Chargers Set Recordsat Nationals

by Anthony Addlesberger, Head Swim Coach

I knew we were going to swim fast before the seasoneven started. Some team members began practicing twoweeks before the summer season even started while otherstrained separately for voluntary meets. Our numbers wereup an incredible 40 percent with 20 new swim-mers, and excitement was almost tangible inthe pool.

At nearly every meet, the kids dropped timeduring the season. It didnt matter if theywere rst-year or tenth-year swimmers; they

were getting better every meet. We took ourtop swimmers to two Long Course Invitationalswith over 90 top swimmers in the Mid-Atlanticregion. There, we set 22 team records, broke2 meet records, and won multiple races. withover 90 of the top swimmers in the Mid At-

lantic entered. We qualied six swimmers forNationals: Jordan Metz, Kevin Shivers, Eli Fi-erer, Daniel Callis, Marget Shelly, and Danielle Pong. We seteight team records at YMCA Nationals.

Our age group swimmers either went to Junior Olympics orISL All-Stars for their championships. The kids swam fastand all dropped time, some even winning races. Most im-

portantly, the kids had a blast and will carry the experienc-es with them for a lifetime!

Mr. Rogers. Hot RodHundley. Tony Hawk. Dr. Phil.Janet Evans. Bob Newhart.

A Sesame Street star, anNBA star, a pro-skate-boarder, a T.V. personali-ty, an Olympic swimmer, anda comedian have more incommon than fame. They all

have ties to the YMCA.

Surely it is no coincidencethat several inuential lead-ers in America have emergedfrom a place with high stan-dards and strong values.Some of these individu-als grew up in the Y while

others attended summercamps. A few played on in-tramural sports teams andothers worked out there.

For over 150 years theYMCA has produced lead-ers that have positive-ly impacted the world.The YMCA in the subur-

ban town of Chambersburg,Pennsylvania, does exact-ly that.

Meet Emily Crider: throughher YMCA experience shesbeen a volunteer, a babysit-ter, a substitute teacher, acollege graduate, a summer

camp counselor, and a tutor.Emily started at the YMCAwhen she was six and is nowteaching and counseling thesame camps she was oncea part of. She has gradu-ated college and throughher positive experiences at

the YMCA she has chosen

to become an elementaryschool teacher. Although nota president or an Olympicmedalist, Emily has achieveda title as a positive leader inher community.

Emilys rst experience with

the YMCA came through el-ementary school classmateswho simply said, The YMCAis where the fun is!

Her parents decided to takeher to the after-school pro-grams because the YMCAseemed like it had an excit-

ing, positive environment for

their daughter. Not once didher family regret their deci-sion. Emily ourished at the

Y. I loved getting to meetpeople even though I wasshy. Being at the Y got meto break out of my shell so Icould be a part of this com-munity, Emily stated.

However, it was not just thenew friends that broughther here. The outstandingreputation and core valuesof the YMCA drew her - andkept her - there. The YMCAprovided her with camps andactivities that had the right

environment: teaching re-sponsibility for ones ac-tions, respecting others, andbeing a constant role model.Emily also found it encour-aging that the YMCA sharedand encouraged her ownChristian values.

Emily continued by explain-

THE YMCA MAKES LEADERS.By Brandon Smith

Its hard to formgood relationshipswith people like youcan with those at

the Y.

ing how kids from all walksof life have been changed bycoming to the Y. Kids learnto make the right choic-es, especially if they comehere. She stressed how the

Y reinforces its Christianmorals on the youth.Coming to the YMCA is notlike having a babysitter thatdoesnt care what you getaway with. Theres account-ability here.

One of the most challeng-ing and rewarding parts ofworking at the YMCA waslearning to work with dif-ferent kinds of people.Working with different per-sonalities creates a teamenvironment, she explained,and provides children with

clearly dened roles, allow-ing them to work togeth-er to accomplish a positiveoutcome.

The Ys positive environmenthad a huge impact on Emily.She began serving the YMCAin 2002 by volunteering atthe age of 12 until she was

old enough to join the staffin August of 2005. Emilybecame more comfortablewith leading others, and itwas there she honed herleadership skill. I learned

more about social interac-tion that I would not havelearned in a classroom, shesaid with enthusiasm.

Emilys supervisor CarlaHaller, the director ofMarketing and Membershipat the Chambersburg Y, notonly left a deep impres-sion on her, but Emily haddone the same to Carla.Ive worked at the Y for 25years, Haller explained,and it feels great to seesomeone grow as much asEmily has. I watched a shy

little girl turn into a com-passionate, mature younglady. Knowing the Y played ahuge part in that makes melove my job even more.

Emily went on to describeher experiences at the Y:There was no single life-al-tering event at the YMCA;

its the environment thatchanges you. Nowhere elseis there a place that youexperience responsibili-ty or respect hands-on. Youcan learn about respect

in school, but its uncom-mon for kids to apply lead-ership qualities outside ofthe classroom. At the YMCA,you see the kids are differ-ent from the moment youwalk in the front doors andthey learn to accept one an-

other.Even after graduatingShippensburg Universitywith a degree in ElementaryEducation, Emily continuesto spend her time workingat the Chambersburg YMCA.You cant form good rela-

tionships with people likeyou can with those at the Y.Thats why I like it here.

Getting children to eat better is notalways the easiest of tasks. As a kid,even I would opt out of the more avor-ful meals, like chicken cordeon bleu withrice, for a grilled cheese. Salads? Aspar-

agus? Forget about em!

However, I was blessed with parents thatwanted to see me eat right by simplethings like packing mini-carrots in mylunch or having peanut butter and celeryas a snack when I got home instead ofHot Pockets and Oreos.

While learning to identify and choosehealthful foods, kids today can take astep in the right direction with the guid-ance of you - their superhero parents.

The program is novel, engaging, andefcient, imparting crucial information in

minimal time. Additionally, It can be pre-

sented in a variety of engaging ways.

Created by founding director of Yale Uni-versitys Prevention Research Center, Dr.David Katz, the Nutrition DetectivesTMprogram was made for K-5 children. Theprogram intends to inform them about

nutrition and health; associations be-tween poor nutrition and adverse healtheffects; assessment of food advertise-ments; food label interpretation; and

food selection. Also covered are the rea-sons we all tend to like certain foods andavors, and how the fun of eating and

good nutrition can be reconciled.

Nutrition DetectivesTM will be hostedfor the Before & After School Pro-gram this coming fall. Additionally, weare bringing in speakers from Womenin Need (WIN) educate the children onself-esteem, bullying, and more hot top-ics. If you are interested in helping yourchild develop into a healthy, strong kid,

sign them up by contacting Jen Gossert.
