The More the Game Changes The More it Stays the Same

Wow! What a start to the Little League World Series, and as you’re reading this, things are just starting to get really interesting over on the Hill in South Williamsport.

In my column last week, I focused on the Little League Pledge and the importance of doing things the right way. I used Philly’s pitcher Michael Lorenzen and his no-hit performance as an example of how hard work, perseverance, and opportunity can come together to create moments of a lifetime. These unbelievable and spontaneous events can unite and transcend sports. Well, it didn’t take long for the Little Leaguers to provide those amazing moments that you just never know when are going to happen within the great game of baseball.

The 76th playing of the LLWS began with two no-hitters on the opening day; talk about throwing out the first pitch and getting things started. This was just the opening act leading up to what was to happen on day two, as three Chinese Taipei pitchers combined for a perfect game. Ironically, the last time this event happened at LLWS was when the same two teams, Chinese Taipei and Canada, met about six years ago.

This year’s version of perfection even included an immaculate inning — three up, three down. Nine strikes were thrown by the pitcher, and three strikeouts recorded by the official scorer. Just in case you didn’t know, a little baseball knowledge provided courtesy of team Taiwan and pitcher Fan Chen-Jun.

Some other amazing numbers regarding Chen-Jun in his 3 2/3 innings of pitching: he threw 30 of 35 pitches for strikes, consistently hit 80 miles an hour, and hit a 2-run homer. At press time, I had not seen all 20 teams play yet, however, Taiwan seems to be the team to beat, and Chen-Jun appears to be the player to watch. Their roster seems to be loaded with talent and outstanding pitching. This is even more important at the plate this year with the continuous batting order, where everyone on the roster bats.

I know one thing for certain: if Mr. Bill ‘Buck’ Byham were still with us, he would be beyond impressed with the pitching and defense being witnessed this year. As I listened to Gary Chrisman and Tom O’Malley broadcasting a game, I couldn’t help but think about Mr. Byham, as I always called him. I still miss hearing his voice and thoughts about what was going

on with the young arms and the game in general. I would love to get his take on the evolution of pitching and the velocity and command being exhibited by so many players on each team. I’m sure he would also cover the catching position and how good every catcher has to be to handle these kids and the stuff they are bringing to the dish. And that’s something he would definitely remind us of; these are just kids out there.

Mr. Byham believed games and championships were won or lost with pitching and defense. Both of which were taught, learned, and practiced long before game day. I’m sure he is looking down, smiling, as this becomes even more evident with every passing Little League game.

Back to those voices on the radio. It just wouldn’t be the LLWS without listening to Gary, Tom, Ken Sawyer, Scott Lowery, and Tom Speicher.

At a time when everything is about watching the game on the screen of your choice, I love to listen to them paint the picture and bring the game to life with words. This was how baseball first became America’s Pastime long ago. I’m sure many of you can think of that special LLWS moment shared with the gang long before every game was televised.

A tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to the broad-

casting crew, who truly make a great event even better.

A reminder to all: as the action continues to move forward toward crowning a World Series Champion, don’t forget about the 13th Annual Williamsport Welcomes the World celebration this Friday in downtown Williamsport. Over 20,000 people participated in the 2022 event. The street festival has a variety of programs, including live music, kids’ zones full of fun and free activities, along with various food and merchandise vendors.

The Grand Slam Parade and Williamsport Welcomes the World provide great book-end events right in the heart of Williamsport. They are a great way to share in the joy and pageantry of the LLWS and enjoy all that downtown has to offer. My closing thought on the LLWS is how great it is that the event has expanded to 20 teams. It’s fantastic to see Cuba here in person and not just in the movie “Mickey.”

On the United States side, I just think of all the more opportunities teams from across our Country have to reach the Field of Dreams for every Little League player. And how I wish we had the current format when my kids were playing. To Steve Keener and his team up on the Hill, thank you for the great leadership and making this happen.

Get out and about and enjoy all August has to offer.

God Bless America.

That’s a Wrap on Little League and Summer Vacation

The Little League World Series is winding down and we are closing in on the end of summer. Kids will be heading back to school and this Friday will bring us the first Friday night football games.

As all the tiny humans head back to school, remember to be careful out there. Kids aren’t great at paying attention so make sure you are being extra attentive at corners, near schools and just in general.

Parents, please remind your little ones to be extra aware. Maaaaybe consider glancing up from their phones every now and again. At the very least, let’s keep the volume low enough to hear what’s going on around them.

I always feel like back to school is a good time to remind parents about phone/social media safety.

We live in a world where bullying runs rampant. Kids these days don’t even seem to try and be discreet about

it. So make sure your kids know where to go to find help if they find themselves being bullied, or see someone else being bullied.

Let them know they can always come to you, or another trusted adult. Let them know that teachers, guidance counselors, and school administrators can always help too.

Most schools have developed a zero-tolerance policy regarding bullying, but since we live in such a digital age, kids can be walking around with bullies in their ‘pocket’.

Please make sure that you are ‘friends’ with your kids on Facebook and ‘following’ them on Instagram and Twitter. It’s so much easier for kids to be bullied by faceless screen names. It is also important that you have the usernames and passwords to these accounts. It may seem like an invasion

of privacy, but these social media tools aren’t their diaries. Checking up on their online and text messaging activities is an easy way to cut potential bullying — and other less-than-appropriate activities — off at the pass. You are paying for your child’s phone. And they are living under your roof. Therefore you are the keeper of the gate. It only takes one bad decision to cause a world of trouble for your child, so make sure that you are paying attention to what they are doing.

For those heading back to the classroom, I hope you have the best year ever.

Remember, that as you go along your days, it costs nothing to be kind. You never know what someone else is going through, or dealing with, so please be nice.

There’s no reason for going out of your way to be an a--, I mean a jerk or to bully someone else.

I’m not so naïve to think that everyone is going to get along with everyone else, and that’s fine. Just have a heart. And remember — If you can’t be nice, be quiet.

Be safe out there!

Cuba and the LLWS

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Maybe it’s me, but I was surprised and a little astounded at the seemingly underwhelming response to the presence of a Little League team from Cuba playing at the Little League World Series for the first time.

The 8,000 fans on hand enjoyed the tight 1-0 game, a loss to Japan, but the fact that Cuba was playing did not seem to register. There was a time when this would have been regarded as an earth-shattering event, particularly if it had taken part during the worst days of the Cold War.

Cuba has an unrepentantly Marxist regime that was beholden mainly to the old Soviet Union for many years and was a central front in the Cold War struggle between capitalism and communism. To consider this, one need only recall the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 or Cuban troops being utilized to spread Marxism in Africa in places such as Angola and Mozambique or, closer to home, Grenada.

So it was jarring for me, with my bachelor’s degree in political science and my minor in history, to see Cuban Little Leaguers displaying their talents at the Little League World Series. The muted response by the local media is also a manifestation of this underwhelming reaction to the Cubans; perhaps this is good and may show that we have moved on from the terrifying tensions and misunderstandings of those tense Cold War years.

One person who does not have a muted response to the presence of the Cubans is Rosa Salinas, a Cuban-American who is originally from Granma, a town near Bayamo, where the Cuban team hails from. She is presently a dental assistant who lives in Bloomsburg with her boyfriend, Cody Hill.

“I’m so excited to be here and supporting the team from Cuba. It is very interesting to be here and a part of this,” Salinas told “Webb Weekly.” “I’m really hoping the boys from Bayamo do well in the series. I came to this country for a better life last year and am very glad to be in America.”

Lance Van Auken, former Vice Pres-

ident of Little League Baseball and Softball and former Executive Director of the World of Little League Museum, now retired, has an interesting and unique perspective of the Cuba game.

“I think it’s wonderful that a Cuban team has qualified for the Little League Baseball World Series for the first time. It may seem like a small thing to some, but it is truly monumental. This kind of cultural exchange can be a catalyst for better relations in the future.”

The effort to bring a Cuban team to the Little League Baseball World Series started 75 years ago.

“This story began in the early 1950s, when Little League founder Carl Stotz visited Cuba, among other countries, to get leagues started there,” Van Auken said. “So, we are seeing the culmination of years of effort on the part of the U.S. State Department, Cuban diplomatic officials, and the senior staff at Little League. All of them should be commended.”

Cuba was listed as having chartered Little Leagues in 1950s promotional material, news releases that Little League produced back then, and news stories.

“A Cuban team almost reached the Little League Baseball World Series in the mid-1950s, but the team did not end up playing in a qualifying regional tournament,” Van Auken said. “In fact, the World of Little League Museum has an embroidered uniform patch from that era that would have been on the front of the uniforms of the first Cuban team.”

Jack Houston, founder of the local chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research, attended the Cuba-Japan game and had this to say about the event:

‘“At Little League’s Volunteer Stadium, 8,000 fans showed enthusiasm and appreciation for Cuba’s ‘Bayamo Players.’ But the team was all alone. They had no family members, friends, and travelers from their country to embrace them. The Cubans only had themselves for support. Will the inclusion of Cuban baseball fans take place in the future in the Little League World Series?”

Houston, who taught history and religious studies at Fordham University for 36 years, continued, “The Cuba-Japan Game was an historic See CUBA on Page 8

moment. The World Series represents the recent approach of the United States and Cuba through ‘baseball diplomacy’ in restoring the early roots of the 19th-century American game and sharing baseball and tradition between the U.S. and Cuba. That baseball connection was spirit-filled in the first part of the 20th century, then interrupted and blemished by Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution of 1959.”

Houston added, “Baseball was introduced to Cuba in the 1860s and 1870s by Cuban students returning home from United States colleges. Baseball spread quickly throughout the island of Cuba and moved to the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. For many, baseball became a symbol of freedom and equality.”

Houston recalled Esteban Bellan, an early Cuban player who remained in the United States and became the first Latin American player to appear in the major leagues.

“Bellan played baseball for the Fordham Baseball Club while attending Fordham University from 1863-1868. After that, Bellan joined New York

City teams and was a member of the early major league named the National Association of Professional Baseball Players in 1871.

“In our present-day of 2023, we know that Youth Baseball in Cuba is everything and everywhere. Cuban players learn to compete, achieve, and gain success through competition by winning individually and as a team.” Houston hypothesized that the Cuba team’s experience and participation in the 2023 Little League Baseball World Series might expand Cuban youth’s ideas of freedom and equality.

“Cuban players return to their country as ‘students of the game,’ appreciating the association and friendships with the International Little League Community, understanding the traditions of the game started in the United States, and growing up with the idea of Cuba’s family, friends, and baseball fans showing love and support at home and someday freely traveling to the Little League World Series. When that happens, another historical moment will take place at Volunteer Stadium.

Baseball Then and Now

Besides the weather, baseball is the hottest thing about August in North Central PA. Whenever I am traveling, and people ask me where I live, I say, “Near Williamsport, you know, where they have the Little League World Series.” (If I say Jersey Shore, it opens up a very long conversation about where that actually is.) Even after having lived here for well over 30 years, it is still something I get excited about. It is a chance to see some of the best young athletes in the world play a sport without multi-million-dollar salaries or endorsement deals, and it is entirely free to the public.

In some ways, the game of baseball is very different than when I played as a young boy back in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

My first year playing, I was in what was then called Pony League. It would have been equivalent to Minor A ball. The challenge for any pitcher and coach was someone hitting the strike zone. The field was hard-packed dirt with enough stones mixed in to be considered gravel. Sliding shorts didn’t exist, so scraped and brush-burned thighs were

part of the deal. The bases were clipped onto huge metal spikes, and I was honestly more afraid of tripping on a base than I was of missing one when I got a hit. For equipment, we had an old Army duffle bag that would have a handful of community helmets and old bats that we would share. Occasionally, a player would have a new-ish bat that, if we were lucky, we would borrow for our turn at the plate.

The officials rarely inspected our equipment, but I clearly remember having the umpire look over a wooden bat I had brought from home that had a crack almost clean through it and was held together with electrical tape. I’m not sure why I thought it would be OK to use. I just knew I liked the way it felt in my hands. Of course, I was told to get another bat. I think I was around ten years old at the time and couldn’t understand the problem.

Pretty much the only piece of equipment a player was responsible for was their glove. Originally, I began learning how to catch a ball from my older brother, eight years my senior. I would pick up one of several gloves he used as a kid,

and after getting beaned a few times and taking a couple on the chin from a bad hop, I got the hang of things. The problem was that I would have to transfer the ball to my other hand, drop the glove, and then switch back to throw. It took me a minute to realize that a left-handed ball player should actually own a left-handed glove.

After the glove issue was settled, I begged my mom for my own bat. She relented, and we went to K-Mart to pick one out. I ended up with a 31-in. Louisville Slugger, Fred Lynn edition, wooden bat. It was the right length, but the barrel was too narrow, and the handle was too thick. At the time, aluminum bats weren’t what they are now, and composite bats didn’t exist, so there wasn’t much of an advantage regarding bat type. *By the way, Fred Lynn was a lefty center fielder for the Red Sox, Angels, and other major league teams, though I didn’t know that at the time. I just liked the look of the bat.

Our coaches changed every year and were determined largely by which dad drew the short straw. Our goal each season was to win more games than we lost, and we more closely resembled the Bad News Bears than any of the teams playing in Williamsport this month.

Truthfully, none of us had ever heard

of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, let alone had any hope of making it to the Little League World Series. What we did know was the sound of the ball coming off of the bat and the thrill of stealing home. The hot, humid summer days and the way the polyester jerseys itched. And, if they were lucky enough, no one who has ever played can forget the feeling of being the hero of the game after scoring the winning run.

These days, things are a bit different, to say the least. A good bat can cost as much as $400, and it isn’t unusual to see a 12-year-old decked out in $1,000 worth of gear. Top players have private hitting coaches, speed coaches, personal trainers, publicists, and personal assistants. Just kidding about the publicists and personal assistants, I think. They can throw and hit like big leaguers and, for some, achieve the same level of fame or greater, if only for a brief moment.

What hasn’t changed is that baseball at this level is still relatively pure. The kids aren’t making millions of dollars in salaries and endorsements. They are playing for the thrill of a big hit and a stolen base. For the challenge of competition and sport. They are playing for friendships that last a lifetime. And above all else, they are playing for the love of the game.

UPMC Pediatrician: Get Back to School Healthy

Nancy Grauso-Eby, D.O. UPMC Primary Care

August can be a hectic and stressful, yet exciting time of year for children and parents. You’re rushing around to make sure they have new school supplies, meeting new teachers, and adopting and adjusting to a new schedule. With so much “new” going on, let’s help make sure your children are happy and healthy for the upcoming school year.

Importance of Check-Ups

Many parents may be tempted to skip this visit if they think their children seem healthy, however, these annual physicals are essential. Some of the reasons these annual appointments are so important are:

– Vaccinations – Annual visits for your children are important for ensuring that all their vaccinations are up to date. This is also your opportunity as a parent to ask questions or express any concerns you may have regarding their immunizations.

– Development Assessment – During this time, your doctor can assess the development and growth of your child by taking measurements, such as their height and weight, to establish if they are following a normal growth curve. If anything appears to be abnormal, a plan will be established for helping your child get back on track.

– Vital Signs – During their visit, vital signs

such as blood pressure, pulse, and temperature will be taken. These vital signs can help to detect any underlying health conditions early and before they may become a more serious issue.

– Physical Exam – Your doctor will also physically examine your child, checking their ears, throat, heart, lungs, skin, and eyes to determine if everything looks okay or if there are any findings that may be concerning and require additional testing and/ or treatment. If your child plays sports, these exams should be scheduled before every season.

– Discussion – For many parents, this is the only visit that they will have annually with their child’s physician and it’s the perfect time to come prepared with questions or concerns.

– Forms – Many schools require sports forms to be completed by a healthcare provider, or physical forms, depending on the grade they are in as well.

Wash Those Hands

With hundreds and even sometimes thousands of children in the same building, sickness is bound to spread. But teaching your child proper hygiene can help stop the spread of illness.

Hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is one of the most important ways to prevent the spread of germs in the classroom and elsewhere. When kids

come into contact with germs, they can easily spread them—especially if they rub their eyes or scratch their nose. Then it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the family may become sick as well. Frequent hand washing can help slow the spread of germs.

Teach kids how to wash their hands properly—and when to do it (after blowing their nose, using the bathroom, and before eating). This helps reduce their risk of getting sick, and in turn, from infecting others. Be sure to assist young children with washing their hands.

When hand washing is not possible, hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol is the next best way to kill germs that cause COVID-19 and other illnesses, according to the CDC.

Additional Health Tips

As children prepare to get back into the school routine, it is important that they are eating the right foods to fuel their day. Healthy eating in childhood and adolescence is important for proper growth, development, and prevention of various health conditions. A healthy breakfast with whole grains (whole-wheat bagels, oatmeal, whole-grain cereals, etc.) and proteins (eggs, meat) is the best way for children to start the day and give their body the fuel it needs to sustain energy throughout the morning. Studies suggest that eating breakfast is associated with improved memory, better test grades, reduced absenteeism, and improved mood and behavior.

Whether your children eat a school-provided lunch or bring lunch to school, focus on a nutrient dense meal that will sustain them through the end of school day. To create a healthy lunch, include one of each food group: protein, whole-grain, fruit, vegetable, and dairy. Avoid juices as they are too concentrated in sugars, as well as sugar sweetened beverages, desserts, and sugar foods. Also, remind them to drink plenty of water.

There is no proven way to “boost” the immune system, but it is important to keep kids’ bodies healthy so their immune systems can work properly. Getting enough sleep, maintaining a healthy diet, managing stress, exercising, making time to laugh, and emphasizing hand washing can help reduce your child’s risk of getting colds, flu, and other infections.

One of the best ways to prevent disease is through vaccination. There is growing interest among parents in giving kids supplements like elderberry, or extra doses of vitamins such as vitamin C, but you should always consult with your child’s doctor before giving them supplements of any kind.

If any health problems arise throughout the school year, do not hesitate to contact your child’s pediatrician.

Immense Crowd Witnesses Fireworks Display at Park

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Fully 30,000 gathered at Memorial Field last evening to enjoy the fireworks and band concert which were features on the program incidental to the closing of the annual playground season. The estimate was made by Frank Heller, superintendent of the park and was corroborated by Councilman George, superintendent of parks and public property, who said he had never seen anything like it before.

Every available foot of parking space was used, and hundreds of motor cars were unable even to gain admission to the park.

Thousands stood for an hour or more in front of the new band pavilion and enjoyed a concert given by the Repasz Band, led by John Hazel. By 10 o’clock the crowd had reached such proportions that several of the

roadways in the park had to be roped off so the people could find a suitable to stand and enjoy the display. The large field surrounding the stand where the fireworks were to be set off was a mass of people. Even across the road and into the woods where picnics are held it was the same story of standing room only. Never in the history of the park was there ever such a large and good-natured crowd as there was last evening. the Promptly at 10 o’clock a large, 12inch bomb exploded high in the air. This was the signal to the large crowd present that an elaborate pyrotechnic exhibition was ready to be set off. The features of the display were, “Niagara Falls” and the “American Eagle” pieces. These were followed by displays of roman candles, three, four and sixinch bombs, parachutes and spinning wheels. The bombs sent up into the air could be heard plainly throughout the western part of the city.

Simple Recipes

As summer is slowly coming to an end, we take a deep breath for what is about to come. As the leaves start to change, so will most of our lives. Kids go back to school, after-school activities like football and dance are back, and then the holidays quickly approach after that.

You all know how much I love and adore fall. It’s been my favorite since I can remember. I always hate to have my kids leave and go back to school, but I look forward to some kind of schedule to our lives again.

As the summer turns into fall, dance will start. Homework will be in full swing. Kidz Club will be back weekly. My youngest will start a brand-new school, and my oldest will have his last year in middle school. It doesn’t seem possible. Time is a thief. Weeknights around here can be pretty chaotic, but I make sure we sit down to a meal most weeknights.

I look forward to the end of the day when we can all be together and talk about our day.

On Wednesday nights, my kids go to youth group and Kidz Club. It’s the one night we all aren’t together. But the rest of the week, I make sure we all spend time together around the table. Wednesday gives me a chance to get dinner with my girlfriends and spend time with them, and my husband enjoys the same. We all do our own thing and catch up with people we don’t get to see as often. Some Wednesdays, Chris and I will even grab dinner together or get takeout and binge-watch our favorite show. It just depends on our schedules and what’s planned.

In the winter, we love to do game nights. T-R-O-U-B-L-E is our favorite. When it’s dark and cold, we love busting out our family favorite game next to the cozy fireplace and see who can win three in a row after dinner. These are the things I miss in

the summer. It always seems that in the summer, we are just GO, GO, GO days, nights, and weekends.

In the next few weeks, I will give you very simple recipes with few ingredients to prepare you for the next few months. I think it is so important to sit down as a family and eat dinner together. Ask your kids about their school days. Ask your spouse or partner about their day. Just sit down for good food and conversation. Like I said, time is a thief. We need to make the most out of each day. I know days get busy, and it’s hard to cook a meal or a special dessert for a game night, but cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. Everything does NOT need to be from scratch. It’s about who you are with, and as long as it tastes good, that’s all that matters!

So, grab your favorite board game, get your family, and make a pan of these. They will think you went all out.

Sheet Pizza Cookie

Ingredients:

• 2 Pillsbury Ready to Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

• 1 can of Pillsbury Funfetti Icing

Directions:

I used a small cookie sheet and laid all 24 cookies out on the sheet. I pressed down firmly until they were all touching together. I left no holes while making a large square. Baked for 20-25 minutes. I like my cookies a little undercooked so they are nice and soft.

Let cool, then top with icing and sprinkles.

I made these for the river a few times and they were GONE!

Everyone raved over them. It was so delicious and easy. Enjoy!

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

Shower Cocktailing

Before you even ask, no! I’m not talking about having a drink in the shower, even though I’ve been known to enjoy a shower beer after a day at the beach. For this article, shower cocktailing refers to the trend that incorporates multiple body products/steps in one bathing session. The idea being to amp up your basic daily ritual by implementing a concern-specific regimen to improve the look and feel of your skin from the neck down. Different skin issues require special attention, and choosing the right product formula is only half the equation. Water temperature and the length of your shower also influence skin hydration, cleanliness, texture, and even acne and eczema. Hot showers can dry out the skin, while too-cool water may not soften the skin effectively to rinse away dirt, oil, and debris. So, here’s a breakdown of how to create a skin-specific recipe for your shower cocktail, whether shaken or stirred.

Bernadette Ulsamer

For body breakouts, which are more frequent in the summer, it’s important to shower with effective anti-acne body washes that contain salicylic acid,

benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil, or retinol. Misumi’s Blemish Clear body wash also contains glycolic acid and lactic acid to create a powerful treatment that deeply exfoliates the skin. Combine your body wash with a sulfur-based detox or clay mask, like Cetaphil’s DermaControl Purifying Clay Mask, which is helpful for banishing breakouts, especially when the skin gets sweaty. Massage this onto areas with pimples, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse off. Another ingredient to a body breakout shower cocktail is timing. So often, residue from shampoo and conditioner can contribute to breakouts on the neck, chest, back, and shoulders. Be sure to wash head-to-toe, start with hair, then face, then body, to avoid any potential irritation from hair and face products. Next up, dry skin. The common denominator that causes dry skin is insufficient oils. Taking excessively long or hot showers and harsh soaps or cleansers can strip away your skin’s natural oil, leading to dryness and even eczema flare-ups. So rather than using

See OUTFITS on Page 28

OUTFITS

bar soaps, try fragrance-free, hydrating cleansers to help reinstate moisture, like CeraVe’s Hydrating body wash, which the whole family can use. Or, if you want to get a bit fancy, try Kiehl’s Bath and Shower Liquid Body Cleanser in “Grapefruit .”Whichever product you choose, make sure it contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and shea butter, which help combat dryness. You can then layer a body conditioner onto wet skin in the shower. Check out Kiwi Botanicals’ Soothing Body Conditioner, available at Walmart. Once out of the shower, lock in moisture while the skin is still damp with a lotion rich in ceramides, petrolatum, or glycerin. Again, keep the shower short and lukewarm.

Eczematous skin also falls under the dry skin category. My oldest child suffers from eczema, and we’ve been exploring various body washes as recommended by a pediatric dermatologist. The best we’ve found is Eucerin Baby Eczema Relief Cream & Body Wash while reassuring her that she is NOT a baby herself. The adult Eucerin Eczema washes, like the baby version, are super-hydrating and enriched with colloidal oatmeal, which is a key ingredient in any eczema-branded body wash.

Combine this with scent-free shampoo and conditioner and wash head-to-toe to help prevent flare-ups.

Another way to avoid irritation on eczema-prone skin is to wash by hand. Avoid loofahs, washcloths, or sponges that could scrape or break the skin barrier. Once you’re out of the shower, have your follow-up creams or lotions ready in the bathroom to apply as soon as possible. Think of them as the garnish to your shower cocktail, olive, or twist. For bumpy skin, aka those annoying little goosebump-like bumps on the legs and the backs of the arms, are what dermatologists diagnose as keratosis pilaris, which is technically a harmless skin condition but can feel rough to the touch and can be unsightly. Body washes with keratolytic agents, like alpha hydroxy acids and beta-hydroxy acids, help break apart the build-up of keratin that clogs the hair follicles, creating bumps. Aveeno’s Skin Relief Body Wash is also enriched with a triple oat blend to soothe and nourish skin while working to maintain your natural moisture barrier.

After using cleanser on bumpy areas, reach for a traditional scrub — nothing too abrasive — since cleanser alone will only do so much. Then, apply to

damp skin an exfoliating moisturizer, like First Aid Beauty’s KP Smoothing body lotion, which contains keratolytic ingredients plus colloidal oatmeal and ceramides for added moisture. Body lotions with retinol can also help speed up cell turnover to tame the look of bumps.

Lastly, dull skin. First, lift away dead skin cells with a dry brush over the body before getting into the shower. This will rev up the blood flow to regenerate the skin. Once in the shower, use an exfoliator rich in alpha hydroxy acids, like Frank Body’s Glycolic Body Scrub, which also boasts pumice, witch hazel, and niacinamide to help reduce

redness. For post-shower body care, apply a moisturizer that contains gentle exfoliants, such as Olay’s Nourishing & Hydrating body lotion.

Shower cocktailing is a fun approach to address serious to semi-serious skin problems in the shower. How we wash our skin is a big factor in its appearance, texture, and health. While a rigorous skin regime with pre and post-bathing steps may seem like overkill, a shower cocktail, like actual cocktails, is not meant for every day. Shower cocktailing is similar to a weekly happy hour, reserved after a hard work week or a weekend indulgence when time permits. Cheers to healthy skin!

The World of Weird Words

By Joseph W. Smith III

Last week’s “Weird Words” marked installment No. 12; so I took those two digits as a theme and picked out several goodies from pages 1 and 2 of my ever-growing oddball vocabulary list. But I got only halfway through that selection before running out of space. Here is the other baker’s dozen — a fitting 13 for this follow-up edition: Gumboil (GUM-boil, noun) – An abscess in the gum. Admittedly, this is not a super-weird word — unless, like Bertie Wooster in the peerless P.G. Wodehouse books, you use it as an epithet for describing people you don’t like.

Muzzy (MUZZ-ee, adjective) –Confused, muddled; dull, unclear. Possibly this is an example of the linguistic phenomenon called a “blend” (these include words like “smog” and “brunch” — or, a truly great one: “cremains”). Here we may be seeing pieces of “muddled” and “fuzzy” blended together. But in any case, watch for a future Weird Words devoted entirely

to blends! (And look up “cremains” if you can’t guess what that is.…)

Quincunx (KWING-kunks, noun) – A group of five objects arranged in a rectangular pattern, with one in each corner and one in the middle — like the pips on the five in a deck of cards.

Rodomontade (rah-duh-mon-TADE, noun) – A bragging or boastful speech; rant; also a verb. From the blustering King Rodomonte in a 15th-century Italian epic, it entered English as “rodomont” (for “braggart”) and gradually acquired the suffix. The shorter noun is no longer used.

Rumbustious (rum-BUSS-chuss, adjective) – Rambunctious, unruly, boisterous. Chiefly British, it’s probably a variant of “robustious” — which means the same thing.

Scuppernong (SKUP-ur-nong, noun) – A type of white grape; or its vine; or a wine made from this. Named for a North Carolina river, the word first came to my attention in To Kill a Mockingbird, where Scout and company are allowed to eat these from the garden of their friendly

neighbor Miss Maudie — as long as they don’t jump on the arbor!

Skew-whiff (SKYOO-wiff, adjective or adverb) – Not straight; askew; off-kilter. Again chiefly British, it can be used literally (of a picture-frame, for instance) or figuratively: “Our schedule went all skew-whiff !”

Tatterdemalion (tat-ur-duhMAIL-yun, noun) – Raggedly dressed person; ragamuffin. Also an adjective meaning shabby or dilapidated.

Tchotchke (CHOTCH-kuh, noun)

– When I first saw this years ago, I

could scarcely believe it was actually a word — though the meaning is fairly simple: an inexpensive souvenir, ornament or trinket. (“He always collects these cheesy tchotchkes on every vacation!”) It’s originally Yiddish — a language that has donated countless terrific terms to everyday conversation; I guess that’s a future separate column too!

Whigmaleerie (wig-muh-LEER-ee, noun) – A fanciful notion, whim or caprice. Also a whimsical ornament, trinket or contrivance; for synonyms, the somewhat idiosyncratic Collins

Dictionary has “gewgaw” — another a great word.

Wonky (WONG-kee, adjective) –Shaky or unsteady; unreliable; not quite right, a little bit “off.”

Yoicks (YOIKS, interjection) –Only our second interjection in these 13 columns (the first was “tilly-vally” back in June), this is principally used in fox-hunting, as a cry to urge on the hounds. It can also be a general expression of high spirits or encouragement. One older dictionary lists as a synonym “huic” — which would actually be somewhat close to this in

pronunciation.

zetetic (ze-TET-ik, adjective) –Proceeding by inquiry or investigation; for instance, “a zetetic method.” Dictionary.com also says this describes belief in a flat earth, but I did not find that attested elsewhere.

With this 13th column, it might’ve been nice to do something on phobias — particularly the awkwardly named “triskaidekaphobia.” But perhaps that can wait till October, which actually has a Friday the 13th.

Just something to look forward to, right?

en brown. Remove from heat and transfer to heatproof bowl. Place in refrigerator until solidified, about 45 minutes.

In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

Once butter has solidified, remove from refrigerator. In bowl of electric stand mixer, using paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar at medium speed 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Scrape sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed, add flour mixture and beat to combine. Add pecans and chocolate chips; mix at low speed until combined. Place dough in refrigerator and rest 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using 2-ounce ice cream scoop, portion out dough on prepared baking sheets, spacing about 3 inches apart. Gently flatten dough balls using palm.

Bake 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets 10 minutes then transfer to wire rack. Serve warm.

A Traditional Breakfast with a Twist

The same bowl of cereal can get boring after eating it for breakfast day in and day out. You may find yourself looking for something new and exciting to start school day mornings on the right foot.

Kids can be picky when it comes to breakfast foods, but this recipe for Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups is a quick and easy way to fill their bellies with a taste of several flavors they may already love. A sizzling sausage link wrapped with French toast, it combines a fa-

vorite breakfast protein and traditional deliciousness in one roll.

Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups

Servings: 12

Ingredients:

• 12 sausage links

• 2 eggs

• 2/3 cup milk

• 3 teaspoons almond extract

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 6 bread slices, crust removed, cut in half

• 3 tablespoons butter

• syrup

Directions:

In skillet, cook sausage links according to package directions. Set aside.

In medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, almond extract and cinnamon.

Dip bread slice in egg mixture. Wrap bread slice around cooked sausage link, pressing seam to keep from unrolling. Repeat with remaining bread slices and sausage links.

In large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Place roll-ups in skillet, seam-sides down, and cook until all sides are browned, approximately 10 minutes. Drizzle with syrup. (Family Features)

The rigors of academia demand every student’s utmost devotion. For some, the challenges in the classroom are accompanied by the thrill of competition on the playing fields. Multi-tasking may be most associated with modern professionals, but many might have learned how to balance multiple responsibilities at once during their days as student-athletes.

Student-athletes typically have a lot on their plates. Managing multiple priorities at once can overwhelm anyone, especially young student-athletes without much experience handling such a juggling act. As a new school year begins, student-athletes can consider these strategies as they try to do their best in the classroom and on the competitive playing fields.

Take steps to avoid burnout. Burnout can affect student-athletes in the classroom and on the field. Work with parents, coaches and school staff, including a nutritionist if one works for the school’s athletic department, to devise a meal plan that will help to energize the body and reduce injury risk. In addition, follow a consistent sleep schedule that helps to overcome mental and physical fatigue.

According to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 should sleep eight to 10 hours each night.

Avoid distractions. Student-athletes who are finding it hard to get at least eight hours of sleep each night might be too distracted during the day to get everything done so they can go to bed at a reasonable hour. Smartphones ensure distractions are never too far away, but student-athletes can take a proactive approach and turn off app notifications once a new school year and season begins. In addition, pick a quiet homework/ study room in the house without distractions like a television or the hum of outside noise.

Set academic and athletic goals. Coaches typically establish goals for players before the season and then again during end-of-season exit interviews. Such goals can help athletes maintain their motivation, and a similar strategy can be employed in the classroom. Parents and student-athletes can meet with teachers to establish study goals to keep them striving toward academic achievement. Clearly defined goals can improve student-athletes’ focus, and that can make it easier to balance their responsibilities.

Student-athletes face a balancing act once a new school year or season begins. Various strategies can help young people successfully juggle their academic and athletic obligations.

County Hall Corner: Bridges Bundled, Not Bungled

By Larry Stout

Amajor event in Pennsylvania happened last year that missed my attention. The Fern Hollow Bridge (also known as the Forbes Avenue Bridge) in Pittsburgh’s East End collapsed on January 28, 2022, injuring some ten individuals. President Biden was an eyewitness to this event. He commented on this last week as he stopped in Milwaukee on his recent travels around the United States touting his economic policies.

“A lot of you were with me when I was in Pittsburgh,” Biden remarked to a group at a wind turbine manufacturer in Milwaukee. “Pittsburgh is a city of bridges – more bridges in Pittsburgh than any other city in America. I watched that bridge collapse; I got there and saw it collapse with over 200 feet off the ground going over a valley. It collapsed.”

President Biden got the first part of his story correct; it is true that Pittsburgh’s 446 bridges are the most of any city in the country. However, he is also a sincere believer in the concept of never letting the truth get in the way of a good story, as he actually did not quite ‘see’ the Fern Hollow Bridge when it was collapsing as much as ‘seeing’ the collapsed bridge itself later that day when it happened.

We can leave alone the lack of accuracy on the details from our President to emphasize that bridges are an important and even vital element to our infrastructure. Roads, bridges, government buildings, and such do not capture the public’s attention but are huge money pits for municipal governments to maintain nevertheless.

The problem, however, is to be able to prevent such things as what happened at Fern Hollow requires annual inspections and addressing any flaws that are recognized. Even maintaining bridges is a difficult and expensive task. According to a recent report from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, nearly 3,200 bridges in Pennsylvania are currently considered to be in “poor condition.” The good news is that Pennsyl-

vania’s politicians have recognized this problem and have been working hard on it.

In 2015, Pennsylvania led the nation with 22 percent of the bridges considered deficient. In 2017, it was 20 percent and presently is around 14 percent. This is still a startling figure, but the reason it is going down is because of Act 89 of 2013. This act, also known as the Transportation Bill, dedicated monies for bridge repairs but also created the possibility at the county level to increase car registration by an extra five dollars that would be earmarked specifically for transportation infrastructure.

In the fall of 2015, Mark Muroski, the county’s Transportation Planner at the time, pitched to the county commissioners a plan devised to offer the local municipalities an opportunity to have their deficient bridges repaired with a 5% of cost buy-in, with the remaining 95% coming from the Act 89 money. Following this would be the process of securing a bond in which the income stream from the county vehicle fee would cover the payments.

There were 40 structurally deficient bridges in the county in nineteen different municipalities, and the $7 million that could be leveraged would only cover 17 of the bridges. But 17 bridges were a good start, especially given these were the ones in the worst shape. This work is now reaching completion and was done so quickly because the bridge repairs were

bundled to lower costs and expedite the work involved.

It is hard for us citizens to appreciate this feat, but those who face the same problems were very impressed. In fact, it was so impressive that at the recent County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) Annual Conference, the Lycoming County Commissioners were awarded the 2023 Road and Bridge Safety Award for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The commissioners noted that a number of their fellow commissioners from around the state were amazed that so much was done in such a short time. And further, Lycoming County is the only county in the state that uses county funds to help repair municipally owned bridges. There were a number of important players, but one of the heroes who truly deserves recognition in all this is a young man named Austin Daly, who works in the Planning Department. He had big shoes to fill when Mark Muroski retired, and yet he has risen to the challenge, as was demonstrated in his report given at the Thursday, August 10th meeting on the status of the bridge bundling project. Despite knowing little to nothing about bridges when he started, Austin has since become quite an expert on bridge repair and will be a valuable asset in years ahead. And we will need this kind of expertise to keep moving forward on a serious infrastructure concern. Lycoming County government keeps coming up with innovative ideas, and we are all the better for it.

Simple Strategies to Protect Kids’ Vision Over the Long Haul

Parents recognize there’s no aspect of kids’ health that can be taken for granted. Common colds can appear overnight, and injuries on the playground can occur in the blink of an eye. Such issues may be hard to see coming, but the risk for colds, playground injuries and other health-related conditions, including childhood vision problems, can be mitigated with various preventive measures.

Vision issues that affect children can lead to a host of unwanted outcomes, including physical injuries and decreased academic performance. Though kids may ultimately need vision problems to be corrected with the help of an eye doctor, the following are some steps parents can take to protect their children’s vision over the long haul.

• Schedule routine eye exams. The

REAL ESTATE & CONTENTS PUBLIC AUCTION

American Academy of Ophthalmology notes that children’s vision can be screened by various medical professionals, including eye doctors but also pediatricians, family physicians or other properly trained health care providers. The AAO recommends children at all age levels receive eye examinations. Newborns will need eye exams so doctors can check for various indicators of eye health, while a second eye exam conducted during a well visit before the child’s first birthday can confirm healthy eye alignment and movement. Exam intervals can be discussed with a physician as children age, but it’s important that kids receive routine eye exams to confirm their vision is healthy and to identify any issues that could be compromising their vision.

writing and drawing also can protect kids’ vision.

• Squeeze in time outdoors. Access and exposure to nature pays a host of health-related dividends, including some linked to eye health. The CDC notes that going outdoors affords kids’ eyes the opportunity to look at distant objects, which can provide a respite from the eye strain and fatigue that can develop when looking at screens or books.

• Feed children a healthy diet. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, which have the vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain healthy vision.

• Monitor screen time. The CDC notes that excessive screen time can exacerbate uncorrected vision problems. Daily screen time limits can help protect kids’ vision, and parents should ensure kids take frequent breaks when using digital devices. Frequent breaks from additional activities like reading,

• Provide protective eyewear, including sunglasses. Exposure to UV rays from the sun can harm children’s eyes, so kids should wear sunglasses with 100 percent UV protection when spending time outside. The CDC also urges children to wear protective eyewear when engaging in activities such as sports that can increase their risk for eye injury and vision loss.

Taking steps to protect long-term vision is a vital component of childhood preventive health care.

Preparing Your Children for Kindergarten

Being ready for kindergarten is about far more than writing names and reciting the ABCs. It is also about building a foundation for deeper conceptual thinking, curiosity, creativity and social and emotional skills that can help children during their early school days and also in life.

For parents, this transition can be nerve-wracking and raise questions about how to best prepare their children for the next step in their educational journeys.

Dr. Lauren Starnes, senior vice president and chief academic officer at The Goddard School, and Lee Scott, chairperson of The Goddard School’s Educational Advisory Board, recommend helping children prepare for kindergarten through: Building Strong Routines and Foundations for Learning:

1. Language and literacy: Practice writing by making place cards for the dinner table. For younger children, it can be the first letter of each person’s name or fun scribbles on the card. Early scribbles are part of developing writing skills.

2. Mathematics: Count while you work. Ask your children to put away toys. As they work, you can count the toys together.

3. Science: Make yard cleanup fun. As

you clean the yard, talk about the leaves and why they turn colors and fall to the ground. Pile them up and jump in.

4. Executive function: Incorporate your children in planning for the family. Help your children stay organized with a daily or weekly chart. Have your children make the chart with you. For younger children, you can use drawings or pictures instead of words.

5. Creative expression: Sing and dance while you work. Make up songs or repeat favorites as your children go through a few basic chores such as putting clothes away.

6. Social-emotional development: Build a sense of responsibility and caring for others with real or pretend pets. Take the dog for a walk, feed the cat or water the pet rock. Taking care of a pet can help children develop a sense of responsibility and empathy for others.

7. Healthy development and well-being: Daily routines help your children practice fine motor skills while doing a few chores, such as setting a table, helping you cook by mixing or stirring, putting their clothes on or brushing their teeth. Incorporating Playful Experiences:

1. Puzzles: Solving puzzles supports the development of skills such as concentration, self-regulation, critical thinking and spatial recognition.

2. Board games: Playing games provides a number of benefits for children, including supporting memory and critical thinking, helping them learn to take turns and count, and developing early language skills.

3. Blocks: Block building supports creativity, cognitive flexibility, planning and organization. Take some time to build with blocks using different shapes and colors.

4. Clay: Children need to develop fine motor skills beyond using devices. -Few things are better for developing fine motor skills than modeling clay. Learning to sculpt with clay also builds creativity, artistic expression and strategic thinking.

5. Recycled materials: Inspire creativity by finding things around the house to build with, such as cardboard, paper, paper towel rolls and plastic bottles. (Family Features & The Goddard School, photo courtesy of Getty Images)

The Solid Rock Principle of Light

Afew weeks ago, I wrote an article titled The Solid Rock Principle of Love. It was inspired by Jesus’ conclusion to His soaring Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 7:24-25, Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall

because it had its foundation on the rock.

Love for God and love for humanity is the supreme solid-rock principle upon which we can build our lives. Truly, if we could get love right, we would need no other law to guide us. But since we struggle with love, Jesus gave us additional principles to help us get it right.

The Scriptures make it clear that God is love — and God is light. This tells us something important about love. It lets us know that love thrives out in the

open, where there is no darkness, no shadows, and no hiding.

John described God this way in I John 1:5-7, This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him, there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

If we’re going to love God and each other, then we must understand the solid rock principle of light. Light addresses authenticity. It explores the question, “What am I hiding?” Friends, we cannot seek darkness and shadows while claiming to live in love. Love flourishes in the light.

The Scriptures are full of examples of people who sought out darkness and shadows. Adam and Eve hid after they sinned. Genesis 3:8-10. King David lied and, schemed, and murdered to hide

his sin with Bathsheba. II Samuel 11-12. Joseph’s brothers smeared blood on his colorful coat to hide their sin from their father, Jacob. Genesis 37:18-25.

In each example, love was not the guiding principle. Had Adam and Eve truly loved God and each other, they never would have eaten of the forbidden fruit. Had David truly loved Uriah and Bathsheba, his spectacular fall from grace never would have happened. Joseph’s brothers had they truly loved him and their father — well, you get the point. When love fails, darkness creeps in, and things get worse. Much worse.

We’re still doing it today. We erase our internet search histories. We darken windows so no one can see what we’re doing. We lock doors and cabinets to keep our stash hidden. We safeguard our passwords so no one can see the shadowy places we’ve been going on our devices. It’s all darkness.

We all need to hear this loud and clear — WE HIDE THINGS IN THE DARK BECAUSE WE AREN’T LOVING SOMEONE THE WAY WE SHOULD. Husband, whatever you’re hiding, reveals your lack of love for your wife. Don’t gloss over it or make it seem like it’s no big deal. Ask yourself this question, “If my wife found out about this,

WHERE LACK OF QUALITY IS NOT AN OPTION

would she feel loved or betrayed?” Wife, you can ask yourself the same question. When love fails, darkness wins, and lives are destroyed. It’s as simple as that. The solid rock principle of light applies to every kind of relationship — parent, spouse, child, sibling, friend, neighbor, co-worker — it doesn’t matter. Simply ask this question, “If they found out about what I’ve been doing, would they feel loved or betrayed?” If your answer is betrayed, then you are living in darkness — and someone is going to get hurt.

Love doesn’t operate in shadows and darkness. If you’re hiding stuff, then it’s time to engage the disciplines of light. Now. Right now. If you wait, mark my words; it will be too late.

The Disciplines of Light

1. Accountability. Give people access to your life — all of it. Let them examine it. Stop hiding things and, locking doors, and going out after everyone else has gone to bed. Be honest enough to admit that everything you’re hiding is destructive to someone you claim to love. As Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

So, get out into the light. Give the people you say you love the right to access and examine every aspect of your life.

Invite their involvement in everything you do. If you want them to know how much you love them, then share all of your life with them. It will protect you — and them. That’s love.

2. Confession. We all make mistakes, so stop acting like you’re perfect. Nothing drives all of us crazier than Christians who act like they never sin. You are full of bleep, and you know it. Sorry for the expletive, but sometimes there’s only one word that makes a point.

Hypocrisy and duplicity are the dark hallmarks of the unconfessed life. You’re a fake, and you know it. Frankly, everyone else knows it too — or they’ll know it soon. Light always wins, so sooner or later, you will be found out. Friend, God loves you too much to let you get away with your duplicity.

Confession is all about being authentic. No pretense or façade. It’s hard, but being genuine always produces a far better outcome. Listen, darkness destroys the ones we claim to love. Before it happens, let the light of confession shine.

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

I John 1:8-9.

How Parents Can Pick the Right Backpack

Students need many different supplies to help them move to the head of the class. Teachers frequently post lists online before school begins or advise students in the early days of the new year. Therefore, parents may want to wait to go back-to-school shopping until they learn what’s needed. There is one piece of gear, however, that students will definitely need: a backpack. Backpacks have been helping students transport books and other materials to and from school for decades. Backpacks are not a new invention, and they actually predate school. Ötzi, a man whose mummified remains have been traced to the Copper Age, carried an animal fur

• Look for even, secure stitching that will not come undone easily. Inexpensive backpacks may last a few weeks, but a more durable backpack can last the school year and beyond.

lated, so the backpack will not get very hot when the child is using it.

• Karena Wu, a physical therapist and owner of ActiveCare Physical Therapy in New York, encourages parents to choose backpacks with tapered straps that will conform better to their children’s bodies. A waist strap can help keep the backpack centered on the child’s torso to help disperse the load.

• If the school allows it, a rolling bag is a great way to prevent strain on the back. Verywell Family says children should carry no more than 15 percent of their bodyweight in the backpack. That means a 60-pound child shouldn’t carry more than 9 pounds.

• Select a backpack that is sized accordingly to the child. It may be tempting to buy the largest one around, but that can be cumbersome and the student may overload it.

• Many students now use laptops or tablets for school. It is a good idea to buy a backpack that has a padded pocket for tech devices to protect them during transport. Although it may not seem trendy to do so, backpacks should always be worn with all straps in place to distribute weight evenly; otherwise, strain may be placed on one shoulder or side of the body. This, in addition to choosing the right backpack, can keep students comfortable and safe.

ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20

Horoscopes

It is time to recharge your batteries this week, Aries. It may be challenging to slow down, but that is just what you need to do or you are going to run out of steam on your next project.

TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21

Early on this week you may start out in a bit of a funk, Taurus. That all will change with some words from a friend that will help your mood bounce in the other direction.

GEMINI – May 22–Jun 21

Gemini, the side of your brain responsible for pragmatism has been working over-

time. You are ready to solve any problems and find answers to most questions.

CANCER – Jun 22–Jul 22

Cooperation from others has been hard to come by lately, Cancer. That could lead to some conflicts along the way. Collectively you will have to find some middle ground.

LEO – Jul 23–Aug 23

You could be focused on things in the past this week, Leo. This could start you on a trek to track down mementos in a home or to visit an antiques shop to make some purchases.

VIRGO – Aug 24–Sept 22

Virgo, there is still a lot to learn, but you

have the time right now to pay attention to everyone around you to glean what you can. Never stop gathering information.

LIBRA – Sept 23–Oct 23

Even if others make suggestions, use your own judgement regarding how to spend time this week, Libra. You may want to eschew all responsibilities for something fun.

SCORPIO – Oct 24–Nov 22

Seek new places for any sort of inspiration, Scorpio. You never know what you may uncover unless you visit new places instead of your old haunts. Start exploring this week.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23–Dec 21

Some outside energy has muted your normally boisterous personality, Sagittarius. You may want to skip out on social scenes and spend some time at home in the com-

ing days.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22–Jan 20

Strong opinions rule the day, so convincing others could be especially difficult in the days ahead. Wait some time and they try again, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21–Feb 18

Aquarius, there will be some measure of public speaking or performance in your near future, and it is likely giving you a bit nervous. No one will judge you, so try to lighten up.

PISCES – Feb 19–Mar 20

Pisces, you could encounter more oddballs than normal in your daily routines. From customers making scenes to quirky coworkers, you might need to be patient and open-minded.

“Eight Bears: Mythic Past and Imperiled Future” by Gloria

Dickie c.2023, W.W. Norton $30.00

250 pages

Pick Your Term

Throughout most of your childhood, he was rarely more than three feet away.

He never said much, even when you hugged him too hard or let him fall to the floor. He kept your secrets but not all his fur; and he kept watch, even after he lost one eye. Your childhood teddy was an important part of your life but as you’ll see in “Eight Bears” by Gloria Dickie, his forebears are quite another story.

When she first moved to Boulder, Colorado, Gloria Dickie was charmed. she was once “a child obsessed with wild creatures,” and “bears were frequent visitors” to her new hometown. But over time, the romance waned. Having bears everywhere was not good for Boulderites or for bears.

That’s the story around the country: we don’t know how to live alongside bears and “so-called ‘problem’ bears” often die because they’ve become habituated nuisances. Bears are stronger than they look and can ruin a car in minutes. They can annihilate a farmer’s herd or flock. Some bear species — Dickie says that a mere eight of them survive on the planet today — are downright Papa-Bear-grumpy and will kill a human in

a heartbeat.

And so she went searching for bears.

Ursas, says Dickie, were once thought to be our closest relative, perhaps because they look very human when standing. Humans haven’t treated them very well through the centuries, though, at least not until Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot one in 1902 and people started appreciating bears a little more.

Still, today’s bears struggle.

In South America, Dickie found that cli-

mate change is hurting the shy, gentle spectacled bear that lives in the cloud forest of Peru. In India, she discovered a small bear with big attitude, one that kills dozens of humans annually and maims even more. She learned the politics of pandas and she tried to visit a bear bile farm in Vietnam. She learned about super-smart black bears, the management of grizzlies, and a North American bear species that can hold an entire town hostage...

So, it turns out that Goldilocks was correct: “Eight Bears” is just right. Rather than go all science-y on her readers, author Gloria Dickie brings the story of the world’s bears to a level that’s understandable by almost anyone. Oh, there’s science in here, yes, but it’s accessible, even fun, and

can easily be paraphrasically explained to a youngster. That’s great, if you’re going on vacation to Bear Country.

Speaking of which, the globe-trotting adventure that Dickie took to find out about the bears is good reading, too, and filled with stories. Animal lovers will enjoy knowing what’s being done for the bears around the world, while bear victims will learn what’s being done to ursines to keep them from destroying livestock and lives.

Don’t be surprised, in either case, if you’re not happy.

This is a wonderfully accessible book that’s deep enough but not fluffy, and that’s really quite informative. If you know bears — or you want to — “Eight Bears” is a book to cuddle up with.

The Roving Sportsman… Recent Tick Information Updates

By Jon Pries

With the peak of the tick season about to be upon us, it is important to learn all you can about ticks in Pennsylvania and why it is so critical to be aware of the dangers they can present.

Within the borders of Pennsylvania, most folks know about the “deer tick,” but actually, there are 25 different species of ticks present throughout the state, and each can present its own problems. The four that are most prevalent are the deer tick (also referred to as the Eastern black-legged tick), the brown dog tick, the lone star tick, and the Asian long-horned tick.

The deer or black-legged tick has been identified in every U.S. state except Hawaii. Within the U.S., the deer tick is most prevalent in the Northeast and is found throughout Pennsylvania. This tick may carry several tick-borne diseases, with the most well-known being Lyme disease. The lifespan of a deer tick is two years, which begins in the spring when adult ticks lay their eggs, which

hatch in early summer. Throughout the summer, these larvae feed on birds and other small mammals. Between spring and fall of the next year, they grow into adults and seek larger hosts such as deer, moose, and bears. The following spring, the females lay their eggs and then die.

In the adult life stage, only female ticks transmit disease since male ticks are not known to feed on blood. Tick bites are a threat throughout the year. While spring, summer, and fall are peak deer tick seasons, they may feed anytime the temperature is above 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

If an individual contracts the tickborne Lyme disease, symptoms typically occur 3-30 days after the bite, and 70-80% of individuals will experience a rash around the site of infection that may resemble a bullseye mark. Flu-like symptoms are common and may include headaches, fatigue, chills, fever, and muscle and joint aches. A two-part test can help a Doctor diagnose any possible Lyme disease infection, and there is a CDC-recommended treatment. Incidentally, Pennsylvania has

for some years been the state with the highest number of reported cases of Lyme disease.

The lone star tick was originally discovered in Texas and Missouri but has now spread throughout the U.S. and can be found throughout Pennsylvania. Diseases most often carried by the lone star tick are Rocky Mountain spotted fever and red meat allergy. The symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever are similar to those produced by Lyme disease, but left untreated can lead to much more serious and even life-threatening consequences for humans. A bite from the lone star tick can yield in humans Alpha-gel syndrome (AGS), which is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic condition. Also called red meat allergy, AGS occurs after an infectious bite from a lone star tick and that person eats red meat, or is exposed to other alpha-gel products. A severe allergic reaction can include anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction that must be treated immediately with epinephrine. A bite from the lone star tick can cause people to develop an allergy to red meat, including venison, beef, and pork. It is possible that the allergy can go away if you avoid any red meat for a period of

several years.

The Brown dog tick does not transmit Lyme disease but can carry the pathogen that causes tularemia, as well as a variety of other pathogens that can cause disease in pets.

The Asian long-horned tick is invasive in Pennsylvania and has been recovered in central and eastern counties while it continues to spread throughout the state. It has been recovered primarily from deer, sheep, cattle, and domestic pets and people. This tick is not a significant factor for disease pathogens of dogs and cats. While it can carry several diseases, it’s most significant in the blood loss and sometimes death in calves, a decrease in milk production in cows, and a decrease in wool quantity and quality in sheep.

Tick season stretches from May until November, with a peak period of mid-August to November, but as long as the ground is dry and free of ice, most tick species can be active.

Ticks are nothing to mess around with. If you experience tick bite symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact your Doctor. Get outside and enjoy all of the benefits of the Great Outdoors; just be aware of the dangers of ticks and treat any threats of tick bites seriously.

The Snapping Turtle: A Living Submarine

For some unknown reason, I have always been captivated by things that crawl, swim and slither. None of my siblings seem to have been smitten with my affection for such critters, and my interest has not waned over the years. It seems that my grandchildren, however, have inherited some of my curiosity with a number of reptiles and amphibians. Although many are probably most excited to see large pythons or toothy alligators, I tend to gravitate to those animals which occur naturally here in our area. The snapping turtle is one such animal. While many people may not have seen a snapper in the wild, they are much more abundant than you may have realized. If you spend much time fishing on our local lakes and ponds or even if you just hike the shores of a local lake, you have probably seen more snappers than you thought because many of those swirls at the surface are not made by fish but rather by snapping turtles. The nose and eyes, like a periscope on a submarine, are all that surfaces most of the time, and the least

little disturbance or attempt to get close will send the hardshelled amphibian scurrying for the soft mud bottom. Although I have been unable to find out how long they can hold their breath, it may be five minutes or more before they resurface. Although they seldom leave the water, this is the time of year you are most likely to see one crossing a road or walking across dry land in search of a nesting site. While in the water, they are very difficult to approach, and they will quickly dive into the depths to avoid humans. On land, however, their demeanor changes dramatically. They are very slow on land, and unlike many other turtles, they are unable to withdraw into their shells for protection; thus they can become very aggressive in their actions. A very formidable mouth may open wide, accompanied by a hissing sound. They may also emit a foul odor. Their head may snap straight ahead or from side to side with amazing speed and with enormous power. Clearly, they are capable of doing some serious damage to a hand or finger. Unless you know

Ken Hunter

what you are doing, it is best to leave them alone. On occasion, fishermen will catch them while fishing with worms or some other bait. If you get one anywhere near the boat, it is probably best to just cut the line. In case you are wondering, I have done my fair share of wadding chest-deep in lakes full of snappers, and I have never been bothered, but when a snapper is approached or bothered on land, it’s a different story.

They remain active all summer, but most tend to hibernate during the winter months. They usually bury themselves in mud, and their oxygen intake drops considerably. They may stay buried in the mud for three or more months,

but some snappers have actually been observed swimming beneath the ice. The average adult weighs between 15 and 30 lbs, but many people who see them grabbing a snort of air at the surface tend to overestimate their size. They may live up to 30 to 40 years. Much like a high school wrestler following Friday night’s match, the snapper will eat almost anything, including vegetable matter, snakes, salamanders, fish, small mammals, young ducks, and even dead stuff. Although I have never tried to catch, kill, clean, and eat one, I am told that the variety of meats they provide makes an absolutely great-tasting turtle soup.

SMALL TOWN

A Kid’s August Christmas

Most parents will remember the moment of their child’s first few Christmas experiences. Their anticipation, excitement, and pure wide-eye joy when they awoke and saw the treasures Santa Claus had left under the tree.

As they grew older, Christmas was still a special occasion, but it didn’t have that magic aura of their younger years.

That is the analogy brought about each August in our neck-of-thewoods with the annual arrival of the Little League World Series. Yes, it is a great event, bringing worldwide attention to our backyard. But everyone’s perception may not be the same. It provides an economic shot-in-the-arm, produces a Lycoming County definition of a ‘traffic jam’ discouraging some fans from attending the games, and for Little League staff employees, it creates 12 to 18-hour days.

But any of those circumstances matter little when it comes to the reason the 76 replays of the LLBWS hold relevance. Since that 1947, Maynard Midgets’ triumph put Carl Stotz and Williamsport, PA, on the map. To all those Little Leaguers players who have climbed the youth baseball summit, Williamsport, PA, is the ultimate Christmas morning experience.

Scott Lowery

Little League Baseball has been a part of my life since the first game I played as an eight-year-old. I’ve played, coached, broadcast, written about the game, and served as the organization’s Central Region Director for 14 years. While the repetitive nature of each year’s World Series may be a bit ‘old hat’ for some, the joy on the faces of the pre-teens that come year each summer never gets old to me.

During the Penn College hosted a picnic for the Little League teams before the Grand Slam Parade, I shared a visit with Cole Warken, the manager of the Canadian champion from the North Regina LL, Saskatchewan. Over the years, he is the 64th manager to bring the Canadian champion to Williamsport, but just like those before him, he was relishing the moment before him.

Warken and his coaches, Cole Paquin and Kyle Carson own a baseball academy back in Regina and work together in the offseason. This year, the league approached them about coaching their kids, and they thought it would be a great opportunity.

“That’s worked out because now we’re here we are in Williamsport,” a smiling Warkin revealed.

“This Williamsport experience has been incredible since we got the plane ride to

get here. It is hard to describe how this opportunity to live amongst our guys and really get to know them better on a personal level has been like. It has been fun to share this whole experience with them and see their excitement. The amount of gear they have received and the memories they are making is amazing.”

For Warken and his Canadian kids, the mere fact that they are here seems a bit improbable as the team lost the first three games it played in the national tournament.

“This year we hosted the Canadian National Tournament. We played six games in a round-robin format,” Warken explained. “We got off to a rough start, and our first three games were against teams that were supposed to be the best teams. We lost all three of those games, and in our fourth game, we were trailing going to the bottom of the sixth inning. We then won our next two games to qualify for the semifinal round.

“In the semi-finals, we beat Quebec 3-2 with another walk-off win. In the finals, we played British Columbia, who had beaten us 1-0 in our first game. Our pitching staff was short-staffed for the entire game, but we got an early lead and hung on to win 4-3. I couldn’t be prouder of the guys for the way they played and battled back after those first three losses.

“I think those first three games could be attributed to a little bit of nerves, especially since we were the host team. Throughout the entire tournament, this team has continued to battle and compete. They never really got too rattled and continued

to compete from the first pitch to the last.”

Like the Canadians, each team has its own story carved on the wonderous journey to Williamsport.

The Chinese Taipei champion lost the final game of the Asia Pacific tournament 6-0 to South Korea. Still, it was awarded the game via a forfeit when it was discovered illegal players had been used. For the first time, Cuba has a representative playing in the series. It’s just the opposite for Nolensville, Tennessee, whose league has now represented the Southeast Region for three consecutive years.

Coming from different backgrounds, all 20 teams have one thing in common: they are playing in the first World Series using a new continuous batting order (CBO) rule. Instituted by Little League prior to this year’s tournament play, the rule requires all players on a team’s roster must bat in a continuous order throughout the game. Since some series teams have chosen to have between 12 and 14 players on their rosters, the playing field is not always level.

Manager’s opinions regarding the new rule vary, but Warken has taken the new rule in stride.

“It brings challenges in certain ways, but I think it is also a good thing as all the guys have to contribute and find a way to help us win a ball game.”

As is the case after Christmas, the decorative trimmings encasing the Little League Complex will soon be packed away for another year. While they are here, take the time to enjoy the sight; fall is on its way!

Sporting Matters With Spence… Classic Memories

This will be the sixth MLB Little League Classic. No. I did not score a ticket. No worries. I have already been there and done that. I was in the stands for a few, and they were simply fantastic. But the games I remember were the ones from the outside. Those experiences were great, and they made me somewhat famous. True story. I have the retweets and notes to prove it. I was that guy who tried to get a foul ball from a kayak. Jensen got some serious airtime when JLO was in the house. I also caught a monster smallmouth during the 3rd inning a few years later.

The first showcase was in 2017 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals. It was a great day for everyone involved. The teams arrived early and spent some quality time with the Little Leaguers. They took in the sights and sounds of the World Series in South Williamsport. The smiles and interactions were stupendous. That evening, they played a game in front of the kids at Historic Bowman. MLB and Little League both came out victorious. It was an incredible and candid atmosphere. It exceeded everyone’s expectations. Yes. I had my doubts. Many of us did. There was a buzz, and our hometown field underwent a major facelift. The City

kicked in some cash, and MLB donated a hefty amount. Rumors quickly spread, and it was actual bedlam. Memorial Park turned into Area 51 a few months prior to that first MLB Little League Classic. I tried hard but to no avail. No tickets for Coach that first year. I took matters into my own hands. I watched that first game from my kayak. My recap went viral. My description of trying to catch a foul from a boat actually won some hardware. It was one of my favorites. It still makes me smile. That little write-up scored me two seats in 2018. Jensen and I had a ball. We were three rows behind the New York Mets. Hanging out with our new friends from the Asian Pacific. We didn’t understand a word they said.

I didn’t get the call for the 2019 Classic. No worries.

Once again, my media credentials were denied, and I struck out in the new Disgruntled Residents in Lycoming County Lottery. Jensen and his friends scored that year and were seated behind home plate. MLB and Little League always invite some local teams to take in the

game. The boys from the 17728 were actually two rows from JLO. She is pretty, Dad. Incredible. Jensen was everywhere, and he scored some serious TV time. My phone buzzed whenever he made the big screen. My parents sent us a still frame from CA. Yes. My boy is a magnet. I was a tad jealous.

Last year, I wanted to partake in some way. The water was too low for my boat. I decided to park at Weis Markets and go for a stroll. Yes. I had my pole. I fished downstream and had some success. Nothing to brag about, but it was good to get some action. We were about an hour before game time. There was already a decent crowd. I have been on this stretch ever since high school. But this was the first time during the MLB Little League Classic.

I paused for the National Anthem. I also stopped during the starting lineups. There was a buzz in the air. The sun began to set. And the lights of the stadium

quickly took over. It was a surreal situation. It was like I was fishing on a different planet. I hooked into something that was now jumping. I held my breath as I only wanted a picture. I landed a healthy smallmouth. I was lipping a beautiful bass with historic Bowman Field in the backdrop.

I have caught many fish in my lifetime, but I will always remember this special encounter. Again. This didn’t happen during a Cutters game. I landed this smallmouth in the early moments of the MLB Little League Classic. Pictures don’t do her justice. I even recorded a selfie video for the Lycoming Creek Chronicles. I sent it to several media outlets. My son was proud when they showed a panoramic view of the entire complex. Is that Dad in the middle of Lycoming? Enjoy the show, kids. I love Little League Baseball. Cheers.
