Cavod Artists Perform for God BY JEFF FALK
A
thankful heart is a happy heart. Cavod Performing Arts and Theatre has a lot to be grateful for. The upcoming Day of Thanksgiving is an opportunity to take stock, count blessings and celebrate all of the people and things
that make Cavod, Cavod. “Cavod means ‘glory of God’ in Hebrew, His ma jesty, His greatness,” said Connie Dienner, Cavod Peforming Arts’ founder and executive director. “Our goal is to bring glory to God through the arts. W hen people say it, they’re speaking the glory of God without even knowing it. We’re
here to celebrate and change the culture of the arts. This facility is for anyone and everyone.” Located at 665 W. Main St., New Holland, Cavod Performing Arts will host its 10th annual Day of Thanksgiving on Friday, Nov. 7. It’s a day of online giving that is topped off by a celebration of the arts from 6 to 10 p.m., an

Take a Trolley Ride to a Time Long Ago BY JEFF FALK
An early form of public transportation, trolleys played an essential role in the development of Lancaster County socially, economically and culturally. The freedom of movement that trolleys provided laid the foundation for exchanges of ideas and the proliferation of creativity, as well as practical applications of resource management. Stan Bowman fondly remembers his rides on trolley cars, and through those memories he has become
an unofficial expert on the 20thcentury mode of transportation. “I grew up in Delaware County, and Philadelphia had more trolleys than any other city in the country,” said Bowman. “They were a lot of fun to ride. It was like riding a miniature railroad. It came close to where you lived, and a lot of them were high speed. A lot of people remember trolleys.” Trolleys and, to a lesser degree, trains will be the topics of Bowman’s rail transportation seminar at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5, Stan Bowman enjoys sharing what he knows about trolleys to local
It seems a lot to ask 17- and 18-year-olds to make highereducation decisions that will affect the rest of their lives, that will shape the directions of their existences. But College Night can help by providing options, clearing up misconceptions and sparking new possibilities. An informed decision is a smart decision. “It helps kids from all over Lancaster County and beyond to be able to have direct interaction with colleges, trade schools and the military,” said Barbara McDaniel, a counseling office administrative assistant at Conestoga Valley High School (CVHS) who’s been coordinating College Night for 27 years. “It gives them a little bit of the atmosphere of what college is like. It helps students decide which path is best for them.” Located at 2110 Horseshoe Road, Lancaster, CVHS will host this year’s edition of its annual College Night inside Rill Gymnasium from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 3. The event is free to attend and open to all high school students across Lancaster County. “It’s so awesome,” said McDaniel. “Tables are set up in alphabetical order, and there are a lot of people. When I talk to parents and students, I get compliments about the flow. Students can see what a college represents or if they have the major they are interested in. It’s a busy night, but when six o’clock hits and I open the doors and see the students come in, that’s my favorite part.”
