Riley Houck’s Passion for Soccer Burns With the Inferno 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 Riley Houck warms up for a Lancaster soccer club as a whole lot more. R120614

“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 Knowing cardiopulmonar y 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
ere’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. See Kaylee Zimmerman pg 2
