fundraiser called Serve­A­Thon. It kicked off with a rally that challenges students to work together as a team and to cheer each other on. The mission of Serve­A­Thon is to live out two of their core values, “Serving is our Strength”

and “Community is our Commitment,” – 1 Peter 4:11 “...If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” This will also provide students with opportunities to serve in the community while developing their God given gifts and talents. Additionally, students will

gain exposure to a wide variety of vocations and careers that can aid in discerning their callings going forward.

IN MEMORIAM

ERNEST WALDO BECHTEL

January 4, 1923 - June 10, 1988 ERINNERINGE

Beim Ernest Waldo Bechtel Wott ich kennt mol widder geh Zu de Yaahre in de dreissich, Wu schier ken Arewet waar, Un die Mensche waare schtreidich.

Der Schmokschtaeck uff de gross Schtaahlmiehl Waar kalt un ruhich gschtanne. Die Fleissichkeit vun alle Mensche Is langsam all vergange.

Der Bauer mit sei Bauerei, Treckders, Geil, un Vieh, Gwuhnt im Schtaab, draus in de West; Des hot ihn uff die Gnie.

Waar yuscht en Bu un hab net gewisst, Un wennicher verschtanne; So wett ich datt zerick Fer vun dem mehner lanne.

Ich daed en yunger Freind mitnemme, Fer weisse wie Dinger waare:

Grankheit un aa Hungersnot In selle schlechde Yaahre.

Mit grosse Wadde hawwich gschwetzt, Wie ich zerickgeh wett, Awwer besser bleib ich daheem Un denk doch net so schepp. MEMORIES

Wish I could return

To the years around 1930, When there was little employment, And men were in conflict.

The chimney on the great steelmill Stood cold and still. The industriousness of all men Slowly vanished.

The farmer with his farm, Tractors, horses and cattle, Lived in the dust out West; This brought him to his knees.

I was just a boy and did not know And understood less; I’d like to return to that time In order to learn more about it.

I’d take a young friend along, To show him how all things were: Sickness and famine In those poor years.

With big words I have spoken Of how I’d like to go back, But I’d better remain at home And not have such crazy ideas.

***

To this poem Ernest Waldo Bechtel appended these words: “Written May 5, 1988. The inspiration for this piece, I think, stemmed from recent news reports of unrest in Poland which resemble the conditions here during the 20s and 30s. However, no one would truly desire to return to

that infamous yesteryear even though nostalgia may have been the motivating factor.” ***

This ECK is being written with a heavy heart, for we have lost our “Alder Kummraad,” Ernest Waldo Bechtel, known in the Dutch world as “der Buschgnippel,” also as “der Gerry Minges.” ERINNERINGE is the last poem from the pen of our beloved “Buschgnippel.” Irene Bechtel gave us the poem the day before this ECK was written. We could think of no better memorial to Ernest Waldo Bechtel than the publication of his last poem.

The comradeship between “der Buschgnippel” and “Bischli­Gnippli” began in the Battle of the Bulge of World War II, even though we had not yet met. Both of us survived the Battle of the Bulge, and Ernie the Malmady Massacre. Our immediate friendship began when “Bischli­Gnippli” began attending performances of Ernie’s Dutch plays in the Reinholds Fire Hall. Since those days, Ernie has written and directed a series of dialect plays, which made him one of the leading Dutch playwrights of his generation. As a school boy, Ernie began to write Dutch verses. We are in the process of collecting his many poems for a special publication. His best poem is DER MENSCH, which we will reprint in the near future. ERINNERINGE is the last of this series of poems.

Beginning in January of 1970 and ending with his departure, Ernie wrote a weekly dialect column in The Ephrata Review. His column, initially “Dummheide,” later “Weissheide un Dummheide,” appeared in The Review for 18­1/2 years. Every Sunday since May of 1971, “Der Buschgnippel,” his wife, “Die Minnie Schnaus,” “BischliGnippli,” and “die Bischlin­Gnipplin” have been riding the airwaves from WLBR in Lebanon. Our program is called “Die Alde Kummraade,” The Old Comrades, and a march by that name is our theme song. This show is a continuation of a similar program which was conducted from 1967 to February of 1971 by the late Johnny Brendel of Reinholds. There will never be another Ernest Waldo Bechtel, for our Pennsylvania German culture is no longer capable of producing a person with his attributes and talents. We thank the Lord for “der Buschgnippel,” for he greatly enriched our lives. He entertained us but he also directed our attention to flaws within us and within the society in which we live. Ernie dedicated many years of his life to the Reinholds Sunday School of which he was the superintendent for 30 years. We wish the restoration efforts there every success. It was quite fitting that Ernest Waldo Bechtel was interred on Flag Day in the Swamp Church Cemetery at Blainsport. His fellow veterans fired in salute over his final resting place. Fellow survivors of the Malmady Massacre were in attendance.

Auf Wiedersehn, “Alder Kummraad,” we shall miss you and never forget you!!!

Three Fun Activities To Help Engage Children In Conservation Efforts

Conservation is a collective responsibility shared by individuals across the globe. Protecting the planet and ensuring its future has never been more important, as various organizations and environmentalists warn that, without immediate action, many of the more harmful effects of climate change could prove irreversible.

The Organisation for Economic Co­operation and Development reports that,

without new policies, global greenhouse gas emissions are projected to increase by 50 percent by 2050. That includes a 70 percent spike in energy­related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

The potentially dire consequences of climate change underscore the importance of educating youngsters about the need to protect the planet.

Today’s children will be forced to confront climate change in the decades to come, so learning about conservation now can help them as they grow up and reach adulthood.

following are three activities that will prove both engaging and educational.

friendly pastime that promotes physical activity and appreciation for nature. That makes hiking an ideal way to teach kids about conservation. Parents can plan a hiking trip that focuses on cleaning up trails. Kids who have a favorite hiking trail may be especially enthusiastic about cleaning up a place they already feel attached to, and parents can let them know they’re doing their part to protect the planet with each piece of litter they collect and ultimately remove from the park.

to retain water. Families can build a compost bin together and parents can teach kids about which types of waste can be composted and how that compost is benefitting the plants and trees in their own yard as well as the planet as a whole.

3. Craft with recycled materials.

Teaching kids about conservation can be fun, and the

1. Clean up a favorite hiking trail.

Hiking is a great family­

2. Teach kids to compost. Parents do not need to leave their homes to teach kids about conservation.

According to the National Resources Defense Council, composting benefits the planet in numerous ways. In addition to reducing the waste stream, composting cuts methane emissions from landfills, which the NRDC reports are the largest source of human­generated methane emissions in the United States. Composting also helps to conserve water by adding organic matter to soil, which research has shown improves the soil’s capacity

Crafting fosters the growth of a range of developmental skills in children. In addition to encouraging kids to explore their creative side, crafting also helps youngsters develop fine motor skills and provides a fun way for them to learn counting and pattern recognition, which the academics­based publisher Scholastic notes are the very skills kids will later use to learn algebra. Crafting also provides a great way to teach kids to reuse and recycle, which are two of the core tenets of conservation.

Conservation efforts will be vital to helping the planet overcome climate change. Children can learn the importance of conservation by engaging in various activities that make protecting the planet fun.

Try These Fall Family-Friendly Outdoor Activities

Children who spend a lot of time outdoors benefit from exposure to nature in myriad ways, some of which may surprise even the most devoted outdoorsmen.

According to a 2006 study published in the journal Human Dimensions of Wildlife, fifth graders who attended school at a local prairie wetlands where lessons in science, math and writing were integrated in an experimental way had significantly stronger reading and writing skills than their peers who attended more traditional schools. Another study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that holding a class outdoors one day a week significantly improved the daily cortisol patterns of students, reducing their risk of stress and improving their ability to adapt to stress.

Parents who want their children to reap the rewards of being exposed to the great outdoors can encourage educators to incorporate nature into school curriculums and also embrace these

family­friendly outdoor activities.

• Nature treasure hunt: A treasure hunt in nature can keep kids engaged on family hiking excursions and provide an excellent opportunity for parents to teach children about the assortment of plants, birds and wildlife that live in the parks and along the trails near their home.

• Outdoor art class: Families don’t even need to leave their properties to spend quality time together outside. Pick a pleasant afternoon and set up an outdoor painting station, encouraging everyone to paint what they see. Fall is a great time to

host an outdoor art sessions thanks to the assortment of vibrant colors that have become synonymous with autumn landscapes.

• Bonfire: Outdoor activities need not be limited to daylight hours. A postdinner backyard bonfire can entice everyone outside, where families can tell scary stories as they make s’mores.

• Stargaze: Stargazing is another way families can spend time outdoors and learn a few things at the same time. Some blankets, a thermos of hot cocoa and a chart of constellations can provide the perfect complement to a sky full of bright stars. If visibility is com­

promised in the backyard, find a local spot where everyone can get a clear view of the night sky.

• Fruit picking: Apple picking is a popular autumn activity, but families need not wait for the autumn harvest to enjoy a day picking fruit or vegetables at a nearby farm. Visit a local farm during its harvest season, teaching children about how the foods they love are grown and eventually make it to the family dinner table.

Families looking to spend more time together in the great outdoors can look to a number of activities people of all ages can enjoy.

Raise The Stakes Of Family Game Night

Getting the entire family together can take a little effort. There is no shortage of activities that pull family members apart most days of the week, from work obligations to sports practices to school events. The United Kingdom­based media provider Independent reported in 2023 on a study of 2,000 parents with children at home. The study found families are only spending six hours a week together, which is less than an hour each day. Furthermore, they only eat

meals as a household four days out of seven.

Eking out more time for family may be as easy as scheduling activities that everyone can rally behind. Family game nights give everyone an excuse to gather at least once a week. These tips can make family game night a can’t­miss activity.

• Start with simple games and branch out. The first step to a successful family game night is choosing the right game to engage all participants. This can be challenging when there are young children, teenagers, middle­aged adults, and even seniors participating. Visit an independently owned toy and games store

(Continued On Page 10A)

Raise The Stakes Of Family Game Night

(Continued From Page 9A)

and pick the brain of the proprietor. He or she will likely have some suggestions to get you started. As participants become more comfortable, you can branch out with games.

• Make it a recurring event. Set a firm day of the week for the game night. This way participants will block out that date and time and make every attempt to attend. Treat game night like any other important appointment.

• Consider games with movement. Game night doesn’t have to mean sitting around a board game, which young children who have

trouble sitting still may characterize as a “bored” game. Games that get people moving, whether it’s charades, drawing games or a game such as Twister™ can be more engaging. Game night also can take activities to a golf driving range or an arcade.

• Gather for the right reasons. Game night should focus on having the entire family together laughing and competing in a good­natured way. It should not be a strict competition where winning is the only goal. Avoid the potential for sore losers who can sour game nights in a flash by letting everyone know that fun is the foremost priority of the night.

• Offer prizes. Encourage participation with the lure of prizes at the end. Prizes will not just go to the overall winner. There can be

humorous awards, such as the player who messed up trivia questions the most, or the one who rolled matching pairs of the dice most frequently. You can customize the winning categories depending on the game played so everyone gets a fighting chance at a prize. Keep awards simple, like candy bars or other appealing treats.

• Identify a “game master.” Every game night should feature a game master who presides over the rules of the game. The rules can be the ones strictly off of the information sheet, or the ones you customize for your own fun. The game master’s job is to make sure the rules are enforced, but also to determine when it’s alright to let things slide.

Family game nights are a vital way to bring everyone together at least once a week in a manner that is entertaining and fosters solid family relationships.

Get To Know Jack Of The Lantern

The toothy grins of jacko’­lanterns are as much a part of Halloween as candy corn and costumes. Even though these carved pumpkins have become synonymous with Halloween, the festive gourds weren’t always tied to the October holiday.

The history behind jacko’­lanterns is not entirely known and there are multiple origin stories, but people may have been making these carvings for centuries.

One tale traces the origin back to Ireland and a popular Irish myth. According to History.com, the tradition involves a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack.” As the story goes, Stingy Jack invited the devil to share a drink with him. Being the cheapskate his name implies, Jack didn’t want to pay for the drinks, and he convinced the devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy

the beverages. After the devil transformed, Stingy Jack instead pocketed the money and placed it next to a silver cross, which prevented the devil from changing back into his original form. Jack made the devil promise that should Jack die, he wouldn’t claim his soul. Eventually Jack freed the devil, but not before he tricked him again with another con.

When Stingy Jack eventually died, legend states God would not allow such a trickster and unsavory character into heaven. The devil could not claim Jack’s soul as promised, but he was upset by the tricks Jack had played. In turn, the devil then sent Jack off to wander the dark night infinitely with only a burning coal to light the path. Stingy Jack put the (Continued On Page 11A)

(Continued From Page 10A)

coal into a carved­out turnip and has been traversing the planet ever since. Irish storytellers first began to refer to Jack’s specter as “Jack of the Lantern.” Eventually the name was shortened to “Jack O’Lantern.”

There are other origin stories regarding jack­o’lanterns. Some say the term originated in 17th century Britain, where it was often customary to call men whose names were unknown a common moniker like “Jack.” Night watchmen who carried lanterns might have been called “Jack with the lantern.”

Other theories connect jack­o’­lanterns to the Celtic pagan practice of hallowing out root vegetables and carving them with grotesque faces. Illuminated by coal or candles, these items served to ward off evil spirits. When settlers came from Europe to America, where turnips and other root vegetables were scarce, they used native pumpkins instead.

Jack­o’­lanterns are often seen lighting up the Halloween night. There are various theories regarding the origins of the carved gourds. While the truth may never be fully known, it’s fun to learn about the various origin stories connected to this popular symbol of Halloween.

A sling and a stone.

Author: Wenger

Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:50

“So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone.”

Don’t be afraid of impossible odds. But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.” The contrast is clear. The odds are so stacked against David as the world sees it. Even the seasoned warriors were fearful of this giant and with good reason. Saul and the armies of Israel only see man. David sees God and depends on His deliverance. God loves the impossible situation. Circumstances like this reveal God’s

greatness and glory. He wants us to realize, “It’s not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord” (Zechariah 4:6). God is the one who delivers not the chariot and the horse. God was regularly reminding Israel of this because so often the odds weren’t in their favor and they had to depend on Him. Remember Moses while they were in battle, when Moses held his hands and staff up, Israel would be winning the battle. When he put his staff and arms down, the Amalekites would begin to win. Aron and Hur had to help him keep his arms and staff up to win the battle. So, don’t be afraid of impossible odds: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

Allow God’s past deliverance to boost present faith. David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock, I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab

it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it. Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.” David clearly applies the principle of past deliverance to ensure confidence for the present. David added, “The Lord, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” What a faith for a teenager. Little is much when God is in it. “And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.” David realized quickly that Saul’s armor would only hinder him. He knew how to use a sling and a stone. His Lord would have to give the victory with the weapons of a Shepherd not a Soldier. I happen to believe that God put a lot more velocity behind that stone. The narrative said the stone sank into the giant’s forehead. David placed the stone, God powered it

Put your confidence in the Lord. But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell face down on the ground.” I like the fact that he ran towards the giant. His confidence in the Lord was so evident at each turn. This leads us to the last takeaway:

Depend on God’s deliverance and give Him the glory when He delivers. 1st Samuel 17:47 ­ “That all the assembly shall know that the Lord does not deliver with a sword and a spear.” God deserves all the glory, let’s be sure we give it to Him before everyone.

* On September 8, 2012, a pair of Elvis Presley’s undershorts, which had been framed under glass, failed to sell at a British auction, though they’d been optimistically expected to go for more than $10,000.

* On September 9, 1942, a Japanese seaplane dropped incendiary bombs near Brookings, Oregon, in the first such attack on the U.S. mainland. The bombs were intended to start a forest fire, but fortunately caused little damage, due

* “Beautiful umbrella stands don’t have to be limited to umbrellas. We keep sports equipment (bats, a lacrosse stick, yoga mat) in ours and it works just as well.” T.J. in Kansas

* Make your own camping lamp: Strap a head lamp to a full gallon jug of water. It fills the tent with a soft light, and you can still drink the water!

* Use rubbing alcohol to clean window frames and trays. It evaporates quickly with no residue left behind.

* “If you have a retractable cord on your vacuum, try this trick. Clip a clothespin at the optimum length, and the cord will not retract past that point. So, no more snapping right out of the outlet, which used to happen to me.” P.L. in Tennessee

* Coffee filters make wonderful glass cleaners. They leave behind no streaks and no residual lint.

* Old socks can be fit around the head of an old mop or Swiffer base. Spray with cleaner and clean away.

to wet conditions. Twenty years later, the pilot, Nobuo Fujita, visited Brookings in a gesture of reconciliation and friendship.

* On September 10, 1920, F. Scott Fitzgerald published his first short story collection, “Flappers and Philosophers.” In a copy he sent to editor and critic H.L. Mencken, Fitzgerald labeled four of the stories “worth reading,” one “amusing” and the remaining three “trash.”

* On September 11, 1841,

When you are done, remove the sock and launder.

* “Every member of our family has a plastic bin in his/her closet to hold items not currently in use. For the littler ones, it’s handme­downs that are not quite ready for use. For my husband and myself, it is out of season items. And for everyone, there is a bin in the garage where we place usable items that no longer fit. Whenever it’s full, we either donate it or start planning our next tag sale.”

A.E. in Massachusetts

* “If you have to talk to someone at the cable company, call on a Thursday (unless it’s urgent), as that’s the day they tend to have the fastest response times, experts say.” J.C. in Florida

* If you have lost a zipper pull, you can create a temporary one with a paperclip.

* You can use a salad spinner to gently “wring out” delicate hand washables. Remove excess water, and then hang dry or lay flat according to the garment’s instruction.

* Here’s an oldie but a goodie! Iced coffee is at its best when brewed with twice the usual amount of ground coffee, because the coffee is diluted by the

American portrait painter John Goffe Rand received a patent for the first collapsible tin paint tube. Until then, artists had to mix their own oil paints, storing leftover supplies in animal bladders tied with string. French artist Pierre­Auguste Renoir later declared that “without paints in tubes there would have been no Cézanne, no Monet, no Sisley or Pissarro, nothing of ... Impressionism.”

* On September 12, 1972, cowboy actor William Boyd, best known for his role as Hopalong Cassidy, died at the age of 77. He was the first cowboy actor to make the transition from movies to television, after more than 50 successful B­grade

(melting) ice cubes. Or use regular­strength brewed ice coffee and serve over coffee ice cubes. They’re easy to prepare: Pour cool brewed coffee into ice­cube trays and freeze.

* Clear bins make it easy to group like items in your pantry. You can remove the bin, get what you need and replace it rather than digging through cans and boxes on a shelf and having to straighten it back up when you’re done.

* Stuck zippers can be loosened with graphite powder or simply by tracing a pencil lead over the zipper.

* Got memorabilia? Use a reasonably sized plastic storage bin for each child. Include folders noting each school grade for art and important academic papers. It can be a very special collection that you can give to your child when he is an adult.

* According to the American Academy of

Westerns in which he was accompanied by his faithful and exceptionally intelligent horse, Topper.

* On September 13, 1940, Benito Mussolini’s forces crossed the Libyan border into Egypt, achieving what “Il Duce” described as the glory Italy had been seeking for 300 years.

* On September 14, 1975, Elizabeth Ann Seton (née Bayley), who was raised Episcopalian but later converted to Catholicism after being left a widow with five children, was canonized by Pope Paul VI at the Vatican in Rome, becoming one of the first Americanborn Catholic saints.

Pediatrics, “each 12­ounce soft drink contains approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories. Drinking just one can of soda a day increases a child’s risk of obesity by 60%.” Talk to your children about making smart choices both in the lunch line and at the vending machines.

* Got a child going off to college? Before you leave campus, go together to the health center, and make sure your kid knows who to call/ where to go for emergency or urgent care, both on campus and off. Not knowing can sometimes cause a delay in getting care, turning a bad situation worse.

* Returning to school can mean returning to sports after a summer hiatus. Be smart, and follow these guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics: Give yourself at least one recovery day off each week; be sure you are wearing the proper gear and that it’s properly fitted; don’t forget to cross­

train (general exercises to strengthen your muscles and keep you flexible); take breaks and hydrate to avoid overheating; and have your coach reinforce the proper technique and safety rules.

* Keep cut veggies crunchy by lining a plastic or glass storage dish with coffee filters and then adding your cut vegetables, like carrot sticks and celery.

* Keep a pretty basket by your front door for anything that needs to go out with you when you leave. This can be store returns, backpacks, exercise gear for the gym, your sunglasses, whatever. When you leave the house, check the basket!

* “I use small tension rods to hold wrapping paper in my laundry room. I have the birthday/general use ones upright under a desk (they fit and don’t fall over, so I can store them close together) and the holiday ones are in the very top of a high shelf in the cabinet, out of the way.” C.S. in Mississippi

* If you have a little bit of touchup paint left in your gallon can, transfer it to a

mason jar. Write the exact color and brand on the lid, and it will be much easier to store.

* Fold and snip a coffee filter into a paper snowflake. Lay over an iced cookie or cake to sift a sugar design on top.

* “Our basement was dark and a little claustrophobic. My husband painted it a lovely sunny yellow and that helped, but it needed something else. I took a photo of the spectacular view at our son’s house in Montana, and had the photo blown up. We mounted it on the wall with some dummy curtains! It’s perfect, and it reminds me of him.” R.W. in New York

* Need to chill a bottle of wine quickly? Wet a kitchen towel, then wrap it around the wine. Twist the ends to secure, and put the whole thing in the freezer for 30 minutes.
