Manheim Wrestling Team Raises Money For Food Pantry By Francine Fulton

Recognizing the fact that area food pantries are especially in need of support at this time, the wrestling team from Manheim Central High School recently held a fundraiser that netted $6,400 for the Manheim Central Food Pantry. Head coach Billy Chamberlain presented the donation to pantry volunteer Nancy Auker on April 30. The wrestling team held a one-week “flash raise” in April, with all of the proceeds going to the pantry. “The (wrestling) program was going to match all donations, dollar for dollar, up to $1,000,” explained Chamberlain. “In just one week we raised over $5,000, (which resulted in more than) $6,000

FIA Offers Opportunity To Support Relief Efforts While many local residents may be feeling the effects of staying home due to COVID-19 restrictions, Friends in Action (FIA), a nonprofit headquartered in Middletown, is offering an opportunity to have a global impact.

Since 1992, FIA has used infrastructure projects as a platform to share the Gospel with unreached people groups in extremely remote areas. On April 6, Cyclone Harold, a Category 5 cyclone and the second-largest storm in Vanuatu’s history, almost leveled the South Pacific island country.

Bryanna Still has always loved music. “I began my interest in music at a really young age,” said Bryanna. “I grew up listening to soulful old rhythm and blues and a lot of ’70s and ’80s music. Having that start really inspired me to be passionate about music.” In the fall, the Dayspring Christian Academy senior will head to Edinboro University in northern Pennsylvania to begin a double major in art and music therapy, an ambitious eight-year program that will earn her a doctorate in those subject areas. Bryanna’s journey to this point has not been likely, but her talents, love of art and music, and determination to succeed have helped her discover her potential and have influenced others, such as Diana Vuolo, founder/executive director of SWAN (Scaling Walls A Note at a Time), to take notice. SWAN is an after-school See SWAN pg 2

Bryanna Still of Lancaster, a senior at Dayspring Christian Academy, plans to use her musical and artistic talents to help others as she matriculates at Edinboro University in the fall with the goal of becoming an art and music therapist.
