New Holland Summer Arts Program (NHSAP) secretary/treasurer Sue Noll recently mused on the success of the summer of 2018 program, which brought a number of returning and new musical acts to the New Holland Area Community Park on East Jackson Street on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. “We have had good attendance,” noted Noll. “The summer shows average (attendance of) 300, and for the Servant Stage (performance of ‘I’ll Fly Away’), we estimated 1,500 (attended).” NHSAP can celebrate the success of the summer with the traditional full day of fiddlin’ on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3, when the annual Fiddler’s Picnic will be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Live music will begin at 11 a.m. Fiddlers are encouraged to arrive early to reserve a See Fiddler’s Picnic pg 3
Giving Back To The Community LCFCA Seeks Volunteers With Recruitment Campaign By Chelsea Peifer
Volunteers with the New Holland Summer Arts Program display the quilt that will be given away at the annual Fiddler’s Picnic on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3. For many years, a local shop has donated a quilt for the giveaway, but this will be the last year because the shop is scheduled to close.
Jared Artus began volunteering as a junior firefighter simply because he had always loved helping people - and he loved fire trucks, too. He is now the deputy fire chief at Fivepointville Fire Company and has 24 years - and counting - of experience as a volunteer firefighter. “You have a great opportunity to make a huge difference in someone’s life, especially since 99 percent of the people are in their worst nightmare when you get there,” Artus said. While Fivepointville has a decent amount of volunteers, Artus said that like many other fire companies, its numbers have slowly dwindled. Lancaster See Volunteers pg 6
David Kim Performance CSF Fundraiser Scheduled To Benefit “Messiah” Sing-Along When Amber Pavalko of Stevens By Ann Mead Ash
By Ann Mead Ash
When violinist David Kim performs at the Calvin and Janet High Fine Art Center at Lancaster Mennonite School, 2176 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, on Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 7:30 p.m., the event will benefit another musical presentation - the “Messiah” Sing-Along which has been held each spring and winter in Lancaster and Chester counties for more than 20 years. The “Messiah” Sing-Along is a musical event that includes no rehearsals and features volunteer singers and musicians. According to conductor Clair Leaman, the event is unique because people can just show up and sing. The piece is treated as a performance, but Leaman noted that sometimes people in the audience sing along too. The Lancaster County Sing-Along
David Kim has been held at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2151 Oregon Pike, Lancaster. The Chester County presentation has been held at Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church, 1121 Octorara Trail, Parkesburg. The next Chester County Sing-Along will be held on Friday, Dec. 28, See David Kim pg 3
signed on back in February to organize unite@night, an event that raises funds for CSF (Chiari and Syringomyelia Foundation), she had no idea what her future held. Pavalko has been fighting Chiari malformation, a syndrome that is associated with a variety of other physical problems, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and syringomyelia since 2013. “I saw that there wasn’t (a fundraising event for CSF) here, so I wanted to do that,” said Pavalko. “That was before I needed four surgeries.” Pavalko has emerged from those surgeries feeling better than she had in years, allowing her more energy to plan the unite@night Lancaster CSF Walk for 2018, set for Friday, Sept. 21, at the Kiwanis Pavilion at the Manheim Township Community Park, 209 Petersburg Road, Lancaster. Activities will begin at 6 p.m., and the walk will begin at 7:30 p.m. See CSF Fundraiser pg 8
