The Proving

By BEVERLY LEWIS

Reviewed by AMANDA NIXON Amish Heartland Contributor

I

n this latest novel by Beverly Lewis, “The Proving” is a great story of redemption and forgiveness.

Mandy Dienner has left her Amish world and joined the English world for the last five years. When she finds out her mother passed away unexpectedly and left her successful Bed & Breakfast to her, she packs up and heads home.

One condition to full ownership is that she needs to run it successfully for one year. Planning to get through the year and then sell the inn seems like a great plan, but destiny may have another for her.

Going back is not an easy task. Learning the ins and outs of the inn is a daunting challenge that only seems more and more insurmountable with time as it seems everything Mandy does, upsets the customers and her people.

Can Mandy overcome the challenge and keep the inn successful? She will have to face her past and learn to forgive. Will her twin and her be able to restore

their sisterly love or is it too late? Returning home is not always the easiest road to travel, but Mandy is determined to see it through.

A GR ATEFUL MOMENT IN A DAY OF THANKSGIVING Story by Executive Director

M A RC U S YODE R Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center

November

olidays are special, whether one is Amish or English. In the Amish world, of special importance are the holidays that focus on family and faith. Christmas is celebrated because of the birth of Christ. Good Friday and other traditional Christian holidays are also special. Since we are in the fall season we will take a closer look at Thanksgiving and how the Amish world expresses itself on this uniquely American holiday.

My earliest memories as a little Amish boy were of the smells that extended from the kitchen of our home as my mother prepared for the holiday. Often, we were headed to an extended family gathering and she would prepare a dish, or several to take along. The sight of the pumpkin pies, or the mashed potatoes were nearly more than one could bear without sneaking a bite or two, or more! She would shoo us out of the kitchen and tell us

This small window into my own memory of Thanksgiving pasts, reflects the importance of three things in the Amish world; faith, family, and the farm. that we had to wait for the meal and the day that was coming.

As we gathered at Grandpa and Grandma’s house with the cousins and uncles and aunts, of whom I had many, the food would be finished and served. Turkey and ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, a vegetable, and always noodles. Then on to the table laden with desserts. Ahh the pies, and the cakes, pudding, and much more. We would visit and play until someone called us together for lunch. Grandpa, with his shining, bald head would say in Dutch, “if we are all here, lets bow our heads in prayer.� And for a moment silence would reign. In that moment, in our hearts, whether we could articulate it or not, gratefulness assailed our senses.

Then we would eat. Since there were twelve children and about thirty grandchildren we would file through the line. In the traditional Amish way, the eldest male would go first, and we would continue to file through by age. In this way age and wisdom were honored and we all learned deferred enjoyment as we waited our turn. But then load our plates we did! The creamy potatoes covered with rich gravy, the succulent turkey, and the rich desserts made the wait worthwhile. Then after the meal we would play until chore time, then the cows were milked, horses fed, and off we went to the house for another round at the same food again. As we traveled home in the dark, starlit November evening a feeling of contentment was marrow deep in the little boy, now sleepy in the back of the buggy.

This small window into my own memory of Thanksgiving pasts, reflects the importance of three things in the Amish world; faith, family, and the farm.

In that gathering were elements of faith as we bowed our heads in silent prayer and gratefulness for the meal, both before we ate and after we ate. In that moment we followed hundreds of years of tradition as we followed the path of faith in expressing gratefulness to God for not only the food, but also the heritage of faith that God has called our people to.

In addition to faith, is the importance of family in our world. The Amish world always involves family and we make decisions based on how it will affect our family life.

When we gathered around the table in the old farmhouse that my Grandparents lived in, we were celebrating family. People in this community often ask who your parents are, and make familial connections that extend back three generations. Nearly everyone is connected to many others in the community. This is important, and in essence has kept our community connected in a world that is often global and disconnected.

The third factor is our deep appreciation for the farms, lands, and soil of our world. Thanksgiving celebrated the glories of harvest and the rich bounty of the soil.

Meat from the larder and vegetables from the garden were harvested, stored, and would keep the family fed over the winter. For that reason, every Thanksgiving since we have gathered, now with my own family, to celebrate the gifts of faith, family and the richness of the farm with those we love. Happy Thanksgiving!

Marcus Yoder was born to an Amish family in the heart of Amish Country. His family later moved to the Mennonite Church where Marcus takes an active role in preaching, teaching and writing.

He is the Executive Director of the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center. In his thirties he decided to return to school and has a BA in History from The Ohio State University and a MA from Yale.

He enjoys reading and writing and spending time with his wife, Norita.

FIND A TASTE OF FALL at Hillcrest Orchard of Walnut Creek

Story & photos by BEVERLY KERR Amish Heartland Writer A PPL E C I DE R becomes a favorite drink during autumn, and apples are ranked number one in the top ten healthiest foods. So harvest time felt perfect for a trip to Hillcrest Orchard of Walnut Creek to get fresh apples and cider. Rain or shine, this is a bustling place in the fall.

With over 20,000 bushels of apples this year, they have over twenty varieties from which to choose. Two customer favorites are Golden Delicious and Honey Crisp, my personal choice. Their newest variety is now available – Evercrisp, a combination of Honey Crisp and Fuji.

Hillcrest Orchard has been in the family since 1968.

Today Merle and Lela Hershberger own and operate the orchard with help from their children. Their grandfather, Jacob Hershberger, still helps out as often as possible.

With over 75 acres of apple trees and 5 acres of peach trees, the Hershberger family works all year round.

When the new year begins in January, it's time to trim trees and remove a block of old trees.

Then in April, it's planting time each year for 14

approximately 4,000 dwarf trees – most of them apple.

Luckily, they have a tree transplanter, which is pulled behind a tractor. They can sit on the transplanter and drop in the new trees three feet apart. With this method, they can plant over 1,500 trees in one day.

There's always work to be done. After planting trees, the trunks are hand wrapped with wire to keep them straight. Trellises, holding two wires that go through the trees, keep the branches from hanging to the ground.

During the summer months, the apples need to be thinned on each tree. An apple tree can not be too full of apples for best production.

In the fall when picking begins, some extra help is needed from young people in the community. All the apples are hand picked from ladders. That is one of the reasons they switched to dwarf apple trees so they could more easily be reached.

Fresh pressed apple cider is made at their business operation every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

During October they make 4,000 gallons each week.

One Friday/Saturday last year they sold 2,250 gallons.

Their cider is unpasterized so it's placed immediately in a cooling tank. That also means that it's only good for about two weeks. Be sure to get a free sample while visiting.

Whatever cider isn't sold is placed into wooden barrels for one year. There it becomes apple vinegar, which is also available at their store.

However, apples and their products aren't the only

thing on hand. Hillcrest Orchard's the perfect place to find organic fruits and vegetables while in season.

Their products look picture perfect. You can also buy pumpkins, mums, baled hay or straw. You'll be surprised at all the treats available.

Outside during the fall months, you'll enjoy the flavor of Hostetler Kettle Corn. Freshly popped in the lot, the smell draws you to their tent. Pick up a bag to munch on while driving home through beautiful Amish country.

The children and grandchildren feel part of the business as they have grown up in the orchard and store.

Hopefully, those youngsters will someday continue providing apples and peaches for all to enjoy.

Merle's son, Mark, lists pressing cider and picking apples as his favorite chores. When asked what he'd like to do in the future, his answer, “Plant more trees.” What do these hard working young men like to do for fun?

Deer hunt! There's evidence of that around their store with several deer head mounts.

Hillcrest Orchard is open from July through April. It has even become a requested stop for tour buses. Many people make an annual visit there in the fall and some stop by often to pick up fresh produce. One man said he took the cider home and froze it in small containers so he could have fresh tasting cider for months to come.

Stop by the orchard and pick up some apples straight from the tree. Apples can be enjoyed in so many different ways: apple pie, applesauce, apple butter, apple crisp, dipped in caramel, or just take a bite of a fresh, juicy one. However you decide to use the apples, they will taste delicious.

Remember, apples are also healthy, so that old adage of 'an apple a day' is a good rule to follow. Stop at Hillcrest Orchard of Walnut Creek on your next trip to Amish Country and experience the fresh taste of fall.

recipes. ingredients 1 (15 lb.) turkey 1 qt. water Salt

Gravy

1 c. butter, browned 2 c. flour Bring to a boil: 2 qt. chicken broth 1 qt. water Beat together: 6 egg yolks 1 c. water or milk

directions Pour water into bottom of large roaster. Loosen skin on turkey and rub salt underneath skin onto meat.

Bake breast-side down for several hours until done.

While still warm, discard skin and bones. Cut turkey into fairly small pieces. Put turkey back into roaster in the turkey broth.

Gravy: Slowly add butter/flour mix to boiling broth, stirring with wire whisk to prevent lumps. Add yolks/water mix continuing to stir with whisk. Return to a boil. Pour onto reheated turkey and bake until ready to serve. *If using a smoked turkey, omit salt. I like to bake the turkey the day before. This can be kept hot for several hours and turkey will not dry out.

Gravy will be quite thick, but the turkey broth will thin it to the right consistency.

–FROM THE DESK OF JAVON MILLER– See Then That Ye Teach Them Submitted by JAVON MILLER | Amish Heartland Contributor

“And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.”

EXODUS 18:20

A

s you pass through our communities you will inevitably notice the quaint little schoolhouses setting in various neighborhoods. This is a privilege that we appreciate very much. Why, you may ask, do they have these small schools? How do these function? Are they taught the same as a large public school? Can these pupils learn as effectively with a teacher that has only an 8th grade education versus those with a college degree?

Although I personally went through a public school, I will try to give you a glimpse of the life of an Amish parochial scholar. To begin this we need to understand the foundation that supports these schools. This past year we saw the need to reopen a school that was not in operation for eight years. It's doors had been closed due to low attendance. We live in the center of our community and the growth opportunities are limited 24

November

due to lack of available homes. We were sending our children to a neighboring district's school via hired taxi driver. Our families have now grown to the point that we could once again justify opening the doors.

With our church district and the cooperation of some neighboring families, we have around 22 pupils this first year. With two teachers on board we have a small but complete school.

I have often been asked if it costs us extra to operate our own schools. Yes, we count it as worthy though to pay extra. Our school transportation the last few years cost us around $40 a week and tuition is from $125$200 a month, depending on pupil enrollment and family size. This is all paid from our own finances and yes, we also pay taxes to support the local public school districts.

Our regional school system has a board that oversees the whole territory. These “bylaws” state that when a school reaches around 40 pupils, plans should be made. We parents had a meeting and it was decided to pursue the possibilities of reopening “our” school. The planning was a cooperation of the grandparents that originally built the school and today's current parents, many of whom were past students of the school. The opinion was unanimous. We would try to make it possible. The first order of business was to elect a school board. We requested that a grandfather be on the board for the first year for both seniority and experience. The grandfathers agreed to be included in the ballot and so it came to be that three men were appointed.

Next order of business was to pursue more attendees.

The search was on and feelers were sent out. The general consensus was that there was possibly enough for enrollment, but there were no solid answers. We committed parents discussed it and decided that we would proceed in faith that God would supply our needs.

We evaluated the condition of Walnut Hollow School.

It was almost discouraging. After sitting empty for all these years, it was in dire need of repair and updating.

It is a valuable lesson for us people. If we let our center of learning, the mind, sit idle it will not improve. It will slowly deteriorate into a deplorable condition. We need to continually challenge and exercise it for optimum health.

The cost looked fairly large for half a dozen families to fulfill, but various members of our church that have no scholars, encouraged us to continue. We were assured that the bills would be paid, so with the moral and financial support of our elders we proceeded. It took a lot of time, sweat and effort. Multiple “work bees” were

planned and all hands linked to the tasks at hand. As the work nights were planned, potential parent prospects were invited to participate and ask questions as we worked. Semi-retired grandparents, young married couples with no children, parents of scholars, teenaged and unmarried youth and the elementary aged pupilsto-be all joined hands at the end and a working school emerged.

The board had a few weeks of uncertainty as opening day drew near. The senior teacher was with us from the start but a co-teacher was yet to be appropriated.

It all came together and opening day was here. Fresh faced eager scholars headed off to school on their bikes. The first weeks were a time of transition. A lead teacher with three or four years experience, a first time teacher, albeit growing up in the system, a group of unfamiliar scholars, some public school transplants and an eager group of bright eyed kindergarteners led to an interesting couple of beginning weeks.

The first parent teacher meeting, a monthly occurrence, assured us we made the right decision.

All parents expressed their pleasure at seeing a once dormant school once again throbbing with life. The teacher's patient guidance as new relationships were established among the pupils was a God given blessing.

Amish Heartland

25

One parent stated that their public school transplant would have instantly switched back to public school during the first week, but by the next you would be hard pressed to induce him to change. He especially enjoys the opportunity to play softball with the upper graders even though he says, “I thinkI make all the outs on my team!” This boy still feels accepted and needed as a teammate. I assume that his evaluation of his abilities might well have been lower that what the casual observer would see. I know, I was there! Not all of us are blessed with the same abilities, but in a smaller school we are all needed or else the game could not go on!

Another parent that approached this step with some trepidation commented that they are happy to have made the switch and they know that their children would not want to go back to the other style of classes. What makes our way of having school especially rewarding is to see the pupil-teacher interaction at church and in social functions. It is not unusual to see a starry eyed youngster sit with a beloved teacher during services. The older, more reserved ones keep it to a bright eyed smile for their teacher. This is a system that allows our juniors to develop positive role models in life. Our teachers are a part of our church and community social circles.

No, our schools are not perfect! This is the reason we have our regular meetings to be informed of what is happening at school. At these parent-teacher meetings, the teacher explains what all the grades are currently learning. It is very interesting to hear some parents sympathize with the pupils as the teachers describe the difficulties of new concepts in Math and English.

It seems that many of our fathers never enjoyed the task of diagramming sentences, finding predicates, object or the verb and notating the different structures of a sentence. It is also interesting to note that some of these that did not enjoy school are now successful leaders and business managers and can now look back and recognize the need for these studies. Through the communication between parents and teachers, the teachers are encouraged by parental support and pupils are then given support by their parents. Parents have a better understanding of what the teachers' needs are and we are all able to promote learning in a beneficial way.

I find it interesting to observe the curriculum of our schools. As a product of the public school system and an enthusiastic scholar, I would have enjoyed college strictly for the added opportunity of “book learning.”

The model of curriculum we use is different from what I was used to. I appreciate how we merge various subjects as our children learn the fundamentals. Penmanship is done by writing about History and Social Studies.

In English or Language, we diagram sentences about proper manners, hygiene and public etiquette. The list could go on. All our studies are centered around building better citizens and teaching the core values of our Christian heritage.

A day at school usually starts with the whole group singing a few songs together. The students choose and lead the song. Often a short “devotional” or story is shared by the teacher. Fathers and some men of the church take turns once a week to go to the school in the morning and share this responsibility with the teachers.

Then one by one the classes of 1-6 pupils are called up to the class table to go over lessons and exercises with the teacher. Once they get the general idea, they return to their desks and work at their own schedule. They have the day's assignments on the board to follow if they get done with one subject and are ready to move on to the next. During this period a quietly raised hand indicates a pupil needing questions answered. At times some of the older students will then, without ado, get up and answer the youngster's question so the teacher may continue with her classes. This is all done in the same classroom under the governing eye of the teacher. It is very encouraging for me to see a 4th grade boy with a question in Math being helped by a 7th or 8th grade girl, and doing so with graciousness and respect. It is evident that a new teacher prospect is being cultivated amongst them.

To break up the monotony of routine, we have some variances. Every few weeks a mother will bring in hot lunch. This entails preparing a full “potluck” lunch and serving it at school. Granted, a monumental undertaking. Once again, it ties our family and the school together. I personally enjoy taking a few hours off and joining the school children in this. The highlight is recess after lunch. What son doesn't delight in his dad being there to help with the daily ballgame? It appears to be a highlight to the other pupils as well, often recess might be prolonged by 15 minutes or so, as the teachers pretend not to note the time!

As the school term approaches the end of the winter doldrums, the teacher might assign some upper graders to take a younger class and teach them. This puts

the student in the teacher's position and I am sure enlightens them to some areas where improvement could be made as a scholar.

All things are then summed up with that end of year school picnic! A short program, graduation and then family fun! A hearty, heavy laden table of food is done justice to. After that, the ball game begins.

First it will be pupils matching up in a routine game, and then the Dads against the upper graders. Some of us less wizened fathers will be groaning from a well leveled life, the bubble definitely being well centered in that middle aged spread. These wish that they had not indulged in that last piece of pie or pile of pudding.

One of the more prudent parents sums it up well, “I will go light on dessert until after the game. The food will stay out all afternoon.” Yes, he is right. The table is open all afternoon. His antics during the game are enough to ensure a hearty appetite after the game as well. It appears to be his highlight of the year, much to the spectators delight. During the day we merge as parents, church leaders, scholars, teenage youth group and grandparents into one big enjoyable day. A perfect ending to a “perfect” year. Yes, we have our issues to work on and ripples arise, but “Let brotherly love continue...Now the God of peace...Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ.”

Hebrews 13:1, 20-21.
