The All-State Orchestra included violist Emma Starr and violinists Claire Tian and Alicia Xie, all from Hershey High School, as

well as Lower Dauphin student Joseph Goduto on viola. Lower Dauphin student Aden Weigle was selected to the All-State Chorus, as well as the 2023 All-Eastern and All-National Choirs.

finals rounds. As alliance captain, the team chose two additional robots (teams) to be part of its three-robot alliance that competed in each subsequent finals match against other three-robot alliances. In the MidAtlantic District Championships, the Krypton Cougars were an alliance captain in playoffs and were ranked first for individual performance. The team finished as finalists and scored the highest unpenalized score of the competition.

Worlds was marked by fierce competition, with a tremendous amount of damaging hits taken by all of the robots. A lot of the losses came from robots breaking down or

falling over. The Krypton Cougars’ robot, however, was one of the most resilient robots on the field, successfully competing in 16 matches and suffering minimal injuries.

The team successfully finished its first day of the competition ranked first out of 77 teams in its field. Other first-day rankings, based on wins and points scored, included 12th-best robot in the world out of more than 3,000 robots; 11th in the United States out of more than 2,500 robots; first in the MidAtlantic District out of 127 robots; and first in Pennsylvania out of 58 robots.

During the second day, the team suffered its first loss in a close match against two of the top teams. The final score of this match shifted the Krypton Cougars into third place. However, the team had an upset win in a match in which the Cougars had a predicted 40% chance of winning. Team members also persisted through a second highly disadvantaged match and, although they lost, they scored enough points to secure the ranking of first rank and first alliance captain.

Rotary Club honors essay contest winner

Lancaster Community Market will feature local bands and vendors

Lower

Dauphin High School ninthgrader Nolan

Gordon was recently named the winner of the Rotary Club of Hummelstown’s annual Four-Way Test essay contest. Nolan wrote about his experiences on a mission trip to Ohio, where he worked in an urban garden and orchard near Cleveland. The Rotary Club presented Nolan with a cash prize and a certificate of achievement.

The Rotary Four-Way Test is one of the group’s guiding principles, providing a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical framework for the things

Rotarians think, say or do in their personal and professional relationships. The Four-Way Test asks the questions “Is it the truth?” and “Is it fair to all concerned?” as well as “Will it build goodwill and better friendships?” and “Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

The Lancaster Community Market will return to the area on Saturday, June 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will take place at 311 Stanley K. Tanger Drive, Lancaster, located by the guest service area of the Tanger Outlets, and it will include live entertainment, kids activities and local vendors and nonprofit organizations.

Live music for the Lancaster Community Market will be provided by gospel musician Chuck Mock and local outfit Small Town Troubadours, a rock band based in Quarryville. Small Town Troubadours’ members include high school students from the Solanco and Hempfield school districts.

Multiple local vendors will sell a variety of items during the event, including homemade jewelry, hand-poured candles, wreaths, dog treats and accessories and bath products. Lancaster-based author Chas Williamson will have books available for purchase and signing.

Food and beverages will be available to purchase from a slew of food trucks, such as G’s Concessions, Brotherly Love Scratch Kitchen, Under the Bridge Cider, Joe’s Fish Sandwiches and Kona Ice of Lancaster.

Several nonprofit organizations will operate stations at the Lancaster Community Market to provide information and offer free activities for kids. Organizations such as the Lafayette Fire Department, Vital Theatre Company and many local food pantries will be

in attendance, and the children’s activities will include a bounce house and face painting.

The Lancaster Community Market was first organized in 2021 by MJ Small Business Squad, a marketing agency that seeks to promote locally owned companies in Lancaster. MJ Squad began organizing community events after the COVID-19 pandemic to assist business owners who were heavily affected by the resulting closures. When Tanger Outlets contacted MJ Squad about hosting an event, MJ Squad’s co-founder Megan Kalbach said that she was ecstatic about the partnership. “Tanger Outlets reached out wanting to support our mission, which is great because it’s such a hub for businesses in the area,” Kalbach added. “The event has had a large boost of support from the community and has helped us support so many businesses and nonprofits.”

The Lancaster Community Market drew over 1,000 attendees in its first year. Kalbach received a wave of positive feedback from those in the community, as well as visitors of Lancaster who were pleasantly surprised by the festivities. Due to the fact that buses from surrounding areas stop at Tanger Outlets, Kalbach said the location of the market helps to promote the culture of businesses in Lancaster and extend their reach.
