Fastnacht Tradition Enters 95th Year A Woman’s Concern Features

By Dayna M. Reidenouer

In preparation for the Lenten season of reflection, which runs from Ash Wednesday until Easter and during which people often give up certain foods or luxuries, members and supporters of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 409 Cherry St., Columbia, will fry up a surfeit of fastnachts, just as they have been doing since 1924.

“My mother used to save the potato water (from cooking dinner) and bring it for the dough to help it rise,” shared Kathleen Lutz, the head of the group that rolls out the yeast-raised pastries.

With the development of modern yeast and the introduction of food safety laws, church members no longer collect and donate the starch-rich liquid.

The rest of the process is still much the same, resulting in a rich, tasty treat.

“They’re delicious,” Lutz remarked.

“A group comes in over the weekend to measure the ingredients, and someone mixes the glaze.”

See Fastnacht Fundraiser pg 6

New Location, Expanded Services

By Ann Mead Ash

Fastnacht fundraising participants (from left) Kathleen Lutz, Jim Knapp, and Karen Sahd invite folks to place orders for the special pastries beginning on Feb. 11.

Pickups will take place on 11 days from March 4 to April 3.

A Christmas postcard sent out by A Woman’s Concern shows a photo of double purple doors decorated with holiday wreaths and an “open” sign. “Our purple doors mean ‘love, compassion, and support,’” said Jill Hartman, executive director of A Woman’s Concern, which relocated from Duke Street in Lancaster city to 1102 Millersville Pike, Lancaster, in July 2018. “We painted the doors purple so our clients could find us.”

These clients are the more than 600 women who benefit from A Woman’s Concern services each year. Those services include pregnancy testing, limited See A Woman’s Concern pg 7

Jill Hartman, executive director of A Woman’s Concern, looks forward to seeing clients at the organization’s new location at 1102 Millersville Pike, Lancaster.

Dr. Christian Keller will present “A Powder Horn’s Story.” On a chance visit to an antique shop, Keller came across a powder horn that once belonged to his ancestor Jacob Dritt. The find led Keller to search for the story behind it.

Dritt served in the American Revolution as captain of a “flying camp” and was captured by the British Army during its assault on Fort Washington. After the war, Dritt purchased his namesake mansion, now home to Susquehanna Heritage’s Zimmerman Center.

Keller is professor of history in the Department of National Security and Strategy at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle. His talk will place Dritt’s experiences within the greater context of what was happening in Pennsylvania and adjoining colonies during the early

Academy Sets Open House Events

BANKRUPTCY

During the school year, students attend classes with professional teachers two or three days per week and are guided by a parent at home on the remaining days. The academic calendar provides a four-week break from classes over Christmas and ends the first week in May. The model aims to prepare students to study independently and develop time management skills, which may ease their transition to college.

Enrollment for new families will start on Friday, March 1. There are also opportunities for potential students to shadow current students during the school day.

To register for an open house, readers may visit www.AnchorChristianAcademy.org.

Rose & Shamrock Festival from pg 1 by the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association have been moved to larger spaces with more seating.

“The organizers were shocked that people came to watch (the bagpipers),” Pujols said, explaining that piping competitions tend to be attended primarily by the musicians, but the interest of spectators was a welcome surprise.

In addition to piping, competitions will include Irish music, Irish dancing, Irish baking, and Celtic art. Pujols said that as of Jan. 30, almost 700 dancers have entered, and more are expected to register by the deadline of Saturday, Feb. 9. The feis is governed and sanctioned by An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (the Irish Dancing Commission), the North American Feis Commission, and the Mid-Atlantic Region. “ We offer every level (of dance),” Pujols said. She noted that competitors range in age from single digits to 60s. “(Some of these dancers) are the caliber that are being scouted for Riverdance and Lord of the

Dance. People don’t realize there are these super-talented kids (and young adults) right under their noses,” she added.

Admission to the festival will be free of charge, thanks to sponsorships from local businesses and individuals. Thanks to an anonymous donor, $600 will be divided among the winners of the youth division of the Irish music competition.

“The money will be paid directly to music teachers so these kids can continue their lessons,” Pujols said. She praised the quality of the musicians that participated last year, relating that the festival is part of the circuit that gets instrumentalists and vocalists ready for the competition that leads up to All-Ireland. For All-Ireland the best Irish musicians from all over the world converge on a town in Ireland to compete for the highest honor

in Irish music. “I’m not as familiar with the music scene, so this has been exciting for me to learn about it,” Pujols said.

Professional musicians will perform throughout the festival and will include The Celtic Martins, Down By the Glenside, Charlie Zahm and Tad Marks, Fire in the Glen, Across the Pond, and Seasons. Dublin 5, a high-energy Celtic rock band from Annapolis, Md., and Lancaster’s own Ogham Stones will perform on Feb. 16 at 6 p.m. at the Marriott. Their performance is the only part of the festival that will require tickets.

The festival will also offer instrument and Irish Gaelic workshops, traditional cuisine, vendors of all things Celtic, and more.

Tax Preparation from pg 1 United Way of Lancaster County is once again offering the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program to prepare federal, state and local income tax returns for free.

United Way of Lancaster County’s VITA Program is one of more than 12,000 VITA programs across the country that the IRS relies on to help people file their taxes every year, completely free of charge. Last year, United Way of Lancaster County’s IRS-certified volunteers helped more than 10,000 individuals and families in Lancaster County complete their tax returns. VITA saved Lancaster County residents more than $2.7 million in tax prep fees, and more than $12.4 million in refunds went into their bank accounts.

VITA provides free tax preparation services, including federal,

GOURMET SNACKS CORN CHIPS ...... 16 Oz. $1.69

state and local returns, to taxpayers who make less than $62,000 and who live, work or go to school in Lancaster County.

The volunteer tax preparers at United Way’s free tax preparation sites understand the 2018 TCJA (tax reform). They go through at least 40 hours of training and are certified by the IRS. The purpose of the program is to provide customers with high-quality, professional, personal service by trained volunteers who are equipped to identify tax refund opportunities for customers.

The IRS will delay issuing refunds for taxpayers claiming the EITC and ACTC until Friday, Feb. 15. The law is designed to help the IRS find and stop fraud.

However, the IRS notes that these

Thursday, Feb. 7-Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2019

refunds likely will not arrive in bank accounts or on debit cards until late February. Even though refunds may be delayed, taxpayers are still encouraged to file as early as possible.

The Lancaster County Bird Club will meet Thursday, Feb. 14, at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.

George Gress of the Pennsylvania Chapter of The Nature Conservancy will present “Critical Connections - Denali.” The project seeks to learn more about the migration of birds that

breed in Denali National Park and to connect Denali with the places from where its visitors come.

A short business meeting will precede the program. The meeting is free and open to the public. For details, call 717725-2717 or 717-984-2738 or visit www.lancasterbirdclub .org.

Fastnacht Fundraiser from pg 1 “The glazed (version) is by far the biggest seller,” said Jim Knapp, the general chair of the event.

According to Knapp, fastnacht preparation is a lengthy process.

The dough is mixed at night so it has time to proof overnight.

Then, folks arrive at 4 a.m. to prepare for the frying process, which the church calls a “bake.” Fresh fastnachts are ready for pickup by 10 a.m. All pastries are reserved, but any not picked up by 1 p.m. are fair game and are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

“People have grown up with them. They look forward to them every year,” said night crew member Karen Sahd, adding that community members sometimes offer to assist with the bake, as

well. “People come from all over to help.”

Knapp noted that volunteers come from throughout Lancaster and York counties, and they hail from a wide variety of religious backgrounds. It takes a total of 178 people to make the event successful, and new volunteers are always welcome. Training will be provided. Anyone interested in helping may call Knapp at 717-475-3793.

The bakes will take place this year on Monday, March 4; Tuesday, March 5; and Wednesday, March 6, as well as Mondays and Wednesdays for the next four weeks, ending on Wednesday, April 3. A set number of fastnachts will be available for ordering on each day of the bake.

“620 dozen per day multiplied by 11 days - you’ve got quite a few,” Knapp remarked.

Still, the bake usually sells out quickly. When the website went live last year, all of the available pastries were claimed within five days. This year, orders may be placed from a desktop or laptop computer at www.holytrinitycolumbiapa.com beginning on Monday, Feb. 11. The security settings on most phones and tablets will not work with the website. Online ordering will be open until fastnachts are sold out. Fastnachts will be sold by the dozen; half-dozens will not be available. Payment will be by credit card or PayPal. As was the case when the sale was introduced 95 years ago, the proceeds will be used for the church building and wherever funds are needed.

The fastnachts will be made and may be picked up at Our Lady of Angels Catholic School, which is located across the street from the church. Folks who have supported the fastnacht bake in previous years will note that the pickup door has changed to ensure student safety and security. Signs will point customers to the new location.

Local Students Earn Recognition dean’s list include Nathan Pauls of Kinzers; Greta Neufeld and Janell Preheim, both of Lancaster; Lucas Sauder of Lititz; and Bryce Yoder of Mountville. Pauls is a junior communication major and a graduate of Lancaster Mennonite School. Neufeld is a senior film production major and a

gradute of Manheim Township High School. Preheim is a junior music and secondary education major and a graduate of Lancaster Mennonite School. Sauder is a freshman majoring in engineering physics. Yoder is a senior computer science major and a Lancaster Mennonite School

graduate.

The dean’s list includes students earning at least a 3.75 grade point average, while completing at least 12 hours of coursework for a letter grade.

Only grades from the designated semester are included in the dean’s list selection process.

ultrasounds, and education on healthy relationships, pregnancy, parenting, and more. “We create a loving, compassionate, nonjudgmental environment for clients, so they get all the support they need,” explained Hartman.

The move nearly quadrupled the space that A Woman’s Concern could utilize, and staff and volunteers are planning to offer more services in the future by partnering and collaborating with other community organizations. Among those services are a program called Redefined, which will aid in healing for women, and a fatherhood mentoring program called The Fatherhood Journey. Matthew Neff of Family of Restoration Ministries has already run a fatherhood workshop, and Neff will soon become the first volunteer male client advocate for A Woman’s Concern. “I think that will make a huge difference in reaching the boyfriends, fiancés, and husbands,” added Laura Kline, marketing and communications director.

Other services that the organization will offer will include working with a local market to provide dietitians to teach prenatal and postnatal nutrition to clients. In addition, a volunteer will help the organization expand lactation services, and the

Knights of Columbus has funded a part-time medical position for 24 months, along with purchasing materials to expand the CPR program, which is a family safety initiative A Woman’s Concern provides.

Offering services in both Spanish and English has been an important goal for the organization. One paid and one volunteer staff member are bilingual, and Kline has reworked the website, www.pregnancylancaster.com, to include basic information in Spanish as well as English.

Of course, more space means more opportunity to offer clients medical services as well. A room to conduct ultrasounds and space for client advocates, along with meeting and business space and offices, were all made possible by the larger, new facility.

According to Hartman, the nonprofit has been available to local women facing unplanned pregnancies since 1972, when it opened as Birthright. As A Woman’s Concern outgrew its Duke Street location, an East Chestnut Street facility was opened, but in July 2017, Harvest Bible Chapel offered its administrative offices, including two buildings on Millersville Pike to the organization. A successful 2018 capital campaign provided funds to renovate the main building. A grant from the High

The February edition of the LunchTIME presentation at the NAWCC National Watch and Clock Museum, 514 Poplar St., Columbia, will feature museum staff as they explore and uncover the details of the effects of the Art Deco movement in horology, or the study of the measurement of time, and how its influence differs from that of Art Nouveau and Streamline Moderne. The Art Deco LunchTIME Talk is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 13, at noon.

Art Deco, or Style Moderne, was a movement in art and design that originated in the 1920s and became popular in Western Europe and the United States in the 1930s. Its stylized look influenced design in many everyday objects,

including clocks and watches.

From December through March, museum hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. From April through November, the museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the museum is also open on Mondays.

Discounts are available to seniors, students, AAA members, and groups of 10 or more.

Groups of 10 or more are encouraged to call ahead. For more program information, directions, or general museum information, readers may call 717-684-8261 or visit www.museumoftime.org.

Knights Battle Township, E-town in League Play The Hempfield girls’ basketball team came up short in two LancasterLebanon League games this past week, falling to 5-7 in league play.

The Black Knights did come back for a 43-31 victory at Chambersburg on Saturday night.

The Knights hosted Manheim Township on Wednesday night. In a low-scoring contest, they watched the Blue Streaks build a 23-15 halftime lead. Another low-scoring period followed with each team only scoring four points. Township held on for a 36-26 win, improving to 7-3 in the league.

Lindsey Durkota led the Knights with nine points. Jessica Weinholdt and Sophie Herman each scored four.

Despite the low-scoring final, Katie Bushong of Township finished with a game-high 20.

It was a comeback win for the Elizabethtown Bears at Hempfield on Friday night. Trailing 12-6, the Bears outscored the Knights 27-10 over the next two periods and finished with a strong fourth quarter in a 46-30 win.

Herman had seven points to lead Hempfield. Molly McGarry’s six points all came off three-point field goals.

Durkota also scored six.

Marena Lonardi of E-town led all scorers with 24 points, including a

12-for-13 effort at the free throw line.

In the Chambersburg game, the scoring was anemic in the first quarter. The Trojans held a 5-3 lead going into the second quarter, but were held to only two points in the third as Hempfield took command of the game, scoring 13 points in the third and 15 in the fourth for a 43-31 win.

Durkota and McGary scored 13 and 12 points, respectively, to lead the Knights. They were both 7-for-8 at the foul line.

(1-4 league).

The boys’ team won a close one, edging McCaskey (1-4 league) 89-78 and finishing the regular season at 8-1 (4-1 in league).

“We wanted to finish as strong as we could,” said head coach Brittany Bertoli. “We knew that McCaskey’s boys’ team had a strong core, so we knew it was important to step up our game.”

The 200 medley relay team of Aidan Turner, Andre Fissella, Shawn Splain, and Nate Stuckey posted a winning time of 1:46.13 for

“They’re a strong group,” commented the Hempfield coach.

“Because their relays were strong finishes, we needed to do well in all the others. We knew that if we did second, third and fourth, we could outscore them.”

In fact, the meet was very close until a win by Xander Hughes in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:05.10) helped put Hempfield ahead.

“Xander Hughes is a hard worker,” Bertoli said. “He had a shoulder injury early in the season but he’s such fighter. He has a positive attiPhoto by Jeremy Madea tude.

“We also went 1-2-3 in the 100 breaststroke and that was what we needed in that race,” Bertoli added.

Splain came on to win the 200 individual medley in 2:11.31. Stuckey was a multiple winner with first-place finishes in the 200 freestyle (1:54.52)

Katelyn Wiglesworth, Maggie Shaffer, Sophia Vitko, and Katie Yoder made up the winning foursome in the girls’ 200-yard medley relay, posting a time of 1:58.79.

Cassandra Christoffel joined Yoder, Wiglesworth, and Shaffer in the 400 free relay to win in 3:57.46.

“Cassandra is an incoming freshman, who has really shown that she is strong in the freestyle and individual medley events,” said Bertoli. “She is one of those we’re going to look to in years to come for contributing each year.

“Sophia Vitko is just all around consistent,” commented the coach. “She’s a hard worker. Whether she’s doing the breaststroke in the relay or a freestyle event, she knows what she has to do.”

One more thing Vitko was asked to do was the 500 freestyle. She won the race in 5:49.88.

The Blue Streaks held the Knights to only 16 first-half points. Despite the Knights matching the home team’s offensive output point-forpoint in the second half, the comeback bid was not enough.

The Knights did feature the game’s top scorer, however, as Eli Washington finished with 21 points. He perfectly sized up three of his three-point field goal attempts. Ryan Hilton finished with nine points.

Bertoli said of Cantwell. “She has been working hard all season and we’re seeing that hard work pay off. She’s dropping time and contributing points.�

Bornman Presents In Netherlands Eastern Mennonite Missions (EMM) worker Jonathan Bornman presented at an event on Nov. 30, 2018, at Tyndale Theological Seminary in Badhoevedorp, Netherlands. The event’s theme was “A Dialogue Comparing the Divine and the Human in Islam and Christianity.” Along with Bornman, the presenters included Dr. Yaser Ellethy, Dr. Khalid Hajji, and Dr. Bert de Ruiter. The Muslim and Christian scholars had been invited to participate by Tyndale professor and EMM worker Dr. Philip A. Gottschalk.

Attendees were predominately seminary students and faculty, but community members were

also present. Gottschalk hosted the event as part of a course he teaches titled “Ethics of War, Peace, and Peacemaking.”

Bornman, a Christian-Muslim relations consultant, highlighted the belief that humanity is created in the image of God. He said that humans’ ability to creatively solve problems is an example of humans reflecting God. Illustrating this creative problem-solving, Bornman shared the story of M.J. Sharp and his work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Sharp, who was murdered in 2017, creatively sought to promote peace in a challenging setting.

Bornman’s main purpose in sharing this story was to emphasize

how the creativity of God within humanity can be used to do good in the world.

Several students who were in attendance had been raised as Muslims but had later converted to Christianity. One student shared they were surprised at how openly the presenters could discuss theological differences in a respectful manner.

EMM’s Christian-Muslim Relations Team, of which Bornman is a member, seeks to encourage church leaders to interact with Muslim clerical leaders.

In addition to his work with EMM, Bornman is a Ph.D. candidate at Middlesex University London. His dissertation is focused on the nonviolent practices of a Senegalese Sufi order called the Muridiyya. He served as a Bible teacher in Senegal from 1999 to 2009 but is currently doing research in the Murid community in Harlem, New York City.

Tyndale is an international, English-language seminary. The school has had students from more than 80 countries.

teachers have been taking advantage of this opportunity.

According to Landisville Primary Center teacher Jadi Redcay, she completed training through the IU 13 and was then able to sign out VR goggles. She then began to expand on the use of the goggles in the classroom.

Her students partnered with first-graders in Sandy McConnell’s class to complete tours that showcased various polar animals, and the experience was connected to a collaborative writing project.

One purpose of the kits is to touch on a variety of subjects with the goal of creating maximum engagement for students with a unique experience while sparking student creativity.
