Cheers to 100 and Beyond
BY CAT SHANNON
What happens when 16 centenarians gather together? Nothing short of a festive party.
In September, Masonic Village invited its 20 residents age 100 or older to a celebration to mark their milestone birthdays. Sixteen 100-plusyear-olds attended the festivities.
“We have had centenarian celebrations in the past, and each year we look for new ways to make the day even more meaningful,” said Julie Cartin, director of resident services and life enrichment at the Elizabethtown retirement community. “Reaching 100 is such a remarkable milestone, and it’s important to us to honor it in a way that feels truly special for each centenarian.”
About 50 people attended the party, including residents, family
members, friends and staff. Sen. James Malone provided each centenarian with a special citation. The event also featured remarks from Masonic Village executive director Mike Katzenmoyer and assistant executive director and health care administrator Matt Mayo, a slideshow with life highlights and advice from each centenarian, music from Quiet Soul Duo and cake.
“There was plenty of time for conversation, too, as the centenarians have so much history and wisdom to impart,” Cartin shared.
Resident Herb Ridyard, who turned 100 on July 6, said the secret to a good life is “being honest to yourself and your neighbor.” The Army veteran who served during World War II and then worked as an aeronautical research scientist

Supporting Girls and Women With Dignity
BY CAT SHANNON
Sarah Zeitler wants to get people talking about some of life’s most basic necessities while making sure everyone has access to them.
The Lancaster woman is the local face of I Support the Girls, a national nonprofit that collects bras, underwear and feminine hygiene products for girls and women in need. What began for Zeitler as a simple search for a place to donate gently used bras has grown into a mission she calls both energizing and deeply personal.
“I’m very focused on changing the conversation,” says Zeitler, who has two teenage daughters, ages 14 and 16. “Why don’t we talk about pads and tampons? ... I tell my girls, ‘You don’t have to be embarrassed by this topic.’ I want to help people who don’t have access to products most of us take for granted.”
Zeitler discovered I Support the Girls in late 2024. When she realized Lancaster no longer had an active chapter, she quickly stepped up. The hyperlocal aspect drew her in.
“I like that the bras you’re giving are not going to women in another state,” she said. “They’re going right back to local women. I also wanted to be sure these bras were going to women in need who were going to use them.”
I Support the Girls began 10 years ago when founder Dana Marlowe started the organization in the Washington, D.C., area. From one donated bra, the organization has grown to more
A celebration for residents who are 100 years old or older was held in September at Masonic Village.

FIA International Sets Annual Banquet
Friends in Action (FIA) International will host its annual awareness banquet twice. The first banquet will take place on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m. at Community Bible Church, 331 Anderson Ferry Road, Marietta, and an identical banquet will be held on Friday, Oct. 24, at 6 p.m. on Lebanon Valley Bible Church, 1482 Horseshoe Pike, Lebanon. FIA International is a faith-based nonprofit in Middletown that exists to assist missionaries serving in areas of limited infrastructure by using construction projects to help them share the Gospel with unreached people groups.
Attendees at both banquets will enjoy a buffet with a dessert bar. The event’s theme is “Engaging the Unreached, Bridging the Gap for Eternity.” Throughout the evening, guests will learn how God is bridging the gap between where the church is and where the Gospel needs to go.
The keynote speaker
at both banquets will be Chris Clayman, executive director for Joshua Project.
Joshua Project is a research initiative that highlights people groups around the world with the least access to the Gospel, equipping the body of Christ to strategically focus prayer, mission efforts, and resources where they are most needed.
Guests will learn how FIA International’s mission aligns closely with Joshua Project by physically supporting efforts to get the Gospel into hard-to-reach areas.
The banquet will include party favors and giveaways, and attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about FIA by visiting the information table at the event or by speaking with staff members.
To purchase tickets for the banquet or sponsor a table of eight people by Monday, Oct. 6, contact 717-5460208 or email FIA-USA@ FIAintl.org. Registration is also available at https:// fiaintl.org/banquets/.
also advised, “Pay attention in school.”
Mary Spangler, who marked her 104th birthday on March 13, said it’s important to “keep moving, walking” and to “be yourself” in order to have a good life. When asked what’s she most proud of, she didn’t hesitate to answer: “That I am still here.”
Other residents honored at the party included Lewis Griffiths, who turned 102 on March 19 and who said his biggest accomplishment was serving on a naval ship in the South Pacific during World War II before embarking on a career in accounting.
For Olive Keener, who turned 100 on June 6, the recipe for a long, happy life is a simple one: “Loving the Lord, asking Him for help.” She also advised others to “have good parents and friends.”
Masonic Village residents who are 100 years
old or older also include Frances Maivelett, Emily Youse, Grace Adkins, Norma Crain, Doris Beeler, Robert Emberger, Barbara Cortright, James Ariosto, Ruth Garber, Paul Rider, Julia Malloy, Clarence Brockman, James Junker, Joseph Fliss, Betty Hamman and Viola Walmer.
Holding the party was important, Cartin said, because Masonic Village staff members wanted to bring the centenarians together as a community.
“We have residents over 100 years of age living in our Masonic Health Care Center, personal care and retirement living areas,” she stated. “This was a way to honor all of them together, while including their families and loved ones. Our goal was to make each centenarian feel seen and valued - and to recognize the incredible 100 years of stories and experiences they each have to share.”

Buying a vehicle is a significant financial investment. It is not a decision to take lightly, especially given the historically high prices of new cars in recent years. Finding a vehicle that is the perfect fit requires consideration of a host of variables, including personal preference. What is perfect for one individual may not work for another. When the time comes to shop for a car, people can ask themselves a few questions in an effort to find a vehicle that best suits their situation.
• What are your needs? Are you looking to carpool the kids to and from school,
Tracking Down the Perfect Vehicle
or do you want a fuel-efficient car for commuting? Identifying the main purpose of the vehicle will eliminate certain cars or trucks right off the bat.
• What is your budget? It is a good idea to get a pre-approval loan statement from a financial provider to figure out what you can afford to pay for a vehicle. The automotive resource Edmunds says the general rule is the monthly car payment should not exceed 15% of your monthly take-home pay. Lease payments should be less than 10% of monthly take-home pay. Calculate
these numbers and potential interest rates prior to shopping for a vehicle.
• What size is best for you? Even though it may seem that SUVs and pickups reign supreme on the road, some drivers prefer smaller vehicles. Figure out how much interior space and cargo room you need. Take the time to sit in different vehicle classes to determine which size fits you best.
• What are your fuel preferences? Today’s vehicles come in electric, unleaded gasoline, diesel, and hybrid options. How the car or truck is powered
Caring for a Vehicle’s Exterior
Drivers go to great lengths to ensure that they take good care of what’s under the hood of their vehicles. But it’s equally beneficial to tend to the exterior of a vehicle, including its paint job.
According to Popular Mechanics, oxidation can adversely affect iron-based metals. That can put vehicles in jeopardy and take significant time off their life expectancy. The good news is that rust and other issues that can affect a vehicle’s
paint job and appearance are typically avoidable. That should be music to the ears of new vehicle owners, who likely need no reminder of the sizable financial investment required to drive off the lot with a fresh set of wheels. Drivers who want their cars and trucks to maintain their looks over the long haul can consider these simple strategies to protect their paint jobs.
• Make car washes part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Over
time, contaminants such as pollen, dust, and pollutants can settle on a vehicle’s exterior, potentially jeopardizing the paint job. Routine car washes can prevent such damage and help a car look like it was just driven off the lot.
• Wax the exterior of the vehicle. The automotive experts at Carfax report that waxing is a significant and simple way to protect vehicle paint. Carfax notes that certain paste waxes contain mild abrasives that
may be important to you and will help identify the best vehicle for you.
• What is the cost of ownership? Certain vehicle brands may be more expensive to maintain than others. According to Motor1.com, luxury and premium brands are typically the most expensive to maintain, with European brands typically carrying high maintenance costs. This can be prohibitive when parts or service is needed.
Buying a vehicle requires careful consideration of drivers’ needs, budget, and desired features.
help remove fine scratches from painted surfaces. Wax also can protect paint jobs from fading related to exposure to ultraviolet rays. That’s especially noteworthy for drivers who do not routinely park their cars in a garage.
• Use a car cover. Car covers may or may not be practical for cars that drivers use every day, but they are an effective way to protect a paint job from the elements. Drivers who have
See Exterior pg 5
Exterior
a spare car they rarely drive or even those who do not drive their primary vehicle a lot each day can purchase a universal-fit car cover or a premium cover designed specifically for their vehicles. Car covers protect paint jobs from ultraviolet rays and the elements and may reduce the need for more frequent trips to the car wash.
• Park in the shade, but choose spots wisely. Parking in the shade may protect vehicles from the ultraviolet rays of the sun, but it’s important that drivers pick the right shady spot to park their cars and trucks. A shade tree might seem like a great ally to vehicle owners, but if birds
nest or rest in the tree, drivers could be exposing their cars to bird droppings. Bird droppings are high in uric acid, which quickly damage a vehicle’s exterior. Parking directly beneath a tree also might expose the paint job to sap or fallen leaves or berries, each of which can adversely impact vehicle exteriors. If you plan to park in the shade to protect a vehicle’s paint job, ideally choose a spot that is not directly beneath the tree. A well-maintained paint job can improve the appearance and life expectancy of a vehicle, which is something drivers should keep in mind as they hope to get the most out of their automotive investment.

Locally, Zeitler collects donations and works with partners including Second Grace, which supports young single mothers, and River’s Place, a free clothing closet at St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Manheim Township. She has also begun reaching out to local doctor’s offices, especially plastic surgeons, to encourage women undergoing breast surgery to donate their gently used bras.
At her job as a product manager at Armstrong, she regularly collects donations. And thanks to I Support the Girls national partnerships with major retailers like Victoria’s Secret, she receives shipments of new bras to distribute.
“I like to make sure there is diversity in what I’m giving away,” she said. “I want to have everything from sports bras to special occasions, from tween sizes to larger sizes.”
Her work has become a family effort. Her daughters, August and Citizen, pitch in with everything from social media posts to sorting donations. They’ve also joined her at training sessions offered by the national nonprofit, turning the project into a shared mission of empowerment.
This year, Zeitler received a grant to create a permanent collection site in Lancaster. While she’s still searching for the right location, she continues to collect donations at her home and through tempo-
rary community partners. This fall, for example, a collection bin will be available at Pocket Books, 903 Wheatland Ave., Lancaster, through October.
For Zeitler, the work is about more than just distributing products; it’s about starting conversations that too often remain in the shadows.
“I’m passionate about women’s causes,” she said. “We have very unique needs. Men don’t have to worry about having the right bras to go to work and feel professional or feel confident in their own skin. This is something I’m very passionate about, and doing this work literally energizes me.”
She notes that her involvement in the project has raised her own awareness about community needs.
“Think about victims of domestic violence,” she said. “The police often collect undergarments as evidence, and these women are sent home without underwear. ... Girls liter -
ally miss school because they don’t have the proper hygiene products.”
It’s also important to Zeitler that donations stay in the local area.
“Everything that comes into us, whether it’s money, hygiene products or bras, it all goes right to women and girls right here in Lancaster,” she said. “This is really a boots-on-theground organization, and we are helping right where it’s needed.”

There’s always something happening in Maytown and its surrounding areas. The Maytown Civic Association wants to spread that message, so the group is organizing its first community day. The event will be held on Sunday, Oct. 5, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Lloyd H. Fuhrman

Its mission is to advance, promote and support local organizations. It also works to maintain and manage the open space located within the Route 743 right of way, also known as Maytown Center Square.

There is no admission charge for the community day, and Wivell hopes people will come to discover more about the town and its resources.
“Come on out to catch up with old friends and make a few new ones,” she said. “We are having this day
so that families can come together with neighbors and enjoy the day.”
She also emphasized that people are welcome to make the day their own by bringing blankets to hang out on, Frisbees, yard games or other activities.

As pastor Dan Blank explained, the group first performed last year at Reich’s Church, and the congregation is eager to welcome them back.
“The concert went very well last year,” Blank said. “It was very well received, and people really loved them. They are fantastic.”
While last year’s concert was worked into a tour the band was already taking throughout central Pennsylvania, the group will make a special trip to the area this year for the concert at the church.
“We are so blessed to have them,” Blank said. “They are a nationally known, award-winning group.”
The Mark Dubbeld Family comprises father Mark, mother Janene, daughter Elena and son Britton. The group has been featured on the “Gospel Greats” radio program, has performed at Dollywood and has participated in the National Quartet Convention in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. The band also participated in 40 Days and 40 Nights at the Ark Encounter, billed as “the World’s Largest Christian Music Festival.”
Hailing from Moneta, Va., the band presents concerts featuring original songs, strong harmony and a sincere desire to share the love of Christ with audiences.
“People can expect an evening of great singing and family harmony,” Blank said. “Everyone is invited to experience an evening of worship and the Lord being lifted up.”
