Earl Fire Companies were on display to check out, as well as the opportunity to meet officers from the West Earl Police Department and see their cruisers. Visitors

of Velma Kelly (Susannah Schelling) and Roxie Hart (Riley Frey), who are two women searching for stardom while also being tried for murder. Both of them land in the Cook County Jail which is run by Matron Mama Morton (Olivia Banks) and plot their comeback to the spotlight and release from prison by

hiring slickster lawyer Billy Flynn (Carlos Kohls) and using the press led by Mary Sunshine (Allurah McNally). Amos Hart (Jacob Urrego) is the ever­faithful husband of Roxie and tries his best to support Roxie throughout her murder trial.

The Akron Volunteer Fire Company Receives Generous Donation

In a show of support for the Akron Volunteer Fire Company, LawnBros, a local lawn care and landscaping business, is proud to announce a donation of $5,000 towards the fire department’s ongoing efforts to fund a new fire engine. This kicking­off spring campaign supports the fire company’s recent purchase of a state-of-the-art fire engine at a cost of $1.123 million dollars, an essential tool for ensuring the safety and protection of the Akron community. This new engine features a 1,000­gallon water tank, low hose bed, seating for eight and HiViz scene lighting.

Promote Health With Daily Habits

Health should be a priority, but too often life gets in the way and individuals take a reactive, rather than proactive, approach to their personal well­being. But living healthier need not be so difficult. In fact, research suggests that small, positive changes in how a person lives each day creates a healthier person over time.

A Hologic­Gallup survey on the state of women’s health conducted in April 2024 found 63 percent of respondents said it was hard for them to make health a priority. They cited feeling overwhelmed, needing to care for others before themselves, emotional/mental health, and work as the top barriers to focusing on health. But it’s important that both women and men recognize that small changes can add up to big results. These healthy habits can help individuals start living healthier lifestyles.

• Get some exercise. Regular physical activity is one of the most important things a person can do for his or her health. Exercise helps manage weight, re­

duces the risk of disease, strengthens bones and muscles, and improves brain health.

• Wear sunscreen every day. After washing your face each morning, apply a facial moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30, or blend equal parts of sunscreen and regular moisturizer. Skin cancer is the most common type of the disease worldwide, and wearing sunscreen can help many people avoid it.

• Spend time outdoors. It takes just a few minutes in the sun to raise vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is necessary for bone and heart health and helps to boost mood, says WebMD. Various studies indicate spending time in green spaces promotes calm and increases happiness.

• Plan your meals. Meal planning is not just a way to manage food budgets. It’s also a great method to being more mindful of food choices and avoiding impulse buys or meals.

• Stay hydrated. Hydration supports good digestion, increases energy and may improve brain performance, states Harvard Health. Drink a glass of water each day upon waking up and with every meal.

Tips To Taking Care Of And Protecting

organ, skin is of the utmost importance to overall health. The skin protects against germs, regulates body temperature and enables tactile sensations, says the Cleveland Clinic. Despite those vital functions, skin is easily overlooked in health care regimens.

Even though the skin is susceptible to aging just like every other part of the body, there are steps everyone can take to maintain healthy skin throughout their lifetimes. Dermatologists, including those from the American Academy of Dermatology, share tips on how to care for and protect the skin so it looks beautiful and functions properly.

• Use sun protection. One of the key ways to care for the skin is to protect it from the sun. Over time, sun exposure can cause age spots, wrinkles and elevate the risk for skin cancer. Always use a broad­spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. Apply generously and be sure to reapply every two hours or more if you will be swimming or perspiring.

and improve mood, sleep

Skin

• Stay away from tanning beds. People mistakenly think that using tanning beds is safer than sitting out in the sun. However, tanning beds emit harmful UV radiation that can cause skin cancer just like the sun. The AAD says one indoor tanning session can increase the risk of developing melanoma by 20 percent. Use self­tanning products instead for a golden glow.

• Quit smoking or never begin. Smoking makes the skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, decreasing blood flow to the skin and making the skin more pale, says the Mayo Clinic. Smoking also depletes oxygen in the skin and can damage collagen and elastin, the fibers that give

skin its elasticity and strength.

• Avoid an overload of products. Many dermatologists suggest their patients stick to the basics daily, which includes a mild cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. Drinking plenty of water also helps the skin. Exfoliating the skin once a week can help remove dead skin cells, but don’t overdo it, which can lead to excess oil production and breakouts.

• Select the right products for your skin type. Choose products that pertain to your skin type, which may be sensitive, normal, dry, oily, or a combination thereof.

• Don’t forget the lips. Many people treat their entire faces but then do not address the skin on their lips. Skin cancer can form on the lips, so use a lip balm

that has an SPF of 30 or higher. Petroleum jelly can add moisture to the lips if they feel dry.

• Visit a dermatologist. A dermatologist is an expert in many conditions of the skin, hair and nails. He or she can perform an annual examination to look at the entire body and determine the health of skin, and identify any moles or spots that may be of concern.

• Check your own skin. People are advised to pay attention to their skin and look regularly for new spots; spots that are different from other spots on the body; moles that itch, bleed or change color; and any other things that seem not quite right.

Taking care of the skin throughout the years can help a person look and feel his or her best.

DER SCHLOF

By Anna F. Faust

Wann mer gut schlofe kann, sett mer dankbaar sei!

Es sin Leit mit Schmatze as net leidlich leie. Annre nemme ihr Druwwel mit ne ins Bett; Bis sie alles iwwerhole, schlofe sie net.

Es is hatt fer deel ihr Aage uffhewe!

Wisst dir as mer schloft en Dritt vun unser Lewe! Deel Leit duhne net gern in en fremme Bett schlofe; Mer kennt ihne rode: Browier zehle Schlofe.

Vielleicht schnarixt eens un verschteert’s anner! Iwwer ihr Schier vun de Deck kumme sie net zammer.

Eens sei Halb aus die Mitt nemme, helft aa net; So en Paar sedde schlofe in Zwilling Bett!

Wann deel oweds laafe verbei an en Karichhof, Yaemere sie bis Halbnacht in ihr Schlof. Ihr Engscht halt sie wacker die ganz Nacht darich; Sie schlofe annariyets so gut in die Karich.

Deel Eldre schicke ihr Kinner ins Bett fer sie schtrofe; Wann sie net schlaefrich sin, kenne sie net schlofe. Der Weg Leit umkumme uff die Schtrooss is schaadSchlofe kann gfehrlich sei ­ hinnich em Raad!

SLEEP

We should be thankful if we can sleep well. Some people have too much pain to lie comfortably. Others take their trouble along to bed. Until they are hashed over, they cannot sleep. - It’s hard for some people to stay awake. Did you know we spend a third of our lives sleeping? Some people dislike sleeping in strange beds. We could advise them to try counting sheep. ­ Perhaps one snores and disturbs the other or they can’t agree on their share of the covers. Taking one’s half out of the middle doesn’t help relations either. Such couples should sleep in twin beds. ­ If some walk past a cemetery in the evening, they moan for half the night. Their anxiety keeps them awake most of the night. They cannot sleep as well anywhere as in church. ­ Parents send their children to bed for punishment; unless they are sleepy, they cannot sleep. It’s sad how many lives are lost on highways. Sleeping at the wheel can be dangerous. ***

Everyone in the Dutch country knows that this is the time of the year when die Grundsau or der Dachs emerges from his hole and sniffs the air. Supposedly, she (or he) has been sleeping happily all winter and now needs to determine just how much sleeping time remains.

Of course, this is also the time of the year when the Pennsylvania Dutch Grundsau Lodsche begin to shake off their winter slumber and begin to meet at sixteen different times and places in the Dutch country. The newest and nearest Grundsau Lodsch is number 17 of Lebanon County, Grundsau Lodsch Nummer 17 am Union Kanaal. We hope to be able to report on some of these current meetings in a later ECK.

In the meanwhile, you may wish to compare your sleeping habits with those so carefully analyzed by die Anna vun Bannwill. Her last warning is most timely: Don’t fall asleep at the wheel ­ for any reason!

A final warning! - Des is widder en Schalkyaahr, gebt acht! Daer Hanning hot 29 Daage!

Stir chocolate, egg yolk and water together in a glass bowl. Set bowl over a large saucepan of barely simmering water and cook, stirring and scraping sides constantly, until chocolate is just melted. (Once chocolate begins to melt, remove bowl every 10 to 15 seconds so the yolk doesn’t overcook.)

“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 says, “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 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 in 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.

Friendly Circle Holds Monthly Meeting

The Friendly Circle held their meeting on Tuesday, March 11 at the Akron Community Church. President Carol Landis conducted the meeting. Members were greeted by Dick and Theda Raffauf. They had 55 members and three guests.

President Carol started the meeting with the theme song, “The More We Get Together,” then led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag and the singing of “God Bless America.” They then sang “This is My Father’s World” and “My Wild Irish Rose.” There was a moment of silence in remembrance of their deceased member, Mary Eichelberger.

The devotional leader was Tim Fleener of the Akron Community Church. He spoke in a humorous and biblical way about aging. He also reminded everyone of where and how to exit the church in the event of an emergency. He then led in prayer.

Following a delicious meal, they were entertained by Nick Viscusso, who played a variety of songs on his keyboard. It was very enjoyable.

The business part of the meeting then was held with Libby Rupp reading the minutes of the previous meting and Debbie Moyer giving the Treasurer’s Report.

Chance’s Challenge - A Storytelling Competition

This year, students from all across Cocalico School District were given the opportunity to showcase their communication skills by entering Chance’s Challenge ­ A Storytelling Competition. The event, sponsored by a grant from the Cocalico Education Foundation, was inspired by the book “What Do You Do With A Chance,” by author Kobi Yamada. The book describes a child who doesn’t know what to do when given the opportunity to take a new chance and was shared by Superintendent Dr. Ella Musser with all staff during opening day activities. Discussions about the book prompted the naming of the Eagles’ mascot - Chancewhich tied in perfectly with the district’s mission to inspire and support learning for every child, every chance, every day.

Chance’s Challenge began with kickoff assemblies at all three elementary schools. Dr. Musser shared the Kobi Yamada book; Mr. Jared Augustine, Elementary Assistant Principal,

Pat Bunting announced and led everyone in singing for birthdays and anniversaries for January, February and March.

encouraged the students to participate in the competition; and Chance the Eagle made a surprise appearance!

Nearly 140 students submitted a story, fiction or nonfiction, that focused on taking chances. Prizes were awarded at the elementary and secondary level, and all participants received the coveted Chance the Eagle plush toy.

REAL Life Community Champion Awards

Cocalico Cares is a program of REAL Life Community Services that brings a coalition of leaders in the Cocalico community together to promote positive youth development. This year, they have started the Community Champion Award! This award is designed to highlight a particular student(s) who goes above and beyond the call of duty to serve their local community!

Cocalico Cares chose two deserving freshmen at Cocalico High School as the first recipients of the award:

Weston Benner and Gavin Harrison. These two students donate their time once a week to participate in an afterschool program for boys at Denver Elementary School called “Positive IMPACT.” They act as role models for the younger students and help adults facilitate the program. They were nominated by the program’s advisor, Mr. Justin Shober, a Denver Elementary Special Education Teacher.

Cocalico Cares wishes to thank Cocalico Plumbing &

Heating for sponsoring the award prizes, including a donation to a local charity made on behalf of the boys.

Shown in the photo, from left to right, are Mr. Rod Redcay (REAL Life Community Services), Gavin Harrison (recipient), Weston Benner (recipient) and Mr. Justin Shober (Denver Elementary Special Education Teacher and Positive Impact Program Leader).

Ephrata High School Bocce Team Bowl

After earning silver medals in the 2024 LancasterLebanon League playoffs, the Ephrata High School Unified Bocce Team enters its second year with strength and confidence, which were on full­display during the second annual Ephrata Area School District (EASD) Bocce Bowl. This year, EASD administrators accepted the challenge for another memorable match with the EHS Unified Bocce Team on Wednesday, February 5.

Unified Bocce teams are comprised of eight students, including those both with and without special education needs. Games are

complete when a team scores 16 points or the designated time limit of 30 minutes has elapsed. When that happens, the current frame will be completed, and the team with the highest point total will be declared winner of that frame.

A final “Golden Frame” was needed to break the tie that occurred in Bocce Bowl 2025, which determined the students would again carry on their legacy of winning the annual event.

Ephrata Area School District implemented Unified Sports in 2019 with a Unified Track Team at

Ephrata High School. EHS is one several schools in Lancaster County and over 10,000 schools across the United States who offer Special Olympics Unified Sports®. The inclusive program brings together students with and without disabilities on sports teams, while also fostering youth leadership, increasing the acceptance of people of all abilities, and reducing stigma and bullying.

Student Spotlight

WEEK 4

Gehmans Mennonite

Kendalyn

Zimmerman 8th Grade

Kendalyn Zimmerman is very likable and a kind person. Her parents’ names are Kenneth and Linda Zimmerman. Kendalyn has three younger brothers and one younger sister. Their names and ages are Brady (10), Chadrick (7), Logan (5) and her sister Lexi is two years old.

Zimmerman

Kendalyn’s family attends Pequea Mennonite Church. Kendalyn and her two younger brothers go to Gehmans Mennonite School.

In her spare time, Kendalyn enjoys horses and going to horse sales. Her hobbies are riding horses and just being outside. Kendalyn’s favorite sport at school is softball. Some people that she admires is her parents. She admires her parents because they are good role models and a good example.

If Kendalyn were to change anything in the world it would be that she only goes to school three times a week instead of five times a week. Kendalyn doesn’t really enjoy school, but if she had to choose a favorite class it would be science. She likes this class because of how her teacher, which is Miss Horning, explains it.

When Kendalyn graduates her eighth year at Gehmans Mennonite School she would like to work for her grandparents. She also thinks that landscaping would be fun to try. One place Kendalyn would like to travel to in the future would be to the west.

Overall, Kendalyn is a great friend and a very nice person.

Borton Garden Spot

10th Grade

Cooper Borton, a sophomore here at Garden Spot, is part of the Class of 2027; outside of school, she volunteers regularly and she’s part of the competitive dance team at LanCo Performing Arts.

Borton began dancing when she was only 2 years old, and she began competing at age 7. Dance became an outlet, she says: “It’s, like, you can express your emotions without having to talk about them.”

All of her hard work in the studio is paying off and it shows. Borton’s dance team has won first overall in the large group category at every competition she’s been part of in recent competition seasons. Borton says: “You work your butt off and hope the outcomes show how much work you put into certain dances.”

Being a role model is a significant focus of Borton’s. She shared in her interview that she began competing because of the positive influence of many of the older girls at her studio. “I think that’s part of the reason I joined. I wanted to be influential to little kids…just like how the big kids were to me.”

When talking about volunteering as a student teacher she says: “I like being that authority figure… it’s fun. I was in their position one time. I was a 2-yearold learning how to chassé across the floor.”

Outside of school and dance, Borton shares how much she admires her mom, Autumn, saying: “She’s just a hardworking woman. I feel like I can talk to her about anything. I want to be like that when I’m older.”
