Three Manheim Township students have joined the Out of the Box Robotics team based in Coatesville. These participants are ninth-grader William Lee and 10th-grader Michael Gallagher, who both attend Manheim Township High School, and eighth-grader Ezekiel Pujol, who attends Manheim Township Middle School.

Each year, teams consisting of students in grades seven to 12 compete head-to-head at area competitions by designing, building and programming a robot to complete a series of assigned tasks.

Most recently, Out of the Box Robotics competed at the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) on Dec. 18, 2022, at Coatesville Area Senior High School (CASH). Team members won the Inspire Award, which qualifies them for the state competition in March.

According to www.firstinspires.org, the Inspire Awards is given to the team that “best embodies the

‘challenge’ aspect of the FIRST Team Challenge program.” The team that receives the award is ambassador for the FIRST program in its community and is described as a role model FIRST team.

“The Inspire Award is not just about the robot or how it works,” Ezekiel explained. “The judges meet with the students, and they have to know about the robot and how it works. It’s (also) about how you have done community outreach.”

For their community service project, team members participated in All About Robotics Night last August at the Barnstormer’s stadium. “It was all about technology,” said Ezekiel. “We set up a stand and taught people about robots and FIRST, our robotics league. We even built a robot with a baseball launcher.”

Each year, the FTC offers a different task that the student teams must complete with their robots. This year’s theme is “Powerplay.” The main thing is to pick up cones, which have holes at the top, and put them on pillars or poles,”

Ezekiel said.

Team members have various duties, including building the robot and programming. “There is designing the robot and how it will be built, putting the robot together and piece work, which is making the pieces of the robot,” Ezekiel noted. “There are two drivers; one will operate where the robot goes and the other driver mans the intake and outtake, which is the arm of the robot.”

He said that the team members, who meet at CASH, share a special camaraderie. “We (disagree) about how the robot is going to be built, but we do learn a lot, like what to do and not to do. It’s a very good system,” Ezekiel said.

Michael was the first student from Lancaster County to join the Coatesville team. Ezekiel said that he and William joined later after reading an article about Michael in the Manheim Township Merchandiser.

On Oct. 22, Lancaster-based music group The Jess Zimmerman Band won the Album of the Year award at the eighth annual Josie Music Awards in Nashville. The band’s album “Breathe” garnered the award in the country rock and Southern rock category, and the band itself was also nominated for awards in four other categories:

and Ian Christ of Boy Scout Troop 84 in Neffsville have earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America.

To earn the Eagle Scout rank, Patrick and Ian fulfilled requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. They were required to earn 21 merit badges, including 13 required Eagle badges; serve actively in a troop leadership position for at least six months; plan, develop, and carry out a comprehensive service project; and appear before a board of review to demonstrate that they had done their best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law.

Sprouting Learners

MTSD recently hosted the Winter Sprouting Learners event! Sprouting Learners is one of the District’s early childhood initiatives that focuses on engaging families in meaningful early learning experiences. This year, children ages newborn-age 5 and their families participated in literacy, science, math, STEM, fine motor, and sensory learning experiences. Each child received a take-home bag or box filled with literacy materials. Thank you to Manheim Township Educational Foundation for the grant that funds this important program, our awesome MT Teachers who created these lessons for our Little Streaks, and the community partners listed below for their participation in helping to make this event special for our youngest learners! • Owl Hill Learning Center • Manheim Township Public Library

Music Video of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, Fan’s Choice Award and Rock Vocalist of the Year. The Jess Zimmerman Band comprises frontwoman Jess Heitz, guitarist Joe Barszowski, bassist John Knobler and drummer Joe Mattis, and has concerts scheduled for the spring in Holtwood and Millersville.

The awards ceremony was hosted at the Grand Ole Opry, a nationally known American country music venue that has been in operation for almost a century. “I was blown away that we were nominated in five categories,” Heitz said. “To win Album of the Year in such an iconic place was incredible.”

Each year, the Josie Music Awards recognize specifically independent artists, meaning they aren’t signed to a record label, so they handle things like recording, producing, touring and marketing themselves. Although well-traveled in the Lancaster and greater Pennsylvania country music scene, The Jess Zimmerman Band’s success as an indepen-

dent group has also taken it across the East Coast, Midwest and South.

“When it comes to ‘Breathe,’ the album itself was a monumental step for us as a band,” Heitz said. “It was also a big step for me emotionally and physically.” The Jess Zimmerman Band independently released “Breathe” in May 2021, following a flurry of recording sessions. The band members stayed in Nashville for five days, during which they recorded and mixed each of the 11 songs on the record.

“It was a lot of work from start to finish. Sometimes we would be at the studio from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. working on these songs,” Heitz said.

“Breathe” is The Jess Zimmerman Band’s first full-length album.

Heitz grew up on a dairy farm in Ephrata and currently lives in Mount Joy with her husband. Her musical career began at a young age; she would perform at local fairs, talent shows, church services and school events growing up.

“Everyone has a dream when

it comes to music, but if I were able to go back and tell my younger self that it would be flourishing, I don’t think she’d believe me,” said Heitz.

The Jess Zimmerman Band has multiple shows in Lancaster approaching after the new year: on Friday, Jan. 13, the group will perform at Phantom Power, 121 W. Frederick St., Millersville; on Friday, Feb. 10, it will take the stage at Mickey’s Black Box, 101 Rock Lititz Blvd., Lititz; and on Friday, March 24, it

will perform at Southern Lancaster County Farmer-Sportsmen’s Association, 573 Hilldale Road, Holtwood. “There’s an amazing music scene in central Pennsylvania, and we hope to connect with people all over, too,” Heitz said. “Our biggest goal is to reach and impact people in whatever way we can. That’s what ‘Breathe’ was for me.”

Christmas Tree Recycling Program Posted

County residents may dispose of their Christmas trees in an environmentally friendly way by dropping them at the mulching site at Lancaster County Central Park, 1 Nature’s Way, Lancaster. Trees may be dropped off between dawn and dusk through Tuesday, Jan. 31. The park mulching program is for Christmas trees only. No other yard waste will be accepted. Trees must be free of decorations, lights, plastic bags, and hardware, including

nails in the trunk. There is a limit of three trees per vehicle. Commercial haulers are strongly advised to contact their local municipalities for their respective Christmas tree recycling locations. There is a suggested nominal donation for each tree. Donations will benefit the operation of the Dr. John Moss Native Tree Nursery in Central Park. Trees from the nursery are utilized throughout the Lancaster County Park System. A portion of the

funds are used to purchase emerald ash borer protection for about 26 ash trees in Lancaster County Central Park and Buchmiller County Park.

According to park officials, residents drop off about 1,000 Christmas trees each year, which produce 15 tons of mulch. The mulch is ideal for acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas, and many deciduous ornamental trees and shrubs that require slightly acidic soil conditions. The mulch will be

available to residents on a firstcome, first-served basis after Jan. 4, near the tree drop-off site. Persons desiring free mulch should bring a pitchfork or shovel and a bag or a trailer to transport it home.

For more information about the Christmas tree mulching program, call the park office at 717-299-8215 on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. To learn more about the Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation, visit www.lancastercountyparks.org.

Patrick’s Eagle Scout project was walkway reconstruction at Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum in Lancaster. Patrick is a freshman at Penn State Berks, studying to earn a degree in food science.

Ian’s Eagle Scout project involved paver pads at St. John Neumann Church in Lancaster. He is a member of the Class of 2025 at Manheim Township High School. He is interested in engineering and enjoys playing the trumpet.

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America, and Troop 84, is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Boy Scout Troop 84 is sponsored by St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Jo Abrom has been teaching music for over 30 years. Abrom’s journey in the worlds of both music and music education has taken the Stroudsburg native across the country and to Lancaster County, where she’s spent the past 25 years teaching the community’s future Broadway stars and aspiring church choir singers alike.

Abrom joined the singing group Re-Creation USA immediately after high school and performed across the United States for two years. Upon leaving Re-Creation, Abrom attended Susquehanna University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in music with a concentration in voice. After graduating from Susquehanna University, she attended Arizona State University and earned a master’s

degree in vocal performance and pedagogy, the method and practice of teaching. Abrom began teaching in Arizona at the age of 22 while she earned her master’s degree.

Abrom briefly lived and taught in New Jersey before finally moving to Lancaster in 1998 when her husband was hired as Lafayette Elementary School’s principal. Since the beginning of her teaching career, Abrom has continued her own education via conferences and other methods of exploring the art of singing. “I’m always in learning mode and trying to find new techniques,” said Abrom. “I want to bring the most current methods to my students.”

Abrom currently teaches at Sight & Sound’s conservatory in Ronks in addition to teaching private lessons through Abrom Vocal Studio, located just off Harrisburg Pike in Hempfield School District, and she worked as the Fulton Theatre’s music director for five years. Abrom’s students

range from preschoolers to senior citizens, and many of her students are performers in local productions at Sight & Sound, Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre and Fulton Theatre. Abrom also teaches actors in school plays, singers in local bands, students looking to study classical theater in college and those who simply wish to sing in their church choir. “There’s a wealth of musical experiences for people to take part of in (Lancaster),” said Abrom. “It’s so exciting

because everyone comes to lessons for a different reason.”

In 2020, Abrom wrote “College Audition Success! A Survival Guide For Musical Theatre and Voice Majors,” a book detailing key elements of the audition process and how to prepare for it. Abrom’s book is available for purchase on www.Amazon.com. “Every lesson is different and every voice is unique,” said Abrom. “I love taking a singer and helping them to grow and to be the best that they can be.”

Landmark Exhibit Opening Slated

Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D), 204 N. Prince St., Lancaster, will host the landmark exhibition “Arte de La Borinqueña.” The exhibition will be on display in the college’s Main Gallery from Tuesday, Jan. 17, through Friday, March 10.

The exhibition opening will be held on Jan. 17 at 5 p.m. and will include a talk with

Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez, an award-winning graphic novelist and creator of the superhero La Borinqueña. People of all ages are welcome.

Through the medium of a serialized comic, MirandaRodriguez has amplified and highlighted the importance of telling stories about Puerto Rico’s history, exploring present-day social and environ-

mental issues, and celebrating the diversity of the Puerto Rican diaspora. La Borinqueña launched in 2016 under Miranda-Rodriguez’s studio, Somos Arte, where he serves as creative director and is a noted philanthropist.

The opening event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.pcad.edu.

Church, Preschool Collect Items For Cancer Patients

St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and St. Peter’s Preschool began a community service project in October 2022 to benefit Thrive and Grit, a program started by some St. Peter’s Preschool staff members after the loss of a family member to breast cancer. Thrive and Grit aids the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute.

The church and preschool collected items, which were

sorted into more than 100 goodie bags for patients undergoing cancer treatment. The items were delivered to Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute in mid-December 2022.

The church and preschool will continue to collect items for Thrive and Grit, and community members may drop off items at any time. The church is located at 10 Delp Road, Lancaster.

CYCLES

Bicycle Club Grant Program Posted

The Lancaster Bicycle Club’s grant program provides funds to support bicycle-related activities and initiatives in Lancaster County. In 2023, the Lancaster Bicycling Club will provide $30,000 in grants.

Grants will be made at the sole discretion of the Lancaster Bicycle Club. Grant funds primarily come from the net profits of the club’s annual Lancaster Covered Bridge Classic ride, which is held each August.

Grants can be requested by

municipalities, schools, and nonprofit organizations for four primary reasons. Grants are available to improve the bicycling experience in Lancaster County, including items like bicycle repair stations, signs, and markings; for repair or maintenance of bicycling features like trails and covered bridges; for bicyclists’ rights and safety advocacy; and to promote bicycling in the county.

Applications are due by Tuesday, Jan. 31. To learn more and apply, visit www.lancaster bikeclub.net.
