America Must Change Direction With the 2024 Election
This wasn’t how my column was to begin this week, but as I drove into work this past Friday, my Father and Chris Downs were on my mind. It was on October 25th — my dad left us 12 years ago, which is hard to believe in so many ways. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of him. Chris, a good friend, went home to the Lord this past week. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to his family, friends, and loved ones. Chris was much too young, but his work here was done.
Chris and my Dad had much in common. They loved their families, community, and the place they called home. Their approaches were very different, but no matter what they were doing, they always gave their best and wanted to make it better. They loved people, and talking with people, along with the great game of baseball.
I worked with Chris through Little League in a variety of ways, live streaming sporting events and other things involving our community. He was passionate, fun to be around, and would give anyone the shirt off his back. Godspeed, Chris, and thank you for everything you
did for so many.
Now to my thoughts on next Tuesday’s election, which really began with last week’s column, Decision 2024 — Value Your Vote. If you missed it, you can visit webbweekly.com. All our past issues can be found there.
Pennsylvania voters have a chance to change the course of where our Nation is heading. I ended my words last week with the names Kamala Harris, Bob Casey, and Matt Cartwright and would have an explanation of what drives them in my next column. The simple answer is whoever is behind the Biden presidency in the Democratic party on a national scale. The difficult part is trying to figure out just who this is. One thing that is without doubt — it is about money, power, and control through sticking together. Something the Democrats have always been much better at than the Republicans.
Bob Casey and Matt Cartwright have attempted to separate their campaigns and views as different from President Biden and now candidate Harris on key issues. Folks, that’s just not the case. They are both hard-line Democrats who have voted the party line and will continue to support Kamala’s vision for the future.
I’ve always felt that the strong two-party system of government created a balance of power. I would never want to see either party solely determining the decision-making. We must have the best possible, competent candidates elected willing to compromise. This was in our founding father’s plan to prevent government for the people not becoming government over the people. We are getting dangerously close to this happening. What I have witnessed during the Biden presidency has been a disaster no matter how they attempt to paint the picture for your vote. You cannot separate Kamala Harris from the Biden presidency, or lack thereof. It has been a failure when it comes to the economy, controlling the border, immigration, and national security. Meanwhile, the world is on fire on so many fronts, and the foreign policy and decision-making couldn’t be worse. The attempt to throw money at everything without a plan isn’t ever going to work. The only thing it will do is weaken our Nation and bury future generations with unaffordable prices and government dependency.
The mainstream media has done a horrific job of holding the Biden Administration accountable for anything. This includes making them answer questions
about failures, policy, and lack of plan. This has been witnessed during the disaster at the border, train wrecks, the invasion of airspace by weather balloons, natural disasters, and obviously worldwide conflicts beginning with the military’s exit from Afghanistan. And that isn’t even getting to the fact he’s still our President but not the candidate for the upcoming election even though he was voted to be in the primary election. How the media cannot press Kamala in depth about this, along with why she wouldn’t change anything he’s done, is just unacceptable.
The Democratic Party, along with most of the major networks, continues to blame Donald Trump for everything. I get it; he is an easy target, hated by many, and that never seems to get old to the many Americans watching. My question to all is, when does Mr. Trump stop being accepted as the answer to all the world’s problems?
I’ll finish up the week by saying that you may disagree with everything I’ve written, and that’s one of the great things about our freedom. We must also be able to agree to disagree. Please get out and vote while being respectful of your fellow Americans.
I pray we have a peaceful, quickly decided election. Both parties need to accept the results and get back to work for the good. God Bless America.

The Raven
By Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the oor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow— sorrow for the lost Lenore— For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore— Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
rilled me— lled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating “’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door— Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;— is it is and nothing more.”
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, “Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, at I scarce was sure I heard you”— here I opened wide the door;— Darkness there and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and

the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?” is I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”— Merely this and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
“Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore—
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;— ’Tis the wind and nothing more!”
Open here I ung the shutter, when, with many a irt and utter, In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore; Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door— Perched upon a bust of Pallas just
en this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, “ ough thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore— Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, ough its answer little meaning— little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door— Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as “Nevermore.”

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. is damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood ow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to the lack of nutrient ow.
As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die”

they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms.
Treatment at Twin Hills can include light therapy. The low level light therapy is like watering a plant. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

RAVEN
But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only at one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he uttered— Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have own before—
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have own before.” en the bird said “Nevermore.”
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
“Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is its only stock and store Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore— Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of ‘Never—nevermore’.”
But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door; en, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore— What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking “Nevermore.”
is I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose ery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core; is and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion’s velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o’er, But whose velvet-violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o’er, She shall press, ah, nevermore!
Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
“Wretch,” I cried, “thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore; Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!— prophet still, if bird or devil!— Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—
On this home by Horror haunted— tell me truly, I implore— Is there—is there balm in Gilead?— tell me—tell me, I implore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!— prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore— Tell this soul with sorrow laden if,
within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
“Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting—
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!— quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted—nevermore!
This Week’s LION: Author Conrad Richter
By Larry Stout
This column has always focused on local people who have impacted our area, but this one is rather di erent. is very special person is a ction writer who is no longer with us, but was born and died in the month of October. He also wrote his rst published work exactly 100 years ago. e author is National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Conrad Richter.
Conrad Richter has roots in our region. When he was just a teenager, his father was pastor at Stone Church in the village of Alvira. is was the same Alvira that was razed in the spring of 1942 when the US government seized the small village and 165 landowners (one of which was my own father) to build the Pennsylvania Ordinance Works. A er the war, it became the Federal Correctional Complex (FCC), Allenwood.
Conrad Richter lived in Alvira but worked in Montgomery for several years at a bank and then in his own business, which he and his younger brother started. He married in 1915 and moved to New Mexico because of
his wife’s health. From there, and for half a century, he was one of America’s favorite ction writers. His rst published work was a group of short stories written in 1924. But his breakthrough occurred when he wrote his rst novel, “ e Sea of Grass” in 1937. It was so popular that it became a Hollywood lm starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn in 1947. Another one of his books, “ e Light in the Forest,” was written in 1953 and

made into a Walt Disney lm ve years later. e popular Saturday Evening Post carried 31 short stories of Richter’s from the 1940s to the 1960s, many of which dealt with the pioneer era.
Conrad Richter’s most popular work was “ e Awakening Land,” which was made into a TV miniseries in 1978 and starred Elizabeth Montgomery, Jane Seymour, and Hal Holbrook. It was based on his trilogy about the Ohio frontier; “ e Trees” (1940), “ e Fields” (1946), and “ e Town” (1950). He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1951 for “ e Town.”
e Montgomery Area Historical Society gathered an array of various Richter’s books and magazine articles over the years but was blessed in 2018 when a Richter collector sold us his entire collection, including every book Richter wrote in rst editions, both in hardback and paperback, a third of them even autographed. Combined with the Richter items that the Historical Society had already compiled on Richter, which included books, magazines, movies, and even letters he wrote — this is one of the most complete Conrad Richter collections in the United States.
One of the archives is a June 10, 1950, Saturday Evening Post magazine with a story entitled “Dr. Hanray’s Second
Chance.” e entire story revolves around a doctor who returns to his home area, which has been con scated by the federal government (sound familiar?). ere are a number of people in the story, and the names are almost all from the Alvira days. But most signi cant was the very last sentence, “And the boy inside of him had made his rst sign of peace to the man he had become.”
Richter was a tremendous introvert all his life, and even so shy, he could not receive his Pulitzer Prize himself. But he felt at home in our region. I contend that the White Deer Valley he lived in for just a few years in his teens had a tremendous impact on his life. He hiked all over the mountains and met a number of hunters, trappers, and people who liked isolation. Given their focus on his books and short stories, he must have felt they were representatives of real Americans.
Even though he only spent a short time in our little rural valley, it obviously changed his life. As Richter himself wrote in his Pulitzer Prize novel, e Town, “You can never truly escape the past in a place like this.”
Happy Birthday and Happy First Publication to a true American writer, Conrad Richter.

Nighttime Beauty Routine
As daylight savings time looms before us, now is an ideal time to check in on nighttime beauty routines. Whether you consider yourself a beauty minimalist or a skincare maximalist, the advantages of a bedtime beauty routine should not be taken lightly. In fact, a soothing and, at times, pampering regimen will help ease the transition of the season and set you up for a good night’s rest. Here’s a rundown of some nighttime/bedtime beauty practices for your consideration as we head into darker days.
First up, washing the day off. Dermatologists have recently extolled the virtues of the evening shower, and I, for one, am a big supporter of a nighttime rinse-off. After a long day, a warm shower has its appeal, especially with chillier temperatures. Plus, the idea of being clean and crawling into a clean bed gives me all the comfy, cozy feels. Pre-bedtime showers and baths are also an ideal time to exfoliate both face and body with a silicon loofah. I like the Body Brush Shower Cleansing Scrubber from Hommiesafe via Amazon paired with Dove Body Scrub for the body
with Thrive’s Bright Balance2-in-1 Instant Exfoliator for the face. Afterward, hold in moisture with a rich and creamy lotion like good old CeraVe applied post shower, preferably with some steam lingering in the bathroom. Slightly damp skin helps lock in hydration. For hair, look to Dove’s Daily Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner, which is specifically formulated for damage control to combat daily wear and tear.
Evening also works for the double
cleanse. First, remove makeup, then cleanse to treat and protect skin. To clean off foundation, etc., I use Pond’s Cold Face Cream and a lukewarm washcloth. There’s also Clinique’s All About Clean Rinse-Off foaming cleanser. You want your first wash to be on the gentler side. Using an exfoliator or scrub to remove makeup can potentially clog pores. For the second-round wash, exfoliate twice weekly with a scrub or a deep cleanser like Biore’s Deep Pore Charcoal Face Wash. For the rest of the week, go with a cream-based product like Mad Hippie’s Cream Cleanser from Ulta Beauty to support the skin’s balance and keep it from drying out. After the double

cleanse, oss and brush, and then apply treatment products like retinal emulsions, collagen overnight lotions, or eye creams. I personally steer clear of retinal but have heard good things about e Ordinary’s Retinal Emulsion Serum from Sephora. Lately, I’ve been doubling up on OSEA’s Collagen Dream Night Cream and Grace & Stella’s If Eyes Could Smile cream. As winter approaches, I’ll be stocking up on Mary Kay Intense Moisturizing Cream for a full-face slather before bed.
You can also experiment with the sandwich method of moisturizing: one layer of mild face cream, followed by a serum,
and then another layer of face cream. And don’t forget your hands and nails. Be sure to get that body lotion on the backs of your hands, and consider applying some cuticle oil, like Sally Hansen’s Nail Rehab Oil Cuticle Balm, to promote strong nail growth as you sleep.
Speaking of sleep, there’s a growing beauty trend of utilizing your time in bed to ramp up the e ects of beauty products. is trend is referred to as the “morning shed,” and it’s kind of extreme. e basic premise piggybacks o a nighttime beauty routine with cleansers and creams but also adds overnight masks, bonnets, mouth guards,
chin straps, and lip tape. You sleep on your back, body slathered in oil, and then in the morning, you “shed” all of these products and devices to reveal a glowing you. ink of how Meryl Streep’s character in Death Becomes Her wakes up midway through the movie. e idea is to take advantage of the downtime of sleeping. However, there are some scary drawbacks. Mouth tape, which can help with snoring, can also limit breathing, while too much-concentrated product on your face for a long time can cause irritation. From personal experience, wearing a chin sling overnight can cause rough patches on the chin, so be warned and tread lightly with the morning shed approach.
Generally, whether you double cleanse,
sandwich moisturize, or strap on a mouth guard, every evening routine should include ossing, teeth brushing, and mouth washing. As well as detangling hair. If you do wash your hair before bed, you can certainly take advantage of air drying by wrapping your locks in so curlers, like Conair Comfy Curlers from Walgreens. To protect a blowout, curls, extensions, prevent breakage, and reduce frizz, check out the Cantu Satin Tie Bonnet & Scarf available at Walmart. is will also spare your pillowcase from any leave-in hair products or oils you use at nighttime to lock in hair’s moisture.
At the very very least, don’t fall asleep with your makeup on, and brush your teeth.

Happy Haunting
TAndrea McElroy
o be a kid during this week. Do you remember how exciting it used to be? Ah, good old Halloween week. Getting to wear your new Halloween costume and heading out in your neighborhood to see who handed out the big size candy bars. My favorite houses were always the bags of chips. I was always a saltyover-sweet person. Then coming home, dumping out all your candy, and separating it all. One pile for the chocolates. Another pile for things like Starburst, skittles, Swedish fish, and Sour Patch Kids. Lollipops all went together, then salty in another. It was always fun going through it all. Of course, you had that reject pile with crap like tootsie rolls, taffy, dum-dums, and those foil-faced pumpkin chocolates that no one liked. (I will tear a tootsie roll up now, but those were all boring picks to a little girl.) Isn’t it funny how we remember these things?
Dad always took us out trick or treating while mom stayed back and handed out candy to all the neighborhood kids who trick or treated in our neighborhood. It was always such a hoppin’ street back in the day — good old Roosevelt Ave. in Old Lycoming. We took our kids trick-
or-treating there and still do to this day. It’s so nostalgic. It’s neat seeing old neighbors just the way I remember as a kid. The neighborhood still seems to get quite a bit of trick-or-treaters, too! Kenzy still trick-or-treats. She absolutely loves it. I tease some of my old neighbors, saying when she gets too old, can we still come trick-or-treating? They, of course, welcome us with open arms. I’ll be sad when the day comes that our kids are officially too old to trick-ortreat, though. I remember when Ty was born, we took him out when he was old enough, and how fun it was. It had been years since I had been out trick or treating! See, if we lived somewhere where we got trick-or-treaters, it would be different, but we don’t. We live in the country where there are zero trick-or-treaters. But just because we live out doesn’t mean I don’t decorate like I do get trick-or-treaters. Remember a few weeks ago when I told you about Bonnie & Clyde? Our real life size skellys that I bought last season and had so much fun with? I wanted people to wonder what they were getting into each year after last year having them roasting marshmallows around a fire. I seriously think we are the only house on our entire

road to decorate for Halloween this year, and the main road we live on is a few miles long. I mean, out here, you’re like, “Who sees it anyway?” But I still love doing it! I think it brings the magic back from when I was a kid, and I love giving that to my kids and other kids who drive by at night and see it. Right there, all the work is totally worth it. We have a longer driveway, and our house sits in a woods setting. But at the bottom of our driveway, you can see better from the main road, so that’s where Bonnie & Clyde always park their boney butts. is year, they weren’t sitting, though. ey were standing!
(Impressive. I know.) My hubby helped with that part, haha.
Picture this. It’s a fall night, and the moon is shining brightly. Two skeletons are standing in the light of the moon. (And maybe a spotlight light that’s shining right on them.) Around them are graves that glow neon colors with a black light. Clyde is holding his prize position of his sweet, bright orange Les Paul guitar. He is playing “Dragula” by Rob Zombie. Bandana wrapped around his thick black hair and a smile real big on his face. Next to him proudly stands Bonnie. She’s wearing her new look of long blonde hair and also wearing a bandana. Just standing there looking as foxy as she can next to her man, the lead guitarist. She’s jammin’ with her man but still has time to wave to folks as they drive by. She’s super friendly that way. In the ground pops out these two skeleton hands from a grave. ey put up the rock-

er hand symbol as they felt the beat below to the song Dragula. It’s a rock concert in a graveyard, and Bonnie & Clyde came to party. Coyotes howl in the distance, and an owl hoots in the tree above. It’s Hallow’s Eve, baby, and everyone has come to rock!
Happy Halloween!!

How Has Lycoming County Voted In Previous Presidential Elections
By Lou Hunsinger Jr.
nois rival, received 2,402 votes, and John Bell had 187.
ercifully, the long, contentious Presidential election contest is winding down, but it might be interesting to look back and see how Lycoming County has voted in previous Presidential elections.
Webb Weekly has researched how Lycoming County has voted in Presidential races since 1860. We have found that the Republican Presidential candidate carried this county in 31 of the 41 Presidential elections from 1860 through 2020.
In the 1860 and 1864 elections, Lycoming County was very supportive of Abraham Lincoln. In 1860, Lincoln received 6,174 votes to John Breckenridge’s 3,494 votes. Stephen Douglas, Lincoln’s old Illi-
In 1864, Lincoln received 7,608 votes to George McClellan’s 3,401 votes. Lincoln ran ahead in Lycoming County of his statewide margin, with 55.30 percent to 51.65 statewide.
In one surprising instance, in the 1912 race, Lycoming County was carried by third-party candidate former President eodore Roosevelt of the Bull Moose Party. ose results showed Roosevelt garnering 5,208 votes, Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who won the Presidency that year, 3,039 votes, and incumbent Republican President William Howard Ta trailing in third place in the county with 1,631 votes.
Another third-party candidate who did well but who, unlike Roo-
sevelt, did not carry the county was H. Ross Perot, who gathered 9,170 votes for a percentage of 21.24 percent of the vote in 1992. In the next presidential canvass in 1996, he also did well, capturing almost 10 percent of the vote with a smaller 3,855 votes. e next best third-party candidate who placed fairly well was Robert LaFollette in 1924, who ran on a Progressive Party ticket. He received 10.17 percent of the vote, 2,432 votes. In 1968, Alabama Governor George C. Wallace got about six percent of the Lycoming County vote.
Six of the 10 times a non-Republican Presidential candidate carried the county occurred from 1868 to 1896.
In recent Presidential contests, the results have been very lopsided in favor of the Republicans. No Democratic Presidential candidate has earned 40 percent or more of county votes since Jimmy Carter captured 44.28 percent of the vote in 1976.
In the last eight Presidential elec-
tions, in 2020, Donald Trump had 41,480 votes to Joe Biden’s 16,921; in 2016, Donald Trump had 35,627 votes to Hillary Clinton’s 13,020 votes; in 2012, Obama won only 32.59 percent; in 2008, Obama garnered just 34.33 percent, Kerry in 2004, 31.33, Gore in 2000, 33.96, Clinton in 1996, 34.50, and Clinton in 1992, 30.84.
e worst drubbing any Democratic candidate took locally was in 1928 when Herbert Hoover crushed Al Smith 28,720 for 79.48 percentage points to Smith’s 7,132, or 19.74 percent.
Even the martyred John F. Kennedy took a beating in Lycoming County in 1960, gathering 18,351 votes for only 37.85 percent of the local vote.
Of the 41 Presidential elections between 1860 and 2020, Lycoming County voters voted for the eventual winner in 23 of them. It appears that we may be a bellwether of sorts in presidential contests, so keep your eyes on the results of the Lycoming County election night.

Pine Creek Valley Wellness Center To Hold Open House
Afor people to explore themselves. The focus of counseling varies with every person based on their specific needs. For example, we can explore feelings, behaviors, boundaries, opportunities for self-care, processing situations and symptoms, and educate clients on building a healthy lifestyle. My first session is an intake where the client and I work together to make a treatment plan to create our focus of counseling and start building rapport. Continued sessions work on their goals in treatment and building overall mental health.
Dave: Why is counseling important, and how does it relate to mental health?
ccording to Mental Health America, a national nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of mental health, well-being, and illness prevention, approximately 50 million Americans are currently experiencing some form of mental illness. In addition, over 12.1 million adults have reported serious thoughts of suicide at some point. While it is abundantly clear that there is a significant mental health crisis in the United States, there is only one mental health provider for every 350 people. The numbers are even worse for rural communities. This is where Pine Creek Valley Wellness Center has stepped up to fill the gap. The clinic, located in Avis in Clinton County, acts as a sort of hub for multiple providers that run their own practices. As a health educator, I was interested in knowing more about the operation, so I reached out to co-owner, Ashley Hershberger. Dave: What is counseling, and what actually takes place during a session?
Ashley: Counseling is an opportunity
Ashley: Mental health is essential for so many reasons. Our mental health influences how we think, behave, and feel. Counseling is an opportunity to work with a professional to explore these areas in an open, safe environment. Let me phrase it another way - I want you to think of a car. A car has many parts, but the motor is needed for the car to actually run. Think of our brain as the

but also feel comfortable with how it works.
Dave: Who is counseling for?
Ashley: Anyone! Counseling is for anyone looking to strengthen their mental health.
Dave: I heard there is a mental health crisis in the US, and there are not enough providers. Can you talk about this?
Ashley: Yes, let’s start with our area; we live in a rural community, so our
opportunities are limited. Let’s look at the number of providers in the area and the need for counseling services. Clients may not be able to find providers due to many barriers, including insurance, self-pay fees, transportation, and scheduling. Additionally, society has taken a toll on individuals with its continuous stressors. It can be very challenging to navigate through life, and my goal as a provider is to build a stronger community. Resources are just limited, which is why Pine Creek Valley Wellness Center is here. We wanted to add more oppor-

She helped teach me about private practice, so I started my own business and was here with her part-time while I worked at an agency full-time.

“Evening”). is explains why older occurrences still carry an apostrophe, as in Agatha Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party, basis for the recent lm A Haunting in Venice.
All Hallow’s Eve, of course, is the night before “All Hallow’s Day,” better known as “All Saints’ Day.” Celebrated for centuries in several Christian denominations, it’s a Nov. 1 observance that honors past saints — particularly those who were martyred for their faith.
I guess the writer is hoping to capitalize not only on seasonal scariness, but also on one of those phenomena whose name is right at home here in Webb’s Weird Words: triskaidekaphobia.
In other words … fear of the number 13.

From an etymological standpoint, this term reaches 13 by combining the common numerical bases for three (tri) and ten (deka, as in decade, decimal, decimate and many other English words). We’ll get to the phobia part later in this late-October edition of Weird Words — which looks at vocab related to the season.
Perhaps we can begin with a quick dissection of the term Halloween, which is a contraction of “All Hallow’s Eve” (or
I’m unclear on how the previous evening came to be associated with ghouls, pumpkins and free candy; but then, these columns don’t profess expertise in history or holidays — only in oddball vocabulary words. Regular readers will thus recall my countless references to — and copious praises of — various English dictionaries. But we haven’t talked much about that other invaluable vocab tool: the thesaurus.
My favorite of these is Roget’s International, published by Harper & Row in 1979. Among many virtues, it has the unusual feature of being organized topically. As an example, three seasonal entries
Quality
include “evil
bad, and bad would be listed under wicked.
As for Halloween: One of the book’s longest topical entries is “fear, frighteningness” (didn’t even know that latter was a word!). is listing covers more than three full pages, with 42 distinct subcategories.
Apparently, human beings are easily — and very frequently — scared.
Eight broad types of phobias are listed: fear of people, animals, things, natural phenomena, disease, situations, places and activities.
Here are a few:
Parthenophobia, fear of young girls. Apparently, this was a thing long before the spate of recent horror lms with scary little urchins (e.g., e Ring, Orphan and even the older but still frightening Bad Seed,from 1956).
Hagiophobia, fear of saints. Probably folks who su er from this nd All Hallow’s Day a lot scarier than Oct. 31. A similar dread is papaphobia, which is fear of the Pope — perhaps more understandable than saints….
Zoophobia, the fear of animals; this includes such subcategories as the ever-popular musophobia (fear of mice),
ophiciophobia (snakes), helminthophobia (worms) and pediculophobia (lice).
Ergophobia is the fear of work, which is clearly on the rise nowadays, especially among employees. (“Most people stop looking for work once they nd a job.”)
Among the more unusual fears in Roget’s list: acerophobia (sourness); hedonophobia (pleasure); chromophobia (color); nudophobia (nakedness); logophobia (words — no danger of that here!); bromidrosiphobia (body odor); amathophobia (dust); anthophobia ( owers); aulophobia ( utes — seriously?); and, most amusing to say out loud: the self-explanatory telephonophobia.
And nally there’s a group of truly bizarre fears which, as far as I can tell, leave you basically helpless for ordinary life: Phagophobia (swallowing); stasophobia (standing); barophobia (gravity — in which case, I guess you move to outer space); haptophobia or thixophobia (touch); ophresiophobia or olfactophobia (yep, fear of smell); and the truly paralyzing rectophobia, which is fear of the rectum. (I dunno — do folks with that latter have a self-sacri cing friend to help them wipe?).
And if this proliferation of terrors itself is scaring you … well, you just might have phobophobia, which is fear of fear itself.
Phew! In light of all these horrors, I guess a few grinning jack-o-lanterns and kids with plastic fangs doesn’t seem so scary. Happy Halloween.
UPMC Allergist: Spring Isn’t the Only Allergy Season
By Nathaniel Hare, M.D. UPMC Allergy and Immunology
As fall begins and the leaves change color, many people expect their allergies to improve with the end-of-summer blooms. However, some still find themselves sneezing and sniffling, even as the flowers fade. Before discarding your tissue box, it’s important to recognize potential fall allergy triggers. Is It Allergies?
Distinguishing between allergies and other
illnesses like colds or flu can be difficult in the fall, as both are common. Typical allergy symptoms include:
– Cough from postnasal drip
– Itchy and watery eyes
– Itchy nose or throat
– Nasal congestion, sneezing and stuffy or runny nose
These symptoms can overlap with those of a cold or flu. However, a fever, chills, or upset stomach usually signals something more than allergies. If you’re unsure, consult your doctor for guidance on your symptoms and

treatment.
Allergy symptoms are your body’s immune response to irritants such as pollen, dust mites, mold, and animal dander. When exposed to these triggers, your body releases chemicals like histamines, which cause symptoms such as a runny nose, watery eyes, rashes, coughing, or wheezing. While springtime allergies are well-known, fall also brings its own set of triggers, especially ragweed and molds.
Treating Fall Allergies
Just like with any allergy, the best way to try to prevent issues is to try to stay away from the things you’re allergic to. But that can be difficult when you’re allergic to mold — or pollen, which blows in the air and settles on everything in its path. Here are a few tips to reduce exposure or avoid the allergens.
– Close your windows. While fall days may seem like the perfect time to let in some fresh air, open windows welcome pollen. In the fall, when your allergies are high, use your home’s air conditioner or heat instead, if possible (depending on the temperature outside).
– Wash your hands and face. Who doesn’t love autumnal activities like apple-picking, hiking or trick-or-treating? But as fun as they are, they all expose you to pollen. After you’ve spent time outdoors, take care to wash your hands and face when you return indoors, which will help get rid of lingering pollen.
– Change your clothes. It’s not just your skin: Pollen even settles on your clothes. In addition to washing yourself off, you may consider changing into an outfit untainted
by pollen, which will keep the sneezy stuff further from you.
– Delegate yardwork. Somebody’s got to mow the lawn — but, if at all possible, avoid outdoor chores that kick up allergens, like pulling up weeds and raking leaves. While these strategies can help reduce pollen exposure, it’s difficult to avoid it entirely. Many seasonal allergy symptoms can be managed at home with over-the-counter treatments like nasal sprays, antihistamines, and decongestants. It’s best to take allergy medication before symptoms become severe, especially on days with high pollen counts, which can be tracked through weather websites or local news.
If over-the-counter treatments aren’t enough, consider scheduling a doctor’s appointment. Your doctor can review your history of symptoms and may recommend allergy testing. Based on the results, different medications or treatments might be suggested, depending on how your body reacts to specific allergens. Once the first hard frost of the year hits, it’s likely that mold and pollen allergy symptoms will improve as well.
By taking precautions and seeking appropriate treatment, you can better manage your fall allergies and reduce their impact on your daily life.

Williamsport Sun October 30, 1951
City Charter “Saved” by Clerk
Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.
City Clerk William S. Corter was sort of a hero at City Hall today. He “saved” the City Charter; a document almost as precious to Williamporters as the Declaration of Independence. And it all started as an accident.
It was about 5 p.m. yesterday and the City Clerk was in his office preparing to go home but just then while walking past the fireplace, he heard a noise overhead and if something was giving way. Instinctively, his arms went up. His hands grasped the framed Charter.
The nail holding the frame was about 10 feet from the floor. It pulled out, dropping the frame to the top of the mantelpiece where it
fell into Mr. Corter’s hands.
Today the Charter has a new and lower location in the office behind the city clerk’s desk.
City Hall officials who heard about the almost fantastic “rescue” agree that the charter would have surely been torn had it continued coming down. Since there is glass on both sides — because there is handwriting on both sides of the document it probably would have shattered.
The document was signed by Governor John F. Hartranft on February 4, 1876, although Williamsport officially became a third-class city on January 15, 1866. The charter is worn through in several spots where it was creased at the time.
The 75-year-old document had a close call but was saved because it happened to fall at the right time.

he successful rationalization of a temptation brings about a very dangerous state of mind called blackout. In blackout, a good man is no longer capable of considering the terrible consequences that will be unleashed when he crosses a moral line. He is no longer thinking of his wife and children, his God and church, his future and potential, his mother and father, his co-workers and friends – he isn’t thinking at all. He is in blackout.
Every good man who has committed a moral failure will later ask himself, “What was I thinking?” That question reveals the existence of blackout. The truth is, he wasn’t thinking. The ability to think was forfeited when rationalization allowed a good man to twist a bad thing into a good thing.
Adam entered blackout when he rationalized that God was trying to hold him back. Moses entered blackout when he justified his anger. David entered blackout after convincing himself he deserved Bathsheba. Judas entered blackout when he felt the weight of silver in his hand. Peter entered blackout when his fear was intensified by
a nosey servant girl. Blackout causes a good man to completely forget the dire and far-reaching consequences of his actions. In the backstory of a moral failure, blackout is the most dangerous stage.
Blackout inflicts a particularly painful wound on the innocent victims left in the wake of a good man’s failure. It is exceedingly difficult for a man’s wife and children to understand how they could have been forgotten while their husband and father were committing terrible acts. It makes no sense to them at all.
That’s what Achan’s family faced when he entered blackout. His story is found in Joshua 6-7.
During the conquering of Jericho, the first city in the promised land, Joshua gave this command to the Israelites, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab, the prostitute, and all who are with her in her house shall be spared because she hid the spies we sent. But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise, you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble to it. All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.” The command and the consequences were
Tim Hartzell
clear - and Achan understood what was at stake.
While doing his part to conquer the city, Achan stumbled across some plunder. By his own admission, he coveted what he wasn’t supposed to have and entered blackout. He forgot about his own destruction and made the camp of Israel liable to destruction. He forgot about his family and the destruction he could bring home to them. He simply blacked out. He took some of the devoted plunder and buried it under his tent.
e next day, Israel set out to conquer the town of Ai. Military spies reported that the town would fall easily, but that’s not the way it went. e ghting was erce, and thirty-six Israelites were killed. e loss didn’t make any sense at all. It ignited fear in the Israelite camp.
Joshua fell to his face and cried out to God in a prayer of desperation. God’s response is given in Joshua 7:10-13, e Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. ey have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. at is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction. Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, ‘Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow; for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ere are devoted things among you, Israel.
You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.
Achan had plenty of time to step forward, confess his sin, and return the devoted plunder. Had he done that, maybe his family would have been spared. Maybe he would have been spared. He weighed his options and chose coverup over confession. at’s the trouble with choices made during blackout – they lead to more bad choices.
Achan’s sin was exposed by God, and then he was executed. His family was also executed. Achan brought trouble home to his family. Achan made thirty-six innocent warriors and their families liable to destruction. Achan made Joshua desperate and Israel fearful. God had been very clear about the consequences, but Achan was in blackout and couldn’t see any of it. is is going to sound dire, but it needs to be said: e only hope for a man who has entered blackout is a true friend who is willing to slap him back into consciousness. Proverbs 27:6 declares, Wounds from a friend can be trusted.
James 5:19 says, My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
If you’re in blackout, I pray a true friend will be willing to confront you. I pray that this article will confront you. Unless something jars you out of blackout, you are going to fall, and the consequences will be devastating.
The Roving Sportsman… Home on the Range
Bowhunters talk about it. As rifle hunters gather at deer camp, the subject will no doubt come up, as it usually does year after year. Research has been conducted across the country on this topic. Yet, to many hunters, the home range of a whitetail buck remains a bit of a mystery, so let’s look at some of the data.

From birth in the spring until about September, a newly born buck will remain with the mother as she travels within her home range of less than a square mile. The initial social groups that form after birthing are usually an adult doe, her fawns, and her yearling female offspring. Sometimes, three or four generations of related does are present in a family group, but in late May, adult does become aggressive toward their yearling offspring, temporarily severing ties with the family group and remaining alone
to bear and raise their fawns. This breakup of the family group could result in a young buck moving away from the mother’s home range. If a young buck remains in the mother’s home range, it tends to group with siblings until September, when that group tends to break up as the rut approaches. As they disperse from the mother’s home range, yearling bucks travel 3 to 5 miles on average, although dispersal movements of more than 40 miles have occurred. After the breeding season in late January, bucks form loose associations of usually 2 to 4 animals and remain in bachelor groups until September, when the rut starts again.
Generally speaking, these bucks tend to remain in a home range of about one square mile. However, that area can encompass 3 to 5 square miles during the rut as their daily travel increases in search of an estrus doe. Throughout most of the year, a buck will travel from 1 to 4

miles from the core area, generally searching for food. During the rut, however, travel from the core area can reach 5 to 6 miles per day for yearling to 3-year-old bucks, with that distance being even greater for bucks over 3 years of age. e “bedto-feed” travel pattern will vary, especially as a buck matures, and will vary even more during the rut.
Extensive research has shown that the size of a buck’s home range or core area increases as the buck matures, and the travel distance they cover increases with age as well. Food, cover, and water are the key factors in determining the size of a home range until the rut begins, and then both the core area and the daily travel distances increase dramatically. is is why, when hunting in the areas you usually frequent, you may easily see a buck you have never caught on a trail camera or observed in any previous scouting you may have done.
Hunting pressure can greatly affect the size of a buck’s home range. Bucks respond quickly to any degree
of hunting pressure and will reduce their overall movement to less than their home range. ey also shi their daylight movement toward heavier cover and away from open areas and o en become completely nocturnal in their activities.
Many bucks, especially as they mature, tend to establish dual home ranges or core areas—one used throughout most of the year, where they focus on merely food, water, and cover, and the other usually nearby, where they dedicate their time during the rut. While these two areas were most o en within a mile of each other, cases have occurred where they were up to 18 miles apart!
Being a successful whitetail hunter is o en based upon your knowledge of the habits and habitat of the deer in the areas you hunt. e home range of a particular buck is only one factor, but along with preseason scouting and being able to read what scrapes and rubs during the rut are telling you will go a long way toward securing some tasty venison for the dinner table!
This past week, my brother, Dave, and I hit an area lake, hoping to pick up some good perch.
e lake we were shing in isn’t known for large numbers of perch, but it does occasionally give up a few good-sized perch. Shortly a er leaving the launch, Dave’s white jig and grub combination picked up a nice yellow perch over the thirteen-inch mark. e remainder of the a ernoon yielded several decent pickerel but no more big perch, which is typical for that lake.
Perch can actually be taken the year around and even in the dead of winter. In fact, yellow perch are o en a prime target for us ice shermen since they can be active feeders through the winter months, and they are at the top of the sh dinner list. Yellow perch are, of course, in the perch family, but so are walleyes, and for those of us who like eating freshwater sh, the perch family probably tops the list. Perch are easy to llet, and with the skin removed, the rm white llet rolled in eggs, seasoned bread crumbs, and fried in butter is hard to beat.
Although perch can be taken the year around, you still have to nd them, which can sometimes be challenging. Generally speaking, perch are mostly a deeper water sh, and unlike bluegills, you’re not like-
ly to see them in a foot or two of water. In April or early May, perch will move into protected bays in water 5-12 feet to spawn. ey prefer sand, gravel, and rock bottoms with some scattered weeds or brush. For the most part, a er spawning, perch will pretty much be found in the deeper water; deep in our local lakes would mean in the 15 to 25-foot depths. In the fall, perch may move shallower around rocky shorelines, but the bigger perch will o en be separated from the smaller perch and move to deeper water. In larger lakes like Lake Erie, perch may spawn deeper. Lake Erie also has a reputation for producing much larger perch and greater numbers. A thirteen-inch perch in our local lakes is a real treat since most perch will run in the 7-12-inch range, but that’s pretty normal in Lake Erie.
Our usual perch shing technique is using an ultralight open-faced spinning outt with a six-pound test line. A small sixteenth-ounce lead head jig with a 1-2 inch so plastic grub is usually the lure of choice. Keeping a tight line a er the cast is important to feel any hits and be ready to set the hook. Something else that o en works is to troll slowly with the lure deep enough to pick up schooling sh. What color lure or grub? at’s always up for grabs; sometimes white

is the top choice, but we have also done well with brown, chartreuse, yellow, purple, gold, and combinations of colors. I like to use grubs or small tubes with re ective ecks mixed in with any given color. Certainly, live bait like worms and live minnows will also work. Keep your presentations on the small side since perch have relatively small mouths and can’t open wide enough to grab large presentations. If you are shing deeper water and prefer using a bobber to detect strikes, you may want to utilize the slip bobber technique, which allows you to select the depth to where you want to stop the bobber. Not only can catching perch make for an enjoyable outing, but serving baked or fried llets adds even more enjoyment.

f you blinked, you might have missed it. The 2024 high school football regular season is in the history books, and those qualifying for the District IV playoffs begin their hopedfor quest for PIAA gold this weekend.
The season passed has seen its share of exciting games, record-breaking performances, and stunning developments extenuated by perennial state champion Southern Columbia experiencing four losses to Wyomissing, Mt. Carmel, Danville, and Mifflinburg. But all those teams entering district play have one thing in common: all are 0-0, and their dreams are still alive.
Scott Lowery
position they have to for us to be successful.
“Heading into this season, we knew we had graduated a lot of talented seniors, but we had a good core of guys coming back. Any time you are bringing back players like Austin Johnson, Landyn Wommer and Stiles Eyer, it is great to have those athletes and senior leaders on the field for us.”
While optimism ran high, the Indians opened the season with a 28-21 defeat at Warrior Run.
Among the championship hopefuls are Sean Tetreault’s Muncy Indians, who have rebounded in a big way from last year’s loss in the district finals and are looking to claim another Class A crown.
“The kids ended last year with a bad taste in their mouths and were excited to get back to work and grind,” Tetreault told the media earlier in the year. “The kids stepped up and told the coaches they were willing to play whatever
“In that loss to Warrior Run, we left a lot of points off the board with dropped passes and other mistakes. As a result, it was a reinvigorating sense of the work we had to do. They had to work hard to get to their goals, and that loss fueled them to not leave any doubt that they had to work hard every day.”
Going into last Friday’s game at Hughesville, the scoreboard has been spinning ever since as Muncy’s offense has been rolling. During weeks two through nine, they have outscored opponents 428-119, three times topping 60 points—each time inflicting the mercy rule. Most of the points given up have come after the starters have left
Mercy rule games can be a doubleedged sword. It is beneficial to have young players receive additional playing time, but it comes at the expense of limiting the starter’s sharpness to stay ready for the playoff games ahead.
“It is one of those things we talk about to our kids all the time,” Tetreault added. “It doesn’t matter who we play or the score of the game; we are going to play hard for four quarters or forever long the players are on the field. So, for our kids, we want to jump out to an early lead, and if the starters don’t get as much work as they need as they would have for four quarters, but when they are on the field, they know they are playing hard. If they give us 100% effort when they are out there, that is all we can ask for.”
The trio of Johnson, Wommer, and Eyer have all seen their share of spectacular play, as exhibited in a 49-21 win at South Williamsport earlier this season. Johnson was ‘Bragaloneianlike’ rambling for 214 yards and four touchdowns; Wommer scored on a 97yard scamper while catching a 58-yard TD from Eyer.
“Austin Johnson has rewritten the record books here at Muncy for touchdowns and rushing. Landyn is a great second back to have, and his skill set keeps opponents honest because
they can’t just concentrate on Austin. Stiles has been a two-year quarterback for us. He knows how to put us in the right play and keep us going. All three of them are very unselfish. They don’t care who’s having a good game; they are just happy the team is having success.”
A few years ago, Muncy added a new weight room to its athletic complex. Led by all-state lineman Ken Hampe, the facility is being put to good use with 14 players topping 200 pounds.
“We emphasize to our kids that if they are playing the line, they can’t be 130 pounds. They put in a lot of work in the weight room with Coach Mike Davis. The results have really helped us because the players have added weight and are playing the physical brand of football we like.”
No strangers to the playoffs, Tetreault and his tribe, are shooting for district gold, having won three consecutive crowns in 2018-19-20.
“We talk about it all the time. We want to have a home playoff game. We are going to have one in at least the first round, and we’ll let the chips fall where they may. We are excited. We’ve chalked up our fourth league title in a row. This senior class knows what it takes to win the NTL, and now we are looking forward to getting back to the district playoffs, playing physical football, and playing hard for four quarters.
KANAGY’S
Ihave been spending a great deal of time at my beloved alma mater. Yes. I nd myself taking a stroll down memory lane. I called a few football games for IPT SPORTS. Beautiful stadium. I love the new track—incredible setting. I drop Jensen o every Tuesday and ursday. He is playing hoops for the Millionaires, and he is currently helping some youngsters. I will touch base on that a little later. A lot has changed in the past 29 years, but I still get goosebumps whenever I head to the Taj Mahal.
Jensen and I have been taking this trip for many seasons. We sometimes wave to the footballers who are nishing up practice. While the band is outside marching, occasionally, there is a tennis match or cross-country meet holding up tra c. ere is swimming, gymnastics, and volleyball, too. WAHS is a very busy place, and there is always something to do. Holy deer. I counted ten in the C lot last evening. Allen Taylor is a great dude. I have known and worked with Coach T for several years. He does a great job with his LITTLE MILLIONAIRE program. Youngsters from the district have been developing their skills for the past six
weeks. Over 125 kids. ey practice and learn the fundamentals two days out of the week. e entire community gathers on Saturday mornings to watch games in the gymnasium. Now Jensen gets mad when I show up a little early to watch. He is no longer one of the youngsters, and the Millionaire players are now helping coach. I will stand in the corner and shake a few hands. is gym is a very special place to me and my fam. e MAGIC DOME is grand.
I can’t possibly tell you the number of times I stepped foot on this oor, nor can I describe my euphoric feelings when I walk through the doors. It still looks and smells the same. Yes, there have been a few upgrades. You see, this court and I go back a long way. I practically lived in this historic gym back in the day.
I started as a fan and eventually became someone who occasionally got to “participate” in practice. Okay, I can totally b and insert a few bogus stat lines, but I was the ninth man on an eight-man rotation. I had the best seat in the DOME for my entire scholastic career. We went to Hershey in 1995. We nished second in the State that
year. A fantastic run that was overshadowed by the team that won it all in 1999. I didn’t get any PT in that game. No worries. But I was on re in pregame warmups. I did score 12 points in three minutes during our last home game. No YouTube back then. I may have it on VHS. Coach Pete White is the man. We still talk, and he will reach out from time to time. He tells me to not sell myself short. Coach reminds me that I was a big part of our team’s success. at means a lot coming from the guy. But I seriously think he only kept me around because I had a car, and I helped boost the team’s GPA. It’s my column, Pete.
I then became a coach when my playing days came to an end. Oh, what an honor was to watch my Montoursville Warriors knock o the Mighty Millionaires in 2008. at night still ranks as one of my greatest moments. It was the upset of the century. I also got to coach two District 4 Championships in the DOME when I was at St. John Neumann. Now that I am retired, perhaps I will get back to broadcasting
games. Stayed tuned. Breaking news?
games. Stayed tuned. Breaking news? Yes. I always enjoyed calling my beloved alma matter. I did my best to replace Ken Sawyer. at was very short-lived. WRAK’s choice.
Jensen will be on the JV team this winter. I am looking forward to watching him from the stands. Again. is place is spectacular. I have been a fan, player, coach, broadcaster, and now a proud parent in the MAGIC DOME. Special thanks to Coach Taylor and his group for another fantastic six weeks of LITTLE MILLIONAIRES. Kudos to Demar Wright, Lamar Ballard, Brandon Lusk, Tyree Kirkpatrick, Josh Aarons, and the other Millionaires for lending a hand. Basketball is the best. We wish you the best of luck this season, and I can’t wait to see you again. Cheers.
