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

Of all the holidays traditionally celebrated around the world, Halloween is one of the most unique - and most peculiar - celebrations 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 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
The event will include a Trunk or Treat for costumed youngsters.

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.

Fall Fest
such as school assemblies and pep rallies for students at Martic Elementary School.
Martic PTO decided to organize its first fall festival after members of the group discussed possible community events that would include not only students at Martic Elementary School, but the greater community as well. The PTO contacted the Rawlinsville Volunteer Fire Company to ask if it would host the event, as the school campus would not accommodate a largescale community celebration. The fire department agreed to assist with the event, and its members will bring fire trucks for children to see up close and look inside. Martic PTO also invited Mt. Nebo Church to collaborate on the event by merging Fall Fest with the church’s annual Trunk or Treat.
“This is the first of what we hope will become an annual tradition,” said Martic PTO president Jodie Stark. “We wanted to do something
that focused on the community as a whole and not just the school. We’re excited to see how the event unfolds, and we look forward to seeing faces from around the community.”

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,
Landis leads harrier teams with top 20 finish

Little library
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 thrift stores for new books to stock it with.
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.

Stress management webinar set for farmers
Penn State Extension will offer a webinar on managing stress on Wednesday, Oct. 30, from 1 to 2 p.m. The workshop is designed to help people understand and manage the unique stressors of farming.

People will also receive tips on creating a positive state of mind and practicing stress management techniques.
This event is free of charge, but registration is required by visiting https://extension.psu.edu and searching for “Essential Skills: Managing Stress.” A link to the recorded webinar will be emailed to registrants after the live event, and the recording will be accessible for six months.
