East Cocalico Lions Club Held Annual Egg Hunt

For 86 years, the community of Reamstown in East Cocalico Township has been the site of a Community Egg Hunt. For most of those years, the East Cocalico Lions Club has been sponsoring this event, with the community helping by donating hard-boiled eggs, which the Lions collected when they went door to door the evening before the hunt. For various reasons, this event was in danger of being canceled this year. When the community heard about this, they reached out again to the club and offered their support and help, along with donations of plastic eggs, candy, food, and cash. With their help, 6,000 plastic eggs were stuffed with candy and gifts, areas for age groups were roped off, the eggs

were put in these areas and when the smoke cleared, 350 children from the ages of zero to twelve were very happy after picking up the eggs and receiving a free toy. Pictured here are many of the 350 children happily picking up and collecting their eggs.

The East Cocalico Lions

Club would like to express their sincere thanks to all the businesses, organizations and individuals in the community that made this year’s Egg Hunt a huge success.

Sponsoring events like this Annual Community Egg Hunt is just one of many ways that the East Cocalico Lions continue to make

Der Mischthaahne

By Ed Weber

Der Mischthaahne greht sei Gickeriegie

Alle Mariye der Bauer wecke frieh. Er is schtolz un schtreckt sei langer Hals aus; Es schallt darich Scheier un Hof un Haus.

Vun sei Mischthaufe-Naame schemmt er sich net; Um Welschhaahne un Pohaahne bekimmert er sich net. Grossfielich schteht er uff die Fens; Er is iwwer die Hinkel, Ende un Gens.

Er kann net singe wie en Canary, Awwer sell macht ihn net Contrary (iwwerzwarich).

Was Gott ihm gewwe hot zu duh, Dutt er gern un geht fleissich dazu.

Er hat gude Nei-ichkeide alle Mariye, En neier Daag fer sei Sach zu versariye. Er schtickt dazu, kannscht dich druff verlosse; Er hot die Hinkel net verdrosse.

Du heerscht ihn net grummle iwwer’s Wedder, Darich Balledix verliert er ken Fedder.

Er is net am schtreike fer meh Geld; Er hot es bescht Handwarick in de Welt.

Er grickt net die Lob as er hawwe sott, Sei Schproch un sei Schtimm is net was er wott. Es is doch viel besser un net naegscht so bloh, Des en Latt vun die Yacht uff em Radio.

Awwer so en Gschreib macht ken Verschtand Zu yunge Leit in unser Land.

En Mischthof! Vanne an die Scheier! So gebt’s nix meh bei unser Bauer.

Die Bauer halde ken Hinkel meh, So verfehle sie dem Haahne sei Gegreh.

Awwer hie un so darich unser Land

Sin Hinkelheiser - des is en Schand -

Wu vatzich dausend Hinkel neigehne, Die ihr Lewesland ken Haahne sehne. Die Mudder-Nadur geht ganz verlore, Des macht eem danke vun vergangne Yaahre.

En Mischthof mit Kieh un Geil un Oxe, Wu Hinkel un Haahne in Freiheit gratzeMisse mir die Mudderschprooch velleicht aa verliere? Fer des verhide will ich browiere.

So viel englische Wadde sin uffgewaxe, Ken Haahne kann sie in Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch gaxe: Unemployment Compensation un I.R.A., Medicare, Social Security un noch meh!

Mit so Wadde daed der Mischthaahne sich schemme! Er gratzt un er greht bis sie sei Lewe nemme.

The barnyard rooster crows his Gickeriegie/Every morning to wake the farmer early/He is proud and stretches his long neck out/It echoes through the barn and yard and house. - Of his manure pile name he is not ashamed/The turkey gobbler and peacock do not bother him/Proudly he stands on the fence/He is over the hens, the ducks and the geese. - He cannot sing like a canary/But that does not make him contrary/What God gave him to do/He does gladly and goes at it with ferver. - He has good news every morning/A new day to take care of his business/He sticks to it! You can depend on him/He never lets the chickens down. - You never hear him grumble over the weather/Over politics he loses no feather/He does not strike for more money/He has the best job in the world. - He does not get the credit he ought to have/His talk and his voice are not superb/Yet it is much better and not nearly as boring/As a lot of the noise on the radio. - But such writing does not make sense/To young folks in our land/A barnyard in front of the barn/You don’t see that anymore on the farm. - The average farmer does not keep chickens anymore/They miss the rooster’s crow/But here and there through the country/You see huge chicken houses! This is a shame. - Where 40,000 chickens are in prison/Who all their life never see a rooster/Mother nature is lost forever/This makes you think of bygone years. - A barnyard with cows, horses and oxen/Where hens and roosters scratch in freedom/Is there danger of us losing our mother tongue/I’m trying to prevent this. - There are so many new English words/No rooster can say them in Pennsylvania Dutch. - With words like these the barnyard rooster would be ashamed/He scratches and crows till they take his life/His meat is still good for the preacher to eat/ Let’s not forget the barnyard rooster! ***

Der Mischthaahne was mailed to us by our friend, “der Weisskopp vun Wisssedaal,” Ed Weber, on November 4, 1985. Ed writes that he is enjoying the contributions of Paul Horning, “the Bard of Bradenton” and Dave Hornberger,

A collection of “Deitsch Eck” columns

“der Professor Brodfresser.”

“Der Weisskopp vun Wissedaal” also mentioned that Helga Seel from Kaiserslautern in the Palatinate in West Germany had been to see him. Helga had been here several weeks last October gathering information for her paper on word order in Pennsylvania Dutch. Ed also mentioned the meal Helga, “die Minnie Schnaus,” “Der Buschgnippel” and “Bischli-Gnippli” had had in the new restaurant in the old “Wattshaus” building in “Druckne” (Fivepointville). “Der Buschgnippel” had written about the ride from Reinholds to Fivepointville and the meal in his column, “Weissheide un Dummheide,” which has been appearing in The Ephrata Review for the past 16 years.

The Noble Bereans

By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11).

Why did God call the Bereans noble? Why did He place them among the spiritual aristocracy of Paul’s day? Wherein lay their true greatness?

1. “They received the Word with all readiness of mind.”

2. “They searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

Let us put first things first.

THEY WERE OPENMINDED

They were broad as well as narrow. They were progressive as well as conservative. If they listened to Paul’s strange words with open eyes and open mouths, they at least listened with

open minds too. This is the first lesson we must learn from the noble Bereans. To really appreciate the spiritual greatness of these people, we must remember that they were Jews who met in a synagogue each Sabbath day. This was apparently the very first time that they had heard the gospel of grace proclaimed. It must all have seemed very strange and impossible to them but they were big enough to listen attentively and respectfully. They did not immediately shake their heads in refusal of the message and deem it unworthy of investigation.

It was not so at Thessalonica. There Paul reasoned out of the Scriptures for three Sabbath days with men

who were not willing to listen. The result was that “some” of them believed in comparison to “many” at Berea. And while only “some” of the Thessalonian Jews believed, we read that “a great multitude” of the Gentiles believed. The Gentiles had put God’s chosen people to shame.

Thessalonian bigotry not only kept them in spiritual darkness, but moved them to bitter opposition to the truth itself. After persecuting the apostles in their own city they even followed them to Berea to stir up the people against them. This was the natural result of their blind refusal of the apostle’s message. And why should they have acted so? Could

they not have given Paul a hearing? Did they not have Bibles too?

Perhaps we need this lesson. Bigotry among God’s people today will have the same effect as it had in that day. Let us never close our minds, to keep error out, for in doing so we will shut out new light as well, and close old errors in. Rather let us receive the words of men and subject them immediately to the Word of God.

And this brings us to the second element of Berean greatness.

THEY BELIEVED

GOD’S WORD ALONE

They were not gullible or credulous. They did not just

believe whatever they were told. They “received” Paul’s word, but they did not immediately believe it. They listened to him; they gave him an interested hearing, but did not immediately agree with him. First they had to search the Scriptures to see “whether those things were so.” Paul’s word was subjected to God’s Word. The word of man was tested by the Word of God. [Note: At this point in the article, many years later, Pastor Stam added these handwritten words in the margin: “Now all that Paul preached was not to be found in the Old Testament, for Paul had received a further revelation from the Lord. But it all fit right in with the Scriptures

they had. None of it was contrary to the Old Testament.”] How God must have rejoiced over this Bible-loving, Bible-honoring group! They, and not the popular leaders of the day, were the truly great ones in Israel.

Picture the scene: A husband comes home saying he has heard strange things in the synagogue from the lips of a visiting rabbi. Reaching for the sacred Scriptures, he begins an intensive search. The rest of that Sabbath day finds him buried in thought over the writings of the prophets. And not only that day, for he continues the search day after day. He hurries home from his daily work. He puts aside the less important things. Untiringly he searches on until he is sure he has the Truth of God.

And he is only one of many. This was the general attitude in Berea toward Paul’s message. “They searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” They were not willing to take his word for granted. They sifted his message carefully and put it to an intense investigation in the light of the Word of God.

Result? “Therefore many of them believed.”

And we may be sure that these Bereans were strong in the faith, for they had an intelligent understanding of the subject. They not only had the “full assurance of faith” (Heb. 10:22), but the “full assurance of understanding” (Col. 2:2). We need to be as the Bereans were.

The Role Of Certified Nursing Assistants

The nursing profession is vast and attracts an array o talented people. A career as a nursing assistant can be a rewarding path for those who want to get into the profession.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, health care jobs are expected to grow by 13 percent between 2021 and 2031, making a nursing career an attractive option.

What is a nursing assistant?

Why become a CNA?

Many people are drawn to becoming a CNA because the job presents a start in a career in health care. While some are content to remain CNAs for the duration of their careers, other CNAs use the position as a way to get on-the-job experience that can help them decide if they want to go further in the field of nursing. CNA certification does not require extensive education. On average, it takes between four to 10 weeks to complete the necessary coursework to become a certified nursing assistant.

Average day for a CNA

• Serve meals and help patients eat.

• Watch for changes in patients’ behaviors or worsening conditions.

• Reposition bedridden patients.

CNAs work in many different settings, including at hospitals or in residential nursing homes.

Salary and outlook

lining)?

• Library for Dogs –Community dogs are ready to enjoy a sunny walk with their owners. Please consider donating a stick or ball in the basket (along the front sidewalk) for these furry neighbors.

Opening for the Season • May 3rd

According to Premier Nursing Academy, a certified nursing assistant is an entry-level step into the medical field. A CNA is not a nurse, but these individuals will work very closely under the supervision of licensed nursing staff, physicians and other health care providers.

According to Indeed, a CNA can expect to perform these tasks on any given day.

• Administer medications to patients.

• Assist patients with activities of daily living.

• Bathe and dress patients.

• Check vital signs.

The BLS estimates that demand for certified nursing assistants will increase by 5 percent by 2031. Interested parties can expect to earn a median annual wage of $30,290. Should one want to go on to becoming a registered nurse, he or she can expect a salary of $77,600.

Certified nursing assistants play important roles in the medical field. CNAs hone their skills in facilities and can choose to stay put or go on to more advanced nursing careers.

Pursuing Various Careers In Nursing

The field of nursing is vast. While providing medical assistance and support to patients is at the heart of any nursing career, the road to becoming a nurse varies.

There are many pathways to becoming a nurse, and each requires a specific amount of education, training and testing. Here’s a deep dive into the various

professional degrees associated with nursing, courtesy of NurseJournal.org and Nurse.org.

Certified Nursing Assistant

A certified nursing assistant is how many people first enter the field of nursing. CNAs are not nurses, but they help nurses provide medical care. Becoming a CNA requires completion of a program that can last 12 weeks, a CNA certification exam and state (provincial) licensing.

Licensed Vocational or Practical Nurse

To become an LVN or

LPN, individuals must finish a one-year program to receive a diploma, and pass the NCLEX-PN licensing exam. State or provincial licensing also is required.

Registered Nurse

Prospective registered nurses can take two different paths. They can opt to get an associate’s degree in nursing (ADN), which involves a two- to three-year program. After completion of that program, candidates must pass the NCLEX-RN exam. Aspiring RNs also can pursue four-year degrees and earn

a bachelor’s of science in nursing (BSN). They must then pass the NCLEX-RN exam. Those enrolled in associate’s or bachelor’s programs can expect to take an array of classes, some of which may include Nursing Care for Elder Adults and Mental and Behavioral Health Nursing. There is evidence that patient outcomes may be improved under the care of BSN-prepared nurses,

according to the American Association of Colleges and Nurses. As a result, many hospitals prefer BSNprepared applicants. Those with a BSN also may be able to advance to leadership and administrative roles more easily.

Advanced Practice

Registered Nurse

Prospective APRNs will need a master’s of science in nursing to pursue this

career path. This involves a post-graduate program that will require in-person clinical hours and a passing grade in a certification exam in the area of specialization. Others go further to obtain a doctorate of nursing practice degree, which is a bit more involved. APRNs can enjoy careers as Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse

Managing Stress

Working in the healthcare sector can be a fast-paced job filled with days characterized by extremes. Nurses already were working long, variable shifts in hectic environments before COVID-19 came along. Then they were asked to do even more, including being tasked with the care of a

Zerbe Retirement Community would like to thank our entire

seemingly endless stream of new patients.

The nursing education and program resource Nurse

Journal says stress may be one of the most overlooked issues affecting nurses and nursing students today. Stress can affect nurses’ personal and professional lives. Continuing to explore ways for nurses to alleviate stress means more positive outcomes for all involved. Here are some strategies.

Increase Staff

Worker shortages can take their toll on nurses who have to work even harder due to those deficits. Whenever possible, healthcare offices and departments should make every effort to keep sufficient qualified staff on hand so that nurses do not feel overly taxed.

Take Quiet Breaks

Taking ample opportunity to retreat to quiet spaces and turn off your brain for some time can help you recharge during a shift. While resting, drink water and limit caffeine consumption.

Try Aromatherapy

Using scented oils or other aromatherapy techniques may help induce a calmer atmosphere.

Find A Shift You Can Manage

By working the same shift hours, your body can grow accustomed to the schedule, rather than facing exhaustion from ever-changing shifts. A routine can reduce anxiety.

Keep A Journal

2499 Zerbe Road, Narvon, PA 17555 717-445-4551

Keep a list of days when you’re feeling especially overwhelmed and jot down what led to that feeling. Identifying particular stressors can help you find effective coping strategies.

Pathways Homeschool Students Hold Mock Debate Event

Thirty high school students from Pathways Homeschool participated in a debate that is actually coming before the public this summer. Three groups argued pro­introduction, and three argued anti­introduction of the American

Marten to the state of Pennsylvania. It was a close vote with three judges who voted pro, and two against. This was a culminating interdisciplinary activity for a speech and communications class and environmental science.

This is a real issue in Pennsylvania. The PA Game Commission has conducted feasibility studies, and will have public hearings this summer. A decision will be made in the fall. The event judges included Greg Graham (Game Commission

Officer); Phil Hess (most recently held the position of President of WellSpan Philhaven and Senior Vice President of the WellSpan Health System, retired); Priscilla Eberly (Chief of Staff for Representative Dave Zimmerman); Lou

Ann Miller (educator, GSHS teacher, principal at McCaskey East and Assistant superintendent at Octorara, retired); and Bob Wenger (founding member of Pathways). The

soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into the side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it. -- Y.P. in Illinois

* Nylon stocking strips are great and work really well in the garden. If you have a pair that has a run, chop them up into pieces. You can use them to tie up staked plants, as they are

strong but gentle enough to not cause any harm. E.S. in Wisconsin

* Reduce your energy costs of drying clothes by hanging heavy items (think towels, throw blankets, jeans, sweats) for a few hours to air dry before popping them in the dryer. You can cut the drying time by as much as two­thirds, and still get that tumbledried softness. M.N. in Missouri

Bromirski

Ephrata High School

Ryan Bromirski

Senior

Ephrata basketball and baseball star Ryan Bromirski is excited to finish his final year of high school before moving on to West Chester University to pursue a degree in education.

Son of Rae and Richard Bromirski, Ryan says his greatest accomplishment is committing to West Chester University; but he acknowledges his brother, whom he admires most, helped him get to where he is today. Concerning his brother, Bromirski says, “He was my main mentor throughout the years. He understands me most because he is close to my age.”

What does Bromirski like most about school? His friends. He admits that, while he enjoys his Micro-Economics class with Mr. Hagen, the benefit of the class is being with his friends.

Another reason Bromirski enjoys school is because of his school sports and activities. Along with his avid participation in basketball and baseball, Bromirski is involved with clubs such as Leo Club and National Honors Society.

When he is not in school or participating in his extracurricular activities, Bromirski enjoys lifting weights, hanging out with friends, and competing in any sport he can.

Another important fact about Bromirski is his appreciation for nature and animals. He admits that if he could make any change in the world today it would be to restrict experiments that deteriorate nature and animals. Bromirski loves all animals, but dogs are his favorite.

While Bromirski will miss his friends, his activities, and the memories from Ephrata High School, he is excited to experience all of the new memories and friends he will gain from his education at West Chester University.

Drew Hoover

7th Grade

Drew Hoover, a 7th grade student at Lititz Area Mennonite School, has been selected for May’s Student Spotlight. Drew is on the academic honor roll and is a helpful, generous person who enjoys playing sports and listening to music. Drew’s favorite subject in school is social studies because he enjoys learning about ancient history.

Drew likes being a student at Lititz Area Mennonite School because of all the different activities and events such as track and field day and various electives such as woodshop, debate, and ping-pong etc. Drew’s favorite LAMS memory is going to Washington D.C. for a field trip in 6th grade.

Drew Hoover attends Millway Mennonite Church and believes that God sent his son to forgive us of our sins. Drew’s favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 40: 31, which says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” He likes this verse because it talks about how, if you believe in God, then he will renew your strength, and you will one day go to heaven.

If Drew could live anywhere in the world, he would want to live in Montana because he likes the woods, and he likes to hunt and fish. If Drew could change anything about the world he would change world poverty. He thinks this change would be positive because then people wouldn’t be suffering and in need.
