    Four men and two women took their places in the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame on Sunday night, and while they encompass many different sports at many different levels, there was one thing they all had in common: home turf that was fertile and supportive for athletes. “I owe everything I am today to my home in Indiana County,” said Jessie (Bungo) Livermore, an Indiana native who was inducted for her high school and collegiate tennis career. kAm“x?5:2?2 r@F?EJ :D 2 82C56?

    When she heard the news, nobody was more shocked to hear Ashley Woods (née Burkholtz) had been chosen for induction into the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame than Woods herself. She didn’t even know her name was on the ballot. kAm“x >62?[ :E H2D 7=2EE6C:?8[” D96 D2:5] “x H2D 6I4:E65] qFE x H2D DFCAC:D65 E92E 27E6C 2== E96D6 J62CD[ x H2D 6G6? 4@?D:56C65]”k^AmkAm*6E H96?

    EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the fifth of six feature stories about inductees to the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame. Friday: Ashley (Burkholtz) Woods. Trophies are nice to have. Wins are great to celebrate. But for Chris Matava, the great thing about sports is the memories. kAm%92E’D 3642FD6 H96? 96 =@@<D 324< 2E 9:D =:76 :?

    EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the fourth of six feature stories about inductees to the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame. Friday: Chris Matava. If Bruce Yard ever decided to brag about his athletic accomplishments, no one could blame him. He has more than enough to talk about. But self-promotion has never been his style. kAm“x’> ?@E 2 3:8 D6=7\C64@8?:E:@? 8FJ[” 96 D2:5] “x 5@?’E C62==J =:<6 E@ E2=< 23@FE >JD6=7]”k^AmkAm%9:D H66<6?5[ 9@H6G6C[ 96’== 92G6 ?@ 49@:46] ~?

When she was an elementary student at St. Bernard’s Regional Catholic School in Indiana, Jessie Livermore (née Bungo) was given a homework assignment of drawing a place where she felt closest to God. kAm$96 5:5?’E FD6 96C 4C2J@?D E@ 5C2H E96 49FC49 @C 96C 9@>6] $96 5:5?’E 5C2H 2 7:6=5 @7 8@=56?
