Manheim Township

IWith Olympic Trials taste, vaulter Sydney Horn wants to raise the bar
t was an enlightening experience. It was a special experience. It was a growing experience.
But it wasn’t a once-in-a-lifetime experience. At least, Sydney Horn is hoping that it wasn’t.
A 2020 graduate of Manheim Township High School and a collegiate pole vaulter at High Point University in North Carolina,
“I took in the whole experience, and I was grateful to be there.”
Horn did not qualify for the United States Olympic Team currently competing in Paris. But she gave it her all at the Olympic Track and Field Trials at the University of Oregon in Eugene, and she came away with an experience that can only positively shape her future.
“I thought I did all right, but it could’ve been better,” said Horn. “I took in the whole experience, and I was grateful to be there. (Eugene) is always cool; it’s a track town. It was awesome being there and being surrounded by all the people there. The atmosphere was amazing. Everyone there wanted to see track, and it was cool to be surrounded by that many amazing athletes.”
The trials took place on June 28. Going up against the top 24 female pole vaulters in the country, Horn finished in a tie for 17th place by clearing 13-9.25.
Her personal best in the event is 14-10.
“I would say (the Olympic trials are) definitely up there,” said Horn of her athletic experiences to date. “The goal was just to make it to the finals, have fun and enjoy the experience. Making the Olympic team wasn’t realistic. Meeting all the people along the
way was great. You always want more. You’re never going to be happy with your performance.”
After clearing 13-9.25 on her first try, Horn could not clear 14-3.25 in three attempts and failed to advance to the finals. From the 13 in the finals, three competitors earned the privilege
of representing the United States of America at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
“It’s a little bit of everything,” said Horn of the key to successful pole vaulting. “You lift three times a week, and you run every day. Technique is a lot of it. But if you’re not fast enough to get down

Kids love to discover. Kids love to be independent. Kids love to think.
Kids love Sky Bridge.
The High Foundation Sky Bridge, designed and fabricated by Luckey Climbers, is the Lancaster Science Factory’s latest hands-on exhibit for young learners. It represents the best kind of ingenuity, the kind that inspires others to be creative.
“More than learning, it’s about inspiring children,” said Amanda Bakay, the Lancaster Science Factory’s director of programs and communications. “When they see it and get inside of it, they start to realize they could create something like this one day. It sparks an idea like, ‘What did someone have to do to think this thing up?’”
Part jungle gym, part science project, part gateway to higher learning, Sky Way opened to rave reviews at Lancaster Science Factory, 454 New Holland Ave., Lancaster, in April of 2023. The $600,000 project was fabricated by construction artist and designer Spencer Luckey in his New England shop and then assembled at the Lancaster Science Factory over a threeweek span.
“Sometimes kids like to see how quickly they can get to the top,” said Bakay. “It kind of looks like a giant ant farm when it’s filled with children.

Sometimes kids will climb to the highest point and hang out. It’s almost like a cool clubhouse.”
When visitors to Lancaster Science Factory round the corner from the main entrance, they are confronted with Sky Bridge, which is attached to beams on the high ceiling of the former manufacturing plant. But the massive structure does not make contact with the ground.
panels strategically spaced throughout the structure. Sky Bridge both stands out and fits right in with the Lancaster Science Factory’s 75 other exhibits.
“Everything we do is very hands-on and interactive,” said Bakay. “Everything we have requires you to do something and try something in a different way. Sky Bridge is like our other exhibits because it’s immersive, but there’s no beginning, middle or end. We also really don’t have anything else you can get inside and climb on.”

“We’ve always wanted to use our horizontal space, to have a bridge span over our main exhibit hall,” said Bakay. “It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before, just because you can climb in it. It’s so accessible, and having a bird’s-eye view of the exhibit hall is so cool.”

Giant offers back-to-school lunch ideas
The Giant Company’s team of dietitians shared five solutions to help families simplify food preparation for back-to-school lunches.
First, parents should get their children involved. Have children make a list of their favorite foods from each food group - starch, protein, vegetable, fruit, and dairy - and get them excited by bringing them to the store to shop for their favorites. Together, parents and children can build a balanced lunch, making sure children have one item from each of the five food groups. Ideas for a balanced lunchbox include English muffins, sliced ham, carrots, strawberries, a cheese stick, wheat crackers, hummus, sugar snap peas, clementines and nonfat Greek yogurt.
Second, lunches should contain protein. Protein helps keep stomachs full and minds focused. When thinking about breakfast, lunch and snacks, include quick and easy foods like lunch meat, cheese, nut butters, Greek yogurt or hard-boiled eggs. The third tip is to get colorful. Colorful fruits and vegetables provide a variety of nutrients. Entice kids with daily color challenges
to encourage produce variety. For example, Monday’s lunch can focus on red foods, Tuesday’s meal can feature orange foods, and so on.
Fourth, parents should stock convenience items. Be prepared with pre-sliced apple packs, granola bars, applesauce pouches and trail mixes available for graband-go after-school snacks, and load up on frozen waffles and pancakes, fruit cups, oatmeal pouches and drinkable yogurts for easy breakfasts.
The fifth tip is to make dinner easy. Balanced dinners do not have to be elaborate. Keep it simple on busy weeknights with tried-andtrue winners like breakfast for dinner or sandwiches with no-cook sides.
Giant’s dietitians also offer easy meal and snack ideas and recipes, simplified with five or fewer ingredients, at www.giantfood stores.com/pages/back-to -school-dietitian-picks.
To check out the latest schedule of Giant’s free, virtual dietitian classes, which include making dinner in under 30 minutes, creating produce-packed snacks and learning about simple lunchbox ideas, visit www.giantfoodstores.com/ wellness.
Partly through the funding of a $1 million capital campaign, the Lancaster Science Factory, which boasts 17,000 square feet of exhibit space, opened in 2008.
“Our mission is to inspire creativity in children through science, technol -
ogy, engineering and math (STEM) programs and keep them accessible to everyone in the community,” said Bakay. “We want the facility to stay open to everyone in our community. We’ve really grown from this small science factory to a regional destination.”

Program to focus on Wheatland grounds
LancasterHistory will host “Discovering a Gentleman’s Farm: A History of the Wheatland Grounds” on Saturday, Aug. 10, at 10 a.m. The program will explore the history and functionality of the grounds where James Buchanan, the 15th president of the United States, lived as a gentleman farmer from 1848 to 1868.
Museum associate Stephanie Celiberti will lead the event, beginning with a 40-minute presentation in Ryder Hall. The presentation will provide an in-depth look at how the 22.5 acres of meadows, orchards, gardens, and green spaces of Wheat -
land were utilized during Buchanan’s residence at the property. Following the presentation, attendees may ask questions and participate in an optional outdoor tour of the Wheatland grounds to see the areas discussed in the presentation.
To purchase tickets, visit www.lancaster history.org or call 717392-4633. Tickets may not be available at the door, so advance registration is encouraged. The event is free of charge for LancasterHistory members and Friends of the Tanger Arboretum members, but they are encouraged to register in advance.

the runway and not strong enough, you’re not going to be able to pole vault very well.”
With a background in gymnastics, Horn began pole vaulting in her freshman year at Manheim Township. By the time she graduated, Horn was clearing 13-6 before progressing to 13-10 in her freshman season at High Point.
Now, Horn’s new goal is a return trip to the Olympic
Trials in 2028. She has a year of collegiate eligibility left at High Point; then she will be on her own.
“I’m going to stick with it, train and see how it goes,” said Horn, 21. “I feel like I need to stick with it and make sure I give it my all.
When you’re surrounded by amazing athletes, it’s like, ‘I can do this too.’”
“It’s such a big deal,” she added. “I got a little taste of it. This year was about
getting experience. (At the Olympic Games), I couldn’t imagine what it would be like.”

Donations to support youth mentoring programs
The Touchstone Foundation recently awarded Youth Mentorship Partnership funds. This new program supports training to allow staff members and volunteers to become mentors for youth mental wellness in Lancaster County. The Touchstone Foundation has awarded a total of $47,000 to Bench Mark Program, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region, and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lancaster County.
Bench Mark Program is a strength-based family of mentors supporting highly at-risk youths through com-
munity-based intervention and diversion initiatives.
Using the funds from the Touchstone Foundation, the program will seek to enhance the effectiveness of mentoring services available to at-risk youths within Bench Mark Program’s open gym, where both individual and group services are available. An estimated 47 youths will receive mentoring.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region’s evidence-based program creates and supports oneto-one mentoring relationships. The new funds will support the organization’s High School Bigs Program
