Student Of The Month

The first Student of the Month from the Brownstown Elementary School was announced on Monday, September 30 for the month of October. This project has been sponsored by the West Earl Lions for over 15 years with Lion Kathy Ridder as representative of the club. The fifth grade student honored as October Student of the Month was announced by fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Dettinger, as Zachary Howard. He is the son of William and Shannon Howard. Mrs. Dettinger says that Zach exemplifies the school’s BT Value as being respectful in many ways. He offers to help others and is the first to speak up if someone is in need. Zach is responsible by keeping track of all his assignments and class work. Recently, during

free time, Zach elected to work on homework. He sets a good example for his classmates and she sees him excelling into the future. Congratulations go out to Zach from the West Earl Lions and may he continue to excel in the years of his schooling far into the future.

AUTUMN SUN, SHINE!

Shine, Autumn Sun, shine, on our meadows, the second cutting has been lying a whole week. We’ve had to turn (ted) it twice already; if it rains again, it will rot for us. Come, paint the apples red cheeks and make the berries yellow with juice; if our plum cakes are to be tasty, more sun will be needed, by gollies.

The grapes are still rather sour; shine Autumn Sun, shine

and make them sweet - give to each diligent farmer a drop as if from paradise.

The Autumn Wind blows, the days are getting narrower (shorter), the swallows are already gone, the mists are rolling through the valley - come, Autumn Sun, shine and make us glad!

HERBSCHTSUNN, SCHEIN! we found recently in DIE PFALZ AM RHEIN, a magazine which comes to us regularly from Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in the Palatinate in West Germany. As many of our readers will recall, this is the landscape in West Germany which gave us our MUDDERSCHPROOCH. Erwin Burgey, the authoer of HERBSCHTSUNN, SCHEIN!, lives in the town of Bolanden in the Palatinate. Burgey has already published 70 of his Palatine dialect poems in a volume entitled “Dunnerschberger Keschte” (Chestnuts From The Donnersberg). Of these 70 poems, eighteen have won a prize in the annual dialect poetry contest in the town of Bockenheim.

Erwin Burgey did not grow up in that part of the Palatinate where the dialects are most like Pennsylvania Dutch, so some of his forms you will notice are a bit different from “unser Satt Deitsch.” You will note “werrer” for our “widder” and “rennt” for our “reyert.” In the second verse he writes “rore” for our “rode.” You will also have observed his use of our common expression “meiner Seel.” His word “Troeppche” (a drop) should be immediately understood by our Berks County readers. We here in Lancaster County speak of a “Koppli” and a “blettli,” but in Berks County they drink from a “Koppche” and a “Blettche.” We suppose the Lancaster County equivalent of “Troeppche” would be “Droppli” or perhaps “Dreppli.”

So, liewe Leser, you see that German dialects very close to our MUDDERSCHPROOCH are still being spoken in the Palatinate in West Germany and there are dialect poets there - as here - who are still writing lovely poetry.

This week we salute “der Dichder” Erwin Burgey “im alde Land” and all those who are still writing poems in our MUDDERSCHPROOCH!!!

Keystone Military Families Stockings For Soldiers Donations

This year marks 15 years of Keystone Military Families (KMF), along with Blue Ridge, of helping spread holiday cheer to troops at home and abroad. This heartwarming effort aims to remind our military personnel that they are appreciated and remembered during the Christmas and holiday season.

Every year, KMF ships between 8,000 and 10,000 holiday stockings filled with donated food, hygiene products, and other essentials to military personnel who can’t be with their loved ones. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way in lifting spirits and showing our gratitude for their service.

How to Comfort a Seasoned Saint by Pastor Ricky Kurth

Back in 1992, I was on my way to the hospital to visit Bernie Mack, one of the founders of the church that I pastor. As I drove, I prayed and spoke with the Lord about what to say to encourage this veteran soldier of the cross. On hospital visits I usually shared Romans 8:18 and II Corinthians 4:16-18, verses that are tailor-made to minister to the heart of any believer lying on a bed of affliction. The problem that particular day was, I knew that Bernie knew those verses. As a seasoned saint, he knew those verses before I was born. So how was I going to comfort him? What

could I possibly share with him from God’s Word that he didn’t already know?

If you’ve ever found yourself in a similar situation, the Apostle Paul gives us some direction in this area in his ministry to the Thessalonians. Paul introduced those dear saints to the doctrine of the pretribulation Rapture during his initial visit to Thessalonica (II Thes. 2:5). After that, he reviewed this precious truth in detail in his first epistle to them (I Thes. 4:13-5:11). So by the time Paul wrote his second letter to these saints, you’d think they would have been resting confidently in the “comfort” of this cherished truth (4:18; 5:11).

But when Paul’s second epistle exhorted them to “be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled” (2:2), we know that these brethren were shaken and troubled or else Paul would not have had to exhort them not to be. This means that even though these seasoned saints knew full well that they had been delivered from the coming

Bible. We would love to have you with us!

wrath of the Tribulation (I Thes. 1:10), the persecutions they were enduring (I Thes. 1:6; 2:2,14; 3:3,4; II Thes. 1:4,7) were naturally causing their faith in the pretribulation Rapture to flag.

So how could Paul comfort them? What could he possibly share with them about God’s Word that they didn’t already know? How instructive it is for us that he didn’t even try! Instead, he simply reviewed the doctrine (II Thes. 2:1-4) and called upon them to remember all that he had taught them (v. 5).

And that’s what I did for Bernie that day. I read him the verses he knew and loved before I was born. You see, beloved, when it comes to comforting seasoned saints, God doesn’t expect us to come up with anything new. He expects us to do what Paul did, and simply review what a veteran believer already knows to be true from the timeless Word of the Eternal God. May we always be found faithful in this regard.

Civil Air Patrol Volunteers At Airport Air Show

The Lancaster Jesse Jones Squadron Civil Air Patrol (CAP) cadets proudly volunteered at the Lancaster Airport Air Show on Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8, contributing to the success of this highly anticipated event. The Jesse Jones Squadron was supported by Civil Air Patrol Group 2 Reading Composite Squadron 811, Lebanon Composite Squadron 307, Harrisburg Composite Squadron 306, and Capitol City Composite Squadron 302.

The Lancaster Air Show

featured an impressive array of World War II planes, classic planes, military aircraft, WWII reenactors, and a thrilling wing walker performance. The cadets played a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the event by assisting with crowd control, managing parking, and assisting airport management with flight line duties. Their dedication and hard work were instrumental in maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all attendees.

“We are incredibly proud

of our cadets for their commitment, professionalism, and effectiveness in managing the flow of vehicles and pedestrians” said Second Lieutenant Craig Shannon, the senior member in charge. “Their efforts not only supported the air show but also provided them with valuable experience in leadership and community service.”

The Lancaster Airport Air Show attracted aviation enthusiasts from across the region, offering a unique opportunity to witness

historic and modern aircraft up close. The event also served as a platform for the cadets to demonstrate their skills and dedication to the Civil Air Patrol’s mission of emergency services, aerospace education, and cadet programs.

This is one of the many services that the Jesse Jones Squadron 304 provides to the community. Service to their community, their state and their nation is a primary part of the cadet programs within the Civil Air Patrol.

Raymond was a U.S. Navy veteran and served on the USS Weeden as a coxswain in WWII. His lilt led to a service nickname of “Dutch” which stuck for a long time. When Raymond came home from the war, he married Dot, who had been anxiously awaiting his return since they began dating in 1940. He stayed connected with the men he served with, often attending the anniversary gatherings of the USS Weeden. Raymond, along with his brother, Paul, took over the family business, John Weidman & Sons Inc. after returning from WWII. His entrepreneurial nature and

dedication to serving his community has made the business a trusted household name for all heating, cooling, and fuel delivery needs.

Raymond was a talented musician. He played bluegrass on the mandolin and fiddle with the Garden Spot Pioneers and local radio stations. He made each of his children their own mandolin with his crafty woodworking skills. Raymond was a man of faith and was a member of the Dunkard Brethren Church in Lititz for over 61 years.

* Remove scuff marks from hard-surface floors (wood, linoleum, tile) with a clean tennis ball. If your floor has many scuffs, you can poke a hole in the tennis ball and insert it on the top of your broom handle. When you hit a scuff, flip your broom over and rub. Most come off right away!

* This is a great, natural

solution for tightening your facial pores, and it feels wonderful on tired skin, too. Start by brewing a cup of rosehip tea and pouring it into an ice­cube tray to freeze. When it’s all frozen, take out a cube. Wrap it inside of a washcloth, and wet just the spot where the cube is. Then rub it over your face.

* “My kids use rewards charts for chores and good behavior, etc. I used to get some little toys at the dollar store for rewards, but I ended up at the local thrift store one day and noticed that there was plenty of nice small toys that were actually cheaper than at the dollar store! Plus, these nice things are getting one more use, and that’s good for the environment, too!” A.K. in Pennsylvania

Cocalico Teachers Make A Big Impact On Eagle Athletes

The Cocalico High School Football Program held its 3rd Annual “My Jersey, Your Impact” game on Friday, October 11. Each senior player selected one teacher who has had the biggest impact on his life and presented him/her with a jersey to wear to the football game. This group of teachers was then recognized during a brief ceremony prior to the start of the game.

“My Jersey, Your Impact” recognizes teachers who go above and beyond to make connections with their students that allow them to learn more than just course content. The teachers honored represented all three levels of education ­ elementary, middle school, and high school. Those recognized through “My Jersey, Your Impact” this year were:

Nikitiuk

Gehmans Mennonite

Dennis Nikitiuk 8th Grade

Dennis is an energetic boy in the eighth grade class at Gehmans Mennonite School. He is 13 years old, and his parents are Yana and Gennadii Nikitiuk. Dennis gets very good grades in all classes, but his favorite classes are science and social studies. What he enjoys must about school is Phys. Ed. because he likes to play sports.

When he gets home from school, in his free time, he enjoys making up songs on the piano or riding his E-bike. Dennis has played the piano for more than seven years and is talented in any kind of music. He also enjoys reading in his free time.

Dennis plays all the sports in school, and is on the school team in soccer, basketball, volleyball, and softball. Although he is only 13, he can read, write, and speak three languages. Dennis has visited Ukraine multiple times, and hopes to go again. If he could visit any place he wanted, he would travel to Belgium and Luxembourg.

Written by: Judson Burkholder

After high school graduation, Dennis plans on going to college and getting a full-time job. He admires his parents because they set very good examples. Dennis actively attends Evangelical Christian Baptist Church.

These are just a few of the many interesting facts about him, and I hope you will get to meet this amazing teenager someday.

Albertson Garden Spot

Lila Albertson Senior

At Garden Spot High School, 17-year-old senior Lila Albertson stands out because of her passion for life. She’s involved in Health Council, Class Council, Garden Spot Performing Arts, Tri-M Music Honor Society, chorus, vocal ensemble, golf and the yearbook committee—so her contributions are felt throughout nearly every aspect of the school community.

For Albertson, being involved in school activities is more than just filling her schedule—it’s a way to express herself.

“It gives you a break from the day,” Albertson said. “I feel like if I don’t have anything creative going [on] then I kind of turn into a robot where I’m just constantly doing homework [and] worrying about my grades.”

Albertson enjoys growing in all aspects of life. When asked to discuss one thing she’s proudest of, she talks about converting from Protestantism to Catholicism this past year. She is a new member of Our Lady of Lourdes parish here in New Holland. She feels a deep spiritual connection in that place.

“I went to one mass and I actually started crying in the service,” Albertson said. “I think there is a beauty in denominations…I say it’s like God’s gift to us because you’re able to choose and pick where you feel closest to God.”

The extroverted senior known for her lively personality has no trouble being herself. Her friends often describe her as someone who can always make them laugh or lift their spirits.

Written by: Sophia Ashcroft

As she prepares for her final year of high school, Albertson is excited to continue growing spiritually, academically, and creatively— forging her own unique path with the same enthusiasm and passion she brings to everything she does. Albertson plans to study cognitive behavioral therapy in college and she hopes to continue her golf career there, too.
