Young trapshooters target success
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
When someone tries trapshooting, they will experience much more than just hitting a clay target, said Tod Neifert, president of Manheim Clay Sports and member of the Manheim Sportsmen’s Association.
“Young shooters that take up trapshooting sports learn great skills,” he shared. “On top of shooters learning safety, sportsmanship and shooting skills, they also learn to work through difficult times, concentration during distractions and that there is value learning from the veteran shooters.”
One of the things Tod enjoys most about the sport is its inclusivity. “Trapshooting is for all shooters, not just males, not just females, not just young or old, and there are shooters that stand and shooters that are in a wheelchair. It is for all,” he said. “Because of the support of the Manheim Sportsmen’s Association, the joy of trapshooting is within reach of all young shooters in the Manheim area.”
As Tod explained, five young local trapshooters got together to try the sport for fun at a different trap club. “They all began to improve and enjoy the competition and camaraderie of trapshooting,” he said. “With all the boys being from Manheim, Jim Shreiner and Matt Powronzik, with the support of Kurt Diffenderfer, began reaching out and offering the boys to shoot at Manheim Sportsmen’s Association.”
The students, who all attend Manheim Central High School, have achieved great success and improvement in their disciplines this year, Tod noted. He explained that there are three disciplines
in amateur trapshooting. “The disciplines are singles, handicap and doubles,” he said. “Singles trapshooting is when you shoot from five different angled positions that are 16 yards from the trap house, where the clay targets are thrown.” In handicap, shooters fire from different yardages, based on their skill level. In doubles, two birds are thrown at the same time. In all disciplines, the clay targets are thrown at approximately 35 miles per hour, Tod said.
“The joy of trapshooting is within reach of all young shooters in the Manheim area.”
Each of the Manheim shooters has events that he gravitates to, Tod noted. Shooters Chase Kirchner, Avery Kirchner, Andrew Waddington and Joel Hershey represented Manheim Central
FFA at the Lancaster County FFA competition earlier this year and won first place. Individually, Chase achieved shooting both 25 and 50 straight while competing at the Pennsylvania state shoot in Elysburg. Avery won individual champion as the high-scoring shooter at the Lancaster County FFA shooting competition. Andrew won the Doubles Championship Class D runner-up at the Westy Hogans in Elysburg. He also won the Singles Junior Class Runner-up Champion, shooting a 98 of 100. Joel has won awards in six events: Junior Singles Champion and Junior Handicap Champion in the 128th Anniversary Shoot at
Glen Rock Shooting Club, Junior Handicap Champion and Junior Doubles Champion at the George Landis Jr. Memorial Shoot at Glen Rock Shooting Club and Junior Handicap Champion and Class C High All-Around Champion in Elysburg.
Leonidas Neifert has achieved the ranking of All-American. “In the 2024 season, Leonidas is ranked 18th in the world in amateur trapshooting in the Sub-Junior Category,” Tod stated. “He also achieved the honor of being named to the Pennsylvania state team.” In the 2024 season, Leonidas amassed more than 40 awards in each of the three disciplines.
“The group’s success would not be possible if they wouldn’t have found a sportsman’s club to accept them with open arms. The Manheim Sportsmen’s Association did exactly that,” Tod commented. He added that the association

For the past few weeks, a group of budding entrepreneurs at Marticville Middle School has been putting its creativity and teamwork to the test. Students in Elizabeth Ortega’s autism support classroom have embraced the role of small business owners, preparing for their debut at the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13’s Holiday Student Bazaar. Operating under the name The Spectrum Studio, these young creators have crafted a collection of one-of-akind handmade keychains and vibrant tie-dyed T-shirts, all ready for sale at the event on Thursday, Dec. 5. The bazaar will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the IU13 Conference and Training Center, 1020 New Holland Ave., Lancaster.
Several of the seven students in the class are nonverbal, but they use pictures and communication devices to share their enthusiasm for their projects. Pointing to the beaded keychains, Zayvion Jones showed off his favorites, while Nesha Hopstetter said she loves making keychains from silicone beads and shrinky dinks.
As they string the beads and color the keychains, they are doing much more than just making crafts.
“There are so many good skills they learn from this,” Ortega said. “They learn to handle the money, work on the budgeting and prepare all the items.”

Lancaster Chorale concert to feature Christyan Seay
The Lancaster Chorale will present a program titled “Psalms, Hymns, and Spirituals” featuring the renowned African American tenor Christyan Seay of Harrisburg. The concerts will take place on Saturday, Nov. 23, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 24, at 3 p.m.
Under the direction of Bruce Gerlach, the Lancaster Chorale has grown to more than 100 members. To accommodate more singers, the chorale will perform for the first time in Gardner Theatre on the campus of Lancaster Country Day School, 725 Hamilton Road, Lancaster. A freewill offering will be received.
Local composer and pianist Dan Wolgemuth will accompany Seay for his solo rendition of the spiritual “Lord, I Want to Be a Christian.” The chorale will also perform Wolgemuth’s setting of the hymn “Fairest Lord Jesus.” The group’s longtime pianist and organist, Jan Stauffer, will accompany the chorale for much of the program.
Traditional African American spirituals on the program include ”Soon Ah Will Be Done”; “Ain’t Got Time to Die”; “Elijah Rock,” arranged by Moses Hogan; and the Jester Hairston versions of “Hold On!” and “Amen.”
In addition, the hymns and psalms that Gerlach has chosen for the concerts include Schubert’s “The Omnipotence,” “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need,” “Brother James’s Air,” “At the Round Earth’s Imagined Corners,” “I Will Not Leave You Comfortless,” “Pilgrim’s Hymn,” “The Eyes of All Wait Upon Thee” and “The Awakening.”
at Penn State University. Seay is a graduate of that university, where he studied with Anthony Leach, who had first recognized Seay’s talent when the tenor was a teenager in a church choir in Steelton.
Gerlach discovered his love for choral singing and conducting at Penn Manor High School. After earning a doctorate in choral conducting from Southern Seminary in Louisville, Ky., Gerlach was a music professor for many years at the College of the Ozarks, near Branson, Mo. He and his wife, Margie, returned to his native Lancaster after he retired.

Seay has performed extensively throughout central Pennsylvania and abroad, including with the Harrisburg and Lancaster symphonies and opera companies as well as with the Pennsylvania Consort and Concert Operetta of Philadelphia. He has performed in New York City at Weill Recital Hall and in Prague at the Smetana Hall. Last year he was the tenor soloist in the Mozart “Requiem” for Shippensburg University and was the guest artist for the African American Music Festival

is the perfect fit for student Cole Hartman, who was hard at work making a SpongeBob SquarePants design. He’s been practicing his favorite school subject in preparation for helping to run the business. “I like to do math,” he said. “It’s fun.”
Ortega’s students will be among hundreds throughout Lancaster County who will offer their homemade items for sale at the bazaar.
“We have well over 300 participants and approximately 40 mini businesses,” said Doreen Unton, coordinator of job training services for the IU13, who noted that a similar event is held in November in Lebanon County. “We set up the Conference and Training Center using the perimeter of the room and three rectangle groups so that customers can walk around easily to see merchandise. … It is usually loud and busy but happy!”
The bazaar began after the IU13 established a grant program to support teachers in setting up classroom mini businesses, she said.
“The primary goal of a mini business is to teach students job skills, social awareness and work ethics in a practical, class-based setting,” Unton explained.
“By managing a classroom business, teachers can provide direct instruction on work responsibilities, specific job skills, production processes, quality standards and employability skills. … Running a mini business offers students valuable insights into business operations and entrepreneurship. Each experience, including facing low sales, becomes a learning opportunity.”
Unton noted that the
bazaar is a win-win for both shoppers and students.
“As a customer, from the moment you walk into the building on the day of the bazaar, there is an energy and buzz of excitement,” she shared. “Students are smiling and telling you all about the craft they made, and shoppers are happy to browse for treasures. The events have also become a reunion of sort for past students and staff. People are hugging, laughing and engaging with the students. It’s a wonderful atmosphere, and I guarantee that visitors will leave the event with a smile, full heart and lots of goodies!”
For the students and staff, the event represents the culmination of their hard work. “Now they get to set up their display of crafts and sell them to cus-
tomers,” Unton said. “They get to practice social skills, sales skills, math and so much more. And they get to do a little shopping at the other vendors.”
Sales from the mini businesses directly benefit the classroom, with funds used for student incentives, donations to charitable causes or even unique initiatives such as a class sponsorship of an Alaskan Iditarod dog race team. Proceeds from The Spectrum Studio will be used to fund community-based outings and field trips.
“I’d like them to go to a restaurant, practice ordering their own food and paying for their own food,” Ortega shared. “We want to go bowling or go to the movies. We want to give them opportunities to practice those kinds of
skills.”
Unton encourages people to visit the bazaar to pick up one-of-a-kind items and see the students in action.
“Ask them what they made and how they made it,” she said. “If you purchase something, allow them to test their math skills and customer service skills. Oftentimes students blossom in this environment when they are outside the classroom and can interact with people. … By attending, you will help reinforce and demonstrate public support for our local area students and make the event impactful and memorable for them and their teachers.”

Every November, many Americans say goodbye to their boyfriends’ and husbands’ clean-shaven faces while men take part in the nationwide No Shave November movement. The annual tradition involves ditching the razor for one month, and it has been observed by men in the United States for over a decade. For many participants, the month is simply an excuse to try growing that Tom Selleck-inspired
mustache they’ve always wanted to have. But for some men, including first responders in nearly every part of Lancaster County, the shaving fast is a way to support other emergency service workers who are battling cancer.
In 2013, East Hempfield Township police officer Bill Watt was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment. After personally experiencing the emotional stress and financial burden involved with treatment, Watt wished to create an
initiative to support other people who are battling cancer. The following year,
Watt asked East Hempfield Township’s chief of police to waive the department’s policy that prohibits officers from growing facial hair during November. For a minimum donation, officers were permitted to grow a beard for the month, after which the money was donated to the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute in Lancaster. The fundraiser, named Beards for Brothers, was officially registered as a nonprofit organization this year.
In 2015, Watt teamed up with West Hempfield Township police officer Rich Bowermaster to expand Beards for Brothers. The two officers’ primary goal was to advocate for first responders fighting cancer by offering them financial and emotional support, as well as raising awareness of cancer and urging other police departments to get involved. “(Watt and I) both work in adjoining departments, so we’ve known eachother for a long time,” Bowermaster said. “He reached out to ask if I wanted to join (Beards for Brothers), and of course, it was a no-brainer.”
After the first year, Watt and Bowermaster expanded Beards for Brothers to support other emergency service workers in addition to police officers. The initiative quickly grew into a county-wide fundraiser that police officers, firefighters and EMS clinicians in nearly every borough participate in every year. “We decided to open it up to (support) any first responder who has cancer. We all have an important role and support each other somehow,” said Bowermaster. “Dispatchers have a tough job, and police officers work side by side
In 2019, Beards for Brothers began to support A Week Away Foundation through its annual No Shave November fundraiser.
“Illumination” concert posted
Prima Theatre’s annual “Illumination” holiday concert will return to Lancaster from Friday, Nov. 22, to Sunday, Dec. 22, at 941 Wheatland Ave.
“Illumination” is an immersive candlelight concert featuring instrumentalists and vocalists encircled by seating on all sides. This 80-minute program will include new twists on well-known carols and songs, and the cast includes Karisa Fulmer, Gabbi Mack, Ali Murphy, and Aaron Pottenger.
Fulmer is a Pennsylvania native who attended both the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts and Temple University for vocal performance. She has since performed across the U.S., overseas, and on the seas. She hosts a podcast for seasoned and aspiring performers alike titled
the “Booked & Blessed Podcast.”
Mack is a performer, arts educator and coach, and choreographer. Perhaps best known for her twoyear run as Catherine of Aragon in the musical “Six,” Mack has performed on tour, regionally, and in New York City in various musicals, plays, and concerts, including new works.
Murphy, a Lancaster native, began her involvement with Prima in 2019 as a NextGen intern and has since been involved in multiple projects. Upon graduation from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami in 2022, Murphy moved to Nashville to pursue music full time. Since her time there, she has released her debut EP, titled “A Long Time Coming,” and a single titled “Blue T-Shirt,” and
she has performed at many well-known venues around town.
Pottenger is making his debut at Prima Theatre. Based in New York City, he has performed on numerous stages throughout Lancaster County and across the United States, including The Fulton Theatre, American Music Theatre, Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre, and Sight & Sound Theatres.

Advoz appoints interim director
The Advoz organization underwent leadership changes during September, including the appointment of Krista Rittenhouse as interim executive director.

Rittenhouse started as
a volunteer with Advoz in 2019 before being hired later that year as the restorative justice case manager. She has been instrumental in growing the restorative justice program and has been promoted twice during her tenure. Her most recent position was director of restorative practices, which included leadership of the Circles processes and school engagements.

New program aims to improve work zone safety
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) have launched a new, statewide training program to improve new driver safety and roadway worker protection. The launch took place at Carlisle High School to highlight teen driver safety during National Teen Driver Safety Week.
Pennsylvania’s New Driver Work Zone Safety Program is a training project that uses videos, infographics, knowledge checks, and testimonials to teach new drivers work zone laws, signage, and key facts, in addition to offering real-life scenarios to enhance understanding. The new program launched during¬†National Teen Driver Safety Week in October; this annual observance aims to provide education on safe driving to teens and all new drivers in the commonwealth.
The free, 35-minute virtual New Driver Work Zone Safety Program is
currently available in English and Spanish. The transportation agencies will also collaborate on hands-on training opportunities to supplement the course.
Last October, Oklahoma became the first state in the nation to require new drivers to pass a work zone safety course to get their licenses. After hearing about Oklahoma’s program, the PA Turnpike developed a plan to introduce a similar initiative and has been working with PennDOT to make it a reality. The project was funded through $50,000 from the Federal Highway Administration’s State Transportation Innovation Council Incentive Program. While the program is free and encouraged for all Pennsylvania residents, it is especially geared for new drivers.
Key factors in crashes involving teen drivers in Pennsylvania include driver inexperience, driver distractions, driving too fast for conditions, and improper or careless turn -
ing. The risk of a crash involving any of these factors can be reduced through practice, limiting the number of passengers riding with a teen driver, obeying all rules of the road, and using common sense.
The joint training project extends PennDOT and the PA Turnpike’s collaboration on increased work zone safety awareness. Both organizations host work zone-related educational events throughout the year. In March, PennDOT and the PA Turnpike, in partnership with the Pennsylvania State Police, started enforcement of the statewide Work Zone Speed Safety Camera program, which uses vehicle-mounted systems and electronic speed timing devices to detect and record motorists exceeding posted work zone speed limits by 11 miles per hour or more.

Get creative with holiday decor
The end of the year is coming, and that often involves decorating a home in its holiday finest. Everyone has a different vision of a well-appointed holiday home, but there is always room to make things more unique and creative.
For one thing, holiday decorating need not be restricted to the living and dining areas. People may decorate unexpected places, such as swapping out everyday towels and shower curtains with something festive.
For a unique holiday bouquet, people may swap flowers for pine cones, berries, and greenery in unique vessels. For example, they may arrange the centerpiece in a tall fountain glass or even a cocktail shaker.
An accent tree might be desired as a centerpiece or on a sideboard. A styrofoam cone can serve as the base of the tree. Attach poinsettia branches for a vibrant red tree or stacked lemons or oranges filled with greenery for a fresh-smelling citrus creation.
Instead of attaching a tree topper to the tallest bough, hang one from the ceiling just above the tree to add even more whimsy.
When it comes to a holiday table, mix and match table settings for an eclectic tableau.
People can get creative with color in a variety of ways. Certain holidays are known for their particular color palettes, such as red and green for Christmas, but people might choose to do something unexpected. Whether using a lighter shade of the same hue or adding an accent color like purple or blue, they can change things up in a creative way.
The color scheme theme may be showcased on and around the Christmas tree. People may choose ornaments that align with the color scheme, and they may even match the ornaments to the presents wrapped under the tree. Purchase white package paper and color or paint the paper to be the same hues as the ornaments on the tree
boughs.
Training to focus on sustainable pest control improvement homefall
Penn State Extension will hold a Biocontrol School from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. The workshop is geared for greenhouse and vegetable growers, crop consultants, Master Gardeners, educators, and anyone interested in learning about sustainable pest control.
Experts from the industry and academia as well as experienced growers will share the latest advancements in biocontrol research and application. The workshop will help participants understand biological control; options for choosing biocontrol agents such as nematodes, insects, bacterium, fungi, and biopesticides; strategies to keep biocontrols on the landscape; and strategies to
Those looking for a greater departure from traditional Christmas colors might rely on neutral, wintry tones that will blend in with the home but add a festive touch. Natural wood, whites and creams, and muted greens can fill spaces.
In addition to color, shape can be an area of experimentation. While round wreaths are traditional, people may make their own wreaths in a different geometric shape by using wire or another material as the frame. Square wreaths may be unexpected, and they can also be turned on their side for a diamond shape.
Unique holiday decorations can be a great way to add new life to a home this December.

Tips to simplify Thanksgiving dinner
Thanksgiving is a much anticipated and beloved holiday. Celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, the celebration offers families and friends an opportunity to gather and break bread together.
Food is indeed a focus of Thanksgiving, and that can be a little overwhelming, if not intimidating, for those tasked with hosting the celebration. Guests might come to expect certain Thanksgiving staples, including turkey and mashed potatoes. Such expectations can make it easier to plan a Thanksgiving menu, but sticking to Turkey Day standards is not the only way to simplify meal planning.
Hosts may accept help but keep it limited. It is customary for loved ones invited to Thanksgiving celebrations to offer to bring a dish to dinner, and that can alleviate some of the burden on hosts. However, hosts may want to keep things simple by asking only a small handful of guests to prepare a side dish. Once the quota is filled, they may politely decline any additional offers to bring food. It can be hard to find space on the table if too many guests bring dishes from home, and that can lead to hurt feelings if certain sides are ignored or left on the kitchen counter
due to a lack of space. Another way to simplify the meal is to resist the urge to cook too much food. A large amount of food is wasted on Thanksgiving each year in the U.S., so hosts may want to cook a more reasonable amount of food and explain to guests that they aspire to reduce food waste this Thanksgiving.
Unless people plan to share photos of their family meal on social media, they may consider skipping the more elaborate formal table settings in favor of the kind of simple setup they might use most nights when dining at home. Polishing the fancy silver and folding cloth napkins in an impressive way are time-consuming tasks that complicate meal preparation. Keep it simple with less-formal settings, which will allow guests to direct their focus to the food itself.
Purchasing a premade dessert can take some of the burden of cooking off the host. It might be tempting to spend extra time making a pie or cake, but hosts may not want to do so if they already feel overwhelmed.
Hosting Thanksgiving dinner is no small task. However, hosts can take various steps to simplify Thanksgiving meal planning this year.
Pecan pie recipe
A Thanksgiving dinner table can be a sight to behold. For foodies and others who love the array of comfort foods on display come the fourth Thursday in November, Thanksgiving is a day to look forward to.
While a mouthwatering turkey and sides like mashed potatoes and stuffing garner the bulk of the attention, the dessert table also can be a tempting place to direct one’s eyes. Although no dessert is off limits on Thanksgiving, pie is a particularly popular option. Those planning to make a dessert may consider the following recipe for pecan pie courtesy of Lines+Angles.
Pecan Pie
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
1 9-inch unbaked, frozen deep dish pie shell, thawed

coarsely chopped
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Spread pecans along the bottom of the prepared pie shell.
3. In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients and pour over pecans. The pecans will rise to the surface of the pie.

Trapshooters
emphasizes safety first, and he noted that club members serve as mentors for the young shooters.
Tod is optimistic about the future of trapshooting in Manheim. “It is refreshing to see families accompanying their young shooters to the club,” he said. “It is exciting to see the veteran trapshooting members of Manheim Sportsmen’s Association mentoring the young shooters. It is a symbiotic relationship where the young shooters learn from skilled veteran shooters that have already experienced the problems and difficulties that young shooters will see. The veteran shooters have a deep sense of pride as they mentor and pass on their skills to the next generation of shooters.”
Tod noted that with the support of the Manheim Sportsmen’s Association, a youth trapshooting program is forming now.
“Trapshooting is a safe, fun sport that will challenge every person. As Manheim Clay Sports is a new organization, we are actively looking for community support,” Tod said, noting that anyone interested in supporting the organization or learning more may email him at Neifertt2@ gmail.com. “It is our hope to have the official program up and running by spring.”
Anyone can try trapshooting on Wednesdays at the Manheim Sportsmen’s Association, 552 Oak Tree Road, Manheim. For more information, follow “Manheim Sportsman’s Association” on Facebook.

with EMS and fire departments when we arrive on scene.”
Over the last decade, police departments in areas as far as Pittsburgh have joined the movement, and businesses throughout Lancaster County have supported Beards for Brothers through sponsorships and donations. In addition to the minimum donation from each participant, Beards for Brothers raises money for cancer patients by selling merchandise on
its website, www.beards forbrothers.org. Every year, Beards for Brothers selects different Lancaster-based individuals to support, and the fundraiser has benefited local nonprofit A Week Away Foundation for the past five years. A Week Away Foundation funds and organizes respite weeks for local families experiencing a life-threatening illness. Beards for Brothers invites members of the public to attend First Responders Night Out from 5:30 to 11 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6, at Olde Village Mill, 1350 Village Road, Strasburg. The event will feature food, live music, a silent auction and various activities, and all proceeds will benefit first responders battling cancer. Beards for Brothers will also host a fundraising event on Wednesday, Nov. 27, at Starview Brews, 224 Locust St., Columbia. For each beer purchased during the evening, one dollar will be donated to to first responders and their immediate families who are fighting cancer. For more information, visit the aforementioned website or search for “Beards for Brothers” on Facebook.
