Webb Weekly August 30, 2023

The Tuesday After Labor Day

As August is about to be in the rear-view mirror, I have so many thoughts as the kids head back to school. I am sure many parents, grandparents, and those who take care of the kids over the summer are happy to hear the words “school’s open,” which I always follow up with “drive safely” this time of year. I’ll begin my column with that public service message that is always so important with a little twist.

Think about all the bad driving you’ve seen recently. Now combine that with a little bit of honesty about the times you’ve been distracted and may have made a mistake. I will use a broad brush when it comes to the word mistake, from maybe not looking behind you when you’re leaving the driveway to not seeing the highway sign, signal, or traffic pattern you should be following to possibly going too fast at some point in your travels. These are often-occurring common mistakes almost all of us make and get away with, most of the time.

No matter how safely you drive, the opportunity is always present for that split second of distraction. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the electronic device of your choosing — even when you follow the laws and safety guidelines. Back

to that blatant honesty, your mind tends to focus on conversations or even the podcast or book you’re listening to.

I think it’s safe to say there’s never been more distractions while driving. I also think it is safe to say there are just more bad drivers that don’t really seem to care. This is a bad combination.

So, back to where I began, whether it’s preschool or a college campus you encounter while behind the wheel, stay focused and pay a little closer attention. Use your common sense and avoid high-traffic school zones whenever possible. Please identify the bus stops and daily bus routes and leave a little extra space between you and the vehicle in front of you. This holds true whether you’re traveling in town or the most remote parts of our area. Allow extra time for that morning or afternoon commute; this is especially important in areas where there is construction and until the new school year finds its normal pattern. There is nothing more important than our children. Please help and do everything possible to keep them safe on their journey through life.

So, that gets me to the more things change, the more they move away from common sense thought of the week. Why, especially in our area, the home of

the Little League World Series, do the school districts not wait until the Tuesday after Labor Day to begin classes? This excludes construction, a mold issue, or any unforeseen circumstances they may face. You can even take the Little League World Series out of the equation; in my simple mind, the best way to get the students back in a normal routine is to begin the day after Labor Day and not immediately have vacation days built into the school year. Not to mention, wouldn’t it be easier for parents, teachers, coaches, and the world to know this is the schedule every year?

That gets me to my next thought. Doesn’t it make sense for every school district, not only in our area but in the state of Pennsylvania, to follow this Tuesday after Labor Day is back-toschool day routine?

Back to where I began my column, it makes good common sense for everybody to know that school always begins the day after Labor Day. The general public is conditioned to that date and to pay extra close attention to what’s going on around them. Every public service message is then in play across the state for the new school year. I believe there are four different start dates for school

districts just in the West Branch Valley this year.

I would really blow some people’s minds if I suggested that the school schedules statewide mirrored each other, including the same ending date in early June. Again, I understand construction and the unforeseen may play a factor. However, with all the strides made since COVID with remote learning, you would think this would be possible in today’s world.

Please don’t take this the wrong way; I don’t believe there’s any better learning opportunity than kids to be in a classroom with their teacher. Nor do I think when there is a big snowfall, kids should lose the opportunity to get out and enjoy that snow day in the name of remote learning. I would just like to see the money spent on remote learning and the practical use of this concept optimized. And when school is canceled without that big snowfall, the day is not a day of lost learning.

I had better stop here, or the next thing I will suggest is that local schools play each other instead of traveling across the state, and this is in all sports. I then might even mention the return and importance of rivalry games — and who would want that to happen?

Let’s all be safe out there and look out for our children.

God Bless America.

Back to School Advice

Most of the kids in our area are either back in the classroom or headed there shortly. As we all start to readjust to the school year routine, let’s talk about how we can get kids started in the best way possible.

It’s not easy being a middle school or high school student. There are so many responsibilities, and many students lack the life experience necessary to really know what works best for them in terms of studying, getting involved, or preparing for college admissions.

I put a request out asking for teachers to offer up their best advice for students and received some helpful tips.

My friend Amanda offered this, “Take ownership of your learning. It is your education and your future. Do the work. Pay attention to the instructions. Communicate, communicate, communicate — we aren’t mind readers. If you need help/clarification, ask. If you have other stumbling blocks/stressors, tell us. We can’t help if we don’t know!”

Amanda’s husband, Geoff, is also a teacher and has some additions to her, “To piggyback on Amanda, yes take ownership and learn responsibility. We can’t do the work for you; we’ve already put in that time. Always ask questions. Don’t be afraid to say no and at the same time be able to say yes. Be patient. No one learns everything in a day. Be respectful to your teachers, and to everyone you interact with.”

From the great interwebz, I found this piece from kdcollegeprep.com that I think is really beneficial, “While starting new classes, remember that your outlook about this school year can impact your performance all year long. It’s a lot easier to earn an A if you do your best from the start instead of falling behind during the first few weeks and having to play catch up the rest of the semester. Mentally prepare yourself to put your best foot forward in the first half of the semester. Try to stay ahead as long as you can. You may be surprised by how far you’ll go.”

Making the transition to middle school, or high school can be tough, previously, you may have been told where to go, what classes to take, and how to finish your homework, or maybe didn’t have homework at all. Now things are different — so many choices and things competing for your time. Stretch yourself too thin and you might feel stressed out.

Here are some ways to get control:

Plan ahead. Get a wall calendar or personal planner. Mark the dates of midterms, finals, and other tests. Note the due dates of term papers, essays, and other projects as they are assigned. List any other time commitments you have, like sports practice or play rehearsals. When your calendar starts

to fill, learn to say no to other activities until things calm down.

Listen up. Paying attention in class can pay off in the long run. Sure, it’s often easier said than done, but actively listening and taking notes during classes can make recalling information easier when it comes time to study and remember things.

Take notes. If you take notes and review them before class begins (or while studying for an exam), you can ask a teacher to go over anything you don’t understand. It can also be helpful to go over notes with a friend after class — as long as you’re confident your friend really grasps the material! Learning good note-taking skills in high school also helps put you ahead of the curve in college, when good lecture notes are key to studying and doing well.

In addition to advice for students, Webb writer Joseph Smith also has some advice for the teachers at the front of the classroom, “Overprepare. Take an interest in their personal lives. Be flexible. Leave your ego at the door; you are not cool anymore, and that’s OK. Admit mistakes — apologize where needed. Spice up class with jokes, riddles, stories, movie clips, music, and an occasional snack. If one kid is ‘just doing it to get attention,’ then give him some! Remember that for many, school is the most structure, safety, and connection they have in their lives — and one time when you can get them OFF THEIR SCREENS for real interpersonal connection!”

I hope everyone has a great school year — kids and teachers alike. Work together, stay focused, and as always — be kind.

LIVE UNITED Fundraiser at CAC Benefits Lycoming County United Way

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

There will be quite a collection of local and former local musical talent performing at the Community Arts Center on Thursday, September 7. They will be on hand to perform at the Third Annual “Live United” concert, which will raise money for the Lycoming County United Way.

This concert will feature some of the brightest musical talent this area has had to offer in recent years. These include Morgan Myles, Dylan Rockoff, and Brennan “Beane” Hepler. Their talents are being supplemented by some veteran musical talent, including Dave Brumbaugh, Mike Caschera, Miss Pennsylvania — Miranda Moore, and Loni Gamble. The musical director will be veteran music educator Walt Straiton. Area radio personality Gary Chrisman will emcee the event.

“Now in its third year, LIVE UNITED in Music is now a signature community event for our United Way,” Ron Frick, President and CEO of the Lycoming County United Way, told Webb Weekly. “This year, we have invited some homegrown talent in a homecoming of sorts, and we are thrilled to have Morgan, Dylan, and Brennan back in Williamsport as they are all now household names locally and on the national stage, and the addition of Mike, Lonnie,

Miranda and Kopper and Kash is just more icing on the cake.”

This signature event is part of LIVE UNITED month and an event to showcase the Lycoming County United Way and our community as a whole. This is the third live community event. The first two featured Grammy and Tony Award nominee Michael Cavanaugh and the LIVE UNITED in Music Pops Orchestra under the direction of Walt Straiton. This year’s event features all local talent and a few surprises as well.

A little bit about some of the talent featured at LIVE UNITED. Morgan Myles is a former local woman who has earned praise for her work in Nashville. She recently finished third in NBC’s program “The Voice,” and she can count an appearance at Nashville’s legendary “Grand Ole Opry” as one of her accomplishments. She is due to release her new album at the end of this month. She is a graduate of the Uptown Music Collective. Myles recently has been named the National Spokeswoman for The Glioblastoma Foundation, an honor bestowed on her after a moving performance on The Voice of Lady Gaga’s “Always Remember Us This Way.”

Like Myles, Dylan Rockoff is also a graduate of the Uptown Music Collective. Over the past few years, he has managed to carve out quite a career for himself as

a singer-songwriter. The now Nashville “Pop-Hop-Singer-Songwriter” first found success with the release of his debut single “Feeling Fine.” The song was featured on NBC’s The Today Show and later aired on Train’s SiriusXM special, Train Tracks. Rockoff later opened for Bon Jovi at Madison Square Garden and played sold-out headline dates across the U.S.

Brennan “Beane” Hepler hit the national stage as a contestant on American Idol, Season 19 in 2021, finishing in the show’s top 12 contestants. His duet of “Angel” by Robbie Williams with Josh Groban received great applause and accolades. A graduate of Loyalsock Township High School and the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Beane is a self-described R&B singer-songwriter preferring to tackle all aspects of artistry head-on, including design, promotion, and management.

Miranda Moore, “Miss Pennsylvania 2023,” will also appear. A native of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Miranda Moore is an Environmental Engineer, Sustainability Professional, and accomplished clarinet player.

The veteran musicians involved in LIVE UNITED are Dave Brumbaugh, the Executive Director of the Uptown Music Collective, a music school that for over 20 years has been serving northeastern and central Pennsylvania with music, youth, and education. Together, the Uptown Music Collective forms a powerful and inspired community committed to connecting people with music. Kopper and Kash

is an up-and-coming country trio band including sisters Mia and Ava Pennycoff, along with their father, Navy veteran Jeff Pennycoff. They share their love of country music with the mission to share positivity and inspiration with others.

Philadelphia-born Loni Gamble has lived a very diverse musical career. Heavily influenced by his older brother Gary while growing up in Philly, his musical roots lie in R&B. Loni formally began his musical career as a guitar player for the Grammy-nominated Stylistics. Later, as a solo artist, his hit single “Could It Be Love” made the Top 40 dance lists in seven countries in Europe and Canada. Today, Loni is head of the Community Alliance for Progressive Positive Action (CAPPA), a nonprofit award-winning organization that has served the Williamsport area since 2004 with innovative youth programs.

Mike Caschera is a lifelong resident of Lycoming County, having left his mark throughout the country as a singer, saxophonist, and multi-percussionist. Mike got his start at 13, performing with his older brother and long-time local band leader Tony Caschera, playing with both the “Bel Airs” followed by “TC and the VIPs.” Perhaps best known for his touring days with “Spiral Staircase” and their #1 hit song “I Loved You More Today Than Yesterday,” Mike logged many miles in both the US and Canada before returning to Billtown.

Why Settle for an Ordinary Monument ?

Mike frequently appeared with “Prince Charles and the Royal Tones” and was the driving creative force in creating the band “Magique,” a mainstay in the Williamsport club scene in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Mike and his wife Karen also opened and ran the “Studio of the Performing Arts” in South Williamsport from 1989 through 2021. A driving force leading to the creation of the famous “Chrisman Show Live” (1990-2001).

Mike currently appears in the appropriately named band “The Family Ties,” performing alongside his two sons, Mike Caschera III and Gino Caschera. Together with Joe Marches, they perform primarily original music along with time-honored contemporary classics in the greater northcentral Pennsylvania region.

LIVE UNITED in Music’s Executive Producer, Walt Straiton, has enjoyed a blended career combining education, business, entertainment, and professional performance and serves as Director of Academic and Institutional Partnerships with MusicFirst, a New York/London-based developer of integrated cloud-based instructional software solutions supporting music education. Walt first came to Williamsport in 1977. He enjoyed a 26-year tenure serving as Director of Orchestras at Williamsport Area High School, which included the creation of the renowned “Millionaire Strolling Strings” while also serving on the orchestral conducting staff of

both Messiah University and Penn State. During his tenure in WASD, Walt was one of four teachers in the nation honored to receive a coveted John F. Kennedy Center Fellowship for Teachers in the Arts.

Honored for the opportunity to regularly collaborate with Michael Cavanaugh, Walt has previously conducted concerts featuring a wide variety of contemporary pop/jazz artists, including Chris Botti, Bob James, Burt Bacharach, David Benoit, Maynard Ferguson, Chuck Mangione, Buddy Rich, Lionel Hampton, Phil Woods, The Captain and Tennille, The Spinners, Patti Austin, Neil Sedaka, Franki Valli and the Four Seasons, The Empire Brass Quintet, and Bobby Rydell.

Serving as special music arranger for LIVE UNITED will be Rob Byham. Rob has arranged for the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra (WSO) and is currently arranging music for the Susquehanna Valley Chorale (SVC) pops concert, something he has done since the late 1980s. In addition to the WSO and the SVC, Rob has arranged music for Davy Jones of the Monkees, the Empire Brass Quintet, and the Uptown Music Collective.

County Hall Corner: Hawaii Oh-No

By Larry Stout

It is hard to tell at the moment what long-lasting impact an event may have. President George W. Bush did not want to impede the rescue work going on after Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005, and thus flew over New Orleans rather than stopping to demonstrate his concern. Katrina haunted him till the end of his second term. It became known as a “Katrina Moment” and signifies a public official who shows a lack of empathy for those suffering at a time of tragedy.

Such it was on August 8th when President Biden was on vacation at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware and asked about the ongoing fire disaster in Hawaii. His response was “No Comment.” For possibly the first time, almost all the media sources agreed that this was a tone-deaf response to a very serious issue.

Yet even so, President Biden continued his vacation and then traveled to Lake Tahoe in Nevada, renting billionaire Tom Steyer’s $15 million lakeside home to accommodate himself, his wife Jill, and children Hunter and Ashley, as well as members of their families. But apparently, the pressure got the better of him, given that there was no advance notice, as President

Biden and his wife, flew to the island of Maui on Monday, August 21st, to review the damage and express concerns. This is one of those times when leaders can make history. President Roosevelt assured the nation after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, in his “Day of Infamy” speech. President Reagan encouraged a shocked nation in his “Challenger Disaster” speech in January 1986. And even President George W. Bush spoke the words that America needed to hear when he was visiting Ground Zero on September 14, 2001. While surveying the damage, someone asked him a question, and when he began to answer, he was told that they could not hear him. President Bush grabbed a bullhorn while standing atop a crumpled fire truck and said, “I can hear you. The rest of the world

That’s not how WE operate

If you’ve been told you need surgery for herniated, bulging, degenerated or ruptured discs, but are concerned about the risks, you are a potential candidate for a non-surgical treatment that has worked for thousands of back pain sufferers.

Decompression Therapy, a traction based procedure is also a highly successful treatment for patients suffering from low back, neck, radiating leg & arm pain, headaches, pinched nerves, carpal tunnel syndrome and many failed back surgery cases. Enhances the healing process and renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle. Pain relief is possible during the very first visit. Clinically proven, FDA cleared. Therapy is performed in a comfortable, non-surgical setting. No needles, anesthesia or incisions.

hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.”

This is what we want and expect from our leaders, especially one who is considered the “leader of the free world.” They speak with a force behind them that could even put a man on the moon. The tragedy that took place in Hawaii in August was horrific, and the opportunity was open to inspire the nation itself and not just Hawaii.

Yet here is what we received in President Biden’s speech at Lahaina on the island of Maui on August 21st. He started by acknowledging what a great, bang-up job their governor and lieutenant governor, US senator and representative, and even local mayor were doing. Then the president transitioned by noting a banyan tree to his left that, for some reason, reminded him of a mentor he had in the Senate, Danny Inouye, a former senator from Hawaii. Then, after some stories of his old days at the Senate, he alluded to the tree again.

President Biden then transitioned to express empathy by relating his own suffering from his first wife and daughter’s death in an auto accident in 1972 and his experience with house fires from a kitchen fire at his home in 2004, where he stated, “I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette, and my cat.”

Finally, he wrapped up his remarks by citing the help coming from the various

government offices and “Bob.” He called out Bob Fenton by his first name from the crowd as Chief Federal Response Coordinator for Maui to lead the long-term recovery work. He noted that his man Bob is “one of the nation’s most experienced disaster response and recovery experts in America” and that he has been directed “to make sure the community has everything — everything the federal government can offer to heal and to rebuild as fast as possible.” And with that promise, he closed his remarks by going back to the banyan tree for the third time, “a diamond in the rough of hope” because “fire cannot reach its roots.”

This probably would have been a worthwhile stump speech for someone running for a political office, but the moment definitely cried for something more. Even the delivery seemed flippant at times. Keep in mind this was one of the deadliest fires in United States history. Thousands of acres have been burned out, and at least 2,200 houses and buildings were destroyed. And worst of all, as of this writing, at least 115 people are known dead, and 850 or more are still missing, many of them children. Many of those in the audience that President Biden was addressing had everything taken from them.

Pain needs more than promises; it needs hope. Real hope inspires and gives strength and motivation to face the future. Empty hope comes from meaningless metaphors like banyan trees.

The Solid Rock Principle of Worship

This is the third article in The Solid Rock Principles of Jesus series. Previous articles are always available at www.webbweekly.com.

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. Matthew 7:24-25

We have already discussed the solid rock principles of love and light. Today, we will focus on worship.

The principle of worship addresses motivation. It explores the question: What drives me to do what I do?

It is a simple question, but answering it accurately requires disciplined objectivity. Why? Because the human heart is biased toward self and cannot be trusted. Jeremiah 17:9 says, The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

Our hearts are constantly entangled in a briar of selfish desire. It is nearly impossible for us to do anything altruistically (completely selflessly). Somehow, the thorns of selfish desire get snagged in everything we do. It’s just the way it is.

For example, generosity can be a beautiful act of worship — but only if the motive

Tim Hartzell

driving it is gratitude for blessings already received.

That’s a problem because most of us have been taught that generosity brings even greater future blessings. This thought is a thorn in our motivation. How can we claim to be worshiping God if our motive is the hope of getting more from Him? The desire for more exposes a selfish motive.

For the record, Jesus taught one form of giving that does result in future blessings from God:

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Luke 6:37-38

When we are generous in giving forgiveness to others, God declares that He will be generous in giving forgiveness to us. If we don’t forgive others, He won’t forgive us. See Matthew 6:15.

Go figure. The form of generosity we struggle with the most is the one God promises to bless in the future.

For all other forms of generosity to be considered worship, they must be motivated by gratitude for blessings already received.

FAITH

When gratitude drives us, the result is worship.

Jesus takes motive in worship very seriously. In Matthew 6, He warns us about doing good things in an effort to gain admiration from others. If that’s the motive, then it isn’t the worship of God.

Acts 5:1-11 is a very stark lesson on motive and how it relates to worship. Ananias and Sapphira acted like they were giving all of their real estate proceeds to the apostles to meet people’s needs. It appeared to be a selfless and generous act of worship, but it wasn’t. They didn’t give all of the proceeds — they kept some back for themselves. They misrepresented what they were doing so they could gain the admiration of the apostles and the church. It wasn’t about worshiping God or helping the poor — it was about elevating themselves. God exposed their selfish motives, and the consequences were terribly harsh. This story clearly reveals what God thinks about selfishness getting entangled in our worship.

It’s a story that should cause all of us to carefully consider the motive question: What drives me to do what I do? The honest answer to that question will likely expose selfish motives. Once exposed, we overcome the thorny selfishness in our hearts by engaging in the selfless disciplines of worship.

The Selfless Disciplines of Worship

1. Trusting Obedience. When we trust God enough to obey Him with reckless abandon, the result is a powerful form of

selfless worship. In John 17:4, Jesus declares to His Father: I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. How did Jesus worship His Father? He worshiped through trusting obedience.

Philippians 2:8 describes the trusting obedience Jesus gave: he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross. There is no higher form of worship than trusting obedience expressed through selflessness. Consider Samuel 15:22, Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

We must ask ourselves: Do I trust God enough to obey Him even if it costs me something — or even everything? When our motive is selflessness expressed through trusting obedience, the result is genuine worship.

2. Secret Obedience. The most effective way to protect our hearts from selfish motives is to regularly offer sacrifices of worship that no one else will ever see. That’s what Jesus taught us in Matthew 6. Our public expressions of worship are only meaningful to God if they are a true reflection of our secret expressions of worship. Anything less is stinking hypocrisy.

So, we need to ask ourselves: Is my public worship a show for others to see, or is it an accurate reflection of my private worship?

The solid rock principle of worship requires our careful and honest answer to these questions.

UPMC Athletic Trainer: Listen to the Body to Stay in the Game

Daniel Picarella, MS, LAT, ATC, CES Athletic Trainer, UPMC Sports Medicine

As parents, it’s imperative that you play an active role in your child’s health and wellness in a positive way, especially when it comes to sports. In today’s youth sports culture, where the focus is on getting better, stronger, and faster to play at higher levels, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s best for your student-athlete. Competition is fierce and finding the right balance for helping young athletes play at peak performance, while keeping their bodies and minds healthy and strong, is a challenge.

No Pain, No Gain

While many may default to the old saying of, “no pain, no gain,” this thinking could be detrimental and lead down a path to a season-ending injury.

The human body has a tremendous capacity to adapt to physical stress. While we tend to think of “stress” negatively, physical stress, which is simply exercise and activity, is beneficial for our bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, making them stronger and more functional by the repetitive breakdown and build-

up of tissue.

Overuse injuries tend to occur when the breakdown and buildup are not properly proportioned leading to excess stress on the tissue. Overuse injuries, or repetitive strain injuries, are common athletic injuries associated with tendons, bones, and joints. Common examples of overuse injuries include tennis elbow, swimmer’s shoulder, pitching elbow, runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, Achilles tendinitis, and shin splints.

Most overuse injuries can be prevented with proper training and common sense. Athletes must learn to listen to their bodies. Always remember to encourage warm up and cool down before and after activity. Incorporating strength training, increasing flexibility, and improving core stability will also help minimize overuse injuries. When they are beginning an exercise program or sport, seek the advice of a sports medicine specialist or athletic trainer to prevent chronic or recurrent problems. An Injury Isn’t the End

There is nothing more disappointing to an athlete than being sidelined by a sports injury. The number one thing on any injured athlete’s mind is “when can

I return to sports?” Every athlete and every injury are unique, so the answer to this question isn’t one-size-fits-all. If they return too soon, you risk re-injury or developing a chronic problem that will lead to a longer recovery. Keep these tips in mind as they recover, to ensure a safe return to the game they love.

– See a professional. After an injury, it is important for a sports medicine doctor or athletic trainer to determine the extent of your injury. They understand your athlete’s desire to play their sport again but will always prioritize their health and know how to safely rebuild strength and mobility through physical therapy.

– Have patience. Depending on the type of injury, they may be unable to play for several weeks. Rather than focusing on everything they can’t do, focus on the activities and workouts they can do. Remind them to take their recovery one day at a time.

– Stay positive during recovery. Sports are a big part of your athlete’s life and being sidelined can be hard. Channel their energy into their recovery and encourage a positive mindset. A positive attitude can actually help them recover from an injury quicker.

– Ease into activity. After an injury, an

athlete can’t suddenly return to playing at full speed. Once they get the green light to play, have them ease into activity. If it hurts, have them stop. Even if they feel 100 percent better, their body is likely still returning to its full strength, range-of-motion, and stability.

– Listen to the medical team. Your athlete’s doctor, physical therapist, and team athletic trainer monitor their recovery and only move them to higher-level activities when they are ready. They can also teach them how to avoid re-injury when returning to sports. When it comes to the big game, safety scores the winning point. Getting back to the sport your student-athlete loves quickly, without re-injury, is the goal of UPMC Sports Medicine’s return to sports program. Our sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, and certified athletic trainers have extensive experience in sports medicine, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and recovery, helping athletes perform to the best of their abilities and enjoy the sports they love.

Race Day

It’s a perfect Saturday as I sit here under our canopy at Evansville Motocross Park. The wind is blowing, and the upper lip sweat isn’t out of control. The temperature is absolute perfection at 80 degrees and no humidity. The view is spectacular. The racetrack is in front of us, but the rolling mountains paint the background. Small puffs of clouds speckle the bright blue sky. It’s a perfect race day. We have two hours until the races start, so I thought it would be a good time to write. Ty’s all registered for each racing class, his bike is ready to roll, and now we wait till the riders’ meeting starts.

Our son, Tyer, has been racing motocross now for two seasons. He started last summer and got hooked. Watching him for the first time last year made my heart so full. There was no doubt this kid was a natural. He was nailing hole shots the very first night he raced. He started at the age of eleven.

We purchased a KTM racing bike for him in early spring before he started racing. The guy we purchased it from bought it for his 15-year-old son, who was afraid of it because it had so much power. Tyler, eleven at the time, got right on and took off like he had owned it for years. We bought it on the spot, so he had a good bike to race with. His first race, last year, a kid Ty’s age had a bad wreck. His momma was a cute, thicker lady like myself. *enter cheesy smile here* She

took off to get to her son, running down to get to the end of the fence to get inside the track. Her legs were running faster than her body, and she barrel-rolled onto the track. My heart went out to her. I instantly knew the feeling of needing to get to your child no matter what it took. Her son was OK, thank God. After it happened, Tyler came over to me and said, “Mom, I know that would be you doing everything in your power to get out to me. I can see you falling and everything from running so fast.”

I just started cracking up!!

“Yes, buddy, you are so right,” I said. “I would have hurdled over the fence, though, and probably landed face first, jumping right back up and then continuing to run like nothing ever happened.” (I mean, if you do it fast enough, does anyone really notice? Haha!) I am known for doing this. I think it takes mad skill. I call it my ‘special talent.’ *Enter another cheesy smile here*

Thank God Ty hasn’t had any bad wrecks. He has dropped it a few times on the track, and of course, I gasp, but he gets right back up and goes. I always look for the fastest way onto the track from where I am standing if I ever needed to get to him.

A lot of my momma friends ask how I don’t get scared watching him. I don’t, and I think it’s because I grew up on a motorcycle since I was three. I’ve had wrecks myself. Ty is a

good rider and smart about it, but I know that doesn’t make him untouchable. Of course, I worry about him getting hurt. He is fourteen. At sixteen, I’ll worry about him driving.

As parents, we worry. It’s natural, but we can’t have them living in a bubble. He loves racing, and we love watching him. I thank God before and after every race for keeping him safe. It gives me more joy to watch him race than worry.

Watching him get second and third-place plaques this season has been so awesome. All of them are placed on the wall of his room. He really wants first before the season ends. We tell him to just go out and have fun, and as long as he doesn’t get hurt, it was a good race!

We will see if he gets first tonight or in September. His momma is his number one fan and always rooting for him. He got third, then second, and said today, “Mom, all I need is first.” — The racing is starting, and I’ve got to go cheer my kid on. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes!

Update: Ty placed third place out of fourteen bikes in one of his classes, but he was more excited about clearing the grandstands jump, which is about a 30-foot gap from jump to jump. He has been wanting to make this jump since he started racing.

If you follow me on Instagram at Andreascountryhomecooknfitness, I share stories about his racing and lots of other goodies if you want to follow! He added another thirdplace plaque to his collection. He raced amazingly on Saturday, and we couldn’t be more proud of him! He continues to get better and better.

My family absolutely loves this. It tasted extra good on a rainy night.

Ifind with most things in life, it’s best to be prepared. But, for reasons seemingly beyond my control, I’m always shocked by how quickly the next to-do item, activity, event, project, season, or school year looms before me. With Labor Day fast approaching and autumn about to make itself known, I’ve finally started my fall list of garments and accessories from which I’ll base my seasonal wardrobe. From cozy sweater dresses to neutral layers and chic boots, here are

the fall finds and strategies for outfit planning in the coming cooler months. When taking stock of your wardrobe, you will probably already have some tried-and-true staples, like turtlenecks, jeans, button-down shirts, and sweaters. In fact, like me, you may have a variety of these go-to pieces, which can be overwhelming. Instead of outfit planning around every last garment you could wear this season, select four or five of your top options. These should be picks you’re most likely to

wear that need littleto-no maintenance to be outfit-ready and have styling versatility for multiple looks.

Next, make your shopping list for fall finds that you’re lacking. This list can consist of basics as well as statement pieces and should include accessories, footwear, and outerwear. My list this season features baggy jeans, heeled loafers, a workplace bag, and anything plaid.

Garments that are trendy for Fall 2023 that you may want to consider adding to your closet include Ballet flats, midi denim skirts, half-zip sweaters, flarelegged jeans, and boucle blazers.

If you want to fill in your transitional clothing options for chilly mornings that turn into sweltering afternoons, look to sleeveless turtleneck tops, lightweight cardigans, trouser shorts, and wrap dresses. These all work as layered looks for fluctuating daily highs and lows.

Once you have your list of finds, it’s time to shop — or, more so, research before shopping.

Nowadays, there are very few and far between one-stop shopping destinations. Sure, you’ve got your Macy’s,

Kohl’s, and Nordstroms, but even these department stores can fall short on every item on your list and within your budget.

Oh, I forgot budget. Yeah, make one. If not a full budget, then a maximum price you’re willing to pay for any particular garment. Keeping budget in mind, research which stores and sites offer you what you’re looking for at a price you can afford. You may already have your go-to brands for particular items, so start there, but don’t be afraid to shop around.

Speaking of shopping around, don’t limit yourself to traditional retailers. For my baggy jeans search, I’m looking at secondhand and thrift shops. And I’m not just browsing the women’s section. I’ll also be exploring men’s denim for the perfect slouchy, worn-in look. A trick with oversized pieces, especially thrifted finds, is customizing the fit with alterations if you’re handy in that way, or for a no-sew option, there are adjustable button pins for jeans that will allow you to realign pants buttons. On the opposite end, you could also utilize a button extender. Raising or lowering hems, taking seams in, or replacing zippers and snaps are other ways to customize and revitalize secondhand purchases. And don’t feel limited to in-person thrifting. There

is Poshmark, Depop, and ThredUp for online thrift shopping.

Another shopping alternative to consider is subscription or styling services. Companies like Stitch Fix, Wantable, Gwynnie Bean, or ThreadBeast all offer curated boxes sent to your door to try on and outright purchase or rentto-purchase. Working with a stylist can take out a lot of the leg work, literally, of searching for items and figuring out sizing.

Once you have a roster of pieces, you can start outfit planning. This can be as detailed and specific as you want or a general loose idea of outfit building blocks. You can schedule certain looks for certain days or identify key items you want to wear each week. It’s whatever works best for you, your daily needs, and, of course, the weather.

I like to categorize my outfits based around my weekly activities. There are work-from-the-office outfits on which I spend the most effort and budget. There are work-from-home looks that also double as errand-running and hiking looks. Then, there are weekend outfits divided amongst family activities, going out, and church ensembles. There can be some crossover; I may wear the same dress and cardigan on a Sunday that I do on a Wednesday, and I

may don the same athletic leggings for a walk in the woods that I do for family mini-golf. The main point of outfitting planning is not to stress it but to be prepared for the week(s) ahead and hopefully look and feel stylish in the process.

Lastly, don’t forget the final touches. We all need a bottom, top, shoes, and a jacket for fall, but an outfit calls for a bit more. Jewelry, hair accessories, belts, hats, scarves, a bag, and cosmetics all contribute to an overall look. You don’t need a whole cadre of accessories for each look; just having standard quality pieces that elevate any outfit is the simple trick to accessories. I rotate three watches, two sets of rings, and four different necklaces with all of my outfits. So, while the accessories are repeated often during the week, their pairing with different outfits still gives polish to the overall looks.

There is no one right way to shop, style, or outfit plan. It’s all about what works best for you, whether you lay out each piece of your look the night before or only have a general idea of what to wear on the day. The key idea is to be prepared as fall approaches, which will hopefully take away some of the stress with sartorial decision-making in the season ahead.

The

Future of Aging in Lycoming and Clinton Counties

Late summer 2023 is an exciting time if you live in Lycoming County or Clinton County. The Little League World Series is in full swing, students are getting ready to return to school, and the Pennsylvania Department of Aging is working on their Master Plan for Aging. On May 25, 2023, Governor Shapiro signed Executive Order 2023-09, the Pennsylvania Master Plan for Older Adults. This executive order directed the Pennsylvania Department of Aging to evaluate issues

facing older Pennsylvanians and support the development of a statewide Master Plan for Older Adults.

The Master Plan is a 10-year strategic planning resource that can help Pennsylvania transform the infrastructure of the state and coordinate services for their older adults. This plan will include goals, objectives, and initiatives that promote the health, wellbeing, and the quality of life of Pennsylvania’s older adults. Instead of being a fixed document, the plan will be fluid and change as the needs of

Pennsylvanians change. The goals, objectives, and initiatives contained in the Master Plan will need to be adapted over the span of 10 years, as we work towards a better Commonwealth for our aging population.

STEP Office of Aging is engaging in the planning process by asking local stakeholders to help define what will be included in the plan. This stakeholder engagement and data collection process will involve both in person listening sessions and information on how to access an extensive online survey. These efforts will gather the ideas and comments of community stakeholders and allow their voices to be heard.

STEP Office of Aging knows that people want to ‘age in place’. People want to continue to live in their communities and remain vibrant members of those communities. These listening sessions will be held locally and will be opportunities for us to record what you see is needed to age in the community you have worked so hard to build.

The Master Plan will be published on or before February 1, 2024. It will identify “quick wins,” aspirational goals, accountability and measurement, and resources for implementation. The Master Plan will include a process for ongoing monitoring of initiatives, and ways to measure their effectiveness in supporting its goals and objectives. A public facing, accessi-

ble, and transparent reporting platform is an important part of the process, so we can demonstrate how well the Commonwealth is performing against the Master Plan’s goals and objectives.

Access to the online survey developed by the University of Pittsburgh, along with information about the listening sessions, can be found in the STEP Office of Aging ad in this publication, on our website, and on our Facebook page. Your comments and ideas are the foundation of the Master Plan. We need to build a better Pennsylvania – one that is a good place to grow old!

Gilson Summer Snow Day 2023 Huge Success

Gilson Snow, a Winfield, PA-based company that designs and builds snowboards and skis, recently hosted their 2023 Summer Snow Day, and once again, it was awesome! The event is held annually at the facility grounds in New Berlin, but had to overcome significant adversity this year to pull the event together. In November of 2022, their manufacturing facility, which is affectionately known as “The Farm,” burned to the ground. The loss was devastating but

was certainly not the end of Gilson. The team quickly got to work not only to rebuild their factory but to celebrate their region. In addition to the success of its Summer Snow Day, the company is currently working on its new manufacturing facility that will be located just off Market Street in Selinsgrove, with more than four times the space of its previous facility. “We’re incredibly fortunate to have such an amazing community and team behind us, and we couldn’t be more excited to turn on our

new American manufacturing facility in September,” said Andrew Mikowski, Chief Revenue Officer of Gilson.

For those new to the Gilson Summer Snow Day — think part beerfest, part concert, and part sports festival. Food trucks were present to feed the hungry masses, and a Kids’ Zone included games, bounce houses, slides, and a play area. The event was also pet-friendly, with doggie water stations throughout the grounds. Athletic events included the Rail Jam and the Snow

Beast Challenge. For the Rail Jam, actual snow was brought in, and skiers and snowboarders competed on “Iron Mountain,” doing tricks and runs for over $2,000 in cash and prizes. The Snow Beast Challenge included mechanical bull riding for time, axe throwing, and the ever-popular keg toss, where, once again, Gabrielle Bellomo dominated, maxing out the height bar and drawing a crowd.

Vendors included a variety of artisans such as food trucks, wineries, breweries, cideries, and distilleries. There were also supporters giving demonstrations, selling crafts, and providing other products and services. One of the newcomers was Bermuda Ball, which is an innovative, triangular yard game. Think combination ski-

When asked how business was going, he responded, “booming.” Bermuda Ball, based in State College, is quickly becoming a staple yard game and is perfect for picnics, tailgating, and outdoor gatherings of any size. bermudaballllc.com.

Bald Birds Brewing and Four Birds Distilling Company were among the many craft breweries in attendance. Lori Walters, district sales manager, was repping many fine products and available for questions. (I may have also had a couple of samples during our interview. Purely research.)

Owners Joe and Abby Feerrar and the rest of the Bald Birds team are dedicated to creating the highest quality beer and serving it in an engaging, comfortable atmosphere. In addition to creating quality beer, they produce fine spirits through a sister company, Four Birds Distilling.

*Insider tip: Try their Royal Mosaic (cans only) if you’re a fan of IPAs or for something with a little higher ABV, the Italian Grandmother, an Italian dessert stout with hints of vanilla, chocolate, and coffee. Bald Birds Brewing has locations in Audubon, PA, and Jersey Shore, PA. Four Birds Distilling Co. is located in Havertown, PA, and Jersey Shore, Pa., along with baldbirdsbrewing.com and fourbirdsdistilling.com.

One of the returning vendors was The Hatchet House, located in downtown Williamsport. The Hatchet House is Lycoming County’s only axe-throwing venue and welcomes all ages. Manager Sophie Bit-

tenbender explained why it was important to participate in the Gilson Summer Snow Day this year. “We have been coming here the past couple of years, and we love promoting small businesses, but also, this year, all of our proceeds will go to the firefighters who helped Gilson when they had a fire. It’s a great cause, and we wanted to be a part of that.” The Hatchet House was also one of the sponsors of the Snow Beast Challenge, where points were tallied from three throws with both men’s and women’s categories. Top axe throwers received prizes. FYI, the Hatchet House is BYOB (Beer or Wine) and offers a variety of non-alcoholic drinks and food at their SNAXE Bar! PaHatchethouse.com.

Another veteran sponsor of the Summer Snow Day was the Keystone Wood Products Association (KWPA), which aims to strengthen and expand the base of lumber and wood products manufacturers in the Central Pennsylvania region. KWPA is a non-profit trade organization serving Centre, Clinton, Columbia, Juniata, Lycoming, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder, and Union counties. Stephanie Phillips-Taggart, marketing coordinator for KWPA, was kind enough to give an overview of the organization and explained the KWPA was formed in 2006 by a core group of lumber and wood companies. In addition, the $1.7 billion of production by the wood products industry accounts for 15% of the total manufacturing output of the region and 5% of the region’s total economy. The wood products industry also employs almost 12,000 people in the re-

gion and has a regional impact of approximately $2.3 billion. She went on to say that the organization’s goals include promoting career opportunities in the wood industry through education and partnerships and promoting sustainable forest management practices. keystonewoodpa.org.

One of the original vendors of the Gilson Summer Snow Day that was in attendance this year was Spyglass Ridge Winery and Three Beards Brewing. When asked why he and his companies were motivated to participate in the 2023 Gilson Summer Snow Day, owner Tom Webb responded, “Three Beards, I, along with Levi Strauss, part owner of the brewery, had supported the event even before Gilson had their Snow Day.” He said Three Beards was the

only brewery participating in the first couple of years. “Last year, we ran out of beer and had to get another five kegs. This event is fun for us and a way for us to get out of the office. We are not here selling anything or making money. This is just a fun day for us.” threebeardsbrew.com and spyglassridgewinery.com.

In spite of a factory fire earlier in the year, Gilson came through once again to celebrate the best of what this area has to offer and to show their appreciation to their employees, customers, and neighbors. As promised, this year’s event combined live entertainment with great food and drink. It was a way to bring the community together and remind everyone what a great and unique area we live in.

to a lifelong friendship. She loved basketball but tennis is where she excelled.

In 1938, Gibson was named New York City’s paddle tennis champion, which gained her a coach. Her appearance at that elite club in 1941 led to formal tennis lessons. The following year, she attracted the attention of two wealthy doctors who took her under their wings and smoothed her rough edges.

And then they set their sights on the big tournaments...

At a time in history when we see Black athletes on fields and courts as an everyday thing, it’s important to remember who helped put them there. Author Sally H. Jacobs tells the almost-forgotten story of one woman whose struggle to win

wasn’t just in her sport.

In that way, “Althea” is a very nice surprise. Jacobs doesn’t soften Gibson’s early lifestory and with that, readers will get a true sense of the steeliness that Gibson possessed even as a young girl. Other stories hint that Gibson was a complicated person, androgynous, “aggressive,” often angry, impatient, and driven. This, and the explanations of the game and the times and social mores in Gibson’s lifetime make it clear that not saying Gibson’s name in the same breath with Jackie Robinson and Jesse Owens is a grave mistake. Sports fans, don’t miss this biography. Black history scholars, you want it. Tennis lovers, there’s a lot of tennis here, so make a racquet for it. “Althea” is a grand slam.

SENIOR LIVING

Assisted Living Facility

Millions of seniors across the globe benefit from residing in assisted living facilities. Such facilities feature well-trained and highly skilled staffs that can help aging men and women live full lives even if they’re dealing with cognitive and/or mobility issues.

The benefits of assisted living facilities are undeniable, but certain spaces may be a better fit than others depending on an individual’s unique needs. Choosing a facility may be up to the individual who will ultimately move in, but such decisions also have a tendency to be family affairs. Adult children of aging men and women often help their parents find a facility, and the following are some strategies families can employ to find the right space for adults who need

some help with the tasks of everyday life.

Get some word-of-mouth recommendations. In its 2023 Local Care Survey, the National Council on Aging found that 63 percent of respondents utilized family and friends as a primary source of information on senior living options. Though it’s important that families recognize seniors have their own unique needs and certain facilities may be more experienced at handling certain conditions than others, word-of-mouth recommendations can still yield valuable insight into what life is like at a given facility. And such intel also can provide useful insight as to how well a facility is maintained and how much it prioritizes communication with family members. Decide where to look.

when choosing an assisted living facility. The NCOA notes that family members willing to drive 20 to 30 minutes outside of their immediate area may have more options to choose from than those who want something closer to home. When considering proximity, each family member involved in the decision should give thought to how likely they are to visit their loved one if the facility is a significant distance away from home. Assisted living facilities often go to great lengths to ensure residents socialize amongst each other, but seniors may feel there’s no substitute for visits from their own family members. So a facility that’s within a short drive of a resident’s relatives might make the best fit if all other boxes are checked.

Exercise due diligence. It’s best to visit as many facilities as possible before making a final decision. Such diligence can provide insight that can be highly valuable to any family, but especially those who have never before had a relative move into an assisted living facility. Families can visit multiple facilities even in urgent situations when seniors need immediate care. In such situations, enlist various adult family members to visit one or two facilities apiece, asking the same questions and

taking notes at each one. Notes can then be compared during group discussions. This approach is efficient and ensures as many options as possible are given consideration before a final decision must be made.

Work with a loved one’s physician. If a loved one has a unique condition like dementia or greatly limited mobility, then his or her physician should be consulted. For example, physicians may know of a facility or facilities that excel in handling residents with dementia, and that insight can increase the chances a loved one gets the level of care he or she needs and deserves.

Assisted living facilities provide an invaluable service. Finding the right facility for oneself or a family member can be made simpler with various strategies.

Five Ways to Show Seniors They’re Appreciated

Senior citizens account for a significant percentage of the overall population. Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau released in 2020 indicate the nation’s 65-and-older population had grown by more than one-third over the preceding decade. By 2050, the number of senior citizens is expected to be close to 90 million. As of 2021, Statistics Canada reported there were roughly 7.1 million persons age 65 and older living in Canada.

People are living longer than ever, and as individuals age, the demand for senior services continues to grow — as does the need to be patient and respect the elderly. There are many ways to show seniors just how much they’re appreciated.

1. Help with chores. Lend a hand with chores around the house that may have grown difficult for seniors. This can include mowing the lawn, weeding garden beds, shoveling snow, raking leaves, or even taking the garbage pails in and out on collection days.

2. Visit more often. Frequent visits are one of the simplest ways to show seniors you care. Whether seniors live in

Join

a private home or managed care facility, visitors brighten their days, especially if they no longer get out and about as frequently as they once did. Spending time together and sharing stories can bring smiles to the faces of older adults.

3. Plan activities with seniors in mind. When organizing parties and special events, consider the needs of seniors on the guest list. Add music from their era to playlists or DJ requests. Seat seniors with mobility issues near exits and restrooms. Make sure to arrange for photos with the guest of honor to keep family history alive.

4. Thank seniors. Find any reason to thank a senior. Perhaps someone served in the military or volunteered their time with children. Celebrate accomplishments big and small with a simple “thank you.”

5. Prepare a meal. Invite a special senior over for a home-cooked meal with the family. Make it a regular occurrence on the calendar. If he or she cannot get out easily, bring a hot meal over to his or her place, instead.

What to Know About AFib

Despite the importance of a healthy heart, diseases that a ect the heart remain the single greatest cause of death across the globe. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, claiming roughly 18 million lives each year. Various factors can adversely a ect how well the heart functions, and that includes irregular heart beat, also known as arrhythmia. Atrial brillation (AFib) is the most common form of arrhythmia, and it behooves anyone to gain a greater understanding of this condition.

What is AFib?

e Cleveland Clinic notes that AFib is an arrhythmia that begins in the upper chambers of the heart known as the atria. When a person has AFib, these chambers beat irregularly, and the American Heart Association reports that, when this occurs, blood pools in the area because not enough blood is being pumped out of the atria. at pooled blood can clot and pose a serious threat.

What happens if a blood clot forms?

e AHA notes that, if a clot forms, the blood can be pumped out of the heart to the brain, which blocks the blood supply to the brain and ultimately results in stroke. In fact, AHA data indicates between 15 and 20 percent of people who have strokes have AFib. In addition, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada reports that one-fourth of all strokes a ecting people 40 and older are caused by AFib. Does AFib produce symptoms?

e Cleveland Clinic notes that some people

with AFib experience no symptoms. Such is the case in people whose ventricles are beating at a normal or slightly elevated pace. When ventricles begin to beat faster, then individuals may experience symptoms that can include:

• Extreme fatigue

• Irregular heartbeat

• Heart palpitations

• Feeling of butter ies or sh opping in the chest

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Fainting

• Shortness of breath

• Chest pain

Can I lower my risk for AFib?

e AHA notes that adopting and maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle is the best way to control AFib risk. Such a lifestyle includes:

• Regular physical activity

• Adherence to a heart-healthy diet that is low in salt, saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol

• Controlling blood pressure, including management of high blood pressure

• Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol and ca eine

• Avoid smoking

• Maintain healthy cholesterol levels

• Maintain a healthy weight

Researchers behind a 2021 study published in the journal Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases note that AFib has sometimes been characterized as the cardiovascular epidemic of the twenty- rst century. Such a characterization underscores how signi cant a global health threat AFib can be. More information about AFib can be found at heart.org.

"I started this journey at Valley View Rehab & Nursing Center after a broken humerus. The programs designed specifically for me were very helpful. No one treatment plan is the same. This is what was needed for my success so I can go home.

Eric Foley, VVRNC Physical Therapist & Lavon “Vonnie” Hawley

All my family and friends who came to visit me were very impressed with this facility and the staff. The friendly staff, meals at the new cache, cleanliness, and the attentiveness of the nursing staff was wonderful. The Therapy staff was great! It is a nice place to get together and do some group activities with other residents. We have many groups to participate in including home safety, balance group, ADL, fall prevention, and milkshake group.

If I had to be anywhere other than home, I am so glad I am at Valley View Rehab & Nursing Center. It is truly a home away from home. I came into this facility with diminished use of my left arm due to a break. Now I am able to go home stronger than ever."

Symptoms Suggestive of Cataracts

Cataracts often affect aging individuals. The American Academy of Ophthalmology® says a cataract forms when the natural lens in the eye, which is responsible for refracting light rays that come in the eye to help a person see, becomes cloudy. As a result, vision can be compromised and seem like a person is looking through a foggy or dirty car windshield, says the AAO.

The National Eye Institute advises that cataracts are common as people get older. More than half of Americans age 80 years or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to remove cataracts. Cataracts may initially produce mild symptoms of blurry or hazy vision, or surroundings may seem less colorful. Over time, cataracts can lead to vision loss if not treated. The following are some common symptoms of cataracts:

• Cloudy or blurry vision that still occurs despite the usage of corrective prescription glasses or contact lenses

• Colors look faded

• Compromised night vision

• Halos appearing around lights

• Oncoming headlights, lamps, or sunlight seem too bright

• Double vision

• Frequent changes to visit prescriptions

Researchers have identified certain things that may contribute to the changes that occur in the lenses that lead to the formation of cataracts. Exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun or other sources is a

main risk factor. Diabetes, hypertension, obesity, smoking, prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, and other factors come into play as well.

All About Vision says cataracts can be broken down into various types, and some are much more common than others.

• Nuclear: These cataracts are the most common and form in the center of the lens, gradually worsening.

• Cortical: Cortical cataracts generally start as spoke-like opaque areas at the edges of the lens that grow inward. They tend to be responsible for more night glare.

• Congenital: Some people are born with cataracts.

• Trauma-induced: These cataracts form anywhere and often develop into a rosette shape.

• Post subcapsular cataracts: Initially developing at the central back surface of the lens, these cataracts often develop faster than other types. Vision around bright light and colors is affected.

Eye doctors generally diagnose cataracts during dilated eye exams. The NEI says anyone age 60 or older should get dilated eye exams every one to two years. Surgery may be recommended only at the point when cataracts start to severely interfere with daily activities. Until then, people can mitigate cataracts by updating eyeglass prescriptions, turning lights up when possible and wearing anti-glare sunglasses.

‘Showing Up Together’: WASD Resurrects Campaign to Promote School Attendance

Williamsport Area School District is resurrecting its “Be Present” campaign to raise awareness against and help mitigate chronic absenteeism. And the timing is just right.

September is national Attendance Awareness Month, and the district has worked through the summer months to reorganize and reenergize its pre-pandemic “Be Present” campaign messaging under the new 20232024 slogan, “Showing Up Together.”

“Families play a key role in making sure students access learning opportunities and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job,” said Dr. Brandon Pardoe, WASD’s director of student services. “It is our responsibility as a community to promote regular attendance. Regular

attendance is a significant predictor of graduation rates and employment.”

Nationally, an estimated 5 million to 7.5 million students are at risk academically each year because they are chronically absent — missing up to 10 percent or more of school days in excused and unexcused absences, according to report issued by Attendance Works.

“When families understand the negative effects of chronic absenteeism on realizing their hopes and dreams for their children, we can work on improving attendance in WASD,” Pardoe added. “Too many parents and students do not realize that just missing two days each month equates to missing 10 percent of the school year. Families need to realize that absenteeism becomes habitual over a period of time and leads to significant academic

deficiencies. Making school attendance a family-based regular routine in the early grades can influence their children’s chances of earning a high school diploma.”

Under amendments made to the Pennsylvania School Code (Act 138) in 2016, the state now “grades” districts on its attendance rates. As a result, the changes prompted WASD to re-work its own attendance policy in 2018. The district’s policy now stipulates “after three days of unlawful absences (including unexcused absences) within one school year, parents will receive a letter from their child’s school that outlines the consequences of habitual truancy and invites them to a School Attendance Improvement Conference.

Additional absences beyond the first three unlawful absences may result in a referral to a school-based attendance improvement program, referral to Lycoming County Children and Youth services, and/or a citation for violating compulsory attendance laws.”

Pardoe added the goal is to more broadly mobilize the Williamsport community behind “showing up together.”

By launching its promotional efforts this fall, including a partnership with the City of Williamsport and Lamar Advertising, the district hopes to motivate students and parents by showcasing the academic and social benefits of attending school on a regular basis.

Five Fun Facts About the Month of September

September marks a return to the norm for millions of households. School is back in session, summer vacation season has ended and fall begins. Routines take shape and life once again becomes more structured in September. As that transition takes place, individuals can consider these fun facts about the month of September.

1. Though Latin is no longer widely spoken or taught, plenty of words, including September, trace their origins to the language of ancient Rome and its empire. “Septem” is the Latin word for “seven,” and September was originally the seventh month of the Roman calendar.

2. Though the autumnal equinox, which marks the official beginning of fall, does not occur until later in the month, the unofficial end to summer occurs in the first weekend of September. Americans celebrate Labor Day and Canadians celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday in September, and millions of people in both countries consider that weekend the last hurrah for summer relaxation and revelry.

3. Labor Day is not the only holiday to be celebrated in September. In fact, Rosh Hashanah, a Jewish holiday that is often referred to as the “Jewish New Year,” also is celebrated in September in many years (the holiday occurs 163 days after the first day of Passover, so in certain years it is celebrated in early October). The Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur also can be celebrated in September or October, and

Constitution Day, which commemorates the adoption of the United States constitution in 1787, is celebrated on September 17. Patriot Day also occurs annually on September 11 and is a day to remember the people killed in the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.

4. Though its name might suggest otherwise, Oktoberfest actually begins in late September. Modern Oktoberfest celebrations, particularly those outside the Bavaria region of Germany, may have little to do with a marriage, but the festival traces its origins to the marriage of Kronprinz Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810. Citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities, and more than two centuries later that jovial atmosphere dominates the city, and countless others across the globe, during Oktoberfest.

5. Football fans circle the month of September on their calendars, as the month marks the return of the National Football League regular season. The reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs will host the Detroit Lions in the NFL Kickoff Game on September 7, and the rest of the league will take to the gridiron on September 10 and 11. That’s a big deal for millions of fans across the country, as the NFL remains wildly popular. In fact, an analysis by the Sports Business Journal found that per-game attendance averaged 69,442 fans in 2022, which marked the second-largest figure in 19 years.

The Roving Sportsman… Fall

Food Plots

By Jon Pries

Where has the time gone?

Summer seems to have slipped away as August is ending, and on September 23, fall officially begins! Several weeks ago, I did plant a fall blend of seeds to create several food plots for deer. The mix included wheat, rye, oats, winter peas, crimson clover, radish, collard, turnip, beets, and rape seeds. The deer have already been showing an interest in the production but will not really visit the sites in earnest until we get a hard frost. The blend of plants will tend to remain unpalatable until a good frost hits them; then, they turn from somewhat bitter to a sweet and attractive offering.

While it is a little late to plant that same blend for this coming fall production, a mix of grains can still be planted up to about the second or third week of September. Such a blend is the Ani-Logics CHRUSH Amazin’ Grains, which contains Forage Winter Wheat, Forage Oats, Triticale, Rye Grain, and Winter Peas. The great news is that once it starts to grow, this mix can be hunted over about 3-4 weeks after planting. While the general intent of most food plots is to provide a food source for deer, using

the same plot for fall and spring turkeys should be a consideration. The Amazin’ Grains mix will provide a food source that is attractive to both deer and turkeys; thus, both should visit it.

First, determine the size and location of the food plot or several food plots, depending on the layout of your property and the terrain you are working with. Usually, it is preferable to have several smaller size plots rather than one large one. Deer will tend to work the outside or edges of a plot, and if it is too large, they may never really use much of the center area. With smaller planting areas, the deer will tend to use all of the area, and with a smaller plot, there may be more places to set up blinds or tree stands around the food source, particularly near trails leading into the plot.

As always, once you locate your proposed plot, the next — and most critical — step is to do a soil sample analysis. Check with your County Ag Agent or the folks where you normally purchase lime, fertilizer, and seed for their guidance in doing this sampling properly. Based on the analysis results, it is important to adhere to the recommendations of lime and fertilizer applications for the maximum health and production of the crop or crops you plan to plant.

You may have to dodge some thunder-

Welcome to Lycoming Dental DR. BRADLEY VAN ESS

We are proud to announce that Dr. Bradley Van Ess, a General Dentist, joined Lycoming Dental Associates July 31, 2023. Dr. Bradley grew up in Montoursville, PA. He attended Loyalsock High School, then went on to Penn State University for his undergraduate degree and LECOM School of Dental medicine for his DMD degree. Dr. Bradley enjoys playing music (bass guitar) and skiing.

Dr. Bradley provides multiple dental services including fillings, root canals, extractions, crowns, dentures., pediatric treatment, and nitrous oxide.

Dr. Bradley is passionate about helping patients improve their oral health and achieve a beautiful smile, and is looking forward to meeting and treating our existing and New Patients.

storms or rain showers, which seems to be the normal weather pattern of late, but by starting the food plots now, you will have plenty of time to locate just where it will be most advantageous to place your ground blinds or tree stands. By strategically placing trail cameras around the food plot, you can zero in on which trails are being used for entry and exit of the feed sources and note the time of activity as well. You should be able to get the stands in place well before the hunting season begins.

Fall food plots are a great source of high protein and mineral feed for deer that will help them put on needed fat to make it through the coming winter months and will aid in maintaining a

healthier herd, from fawns and yearlings to mature does and bucks. The work you do now will pay off in the upcoming archery and rifle seasons and for many months and even years to follow.

Want to put in food plots but just don’t have the time or equipment? Well, you are in luck because I know of a young, energetic man named Tyler Martin who would love to help!

It’s no secret that I love fishing — fishing of all kinds — with a variety of equipment, and in a variety of situations.

Certainly, our local rivers, streams, and lakes are high on my priority list, but I also enjoy an afternoon on a pond from time to time.

There are a number of positives when it comes to pond fishing, and high on that list is that most ponds don’t get a lot of fishing pressure, even those on public lands.

It’s a must to get permission first before heading out to a private pond, but many farm pond owners will allow some fishing if you ask first. When I’m fishing in someone’s private pond, I return all fish; I’m there just for the fun of fishing.

Not only is there a lack of fishing pressure on most ponds, but there is seldom much activity of any kind to disturb the fishing. By this time of year, most lakes, especially those big enough to allow gas motors, are constantly being churned up by all sorts of watercraft, making it difficult to find a quiet bay to work your lures, and even small lakes these days

can become very busy with kayaks, canoes, and other small boats.

Of course, when it comes to pond fishing, you are probably going to be somewhat limited in your target fish since most ponds offer warm water fish only, such as bass, pickerel, bluegills, perch, catfish, and maybe crappies. Most ponds aren’t cold enough to offer trout fishing, but the list just mentioned is hardly a problem. In fact, some of my very best bluegill fishing has been on fairly small ponds.

I remember several years ago when fishing a small pond open to the public, I rigged my flyrod with a small popper and caught and released nearly 60 bluegills in hardly an hour — what a blast. Because most ponds are small and often surrounded by trees, wind is often not a problem, and a flat surface is great for presenting any number of surface lures.

A pond is also a great way to introduce kids to fishing since they can usually be fished fairly well right from the bank, and if you don’t have access to a boat,

this is a great way to get the kids on the water. A chunk of worm on a bobber can be a real treat for youngsters, and it’s a good way to get them started in fishing.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking, however, that pond fishing is just for a kid’s trip — not hardly. I’m just as serious about my fishing on a pond as I am on a lake or stream. Largemouth fishing on a pond can be very challenging but also rewarding.

Ponds by this time of the year are often pretty well plagued with lily pads and other weed growth, but what a great opportunity to work that weedless surface frog pattern. Heavy casting equipment is probably best in this situation, but the action can often be great. Dragging that frog over lily pads until it hits an opening, followed by a sudden explosion, makes it all worthwhile.

Ponds are also a great place to work any number of soft plastic worms, lizards, and creature baits. Texas-rigged or Carolina-rigged worms can be great producers on the weedy edges or deeper water since they handle the weeds well without hanging up. It’s also a great spot to work a weedless wacky worm.

It’s not just about the bass fishing, however, since small jigs fished with or

without a bobber can make for some pretty good action on bluegills, perch, and especially crappies if they are available.

Any way you look at it, an afternoon on a pond can be well worth the trip. And by the way — if you want to enjoy some good night fishing for bass with a surface lure, a pond is hard to beat.

As the planning for Bitburg, Germany’s 1973 Little League World Series team reunion began to unfold eighteen months ago, players began to look back with fondness and look ahead with eagerness to a return trip to Williamsport. It has been fifty years since they had experienced the magic of the World Series, and most of the 14 players had had little contact over the years with their one-time teammates.

What would later turn out to be a centerpiece of the team’s reunion visit was a radio broadcast tape recording of Bitburg’s 3-2 victory over Colonie, New York, in a consolation bracket game called by veteran Little League broadcaster Mike Fogarty.

The 50-year-old game broadcast tape was discovered by Bitburg team member Dan Thompkins, whose father had had it packed away at his home.

“My family rotated back to Langley AFB, Virginia, in 1976 while I was a sophomore in high school,” Thompkins explained. “When I left home to pursue my career, I left my saved items at my parent’s home. At the time, I did not realize my father, who attended the World Series, had gotten a reel-to-reel tape of our game against Colonie.

“My father retired in 1986 and settled

down in Illinois. During a visit, I stumbled onto that reel-to-reel tape. Neither of us had access to a reel-to-reel player, so we just packed it away. I later moved to Dallas and slowly started to move things I had stored at my parent’s house.

“When talk of our 50th reunion came up, I thought it would be a good idea to hear what was on the reel-to-reel tape. I found someone who could transfer the content of the old tape to disc. Listening to the game, I learned the play-by-play was done by Mike Fogarty with one of our team Dads, Pete Halden, father of team member Stuart Halden, helping him.

“Listening to the entire broadcast, it was apparent Mike and Pete were totally into the game. The excitement of the two of them made me want to try and meet Mike when I came to Williamsport for the reunion. I called Webb Weekly, and editor Steph Nordstrom and Scott Lowery helped to arrange a meeting with Mike.”

During the Series, Tompkins and Bitburg teammates Stuart Halden and Jeff Ralston shared a memorable visit with Fogarty. The Bitburg trio had never met the sportscaster whose voice they had only heard on the tape. Although Fogarty had never personally met the players, his play-byplay call was now a cherished memory for those Little League moments the reunion

was bringing back to life.

Fogarty’s eyes sparkled as he recalled that long-ago game as if it was played last week.

“I remember it well because most of the games played in that 1973 series were very lopsided, with Taiwan dominating with three straight perfect games. Bitburg’s game was fun because it was a Little League game, and it was exciting. Bitburg pulled it out with a run in the bottom of the sixth inning to win.”

As the visit ended, Fogarty was most appreciative of the trio’s visit. “It was a great morning. It was a lot of fun meeting new people and recalling some of the stories that were lived 50 years ago when these gentlemen came here as little leaguers. It was a real pleasure.”

Asked if he had ever thought about the effect his radio broadcasts had upon the

lives of others, his quick answer was a simple, “No.”

“I figured it just went out into the airwaves and got to other people. I enjoyed doing that and whatever pleasure it may have brought to other people along the way. Truly, it was my pleasure more than theirs. Having the opportunity to talk to those players and realize how special that radio broadcast was to them and what memories it has brought back to them as they gathered for their 50th World Series anniversary meant a lot to me.”

The 2023 Little League World Series is now in the record books. The Bitburg boys have returned to their respective homes, not sure if Williamsport will ever again be a part of their future. But they will long remember what they once did here, and Fogarty’s broadcast will now always be there to remind them.

Iwant to congratulate my friends at Little League International. e 2023

Little League World Series was o the charts. anks for another great experience.

e tournament gets better and better. Jensen and Grandpa Mike made it over to the complex on a few occasions. Hopefully, they will continue this tradition. We are all proud to say that we are from Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Hats o to the four teams that are still in contention. My deadline is Friday, and they have yet to play the Championship — best wishes to the squads from the Asian Paci c, Caribbean, California, and Texas. Regardless of what happens this weekend, you are all winners and fantastic representatives.

I watched many of the games on television. I am always impressed with the superb defense. ESPN does a fantastic job covering all of the action.

I also need to give some love to my chums who were on the radio. Splendid work, Gary, O’Malley, Ken, Scott,

Jamie Spencer

and Tom. I listened to you when I was driving north.

ere are so many behindthe-scenes good stories. My friends and I helped add some memories. A few of the uncles reached out, looking for a solid. ey needed a eld, and we responded. e boys from Fargo, North Dakota, met up with the guys from the Czech Republic for an afternoon friendly instead of playing the game at Volunteer or Lamade. e two teams drove up to Hepburn Lycoming. It was a fantastic game that went into extra innings. ere was a very sparse crowd, and the two squads enjoyed a picnic a erward. e smiles and interactions were contagious. Hopefully, there is room for a picture.

“It was an awesome experience,” North Dakota’s Will Korbl mentioned. “We got to know the team from the Czech Republic during the week, and it was fun to play against them. Meeting all the kids from di erent countries has been one of my favorites.”

Staying with baseball. e City of

TrueGrade Excavating

Williamsport and Lycoming College recently agreed upon a 25-year lease for a new collegiate baseball facility. Work is getting underway to revamp the existing Senior Field in Brandon Park just north of campus. I have seen the plans, and it looks amazing. Bravo to both parties on coming to an understanding. is is a great move for the city.

Lyco has committed to investing $2.5 million in capital in the ball eld, and completion of the rst phase of the project is expected to be completed for the spring 2024 season. Lycoming has worked with Derck & Edson architecture rm to ensure the eld enhances and preserves Brandon Park’s landscape, ensuring an enjoyable experience for fans and athletes at the park.

“

e Brandon Park project is one of the more signi cant commitments in the history of Lycoming athletics in many aspects,” Director of Athletics Mike Clark ‘93 said. “We are making a signi cant commitment to ensure the success of the baseball program, but also making a signi cant commitment to the athletic department. is project shows our continued commitment to the city, an important partnership that should ensure that Brandon Park remains ‘the crown jewel of Williamsport.’”

Kids are back in school. e Little League World Series is over. We now transition to the fall scholastic sports scene.

Looking forward to seeing you at some games. Cheers.
