Closing Out the Mall and Webb Family Baseball

Thank you to everyone that came out and made this year’s West Branch Susquehanna Builder’s Home Show a great success. Over 3,000 folks made the trip to the old Dick’s building at the Lycoming Mall. There was somebody there that could help you with every project imaginable. A Webb Weekly shout-out to Association President Jody Harlan and Executive Director Laura Kriger for the fantastic effort in putting together the event.

I always enjoy the opportunity to meet and greet so many of you at the Home Show. Our Webb Weekly booth was hopping all three days. A heartfelt thank you for all the kind words about our publication and to those of you that shared stories about my Father. I am always humbled by this. I am very blessed to have a great staff that makes up my Webb Weekly family and cares about our community as much as I do.

Congratulations to Mike Deaver for being this year’s winner of our Home Show Grill Package Giveaway. Mike will be receiving a fully assembled Sunbeam Grill and a tank of gas from Elery Nau Hardware. I am always glad the great folks there ensure it’s assembled, so I

don’t have to. Did I mention Elery Nau is your old-fashioned hardware and more store where you can find anything you need?

My old friend Mikey Rupert throws in a $50 gift card to get that grill sizzling. Along with his staff at Rupert’s Specialty Meats, they provide the main course and the homemade sides to make your mouth water.

To wash it all down Frosty Beverage provides a $50 gift card to the winner.

I was amazed at how many folks knew old Chet Ruth, and his ice-cold beverages seemed to encourage many to register. Although maybe it was just the free, cold beer.

In closing things out about the Home Show, I apologize to those that missed out on our Webb Weekly yardsticks. I will make sure to order more for next year.

During my life, I have watched the Lycoming Mall being built, to now as it has reached its final days. This is hard for me to believe, as I have many memories of the mall. As I travel our state and nation, there are still many malls experiencing success. I understand how online sales have affected the brick-and-mortar

malls. I also understand how corporate greed and unwillingness to change have factored into the demise of the Lycoming Mall. Sadly, it’s just another example of a lost venue for people to share time and make memories together. Whether it be shopping with family or friends, getting a picture taken with Santa or the Easter Bunny, or just being a focal destination within the community where people could gather together. The mall will be missed.

Speaking of community and gathering together, it was great to see the large crowd that came out to see last week’s Loyalsock at Hughesville baseball game. The Lancers and Spartans provided the fans with a most exciting game as Hughesville scored in the bottom of the 7th inning to win the game 6-5 in walkoff fashion. My family had a double interest in the game that afternoon, and now I’ll tell you the rest of the story.

As many of you know, my son Jimmy took over the reins as Loyalsock’s head baseball coach this season. Since my boys graduated from Sock, I’ve been attending Spartans games to watch my nephews play. Although Jimmy was in the dugout the last couple of years when his cousin Jed played, this game marked the first time he would be managing the

Lancers as Jed was playing for the Spartans. So it should go without saying, I wore my maroon Sock cap, while my brother Brian wore his green ‘Ville hat. The family battle lines had been drawn. Play ball!

In talking with my stepmother, Carol, she had the perfect take on the game. She loves Jimmy and Jed very much, and no matter who won, she would be on the winning side of one grandson while her message to the other would be, go get ‘em next time.

As Webb family fate would have it this day, Jed came in and pitched the last three innings and got the win for the Spartans. Tip of my Sock cap with the LT on the front to my nephew. Love you, kid. Jimmy did a great job scratching out five runs. Your team is improving, Son. Love you.

After the game, a family shook hands, exchanged hugs, and couldn’t wait to get together for Easter Dinner.

Please take a break from all the seriousness going on in the world and get out to a local ballpark. Baseball provides a perfect all-American distraction to bring people together from all walks of life. The best moment of the Sock/Hughesville game was as the players stood hats over hearts, eyes fixed on the stars and stripes, as the National Anthem played. No matter how many ball games I attend, this moment always moves me. God Bless America.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

In July of 2016 I wrote the following: “Let’s make this perfectly clear. Crystal clear. Just-Windexed-sun-streaming-inclear.

There is never, and I mean never, a justification for rape or sexual assault.

I don’t care if you bought her a drink.

I don’t care if you bought her dinner.

I don’t care if she flirted with you.

I don’t care if she was dressed provocatively.

I don’t care if she was dancing sexily.

I don’t care if she was OK with being touched 5 minutes ago but isn’t now.

I don’t care if she had sex with you yesterday but isn’t interested today.

I don’t care if she is your significant other/ spouse.

I don’t care if she has had sex with 100 people before you.

I don’t care if she is walking down an alley, alone, in the middle of the night, drunk and buck-naked.

There is never a provocation for taking something from someone that isn’t being offered freely.

We live in a world where the sense of entitlement is out of control; however, I will never understand where people got the idea that they are somehow entitled to have sex with someone because they dress or act a certain way.

You are never owed sex.

Unless you are given a blatant invitation for sex, don’t have it! Consent is a yes, not an absence of no.”

Let me say it again for the people in the back. Consent is a yes, not an absence of a no.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), and since people can’t seem to stop sexually assaulting people, let’s discuss.

According to the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network (RAINN):

– Every 68 seconds another American is sexually assaulted.

–1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime.

–About 3% of American men — or 1 in 33 — have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime.

–From 2009-2013, Child Protective Services agencies substantiated, or found strong evidence to indicate that, 63,000 children a year were victims of sexual abuse.

–A majority of child victims are 12-17. Of victims under the age of 18: 34% of victims of sexual assault and rape are under age 12, and 66% of victims of sexual assault and rape are age 12-17.

If you are still somehow not convinced that sexual assault isn’t a problem, allow me to

continue.

One in Two. That’s the number of women who have experienced sexual violence other than rape in their lifetime. That’s 50 percent of women if the math is difficult. The number is one in five for men.

Keep in mind with these numbers that almost 67% of rapes are estimated to go unreported, according to the US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics.

One in Three. That’s the number of women who have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner.

Now, I want you to think about the number of women that you have in your life, then take another look at these numbers. What do you think the chances are that at least one of them hasn’t experienced some sort of sexual violence at some point in their life?

Add this to one in six boys being sexually abused before the age of 16. Add that to 41 percent of women reporting physically aggressive street harassment. Again, I ask, what do you think the chances are that someone you know or love hasn’t been a victim of some type of sexual violence?

So, what do we do? The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) offers this, “Sexual violence can be prevented. Many people are working to erase the silence and shame that keep sexual violence hidden and are working in their communities to create positive social norms and policies that promote equity and safety. You don’t have to work in the field of sexual assault prevention to make a difference. We can all help prevent sexual violence by modeling and promoting

Big Brothers/Big Sisters Annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake Event To Be Held Saturday, April 15

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

One of the most interesting and unique fundraising events that benefits worthy causes in the area is the annual “Bowl for Kids’ Sake” event that benefits Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Northeastern Pennsylvania, which serves the Lycoming County area.

It takes place Saturday, April 15 from 12 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.at Faxon Bowling Lanes. Bowl for Kids’ Sake is a national annual fundraising event benefitting all BB/BS programs across America. All the funds raised remain in the community where the event is held, supporting the mentoring relationships between child and volunteer.

B owl for Kid’s Sake is a fun and easy way for companies and individuals to make a difference in a child’s life. If you want to sign up individually or with a team, you can register online at www. bbbsnepa.org/bfks2023. Companies and individuals can also donate if they are unable to bowl.

Bowl for Kid’s Sake is their biggest

fundraiser of the year, and they need bowlers. This is an amazingly easy and enjoyable way to support a program whose mission is to help children who are our future.

According to Mary Martin and Wala Tillman, Program Specialists for Big Brothers Big Sisters, Big Brother, and Big Sisters began in 1904 when a court clerk in New York saw the need for positive mentoring of boys who became involved with the court system. Today Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is a 501 non-profit organization whose mission is to “create and support oneto-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.” Adult and older youth volunteers are matched with children ages 6 to 16. BB/ BS is an evidence-based program that impacts our future generations. We know that youth that have participated in the program for at least 18 months are 46 percent less likely to use drugs, 27 percent less likely to use alcohol, 52 percent less likely to skip school, and 33 percent less likely to hit someone. Becoming a Big is not difficult. Volun-

teer “Bigs” go through an approval process, including an interview, reference, and background checks. Once a “Big” is approved, they are matched with a waiting “Little.” “Bigs” and “Littles” are matched, having similar interests to encourage success. “Bigs” are asked to see their child on a consistent basis, weekly if possible. They spend time in the community engaging in various activities, from going for a walk, playing basketball, going to a park, or just getting ice cream. It is not about the activity; it is about the relationship, consistency, and care shown to a child. Matches are supported by staff through monthly contact. Staff is always available to offer support as needed. Several times a year, the program with program partners will hold group activities that allow other “Bigs” and “Littles” to meet and socialize with others who share the same hopes for the youth.

Lycoming County has had a BB/BS program in the past. Due to financial concerns, it gradually dissolved and was nonexistent for over a decade. BB/ BS was reintroduced seven years ago to the Lycoming County community. Administrators at Lycoming County Children and Youth recognized the value and benefit of youth mentoring for our children towards the development of healthy families to create a stronger

community.

Subsequently, the Agency started a local chapter of BB/BS, which is regionally sponsored by BB/BS of Northeastern Pa. (BB/BS NEPA), encompassing an 11-county region providing management, oversight, and support while reporting directly to BB/BS of America.

Lycoming County Children and Youth continue to support the Lycoming County BB/BS program by employing the program staff, as well as providing some additional financial means to help promote recruitment and retention of “Bigs.” This support limits the staff ’s need for extensive fundraising time so they can remain focused on program development. However, Lycoming County must fundraise to help with the continued growth, programming, recruitment activities, and matching events. Lycoming County BB/BS also offers a yearly scholarship that any volunteer or youth that are or have been in the program can apply for to assist them with trade school or college expenses. Since initiating the scholarship program in 2022, seven “Bigs” have been able to be assisted with their college expenses. It is planned that former and current “Littles” will also apply for scholarships.

Since its reintroduction seven years

A s we witness the beautiful changes of Spring, it is a good reminder of what the season means. New beginnings and transformations; it’s a season that symbolizes starting fresh and starting over. Every death experience is personal to each individual and finding the right way to proceed is important.

W hen we mourn a loss, an essential part of that first step is honoring the life. We can help plan in advance or at the time, a unique life celebration and funeral service that can be as special as your loved one, reflecting the personality, and displaying snippets of the hobbies and interest of the life lived.

Every life should be celebrated. Every celebration should inspire.

ago, BB/BS NEPA serving Lycoming County has been growing and thriving. Initially, they have provided a community-based program and have had well over 60 matches. Currently, they have 31 active community matches. Unfortunately, they have 27 youths patiently waiting for a “Big” in the community-based program. Waiting youth need a caring person to “ignite their potential and show them new possibilities.” Not only does a child benefit from having a positive role model, but the mentor gets a sense of satisfaction from making an impact on a child’s future. Lycoming County needs volunteers and especially men. They also have several couples that share the duties with their significant other in mentoring a youth. This is a great volunteer opportunity for a stable couple to partner together to enhance the life of a youth.

During the 2021-2022 school year, they began a BB/BS school-based initiative program, matching High School Juniors and Seniors with Elementary students at South Williamsport School District. We have had five matches in South Williamsport School District since its inception. The school-based initiative has been expanded to East

Lycoming School District in the 20222023 school year. The East Lycoming School District students have been very enthusiastic about becoming “Bigs,” and we saw overwhelming interest. Already they have made 14 matches in the East Lycoming School District. The school-based program assists not only the elementary youth who need some extra attention and positive role modeling but also the high school students with learning the importance of mentoring and community service.

Because children need heroes, Lycoming BB/BS began a “Bigs in Blue” program matching law enforcement and first responders as “Bigs” with “Littles” to help build those important relationships and trust as well as strengthen the bonds between our uniformed men and women and their community. They made their first match in March 2023 with a youth at Schick Elementary School and a State Trooper from the Montoursville barracks.

The support of your “Time, Talents, and Treasure” is critical to the success of BB/BS NEPA serving Lycoming County. If you want more information on volunteering or Bowl for Kids’ Sake, call Mary Martin or Wala Tillman, Program Specialists, at 570-433-3193.

healthy and positive relationships that are based on respect, safety, and equality.

“We all have the ability to positively influence others. You can help the people you care about question their harmful beliefs by speaking up if a friend makes jokes or comments about sexual assault or modeling consent with friends and family. Taking action in some way, shape, or form helps to change the thoughts and behaviors of a community.”

We also need to have a very clear and firm understanding of what consent is and what it looks like. RAINN offers this information regarding consent.

Consent is an agreement between participants to engage in sexual activity. Consent should be clearly and freely communicated. A verbal and affirmative expression of consent can help both you and your partner to understand and respect each other’s boundaries.

Consent cannot be given by individuals who are underage, intoxicated or incapacitated by drugs or alcohol, or asleep or unconscious. If someone agrees to an activity under pressure of intimidation or threat, that isn’t considered consent because it was not given freely. Unequal power dynamics, such as engaging in sexual activity with an employee or student, also mean that consent cannot be freely given.

How does consent work?

When you’re engaging in sexual activity,

consent is about communication. And it should happen every time for every type of activity. Consenting to one activity, one time, does not mean someone gives consent for other activities or for the same activity on other occasions. For example, agreeing to kiss someone doesn’t give that person permission to remove your clothes. Having sex with someone in the past doesn’t give that person permission to have sex with you again in the future. It’s important to discuss boundaries and expectations with your partner prior to engaging in any sexual behavior. You can change your mind at any time. You can withdraw consent at any point if you feel uncomfortable. One way to do this is to clearly communicate to your partner that you are no longer comfortable with this activity and wish to stop. Withdrawing consent can sometimes be challenging or difficult to do verbally, so non-verbal cues can also be used to convey this. The best way to ensure that all parties are comfortable with any sexual activity is to talk about it, check in periodically, and make sure everyone involved consents before escalating or changing activities.

What is enthusiastic consent?

Enthusiastic consent is a newer model for understanding consent that focuses on a positive expression of consent. Simply put, enthusiastic consent means looking for the presence of a “yes” rather than the absence of a “no.” Enthusiastic consent can be expressed verbally or through nonverbal cues, See AWARENESS on Page 12

AWARENESS

such as positive body language like smiling, maintaining eye contact, and nodding. These cues alone do not necessarily represent consent, but they are additional details that may reflect consent. It is necessary, however, to still seek verbal confirmation. The important part of consent, enthusiastic or otherwise, is checking in with your partner regularly to make sure that they are still on the same page.

Enthusiastic consent can look like this:

– Asking permission before you change the type or degree of sexual activity with phrases like “Is this OK?”

– Confirming that there is reciprocal interest before initiating any physical touch.

– Letting your partner know that you can stop at any time.

– Periodically checking in with your partner, such as asking “Is this still okay?”

– Providing positive feedback when you’re comfortable with an activity.

– Explicitly agreeing to certain activities, either by saying “yes” or another affirmative statement, like “I’m open to trying.”

– Using physical cues to let the other person know you’re comfortable taking things to the next level (see note below).

Note: Physiological responses like an erection, lubrication, arousal, or orgasm are involuntary, meaning your body might react one way even when you are not consenting to the activity. Sometimes perpetrators will use the fact that these physiological responses occur to maintain secrecy or minimize a survivor’s experience by using phrases such

as, “You know you liked it.” In no way does a physiological response mean that you consented to what happened. If you have been sexually abused or assaulted, it is not your fault.

Consent does NOT look like this:

– Refusing to acknowledge “no.”

– A partner who is disengaged, nonresponsive, or visibly upset.

– Assuming that wearing certain clothes, flirting, or kissing is an invitation for anything more.

– Someone being under the legal age of consent, as defined by the state.

– Someone being incapacitated because of drugs or alcohol pressuring someone into sexual activity by using fear or intimidation.

– Assuming you have permission to engage in a sexual act because you’ve done it in the past.

If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual assault, I encourage you to get help. In the immediate sense, contact law enforcement or ask to be seen by a member of the Sexual Assault Forensic Nurse Examiners Team (SAFNET) at any of the UPMC emergency rooms. A member is always on call to help. You can also contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE (4673) or chat online at online.rainn.org. In the broader sense, if you or someone you know needs help or counseling, or you want to do more to prevent sexual violence, I encourage you to contact the YWCA at 570322-4637 or ywcawilliamsport.org. They can point you in the right direction.

Local Author Launches Solarpunk Novella At Lycoming College

Phoebe Wagner, Ph.D., Lycoming College assistant professor of English, is releasing her debut novella.

Titled “When We Hold Each Other Up: A Solarpunk Novella,” the book mixes the sci-fi, fantasy, and solarpunk genres. It is being published by Android Press, and comes out on Tuesday, April 18.

The Publishers Weekly review describes the book as “a valiant attempt at imagining a future beyond capitalism and environmental collapse” in Wagner’s “intelligent debut.” It praises the worldbuilding, and says that

“Wagner’s fresh take on climate fiction offers both insight and entertainment,” citing that the novella shows “plenty of promise.”

“When We Hold Each Other Up: A Solarpunk Novella” is set in a post-climate-apocalypse world, and follows the story of Rowan, a young storyteller who strives to live in unity with the natural world. That world, however, is ruled over by magical beings called Harmonizers, and though they claim to want to restore balance to nature, they seem intent only on expanding their power. One day, a rogue

Harmonizer named Eduardo appears and warns Rowan that the nearby Haven City is expanding and putting the natural world of Rowan’s home at risk. Together, they set out to warn other naturalists of the dangers of the growing city, all the while collecting others’ stories and facing the harm buried in their own pasts.

Beyond teaching, Wagner is an author and editor with a focus on the intersection of speculative fiction and climate change. She regularly publishes short fiction, and is the editor of three solarpunk anthologies, including “Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk & Eco-Speculation.” Her debut novel “A Shot of Gin” will release in October of this year, and is being published by Parliament House Press. It follows Juniper “Gin” Cain as she survives in a world of vampires and radiated zombies while she struggles with a power she didn’t know she had.

“While I’m primarily known as an editor in the solarpunk subgenre, I feel it is just as important for me to write solarpunk stories to help address some of the gaps or holes I see in the growing genre,” said Wagner. “For instance, I’m always asked where’s the “punk” in solarpunk, and I purposefully included skateboarding, mutual aid projects, and anti-establishment themes throughout the book in response.”

On the same day as the novella’s release, Wagner will be holding a book reading and signing in the Humanities Research Center, in the Academic Center on the Lycoming College campus. The event will begin at 4 p.m. and will be free and open to the public.

County Hall Corner: History in the Making

By Larry Stout

In the March 1st issue of Webb Weekly, I wrote an article referencing a quote from Henry Ford, “Sorry, Henry, History is Not Bunk.” I used a poll of the “greatest athlete of all time” to prove how weak our country has become in understanding our history. To quote myself, “History is not ours to change or destroy. It is there for us to learn from. Failure to do so is a prescription for failure.”

Unfortunately for all of us, we are living in historic times whether we realize it or not. Unless there is a major shift, future historians will identify these years right now as the beginning of the death of democracy in the United States. There are many examples, but two that pop out quickly are autocratic (not democratic) government and election manipulation.

We can trace the current voting troubles to the 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush. The vote was incredibly close, coming down to Florida, where Bush only led by 537 votes. A recount was required, which went on for weeks and lowered Bush’s majority to 154 votes. But the December 18th certification deadline was not going to be met, so the United States Supreme Court made the decision by a 5-4 decision to reverse the Florida Supreme Court’s recount order, effectively awarding the presidency to George W. Bush.

The Democrats learned from this lesson and tagged President Bush with the disparaging moniker “selected, not elected.” From that time on, the 21st century has seen controversies in every one of the presidential elections since then. John Kerry called for hearings after his defeat in 2004. Barack Obama’s victories in 2008 and 2012 were continually challenged by Republicans who claimed Obama was not a United States citizen. Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election was attributed to Russian interference known as the Steele dossier, which in truth, was actually traced back to Clinton’s campaign itself! This, of course, did not deter the Democratic Party from impeaching President Trump twice for ‘tampering’ with the election. And do we have to mention the 2020 election? It even hit our own Lycoming Country, which

And then you consolidate your debts with a First Harvest Home Equity Loan:

In this scenario, your monthly payment would be lower, your loan would be paid off in 5 years, and you would SAVE OVER $16,000 IN INTEREST!

We can help you determine whether consolidation is right for you and suggest the best financial products to help you meet your goals.

Artisan Hearing Technologies, LLC

“I have had hearing loss for over 20 years. I have had several pairs of hearing aids. My hearing is very bad, especially in my right ear. My friend referred me into seeing Jennifer at Artisan. I could not believe it! She goes to the EXTREME for you. She was no t happy with the fi t of my fi rst earmold She said she could get better hearing if she remade it...and provide me with even better results. I was happy with what she had already d one. I thought that was great...but when I got the rema k e...I really couldnʼt believe how well I could hear. ..even b etter than I thought I would be able to with the severe hearing loss I have. Itʼs awesome! I can tell where sound is coming from and I am doing much better in groups with a lot of people talking. I always struggled with my other hearing aids..and I had a few different models in my past. She really hit a home run!” ~

had a petition signed by 5,000 people to audit the results.

Oh yes, that 2020 election controversy also led to the “insurrection” on January 6th, 2021. Karine Jean-Pierre quoted at the White House Press Conference on March 7th of this year that “the President has been very clear: January 6th was the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” Considering that Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 attacks were certainly more damaging to our nation than a few hours of ruckus, it also ignores the turbulent times of protest in the 1960s and 70s, such as the bomb explosion in the Capitol Building on May 1st (Mayday), 1971 by the Weather Underground. The following day’s New York Times noted that the bomb resulted in “wide damage.” Since 1969, this radical left group had already bombed several police targets, banks, and courthouses around the country, acts they hoped would instigate an uprising against the government.

But since we are talking about “the worst attack on our democracy,” how do we navigate the first-ever criminal indictment of a former United States president, Donald Trump? History can help us here. President Ford took amazing heat in 1974 for pardoning Richard Nixon. Yet, over time, even the Washington Post, which conducted a panel in July of 2014 hosted by Bob Woodward himself, recognized the wisdom in that decision. Even Senator Ted Kennedy and Richard Ben-Veniste, a former Watergate prosecutor and a Democrat, also ac-

knowledged that President Ford spared the country greatly by his actions.

But now, back to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s ‘history-making’ precedent, which the April 4th issue of Newsweek described as “Trump’s Indictment is a Blunder of Historic Proportions.” Pandora’s box is now open for any DA to conduct a grand jury against any president for past offenses, no matter how far-fetched. Don’t roll your eyes; this is already being imagined. The New York Times ran a story on April 1st stating, “Mr. Bragg may have been the first local prosecutor to do it, but he will probably not be the last. Every local prosecutor in the country will now feel that he or she has free rein to criminally investigate and prosecute presidents after they leave office.”

Our country has survived for two and a half centuries because our leaders, even poor ones, kept their eye on the future and fate of the country. Richard Nixon probably won the election against John F. Kennedy in 1960, but he chose not to challenge the result because he feared its impact on the country. President Ford pardoned Nixon because he realized the negative consequences to our nation were he not to pardon him. Both these men acted nobly yet suffered personally in those historical moments; our country was better for it. Today we might be witnessing our government leaders acting ignobly, and rest assured, history is taking note. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

That’s a Wrap

It was a beautiful Sunday. Felt like spring. I knew enough not to wear long sleeves to church. They keep that place pretty darn toasty for the elderly. I sit there just dreaming about some moving air and try not to wake up the upper lip sweat that’s been in hibernation since the end of September.

Meanwhile, Mabel is a few pews over with a scarf wrapped around her neck to go with a pretty sweater, afghan over her shoulders, and winter gloves on. OK, OK, so Mabel isn’t real, but that’s how I picture it on these Sundays. It can get toasty, and people be dressed like it is Christmas time in Alaska! I’m telling ya. It’s no joke. BUT my temp runs higher than most people.

One sweet lady in our church, Audrey, breaks out her paper fan halfway during the service. In my head, I’m thinking, “Girlfriend, I feel you!!” I swear I need to invest in one of those puppies or get one of those fans that go around your neck that are battery-operated. I’d sit over there in the blue chairs like, “Nothing to see here, Pastor, just keepin’ the upper lip tamed for service.”

Man, do I get sidetracked or what? Haha! OK, so at church, my hubby always sits on the end, then I’m by him, Tyler next to me, then Kenzy next to Ty. It’s always

Andrea McElroy

how we have sat as a family. Plus, Ty will not let anyone sit by me. That’s his spot. Kenzy has tried squeezing in there before, but he claims it. It must be the momma’s boy thing because I think it’s so sweet. I’ll let Kenz sneak in between Daddy and me some Sundays. (Or she just sits on Daddy’s lap.) But this Sunday, something happened that made me smile. Ty will throw his arm around me a few times in the hour service, but the one time he did, his dad tried to do it at the same time. I hear Ty whisper to his dad behind my head, “Psttt. Excuse me! I had my arm around Mom first. Back off.” Chris responded with, “Hey pal, I loved her first. You back off !” I told them there was plenty of me to go around, and inside was giggling. I just thought it was the sweetest thing ever and a moment I will never forget.

We headed home that same day to start making brunch. That Sunday, I made egg, sausage & cheese wraps, fried potatoes with peppers, and fresh fruit. I made five good-sized wraps. When Ty and Kenz got home from Sunday school, Ty smelled breakfast as soon as he walked through the front door.

“Mom! What are you making? Smells delicious!”

See COOKIN on Page 26

I told him the menu, as he came out to see me putting the egg mixture into the wraps. He was so excited. He always jumps up and down and rubs his hands together over most of the meals I make. This kid is such a foodie and gets downright excited!

As I served everyone the wraps after we said a prayer, I told Chris and Ty that the one wrap left was for them to share if they wanted it.

Ty got done with his wrap first. “Hey, Dad, you gonna want any of this?” he asked while looking at the last breakfast wrap laying on the plate.

“Uhhh, yea, bud!” Chris said.

Ty grabbed a knife and started measuring it out. He told his dad he could have a fourth of it, and he would eat threefourths. Chris wasn’t going for it. It was now the battle of the breakfast wrap.

“Guys, do you want me to cut it?” I asked.

“No, Mom, I got this. I’m going to cut it down the middle, but I’m going to eat the bigger half,” Ty said.

There was going to be no even piece. His dad was getting the shorter end, no matter how you looked at it. These wraps were not small either! They were the biggest tortilla shells I could buy. I honestly didn’t

think the last one would even get eaten or get fought over.

This situation had me in stitches. Chris started laughing because you couldn’t make it up! Tyler was on a roll about this wrap and how he was cutting it to make his end bigger. He said he loved Mom’s food more than his dad did, so he should get the bigger piece.

Chris gave up and ate the half Ty cut for him. He knew he wouldn’t win this battle.

When Ty gets on a roll, you can’t help but just crack up at him. He loves picking on his dad, and we had such a good laugh over it. Kitchen table giggles are the best!

Well, folks, that’s a wrap! *enter cheesy smile here* Sorry, I couldn’t pass that up.

McElroy Family Breakfast Egg, Sausage, & Cheese Wraps

Fry up 1 lb. of your favorite sausage in a pan until browned on medium heat.

While the sausage is cooking, crack eight eggs into a bowl and season with pepper.

Mix well with a fork.

Slowly add eggs to the drained browned sausage. Stir until eggs are cooked.

Shred Cabot extra sharp cheese all over till to your likin’. Stir into mixture.

Place lid on top of the pan until cheese is melted.

Transfer the egg mixture to the center of a soft tortilla shell and fold the sides in.

Serve immediately while hot.

Fried Taters & Peppers

Take four red taters and stab those babies a few times with a fork.

Place the taters in the microwave and cook on high for five minutes. Roll them over and cook for another three minutes or so. Once you can easily stab them with a fork, remove them and place the taters on a cutting board. (Let cool for a few minutes, or you will burn your fingertips off !) Slice into chunks. Set aside. Heat up a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Once the pan is hot, throw in the taters with a diced-up pepper and 1/4 cup of chopped onion. To season, I added paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic herb seasoning. Stir occasionally until the taters get nice and crisp. It doesn’t take long at all and smells amazing!

ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20

Aries, your emotions may cloud your judgement in the days to come. It’s better to seek the advice of a third party who can guide you without the added drama.

TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21

Messages from the universe could come across as confusing or vague, Taurus. You might need someone with cosmic intuition to help you sort out what is going on.

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. is damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood ow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to the lack of nutrient ow.

As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die”

IF

YOU

they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms.

Treatment at Twin Hills can include light therapy. The low level light therapy is like watering a plant. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

Scents for Spring

As with clothing and skincare, fragrance is also seasonal, maybe even more so when you start to think about it. You have your obvious scents, like pine and cinnamon for Christmas, florals for spring, and sandalwood for summer. Scents can come in many forms — perfume, oil, beauty products, candles, flowers, baking, etc. There are many avenues to incorporate scent into a space or upon a person. Scents can be welcoming, they can tell a story, and they can certainly set a mood. For this spring, I’m looking to change up my personal fragrance. I have different types of perfume not only for different times of the year but also for different places, spaces, and activities. Here is a rundown of things to consider when picking out a scent for the season, whether it be a daily signature scent or just for special occasions. Smell can be very emotional; it has the strongest link to memory sensors in the brain than any other of the five senses.

I try to be mindful of that when pick-

Ulsamer

ing a personal fragrance. What feelings does it evoke? Does it remind me of a particular place or person? Sometimes a smell can have bad memories or associations, so obviously, stay clear of those. When shopping for a perfume, take the time to breathe it in deeply. I like to close my eyes, focus on what the top notes and undertones conjure for me, and consider what occasions a particular perfume would be best suited. A crisp citrus smell may not feel appropriate for a date night, while a heavy floral scent can overwhelm at work.

A trend I’ve been sniffing around lately are sweet, edible, or gourmand fragrances. These scents have notes that resemble the flavors of food. These tend to be sweeter, richer scents recalling treats like cotton candy, marshmallows, and whipped cream. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of a sweet scent, at least on my person. My preferred means of accessing these edible notes is via a candle. Recently, I picked up a “Party Like It’s Yo’ Birthday” candle from Candier that smells like birthday

Bernadette

cake, buttercream, and bourbon — now that’s a party! Other edible scents can include products that incorporate vanilla and fruit flavors. I’m not saying you can’t wear these types of scents, but be thoughtful if you do; a little goes a long way.

Speaking of application, personal fragrance can come in many forms, from oil roll-ons to body sprays, to oldschool perfume toppers. I think spring is a great time of year to experiment with body-and-hair mists and sprays. There are so many intriguing scents in spray form. Pacifica, available at Target, has hair and body mists in single bottles and in sets of three. I recently picked up their Dream Moon spray, which features patchouli, sandalwood, and pink rose notes, which is hitting all of my marks for a warmer weather scent. Target also has Being Frenshe’s Cashmere Vanilla spray for hair, body, and linens. I like the idea of spraying your bed and towels to acquire a hint of fragrance versus spraying directly on pulse points. Plus, what a dream to awake wrapped in fresh scent. Talk about a sunny spring morning!

Of course, strong scents aren’t for everyone. This spring, you may want to play around with skin scents that are vaguely salty with notes of musk and amber and sometimes vanilla. Skin

scents can be very subtle, so I’d recommend applying them directly with a roll-on perfume. Carter + Jane’s Surfer Girl roll-on has lemongrass and blue tansy top notes, a base of rosewood, and middles notes of honeysuckle and bergamot. Honeysuckle, this time of year, is a quintessential fragrance and helps you bring the outdoors inside. For a beachy version, check out Skylar’s Salt Air rollerball with hints of driftwood, sea salt, water lily, and vanilla. With this, you can give your olfactory some foreshadowing of summer fun to come.

The iconic spring floral that has fallen out of fashion in recent years is set for a comeback this spring. This comeback also features florals mixed with fruity scents. Think grapes and roses, jasmine and clementines, or lavender and tart apple. If you’re looking to splurge on a signature scent that revamps flowers with fruits, consider Jo Malone London’s Necataor Blooms and Honey cologne, which has a fresh and light feel perfect for the season and a great Mother’s Day idea.

Springtime is a time for renewal, and if you are ready for a fragrance makeover, then consider one of the options above. Or get out there and start smelling. Go to the store and just sample some scents and smell what sparks.

The Mini but Mighty Shamrock-Shaped Solution for Lawn Renovation

That lush, green lawn most strive for is struggling to survive as our climate experiences “weather whiplash,” meaning abrupt swings in weather conditions from one extreme to another. Last season, drought conditions were so dire in California billboards shouted, “Brown is the New Green.” This season, despite early, extreme flooding in California, evidence suggests the length and depth of droughts will increase in upcoming years, becoming more frequent and severe.

Outdoor water usage is still astronomical, synthetic chemical use is ever-present and fuel-guzzling lawn blowers and mowers sing all summer. Traditional lawn maintenance is expensive, unnatural, untenable and increases greenhouse gasses, wastes water, pollutes ecosystems and reduces biodiversity.

Average American families use 320 gallons of water daily, about 30% outdoors, with more than half devoted to watering lawns and gardens, according to the EPA. Nationwide, landscape irrigation is estimated at almost one-third of all resi-

dential water usage, totaling nearly 9 billion gallons daily.

Gas-powered lawn mowers spew pollutants that can cause planet-warming gases, contributing to climate crisis and drought. According to the EPA, gas-powered lawn equipment releases more than 22 million tons of CO2 emissions and estimates over 17 million gallons of gasoline are spilled refueling lawn equipment; that’s more than all oil spilled by Exxon Valdez.

There are many issues causing harm to environmental health, from the ridiculous, like billionaires taking 17-minute flights in private jets, producing 2 tons of CO2 emissions, to everyday lawn care wasting staggering amounts of water for aesthetics while polluting the environment through run-off and toxic emissions.

Cash rebates, up to $5,000, are being offered to some for the removal of grass lawns. To get the rebate, other water-efficient options must be put in place. It’s time to take a page from the past; sowing clover seed can create a great-looking, water-efficient, sustainable lawn. De-

Miniclover is drought-tolerant, simple, stunning and sustainable with low-to-no maintenance

cades ago, clover was standard in lawn seed mixes. Then agricultural chemical companies created herbicides to rid lawns of broadleaf plants, killing everything but grass, clovers included, branding them weeds.

“Today, clover is making a comeback,” said Troy Hake, president and owner of Outsidepride.com, offering drought-tolerant grasses, clovers, wildflower seeds and more. “Tik Tok’s #cloverlawn has over 65 million views, evidencing it’s time for sustainable options, like adding ‘miniclover’ or replacing lawns with it. Miniclover (trifolium repens), is onethird to half the size of white Dutch clover, only grows 4-6 inches and produces a thick, carpet-like look that blends well with turf. Less expensive than grass seed, it’s a natural solution for self-sustaining, low-maintenance lawns that look beautiful and help eliminate the need for fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and weekly mowing. It’s healthier for people, pets, soil and waterways. You can’t go wrong with it.”

There’s nothing you can do about those 17-minute private jet flights. However, anyone with a lawn can add-in miniclover and redefine what sustainable lawns and responsible lawn care looks like. Sales of miniclover rose dramatically last season, surely an indicator that this lawn renovation trend was well-received and continues to grow.

Benefits:

Nitrogen fixer. Miniclover takes nitrogen from the air and “fixes” it in soil, eliminating the need to apply nitrogen, keeping lawns green and growing while adding natural nitrogen to surrounding soil.

Drought tolerant. Miniclover is drought-tolerant and can stay green all summer with minimal watering.

Deters bugs. Grubs that feed on grass roots will not eat miniclover, and adult beetles and bugs are deterred from laying eggs in it.

Crowds out weeds. Miniclover is evenly dispersed via stolons (stems grow horizontally along the ground), crowding out weeds, preventing new weeds and controlling erosion.

Low-to-no maintenance. You can mow miniclover — the more it’s cut, the smaller the leaf size — or let it grow. Miniclover only blooms once in summer, providing bees with nectar, or mowing will prevent blooming.

Thrives in sun to partial shade. Miniclover does well in partial shade that receives some direct sunshine daily.

Stands up to soil and subsoil compaction.

Immune to “dog patches.” Dog urine discolors lawns, but miniclover stays green and lush.

Feels soft and springy on bare feet and looks like ordered whimsy.

So... what’s not to like? (Joan Casanova & outsidepride.com)

Asmall renovation project at The Williamsport Home has allowed the creation of Whitetail Ridge, an additional unit to care for seniors who are transitioning between the hospital and their home or the hospital and another care setting, further expanding on the

success of the Home’s existing transitional care unit, Ravine Ridge.

In 2014, The Williamsport Home introduced Ravine Ridge, a brand new, state-of-the-art transitional care unit consisting of 18 rooms offering individuals the opportunity to rehabilitate in a beautiful environment with the

comforts of home. Each room offers private accommodations, climate controls, flat-screen TVs, and high-speed internet in a setting where nurses are available 24/7 and intensive rehabilitation is provided to enhance recovery and assist with transitioning back home.

“The Ravine Ridge transitional care program has exceeded our expectations in touching the lives of community seniors who need short- stays for rehabilitation as well as medical and clinical management of complex care needs. Our Board of Directors and Leadership team saw both a need and an opportunity to expand on the successes of our current program while making some adjustments to better meet the needs of seniors in our community,” said Don Pote, Executive Director of The Williamsport Home.

“When we met in October 2022 for our annual strategic planning meeting, we evaluated a number of options to further our mission for seniors in this community. One of our biggest strengths is our short-stay, transitional care unit, Ravine Ridge. Many of our independent living and personal care residents who live on campus as well as friends, family and neighbors have benefited from the care and services provided on Ravine Ridge,” says Candy Dewar, Chair of The Williamsport

Home Board of Directors.

This set the strategic plan into quick motion. The unit was quickly renovated and some amenities added to create a comfortable environment for individuals who need short-term rehabilitation or complex nursing management. The average length of stay for seniors needing transitional care is 20-30 days, depending on insurance provider. “Our goal is to make the transition from hospital to Whitetail Ridge as seamless as possible. We want our customer’s primary focus to be their recovery,” says Denise Stayer, Nursing Home Administrator. “This unit is dedicated to providing high acuity nursing care and clinical management for medically complex patients transitioning from the hospital to home. We will offer a higher complexity of care along with the luxuries and comforts of home.”

The Williamsport Home is a Continuing Care Retirement Community sitting on an 86-acre wooded campus in Loyalsock Township that offers Independent Living Apartments, Personal Care, Short-Term Transitional Care, Skilled Nursing Care, Secure Memory Care, and End of Life Suites/Comfort Care. The Williamsport Home is commemorating its 150-year legacy of providing caring and compassionate service to the greater Lycoming County community.

If healthier eating holds a prominent spot on your list of goals, you may feel it’s necessary to eliminate some of your sweetest favorites. However, committing to a nutritionally friendly way of life doesn’t have to leave desserts by the wayside. Instead, rethinking nighttime treats with better-for-you ingredients like California Prunes as a quick substitution can make healthier eating easy. As a versatile ingredient that can replace added sugar, fats and eggs in all kinds of recipes, prunes can also add nutrients important for bone and gut

health.

Plus, the copper in prunes inhibits bone breakdown, while boron plays a role in calcium metabolism and polyphenols can help decrease bone breakdown through their antioxidant power. As a fruit that’s high in vitamin K, which helps improve calcium balance and promotes bone mineralization, prunes are also a “good gut food,” meaning a single serving (roughly 4-6 prunes) can help support a healthy microbiome.

ey’re easy to use in recipes that can become favorites in your household such as

these Chocolate Energy Balls. Enjoyed as an easy, on-the-go snack, they’re a perfect way to refuel for an adventure, recharge after a workout or to simply savor as a healthy snack.

Chocolate lovers rejoice: is rich, delicious, gluten-free, grain-free Chocolate Covered Prune Fudge Cake is naturally sweetened using prunes instead of added sugar. If brownies are more your style, prunes can also take the place of eggs in these Vegan Brownies for a family-friendly treat that won’t wreck your eating plan.

The Bookworm Sez

By Terri Schichenmeyer

“The Stable Boy of Auschwitz” by Henry Oster and Dexter Ford c.2023, Grand Central $13.99

244 pages

One way or another, you’ll get by.

That’s the thing about you: you’re resourceful. You’ll always figure out a way to survive, to work around a problem, to slap on a bandage and keep moving. You never fail to find a way, and in the new book “The Stable Boy of Auschwitz” by Henry Oster and Dexter Ford, that will save your life.

For many years, Dexter Ford was a patient at Dr. Henry Oster’s optometry office and eventually, Oster “became a friend.”

One day, Ford noticed a faded blue tattoo on Oster’s forearm and when he asked about it, Oster told him a story...

Heinz Adolph Oster was an only child, and he and his parents lived in relative affluence in the German city of Cologne. His father was a respected war hero but when Hitler came to power, it mattered not: the Osters were Jewish.

On his first day of school, young Oster was a victim of Nazi violence; not long afterward, his family lost their home and Oster’s father was “forced into slave labor.” When he was twelve years old, Oster’s family was sent to a ghetto in Poland to live a

two-room flat with almost two dozen other people. Because he could speak German — a rarity among Polish Jews — young Oster survived by being a Nazi messenger, a “runner.”

“The Lodz ghetto,” he says, “was essentially a waiting room for death.”

It was where Jews were held before being sent to Buchenwald, Auschwitz, or Treblinka. It was where Oster’s father died, his corpse left outside to be carted off.

In August of 1944, Oster and his moth-

er were sent to Auschwitz, where they were separated and he watched her being dragged to her death. In the camp barracks there, he learned to take life-or-death risks to live. He found kindness in slivers between horrors, and a camp assignment that briefly soothed his soul...

That historical novel you’ve been reading? Put it away and don’t bother bringing the bookmark that’s in it. You won’t need it.

“The Stable Boy of Auschwitz” is true, and it’s too riveting to put down.

If you ever thought that little things are insignificant, here’s a story to read. Author Dexter Ford shares Henry Oster’s tale of close-calls, near-misses, fortuitousness, and small graces that gave Oster enough succor to survive that which was “incon-

ceivable.” They begin with a brief-butthorough history of how Nazism rose, and the Holocaust started, and that’s chilling — partly because we know, and we know what’s to come.

Fear and dread are everywhere on those pages but it’s tempered, surprisingly, by the audacity of Oster-as-a-boy. Despite the horror that Oster-as-adult relays, deep senses of resignedness, hope, and resourcefulness are embedded strongly in this tale, right through to the crushing, terrible relief that is its ending.

Absolutely, hand this to your teenager to read, and if you’ve got an Anne Frank or an Elie Wiesel book nearby, add “The Stable Boy of Auschwitz” to that pile. Indeed, this is not a book to pass by.

The Williamsport Crosscutters will once again honor active and retired military during the 2023 season.

UPMC Expert: Consider Becoming A Lifesaving Organ Donor

By Heidi Weeder, BSN Intensive Care Unit, UPMC Williamsport

Nobody likes waiting. As humans, we’re naturally impatient. In today’s world, we have unlimited information and instantaneous gratification at our fingertips – we want it, and we want it now. But imagine being one of more than 118,000 people currently waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. All the resources are still in your hands which has greatly impacted how those needing a transplant are finding donors, but you’re still waiting and it’s not just for a delivery van to drop off a package or an email to hit your inbox; it’s a matter of life and death.

Types of Organ Donation

There are two types of organ donation: living and deceased donor.

Living organ donation is when a healthy adult donates a kidney or part of their liver to a patient on the waiting list. For patients in need of a liver or a kidney transplant, a living-donor transplant is a first-line treatment option, not a last resort. Living-donor donation allows the patient to receive a transplant sooner. During a living-donor liver transplant, a surgeon removes part of a healthy adult’s liver and transplants it into a patient with end-stage liver disease. The liver regenerates in a few months. This leaves both the living donor and the recipient with a functioning liver. During a living-donor kidney

transplant, a surgeon removes one kidney from a healthy adult and transplants it into a patient with end-stage kidney disease. This procedure is possible because you can live a healthy life with one functioning kidney. Living donor transplant offers an alternative for people on the transplant waiting list and increases the number of organs available, saving more lives.

Deceased organ donation simply means that you authorize medical professionals — at the time of your death — to assess your eligibility to transplant your healthy organs or tissues to someone in need. If you choose to be a deceased organ donor, you may be able to donate your heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, intestines, or lungs. You also can donate tissues, such as your corneas, heart valves, ligaments, veins, and bone. Deceased-donor organs are in short supply, and the amount of time a patient will need to spend on the waiting list can be unpredictable.

Why It’s Important

On average, 22 people die every day while waiting for a transplant. It takes just one donor to make an impact. One donor has the potential to save eight lives and improve the lives of up to 75 others. It can also bring happiness to the donors and the recipients and their loved ones. Organ donation can also be a rewarding and positive experience for the family of the donor. It can help a family work through the grieving process and deal with their loss by knowing their loved one is help-

ing save the lives of others.

People of all ages, races, and ethnicities, and even those with pre-existing health conditions, can be potential donors. When a person dies, they are evaluated for donor suitability based on their medical history. The most important factor for a successful transplant is a compatible blood type between donor and recipient.

How Can You Help?

On average, one person is added to the organ donation wait list every 10 minutes. By registering as an organ donor, you can save lives and offer hope to those waiting on a transplant. Even elderly and chronically sick people can become organ donors and donors’ family members are not financially responsible for the recovery and processing of donated tissue and organs after death.

April is Donate Life Month and is meant to spread organ donation awareness and encourage registration to become an organ donor. Making the decision to become an organ donor is an important one. Every person that says yes to organ donation gives hope to those waiting for organ, eye, and tissue donations. Registering to become an organ donor is the first step to improving or saving lives. But there’s much more you can do. Spread the word, share this article with your social networks, and ask friends and family whether they’re registered. Host an event to raise awareness for an individual on the organ donor waiting list. Encourage more living donors to help by contributing financially to the American Transplant Foundation.

Three Ways Parents Can Encourage Social Emotional Learning in

A Harris Poll survey on behalf of KinderCare found 83% of parents believe it’s important for children to be raised with social emotional skills, 84% believe it’s important children learn to treat others the way they want to be treated and 83% believe kindness should be a core value in the way children are educated. Now, parents want a focus on social emotional skills, mental health, kindness and understanding differences.

Consider these three ways parents can encourage social and emotional learning in their children:

1. Practice Emotional Literacy at Home: Disagreements among parents and siblings are almost inevitable at home. While this can seem challenging to handle, it can serve as an opportunity for children to practice emotional literacy by identifying their feelings and the feelings of others. It also gives children the opportunity to practice their listening skills and put themselves in the other person’s shoes. By using these skills, children can develop a stronger sense of empathy and understand how their emo-

tions drive their actions.

2. Practice Mindfulness with a Relaxing Activity: Mindfulness can help children understand and regulate their emotions, especially when it becomes a regular habit. Parents can instill this habit in their kids by picking a set time to do activities in a calm space at home every day such as reading a book, listening to calm music or something as simple as deep breathing.

3. Provide Unplugged Opportunities to Connect with Other Children: Activities that don’t revolve around a screen and encourage in-person socialization with peers can provide opportunities for children to practice building their social emotional skills. Programs like KinderCare’s Champ Camp include indoor and outdoor group activities as well as field trips designed to help children use their natural creativity and curiosity to learn and develop important social skills.

How to Prevent Lyme Disease in Dogs

Lyme disease is a bacterial illness often spread through the bite of the black-legged tick. A bacterium known as borrelia burgdorferi is carried inside a tick and can be transmitted from the tick’s saliva into the bloodstream of an animal host, whether that host be a person, pet or wild animal.

Though it is often transmitted to humans, Lyme disease is less common in dogs, even after they’ve been bitten by an infected tick. A report published

in the Journal of Veterinary Medicine found Lyme disease causes clinical symptoms in only 5 percent of dogs who are affected with the disease.

Lameness, joint swelling, arthritis, depression, weight loss, and other appetite issues are noted as the most common symptoms.

No matter how large or small the risk for dogs acquiring Lyme disease may be, pet owners can employ various measures to prevent the illness from affecting their companion animals.

Use a tick preventative. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that pet owners should speak with their veterinarians about the best tick prevention products for their dogs. Most are broken down into two classes: topical and oral. Topical tick preventatives are liquids placed on the skin or chemicals embedded in special collars. Oral medications are consumed and absorbed by the pet. There are pros and cons to both types, which warrants an honest discussion with a pet professional.

Stick to trails. When walking dogs, keep to clearly identified and cleared trails and try to avoid tick-infested spots. Ticks are found in sandy, wooded and grassy areas. They find their way onto animals by detecting approaching motion and then crawling or dropping on to people or animals. Also, keep home yards mowed to cut down on tall

grasses where ticks can hide.

Physically remove ticks. Inspect dogs when they come inside from the yard or after walks in parks and elsewhere. Remove any ticks that you can find. Some may be quite small and hard to detect. Carefully remove embedded ticks to keep the tick’s mouth parts intact.

Vaccinate against Lyme disease. Veterinarians offer Lyme disease vaccinations for dogs that are administered yearly. Should an infected tick bite the dog, a vaccinated animal will be less likely to contract Lyme disease. VCA Animal Hospitals says vaccination is recommended for pets who live in endemic areas or travel to areas where Lyme disease is prevalent.

Schedule wellness visits that include Lyme testing. Annual vaccines are necessary to maintain immunity to Lyme disease. Vets often will conduct blood tests to check for the presence of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses during wellness visits. Should Lyme disease be present, an antibiotic, typically doxycycline, will be prescribed. Lyme disease affects all types of animals. To keep dogs safe, pet owners can embrace a mix of preventative measures, including physical inspection, lifestyle changes and vaccination.

What to do About Moss in Your Lawn

Alush, green lawn is a point of pride for many homeowners. Eye-catching landscaping anchored by a healthy lawn is one of the key ways to improve the value and curb appeal of a home. In fact, the experts at HGTV say an attractive and well-maintained landscape can add as much as 10 percent to the value of a home.

Maintaining a thriving lawn takes effort, and that means recognizing when the green in the yard may

not necessarily be coming from soft blades of grass. Invasive greenery, including moss, can infiltrate a lawn and that can be problematic if left unaddressed.

A mossy lawn is a sign that certain conditions are ripe for the moss, but not necessarily the grass, to grow. According to Lowes, moss thrives in certain conditions, which should be addressed if homeowners hope to corral it.

Moss does well in acidic soil, more

so than traditional grasses. A soil test can confirm if the pH needs to be adjusted to make it more hospitable to grass and less friendly to moss.

Compacted soil and excess thatch can make it easier for moss to take root. These conditions also can make the soil damp and restrict drainage, something that promotes moss growth.

Moss can grow in shady conditions. If patches of the lawn have been overrun by moss, there could be too much shade in the area. Trimming back trees or shrubbery may help; otherwise, homeowners may need to look into hardscape or plants that thrive in such conditions to remedy shady and damp areas on portions of their landscapes.

Moss typically can be removed the same way one would dethatch a lawn. It involves rigorously raking or agitating the lawn to loosen the moss. This can be done by hand with a rake, or in the case of a lot of moss or a large lawn, with a dethatching blade attachment for a lawn mower.

Aerating the soil will help keep moss that was removed from returning. In addition, amending the soil so that it

has a more dense nutritional profile by adding compost, as well as improving drainage and adjusting the pH, are keys to keeping moss from returning.

For pesky moss, The Spruce suggests making a solution of one box of baking soda to two gallons of water and spraying this solution on the patches of moss. It is a natural alternative to using chemical products. Certain sources indicate a glyphosate herbicide could work on moss, but the World Health Organization considers glyphosate to be a probable human carcinogen and it is prohibited in certain areas.

Moss may be green, but it’s often not the type of green homeowners desire in their lawns. Learning about moss can help when removing it and preventing it in the future.

What to do When Parents are Poor Sports?

Heated debates with referees and trash-talking players is something one may expect when watching professional sports. But such behavior is not expected of parents on the sidelines of youth sporting events. However, unruly parents are on display with increasing frequency at various youth sporting events.

According to a 2017 survey by the National Association of Sports Officials, adult behavior is the reason more than 75 percent of all high school referees quit.

About 80 percent of new officials stop after two years on the job. This has led to a shortage of officials across the youth sports landscape.

Richard Weissbourd, a psychologist and senior lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, says there may be several reasons behind the uptick in poor parental behavior at sporting events. The media and social media platforms have normalized demeaning and degrading people with whom one disagrees without fear of recourse, Weissbourd says. Also,

the behavior could stem from parents wanting to compensate for shortcomings in their own youth sports histories. Others may be motivated by notions that winning is all that matters.

Children are the biggest losers when parents misbehave at youth sporting events. Rather than having fun in sports with teammates, youth experience unnecessary stress and anxiety about the game. Some are too anxious to compete in events for fear of losing. Others are being affected by pressure-induced statements thrown in, such as, “I know you are going to win today.” Some kids are embarrassed by their own mothers and fathers yelling at them to do better, or demeaning other players and coaches.

Youth sports leagues are starting to take inventory of unsavory parental behavior at kids’ sports events. While it’s one thing for parents to be invested in their children’s success, it’s another to allow it to lead to inappropriate or intense behavior that is far from sportsmanlike. Here’s how it may be possible to change patterns.

Share a new perspective. Oftentimes sports events, particularly at the high school level, are recorded and/ or streamed for viewing later on. Problematic parents can be called in to view recaps of their behavior which may be caught on video to see that they may need to tone things down. This could be an embarrassing wake-up call.

Rally for changed policies. Youth sports leagues and schools can be peti-

tioned to implement stricter policies for dealing with parents who are out of control at sporting events. Restriction from attending games could be one avenue, particularly for repeat offenders.

Model good behavior. Coaches and officials can remain calm and collected even in the face of aggression directed their way to illustrate to players how to behave. Furthermore, actions like congratulating the winning team and not supporting cheating or making illegal maneuvers during play should be reinforced.

Lend an ear. Sometimes parents act out at games not because of the game itself, but some other stressor that they may have going on in their lives. Mitigating the situation may come down to listening to a problem and providing a healthy outlet for that frustration.

Reducing incidents involving out-ofcontrol parents at sporting events is becoming a larger priority as issues continue and fewer coaches and officials are inclined to volunteer their time.

PennDOT Announces New License Plates To Help Grow and Sustain Plants and Pollinators

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that, thanks to recently passed legislation, vehicle owners will now be able to purchase a ‘Pollinator’ license plate. Sixty-five percent of the proceeds from the license plate will be deposited into the Pollinator Habitat Program Fund. The Pollinator Habitat Program Fund is dedicated to supporting ongoing efforts to reinvigorate the populations of insects which pollinate plant life.

This Fund will create naturalized gardens and meadows planted with pollinator-friendly species of flowering plants specifically for bees, butterflies, beetles, and other insects which may have been adversely affected by the loss of their native habitat. With more flowering plants to provide sustenance, these insects will be given a chance to thrive in these reclaimed areas. A further aim of the program is to help reverse the decline of federally listed threatened or endangers species, such as the monarch butterfly.

“The importance of supporting a healthy pollinator population in Pennsylvania – a state that depends on agriculture as part of its economy – cannot be overstated,” said PennDOT Acting Secretary Mike Carroll. “Developing habitats for this important group of insects contributes to both the environmental and economic health of our Commonwealth,

VALLEY MILLWORK

and PennDOT is proud to offer a license plate to help support these important efforts.”

The Pollinator license plate is now available for passenger cars or trucks with a registered gross weight of not more than 14,000 pounds. The license plate contains the standard Pennsylvania license plate colors of blue, white, and gold and depicts an image of a monarch butterfly, honeybee, and green sweat bee visiting a flower. Applicants for the Pollinator license plate must submit a completed Form MV-911, “Application for Special Fund Registration Plate.”

“Pollinators are critical to the environment and to feeding Pennsylvanians,” said Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. “One out of every three bites we eat is made possible because of pollinators and their role in promoting biodiversity and plant health in our food system, and this pollinator license plate is a way for us to help grow and sustain plant and pollinator life.”

More information, including eligibility requirements and images of license plates, is available on the Registration Plates page on PennDOT’s Driver and Vehicle Services website.

More information on PennDOT’s efforts to help revive pollinators is available in PennDOT Pollinator Habitat Plan.

The Latest Updates on Alcohol and Overall Health

The subject of alcohol and its effects on overall health is complex. Alcohol figures prominently at many social functions and even in situations where individuals are operating in a professional capacity, such as at business dinners or conferences. As a result, many adults find it hard to avoid alcohol, even if they have concerns regarding its potential effects on their short- and

long-term health.

The issue of alcohol and overall health has garnered additional attention in recent years thanks in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital utilized data from a national survey of adults in the United States and found that excessive drinking increased by 21 percent during the pandemic. Those researchers, whose findings were pub-

lished in the journal Hepatology, estimated that a one-year increase in alcohol consumption during the pandemic will result in 8,000 additional deaths from alcohol-related liver disease.

Such research highlights the link between alcohol consumption and overall health. Individuals interested in learning more about recent research into that link can consider the following information.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for America, which are jointly developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health & Human Services, emerging evidence indicates that even drinking within the recommended limits for alcohol consumptions can increase the overall risk of death from various causes. Such causes include various types of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

The notion that moderate consumption of alcohol can have protective health benefits is increasingly being questioned. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that various studies have suggested it’s impossible to determine if improved health outcomes among moderate drinkers are due to moderate alcohol consump-

tion or other differences in behaviors or genetics between people who drink moderately and people who don’t.

A 2022 study of binge drinking published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that binge drinking increases the risk of experiencing alcohol-related harm in the short-term and in the future. The CDC defines binge drinking as consuming five or more drinks on an occasion for men or four or more drinks on an occasion for women.

The link between alcohol and overall health is significant. Individuals concerned about their alcohol consumption are urged to speak with their physicians. Individuals in need of immediate help in the U.S. can contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration helpline 24/7/365 at 1.800.662.HELP (4357).

Held

County Anti-Polio Campaign to Hit Peak

Next Sunday

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Acampaign to eliminate crippling polio through mass immunization of area residents with Sabin oral vaccine will be climaxed next Sunday, April 21, when hundreds of doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and volunteers staff the 33 immunization centers to dispense the Type 1 vaccine.

Urging all-out participation in the campaign by the Lycoming County Medical Society and the Council of Community Services, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Clarence A. Welliver, chairman of the drive said, “everyone should take the few minutes to visit one of the sites to receive the two drops on a sugar cube.”

Sabin oral polio vaccine provides permanent immunization against paralytic polio and prevents the recipient from carrying the dreaded disease to others.

Mr. Welliver said the Sabin Sunday Oral Vaccine campaign is aimed at immunizing Lycoming County’s entire population

of 109,000 people over a three-month period. He pointed out that infants too young to chew the tablet will receive drops placed directly in the mouth. Each individual must receive three types of Sabin oral vaccine in order to receive complete immunization against Polio, Mr. Welliver explained, since there are three types of Polio, each requiring a special vaccine.

The 33 county clinics, each in charge by a physician member of the county medical society, will be open from noon to 6 p.m. Donations of 25 cents will be accepted for each immunization to help defray the costs of the anti-polio drive, but Mr. Welliver emphasized that no one will be turned away or embarrassed it they are unable to make the donation.

All the clinics are being held on Sundays in order to enable everyone to get full protection against Polio, Mr. Welliver said. He added that Lycoming County will be out to beat the state immunization record set on SOS Sunday in Carbon County which had a response of 88.3 percent of its population.

The

2023 PA Youth Spring Gobbler Hunt

By Jon Pries

Next week! Yep, in just over a week, the one-day Youth Hunt for spring gobblers will be held on Saturday, April 22nd. It is a day that many young hunters and their adult mentors have been looking forward to for months. It is held one week before the opening of the regular statewide spring gobbler season to give the new and young hunters a slight edge at success rather than wait until the throngs of spring hunters enter the woods. In preparation for the big day, there are several things to keep in mind.

The limit is one bird, and it must be bearded, which means it could be a young Jake with a short beard, an old Tom with a long beard, or even a bearded hen is legal (please note, however, that bearded hens do nest and raise broods). The hunting hours begin one-half hour before sunrise and end at noon. Hunters should be out of the woods by 1 p.m.

Only licensed junior hunters and

properly permitted mentored youth (16 and under) may participate and must be accompanied by an adult as required by law (see License information section of the current Pennsylvania Hunting and Trapping Digest).

Birds taken by mentored youth under age seven must be tagged with a harvest tag transferred to the mentored youth from his or her adult mentor. Remember that dogs may not be used during this season, and hunting should be done by calling only – stalking is not permitted.

Wearing of fluorescent orange is not a requirement during this spring gobbler season. However, it is recommended that a hunter wear a fluorescent hat and/or vest while moving. Once in a stationary position or in a blind, it is advisable to display a banner of fluorescent orange within 15 feet of your location.

The use of a blind is highly recommended, depending on the age and activity level of the young hunter you are taking. We all know how fidgety a young person can be, and the blind

will hide any of the extra movement that a new or young hunter will be engaged in when they become restless. The blind will also mask any activity by the hunters as they talk (whisper) about the morning’s activities. While the day of the Youth Spring Gobbler Hunt is really only several hours long, you might consider allowing a youth to bring along a game that will occupy their time – otherwise, you may be bombarded with questions and talking throughout most of the morning!

Depending on the age and physical makeup of the youth, you need to think

about what shotgun would be appropriate for the occasion. Granddad’s old 12 gauge double-barreled shotgun will, no doubt, be too much for a new hunter who has little experience in shooting a shotgun. A wise alternative just may be a semi-automatic shotgun, as much of the recoil is taken up in operating the action of the gun – thus, the “felt recoil” is much less. Another good option is to allow the young hunter to use a 20-gauge shotgun. This gun will operate just like a 12 gauge, with a lot less recoil. Here, too, a semi-auto will produce noticeably less recoil than a

pump, single-barrel or double-barreled shotgun. The ammunition that is produced today for the 20 gauge that is used for turkey hunting is highly effective, and you should not hesitate considering this option, especially if the youth’s size and stature warrant it. Today’s TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) ammunition provides much better penetration and pellet density than older lead shot, thus making the 20 gauge, and even the .410 gauge, much more effective than before.

We frequently recognize that introducing young hunters to our sport is

critical for the long-term survival of the outdoor activities that we have grown to cherish over the years. It is a great bonding experience and a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time together when you take advantage of this one-day Youth Hunt with an eager-to-learn youth. This day together can be a very important one in the process of passing on our hunting tradition.

Remember to emphasize to a new or young hunter to always positively identify the target and the area around and beyond – safety is paramount.

After looking at the title of this article, you’re probably thinking I’m about to tell you all about a lousy day I had last week — not, so; I’m actually talking about a crappie day and, more specifically, the business of catching crappies.

I know everybody is kind of hung up on catching trout right now but believe me; I find it just as rewarding spending a day on a lake pulling in crappies at a regular pace. Not only is the catching fun, but crappies, when prepared properly, make an excellent meal.

We actually have two species of crappies, but to be honest, many people, including those who fish for them, probably can’t tell the difference between the two.

They look very similar, but a white crappie will show dark vertical bands while a black crappie has dark blotches scattered randomly.

Also, a white crappie will have five or six dorsal fin spines and rarely seven, while a black crappie will have seven or eight dorsal fin spines.

In addition, the distance from the eye to the dorsal fin is equal to the length of the dorsal fin base on a black crappie, but on a white crappie, that distance is greater than the length of the dorsal fin base.

Now that you can tell the difference let’s

go catch some.

To be honest, the differences don’t mean a whole lot since the two species often hang out together and behave in a similar manner, and it’s not unusual to be fishing over a school of crappies and catching both species.

The thing about crappies is that they can be caught all year around, and some of our biggest catches actually come through the ice in the dead of winter. Clearly, though, one of the best times to go after crappies is in the spring when they head into shallower water to spawn. During the pre-spawn days and after the spawning period, it’s best to seek crappies in deeper water since they are more sensitive to light than most other sunfish species.

The spawn will not be underway just yet, so I have been concentrating my fishing efforts in depths of 12 to 18 feet, where schools can be located near the bottom and suspended at various depths in between.

Without a doubt, if you plan to go after crappies when they are located in the deeper water, it’s a big advantage to have sonar equipment on board. My brother and I were out last week, and when the sonar indicated fish, we caught them, but when they disappeared from the sonar screen, so did the action. Sure, you can

find them without sonar simply by fishing at various depths until you hit fish, but it’s a whole lot faster with sonar.

It’s best to keep your lures small; small lead-head jigs tipped with a one to twoinch plastic worm, grub, or tube in any number of colors will likely produce. We used chartreuse, white and black and green, or black and white, but I have even seen pink, or blue be effective.

Small minnow imitations are also good choices.

Certainly, any number of live baits will produce, but we usually find that artificials seem to be all you need.

Keep your equipment geared down to the fish you are after; ultralight spinning outfits spooled with no more than a four-

pound test line.

In the next few weeks, once the spawning is underway, it’s time to head to shallower water — no need for sonar equipment here. I fish the same lures but cast around wood structures, rock piles, and even weed edges. This may also be a good time to attach a bobber to help prevent hanging up in wood, weeds, and rocks. Again, there is a good chance no bait is needed; that same small jig with a small plastic grub beneath the bobber can be very effective.

Don’t get me wrong; I haven’t replaced my trout fishing with crappie fishing — I’ve just combined the two.

Oh yeah, bass fishing is getting underway; I guess I’ll have to combine the three of them.

Women’s Hoops End Great Season With Side Show

The college basketball season has officially ended, but not in the manner many people thought it might. Last week’s national championship victories by the LSU women and the University of Connecticut men clearly showed they were the better teams in downing Iowa and San Diego State, respectively. Winning the titles as #3 and #5 seeds

capped off a wild and wacky March Madness Tournament where stunning upsets busted most folk’s brackets following the first week of play.

Dan Hurley’s UConn Huskies captured the fifth national championship in school history, ranking them behind only UCLA, Kentucky, and North Carolina and tying Duke and Indiana in men’s titles won. For flamboyant and

controversial LSU coach Kim Mulkey, it was her fourth national championship but the first in school history for LSU. Mulkey had previously won three titles while coaching at Baylor.

Scott Lowery

It was a tournament season that saw women’s basketball make great strides in attracting eyeballs (television ratings established record-setting numbers), and particularly across the Big Ten, the women’s game may have been played at its most competitive level in league history. Regular season champion and number one seed Indiana along with Iowa, Maryland, and Ohio State, were ranked among the best teams in the country.

Unfortunately, the aftermath of LSU’s 102-85 championship win over Iowa has left tongues wagging and sour tastes in the mouths of many after some questionable officiating and player trash-talking took away the spotlight from what had been a talent-filled tournament most entertaining for the fans.

Officiating sports, particularly the

fast-paced game of basketball, is a difficult task. Game officials at all levels are all-too-often criticized, and it seems the stands are always full of second-guessers expressing opinions of calls made or not made on the court. But, for me, it is hard to recall so much criticism raging on as to how this game was officiated. While not a record, 37 fouls were whistled, 21 in the first half, causing star players from both teams to be forced to the sidelines.

It was an enormous disappointment for fans who didn’t get to see the top players on the court for good portions of the game because of a series of what was perceived to be ticky-tac fouls. While social media was ablaze, John Adams, former NCAA national coordinator of men’s basketball officiating, offered his educated opinion on the subject.

“Having that level of officiating in that type of a game, I think, really hurt the meteoric rise of women’s basketball. There is not perfect officiating anywhere ever, but man, that was awful.” While calls that were made drew criticism, some things that were not called may have been even more disturbing. While demonstrably working the sidelines, Mulkey was often on the

playing court expressing her displeasure and, at one point, even touching a referee to get her attention, all without any penalty being assessed.

In the final seconds, with the LSU win well in hand, Tiger star player Angel Reese followed Iowa’s Caitlin Clark (herself no shrinking violet) with a taunting display of un-sportsmanship, again with no call being made regarding her actions.

Reese, who transferred to LSU from Maryland and is one of nine new players on LSU’s roster, remained unapologetic for her actions.

“All year, I was critiqued about who I

was. I don’t fit in a box that y’all want me to be in. I’m too hood. I’m too ghetto. But when other people do it, y’all say nothing. So, this was for the girls that look like me, that’s going to speak up on what they believe in.”

Since arriving in her home state last year, Mulkey has been drawing a lot of attention for her chosen coaching wardrobe. For the championship game, the ostentatious coach strutted the sidelines like a proud peacock in a sequin tiger print suit showing off her feathers meant to draw attention. For those interested, the outfit is currently available online for $550.

“I’ve got outfits, man. They give me outfits to wear, and I’m just loving it, so I don’t have to spend a dollar.”

The 60-year-old coach kicked off the tournament on March 17 in an allwhite look, complete with “Kiss Me, I’m a Queen,” stitched in green across the front. In the team’s second game, she wore a long, sparkly, rainbow sequin duster with black pants and a pink cami.

In her Final Four game against Virginia Tech, the chosen ensemble was a pink jacket with large pink flowers going down the arms, white slacks, and heels.

All of this, the bad officiating, Reese’s actions, and Mulkey treating the coaching box as if it were the runway at a chic fashion show provided a sideshow atmosphere to what had been a coming-out party for women’s basketball, inching it closer to the attention long paid to the men’s game.

Indeed, LSU and UConn have every right to let Queen’s 1977 hit “We are the Champions” blare across their respective campuses. But, at the same time, they should be aware it wasn’t meant to be confused with Judy Collins’s 1973 hit “Send in the Clowns.”

BLUE SEAL OF EXCELLENCE CERTIFICATION

Many of the hackers from all over the globe just tuned in for the very first major of the year. I don’t know about you, but I find myself completely glued to the television the first weekend in April. Instead of fishing or drywalling — I usually lock myself in the basement with a loaf of bread and a two-liter of soda. It’s “a tradition unlike any other.”

Do you want to hit some balls? NO. NOT REALLY. I will pay you? HOW MUCH? $20. OK.

I have never been to Augusta National, and many of my friends say the HD television cameras don’t do her any justice. What? The rolling hills and magnificent Magnolias are pretty sharp on this new 65-inch Panasonic. The layout is superb, and the course itself is absolutely flawless. Every blade of grass is just perfect, and the bunkers will never need an upgrade funded by the local taxpayers. Look it up, Johnny.

Yes. The views are just splendid, and the golf is just as brilliant. The Mas-

ters brings out the very best in the world’s top players. This year’s tournament has an added twist with the return of LIV golfers. They are back in the field after a long battle. West side story. Long story short. Several of the best left the PGA tour to join the new Saudi-based tour. They were on the fence. Not allowed. It got ugly. Many defected to earn more money. Appearance-based. Fewer commitments. The Americans got mad. And tried to ban them.

WHERE IS YOUR FATHER? I think he is in the basement. PAINTING?

No. I think he is watching The Masters. WHY IS THE DOOR LOCKED? I don’t know. He isn’t responding to any phone calls either. JAMIE?

There is no doubt that Tiger will be the fan favorite as his impact on the game and crowds is unrivaled. Many thought he was prime rib. He is older but still is trending. Just look at the ratings. Scottie Scheffler is currently the top dawg. He is playing great, and he will be a major contender. We all have our picks, and my lovely bride’s

money is on John Rahm. His game is perfect for Augusta, and if he can figure out that streaky putter — checkmate. I can totally picture the strong Spaniard in Butler’s Cabin.

OK. Here is the scoop. The 2023 Masters will have already been played by the time you are all reading this. My editor needs her stuff by Friday morning. I usually make my deadline and pipe one 285 yards down the fairway. Then there are times I completely whiff and shank a wedge into the hedges. I have been rolling lately.

That being said, it would be literally impossible to predict the 2023 champion. But I can almost guarantee it will be one of the eighty-seven golfers. It will not be Kevin Na. He just quit.

I’m here to pick up the van keys. Lycoming Golf. I DIDN’T KNOW WE HAD A GOLF TEAM. We do. We have uniforms and everything.

I love Rory McIlroy too. The long-hit-

ting foreigner has been so close so many times, and he only needs a green jacket to complete the career slam. Rory is focused and is battle tested. Then there’s the scrappy Viktor Hovland. He never gets into trouble and is one of the most consistent young players. I could probably name another twenty-five or so players who have a legitimate chance of winning. Ready? DJ, Kuch, Ian, Max, Brooks, Patrick, Hideki, Prowant, Paul, Adam, Charl, Marc, Gary, Collin, Scottie, Tony, Jason, Radspinner, Xander, Haotong, Henrik, Zach, Bubba, Freddie, Sandy, Rose, Jason, and Rickie might contend for a green jacket.

The Masters really inspires me to start playing, and I know that I am not alone either. There is something very special about this legendary tournament that moves the average golf fan. Anyone else lock themselves in the basement for an entire weekend? Who went outside to hit a few backyard pitch shots during a commercial break? Did you watch all of the action while stroking a few putts on the living room carpet? It’s completely normal, folks — a tradition unlike any other. Cheers.
