TONE TAILORS
Tone Tailors opened its doors in downtown Lancaster in March of 2015. After establishing themselves as a beacon of light for musicians in the area, in September of 2017 they moved their store to Lititz, Pa. to take advantage of their new location’s proximity to the recently-constructed Rock Lititz Plaza. The new 4,000-square foot space inside of Pod #2 of the humongous plaza is triple the size of the original store, and enabled owners John Paul “JP” Painton and John LeClair to expand their guitar inventory dramatically, along with allowing the pair to stock a gigantic stock of other musical instruments such as drums, keyboards, amplifiers, accessories and more. Co-owner Painton likes to state that Tone Tailors’ ability to listen to the constant feedback of their customers, and take that feedback to heart in order to provide the best service possible is what makes them stand apart from the competition. Co-owner LeClair explains that with their spacious shop, enormous inventory, and knowledgeable staff he truly feels the store can live up to it’s alliterative, descriptive name. Now, two and a half years after the move to Lititz, Tone Tailors has established themselves as the premier music shop in all of Lancaster County. They feature equipment from guitar makers like Fender and Martin, and have created a special niche for local musicians by featuring the most expansive line of effects pedals one could imagine. They also carry a huge amount of accessories such as guitar strings, cables, straps, tuners and more. Need work on one of your guitars? Let one of their accomplished repairmen get your guitar or bass working and looking new again.

Tree removal and trimming can be dangerous and serious work if not done properly. Why attempt to do it yourself and end up damaging property or even worse, injuring yourself? Call the professionals at Martin Tree Service. Jeff Martin is the owner of the business and has 30 years of experience. Several long-term employees have been with the company a majority of those years. Safety is one of our top priorities at Martin Tree. Part of safety is to maintain equipment correctly and often. That is why we staff a full-time mechanic to maintain all our equipment, from the crane down to the chain saws. Another part of safety is to have the crews work with each other day after day. We are able to do that by having a crane, log truck and bucket trucks operated by trained staff. Martin Tree Service offers several options for tree work, from basic take-down to complete clean up. The basic take-down is great for the do-it-yourself type individual. We do the dangerous part by safely getting the tree on the ground for the homeowner, so they can clean up the tree themselves. Another option is for us to take down the tree, chip it and haul it away. Our final option is the premium package. In this package we not only remove the tree completely, we also grind the stump, clean up the grindings, fill the hole with topsoil and plant grass seed. All that is left for the homeowner to do is to water the grass. Martin Tree Service is located in New Holland, Lancaster County, but we service Berks and Chester County as well. We are fully insured and qualified to take care of all your tree work needs. Wood chips and different species of firewood logs are also available for sale and delivery as needed. The office is staffed full-time Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and can be reached at 717-354-5939 or text only at 717-405-1323.

SHANK DOOR COMPANY
The Shank Door Company is happily celebrating 56 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 60 people, Shank Door maintains 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 717-738-4499. You may also view their website at www.shankdoor.com for more information. Their hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 24-hour emergency service is available.

AFP ADVANCED FOOD PRODUCTS LLC
AFP advanced food products llc is one of North America’s leading aseptic private label/co-pack food manufacturers of innovative, shelf-stable cheese sauces, dips, puddings, sauces and soups. As a result of our seasoned employees and thriving workplace environment, we consistently provide the best value and service to our customers.
Making its start in the 1940s, AFP is a pioneer in aseptic manufacturing and has been using aseptic food processing methods since 1951. Aseptic technology uses ultra-high temperatures and a short heating time to preserve freshness and nutrition. The product and the packaging are sterilized separately and then combined and sealed in a sterilized atmosphere. This process extends shelf life and does not require the use of preservatives. At AFP we have been experiencing sustained growth and continual expansion. One of the most notable changes in our industry has been the increased difficulty in staffing. With unemployment so low in Lancaster County, finding employees with the necessary skills is increasingly competitive. Our company provides the perfect setting for qualified job seekers wanting to join us in this far-reaching industry. Due to our expansion, AFP currently has many job opportunities in maintenance, packaging, processing and sanitation positions. We are working with the Chamber of Commerce and the Workforce Development Board on ways to change the perception that manufacturing is a dead-end job. AFP is working towards changing the conversation at schools and with parents about the viability of these skilled jobs. This is a national issue that is being faced by many companies. We are committed to being proactive and coordinating our efforts within the community in order to build a strong economic basis for Lancaster County. With three strategically located facilities—in New Holland, Pennsylvania, Clear Lake, Wisconsin and Visalia, California—our triangulated placement gives us access to convenient distribution channels nationally and internationally. We offer our customers unrivaled logistical advantages regardless of size or industry. AFP is continually striving to improve the way we do things so we can create a better environment and continue our long-lasting expansion. We are committed to fostering proactive and innovative leadership, delivering market-driven solutions and adding value through dedication to our customers’ success.

THE ROBERT M. LOMBARD HYPERBARIC OXYGENATION MEDICAL CENTER, INC.
Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy is a prescribed medical treatment. A patient breathes pure oxygen while sitting or lying in a sealed chamber while the surrounding atmospheric pressure is increased to a therapeutic level. The increase in atmospheric pressure dissolves oxygen into all the fluids of the body. This jump-starts healing through physical changes, builds tiny new blood vessels, boosts stem cell production, boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation and low oxygen areas in the body, and adversely affects many microbes. The treatment triggers hundreds of internal biological processes which can have a positive impact on a wide range of diagnoses or conditions. Non-healing diabetic wounds, radiation-induced injuries, and osteomyelitis, among other maladies, can be healed with minimal surgical intervention. Other diagnoses can be positively helped with hyperbaric oxygen when traditional medicine needs a boost. For instance, when antibiotics can’t cure a person of Lyme disease, the Lyme bacteria may be deeply burrowed into body tissue where antibiotics can’t kill it. But studies show Lyme bacteria can’t survive in high concentrations of oxygen. Under hyperbaric oxygen conditions, the bacteria is killed, the boosted immune system cleans up the dead bacteria, and the body begins to repair the damage done by the bacteria. There are many conditions where a temporary increase in the amount of oxygen circulating deep within tissues has an overall beneficial effect over time. Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy can be life changing for patients. The Robert M. Lombard Hyperbaric Oxygenation Medical Center is an outpatient clinic that uses 100% oxygen in monoplace chambers. The Nursing Director, Connie Waltz RN, has over 40 years of experience in the field, and the certified staff has more than 20 years of hyperbaric experience. For information, please visit the website: www.hboxygen.com, email: hboxygen@earthlink.net, or call 717-684-3228. Business hours are Monday through Friday, by appointment only. The clinic is located at 255 N. 6th Street, Columbia, PA.

GINGRICH BUILDERS
In the early 1970s, Gingrich Builders started building log home kits for dealers. Realizing there was an opportunity to market custom log homes, they needed to fill this niche in Lancaster and surrounding counties. Gingrich Builders began marketing their own home packages. For more than 45 years, Gingrich Builders has been a family-owned and operated business. Mervin Gingrich founded the company in 1974 and in 2015 he retired and now his sons Bruce, Todd and Tim continue the legacy of building custom log homes, material sales as well as maintenance and restoration service. Gingrich Builders design and build their homes from solid pine or cedar wood. A hybrid option is also available; utilizing a 2x6 core wall with log siding veneer. This gives the customer the option of either pine boards or drywall on the home’s interior. Gingrich Builders offers double tongue and grooved logs and saddle notch corners in various profiles. Additionally, they use kiln dried timbers that are milled locally and handcrafted for each custom home. Gingrich Builders stands out from their competition in many ways. The most notable difference is their ability to control the quality of their homes beginning with the raw materials through completion of each home. This allows the customer to work side by side with the contractor through the entire process. “We won’t sell you a log home package and send you to someone else to build it. We will work with you from the design process through completion” They have recently expanded their exterior maintenance division of their business, Cabin Care LLC. Cabin Care is a full-service Sashco dealer where you are able to purchase Sascho’s log home supplies at their office. Cabin Care will ship Sascho products to homeowners and contractors if they are unable to visit their location. Cabin Care is also equipped to handle any maintenance your log home may need. Cabin Care offers hot water pressure washing, an important first step in the staining process. Furthermore, a complete exterior inspection of the home and any needed repairs will be done prior to staining. These services come with many years of trusted expertise so their customers can have confidence in a properly-maintained log home. Gingrich Builders welcomes you to visit their model home located at 1971 W. Main Street, Ephrata. Office hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m., or by appointment.

RABER’S TIRE
According to John Raber, running a small business that is family owned and operated is the only way to go. When Raber’s Tire opened their doors in 2008, John and his son Jarren worked together to do whatever it took to bring customers satisfaction. Their dedication to this principle caused the business to grow in leaps and bounds, bringing John and Jarren to the point where they couldn’t keep up anymore. John decided to hire his nephew, Jeff Mast. With the help of another family member, Raber’s Tire is ready to help and satisfy even more customers, without having to sacrifice their desire to remain family owned and operated. John started his career at the age of 21 in a family owned and operated retail tire shop. The business was owned by John’s brotherin-law. “It’s been a blessing to work with family members,” comments John. For three years, John continued to work with his brother-inlaw as a shop foreman. In 1997, John opened his own tire shop (L-R): Justin, Levi, Johny, John, Jarren, Ray and Rich. in Cambridge, Ohio. Under the clear leading of God, John and his family moved to Ephrata in 2008. Raber’s Tire opened in the spring of the same year. Upon opening, John wanted to reflect his family’s desire to honor and glorify God in everything they did, including changing tires. This desire hasn’t changed as they still seek to serve Him, as they serve you. They thank and glorify God for prospering His business abundantly. John characterizes the tire business as hard work, but also very satisfying and enjoyable. He always looks forward to the next day at work. “Big and small, we do them all” describes the tire inventory available to customers. Passenger, light truck, farm, lawn and semi-tires are available for purchase. Raber’s features Yokohama brand tires.

ZERBE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY
Zerbe Retirement Community was founded in 1958. Sisters Dot and Sis Zerbe and Ann Zerbe Good, along with Ann’s husband, Curly (Omar) Good, began caring for elderly people in their farmhouse in Bowmansville, PA. Dot, Sis and Ann became Licensed Practical Nurses in 1960 when they realized their hospitality services were transforming into a legitimate business. They then moved to their current location in Narvon. They felt deep in their hearts that God led them to this vocation and location, and they were happy to serve the Lord in this fashion. When the time came that the sisters were not able to run the business anymore, their niece, Nancy Caffrey Schafer, stepped into the leadership role. Now, 62 years after Zerbe Retirement Community’s humble beginnings, Nancy Caffrey Schafer has passed on the torch to her son, current CEO Dan Caffrey. Caffrey has proudly carried it into the next generation, expounding on the values and legacy of compassion originated by the sisters. Caffrey has been a part of the Zerbe Retirement Community since he was a boy, working in L-R: (front) Stephanie Erb, Jenny Eagler, Amy Epting, Heather Rees; (middle) Lisa Kready, the maintenance department at the age of 14. In fact, after all these Annalisa Stoltzfus, Jennifer Weitzel, Alice Rowan, Jasmeng Lo; (back) Erin Hall, Matt Minch, years, you might still catch Caffrey in the maintenance department Charles Trimble, Danny Jones, Anthony Ziolkowski and Sam Kulp. helping out where needed. Caffrey states that Zerbe Retirement Community was founded upon strong family values, and over a half-century later the business still exemplifies these values by committing to the wardship and service of their residents with the utmost care and compassion. Caffrey credits his success to Zerbe Retirement Community’s outstanding leadership team and their amazing staff members, who are dedicated to the well-being of their residents. There are many factors that set Zerbe Retirement Community apart from other, similar businesses in the area. One of these factors is the size of the current site. It’s smaller than other facilities in the area, which gives it a “down home“ quality. The quaint size enables the staff to give many different levels of care, whether in the main housing unit on the campus, or in the 58 independent cottages. Plus, the quiet, country location is hard to beat! They are a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) and have consistently passed their state inspections in the Skilled Nursing Center and Harvest View Personal Care categories with zero deficiencies and are rated a 5 star facility. Director of Independent Living Lynne Bickta states that she and many other staff members get a great amount of satisfaction from helping people live happy and comfortable lives. Bickta points out that lifelong friendships are established here between staff and residents alike, and that she believes Zerbe Retirement Community is truly an amazing place to work. Bickta likes to share the testimonials of some of Zerbe Retirement Community’s residents with others to show the level of satisfaction Zerbe Retirement Community instills in people. Here is one of her favorites, written by Ruth Heimer: “My husband did not want to come to Zerbe Retirement Community until he saw the huge basement. He created his dream wood shop in his half of the basement. I have enjoyed the quiet location, ease of living, good friends, the large rooms and my flower gardens.” Zerbe Retirement Community is located at 2499 Zerbe Road, Narvon, PA 17555.

SOLID FLUE CHIMNEY SAVERS
Did you know that many house fires start as a result of a poorly functioning and unsafe chimney? Carbon monoxide can also leak into your home through damaged and deteriorated liners. Solid Flue Chimney Savers are able to restore your chimney back to safe, working order without a complete teardown of the chimney. They have several relining options to choose from depending on the situation. Solid Flue is a unique chimney lining system ideally suited to reline and restore old, damaged or worn out chimney flues. Solid Flue is a registered and patented trade name with a network of chimney lining professionals. It was featured on the TV show, “This Old House,” many times. Through a unique process, a properly sized rubber bladder is dropped down the chimney and spaced evenly, and then a patented solid flue material is poured around the formers and left overnight to properly cure. Solid Flue is a zero clearance liner meaning heat doesn’t transfer through the liner to combustible materials surrounding the chimney. The liner comes with a lifetime warranty. Solid Flue can also reline your existing masonry chimney with a flexible stainless steel liner. This liner, depending on the severity of the damage, may be an option. This liner also comes with a lifetime warranty. Solid Flue Chimney Savers was started in 1990 by Mark Federer, whose experience includes stone and brick masonry and roofing. Over the years, the company has seen a rising trend towards more wood and pellet heating systems being used as alternative heat sources. Solid Flue Chimney Savers can also perform camera inspections to verify the condition of the flue, masonry repairs and installation of accessories like caps and air sealing top mounted dampers, making sure chimneys are safe for families to use. They are capable of bringing new life to chimneys that are new or more than 200 years old. They are also specialized in working with insurance claims resulting from chimney fires, lightning strikes, wind and other storm-related damage.

They have also become well known throughout the contractor world for their Clean/Selective Demolition. Darlene Eager, Owner, has been in the business for 18 years. She has put together an amazing team who shares her love of the business as well as her love of helping and caring for people. Do you suspect mold growth in your home or business? Are you worried about the possible impact it may have on the health of your family? There is a lot of misinformation about mold and scare tactics that are used by other companies. DC Eager would love the opportunity to educate you on YOUR situation, as each condition is unique. If you suspect mold is present, there are a few necessary things you must know while waiting for DC Eager to assess your home. First, locate and fix the source of the moisture which has caused the mold to grow and spread. As where there is moisture, there will be mold, the moisture must be removed or the mold will just grow back. Second, there is no magic potion that you spray on mold and it just disappears. Bleach does not kill mold. Bleach will whiten mold staining just as it does with your laundry but the mold itself will still be there. If a mold remediation is done correctly, there is no need for chemicals. And lastly, do not wipe the mold or introduce air movement directly onto the affected area as this can promote the spreading of mold to other areas of the home or business. Hiring DC Eager, who is a certified, reputable, experienced and professional mold remediation company is your best option. You cannot just ignore mold, it won’t just go away, but it can get worse. Everyone at DC Eager is passionate about what they do and want to make sure their customers are educated and their experiences are stress free. If you or anyone you know needs the services of DC Eager Emergency Services, LLC, please feel free to call Darlene at 717-989-5763 for a FREE assessment/estimate.
