Last year, organizers of Journey to Bethlehem, an annual fundraiser for Woodcrest Retreat, changed the script a little by having participants meet up with a Roman guard on the journey. This year, a few more changes are planned. Some of those changes are related to COVID19 restrictions, but others are designed to enhance the experience for those who attend. Journey to Bethlehem differs from other live Nativity presentations because participants are given the opportunity to become part of the Christmas story as they follow Mary and Joseph to the stable where Christ was born. The 10th annual event will be held at the retreat center, 225 Woodcrest Drive, Ephrata, on Fridays, Dec. 11 and 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. and on Saturdays, Dec. 12 and 19, from 5 to 8 p.m. Adults and children who attend Journey to Bethlehem may participate in specific scenes leading up to and including Christ’s birth. As they travel with the characters from the Bible, participants will witness the angel’s visit to Mary and then walk to Bethlehem, where they will experience, along with Mary and Joseph, the disappointment
of finding there is no room at the inn. The journey will also take attendees to a marketplace, where they may spend a shekel to purchase raisins or crackers, and then to a field, where they will gather with shepherds to hear the angels announce Christ’s birth. Finally, visitors will arrive at a stable to see the Christ child in the manger. Adam Fox, summer camp director at Woodcrest Retreat, noted that the final stop, which in past years included a movie, will now be a live presentation that takes place in the palace of one of the wise men. “In the final scene, the wise men … have just discovered a sign in the stars,” explained Fox. “They will debate ... whether they should risk a long dangerous journey of many months through the desert to see this king. In the end, they decide it’s worth it because the king is worth it.” To stay within COVID-19 limitations for buildings, organizers ask that those who wish to attend register for a particular time slot by visiting www.woodcrestretreat.org. A link on the main page can be used to register. Walk-ins will be accepted as well, but they may have to wait longer to start the journey. Instead of a wagon ride to the first scene, school buses will be utilized, and fami-

“Less Snore, More Cuddle” Are you having trouble sleeping in 2020? If so, please... Take This Reader’s Quiz: 1. Do you snore at night, or sleep with someone who does? 2. Do you wake up with pain in your back or neck? 3. Do you share a bed with someone who wants a firmer or softer mattress than you? 4. Do you wish you could wake up more refreshed and full of energy? If you answered “Yes” twice or more, this story is for you.
Introducing “Less Snore, More Cuddle™” Sleep Systems The only sleep systems that provide a Cuddle Zone in the middle, while raising or lowering head or feet sections. This solves common health problems for couples who sleep together. Here are some of the healthy benefits:
The Snoring Solution Did you know that astronauts don’t snore in space? Snoring is made worse by gravity’s effect on the throat, which narrows the airway. For this reason, snoring can be cured by sleeping in zero gravity -- or on an adjustable Cuddle Zone sleep system to elevate you head.
Stop Compromising Your Sleep If you wish you half of the bed was firmer or softer, a Cuddle Zone system can help. With “His & Her” custom-fit technology, you get a firmness that’s just right for each of you, you keep the Cuddle Zone.

crab and his family came into my head,” said Meredith, who told her friend Kathy Young the story while confessing, “But I cannot draw.” Young suggested Madenspacher as illustrator. The author and artist met once before the pandemic arrived, and Madenspacher showed Meredith samples of her work. “ We hit it off right away. I knew she would be the right person,” recalled Meredith, who requested watercolors for a story that took place at the beach. For the next several months the pair communicated online as Meredith tweaked the story. “I would send her the text from a page, and she would interpret it so beautifully,” said Meredith. “It was a godsend that we were partnered together.” “Henri’s Home” is the story of a hermit crab who lives with his family under a fishing pier. The tale sets the stage for Henri’s “growing” experience as he and his sister and parents scavenge along the shoreline, duck predator
seagulls, and play together. When Henri outgrows his shell, a new one is found, but as he adjusts to his larger home, a mishap occurs that separates Henri from his pier. His adventure gives him and the reader an opportunity to meet many ocean creatures and learn how they live as Henri endeavors to find his family again. The book, which features more than 40 of Madenspacher’s drawings, was formatted by Ashley Reinhard and printed by Yurchak Printing in Landisville. Originally from upstate New York, Meredith worked as a Spanish teacher and a paralegal before moving to Lancaster with her first husband David Kluxen. When their children were preteens, David died as a result of a single-car accident in the early 1990s. Meredith journaled to work her way through her grief. “At night, I would write and cry and put it away,” she recalled. When she told a friend about the journal, the friend suggested Meredith’s

writings might help someone else through grief. “Listen for the Whispers: Coping With Grief and Learning to Live Again” was first published in 2010. The book contains a workbook to help those who might be going through a similar experience. Meredith has conducted workshops and given talks based on the book. Meredith describes her second book, “Ocean Whispers,” published in 2018, as a gift book. It was based on a summer 2017 beach trip where each morning for 42 mornings, she picked up a shell and wrote a corresponding message to go with it in her blog, calling the series “The Daily Shell.” Meredith brought the writing together with her seashell photos to create a book that was sold in shops in Ocean City and Cape May, N.J., as well as Rehoboth, Del.

Sheetz To Offer Free Coffee For The Holidays Sheetz has announced a new holiday coffee program to keep customers and employees safe this holiday season. To maintain social distancing as the pandemic continues, Sheetz will offer customers one free self-serve coffee every week during December and January. Available at all of Sheetz’s 614 store locations across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio, the program officially launched on Black Friday, Nov. 27, and the free coffee offer will be uploaded to each MySheetz Card holder’s account each
Friday in the months of December and January until Friday, Jan. 22, 2021. Each coffee will be redeemable for one week after it is uploaded to the cardholder’s account. In previous years, Sheetz celebrated the holidays by offering customers a free cup of freshly brewed coffee on Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. To eliminate large crowds and gatherings at its stores, Sheetz has implemented this special holiday coffee program. All Sheetz locations are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

pantry that is available to all area residents. Mission Church operations coordinator Tammi Nolt stated that the Mission Food Pantry is generally open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. “Once a month anyone can come pick up a box of food,” she said, noting that contact information will be requested from recipients but preregistration is not necessary. Each household is given one box of food weighing approximately 50 pounds, but Nolt said that other items are added when they are available. “This summer, we had a lot of produce, meat, and milk,” she said. “It depends
on what our stock is.” Jeremiah Miller, director of facility management at the church, said that the box of nonperishable items generally contains cans of vegetables or fruit, canned meat, and a variety of pastas and sauce. He added that sometimes oatmeal or granola bars are included along with coffee, tea, and snacks. “Comfort food is always nice to have,” he said. In its first six months, the food pantry fed 1,000 different families. “We have provided about 2,500 boxes of food since we started,” Nolt said of the drive-through operation. Bitler noted that recipients pull up and are signed in by volunteers before receiving boxes of items. Personal care products and detergents are often available
December 2, 2020 - 7
Currently, Miller and Nolt are doing some of the work to manage the pantry, but most of the effort is overseen by volunteers. Eventually, the church hopes to provide a shopping experience for food pantry recipients. “It will be easier when people are seeing (food items) and choosing them,” said Bitler. During the summer, the pantry was supplemented by the church’s own garden plot located at the back of the building. “We grew tomatoes, peppers, squashes, green beans, and sweet potatoes,” said Miller. Bitler added that organizers plan to double the size of the garden in 2021.

MT Sports Teams Find Success In A Season Of Uncertainty
The general consensus regarding the year 2020 is that in a variety of everyday activities, things have been drastically different because of COVID-19. The Manheim Township boys’ soccer team had a firsthand taste of that in its run for the District Three Class 4A championship. The Blue Streaks were unable to compete against Cumberland Valley in the championship match scheduled for Nov. 11 due to COVID-19 issues. The Streaks earned a trip to the title game thanks to a 14-2 record, which included a 3-0 victory in the semifinal match at home on Nov. 7. Township topped Dallastown on two first-half goals (Shawn Larroza and Andrew Sheehan) and one more in the 69th minute from Tyson Johns. Moses Beers registered an assist while on the Township end of the pitch goalie Quinn McCarty held on for a shutout. On the regular season, the Streaks claimed the Section One title, losing only one regular-season league match - a 2-0 setback to section foe Hempfield in early October, returning the favor two weeks later at home. The Blue Streaks, who outscored opponents 42-8 in the regular season, went on to claim the league trophy with a 5-1 triumph over Lancaster Catholic in the league semis on Oct. 28 followed by a 3-1 victory on Halloween, defeating the McCaskey Red Tornado in the title game at Warwick. Conestoga Valley, a familiar foe from the L-L League, was the Streaks’ first district playoff hurdle - a 3-0 victory at Township - on their way to the semifinal versus Dallastown. GIRLS’ SOCCER Township’s girls’ soccer team also made it to the District Three 4A playoffs, bowing out in the semifinals with a loss to Central Dauphin on Nov. 7. The Blue Streaks entered the districts as the second seed. While top seed Wilson was upset by fifth-seeded Cumberland Valley in the first round, the streaks edged
seventh-seed Dallastown 1-0 at home on Nov. 4. Three days later the home field advantage was not an issue as the Rams, who scored three times in the first half of the 3-0 victory. They ended the Streaks’ season at 13-2. The girls’ 2020 campaign also included a league championship. In the league playoffs, Township outscored its opponents 11-1, including a 6-0 defeat of Northern Lebanon at L-S on Oct. 26 - a game in which Liza Suydam had a hat trick - and a 5-1 blowout of Elco in the title game at Warwick on Oct. 28. FOOTBALL The Blue Streaks’ five-game winning streak to close out the regular season was unfortunately just that a winning streak to close out the season. The Blue Streaks finished their abbreviated season (due to COVID-19 modified scheduling) 5-2 with a 4-1 league record, finishing one game behind Wilson in Section One. “We had two tough games right out of the gate,” head coach Mark Evans remarked, referring to the season-opening 35-27 loss to State College and a very close 31-28 loss to Wilson. “We just ran out of time in those two games,” Evans added. “We just ran out of time for the season.” When the winning streak started, Township posted victories such as 49-14 at Cedar Crest, 49-7 at archrival Hempfield, and 56-14 at home against McCaskey before closing it out on a 41-7 defeat of Cocalico. The offense that put up such numbers was led by senior quarterback Evan Clark. “He had a great season,” Evans said of his quarterback. “He had to wait his turn and he did a great job with it.” What he managed was to finish as the highest-ranked passer in the league, completing 98 of 141 atempts for 1,505 yards and throwing 18 touchdowns with no interceptions.
The offense was multidimensional, featuring the running attack of Cade Clancy, who not only ran for 531 yards and nine rushing TDs, but caught 19 passes for 233 yards and four touchdowns. Eddie McDevitt caught 18 passes for 210 yards while Anthony Ivey led all receivers with 506 yards on 23 receptions five for touchdowns. “Eddie McDevitt and Cade Clancy played tough on both sides of the ball,” Evans said. Of course accurate passing quarterbacks, shifty tailbacks, and fleetfooted receivers earn their yardage largely due to a solid blocking game up front - the unsung heroes on the offensive line. “Jorge Duran, first-year starter, worked hard in the offseason,” Evans said. “Luke Kelley changed positions and played on the O-line and defensive line. He did a really nice job. “Ezequiel Concepcion Mena was doing a great job until an illegal block on him injured his knee,” continued the coach. Other contributors included Michael Vega, Aaron Paul, Dan Engel, Shamir Alberto, and nose guard Charlie Newman. “The grit and determination of our players helped us get five wins,” Evans said, who lamented missing a shot at the postseason with revised scheduling. “I think we finished sixth according to the usual district power rankings,” he pointed out. “If they took eight, we would’ve made it.” Looking at the strong performances and the mark this year’s leading upperclassmen have left, Evans remarked, “The strength of our program is that we’ve had kids waiting their turn. What are next year’s seniors going to do? “One of our themes for the year was NOW - No Opportunity Wasted.” FIELD HOCKEY In a highly competitive Section One, the Township field hockey team finished fourth with an L-L
League record of 6-4-0 (7-4-1 overall) in 2020. The powerhouse Penn Manor squad went 9-1-0 in league play, outscoring Section One opponents 34-2, with the two goals coming in a 2-1 loss to Warwick. But when it came to matches against MT, the Comets won the two meetings only by an aggregate score of 3-0. As impressive as Manor’s numbers may have been, consider that Township outscored its opponents 25-9, registering six shutouts and suffering a pair of 1-0 defeats in addition to playing Wilson to a scoreless draw in a non-league game. Sophomore goalie Madeline Eckert racked up 68 saves on the year. On offense Brittney Heim and Natalie Phillips led the way with seven points each. Heim scored seven goals while Phillips netted four goals and assisted on three. TENNIS In girls’ tennis, the Streaks featured great team and individual accomplishments in 2020. The Blue Streaks claimed the District Three 3A team championship but came up short in the PIAA with a loss to Greater Latrobe in the semis. Avery Palandjian and Scotty Reynolds claimed the number one and two singles, respectively, in the district semis, with straight set scores of 6-2, 6-0 and 6-0, 6-0. Township went on to defeat Lampeter-Strasburg 4-0 at Neffsville. Kayla Kurtz won the third singles 60, 6-1 while the number one doubles went to Cami Henneman and Julia Briner by 6-2, 6-0 scores. Township (11-0) won the championship match on its home court as well, beating Hershey 4-1. The Henneman/Briner twosome won 6-1, 62. In singles play, Palandjian downed Caroline Corcoran 7-6 (4), 6-1. Reynolds (6-0, 6-1) and Kurtz (6-2, 6-3) both won in straight sets. The District Three champ Blue Streaks downed District Two winner Abington Heights in the quarterfi-
nals of the PIAA’s by a 5-0 score on Oct. 28, but were unable to get past Greater Latrobe in a 3-2 loss. The quarterfinal match was held at Birchwood Tennis Club in Clarks Summit. Henneman and Briner were straight-set winners in first doubles while Jade Miller and Sophia Yost claimed the number two doubles. Palandjian, Reynolds, and Kurtz finished the singles sets quickly. Also in the postseason, Palandjian and Reynolds won gold in the District Three 3A championships. On Oct. 23, they won the semis and the title match at Hempfield recCenter, defeating Hershey’s Caroline Corcoran and Sam Bogush 6-2, 6-1 for the title. In states, they were 6-0, 6-1 winners in the quarterfinals on Nov. 4, but fell 6-2, 6-2 to eventual champs - Kat Wang and Marra Bruce of Peters Township - three days later at Hershey Racquet Club. The regular season was an unbeaten one for the Streaks (12-0, 8-0 league) with Hempfield finishing 7-1 in the Section One standings. CROSS-COUNTRY In the Oct. 20 L-L League championship race at Ephrata Middle School, the Township boys’ team finished fourth with 147 team points. Hempfield was the team champ with 44 points with Cedar Crest (61) finishing second. Junior Tyler Stevens was spectacular on the course, finishing fourth overall with a time of 16:37.2. Braden Schuyler took 26th while Luke Papadimitrio claimed 33rd. The girls’ team edged Hempfield by one point to finish third in leagues with 84 points to the Knights’ 85. Ava Shirk finished third followed by Sarah Russo’s 12thplace finish while Marina Papadimitrio and Jenny Weiss took 21st and 22nd, respectively. Avery Ebersole was 26th. Shirk was 14th in the girls’ District Three Class 3A race at Big Spring on Oct. 31.
Stevens had a solid 15th-place finish in districts. He qualified for states, where he finished 20th on Nov. 7. GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL Despite its 4-8 record, the Township girls’ volleyball team was typically in the thick of things in a talented Section One class of volleyball programs in 2020. The Blue Streaks opened the year 2-2, losing both matches to eventual league champion and District Three Class 4A runner-up Hempfield. Losses to Penn Manor, Conestoga Valley, and Warwick dropped the team’s mark to 2-5 only to have the Streaks post 3-1 wins over Cedar Crest and Penn Manor. A heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Conestoga Valley on Oct. 21 marked the beginning of a losing streak - three straight. In the CV match, the Streaks led 2-1 only to lose a tough 25-21 fourth set and dropped the fifth set 15-12. Addison Journey, who led the team with 40 kills on the year, poured in 13 in this match while Emily Thorsen finished with five aces and 24 assists. Thorsen had a team-leading 110 assists on the year while Sarah Journey racked up a team high 108 digs. GOLF Sean Cliff, who led Township golfers with an average score of 73 on the year, was named Section One first team all-star along with fellow MT senior Connor Strine while honorable mention went to Andrew Bilson and Emmett Kappesser. On the regular season, the Township golf team was a perfect 20-0. In the L-L League Championships on Oct. 21, Strine finished atop the leaders with a 5-over-par 76 while Cliff finished in a four-way tie for fourth. Cliff and Strine joined Daniel Boone’s Colton Yenser for a threeway tie for seventh at the District Three 3A championships with a 6over-par total of 150 at Briarwood Golf Club. Bilson finished in a threeway tie for 25th.
Virtual Alternative Gift Fair Planned Baseball Team Wins Tournament Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster will celebrate 13 years of spreading holiday cheer through alternative giving on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will be held virtually due to the pandemic. To date, Gifts That Give Hope has raised over $300,000 for a variety of charitable organizations based in Lancaster and those working around the world. The fair will consist of 30 local and global nonprofit organizations that carry out a range of humanitarian efforts.
Each nonprofit will have a donation-based gift for shoppers to purchase in honor of friends and family members on their holiday gift list. The goal of the gift fair is to encourage the generous spirit of the giving season down a more mindful path via alternative giving. Rooted in compassion, alternative giving helps people give threefold by showing friends and family they care about them with a gift, by supporting organizations that contribute positively to the social landscape, and by com-
bating the environmental impact of consumerism. Each nonprofit at the fair will offer one undesignated gift that allows shoppers to contribute a custom donation that will support its general mission. Upon checkout, shoppers will receive a gift insert and card, which will be mailed to their home in time for the holiday season. For more information, including a list of the participating nonprofits, readers may visit www.giftsthatgive hope.org/lancaster.
