YS Pride 2006-06 - York Suburban School District

Volume Eight, Number 5
YS – Home of State
Swimming Champions
York Suburban High School swimming coach
Dick Guyer can be mighty proud. He and his team
of eight swimmers brought home this yearʼs PIAA
Boys Class AA Swimming Championship title.
It is Dickʼs first boys team championship in his 38
years of coaching at York Suburban.
“It was a wonderful experience,” Dick says, “a
coming together of a group of boys.” The team had
been to stateʼs last year. “They saw
what it would take to win this year,”
he noted. “They made personal
sacrifices” worked hard and were
mentally prepared for this year.
He said the “overwhelming reception (the boys) received from their
Harry Foster
peers when they returned is something they will never forget.”
The team is made up of Matt Appleby, Joe Bentz,
Jason Durs, Harry Foster, Alex Grubbs, Chris Manning, Dan Marsteller and Kevin Marsteller. Only three
of the boys are seniors.
The prospects look good for 2006-07. With five
of the championship team members returning next
school year, Coach Guyer says, “We have the core of
kids who know and understand” what it takes to win
a state title.

An arc of caps fill the air at the conclusion of commencement ceremonies.
197 Awarded YS Diplomas
Under a cloudy, late afternoon sky that brought a brief shower, 197 York
Suburban High School seniors were awarded their diplomas during the June 8
outdoor commencement ceremonies.
Held on Dick May Field, the graduates were seated on the infield of the track
as their family members and friends filled the stadium stands.
The students and guests were welcomed by Katherine Williamson, President
of the Student Council. Kelly Trattner, Vice President of the Class of 2006, offered a moment of reflection at the ceremony and York Suburban School Board
member Richard Evans brought greetings from the board.
Other speakers included:
Joshua Weinstein, Valedictorian; Kevin Morrison, Salutatorian; Allison Myers,
President of the Class of 2006; and Stephen Hildebrand, President of the National
Honor Society.
Administrators taking part in the commencement program were: Dr. Michele
Merkle, Principal; Julie A. Frey, Assistant Principal; and Dr. William R. Hartman,
Jr., Superintendent.
YS Adopts $37,294,982 Budget
More used to being in a pool than in a tree, members
of the Pennsylvania AA Division Boys Swim Team are:
Front, Dan Marsteller; second row, from left, Jason Durs,
Kevin Marsteller, and Matt Appleby; top row, from left,
Chris Manning, Joe Bentz, and Alex Grubbs. The eighth
member of the team, Harry Foster, was unavailable for
the photograph because he was competing in another
swimming competition.
The York Suburban School Board has adopted a budget of $37,294,982 for
the 2006-07 school year. The current yearʼs budget is $34,111,128.
The new budget calls for a 9 percent increase in school taxes to 16.834 mills.
The millage rate reflects a countywide reassessment that took place last year.
Prior to reassessment the tax was 18.57 mills. After the property reassessment
process, a millage rate of 15.43 would have been revenue neutral for this year.
Taxes on a property in the York Suburban School District valued at $100,000
would be $1,683.
Major increases in the budget are related to increased healthcare costs, contractual salary obligations and state-mandated programs.

Clarabeth
Grossman
Scholarship
Created
A York Suburban Dollars
for Scholars Fund has been
established in memory of
Clarabeth Grossman, a long
time member of the York Suburban staff.
Clarabeth lost her courageous,
two-year battle against ovarian
cancer in May.
Contributions to the fund
can be made by using the Dollars for Scholars form on this
page.
The names of donors will
appear in the next issue of YS
Pride.
Prior to the meeting,
the administration had reduced the original budget
proposal by $152,626.
The board voted to have
the administration reduce
the spending plan by an
additional $167,667 before the final votes were
cast.
The finalized budget
will leave the district
with a fund balance of
$1.2 million.
A number of public
meetings on the budget
were held prior to its approval on May 22.
In addition to the
budget, the board also
approved a $5,000,000
bond issue. The money
will be used for capital projects, including
renovations to Dick May
Field at the high school.
Teen Blogs
Do you know what
your children are reading
on their home computers?
Ken Mueller, of the
Center for Parent/Youth
Understanding, asked
that question at a meeting
of parents and faculty at
the York Suburban Middle School.
Ken spoke to the parents about the many different websites that their
children may be using
and gave them suggestions on how to make
their children safe when
they are on the internet.
Springettsbury Township Police Sgt. Jason
Coyle also warned the
audience about the danger
of blogs and websites.

Alumni – Once Again
– Win YS Volleyball
Tournament
The annual D.J. Lucius Boysʼ Volleyball Alumni
match was held on Friday, March 17, 2006. After a
narrow win last year, the alumni rallied and 10 former
players returned to join former head coach Bob Laird
to battle the 2006 Varsity team.
The Varsity team is ranked in the top 20 in Pennsylvania and the alumni had their work cut out for them.
For the second year in a row, the alumni squeaked out
a fifth game victory, 19-25, 27-25, 25-19, 20-25, 1512. The Varsity members were very excited to play
so well against a quality veteran team and will apply
what they learned into their season.
York Suburban teacher Jamie Evans, who coordinated the event, thanked the alumni who came
back to support the program, see old teammates, and
experience a fun night of volleyball. He extended
an open invitation to all volleyball alumni for next
yearʼs match, which will be held on Friday, March
16, 2007.
Alumni team pictured left to right: Bret Young
(ʻ04), Adam Walton (ʻ02), Brent Whitehead (ʻ00),
Ben Zimmerman (ʻ93), Dr. Ryan Mathur (ʻ92),
Chris Rudisill (ʻ91), Scott Kraft (ʻ98), Jon Schuhart
(ʻ00), Chris Dinkle (ʻ93), Pete Lehmyer (ʻ03),
retired head coach Bob Laird with son, Colin.

CTC Variety Show
The Second Annual York Suburban CTC
Community Variety Show will be presented
on the York Suburban High School stage on
Saturday, November 18.
Planning has begun and more information will be available when school resumes
in the fall.
York Suburban High School students, who studied CAM/CAD design at the
Advanced Skills Center in the afternoons of their school day, are shown with
last yearʼs robot. The students are: Jesse Payne, Derrick Bass, Aaron Rivard
and Vlad Panchenko.
Robotics Team Wins Regional
Honors With Help from
YS Students
Four York Suburban High School students assisted a local Robotics Team in
winning several regional awards this spring.
York Suburban seniors Jesse Payne, Derrick Bass, Aaron Rivard, and Vlad
Panchenko attended the Advanced Skills Center CAD/CAM program in the afternoon and used their knowledge to help design the robot created for the York
High Robotics Team.
Other Advanced Skills Center high school students then used their mechanical
training to construct the components and weld together the pieces of the robot,
which was entered in the regional and national competitions.
The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition for Science and Technology)
Robotics Competition is a nationwide competition that teams professionals and
young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive
way. The competition gives young people the opportunity to design, build, and
program their own autonomous mobile robot to compete against other teams both
regionally and nationally. The program has been described as a life-changing,
career molding way for high school students to explore the worlds of technology
and science, and most importantly, have lots of fun while learning.
Team 225 is sponsored by William Penn High School. The Advanced Skills
Center supplies its facilities and resources to assist the students in all phases of
the robotics program. All of the students are incorporated directly into Team
225.
The York High team won the “Innovation in Control Award” at a Trenton, N.J.
competition. “The award celebrates an innovative control system or application
of control components to provide unique machine functions,” according to Bill
Brenner of the Advanced Skills Center, located on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The team also won the Autodesk Visualization Award at the Chesapeake Regional competition, held at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. The award
recognizes excellence in student animation, which was created by the York Suburban members of the team.
A demonstration of the robot was presented at a recent meeting of the York
Suburban School Board.
