As I watched the report of Polish President Andrzej Duda pledging four MiG 29 fighter jets to Ukraine, I realized this high-stake game of poker had just been raised significantly. This made Poland the first NATO country to actually step forward to provide Ukraine fighter jets. In a twist of irony, the MiGs are actually Russian-made. Ukraine President Vladimir Zalinski has been all but begging President Joe Biden for the air support needed to defend his country for months.
I’m sure this decision had to be discussed with the NATO nations at the highest level, and President Biden must have signed off on this for it to move forward. The attempt to be involved in the war between Ukraine and Russia but not escalate the tensions to World War status just became much tougher for the Biden administration.
Last week had already been tumultuous on the worldwide stage. A US M9 Drone was intercepted by a Soviet SU72 fighter over the Crimean Peninsula. The unmanned drone was eventually bumped in the rear propeller, crashing it into the Black Sea. It has been reported that the Soviets have nuclear submarines changing points of
deployment off both American coasts.
With the recent spy-balloon incident, our Nation cannot just dismiss this as normal Soviet tactics to antagonize. It must be considered a more significant threat than just rattling our Navy’s cage.
North Korea and leader Kim Jong-un continue to move forward with a nuclear weapon program. It should come as no surprise they test-fired a missile this past week. What made this a little more alarming was the fact that it was a long-range ballistic missile fired in response to South Korean President Suk Yeol’smeeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. It was the first time in 12 years leaders from the two countries met. It was being viewed as a mending the fences summit. This was made necessary by the threat of China to both.
The missile test off the east coast of North Korea was claimed a success by Kim Jongun. The missile eventually targeted and crashed into the Sea of Japan. This was not only an attempt to show the world what they now possess but signifying their allegiance with China. North Korea worries me as much as any National threat due to the instability of Kim Jong-un.
That gets me back to the four fighters pledged to Ukraine by Poland. You knew a Soviet and Chinese response would
follow, and it came almost immediately. China’s President Xi Jinping would be traveling to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin. They would have a 3-day conference that is probably already done as you read this. China has claimed in the past they wanted to negotiate peace between Ukraine and Russia; I’m sure that’s what this is about.
These are only a few events that happened in the absence of world diplomacy this past week, but I hope this catches you up. As nations align themselves with each other, and in the case of South Korea and Japan, realign themselves, we move closer to the point of no return. This is where a single international incident could set off a catastrophic chain reaction.
What do you think the average life expectancy of those MiG fighters promised Ukraine will be once they leave Poland? They will become an immediate target to the Soviets and a prize to any pilot that shoots them down.
A more important question may be, what happens when one is shot down? What will President Biden’s and NATO’s reaction be then?
Maybe even more worrisome may be what occurs the next time a Russian Fighter perpetrates an act of aggression on an American aircraft; maybe this one will actually have a pilot flying it.
This I can tell you with unwavering certainty — we are at a point in American history when we need the best leadership possible. We need the most qualified Americans serving in the most important positions. The adversity and division created over every issue must end.
Our leadership must put aside their differences and unite in the name of Freedom.
This is really not the column I wanted to write this week. I wanted to talk about all the great accomplishments happening across our area. The great wrestling efforts as featured on our cover; the amazing seasons had by local basketball teams. St. John Neumann and Meadowbrook Christian girls are still playing for a state championship. The Jersey Shore Bulldog ladies smiling and thanking all those that support their great season, as in the ad below, is much better than talking about Russia, China, or North Korea.
I penned this because I feel we all have a responsibility to our future generations to provide the best Nation possible. I believe that together, our Nation can accomplish anything, including taking on the world problems of today. However, we must get things turned around from the current direction we’re heading.
When a team wins a championship, it doesn’t happen by accident; it is accomplished by a group of individuals working together for a common goal. This is a lesson of urgency we all need to realize.
God Bless America.
On behalf of the Jersey Shore Girls Basketball Program, its players and families, we would like to humbly thank the entire community for their support this past season.
appreciate the time, dedication, resources, and efforts of everyone who are helping keep our youth active!

Historically, North Central PA has been known for great wrestling, and this year was no different. Area wrestlers Cael Nasdeo, Williamsport, and Luke Simcox, Central Mountain, both had great regular seasons only to be capped by winning the ultimate prize, a class AAA title in Hershey.
Cael Nasdeo, a senior committed to wrestle at Penn State, won gold at 121 pounds, beating Mason Zeigler of Quakertown with a 4-0 decision. Nasdeo finished the state tournament by giving up only 2 points, both calculated escapes, in the entire tournament. Nasdeo came into the tournament with a 32-5 regular season record, most by pin, and first place in both districts and regionals. Nasdeo finished his senior season 36-5.
“He’s always been a worker and has put his time in,” said Brian Nasdeo, Cael’s coach and father. “The difference this year was he took off some time to get healthy.” Coach Nasdeo went on to say Cael expected to win
his matches this year. “His focus has always been to get better. He spent a lot of time in State College working on takedowns and being on bottom. He was able to spend time with Olympiclevel wrestlers. Cael also got bigger and stronger.”
When asked what he thought what was responsible for his success this year, Cael Nasdeo said, “Like my dad said, I took some time off over the summer and fall to get healthy.” When asked how he spent his training time and what he did to recover from all of his hard work, Cael responded, “I went to a lot of chiropractic appointments as well as some physical therapy. I also went to State College four days a week to train.
“I worked with pretty much everyone. Worked on bottom and hand fighting on my feet.” Cael expressed his gratitude to everyone that helped him win but especially wanted to thank his coach and father, “I’d like to thank my
dad for pushing me and getting me to this point.”
Another area wrestler to take gold in Hershey was Luke Simcox at 133 pounds. The junior, with a verbal commitment to the University of Pennsylvania, beat Maddox Shaw of Thomas Jefferson 1-0 to win the title.
“I’d have to say that Luke did all the little extra things necessary to win, like diet and mental prep,” said Jesse Simcox, Luke’s father. “Luke also had a tremendous amount of support behind the scenes.
M2 practices were big. Biff Walizer, Dylan Capria, Doug Buckwalter, Steve Crouse, Mike Brown, David Taylor, Mark McKnight, and Brad Pataky all contributed to Luke’s success. When asked how he felt about his son winning the AAA title, Jesse said, “I must say I am in awe as a dad. He had the mindset of a state champion. He was zoned in. He wrestled up in weight sometimes, which well-prepared him for states. He would say to me, “I’m winning the state medal this year.” His attitude and his mind were focused, and he did everything right.”
Nicole Simcox was also immensely
proud of her son. When asked if she was the one to help with cooking and meal prep when Luke needed to cut weight, Nicole responded, “The credit for meal prep goes to my husband, Jesse. He was the wrestler and was largely responsible for helping Luke with diet. He knew when Luke needed to eat lighter, add protein, or hydrate better. My job seemed to be more of keeping a positive environment. I was the cheerleader and worked to keep Luke in a positive headspace.”
“This year, I ate healthy, got lots of sleep, and made sure to turn in my school work on time, so I had time to train,” said Luke Simcox. When Luke’s reputation for being able to ride opponents was mentioned, he said that he practices with good partners and also worked a lot on the bottom. “Riding and bottom are my two best spots,” said Luke. “Though I always feel I can score more points when I’m on top.”
When asked why he chose U Penn, the junior responded, “The last year or two, I decided to major in business in college. I have a small business on the side and have traded some stocks. I liked what the coaches at Penn said, and it seemed like a good fit.” Luke went on to say that U Penn has one of the best business schools in the world. “I’d like to thank Coach Walizer
and Coach Capria, Dalton Penny, Griffon Walizer, my teammates, and my family, and all of my other coaches.
Simcox finished this season with a record of 42-4, where he won districts and regionals. Simcox placed 5th last year at states.
If the street departments in Montgomery and Muncy have not yet done so, it might be time to start planning for the additions of Harer Avenue and Johnson Drive in their respective communities; or perhaps renaming Route 405 connecting the two towns Wrestling Way.
For the second consecutive year, the names Harer and Johnson stood on the highest Chocolate Town podium as each received their gold medals for their championship performances in the PIAA State wrestling tournament held earlier this month. Montgomery junior Conner Harer won the 152-pound crown marking his second straight state title after winning at 145 pounds last year. Muncy sophomore Austin Johnson emerged as his family’s second state champion, winning the title at 215 pounds.
It was a bit of an ‘all-in-the-family’ affair as both Conner and Austin were joined by their brothers Brandt and Scott at the Hershey mat fest. Brandt Harer capped off his freshman season
with a second-place finish at 121 pounds. Scott Johnson fell just short of repeating his 2022 state championship, earning a third-place medal at 133 pounds.
While all gold medals are most memorable, Harer’s 3-2 decision over Warrior Run’s Cameron Milheim was extremely satisfying. It marked the sixth time this season he has triumphed over his neighboring District IV opponent.
“What people don’t realize is when you wrestle someone six straight times, it’s hard,” Harer said following the match. “I found a way to win six straight times against a league wrestler, so I just want people to know that it’s not a fluke. I came here for gold, and I got it.
“Last year, I won my first one, and I found it to be awesome, but this year I knew a lot of people were coming after me. I had to wrestle an elite opponent six weekends in a row, but I found a way to stick to what I’m good at and find a way to win.”
The training regimen that is Harer’s year-long companion provided a smooth transition moving up a weight to 152 pounds this season. He earlier explained his dietary discipline to Webb Weekly.
“I have always trained hard and watched my diet. I keep my diet
simple. I eat three or four times a day, but it is always healthy eating, making sure that I put the right food in my body so that it comes out the right way. My eating habits are very basic because my stomach isn’t used to junk food and stuff.”
With two consecutive state titles under his belt, both the pressure and opponents’ eagerness to knock him off will make Harer a marked man as he enters his senior season. However, with a combined bout record of 95-1 the past two years and 132 wins during his outstanding high school career, the hard-nosed Red Raider will be ready for the awaiting challenges.
Making his second trip to Hershey Muncy, sophomore Austin Johnson was determined to duplicate his brother’s gold medal success of a year ago. Bigger and possessing a much different wrestling style than his older brother, his mere physical presence is an imposing figure.
The 215-pounder captured his first PIAA state title after a second-place finish last year. Austin began his title search with three major decision victories before outscoring Central Valley’s Brenan Morgan 10-7 to claim gold and cap off a perfect 39-0 record. In his first two seasons of varsity wrestling, his overall record is 80-2.
“It was a tough match,” he admitted
to the gathered media. “I was tired, and my emotions started getting to me a little bit. Our team faced a lot of adversity getting to states. I’m glad it’s over, and I got my gold medal. My family, friends, and coaches have helped me all the time. It feels good
Austin becomes the eighth wrestler in school history to capture a state wrestling crown. He joins his brother, Scott, Bryon Dugan, Mick Hill, Larry Lauchle, Zach Strickland, Ryan Hembury, and Joe Klock in that select
The addition of more gold to the Indians trophy case is a product of hard work, explained Muncy athletic
“It is not easy to become a state champion. It takes a great deal of dedication, discipline, and training to get on the podium in the PIAA state championships. Austin has worked extremely hard in the weight room to become the athlete you see competing on the wrestling mat and on the football field. We are extremely proud that he was able to accomplish his mission of bringing home a gold medal. Our town has a rich wrestling history, and Austin and his brother Scott have carried on that tradition over the last few years, which has been fun to watch.”

The men and women who fought and died in the Vietnam War are probably the most underappreciated and underrecognized of American veterans. Largely because they were involved in the most controversial war in American history. In a bid to reverse the injustice done to these veterans, a
Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day was established.
Vietnam Veteran Recognition Day will be commemorated on March 29, 2023. This day was selected in large part because on that day 50 years ago, March 29, 1973, the last U.S. combat troops were withdrawn from Vietnam, and some of the last U.S. prisoners held by the North Vietnamese were released. Vietnam War Veterans Day was first
observed as a one-time occasion on March 29, 2012, when President Barack Obama issued a proclamation calling on “all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.”
The day was then introduced as an annual event in 2017 when President Donald Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017.
According to Lycoming County Veterans Affairs Director Mike McMunn, himself a Vietnam Veteran, due to the lack of accurate records, it is not possible to know how many men and women from Lycoming County served during the Vietnam War, but needless to say, it was in the tens of thousands. During that period, the draft was in effect, so men either enlisted or were drafted.
Forty-three Lycoming County men died during the war, including one who is listed as “missing in action – body not recovered.” That man was Major James M. Gehrig, a B-52 pilot whose aircraft crashed in the South China Sea following a mid-air collision.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has issued a formal proclamation designating
March 29 as Vietnam Veteran Recognition Day, and the Lycoming County Commissioners are also planning to issue a proclamation.
McMunn, having served as an Army advisor with the South Vietnamese Army, recounts serving with thousands of individuals whose lives were interrupted by the war taking place halfway around the world in a place most had never heard of. Mike states that he is proud of his service and that of all who served.
“The residuals of the war are seen every day in the Veterans Affairs office where veterans apply for compensation for their service-connected disabilities. Men and women regularly file for benefits for post-traumatic stress disorder, disabilities related to the effects of Agent Orange, and the residuals of combat injuries. Every day is Vietnam Veteran Recognition Day in the Veterans Affairs office,” McMunn told Webb Weekly.
When March 29 comes around, remember and honor these underappreciated veterans of an unpopular war who just as much gave “the last full measure of devotion” as those of any other American war.

Another Upward basketball season is in the books, and once again, I had just a wonderful time coaching the kids — 4th, 5th, and 6th graders — entrusted to me. I also did a little refereeing of the games I did not coach.
In Matthew 19, 14, Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” This biblically based sports program does just that as it mixes a quality
blend of Xs and Os with a modicum of Bible teachings — something we all could stand a little more of these days. It is a competitive environment, but not overly so at this age, with a healthy emphasis on sportsmanship, teamwork, accountability, and respect for each other, their coaches, and especially the volunteer referees. LOL. Many coaches in my basketball career brought these life-skills values to me. My goal as a coach has always been to pass those life skills along to those I am
privileged to coach or just teach. Upward provides just that kind of supportive environment. If we can instill in our kids these life values through programs such as these, not just the Xs and Os, they will be more likely to carry these over to their non-sport lives. Just think what a much better world this would be.
The volunteer coaches and referees who generously gave of their time over the 12-week session are to be commended for their obvious love of the game, but more importantly, the love and attention they show the children under their care. Some old friends participated as coaches this year, and it was a nice opportunity to renew some friendships that, unfortunately, often get pushed to the back burner due to that timeconsuming thing called life. The Saturday games are very well attended and, as last year, provided a chance to meet various people there
for their kids, grandkids, or I suspect greatgrandkids, as the kids dribble, double dribble, walk, and sometimes run with the ball down the court. Some good-natured heckling as I missed or blew a call while refereeing was to be expected, totally appropriate, and unembarrassingly accepted.
Lastly, to the parents who enrolled their sometimes fragile kids in the program, I applaud you. I remember the feelings and how hard it is as you let your young kids be guided, maybe for the first time, by some person you’ve just met who tells your kids to call them coach! Be assured that all the coaches at Upward take this responsibility very seriously. Still, it’s somewhat traumatic to see your child try and fail at a skill, or get knocked to the floor in a mad scramble for the ball, or not to score in a game. But it’s amazing to me, as I’m sure it is to you, and so gratifying to see your youngster keep working at that skill until they get it right, pick themselves off the floor and get back in the mix, score that first basket and light up like a 100-watt light bulb — it’s why I coach!
See you next year! Coach Paul.
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20
It is very important that you do not count your chickens before they hatch, Aries. Something you suspected was a sure thing may not pan out this week.
TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21
You have a secret desire that you want to let out, Taurus. But you’re not sure of the timing. Stop letting your head dictate your heart and put plans into action.
GEMINI – May 22–Jun 21
Friendships could falter due to your insecurities, Gemini. Others want to be around you for good reason. Try to see the value in relationships and make the effort to socialize.
CANCER – Jun 22–Jul 22
Cancer, you could be defeating your own efforts this week. There may be something telling you that you’re not good enough to go for your goals. A pep talk can put you back on course.
LEO – Jul 23–Aug 23
There’s a fresh development in your love life coming down the pike, Leo. Romantic feelings solidify and you might be in for some exciting adventures in the weeks to come.
VIRGO – Aug 24–Sept 22
Virgo, the crowd around you may not be the support system you need right now. Making new friends can be tough, but it’s worthy pursuit at this point.
LIBRA – Sept 23–Oct 23
Libra, no matter how much you want to spend time with family or friends right now, work seems to draw you away. Focus on finding more balance.
SCORPIO – Oct 24–Nov 22
You might be feeling fed up with the pace of lessons being taught to you, Scorpio. If the teacher or mentor simply isn’t effective, then you might need to find a new educator.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23–Dec 21
Sagittarius, it might seem like having the utmost control sets you up for security, but that’s not always the case. Being too controlling may push others away.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22–Jan 20
This may be an emotional week for you, Capricorn. Your relationship will have to weather a few storms before things right themselves again.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21–Feb 18
Poor habits can keep you from getting where you want to go, Aquarius. A friend or family member may need to step in to show you where you could be going wrong.
PISCES – Feb 19–Mar 20
Help a partner heal by being sensitive to his or her suffering. You may not know all the ins and outs, but being supportive can help greatly.
I could not hear in my left ear and it felt like I had water stuck in my right ear. I tried many things at home and nothing seemed to work until I went to see Jen at Artisan Hearing Technologies. She offered a quick and painless way to remove my earwax, and now I can hear! Thank you Jen!
Now that we have turned the clocks ahead and spring has officially begun let’s turn our gaze away from the weather and toward something shiny, like jewelry! Jewelry trends are odd in that they come partially from the runways and partially from consumer factors. My favorite type of trend, be it jewelry or otherwise, originates with a designer show but then gets a street-style type of spin, making it chic but also accessible. Here’s a rundown of some upcoming jewelry trends this spring!
Bernadette Ulsamer
outfit. Plus, there is versatility in floral-theme baubles. You can wear them delicately like flower-shaped stud earrings or with some pizazz like an oversized daisy-shaped cocktail ring or floral-themed statement necklace. I also love the idea of birth flower jewelry, whether it be in a pendant or a signet ring. March’s flower is the daffodil, with the aforementioned daisy standing in for April and the lily of the valley for May.
If I may quote Miranda Priestly from e Devil Wears Prada, “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.” Yes, floral motifs in clothing and accessories for the spring months can come off a bit too-on-the-nose; however, they are ideal for adding whimsy and color to any springtime
Blooming baubles aren’t the only trend that brings color into your springtime look. Colored stones of all shades are gaining popularity here as we turn toward warmer(ish) weather. Green, especially, is standing out. Whether you have access to actual emeralds or mint-green enamel, you can incorporate a bit of the freshness of the season with some green stones. In fact, May’s birthstone is
emerald, perfect timing!
Wrists have been ignored here these past few years, but they are making a comeback in bold cuffs, bangles, and watches. Cuffs can either be highshine and sleek or beaded and bohemian. Bangles can be layered on one arm or wear matching sets on both wrists. For watches, go classic with a metallic linked strap and a tone-ontone face. Or, if you are looking to make a statement, consider scouring the thrift stores for a vintage watch
and have it repaired. There is a bit of a gamble with that, but it will be worth it as you distinguish your wrist this season.
Speaking of being distinctive, each season, one classic jewelry style tends to shine a bit brighter than the rest. For this season, it’s the tennis necklace. Whether worn on its own or layered with other chains or pendants, a tennis necklace will add a touch of sparkle to any outfit. Another classic on-trend this season are
pearls. Chokers, necklaces, earrings, rings, and broaches, if they feature a pearl, they’ll add a bit of polish to everyday looks. With this trend, try to subvert the grandmother association with pearls and wear them more casually with jeans, leather jackets, and tees-shirts.
From the wrist and neck to the ears. Shoulder-grazing earrings, when long, lean, and slinky, not only make a statement, they can also make a movement with natural ease. This trend focuses on tiered and dangling earrings that can consist of hoops,
feathers, or stones. The trick is not to get overwhelmed by the size and movement of look-at-me earrings. For myself, not having pierced ears, I’m sticking to my clip-on studs.
While I write this, the sun is shining, but knowing Pennsylvania spring, a snow flurry may be on the horizon well into May. So, while the weather shifts with temps going up and down, you can still celebrate the ideal spring with some of these jewelry trends.

By Larry Stout
This month marks the third anniversary of the shutdowns from the COVID virus. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Almost immediately, Governor Wolf announced that Pennsylvania needed a two-week pause to ‘flatten the curve’ to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Maybe it was because it was announced on a Friday, the 13th, that initially caused me to be concerned about this action. The Lycoming County Commissioners expressed in their meeting the following week their full but reluctant compliance. It was agreed that these shutdowns were necessary because we needed to “follow the science.”
I would not call myself a scientist, but I have studied and taught at a graduate level in the field of psychology and have written and evaluated more than my share of scientific studies. There was something that did not pass the smell test for me concerning COVID-19. It started with the source of this virus. Our federal government initially pushed very hard to convince the public that this was a natural virus. Yet there were a number of scientific studies that had already
come out identifying the source as the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. To give just one example, the Wuhan Institute was identified from a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March 2020 by Chinese researchers themselves. The conspiracist side of my brain believed that there were more political concerns than health concerns in trying to minimize the Chinese responsibility for this pandemic. But what happened after this was much, much worse. The “two weeks to flatten the curve” quickly evaporated as the restrictions grew and grew and grew.
There is no need to review all the disruptions in business, commerce, supply chain, and especially education that resulted from these shutdowns. Unless you have been living on an uninhabited island for the past three years, you have been impacted by these measures by the local, state, and federal governments. And all of these were justified in the name of “science.”
However, during all this time, there have been those who have challenged this narrative. The Great Barrington Declaration was published in October of 2020, authored by three highly respected scientists from the University of Oxford, Stanford University, and Harvard University, and since then has now acquired nearly one
million signatures. The declaration notes, “Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health… with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.”
And this was just six months into the shutdowns from the pandemic. Since that time, the Brownstone Institute has tracked more than 400 (!) studies on the failure of compulsory COVID interventions from lockdowns, restrictions, and closures. In a normal world, this volume of evidence would fall into the category of “settled science.” However, the government’s response was to do its best to suppress these reports and silence the dissenters. When the Great Barrington Declaration was released in October 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci was quoted in the New York Times that it was “dangerous and total nonsense” and, in other venues, called the originators
“three fringe epidemiologists.” (Memo to Dr. Fauci: no one from Oxford, Stanford, or Harvard would be considered fringe.) There was also the highly suspicious death count as a result of COVID. The Association of American Medical Colleges admitted early on that determining if a person dies “of” or “with” COVID is “complicated.” Our Lycoming County coroner noted that some of the deaths that he had attributed to natural causes strangely got changed to “COVID-related” in Harrisburg. Thus, we should not be surprised that according to the World Health Organization, the United States has the highest death rate in the world! But before we get to chant, “we’re number one! we’re number one!” the WHO also admits that “there is no international standard for measuring deaths or their causes, and countries record deaths in different ways, which makes comparison difficult.” Right…
Did I mention during this time that the man who, more than any other, was directing the “science” was the Chief Medical Advisor to the President of the United States, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci? He is a physician-scientist and immunologist who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022. He made clear during a Senate hearing, “I am the science.” It just so happened, and by an amazing coincidence, his net worth grew by $5 million from 2019 to 2021. Talk about following the science!

Are you a salty or sweet person or, like me, a little of both? I was always a salt person until I got pregnant with Kenzy. I craved McDonald’s ice cream cones like crazy and ice cream in general. I liked ice cream before but never “had to have it” until I was pregnant. With Tyler, I craved everything salty, like Pringles and McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches. I did watch what I ate when I was pregnant, but when I got that craving, there was no stopping me because I wasn’t hungry very often. Especially when pregnant with Tyler. I lost thirty pounds in my first seven months of carrying him because I was so darn sick. I threw up so much each day that I lost count. Kenz wasn’t as bad, but I was still pretty sick in the mornings. Ty used to come rub my back as I got sick and say, “Mommy, are you OK?” That kid, who is now thirteen years old, fourteen in four more months, would do the same thing to this day.
How crazy that you can crave different things with different kids, Ty was my salt man, and Kenz was my sugar queen. I love both. I am a sucker for homemade potato chips, Doritos, and sharp cheese. But I also love ice cream, cupcakes, and puddings. (It’s all in moderation, of course!)

My momma stopped in last week to drop off a box of Middleswarth chips and donuts for Ty’s weekend away with one of his best friends at a cabin. I told her to join us for breakfast. Chris was home, and the kids were off school. I told her it wouldn’t be anything fancy, but we would love to have her as the kids in the background said, “Yes, Gram! Please come eat breakfast with us!” She can’t say no to her grandbabies. I was going to have oatmeal with some fresh fruit and a one-hundred-calorie English Muffin. Momma said oatmeal sounded so good that she might have that too. I told her Kenz would probably have the same thing with us. I giggled and said, “Wait until you see the brown sugar she wants to put in. Mom, last week, she just kept dumping it in, and Chris and I had to stop her. Chris told her that she would have more brown sugar than oatmeal!” (This is why Momma typically does the brown sugar for her, but she “sweet” talks Daddy into letting her do it herself.)
Kenzy decided she wanted cream of wheat with Daddy that morning. So, we had a little of everything going on that morning, and meanwhile, Ty wanted eggs with ham. It was like a buffet. Everything was on the table. Kenzy sat next to Grammy as Chris

set her cream of wheat in front of her while I was getting the toast finished up. I hear my mom say, “Oh honey, I think you have enough sugar in there.” When I got to the table, her cream of wheat was like the color of molasses! Kenzy had done it again. Her and her sugar! I don’t even know how she eats it like that. I do 2 tsp. in mine compared to her couple of tablespoons. *head smack* This child and her sugar. Momma looked at her bowl, snickered, and said, “Kenz, you don’t want to get diabetes, honey.”
Then Chris chimed in with, “Then you’ll need some testing strips!”
Kenzy, “Umm…What’s diabetes!?”
At nine years old, I didn’t know about diabetes either. I ate well-balanced meals and was very active. Kenzy is the same way. Eats tons of fruits, yogurts, and veggies but loves some dessert each day. There isn’t one night at the dinner table where she doesn’t ask what’s for dessert. She just loves sweets, and who can blame her? I just taught her that we have to do it in moderation and that we can’t eat a whole sleeve of Oreos in one day. I’ve learned over the years in my weight loss how to treat myself with lower calorie or (sometimes)some sugar-free treats. I love Yasso bars, Oreo thins, Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, and Fairlife Chocolate Protein Shake, frozen like a slush, so it tastes like a Wendy’s frosty but with 30 grams of protein and way fewer calories. These are little tricks I’ve learned over time.
This one is one of my favorites and is fast to throw together.
Three ingredients. Simple. Delicious. And less than 150 calories. Bada-bing badaboom.
We don’t need to deprive ourselves; it’s learning how to accommodate it into our everyday lives.
Some days a little sugar-free puddin’ is exactly what I need to cure that sweet tooth. *wink*

Living in the present means celebrating each moment as it happens without worries about the past or anxiety for what the future holds and enjoying life to the fullest. Many people find themselves thinking about what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow, making living in the now a challenge.
You can overcome those hurdles and live each day more fully by adopting habits that promote physical and mental well-being, including these suggestions from the experts at Natrol, the No. 1 drug-free sleep aid brand, according to data from Nielsen^.
Regular Exercise
You’ll find exercise on virtually every list of self-care advice, and for good reason. Exercise stimulates your body in numerous beneficial ways, not the least of which is getting your heart pumping and oxygen flowing throughout your body, including your brain. Exercise also pairs well with meditation or mindfulness activities, which allow you to align your body’s movement with your thoughts and focus on the act of nurturing your body while freeing your mind.
Quality Sleep
Getting quality sleep is linked to improved concentration and productivity, consciously managing your sleep habits can help you be more present each day. Creating a bedtime routine and establishing a comfortable, quiet sleeping environment are important steps. In addition, drug-free sleep aids like Natrol
Melatonin products are designed to work with the body’s natural cycles and help users fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and wake up revitalized with a clearer, calmer mind. Made with clean ingredients and no artificial flavors, sweeteners or preservatives, the line of melatonin products may help you rethink your relationship between sleep and living life to the fullest.
Deep Breathing
Focusing on the here and now can be easier said than done. However, it’s possible to train your body and mind to concentrate on specific thoughts and tasks. Deep breathing exercises are an example of physically focusing yourself. Initiating a slow, steady breathing pattern and paying close attention to that rhythm can be an effective way to ward off negativity, whether it’s fear, anxiety or another undesirable emotion. Managing your breathing gives you a degree of control that can help you navigate a tricky situation or establish a deeper connection between your body and mind.
Time Management
For many people, the modern world’s frenetic lifestyle often demands constant multitasking. However, that continual juggling act makes it virtually impossible to give your full attention to any one aspect of your life. While a full stop to your multitasking tendencies may be impractical, you can carve out time to dedicate your mind more intentionally and completely. You may be
surprised by how much joy you derive from simply being present.
Develop Healthy Sleep Habits
Healthy sleep begins with 7-9 hours of sleep a night, but there’s more you need to know to achieve the sleep you deserve. By getting the recommended amount of sleep and hitting all your sleep stages, you can wake up feeling more refreshed and ready to own the day.
Create healthy sleep habits. Establishing a consistent sleep-wake schedule helps regulate your circadian rhythms and increases your quality of sleep.
Avoid bright screens 60 minutes before bedtime. Exposure to bright LED lights such as smartphones, laptops and TV screens before bed can interfere with your body’s natural release of melatonin.
Consider taking a melatonin supplement. When you need a little extra nudge toward dreamland, melatonin may help you fall asleep and stay asleep so you wake up refreshed.

“All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me” by Patrick Bringley
c/2023, Simon & Schuster

240 pages
One hundred eighty degrees. That’s where you want to be after something very bad has occurred. You want as far as possible away from it, miles out of reach, an exact opposite situation, pronto, thank you. A new schedule, different place, rearrangement, anything that’s not that anymore. As in the new book “All the Beauty in the World” by Patrick Bringley, you reframe everything in your life.
The day Patrick Bringley was supposed to be married was the day of his brother’s funeral.
As the oldest child in the family, Tom had been someone Bringley loved and admired. He was strong, smart, funny, and he was supposed to be a witness in Bringley’s wedding, but Tom died of soft-tissue sarcoma before that could happen, at age twenty-six.
In the days afterward, Bringley felt instinctively that he needed something in his life, something to replace “hospital” with healing. When he was a child, the Metropolitan Museum of Art had been a treat to visit; he remembered that his
mother, an art historian and sometime performer, took him there occasionally, scraping small change together for the admission fee. Once, as an adolescent, he physically “experienced the great beauty of” a work of art, and he was somewhat abashed about it. Still, the Met was a place of awestriking grandness and serenity to him. Bringley set aside his college years, quit his high-profile job, and he became a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Guarding the Met “was the most
straight-forward job I could think of in the most beautiful place I knew.”
Being a security guard requires lots of standing solo, Bringley says; there are usually people around but there’s often plenty of alone-time. Before becoming a guard at the Met, he loved working at a high-end New York Magazine where people said he was surely ‘going places.’
Standing in place, grieving, observing, thinking, he said of the museum, “I find myself happy to be going nowhere.”
When it comes to the things you have hanging on your wall or gracing a tabletop, you know what you like. Dogs playing poker? Perfect. A folk-art bowl? Even better. “All the Beauty in the World” on a bookshelf? Yep, you’ll like that, too.
But you should know this first: in telling his story, author Patrick Bringley doesn’t seem to care if you can’t tell Egyptian art from an exit sign. If you’re never set foot in an art museum, no problem. It doesn’t matter here.
This does: Bringley writes sometimes about the history of art and the history of the Met, but his book is more about beauty met in quiet places and the healing it facilitated. Yes, there are Cassatts and kouros here, but compassion and kindness appear brighter. Whether it’s the art that tugs at your heart, or the sweetly-charming, soothing stories of people lost and people found that appeal to you, “All the Beauty in the World” is a unique and gently different kind of book. Just picture yourself with it.

Genealogy fascinates much of the general public. The number of people learning more about their families and heritage through genealogy increases year to year. According to FamilyTree. com, genealogy is the second only to gardening as the most popular hobby in the United States.
People explore genealogy for many reasons, including learning about their ancestry. A rundown of the basics of genealogy can make such pursuits more enjoyable.
Genealogy and family history are

subtly different
Genealogy is a line of descent traced continuously from an ancestor, while family history is defined as the history or narrative of a family. They are intertwined but not synonymous.
Vital records are key
Genealogists explore vital records to obtain information about their ancestors. Vital records include documentation of ancestors’ life events, including births, deaths, marriages, and more. Civil registration began at different times around the world, and even across North America, so it’s often
challenging, though entirely possible, to develop an accurate history.
Surnames may be different
Surnames were not commonplace until around the eleventh century in Europe, according to S.C. Perkins, who is the author of a mystery series featuring a Texas genealogist as the protagonist. Surnames fall into four general categories:
1. Place or geographical features (i.e., “Hill”)
2. Nicknames or appearance (“Little”)
3. Occupation (“Baker”)
4. Father’s name (“Peterson”) Some names may not have been recorded correctly, so a person’s last name actually may be a derivative of the real name or a misspelling. Often immigrants changed their own surnames to make them sound more American or more native to wherever they were emigrating to.

Preserve family history
In addition to uncovering mysteries of one’s heritage, dabbling in genealogy helps to preserve family history by confirming tales and tracing ancestors’ journeys. It also may help shed light on the history of artifacts or jewelry that ancestors owned and passed down. Connect with others

A motivator behind genealogy research is to uncover relatives. Cousins from all over the world can discover they are related and bridge the gap between them through shared genetics and history. This may be particularly important to those who were adopted and hope to understand more about where they came from for personal or health-related reasons.

No matter your motivations, it’s never too late or too early to start focusing on your heart health, and taking steps now can make a big difference. Small changes, like following a healthier eating plan, can help you start down a path toward improved heart health.
One step you can take is following the DASH eating plan, which is a flexible and balanced way of eating that stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and was developed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Requiring no special foods, DASH provides daily and weekly nu-
tritional goals to help lower two major risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure and high LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Being more physically active, managing stress, getting quality sleep and not smoking combined with DASH can put you on a path toward a healthy heart for life.
Encouraging others to join you on your heart-health journey can also be rewarding. Research shows social support and personal networks make it more likely you’ll stick to healthy habits like eating healthy.

Many parents of young children face behavioral concerns like children not listening, throwing tantrums, biting and more. While every situation is unique, parents can rest assured they aren’t alone and these behaviors aren’t atypical.
“As young children grow and develop, behavioral challenges are to be expected,” said Dr. Lauren Starnes, senior vice president and chief academic officer, The Goddard School. “That said, just because these behaviors are often normal doesn’t mean they are easy for the parents addressing them or the young
children experiencing them.”
While eliminating undesired behaviors like defiance, tantrums and biting is likely unrealistic, it’s not a lost cause for parents. Understanding why certain behaviors occur and the appropriate techniques to address them can help parents mitigate their impact and lessen their frequency, duration and severity.
Starnes recommends these ways to understand and address challenging behaviors in young children.
Biting: Infants often bite when teething. Young toddlers bite out of excitement,
exploration or in response to inconsistencies in their environment. Older toddlers and 2-year-olds frequently bite as a communication method, such as when they fail to have the language to communicate frustration.
For children who are 3 years of age or older, biting is typically an aggressive behavior. Understanding the root cause can help tailor the response more appropriately to curb the behavior. For example, giving infants various textured teething toys can lessen the likelihood they will bite. For 2-year-olds, modeling how to use words and phasing out oral soothing items like pacifiers can also reduce the likelihood of biting.
Defiance: Raising young children means preparing to hear them say, “No.” One of the primary developmental milestones of early childhood is emerging independence. The overt exertion of independence tends to peak at or around age 2 and can continue at varying degrees of intensity, depending in part upon the personality of the child.
One important factor about defiant behavior is that while it is independence exertion, it is also attention-seeking. Behavior is communication and some defiant actions may simply be a means of obtaining attention and situational control. By giving children more independence - for example, asking “Can you please put your shoes on for me?” or “Can you pick which one of these dresses you want to wear today?” - you may be able to help them become compliant.
Logical consequences can also help. For example, if children refuse to sit in their chair to eat, have them stand for dinner or
remove their snack until they sit.
Tantrums: The American Academy of Pediatrics defines tantrums as a behavioral response by young children who are learning to be independent and desire to make choices yet lack the coping and self-regulation skills to handle frustration. Whether a tantrum is triggered by communication gaps, frustration or a reinforced behavior to control a situation, there are specific techniques that can be used to deescalate the behavior and help children regain emotional composure.
Your reaction to a tantrum is a direct predictor of its intensity and longevity. Taking an opposite position to children in terms of volume, speed of movement and pace of speech can be enough to counterbalance the tantrum.
Another effective technique to curb a tantrum is sportscasting. Using a soft tone of voice, sportscasting is the verbal, non-biased account of what is happening in the moment retold in third-person as though telling a story or broadcasting a sport. While this may feel awkward at first, it often catches children’s attention and deescalates their reaction. For example, “Lou wanted more gummy bears. Mom said no. Lou is yelling and crying.”
There is no silver bullet to stop biting, defiance and tantrums. These behaviors, for better or worse, are expected parts of early childhood. However, by gaining an understanding of their root causes and employing appropriate techniques to address these behaviors, parents can mitigate their impact while helping children develop and grow socially and emotionally.

Last spring, your Webb Weekly critic spent a week with Apple TV and reviewed three picks for eager streamers. This year, let’s try a trio of recent worthies from Netflix instead:
“Your Place or Mine” (2023) – In this feel-good rom-com, Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher play a pair who’ve been “just friends” for 20 years after a brief romantic fling in their youth; she’s now a California single mom, and he’s got a killer job, GF, and apartment in New York.
When she has a vital out-of-town commitment and her sitter craps out, he — being a tried-and-true pal — volunteers to stay with her tween-age son for the week. Turns out a handsome, wealthy, jet-
setting older man is just what young Jack need to help him adjust to middleschool life — while we slowly learn that Kutcher’s character is still carrying a torch for his supposed “just friend.” But in the meantime, on her trip, she has fallen suddenly in love. And then … well, there’s a lot more to the plot that I won’t spoil.
Occasionally shallow and predictable, “Place” is nonetheless wonderfully engaging thanks to its two charismatic leads; the film is also really funny.
“The Wonder” (2022) – Not to be confused with “The Wonder Years” or “Wonderstruck” or even just “Wonder,” this unique historical drama is based on a terrific 2016 novel by Emma Donoghue, who
also penned the dazzling “Room” and co-wrote the screenplay for this film.
Set in the 1850s, it features a nurse named Lib (Florence Pugh) assisting in the case of an 11-year-old Irish girl who supposedly hasn’t eaten in months. The locals and their church call it a miracle, while the nurse is assigned to monitor the child and see if she is secretly getting fed.
As the girl finally begins to starve to death, Lib struggles to remain objective, to get her patient to actually eat and to plumb both the nature of the girl’s faith and the true reason for her fast.
While the movie adds an unneeded and distracting framework structure to comment on the nature of stories, it still succeeds nicely — part melodrama, part love story and part mystery with an unexpected twist.
“Father Stu” (2022) – My favorite of the three — unquestionably Mark Wahlberg’s finest hour. And maybe Mel Gibson’s too.
“Stu” is the amazing true story of a low-rent boxer with a foul mouth and a lot of bad habits who suddenly commits to becoming a priest — a decision greeted with considerable skepticism by almost everyone he knows. The reason for this change is something I cannot reveal — let’s just call it a mid-film surprise; but the thing is, even after that, God apparently wasn’t done putting Stuart through the wringer.
Yet the more he suffers, the deeper and more real grows his faith — as he also squares off with a ditzy but good-hearted mother (Jacki Weaver) and a long-absent, alcoholic father (Gibson).
Stuart’s willingness to accept his hardships — and to pursue his difficult goal despite numerous roadblocks — is downright inspiring, though the film is never shallow or preachy. At the absolute top of his game, Wahlberg keeps us riveted; and Gibson is similarly impressive. If you’re a fan of either actor, don’t miss “Father Stu.”

March is Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Awareness Month, and its significance highlights the disease to educate on its effects and inspire acting on life-saving screenings when appropriate. The most common screening for CRC is colonoscopy. About one in 24 people will be affected by CRC in their lifetimes which is why we should make colonoscopies a priority. Yes, the idea of getting a colonoscopy may be daunting, but it’s very effective at catching CRC in its early stages – when it is also the most treatable. What is a Colonoscopy?
Colonoscopies involve a flexible tube with a tiny camera and light that is inserted into your colon while you are sedated. This allows doctors to directly examine the colon for any signs of CRC and remove polyps, or small growths
of cells that could be precancerous. Removing precancerous polyps during colonoscopy can reduce risk of developing colon cancer in the future. The procedure itself only takes about 20 to 30 minutes and rarely causes any complications.
Colonoscopies require a bit of preparation, which is ultimately why they make people a little uneasy. The process begins the day before your exam and is designed to empty your colon completely, so that doctors have a better view of what’s going on. Many patients say this is the most challenging part of the entire test because it requires a day-long liquid diet and taking laxatives that cleanse the bowel. As a result, planning to be close to a toilet during this stage is essential. The good news? The prep is worth the result, and recent improvements have made the prep easier with newer better-tasting medications in smaller volumes that are spaced out.

According to the American Cancer Society, you should start having regular colonoscopies at age 45 and sooner if you are at high risk. If you are in good health, you should continue to have colonoscopies every ten years through the age of 75. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or have inflammatory bowel disease, your doctor may recommend screening earlier and more often. You should also talk to your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy if you experience any of the following symptoms:
– Abdominal pain
– Blood in the stool
– Changes in bowel habits
– Chronic constipation
– Fatigue
– Sudden, unexplained weight loss
Lowering Your Risk for Colon Cancer
Along with regular screenings, there are other ways you can reduce your risk by as much as 30%, including:
– Avoid excess alcohol
– Eat a low-fat, high-fiber diet
– Manage inflammatory bowel disease
– Regular exercise – Quit Smoking
Staying fit and healthy can do a lot to prevent many different types of cancer. It’s important to stay physically active, maintain healthy body weight, and eat fruits and vegetables to help decrease your risk of cancer.
Schedule Your Colonoscopy Today
While there are other colon cancer tests, they do not have the preventive benefits of a colonoscopy. Whether you are experiencing symptoms, or this is your year to have a colonoscopy — don’t delay. Talk with your doctor to find out when screening is appropriate for you — it could save your life.

The first annual Williamsport Automobile Show opened last evening in the Twelfth Regiment Armory on Pine Street. Several thousand people gathered for the opening night. There are automobiles of different types on the floor, all polished to the highest possible degree and they alone form an attraction sufficiently interesting to call anyone to the show.
The interior of the armory is handsomely decorated with flags, bunting, and electric lights of many colors. From the steel girders above is suspended bunting in an elaborate manner, ranging color from red, white and blue, to green and other attractive
shades. So cleverly is this material hung that it forms a canopy above that is almost bewildering.
On the floor are the exhibits of the various automobile agents. Each exhibit is attended by several expert representatives from the factories where the cars were made, in addition to the local salesmen from the local automobile garages, all of whom are waiting to tell you wherein their cars surpass the car next door, or how many good points their cars have in addition to those of the other fellows whose exhibits are there too. In fact, there is a most wonderful rivalry existing between these men who stand about the cars and talk to at the very first opportunity when they have an idea that you are there to talk automobile.

The last few years have not proven the most advantageous times for new car buyers. According to the Consumer Price Index Summary from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, buyers paid 12.2 percent more for new vehicles in January 2022 than they had in January 2021. Faced with such a significant increase in price, many drivers understandably want to keep their current cars longer than they might have initially planned.
Data released by S&P Global Mobility in early 2022 indicated that the average vehicle on the road is 12 years and two months old, which marked the highest number in the 20-plus years such information was
tracked. A host of variables affect how long drivers keep their cars, but the rising cost of new vehicles has undoubtedly compelled many drivers to aspire to keep their cars for longer periods of time.
Aging cars may require a little more TLC than vehicles that are right off the dealership lot. But the following are three simple tips that can help drivers keep their cars running longer.
1. Become a more careful driver. A careful approach when behind the wheel is safer than aggressive driving and beneficial for your vehicle. When starting, avoid revving the engine, which needlessly wears it down. When out on the road, avoid rapid accelerations, which also contributes to needless wear and tear. Even excessive idling can adversely affect the engine, so keep winter warmups to around 30 seconds to prevent damage to engine components.
2. Know when and how to fill up. Every driver has likely visited a filling station when an oil tanker is busily filling the tanks. That’s traditionally been considered a less than ideal time to fill up, as the theory is that filling the tanks stirs up sediment that could then find its way into consumers’ gas tanks, adversely affecting their vehicles. However, that’s often dependent on the station itself and how much its owners prioritize maintenance of the tank and filtration systems. Drivers who trust their local station owners can likely fill up when the tankers are present without worry.
In addition, avoid topping off once the nozzle clicks when filling up. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that topping off is harmful to the planet and the vehicle, as gasoline needs room to expand. When you top off, the extra gas may damage the vapor collection system and cause the vehicle to run less efficiently.
3. Change oil more frequently as the vehicle ages. It’s true that modern vehicles no longer require oil changes for every 3,000 miles driven. However, as vehicles age, drivers and their vehicles’ engines may benefit from more frequent oil changes than the owner’s manual necessarily recommends. Oil changes remove dirt and metal particles from the engine, potentially contributing to a longer life expectancy. More frequent changes can be especially beneficial for vehicles that are routinely driven in stop-and-go traffic.
Rising vehicle costs have compelled many drivers to keep their cars longer than they initially planned. Some simple strategies can help drivers achieve that goal.
Automotive problems are often best left to professionals. Though seasoned car enthusiasts may be capable of diagnosing and fixing car troubles without the assistance of a trusted mechanic, most drivers are better off letting the pros address issues under the hood.
But drivers can still play a vital role in vehicle maintenance. Learning to recognize warning signs of various problems that can affect cars can prevent breakdowns and potentially costly repairs. And in certain instances, such as when the brake system is not working properly, knowing how to spot problems before they escalate into something larger can make drivers and their passengers safer and potentially prevent accidents.
Television shows and movies have lent credence to the notion that brake problems are marked by the sudden cessation of a vehicle’s ability to stop. Though that can happen, warning signs of fading brake systems tend to be more subtle.
Noises: Much like a knocking sound typically indicates a problem with a vehicle’s air-fuel ration mixture, certain noises also suggest there are problems with the brakes. The most noticeable such sign is a high-pitched squeal that occurs when drivers apply the brakes. But grinding sounds and noises like scratching and scraping also warrant a visit to a brake specialist.
Increase in stopping distance: An increase in the distance a vehicle travels before it stops after the brakes are applied indicates that there’s an issue with the brakes. This issue may or may not require a brake replacement. In fact, it’s sometimes indicative that brake fluid levels are low, which can be remedied quickly and easily. However, an increase in stopping distance is significant enough that it should be brought to the attention of a brake specialist immediately.
Pulling upon stopping: Another warning sign of brake problems is when the vehicle noticeably pulls to one side as it comes to a stop. This indicates that one side of the brakes is malfunctioning while the other is working properly. Like other issues with brakes, this one requires immediate attention from an automotive professional. Brake systems should be inspected during routine maintenance visits. But issues with brakes can arise even after such inspections, which underscores how important it is that drivers learn to recognize the warning signs of brake problems.
ar accidents occur every day. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are more than five million car accidents in the United States every year. Forty-three percent of car accidents resulted in injuries in 2020.
No one wants to get into an automobile accident, which can be stressful and even fatal. Even accidents that do not result in any major injuries can be traumatizing. Knowing what to do in the immediate aftermath of an accident may make such instances less stressful. Assess the situation
The insurance experts at GEICO® advise individuals involved in an accident to first determine if any of the involved parties suffered an injury. If you are injured, stay put. If not, check on the condition of the other driver. At this point do not admit any fault or reveal any policy limits.
Next, make a call to emergency services to request assistance from the police and an ambulance, if necessary.
Move your vehicle
If possible, pull the vehicle over to a safe, well-lit public location. This is especially important if you believe you were the victim of a staged accident, says the Insurance Information
Institute. If the car will cause another road hazard, it is best to move it over to the side and use flashers to alert oncoming traffic. It is important that you don’t leave the scene, according to American Property Casualty Insurance Association.
Gather evidence
Have the police write up an accident report. You should take pictures of the damage to your vehicle, the other vehicle, if possible, and the scene of the accident, including any skid marks, debris and/or property damage. If there are any witnesses to the accident, get their names and contact information. You’ll need this information when filing an insurance claim.
Exchange information
Collect the names, phone numbers, addresses and email addresses of other drivers and vehicle occupants and exchange insurance information with all drivers involved. That includes the insurance company name, policy number and the name of the insured.
Notify a friend or family member
Even if the accident is not serious, you may want to call a friend or family member to provide emotional support. If you’ve been injured, a friend or family member can meet you at the hospital and/or arrange to have your vehicle towed or returned home while you get the care you need.
Automotive accidents can be nervewracking. Knowing the steps to take can alleviate some stress.
Vehicle engines include complex parts that work in concert to ensure that the car functions properly. When servicing their cars and trucks, vehicle owners may look to many parts of the engine yet overlook a relatively mundane, albeit important, component: the air filter.
All cars come equipped with air filters, which are essential to optimum engine operation. The engine air filter is the first line of defense against outside air that is being brought in to the car engine to be burned along with fuel
to produce combustion. The filter will capture particulate matter that would normally enter a vehicle’s engine and leave sediment. The automotive resource
It Still Runs says dirty air can reduce engine efficiency and cause damage over time.
Dirty air can compromise the air/fuel mixture that is involved in combustion. Any debris that enters portals in fuel injection
systems can compromise that system. In addition, debris can cause fuel to burn less efficiently, resulting in poor fuel economy. There is no simple answer as to how often an engine air filter should be changed. It largely depends on miles driven and the environment in which the vehicle is used. Those who reside in rural or dusty areas will need to replace air filters more frequently. Drivers also can install air filters more suited to dusty areas.
An engine filter is not the only filter in a vehicle. There also is a cabin air filter. The cabin air filter does not affect engine performance, but it does help to provide clean air inside of the vehicle. The cabin air filter helps to keep dirt, pollen, bacteria, exhaust gases, and dust from entering the HVAC system. It also can be a barrier against bugs, leaves and other particles from clogging up the system. The cabin filter also helps to keep the air fresh and odor-free. A clogged filter can result in diminished heating and air conditioning performance, so it’s important to change this filter as well.
The prevalence of technology has ensured that many things are competing for people’s attention at any given moment. That includes when people are driving, which has contributed to a dangerous phenomenon known as distracted driving.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that there were nearly 36,000 fatal crashes involving distracted drivers in 2020. Such numbers are sobering, but it’s worth noting that handheld cellphone usage by drivers declined significantly across all age groups between 2012 and 2021. NHTSA data indicates such usage declined from 5.9 percent in 2012 to 3.7 percent by 2021 among drivers between the ages of 16 and 24. Among drivers between the ages of 25 and 69, driver handheld cellphone usage dropped from 5.4 percent in 2012 to 2.5 percent by 2021.
But the work isn’t done, as the NHTSA notes that a significant uptick of driver handheld cellphone usage among drivers between the ages of 16 and 24 was reported between 2020 (2.8 percent) and 2021 (3.7 percent). With so much to gain from eliminating distracted driving, drivers of all ages can consider these strategies to avoid distractions while behind the wheel.
Turn off notifications. According to the app industry resource BusinessofApps, the average smartphone user in the
United States receives 46 app push notifications each day. Additional sources estimate that figure could be closer to 80 push notifications per day. There’s no denying the allure of such notifications, so drivers who find them too hard to resist can turn all notifications off prior to getting behind the wheel. This is quickly and easily accomplished through the settings function on a smartphone. Avoid making calls. Hands-free capabilities may make it easier to keep both hands on the wheel, but they don’t ensure drivers’ minds will stay on the road. Hands-free phone calls and voice-activated messaging apps take drivers’ minds off the road. When behind the wheel, resolve to stick to driving — and driving alone — by avoiding making phone calls or receiving and sending messages.
Stay focused at stoplights. Red lights present another tempting chance to peruse text messages, emails and push notifications. But drivers can easily be drawn into conversations that continue long after a red light has turned to green. So, it’s best to maintain your focus at stoplights by waiting patiently for the light to turn and avoiding your phone entirely.
All accidents involving distracted driving incidents are preventable. Drivers can take simple and more extensive measures to reduce their vulnerability to distractions while behind the wheel.

“Double your pleasure, double your fun –with Double Mint, Double Mint, Double Mint Gum!” This popular jingle was used in years past to advertise a brand of gum that remains popular to this day. But be careful because if you remember this jingle, you may be giving away your age! But “Double your pleasure, double your fun” is also a phrase that can be used to describe the opportunity that area sportsmen will soon have, especially if they enjoy both hunting and fishing.
If you are a fisherman, you probably already have the date circled on your calendar – Saturday, April 15, since that is the opening day of trout season in our neighboring lakes and streams.
And, if you enjoy hunting, Saturday, April 22 (the one-day Youth Spring Turkey hunting day) and Saturday, April 29 (the opening day of the regular spring gobbler
season) are probably noted as well.
Whether you are a hunter first and fisherman second, or a fisherman first and a hunter second – this is the time of year that you have been daydreaming about for months! With so much demand for our time these days, let’s look at a number of ways that you can compound your fun in our outdoors in the coming weeks.
The creel limit for trout is 5 per day, with a minimum size of 7 inches. Since the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission annually stocks over 3 million trout (about 2 million rainbow trout, nearly 640,000 brown trout, and approximately 500,000 brook trout - with an average size of 11 inches), there should be no real reason why a good fisherman wouldn’t fill his creel in a day – with time to spare! So, while you are already in the setting, double your fun by doing some exploring, such as in foraging for wild leeks or wild mushrooms or hunting for shed antlers.
Particularly while you are in a woodsy setting, along a small mountain trout stream, it is the ideal setting to spot a shed antler or two. As you move along the stream, glance back into the woods. The lighting that aids in spotting these treasures changes as you move along, and the changing angles will also aid in catching a glimpse of a shed antler.
After a wet winter and during a rainy spring, wild mushrooms will begin to appear. While many are inedible and should be avoided, a few are easily identifiable and relished by those who know them. One is the oyster mushroom which grows in clusters - usually on the side of aspen trees but can be found on other trees as well.
The other that most look for is the morel, which sprouts up from the ground and has the most intense flavor of all of the wild mushrooms.
One other tasty spring treat that foragers hunt for from mid-April to mid-May is the wild leek or ramp.
They grow in clumps, and a patch may cover hundreds of square feet. Their garlicky-onion aroma and flavor make them prized for use in soups, sautéing in butter, and with various stir-fry recipes. I will discuss them in an upcoming column.
Keep your ears and eyes open during the first weeks of trout season, and you just might find a great place to return to for the opening day of spring gobbler season. Turkey tracks in the mud, a dropped feather, or scratching in the leaves under an oak or cherry tree might indicate recent activity. If you are fishing at first light, you might hear birds fly down from the roost, or perhaps you’ll hear a gobbler sound off throughout the day.
From Saturday, April 29, until Saturday, May 13, the legal shooting hours for spring gobblers are half an hour before sunrise until noon. That means that you have all afternoon to either scout for other turkeys, lay in wait to see where birds will go to roost or try your luck at catching a few trout! Looking for another way to double your pleasure and double your fun? Take along a friend on your hunting or fishing adventures. As responsible outdoorsmen, we have an obligation to share our passion with other people, thus helping ensure that what we cherish will be shared and enjoyed by many for generations to come. Whether you are introducing youth to the great outdoors or sharing time with another adult, it is an easy way to multiply the rewards and memories.
Iwas talking with someone the other day, and they told me they saw what looked like an unusually large crow. When I said that what he saw was very likely a raven and not a crow, he seemed a little surprised. What’s interesting is that about ten minutes before our conservation, I watched a raven fly over top as I walked through the parking lot.
Apparently, there are a good number of people who were not aware that we have ravens here in our state. Crows? Yeah, we have plenty of them, and we see them all summer and all winter long. While crows are found here all year around, that doesn’t mean that individual crows stay the entire year. Actually, crows that breed here will likely migrate south starting in late September or early October, and those crows are replaced by crows migrating south from areas further north.
While digging into this subject a bit, I came across something else that
Ken Hunter
I, too, was surprised to find out. Crows and ravens belong to the family Corvidae, but I found that we also have a third species here in Pennsylvania in the same family — the fish crow. The fish crow is most commonly found in southeastern Pennsylvania and along the Susquehanna River but is no doubt often mistaken for the common crow. The fish crow is smaller than the crow, and its call is a short, nasal chu-cuh as opposed to the caw of a crow. To be honest, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a fish crow; I may have, but like a lot of people, I didn’t realize it. Something else I found that also surprised me is that the crows, ravens, and fish crows are all classified as songbirds-really?
The common crow tends to favor woodlots, but they are also comfortable in farm fields, while the common raven tends to be found in the more mountainous northcentral region of the state. Ravens also seem to prefer more seclusion for successful nesting.
Ravens often go undetected, and for good reason, since they are often mistaken for crows, but there are some differences. Ravens are larger than crows, with a wingspan of about four feet. The raven has a much larger, heavier bill and shaggier, thicker plumage, especially around the throat. The tail of the raven is rounded or wedge-shaped, while the crow’s tail is more squared. In flight, the raven will flap its wings less and tends to soar more than a crow.
Ravens, like crows, will often
be found feeding on the same things; rodents, insects, grain, fruit, bird eggs, and refuse. Like crows, ravens can often be seen feeding on dead animals along highways; they are often spotted along Interstate 80 feeding on the abundance of dead animals. Like crows, ravens also possess sharp eyesight and hearing, and they are judged to be among the most intelligent of all birds. Even with all of this information to help distinguish the various species, I still found it difficult much of the time to pick out a raven or, worse yet, a fish crow amongst a flock of crows.
He’s felt the tension of playoff soccer. Enjoyed the 60-foot 6-inch challenge of trying to get a batter out. He’s experienced the excitement of sinking 3-pointers in raucous gymnasiums. But for South Williamsport senior Zach Lynn, it is the fourth sport he plays that gives him the most satisfaction.
For many, the knowledge that high school fishing takes place in Pennsylvania might be news. But for Lynn, it’s a sport he has enjoyed since his pre-school days.
“I developed a love for fishing when I was three or four years old with my Pap. Right from the beginning, he showed me how to use artificial stuff. I got into the habit of fishing and watched a lot of the Outdoor Channel on TV. Fishing with a lure was sport to me because it provided competition. As I got older, I watched a lot of tournament fishing and decided this was something I really wanted to do.
“Of all the sports I’ve played, for me, I would say scoring the soccer goals and fishing in tournaments have been the toughest things to do because they can be a real struggle at times. In fishing,
you fish under every kind of condition, sometimes for eight hours at a time, and you have to develop and create patterns. It takes a lot of determination. I enjoy all the sports I play, and they all present different kinds of challenges.”
Scott LoweryWhile South Williamsport does not have a fishing team, Lynn has followed his passion with Mifflinburg.
“I first started off with the Susquehanna Valley High School fishing team, which was made up of a bunch of local schools, but eventually that fell through,” he explained. “Mifflinburg coach Kevin Zimmerman, who I couldn’t be more grateful for, asked me to come join his team. Since my freshman year, I have been fishing for him ever since.
“There are about ten different fishing teams in the area. Each team has so many pairs together. Our Mifflinburg team has seven pairs, five high school, one JV, and one Junior High. Wellsboro has a fishing team; the western part of the state has several teams, and there are some in the Harrisburg area.

Usually, most fishing tournaments will have around 29 teams. Once you win a state championship and compete for a national championship, you’d run into about 400 teams from all over the country.
“During the regular season, which runs from mid-March to October, I would average about ten tournaments a year. The last two seasons, I was able to qualify for two state championships, but I was unable to finish because I didn’t want to let my soccer team down one year and my baseball team another.
“At each meet, a meeting is held the night before the tournament where the rules are reviewed. The next morning we’d get up about 4 a.m., get to the launch area by 5 a.m., and get checked in. You are assigned a boat number which signifies the order you can enter the lake. Each meet goes from about 7 a.m. until 2 or 3 p.m. There are two fishermen in a boat and a driver who is assigned to drive you around to the different areas we’d like to fish. Most tournaments have a limit of five fish, but sometimes in the early spring, the limit is four.
“There are no strict restrictions as to where you can fish in the lake, although the launch area is usually offlimits. Also, if there are dams on the
lake, we are not permitted to fish in those areas.”
As for sports memories, each sport has provided plenty for Lynn.
“My biggest sports memory in baseball is when we won the district title last year. That was awesome. This year, in basketball, we were able to win our first playoff game, which hadn’t been done for a while. This fall, I scored two goals in the soccer playoffs. With fishing, my best memory is qualifying for the state championships during the COVID year, which was very rewarding.
“The biggest fish I ever caught was a 43-inch muskie last year. My good
buddy Alex Neidig helped me out with it. We caught it along the Loyalsock Creek right behind the airport. That was the coolest memory I’ve ever had fishing. I released a lot of fish I’ve caught, but I kept that one. My dad and I do taxidermy, so we mounted him.”
Looking ahead, Lynn hopes college fishing is in his future.
“Today, there are so many colleges that offer fishing scholarships. It has always been my dream to be able to get one. I’ve been accepted at Penn State for their online program. I’ve applied for their main campus and have been talking to the fishing coach. I know a lot of the people up there, and they
have already taught me a lot. If I can’t get into that, I will fish for the BFL (Bass Fishing League) and do some semi-pro stuff.”
Like many before him, his high school days have flown by.
“I did not think the time would go by as fast as it has. I now wish there was some way to make it slow down because nothing brought me more competitiveness and happiness than high school fishing. It showed me you need to work hard to perfect a skill you enjoy. Everybody in my family has been so supportive. It’s also been great having my brother compete with me in my senior year.”
I’ve mentioned before that I am one of North Central PA’s biggest fans. It’s true. Seriously folks. What’s not to love about the 570? This place is just splendid. 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 for an invite.
Lycoming County provides hundreds of exceptional fishing 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 fish every single day if I could, and I came awfully close in 2021. I don’t want to talk about 2022.
A few of my favorite spots are just a short drive or walk from the house. I do my very best to fish them yearround, but unfortunately, my adventures have been non-existent of late. Working on this major renovation at the homestead is getting in the way. Saturday, April 1st, marks the opening day of the trout. Thousands of anglers
from all over the map will flock to our great region that weekend. They are all hoping for an opportunity to catch some fish. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission stocks over three million fish each year, and many of these poor little guys are now residing in Lycoming County’s streams. It’s a crazy time of year, and they don’t stand a chance. People are everywhere with an abundance of scrumptious flies, lures, and baits. It reminds me of four tour buses all shopping at Wegmans at the same exact time.
I am still on the fence about sneaking out for a few casts. I don’t do well with crowds and actually prefer to fish alone. I had an awful experience with last year’s opener, and I vowed to myself — never again. No worries.
Then I got to thinking — scary thought, I know. Perhaps I could write the Seven Commandments of Trout Fishing on opening day to help. Bear with me, folks. I am only trying to bring more common sense and etiquette back to my favorite sport.
A stationary fisherman 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 of water.
Please don’t throw rocks. They scare fish.
A fisherman 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, and please yield to those who actually know what they’re doing.
Don’t crowd other fishermen — especially when they get to the hole first. Give them space, and NEVER cast directly next to or in front of him. You’d be surprised, kids.
Stay away from beavers, and watch out for kayaks and canoes. That’s another story.
Many streams flow through private property. Kindly respect all postings and remember that stream access is a privilege and not a right. This 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 fishing line, cans, and other trash and discard it properly. 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 fishing etiquette while they are young.
There is nothing like spending time with your son on the water. And seeing the joys of reeling in a fish is second to none. This simple pleasure has been passed down for generations. I have had many enjoyable experiences on the water. But whenever I am with my son. The latest adventure always trumps them all. Cheers.
