Webb Weekly October 5, 2022

I’m

going to begin this week with a topic that we must all find the positivity in, the United States of America Senate race between Governor Wolf’s former Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman and TV per sonality Dr. Mehmet Oz. For those of you waiting for some of my journalis tic thoughts about the White House, the Wolf house, and them all leading us to the outhouse. Don’t worry; they will be coming in a positive but truth ful way as election time grows nearer.

I am tired of watching the TV com mercials, reading the mailings, and receiving all the texts that involve the hoodied Fetterman and the Doctor of Oz. I just still can’t believe these are the candidates from Pennsylvania that will represent our state in the US Senate.

So, I’m sure you’re thinking, where’s my positivity? Well, here you go. The commercials motivate me to get up and get out — as in any place but in front of the TV. They give me a reason not to be sedentary and to enjoy the out doors during the beautiful fall season.

Next up is the fact they will be having an actual debate on October 25th, an old-fashioned political challenge and discussion to help us find the best can

didate. I’m sure it will be a positive and enlightening conversation. Although boxing gloves — as their campaign promises roll across the bottom of the screen — and a fight until one is knocked out, would be much more entertaining.

Then lastly, which is the most posi tive thing you can say about the two gentlemen, at least from their perspec tive, is that one of them is going to win and be the United States Senator from the great state of Pennsylvania.

Let’s hope that the newly elected sen ator goes to work for the taxpayers and voters of the Keystone State and makes a difference for the good of all. That is the best way to prove their mo tivation isn’t one of power, greed, and fortune at the trough of the taxpayer.

That leads me to what is most needed within government both in Washing ton and Harrisburg. Once an individ ual is elected, it’s almost guaranteed that they will serve multiple terms or until they climb up the political lad der. And this has nothing to do with how good of a job they’re doing. This is more dependent upon one’s individ ual loyalty to following party agenda.

As long as the party doesn’t want the elected out of there, they’re golden, so

to speak. An incumbent candidate is more likely to be reelected, and the party wins. This Demo crat and Republican party support begins with the primary elections when the candidates are seek ing nomination and then carries right on through to November when the Rs and Ds fight it out.

So, let’s just say, hypothetically, that both Mr. Fetterman and Dr. Oz are bad candidates; one of them is des tined to win. This creates the real ity that we all are going to be stuck with this person. This gets me to what is most needed in both Washing ton and Harrisburg — term limits!

Yes, there are great odds they will be reelected; however, term limits could provide a safety net to limit the length of time. This would especial ly hold true in an area that is heav ily democratic or republican, and a clueless candidate wins. You just hope that the next person up is better. I’m sure you can think of examples of democrats and republicans that have never been good at their job but have been there for decades. At least by mak ing them leave one elected position to run for another by limiting terms, they may be found out or exposed. This also

provides the opportunity they will be campaigning in front of a more diver sified voting base for their next job.

When you think about it, bad hires slip through in every aspect of em ployment. When the American people elect anyone, they are basically hiring them for the job; maybe it turns out the person just wasn’t good at that job. It is very difficult to really know what an elected official is doing. As long as they smile and tell the people what they want to hear, it’s assumed they’re doing a good job. We all know Americans are very loyal when it comes to voting and nobody wants to admit they’re wrong. Term limits provide a way to change people when this happens.

Well, that is enough talk about term limits, at least for this week. I don’t want my thoughts about a topic that proba bly will never happen to take away from where the true responsibility must be placed, which is with the American voter.

If you are a citizen of the United States of America, there has never been a more critical time to have your voice heard. If you are not registered, you have until Monday, October 24th, to do so for the Tuesday, November 8th election. Complete information about voting can be found at lyco. org/vote or by calling 570-327-2267. Let’s all be safe out there. God Bless America.

From the Editor… Breast Cancer Awareness Month: RISE: Rally In Screening Everyone

Earlydetection is key. We’ve all heard this over and over regarding cancer, but in particular breast cancer.

The theme for this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month is RISE – Rally In Screening Everyone. “This year we RISE to ensure every woman has access to the screenings she needs and the support she deserves.”

In 2022, an estimated 287,500 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the U.S. as well as 51,400 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer.

65% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage (there is no sign that the cancer has spread outside of the breast), for which the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.

This year, an estimated 43,550 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S.

Although rare, men get breast cancer too. In 2022, an estimated 2,710 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. and approximately 530 men will die from breast cancer.

1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her

lifetime

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new women’s cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

There are over 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States.

These statistics are why it is so important to have access to screenings and to make sure you are getting screened per you doctors’ recommendations.

Here is some information from the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) about how to go about scheduling and getting a mammogram: Overcoming Barriers to Scheduling

Your Mammogram

Many women encounter barriers when trying to schedule a mammogram. Often, things like concerns with cost or not knowing who to call can be discouraging

when setting up an appointment. This article provides the essential information you need so that you do not miss out on this important exam.

What You Need to Know

Before being able to schedule a mammogram, you might need a referral from a doctor if you are under the age of 40, have already received your annual screening mammogram for the year, have an abnormal breast symptom, or have had breast cancer in the past. If you are 40 years or older and simply seeking a screening mammogram without any of the exceptions mentioned, it’s unlikely you will be asked for a doctor’s referral.  What Type of Mammogram to Schedule Screening mammogram: If you don’t have any symptoms or pain, and just need your yearly mammogram.

Diagnostic mammogram: If you have continuous and persistent pain, redness, a lump, discharge, or other concerns that need to be evaluated. Diagnostic mammograms are also done after irregular findings in a routine screening mammogram.

Why is it Important to Know the Difference?

Screening and diagnostic mammograms differ in cost and in specialty. If you are paying for your service out of pocket or if your health insurance does not cover your diagnostic mammogram, you’ll want to know ahead of time to be

Steph Nordstrom

prepared.

While mammograms are an important part of early detection, your earliest defense may be yourself. I think that we can all agree that no one knows our bodies better than we do. This means we are often the first to notice when something isn’t right or the same that it was before — this is where self-exams come in and why they are so critical in the early detection of breast cancer. Now before I go further, here’s your warning; I’m going to be talking about ta-tas. Specifically, how to do self-breast exams. If, for some reason, that makes you uncomfortable, just keep moving on. Because you know what makes me and millions of people across the world uncomfortable? Breast cancer. And we all know that the first line of defense against breast cancer is early detection. And self-exams are the first line in that first line of defense.

Before we get to the details on doing the self-exam, let’s go over a few things. First, ladies, we should be performing self-exams monthly. So, pick a day and stick to it. Maybe it’s the first or last day of the month, or perhaps your favorite number; just try to stay consistent. Also, remember that while these exams are important, they should never replace regular screenings with your doctor. On to the details!

What are the steps of a breast selfexam?

1. Visual inspection: With your shirt and bra removed, stand in front of a mirror. Put your arms down by your sides. Look for any changes in breast shape, breast swelling, dimpling in the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, raise your arms high overhead and look for the same things. Finally, put your hands on your hips and press firmly to make your chest muscles flex. Look for the same changes again. Be sure to look at both breasts.

2. Manual inspection while standing up: With your shirt and bra removed, use your right hand to examine your left breast, then vice versa. With the pads of your three middle fingers, press on every part of one breast. Use light pressure, then medium, then firm. Feel for any lumps, thick spots, or other changes. A circular pattern may help you make sure you hit every spot. Then, press the tissue under the arm. Be sure to check under the areola and then squeeze the nipple gently to check for discharge. Repeat the steps on the other side of your body.

3. Manual inspection while lying down: When you lie down, your breast tissue spreads more evenly. This is a good position to feel for changes, especially if your breasts are large. Lie down and put a pillow under your right

shoulder. Place your right arm behind your head. Using your le hand, apply the same technique as step 2, using the pads of your ngers to press all parts of the breast tissue and under your arm. Finally, swap the pillow to the other side, and check the other breast and armpit. Be sure to check under the areola and then squeeze the nipple gently to check for discharge.

Results and Follow-Up

When should I call my doctor about something I nd in my breast selfexam?

If you nd a lump or any other worrisome changes, stay calm. Most self-exam ndings are not signs of breast cancer. But you should still call your healthcare provider if you notice any:

– Change in the look, feel, or size of the breast.

– Change in the look or feel of the nipple.

– Dimpling or puckering of the skin.

– Lump, hard knot, or thick spot in the breast tissue.

– Nipple discharge.

– Nipple or other area pulling inward.

– Pain in one spot that won’t go away.

– Rash on the nipple.

– Swelling of one or both breasts.

– Warmth, redness, or dark spots on the skin.

ere you have it. Once again, a selfexam should never replace your regular screenings with your doctor. If you have a 4 or higher at the front of your age,

remember that you should be getting yearly mammograms or whatever your PCP recommends.

I also want to note that UPMC is o ering $55 Mammograms this month, on several dates, and at several locations. $55 Mammograms

What: UPMC is o ering $55 mammograms for those with no or limited insurance coverage in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Appointments are limited, and it is necessary to call the phone number of the location that is most convenient to you. Be sure to mention $55 mammograms when scheduling your appointment. Mammograms must be paid by cash or check.

When & Where: UPMC Williamsport Divine Providence Campus, Breast Health Center, 1100 Grampian Blvd., Williamsport on Oct. 15, 8 a.m. to noon. Call 570-326-8200.

UPMC Muncy, 215 E. Water St., on Oct. 8 and Oct. 29, from 8 a.m. to noon. Call 570-321-2545.

UPMC Wellsboro, 32 Central Ave., on Oct. 13, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 570723-0160.

Also, over the next month it will be a veritable ‘Pink Out’ wherever you go. Please be cautious on what you buy and where you donate. Not everyone is giving the money where they say, and not all BC charities are created equal. Do your due diligence.

Seven

Manywomen are concerned about the potential for developing breast cancer in their lifetimes. Breast cancer is the second-most common cancer among women in the United States and Canada. Despite that prevalence, there are ways for women to reduce their risk for breast cancer.

While it is impossible to change family history or genetic markers like gene mutations that increase breast cancer risk, the following are seven ways women can lower their risk.

1. Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight. Physical activity and monitoring calories can keep weight in check. The Mayo Clinic recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity. Strength training at least twice a week also is recommended. Being overweight or obese increases a woman’s risk for breast cancer.

2. Consume a healthy diet. The link between diet and breast cancer risk is still being studied. However, research suggests that a diet high in vegetables and fruit, and calcium-rich dairy products, but low in red and processed meats may lower breast cancer risk.

3. Avoid or limit alcohol consumptions. Alcohol increases risk of breast cancer, even in small amounts. For those who

drink, no more than one alcoholic drink a day should be the limit. The more a woman drinks, the greater her risk of developing breast cancer, states the Mayo Clinic.

4. Undergo genetic counseling and testing. Women concerned about a genetic connection or family history of breast cancer can speak to their doctor about testing and counseling that could help them reduce their risk. Preventive medicines and surgeries might help those at elevated risk for breast cancer.

5. Limit hormone therapy. Combination hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women may increase risk of breast cancer, indicates the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Similarly, taking oral contraceptives during reproductive years may increase risk. Women can speak with their physicians to weigh the pros and cons of taking such hormones.

6. Breastfeed children, if possible. Breastfeeding has been linked to reducing a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer.

7. Learn to detect breast cancer. Women should get to know their bodies so they can determine if something is awry as early as possible. Early detection of breast cancer increases the chances that treatment will prove successful.

Women can embrace various strategies to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.

Thispast Sunday, I start ed a new series of ser mons called “Missional Strategy – Why we do what we do the way we do it.” I think I chose this topic partly because the pandemic is wind ing down, partly because our church is on the threshold of some new opportunities, and partly because mission drift is inevitable. Whatever the reason, it’s always a good organization al discipline to revisit missional strategy. Every organization has a why that defines its reason for existence. For the Church, it is the making of disciples of Jesus Christ. Jesus described the why of the church this way, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20 Paul the Apostle spoke of the why this way, All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of

reconciliation. We are, therefore, Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. II Corinthians 5:18-20

The why is the reason we ex ist. It is our primary mission. It guides every decision we make and energizes every action we take – or at least it should.

Jesus gave the Church two pri mary directives in the mission of making disciples: baptizing and teaching.

Baptizing

Long before baptism, God’s saving grace was already drawing the believ er. This is why Paul declared in Ephe sians 2:8 that God’s grace alone saves us, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”

Baptism is a definitive outward declara tion of faith in Jesus Christ. Like birth, it marks the completion of the first stage of a disciple’s life. A baptism is a testimony to the saving grace of God. Church, if we’re willing, we can be a channel of that grace.

In fact, the call to baptize is actually a command to be a channel of saving grace. We can’t save anyone, but God’s grace flowing freely through us can. Like water, saving grace flows naturally to the lowest

Being a Chris tian isn’t just about being saved; it’s also about being transformed so we, too, can become successful in the mission. Listen as Paul makes this point abundantly clear: Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bod ies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper wor ship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Jesus instructed His Church to be a channel of His transformational grace by teaching believers to obey everything He commanded. That’s a tall order, and the church has the job of getting it done.

Efforts

to educate women about breast cancer have helped raise awareness of the disease and just how treatable it is when detected early. Despite that, a diagnosis can still be difficult for women and their families. When someone close to you is affected by breast cancer, priorities suddenly change and you may be wondering what you can do to provide the support needed to help this person navigate any ups and downs that could be on the horizon.

A breast cancer diagnosis does not produce a uniform response. While one loved one may embrace others wanting to help, another may feel she is a burden and exhibit an unwillingness to accept help. In the latter instance, being a supportive bystander may require walking on eggshells. Even still, there are some universal ways to lend support

when a friend or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer.

Offer practical support. Cancer affects the body in a number of ways. Energy levels may wane and certain symptoms may arise. Side effects from treatments also can make it difficult to continue with daily tasks. So an offer to help with tasks associated with daily living, such as cooking meals, gardening, washing clothes, or cleaning up around the house, can be practical and much appreciated. Approach the individual and ask questions in pointed ways. Rather than, “What can I do to help?”, which may result in an answer of, “Nothing,” figure out a way to pitch in and then ask if that would be acceptable. This may be, “Would you like me to run to the supermarket for you today?”

Offer emotional support. Someone with breast cancer

may just need a person who can be there and listen. A hug, a nod of understanding or even a companion who can chat and take the person’s mind off the cancer can be immensely helpful. Keep in mind that emotions may change on a dime, and some emotions may be directed at support systems. While it can feel hurtful, remember the real reason for any outburst is the disease. Patience is needed at all times.

Learn what you can about breast cancer. Research the type of cancer your loved one has, which may make it easier to understand what to expect. If the person is amenable, you may consider accompanying her to appointments to hear firsthand about the next steps in her treatment and recovery.

Maintain a positive attitude. It’s never easy knowing someone you love is sick. They are going through their own emotional roller coaster, and support systems can lift their

spirits by maintaining positive attitudes. Avoid wearing rosecolored glasses, but try to remain as upbeat as possible.

Find a support group. Professional support groups are great resources for coping with a cancer journey. Supporting a person with cancer takes its own unique toll, particularly when caring for a spouse, child or mother with breast cancer. Support groups or support networks can be helpful.

Individuals diagnosed with breast cancer may need a little extra love and support. It’s up to caregivers and friends to step up and provide what is needed.

County Hall Corner: A Senior Moment

By Larry Stout

Thereis a wake-up call with retirement. In one sense, it seems fantastic that the daily drudgery of going to work is finally in the rearview mirror. Finally, there is the freedom to travel, pick up a new hobby, or just spend more time with family and friends. But the other reality is that the body is not what it was just a few years before, and the cost of those medical bills puts a bite in those plans for Hilton Head or Hawaii.

Given that I am now part of that community, I can say that I have yet to meet a single senior that can say that their retirement has turned out the way they expected. A number have discovered that their newly acquired free time is coveted by family members who need babysitters or other help. The same is true of the amount of money they believed would allow them to live ‘comfortably’ in their evening years, especially with the present inflation rates we are now encountering.

It is this elderly angst that was behind the Senior Expo sponsored by Senator Gene Yaw and Representa-

tive Joe Hamm at the Community Baptist Church on the morning of Thursday, September 22nd. One local media source (not Webb Weekly!) published the wrong location. Still, it appears that virtually everyone got their CORRECT info about the event from a very impressive mail flyer sent out to seniors. The doors were to open at 9:30 a.m., yet the line started forming before 9:00, and by 9:30, at least 100 seniors were waiting to enter. The government sponsors of this program were not sponsors in name only. When the door did open, Senator Yaw was there to greet each person as they entered. Standing a few yards inside the entrance was Representative Joe Hamm, and he was not just shaking

hands. One after another stood in line to talk to Hamm because he has a wellearned reputation as a government offi cial who does not just listen to problems but seeks to find ways to solve them.

Assembled were over 50 vendors with programs or services for se niors. They represented health or ganizations, financial institutions, non-profit organizations, and even law-enforcement units. It was a cor nucopia that was extremely well de signed and, given the 500 or so at tendees, was also greatly appreciated. Quite frankly, seniors are looking for help, and they need more than Senator Yaw and Representative Hamm, and well-meaning local organizations can offer. One example is the Pennsylvania Lottery which supplies Pennsylvania seniors to have access to free and re duced-fare transportation, prescrip tion assistance, free meals, and rent and property tax rebates. That last item, property tax rebates, is critically valu able to many seniors. Yet the program has not been adjusted for inflation for many years — thus, as seniors get cost-of-living increases to their social security, it could bump them from the rebate program on rent and property tax. In 2010, the number peaked at just over 600,000 but then began to shrink, a trend that has continued every year

since. In 2021, fewer than 450,000 households received rebates. That’s a drop of almost 27% in the past ten years. This year may be especially challenging for many because Social Security recip ients will receive the highest cost-of-liv ing adjustment since 1982, which could disqualify scores of people currently receiving rebates when they reapply next year based on their 2022 income.

This is a problem that the legisla tors in Harrisburg could fix but have not chosen to do so. Some years ago, there was a stopgap measure focused on Social Security cost-of-living in creases, ensuring that no one who had already qualified for a rebate would lose out solely because of those rais es. The bill, signed into law by for mer Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, allowed hundreds of people to keep receiving rebates, according to the De partment of Revenue, but it expired in 2016 and has not been renewed.

Sadly, this is just one of many issues that seniors must deal with as their lives get more demanding, and they have fewer resources to deal with them. It used to be the Boy Scouts who would help an old lady across the street. To day, there needs to be more leaders like Senator Yaw and Representative Hamm to help them where they need to go.

The 9-11 Memorial Coalition would like to thank the following organizations, institutions, and citizens of Lycoming County for their donations, help and patronage with the 9-11 Memorial Ride. Without your help, this event would not be a success.

AsI sat on the front porch last week of our beautiful log cabin high on top of a mountain overlooking the Smoky Mountains, I couldn’t help but take it all in. Each morning we went out to sit in the line of rocking chairs that awaited us. Some of us had coffee, while others read a book.

Me? Well, I had my vanilla chai hot tea even though it was hotter than molasses down there. The view was breathtaking. Two trees above us leaned just enough that it looked like the mountains were framed into this gorgeous scenery. A small pine tree stood tall as if it was as high as the framed trees. I thought, “How cute would that tree look with Christmas lights!?”

This was the morning after we visited one of the coolest Christmas stores I had ever been to. The mountains rolled for days. The peaks were so high. Pennsylvania mountains are gorgeous, but in the Smokies, they go for miles and miles and stand so much taller. The afternoon we got there, we passed a

mountain with tons of little log cabins that all looked the same. Each was sitting next to the other as if they were going to fall off the edge of this mountain because there were so many. It was so neat to see. A few days later, we all rode a mountain coaster at night and passed this far away mountain again. All the houses glowed like a scene from a Christmas village. We all oohed and ahhed because it was like something in a movie. Kenzy said, “Momma! It’s like the scene in the new Grinch movie with all their little houses on the mountain.” She was right. It was exactly like that. I could have sat in a chair right alongside this country road with a mug of hot tea and stared at it all night. It was truly magical.

Our week was wonderful. We shared this home with all of our best friends. It was a perfect home for all of us to spend a week together, and we did and saw so much. The sights and sounds of a new town are exciting. Spending a week with your besties to share it with makes it that much better. It just so happened to be our seventeenth wedding anniversary. We

Andrea McElroy

had been in Gatlinburg and Nashville for our ten-year anniversary, and here we were seven years later with our kids and best friends to live it all over again.

They kept our kids so we could go enjoy dinner together one night that week. I had looked and reviewed lots of places to eat weeks prior. The one that really got me was a restaurant called Ristorante DellaSantina. It was nestled in the little town of Sevierville, about five miles from our cabin. When I searched online, the outside didn’t strike me at first, so I kept looking. I would look at

menus, environment, and reviews. I found beautiful places, but their menu was not our usual taste. We aren’t people to go spend $60 on one plate and not be full. These small portions and high price places don’t do much for us. We are bar food and Italian people, but going to a bar for our anniversary in a brand new town for us wasn’t something we wanted either.

Ristorante DellaSantina’s menu looked amazing, and the inside looked gorgeous. I told Chris as we drove there for our dinner date that the outside

didn’t look the best, but I promised the menu, and the inside looked amazing. We were going to sit by the river that night, but it was so hot that we chose to sit inside. The tables were covered in white cotton tablecloths, and on top of the tables were a candle, a real rose in a vase, and a gorgeous place setting. Above our table was a stained-glass window. It was perfect.

Everything in this restaurant except for the cannoli were all imported from Italy, and the pasta was made from scratch. Chris and I ordered the same thing, Caesar salad, chicken alfredo, and an appetizer that was focaccia. It’s an ovenbaked flatbread with some insanely

delicious seasonings on it for those of you not familiar.

Everything was heaven. The chicken was perfectly grilled. The pasta was unlike any pasta I had ever tasted. The salad and bread were incredible too. We were so happy with our meals and left with leftovers. I couldn’t leave without trying an imported Italian dessert.

When we left, Chris and I said that it shows you that you can’t judge a book by its cover. Google it. You will see the outside is just a regular building. Each section is a different color — blue, yellow, pink, and red. The end was where the restaurant was, which was a cream color. You wouldn’t think it was

some lavishing place, but it was. The best Italian food we ever had. It is a must-try if you are ever in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. The service was awesome, the environment was soft and elegant, and the food was to die for. It just goes to show that you can’t judge a restaurant for how the outside looks. We can’t wait to go back!

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad Ingredients:

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut in small chunks & seasoned (I use chicken seasoning)

• 1 head of romaine lettuce, washed and chopped

• 1/4 of a red pepper

• 3/4 cup (uncooked) of any pasta (I used Radiatori)

• Croutons

• Parmesan Cheese

Caesar Dressing —-> Now, I’m not gonna lie. I had every intention of making a homemade Caesar with this, but I just couldn’t get past the anchovy paste in order to get that Caesar taste.

I prefer not to officially know there is smashed fish in my dressing. I’d rather think they just don’t put it in it when you just buy it. Haha!

But, I used a very delicious brand called Marzetti that you can find in the cooler aisle at your local grocery store.

Cook chicken in a pan with a little

olive oil until golden brown. While your chicken is cooking start cooking your ¾ cup of pasta. Rinse with cool water, set aside.

Get a large bowl and dump your romaine lettuce in. Add chicken, pasta, and red pepper. Top with as much dressing as you would like and mix well.

This will make 2 large salad servings for a meal or 4 small side dish servings.

Garnish with parm cheese and croutons.

SERVE Immediately. (Or wait to add dressing until ready to serve.)

World War II Veteran to Lead Free Concert at the CAC

By Joseph W. Smith III

Thebrutal battle of the Ardennes Forest took place more than 80 years ago during World War II; there aren’t many men still alive who fought and served during those freezing weeks late in 1944.

But one of them will conduct a concert at the Community Arts Center on Oct. 9.

Still active at the robust age of 97, Col. Arnald D. Gabriel, USAF Ret., will lead the 11th annual Liberty Band Festival — a Williamsport event that draws dozens of musicians from such places as Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Florida, Texas, Missouri and Ontario.

Organized by members of Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band, and chaired by Repasz Business Manager Judy Shellenberger, the festival is a three-day affair, with intensive rehearsals on Friday night, all day Saturday and also Sunday morning — followed by a free public

concert at the CAC at 1:30 p.m. With many out-of-towners staying downtown at the Genetti Hotel, the event also includes a banquet on Saturday night.

“This year we have 105 musicians and 18 guests registered,” says Shellenberger. “They are outstanding players that come prepared by learning their music ahead of time. Col. Gabriel works his conducting magic and turns the notes into beautiful music.”

Indeed, the multi-award-winning Gabriel, who fought with the U.S. Army’s 29th Infantry Division in the Second World War, has conducted literally hundreds of bands — and done so in all 50 states during his staggering career. In fact, he has led so many groups through such a vast array of music that he generally conducts from memory — using no musical scores during practice or performance. Remarkably, however, this year’s program features four new pieces that Gabriel has never directed before.

Chosen partly by the conductor himself, with input from previous band members and from Shellenberger too, the 2022 concert will include the National Anthem, a Karl King march, “Irish Tune from County Derry,” Morton Gould’s “Pavane,” “Dam Busters March,” selections from “The Music Man” and Sibelius’ famed “Finlandia.”

Festival members also specifically chose a composition called “Blue Horizons.” Written for the U.S. Air Force Band — which Gabriel helmed for 21 years — the song contains

FAll mums

snippets of numerous USAF tunes. “It is a challenging but fantastic piece of music they are eager to perform,” says Shellenberger.

Giving a shout-out to fellow Repasz members Linda Kibbe, Jim Fink and Nancy Eischeid — all of whom helped organize this year’s Liberty Festival — Shellenberger also notes that due to COVID, the annual gathering has not occurred since 2019.

“Musicians from all over the country,” she says, “are very excited to be returning again this year and playing for a live audience.”

Rowley House Donation

Preservation

Williamsport, a 501c3 entity dedicated to preserving and protecting Williamsport’s architectural heritage, is excited to announce a major donation to the Rowley House Museum, 707 West Fourth St. in Williamsport.

It brings this group great pleasure to announce that a pair of rare Severin Roesen paintings have been donated by Bobby Maguire of Clinton County and Rose Valley. Mr. Maguire’s generosity and interest in local history are well known throughout the region. This pair of Roesen paintings were previously unknown and not on the local list of Roesen’s that have been cataloged and identified. The paintings are proudly displayed in the formal parlor at the Rowley House Museum.

The paintings were completed at a time when the Rowley House was a high Victorian mansion built by Edwin A. Rowley in 1888.

The paintings were formally unveiled at the Museum House on Wednesday, September 28, by the Preservation Williamsport Board of Directors. All Preservation Williamsport members were invited to attend. Mr. Maguire was in attendance for members to meet.

Additionally, Mr. Robert Kane, long-

time Curator of the Museum and local historian, presented these paintings’ significance to Williamsport. Of significance is the fact that both paintings are in their original frames. Incredibly, both paintings have original civil war era labels on their reverse, showing the gallery that sold them and its exact location in Williamsport. Roesen came to Williamsport in 1858. He was attracted to Williamsport because of its sophisticated and wealthy citizens. Being of German origin, Roesen was also attracted to the area by a significant population of German immigrants. Roesen set up a “bohemian” style loft in center city. He produced his largest quantity of painting over approximately a dozen or so years in Williamsport. He was clearly at the peak of his profession. Roesen paint-

ings were made famous and increased in value when First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy installed 3 Roesen paintings in the White House. Now there are Roesen still-life paintings in every major museum throughout the U.S.  The Rowley House Museum will open its doors to the public to enjoy these paintings through planned events, bus tours, and private tours, which can be requested at any time. Membership to Preservation Williamsport can be accessed on their website (PreservationWilliamsport.com). They have annual events throughout the year that are connected to historical sites throughout the city. Additionally, the annual

Victorian Christmas Tour is a Preservation Williamsport function provided by a dedicated group of volunteers known as the Victorian Christmas Committee.

“It’s

a whodunit; you’ve seen one, you’ve seen ’em all.”

Thus, says fictional director Leo Kopernick in the thoroughly entertaining new mystery “See How They Run.”

Though Leo makes this statement in a film that takes place 69 years ago, it’s a little misleading. “See How They Run” is by no means the sort of twisty, onestep-ahead-of-you thriller that’s become de rigueur for mysteries these days; but it is unique, and I simply loved it.

A potent mix of nostalgia, crime, comedy, and casting — with just a hint of romance — “See How They Run” won me over so completely that I can hardly wait to see it again.

Set in 1950s London, the movie stars Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan as, respectively, a world-weary Scotland Yard detective and his fresh-faced, overeager trainee; together, they investigate a backstage murder that occurred right after a live performance of Agatha Christie’s play “The Mousetrap.”

It seems someone didn’t want Kopernick to proceed with his planned film adaptation of the popular drama. But … whodunit? Was it the movie’s writer, with whom Leo had recently quarreled? Was it the play’s producer, on whom Leo has some serious dirt? Or was it something even more insidious involving one of the officers on the case? I was initially drawn to this film by

Rockwell, one of my favorite actors; but in the end, it was Ronan who stole my heart away. Oscar-nominated young veteran of such lauded films as “Atonement,” “Lady Bird,” “Brooklyn” and “Little Women,” Ronan here plays the engaging Constable Stalker, who blends meticulous attention to detail with comically guileless enthusiasm. Several times Rockwell’s more experienced Det. Stoppard must insist that she not jump to conclusions — yet she’s no dummy: With her difficult home-life as a single mom coming slowly into focus, we can see that this no-nonsense, working-class background is a fine counterbalance to Stoppard’s hard-drinking cynicism — that, in fact, they perfectly complement

one another as detectives. More important, each also begins to fill an empty space in the other’s lonely life.

Though Rockwell is terrific, I could have watched Ronan forever; even her simple act of sampling a lousy cup of tea is wondrous to behold.

The excellent cast also includes Adrien Brody; Ruth Wilson; David Oyelowo; Paul Chahidi as a sour-faced butler; and the redoubtable Shirley Henderson as a delightful late-film surprise that I won’t spoil.

The ultimate solution to the mystery is smart and unexpected; yet the movie never tries too hard. With its quiet comedy and low-key romance, at times it’s a throwback to the genre’s golden

age; and this feeling is greatly aided by nostalgic tunes and terrific period detail.

The movie also boasts a network of subtle puns and allusions — a few involving “Hamlet,” from which “The Mousetrap” got its name. One other cool example is the title, which ties various plot-strands to the rodents in “Three Blind Mice” and to the Beatles’ “Lady Madonna” (stockings and single moms figure in the story).

The Link Between Diet and Breast Cancer

Canceris an insidious disease that affects just about every part of the body, including the breasts. The World Cancer Research Fund International indicates there were more than 2.26 million new cases of breast cancer in women in 2020.

Women understandably want to learn what they can do to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer. One of the first considerations may be analyzing diet and determining if it is affecting breast

cancer risk.

A variety of factors affect a woman’s risk for developing breast cancer, and certain lifestyle choices, including diet, can play a role. However, according to Healthline, the risk factors with the biggest impact include sex, age and genetics. Lifestyle can influence breast cancer risk but not at the same levels as genetic markers, family history, gender, or age. However, women interested in doing all they can to stay healthy may want to take a closer

look at the foods and beverages that can adversely affect breast cancer risk.

Healthy diet

Healthy food choices are linked to lower incidences of cancer and other conditions. Susan G. Komen states that eating plenty of fruits and vegetables may be linked to a lower risk of developing breast cancer. A pooled analysis of data from 20 studies found women who ate the most vegetables had a lower risk of estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer (but not estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer) compared to women who ate the least vegetables, according to a 2013 report published in the Journal of the

National Cancer Institute. And it doesn’t really matter if produce is organic or not. According to the American Cancer Society, the benefits of eating fresh fruits and vegetables outweigh any health risks linked to pesticide residue. The complex relationship between fat, sugar and cancer

risk from being overweight or obese, after menopause, that risk increases, says Susan G. Komen. The risk is not directly related to fatty foods, however. The American Cancer Society says an examination of the amount of fat eaten by women in the United States found no link between fat and breast cancer risk.

Can you change the following wording

Though a single food will not lead to higher breast cancer risk, overeating and putting on excess weight can increase risk. That is why it is essential to get plenty of exercise each week and monitor calorie consumption. While women who are in their reproductive years may not see as much breast cancer

In addition, while consuming too much sugar may not be healthy in the long run, it’s a myth that “sugar feeds cancer.”

Eating sugar may lead to weight gain, which may increase the risk of breast cancer, says the ACS.

Alcohol consumption

One component of diet that has been

studied extensively is the effects of alcoholic beverages on breast cancer risk. Susan G. Komen reports that a pooled analysis of data from 53 studies found women who had two to three alcoholic drinks per day had a 20 percent higher risk of breast cancer compared to those who didn’t drink alcohol. Alcohol should be limited to one drink per day for the average woman, or none at all, if possible.

Diet is only one factor in the risk for developing breast cancer. While important, there are other components that increase risk by a more significant margin.

official; fall has finally begun! And for those of us who are fans of all-things autumn, the return of sweater weather brings forth a delightful sort of glee! As we settle into the season, I’ve been mulling over new ways to wear oversized sweaters.

While they might seem basic, oversized knits can create a relaxed

and incredibly versatile silhouette that comes across as effortlessly cool. And while a sweater may sound simple, it’s actually an item that takes shape in many forms, with various textures, colors, prints, and weights, each of which provides a completely different style vibe. You can create a look that evokes subtle luxury with a lightweight,

Bernadette

neutral-toned cashmere style or opt for a more playful effect with a bright, chunky-knit cardigan. There are endless options to choose from and endless ways to style them. Here’s a rundown of some sweater weatherinspired outfits for this fall.

Before storing your favorite summer dresses, determine which would be candidates for a layered autumnal look. A brightly colored maxidress with an equally as bright cozy oversized knit creates an unexpected everyday uniform. If you have a more minimalist style sense, try this outfit

combo with a slip or shirt dress and a neutral-hued sweater. Boots are a great way to toughen up both a statement as well as a subtle look. Knee-high, combat or cowboy boots will complete any dress-knit pairing.

While there are still a few warm afternoons in the forecast, try out a mini skirt with a cozy, oversized pullover and sneakers for the perfect transitional outfit. The look can have a hint of preppiness when worn with a collared shirt, which exudes nostalgia for school days and memories of falls past. But be careful you don’t go full-

blast into that past. Leave the plaid skirt in the closet; instead, opt for a black or navy straight skirt, and let the sweater be the statement piece. Go for a bright citrusy color, like orange or lime green. As the days get cooler, pair this look with opaque tights and boots.

For a more elevated look, pair a big knit with loose trousers and loafers. You can go with a traditional suiting pant, or for something a bit more edgy, try a wide-leg leather pant. I like the idea of a polo-style sweater with a collar tucked into a high-waisted

pant, with thick-soled loafers for work. A luxurious silk trouser and cozy sweater in the same color family with a ballet flat will have you stylishly set for a night out or in.

To achieve a more romantic look, pair a thick chunky cardigan with a delicate midi skirt or dress to create a feminine, elegant outfit. Give this girly ensemble some modern flair with slouchy suede boots. To add some dimension, throw on a belt — thick or thin — for a more polished version of this look. If you’re more of See OUTFITS on Page 44

OUTFITS

a jeans person, swap out the skirt for a pair of skinnies to tuck into the boot and take your cardigan out and about. If you find yourself sticking close to home this fall, don’t feel like you’re relegated to boring loungewear or sweatpants. You can still be cozy and stylish with a cable-knit turtleneck sweater and fleece leggings. You can also pair your sweater with performance or yoga leggings, but I prefer fleece for the chillier weather. Throw on a pair of hiking boots, and

you can easily transition this outfit from inside to an impromptu outdoor walk.

As cooler weather rolls around, hopefully, some of these outfit suggestions will inspire you this season to incorporate some luxuriously chunky, roomy sweaters into your daily rotation. Oversized knitwear is one of the easiest ways to adopt this season’s signature baggy look, as it’s the perfect balance of trend-driven and timeless.

“Fly Girl” by Ann Hood c.2022, W.W. Norton $26.95 269 pages

Cairo, San Juan, London, Dublin.

Sometimes, you just need to get outta Dodge and out of your comfort zone by spending time in totally different surroundings. Barbados, Rome, even a quiet cabin

across the state will work, if you’re in the right mood. Travel may be a little difficult these days, though, so how about some armchair travel? Read “Fly Girl” by Ann Hood and prepare for take-off.

Ever since she was a preteen, Ann Hood wanted to be a flight attendant. She also wanted to be a writer and she figured they’d go hand-in-hand: she’d travel on-thejob, around-the-world for free

See BOOKWORM on Page 46

and have “adventures” that would enhance her writing. That was the plan, and her dream never faded: when she was nearing college graduation and her parents asked her what she hoped to do with her English degree, she told them she was applying for flight attendant school.

She quickly found out that attending TWA’s flight school was harder than four years of college.

Hood and her classmates had to

learn how to deal with drunks and heart attacks. There were dozens of things to remember, from uniform codes to weight restrictions to knowledge of airport codes to menus. They had to learn how to carry trays and fill coffee cups while wearing high heels on a moving airplane.

There was so much to absorb, so much to know that Hood barely paid any attention to the talk of airline deregulation. She was more

focused on working her way up, learning to bid schedules, and doing the best job she could. Bonding with the other attendants was important. Keeping passengers safe and happy was, too, and the ability to fly free anywhere there was an airport kept her happy. Hood dated, enjoyed her life as a single woman of the world, started writing a novel, put it away, started another, and procrastinated.

And then deregulation actually happened, and Hood was furloughed for the long-term. She downsized, wondering if she’d ever

fly again, and she started writing in earnest.

“I had the best job in the world,” she said. Or maybe two of them...

Like most people with interesting careers, author Ann Hood says that folks ask her all the time for stories. If you’d like some, too, “Fly Girl” is a good answer.

Once not too long ago, flying was glamorous and special, with meal service, free drinks, and people dressed up to go. Hood’s stories casually straddle that, and the beginning of modern air travel, and

they go beyond the airport. There’s not a lot of tell-all – certainly, other books in this genre are juicier – but you won’t notice the lack of scandal much, since Hood’s life outside the cabin is more heavily featured here, and those stories are just as fun. It’s like lucking out and finding that your seatmate – the person you’re delayed with on the tarmac for the next hour-and-a-half – is a former attendant and is happily, wonderfully chatty.

So. Seat backs upright, tray tables locked, get “Fly Girl.” Buckle up.

Rethinking Anxiety

When

we think of anxiety, our minds instantly go to something negative, and that should be avoided at all costs. However, anxiety might not necessarily always be a bad thing. In a May 2022 interview with McKinsey Global Publishing, Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Hunter College, talks about how we can redefine our relationship with anxiety so that it works for and not against us. Den-

nis-Tiwary believes that anxiety is largely misunderstood and that we need to change our mindset when it comes to dealing with it. This feeling of nervousness and unease is not a breakdown in our emotional well-being but rather a useful tool that can help us survive and be innovative and find meaning. “We mental health professionals have unintentionally given people damaging information about anxiety,” says Dr. Dennis-Tiwary. In the interview, she goes on to say that there are two com-

monly held fallacies about anxiety. First, it is always a debilitating experience, and second, any anxiety experience is a malfunction.

Dr. Dennis-Tiwary believes that if we view anxiety as debilitating, then we must approach it as something to be prevented or eradicated, but that can actually make things worse. That the more we tend to avoid negative emotions, the more they tend to fester and become uncontrollable.

Instead, we should try to view these feelings as opportunities that allow us to think about the future and that they allow us to appreciate the good while learning from the bad. They can also inspire feelings of hope.

The other commonly held belief is that

anxiety is a malfunction in our emotional state and needs to be fixed. Instead, it should be viewed as a source of strength. We would do this by shifting our mindset. Instead of a view of weakness, we need to think of anxiety as a push to adapt and grow from our current situation. “While anxiety can often be extreme, that doesn’t mean that it’s a disorder,” says Dennis-Tiwary. “It’s not broken. It’s doing work for us.” She goes on to say that anxiety is part of being human. It is apprehension about some uncertainty that has yet to happen and that the future can be negative, positive, or both. Anxiety can actually be viewed as an advantage that may give us an opportunity to think about possible

“A smoke alarm analogy is helpful: if one goes off at home, you wouldn’t put in earplugs and move to another part of the house where you can’t hear it. At the very least, you’d check the batteries or see if there really is a fire. When we think of anxiety this way, that changes everything about how we face anxious moments, whether they’re controllable or not,” says Dennis-Tiwary.

So, rather than viewing anxiety as something to be avoided, try to view it as a signal to take action or prepare for a coming

event. Feelings of anxiousness tell us we care about something, so use them as a guide rather than suppressing them. They can signal that it is time to think about a possible scenario and be adaptable. If we rethink our thoughts on anxiety in general, we might see that it can be used positively and can serve us.

Research has shown that there are biochemical changes that come with anxiety that can be used to our advantage. “When we’re anxious, we are also more reward-focused. We have higher levels of dopamine in our brain, which we typically associate with experiencing something pleasurable or even addiction. Why does anxiety trig-

ger dopamine? Because dopamine helps us move toward positive outcomes.

It also triggers our social bonding hormone, oxytocin, which increases when we’re with someone we love or when a mother nurses her child. When we’re anxious, that hormone shoots up. Why? Because social connection is one of the best ways to manage our anxiety. We actually outsource our coping because social buffering is a very real phenomenon. Being able to reach out to others to whom we feel connected and who support us helps us dial down anxiety and use it in more positive ways. Anxiety, when we see it as a way to navigate uncertainty, carries its own solutions,” says Dr. Dennis-Tiwary.

When anxiety becomes negative, we need

to immerse ourselves in the present, as anxiety is an emotion tied to the future. When things become overwhelming, hit pause and take a breath. Take a moment to understand that whatever you are actually anxious about hasn’t happened yet and may never happen. Look at what is within your power to control and make course corrections if possible. Now that we have a better understanding of what anxiety is and is not, we can use it as an early warning system for course corrections for things we can change or as a source of resilience for things we cannot.

UPMC Expert: Health Screening Milestones for Women

Stephanie Paulhamus, PA-C Family Medicine, UPMC

never too late to begin building a strong foundation to protect your health now and in the future. Each section below provides suggestions of what to expect throughout the years of female health care. It’s important to note that personal factors may help determine the timing of each test or screening to meet your or a loved one’s specific health care needs.

Any Age

Every year, you should see your primary care provider for a general health examination. This will include a height, weight, and blood pressure screening, an annual immunization check, and notifying your care team of any updates to your medical history. This appointment is meant to review preventative health screenings and chronic medical problems; if you have additional issues don’t wait for your physical to schedule an appointment. In addition to seeing a primary care physician, it is suggested that you schedule a dental and eye exam annually. It is also suggested that any person 18 years of age or older is screened for Hepatitis C once in their lifetime. People born between 1945 to 1965 are at greatest risk and should be screened due to potential accidental

infection during medical procedures or receiving blood products.

21

This is the recommended age for starting cervical cancer screenings which are every three years through age 29. This changes to every five years starting at age 30. Repeat screenings may happen more frequently for abnormal results or your personal situation.

40s-60s

Now is the time to turn your awareness of good health into action. The screenings that began in your 20s will still be completed as you age. The following screenings and tests will be added to the list of exams mentioned before.

Mammograms are breast x-ray exams that screen breast tissue for abnormalities or variations that could indicate breast cancer or other breast diseases. Women should start getting mammograms at age 40. If there is a history of breast cancer in your family, you may need to be examined sooner.

Colonoscopies are diagnostic procedures that examine the lining of the large intestine (colon) for abnormalities (polyps). This procedure is recommended to start at age 45 instead of 50, but like mammograms, they may be suggested to you at an earlier age if there is a family history of colorectal cancer.

65+

This age range is the time for you to nurture your health and possibly mentor or motivate the next generation.Not only can you give help, but you can accept the additional tests that are suggested for this period of life.

A bone densitometry, or bone density scan, is a low dose examination x-ray that determines if you have osteoporosis, or fragile bones. Bone loss often accelerates at this time in life.

Over time, it is common for both women and men to experience loss of hearing. It is important to have hearing tests so that your older loved ones do not struggle with conversating with friends and family. This will help you to feel generally more connected.

Finally, it is advised that women around this age receive the pneumococcal and shingles vaccines. The pneumococcal vaccine helps mitigate diseases such as meningitis and pneumonia. The shingles or herpes zoster vaccine helps prevent shingles and shingles associated chronic pain syndrome.

No matter your age, if you have questions about your health, reach out to your primary care provider. They will listen to your concerns and offer you a personalized treatment plan if necessary.

WARNING!

Your personal phones and addresses have been given to unscrupulous people that will call you, send you mail, or even knock on your door! These people will tell you that you are missing important Medicare Benefits, and make it sound as if your local agent has done wrong by you. These people do not care about you, and are looking only to make money by convincing you to enroll into what they offer.

Your phones will ring! Your mailbox will be stuffed! And sneaky agents will unexpectedly knock at your door. Worse yet, TV ads, with spokespersons like Joe Namath, Jimmy Joe Walker, and Joan Lunden, for example, will make you think you are not getting what you are entitled to! They cannot be trusted. Deal locally, trust a broker/agent that has been in business for years and has served your needs. Because of these people, and the damage they have done, Medicare and the federal government are requiring all calls to be recorded by our office. This is an invasion of your privacy and was a direct result of the devious, lying people who are trying to scam you. So, don’t fall for their lying tactics, trust a local, honest agency that truly cares about you: BURNS INSURANCE SERVICES.

TheCouncil to Advance Hunting and Shooting

Sports recently released their 2022 Special Report on Hunting and the Shooting Sports, re vealing some rather interesting statis tics. It showed that hunting and target shooting participation diversity has increased in the U.S. over the past de cade. The report provides a compre

hensive look at the more than 30 mil lion Americans ages six and over who participated at least once in hunting or target shooting with both firearms and archery equipment in 2021. The report identifies trends and includes detailed information about participa tion, including motivations, barriers, and preferences of the participants.

While the Pennsylvania Game Com mission maintains records that reflect the up and down sales of hunting li

censes, this report reveals a broader overall picture in the short and long term that evaluates participation trends. Some of the more noteworthy of the statistics are as follows:

Archery Target Shooting:

1 – 2.4 percent of the U.S. population ages six and above participated in ar chery.

2 – 39 percent of participants were fe male, the highest since 2016.

3 – Archery shooters are slightly more diverse than firearms target shooters.

4 – “For recreation” was the number one motivation for target shooting.

5 – 19 percent of participants shot

solely on public property or ranges.

Firearms Target Shooting:

1 – 6.2 percent of the U.S. population ages six and above participated in tar get shooting.

2 – 32 percent of participants were female, up from 25 percent a decade ago.

3 – The number of target shooters who were Black or Hispanic increased by 5 percent and 4 percent, respectively, on average for the past three years.

4 – “For recreation” was the number one motivation for target shooting.

5 – “High cost” was the number one barrier reported to target shooting.

Hunting:

1 – 4.6 percent of the U.S. population ages six and above went hunting at least once.

2 – 27 percent of participants were female, up from 16 percent a decade ago.

3 – The number of hunters who were Black or Hispanic increased by 4 percent and 1 percent, respectively, on average for the past three years.

4 – “For food or meat” was the number one motivation for hunting.

5 – 49 percent of hunters first participated before the age of 18.

6 – 68 percent of hunters were introduced to hunting by a family member.

And there you have it. But what do all these statistics mean, and how are they useful?

Today in America, where hunting and the shooting sports are an integral part of mainstream culture, hunters and shooters are widely recognized as premier conservation contributors. Data such as the above will help promote and grow the hunting and shooting sports and further educate the public on the contributions hunters and shooters make toward wildlife conservation.

To some, most of the data provided in this report is merely information to be bantered about at hunting

camp over the next several months. But to those who have a serious concern about the future of these sports, as we all should, by to those who may find themselves speaking to groups of folks about the importance and benefits of hunting and shooting, these statistics can help support the information you present.

Sure, not everyone is going to be a public speaker, but anyone talking to a new or newly interested hunter or shooter might benefit from sharing a few of these statistics in support of the promotion of the sports.

In today’s world, where politics seems to be increasingly infesting more aspects of our lives, including the pastimes we enjoy, it is important to be well armed with information in support of our sports.

More often than not, when someone opposes the shooting sports and hunting, they simply don’t have the “big picture” and usually are not aware of just how many benefits to wildlife conservation rests heavily on the shoulders of hunters and shooters.

By arming yourself with some of the above statistics, you will become a better advocate for hunting and shooting and thus help ensure that these sports will be around for future generations to enjoy.

Justrecently, Webb Weekly’s editor, Steph Nordstrom, hit me with the question, “Where does one hunt if they don’t have access to someone’s private property?”

That’s actually a very interesting and pertinent question that’s probably worth exploring a bit. Having a place to hunt may be one of the main reasons why getting people into hunting these days seems to be more of a challenge. I haven’t researched the numbers lately, but it appears there are fewer people, especially young people, expressing an interest in hunting. One of the reasons I often hear when people tell me they have lost interest in hunting is that they no longer have a place to go hunting since they have been denied access to private grounds they could formerly hunt.

I understand; I do not own any hunting grounds either, and over the years, I have lost access to a considerable amount of land that I once hunted. Fortunately, I have a couple of local spots that I can still access, but over the years, I have also made use of a lot of public hunting grounds.

There’s no question the hunting scene

has changed, but there are still opportunities available. Yes, I know it’s far different than having access to private ground where you can put trail cameras all over the place, plant food plots, keep other people away and have treestands in every likely spot, but it’s still possible to have a successful hunt.

I did a little checking and found that state game lands provide more than 1.5 million acres of public land access. These game lands are spread out all over the state, and some are pretty sizeable, especially in our area. Granted, if you are hunting deer or maybe turkeys, it might be a good idea to plan to do some serious hiking.

I remember one year hiking way back in and way up as well, but I was rewarded with a shot at a good gobbler. If you’re hunting small game like rabbits and squirrels, I doubt that going way back in is a requirement since it seems that most small game don’t get the pressure that deer or turkeys get. In addition to state game lands, there is also a pretty good amount of state forest lands available for hunting, and even some state parks allow some limited

hunting and trapping. Check with the Bureau of State Parks to be sure you are on the right track if you plan to hunt a state park.

In the meantime, the Bureau of Forestry welcomes hunters and trappers on more than 2.2 million acres of state forests, and here again, some of these areas are very large in size. To be honest, I would bet that some of these larger state forests seldom see many hunters, especially higher up and farther back.

Some of my earliest deer hunting was done on state forest lands in Clearfield County, and yes, I managed to take a few deer; I was back in aways, and it took some time and effort to get my

deer out, but it was worth it.

Keep in mind, if you plan to hunt these public lands, there are rules and regulations that must be followed.

One big question is, what about the use of ground blinds and treestands?

Ground blinds and treestands may be placed on state forest lands, but they are subject to certain requirements. For further information and details, go to www.dcnr.pa.gov or call your nearest forestry office.

The point is even if you don’t own your own hunting grounds, you can still find some good hunting; granted, it may take a little more walking, but it’s out there.

Saturday Football

Beforethere were Friday Night Lights, there was Saturday afternoon football. In many communities around the area, the high school game in the daytime was The thing to do.

Perhaps like no other locale, the era of daytime dominance was most prevalent in Mill Hall during the 1960s & ’70s as Walt Diehl’s Bald Eagle Nittany Panthers routinely clawed opponents venturing onto their Clinton County feeding ground. While those traditions have become a thing of the past, our Bradford County neighbors in Canton have made it a point to keep that bygone tradition alive.

Miller A. Moyer Field was lit up with lights a few years ago, but the community continues to be treated to what-once-was by scheduling one Saturday afternoon game each year. This year that game was played on autumn’s first Saturday as the state’s number one Class A ranked Warriors humbled South Williamsport 50-0 on a Norman Rockwell-like afternoon.

For the community’s rabid fans, the atmosphere was much to their liking. At the gate, ticket-taker Nancy Neff was emblematic of the day’s proceedings.

“It’s good for the community, and

it brings a lot of people out. We see families and a lot of grandparents, and it is a good enjoyment on a Saturday. A lot of people like the day games.”

In the south end zone parking lot Becky Bellows, mother of senior standout Weston Bellows was setting up a tailgate spread.

“We started tailgating four years ago when our boys moved up to varsity, and we’re right here before every home game. Football is ingrained in our community. It brings the community together and provides support for the kids. I graduated from Canton and was used to the Saturday games, and it is neat to see a game on Saturday. I don’t know if the boys love it because they are used to a certain routine, and this goes against that norm for them. But for me, Saturday games bring out many memories of the past, and the sun is shining, so it is a good day.”

In the north end zone, Jason Ward was at work grilling hamburgers and hot sausage.

“Football is pretty popular in Canton, and I enjoy Saturday games. I played here when all the games were in the daytime, so to me, this is carrying on a tradition. However, Friday night games are fun, so I’ll be here whenever they play.”

Scott Lowery

Cheerleader advisor Mikayla Davis was quick to chime in.

“Many people like the Saturday games, but I just graduated a few years ago, so I was used to Friday night games. But, last year, our football team went above and beyond, and it has generated a lot of community support and interest. I think the fans will come out whenever the games are played. For our girls, the best part is winning. When the team wins, the girls are excited to be here.”

On this afternoon, Canton was inducting four new members to its Warrior Hall of Fame.

“It is something we have done every year since 2010,” explained Boo Perry, Canton quarterback from 1989-91, who later

starred at Wilkes.

“We select between two and four guys each year to honor those players from Canton football’s past. You don’t play for yourself. You play for people who have been before you, and you play for each other. Things are different today than they used to be, and by honoring past players, we can help show today’s players what it really is all about.

“Football means a lot to Canton, and I mean a lot. This is the only ticket in town. People are off work. They can come here, have a good time and see a good football game on a Saturday afternoon. This is the way it was for years. On those Saturday games, you would see jerseys from Troy, Wyalusing, Towanda, and other northern

tier towns on the sidelines watching Canton play football.

“To do this once a year, I have mixed emotions about it. I’m glad they went to Friday night football; it was time. However, I grew up with Saturday football and had great memories, so I kind of wish it would stay that way. Some people were upset with the change to Friday night, while others welcomed it with open arms. I understand there are other things going on Saturday afternoons, and I’m not the one to give you a good answer for the change, but Saturday football is something I enjoy.”

In the press box Peter G. (Geanacopoulos) has been affiliated with Canton football since the 1970s and has served as the

public address announcer for 23 years.

“We’ve always liked the fall days, and I think most people prefer to come out on a Saturday. Up here and in the stands, you can see much better. You can see the numbers better and see the kids and that smell in the air of the turning of the leaves.

“Canton is a small school, and over the years, we’ve had our ups and downs. A lot of the schools we play are larger, but we have been able to hold our own. We have that reputation as being the big old farm boys, but in the last couple of years, we’ve enjoyed great success. If we are gonna go, this is the year. The stars are aligned, we hope. It means a big deal to the community.”

Thisweek’s column has little to do with sports. We didn’t have a golf match, and I didn’t make the cut. Since I have been scribing part-time for the past sixteen seasons — my lovely editor allows me to freelance. My family and I are now tackling a major construction project. And since I have the required permits in hand — I guess we can go public. Obtaining these documents was quite the tale. But that is a story for another time, kids.

We have been entertaining this idea for quite some time. My parents are currently living in West Hollywood, CA. They are both retired. Jim and Gail sold the farm and headed west five years back. They are helping raise my two beautiful young nephews. Their plan is to stay until Frankie and Luke both reach kindergarten. And then they hope to travel back and forth as long as they are able. My rents are totally set in CA. My sister inherited all the good genes, and she does extremely well. Now for their spot here in Lycoming County. I encouraged them to buy a rustic cabin. That idea was quickly shot down. There is still time to reconsider. We briefly considered an upgrade. But we absolutely love where we reside. Moving is not an option. Adding on was the winner, and we started the process of finding a contractor. I would say that I know several guys who owe me a favor. Some called back. Others

priced it heavily. Look, I get it. Who in their right mind would build during a pandemic?

Then it was decided. My father and a few of his chums were looking for a challenge. Believe it or not, Big Jim has already built two of our houses. One in Minnesota. The other is in Montana. Both structures are still standing. He is like many of his great generation. Jim knows his stuff, and he isn’t afraid to tackle a large project. I had total confidence in my pops, but Teach was somewhat puzzled.

YOUR DAD IS ALMOST SEVENTY. YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HIM ON A LADDER?

We had some delays with permits, and everyone is quite busy. My father was hoping to start sooner than later. But unfortunately, we had to push everything to September. I am very thankful for my dad, and I plan to chronicle this entire experience. Oh, it is trending.

Day 1. He Made it.

Big Spence drove 2,700 miles cross country. West Hollywood, CA, to Williamsport in less than 52 hours. He relied on a few Walmart parking lots for sleep. The van is packed with tools and four good-sized windows that he scored at a Lowes en route. Who shops in Missouri? My pops. What a character. We have accumulated all kinds of gear over the past few months, and the permit

is finally in hand. Jim is serving as our master contractor. Sorry folks. He will be quite busy. In fact, he is only allowed to see his friends on Tuesday mornings.

We were all very surprised to see him. He was hoping to make it by Saturday. Jim said hello to his grandson and took a quick shower. But now he is currently playing with our breaker.

YES. THE LIGHTS ARE OFF. TURN THEM BACK ON. JIM? TURN THEM BACK ON. JIM?

Day 3. Adjusting.

Big Spence is rolling. Jim borrowed a few tools and tore down a wall to make way for the new hall. Jensen got home to find his room in complete shambles. Poor kid. The text messages and videos from him are hilarious.

HE DIDN’T EVEN ASK ABOUT SCHOOL. HE TOLD ME TO GRAB A HAMMER. MY XBOX STILL ISN’T WORKING.

Day 6. YouTube

Big Jim continues to roll. He’s barking out orders, cutting wires, and tearing down walls. Spence is keeping us super busy and always needs some help. We do most of our damage after a long and stressful day at work. Jensen, Teach, and I are doing our best. No second thoughts

here. We are so glad we decided not to pay someone to do this when Jim Spencer feels confident after watching a few clips on YouTube — digging a big hole very soon. Oh. Don’t worry. We actually hired someone for that.

Day 8. Amish Relations.

I had to swing by S&J Woodworking to touch base on a few jobs. I asked my father if he wanted to tag along. He has heard many tales about my talented bearded friends. I thought this would be a great opportunity for him to experience it firsthand.

Jonas gave us a quick tour of his surroundings. He also introduced him to all of the busy workers. Big Jim is now well versed in building cabinets without electricity. Oh. They absolutely loved his sense of humor. My friends couldn’t stop laughing. Jonas quickly noticed our similar size, looks, antics, and attire. Shorts and a Patagonia fleece with a ball cap, baby.

YES. JAMIE AND I ARE A LOT ALIKE. WE EVEN WEAR THE SAME CLOTHES. WE ARE JUST LIKE YOU GUYS.

To be continued, I am sure. Don’t get me wrong. We love having Jim Spencer around. This will be a fun memory with several ups and downs. It will require a great deal of patience. We remind ourselves daily. Jensen is being a great sport thus far. He is learning a great deal. Hopefully, he will cherish this experience of building with Grandpa. Cheers.
