POUR ON THE SAVINGS EVENT MARCH 3 - APRIL 15

Every year at Christmas, the Lititz Area Mennonite School (LAMS) middle school students exchange gifts and play a game where you can exchange a gift for another, or choose a new unwrapped gift from the pile. Every three years, they do this White Elephant exchange where they do not spend any money on a gift. With the money they do not spend, they use it to support some sort of mission or charity. They had seen a cereal dominos video posted by another school and thought this would be a great way to encourage kids to give, to make giving fun, and to support the Water Street Mission who said they always appreciate cereal donations.

Shown are students watching the boxes topple as they head toward the final section which ended in the gym. Mr. Keith Garner, administrator, is shown center applauding this

student project. They made it a schoolwide event, and with the

help of Kellogg’s, who made a large donation, they collected almost

Boyer Selected To Play At World Games

Berks County Rugby player, Kaiden Boyer, has been selected to play for the prestigious North American Lions u16 team that will be playing in the United World Games in Austria and Heidelberg 7s in Germany this June. This is quite an

honor for Kaiden.

The team has been quite successful over the years with a world championship for the u19 boys and a top fifth place internationally against top European National Teams.

Student Spotlight

Cocalico High School

Abby Forrester Junior

Abby Forrester, daughter of Elizabeth and Dan Forrester, is currently a junior at Cocalico High School. Abby is working hard to succeed in many ways as she nears adulthood, but right now her main focus is her course load in school. She is taking AP Civics and Government, Sociology, Spanish III, Introduction to Forensics, Physics, Applied Calculus, and AP Literature. In addition to this extensive schedule, she is involved in National Honor Society, Global Scholars, Leo Club, and she plays softball. This all has led Abby to dream about a career in Environmental Studies and possibly a minor in Spanish. “I then hope to be able to apply that degree in advocating for climate change and spreading awareness about such issues through different scientific studies,” she stated. In order to achieve this dream, she is already looking at some colleges such as Franklin and Marshall, Bucknell, University of Pittsburg, and some others out of state.

Abby’s aspirations are not just limited to inside school; she also works at Village Haus and enjoys spending time with friends and listening to music. She values this time with friends saying, “No matter what we are doing, I am always happier when I am around them.” Being so open in front of people was not always this easy for Abby. She described her experience growing as an individual in high school and learning to prioritize herself while becoming more sociable to people she doesn’t know even though, “it can be intimidating.”

Written by: Hanna Weller

A specific quote that has gotten her through these times is, “What’s the point of having a voice if you’re going to be silent in those moments you shouldn’t be?” Abby might use her voice during her plans to travel to Venice, Italy, in the future. Cocalico wishes Abby all the best!

“Winter Blues” and start the new season with friends and lots of fun? Join the Friends of the Adamstown Area Library for their annual Basket Bingo.

All of the baskets are filled with “goodies” donated by

the Friends and generous community sponsors. Refreshments, including chicken corn soup, grilled hot dogs, snack plates and desserts are also available.

Druwwle

By E.G. Weber

Druwwle is wie en Schockelschtul:

Halt’s uff fer en hunnert Yaahr, Uff un ab wie en alder Fool, Bischt als noch wu du waarscht davor!

Es batt nix! Es dutt ken gut, Du sottscht ken Haus druff baue, Die helft Zeit is’s doch nix dazu; Es is besser fer glaawe un traue.

Ferwas hot en Fogel en Schwantz?

Ferwas hen Dauwe Fliggel?

Sie sin net bekimmert mit dief Wasser, Sie fliege nuff uff der Hiwwel.

Mit Druwwle kummscht anariets hie,

Es fresst as wie en Schware. Es schwellt dich uff mit bidderie Brieh, As am verdawwere ware.

So grick Graft un guck in die Heh, Wu die Sunn scheint un alles is wohl. No kannscht’s nemme wie’s kummt Un fiehlscht besser alle mohl.

Geh net iwwer en Brick eb du datt bischt, Leb yuscht ee Daag uff emohl. Leg dei Druwwel uff der Herr Yesus Grischt, No is alles gut un wohl. *** Worry

Worry is like a rocking chair, Rock a hundred years or more, If you worry, you will get nowhere. You’re just where you’ve been before.

It won’t help, won’t do any good, Don’t build a house upon it, It’s better to believe and trust, Half the time there is just nothing to it.

Why does a bird have a tail?

Why does a dove have wings?

Worry is of no avail, Look up! Think of better things.

You don’t accomplish anything with worry, It festers away like a boil. It swells up like bitter waste. And all of its works will spoil.

So have faith and hope and look up, Soon you will see the sun shining through. Try and take things as they come,

You will notice you will feel better too.

Don’t cross a bridge till you are there!

Live just one day at a time.

Your heavenly father is everywhere,

He will make your life sublime. ***

This ECK is being written early in the morning of the first day of summer in anno Domini (in the year of our Lord) 1985. Recently, we came upon the poem Druwwle, which our octogenarian friend plus one mailed us on the ninth of April 1982. (Mir sin ewwe als noch hinne nooch!) We write “octogenarian plus one” because yesterday, June 20, was the 81st birthday of “Der alt Weisskopp.” This great event slipped by us last year, but this year we are determined to raise a rumpus about it. And yesterday, on Ed’s 81st birthday, we just happened to be driving through that famous valley of meadows known as “Wisse Daal,” where “Der alt Weisskopp” makes his home. Mr. and Mrs. Ed had just finished their dinner (Bischli-Gnippli had just tied on the feed bag at the internationally known Ephrata Cloister Diner), so we had an animated chat which covered subjects ranging from our beloved “Papa” Horning and the recent exhibit of ca. 130 paintings at the Berks County Historical Society, Ed’s daughter, Irene (who was at the opening of the exhibit and writes a weekly column), the Poconos and a multitude of additional topics too numerous to mention. So again, belated as it may be, we want to wish “Der alt Weisskopp” en hallicher Gebottsdaag!

“Der alt Weisskopp” will again be vacationing in the Poconos this summer, so we are hoping he will again be inspired by his favorite lake, all that fresh air and all those trees. We await your next Dutch poem, “Weisskopp!” November 13, 1985 En Bischli-Gnippli as noch net 61 is!

“Don’t take it lightly”

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Romans 2:4“Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and restraint and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?”

This week we will review how God’s patience, restraint and kindness is revealed in salvation, for the unbeliever.

God’s Kindness and patience in Salvation:

As an unbeliever our state was destitute of any hope. The

Bible is clear on this: John 3:18 ­ “Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”

The Bible states, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” It goes on further to say in Romans 6:23 ­ “The wages of sin is death.” This is not only physical death, but ultimately the second death, which is to be cast into the lake of fire and be forever separated from God.

The last part of Ephesians 2:12 declares the state of unbelievers ­ “Having no hope, without God, in the world.” The unbeliever’s

fate is sealed if they do not see the goodness of God and embrace Christ’s forgiveness ­ “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment; but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matthew 25:46) Fortunately, there is an answer for man’s dilemma. God in His goodness, kindness and patience has provided a way. “For God so loved the world that He sent his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.”

Remember what Romans 6:23 said ­ “The wages of sin is death.” Someone had to die and pay the penalty; God’s own Son, our savior, died in our place on the cross. 1st Peter 3:18 says,

“For Christ also suffered for sins once for all time, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit.”

One argument that always comes up in evangelism is how can a good God send people to hell? He freely offers a plan of salvation. If you reject that plan of salvation, you send yourself to hell. We see this very same scenario in life everywhere; you may have the answer to someone’s problem and implore them to take the advice, but ultimately it’s their choice. If they choose to go their own way regardless of sound advice, they will suffer the consequences. It

THIS WEEK’S

133 Church Street, Bowmansville 717-445-6256 www.stpaulsuccchurch.org

This

really comes down to free will. It is your choice…as they say, choose wisely!

Christ is the sacrificial lamb of the Old Testament. John the Baptist said it clearly, “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’” His death was sufficient enough for the sin of the whole world. This doesn’t mean the population of the world will have their sins forgiven, but that His death was sufficient to that extent. In other words, every man, woman and child can be saved, but only those who believe on Him will be saved. As the jailer questioned, “What must I do to be saved?” Peter’s

answer was, “Believe on the Lord and you will be saved.”

The book of Romans 10:13 states, “For Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Religion is always about doing. Christianity is about DONE. Christ’s work on the cross is done! You can’t add to it. You can’t improve on it. You can only receive it when you place your faith in Him and His work on your behalf. Don’t think lightly of His kindness, patience and restraint! It can’t be said any plainer… “God so loved” YOU. Don’t run out the clock on God’s kindness. The biggest trouble with 11th hour conversions is that people often die at 10:45.

On Thursday, March 2, students and staff at Adamstown Elementary School celebrated “Reading Rocks,” a day dedicated to the importance of reading! Throughout the day, guest readers stopped by the library and classrooms to read to the students. Readers shared favorite

stories from their childhood or a book that was their child’s favorite. Guests were welcome to share about their jobs and allowed students to ask questions.

This day was created to focus on the joy and excitement found in reading. Reading takes you

on an adventure, makes you laugh, and helps you find ways to solve problems, and reading together brings us all closer. This day also allowed Adamstown Elementary to celebrate the community that supports the students and teachers. Representatives from the Lancaster Barnstormers,

UGI Utilities, and other area businesses joined with Cocalico staff and Board members to share books with the students.

Shown are Adamstown first grade students along with special guests (left

St. Paul’s Church Hosts Discussion

St. Paul’s Evangelical Congregational Church, 2120 Main Street, Lititz (Rothsville), will be presenting a three-week series that will explore recent trends and challenge these and other questions about what is being interpreted as the end of the Christian Era in the United states. The presenter is the Rev. Dr. Kenneth H. Miller, Ph.D, pastor of St. Paul’s.

• Sunday, March 12: The Numbers and Their Implications for American Christians.

• Sunday, March 19: Did

Christianity Lose the Culture War?

• Sunday, March 26: Which Way Forward for the Church?

Time for discussion will be included in each of the sessions. All sessions will begin at 7:00 p.m.

Many publications, both religious and secular, have published research indicating that Christianity is dwindling in terms of both participation and influence. Most of these reports indicate that the decline is increasing at a rapid pace. What are the numbers telling poeple? What’s behind the seemingly sudden decline? What are people witnessing as they see it happening? Can it be a good thing? What might it mean for both church and culture?

BOOSE ALUMINUM FOUNDRY CO., INC.

What We Do Here Matters!

Since 1933, Boose Aluminum Foundry Co., Inc. (BAF) has been providing Americanmade quality aluminum sand castings to their loyal customers in the military, medical, robotics, power generation, and commercial sectors. Started by Oran B. Boose and his wife, Kathryn, the company cast and painted small trivets, toys and knickknacks.

In the 1940s and 1950s, BAF grew several times. World War II and the Korean War put greater demands on the expanding market for high quality aluminum sand castings; BAF met the challenge, being awarded the Navy “E” for excellence. Oran had a dream to produce and ship 1,000,000 pounds of aluminum castings during a single year. Unfortunately, that dream was not realized until 1977, 12 years after his death. His wife, Kathryn, and son, Vernon, had taken over the business and were preparing for the future of the company, with hopes of carving an even greater niche for itself worldwide.

In the 1990s, BAF installed a thermal reclamation system to make the no-bake sand recyclable. This resulted in a number of positive environmental impacts: reduction of wastes into landfills and conservation of valuable natural resources. Through the 2000s came several new pieces of equipment and upgraded technology. However, in early 2022 a fire destroyed a large portion of the plant. BAF rebounded quickly and began operations within a month after the fire.

BAF takes great pride in the work they do because they know that what they do at BAF matters. The company proudly remains family-owned and operated. BAF is located at 77 North Reamstown Road, Stevens. PA 17578-9493. They can be reached at 717-336-5581 or visit their website at www.boosealum.com.

Yunginger says that earning customer satisfaction through trust, offering superior knowledge of the products offered and giving his customers peace of mind, is what sets Bumpers Etc. Auto Body & Collision apart from the competition. He feels that his loyalty to his customers, and his ability to break down the repair process in a way that is easily understood is why his customers recommend him to others.

Bumpers Etc. employs the latest technology in vehicle repair, including utilizing the latest vehicle diagnostic equipment and futuristic materials, and they use top of the line Sherwin-Williams® automotive paint products. Yunginger and his employees are all I-Car certified, and attend monthly classes to further their educational knowledge. They specialize in auto collision services, ceramic coating applications, repair plan consultation, luxury auto detailing and paintless dent removal. Yunginger says that 80% of their jobs are insurance claims, and they will work with you to obtain your insurance claim repairs.

THE ROBERT M. LOMBARD HYPERBARIC OXYGENATION MEDICAL CENTER, INC.

Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy + Pulsed Electro-

Magnetic Field Therapy = a powerful combination!

Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) is a prescribed medical treatment. A patient breathes pure oxygen in a sealed chamber while the surrounding pressure is increased to a therapeutic level. The increase in pressure dissolves oxygen into the bloodstream and all the fluids of the body. The treatment triggers hundreds of internal biological processes, builds tiny new blood vessels, boosts the immune system and stem cell production, adversely affects many microbes and reduces inflammation and low oxygen areas in the body. This can have a positive impact on a wide range of diagnoses and conditions. Radiation-induced injuries and non-healing diabetic wounds, among other maladies, can be healed with minimal surgical intervention. Other diagnoses can be positively helped with HBOT when traditional medicine needs a boost. When antibiotics alone can’t cure a Lyme disease infection, under hyperbaric oxygenation conditions, the Lyme bacteria can’t survive. The immune system cleans up the dead bacteria and the body begins to repair the damage caused by the bacteria. HBOT can be life changing for patients.

Current studies are underway and show the positive impact hyperbaric oxygenation has had on long-haul COVID-19 patients. HBOT reduces inflammation, repays the lingering ‘oxygen debt’ and initiates healing of previously impacted areas. Patients with reduced cognitive performance (“brain fog”), extreme fatigue, and headaches, among other symptoms, report improvement in their symptoms.

Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is a non-invasive therapy that helps improve circulation, energy balance, and nutrient uptake. We offer the combination of therapies for the health benefits of our patients.

We are an outpatient clinic that uses 100% oxygen in monoplace chambers. The Nursing Director, Connie Waltz, RN, has over 40 years of experience in the field. For information, please call 717-684-3228, visit HBOXYGEN.COM, or email: hboxygen@earthlink.net. Business hours are by appointment. 255 N. 6th Street, Columbia, PA 17512.

HURSH’S COUNTRY STORE (Two Stores Side-by-Side)

The name “Hursh’s Country Store” is a misnomer. The reason being that Hursh’s Country Store is actually two stores, side-byside! Located at 2425 West Main Street, Hursh’s started out at building A (on the right hand side) back in the Fall of 2014. A few years later, owners Carl and Lori Hursh purchased the building next door (building B) and utilized Carl’s background in construction to renovate an older landmark home into a vital addition to their business.

Ironically enough, it was Carl’s background in construction that led him and Lori to open Hursh’s. Carl’s construction job kept him away from the most important part of his life: his family. The Hursh’s surmised that if they could open a successful store near their home, they would be rewarded with more time together. Their dream soon became a reality, and Hursh’s Country Store was born.

The two buildings house a different set of products. Building A boasts “Farmhouse Style” décor, featuring products from P. Graham Dunn, coupled with traditional wall-art (with much of it made in the U.S.A.), and a large selection of gospel and Christian CDs (once again, many of these recordings are by local musicians). Building B consists of more utilitarian products for the home, including housewares and sewing machines and sewing products. Building B also boasts a large selection of retro style toys for children of all ages. Hursh’s Country Store is one of the only PFAFF product dealers in the area. Carl states that it’s the ability to provide quality PFAFF sewing machines and products to his customers, in order for them to fabricate their own clothing, that has taken his business to the next level. Hursh’s Country Store also does repair work on all makes and models of sewing machines. Carl says that in a day and age where online shopping is all the rage, he enjoys providing his customers with a store where it’s fun to shop, because he feels people still enjoy shopping in person. Hursh’s Country Store can be reached at 717-721-2575.

BEYOND THE FORK IN THE ROAD - Senior Moving Solutions

“Thank you to you and your crew for all that you did (above and beyond) to move my parents. I could never have done it by myself, so it was a huge relief just to put it all in your competent hands. Both my parents and I felt cared for by you and your crew and that is a large, positive endorsement for your company. I’ve been singing your praises to those who ask how we got everything accomplished.” As evidenced by this positive review from a client, moving doesn’t have to be stressful. The staff at Beyond The Fork In The Road provides customized moving solutions for seniors. The compassionate team works to ease the physical and emotional toll on seniors transitioning to a new home.

You receive a magnetic floor plan of your new home, complete with your furniture in position. You have the ability to move furniture and visualize your new living space prior to making final decisions about what to relocate to your new home. Beyond The Fork In The Road uses color coded totes to pack so movers know which room the tote goes to, which decreases time and cost. The totes are sanitized between uses.

One of the most appreciated services they offer is the unpacking process. Furniture, clothing and any other items will be moved and carefully unpacked so that your new home is in move-in condition. Utensils will be in drawers, dishes will be on shelves, clothing will be hung in your closet, and even your bed will be made! All you do is come home and relax. Beyond the Fork In The Road belongs to a national organization that has a network of Move Managers all over the country. They are also accredited by the National Association of Senior Move Managers – SMM-C, a certification offered only by this organization. What is done with all the unwanted items? Beyond The Fork In The Road saw this need and started a consignment shop that gives back 60% to their clients to help offset the cost of their move. Every sell-able item is tagged for their store; eBay and MarketPlace are used for higher end items. Other options for asset disposition include gifting to family members, auction and donation.

SHANK DOOR

The Shank Door company is happily celebrating 59 years of service within the community. With a variety of doors available to both residential and commercial clients, Shank Door has grown to be the largest garage door installer across the region.

The success of this local business began in Harrisonburg, Virginia in the 1950s by Ralph Shank when he started selling and installing garage doors. With hard work, discipline and the heart of a true entrepreneur, Ralph moved to Baltimore for a short time and then moved to Myerstown in 1964. He began selling doors out of his basement and as his reputation for excellent service, superior labor and remarkable products spread throughout the community, the business continued to prosper. The current location of Shank Door at Myerstown was originally a farm belonging to Ralph’s brother, Aaron Shank. Ira Mast, the company’s first associate, was hired in 1971. In 1973, the farm officially became the established site for the business. Ralph decided to sell the business to Ira in 1976. He remained in some capacity following the transition. They also have a team working out of their Lancaster warehouse location.

Ira placed high importance on thoroughness and continued growing the company competently and yielding growth. Despite a fire in 1982 when the building burned, Ira persevered and Shank Door rebounded and several new additions were built. The success of Shank Door is due to God-given opportunities, loyal contractors and customers.

While styles and times have certainly changed from Ralph’s initial interest in doors, the market for quality, durability and function has not. Employing approximately 90 people, Shank Door maintains the reputation of quality and hard work set forth by Ralph. This commitment has earned them excellent reviews on Google and Angie’s List, as well as countless customer referrals. Overhead, entry and car wash doors, roll up screens and retractable awnings are among the products available for residential or commercial clients. If you are looking for any of these products and need an installation team that is highly skilled, please call Shank Door. Their phone number is 717-738-4499. You may also view their website at www.shankdoor.com for more information. Their hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by appointment. 24-hour emergency service is available.

EPHRATA YOUTH CHEERLEADING PROGRAM, INC.

In 2017, Lisa Copenhaver was faced with a dilemma. The Ephrata Recreation Center no longer sponsored a midget cheerleading program, but the community still needed a vehicle in which to teach and coach cheerleading to the local youth. It was then that Copenhaver decided to take matters into her own hands, and founded the Ephrata Youth Cheerleading Program, Inc. Because Copenhaver founded the business, she decided to take the bull by the horns, and create a unique program that promotes cheerleading, while helping the girls learn in a fun filled atmosphere.

Alongside program President Kim Capwill, and family members Megan Copenhaver (Vice President) and Brittany Copenhaver (Secretary/Treasurer), Copenhaver decided that her fledgling business would be a non-schoolrelated organization, and be totally independent, subsisting on registration fees and fundraising events only. Copenhaver’s next step was to assemble Board Members and a coaching staff that would attain all the necessary federal, state and child abuse history clearances needed to make her dream a reality.

Now, five years later, Copenhaver is proud to have such a dedicated staff of coaches and instructors who can provide each young lady with one-on-one guidance, helping them to attain their individual goals. Copenhaver states that she gets an immense sense of gratification from seeing the girls push themselves to their limits and beyond. She welcomes input from the children’s parents and encourages their involvement in their child’s endeavors. Want to learn more?

As the original Founders of Advanced Tech Hearing Aid Centers, along with their daughters, Jennifer and Farrah (owner of Lewisburg, PA office), and their son, Dr. Christopher Kocher, AuD, their company has grown to be one of the largest and premier Hearing Aid businesses in the Central PA area. They truly are a “family-owned” business.

We believe every patient deserves sincere and honest service that exceeds their expectations. We treat you with the same care and concern as if you were a friend or family member. We continually provide that service by keeping abreast of the latest hearing aid technology and offer a selection of hearing aids manufactured by the best names in the industry.

Our prices are always reasonable and our service is unmatched by anyone, including having a repair lab on the premises. We offer a “try before you buy” program as we want anyone considering hearing aids not to worry about making a down payment, getting overwhelmed with technology or anything else. We simply want you to experience what it is like to hear what you have been missing and determine how much hearing aids will help you better your quality of life with good hearing. The real test takes place in your everyday life which is why we started offering this program many years ago. All you need to do is wear them for a week or so and just listen and experience the world around you to determine if the timing is right for you to take the step to better hearing. There is no cost or obligation on your part at all!

Hearing loss impacts more than you think and isn’t just an ear issue; it’s a quality of life and health issue. Growing evidence indicates that older adults with hearing loss are more likely to experience the symptoms of cognitive decline. Hearing aids can improve the negative effects of hearing loss on the brain.

Some of the effects of Untreated Hearing Loss are: increased mental fatigue/stress, poorer memory, difficulty focusing, poorer mental health, social withdrawal and depression.

We want you to “hear what you are missing,” so please call today 717-560-5023.

SPARROW FAMILY MEDICINE

Sparrow Family Medicine is a direct primary care practice that opened their Akron-based office in December of 2022. Originally founded in October of the same year, Sparrow Family Medicine is a membership-based practice, rather than insurancebased. Benefits of a membership-based practice include: Visits customized to your needs, afterhours access to your physician, transparent pricing and additional savings on lab work, medication and imaging.

Owner/founder Candice Cavicchia Miller (MD) is a graduate of Messiah College and Jefferson Medical College. Her experience in the field of medicine includes time at a local family practice and Lancaster General Hospital. Dr. Cavicchia Miller states that a membership-based practice like Sparrow Family Medicine offers more individualized care, and it is often more affordable for patients, especially for those with high deductibles or healthcare sharing plans, but the benefits of a membership-based practice are for all patients, regardless of insurance.

Patients commonly have many frustrations with the current medical system, including: Rushed visits, long waits to get appointments, even longer waits in the waiting room to see the physician, and being unable to access your physician after hours with questions and urgent concerns. It is because of these reasons, Cavicchia decided to open her business. She wanted to care for patients without the limitations of insurance-based practices. Patients are still able to use their insurance for any care needed outside of Sparrow Family Medicine.

Dr. Cavicchia Miller states: “When I or my family members are sick, I want to know that someone cares for my family like I do. Everyone deserves to have that someone, and that’s why I created Sparrow. I value the old school patient to physician relationship that is now so challenging to provide in an insurance-based practice. We want to be here for you.” The cost for membership at Sparrow Family Practice varies according to age. Sparrow Family Practice is located at 240 North 7th Street, Suite 500, Akron, Pa. 17501. They can be reached at 717-478-3850 or at www.sparrowfamilymedicine.com. Their hours are Mon. through Fri. 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. by appointment only.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN YMCA CAMPS

YMCA Camp Conrad Weiser first opened its doors in 1948. For 75 years their staff and volunteers have worked to connect kids in the outdoors while offering exciting programs that teach values like caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Providing outdoor experiences for children and families has become more critical as they seek to provide a space where people can explore nature and build meaningful relationships away from screens.

The South Mountain YMCA Camps, Bynden Wood Day Camp and Camp Conrad Weiser are summer camp destinations for young people, offering traditional camp programs, literary theme camps, horseback riding experiences, as well as leadership and adventure camps. In addition, families and school groups visit the mountain for family camps and outdoor-environmental education programs year-round.

“We offer a huge selection of outdoor camp activities, and we work with campers and counselors from around the world,” says Cory Evans, Senior Program Director. “It’s a special place with 12 to 15 countries represented each summer. It’s the United Nations of camping,” he continued with a smile. In addition to in-bound international travel programs, Camp Conrad Weiser also offers out-bound programs in which a group of local students travel abroad to take part in summer camp programs with YMCAs in Germany and Spain.

One camper parent shared her experience with the South Mountain YMCA Camps in this way: It’s the best camp in the area for so many reasons: traditions decades old, activities for every age, off-season programming for all ages, a beautiful setting, safe, educational, and fun - everything you could want in a summer camp!

The South Mountain YMCA Camps takes pride to make sure everyone feels welcome, is supported in finding their voice, and has the environment to learn new skills and build meaningful relationships

At a time when most banks are re-evaluating and closing their brick-and-mortar branch offices, Bank of Bird-in-Hand has “added to the flock,” with the opening of branches in Manheim and Schaefferstown in 2022.

Since its beginning in 2013 with just 10 employees and one branch, Bank of Bird-in-Hand now has over 140 employees, six branches, and a fleet of Mobile Branches - fully equipped RVs offering everything you’d find in any bank building. These “Gelt Buses,” named for the word “money” in Pennsylvania Dutch, allow Bank of Bird-in-Hand to bring services to those who traditionally have been underserved by the banking industry, including Lancaster County’s Plain Community. They also continue to provide services, such as telephone banking and courier services, that have gone by the wayside at other banks.

Also in those ten years, its initial $17 million in starting capital has grown to over $1 billion in total assets.

In October 2022, Bank of Bird-in-Hand opened its Manheim branch, located at 118 Doe Run Road. Just a few weeks later in November 2022, the Bank’s Schaefferstown Branch opened its doors at 2483 Stiegel Pike, in the shopping center anchored by Dutch-Way Farm Market and Good’s Store. “Community pride and strong work ethic are at the heart of what makes the towns of Manheim and Schaefferstown special places to live and work, and they align with the values of Bank of Bird-in-Hand,” shares Kevin J. McClarigan, CPA, Chairman of the Board for Bank of Bird-in-Hand. “Entering these two communities now expands the reach of the Bank into Lebanon County and strengthens its presence in Northern Lancaster County. It is a testament to the entire staff, Board of Directors and shareholders, and their commitment to delivering a quality banking experience focused on building relationships.”

You can also catch the Bank of Bird-in-Hand Mobile Branches on the road and stationed at Nolt’s Greenhouse Supply (Ephrata) on Mondays, Root’s Market (Manheim) on Tuesdays, and Meadowcreek BBQ Supply (New Holland) on Thursdays.

HAYLOFT ICE CREAM

The Allegany Boys Camp Board had been praying about the possibility of having an ice cream or thrift store as a means of support for their boy’s camp. The camp for troubled boys is located in western Maryland. In 2017, when the Yoder family decided to close Hayloft Candles, they offered to lease the building to the camp to start an ice cream shop. The new business was named Hayloft Ice Cream and all the staff, other than the managers, are volunteers. Some volunteers come from other states and serve as volunteers for a year. The restaurant is non-profit and all of their proceeds go to the camp. Every purchase made at Hayloft Ice Cream will help make a difference in a camper’s life.

Hayloft Ice Cream serves soft pretzels, ice cream, as well as sandwiches, soups and salads. Soft serve ice cream flavors can range from vanilla, chocolate, and twist plus a different feature flavor every month. Please call prior to visiting as the flavors offered do vary. If you are looking for a sundae, they have nine different kinds to choose from. Other delicious treats include “Barn Blasters”, gelatis, floats, Italian ice and cold brew shakes. The soft pretzels are homemade and available as regular pretzel sticks, in garlic parmesan, sour cream and onion, and cinnamon sugar.

A unique item to Hayloft Ice Cream is a pretzel log sandwich. The center of a pretzel log is filled with cheesesteak or chicken ranch or one of the featured flavors of the month.

Please go to their Facebook page and “like” it to stay up to date with their monthly specials. They are also looking to add more items, like fries and burgers and chicken sandwiches, to their menu this year.

Indoor and outdoor seating both are available. They have a beautiful pond where you can sit and enjoy a treat or feed the fish and ducks. A newly built playground welcomes kids to come play.

MARTINDALE MATTRESS

In a world of huge big-box stores and mega corporations, shopping for a mattress today can be a daunting task. With such impersonal choices as shopping online, or submitting to existing as a faceless, nameless number at a mass-produced warehouse, where does one turn to in order to receive a personal touch while purchasing a high quality mattress? This is a question that Sheldon Martin, owner of Martindale Mattress, asked himself while he was working at a local building supply business.

While learning his craft at this business, Martin was presented with an opportunity to sell high quality mattresses at a fraction of the price of the larger, more imposing opposition. After speaking with family, friends and neighbors, Martin realized that there was indeed a potential market for a mattress supplier with a personal touch.

So in 2019, with this information in hand, Sheldon Martin and his wife Lucille decided to open Martindale Mattress. Martin is quick to point out the differences in his business and the larger corporate entities, including the fact that he sells the same high-quality mattresses larger companies offer at greatly discounted prices. These mattresses are factory blems with little or no defects, which is why they are offered at such discounted prices. Martin also offers a local delivery service for a small fee. Martin states that the majority of his clients learned about his business through word of mouth and through local advertising, and that they prefer his small-town individualized touch rather than the impersonal approach of the larger retail stores. Martin gets a great sense of satisfaction from helping keep the cost of living down for his clients by offering quality mattresses at affordable prices. Martin also wants to get the word out that he has expanded his business, and now sells furniture such as office chairs, three-piece couches, love-seats and recliner sets and more.

You can visit Martindale Mattress at 114 Hurst Road, Ephrata, PA 17522. Their hours are Mon., Tues., Thurs., and Fri. 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sat., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Wednesdays by appointment. They are closed on Sundays. You can reach them at 717-445-9153.

Beginning in Lancaster County in 1932, the story of John F. Martin & Sons is one of hardship and perseverance of faith. The company’s namesake, John F. Martin, was a local farmer working to support his young family through the Great Depression. What John realized was that he could bring his family through the challenges of the time by selling fresh produce and farm-raised poultry at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. Unwavering in his commitment to family and community, John traveled to and from Reading Terminal Market every week for 21 years until 1961, when he decided to open a butcher shop on his family farm and sell meat at local markets. Along with his five sons, John would go on to establish John F. Martin & Sons, selling high-quality, farm-raised meat products to communities throughout Pennsylvania.

Today, John F. Martin & Sons continues to follow its long-standing tradition of bringing high-quality products to its customers while steadfastly committing to family values, community, and excellent customer service.

ALL METAL ROOFING SPECIALISTS

“We’re not the biggest, just the best.” This has always been the motto of All Metal Roofing Specialists, LLC since it was founded. A spin-off of ACR Metal Roofing Distributors, All Metal was started in response to a struggling economy where there were a lot of good workers that needed jobs. Roofs still needed to be replaced and metal was, and is, a great option. Family-owned and operated, we at All Metal believe every home can benefit from a metal roof. Metal roofing is environmentally friendly with at least 25% post-consumer recycled material, and metal can be installed over old shingles, saving landfill space. A metal roof also acts as a radiant heat barrier, which will reduce your attic temperature in the summer by 20 to 30 degrees to offer increased energy efficiency and reduced cooling costs. We install only the best metal roofing, and our years of experience will help in choosing the right product that is durable and attractive for your home.

As you go through the process of selecting a contractor, it can be difficult to know who you should trust with your home. We’ve worked in the home improvement industry for over 25 years, and we’ve heard our customers say many times that choosing a reputable contractor is the most daunting task. Visit our website at www.allmetalroofs.com. We want to make sure that our clients feel that they have made the right decision in choosing our company. We will take the time to fully understand your roofing needs and answer all your questions. After a comprehensive analysis, we will recommend a solution based on your preferences, your needs, and your budget. We will work hard to save you both time and money. You will never spend any money that is not necessary, only what is required to do the job right. We would love to work with you to craft a high-quality, custom roof that’s perfect for your home.

RABER’S TIRE

According to John Raber, running a small business that is family owned and operated is the only way to go. When Raber’s Tire opened their doors in 2008, John and his son Jarren worked together to do whatever it took to bring customers satisfaction. Their dedication to this principle caused the business to grow in leaps and bounds, bringing John and Jarren to the point where they couldn’t keep up anymore. John decided to hire his nephew, Jeff Mast. With the help of another family member, Raber’s Tire is ready to help and satisfy even more customers, without having to sacrifice their desire to remain family owned and operated. John started his career at the age of 21 in a family owned and operated retail tire shop. The business was owned by John’s brother-in-law. “It’s been a blessing to work with family members,” comments John. For three years, John continued to work with his brother-in-law as a shop foreman. In 1997, John opened his own tire shop in Cambridge, Ohio. Under the clear leading of God, John and his family moved to Ephrata in 2008. Raber’s Tire opened in the spring of the same year.

Upon opening, John wanted to reflect his family’s desire to honor and glorify God in everything they did, including changing tires. This desire hasn’t changed as they still seek to serve Him, as they serve you. They thank and glorify God for prospering His business abundantly. John characterizes the tire business as hard work, but also very satisfying and enjoyable. He always looks forward to the next day at work.

“Big and small, we do them all” describes the tire inventory available to customers. Passenger, light truck, farm, lawn and semi-tires are available for purchase. Raber’s features Yokohama brand tires. Yokohama offers a full range of styles and sizes and with factory direct ordering Raber’s is able to offer this great brand of tires at amazing prices.
