Community Blessed

multiplied many times over to seeing 50 to 70 guests attend each week, with an occasional attendance of over 100. Linda Bushong, program coordinator, oversees approximately 17 helpers who range from kitchen and cook staff, to servers, refreshments staff, and even helpers who assist with carrying meals to tables for those who need it. Linda says the program has touched many lives and visitors have made new friends. The guests appreciate the time they have to socialize and

enrich their lives, while enjoying a delicious meal. Linda says they run a welloiled machine and they aim to provide nutritious meals all year long, except when bad weather forces closure. The volunteers want to express their gratitude to local charities and individuals who have given both financial support, as well as food donations. The meal is completely free and anyone is welcome to attend the meal and hopefully make new friends in the process. If anyone reading this has a heart for giving and wishes to support this outreach, don’t hesitate to call the church, located at 222 North Broad Street in Lititz, at 717-626-7100.

Der Ehrlich Schtorkipper

By Dave Hannbariyer

Der ehrlich Schtorkipper hot en alt-guckicher Schtor ghat im Buschland. Er hot en alde Kesselkocher Offe ghat, en Kees Bax fer en Schpautzbax, Neggelfesser fer druffhocke, Tscheckerbord un so Sache as mer findt in alde Schtore. Die Bauere un die Schteddelleit hen datt drin rumghockt un gschwetzt.

Seller Schtorkipper waar en ehrlicher Kall, awwer er hot en paar Leit gschtoche mit scharef Bissniss. Alle Mol as er ebbes verkaaft hot, wu er’s Geld in die Schupplaad geduh hot, hot er en Vaerscht vun die Biewel gsaagt. Wu en Kind reikumme is: Gseegent sin die gleener Kinner. Wu en Fraa Seef ghaaft hot: Gseegent sin die mit en sauwer Hatz. Wann ebber kumme is fer Brod: Wann du mich frogscht fer Brod, gewwich dir net en Schtee.

Ee Daag hen die Cronies darich’s Fenschder geguckt. Datt waar en Kall mit en fancy Kutsch un waar am sei Gaul aabinne. Der fancy Kall is reikumme un hot gfrogt, “Hoscht du Geilsdeck fer verkaafe?” - “Ya,” saagt der ehrlich Schtorkipper, “ich hab.” Not hot der fancy Kall gsaat, “Kann ich sie sehne?” Der Schtorkipper is nunnergebickt un hot eeni vum Haufe unnich em Disch abgnumme.

“Wass witt fer selli brau Geilsdeck?” ­ “Selli is finf Daaler.” - “Hoscht ebbes besser as wie sell?” - “Ya,” saagt der ehrlich Schtorkipper un hot eeni grickt vum same Haufe. “Selli is besser. Was witt fer selli blohi Geilsdeck?” - “Selli kummt zu fuffzeh Daaler.” - “Sell is viel besser, awwer ich

het garn es bescht as ich finne kann.”

Not is der ehrlich Schtorkipper zum same Haufe gange unnich em Disch un hot en scheeni, rodi rausgeroppt. “Nau des is es bescht as es gebt.” - “Wie viel is selli?” - “Selli koscht funf un zwansich Daaler.” - “Ich nemm selli,” hodder gsaat.

Nau des hot die Cronies bekimmert. Sie hen sehne welle, was der ehrlich Schtorkipper saagt, wann er es Geld in die Schupplaad dutt - mit sei Bschisserei.

Der fancy Kall hot ihm sei finf un zwansich Daaler gewe, sei Geilsdeck unnich em Aarem un aus em Schtor geloffe mit sei Bariye. All de Cronies ihre Ohre warre uff fer heere was der ehrlich Schtorkipper saagt. Der Schtorkipper hot’s Geld so langsam in die Schupplaad gesehlt un dabei gsaat: “ER WAAR EN FREMMER UN ICH HAB IHN EIGENUMME.” ***

The Honest Storekeeper

The honest storekeeper had an old-looking store in a wooded area. He had an old-fashioned stove, a cheese box for a cuspidor, pail kegs to sit on, a checkerboard and such objects as one finds in old stores. The farmers and the townfolk sat about there and chatted.

That storekeeper was an honest fellow, but he had cheated a few people with some sharp practices. Every time that he sold something, as he placed the money into the cash drawer, he quoted a verse from Scripture. When a child came in: Blessed are the little children. After a woman had bought soap: Blessed are the pure in heart. When someone came for bread: If you ask me for bread, I will not give you a stone.

One day the cronies who were gathered in the store looked through the window. Outside they saw a fellow with a fancy carriage who was tying up his horse. The fancy fellow came in and asked, “Have you a horse blanket for sale?” - “Yes,” said the honest storekeeper, “I have.” Then the fancy fellow said, “May I see them?” The storekeeper bent over and took one from a pile under the counter.

“How much would you like to have for that brown horse blanket?” ­ “That one is five dollars.” ­ “Do you have anything better than that?” - “Yes,” said the honest storekeeper and got another from the same pile. “That one is better. How much do you want for that blue horse blanket?” - “That one comes to $15.” - “That one is much better, but I’d like the best one I can find.”

Freedom Path Church Celebrates Anniversary

Then the honest storekeeper went back to the same pile under the counter and picked out a lovely red one. “Now this is the best that there is.” - “How much is that one?”“That one costs $25.” - “I’ll take it,” he said.

Now all this bothered the assembled cronies. They wanted to see what the honest storekeeper would say when he put the money into the cash drawer - gained by cheating the stranger.

The fancy fellow gave him the $25, tucked his horse blanket under his arm and walked out of the store with his bargain. All the cronies ears were open in order to hear what the honest storekeeper would say. Slowly the storekeeper counted the money into the cash drawer and repeated as he counted:

“HE WAS A STRANGER AND I TOOK HIM IN.” ***

This week we bring to a close a series of three columns devoted to stories heard, recorded and sent to us by Dave Hornberger of King Street in Ephrata. Dave has set a splendid example for the rest of our readers who can recall such anecdotes and stories. We urge you to write them down and send them to us. If you are unable to do that, speak them onto a cassette and send us the cassette. We’ll transcribe your stories and return the cassette to you. This is an excellent way to entertain our readers. AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE PRESERVING AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH FOLK CULTURE!!!

Are You a Man After God’s Own Heart?

by Pastor Ricky Kurth

Did you ever wonder how God could call David “a man after His own heart” (I Sam. 13:14)? True, He called him that before his horrific infractions of adultery and murder. But even after his

death, God said of him that he did “keep My statutes and My commandments” (I Kings 3:14). How can this be?

Well, to begin with, compare how Balaam was able to say of God that “He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath He seen perverseness in Israel” (Num. 23:21). This, of course, was because the Jews could say that “as far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us” (Psa. 103:12), and Isaiah could pray with confidence, “Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back” (Isa. 38:17). Similarly, God was able to turn a blind eye to

David’s sins, knowing that Christ would one day pay for them.

But there has to be more to it for God to be able to call

David a man after His own heart, and I believe there is. You see, when God said of David that his heart was “perfect with the Lord his God,” He said that in contrast

to Solomon, whose wives “turned away his heart after other gods” (I Kings 11:4).

Despite his great sins, David never fell into idolatry. He always had a heart for the Lord, and a burning desire to serve Him.

As a pastor, Christians often ask me how I can think so highly of them when, in many cases, I have counseled them through their times of sin and failure, and so I know their deepest shame. I always explain that it is their heart for the Lord that God looks at, and so I always try to do the same. I don’t mean to say that those who strive to serve the Lord can do no wrong in my eyes, but this is very close to being so.

So it is that while we should always strive to live our lives as perfectly as God sees us in Christ (Phil. 3:10-14), if you are beating yourself up about your past sins and failures, stop it. Remember that “man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart” (I Sam. 16:7), and if God doesn’t behold your iniquity, neither should you.

Finally, if you are a judgmental Christian, why not learn to look upon others the way God looks at you, and “receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God” (Rom. 15:7).

a detailed inventory was taken of each room in the hotel, and that inventory provided the furnishing plan for this room setting.

The Woman’s Club of Ephrata (WCE) held their annual Fashion Show at the Ephrata American Legion recently. The PA Breast Cancer Coalition received 50% of the profits or $2,899.60. The remaining money will be split among various community

Sleeping Room from the Ephrata

Mountain Springs

This room is furnished to replicate a sleeping room in the Ephrata Mountain Springs Hotel, ca. 18601885. In 1861, when Joseph Konigmacher died,

All of the furniture exhibited here, with the exception of the one drawer stand and wooden trunk, are pieces from the Mountain Springs Hotel and were donated by the Riley family in memory of Mrs. Ethel Riley Post Parrish.

The rope bed and trundle bed are the earliest pieces of furniture in the exhibit, dating to ca. 1850, and

were probably among the furniture listed in Konigmacher’s inventory. The beds, according to the inventory, were fitted with either straw or hair mattresses.

The lift­top washstand at left, with its ironstone China bowl, and the three drawer dresser at right probably date from the 1880s, when Daniel S. Von Nieda began to acquire new furniture for the hotel. The chairs are two different examples of a variety of cane seated chairs

Shown in the photo, from left to right, are David Austin, President Lion Kevin Wolford and Tim Kilhefner.

Kanagy

Hinkletown Mennonite

Ashlyn Kanagy

7th Grade

Milk, fruit juice, honey, salt, and cinnamon make up a drink that Ashlyn Kanagy concocted in first grade! She went on from there to continue creating in the kitchen. Ashlyn is the daughter of Shelby and Mathew Kanagy. She has two siblings and a dog named Bailey. She attends Petra and is in 7th grade at Hinkletown Mennonite School. In her free time, Ashlyn loves to bake, cook, and make new recipes.

Ashlyn has been experimenting with food since first grade when she invented her own refreshment called “Really Special Drink.” One thing she enjoys making is smoothies, but it is not limited to that. She will bake anything, including her own creations. For example, when baking cakes she adds her own flavoring and throws in all kinds of different fruits while making smoothies. She also likes making pasta recipes, especially mac ‘n’ cheese! She dreams of opening a cafe when she gets older. Ashlyn thinks she would like to do that with someone easy to work with, and have it close to her house.

Ashlyn does not have a specific plan for her future other than owning a cafe, but she plans to stay at HMS at least until 8th grade. As of now, college is not something that Ashlyn plans to do. She will keep baking, cooking, and experimenting in the kitchen no matter what!

Kaleb Zimmerman 9th Grade

Kaleb Zimmerman is a freshman at EMS. He likes the social aspect of school. He is on the JV team and plays as a forward.

He enjoys flex time, which is at the end of the day, because of the relaxed environment.

After he graduates school, he has some goals and aspirations for his life. He would like to work, and he also likes programming apps, and eventually would like to make money that way.

He has several hobbies, including riding quads and he would like to get a dirtbike.

He attends Lincoln Mennonite Church in the upper part of Ephrata.

If he could change one thing in the world, he would get rid of violence and have world peace.

When he was younger, he wrecked his pit bike and it landed on top of him. He hit a big bump and hit his face, but with a few scratches, he made it out alive.

Written by: Mateo Martin

Kaleb is inspired by NBA players because of their work ethic and how they strive to better themselves to achieve their goals.

When individuals came to stay at the Mountain Springs ­ many for several months or the entire season (May until September)they would bring not only their clothing and servants, but also personal items chosen to make their hotel quarters seem more homelike. It is known, from surviving late 19th century correspondence, that some guests brought such items as window curtains and screens. The framed Currier & Ives prints on the wall and the coverlet on the bed are examples of the type of furnishings that visitors might have brought to the hotel in an effort to make their stay more pleasant.

The Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley is devoted to the geographic region, which includes the present townships of East and West Cocalico, Ephrata, Clay, West Earl and a portion of Earl. The Society collects and interprets a wide range of objects, from high­end antiques to the humble and the quirky. All contribute to our understanding of the region and its inhabitants from around the time of European settlement into the 21st century. In addition, the Society maintains a large and continually growing collection of manuscripts, print items and photographs.

The Historical Society library is now open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The museum is open on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For more information, please call 717­733­1616.

Education Foundation Receives Donation

* On January 22, 1930, excavation began for the Empire State Building. Completed just a little more than a year after construction started, at 102 stories it held the record for world’s tallest building until 1972, when it was succeeded by the city’s World Trade Center.

* On January 17, 1949, the first Volkswagen Type 1, or Beetle, in the U.S. arrived from Germany. It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche at the request of Adolf Hitler and sold well because it was not just well built, but reasonably priced, soon becoming “America’s budget car.”

UGI Utilities, Inc. recently gave $15,000 to the Cocalico Education Foundation (CEF). Brooke Smith, Community Relations Manager West, presented the check to Malory Kreider, CEF Vice President. The generous contribution, part of the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program, will be

Every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. Toddlers will dance, zoom, scoot, and hop between stories selected to promote language development. All adults are expected to participate and encourage the children to join in the fun. For ages 0­3 and siblings.

* On January 19, 1977, citizens of Miami received a jaw­droppingly unexpected gift from the sky a dusting of snow for the first time in the city’s history. To date, it was also the last occurrence. Well, maybe next year...

* On January 18, 1996, Lisa Marie Presley filed for divorce from Michael Jackson. Speculation as to the cause of the split ran as rampant as the questioning of the rather bizarre coupling in the first place, but Presley herself laid the blame simply on “irreconcilable differences.”

* On January 20, 2010, the Chinese government banned the movie “Avatar,” claiming its plot mirrored the nation’s forced land evictions. Officials feared the fictional indigenous Na’vi race’s revolt could prompt a similar uprising among real­life citizens.

* On January 21, 2014, activist Kanstantsin Zhukouski nominated his pet parrot in a local council election in Belarus. Unfortunately, he never found out whether the parrot could have actually won, as he soon withdrew its candidacy, probably to avoid a penalty after proving his aimed­for point on the uselessness of his country’s politics.

Seasons

When Demeter found out her daughter had been kidnapped, she became upset and stopped caring for the crops. People began to starve, and Zeus ordered Hades to return Persephone to Demeter. There was just one problem. Persephone had gotten hungry and eaten some pomegranate seeds in the underworld. By law, anyone who took something from the underworld had to stay there. Because Persephone had eaten so little, Zeus was able to make an exception and allow her to live with her mother for half the year and with Hades for the other half.

When Persephone was with her, Demeter was happy and the crops thrived, creating spring and summer. When Persephone had to leave, Demeter became sad and the crops withered away, creating fall and winter.

Ancient Greeks used myths to explain many things, including the change in seasons. In one of these myths, Hades, god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone, daughter of the agricultural goddess, Demeter. Hades knew that Demeter would not permit him to marry Persephone, so he kidnapped her and took her to the underworld.
