DES WEIBSMENSCH IN DER SCHPIGGEL
By Gladys S. Martin
Wer is des Weibsmensch as ich seh
Do in mei Schpiggel ganz allee?
Sie guckt so fremm alt zu mich, Was dutt sie do in meiner Kich?
Des Bild as ich aablick datt drin
Guckt net wie’s Bild in meiner Sinn. Oh, wu is sell yung Maedel dann, As ich sie nimmi sehne kann?
Des Maedel in der Schpiggel waar Als yung un dinn, mit dunkle Haar. Ich hab sie vielmols gsehne datt, Was is nau letz, is sie ganz fatt?
Ferwas schteht heit en alde Fraa, Wu geschder en yung Maedel waar?
Des alt Weibsmensch verschtaunt mich so, Denkscht sie is nau fer ewich do?
Ich kann des Ding gaar net verschteh, Ich guck sie aa un saag, “Oh, nee!”
Was will des alt Ding in mei Haus?
Ich lock der Hund un yaag sie naus!
Sie guckt yo gaar net wie sie sett, Ihre Haut is runslich as en Gwetsch. Ihre Haar sin groh un schtruwwlich aa; Wer is dann die do alde Fraa?
Wann ich mei Aage hatt zu-drick, Kummt sell yung Maedel widder zerick? Fer mit mei Aage zu, kann ich Sell Maedel sahne as guckt wie mich!
Awwer wann ich widder guck, so gaar, Datt schteht die alt Fraa, wie davor!
Sie guckt mich aa, as wann sie heit
Viel Sach as sie mich saage wett.
Ich muss sie dauere, fer ich seh, As ich sie net gleich, des dutt sie weh.
Ich seh en Draen dann in ihr Aag; Ich butz es weck fer sie, wann ich maag.
Sie guckt so draurich datt allee, Des Weibsmensch as ich so glaar seh.
Ich denk ich muss sie en Heemet gewwe, Do in mei Schpiggel, in mei Haus ewee.
THE WOMAN IN THE MIRROR
Who is this woman that I see
Here in my mirror quite alone?
She looks to strange and old to me, What’s she doing here in my kitchen?
The image that I behold in there
Does not look like the image in my mind. Oh, where is that young girl
That I can no longer see her?
This girl in the mirror used to be Young and thin, with dark hair. I often saw her there, What is wrong now, has she gone away?
Why does an old woman stand there today, Where a young girl was yesterday?
This old woman astonishes me so, Do you think she’s now here to stay?
I cannot understand this at all, I look at her and say, “Oh, no!” What does this old thing want in my house?
I’ll call the dog and chase her out!
She does not look at all like she should, Her skin is as wrinkled as a prune. Her hair is grey and disheveled too; Who then is this old woman?
If I close my eyes tightly, Will the young girl return?
For with my eyes closed I can
See that girl that looks like me.
But when I look again, would you believe, There stands that old woman as before!
She looks at me as though she had today Much she would like to tell me.
I must pity her, for I see, The fact that I don’t like her causes her pain. I see a tear there in her eye; I’ll wipe it away for her, if I may.
She looks so sad there alone, This woman that I clearly see.
I guess I must give her a home, Here in my mirror, yes, in my house. ***
In the latter part of April, Gladys S. Martin of Glenwood Drive in Ephrata mailed us two poems, DIE FAREWICH WELT, which you read last week, and DES WEIBSMENSCH IN DER SCHPIGGEL, which appears above. As you have observed the two poems are quite different from each other. DIE FAREWICH WELT looks outward into the world of nature and DES WEIBSMENSCH IN DER SCHPIGGEL is introspective and examines the matter of growing visibly older. We suspect that most of our older (Was is alt?) readers are just as young in heart as they were 30, 40 or 50 years ago. (We sometimes imagine that we’re younger in here than some of our twenty-year-old students. Sie hen net viel Erfaahring im Lewe.)
We consider DES WEIBSMENSCH IN DER SCHPIGGEL one of the most beautiful poems which has ever gone through our WADDEFRESSER. It could only have been written by someone who has gained the perspective which comes with middle age. At the same time it contains an element of humor which prevents it from being too serious. A real Dutchman or woman sees full well the darker side of life, but he or she always has a twinkle in the eye…weil mir immer der Glaawe un die Hoffning hen. Gladys, we salute you! You have brought color and reflection into our lives!

Fall Harvest Fruits And Vegetables
Food is a big part of fall, and farms play a significant role in seasonal celebrations. Each fall, families plan apple picking excursions with their eyes on baking homemade apple pies. And while Halloween is made even more fun when carving jack-o’-lanterns, savvy celebrants know that carving sessions are not complete

without some roasted pumpkin seeds.
The fall harvest is a great time to indulge in some freshly picked healthy foods. While the picking season may vary depending on where you live, and specifically the climate in your region, the following are some fruits and vegetables that might be ripe for the picking this fall.
• Apples: Apple-picking season typically begins in late summer and extends
into fall. Many farms offer a variety of apples, which may be harvested at different times. For example, in the northeastern United States, Gala apples tend to be harvested in late summer, while Granny Smith apples may be best picked in early October.
• Beets: The Spruce: Eats notes that beets may be in season in temperate climates from fall through spring.
• Broccoli: Fresh broccoli makes a healthy addition to any dinner table, and Pickyourown.org notes that broccoli can have a lengthy harvesting season. Early harvesting may begin in May in some regions, though it’s still possible to pick
fresh broccoli in late October. If you want to pick fresh broccoli, The Old Farmer’s Almanac recommends doing so in the morning when the buds of the head are firm and tight.
• Cabbage: If you’re looking to do some late fall picking, cabbage might be for you. The online resource Harvest to Table notes that cabbage can survive under snow without being harmed, making it an ideal late fall vegetable. Spoiled outer leaves can be pulled away after harvesting without affecting the quality of the remaining cabbage.
• Peaches: People who can’t wait to whip up a peach cobbler may need to do so
before fall even begins. According to Pickyourown. org, peaches can be ready for picking as early as July in the northeastern United States, and the picking season generally ends around mid-September. The season is even earlier in places like Georgia, a state known for its peaches where the picking season can begin in mid-May and extend through early August depending on the variety.
• Pumpkins: Thanks in part to Halloween decor and the popularity of pumpkin pie as a Thanksgiving dessert, pumpkins are synonymous with the fall harvest. And pumpkin picking season aligns perfectly with each of these holidays, typically beginning in early or midSeptember and extending deep into October.
Fall is a great time of year to pick fresh fruits and vegetables at a local farm.
5 Fun Facts About The Month Of September
September marks a return to the norm for millions of households. School is back in session, summer vacation season has ended and fall begins. Routines take shape and life once again becomes more structured in September. As that transition takes place, individuals can consider these fun facts about the month of September.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan often jokes that camping is a tradition in his wife’s family, but he’s what people would consider “indoorsy.”
Gaffigan notes that the idea of burning a couple of vacation days sleeping on the ground outside isn’t his idea of fun. But the comic may be in the minority.
Camping is one of the most popular outdoor recreational activities in North America. The statistics resource Statistica says the revenue of campgrounds and RV parks was estimated at $5.8 billion in 2015. More than $2.5 billion was relegated to camping equipment spending. In Canada, National Park attendance is typically indicative of camping stays. Parks Canada said there was a 4 percent increase in overall visitation between 2009 and 2014.

to trails tend to book up early. Also, consider proximity to bathrooms, showers and ingress/egress spots. People who desire solitude will pick different campsites than those who want to be near the family action.
• Choose a tent for the weather. Supplies will differ depending on the temperatures when you plan to camp. Select a tent with a sun-protection sealant to prolong its longevity. Opt for a location with partial afternoon shade to keep the campsite and tent cool. Face the tent door into the wind for a breeze (and also to keep mosquitoes from camping alongside you). Speak with a camping supply retailer about your camping needs.
berries and high-fiber trail mixes also can keep energy levels up.
• Invest in an insulating pad. A good insulating pad will keep you comfortable when sleeping on the ground. Such a pad also will serve as an extra moisture barrier and will help keep you warm or cool.
• Use the moon. If this is your first time camping, schedule the night out to coincide with a full moon. There will be extra light at night to chase away any fears and make navigating a bit easier.
• Be an early bird. To see wildlife, hit the trails as early as possible. Early morning hours also are cooler for working.
Camping takes many forms. Some purists equate camping to minimalist survival — eking out an existence for a few days with nothing more than a tent, a single roll of toilet paper and a fishing pole. Others enjoy the creature comforts of home and would readily consider camping something done from their climate controlled RV.

2. Though the autumnal equinox, which marks the official beginning of fall, does not occur until later in the month, the unofficial end to summer occurs in the first weekend of September.
FUN FALL GUIDE
Americans celebrate Labor Day and Canadians celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday in September, and millions of people in both countries consider that weekend the last hurrah for summer relaxation and revelry.
3. Labor Day is not the only holiday to be celebrated in September. In fact, Rosh Hashanah, a Jewish holiday that is often referred to as the “Jewish New Year,” also is celebrated in September in many years (the holiday
occurs 163 days after the first day of Passover, so in certain years it is celebrated in early October).The Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur also can be celebrated in September or October, and Constitution Day, which commemorates the adoption of the United States constitution in 1787, is celebrated on September 17. Patriot Day also occurs annually on September 11 and is a day to remember the people who died in the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.
4. Though its name might suggest otherwise, Oktoberfest actually begins in late September. Modern Oktoberfest celebrations, particularly those outside the Bavaria region of Germany, may have little to do with a marriage, but the festival traces its origins to the marriage of Kronprinz Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810. Citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities, and more than two centuries
later that jovial atmosphere dominates the city, and countless others across the globe, during Oktoberfest.
5. Football fans circle the month of September on their calendars, as the month marks the return of the National Football League regular season. The reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs will host the Detroit Lions in the NFL Kickoff Game on September 7, and the rest of the league will take to the gridiron on September 10 and 11. That’s a big deal for millions of fans across the country, as the NFL remains wildly popular. In fact, an analysis by the Sports Business Journal found that per-game attendance averaged 69,442 fans in 2022, which marked the second-largest figure in 19 years.
How To Spend A Great Day At The Zoo
Zoos, aquariums and wildlife centers offer visitors the opportunity to view exotic animals without having to venture too far from home. Zoos are great places to enjoy a full day of seeing wildlife and enjoying an extraordinary environment. Children certainly marvel at the sights at zoos, but animals can be equally thrilling for adults.
Planning a zoo visit in advance can ensure visitors make the most of their trip, and these strategies can help elevate any zoo visit.
• Choose the right day. Zoos are less likely to be crowded on weekdays. If
By Ryan A. Berenz
possible, take a day off from work or school to visit the zoo early in the week. Things may get busier as the weekend nears.
• Time it right. On warm days, a zoo can be uncomfortable during the peak heat of the afternoon. Arrive very early or later in the afternoon when the sun is not beating down; otherwise, think of going on an overcast or slightly misty day when attendance figures to be low and temperatures may be more manageable.
• Research nearby zoos. Conduct some online research to find a zoo featuring animals everyone wants to see. Some may specialize in certain habitats. For example, many people flock to Zoo Atlanta to see the Panamanian Golden Frog, which is rarely seen elsewhere in the world, if at all.
• Buy tickets in advance. Instead of wasting precious time waiting in line for tickets, buy them in advance and then sail through the entryway. You may even get a discount for buying early. Some zoos also offer memberships so allow to visit many times at a lower price than standard entry.
• Pack healthy snacks and drinks (if allowed). Zoo visits tend to be day-long affairs, so you’ll want to stay hydrated and well fed. Lines can be long at zoo restaurants or snack carts, so having a few things on hand can make all the difference. Keep in mind some facilities do not allow outside food or beverages, so check policies prior to arriving.
• Utilize the lockers. If the zoo has lockers, stash extra items inside so you’re not bogged down with stuff. This is especially helpful when traveling with young children.
• Plan the visit around the best attraction. Visit the exhibit you really want to see first. This way if time gets away from you or if everyone tires, you will not have missed it.
Zoo are entertaining places to spend a day. Some previsit planning can make such days even better.
Apple picking is a beloved autumn tradition. Apple picking season tends to begin in mid- to late-September and ends sometime in early October. Individuals interested in apple picking this fall can take heed of these tips to ensure their trip is fun, safe and successful.
• Check operating hours. Apple picking is a popular activity, so expect a crowd on a typical autumn weekend. If the farm is open several days per week, some days may be less busy and you may be able to schedule your trip when foot traffic is lighter.
• Choose firm apples without bruises. According to Pickyourown.org, apples should be crisp and firm. Don’t worry about the color of the apple, as color is not an indicator of ripeness. Instead, Pickyourown.org advises people to ask the farmers which apples are ripe, which is determined by how long it’s been since the trees flowered.
• Gently place picked apples into your basket. Pickyourown.org recommends gently placing apples into your basket

after picking them. Tossing them into the basket may cause bruising, which can lead to the apples spoiling prematurely. While it depends on the variety, many apples that are not bruised tend to last a long time, especially when stored in a cool place. So taking care of them when picking them can mean you get to enjoy apples for several weeks.

eating them. The FDA advises consumers to wash their hands for 20 seconds with warm water and soap before and after preparing fresh produce. Produce should be rinsed before it’s peeled so any lingering dirt and bacteria are not transferred from the knife onto the fruit or vegetable.
If bruising has occurred, cut away the damaged or bruised areas before preparing or eating it.
Apple picking is a beloved autumn tradition that can be even more fun when employing a few strategies designed to make it more fruitful.

20/20 Vision
Author: Wenger
Scripture: Job 42:5, 6 - “I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear; but now my eyes see you. Therefore, I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
No one has ever gone through the trials and tribulations of Job save the Lord Jesus Christ. So, whenever we feel overwhelmed with our trials, it would be good to read eight verses in chapter 1 and four verses in chapter 2 of Job. When we read the account, we realize that Job lost everything in about 45 seconds; his servants, his livestock, and all of his children. If that isn’t enough, when Satan’s first plan didn’t work, seeing
that Job did NOT curse God when he lost it all, as Satan said he would, God gave Satan power to afflict his physical body. We read in Job 2:7-10, “Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” I can’t even imagine the pain Job must have suffered. If you have ever had blisters on you hand or foot and had them break open, the skin is so tender, even the slightest touch is painful. Imagine these covering your entire body. “And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes. Then his wife said to him, ‘Do you still hold to your integrity? Curse God and die!’” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. When Job says, “I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear; but now I see you.” He is contrasting the difference between perception from the ear gate (hearing only) and the eye gate (actual vision). He is essentially saying that before his suffering, he knew God, but because of his suffering, he now intimately knows, walks with and sees God. Think of the difference between someone describing their trip to Alaska in conversation, and showing videos on a large screen TV of the trip. That is the difference in Job’s under-
standing and relationship with God before his suffering and after his suffering.
Almost all of the Old Testament prophets suffered; just a quick look at Hebrews 11:36-38 catalogues it. “And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea moreover of bonds and imprisonment; they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, and were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being
destitute, afflicted, tormented: Of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts, and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.”
New Testament Apostles and believers didn’t find it any different from their forerunners. Paul is a good example of what happens when you sell out to God’s purpose. We are never guaranteed everything will be fine as a believer; quite the opposite is often the case. “Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and
exposure” (2 Corinthians 11:24-27). I think we can see a pattern here.
David said in Psalm 119:67, “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word.” In David’s case, affliction motivated him to obedience. God uses suffering in many ways and for various purposes as well. Some suffering is the very purpose of God, as was Job’s case. Job was never told why these calamities came upon him, not even after it ended. Some suffering is just because we live in a fallen world. As Rick Warren says, “Everything in this world is broken.” It’s because sin entered the world. Sin has consequences. Some suffering is because of our conduct. We bring it upon ourselves because we will not submit to God and His purpose. It’s just the result of bad decisions. Some suffering is because of righteousness. All who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3:12-17).
We will continue our study next week.

“Pieces From The Past” - Featuring The New Holland Historical Society
Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese
This week’s “Pieces From The Past” features the New Holland Historical Society. In this “Pieces From The Past Article,” Shopping News readers will learn about a local item housed in the New Holland Historical Society.
The earliest broadside printed by the Clarion, and on display at the New Holland Area Historical Society Museum, is the 1874 contract proposals to build the new school. The local school board chose the new building’s location in the middle of town in the neighborhood once known as Jonestown (this lot is now the northeast corner of Main Street and Roberts Avenue). During most of the 19th century, there was a cluster of houses in this part of town that were owned by Joseph Jones. Before moving to New Holland, Jones was a saddler in Philadelphia who made the saddle for George Washington that was used during his term as POTUS. Joseph, who became blind in his old age, and his two daughters, Jane and Hannah, lived in a two-story brick house on the same site as where the school was built. In the 1820s, Hannah accepted a proposal of marriage from a young man, but Joseph refused to give his permission. Hannah was broken-hearted and never recovered. Her sister, Jane, took care of her for the rest of her life. Jane died in the 1880s, and Hannah died
in the Lancaster Insane Asylum within several months.
The Jones house was razed in 1874, and the foundation for the school was completed by Isaac M. Brubaker. For a fee of $137, he shoveled out a 54 by 54 feet hole that was 4½ feet deep. The school was completed in 1875, and there were additions made in 1914, 1924, 1938 and 1962. The ELANCO School District sold the property in 2003 and the building was torn down two years later.

During the change of command ceremony on Monday, August 5, the squadron conducted the formal transfer of command from outgoing Cadet Commander, Cadet Major Slater Shannon, to Cadet Captain Acosta, who will now lead the unit.

The Lancaster Jesse Jones Squadron 304 looks forward to Captain Acosta’s leadership and anticipates exciting new developments under his guidance. As the squadron embarks on a new chapter, it remains dedicated to its mission of instilling values of integrity, teamwork, and service in its cadets.
