Wow, the fact that the Eagles Mere toboggan run is on the front cover tells you what kind of January weather we’ve had. It’s the first time in over a decade the Eagles Mere Volunteer Fire Department has been able to benefit from the topography and winter weather in Sullivan County. It is an amazing event that I recommend for the young and the young at heart. When my parents took me, they probably got tired of hearing me say, let’s do it again. I’m sure those words will be echoing across the lake as the toboggans reach the end of the journey.
Now, here’s some really good news: this is our last issue of January; we already have half an hour more daylight than just a month ago, and as I’m penning this, the folks in Punxsutawney are getting ready for Phil’s big appearance.
February is the shortest month of the year; before you know it, the calendar will read March. March 1st has always
been my unofficial first day of spring. Sure, we can have more winter weather, but the end is in sight. That makes me want to go down that toboggan run because before too long, meteorologists will be reporting about the record heat, which is a new exclusive.
Now, to the breaking news exclusive you will only find in the Webb Weekly. Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog will not see his shadow, there will be an early spring. I have inside information that Phil will not be present at Gobbler’s Knob on February 2nd. No groundhog, no shadow, and no problem the way I see it.
Now for the real story: Punxsutawney Phil was made aware of what college mascots are now making due to the new college football playoff and the NIL money players are now receiving. If you are unaware, NIL stands for Name, Image, and Likeness. This has totally changed the landscape of college football, which is now professional football at the college level.
Unbeknownst to me — but definitely
realized by Punxsutawney
Phil — was that mascots are entitled to NIL money. Thus, Phil just simply made a business decision when he realized he was being undervalued by the guys in top hats, long coats, and ties in Punxsutawney. Penn State Head Coach James Franklin was even summoned to negotiate with the star of the show. Whatever happened, Punxsutawney Phil walked away through the port hole like many college players do. That is not a misprint; in Phil’s case, it was a port hole, not a portal.
I received a call from an anonymous whistleblower — Phil will now be working alongside Brutus the Buckeye at the Ohio State University. This makes complete sense based upon the Buckeyes’ 20-million-dollar payroll this year, coupled with the increased revenue created by their recent National Championship.
Neither Phil nor his agent answered my request for comment. Although Editor Steph received an invite to a press conference in Columbus, Ohio, on Groundhog Day, February 2nd.
This press conference discredits a rumor that Phil was taken into custody for being part of an illegal performance-enhancing drug ring. The purpose of the PEDs for groundhogs is recovery from automobile encounters. As the motorist speeds away, the groundhog is enabled by the PEDs to walk away. I’m told this is a big money racket in Western PA. By obtaining a copy of Phil’s most recent drug test, I was able to prove he was clean of any performance enhancers. There is a Phil’s legal defense fund now selling t-shirts saying Phil is clean, he left for the green.
No, I haven’t been out in the cold too long or hit my head at the toboggan run. I just figured with the cabin fever so many of us are feeling it was time for a little late January, or let’s call it, February Fool’s story. I know April is the appropriate month for spoofing. It’s also very expected, and hopefully, I’m outside on a warm spring day watching a baseball game.
No matter what you choose to do, get out and about and break up the monotony.
Let’s all be safe out there.
God Bless America.

Come Up and “Z” Me Sometime: Weird Words with Our Last Letter
By Joseph W. Smith III
Even though 2025 has only just begun, we’ve reached a sort of “end” in Webb’s Weird Words: namely, the letter Z — as we nish our look at oddball vocab using X, Y and Z
Despite the letter’s relative rarity in English, I found such an abundance of oddball Z-words that I’ve divided my end-ofthe-alphabet list in two. We’ll begin this week with weird words featuring Z in the middle or at the end (or both!) — saving those that start with Z for our nal installment in this short series.
Here’s a doZen:
Bumfuzzle (bum-FUZZ-ull, verb) – Terri c Southern slang meaning “to confuse or uster.” Of uncertain origin; perhaps a blend of bamboozle and fuddle — or fuzzy.
Hizzoner (hi-ZAHN-ur, noun) – Another slang term — this one found only in the sprawling and idiosyncratic Collins English Dictionary. Meaning a U.S. mayor or judge, it is nothing more than a slangy respelling of “his honor.” Gotta love it!
Izzard (IZ-urd, noun) – Another informal term, this one an alternate name for the letter Z. According to the wonderful American Heritage Dictionary, this unusual term might be modeled on the Scottish ezed, which is in turn related to the better-known zed — both referring to our last
letter!
Izzat (IZ-ut, noun) – Indian word meaning dignity, honor or prestige.
Katzenjammer (KAT-sen-jam-ur, noun) – Again from AHD: “a loud, discordant noise; a hangover; a state of depression or bewilderment.” From German, where it originally meant “cat-wailing” (i.e., caterwaul).
Readers of a certain age may recall the long-running “Katzenjammer Kids” comic, which ran in American periodicals from 1897 to 1949. Focused on a pair of rambunctious young brothers, it later morphed into “ e Captain and the Kids,” persisting well into the 21st century.
Mezzotint (MET-so-tint, noun) – A type of engraving and printing that involves scraping or roughening a metal plate, usually with many small pits; the resulting images are, according to Wikipedia, able to represent “half-tones” — that is, not fully black or white; as such, the mezzotint — originating in the 17th century — marked a huge step forward in printing visual art. Mezzo, incidentally, is a Latin word meaning middle, medium or half — as in intermezzo and mezzo-soprano. Pozzuolana (pot-suh-LAH-nuh, noun) –Type of volcanic tu or ash used to make hydraulic cement. (OK, I didn’t even know tu was a word till I found this de nition
at Dictionary.com!) e ancient Romans made use of this substance, nding much of it near the town of Pozzuoli — hence its name.
Putz (PUTTS, noun) – Yiddish word meaning fool, idiot or jerk. Ironic rendering of a German term for “ornament” — and thus, some Webb readers may know it from Pennsylvania Dutch, where it refers instead to a Nativity display (see Online Etymology Dictionary).
Razzmatazz (RAZZ-muh-taz; or razmuh-TAZ, noun) – Actions or speech intended to confuse or deceive (e.g., double-talk). Also: any ashy, extravagant, showy display — o en one lacking real substance. Essentially a synonym for razzle-dazzle, it can also mean commotion, gaiety, vigor or zing.
Schemozzle (shuh-MAHZ-ul, noun) – A confused situation — a muddle or mess; also, an argument or quarrel (Merriam-Webster). Another Yiddish term, it is essentially an inversion of the Hebrew mazel, meaning “luck” — as in mazel tov. Slivovitz (SLIV-uh-vits, noun) “A dry colorless plum brandy” (AHD). Strelitzia (struh-LITZ-ee-uh, noun) – A group of perennial, brightly colored owering plant species native to South Africa — including the bird-of-paradise. According to Wikipedia, the genus was named in honor of the British queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
Join us next time when you can, shall we say, catch up on your Z’s — hopefully without actually falling asleep!

That’s right, y’all! A er 11 years, the famous Toboggan Slide in Eagles Mere is set to re-open on Friday, January 31st!
Before we get to the details, let’s go over the history a bit! Created by the volunteer re company, the ice toboggan slide has been delighting winter visitors since 1904.
According to the group’s website:
From the mountaintop of Eagles Mere, downhill slopes are found in all directions, lengths, and grades. It is assumed that even in the early 1800s, families found wintertime pleasure in sledding on the hills and skating on the lake.
paths, and our well-known Laurel Path around the lake. One of his monumental contributions was sounding out and making a map of the Eagles Mere Lake depths theretofore unknown.
He began work on a design and method for building a toboggan slide that would be safe and sturdy and would be a continued pleasure for Eagles Mere residents. Today, the slide is executed from these original plans using Capt. Chase’s planer and his method of grooving the ice.
e captain had a wooden toboggan built with three metal runners to t the groove made in the slide’s ice. e townspeople were excited about this project, as were members of e Eagles Mere Land Company, of which Capt. Chase was the general manager.
In 1903, the roadbed of Eagles Mere Avenue was smoothed down by sleds and toboggans for a long time throughout the village. Some more adventurous riders took their snow vehicles to the top of Lake Avenue to hopefully have a swi run down the road far out on the frozen lake.
Capt. E.S. Chase stood at the edge of the lake one January day, watching his grandchildren. ey asked him why he couldn’t build a “real good” toboggan slide down the slope of Lake Avenue. It was a logical idea. Capt. Chase had a “ nger in every pie” in the development of Eagles Mere. He had moved here from Williamsport in 1886 and continually initiated projects such as laying out the street plans of the village, planning and cutting the arrow
e next winter, men and boys declared a holiday and enthusiastically turned out to build the toboggan slide when the ice was declared solid at twelve inches. Hand saws were used. Horse teams with wagons, bobsleds, and strong arms and backs hauled the ice blocks to the foot of Lake Avenue where construction began.
e slide was ready for operation in January 1904. Electric lights were strung over the slide by Walter Trappe using electricity generated by the waters of Hunters Lake, four miles away.
e rst to test the slide was Harry Stevens. As no sled was immediately available, he chose to sit down in a heavy

County Hall Corner: The Amazing Manager Matt McDermott
By Larry Stout
When I was an international business trainer, I often opened a session with an icebreaker. My favorite was to ask the group what the difference between a leader and a manager was. It is a trick question because the name itself is the definition. A leader leads, and a manager manages.
821 Diamond Street - Williamsport, PA 570-322-3466
William H. Kieser, Supervisor www.SandersMortuary.com
This crossed my mind at the January 9th Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting when, after the usual preliminaries, Commissioner President Scott Metzger recognized Matt McDermott for his tenth anniversary as the Lycoming County Director of Administration. The leaders recognized their hard-working, incredibly productive manager who keeps the ball moving.
Commissioners have the tough job of creating a budget and then deciding how the money should be spent, which happens weekly at their public meetings. Leaders have to lead, meaning they must make tough decisions and live with the consequences. On the other hand, there are managers who have to manage the best they can with what they have: personnel, finances, operations, etc. Each department has a department head, and each of these needs someone who gives them
guidelines on what they can and cannot do or help when they don’t know what to do! This is where Matt McDermott comes in.
Lycoming County government has dozens of departments, from Assessments and Conservation to Voter Services and Veterans Affairs. All of these need direction from time to time and also must be aware of the right hand needs to know what the left hand is doing. This is where the Director of Administration comes in. Over the past decade, I have engaged a number of these department heads, and they all say the same thing: Matt is the man who keeps the train on track and helps when problems or questions come up.
Lycoming County is very fortunate to have someone like Matt McDermott in

this position. A Virginia native, Matt served for 26 years in the US Army, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. He was a helicopter pilot and served in command in Afghanistan, among other operations. But he also coordinated emergencies in the USA. During the summer of 2011, Matt McDermott was the key organizer at the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, Virginia, for the disaster response support for the victims of Hurricane Irene. Matt coordinated aircra coming from all over the country and had them staged and prepared to be ready when any state required them.
is ability to deep dive into problems was highlighted by Commissioner Marc Sortman when he noted how Matt worked nonstop day and night to help those recovering from the oods in Trout Run last year. Commissioner Metzger remembered the cluster bomb that COVID brought to the county back in March of 2020. A er the two weeks to “ atten the curve” turned into three weeks, it became clear that there was no end in sight. Metzger noted that the county was receiving contradictory directions coming from Harrisburg “almost hourly.” e Department of Health would require one thing, and PEMA (PA Emergency Management Agency) would require something exactly the opposite.
To deal with this quagmire, the Lycoming County Commissioners came up with a
Planning and Coordination Team consisting of themselves and twelve others such as Je Hutchins, Director of Emergency Management, Sheri Mark Lusk, Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr., and Matt McDermott, who just so happened to have a Master’s Degree from Georgetown University in Executive Masters in Emergency & Disaster Management. is team became a model for other counties that did not know which way to go in the COVID fog.
In watching and engaging Matt McDermott over the years, I am mostly impressed with his humility. Commissioner Mussina shared a story of a friend whose son was in ROTC and was considering becoming a helicopter pilot. Mussina asked Matt if he would talk to the young man, and Matt spent an hour in conversation with him. e family was beyond appreciative for helping their boy with an important career move and were amazed that a man in Matt’s position would give up so much time to a stranger.
Former Commissioner Tony Mussare was at the January 9th meeting and added his appreciation for McDermott. He told a story of when he had just become a county commissioner and asked Matt what he considered his #1 priority. Matt did not hesitate with an answer, “To protect you (commissioners) from making mistakes.” Which is exactly what a good manager should be doing. And no one does it better than Matt McDermott.

“Juror
No. 2” … Or Is It “12”?
Eastwood’s Gripping Courtroom Drama
By Joseph W. Smith III
It’s nearly impossible to watch or review Clint Eastwood’s new thriller without harking back to the 1957 classic 12 Angry Men. And that’s a good thing. According to user-reviews at IMDb.com, that granddaddy of all courtroom dramas is the sixth-greatest movie ever made. Eastwood’s latest, Juror No. 2, deliberately evokes its beloved forebear — while also adding a heftier plot and a more nuanced ending.
being out of the house for an indeterminate time, Kemp winds up getting tapped in a well-publicized Georgia murder trial.
Rapidly rising star Nicholas Hoult (Fury Road, About a Boy, Nosferatu) is superb as Justin Kemp, a journalist and recovering alcoholic who is called for jury duty as his wife nears the end of a “high-risk pregnancy.” Despite qualms about
The case’s prosecutor — played by the peerless Toni Collette — is running for D.A. on a platform keyed against domestic abuse; and as she pursues a man who appears to have murdered his girlfriend on a rainy roadside, Kemp becomes convinced that he has a direct connection to the case. It’s a connection that would bring exoneration to the defendant — but total ruin to the earnest young husband.
He’s not exactly guilty of murder — but he’s going to feel that way as the jury leans heavily toward conviction. Indeed, like Henry Fonda’s memorable character in 12 Angry Men, Kemp emerges as the sole
Joseph W. Smith III
While Eastwood and writer Jonathan Abrams indict jittery jurors who rush to conclusions largely because of their own petty prejudices and priorities, the focus is on Kemp: Should he risk confessing — or can he obviate the potential wreckage simply by persuading his fellow-jurors that there’s reasonable doubt?
This is Abrams’s first movie script, and it’s a doozy. Speaking as someone who’s been on a jury and also testified in a murder trial, I felt he muffed some of the procedural matters. But on the other hand, his dialog is solid and his characters are perfectly believable, aided by terrific performances across the board — including a great-as-ever J. K. Simmons. Best of all, he’s got a few major plot developments up his sleeve — as shown especially by the fact that the trial ends after only a third of the movie; but the story just keeps getting more and more compelling.
As director, you can count on
Eastwood to stay out of the way, letting the script and actors do their own work. So the excellent music and cinematography are blissfully unobtrusive; and some clever editing through the case’s opening and closing statements sidesteps the potentially staid and stagey nature of such scenes.
Meanwhile, the script’s great strength is the way it slowly builds parallels between Kemp and the accused — a motif that reaches its apex in a flawless final scene between Collette and Hoult. One keeps wanting Kemp to leap up and shout out the truth. Naturally I won’t reveal whether he does so — but the ending, with subtle references to trusting divine providence, goes right where it has to; among other things, it suggests after all the debate we’ve heard in this case, that people really can change.
Despite strong reviews, the film played in only 35 theaters near the end of last year. It is currently streaming on select platforms.

The Williamsport Crosscutters’ Hot Stove League Banquet, held recently, was a night of baseball, recognition, and charity — and may have been a way to chase away the chilly winter blues.
The event was highlighted with an appearance by Montoursville’s National Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Mike Mussina, as well as ESPN commentator Tim Kurkjian, Phillies third base coach, and former Cutters’ manager Dusty Wathan.
Before the banquet, I talked to Mussina and asked him about his unproductive professional debut with the Hagerstown Suns at Bowman Field against the Williamsport Bills in July 1990.
“I remember I was supposed to make my professional debut at Bowman Field against the Williamsport Bills in July 1990. I had all kinds of family and friends there, and I was a little nervous,” Mussina told me. “The game started, and torrential rains came down in the second inning, and they were unable to go further with the game. The next day, there was another big rain. I ended up
having two professional debuts. The next one, which was able to be played, was in Canton against Canton-Akron. I might be the only guy to have two professional debuts.”
He continued, “I was scouted by several teams. The Orioles drafted me out of high school, but I wanted to get an education, so I went to Stanford on a scholarship. We had some good teams when I was there. We played in the College World Series in 1990 — losing out to Georgia. I was the first-round draft pick by the Orioles and signed after graduation.”
He was asked who the Oriole teammates were he seemed to get along with the most, and he answered, “Brady Anderson, Cal Ripken Jr., and Mike Flanagan, though he hung out the most with his fellow Oriole pitchers.
He described what a thrill it was to pitch in the game that Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig’s consecutive game record.
“I had the privilege and thrill of pitching in the game where Cal Ripen broke the consecutive games played record by Lou Gehrig. That was quite a thrill,” stated Musina. “I gave up a homer early and

was afraid it might wreck Cal’s big night, but he hit a homer, and we went ahead and went on to win the game. It was an electric atmosphere that night.”
Speaking with ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian before the banquet, Kurkjian acknowledged with great sadness he felt at the passing of “Mr. Baseball,” Bob Uecker.
“I was devastated when I heard that Bob Uecker had died. I actually cried. He was the greatest goodwill ambassador that baseball has ever had. I don’t know of anyone who was more beloved than him. He was also the funniest guy I ever met. ere was never a dull moment with him around. It was always a pleasure to be around him,” stated Kurkjian.
He added, “I spoke at the Brewers’ winter baseball banquet about 20 years ago, and Bob was emcee, and he warmed up the crowd for me. He was howlingly funny. It was awful tough to follow him. I think he and Joe Garagiola are the two most decorated and notable second-string catchers of all time. ey were both always very entertaining.”
Current Phillies third base coach and former Cutters’ manager, Dusty Wathan also spoke. He told an amusing anecdote about Hall of Famer George Brett. Dusty’s father, John, was a catcher with the Royals, he volunteered to babysit Dusty when Dusty’s parents wanted to go out for dinner. He said when they came
home, they found Dusty wandering around and, Brett asleep on the couch, and a couple of pizza boxes lying around. He said he doesn’t think they ever used Brett again as a babysitter. He said it is always his task as a third base coach to protect the runners and take any heat for them whether they score on a play or not.
Additionally, at the banquet, the late Tom Dempsey, former State Representative from the 83rd District, was inducted into the Bowman Field Hall of Fame. He was honored for his e orts in obtaining more than $1.5 million in state grant money to renovate Bowman Field. is e ort probably saved professional baseball at Bowman Field as well as extended its life as a viable playing venue. Dempsey’s daughter, Cheryl, accepted the honor on behalf of her father and noted how her parents gained great pleasure in attending games at Bowman Field.
e Williamsport Sports Walk was given another honoree when Bill Reifsnyder, who was ranked the #2 road racer in the world in 1991 and was a two-time American Marathon champion — winning the title in 1989 and 1990 — was honored for his achievements.
A portion of the proceeds from the evening bene ted Lycoming County United Way, which was presented with a check for $15,225.

Public Responding to Funding Plea By Lycoming SPCA For Spay/Neuter Program
By Lou Hunsinger Jr.
Earlier this month, officials at the Lycoming SPCA raised concerns about its continued ability to provide low-cost spay/neuter vouchers. Apparently, this cry for help has started to be answered.
According to Alexa Daniels, Marketing and Development Director for the Lycoming SPCA, that plea is being answered in a big way by one generous donor.
Pamela (Hershberger) Jensen has pledged to match community donations, dollar for dollar, up to $20,000 to restore funding for the SPCA’s spay/neuter vouchers. This program is critical for helping low- and moderate-income pet owners care for their animals and control the local pet population.
Jensen is donating in memory of her late mother, Joyce Simpson Hershberger. Hershberger was a respected community leader and longstanding animal welfare advocate. She served on the SPCA board for many years, including 35 years as its president. Her leadership was instrumental in the campaign to fund and build the current SPCA animal shelter.
“My mom would be delighted to help fill this need,” said Jensen. “She was always ready to serve her community, leading dozens of organizations, often under challenging circumstances. She is greatly missed by her family and by this community. I want to honor her memory with this donation, and I hope others who love animals and understand the SPCA’s vital role in Lycoming County will join me in supporting this worthy cause,” stated Jensen.
The Lycoming County SPCA urges the community to take advantage of this matching opportunity to ensure the spay/neuter program’s continued success. Checks can be made out to “SPCA, Jean Marie White S/N” and mailed to 2805 Reach Road, Williamsport, PA 17701, or by clicking the link http://weblink.donorperfect.com/JMW.
Together, the community can help bridge the funding gap and honor Joyce Simpson Hershberger’s legacy. Her dedication to animal welfare will undoubtedly remain a source of inspiration for many years to come.

Winter Outfit Inspiration
Nor peacock blue, or their Twill Patch Pocket Coat in light gray. Pair either with a knitted beanie, sweater, jeans, and sneakers for a sophisticated take on weekend wear.

ow that we’ve settled into the cold-weather season, I’ve been keeping a lookout for elevated winter outfit inspiration. I know it’s easier to while away the season in soft pants and puffer coats, but every so often, it helps to leave the house in a polished — dare I suggest sophisticated? — look to tackle the day. If you’re in the same style boat as me and are looking to add some elegant items to your winter outfit rotation, here are a few essentials to consider for staying warm and looking chic. First up, outerwear. Sometimes, all you need to turn clothes into an outfit is the right coat. This season, to elevate a jeans and sweatshirt pairing, I’m looking to long wool coats. A longer coat can cover a less dressy ensemble, and a lean wool version provides a bit of polish, especially if you’re throwing it over something simple. I like DKNY’s Wool Wrap Coat, which comes in brown, beige, gray, and a yummy winter white. You can cinch it with the tie waist or let it hang loose. There are some other great options on sale at Loft, like the Doubleface Double Breasted Coat, in camel

Another great piece for winter is the timeless turtleneck. Whether layered under a blazer, button-down, knit, or worn alone, a sleek turtleneck makes any outfit look more elegant and elevated. You can’t go wrong with black, like Spanx’s Better Base Long Sleeve Turtleneck as a slimming layering piece. Or L.L. Bean’s Women’s Cotton/Cashmere Sweater version in navy or light ocean heather. I love the idea of going for a tone-ontone look with the ocean-heather turtle under the peacock blue coat with navy trousers and a loafer. Or layer a turtleneck under a shirt dress with leggings and boots. You can add a turtleneck to just about any winter look to up the chic and warmth factors.
With warmth in mind, look for a large, oversized scarf to keep you cozy and add some drama to your outfit when draped over a shoulder. Consider a scarfmeets-shawl hybrid, like Chico’s Cashmere Wrap in Camel, Ecru, or Black.
is wrap-able piece will add even more polish to a crisp button-down shirt, a midi ared skirt, and knee-high boots. Or go for a two-in-one garment like Free People’s Lillian Scarf Sweater with the scarf attached for built-in coziness when worn with tailored pants or a barrel-leg jean. I also am liking Eliquii’s Scarf Neck Sweater in plus sizes, especially in downtown brown, which pairs surprising well with a black knit pants and sneakers.
Speaking of brown, rich espresso brown colors are trending and give o an expensive air to any look. Whether you go for head-to-toe monochrome, mix it up with similar hues, say mocha mousse, or pair with bright pieces like white jeans, this color feels very rich and gives your basic black a break. Some pieces I’m liking are the scarf sweater mentioned above, Steve Madden’s Delvie Brow Leather boots with kitten heels and pointed toe, and Madewell’s Corduroy Midi skirt. Wear them all together in one look or coordinate with some of the other essentials listed here.
Another essential to consider for winter out t inspiration is the aforementioned white jean. I know this may seem counterintuitive to winter dressing when darker jeans make more sense. But trust that white or o -white denim can breathe some fresh air into a dreary out t rut in the colder months. Try
American Eagle’s Stretch Mom Jean in bright white, a burgundy sweater, and a quilted jacket. Style black or brown accessories with Levi’s Ribcage Wide Leg jean in “barely freezing – white” for some e ortless elegance. Old Navy’s array of white and ecru denim pairs seamlessly with henley shirts layered over turtlenecks and styled with squaretoe boots.
Other accessories that can spark some winter out t inspiration include leather gloves, like Banana Republic’s Cashmere-Lined Long Leather gloves, guaranteed to make every out t more stylish. Two other luxurious-feeling leather options are large minimalist handbags, such as Portland Leather’s Almost Perfect Juliette tote and J.Crew’s Classic Belts in Italian Leather, to elevate any look in an instant. And a quick, yet functional out t add-on for inspiration, are sheer tights like a pair of Sheertex’s Stubbornly Strong Sheer Rip-Resist tights that will add allure to your favorite dress or skirt. If you’re in the market for winter outts that ooze elegance, hopefully, you can take some inspiration from one or several combinations of these luxe essentials. To score a deal, keep an eye on end-of-the-season sales. Spring fashions are hitting stores soon, or source some pieces second-hand from your local thri store/re-seller site online.

Put Your Hope in God
Life is hard. We make plans, and God laughs. But just because we go through a storm doesn’t mean God will ever leave us. It’s normal to ask, “Why, Lord?” when things happen in our life that just don’t seem fair.
We have to understand that he knows what is best for us and that sometimes, the worst storms can have a beautiful rainbow in the end. That rainbow is hope and a promise from God.
of Possible),” is one of my absolute favorites, and I can never listen to it just once.
I know there is someone out there right now who is hurting. Whether it’s health issues, financial problems, or other struggles. I am here to tell you that God is right by your side. I have felt his presence more than ever since the new year. I’ve watched his hand play in something that has really taken a toll on me, but you know what? He has talked to me through devotions, prayer, and music.
Was I still nervous and scared? Absolutely. But he never left my side. One night, I really just needed to calm my heart, so I Youtubed more Katy Nichole songs. Her song, “In Jesus’s Name (God
I came across a new song released in November 2024 called “When I Fall.” I hit play lying in my hospital bed, really needing to feel the peace and presence of God that night before going to sleep. As the song started to play and the lyrics ran across my phone screen, the words of this song had me speechless. It was like I wrote the song to him, or Katy knew my heart at the exact moment. I started crying as each lyric spoke more and more how I felt. (I want to note that I am really not an emotional person.) This song touched me in so many ways. God cradled his arms around me that evening, and I slept decently.
Listen, last year was a tough year. It was just something constant, and I felt overwhelmed and stressed. (This isn’t like me.) Your body can only take so much. We have to learn to stop and take time for ourselves before it takes a toll on our health. Slow down. Take time for our families. Our God. And friends that surround us. Stress can

take a serious toll on your body, but you know who can help calm those nerves and give you peace?
Jesus.
Jesus can.
Jesus will!
I have to leave the lyrics to “When I Fall.” Please watch it on YouTube or find it on Spotify if you have a few minutes. A drive to work in the morning or listening right before bed can completely change your mood. Katy will speak to your heart through the many wonderful songs she writes herself. Instead of a recipe this week, I want to feed your soul with music. I promise it will touch you.
Remember, with all things through God, it is possible!
When I Fall
Lord, I can’t find You right now
And everything is crashing down
I’m losing faith and falling into my doubts
How long will I have to fight
Just for me to stay alive
I know You’re there, God please
Just meet me here tonight
My God, I’m tired of trying to be okay
I’ve prayed all the prayers I have to pray
Please don’t leave me lonely
My God, I need You to hold me
My God, I’m losing all the hope I got
I’m far beyond the point of being lost
I’ve tried, but I can’t let go
‘Cause God, You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall
There’s hardly air in my lungs
With all the damage that’s been done
Lord, please sustain me now
I know You are enough
My God, I’m tired of trying to be okay
I’ve prayed all the prayers I have to pray
Please don’t leave me lonely
My God, I need You to hold me
My God, I’m losing all the hope I got
I’m far beyond the point of being lost
I’ve tried but I can’t let go
‘Cause God, You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall
Lord, please help me now
My soul is crying out
My God, I’m tired of trying to be okay
I’ve prayed all the prayers I have to pray
Please don’t leave me lonely
My God, I need You to hold me
My God, I’m losing all the hope I got
I’m far beyond the point of being lost
I’ve tried but I can’t let go
‘Cause God, You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall
You catch me when I fall

Sojourner Truth Ministries, a Christian-faith nonprofit, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with lots of exciting events planned for the year. The two main goals of the event series are to make Lycoming County more aware of their different ministries and to raise financial resources to maintain and further their work. STM invites everyone to spread the word and plan on attending some or all of their events and help them make a difference in our community one life at a time.
now by calling 570-419-7139 or emailing assistant4stm@ gmail.com.
Directed by Angelique Labadie, Sojourner Truth Ministries, Inc. is an integrated soup kitchen located at 501 High St., Williamsport, providing meals, limited social services, faith-building, and other intentional activities to help many who are struggling in the community. The ministry serves hot meals Monday through Saturday.
Stock Up for the Big Game
Kicking things off is Le Chocolat Affaire on February 7th. The event will be hosted by the Pine Street Methodist Church at 441 Pine Street in Williamsport. Come early to browse unique auction items. The meet and greet begins at 5:15 p.m. Candlelight dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. followed by a decadent chocolate dessert. Seating is limited, so register
The organization began as a simple soup kitchen in the former High Street Methodist Church. When it became necessary for this church to close its doors, the church building and parsonage were sold for $1 to several churches that joined forces to help feed hungry people by means of a traditional soup kitchen. This remains the core ministry of Sojourner Truth Ministries, Inc. to this day. According to their website, last year,
Dave Bellomo
nearly 30,000 meals were served in addition to perishable food giveaways during the week. This offered numerous opportunities to connect meaningfully with patrons, including warm handoffs to local agencies and emotional and spiritual support.
Sojourner Truth Ministries receives an AllOne Charities grant to assist with providing social services for patrons of the integrated feeding program in the community soup kitchen. The AllOne Charities grant also enables several hours of social service to be offered per week with a newly created position and training for staff and core volunteers, thus enhancing the program as a whole. AllOne Charities is a nonprofit organization that funds local and regional nonprofit organizations whose initiatives help address some of the region’s most pressing health challenges.
The STM 25th year anniversary celebrations include sharing true stories of how they have become so much more than a soup kitchen. While a meal might be the main entry for most people, they quickly learn that STM is a ministry. The group empha-
sizes that they are ambassadors for God and believe in sharing His loving, healing heart with all who come through their doors.
Their mission is to love all people, create community, build character, and equip people to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Their goal is to provide a place where God’s love may be experienced. Their doors are open to all as they minister to those who are broken, whether that brokenness is financial, physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, or any other type. Sojourner Truth Ministries seeks to be a place of safety and healing through the grace, healing, and mercy of Jesus Christ.
Sojourner Truth Ministries actively seeks volunteers who know the peace of Christ and are able to share that peace with those who are troubled, anxious, alienated, and disenfranchised. All volunteers must meet the Safe Sanctuaries requirements. For more information about Sojourner Truth Ministries or if you would like to donate or volunteer, go to stmwilliamsport.org or call 570323-1797.
Tired of Paying Too
Disappear
ong before Moses lost his temper and struck the rock in the desert, there was another time his anger got the best of him and resulted in a hard fall. The story is found in Exodus 2.
peared.
One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day, he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.
Word had gotten out. Moses thought the sand would cover his tracks. It didn’t. The Jews no longer trusted him, and his Pharaoh-adoptive-grandfather was out to kill him. Moses quickly considered his options. He chose to get out of Dodge. He simply dropped out of his life. He disap-
Tim Hartzell
He fled to Midian. There, he took up a new life. He got married and had children. He named his firstborn son Gershom, meaning – I have become a foreigner in a foreign land Exodus 2:22 Moses wasn’t home. He was out on the road. He was running. The name of his son reflected the pain he felt in his heart. Not only did Moses run away from his problems, but he also ran away from his family and everyone who called him friend. There is a steep price to be paid when a man chooses to disappear.
Rick was a good man. In his teens, he felt called by God to serve in full-time vocational ministry. He accepted that call and enrolled in a Bible college, graduating with a degree in theology and youth ministry.
He experienced tremendous success at his first church assignment. He was a gifted speaker with a magnetic personality. He married and started a family. His youth group grew so large that it caught the attention of his denomination. He began receiving invitations to speak at youth camps, conventions, and denominational gatherings. He had a lot on his plate, but Rick was a man on the rise, and he was enjoying his many blessings.
And then he disappeared. Questions swirled as rumors traveled along the grapevine. At denominational meetings, the question inevitably came up, “What ever became of Rick?” His disappearance was a mystery.
en, the story nally came out. While speaking at a youth camp, Rick had become infatuated with one of the female counselors. An emotional connection developed, and it led to an a air. When Rick realized that others were becoming aware, he considered his options and chose to disappear.
e consequences for Rick were obvious. Disappearing meant he had to leave his life behind. at life included his wife and children, his parents and siblings, his church and youth group, and the many colleagues and leaders who enjoyed his friendship.
His adultery and disappearance were devastating to his wife. She was crushed. He le her with unanswered questions and a family to raise by herself. His disappearance also devastated his young children. Every day was a mix of hope and despair. Will Daddy come back today? Will he want to see me and tell me he loves me?
For abandoned children, the pain of rejection o en follows them into adulthood, a ecting their future relationships. It is important to know what choosing to disappear does to the people we leave behind. e fallout is awful.
A man disappearing from his family is a rare event, but fallen men disappear from
church and their brothers in Christ all the time. As they consider their options, they conclude that the hard work of facing up to their failures and going through the process of confession and restoration just isn’t worth the e ort.
As I have mentioned several times in this series of articles, grace is painful before it is amazing. e tumor of guilt must be removed or attacked before healing can begin. Every other option (hiding, xing, blame-shi ing, despair) leaves the tumor in place, allowing it to grow and metastasize. A man who chooses to disappear rather than face his failures is choosing a slow death as gravity pulls him toward the grave. e tumor of guilt is terminal. e only cure is the upward pull of God’s grace. And yes, responding to that grace will be painful, but it is the fallen man’s only true hope.
God’s grace didn’t give up on Moses. A burning bush and a new call and purpose sent Moses back home and on a mission. You can read about it in Exodus 3.
God loves you, and He has a purpose for your life. His grace will continue to pull on you no matter how hard you try to disappear. Yes, He loves you that much. He is pulling on you right now. If you have disappeared, it’s time to go back. It won’t be easy, but it is the only option that leads to a life that is abundant and full. Maybe today’s reading is your burning bush. e thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full. Jesus, John 10:10

Coming Automobiles Show to Reveal Faith of Dealer in Early Return to Prosperity
Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.
illiamsport’s automobile dealers filled with the energy that comes from the belief in the return of normal business this year, are joining to nationwide effort to lead trade revival. This revival is confidently expected to return in a short time, and Williamsport’s dealers will display their confidence in a big way — the 21st annual automobile show is expected to open in the Market House at Market and East Streets from January 26 to 31 inclusively. This exhibit is being sponsored by the Williamsport Automobile Dealers Association and according to the announcement made by James B. Davidson, chairman of the general and floor committee, following a meeting of the association yesterday
afternoon, the show will be “bigger and better” than ever. The budgets for all purposes have been enlarged this year. Elaborate plans are being made by the decorating committee and by the entertainment committee.
All the dealers have started plans for their booths. All the dealers who will have a display in the show have dedicated all their efforts of their entire organizations for the purpose of giving motorists a new and finer conception of what the industry is doing this year. Such things as freewheeling motor refinements, sturdier construction and other features will be explained by courteous and capable staffs.
Final arrangements for the show will be made at a meeting of the dealers’ association Thursday noon at Fry Brothers Restaurant.

The Roving Sportsman… Helping the Monarchs
By Jon Pries
Since 1996, the population of monarch butterflies in the Eastern United States has declined by about 90%, and one of the biggest reasons is loss of habitat. Monarchs need early successional vegetation, with all the various flowering plants, such as goldenrod and milkweed, that often can be found in fallow fields, such as fields that are set aside in the CREP Program. During the warmer months, monarchs can be observed flying across fields in search of bright flowering blooms as the adults feed on the nectar from various flowers. Monarchs in the caterpillar stage feed exclusively on milkweeds.
Over the past several years, I have observed an increasing spread of milkweeds and goldenrods in fields that have been included in the CREP Program. Some songbirds nest in these fields, and deer will occasionally feed through them in search of certain plants they like. Rodents, such as mice and moles, frequent these plots to provide them with unlimited food and shelter. Along with these creatures, these abandoned fields are increasingly frequented by monarch butterflies.
the underside of leaves and branches and attached to structures nearby.
The monarch butterfly is easily recognizable, with a wingspan of about 4 inches and its basic coloration of orange wings, marked with black veins and a black border with two rows of white spots. While there are several subspecies of monarchs, the ones we see throughout Pennsylvania can also be found across the entire United States and occasionally on islands in the Caribbean. While they can be seen all across our state, they are currently most often spotted feeding on the nectar of goldenrod plants as they gather their strength for what is truly one of the Wonders of the World of Nature. As the temperatures begin to drop in autumn, they will gather for their migration southward. The most amazing aspect of this flight is that it will take them about 1,800 miles!

The adult monarchs (Danaus plexippus) fly about and feed on the nectar of the goldenrod flowers, while the caterpillars, or larvae, slowly munch away on the leaves of the milkweeds. The butterfly’s chrysalis form, or pupa stage, can be observed hanging on
As a retired former airline pilot and having flown large jet aircraft across the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, I understand navigation and have a real appreciation for today’s sophisticated navigational equipment. So how, for Heaven’s sake, does all of this modern technology fit inside this small insect?!?! Well, obviously, it doesn’t, but somehow, through the magic of nature, they will fly from the fields of Pennsylvania this fall and winter in the mountains of Mexico, then return to our state in the spring, where the cycle begins all over again! Eggs will be laid on milkweed plants, and a new generation
hatches and matures, and the life cycle continues. As these eggs hatch, and after several molts, the black, white, and yellow-green striped caterpillar reaches almost 2 inches. It then leaves its milkweed plant to pupate elsewhere as a pale green, golden-dotted chrysalis. Adults live only a few weeks, except for those that migrate south and winter over in Mexico, which live seven to nine months. Therefore, about 4 generations of monarchs occur each year. The eggs that the monarchs lay will transition through the life cycle, providing some of the millions of migrating to Mexico. Thinking about the amazing migration that will occur, the stay over the winter in Mexico, with a return in the spring, gives a renewed appreciation for the Wonders of Nature.
One of the best ways we can help the mon-
arch butterflies and (hopefully) increase their numbers throughout the state is to not mow all of our fields but allow some to go fallow and thus permit goldenrod and milkweed to propagate and flourish. These added “abandoned” fields will add much-needed food sources as well as propagation areas for the magnificent butterflies. These fallow fields will provide additional habitat for numerous birds and mammals.
There exists today an organization, The Monarch Joint Venture, a nonprofit made up of federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations, businesses and academic program partners working together to conserve the monarch butterfly migration for future generations.

Outdoors with Ken Hunter… It’s the Ice’s
Iwas watching television the other night; it was a program that was fun and entertaining and one that I’m sure many of you have also seen. e half-hour program is called “World’s Funniest Weather” and features people who are caught on video making dumb mistakes or who fall victim to some kind of indoor or outdoor calamity. e episodes bring a pretty good laugh unless, of course, you are the victim. As I watched last week early in the show, two guys were out ice shing, and that really caught my attention. Suddenly, the one sherman who was talking on his cell phone dropped his phone, and it slid directly into the ice shing hole. e phone showed up on the sonar screen as it settled to the bottom of the lake.
you ice shermen know, you really need both hands to land a sh properly, so I told her I had to put the phone down for a minute, so just hang on. I quickly laid the phone on the lid of a nearby bucket, but it immediately slid o and made a direct path to the hole where I was shing. I made a desperate lunge, but the phone slid into the hole and disappeared into twenty feet of water. When my wife called back minutes later on my brother’s phone, she wanted to know what the “gurgling” sound was. Of course, it wasn’t my fault; it was the ice’s fault for being so slippery. I was severely punished for the incident when my wife immediately bought me a new, highly sophisticated cell phone that I’m still learning to use.
I got a good chuckle from that episode, but a few years ago, when that same thing happened to me, I wasn’t laughing. My brother and I were ice- shing at a nearby lake, and the action was pretty steady. I was working on landing another good-sized pan sh when my ip phone went o . It was my wife, and she wanted to know how we were doing. As
Getting back to the “World’s Funniest Weather,” it was on that same show last week when, a er the sherman lost his phone through the ice another ice- sherman showed up with his new electric drill-powered ice auger. An adaptor allows the six- or eight-inch auger bit to be hooked to the same electric drill in your workshop. As the ice sherman showed o how the rig worked, he re-
Ken Hunter
versed the drill to bring the bit up out of the ice hole, and it detached and sank immediately to the bottom. I chuckled again, but guess what? That same thing happened to me a few years ago. I reversed my drill to bring the bit back up through the hole, but it caught on the edge of the ice hole and came undone; it sank to the bottom in nearly 20 feet of water. It wasn’t my fault; it was the ice’s fault because the bit caught the edge of the hard ice.
By the way, I have since learned how to prevent these “funniest episodes” from happening again. My wife purchased a somewhat flexible harness that attaches to my phone, and then the loop goes
around my neck, so now I can’t drop my phone or lay it down hangs around my neck. I have also added another precautionary device to my ice auger. There is a somewhat flexible cable that attaches to the drill and then around the top of the ice auger so that if the auger becomes disconnected, it will remain hooked to your drill and won’t fall through the hole. These simple tethers, both for my phone and my ice auger, are definitely worth adding to your inventory. Now I’m going to go in and watch another episode of the “World’s Funniest Weather” and see what other dumb things people have done to see if I have already done the same thing.
Looking To Earn Higher Guaranteed Interest?
It was a lesson learned long ago when my interest in journalism was in its infancy. A scribe wellversed in the occupation passed on his warning – ‘If you ever become a columnist, don’t include your personal opinions regarding politics or religion in what you write.’ at advice is spot-on, as those of you who take the time to peruse this page each week have your own perspective on those highly personal topics and could care less about what my views may be. at said, the collision of the January 20 events (Presidential inauguration, Martin Luther King Day, and the NCAA College Football Championship game) all combined to give people the opportunity to express their views on some heated topics all tied, in one way or another, to politics.
the federal education law that bars sex-based discrimination, to de ne sex based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
Six days prior to the inauguration of President Trump, the House of Representatives passed a measure to restrict transgender students from playing on women’s sports teams by a 218-206 vote. e bill bans transgender women from competing on teams consistent with their gender identity and amends Title IX,
On his rst day in the Oval O ce, President Trump made it known his administration was in support of the House action, which was issued in response to a growing rejection of the inclusion of transgender athletes competing on women’s teams. Since 2020, 23 states have passed laws restricting transgender athletes’ ability to participate in school sports in accordance with their gender identity. In Pennsylvania, Article 16, Section 4 of the PIAA By-Laws says, “Where a student’s gender is questioned or uncertain, the decision of the principal as to the student’s gender will be accepted by the PIAA.” In a classic case of ‘passing the buck,’ no other detail is given. At least one Pennsylvania school district, Hemp eld School District in Lancaster County, has enacted a policy that requires studentathletes to compete on a team matching the gender assigned at birth. irty-nine years a er President Ronald Reagan signed the bill marking Dr. Martin Luther King Day a national
holiday, the observance, once a political football itself, seemed to take a back seat to the activities and media coverage surrounding the inauguration festivities.
However, as has been done since 1986, the NBA proudly continued its tradition of honoring and remembering Dr. King with a slate of eight games, including the Memphis Grizzles hosting a home game in the city where Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
The day after the assassination on the Lorraine Motel balcony, NBA star Oscar Robertson, head of the Players Association, picked up the phone.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals between Bill Russell’s Boston Celtics and Wilt Chamberlain’s 76ers was scheduled that night in Philadelphia. While there were talks among the players about not playing, the game went on as scheduled.
Robertson was determined to recognize King with a tribute and contacted Larry Fleisher, the player’s union counsel. That action started the ball rolling, leading to the NBA’s annual MLK celebration.
In the days leading up to Ohio State’s 34-23 National Championship victory over Notre Dame, the political football surrounding the college sport’s growing problems were kicked around.
The emergence and growth of both NIL (name, image, likeness) and the transfer portal have changed the college game, resembling professional football to the
disgruntlement of many. Players can earn massive NIL deals before setting foot on campus, and many players simply opt to choose the school making the highest bid when it comes to their recruitment.
A lack of institutional oversight in college football has led to a growing swell of sentiment that the sport needs a college commissioner. Often mentioned for such a position is former Alabama coaching legend Nick Saban.
While not a role Saban seems eager to take, his views are reflective of many.
“People need to know this model is unsustainable. It’s not good for the players. Players need to get compensated, no doubt. But it has to be done in a way where we have a competitive balance, and that every school has the same thing. One school can’t spend $30 million for players, while another school is spending $3 million.
“It’s whoever wants to pay. The most money raised, the most money to buy the most players is going to have the best opportunity to win. I don’t think that’s the spirit of college athletics.
The Hall of Fame coach implored Congress to “get off their butt and do something.”
French economist Thomas Piketty once was quoted as saying, “Everyone is political in his or her own way.” The events of January 20 proved Piketty, a wise man!
Ifound myself driving home from a game. e Millionaires were on the road. We made two trips to the greater Harrisburg area this week. No worries. I enjoy my time on Route 15. I listen to music and think. I felt bad for my behavior last night. I was in rare form. I am usually a cool customer. Perhaps someone spiked my Diet Coke. I was that guy who walked into the gym and handed my son’s coach a Gatorade during warm-ups. Embarrassing. I used to HATE that. My bad Lamar. Never again. en I lost my voice, yelling at the o cials. Especially a er the bogus technical foul on our bench. Dude? Grow up. I am sorry. But you don’t act like this at home. True. I am wearing a headset. I bite my tongue.
I have been blessed to step foot in many fantastic basketball arenas. I use this page to document some of my favorites. I have done articles on UCLA’s Pauly Pavilion, PSU’s Bryce Jordan, the old Hershey Park, and Williamsport’s MAGIC DOME. I am a hoops junkie, and I am so spoiled. Jensen’s squad will travel to Pottsville soon. ey play the Crimson Tide at another incredible venue.
Martz Hall was built in 1970. She holds 4,200 seats and has hosted thousands of big-time contests. e locals call her the MECCA. e facility is right across the street from Pottsville High on a steep hill. It is a large bowl dug deep in the ground. She has been a staple for every Schuylkill, District 11, and many PIAA STATE games.
Martz has gone through some major renovations. e lower portion has new metal bleachers. e upper deck still has an old-school feel. Wooden tops on poured concrete. It is outstanding. A few even refer to it as the HEAVEN of HARDWOOD.
MaxPreps, an online service specializing in American High School sports, listed Martz Hall as “One of the Top 10 High School Gyms You Need to See Before You Die.” Muhammad Ali once fought there. e Harlem Globetrotters shined. Many politicians have held rallies. ree presidents. Say what?
Martz Hall and I go back many moons. My rst experience was when the Millionaires had a second-round PIAA matchup with the Mighty Chester Clippers back in 1995. We were heavy underdogs to the defending
State Champs. ey were good. I didn’t get any minutes. But I was on re in pregame warm-ups. I tracked down a few old photos. What an incredible night. Rasheed Campbell hit a half-court heave at the buzzer to force overtime. We prevailed and totally busted everyone’s bracket. Williamsport advanced. #player.
I was back a few years later to watch the super-talented 1999 Millionaires play Council Rock in the AAAA Eastern Final. is was the biggest crowd I have ever encountered for a high school game. Standing room only. People were everywhere. Insane. So loud. Williamsport won easily and went on to win the State Championship. #fan.
I called a few games at Martz Hall for PA SPORTS LIVE. One was a rematch between Williamsport and Chester in 2013. e Clippers were led by Rondae Hollis-Je erson. A crazy athletic 6’7 wingman who went to Arizona and played 8 years in the NBA. Williamsport’s Jahad omas did what he could. But Chester was legit. #broadcaster. Saint John Neumann played a scrap-
py Linville Christian in 2022. I again
py Linville Christian in 2022. I again had the best seat in the gym. Well, I mostly stood. Davion Hill and Hanief Clay were outstanding in that game. ey made me look good. Linville was solid. Exceptional program. ey are currently the top dog in AA. e Knights went on to win by 10. Another great night in Pottsville. We should’ve played zone. 2022 was a magical run for the boys and me. at was my last year coaching. I was thrilled to have the chance to return to Martz Hall. #coach.
I am so looking forward to making the trip to Pottsville. I plan to take many photos. Several before and a ers. I asked Jensen to take a few shots from the corner. Just for some comparisons. Teach is going. We are thrilled for the opportunity to watch our son and his teammates. Hopefully, they will embrace it. I will. #parent. Yes. Martz Hall is one special place. Cheers.
