GS And L-S Will Team Up To White Out Hunger By Ann Mead Ash

According to Amy Marburger, food and nutrition manager with CrossNet Ministries’ food programs in New Holland, the fourth annual White Out Against Hunger held in 2018 netted more than 1,000 pounds of food for the local food pantry. REAL Life Community Services of Denver received an equal amount of food when the Garden Spot Spartans varsity football team faced off against the Cocalico Eagles nearly a year ago. This year’s White Out will be held during the football game between the Garden Spot High School (GSHS) Spartans and the Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S) High School Pioneers on Friday, Sept. 20, at GSHS, 669 E. Main St., New Holland. Gates will open at 5:45 p.m., and kickoff will be at

7 p.m. Fans of both teams are asked to bring unexpired, nonperishable food and personal care items to the game to donate to the CrossNet Food Pantry, now housed at 127 W. Franklin St., New Holland, and L-S Together of Strasburg. Those who attend the game and donate items for CrossNet and/or L-S Together food pantries will receive a free white T-shirt with blue printing that reads “White Out Hunger.� “(The shirt will have) both team logos and the game date (on it),� said Marburger. GSHS students will have opportunities to take part in the White Out prior to the start of the game. Marburger is working with the school to collect food ahead of time, giving students a chance to earn T-shirts that they can then wear to the game. See White Out Hunger pg 3

30th Benefit Auction And Chicken Barbecue Planned By Ann Mead Ash

To add something extra to the 30th Benefit Auction and Chicken Barbecue to be held at Fairmount, organizers will auction a limitededition, specially designed commemorative mug. Only one dozen sunfire red Sunset Hill Stoneware mugs, known as “The Potbelly,� will be available to savvy bidders during the 2019 event. While the mugs will be special for this year, plenty of traditional foods, activities, and items, such as quilts, will be included in the event, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 1100 Farm Crest Drive, Ephrata. Fairmount permanently moved the barbecue and auction to Farm Crest last year because the community broke See Benefit Auction pg 12

Gathering auction items for the Fairmount 30th Benefit Auction and Chicken Barbecue are (from left) Peter Passage, Carol Swailes, and Kent Richard. This year’s auction, which will benefit the retirement community’s Sharing Fund, will be held on Sept. 14. In addition to the auction, the day will feature food, children’s activities, and a flea market.

Cavod To Stage Pirate Musical By Ann Mead Ash

Cordell Huyard, director of Cavod Theatre, cannot keep his enthusiasm about the group’s fall show from bubbling over. “‘The Pirates of Penzance’ is such a fun show. It’s hilarious,� gushed Huyard. “Audiences walk away having really enjoyed it (because it’s) such a crowd favorite.� “The Pirates of Penzance� will be staged at Cavod Theatre, 685 W. Main St., New Holland, at 7 p.m. on Fridays, Sept. 20 and 27; at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturdays, Sept. 21 and 28; and at 4 p.m. on Sundays, Sept. 22 and 29. First produced in 1879, the maritime musical by Gilbert and Sullivan is an energetic work focused on Frederic, played by Nolen Petosky, a young man who, as a child, was mistakenly apprenticed to a pirate rather than a pilot. The error is the fault of Ruth, Frederic’s hard-of-hearing nursemaid, played by

Caleb Zimmerman will play a pirate when Cavod Theatre presents “The Pirates of Penzance� on Fridays, Sept. 20 and 27; Saturdays, Sept. 21 and 28; and Sundays, Sept. 22 and 29. Jennifer Shaffer. To make matters worse, Frederic’s apprenticeship was See Pirate Musical pg 11
