Domestic violence can be any form of violence against an intimate partner. It can be physical, emotional, verbal, economic, spiritual, or sexual. It’s not always the visible bruises one can see. Abusers display a variety of behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, and threaten their victims. Domestic violence does not discriminate and happens to both men and women of all ages, races, and various economic backgrounds. A former Wise Options client shared just how meaningful the program was in their life. “I can now sleep peacefully at night without the fear of physical injury because of what the advocates at Wise Options did for me.”
As YWCA CEO Amber Morn-
ingstar said, “Your $1 million gi doesn’t just update electrical panels and HVAC systems; it helps us restore dignity and comfort to the lives of the most vulnerable people in our community.”

Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance To Honor Several at Banquet
By Lou Hunsinger Jr.
Abeloved late local musician and community activist, a long-time medical volunteer at the Little League World Series, a music educator, and several “Unsung Heroes” are among those to be honored at the Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance banquet to be held May 7 at the Genetti Hotel.
The guest speaker is a crusader against the scourge of human trafficking, Korrin Monn-Gardner. She founded “Lantern Rescue,” whose purpose, according to its mission statement, is to “liberate victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.” Lantern Rescue works domestically and internationally to combat human trafficking through a unique approach centered on partnering with and mentoring local law enforcement in each region they serve. They aim to empower
nations to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves and will continue to fight until all are free Korrin is a local to Lycoming County. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Lycoming College. She then went on to receive a Graduate Certificate in International Relations from Harvard University Extension and a Juris Doctorate from Penn State University School of Law.
Prior to Lantern Rescue, Korrin worked as a Special Prosecutor for the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office and as a Russian Linguist and Signals Intelligence Operator for the United States Marine Corps.
She now serves as a special prosecutor for Lycoming County, focusing on cases of child sex abuse material (CSAM) and human trafficking, providing no-cost legal support for these critical cases, and advocating for high sentences for

crimes of CSAM and trafficking.
Korrin is also honored to be a member of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Trafficking Task Force. In September 2024, Korrin testified about the reality of human trafficking in Pennsylvania to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Republican Committee.
The late Loni Gamble and Dave Brumbaugh will be the recipients of this year’s William Pickelner Award.
Loni Gamble was an accomplished musician who played with the notable national group “The Stylistics,”
Loni had the opportunity to perform in several bands over the years, including Serenity, Introopadors, and Fresh Out the Box, just to name a few. Eventually, he formed the band Loni Gamble & Sound Cheque/Sugar & Spice, which toured throughout the country singing Motown jams and bringing joy to music lovers over the years.
But Loni’s heart held more than music. He was deeply committed to empowering and mentoring the
youth of Williamsport. In 2002, he founded his first program for kids, the Kennedy King Youth Intervention and Development Project and Basketball League, a program aimed at providing support and structure for underprivileged youth. The program offered scholastic mentorship, gang prevention activities, and education. This initiative eventually evolved into the Community Alliance for Positive Progressive Action (CAPPA), an organization that touched countless lives over the past twenty years.
Loni also started the Young Gentleman (aka YGs) Performing Arts and Life Skills Project, a program designed to provide opportunities to young males through music and art. Soon after, he launched the Phenomenal Young Ladies Project, a self-esteem-building program for girls.
Sadly, Loni is no longer with us, but his legacy of dedicated service to others continues in the hearts of all he touched and served.

Like Loni, music had an all-important and consuming part of Dave Brumbaugh’s life. He got involved in local rock bands at an early age and found that it was a passion for him. He polished his musical skills at the Berklee School of Music, graduating Magna Cum Laude from there in 1984.
For the next decade, he performed with many artists, including Bo Diddley, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, and The Shirelles, played in local bands, and worked as a session guitarist. During that time, he started teaching guitar — not just for income but because he loved it.
The more he taught, the more he realized it wasn’t just a job — it was something he was meant to do.
Focusing on teenagers and young adults, Dave developed a reputation as a teacher who challenged students and helped them unlock unexpected potential.
This led him to founding the Uptown Music Collective, which has
been mentoring young, gifted musicians for 25 years.
Over the years, Dave has watched students go on to study at top music schools, build careers, and even return as teachers. Some pursued music professionally, while others applied the discipline and confidence they developed at the Collective to different fields. The true success of the Uptown Music Collective, however, isn’t in the musicians it produces — it’s in the empowered individuals it shapes.

Many of those students became athletic trainers, whom Mike hired and who still work for UPMC. e Student Athletic Training Workshop funding came from and is still supported by money raided in a golf tournament.
e winners of the Unsung Heroes Award are Rick Mason, Mary Jo Westbrook, Doug Alexander, and Chrissy Heinbach.
“Since 1957, the Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance has held their annual banquet to do just that. Although we run a number of other programs throughout the year, such as sponsoring a Holocaust Museum trip and a National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg trip, both designed to educate and inspire
young people to know and understand these tragic events and to be moved to forward the notion of “never again,” the Annual banquet is perhaps the most well known and much-anticipated event of the year for both members and our guests,” Lee Miller, President of the Board of the Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance, told Webb Weekly. He continued, “Perhaps the most unique awards to be presented at the banquet are our unsung Hero awards. ese awards are relatively new, having just been presented beginning 5 years ago. e LCBA board strongly felt that individuals who toil endlessly under the radar and outside of their usual vocation to make the community a better place to live deserved to have their shining moment as well. e wonderful part of this award is that all the recipients were nominated by family, friends, or those they have touched in a very positive way, not expecting any recognition.”

Hale International Grove and a stop at both of the iconic stadiums

Three Apply to Mayor for Job as Dog Catcher
Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.
Three applicants for the position of dog catcher which, Mayor Herber T. Ames said last evening, is open to a compe-
tent man, visited the mayor this morning seeking the job. e mayor refused to say if any of the applicants he interviewed, or any of the men who phoned him concerning the position would be de nitely recom-
mended for appointment. He spent several hours this morning with the city solicitor and several legal advisors of the city in an e ort to determine the course the city will follow in the matter of the handling of the Water Company case which the Public Services Commission dismissed last night and therefore gave little attention to consider the recommendation for the position of dog catcher.
One of the men who visited the mayor this morning in his o ce is a man who has had three years of experience as dog catcher in a Maryland town.
Before any recommendations upon this matter can be made, the mayor let it be known that he desires that he give all men wishing consideration an opportunity to make application. He set no date for making his decision.

appointed to manage an owner’s property. To accomplish the role of steward, God endowed Adam with the authority and resources needed to serve successfully. Adam had no authority or possessions of his own. It all belonged to God. The same is true for us. As stewards, we exist and serve under the full authority of God the King, the rightful owner of all things. Again, this is why submission is the required posture of every traveler on the road to life.
Submission is not a popular requirement, which is another reason few people travel the road to life. Adam was unwill-
ing to submit, and we also resist bowing the knee. We act like the masters of our destiny and handle God’s property like it belongs to us. This miscalculation results in high levels of stress, anxiety, fear, and discontentment. It is the reason we suffer the meaningless existence described in Ecclesiastes.
God did not intend for us to bear the heavy weight of sovereignty and ownership; he designed us for submission and stewardship. When we carry exactly what we were designed to carry, we experience freedom, purpose, fulfillment, and contentment. This is why Jesus said, “Come to

me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28–29.
Jesus affirmed our role as stewards in the parable of the bags of gold. See Matthew 25:14–30.
When we offer ourselves in full submission to God the King, the yoke of stewardship rests perfectly upon our shoulders. As the Holy Spirit leads us forward on the road to life, every direction he gives aligns perfectly with the gifts and abilities he has invested in us. This truth makes the hard work of traveling the road to life possible. It even makes it meaningful and joyful!
As Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, He knew well the steep and rugged hill he was about to climb. He pleaded with his heavenly Father to be able to carry a different yoke and to walk a different path. With each plea, Jesus offered the sacrificial discipline of submission.
Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39
Jesus offered complete submission to the Father and allowed the yoke of the cross to settle on his shoulders. He carried it up a hill called Golgotha. It is the most difficult climb any man has ever made, and because God had endowed him with everything he needed to succeed, Jesus
reached the top. From the summit, Jesus can see you and me. He is calling us to take up our cross and follow the trail of submission he blazed.
Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and, take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. Matthew 16:24–25 God’s grace has awakened you, and his grace has convicted you. In response, you have confessed, and God has forgiven you. Now, in complete submission, lay down the burdens of sovereignty and ownership and allow God to place upon your shoulders the yoke of submission and stewardship. You’ll find it is a yoke that fits perfectly and empowers you to climb the road to life.
With each summit will come the joy of purpose and meaning. From the heights, you will be able to see the incredible things God’s grace has accomplished in and through you. You will also be able to see the majestic peaks yet to come. Climb joyfully as you keep in step with the cadence of the Spirit—confess, submit, confess, submit.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5–6 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1

Dinner and Story Time
Iwanted to share how Kenzy’s “Dinner and a River Story” went a few weeks back. I know I shared with you all how she wrote a six-chapter story on the river. She worked really hard on it and made sure all her Grammies and Pappies were in it. I recorded a short clip of her reading it and shared it on my Instagram and Facebook stories. People were messaging me and wanted to hear more. I had lived in the moment during her reading to us but recorded just a minute of
her storytelling. It was so sweet. I made ham and cheese cosmos that night for when everyone came over. There were eight of us that night.
Kenzy patiently waited for her grandparents to start pulling into the driveway. She made a sign on the door that said, “WELCOME TO THE DINNER AND STORY TIME.” Kenzy also made everyone a ticket, so when they came to the door, she gave them a ticket and said that they would need it to get into the show.
We all gathered around the table for dinner, and Kenzy was the first one done. You could tell she couldn’t care less about eating and just wanted to get the show on the road! She had anticipated this day for days.
After we were done eating, Kenzy asked for everyone to get up and line up inside the living room door so she could collect tickets. God love, all her grandparents got up and stood in line as each person walked by handing tickets to only walk right back into the dining room where they first came from. Kenz does everything in a big way. That’s her. No one had the heart to say, “Do we really need to get up?” Haha.
But let me just say that the whole night was so worth it. The way she put thought into the front door as people came in, the way she made everyone their own ticket, the way she placed herself smack dab in the middle of the room so everyone had a good view, and the way she slowly dimmed the lights, saying, “Here comes Kenzy with her
story. Silence, please.” (Only our kid.) The way she acted as each character just cracked you up. Mom (me) was super sweet all the time, and Daddy seemed “meh.” Chris was kinda like, “Why did you make me seem so boring, Kenz?” as he laughed. Then, me, I was all sweet and bubbly. Never getting into “MOM MODE.” I laughed and said, “It’s probably because the story is placed at the river, and the river is my happy place! I mean, am I ever grumpy at the river?” Chris laughed and said, “True.” Then I said, “You were probably meh because you were dealing with the boat or something.” We both laughed.
Our boat had been so good to us for five years, but we had to rebuild our engine last year. But Chris has to deal with all that. I do what I can. The boat is back in action now and running the best it ever has. Ya know, boats are just a love-hate relationship. But it brings so much joy to our family. Anchor days with a packed lunch or dinner are my absolute favorite!
Kenzy continued on with her story and talked like her brother and grandparents. She practiced different voices all week as she wanted them to sound different. Even Uncle Joe and Aunt Winny had their moment in her story. These have been memories for her
since she was born. e older she gets, the more she loves it up there, and that makes my heart so happy. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area with mountains and a river. To have a spot right next to the river is a relaxing feeling. You go to unwind and get away from life. Up there, you don’t have the worries you do at home. You go up to get away from it all.
We welcome anyone who wants to come.
Of course, we enjoy our family days, too, but sharing them with friends and family is a joy for us.
I love it when my dad just shows up on the Harley and wants to go for a dip. I’m typically in the water, and if I hear
a Harley, I’m like, “Dad’s here!”
• Red & Green Pepper, sliced
• Large onion, sliced Directions:
to bring a friend up to just sit on the bank and watch us swim. Telling Kenzy, “Now you be careful going down that
Or my momma asking to bring a friend up to just sit on the bank and watch us swim. Telling Kenzy, “Now you be careful going down that waterslide! It makes Grammy nervous because it’s so high!” Kenzy had this as a part of her story. It was hysterical because she nailed her grammy saying it to her. is was the minute that I recorded!
I love that her memories up there are in a book.
I love that she is eleven and already cherishing river days. She was born and raised a river rat, just like her momma.
It’s grilling season, guys. Let’s kick it o with one of our favorite recipes to make on the river. I’ve shared it before, and I’ll share it again.
It’s that good.
Easy Blackstone Chicken Fajitas Ingredients:
• 2 lb. of boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks.
• Two packs of McCormick’s Fajita Seasoning
Clean and cut the chicken into chunks in a large bowl, and add seasoning. Mix well until chicken is covered. Let sit for at least 2-3 hours in the refrigerator. e longer, the better.
In the meantime, prep your veggies so they are good to go too!
We love this recipe at the river and make it all on our Blackstone, but you can use the stovetop, of course, too! When cooking, add oil to the pan or Blackstone. Cook meat on one side and veggies on the other on medi-
um heat. Surprisingly, when they are cooked together, they cook about the same time. I just put salt and pepper on the veggies for seasoning. Cook until the veggies are the way you want and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve with:
• Tortilla Shells
• Sharp Shredded Cheese
• Lettuce
• Sour Cream
• Salsa (if desired)
I also have fresh fruit and Tostito Scoops to go with it.
It is a great fast summer meal that the whole family will enjoy!
With the arrival of spring, activities like baseball, tennis, golf and gardening become part of our daily lives, in addition to responsibilities like lawn mowing and other home maintenance projects.
While it’s tempting to rush out into
the warm weather and get started, make sure you’re following proper safety precautions to protect yourself during these activities.
Mow the lawn, not your hands
During the spring, orthopaedic and trauma surgeons see increased injuries to the hands, arms, and other areas of the body due to unsafe practices when operating lawnmowers and other yard tools. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported more than
185,000 of these injuries in 2023. Never stick your hands near the lawnmower blades or chute, even if the tool is powered off. Blades can still spin, even after a clog is cleared. To clear an obstruction, make sure the mower is powered off and use another object to clear blockages around the blade instead of your hands.
To protect yourself, always read the safety and operating instructions included with any new piece of yard equipment. Wear eye protection, gloves, and closedtoed shoes as a first line of defense.
Safety first for outdoor projects
Nearly 300,000 people visited an emergency room due to falls from ladders or stools in 2023. If you’re trimming trees, clearing gutters, or doing other tasks, make sure your ladder or stool is secured in place before climbing on – especially when using sharp objects like hedge trimmers. Ask a family member or neighbor to hold the ladder in place to reduce the risk of falling.
tive use. Immediately clean and disinfect any cuts obtained while gardening to prevent infections.
Common spring sports injuries
As spring sports ramp up, so does an increased incidence of sprained and strained wrists with activities like golf, tennis, baseball and softball. Tennis, golfer, and pitcher’s elbows occur when the tendons that attach muscle to the bone deteriorate from excessive throwing or swinging motions used in those sports.
These types of injuries may be named after sports, but they can happen anytime a tendon is overused or misused.
When working in the garden, avoid cuts, punctures and scrapes by wearing appropriate work gloves. Make sure your tools are sharpened, safely stored, and handled with care when in use. To prevent overuse injuries, stretch the fingers and hands after long periods of repeti-
Treatment for sprains and strains include rest, ice, compression, and elevation. But if you are still experiencing long-term discomfort, consult with a physician as physical therapy, surgery, or other pain management techniques may be needed. Injuries vary in their location, severity and complexity. Go to the emergency department if you’re experiencing severe bleeding or pain or an open fracture such as a bone protruding through the skin.

A Hygiene Guide for Kids
The world learned a signi cant lesson about the importance of personal hygiene during the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from getting vaccinated, one of the single-best things people could do to prevent the transmission of the virus was to wash their hands thoroughly throughout the day, particularly a er touching surfaces at stores, schools and other public places.
e importance of handwashing is one of the earliest hygiene lessons children learn. But it’s not the only important lessons kids should be taught about person-
al hygiene and how it relates to overall health. Here are the grooming and hygiene lessons that children should learn as they get older and mature.
Washing hands
Regular handwashing reduces the risk that kids will contract and transmit illnesses. Everyone should wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or about how long it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” two times. It is important to wash hands a er going to the bathroom; before eating or making food; a er sneezing, coughing or blowing one’s nose; a er touching pets or
other animals; and whenever hands are dirty. Emphasize to children that germs are there even though they cannot be seen.
Bathing/showering
e American Academy of Pediatrics says a baby should be bathed three times a week, but there may be instances when children require more frequent bathing. Over-bathing can dry out the baby’s skin, so parents are urged to keep that in mind.
At some point a child can bathe on his or her own. Parents magazine says some kids are mature enough to bathe on their own at age ve or six, but most experts recommend waiting for solo bathing or showering until youngsters reach age eight.
Fresh clothing
Encourage children to pick their own out ts so they are more inclined to choose fresh clothing each day. While it is possible to get away with wearing something for more than one day, soiled clothing and undergarments should be changed daily and children should be encouraged to do so.
Washing hair
Sebum from the skin can build up on the scalp and cause oily, smelly hair. Children should wash their hair once or twice each week and brush it every day, according to Health Direct, an Australia-based health organization. If kids are afraid of getting water in their eyes, suggest they wear swimming goggles while
bathing.
Head lice inspection
Head lice is common in children. e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are six to 12 million infestations of head lice each year in the United States. Inspecting children’s hair and treating when necessary can help to reduce such infestations.
Using antiperspirant or deodorant
As children get older and their hormones and bodies change, some may develop body odor. Daily showers may be needed for kids who have started puberty. In addition, the daily use of deodorant or antiperspirant can help control odor and sweating.
Oral hygiene
Oral hygiene is another consideration for kids’ health. e American Dental Association says teeth should be brushed and ossed twice a day as part of a daily hygiene routine.
Lessons emphasizing personal hygiene and grooming can keep kids healthy as they grow up.

By Joseph W. Smith III
Two thousand eight hundred and seventy-four.
I’ve been collecting weird vocabulary for roughly 20 years — culled from reading in books and articles, along with the occasional oddity in conversation, from Jeopardy or on the internet. (And sometimes, I just go fishing in one of my hard-copy dictionaries.)
As you may have guessed, my list now stands at 2,874. Here’s a handful of recent finds:
Collieshangie (KOLL-ee-shang-ee, noun)
– Speaking of reading: I’ve been on a Robert Louis Stevenson kick lately, and this literary master — born in Edinburgh in 1850 — sometimes leans on Scottish dialect. Collieshangie is from “Thrawn Janet,” a creepy but well-nigh indecipherable tale strewn with Scots terms like unco, oxter, neuk and howff. While I plan a separate column on those later this year — for St. Andrews Day, Nov. 30 — I couldn’t resist such a delicious mouthful. It means, simply, “a noisy fight or brawl.” Like much Scottish slang, its origin is unknown.
Demurrage (dih-MURR-idge, noun) –
This word — related to the verb demur — means “detention in port of a vessel by the shipowner, as in loading or unloading, beyond the time allowed or agreed upon” (Dictionary.com). It can also apply to other cargo-carriers like planes, trucks and railcars. Found in a recent read by Nevil Shute — one of my go-to authors. (Fair to say I’ve been on a Shute kick for, oh — around 20 years, I guess; I recommend Pastoral, Pied Piper, A Town Like Alice and Trustee from the Toolroom.)
Fufu (FOO-foo, noun) – Also spelled fufu or foo-foo, this is, according to American Heritage, “a thick, doughlike West African food made by boiling and pounding a starchy vegetable such as yam, plantain, or cassava.”
Majlis (MAHJ-liss, noun) – When capitalized, Majlis refers to the Iranian parliament. Relatedly, it’s a common noun for a public audience held by a ruler to address petitions from his/her subjects. This and the next item were also culled from Shute. Nipcheese (NIP-cheez, noun) – When I came across this, I naturally assumed it
was some sort of snack-cracker; but as this didn’t fit the context, I figured it was obscure 20th-century slang that wouldn’t be in the dictionary — and it is indeed rare, but official: “a ship’s purser.”
That would be the individual who oversees papers and accounts while also tending to passengers’ comfort (sort of like an onboard concierge).
Relatedly, nipcheese can refer to a stingy or miserly person (literally, “food-pincher”).
Ovolo (OH-vuh-low, noun) – Architectural term for “a rounded convex molding” (Collins); but you kinda need a picture for the full sense. So either Google ovolo molding image — or imagine the corner where a vertical wall meets the ceiling, with the right-angle filled by a quarter-cylinder whose rounded edge bulges outward. Sorry if that’s not helpful; I guess that’s why God gave us the internet.
Pelecypod (puh-LESS-uh-pod, noun) –Somewhat outmoded term for a bivalve — well known to seashell-collectors as a mollusk (e.g., scallop, clam, mussel, oyster) with two hinged shells. According to Wikipedia, this class was also once known as Lamellibranchiata — so how ’bout we just stick to “bivalve.”
FWIW, in Greek, pelecypod literally means “ax-foot” — no idea why.
Prognose (prahg-NOCE, verb) – While
it looks like a handy new facial insult, this is simply the verb form of prognosis — and thus pronounced like dose, not nose. Fun to say, though!
Tamandua (tuh-MAN-duh-wuh, noun) –Sometimes pronounced with the stress on its last syllable — or alternately, just called a tamandu — this is “either of two arboreal anteaters of Central and South America having a nearly hairless tail” (Merriam-Webster). Derived from the native Tupi language of Brazil, the word literally means “ant-thief.”
Wabi-sabi (WAH-bee-SAH-bee, noun) – This one I came across as “word of the day” at Dictionary.com. I don’t regularly grab these, feeling that someone else did the work to unearth them; but wabi-sabi was too good to resist. That source defines it as “a Japanese aesthetic concept that finds beauty and serenity in objects, landscapes, designs, etc., that are simple, imperfect, and impermanent.” Examples might include admiring the tarnish on an old dish, or ripples of sand about to be washed away by the sea. Wikipedia puts it this way: “acceptance of transience and imperfection.”
Frankly, I think the Japanese have something here; I’m starting to feel like I’ve spent my whole life trying to reach this state. Not there yet; but working with words and definitions sure helps….
Six Benefits of Spaying and Neutering
Each year millions of dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters because of overpopulation. Just a few years ago, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters were emptied out as pet adoptions reached all-time highs. Now that o ces have reopened and people have returned to work and other activities, pets increasingly are being surrendered to shelters again, once more leading to overtaxed shelters and other facilities.
Overburdened shelters also are made worse by litters of animals born to unsterilized parents. e American Veter-
inary Medical Association says spaying and neutering are important tools for preventing unplanned or unwanted litters and reducing pet overpopulation. Most experts agree there is little bene t to leaving pets’ reproductive systems intact. Even family pets can get loose and mate unintentionally. e following are six notable bene ts to spaying or neutering a pet.
1. Prevent the conception and birth of unwanted animals.
2. e ASPCA says spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of breast tumors, which are malig-
nant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying a pet before the rst heat o ers the best measure of protection.
3. Neutering male animals prevents testicular cancer if done before six months of age.
4. Neutered animals are less likely to roam and become nuisances. Female cats can go into heat four to ve days every three weeks during breeding season. While in heat they will yowl and urinate frequently. Males will be on the prowl for females and can get into ghts. Spaying and neutering reduces these tendencies.
5. Neutering and spaying is a lot less costly than having and caring for a litter. It also prevents medical treatment from
being needed in the event a pet gets into a ght over mating.
6. Although the surgery will reduce some undesirable behaviors, it is not a magic x for all behavioral problems, including bad habits.
e ASPCA says the traditional age to sterilize dogs is between six and nine months. Healthy puppies as young as eight weeks can undergo a spaying or neutering surgery. For cats, it is generally considered safe for kittens as young as eight weeks old. To avoid the start of urine spraying, neuter or spay a cat before the animal reaches ve months of age. Spaying and neutering is important for animal health and helps to reduce pet overpopulation.
Poet Releases Fourth Book
“There isn’t an instruction manual for anything worthwhile.”
And that includes poetry.
Happily, Alison Malee’s literary output is glowingly accessible — and certainly worthwhile.
The quote above is from her 2024 collection of poems, It Is All Equally Fragile; that’s the fourth book by this local author — a 2012 Loyalsock High School graduate who recently moved back to Lycoming County after several years in New York City.
Preceded by Shifting Bone (2016), The Day Is Ready for You (2018) and This Is the Journey (2019), her latest volume offers brief, beautiful poems which — like so many of the best — are simply one of a kind.
Among many other merits, Malee has a way with evocative titles: “Ode to the Expendable,” “What Good Would It Do To Give Up Now?”, “What Is Another Word for Rain?” and “Any Learned Fear Can Be Unlearned.”
So you see what I mean by accessible.
Many of the poems comprise nothing more than a disarmingly simple list: “Definitions,” “Occurrences,” “A Series of Requests,” “What Is Keeping Me Alive” and “Questions My Daughter Asks.”
It reminds me of a college friend who remarked, upon discovering Whitman’s poems: “These are really just lists; but what lists!”
Indeed, Equally Fragile addresses a vast range of human experience: seasons, friendship, faith, femininity, nature, marriage & kids, loss & grief, writing & poems, phones & social media, book groups, sexuality — even a car crash.
Yet for me, the poems’ great strength is their ability to offer wisdom and advice without sounding trite, superficial or pedantic.
While older poets do that a lot, modern writers tend to avoid it quite strictly. (As Archibald MacLeish once wrote: “A poem should not mean, / But be.”)
Yet there is something about Malee’s voice that’s so honest, so transparent, so authentic — she not only gets away with it, but also, at the same time, leaves
you feeling better about your life and your world.
Here are some samples:
“Growing up is hard on the imagination.”
“We are all choosing to live — choosing to live! — / and praying it will be a choice that is honored.”
“I may wander back / to an old self one day, and / discover it is not me anymore.”
“We have nowhere to store our loneliness, / and so the world becomes a lover.”
“Being afraid / is a house in which / we have shattered / all of the windows.”
“Today is held together / by the same worry as yesterday.”
“The universe / says grace, and amen, / for its own offerings.”
I trust you can also see that despite the apparent simplicity, there’s a deep well of reflection, feeling and experience beneath the beguilingly unadorned phraseology. I read the book twice, and both times I found myself going back to re-read every individual poem a sec-
ond or third time.
And as with the best poetry, I would always find the additional readings well rewarded with a richer, deeper feeling for the work.
While many poets struggle to get published these days — or else they go the self-publishing route — Malee has been picked up by legit houses, including Andrews-McMeel; she is currently working on a fifth volume, due in 2026.
And since her work is so very personal, I don’t mind ending with a personal note of my own:
For me, it’s a special pleasure to promote Malee’s work, as I was privileged to have her in the English classes I taught at Loyalsock High School many years ago. She and I also acted together in an LTHS production of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, where I played father to her feisty, fight-prone female.
I’ll never forget how hard I worked persuading her to push me down on the floor in one early scene; she felt it was disrespectful, but I insisted it fit her character and would play well with the audience.
I guess you could say that even after all these years, she’s still knocking me over. And it plays well.

County Hall Corner: Freedom was Not and is Not Free
By Larry Stout
History is important because it is tough to know where you are going if you don’t know where you have been. Our country has a rich heritage that we should celebrate for the next couple of years, starting now.
There are many countries in the world that are much older than the United States, but only a very, very few have had the same government as long as the United States of America. Our country’s uniqueness in the 18th century was unheard of at the time. Almost all countries were governed by monarchies. The idea of democracy governed in a republic had not been considered since the ancient Greeks.
The colonists who originally left Mother England considered themselves good citizens of the crown, but they needed more room and freedom. Christianity was a back-and-forth battle between Protestants and Catholics for several centuries, depending on who had the crown on their head. When the possibility of starting fresh opened, the most persecuted sects hopped on ships and
went to the New World.
England was used to colonies; they had them all over the world. But America was different because this was not like African nations or India, which had indigenous people ruled by Brits. The immigrants from Britain built their homes and communities and also had to deal with the various indigenous Indian tribes, some of which were friendly, and many were not. They did all this with very little assistance from Mother England, thank you very much.
For over a century, the colonists and the British Parliament bickered until King George III took the throne in 1769. This is when the feces began to fly. His way of doing things was with an iron fist, which resulted in a rebellion, which we know as the American Revolution.
The Battle of Concord was the first military engagement of the American Revolutionary War. And yes, there was Paul Revere, who did make a ‘midnight’ ride, but two others were riding as well. Paul Revere himself did not get to finish because he and William Dawes were captured on their way. It was a third rider, Samuel Prescott, a
physician, who got through the lines and alerted the town of Concord.
Four hundred “minutemen” showed up and stopped the British troops on Concord’s North Bridge. We can appreciate today the passion of these American colonists, as the British troops were there to take the guns away from them. (Second Amendment, anyone?)
I am one hundred percent sure that those farmers, fishermen, shopkeepers, blacksmiths, cobblers, carpenters, tailors, and possibly their sons did not know that this encounter would be known as “the shot heard ‘round the world.” However, they were probably very aware that they were facing arguably the most powerful army in the world. The battles that followed showed that the colonists were willing to fight to the death for their rights and liberties.
Those men had grit. They were not
focused on politics and government and all that stuff. They just wanted to live freely and peacefully. They wanted justice through law and order. And they wanted it on this continent. They would travel thousands of miles to explore it and see it grow.
All this began at the Battle of Concord, which occurred on April 19, 1775, 250 years ago this month. When they told the British that they had made the decision to be independent, the document we know as the Declaration of Independence was presented on July 4, 1776.
Next year, we will celebrate the 250th year of our nation’s independence, but it began with four hundred brave New Englanders who were willing to lay down their lives if necessary to defend their homes, families, and possessions. In my travels around the world, I have found many, many people who admire the audacity that the Americans showed to form their new republic. It caused many European countries to transfer their royals to figureheads and initiate free elections that would produce their leaders.
Given two and half centuries of freedom and independence, we need to stop a moment and take a strong breath of fresh, free air our ancestors have given to us.

tin, a legend in the region with over 35 years of experience, will lead the action alongside fellow auctioneer Mr. Justin Gardner. Their combined expertise promises an energetic, fast-paced auction experience full of great finds and good fun.
Also joining the day will be auctioneering students from HACC, gaining valuable hands-on experience as part of their training to earn professional licenses. The event serves as a meaningful opportunity to invest not only in ARW’s mission but also in the future of the auctioneering trade.
Items can be previewed prior to the event at AuctionZip.com. Please note: no pre-sale orders or holds will be accepted. Cash, check, and credit card payments will be accepted on-site. The event will be held rain or shine, and food will be available for purchase, making it the perfect Saturday outing for collectors, bargain hunters, and supporters of a great cause.
“The charity auction reflects the spirit of what ARW has always stood for—com-
munity helping community,” said Jennifer Rempe, ARW spokesperson. “Every winning bid helps us continue to provide critical support to those experiencing hunger, homelessness, and hardship right here in Lycoming County.”
In years past, the charity auction was held inside the American Rescue Workers warehouse at their Elmira Street location, but recent changes in the operations layout precludes the event from being held inside. “Last year, we held our 90th birthday party outside under a giant tent, and it worked really well. We had about 500 people underneath it! So, we decided to bring the auction back and hold the event outside. Hopefully, we will get enough sponsors to cover the cost of the tent rental. We hope to have the food donated as well.”
Corporate sponsorships are available by calling or emailing Rempe at (570) 323-8401x6 or jennifer.rempe@arwwilliamsport.org. “Corporate sponsors will really help us to change the face of the event by covering expenses before anything is even on the auction block. Backyard Broadcasting is really helping us to move the event into the next century.” Additionally, volunteers are being sought for the event day. Shifts are 3-4 hours, and jobs include running items,

In addition, the ARW has successfully graduated 19 individuals from the Fresh Start program and serves approximately 120 homeless individuals at the Saving Grace Shelter with 24/7 care. e shelter also equated to 2,070 nights sheltered in 2024. e ARW continues to provide several critical resources for the community. is year, they plan to launch a Mobile Food Pantry, which will serve Lycoming
County’s more displaced and vulnerable populations, like pregnant moms, seniors, and veterans.

“A Better Ending: A Brother’s Twenty-Year Quest to Uncover the Truth About His Sister’s Death” by James Whitfield Thomson c.2025, Avid Reader Press
$28.99
304 pages
You ask too many questions. Adults said that all the time when you were a child. They called you nosy and they shushed you, claiming that kids should be seen and not heard. Adults say that really often, but what happens if you are the adult? What
happens if, as in the new memoir, “A Better Ending” by James Whitfield Thomson, you’re not asking enough?
Though they tussled a lot when they were children, James Whitfield Thomson and his sister, Eileen, were close growing up but like many people, the siblings matured, thrived, and later drifted apart. By the early 1970s, Thomson was married and had moved to Philadelphia. Eileen married and went to California.
Fast forward to the fall of 1974.
Thomson was a father of one by then; he knew that his sister had struggled with infertility, though her marriage seemed solid. He had spoken to Eileen on the phone, but
not often, and he hadn’t seen her in four years — a fact he came to regret that fall.
A fact he rued after Eileen killed herself with a gunshot to her chest.
Fast forward nearly thirty years.
Divorced and remarried, Thomson began to understand that he’d always wanted to be a writer. He also knew that he carried a lot of inner anger. His parents were ailing, his elder brother was ill, and these things spurred him to journal for his children, leading him to think about writing a novel about the aftermath of suicide.
That was when he realized there was something about Eileen’s death that he hadn’t completely dealt with. Questions began to surface.
In 2004, his then-brother-in-law’s 1974 story didn’t quite fit. Vic had once claimed he was in another room when Eileen pulled the trigger, that he’d desperately tried to save her life. But did he, really?
More than three decades later, Thomson had to know…
At first blush, “A Better Ending” seems like it might be just another true crime story with a personal tie. There’s a detective here, a couple of quiet insider-helpers, and a mystery that gets deeper and deeper as pages pass.

And there’s a shocker: author James Whitfield Thomson drops occasional bomblets into his narrative, almost as a series of asides — tales of violence, domestic abuse, suicide, gunfire, and anger lurking in just about every corner of his family. Together, those incidents run like an ice-cold river beneath the overall story of his sister’s last
weeks, and they feel like a slap each time another one’s revealed — but it’s impossible to look away from them. Also, without being a spoiler, the violence comes so honestly — but so casually — that it makes the tooswift ending of this book feel like several kinds of wrong. See if you’re not left shaken.
“A Better Place” is a bit rough around the edges, but it’s an oh-so-compelling read for true crime fans, lovers of memoirs, and anyone who’s lost a sibling in unresolved ways.
So what are you waiting for? That is the question to ask.
Spring Gobbler Season is Calling
Pennsylvania hasn’t always had a spring turkey hunting season, simply because it didn’t always have enough turkeys to sustain one.
Things are sure different than decades ago.
The 2025 spring gobbler season is just about here. It starts with a oneday hunt for junior license holders and eligible mentored youth on April 26, from one-half hour before sunrise until noon. The regular statewide season runs from May 3-17, when hunting hours also are from one-half hour before sunrise until noon, and May 19-31, when hunting hours run from one-half hour before sunrise to onehalf hour after sunset.
Hunters are allowed one gobbler with their general license. Those who purchase a second spring gobbler tag by May 2 can take a second bird, though not more than one per day.
Unlike decades ago, plenty of birds await.
In the decades before May 1968 –when Pennsylvania established its first spring turkey season – turkeys
were scarce, here and throughout their range. Habitat loss and unregulated, commercial market hunting drove down the number of wild turkeys to only about 30,000 nationwide, according to estimates.
In 2019, the last year for which data is available, there are perhaps 5 million birds across the country. Pennsylvania’s spring harvests alone over the last three years have averaged 38,000 annually. That will likely be the case again this year, thanks to some good news on the turkey front.
According to the Game Commission’s annual summer turkey sighting survey, which tracks turkey reproductive success over time, turkey populations have lucked out with above-average reproduction during the last four years. And in 2024, summer reproduction was good in all 22 Wildlife Management Units, for the first time since 2019, when the nationally standardized turkey sighting survey began.
That’s more than just a blip on the radar screen, too, said Mary Jo Casalena, the Game Commission’s wild
turkey biologist.
“We have seen a general increase in the statewide reproductive success over the past four years,” Casalena said.
Hunters have been taking advantage of that. Last spring they harvested 39,200 gobblers, more than the previous three-year average of 34,500. They were efficient in going about it, too. Last spring’s harvest per 100 days –the Game Commission’s standard for measuring the effort needed to bag a gobbler – was the second-highest ever recorded.
That might be tough to beat this year, especially because the statewide flock contains a lot of 3-year-old and older gobblers, the toughest kind to fool. But Casalena is excited and thinks the rest of the state’s 170,000 or so turkey hunters should be, too.
“I can’t wait for the season to begin,” she said. “There are a lot of different signs of spring, but for me, there’s none like the enthusiastic call of a gobbler making his presence known to all around.”
Casalena said hunters are well served to scout for birds, listening at daybreak for gobbles, or using shock calls
like owl and crow calls – though sparingly – to locate them. Start by looking in good turkey habitat, which means places with a 60/40 mix of woods and more-open habitat, be it agricultural fields or grassy openings. If turkeys are in the area, they’ll leave signs of their presence: tracks, feathers, droppings and scratchings in the leaf litter and dirt.
Find that and you’re at least in the ballpark. Then, the real game begins.
“Turkeys can be tough to fool, especially if they’ve already survived a season or two,” Casalena said. “So it’s not easy to take one. But that’s what makes the season so enjoyable, the challenge behind getting an opportunity to harvest a bird and put food on your family’s table.”
Licensing and regulations
Junior licenses holders and eligible mentored youth may participate in the one-day youth hunt. Hunters under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
An adult accompanying a mentored youth may not supervise more than three hunters total, and must carry
GAME COMMISSION
the sporting arm at all times when a mentored hunter is moving.
Mentored hunters 7 and older receive a spring turkey harvest tag with their required mentored hunting permit. Mentored hunters under 7 who harvest a turkey must receive a harvest tag through transfer from their mentor. Hunting hours during the youth hunt end at noon.
During the youth hunt and the rest of the spring season, hunters may use manually operated or semiautomatic shotguns limited to a three-shell capacity in the chamber and magazine combined. Muzzleloading shotguns, crossbows and long, recurve and compound bows also are permitted.
Only bearded birds may be harvested during the spring season. Hunters are encouraged to refrain from knowingly harvesting bearded hens because they do nest and raise broods.
There is no requirement for hunters to wear fluorescent orange during the spring turkey season, though wearing it is recommended, especially while moving.
Blinds used while turkey hunting
must be manufactured with manmade materials of sufficient density to block movement within the blind from an observer outside the blind. Blinds must completely enclose the hunter on all four sides and from above. It is unlawful to hunt turkeys from blinds made of natural materials such as logs, tree branches and piled rocks.
Blinds that represent the fanned tail of a gobbler do not hide all hunter movement and are unsafe, and therefore are unlawful to use in Pennsylvania.
It is unlawful, as well as unsafe, to stalk turkeys or turkey sounds. When in a stationary position, a hunter should sit with his or her back against a large tree, rock or other barrier that shields movement and offers protection from others who might approach from the rear. All hunters are to wait and properly identify their targets prior to pulling the trigger.
A spring turkey harvest tag is included with any adult or junior general hunting license. Additionally, hunters can purchase a license to harvest a second gobbler in the spring season.

Sales of this $21.97 license ($41.97 for nonresidents) end May 2, one day before the regular statewide season begins.
Because the second spring gobbler license includes a harvest tag, it cannot be printed at home. Licenses and harvest tags are mailed when purchased online, but hunters who might need any license sooner rather than later likely are better off buying it directly from an issuing agent.
For more information on spring turkey hunting rules and regulations, pertaining to the youth or regular hunts, check the 2024-25 Pennsylvania Hunting & Trapping Digest, which is provided with a hunting license and is available online at https:// www.pa.gov/agencies/pgc.html.
Turkey hunting safety
Hunting is safer in Pennsylvania now than at any other time in history. That applies to spring turkey hunting, too.
Overall, hunting accidents, or Hunting Related Shooting Incidents (HRSIs) as they’re called, have declined by 80% since 1959 when measured in number of incidents per 100,000 hunters. It was about that same time that the Game Commission began
offering hunter education courses to improve safety.
Still, even one accident is one too many. So when you go into the turkey woods this spring, remember these safety tips:
– For safety, turkey hunters should not wear clothing that contains black, like the color found on a turkey’s body, or red, white or blue, like those on a turkey’s head.
– Sit against a large stump, tree trunk or boulder that is wider than your shoulders and higher than your head. This hides your movement from turkeys and offers protection from other hunters who might approach from the rear.
– Positively identify your target. Before pulling the trigger, be absolutely certain it’s a legal turkey and that there’s nothing in your line of fire or beyond it.
– If you shoot a bird, put your gun’s safety on and approach the downed bird with your firearm pointed in a safe direction. Never run with it.
– If you see another hunter, do not move, wave or make turkey sounds. Rather, remain still and speak in a loud, clear voice to announce your

presence.
– Leave an area if you suspect there’s another hunter already working the same bird.
– Finally, while there is no requirement to wear uorescent orange while turkey hunting, it is recommended to wear it while moving.
Reporting harvests
Successful turkey hunters must immediately tag their bird before moving it from the harvest site and are required by law to report the harvest to the Game Commission within 10 days. ose reports are key to managing turkeys, as they allow the Game Commission to estimate harvest and population trends.
Hunters can report turkeys in three ways: by visiting https://HuntFish. PA.gov and clicking the “Report a Harvest” button near the top of the home page; by calling 1-800-8384431; or by lling out and mailing the harvest report card in the digest hunters get when they buy a license. Have your harvest tag in front of you when reporting to be sure you can provide all the requested information. e public also is asked to report any turkeys harvested or found with leg
bands or radio transmitters. Not only does the person reporting learn when and approximately where the bird was banded, but the information received on those birds – which are legal to take – helps estimate spring harvest rate and annual survival rate by Wildlife Management Unit, Casalena said. ose are critical pieces of data for the state’s turkey population model.
Radioed turkeys are part of ongoing research studies. Leg bands feature a toll-free number, website and email address for reporting.
Handling turkeys
ough their habits and comparatively small ock sizes limit a wild turkey’s risk for contracting Highly Pathogenic Avian In uenza (HPAI), turkeys can get it.
Hunters harvesting a turkey should follow some routine steps to protect themselves and reduce the risk of spreading this extremely contagious disease, which appeared in Pennsylvania in 2022. Namely, when handling or dressing harvested wild birds:
– Have dedicated footwear, clothing and tools used only for that purpose.
– Wear gloves.
– Do not eat, drink or smoke.
– Wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer immediately a er.
– Wash all tools and work surfaces with soap and water, then disinfect with a 10% household bleach solution. Allow to air dry or rinse a er 10 minutes of contact time.
– Change footwear and clothing before coming in contact with any domestic poultry or pet birds.
– Dress harvested wild birds in the eld.
– Double bag any o al and feathers that will be removed from the eld.

Wedding Trends
Wedding season is upon us, and recently, a Webb Weekly staff member tied the knot. Congratulations, Steph!
So, it got me thinking about what’s in and what’s out for weddings these days. Here’s a rundown of some trends I’ve seen following various wedding channels and hearing how friends are considering their own nuptials.
First up, the return to home weddings. Pre-pandemic destination weddings were all the rage, especially for non-religious ceremonies. I myself attended a wedding in Cancun in November 2019.
When travel opened back up, folks were itching to celebrate abroad. Now, with that post-Covid travel frenzy dying down, the trend has swung back to weddings at home, not just in your hometown, but actually at your residence.
There are backyard weddings, living room weddings, and front porch weddings. Why? Well, there is the obvious cost benefit, but also, there’s a greater sense of authenticity and the significance of place. Weddings at childhood homes are especially poignant and better speak to the narrative of the couple rather than an all-inclusive resort set-
ting.
Of course, an at-home wedding does not mean an entire DIY affair. Catering is nothing new to weddings, but instead of a venue providing a sit-down dinner, folks are starting to lean away from the chicken or fish menu and go with less traditional fare. Food trucks, a local restaurant or chef, or the couple’s favorite restaurant catering further personalizes the celebration. There’s also the potluck wedding, which allows family and friends to contribute with culturally significant dishes.
Speaking of dishes, old-fashioned cakes are on the rise. To be honest, cake was never out of style at weddings; it’s a huge part of a standard reception. For a while, cupcakes were having a moment, but now trends are swinging back to the tiered cake. While cake budgets in the past could get out of control with elaborate cake designs, the trend recently has been minimal cakes with lighter decorations. Think a few flowers, a vintage topper, or some drizzles of chocolate or raspberry for a simple, yet elegant cake for your big day.
On the drinks side of weddings, there are open bars, cash bars, just wine and beer, or signature cocktails. Oh, and

of Parking at the Lions Club,
God forbid, and never again, a dry wedding. Whatever kind of selection you have, focus on keeping the line short so as not to kill the vibe with guests waiting for drinks. Obviously, self-serve can be dicey, so if you can have a bar staffer serve folks, have them prepare pours ahead of time. Premixed cocktails, punch bowls, bottles or cans of beer at the ready, and even some rows of filled wine glasses for quick pick up to get back on the dance floor.
Home or church hall weddings aren’t for everyone. Those seeking a bit more adventure may check out Train Weddings. The Knot has a recent piece on eight train wedding venues, one of which is located in New Hope, PA. There are other options a bit further afield in Baltimore, Virginia, and North Carolina. This would be a once-in-alifetime experience, hands down, and provide guests with amazing scenery as the backdrop to your big day. You can have the ceremony and reception on the train as it chugs along. Or utilize the train station itself as a venue with the ceremony on the tracks and the re-
ception standing still or vice versa.
As for what’s out on the wedding front, first-up welcome bags. Overstuffed bags full of items no one wants to lug home are falling out of trend. Instead, have favors that can be consumed onsite, like chocolates or mini-bottles of champagne. Plus, having consumable takeaways is a more sustainable option. Weddings are now looking to reduce waste — especially by not having disposable plastic for tchotchkes, props, cups, flatware, etc.
Another aspect of past weddings that is on the decline is the standard timeline of events: ceremony, pictures/ cocktail hour, cutting the cake before you eat, tossing the bouquet and garter before dancing, couples’ first dance, then parents’ dance, etc. These traditions can start to feel like chores when adhering to a rigid timeline. Instead, couples are making a more organic schedule or eschewing certain practices altogether.
Full disclosure: I had a very traditional church wedding with a standard reception, which is what our parents wanted, and we were happy with it. But as a very young bride, my options were limited. If I were in the market for a second wedding or elaborate vow renewal, I would definitely do things very differently and take a few cues from some of these modern wedding trends.

How Social Media Affects Kids’ Mental Health
Social media has become such a key component of most people’s lives that it is easy to think that it as always been there. SixDegrees, created in 1997, was the rst social media site similar to the format known today. When SixDegrees shut down in 2001, Friendster, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Facebook soon took root. e University of Maine reports there are now 4.8 billion social media users worldwide, representing 92.7 percent of all internet users. And according to the American Family Survey 2023, 96 percent of parents say their kids have access to at least one social media platform. Many use multiple online platforms daily.
Although social media may have originated as a means to bring people together, there are many who argue that it actually does the opposite. Instances of cyberbullying, which is a form of online harassment, have grown as social media has become more pervasive. Some experts believe that mental health concerns are an unexpected side e ect of increased social media use, says Johns Hopkins Medicine. In fact, in the spring of 2023, United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, released an advisory that suggested social media is harmful to young people. In 2024, Dr. Murthy called for a surgeon general’s warning label on social
media not unlike the warnings on cigarette packages.
How might social media a ect children’s mental health? Here are some of the main concerns.
Changes in a developing brain: According to the Surgeon General’s report, children’s brains go through a highly sensitive period of development between the ages of 10 and 19, when feelings of self-worth are forming. Frequent social media use may a ect these feelings as children compare themselves to others they see online. In addition, functions like emotional learning, impulse control and emotional regulation may be a ected.
Development of depression: Johns Hopkins Medicine says research has demonstrated there are high rates of depression attributed to very low social media use and very high social media use. Finding a healthy balance might not be as easy as it seems.
Addiction: ere is some evidence that children become addicted to checking social media, which can lead to addiction-like behaviors in other areas.
According to e Addiction Center, a Web-based substance abuse resource, addiction to social media is driven by an uncontrollable urge to log on that impairs other important areas of life. Fear of miss-
Real Estate Public Auction
ing out (FOMO) is another threat to kids’ mental health.
Low self-esteem issues. Children and teenagers who compare themselves to others’ carefully curated online pro les (which usually are not telling the whole story) can develop feelings of inadequacy and body image issues.
Exposure to inappropriate content. Social media may introduce children to content and images that are not appropriate for their age levels and capacity to understand and interpret. According to Dr. Murthy’s report, deaths have been linked to suicide- and self-harm-related content, such as risk-taking challenges or asphyxiation content. Viewing this con-
tent normalizes these behaviors for some youngsters.
Although plenty of good can come from social media, parents are urged to exercise caution when giving children access to these platforms, which can a ect kids’ mental health in negative ways.

The Roving Sportsman… The Pennsylvania Spring Gobbler Youth Hunt
By Jon Pries
The one-day Youth Hunt for spring gobblers will be held this Saturday, April 26th. It is a day that many young hunters, as well as their adult mentors, have been looking forward to for months. It is held one week prior to the opening of the regular statewide spring gobbler season in order to give the new and young hunters a slight edge at success rather than wait until the “army” of spring hunters enters the woods. In preparation for the big day, there are several things that you should be aware of.
The limit is one bird, and it must be bearded, which means it could be a young Jake with a short beard, an old Tom with a long beard, or even a bearded hen is legal (please note, however, that bearded hens do nest and raise broods). The hunting hours begin one-half hour before sunrise
and end at noon. Hunters should be out of the woods by 1 p.m.
Only licensed junior hunters and properly permitted Mentored Youth may participate and must be accompanied by an adult as required by law (see the turkey regulations section (page 35) of the current Pennsylvania Hunting and Trapping Digest). Birds taken by Mentored Youth under age seven must be tagged with a harvest tag transferred to the Mentored Youth from his or her adult mentor. Remember that dogs may not be used during this season, and hunting should be done by calling only — stalking is not permitted.
Wearing fluorescent orange is not a requirement during this spring gobbler season. However, it is recommended that a hunter wear a fluorescent hat and/or vest while moving. Once in a stationary position or in a blind, it is advisable, but not a legal requirement, to display a banner of
uorescent orange within 15 feet of your location.
e use of a blind is highly recommended, depending on the age and activity level of the young hunter you are taking. We all know how dgety a young person can be, and the blind will hide any extra movement that a new or young hunter will be engaged in when they become restless. e blind will also mask any activity by the hunters as they talk quietly about the morning’s activities. While the day of the Youth Hunt is really only several hours long, you might consider allowing a youth to bring along a game that will occupy their time. Otherwise, you may be bombarded with questions and talking throughout most of the morning!
Depending on the age and physical makeup of the youth, you need to think about what shotgun would be appropriate for the occasion. Granddad’s old 12-gauge double-barreled shotgun will, no doubt, be too much
for a new hunter who has little experience in shooting a shotgun. A wise alternative might be a semi-automatic shotgun since much of the recoil is taken up by the operation of the action of the gun – thus, the “felt recoil” is much less. Another good option is to allow the young hunter to use a 20-gauge shotgun. is gun will operate just like a 12 gauge, with a lot less recoil. Here, too, a semi-auto will produce noticeably less recoil than a pump, single-barrel or double-barreled shotgun. e ammuni-
tion that is produced today for the 20 gauge that is used for turkey hunting is highly e ective, and you should not hesitate to consider this option, especially if the youth’s size and stature warrant it. Today’s TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) ammunition provides much better penetration and pellet density than older lead shot, thus making the 20 gauge and even the .410 gauge much more e ective than before.
We frequently recognize that introducing young hunters to our sport is critical for the long-term survival of
the outdoor activities that we have grown to cherish over the years. It is a great bonding experience and a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time together when you take advantage of this Youth Hunt for spring gobblers with an eager-tolearn youth. is day together can be a very important one in the process of passing on our hunting tradition. Remember to emphasize to a new or young hunter that they should always positively identify the target and the area around and beyond — safety is paramount. Good Luck!
Throughout my many years as a trout sherman, one thing I was always sure of was that the streams and lakes would almost certainly be crowded on the rst day of trout season in April.
Many of you know what I’m talking about on that opening day: trying to make a cast and then retrieve your lure or bait without someone else casting overtop of your line and messing everything up.
Actually, years ago, I gave up trout shing on that rst day because of the extreme crowding. What’s nice these days is there are a number of special regulation, catch and release areas where you can trout sh ahead of that opening day, so I get my share of trout shing in even before the regular season kicks o .
Obviously, I wasn’t out the rst day, but from what I’m hearing and reading, the opening day this year was anything but the usual crowding, at least on many streams and lakes, and probably for good reason; the weather was cold and rainy in many locations. Add to that, in some parts of the state, stream conditions were higher than normal, making wading and casting more dicult. Apparently, the action was also a bit slower, based on what I heard and read.
As always, however, Pennsylvania streams and lakes are well stocked ahead of the opening day of trout season with plenty of trout, and I’m pretty sure many of those trout are still there.
On the positive side of the slow start, it’s likely we will have more
fish in the streams than usual, and hopefully, the productive action will continue for a longer period of time.
Trout actually do better in the colder and higher water levels with temperatures in the 50s. However, as we move into mid to late summer, water levels drop, and temperatures rise, trout activity slows down, which can even be detrimental to trout.
I’m guessing that trout fishing will pick up over the next few weeks or so, and water conditions should remain pretty good.
The usual baits and lures will no doubt be effective; worms, salmon eggs, minnows, and anything that imitates those offerings, I’m sure, will offer some pretty good action. We fly fishing enthusiasts, of course, will be offering an assortment of artificially tied “flies” that imitate naturally occurring larvae, insects, and other creatures that thrive in and around the stream.
By the way, don’t think for one minute that using something
like artificial flies made from fur, hair, feathers, yarn, and other materials will deter your fish-catching ability — not so. I was a devoted salmon egg fisherman in my early years of fishing, and I caught plenty of fish with those eggs, but I have found that artificial tied flies that look like salmon eggs also produce extremely well.
The same can be said for streamer flies that are used to imitate fleeing minnows. What’s even more fun is when the insect hatches start to come off, and trout begin to take dry flies on the surface. When trout begin to turn onto surface floating dry flies, they will often neglect everything else, including minnows and other live bait, and the only thing that will bring a strike is that floating dry fly.
Well, the good thing is that whatever you choose to use, there is likely to be some decent fishing action in the weeks to come, and I hope to get back out there to find out.
Walking the Plank
Nostalgia — “a longing for something far away or long ago” — that’s the way Webster de nes it.
Pittsburgh Pirates fan — “someone who supports the team and is passionate about their team. ey may have a long history with the team or have become fans recently. Being a Pirates fan is o en seen as strong allegiance and loyalty to the team” — Google.
Impatient… “lacking patience, annoyed because of delay, opposition,
restlessly eager to do something” — current feelings of Pittsburgh Pirates fan base over 46 years old! However, there is one de nition the dyed-in-the-wool Bucco fan can not be labeled by: fair-weather fan, which describes a person who is supportive and enthusiastic about a sports team only when that team is performing well.
e ree Rivers City has had a Major League Baseball franchise since 1882. ey have not won a
Scott Lowery
World Series title since 1979, have not been to the playo s since 2015, and had their last winning season in 2018. At this writing, they occupy last place in the National League Central Division, and to describe the fans’ feelings as restless would be a huge understatement.
e Pirates are a historic franchise.
ere are the remembrances of the Battlin’ Bucs, the Lumber Company, We Are Family, and perhaps the most historic home run in MLB history — Bill Mazeroski’s 1960 ninth-inning World Series winning home run against the New York Yankees.
Over the last few years, the Pirates organization has kept fans engaged as best it can, but that may change.
On opening day, a plane circled PNC Park, encouraging one-billion-dollar team Owner Bob Nutting to “sell the team.” e same chat radiated throughout the stadium as the New York Yankees spoiled the party, in icting a 9-3 loss.
A recent story by Andrew Marshall has magni ed the Pirates’ ship taking on water.
“In recent days, Pirates fans have brought multiple issues to team management. ey included a sign memorializing their greatest player and a fan-favorite attraction at PNC Park.
“Before the 2025 season, PNC Park removed the famous Bucco Bricks, which sat inside the main terrace of the ballpark for 25 years. ey were bricks sold to the fans at the 1999 opening of PNC and were engraved with the names of fans who purchased them. Some fans used the bricks as a way to memorialize family members.
eir home — PNC Park — has o en best described as the best ballpark in Major League Baseball. eir futility on the eld provided them the number one pick in the dra in 2023, which they wisely used to select pitcher Paul Skenes, who, in his rst year, started the AllStar game and was named the 2024 Rookie of the Year.
“ ose same bricks were found at a recycling center outside of Pittsburgh, the bricks now sit in a pile, discarded
like forgotten garbage.
“Roberto Clemente, the best player in Pirates history and the first Hispanic player to win a World Series, has had a commemorative sign in right field since 2022. This season, the organization decided to remove the sign and replace it with an advertisement for the alcoholic beverage Surfside.”
Facing pressure from fans and the media, the Pirates have announced that both the bricks and the Clemente sign would return to PNC Park. What the fans would really like to see in a competitive team wearing their beloved Black & Gold. The team’s 2025 player payroll is $87,645,246, the 26th lowest among MLB teams. Only the White Sox, Rays, Athletics, and Marlins are shelling out fewer bucks.
Although the Pirates have suffered injuries to starting players, the night before this column was written, their starting lineup consisted of six players with batting averages below .200.
It’s been said that every cloud has a silver lining. Fortunately for the Bucs, that silver lining is fan-favorite Andrew McCutchen.
Following a three-game losing streak,
McCutchen may have discovered a good-luck charm for the team. Before the team snapped the losing streak, McCutchen handed out blackand-gold Phiten necklaces to all his teammates. The necklaces, made from titanium and marketed to boost performance, were once popular across MLB. While there has been no real evidence that the necklaces provide anything other than a placebo effect, the team responded with its best offensive effort of the season, beating the Washington Nationals 10-3.
In a postgame interview, McCutchen was asked about the necklaces.
“I don’t know, because I used to ball out with them back in the day, so might as well give them to the whole team. That’s what we did today. We put 10 runs up on the field. That’s not a coincidence. I told them to just put it on and see what happens, and they saw what happened, so we gonna keep rocking with it.”
The MLB baseball season is a 162game marathon, so a little levity is a good thing, both for the players and the fans. Thanks, Cutch — but I’ll bet those necklaces weren’t paid for out of Nutting’s wallet!

is is one of my favorite times of year to sh.
Once Warrior golf wraps up, I will get out as much as I can. Capturing a few photos and recording some footage is my new favorite thing.
My son introduced me to a new movie making APP. He helps me crop and post for some extra cash. I have since made a few introductory shing clips.
e Lycoming Creek Chronicles is once again trending. I plan to lose a lot of money with this project because I haven’t landed any major sponsors. My recent nymphing tutorial was uploaded on YouTube. Episode IX is currently in production.
Nymphs are tiny aquatic insects that are still in their busy underwater stages. It is said that over 90 percent of a

trout’s diet consists of the little critters. ese types of bugs are e ective on a year-round basis. Many prefer to use a dry y, but nymphing constantly produces.
e primary nymph that we most o en imitate is this bluewing olive. Despite their small size, trout focus on these insects because of their abundance. ey are everywhere. I have hundreds in my boxes, but I will normally throw just a few of my favorites. Peeping caddis.
Again, I am simply a bug-chucking novice. I have only been at this since COVID. I still have a long way to go, but I am starting to understand it. My basic nymph setup consists of a 9-foot leader, and I add another 12 to 18 inches of tippet. At the very end, I tie my nymph. Some folks will add another section to the bend of the hook, but I normally stick with one bug. I get tangled. A split shot is added when needed. I usually use a small weight a few inches above. e last step in a
basic nymph rig is to nd that lucky strike indicator. Some will high stick or Euro. I prefer to keep it simple. e amount of weight I use will vary. A lot depends on the speed and depth of the water. e key here is to use enough weight to have your nymph bouncing along the bottom. Trout are getting used to their elements. My placement of the strike indicator also depends, but as a general rule of thumb, it should be at one and a half times the depth. Always be sure that your presentation moves with the ow of the current. Your nymph should dri naturally.
Pay close attention to your surroundings. e water is owing, and some sh will spook easily. Patience is so important. row a few casts upstream to practice. ink slow. Watch that indicator and focus on what happens. You should be able to tell the difference between a strike and brushing the bottom.
When you see a sudden twitch or pause, simply raise your rod. Again. ere is no need to set the hook like Jimmy Houston. is obviously takes time to master. It only requires a slight tug. Don’t get too excited, and stay fo-
cused. is is much easier said than done. It will get better. Trust me.
e Delayed Harvest section near Powy’s Curve on Lycoming Creek is my personal favorite. I sh this stretch all year long, and it provides some exceptional opportunities. I know this stretch of water quite well.
Fishing is my zen. Finding the right combination takes time. Catching sh in the backyard is a blast, especially all alone with a y rod.
Give nymphing a try, kids. You will be rewarded. Cheers.
