Central York High School senior Caden McKinney and his dad, Mark McKinney, both enjoyed classes they have taken at the Horn Farm Center for Agricultural Education, 4945 Horn Road, York. So when it came time for Caden to think of something to do for his Eagle Scout Project, they decided that asking the staff members at the Horn Farm for suggestions seemed like a good idea - and it was.

In 2009, Ben Dannels of Troop 49 constructed an observation deck overlooking the Horn Farm as his Eagle Scout Project. Horn Farm staff members suggested that perhaps Caden could convert the observation deck into an outdoor classroom.

Caden designed the project and raised funds to pay for the materials needed. His primary method of fundraising was directly soliciting donations from friends and family. He began work in October 2019, first ripping off the old railings and power washing the old deck. With assistance from his dad, Caden built supports on the side of the deck as well as a metal roof. He built three benches inside the structure, which has capacity for 15 people.

One minor hiccup arose when it turned out that the roof did not quite cover the benches as hoped, so Caden decided to add roof extensions to ensure the benches were sheltered from rain. “The whole intent is to have it as a place for classes to go for shelter from the weather,” explained Mark.

FIA has been at work among the Rama Cay people of Nicaragua since 2004, when village leaders invited volunteers to help with community rebuilding efforts. The greatest concentration of Rama is a group of 1,400 people who reside on a povertystricken island almost forgotten by the mainland. The World Health Organization reports that malnutrition is increasing each year for Rama children. They face widespread malnutrition, inadequate water and sewage systems, and sporadic public health measures.

One of the Rama Cay Villagers whose life has been touched by FIA is Pete. Pete used to live in a 10-by-10-foot thatched-roof hut with his common-law wife, four children, and many extended family members. His days alternated between binge drinking and trying to fish and subsistence farm his small plot of depleted soil. When FIA workers invited Pete to learn trade skills, he jumped at the opportunity.

For the past eight years, Pete has worked alongside FIA’s volunteer teams to dig wells, install boat docks, construct a pedestrian bridge, and clear land for a community playground and laundry/shower house. The masonry, carpentry, and construction skills Pete learned eventually enabled him to make his own clay bricks and build a new house for his family to move to the mainland. Pete also began attending ongoing Bible classes led by FIA volunteers.

Pete’s story is just one example of the thousands of lives impacted through the efforts of FIA. In 2019, more than 70 workers from Pennsylvania traveled with FIA to impact more than 250,000 destitute people in six remote locations around the globe.

The trailer for the film “LIKE - A Documentary About the Impact of Social Media on Our Lives and the Effects of Technology on the Brain” ends with the daunting question, “Are you using technology or is it using you?”

Girls on the Run (GOTR) of Lancaster-Lebanon hopes to start a conversation around that question when the organization presents the film on Friday, Jan. 31, at the Ware Center, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster.

The event is free to members of the public age 10 and up. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and the film will be shown at 7 p.m.

Sarah Yohe, development director with GOTR, said that the subject of the film is especially pertinent. “We know that technology is a really relevant topic for our girls and our entire community,” said Yohe.

“This documentary really digs into the addiction piece of technology. It talks about how we spend a lot of time connected and feeling more disconnected than ever.”

GOTR programs combine running with an interactive curriculum designed to promote good choices for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Yohe noted that the face-to-face time is important in the current cultural environment. “We get our girls together twice a week for 10 weeks to make real live personal connections,” she said. The curriculum teaches life skills and strategies to help build confidence and character. A 2016 study found that a majority of the girls who completed the program learned to resolve conflict, help others, and manage emotions.

To enhance the discussion, the screening will be followed by a panel discussion and the opportunity for the audience to ask questions. The panel will consist of a child psychologist, a Millersville University communications major, a technology expert, a local pediatrician, and a local school administrator. GOTR board members

Katie Sandoe and Robin Sarrat will serve as moderators.

The presentation will not end with the panel discussion, however. GOTR has partnered with the Lancaster County Community Foundation on the event, and May Renner of the foundation will close the evening with a visioning exercise.

The film trailer features a number of people, many of them young women, talking about their connection to technology. One admits to having an unhealthy relationship with her phone, while another states that her parents say she is addicted to her phone. Evidence that technology usage affects the same parts of the brain that respond when a person falls in love is presented.

“The documentary discusses how much of our time we spend connected to a device,” said Yohe, who noted that calls to action for audience members will be part of the discussion.

“We would like them to walk away continuing the conversation,” said Yohe, who added that presenters will suggest that those who viewed the film work to limit screen time and pay attention to ways that they disconnect from technology.

“We will give them tips on how to scale back technology usage, and we will ask them to start using technology for good (reasons and purposes),” said Yohe. Advice may include turning off notifications or changing a screen to grayscale.

There is no charge to attend the event, but those who would like to see the film are asked to register by visiting www.event brite.com and searching for “LIKE” in Lancaster.

The 2019-2020 high school basketball season as a whole has been good to the Eastern York girls’ team but the 2020 portion of their schedule has been exceptionally good. The Lady Golden Knights have claimed victory in seven of their eight games played in 2020, including five straight after wins over Bermudian Springs and

Northeastern. Add it all up and Eastern sports a tidy 12-3 overall mark, good enough for third in the most recent District 3-4A rankings, while their 5-2 YAIAA Division II record has them a half game back of second place Gettysburg and a game back of first place West York.

Win number four of the current run came on January 9th where Eastern topped Bermudian Springs

57-41 despite the Lady Eagles holding a 15-11 lead after the opening quarter. Eastern York turned to Breana Grim and Addy Malone for the comeback with the pair scoring 32 of their 41 combined points after the sluggish start.

Grim, who finished with a game high 22, drilled two of her five long range bombs in the second frame while Malone picked up four of her 19 points, helping to flip the fourpoint deficit to a four point, 24-20, lead at intermission. The pair combined for 15 of Eastern York’s 21 third quarter points, stretching

the lead to 12-points at 45-33 with just eight minutes remaining. Eastern and the Grim/Malone combo were able to ease up in the final frame with Grim picking up her final five points and Malone her final two while helping the Lady Golden Knights post a 12-8 edge for the 57-41 final.

With Grim and Malone handling the bulk of scoring, the remaining Lady Golden Knights combined for just 16 points led by Lily Campbell and Victoria Zerbe who finished with six points apiece. Mara Weaver (three points) and Abigail Henise (one point)

cleaned up the remaining scoring.

One night later the winning streak reached five games with a 73-52 dismantling of Northeastern.

Eastern York outscored the Lady Bobcats in three of the four quarters starting with a Mara Weaver powered opening frame. The junior guard netted 10 of her 16 points during Eastern’s 20-15 first quarter run before cooling off. Grim took over in the second frame, leading a 23-12 charge with an eight-point outburst that gave Eastern a 43-27 cushion at halftime.

A 15-15 draw in the third kept the lead at 16 points but Eastern York regained their first half control in the final stanza to post a 15-10 edge for the 73-52 final. Grim picked up another nine in the frame to finish with a team high 19 while Malone checked in with 16 points.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL The one step forward, one step back theme for the boys’ basketball team continued with a loss to Lampeter-Strasburg on January 9th and a win over Susquehannock on January 13th. That puts the Golden Knights at 7-6 overall and 3-3 in YAIAA Division II action.

Despite the 74-63 final, Eastern York opened their January 9th title opposite Lampeter-Strasburg with a 19-10 first quarter advantage. The Pioneers put the defensive clamps on from there, holding the Golden Knights to just 18 points over the second and third quarters, flipping Eastern’s nine-point lead into a 50-37 Staff photo Lampeter-Strasburg cushion as the Addison Malone drives the lane in Eastern’s 56-33, Division II victwo sides lined up for the final eight tory over Susquehannock last Monday in Wrightsville. minutes.

over Susquehannock, the Golden Knights welcomed a new member to their 1000-point club during the win. Seitz drained four from behind the arch on his way to a game high 29 points which vaulted him over the 1000-point barrier and into program history. The Seitz fueled offense outscored the Warriors in all but the third quarter where the home team posted a slim 13-10 edge. That shrank Eastern’s 31-26 halftime cushion down to just two points at 41-39. The Golden Knights snapped out of their third quarter funk with a 22-12 burst in the fourth to secure the 12-point win.

WRESTLING Thanks to Mother Nature, the Eastern York wrestling team enjoyed a lite mid-season week with just one dual match on the schedule. The Golden Knights slipped by Northeastern 3932 to improve to 7-6 overall with a 41 mark in traditional dual matches. It also counts as Eastern’s second league win, putting the Golden Knights at 21 in YAIAA Division II play.

Eastern York claimed exactly half of the 14 weight classes against the Bobcats starting with Kaleb Crean’s pinfall win to kick things off. Crean needed nearly all of his six minutes opposite Ethan Small but he was finally able to pick up the pin at the 5:25 mark of the 160-pound bout. A Northeastern decision at 170 kept Eastern on top by a slim 6-3 margin.

That changed with a four-match run starting at 182, where Isaac Buser pinned Tyler Schmerge for a 12-3 lead. Magnus Krissinger (195) and Austin Baker (220) followed with two of Eastern York’s three forfeit wins, stretching the lead to 24-3. Nate Dandridge finished the run by collecting Eastern York’s final pinfall win, making it 30-3 by taking out Jacob Kensinger just 54 seconds into their 285-pound tangle.

The Bobcats went on their own run, winning six straight bouts including five bonus points wins. That flipped Eastern York’s comfortable 30-3 lead into a stomach tightening 32-30 Northeastern lead with just two See Eastern pg 6

Jim Schopf (left), co-owner of Field of Screams, presented a donation check to Steve Lescher (center), former president of the Central Pennsylvania McDonalds Co-op and vice president of the Susquehanna McDonalds Co-op, and Scott Kavlick, current president of the Susquehanna McDonalds Co-op.

Field of Screams presented a check in the amount of $15,020 to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) on Dec. 12, 2019. Of the donation, $11,520 will go directly to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Pennsylvania and $3,500 will go directly to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northeastern PA. Field of Screams works with a number of charities every year and has been partnering with Ronald McDonald House Charities since 2009. Since this time, Field of Screams has donated $115,540 to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The mission of RMHC is to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the

health and well-being of children and their families. Programs include the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey, the Ronald McDonald Family Room and Hospitality Cart at Penn State Children’s Hospital, and the Ronald McDonald Hospitality Kiosk at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health. The programs are offered at no cost to the families, and RMHC relies on the generosity of the community to be able to keep its services free for families that need them. As the cost to keep a family together for one night at the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey is approximately $100, the Field of Screams donation to RMHC of Central Pennsylvania represents more than 110 family overnight stays.
