he importance of sleep to a human’s overall health and well-being can’t be overstated. Both a societal problem and an individual problem - both a cause and an effect - sleep disorders are fairly common. But the good news is that at its most basic level, quality of sleep can be improved through relatively minor adjustments and common-sense measures. “We have absolutely Physician Masood Ahmad prepares to monitor a study at UMPC’s Lititz Sleep Lab. made progress in this area,” said We’re diagnosing more cases, and Medical Center (UPMC) Sleep Lab Masood Ahmad, a physician who we’re managing them better.

Giving Back Is Part of Patrick Trimble’s DNA BY JEFF FALK

When it begins at home, generosity is a learned behavior. In some ways, Patrick Trimble’s story reflects the overall generosity of L ancaster County residents. But it also possesses the power to inspire others and create social awareness. R124382

“My parents were a tremendous influence on me,” said Trimble. “My parents weren’t people of means, but they did the right things. They taught me how to do the right things. They were simple, hard-working people who raised six children. The value system they instilled in me has helped form Patrick Trimble (left) and executive director Risa Paskoff display the commemorative check that represents who I am today.” Trimble’s accumulative donations to Aaron’s Acres

ark Mueller and his wife, Jackie, took a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and turned it into an opportunity to help others. Jackie was diagnosed with MS in 1998, and the couple sought to treat the disease as naturally as possible, without medication. They experimented with nutrition and exercise to see what worked and what didn’t, and their research led to MS FitEffect, a free, 10-week program for people with MS. The next session will run from Saturday, Sept. 6, through Saturday, Nov. 15, at Elizabethtown Fitness Club, 626 S. Market St. “Each participant selects a time with their trainer for their private

A World of Wonder Awaits Inside the Bookmobile BY JEFF FALK

It ’s more than books on wheels. The Library System of Lancaster County’s (LSLC) bookmobile delivers knowledge, creativity, inspiration and joy. The bookmobile is kind of like a food truck serving up nourishment for the mind and soul. “Reading in general is very important,” said Audrey Lilley, the bookmobile’s driver, curator and full-time coordinator. “It’s important for kids to be read-

be able to pick up a book and see characters who look like them. Reading can be inspirational, and with retirees, it kind of comes full circle. I think retirees can find comfort in reading. For all people in between, it’s a way to relax and unwind.” W h e n n o t o n t h e g o to multiple locations all across Lancaster County, Lilley parks the bookmobile at LSLC’s main office at 1866 Colonial Village Lane, Suite 107, Lancaster.

SALT Proves Friendship Has No Age Limit BY CAT SHANNON

Are we ever too old to make new friends? Absolutely not, say the senior citizens who gather on Tuesday mornings for SALT (Seniors Are Living Treasures). The group meets for fun, friendship and fellowship from 9 a.m. to noon weekly at Mount Joy Church of God, 30 E. Main St., Mount Joy. “ We might have anywhere from 25 to 30 people each week,” said Tracy Miller, who coordinates the group with a team of volunteers. “We have people in their 50s and up. Our oldest member is 93.” Each meeting begins with people gathering up to 30 minutes early in the church lobby, enjoying the time to catch up with each other before heading into the chapel for coffee, food and games such as Uno or Apples to Apples. Coordinator Debbie Cohn might lead the group in chair yoga, or coordinator Renee Haney might direct a small group in devotionals or take prayer requests. Coordinator Nancy Shonk is in charge of the snack calendar, ensuring that everyone who wants to bring food has a chance to do so. The group does some activities once a month, such as playing bingo or enjoying a movie together. They also play roundrobin matches of games like cornhole or ladderball, switching tables regularly to encourage interaction among everyone. The group also brings in guest speakers to discuss a wide range of topics. Once a quarter, the See SALT pg 2

SALT from pg 1 church’s pastor, Richard Vaughn, provides a full breakfast for the group. Although SALT meets at the church, religious affiliation is not a requirement to join the group. “I t ’s just a ministr y through our church,” Miller said. “We will take anybody who is interested in coming. Some people come week after week. Some people have other activities they’re involved in and can only come once a month, and that’s OK.” Many of the members have lost a spouse and are looking for connection and companionship. That’s the case for Connie Bear, who started coming to SALT when the ministry began in October of 2024. “ Today is three years since I lost my husband,” she said on a recent Tuesday morning. “In my marriage, I didn’t have friends really beyond my husband, so I was looking for somewhere to go to have fellowship and make new friends. I was looking for companionship.” She found that at SALT. “Ever ybody is so nice here,” she said. “We love each other. There are so many wonderful people

here, and you feel like a family. I now have lots of friends to do things with, and we meet up outside of these mornings. We talk to each other outside of these meetings.” Fellowship is the focus of SALT meetings, although the food is a close second, the members joke. “Everyone pitches in, and it’s wonderful,” Shonk said. “This room is filled with people who have found connection with each other.” SALT began when Miller recr uited a few of her friends to help form the ministry. Seventeen people showed up for the first meeting, and the group has grown to include members from across L ancaster County. “ T here isn’t a senior center in the Mount Joy/ Manheim area, and while we don’t want to be a senior center, we do want to provide outreach ministry,” Miller said. “We want to provide connection and fellowship.” W hile SALT officially meets once a week, its

members get to gether regularly outside of the program, including meeting up for wing night at Beanie’s in Mount Joy or driving each other to doctor appointments. They also support each other through tough times. When Renee’s husband, Dou g , pass e d away in August, SALT members showed up for her. “Eighteen people from here came to my hus band’s funeral, and most had never met him,” she said. “ We take care of each other. A lot of the people who come have said how lonely they were before this. Now they look for ward to this. I can’t imagine a week going by without coming to this.” For member Mae Pierce, S A LT has provided an opportunity to push herself outside of her comfort zone. “I needed to challenge myself to get out of the house,” she said. “SALT stands for Seniors Are Living Treasures, but this salt is the flavor that’s now

part of my life. It’s gone beyond what it was supposed to be. I have met so many awesome friends. I go to the grocery story or a craft fair, and someone will yell out, ‘Mae!’ It’s so nice to have made so many connections.” “There’s fun stuff to do here. You’ll meet some characters, meet some sweet people and make some new friends,” Pierce continued. “It’s a community. You don’t have to be alone for that one morning a week.” SALT is open to anybody who is interested in attending, and people can just show up on a Tuesday morning; they do not need to register. The ministry is held year-round. People may park on the street and enter the church off of Main Street or access the building without climbing steps through the East Henry Street entrance via a parking lot at the rear of the church.

Patrick Trimble from pg 1 W ho Trimble is is an altruist. Over the last few years, the 65-year-old resident of Manheim Township has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to local charitable causes. But to no Lancaster County nonprofit has he donated more money than Aaron’s Acres. “I’m a Christian. I believe in God,” said Trimble, who works as a Realtor for Berkshire Hathaway in Lancaster. “Maybe that’s a part of it. I don’t think of it as ‘It’s not mine.’ I look at it as ‘I have it, and I want to give back.’” Humble, unassuming and empathetic, Trimble has donated more than $250,000 of his earnings to Aaron’s Acres over the last 13 years. In addition, Trimble has participated in fundraisers in support of Aaron’s Acres, a nonprofit located at 1861 Charter Lane, Suite 114, L ancaster, that assists families with disabilities through recreational activities like summer camps. “The work they do with the kids is fantastic,” said Trimble. “These kids have disabilities, and (Aaron’s Acres) runs summer camps. The kids are there, they ’re playing and it’s heart-warming. They ’re assisting the kids, but they ’re also supporting the parents. Some of these parents never get a break.

(Aaron’s Acres is) expanding their programs, and they’re giving something to kids and parents. I have friends who have kids with disabilities, so I see the other side of it. I know the money is being used wisely, I like that it’s a local organization and that it’s flowing to an end result.” Trimble initially became better acquainted with A aron’s Acres’ mission through a fundraising golf outing in 2012. To help A aron’s Acres, Trimble began pledging $100 donations to the organization for every home he sold, and then he padded those donation with even more of his funds. At the beginning, Trimble ’s intent ion wa sn’t to donate a quarter of a million dollars to Aaron’s Acres; it just sort of accumulated that way. “If we had a good year, I’d donate a little more,” said Trimble. “Each year we’d donate money. Over the first few years, I really didn’t really pay too much attention to it. Then it kind of became, ‘Let’s see if we can do a little better than last year.’ It’s kind of evolved. We didn’t start with a specific goal.” In his role as a Realtor, Tr imble receives a lot of requests from local s cho ols , churches and organizations to donate money or to support fund-

Discussion Group to Meet The Exploring, Growing Together Discussion For um will meet on Thursdays, Jan. 8 and 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in the conference room at the Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz. Led by Heidi Yorgey, the group will discuss “ T he P i ano Tuner ” by Daniel Mason. The novel is set in 1886 and follows the story of a piano tuner named Edgar Drake who receives an unusual c o m m i s s i o n f ro m t h e B r i t i s h Wa r O f f i ce to travel to the remote jungles of northeast Burma and repair a rare piano belonging to an eccentric

army surgeon. Attendees may bring a lunch to eat during the discussion, if desired. The forum discussion series offers a safe learning environment in which to discuss and explore diverse topics and beliefs with respect to everyone sharing. Each person obtains materials for the course unless specified other wise in the information on the yearly schedule. The schedule is subject to change. Contact Linda at 717626-0745 or raven303@ ptd.net with questions or suggestions, to obtain a series schedule, or to indicate intent to attend.

raisers. His contributions can also serve as business marketing or as a way to promote goodwill in the community. “I’m successful, and I want to give back,” said Trimble. “My father always told me that society functions best when more are giving back than taking. This is my way to give back to society and Lancaster County.” As time has passed and Trimble has evolved as a person, it might be that his priorities have changed right along with his perspective. Maybe he sees things in a different light now.

“There’s no doubt about that,” said Trimble. “When you’re younger, you have a few more bills. Now I have more breathing ro om, and I’ve become more generous.” Aaron’s Acres was first fo u nd e d i n 1 9 9 8 a s a summer camp to provide re c re a t i o n a l o p p o r t u nities for families with disabled children. Since then, the organization has expanded its services and activities to include yearround programming and include young adults with disabilities.

A Lasting Tribute to World War II Soldiers BY CAT SHANNON

As the Rotary Club of Mount Joy approaches its 100th anniversary in 2026, the organization is preparing to mark that milestone with a project rooted in remembrance. The club has a long history of enhancing the town, from installing the Main Street clock to helping build Rotary Park and contributing significantly to the rebuild of Kids Joyland. Now, Rotarians are turning their efforts toward a project that carries deep local meaning: the creation of a Malmedy Massacre Memorial at Veterans War Memorial Park. The memorial will honor the more than 80 American soldiers who were executed during the Malmedy Massacre on Dec. 17, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge. It will also pay special tribute to the 10 Lancaster County soldiers from Battery B of the 285th Field Artillery Obser vation Battalion, among them Mount Joy’s own Harold Billow, the lastknown survivor of the World War II massacre, who passed away in 2022 at age 99. “ T he Rotar y C lub of Mount Joy has always been committed to enhancing their local Mount Joy community in the Rotary spirit of Service Above Self,” said Rotarian Dave Christian. “The club’s primary focus for the memorial is to tell the story of that horrific day, so it is never forgotten.” The massacre unfolded on a bitterly cold morning near Malmedy, Belgium. An American convoy of

about 30 vehicles unknowingly approached a crossroads from the east at the same moment a heavily armed German SS unit advanced from the west. Outgunned and forced to surrender, the Americans were gathered into a field, where, moments later, the German soldiers opened fire. Unarmed POWs were gunned down where they stood; some were shot at close range as they lay wounded. Only those who managed to feign death, including Cpl. Billow, survived long enough for the Germans to leave the area. Five of the 10 Lancaster County soldiers present were killed that day. Sylve s te r He rc h e l ro t h o f Marietta, Charles Haines of Columbia, George Steffy of Stevens, Luke Swartz of Stevens and Carl Frey of Hopeland all lost their lives. The others - Billow, Bill Reem of Elizabethtown, Robert “Sketch” Mearig of Lititz, James Mattera of

Marietta and Ernest Bechtel of Reinholds - returned home after the war. For decades, Billow honored his fallen comrades by displaying 87 American f lags in his yard ever y Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Dec. 17. Those flags became a poignant personal ritual and now serve as the inspiration for the new community memorial. “The inspiration for the memorial was heavily influenced by Eagle Scout Todjr Dohl of Mount Joy, who was designing a Malmedy memorial project several years back for his Eagle Scout project,” Christian said. “The Rotary Club of Mount Joy chose to give new life to Todjr’s vision, carr ying for ward most of his proposed design elements.” T h e c l u b ’s p ro p o s e d memorial incor porates symbolism in its central feature: a field of 87 miniature American f lags, arranged exactly as Billow placed them each year. Set in river gravel and illuminated at night, the field will serve as a quiet but powerful reminder of the soldiers lost at Malmedy. The flags will remain in place yearround, except during times of heavy snow. A granite monument with a bronze plaque will stand beside the flag field, offering visitors a brief account of the Malmedy Massacre. A stone bench will provide a reflective space for those who wish to pause, remember or pray. The memorial area will be accessible by an ADA-compliant walkway and surrounded by plantings of red, white and blue flowers and several small flowering trees. Community involvement

is central to the project’s design. The walkway surrounding the memorial will be lined with donor-sponsored, laser-etched brick pavers. Individuals, families, organizations and businesses are invited to purchase a paver in honor of one of the Malmedy soldiers. Ten larger brick pavers - each bearing the name of one of the Lancaster County soldiers present at Malmedy - are available for sponsorship. Sixteen additional pavers will display World War II service branch insignias, mottos and Gold Star symbols honoring families who lost loved ones in the conflict. The Rotary Club estimates the total cost of the memorial at $35,000 to $40,000. If fundraising progresses quickly, the goal is to complete and dedicate the site on Memorial Day 2026. “If contributions exceed expectations, we hope to add a historical storyboard to the memorial space that would pictorially and descriptively convey the story of the Malmedy Massacre and the 10 Lancaster soldiers who were there,” Christian said. Community support will be essential in bringing the project to life. Donations of any amount will help ensure that the memorial stands as a lasting tribute to the men who never returned home and as an educational reminder for future generations. Those wishing to contr ibute can visit www .mountjoyrotary.org and click on the Malmedy Massacre Memorial link or contact Rotarian Andy Dieck at 717-327-6912 or sfh@ sheetzfuneralhome.com.

Sleep Lab from pg 1 sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, sleepwalking, sleeptalking, insomnia and restless legs syndrome. “ We send patients to the sleep lab to diagnosis their sleep disorders,” said Ahmad. “We have to do the sleep studies to see how they sleep. Most of the times it’s nighttime studies for sleep apnea, but sometimes we do studies to see how sleepy they are during the day. We want to see how many times they stop breathing, how they maintain brain activities, how quickly they fall asleep and how quickly they get to REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. We look for body movements. We have to see what state the apnea is in. We coordinate all of those things, and then from the correlation we make a diagnosis.” With assistance from sleep technicians, typically nighttime studies are performed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. at the UPMC Sleep Lab. Ahmad refers patients to the sleep lab, examines the results of the studies and also helps treat patients who have been

referred by other physicians. “If someone comes to me and tells me, ‘I can’t sleep,’ I have to pinpoint the problem,” said Ahmad. “I’ll ask them, ‘What’s your history? What’s your specific problem? When you sleep, what happens?’ Some patients have multiple problems.” “Some people can’t sleep because of behavior problems, like TV and cellphones,” continued Ahmad. “I’ll recommend managing stress better and not watching blue light one hour before bedtime. I’ll tell them to exercise regularly, no caffeine before bed, no snacks before bed and try not to nap during the daytime. These are common recommendations.” Ahmad recommends at least seven hours of sleep a night for adults and as much as 10 hours a night for children. “It should be quality sleep, deep sleep when you get to all of the sleep stages,” said Ahmad. “There are all different levels of sleep apnea, and for most sleep apneas, they should be treated by a CPAP (a machine that delivers a constant flow of pressurized

air during sleep). If it’s something simple and there is no excessive daytime sleeping, we tell patients to simply lose weight. If you lose 10% of your body weight, you may lose 50% of your sleep apnea. If you lose 20% of your body weight, then there’s a good chance you may not have it.” According to Ahmad, up to 20% of the national population has experienced sleep disorders. Sleep disorders are more common in men, people who have allergies or sinus issues and people with obesity, and there are genetic factors involved with their frequency. “I think it’s still underdiagnosed,” said Ahmad. “(Sleep disorders are a) risk factor for cancer. Sleep apnea is a risk factor for stroke. Sleep apnea is a risk factor for dementia and other diseases. It affects your immunity.
