More than a decade ago, a closeknit group of friends came together in the wake of a devastating tragedy—the loss of Jan Roseboro. A cherished mother, sister, friend, and community leader, Jan’s life was cut short by an act of domestic violence. Deeply moved by the impact of parental loss, incarceration, and abuse, this group was driven to take
action. Their shared vision led to the creation of Jan’s Circle of Friends (JCF), a nonprofit dedicated to supporting those affected by similar hardships. Jan’s Circle of Friends Board Members include: Susan Van Zant, Laurie Sauder, Joan Stoner, Alissa Sweigart, Tia Stauffer, Wendy Stauffer and Jaime Damiani.
JCF’s mission is rooted in
supporting children navigating the challenges that follow parental loss. By partnering with established community organizations that provide critical resources and services, JCF has created a robust grant program to enhance their efforts.
As of the end of 2024, Jan’s Circle of Friends has
proudly awarded over $724,500 in grants to organizations dedicated to helping children heal, grow, and thrive after experiencing such devastating circumstances. The top three recipients this year were as follows: Hospice & Community Care Coping Kids & Teens at Pathways Center
for Grief and Loss, $15,000; Good Samaritan Services, $20,000; and Domestic Violence Services of Lancaster, $25,000.
Looking ahead, JCF aims to expand its reach and impact. The organization is actively seeking additional community organizations to

When you’re getting ready to do some shopping, whether it is for clothing, furniture, housewares, or décor, secondhand stores are a great place to keep in mind. Shopping at thrift stores is not only fun, but it also benefits many things including your wallet, your planet, and your community!
Secondhand store deals can help you save money and stretch your budget. You can find a plethora of items, including clothing, furniture, books, kitchenware, décor and more. Because these are secondhand items, you’ll be getting them at a discounted priced. You could also find highend, brand name items marked down considerably, when compared to new items. Some thrift stores may have discount days, such as a day of the week where a specific section of the store or certain items are marked down. Other stores may offer continuous discounts where items tagged with a certain color are on sale each day.
Thrifting items, especially larger items such as furniture, helps reduce waste and recycle products that still have potential. Rather than gently used clothing or perfectly functional
housewares going in the trash, they are getting a second life with a new owner. No matter what product you thrift, you’re saving it from the landfill and supporting sustainable systems.
Whether you are looking to furnish a home or add some items to your existing décor, you will find a wide range of items to choose from. The shop is not only stocked with furniture, home goods and appliances, but also power tools, hand tools, paints and stains, building materials, hardware, electrical, plumbing accessories, lawn and garden items and automotive as well.
By offering gently used items, the store helps reduce the demands for new products and ultimately conserves natural resources and reduces waste.
ReClaim-It Home Center Thrift Shop is clean and organized and provides customers good prices all in a friendly atmosphere. So next time you’re in the area, be sure to stop in. Your wallet and the planet will thank you.
organizations that donate a portion of their sales to community programs or other nonprofits such as missions work, youth education, emergency shelter services, community development, and so much more. By purchasing items from these shops, you could be directly contributing to your local community.
Whether you are looking to spice up your wardrobe, are hunting for a vintage piece, or prefer to buy secondhand, thrift stores are a great place to start.
Shopping secondhand also supports your local community. Many thrift stores are independently owned by people in your community. Some are even nonprofit
Thrifting can be an exciting way to shop that not only saves you money, but has the potential for incredible finds and impactful community support.
Have you ever entered a secondhand store excited to find new clothing pieces or home décor, but feel overwhelmed by all the items to look through?
Consider these tips the next time you are thrifting:
1. Do a bit of research: Flip through a newspaper or do a quick internet search for thrift shops near you. Some stores may have an upcoming annual sale or special event that marks down items even further. Additionally, there may be several shops within close proximity to each other, meaning you can hit several stops in one day.
2. Tackle the store section by section: A thrift store could have lot of different racks and section to go through. An easier method to thrifting that still ensures you get to see everything available is to break it up into sections. Perhaps start with clothing, sticking to a few sections that interest you, rather than the entire shop.
3. Be cautious of overconsumption: While thrifting is an amazing way to purchase items on a budget, it can easily lead to overbuying. Ask yourself questions such as: Will I actually wear this? Do I have space for this?
Practice intentional and conscious thrifting as much as possible; just because something is cheap doesn’t mean you have to buy it.
4. Shop offseason: Consider shopping for items when the demand is low as secondhand stores may have lower prices during the off season. Shopping for summer clothes in the winter or winter essentials during the summer, may get you an even bigger discount.
5. Learn to spot quality: One of the most important things to pay attention to while thrifting is the quality of the product you’re looking at. Since thrift store items are secondhand, some may have blemishes that weren’t spotted before they were put out for sale. Many thrift stores do not have a return policy, so it’s a good idea to thoroughly inspect items before purchasing them.
Whether it’s carpeting, clothing or upholstery, fabric can be ruined at the arrival of that first stain. Spills and spots can quickly mar the surface of any item, transforming a prized possession into an eyesore in a matter of seconds. But knowing how to treat a stain can save such items from the scrap heap and save their owners a substantial amount of money along the way.
• Mildew: Rare is the homeowner who hasn’t battled mildew at one point or another. Bleach and baking soda are the materials most often used to tame a mildew outbreak. Depending on the severity of the mildew, begin with one part bleach to one part water in a spray bottle.
Allow this solution to sit on the mildew and then rinse. If this does not work, mix one part bleach to three parts baking soda to form a paste. Use an old toothbrush or scrub brush to scour the mildew, allowing the concoction to set for roughly 30 minutes before rinsing it off. If the mildew is still stubborn, increase the amount of bleach in the cleaning solution. Remember to always clean in a wellventilated room. Diluted bleach also can remove mildew from siding or plastic patio furniture. Never mix bleach with an acid, such as ammonia or cleaning products that contain ammonia.
• Oily stains: Oil and water do not mix, so using water to try to treat an oilbased stain will only exacerbate the problem. The first step to cleaning oilbased stains is to use something absorbent, such as cornstarch or talcum powder, on the stain and blot with a cloth. This will
help draw some of the oil out of the fabric. Lay paper towels down on a table and place the stained clothing face down on the towels. Use a dry cleaning solvent on the back of the stain and push down to blot out the oily residue onto the paper towels. Repeat the process until the oil is removed. Apply a laundry pretreatment product or even plain laundry detergent to the stain. Wash in the hottest water that is safe for the fabric and allow the item to air dry.
• Pet stains: As young puppies learn to house train, they can leave messes indoors, while cats may soil areas of the home if they are scared or finicky. Pet stains should be treated thoroughly because not only do they look unsightly, but they can
begin to smell as well. Leaving odor behind may encourage the pet to urinate in the same area over and over. Plain, white vinegar is a good tool for pet stains. Blot up as much of the urine as possible. Use a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water on the stain. Spray it onto the soiled spot. Blot up the remainder with a dry, clean cloth. Repeat as necessary. To remove any residual odor, sprinkle baking soda on the spot after it has dried. Let the baking soda sit for up to a day. Then vacuum up the powder.
When stains occur, avoid rubbing or pushing the stain further into the fabric. Work from the outside in when blotting to contain the stain as much as possible.

By Anna F. Faust
Im Schnee hab ich die Meelbax ausgeleert: Dabei waar en Buch as noch net dazu gheert. Uff’s erscht Blaat waar en alder Mann abgenumme; In sei Aage sehnt mer Draame an Daage as kumme.
Er schteht bis an die Gnie in diefer SchneeIn ee Hand hebt er’n Buch mit Pickder schee. Er waert en schwerer Rock, sei Kipp hot Ohreflappe; Bis sell Buch glese is, dutt er sei Arwett verlappe.
Ya, mer sehnt sei Luscht fer Blanse in seim Gsicht: Genunk fer mich dreiwe schreiwe des Gedicht! Mit en Schneeschipp in der Hand hot er Friehyaahrfiewer. Fer der Grund im Gaarde scheppe waert ihm liewer.
Im Hanning, unnich’m Schnee, guckt der Gaarde net gross.
In eens, zwee, drei is er’s Rummache los!
Fer lenger waarde watt hadder un hadder
Fer sei Blummesume schreibt er graad sei Adder!

THE SEED CATALOGUE
In the snow, I emptied the mailbox; in it was something out of season. On the cover was an old man with dreams of the future in his eyes./He stood kneedeep in snow holding a pretty picture book. He wore a heavy coat, his cap had earmuffs. Until that book is read, his work will be neglected./His expression shows his eagerness for planting, enough to inspire me to write this poem. With a snow shovel in one hand, he has spring fever. He would rather shovel the ground in the garden than snow./First, he must see what the book has to offer. Quietly he inspects each page. Here are flowers, there are potatoes; also carrots, cabbage and red strawberries./The garden looks small under February’s snow. In one, two, three, he’ll have it dug. To wait any longer will become harder and harder. He will write his order immediately!
***
Erscht muss er sehne was er blanse will. Yedes Blaat geht er driwwer alles is schtill. Doh sehnt er Blumme, datt Grummbiere, Aa Gehlriewe, Graut un rodi Aebiere.
ES SUMEBUCH is another one of Anna F. Faust’s “true to life” poems. Anna wrote on January 30, “I tried to describe the magazine cover accurately. The old man’s expression with a seed book in one hand and a snow shovel in the other, standing in deep snow, fired my imagination and here is how it came out. Gardening used to be fun. Now I enjoy the fruits of others.” Anna signs her note as “Die Anna vun Bannwill as wennich Schnee meh scheppt un wennicher gaardelt.”
We will be enjoying more of the lovely poems from the pen of “die Anna vun Bannwill” as we move deeper and deeper into the New Year!

The Path to Victory
Author: Wenger
Scripture: Proverbs 21:31
“The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.”
This week, we consider the last two pieces of the whole armor of God. The helmet of salvation. The Roman helmet was made from iron. It had a 5” brim attached to the back of the helmet that covers the neck. This protects against sward strikes to the neck. There is also a brim on the front of the helmet to protect the forehead. Cheek guards are attached to the sides of the helmet to protect the side of the face. Some helmets even had a nosepiece to protect the nose. A blow to the head was the quickest way to disable the soldier, hence the helmet was a major part of the armor. The armor is not listed in any order of priority or importance, or the helmet would have been first on the list. As the helmet protects the head from physical damage and disablement of the whole body, Salvation protects the believer’s mind from disorientation, deceit and defeat. The mind is where the spiritual warfare takes place. Paul is not saying get saved…he is saying the salvation in Christ gives your mind a whole new protection and capability, but you need to know it and walk in it as a preparation for battle.
The battle starts and
continues in the mind. Temptation may come through the eye gate, the ear gate, or the gate of emotions, all of which are in our mind. Paul is talking to believers, not unbelievers. I believe Paul has in view walking in the salvation that the believer already has. We are told in scripture to, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill the lust (desire) thereof” (Romans 13:14). The flesh is catalogued in Galatians chapter five and it is an ugly list of characteristics and sinful behaviors that we all, in one way or another, have committed. Every action we take is first and foremost a result of our thought life. This is why it is imperative that we protect the mind by appropriating the salvation we already have. Let’s consider a few verses. Philippians 2:5“Let this mind be in you that
was also in Christ Jesus.” Colossians 3:2 “Set your mind on things above where Christ is not on things on the earth.” The helmet of salvation can also mean protecting your mind from false doctrine. As scripture puts it, “That we are no longer be children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive” (Ephesians 4:14). And lastly, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8). Put your helmet on and keep your mind from entertaining temptation. Don’t let your mind be the devils playground.
Next, we look at the last piece of the whole armor, “The sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.”
The Roman sword (Gladius) was a short sword that was light and easy to maneuver. It was forged from steel and had handles of various metals or wood. Its length was 19” to 23” inches and as a compact and deadly sword it inflicted more damage than larger swords.
The sward is the only offensive weapon described in this text. Even though I mentioned it last week, it bears repeating; in all three of Christ’s temptations in the wilderness He used the word of God to defeat the devil and be victorious.
Christ declared God’s truth, which begs the point that if we don’t study and memorize the word, we won’t be able to use it. Secondly, He defined God’s will which is revealed in His word. The Bible has
the answer to all of the devils temptations. To the temptation of bread, “Thou shall not live by bread alone.” To the temptation of who to worship, “you shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” To the temptation of throwing himself off the temple (Presuming on God), “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.” Christ was determined to obey God’s command in every situation. The Lord’s resolve and determination to do his Father’s will brought victory. If Christ needed the word to be victorious how is it, we think we don’t. Notice finally, when the devil finished the temptation, he departed. It is worth noting that it says he departed until an opportune time. Like the Terminator said, “I’ll be back.” Be ready keep your hand on the sword!
* On February 24, 1988, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn a $200,000 settlement awarded to the Reverend Jerry Falwell for the emotional distress he suffered after being parodied in a magazine, deciding that the satire, while in bad taste, was covered under the First Amendment’s protection of freedom of speech.
* On February 25, 1956, poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes met for the first time at a party.

Watch out for the dynamite! Hinkletown Mennonite School’s (HMS) middle school’s production of the new comedy “Bringing Down the House” will trigger family funny bones on Friday, February 28 and Saturday, March 1. In this almostmusical comedy, three aspiring composers attempt to showcase their new production to Broadway investors. When the dilapidated theater they’ve rented is slated for nextday demolition, they must rush to rehearse—only to be interrupted by everyone from the eager child actor
to the publicityseeking politician to the oblivious demolition crew. Will they ever make it to Broadway?
“Because [the show] came out in 2024, not a lot of people know it,” said Ryan Regitz, seventh grade. “People don’t have expectations for it so that is fun.” The director team of HMS faculty Jennifer Myers, Alyssa Martin, and Jeremy Horning were looking for a show that would highlight students’ talents. “We have a number of skilled student actors with good comedic timing,” said Jennifer Myers. “We wanted a play with multiple lead roles to let the students shine. Plus a musical without songs sounded really interesting.”
“There’s a lot of commotion and a lot of things happening,” Aubrey Kurtz, seventh grade, shared about what makes this show fun. All HMS middle school students are involved in making the production happen. “In our middle school, we value having everyone work as a team and

Polina Filippova 8th Grade
Polina Andreevna Filippova is the amazing daughter of Yelena and Andrey Filippova. She was born June 9th, 2010, which makes her 14 years old. Polina has 6 sisters and 5 brothers.
She has been attending Gehmans Mennonite School (GMS) for all of her 9 years. She also attends a church called Slavic Baptist Church.
Written by: Kelana Sensenig
She has a passion for sports and art (she’s amazing at both). Her dream job is to work for her sister Kristina as a nail tech and play soccer professionally.
Polina has an awesome personality. She’s funny, talkative, and very extroverted. Her favorite subject is science because she loves learning about stars and galaxies. She looks up to many people, but mostly she looks up to Jesus, Ronaldo, and the BMW Company in Germany. Her favorite Bible verse is John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life”. Her favorite book is the Bible, because she’s a Christian and enjoys reading God’s Word. Her favorite hobbies are sports, baking (then eating it of course), and art. She’s amazing at all of those things. Polina also would one day want to travel the world. She especially wants to go to all of Europe, Germany, Portugal (to meet Ronaldo), and explore every state. She also wants to go to Russia, because she’s Russian.
Polina is a great person and if you haven’t met her already, you should.
Jewel Kurtz Senior
Every school probably has at least one student who is so genuinely curious about the world around them that they aspire to learn as much as humanly possible. At Garden Spot High School, that student is senior Jewel Kurtz.
Kurtz is an avid athlete, involved in both swimming and field hockey, and she’s a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She also enjoys running and aspires to run a half marathon one day.
Fueled by her love of exercising, Kurtz is taking a fitness and weight training class that she thoroughly enjoys. “It has really taught me a lot about being in the weight room and it’s given me more confidence with lifting. It’s also helped me see what I’m capable of and what my body can do with weights.”
Kurtz is intrigued by the human body and studying it—so much so that her goal is to become a nurse after graduation. “I’ve always loved learning about the body, and these past few years I’ve enjoyed learning about nutrition and exercising more.” Kurtz is looking forward to successfully completing her anatomy and physiology class this spring.
Written by: Camdyn Smith
When asked about her favorite part of being at Garden Spot, Kurtz highlighted the number of opportunities for extracurricular involvement. “There are a lot of things you can get involved with…It’s been super amazing playing field hockey. I’ve loved every second of it. I’m loving that I can feel super involved, but not to the point where I feel burnt out.”
There’s no doubt Kurtz will continue to be curious and actively explore her career while touching the hearts and
of everyone she
