Congratulations to Jim and Bonnie Winder on being voted into the National Babe Ruth Hall of Fame. What an absolutely great and deserving honor for the husband/wife team. Lou Hunsinger does a great job of covering the couple’s commitment and journey in providing youth baseball in the West End of Williamsport for over four decades. Lou knows baseball and history.
Babe Ruth Baseball is very important to the transition and teaching of the game to young players as they step off the Little League size diamond onto the full-size field. From that point on, the only thing that really changes is the distance of the outfield fences.
I know Jim and Bonnie very well, as both of my sons played West End Babe Ruth Baseball. I consider them family and, in the same manner, honored that the Webbs are considered part of the West End family. We have shared a lot of ball games together across the country with the great folks of West End baseball. There are many outstanding volunteers in the West End League, in addition to Jim and Bonnie, that make this happen, but for this article, I want to focus on the National Hall of Fame
couple.
The hard work, blood, sweat, and tears they have put in over the years are immeasurable. Jim and Bonnie are truly hands-on people. I can’t even imagine how many hours they put in over the years in the name of West End Babe Ruth.
Jim has a great ability to bring local players from across the West Branch Valley together. I don’t believe you could ever estimate this importance to so many area players over the years, regarding how they learned the game and to play together as a team. In many cases, it’s their first stepping out of a comfortable hometown league into the unknown. This helps to prepare teenagers not only for high school but for their future on and off the diamond. And this applies whether they play just the regular season together or are fortunate enough to make a run to a World Series.
In today’s world of cell phones and social media, it is much easier for the kids to know each other from other communities before they step onto the West End diamond. However, think back to before the technology of today. Many lifelong friendships began with
meeting over West End Baseball.
I should throw in here that just because the kids of today are more likely to know each other prior to competing against each other and playing together at West End, that doesn’t mean they have previously met in person beyond that electronic device of their choosing. West End provides that place for this to happen. It’s pretty hard to be texting each other as you’re trying to turn a 6-4-3 double play.
In today’s world of technology, any sport that brings young people together face-to-face and makes them put the cell phone down is a win. A suggestion to coaches and parents when you take them out after practice or a game for pizza, don’t let them text across the pepperoni and cheese; encourage direct conversation. I know this is a big ask.
Now back to Bonnie and Clyde, I mean Jim, of course, just seeing if you’re paying attention. Although that would have made a great cover, have them dressed up like Bonnie and Clyde with Winder Field in the background. I bet you, Jim and Bonnie would have been all in for that idea.
Seriously though, a tip of my Salt Lake
City World Series cap to the dynamic duo. Thank you for bringing families together to share time over the great game of baseball. As I’ve written before, my Father was a big West End fan, and we got to share a special trip together as a family to a town we probably would have never visited. Those memories mean even more as time passes.
And again, congratulations to Jim and Bonnie on your induction into the Hall of Fame. I wish you great health, an early Spring, and another 40 years of working your magic in the West End of town.
It’s only fitting to end this with, as you’re reading this, pitchers and catchers are reporting to Spring Training. God Bless America.

Yes, I know. It’s only February. But honestly, I prefer to get ‘Spring Cleaning’ done during the winter. Why? Because I would rather enjoy the spring. Get out of the house, and do something fun! I don’t want to waste the nice weather being inside cleaning. At the very least, I’d rather use the nice weather to get things done in the yard!
So, what should be on your Spring-Cleaning Check List? Honestly?
I have no idea — I just wing it. But here are the ‘big’ chores I like to do this time of year.
Doors and switch plates: I go through the house and clean all the doors, trim, light switch plates, and doorknobs to remove fingerprints, smudges, and germs.
Baseboards: No one in my house is thrilled when it’s time to clean baseboards, but this is always on my spring list. A little Fabulosa and hot water, and they clean up fast!
Walls: I’m not going to lie to y’all; I’m not really out here washing walls. But I clean up any smudges, run the duster over them, and make sure there aren’t any cobwebs hiding out on me!
Windows: I clean all the windows/ sills inside, wipe down the mini-blinds, and wash all the curtains. Pro-tip, cur-
tains tend to end up less wrinkled if you rehang them while they are still damp. It lets the wrinkles fall out and makes your house smell like clean laundry!
The Stove: I’ll admit, I hate this one, which is why it only gets done once a year. Pull that stove out and get to work. This is the time to get all those crumbs that fall between the stove and counter and somehow end up behind and under the stove. I also clean the inside of the oven, which also sucks, but it must be done!
The Fridge: I’m happy to report that I have already taken care of this task! Last weekend I took everything out of the fridge, washed all the drawers and shelves, wiped down the door shelves, threw away anything expired, and put everything back in such a nice way that even TikTok would be proud. It should stay that way for approximately three more days. I normally do this big cleanout like once a quarter or so.
Ceiling Fans: I don’t actually have any ceiling fans, but if you do, give ‘em a dusting.
Closet Clean-Out: The last big thing on
my Spring Cleaning List is cleaning out the closets. Last week, Bernadette gave some great tips on how to do this; you can check that out at webbweekly.com
if you missed it. But basically, it is this: either donate, toss, or sell (depending on condition) anything that doesn’t fit, you no longer like, or has worn out its welcome in your closet. If I can’t remember the last time I wore it, it will probably go.
Filters: This is a great time to clean the things you use to clean. New bags/ filter in the vacuum, rinse the grime off your broom, throw that mop head in the washer, wash out your trash can and litter boxes, clean the hair and whatnot out of your vacuum rollers, etc. You should also check on the air filter in your furnace/HVAC system to see if that needs to be changed.
Bonus stuff: Some of my favorite, goto cleaning products — Scrub Daddy sponges, Dawn Power Wash, Soft Scrub, Microban (for disinfecting), Fabulosa, Windex, and Scrubbing Bubbles Foaming Bleach. I can clean pretty much everything in my house with just these!
I’m not a crazy person, so please don’t think I’m dedicating a significant amount of time to all these things. The other nice thing about starting your spring cleaning in February is that you can do one or two tasks at a time over the next few weeks, and by the time spring — well, springs — you’ll be ready to start a new season with a nice clean home!
Jim and Bonnie Winder have been involved with the West End Babe Ruth League for more than 40 years.
Perhaps no two people have been as dedicated to that league and Babe Ruth baseball in general as Jim and Bonnie. Their hard work and dedication will be recognized nationally later this year when they are inducted into the National Babe Ruth League Hall of Fame. The honor was voted on by the International Board of Directors of Babe Ruth.
It is only fitting that Jim and Bonnie were voted in as a team because they have worked with dedication and spirit hand in glove with each other for the betterment of the West End Babe Ruth League. Since becoming involved in Babe Ruth baseball in 1982, the two have served in various capacities such as president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, manager, coach, scorekeeper, groundskeeper, purchasing agent, and perhaps yes, even chief bottle washer. Jim has also served as District 8 Commissioner. One of the league’s playing fields has even been named in their honor.
The Winders are no strangers to Halls
of Fame. They were inducted into the Middle Atlantic Babe Ruth Hall of Fame in 2014 and the Pennsylvania Babe Ruth Hall of Fame in 2004.
From Babe Ruth International, “It goes without saying that an organization is only as good as its people. The continuity created by the Winders has provided the foundation for the West End Babe Ruth League. During Jim and Bonnie’s tenure, approximately 2,500 young men and women have participated in the league, learning many valuable life lessons, not just on the baseball field, but on the field of life.”
Webb Weekly talked with the Winders about their newest honor.
“It’s very hard to talk about your self, so here are some random thoughts.
“We are very humbled and appreciative of the honor. It is our plan to make it to 50 years,” Jim and Bonnie Winder stated.
“A little history of how we got started. Back in 1982, I got a call from my father; he wanted to know if I knew anything about baseball because he agreed to manage my younger brother’s team. I played baseball day and night in my youth — I said yes. I joined the board that first year and was selected to manage an all-star

team. Bonnie volunteered at the concession stand, and after a few years, I became president, and Bonnie became league secretary/treasurer.”
Jim continued, “We have never had a son in the league. The boys from that first year are turning 56 this year; some of their sons are coaching in the league now.
“Over the years, I am proud to say we changed some of the players’ futures by keeping them off the street by not only learning baseball but also learning respect, manners, and team play.
“I meet with every team and their parents each spring and go over league policies and what will not be tolerated by both the players and parents.
“One of the rewards for being involved is we travel with our tournament teams to regionals, and we have been to nine Babe Ruth World Series. We have been to Utah, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, New York, and New Jersey. We both still work, so these tournaments are our vacations.
“We run West End with very few meetings and keep politics out of our league. I thank my dedicated board members who have been with us for 20 years and more. Tom Marnon Jr., Dale Diermyer, Mark Rogers, George Lepley, Scott Niklaus, Dave Cipriani and Jeff Heinzelman.”
According to Babe Ruth International, “Babe Ruth League, Inc. has more than just top of the line competition. It has a legacy stacked with exceptional individ-
uals who have given unselfishly of their time and resources to provide all young athletes with an enjoyable, healthy, and educational experience. Jim and Bonnie Winder are included in that list of exceptional individuals.
“Jim and Bonnie Winder have been elected as a team because they have served together as a team, dedicating 41 years of volunteerism to the West End Babe Ruth League and the Pennsylvania Babe Ruth Leagues.”
Babe Ruth League, Inc. is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to developing better citizens by providing properly supervised baseball and softball competition for 4 through 18-year-old players. It is the basic intent of the Babe Ruth League that every player who has a desire to play the sport is given the opportunity to participate and have fun.
The Babe Ruth League International Hall of Fame was established in 1968 to honor those persons and organizations who have played a vital role in the development of the baseball and softball programs. Each individual or organization, upon induction, receives the coveted Hall of Fame Plaque and is enshrined on the walls at Babe Ruth League Headquarters. Induction into the Babe Ruth League Hall of Fame is a rather rare honor. In its history, there have been millions of players and volunteers, yet there are only approximately 300 members in the Babe Ruth League Hall of Fame.
Realistic war conditions will mark a two-hour air raid test this afternoon in the area covered by the Williamsport Control District.
Weather permitting, a squadron of planes will fly over twice during the test, which is to be held between three and five o’clock. One flight is scheduled for shortly after three o’clock from one end of the city to the other and the other at 4 o’clock from the opposite direction.
Civilian defense personnel will cope with “major” and “minor” incidents during the “bombing,” control officials said yesterday.
John S. Stahlnecker, group commander of the Civil Air Patrol and Lt. William Anderson, Williamsport squadron leader will lead the “attack.”
Defense officials have requested that all control centers in the city be manned during this afternoon’s test and that incidents be scheduled in various areas. No audible signals we be given for the test.
Cooperation by the public during the drill is requested. Motorists may be stopped and delayed, but only for a short time. No effort will be made to keep pedestrians off the street, and residents may witness the incidents and other work carried out.
Meanwhile, it was announced that that the first signal for the initial air raid drill in Pennsylvania will sound at 10:30 o’clock this Wednesday morning.
The first warning — the blue warning — will be a steady blast lasting about two minutes. It will be followed at 11 o’clock with a red warning. 11:05 by the second blue waning and at 11:15 with the white or “all clear,” which will be given over radio station WRAK.
Full mobilization of defense personnel is required during the test. Traffic will be stopped, and pedestrians will be required to seek shelter but no incidents will be staged.
The drill will be held simultaneously in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia to acquaint the public with the new alarm system.

This is the third article in a series entitled “The Five Investments.” Previous articles are always available at www.webbweekly.com.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31.
So how can God expect us to love Him with all of our heart when so much about our heart is beyond our ability to control? Isn’t doing so impossible? The answer is yes — it is impossible for us to love God with all our heart. The Bible clearly teaches that we are dead in our sin. See Ephesians 2:1 and Romans 6:23. To understand how we can love God with all of our heart; we must start with this harsh truth: dead can’t do anything. Last I checked, dead means dead — and that means our dead hearts are incapable of loving God.
That doesn’t mean we humans don’t try really hard. We can be deeply involved in the pursuit of religion and piety and still be dead. The human effort to prove our love to God while still dead is a dead-end pursuit. It just doesn’t work. It never has, and it never will. I have spoken with many people over the years who said, “I tried religion. It didn’t work.” I’m not surprised. If religion is defined as our efforts to love God while still dead in sin, then religion won’t work. And that leads us to a predicament. If we can’t love God with all our heart, then how can we obey the greatest command?
The answer to that question is the good news of Jesus Christ. You see, what is impossible with man is completely possible with God. That’s what Jesus declared in Matthew 19:26. It’s why Paul stated, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. The whole point to the stories of Christmas and Easter is that
Jesus Christ has made way for us who are dead in sin to be made alive in Him! With that in mind, here are four ways you can love God with all your heart:
First, yield your heart. John 3:16 explains yielding as belief. To believe in God and to receive the gift of life through Jesus Christ, we must yield our pride. And friend, the ability to do so requires the grace of God because dead people can’t do anything. If your heart is feeling drawn to God as you read this article, then rest assured, grace is draw-
ing you. Dead is dead, but God has not given up on you. Receive this article as His gift of grace and yield your pride to receive life in Jesus Christ. This is step one in loving God with all your heart.
Second, learn about your heart.
“The human heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.” Jeremiah 17:9. Listen, even after receiving eternal life, your heart is still going to be driven by passions and emotions that will make you vulnerable to all kinds of temptations. You need to learn about your
Autonomic Nervous System and your temperaments and personality. We all have unique vulnerabilities, and it is vital that we identify those weaknesses. If you think you’re invincible, you’re in for a rude awakening. Look at what happened to King David in II Samuel 11. Remember, “Pride goes before destruction.” Proverbs 16:18. It is vital that you are painfully honest with yourself on this. If not, you’ll never be able to pursue the next step.
Third, guard your heart. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” While we don’t have control over our heart, we do have control over the many factors that influence our heart. This is the whole point of being a disciple. The word disciple is understood as discipline. We are able to love God with all our heart as we pursue the spiritual disciplines that guard our heart. Give your heart to learning God’s Word, praying, being filled with the Holy Spirit, communing with believers, and pursuing the mission of God. God’s grace can transform your heart — so tap into it.
Take your health seriously. Be very wise in how you sleep, exercise, and have fun. Physical, mental, and emo-
tional weariness amplifies our vulnerabilities, so take good care of yourself. Create margins in your schedule and your bank accounts to relieve stress and to expand freedom. Listen, just because you can do something doesn’t mean you must do it. It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to live on less so you can enjoy life more.
Build barriers between your heart and its vulnerabilities. Do it while you are strong. If you don’t, you will give in to temptation when you are most vulnerable. Listen, it’s too late to build flood walls when the river is rising. Know your vulnerabilities and get those barriers built. You already know what happens when you don’t.
Fourth, give your heart away. Jesus said, “Freely you have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8. If you want to strengthen and guard your heart, then start giving of your time and resources to please others and to meet their needs. Doing so requires taking the focus off yourself and what you think you deserve or are entitled to. Selflessness is always good for strengthening the heart. I encourage you to read Philippians 2:1-18.
In the next article, we’ll talk about how we love God with all our soul — the second of the five investments. Join

County Hall Corner: In Memory of Garth Everett
By Larry Stout
TPart-TimeFull-Time
You must be at least 17 years old to apply.
I considered this theory as I reflected on my interaction with Garth Everett, former PA State Representative for the 84th District, who passed away on January 28th this year. Garth served seven terms, succeeding Brett Feese. Here is where the connections begin.
Brett Feese was a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the early 1970s, the same time that I was a student there. We did not run in the same circles, but there were not that many of us from Lycoming County at IUP at that time, and I vaguely remember
here is a theory known as Six Degrees of Separation that proposes everyone on planet Earth can be connected to any other person through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. So, for example, I know somebody who knows somebody, etc., that would eventually know Joe Biden (or anyone else you want to plug in there). I know this sounds fantastic, but a number of scientific studies have shown that this theory has some legs.us bumping into one another a couple of times.
Brett Feese had a protege that was Garth Everett, and when Feese fell into a corruption scandal that sent him to prison, Garth was in a position to run for his PA State House position in 2006. Just four weeks after my wife and I returned to the United States after living in the Eastern European country of Latvia for sixteen years, we voted in person (and not absentee) in the November election. Garth Everett was the first individual we voted for to represent us in Harrisburg.
In the next few years, Garth Everett and I met on several occasions. I found
myself quite impressed with Garth because of the challenge he inherited. Walking behind the footsteps of Brett Feese was like walking in a landmine field. Feese had a very high position in Harrisburg and brought some significant grants to his District, but he also got caught with his hand in the till. Given that, Garth had to demonstrate the highest integrity possible and, at the same time, do everything he could to help his District that other representatives in Harrisburg probably believed had already more than their fair share of the state’s pork barrel.
And somehow, Garth Everett pulled it off. He served his PA congressional district faithfully and did it with character and integrity. Perhaps his Air Force ROTC training while getting his bachelor’s degree from Penn State in 1976 and then serving twenty years as a navigator on a KC-135 refueling aircraft for the Air Force helped him to know how to handle challenges.
He retired as a lieutenant colonel and went on to graduate from law school and became a solicitor for several municipalities in Lycoming County.
Another one of those “Six Degrees” pops up again because I was in the
United States Air Force at the same time as Garth. Our paths did not cross at that time; however, I would bet money that there were several Air Force folks that we both knew. But beyond that, fellow vets in the same service share a certain bond.
The one conversation that I remember best was sometime around 2009 when the state districts were being realigned, and Garth would no longer be my state representative. I was considering running for the position, and he called me and encouraged me to do so. I appreciated his candor, and his advice was quite helpful. As it turned out, the redistricting was delayed, so Garth remained our representative, which got me off the hook (thank God!) Plus, Garth could continue to do the great job in Harrisburg that he had been doing.
It was a bit surprising when he stepped down, but rumor had it that his health was failing. It was quite a shock to all of us when Garth died on his 69th birthday. Our hearts go out to his wife, Sue, daughters Corrine and Megan, and the rest of his extended family. He was a man whose “six degrees” went far and wide.

Are you a lover of Valentine’s Day, or think it’s just a holiday for companies to make more money? You either love it or hate it. I can take it or leave, but I have found myself enjoying it more since I’ve had kids and appreciate it more now that I am older.
My husband has always been sweet about Valentine’s since we’ve dated, but I’m the kind of girl who tells him I don’t need flowers or candy. I’d rather him save the money on overpriced flowers and take me out to dinner instead. That’s all I need or want. Me and him dining at a nice Italian restaurant, having a conversation together, and enjoying a delicious meal. That’s a perfect Valentine’s. I don’t even need a card; that’s just me. He tells me he loves me and how grateful he is all the time. That’s better than any card. But on the 14th of February, we spend it with our kids. Valentine’s just isn’t about romance. It’s about LOVE in so many different ways.
If you look up the meaning of LOVE, it gives you two definitions.
– “An intense feeling of deep affection.”
– “A great interest and pleasure of something.”
Valentine’s is about love, correct? Absolutely. It isn’t for people who are just in love or dating; it’s about being able to love —
celebrating the feeling of love that comes in so many different shapes in sizes. Who do you love? What do you love? Why do you love these things? I think Valentine’s Day is a celebration of all kinds of love.
I love Jesus first and foremost. Without him, this life would be pretty tough to handle. I turn to him for guidance if things get rough, praise him for blessings, and knowing he is always there is such a comfort. My marriage wouldn’t be what it is without him. The way we raise our children wouldn’t be the same without him. I wouldn’t be me without him. He comes first, always. He has to in order for everything else to fall into place. HE IS LOVE.
Lord knows how much I love my husband and children. They are my world. They are what gets me out of bed each morning. They are what make me smile for no reason during the day. They are the reason I can’t wait to come home after work. They are my favorite people in the whole world, and I would lay down my life for any of them. THAT’S LOVE.
I love my family and extended family more than life itself!
My parents have loved me unconditionally since I was born. The people taught me right from wrong. (It may have taken many,
many years for this to actually kick in, but hey, I was a slow learner!) It was a lot of punishments, smacks on the butt, and hard lessons, but I wouldn’t change it for the world now. TOUGH LOVE.
They were at every game or concert and there to always lend a hand. They always say, “I love you,” and “drive safe.” At my age, this never gets old. My parents never let a few days go by without calling and checking in. No, it’s not being overbearing or in our business. It shows they care because that’s UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
I love my friends and ‘framily.’ The ones who, when you call, they are there. Honestly, in this day and age, just be grateful for the
ones who actually call and keep in touch. True friends are hard to find. But hold on to them if you have them. We are blessed with such an awesome group of friends who would literally drop everything to be there. Even the ones we don’t see as often as we like. Life gets busy, but it’s always so nice to know you have friends who will be there if you need them. FRIENDSHIP LOVE. What Do I Love?

Valentine's Day:
February is National Heart Health Month and a great time to familiarize yourself with the signs of a heart emergency. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one person succumbs to a heart attack every 40 seconds in the United States. Most times, these emergencies happen suddenly. It is vital to take quick action to help someone have the best possible outcome after a cardiovascular incident.
Warning Signs
Not everyone displays the same symptoms of heart attack, and some symptoms can be more subtle than previously believed. If you or a loved one displays a combination of any of the following indicators, do not hesitate to call 911 or to go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
– Discomfort in the chest or areas in the upper body – This discomfort could be described as squeezing, uncomfortable pressure, fullness, or aching. The location of the discomfort could be in the back, one or both arms, neck, jaw, or abdomen.
– Difficulty breathing or lightheadedness
– A shortness of breath, like you just walked up a few flights of stairs.
– Other signs – These signs may include cold sweats, nausea, indigestion, fatigue, or a general unwell feeling.
These symptoms may happen all at once, start gradually, or occur intermittently. No matter what, it’s vital to get treatment as soon as possible.
Preventing Heart Disease
There are many lifestyle choices that you can adopt to help prevent cardiovascular issues.
Lack of physical activity is the most common way your health affects your heart and vascular system. The goal is to be active in a moderate intensity level for at least 30 minutes a day. You could simply go on a walk or bike ride. Not only will this help improve your health, but physical activity is a great way to practice self-care and improve your happiness.
Many diseases and conditions of the heart are also attributed to unhealthy eating habits. Diabetes, cholesterol levels, and a variety of other conditions can overwhelm your heart if you’re not careful. Some insurances may cover a standard assessment session with a registered dietician to go over healthier eating options. Both exercising and
eating a healthy diet will help you manage your weight, ultimately fighting heart disease.
Stress negatively affects your heart health as it increases the risk for hypertension. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can damage your arteries over time and increase the likelihood of a heart attack. Making time to unwind or participate in activities you like, talking to others about your feelings or concerns, and taking breaks from social media and the news are just a few ways to help manage stress.
Finally, it is highly advised to quit smoking. Smoking can cause an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, a
reduction in blood flow, and promote clotting and fatty substance buildup. Stopping the use of tobacco will reduce your risk for cardiovascular diseases.
It’s important to participate in regular screenings with your physician. A simple check-up and blood pressure screening can help prevent future issues and may end up saving your life.

It was with sadness that it was learned that former 84th District Representative Garth Everett had died last week after a long battle with cancer. He was recalled by many with fondness and affection. He served the people of his district well for 14 years, from 2007 to 2021. He served his constituents with dedication and distinction. He left his district a better place than he found it.
In February of 2007, I wrote an article in which I interviewed Everett about his first weeks as state representative. I thought it would be a good idea to revisit that story as a tribute to the dedicated service of Garth Everett.
Amidst pageantry and the magnificent setting of the historic State House Chamber in Harrisburg, Garth Everett, the new state representative for the 84th House District, which includes most of Lycoming County, was sworn in to assume his duties the first week of January.
“It has been an interesting couple of weeks for me as I got sworn in and got to know my surroundings and find out where my office is going to be as well as putting in for the committee assignments I might want,” Everett told Webb Weekly.
He said the experience of being sworn in as a legislator for the first time was an interesting and heady one.
“The whole House chamber was filled almost beyond capacity with the legislators, friends, relatives, and well-wishers in a beautiful and humbling setting,” Everett said. “It was quite a thrill for me and the other 55 new legislators.”
He said the transition process for him, and the other freshmen legislators, started in mid-December when an orientation was held for them, and they started to learn the ins and outs of their duties and how to do constituents’ services.
“My job has been eased somewhat because I have retained Brett’s [Feese] district staff so that there would be continuity in offering services to the
constituents of the 84th District, and we have retained the same district office at Halls Station,” Everett said. “Another thing that has been helpful has been my long-term friendship with Brett Feese. We have known each other since kindergarten, and so we have been able to have a seamless transition. The people of the district can expect the same high level of constituent services that they received from Representative Feese.”
He said that he will spend this term learning the intricacies of the legislative process and networking with other legislators who have the same views and goals that he does. He said it was important for him to build relationships with other rural legislators as a way of helping to protect the interests of people in those rural areas.
“There are three things that I ran on that are going to be my highest priorities,” Everett said. “First, school property tax reform, I think it is essential that we make the tax burden fairer, and it might be fairer if we broaden the sales tax so that the tax burden can be spread instead equally over everyone instead of just having property owners pay, that failed in the last session, but with 55 new repre-
sentatives maybe it will have a better chance of passing now.”
“Second, I think we need to reduce the size of state government and make it more efficient. We need to examine more closely the programs that might be ‘gotta haves’ as opposed to ‘nice to haves.’ This state must learn to live within its means. We can’t keep asking the state’s taxpayers to finance mismanagement.”
“Third, I think we need to make this state more business-friendly by doing what we can enhance the chances of new industries not only coming to this state but to this area as well.”
Everett does not know what committee assignments he has as of the writing of this article, but he has requested membership in the agriculture, the fish and game, the environment and natural resources, the commerce, and the local government committees.
“I am very excited about being in the legislature and look forward to being able to accomplish things for the people of the 84th and plan to hit the ground running. I know there won’t be an instant success in meeting my goals, but it should be an interesting and challenging process to try my best to do so,” Everett said.

As the great closet clean-out of 2023 commences, I find that I’m putting items aside not for donation or re-sell but instead for storage. Not just seasonal storage but long-term storage — things that I’m not ready to give up but don’t foresee wearing for years to come. In fact, I’m hoping to save pieces for my daughters, as my mom saved for me. So, as not to save garments in vain, I’ve been researching how to store clothing properly to ensure they stay in their best shape.
From my research, all the experts advise to prep clothing by cleaning them before packing them up. Even if a piece was only worn once, small amounts of sweat and oil may be present, and over time, that oil and sweat can cause stains or, heaven forbid, mold while sitting in storage. Wash and dry per the tag’s instructions and if need be, take your items to the dry cleaner.
Once clothes are clean and fully dry, what’re the best means of packing them? There are pros and cons for every clothing storage container type. Rubbermaid bins are my usual go-to for storage. Not necessarily Rubbermaid branded, but a general plastic tub-type box. These are good at keeping out humidity, dust, and water. However, these containers can get expensive depending on how many you require, and from my experience can crack or warp if overpacked. I think we’ve all been there, trying to squeeze just a few more things into a bin, then struggling to secure the top.
Cardboard boxes are cheap and recyclable, but they are not very protective against moisture or moths. Plastic or garbage bags are also inexpensive, but again not good protection. I’ve ordered vacuum bags from Amazon, but compacting clothes over the course of several years will result in damage, misshape,

and wrinkles. There are also canvas or polyester storage containers. I’ve seen these mostly for holiday decorations, but those with acid-free liners seem appealing for the purposes of any longterm storage.
I think the best bet is plastic tubs with lids that are stackable. However, I’m not just going to dump clean clothes into a bin. Cleaning out the bin beforehand is a must, and letting it fully dry, again, to avoid any moisture or humidity doing any damage. I’m also considering using garment bags for each item. There are hanging cloth garment bags for dresses and coats that, depending on the size of a plastic bin, could be laid out fully or gently folded over. Then there are squared cloth bags for things like sweaters and slacks. Shoes and handbags can also be bagged and packed lightly in a plastic tub.
To keep pests away, cedar chips are recommended. Cedar has been used to deodorize and repel moths from clothes for centuries. Fun fact: Cedarwood deters insects and kills moth larvae! If you have a cedar-lined closet, all the better. You may want to forgo a box or bin, but instead, just utilize cloth (not plastic) garment bags
and call it a day. But if you’re storing packed clothing in an attic, basement, or storage unit, then purchase some cedar chips in cotton bags or cedar balls and leave them in your container. Lastly, climate control. Of course, in an ideal world, we’d all have access to climate-controlled storage units for our most prized possessions, but in reality, most things get shoved into an attic, basement, or shed. I would highly recommend indoor storage for clothing where there’s a bit more temperature control. But even inside, you should be mindful of the placement of containers. Will they be hit by any direct sunlight? Are the containers themselves opaque or clear? If you’re using cardboard or canvas containers, are they placed in a room or on a shelf and protected from being squished or smashed? Be mindful of where your boxes or containers will be “living” in storage.
For me, I’ll be packing up several garments I’ve had since high school for nostalgic reasons, along with some designer pieces that I can’t in good conscience not save for my girls in the hopes that they’ll appreciate such things. A mother can only dream.

A Little Romance
–From veteran director George Roy Hill (“Butch Cassidy,” “Garp,” “Slaughterhouse-Five”) comes this romance about two young teens — an American girl and a French lad — who find each other in Paris one summer. Since their transcontinental romance seems slightly star-crossed, the two eventually pair up with a dashing older man (Laurence Olivier) for a spur-of-the-moment getaway to Venice.
This was the film that put Diane Lane on the cover of Time magazine, launching a distinguished career that now includes more than 50 films. She was 13 at the time.
“Six Days, Seven Nights” (1998) –Critics didn’t care for this colorful rom-com starring Harrison Ford and Anne Heche; but my wife and I love it — and now that Heche is gone, perhaps it’s time to take another look.
The actress plays a ditzy career gal marooned on a tropical isle with Ford’s cranky old pilot; here, the pair tangle with modern-day pirates while
struggling against romance — because she’s already engaged. Great scenery, a little action, lots of laughs and terrific acting; Ford has rarely been better.
Co-starring David Schwimmer; directed by Ivan Reitman (“Stripes,” “Ghostbusters,” “Meatballs”).
“Stranger Than Fiction” (2006) –Romance is only part of the picture in this metaphysical comedy with a cast for every demographic: Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson and Queen Latifah.
Ferrell plays IRS drudge Harold Crick, who finds that his life is being narrated by an outside voice. With the help of Hoffman’s lit professor, he learns that this fate-like figure is actually a contemporary novelist — with a penchant for killing off her protagonists. Yet thanks to a new-found love (Gyllenhaal), the standoffish Crick has awakened to the wonder of life; so he must track down the writer and change her mind.
In an era of franchises, sequels and cheesy retreads, “Fiction” is not like any other movie you have seen. Now bust out those chocolates and settle down for some cinematic sweetness.

Not everybody has to like you.
That’s a lesson you learned the hard way, probably in grade school. Try as you might, you were going to have enemies and detractors along the way and there wasn’t much you could do about it. Not everybody has to like you but, as in the new novel “Bad Day Breaking” by John Galligan, they aren’t allowed to kill you.
Many years ago, Sheriff Heidi Kick was the kind of girl she’d arrest now.
Back then, she and her best friend, Missy, were into drugs, guns, and petty theft, they both dated Roman Vanderhoof, and the three of them partied constantly until things got out of hand. That was when “Mighty” Heidi went to the sheriff ’s office and confessed to everything she knew about drugs and theft. Missy went to rehab, Hoof went
to prison in Boscobel, and Heidi kicked her addictions, enrolled in college, got married, paid her dues, and became Sheriff of Bad Axe County, Wisconsin.
Now those days were in the rearview mirror, and she hadn’t heard from Missy in a while.
Until she got a text the day before Thanksgiving.
“Want to drink ketchup?” it said, Missy’s code for getting drunk.
Despite that Heidi had been sober for years, her answer was “yes.”
It had been a long week already in Bad Axe County, and it would get even longer. One of her officers was using a department computer to email prisoners, and the courts wouldn’t let Heidi investigate. Another officer had assaulted the leader of a new religious group in town, and city council members were about to appoint her deputy sheriff.
And that religious community?
Folks in Bad Axe didn’t want a cult around, although Heidi wasn’t sure the community qualified as a “cult.” The two groups were protesting across the road from one another, things were heating up, and allegations of abuse and animal
cruelty floated around town. Then Sheriff Kick learned that Hoof was out of prison. And she knew he wouldn’t stop unless he got his revenge...
You know that thing you do when you see something scary, so you put your hands over your eyes and peek between your fingers because you can’t not see? That’s exactly what you’ll want to do with “Bad Day Breaking.”
Long before its prologue is anywhere near done, this book turns dark and cold as the snowstorm that hits the background of the story. Slush and ice lay the ground, then, for everything
that author John Galligan can pack into an unhappily-long holiday weekend, made more wretched by the kind of small-town embroilments that happen when everybody knows everybody else’s business. Add a headline-ripping current-events possibility and gun deer season in Wisconsin, and oh, yeah, you’ll want to see what happens.
Galligan fans will appreciate knowing that “Bad Day Breaking” contains an ending that’ll make you shriek and perch yourself at the bookstore to await the next Bad Axe County novel. As for this book, though, you just have to like it.

In celebration of Black History
Month, the Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society has placed on display a rare signature quilt from the 1840s for the month of February 2023. The quilt assembled by the Society of Friends (Quakers) of Kennett Square, contains a number of anti-slavery sentiments written in ink on the squares of the quilt. J.R. Sower wrote, “I’d like to see, all people free/ Within this glorious nation.” That square is
dated 1848. Another square, also dated 1848, records C.C. Sower’s thoughts, “First change the laws and then the cause/ Of freedom will grow brighter/ But if we have to free the slave/ We bind his chains the tighter.” During the quilt’s history, it was divided in half, but the two halves were donated to the museum in 1971 by Harold B. Taylor. There are 138 names on the quilt representing 48 surnames.
An examination and history of the quilt appears in the latest annual Journal
of the Lycoming County Historical Society. Contributed by textile historian Ricki Moler, the Journal is available for purchase in the Museum Store at a cost of $10.00. There is no admission to view the quilt, however, there is an admission to tour the rest of the museum. Adults are charged $9.50, senior citizens $7.50, and children 3-12 years of age are $5.00. There is a special family rate as well as discounts for military personnel and AAA members. Members of the Historical Society are admitted free. Touring hours are Tuesdays through Fridays, 9:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., and Saturdays, 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Ample parking may be found to the
rear of the building and on the street. For further information, please contact the museum at 570-326-3326 or visit our website at www.tabermuseum.org.
As we move through February and New Year’s resolutions begin to wane, I decided to reach out to River Valley Regional YMCA Senior Program Director Rachel Bryant for ideas on how people can get and stay active.
Dave: Rachel, first of all, why is it important for everyone to stay active and exercise?
Rachel: Good health is one of life’s most valuable resources, and staying active by incorporating weekly exercise and movement is a major key to maintaining good health. As we’ve seen after making it to the other side of a worldwide pandemic, there are many factors that can lead to a life of disease. We don’t have control over our genetic makeup, but we do have control over what we fuel our bodies with and what activities make up our time.
Dave: If someone is new to exercise or has been inactive, why should they start slow?
Rachel: When starting anything new, you want to start at a lower intensity to decrease the risk of injury. It’s important to learn what activities and movements will be safe and effective, as everyone has a different starting point and health history to take into consideration. Over time, resis-
tance, speed, and duration can be increased to elevate the intensity of the workout.
Dave: What are some good examples of different types of exercise?
Rachel: There are a few different fitness components to keep in mind when creating a well-rounded physical activity program. Cardiovascular endurance includes playing pickleball, riding a bike, and swimming laps. These are activities where you bring your heart rate above resting for an extended period of time.
Muscular strength and muscular endurance would include activities such as strength training with hand weights and resistance bands where you work to increase both the number of times you can work against a load as well the size of that load.
Flexibility training would include activities like yoga and stretching after an activity to increase the range of motion of your joints. Improving flexibility can help to decrease the risk of injury and improve movement in everyday activities.
Dave: Why is it important to find a type of exercise you find fun?
Rachel: Exercise doesn’t have to be found just in a gym by running on a treadmill or
lifting weights. It can be playing a sport or just moving with your kids and grandkids. It’s important to find an exercise that you enjoy and that you can realistically engage in so that you continue to participate in the activity. If you don’t enjoy it, you’re going to find excuses to stop the activity. To create a lifelong healthy habit, it may take trying a bunch of activities before you find your favorite or most effective form.
Dave: If someone needs some additional help, they sometimes consider hiring a professional fitness trainer. Can you discuss some of the benefits of hiring a fitness trainer?
Rachel: It’s hard to know where to start as there are so many ways to move. Also, each person has specific health consider-
ations that need to be evaluated to ultimately choose safe and effective ways to exercise. A personal trainer can review health history, short and long-term goals and help start you on a path to success. Not only can they inform you what exercises to incorporate into your individualized program, but they can make sure you’re performing them with proper and safe techniques. A personal trainer also has a lot to offer in the way of accountability and motivation. Once you make an appointment, you’re obligated to keep it, and once you get there, they’ll be your biggest cheerleader and encourager.
For more information on exercise programming, Rachel can be contacted at rachelb@rvrymca.org or 570-323-7134.
In mid-January, Amazon announced that it was ending its AmazonSmile charitable program on Feb. 20, 2023. The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., was one of the thousands of organizations using this to encourage local residents to support the library when they shopped online.
Although it wasn’t a huge fundraiser for the Library, it did provide unrestricted revenue over the years. To keep up that momentum, the Library is now using iGive, which is a similar free shopping service that has been in operation since 1997.
iGive members generate donations by shopping online at any of the registered 2,100+ stores. There are no added costs, obligations, nor any hidden fees. You don’t need to enter any codes, notify the store, or iGive. It’s all automatic.
When iGive members shop via special links, an “iGive Cookie” is assigned to your browser. This tells the store, “Here is an iGive Member.” The store reports back with this number and the purchase amounts so they can calculate the donation to your cause. iGive.com never has access to any payment information.
To use iGive to support the James V. Brown Library, you can do any of the following:
– Click on a store link directly from iGive.com or iGive.com/mobile sites. (You must be logged in): https://www.iGive. com/JamesVBrownLibrary
– Install the iGive Button and shop online as you normally would
– Shop via the free iGive App for iPhone, iPad or Android (visit the App Store and search “iGive” - free)
– Click on the iGive button here: https:// jvbrown.edu/support-the-library/
By using an iGive link to the store’s website, you shop as you normally would. There are no extra steps, no iGive notifications when making payments. The donations happen behind the scenes, and often the store’s support teams are unaware of the iGive Program.
Note that iGive and uses cookies to track and report donations for your cause. If you use the “Do not track” function built into your browser, or employ cookie blocking software, then iGive will not work properly.
iGive has more than 2,100 participating stores, including Advance Auto Parts, Aerie, Aeropastale, Ann Taylor, Avon, Banana Republic, Bark Box, Bass Pro Shops, Burt’s Bees, Cabela’s, Carter’s, Chewy, Coach Outlet, David’s Bridal, Dollar Tree, Gap, Hello Fresh, Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Holiday Inn, Insta-

To place a hold, visit www.jvbrown.edu or call 570-3260536 during the library’s operating hours. The library also is open for public computer usage and for services such as printing, faxing, copying and scanning. Walk-in passport services are available from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through and from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.
The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., Williamsport, Pa., is the place to go to learn, connect and grow. Founded in June 1907, the library champions the love of reading, opens new doors to lifelong learning, provides a haven to those who seek and ensures the preservation of public library services for future generations. The library has more than 225,000 visitors in a year and circulates a half-million items annually. A member of the Lycoming County Library System, the James V. Brown Library participates in PA Forward, a statewide initiative to promote literacies in our communities to power a better future for everyone.

Throughout Pennsylvania and neighboring states, the coyote breeding season runs from the beginning of January until the end of February. That means we are in a prime time of the year to hunt one of our state’s most prolific predators. Both males and females are out and about during daylight hours more than usual, working up an appetite, not just for mating, but traveling more distance means needing more food intake as well. A bit like whitetail bucks during the rut, male coyotes, while usually quite cautious, will sometimes throw caution to the wind as they tend to stay laser-focused on mating. And as if the mating season isn’t enough to distract them, they are increasingly occupying much of their time in search of something to eat. Both of these factors lead to the next several weeks being the prime time to hunt coyotes.
While black bears are the largest predator of whitetail fawns – both in size and the number of fawns taken in the early months of birthing – there is little doubt that coyotes come in as a quick second in taking spring fawns. Bears tend to adjust their diet for the rest of the year and devote most of their consumption to nuts,
berries, field corn, and other vegetation. Coyotes, on the other hand, continue their intake via predation of all sorts of birds and mammals.
With all of that in mind, and with no formal hunting seasons occurring this time of year, you have a great opportunity to cull a few coyotes now, thus reducing the predation they would undertake throughout the year. Coyote hunting, whether by using dogs, calling or spot and stalk, is a good way to introduce someone to the sport of hunting, especially if you are mentoring a youth or adult. Whatever method you use, there is plenty of time to talk about related subjects like proper handling of firearms, ethical hunting, a hunter’s responsibilities, respect for the outdoors, the habits and habitat of the game you are pursuing, and the sheer enjoyment of just spending quality time in the outdoor world. Calling or vocalization can be particularly effective now.
FoxPro, a Pennsylvania-based electronic call maker, manufactures a number of callers that incorporate an amazing variety of sounds. Very effective during the breeding season are a series of coyote sounds that both the males and females will make as they are looking for or calling for a potential mate.
Later in the winter, there are vocaliza-
tions that imitate a coyote pup in distress, and it is one of the most effective calls in a coyote hunter’s repertoire. The sound of a dying rabbit has long been one of the most effective calls that coyote callers use. All of these and more are available on one of FoxPro’s electronic callers. If one of the electronic callers is out of your price range – no problem, as there are numerous handheld callers that are quite good at producing a huge range of calls. Whether you use an electronic caller or a handheld call, there are dozens of videos on YouTube that can teach newcomers and polish up the calling by experienced hunters as well. Another solid reason to be hunting coyotes over the next several weeks is that
this is the time of year when their pelts are in prime condition. If you have any desire to have the pelts tanned for various uses, this is the time of year to do so. Coyote fur can be used to make coats, jackets, or hats. A coyote pelt can make a beautiful rug or can be displayed by hanging several pelts together – this is especially attractive when various color variations are hung together.
If you are interested in helping cull the coyote population in your favorite hunting grounds, this is an especially effective time of year to spend time calling coyotes or pursuing them by spot and stalk hunting. The turkey population and the whitetail fawns will thank you! Good Luck!
As we roll into the late days of the winter season, the hunting crowd starts to get a little bored; the deer and turkey seasons are all over, albeit there is still some small game hunting for those into running rabbits or picking off squirrels.
There are some other hunting pursuits out there as well, and I was reminded of that last week when I saw several vehicles parked along the road equipped to haul hunting dogs — not rabbit dogs, but coyote hunting dogs.
Every year at this time, I see the trucks along the road, and I can hear the hounds howling in pursuit of a coyote. What’s interesting is that the dogs will often run their prey for literally several miles before a shot rings out and someone downs the coyote. From what I understand, the gang managed to get one coyote, and the dogs were on another that got away.
Obviously, pursuing coyotes with some good dogs will likely increase your chances of success, but most of us don’t have access to well-trained coyotehunting dogs.
The alternative to hunting coyotes with dogs is to go out and park yourself in a
likely spot and do some calling. That’s not to say that you have to call to get a shot at a coyote, but it will certainly increase your chances considerably.
Several years ago, my wife, Sheila, and I were hunting deer when a coyote just happened to come strolling past Sheila heading in my direction. She nailed the coyote with one shot; it was the first one she’d ever seen in the wild. I’ve seen a few while hunting deer or turkeys, but I have never been able to get a shot.
Ken HunterWith a few exceptions, there is no closed season on coyotes and no limit on how many you can take. Coyotes can be hunted day or night, but my guess is the early morning and late day hours are probably the best times.
No fluorescent orange is required for coyote hunting except during any big game season. In fact, most serious coyote hunters, at least those into calling, recommend wearing camouflage, including white, when hunting snowcovered terrain.
Coyotes also have an excellent sense of smell, so a cover scent might go a long way to improving your chances of a reasonable shot.
Speaking of getting a shot, I find that most serious coyote callers seem to prefer some type of rifle with a scope; a 22-250 comes highly recommended, but I suspect most any deer rifle would get the job done.
The good thing is you can get into hunting coyotes without spending a lot of money; most hunters already have a deer rifle or two and sufficient camouflage, and with the addition of a mouth call or two, you are probably ready to go.
Many serious coyote callers prefer the open reed call that makes all kinds of sounds, including bird sounds, rabbit squeals, fox squeals, coyote yips, barks,
and howls. The sound of a squealing rodent can produce, and probably one of the most used calls is the high-pitched raspy cottontail call. If you really plan to get serious about coyote hunting, you can even get into the electronic calling equipment.
A coyote hunt might be a good way to break up the boredom of the late winter season; after all, it doesn’t look like there will be much in the way of winter ice fishing coming our way.
I may need to get out for a coyote hunt since my wife’s coyote mount staring at me every morning when I come down the stairs is a constant reminder that she got one and I didn’t!
The walls of the St. John Neumann gymnasium are lined with banners paying tribute to the feats its athletes have achieved throughout the school’s history. However, as a result of recent action taken by the school, all current and future Neumann basketball players will be playing on a court named in honor of a man that never coached a team, won a game, or made a basket at the Penn Street facility.
St. John Neumann recognized longtime Athletic Director Frank
Lupacchino by renaming its basketball court in his honor during pre-game ceremonies on February 3.
A 21-year Air Force veteran, Lupacchino was instrumental in starting Little League programs in England and Italy and served as the European Director for LLB while stationed in Germany. For the past 22 years, he served as SJN’s athletic director until stepping down from the position this past December.
“ is is something I never expected. I don’t do things to get recognition,
and I’d prefer to stay in the background as much as possible. I do it because I like it. But to have them name the court a er me is truly something very special. To tell you the truth, I don’t know why they did it. I was overwhelmed by what happened,” he revealed.
“Until just a few days prior to the court dedication, I didn’t know anything about it. e work was done by the same man who installed a new oor
here a couple of years ago when we had water damage. He did a great job with that. For this, they took my signature and transposed it onto the oor.”
With sports entrenched into his DNA, the AD’s job seemed a natural t.
“A er I retired from the Air Force, I wasn’t looking to nd a normal job,” Lupacchino explained. “I wanted to be someplace where I could relax, enjoy myself, be involved with sports, and work with kids. In some form or another, I’ve been involved with kids and sports all my life. e AD position gave me a chance to continue doing that.”
Lupacchino’s dedication proved to be
a godsend for St. John Neumann.
“When I first came here, they offered me a salary and said there would be a certain amount for an assistant. I told them to take what that salary may be and put it in the athletic account so we could buy needed equipment. I had a paid assistant for a few years, but after that, I just kept doing the job myself as a volunteer.
“The AD role is a lot faster now than it used to be. In some ways, it is not as enjoyable with respect to players, coaches, and spectators. There is a different atmosphere now with cyber stuff and all the other things kids have to go through and are involved with. It is not the cohesive type of sports program that it used to be. Everybody used to want to go out and play sports or go to a game and be involved. In my opinion, some of that involvement has changed, and for me, it has taken some of the enjoyment out of the game.
“Running a high school athletic program is really involved. We are a small school at SJN, and I don’t understand how some of these other athletic directors at bigger schools, some of whom are also teachers, have the time to get the job done. Our sports programs are relatively small compared to the larger public schools. The AD’s job is very involved, and there are always constant changes taking
place. It’s not just game schedules you have to deal with. Scheduling the buses, ordering equipment, taking care of the facilities, scheduling officials and game workers, and dealing with the day-to-day requests of the coaches definitely keeps you busy.”
Lupacchino was a driving force behind the formation of co-op programs with local public school districts.
“We have a lot of kids here that are interested in different sports, and with our small numbers, we don’t have enough to field our own teams. I’ve had good relations with the other ADs and contacted several schools about co-op programs. We’ve worked with South Williamsport in track & field and boys’ tennis and with Loyalsock in both track & field and football. Loyalsock loves that football co-op. Over the years, we have had some outstanding athletes play football at
Sock. Two seasons ago, we had ten players playing football there at the JV and varsity levels; this past year, we had four.”
As for memories, like Frank Sinatra — he’s had a few.
“The first year I got here, our basketball program was down in the dumps. The year previous, we only won one or two games. That became my first priority. We worked to get some good coaches in and established some training programs for both players and coaches to strengthen the basketball program. I have a lot of background in baseball, and we began to try and upgrade our baseball program as much as we could.
“We also put greater emphasis on the girls’ programs that included basketball, softball, soccer, and the junior high programs. It’s not easy, and it keeps you busy. I admire all these other ADs who have a lot more on their plates than I did.”
With time now on his hands, the man called Luppy admitted, “That will be a problem.”
“I’m already going a bit stir-crazy trying to find things to do. It’s hard to readjust. It’s a bit like coming out of the service. It’s a big adjustment in your life. I’ll continue to follow the team, go to other sports activities, and keep myself as active as possible.”
Matt Ilodigwe has already graduated from Lycoming College. The four-year starting guard was one of our favorites. Matt has a great smile and an incredible demeanor. He was a sniper from the outside and helped the Warriors win a few titles. Ilodigwe led the MAC in many shooting categories. He finished his career with 758 points and 178 threes. Matt was an outstanding player. Smooth. A stud both on and off the court.
COVID-19 changed the entire landscape. The NCAA was in a tough spot, and they rewarded many student-athletes. Illodigwe took advantage of an additional year of eligibility. Matt entered the transfer portal just before graduation. You saw this a lot with several Division 1 players. It gave many folks another opportunity.
“I got my bachelor’s degree in May,” Ilodigwe explained. “I then transferred to Lancaster Bible to play one more season and work on my MBA. It was a great fit, and I continue to keep my dream alive.”
Matt Ilodigwe is famous. My man is a social media genius. I am not kidding.
Matt has over 100k followers on Instagram. He is also trending on TikTok and Snapchat. Ilodigwe’s posts are fantastic. They chronicle his life as being a Division 3 athlete. He shares short stories and perspectives on managing your time and building confidence. Each feed is very well done.
“I started posting in January of 2021,” Matt continued. “It was during our COVID season at Lycoming. It was a strange time, and there wasn’t a lot going on besides our ‘masked’ practices and online zoom classes. I decided to post a TikTok video for fun, and it went from there. The following and feedback have been insane. I will continue to post as I hope to share my experiences and encourage my followers to be great. I have tried to stay consistent through motivational, faith-based, relatable, and basketball content.”
Jensen and I snuck over to see Matt and his Lancaster Bible squad play the Penn College Wildcats. It was a homecoming of sorts for the former Lycoming College Warrior. Ilodigwe’s role is a tad different. Matt now finds himself as a reserve. He did get a few shots up toward the very end. It was so great to see our friend running up and
down the court again. Matt’s smile and work ethic are second to none. Jensen and I waited, and we got say hello. Matt immediately gave my son some love. He asked him about school and congratulated him on a few of his clips. Jensen was grinning from ear to ear. I then told Matt a quick tale on how he has made an impact on my son’s young career. Jensen, like many other youngsters, knows Matt well. He is a rockstar through social media. Jensen always keeps me in the loop whenever there is something new. MATTY ICE’s material is exceptional, and his message is unreal. Jensen reached out a few months back. Matt answered and wrote him a great note. He encouraged him to hang in there and continue to work. I’m sure Ilodigwe does this on a regular basis. But his little shout meant the world. He gave Jensen a little boost. It was what he needed — impressive young man. “It is very humbling to hear stories like this,” Matt summed up. “I try to encourage people to get better every day. It takes a commitment. If it’s training for an hour, watching film, work-
ing out in the weight room, or playing against older guys, find something to do that is going to challenge you to get 1% better. Eventually, you will get to where you want to be.”
Please do me a solid, folks, and track Matt down. His message and content are off the charts. I am so proud of my young friend and our fellow Lycoming cager. Matt Ilodigwe is well on his way. He is an inspiration. His platforms are outstanding. It was so good to see him again.
