Moving Towards May

As I awoke early and watched the news, it was just more of the same. Please don’t let as-seen-on-TV affect your mental health; turn it off, pray, and go about your day. There are a few topics I’ve been meaning to hit, as well as some words from you on black bear break-ins, so away we go.

First up are identity theft, fraud, and scams. There just seem to be more and more criminals attempting to contact individuals and con them out of what they’ve worked so hard for. They will stop at no end and will use any angle possible.

I have watched warnings during the tax season of how these scumbags are using the fear of tax collection, pastdue taxes owed, and even refunds to get information and money out of people. Please hang up or discard however they attempt to reach you. Then, if you want peace of mind, call whoever they claimed they were representing. The list of offices you deal with as far as taxes is a pretty short list, and they almost always use the United States Postal Service to reach you.

No matter the scam, these individuals prey upon older folks, particularly

women. If somebody reaches out to you and you are a winner of anything, please beware. If it were legitimate, you would have registered or entered the contest. They will already have your information. If it’s too good to be true, it’s a scam. I’m sure many of you reading this are thinking about the different ways you have been contacted that have been flat-out shady, so you didn’t answer the call or immediately disregarded the message.

I’ll finish this topic with this — please notify the proper authorities immediately, if you believe it’s a scam. Doing nothing will just allow another innocent person to be victimized. Trust your instincts and keep a hold of your personal information and wallet.

Next up on my list; please use common sense when it comes to any kind of outdoor burning this time of year. As I’m penning this, although we got a little rain, things are dry. I’m hoping before you read this, mother nature takes care of this problem.

Late April and May are always dangerous for brush and forest fires. The direct sunlight is very strong, and all of last year’s dead vegetation provides a perfect fire source. Wildfires

can spread incredibly fast, especially on a windy day.

Moving right along, May Primary time is just around the corner; please educate yourself about the candidates. The governmental decisions that affect you most begin right here at home. Please take the time to know who wants your vote, and what they are about before Tuesday, May 16th, to vote.

Lycoming County has some very important seats to fill. All three county commissioner spots are on the line, two court of common plea gavels are up for grabs, as well as many other positions. Now is the time to prepare to have your voice heard through the power of your vote.

There are also many city, municipality, and school board positions on your local ballots. Again, these folks have a great effect on your everyday life; they are responsible for making your town a place to call home. Your May vote counts!

That gets me to a couple of bear comments about my article from last week. Thank you to the folks that reached out with concerns about me putting my garbage in the garage; if

you remember, I was going to do so to eliminate an outside food source.

Well, it seems the Pennsylvania black bear has been the perpetrator of a few smash-and-grabs in our area. As in smashing their way into garages and grabbing whatever they want. This includes that garage can idea I had as well as other food sources. A couple of bears have even helped themselves into those refrigerators so many of us have in the garage. Maybe that’s a way for me to get rid of that case of Bud Light.

Seriously though, bears can do a lot of monetary damage. Not to mention who wants to head out to the garage and be greeted by a black bear? A frightened bear in a confined space could be a really dangerous situation.

As I ended my article last week, it’s up to you to determine if that bear has crossed the line and has become a nuisance; if so, it’s time to contact the local Game Commission office.

I’m glad and safe to say I was too lazy to put my garbage toter in the garage and now have a reason not to. I always love hearing from you; remember, my contact information is always on page 4. Let’s all be safe out there, focusing on the world around us, not the electronic device in front of us. God Bless America.

Babe Ruth Day

“The sultan of swat!”

“The king of crash!”

“The colossus of clout!”

“The colossus of clout!”

“BABE RUTH!”

“THE GREAT BAMBINO!”

“Smalls, Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player that ever lived. People say he was less than a god but more than a man. You know, like Hercules or something. That ball you just aced to The Beast is worth, well, more than your whole life.”

George Herman Ruth. He was born on February 6th, 1895, in Baltimore, Maryland. A baseball star who played as both a pitcher and outfielder, he is best remembered for his hitting ability.

He began his MLB career as a star left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. In a decision that Boston probably still regrets, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Ruth to the Yankees for $100,000 following the 1919 season. The next season, Ruth hit 54 home runs with 158 runs scored and 135 RBI, setting the baseball world ablaze with his talent. He would top those numbers in 1921 with 59 home

runs, 177 runs scored and 457 total bases.

Ruth is regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture and is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time.

In 1936, Ruth was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its “first five” inaugural members. However — amazingly — he was not a unanimous selection. Though that may have had something to do with Ruth’s offfield antics. He was known have a penchant for fine food, liquor, and women.

April 27th is “Babe Ruth Day”. On April 27, 1947, at the behest of Commissioner Happy Chandler, the New York Yankees hosted “Babe Ruth Day,” celebrated in every ballpark in organized baseball in the US as well as Japan, in honor of the man who made the country fall in love with baseball.

Terminally ill with throat cancer, Ruth appeared at Yankee Stadium to thank his former club for the honor. Ruth urged the 58,399 packed in — the season’s highest attendance — to truly appreciate “Your national pastime, the only real game I

think in the world.”

According to baseballhall.org, “Ruth has been called an American original, undoubtedly the game’s first great slugger and the most celebrated athlete of his time. Soon after honing his skills at St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys in Baltimore, he came to the big leagues as a lefty hurler with the Red Sox, where he won 89 games in six years while setting the World Series record for consecutive scoreless innings.”

Babe Ruth was and still is known as one of the best baseball players of all time. From hitting record after record and receiving many accolades, Ruth came to be known as ‘The Colossus of Clout’ and ‘The Sultan of Swat.’ He was a big star and inspiration to many kids.

Ruth retired in 1935 after a partial season with the Boston Braves, ending his 22-year big league career with 714 home runs. His lifetime statistics also include 2,873 hits, 506 doubles, 2,174 runs, 2,214 RBI, a .342 batting average, a .474 onbase percentage and a .690 slugging percentage.

In honor of Babe Ruth Day, go out and play a game of catch, grab a bucket of ball and swing for the fences, catch a local Babe Ruth League game, or be like me and watch “The Sandlot” for the eleventy billionth time.

“Yesterday’s home runs do not win today’s games.”

Brotherhood Alliance to Honor Several For Community Service

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Along-time radio personality, a business developer and community activist, a dedicated sports volunteer, and several “unsung heroes” are among those to be honored at this year’s annual Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance banquet to be held on Wednesday, May 3, at the Genetti Hotel.

The guest speaker for the banquet has overcome some daunting obstacles to be an example and inspiration to others. That speaker is Loretta Claiborne.

She was born partially blind and intellectually challenged; she was unable to walk until she was four years old —eventually, she ran. She would cross the finish line of 26 marathons, twice placing among the Top 100 women at the Boston Marathon. She has won medals in dozens of events. She introduced President Bill Clinton at the 1995 Special Olympics.

She was honored with the 1996 ESPN Espy “Arthur Ashe Award for Courage.” Her inspiring story has been told in a Disney Production film — “The Loretta Claiborne Story.” Her story has also been recounted in a biography titled In Her Stride.

The “William Picklener Community Service Award” winners are Ken Sawyer and Frank Pellegrino.

Sawyer is the veteran play-by-play an-

nouncer for Williamsport Area High School and news and sports director for WRAK Radio. He has lent his voice to the Little League World Series Radio Network and is an assistant coach for Little Mountaineer Little League. He has served in various capacities for fundraising campaigns by civic and nonprofit organizations in Lycoming County. He is a proud Vietnam War veteran, having served there from 1969-1970.

He has served his home church, the Newberry Church of Christ, in various capacities.

In 2002, Sawyer was honored with Lycoming County United Way’s Douglas C. Dickey Humanitarian Award and, in 1989, was honored with the Williamsport Rotary Club’s Non-Rotarian of the Year Award. He also has won Best Sports Play-by-Play of the Year from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters numerous times. He is an inductee into the West Branch Valley Sports Hall of Fame.

Frank G. Pellegrino, founder and former executive vice president of Primus Technologies, served as president or CEO of numerous businesses in Lycoming and surrounding counties and serves as board president for the Hiawatha, chairman of the Williamsport Municipal Airport Authority, and is on the boards for the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, Williams-

port YWCA, and the Susquehanna Health Foundation. He previously served on Pennsylvania College of Technology’s Perkins Planning and Participatory Committee, Bloomsburg University’s industrial advisory council for the electronics engineering technology degree program, the boards for the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania and the Community Arts Center and the governance board for St. John Neumann Regional Academy, among others.

Pellegrino was named the 2022 Philanthropist of the Year by the Central Pennsylvania chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and won the Boy Scouts of America’s Distinguished Citizen Award in 2017. He lives in Williamsport. In 2018 he was the recipient of the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank’s “Hunger-Hero Philanthropist Award.”

Tim Saar is this year’s Ray Keyes Sports Award recipient.

He has been a key leader in the Jersey Shore Softball Association for the past 39 years.

He is proudest of his volunteer activities with Little League Baseball/Softball, serving in many capacities with his local league. He is perhaps most noted there for his extensive time spent umpiring. He served for five years as a softball consultant for District 12.

He is involved with other sports as well. He served as a volunteer with the Jersey Shore Area Youth Wrestling Association from 2010-2016.

He has also served on the Jersey Shore

Area High School Sports Auxiliary staff for 27 years.

And finally, six Unsung Hero Awards will be presented. They will be presented to Rick Armstead, Sharon Colt, John and Sue Best, Rebecca Elkins, and Hurley Kane. They are winning this award for “their service to the homeless, senior citizens (and) young adults with challenging home situations.”

The mission of Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance is to actively promote tolerance of all religious, civic, and political beliefs to demonstrate commitment to the promotion and maintenance of the cultural, racial, and social fabric of the greater Williamsport Area and all of Lycoming County.

The LCBA sponsors an annual trip to the Holocaust Museum located in Washington, D.C. This annual trip is for high school and college students and has taken place every year since the Museum opened.

The LCBA sponsors a Diversity Tour. The Diversity Tour was started in 2018 to allow individuals to better understand the different cultures in our immediate area.

The Community Outreach mission of the LCBA is focused on promoting brotherhood throughout the community through the use of speakers, projects, and events throughout the year. These programs are designed by LCBA in conjunction with community leaders with a two-fold purpose: to meet a specific need within the community and, by doing so, promote brotherhood, tolerance, and harmony through the activities or functions of the project/event.

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

Minimalist Makeup

Beauty trends come and go, but accentuating your authentic, natural features, aka looking like your best self, never goes out of style — which is precisely where minimalist makeup comes in. Minimalist makeup is a mix of skincare, no-makeup makeup, as well as using fewer products in a smarter way. Think skin-perfecting tinted moisturizers, foolproof brow gels, and multitasking color pigments to achieve a natural-like glow perfect for daily wear. The goal is low-key effort for high-impact results. Here’s a rundown of what products to include and steps to take for a minimalist makeup look.

Bernadette Ulsamer

then that is minimal for you. I personally include bronzer and eyeliner in my minimalist makeup routine, while others may not need concealer or lip color.

The basics to be found in a minimalist makeup bag include a lightweight foundation, concealer, brow gel, mascara, blush/lip combo, highlighter, and powder. However, coverage is subjective; a full face of makeup to one person could be sheer to another. Minimal implies less product, so whatever is less than what you would normally wear,

Another way to think of minimalist makeup is yourskin-but-better makeup, so proper skin care is a must. Well-prepped skin, aka exfoliated and hydrated, gives you a beautiful glow, which helps you use fewer cosmetic products. I prefer to exfoliate after a shower the night before and then focus on hydration in the morning using mists, serums, eye cream, SPF, and an overall face moisturizer before applying any makeup. Wait, isn’t this about using fewer products? Yes, fewer cosmetics, but there’s no skimping when it comes to skincare with minimalist makeup.

Once your skin is prepped, next even out your complexion using a tinted moisturizer or light foundation. If you find you desire more coverage, you can build up and apply more product, but

OUTFITS

start with a light touch. If you’re just looking to spot correct or conceal any areas of concern, you may not need all-over application. Using concealer may do the trick without having to apply foundation first. And vice versa, if minimal full-face coverage evens everything out, no need for concealer.

The next step in the minimalist process is perfecting your brows. You can use a clear brow gel or mascara or opt for a tinted formula to shape and enhance eyebrows. I start with a clean mascara to prep my arches, then fill in sparse hairs with a brow pencil, and set with tinted brow mascara. There are powder-based brow shadows that, if you’re deft enough, can result in natural-looking fullness.

After brows come lashes, you can enhance your natural lashes with a clean mascara to separate each lash to lift and lengthen. Clumpier formula mascara or faux lashes are a bit too glamorous for a minimalist take on daily makeup.

While you could certainly call it a minimalist makeup day with an evened complexion, brows, and lashes, you can also amp up a no-makeup makeup look with a gentle sweep of color to the

cheeks from a liquid or cream blush. Or, better yet, a multitasking lip and cheek balm for an additional pop of color on the mouth. You want a shade that gives you a healthy flush to the face, not anything too bold or vibrant. You can also add a bit of accent to your face with a subtle highlight. Just remember the goal is to make it look like it could be your skin, so nothing too shiny or glimmery.

Set your face with a light touch of finishing powder, which is a useful step for warmer months and for those with oily skin types. If you’re on the dryer side or loose powder isn’t to your liking, try a light-reflecting pressed setting powder. And if you haven’t before now worked in some SPF or sunblock, use a brushon powder with a mineral-based sunblock to set and protect your skin. Round out your look with a tinted lip balm or oil for a soft, pretty lip moment. And lastly, spritz on some scent. This is not a necessary step for minimalist makeup, but I always find it a nice way to end any beauty routine, whether you’re glamming up for a fancy event or just wanting to put your best face forward on a quick grocery run.

County Hall Corner: Three Cheers for Volunteers

By Larry Stout

It is a very rare week when there is not a recognition for some organization or cause that results in a proclamation from the Lycoming County Commissioners. There is no lack of options, as by some counts, there are as many as ten to twelve such proclamations every day, week, and month!

It starts with Polar Bear Plunge Day on January 1st to Make Up Your Mind Day on December 31st. And yes, there are the same kind of lists for weeks and months as well. However, there are actually only twenty annual special weeks recognized by presidential proclamation. These ones are not frivolous or quirky but highlight something that really and truly should be highlighted.

This definitely applies to the last week of April, which is designated as National Volunteer Week. A recognition week is badly needed, as volunteers have become an endangered species, and that is a documented fact. The University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy has just released a study entitled “The State of Volunteer Engagement: Insights from Nonprofit Leaders and Funders.” This documents that the bad news is worse than you think.

According to the study, there is a terrible vacuum among organizations that need volunteers across the nation. As many as two-thirds note they are in need of more volunteers to maintain the level of their operations, and of those, one-third may cease completely if the situation does not change. The report blames COVID-19 for much of this, but the problem has existed for years before this; the shutdowns just accelerated it.

Actually, the lack of volunteers has been a problem for decades. Though Volunteer Recognition Week was instituted by President Nixon in 1974, it was President George H. W. Bush who made American Volunteering the key point in his 1991 State of the Union Address. He called for a commitment to our country’s volun-

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!

teer organizations doing good across the nation with a “thousand points of light.”

Retired folks in particular, should consider giving some time to their neighborhood organizations such as churches, libraries, food banks, youth sports clubs, the list goes on and on. For those still in their prime, organizations such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Scouting, CASA, Neighborhood Watch, and Prison Visitation and Support are good examples of worthwhile causes that are always seeking new members or helpers.

But the number one organization that everyone should think about is the local volunteer fire company. Of Pennsylvania’s 2,462 fire companies, more than 90 percent are volunteer companies. No, it is not necessary to become an actual firefighter or EMT, although these are certainly needed badly. These companies also need to conduct fund-raising to keep going, and this is where volunteers come in. Every single one of these volunteer fire companies would appreciate those who would be willing to come out on a Friday night to help with bingo, or to bake some refreshments for a sale, or even clean up when an event is over. Even a little help is better than no help at all. State fire officials estimate that volunteer firefighters save Pennsylvania communities about $10 billion annually.

But more and more, volunteers are

needed, not just in fire companies but throughout our society. This is especially important to Lycoming County. The Countywide Comprehensive Plan listed eight key priorities for the 2020 decade, and one of these was the need for volunteers. In fact, the heading of the plan states, “Volunteerism and civic engagement, particularly among young people, are insufficient to sustain community institutions and services.”

It was that statement that inspired me to want to make 2020 the “Year of the Volunteer.” My goal was to emphasize for the entire year the ‘heroes’ of volunteerism and the areas of greatest need. Unfortunately, COVID-19 showed up, and my dreams shut down.

But that only changes the circumstances and not the urgency. Everyone, even the homebound, can assist in some way or another. The great thing about volunteering is that it gives as much back to the volunteer as the volunteer gives to help.

Everywhere I go, I hear people complaining about the state of our country right now, and I have to agree we are going through some hard times. But as one person has said, “Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.”

YMCA Director Emphasizes Need for Physical Training

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

The article entitled, “Physical Fitness Is Needed By All,” written by E.B. Prugh, Director of Physical Fitness at the Williamsport YMCA for the “Sun,” offers some startling facts.

Mr. Prugh’s figures show we are “soft” and how the Williamsport YMCA is meeting the crisis.

“Victory Through Fitness” should be the slogan of every youth and every adult, realizing that physical fitness is a pressing national need. Physical fitness is a vital part of the war effort related to production, to speedy and efficient transfer of armed forces, and to the morale of the fighting fronts and home front. It should be the patriotic duty of each in the war effort to train himself to a much higher level of endurance, to resist fatigue, to build strength and

power and to maintain a supple body.

“With our entry into the war, the urgent need to establish physical fitness programs by YMCAs, colleges, schools and recreation centers was immediately recognized.”

The War Manpower Commission is equally interested, along with the Army and Navy in a program aimed at power maintenance of a civilian population engaged in all forms of industry, agricultural and home life.

The Williamsport YMCA is meeting the crisis by establishing of the following features, conditioning gym classes, swimming clinics for boys 8 to 17 years, beginning classes for men 18 years of age and older, commando training for boys both indoor and outdoor physical tests of 10 parts for 18 years and up, intensive swimming for pre-induction high school boys.

Transforming Grace

This article is the first in a series describing how God changes us from spiritual infants into fully mature spiritual adults who are able to successfully pursue and accomplish God’s purposes. Friend, the call to spiritual maturity is imperative. It is the call to have the mind of Christ and to be holy – even as our heavenly Father is holy. I urge you to take it seriously – as does the apostle Paul:

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is— his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2

The call to transformation is so important to Paul that he uses a story from the life of Moses to describe it. Whenever Moses met with God, his face would be radiant. The light was so bright they had to put a veil over his face. In time, the light would begin to diminish, but every time Moses met with God, his face would become radiant again. Paul encourages us to engage in the transformational process – so that our faces will shine brighter and brighter!

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed

into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is Spirit.” II Corinthians 3:18

Friend, God loves you just the way you are—and He loves you too much to let you stay that way. God has holy purposes for your life. Reaching the full potential of those divine purposes requires transformation. It is how we become the light of the world.

When God’s grace saved us, we still thought and acted like the world. In fact, it surprised us how much we still struggled with the world. But make no mistake, when God saved us, everything changed. We were born again as a new creation, the start of a new story, and like babies, we were helpless and immature. Paul describes this infant condition in I Corinthians 3: 1-4,

“Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?”

No one would kick their baby out of the family because they are helpless and undeveloped. As parents, we provide everything the baby needs to help them grow and mature. By His

transforming grace, God does the same for us. All He asks is that we take it in.

Here’s the rub: we want to change ourselves. It’s that human pride thing. We want to do it ourselves so we can take pride in our achievements. Instead of yielding to His grace, we fight and scratch to change. It doesn’t work. We must change His way because we don’t have the power to change ourselves. This comes only through His transforming grace.

Do you see a pattern here? We can’t save ourselves. Salvation comes only through the grace of God. We can’t transform ourselves, either. Transformation into spiritual maturity comes only through the grace of God. Our job is not to produce change in ourselves; rather, it is to allow God’s grace to transform us.

Metamorphoo

The word transformed Paul used in Romans 12:1-2 is translated from the Greek metamorphoo The prefix meta means with, and in this usage, means change after being with. The root word morphoo means to change form in keeping with inner reality. When we think about metamorphosis, we generally picture a caterpillar changing into a butterfly. Inside that caterpillar is everything necessary to become a magnificent flying machine. Metamorphosis brings that inner reality to the surface.

In Christ, your heavenly status has changed. God has declared you to be holy and has fully adopted you into His family—a coheir with Christ. See Romans 8:17. God’s saving grace has completed its work in you – it is your inner reality. Now it is time for your inner reality to come to the surface. You must live holy.

For that to happen, you must be transformed, metamorphoo, by the renewing of your mind.

Discipline

God is calling on us to yield to His transformational grace. This is done through discipline. When we discipline ourselves to partake in grace, it changes us.

Suffering

Discipline requires suffering as we force ourselves to choose what is best over what is easy.

So yes, transformation is tough. It is why Paul described it as being “a living sacrifice .”It is why he said, “I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave.” See I Corinthians 9:27. It is why Jesus called us to walk the narrow road and to take up our cross and lose our lives as we follow Him. See Matthew 7:13 and 16:2426.

Amazing Grace

Grace is always painful before it is amazing. It confronts our pride and arrogance. It exposes our laziness and self-centeredness. It lays bare the awful thoughts and bitterness we hold in our hearts. The old saying is true, “No pain. No gain.”

But after the pain, grace transforms us. Transformation doesn’t come easy. Conviction is always painful. Discipline requires suffering. Be thankful! God is treating you as His child! Read Hebrews 12:1-13.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4

And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker,” — so God made a Farmer. God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board” — so God made a Farmer.

Paul Harvey said it so well when he made his “God made a Farmer” speech. If you have never heard the whole thing, you will have to google it sometime; it’s awesome!

Summertime is a time that farmers should really be praised. I mean, they should be praised all year round, but being the stepdaughter of a farmer, I know how extra hard they work and sweat on the long summer days. Plowing and planting the fields, new calves being born, and much work to be done to get ready for winter all over again. We have many farmers in our

area, and I think they need to be recognized. All those fresh fruits and veggies we eat, we need to thank a farmer. The milk we drink, the yogurts we enjoy, and the ice cream we crave on those hot summer days — thank a farmer. That big fat juicy burger cooking on the grill with bacon on top? Yup, thank a farmer!

That’s only a small percentage of what they do, and if you ask me, they should be the best-paid folks in America! They work the hardest, never a day off, and because of them, we can eat. So this summer, when you are enjoying that plump delicious steak, a gorgeous green salad, a sweet bite of ice cold watermelon, or diggin’ into some strawberry shortcake covered in milk, please bow your head and take a minute to pray for these amazing farmers who work so hard and that they will be blessed in more ways than one! Because Lord knows, they do so much for us! Thank you to all the farmers from great to small; we all eat

because of you. Chicken and Steak Kabobs

Ingredients:

• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in chunks and seasoned with chicken seasoning

• 2 steaks, cut in chunks and marinated

• Red, green, & yellow peppers cut into small squares Kabob sticks (soaked in water)

Steak Marinade:

• 1 cup soy sauce

• 1 cup sweet cooking sherry

• 1 garlic clove chopped fine

• 1 tsp. Ginger

Directions:

Mix soy sauce, cooking sherry, garlic and ginger well in bowl and throw in steak, place in fridge. Let steak marinade at least 4 hours, if you can. The longer the better!

Place the seasoned chicken and marinated steak on kabob sticks and place peppers in between as desired. You could add any veggie you would like if you don’t like peppers! I brushed some BBQ sauce on my chicken kabobs, but you don’t have too. Just have fun with them!

Editor’s tip: Sorry to invade your story, Andrea, but I have a pro-kabob tip. Soak your skewers in water for a while before you place the meat and veggies on them. This will help to keep them from burning while grilling.

Did You Know?

he beverages individuals drink could affect their skin cancer risk. According to World Cancer Research Fund International, drinking coffee could reduce a woman’s risk for malignant melanoma and might decrease both men’s and women’s risk for basal cell carcinoma. Though WCRFI notes the exact biological mechanisms linking coffee consumption to malignant melanoma and basal cell carcinoma

are uncertain, drinking coffee exposes people to various biologically active compounds. According to the WCRFI, some of those compounds have been studied in animal and in vitro studies and been found to boast antioxidant and anti-tumorigenic (anti-tumor) properties. But it’s not all good news regarding beverages and skin cancer risk. The WCRFI also notes that consuming alcohol could increase the risk of malignant melanoma and basal cell carcinoma.

Williamsport Civic Chorus to Present Spring Concert

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

The Williamsport Civic Chorus is one of this area’s oldest and most venerable musical organizations. ey have been around for almost 80 years, and it will continue its ne musical tradition with its latest o ering — its spring concert titled, “Jazzin’ with the WCC,” which features some of the biggest jazz hits of the ’40s and 1950s. It will be held on Sunday, April 30, at 3 p.m. in the Clerestory Room at the Pajama Factory at 1307 Park Avenue in Williamsport.

“ e Chorus is excitedly preparing for our Spring concert, ‘Jazzin’ with the WCC,’” Tina Swisher, a member of the WCC, told Webb Weekly. “We will also be accompanied by the Dave Miller Jazz Trio, featuring Dave Miller on keyboards, Bobby Leidhecker on percussion, and Bruce Bozyk on bass guitar.

Miller is a versatile singer, arranger, and musician with over 40 year of local music instruction and several tours abroad with military bands. Leidhecker co-leads the Williamsport City Jazz Orchestra and is the principal timpanist with the Williamsport

Symphony Orchestra.

Bozyk, a former member of the U.S. Navy Band, plays with several local rock, R&B, and big band ensembles — you can catch him every Thursday night at the Stonehouse Pizza Jazz night!”

Swisher said the Williamsport Civic Chorus is a community chorus built around the idea that regular people like to sing together and find particular joy in bringing great music to the larger community. They have trained musicians among them — but they also have people from every walk of life, including nurses, beauticians, civil servants, teachers, and lots of retirees! The Chorus consists of anywhere from 60 to 75 members at any given time, and they don’t require auditions to join.

Their director is Mike Connor, who teach-

es chorus and band at the high school level and is a highly trained and sought-after tenor soloist. The WCC has sung with the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Uptown Music Collective and the Essence of Joy gospel group. After singing the National Anthem with them for several years now, I guess you can say they have a regular gig with both the Crosscutters and the Little League World Series.

Tickets for the concert are available online at www.williamsportcivicchorus.org at a discount ($8 for students and seniors; $10 general admission, children under 12, as well as patron ticket holders, attend free). Discounted tickets are also available at Otto’s Bookstore and R.M. Sides Family Music in downtown Williamsport. Tickets sold at the door are $10 and $12, respectively.

UPMC Physician: Sports Physicals for Upcoming Season

By Edward Gusick, D.O. Sports Medicine Specialist, UPMC Orthopaedic Care

With the ground beginning to thaw and daisies pushing their way up through sunstarved soil, days are starting to look a little less dreary and a little springier. Parks are starting to fill up and clangs of bats are echoed throughout the neighborhoods. This can only mean one thing: baseball and softball seasons are in full swing. Your son or daughter likely had to complete a sports physical to make sure they were fit for the field. But, as a parent, what do you need to know before your child’s physical?

Preparing for a Sports Physical

During a sports physical, your health care provider will ask about your child’s personal medical history as well as that of your family. It’s important to be prepared and honest with the physician. When talking about family history, a health care provider might ask about:

– Sudden death due to heart disease

– Unexplained premature deaths from anyone before the age of 50

– Disability from heart disease

– Certain genetic conditions like Marfan Syndrome, arrhythmias, etc. When talking about personal medical history, a health care provider might ask about:

– Excessive fatigue during exercise

– Previous diagnoses of a heart murmur or any chest pain with exercise

– Asthma or other breathing problems such as excessive shortness of breath

– Constant headaches or a history of concussions

– History of passing out with exercise

– Odd funny beats of heart (i.e., palpitations)

What’s Included in a Sports Physical

If your child participates in sports, they may get a physical before the school year or prior to the start of their sport’s season. A routine physical examination during a sports physical includes an assessment of vital signs, scoliosis, listening to the heart and lungs, and evaluation of eyes, ears, mouth, and abdomen. Providers also check range of motion, joint laxity, and strength to look for joint and muscle problems.

If a provider sees an issue, they may recommend a specialist. However, if the issue is something such as a history of a low-grade sprain or strain, they may teach strengthening exercises and give the student athlete a brace to prevent further injury. They may also refer them to physical therapy or an athletic trainer if available.

Why is Getting a Sports Physical Important?

Sports physicals help determine whether it’s safe for a child to participate in physical activity. Most schools require a sports physical and some schools offer it to their students. But even if it isn’t required, it is still high-

ly recommended for young athletes to have one completed. It’s important for your child to get a sports physical because they can:

– Identify any life-threatening medical conditions such as certain heart conditions

– Identify conditions that may limit participation such as a recent concussion

– Identify conditions that require a treatment plan, such as uncontrolled blood pressure, eating disorders or certain lung conditions

– Identify and rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries

– Give the opportunity to have any questions regarding specific sports answered to help determine which sports may be appropriate for your child to participate in

– Be an opportunity for the doctor to discuss important issues such as healthy eating habits, avoidance of drugs or alcohol, and the

importance of wearing seat belts and helmets

Getting a physical before the school year begins is recommended. The sports physical should be completed about six weeks prior to the athletic season to allow enough time to follow up on any health issues that may be identified during the physical. Even if the physical doesn’t detect any health problems, you should seek medical attention if new health problems emerge during the sports season.

Edward Gusick, D.O., sports medicine specialist with UPMC Orthopaedic Care, sees patients in Lock Haven, Muncy, and Williamsport. To schedule an appointment, call 570321-2020.

lofty dreams you have been having, Sagittarius. Separate the whimsy from what you actually may be able to transfer to real life.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22–Jan 20

You may be tempted to butt heads with authority figures in the days to come, but you’ll catch more flies with honey, Capricorn. Get your frustrations out another way.

Four Keys to Effective Communication

Anumber of years ago, I was shopping at a local grocery store after work. I wanted to pick up a few items, including ingredients for a butter chicken recipe. The list included naan bread, a very common flatbread often associated with Indian, Western Asian, or Caribbean food. You can find it at pretty much any store. After searching for a while, I figured asking a store employee would just be easier. This is where things get interesting and, if you’re old enough, will remind you of a bad version of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello’s famous “Who’s on first?” bit. The conversation went something like this. “Excuse me, miss. Could you please tell me where I might find naan bread?” The store clerk pauses and looks at me like I have two heads. “Nonbread? I’ve never heard of non-bread.” “No, I’m sorry, naan. N-A-A-N.” She stops another clerk walking by. “Have you ever heard of non-bread?” “Nope.” The second clerk keeps walking. Me: “No, naan bread. Spelled N-A-A-N.” Still looking puzzled, like I’m asking for bread that isn’t actually bread but is non-bread, she yells across the store,

“Hey Larry, do you know if we carry non-bread?” At least twenty people turn to look at the idiot customer that wants to buy a bread that isn’t a real bread. Me: (now speaking a little louder out of frustration)

Dave Bellomo

“No, naan bread spelled N-AA-N.” To be honest, I am long past even wanting the item and, in fact, am thinking about burgers or really anything else. Eventually, one of the store managers showed me mercy. Everyone at checkout is still staring at the idiot that wants to buy fake bread. Manager: “I think I know what that is.” The manager perp walks me to the frozen section of the store and shows me the item I’m looking for. If I hadn’t had been both hungry to get dinner started and so completely frustrated and embarrassed, I would have thought the entire exchange to be ridiculously funny.

The lesson, in this case, is that there are always multiple perspectives when people are interacting, and people might hear what you say without actually listening to you. There are, however, a few things that can be done to better communicate what you need

or want.

1.) Use simple language. Try not to use industry jargon, acronyms, or abbreviations unless you know the other person well. e clerk had no idea what naan bread was, and I probably could have done a better job of describing the item before things escalated.

2.) Speak clearly. If you tend to speak quickly or not enunciate well, slow down.

3.) Use appropriate body language and tone. It helps to present a calm demeanor. As I eventually showed my frustration (I’m not sure I could have contained it), the clerk probably sensed

it, which made her somewhat anxious. Researchers have shown that 55% of communication is body language, 38% is vocal, and only 7% is the actual spoken words. So, pay attention to not only what you say but how you say it. Like I said, I eventually got frustrated, and it was written all over my face. I’m a terrible poker player.

4.) Be polite. As the adage goes, “You attract more ies with honey than with vinegar.” Treat others as you would want to be treated, and you are much more likely to get your point across. Conversely, if you are abrasive, they will likely stop listening to whatever it is you are trying to say.

“Presence: The Strange Science and True Stories of the Unseen Other” by Ben Alderson-Day, Ph. D.

c.2023, St. Martin’s Press

$28.99

304 pages

Knock-knock.

“Who’s there?” is a common answer, if you’re playing with a 7-year-old but if the knock is for real, you’ll want to peek through a peephole or window to see who’s waiting to

come in. So what if there’s no one — and nothing — there? Don’t answer it until you’ve read “Presence” by Ben AldersonDay, Ph.D.

When it’s said that someone has been “hearing voices,” the common assumption is that they suffer from a kind of mental illness; in fact, about 75 percent of sufferers or schizophrenia say they experience auditory hallucinations. Conventional wisdom says that healthy people don’t “hear voices” or see things that don’t exist, but Alderson-Day says that anecdotal evidence points to the contrary.

It’s relatively common, he says, to sense a presence in the room when you’re sure you’re alone, which is a kind of hallucination that’s “been... documented since the beginnings of psychiatry.” Sometimes, though, those hallucinations are “beyond the sense somehow...” in a way that is real but can’t quite be explained.

Ernest Shackleton and his men heard voices during their ordeal in the South Pole in 1914, and other cold-weather endurance explorers have reported the same. Those incidences could be examples of hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen to the brain, but not always. Significantly, they echo many of the tales Alderson-Day’s seen in his research, which “seemed to be about saving and surviving” imminent disaster

or a slow catastrophe. Such voices or phantom sightings could be pareidolia, or seeing things that aren’t present. They could be “spontaneous activation” of the brain, which has to do with the neuron network. Seeing or hearing what’s not there could be a sign of brain damage or an abnormal stimulation of the brain’s

electrical current. Some people with dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies claim to see people just on the periphery of sight. Hallucinations can happen in cases of extreme duress or exertion. Stress cannot be discounted.

And then there are the other maybes. Alderson-Day refuses to dismiss the possibility that some phantom voices and sightings really might be phantoms.

Do you believe in ghosts? You don’t have to, if you read “Presence.” You only need an open mind and a desire to understand science; a belief in spirits is just icing on the cake.

Here, author Ben Alderson-Day, Ph.D.asks readers to be on solid ground with a willingness to suspend disbelief

once in awhile, beginning with a kneejerk reaction and an armchair diagnosis of mental illness. On that, readers are quickly pulled away from the stereotype with reassurance and facts. Remember: this is a science book first and science says aural and visual phantoms are surprisingly common.

Still, there are things that can’t be explained and that’s when this book takes a quick two-step into the supernatural — not in a spooky way, but wide-eyed: we don’t know what we don’t know, so it could have an otherworldly reason. Says Alderson-Day, it obviously needs further study in mind-body medicine. Until then, keep looking, read “Presence,” and wonder... Who’s There?

Common Allergy Triggers

The human body is a welloiled machine that is a wonder of biological efficiency when working properly. The body’s immune system is integral to keeping a person healthy, and it does that by recognizing foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria, and then launching an attack to eradicate them. Sometimes, however, the body treats outside substances as harmful when they’re really just nuisances. This is the case

with allergens.

Allergens, according to eMedicine Health, trigger an immune system response to various substances the body deems harmful. In turn, the body overreacts to these substances, triggering allergic reactions. Allergic reactions may occur in one person and not another. The immune system produces antibodies, which can cause certain effects, including inflammation of the skin, sinuses, digestive system, or airways,

depending on the allergen, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Many things can trigger allergies, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 50 million people in the United States have allergies. Here’s a look at some of the more common allergies that tend to rear their heads when weather warms up.

Pollen

The air is filled with pollen come the spring and summer. Freshly blooming grasses, trees, flowers, and

even weeds produce an abundance of pollen this time of year. It may coat vehicles outside and make its way indoors when people throw open windows to enjoy warm breezes.

Pollen allergies are quite common and cause runny, stuffy nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, watery eyes, and itchiness of the skin or roof of the mouth in some instances. Decongestants tend to be recommended when pollen count is high. It’s also best to leave windows closed during these times.

Mold

Mold are very small fungi with spores that float in the breeze like pollen. Mold thrives in damp areas. Mold

may grow unchecked after spring rains or in piles of damp leaves. It also can be found in musty basements or bathrooms. Using a dehumidifier indoors can help alleviate mold, but outdoors it may be a little more challenging to control. When doing yard work in damp areas, wear a mask to avoid breathing in spores. Dust mites

Chances are the arrival of spring may trigger the desire to do a little

cleaning. In turn, it’s highly likely that dust will be disturbed, and along with it, dust mites. WebMD says dust mites are microscopic and people may not even know they are around. Keeping a home free of dusty items can reduce dust mite numbers. Also, cover mattresses, pillows and wash sheets weekly in hot water to help alleviate dust mite infiltration.

Insect stings

We tend to think of allergens in terms of small substances that are inhaled, but insects that are abundant in the

warm weather can be troublesome, too. An insect sting or bite can cause hives, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, or even anaphylaxis. While there’s no definitive way to avoid all insects, people can opt against brightly colored clothes and scented lotions or cosmetics. Insect repellents and skipping sweet foods or beverages at outdoor meals also may help.

Allergens are common this time of year, and people can take caution to feel better if they suffer allergies.

Uptown Music Collective Brings Tribute to the Music of Queen to CAC

On Friday April 28th, and Saturday April 29th the Uptown Music Collective & UPMC North Central Pa will present “The Show Must Go On: The Music of Queen” at the Community Arts Center in Downtown Williamsport. There are very few bands in rock and roll history whose music is as unique, exciting, entertaining, and unforgettable as the music of Queen. In the last performance of the Uptown Music Collective’s performance season, the students will take on these rock legends and perform this immortal music, complete with an awesome light show, and with all the skill, passion, and excitement that people have come to expect from the school’s students.

This performance is additionally sponsored, in part, through partnerships with Geisinger’s Janet Weis Children’s Hospital and Hudock Capital Group.

Queen was formed in London in 1970 by vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian

May, drummer Rodger Taylor, and bassist John Deacon. Over their long career, the band released 15 studio albums, had 53 top 40 singles — six of which went to #1 — and it was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Their music was an eclectic mix of driving hard rock, pop hooks, operatic vocal harmonies, classical chord progressions, layered harmonized guitars, theatrical elements, and pure unadulterated swagger.

In 1991, lead vocalist and songwriter Freddie Mercury died of complications from AIDs. He continued to work and record music with the band right up until the end. The song “The Show Must Go On” is one of his last completed vocal recordings.

In the years that followed, the remaining members of the group continued to perform, with friends of the band filling in for Freddie and for John Deacon, who retired in 1997.

mance, the students of Special Performance Group 1 will present two hours of Queen’s greatest hits, such as “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “You’re My Best Friend,” “Fat Bottomed Girls,” “Stone Cold Crazy,” “Killer Queen,” “Somebody to Love,” and many more. Performers will focus on presenting each as close to the original recording, while delivering them with the same swagger and intensity Queen was known for live.

“Our last Queen performance, 10 years ago in 2012, defined a generation of Uptown Music Collective students, including Tess Marshall, Dylan Rockoff, Gabe Stillman, Nuria Hunter, Shannon Cantor, Garret

Gaetano, and many more,” said Dave Brumbaugh, UMC founder and executive director. “The guitar, drum, bass, and keyboard music are very challenging, and the vocals demand an extraordinary amount of precision in every way. Students can’t go through the process of preparing to perform such powerful and eclectic music of this level and remain unchanged by it. Everyone should do themselves a favor — don’t miss this show!”

“The Show Must Go On” will feature Collective students who have been diligently preparing for this event for more than three months. Along with the music, there will be a professional-grade light, sound, and video

show, organized by the students themselves, who will work alongside the professionals at the CAC.

As with all Uptown Music Collective performances, the students are not only the performers but also the directors of the show. A group of younger students, or “Tech Monkeys,” will serve as stage technicians and spotlight operators. The cast for the show is drawn from the Uptown Music Collective’s much-heralded “Special Performance Group 1.”

This show is directed by Uptown Music Collective senior students Abby Colone and Luke O’Brien (both Loyalsock Township High School). The show’s leadership committee consists of UMC students Leah Batman (Laurel Springs School), Matthew

Bellino (Danville Area High School), Izzy Butters (Loyalsock Township High School), Chase Cowden (Loyalsock Township High School), Connor Evans (Williamsport Area High School), Ben Feuerstein (Lewisburg Area High School), Gabreon Godin (Williamsport Area High School), Grace Godin (Williamsport Area Middle School), Brendan Kuriga (South Williamsport Area High School), Duncan Larson (Loyalsock Township High School), Jossian Lilley (Loyalsock Township High School), Cassidy Lutz (Loyalsock Township High School), Calistra Mahoney (Pennsylvania College of Technology), and Stephanie Nappi (PA Cyber).

“One of the very first songs that I fell in love with as a musician was ‘Don’t Stop Me Now,’ by Queen,” O’Brien said. “Now I am

able to close out my senior year at the Collective while playing that song in a show that I have the privilege to co-direct. The music in this show is fun, moving, and often deeply emotional — and I am very excited to share it with my community.”

Additional partners and sponsors for this performance include Chartwell Hotels, KFC of Williamsport, Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships, The Kiessling Group of Janney Montgomery Scott, UPMC Health Plan, Lycoming College, Woodlands Bank, Williamsport Sun-Gazette, FASTSIGNS of Williamsport, Pennsylvania College of Technology, The Brickyard Restaurant and Ale House, The Stonehouse Wood Fired Pizza and Pasteria, The Hartman Group, and Beiter’s Furniture, Mattress and Ap-

pliance. Media sponsors include Backyard Broadcasting, Lamar Advertising, 92.1 WSQV, NorthCentralPa.com, The Graphic Hive and Engage Media.

Tickets for the performance, which are $20 in advance and $25 at the door (plus fees), are available through the Community Arts Center box office, 220 West Fourth St.; website, www.caclive.com; and phone, 570-3262424. Live stream tickets for Saturday night are also available.

Six Ways to Reduce Your Melanoma Risk

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers around the world.

No one is immune to skin cancer, although those with lighter skin colors are at higher risk.

Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic. Melanoma develops in the cells that produce melanin. While the exact causes of melanoma aren’t entirely clear, exposure to ultraviolet radiation greatly increases risk of the disease.

Melanoma can develop anywhere on the body, but it is most commonly found on areas that have had significant exposure

to the sun, such as the back, legs, arms, and face. It also can form in the eyes. The American Skin Cancer Society says that there is no definitive way to prevent melanoma, but the following are six ways individuals can lower their risk.

1. Limit UV exposure. The most important step to take is to protect yourself from UV rays, which includes both natural sunlight and light from tanning beds. Staying in the shade or indoors during peak hours of sunlight can limit UV exposure.

2. Use sunscreen every day. Choose a formula that will screen out both UVA and

UVB rays. Apply about two tablespoons of the product at each application. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, even more regularly if you will be swimming or sweating a lot.

3. Avoid sunlamps and tanning beds. Tanning beds and sunlamps are not safer forms of UV exposure. They provide more exposure to UV radiation over a shorter period of time, potentially making them quite dangerous.

4. Schedule routine skin exams. Visit a dermatologist to get a full-body skin exam. A qualified doctor can identify moles or other skin abnormalities that may prove problematic. Always let a doctor know if moles change size or shape. Normal moles are generally a uniform color and shape.

Unusual moles are asymmetrical in shape with color changes and irregular border.

5. Wear large or wrap-around sunglasses. These types of sunglasses will protect the eyes and the sensitive skin around the eyes.

6. Learn your family history. Healthgrades says some types of melanoma cancer genes are passed from one generation to another. Find out if you can get gene testing if you have several family members with melanoma or a family member who had melanoma more than once.

Melanoma is a potentially lifethreatening form of skin cancer, though there are various ways to reduce your risk for the disease.

The Roving Sportsman… Spring Gobbler Opening Day is Upon Us! TrueGrade Excavating

By Jon Pries

There are just a couple more nights of restless sleep to endure, then, almost magically, at 5:38 a.m. on Saturday, April 29, legal shooting hours begin on what is the first day of this year’s spring gobbler season. With little time remaining before that long-awaited moment, there are a couple of steps yet to take in preparation for opening day.

First, if you have not already done so, pattern your shotgun. It is amazing how often this critical step is overlooked, and it can be the one reason that will ensure failure in making a clean kill on a turkey you may have worked very hard to call in range. Whether on a paper target with a turkey silhouette or on a flat patterning board, it only takes one or two shots to verify that your shotgun is shooting exactly where you want it to. If it is slightly off, there is no time to have a gunsmith work on it, but you will know to merely adjust your hold point to compensate.

Secondly, have you located your exact setup spot for your predawn entry in the woods? Hopefully, while you have been scouting to locate a gobbler or two, you also determined exactly where you plan to sit once you have arrived on opening morning. If you have not, there is still time to locate a spot, but it would be best to do so in mid-afternoon when any turkeys in the area have long since left their roosting locations and are out

feeding. When the eastern sky is beginning to become light on opening morning is not the time to be walking around aimlessly looking for a spot to hunt from!

During the opening day and throughout the early season, the turkeys in the area you plan to hunt should be relatively undisturbed.

They will generally accept some tactics that, later in the season, they will have been educated to and, thus, will be less likely to respond to. I refer to decoys, calling, and positioning.

Many of the turkeys you will encounter may never have seen a decoy before (in the previous spring or fall season); thus, it may be the best time to try using a decoy setup to help lure in a bird. In a woods setting, where you may not want to carry multiple decoys, a single hen decoy placed along a logging road or an opening in the woods will help draw the interest of a gobbler. If setting up in a field edge or other large openings, it would be advisable to use multiple decoys. Two hen decoys and a jake decoy make an ideal setup to bring in a mature gobbler who is looking to defend his territory and his hens.

When it comes to calling, simply don’t overcall.

Too often, we “learn” our techniques by watching videos or TV shows, where aggressive and continual calling seems to be the norm. What they don’t depict on these shows and in the videos are the long periods of silence that occur in real life as

they patiently wait for a response from a nearby bird. A period of 20 to 30 minutes between calls will be much more realistic in the woods, and then a single cluck or two or a short series of yelps will sound much more like a live hen. Continual and aggressive calling will often serve to educate nearby turkeys that there is a hunter in the area! Choosing an exact position from which to hunt, hopefully well before the season opens, can be a key factor in a successful hunt. Select a large tree near a roost area or in the area where the turkeys travel or feed, and make sure there are clear areas through which to shoot and that there is no brush to obstruct your view and a clear shot. The ideal tree will be at least shoulder-width in size. Ideally, there will be multiple sites in the area where you will be hunting that you

can use as your setup location. It is easy for the turkeys to pattern you when they hear calling coming from the same exact location day after day.

Remember to carry more calls than you think you need.

You should have a box call or two, and one or two slate calls, and several mouth calls as well. You can never know ahead of time just which call will work best on a given day. By having multiple calls that offer a variety of tones and pitches, you will have a much better chance of interesting a passing gobbler.

Be patient — patience is one of the greatest keys to success in turkey hunting. Good luck, and remember, it is critical to positively identify your target and the surroundings before you squeeze the trigger!

I’m sure most people are familiar with the ruffed grouse, especially since it’s been our state bird since 1931.

These days, spotting grouse seems less likely since grouse numbers have declined due to loss of habitat and a disease known as West Nile Virus. Those of us who have hunted grouse over the years are very aware of its thunderous flush when encountered on a hunt or when you unknowingly walk by one when walking through the woods. Our encounters with grouse are almost always sudden and surprising in nature, and any different behavior is quick to come to our attention, and that’s why I’m writing this piece now.

Over the past couple of years, I have had several grouse encounters that are entirely opposite of what’s normally expected.

I was driving up a dirt road that winds through the woods not far from my home a couple of years ago. As I rounded a turn, I noticed a grouse in the middle of the road, so I pulled over to allow it

Ken Hunter

to get across the road. When it refused to move, I got out of my truck and walked towards the grouse, expecting it to frantically take off. Not only did the grouse not flee but instead, it walked cautiously toward me. Over the next fifteen minutes, the grouse stayed right near me and came right up to my outreached hand several times. When I left, it was still standing near the middle of the road.

Last year I walked over to get my mail, and on the way back through my front yard, I spotted a grouse walking in my direction — highly unusual, I thought. What’s even more surprising is I was able to walk up to within a couple of feet of the bird and follow it through the yard and across the road. Once on the other side of the road, I actually reached down and picked up the grouse, at which point it took off in what appeared to be perfectly normal flight.

Update. Last week I was again walking through my front yard when I noticed a

grouse sitting a couple of feet in front of my rhododendron bush. I slowly walked by the grouse and went into the house, and got my wife. You see my wife Sheila in the photo that accompanies this article as she walked up to within inches of the grouse before it flew a short distance across the road and then disappeared into the brush. What’s interesting is this encounter was at the same location as my encounter the previous year. Was this the same grouse only a year later?

Well, I seriously doubt that these grouse are actually “tame,” but they definitely exhibit less fear of humans, and I’ve read that they may even act aggressively. Apparently, this behavior has caught the attention of the Pennsylvania State Game

Commission, and they are conducting a genetics study in conjunction with Pennsylvania State University. The research is geared toward gaining a better understanding of grouse genetic variations across the state and whether the “tame” behavior is actually linked to genetics.

In the meantime, keep your eyes open for your own encounter. If you do spot such grouse behavior, you are asked to report the sighting to the game commission at grousecomments@pa.gov. Include your name, phone number, date of sighting, location, and a brief description of the encounter. It is hoped that this information will provide further insight into this unusual behavior.

Softball is Shining

As the high school softball game wouldn’t be starting for another hour, very few fans had gathered at the field. As the teams were beginning their pregame routine, a woman greeted me with a warm smile while stating, “Isn’t this wonderful!”

Thinking she was referring to the beautiful day that had unfolded, I returned the greeting stating something about how good the weatherman had been to us the past few days.

“I’m not talking about the weather. I’m talking about how great it is to see these girls playing softball. I’m amazed at how well they play and how athletic they are.”

“I’m old,” she admitted, “but when I was in high school, they didn’t have all these sports for girls. They had cheerleading and intramural sports but nothing like this.”

That brief conversation has lingered in my mind, especially as it relates to the brand of high school softball being played in our area.

Good softball play is not a recent phenomenon in our locale. Lycoming County and the surrounding area have been blessed with a plethora of outstanding teams throughout the years, with Loyal-

sock, South Williamsport, Williamsport, and last year Montgomery bringing home state championship hardware for their trophy cases.

Due to print deadlines, this is being penned before last weekend’s annual Williamsport-hosted Elm Park Tournament. The annual event for the softballers is the equivalent to Bowman Field’s Backyard Brawl, only bigger. The eightteam tournament field includes Loyalsock, Montoursville, South Williamsport, the host Millionaires, and four other quality teams including last year’s champion Bellefonte. The local squads were not scheduled against each other in Friday’s opening round, but Saturday’s local grudge matches heated up the competition.

Judging the local teams by their won/ lost records is not a true indication of how they stack up, as the schools are of different PIAA classifications and play different regular season schedules. Hughesville, Jersey Shore, Loyalsock, Montoursville, and Williamsport are all members of the Heartland Conference. Montgomery, Muncy, and St. John Neumann are members of the Mid-Penn conference, while South Williamsport

“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 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 done. I thought that was great...but when I got the remake...I really couldnʼt believe how well I could hear...even better 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!”

plays an independent schedule.

During the 2022 season, the nine-county schools compiled a combined 62% winning record, highlighted by Montgomery’s PIAA Class A state title. South Williamsport was crowned the District IV AA champ via a hard-fought 3-2 win over Muncy, and Jersey Shore reached the AAAA championship game.

As this year’s season enters the May stretch run, all have continued their winning traditions, with Hughesville and St. John Neumann showing marked improvement over last year.

While some outstanding seniors are completing their high school careers, the future of high school softball looks to be in good hands. The rosters of Lycoming

County schools show 32 seniors and 50 freshmen playing the game. Williamsport has the most seniors (7) but also has seven freshmen. Hughesville, Montoursville, and Muncy have four seniors, while Loyalsock, Montgomery, St. John Neumann, and South Williamsport all have three. Grace Lorson is the only senior suiting up for Jersey Shore’s Bulldogs.

While Jersey Shore seems poised for continued success, the underclassmen theme has been a key ingredient to the successes at Hughesville, Neumann, and Montoursville. Loyalsock features six new starters from last season, Montgomery eight, and South Williamsport’s starting lineup includes six sophomores and two freshmen joining four-sport se-

nior Aleigha Rieppel.

With the District IV playoffs looming a month away, high school softball will be reaching a fever pitch as teams seek to qualify for state tournament glory. Per the PIAA bracketing determination, local schools will be competing for District IV titles at the A, AA, AAA, & AAAA levels. In 5A & 6A, District IV is combined with District II for tournament play.

Schools are assigned to the various levels based upon the number of female students in grades 9-10-11. The cutoff for each level includes Class A – 107, AA –150, AAA – 220, AAAA – 321, AAAAA – 487 & AAAAAA – 488 and above.

In Pennsylvania, there are 104 teams

at the A level, (107) 2A, (105) 3A, (108) 4A, (106) 5A, & (104) 6A. At the District IV level, there are nine teams in A, 12 in AA, 13 in AAA, and seven in AAAA. Based upon the accumulative numbers, the number of teams at the District level qualifying for the state tournament varies.

District IV will send one Class A team into state tournament play, (2) AA, (2) AAA, and (1) AAAA. At the 5 & 6A combined District 2 & 4 levels, one team will advance in each.

As the weather warms, take the opportunity to get out and see your favorite high school team in action. And as Terrel Owens once said, “Get your popcorn ready!”

Imentioned before that my father and I are building an addition. I am still doing my best to chronicle the entire experience. This might be episode seven. Oh my, folks. There is never a dull moment. My weekly updates online continue to turn heads. Our lack of progress and foolish mistakes are still trending on Instagram. We are making progress, but everyone is questioning, “Why didn’t they just hire someone?” Yes. The entire neighborhood is watching.

We had some delays with our permits. It also didn’t help that my mates never return my calls. My father was hoping to start sooner than later. But unfortunately, we had to push everything to late September. Pops now lives in California. And he has been with us off and on since the beginning. He has built a few homes in his day. Rough carpentry. But that was thirty years ago when he was much, much younger. He means well, but Jim needs to sharpen his pencil. I am thankful for his efforts, yet he continues to struggle. The Spencer gals have completely lost their patience. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Give us a break.

In the previous installments, I shared

a few tales of our major mishaps. Oh, it has been quite the adventure. Who frames a wall with an upside-down door? That pushed us back even further. The folks on YouTube make it look so easy. Everyone is an expert. You should’ve put that one-unit bathtub in first. Gee, thanks. I will surely remember that next time. Not. You can’t make it up, kids. I make several trips to Lowes each week. The customer service desk and I are on a first-name basis. This will be a three-year project. I now park my car in the PRO lot. I get several strange looks. Many contractors laugh when I use the canoe rack on my Renegade to transport 2x4s and sheets of drywall. Things get a little dicey on PA 87. Those damn pheasants chuckle too. I often run into some familiar faces. They offer free advice but poke fun. I don’t take it personally. I get even when they call for Template. Jensen and I also send disgruntled and naughty photos. This bird is for you.

DAY 201. SHINGLES

Jensen and I did the best we could. But remember we only have a few hours to work. When Jim is in California, he sends us plenty of notes. We cross off one job on his punch list, but

then he sends eight more. Big Spence flew in for a few days to help finish the roof. We still had to waterproof the chimney and shingle the east. Grandpa sent us to Bloomsburg to grab some supplies. Lowes was out of stock.

Home Depot was full. We loaded up the Jeep with matching shingles and nails. Good thing we saved our receipts. We didn’t end up using the overpriced Styrofoam thing.

Spence reached out to a few of his chums for help. Only one showed — poor guy. No one wants to work with Jim. Maybe it’s because we make fun of him. But Dean Dan Miller answered the call. Dan and his wife Barb are good family friends. Doc is wicked smart. He also has skills. Dan was a big help; he somehow understands my father’s new code. Point. Mumble. Question. Mumble. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? Mumble. Dan and I worked well together — great conversation in between shingles. Jensen was our grunt, and he got a great workout. The roof is done, kids. Finally. Jim celebrated by going back to California.

Thank God. Joking.

DAY 232. WAYNE SAVES EASTER

Spence and I finally came to our senses. We decided to hire someone to drywall and mud the upstairs addition. We ran the electric and insulated. Reached out to our new best friend, who was vacationing in Florida. My man Wayne Rockey is somewhat retired. But he checked with corporate and agreed to do us a solid. What a character. Lycoming County is a rather small place, and Wayne and I hit it off immediately. How do you know them? We have 204 mutual buds.

Wayne and his guys were fantastic. What they did in three days would’ve taken us 15 weekends. I am so glad that we pulled the trigger. Hanging rock is one thing, but mudding is another. The Spencers do have some experience. But we are strictly amateurs. Wayne’s work is unrivaled. But he said no to the Webb Weekly discount. Thanks, Rock.

I am starting to get the hang of this building thing. No. I will not give up my day job and all my part-time gigs. Having my father aro und sure is grand. We all appreciate his efforts. Big Jim is our hero. Yes. I sometimes complain. He plans to drive cross country again in May. I’m sure I will fill you in when we tackle the flooring and paint. Cheers.
