Hopefully, as you’re reading this, the smoke has cleared, some rain has fallen, and summer weather has returned to the West Branch Valley. As I write this, we have gone 36 days without measurable rainfall. We’ve all seen things we could have never imagined in recent years. As the smoke blew into our country from the Canadian wildfires forcing the cancellation of schools, flights, ball games, and pretty much all outdoor activities in many Mid-Atlantic areas, it added another one to the list. I’m sure my thoughts on this coincide with most of you as you’re reading this. I’m going to save those thoughts for another day, as the situation is truly raging out of control at press time.
I would, however, be remiss if I didn’t mention some key facts regarding the Canadian wildfires. There are currently over 400 wildfires burning north of the border; over 200 are considered burning out of control. The land consumed by these apocalyptic infernos has reached over 9.5 million acres, forcing nearly 30,000 Canadian citizens to be evacuated. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Canadian people.
Before I move on to that Father’s
Day game of catch, a round of golf, or outdoor celebration — which I hope isn’t postponed by smoke, I’ll leave this topic with a couple of thoughts for your discussion. How on God’s green Earth can man extinguish a fire that has reached this magnitude? And sadly, how many Americans would really care if the weather pattern dumping the campfire atmosphere into our Nation was different?
The greatest gift a child can give his father is that heart-filled hug and an “I love you, Dad.” I have been on both sides of this special moment. As life passes by and your son or daughter gets older, a thank you for everything you do and a little time shared playing catch, enjoying that round of golf, or watching that ball game together means so much to both father and son. Again, this comes from personal experience, and you can plug in any event shared together for what I have mentioned.
If, for whatever reason, you can’t see your dad on Father’s Day, reach out to him, and make sure he hears your voice, hopefully, accompanied by the words I’ve already mentioned. Please do not allow any disagreement you may be having with your father to prevent you
from that wishing of a Happy Father’s Day. We all only have so much time to remember the things that are most important and share your love. This may just open the door to mending your relationship.
A sincere and heartfelt Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. On Father’s Day, we pay tribute to all that have taken on the responsibilities of fatherhood. Our world needs more men stepping up to fill this role and helping to develop young gentlemen and ladies. The problems our children face today are much more difficult, and having that fatherly figure by your side has never been more important.
So again, Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, and those that fill the role of a father figure. Thank you for your time, patience, and commitment to our future generations. Thank you for the understanding that a father doesn’t need to be perfect; he just needs to be present in the name of good.
My staff and I would like to help you celebrate that fatherly figure in your life with some great Father’s Day giveaways. The only thing we ask is if you give me a call, it is to take Dad out and say thank you.
So, I will make this as simple as possible
because I have been known to get a little long-winded. Simply be one of the first four to call me after reading this and get your choice between four great seats to Historic Bowman Field and a Williamsport Crosscutters game. The night at the ballpark includes a hot dog and cold drink for all. I’m sure I can even get Rhashan, the Director of Smiles, to say hello.
If you would sooner just take Dad out for dinner and skip the ball game, you may choose a $50 gift card to the Mulberry Street Cafe. They will be open on Father’s Day; details can be found on page 25. I’m sure Dad will find something on their great menu to make him smile, as well as that cold beverage. When you reach out to me at 570337-0755, please identify yourself as a Father’s Day Giveaway contestant and remember you’re on the honor system. This is for Dad or the fatherly figure in your life. Good luck to all; I look forward to your call.
Additional leather pieces also available.
A quick reminder to close things out this week, don’t forget to get registered for our Great American Grilling Giveaway. Please don’t be the person locally that carelessly starts a forest fire. There are many burning bans currently in place. Most important is common sense during this dry season.
In the words of Smokey Bear, only you can prevent forest fires. God Bless America.
You change the fabric, we won’t change the price! All recliners are available rocking or non-rocking
You change the fabric, we won't change the price! All recliners are available rocking or non-rocking.
Your Dad deserves the best so this Father’s Day, give Dad the gift of comfort.

The annual Juneteenth Celebration will be held this Saturday, June 17, from noon to 4 p.m. at Brandon Park. What exactly is this holiday and event that celebrates African American history and heritage?
This holiday commemorates the emancipation of enslaved blacks in the United States. This holiday was first celebrated in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger arrived to give the news of the Emancipation Proclamation, which had been signed in 1863, as well as news of the end of the Civil War, two months earlier. Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves and continued slavery in such states as Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri. All slaves were not truly free until the ratification of the 13th Amendment, some six months later.
The name “Juneteenth” refers to the date of the holiday, combining the words the date “June” and the date of the first celebration. The holiday was first celebrated in Austin, Texas, in 1867 under the auspices of the Freedman’s Bureau, and it
had been listed on a calendar of events in 1872. That year black leaders in Texas raised $1,000 for the purchase of 10 acres of land, today known as Houston’s Emancipation Park, to celebrate Juneteenth.
Juneteenth continues to be celebrated across the U.S. — black Americans come together in the spirit of unity, and they pay homage to their ancestors and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that they can live free and enjoy the pursuit of happiness and liberty.
Here in Williamsport, according to Lisa Williams, President of the local chapter of the NAACP, the event has been celebrated off and on for the past 20 years or so. The local celebrations began under the leadership of Constance Robinson, who was the recipient of the Lycoming Tri-County Legendary Award in 2022. The local NAACP chapter began hosting Juneteenth in 2021 with generous donations from their sponsors, and Williams believed they were able to host a successful event; it was also the year the federal government recognized Juneteenth as a national holiday.
“For Juneteenth 2023, our theme is
‘Strengthening Our Roots to Empower Future Generations.’ The Tri-County NAACP is working in collaboration with the STEP Justice Task Force,” Williams told Webb Weekly. She continued, “There will be a March from Freedom Road to Brandon Park beginning at 11 a.m. that will fold into the activities in the Park beginning at noon.”
She said there will be various vendors participating in the event. Each organization participating in the Juneteenth event will have a fun activity for children. There will also be live entertainment from Loni Gamble and the Ultimates and others such as Tomaka Carter, Felicia Suggs, Jordan Golding, and Jeneen Hammond.
“In essence, Juneteenth is a celebration of love, honoring those who came before us and those yet to be born. It is a tradition that has been celebrated for over 150 years. It’s about pride in who we are and how far we have come and honoring our ancestors so that our children can stand tall in their truth and understand they come from greatness. Black Americans have made many strides and contributed so much to the United States. However, we are still striving to achieve the ultimate goal — not to be judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our character,” stated Williams.
Much like my Mother’s Day list, my Father’s Day list changes and flow and gets a few edits along the way, but I think it’s a pretty good list. So much like Dads usually appreciate, let’s not get fussy and get on with it…

The Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on June 1st began as usual, with Commissioner Scott Metzger beginning the meeting with a prayer and then the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. As everyone was taking their seat, Metzger stated, “We’ll convene the commissioners meeting at this time, and we welcome back Larry Stout from the state of Alaska; I hope you had a good time.”
It was obviously a spontaneous gesture on Metzger’s part. I was first a bit embarrassed, but at the same time, I was deeply touched by the gesture. To dedicate hours and hours to filter down information that would be helpful and informative to the general public concerning county government is more frustrating than fun. That simple sentence of acknowledgment in a public meeting was tremendously uplifting.
Hardly two meetings in a row go by without at least one county personnel being recognized for a ten/twenty/thirty-year service award. The June 1st meeting was no exception. Every seat in the room was taken as colleagues of Natalie Steppe from the Veterans Affairs Department and Sherrie Hook from the Planning Depart-
ment; each received a ten-year award recognition. It took fifteen minutes for each of these ladies to be recognized by their department director with a short explanation of their work, followed by a picture of them holding their awards with their bosses and the county commissioners.
The commissioners had a long list of agenda items that they had to go through; reports, personnel actions, board of assessment revisions, and thirteen action items. Yet before any of that, they wanted to first acknowledge and honor those who had reached a certain point in their career working for the county.
I know there are some that see this as a waste of valuable time, seeing it as a token gesture. Yes, it might seem so to the per-

Director Michael R. Lingg
I want a traditional burial and my spouse wants cremation. Can we still be buried together?
Just because you have chosen two different burial options does not mean you are not able to be buried together. Our funeral directors will offer guidance to see that your wishes are fulfilled while meeting cemetery and memorial park requirements.
We will be happy to meet with you and discuss your companion burial options. Some say “Happily Married”, but we will be able to say “Happily Married and Happily Buried”.

son NOT being recognized, but science has shown there is a positive benefit from recognition. There are a hundred people who will have no hesitation in telling you that you are doing something wrong, for every one person who will take the time to give a pat on the back and say, “Nice job.”
It even starts in school. The student who does everything the teacher asks and never rocks the boat is one that is taken for granted. They do not get the teacher’s attention. But the little hooligan who struggles with learning discovers quickly that acting up gets attention from the teacher. Misbehaving has its benefits.
My oldest son discovered this in fourth grade. He was a straight-A student but enjoyed getting in trouble more. In fact, whenever the teacher would ask who had done the mischief, he would raise his hand even if he did not do it. When I had a talk with the school principal about this, I sat down with my son and asked him why he did it. He said simply, “I don’t know, Dad, I just like getting the teacher’s attention.”
Grownups generally prefer positive recognition, but it is a lot harder to come by.
When teaching Industrial/Organizational Psychology, I discovered that many managers are pathetically poor in the area of appreciation for good work. I got a contract with a Fortune 100 company that shall not be named, which had a problem with keeping mid-management staff
at their main headquarters. They wanted a training program, but I asked them to start by sitting in their break room for two days to engage these managers about their work. I would strike up a conversation and then ask two questions. The first was asking when the last time was that they had been recognized for doing good work. The managers noted events when their team or section was recognized, but in two days of meeting with dozens and dozens of men and women managers, I did not find a single one that was individually commended for their work by their bosses. I also asked when the last time was that they were told they were doing something wrong, and they looked at their watches and would say, “Well, let’s see, that that was about.”
So, hats off to the Lycoming County Commissioners who recognized their own staff who do the daily stuff that is often mundane yet is vitally necessary for these departments to function and meet the needs of the county. And also, when they give extra recognition from time to time to those that do not work for the county but also go above and beyond what is expected to help their community. And an extra ‘attaboy’ to Commissioner Metzger for giving a one-sentence acknowledgment to a hard-working, minimum-compensation septuagenarian feature writer for a county-wide circulation weekly newspaper. It is greatly appreciated.
When we married, I told my husband I would never tell him what to wear unless he asked. And I’ve kept that promise for twenty years, and for twenty years, I’ve turned a blind eye to the many fashion crimes he’s committed. I can no longer ignore such atrocities, so for this Father’s Day, whether he likes it or not, he’s getting a closet clean out and a few upgrades to his wardrobe.
My husband works from home all but a few days a month. Needless to say, his “work wear” is mostly t-shirts and cargos shorts worn around the house. He does manage to pull it together for office visits with khakis, button-downs, and polos. For his closet clean-out, I’m focusing on casual wear and his athleisure pieces.
Like with any closet purge, the first things to go are garments with stains and rips beyond repair. For my husband, this amounts to a dozen or so graphic black t-shirts with sweat marks. The majority of these tees were free or promotional giveaways; not much sen-
Ulsamer
timental value was lost. They served a function, and now that service is at long last over. Also included in this group are old and stained undershirts. To replace these shirts, I’m looking for quality basics. For plain black tees, I like For Days’ Brushed Scoop T in jet black. This 100% cotton jersey shirt is durable, breathable, and soft to the touch. The scooped hemline allows it to be worn untucked without it looking unkempt. Their Crew Neck tee in white is also a viable option for undershirts, made from 95% organic cotton and 5% spandex to be more fitted under dress shirts and polos.
Next up, letting go of pieces that no longer fit. My husband has some extremely baggy-saggy jeans and oversized sweaters. Most men wear their clothing too loose. It could be a comfort thing or a confidence thing, but a proper-fitting pair of jeans can only make you feel more comfortable and self-assured. I’m well aware that my husband is a middle-aged dad, so I’m not looking to push the denim envelope with
See OUTFITS on Page 14
some flashy modern brand. Instead, I’m looking to Wrangler, specifically their Five Star Premium Performance Series regular-fit jean. They have a straight, slightly loose leg and, more importantly, a comfort flex waistband for all-day wear.
Now, let’s talk about cargo shorts. In general, I’m not a fan; however, recently, my husband bought, on his own accord, some olive-green cargos from Amazon that I don’t hate. He recognized his everyday beige pair was frayed, worn out, and needed to be retired. Good on him! However, I would love him to consider a non-cargo short. At Toad&Co, they feature a Rover II Canvas short that is a baby step away from cargo shorts but still an improvement. They come in a variety of subdued tones and are made from lightweight recycled nylon with SPF 50 protection and are just a bit dressier than your ho-hum cargo variety. This would be a great short, with a short-sleeved patterned button-up, to wear on a summertime date night or casual family dinner.
Speaking of short-sleeved patterned button-ups, my husband has two — and they are of the Hawaiian variety. Don’t get me wrong; I love a good campy Hawaiian-style shirt; I just don’t love it for
church or family photos. Instead, come Father’s Day morning; my husband could sport one of Bonobos Stretch Riviera Short Sleeve Shirts. With a comfy stretch for a better fit, this shirt comes in a dozen different colors and patterns. Some, like the Toot Toot Toucan Red prints, are a bit over the top, but the Aqua Striper Seersucker or Navy Geo prints are less loud but still distinctive. Lastly belts. My husband has a reversible black and brown belt that “lives” in the belt loops of the aforementioned baggy-saggy jeans. I think it’s time for an upgrade. And I’m looking at the Standard Belt in black from Tanner Goods. What I love about this belt, besides its quality and that it’s made in the US, is that you can choose the buckle! Cast brass, black, or stainless are just a few of several options for a truly customizable accessory.
I know you can’t ever really change a man, but you can toss his dirty t-shirts, faded jeans, and scruffy belt and gift him with more stylish and mature replacements. It may seem like I’m putting my husband down, but I am really grateful for the wonderful co-parent and partner he has become. I just want him to look nice, especially when he’s out with me. Happy Father’s Day!

The Susquehanna River Walk is a fitness treasure that runs along the Susquehanna River through several area municipalities. It is a great place for people who enjoy walking for fitness or just the idea of enjoying our environment at a leisurely pace. One activity that helps to highlight this is the program parkrun.
According to Lycoming College professor Jeff Newman, who brought the concept to this area, parkrun (always lower-
case) is an international organization that facilitates over 2,200 free, weekly, timed 5-kilometer run/walk community fitness events on Saturday mornings around the world.
parkrun began in 2004 with 13 runners in Bushy Park, London, and has since grown into a global phenomenon with millions of participants in 20 countries. There are currently 61 weekly parkrun events in the USA, including the Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun, beginning Saturdays at 9 a.m. by the dam near Wegmans in downtown Williamsport.
Newman told Webb Weekly the concept of parkrun is simple yet powerful. Every Saturday morning, individuals of all ages and abilities come together to run, jog, or walk a 5-kilometer course. parkrun events are organized and managed by dedicated volunteers, who ensure the smooth running of each event. Participants register online, print their unique barcode or have it available on their phone, and bring it along to any parkrun event they wish to attend anywhere in the world. Many individuals travel specifically to visit different parkrun events, and others make it a point to attend parkrun events when traveling for other reasons.
“At the Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun, we have hosted guests from Australia,
South Africa, the United Kingdom, Poland, and a number of states in the US, and many have stayed overnight in the area,” said Newman.
The Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun had its first event on October 2, 2021, and celebrated its milestone 75th event on June 10, 2023.
One hundred eighty-four different participants have completed 601 parkruns, including 69 new Personal Bests. A total of 92 individuals have volunteered 314 times. Given the problems of high healthcare costs, obesity, and mental health in the community, the local team is trying to spread the word in order to grow this public health seed that had been planted several years earlier in South Africa.

The goal of my writing today is to inspire you to access the powerful transforming grace God has made available to us through the Holy Spirit.
In this series of articles, we are recognizing one fundamental truth regarding transformational grace: God provides the grace, but we must access it. Doing so requires discipline. We access saving grace simply through faith. Transforming grace is different. It requires more of us — we must do something to experience its power.
e Holy Spirit and Obedience
Jesus teaches that access to the transformational grace of the Holy Spirit comes through obedience. See John 14 and 15. He even clari es that obedience will actually lead to greater transformational grace, just as pruning leads to greater harvest. See John 15:1-7. e more obedience we give, the more the Holy Spirit will challenge our weaknesses and immaturity.
John referred to this process as “walking in the light.” See John 1:5-10. If you want to be transformed, then be obedient to what the Spirit’s light reveals today. Doing so will allow the Spirit to move the light forward, exposing new
areas that must be transformed. Again, be obedient, and the Spirit will keep moving the light forward. is is what John meant by “walk in the light as He is in the light.” See 1 John 1:5-10.
Tim Hartzell
When Jesus saved me, I assumed I would be perfect from that moment forward. It took about 90 seconds to discover my assumption was wrong. Way wrong. In fact, I was a miserable failure. I seemed to sin constantly, and the task of living the perfect Christian life just seemed too big and di cult. I nearly gave up.
Did you know it takes about 56,000 steps to complete a marathon? Which two steps are the most important steps if you want to nish a marathon? Answer: e rst step and the next step. Every marathon runner takes one step at a time. No one can nish a marathon in one gargantuan step. at’s just not the way it works — and the same is true for transformation.
e Holy Spirit has a lot of transforming work yet to do in me — and maybe in you too. At times, the task just seems too big for us — like trying to run a marathon.
If you believe you cannot live the obe-
dient, transformed, and holy Christian life, then you are hung up believing you must complete the marathon in one step. This lie of “instant perfection” has kept you defeated and stuck for far too long. Christian perfection isn’t about the 56,000th step; it is the willingness to take the next obedient step. You can take that next step. Rest assured — the transforming grace of God’s Spirit will then empower you to take the next step, and the next, and the next.
What next step is God’s Spirit revealing for you today? If you want to experience more of the Spirit’s transformational grace, then take that next step.
Here are excerpts from John 14. See how often Jesus ties obedience to the transformational work of the Spirit:
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever — the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day, you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and
I too will love them and show myself to them…”
“Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
“All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid.
“You heard me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens so that when it does happen, you will believe. I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. Come now; let us leave.”
Friend, take that next step in obedience — and the Holy Spirit will lead you toward the next step. Keep taking those steps, and in time, you will be transformed. That is God’s promise!

My Pap, Floyd Liddick, has been gone for seven years now. My Gram, Lois Liddick, and Pap had a house about a half mile up the road from us. Driving by was part of my daily routine. Gram would be out watering the flowers, and Pap would be up working in his garden or on his tractor heading up to the barn. Pap knew the sound of our car and never even had to look. You would see his thumb and index finger up in the air waving back and forth as our little Subaru with an exhaust drove by and beeped. That was Pap’s famous wave. After Pap passed away, I couldn’t go past their house for a while. I would take Bottle Run instead of Grimesville. I knew he wouldn’t be out in the garden or walking up to the barn, and this was tough for some time. Once I started driving by, I could still see Pap working in his garden and waving his famous wave as I drove by. Even after the house sold, I would still beep. Pap was there in spirit, and it will always be Pap and Gram’s house.
Pap sure loved his garden. He and Gram enjoyed canning together. When stopping by for a visit, they would be on their back porch snapping a big ole basket of green beans. I would sit there and help as we chatted for a while. Pap would send me
Andrea McElroy
home with a bag of veggies from his garden. He grew all kinds of goodies. I think about this a lot this time of year. How much they loved canning and growing things in their garden. Gram also made homemade bread that was to die for. I miss stopping over and smelling it baking in the oven. Those were the days. I was lucky enough to learn how to can from my grandparents. They taught me so much. There is nothing more rewarding than a coal cellar filled with delicious harvest goodies at the end of fall.
With Chris and I living so close to Pap and Gram, we often came home to a grocery bag on our porch. We knew Pap had stopped by. There was a bag full of the most beautiful vegetables. He always took such good care of his family. Gram and Pap both did. We had such wonderful times at that sweet house on Grimesville Road. Sled riding down the big hill. So many picnics with picnic tables under the big ole maple tree that still stands high on the front lawn. (I believe it’s a maple anyway.) Us cousins playing kickball or baseball on their front lawn. I was running so fast to a base that I couldn’t stop and landed right in Gram’s big lilac bush that used to be in their yard. I felt bad about that one. That bush was never the
See COOKIN on Page 26
same after that.
Their barn was filled with hay bales that we used to climb. I used to try to find kittens in between them. One time I could see them but not get to them. So, I climbed up with Pap’s pitchfork and decided I was going to break the twine around the hay so I could get the kittens. I was wearing flip-flops. (Are we getting an idea of where things are going?) Haha! Oh, I broke the twine. It worked! But the end of the pitchfork went right through the top of my foot. We ran down to get Gram. There was blood everywhere. I was OK, but I still have a scar on the top of my foot from the pitchfork hole. I’m a special one. *insert cheesy smile here*
Any holiday you can think of, we celebrated there. Even if it wasn’t a holiday, Gram made it special. We would take walks, and we loved going to visit the geese.
Gram would bring bread for us to feed them, and the special goose named Henry. The house the geese were at was a beautiful yellow farmhouse. It was one of my momma’s dream houses. I found that out as I grew older. For years and years, we would go walk to see the geese while picking wildflowers along the road on our way. Little did I know that those geese would be ours someday. At fourteen years old, my parents bought that yellow farmhouse. Henry, the goose, was now my official pet. I’ll have to tell you all about Henry sometime. Ohh, yes — he was also a special goose! No wonder
we got along. Hahahahaha!!
I just thought it was so neat that this house we always walked to with Gram was now my dad & mom’s. Little did I know that the sweet little house right across from the goose yard would be the home I would raise a family in and that my brother and his wife would buy that yellow farmhouse.
We never know where life will take us, but we will always have the memories and moments in our hearts forever. The geese may not be in that yard anymore, and I may not get any of Pap’s fresh garden veggies, but it’s something I will never forget.
Summertime helps bring it all back.

In a recent article by Fitt Insider, an online newsletter and community for fitness professionals, the idea is that health optimization through the use of fitness technology such as apps, Oura Smart Ring, Fitbit, or even your average smartphone may be making us less healthy as a society. According to the article, the global fitness tracker market is expected to reach $139 Billion by 2028. In addition, over 350,000 fitness apps worldwide account for an additional $106 Billion.
As technology improves, people are routinely building health optimization into their day, which is generally a good thing until health optimization turns into an obsession. With the use of this technology, many people are creating a routine that is so rigid that if they don’t stick to it, they are feeling extreme guilt and stress, which is counter to the purpose of tracking. Add in social media where “influencers” are filtered, steroided, nipped, and tucked unattainable ideal is created. All of which lead to anxiety and depression. So, instead of helping the average person to live a long, healthy life of well-being and happiness, a culture of beautiful-at-any-cost is being created.
As previously mentioned, over-tracking is caused when optimization turns into obsession. While some “optimization” is positive,
Dave Bellomo
the pursuit of the perfect routine at the expense of everything else may actually decrease one’s quality of sleep, cause anxiety and lead to generally unhealthy behavior. (Yours truly actually turned off the activity reminders on my Fitbit because they were stressing me out!)
Here are a few of the side effects caused by the over-optimization of fitness tech:
Orthosomnia: An obsessive pursuit of optimal sleep through the use of a fitness tracker leading to insomnia. Nocebo effect: Where a placebo is a harmless remedy prescribed for a positive psychological effect rather than physiological, a nocebo effect is a feeling of illness or being unwell due to a negative reading, such as a metric that doesn’t meet the goal on your smartwatch.
Dependency: Compulsively taking action to achieve rewards or complete goals, such as taking a step challenge to an unhealthy level and causing the activity to no longer be enjoyed.
In addition, the negative readings of an app or wearable technology are often inaccurate and should not be taken as completely true. For example, your smartwatch may be too loose to produce an accurate reading, or a sensor may be failing. This tech should simply be used to assist you in achieving your fitness goals and should not
be followed blindly.
Fitness trackers and apps can be useful tools in achieving our fitness goals. They are intended to help us develop healthy habits by reminding us of tasks that we set, such as drinking water or going for a walk. They can also help us count calories, track our food intake, measure heart rate and blood oxygen levels, and may even help warn us of an impending heart attack. A negative side to fitness technology is when well-intentioned tracking leads to an obsession that may adversely rule our lives and take good habits too far. This obsession may falsely lead us to believe we are ill or even that we are bad or lazy for not achieving every goal. Ultimately this negativity can lead to stress which studies have shown to
be one of the leading causes of poor health — the exact opposite of what these devices are intended to do.
At the end of the day, everything comes back to basic, positive lifestyle habits such as eating a nutritious diet made up of whole foods and consisting mostly of non-starchy vegetables, some fruit, and quality protein sources. Exercise is also a must and should be comprised of strength training, cardio-respiratory exercise, and mobility work. Stress management should also be a priority, and things such as mindfulness meditation and time spent in nature should be employed. Last, an adequate amount of quality sleep is not just a luxury but an absolute necessity and is at least as important as the other things mentioned.

Recommendations have just been drawn up by the J.K. Mosser Tannery, a plant of the Armour Leather Company, located in Newberry, which calls for the erection of a new six-story manufacturing building on Arch Street, for the purpose of expanding the cutting business of the local company.
When the new department is in operation it is expected that the workforce at the factory will triple.
According to present plans, the new structure will be built of reinforced concrete, with brick facings and up-to-date and modern in every detail. Plans call for 35,000 feet of floor space. The building will have frontage of 150 feet on Arch Street, 302 feet in depth and
196 feet in the rear, where the new structure will adjoin the present property.
The building will be erected on property that the company has owned for some time and also includes the recent purchase of a 50-foot lot on Arch Street secured from James Davison. Arrangements are now being made to move the dwellings on Arch Street that now stand on the site for the new building, to other locations. Realizing the need for housing facilities the company has taken this step instead of tearing the dwellings down.
The object of the company in erecting the new building is to double the output in the cutting department, which will mean a probable increase in the number of employees.
Last week, Webb’s Weird Words wandered into the wonky world of sesquipedalian terms — meaning “long” or “polysyllabic” (literally: “one and a half feet”).
Today by contrast, we’ll look at the other end of the spectrum — with a selection of diminutive, Lilliputian or teeny-weeny words. (Sorry, there aren’t too many comical synonyms for “short.”)
Note: I’ve mostly avoided two-letter words, as that will be a later article directed toward Scrabble-devotees, who rely so heavily on that little category. I’ve omitted pronunciation where not needed; likewise, these are nouns unless otherwise indicated.
Alb: A linen vestment worn by priests.
Ary: (AIR-ee, adjective) Any; also “none,” similar to “nary.” A Southern U.S. slang term often used by characters in fiction from that region, it’s a contraction of “ever a” (“e’er a”) — as in “Was there ever a person who…”
Eme: (EEM) Scottish term meaning friend or uncle.
Dup: Now-obsolete verb meaning “to open.” Shortened from “do up,” it is used by Ophelia in “Hamlet,” singing of a lover who “dupped the chamber door.”
Feu: (FYOO) Land on which rent is paid using crops or money — related to “fee”; another Scottish word.
Fid: A wooden or metal bar often employed in sailing.
Ka: (kah) Popular in Scrabble — where Ks are hard to use — this is an Egyptian religious term for a spirit that lives inside humans and supposedly survives after bodily death.
Kak: African term meaning rubbish or feces — as in “Help me wipe this kak off my shoe!”
Kef: Sleepy contentment, often induced by narcotics.
Loo: British slang term for bathroom; I first encountered it in Trevanian’s 1973 spy spoof “The Loo Sanction,” in which a character is actually bumped off in the lav. (Oh, well — we all gotta go sometime.)
Oik: Another British term, this one meaning an uncouth or oafish person. Plural “oicks,” just in case you know several of these.
Ort: Somewhat common word meaning food scraps or remainders from a meal.
Oud: (ood) Lute-like musical instrument of Africa and the Middle East.
Sei: (say) A type of finback whale now widely endangered; also, “rorqual.”
Suk: (sook) Market or bazaar, esp. in Arabic countries.
Voe: Yet another Scots’ term, this one meaning a small creek or bay.
Wen: Also fairly common, this term refers to a boil or growth on the skin. According to dictionary.com, in Britain it can mean a sizable city.

The heading does not mean that Judge Arbuckle will lend you money, but what he does lend is his very valuable time — and of all places, in prisons. Federal District Magistrate William “Skip” Arbuckle was the guest speaker at the annual Volunteers Appreciation Dinner at the Allenwood Federal Correctional Complex on April 4th of this year. His talk was so inspiring; I wanted to sit down and learn more about him and what caused him to devote thousands of hours of volunteer time in the past decades to help others who badly needed help.
Skip Arbuckle graduated from Grove City College in 1967 with a bachelor’s degree in political science, and also as a three-time All-American swimmer. He had an ROTC scholarship with the US Air Force, but as his eyesight had weakened to the point where he had to wear glasses, he could not be a pilot. Arbuckle got a deferment to study law at the Akron University School of Law, and by the time he received his degree, the Vietnam War was over. The USAF did not need lawyers, so he went into the Air Force Reserve Judge Advocate General’s Corps from 1971 to 1985.
Throughout his career, Skip Arbuckle had
a heart for others, particularly those who had been incarcerated. For example, he realized that prisons needed teachers for inmate courses, so he volunteered for classes in business law and introduction to business. In those early years, there were a number of those who were serving three-year mandatory sentences for involuntary deaths from DUIs, and these ‘white collar’ types would be side by side with life sentence inmates. [It made for an interesting class environment!] Arbuckle got great satisfaction from the appreciation he received from his ‘captive’ audience.
In 1989, Arbuckle’s colleagues thought he was endangering himself by his voluntary service in prisons. Still, he emphasized that in all his years of working in prisons, he never had a bad incident. One of his fellow lawyers decided to follow Arbuckle’s example and unfortunately found himself at the Camp Hill Correctional Institution when they had a three-day riot that destroyed some eighty percent of the prison’s buildings. It turned out that the year 1989 had a different but much more far-reaching impact for Skip Arbuckle. Throughout his career, Skip Arbuckle has always volunteered in any area that he felt he could help. It turned out that his fellow lawyers fell into this category as well. Lawyers are like others who strug-
gle with life difficulties, but they must also maintain the public trust to be effective. What happens when a lawyer, or a judge, or even law students struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief or loss, eating disorders, or even compassion fatigue? What if they turn to self-medicate through alcohol or some other substance abuse? How can they be helped without compromising their profession?
Out of this came an initiative called Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers (LCL) in Pennsylvania. Arbuckle was one of the founding members in 1989 and is still active in the organization. Over these past thirty-plus years, LCL has discreetly assisted thousands of lawyers, judges, their family members, and law students struggling with all sorts of problematic behavior.
Another issue developed not long after the Atlantic City casinos began springing up. The PA Supreme Court was concerned
that lawyers could be compromised from gambling. To ensure that this would never become an issue, an initiative was created entitled Lawyers Fund for Client Security, which was to reimburse victims of attorney dishonesty in the practice of law and, at the same time, preserve the integrity and protect the good name of the legal profession. And again, Skip Arbuckle was on the ground floor of this initiative.
What makes Arbuckle so unique is that given all of his humanitarian work, he also was an exceptional lawyer and thus, in July of 2008, was selected to become a part-time federal magistrate judge, and then in June of 2017, he was sworn in as United States Magistrate Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania which is located in the Federal Office Building in Williamsport.
At the Lycoming Law Association’s annual banquet in January of this year, he received the “William E. Nichols Community Service Award.” He certainly deserved it as he had served as president for a number of years and was instrumental in reinvigorating the foundation board and increasing its membership. Judge Arbuckle has been a guest lecturer at Lycoming College, judges rounds of the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s mock trial competitions for high school students, is involved in the Law Day Committee by judging essays, supports the Court Appointed Special Advocate program, and even supports Project Linus, providing blankets for children.
Judge Arbuckle is one in a million, and hopefully, his example will inspire others to use their time, talents, and treasure to help others.
Each year in the middle of June, families honor the special men who help make the familial engine run. Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June in the United States and Canada, and families across both nations make the day all about dads.
Many families have their own unique Father’s Day traditions, but it’s not uncommon for those rituals to cross familial lines. For example, gift-giving is one popular Father’s Day tradition many families share. With that in mind, anyone looking for the right gift
for Dad this Father’s Day can consider these ideas.
Grill: Father’s Day comes just as spring is winding down and summer is set to begin. That means Dad will soon

be firing up the grill several nights per week — if he hasn’t already. Since summer is grilling season and Father’s Day predates the start of summer by a couple of days, why not give Dad a new grill this season? Many people have fallen in love with the art of smoked foods in recent years, and if Dad fits that bill, then a smoker/grill hybrid can be just the gift to make him smile. If Dad prefers the convenience of grilling at a moment’s notice, then a new propane grill can fit the bill. Dads who love to tailgate outside their favorite football stadium may love a new portable grill to bring their pregame tailgates up a notch.
Beer subscription service: If Dad’s a devoted drinker of craft beers, then a subscription to a beer club that delivers suds right to his doorstep could make this Father’s Day one he won’t soon forget. Clubs vary and many offer an array of membership options, but typically these groups hand-pick beers from an assortment of participating breweries, some local and some from distant, though likely domestic, locales. Gift givers can take note of Dad’s favorite beer style, whether it’s the wildly popular IPA or beers brewed in the Belgian tradition or some other style. Such information can be provided to clubs who will then curate the subscription
box to align with the styles Dad likes best.
Golf trip: If Dad is an avid golfer, then he likely has his sights set on some special places to play 18 holes. Families can pool their resources and give Dad a trip to a course he wants to play. Courses across North America have hosted PGA Tour and PGA Tour Canada events, meaning Dad could end up playing the same holes his favorite professionals have played. Pebble Beach Golf LinksTM in California is undoubtedly on many a father’s golf course bucket list, but many more clubs outside of California and across both the U.S. and Canada offer stunning
views and challenging rounds that will be sure to please Dad this Father’s Day. Man cave memorabilia: No man cave is complete without memorabilia. If Dad’s a diehard sports fan, help him decorate his go-to spot to watch his favorite team with some authentic memorabilia. Whether it’s a framed gameworn jersey or a bat with Dad’s name engraved on it or a basketball signed by the roster of his favorite team, these items will look great on the wall of any father’s man cave.
The right Father’s Day gift for Dad can make this special day even more meaningful for the men who do so much for their families throughout the year.

“Dinner with the President: Food, Politics, and a History of Breaking Bread at the White House” by Alex Prud’Homme c.2023, Alfred A. Knopf
$35.00
480 pages
The invitation said Black Tie Only and you know what that means. It means this isn’t some put-onthe-old-feedbag kind of event. You’ll need your best manners, and you should brush up on where the glass goes and what to do with your fork. You don’t
want any faux pas attached to your name, no emotionally-charged statements, and let’s hope you’re not self-conscious. As in “Dinner with the President” by Alex Prud’Homme, the world will be watching you eat.
For as long as there’s been a President of the United States, someone’s had to make sure the guy had nourishment because it’s not like he’s got time to run to the kitchen whenever he’s hungry, right? So somebody plans the menu, the First Lady weighs in, the table is set, and in the end, meals with the President have historically been loaded with interesting dishes, culinary quirks, divine desserts, and sour grapes.
To feed the Continental Army, says Prud’Homme, George Washington resorted to theft. Thomas Jefferson knew that great food was a way to put political foes more at ease with one another, while Dolley Madison thought the same with snuff as dessert.
Abraham Lincoln helped cement one of our most beloved national holidays into our lives. Later, Ulysses Grant was known for big dinners of up to thirty-five courses and Theodore Roosevelt held one dinner that caused big controversy. Our heaviest president to date, William Taft, loved a mussel-and-heavy-cream soup called Billy Bi, which probably didn’t help his diet. On the other side was Woodrow Wilson, who was “utterly disinterested in food.”
Herbert Hoover was a speed-eater. FDR loved terrapin soup and considered it a “lucky” dish to serve. Roosevelt’s cook, a Mrs. Nesbitt, was inherited by the Trumans, who intensely disliked her. Mamie Eisenhower called herself a “cooking school dropout.” LBJ used BBQ as a political asset, Bill Clinton’s diet was a closely watched thing, George W. Bush loved his baseball-stadium-themed meals, and Barack Obama ushered in a “foodie” White House that tried to change the way America ate. So what do you do with the extra spoons, the finger bowl, the sticky butter knife, and do you need four drinking glasses? You won’t need to know any of that to read “Dinner with the President.” You can just sit down and take a bite.
That’s not to say that this book is completely informal: the opulence of a state dinner shines through in the tales author Alex Prud’homme tells, complete with country leaders, ladies in gowns, and tuxes with tails. You can almost see the glitter. On the other hand, the casualness of, for example, an intimate several-hundred-guest barbecue seems charmingly homespun until you remember that, in politics, food isn’t always just food.
There are battles between chefs and chiefs in this book, tasty historical anecdotes, favorite White House dishes that will make you glad you aren’t at that state dinner, and recipes to make you feel positively Presidential. For you, that makes a “Dinner with the President” a book you’ll eat up.

Tomatoes are one of the few garden plants that can self-pollinate. Most of the pollination of a tomato plant is complete within five days. Take a look at your blossoms. If they are closed, pollination is complete. If the blossoms are falling off the vine, this is a sign
Charlie Gizenski
that the blossoms are not being pollinated. Regardless, here are a few tricks to help pollinate as many blossoms as possible.
All tomato blossoms are facing down. The male organ is at the bottom of the flower, and the female organ is at the top, near the yellow petals.

Pollination really relies on the wind but can also be done by hand. As you are walking in your garden, take note of any new blossoms. When the blossoms are open, gently tap on the vines enough to make the leaves move. Some gardeners use a small stick or dowel to tap the vines. I like to shake the stalk of the tomato plant gently. These stalks are not delicate, so don’t be afraid to give them a good shake. When staking your tomato plants,
it’s best to tie them loosely, which allows the plants to move in the wind, leading to more pollination. Locally, the weather has been very warm and dry. You may begin to see more than usual amounts of blossoms dropping from the plant, which is the plant’s way of telling you it may be in distress. Make sure your tomatoes have enough water (remember to water the root, not the plant). Happy gardening! #70

Be sure you are buying tickets
I have gotten all of my hearing aids through my daughter. Itʼs been amazing to see all of the improvements over the years. I love the Bluetooth giving me the ability to hear in both ears and hands free driving while on the phone. The availability for her make adjustments over the phone has been great. The sound clarity is great, and they automatically adjust to loud sounds so I can work without hurting my hearing. I am so proud of my daughter and very happy she is my hearing healthcare professional!

built on true 27 gauge steel, that’s measured before paint, not after. This thicker steel is the fundamental design difference of the Everlast II OMNI panel; boasting long-term strength, enabling higher snow and wind yields, and unprecedented hail resistance. Additional benefits include improved job-site durability, and the reduction of oil canning, ghosting and purlin show through.
The Cutters rebrand as the Potato Capers for every Friday home game this season featuring all new jerseys and caps presented by Bower Electric.

It happens every spring, without fail. It has been happening for several weeks now, and if you are fortunate, you may witness this phenomenon over the next few weeks as well. It is Mother Nature’s replenishing of the species — the birth of birds and mammals throughout our fields and forests. If you have been spending time outdoors recently or will be doing so over the next few weeks, you might just come across newly hatched grouse or turkeys or have the opportunity to watch the antics of this year’s fawns or the newborns of other species.
Near the house, the robins, and an increasing number of brown thrushes, have built their nests and laid their eggs — some of which have already hatched. The mothers are now busy bringing the demanding chicks, worms, and insects to satisfy their appetites. Baltimore orioles, cardinals, and wrens are nesting nearby, as evidenced by the occasional sighting of both the males and females, and often listening to them calling in the early morning hours.
The nearby fields are dotted with several dozen bluebird boxes. Every season in late fall or winter, I open the boxes and clean out any nesting material, sometimes discovering that a field mouse has taken up residence there. As in past years, the tree
swallows are the first to arrive and build a nest in the boxes. After they have reared their clutch of young and have left the box, nearby bluebirds take over and occupy the box where they raise a clutch of young and sometimes raise a second litter of young before they return to the nearby woods for the winter.
Over the years, the wild turkey population in my area has been in a slow and steady decline. This spring, it has been encouraging to watch the occasional presence of a hen turkey as she leaves the nearby woods and enters the fields, where she slowly scratches and pecks her way in search of insects, seeds, and grasses. She shows up every few days in the same area, so there are high hopes that she has a nest nearby. Any day now, she might just bring a brood of young turkey poults with her on her feeding routine.
Meanwhile, just four days ago, while hiking on a nearby state game lands trail, I came across several very young grouse chicks. There were a mere three inches or so tall and were just gaining their ability to fly. As I rounded a turn in the trail, the chicks, which had been on the edge of a field, flew into nearby pine trees, landing in the lower branches and rocked back and forth as they attempted to gain their balance on their perch of the small branches. As I stood quietly observing the chicks, the hen grouse that was rearing them softly clucked

nearby, no doubt directing them to safety from the threat of a potential predator. Every spring, on a nearby pond, Canada geese will drop in for a short rest on their way north, and from time to time, they are joined by mallards, wood ducks, and the occasional teal or other waterfowl. More often than not, the usual visitors are the wood ducks — usually in mating pairs of drakes and hens, but sometimes a single male or female will present themselves as they swim out into the open water from the protection of the grasses along the shoreline. Last week, as I noticed a wake being made on the pond, I raised my binoculars to get a closer look at what was on the water. Much to my surprise and amazement, a hen wood duck was slowly
swimming across the pond, and trailing along behind were seven baby woodies!
Perhaps the most widely enjoyed observations of newborns are the muchanticipated birth of the whitetail fawns. Spring gobbler hunters are often the first to report the spring sighting of them since these hunters spend many waking hours in the woods and fields in pursuit of wild turkeys. For the last several weeks, more and more fawns have been born, and I still see the occasional doe that appears to be carrying a fawn that has yet to be born.
Yes, this is truly the time of new beginnings throughout the world of nature and provides us with opportunities for enjoyable observation of the young of all species of birds and mammals.

Pennsylvania’s bass season is about to get into full swing; from April 8 to June 9, it is catch and immediate release only, but after that, you can keep four per day.
I personally don’t keep any bass, but I sure do like catching them on lakes, ponds, and in rivers, and streams.
Pennsylvania has three different bass — the smallmouth, the largemouth, and the spotted bass — however, the spotted bass is pretty rare in most of our state.
Largemouths mostly inhabit lakes and ponds, and smallmouths are found mostly in rivers and streams.
Smallmouths do show up in some of our lakes, and I have even taken an occasional largemouth in the river.
A lot of the same fishing techniques and lures can be used to take both species, but if I plan to go after largemouths, I’m heading to a lake somewhere, and June is a good month.
The good thing about going af-
Ken Hunterter largemouths in June is the water temperatures are decent, and the bass have moved out of the deeper water to complete their spawning in shallower water. That means bass are active and can often be found in a variety of spots on the lake, including shallow weeded areas, dropoffs, the edges of deep weed growth, and structures at various locations.
How I fish for largemouths at this time often depends on the time of day I’m fishing. If I’m fishing in the earlier morning hours, I’ll probably concentrate my efforts on lily pads and weedy shallow bays, and a favorite lure presentation is a top water lure.
There’s no shortage of topwater lures, and a soft-bodied plastic frog imitation is hard to beat. The hooks lie up tight to the soft body, and thus, it is pretty much snag-resistant. No doubt bass are used to nailing frogs in this environment since that is the

frog’s home base. I use a baitcasting outfit for this presentation since it handles heavier line easier, and in this weedy stuff, I want the strength and backbone to haul a bass out. Believe it or not, there are a few of us out there who also use a fly rod to take bass, and a stout nine-foot fly rod with a popper or frog imitation can also be very effective in taking bass in the lily pads and weedy flats. There are a bunch of other surface lures that one should have on hand as well. Fore and aft prop baits can be very effective, especially in a bit
deeper water. You should also have stick baits and crawlers like jitterbugs and chuggers.
If I’m in a search mood for bass, I will often go to a spinnerbait, usually one with a Colorado blade, because it creates more vibration on the retrieve and hopefully attracts more strikes. I like the spinnerbait in both fairly shallow water out to mid-depths of ten or so feet. If I’m fishing it deeper, I’ll count it down for a bit and then start my retrieve; I often use a stopand-go retrieve to make it look more like a wounded or injured bait.
Without a doubt, one of my favorite methods for taking largemouths is with soft plastics like Carolina rigs, Texas rigs, and a wacky rig. While these rigs can be fished in shallow water, they are especially productive in some of the deeper areas — water in the five or six-foot range and deeper.
I rig my Carolina and Texas rigs on baitcasting gear, providing more power for harder hook setting, but when it comes to the wacky rig, I go to a fairly heavy open-faced spinning outfit loaded with 20-pound test
braided line with about seven feet of 6-10-pound fluorocarbon at the business end. The braided line casts further, easier; it has greater strength for its diameter, and the sensitivity is far greater. I think this last factor is a major one since when fishing these soft plastic presentations. I rely almost entirely on feel, and the tap of a strike is telegraphed much better with the braided line.
There are certainly a lot of other presentations that will take largemouths, but this will be a good start to a day of pursuing largemouths.

In a recent article, distinguished sportscaster
Bob Costas detailed the awe he experienced when as a youngster, his father took him to his first Major League Baseball game at Yankee Stadium. The stadium’s meticulously manicured green grass was a sight he has never forgotten and instantly drew him to the game.
While Bowman Field is not Yankee Stadium, the country’s second-oldest ballpark and longtime west end treasure today provides the same lure for any youngster attending their first baseball game. Despite its age and league affiliation status, the green grass of Bowman is as good or better than any stadium can provide.
On a hot June afternoon, the man responsible for keeping Bowman Field pristine, Cameron Richardson, native of Dillsburg, PA, and graduate of Shippensburg University, paused from his hard-working schedule to share the pride in the work he does.
“Coming out of college, I always knew I wanted to work in sports. I got a sales internship with an independent baseball team in York. I quit on the second day because I realized I didn’t want to sit behind a desk.
“From there, I got into landscaping doing
sports fields for the Northern York School District. I really enjoyed that, and over the next few years, I worked in several states in various landscaping positions. I’ve been in Williamsport the past five years taking care of Bowman Field.”
Scott Lowery
Richardson is employed by BrightView Landscapes, the official fields consultant for Major League Baseball. As such, BrightView is involved with any event MLB has outside a Major League stadium, whether it is domestic or international, in readying the playing surface. Such events as the Field of Dreams game, the World Baseball Classic, and our own MLB/Little League Classic are included in those assignments.
“BrightView began work at Bowman Field in 2016/2017 when the playing surface was rebuilt for the Little League Classic. That initial work was led by Isaiah Lienau, and I came on in 2019. We worked together for a while until he moved on to Dyersville, Iowa, to build the Field of Dreams field.” Richardson describes his responsibilities as “endless.”
“Anything on the field we take care of. I have three others helping me from May through Labor Day, and then I am here by myself from September through April. I am here year-round. The field usually closes
up around Thanksgiving. After about six weeks, I get a little restless and sometimes will take on assignments at another of our fields in warmer climates. Then it is back to Williamsport to start the process anew.”
It is anything but a nine-to-five job for Richardson and his crew.
“On a game day, work begins at 8:00 a.m. We begin by mowing the outfield in two directions [which produces a pattern look], which takes about three hours. We mow the infield and the bullpens by hand. The biggest thing we face is to make sure there is enough moisture in the dirt surfaces of the basepaths, mound, and plate. The watering process is done four or five times a day, depending on the weather conditions. Then we make sure the warning track is smoothed out and watered.
“Around 2:00 p.m., we start setting things up for batting practice. This includes setting up screens and placing turf protectors for the grass. After batting practice concludes [around 5:30], we have the field for thirty minutes to smooth the infield, water, and line the field and make everything game ready. Throughout the game, we have various tasks that include dragging the field after the third and sixth innings.
“After the game, we have an hour to an hour-and-a-half of work patching the mound and plate and getting things ready for the next day. Game days are long ones, and it is usually about 11:00 p.m. until we get to go home.”
Asked about how Bowman Field may
compare to other MLB Draft League facilities, Richardson gave the local venue high marks.
“The only other Draft League stadium I’ve seen is State College. The groundskeeper for the Spikes admits our field is much better. Their field is eighteen years old, so it has some longevity to it. Our field was rebuilt in 2017, so it is still relatively young, and luckily for us, we have all the equipment we need to maintain it. All the visiting teams that come in here give us very positive feedback on the condition of the field.
“A lot of people may think all groundskeepers do is run sprinklers and mow grass. There is so much more that goes into it. We continually look at leaf tissue, checking for disease, fertilize all the time to make sure it is growing and thriving, hand watering hot spots, and working the clay areas of the pitcher’s mound and batter’s box. The biggest misconception the public may have is a lack of understanding of the amount of work that goes into it.
“The best part about what I do is the instant gratification of doing your job and then two hours later look back and see the results of what you did and see how beautiful you can make something. The long hours are a downside, but the end results make it all worthwhile.”
Should there be any 97-year-old ladies out there desiring to play the dating game, give Cameron Richardson a call? Judging from what he is doing for Bowman Field, he can make you look very good!

I was recently asked to tee it up in a few tournaments. I used to love golf, but now it’s totally different. Yes. I am back to coaching at my alma mater. I am enjoying my interactions with the Lycoming College Warriors. But I don’t play much. It’s cool. I don’t miss it. I seriously don’t remember the last time I played my own ball. It has been a few years, as I now mostly stick to scrambles and member-guests. I used to be a rather good player. I am serious. Feel free to take a look at my scrapbook. My entire life was built around the game. I golfed in high school and in col-
lege. My very first job was with the United States Golf Association. I worked at White Deer Golf Course for 15 years. This is also my second stint at Lycoming. I just wrapped up the 16th season with coaching. Yes. I have played in many individual and team tournaments. Competitive. I peaked when I was 25.
I played two rounds with my good friend Eric Loudenslager. The Corey Creek Member-Guest is always on the radar. I will continue to play as long as my free-spirited chum will ask me. I love the course, and her people are outstanding.
Jamie SpencerI hit the ball well, and so did Eric. We didn’t light up the scoreboard, but we were respectful. A few may have accused us of bagging. One really got on us.
Uncle Ray WHEELAND is still my buddy. What happened to you guys?
Second flight? Didn’t you use to win these tournaments? Yes. There was a time. That was many years ago when we were both in our prime. Eric and I used to play a lot together. We have some fantastic yet blurry memories. Clinton. Valley Farms. White Deer Memorial and the Williamsport Invitational. The ERS even recorded some victories.
It was great to see so many familiar faces. Many of my brothers to the north actually read the Webb Weekly. Bill Byrne is the man. We talked about hoops and fishing. Friendly banter. I would mention everyone’s name, but I am holding out for money. Corey Creek is a spectacular golf course. It was in great shape, and the rhododendrons were blooming. I love the big greens and open fairways. Some of the views were outstanding.
Eric and I played a two-person scramble. They are a great way to keep things fun. Everyone hits. You pick the best shot and keep at it. All walks of life can enjoy and
add to this format. Good players help, but they are not required. Now I can still play from tee to green. I am getting shorter. My wedge game is still elite. Putting was never my forte, and I tend to always miss it. Thankfully in a scramble, you have a partner. Eric is solid. He saved me on many occasions.
This weekend I am golfing with my man William Kieser. The Williamsport Country Club Member-Guest. Fancy. Thick wallets. I will do my best to hang in there. I am sure there will be some stupendous stories.
Golf is a great game. Jensen is now showing interest. He wants to play more. It is a beautiful thing. Maybe I will return. Who knows. The circle of life. Cheers.
