Ashley N. Dauber
Ashley N. Dauber, 38 years old, was born on May 23, 1986. She passed away unexpectedly on December 15, 2024 at her home. Ashley leaves behind a father Kenneth Dauber, brother Dean Dauber, brother Herbert Chandler III, and sister April Young. She also leaves behind four beautiful children, Bryson Carpenter, Lilly Johns, Austin Johns and Jackson Johns.
She is preceded in death by her mom, Susan Drescher, and paternal grandparents, Kenneth and Mary Dauber.
For many years, Ashley battled addiction. We wish she had seen the beauty and strength that others recognized in her. It has been a long and painful struggle over several years. Unfortunately, addiction prevailed. To those who do not understand addiction, she may appear to be just another statistic who made poor choices; such a perspective is misguided, yet it is often expressed alongside other hurtful remarks. However, we remain unfazed, for
to those who truly understand, she is a sister, mother, cousin, and friend. She was a person grappling with addiction, seeking solace in drugs to feel normal like everyone else. Heroin promised her acceptance, comfort, worthiness, normalcy, love, and a sense of nothingness that seemed to assure her everything would be alright. What it failed to reveal was the devastation it would wreak on her family, children, friends, job, home, and ultimately, her life. It robbed her of her joy, laughter, and her essence, taking and taking until there was nothing left. We love you, Ashley, and you were deserving of life, even when you couldn’t see it.
A private service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ashley’s memory to https://www. gofund.me/d62fbffe. The funds will be divided between the four children.

ZUCKERGNODDLE
By Anna F. Faust
“Mommi Mommi Budderbrot, Schlack die Katz mit Zucker doot.” Sell waar en Saages vun mei Memm, Verleicht zu eich laut es fremm.
Wie kennscht en Katz mit Zucker doot schlaage?
Es waert mieglich gewesst in die alde Daage. Sellemols hot Zucker so viel Gnoddle ghat, Es nemmt en Rollholz en feimache, er waar so hatt.
Es wunnerbaarscht Ding mit die Zuckergnoddle:
Bis die Memm sie gloppt, dutt sie paar verzoddle. Fer sie finne, bhalde mir Kinner die Aage uff. Mir verfehle kenni, verlosst eich druff!
Mei Maul wessert noch wann ich erinner:
Es waar nix meh abbedittlich zu uns Kinner, As en brau Zuckergnoddle als uffweeche;
Wann eener fliegt, duhne sex Hend nausreeche.
Heit wisse Kinner nix vun so ZuckerSchpass. Zucker hot nimmi Gnoddle, sell is ferwas. Unni sie, mehn ich, dutt ebbes gross fehle. Ya, es dutt mer gewiss weh, eich des verzehle!

sugar (lumps).” That was one of Mother’s sayings, which probably sounds strange to you. How could you kill a cat with sugar? In bygone days, it was possible. Then sugar was so lumpy and hard, we needed a rolling pin to break it up. The wonderful thing about these sugar lumps was Mom scattered some when she broke them up. So as to get them all, we kept watch. We missed none, believe me! My mouth still waters when I recall. Nothing was more delicious to us children than to suck a brown sugar lump. When one flew by, six hands reached out. Today’s children can’t appreciate our pleasure with sugar. It’s because sugar today has no lumps. Without them, something indeed was missing. It saddens me to tell you about it.
on May 23, 1987. At that time Anna wrote: “Recently, my brother quoted to me the old saying of our mother, the first two lines of this poem. I toyed with setting it to rhyme for some time. Just this morning, the childish recollections of brown sugar fell into place. Although it is silly, it is true. One could write about the serious importance of sugar, but I chose to treat the subject from our point of view of it as children.”
Anna concludes her note with the admonition: “Nau schaff net zu hatt un nemm alsemol en Zuckergnoddle fer Grefde!”
Ya, Anna, mer zehle sell duh!

Student Spotlight
WEEK 4
Gehmans Mennonite
Braden Martin
8th Grade
Braden Martin is a student in 8th grade at Gehmans Mennonite School and he has been attending since 5th grade. His parents are Eric and Saranne Martin and he has one younger brother in 6th grade.
Martin
One reason why he likes school is because he has a lot of good friends that go there. After he graduates from GMS, he plans on going to Terre Hill Mennonite High School and to work for his dad part-time.
Things he does to pass time at his home include watching TV, reading books, and playing video games. He is also a member of Cornerstone Mennonite Fellowship and he and his family attend church there every Sunday. Some of his favorite things to do are fishing, hunting, and swimming.
When asked what he would do if he could change anything in the world today he said, “I would want world peace and wars to stop.”
Written by: Trenton Sensenig
One of his greatest accomplishments was that he won a free TV from a drawing. His favorite class in school is science because he likes to do experiments.
When Braden grows up, he wants to learn how to fly, buy a plane, and then to become an experienced bush pilot in Alaska.
The person he said that he admires the most in life is his dad and he wants to be like him because of his honesty.
Wells Garden Spot
Austin Wells Senior
“I just want to be known as a nice guy that was always there for people.” These are the words of Garden Spot senior Austin Wells. He’s played soccer for Garden Spot and will continue playing club soccer with Berks United.
When the GS varsity soccer season wrapped, Wells said: “This season was definitely better than last year. We were winning more than last year. So I’ll take that.”
Wells took being a role model to the younger players very seriously. “You almost want to show them how to act. If you’re goofing off, they’re going to goof off. If you’re messing around, they’re going to mess around. If they mess up, I’d try and help show them what they did wrong so they’d get it right next time.”
Wells also has big hopes and aspirations for his life after high school. “I plan to work part-time right now. Maybe I will go full-time after I graduate, because I’m going to graduate early, but I plan to work at Apex Advertising.”
Wells also plans to work towards getting his realtor license. “Once I get my real estate license, I plan to head into that field. My uncle owns a team [Mark Will team], after that I plan to work for him, but I just need to get my real estate license.”
Written by: Jonny Boozer
Beyond his future plans and his soccer achievements, Wells wants to be remembered as someone who is there for others. “Obviously sports were a big part of my high school career, but overall I guess I want to be known as a nice guy, someone you can always talk

Caloriecounting and watching one’s weight is often seen as a young person’s game. But even aging men and women should recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy weight.
Older adults may experi

Weight Loss Tips
More than twothirds of Americans, including adults age 65 and older, are over
How Aging Adults Can Maintain A Healthy Weight And Lifestyle
ories a day to maintain their weights. Cutting calories slowly and steadily helps people maintain healthy weights, when they couple this with exercise.
Avoiding MalnutritionRelated Weight Loss
weight and obese, according to U.S. News & World Report. A combination of factors can contribute to weight gain in older adults, including a slower metabolism and a tendency to be more sedentary with age. Empty nesters also may be less likely to cook their own meals, relying on convenience foods — some of which may be high in fat and/or calories.
Sustained healthy weight at any age is linked to improved heart health, mental health benefits like increased selfconfidence, healthy joints, and much more. These tips can help aging individuals maintain healthy weights.
• Incorporate strength or resistance training into your weekly routine. Hormone production slows down as the body ages, and that may result in a loss of muscle mass. Lifting weights or engaging in resistance training with elastic bands or body weight can restore
muscle tone and speed up metabolism. Adults should aim for strength training twice a week.
• Monitor sugar and starch intake. Many older adults have elevated blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance. When cells become resistant to insulin, glucose doesn’t get used up and remains in the blood. Eventually this can lead to prediabetes, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Avoiding added sugars and extra carbohydrates could help.
• Practice portion control.
A 60yearold can’t eat the same way he or she did at age 30 or 40. Nutritionists say that, with every decade that passes, people generally need about 100 fewer cal
Malnutrition is a common component in unintentional weight loss in aging populations. Reduction in senses of small and taste, smaller appetites and lack of desire to make meals can contribute to malnutrition and weight loss. Underlying health problems also may lead to unwanted and unhealthy weight loss. Tracking weight loss and getting sufficient nutrients is vital to aging adults’ overall health.
A 2014 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that having a body mass index at the lower end of the recommended age for adults increased risk for mortality more so than being overweight.
Older adults need to adjust their routines as they age in order to maintain healthy weights. Such adjustments can reduce seniors’ risk for disease.
The notion of relaxing on a beach all day in one’s golden years is still a retirement dream for millions of adults across the globe. But many individuals also harbor a desire to keep working after retiring. Whether it’s a volunteering gig or a parttime job retirees are looking for, certain qualities can make an opportunity uniquely suited to a postretirement job.
• Flexibility: Retirees may be looking to contribute to their communities or simply earn a little spending money, but they will likely still want the freedom to travel or spend time with their families whenever they choose. So flexibility is something to look for in a postretirement job. This is what makes consultant work so attractive to retirees. Inperson hours may not be required of consultants, who can then offer their input while visiting their grandchildren or traveling the world.
• Socialization: Though the ability to work from home can make it easier for
Various Qualities To Look For In A Post-Retirement Job Or Volunteer Position
retirees to earn some extra money, some seniors aren’t concerned about their finances but want to work so they can get out of the house. In that case, look for a job that offers the opportunity to socialize and meet new people. Socializing as an older adult is a great way to fend off loneliness. In addition, one study published in 2007 in the journal of the
• Engagement: A job seniors find engaging also is more likely to provide the types of benefits seniors are looking for in postretirement work. For example, researchers at Boston College’s Sloan Center on Aging and Work found that seniors who find a job or volunteering opportunity truly engaging are more likely to benefit psychologically from those experiences than those whose postretirement work is not engaging. If seniors find themselves simply going through the motions with their postretirement work, they can look for opportunities that they can be more enthusiastic about.
• Pressurefree: Regardless of what retirees did for a living prior to calling it a career, chances are they dealt with workrelated stress. In fact, the American
Stress Institute reports that 83 percent of workers in the United States suffer from workrelated stress, while Statistics Canada reports that 62 percent of Canadian workers say work is their main source of stress. After a lifetime of confronting workrelated stress, individuals who want to work in retirement should look for pressurefree opportunities. This is an important quality, as the ASI indicates that stress has been linked to increased rates of heart attack, hypertension and other disorders.
The right postretirement job may differ from what individuals looked for during their careers. Various qualities can combine to make for a postretirement gig that benefits seniors in myriad ways.
American Public Health Association found that social support networks have a positive effect on cognition among older adults. So a
postretirement job that enables retirees to socialize could delay or reduce the severity of agerelated cognitive decline.
Did You Know?
A cataract is a clouding of the naturally transparent lens of the eye that can occur as one ages. Natural proteins in the lens clump together and can cloud the eye. The National Eye Institute says most cataracts develop with age, as more than half of all Americans age 80 or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to remove them. But cataracts can occur for other reasons, such as after an eye injury or after surgery for another vision problem. The American Academy of Opthalmology
Moving?
says cataracts can make it seem like a person is looking through a foggy or dusty car windshield. Everything is hazy, blurry or less colorful. Additional vision changes associated with cataracts include extra light sensitivity; seeing bright colors as faded or yellowed; seeing double; and difficulty seeing at night. Using brighter lights at home or getting a new eyeglasses prescription can help manage cataracts in their early stages. An eye doctor may suggest surgery if cataracts are getting in the way of daily activities. Surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a new, artificial lens.

The Word For The Day Is Fun
Being a grandparent puts you in the position of being able to enjoy your grandchildren without all of the responsibilities. Sadly, your family is spread out across the country, making spending time with the grandkids difficult. This year, why not change that by taking a vacation with your grandkids. It’s not as hard as you might think.
Most experts agree that the best age to take children on vacation is between 11 and 14 years old. By that time, children are old enough to be responsible and enjoy the
trip. At the same time, they aren’t too old to have fun or be seen with anyone over age 18. Along with your grandchildren’s ages, you must take their attention span into consideration. Some children within the ideal age range simply don’t have the attention span for a trip.
When selecting a destination, you should keep your grandchildren’s ages, attention spans and interests in mind. Children with short attention spans, for example, may not enjoy historical sites. Zoos and amusement parks might be a better idea. Whatever you do, do not plan a bus tour. Your grandchildren will not enjoy having to sit still for that long.
You should select a destination that you and your grandchildren will enjoy. You should inform your grandchildren where they are going and encourage them to read up on what they will be seeing. Let them decide if there is any special place they would like to visit. If there is a place you absolutely want to see, you should let your grandchildren know that in advance so they can get used to the idea and will respect your wishes when the time comes.
For the best results, you should not to plan an activity for every minute of the vacation. Let everyone have some “me” time. Too much togetherness isn’t necessarily a good thing. Whatever you do plan, inform your grand
children ahead of time what they will be seeing or doing and keep them entertained by making a game out of things. Have them act out what happened at an historical site or create a quiz based on what they hear and see.
If your vacation involves air travel, you should prepare your grandchildren for what that might entail. Explain the screening process and how it works. Let them know their bag will be returned to them after it has been xrayed as will their shoes.
Try to select a hotel geared toward children and supervise your grandchildren at all times. Monitor their TV viewing and allow them access to the minibar sparingly. Watch them in the swimming pool and insist they wear shoes when walking through the hotel.
Vacationing with your grandchildren can be great fun as long as you select the right destination and establish some ground rules beforehand. Let your grandchildren know what to expect and how they should behave, and everyone is sure to have fun.
As physically active individuals age, they typically must change how they approach exercise. For example, rather than jumping two feet first into new activities like they might have done when they were younger, seniors may have to think about injury prevention and ways to improve their endurance prior to lacing up their sneakers. For most, that may boil down to taking various preworkout steps.
• Get enough rest. The body requires adequate sleep and other rest during the day to stimulate muscle growth and repair. Exercise may not be as effective and it may be more dangerous if seniors are engaging without enough sleep. In addition, sleep deprivation can reduce reaction times, which can adversely affect workouts.

• Emphasize stretching. Stretching can improve flexibility and reduce the risk of muscle injuries. It also can improve range of motion in
Prevent Injuries With These Pre-Workout Tips For Physically Active Seniors
the joints. Stretching before and after a workout prepares the body for exercise and helps it recover.
• Wear the proper footwear and clothing. Sturdy, supportive athletic shoes and wellfitting workout wear can make working out more comfortable and safer. The National Institute on Aging recommends finding footwear designed for the specific activity you’ll be engaging in. Footwear that offers sufficient heel support and nonslip soles is beneficial as well.
• Warm up. Give the body an opportunity to acclimate during a warmup period that will facilitate healthy
breathing. Warming up also loosens up the joints and muscles for the exercise ahead. After a workout, seniors should cool down to reduce their heart rates and prepare for recovery.
• Carefully consider preworkout supplements. Preworkout powders and pills have become quite popular for exercise enthusiasts.
Manufacturers may advertise that their products are loaded with vitamins and minerals
that will help energize the body for a workout. However, they also may be fortified with caffeine. Do not take a preworkout supplement without first consulting your physician, as certain products may adversely interact with medications you’re taking for preexisting conditions.
Preworkout steps can keep seniors safe and reduce injury risk from exercise.
The picture of a traditional college student is one in his or her late teens or early 20s. However, a deeper look may reveal that college student demographics are more diverse than one might imagine. In fact, senior citizens can rest assured that if they plan to return to the classroom, they’re likely to find students around their age.
According to the senior citizen resource Elder Guru, just over 0.3 percent of university students are over 65. Even though that is a low number in the grand scheme of things, it is an indication that seniors have a presence on college campuses. And that number
Considerations For Seniors Looking To Go Back To School
is expected to rise. Universities are increasing efforts to include seniors as important parts of their student bodies. Here are some things seniors considering going back to school may want to know.
• Incentives are available. Many schools are looking to expand their elder student body populations by making it easier for them to go to school. That means seniors may be able to attend for little to no cost
through tuition waivers and discounts. Speak with an admissions officer about your options.
• Lay the foundation for a new career. A survey from the Rand Corporation found that 39 percent of workers age 65 and older who were currently employed had previously retired at some point. Going back to school may provide a foundation for new skills that can make it easier to advance in a second career. Heading
back to classes also can help people stay competitive in a current job.
• Engage and socialize. Going back to school provides seniors with an opportunity to engage with their peers and younger students. Returning to school may expose older adults to new experiences, technologies and customs they may otherwise never have enjoyed.
• Embrace the excitement of a new environment and its challenges. Heading back to college can be challenging, which is something seniors looking for mental stimulation may enjoy. Senior Finance Advisor reports that heading back to school and lifelong learning has been linked to better health, improved financial situations and even a reduced risk of dementia.
• Staying informed. Going back to school can enable seniors to stay technologically informed and learn about movements and other factors that are helping to shape the modern world.
Seniors have many reasons to return to the college classroom, and such a pursuit can pay numerous dividends.
Did You Know?
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that as much as 5 percent of older adults living in the general community are suffering from clinical depression. Those figures are even higher among older adults who are hospitalized (11.5 percent) and those who require home health care (13.5 percent). The National Council on Aging reports that older adults are at an elevated risk of developing depression, though there’s no single, specific cause increasing that risk. Chronic conditions, which the CDC estimates affect as much as 80 percent of older adults; decreased functional ability; reduced mobility; loneliness; and financial issues related to retirement are among the potential causes of depression in older adults. As difficult as depression can be, the NCOA notes that treatment has been found to be just as effective for seniors as it is in younger populations. Aging individuals or those concerned about an aging relative are encouraged to visit the American Psychological Association website at psychiatry.org to learn more about the many ways depression can be treated.

Facing Opposition
Author: Wenger
Scripture: Nehemiah 4:9
“But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.”
Trouble from fellow brethren: There was a shortage of grain in that time and the Jerusalem leaders were lending to their brethren and collecting interest. The Jewish nation was commanded to not charge brethren interest. This practice was strictly forbidden. In Exodus 22:25 it says, “If you lend money to my people, to the poor among you, you are not to act as a creditor to him; you shall not charge him interest.” It doesn’t get much clearer than that. Un
fortunately, many of the influential leaders were exacting usury as it is called in the Bible. It even progressed to the point of mortgaging their houses and land to buy food because of a famine in the land. Some properties were seized by their own brethren. Unfortunately, there are those in the brotherhood who are disobedient to the word of God and cause serious problems in the assembly. Some of these people are the tares and not the true wheat. Some are brethren and just disobedient. It will always be so. Don’t lose heart. We are often disillusioned when leaders or those who are prominent in the church live in obvious sin. Some believers will always take advantage of brethren and the church. I remember all too well, as a member in a local assembly (the Worship Leader of all people) was convicted of a money scheme that went on in the church. He swindled people
out of a lot of money… in the church yet. He ended up in prison. Don’t look at others, it’s Christ we look unto. Hebrews 12:2 says, “looking unto Christ the author and finisher of our faith.” When this happens in the church, we all are taken aback, but we must continue on.
Nehemiah faced this problem head on with sound discipline. He didn’t hope the problem would just
go away. First, he gave it a lot of thought, then acted by calling the assembly and rebuked them for their conduct. He also set measures in place to make sure the nobles obeyed and the practice ceased. Remember in 1st Samuel 2:1236 how weak Eli was in rebuking his sons for their wicked conduct “Why do you do such things.” He made no attempt to correct his sons and the Lord
destroyed them. Nehemiah 5:6, 7 “And I became very angry after I heard their outcry and these words.”
“After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, each of you is exacting usury from his brother. So I called a great assembly against them.” In verse 11, Nehemiah commands them to restore their houses, lands and to repay some of the monies they took from the brethren in interest. Next, Nehemiah required an oath before the priests from the leaders to restore back to the people and cease the practice. Lastly, Nehemiah offers his own example of obedience. He, as the governor, was allowed to tax the people for his own needs, but did no such thing.
Former governors took bread, wine, silver and servants from the people.
“Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, neither I nor my
brothers ate the governor’s provisions. The former governors who had been before me laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine, besides silver, but I did not because of the fear of God.” You will always face opposition. You will face it from the world because it is diametrically opposed to God, hates God and will always seek to destroy your faith. We will always face opposition in the form of self that says as the workers… there is too much rubble to continue the work…I fear the opposition maybe I should just quit. We will face opposition from fellow disobedient brethren who by their conduct will disillusion us. Instead, we should be looking unto Christ. Face the opposition by first of all knowing it will always be there. Secondly, pray first and then make a plan Thirdly, remember how great and awesome our God is

Woman’s Club Of Ephrata Meeting
The warmth of friendship rivaled the twinkling lights at the December meeting of the Woman’s Club of Ephrata, where the Eicher Arts Center was transformed into a cozy holiday wonderland. Strings of white lights draped the beams, and festive decor set the stage for an afternoon brimming with community spirit and holiday cheer. Thirty members gathered, each adding a touch of merriment to their annual Christmas celebration.
The highlight of the afternoon was the entertainment provided by GiGi’s Playhouse Lancaster. The performers delighted them with festive music, including a violin rendition of beloved Christmas carols. Members joined in the fun with a spirited performance of “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” complete with actions for their assigned days, which sparked plenty of laughter. Santa Claus himself made a surprise appearance, bringing joy to everyone in the room. The event concluded with a heartfelt rendition of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” sung by both the Achievers and club members, leaving everyone with a warm holiday glow.
The meeting was called to order by the president, and the vice president led them in the Pledge of Allegiance and the club collect. The treasurer reported a healthy balance for the club, ensuring they can continue their impactful projects. Minutes from the previous meeting were read, with a few minor corrections noted.
The Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley honored the club by naming them honorary members for 2025, a recognition of their longstanding dedication to the community.
The Woman’s Club sign was updated with wreaths and bows, adding holiday charm to the community. Special thanks go to the members who ensured the meeting and food table were beautifully adorned. New members were warmly welcomed to the club during

the meeting, and they look forward to their participation in future activities.
The Woman’s Club’s commitment to caring for one another was evident in the updates shared about members facing health challenges. Poinsettias and cards brought cheer to several members recovering from surgeries or illness, and everyone was encouraged to
send Christmas cards to brighten the days of those in need of extra support this holiday season.
This year’s Stockings for Soldiers project was another resounding success, with over 13,000 stockings sent overseas to troops. In addition, the club came together to support a local family in need, collecting and delivering gifts just in
time for Christmas. These efforts reflect the true spirit of the club and the season.
Fundraising efforts this year were strong, from the sale of car wash passes to the ever-popular cheese spreads. Preparations are well underway for their upcoming Designer Purse Bingo in March, with generous donations already pledged from local businesses to
support this exciting event.
As they look to the future, their January meeting will feature an inspirational speaker, Ali Ehly. February will bring their annual luncheon at the Olde Lincoln House, a tradition that never fails to delight.
The meeting concluded with a touching reflection on the club’s history. In the
early 1970s, the club raised funds through card parties to plant trees along Park Avenue, a legacy still celebrated today with plaques honoring that effort. This moment served as a reminder of the lasting impact the club has had on the community over the years.
