A Week of Food, Fun and Agriculture

BY CAT SHANNON

Come for the animals, stay for the food, and enjoy what Farm Show president Glenn Stoltzfus calls “the best week of the year.”

Visit the Manheim Community Farm Show, and you’ll be treated to a wide variety of agricultural exhibits, interactions with animals and lots of food options.

The 71st farm show will run from Monday, Oct. 6, through Friday, Oct. 10, at 502 Adele Ave., Manheim.

“The farm show is a great place to check out local food,” said Stoltzfus. “We have about 25 food stands, and they are all run by civic groups and churches from the area.”

Banquet Will Benefit Mt. Hope

BY CAT SHANNON

Mt. Hope Nazarene Retirement Community invites the public to celebrate its mission of providing seniors and people with disabilities a place to call home. For more than 56 years, Mt. Hope has delivered quality nursing care in a family-friendly environment where residents experience belonging.

He noted that the farm show also offers opportunities for education and fun.

“If someone knows nothing about farm animals, come and talk to one

of the kids raising them,” he recommended. “People will learn what it takes to raise and show an animal. People will learn more about where their food comes from.”

Making Marimba Music in Manheim

BY CAT SHANNON

Think Manheim and you might think of farm shows and football, but this month, the town will add a whole new sound to its streets. And this sound is bright, rhythmic and larger than life.

The inaugural Musser Marimba Festival will strike a chord from Sunday, Oct. 12, through Saturday, Oct. 18, celebrating Manheim’s own Clair Omar Musser, the man who helped put the marimba on the world stage.

Through a variety of events and concerts, audiences of all ages can explore, enjoy and learn about marimba performance and history. The grand finale of the weeklong celebration will be a

The Fall Benefit Banquet will be held Saturday, Oct. 25, at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church, 54 N. Penryn Road, Manheim. Doors will open at 5 p.m., with a catered meal served at 5:30 p.m. Dinner will feature an authentic Italian meal prepared by the Amato family, which owns Francesco’s Pizza and Restaurant in Manheim and has a family connection with Mt. Hope.

Amy’s Mixing Bowl of Manheim, The Country Store of Mount Joy and Kreider Farms will also contribute to the menu. Guests will choose from three Italian entrées with homemade sauces from Carini, Sicily: baked lasagna rigatoni, creamy chicken Alfredo with penne pasta or vegetarian baked ziti with pink vodka sauce. Francesco’s will also provide homemade bread, Italian salad with house dressing and garlic knots. Desserts will include gourmet tiramisu cake slices, chocolate cake with peanut butter icing, vanilla cake with salted caramel, vanilla cake with raspberry swirl and Kreider Farms’ hand-dipped ice cream. Assorted drinks will also be offered.

Following the meal, a short inspirational program with guest speakers and music will take place. Themed baskets will

60-piece marimba orchestra concert scheduled for Oct. 18.

The festival will begin with a free concert by the Lancaster Marimba Ensemble and Heartland Marimba on Oct. 12 at St. John’s Hain’s Church, 591 N. Church Road, Wernersville, at 4 p.m.

A lecture and performance by Heartland Marimba on Pennsylvania’s Magnificent Marimba History will take place on Monday, Oct. 13, at 6:30 p.m. The event will be held at Atonement Lutheran Church, 5 Wyomissing Blvd., Wyomissing. The presentation is free to attend, but donations to the festival will be accepted.

On Tuesday, Oct. 14, the festival will come to Manheim with a free birthday celebration for Musser at Zion Lutheran Church, 2 S. Hazel St., beginning at 7 p.m. The evening will live marimba performances, the grand reveal of a colorful mural, and plenty of cake. Painted by Horst Arts, the mural decorates an exterior wall of Zion Lutheran Preschool wall with cosmic imagery, a nod to Musser’s inventive streak, which once included building a marimba out of meteorites.

Manheim’s history will take center stage again at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15, when a multimedia presentation will be held the Manheim Historical Society’s train station, 210 S. Charlotte St. David Harvey, noted marimba historian and scholar from Lowell, Mass., will present “Manheim’s Marimba Visionary: Clair Musser” along with perfor -

mances of Musser’s compositions by Matthew Coley on a vintage Musser marimba.

The evening will highlight Musser’s vast contributions as a marimba virtuoso, conductor, composer, teacher and designer of keyboard percussion. Musser’s ingenuity in promoting marimba performance with his 100-plus piece marimba orchestras was groundbreaking and legendary.

“An engaging assortment of historical photos, videos and recordings will be featured on a large screen, showcasing Musser’s amazing life and double career as a world-renowned musician and an engineer,” explained Harvey. The presentation is free to attend, but donations to the festival will be accepted.

The festival fun will continue on Thursday, Oct. 16, when the Manheim Community Farm Show grounds transform into a hands-on music playground. From 6 to 8 p.m., the Community Marimba Celebration invites families to try out instruments in the “percussion circus” hosted by the Manheim Central marching band, craft their own shaker maracas and enjoy discussions and performances by professional marimba artists.

Vintage phonographs will be on display by enthusiasts, and a variety of nonprofits will also have displays and activities. Food will be available for purchase from Rad-ish, and the Manheim FFA will have their own homegrown popcorn for sale. Horst

Arts will have marimba-themed handcrafted items for sale. All other activities will be free of charge.

Stephanie Smith, co-director of the festival, director of the Lancaster Marimba Ensemble and assistant director of the Manheim Central marching band, is particularly excited for the Community Marimba Celebration.

“Manheim is such a terrific area for celebrating community,” she said, “and we’re thrilled to offer an interactive and fun evening for the community and families to enjoy.”

The culmination of the week celebrating Musser and marimbas will be the Musser Marimba Festival Orchestra Concert. It will be held on Oct. 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Manheim Central Middle School, 261 White Oak Road, Manheim.

Composed of 60 performers, the orchestra is reminiscent of Musser’s large-scale orchestras, where professional musicians and hobbyists came together to perform. Participating in a marimba orchestra of this size is a rare opportunity, with partic ipants coming from California, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. The orchestra will perform some of Musser’s compositions and arrangements in addition to a variety of music showcasing the marimba’s versatility as an instrument.

“We are making history in Manheim in honor of the incredible events, stories and

momentum Musser created with the marimba orchestras of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, providing us with a rich start to the classi cal marimba art form,” said Coley, who will direct the orchestra. “The music we are performing is looking back with respect for these historical achievements and looking forward toward a resonant future for marimba performance!”

Tickets for the closing concert may be purchased in advance at www.heartlandmarimba.com/ events. There are separate prices for adults and for students and senior citizens. Tickets may also be purchased at the door by cash only. For additional information about the festival, contact Smith at lancastermarimba@gmail .com.

Concert Will Highlight Gospel, Harmony and Family

BY CAT SHANNON

The members of the Mark Dubbeld Family believe in spreading the Gospel through their music and testimony.

Now you can catch a concert by the renowned band when the group performs at Reich’s Evangelical Congregational Church, 338 Stackstown Road, Marietta. The concert will be held at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 12.

As pastor Dan Blank explained, the group first performed last year at Reich’s Church, and the congregation is eager to welcome them back.

“The concert went very well last year,” Blank said. “It was very well received, and people really loved them. They are fantastic.”

While last year’s concert was worked into a tour the band was already taking throughout central Pennsylvania, the group will make a special trip to the area this year for the concert at the church.

“We are so blessed to have them,” Blank said. “They are a nationally known, award-winning group.”

The Mark Dubbeld Family comprises father Mark, mother Janene, daughter Elena and son Britton. The group has been featured on the “Gospel Greats” radio program, has performed at Dollywood and has participated in the National Quartet Convention in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. The band also participated in 40 Days and 40 Nights at the Ark Encounter, billed as “the World’s Largest Christian Music Festival.”

Hailing from Moneta, Va., the band presents concerts featuring original songs, strong harmony and a sincere desire to share the love of Christ with audiences.

“People can expect an evening of great singing and family harmony,” Blank said. “Everyone is invited to experience an evening of worship and the Lord being lifted up.”

Hosting an event like this concert provides members of Reich’s Church with the chance to interact with the larger community.

“We really want to provide opportunities for community gatherings, opportunities to get together to worship,” Blank shared. “We want to have opportunities outside of just our church members and our church services. We invite anyone in the community to come to this event and be blessed.”

Reich’s Church holds Bible study for people of all ages on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m., followed by a worship service at 10:10 a.m. For more information on the church, visit www.reichschurch.com.

There is no admission charge for the Mark Dubbeld Family concert, and no tickets are required to attend. A freewill offering will be received to benefit the band’s ministry.

9:00 A.M.-10:45 A.M.

Tuesday, October 14th, 2025 thru March 24th, 2026

Tracking Down the Perfect Vehicle

Buying a vehicle is a significant financial investment. It is not a decision to take lightly, especially given the historically high prices of new cars in recent years.

Finding a vehicle that is the perfect fit requires consideration of a host of variables, including personal preference. What is perfect for one individual may not work for another. When the time comes to shop for a car, people can ask themselves a few questions in an effort to find a vehicle that best suits their situation.

• What are your needs? Are you looking to carpool

the kids to and from school, or do you want a fuel-efficient car for commuting? Identifying the main purpose of the vehicle will eliminate certain cars or trucks right off the bat.

• What is your budget? It is a good idea to get a pre-approval loan statement from a financial provider to figure out what you can afford to pay for a vehicle. The automotive resource Edmunds says the general rule is the monthly car payment should not exceed 15% of your monthly take-home pay. Lease payments should be less than 10% of monthly

Why Wash Your Car?

Taking care of a vehicle involves more than just maintaining the equipment under the hood. There are a number of steps involved

in keeping a car or truck in top form, and that includes regular car washes.

Car washes keep a vehicle shiny and clean, which can help it look good while sitting in the driveway or cruising the highway. However, regular car washes are more than cosmetic.

take-home pay. Calculate these numbers and potential interest rates prior to shopping for a vehicle.

• What size is best for you? Even though it may seem that SUVs and pickups reign supreme on the road, some drivers prefer smaller vehicles. Figure out how much interior space and cargo room you need. Take the time to sit in different vehicle classes to determine which size fits you best.

• What are your fuel preferences? Today’s vehicles come in electric, unleaded gasoline, diesel, and hybrid options. How

the car or truck is powered may be important to you and will help identify the best vehicle for you.

• What is the cost of ownership? Certain vehicle brands may be more expensive to maintain than others. According to Motor1. com, luxury and premium brands are typically the most expensive to maintain, with European brands typically carrying high maintenance costs. This can be prohibitive when parts or service is needed.

Buying a vehicle requires careful consideration of drivers’ needs, budget, and desired features.

tect the paint in the process.

pain in their wallets at the fuel pump in recent years. Dirty cars may be less aerodynamic and less fuel efficient as a result. Keeping a car clean may improve its fuel efficiency.

• Protect from the sun: A car that is routinely and properly washed and waxed is less vulnerable to damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

• Extend the life of paint: Dirt and debris can build up on the paint surface and eventually lead to scratches and other damage. Bird droppings and sap can be corrosive. Washing will help remove grime and pro-

• Preserve the vehicle’s value: Drivers who plan to sell or trade in their vehicles in the future should realize that a well-maintained car can bring in as much as 20% more for above-average condition, according to Kelley Blue Book. Maintaining a clean and shiny vehicle can protect its longterm value.

• Remove salt: Drivers who live near the ocean or in areas where roads are salted in the winter to melt snow may have cars with high salt corrosion rates. Unless it’s washed off frequently, salt can take its toll, leading to damage.

• Improve fuel efficiency: Drivers have felt

• Maintain the interior: Car washes are not only about the exterior. Keeping a clean and tidy interior can help improve the air quality inside of the vehicle and prolong the life of upholstery, mats, and interior components. Car washes should be a routine part of vehicle maintenance. Professional car washes tend to be more eco-friendly than washing a car at home, so drivers are urged to investigate their service plans and features.

Caring for a Vehicle’s Exterior

Drivers go to great lengths to ensure that they take good care of what’s under the hood of their vehicles. But it’s equally beneficial to tend to the exterior of a vehicle, including its paint job.

According to Popular Mechanics, oxidation can adversely affect iron-based metals. That can put vehicles in jeopardy and take significant time off their life expectancy. The good news is that rust and other issues that can affect a vehicle’s paint job and appearance are typ-

ically avoidable. That should be music to the ears of new vehicle owners, who likely need no reminder of the sizable financial investment required to drive off the lot with a fresh set of wheels. Drivers who want their cars and trucks to maintain their looks over the long haul can consider these simple strategies to protect their paint jobs.

• Make car washes part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Over time, contaminants such as pollen,

dust, and pollutants can settle on a vehicle’s exterior, potentially jeopardizing the paint job. Routine car washes can prevent such damage and help a car look like it was just driven off the lot.

• Wax the exterior of the vehicle. The automotive experts at Carfax report that waxing is a significant and simple way to protect vehicle paint. Carfax notes that certain paste waxes contain mild abrasives that help remove fine scratches from

from pg 6

painted surfaces. Wax also can protect paint jobs from fading related to exposure to ultraviolet rays. That’s especially noteworthy for drivers who do not routinely park their cars in a garage.

• Use a car cover. Car covers may or may not be practical for cars that drivers use every day, but they are an effective way to protect a paint job from the elements. Drivers who have a spare car they rarely drive or even those who do not drive their primary vehicle a lot each day can purchase a universal-fit car cover or a premium cover designed specifically for their vehicles. Car covers protect paint jobs from ultraviolet rays and the elements and may reduce the need for more frequent trips to the car wash.

• Park in the shade, but choose spots wisely. Parking in the shade may protect vehicles from the ultraviolet

rays of the sun, but it’s important that drivers pick the right shady spot to park their cars and trucks. A shade tree might seem like a great ally to vehicle owners, but if birds nest or rest in the tree, drivers could be exposing their cars to bird droppings. Bird droppings are high in uric acid, which quickly damage a vehicle’s exterior. Parking directly beneath a tree also might expose the paint job to sap or fallen leaves or berries, each of which can adversely impact vehicle exteriors. If you plan to park in the shade to protect a vehicle’s paint job, ideally choose a spot that is not directly beneath the tree. A well-maintained paint job can improve the appearance and life expectancy of a vehicle, which is something drivers should keep in mind as they hope to get the most out of their automotive investment.

How To Maintain Older Vehicles

New cars have been costly for quite some time, so motorists may wonder how they can get more mileage out of their existing vehicles.

Drivers can take the following steps to keep their existing cars running smoothly for years to come.

- Take care of the timing belt. Engines may get all the glory, but they cannot run smoothly without a fully functional timing belt, which helps to synchronize movements of various components. Owner’s manuals may note when to replace the timing belt, but they generally must be replaced every 60,000 to 105,000 miles. Although replacement is required infrequently, drivers can ask their mechanics to keep an eye on their timing belts. During the early months of the pandemic, many people learned that infrequent driving can cause a timing

belt to fail before it reaches the projected mile marker. Aging drivers should keep this fact in mind if they do not drive as much as they used to.

- Take care of the brakes and associated components. The experts at Popular Mechanics urge drivers of older vehicles to replace their brake fluid every two years. Popular Mechanics also advises drivers whose cars are more than seven years old to replace the rubber brake lines when major brake work is required.

- Pay attention to oil levels. The older engines get, the more oil they burn. For this reason, owners of older vehicles should check their oil levels more often than they would if their vehicles were brand new.

These checks also provide a way to discover leaks before they lead to potentially significant issues.

Automobiles have come a long way since their introduction more than 100 years ago. The cars of today are technological marvels, which has made both driving and maintaining a vehicle simpler in certain ways. For example, built-in diagnostic systems can now alert drivers when something is wrong with their car. Although that feature is undeniably useful, drivers can still benefit from learning to recognize issues by ear. Many problems that can affect a car or truck produce unusual sounds, and learning what certain noises may indicate can help drivers detect problems as soon as possible.

- Rattling sound in a wheel well: Many people have mistakenly placed clothing in a dryer without realizing the clothing had spare change in the pockets. That mistake is immediately apparent once the dryer starts thanks to the unpleasant noise of coins bouncing off the interior of the machine. Drivers may hear a similar sound when behind one of their car’s wheels

What’s That Noise?

and wonder what’s behind it. Such a sound often indicates that there’s a loose lug nut inside the hubcap. This issue can arise when drivers don’t secure the wheel tightly after changing their own tire or if mechanics make the same mistake when rotating or replacing tires during a routine maintenance session.

- Squeaking sound: The auto insurance experts at Geico note that rear-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles may produce a rhythmic squeaking sound when an issue arises with the universal joint. JD Power notes that the universal joint, often referred to as a U-joint, is part of the system that enables the rotating crankshaft in the engine of a vehicle to transfer that rotating motion to the rear wheels. U-joints get a workout whenever vehicles are driven, so they require maintenance, and a squeaking sound is one indicator that the U-joint needs to be addressed immediately.

- Squealing sound: A high-pitched squealing sound typically means the vehicle’s brake pads are worn out. However, Cars. com notes that if such

a sound is only present when a car is first driven in the morning, it could just be surface rust being scraped off the rotors. After a few initial applications of the brakes, the sound might disappear. If it doesn’t, the vehicle will likely need new brake pads.

- Scraping on the windshield during rain: The scraping sound on a windshield when the wipers are in use should not be taken lightly or be interpreted as a sign that the rain is only falling lightly. In fact, that sound indicates the wipers are

worn out, which means they’re not effectively clearing the windshield. In addition, the wipers could be scratching the windshield each time they produce this sound, ultimately necessitating a costly windshield replacement. Wiper blades can be replaced in a matter of minutes, so address this issue promptly.

Learning to recognize the sources of various vehicle noises can help drivers nip problems in the bud before they compromise the automobile and the safety of the people inside it.

Hope continues to be inviting and a welcoming place for everyone who needs our services. We continue strong in our founding mission to provide affordable, quality care in an environment based on Christ’s model of care for ‘the least of these,’ regardless of someone’s resources or ever-changing financial circumstances.”

The banquet will be the community’s fourth annual fundraising event, and it is the organization’s largest giving opportunity for people in the community to support Mt. Hope.

“We will strive to reach our goal of $55,000,” Wilson said. “People attending the banquet will be amazed and excited to hear about everything Mt. Hope accomplished over the past few years. We will share the most recent updates and news about our groundbreaking endeavor to expand with building two new independent, single-floor-living duplex cottages on our campus. These units are rented to qualifying residents with the goal of supporting the 50-bed skilled nursing facility. Often, these units are occupied by spouses or other elderly family caregivers.”

According to Wilson, Mt. Hope provides more than $1.4 million in charitable care each year, and the community relies on support from people at events such as the banquet to fund that care.

“A large gap of over $150 a day for each resident on Medicaid exists in what the state reimburses longterm care facilities and the actual cost of nursing care,” she said. “Raising funds to assist in helping residents who are not able to afford the cost of their care or benevolent care is a growing need.”

This 19th century home, nestled in Manheim Borough, offers easy access to local restaurants & cafes as well as Routes 72 & 772. The first floor of the home features a cozy living room with a fireplace, an eat in kitchen, a formal dining area, a bedroom and a full bathroom. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Additional amenities include an unfinished basement, an attached 1-car garage, an outdoor shed & a private backyard. Don’t miss this great property in Manheim, perfect for first-time home buyers!

To reserve individual, couple or group seating at the banquet, individuals may contact Wilson at 717-682-8026 or advancement@ mthopenazarene.org. Event and table sponsorships are also available. The deadline for banquet reservations is Saturday, Oct. 18. The meal is free, but attendees will have the opportunity to support Mt. Hope’s mission and contribute a suggested donation toward banquet costs.

- Don’t skip maintenance appointments. Even if you’re still driving less due to the pandemic, it’s best to keep up with maintenance on any car, especially if the car is older.

Routine tune-ups and oil changes, which may need to become more frequent the older the vehicle gets,

can keep cars running smoothly and protect the engine over the long haul. The rising cost of new cars may compel people to keep their cars longer than they might have anticipated. A few simple maintenance measures may help to prolong the life of a vehicle.

Museum Plans Homeschool Day

The National Watch & Clock Museum, 514 Poplar St., Columbia, will hold a Homeschool Day on Tuesday, Oct. 14, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Topics children will learn about while at the museum include what makes a clock tick, why watches moved from pockets to wrists, and how people have tracked time throughout history. Attendees can see a live demonstration of the massive Engle Clock, as well as a replica jeweler’s shop from the early 1900s. As groups tour the exhibits, they will hear timepieces in action and see videos of the inside mechanics and makers busy at their craft.

During Homeschool Day, students will also have the opportunity to use a microscope to see watch parts up close, decorate a clock with stenciling, take apart and reassemble a watch, learn how a pendulum makes a clock run, and discover the history of timekeeping during a self-guided museum tour.

People are asked to register for Homeschool Day at www .museum.nawcc.org/events. Tickets will be sold at the door, with separate prices set for people ages 6 to 17 and for adults. Adults must remain with their children.

The National Watch & Clock Museum is run by the nonprofit National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors (NAWCC) and houses the largest collection of timepieces and related ephemera in North America. The museum has recently updated and expanded several of its displays, including the Public Time gallery,

the Hamilton and Bulova exhibits, and the history of wristwatches exhibit.

The museum is open to the public on Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.museum.nawcc.org or call 717-684-8261.
