Hinkletown Mennonite School (HMS) middle school students will present “Charlotte’s Web” on Friday, February 24 and Saturday, February 25 at the school campus. The whole family will enjoy this classic story of friendship and care based on the book from E.B. White. Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig, Fern the little girl, and the other farm animals show the growth and power of

friendship, as they work together to save Wilbur. Performances include a dinner theater at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, February 24 (tickets required), followed by two performances on Saturday, February 25 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tickets are available at www.hinkletownschool. org.

Shown in the photo, from left to right, are Riley Ament ­ grade 6, Fern; Lily Zimm­

erman ­ grade 7, Charlotte; and Eve Martin ­ grade 7, Wilbur.

Middle school students are growing in their friendships through the production as well. Riley Ament (grade 6) plays Fern and while she has been in productions at Servant Stage, Cavod Academy, and EPAC, she’s “especially excited for this [production] to be with friends and classmates.” Lily Zimm­

erman (grade 7) plays Charlotte and agrees that friendship is a key for this show, “Since Eve (playing Wilbur) is my real friend, it is fun being characters together.”

All HMS middle school students are involved in making this production possible. “We like to call our annual play a ‘big group project’ for our nearly 70

middle school students in grades 6 to 8,” shares Jeremy Horning, Middle School Coordinator and teacher. “Learning the theater production process is important, especially realizing that everyone has a God­given gift and can contribute. Every middle school student is involved, whether they are hanging up

“Pieces From The Past” - Featuring The New Holland Area Historical Society

Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese

“Pieces From The Past” continues this week, featuring the New Holland Area Historical Society. In this weekly article, Shopping News readers will learn about local items housed in local museums and historical societies.

This photograph, which is on display at the New Holland Area Historical Society Museum, provides a unique insight to the traffic hazards that our forefathers were exposed to during the early 20th century. The view is looking east from Brimmer Avenue along Jackson Street in about 1916. This was part of the neighborhood that was developed by the New Holland Real Estate Company. Note on the right

there is a road sign that reads, “Danger Sound Klaxon” (a klaxon is a car

horn). The first stop sign installed in America was in 1915, but there were none in

New Holland until years later. As each car approached an intersection, rather than

Technically a large berry, avocados have become a popular ingredient for dips, salads, breakfast items, and even desserts. Known as a “superfood,” this bright green fruit is a great source of nutrients and healthy fats.

We asked readers to share their favorite recipes with us. To view all of the recipes submitted, along with those submitted for past Hometown Flavors sections,

Avocado Chocolate Pudding

Gloria Dougherty, Akron

3 large ripe avocados

1 large ripe banana

½ cup maple syrup or honey

3 tablespoons cocoa

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Chill before serving.

Notes: You can use a frozen banana, or freeze the pudding for chocolate ice cream, stirring every 20 minutes so it doesn’t get icy, until serving time.

Easy Guacamole

Jennifer S., Ephrata

1 or 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1 small white onion, chopped

1 tomato, chopped juice from half a lemon juice from half a lime salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Cut avocados and remove pits. Scrape inside of avocado out and into a mixing bowl. Mash avocado with a fork. Add onion and tomatoes, lime and lemon juices, and salt and pepper to bowl. Continue mashing avocado until all ingredients

are combined.

Serve with chips, crackers, or on toast.

Note: One half of the avocado is enough for one piece of avocado toast.

Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Jeffrey L., Ephrata

“This makes an easy meal with soup or salad.”

1 ripe tomato

1 avocado

4 slices bread (homemade, whole wheat, sourdough or artisan) butter or mayonnaise

1 cup shredded mozzarella

cheese

¼ cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

kosher salt

If you’d like, pre­toast the bread slices in the toaster (this makes sure to get them perfectly crunchy before grilling the sandwich).

Slice the tomatoes, place the slices on a plate, and sprinkle with kosher salt. Slice the avocado and sprinkle it with salt.

Spread butter or mayo on one side of each of the bread pieces. Heat a griddle pan to medium high heat.

Place two pieces of bread on the griddle, buttered side down. On each piece, spread ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan, tomato slices, avocado slices, the other ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, a sprinkle of kosher salt and the other piece of bread (spread with mayo if you’d like).

When the bottom bread is browned, flip the sandwich and cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.

Ich bin ins Bett un hab gschlofe wie en Balke. Des waar’s End vun en Daag mit viel Elend un doch hot’s mir Schpass gmacht.

Ich bin die Freind, Professor Brod Fresser ***

The time had come for the sale to begin. Glenn had assembled his team: Tim, Nelson and Glenn Zimmerman, Tom, Claudette and Dave, Zimmy and his helpers, Ann Lausch and Mike Young. Usually Lizzy Zimmerman is there helping, but today is Ascension Day and she was unable to be here. Lizzie is married to Elam Zimmerman, a farmer and a carpenter. ­ Mike Young is currently a student at Millersville University, where his father had been a coach.Now Zimmy turned on the lights. The food stand was ready. They were selling such items as hamburgers, potato chips, and coffee. And who is there first in line? Yep, it’s Charlie Good. Right behind him are Frank Slabach and Ike Wenger. And there’s Warren Sensenig waiting for a cup of coffee. And Lester Dennis needs a bite to eat before the sale begins. And bringing up the rear is none other than Truman Wade,

B.­G.’s uncle. ­ They’re ready to being. Glenn asks, “Did you get your number?” and then admonishes the buyers, “If you buy it, you pay for it and you take it away!” Dot almost went berserk in her buying. The auctioneers called out number 28 (our number) almost every other time. How on earth are we going to get these things home? She’s buying and buying! And the pile before me got bigger and bigger. From time to time she would ask, “Don’t you think we could use that?” (and up went her hand). ­ Finally, I crawled from beneath the pile to put our purchases in the car. It was raining and I got wet. What have I done that I have to suffer through this? The car is just about full, How am I going to squeeze my wife in? I know, I’ll get a shoe horn. Was I pleased to have everything loaded.

I have to look around to see who’s here. There’s David Weaver from Carpenter’s Church. His wife used to clean for Charlie. There’s Flossie Foltz, chatting with David Glick’s son, who farms just behind Charlie’s house. I see Sue Slabach talking with Harry and Herb Beam. ­ And who’s sitting next to Arlene Slabach? Yes, it’s Lydia Shirk with her baby on her lap. Baby Lori arrived prematurely, so it’s hard to tell exactly how old she is. Like Bischli­Gnippli, she was born before her time. And who are those busy girls helping Ann Lausch? They are none other than Lydia’s daughters, Diane and Sharon. Like Nelson and Glenn, they speak Dutch beautifully. ­ I went into the bathroom to wash my hands. Then I went back under the tent and what do you think? Dot had accumulated another pile. Now what should I do? How can I get this stuff home? At that point Auctioneer Glenn announced that we could pick up our things on Saturday morning at 9. ­ Suddenly the lights went out! But before long, Zimmy had fixed them. Then I payed for all our purchases. Pretty soon they’ll send me to the poorhouse. Finally we got back to our car. With all my strength I squeezed Dot into the car. Homeward we sailed. It was about 11 p.m. I told Dot I was hungry, so she warmed a bowl of potato soup for me. I went to bed and slept like a log. That was the end of a day of woe and yet filled with fun. I am your friend, Professor Bread Eater ***

And thus we bring to an end the highly original report by Dave Hornberger, alias Professor Bread Eater, on that eventful Ascension Day sale just north of Sandy Beach in West Earl Township, right here in Lancaster County. The rain didn’t seem to dampen anyone’s spirits. If you happen to meet any of the characters introduced in this sketch, you might ask them to confirm or deny any aspect of this report which might have confused you. I think it’s safe to conclude that “A good time was had by all.”

Who do you trust?

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Jeremiah 17:5

“Thus says the Lord; cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, who’s heart departs from the Lord.”

These stinging words from Jeremiah were written to Judah (the northern

kingdom) because they turned from the true God to worship idols. The nation became as the other pagan nations around them.

Jeremiah isn’t describing a salvation they had and lost… they lost the very way of salvation and trusted in the flesh. How did they turn? Little by little they allowed the world around them to shape their beliefs until they began to worship on “the high hills, by the green trees, and at wooden images” described in verse 2 of this chapter.

Asherah are carved wooden images affixed to the top of a pole. Asherah can also be carved poles or stone pillars. There are various

forms of the similar idols. Just like the tower of Babel when the nations built a tower to worship a god of their own making. In the twenty first century, we are

more sophisticated than this, but we do the very same thing… how you say; by believing any of the following perspectives: God will accept me on my

W ORSHIP J OINU S in

Building

own merit, I am not a bad person, my good works will outweigh the bad, I have Christian parents, I go to church, success is about money, I am an educated person, I trust in science. The Bible says, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”(Jesus Christ) (Acts 4:12)

It’s only by acknowledging our sin and placing our faith in Christ and his finished work on the cross as atonement for our sin that secures salvation. All religions lead to the same path…destruction. There will be more religious

people in hell than any other type. “Enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many are on it but narrow is the gate and narrow is the way which leads to life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13, 14). I am talking about a relationship which we can have with God through Christ alone. The difference between religion and this relationship are four letters… DONE… all religions are about DOING and you’re never sure if you did enough. Christianity is done; (Christ’s work on the cross) and it’s completely done. “But when this priest (Christ) had offered for all

time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.” (Hebrews 10:12). When Christ died on the cross He made it possible for every man, woman and child to be saved. But only those who realize they have sinned (repentance) and receive (pardon for all our sin) by placing their faith in Christ are saved!

The associated judgment on Judah for “trusting in the flesh” is enumerated in verses 1­4 of this chapter. Because they turned from the true God to false worship, they lost their freedom and went into captivity under Babylon ­ “you will serve your enemies.” They lost their wealth ­ “I will give as plunder your wealth.” Verse 6 says this person who trusts in man or flesh “shall be like a shrub in the desert and not see good but inhabit a parched place barren not inhabitable land.”

Following Jesus Christ yields a very different life; Verses 7­8 describe the results of blessings that follow a right relationship with the God of the universe through His Son Jesus Christ. “For he will be like a tree planted by the water that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.”

Don’t trust in man or the flesh departing from The Lord. Believe on the Lord and be saved.

8th Grade

Chloe Martin is a studious 8th grader at Gehmans Mennonite School. She enjoys school, and her favorite part about it is Phys. Ed. and being with her friends. After graduating from GMS, she plans to go to Firm Foundations Academy.

In her spare time, she enjoys reading. Her favorite book is My Name is Chloe by Melody Carlson. Chloe is an avid reader who always has a book in hand. Other activities she enjoys include basketball, being outside, and going to the beach with her family. She also loves hanging out with friends on the weekends. Some of her favorite places to visit around Lancaster County are Agape Café and Fashion Cents.

If Chloe were to change something in the world today, it would be abortion. “I admire Abraham Lincoln because he was very inspiring,” she says. “It was really cool how he freed the slaves because he believed slavery was wrong.”

She plans to get a job at her uncle’s farm, though a career she would like to pursue is interior design. She would even like to start an interior design company someday.

You may see Chloe laughing with her friends or quietly studying in class. “I love sports, and I like to be active.” Chloe is super bubbly and nice, and I love being her friend.

Ephrata, PA 717-733-4388 Paints

Senior Students in high school often are involved in a few clubs, organizations, and sports. But for one Garden Spot senior, the question is: what doesn’t Grace McCarty do?

Grace McCarty, 17, is involved in numerous activities, ranging from school organizations to community service. She maintains her busy schedule, going from planning FFA events to creating marketing media in her Girls On the Run internship program.

When asked “How have your activities impacted your academic career?” she says, “When I think about all the activities that I have partaken in, I think about 3 words: Leadership, advocacy, and growth.”

McCarty has completed leadership events through FFA, an agricultural organization. She is passionate about spreading kindness and advocating for others. “I truly believe that all of these activities have made me become a more well-rounded person,” she says.

She is a member of student council, health council, National Honor Society, and Spartan Fuel. She also serves as treasurer of Grassland FFA.

Outside of school, she is a coach for Girls On the Run and interns in a third-grade classroom at Brecknock Elementary School. She also does community service through Cross Net Ministries in New Holland.

She spends her free time with her horse, Hank.
