"Don't worry, I'm not 60. You're not supposed to shovel at 60. But I'm 84, so it's ok." -Bob

With great sadness, we learned that lifelong Lewisburg resident Dave Arndt died last week. He was so many things: volunteer firefighter, EMT, painter, neighbor. He rescued people during the flood of '72. We featured him here in 2018 and you all reached out to say "I love this man! A very nice gentleman," "Hey that’s my neighbor!" and "You taught me how to spackle ——lots of patience on your part." He touched many lives. We read your comments to him back then and he appreciated all you said. Rest easy, Dave. Lewisburg misses you.

Hi there, neighbors. We are thinking of you during this difficult time. We want to thank you for doing your part by staying at home as much as possible — even if you have no symptoms. That means avoiding playdates, sleepovers, parties, and even small get-togethers indoors with those other than your housemates. Which of the following have you been doing this week? Let us know :)
a) Taking walks outside.
b) Enjoying your online community of friends.
c) Checking in on your loved ones and friends frequently.
d) Keeping informed about what is happening in our neighborhood.
e) Giving to people in need in our community: food pantries, financial donations, personal hygiene items.
f) Buying online gift certificates to your favorite local stores and restaurants to use when this is over.
g) Being a neat freak. Keeping everything as clean as possible.
h) Washing your hands early, often, thoroughly.
i) Spreading help, compassion, and humor.
j) Not panicking. Because, like all outbreaks, this too will eventually end.

Thank you Stay Home Save Lives for the list. View more helpful info at https://www.stayhomesavelives.us

Dave at home on 5th Street.

He's painted just about every house in town and could dictate a Weird Lewisburg book in an afternoon. Nine decades after he was born on the floor of this house he still lives here. He'll offer you a seat on his porch and might try to convince you to be a volunteer firefighter.
