Wagner, Millersville driving for spot in national tourney BY GEORGE DEIBEL
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. The 2023 Solanco High School graduate shot a 2-under par 70 to capture the Husky Spring Invitational hosted by Bloomsburg University at Frosty Valley Golf Links on April 17. See Wagner pg 11

Students earn art awards BY GEORGE DEIBEL

It can help with stress. I can utilize creativity to express

Something fishy about this IU13 job experience BY GEORGE DEIBEL
Te a m w o r k a n d c o m m unication. 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.

olanco 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.
