THE PEDDLERS

Today one rarely sees a peddler. They’ve gone like the water pail. First they drove on spring wagons. They were handy for country folk. ­ If you heard someone holler: “Rags, iron and rubbers!” You’d quit work and take note. It’s the old peddler loaded with things. Perhaps you can make a bargain. - He watered his horse at the water trough, satisfies his thirst, washed down his oats. We see him often during warm weather; his wagon is a little store on wheels. ­ Most of his wares are for the housewife ­ almost anything you can think about. Thimble, needle, thread ­ all for sewing. He saves Mom time from going to the store. ­ There were others who drive Model T’s. Do you recall them in bygone years? They sold for man and beast: Liniment and salve in a tin can. ­ If you have a cough or sore throat, he has the syrup ­ you gargle with salt. Or if you are bound and need a laxative; for any complaint he has the best cure. ­ I still see the Tea Man in my memories, Charlie Waffle was his name. To show all his wares was no bother. If he lacked anything, he ordered it. ­ For everything Charlie sold he gave coupons. For nice things no need to shop in town. Toys and little rocking chairs we got from him. A fruit picture from him still hangs in my kitchen. ­ I was also reminded of the tramp. To earn his meal he worked what he could. Once my parents cared for one with sore feet. He chopped a big pile of wood for his board. ­ In his youth he was a respectable man. He lost wife and children, works now and then. His flower stand stands on my porch in a row. The kaiser’s fact he drew on an egg.Now I’ve told you about our peddlers. If you had none, you missed something. The Good Book says: “Take strangers in, you could entertain angels unawares.” ***

Guide to the 2023 Leaf Collection Program

* All pickups start on Mondays and will continue through Friday. Leaves also can be taken to the Borough Lot Composting Facility during regularly scheduled hours.

* Residents are asked to rake their leaves to the curb. It is important that leaves are free of sticks, rocks, stumps, etc. to prevent damage to the leaf vacuum equipment.

* Avoid placing leaves within 15 feet of a vehicle. Also, do not park on leaves as this may start a fire.

* Avoid placing leaves within 10 feet of a storm water catch basin. Keep inlet grates clear of leaves.

Please note, the Borough requests that residents remain aware of the impacts that leaves can have on the Borough’s stormwater management system, waterways, and the Chesapeake Bay. Please refrain from piling leaves in the gutter prior to a scheduled rain event.

In addition to their poetic value, such poems constitute an important contribution to local history, for we learn of important personages on the land and their interaction with the farming population.

Again we raise unser Deitscher Schtrohhut ­ just about ready for those summer breezes ­ in salute to Anna vun Bannwill, currently our most productive Dutch poet. ***

A concluding note: As of this week, we have written over 303 weekly columns for The Shopping News. Due to the catastrophic fire of last February, we missed a few issues. This month, our 300th Eck will appear in our beloved Shopping News!

* On October 2, 1614, Louis XIII of France was declared an adult. His mother, Marie de’ Medici, continued to act as his Regent, however, as she had begun upon the assassination of his father, King Henry IV of France, in 1610, until Louis turned 16.

* On October 3, 1967, singer/musician/activist Woody Guthrie, lauded by Bob Dylan as “the true voice of the American spirit,” died from complications of Huntington’s

disease at age 55. His music focused primarily on American socialism and anti-fascism, influencing numerous other artists ranging from Johnny Cash to Jerry Garcia.

* On October 4, 2006, the widows of two war veterans brought a lawsuit against the United States government for the right to include Wiccan religious symbols on graves in military cemeteries. While the religion is recognized by the military, its followers were not permitted to display a Wiccan pentacle on such markers until the following year.

* On October 5, 1999, torrential rains caused flooding and mudslides that

* On October 6, 1945, tavern owner William Sianis bought a seat for himself and his pet goat, Murphy, for Game 4 of the World Series, featuring the Chicago Cubs vs. the Detroit Tigers.

A consignment store is a type of resale shop that displays goods for a percentage of the sale price. In this retail model, people bring in items and get paid a certain amount after the merchandise sells. Consignment shops can sell clothing, home goods, art, furniture, and even books. However, apparel is the most popular category.

Where Does the Term “Consignment” Come From?

The word consign has evolved in meaning over the years, but it generally means

Resale ResourceGREAT BUYS!!!

to give something over and into the care of another person. There is some debate on exactly where the word originated; it could be derived from the French word consigner or the Latin consignare, which means to mark with a seal.

Both derivatives reflect what happens when gentlyused clothing is consigned. A person will give an item to a third party to sell for them. Each store (or consignee) has their own set of procedures, but typically a store will hold the clothing for a pre­arranged number of

days and give the owner of the item (or consignor) a percentage of the sale.

While this type of operation is known mostly for resale, consignment also allows for any retail space to have inventory without taking on a great financial burden. This

practice is also used in instances of smaller boutiques where vendors can sell their items on consignment.

Sustainable Shopping Research shows that consumers with strong environmental beliefs can

struggle with the cost of shopping sustainably. However, online consignment stores such as Poshmark and ThredUp are growing, while fast fashion retail stores have shown a decline in sales.

Consignment stores have proven to be a viable means of sustainable shopping. With the continued growth of used clothing stores, this appears to be a business model with staying power.

Consignment Stores vs. Thrift Stores

Though a type of secondhand store, consignment stores aren’t the same as thrift stores. Thrift stores are donation­based, whereas consignment stores pay the owner for the items it sells.

There is also a difference in ownership of the item. In thrift stores, the owner gives up rights to the items—but

when consigning, ownership of an article of clothing remains with the consignor. The consignee or store is simply offering up space or a platform from which to sell. Also, thrift stores are most often non-profit ventures. Goodwill and the Salvation Army are some of the most popular examples of this.

Consignment stores, on the other hand, are nearly always for profit. Consigning clothing allows the consignor the convenience of earning money while still keeping their unwanted apparel out of the landfill. Consignees are able to only pay for items they sell and keep an inventory of products with little overhead for the goods themselves.

Consigning has the advantage of being a sustainable option while helping consignors earn extra cash.

Q. Why is resale gaining such popularity?

There are numerous reasons for the increased popularity of resale. One is the increased awareness by the public of recycling. People would rather consign, sell or donate their unwanted or unneeded items than just add to the waste stream. Consignors, donors and sellers make money by selling under loved items at our shops, without the expense, work, and bother of a tag or garage sale. By having a resale expert price and market their goods, sellers realize more income than if they attempted to do this themselves.

Eco­aware consumers would also rather purchase recycled articles in order to minimize their impact on our limited resources. Of course, one of the foremost reasons for increased

popularity of resale is very simple…People love a bargain! Today’s consumer is more economical and would rather buy clothing, accessories and furniture for a third to fourth of the original price, leaving money for other things in life such as vacations, education, investments and hobbies. The public is also keenly aware that resale shopping means more quality for less money.

Since resale has evolved from the image of dark, musty junk stores, consumers today find clean, attractive and well displayed stores that offer value and selection without the new­price markup.

Q. What should a consumer look for when shopping resale?

Look for quality of workmanship and materials. A quality item might

Ephrata Library Programs

cost more at resale than an inferior item does new, but the workmanship, style, and value of any well­made item, from a sofa to a designer outfit, provides more value at resale.

Know the retail prices of items you are shopping for to appreciate how much money you will save by shopping resale.

Explore a variety of resale shops to find several that will become your favorites. Each shop is unique, and so is their merchandise.

Get to know the staff, sign their mailing list to receive sale notices, customer only premiums, and valuable information sent out in their flyers or newsletters.

Check all items carefully and know the store’s return policies before purchasing.

The Ephrata Public Library, located at 550 South Reading Road, Ephrata, has announced their programs for October. Programs are open to the public and free of charge.

Biblical Message

Reaching Real Maturity

by Pastor John Fredericksen

Spiritually speaking, Paul considered Timothy his “son in the faith” (I Tim. 1:2). And, like any parent, he had noble aspirations for his loved one. In the Book

of II Timothy, he is very specific about four things he wants Timothy to become for the Lord.

First, he wanted him to be a good servant of the Lord (1:6). God had given him a temporary spiritual gift that was not to be wasted, but consistently used in the local church, where he would have opportunities and the obligation to use this divine enablement.

Paul also wanted Timothy to become a good soulwinner (1:8). Apparently, there were real dangers in doing so for Timothy, and there was a danger he might shrink away from this essential task. He might

allow the fear of men, and their reactions, to prevent him from sharing the gospel. If Timothy did not grow beyond such a fear, his lack of action would essentially be saying he was “ashamed of the testimony of our Lord.” What a reminder for us today as well!

Next, Paul wanted Timothy to be a good student of the Word (2:15). Specifically, he wanted him to diligently apply himself to the study of the Scriptures so that he would be able to rightly divide the Word.

Finally, Paul wanted Timothy to faithfully hold fast to the distinctive doctrines taught only by the

Apostle Paul (1:13,14), to continue in them without wavering (3:14), and then teach them to faithful men who would stand with him in dispensational truth (2:2). In Paul’s eyes, it would only be as Timothy achieved these four goals that he would be a spirituallymature saint.

In a practical sense, each of us today can gauge our own spiritual maturity by measuring ourselves against these four goals that Paul had for Timothy. If we are consistently using our Godgiven capabilities for the Lord in our local church, then we’ve taken a step toward spiritual maturity. If we are bold and faithful in

giving out the gospel to lost souls, we have taken another step toward maturity in Christ. If we are willing to endure hardship in ministry for Christ, without stopping our service, we have taken yet another step in maturity.

If we are unwavering in our loyalty to the distinctive dispensational truths of God’s Word, as taught exclusively by Paul, we have taken still another important step toward spiritual maturity.

When young children begin to walk, they take one wobbly step at a time. Sometimes they fall down. The important thing in their development toward physical maturity is the

process of getting back up when they fall, undeterred, and continuing to walk on toward greater stability. Dear saint, if you’ve fallen down in one of these four areas of growing in Christ toward spiritual maturity, get back up and start walking again in the right direction. Your Heavenly Father is watching and waiting to be pleased of what you choose to do next.

High School

Haleigh Cline Sophomore

A very active member in Ephrata High School’s extracurriculars, Haleigh Cline is always trying to find ways to be more involved with clubs and activities. The daughter of Sarah and Charles Cline, she currently enjoys being a member of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), the school play and musical, and color guard, as well as the Drama, Debate and Newspaper clubs. She is also active in assisting other students achieve their greatest in academics through peer tutoring.

Despite having such a crowded schedule, Cline still finds time to do the activities that she enjoys most at home. She uses her spare hours to read new books, write her own stories, draw, crochet, attend youth group at her church, and spend time with close friends. Furthermore, you can often find Cline at the local library, both volunteering and searching for fresh reading material. Having accomplished many things, Cline believes that her greatest achievement is winning $500 in a national contest to create a videogame with a focus on equality. On that note, it is not surprising that one thing she is most passionate about changing in the world is the presence of stereotypes in society. She wishes that people could appreciate others for who they are, without judging them based on labels that others place on them.

Cline’s favorite part about school is interacting with other students and staff regularly, however her Biology class comes at a close second. She enjoys learning about living things, hence why she plans to attend college to enter the medical field in the future.

Malea Burkholder

7th Grade

Malea Burkholder is in 7th grade at LAMS. She has a strong personality and is not afraid to make a point, especially when it’s something she believes in! Malea likes that at her school, God is in the center and that LAMS gives a faith-based education. Malea enjoys social studies because she likes history and learning why we should never repeat some things that had a negative effect on the world. She also loves having Mrs. Wall as her social studies teacher! Malea loves to sing and is in middle school drama productions. She also plays girls’ basketball. In her first year of playing basketball (as a 5th grader), Malea earned the “hustle” award. In her second year, she earned the “defensive” player award. In her free time, Malea enjoys playing with her dog and writing songs. Malea feels that her greatest decision in life so far is when she accepted Jesus into her heart. She also hopes to read the whole Bible by 2024. Malea is possibly going to Manheim Central for high school. After she graduates high school, she wants to go to college to become a second grade teacher. Her role model is Mrs Kambic because she encouraged Malea to become a future teacher. Malea goes to Manhiem Brethren in Christ where she sings on the worship team, attends youth group, and helps in the nursery. If she could change something in the world, Malea would make it possible for kids in schools all around the world to get a Bible in their language and have at least one free meal a day. She thinks this would be a good change because then everyone would have the opportunity to learn about Christ, and kids who don’t have enough food would not go hungry.

Minerva was the jewelry department manager for Galen’s of Ephrata for 19 years, she owned her own dress shop called the House of Fashion in Ephrata, and for 10 years she was the manager at Deco Craft House. She was dedicated to the community spending 43 years volunteering for Reamstown Days and assisted in the founding of the former Reamstown Youth Center, now Reamstown Community Center.

Norman Perry Gould, 90, of Greenville, SC, passed away on September 26, 2023. He was born to Helen Perry of Portland, Maine, on April 2, 1933. Norman had a rich and full life, leaving behind a legacy of cherished memories.

At 9 years of age, after his mother’s marriage, Norman was adopted by Frederick Gould, who was then off to war to serve his country overseas. 3 years later, at age 12, Norman moved, by himself, to Fairfield, Maine, having been sent by his mother on a train to his father’s Chief of Police post.

Norman’s educational achievements were impressive, considering he did not learn to read until the 6th grade. He graduated as the Valedictorian from Lawrence High School in 1950. He further pursued his education at Colby College, graduating in 1954 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. From 1955­1959, Norman served as a Cornell Graduate Assistant in the Chemistry Lab in his pursuit of a PhD in Biochemistry.

Throughout Norman’s academic endeavors, he enjoyed the rigors of being a student athlete, as a star basketball player.

In 1959, Norman married Barbara Anne Crispell of Ithaca, New York. As a result of an interview with Merck, he and Barbara moved to North Wales, then Lansdale, Pennsylvania for the tenure of his career.

In his career, Norman

spent 30 years at Merck as a Biochemist in Medicinal Research.

With many patents to his name, his contributions to the field were invaluable, and he made a lasting impact in his profession. In 1993, Norman retired from Merck.

He gave wings to one of his biggest dreams, becoming a pilot. He was a pilot by hobby and flew for the Civil Air Patrol. He enjoyed giving solo flight lessons for the Civil Air Patrol and taking family and friends up for flights, creating many adventurous memories for those aboard.

In his retirement, Norman’s ongoing financial interests led him to gain certification with VITA to assist other seniors with their taxes. He was a well­rounded individual who enjoyed giving of his time and resources for others’ education, enjoyment, and success.

Also, Norman’s retirement relocated Barbara and himself to the town of

Denver, Pennsylvania, a beautiful, quiet area in Lancaster County. Norman drew plans for a house build on a plot beside his daughter, Deborah, and 3 grandchildren. He happily remained established in Lancaster, Pennsylvania until 2020. During Norman’s time in Lancaster, he faithfully attended and served Cocalico Community Church. His service included hosting care group and other gatherings and serving behind the scenes both physically and financially for over 20 years. In 2020, he relocated cities for his last time to finish out his years with his daughter, Karen, in sunny South Carolina.

Norman was an outstanding overcomer, a dedicated provider, caregiver, and hardworking individual. He was known

for his generosity and enjoyed a great sense of humor. Norman had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and was a lifelong learner and researcher.

Norman will be dearly missed by his surviving family members, including his daughters Deborah (Eddie) Brechbill and Karen (Daryl) Kopp, his grandchildren, Derick (Katie) Kopp, Katie (Timothy) Burrows, Kimberly (Caleb) Crow, Carly (Nahshon) Chambers, and Austin (Meghan) Smith, and his great­grandchildren Keziah, Brady, Makenzie, Molly, Arabella, Chelsea, Lucan, Chloe, and Giada. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Barbara Anne Gould, and his sweet grandson, Andrew Smith.

Norman Perry Gould is known as Dad, Uncle

Norm, Grandpa, Great Grandpa, and Big Grandpa by many who love him. To God, he is known as a forgiven sinner, a child of God, who has placed his trust in Christ’s finished work on the cross.

His memory will live on in the hearts of those he indelibly impacted. He will be fondly remembered by the legacy he leaves behind...a legacy of cherished memories filled with dedication, humor, hard work, generosity, and education.

A service to remember and celebrate Norman’s life will be held at Cocalico Community Church on Saturday, October 28, 2023 @ 1:00pm. All are welcome: 1200 W. Swartzville Rd., Reinholds, PA 17569

43rd Annual HinkleFEST

students! Kids activities will begin at 10:00 a.m. and continue until 2:00 p.m. An all-day pass will allow your child to participate in pony rides, barrel trains, the petting zoo, and more!

The canning club, headed up by teacher, Mr. Michael Lichty, is just one of the many projects HMS students are working on in preparation for auction weekend. Marvin Monterroso, one of the eighth graders involved in the canning club, talked about how the club uses fresh vegetables straight from the school garden. “We made raspberry jam, tomato sauce, and salsa,” Marvin said when asked about the club’s auction project. “And we’re hoping to make applesauce as well.”

Besides wonderfully-crafted class projects, canned foods, and delightful ice cream made by the canning club’s counterpart, the middle school Ice Cream Club, Hinkletown’s auction also boasts of vacation packages, cabin rentals, local produce, home and garden items, and even golf certificates! The details of each vacation package, rental and item highlights are available on the school’s HinkleFEST web page.

The HinkleFEST and benefit auction is one of the most significant community events for Hinkletown Mennonite School and supports the mission to provide excellent Christcentered education for nearly 270 students this school year. For more information about the auction and the school at HMS, call the school at 717354-7100.
