Double Dog Dare

Clearly, I’m not Jimmy. I’m far too young for that. Even if my birthday at the end of the week says otherwise.

Last I saw, Jimmy was hopping down the bunny trail, hiding eggs in preparation for Beau s rst Easter.

So, it looks like you’re stuck with me for the week.

Let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind.

Last week, Jimmy got a comment on our Facebook page that said, “Please write an editorial detailing ‘Rump’ in the Epstein les. I double dog dare you.” Jimmy’s not here, so I guess I’ll take that bet.

I’m not usually one to talk about my politics, and honestly, I’m still not going to, at least not in the way people expect. I’ve got issues I lean left on and issues I lean right on. Most people I know are the same way.

But this isn’t about that.

At the very least, we should be able to agree on one thing: if someone is

named in connection with illegal activity involving effrey Epstein, and there is credible evidence to support it, that person should be investigated fully and held accountable under the law. No exceptions. No special treatment. No matter who they are.

That shouldn’t be controversial. It shouldn t depend on party a liation, personal beliefs, or whether you like the person’s politics.

And yet, somehow, it does.

We’re constantly pushed into this narrative that everything has to fall into a left-versus-right argument.

That if you acknowledge wrongdoing on one side, you’re somehow defending the other. That if you ask questions, you must have an agenda.

You, me — we are all being fed propaganda that serves to divide us and keep us clawing at each other over a fake ght.

Because this isn’t really about leftversus-right. Or even rich-versus-poor

It’s about power, and what happens when people with power are rarely, if

ever, held accountable.

There are people in positions of in uence who seem insulated from consequences in ways that the average person simply isn’t.

That’s not a partisan observation. That’s a reality most Americans can see, even if they disagree on the details.

You want to see people held accountable? So do I.

But if we’re being honest, there’s a growing sense that accountability at that level is the exception, not the rule.

Because the people in power aren’t going to turn on themselves or each other. Because if you loosen one rock, an avalanche will follow.

Information comes out. It makes headlines. People argue about it for a few days. And then, just as quickly, something else takes its place. The cycle moves on, and the questions never really get answered.

You can already see it happening here. What felt urgent a few weeks

ago is now a below-the-fold headline. So what do we do with that?

I don’t have a perfect answer. I’m not sure anyone does.

But I do know this: the only real leverage most of us have is at the ballot box.

That doesn’t mean blindly voting one way or another. It means paying attention. It means asking harder questions. It means taking a serious look at the people who are already in power and deciding whether they’ve earned the right to stay there.

Accountability doesn’t just come from investigations or headlines. Sometimes, it comes from voters deciding they’ve had enough.

We may never see the kind of answers people are hoping for when it comes to the Epstein les.

But that doesn’t mean we’re powerless.

It just means the responsibility might fall a little more on us.

So anyway, there’s my answer to the Double Dog Dare. I don’t and wouldn’t necessarily speak for Jimmy, but I don’t really know anyone who feels much differently.

Slow Down, Stay Calm, and Make a Plan

My dad mentioned it in one of his articles, but he did not tell the whole story.

My dog Buck got sprayed by a skunk. Actually, he got sprayed twice, about a week apart. It was awful. But I did learn a lesson from it that I am still working on, and it can help me be better for my family, my job, and, really, life in general.

So early one morning, before the sun was up, I was sitting on the couch and started to smell a skunk. At first, I did not think much of it. Then it hit me. Oh crap, Buck is outside.

I look out the window, and there he is, rolling around in the snow, freaking out. That made me freak out. I ran outside to him, right through the smell cloud, so now I have it all over me too. With all the commotion, Buck bolts into the house, rolls all over the rug, and jumps on the couch.

Now I am really losing it.

I grab him and immediately start bathing him.

Looking back, pretty much everything I did in that situation was wrong. And it all came down to one thing. I let a stressful situation get the best of me. I reacted instead of staying calm and making a plan. Fast forward about a week.

You guessed it. My man Buck gets nailed again by a skunk.

But this time was different.

The door was shut, so he stayed outside. I stayed calm. I did not rush. I knew not to get him wet right away. I let the spray dry, then made a mixture to clean him off. My staying calm helped Buck stay calm. He was not running around or making things worse. I did not escalate the situation, and because of that, I was able to get most of the smell off him right away.

slow burns do not bother me, but I want to get that process started as soon as possible.

That is not always the case. Sometimes it is not in our control, and that is a hard thing to grasp.

One thing I heard on a podcast — and sorry, I am big on podcasts and really recommend finding a good one — is to stop and think, what is God trying to teach me in this moment? Is He trying to show me something? Then after we learn it, think about why God may have wanted to show you that.

Same situation. Completely different outcome.

There is a lot more to these stories, but I am summarizing. So, if you ever want the whole tale, reach out if you are interested in a good laugh.

But in all seriousness, it is important that we all learn to take a step back and stay calm. Being overhyped and not thinking clearly does not help anything. It can actually just make things worse. For me, a lot of it comes from the fact that I always want to have control. Any inconvenience, I want to begin the process of fixing it immediately. Time and

I got the answer to that question one night when Lauren and I were out to dinner with some friends. It was getting close to Beau’s bedtime. It was getting stressful, and we were in a loud, highstim environment. But I was able to stay calm and develop a plan with Lauren. She took him out to the car, I boxed up the food, and we got him home, in bed, and calmed down.

I know that is not some super intense situation, but it showed me that in the future, when something is needed from me, I need to have the right mindset. Lock in on what is best and make a clear plan for my son and my family.

Slow down, stay calm, and make a plan. You will handle things a whole lot better that way.

“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” – James 1:19

Think Spring

The Lumber Yards

By Jamie Spencer

Iwas on the fence. I didn’t think this would work. I wasn’t the only one. I rst heard of the large baseball and softball complex coming to our area many moons back. It was a big pro ect. MASSIVE. I was super ealous. I followed in the papers and listened to what my friends at Wegmans had to say. The rumors were true. It was in the works. I drove by the Maynard Street exit on 220 every day for the next several years. Not much was going on, and then all of a sudden. BOOM. They did it. Incredible. Seven beautiful turf elds. Pavilions. Lights. Overnight, it seemed. We had something cool. I reached out to my friends to see if we could chat. I was asked to write a story on the new LUMBER YARDS of Williamsport. I had a chance to see the facility in the esh. Oh my. Words don t do it ustice. Again. This place is ust splendid a baseball and softball paradise. Outstanding. I arrived a little early and walked around some. The folks from Halliburton gave me some love. I stepped on one of the elds and smiled. It brought me back to my playing days. Then someone asked me a question. E CUSE ME, SIR. CAN I HELP YOU

I gave him a quick rundown. Told him I was here to meet ason Fink and Crosscutters Gabe. Then I told him a quick story. You know, I was never a great player. I gave

up baseball in high school. It wasn t my decision. But I would have liked to have had the chance. To stare down a pitcher who was in the stretch. ust once. To stare him down when he gets ready to throw. Give him a wink. Make him think that you know something he doesn t. That is what I wish for. Chance to squint at the sky so blue that it hurts your eyes. To feel the tingling in your arms when you make contact. To run the bases. Stretch a single into a double. And op face- rst into second. Hearing the roars. Wrap my arms around the bag and call time. That is my wish. Is this the right place THE MAN WAS GONE.

We needed another big attraction, Gabe Sinicropi of the Lycoming County Visitors Bureau said. Williamsport and Lycoming County are fantastic places, but we were looking for one more venue to make us an overnight destination. This all started many years back. We got together and pitched some ideas. We are the home of Little League Baseball. A large baseball and softball complex was a perfect t. We began our research and made some calls. Several people were involved. The LUMBER YARDS will bring so much to our community. We anticipate big things. This pro ect was a total group effort, ason Fink, the Williamsport/Lycoming County Chamber CEO and president, shared. I sit here and look back at where we were when we originally pitched the idea. We wanted to create something that

the entire area would be proud of. This complex will give us a boost in terms of additional developments. It has already impacted many others who are coming in. This did not happen overnight. A great deal of strategic planning and study occurred. We secured the funding and found our site. The LUMBER YARDS were gaining momentum when the pandemic hit. We had to regroup and seek more funds. Yes. There were several bumps. But I mean, this place is incredible. We took a chance. But it was an educated and strategic move. We did our homework.”

Both Jason and Gabe were very important in bringing this to light. I can’t give them enough credit. Especially Jason. My man saw it through. He actually did it. The amount of planning and preparation was unreal. They, with the help of many other organizations, created a premier outdoor baseball and softball destination in the heart of Williamsport. A 28-acre complex featuring six lighted synthetic turf elds, a convertible collegiate-size eld, and modern concessions and hospitality spaces. An unbelievable asset to the community. Designed for athletes, fans, and their families. It is happening. Opening soon. This used to be a brown eld. An old, abandoned, and unused site. Now it is home to the LUMBER YARDS. Bravo. Well done.

Sign me up. Big business. Huge opportunities. Tons of folks will come to our region. I am not kidding.

People will come, Jay. They’ll come to Williamsport for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll show up in our driveways,

not knowing for sure what they are doing. They’ll arrive at our doors as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won’t mind if you look around. They will pass over money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and peace they lack. People will come, Jay. The one constant throughout the past few years has been travel baseball and softball. I am not kidding. We are now a major player. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again. Oh. People will come, Jay. People will most de nitely come. Bravo.

“We have a full slate of tournaments and events this summer,” Adam McCann, the District General Manager of Eastern Sports Management, continued. “We are getting down to the wire for our rst outing. Many have partnered in this project.

The initial response and buzz have been great. We are so much more than just a place to hold weekend tournaments. We have several camps and training sessions for all ages. Baseball. Softball. Flag Football. Speed Training. You name it. Our facility is really taking shape. We are even going to try to do some adult leagues. We will have a large concession stand, Pro Shop, a beautiful playground, and other top-notch accommodations. The LUMBER YARDS will rival any destination on the East Coast.”

Built to host baseball and softball tournaments, youth and adult leagues, clinics, camps, and special events, the LUMBER YARDS will deliver year-round competition, player development, and community connection, creating unforgettable game-

“381 teams have already booked,” Mike Davis, ESM Program Director, explained. “We are using an online platform to register and sign up for our weekend tournaments. I have heard from travel baseball and softball teams from all over the US. We have large groups from Maine, New Hampshire, and even Arizona that are coming in. We are so very excited to get things moving. This is an awesome facility, and it will be a busy place. I wish we had

something like this when I was a kid. There will be so much that we offer. Tons of opportunities for kids and even grownups.”

Special thanks to Gabe Sinicropi, Jason Fink, Adam McCann, and Mike Davis for taking the time. I really enjoyed getting to know and seeing m-ore of the new facility. This is a fantastic venue that will bring many new folks to our outstanding region. Please join me in welcoming these travelers to our beautiful county. I am expecting big things from the LUMBER YARDS. It turned out amazing. Kudos and best of luck to everyone who is involved. Okay. I had my doubts. But now I am a full believer. A travel baseball and softball hub belongs in Williamsport. Well done, boys and girls. Cheers.

Transitional Coats

Spring is here, and it seems like we might be past the dreary days and chilly temperatures.

However, spring is ever changeful with the wind turning in an instant.

The best defense against weather shifts is outerwear, and this time of year has me looking toward transitional coat options to throw on over my out t and head out the door.

Some of these I’ve featured before, so bear with me, but there’s no shame in repeating classic style.

And what’s more classic in spring than a trench coat? A cropped or blousey trench can be a fun twist on this springtime staple. For a modern take on this classic, look for a cropped version to pair with knitwear on close-to-freezing days, or linen on sunny afternoons.

Lands’ End has a cropped Trench Rain Jacket with a water-repellent shell, double-breasted button closure, windproof fabric, and ad ustable cuffs.

I like the idea of a cropped trench for errand-running or outdoor activities.

A blousey trench, like those with gathered, cropped funnel necks or cape-like features, is a rare breed in transitional outerwear. But if you are drawn to one like

Loft’s Twill Trench Cape, lean into the whimsical silhouette of this coat and wear it with oral midi-dresses.

If you re an experienced out tter, you can go the opposite style route and pair it with tailored trousers for a contrasting aesthetic. Another classic, but not so often associated with spring, is the leather jacket.

True, the standard leather trench or moto jacket feels more fall; however, less rigid silhouettes like bombers, oversized, and funnel-necked styles work as seasonless essentials.

A boxier, oversized tough leather jacket like Walmart’s HJYCHN Winter Jacket

Motorcycle Style Coat in black adds subtle texture to an all-black out t of a lightweight turtleneck and jeans.

For really windy days when your neck needs a bit more coverage, look to Topshop’s Leather Look Funnel Neck Jacket available at Asos. The buttery washed brown shade can elevate a basic white tee and jeans, or provide some quirk to khakis, loafers, and button-down.

From tough leather to sporty fun, a nylon bomber like Old Navy’s Full-Zip Windbreaker was made for the transitional days of spring, especially when offered up in

pastel shades like sea salt, lunar path, and fairytale rose. You can also go with the coordinated skorts or leggings, which are also on offer, for an athletic-inspired look. I would de nitely go with that style approach for functionality when working out or hiking.

From a transitional out tting perspective, I see a windbreaker and nylon zip-ups paired with easy pieces like pull-on pants, oversized tees, and baggy eans, again a contrast of more relaxed pieces with performance wear.

You can invest in this printed topper to bring a minimalist look to the next level, as with Madewell s Single-Breasted Topcoat in Leopard Print paired with a sweater, eans, and boots. Or, for something more accessible, there s Walmart s UTCO Women’s Leopard Trench coat to throw over a cocktail dress to ramp up the glam factor on spring evenings out.

From performance to the o ce, an oversized gray blazer, belted at the waist, pairs nicely with cropped trousers and chunky sneakers for your commute. You can pick up Uniqlo’s Double Breasted Jacket in gray or black if you want to don this coat type for your 9-to-5 but rst look to the menswear owners in your life to see if you could “borrow from the boys” for this transitional coat. I’m not suggesting that a husband’s, boyfriend’s, or brother’s sports acket will look correct, but why not try them on rst before placing an online order? Thrift stores are also great resources for this trend.

Speaking of trends, if you’re in the market for trendy outerwear, then there’s no better way to make a statement with this season s leopard acket.

To be clear, leopard IS a neutral, but it’s also a bold pattern that comes at a variety of price points.

Another trending coat with a much more subtle avor is the reworked, or patchworked, denim acket. Levi s Women’s Free Range Denim Trucker Jacket, available at Country Out tter, features a western-style yoke and a two-tone design with a darker wash across the shoulders and down the back, and a lighter shade on the front.

For a softer side, there’s Three Bird Nest’s Dahlia Sweater Denim Jacket featuring knit sleeves with oral patchwork attached to a denim vest .

Dressing for the season s uctuating temperatures is no easy task. However, with some of these transitional coat options, you’ll be able to don the right, stylish outerwear to face sunny, 50-degree days one day and frigid, windy days the next.

Williamsport Music Club to Present Budd Scholarship at Gala April 28

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

The Williamsport Music Club will be presenting its annual Madelyn Budd Scholarship and Doris Teufel Award at a gala on April 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the St. Mark’s Lutheran Church on Market Street.

The recipient is chosen by a panel of judges at an open audition. This year’s audition will be held on April 12. The scholarship is fully funded by members of the Williamsport Music Club, patrons, and community members.

This is in keeping with the mission and goals of the almost 90-year-old Williamsport Music Club, which is to: – Advance the culture of music in the Susquehanna valley region

– Develop and maintain high musical standards

– Aid and encourage continuing music education

– Promote music appreciation and regional musicians.

The club was founded in 1937 and is a member of both the Pennsylvania Federation of Music Clubs and the National Federation of Music Clubs.

According to Mitzi Burget, who, along with Kay Huffman, is the chair of this year’s event, the scholarship has grown from a small honorarium to $1,500. It is open to any Lycoming County student planning to continue their music education beyond high school.

Another monetary award is the Doris Heller Teufel Award, presented each year for $100 to a worthy recipient. This award is chosen by the input of members of the music faculties of all the Lycoming County schools.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the presentation of the Budd Scholarship, Matthew Radspinner, the first person to win a Budd Scholarship, and Kristen Ivers, President of the Pennsylvania Music Clubs, who was also a past President of the Williamsport Music Club, will perform a piece by Chopin. The winner of this year’s scholarship will also be invited to perform.

Several of the past Budd Scholarship recipients have told Webb Weekly what the scholarship meant to them.

Matthew Radspinner stated, “As the first recipient of the scholarship in 1997, I was honored to have received that first scholarship. That money

helped my family cover some unexpected expenses at the beginning of my college career at Penn State. It was rewarding to be validated for all the hard work that goes into college auditions. I thank the Williamsport Music Club and its patrons.

Lora Boll, 2016 scholarship recipient, said, “The WMC scholarship contributed immensely to my ability to attend Wheaton College as a conservatory student. I am grateful to the WMC for helping to make studying at Wheaton College possible.”

Lucas Bower was the 2025 recipient of the scholarship, and he stated,” The WMC scholarship has helped me greatly during my first year at Lycoming College. The scholarship has allowed me to participate in various musical activities, such as choir and chamber choir, and to take lessons. I have used scholarship money to purchase music books and take organ lessons at the college. I have been very grateful to have received the WMC/Budd Scholarship.

The Budd Scholarship Gala is free and open to the public.

Identity: Love One Another

Note: The National Day of Prayer is Thursday, May 7. A community-wide prayer event is being held at Way’s Garden at 6:30 p.m. that evening. All are invited. Bring a lawn chair. A great opportunity for us to declare in complete unity, “Jesus Christ is Lord!”

In our quest to answer The Five Questions of Life, we have started with the primal question: Who Am I? It is the essential question because left unanswered, the other four questions have little or no practical relevance.

If I can’t answer the identity question, then there is no point to asking the purpose question, “Why am I here?” If these two questions are left unanswered, we exist as a boat with just a sail — no anchor or rudder oating with the wind, waves and current of chance.

Some philosophers celebrate a life without identity and purpose, but in so doing, they have by default chosen their identity and purpose. They set their sail to catch the wind of chance, and wherever it blows, they determine to nd meaning and purpose.

Christian, take a deep breath before reading this next statement. In fact, you might want to sit down. Ready?

There are plenty of happy and content people in the world who do not choose to

know God or to follow his laws. They have answered the identity and purpose questions and are in full pursuit of their aspirations. Some are as passionate about their pursuits as we believers are about following and serving God — maybe more so.

Jesus acknowledged that there are people who nd meaning and purpose in life without the presence of God, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:31-32

There are people who see themselves as “healthy” and “righteous”. They feel no need to worship God or to surrender to the lordship of Jesus. When we believers try to convince them that they are actually sick and sinful, they either laugh at us or get angry. Remember, the powerful people (religious, political and philosophical) laughed at Jesus and mocked him — and then put him to death. The healthy and righteous don’t respond well when you tell them they are sick and wrong. Jesus told us that his message was offensive. See Matthew 10:16-23. Paul wrote that the message of the cross is “foolishness to those who are perishing”. See 1 Corinthians

FAITH

1:18.

Why is this important? Two reasons: First, be thankful that God has blessed you with his holy presence. It is his awakening grace to you. It makes you aware of sin, sickness, and death, and your need of forgiveness, healing, and eternal life. You didn’t discover your need of reconciliation with God on your own. You’re not smarter than the average bear, so there is nothing to boast about in your faith — it is a gift from God. Read Ephesians 2. The only reason you have faith is because God awakened you to it. If you think otherwise, then you are carrying the stench of religious pride. Today would be a good day to bathe in the humility of repentance and confession.

Second, it is only through the exre io of e i e e e o e and the resulting humble unity of Christ’s Body that the message of t e o e fi d e e ti e foot o d in the world. Jesus drives this truth home in John 17:20-23, My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

“Then the world will know.” That’s a powerful statement of effectiveness. It is preceded by “so that they (believers) may be brought to complete unity.”

Believers, are we living in complete unity with each other? If not, why not? The answer to that question begins in our identity — I am a child of God. A child of God can commune fully with other believers, even when they don’t see eye-to-eye on every issue. Why? Because they know who they are, and no one can take that away from them. This is the reason Paul wrote Romans 14. When you know your identity, you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone else. You keep your eyes on your Master, and you follow him. You are not threatened by believers who hold to other positions — and you respect that they are faithfully following their Master. That mutual respect, demonstrated in love, allows all of us in the Body of Christ to declare in glorious unity, “Jesus Christ is Lord!” As a child of God, you carry the DNA of love. Jesus wants that love to be expressed fully between fellow believers. He even declares such love to be the identifying hallmark of his followers:

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35 Mark your calendar for May 7, 6:30 p.m., at Way’s Garden. Help us to declare in complete unity, “Jesus Christ is Lord!”

When someone later asked how it was, I borrowed from a long-ago critic and said, “It was like getting hit by a truck — and enjoying it.”

W. Smith III

Written in 1949 and now enjoying a high-pro le revival at Manhattan s Winter Garden, Arthur Miller’s drama has been called America’s greatest play. Personally, I had found it so drenched in fatalistic despair as to be almost unwatchable.

Now this new version is certainly gut-wrenching; but as directed by Joe Mantello, the whole thing rests on bedrock of heartfelt humanity and compassion.

Loman with a sort of grace — and dignity.

Metcalf, one of our greatest living actresses, has played so many roles so well that I’m not sure she even has a default persona. In this case, her deeply grounded empathy and devotion to Willy provide another wellspring that allows us to feel like we can, as it were, still get back up after the truck has run us down.

For those who somehow missed Miller’s play in school, I should explain that it’s the disarmingly simple tale of a traveling salesman who has reached the end of the road. Physically exhausted and unable to admit that he somehow missed the American dream, Loman clings to a hope that his two boys (especially his older son, Biff) will make something of themselves — though we can tell right away, this is never gonna happen.

While Willy comes mentally unglued and keeps cycling through past hopes and failures — which we watch onstage — his professional and familial life goes from bad to worse. As in great Greek

It’s tough to pinpoint the source of this, because I’m no expert on stage acting (if I were, I’d probably be doing that instead of this!); but I suspect it’s related to Lane’s frank and likable persona, which somehow imbues his oundering Willy

tragedy, we can see that he is partly to blame, but that outside forces beyond his control also seem to be arrayed against this decent but badly awed human being.

Besides Lane and Metcalf, the show’s great strengths include its supporting cast and production design. Naturally, my party of four was drawn to this staging because of its titanically talented leads. But it turns out that Christopher Abbott and Ben Ahlers — as, respectively, Biff and younger brother Happy — match Lane and Metcalf step for step. The climactic scene with a weeping Biff laying his head on Willy s lap is in and of itself worth the admission price; and Ahlers has a smoldering James Dean-type charisma that not only holds the viewers’ attention, but also makes it clear why Hap is such a hit with the ladies.

I also loved K. Todd Freeman as Willy’s friend Charley, while John Drea is scarily slimy as the salesman’s stingy, self-centered boss.

Scenic designer Chloe Lamford strips down the visuals, so the Loman home has just a few plain metal chairs; and it seems to be located in the basement or garage of an aging warehouse — with bricks and pillars standing darkly around. I’m sure this sounds weird, but

it’s almost Shakespearean in its spareness, and it has the twin effect of manifesting the family’s loss and despair, while also allowing us to focus entirely on the acting.

Well except for that car!

Willy s burgundy-red Chevy Impala drives right out onstage and stands there throughout, almost like another character. Yes, the sixties muscle-car doesn t quite match Miller’s original time period, but somehow, it works — with its headlights going eerily on and off and serving sometimes as a prop or platform for the actors.

The whole production succeeds so brilliantly that the audience absolutely leapt to its feet the moment the nal lights went down; in all the Broadway shows I’ve attended, I’ve never seen a standing ovation executed with such speed and unanimity.

Originally scheduled through June, this popular revival was recently extended to Aug. 9.

Here in Central PA, we’re lucky to be close enough to NYC to do something like this as a day-trip (assuming you choose a matinee, of course). For us, the trek was a 13-hour odyssey that started before 8 a.m. and covered nearly 400 miles.

It was worth every minute.

Do you know the best part about being with someone for so long? You have all these inside jokes that only the two of you understand. It could have been something that happened twenty years ago, and you can still laugh about it because it feels like it happened yesterday. My husband Chris and I have so many of these. Twenty-seven years together next week, so you can only imagine the stories we have.

Andrea McElroy

Anytime I see a beaver, I say to my husband, “Look, there’s a platypus!” He will never live down the dead beaver oating down the river that he swore on his life was a dead platypus. This will forever stay with us.

Twenty-seven years is a long time — my goodness. I thought I loved that boy back in high school, but each year just keeps getting better and better. We hardly ever ght, and I’m not just saying that. We really don’t. Ask our kids. They will just tell you we can’t keep our hands off each other. I can t keep my hands off his muscles, ladies. It s a struggle!

We joke and tease each other because it makes us laugh, but that’s about as far as it goes.

We have our “little things,” and I love it!

I can’t believe I am going to tell you all this, but you know I don’t hold back. You know me! Take me as I am, I say! I totally wasn’t planning on this, but it popped into my head, so why not? People need a good laugh these days,

and I am happy to give it to you.

So, the crazy part is he knows I am going to do this before I even do. He just looks at me with the biggest smile, then just shakes his head because he knows it’s coming. It’s like he sees my eyes lock with the hole in his shirt.

“Really?” he says.

“Yup!” I reply as I slowly grab his shirt from the front, the side with the smallest hole. I then slide that puppy across his chest until his nip pops out of the tiniest hole in his shirt. Bahahaha!!

I have done this since I can remember, and I’ll never stop. He acts as if it annoys him, but deep down, I know he would miss it. Gosh, those tiny holes are perfect for that!

(My mom and dad are probably shaking their heads right now, reading this, thinking “she did not just go there.”) *enter cheesy smile here!*

Listen. This is the kind of relationship we have. Super playful, still irty, and ust living my best life with my best friend. We truly have a special kind of love, and people see that because they tell us. Fun little things like this are what a good, strong relationship is about! So next time you see a hole in your man’s shirt, ladies, do your thang!

Men, if you see one in your lady’s shirt, I mean, go for it. Why not?

(OMG, I am too much! I have to quit writing exactly what I’m thinking!)

OK, on to what this column was actually going to be about!! Haha!

Last Sunday, I was making some breakfast sandwiches. My family goes absolutely nuts over my breakfast sandwiches. It’s not like I do anything special, but they do slap! I could eat them every day. Chris had gone to pick up Kenzy and came home to Tyler and me in the kitchen, getting everything ready. I was cooking the bacon and stirring my fried taters while Ty was toasting English mu ns. I would mayo the English mu ns as they came out of the toaster and line them up on a cookie sheet, ready for the lling. Topped with fried egg, cheese, and bacon.

Chris walks into the kitchen and looks around.

“What can I help with, babe?” he asked as he looked in the toaster. “Do these English mufns need mayonnaised

I turned and looked at him, and in the smartest voice I said, “No, Ty and I mayonnaised them before we put them in the toaster, Timmy. YES, they need mayonnaise when they are done toasting!”

Ty and I just started cracking up.

He did NOT nd us amusing. He argued that’s not what he meant, but Ty and I disagreed. We teased him about it during brunch. It was the highlight of the table.

Then, yesterday, Chris found an extra breakfast sammy, still wrapped in foil, in our deli drawer. I told him to have it for breakfast the next day.

“I’ll look forward to that tomorrow,” he said. “They were really good the other day!”

I looked at him with the biggest smile and, without hesitation, asked, “Hey, babe. Do you know why they were so good?”

He slowly looked up at me, and because we have been together for so long and know each other’s next move on practically anything said, “I already know exactly what you are going to say.”

“What? Tell me,” I said.

“They were extra good because you mayonnaised the English mu n before they were toasted!”

“Yuppers!” I said, completely losing it. Folks, this is how beautiful relationships are made.

Andrea’s Famous Breakfast Sammy’s

Ingredients:

English Mu n

• 1 1/2 tbsp mayo

• 1 egg, fried and seasoned (lots of pepper!)

• 3 slices of turkey bacon, cooked (Turkey bacon from Aldi! Never Any brand. Trust me! Amazing.)

• 1 slice of American cheese

Directions:

Place bacon in a large pan and cook on each side for a few minutes over medium-high heat. Once the bacon is almost cooked, crack the egg and cook it until it’s thoroughly cooked.

Season both sides with salt and generous pepper. Once the egg is cooked to your liking, place a slice of cheese on top. Place the lid on the pan until the cheese is melted. During that time, toast your English mu n.

(Mayonnaise after toasting, haha!)

Place all those goodies into your English mu n and take that rst bite. You ll thank me later. Amazing with seasoned taters and fresh fruit.

Hierarchy of Need: A Modern Approach

As you might have guessed, I have a curious mind, or as I’ve been told by my publisher, “an eclectic taste in writing.” I’m not sure he meant that as a compliment. Still, they give me this space.

Recently, I came across an article I had read a few years ago discussing a modern take on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. I thought it was interesting enough to make it the topic of this week’s article.

For those of you who didn’t take Psych 101, an academic named Abraham Maslow published a paper in the journal Psychological Review, titled “A Theory of Human motivation,” in 1943. Maslow proposed that there were ve sets of basic needs physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization.

He maintained that certain needs had to be met, or were stronger, before moving on to others.

For example, physical needs like air, food, and water had to come before feelings of perceived safety, which trumped feelings of love and belonging, and so forth. This theory became so popular that it became a major framework for human motivation and developmental psychology.

Fun fact, while most of us know this hierarchy as a pyramid, Maslow himself did

not use that shape to illustrate his ideas. That honor went to Charles McDermid, a consulting psychologist, who published the familiar pyramid representation in the journal Business Horizons in 1948. In recent years, however, new research and changing societal values have led some researchers to challenge Maslow’s original theory. While the pyramid has served as a useful teaching tool, critics have pointed out its limitations. The structure implies a strict order only after basic needs are met can one pursue higher goals. Yet, real life is rarely so linear. People often seek meaning, connection, or creative expression even in challenging circumstances, and motivation can come and go depending on experiences, relationships, and personal values. Recognizing these complexities, psychologists and academics have sought new models that reect modern thinking.

Scott Barry Kaufman (yes, he uses his full name), a psychologist and author, is an advocate of a more uid model. In his book, Transcend, published in 2020, Kaufman replaces the pyramid’s stepwise progression with a metaphor, the sailboat, that re ects the unpredictable nature of life. The sailboat, navigating the open seas, becomes a

symbol for the interaction between foundational needs and the drive for growth.

In Kaufman’s model, the sailboat’s hull represents the foundational needs of safety, connection, and self-esteem. These are the elements that keep us a oat, protect us from adversity, and provide the stability we need to face life’s challenges. The sail symbolizes growth; our aspirations for exploring, creativity, purpose, and self-actualization.

The wind and waves of life represent our circumstances, relationships, and opportunities, which determine the direction and speed of our journey.

Unlike Maslow’s pyramid, which places

Recently, I ran an article in Webb Weekly discussing free weight loss and wellness classes that I was offering titled National Diabetes Prevention Program.

It is for people that do NOT already have diabetes and wish to prevent getting it by learning about weight loss, goal setting, and habit changes.

Well, as always, the Webb came through. I had a signi cant number of people reach out to me about joining my classes. I held an information session, and it was a little too successful. What I mean by that is that the people in the session felt so connected and moved to meet in person, that I still had space left over in my online-only classes. So, I am announcing that I will be holding another information session via Zoom on April 15th at 5:30 p.m.

About the class: According to their website, the National Diabetes Prevention Program is based on CDC-approved curriculum with lessons, handouts,

The hull is never nished.” It requires continual maintenance. At the same time, the sail can catch the wind and move us forward, but only if the hull is strong enough to support the journey. Motivation in this model is not a ladder to climb but a voyage, one that adapts to changing conditions and nds meaning throughout the journey.

Toward the end of his life, Maslow recognized that self-actualization was not the endpoint of human development. In his

The class is led by a lifestyle coach, me in this case, who is specially trained to lead the program, to help you learn new skills, encourage you to set and meet goals, and keep you motivated. The coach will also facilitate discussions and help make the program fun and engaging (at least I hope I make them fun). Lastly, the class acts as a support group with people that have similar goals and challenges. So, lots of good information about goal setting, food, tness, and weight loss.

personal journal, published after he died in 1970, Maslow introduced self-transcendence as the pinnacle of the hierarchy of needs. Self-transcendence is a level at which individuals seek to go beyond their own needs and contribute to the well-being of others, the community, and even the broader world.

Kaufman’s model also integrates Maslow’s later insight. Rather than seeing self-transcendence as a separate “level,” Kaufman regards it as a quality connected to both security and growth. Self-transcendence involves moving beyond personal needs to contribute to others, nd meaning in service, and connect with something greater than oneself.

The Sailboat Model acknowledges that

motivation is uid. During times of crisis, we may seek safety and connection. When conditions allow, we may shift our energies toward growth, creativity, and purpose. When life changes unexpectedly, relationships, work, health, and society all in uence our direction. The model encourages resilience, adaptability, and openness to new experiences.

Self-transcendence, as highlighted by both Maslow and Kaufman, is critical for lasting ful llment, however. By helping others and engaging in meaningful pursuits, we not only satisfy our own needs but also strengthen the “hulls and sails” of those around us. In uncertain times, focusing on connection and purpose can provide stability and direction, guiding us through life’s storms.

The Loyalsock Fire Company purchased a new 500-gallon pumper and re apparatus at the regular meeting Monday night.

The new pumper is being purchased from the Mack Company, and it is hoped that it will be delivered by uly 14 in time for the Loyalsock Firemen s Carnival. It will replace the 1922 model REO, which was purchased about 10 years ago, second hand from State College.

The apparatus will be equipped with a new 200-gallon booster tank and a 32-foot three-section ladder, so as to help provide protection in the rural section of the township. It has a 125-horsepower motor, 170-inch

wheelbase and total weight without hose and water of 10,000 pounds and overall length of 23 feet.

It will be arranged to carry 1,200 feet of 2/12 inch hose and 150 feet of booster line hose. It will be painted red. The truck has dual wheels in the rear and has a cab for the driver. It has been described as modern in every detail.

The pump is two-stage centrifugal type. With a long line hose, it will be possible to build up a 300-pound pressure.

After delivery here the apparatus will undergo a strenuous 12-hour test conducted by the National Fire Underwriters.

The old REO will be disassembled and some of the equipment will be used on other trucks.

County Hall Corner: Cost Beyond Measure

Blair Steward

The Lycoming County commissioners met this recently, with Vietnam Veterans Day having passed on March 29. The board took time to recognize the men and women who served in a war that divided the nation but never diminished the courage of those who answered the call. These veterans sacrificed years of their lives, and some sacrificed everything, defending freedoms we too often take for granted. Nothing the county discusses, no budget item or policy debate, comes close to matching what these men and women gave. We owe them gratitude that words alone cannot repay, but we offer those words anyway because silence feels like forgetting.

The meeting addressed the immense tax burden that death penalty cases place on the county. The legal process stretches across years, sometimes decades. Appeals stack upon appeals. Expert witnesses must be paid. Court proceedings drain resources that could otherwise fund schools, roads, and essential services. The financial reality is stark, but so is the county’s commitment to prosecuting the most heinous crimes to the fullest extent of the law.

This commitment carries its own kind of consequence. When criminals under-

stand that certain acts will be met with the strongest response our legal system allows, behavior changes. The deterrent may be impossible to measure precisely. We cannot count crimes that never happen. We cannot know which potential killers reconsidered because they understood what prosecution would bring. But the hope remains that clarity about consequences prevents future horrors. Money saved in the long run comes not from avoiding justice, but from crimes that never occur because the price was made clear. Both discussions, separated by subject but connected by theme, deal with sacrifice and consequence. Veterans sacrificed for freedom without expectation of return. The county invests in prosecuting evil to protect that same freedom these

veterans defended. One sacrifice is noble beyond measure. The other is a civic duty that costs money but aims to preserve safety. They exist on different planes entirely, but both recognize that protecting what matters requires paying a price.

The routine budget approvals happened without fanfare. Departmental needs were addressed. Line items were reviewed. The work is unglamorous but necessary for keeping Pennsylvania’s largest county by land area running smoothly across 1,244 square miles.

We should thank God for blessing this county with the resources needed to sur-

vive and thrive. Lycoming County remains a safe place to live, work, and raise families. That safety comes from multiple sources working together. Taxpayers fund essential services. Grant money supplements local budgets. Act 13 funds return drilling revenue to communities. Veterans defended the freedom that makes all of this possible in the first place.

Safety requires investment. Justice requires resources. Both pale in comparison to what veterans gave, but both matter for maintaining the world that those veterans fought to preserve. The death penalty discussion highlighted the tension between

ideals and budgets. We want justice. We want deterrence. We want safety. Achieving these goals costs money, time, and sustained commitment.

Vietnam Veterans Day reminded us that some costs transcend calculation. The veterans who served in that war paid with time they can never reclaim, with wounds that never fully heal, with memories that never fade. Their sacrifice bought freedoms we exercise daily without pause. The county’s work, important as it is, operates in the space those veterans created. Every decision made, every budget approved, every criminal prosecuted happens because veterans ensured we remained free enough to govern ourselves.

Spring has fully arrived, bringing with it

the responsibility to honor what came before while building something worthy of the sacrifices that made it possible. Safety is not guaranteed. Freedom is not free. Both require vigilance, resources, and the willingness to act when evil appears. We are blessed to live in a great county. We are blessed with resources and safety that allow us to raise families without constant fear. Most of all, we are blessed with people who served when called, who gave what could not be replaced, who ensured that meetings like this one could happen at all. Vietnam Veterans Day may have passed, but the obligation to remember remains constant. Everything we have was bought at a price we can honor but never fully repay.

Chicken Soup

There’s something inherently special about chicken soup. It’s not ust the avor, although that alone has tremendous merit. It’s also the magic; it works as a tonic for what ails people, like a cold, COVID, or the respiratory u. It s comfort food on steroids. I’d go so far as to say my homemade chicken soup has a medicinal quality so great it could probably regrow a limb or put hair on your chest whichever you prefer.

Melinda Wentzel

There’s nothing complex about my mom’s recipe, though. The ingredients are simple and probably what everyone currently has on hand some fresh veggies (like carrots, celery, and yellow onion), ground black pepper, a little parsley, and can upon can of chicken broth or chicken bouillon cubes. Of course, I boil two or three whole chicken legs and save all of the broth and a little of the fat for the soup.

I like the whole legs because they’re mostly dark meat, which makes the soup more avorful, and I always get them from Tony s Deli in Williamsport one of the best butcher shops/delicatessens in the area (in my humble opinion).

I aim for a nice balance of broth and meat/veggies so that it pleases most of those I’m feeding.

Near the end stages of cooking, I throw in a few handfuls of noodles and let them soften. I use Kluski, but any egg noodle would do.

As for quantities, I m embarrassed to say that I add some and not a speci c amount, which would make it easier to duplicate. Just like my husband’s parents did, the word some would appear on their Pennsylvania Dutch family recipes, and I would cringe when I tried to recreate their favorites for my family.

How much our is in that dough Some

How much cinnamon and butter are in that recipe for apple dumplings Some. It’s so frustrating when I encounter that, so I really do feel your pain if you’re planning to try this recipe anytime soon. But isn’t it more exciting to ust wing it anyway

At any rate, chicken soup is my go-to meal for wintry weather and particularly for friends and family who have fallen ill with something respiratory. There’s something truly brilliant about the steamy blend of brothy goodness, savory meat, and delectable vegetables that I almost crave it in July. Almost.

Not surprisingly, there s real science behind this nearly perfect food for people who are under the weather. I Googled it, because of course I did. According to AI

and Dr. Stephen Rennard at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, in a study published by the American College of Chest Physicians, chicken soup reduces inammation, improves the velocity of nasal mucus, and hydrates — all good things for alleviating the symptoms of the common cold. And it’s been used therapeutically for thousands of years, apparently. Who knew?

A great online resource for tasty recipes I’ve followed for some time is the Stayat-Home Chef, Rachel Farnsworth. She shares short, easy-to-follow videos of a variety of home-cooked meals she prepares on Instagram in just minutes. Her website is a wealth of information, too. Check out her sites if you feel so inclined.

And let us not forget Webb Weekly’s own columnist, Andrea McElroy (Andrea’s Home Cookin ). She offers terri c recipes and cooking tips both online and in the physical publication, right here in Lycoming County.

I know most of the people in my household are big fans of chicken soup, except one of my daughters, who hates soup and certainly wouldn’t eat it on purpose. I’ve personally witnessed her twin sister, however, enjoying my soup. Cold. For breakfast. With a straw. That’s just plain weird, but not all that surprising. Welcome to my world. It’s where I live (probably making a batch of chicken soup). Visit me there at www.melindawentzel.com. Signed books are available on Etsy at PlanetMomMarket.

The Roving Sportsman… Thoughts Regarding Pennsylvania’s Timber Rattlesnakes

By Jon Pries

HNORDMONT REAL ESTATE PUBLIC AUCTION

Saturday, April 18th, 2026 • 10AM

195 Muncy Creek Rd., Muncy Valley, PA. 17758

September 7th 9 a.m.

aving grown up in Lycoming County and spent most of my life roaming its hills and streams, it has been a natural progression to become an avid lover of nature and to enjoy the outdoor sporting opportunities this wonderful area provides. Through the years, my respect and admiration for all the wonders of nature have continued to grow – except for the rattlesnake.

Yes, I am well aware of the interaction of all species and that each and every creature has a purpose in the balance of our natural world, but timber rattlers do not ful ll a purpose that cannot be ful lled by other, much more pleasant snake species. At least, this is my opinion, which you may or may not share. While most rattlesnakes do prefer to be left alone and, if they sense your presence, would rather move out of your way and be left undisturbed, they can, on occasion, be somewhat aggressive. It is said that during the period when they shed their skins and their eyes become glazed, they can be more aggressive. With reduced visibility, they might lash out or strike at things their limited vision does not allow them to identify properly. And there are the times when, if you come upon them suddenly and they are surprised by

your presence, they may strike out of a sense of self-defense. This is natural on their part, but it can have very unpleasant results for you or your pet.

So what can you do The rst step is to educate yourself about our timber rattlers. In 2017, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission announced that it was removing the timber rattlesnake from the endangered list because its numbers had increased to a level where it no longer needed to be listed as endangered in Pennsylvania. For you, that means that there is an increased chance that you may encounter one when hiking, hunting, or shing. But if you leave them alone, they will tend to leave you alone.

Legally, there is a rather complex procedure in place if you want to take a rattlesnake and wish to comply with the laws. First, you will need a current shing license and must obtain a valid annual permit to hunt, take, catch, kill, or possess a timber rattlesnake (or copperhead, for that matter). With the proper license and permit, you can take one Eastern copperhead and one timber rattlesnake per year during the season, which runs from the second Saturday in June (this year, that means June 13) to July 31. The timber rattler must be at least 42 inches in length and must possess 21 or more subcaudal scales (identifying it as a male). But there is more to the

regulation, and if you are serious about the proper procedures, you need to refer to the current edition of the Pennsylvania Fishing Summary handbook. Reptile seasons, limits, and regulations are covered in this manual. The breeding season for our rattlesnakes here in Pennsylvania runs from summer until mid-September. This is when the most sightings occur since the snakes can travel up to a mile from their home area or den as they look for a mate. With the deer archery season soon to be upon us, archers will be scouting areas to hunt starting September 30th and might likely encounter a rattlesnake on their scouting trips. If you spot a rattlesnake, give it a wide berth and note its location so you can be on higher alert if you return.

If you are encountering rattlesnakes near your home and want to repel them, there

are several things you might do. It is said that snakes do not like to crawl over rough or sharp items; wood chips used as mulch or crushed gravel may be effective in repelling them. It has also been said that rattlesnakes do not like the smell of coffee grounds gardeners sometimes scatter them in the garden to repel rattlesnakes. It has been shown that the smell of ammonia repels rattlesnakes; thus, one of the most effective ways to keep them out of an area like a garden is to soak ammonia-soaked rags in unsealed plastic bags and place the bags around the garden. In support of leaving rattlesnakes alone, I was told by an unnamed Fish and Boat Commission Law Enforcement O cer that You should leave rattlesnakes alone since they are what keep the ‘Flatlanders’ at home in the city!”

Since I started shing back in the 1960s, I have used all kinds of baits and lures, and I have had good success with several different presentations, but once I started y shing, I was “hooked.”

I’m sure, however, that if I rigged up my ultralight spinning out t with light line and a number 12 hook with two pink salmon eggs, I could still land a good number of trout.

I’m also sure that some spinners or small minnow imitations like the Rebel minnow lure, if presented properly, would also bring in a good number of trout. The same is true for the good old worm or any number of other baits or lures.

All that said, I will have my yrod in

hand when I hit the stream, and my favorite y- shing technique is working a dry y. I think what makes this type of y shing so much fun is actually seeing that sudden strike on the surface as your y quietly drifts along.

Don’t get me wrong, if the trout aren t taking dry y presentations, I won’t hesitate to switch to a subsurface y like a nymph, streamer, or wet y, but it s that surface activity that I like the most.

For that reason, each spring when the trout season begins, I am especially tuned in to taking my rst trout of the season on a dry y presentation.

Last week, I hit one of the special regulations stretches on a local trout stream, and I managed to catch and release a nice 15-inch brown on a dry y my rst trout of the new season, and it was on a number 14 deer hair caddis.

Several dry- y presentations are good April choices.

One of the best is probably the Quill Gordon, but the Little Blue Dun and the Dark Blue Quill are also early April hatches that can produce some good Outdoors with Ken Hunter…

Ken Hunter

catches. A Royal Coachman can also be productive, and I would never hesitate to put on a good old Adams in a size 14.

Another little trick I like to use when working my dry y is the tandem rig.

After attaching your dry y choice to the end of your tippet, you simply tie on another length of leader material to the bend of the dry y hook. To the end of that leader, you add a sinking y like a wet y or maybe even a nymph. That y could even be an emerger pattern of the dry y you are using.

The length of the leader tied to the bend of the dry y hook depends on the depth you are shing. If I m shing in

a stretch of water three feet deep, I ll probably tie on around two to three feet for that additional tandem rig.

The dry y actually acts as a strike indicator when a trout grabs the submerged y, but you can also get strikes on the dry y as well. The brown trout I caught last week was on a tandem rig, but it hit the dry y.

When I head out to the trout stream, I ll have a wide selection of ies, but you can bet that I m hoping for some dry y activity.

If the water levels remain good and the weather cooperates, I plan to be out putting these ies to the test.

Thank You!

Mr. Muncy

Muncy High School basketball coach Jason Gresh said it best – “March 24 was a bad day for Muncy.”

The occasion of Gresh’s remarks was an April 1 celebration of life remembrance and tribute to John Brink, a Muncy coach and icon who passed away March 24.

Scott Lowery

the boys’ basketball team into the PIAA state playoffs.

Graduating from Muncy High School, his accomplishments were many, including:

– Served honorably in the United States Army as a helicopter crew chief during the Vietnam War.

The public turnout of hundreds of friends, coaches, players past and present and members of the community gathered in the Muncy High School gym as a cadre of speakers spoke humorously and emotionally about the man who devoted 52 years of his life not only coaching the youth of his community but instilling life’s lessons, that have endured the test of time and were revealed as testimonials during the program’s presentation.

– Retired after working 35 years for the employment o ce of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

– Coached Muncy Little League for 47 years, compiling over 400 wins and 13 league titles.

– Coached the Muncy Girls Basketball program from 1985 to 2007, including six 20-win seasons, a Class AA District Title in 1993, and a Class A District Title in 2001.

– Served as Muncy High School boys’ basketball assistant coach for sixteen seasons.

– Twice was a recipient of the

– Recipient of the Lycoming County Brotherhood organization’s Ray Keyes Sports Award as a sports ambassador for all athletes in Lycoming County in 2020.

There were smiles, appreciative nodding of heads, and a few tears on the faces of attendees as Brink’s lifelong coaching associates Thomas “Pumpsie” Ritter, Roger Campbell, and George Henry retold moments of his coaching attributes. Muncy Athletic Director Curt Chilson detailed Brink’s long list of accomplishments serving in a variety of roles at the High School. Brother Dave Brink gave testimony to the positive in uences of their life together.

But it was Gresh’s detailed, riveting, sometimes emotional tribute that revealed how vital Brink’s coaching, dedication, and friendship had meant to him during their years together on the Muncy bench.

“When I was hired as a young coach, the administration told me I needed to surround myself with some gray hair. I sought out John’s help as an assistant coach, and he accepted immediately. He often thanked me for the opportunity, but I am the one to thank him for all he did to help me and our basketball program.”

I am proud to be among so many people who could call John Brink a friend. We enjoyed each other’s company and shared lots of stories. He cared about people and treated them all with respect and dignity.

From the Little Leaguer who rst learned the game under his tutelage to the high school opponent who may have in icted a disappointing defeat, he was the same — treating both with that wry smile on his face and the understanding of what it took to play the game.

After receiving the Lycoming County Brotherhood Award, I interviewed him for a Webb Weekly column. On that occasion, he stated:

“I’m very humbled by it. I guess you could say it is a longevity award. It means the recognition that I have been involved in sports and the lives of young people for a long time. I’ve really enjoyed the associations and friendships I’ve gained over the years, and as long as I am able to stay healthy, I hope to keep on going.”

John Brink did exactly that for 52 wonderful years. We would have all liked to have seen that association go into overtime, but the buzzer up above sounded and ended his run at 77. His coaching victories were plentiful, but on the scoreboard of life, John Brink can best be described as a champion.
