A Faith-Filled Journey to 100

BY CAT SHANNON

Ask Lester Martin his secret for living to be 100 years old, and you won’t get an answer like “eating well,” “staying active” or “having good luck.”

“Luck has nothing to do with it!” Lester said. “The fact that God is with me is what has kept me going. God has inspired me and given me direction lots of times. That’s how I got to be 100!”

Lester marked his century birthday with a party on Saturday, July 26, at Mount Joy Country Homes, where he has resided since 2009.

More than 120 people were in attendance, including family members and friends who had traveled from as far away as California and Texas to celebrate.

Lester had insisted on no gifts, but his son Lyle crafted a box with a picture of the family’s homestead on it and collected 100 cards. In a unique way to mark the occasion, Lester’s daughter Wanda held up a sign that read “2025” before removing the first 2 on the sign and adding a decimal point. She challenged the room to decipher the significance of the new sign, now reading “0.025,” in relation to my wife, Martha. She became my everything. Through her I got to know a builder. He was looking for some good Christian men to form a gang to build houses,” Lester recalled, noting that the builder had hundreds of small houses to construct. “He took me on and introduced me to building, and I put everything I had into it.” Lester went on to start his own business, L.L. Martin Builders Inc. One of the custom homes he built was featured in an edition of “Builder Magazine,” which was a

real “feather in my cap,” as Lester described in his memoir “My God and I,” which was distributed to family members and friends in 2024.

Lester and Martha married in 1947 when he was 22 years old. Together, they raised four children - two boys, Dick and Lyle, and two girls, Sandy and Wanda. Lester has eight grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.

After only two years of living in the custom home Lester built for Martha and himself to live out

Lancaster CPR Trains People To Save Lives

BY JEFF FALK

Knowing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is kind of like having insurance. You hope you never have to use it, but there’s a peace of mind associated with knowing it’s there if you ever do.

The act of CPR is also one of the highest forms of respect and empathy that one human being can display for another.

“Because the investment of time and energy that it takes to learn it is very small, everyone should know it,” said Ken Brennan, an emergency medical technician (EMT), a CPR and first aid instructor and the owner of Lancaster CPR. “Everyone knows someone who’s going to need CPR. I think a lot of people feel if they need 911, they’re going to get help in seconds. But that’s not true. If a patient doesn’t survive long enough, emergency medical services can’t do their job.”

Located at 1248 W. Main St., Suite L-1, Ephrata, Lancaster CPR offers instruction in the life-changing and life-altering practices of advanced cardiac support, pediatric advanced life support, first aid and CPR. In association with the American Heart Association, Lancaster CPR primarily trains health care professionals, but it also offers instruction to groups, churches, businesses, organizations and individuals.

“We predominantly provide the training that health care workers need to do their jobs,” said Ken. “They need to be recertified every two years. Obviously, if you work in health care, the odds are much higher that you’re going to use it.

Fun and Farming at the Fair

BY CAT SHANNON

When the Elizabethtown Fair returns to town this year, visitors will be treated to a variety of new attractions and lots of familiar favorites.

The fair will run from Monday, Aug. 18, through Saturday, Aug. 23, at 900 E. High St., Elizabethtown. Hours will be 5 to 11 p.m. on Monday and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. the rest of the week. Rides will operate from 6 to 11 p.m. on Monday; from 2

to 11 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19, through Friday, Aug. 22; and from noon to 11 p.m. on Saturday. New this year, prior to the official fair opening, West Green Tree Church of the Brethren will host a community worship service at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17, on the fairgrounds.

New activities this year will include Circus Incredible, Ryan and Friends ventriloquist act, Choo Choo Barn mobile experience train display, the return of

hatching chicks, an American 250 PA apron contest and an inflatable costume race.

Some of the returning favorites include Mike Bishop Hypnotist, Uptown Band, Mars Wrigley, Discover Ag and many food favorites.

“The fair showcases agriculture and the talents and products of Elizabethtown and surrounding communities - lots of great exhibits, competitions, free entertainment and food!” shared Sally Nolt, fair secretary.

cial mission statement is, “to promote educational activities for all ages involving agriculture, creativity, community involvement, spirit and pride in an atmosphere conducive to wholesome family fun.”

The fair may only run for one week a year, but it has a deep impact on a variety of groups, individuals and organizations, Nolt said.

“Many churches and organizations use the fair as their primary fundraiser,” she said. “(That) money is funneled back into the community.”

The fair also serves as a

SAFE STORAGE LIVES Saves

Protecting children starts at home. Secure your firearms to prevent

In Lancaster County, firearms are the leading cause of suicide

among children. Nationally, they are the number one cause of pediatric death. Even when warned, children are naturally curious—and that curiosity can be fatal. Studies show that suicide rates are four times higher in homes with firearms. But there’s something you can do: store firearms safely.

• Always keep firearms in a locked safe or lockbox.

• Ensure they are unloaded and secured.

• Store ammunition separately and securely.

• Use cable locks or gun cases to prevent unauthorized access.

Depending on what you do, you’ll probably use it twice in your life. For the general public, I’d say the odds are one in 100 that you’re going to use it. But when you’re dealing with a large group of people, heart attacks are going to be more common.”

Lancaster CPR offers first aid training at its full classroom facility three days a week. The organization also offers on-site training for corporations or nonprofits.

Typically, Lancaster CPR’s class sizes range from six to 30 individuals.

“Let’s say you find someone on the ground,” said Ken. “The first thing you have to do is make sure it’s safe for you. Then you tap the person on the shoulder, and if they don’t respond, you call for help, get someone to call 911 and try to get an AED (automated external defibrillator). You

might check their breathing, and you might check their pulse. If you have to, start doing compressions on their chest, and decide if you want to give breaths.”

“It’s easy to learn,” continued Ken. “What it comes down to is doing compressions on the chest. If you’re doing something that resembles compressions, the person’s chances are better than zero. If you’re learning the basics of CPR, it only takes a half hour. But not everyone wants to learn to do this.”

One of the keys to successfully administering CPR is immediacy and a sense of urgency.

“There’s a very short window of opportunity, usually two to three minutes when someone goes into cardiac arrest,” said Ken. “The more people who know CPR, the more likely we’re going to be able to

save lives. It should take less than 20 seconds to determine if CPR is necessary.”

“Among the general public, about one in 500 people have taken a course,” added Ken. “But if someone has been trained in CPR in high school, they don’t really know anything now. That’s why it’s important to update it.”

Ken originally started teaching CPR at Lancaster General Hospital. After he left the hospital, he began offering CPR instruction on his own, before he and his wife, Ashley Brennan,

Library Event To Honor Miss Jan

Milanof-Schock Library (MSL) invites the community to Miss Jan’s Retirement Party and End-of-Summer Bash on Saturday, Aug. 16, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Miss Jan will have her last story time at the library at 12:15 p.m. Other activities on Aug. 16 will include music by Nick DiSanto OneMan Band and The String Sisters; balloon creations by Balunguy; face painting and temporary tattoos; yard games and a bubble machine; food trucks, including Spud Muffin and Mountain Mug Coffee; and Maggie Bird and Friend Alan.

Jan Betty, a.k.a. Miss Jan, began her library story times as a volunteer in the 1990s, when the library was in an old store front on Main Street. She took on the role as the director of children and youth in 1999, shortly after the library moved to its current location on Anderson Ferry Road. She did not have a library background, graduating from Penn State with degrees in theater performance and musical vocal performance, making her the perfect person to educate and entertain children.

A big part of Jan’s work at the library included outreach. She worked with Donegal High School (DHS) Key Club and the Donegal Junior High School Builders

Club. She has had story times at the Donegal Kindergarten Center, Donegal Primary School, Kraybill Mennonite School, the East Donegal Township building, in the old First National Bank building in Marietta, Kinderhook Early Learning Center and a variety of nursery schools that have since closed.

In 2010, Jan organized the national “Read for the Record” early literacy campaign at a local level by teaming up with DHS teachers to have various high school students read to the younger children in other district buildings.

She was the library representative at the annual town Winterfests and at school

district open houses, and she wrote a new skit every year to promote the library’s Summer Reading Program, which she performed with the teachers.

For many years, Miss Jan donned makeup and a cat suit to become The Cat in the Hat at the library’s annual “Green Eggs & Ham” breakfast. She was the beloved “Senorita Juanita” to her homeschool Spanish groups, and she was a master at doing videos on the fly, known to the library’s social media manager as “One-Take Jan.”

Never afraid of being silly, Jan loved throwing on a crazy hat, colorful feather boa or fun outfit for her programs, and she was even

founded Lancaster CPR in 2015.

“There was a lot of demand not being met, and that’s sort of how we got started,” said Ken. “I started doing it myself on the side. The classes were relatively successful, and we just went from there. The business success hasn’t changed because we were in the right place, at the right time, at the right location, under the right circumstances.”

open to getting a pie in the face at a library benefit auction. Her creativity and love of the library was also on display every year during the Mount Joy Memorial Day parades, and her decorated floats often won a prize.

In 2018, Jan received the Service Award for outstanding service to her public library with exemplified excellence in serving the community’s library. She was presented the award by MSL’s former director, Barbara Basile.

Shop for Free at God’s Clothing Closet

BY CAT SHANNON

“This is a great way to get some new-to-you clothing,” said Kris Gray, describing God’s Clothing Closet. “You don’t have to be ‘needy.’ Everybody is welcome.”

The 25th annual God’s Clothing Closet, featuring free clothing, footwear and accessories for people of all ages, will be held on Friday, Aug. 22, and Saturday, Aug. 23, at Ruhl’s Church, 4810 Elizabethtown Road, Manheim. Friday’s event will be held from 3 to 6:30 p.m. by appointment only. On Saturday, the giveaway will be open from 8 to 11 a.m., and no appointment

is necessary. To make an appointment for Friday, call the church office at 717665-3400 and leave a message if after business hours.

Organizers of the event encourage people to consider reserving a shopping time.

“We want to make sure families who need clothes for kids to go back to school make an appointment for Friday,” Gray shared. “By Saturday, we still have a lot of stuff, but a lot is picked over.”

Along with clothing and accessories, God’s Clothing Closet will feature household goods, including dishes, vases, towels and

bedding.

A table will be set up featuring free devotional materials and Bibles, and a table of secular books will also be available.

Last year, the event served just over 600 shoppers, up more than 160 from the previous year.

It takes a village to pull off the event, with volunteers donating hundreds of hours of their time to set up and clean up. Volunteers also receive and sort donations year-round at the church.

Donations are accepted any time in a bin outside the church, but donations will also be received specifically

for God’s Clothing Closet beginning on Monday, Aug. 18. Donations may be left under the covered porch at the church, and labeling the bag with the size and type of clothing is helpful.

“We can always use kids’ clothes, especially larger kids’ clothes, as well as maternity clothes and extra-large sizes 2X, 3X and 4X in men’s and women’s clothing,” Gray shared. She encourages people seeking specific size clothing to make an appointment to shop on Friday.

Any leftover clothing is donated to Jubilee Ministries in Manheim, and last year, some items were given

to the drama club at Manheim Central High School.

Shoppers at last year’s event also donated six boxes of food for the Manheim Central Food Pantry and $142 in cash to purchase more Bibles.

“This event is a great way to get good, free clothing,” said Barb Dunmire, who helps to organize God’s Clothing Closet. “We even receive donations that still have the tags on them.”

to a mission in Appalachia, but the expense of sending the clothing added up. When Gray started talking to local families that participated in a meal giveaway at the church, she realized the church could make an impact in its own community.

“This is a way we can be the hands and feet of Jesus to the community, a way we can serve,” she said. “We feel honored to be able to do it. It’s a joy for our church to do it. We enjoy it, and we love all the people who visit.”

means for local businesses to promote themselves, and it provides hands-on opportunities for youths and adults to showcase livestock, agricultural products and homemade goods.

“Youth gain funds at the livestock sales for college and to purchase livestock,” Nolt remarked. “The community can showcase farm products and tractors, needlecraft, flowers, vegetables, crafts, photography, baked goods, canned goods. The fair is a means for the community to come together and socialize.”

Putting on the event is a year-round endeavor for the organizers, and Nolt expressed gratitude to everyone involved in providing a fun and educational community activity.

will begin on Tuesday, Aug. 26, and individuals may join the chorus up until Tuesday, Sept. 9. Concert performances are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4, and Sunday, Dec. 7. A course fee will be received upon registration. For more information, contact Matthew Fritz at fritzm@etown.edu or 717-361-1112.

“The Elizabethtown Fair Board would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, including volunteers, sponsors, vendors and patrons,” she said. “Without the tremendous community support we receive, the Elizabethtown Fair would not exist. The Elizabethtown Fair has continued to grow and serve as a place for us to gather as a community to exhibit, compete, be entertained and fellowship together. We have successfully been able to bring together agriculture, business, church and education in a great wholesome atmosphere.”

their lives, Martha passed away at age 72 from complications of Lou Gehrig’s disease. There were “too many memories” to remain there, Lester recalled. He subsequently married his second wife, Faye, sold his home, and for a time they lived in her family’s estate home in Elizabethtown. During this time, they bought a camper and enjoyed traveling around the country, mostly to California, to visit family. They eventually downsized and moved to Mount Joy Country Homes in 2009. Faye passed away in 2020.

When asked about his life, Lester emphasized two things: his proud Martin family heritage in Clarence Center, N.Y., and his father’s integrity. He recalled a man once offering to pay cash upfront for a house Lester was building, trusting Lester solely because he knew his father’s reputation and knew his son must also be an honest man.

Lester also recalled a powerful moment from his

The highlight of that time was when she read “Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type” to a field of cows at Brubaker Farms; she also enjoyed reading the story “Kitten

youth, lying on the lawn one Sunday and praying a heartfelt prayer. He asked God to guide his life and help him become someone with purpose. That day, he made a vow about how he would live and not live.

“I’ve kept that vow all my life,” he shared. “This prayer has been a guiding factor for me.”

Although he’s now 100, Lester’s not slowing down anytime soon. He enjoys woodworking, bakingincluding his famous homemade pies and cinnamon rolls - doing puzzles and playing cornhole. He plays almost every Monday with a group at Mount Joy Country Homes and still sinks the bag more than anyone else in the room.

When he was younger, he enjoyed hunting, fishing and singing in men’s choirs.

Celia Traverse, community manager of Messiah Lifeways at Mount Joy Country Homes, described Lester as a man of integrity, quick wit and a heart

full of joy, who embodies the importance of treating others with Christ-like love in all that he does.

No matter whether he’s regaling friends and family with stories or shining as a cornhole superstar, Lester always remembers the driving force in his life.

“My advice on how to live a long and happy life is very simple. God’s got to be in your life,” he said. “If you’re

going to step out and think you’re going to live your life on your own, you are going to fail. I’ll tell you that right now. He is the director of your life if you allow Him to.”

Jan also serves as director of two children’s choirs at First United Methodist in Lancaster, where she also sings in the adult choir and occasionally substitutes as that group’s director. For many years she has taught kids martial arts at Raise28 Youth Center and is a black

belt in karate herself. She is also a member of the Norlanco-Rheems Kiwanis Club. Jan plans to spend more time with her family and dog Mags, as well as do some traveling.

Historical Society Sets Meeting

The Mount Joy Area Historical Society will host Master Gardener Michael Cassidy from Penn State Extension as its guest speaker at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 18, at the Cemetery Road Schoolhouse, 120 Fairview St., Mount Joy. He will present “Working Gardens in 19th-Century Pennsylvania Dutch Country.” He will contrast the 19th-century high Victorian style garden with the common “working garden” in Pennsylvania Dutch country, with lessons for today’s gardeners. The presentation will feature garden graphics, historical photos, and period maga -

zine illustrations. Cassidy is a former state legislator from Blair County. He received a Bachelor of Arts in political science and a Master of Arts in American studies from Penn State. He is retired from his role as a policy analyst and staff director for the Pennsylvania state legislature, and he served as long-term adjunct faculty at Penn State and Temple University. With his wife, he restored two early log homes in Maytown; designed gardens and outbuildings appropriate to the 19th century; and planted native and heirloom plants, providing a friendly habitat for birds,

bees, and butterflies. As a Master Gardener, Cassidy focuses on historic gardens, native plants, invasive plants and jumping worms, and the Pollinator Library Program.

Refreshments and tours of the museum will be available following the program. The meeting is free and open to the public, and donations will be accepted.

The historical society’s building is open every Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. Members of the public may stop by to see the displays of Mount Joy memorabilia. For more information about the historical society, visit www.mountjoy history.com.
