ORANGES

I know we should always be content and shouldn’t wish to live elsewhere; but if I were given a choice, I would not be sad to live where oranges grow. Oranges are one of my favorite fruits. I’ll take every one you’ll give me. To suck one, all you need do is to squeeze. The fat ones give you the most. There are many kinds I prefer the sweet.

If you burst a slice you can spray someone. If you see an orange with a navel, it won’t have seeds like most oranges have. Some have thick shells, others are thinner. It matters not which to thirsty children. A glass of juice each morning keeps them healthy. I’m not surprised they do not tire of it. Some think oranges have artificial color. Don’t drop one or it will bruise. Years ago we only got oranges at Christmas. As long as possible, I’ll eat one everyday! ***

In the afternoon of May 27, 1987, DIE ANNA VON BANNWILL returned from the post office having sent us her poem GELD. As she sat at her kitchen table, she noticed two large navel oranges in the fruit dish. “Just like that” she had to reach for a piece of paper and “just like that” ARRENSCHE was written.

Long Awarded “Lion Of The Year”

Each year the East Cocalico Lions Club honors one of their members with a “Lion of the Year” award. This award is given to a Lion who in the past Lionistic year has been very active in the club, has displayed and believed in the values of Lionism, has provided service to the community and to the club, has shown commitment to the club’s and the association’s motto of “We Serve,” and most of all, promoted the Lion Spirit and the ideals of Lionism. This award is extra special because the recipient is selected and voted on by the members of the club.

Recently, the Lions of East Cocalico presented this prestigious award to Lion Forrest “Woody” Long. Since joining the East Cocalico Lions in 2016, Lion Woody is at almost all events and fundraisers. Not only is Lion Long active with his club, but he also volunteers with many other organizations that “Serve” their community. In fact, besides “roaring” like a Lion, at times you might hear him “bark” like a dog, since he is also Ephrata’s Police Department’s “McGruff the Crime Dog.”

The members of the East Cocalico Lions, who have

been “Lighting the Way” in their community for more than 80 years, would like to thank Lion Woody for exhibiting the values of Lionism and for providing valuable service to the community and to the club.

Lion Long is pictured in the photo holding his Lion of the Year Certificate.

Make God Smile

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Psalm 11:7“The Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.”

Contending that we can’t make God smile if we are practicing any of the seven sins from God’s most hated list, it is time to see how we can in fact, make God’s countenance dwell on us or make God smile. God loves righteousness in our life for a lot of reasons, but especially because we aren’t forced to be righteous. We must choose it against much opposition, I might add! It really boils down to the choices we make daily, moment by moment. Do we want to live in God’s favor or not? It’s always in your best interest to obey. Deut. 11:2628 says it this way: “I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I

command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.”

We have free will, and therefore, we have choices. Obedience is the best form of worship we can offer. Remember what Samuel said to Saul, “To obey is better than sacrifice.” In fact, obedience is required to worship the Lord. In Ezekiel it says (because of Israel’s sin), “I will not be inquired of you.” In other words, don’t come to me for answers or guidance when you willfully live in idolatry. Psalm 96:9 says, “Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.” 1st Peter 1:16 says, “Because it is written, Be ye holy for I am holy.” Those who think they please God without fleshing out an increasingly upright life, are just fooling themselves. Obedience makes God smile.

One verse that amazes me is 2nd Chronicles 16:9, which states, “The eyes

of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” God surveys all of mankind, looking for the few who have a loyal heart. When He finds these believers, He shows Himself strong on their behalf. What can I do to bless these people? Answer their prayers, give over and above what they ‘can ask or think,’ give them victory over the enemy, fulfill My promises... and the list of blessings goes on. I think of Caleb, who along with Joshua, brought back a favorable report from spying out the promised land to trust God’s promise, and conquer the land, while the other 10 spies brought back a discouraging report of fear and doubt. These two were the only ones of that generation that went into the promised land. What did God say about Caleb?

“Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God” (Josh. 14:8). To make God smile, we must wholly follow

Him. Don’t let fear, doubt and disobedience turn His face from you. Remember the command, “do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption” (Eph. 4:30). It amazes me that we can cause God to grieve over our life, and that He makes Himself vulnerable to that. Do we want God to groan or smile over our life? It’s your choice.

Hebrews give us four ways to make God smile. Hebrews 13:1516 “Therefore by Him, let us continually offer the sacriﬁce of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name, But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well leased.” Just a couple of quick observances from the beginning of the verse. It is only by Him that we can do anything that pleases God. “I am the vine you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him. He it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

Next week, we will continue our study “Make God Smile.”

Galen H. Hoover

Galen H. Hoover, 74, of Denver, Pennsylvania, passed away on Saturday, July 5th, at the Delaware Valley Veterans’ Home.

Galen was born on August 4th, 1950, to the late Charles Henry and Margaret E. Hulstine Hoover in Harrisburg. He grew up in Royalton, where, by his own fond recollection, he spent many joyous summers swimming and ﬁshing in the Swatara with his brothers.

Just after graduating from high school in 1968, Galen enlisted in the United States Navy, serving ﬁrst as an engineman aboard the USS Escape, and later as a military advisor to the riverine forces of allied South Vietnam.

Purple Heart, and several other commendations. Galen went on to keep a lifelong connection to Veterans’ communities, serving as VFW Commander in both Ephrata and Reinholds, PA.

Hazel M. Parks, 77, of Ephrata, passed away on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at WellSpan York Hospital.

After returning home, Galen spent two decades as a long-haul truck driver before turning his lifelong love of building into a second career, founding a home remodeling business. He was never happier than when he had a tool or ﬁshing rod in his hand and someone he loved beside him, patiently teaching his daughter and grandchildren how to build, repair, and ﬁsh.

In addition to his parents, Galen was preceded in death by his brothers Richard, Charles, and Kenneth. He is survived by his beloved wife, Pamela “Jonni” Hoover; his three daughters, Shannon Hoover, Emily deVitry (Audrie), and Jessica Ouazri (Redouane); his four brothers, Dale, Donald (Jane), Dennis (Sue), and Terry; six grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews who will remember “Ugly Uncle Galen” with love and gratitude.

She was born in Altoona, daughter of the late Chester and Anna (Gunsallus) Stonebraker and was the wife of the late Fred Parks who died in 2013.

Hazel enjoyed crocheting and especially loved making blankets.

Hazel worked as a USDA Grader.

During his service, he was credited with saving fourteen lives at great risk to his own when his armored troop carrier was mined and sunk.

For his heroism, he was awarded the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal Combat “V,” a

A generous and protective soul, Galen gave freely of his time, knowledge, and care. He was especially devoted to the well-being of children, animals, and the elderly, and found purpose in his later years through his involvement with Project Healing Waters, a nonprofit supporting disabled veterans through fly fishing. In difficult moments, he wrote poetry. In joyful ones, he cast lines into the

To those who knew him, Galen was a builder not only of homes but of people; passionate, strong, and always willing to lend a hand. He will be deeply missed.

Interment with Military honors will be in Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetery on August 4 at 12:30pm.

REAL ESTATE

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 76-year-old male in good health. I go to the gym three days a week, eat well, and fast one day a week. I have been reading about taking a tablespoon of olive oil at night as a remedy for all kinds of things such as digestion issues and arthritis. I tried it, and I swear that the first day after ingesting it, I felt less pain in the arthritis in my hands and feet. Is there any evidence that this practice is helpful? Also, does it matter what kind or brand of olive oil one uses? I bought special olive oil that is polyphenol-rich; it is lighter and more tasty than the extra-virgin oil I normally buy at the food market. What’s your take on this? -- L.A.

ANSWER: Although I don’t think olive oil is a cure for all ailments, there are certainly health benefits when using olive oil com-

pared to most oils. The flavor and amount of polyphenol (an anti-inflammatory compound found in olive oil) will vary from one brand to another. These anti-inflammatory compounds can help symptoms of arthritis in some people.

Personally, I recommend extra-virgin olive oil (made from the initial squeezing of olives without chemical and heat treatment), which has the highest amount of the nutrients you want. But my advice is to choose based on the flavor you like and how much you want to spend rather than the polyphenol content. And of course, too much of anything, including olive oil, isn’t good for you, but a tablespoon is fine. ***

DEAR DR. ROACH: I came down with a headache, but nothing showed up after a year of tests, including a CT scan, MRIs, and a spinal tap. Then I was told that I had a nummular headache, which I understand is rare. I have a sore spot in the back of my head and a feeling in my head that I just can’t explain. I don’t know how I made it through a year until I got on meds.

I am now taking 25 mg of lamotrigine a day. I’m at the point where I’ll have a

couple good days, then it comes back. Can this be cured? Is the medication that I’m taking OK, or is there something better? -- K.S.

ANSWER: A nummular headache (the name comes from the Latin word for coin as the sore spot is often the size and shape of a coin) is very uncommon, and I’ve never treated a case. I would defer treatment to a neurologist with expertise in headaches.

Gabapentin is a common treatment, but lamotrigine is also used. The best treatment is the one that works best for you. Although sometimes the condition will simply go away, it often doesn’t, requiring chronic medication to keep symptoms under control.

I will note that you are on a tiny dose of lamotrigine. It needs to be started at a small dose, but when used for seizures, the usual dose is 400-600 mg per day (which takes several weeks to reach, titrating slowly). If it’s working for you but not well enough, you might do better with a higher dose.

If a higher dose doesn’t work, there are other

medications to try such as antidepressants like amitriptyline and other seizure medications like carbamazepine. One other option to ask your neurologist about is botulinum toxin (Botox), which relieves pain by more than half in about two-thirds of patients.

***

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a dry cough that’s been going on for about 13-14 years. I’m a healthy 62-yearold and read that it is called “cough variant asthma.” I would like to know more about this but can’t really find anything about it, except that it will eventually get worse if it’s not treated. I was checked twice in the past 15 years for asthma, and I wasn’t diagnosed. However, I’ve not been diagnosed with any acid reflux or postnasal drip. -- D.S.

ANSWER: Although most people think that asthma causes wheezing, cough is a very common symptom of asthma. You’ve named the two other most common causes of chronic cough: acid reflux and postnasal drip. It can be tricky to make these diagnoses.

Very often, primary care doctors will do a “therapeutic trial” that involves a shortterm prescription to see if there is improvement. For acid reflux, it might be an H2 blocker like famotidine (Pepcid), which acts faster than a proton-pump inhibitor like omeprazole. This is often faster, easier, and much less expensive than a diagnostic test like a 24-hour pH monitor (the goldstandard diagnostic test).

Similarly, a physician might give a trial of asthma medication (such as a bronchodilator like albuterol) to see if it stops the cough, rather than immediately testing a person’s pulmonary function with a trial of bronchodilators -- a standard diagnostic test for asthma. Sometimes a pulmonologist will order a “methacholine challenge test” where an airway irritant is given at very low doses to see if it will trigger an asthma response in the lung. Postnasal drip can sometimes be confirmed by a physical exam, but a fiberoptic laryngoscopy is seldom

necessary to make the diagnosis. When therapeutic trials are not helpful, diagnostic tests become necessary. I personally order lung testing before and after bronchodilators on all patients with suspected asthma, as the tests give important information beyond a diagnosis.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 69-year-old male. I exercise five days per week and eat healthy. I take losartan, simvastatin, Xarelto and metoprolol. I have gotten the COVID and flu shots yearly but still end up catching the flu. What gives?

-- J.L.P.

ANSWER: I wish the flu shot was perfect, but it isn’t. Each year, the flu shot is usually around 30% to 50% effective at protecting people from getting the flu. Still, 50% protection is a lot better

than no protection at all. Furthermore, if you do get the flu, people who have

received the vaccine tend to have milder cases, which is very similar to the COVID vaccines.

The flu is pretty contagious, so if you are in close contact with a lot of different people, you are likely to get exposed. You can reduce your risk of the flu (and COVID) by keeping away from large groups or wearing a mask, in addition

to getting your yearly vaccine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 76-year-old female who weighs 112 pounds. I am 5 feet, 4 inches tall, and in good health. I walk 40 minutes to 1 hour over a very hilly course five days a week and do strength training two days a week. I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis, with my risk of a major osteoporosis fracture being 12.6% and my risk of a hip fracture being 3.8%, according to FRAX.

By Wilson Casey

ANSWER: The FRAX score is a way of combining a person’s measured bone density with clinical risk factors like age, sex and weight to provide an estimate of the fracture risk. Most authorities recommend treatment when the risk of a major osteoporotic fracture is greater than 20% or the risk of a hip fracture is greater than 3%. Your primary doctor is following the published literature. (I will note that a revised calculator called the FRAXplus includes additional risk factors and can

708-7311 EXT.

Omeprazole, the medicine you take for Barrett’s, protects your esophagus but can cause poor absorption of calcium, which may be an additional risk factor for you. Because of your Barrett’s, the normal firstline treatments (oral bisphosphonates) are not recommended. Instead, intravenous bisphosphonates such as zoledronic acid once a year are the standard recommendation.

Denosumab is another option, but people need to stay on this medication long-term because, unlike bisphosphonates, bone loss occurs rapidly after stopping it.
