The smiles on the faces of the Loyalsock Lady Lancers as they take a bite out of the gold medal says it all. What an unbelievable moment to be remembered, shared, and talked about by the Lady Lancer family, all the families that support each person within this photo, and the Lancer Nation forever. ank you to Albright Studios for capturing the moment and allowing us to share it on our cover.
When Coach Curtis Jacobson’s squad defeated Imhotep Charter in the state semi nal, I had a feeling the script had already been written for the state championship game in Hershey. is was a déjà vu moment back to when the boys made their run for Coach Insinger a few seasons back. It just felt like the Lady Lancers were destined a er slaying a giant before getting to the Giant Center. All the hard work the girls had put in was nally going to end by winning that last game of the season.
my good friend Paul Bo. And wow, PCN did a great job with their coverage of the PIAA 3A girls’ hoop championship like they always do. ey have been phenomenal over the years, presenting our local teams in all sports.
What I got to watch that evening was even better than I expected. From a basketball standpoint, it was an old-school approach brought to life by a great coaching sta and executed by a group of teenage young ladies that would make John Wooden smile. I should probably say Pat Summitt, who was the rst women’s coach inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
It was everything that I complain is missing from basketball presently and the way it is now played. If you need an example, just turn on any NBA game; there is very little done fundamentally correctly, and playing defense has become mostly optional.
opportunities was excellent. Coach Jacobson and his sta pressuring Shady Side by changing defenses at key times was clutch. e game was also won by the understanding and execution of o ense, which is easy to say, but much of basketball has forgotten. ey took care of the basketball and, most importantly, got the ball into the low post for easy shot opportunities.
In an interview a er the game, Coach Jacobson said that Alaina Dadzie deserves to be 3A State player of the year. Her hard work and e ort were obvious. She was dominant in the second half. As was her teammates’ ability to pass her the ball in the right position and let Alaina dazzle with quick hands, feet, and mind.
her high school career. ere are so many stories and compliments I have for everyone smiling on the cover. I wish I had the space to cover it all, but I think the picture is worth a thousand words.
I want to nish my old-school thoughts with a compliment to the girls for adding the basketball avor of today in the right manner. e girls played with a love and passion for the game and each other that is o en talked about but was on display. Everything I have mentioned about requires hard work and e ort, not for a season but since the time they were old enough to lace up their sneakers. e world we live in o en promotes sel sh attitudes; the older athletes become, the harder it becomes to keep team chemistry. ese girls exempli ed unsel shness while traveling this amazing journey together.
As I settled in my front row recliner to watch the title bout versus Shady Side Academy, I thought, I can see this game a lot better than the boys’ championship when I was up in the ra ers watching with

Spring Into Shape — I Guess
Let’s start with a HUGE congratulations to the Loyalsock Lady Lancer basketball team! Jamie has all the details beginning on page 6, but I can’t let the moment pass without saying — Amazing Job, Ladies!!
Now — about that title…
Spring is upon us, which means it’s time to peel o the winter layers, unearth the sneakers buried under a pile of unmatched socks, and pretend — just for a moment — that we might become “ tness people.”
Nothing says spring like attempting a plank in the backyard while a bunny silently judges your form.
Step 1: Find Your Motivation (or Bribe Yourself)
Getting started is the hardest part. Sometimes, it helps to trick yourself. Tell your brain you’re just going out for a “light walk,” then suddenly you’re halfway around the Riverwalk and sweating through your hoodie like it’s July.
Other motivational tools include:
– Buying cute workout gear from downtown shops you now feel obligated to use.
– Telling people on Facebook you’re “training” (for what? Who knows).
– Place your snacks on a high shelf and call it strength training.
Step 2: e Overambitious
First Day
Spring weather is perfect for a jog, so lace up those sneakers and hit the pavement.
Plan a modest 5-mile run because how hard could it be? irty seconds in, you’re wheezing like a vacuum cleaner on its last legs. A squirrel passes you. A toddler on a tricycle laps you. By minute two, you’re bargaining with the universe: “If I survive this, I’ll never eat a donut again.” Spoiler: You’ll eat three donuts later to celebrate surviving. Collapse on the grass, call it “nature yoga,” and post about your “epic workout” online. You’re a tness in uencer now.
Step 3: e Salad Lie
Everyone knows getting in shape means eating healthy, so commit to a spring salad regimen—head to the Farmers’ Market to buy kale, spinach, and maybe a rogue beet. Spend 20 minutes chopping veggies, only to realize you’ve made enough salad to feed a small village. Take one bite, gag at the taste of “earthy sadness,” and immediately order Park or Bart’s Pizza to reward your e ort.
Step 4: e Group Fitness Fiasco
Sign up for a spring boot camp class because misery loves company. Show up late, trip over a kettlebell, and accidentally call the instructor “Drill Sergeant Sexy” to their face. Spend the next hour doing burpees while questioning every life choice that led you here. By the end, you’re sweaty, sore, and pretty sure you le your dignity somewhere between the
lunges and the plank that lasted 12 years.
Or hey — just take the dog for a walk, chase your kids around Brandon Park, or spend the day doing “yard work” (aka, angrily pulling weeds and counting it as cardio).
Step 5: e Inevitable Backslide
By week two, the spring vibes are fading, and so is your resolve. You “forget” to set your alarm for that sunrise run. Your tness tracker dies, and you don’t bother charging it because “it’s probably tired, too.” One rainy day, you declare it “cheat day,” which turns into “cheat week,” suddenly, you’re back to eating mac and cheese straight from the pot while binge-watching reality TV. Spring shape?
More like spring ~shipwreck~.
Step 6: e Redemption Arc
When you think all hope is lost, a warm April breeze inspires you to try again. Dust o those sneakers, eat half a salad (progress!) and take a leisurely walk to admire the blooming owers. Realize that “getting in shape” doesn’t mean running a marathon — it’s about feeling good enough to chase the ice cream truck without pulling a hammy. Laugh at your earlier meltdowns, pat yourself on the back, and enjoy the season. You’re not shredded, but you’re spring-ready, and that’s what counts. Here’s the truth: nobody’s keeping score. If you’re lacing up your sneakers, stretching in your living room, or parking a little farther from the entrance at Aldi and calling it “intentional movement”—you’re on your way. So go ahead, get out there, and move however you can this spring.

The Township is still buzzing. e Loyalsock Lady Lancer hoops squad just made history. ey became the rst girls’ team from Lycoming County to ever win a state championship. Loyalsock defeated Shady Side Academy 55-43. ey nished the year with a record of 30-2. It was an incredible season — one for the ages.
“It still hasn’t set in yet,” senior Julie Ellis explained. “I mean, I thought we would have practice Monday. Words can’t describe the emotions we are
feeling. It was the best way to end our season. My career. We are just so happy.”
“It was unreal,” junior Jillian Kennedy mentioned. “Everyone did what they were supposed to do. We had a great game plan, and we executed. It was so cool to win in front of our families and fans.”
Four charter buses full of Loyalsock students made the trip to Hershey. Hundreds of others were there, too. It was quite the scene. Fans were everywhere, decked out in mostly white and
maroon. e atmosphere was stupendous. e Lancers were on point and played their best games of the season that evening. Goosebumps.
“No. It hasn’t sunk in,” junior Addie Bastian said. “Our fans are the best. e support we received was truly amazing. Especially during the playo s. e entire school was in the stands for our state championship. ey helped us win. I also enjoyed the parades and send-o s. Being able to talk to the elementary kids before the games was really cool.”
“Seeing our families and friends in the crowd made a huge di erence,” senior Lacey Kriebel relayed. “ ey had our backs all season. e student section was loud and super fun. ey made an impact. It felt like a home game. We are still getting so much love. It was a memorable ride.”
fense. But it wasn’t just these two stars. Every player and coach contributed. It was a total team effort. Again. Unprecedented.
e Lancers were nipped in the Final Four last season. It was a heartbreaking loss that provided the motivation. Coach Curtis Jacobson and his sta are the best in the business. And these ladies found a way back for another big-time opportunity. But it wasn’t easy.
“It was our goal,” Kennedy continued. “We came so close last year. We remembered those emotions and wanted to go even further in 2025. We worked so hard. But we had to deal with the injuries, illnesses, and some tough opponents just to get here. We stayed focused.”
Loyalsock is the state’s best AAA girls’ team. Not bad for a small public school in North Central Pennsylvania. Lacey Kriebel was sensational. e senior guard posted a double-double in the nal. She led all scorers with 23 points and 11 rebounds on the biggest stage. Junior Alaina Dadzie was fantastic. e versatile post nished with 21 points and played some great de-
“Losing last year in the nal four was just brutal,” Kriebel added. “ e way we lost. Heartbreaking. It provided the extra motivation. It was in the back of our minds the entire season. Every early AM practice in the summer. To the extra work we did a er hours. We wanted another shot.” Curtis Jacobson just wrapped up his 9th season. What he has accom-

plished as a coach is truly amazing. Curtis is tough, and his teams continue to win. You don’t understand how hard it is to make it to Hershey, let alone win a state championship. e commitment. e drive. e time.
And the luck. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Incredible really. His teams always play hard. ey go full throttle. Tough and scrappy. ey play terri c team defense. Having some gals like Kriebel and Dadzie always helps, but the entire squad embraces their roles and understands his concepts. It’s a culture. e girls are all in. He and his sta provide the framework. Major props to his wife Kerri, Je Everett, Jason Perry, Jake Sekel, and trainer Barb. Well done.
“We have an amazing sta ,” Bastian tweeted. “ ey give us the tools and give us 100% con dence. No matter what your position or role is. ey make everyone feel so important.”
“We have the best coaches,” Ellis concluded. “ ey are all so di erent. A lot of our successes come directly from our coaches. ey work so hard in our preparations. Breaking down lm to knowing the other team’s
plays or tendencies. ey gave us a plan, and it was our job to execute it. We worked so hard this year. And watching it all come together makes it so special.”
Special indeed. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Trust me. e Loyalsock Lady Lancers are your 2025 AAA State Champions. e very rst girls’ hoops team from Lycoming County to wear the gold tiara. ese gals made their school and community so dang happy. Unbelievable. Most of you know that I am a basketball junkie. And I have so many personal connections to this team. Coach Jacobson played for me 15 years ago. I know his sta so well. I am so proud of my friends for bringing home the gold. I am also somewhat close to the four gals I interviewed for this project. Great kids. Better families. Everyone is related. Go Sock! I told each to embrace these special memories. You will never forget what you just accomplished. ey are rock stars. And now they will take photos with politicians. Congratulations. You just made history. #shoesaretied. Cheers.

English is our Nation’s Official Language
By Larry Stout
For a person such as myself who tries to follow what is happening in the Oval O ce, the Trump Administration is very hard to keep up with. However, I can nally highlight an executive order that I think is at least a century or more overdue — the establishment of English as the o cial language of the United States of America. President Trump’s Executive Order on March 1st designated English as our country’s ofcial language and rescinded a mandate by President Clinton that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide extensive language assistance to non-English speakers.
Of course, several people in our country speak other languages, especially Spanish. Still, it took this long to acknowledge such a practical truth — English IS our nation’s language! A er the United States’ presence on almost every continent in World War II, it eventually became the world’s language as well. For every one person who uses English as their rst language, there are four more who use it as a second language, making it the most widely spoken second
more powerful world power, so likewise did our language.
Having personally traveled over half a million miles around the world in the past three or four decades, I have always found people who converse in English.
I was especially surprised when I rst went to the USSR in 1988 and found young men who learned English words from British and American rock music. is phenomenon was so prevalent that the Hollywood lm, “Red Hot,” directed by Paul Haggis and featuring Donald Sutherland and Balthazar Getty, was shot in Riga, Latvia, in 1992.

Spring Savings
the story of teenagers in the USSR who had parties with smuggled American rock music, which they got from seamen on merchant ships. e story was set in 1959, and the takeaway from it was that even then, Hollywood and pop culture in the USA had a global reach, including the Iron Curtain.
But I also found that virtually everywhere in the world, English has also been used for business and trade, nancial markets, education, and scienti c research; the list goes on and on. I found this to be true many times. I was sharing a compartment with a Finnish salesman when I was on a train from Helsinki, Finland to St. Petersburg, Russia. We were both reading books, and he noticed mine was in English. He asked in Finnish if I was an American, and though I knew very little of that language, I could tell because he was pointing to the book. I nodded my head while saying “kylla” (‘cool-la’ meaning “yes”) in Finnish. He then shi ed to my language, using a very broken accent and vocabulary, “You should drop to your knees every night and thank God that your rst language was English.” at salesman recognized that virtually everywhere if a person were somewhat high on the leadership pole
there, they would need to communicate in English at least to some degree. roughout the world, the internationally agreed-upon language for pilots and air tra c controllers in aviation is English. Even the “linga franca” of French, which was the dominant language of diplomacy, surrendered to the English language shortly a er World War II.
But, I think another very big reason English is so prevalent worldwide is because it is relatively easy to learn. It starts with having a Latin alphabet, which is much easier to read than Russian Cyrillic or Chinese Mandarin alphabets and has relatively simple grammar. On the other hand, English is easy to learn initially, but it takes a lifetime to perfect. For example, words like “there,” “their,” and “they’re” sound the same but meaning is entirely di cult. How did the word “few” come to mean a small number, but “quite a few” means many? Ever wonder why we “dust the furniture” when we are actually ‘undusting’ it? Or “weeding the garden,” which sounds like we are putting weeds into the garden?
But, hey, forget all that. Now that English is nally our national language, we can say it loud and say it strong, “English

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar, and his word is not in us. I John 1:8-10 erefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. James 5:16
In response to awakening and convicting grace, confession is the rst
grace-empowered step a dead person can take on the road to life. It is the only step we can take because it is the only step o ered. Life begins with confession. Confession puts an end to our running, hiding, xing, and blame-shi ing.
Confession is a statement in which we admit we are guilty of an o ense. Confession has three distinct components: First, as I stand before a holy God, I must own my failure.
Confession to God does not muddy the water with excuses. It simply states the
facts: I ate. I hit. I looked. I took. I killed. I hid. I denied. I betrayed. It was me. I’m guilty.
Confession admits that every o ense is, rst and foremost, a direct o ense against God. King David certainly sinned against Bathsheba and Uriah and Israel and himself. But when he confessed, David began by acknowledging his transgression against God:
For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight. Psalm 51:3-4
Second, as I stand before myself, I must own the consequences of my failure.
Adam chose to eat the fruit, David chose to send for Bathsheba, Moses hit the rock, Judas accepted the thirty pieces of silver, Peter denied knowing Jesus, and Achan kept the plunder. ey were all guilty — and they owned it. What about me?
What bad choices have I made? What consequences have I su ered due to those bad choices? Whatever they are, they are mine. I own them. Blaming others is of no help. I must be willing to confess the damage I have done to myself so I can forgive myself and break the bondage of shame and regret. ird, as I stand before others, I must own the fallout of my failure. Others were negatively a ected by my bad choices. My confession must also be to them. ey have every right to hear it. I cannot x what I have done to them, but through confession, I can release them from the burden of proving my guilt. Confession sets the record straight.
Today
ere is a limited window of opportunity for confession. God’s awakening and convicting grace does not linger forever. For this reason, the Scriptures encourage us to act on God’s grace while it is still Today: See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

Hebrews 3:12-13
While Adam acknowledged that he ate the forbidden fruit, he never confessed his failure. Instead, he blamed God and Eve. How would our story be di erent if Adam had fully owned his sin? We’ll never know.
Achan’s confession was too late to save himself and his family. He had earlier opportunities to confess, but he didn’t take them. He thought no one knew. He weighed his options, considered the risks, and chose to keep hiding. It was only a er God fully exposed him that he confessed. It was too late.
done what is evil in your sight, so you are right in your verdict and justi ed when you judge. Surely, I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Psalm 51:1-5
David also waited until his sin was fully exposed. He, too, had earlier opportunities to confess, but he didn’t take them. He kept making bad choices. His confession was too late to save Uriah and David’s own infant son, but thankfully, he nally came clean. David wrote a full confession for all the world to see: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion, blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and
Are you still running from unconfessed sin? Are you hiding, xing, and blame-shi ing? God’s grace is available to you today. You have no guarantee of tomorrow, but you have this precious moment. God’s awakening and convicting grace are working in you right now. You are weighing your options and considering the risks. Will you continue to run? Or will you nally choose to confess and be at rest? e decision is yours to make. I pray you will make it today. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:8-9 “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Joel 2:12-13

Andrea’s Home Cookin…
Melanoma Dishes
unny story hot o the ole press!
FMy momma and I went shopping together and had lunch about three Fridays ago. It was so nice. We haven’t gotten to do this in some time. We went to a few of our favorite stops, like Sam’s Club and Wengerd’s, and then had lunch at our favorite lunch spot, Maseto’s.
Andrea McElroy
ticed they had so many nice dishes at 40% o . I told my momma that on our shopping day, we should stop into Hobby Lobby and check out these dishes for her. at Friday, we put Hobby Lobby on our list, and when we got there, I was all excited to show her these dishes. I picked them up and showed them to her like I was Vanna White.
“What’s nice about these is that they are melanoma, so they don’t chip! My spring dishes are melanoma,” I said. Momma kept looking around at the di erent ones. I picked up another set that had strawberries on them. ey’re super cute, by the way, but I already have way too many dishes — a set for every season.
If you have never been to Maseto’s in Old Lycoming, you need to go. Some of the best sandwiches and salads in Williamsport! I’m there practically every Friday getting my usual chicken cheesesteak salad for lunch. I also love their “Variation” sandwich and Turkey Plain and Simple with their tort or broccoli salad. Delicious food and a bunch of great girls and guys who work there. De nitely check it out sometime!
My momma has been wanting new dishes, and when Kenz and I went to Hobby Lobby a few weeks prior, I no-
I had to control myself, but I did end up buying four new cereal/soup bowls.
I just couldn’t resist, and they matched my spring dishes!! PLUSsssss, they were 40% o , OK? How could I NOT get them? *enter cheesy smile right here*
“Momma, look at these! ey have strawberries on them and look like a paper plate, but it’s melanoma!” As I said, tapping on the “melanoma” with my ngernail.
Now, let me just say that this is probably my fourth- or h-time saying melanoma.
My momma looks at me, smiles, and says ever so sweetly, “Honey, melanoma is a skin cancer. You mean melamine.
You don’t want dishes with a skin disease; that just wouldn’t be good.”
We both just started cracking up and snickering like schoolgirls. I can’t believe I kept calling it melanoma for literally years. I am just all kinds of special folks if you haven’t caught onto that yet. Hahahaha!
new pretty dishes, but not melanoma — glass ones. Probably a good thing. at “melanoma” can be pretty tricky!

UPMC Orthopaedic Surgeon: How to Get Moving Safely
John M. Kunkel, D.O. UPMC Orthopaedic Care
Aer months of cold weather, many people are eager to get outside and be active again. Whether it’s walking, running, biking, or playing sports, spring is the perfect time to shake o winter stiness. But jumping back into activity too quickly can lead to injuries, especially for those who have been less active in the colder months.
Ease Into Exercise
It’s tempting to pick up right where you le o last fall, but your body needs time to adjust. Start with lower intensity activities and gradually increase your conditioning with things like walking or cycling before progressing to higher-intensity workouts. Warming up before activity and cooling down a erward with gentle stretching can help prevent injuries and improve recovery. If you haven’t been active in a while, consider starting with 10-15 minutes of
8th grade.

movement and gradually increasing your duration and intensity. Long-term consistency results in the best tness results and the best way to achieve this is to avoid serious injury.
Protect Your Joints and Muscles
Strengthening the muscles around your joints can help reduce stress on them. Exercises like squats, lunges, and core work improve stability and reduce injury risk. Pay attention to how your body feels — mild soreness is normal, but sharp or persistent pain could signal a problem that needs attention. If your shoes are worn out, it may be time for a new pair with good support. Appropriate footwear can also help reduce injury risk. Hydration, Nutrition, and Rest
As temperatures rise, staying hydrated is essential. Drink water before, during, and a er activity to prevent dehydration and muscle cramps. Nutrition plays a role in recovery as well. Eating a balanced diet with protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates can help fuel your workouts. It’s also important to remember that your nutrition plays a larger role in weight management than exercise. Trying to “outwork” a poor diet can lead to injuries as you try to push your body more than it is prepared for. Ease back into exercise and don’t forget to take rest days to allow your muscles and
joints to recover, reducing the risk of overuse injuries.
Injury Prevention and Recovery
Overuse injuries, such as tendonitis or stress fractures, are common when people ramp up their activity too quickly. Listen to your body, and don’t push through pain. If you experience swelling, sti ness, or lingering discomfort, take a break and use the R.I.C.E. method (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) to manage symptoms. If pain persists for more than a few days or interferes with daily activities, seeking Orthopaedic consultation can help get you back on track safely and quickly.
Spring is a great time to enjoy the outdoors and get moving again. By easing back into exercise, protecting your body, staying hydrated and being mindful of your nutrition and recovery, you can make the most of the season while keeping injuries at bay. If pain or discomfort persists, do not hesitate to reach out to your UPMC Orthopaedic Care provider to help get you back on track.
John Kunkel, D.O., is a sports medicine orthopaedic surgeon with UPMC Orthopaedic Care and sees patients at 1705 Warren Ave., Williamsport, and 9 Water St., Wellsboro.

“Pseudoscience: An Amusing History of Crackpot Ideas and Why We Love em” by LydiaKang, MD and Nate Pedersen c.2025, Workman
$25.00
310 pages
Have you heard about….?
Of course you have. It’s been all over social media for months and if you didn’t see it there, someone in your family said something about it or a friend did and you still think it’s untrue. It’s hard to ght nonsense, you
know — although admittedly, it’s fun to read those fake “science” reports. So get the new book “Pseudoscience” by Lydia Kang, MD and Nate Pedersen, go ahead, and indulge. “It’s OK to reserve judgment until the evidence is in.”
When he was asked for his “gut feeling” on subjects that are unknown, the great Carl Sagan usually answered with some version of those words. And, say Kang and Pedersen, “he’s right.” Waiting for correct, valid con rmation of facts is much better than overreacting and sharing wrong information. Waiting, say the authors, is the best thing to do, even though “staking a claim”
on information can make you “feel pretty good.”
Take, for instance, the idea that the Earth is at. If you disagree with that, well, you’re not alone: most at-Earthers disagree with one another on various details. Either way you go, the authors invite you to built a rocket ship and check for yourself.
Hey, it’s happened.
Spontaneous Human Combustion has a perfectly valid explanation. ere’s some medical truth in certain kinds of body divination, but most of it’s hooey. Bumps on someone’s skull are good indications of (are you ready for this?)… bumps on their skull. Seeing ghosts may have basis in medicine. Your birth month really has little to do with your personality. Cryptids “have been reportedly seen but never with de nitive proof.” e jury’s still out on cryogenics but future successes are absolutely not guaranteed. Chickens can’t tell the future, and neither can their entrails. And you can pretend to levitate but actually doing it? Nope.
So, here’s the thing about “Pseudoscience”: it’s not going to change any minds. No matter how many times you show someone what’s inside this book, it very likely won’t make one bit of di erence in anyone’s logic, either way.
e appeal, instead, probably lies with someone who believes the truth and enjoys thinking about these “crackpot ideas” anyhow because, paraphrasing Sagan, judgment can be withheld and it’s OK. It’s
as of 1/13/2025, subject
even fun to read about that which authors Kang and Pedersen put to rest, once and for (maybe) all, and to think about the “but”s. e other good news is that there are a lot of paranormal, weird, odd, unexplained events that have happened around the world and throughout time that are not in “Pseudoscience.” at just means that there’s plenty of room for enjoying other wild stories and ideas, still plenty of what-i ng, and giving your imagination a workout.
Keep in mind that “Pseudoscience” is not just for skeptics; it’s full of answering chapters for doubters, but also for anyone who collects and loves conspiracy theories, and for your favorite smarty-pants. If you’re curious with a streak of open-mindedness, open the covers and pick one to read about.
Children’s birthday parties have evolved from a generation or two ago. Modern parties are bigger, more elaborate and often more expensive undertakings than they used to be. Parents now spend, on average, $314 for a child’s birthday party, according to a survey conducted by the parenting site What to Expect. Party expectations may be driven by social media, with parents
feeling compelled to “keep up” with peers who throw elaborate parties.
Before families bust budgets establishing over-the-top kids’ birthday bashes, these tips can help shed light on which elements may be needed to have a successful party for the birthday boy or girl — helping to save money in the process.
Pick a theme. Children’s parties typically revolve around a central theme. Asking the child what he or she wants in a party is the best way to identify a theme. One kid may want a party that celebrates a
popular television show or movie character, while another may be happy with something broader like puppies and kittens.
Coordinate the elements. Once a theme is established, some parents run out and get all of the branded items they can nd, from cake plates to napkins to invitations. Instead, choose one branded element and then just mirror the color and style of that theme elsewhere. For example, for a Bluey party, parents can pick Bluey-branded cake plates, but then serve other foods on solid-colored plates in various shades of light blue, tan and orange to match Bandit, Chilli, Uncle Stripe, and Aunt Trixie.
Arrange for entertainment. Plan to have one or two games that are age-appropriate just in case the children start to get antsy. But keep in mind that kids are adept at nding their own entertainment; just ensure they are safe. Consider board games or active games like kickball in the yard. Bounce house businesses cater to kids’ parties and these can be a worthy investment. Kids also may be happy to visit a favorite local ice cream shop or run around a nearby park.
Limit the guest list. It’s tempting to invite an entire class or a sports or dance team to the party. But having too many children can make the party more expensive and sometimes unruly. A good rule of thumb
is to limit the guest list to “age plus one.” at means if the child is turning eight, nine friends are invited (siblings and cousins are not counted in the number). Keep it relatively short. is is a children’s party and not a wedding. e event doesn’t have to last three or four hours. Kids generally have short attention spans, so a party that is an hour and a half to two hours in length is enough time for everyone to have a good time.
Keep the menu simple. Planning the party for between meal times means children won’t be overly hungry and snacks will su ce. Serve a mix of healthy options like fruit and party staples like chips. Children can be messy, so avoid anything that can melt or get sticky, like chocolate or candy. Cupcakes always are easier than slicing cake. But donut holes or cookies also may be options. ese components can add up to a fun children’s birthday party.
Pregnancy Resource Clinic Opening Soon in Lock Haven
According to a September 2024 report published by the March of Dimes, over 35% of counties in the United States are maternity care deserts, which means that there is little or no maternal care o ered.

Each family member participating in PRC’s parenting programs can earn points to shop in their baby boutique, which provides new and gently used clothing for children from birth to two years old.
“In 2010, while I was speaking at a Lock Haven church, a friend of mine approached me and asked me if PRC would ever open a clinic in Lock Haven,” said Summers. “I approached the board about the possibility, but we were not nancially able to move in that direction. Five years later, I approached my fellow board members again, and they gave me their blessing to move forward. I began by meeting with a group of pastors to see if they felt a pregnancy center was needed in Clinton County and what PRC could o er by opening a second site with their support. ey unanimously agreed to support Pregnancy Resource Clinic’s mission and vision
to open a site in Lock Haven.”
Since 2018, PRC engaged with the community through public informational gatherings to share the mission and vision by holding fundraisers, speaking among civic groups (i.e., Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Daughters), applying for grants through the Clinton County Community Foundation, and participating in health fairs. In addition, the center has o ered open houses and tours invited businesses to take part in underwriting events, and eventually partnered with local businesses to fund and renovate their new building in Lock Haven.
“A er nearly six years of searching for the best property that met our needs to serve both area residents and Commonwealth University students, we believe the Lord provided us the perfect property to meet the needs of our friends and neighbors in Clinton County,” said Summers. “A generous donor family approached me in 2023 and o ered to gi us the funds to purchase the building we were renting to alleviate the mission from having to pay rent in years to come. is nancial gi to buy the property also enabled PRC to invest in much-needed upgrades and renovations, making the new building a comfortable, e cient space that provides crucial services to the community.”
While opening its second site in Lock Haven, PRC will continue to provide services in State College, located in its two adjacent ofce buildings located on Pugh Street. Operations at both sites are made possible due to the generosity of over 1,622 regular donors, 64 churches, and 80 businesses that support PRC through nancial and volunteer support. As a Private Provider of the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Health, PRC has saved our community over $1,120,000 in Direct and Indirect Medical Costs by providing STD testing, treatment, and education. Since all services are community-funded and free of charge to every client, supporting PRC is a win-win for the community.
e Lock Haven PRC will be managed by Jen Redmon, who will oversee the Lock Haven site’s day-to-day operations and will begin serving patients on April 14, 2025. When asked if there was anyone who deserved recognition for helping to make the Lock Haven PRC a reality, Summers responded, “I would like to give a special thanks to our donors, churches, and businesses who nancially support and prayerfully encourage us in this good work. Also, our volunteers are remarkable people who are a joy to work alongside daily, enabling us to provide excellent patient service.”
PRC is an a liate and member of Care Net, the National Institute for Life Advocates (NIFLA), and the Pennsylvania Pregnancy Wellness Collaborative (PPWC). All three organizations provide best practices, encouragement in our work, and accountability to ensure we provide excellent services to our patients.
e Lock Haven Pregnancy Resource Clinic grand opening will be held April 11th from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at 53 West Main St. Lock Haven. For more information about the PRC, feel free to nd them on Instagram and Facebook or go to their website, www.scprc.com.
By Joseph W. Smith III
Last week, Webb’s Weird Words attempted an April Fools’ column consisting entirely of made-up words.
No idea how many readers fell for that — but my spurious list included one whimsical monetary unit: the ctitious praq, supposedly used in the fake former Soviet republic, “Ziurtzybad.”
Now if you swallowed that one, don’t feel bad; “praq” is not much weirder than some of the coinage and paper-money used
around the world.
So in honor of next week’s Tax Day, here’s a collection of terms from global currency.
I’ll begin by explaining that “currency” can refer to both coins and paper, coming as it does from the common Latin base cur(s); this means “to run or ow” — in the case of cash, owing between people speci cally. e base has given us dozens of words like car, occur, course, corridor, charge, cursor and even, perhaps, carpenter.
Speaking of coins: Our smallest unit is technically not called a “penny” but a
“cent.” Derived from the Latin for “hundred,” the cent is used in more than 40 of the world’s 195 countries. Under President Trump’s current plan (pun intended), America may follow Canada’s lead by eliminating its one-cent piece altogether.
( e issue: It costs more than a cent to make one; so in 2024, the U.S. Mint lost $85 million manufacturing pennies. According to NPR, along with Trump, “Democrats have tried and failed for decades to get rid of America’s one-cent coin” — though this move would likely cause untold headaches when it rst takes e ect.)
Most world currency falls into larger units like the dollar (found in roughly 30 countries), which are in turn split into smaller parts, usually amounting to 100. For example, in Poland, 100 groszy equals one zloty — while in Tonga, 100 seniti adds up to a single pa’anga; and in Mongolia, a tugrik comprises 100 mongo. (To save time and space in this very “listy” column, I won’t provide pronunciation; that can be found at most good dictionary websites — if you’re brave enough!)
A few other global divisions: Albania: one lek = 100 qindarka. Angola: one kwanza = 100 lwei. Botswana: one pula = 100 thebe. Bulgaria: one lev = 100 stotinki. Finland: one markka = 100 pennis (careful with that extra “N”!). Gambia: one dalasi = 100 bututs. Kyrgyzstan: one som = 100 tyiyn. (Uzbekistan uses the similar tyyn.)
In Laos: one kip = 100 at. Latvia: one lats = 100 santimi. Malawi: one kwacha = 100 tamba-
la. Maldives: one ru yaa = 100 laari. Mauritania: one ouguiya = ve khoums. Myanmar: one kyat = 100 pyas. Nigeria: one naira = 100 kobo. ailand: one baht = 100 satang. Ukraine: one hryvnia = 100 kopiykas. Vietnam: one dong = 10 hao. (In a family publication, I’m not touching that last one!)
Other larger units: birr (Ethiopia); gourde (Haiti); guarani (Paraguay); krona (Iceland; subdivision--eyrir); kroon (Estonia); lilangeni (Swaziland); loti (Lesotho); nakfa (Eritrea); ngultrum (Bhutan); quetzal (Guatemala; it shares the name of that country’s most famous bird — and one of the world’s loveliest); ringgit (Malaysia). Some smaller divisions: Armenia’s luma; Austria’s groschen; China’s jiao; Egypt and Jordan’s piaster (had to include this, as it’s used in the lyrics for Steely Dan’s “Dr. Wu,” from the album Katy Lied — currently enjoying its 50th anniversary); Georgia’s tetri; Ghana’s pesewa; Papua New Guinea’s toea; Saudi Arabia’s halala; and Tunisia’s millime And nally: e little-known Vanuatu, an island nation in the South Paci c, has only the vatu, which is thus both its largest and smallest unit — no subdivisions. is column owes a huge debt to a sprawling “currency table” in the peerless fourth edition of the American Heritage Dictionary — an eight-pound beauty I picked up at the most recent James V. Brown usedbook sale. eir next such bonanza is coming up on April 24-26. But … get those taxes done rst!
10am April 9, 10, & 11 at each STEP Center for Healthy Aging
YYouth Sports Participation
outh sports are wildly popular. According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, approximately 61 percent of children between the ages of six and 17 participated in a total team sport at least once per week in 2023.
Participation in sports can pay a number of dividends for children. Youngsters who play sports are physically active, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has noted can lower risk for disease and decrease the likelihood children are
overweight or obese. Sports participation also encourages social interaction, which can help children develop their interpersonal skills and provide opportunities to build lifelong friendships.
With so much to gain from participating in sports, it’s no wonder that parents o en encourage their children to get involved in local athletic leagues. But it’s important that parents recognize how easy it can be to overdo it when it comes to youth sports.
Some youth sports leagues now o er travel teams for children as young as six, and
guideline, an eightyear-old should not be spending more than eight hours per week practicing and playing a sport.
such leagues may require kids and their parents to commit several days per week to practice and games. at might be too much for some young athletes, and the following are some strategies parents can employ to ensure their kids are not overdoing it when it comes to sports participation. Delay starting children in organized sports. e American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting until children are fully ready before starting them in organized sports. at time may be different for all kids, even siblings. But the AAP recommends parents wait to enroll children in organized sports until around age six. Free play, which is not governed by rules the ways organized sports are, can be just as e ective as team sports at helping children develop their muscles, bones and balance.
Avoid focusing on a single sport. Sports specialization is a term now used to described intensive training or competition in a single organized sport for more than eight months per year by children who are 12 years old and younger. e AAP advises against sports specialization. According to the sports medicine experts at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, children who specialize in playing one sport early on have an increased risk of overuse injuries, which can develop due to intensive training. Such youngsters also are more likely to experience burnout and stress from playing the sport. Mixing up sports throughout the year reduces the risk for burnout and overuse injuries, as children likely won’t grow bored and will be exercising in unique ways for each sport they play.
Take time o . Time o is another way to avoid overdoing it with young athletes. e AAP advises young athletes to take at least two to three months o from organized sports participation each year. Time o can be divided into one-month increments.
Allow youngsters’ ages to guide training time. e AAP suggests a good rule of thumb is that kids should not train more hours each week than their age. Under that
Sports are fun, and young athletes may want to keep playing all year long. But parents must take to steps to protect young athletes’ bodies and avoid overdoing it with sports throughout the year.

Spring Skincare
April showers bring May owers, as well as a myriad of skincare challenges as we transition from cold, dry air to kind of cold but more humid weather. As you may have already started switching out your winter clothes for warmer weather apparel, it’s also a good time to rethink your skincare routine. It’s time to set aside your wintertime lotions and potions and start making space for new products to amp up your skin for the sun and sweat to come.
If your winter regime fo-
cused on building up and protecting your skin barrier, then wonderful, you have the right approach to cold weather skincare! Now, as we turn to spring, you can leave o the thicker, heavier moisturizers and clear out those pores with some exfoliation.
Clinique’s Exfoliating Scrub works best for oily skin to refresh and re ne your skin’s texture. For an anti-aging option, check out CereVe’s Skin Renewing Nightly Exfoliating Treatment with its blend of glycolic and lactic acid for gentle exfoliation to smooth ne lines and accelerate skin cell renewal. And don’t just exfoliate above the neck. Glycolic Body Scrub from Frank Body,
available at Ulta, will tackle dryness, rough patches, and body bumps as you prep your skin for more exposure with the warming season. Speaking of the body, give your heavy body balms a break and switch to a lightweight head-to-toe lotion like Cetaphil’s Moisturizing Lotion for normal to dry skin. e added bonus of this hydrating cream is that if you haven’t been taking care of your skin’s natural moisture barrier, this product will help restore it in a week with daily use.
For those of you who run hot, look to Jack Black’s Cool Moisture Body Lotion at Sephora to refresh while nourishing your skin on sweaty days.
And if you’re ready to dive right into the lazy days of summer, then consider Mountain Ocean’s Skin Trip Lotion, which combines coconut oil, aloe vera, and lanolin for a sensory experience that delivers long-lasting moisture.
Getting back to faces, if you’ve been applying face oil to protect your skin this past season, you can set it aside and now reach for a revitalizing serum. A seasonal serum will keep your skin glowy and plump without clogging your pores, as oil can tend to do in warmer, aka sweatier weather.
BYOMA’s Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum from Ulta gives your skin an instant glow and
Throughout your car-buying journey and beyond, I’ll be there to help you protect what matters.

Bernadette Ulsamer
can also work as a primer for daily makeup. To feel a bit more luxuriant, there’s Essence De Beate’s Revitalizing Serum II-15, which combines glycolic acid with seed extracts to radiate and soothe skin.
For any serum, I enjoy applying it with a face roller or gua sha tool. Get the pair as a bundle from Natural Gua Sha’s online shop. ey have rollers and gua sha stones in rose quartz, jade, amethyst, obsidian and stainless steel. I can’t decide whether to put jade for eternal youth or amethyst for tranquility on my Mother’s Day wish list.
Next up, cleansers. No matter the time of year, I’m always cleansing my face twice, if not more o en during the hotter months. Removing makeup rst and then washing my face. For the former, there’s Mario Badescu’s Cleansing Oil to remove heavier makeup. For sensitive skin, check Sulwhasoo’s Gentle Cleansing Foam over at Nordstrom.
For any makeup remover, you want it to also hydrate your face, not leave it dry or rough. For daily washing that also hydrates, check out Avene’s Tolerance Control Extremely Gentle Cleanser, a no-rinse gel that calms, soothes, and acts as an overnight serum. ere’s also the Face Shop’s Rice Water Bright foaming wash, which is a vegan product that cleans, brightens (as the name suggests), and hydrates.
If you haven’t been, now is a good time to start using a daily hand cream. During the winter, to stave o dry skin, I use a few pumps of CeraVe or Vaseline’s Mature Skin lotion a er washing my hands. In the spring and
summer, I like to carry hand cream with me to apply as needed throughout the day, especially when I’m out and about.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez’s Find Comfort Hand Cream, available at Sephora, is great for on-the-go. First, it’s a fast-absorbing, non-greasy hand cream with a bright, upli ing scent. Second, it comes in a super-cute container that ts easily in your handbag. While La Roche Posay’s Cicaplast hand cream soothes dry, cracked hands and is semi-water resistant.
Lastly, SPF. I’m sure you’ve all been using a daily SPF during these winter months, as dermatologists recommend (wink wink). Sure, there have been plenty of gray days when I skipped SPF, but more o en than not, this past season, I utilized a setting powder sunscreen when leaving the house. Now, with longer and brighter days ahead, I’ll be using more products with built-in Sunscreen/SPF, like Supergoop’s Glowscreen primer. is tinted lotion boasts SPF 40 and works like a non-makeup makeup for days when you’re not in the mood to beat out a full face. I’ll also add Sunbum’s Mineral SPF 30 Sunscreen Lip Balm to my makeup bag to hydrate and protect. And then, of course, swiping on actual sunscreen, like good old Banana Boat SPF 50 Broad Spectrum.
As we move into warmer weather, denitely take some time to review your beauty routine and swap wintertime favorites for spring and summer-focused beauty. If you don’t already have go-to products, maybe you’ll nd some of these suggestions or brands helpful in building up your springtime skincare.

Crochet for Beginners
Hobbies pass the time and can lead to projects of signi cant personal and potentially nancial value. Needlework can be a rewarding endeavor. Some people may be familiar with knitting but less so with crochet and how it di ers from traditional knitting.
Unlike knitting, which uses two needles to create items out of yarn, crochet utilizes a single hooked tool. is hook creates fabric from loops of yarn or even thinner embroidery osses or string. Crochet can be used to make everything from blankets to clothing to hats to dolls to bags. Some social media posts even feature fences made from crochet!
Nobody is quite certain where crochet originated. Mother Knitter, a knitting and crocheting store in New Jersey, says origin stories trace crochet to anywhere from Arabia to South America to China. e popularity of crochet in North America can be attributed to European immigration in the early nineteenth century. Indeed, the word “crochet” is derived from the Old French word “croc,” meaning “hook.”
It’s easy to begin to crochet and minimal equipment is needed. All a person needs is a crochet hook and some yarn. However, delving a little deeper into crochet basics can help the nished project look and feel how a person wants it to. Yarn comes in di erent weights, colors and bers. Heavier, thicker yarns work better with larger hooks. Yarn labels
o en recommend the coordinating hook size to get the ideal results. Many beginners nd it best to start with a medium weight yarn, and a size H or I crochet hook (5 to 6 mm).
Crochet patterns feature various stitches. e stitches are formed by looping the yarn around the hook and pulling though the loop a predetermined number of times. Common stitches include single crochet, double crochet, half-double crochet, and treble crochet. Patterns feature abbreviations of these stitches, which beginners will have to learn to slowly master the techniques and patterns. Crochet recently has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, with clubs gathering in cities and towns across the country. ere also are plenty of online tutorials.
Crochet is typically faster than knitting, so people who want to see their projects completed more quickly can opt for this needlework. Keep in mind, however, that more yarn o en is needed for crochet projects than knitting projects. Also, sometimes crochet fabric is less stretchy than knit fabric. Some people also nd that crocheting might be easier than knitting. Since crochet works with one live stitch, it’s less likely to unravel accidentally than knitting, advises SarahMaker.com. Also, to x a crochet mistake, one only has to remove a few stitches and redo the work.
Crochet can be a fun hobby. Projects range from very basic to complex, giving people opportunities to grow their knowledge and expertise.

e CTA released no further information regarding speci c sites which the committee has in mind, but it was pointed out that the Susquehanna Sub Depot that served as World War II ordnance grounds is out of the picture because it was only half the required acreage. e former ordnance site was suggested some time ago as a site for a proposed air force base, but that project did not develop as planned by the Air Force.

Pooches, Penguins & Promises: A Tribute to Naomi Watts
Your Webb critic has two favorite actresses.
One — though she’s really before my time — is Golden Age golden-girl Myrna Loy. For years America’s favorite wife, Loy starred in the marvelous in Man movies, and was partly responsible for the bullet-riddled end of John Dillinger’s criminal career. (Look it up!)
My other fave is Naomi Watts, whose resume covers several huge hits and cult classics: Birdman, Mulholland Drive, e Ring, St. Vincent, 21 Grams and Peter Jackson’s colossal King Kong remake
And that doesn’t include an impressive roster of lesser-knowns — nor her latest. So in honor of the April 2025 release for e Friend — in which she co-stars with Bill Murray and a great Great Dane — here’s a handful of under-the-radar worthies from Watts’s glowing lmography: Boss Level (2021) Colorful sci- actioner about a soldier (Frank Grillo) trapped in a time-loop where everyone wants to kill him — apparently several dozen times.
Watts plays his wife, whose work seems to
have generated the loop — along with an impending apocalypse. Fast and funny, with an abrupt but nely tting nal moment. Co-starring Mel Gibson, with a cameo from the NFL’s Rob Gronkowski.
Eastern Promises (2007) Viggo Mortensen snagged an Oscar nom with this career-topping work as an enigmatic driver for the Russian ma a in London. Watts is a labor-and-delivery nurse who inadvertently tangles with the mob while caring for an orphaned newborn. Expertly directed by David Cronenberg, whose resume includes another Mortensen crime thriller, A History of Violence — though the artist generally leans toward horror ( e Dead Zone, Videodrome, eXistenZ). So be forewarned: is lm’s unforgettable bathhouse knife- ght is just one of several gruesome moments; but the ultimate ending is quite hopeful.
e Impossible (2012) In this true-life tale of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Watts plays Maria Belon, who was vacationing in ailand with her family when the rst wave swept her away. Having latched on to a oating tree, Belon saw her oldest boy a oat in the distance and reached him only a er being gravely in-
A CONVENIENTLY LOCATED RESIDENTIAL HOME , encompasses 2 ½ story with 1,268 Sq.ft. of Living Area.

Joseph W. Smith III
jured. Meanwhile, neither of them had any idea what had happened to the husband and two other sons. ough it has a good ending, you’ll need tissues for this one; Watts notched her second Oscar nod for the shattering tale — and frankly, she should have won.
Matinee (1993) When I spent a year watching lms for my book e Best Movies You Never Saw (which includes most of the titles here), this sadly neglected gem was literally my favorite nd. Watts, however, has only a tiny role in Matinee, an enchanting sleeper that’s part nostalgia, part coming-of-age and mostly satire on cheesy old sci- like em! and e Fly Set on the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it concerns a gaggle of Key West adolescents jockeying to attend the latest frightfest from ctional Hollywood producer Lawrence Woolsey (John Goodman). Watts features brie y in one lm-withina- lm, a spot-on Disney spoof called e Shook-Up Shopping Cart.
Ophelia (2018) Shakespeare purists won’t care much for this revisionist take on Hamlet, which tells the tale from Ophelia’s viewpoint. Yet despite drastic changes, I really liked this handsome and well-acted version. Daisy Ridley and 1917’s George McKay have the leads, with Watts and Clive Owen playing the queen and king.
Penguin Bloom (2021) Among Watts’s nest moments is yet another true story — this one involving an
active young mother who was suddenly paralyzed from the waist down. Distressed and angry over her inability to participate in family life, she is almost ready to give up when her son rescues an injured magpie — which, while serving as a marker for the struggling wife, also restores hope to the home.
Stay (2005) What if I told you that Watts had made a movie with Ryan Gosling and Ewan McGregor? And that it was written by David Benio (Game of rones) and directed by Marc Forster (Kite Runner, Quantum of Solace, Finding Neverland, Stranger an Fiction, Monster’s Ball). at lm is Stay, and it involves aery accident on the Brooklyn Bridge; its enigmatic survivor (Gosling) ba es his psychiatrist (McGregor), especially as he begins to predict his own death … which sounds disturbingly like the original crash. Stick with this one; it’s what I call a “jigsaw-puzzle movie” — where the plot’s many odd-shaped pieces somehow all t together at the end.
While We’re Young (2014) Ben Stiller fans shouldn’t miss this story in which he and Watts play childless Manhattan middle-agers who suddenly start swinging with a hipper young crowd — headlined by co-stars Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried. Sobering, savvy satire from writer-director Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story, Barbie). e Friend opens Friday at e District in Muncy.

Local Special Needs Woman
Collects Snacks for EMS Workers
By Lou Hunsinger, Jr.
Sherry Clapper, daughter of Jack and Sharlene Clapper, has had a long and di cult road in her 50 years of life. She was born mentally disabled, could not walk or talk, and was told by some cruel person that she would be of no value to society.
at road has included a severe kidney infection and pneumonia in both lungs, and she was put on a respirator for 28 days with word from the doctors that her parents should make plans for Sherry’s passing.
Sherry removed part of her breathing tube on the 28th day and started breathing on her own. In a week, they brought her home with a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, diabetes type two, and lymphedema in both her arms and legs, which she needs to pump two hours daily.
In 2023, Sherry was hospitalized for a week for a pancreatic infection. And in 2024, she had thyroid cancer and had her thyroid removed. e outcome of that was they got all the cancer. However, she has a paralyzed vocal cord and a hiatal hernia, which they are currently working with doctors for an-

Despite these daunting health challenges, Sherry has a special mission to show appreciation to all those in the emergency medical services community, particularly the paramedics of the UPMC Williamsport Hospital.
“In 2020, when COVID hit hard, we received word that the Emergency Medical Services workers of Lycoming County were struggling mentally and physically with all the illness and death from COVID. When Sherry heard us talking about this, she wanted to color them pictures. So, she colored pictures, and I sent a note explaining who Sherry was to the EMS,” Sharlene told Webb Weekly.
ing her for all her love and reaching out to them at a time when they most needed it. In 2021, they invited Sherry to meet all of the EMS personnel and come to their picnic. She had her picture taken with them, and they showed her all their equipment, which made Sherry’s day. And so began Sherry’s Mission, a project to collect snacks and drinks for the EMS every year to thank them for a job well done.”
Sharlene said Sherry loves EMS and waves to them whenever she sees them in the community. Sherry turned 50 this year and asked her guests to come to her party, and instead of gi s to bring snacks or drinks for her EMS mission project. Items lled the living room and on April 1st, the delivery was made. e items delivered included many di erent varieties of snacks and drinks and, again, a great round of smiles and hugs.
Sherry loves cows, which she fell in love with from visiting Pappy Clapper’s farm in Laceyville, Pennsylvania.
She also loves Elton John and has attended three of his concerts, shouting and rocking out to his music.
“She got a response and was then excited to make a video for them telling them how good they were and that God loves them. She then got a video response from the EMS. So, at Christmas of 2020, she wanted to collect snacks and drinks to take to them to thank them for all their hard work. She took the snacks and drinks to their building, and they fell in love with Sherry. ank-
Her hobbies are bowling, Superstar Drum exercise at the YMCA, bingo, going to the casino, going to the movies, going to Crosscutters games in the summer, and just being out in the community to wave and smile at everyone.

The Roving Sportsman… An Update Regarding Ticks!
By Jon Pries
The tick of greatest concern in our area is the black-legged tick — o en referred to as the “deer tick.” ey do not exclusively feed upon deer but instead prefer to attach to small mammals such as mice and chipmunks and occasionally birds. ey will also feed on large mammals such as raccoons, deer and bears, livestock, and even humans.

People who spend any amount of time outdoors are at risk of exposure to these ticks and contracting a tick-borne illness. Hunters, hikers, shermen, and those folks who work outdoors are more likely to be bitten by ticks since they spend more time in forest edges, wooded areas, tall grasses, and other areas preferred by ticks.
Pets that spend time out of doors are especially susceptible to becoming a host to ticks and can carry these unwanted parasites into a home. Ticks cannot jump or y. Instead, they crawl to the top of tall grasses where they await a passing host. en, they crawl onto
clothing or fur, nd a preferred spot, and begin feeding, which may last for several days. ey may attach just about anywhere on a human but prefer moist, dark areas, such as under the arms, the groin area, or under the waistband. If you locate a tick, remove it immediately. e longer it remains attached, the greater the risk of a transfer of a tick-borne disease, such as Lyme disease. Be careful. Grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible with sterile tweezers or a tick removal tool (check with your local drug store for Majestic Bombay ne point tweezers, or you can nd them online) and slowly pull upward with a steady, even tug. A er removal, wash and disinfect the area where the tick was attached. Dispose of the tick
by submerging it in rubbing alcohol for more than a day, wrap it tightly in tape, and throw it in the trash or ush it down the toilet. is may seem a bit extreme, but ask anyone who has developed Lyme disease, and they would totally agree with these careful and proper disposal methods.
Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help avoid tick encounters to begin with. Wearing light-colored long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and closetoed shoes will help. Tuck your shirt into the pants and tuck the pants leg into socks or boots. Use insect repellent that contains greater than 20 percent DEET on exposed skin and clothing. A very e ective preventative is to treat your clothing with a product containing 0.5 percent permethrin. Walk in the center of logging roads or trails, thus avoiding tall grasses, and always wear protective gloves when handling dead animals.
otics, and recovery can be quick. If not treated immediately, the infection can spread to other parts of the body, producing life-long illnesses or even death.
Today, another culprit has extended its range throughout Pennsylvania. It is the Lone Star Tick and can cause alpha-gal meat allergy. Its bite can result in other serious medical conditions, including death. If bitten by an infected Lone Star tick, symptoms may not occur right away but can include mild fever, headache, chills, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, joint pain, confusion, rash, and cough. If you have been infected, these symptoms may also occur a er eating red meat.
Recently, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) revealed that the bite from a black-legged tick can also trigger a meat
Pennsylvania is home to a number of hawks as well as some falcons, and like a lot of others, I’m always trying to identify which one of them I’m looking at.
Be aware that there are some di erences between a hawk and a falcon.
For starters, falcons are typically smaller and faster than hawks, while hawks are generally larger and more powerful.
While it’s true that they are both birds of prey feeding on mice, voles, snakes, insects, and other small woodland critters, they exhibit di erent ight patterns during the hunt.
Falcons beat their wings rapidly, gliding brie y, while hawks ap their wings slowly, gliding for longer periods of time.
Besides di erences in ight patterns, there are also di erences in appearance; falcons will have long, more pointed wings, while hawks will have shorter, more rounded wing tips.
a Red-tailed Hawk perched or circling over the grassy banks along a major highway.
Another commonly spotted Pennsylvania hawk is the Broadwinged Hawk — plain brown on the back and barred with a rusty color below and with broad black and white tail bands. is hawk is known for its massive migrations, and one day in September, literally thousands were counted as they passed by the lookout at Hawk Mountain, Pennsylvania.
I’m always on the lookout, and spotting one of our most common hawks, the Red-tailed Hawk, happens fairly frequently in my travels. When trying to identify the Red-tailed Hawk, the rst thing I look for is that obvious rusty, red-colored tail and the whitish breast. I o en see
I don’t have room to describe them here, but some other hawks that you may see are the Goshawk, Cooper’s Hawk — gray back with rusty barred legs, Northern Harrier, and Red-shouldered Hawks. To help you identify these and other birds, I highly recommend the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds. When it comes to spotting falcons, there is one we see quite o en, but many are probably not aware that it is actually a falcon. Another reason we may not realize it’s a falcon is a name it o en goes by — “Sparrow Hawk.” I’m referring to the American Kestrel, a small bird about the size of a Robin with a rusty brown back and gray wings and small black markings on the back, wings, and breast. Every spring, I begin spotting Kestrels as I head down the road; they are o en perched atop a telephone pole, waiting to attack prey on the ground below. Unlike
other falcons, Kestrels capture prey on the ground rather than in midair like other falcons.
Another well-known falcon is the Peregrine Falcon. e Peregrine, with its black head and face, basically disappeared from Pennsylvania and most of the eastern United States by 1960 due to the widespread use of DDT. Peregrines have been reintroduced, and in 2021, there were 73 nesting pairs, and sightings are becoming more common. Peregrines o en prey on other birds by striking them in the air at up to 200 mph! I have been fortunate to spot several over the past few years. ey o en nest amongst cli s, and in
2022, I painted the cover for Pennsylvania Game News of a Peregrine in ight at the rock cli at Picture Rocks along Muncy Creek. Another bird I’ll mention here is the osprey. Sometimes referred to as a sh hawk, the osprey is not actually a hawk or a falcon but rather belongs to a totally di erent family. ey o en nest near water because sh are a big part of their diet. In 1993, I did a painting of an osprey nesting along Loyalsock Creek. Well, hopefully, you’ll spot some of our hawks and falcons. You don’t have to paint them, but you might want to try taking some interesting photographs.
WINTER ROAD SUPPLY
South Goes South to Launch Season
It might not compare with the annual swallows return to Capistrano, which occurred March 19, just two days before the Mounties returned to Myrtle Beach, but the South Williamsport so ball team’s return to the Grand Strand Tournament was made to prepare them for the demanding schedule awaiting them in the 2025 season.
e team’s trip to South Carolina three years ago helped catapult it to a three-year run as District IV AA champions and a spot in last year’s state championship game, a goal de nitely on the mind of the veteran team featuring eight players who participated in the Little League So ball World Series before their high school playing days.
e Mountaineers returned from their ve-game stay in the Palmetto state at the top of the tournament ladder with a 4-1 record against 4 6A schools.
“I think our trip to Myrtle Beach was invaluable,” Mountie coach Tom O’Malley reasoned. “We knew going down, we’d face good competition, and that is
better from the experience.” While success on the so ball eld is paramount, O’Malley’s charges enjoyed opportunities to bond o the eld; the team attended a Coastal Carolina so ball game, where former Loyalsock standout Amanda Danneker is the hitting coach, had team dinners, and participated in a team talent show.
Scott Lowery
“ e games were important, but so was the team bonding opportunity. Sometimes, there may be some disparity between freshmen players and the older girls. Our seniors have played in many games all over the country, and the interactions they had with the younger girls brought our team closer together. at is why you do things like this.”
In 2022, third baseman/pitcher Kendall Cardone was a freshman concerned about tting in with older teammates. She bonded well, remembered the experience, and this year returned the favor.
“When we had free time, I tried to include them more in what we were doing. I tried to talk to them as much as I could and sit by them when we went out to dinner and make sure they felt included in the conversations we were having.
“Some of them would come to me to ask questions before we got there as to what the elds were like and what to expect
as to what the routine would be like. I tried to prepare them for what was to come. Once we were in Myrtle, they felt comfortable coming to me if they needed help. I remembered what it was like for me three years ago, and it was sort of like returning the favor for me.
“We were already bonded before the trip, but I think the time we were able to spend together will help us. For me, I feel more connected to the younger girls. From the conversations I shared with them, I think this trip really helped them. ey don’t seem to be as scared as rst-year players sometimes feel.”
On that previous trip, Maddie Pinkerton was an eighth-grade junior high player who served as a team manager. is time, the junior le elder is an integral part of the team.
“ ree years ago, it was fun coming down here, but it made me more eager to play and be a part of this team. is year, I know I have a job to do every time we step on the eld. Playing these good teams and knowing I am a part of it is something I look forward to.
“I feel good about my start to the season. I think con dence is something that every player may lack at some point, and I think that getting o to a good start gives you a con dence boost and provides a preview of what you want your season to be.
“We are playing a tough schedule this year, and I think the caliber of the teams we played at Myrtle and everything we are doing is aimed at preparing us for our ultimate goal: making another run at a
state championship. It’s the last year together with the seniors on the team, and we want to make it the best season possible.”
e bene ts of the trip were felt by the team’s younger players.
“It was really exciting,” admitted sophomore in elder Allie Nolan. “I had fun being with the team and bonded with everybody. e seniors came to our room at the hotel and talked about so ball and gave me advice about how to play to my fullest potential. I really had fun playing the games.
“ e biggest thing I learned was to become more aggressive and take in the things the coaches are teaching me.
Learning those things and then applying it on the eld makes a di erence.”
As an added bonus, she registered the rst hit of her varsity career.
“ at rst hit was exciting, and hopefully, I will be able to get many more!”
“Playing larger school teams, the speed of the game is better, the pitching is good, hitters are better, overall, that is only going to help us,” O’Malley added. “We had good weather, played good teams and it is going to help us. It is tough to play ve games in ve days, but the girls really did a nice job.”
If early returns are any indication, O’Malley’s words may be heeded. In their rst game back from the trip, the Mountaineers put up a 14-run rst inning in a decisive 14-2 win over Hazelton.
I’ve mentioned before that I am one of North Central PA’s biggest fans. Seriously, folks, what’s not to love about the 570? is place is splendid, and our beautiful area is the perfect backdrop for an outdoor enthusiast like me. Yes, I absolutely dig everything about her, and I am still patiently waiting on an invite from the Bureau. 15 years, kids.

Lycoming County provides hundreds of exceptional shing opportunities. We are so very blessed with several different types of water to target all kinds of species.
Fishing has always been my passion; my lovely bride would say I am somewhat obsessed. I would sh every single day if I could, and I came awfully close during the pandemic.
A few of my favorite spots are just a short drive or walk from the house. I do my very best to sh them year-round, but
unfortunately, my adventures have been non-existent of late. Work and chores seem to get in the way. Besides, Warrior Golf is keeping me super busy. Our addition will never get done. Getting there, folks.

It’s a crazy time of year, and these trout don’t stand a chance. People are everywhere with an abundance of scrumptious ies, lures, and baits. I was on the fence about sneaking out for a few casts that Saturday. I don’t do well with crowds and prefer to sh alone. I had an awful experience with last year’s opener, and I vowed to myself — never again. No worries. en I got to thinking — scary thought, I

know — perhaps I could write the Seven Commandments of Trout Fishing to help. Bear with me, folks. I am only trying to bring more common sense and etiquette back to my favorite sport.
A stationary sherman has the right to remain where he is. Don’t expect him to leave his spot just for you. Leave him alone and walk around, being certain not to disturb his stretch or pool.
Please don’t throw rocks. ey scare sh. e critters too. Kids will get a warning. But adults. NO!
A sherman working upstream has the right of passage over someone coming down. Be very careful and courteous to others. Don’t be that guy who splashes; yield to those who know what they’re doing.
Don’t crowd other shermen — especially when they get to the hole rst. Give them space, and NEVER cast directly next to or in front of them. You’d be surprised, kids.
Stay away from beavers and watch out for kayaks and canoes.
Many streams ow through private property. Kindly respect all postings and remember that stream access is a
privilege and not a right. is doesn’t pertain to the boys funneling those Genny Lights. Feel free to trespass, guys.
Give a hoot. Don’t pollute. Get in the habit of picking up old shing lines, cans, and other trash. It will make a major impact.
Tight lines, boys and girls. Please respect the water and the others who enjoy it. It is also very important to get the next generation involved with the great outdoors. Help teach them good shing etiquette while they are young. Cheers.
