LCCTC Students Construct Pole Barn S tudents from the Mount Joy
campus of the Lancaster County Career & Technology Center (LCCTC) recently had an opportunity to take part in a hands-on learning project by constructing a storage pole barn for Donegal Youth Soccer. About 15 students in the Introduction to Construction Careers program, wearing blue safety helmets and masks, constructed the large storage shed in an area located adjacent to the soccer field in Cove Outlook Park on Old Market Street. The project was meant to be done in the spring, but the pandemic shutdown hit before construction could begin. The students were supervised by their instructor, Aaron Adams. “The students in this class are here to learn the basic skills of a variety of construction careers. So a project like this one with a variety of necessary skills is absolutely perfect for them,” Adams said, noting that the location
of the site, which is situated across the street from the Mount Joy campus, was also ideal for the students. The LCCTC occasionally works with local groups to provide labor for construction and improvement projects. “The students get on-site work experience, and we are able to save some local organizations some expenses,” Adams said. Adams explained to the students how to install structural timbers, and the students were responsible for making measurements, sawing boards to length and screwing the struts in place. Gage Watt, an LCCTC junior from Manheim Central High School, made a straight chalk line to mark positions for the coming cut lumber. He said that he was hoping to become a local construction worker after high school. “I came to the (LCCTC) for the hands-on learning and here we are,” Gage said, holding up a construction tape measure.

Beautiful weather typically coincides with an increase of bicyclists on the roads. For some riders, cycling is a form of transportation. For others, it is a mode of relaxation and recreation. For everyone, however, safety is paramount. Lancaster Bicycle Club safety director John Mullineaux listed two overarching principles for safe riding: wear a helmet and behave like a vehicle.
