The Knights of Columbus Council 6810 will host its annual Free Throw Championship on Sunday, Jan. 29, at St. Philip the Apostle Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster. Boys and girls ages 9 to 14 are invited to participate and demonstrate their free throwing skills.

The Free Throw Championship is one of many community activities coordinated by Council 6810, which

regularly meets at Saint Leo the Great Catholic Church on Marietta Avenue. The council also hosts various fundraisers such as bingo and donates the money raised from the events to nonprofit organizations such as A Woman’s Concern, a group that provides pregnancy and parenting resources for expecting mothers. In addition to supporting charities, the Knights of Columbus group also supports seminarians’ educations. Free Throw Championships are organized by councils

across the country to provide communities with youth enrichment activities.

“The kids love to participate,” said George Elko, director of the Free Throw Championship and member of Council 6810. “Even the kids that don’t score high enough to win get excited and have fun.”

The Knights of Columbus will require participants to complete a registration form at the door, which will include written parental consent and identification to verify the contestant’s age. Documents such as a copy of a birth certificate and a passport will be accepted, and although these items are not required to participate, contestants will not be able to claim any prizes unless they provide identification.

After completing registration, each contestant will shoot five balls in a row in three rounds to determine the winners. In the event of a tie, the contestants with tied scores will shoot an additional five balls in a tie-breaker round. Six winners will be selected from each age and gender category based on how high they score during the competition.

All participants will receive a certificate of participation, but winning players will receive a winner’s certificate as well as a plaque or trophy. Winning contestants will also progress to the district-level competition, where they will have an opportunity to qualify for the regional and state free throw championships. The international free throw champions will be named by the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council based on the contestants’ scores from the state championship after all games have been completed in the spring.

For more information, contact Elko by calling 717-203-6210 or emailing gmelko@comcast.net.

Mulberry Art Studios, 21 N. Mulberry St., Lancaster, invites all animal lovers and artists to share their submissions for its annual “ We Love Our Pets” show. The show will exhibit during the month of May for National Pet Month, and submissions will be accepted until Monday, April 10.

Submissions may be artwork in any medium, such as photography, sculpture, painting or collage, and both professional and amateur artists of any age are encouraged to participate. All artwork is free to

submit, and artists may submit any number of pieces. Mulberry Art Studios will accept five to eight pieces of artwork per adult and three pieces per child.

The only criterion for submissions is that they depict an animal that would reasonably be kept as a pet, meaning that pieces that portray fictional and undomesticated animals will not be accepted. “It doesn’t have to be your pet specifically, but it has to be reasonable,” said Stephanie Kulfan, gallery curator at Mulberry Art Studios. “It’s supposed to be a celebration of our love of animals and their significance in our lives.” See Pet Art Show pg 8

Grace Community Church, 212 Peach Bottom Road, Willow Street, will begin hosting weekly GriefCare sessions beginning on Monday, Feb. 27. Sessions will be held every Monday from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and the program will conclude on Monday, April 17.

See GriefCare pg 3

District Plans Lunch & Learn Events

Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 31, the seven elementary schools in Penn Manor School District will welcome preschool children and their parents or guardians to Lunch & Learn activities each month through May. The May events will take place in the evening, but all others will be held over lunchtime.

The events will include story times, crafts, lunch, and

visits to the school library to check out books, which will be returned the following month. The program is designed to familiarize future students and their parents with the schools so they become comfortable with the setting prior to the students’ first day of school.

Children may attend the program at their home school or any other elementary

school in Penn Manor School District. Siblings are welcome to attend. A parent or guardian must accompany all children.

For more details, including a printable schedule that includes phone numbers for each school, visit www.pennmanor.net and search for Lunch & Learn. Attendees should call their desired location to register and confirm the time.

The GriefCare program will use biblical concepts to help those struggling with significant loss and grief. Methods for expressing and coping with grief will be tied directly to Scripture and faith-based concepts. Each session will include videos that address different topics, which will be followed by group discussion facilitated by a lay person from the church. Participants will receive a workbook that they may take home and use between meetings.

“Each session, we use Scripture to understand grief, loss and the hope available to us,” said Jesse Bills, pastor of discipleship at Grace Community Church. “It’s also a place that community can be built. We share what we’re struggling with, but we also bond with each other and build relationships. It’s ultimately a place to create joy and healing.”

This is the second year of the GriefCare program, which was inspired by GriefShare, a similarly motivated program. Bills and the biblical counseling department at Grace Community Church wanted to offer something that was less intensive than GriefShare, so that those who cannot commit to a 13-week program would still have a place to meet and access resources to deal

with loss. “Thirteen weeks is a big commitment from people; we thought (GriefCare) would be a little less daunting,” said Bills. “It works better with some people’s schedules, as well as our other programs offered through the church.”

Bills feels that programs like GriefCare are more important now than ever. Over the course of the last few years, one of many challenges that people weathered was isolation.

Normal opportunities to grieve such as funerals were unavailable for a duration of time, resulting in a lingering need to process grief and connect with others. “It’s been really detrimental,” said Bills. “It’s important to speak about these things and find the healing that’s available.”

GriefCare was largely successful in its first year; almost 20 participants joined the group and continued to meet even after the final session.

Grace Community Church offers several other programs for the community, the largest of which is the men’s and women’s ministry. This year, the ministry will begin meeting on Monday, Feb. 6, and will include small group discussion and biblical lessons.

At home Tuesday the Comets crossed over with Section Two foe Solanco and secured its fifth win over the last six games with a 57-37 win.

A bucket by Solanco’s Gavin Cox with 2:15 left in the first quarter tied the game at 9-9 but Manor went on a 10-3 run that included back-to-back 3’s by Ethan Benne (12 points), to lead 19-12. They never looked back.

Benne (6’4”) along with Dhamir Wesley (11 points) and Nate Schmidtke, both 6’5”, controlled the boards and sparked Manor’s transition game with quick passes up the floor to their speedy guards, Devin Figueroa and DeShawn Stanley, who both scored 11 points. Solanco had no answer.

The Mules cut the lead to ten early in the third quarter, but Manor won the half, 30-21 to pull away.

The boys were coming off a thrilling triple OT victory at Manheim Township Friday night, Jan. 13.

With a 10-2 lead early, the Comets were headed in the right direction, but the Streaks countered with a 24-0 run to grab a 26-10 lead. “In a span of a minute, we hit back-to-back threes and cut the lead to ten at the half,” said Bellew. “That was huge.”

The Comets flipped the score in the second half, outscoring the hosts by the exact same margin. Aidan Mattern’s 3-pointer with 18 seconds remaining in regulation, tied the game at 50-50.

The Streaks took a five-point lead in the first OT before the Comets responded, first tying the game and then taking a one-point lead. That didn’t hold. Both teams settled for 9 points and another tie, 59-59.

“We did get a good look at the buzzer but couldn’t drop the shot,” said Bellew. “We also had the opportunity to win at the end of the second OT with the ball under our basket with 2.5 left but again, could not convert.”

Finally, the Comets forged ahead, convincingly winning the

third OT 10-2.

“Nate reentered the game in that third OT when Dhamir (13 points, 9 in the second half) started cramping,” Bellew recalled. “He was solid on the glass, saving us a possession on offense and limiting them to one shot.”

Aiden Mattern, who finished with 17, also went 6-for-6 from the free throw line over the last two extra periods and scored Manor’s only two points in the second OT.

Benne tossed in a season-high 26 points, 14 in regulation.

“I was proud of our perseverance despite some struggles and never being able to get over the hump until we absolutely needed it,” said Bellew. “We also knocked down some key free throws.”

The Comets hit 18-of-23 free throws for the game.

SWIMMING

The Comet swimmers hit the pool Thursday, January 12, and posted mixed results in a home meet against Cedar Crest. The girls won two of three relays to help pull out a 90-80 win over the Falcons. The boys also won two of three relays but managed just two individual firsts in a 93-59 loss.

Freshman Kenzie Wolpert was the top point-getter with firsts in the 100 free and 200 IM contributions to both relays. She teamed with Ellie Baldrige, Kari Anderson, and Grace Bresch in the 200 medley and with Brianna Esh, Bella Fulmer and Anderson in the 400 free.

Spencer Barry, with the top time in the 100 fly and Brayden Clow, winner of the 100 free, also contributed to the 200 medley (with Noah Reen and Pol Linares) and the 400 free relays (with Reen and Derek Thomas).

Last Tuesday the teams battled Warwick where the boys almost pulled off an upset. The visitors prevailed 72-69. The Warwick girls’ team also finished on top, 94-63.

“We knew the boys meet would be close because we had similar numbers,” said head coach Eric Urban. “We swam well and had some season and lifetime bests. We

won both the 100 back (Clow) and 100 breaststroke (Linares) to keep it close. Even with winning the 400 relay we felt short, but it was an exciting race watching Derek Thomas hold off their anchor.”

Barry, Reen, Clow and Thomas won that final event with a 3:46.32, nipping Warwick’s 3:48.46. Other winners included Clow in the 100 fly and the 200-medley team of Reen, Barry, Clow and Linares.

Wolpert, with top times in the 200 free and 100 breaststroke, picked up Manor’s only wins on the girls’ side.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

Losses are never easy to digest, especially the lopsided variety, but often, when they’re looked at closely, they aren’t as bad as the final score appears. Such was the case with the girls’ 42-12 loss to Manheim Township on a very unlucky Friday the 13th.

The Comets were down just 9-4 in the first quarter. Both teams scored two points in the fourth, but it was Township’s 31-6 run through the middle frames that sealed the deal.

“We actually had more possessions,” noted head coach Mike Glackin. “We shot 5-for-48 from the field, and they were 14-for-41. And we only had three more turnovers, 23-20. We just had a terrible shooting night. Township caused some of that with their physical play and aggressive defense.”

On the plus side, Paityn Smith played tough on the ball defense, recording five steals and zero turnovers. Joelle Krosen banged inside for 15 rebounds, nine on the offensive end. Both finished with four points each. Izzy Kligge added six steals as the Comets battled from start to finish.

In Quarryville Tuesday, January 17, the visitors outscored the hosts in every quarter by four points or less and came away with their second win of the year against Solanco, 43-31.

Alayzha Twyman nailed three triples on the night and finished with 11 points. Rineer followed with nine, scoring six in Manor’s 12-8 run through the fourth quarter. Smith

scored all eight of her points in the first while Kligge knocked down a pair of treys to help pace the scoring.

BOWLING

With a 244 and a 243, Josh Stock rolled a match-high 675 to lead the Comets to a 7-0 victory over Cedar Crest Thursday, Jan. 12. Eva Brubaker chipped in with a 619 and rolled a 250 in the final game, the highest individual game of the day.

Lacey Slaymaker rolled a 204 and finished with a 575 series. Chris Hull and Corinne Smith were two pins apart, earning a 550 and 548 respectively.

Last Tuesday, however, the Comets dropped a tough one, suffering their first shutout of the season against Hempfield. All five of the Knights starters rolled over 600 with Priest McKensie topping everyone with a 671 series. Stock, with a 220 and a 247, led the Comets with a 634 series.

“Hempfield is the real deal,” said head coach Chris Vital. “This one hurt a bit, putting us in a three-way tie for first with four tough matches left. Eighteen consecutive years of making playoffs is on the line. Things can turn on a dime and my teams have come through many times before. It’s go time.”

WRESTLING

In Section One action Wednesday, Jan. 18 the Comets won just five of 13 bouts against McCaskey and dropped a 41-27 result at home.

Manor fell behind 18-0 before four straight wins put them in front 21-18.

Riley Evans pinned at 107, Gavin Boland won by forfeit at 114, Gabriel Midile worked a 6-2 decision at Travis Clawson (127) added a fall in 1:35.

The Red Tornado, however, won five of the last six bouts to pull away. Joshua Zook’s fall over Eh Klu Soe at 152 rounded out the Comet scoring.

CORRECTION

In last week’s wrestling article, it was incorrectly reported that Chris Rachor secured Manor’s victory over Solanco with a match-winning fall at heavyweight. The correct report should have read that Carter Rachor earned the final pin of the night to propel the Comets to a 38-33 victory.

Pet Art Show

Mulberry Art Studios created “We Love Our Pets” five years ago, after gallery owner April Koppenhaver experienced two significant losses in her life. Koppenhaver’s husband, Charles Gaul, and her beagle mix, Milo, both passed away within a month of each other, and Koppenhaver and Kulfan wanted to create a way to honor them. They decided to start an annual community art show that would be centered around pets and that would benefit an animal rescue in the area. Each year, Mulberry Art Studios supports the Sebastian Foundation for Animal Rescue by donating a portion of all art sales from the exhibit. On opening night, members of the Sebastian Foundation will have a table at the studio to accept donations, and several vendors will be present to sell pet-related items.

Last year, 162 pieces were accepted from over 100 artists from across the county. Many art teachers even incorporated the show into their curricu-

lum, helping students to create artwork of their beloved pets to submit for the show.

Although the show began prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kulfan believes that the struggles of the pandemic made many people realize how much they appreciated their animals. “Everyone was spending more time at home and realized how much having animal companions helped us,” said Kulfan. “People realized the comfort that animals give you.”

To submit a piece of artwork for the show, email Kulfan at Stephanie.MulberryArt@gmail.com.
