Shipley School senior co-captain Arne Andersen provides living proof that the small family farm still can succeed.
Andersen, the Laxzilla Male Scholar-Athlete of the Week, lives on his family farm outside Phoenixville in Chester County. He helps raise cows, sheep, chickens and goats and believes that the country needs to fall back on the small farmer.
“Oil is down now, but it will go back up and conventional agriculture uses tons of oil, from fertilizer to transportation costs,” Andersen said. “Hopefully, the small family farm will have a revival in the next 30 years.
“If not, we’ll have to get different forms of energy to get food around. The small family farm can be more productive.”

Just a few months into his freshman year in 2013, VMI lacrosse goalkeeper Michael Hutwelker (Valley Forge Military Academy, Lahaska, Bucks County native) traveled with the team to a HEADstrong Foundation Nick Colleluori Classic tournament at Ridley High School and provided a cheek swab just like everyone else was doing but didn’t think anything of it.
Fast forward to 2017 with only a month before graduating from the Institute, Hutwelker was going about his daily responsibilities some four weeks ago when his phone started buzzing with text messages and a missed phone call from a number he did not recognize.
