Remembering the Singing Mayor
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
ow do you tell the story of a man who touched so many lives? When it comes to Clarence “Chuck” Mummert Jr., there are not enough words according to Chuck, affectionately known as the “Singing Mayor,” passed away at age 78 on April 19. He leaves behind a legacy of love, showmanship and abounding faith.
“He was bigger than life,” said his daughter, Heather Dunsford. “And he loved

250 Years of History
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
As the country marks its semiquincentennial this year, the Winters Heritage House Museum is taking an active role in the celebration. The museum, located at 47 E. High St., Elizabethtown, is a nonprofit affiliate of America250PA, explained director Teresa St. Angelo, and it will host a speaker series, a unique walking
tour and more this spring.
“America250PA is a valuable opportunity to join museums and other historical sites across Pennsylvania to promote the history of our nation in a variety of ways that engage people from all communities,” St. Angelo explained. “As a result of being a nonprofit affiliate, we can follow and share with our community the programs and events that are being held across
Hope in Fantasy
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
E.R. Scrivener believes adults need fairy tales.
“Fairy tales are hope for the darkness of this world,” said the Mount Joy writer. “The reality of living in this world is so hard sometimes. That’s why fairy tales are important, because they give you that happy ending.”
Wanting to share her love of fantasy stories, Scrivener decided to write a book.
“I’ve always wanted to be a writer,” she said, although she earned a degree in social studies education and was a teacher for several years. “Seven years ago, right before COVID, I began focusing on writing. I would write while my daughter was napping, and I wrote my first novel that year.”
She had friends beta test the work, and she realized it wasn’t ready for publication.
“I wrote another novel. I wrote short stories. I took classes, and I got feedback from anyone who would read my stories,” she said, adding that her friend and fellow author K.R. Fenner was instrumental in the process. “I just learned a lot.”
She wrote three novels that she says “will never see the light of day,” but she kept improving.
She also began to lead a group at her church, Mount Calvary in Elizabethtown, after the women’s director at the church asked her what gifts she could bring to the ministry.
She came up with Nook, a book club for women that she leads with a friend.
“I started Nook five or six years ago,” she said. “We started with several women meeting at my house and other houses, and

more than 55 years, Linda, he was everything.
“We met on a blind date,” Linda recalled of her first encounter with Chuck, when they went to a high school football game. He had moved to Savannah, Ga., Linda’s hometown, after graduating from college, and he taught at a local Christian school.
Linda remembered her first impression of Chuck.
“I liked him right away,” she said, noting that she admired his passion for service.
Chuck’s son, Duane “Mike” Mummert, said his dad told him it was love at first sight.
“He said after the first date, he was in love,” Mike recalled, noting that his father initially worried they might not have much in common. Chuck was a jock, while Linda, a proud National Honor Society member, focused on academics.
Despite those differences, including their striking height contrast, with Linda at 5 feet tall and Chuck at 6-foot-2, they clicked right away and were married less than a year later.
The couple moved to New Jersey, where Chuck was a high school music teacher, before relocating to Palm, Pa., in 1975. There,
they raised Heather and Mike, with Chuck working as a traveling salesman.
Although he was often gone for long stretches, he stayed connected to his family, Heather said.
“He was a good dad. He was very intentional,” she shared. “Every single night, he’d call us from the road at 6 o’clock.”
Chuck worked for more than 17 years in music sales with Sparrow Records, Word Records and Integrity Music, where he was awarded Salesman of the Year honors.
Naming his company “Integrity” was also intentional, and that’s a trait he passed along to his children.
“His word was his bond,” Heather commented. “If he said he was going to do something, he did it.”
Eventually, Heather and Mike went off to college, and both moved out of the state. One day, Chuck suggested to Linda that the couple should move back to Elizabethtown to be near his aging parents.
In 2001, they bought a house on Hampden Road, and Chuck dove right into community work.
“He really loved E-town,” Linda said. “He decided he wanted to be part of the local government,
which was something he hadn’t done yet. He wanted to work with people.”
During his time as mayor, Chuck joined the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs (PSAB), and he took an active role in the organization.
“These are real people with a real desire to change and improve their area,” Linda said. “People were very important to him. He wanted to become involved in a way to help people - that was his mission.”
Chuck served as president and past president of the PSAB and was selected as Mayor of Year for the state of Pennsylvania. When the organization holds its annual conference later this month, it will feature a video of Chuck and tribute to his service.
Chuck sang with the Courier Quartet and traveled with the ViCounts for 14 years. Linda served as his secretary and appointment maker, keeping him on track with his busy schedule.
The family traveled across the country and internationally, often accompanying Chuck on his work trips. When Heather and Mike were in elementary school, the Mummerts visited Israel, where Chuck had the unique opportunity to sing

gram is for people age 14 and older.
“In the Garden” in the actual spot that inspired the song, the Garden of Gethsemane.
Chuck was also very involved as a partner with LCBC in Manheim, where he led the pastor’s prayer for many years.
He was proud of his family, which includes three grandchildren and one great-granddaughter, and he loved his dog, Pepper. He also had a quirky sense of humor.
“He told a lot of dad jokes,” Heather said. “He also had his own words for things, which we called ‘Chuckese.’”
After a brief illness following a cancer diagnosis, Chuck passed away at home, with his family and his beloved dog by his side.
“He really was a good guy,” Linda said. “Very seldom do you meet someone who is a genuinely good person, and he was.”

Shop, Eat and Explore at Marietta Day
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
On Saturday, May 16, Marietta will take the fun to the streets. The annual Marietta Day festivities will run along seven blocks of Market Street, which will be closed to vehicles, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A rain date for the event is set for Sunday, May 17.
Highlights of Marietta Day include tables of yard sale items, said Bob Heiserman, event coordinator.
“We have residents reserve spots in front of their house, and if they don’t live in the event area, but they live (in) town, they can reserve a spot along Market Street,” he explained. “The streets are closed from Perry to Locust streets.”
Outside vendors are also included in the event.
“We have some people who have come for years,” Heiserman said. He added that an artisan section will also be set up.
“We reserve about 40 spaces in a designated area for people who make art - jewelry, painting, woodcraft, stone craft,” he stated. “We also have numerous food trucks coming - I think about 12 this year.”
He noted that organizers carefully select the food trucks to not compete with the restaurants in Marietta.
“We have a pizza shop in town.
We have a coffee shop in town,” he said. “We have a barbecue place in town. We try not to duplicate those with our food trucks.”
Participating food trucks will include Bricker’s Fries, Joe’s Fish and Rita’s Italian Ice.
“The Marietta Boat Club sells sausage sandwiches every year,” Heiserman said. “The Lions Club sells roast beef sandwiches.”
Restaurants and bars in Marietta will be open during Marietta Day, along with businesses in the borough.
The event draws more than 200 vendors, selling everything from household items to specialty clothing.
“It’s a big variety,” Heiserman said. “You never know what you’re going to find.”
Marietta Day has a long history. It began in the late 1960s when a resident named Mary Ann Ruby came up with the idea.
“She lived on West Market Street, and this was something she thought of for the borough,” Heiserman said. “This was before the term ‘yard sale’ became popular. She called it ‘attic and cellar day,’ and it ran spontaneously every year.”
In 1979, Marietta Restoration Associates assumed responsibility for Marietta Day, and the organization

ran it for two years under the direction of Dave White, Heiserman said.
Then, an organization called Main Street Marietta formed, and a grant provided funding for 10 years as the group oversaw the event before the Marietta Area Business Association (MABA) took over in 1992.
“That’s when I started running it,” Heiserman said, noting that he’s helped in organizing the event by Pat Shinkosky, Suzanne Rende, Susan Snider, Molly Fisher and Steve Ulrich.
“This event has evolved over the years,” he remarked. “We’ve had a 5K run during the event in the past. We’ve had belly dancers. We’ve had cloggers. We’ve had speakers. There was a supper dance after it one year. There was an antique car show connected with it, a quilt show and the Zembo String Band played. We’ve also had other bands, but we don’t do the music anymore. We leave that to the Cherry Blossom and Blues and Brews events in Marietta.”
Residents who live in the borough pay no fee to participate in
Marietta Day, but money from other participants supports the nonprofit MABA in its efforts in Marietta.
“We have a subcommittee called the Beautification Committee, and we take care of the square,” Heiserman said. “We take care of the planters. We also take care of the cherry trees on Front Street, and we mow that area. We also support community efforts like the Marietta Community House.”
He noted that Marietta Day typically draws a crowd of more than 3,000 people.
It’s a good opportunity to bring people into the borough, he said.
“We have a lot of people who come in for our events, and they say, ‘Man, I never knew Marietta was so beautiful and so historic,’” he said.
“It’s amazing how many people say, ‘I’ve lived in this county my whole life, and I’ve never been to Marietta.’
Come to Marietta Day. You’ll see we have a lot of neat things in Marietta.”

now there are about 20 in the ministry. We read nonfiction, classics, modern fiction. We read anything.”
Nook inspired Scrivener to write more, and it led to the creation of the “Drowsy Dragon,” a literary magazine.
“While I was leading the book club with my friends, I realized I wanted our stories to bring people together,” she recalled. “There are lots of literary magazines out there, but I thought if I could somehow combine this passion for book clubs and fellowship and community I found with these sisters with stories of goodness and light, that was the best of both worlds.”
Her first issue of the “Drowsy Dragon” came out last year in October. The second issue was released in April.
The biannual magazine is available locally at Seymour’s Little Shop of Books in Mount Joy and Bookshelf Shenanigans in Elizabethtown, among other locations, as well as online at Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
The first issue features stories by Scrivener and Fenner, with one additional writer. For the second edition, she expanded to include
another local writer as well as a writer based in Texas whose work she admires.
The “Drowsy Dragon” fits a niche that was missing in traditional literary magazines, she said.
“A lot of mainstream fantasy is dark. Not all of it, but a lot of it,” she said. “My stories don’t fit into that category, but I can’t be the only one who wants some light sometimes.”
It may seem like “Scrivener” is the perfect aptronym for a writer, but it’s actually a pen name.
“The ‘E.R.’ stands for my first and middle names - Elizabeth Rose,”
Scrivener said, noting that she chose her pen name intentionally.
“In my first novel, there was a scrivener, a scribe, or someone who writes down another’s words and records them for them. I liked that idea, because I’m a Christian. I wanted all the stories I write to be what God wants me to write, not necessarily what I want to write, so the name came out of that.”
She’s inspired by Psalm 45, which she has displayed on a wall in her home office.
“I look at it in my library when I’m working,” she said. “It reads, ‘My
heart overflows with a pleasing theme. My tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.’”
As if running a book club, publishing a literary magazine and being a mom to a now-7-year-old daughter weren’t enough, Scrivener is finally ready to publish her first novel.
“The Untold Bakes of Addlewood” will be released in September.
“I pitch it as ‘Julie and Julia’ meets Robin Hood,” she said. “If you like baking, French patisserie in particular, baking comes into it because I’m obsessed with ‘Great British Bake Off.’ … It came out of my love for baking, but it has adventure, too.”
In her admittedly limited free time, Scrivener enjoys spending time with her husband, R.C., and their daughter in their home she’s renamed Crickhollow House, a nod to a hobbit’s house in her favorite series, “The Lord of the Rings.” No matter what she’s doing, Scrivener tries to live by a mantra of spreading light and positivity to everyone around her. She believes in magic, adventure and sunrise.
Historical Society Sets Presentation
The Elizabethtown Historical Society, 57 S. Poplar St., Elizabethtown, will hold a presentation titled “From Valley Forge to the Monmouth Battlefield” on Tuesday, May 19, at 7 p.m.
The program will be presented by Teresa St. Angelo,
an experienced historian, educator, and museum director.
The presentation will explore how George Washington’s Continental Army survived the brutal winter at Valley Forge and emerged better trained, disciplined, and prepared

“The kind of magic that is hidden in the everyday ordinary. The promise of freedom, danger and discovery, and a path that leads us home,” she writes on her website. “Hope that promises us, though the night be long and dark: Sunrise is coming.”

to face British forces at the Battle of Monmouth. Through insightful narration and historical context, the program will highlight daily life in the winter encampment, the army’s evolving training and discipline, personal stories of sacrifice, and the lasting legacy of the Battle of Monmouth in the American Revolution.
St. Angelo is the director of the Winters Heritage House Museum and the Seibert Genealogy and Research Library. She has more than 20 years of experience in education, along with a strong academic background in history and education. Her service as a Teacherin-Residence with the Library of Congress and an active member of the Monmouth County Historical Society and the Battleground Historical Society in New Jersey enriches her ability to bring Revolutionary War history to life.

YOU TASTE IT
Pennsylvania to celebrate this momentous occasion. We can also share our programs, exhibits and events as we welcome not only the local community but folks from across our nation to join us for fun and informative events.”
The museum’s speaker series, called “A Spot of Tea and History,” kicked off in April and will run on Wednesday afternoons through July 1. Programs will be held from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the H.U. Coble House, an 1877 Victorian home located at 33 E. High St., Elizabethtown.
Each week will feature a different speaker presenting engaging
and informative topics spanning 250 years of American history. Programs will explore Pennsylvania’s early beginnings, cultural influences and significant historical events.
“We are so excited about the variety of speakers, from Philadelphia to Gettysburg to local educators, and the array of historical topics we have been able to give to the community,” St. Angelo said. “This series offers a unique opportunity for the community to connect with the stories, people and events that shaped Pennsylvania and the nation. We invite everyone to join us for an engaging and enlightening experience in a welcoming historic setting.”
Featured presentations include the life and legacy of Thaddeus Stevens by re-enactor and president of the Thaddeus Stevens Society in Gettysburg, Ross Hetrick. He will speak at 1 and 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20, portraying Stevens and his fight for freedom and equality.
Talks on Wednesday, May 13, and Wednesday, June 10, will feature Nelson Polite, president of the African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania. On Wednesday, May 27, Debbie Saylor, the curator of the Blue Rock Heritage Center, will discuss “What the Ancient Ones
Left Behind.” On Wednesday, June 3, Roy E. Goodman will present “The All-Encompassing Benjamin Franklin,” and on Wednesday, June 17, author Michael Harris will present “Forts Mercer and Mifflin, the Battle of Whitemarsh and the Road to Valley Forge.”
On Wednesday, June 24, Elizabethtown mayor Phil Clark will discuss “Life in Elizabethtown,” and the series will wrap up on Wednesday, July 1, with a presentation by St. Angelo on “From Valley Forge to the Battle of Monmouth, the March From Suffering to Strength.”
America250PA festivities will also feature an Architectural Walking Tour, presented by the museum’s history preservation specialist Caitlin Obetz. Tours will begin at 3 p.m. and will run on Saturdays through May 30. Reservations are required for the tours.
“Dr. Caitlin Obetz has developed an informative, fun walking tour, mixing historical facts with architectural features that make Elizabethtown the beloved town it is,” St. Angelo remarked. “The tour lasts approximately one hour and covers a half mile. Participants will start at the Winters Heritage House Museum, walk the route and finish at the H.U. Coble House, where they can enjoy original photographs of Elizabethtown architecture, the ‘Elizabethtown Road to Liberty’ exhibit and refreshments on the porch.”
She encouraged people to sign
up for the walking tour, adding, “If you want to hear the story behind Elizabethtown, you will learn to read the signs in the carvings and design details in the buildings and structures. You will see the history in the stone, steel and glass.”
Additional events to celebrate America250PA include a History Trivia Luncheon with the Elizabethtown Historical Society on Sunday, June 28, at 2 p.m.
“Celebrating 250 years of American independence allows the Winters Heritage House Museum an exciting opportunity to showcase their two original 1760s log cabins,” St. Angelo said. “We get the chance to unveil the role that Elizabethtown taverns, churches and families played in the fight for independence, and we get to bring the story of the people, places and events from the original 13 colonies behind the birth of this nation to our community in fun and engaging ways.”
She said she’s especially excited to invite people in for the America250PA activities.
“Making history come alive through the programs, exhibits and events is something I love to do,” she said. “Sharing the stories of our founding fathers, the spies, the battles, the hardships, as well as the good times, with our community is something I find both meaningful and rewarding.”
