A Spring Mix of Thoughts

Iwant to begin this week with a happy Saint Patrick’s Day; whether you’re Irish for the day or Irish for a lifetime, please get out and about and enjoy all our area has to offer. I must also add that if you’re partaking in adult beverages, please do so responsibly. Don’t allow a little sharing of the Irish spirit, or maybe I should say spirits, to get your spring off to the wrong start.

As on most days or seasons of celebration, I always look forward to the food. This is the case with St. Paddy’s Day, which, this year, coincides with the beginning of the Lenten season. I have been a beyond healthy eater since I faced some health issues about a year ago. I have eaten way too much spring mix, and I’m surprised there were any leftovers to use in my title. I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to my mother-in-law Theresa’s corned beef and cabbage to celebrate the green and some of those wonderful fried fish dinners on Lenten Fridays. A note to Theresa: please hold the salt level down. I know this is a problem for you, like many Italian ladies, and I must avoid it. As far as the Friday fish dinners, many can be found in the pages ahead. What

a great way to support the fire department or church of your choosing. Yes, I’m not supposed to have fried food either; please don’t tell my doctors. The truth is, I need a little fix since the fire at Long John Silver’s; it is one of those things I have treated myself to once in a great while. Don’t worry, I’ll be using their malt vinegar on my takeout fish dinner. There will be no spring mix found on that plate. Depending on where I get it — hopefully, there’s some macaroni and cheese and maybe some stewed tomatoes and coleslaw.

As our cover says, our annual Spring Home Improvement Guide can be found within our pages this week. A tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American flag on the side to your friendly neighborhood postal carrier. They take care of the heavy lifting of getting this to your mailbox. This is one of our largest issues of the year, and we appreciate the effort required to deliver 58,000 copies. I thank all the businesses that are found within our Spring Home Improvement Guide for putting their trust in our direct mail publication to get their word out. It is something we look forward to doing at my office — and even mark the calendar by — along with our Fall

Home Improvement and Holiday gift guides. The working together with local businesses to provide the best services and products only strengthens the community. As you know, I’m a big believer in buying locally and using the services of those who are the foundation of the area’s economy.

There are 40 pages of professionals to help you with the spring mix of projects that lie ahead. If you’re old school like me, it always finds its way into my junk drawer in case of emergency. Like every issue of the Webb Weekly, the guide can be found and archived at webbweekly. com.

I’ll finish up this week with a spring mix of reminders. The Raise the Region fundraiser takes place March 12th and 13th. Thank you to the Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships and the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania for their efforts and generosity regarding this amazing project. It may be taking place as you read this; for more information, visit www.fcfpartnership.org, www.raisetheregion. org, or call 570-321-1500. It is that time of year — whether it’s St. John Neumann Regional Academy or

your local school district — to register your child for kindergarten and to start thinking about the 2025-26 school year. Please don’t wait till the last minute to accomplish this. I wonder how many show up on the first day of school to register? Please help to avoid that stress. I’ll close with something I have seen a lot lately: four-legged creatures of God that need a good home. Spring is a good time to adopt that fur baby of your choosing. Editor Steph does a great job working with LAPS and the SPCA each week, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so many cats needing a home. I understand cats aren’t for everybody, nor are dogs for that matter. But if you’re looking for the pitter-pat of little paws and don’t have the room for a canine, a cat can make a great family member. This especially holds true for a person who lives alone and can use a little love in their life.

We currently have three four-legged family members who came via the rescue route. Leia, the long-haired calico cat; Finn, the big yellow lab from Franklin Street; and granddog Buck from the SPCA, also known as Stinky. All have different stories and have added nothing but love and joy to our home. Maybe it’s time for another addition? Hope you all have a great week. God Bless America.

Avoiding Scams

Igot a phone call this week from a woman named Jenny Golden. And Jenny was asking for help. She needed a voice and a platform, so I o ered to help.

Jenny’s Facebook pro le was hacked, and unfortunately, that resulted in friends and strangers alike getting scammed out of money and leaving Jenny on the hook.

Here’s what happened in what has become a more and more common scam. Jenny’s prole got hacked, and she was locked out of her account. e hacker then made a post that looked like Jenny was selling a lot of stu — appliances, cars, household items, etc. e hacker then ‘sold’ the items, o en to people who Jenny knows took their money and then ghosted.

Obviously, the person controlling the pro le isn’t Jenny, but suddenly, the real Jenny has people she knows looking for their money or items — neither of which she has.

Again, because Jenny no longer has access to or control of her pro le, there is literally nothing she can do to stop it.

I’ve seen others get caught up in similar situations, and unfortunately, Meta is little to no help in xing the problem. O en, the only thing you can do is abandon the pro le and start again. O en losing YEARS’ worth of photos, memories, and more!

So, what can we do to stay safer online — especially on Facebook? Here are some tips.

1. Recognize Common Scams — Scammers are constantly evolving their tactics, but here are some of the most common scams:

Phishing Messages –Scammers send messages that appear to be from Facebook or other trusted sources, asking you to click on a link and enter your login details.

Fake Giveaways – “Congratulations! You’ve won a free iPhone!” If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Steph Nordstrom

Investment Scams – Beware of messages promising huge returns on Bitcoin or other investments with little e ort.

Romance Scams – Scammers pose as love interests to gain your trust and then ask for money.

Impersonation Scams – Someone pretends to be a distressed friend or relative, asking for urgent nancial help.

Fake Job O ers – Scammers post bogus job opportunities requiring you to pay for training or supplies upfront.

2. Protect Your Account — Taking proactive security measures can prevent scammers from targeting you:

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) –is adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code and your password.

Use Strong Passwords – Avoid easily guessed passwords like “123456” or “password.”

Be Cautious with Friend Requests – Scammers o en create fake pro les to befriend and scam users.

Check Your Privacy Settings – Limit what publicly visible information is on your pro le.

Monitor Account Activity – Regularly check your login history for any suspicious activity.

3. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links – Scammers o en use malicious links to steal credentials or infect your device with malware. Be wary of:

Links sent from unknown contacts or pages. Messages urging you to act quickly to avoid losing access to your account.

Emails or messages claiming to be from Facebook asking for personal details.

4. Verify Before You Trust — Before engaging with any o er, message, or request, take a moment to verify its legitimacy:

Search Online – Google the o er or message to see if others have reported it as a scam. Contact the Person Directly – If a friend messages you about an emergency, call them to con rm. If they seem to be suddenly selling o their worldly possession for way too cheap — be suspicious.

5. Report and Block Scammers — If you suspect a scam, take action: Report the Scam to Facebook – Use the platform’s reporting feature to ag suspicious accounts, posts, or messages.

Warn Others – Let friends and family know about scams you’ve encountered so they can avoid them, too.

Scammers use deception and urgency to trick people into giving away personal information or money. Always remember: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is!

If the scam seems to be coming from someone you personally know, reach out o social media to double-check if things are legit.

Peyton Dincher 2,000 Point Basketball Player For the Ages

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Through the years, Lycoming County’s high schools have produced some high-flying and high-scoring girls’ basketballers, but perhaps none has been as distinguished as the Jersey Shore Bulldogs’ Peyton Dincher.

In her recently completed high school career, she scored more than 2,000 points, a total that is to be celebrated for sure. She will take her talents to Le Moyne College in New York State this fall.

Webb Weekly asked Peyton about her accomplishments and storied career, and what follows is what she told us uncut and unedited so that the readers could get an unfiltered idea of what she did and what she thinks about all that she has accomplished.

“Reaching 2,000 career points in a Jersey Shore Bulldogs uniform is something I never could have imagined when I first picked up a basketball. It’s an accomplishment that has taken years of hard work, perseverance, and sacrifice. I spent countless hours practicing in my driveway — through snow, rain, and heatwaves. Heck, I even played with a broken wrist, casted up because I was scared of losing time to improve,” Peyton said.

“Whether it was playing full court with the guys at the YMCA or practicing alone late into the night, I was always striving to improve. My brother Jay was a huge influence on my journey, always pushing me to be the best I could be, challenging me when I doubted myself, and motivating me to keep going even when things got tough. But this achievement isn’t just mine — it’s

a reflection of the people who’ve been with me every step of the way.

“I’m incredibly grateful to my coaches and teammates, both past and present, for their support and guidance. Without them, this milestone would not have been possible. And, of course, I owe everything to my parents, whose sacrifices and encouragement have been the foundation of everything I’ve achieved. They have always believed in me, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the way they’ve helped me get to this point.”

“When I was younger, I remember writing down my goals on sticky notes, and hitting 2,000 points was always one of them. To see that goal now come to life is something truly humbling, and while I’m proud, it’s hard to put into words the gratitude I feel.

“Throughout my time here at Jersey Shore, I’ve embraced the role of the underdog. I’ve always played for the love of the game, for the sheer joy of competing, and to show others — especially the young girls in

our community — that anything is possible if you work hard enough for it. I hope that by reaching this milestone, I can inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter how big they may seem. There are many people who have come before me and many who will come after, but to know that I’ve accomplished something no one else at this school has done is both humbling and motivating. It’s not about the points or the accolades; it’s about the journey, the growth, and the reminder that with faith, determination, and the support of those around you, anything is within reach.”

Checking Your Vitals: The Vocab. of Medicine

Last week, Webb’s Weird Words missed an opportunity.

We were looking at leptorrhine, one of several oddball terms from cult-fave novelist Charles Portis. Pronounced “LEPtuh-ryne,” this uncommon adjective means “having a long, narrow nose.”

But I forgot to note that this word uses the Greek base rhin(o), meaning “nose”; it’s found in words like rhinovirus (nasal illness); rhinoplasty (“nose job”); and yes, rhinoceros (from that animal’s impressive snout).

Joseph W. Smith III

ample: NECRO means “dead” (as in necromancer and necrophilia); and thus necrosis indicates cells or tissue dying in a diseased or abnormal fashion. ITIC and OTIC are, incidentally, the adjective forms of these endings.

HYPER means “over, excessive” (as in “hyperactive”), while HYPO means “below, less than normal”; thus a hypodermic needle goes below the skin—because DERM means “skin” (as in dermatologist, epidermis and even pachyderm [“thick-skinned”]). And now you can figure out what dermatitis means—right?

And suddenly, it occurred to me that a column on medical terms might be just what the doctor ordered.

Let’s say your physician diagnoses phlebitis. It would help if you knew that PHLEB means “vein,” while ITIS means “inflammation” (even if my spell-checker keeps changing that to “it is,” grrr); so you’ve got an inflamed vein! But of course, you still need to know where it is—and how to treat it.

Keeping in mind that I’m no doctor (though I am married to one!), here’s some aid in decoding those multisyllabic medical verbosities:

Whereas ITIS means “inflammation,” OSIS means “a condition or process”—usually one that’s diseased or abnormal. So for ex-

TOM(Y) is a common Greek base meaning “to cut.” It is found in the medical suffixes O(S)TOMY and ECTOMY, both of which require incision.

The former—as in tracheotomy and the dreaded colostomy—means putting in a surgical opening to drain or empty an area. ECTOMY, on the other hand—found in such well-known procedures as mastectomy and tonsillectomy—means surgical removal; and, since mast means “breast,” mastectomy involves removing some or all of that body part.

(On a side-note, the word atom, with the negative prefix a- [asexual, atheist, etc.], originally indicated something that “could

WORDS

not be cut”—since at the time, we thought there was nothing smaller!)

So with those prefixes & suffixes settled, here are some common Greek and Latin medical bases—together with the body part indicated. I will also provide, in parentheses, at least one sample word from that root—and related notes of interest.

ALG: pain (as in, neuralgia; sorry, math-haters: algebra does NOT comes from this root!). ARTHR: joint (arthritis). CARD: heart (cardiac). CEPH(AL): head (cephalopod; since POD means “foot”—as in podiatrist—that class of sea animals is so named because its tentacles are attached to the head!).

DERM: skin (taxidermy—literally “arranging the skin.”). GASTR: stomach (gastric). GER(ONT): old (geriatric). GYN(EC): woman (gynecologist). HEM(AT): blood (hematology). HEPAT: liver (hepatitis). HYSTER: uterus (hysterectomy; and yes, hysteria is also, sadly, derived from this: according to the excellent Online Etymology Dictionary, it was “originally defined as a neurotic condition peculiar to women and thought to be caused by a dysfunction of the uterus”).

IATR: doctor, medicine (psychiatrist). LEUC/LEUK: white (leukemia). MAST: breast (it’s vaguely possible that Amazon derives from this—again using the negative prefix a- to mean “without a breast,” since those formidable maidens of myth supposedly removed one to aid

in archery; so … what’s in your shopping cart?).

MELAN: black (melanoma). MENING: membrane (meningitis). NECR: dead (necrotic). NEPTH & REN: kidney (nephrology, renal). NEURO: nerve, nervous system (neurosis).

OLOGY, OLOGIST: study of, one who studies (psychology, cardiologist). OMA: tumor (hematoma). ONCOL: mass, tumor, cancer (oncologist). OPSY: examination (biopsy); this little unit comes from our next base here:

OPT/OPHTHAL: eye (optical, ophthalmologist). ORTH(O): straight (since ODONT means “teeth,” an orthodontist is, quite simply, one who straightens teeth!). OST: bone (osteoporosis).

PATH: pain, suffering (pathology, sympathetic). PED: child (pediatrician). PEP(T): digest, stomach (peptic—and yes, Pepto-Bismol). PHLEB: vein (phlebotomist). PLEG: paralysis (paraplegic). PSYCH(O): mind, mental (psychosis). PULM: lung (pulmonary).

SCLER(O): hard (multiple sclerosis). SOMA(T): body (psychosomatic). STEN: narrow, small (stenosis—and stenographer!). THROMB: clot (thrombosis). TROPH(Y): to grow (atrophy = “not growing”).

For further study, there’s a full and rather massive set of these building-blocks at Wikipedia (search “List of medical roots”). In the meantime, learn two of these and call me in the morning.

The Irish Have Always Been a Major Part of the Williamsport Scene

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

s we get ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 2025 with the shillelagh and shamrock, it is good to note that the Irish have been a part of the Williamsport area from its very beginnings.

The founder of Williamsport, Michael Ross, bears an Irish surname, even though it is reported he may have been born in Scotland.

Judge William Hepburn, the first president judge of Lycoming County and known as the “father of Lycoming County,” as well as the man responsible for making Williamsport the county seat of the new Lycoming County, was born in County Donegal, Ireland.

More humble sons and daughters of Erin came here during the early years of Williamsport and Lycoming County as well. They came here for the rich farmland; they came to toil on the digging of the West Branch Canal and helped build and work the fledgling railroads that were arising here.

But perhaps more importantly, they served as a major labor source during the development of the lumber industry, which firmly put Williamsport on the map.

They helped to cut the trees down, send

the timber down to the Susquehanna Boom, and worked in the many lumber mills that processed that rich supply of timber.

According to Christopher Norris, an official of the local division and a national official of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (A.O.H), many of those who worked in the lumber industry came from the southwest portion of Ireland, where there was still a good supply of trees, even after the English had stripped the rest of Ireland of trees and timber. These immigrants from the province of Munster found plenty of timber-related work for them here in Lycoming County and the Williamsport area.

Before about 1850, there was only a trickle of Irish immigrants to the area, but with the advent of the tragic “Potato Famine” in Ireland in 1845 and 1846, a flood of Irish immigrants came to America, and many of these came to this area and after they liked what they saw they wrote home to Ireland, encouraging friends and relatives to come here.

Like almost all major cities, the Irish took a leading role in public service, particularly as firemen and policemen. One of the earliest volunteer fire companies in Williamsport was the Hibernia Fire Company, located on Campbell Street. The men from that station wore green uniforms and had

their station painted green on the outside.

Charles Mahoney, a son of Irish immigrants and a proud member of the A.O.H., died while fighting a fire at the Hippodrome Theatre on the Linck Block on West Fourth Street on February 16, 1927.

Another son of Irish immigrants, James Spellisy died on September 24, 1910, on the way to a fire alarm that turned out to be a false alarm while driving a horse-driven fire vehicle when the horse pulling the vehicle reared up and threw Spellisy from the vehicle breaking his neck and causing a fatal injury to him.

The early days of the Williamsport police department from the 1860s through the 1920s were dominated by officers with Irish surnames, including Carney, Berrigan, Dunn, Flynn, Garvey, Mahaffey, Marley, McCaffrey, and McCarthy, just to name a few.

John P. Maloney, murdered in the line of duty on March 13, 1907, is probably the most notable of these “Sons of Erin” on the Williamsport Police Department. He was the son of Irish immigrants and was a policeman for five years at the time of his murder.

As part of the continued love and interest in public service, Daniel P. Kirby, the son of Irish immigrants, became the city’s mayor from 1976 to 1980, and another mayor of Irish descent to serve was Michael Rafferty, who served from 2001 to 2004. “Raff” was also the editor of Webb Weekly for several years.

Within the city of Williamsport, the Irish

families seemed to have been concentrated in Newberry, and the area bounded on the north by High Street, south to First and Second Streets toward the river until about the 1950s.

The Irish took the lead in forming their own Catholic parish when language and cultural differences arose between them and those of German heritage at St. Boniface Church. The Irish immigrants preferred not having their masses and church affairs conducted in German.

In 1871, they met at a property on West Edwin Street and, by the late 1880s, had acquired a property at West Fourth and Walnut streets and built what would become the Church of the Annunciation for about $60,000.

Later, they would build their own parochial school — St. Joseph’s.

When interscholastic sports became popular by the mid-20th century, one of the most highly anticipated events on the sports calendar were basketball games between St. Joseph’s and St. Mary’s, the other Catholic parochial school in the city before 1968. St. Joe’s was the “Fighting Irishmen,” and the St. Mary’s team was known as the “Dutchmen.”

The Irish immigrants and their descendants have been a part of the rich ethnic fabric of this city and continue to contribute to its growth and well-being today.

So, when you celebrate “The Wearin’ of the Green,” remember the positive and lasting impact the Irish have had on Williamsport and the surrounding area.

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

How to Style Wide-Leg Jeans

f

I know that wide-leg jeans can be intimidating if you’re not used to wearing them, which is why the high-rise style is crucial here. It hugs you in all the right places and creates some nice dimensions for the overall flattering silhouette. Here’s a rundown of how to style this chic denim shape.

Bernadette Ulsamer

One standard approach to styling a wide-leg pant is to pair it with a more fitted top to balance out the portion. A slim-cut tee tucked into a high-rise trouser-like jean is the perfect basis for a springtime look. Levi’s Ribcage High Waist Wide Leg Jeans is a solid option for this or any wide-leg jean outfit. The super high rise will beautifully define the waistline. I’d further emphasize that waistline with a leather belt. From there, you can layer a button-down,

cardigan, blazer, or all three. Then finish off with a fun, chunky sneaker like DSW’s Blowfish Malibu Leo Sneaker for a casual yet flattering look. Another surprisingly flattering way to style a wide-leg jean, like Zara’s High Rise Z1975 Full Length Wide Leg Jeans, is to tuck in a baggy sweater, which still defines your waist but creates a chicly slouchy silhouette. The right knit is key for this look. You don’t want anything overly stiff or chunky. Old Navy’s SoSoft Lite Loose V-Neck Sweater will pair elegantly with any higher-rise jeans and is easy to tuck and drape. Finish this look with a heeled boot and trench coat.

For an even more sophisticated highrise wide-leg jean outfit, check out Banana Republic Factory’s High-Rise Wide-Leg Jean in black. In a dark wash, this trouser-like jean lends itself to dressier looks. Wear a tuckedin, pretty statement top, like Shop The Mint’s Calling On You Tweed Blouse.

OUTFITS

With a pearl embellished neckline, all you’ll need jewelry-wise are stud earrings or a cocktail ring. Complete this look with pumps and a clutch bag for a night out.

From dark to light, cream or white wide-leg jeans can give your entire wardrobe a seasonal refresh, and you don’t have to wait until after Memorial Day to bust them out. You can elevate a jeans and blazer combo when you opt for a pair of white jeans. Lighter denim can be polished and sophisticated with a button-down shirt and heeled loafers. While an oversized leather jacket and suede boots are the perfect match to an off-white wide-leg jean. I’m eyeing up Levi’s Ribcage Bell Women’s Jeans in Disco Nights-White. While more flared than wide-leg, these vintage-inspired jeans will define the waist and lengthen the leg.

We have a few purchase options here, but when shopping for wide-leg jeans, it’s essential to consider several factors to find the perfect pair.

First, the rise. Now I’ve recommended higher-rises, but mid- and low-rise wider-leg jeans are out there. I prefer high to mid-rise for the most flattering fit.

Next, for petite individuals, I’d advise looking for jeans that are explicitly designed for heights of 5’5” and under. Proportions are key with wide-leg pants of any kind, not just jeans. So, while you may consider hemming/tailoring your denim, starting out with a petite jean will make it easier.

Also, keep fabric in mind. If you prioritize comfort and flexibility, opt for a pair with a bit of stretch. Look for styles rendered in a cotton blend for stretch while maintaining structure. Consider the weight of the material as well. Lighter-weight denim will be more comfortable for warmer weather, while heavier weights offer more structure and a substantial feel.

This silhouette is surprisingly flattering for many women, and a wideleg high-rise jean is the perfect component for transitional dressing this upcoming season. When thinking about how to style this denim silhouette, anything goes. Pair your wide-leg jeans with sneakers and tees, kitten heels and slinky knitwear, or boots and a button-down. The combinations are endless.

Montgomery’s Furman Dominates Girl’s 130# Class

By Dave Bellomo

To say that Zoe Furman is a force to be reckoned with on the girl’s wrestling scene would be an understatement. us far, the Montgomery junior has dominated and crushed every opponent she has faced this year, with all of her wins coming either by fall or technical fall.

For those of you who didn’t wrestle, this is highly rare and means that Zoe either pinned or mercy-ruled the opposition.

It is my opinion that Zoe will go far both in wrestling and in life, and her conduct in the face of adversity is a testimony of her grit and her upbringing from her parents. Oh, by the way, Zoe’s parents also happen to be her coaches. I reached out to Max, Jodi, and Zoe to see if there was something in the water or some other secret to their daughter’s success.

Dave: I was kind of amazed that both you and Jodi coached Zoe. Did you both have backgrounds in wrestling?

ter Jodi took him to the rst practice, she came home to let me know she signed me up as a coach. e next season, I was the head coach, and Jodi was the vice president of our program. Zoe began wrestling later that season. We had 27 kids in the program, and three of them were ours. By the time we turned the program over, as our kids moved into junior high, we had between 90-100 kids participating. Roughly 1 out of 7 kids in our elementary school were wrestling. Jodi also coached our tumbler room (kindergarten-1st graders who do not compete) for 3 years. Our program was also wrestling at a high level. We would routinely have Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling State Championship quali ers and play winners.

Max: Jodi grew up in a wrestling family. Both brothers and her father wrestled. I began wrestling in 8th grade. I wrestled two years of junior high and two years of varsity. I lost out on my junior year due to an ACL reconstruction.

We became involved in coaching when our oldest son, Trace, came home with a pamphlet for elementary wrestling. Af-

As our kids moved up to junior high, I volunteered as an assistant for both JH and Varsity. In April of 2022, our school board elected to sponsor a girls’ program. We were the 37th school in the state to do so. Jodi and I volunteered to coach them in the 2023-24 season, which was the rst o cial season. We had six wrestlers in our rst year of varsity. is year, we have 11. We also established a JH girls’ program with ve girls who participated throughout the entire season.

Dave: Zoe is thus far undefeated. Did anyone think that would happen coming o an injury last year?

Max: Zoe has had an incredible bounce-

LIVING WELL

back season after sitting out last year. Although she couldn’t compete at all last year, she helped her mother and I coach the team. She used it to get mental reps. That experience allowed her to step back on the mat with almost no rust. She finished 4th in the state at the MyHouse Girls State Tournament her freshman year and had close matches with the most elite girls in the state. She also achieved All-American status at the National High School Coaches Association Individual Tournament by placing 5th. We wrestled a rigorous schedule and attempted to travel to different parts of the state to find the best competition for our girls. Zoe has wrestled several return-

ing state-place winners and highly ranked girls. None of them earned even a point on her. The only point she has allowed was on a debatable interlocking call. Her dominance has been impressive, to say the least, but she still looks for opportunities to improve her craft every day in the mat room.

Dave: What’s it like doing so well as a junior?

Zoe: I’m just trying to stay focused and keep improving. There’s always more to achieve, but I’m grateful for where I am and excited for what’s ahead.

Dave: What were your biggest obstacles coming into the season?

Zoe: After dealing with shoulder sur-

gery, my main focus is staying strong, both physically and mentally. I’ve learned a lot through the recovery process, and now it’s about trusting the work I’ve put in and competing at my best. I’m just grateful to be back and ready to go.

Dave: What would you say are your biggest strengths?

Zoe: My biggest strengths are my work ethic and resilience. No matter the situation, I’m always willing to push myself and find a way to improve. I also think my ability to adapt to different situations gives me an edge, and I try to use that to my advantage every time I compete.

Dave: Are there any competitors that you are particularly concerned about or look forward to facing?

Zoe: There are a lot of great competitors

out there, and I respect all of them. But I do look forward to competing against the top athletes because those are the matchups that bring out the best in me.

Dave: At the time of this article you are undefeated, with all of your wins coming by fall or tech fall. Is that something you are growing to expect?

Zoe: I wouldn’t say I expect it, but I go into every match confident in my preparation and ability to score points. My goal is always to dominate and wrestle my best, and if that leads to falls or tech falls, then that’s a bonus. I hold myself to a high standard, so I step on the mat expecting to perform at my best every time. But I know every match is different, and I have to stay sharp and keep improving.

Max and Jodi: Women’s wrestling is the

fastest-growing sport out there, and we want to be ambassadors of the sport. Currently, there are over two dozen girls’ teams in the area. This is an opportunity for girls. Zoe has done clinics and mentors other young female wrestlers. Parents will ask her to work with their kids. She even got referee certified when she was injured and has refereed matches.

As a team, we go to a lot of tournaments to get mat time, as a lot of schools either still do not have teams or do not have female wrestlers. Then, during the post season we have the district tournament and regionals. There are five districts in the Northcentral region, which is also the largest geographic region in the state. After regionals, the four top girls from four regions move on to states with a bracket of 16 wrestlers.

Dave: Is post-season training different than pre-season or in-season?

Max and Jodi-Post-season training is all about fine-tuning. Practices are short, focused, and efficient. We mostly run drills with almost no live wrestling. The work has already been done, now we want the kids fresh and to peak at the right time.

Dave: Is there a difference in mindset between in-season matches and the big post-season tournaments?

Max: The energy is pretty much the same. Go out there and execute to the best of their ability.

Boy on Cliff Rescued on Fire Ladder

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Raymond Stiner, 18, of Cogan Station, is of the opinion that much can happen in 12 months. For instance, part of a stone quarry can be blasted away and removed.

e Cogan Station youth arrived at the conclusion the hard way — a er the re department had been called out to rescue him.

Late Sunday a ernoon he began to descend the face of the 175-foot cli in the back of Holmes Silk Mill in Newberry. It would be easy he assured himself. Only last year he had started at the top of the stone quarry and made his way safely to the bottom.

Slowly he inched his way downward, always careful to avoid stones that were coated with ice. One slip and he would go to the bottom, a fall which would at least result in serious injury and perhaps death.

A group of children began to form

around the bottom of the quarry to watch the show the 18-year-old was giving.

With 135-feet of cli above him and only 40-feet below, Stiner realized something was wrong. Stretching below him was a smooth expanse of stone which o ered not the slightest possibility of securing a toe or nger hold. It was not that way a year ago. ere had been no variation in the face of the cli then. To make things worse now sheets of ice had formed all around him.

Most of his energy spent, Raymond despairing, called for help to the children below. e children hailed Fred Nordstrom, of 1190 Park Avenue, who was driving in an automobile. Nordstrom called Fire Company No. 5 which relayed the call to Company 2, and the hook and ladder truck was sent to the scene.

As a growing crowd looked on the truck’s aerial ladder was swung into place and the stranded boy made his way to safety.

Andrea’s Home Cookin’…

Let’s

Spring into March

olks, it’s about

It’s just about here, and we can pretty much say winter is behind us. We just turned the clocks ahead, and the days are o cially getting longer.

It’s honestly hard to believe it’s March already.

What do you look forward to the most in spring? Something that just tells you, “Yup, spring is ocially here.”

Andrea McElroy

I just don’t love being at Wegmans and getting a text like that from my husband. Walking out of the store and looking up toward Jersey Shore-way and seeing nothing but black skies, knowing my sheets are owing in the breeze at home, about to get dumped on. I hurry to the car, load my groceries, and high tail out of there. Trying to get home as soon as possible without driving like a maniac.

It always seems as soon as I hit a mile or so from home, the raindrops start dropping on the car window. I dri into the driveway while quickly taking o my seatbelt. I jump out of the car like it’s on re and tear a** up the yard to our clothesline, where my upper body is running faster than my legs, and I am about to topple over. It’s truly a sight to see, honestly.

Seeing the rst robin? Smelling the rst lawn being mowed? Looking for that very rst ower bloom? I think mine is when we o cially hear the frogs chirping at night. It’s either Chris or I who get excited to hear them for the very rst time and then be the ones to tell each other. I love sitting out on the front porch listening to them when dusk turns into nightfall. You know what the McElroy family also loves? A good thunderstorm! We all have the radar app on our phones. (Kenzy has hers on her tablet.) On days we know storms are going to pop up, we all check out the app and then screenshot the size of the storm to one another.

“ is storm is going to be a bad one.” Chris will text me.

“Did you get the clothes o the line yet?”

Ah, another one of my favorite things when spring arrives. Hanging things out on our clothesline! Especially sheets.

I then grab my basket and see how fast I can pop clothespins o the line while just throwing the clothes into the basket without folding them. I won’t tell you where I shoved most of the clothespins to hold them at that moment! Bahaha!!! (You probably already guessed it if you truly know me.) Ain’t nobody got time to fold clothes when thunder is cracking, and you can smell the rain about to dump. Even though my OCD kicks in from just chucking shirts in the basket, at least I know they will be dry when I go in the house to fold everything and dump all

the clothespins out of my boulder holder. *Enter cheesy smile here*

See, when I hang everything on our clothesline, I hang all of Chris’s shirts together, and I hate to say it, but I do it by color. I don’t know why. I just do all the black, blue, gray, and brown shirts. en I hang all my shirts up next — dress shirts, t-shirts, then my tanks. I feel that as I fold them and take them down, they are easier to put away. I don’t know. ere’s just a method to my madness, okay?

Sheets, of course, are my absolute favorite, and I hang them out anytime I can.

My laundry in warmer weather literally revolves around the weather. Jeans and towels get done when it’s raining. (Who likes crunchy jeans hanging out on a clothesline anyways?) en shirts and sheets get done

on the nice days. It’s perfect. But once in a while, on those nice days, a storm can brew up. at’s the only downfall. ey make laundry detergent that smells like rain, so other than having the mess of saturated clothes, at least they will smell rain fresh right? It doesn’t happen too o en, but it does occasionally. It’s the cross we bear. Next week, we will continue our talk on spring. More thunderstorm talk. Weather apps and gardens. Maybe more chattin’ on where else you can hold clothespins in a hurry??

Sike. Just kidding on that part. See y’all next week you crazy critters!

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Tortellini with Chicken

COOKIN’

Ingredients:

• 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions:

Step 1: Cook the Tortellini

In a large pot of salted water, bring the water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini and 8-10 minutes for frozen. Once cooked, drain the tortellini and set it aside.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

While the tortellini cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes— season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Garlic

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Be sure not to let the garlic burn, as it can turn bitter.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

utes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.

Step 5: Combine Everything

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked tortellini and toss everything together to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth or some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning as needed.

Step 6: Serve

Add the heavy cream and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 min-

Transfer the creamy tortellini mixture to serving plates. Serve hot and enjoy!

Repasz Band Wagon: Ensemble Opens Fund Drive

Now nearly 200 years old, Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band has announced a new Endowment Fund to help the group continue its popular slate of free local concerts.

“Never before has the band’s existence to continue been directly threatened,” says Repasz treasurer and past president Nancy Eischeid.

“Previous to COVID, our 10-18 concerts every summer provided more than enough funds to cover annual expenses,” explains Eischeid, who has played with

the ensemble for more than 40 years.

“Since then, our summer schedule has dwindled to less than half a dozen. Combine that loss of revenue with the new cost increases of playing at the Community Arts Center, plus our preparations for the band’s bicentennial, and we find our current funds will not sustain us.”

“An endowment fund is created as a base for the future of a non-profit organization,” adds Repasz director Jeff Dent. “ The RBEF will establish a strong base

See REPASZ on Page 28

REPASZ

for future projects, allowing us to expand programming and develop new levels of musical performances for our musicians and our audience members.”

While Repasz is an all-volunteer, not-forprofit organization, the group has considerable expenses to cover during any given year. These include rent for their rehearsal facility in Montgomery; purchase of sheet music and insurance; publicity for concerts; transportation of instruments and equipment; supplies for the office and library—and, adds Dent, “the major annual cost of renting the Williamsport Community Arts Center for our admission-free concerts each December and April.”

“Williamsport’s Repasz Band is a national, historic treasure,” says Eischeid. “The band’s participation goes back to the beginnings of the Civil War, eventually performing during Lee’s surrender at Appomattox in 1865 and again, at the 150th anniversary of that event in 2015; it also includes presidential inaugural parades of Taft and Teddy Roosevelt, plus dedications of Grant’s Tomb in both 1897 and 1997.

“In 2017, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission gave Repasz its own historical marker, which is near

the Brandon Park Bandshell in Williamsport.”

Not only has the band performed numerous concerts at that locale—but also, they played there when it was first dedicated in 1913.

Suggesting that the endowment might best be called a “Band-Aid fund,” Eischeid urged music-lovers to send tax-deductible contributions to: Repasz Band, 117 West Hills Dr., Williamsport, PA 17701.

Happily, Eischeid observes, “The band recently received $126,500 to date, to jump-start our new endowment fund! We are fortunate to have long-time music enthusiasts who see the immense importance of this living local treasure.”

Dent adds that there are two other ways

to offer financial support for Repasz: Concert sponsorship at three levels (Solo, $5000; Duet, $2500; Quartet $1500), as well as the upcoming Raise the Region event on March 12-13—which is in collaboration with First Community Foundation Partnership.

As Dent puts it: “Sustaining the future of our historic community band not only ensures funding for our upcoming 200th year and beyond, but also allows our 75plus members to focus on performing and representing the City of Williamsport and our central Pennsylvania region in the world of community bands.”

County Hall Corner: Love Your Library

By Larry Stout

One of the most valuable community assets is the local library. It is the one and only place that truly has something there for everyone of all ages. It is peaceful. It is friendly. And best of all, it is free. However, like almost everything else in our society these days, libraries have lost their autonomy. The mothership in Harrisburg (our state government) dictates standards and enforces them with impunity to qualify for state money.

But in 2025, the game changed with a reduction for local libraries. This would be bad enough, but the standards are still the same. For example, at least twelve percent of all the funds MUST be used for new books or other materials. A normal organization would adjust its inventory and activities based on its client’s needs and desires, but the libraries in PA do not have any choice. Obey or else get cut off…

These limitations impacted the James V. Brown Library in Williamsport but have particularly hammered the other five county libraries in Hughesville (shortfall of $2,400), Jersey Shore ($1,400), Muncy ($1,250), Montoursville/Konkle ($1,800), and Montgomery (a whopping

$4,000).

I have been a board member of the Montgomery Area Public Library for some fifteen years now, and I cannot remember when we were more stretched. State funding was radically reduced, and last year required repairs on the library’s roof and the AC unit.

Ironically, though, the Montgomery Area Public Library has never been healthier in terms of its operations. It is worth visiting the library just to walk in, given that a century ago, it was one of the largest banks in the area and is still quite impressive.

In fact, Library Director Amber Adams recently started a guest book for visitors, and of the first twenty signatures, eight

COUNTY HALL

of them came from other states, such as Washington, Arizona, and South Dakota. It seems like a library with a huge vault and a pet rabbit (Monty) is quite a draw.

However, Montgomery has a “no win” situation because it is on the edge of Lycoming County. The reason Montgomery had such a hit was due to the declining population in the area, as have other communities in the county. It is logical to base funding on population. However, Montgomery has patrons that come from Northumberland and Union Counties, drawn by the numerous activities that the library hosts as well as the ambiance of the place. And the Riverside Trailer Park, a short walk from the library, hosts hundreds of people from all over the country every month, which explains the visitors outside of Pennsylvania who signed the guest book.

Ironically, the Montgomery Area Public Library has had the highest volume and activities in decades. In fact, in the month of October 2024, this library had the highest number of books and other materials taken out than any other in the county outside of the James V. Brown Library.

Community libraries are not dinosaurs, just the opposite. As civil life has become more and more virtual and isolated, places like a local library are

becoming “palaces for the people.” This phrase comes from the title of a New York Times best-selling book by Eric Klinenberg, who believes that the future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces: the libraries, childcare centers, churches, synagogues, and parks where crucial, sometimes life-saving connections, are formed. It is significant that Klinenberg recognized local libraries as the most important aspect of these shared spaces. So why not help these municipal libraries in our area? The best way would be to engage in the Raise the Region 2025 fundraising program, beginning on Wednesday, March 12th at 6:00 p.m. Go to raisetheregion.org for all the details. The minimum donation is $25. Imagine if 160 folks would be willing to give that minimum amount towards the Montgomery Area Public Library. It would bring them back to their 2024 funds. And if they could squeeze $50, it would only need 80 people to make this happen. The same could also happen to the other libraries; at the minimum donation, Hughesville would need 96 patrons, Konkle 72, Jersey Shore 52, and Muncy 50. And hey, why not be a champion and try to up it into three figures if you could. As the precious Anne Frank wrote in her diary, “No one has ever become poor by giving.”

The Roving Sportsman… Proper Care of Apple Trees

By Jon Pries

Time is our most valuable asset. In everything we do, we must constantly consider how best to use our time. When it comes to habitat improvement, one of the best uses of our time is to locate and care for old apple trees and add new apple trees that will provide years of production that will benefit a great variety of wildlife. Whether you own or lease property that you are looking to improve or belong to a hunting club in north central Pennsylvania, apple trees are a valuable addition to a varied habitat. They are a very viable food source that grows well in our area, are a preferred food source of deer and bear, and are also a favorite of turkeys and grouse.

Before you begin a program of planting new seedlings on your property, it is a logical first step to do a detailed survey of what might already exist on your site. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover that you already have old, wild apple trees growing on

your land. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, when lumbering of our forests was at its height, lumber camps, and remote campsites were scattered throughout the countryside. It is not unusual to find mature apple trees at these old campsites. Another logical place to search for old apple trees is around abandoned home sites. While the buildings may no longer be standing, apple trees and lilac bushes are indicators of homesites from years past. The challenge here is to bring these trees back to a more productive state. With some TLC, most of these trees will yield many more years of fruit production.

When you locate one of these old trees, there are three things you can do to improve its health and productivity. First — daylight the area around the tree. This requires cutting down any other species of trees that are growing close enough to the apple tree to block needed sunlight for maximum viability of the apple tree or a nearby tree whose roots compete with the apple trees’ roots for nutrients and moisture. Sec-

Goat Herd Dispersal

ondly, while you have a sharp chainsaw and pruning tools available, prune the targeted apple tree. Cut out any dead or broken limbs, remove sucker growth, and remove other branches as necessary to allow more sunlight to penetrate the remaining growth. Finally, fertilize with a 10-10-10 mixture of granular fertilizer underneath the outer reaches of the remaining branches (this is referred to as the “dripline”).

When it comes to planting new apple tree seedlings, there are several things to consider, with site location being one of the most important. Consider planting them where they will be exposed to maximum sunlight, such as field edges, hedgerows, or at the edges of food plots. Planting groups of seedlings or small “orchards” of apple trees will allow easier care when fertilizing, spraying, or other maintenance needs to be done. Do the research and plant a variety of standard apple and crabapple seedlings that will bear fruit at different times in the late summer and fall. Use of tree tubes is recommended, especially during the early years of growth. They provide a “greenhouse effect” for a young tree and also protect the seedling from becoming a buck rub, which often kills the tree. Keep in mind that

bees will sometimes build a nest inside these tubes and then become an attractant for black bears that can easily snap a seedling into pieces in search of the bees’ nest. If you have black bears in the area and planted the apple tree seedlings in a group, you might consider adding a high fence to encircle the trees to prevent damage by the bears. As with the older trees, using 10-1010 fertilizer will enhance the growth and health of these seedlings. Spraying these new trees with insecticides such as seven will eliminate damage from tent caterpillars. Additionally, the growth of grasses and weeds from the base of the seedling and extending out 3 feet should be prevented using either herbicides or plastic or rubber matting. Eliminating these weeds and grasses will discourage rodents from damaging the bark of young trees. Otherwise, little care is needed to have these young seedlings become fruit-bearing trees. In the end, caring for existing apple trees or planting new apple tree seedlings is one of the most productive ways to use your time and money to enhance any property for wildlife. It is a great feeling of satisfaction when you witness game enjoying the fruits of your labor!

Outdoors

It’s hard to believe, but some of my ice-fishing buddies were still walking on a frozen lake the first week of March, and now some of us are thinking about donning a pair of chest waders and heading to a nearby stream for some trout fishing. Those streams are already being stocked with some pretty good numbers of trout.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will stock 3.2 million trout in 691 streams and 130 lakes this season. Of that total, 2.4 million will be rainbows, 639,000 will be browns, and 125,000 will

be brookies, all with an average length of about 11 inches. In addition, 72,000 of those trout will be in the 14-20-inch range.

The statewide opening of trout season is April 5 at 8 a.m., typically the first Saturday in April, and the season runs through to September 1.

Be aware, however, that the 2025 Mentored Youth Trout Day is March 29 statewide from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Youth anglers must obtain a current year Mentored Youth Permit or a Voluntary Youth Fishing License, and they must be ac-

companied by a licensed adult — only one licensed angler per actively fishing mentored youth. On a few occasions, I’ve seen the mentor take advantage of the situation and wander off to fish on their own; remember, the mentor should be within arm’s reach or 6 feet from the actively fishing mentored youth. Now that we’ve taken a close look at opening day and times be aware that there are a number of exceptions to those

times and dates. Mentored Youth Trout Day isn’t the only exception; there’s more, but I don’t have room to list them all and the special regulations that go with each of them.

Eight areas are listed as “Special Regulation Areas,” and each has its own set of regulations, so I would advise that you check your 2025 Pennsylvania Fishing Summary; you should have gotten one when you bought your fishing license. There are two of those special regulation areas that I take advantage of each year: Catch and Release Artificial Lures Only and Catch and Release Fly-Fishing Only. Note that in both cases, no trout may be killed or had in possession. That’s not a problem for me since I rarely have an

interest in keeping a trout — I put them back so I can catch them again. These and the other special regulation areas are open to fishing year-round, and fishing is permitted on a 24-hour basis. The Catch and Release Artificial Lures Only, of course, means that no bait of any kind is permitted, artificial lures only. Spinners and lures made of metal, plastic, wood, and rubber, and flies and streamers made of natural or synthetic materials.

The Catch and Release Fly-Fishing Only obviously means that fishing must be done with fly-fishing equipment and artificial flies.

Of course, one of the key regulations in the two areas mentioned in the pre-

viously is that all fish must be released. Something that’s important here is that they should be released with as little harm to the fish as possible. Fortunately, fish taken on artificial lures and flies seldom get hooked deep; it’s almost always a mouth hook that can easily be removed. It’s probably a good idea to have a pair of hook removers handy to speed up the process. Also, have a wet hand when handling your catch so there is minimal damage to the fish. If possible, I try to keep the trout in the water during the release.

Well, it’s time to get the waders out and start checking out some of those special regulation areas — see you on the stream.

Scott on Sports

Lenten Suggestions

There is light at the end of the tunnel of winter’s unwelcome grasp of the past several months. Daylight savings time has arrived. Major Leagues Baseball debuts its 2025 season next week with the Dodgers and Cubs meeting in Tokyo, with baseball’s other 28 clubs swinging into action on March 27. Locally, the high school spring sports season gets underway later this month.

Scott Lowery

While researching the subject, I came across an introspective article written by Anne Stricherz of Saint Ignatius College, reflecting upon suggestions as to what athletes could give up in their Lenten observance. A bevy of those observations follow.

Fear of failure – Failure can be a great teacher for a team, athlete, and coach. In sports, it is inevitable. Do your best, give it your all, and enjoy.

It seems, no matter what the time of the year, sports events hold an important place on the calendars in most American households. However, for those of the Christian faith, the arrival of the Lenten season places its followers in similarity with the objectives of successful athletes in developing self-discipline toward the achievement of personal goals.

The question of ‘What are you giving up for Lent?’ is asked at this time of the year. Abstaining from things we enjoy can be challenging. It is frequently things like chocolate, favorite foods, or beverages that head the list of items to be self-denied until Easter Day’s arrival.

Your comfort zone – As an athlete, the only way to get to the “next level” is to expand your comfort zone. Go for it.

Feelings of unworthiness – A lack of playing time, not improving, and even injuries can cause serious doubt for an athlete. Believe in yourself.

Impatience – This one is tough; there is often little room for patience in athletics. But when improvement is slow, persevere. Be patient and trust your coach, teammates, and, most importantly, yourself.

Retirement – It’s hard for many professional athletes and coaches to know when to hang it up. There is a fine art to this. Retiring opens new chapters and opportunities; it is an example of

knowing when to say when.

People pleasing – I can’t please everyone always. Pleasing yourself doesn’t mean you need to be selfish; it means you know your talents, role, and ability. Trust those.

Comparison – I have my own unique contribution to make, and there is no one else like me. Don’t compare yourself to others.

Blame – I am not going to pass the buck. I will take responsibility for my actions. Do your best. Don’t blame others for game results.

Guilt – Each day is a new day, and the past is behind us. Unfortunately, history knows the names of those who have made the “big mistakes.”

Overcommitment - Do less better and accomplish more. One sport at a time. Don’t leave one practice to work out with another team. Keep your eye on the prize.

Lack of counsel – Wise decisions are rarely made in a vacuum. Counsel does not bring physical relief, but a huge mental one.

Impurity – Keep your body free of performance-enhancing drugs. It requires tender care and respect. You only have one.

Entitlement – Playing time is a gift, your position on the team is an open door. Be grateful and help others to be thankful, too.

Apathy – Sports are meant to be a form of recreation. To not care about the game or the team is to lose sight of all it can be. Life is too short not to care. Hatred – Do not be overcome by evil. The world is an unjust place. Let sport be a place where those feelings of disappointment and hatred are exercised out. A good coach will root it out and maintain a zero tolerance for it.

The spirit of poverty – This is one reason why we love sports. We’ve seen the athlete or the team that doesn’t have much but a whole lot of heart rise to the top.

Going through the motions – The more you invest in yourself, the more you will get back. Drills can be tedious and trying. Give it some spunk, crack a few jokes, and encourage others. It will pay dividends.

Complaining – Instead of contributing to the problem, be the solution. Rather than complain, work harder.

The pursuit of happinessExperiencing success is more than happiness; it is joy! The joy of victory tastes so sweet. Create your own sports memories that can last a lifetime. Lent is one week old, but regardless of one’s personal beliefs or sports involvement, choosing from the above list can help bring positive results. Plus, it’s better than giving up chocolate!

Sporting Matters With Spence…

Hail to Chip

The Lycoming College Board of Trustees recently announced the appointment of Charles “Chip” Edmonds, Ed.D. ’98, to the presidency of the College. The current executive vice president will commence his new role on July 1. The selection of Edmonds follows an extensive national search, with participation from members of Lycoming’s Board, faculty, staff, student representatives, and golf coaches. Edmonds will take over for Dr. Kent Trachte, who will retire in June at the close of the 2024-2025 academic year. Edmonds was chosen for the Lycoming presidency for his deep understanding of the higher education marketplace and his unwavering commitment to undergraduate residential education, academic excellence, community engagement, and financial stewardship. He has championed access for the College’s increasingly diverse student population and removed barriers for high-achieving students to receive an undergraduate education. Edmonds brings more than 25 years of higher education leadership that is punctuated by experience in strategic and institutional planning, program innovation, fundraising and financial management, enrollment, marketing, and alumni engagement. He is known for his authentic, engaging, and inclusive leadership approach and has proven himself as a leader who will work across campus to build consensus around a shared institutional vision. “I am profoundly grateful to board chair,

Mark Fultz, vice chair and chair of the presidential search committee, Don Hughes, members of the presidential search committee, and the entire board of trustees for the opportunity to serve as Lycoming College’s 16th president,” said Edmonds. “Lycoming’s steadfast commitment to providing a premier undergraduate education was on full display throughout the search process. It was both energizing and humbling to engage with faculty, staff, and students who care so deeply about the future of the College. It will be an extraordinary privilege to build on Lycoming’s distinguished history and harness the community’s collective capacity to provide one of society’s most important public goods – an education that prepares students for exceptional careers and service to humanity.”

Named Lycoming College executive vice president in 2017, Edmonds serves as chief external affairs officer overseeing advancement, enrollment management, marketing & communications, government & community relations, and institutional projects. He has raised significant philanthropic support and strengthened relationships and engagement with Lycoming’s alumni base, as well as with the local Williamsport community and local and state elected officials. Edmonds has been integral to the Gateway Economic Development Project, securing philanthropic, private, and public support for the College’s Krapf Gateway Building, which has stimulated revitalization in the

Sale for Paul and Doris Berger 1114 Deturksville Road - Pine Grove, PA 17963 43 Acres (+ -)

surrounding Williamsport Old City neighborhood. He led Lycoming’s most successful comprehensive campaign in its history, which concluded in June 2019 after raising $79.2 million.

Playing a lead role in the development of the College’s 2021 Strategic Plan, Edmonds led the Lycoming College community in the development of a campus facility planning strategy, working with multiple constituents across campus. His guidance resulted in the decisions to launch a varsity women’s field hockey team and to reestablish a varsity men’s baseball team, working in partnership with stakeholders, including the mayor, city council, and other local officials, to construct a new baseball stadium at nearby Brandon Park that will serve as a premier field for local, regional, and national events. Edmonds is also a community leader, serving on several boards. He is currently the chair of the Lycoming County United Way, trustee and chair of the development committee at Wyoming Seminary and Preparatory School, trustee and vice president of Williamsport Symphony Orchestra, a director serving his second term, and treasurer of Loyalsock Township School Board, board member of Williamsport Chamber of Commerce; board member and treasurer of Lycoming Economic Development Foundation; board member of Pennsylvania Economy League, and chief liaison for the

Lycoming Creek Chronicles. Prior to his current role, Edmonds served as vice president for advancement at Lycoming, director of major gifts at Yale University, director of annual giving at Duke University Divinity School, and development associate with the Duke Youth Academy. Prior to that, he worked at Lycoming as assistant director of admissions. Edmonds holds a bachelor’s degree in history and music from Lycoming, a master’s of divinity from Duke University, and a doctoral degree in higher education management from the University of Pennsylvania. He currently resides in Williamsport with his spouse, Erin, and their two sons, Jacob and Luke. Beautiful family.

“One of my goals is to get Lycoming Golf to the very top of the Landmark Conference. Whatever Coach Spencer needs — he gets.” OK. Chip DID NOT say that.

Yes. The alums are rejoicing. I went to school with Chip. We are both Lycoming grads. He worked with my father in admissions. I have known him for a very long time. He is the big brother I never had. One that I can always count on. He is an outstanding guy. I am extremely happy and excited for my friend. His family, too. Lycoming hit a grand slam by naming him our next president. This was a no-brainer. A fantastic hire. Lycoming College partnered with Academic Search, Washington, D.C., to conduct the search. But they should have saved their money. I am very thankful that our board decided in his favor. They understood his passion, love, and loyalty to our college. Well done, Chip. There is a major buzz on campus this morning. Cheers.
