John “Jack” Womer

John “Jack” Womer, 85, of Stevens, passed away peacefully on April 9, 2024 at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center surrounded by his family. Jack was born June 2, 1938 in Zerbe, Schuylkill County, a son of the late Florence (Womer) Tobin. Jack was the loving husband of Peggy J. (Fenstermacher) Womer, with whom he celebrated 64 years of marriage in December.

Jack was a veteran of the U.S. Navy and proudly served on the USS Saratoga. After his military service, Jack worked for Bethlehem Steel Grace Mine, then as a MSHA inspector, a Compliance Officer for OSHA for 20 years, and finally doing consulting for High EHS.

Jack was owner of Jack’s Bike Shop, which he ran for 50 years. Whether he was tinkering with gears or spinning tales with customers, Jack found solace and joy amidst the greasy tools and well-worn tires. His dedication to his craft was evident in every perfectly tuned bike that left his shop, and his presence will be sorely missed by the cycling community.

Bruce Hudson

Bruce Hudson, 95, passed away on April 15, 2024 as a resident of Maple Farm.

Born in Drexel Hill, he was the son of the late Ernest and Lillian (Deputy) Hudson.

He enjoyed going on vacations to Memphis, Nashville, and Disney World with family and friends. Among the memories of magical castles and toe-tapping tunes, there’s one tale that stands out – the time Jack and his good friend thwarted a staged train robbery by calmly disarming the wouldbe bandit and turning the tables on the entire cast. Needless to say, it was a vacation none of his family will ever forget.

In addition to his devoted wife who he often referred to as his lovely bride, Jack is survived by his three children: two daughters, Jody (Scott) Galyon of Lititz, and Tammy Womer, of Ephrata; son,

He was the husband of the late Mary Lou (Dubson) Hudson, with whom he married on January 18, 1964 and shared 57 years of marriage until the time of her passing on January 8, 2022.

He graduated from Upper Darby High School in 1946 and Temple University in 1951, where he received his bachelor’s degree in business administration, majoring in real estate and insurance.

Bruce served in the US Army Reserve as a Second Lieutenant. He had established Bruce Hudson Realtor in Media in 1956, being licensed in PA, DE, MD, NJ and FL.

Es Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch Eck

By: e Late C. Richard Beam

So marickwaddich hatt.

(Originally published in the March 18, 1987 issue of The Shopping News)

DER SCHNEE

Der Schnee, der kummt so sachdich runner. Er leit so schee uff der Ard, Net wie en Summerdunner, As alles rum verschatt.

Wann amohl en Fuuss adder zwee

Die Landschaft zugedeckt hot

Des guckt no drum ganz zu schee.

Mer meent net as es weck sott.

Die yunge Buwe un die Maed, Die frehe sich druff hie

Fer Schlidde faahre, alle beed, Un fer en gudi Zeit gucke sie.

Der Daadi un die Mammi aa, Die welle bsuche geh.

Sie frehe sich dann aa do draa

An den scheene, weisse Schnee.

Darich die Nacht bloost der Wind

Bis mariyets macht’s eem schier gaar blind, Es is alles rumgeschatt.

Die Weg sin ganz voll mit Schnee, Deel Fense sin net zu sehne.

Newich re Bank is en Mann so glee As wie en gleener Draene.

No fangt awwer die Arewet aa, Sie misse noch der Scheier. Die Haahne graehe; Guckeriguh! Un iwwerall is en Geleier.

Mit Pick un Schipp un Bese Watt mohl en Paad gemacht.

Sie kenne net viel rehse, Fer sis widder zu bis Nacht.

Der Schtack watt gut getend

Darich den kalde Daag. Feierowed kummt frieh am End, Un’s geht niemand fer en Walk.

Die alde un die yunge Leit Hocke all no in der Kich.

Der Bachelor lacht as wie net gscheid Un die annere sin drauerich.

Of course es waar ken Schlidde Gfaahr In sellre Nochberschaft.

Schnee blendi un Schnee raar, Des waar doch schauderhaft.

Die Freed wu die Leit ghadde hen Is ihne ganz vergange.

Fer Schlidde faahre muss wenn

Sleigh­riding, all both, And having a good time.

Dad and Mom also Want to go visiting.

They too are delighted With the lovely, white snow.

The wind blows through the night So unusually hard.

Until morning one is almost blinded, Everything is all stirred around.

The roads are all covered with snow, Some fences are not to be seen.

Next to a bench is a man as small As a tiny teardrop.

Die Runners ken Grund fange. THE SNOW

The snow comes down so softly. It lies so beautifully on the earth, Not like a summer thunderstorm That stirs everything up.

When sometimes a foot or two Has covered the landscape, It is all too lovely. One thinks it should never go away.

The young boys and the girls Anticipate with pleasure

However then the work begins, They have to get to the barn. The roosters crow: Cock­a­doodle­doo!

And everywhere it is repeated.

With pick and shovel and broom A path is made.

They can’t accomplish too much, For by nightfall all is shut again.

The livestock is tended well Through the entire day.

The end of the day’s labors come early, And no one goes for a walk.

The old and the young folk

Then all sit in the kitchen.

The bachelor laughs like crazy And the others are sad.

Of course there was no sledding In that neighborhood. Snow aplenty and snow rare, This was terrible.

The eager anticipation the people had felt Left them completely. You must go sledding when The runners catch no ground. ***

On November 9, 1986, Anna G. Musser of Denver, Route 1, a faithful reader of our ECK in THE SHOPPING NEWS, wrote us expressing her delight with the writings of Gladys S. Martin. Anna informed us that she has a box of old clippings that came to her from her husband’s sister. Anna thinks that many of these clippings were taken from the New Holland Clarion, but they are in German. Anna is asking our readers whether the New Holland Clarion was ever printed in German? Does anyone know? We have urged Anna to share all of her clippings with us.

In addition to DER SCHNEE, which we are printing this week, Anna Musser sent us five additional Dutch columns: Nei Yohr, Es Fawra in der Train, Geschichten von Boova und Drom und We Es Rouskummen Ischt, Ich wott ich waer en Bauer! and Die menschliche Unzufriedenheit.

By looking at the back of the clipping of DER SCHNEE, we learned that it was printed in 1910 in a Lancaster city newspaper.

We wanted to get DER SCHNEE into print this week while snow is still in season. We hope we’ll be able to share additional old clippings from the supply of Anna G. Musser, whom we salute mit em alde Deitsche Schtrohhut this week!

It makes a good alternative to mix up your lunch options, especially in cold weather. Before you fill the thermos with your hot food, fill it with boiling water and let it sit for a good five minutes. Then empty out the water just before filling. The food will stay hot longer.” E.D. in Wisconsin

* If you have a smartphone (or just a cellphone that takes pictures), here’s a novel way of keeping track of printed information: Snap a quick pic. This works for store hours (get the store name in the picture with the hours), receipts, sales advertisements for reference when shopping and much much more. You can delete the photo when you are done.

* If you have a tablecloth that is stained, you might be able to salvage it into napkins or a table runner. You can edge it with a pretty and complementary fabric to spice things up a little.

* When putting in new plants, you can tear strips of tin foil, then use toothpicks or small stakes to pin them to the ground in your new garden. It will keep the cats out, and can even discourage birds.

* To remove the fat from your pot roast or other slowcooked meat dish, make then refrigerate. The fat will float to the top of the juices and coagulate. Remove this layer of fat and then reheat.

Never Even Missed It

Pastor John Fredericksen

One Sunday, a Christian family of four decided to take two different cars to church. After the service was over, the young boy rode home with his mom, while the eight-year-old girl rode with dad. The father and daughter decided to stop at a furniture store to look for a living room set. After a while, the dad got in his car and drove home. After a few minutes in the house, the mother asked, “Where’s Emily?” Until that question, the father had not realized that he left the store without his daughter and drove all the way home without her. Despite the solitude in the car, he never missed her until after arriving home. All the way back to the store, the ten­year­old brother, who was very angry with his father, kept asking his dad, “How could you have forgotten my sister?”

W

It is a simple reality that many times the most important things in life are simply forgotten. During the years of Israel’s many kings, a pattern of turning away from the Lord to false gods persisted. But that changed with one king. Once King Josiah ascended the throne, “he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord” (II Kings 22:2). “And like unto him there was no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might” (II Kings 23:25). Josiah became a spiritual reformer, ridding the land of false worship, sinful practices, and leading the nation back to the proper, exclusive worship of Jehovah.

This spiritual revival began at the beginning of Josiah’s reign and was built on one primary incident. Josiah instructed trusted people to make needed repairs in Israel’s house of worship, the temple, which had been neglected for many years. In the process of making these repairs, Hilkiah the high priest made an important discovery.

He reported back to King Josiah, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord” (II Kings 22:8). Amazingly, God’s chosen and blessed people, Israel, had been without God’s Word for decades. It had been absent in their times of worship, in their homes, in their conversations, in

their work place, and in their lives, AND NOBODY EVEN MISSED IT.

Over and over in the Old Testament, the Lord instructed Israel to build their lives around the Scriptures. They were to write portions of it on their door posts, read it daily, diligently teach it

J OINU S in

to their children, and make it a topic of conversation as they went about their day (Deut. 11:18­20). How could it be that God’s own people could be without God’s Word and not even miss it? No doubt the answer is through a growing neglect of the Scriptures, disinterest in spiritual things, and preoccupation with temporal things, resulting in a cold callousness toward the Lord. It’s a dangerous pattern and a dangerous place to be.

Could we today, who know Christ as Savior, come to a place where we have little or none of God’s Word in our lives and never even miss it? Absolutely, and it happens all the time. The same pattern that plagued Israel persists today. We are easily distracted and preoccupied with the temporal distractions of this world. Neglecting time in the Scriptures, or not applying it to our daily lives and conversations, can lead to a growing disinterest in the things of the Lord. It may be easier to see this in someone else’s life than in our own, but this danger is very real for all of us.

What should each of us do to avoid this from happening to us? The first thing is to be awakened to our need to make God and His Word preeminent in our lives. Just as Israel was to read it daily, constantly discuss it, and make it the central part of their worship, so it should be for us. This principle is just as needed today as it was for Israel. The Apostle Paul tells us to “hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love” (II Tim. 1:13). God’s Word in our lives is our lifeline to good spiritual health so “don’t leave home without it” and make it a topic of conversation with family and Christian friends. Finally, don’t neglect the place of worship where God’s Word is rightly divided and where the primary doctrines of grace are recognized to be found in the letters of the Apostle Paul.

First United Methodist Sermon Series

First United Methodist Church of Ephrata will begin a new sermon series on “The PARABLES: The Kingdom of Heaven is like…”

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44).

What is the Kingdom of Heaven like? Have you ever wondered what it is like to live in Heaven? Jesus preached repeatedly about the Kingdom of Heaven through the parables to make it simple and easy to understand for those who truly wanted to know. Jesus also said that we must change the world by making disciples of Jesus Christ in serving people, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and taking care of the poor and needy. Ultimately, however, the goal is to live in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus

maintained the balance between social justice and salvation.

Over the next four weeks, they will journey through the parables in the Book of Matthew to find out what the Kingdom of Heaven is like. Please join them!

Educational Paths To Follow In Pursuit Of Nursing

The field of nursing is vast. While providing medical assistance and support to patients is at the heart of any nursing career, the road to becoming a nurse varies.

There are many pathways to becoming a nurse, and each requires a specific amount of education, training and testing. Here’s a deep dive into the various professional degrees associated with nursing, courtesy of NurseJournal.org and Nurse.org.

Certified Nursing Assistant

A certified nursing assistant is how many people first enter the field of nursing. CNAs are not nurses, but they help nurses provide medical care. Becoming a CNA requires completion of a program that can last 12 weeks, a CNA certification exam and state (provincial) licensing.

Licensed Vocational or Practical Nurse

To become an LVN or LPN, individuals must finish a one-year program to receive a diploma, and pass the NCLEX­PN licensing exam. State or provincial licensing also is required.

Registered Nurse

Prospective registered

nurses can take two different paths. They can opt to get an associate’s degree in nursing (ADN), which involves a two- to three-year program. After completion of that program, candidates must pass the NCLEX­RN exam. Aspiring RNs also can pursue four-year degrees and earn a bachelor’s of science in nursing (BSN). They must then pass the NCLEX­RN exam. Those enrolled in associate’s or bachelor’s programs can

expect to take an array of classes, some of which may include Nursing Care for Elder Adults and Mental and Behavioral Health Nursing. There is evidence that patient outcomes may be improved under the care of BSN­prepared nurses, according to the American Association of Colleges and Nurses. As a result, many hospitals prefer BSNprepared applicants. Those with a BSN also may be able to advance to leadership and

administrative roles more easily.

Advanced Practice

Registered Nurse

Prospective APRNs will need a master’s of science in nursing to pursue this career path. This involves a postgraduate program that will require in­person clinical hours and a passing grade in a certification exam in the area of specialization. Others go further to obtain a doctorate of nursing practice degree, which is a bit more involved. APRNs can enjoy careers as Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Leaders, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, or Certified Nurse Midwives, with salaries averaging around $115,000. Those with MSN or DNP degrees also may take non-clinical routes, becoming administrators, informaticists, educators, or researchers.

Individuals thinking about nursing careers can do their research to learn which level of schooling best aligns with their interests. More information is available at Nurse. org.

Scrubs

Nurses Who Work With Children

Individuals get involved in nursing for many different reasons. Many pursue a career in nursing to help people who are sick. Others might have been compelled to pursue nursing after overcoming their own illness with the help of nurses. Many people become nurses to help children, and such individuals will find that there’s no shortage of opportunities to help kids in a health care setting.

• School nurse: Perhaps no role within the nursing profession is more synonymous with helping kids than a school nurse. School nurses perform a range of tasks, from administering medication to students during the school day to managing injuries or illness that arise while kids are on school grounds. Since they work outside of a health care facility, school nurses typically work alone in an environment that tends to be less stressful than many settings. According to the nursing and health care education resource NursingProcess.org, school nurses typically must be a registered nurse (RN) and receive their education from a four-year bachelor’s degree program

or a two-year associate’s program.

• Pediatrician’s office: Many nurses work in the office of a pediatrician. Nurses working in such settings may administer vaccines and assist in routine wellness visits. A pediatrician’s office may be the ideal setting for aspiring nurses who want to work with children of all ages, as many kids see their pediatricians into their teenage years. NursingProcess.org notes that nurses in a pediatrician’s office must be an RN and receive their education from a fouryear bachelor’s degree program or a two-year associate’s program.

• Pediatric intensive care unit: Nurses who work in a PICU work with children ranging in age from infants to teenagers. Patients in a PICU need round­the­clock monitoring, so this can be an intense setting for nurses.

Though the requirements to be a PICU nurse are similar to school nurse and a nurse in a pediatrician’s office, the field is competitive, so it’s unlikely new graduates will find a job in a PICU right away. Experience gained outside of a PICU also can prepare nurses for the stress that comes with working in such a facility.

• Pediatric emergency department: Another poten­

tially stressful position for nurses who hope to work with children is a job within a pediatric emergency department. NursingProcess. org notes that patients in pediatric emergency departments typically have suffered trauma or injury, so this environment can be fastpaced and keep nurses on their toes. In addition to being an RN and earning a degree from a four-year bachelor’s degree program or a two-year associate’s program, pediatric emergency department nurses may need to become a certified pediatric emergency nurse (CPEN).

• Labor and delivery nurse: Labor and delivery nurses work alongside mothers before, during and after the labor process. NursingProcess.org notes that labor and delivery nurses monitor the vital signs of both the mom and baby and provide care for the baby immediately after birth. Labor and delivery nurses must be an RN and earn a degree from a four-year bachelor’s degree program or a two-year associate’s program.

These are just a handful of the many professions within the field of nursing in which nurses work with children. More information is available at NursingProcess. org.

Nurses’ Selfless Commitment To Quality Care

Few likely forget scenes that emerged during the early days of the COVID­19 pandemic when nurses working in hospitals overwhelmed with sick and dying patients were applauded by local residents. Such public expressions of appreciation were a testament to the sacrifices and risks nurses accepted as COVID claimed more and more lives. In those early days of the pandemic, nurses worked especially long hours, and even though the pandemic is over, nurses continue to work considerably longer workdays than the average profession. The American Nurses Association notes that 12­hour shifts are the standard for many nurses working in hospital settings. The lengthy, often exhausting shifts worked by nurses are another example of their devotion to their patients, as the ANA notes one of the reasons nursing shifts are so long is to ensure better continuity of care for patients. With just two shift changes per day, hospitals reduce patient handoffs, and the ANA notes that decreases the risk for miscommunication or misunderstandings that could com-

promise patient care and health.

Though 12­hour shifts are the norm for nurses working in hospitals, the ANA notes that such schedules can have drawbacks, and those can adversely affect nurses. Fatigue from 12­hour shifts, which can and often do last longer than 12 hours thanks to paperwork and additional tasks nurses may not be able to get to during ordinary working hours, can lead to burnout. In addition, nurses typically have limited

downtime on workdays, which means they have few hours to spend with family and friends on days when they work. And nurses working 12­hour shifts may find they spend a significant portion of their time off recuperating from their long shifts, which can adversely affect their overall quality of life.

Twelve-hour shifts are another example of the selfless commitment exhibited by nurses working in hospital settings.

The Many Hats Worn By ER Nurses

Emergency rooms are fastpaced environments. ER nurses are right in the thick of things, performing a range of tasks that illustrate the value and talent of these highly skilled professionals. Though many things attract people to a career as an ER nurse, the spontaneity of the job undoubtedly merits consideration. No two shifts are the same for ER nurses, whose ability to thrive despite that lack of routine is remarkable. Individuals curious about what a day in the life of an ER nurse might be like should know that the following are just some of

(Continued On Page 20A)

the many tasks these invaluable professionals may be asked to perform in a given shift.

• Triage: ER nurses helps with the preliminary assessment of patients in order to determine the urgency of their needs. Often referred to as “triage,” this part of the job underscores the depth of medical knowledge ER nurses must have, as assessing a patient’s needs often requires quick thinking and recognition of details that patients themselves may not have identified or communicated.

• Vital signs: ER nurses are typically tasked with taking and monitoring patients’ vital signs. This may include taking and documenting pulse rate, blood pressure and body temperature, among other signs. This information is essential for keeping patients safe and ensuring assessments are accurate.

• Medication administration: ER nurses also routinely administer medication prescribed by a doctor as well as any medications patients were taking prior to

being admitted to the ER. Nurses’ experience and knowledge is vital when performing this task, as they can consult with physicians about patients’ existing medications, which may dictate what the doctor can and cannot prescribe to treat the condition that brought the individual to the ER. When tasked with administering medication, ER nurses may prepare intravenous infusion of medications and may need to contact the patient’s family or pharmacist to confirm which medications the patient was taking to treat preexisting conditions.

• Medical procedures: ER nurses sometimes assist physicians as they perform certain medical procedures. For example, nurses may intubate patients and suture wounds during procedures.

• Monitor patients: ER nurses are often the face of a hospital for patients and their families. Much of these interactions occur while nurses are monitoring patients before they see a physician and after a physician has ordered tests or treatments. In this regard, ER nurses must excel at comforting patients and their families until a diagnosis is delivered or confirmed via testing.

The Role Of Certified Nursing Assistants

The nursing profession is vast and attracts an array o talented people. A career as a nursing assistant can be a rewarding path for those who want to get into the profession.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, health care jobs are expected to grow by 13 percent between 2021 and 2031, making a nursing career an attractive option.

What is a nursing assistant?

According to Premier Nursing Academy, a certified nursing assistant is an entry-level step into the medical field. A CNA is not a nurse, but these individuals will work very closely under the supervision of licensed nursing staff, physicians and other health care providers.

Why become a CNA?

Many people are drawn to becoming a CNA because the job presents a start in a career in health care. While some are content to remain CNAs for the duration of their careers, other CNAs use the position as a way to get on­the­job experience that can help them decide if they want to go further in the field of nursing. CNA certification does not require extensive education. On

average, it takes between four to 10 weeks to complete the necessary coursework to become a certified nursing assistant.

Average day for a CNA

According to Indeed, a CNA can expect to perform these tasks on any given day.

• Administer medications to patients.

• Assist patients with activities of daily living.

• Bathe and dress patients.

• Check vital signs.

• Serve meals and help patients eat.

• Watch for changes in patients’ behaviors or worsening conditions.

• Reposition bedridden patients.

CNAs work in many different settings, including at hospitals or in residential nursing homes.

Salary and Outlook

The BLS estimates that demand for certified nursing assistants will increase by 5

percent by 2031. Interested parties can expect to earn a median annual wage of $30,290. Should one want to go on to becoming a registered nurse, he or she can expect a salary of $77,600.

Certified nursing assistants play important roles in the medical field. CNAs hone their skills in facilities and can choose to stay put or go on to more advanced nursing careers.
