Two notable musicians will be featured during the 33rd annual Apple Festival hosted by Boehm’s Chapel Society. The event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the campus of Boehm’s United Methodist Church (UMC), 13 W. Boehm’s Road, Willow Street. Vocalist Katie Wieand of Strasburg and woodwind specialist Tim Price of Reading will perform with Gracenotes, a 20-piece jazz band from Grace Community Church (GCC) of Willow Street. The group was formed by Darin Esterly, the music and arts coordinator at GCC, who plays saxophone in the band. Gracenotes is one facet of the music ministry at GCC, with many of the band members also playing in the congregation’s worship bands. Gracenotes members range in age
from 16 to 70s and in skill from student to professional. “Gracenotes tries to play at holidays, about four times a year. This is our first time to venture off-campus,” Esterly remarked. “We are inching more toward getting out there and showing what God is doing through musical arts.” The jazz band specializes in standards from the 1940s to 1960s. “We try to have the American songbook: Count Basie, Mancini, Gershwin, and more,” Esterly said. Several Gracenotes members - including Esterly - study saxophone with Price, who is a Berklee College of Music graduate and is considered one of the world’s foremost woodwind artists. Price has played with numerous musicians such as Charlie Watts, Richie Cole, and Doc Severinsen. He participated in GCC’s worship conference last year, See Apple Festival pg 7

Duane Hess had always wanted to open a second location beyond the Hess family business at 833 Central Manor Road in Washington Boro. “My theory was always to grow,” he explained. “If not, you might not always be here.” And grow is exactly what the family’s business has done. Duane and his brother and partner, Nick, have opened their second location, called Hess Auto Care LLC, at Brothers and business partners Nick (left) and 237 Manor Ave., Millersville.
