In less than 15 minutes, Pennsylvania National Guard Spc. Ryan Whispell jabs five people in the arm with a second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
He zips through the standard medical questions, occasionally stumbling when he asks which arm the patient prefers only to notice a rolled up sleeve.

Whispell is one of about 50 Guard members working at the Lancaster County Community Vaccination Center. But while other reservists hail from across the region, Whispell lives here in Lancaster County.

Monycka Snowbird, left, argues against keeping the Cheyenne Mountain Indians mascot with a supporter, who declined to give her name, outside the Cheyenne Mountain School District 12 board work session in the fall of 2020.

Supporters of the mascot said the Indians mascot was an honor and full of school tradition. About 50 people lined the street outside the school district’s administration building.
