This year’s program will feature the Christmas story told through video, string ensemble, engaging storytelling, a carol singalong, and glow stick lighting. It’s a fun program the whole family will enjoy! No childcare will be offered.

For the 13th year, Blue Ridge collaborated with Keystone Military Families Stockings For Soldiers in its mission to make the holidays just a little bit brighter for soldiers stationed around the world. Through a fundraising and marketing awareness campaign, Blue Ridge helped bring in much-needed funds and other community support to a program that provides giftfilled stockings to soldiers who will not be home for Christmas. KMF reports it was a truly record­breaking year with 11,180 holidayfilled stockings shipped to soldiers around the world just in time for Christmas!

2022 Record­Breaking Results:

• Raised over $41,000 in monetary donations to support the costs of purchasing, shipping, and distributing the gift­filled stockings.

• Provided over 22,000 personalized messages to show support for our military personnel.

• Distributed over 4,000 handmade ornaments and beautifully sewn stockings.

• Collected 6,000 pounds of stocking stuffers as well as 250 stuffed animals.

• Received more than 200 volunteer hours from several of their partners to work at KMF’s Shoemakersville facility.

“Every dollar raised for KMF’s Stockings For Soldiers helps fund the packing of holiday stockings filled with food, hygiene products, holiday decorations, Christmas cards, and other requested items,” said Cindy Mellinger, Blue Ridge Marketing/Community Relations Coordinator and the Stockings For Soldiers Central PA Project Coordinator.

“We are very blessed to have a very supportive and generous community when it comes to our deserving soldiers,” adds Mellinger.

“We want to thank everyone for another successful year for such a worthy cause that is near and dear to our hearts.”

For questions regarding Blue Ridge/KMF’s Stockings For Soldiers partnership, please contact Cindy Mellinger at cmellinger@brctv.com or call 717.733.6066 ext. 2551

The community is also invited to their Sunday morning Christmas service on December 25 at 10:00 a.m. Lead Pastor Brian Coles will be bringing a special Christmas message as they reflect on the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. They look forward to celebrating with you!

The church is located at 565 Airport Road, New Holland. For more information, visit www.petra.church/events.

Friendly Circle Meeting

The Friendly Circle held its December meeting on Tuesday, December 13 at Akron Church of the Brethren. President John Rice welcomed everyone.

Shirley Pierce and Hazel Steininger greeted 71 members to the meeting.

The theme song “The More We Get Together” was sung followed by “The Pledge of Allegiance” and “God Bless America” with Gladys Horvath accompanying on the piano. To celebrate the Christmas season they also sang “Silver Bells,” “Joy to the World” and “Silent Night.”

The devotional leader for December was Pastor Jim Goodyear from Bergstrasse Lutheran Church, on the hill in East Ephrata. Pastor Jim reminded the group it was December 13 and only 12 more days until Christmas. He took us back to Nazareth, on an ordinary day when the angel Gabriel visited Mary, an ordinary girl, who was pledged to be married to Joseph, an ordinary man, to tell her she would be with child and give birth to a son, and will give him the name of Jesus. An ordinary inn keeper offered his stable to Mary and Joseph where Jesus was born. He said that you need to embrace the depth of the story. It’s about God the divine and his presence. Love comes to ordinary people craving to be loved

as who they are! God takes your order and makes it special. His Christmas wish for everyone is to allow God to change them. Every day is a day of love - as you are loved in everything you do, say and act. Pastor Jim also gave the blessing before the meal.

After the delicious meal, they were entertained by Don Kinnier and Judy Townsend. Don has played the organ at Longwood Gardens for 43 years. He is also the organist at First United Methodist Church and Bergstrasse Lutheran Church, both in Ephrata. Don played the “March of the Wooden Soldiers” on the organ and had the members singing along to “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” and “Angels We Have Heard on High.” Don also had the members singing in rounds to “Good King Wenceslas” as Kings, Paiges and Narriator’s. They sang, “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” using the antiphonal words in response to certain lyrics.

He had instruments handed out to accompany “Jingle Bells.” Last of all, Judy led the members in singing, “O Come All Ye Faithful.”

President John Rice installed the officers for 2023: President John Rice, Vice President Thomas Williams, Recording Secretary Libby Rupp, Assistant Recording Secretary Bonnie Fry, Treasurer Debbie Moyer, Assistant Treasurer Carl Woerner, Corresponding Secretaries Grace and Jerry Gerhart, Membership Secretary Sandy Butzer, 1st Assistant Secretary Mary Ann O’Brien, 2nd Assistant

Secretary Janet Baker, and Publicity Almanara Buffenmyer.

Pat Bunting led the singing of 17 December birthdays and three December anniversaries: Larry and Nancy Weachter, 62 years; Carl and Gisele Woerner, 54 years; and Clay and Karen Miller, 57 years.

Assistant Secretary Bonnie Fry read the minutes from November and Debbie Moyer gave the Treasurer’s report.

President Rice thanked Gladys Horvath for serving as the pianist in 2022.

The Friendly Circle also remembered the kitchen committee, Dennis, Judy and Edie with a Christmas gift for their great meals and service for 2022.

The Gerhart’s reported receiving one thank you card and asked members to notify them if they know of any members hospitalized or deceased.

The table decorations and napkins were donated by Jerry and Grace Gehart.

The trip committee has a trip planned for 2023 to “The Kenny Rogers Band” on April 16, 2023 in Lebanon. If anyone is interested in joining The Friendly Circle on this trip, please contact

Ephrata Supports Toys For Tots

Scores of volunteers flooded Main Street Ephrata recently to support Toys For Tots in a huge way.

A dozen overflowing collection boxes full of toys, along with over 260 bicycles were lined up on the sidewalk for a photo opportunity prior to loading them all onto two tractor trailers bound for the Toys For Tots distribution center at Park City Mall in Lancaster.

There were hundreds of homemade cookies and hot chocolate for all volunteers to enjoy as the Christmas music filled the air.

Volunteers (Elves) checked tire pressure and performed maintenance checks on all bicycles prior to loading.

Everyone did an outstanding job. This is what it’s all about. All the trees of Main Street Ephrata are full of Christmas lights and looking beautiful, but the people in the community shined even brighter. Thank you all!

Adamstown Rod And Gun Makes Donation

The Adamstown Rod and Gun Club participates in many community events. Most recently they participated in the Marines Toys for Tots. The club had such a large amount of new packaged toys to donate, they took them directly to the distribution center located in a building in The Park City Mall.

It was an honor for them to meet Marine Gilbert Bixler who is the coordinator of the Lancaster County location. He was thrilled to give the club a tour and tell them the history of Toys for Tots, which is located in many states. Gil stayed in Lancaster County last year, and they helped 26,970 children with 38,884 toys distributed. The volunteers love the work involved and do it with a smile! It is all about giving to the children!

Shown in the photo, from left to right, are Gilbert Bixler and Ramona Hamilton.

Carl Slegel Named Lions PA Foundation Fellow

Lions District 14-D and the Lions of Pennsylvania Foundation recently recognized an East Cocalico Lion member as a PA Foundation Fellow. Lion Carl Slegel was honored for faithfully serving his club and community with his donation of time and efforts and for giving his Special support for those less fortunate in the state.

He received a pinnacle and lapel pin acknowledging his dedication to the foundation’s humanitarian goals. The Mission of the Lions of Pennsylvania Foundation is to assist those afflicted with sensory impairment, particularly those relating to vision and hearing. They do this by awarding grants in support of special projects

and programs for the sensory impaired and to join with individual Pennsylvania Lions Clubs in responding

to local, community, and regional needs.

The important thing is that all money received remains

in Pennsylvania. Lion Carl has been faithfully serving with the East Cocalico Lions since 2009. Last year, District 14­D, started looking at chartering a “Veterans” Lions Club in District 14D. Lion Carl spent endless hours doing research and aid to the District to start this new club. The members of the East Cocalico Lions, who have been “Lighting the Way” in their community for more than 75 years, would like to thank Lion Carl for exhibiting the values of Lionism and for providing valuable service to the community and to the club.

Shown in the photo is Lion Carl being presented with his PA Fellowship pinnacle by Immediate Past District Governor Dick Sware.

THE SHANK DOOR STORY The Shank Door Company is happily celebrating 58 years of service within the community With a variety of doors available to both residential and commercial clients, Shank Door Company has grown to be the largest garage door installer across the region. The success of this local business began in Harrisonburg, Virginia in the 1950s by Ralph Shank when he started selling and installing garage doors. With hard work, discipline and the heart of a true entrepreneur, Ralph moved to Baltimore for a short time and then moved to Myerstown in 1964. He began selling doors out of his basement and as his reputation for excellent service, superior labor and remarkable products spread throughout the community the business continued to prosper The current location of Shank Door at Myerstown was originally a farm belonging to Ralph’s brother Aaron Shank. Ira Mast, the company’s first associate, was hired in 1971 In 1973, the farm officially became the established site for the business. Ralph decided to sell the business to Ira in 1976 He remained in some capacity following the transition. They also have a team working out of their Lancaster warehouse location. Ira placed high importance on thoroughness and continued growing the company competently and yielding growth. Despite a fire in 1982 when the building burned, Ira persevered and Shank Door rebounded and several new additions were built. The success of Shank Door is due to God-given opportunities, loyal contractors and customers. While styles and times have certainly changed from Ralph’s initial interest in doors, the market for quality, durability, and function has not. Employing approximately 80 people, the Shank Door companies maintain the reputation of quality and hard work set forth by Ralph. This commitment has earned them excellent reviews on Google and Angie’s List, as well as countless customer referrals. Overhead, entry and car wash doors, roll up screens and retractable awnings are among the products available for residential or commercial clients. If you are looking for any of these products and need an installation team that is highly skilled, please call Shank Door Their phone number is 717-933-4134. You may also view their website at www.shankdoor.com for more information.

First United Holds “I Am” Sermon Series

Do you know Who is Jesus? Is he Christ the Savior who saved everyone? Or is he the Lord you worship? In the early church, when the gospel had reached different parts of the Roman Empire, different people with different culture and religion accepted and interpreted Jesus

differently. So many Christians claimed so many different Jesus. It became serious problems for the unity of church. It was a huge crisis for the Early Church. So John the Apostle had to write another gospel to answer the question, “Who is Jesus?” with the Seven “I am” statements.

Who is Jesus today? How do you know Jesus and follow Him? Rev. Choi invites you to their new journey with “Gospel According to John: I

Am…” on New Year’s Day 2023.

Am the BREAD of LIFE” John 6:35-51

TO GO T

THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS

According to the ninth chapter of Isaiah, the Christ of Christmas, Who in that chapter is called ‘WONDERFUL’ and MIGHTY GOD’, is yet to be ‘THE PRINCE OF PEACE’

on an earthly throne. In the twenty-fourth Psalm Christ is called ‘THE KING OF GLORY’.

According to the apostle Peter, when the rulers of this world put Christ to death, they killed ‘THE PRINCE OF LIFE’ Acts (3:14 and 15). According to the apostle Paul, the rulers crucified ‘THE LORD OF GLORY’ (I Corinthians 2:8).

Then again the apostle Paul wrote of the coming Christ in this language, in I Timothy 6:14 to 16, “the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who in His times shall show who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords.’

In the meantime we have this wonderful message for the human race, not only for Christmas but for every day, every hour, and every moment of every year:

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1).

Even though we may be enjoying material prosperity and good health and have our loved ones all around us, we cannot have real, genuine joy, if we do not have Christ in us the hope of glory, and know positively that God, for Christ’s sake, hath forgiven us all our sins. This is the message of Colossians 1:27, Ephesians 4:32 and Ephesians 1:6 and 7.

GABRIEL AND THE VIRGIN MARY

When the angel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would bring forth a Son and call His Name ‘JESUS’, the angel added: “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son

of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David; and He shall reign over the House of Israel forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.” (Luke 1:26 to 33).

Then the Holy Child Jesus, conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary in the town of Bethlehem. (Luke 2:1 to 7). This was in fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14 and Micah 5:2. Then followed the Lord’s message, “Peace on Earth... Good Will toward Men.” (Luke 2:14).

Biblical Message THIS WEEK’S

West Earl Lions Student Of The Month

The West Earl Lions have begun their 15th year with the Student of the Month program at the Brownstown Elementary School. They begin with the month of November and congratulate fifth grader Leila Testa, daughter of Brad and Selma Testa.

Leila’s teacher, Miss Hannah Coble, says that Leila has stood out from day one. She treats others with kindness and works very hard. All who know her can depend on her to do the

that Christ came unto His own; and His own received Him not. His citizens hated Him, and sent a message after Him, saying, “We will not have this MAN to reign over us.” (Luke 19:14).

Then Israel’s rejected King and Messiah wept over His ‘kingdom’ nation and their city, saying, “If thou had known the things that belong to thy PEACE; but now they are hid from thine eyes.” Then the Lord described the judgment that would come instead of peace; “because thou knew not the time of thy visitation.” (Luke 19:41 to 44).

CHRIST MADE PEACE BY THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS

The Lord Jesus, rejected by His own nation, went not to the throne of David to bring universal peace on earth, but He went to Calvary’s cross. So ‘PEACE ON EARTH’ has been postponed. But in Colossians 1:20 we read concerning Christ on the

right thing. She always has a smile and a bright outlook on any situation. It takes a special person to make

cross of Calvary; “Having made PEACE through the blood of His cross; to reconcile all things unto Himself.”

One of the greatest of all the enemies of Christ (the apostle Paul) became Christ’s most faithful and fruitful servant. Paul said, “Being justified by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1).

Then later Paul wrote; “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God...And the PEACE OF GOD, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6 and 7).

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13).

everyone feel that they are special and Leila has that ability. Her excitement for learning is contagious. They are impressed daily with her hard work, focus and determination. She truly is a role model for others and they are so lucky to have her as a part of their classroom.

The West Earl Lions are pleased to honor Leila as November Student of the Month and they wish her happiness and success in all that she does going into the future.

WHEN WILL PEACE ON EARTH BE REALIZED?

In Ephesians 2:14 to 16 we read that, because the Lord Jesus Christ made peace on the cross, by that cross of the Lord of Glory, God is making of believing Gentiles and believing Jews ‘ONE NEW MAN’ reconciling the believers of all nations in ‘ONE BODY’ by the cross.

But God has not abandoned His ‘PEACE ON EARTH’ program. He has postponed this ‘KINGDOM’ program until He has completed ‘THE NEW MAN’. Then according to Isaiah 62:1 to 4, God will have a NEW ISRAEL and a NEW JERUSALEM.

According to Psalm 24:7 to 10; “The King of Glory Shall Enter In.” Then Israel shall be saved. (Romans 11:26...Luke 21:27 to 33).

Israel shall “LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED.” (Zechariah

12:10). “Behold He (Christ) cometh with clouds: and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him.” (Revelation 1:7).

“For unto us a CHILD is Born, unto us a SON is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, THE MIGHTY GOD, the everlasting FATHER...‘THE PRINCE OF PEACE’... Of the increase of His government and peace no end; upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and establish it with judgment and justice, from henceforth, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” (Isaiah 9:6 and 7).

THE QUESTION OF PONTIUS PILATE

“What then shall I do with Jesus, Who is called CHRIST?” (Matthew 27:22). Christ was delivered for our sins and raised for our justification. (Romans 4:25). Christ died to deliver us from the wrath to come. (I Thessalonians 1:9 and 10). He is the Saviour of the world (I John 4:14). Is He your SAVIOUR?

Slow-Cooker Granola Is a Game-Changer

Rosemary Cashews for Holiday Giving

We’re a granola-eating family. When the tall jar in our pantry reads almost empty, it’s time to stir up and bake a new batch. It’s never a chore, because the fresh homemade taste of hearthealthy oats with nuts and dried fruit always satisfies, whether combined with yogurt and berries at breakfast, or sprinkled over a scoop of ice cream for an evening dessert.

No wonder I was curious when a friend suggested I make granola in my slow cooker instead of baking it in the oven. Skeptical, I gave it a try and loved the results. In fact, it’s a game-changer.

Before COVID, my holiday traditions this time of year began with a gathering of five neighborhood friends for an early-morning coffee klatch at one of our houses. We originally met when our sons were just 5 years old, and our friendship continued through Cub Scout activities, softball games, bike rides and picnics at the neighborhood park. Off they went to college, and we attend their weddings together.

I stick with my basic recipe that never disappoints. The hand-crafted, economical blend is open to variations, like substituting cashews for the almonds or pecans. When I buy a jug of fresh local maple syrup, I leave out the brown sugar entirely. For variety, I’ll cut up something unusual, like dried persimmons, to toss in at the end with the raisins.

* On December 23, 1672, Italian astronomer, mathematician and engineer Giovanni Domenico Cassini discovered Rhea (originally christened Sidera Lodoicea), the second-largest of Saturn’s 62 moons. In 2010, a spacecraft named for Cassini would detect a thin oxygen atmosphere around it the first such known outside planet Earth.

Army draft notice while spending the holiday season at his newly purchased mansion, Graceland. Distraught fans sent thousands of letters to the Army asking for him to be spared, but Elvis himself had no hesitation about entering, though he did receive a deferment that allowed him to finish work on the movie “King Creole.”

* On December 21, 2006, rebel monks at the centuriesold Esphigmenou Monastery in Thessaloniki, Greece, took up crowbars and fire extinguishers to repel church­appointed monks with sledgehammers attempting to break in. The rebels vehemently opposed efforts by the Orthodox church to improve relations with the Vatican.

NOTE:

TASTY SLOW-COOKER GRANOLA

Cooking spray or olive oil

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coarsely chopped whole almonds

1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Since we still lived within blocks of one another, we’d take turns hosting the annual get-together. For the one in charge, it offered an opportunity to use our fanciest or quirkiest tableware for serving fruit, pastries and coffee. We’d exchange little memorable, sometimes homemade, gifts, too. I liked to bring something from my kitchen, like this rosemary cashew appetizer/snack I prepared last year.

1/2 cup canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

GIFT-GIVING TIP: Let kids draw a label to glue to a mason jar. It might say “The Johnsons’ World’s Best Granola.” For a holiday gift, tie a colorful ribbon around the jar. ***

* On December 24, 1945, a fire destroyed the home of George and Jennie Sodder and their nine children in Fayetteville, West Virginia. While their parents and four other siblings escaped, no sign of the remaining five children has ever been found, despite decades-long publicity and numerous investigations by both law enforcement and amateur sleuths.

* On December 25, 2013, military defense forces discovered a professionally designed but incomplete 40-meter tunnel connecting Hong King to China that included rail tracks, hanging lamps, ventilators and a small transport cart.

The tasty cashews were such a hit, I decided to make the recipe in multiples this year and fill wide pint­size canning jars I picked up at the store. Tied with holiday ribbon, gift tags and a shiny mini-size gold ornament for extra bling, it is a unique, personalized gift.

ROSEMARY CASHEWS

3 cups roasted, unsalted cashews 1 heaping tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon salt 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted

2. Spread the cashews in one layer on a cookie sheet and bake for about 6 minutes, or until warm and lightly toasted.

3. Combine the rosemary, brown sugar, salt, melted butter and pepper (if you

want an extra kick) in a large bowl. When the cashews are heated, immediately pour them in the bowl with the spice butter mixture. Toss thoroughly.

4. Cool and serve. Store in an airtight container up to two weeks.

* On December 22, 1956, a baby western gorilla named Colo debuted on the world stage at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio, where she would spend her entire life, becoming the first­ever gorilla born in captivity. Upon her death in 2017, she was also the oldest known gorilla in the world.

* Burned rice? No problem. While it’s still hot, carefully remove to a new pot any rice not browned or blackened. Then top it with a single slice of white bread. Allow it to sit for several minutes under a tightly fitted lid. The burned smell is absorbed by the bread, and the rice is fit to eat.

* Plastic holiday tablecloths can be a festive addition to any family celebration. But what to do if you unpack yours and it’s wrinkled? Get those wrinkles out in a hurry with a hair dryer. Set the hair dryer to a low setting, and

gently run the warm air over the wrinkles. Smooth and set the table.

* Freshen rugs without the heavy perfume smell of store­bought brands; Simply sprinkle a little baking soda on your carpet and let it sit for about 10 minutes before vacuuming.

* Wrap the lint from your dryer in 6­inch strips of wax paper. Roll it up, twist both ends and you have a perfect firestarter.

* For light and unbelievably fluffy pancakes, try subbing the water in your recipe with club soda. Yummo. E.S. in Florida

* Add a few drops of water to votive cups before adding a candle. The wax will float on the water, and when the candle burns down, it won’t get stuck in the votive glass.

* Use silicone caulk to make non­skid beads on the bottom of your pet dishes.

They will stay in one place instead of getting scooted all around the kitchen.

* Need a quick iron job but don’t have the time to iron? Spray a clean kitchen towel with a mixture of water and a little fabric softener until damp. Pop it in the dryer with the item that’s wrinkled. It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to get all the wrinkles out and smell great to boot!

* While we’re on ironing tips, here’s a great one from T.C. in Alabama: “If you have mineral deposits on your iron, use a toothbrush and toothpaste (mild abrasive) to polish them off your iron’s face. Rinse with water, and next time, use distilled water for steaming.”

* “When driving a nail into a plaster wall, first put down a piece of tape at the spot where you will insert the nail. Tap the nail in right through the tape, then pull it

away to discard. It often will keep the surrounding plaster from crumbling at the site of the nail.” W.L. in Oregon

* When your cabinet door magnet locks are too strong, try putting a piece of tape over the magnet. It decreases the strength of the magnet.

* If you paint your radiators, make sure that the paint you use is intended to be heat-resistant. To get the best finish, paint while the radiator is warm.

* “During the holidays, our schedules change so much, it’s hard to keep track. I used to write and rewrite our family calendar, but now I just make a grid for the days/weeks, and I use Post-it notes to enter parties, school obligations and anything that is a ‘maybe.’ It’s much easier to move around, and to add or delete events as needed.” via email

* “Fasten all buttons,

snaps, fasteners and zippers on your clothes before washing and drying. It will help them keep their shape. Turn socks inside out, too. It will help prevent them from getting fuzzballs.” M.W. from Saskatchewan, Canada

* “I pick up extra coffee mugs from second-hand stores, then clean and fill them with hot chocolate packets, small coffees and wrapped tea bags and a few little chocolate bars. These make nice little gifts for friends and service people. I am on a fixed budget, but I find that I can be generous this way.” T.L. in North Carolina

* When mailing packages, keep in mind that secure cargo is tightly packed. You don’t have to buy expensive packing peanuts or bubble wrap; you can use what’s around. For instance, plastic grocery bags are always in abundance. They can be

tucked into any spare room and they barely weigh a thing. Same with newspaper; fill all the available space so that nothing bounces around in transit. Save your bubble wrap for the following tip.

* “When mailing cookies, make sure they are packed well. Use an appropriate size container, and give layers some space by separating them with small sheets of bubble wrap. My cookies arrive intact every time.” J.J. in Florida

* “I use a black permanent marker to ‘erase’ scuff marks on my black heels. I only wear them a couple of times a year, so I have to make them last. It works.”

* In 2020, a lightning bolt extending a total of 477.2 miles spread across Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, setting a new world record for the longest flash.

* Rubber bands last longer if you refrigerate them.

* Rooms at the Null Stern (“zero star”) Hotel are situated in repurposed nuclear bunkers and include open-air mountain rooms with equally zero walls. The designers obviously weren’t kidding about that rating.

* In 2002, NASA intern Thad Roberts stole a safe full of moon rocks so he and his girlfriend could have “sex on the moon.” Their otherworldly romantic encounter backfired when they later tried to sell the $21 million worth of rocks.

Roberts was caught and sentenced to eight years in prison.

* And speaking of romance: Tinder’s not just for humans! Well, not at the Dutch zoo that created a “Tinder for orangutans” to help a female named Samboja find a breeding partner. The primate was shown photos of potential mates from an international breeding program on a tablet, but unfortunately her

mother got hold of it ... and smashed it to pieces.

* Poet W.B. Yeats and magician Aleister Crowley were such bitter rivals in the world of the occult that Yeats once kicked Crowley down a flight of stairs for being a proponent of “black magic.”

* Only humans have chins.

* In 2012, the police chief of Vaughn, New Mexico, stepped down because his own criminal record prevented him from carrying a gun. That left just a drug­sniffing dog named Nikita as the only certified member of the town’s police department.

* Trained pigeons can tell the difference between paintings by Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet.

* In the early 1990s, cyclists who doped at the Tour De France used so much erythropoietin that they had to exercise throughout the night to avoid having heart attacks in their sleep.

* Pringles once tried to evade a hefty tax payment by claiming their product wasn’t potato chips.

* Humans are more likely to die at around 11 a.m. than any other time of day.

* Who needs Harry Potter? Not the city of Christchurch in New Zealand. Until 2021, the city paid Ian Brackenbury Channell $16,000 a year to act as a state­appointed wizard. His duties? To perform “acts of wizardry and other wizardlike services” for two decades.

* In the first few centuries of the Christian Era, controversy over whether or not Jesus was divine at birth created political and social unrest that frequently resulted in full-scale warfare.

* Some DVD copies of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” include a subtitle track called “Subtitles for People Who Don’t Like the Film,” comprised of lines from Shakespeare’s “Henry IV Part 2” that vaguely match what the actors are saying.

* Finnish Ph.D. students graduate in style! Along with their hard-earned diploma, they receive a sword and top hat.

* Cherophobia is the fear of being happy.

* Within a week of stealing 16 statues from an Indian Hindu temple, the thieves responsible believed their subsequent nightmares and bad luck were a direct result and brought back some of

the property with a note asking for forgiveness but still held on to two of the statues anyway.

* James Cameron came close to casting O.J. Simpson as the Terminator, but ultimately decided the athlete was “too pleasant” to portray the character.

* If you attended the University of WisconsinLa Crosse, perhaps you participated in a Thanksgiving tradition known as Frozen Turkey Bowling. And yes, it’s essentially what it sounds like: A bunch of folks hurling oiled frozen turkeys down a grocery store aisle at a set of bowling pins. Strange? Sure, but it raises money to combat smoking, so we’re on board.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have always wondered if it matters if you swallow a bunch of pills in one swallow or if it would be better to space them out. I

take a bunch, like Eliquis, dicyclomine, gabapentin, etc. -- B.A.

ANSWER: With most pills, it’s OK to take them as a bunch together if you can tolerate doing so (I’ve known people who have a tough time taking multiple pills at the same time due to gagging). There are a few combinations of pills that shouldn’t be taken together, such as tetracyclines and calcium, but these should be labelled clearly on your bottle.

West Earl Lions Student Of The Month

The West Earl Lions, in partnership with the Brownstown Elementary School, proudly present the December Student of the Month, fourth grader Reagan Reed! She is the daughter of John and Christine Reed.

Reagan’s teacher, Mr. Kevin Allen, says that it was hard to choose one student, for the fourth graders are all amazing. Mr. Allen says that Reagan is a very kind person, polite in any situation. Sometimes quiet and shy,

A few medicines, like alendronate (Fosamax), can’t be taken with any other medicines. Some medicines, including all the ones you mentioned, can cause sedation, which can be worsened if taken together.

As always, your pharmacist is your best friend for questions about medication interactions.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Despite having family history of high cholesterol (including early death due to heart failure), I was told at 53 that my 10­year risk is not alarming. I do not smoke, nor do I drink.

I recently had some tests done and was told

she interacts well with classmates and teachers. She feels things and deeply

that my Lipoprotein(a) level is above normal. I am wondering if that may explain my concern of why, despite keeping a very careful diet over two decades (and a fairly good Mediterranean diet before as well) and an ideal BMI, my figures are not getting better. (I still have a high LDL, low HDL and high triglyceride count.)

After I recovered from COVID, I seemed to have a high pulse and was advised that my stress ECG is positive. I find aerobic exercise very challenging, but I keep active when I can. I tend to be anemic and feel tired very often due to heavy periods, but I take iron supplements.

What should I do concerning my cholesterol in my blood? I am concerned that my high figures may indicate a

cares. She always presents her very best work being very serious about her school work, asking questions if she doesn’t understand. They are proud to have Reagan at the Brownstown Elementary School.

The West Earl Lions see in Reagan the values that Lions support. They are also committed to serve their community and beyond, and wish all a very happy holiday season.

serious silent illness. -M.H.

ANSWER: The 10­year risk is a good place to start in deciding whether elevated cholesterol needs to be treated; however, the 10­year risk does not consider some risk factors, including the high Lp(a), which is an independent risk factor on top of your high LDL and low HDL. The Lp(a) doesn’t affect the other cholesterol numbers.

Diet and exercise do tend to help cholesterol numbers and definitely help reduce heart disease risk, but it is possible to have cholesterol results that are not ideal despite a very good lifestyle.

A positive stress test is a concerning finding and is usually followed up by a definitive test for blockages in the artery, such as an angiogram. The results

of that will absolutely guide your cardiologist as far as further treatment, including whether you need treatment for your cholesterol numbers.

Although statin drugs do not reduce Lp(a), they do reduce the risk of heart disease in people with elevated levels of Lp(a).

I follow the advice of experts who recommend a lower threshold for medication treatment in people with high Lp(a) levels, especially in people with a family history of heart blockages or heart attacks.

On Tuesday, December 13, the Lincoln Fire Company of Ephrata, signed a contract with Glick Fire Equipment Company for Pierce Manufacturing of Appleton, Wisconsin to build a new structural firefighting engine to replace their current Engine 161 which is a 30 year old 1992 Pierce Lance Squrt. The new Engine 161 will be a Pierce on an Enforcer chassis and cab with seating

for seven firefighters. The new engine will feature a 50-foot Snozzle which is an articulated elevated master stream which is capable of flowing up to 1,250 gallons of water per minute. Other features of the new engine are a 2,000 gallon per minute water pump and 700 gallon water tank. The new engine will have additional space to carry a larger amount of firefighting hose than the current engine

and will have additional compartment storage space.

Delivery of the new Engine 161 will be over three years in 2026, at which time the current Engine 161 will be 34 years old.

This new Engine is the first fire apparatus in over 30 years that was researched, specified and ordered by the Lincoln Fire Company. All other fire apparatus since 1992 has been pre-owned

and purchased used or was a pre-built stock unit.

The cost of the new engine will be 1.3 million dollars, making it the largest financial expense ever undertaken by the Lincoln Fire Company.

The new Engine 161 will exceed the firefighting capabilities of the existing Engine. Shown in the photo, from left to right, at the

signing table, are Richard Gehman, Fire Chief; Jake Bachman, Account Manager, Glick Fire Equipment Company; and Richard Ritter, President; along with members of Ephrata Borough Council, as well as fire company members. Shown in the back is the old Engine 161 that will be replaced once the new engine is completed.

Ephrata Church Of The Brethren Mountaineers Table Helping Those In Need

The Mountaineers Table Food Program is designed to supplement families who qualify for reduced or free meals in the Ephrata School District. Countless volunteers from the Ephrata Church of the Brethren work tirelessly week in and out to see that food is available for families in need. This time of year their efforts go deeper yet as they pack extra supplies for baking and they have even gone so far as to provide each child in the program with a personal Christmas present. The program currently serves 80 families, and this year over 177 children will be provided with a present. Summers Trucking provided 110 holiday hams this year and the program is entering its tenth year.

If you have any questions regarding the Mountaineers’ Table or to sign up, please email Stephanie Weber at mountaineerstable@gmail. com.

Shown in the photo are several Summers Trucking employees and volunteers who make the program work.

FROM KING FEATURES WEEKLY SERVICE, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803 CUSTOMER SERVICE: (800) 708-7311 EXT. 257 BIBLE TRIVIA #12345_20221205 FOR RELEASE DEC. 5, 2022 By Wilson Casey

Ronald Buch Good, 87, of Reamstown, passed away peacefully Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at Maple Farm Nursing Center in Akron. Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late Clarence Weitzel & Miriam Jean (Buch) Good.

Ron was a graduate of East Cocalico High School, class of 1953 and attended Franklin & Marshall College before going to Eckels College of Mortuary Science in Philadelphia. Ron first worked as a licensed funeral director for Auman funeral home. In 1967, he joined his mother at Good Funeral Home in Reamstown for 10 years, until his son, Michael joined the family business.

Ron’s entrepreneurial spirit and keen sense for opportunity led him to many business ventures. While working at the funeral home, Ron started Mt. Bethany Co. screenprinting, with partner, Dan Durso. Landing national

accounts with the likes of Exxon, Talbott’s and Hershey’s they became one of the largest screenprinting companies on the east coast. He and business advisor, Walter Detterline, created a division know as Dutch Peddler Gifts where they provided PA Dutch souvenirs throughout the country. They incorporated the screenprinting technique and became one of the largest mass producers of hex signs.

Walter opened Ron’s eyes to travel abroad where they went to many European countries under the guise of gift-buying expeditions. Some other partnerships included the Kutztown Folk Festival, Thunderbird Sportswear, Puffer Inc., and Robbie Robot.

Ron broadened his business ventures upon finding a viable spring on his farm. He partnered with lifelong friend, Jerry Wingenroth. Spring Goose Natural Spring Water Company was marked by a huge goose and provided patrons with the ability to self service spring water.

His knack for collecting brought him to purchase several retired railroad cars

from Conrail which became a newsworthy story due to the logistics of moving them to a fake track which still provides locals with a landmark for direction on 272 in Stevens.

Across the street, he developed one of the area’s first self-storage facilities.

Locker Room Mini Storage provided Ron with what he called his “country club.” Never one for wasting time on sports or non-profitable hobbies, his work remained his passion until he died. His daughter, Beth, started working with him in 1986 and will continue his legacy.

A big believer in the “bloom where you’re planted,” saying, Ron’s greatest love beyond business was his tiny community of Reamstown.

Early on, he served on the committee to establish Reamstown Days which is still held every year in September in his beloved Reamstown Memorial Park. In 2000, he steered a committee to publish a book on the first 250 years of Reamstown history. The proceeds from this book were gifted to the Reamstown Memorial Park for continued beautification and maintenance. This proved to be a most grueling but most rewarding and satisfying venture.

His second city was New Orleans, Louisiana, where his love of music and the arts were nourished. He was a member of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club. He participated in many years of Mardi Gras parades.

He loved his Philadelphia Eagles, CBS Sunday Morning and the New York Times. He appreciated fine dining with close friends always accompanied by his signature Canadian Club.

He was recognized by the mostly unlit cigar hanging from his mouth.

Ron is survived by a son, Michael Tod Good (George

Slow-Cooker Granola Is a Game-Changer

Vegetable Pickles

We’re a granola-eating family. When the tall jar in our pantry reads almost empty, it’s time to stir up and bake a new batch. It’s never a chore, because the fresh homemade taste of hearthealthy oats with nuts and dried fruit always satisfies, whether combined with yogurt and berries at breakfast, or sprinkled over a scoop of ice cream for an evening dessert.

On a recent afternoon when my son texted me to check in, I nimbly replied with sticky fingers, “I’m preoccupied with taking pics of pints of pickled ....” While laughing at the preponderance of P’s, I accidentally pressed “send.” He immediately wrote back, “Pickled PEPPERS? ... ha!”

No wonder I was curious when a friend suggested I make granola in my slow cooker instead of baking it in the oven. Skeptical, I gave it a try and loved the results. In fact, it’s a game-changer.

I stick with my basic recipe that never disappoints. The hand-crafted, economical blend is open to variations, like substituting cashews for the almonds or pecans. When I buy a jug of fresh local maple syrup, I leave out the brown sugar entirely. For variety, I’ll cut up something unusual, like dried persimmons, to toss in at the end with the raisins.

OK, so I may have left the peppers out of this recipe, but keeping with the “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled ...” verse that took us back to his childhood, I simply replied, “perhaps.” Wordplay and food play are interchangeable with kids, no matter their age.

TASTY SLOW-COOKER GRANOLA

Cooking spray or olive oil

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coarsely chopped whole almonds

1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

1/2 cup canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 egg whites, slightly beaten

1/2 cup raisins

1. Prepare the slow cooker: Spray

Preparing pickled veggies this time of year is the perfect antidote for using and enjoying the abundance of fresh, tender and tasty produce in our gardens and markets. You and your kids can create jars full to stack in the refrigerator in less than an hour for a month of tasty sides. Discover, like my family, that the vegetables will be sweet like bread and butter pickles, but will pack more flavor than the traditional grocery-store fare.

Here’s how to “pickle it” all:

24-HOUR PICKLES

Makes 6 pints

For the brine:

5 cups distilled white vinegar

5 cups sugar

2 tablespoons kosher salt

1/4 cup mustard seed

1 tablespoon celery seed

1 tablespoon black peppercorns

6 bay leaves

Fresh dill (optional)

For the vegetables:

3 cucumbers, sliced in discs or quartered lengthwise 6 medium carrots, peeled and quartered lengthwise

2 big handfuls of green beans

1 medium cauliflower, broken into pieces

bottom and sides of a 3-quart or larger slow cooker with the cooking spray, or lightly coat with oil.

2 onions, halved and sliced

2. Combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nuts in the slow cooker.

1. In a saucepan, combine the first six brine ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Stir together the oil, vanilla and egg whites in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and toss well until fully coated.

With no oven heat at all, it will take about two weeks to dry them in a dry place, but not in direct sunlight. You will no doubt be amazed at the dramatic, shrunken transformation!

them names and present an apple-head puppet show by holding onto the stick inside the clothing to maneuver the character.

2. Place the vegetables in a large bowl.

4. Turn slow cooker to high. Set a wooden spoon under one side of the lid to hold the lid open, slightly ajar. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until toasted, stirring mixture well every 30 minutes.

5. Stir in raisins and spread mixture on a baking sheet to cool. Store in jars or in an airtight container. Makes about 6 cups.

3. An adult should pour the hot brine mixture over the vegetables. Cool. Transfer equally to six clean jars, tucking a bay leaf and dill (if you choose) in each one. Screw lids on tightly and place in the refrigerator.

4. Refrigerate for 24 hours before serving. Keep refrigerated and use within one month.

Make Apple-Head Puppets for Fall Fun

Decorate the dried apple head with colorful raffia or ribbon for hair, trinkets for the ears and nose, and painted details for the mouth and cheeks. Gather fabric and tie, or hand-sew, around the top of the stick to make the puppet’s body and clothing. For arms, glue two extra sticks to the main stick, extending outward. Readymade doll clothes and accessories can embellish the look you wish to create, too.

While you are at it, make several puppets, such as a smiling clown, an alien or a princess. Let your kids give

TIP: When not in use, poke the main stick into a block of florist foam so that the puppets stand upright and provide a whimsical decoration for your child’s room.

***

Set Up a Nature Discovery Nook

Set aside a space on your kitchen counter or a table in your family room to showcase your kids’ summer nature collectibles. Their own museum of natural wonders can be enjoyed by friends and family who come to your home. And when they do, the kids can tell them where they found the

treasure, what it’s called and something interesting that captured their imagination. Best of all, this collection zone will be a constant reminder of the time you spent together discovering the mysteries and beauty of the world we live in.

Add collected finds this fall and, for fun, classify and label them with small strips of index cards (date the excursion and describe the item), just like in museums.

For example: “This nest fell off the oak tree in the backyard on a windy day. I found it behind the garbage can. I discovered yarn in the nest. I think the yarn came from the bird feeder that was hanging from our swing set last year.” For such an item, encourage your child to find a book about nests or research them online. Find

out what kind of bird made the nest and learn the likely color of the eggs that were in the nest at one time.

If your family traveled to new places this past summer, or if you plan to take weekend trips this fall, the items can also be displayed in attractive ways on the table. If you have collected sand from different beaches, for example, layer it in a clean, clear recycled jar. It’s fun to see the range of colors and types of sand from beach to beach. And, it’s a unique way to recall a trip to Clearwater Beach, Florida, in 2021 or Santa Monica, California, in 2022.

For indoor rainy-day fun, use some of the sticks and stones for crafting. Here are two ideas:

-- Flat rocks aren’t just for (Continued On Page 10B)

If you find a few soft, bruised apples hiding behind the pickle and mayo jars in the back of your refrigerator, or discover some cast-offs at your local orchard or farmer’s market, consider them perfect for this activity.

NOTE: Substitute brown sugar with 1/2 cup maple syrup, honey or agave syrup, and combine with liquid ingredients before tossing with dry ingredients. In addition to (or instead of) raisins, use your favorite dried fruit, chopped.

GIFT-GIVING TIP: Let kids draw a label to glue to a mason jar. It might say “The Johnsons’ World’s Best Granola.” For a holiday gift, tie a colorful ribbon around the jar.

Peel, carve and dry them for apple-head puppets. And, skip the Botox. The more wrinkles they have, the better!

Here’s the stuff you’ll need for a puppet:

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon salt 1 apple, peeled Wooden ice-cream or craft stick

Pumpkin carving knife or paring knife

Whole cloves, apple seeds, beans or rice to fill facial features

First, stir together the lemon juice and salt in a small bowl. Roll the peeled apple in the lemon mixture until it is completely covered. Remove it and pat dry. Insert a wooden stick into the bottom of the apple.

Hold the stick in your hand and carefully carve out eyes, nose, ears and a mouth. An adult may need to assist younger children with this. Poke cloves or rice into the cutouts to retain the shapes.

Dry the apple in an oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-5 hours. Leave the door slightly ajar. The fruit will harden and shrink as it dries. Or, you may partially ovendry for an hour or two, then let it air-dry for several days.

* Save and clean your prescription bottles; they make a really great container for bobbins. I take a spare piece of thread, ball it up a bit and tape it to the top of the container, too. Then I sit them all in a shoe box. I can see just from the tops which color I need to use. -- L.K. in Alabama

ties. I buy colorful plastic ones at the store or have the kids paint wooden ones. Keep them handy in a pretty bowl on the counter! -- J.B. in Rhode Island

Place two large rubber bands around the outside of the can, one near the top and one near the bottom. Insert branches side by side, as if building a twig fence around the can. Wind twine or raffia over the rubber bands to cover them, and then knot.

* Before you set your new can of shaving cream on the sink edge, take this man tip from me: Borrow a bottle of clear nail polish and paint the bottom rim, extending up a quarter inch. It won’t leave rust rings. Been doing this for years. -- M.W. in New York

* Cut the top off of a soda two liter to use as a

* If you use condiment bottles with a squeeze top, start saving them for snow season! Clean and fill with water, then add a few drops of food coloring. Make several of different colors. You can teach the children how to make different shades by mixing the drops. The kids can take them all out in the snow to “paint.” Be sure to take photos of your temporary art.

* Use a piece of plastic mesh as a sink liner. Dishes set in the sink won’t slide, but the water can still drip away down the drain.

* L.H. in Illinois writes: “Never use a printed paper napkin to wipe off a spill. I once dabbed at a spot on a white tile, which left a stain from the ink.”

* Use clothespins to reseal bread bags instead of twist

* Before planting anything new in your yard, get in touch with your county agriculture agent to find out about any restrictions. You can also get advice on when and where to plant. -- L.H. in Illinois

* When sending cards, attach a return address label to the back so they don’t have to search for the address if they wish to respond. -- D.L. in Minnesota

* For dusting, use a clean tube sock and spray with furniture polish, then dust away! It’s easier to get into nooks and crannies. -- C.F. in Oklahoma

* “I feel the following is the best way to remove lint from the trap on my dryer. After completion of the drying cycle, take the

* A great way to keep tennis shoes and other shoes together: When you take them off, tie the shoes together by the shoestrings (loosely) or connect the two shoes with Velcro straps if they close that way. In doing this, it is much faster and easier to find BOTH shoes when ready to go. Keep smiling! -- J.B. in Virginia

* Halloween can be a spooky good time for children and adults alike, but the cost of costumes can be downright scary. When I was a child, my brother and I dressed as a pirate and a gypsy, respectively, for several years, as they were costumes that could be put together using things you might find around the house. This week, a focus on inexpensive or FREE Halloween costumes. Happy Halloween!

* Be an over-the-top tourist: A loud Hawaiianstyle shirt paired with a pair of shorts, perhaps socks with sandals? Carry a camera on a strap around your neck. Use a small carry-on bag as your treat bag, or decorate a paper sack by gluing on squares cut from a map.

* Be Static Cling! Use safety pins to pin a variety of small items to your outfit -- think socks, scarves, even a pair of undies if you dare! Tease hair until it’s standing straight up, and use hairspray to keep it that way.

* Get your hands on a large, clear plastic bag and some small colorful balloons. Cut leg and arm holes in the bag, with the opening side up (it will be secured at your neck). Blow up the balloons and fill the bag while you’re wearing it. Secure loosely at your neck with a pretty ribbon, and you’re an instant Bag of Jelly Beans. Make a sign to

* “A tip for banana peels: Dry until crispy and break into small pieces. Put in blender and blend to powder. Store in an airtight container to sprinkle around base of houseplants before watering. Orchids love them -- it’s great free fertilizer.” -B.C. in New Hampshire

* “Unmatched socks are handy-dandy cleaners and have so many uses. Keep one by the dryer to get all the lint off the trap. Shake it out or pop it into the wash when needed.

* If you have lots of outdoor or feral cats in your area, here is some good advice, given to me by my grandmother: Start your car with a bang -- on the hood, that is. When the overnight temperature dips, cats know to find someplace that is wind-shielded and off the ground, and sometimes that means they will climb up into your engine area to hunker down. If your car starts while they’re there, they can be hurt or even killed. Give the hood a good knock to let a cat know to get out quick. -- JoAnn

* “After you’ve cleaned out the gliders of your sliding-glass door, run over the parts with a little paraffin wax. It will protect the moving parts and quiet the door.” -- P.J. in Oregon

* If you have trouble threading a needle because the fibers seem to go in all directions, here’s a tip from T.I. in Illinois: Stiffen the end of thread with hairspray before threading a needle.

* A border collie named Saul took a leaf out of another (albeit fictional) canine’s book, being praised as a “real-life Lassie” when he led two members of a search party to his owner after the man was injured on a hike.

* Nutmeg can produce a hallucinogenic effect if taken in a high enough quantity.

* It’s not just trees that help provide us humans with oxygen -- about half of that in our atmosphere is a byproduct of photosynthesis from the microscopic sea algae known as phytoplankton.

* Rhubarb grows so fast you can actually hear it!

* Legend holds that when a pope dies, it’s the custom to strike him on the head three times with a silver hammer to ensure he’s really deceased.

* A survey revealed that nearly half of the unmarried gents polled washed their bedsheets a mere four times a year, instead of the recommended once per week. Singletons, there may be a lesson in there.

* Less than 14% of all M&Ms candies are brown.

* May never begins or ends on the same day of the week as any other month in

any given year.

* Proof that crime doesn’t pay ... even in space! Earlier this year, Canada passed a law allowing prosecution of crimes committed by the country’s astronauts on the moon or on their way to it.

* The greatest number of people to play a single piano simultaneously is 23.

* For a reasonable $19.95, you too can buy alien abduction insurance from a Florida agent. Of course, to cash it in, you’ll need to hand over a signature from an “authorized, on-board alien,” and who knows if they can even write in English?

* Those of us who have a little difficulty successfully sealing wraps, gyros or burritos are at last in luck, thanks to a group of female engineering students who came up with a solution called Tastee Tape. It will hold your food nicely in place during cooking or consumption. And yes, it is an edible tape.

* Only humans have chins.

* Ladybugs are cute, but they’re also cannibals. These tiny spotted creatures will, if need be, eat fertilized ladybug eggs, ladybug larvae and even other adult ladybugs.

* Do you know someone who really loves to tell jokes? Here’s hoping they aren’t suffering from a rare syndrome known

as Witzelsucht, or joke addiction, affecting certain folks with an injury to their brain’s right hemisphere. One such patient couldn’t stop waking his poor wife in the middle of the night to share his jokes with her.

* The longest eyelash on record reached a length of 2.75 inches and belonged to one Stuart Muller, who attributed the record-setting strand to a “mutant follicle.”

* When the German football club FC Union Berlin faced bankruptcy in 2004, its loyal fans donated enough blood en masse that sufficient funds were raised to save it.

* King Charles III will receive his crown while sitting on a throne containing the Stone of Destiny, a rock that was stolen from Scotland in 1296 and carried to Westminster Abbey by King

Edward I, then returned to Scotland 700 years later. But why is it significant, other than its feature in a royal coronation? It is said to be the stone on which the biblical Jacob rested his head when he dreamed of a ladder ascending to heaven!

* Boxing heavyweight champion Jack Johnson invented the household wrench in 1922.

* The movie title “Death Wish III” was changed to “Death Wish 3” after a survey conducted by the Cannon Group revealed that nearly half of Americans couldn’t read Roman numerals.

* Tom Hanks’ brother

Jim voices “Toy Story’s” Woody when his sibling is too busy.

* A hat that doubles as a weapon? Sure, if you’re a gum-leaf skeletonizer caterpillar, which wears its old molted heads on top of its noggin and uses them to bat away predators!

* The human jaw can clench with 250 pounds of force.

* Those chocolatecovered caramel candies we fondly know as Milk Duds were originally intended to be perfectly round. But when machines in 1928 couldn’t produce them consistently, the misshaped goodies were called “duds,” hence their unusual name.

* From the “nothing like planning ahead” files: CNN has prepared a doomsday video, to be played by the last surviving employee. In 2009, a former intern posted the footage online. It shows a low-resolution video of a U.S. Army band playing a mournful rendition of “Nearer My God to Thee.”

* The center of the Milky Way tastes like raspberries and smells like rum.

* In the 1970s, Chrysler advertised its luxury cars as containing “Corinthian leather.” But spokesman

Ricardo Montalban admitted on “Late Night with David Letterman” that the term really meant nothing, as said leather was actually sourced out of New Jersey.

* Romania’s Movile Cave, isolated from the outside world for more than 5 million years, contains more than 30 species not found anywhere else on Earth.

* In the 1700s, “bitch the pot” or “standing bitch” was English slang for hosting a tea party.

* Because we know you’ve always secretly wondered, that depression on the flexure of your arm is called a chelidon.

* In 1992, Saab created a prototype vehicle called Prometheus that featured a joystick in place of a steering wheel. While it increased safety and space, it also proved more tiring and challenging to use, and the car never made it to production.

Thought for the Day: “The history of Western science confirms the aphorism that the great menace to progress is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge.” -Daniel J. Boorstin

What’s Pocillovy?

Coin-Operated Scale

Most of us diet and check our weight, but the days of tall scales sitting on a street corner waiting for someone to put a penny in the slot and step on the scale are almost gone.

It was during the 1920s and ‘30s that coin-operated scales were important. The first pedestrian coin scales were made in Germany in 1885, and by 1889, the National Scale Company was manufacturing them in the United States. In 1929, Peerless Scale Company, the largest in the U.S., was worth over $50 million (much more if you think in terms of 2022 dollars).

You’ve heard of philately (stamp collecting) and numismatics (collecting currency and medals), but what about pocillovy? Derived from the Latin words for “little cup” and “egg,” “pocillovy” is the word for collecting eggcups. Eggcups are said to have originated in France. King Louis XV (1715-1774) made them popular. Later, they made their way into Victorian dinner services, where nearly every type of food had its own specialized dish and utensils.

British manufacturers

The pennies were enough. A scale in a good location earned about $1,000 a year. By the 1930s there were new incentives to spend a penny. The scale supplied a ticket with your weight printed on it. The tickets added fortunes, and people collected sets. But the fad didn’t last and by the 1940s there were barely a third of the scales still left. The personal bathroom scale had replaced almost all of them.

Collectors ignored the old scales at first, but by the 1970s, there were collectors who bought the Peerless scales and others, and especially figural scales like an iron Mr. Peanut. Mr. Peanut scales were created in 1951.

There were only 65 ever made — one for each of Planters Stores.

The scale pictured measures weights from 25 pounds to 275 pounds. It sold at a Cowan auction for $344. ***

quickly realized that these small ceramic cups would make excellent souvenirs, and people started collecting them.

do sell it, can I legally ship it to the buyer?

A:The value is in the collectible container and its packaging, not its contents. It is likely a special decanter bottle, probably a Christmas special, which makes it more collectible than a regular decanter. Park Lane Canadian Whisky has been discontinued. Laws vary from state to state on selling whiskey. But you could sell an empty bottle and box.

This 1920s mirrored scale was made of iron and porcelain by Peerless Weighing Machine Company.

It was designed by FrancoisXavier Lalanne, a 20thcentury French sculptor, whose designs were often made to look like animals. His playful, modernist style is seen in the plain white color and stylized features of the eggcup.

Q: About 20 years ago, my wife and I inherited a grandfather clock. It’s about 7 1/2 feet tall. Part of the upper face of the clock rotates around with different scenes as the time ticks off. At the very top of the face are the words “A. Willard Boston.” The clock is wound with a key that raises two weights. It needs to be wound once a week and keeps pretty good time. Its gongs match each hour. Can you give us any information on this clock?

A: Three generations of the Willard family made clocks. Benjamin Willard learned how to make clocks and opened a workshop on his farm in Massachusetts in the 1740s, where his four sons, Benjamin Jr., Simon, Aaron and Ephraim, learned clockmaking. The three older brothers opened shops in Boston: Benjamin Jr. in 1770, Aaron in 1785 and Simon in 1788. Simon was the most well-known and patented several inventions, including the banjo clock. Aaron, the maker of your clock, made hundreds of banjo clocks, shelf clocks and tall case clocks. They sell at auctions for a few hundred to several thousand dollars. If you’re thinking of selling your clock, you should contact an auction house that sells grandfather clocks or a shop that sells expensive clocks. The rotating dial with scenes adds extra value, so your clock should sell for a high price.

* * *

TIP: Tradition says the best place in a home for a grandfather clock is where it can be seen as soon as you enter the house.

Eshleman

Hinkletown Mennonite

Cole Eshleman 8th Grade

Cole Eshleman is a student at Hinkletown Mennonite School. He is in 8th grade and enjoys playing the trombone and is even in the Senior Band at school. His parents are Megan and Christopher Eshleman. He has one sibling and three dogs that he enjoys playing with.

Cole does not take a liking to sports, so he takes an interest in video games, photography, and cars. Cole enjoys cars and hopes to be a mechanic someday.

He hopes to be a mechanic when he grows up and work on cars. He is currently working on an engine with his dad in his basement. His dad found and bought the engine and it was not working, so he and his dad started working on it to fix it! He is enjoying working on this project with his dad and hopes it will work. Cole’s favorite kind of car is a Dodge. He took an interest in cars when his dad bought a Dodge and he took a liking to them. Cole’s dream of being a mechanic is strong, and he probably will continue his love of cars. He hopes to get a job at a car dealership to learn more about doing what he loves.

In the end, Cole is a great student who enjoys many things and enjoys being a part of his school’s music program and helping others. He is a great addition to Hinkletown Mennonite School and an awesome student.

Brodrick Smucker

10th Grade

Brodrick Smucker is a sophomore at Ephrata Mennonite School, he has been going to EMS since ninth grade. A couple of his favorite things about school are the sports and friends, but definitely not the homework. He participates in some extracurricular activities, including basketball and potentially volleyball in April. Moving on to the after school life, he is hoping to work for his dad at Smucker Propane. His favorite after school activities are playing basketball, watching youtube, and of course sleeping. He attends New Covenant Church which he thoroughly enjoys. One of his favorite hobbies that he likes to do is hunting, especially archery in the fall. One way Brodrick would change the world is by changing the people that are selfish and live for themselves and not others. One of his biggest accomplishments in life is buying a dog that he can take care of and make some money off of. His favorite class in school is consumer math. Why? Because of the people in the class, it’s more of an easier math for people to learn. One of the people he admires is Mateo Martin, who is actually in eleventh grade this year at Ephrata Mennonite School.
