Church Plans Organ Dedication Concert
First Presbyterian Church, 101 S. Decatur St., Strasburg, will host a concert of famous organ pieces on Sunday, Nov. 20, at 3 p.m. Held in the main sanctuary, the event will feature Peter Stoltzfus Berton, a recitalist from Rhode Island.
The purpose of the program is to dedicate the church’s new organ, a three-manual Allen instrument with the latest in computer sampling technology. The organ is actually five organs in one, emulating instruments from Philadelphia as well as several famous European organs. All of the available sounds of the organ will be utilized by Berton.
The program will include works by Bach, Elgar, Franck and Vierne, along with wellknown hymn tunes and patriotic numbers. The music was chosen to highlight the breadth of tonal color and flexibility of the instrument.
Berton is the organist and choirmaster at Zabriskie Memorial Church of St. John the Evangelist, Newport, R.I., and the founding executive director of The Choir School of Newport County. He holds degrees from the University of Michigan School of Music and the Yale University School of Music. He is a published composer and has released several CDs.
Light refreshments will be served in the fellowship hall following the concert. The event is free and open to the public.

Daniel Geibe, 70, from Columbia, passed away unexpectedly at home in the early morning of Friday, November 4th. Dan was the son of the late Howard and Emmer Geibe. Dan grew up just outside of Columbia and graduated from Hempfi eld High School in 1971. In the late 1980’s thru mid 1990’s Dan volunteered as a youth baseball and football coach for the CBAA in Columbia. Dan worked as a forklift mechanic at the former Grinnell/ ITT in Columbia in the late 1970s thru 1987 and then at Lift Inc. in Lancaster from 1987 until his retirement in December of 2019. In retirement, Dan was a part-time driver for Buck Hill Construction. Dan was very mechanically inclined and he enjoyed spending time in his garage working on and fi xing many different things, including automobiles. He also enjoyed the many beach trips to Ocean City, New Jersey that he took with his family, including the most recent trip this past October. Dan could also be found watching some of his favorite things on TV such as the Philadelphia Phillies baseball games, NASCAR races, the TV show American Pickers, and TV programs about the Alaska Triangle. Dan also relished spending time with his grandson Chase and had a love for hot rods. Dan was preceded in death by his brother Leon. Dan is survived by his wife, Sally, of 48 years, two sons, Justin from Columbia, and Josh, husband of Gretchen Geibe from Red Lion, and one grandson, Chase and sister Rodena Blank from Gap. The family would like to thank everyone who has reached out with their thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement. R090247

Dutch Apple To Present “Elf The Musical”

Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre will present “Elf the Musical” this holiday season. Based on the 2003 Will Ferrell movie, the musical will open on Friday, Nov. 18, and run through Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023.
“Elf the Musical” introduces audience members to a young orphan named Buddy, who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Raised by elves, Buddy does not know he is actually a human. When his enormous size and poor toy-making skills cause him to face the truth, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity.
“Elf the Musical” features Matthew Michael as Buddy, Anna Parchem as Jovie, Payton Moledor as Emily Hobbs, Carter Gessamen and Brodie Kennedy sharing the part of Michael Hobbs, Craig Sherman as Walter Hobbs and Jim Moyer as Santa Claus.
The production is directed by Dean Sobon, with musical direction by JP Meyer and choreography by Kerry Lambert.

final scene, the three kings will invite guests to join them and follow the star of Bethlehem to the Nativity scene. Each scene will include narration and conclude with a song.
Herr began the holiday reenactment after she noticed people weren’t able to go to church as much due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the churches that were still open had limited space. “It seemed like we were losing touch. I thought, ‘There has to be something we can do,’” said Herr. She began researching what it would take to have a live, interactive Nativity event at the church with the help of her six committee members.
Herr’s idea was emphatically received by the community.
Journey to the Nativity was first held three years ago to keep people connected during the holiday season.
Actors volunteered to play the roles of shepherds, angels and the Holy Family, and the committee acquired the live animals needed to make the activity feel authentic. “There’s no way I could have done it myself,” said Herr. “It’s been an amazing experience.”

Zurn is a 21-year veteran technology education teacher in Lampeter-Strasburg School District, an amateur historian, and a Lancaster County resident since 1997. Zurn enjoys exploring off the trail, searching for forgotten locations, and documenting those experiences online.

Taking part in scenarios like a traffic stop, learning about weapon safety and criminal procedure and participating in fitness training are just some of the activities that youths can experience at the Pennsylvania State Police Hill Impact Program. The free 14-week course, which is open to young men and women ages 15 through 18, will take place at the Pennsylvania State Police Academy, 175 Hersheypark Drive, Hershey, on Tuesdays from Jan. 17 through April 18, 2023, from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Students who register for the program will receive matching T-shirts and hats to wear during the classes, as well as water bottles. Each session will include physical training (PT), followed by a time of instruction and hands-on activities.
“We introduce them to paramilitary disciplines - marching, standing at attention and saluting. We introduce them to physical fitness and we move into our law enforcement curriculum,” Long explained. “The first 30 minutes is a military drill and PT, and then there is an hour and a half of scenariobased training.”
Scenarios may include reenacting a traffic stop or responding to a mock call. “We make it fun and interactive. We try and let the kids do a lot of hands-on stuff in a safe way,” said Long. “They are (learning) and having fun at the same time.”
This is the third session of the Hill Impact Program, which is named for the Pennsylvania State Police Academy, known to locals as The Hill because of its location in Hershey. The course is open to students from all geographical locations. “For the first session, we had some students who drove three hours one way to attend,” Long pointed out.
He said that the students often come away from the program realizing that law enforcement officers have chosen their career because they want to serve the community. “As troopers, we put the community above ourselves. It’s amazing how fast they learn that and how quickly they catch on,” Long said.
The program also encourages a relationship between young people and law enforcement officers. “We have a core group of instructors that will be here every Tuesday. The kids not only are familiar with the faces, they develop a mentorship out of it as well,” Long noted. “We urge the kids if they have questions or need anything to reach out to us. We supply them with our contact information and we have question-and-answer sessions. It’s a great way for us to have that accessibility in the community.”



Physical fitness activities are part of the program.

Youths will learn about marching, standing at attention and saluting.
