* In Australia, weed whackers are called whipper snippers.

* Beaver College changed its name to Arcadia in 2001, partly because anti­porn filters blocked access to its website.

* The FBI dubbed Ted Kaczynski “The Unabomber” because his early mail bombs were sent to universities (UN) and airlines (A).

* Newborn babies have nearly 100 more bones than full­grown adults.

* The Antikythera mechanism, discovered by sponge divers in 1900, is sometimes called the world’s first analog computer. Designed to calculate dates and predict

astronomical phenomena, it was so advanced nothing surpassed it for nearly 1,500 years.

* Some libraries have been known to use extraordinary measures to ensure titles remained on shelves. A notable example is Marsh’s Library in Dublin, Ireland, where in the 1800s, visitors desiring to peruse rare books were locked in cages until they finished reading!

* Residents of the Galapa­

gos island of Floreana use a barrel of disorganized mail in place of a formal postal system. Tourists are respon­

sible for sorting through the mail and grabbing any parcels they can deliver on the way to their destination.

* Marie Curie’s notebooks are still radioactive.

* An ordinance in Gainesville, GA, states that everyone must eat fried chicken, “a culinary delicacy sacred to this municipality, this county, this state, the Southland and this republic,” with their hands.

Decorative Silver

Collectors and makers alike know that there are many ways to decorate silver. It can have an engraved design or monogram. It can be pierced or reticulated with lace­like cutouts. A textured design may be hammered, gadrooned, repousse or made with another technique. Some of the most elaborate and complex decorations on silver are applied; that is, made separately and then attached to the silver piece. Applied pieces may be functional, like handles or finials, or strictly decorative. Three­dimensional figures, especially natural elements, human figures or mythological creatures, are popular.

candy hidden inside.

This schoolboy penny toy sold for $840. Toys today are much more complicated with electric motors or digital instructions, but kids still play school.

Q:Is there an easy way to date an unused postcard? I know the amount of the postage stamp has often changed and there are lists of the prices and dates. But when were photographs rather than color pictures used? When was it called a “postal card”?

Another feature of this bowl, its gilt enameled interior, may serve a purpose besides decoration. As any collector knows, silver is prone to tarnish, especially when exposed to substances like salty, acidic or sulfurous foods. Some tableware is coated with gold or enamel on the interior, which protects the silver as well as adding decorative value.

* * *

A:Postcard collectors know and have listed the table of postage and postcard changes online, and they are in our book “Kovels’ Know Your Collectibles.” A postal card is an early card called “pioneer” with no picture used from 1893 to 1898. A government-printed card had printed postage, a privately printed card required a stamp, and a divided-back card was used from 1907 to 1914. Photochrome cards were used after 1939. Collectors call them photographs, although many are lithographs with a shiny finish. Real photo cards were used since 1900. If you want to sound like an expert, refer to them as RPPC. Used cards can be dated by the amount of the postage stamp; the postmark; a two-digit postal code, used after 1943; and a five-digit ZIP code, used after 1963.

“Wie heese dei Hund, mei liewer Mann?”

(Originally published in the March 11, 1987 issue of The Shopping News)

DER HECH UN DER MECH

By Ernest Waldo Bechtel

Der Hech un der Mech, was sin sie dann?

Schpieler in re Baend un bloose en Hann?

Adder sin sie Bauer mit Hinkel un Vieh, Un melke der Gees im Schtall uff die Gnie?

Ken Bauer as schaffe draus uff em Feld.

Ken Schpieler as bloose fer yuscht mehner Geld. Ebbes schunscht is des, awwer ich wees net was.

Glei finn ich aus, noh kummt die Gschpass.

Im Schteddel, im Barig un noh im Land, Iwwer Schtee un Graas un grobber gehl Sand, Ich bin gloffe, un gloffe, gfrogt un gwunnert.

All deweil in meim Kopp hot’s mechdich gedunnert.

Noh sehn ich mei Nochber, an die Hund waar er bees.

Es Wedder waar windich un die Sunn arig hees.

Sei Hund hawwich iwwer un iwwer beguckt: Die Waahret waar am kumme, ya, graad wie gedruckt.

Hawwich den gfrogt in die Mitt vun seim Zann.

Saagt er schnell un scharif: “Ich saag der glei; Naeme wie des sedde gaar net sei!”

Er heest eener Hech, un der anner heest Mech. “Dummer,” saagt er, “as en alt Schtick Blech!”

Mich hot’s gwunnert fer hunnerde vun Schtund, As der Hech un der Mech sin yuscht zwee Hund!

HECH AND MECH

Hech and Mech, just what are they?

Players in a band and blow a horn?

Or are they farmers with chickens and cattle

And milk the goat in the stable?

No farmers that work out in the field.

No players who just play for money.

It’s something else, but what?

Soon I’ll find out, then comes the fun.

In town, on the hill and in the country, Over stones, grass and rough yellow sand, I walked and asked and questioned.

All the while my head was throbbing.

Then I see my neighbor, he was angry with his dogs. The weather was windy and the sun very hot.

I looked at his dogs again and again: The truth was emerging, yes, just as if in print.

“What are your dogs names?”

I asked him in his anger.

Said he sharply: “I’ll tell you quick; Such names there should not be!”

He calls one Hech and the other Mech. More stupid than an old piece of tin.

I pondered for hundreds of hours

That Hech and Mech are only two dogs! ***

This recent poem from the pen of Ernest Waldo Bechtel, “der Buschgnippel,” was written on November 7, 1986. It is based on the fact that a neighbor in anger named a set of dogs. The neighbor told Buschgnippel the names of the dogs, but Buschgnippel did not understand him too well, so he just used the nearest sounds ­ Hech and Mech!

We are honored this week to be able to share with you DER HECH UN DER MECH by Ernest Waldo Bechtel, our most gifted living dialect poet. We hope that the muses will continue to pester him, so that we’ll be printing more of his new poems from time to time.

Reamstown Park To Hold Benefit Fundraiser

Reamstown Park is hosting a benefit for the Hoffert family on Friday, May 17 at 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 18 at 8:00 a.m. In March 2023, Amanda and Bret Hoffert were on an ATV when they had a tragic accident. Unfortunately, Amanda passed away and Bret was in critical care. They have four young children.

The benefit will consist of a softball tournament, a raffle, food trucks, a beer garden and live music on Saturday, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Reamstown Park is located at 23 East Church Street, Reamstown. If you have any questions or would like to register for the softball tournament, call Kevin Bracken at 717­380­8192.

* “Technology can be really helpful, especially if you have very little storage area for papers. I had a trustworthy neighborhood teenager come over and help me scan in all my important documents. I have everything on flash drives and have given copies to appropriate people. She showed me how to scan a copy of warranty receipts so I can find the information I need quickly if I have an electronic item or appliance break down.” ­­ T.L. in Massachusetts

* Oranges are wonderful treats and full of delicious fiber and vitamin C. Save your peels and stash them in a net bag hanging from your rearview mirror for just a

day or two. As they dry, they give off the best smell.

* Need to take pills daily? Set a reminder on your cellphone. Most have alarm functions, and it works!

* “This tip is from my babysitter. She gives small children two ‘get out of bed free’ tickets at bedtime. If they get out of bed, say, for one last drink of water, etc. (we parents know these are stalling tactics),they have to give her a ticket. If they still have a ticket unused when they fall asleep, she will leave a prize with their parents for the morning.” ­M.J. in New Mexico

* “My friend and I found these great vintage spice bottles at a garage sale. We decided that since we got such a good deal, we would treat ourselves to a few new, interesting spices that were a little pricey ­­ and we went in half on them.” ­­ E.D. in Illinois

* What’s the best way to keep sheet sets together? Tuck all the pieces in a

matching pillowcase, of course.

* Need to hull strawberries? Try using a straw. You position the straw at the bottom of the strawberry, then push up toward the stem. It works quickly and well.

* If you mount a magnet strip in your bathroom or on your vanity, you can use it to hold bobby pins or metal barrettes. Or mount a ribbon to hold all kinds of hair clips.

* Baby leg protectors are cute. And cheap, if you have some old athletic socks. Cut off the ends, slip over baby’s legs, and watch cutie scoot across the floor.

* If your entertainment electronics have a clock that is too bright, cover it with plain tape. You will still be

able to read the time, but the tape will lessen the glare.

* My in­laws have a vaulted ceiling, and there is a corner that even the longesthandled duster won’t reach. My brilliant son had an idea to get down the cobwebs that had accumulated there. He used a rubber band to secure a dish towel around a tennis ball. Then he just tossed it at the area repeatedly. I can’t believe how well it worked.

* If new denims are too stiff, add half a cup of salt to your wash water along with the regular detergent.

* Use a muffin pan to make cookie cups for ice cream or fruit. Just flip your muffin pan over, and press dough over the upturned wells. It will puff up a little, but once it settles, they make

very nice bowls. I do this with pizza dough as well. Prebake for a few minutes to form the bowl, then fill with ingredients and complete baking.

* If you can put a tension rod in the cabinet under your sink, you can use it to hang spray bottles for extra storage. It’s amazing how much space clears up, and it’s easy to find the bottle you need.

* Got popcorn? For a healthier (and much less expensive) version, go oldschool: Put popping corn kernels in a regular brown paper bag, seal the bag, then microwave.

than you think. The first thing I prescribe is patience. The second thing I’d prescribe is persistence. You’ll want to gradually lengthen his walks. Each day, always at the same time, put Hunter on his leash and start the walk. As soon as Hunter begins to lag or tug forward, stop walking, adjust the distance so that he’s standing or sitting next to you, and start again, saying, “Heel” as you step forward. When he sits and won’t budge, encourage him to go a few more steps by giving him a very small treat. Then turn around and go home. On your next walk, repeat this encouragement, going just a little farther. See what I’m getting at? Make each walk just a tiny bit farther.

As Hunter loses weight, learns to trust you and gains confidence on the leash, he will eventually pull you along. Time, patience and consistency will do the trick.

Readers, how did you train an older dog? Tell me about it at ask@pawscorner. com.

Regarded As Holy

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Leviticus 10:3“By those who come near Me I will be regarded as holy, and before all the people I must be glorified.”

As we continue our theme of glorifying God before all the people, we will look at (Matthew 5:16) ­ “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” We have a tendency to hide our light instead of letting it shine

We want to put it under a bushel as verse fifteen states. We don’t want to do good works to be seen as the Pharisees did, but let them be seen. There is a big difference. Good works can open the door to a gospel presentation. Good works often will verify that we are legitimate. Don’t be ashamed of Christ. Christ

said in Mark 8:38, “For whosoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” The world hates Christ. Our Lord said, “because they hate Me they will hate you,” it’s part of the territory. We must count the cost of discipleship and persecution is certainly part of it. First Peter 4:14 says, “But if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.” Don’t hold back, let the light shine and be zealous for good works.

We also glorify God by bearing much fruit. John 15:8 states, “By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.” The last words Christ said before he left the earth was Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.” We are to be the

witness, God will do the convicting and saving. We plant the seed and water it, God gives the increase. Will someone be in heaven because you were a witness? Be bold; the devil is. The Great Commission is also one of the final commands to the disciples. “Go ye into all the world and make disciples, baptizing them and teach them to observe whatsoever I have commanded you.”

Be careful to always give God the glory in everything and be humble “I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to idols.” (Isaiah 42:8). Nebuchadnezzar failed to give the glory to God for his kingdom and all the beauty of Babylon, but in a dissertation of outrageous pride, tried to glorify himself as the scripture reveals when he said, “The King, saying, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?” And so, he was banished from his kingship and kingdom until God taught him a lesson. See

how his words are a little different with an attitude adjustment from God. “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to abase.” I think he learned his lesson. This is the whole point in reducing Gideon’s army to a mere 300 men against 135,000 Midianites. God declared He didn’t want Israel to say by their own hand they defeated the enemy, so He made the odds overwhelming.

And finally, we glorify God by praise in word and song making melody in your heart before God. Paul instructs, “Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:19). Remember when Moses came from communion with God on the mountain; his face glowed. Your heart may be big but no heart that holds fear, anxiety and depression has much room for a melody. Guard your heart!

One final thought: Revel­

Simple Tips To Help Homeowners Improve Their Home’s Curb Appeal

Men and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around.

A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a wellmaintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget.

• Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flowerbeds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting

in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye.

• Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult do­it­yourself project.

• Take to the trees. Many

homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that lowhanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home.

• Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage. Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your

property includes lots of trees, install guards to keep twigs and leaves out of the gutters.

• Make the home accessible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges, away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more modern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the realtor and buyers to immediately struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of

the home as smoothly as possible.

• Make sure all plants, including flowers, are living. Dehydrated or dead plants and flowers are eyesores, and they will give buyers the impression that you didn’t pay much attention to your property. Make sure all plants are alive and thriving and replace those that aren’t. You can replant new flowers or plants or just use potted plants instead. When purchasing new plants, choose low­maintenance varieties that appeal to buyers who want good vibrant plants but might not want to put in much work into the garden. When selling a home, homeowners can employ a number of tactics to improve their home’s curb appeal.
