Warwick Hosts LLMEA District/County Band Performances

The top high school musicians from 44 schools from three counties including Lancaster, York and Adams, came together to perform at Warwick High School this past weekend. Through an audition

process in December, students auditioned on prepared pieces and the band is then selected from those students who earn seats in the ensemble. Matt Tenaglia, Warwick Middle School/High School Band

Director, said, “It’s incredible. The ability to watch a master teacher work with a band full of the best musicians is truly inspiring for both us as educators and for our students in our program.”

The conductor was Alex Kaminsky (VanderCook College of Music), who is shown with the musicians during a practice session. Students will now audition for Regionals and States

after this level.

8th Grade

Garrett Hess excels in school, especially math. He continues to keep good grades throughout the year. Although he keeps himself busy with his school requirements, he is also involved in extracurricular activities, such as playing soccer and the trombone. Garrett is in 8th grade, and his parents are Greg and Lanessa. He and his family attend Manheim Brethren in Christ Church. In his free time, Garret enjoys playing video games, reading fantasy, and staying active in the community.

One of his favorite ways to stay active is by playing soccer whenever he has the option. Garrett plays soccer for the Hinkletown team and is an amazing teammate. Garrett knows all the rules by heart, so he is very helpful. Not only that, he also plays soccer for his community. Also he enjoys kicking a soccer ball around in his backyard.

Something else that is very important to him is making sure to practice his trombone. Garrett plays the trombone for his school band where he is a great addition. His practice helps him to expand his skills and learn new things. It is very obvious that Garrett excels in all of his activities and hobbies, which will definitely help him in the future.

Garrett is a very fun and interesting person. He loves to expand his skills and get involved with his community.

Chloe Zimmerman 8th

Chloe Zimmerman is in 8th grade at Ephrata Mennonite School. She enjoys playing sports and socializing with her friends at school. She enjoys extracurricular activities such as playing on the girl’s volleyball team, which actually did really well this year. She also plays basketball, which isn’t her first option, but hey, who doesn’t like playing sports for the fun of it.

One thing she would like to do after high school is attend EBI where her uncle works. While she is in high school she is going to have spare time just like anyone else. One of her favorite things she does in her spare time is being outdoors. When she can’t be outside she likes to read or play the piano.

On Sundays she attends Cornerstone Mennonite Fellowship with her family. One thing she would like to change in the world is the amount of people that have not heard the word of God.

Written by: Mateo Martin

One thing she has enjoyed in life is traveling to Alaska and the beautiful outwest with her family. One of her favorite classes in school is ELA, because she loves her teacher. Chloe admires her mom because of everything she does for their family.

A Letter From Professor Bread Eater Brother Dick!

Here is a letter for your Dutch ECK, to let folks know what happened at your sale.

A Great Sale

There was a sale on May 16 at Sandy Beach at Charlie Beam’s. Charlie isn’t doing too well these days, so he got his sons to work out his business. Charlie built a new house in Ephrata but does not have enough place for all his things, so he made sale.

Oh, my, it rained cats and dogs, but they had a tent. Dot, my wife, and I arrived early. The sale began at 4 p.m., but we arrived an hour early - just to look about. The boys were preparing for the sale.

But the week before the sale, something funny happened as Claudette Horst, Glenn’s wife, was on the second floor getting things up there ready for the sale. Claudette is a trained nurse, so she knows how to work! When she goes to work, the dust flies. When Bischli-Gnippli had come to help prepare for the sale, he was wearing good trousers. He

took off the good pants and put on old ones. He placed them on the second floor next to his father’s clothes. And that was his error! Sometime later Claudette was up there readying things for the sale. She came upon these pants, took out the handkerchief and removed the belt. Then she found a wallet in a pocket. Soon she realized that something was wrong. Now she knew that she was in for it - she realized that she had almost sold Bischli-Gnippli’s shirt and trousers! Everyone laughed heartily about the matter, especially Claudette.

Upon our arrival the day of the sale, Bischli-Gnippli greeted us with a broad smile. He bid us welcome. We were the first to set up our chairs, so we put them in the first row. Then we walked about. By golly, my wife wanted to buy everything she saw. She kept repeating, “I can’t live without that! - A bowl with a matching lid, a tea kettle, bells and so on. - Tom is crawling around under his car all the time, he should have this crawler. - John’s lawn mower is worn out. I should buy this one for him. - Dan needs a weeder. Oh, here’s one! - Tim wants a bell. Well, we can find one here, there are only about 300 of them here. (We went home with about 100.) - Now, I wonder, do they have cookie cutters for Joel and Elaine? Oh, here’s a whole basket of them. We really must buy them! - Mom gets such backache. I wonder whether they have one of those vibrators with a heating element? By George, here is one! That we MUST buy.Edythe needs new pillows for the bench in her living room. Oh, look, these here are just what she needs - lovely, red pillows! Now I believe I’ve found everything that I had in mind.”

***

Before “Professor Brod Fresser,” alias Dave Hornberger, went home on the day of the sale, May 20, he agreed to write a report for the Eck on the day’s events at a place he called “Sandich Beach.” By the beginning of the following week, this letter was already in our hands.

This week we are printing part one of this long letter from “Professor Brod Fresser,” for like all professors, this one is a bit windy. As a result, we’ll let “Brod Fresser” wrap up his report next week.

Each reader has to decide for himself how much of the “Brod Fresser’s” report is factual, how much is imagined. We will vouch for the names, but beyond that we’re not so sure.

At any rate, we’re absolutely delighted with this letter, for it’s the first time we’ve had the pleasure of printing such a piece. But you’ll have to tune in next week as well to pick up the remainder of our windy wordmaster’s report.

Again, we want to encourage our readers to go and do likewise. We are sure that most of our readers have attended other sales and similar gatherings which could be described in the dialect in equally entertaining terms. Let us hear from YOU!

Why Should We Fear God?

By Pastor Ricky Kurth

“Why should we fear God (2 Cor. 7:1)?”

Our apostle Paul says we should be “perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

Christians needn’t fear that God will take away our salvation if we don’t perfect holiness in our lives, for

we are saved and eternally secure (Rom. 8:35-39). But Paul says to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil. 2:12) because we must never forget the majesty of the God who gave us our salvation.

Consider that when God appeared on Mt. Sinai, “all the people that were in the camp trembled” (Ex. 19:16). God was not angry with His people here, so it was not His wrath that induced their terror. It was the thunder and lightning and the “exceeding loud” voice of God, the manifestations of His majesty, that struck such fear in their hearts. God is not angry with us either, but we should be just as mindful of His awesomeness, from

what we know of Him in His Word, even though we cannot see or hear the physical manifestations of His majesty.

We might compare how every time an angel appears to men in the Bible, the first words out of his mouth are usually “fear not” (Matt.

28:4,5; Luke 1:12,13; 2:9,10, etc.). That’s because angels are so awesome in appearance that men naturally cower before them. Well, if they cower before angels, and angels are mere creations of Almighty God, how much more would we fear the Creator Himself were we to be able to see Him

BBS founder Pastor C. R. Stam used to compare our fear of God to an invitation you might receive to dine with the president. While you would delight to go, you would no doubt go with fear and trembling. Not fear of what he might do to you, but out of respect for his office, and fear that you might disappoint him with your

conduct and perhaps, in the extreme, even disgrace your family name. Likewise, we are not afraid of what God might do to us if we work out our own salvation poorly, but we fear disappointing Him, or disgracing His name by our conduct (cf. Neh. 5:9).

Finally, you might also compare how a husband who has a godly wife fears to hurt her—not because he is afraid she’ll leave him, for she has vowed she never will. But rather because he is afraid to presume on her grace by grieving her. Similarly, God would never leave us, but we don’t want to presume on His grace by grieving the very Spirit that seals us (Eph. 4:30).

GriefShare Held At Ephrata Bible Fellowship

The Ephrata Bible Fellowship Church invites everyone to attend GriefShare. GriefShare is a nondenominational group that meets weekly and features Christ centered, biblical teaching on grief recovery topics associated with the death of a loved one. It includes a DVD seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects and includes real-life discussion about what was seen on the DVD. Past participants have related how helpful the DVDs and follow up discussions were to them.

* On February 19, 1473, Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Poland to a prosperous merchant family. Originally designed for a career in church law, he is considered the father of modern astronomy and was the first European scientist to propose that Earth and other planets revolve around the sun.

* On February 18, 1937, severe dust storms hit five western states, resulting in a dozen deaths within a few days. Citizens were advised to plug their window sills and door jambs, and hang wet sheets over their doors and windows. They could taste dirt and dust in their food, and the clouds of it were so thick that they blocked the sun.

* On February 14, 1962, Jacqueline Kennedy led a virtual tour of the White House’s state rooms, which she had recently refurbished. Wearing a red wool dress and pearls, she described the mansion’s antiques, furnishings and historic portraits to a wide TV audience at home, earning both critical praise and an honorary Emmy.

* On February 13, 1974, the Symbionese Liberation Army, which had kidnapped 19­year­old heiress Patricia Hearst, demanded a ransom in the form of $70 worth of food to be given to every needy Californian ­ an exchange that could cost as much as $400 million.

Ephrata Area Social Services Welcomes 2023 Board Of Directors

Library Friends Make Significant Donation “Pieces From The Past” - Featuring The Terre Hill Historical Society

The Friends of the Adamstown Area Library presented their annual donation of $25,000 to Library Director, Carolyn Reiste. The Friends donation is not limited to once a year as they also respond to various requests from the Library Director throughout the year. In 2022 that request included two folding wheeled tables for the conference room, numerous back yard picnic games (available for rental), and a 3D printer.

Still searching for a venue to hold the “Bucks for Books” Auction fundraiser, the Friends had to rely solely on the success of two events, Basket Bingo and Tuesday Book Sales. Once again, the public came through with their support. Proceeds from the two events enabled the Friends to fulfill their yearly obligation to the library. This was made possible, not only by those who volunteer many hours to work at the Friends events,

but by those who donate and attend those fundraisers.

Another bit of good news from the FriendsThe Tuesday Book Sales are back ­ by popular demand. They are open for business from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., except for the second Tuesday of every month when the sale will close at 5:30 p.m. due to an ongoing evening library program. Book donations are being accepted at the

library, 110 West Main Street in Adamstown and at the ‘mailbox’ in the lobby of Weaver Markets.

The Friends are now offering their “Glance at Romance” Valentine Bag Sale at the library and on Sunday, March 19 their famous Basket Bingo will take place at the Reamstown Fire Hall. For details on the Friends fundraising activities, visit their website at www. friendsaalibrary.net.

“Pieces From The Past” continues this week, featuring the Terre Hill Historical Society. In this weekly article, Shopping News readers will learn about local items housed in local museums and historical societies.

Shown in the photo are two spikes from the Terre Hill trolley that ran from 1905 to 1932. The trolley traveled from Eden to New Holland, and on to Terre Hill. It was quite impressive for its time.

The Terre Hill Historical Society’s meeting is held the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Terre Hill Community Center. The club encourages anyone who has an interest in Terre Hill and its rich history to come out to any meeting night and join them in this effort to preserve the history for future generations. Also, the Society is always looking for anyone who has old artifacts from Terre Hill’s past to add to their

Heart Gallery 20th Annual Art Benefit Auction

The Friendship Heart Gallery & Studio is excited to announce its 20th Annual Art Benefit Auction on Thursday, March 23, at Grace Church in Lititz, 501 West Lincoln Avenue. This event has been held virtually since 2020, due to the COVID­19 pandemic but will be featured once again in­person! Come out to celebrate the amazing talents of the Friendship Heart Artist as they showcase their unique creativity through various mediums of art. The event will consist of light hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and a special program featuring the Heart Artists.

This year’s theme was inspired by a collaborative piece of art, which will be featured in the silent auction, titled “Together, Hand in Hand.” “This piece represents our commitment to creativity and our resilience as a community. It is a celebration of our ability to truly be “hand in hand” again at an in­person art auction since the pandemic,” says Shannon VanGyzen, the Studio Manager at the Lancaster City Studio.

A Paint Brush Pull will featured once again! For a cost per numbered paintbrush, you will be entered into a drawing for a Friendship Heart Gallery prize pack. Included in the basket are a number of Primitives by Kathy Collaborative Collection pieces, hand­made cards, jewelry, and a $100 gift certificate good for a framed original painting from the gallery. The

winning paintbrush will be announced at the end of the program.

If you are looking to make an impact on the Heart Artists, instructors, and volunteers elsewhere, two “Fund­A­Need” opportunities are available that will go into making the Lancaster City Studio space better equipped for their needs. The first Fund­ANeed item consists of large canvases so that the Heart Artists have opportunities to “think big” and express their creativity on a larger platform independently or collaboratively. The second Fund­A­Need opportunity will go towards purchasing a high quality projector and screen, which will be used as an instructional tool and art­making tool in the studio. It will allow the instructors to present to a group of Artists and it will give the Artists the opportunity to view their art in a new format. For more details on their Funda­Need items, please visit FriendshipArt.net/Bid.

To register for a bidder number and to purchase tickets for the in­person event, please visit FriendshipArt.net/Bid. The ticket price includes refreshments and a very special program featuring the Heart Artists. If you are unable to attend the inperson event, you can still register to bid during the online silent auction. By providing both a phone number and an email address, auction participants will be notified when he/she is out­bid; by providing payment information up front, auction participants will have a faster and smoother checkout process at the end of the night. If attending in person, you must register separately for a bidder number.

Friendship Heart Studio is a day program, which

celebrates personalities and talent through free expression and collaboration.

Over 50 unique Artists work with gifted professionals and passionate volunteers to create masterpieces while developing a sense of purpose, value, and freedom. The Studio embodies its Vision of Expressing Capabilities by promoting artistic skills and self­expression through various techniques while utilizing both traditional and unconventional media.

Friendship Community is a faith­based nonprofit Organization supporting Individuals with Intellectual Disability and Autism since 1972. With two thriving arts day programs, a homebased service program, and 24 residential homes within Lancaster and Lebanon counties, Friendship Community continues its vital work every day to Impact the World with Capabilities.

There are many days with 24 hours, but nothing was more important than the Day of the 24 hours of Jesus in Jerusalem, 2,000 years ago. Those 24 hours have changed everything. The fate of the entire human race changed from eternal death to eternal life. Beginning Thursday evening after sunset, and lasting on through Friday, Jesus would eat the Last Supper with his disciples; pray in the Garden of Gethsemane; be betrayed and deserted by his friends; be convicted of blasphemy by the religious authorities; be tried and sentenced for insurrection by Pontius Pilate; be tortured by Roman soldiers; and undergo crucifixion, death, and burial.

This Lent, they would like to invite you on their journey, to a holiday in Jerusalem, not as tourists, but as followers of Christ. They will be sitting at the Last Supper with Jesus and his disciples. They will pray with Jesus at the

* If your dog likes a treat of moistened dry food from time to time, use the water from cooking vegetables. It has a bit of flavor and some vitamins, too!

* “A tip for banana peels: Dry until crispy and break into small pieces. Put in blender and blend to powder. Store in an airtight container to sprinkle around base of houseplants before watering. Orchids love them it’s great free fertilizer.” B.C. in New Hampshire

* “Unmatched socks are handy­dandy cleaners and have so many uses. Keep one by the dryer to get all the lint off the trap. Shake it out or pop it into the wash when needed.

* If you have lots of outdoor or feral cats in your area, here is some good advice, given to me by my grandmother: Start your car with a bang on the hood, that is. When the overnight temperature dips, cats know to find someplace that is wind­shielded and off the

Public

ground, and sometimes that means they will climb up into your engine area to hunker down. If your car starts while they’re there, they can be hurt or even killed. Give the hood a good knock to let a cat know to get out quick.

* “After you’ve cleaned out the gliders of your sliding­glass door, run over the parts with a little paraffin wax. It will protect the moving parts and quiet the door.” P.J. in Oregon

* If you have trouble threading a needle because the fibers seem to go in all directions, here’s a tip from T.I. in Illinois: Stiffen the end of thread with hairspray before threading a needle.

* Store plastic wrap in the refrigerator, or even the freezer, to keep it from sticking to itself.

* “I purchased a roll of reflective tape to mark our basement stairs. It reflects the light from the open doorway at the top of the stairs, and I can turn the downstairs lights off before heading up. I had some left over, so I put a strip on my dog’s collar. When I let him out at night, I can shine a flashlight and spot him instantly, since the tape is more visible in the night.”

V.R. in Pennsylvania

* If you’re leaving your home for a few days, make sure you don’t turn off the heater altogether. Set it at a low 55 degrees F and open up the cabinets that have pipes exposed. This way, air will circulate, and it won’t get too cold to allow the pipes to burst. Have a neighbor turn your faucets to a trickle if below­freezing weather is expected.

* Wrap the metal collar of your paintbrush with masking tape before painting. Then you can peel it off and there’s no stuckon paint.

* “Snow will better slide off a shovel that has been sprayed with furniture polish.” T.L. in Minnesota

* Here’s an old tip, but a good one: Before going away on vacation, put a couple of ice cubes in a plastic baggie, and set it at the front of the freezer. When you return, if there is any evidence of melting, you will know you lost power while you were gone. If the bag is one big, flat cube, you lost power long enough to suspect all your refrigerator items of being spoiled.

* To temporarily get a winter frost effect on a window, use this fun recipe: Dissolve 4 to 6 tablespoons of Epsom salts in a beer. When the salt is dissolved, dip a clean rag in the mixture and wipe it on your windowpane. As it dries, crystals will form, creating a frost effect. This is a great solution for a window you don’t want to be clear but also don’t want to permanently alter. The effect washes off with soap and water.

* “If you get a residue inside your coffee cups when they go through the dishwasher, it might be time to give your machine a once­over. In the meantime, spray the insides of the coffee cups with a bleach­

based cleaner like 409 just before your turn it on. That should help.”

E.T. in Michigan

* Cut your kitchen sponge in half, or even thirds. You can clean just as well with a smaller sponge, and you will extend its life, saving you money. A smaller sponge dries out more quickly, too.

* For moister and softer cookies, use honey as a substitute for a third of the sugar in your cookie recipe.

* “Have a headache? Try drinking a couple of glasses of a sports drink. This works for my friends and me. Maybe we just need to be drinking more water, but the sports drinks get us back on track more quickly than medicine most times.”
