Calling young singers between the ages of 10 and 16. Steven Courtney is looking for you. Courtney, a renowned singer-songwriter, has written a youth musical, “When We Climb Trees,” and he’s ready to start recording the soundtrack. “We are searching for talented and passionate volunteer youth
actors to record and sing on the production soundtrack for this enchanting musical,” said Courtney, who is collaborating on the project with Kami Deppen, owner/creative director of Big Dream Creative Arts Studio in Manheim. Selected actors will record their vocal parts at Courtney’s studio in Manheim between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 3, and between See Audition pg 2
St. Peter’s choir will conduct a concert in May to benefit the Manheim Township Ambulance Association.
Singing is its own reward, but singing for a cause is even more meaningful. St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 10 Delp Road, Lancaster, is seeking volunteer singers for a special altruistic performance it will be putting on this spring. The church’s choir will be singing to raise money for the Manheim Township Ambulance Association. “ The attraction is singing See St. Peter’s pg 3

here are those who would have you believe that it’s an event about shadows, groundhogs and even an early spring. But that’s simply a tall tale. I t ’s about fellowship and community and pride. The Manheim Township Recreation Department (MTRD) will do just about anything to have some fun. In the early morning hours of Friday, Feb. 2, at Stauffer Park, 1241 Lititz Pike, MTRD will present one of its unique events. That’s when the rec department will host its fourth annual Groundhog Day Celebration. The 30-minute event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome. “It’s a unique, quirky event,” said MTRD director Matt Stopa. “It’s stress free. It’s a live show. It’s nice to bring a different type of event to the community.” “Something like this will stay
in people ’s memor ies for a while,” continued Stopa. “It’s not something you see at every municipality. We’re just trying to make a fun event.” The celebration will commence sharply at 7 a.m. on that Friday. Somewhere around 7:15 a.m., M.T. Parker, Manheim Township’s aptly named plush groundhog mascot, will emerge from his hollowed-out log house to coincide with the rising of the sun. Even though he’s plush and not real, if M.T. Parker sees his shadow, tradition has it that the area will be blessed with six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, an early spring can be expected. “Stauffer Park is a great place to host it, and there’s a special ambiance about it,” said Stopa. “It has a historical feel to it. We have hanging lights, and there’s polka music going. It’s very early in the morning, so it’s usually cold.” “We built a house for M.T. Parker out of a log taken from the property,” added Stopa. “That’s

will perform the youth musical with the tracks while singing live.” Courtney said he’s been exploring the idea of writing a youth musical for years. “The concept for ‘When We Climb Trees’ resonated with me personally, and I began to comb through my catalog of songs to see if I could create a jukebox-style musical,” he commented. “I ended up using seven songs from the back catalog and writing three new songs for the musical.” He described the soundtrack as “’70s singer-songwriter meets Motown.” The musical focuses on a tightknit group of friends who struggle with the conflict between sharing real-life adventures and giving into the allure of gaming devices and screen time. “Simply put, childhood is a fleeting season of time,” Courtney remarked. “‘When We Climb Trees’ looks at the need to find balance in our friendships to make time to play, explore, pretend, using imagination and having fun with the ever-present and mostly passive world of devices, screen time and streaming.” Courtney and Deppen worked together previously on a TV show Courtney produced called “The Steven Courtney Channel.” It aired locally on WGAL. “Kami created a recurring character for the show called Art Girl,” Courtney recalled. “Our collaboration to produce ‘When We Climb Trees’ will be our first youth musical effort together.” “When We Climb Trees” will premiere later this summer. To audition for the soundtrack, send a headshot and resume (if you have one) and video link to steven@stevencourtney.com. For ease of viewing, video submissions should first be uploaded to YouTube as unlisted videos, and then the links should be submitted in the email.

where he stays. That’s where he hibernates. That’s where he’ll prognosticate from when he comes out of his house.” Like most folks, Stopa does have a rooting interest in M.T. Parker’s prediction. “Winter’s here for a reason,” said Stopa. “I like winter conditions. There’s no reason to rush into spring or summer.” The family atmosphere will be enhanced by concessions, face painting, crafts, hot chocolate, a s’mores station and photo opportunities with the star of the show. Anywhere from 70 to 100 people are expected to attend. “It’s an event that gets people out,” said Stopa. “It’s about recreation and getting people to interact with each other. It’s bringing people into the park and getting people to do more than just sitting at home.
We want to get them outside and have them appreciate the outdoors.” In addition to the regular programs and services that it offers, MTRD hosts similar special events like a community Easter egg hunt, a Halloween carnival, a holiday open house and outdoor movie nights. “(The Groundhog Day Celebration) is probably the most unique event we host,” said Stopa. “(Groundhog Day celebrations) are common in Pennsylvania. It’s familiar enough that people know about it, but you don’t see it everywhere.” “We do really care about the community,” added Stopa. “We want to provide people with the best services we can. Hopefully, it goes above and beyond people’s expectations. We take our events very seriously.”

Remembering our history The Dayspring Christian Academy Remember America Speaker Series has its roots in Dayspring founder Mike Myers’ master’s degree studies when he first read about the Principle Approach. “I had never made such
a connection to our founders and the principles that guided them in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution,” recalled Myers, who in response made “restoring the biblical foundation of America” part of the mission of Dayspring, which was founded in 1987. See History pg 4
Berdos said he’d like to raise at least $1,500 to $2,000 with the performance. “I like the give-back idea, and I think the community does as well,” said Berdos. “It’s part of the Gospel, extending the grace that God gave to us. I think it’s appropriate for a Christian church to do it. It works for us.” The concert will feature St. Peter’s choir, but it will also include guest musicians and a guest conductor. Berdos will perform most of the conducting, accompanied by his wife, Debra, at the organ. “One hundred singers would set well in the space we have,” said Berdos. “A large choir allows more people to participate. A large choir also produces a larger sound, and it’s more appealing to the audience. For me, it’s about giving people an opportunity to sing.” To participate as a volunteer singer, email Berdos at tom .berdos@stpeterslutheran.org.

together,” said Tom Berdos, St. Peter’s director of music. “For people who are used to singing in a choir, it’s joy. They love it. For experienced singers, you don’t have to sell them on it. There’s a sense of teamwork. There’s a sense of completion and accomplishment. When we do this, people make a lot of new friends. It’s also a social thing.” Currently, Berdos has received commitments from 50 singers for the St. Peter’s Choir Festival in May, and he’d like to secure commitments from about 50 more. Ahead of the performance, St. Peter’s enhanced choir will practice from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on seven consecutive Thursdays, from April 4 to May 16. Volunteer singers are being asked to purchase the packet of music for the performance. “One of the things we try to do is keep rehearsals to an hour,” said Berdos. “I need to respect our singers’ time because they’re giving that to me. There have to be laughs along the way. It has to be hardworking and lighthearted.” “I have seven anthems picked out,” continued Berdos. “Each rehearsal we’re going to run through them all. I know what parts to work on, which are the hard parts.” St. Peter’s Choir Festival will be conducted at 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 19, at the church. The program of seven sacred anthems performed in a variety of musical styles will take an hour to present. A freewill offering will be accepted, and funds will go to the Manheim Township Ambulance Association. “This was a need we saw in church,” said Berdos. “The ambulance association relies on donations. They don’t have the funding. We think about, ‘Who can I bless?’ and there they are. They are the visible ones. This is an opportunity to give back and to help people who have helped us in a time of need. It’s mainly music with a group for a good reason.”

Firefighter and photographer Harry Beauchamp participates in the 9/11 memorial stair climb two years ago in downtown Lancaster.
Beauchamp said. “You don’t necessarily meet people on their best days in this job, but connecting with them and being able to help in their time of need is really fulfilling.” Beauchamp’s passion for his field isn’t limited to fighting fires and responding to emergencies. Beauchamp frequently takes pictures of fire stations and their trucks, a hobby that he acquired shortly after becoming a firefighter himself. Beauchamp’s job as an EMT often took him near Conestoga Fire Company, and he liked to capture shots of the fire trucks when they left the station. In 2020, Beauchamp upgraded his camera and officially created a Facebook page for his pictures. Since then, he has traveled to Mountville, Millersville and numerous other towns across the county to capture local fire stations and their equipment. Beauchamp has even traveled to other parts of Pennsylvania and its surrounding states to photograph fellow firefighters. “I started visiting as many departments as I could for pictures, but I loved being able to connect with others in the field and see how different stations are run,” Beauchamp said. To check out Beauchamp’s work, search for “Harry Beauchamp Fire Photography” on FaceBeauchamp recently visited the book or @harryjb26 on Hempfield Fire Department and captured pictures of Engine 69-1.

After Harry Beauchamp of Lititz graduated from Manheim Township High School in 2015, he decided to take a break from his academic career to explore new opportunities. He wasn’t exactly sure what he wanted to pursue for a career, but he began working at Lancaster General Hospital as he considered different options during his gap year. Beauchamp’s job at the hospital entailed moving equipment and doing general housekeeping tasks. During his breaks, he started to watch episodes of a television show that follows reallife first responders in New Orleans, and it sparked an interest in Beauchamp that would grow into a passion for firefighting. Today, Beauchamp is a volunteer firefighter at the Willow Street Fire Company, and he works full time as an emergency medical technician and firefighter in Parkesburg and Kennett Square. Beauchamp started his career by completing a training course offered through a partnership between Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences and Lancaster EMS. In the first portion of the accelerated program, Beauchamp studied human anatomy and medical science. Once the classes were completed, he trained in the field to learn about patient assessment and other skills necessary to respond to an ambulance call. Beauchamp worked in Lancaster for two years before finding work in Chester County, where most emergencies are handled by first responders who serve as both EMTs and firefighters. “I never had any doubts about becoming a first responder,”

Dayspring Christian Academy will hold its 2024 Remember America Speaker Series event on Saturday, April 20, at the Lancaster County Convention Center, 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster. This year’s speaker will be Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the event will begin at 6 p.m. A limited number of gallery seats are still available for those who wish to hear the speaker at 7 p.m. Dayspring headmaster Dan Stone said that the biblical mandate for education is “part of the fabric of who we are.” “We believe God gave parents the authority to educate their children, and they partner with us,” he said, citing Psalm 78, Deuteronomy 6, and Ephesians 6, where God gives the command to teach children about Him. “The whole purpose of the passages is to teach their children so they can remember what the Lord has done,” Stone said. Dayspring events manager Lisa Becker explained that Dayspring is modeled after the education system in place at the country’s founding era. “That is the distinction of Principle Approach schools,” Myers

Artwork featured in the “Art In Love, Again” exhibit on display during February
For five years, Mulberry Art Studios, 19-21 N. Mulberry St., Lancaster, brightened the drear y winter months with art from its private collection, featuring love themed works in February in a gallery staple exhibit, “Art In Love.” The show paused after 2020, as the gallery worked to navigate art in the public space during a pandemic. This winter, Mulberry Art Studios will bring the
exhibition back, and it will feature works from the private collection of April M. Koppenhaver, owner and founder of Mulberry Art Studios. “Art in Love, Again” will open with a First Friday reception on Feb. 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. and will be on display throughout the month of February. For more information and to preview the work of “Art in Love, Again,” visit the gallery’s Instagram and Facebook pages.

Exhibit to feature art from Middle Eastern and Arab cultures Landis Homes will host an exhibit of artworks by 20 Middle Eastern artists. The exhibit is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 6, from 3 to 5 p.m. at Landis Homes, 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lititz. Refreshments will be provided. The exhibit is presented by Mel Lehman, a Lancaster County native and graduate of Lancaster Mennonite High School whose career has spanned literature, theology, and international humanitarian work. Lehman earned a Bachelor of Arts from Eastern Mennonite University, a Master of Arts in theology from Union Theological Seminary, and a Master of Arts in literature from Columbia University. In the first part of his career, he worked for 20 years at Church World Service as an editor in international humanitarian issues, and during that time, he made several visits to the Middle East. He came to realize that the ordinary people he met there were unlike the images of Middle Easterners he often saw in the U.S. media. In 2009, he founded a peacemaking organization called Common Humanity, which seeks to build a better understanding of the people of the Middle East through art. The works to be on view in the upcoming exhibit portray the beauty and humanity of Middle Eastern and Arab culture. A

significant number of the artists hail from Iraq, and many of the artists had flourishing professional careers before violence compelled them to seek refuge in Syria. Lehman encountered these people in Damascus, facilitated by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and has been collaborating with them for over a decade. Additionally, the exhibit includes paintings by Syrian artists and a piece from Gaza. In addition to the exhibit, Lehman will teach a class at the Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning. For more information, visit www.thepathwaysinstitute .org/lancaster-county. Those unable to attend the exhibit may explore the artwork at www.commonhumanity.org.
