E.A.S.S. Thanks Longtime Volunteer

Ephrata Area Social Services (E.A.S.S.) would like to thank longtime volunteer Nedra Bearinger for her commitment to Meals on Wheels, Ephrata and Cocalico region. Nedra retired from work in 2003 as an Accountant and Office Manager. In 2004, she joined Meals on Wheels Ephrata and Cocalico as a cook at St. John’s U.C.C. in Denver. For nearly 20 years, Nedra has served the community, but due to medical reasons, she is not able to volunteer anymore.

Nedra stated what she loved most about volunteering is “giving back to people in her community.” Nedra hopes that through her service of volunteering, she inspires others to start giving back to the community too.

E.A.S.S. would like to extend its sincere thank you to Nedra for the time, energy, and love she had poured into volunteering. Volunteers like Nedra make all the difference in the

Beddler Schtories

Hannbariyer

Do sin en paar Beddler Schtories as ich aus gfunne hab vun mei Mamm un mei Freindschaft. Weescht, wu ich en Bu waar, sin mir in Stevens gelebt. Do waar die P & R Riggelweg darich gange. Etliche Kalls vun Deitschland sin niwwer kumme, as der Kaiser Bill enlischt hot fer druff waarde. Sie sin kumme fer aus em Grieg bleiwe. Not wie der Grieg verbei waar, sin sie in unser Land gebliwwe. Sie hen etliche Handwarick Sache geduh fer die Leit - wie der Thompson un sei Fraa.

Er waar en Bumberschuut Fixer. Sie hen en glee Hundli ghadde mit en rot Band uff seim Hals. Thompson hot en glee Derby Hut gwore un en langer Schwanz-rock un en rot Halsband. Sie Fraa hot en Schtrump-hut un so viel Gleeder gwore sie hot so breed as lang geguckt. Thompson un sie Fraa sin als in meim Onkel Jim sei Fuudergang gschlofe, not gesse unnich die Vorbauer. Sie sin uff en aldi Bank ghockt fer esse. Nau, glaab mich, des waar en Pickder fer aagucke!

Ee Nacht sin sie rei kumme fer ihre Nachtesse. Sie hen ihre Hend un Gsichder gebutzt im Wasserdroog. Not hen sie en Bett gmacht im Fuudergang.

Mariyets frieh waar en Bump uff die Dier. Der Jim is uffgschtanne un do waar dem Thompson sie Fraa gschdanne un waar sie bees! Gflucht hot sie un ihre Fauscht in die Heh gschmisse. Not saagt der Jim, “Seddel dich un saag mir was letz is.” “Wei,” saagt sie, “die Kuh hot eens vun mei Unnerreck gfresse. Ich hab siwwe ghadde wu ich ins Bett gange bin. Nau sin yuscht sechse meh do!”

Mei Mudder hot geglaabt mir misse ausgucke fer die Leit. Sie hot als en Saag vun die Biewel gyuust fer ihre Glaawe ennehre: “Ebmohls bsuche Engel uns unwese.” So schier alli Daag hot sie Kumpnie ghadde fer en Beiss zu esse un en Koppli Kaffe un ebmohls Gleeder.

So ee Daag is sie an en Vendu gange un hot en wunderbaar schee rot Schwedder kaaft fer der “Joe,” eens vun ihre Beddler Freind. Sie hot gsaat, des Schwedder behalt ihm waarm der Winder un macht ihm gut gucke. Negscht Schpotyaar is er kumme fer Nachtesse. Die Memm hot der “Joe” der Schwedder gewwe. Not hot der “Joe” gsaat, “Nee, ich kann des net aaduh. Rot bekummt mich net!”

Beggar Tales

Here are a few Beggar Tales that I learned from my mother and my family. You know, when I was a boy, we lived near Stevens. The P & R Railroad passed through the town. A number of fellows from Germany came over here that Kaiser Wilhelm wanted to enlist for service in the German army. They came to America to avoid wartime service. Then when the war was over, they remained in our country. They served our people with various trades - such as Thompson and his wife.

He was an umbrella mender. They had a small dog with a red ribbon around his neck. Thompson wore a small derby hat and a long tailcoat and a red tie. His wife wore a sun bonnet and so much clothing that she appeared to be as broad as she was long. Thompson and his wife used to sleep in my Uncle Jim’s feed-entry and eat under the forebay of

the barn. They sat on an old bench to eat. Believe me, this was a picture to behold!

One evening they came in for their supper. They washed their hands and faces in the water trough. Then they made their bed in the feed-entry.

Early in the morning there was a bump on the door. Jim got up and there Mrs. Thompson stood and was very angry! She swore and threw her fists in the air. Then Jim said, “Settle yourself and tell me what is wrong.” - “Why,” said she, “your cow ate one of my petticoats. I had seven when I went to bed. Now there are only six left!”

***

My mother was of the opinion that one had to be concerned for these folks. She used a saying from the Bible to support her belief: “Sometimes angels visit us in unknown form.” So almost every day she had (beggar) company for a bite to eat and a cup of coffee and sometimes (she provided them with) clothes.

So one day she went to an auction and bought a beautiful red sweater for “Joe,” one of her beggar friends. She said, this sweater would keep him warm in winter and would be attractive on him. The next fall he came for supper. Mom gave the sweater to “Joe.” Then “Joe” said, “No, I can’t put it on. I don’t look good in red!”

***

This week we feature the first two episodes in a series of beggar tales from the pen of Dave Hornberger of “Keenich Schtrooss” in “Effredaa.” Shortly after Dave’s poem Daheem Uff Die Alt Bauerei reached us in February, we had a delightful chat on the telephone. In that conversation, Dave recalled his memories of the tramps (as we called them in English) who used to frequent these parts. Needless to say, we encouraged Dave to send us these tales, so that we might share them with you. Dave responded promptly and before the end of February we were able to get this column into the hopper.

So, tune in next week for the next beggar tales from the pen of Dave Hornberger.

Dave, we salute you, and hope that others will follow your splendid example of recalling in writing in Deitsch memories of yesteryear.

To Update Your Wardrobe This Season

An individual’s appear ance can speak volumes. For many, that underscores the importance of having a wardrobe that presents the image they want to project.

Unless you have unlimited funds, the process of curating a wardrobe can take time. Life brings with it many expenses, but it’s possible to update your wardrobe each season without breaking the bank. Check out these seven money-saving suggestions before visiting retailers.

1. Investigate your closet (and others’)

Take stock of what’s already in your closet and drawers. You may forget

what you have, particularly if you pack away seasonal items. In addition, check with roommates or family members to see if they have any pieces they don’t use or would like to swap. This keeps everyone looking fresh.

2. Turn pants into shorts or capris

Who hasn’t had the dryer shrink an item that once fit?

Over time, the hemline on a dress may creep up or pants just don’t hit at the right spot on the ankle any longer.

Rather than wasting an item, with some minor tailoring you can transform pants into shorts or capris and transform long dresses into short ones.

3. Invest in basics

Keep a cheat sheet in your pocket or purse when shopping so you can pick up items when they are on discount. Staples to stock a wardrobe include a basic black dress, classic black

dress pants, white dress shirt, A-line skirt in a neutral color, any occasion tops, and well-fitting darker wash jeans. For men, basics include slacks and blazers or a well-fitting suit, dress shirts in a few neutral colors,

casual khaki slacks, wellfitting jeans, and casual polo shirts.

4. Set your budget and shopping plan

Some people like to establish monthly shopping budgets, while others updating their wardrobes prefer to shop seasonally. Figure out how much you can devote to new clothes (after taking inventory of current items) and stick to that amount. If you’re a person who has difficulty saying “no” when shopping, shop with cash instead of card. When your funds are depleted, exit the store.

5. Shop from the back Sale and clearance racks tend to be at the back of department stores and other retailers. Start there to grab some pieces before working your way forward to where the newer, more costly items are displayed.

6. Stick to a neutral color palette

It’s easier to mix and match newer items with pieces you already have if the colors blend. If you want to add pops of color, do so with accessories such as belts, ties, purses, or jewelry.

7. Shop thrift sales or consignment

Just because it’s used doesn’t make durable clothing any less valuable. Thrift and consignment stores sell products at very low cost. Some places even have days during the week when ticketed items are slashed in price even further. Thrift and consignments stores also are great places to find unique pieces.

Updating a wardrobe doesn’t have to break the bank. Some simple strat egies can ensure anyone looks their best and has money to spare.

Resale

Selecting The Right Pieces When Furnishing Your Dining Area

Modern homes look a bit different than those of generations past. Rather than several small rooms divided by walls, modern homes offer open-concept floor plans. That means the boundaries between spaces are not so defined, allowing rooms and activities to blend into one another.

Formal dining rooms may or may not be part of the current home layout with regard to new construction. Many homeowners now gravitate toward kitchens with adjacent breakfast nooks that utilize large islands with stool seating that open up to family rooms. These layouts can make it more challenging for homeowners to figure out how to furnish their dining areas — casual or formal. Individuals can use these tips as a springboard for selecting the right pieces in their homes, no matter where they enjoy their meals.

And Answer

Q. What should a consumer look for when shopping resale?

Look for quality of workmanship and materials. A quality item might cost more at resale than an inferior item does new, but the workmanship, style, and value of any well-made item, from a sofa to a designer outfit, provides more value at resale.

Know the retail prices of items you are shopping for to appreciate how much money you will save by shopping resale.

Explore a variety of resale shops to find several that will become your favorites. Each shop is unique, and so is their merchandise.

Get to know the staff, sign their mailing list to receive sale notices, customer only premiums, and valuable information sent out in their flyers or newsletters.

Check all items carefully and know the store’s return policies before purchasing.

Consider the scope of the room

Is it a dining room or a dining area? This will help determine decor and the formality of the pieces of furniture needed to outfit the room. If the room is a multipurpose space, consider furniture that can serve different purposes, such as a table that has fold-down portions to change its size depending on the number of people dining at a particular time. You may want to include an armoire to store linens and stash away pens and note pads for making shopping lists.

Dining table

The dining table is the foundation of a dining area. After all, people need to have somewhere to sit and eat. Remember to measure the dimensions of the room carefully, as furniture can look much smaller in warehouse stores or furniture

showrooms than in a home.

Consider a round or square dining table, which tend fit into rooms more easily than rectangular tables. Plus, these shapes are more conducive to conversation. Rectangular tables often leave people at the ends out of the chat.

Seating

Seating can affect the ability to move around the room. If space is at a premium, some narrowprofile chairs are a better option than larger, upholstered wingbacks. Homeowners may consider a wooden or upholstered bench on one side of the dining table to maximize seating during family events.

Lighting

Use a mixture of lighting sources to create the right lighting needs in the space. Floor lamps, a chandelier, wall fixtures, and natural light need to blend and be adjusted as needed. Also, choose an overhead chandelier that complements the shape of the dining table. For example, a round fixture will look best above a round table.

Rug

An area rug can help define the dining space and set it apart from other areas in an open-concept home. An area rug also adds warmth and color when a wood table meets a wood floor; otherwise, it may look too stark.

Sale

Resource Resale

And Answer

Q. Why should I take my items to a consignment or resale shop instead of selling them on eBay, having a garage sale or taking them to a home swap party (where friends trade their treasures or clothes)?

Resale and consignment shops have an established clientele looking for the kind of items they accept on consignment or purchase outright for sale. You don’t have to pack and ship each item you sell. One quick trip to your favorite resale/consign-

ment shop is a real timesaver.

Selling furniture and other large items on eBay can be problematic due to the shipping. Selling them directly means you have to let strangers into your home and worry about scheduling appointments. Working with your local consignment or resale shop is safer and more convenient.

No need to deal with returns or bounced checks. Once your items sell at a resale/consignment shop you are paid.

Listing items on eBay or organizing a garage sale requires a great deal of time and effort. Resale/

consignment shops do the work for you—they display your items attractively, advertise for customers and handle the entire sale process.

The percentage of clothing listed on eBay that actually sells is low. It is much easier to sell clothing at a resale/consignment shop where people can “touch and feel” and try things on to make sure they fit and look well.

You can make more money in the long run by consigning than with a garage sale, swap party or eBay. Consignment/resale stores will get the full value because store owners know the real value.

Abounding Love

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Philippians 1:9 - “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ.”

Love should be the chief characteristic of the believer. The Bible clearly teaches that love is preeminent in life and ministry. John declares “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

We are commanded to love; “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12) How did Christ love? He loved sacrificially. He came to serve not to be served. Love is the reason for the cross, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) When contrasting eternity

Second Wednesday of the Month, 7pm Home of “Grace House Blessings”

(when we see Christ) with the time (here and now) as Paul speaks of faith, hope, and love, he declares; “the greatest of these is love.”

Love is the reason we serve others. Love is the decision to place the needs of others before ours. Love is a decision. Love should

empty us of self. Someone who is in love with self will have no room for others.

Love is never about self…it is always about others. Look at Christ who “emptied himself taking on the form of a servant.” (Philippians 2:7) Love doesn’t look at people as they are; love sees people as they could be in Christ.

Before Paul declares what love is, he demonstrates that without love, anything we do, however great, will be ineffective. “If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries

and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

So what is love? It’s not a feeling; it’s a commitment to the interest and wellbeing of others instead of yourself. If people would just be concerned for others as the Bible commands, 90% of the psychological problems would disappear overnight.

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more

Pastor Phil

important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:3, 4)

So what is love? God’s love is described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. We all have a long way to go, live real love God’s way!

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not selfseeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done

to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Amplified Bible)

Love is the greatest, but remember, it’s not all you need. Paul names two guardians of love; knowledge and discernment. We will see next week how these two enhance love.

* On October 6, 1866, the Reno gang carries out the first robbery of a moving train, making off with $13,000 from a train in Indiana. This new method of sticking up moving trains in remote locations that were low on law enforcement, instead of trains sitting in depots, soon became popular in the American West.

* On October 4, 1927, sculpting begins on the granite images of presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt at Mount Rushmore. Jefferson’s image was originally fashioned to the

right of Washington. Within two years, the face was badly cracked, and workers blasted the sculpture off the mountain. Sculpting began again with Jefferson on the left side of Washington.

* On October 5, 1947, President Harry Truman makes the first televised presidential address, asking Americans to cut back on food to help starving Europeans. He requested that the public voluntarily forgo meat on Tuesdays, eggs and poultry on Thursdays and to save a slice of bread each day.

* On October 8, 1956, New York Yankees righthander Don Larsen pitches the first no-hitter in the history of the World Series. It was a perfect game that no one matched until Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay in 2010.

* On October 9, 1967, socialist revolutionary and guerrilla leader Che Guevara, age 39, is captured and executed by the Bolivian army. In 1997, Guevara’s remains were found and sent back to Cuba, where they were reburied in a ceremony attended by President Fidel Castro and thousands of Cubans.

On October 7, 1983, Sean Connery stars in “Never Say Never Again” as the British secret service agent James Bond, a role he last played in 1971. The film’s title referenced the fact that the Scottishborn actor had previously remarked that he would never play Agent 007 again.

Ending at about 8:00 p.m. or 8:30 p.m., a hay wagon will be available in case some may wish to ride back to the MCC parking lot, rather than walking.

For more information about the Halloween Parade, contact volunteer fireman Aaron Murray at 717-3817173. In case of rain, the parade will be cancelled.

Guide to the 2022 Leaf Collection Program

* All pickups start on Mondays and will continue through Friday. Leaves also can be taken to the Borough Lot Composting Facility during regularly scheduled hours

* Residents are asked to rake their leaves to the curb. It is important that leaves are free of sticks, rocks, stumps, etc. to prevent damage to the leaf vacuum equipment.

* Avoid placing leaves within 15 feet of a vehicle. Also, do not park on leaves as this may start a fire.

* Avoid placing leaves within 10 feet of a storm water catch basin. Keep inlet grates clear of leaves.

Please note, the Borough requests that residents remain aware of the impacts that leaves can have on the Borough’s stormwater management system, waterways, and the Chesapeake Bay.

Please refrain from piling leaves in the gutter prior to a scheduled rain event.

SUDOKU

• Tuesday, October 11, 6:00 p.m.

Screening: “Winter’s Yearn ing.” In Maniitsoq, Green land, US aluminum giant Alcoa Corporation has been planning to build a smelting plant for years. Promising economic renewal for the region, the sense that the plant may never actually come to fruition is palpable throughout Winter’s Yearn ing. Following the lives of the area’s loyal aging population and its stymied youth—in a place where employment opportunities are limited to fisheries—the contemporary colonial violence of Denmark is figured through stories of economic ruin, frustrated communities and shared national trauma. Pictured against immense, isolating landscapes, the people of Maniitsoq await their plant – and with it, Greenland’s possible first step towards sovereignty. This event is a collaboration with POV, the award-winning independent nonfiction film series on PBS. (www.pbs.org/pov).
