Students earn art awards

BY GEORGE DEIBEL

Solanco School District students combined to win a total of 22 awards in two contests.

The students in grades seven through 12 competed in the Lancaster County Young Artists (LCYA) Awards and Scholastic Art Awards.

Senior Addie Boyd earned a gold award from the LCYA, a ceramics award in memory of Caroline Henderson, and a Gold Key award from Scholastic. She is an American Visions nominee in ceramics and glass from Scholastic for her work “Picnic Tea Set.”

Addie did not take up ceramics until her sophomore year of high school. “From my first class, I’ve loved it,” she said. “I love working with my hands. I’ve always had a passion for it, I guess, once I found it.”

Seniors Mindy Baker and Mia Truett each received honorable mention from both the LCYA and Scholastic.

Senior Cassidy Brown earned honorable mention from Scholastic.

“It’s motivating to have people appreciate my work.”

Junior Blake Jenkins won an LCYA gold award and merit award and a Gold Key award from Scholastic.

“I’ve been drawing since I was a small child,” Blake said.

“It’s always been a part of my home life. … I feel like I enjoy it because it’s a facilitator for a lot of things. It can help with stress. I can utilize creativity to express

emotions when words won’t work.”

Junior Ashlyn Brown earned honorable mention from LCYA and a Silver Key award from Scholastic and was a Creative Futures Silver Award Scholarship recipient.

“It was very surreal, and it’s motivating to have people appreciate my work,” said Ashlyn. She said she enjoys ceramics because “it’s the fact I’m making something out of natural materials that come from the Earth. It’s cool to see something come to life that you imagined.”

Junior Hannah Chen won a silver award from LCYA and an honorable mention from Scholastic and is a Creative Futures Silver Award Scholarship recipient.

The Creative Futures Silver Award Scholarship earned by both Ashlyn and Hannah is a $4,000 scholarship from the

Logan Wagner is playing some of the best golf of his stellar career at the most opportune time.

Wagner, a sophomore at Millersville University, won two tournaments in a five-day span leading up to the NCAA Division II region championship.

The Marauders won both of those events, and Wagner was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Men’s Golf Athlete of the Week.

Teamwork and communication.

Life skills and learning support students from Penn Manor, Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S), and Solanco high schools honed those skills while stocking trout in local waterways this spring.

Jeffrey Schmidt, district officer for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s Bureau of Law Enforcement, oversees the process. “The longtime positive working relationship with

the IU benefits the trout-angling public,” Schmidt said. “For me, it is personally enriching in working with the students, experiencing their collective enthusiasm, energy, and corollary sense of self-pride and reward in this annual educational, community service initiative.”

Schmidt noted he “promotes teamwork to readily accomplish the task at hand, as long as it is equally shared. (Students work) cooperatively and cohesively with students from other schools as well as the dedicated

Junior high students have a chance to show their ingenuity

BY GEORGE DEIBEL

Students in grades six through eight are being presented with the opportunity to have their animated display be part of the exhibit at the Choo Choo Barn.

The tourist attraction, located at 226 Gap Road, Strasburg, has announced the first Choo Choo Barn Student Design Challenge.

Students have the chance to see their original, animated display become part of the Choo Choo Barn model train layout and win prizes.

“We can’t tell people to reduce their screen time unless we replace it with something else,” owner Gary Russell said.

Russell stated that the challenge allows students to showcase their creativity and engineering skills “to explore mechanical design, engineering, and animation principles.”

The first-place winner will have his or her animation brought to life by the Choo Choo Barn staff. The project will be permanently added to the display. The top three winners will receive monetary prizes and also receive four complimentary tickets to the Choo Choo Barn.

The deadline to submit entries is Sunday, June 1. Students interested in participating should submit their detailed sketches, mechanical movement plans, and a written explanation of their animation

to Rae Vanni at rae@choo choobarn.com.

The animation projects will be judged on creativity and originality, functionality and engineering feasibility, accuracy of scale and clarity of drawings, and quality of explanation.

The Choo Choo Barn Foundation sponsors a five-week school program that introduces students to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

“What we find is when we go and we talk with the kids

in school, they are excited to come and see the layout,” Russell said. “There have been numerous times when a kid says, ‘What can I do to get involved?’ We want to encourage the creativity that the kids have.”

That was the genesis for the competition. “What we want to do is to grow this into the junior high market, so they can use their ingenuity to come up with different animations to make them more exciting,” said

The American Heart Association and Penn State Health Children’s Hospital recently held Hands-Only CPR training days at Solanco High School in Lancaster County and York Suburban High School in York County, providing more than 1,000 students with the knowledge and confidence to save a life during a cardiac emergency using Hands-Only CPR. The training days kicked off with an assembly where John Breinholt, pediatric cardiologist for Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, explained the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest and introduced the steps of

Hands-Only CPR. Volunteer instructors from the American Heart Association, Penn State Health and the schools took the lessons from the assembly back to the classroom, giving each student the opportunity to practice the new skills.

The schools also received the American Heart Association’s CPR & First Aid Anywhere Training Kits, which contain everything needed to facilitate CPR, AED and first aid training for hundreds of learners

Concert to feature

The

Hyssongs

The Hyssongs will present a concert of gospel music at High View Church of God, 2470 Leaman Road, Ronks, on Sunday, May 18, at 6:30 p.m. Dell, Susan, and Richard Hyssong travel full time as the award-winning trio The Hyssongs. Their ministry combines family vocal harmony, humor, trumpet, and trombone with a Christ-centered message.

The Southern gospel group has been performing as a family for 28 years. The Hyssongs perform at more than 225 events each year throughout the United States and Canada. The trio ministers in churches and auditoriums and on gospel singing cruises, as well as on television and radio. Additionally, the group has sung to audiences of more than 12,000 people on the main stage at the National Quartet Convention and performs

annually at Dollywood and Silver Dollar City.

The trio’s music can be heard on Southern gospel radio stations and Sirius XM Enlighten. Its most recent song, “There Is a God,” along with “Choose Life,” “Run the Race,” “I Tell Them Jesus,” and “Let the Hallelujahs Ring,” earned the No. 1 spot on the Singing News Radio Chart. The group was awarded the Singing News Fan Award for Favorite New Trio 2014 at the National Quartet Convention, Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Every year since then, it has been voted Top Ten Trio of the Year. Absolutely Gospel Music listed the group among 10 artists to watch in 2015, and its CD “Faith & Family” was voted a Top 10 Album of the Year in 2017 by Singing News fans.

A freewill offering will be received to support The Hyssongs.

We’d like to wish all of our area moms a truly wonderful Mother’s Day. Your commitment to raising great kids makes our world a better place, and we admire your hard work and tireless dedication.

Heart Challenge initiatives in the region.

The goal of the American Heart Association’s Nation of Lifesavers initiative is to turn bystanders into lifesavers, so that in the time of cardiac emergency anyone, anywhere is prepared and

empowered to become a vital link in the chain of survival and provide CPR. Every year in the United States, there are more than 23,000 youths who experience a cardiac emergency outside of a hospital and almost 40% of those are sports-related.

Quick, simple and easy-tolearn, Hands-Only CPR has been shown to be as effective in the first few minutes as conventional CPR for cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public. For more information about CPR training, visit www.cpr.heart.org.

Russell. “We want to foster that imagination that the kids have and reward them for that. We are very interested in what people are saying and what they would do to make our layout better.”

Russell has already received positive feedback. “It’s going over much better than I thought because this is something the kids really like,” he said. “Besides the fact there is a prize at the end, I think the money is second nature. I think what really is driving it is they have ability to put their handiwork (on display) and be part of our layout. We’re going to put their name on it, so people know it’s from them.”

The Choo Choo Barn was established in 1961 and features a display where firefighters respond to a house on fire and squirt real water to put out the “blaze.” Another animation

shows members of the Amish community building a home.

“We are known for our animations, and we basically bring the train layout to life,” Russell said. “A lot of people have trains and buildings and things like that. We make them move.”

Many of the animations have been in operation since the Choo Choo Barn opened. “We have a very, very long history of the animations, and we’re just getting better and better at it,” Russell said. Now junior high students will get the chance to be part of the magic.

SCORE recognizes small business owners, mentors

To celebrate Lancaster and Lebanon counties’ innovative small business communities, SCORE Lancaster-Lebanon hosted its 18th annual small business awards luncheon on April 17 at The Ware Center at Millersville University in downtown Lancaster. The event recognized outstanding small businesses, partners and mentors for their accomplishments contributing to Lancaster’s and Lebanon’s economy. Winners included the Arthur Reeher Company,

Chellas Arepa Kitchen, Perfect Pots, the WEPA Empowerment Center and White Rose Family Dental. The event included a buffet lunch and featured presentations from each of the winners.

When the Arthur Reeher Company, a family-owned independent insurance adjusting firm, asked manager Brian Miller to assume ownership of the 65-yearold business, Miller was excited but also nervous, as he had no prior experience in such a venture. Being a

Marine, he knew he didn’t want to face the challenge alone, so he reached out to SCORE and was connected to Jerry Glenn as a mentor. With Glenn’s mentorship, Miller brought his wife, Stacia, aboard, making the company a profitable family-owned business once again.

Chellas Arepa Kitchen, founded by Luis Quiroz to share his Peruvian heritage, grew from a food truck into a nationally recognized restaurant, ranking No. 5 on Yelp’s “Top Places to Eat in the Country” and featured in premier publications like Food & Wine Magazine. Named after Quiroz’s grandmother, Chellas became a Lancaster culinary staple. With years of guidance from SCORE mentor Lou Davenport, Quiroz secured financing for his first location and recently expanded to a

second spot on North Queen Street, fulfilling his dream of a brick-and-mortar restaurant while honoring his roots.

Perfect Pots, a thriving garden center and seasonal planting service in Strasburg, began in Laura Clegg’s garage as a hobby-turned-business. As demand grew, she embraced entrepreneurship, expanding Perfect Pots into a premier gardening destination in southeastern Pennsylvania. During a rapid growth phase, SCORE mentors Eric Parker and Margot Hoerner provided crucial human resources (HR) guidance, allowing Clegg to focus on the big picture. Now with multiple locations, including Kitchen Kettle Village and Central Market Flowers in Lancaster, her journey continues to flourish.

In 2021, Rafael and Maribel Torres founded

the WEPA Empowerment Center to address critical needs in Lebanon, focusing on education and workforce development. With guidance from SCORE Lancaster-Lebanon and mentor Kevin St. Cyr, they helped individuals pursue employment opportunities and long-term self-sufficiency. Securing $5 million in funding, they renovated a building at 9 S. Ninth St., now home to classrooms and learning spaces for adult education and workforce initiatives. Their mission continues to empower generations to come.

Kaushal Kapadia’s journey to dentistry began in his childhood in India, inspired by an orthodontist who treated his “crooked smile” with kindness. Impressed by the orthodontist, he vowed to become a dentist with that same philosophy of

ultimate kind patient care. He immigrated to the USA in 2007 and attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, graduating with top honors and volunteering in underserved communities in and around Philadelphia. In 2022, he opened White Rose Family Dental, crediting SCORE mentor Gary Wojcik for his success.

“I wasn’t playing the best golf coming into it,” Wagner said. “I was kind of gliding along trying to shape my game up. We just got back from IUP (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) the day before that, and it was really windy up there. It was blowing 40 miles per hour. We got some hail. I shot two 79s up there, and my game plan going into Bloomsburg was to just go out there and try to find something in my game. And I’m pretty sure I did.” Wagner needed just 24 putts to complete his round. The win was a big boost to Wagner’s confidence, he said, reinforcing “the thought you know you can compete, and you know you can win a tournament again. That really helps going into a tournament, as well as the team coming off of a win and having the team have a bunch of confidence trying to win another tournament.”

On April 21, Wagner fired a 5-under par 66 to take the Franklin & Marshall (F&M) Invitational at Bent Creek Country Club. Wagner was one stroke off a Millersville-record round. He hit 16 greens in regulation and carded a 6-under 30 on the back nine. Starting his round on the second hole, Wagner made the turn with a birdie on No. 10, and that

momentum carried him the rest of the day.

Course knowledge helped Wagner, who has recorded a 64 at Bent Creek, where he practices nearly every day during summers with guidance from his personal coach, Rob Rowe.

Millersville’s next tournament will be the NCAA Atlantic/East Super Regional Thursday through Saturday, May 8 to 10, at Whispering Woods Golf Club in Erie.

The top three teams and some individuals will qualify for the NCAA Division II championships, which will be held Monday, May 19, through Friday, May 23, at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

“We’re trending in the right direction, so I think we have a good chance if we all play like we know how to,” said Wagner, who is majoring in sports administration. “Our big goal right now is to get the team back to nationals because it will be the first time in a while that Millersville has done that.”

Millersville golf coach Scott Vandegrift is optimistic but also understands the Marauders will face stiff competition. “We have the firepower to make it to nationals,” Vandegrift said. “That’s our goal every year. We’ve done it once in 2003.

Why not this year?”

Wagner is the most decorated golfer in Solanco history. A four-time Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two scoring champion, he was fourth in the PIAA tournament his senior season, the highest state placing by a Mule duffer.

Wagner attended Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Va., before transferring to Millersville University. “It was a new opportunity,” he said. “Everything didn’t really fall into place down there like I wanted it to, but I was very grateful to have that opportunity.”

Once Wagner officially entered the transfer portal, he got a call from Vandegrift, who was Wagner’s first golf coach when he was 6. Vandegrift was a youth golf instructor at Tanglewood Manor Golf Club and later coached Wagner on a PGA Junior League team.

Vandegrift explained that Wagner would be coming to a championship-caliber team, and nothing would be handed to him. Wagner was not able to compete for Millersville last spring but did practice with the squad, learning from his teammates, including the team’s top player, Tim Peters.

Wagner did not make the starting lineup (as one of the team’s top five players) in the fall of his sophomore season and wasn’t in the team lineup to start the spring. Wagner competed as an Individual at IUP and Bloomsburg, and Vandegrift was impressed with the way Wagner conducted himself in those circumstances. Wagner earned a spot in the team lineup at F&M and for the region tournament.

“Logan is a smart young man and understands what it takes to get into our lineup,” said Vandegrift.

“He did well in the horrible weather (at IUP) and didn’t say anything about not being in the starting lineup at Bloomsburg. … He is learning how we play and learning to be a good team player. That’s how we win.”

Wagner plans to play a full schedule this summer. He will be in the field for the Delaware State Amateur and will enter qualifiers for the Pennsylvania State Amateur and the Pennsylvania Open. Wagner will take part in the R. Jay Sigel Amateur Match Play Cham-

pionship and USGA events like the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur local qualifiers. “I want to stay busy and try to keep my game sharp,” he said.

adult float stocking teams.” Schmidt challenges students to transport the trout from the PFBC (Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission) stock truck to the water in two minutes. “With limited oxygen and 25 trout on average in a five-gallon bucket weighing approximately 37 pounds in total, this purposeful community-service work is in practice a workout,” said Schmidt.

Andrew Yeager, a job trainer for IU13 who works with Penn Manor students, said, “The students get a different experience to see the process of how the ability to fish even starts. And they work in a team environment. A lot of the other jobs we work, we do cross paths with a lot of students from other schools and other job trainers. It’s just a good opportunity for them to work in a different environment and give back to the community.”

Several Penn Manor students volunteered during three fish stocking trips, including one on the west branch of the Octoraro Creek on April 14. “A lot of the experiences we do participate in are paid experiences,” Yeager said. “It’s good for them to see there are other ways they can help out besides paid experiences.”

In addition to trout stocking, the students have

done food prep in kitchens and packaging in warehouses. “The things we do prep them for real-world job experiences, and we simultaneously continue to build their résumés and get them prepared for future employment,” said Yeager. Penn Manor student Kevin Loreto is enjoying the job training program. “I love it,” said Kevin. “I like packing and rolling silverware and making food at a restaurant. It’s not too hard, and it will help me get a real job.”

IU job trainer Nicole Fornwalt, who works with L-S students, enjoys trout stocking because she says it builds a sense of community throughout the three school districts. “I hope my students get a love of nature and being outside,” she said. “I want them to learn how to communicate

with one another and how teamwork makes a job a lot easier.”

L-S student Phoenix Garabo said, “It is really fun. I like the environment and how many fish we put into the water. We work together and have a good time.”

Solanco job trainer Bridget Stively said her students participated in eight trout stocking trips, including stops at Big Beaver Creek, Little Beaver Creek, Bowery

Run, Stuart Run, Conowingo Creek, Fishing Creek, and Muddy Run Lake.

“It’s a great way to give back to the community, and the students learn to work together as a team,” said Stively. “It teaches them how to follow instructions and be ready for work.”

Solanco student Jordan Kroener said, “I like stocking fish because it’s good to do for other people to try to catch them. I like being able to go outside.”

Solanco students Hayden Riffert and Harleigh Hendrickson both shared that they like being part of a team. “I enjoy bucket brigading,” Hayden said.

Schmidt stated, “Students are to be commended in their active demonstration of those traits that will serve them well in all future pursuits: teamwork, persistence, and overcoming obstacles in working towards a positive outcome.”

He hopes the community recognizes the students’ contributions. “Trout anglers should take pause in pursuit of their daily creel and appreciate the volunteerism efforts that provide the basis for their successful outing, coupled with the ongoing generosity of riparian landowners in permitting fishing access,” Schmidt said.

Sophomore Lila Good earned a gold award from LCYA and a Gold Key award and honorable mention from Scholastic. “I’ve been drawing my whole life,” Lila said. “I started drawing more in fourth and fifth grade.”

Freshman Charles Link won a silver award from LCYA and honorable mention from Scholastic.

Freshman Audrey Thatcher received honorable mention from Scholastic.

Riley Jenkins and Alyssa Herr, eighth-graders from Smith Middle School, both earned honorable mention from LCYA.

Averie Ross, a seventhgrader from Swift Middle School, won a Silver Key award from Scholastic.

Students honored by the Lancaster County Young Artists had their works displayed until April 27 at the Lancaster Museum of Art, 135 N. Lime St., Lancaster. Solanco art teacher

Shannon VanGyzen works with the students in high school who specialize in drawing. “It feels very rewarding,” she said. “It’s nice to see the hard work that I put into helping them bring out their creativity and develop their technical skill and then to see where they go with it.

It’s an amazing journey, and when they get awards like this, it’s super validating. I feel incredibly proud.”

Kesse Humphreys is a Solanco High teacher who concentrates on ceramics.

“I love the process of seeing

their ideas come to life, talking to them and pushing them on their ideas and concepts, and giving them the skills to build these things they’re imagining in their own mind,” he said. “It’s very rewarding.”

The Solanco teachers begin with fundamentals and then allow the students to explore. “We like to start with skill-building, giving

them the skills and techniques to draw or paint or sculpt,” said Humphreys. “Then start asking them questions and making them think about their environment and creating art in response to that. Mrs. VanGyzen and I like to incorporate things the students are interested in. I think that’s big part of it. That engages their curiosity.”
