SHOPPING NEWS

of Lancaster County

On the bitter cold Monday after the recent weekend snowstorm, our photographer headed out to brave the treacherous back roads in the hopes of finding a snow related winter scene. He snapped a photo here and there as he drove around on the nearly empty roads, but felt he needed to keep looking for something a

little out of the ordinary. Well, his persistence paid off as he drove down a hill near Paradise, and off in the distance, he saw snow being launched by a multitude of snowblowers! They were quite a ways off the road, but he decided to head in the lane and inquire about what was going on. He met the owner, Mr. Stoltzfus, who

graciously invited our photographer to head on down to the pond and snap some photos. The hardworking crew was indeed a well-oiled machine, clearing the deep snow off the pond for skating. This was an impressive team effort with close to ten snowblowers ready to throw snow. This particular image was one of

our photographer’s favorites because of the multiple snow streams being launched, and especially the crisscross pair in the middle. Other workers would come sliding by with wide shovels to clean up the small piles of snow. During the clearing process, two small thin spots were found and those areas were marked as ‘off limits.’ This is one of those memorable moments that makes being a photographer in Lancaster County so special. This pond also had lights going from one end of the pond to the other, which most certainly was a bonus for late evening hockey games.

have donated to the fire company.

Chief Richard Gehman explained that only having 20% donating is disappointing. Senior members in the company reflect that back in the 70s and 80s when over 75% in the community donated. As the area has grown in buildings and population, the percentage of people donating has

declined significantly. This past year, Lincoln responded to 450 incidents compared to 80 or less annually up to 1985.

Gehman related that the 45 volunteers participated in 4,879 hours of training in 2025. Over 6,600 citizens were directly contacted by the 46 school and community programs provided last year.

“We tell people the importance of their local volunteer fire company and the importance of financial support” Gehman stated.

In 1969, Lincoln’s new engine cost $32,000, in 1974

it cost $53,000, in 1992 it cost $321,000, and today, it costs $1.3 million. It shows unfortunately how this very specialized equipment has gone up in price.

The fire company serves western Ephrata Borough and Ephrata Township, as well as eastern Clay Township. The community must step up and provide the financial support for the volunteers to better serve them. Donations can be mailed to the fire station at 38 South Market Street, Ephrata.

ES EVENGELIUM VUM LUKAS

Es Zwett Kabiddel: Erscht bis zwanzischt Varscht Iwwersetzt ins Deitsche beim Ralph Charles Wood Un zu sellre Zeit is en Befehl vum Kaiser Aguschdus kumme, as die ganz Welt gessest warre sott. Un selli Sessment waar die erscht un hot schtattgfunne, wie der Cyrenius Govener in Syria waar. Un en yeders is hiegange fer sich sesse losse, yeders in sei Vadderschtadt. Un Joseph hot sich uff der Weg gemacht vun Galilaea in der Schtadt Nazareth noch em yiddische Land un der Schtadt Daavid, as Bethlehem heest, weil er en Noochkemmling vum Daavid waar un sich datt hot schetze losse solle mit der Maria, seinre Fraa, as schwanger waar. Un wie sie datt aakumme sin, is ihre Zeit kumme un sie hot ihre erschder Buh gebore, hot ihn in Windle geweckelt un in en Fudergang gelegt, weil sie sunscht ken Blatz im Wattshaus hen ghat.

Un es waare Schoofhieder in sellre Gegend im Feld, die hen in der Nacht ihre Schoof ghiet. Un sehnt, em Herr sei Engel is zu ihne kumme un die Glori vum Herr hot um sie geleicht un sie hen sich arig gefarricht.

Awwer der Engel hot ihne gsaat: Farricht eich net. Sehnt, ich verkindich eich groossi Freed, as fer all die Leit in der Welt bschtimmt is. Fer heit is eich der Heiland gebore, Grischdus der Herr, in em Daavid seinre Schtadt. Un des nemmt fer en Zeeche: ihr finne es Kindli in Windle gewickelt un in em Fuderdroog leie. Un dann waare beim Engel viele vun der himmlische Kompanie, hen Gott gelobt un gsaat: Ehr sei Gott in her Heh, Un Friede uff der Erd bei de Mensche In seim Wohlgfalle.

Un nochdem as die Engel in der Himmel zerickgange sin, hen die Schoofhieder zuenanner gsaat: Geh mer noch Bethlehem un gucke mer des aa, was der Herr uns bekannt gemacht hot. Un gschwint sin sie hiegange un hen die zwee, die Maria un der Joseph, gfunne, un aa es Kind im Fuderdroog leie.

Nochdem as sie’s gsehne hen, hen sie’s weit un breet verzehlt, was sie iwwer sell Kind gheert hen. Un all die Leit, wu des grickt hen zu heere, hen sich iwwer die Schtori gwunnert, as ihne die Schoofhieder verzehlt hen.

Awwer Maria hot selli Wadde fer sich bhalde un in ihrem Hatz iwwergedenkt.

Die Schoofhieder sin widder heemgange un hen Gott fer alles gelobt, as sie gheert un gsehne hen, wie’s ihne yo vadderand is gsaat warre.

EVANGELION SANT LUCAS Getruckt zu Zuerich bey Christoffel Froschouer, im Jar as man zalt MDXXXVI (1536)

Es begab sich aber zue der zeyt, das ein gebott von dem Keiser Augusto aussgieng, dass das gantz land bschetzt wurde. Und dise schatzung was die allererst, die do geschach zur zeit do Kyrenius landpflaeger in Syrien was. Und es gieng yederman das er sich schetzen liesse, ein yetlicher in sein statt. Do machet sich auf auch Joseph von Galilea, auss der statt Nazareth, in das Juedisch land zu statt Davids, die da heisst Bethlehem, darumb das er vun dem huss und gschlaecht Davids was: auff das er sich schetzen liesse mit Maria seinem vermaechleten wyb, die gieng schwanger. Und es begab sich, in dem sy daselbst warend, kam die zeit das sy gebaeren solt. Und sy gebar jren erstgebornen sun, und wickelt jn in windlen, und legt jn in ein kripff: dann sy hattend sunst keinen platz in der herberg.

In this year of our Lord 1988, we want to reprint the Christmas Story as translated by Ralph Charles Wood and that which was found in the venerable Froschauer Bible. These are two very special translations of the Christmas Story as recorded in the second chapter of the Gospel according to St. Luke.

The translation into die Mudderschprooch by the late Ralph Charles Wood is taken from the 1968 yearbook of the Pennsylvania German Society, where Wood’s translations of the four Gospels appear.

In addition, we present the translation of the Christmas Story as first printed in 1536 by Christoffel Froschauer in Zurich. Those of our readers who have special interest in the various translations of the Bible into German may wish to compare the language of the modernized Martin Luther’s translation with that printed in 1536 by Froschauer.

Our copy of the Froschauer Bible is the edition printed in 1975 by our esteemed friend, Amos B. Hoover, vun de Moddi Grick, who is in residence on one of the old Lausch farms there, and Die Hutterischen Brueder of the Macmillan Colony in Alberta, Canada. We salute Amos and our Hutterite brethren for this achievement! (An de Moddi Grick geht Bischli-Gnippli in die Karich. Sie waar als die alt Moddi Gricker Deitsch Reformiert Karich gheese. - Hot ennich-ebber gheert schwetze vun “die Moddi Gricker Schoof?”)

Due to the limitations of space, we are not printing the Christmas Story in English. Please refer to your English Bible as you examine the Wood and the Froschauer texts.

Sophia

Schumacher

Junior

Sophia Schumacher is a talented athlete and hardworking junior at EHS. She has many observable, excellent qualities but what stands out the most is her congenial and kind personality toward everyone around her. Along with her bright character, Schumacher is very dedicated to achieving her goals as well as balancing school and soccer.

Written by: Emma Nolt

Schumacher

When it comes to soccer, Sophia Schumacher is committed, knows many skills, and will work with her teammates on the field to perform well in games. During school, she never fails to have a smile on her face, caring for her friends and everyone around her. Schumacher’s favorite class now is Advanced Painting because it gives her brain a break from the hard work school brings, and she enjoys Honors Human Body Systems because it is interesting to her. After school, she plans on attending college, possibly majoring in elementary education, and carrying out her soccer career playing there. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with friends, shopping, and when it’s summertime, Schumacher loves sitting by the beach. She also attends Gracepoint Church in Ephrata on Sundays. Sophia Schumacher believes that working hard in school, soccer, and her job at the Udder Choice restaurant are all notable achievements that are preparing for a life outside of high school someday. Schumacher says, “Learning how to balance my busy schedule has taught me how to prepare for the future.” Her parents Rebecca and Travis Schumacher, who she admires dearly, have helped prepare her for her future as they always show her what a strong work ethic looks like and are always loving towards her family. Schumacher is one of the most gifted and strong students here who represents EHS in an incredible way.

Extracurriculars Bowen does are baseball and piano. In his free time, he likes to practice baseball and work out. Bowen’s hobbies are fishing, hunting, dirtbiking, and of course baseball. He plays on a Warwick 14u section 1 baseball team. Some of his accomplishments are making it onto a Warwick travel team, and also making it to playoffs on that same Warwick team.

The church he goes to is LEFC, and he sometimes attends the youth group there, too.

The person he admires is J.T. Realmuto who plays for the Phillies in the MLB. Bowen respects Realmuto because he is a Christian athlete, and he is very inspirational with what he does. For a career Bowen would like to be a business entrepreneur or possibly an MLB player.

A positive change he would want to see in the world is an end to corrupt governments in the United States and other countries because he believes that there should be

sweethearts should know that pink roses say “Thank you,” which makes them a better choice for friends than lovers.

• White: White roses say “I am the one for you.” White symbolizes true love, purity, innocence, reverence, humility, youthfulness, and charm.

Roses are a popular

on Valentine’s

When accompanied by a box of chocolates, a bouquet of long-stemmed roses is sure to make a sweetheart smile on February 14.

Few people may know that the color of a rose is meant to convey a certain message. As a result, even the most head-over-heels-in-love man or woman may not be saying what they mean to say when giving roses. If that special someone has a favorite color of rose, then it might be wise to give that color regardless of what tradition suggests. But when sweethearts have no such preferences, it might be best to keep this guide, courtesy of ProFlowers®, in mind.

• Red: Red roses say “I love you.” Red is symbolic of love, especially romantic love. Red also symbolizes beauty, courage and respect.

• Pink: Pink is a popular color on Valentine’s Day, but

• Yellow: Yellow roses say “We’re friends and I care about you.” Joy, gladness, friendship, delight, and remembrance are just a few of the sentiments yellow conveys.

• Yellow with red tip: Yellow roses may be best for friends, but yellow roses with red tips say “I’m falling in love with you.”

• Orange/coral: Another awe-inspiring color, orange/ coral roses say “I want you in my life.” This color indicates desire, enthusiasm and fascination.

• Red and white together: A mixed bouquet of red and white roses says “We are a great match.”

Different color roses say different things, meaning Valentine’s Day celebrants can find a rose to convey any message they hope to send this February 14.

Valentine’s Day DINING OUT & GIFTS

Valentines Traditions From Around The World

Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the globe. Come Valentine’s Day, candy, flowers and other gifts are exchanged between sweethearts in one of the many traditions associated with the holiday. The origins of Valentine’s Day are largely unknown. Some suggest Valentine’s Day was initially a way to honor St. Valentine on the anniversary of his death. Others believe it was the Christian church’s way of Christianizing the Pagan celebration of Lupercalia, a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture.

Regardless of its origins, Valentine’s Day is now celebrated by millions and is one of the retail industry’s most lucrative shopping holidays.

later men reciprocate with gifts for women on White Day. South Koreans take Valentine’s Day a step further on Black Day, which falls on April 14. This is an opportunity for all single people who may not have received Valentine’s Day gifts to gather at restaurants and eat a dish called “black noodles” as they celebrate their singleton status.

they were interested in courting or marrying.

Estonia

In Estonia, Valentine’s Day is a day more devoted to friendship than romantic love. It is called “Sõbrapäev” in Estonian, which translates to “Friend’s Day.” Cards and gifts are exchanged among friends.

Wales

Many different traditions can be linked to Valentine’s Day. Here is a list of the interesting ways Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the globe.

South Korea

In South Korea, men get to enjoy the spotlight on Valentine’s Day, as women bestow gifts of chocolate on them. In return, a month

These Scandinavian countries didn’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day until recently, but have now put their own spin on the traditions. Men write funny poems or rhyming love notes called Gaekkebrev and send them to women anonymously. Women must try to guess their admirers by counting

In Wales, Valentine’s Day is not celebrated. Rather, the Welsh commemorate St. Dwynwen’s Day, who is their patron saint of lovers on January 25. It is customary to gift lovespoons, a tradition that likely stems from the practice of sailors carving intricately decorated spoons of wood and presenting them to women

Considered to be one of the most romantic countries in the world, France can be an ideal place to participate in Valentine’s Day traditions. The French have an old custom called “une loterie d’amour,” which is a drawing for love. Single men and women of all ages once entered houses that faced one another and took turns calling out to one another to find romantic matches. The men could refuse the match and leave the woman looking for another man to call on. Women who were not paired up would light a bonfire and damn the men who rejected them. The French government eventually banned the practice because of rowdy crowds.

Italy

Italian lovers celebrate Valentine’s Day in much the same way as Americans. One interesting Valentine’s tradition in Italy is locking padlocks to different structures, which is called “Lucchetti dell’Amore (locks of love).” Couples attach the locks to bridges, railings and lamp posts, inscribe their names and throw away the key. The action suggests the couple will be together forever.

Do You Know?

The Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley, located at 237-249 West Main Street (Route 322), Ephrata, needs your help! They are hoping that Shopping News readers can provide information regarding this photo. Shown in the photo is Salome Albright, who is standing in front of Reamstown’s Lutheran parsonage on February 9, 1961. Salome was the wife of the Rev. John R. Albright, pastor of the Reamstown-Adamstown Lutheran Charge. A report read, “On February 3 and 4 a massive storm had blanketed the immediate area in 14” of snow! Afterward, ‘strong, gusty winds’ caused serious drifting and closed

numerous roads. In Ephrata Borough, people gathered to watch borough streets being cleared with a ‘huge combination plow and grader,’ which worked in tandem with several smaller units and a fleet of trucks. According to newspaper accounts, ‘much of the snow was dumped into the Cocalico Creek from a point on South State Street or deposited on the Gerhart Edgewater development in the same area.’”

If you are able to provide more details about this picture, call The Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley at 717-733-1616 or email cjmarquet@gmail. com. Future “Do You

Know…” photos will be published in upcoming Shopping News issues.

“Don’t Look Back”

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Luke 9:62 - “But Jesus said to him, ‘No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.’”

We do not want to look back once we are committed to Christ. There is no need to give any attention to the allurements of our life in the past. Akin to looking back is to look away and become distracted from our calling. So, what does the scripture say in regard to fixing our gaze in the correct direction? Well, for sure, it’s forward as well as up. Paul’s life is the best illustration of where we should focus our attention.

In Philippians 3:13-14, Paul states, “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the

prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Paul’s view of himself sets the stage for all of us. Wait just a minute… just think about it.

Paul the Apostle, who wrote most of the New Testament epistles, had a direct encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus, planted most of the early churches and suffered brutally at the hands of the self-righteous Jewish leaders, and still he says, “I do not count myself as having apprehended!”

So, we need to start with a true look inward. Some translations render attained instead of apprehended. The Greek means to fully possess, to lay hold of so as to make one’s own, indicating a complete possession of. Paul here is not speaking of salvation that is secure. He is talking about laying hold of the prize, about walking completely in all of God’s call on his life. Wow! We need to be sure that we look inward and adjust our attitude about self. If Paul has this view of himself, what about us? There is a huge gulf between all of what God wants to do in my life and what I allow

Him to do. We need to view ourselves as in dire need of God’s grace and power. Paul certainly was the greatest of all the apostles, and yet he calls himself the least. So, don’t look back, “forgetting those things which are behind.” Don’t look away in distraction, look first inside and then we are ready to look forward as Paul does. Paul goes on to say, “reaching forward to those things which are ahead.” The word for reaching forward actually means to strain. It’s an athletic term as in a race. What lies ahead for the believer? Well, just to name a few: a transformed body without sickness, pain or death, rewards for a life well lived in the Lord, eternal life with God, a new heaven and earth, reunion with those who have gone on to the Lord, no more sin nature (or flesh) to draw us to sin, the rapture, returning with Christ. So, we have much to look forward to. Not only are we to look forward, but we are to look up. Paul says he is pressing on to the upward call. Scripture also says, “looking unto Jesus, the author (initiator)

and finisher (perfecter) of our faith.” (Hebrews 12:2) Remember the disciples as they gazed upward to watch the Lord ascend into heaven? What a sight that must have been! I am guessing the disciples were waiting to see if He would return. Two angels had to urge them on back to Jerusalem, “Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?” (Acts 1:11A) Once back in Jerusalem, they were gathered in that upper room and given the Holy Spirit. We have an upward call, a new nature, and a new dynamic power: the Holy Spirit. So we need the patience of a farmer, the discipline and strain of an athlete, and the battle-ready mind of a soldier to fight the good fight. In order to be and to do all God wants, we must keep clear focus. Our focus is this: don’t look back (quitting), don’t look away (in distraction), look within (humility and dependence), look ahead (to all we have in Christ) and look up (waiting and occupying) until He comes.

First Church Ephrata Sermon Series

The series on The Book of Acts is continuing at First Church Ephrata. If you are watching their services on TV, are using their website streaming or are coming to their services, they hope you will get a better understanding of what is being said in The Book of Acts. So, even if you’ve heard preaching on this book before, come, listen and learn more.

‘The Book of Acts’ is the fifth book of the New Testament and is a historical account of the early Christian church, beginning with Jesus’ ascension and the subsequent spread of the gospel by his apostles. It is essentially a sequel to the Gospel of Luke, continuing the story of Jesus’ ministry through His followers. They would love to have you continue with them for the new series in February.

They are First Church Ephrata, located at 68 North Church Street, and have a Traditional service at 8:30 a.m. and a Contemporary service at 10:30 a.m. They now have both services ‘live streamed’ for those of you who are wanting a morning service at home on their website: https://ephratafirst.

org/, on YouTube at https:// www.youtube.com/@ ephratafirstchurch9278 (click on LIVE) and on Facebook at facebook.com/ FirstChurchEphrata (click on MORE, LIVE). They also have TV coverage of their 8:30 a.m. service on Blue Ridge Cable Channel 11 at 12:00 (Sunday noon). If you miss a sermon, they are archived and can be easily found on any of the above sites except cable. Any questions, please call their church office at 717738-2465.
