Lancaster Band Wins Album Of The Year

Making A Difference In Penn Manor

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

The Penn Manor Education Foundation (PMEF) has played a huge role in the lives of students in the local community for decades. In the organization’s own words, PMEF’s mission is “to enhance and enrich the educational experiences and lives of Penn Manor School District’s students, families and staff.” It accomplishes this primarily through scholarships and venture grants. Making these efforts possible is a group of deeply rooted locals who want to make a difference.

One such local is Frank Geist, whose family has been in Penn Manor for three generations. Frank’s mother, Leona, graduated from Manor-Millersville High School, the predecessor to Penn Manor High School, in 1942. Frank graduated from Penn Manor High School in 1963, and although his wife, Joyce, is a York County native, she worked in the

OnOct. 22, Lancaster-based music group The Jess Zimmerman Band won the Album of the Year award at the eighth annual Josie Music Awards in Nashville. The band’s album “Breathe” garnered the award in the country rock and Southern rock category, and the band itself was also nominated for awards in four other categories: Music Video of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, Fan’s Choice Award and Rock Vocalist of the Year. The Jess Zimmerman Band comprises frontwoman Jess Heitz, guitarist Joe Barszowski, bassist John Knobler and drummer Joe Mattis, and has concerts scheduled for the spring in Holtwood and Millersville.

The awards ceremony was hosted at the Grand Ole Opry, a nationally

known American country music venue that has been in operation for almost a century. “I was blown away that we were nominated in five categories,” Heitz said. “To win Album of the Year in such an iconic place was incredible.”

Each year, the Josie Music Awards recognize specifically independent artists, meaning they aren’t signed to a record label, so they handle things like recording, producing, touring and marketing themselves. Although well-traveled in the Lancaster and greater Pennsylvania country music scene, The Jess Zimmerman Band’s success as an independent group has also taken it across the East Coast, Midwest and South.

“When it comes to ‘Breathe,’ the album itself was a monumental step for us as a band,” Heitz said. “It was also a big step for me emotionally

and physically.” The Jess Zimmerman Band independently released “Breathe” in May 2021, following a flurry of recording sessions. The band members stayed in Nashville for five days, during which they recorded and mixed each of the 11 songs on the record. “It was a lot of work from start to finish. Sometimes we would be at the studio from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. working on these songs,” Heitz said. “Breathe” is The Jess Zimmerman Band’s first full-length album.

Heitz grew up on a dairy farm in Ephrata and currently lives in Mount Joy with her husband. Her musical career began at a young age; she would perform at local fairs, talent shows, church services and school events growing up. “Everyone has a dream when it comes to music, but if I were able to go back and tell my younger self that it

would be flourishing, I don’t think she’d believe me,” said Heitz.

The Jess Zimmerman Band has multiple shows in Lancaster approaching after the new year: on Friday, Jan. 13, the group will perform at Phantom Power, 121 W. Frederick St., Millersville; on Friday, Feb. 10, it will take the stage at Mickey’s Black Box, 101 Rock Lititz Blvd., Lititz; and on Friday, March 24, it will perform at Southern Lancaster County Farmer-Sportsmen’s Association, 573 Hilldale Road, Holtwood. “There’s an amazing music scene in central Pennsylvania, and we hope to connect with people all over, too,” Heitz said. “Our biggest goal is to reach and impact people in whatever way we can. That’s what ‘Breathe’ was for me.”

KPB Litter Summit Held In Lancaster

Stakeholders in the fight against litter convened on Nov. 1 and 2 for Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s (KPB) 2022 Litter Summit hosted by the city of Lancaster. The summit was held in coordination with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

The event began with a walking tour of Lancaster’s sustainable community, including two projects funded by Keep Pennsylvania Beauti-

ful, the Tiny Cans Project and Lancaster Compost Bin Co-op Expansion project. The Tiny Cans Project provides free trash cans for neighborhood residents to install on their porch railings to reduce littering. The Lancaster Compost Bin Co-op Expansion project allows the city to add new compost bin locations throughout the city.

Other stops on the tour included the Storm Water Rain Garden and Art Mural at Musser Park, the Urban Forestry project, and the new Bike It Lancaster Bike Share.

The tour was followed by an evening reception featuring an “Upcycled Art” exhibit curated by Red Raven Art Company.

Keynote speaker Danene Sorace, mayor of Lancaster, spoke about how clean and beautiful communities support strategic priorities for the city: strong neighborhoods, safe places, sustainable economy, and sound government.

Keep America Beautiful (KAB) recognized the PA DEP and PennDOT for their support and collaboration with Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s programming, including Pick

Art Exhibit To Run Through December

B. Emerson, a West Reading artist with a focus on detailed graphite pencil and paper illustrations depicting a variety of themes, will continue the exhibition of her newest collection, “Dark Games & Other Little Things,” at Mulberry Art Studios into December. Guests can contact the gallery curator at stephanie.mulberryart@gmail. com to arrange a visit.

Since a young age, making art has always been a way of life for Emerson. After college, working in other industries and starting a family, she rediscovered her love for drawing after the death of her spouse. Graphite pencil and paper is Emerson’s preferred medium. In earlier works, the inspiration of wood grain was partially used in paintings but not in its entirety as it is today. It has now become a signature style in identifying Emerson’s work.

Each piece has depth of movement through perspective, rich tonality and contrast with the use of black and

Penn Manor School District as an elementary school teacher and librarian. Frank and Joyce had three children who graduated from Penn Manor in the 1990s.

After his retirement in 2000, Frank began looking for nonprofits with missions that he could relate to and discovered PMEF. He served as the president of the foundation for several years and was on Penn Manor’s school board. “When the foundation needed to put its fundraising hat on and ask for money, you hardly even needed to ask families to contribute,” Frank said. “You only had to remind them of Penn Manor’s stories and how many good things happen for students here.”

PMEF assisted with dozens of projects while Frank was president, but he recalled one that stood out among the others. “A group of special needs students required additional emotional support, but

there wasn’t much room in the budget,” Frank said. “A counselor wrote a request to the foundation about what a dog could do for the group, so we helped raise the funds.” The school employed an emotional support dog named Dudley and saw such significant results that the counselor returned to attend one of PMEF’s board meetings, bringing Dudley and a student he had helped. The student had been struggling with her shyness and reading out loud in class but declared to the board that Dudley loved it when she read to him.

“(PMEF) was lucky enough to have an extraordinary faculty and dedicated team of teachers,” Frank said. “So many of them had ideas for what to do with students beyond the budget.” The foundation grew into a role similar to a booster club but for academics, granting teachers the extra resources they needed to take students on field trips and provide enriching experiences.

Early in its history, PMEF operated on a low budget. Frank and the foundation decided to reach out to the community and tell the story of PMEF’s successes so far, and they dubbed donors the Founding Friends. After only two years, the foundation raised $1 million, and today its endowed funds are over $2 million. “If someone comes up with a good idea at Penn Manor, the community is going to get the funds,” Frank said. “I’m humbled by it. PMEF has been a blessing to the Penn Manor community.”

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Pennsylvania recently named Tippetts/Weaver (T/Wa) Architects of Lancaster as the recipient of the 2022 Architecture Firm Award.

For Erin Mary Lynch of Landisville, the holiday season is more about giving than receiving. Lynch not only pur-

chases Christmas presents for her friends and family; but she also aims to give back to her community through music and providing a message of hope.

“Faith and performance have gotten me through so many things,” said Lynch. “The ability to pull people out of whatever day they’re having and into a joyful and happy mood is so special.”

Lynch was first introduced to the world of theater around the age of 7; when she performed in a Christmas show at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre.

Since then, she has starred in numerous productions across the county, returning to the Dutch Apple and first performing at Sight & Sound

Theatres in its production of “Jonah” in 2012. “I was super

lucky to grow up in Lancaster, where there are so many opportunities to perform,” said Lynch, who is currently a member of the cast of “David” at Sight & Sound.

This was the first year that Lynch was the writer, director and choreographer of the annual “Wish” musical at Dutch Apple on Dec. 4 and 5. The musical, hosted by nonprofit organization Mychal’s Message, raises funds in order to provide Christmas gifts and meals to families in Lancaster County. This year’s show followed the story of a young girl whose family is participating in Wish to give to those in need. The show highlighted the importance of giving versus receiving through the eyes of its protagonist. “I was able to see all of the kids and families that were involved with the program because of the mission and not just the show,” said Lynch. “It shifted my perspective.”

and see the story of the angel with Mary and Joseph, to the Inn of Bethlehem and to the Shepherds. The wise men and you will follow the same star to the stable. - Begin your journey by a campfire with a cookie and a cup of hot chocolate or warm cider. - No cost for the journey. Canned goods/gift cards to Solanco Food Bank would be a gracious donation. These will be collected at the welcome area, if you so choose to donate. - Golf carts will be available for those not comfortable or able to walk. - In case of inclement weather, the Journey will take place inside the church.

The auditions for “Wish” drew young performers from all over the county, and those selected began rehearsing in the beginning of October. After the end of the show, the money raised was used to pay for the gifts and meals that were acquired by Lynch’s older sister, Shannon Hickey who is a member of Mychal’s Message. The week before Christmas, the show’s cast members and their families will deliver the gifts and meals to recipients at McCaskey High School.

Lynch wrote the script and worked on “Wish” in between rehearsals and performances for “David,” often spending her evening dinner breaks writing the script, reviewing auditions and choreographing routines. This is the second year Lynch has written the script, and she plans to return as a writer for next year’s show.

Children performed in “Wish,” a Christmas production that raised funds for Mychal’s Message.

A note from Brent regarding “The Roar Within”...

In these events I take the guys through their identity in Christ, where do the lies come from that we buy into, and how we untangle whose lies. I call it, “declawing the lies of the enemy.” I also take the guys through the Big 5 Man-Killers that destroy every man (lack of purpose, lack of respect, anger, lust, and shame), and I do this using the Big 5 African animals tying each one of those struggles to each one of the animals. It’s a powerful way to hold their attention and give them the tools they need to defeat the enemy.

Clawson Takes the Gold at Solanco’s Mule Classic

BY MONA STEINHAUER

Nine members of the wrestling team competed in the season opening Mule Classic on Friday and Saturday, December 2-3. They left Quarryville with five medals and a ninth place team finish, out of 25.

“I’m really excited,” said head coach Brandon Vernalli. “We have a good group and a few more wrestlers than we did last year.”

Travis Clawson (121), grabbing gold, was the Comets’ highest place winner. He opened with an 18-0 tech fall, a 1:25 pin and an 8-2 decision to get to the finals. There he finished with a solid 9-2 decision over Red Lion’s Jackson Orrell, the returning champ.

“Travis is the horse who leads the team,” said head coach Brandon Vernalli. “He’s a returning state qualifier.”

New to the Comet lineup this year is Gavin Boland at 114. He was a silver medal winner, having dropped a 9-4 decision against Susquenita’s Mason McLendon. Boland worked a quick 29 second fall in his opening match and advanced to the finals with a 2-0 decision and an 8-2 result.

“Gavin’s dad is the new Millersville University wrestling coach,” pointed out Vernalli. “He is one of the hardest workers I’ve coached, and I expect nothing but the best from him this year.

Earning a bronze medal finish was Teagan Rogers. The lone senior on the squad will graduate in mid-January. “He stepped up and joined the national guard last year,” said Vernalli. “He is a wrestler that any team would hope to beg for. And Travis (Clawson) will have to step up next year and replace Teagen in terms of leadership.”

Rogers suffered a quarterfinals loss to the eventual second place finisher, Jesse Rappazzo (Red Lion), but rebounded with three straight wins, including a medalclinching 5-1 decision over Walker Murray (Pennsbury).

Rounding out the medal winners was Riley Evans (107) in fifth place and Josh Zook (160) who went 4-3 overall and finished in seventh place.

Evans went 3-2 with a pair of falls and Zook, who lost to Ryan Gavlick (CD), the eventual champ in his opening match, also recorded two falls.

Also competing was Gabe Midile (127), Ethan Farmer (133), Evan Buswell (139) and Mason Garfinkel (145).

BOWLING

Despite losing four of their top bowlers to graduation in June, the Comets opened the season with a 4-3 thriller over Elizabethtown at Leisure Lanes Monday, December 5.

Josh Stock rolled the highest series of the afternoon, a 735 that included a gamehigh 254 in the opening game. Lacey Slaymaker followed with a 657 series and Eva Brubaker (601) and Corinne Smith (567) rounded out the top four. Chris Hull (396) and Kayla Wasche (164) also chipped in.

“It was a very exciting first match,” said head coach Chris Vital. “I did not expect us to do that well. The kids rose to the occasion. Josh and Lacey showed their senior leadership.”

Both teams combined for a 1015 in the first game and the Bears forged ahead, taking game two 1085-1040 but with four bowlers rolling over 200 in the third game, Manor earned a dominating 1065-873 final. They finished with a 3120 total pin count, 147 pins ahead of the visitors.

“It’s very rare to have a tie in bowling,” Vital noted. “I really thought we had that one. And then after losing the second game we had a meeting, and I told the kids how important that third game would be and that they needed to give it everything they had. And they did. Josh was a hammer all night and Lacey was impressive. The lanes dried out in that third game, and she really threw the ball faster.

“It’s going to be a challenging season for us to finish first or second and qualify for playoffs,” he continued. “A lot of teams have improved. But we came up with a big win and that’s a good confidence booster to start the season.”

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

Penn Manor hosted Lampeter-Strasburg in the opening round of the Comet Classic Tip Off Tournament Friday, December 2 but a 46-22 loss prevented them from advancing to the championship round.

With no returning starters, the Comets struggled to maintain consistent scoring. They led 11-10 in the first quarter but managed just 11 points after that and failed to place a single player in double digits. Lilly Rineer scored four of her team-high eight points in that first quarter and Brin Groff added a triple.

“Our only returning varsity player was not available to play,” said first year head coach Mike Glackin. “We’re very young this year. We played nine different girls that had no varsity experience. It’s just going to be a daily process for us. There is no magic instant formula. We just need to be patient and work to get better each day we’re in the gym.

“Against L-S, we had 24 turnovers and gave up 18 offensive boards that turned into 14 second chance points,” he added.

Saturday, Central Dauphin dealt Manor a 58-21 defeat. The Comets were held to single digits in all four quarters, including just one point over the first eight minutes.

“I thought Carley Groff gave us some good minutes battling in the post and giving effort on the boards,” Glackin noted.

Freshman Alayzha Twyman was the top point-getter in this one netting six. B. Groff, Carley Groff, and Rineer each added three.

At home Tuesday, Dec. 6, Twyman netted a team-high ten points, going 6-for-8 from the foul line, but the Comets fell short against Oxford, 4527. Joelle Kroesen, also a freshman, added six points.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL

Despite outscoring Palmyra 19-10 over the final eight minutes, it wasn’t quite enough. The Comets dropped a 53-50 result in their season opener Friday, December 2. After a dead even first quarter, Palmyra forged ahead over the middle frames, outscoring the Comets 30-18 and held a 43-31 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Ethan Benne dropped a game-high 21 points and Aiden Mattern added 13 as the double-digit scorers. Dhamir Wesley (9 points), DeShawn Stanley (5) and Luis Frias (2) also contributed.

At Donegal Saturday night the Comets evened their record with a solid 51-41 win over York Tech. Manor controlled the tempo in the first half, using a 17-7 run through the second quarter to go up 28-14 at the break. YT’s second half rally, a 27-23 advantage, fell short in the comeback.

Benne went 7-for-7 from the

free throw line and scored a game-high 19 points. Wesley chipped in with 11 and Nathan Schmidtke and Mattern combined for 13. Stanley (4), Frias (4) and Ian Lutter (2) also reached the scoring column.

At Oxford Tuesday, Dec. 6, Benne knocked down 18 points, 13 coming in the first half, and the Comets defeated the Hornets 63-36. Frias added 15 points as the Comets jumped out to a 35-12 lead at the half.

SWIMMING

The Comet swimmers hosted Lampeter-Strasburg in their season opener Tuesday, December 6, but despite a handful of closely contested races, they fell short. The boys’ team suffered an 81-60 loss while the girls fell 96-73.

Brayden Clow was the top point-getter winning both the 50 and 100 free. He also swam the opening leg of the winning 200 medley relay with Gage Myers, Spencer Barry and Noah Reen chipping in. Barry went on to win the 100 butterfly and Pol Linares swam the fastest 100 breaststroke.

The girls’ team also secured the opening relay with Kenzie Wolpert, Kari Anderson, Grace Bresch, and Emma Landis teaming for the win. Anderson added the fastest 100 breaststroke, nipping Lampeter’s Kara Scranton. Catherine Repkoe took the 200 free and Wolpert was tops in the 200 IM.

Christmas Bird Count Announced

Since 1900, the National Audubon Society has conducted a bird census called the Christmas Bird Count with much of the leg work done by volunteers.

HARTZ PT Wins National Award

HARTZ Physical Therapy (HARTZ PT) received the 2022 Community Impact Award from APTA Private Practice, part of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), at the national conference held in Denver, Colo. The award is presented to an APTA Private Practice member that demonstrates the core values of excellence, integrity, social responsibility, altruism and professional duty, and has created a unique and sustainable program that positively impacts the community. Brian Hartz, Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner of HARTZ PT, accepted the award on behalf of the staff.

Through the HARTZ PT Charitable Organization, which was founded in 2020, HARTZ PT spends an average of 50 volunteer hours and contributes more than $1,000 per employee

in support of local charities each year. To date, the company has raised more than $272,000 by planning various charitable events, including an April food drive to benefit Water Street Mission called Feed the Need, a spring golf tournament and the annual Fall Blast 5K Run/Walk held every October, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. HARTZ PT’s charitable programs has benefited a variety of local nonprofits, including Bench Mark Program, Off the Streets Lancaster, A Week Away, Aaron’s Acres, Lancaster Science Factory and Hospice of Lancaster.

Public Invited To Christmas Light Show

The Christmas Spirit Light Show, a light display that residents of Lancaster and surrounding counties can enjoy from the comfort of their vehicles, opened on Nov. 25 at the Barnstormers’ stadium, 650 N. Prince St., Lancaster.

Visitors to the light show will journey through a 1-mile track surrounded by hundreds of thousands of color-changing lights, animated and dancing in harmony to Christmas classics.

The show will run through Saturday, Dec. 31. It is open on Sundays through Thursdays from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Guests can enter the light show on Prince Street through

the south entrance into the stadium. The show takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to drive through, and food and beverage items along with holiday merchandise will be available for purchase at the entrance to the show.

Each year, a portion of the proceeds from the Christmas Spirit Light Show is given to a different nonprofit organization. This year, the selected charity is Power Packs Projects, an organization whose mission is to fight hunger among students across Lancaster and Lebanon counties.

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.christmasspiritlight shows.com.
