Adventures for Picky Eaters
planning your vacation has never been more fun!

athy Anderson is hoping her children’s book “The Green Bean Time Machine” will give readers some food for thought. It’s geared toward picky eaters ages 4 to 8. “As an Integrative Nutrition health coach, I have worked with many clients who are interested in growing in their health and fitness,” said Kathy, who lives in Rapho Township. “Many are parents with young children, and the topic of picky eating often comes up during sessions.” She shared tips, tricks and advice from a health coach perspective in sessions but realized she could turn the information into a book, creating adventures designed to encourage kids to grow in their own health and wellness journeys by eating more fruits and vegetables. “The Green Bean Time Machine” follows the story of 5-year-old twins Billy and Bailey as they travel to the prehistoric era in a time machine. “Without giving away too many details, the twins meet up with a very special dinosaur friend, help the dinosaur town and discover that bravery doesn’t just mean facing towering dinosaurs; it also means taking a bite of something green,” Kathy shared. “The story follows Billy’s hesitation to try

Hall of Fame Will Induct Class of 2026 BY CAT SHANNON
When the Class of 2026 is inducted into the Manheim/ Manheim Central Hall of Fame, the group will include a film maker, a marimba virtuoso, an inventor, a wrestler and three individuals dedicated to public and community service. The newest class will be recognized at a ceremony on Saturday, April 11, in the cafeteria at Manheim Central High School, 400 E. Adele Ave. A social hour will begin at 3 p.m., followed by dinner at 4 p.m. and an awards ceremony afterward. As Denny Enck, vice president of the group, explained, the name of the Hall of Fame represents distinguished alumni of Manheim and Manheim Central high schools. “We use Manheim/Manheim Central because anyone that graduated prior to 1950 graduated from Manheim High School,” he said. “After the merger of Manheim Borough, Rapho and Penn townships, we became Manheim Central High School.” Nominations for the Hall of Fame can be made by anyone except board members, who then review the nominations and vote on approximately five to seven people to induct annually, he said. The Class of 2026 is Vanessa Dohner, Jordan Enck, Christopher Hackman, Brenden Hubbard, Robert “Bob” Miller, Clair Omar Musser and Clarence Walton Musser. Dohner, a 2005 graduate, built a career in public service and international law after earning degrees from Rutgers and Pace. She worked with U.S. Citizenship
