre/ or by calling 717-354-3355.

“Elf the Musical,” based on the film “Elf,” will play at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre from Thursday, Nov. 12, through Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021. This musical comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his identity and help New York City remember the true meaning of Christmas. As a young orphan, Buddy crawls into Santa’s bag and winds up in the North Pole, where he is raised, unaware that he is human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to discover his identity.
For the second time in his career, Kole Mitchell McKinley will play the part of Buddy the Elf. McKinley is from North Carolina and is a graduate of East Carolina University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical performance theater. Although new to the Dutch Apple stage, he appeared in Dutch Apple’s virtual cabaret series this spring.
Performances will be on Tuesday through Sunday evenings with selected matinees. There will be separate dinner and show ticket pricing for adults, for students ages 13 to 18 and for children under age 12. Special pricing is available for groups of 16 people or more.
Tickets are now on sale and can be reserved by calling 717898-1900, visiting www. DutchApple.com or stopping at the box office at 510 Centerville Road in Lancaster.

connect with their curriculum, WITF offers thousands of videos and activities ready for their lesson plans. WITF has a series of recorded webinars to share best practices on how to integrate PBS resources into the classroom and remote learning experience.
In partnership with its fellow Pennsylvania PBS stations, WITF’s newest and largest project to reach students without access to the internet is the partnership with PDE to establish a statewide datacasting initiative. While broadcasting refers to sending programming “over the air” across a geographic region that can be picked up by an antenna and played on a television, datacasting refers to using those same signals to transmit data to be used on a computer.
WITF will coordinate with educators to create data instructional units that are transmitted over television air waves and received by a student’s home computer, without the need to connect to the internet. By supplying an inexpensive receiver, families will be able to download lesson plans, videos, slideshows, worksheets, webpages, and more. These instructional materials would then be available on-demand for the student, on the learning schedule that is right for them.
