Kaylee Zimmerman Aims to Be Straight Shooter

Here’s how you become good at something. You commit to the undertaking. You repeat the act over and over and over again. You fine-tune, learn from mistakes and make adjustments. You surround yourself with support.

Of course, enjoying the pursuit is helpful as well.

Beyond good, Kaylee Zimmerman is an accomplished archer, one perhaps bordering on great.

“Archery is a fun sport,” said Kaylee. “If you want to get better you can if you have that determination. You just keep going and practicing. I put a lot of practice into it. If I have a bad score, I know I can do better. But it takes determination.”

During the first week of June, Kaylee, a rising freshman at Lititz Area Mennonite School (LAMS), successfully competed against some of the top archery shooters in her age group in the country at the National Archery in Schools Program (NASP) Open Championship in Myrtle Beach, S.C. She excelled in two events.

Kaylee fired a personal best score of 291/300 to finish third among 627 archers in the middle school girls’ division of the bullseye championship portion of the competition. In the 3D championship challenge, she compiled a 287/300 to place eighth out of 488 competitors.

Riley Houck loves soccer - the competitive energy, the familiarity, the relationships.

A dedicated college player, Houck initially viewed the Lancaster Inferno as a training tool, a vehicle for bridging seasons or a way to hone skills. But the way things have played out, she has come to see the local pre-professional women’s soccer club as a whole lot more.

“I think (the Inferno) has kind of taken on its own separate thing for me,” said Houck. “I think the Inferno, compared to college soccer, we talk about it being separate. College soccer is a fall sport; you’ve got to train over the summer, and (the Inferno) is a good way to keep your skill set up. But you’ve got to be able to adapt to different environments.”

Houck recently completed her second season as a goalkeeper

Lancaster CPR Trains People To Save Lives

BY JEFF FALK

Knowing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is kind of like having insurance. You hope you never have to use it, but there’s a peace of mind associated with knowing it’s there if you ever do.

The act of CPR is also one of the highest forms of respect and empathy that one human being can display for another.

“Because the investment of time and energy that it takes to learn it is very small, everyone should know it,” said Ken Brennan, an emergency medical technician (EMT), a CPR and first aid instructor and the owner of Lancaster CPR. “Everyone knows someone who’s going to need CPR. I think a lot of people feel if they need 911, they’re going to get help in seconds. But that’s not true. If a patient doesn’t survive long enough, emergency medical services can’t do their job.”

Located at 1248 W. Main St., Suite L-1, Ephrata, Lancaster CPR offers instruction in the life-changing and life-altering practices of advanced cardiac support, pediatric advanced life support, first aid and CPR. In association with the American Heart Association, Lancaster CPR primarily trains health care professionals, but it also offers instruction to groups, churches, businesses, organizations and individuals.

“We predominantly provide the training that health care workers need to do their jobs,” said Ken. “They need to be recertified every two years. Obviously, if you work in health care, the odds are much higher that you’re going to use it. Depending on what you do, you’ll probably use it twice in your life. For the

Church To Host Family-Friendly Run

A run, during which participants will be doused with a spectrum of colors, will take place at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church on Sunday, Sept. 7, with registration beginning at 11:45 a.m. Geared for families, the event coincides with the beginning of the Sunday school year.

During the event, participants will run a course through St. Peter’s grounds. With no winners or official times clocked, the event is designed to cater to people of all ages. Once the race is over, the fun will continue at the Finish Festival with food trucks and other fun family activities.

White T-shirts perfect for soaking up color are available for a set donation. For an additional

donation, people can receive a complimentary T-shirt and a swag bag. Only those who preregister are guaranteed a T-shirt.

Donations will support a charitable cause in the community that will be chosen by the youths participating in St. Peter’s Sunday school.

St. Peter’s Lutheran Church is located at 10 Delp Road, Lancaster. To be guaranteed a T-shirt, register by Wednesday, Aug. 20, at https://shorturl.at/LK29U or select “First Annual Color Run” on the calendar at www.stpeters lutheran.org.

For information about St. Peter’s worship services and other ministries of the church, visit the aforementioned website or call 717-569-9211.

There is a suggested donation for the event, and proceeds will benefit Triangle Therapeutic Riding Center in Reinholds. The ride is open to all motorcycles, trikes, Spyders, Jeeps, cars, trucks, and other types of vehicles.

For more information, call Scott at 717-572-5979.

Kaylee Zimmerman

“I felt like it was a really good experience,” said Kaylee, a 14-yearold resident of Clay Township and the Ephrata School District. “I didn’t expect to do as well as I did. I was surprised to see my name near the top at that tournament. Going in, I had a goal to get to 290 (in the bullseye competition), and I got that. But I also wanted to have fun and enjoy the experience of being at the tournament.”

“She has been one of the top Pennsylvania archers for the last few years,” said Justin Zimmerman, Kaylee’s dad and coach. “This year, we wanted to work on her form and see if we could get to that next level. It’s all about hard work and repetition, and she just started clicking. She actually had an awesome championship tournament with some of her best scores ever.”

June marked the third year in a row that Kaylee had qualified for the NASP Open Championships. It also capped a 2025 season during which she experienced varying levels of success at 25 prior tournaments.

“Archery is pretty important to me,” said Kaylee, who also competes in the sport of cross-country. “I’m good at it, and I enjoy doing it. I do it pretty much every day, unless I don’t have time or I want to take a day off. I just like the sport and all the connections I make in it. It’s one of the ways I get to connect with others.”

“She is kind of quiet when you first meet her,” said Justin of his daughter’s demeanor. “She doesn’t show her feelings or express them too often. With archery, it’s sometimes hard to know if she’s enjoying it or not. She’s a hard worker. She’s very stable. She’s very trustworthy.”

This past school year, Kaylee competed on a LAMS co-educational, interscholastic team coached by her father.

“It is a very difficult challenge to balance,” said Justin. “As a coach, I want to push her to get better. As a dad, I want her to have fun. There are times I have come up to her and said, ‘As your coach …’ There are other times I’ve said to her, ‘As your dad …’ At tournaments, when I watch her shoot, I have to encourage her. When there’s a bad shot, I have to make sure my parental emotions don’t come out and affect my job as a coach.”

As an archer, Kaylee is now in the fifth year of a pursuit that began when she was in the fourth grade. At this point, she’s not quite sure where her archery journey will lead her.

“I don’t know. Over the next few years, I think I’ll figure it out,” said Kaylee. “When I was younger, I saw these better archers. I wanted to get up there with them, and I’ve always had the determination. I’m a lot better now than I used to be. I used to be in the 250s, and now I’m in the 280s.”

Shop for Free at God’s Clothing Closet

God’s Clothing Closet will feature free items for people of all ages.

BY CAT SHANNON

“This is a great way to get some new-to-you clothing,” said Kris Gray, describing God’s Clothing Closet.

“You don’t have to be ‘needy.’ Everybody is welcome.”

The 25th annual God’s Clothing Closet, featuring free clothing, footwear and accessories for people of all ages, will be held on Friday, Aug. 22, and Saturday, Aug. 23, at Ruhl’s Church, 4810 Elizabethtown Road, Manheim. Friday’s event will be held from 3 to 6:30 p.m. by appointment only. On Saturday, the giveaway will

be open from 8 to 11 a.m., and no appointment is necessary. To make an appointment for Friday, call the church office at 717-665-3400 and leave a message if after business hours.

Organizers of the event encourage people to consider reserving a shopping time.

“We want to make sure families who need clothes for kids to go back to school make an appointment for Friday,” Gray shared. “By Saturday, we still have a lot of stuff, but a lot is picked over.”

general public, I’d say the odds are one in 100 that you’re going to use it. But when you’re dealing with a large group of people, heart attacks are going to be more common.”

Lancaster CPR offers first aid training at its full classroom facility three days a week. The organization also offers on-site training for corporations or nonprofits.

Typically, Lancaster CPR’s class sizes range from six to 30 individuals.

“Let’s say you find someone on the ground,” said Ken. “The first thing you have to do is make sure it’s safe for you. Then you tap the person on the shoulder, and if they don’t respond, you call for help, get someone to call 911 and try to get an AED (automated external defibrillator). You might check their breathing, and you might check their pulse. If you have to, start doing compressions on their chest, and decide if you want to give breaths.”

“It’s easy to learn,” continued Ken. “What it comes down to is doing compressions on the chest. If you’re doing something that resembles compressions, the person’s chances are better than zero.

If you’re learning the basics of CPR, it only takes a half hour. But not everyone wants to learn to do this.”

One of the keys to successfully administering CPR is immediacy and a sense of urgency.

“There’s a very short window of opportunity, usually two to three minutes when someone goes into cardiac arrest,” said Ken. “The more people who know CPR, the more likely we’re going to be able to save lives. It should take less than 20 seconds to determine if CPR is necessary.”

“Among the general public, about one in 500 people have taken a course,” added Ken. “But if someone has been trained in CPR in high school, they don’t really know anything now. That’s why it’s

important to update it.”

Ken originally started teaching CPR at Lancaster General Hospital. After he left the hospital, he began offering CPR instruction on his own, before he and his wife, Ashley Brennan, founded Lancaster CPR in 2015.

“There was a lot of demand not being met, and that’s sort of how we got started,” said Ken. “I started doing it myself on the side. The classes were relatively successful, and we just went from there. The business success hasn’t changed because we were in the right place, at the right time, at the right location, under the right circumstances.”

for the Lancaster Inferno, which is headquartered at Suite 35, Rock Lititz Blvd., Lititz. The Inferno, which is made up of some of the finest women’s soccer players from across Lancaster County, competes in the Mid-Atlantic Division of the United Soccer League, Women (USL-W) and plays its home matches at Penn Medicine Park, which also hosts the Lancaster Stormers baseball team, at

“I’d say my role on the team is to definitely be a leader,” said Houck, a 2023 graduate of Conestoga Valley High School who lives in East Lampeter Township. “Our position as goalkeepers requires us to be the eyes on the field. We tell the other players what we’re seeing. We should be the loudest leaders on the field, even though we aren’t always engaged. We have a pretty loud voice that controls most of the game.”

“I think overall, we had a pretty good season,” continued Houck. “Our team this year was almost entirely made up of new players, so we had to build a new chemistry.”

The Lancaster Inferno went 4-5-1 in the USL-W’s Mid-Atlantic Division,

Event

a season that began in early May and concluded in late June. The USL-W is designed to be a proving ground for women’s soccer players looking to play professionally and a way for college players to remain active out of season.

“I love it because it supports women in sports,” said Houck. “Lancaster has always been a competitive soccer area. When I was young, we looked up to Inferno players. We wanted to be them. I love that we can be role models for young girls in sports. It’s just nice to be a part of something that’s building for women and young girls.”

After graduating from Conestoga Valley, Houck played one season of Division I women’s soccer at Fairfield

University in Connecticut. During this upcoming fall season, Houck, who’s pursuing a career as a physician assistant, will be a member of Lock Haven’s Division II squad, which competes in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.

“I’ve always experienced soccer as an outlet,” said Houck. “Soccer has never judged you, and it’s always been there for you. It provides so many opportunities. I’ve always been social, and you always get different kinds of relationships. It’s a different closeness. (Fellow players) understand you in ways other people don’t. I love the sport. That’s why I have to keep going.”

Houck started playing soccer when she was 4, and as she grew into it,

To Honor Former Coach

Lancaster Bible College, 901 Eden Road, Lancaster, will host “A Night With Anthony Robles: Honoring the Legacy of Robert ‚ÄòBob’ Derr” in the Good Shepherd Chapel on Friday, Aug. 15, from 7 to 9 p.m. NCAA wrestling champion

Anthony Robles will speak about his journey and honor longtime wrestling official Bob Derr. Born with only one leg, Robles overcame the odds to win the NCAA’s 125-pound title in 2011, and Bob was the referee who raised Robles’ arm in victory. Bob was known not only for his work as a wrestling coach and referee, but also for leading the Warwick field hockey program to 630 career wins and three state titles. Bob passed away in November 2024.

In addition to Robles’ stories, state Sen. Scott Martin will make a presentation to Kathy Derr honoring Bob’s legacy. Jessica Shellenberger, who was coached by Derr on Warwick’s field hockey team before playing at the University of Michigan and winning a national

SAFE STORAGE LIVES Saves

Protecting children starts at home. Secure your firearms to prevent tragedy.

In Lancaster County, firearms are the leading cause of suicide death among children. Nationally, they are the number one cause of pediatric death. Even when warned, children are naturally curious—and that curiosity can be fatal. Studies show that suicide rates are four times higher in homes with firearms. But there’s something you can do: store firearms safely.

• Always keep firearms in a locked safe or lockbox.

• Ensure they are unloaded and secured.

• Store ammunition separately and securely.

• Use cable locks or gun cases to prevent unauthorized access.

the game required four two-hour practices a week and multiple games in season. At one point, she was both a goalkeeper and a field player, before eventually gravitating to the position that her father once played.

“Since I was playing Division I soccer, I wanted something to push me,” said Houck of her 2024 season with the Lancaster Inferno. “I thought it was going to be a good way to play competitive soccer. After the first year, I got so close to the girls and the coaches. They’re like my family. It would’ve been hard to walk away after my last game. That’s what made me want to come back for my second year.”

Closet

from pg 2

Along with clothing and accessories, God’s Clothing Closet will feature household goods, including dishes, vases, towels and bedding.

A table will be set up featuring free devotional materials and Bibles, and a table of secular books will also be available.

Last year, the event served just over 600 shoppers, up more than 160 from the previous year.

It takes a village to pull off the event, with volunteers donating hundreds of hours of their time to set up and clean up. Volunteers also receive and sort donations yearround at the church.

Donations are accepted any time in a bin outside the church, but donations will also be received specifically for God’s Clothing Closet beginning on Monday, Aug. 18. Donations may be left under the covered porch at the church, and labeling the bag with the size and type of clothing is helpful.

“We can always use kids’ clothes, especially larger kids’ clothes, as well as maternity clothes and extra-large sizes 2X, 3X and 4X in men’s and women’s clothing,” Gray shared. She encourages people seeking specific size clothing to make an appointment to shop on Friday.

Any leftover clothing is donated

to Jubilee Ministries in Manheim, and last year, some items were given to the drama club at Manheim Central High School. Shoppers at last year’s event also donated six boxes of food for the Manheim Central Food Pantry and $142 in cash to purchase more Bibles.

“This event is a great way to get good, free clothing,” said Barb Dunmire, who helps to organize God’s Clothing Closet. “We even receive donations that still have the tags on them.”

Gray explained that the inspiration for the giveaway came from another service project of the church. For years, church members collected clothing to donate to a mission in Appalachia, but the expense of sending the clothing added up. When Gray started talking to local families that participated in a meal giveaway at the church, she realized the church could make an impact in its own community.

“This is a way we can be the hands and feet of Jesus to the community, a way we can serve,” she said. “We feel honored to be able to do it. It’s a joy for our church to do it. We enjoy it, and we love all the people who visit.”

Proceeds from the Golf Classic directly support innovative classroom programs and enrichment opportunities for Warwick students in kindergarten through grade 12. Since 1997, Warwick Education Foundation has given more than $4 million to benefit Warwick students. Golfers and sponsors can register at www.warwickef.org/golf.
