Jenny Lyns Gift Shop Opens In Akron Schoolhouse
If you’ve driven down 272 (North 7th Street) in Akron lately, you’ve seen it. In front of the old Akron Schoolhouse, a red ‘64 Ford pickup-truck, adorned with seasonal gourds and pumpkins, alongside brightly colored “now open” signs. Say hello to Akron’s latest business, Jenny Lyns, a new business featuring handmade gifts, home décor, antiques and more. Owner Jenny Lyn states she comes from a family of creators spanning a few generations back to her grandparents. Her grandfather was a wellknown cabinetmaker and woodworker. Jenny says she still has a few of his pieces, which she keeps not only for sentimental reasons, but as a motivator. She credits her grandfather and the rest of her family for helping her prove that a woman can reach for and achieve her dreams, finding success through hard work, dedication and persistence.
When you visit Jenny Lyns, you will escape into a sense of tranquility as you explore all three floors of the old schoolhouse, while being transported to a place in time where people
made things by hand, using craftsmanship and love. It is the perfect shop to find one-of-a-kind gifts for all members of the family in a relaxing atmosphere designed to ignite your senses.
Jenny states that she runs her shop in an “old school way,” and that it’s ironic that she finally was able to find an old school in which to house her shop. She gives her crafters the ability to create and sell their
masterpieces without the hassle of “setting-up” and “tearing down” before and after craft shows. With over 3,600 square feet of space, the old schoolhouse has ample room for her many crafters to display their works of art, while giving shoppers plenty of room to move about and take in all the wonders they see. Check out Jenny’s ad to learn more about her shop, and about upcoming events planned for the holiday season.
Jenny Lyns is located at 22 North 7th Street in Akron, in the old schoolhouse (where Akron Nutrition Center is located). Their hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; Wednesday and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and Sundays in December 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. You can reach them at 717-723-6081, via their Facebook page: Jenny Lyns in the old 1890s Akron School, or through their website: www.jennylyns.com.

Aument Announces Nearly $8 Million in State Grants for Lancaster County Infrastructure upgrades, roadwork projects, and public safety improvements among awards.
Senator Ryan Aument (R-36) announced recently that nearly $8 million in state grants from the Public School Facility Improvement Grant Program (PSFIG) and Local Share Account (LSA) program were awarded in the 36th Senatorial District.
Both programs are administered by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA), which is an independent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development that administers many of Pennsylvania’s economic development and community improvement programs.
“I was proud to help advocate on behalf of these projects that will make much-needed infrastructure improvements across Lancaster County,” said Aument. “Clean water, safe roads, efficient sewer services, and modernized municipal and school facilities may not make for the flashiest headlines, but these services are critical to ensuring our communities run smoothly and our residents are provided for. As the state senator for northern Lancaster County, I will continue to back projects like these that will improve the lives of the constituents I represent.”
More than a dozen projects in Lancaster County were funded through the CFA’s LSA program, which funds projects concerning the public interest, community improvement, and economic development using gaming money generated by casinos:
• Akron Borough received $245,878 for renovations to its deteriorating municipal garage.
• Columbia Borough received $1 million to renovate a 16,000 square foot prefabricated metal building into its public works facility.
• Earl Township received $225,000 to complete upgrades to nine of the Earl Township Sewer Authority Pumping Station Flow Metering’s sanitary sewer pumping stations.
• East Hempfield Township, on behalf of United Disability Services Foundation, received $772,510 for the purchase of vehicles to support client transportation for use in Lancaster County.
• Elizabethtown Borough, on behalf of the Elizabethtown Area Water Authority, received $263,350 to construct a bypass piping system for its water treatment plant.
• Lancaster County Redevelopment Authority, on behalf of Pleasant View Communities, received $630,000 for facility technology upgrades.
• Lancaster County Redevelopment Authority, on behalf of The Janus School, received $250,000 for technology and infrastructure upgrades to modernize the building located in Mount Joy Borough.
• Manheim Borough received $88,475 to remove the South Oak Street bridge.
• Manheim Township received $89,853 for the purchase of a vehicle for law enforcement.
• Manheim Township received $209,112 to install a water storage tank at the Barn at Stoner Commons.
• Northwestern Lancaster County Authority received $169,000 to replace the ultraviolet disinfection system at its wastewater treatment facility located in Penn Township.
• Rapho Township received $773,957 for new equipment purchase for the public works department.
• Warwick Township received $400,000 to improve pedestrian mobility along the Clay Road corridor.
• Warwick Township Municipal Authority received $675,000 to renovate a sewer pump station.
Two additional projects were funded through the CFA’s PSFIG program, which provides grants to public school districts and area career and technical schools for eligible facility improvement projects:
• Hempfield School District received $1.5 million for a roof repair project at the Landisville Primary Center and the Landisville Middle School facilities.
• Lancaster County Career and Technology Center received $632,054 for a roof repair project at the Mount Joy Campus and Willow Street Campus.

DER EWICH YAEGER
By Clayton P. Boyer (1896-1966)
Der lieblich Sunndaag Vormiddaag Ruft hell die Glock die fromme Leit Zu ihrem Pflicht zu ihrem Gott Um ihrem ewich Herrlichkeit.
Der Yaeger hot geglaagt dabei Un gflucht un gwinscht en solchi Yacht: (Er hot gedobt mit Schnapps un Schtreit Davor fascht ganz die lieblang Nacht.)
Yetz gnarrt er zu sich selbscht, saagt er: “Wann ich net fellich schlofe maag Darich die umgscheide Kariche-Narr, Dann gehn ich heit mohl uff der Yaag.”
“Ich schlacht mir mohl en Mascht-Gedier Mit meiner Bix un meine Hund. No maege Karrich, Glock un Gmee So dowe bis sie gehn zu Grund.”
Dann hot en Wolk die Sunn verdriebt
Un bloost en kaldi, rauhi Luft; Ganz iwwer Barig un Daal schwebt nei En bleecher umbekannder Duft.
Doch eilt er zu dem Barig nei Um hochi Beem so schtreng un schtell
Un brecht die heilich Sundaags-Ruh Mit schlimm Gefluch un Hunsgebrill.
En Haschkuh hot sich datt verseimt Zu sarige fer ihr yunges Kitz(Hilflos Gedrau un Mudderslieb Bekimmert net der hatzlos Schitz.)
Er hot noch ihrem Hatz gezielt, Der Schuss hot gschallt darich’s ruhich Daal, Doch Dier un Kitz, ganz schaadefrei, Sin umgekehrt wie Blitzeschtraahl.
“Verfluchdi Flint! Verdeiwelt Vieh!” Brillt er, verruckt mit Zann un Schpeit. “Hohl mich der Deiwel, Haut un Haar, Wann’s do kee Schlachterei gebt heit!”
Yetz waar der Himmel finschder-groh, Die Beem hen gyaemert wie mit Weh; Lewendich Vieh waar all verschluppt; Es schwebt ken Vogel in der Heh.
Der Mangel dreibt sei Eifer aa Un gweelt ihn wie en scharfi Dann. Er wandelt weider in seim Weg, Gehetzt mit Batz un Hass un Zann.
Der Barig waar ganz schauderhaft, Doch unni Vogel odder Vieh.
En Unruh schleicht darich Nescht un Laab Als geischtlich Gwalt bewegt sie.
Er hot geyohlt: “So heer mich Gott Lewendich odder dodi Leit!
Ich yaag bis ich mei Ziel erlang, Wann’s geht bis in die Ewichkeit!”
Dann brecht yetz los der reisend Schtarm Un schtoost der wiedich Yaeger hoch Mitsammde Hund un Schiessgewehr Un nie ken Mann seht ihn denoch.
Noor wann en Schtarm als wiedich raast. Un rennt verruckt zum Barig nei, Drum saage als die alde Leit: “Der Ewich Yaeger geht verbei!”
THE ETERNAL HUNTER
On a lovely Sunday forenoon
The bell calls clearly pious folk To their duty to their God For their eternal salvation.
The hunter complained all the while And cursed such a troublesome noise: (He had carried on with drink and fight Almost the whole night through.)
Now he complained to himself: “If I can’t sleep in peace Because of this crazy church-fool, I’ll go a hunting today.”
“I’ll kill fat animal With my gun and hounds. Then church, bell and congregation May complain as much as they wish.”
Then a cloud covered the sun And blew a cold, raw wind; Over mountain and valley floats in A pale, unknown mist.
Yet he rushes to the hills And the high tress so strict and silent And breaks the holy Sunday peace With terrible curses and the cry of hounds.
C. Richard Beam.

He will complete it.
Author: Wenger Philippians 1:6 - “Being confident of this very thing; that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
Have you ever known someone who starts projects and doesn’t finish, or it goes on so long it takes years because they just can’t get motivated to finish it? I am glad God doesn’t work that way. He always finishes what He starts.
God starts a good work in you the same moment you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. There are many transactions that occur at that moment of salvation. It is sad, but often Christians don’t understand and/or fully appreciate these great truths. Space won’t allow enumeration of a complete list of transactions that take place, but the major ones are as follows. I would encourage you to take your
Bible and examine these verses. “We are justified (declared righteous) (Romans 3:23-28),” “we become children of God (1 John 3:1-2),” “we are baptized or placed into the body of Christ the church (1 Corinthians 12:13),” “we are forgiven (Ephesians 1:7),” “we are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30),” “we are Indwelt by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20),” “we have an eternal relationship with God (Ephesians 2:13),” “The power of the sin nature is broken (Romans 6:10-14),” “We cannot be condemned…ever (Romans 8:1-3,” and “We have eternal life now (1 John 5:1213).”
There are many more benefits that occur at salvation. These truths have to do with your position in Christ. In other words, these transactions are once for all…they take place at salvation and are irrevocable, they cannot be changed and do not depend on your everyday living or your condition. All of these benefits are a down payment, if you will, and He, Christ,
will make good on payment in full. He began this work in every believer and He will complete it.
The position/condition of the believer is where the confusion lies. As a Christian, you look at your everyday life and say, “yes but, I don’t feel very righteous, I don’t feel saved.” Feelings can be misleading. You must trust in facts. The railroad illustrates this well; the train’s engine represents the facts of God’s word; the caboose is our feelings. The engine drives the train; the caboose is just along for the ride. We are not to rely on feelings, but trust facts (what God declares in His word). Our daily condition doesn’t match our position in Christ. This process of becoming what we already are is called sanctification. Positional truth takes place at once, instantaneously at the moment of salvation; our growth in Christ takes time and is a daily process. A verse that illustrates this is Galatians 2:20, “I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God.” In a positional sense, Paul was crucified when Christ died on the cross. That’s our position When Paul says, “the life I now live I live by faith”that is our condition or daily living.
Doubt and disillusionment often have their roots in the believer’s ignorance of these great doctrines. It is our responsibility, as a believer, to study and know these doctrines. How can you walk in truth that you don’t know and understand? So, it’s not that our daily life is of no concern, but that our daily life reflects who we already are. So, although our daily living may need a lot of Divine attention, don’t despair, He that began this work will continue and will complete it. Do we think that the God who by his word spoke the entire universe into existence, would not be able to bring to completion the work He begins in a believer? Live what we already are. He… Christ, will complete what he started.

Civil Air Patrol Cadets Visit The Intrepid Museum
Cadets of Jesse Jones Squadron 304, Civil Air Patrol, embarked on a trip to New York City for an educational overnight experience at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum on Saturday, November 2.
The Lancaster Jesse Jones Civil Air Patrol Squadron joined the Harrisburg, Gettysburg, Reading, and Lebanon squadrons and embarked on an overnight educational trip to the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum in New York City to participate in their “Operation Slumber” program. This program provided the cadets with guided flashlight tours of the flight deck and many interactive, hands-on, and simulated activities. There were numerous educational exhibits that highlighted American innovation and bravery. In addition to the Intrepid aircraft carrier, the museum also features the space shuttle Enterprise, some of the world’s fastest jets, and a guided missile submarine. This activity also offered the cadets the unique and unforgettable experience of sleeping on the aircraft carrier. The Civil Air Patrol’s STEM education program provides cadets with hands-on learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The educational benefits from participating in Operation

* “I have to wear my hair tied back for work. With all the ponytails, I get lots of little broken hairs that stick up all over my head when it’s very dry or very humid, especially when I go from a wet, yucky outside to a dry, heated inside. I have tried lots of styling products that don’t work very well. Then a co-worker suggested a fabric softener sheet. I can’t believe it, but it works.” -- P.G. in Michigan
* If you have an ink stain on fabric, try blotting it with hairspray. Saturate the ink spot with hairspray and blot using a clean white cloth or non-decorated paper towel. Repeat until all the ink is gone. Make sure you test on an inconspicuous area first.
* For every degree you lower your thermostat
during the heating season, you generally reduce your energy costs by 3% daily. Also, turn down the temperature setting on your hot water heater.
* Here’s a no-fail strategy for raking up leaves: Rake leaves into a single long line, preferably onto a sidewalk. Then turn a large garbage can on its side and sweep the leaf pile into the can, breaking to empty leaves into bags as needed. The raking goes much quicker when done in “stripes.” And bagging is faster as well.
* “I have one of those big wall calendars for work. When the year is over, the kids like to cut out the months into bingo cards. They use stickers to create both the bingo cards and the puller’s cards (the individual days and the different kinds of stickers). It’s a fun craft that uses their brain cells, plus recycles the paper calendar.” -- Y.R. in Arizona
* If you run out of
buttermilk, you can use an equal amount of yogurt, preferably nonsweetened, plain, but you can adjust the sugar in a recipe slightly if your yogurt is favorably flavored.
* When entertaining, keep cold drinks in a cooler away from the kitchen. This keeps the floor space free for the cooks.

* Computer grocery lists can make not only shopping easier, but organization as well. Keep a file listing all the items you usually purchase from week to week. You can even create sections based on where certain items are located throughout the store. This will ensure you don’t miss something, necessitating a return trip to the store. Stay organized to save money.

You can cut them in quarters and staple several sheets together to make scrap paper pads to keep near the telephone or on the fridge.

* “Set up a phone call between kids and grandparents a week or so before visiting. They can talk about what the kids might like to do. It gives the grandparents time to prepare, and it gives kids a chance to build excitement before the trip.”

* Clean and disinfect a wood cutting board with salt and lemon juice. Sprinkle the board with a healthy dose of plain salt (kosher or coarse salt works best), and scrub it with a cut half of a lemon. Rinse and clean with soap and water.
* Another use for baking soda: It’s a perfect exfoliator. It’s good for the whole body and is pH neutral, so it won’t overdry skin. To use it, just make a paste and rub onto skin. Rinse and enjoy the softness.

America Day – Saturday, December 14 – with more than three million volunteers coming together. Currently, they are less than halfway to their goal. They can really use your help with sponsorships, as they only have just under 18,000 wreaths sponsored. Sponsorships can be placed online at www.wreathsacross america.org/PA0407 or you can mail a check to FOWI, P.O. Box 876, Jonestown, PA 17038.
The goal for Indiantown Gap National Cemetery is to raise enough funds to place 45,000 sponsored veterans’ wreaths on the headstones of all the local heroes laid to rest there, to ensure that the individuals who served to protect the freedoms of our country never be forgotten and to bring the community together in patriotic commemoration.
“We are forever grateful for the thousands of
supporters who dedicate their time, energy and resources to fulfilling our mission all year long,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “These individuals and their communities know the value of remembering the fallen, honoring those who currently serve and teaching the next generation about the sacrifices made for our freedom every day, and because of their continued support, Wreaths Across America continues to grow and touch new people each year.”
Those interested in volunteering for Wreaths Across America or sponsoring a wreath for Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, are invited to visit www.wreathsacross america.org/PA0407 to learn more. National Wreaths Across America Day is a free community event open to all people.

Student Spotlight
Ephrata High School
Joslyn Gehman
Sophomore
Volleyball has always been a passion for Joslyn Gehman, the Ephrata sophomore and daughter to Justin and Rene Gehman, and she hopes to continue to pursue volleyball all throughout high school. Although Gehman brings incredible skills and technique to the team, the most important asset she contributes is her positive attitude, love, and her immense amount of determination.
Gehman
In Gehman’s words, it is crucial to “spread love everywhere you go.” With this outlook, Gehman allows herself to succeed in all aspects of her life, her athletics and academics just being two examples. Gehman loves spreading her positive attributes by volunteering locally and working for her family’s daycare and landscaping companies. Through these activities and her school work, Joslyn has discovered her plans beyond her high school education. She hopes to attend college to receive a sports media degree that will help in the process of pursuing her passion of athletics. She is planning to use this degree to work as a potential reporter for major league sports. Gehman’s determination to do whatever she sets her mind to will stick by her throughout the rest of her volleyball, academic career, and entire life.
With the help of her family which includes her mom, dad, and sister, she hopes to continue to spread her kindness and love all over the world.
Noah Martin 7th Grade
Noah Martin is in 7th grade at LAMS and has a funny personality and likes jokes. Noah says, “I like how we can speak freely about God at school and having a Bible class.”
His favorite subject in school is Social Studies because there are a lot of hands-on activities. Noah likes to do drama/theater and wants to do volleyball in the spring. He made the distinguished honor roll in quarter 1, his track team got 4th place in a meet, and he played a main role in On Iron Tides, the LAMS middle school show.
“My best and most important decision in life is when I accepted Jesus and got baptized because being like Jesus is my ultimate goal in life,” says Noah.
He also hopes to achieve the main role in the next theater show and to make a difference on the volleyball team.
Written by: Nathaniel Hibshman
Someday, Noah wants to own a company and be very successful. His role model in life is his Dad (and Jesus) because they both have good beliefs and leadership.
Noah goes to Meckville Mennonite Church, and he is involved in Junior Youth there.
If there could be one thing different in the world, Noah says, “I would want more people to minister to children because then they can convert their parents and they can tell other people.”
