Local Band Nominated For Award

Lodge Posts Groundhog Day Celebration

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

The tradition of Groundhog Day is over a century old and revered by communities across Pennsylvania, most famously those in Punxsutawney. But those whose excitement for the holiday stops with watching Bill Murray’s film set during the holiday may not know that there’s more than one lodge that houses a prescient groundhog.

The Slumbering Groundhog Lodge of Quarryville will hold its 115th annual Groundhog Day celebration on Thursday, Feb. 2, at the Chateau in the Valley of White Rock, south of Quarryville. Festivities will begin with a ceremonial parade at 8 a.m., and coffee and doughnuts will be available for attendees. During the event, hibernating governor Charles N. Hart will make his forecast after he consults the lodge’s mascot, a groundhog named Octorara Orphie.

SmallTown Troubadours, a local band comprising students from the Solanco and Hempfield areas, has been nominated for the Central Pennsylvania Music Awards (CPMA) in the Best Youth Band category. Voting for the award concluded at the end of January, and the band will perform in front of CPMA’s judges at a showcase on Saturday, Feb. 25, at Lebanon Valley College. Should Small Town Troubadours qualify as a finalist, it will perform at the CPMA ceremony on Thursday, March 30, at Hersheypark Stadium.

The band includes four juniors from Solanco High School: rhythm guitarist Shaun Graybill, drummer Waylon Simcox, lead vocalist Logan

Bear and lead guitarist Raif Groves. The band’s bassist, Riley Hornberger, is a senior at Hempfield High School.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shaun and Waylon began learning guitar and playing songs together. The pair had never played any instruments prior but focused on music as a way to pass the time during the lockdowns. “It started out as two boys hanging out and playing guitar,” said Adrienne Graybill, Shaun’s mother and the band’s acting manager. “Kids weren’t able to go anywhere or do anything, so the band was a good thing that came from the pandemic.”

Six months after Shaun and Waylon started playing together, Logan joined the project. Shortly after, Small Town Troubadours’ lineup was completed with the addition of

Raif and Riley. The band initially focused on covering songs in the Southern rock and classic rock genres but is currently in the process of writing original music. “They’re old souls; they’re playing music that their parents and grandparents listened to,” Adrienne said. Small Town Troubadours describes its sound as being influenced by the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Whiskey Myers.

In the spring of 2022, Small Town Troubadours began playing shows all over the county. The band took any opportunity to share its sound with an audience, performing at local fairs, carnivals and vendor shows. Since then, Small Town Troubadours expanded its shows to include private parties, restaurants and clubs.

“They don’t want to pretend to be people that they’re not. That’s a big thing for them,” Adrienne said. “They have fun playing their music, and they work hard at it.” Each member of the band dedicates time and energy into the project while juggling the responsibilities of being a high school student and working parttime. In addition to Adrienne assisting with booking shows, Waylon’s father does sound for each gig and Logan’s mother handles merchandise.

“They don’t just stand up there and strum a guitar. They have a lot of energy and they connect with people,” Adrienne said. “We’re excited to see what the future brings.”

Groundhog Day frompg 1

Six observation squads made up by members of the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge will report on whether or not Orphie has seen his shadow. After receiving the reports, the hibernating governor will make his announcement from the top of a manure spreader dubbed “The Pinnacle of Prognostication.” Stuart J. Mylin, the lodge’s defender of the faith, will speak after the announcement. A demonstration of the “groundhog jig,” accompanied by the Groundhog Marching Band, will follow.

“It’s a couple hundred people that cast their cares aside

once a year and make fools of themselves,” said Bill Forrey, who has been a member of the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge for 33 years. After the prediction is made, lodge members will withdraw to their lodge, but attendees will be invited to remain and celebrate.

Each year during the ceremony, the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge initiates a handful of new members called baby groundhogs. The initiates spend each Sunday in January preparing for the induction ritual, which the lodge calls “Baptism by Fire and Water.” The ritual begins with each baby groundhog

being submerged into the icy Octorara Creek. After enduring the frozen water, the initiates will crouch before an antique cannon, which is then fired over their hindmost parts. “Members take this initiation process quite seriously,” Forrey said. “It’s a longstanding tradition.”

The Slumbering Groundhog Lodge of Quarryville was formed in 1908 and retains hundreds of active members. The tradition of observing Groundhog Day was brought to Pennsylvania by German immigrants, and several other lodges have formed in Lancaster County over the last decade.

Go Fore Golf Hours Revised

Yoder Leads With 12 Points Against CV

BY MONA STEINHAUER

The boys’ basketball team opened the second half of their Section Two schedule with a home game against Conestoga Valley Friday, January 20. After falling to the second place Bucks by just 13 points back on December 16, head coach Anthony Hall was hoping to return the favor on Friday but single digit scoring in the second and fourth quarters favored the visitors who pulled away with a 47-34 road win.

Noah Baber’s eight point effort sparked a 13-10 first quarter lead but the Bucks opened the second with a 7-3 run, held the hosts to five points, and took a 24-18 lead to the locker room.

“We play hard. There is no doubt about that,” said head coach Anthony Hall. “We’re just going against teams that have better shooters than we do. We scored five in the second quarter and just two in the fourth. One quarter like that is difficult enough, but two? That makes it difficult. And we’re still without our starting point guard. Yet another challenge.

“Overall, though, you have

to look very hard at the stats that are causing us to fall short because we are competing,” he continued. “CV had 11 second chance points and scored seven more off of turnovers. And we had 18 turnovers to their 12.

“It’s just growing pains,” the coach said. “We’re learning a new offense and we’re still teaching basketball. One of these games we’re going to put it all together.”

Solanco cut the lead to 3027 on a Baber jumper with 3:00 left in the third but could get no closer. And when Jaydon Yoder, who tossed in a team-best 12, scored a baseline jumper with less than four minutes remaining, it was still a close game, 40-34. The Bucks, however, closed with a 7-0 run to pull away.

Baber and Noah Bailey bucketed ten points each and Austin Wenger backed Yoder’s team-high eight rebounds with six.

Griffen Rishell canned four treys en route to a game-high 15 points for the Bucks.

“We finished with 11 assists, so we’re sharing the basketball,” added Hall. “We just need to score a little more often. If we go .500

over our last six games, I will be ecstatic.”

Looking to snap a five game losing streak, the Mules faced Warwick in Lititz Tuesday, Jan. 23 and were dealt another setback, 59-43. A 19-5 first quarter run, and a 24-for-28 free throw shooting performance by the hosts were enough to get head coach Chris Christensen his 100th career win.

The Mules did outscore the Warriors 16-14 in the third, but it wasn’t enough.

Baber, with six in the fourth, bucketed a game-high 15 points. Warwick placed three players in double figures, two with 14. Bailey netted nine, seven in the third and Yoder added eight, all in the second half.

WRESTLING

The wrestling team competed in the Northern Lebanon duals on Saturday, January 21 and brought home one win in three attempts. They opened with a thriller, edging past Susquenita 37-36 on criteria but then lost to Saucon Valley (47-24) and N. Lebanon (45-18).

“You always go in wanting to win the match as a team but at this point in the season getting individual matches and mat time is crucial,” said head coach Tony Mendez. “We have two more losses on our record, but individually we got stronger because of the matches.”

The Susquenita match opened with Jamar’s 5-3 decision at heavyweight and forfeit for a 9-0 lead. Susquenita responded with three straight falls to pull ahead 18-9 before Solanco rallied. Andrew Smith (133) pinned in 47 seconds, Jared Fulton won by forfeit, Ben Williams pinned in 1:39 and Justin McCauley worked a 6-0 decision at 152 to push back in front, 30-18.

Susquenita won three of the last four bouts, with a fall and two forfeits, opposite Blaine Plastino’s forfeit win at 172 to tie the score. Solanco gained the criteria point by winning more bouts, 7 of the 13 wrestled.

A forfeit to Caden Rutt and Bradeon Bickford’s 55 second fall at 114 gave Solanco another early lead, this time over Saucon Valley. The Mules, however, managed just

three more wins, Fulton’s 9-3 decision, a 7-0 final by Williams and Plastino’s 5:59 fall.

In their last match of the day, the Mules fell behind N. Lebanon 15-0 before tying the score on Smith’s major decision, Fulton’s fall and a tech fall by Williams. But the Vikings finished strong, winning six of the last seven bouts. Plastino’s 7-0 capped Solanco’s scoring.

“Blaine, Ben and Jared all went 3-0 on the day,” Mendez pointed out. “And our heavyweight, Jamar Moore, basically a first-year wrestler, did a nice job getting a win against Susquenita and going the distance in another match. That going the distance happened for a couple of individuals. We’d rather lose by decision than getting pinned.”

Wednesday the Mules dropped a tight one in Lititz, falling 39-32 against Warwick even with two forfeits and one starter out of the lineup. Complete results were not available at press time.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

Jenna Ehlers hit a layup and drew a foul at the buzzer, sinking the game-winning free throw with no time left on the clock and pushing Solanco past CV on the road, 37-36, on Friday, Jan. 20. The Bucks crushed Solanco 62-45 in their first Section Two meeting of the season.

Ehlers netted of her teamhigh points in the first quarter as Solanco sprinted to a 14-8 lead early. Paige Althoff netted half of her eight points in the second frame and the visitors held a 22-13 lead at the break.

CV closed the gap after that. The visitors missed six free throws in the third quarter (4for-12 for the game) while the Bucks started dropping treys, netting two in the third and three more in the fourth, to spark a comeback. Gabrielle Moore led that charge, finishing with 16 points on five treys and a free throw.

“Those three pointers got them back in the game quickly,” said interim head coach

Jeff McCardell. “I thought we played some tough defense and shut down two of their leaders but in the second half we had to change up which players we were guarding to slow their offense down in the fourth.

“They hit a three with 16 seconds left and we turned it over, so we needed to foul,” McCardell explained. “They missed both, Arianna (Seiberlich) drove the length of the floor and put up a good shot. Jenna rebounded twice, scoring on the second attempt, and was fouled as the horn blew. They cleared the lane and she hit the game-winning free throw.”

Seiberlich finished with nine points and six steals.

Josie Janssen (5 points), Kara

Peace (4 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals), and Sarah Landis (5 rebounds) also contributed.

Solanco split the series with Warwick as well, using a strong first quarter to spark a 48-31 Tuesday, Jan. 24 home win over the Warriors, who defeated the hosts 41-33 in their first half meeting.

Ehlers fueled the fire in this one as well, knocking down nine of her career and gamehigh 24 points in the first quarter. Add Althoff (11 points) canning a pair of threes and the hosts made a convincing 19-6 first quarter run. Warwick twice cut the lead to ten, including 27-17 at the half, but could get no closer.

Peace was also among the scoring leaders with eight points.

WANTED TO BUY

BY JEFF FALK

Could the Lancaster Airport be one of the most heavily utilized airports in Pennsylvania, as well as one of the state’s most underutilized? Now, that may sound like a contradiction, but it very much tells the story of the local transportation hub.

One of 13 public airports in

Pennsylvania, Lancaster Airport serves as a gateway for the rich business climate that flourishes in central Pennsylvania. But when it comes to commercial traffic, sometimes local flyers overlook Lancaster Airport as part of their travel plans.

Consider this: Lancaster Airport offers about five commercial flights per day, about

30 a week, many of which serve as connecting flights to destinations like New York; Boston; Washington, D.C.; and Florida through larger commercial airports. But Lancaster Airport stages nearly 90,000 private or corporate flights each year.

Mainly because of that large number of business flights, Lancaster Airport ranks third in the statebased on number of flights, not number of passengersbehind only Philadelphia and Pittsburgh international airports.

“I’ve heard that the community wants to go more places from the airport,” said Lancaster Airport Authority director Ed Foster. “I think what happens is that simply because we don’t have large jets come in here, people don’t associate it (commercial travel) with Lancaster. When people search for flights, they tend to book larger airports. Sometimes it may be cheaper, but we’re close and convenient

and we offer free parking here. We’re trying to make it more attractive to fly out of here.”

Situated on 850 acres of land east of Route 501 at 500 Airport Road, just north of Neffsville, the Lancaster Airport features an air traffic control tower, hangars and two paved runways, including a 6,934-foot-long, 150-footwide runway.

The Lancaster Airport Authority employs 29 local residents as fuelers, firefighters and managers. But the other 24 on-site businesses employ another 230 citizens.

It is estimated that the Lancaster Airport helps generate $50 million a year for the local economy.

“Our mission is very simple: It’s to support local businesses and introduce them to an international and global market,” said Foster. “I think the community respects the airport. We get zero complaints about noise. We’re trying to be good neighbors. We have a lot of activity, but it’s not an annoyance.”

The airport was dedicated as Lancaster Municipal Airport on Aug. 17, 1935. Fourteen years later, the Lancaster Airport was enlarged and modernized to include night aviation.

Since then, the facility has undergone a number of renovation and improvement projects, which include current efforts to repave the runways and add additional hangars.

“We’re building hangars as fast as we can,” said Foster. “We’re a community airport. We’re here for the community. We wouldn’t be here if the community didn’t need it. We want the community to use the airport. You can get to anywhere in the world from here.”

A Call To All Animal Lovers

A new plaque in the Lancaster Science Factory’s Hall of Heroes honoring Carol Shaw was dedicated on Dec. 14 by members of the Lancaster Science Factory’s Girls Code Club.

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.”

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 curriculum, 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.Mulberry Art@gmail.com.
