Timeless message of Joel Kime’s book even more relevant today

Members of the Lancaster chapter of Well Spouse Association meet at Wegmans.

Well Spouse explores the nature of caregiving

BY JEFF FALK

“This is a way to talk to people who know what we’re going through.”

Wednesdays of every month. The support group for spouses who are taking care of significant others meets via Zoom on the second Wednesday and at Wegmans, 2000 Crossings Blvd., Lancaster, on the fourth Wednesday.

There is a yearly membership fee associated with joining the group.

“Every person’s situation is different,” said Applebaum, a 66-year-old resident of East Lampeter Township. “Our spouses are sick and can’t get out, so the Zoom meeting is convenient.

Some people don’t want their spouses to know they’re doing this. It can be threatening. For most of us, the reality is our spouses are (present in this world), but they’re very different.

We have to transport them, and some can’t talk well.”

Since its inception about nine years ago, the Lancaster branch of Well Spouse Association has had a membership fluctuating between three and eight spousal caregivers. The members are caring for spouses who have had strokes, cancer, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and muscular dystrophy.

roviding care for incapacitated wives and husbands is a huge commitment and an even bigger undertaking. The act can be physically, mentally and emotionally taxing.

But who cares for the caregiver?

Oftentimes, that responsibility falls to the caregivers themselves.

Well Spouse Association is a support group that recognizes that caregiving husbands and wives are more effective when they are healthy.

“This is our therapy,” said Barry Applebaum, the founder of the Lancaster chapter of Well Spouse Association. “This is our respite.

This is a way to talk to people who know what we’re going through.

Sometimes it’s for the friendships that we make.”

“When you become a spousal caregiver, it’s uniquely different,”

continued Applebaum. “It has unique challenges. That person was someone you communicated with. ... But it’s not the same person. You learn to love and care in a different way.”

The Lancaster branch of Well Spouse Association meets at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth

Our relationships with God can be personal and private. But they don’t have to be solitary; they can also be collective in both nature and scope.

Joel Kime’s new book explores those extra-worldly relationships and the impacts that togetherness has on them.

“The book asks the question, ‘ What kind of togetherness produces f lourishing?’” said Kime. “In American society, we’ve long had this emphasis on individualism. Individualism has its good sides, but it also has its dark sides, and it’s also affected theology. We as individuals can have an individual relationship with God. But we can also work together to produce flourishing in our society. There are principles to help guide us that are so

“There was a point with my wife where I was doing everything and I burned out, and I ended up with my own health issues,” said Applebaum. “I want to maintain a sense of who I am. (Well Spouse) keeps me in a world where I talk to people, and it keeps me relevant. We all go through these cycles.

We have good weeks, and we have bad weeks. When I’m feeling down, I realize some people have it worse.”

“The numbers of people who are spousal caregivers is staggering,” said Applebaum. “We’re this well-kept secret. Some contend that the average senior citizen is a spousal caregiver.”

“You reach a point that we call anticipatory grief where we grieve a loved one who is still here,” he added. “For many of us, when a spouse does pass, we grieve extensively. But others come to terms with it quickly because they’ve already grieved. People reach a point where they can’t (give care) anymore.”

A beautiful lesson

The cast of Cavod Theatre’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” rehearses a number from the show.

BY ANN MEAD ASH

According to Monica DePaul, director of Cavod Theatre’s production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” the musical based on the 1831 Victor Hugo classic contains an important lesson for audience members. “I think they’re going to hear the lesson in such a beautiful way with gorgeous music,” said DePaul, who noted that she expects the more than 40 cast members to be “incredibly engaged and give powerful performances.”

“The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” featuring songs from the Disney animated feature, will be presented at the Cavod Theatre, 641 W. Main St., New Holland, with a dinner theater at 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28. The show will also be performed at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 7; at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturdays, March 1 and March 8; and at 4 p.m. on Sundays, March 2 and 9.

The show opens with the pealing of the bells at the cathedral of Notre Dame in 15th-century Paris. Quasimodo, a deformed bell-ringer played

by Ric Weaver, is kept captive by duplicitous caretaker Dom Claude Frollo, played by Caleb Heckman. When Quasimodo escapes for a day, he learns about the cruelty of the world outside his bell tower, and is rescued from a dangerous situation by a beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda, played by Jacqui Schaeffer. Quasimodo is drawn to her, but he is not her only admirer. Both the handsome Captain Phoebus, played

by Mitch King, and Frollo are smitten as well, and the three compete for Esmeralda’s favor.

When Frollo decides to destroy the Roma, Quasimodo must take action to save his love.

The themes of the show represent a bit of a departure from Cavod’s usual family fare. “We have interesting challenges to find a show that actors will want to be a part of and that audiences want to see and (that meets) the values and standards of Cavod,” said DePaul, who added that while she loves lighthearted and fun shows,

Cavod also endeavors to present cautionary tales. “There’s a time and place for shows that will make you think, and this show is more that,” explained DePaul, referring to the age-13-and-up recommendation for children attending. “The theme is that we are all capable of beautiful, wonder ful things, but also of terrible things,” she said.

“When we forget that, we’re in trouble.”

One challenge of staging the show was discerning the best set presentation. “(We had the problem of) how to create a cathedral, bell tower, city streets, a tavern,” said DePaul. To solve that issue, an unusual triangular staging was utilized. “To do set changes, we will have a three-sided set piece that will be turned,” she explained. “The actors will be part of the story telling, explaining where we are as they move the set pieces.”

DePaul noted that a choir will provide the soundtrack of what is happening on stage. “It’s very traditional - as if you went to Catholic Mass in the 1400s,” said DePaul, who noted that choir members have risen to the challenge of learning the Latin lyrics.

According to DePaul, the goal is to convey the lesson contained within the show by using the set, actors, and music to the fullest extent. “We are utilizing the set and the theater to immerse the audience in the storytelling in a way I don’t think we’ve ever done,” she noted, adding that actors will be singing and dancing through the aisles and doing the set changing. “I think it will be interesting and beautiful to watch.”

togetherness.”

In addition to his pastoral duties at Faith Church, Kime teaches Bible and theology courses at Messiah University and Lancaster Bible College. He also instructs ESL (English as a Second Language) courses through Conestoga Valley SEEDS and is part of Faith Church’s worship team at the Lancaster County Prison.

“I want to sell as many books as possible,” said Kime. “I believe in the message, and I believe it can make a positive impact on our society. The primary audience is Christian communities of all shapes and sizes. But I do think it could impact any organization in a positive way.”

“I wanted it to become something more than scholars could read,” Kime added.

“Our society is conflicted in so many ways. A lot of it is ideological conflicts in churches. I believe there is a better way than that individualized approach. How can we together emphasize human flourishing? I hope the book makes a really positive impact in our culture.”

“Flourishing in Community: A Theolog y of Togetherness” is 246 pages in length. The book was produced and released through Wipf and Stock Publishers.

To purchase a copy of the book, search for “Flourishing in Community: A Theology of Togetherness” on www .amazon.com or www.wip fandstock.com.

“In many ways it was difficult,” said Kime. “I think a lot of the writing was done under the pressurized deadlines of school. I thought it was very emotional at times when I had to edit multiple pages. But I think ultimately it made the book clearer and better. I wanted it to be for general population consumption.”

“A lot of it was just editing over and over,” he continued. “I had the most fun and enjoyment writing the stories in the book because it allowed me to be more creative.” In the final portion of the book, Kime applies the preceding material to organizations.

“I grew up in a fairly standard Evangelical Protestant environment that emphasized an individual approach to theology,” said Kime. “My parents have always been a wonderful example of

Kime released his first book, titled “Flourishing in Community: A Theology of Togetherness.”

“As a pastor, each week, you’re writing an essay in your sermon,” said Kime.

“I’m writing every single week because I tr y to preach through books of the Bible. If I’m doing a sermon, I try to write how I talk. Some writing requires more research and less personal opinion. I believe the preparation for writing is just as important as the writing itself. To me, the audience you’re trying to reach makes a big difference in the writing style.”

Kime’s book was inspired by the dissertation “Flourishing Together: A Theolog y of Togetherness” he wrote in May of 2022 during the pursuit of his doctorate at Evangelical T he olo g ical S eminar y, which was established in Myerstown, but is now part of Kairos University.

Pam Oleksa is dedicated to making sure everyone has access to the same kind of care her family did.

T hat ’s why Pam and her husband, Greg , are co-chairs of the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development’s annual gala.

Schreiber’s 41st annual g a l a i s s c h e d u l e d fo r Saturday, March 8, from 5 to 10 p.m. at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton, 2400 Willow Street Pike, Lancaster. The theme is “Havana Nights,” so there will be a Cuban influence, including some Cuban ideas infused into the food.

Local organizations purchase sponsorships, which is a main source of revenue. Schreiber’s Hero sponsors are Faulkner, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, Highmark/ PennState Health, and Miter Foundation. There will be silent and live auction items, including a seven-day trip to Africa. A DJ will supply music.

The inaugural Philanthropist Award will be presented to Dr. Samuel and Dena Lombardo, huge financial supporters of Schreiber for many years and key supporters of a recent expansion.

A highlight of the gala is the unveiling of the yearly Schreiber Ambassadors, who share their stories of perseverance.

Visit https://schreiber pediatr ic.org for more information or to purchase tickets to the gala. Tickets may be purchased until Friday, Feb. 14, or until they are sold out. Donations may be made up to March 10.

Pam and Greg, the latter of whom has been a board member for eight years, are in their third year as gala co-chairs. Their older son, Alex, went to Schreiber for

18 years. “That’s one of the reasons we’re involved,” Pam said.

Alex graduated from Temple University. Now 30 years old, he works as an architect. “Alex has physical disabilities, so Schreiber was who we went to for speech, physical and occupational therapy, and that’s what helped him to be able to go to college and be independent,” said Pam. “That’s why my husband and I have an affiliation with them, to give back to an organization that gave to us for so many years.”

The Oleksas feel companionship with other families that have the same need. “That’s now our goal as parents, to give back to other families, so they, too, can have the same opportunities with their child to be an independent person in the community, living independently,” Pam said.

T he entire family is involved. All three children are Hempfield High School graduates. The Oleksas’ daughter, Ashley, a teacher who was inspired by Alex’s journey, is on the gala committee. The younger son, Nick, lives in Dallas but is returning home to attend the gala.

“It’s our family mission to support this wonderful organization,” Pam said.

“And we have a ton of friends who support us in this mission, some on the board and committee.”

The gala is a major fundraiser for Schreiber. “The reason that we do the gala every year is we’re trying to make up for the $2.5 million deficit for services that are provided to the 2,000 children who receive services every year,” Pam said. “Our goal is to provide services to as many children as possible, even if

they don’t have any ability to pay, their parents don’t have the ability to pay. We still want to provide care to those children.”

Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, 6 2 5 C o m m u n i t y Way, Lancaster, provides occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech, day care, infant care, and preschool for children with developmental disabilities, developmental delays, or acquired injuries.

“We have such an outpouring of support from the community,” said Pam. See Gala pg 7

to know. Because I’m in a co-op where there are so many driven and intelligent moms, we share ideas and concerns. Because we’re able to share things, we’re all better off.”

Homeschooling in Pennsylvania is regulated by state laws, and parents like Fogel aren’t required to be certified to teach their children. But homeschooled students are required to pass tests at specific points of their education journeys.

“I (administer the state evaluations) yearly just to check their progress,” said Fogel. “We do evaluations at the end of each school year and submit the evaluations to the school district (Manheim Township). This year, some homeschoolers have been able to join public schools for certain classes.”

The Fogel children are four of 193 students currently being homeschooled

have been in the classroom,” continued Fogel, “and they asked themselves, ‘Why am I doing this? Why am I separating myself from my child?’”

Fogel is currently homeschooling her four children, Kenneth, 12; Lily, 10; Alana, 8; and Aurora, 4. The Fogels moved to Manheim Township in November of 2020, during the height of the pandemic, and the children have never attended a public or private school.

“My whole thing with homeschooling is that you have to have a child’s heart and discipline first,” said Fogel. “Once that’s established, they wake up knowing this is what we do.

Establishing a rhythm and expectations, it’s hard. Once it’s established, it flows well.”

In the education of her children, Fogel follows a teaching curriculum that includes all the core subjects, including reading, writing, math and social studies. She also utilizes resources from online sources, local homeschool co-ops and other parents who are teaching their children.

Some families employ the use of tutors as a way to supplement their children’s homeschool experiences.

“I graduated from a good school, and I figure things out,” said Fogel. “The Lord gives me the things I need

in Manheim Township.

The Coalition of Homeschoolers Across Lancaster County (CHALC) serves more than 600 homeschool families in the county and surrounding areas.

Fogel noted that she’s heard that the number of homeschool families is growing. “I’ve noticed it in our circles,” she noted. “I’ve heard parents say, ‘We find that it’s so much better.’

But I’ve also heard, ‘I’m not doing this again because it’s so hard.’ Your kids can bring out the best in you and the worst in you.”

“One parent has to stay home, and there is a loss of income,” Fogel continued.

“It’s a sacrifice and a privilege to do. You have to be careful and aware of your resources. It can be expensive, or it can be less expensive. It’s very customizable.

You have to be very wise with the things you spend your time on.”
