Webb Weekly September 27, 2023

There’s no better time of year to get out and about and enjoy all the outdoors have to offer in our little neck of Penn’s Woods. And yes, my title is from Luke Bryan’s hit song. The lyric pretty much sums up how so many of us feel and only wish we had more time to enjoy all God’s green Earth has to offer.

A few serious notes before I move on to one of my favorite contests. First up, a simple one that gets complicated every hunting season. Please respect the property boundaries of your fellow man. If you don’t have permission to hunt somewhere, you shouldn’t be there. And I’m talking about seasonal permission, not that commonly used line; you talked to somebody 20 years ago, and they said I could hunt here. This can be followed by, even if you know you can hunt a property, a please and thank you followed up by, has anything changed this season, is the best way to go.

If you hunt within a club, state land, with a group, or do have permission to hunt private land, respect the boundar-

ies of the other hunters and landowner. I’m sure almost every hunter reading this has had somebody walk through an area or set up in a spot they were hunting. There is nothing more frustrating. Common sense, communication, and following the golden rule and applying it to hunting is the best way to avoid a problem.

The most important thing in regard to any kind of hunting is safety. This begins with securing and understanding the area you are hunting. Then, use common sense if any variables present themselves or if your instincts tell you something may not be right.

Now to our 16th Annual Webb Weekly Uncle Ron’s Monster Buck Contest. Which begins right along with the archery season this Saturday.

Our contest is named in remembrance of my Uncle Ron Maietta, who was an avid outdoorsman and battled MS for a good portion of his life. And for long time, Webb Weekly family member Ron Mingle, who retired from his normal duties but still oversees the Monster Buck Contest, his wife Steph battles MS

each and every day. My staff and I donate every year on behalf of all the hunters who enter to help find a cure for the disease.

I will give you my monster buck CliffsNotes version of the contest. Full details can be found on page54. I have always believed a trophy buck is in the hands of the holder. So, any legal buck taken in our neck of Penns Woods can be entered. By entering, you are automatically registered into our random rifle contest; thank you to Sauers Trading and the father/son duo of John and Don for handling all the legalities. They do a great job each and every year. Also, just by entering, you increase that donation made to battle MS.

There are 4 top winners, which will include our monster buck of the year. Runner up through fourth prize receives a $100 venison processing card from Stoltzfus Butcher in Mill Hall. They are a full-service venison processor and make some of the best products you’ll ever try.

First prize is a free shoulder mount, a $650 value, done by your favorite taxidermy man or woman. You may reg-

ister your trophy at Poust Taxidermy outside of Jersey Shore. Dana and Sam will do the initial scoring, a very simple process. You may also register at Sauers Trading in Southside. Again, it’s quick and easy. We use SCI standards, and the top bucks will advance for final official scoring.

Congratulations again to last year’s winner, Brandon Prosock, pictured above. His 12-point monster had an SCI scoring of 163.2 and edged out several other trophy whitetails.

I wish everybody good luck and great hunting. Remember, safety first, and respect your fellow hunters.

God Bless America.

From the Editor… Italian Penicillin

It’s officially fall, which means I have gone completely into stay home and cook mode. I made goulash this week and have chili on my mind for this weekend (well last weekend for y’all). The chillier weather just makes me crave comfort food. Pasta, soups and stews, I can’t resist any of it, and it’s some of my favorite food to make.

With kids being back to school, combined with dropping temps, that can only mean one thing — cold and flu season is also upon us. And what makes you feel better when you are down with the sniffles? Comfort food.

You see where I’m going with this right? You’ve skimmed the page, you know me well, I’ve got a recipe for you!

Chicken pastina, affectionately referred to as Italian Penicillin is my favorite alternative to traditional chicken noodle soup. It’s warm and rich and will help cure what ails ya. It’s also super simple to make, doesn’t require any fancy ingredients, or chopping, so if you aren’t feeling well, it’s easy to fix up.

So, without further ado…

Chicken Pastina (Italian Penicillin)

Ingredients:

• 1 carton (32 oz.) of chicken broth or stock (I prefer stock as it makes it richer)

• 4 eggs lightly beaten

• 4 cups of pastina (Acini di pepe), or other itty-bitty pasta

Bring your stock or broth to boil in a saucepan. (if you are in a pinch, you can use water, just make sure you salt the water well)

Add pastina and cook until most of the water is absorbed.

Turn off heat and stir in egg, letting it cook in the hot pasta.

Add butter, cheese and pepper. Eat slowly out of your favorite bowl with your favorite spoon.

When done, this will almost have the consistency of grits. It’s not a ‘soupy’ soup. Like I said, it’s rich and delicious and will certainly make being sick a little more tolerable. And since there isn’t a lot of work in it, you don’t have to overwork yourself when you already don’t feel well.

It’s great for the little ones too. With the tiny pasta, it’s great for everyone from toddlers to teens. If the rumors are to be believed, word on the street is that it will even help with the dreaded man cold.

• 4 TBS of butter

• a good handful of good Parmesan cheese

• Black pepper to taste

Directions:

Also, this recipe will make a goodsized batch of soup. But, I’m always here for you. You can make a decent sized single serving by just dividing everything by four.

The best news is you don’t even need to be sick to enjoy this. It’s a perfect quick easy dinner for any chilly night.

Military Appreciation Day One of the Highlights of the 168th Bloomsburg Fair

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Appreciation of the U.S.

Armed Forces will take front and center at the 168th edition of the Bloomsburg Fair when Military Appreciation Day is held at the Fair on Wednesday, September 27.

This day will include a variety of things that help to honor former and present military personnel, including free admission, various booths of useful information for veterans, and other related information.

“I asked Je Bayli if I could endorse him in an ad because I had worn hearing aids for twenty years and he is, without question, the very best hearing aid professional I have ever met. Scienti cally, Je is very capable, and personally, he is pleasant and very easy to deal with in all matters related to my hearing. I can now hear the turkeys and the ducks! Seeing Je Bayli for hearing aids related to experience, price and professionalism is worth the drive from Clinton, Lycoming and Centre Counties, or anywhere you may be reading this ad. Call Je for all your hearing aid needs!”

According to Fair officials, the Fair has been honoring our past and present military personnel with FREE admission for 25 Years. In the past, the Monday of the Fair was a Free Day. Last year, the Admissions Department requested that the Military Day be changed to Wednesday, providing the Military their own day — not to share with Senior Citizen Day. The Fair Board approved. Last year was the first year it was held on a Wednesday. The American Legion Post 273, Bloomsburg, sponsored Banners for the gates that read THANK YOU

FOR YOUR SERVICE. Those banners will be used again this year, along with our staff wearing sponsored shirts from Humara. The American Legion will also be sponsoring small flags that will be handed out to the vendors across the grounds to display that day.

Representative Robert Leadbeter has partnered with the Bloomsburg Fair this year for the First Annual Veterans Expo.

In conjunction with the Bloomsburg Fair Military Appreciation Day, the PA Department of Military and Veterans Affairs will host a town hall-style discussion as part of the “Let’s Talk Vet 2 Vet” series.

This has traveled across the commonwealth to provide service members, veterans, and their families access to a wide variety of resources through the designated Veterans Resource Expo, which is what we will have here at the fairgrounds behind the Education Building from 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m.

Then, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., attendees will have a unique opportunity to hear from key veteran advocates and programs that support veterans and

their caregivers through a panel discussion. The discussion will touch upon benefits, resources, and programs that can help the military-affiliated community, specifically bringing attention to programs that address selfcare and caregiver support. The Fair has had various things to offer this year, including various outstanding musical acts highlighting fair entertainment this year. These included Richard Marx, “I Love the 90s” featuring Vanilla Ice, Brantley Gilbert, and Zach Williams.

There is still plenty of free entertainment to be found in the remaining days of the fair. Some of the acts include Bat Out of Hell, (a Meatloaf tribute band), The Avalons, the Mahoney Brothers, Into the Spin, Philadelphia Freedom, (an Elton John tribute), 70s Flashback and Looker. Plus many more!

There will be motorized excitement when Dialed Action Sports-FMX, BMX, and MTB are featured on September 28. The Big Rig Series will take place on September 29. And a Championship Demolition Derby on September 30.

No fair would be complete without the usual variety of food vendors serving their classic fair food. And, of course, there will be a wide variety of craft and

merchandise vendors on hand as well.

The Bloomsburg Fair bills itself as the “Largest Agricultural Fair in Pennsylvania.” And following that theme, the wide variety of agricultural bounties of this state will be on display and competing in various contests. It will be a bonanza for those with an interest in all things agricultural.

And as always there will be plenty of games and rides for all ages on the midway.

Admission prices for the Fair are adults (13+) – $8.00, child (12 and under) –free. Parking is $5.00.

The Bloomsburg Fair runs until September 30. For further information, contact the fair office at 570-784-4949 or look for them online at www.bloomsburgfair.com.

County Hall Corner: The Other Police Force

By Larry Stout

Ever notice how drivers automatically slow down when they see a police car, even if it is on the opposite side of the road? Or how we barely notice people who walk by us on the street, but when a police officer walks by, we become very aware that they are there. Engaging a police officer, even in a very neutral way, has a sobering impact on the average law-abiding citizen. Yet, there is another police force that does not get that response. They also put their lives on the line; unfortunately, some have even died in that line of duty. They are known as Fire Police Officers.

This was brought to our attention locally with the unfortunate incident that occurred during the annual Lycoming County 9/11 Memorial Coalition Freedom Ride. South Williamsport fire policeman William Howlett was struck by a motorcycle and was hospitalized with serious injuries as a result.

Truth be told, it is more remarkable that this does not happen more often than it does. Fire Police are literally on the front lines of emergencies and other events. Their duties are required to provide traffic and safety control at fires, car crashes, and other fire department operations, which

would include protecting both firefighters

would include protecting both firefighters and emergency medical service personnel as well as bystanders and crowd control. What almost no one knows is that they really are Fire Police, which is not an honorary distinction but an actual position.

Pennsylvania Title 35 Section 7435 states, “Specific powers — when confirmed and sworn and displaying a badge of authority, special fire police shall have full power to regulate traffic and keep crowds under control at or in the vicinity of any fire on which their companies are in attendance and to exercise other police powers necessary to facilitate and prevent interference with the work of firemen in extinguishing fires. They shall also have the POLICE POWERS (my emphasis) necessary to perform their duties when functioning as

special fire police at any function, event, or parade conducted by and under the auspices of a volunteer fire company or another event, function or parade conducted by an organization other than a volunteer fire company, provided that the request to perform these duties is made by the governing body of the city, borough, town, township or home rule municipality in which the event will be conducted, or when accidents, floods or any other emergencies require performance of traffic-control and crowd-control duties.”

I know something about this personally, as I am an official Fire Policeman for the Clinton Township Fire Company. I took Fire Police I and II training (32 hours of in-class instruction) and was sworn in by the Clinton Township Supervisors in 2017. Like my fellow members, I have a badge on my fluorescent vest identifying me as an official officer, which I wear when I am on an emergency scene. To give just one example of my own experience, I was shopping at Surplus Outlet right off Route 15 and 54, and as I was going to my car in the parking lot, my phone app notified me that a severe auto accident had taken place about a mile from my location. I quickly drove to the scene, put on my vest, and presented myself to the state trooper, who had also just arrived. He positioned me about a quarter-mile up the road and told me to redirect traffic as the

accident involved two cars, one of which had flipped over sideways. Almost at the same time, the ambulance crew from my station arrived to deal with the injured drivers.

It was not a heavily used road, but there was traffic, and nobody was obeying the speed limit. I had to ensure that the drivers were stopped and, at the same time, avoid getting run over in the process. Once stopped, I had to explain to each and every driver the detour route that they must take, and while most were understanding, there were several who wanted me to get a full piece of their mind before following my directions. This went on for over two hours before the road was cleared enough for regular travel again.

There are many issues that arise beyond fires and auto accidents that require fire police. They include downed wires, flooded roads or bridges, crime scenes, crowd control at events, and perhaps most of all, protecting the firefighters, EMTs, police officers, and other emergency responders in every way possible so they can do their jobs.

We pray for your full recovery, Mr. Howlett, and thank you for your service to your community for so many years. May this terrible accident have some good come out of it — a reminder to all to respect and obey the directions of our local Fire Police officers.

Health is Like a Bank Account

Many years ago, I read a popular book called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. The book was about ethically producing results, and while I was not crazy about the book as a whole, I haven’t forgotten the simile Covey used, likening trust to a bank account. More recently, I have been using a similar concept where I have been teaching my clients and students that health is also like a bank account.

When it comes to money, most of us have to work and save throughout our lives, and then, if we’re fortunate, we have a nest egg to rely upon during retirement. Along the way, however, we all have to deal with things such as a mortgage, food, and utilities. We will also probably make some purchases along the way, like appliances and cars. Then, of course, there are the inescapable things such as taxes. All of which must be accounted for if that nest egg

is to last us our remaining years.

We can also use this concept when it comes to health. Every time we do something to benefit our health, such as eat healthy fruits and vegetables, get a full night of restful sleep, exercise, manage our stress — and so on, we are making deposits into our “health account.”

When we eat sweets or fast food, stay up late, watch too much TV, or don’t manage our stress, we make a withdrawal from our overall health account.

We also have to consider that at a certain point, usually in our 30s and 40s, we begin to decline physically. Somewhat later, our cognitive fitness also begins to decline.

These are the taxes I referred to earlier. Taxes will need to be paid no matter what and are constantly coming out of our account.

The key here is to make more depos-

LIVING WELL

its than withdrawals for as long as we can so we can build up our health nest egg for later years.

Why does this matter? Well, like not saving enough during our working years and running out of money in retirement, we can also run out of strength, stamina, and mental acuity. Unfortunately, some people go through their lives eating fast food daily, smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, and being generally sedentary only to reach their 60s and 70s in poor health. Their remaining years are probably few and are most likely of very poor quality. Many of these people are effectively waiting to die.

This scenario is largely preventable, however. Sure, some things like hereditary conditions and accidents are unavoidable. Still, most of the common causes of death in the US, such as heart disease, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes, are mitigated by “making deposits” into our health account.

The bottom line is that if we want to live longer AND maximize our quality of life, we need to start taking care of ourselves right now. We absolutely

cannot afford to wait another moment. Building the balance in our health account should be top of mind.

Our diets should consist of mainly non-starchy vegetables with some fruit and lean meats if you eat meat. Processed food should be avoided as it is generally high in trans fats, sugar, and salt and is low in nutrients and fiber. Alcohol should be limited, and if you smoke, stop.

Physical activity is of paramount importance. Turn off the TV and put down your phone. Get up and move. The old adage of use it or lose it is true in this case. Our bodies were made to move. If we want to be strong and active later in life, we need to be strong and active now.

Also, manage your stress. Get lots of quality sleep. Sleep is not a passive activity as it helps to heal the body and protect the brain.

Last, be social. Research has shown that strong interpersonal relationships have been linked to longevity and happiness. Remember, it is never too late to start building up your “health account.”

Five Ways to Get Your Pet Ready for Fall

Pets provide unconditional love to their companions; in return, it’s important to make sure they live happy and healthy lives by providing the best care possible. This means making sure that in addition to food, treats and toys, they receive daily care for their eyes, ears and overall health. With a desire to bring a dog into his family’s lives, Albert, a Bausch + Lomb employee, rescued a terrier mix named Watson. However, it soon became apparent Watson needed some extra love and care to help protect his eyes and ears from irritation and excess buildup. When finding a remedy proved difficult, Albert worked with veterinarians to develop Project Watson Health Care for Dogs, a comprehensive line of quality products targeting these specific areas.

To help ensure your furry member of the family has the best head to tail health possible, consider these tips. Schedule Regular Vet Visits

Routine wellness checks are an

essential part of your pet’s care. Annual screenings, even if your dog seems healthy, allow your veterinarian to provide vaccines to combat disease and uncover any health issues that may have otherwise gone undiagnosed until symptoms advanced.

Watch Your Pet’s Diet

Feeding your pet a proper diet based on his or her breed, age, size and lifestyle plays a big role in overall health. A balanced diet that includes high-quality food can lead to a shiny coat, healthy skin, bright eyes and may also help strengthen your pet’s immune system, maintain intestinal health, increase mental acuity,

See PET READY on Page 18

PET READY

regulate weight, keep muscles and joints healthy and more.

Support Clean Ears and Eyes

Often overlooked, the eyes and ears are vital areas to the overall health and wellness of your pet. To help keep these areas free of any buildup of bacteria that may cause irritation, consider an option like the line of Project Watson Health Care Products for Dogs, which includes an eye wash, eyelid wipe, ear wash, ear wipe and supplements made using high-quality and naturally inspired ingredients.

Excessive blinking or pawing at the eyes can be signs of buildup, irritation or infection. Dirt and debris trapped around the eyes can also clump in fur, leading to skin irritation and infections while excessive tear production can lead to fur staining, which can develop an unpleasant odor. Eye wipes can be used daily to relieve staining and remove excess buildup. Washing your dog’s ears may help reduce dirt, debris and wax buildup; help prevent itching; and

reduce the chance of infection while keeping ears smelling fresh.

Create an Exercise Routine

Walks, games in the backyard and social time with other pets can help keep your furry friend in good physical condition. While different breeds and species often have different needs, adequate activity can provide benefits beyond the physical, including reducing boredom, which can potentially lead to anxiety or destructive behaviors.

Prevent Pests

In addition to regular vaccinations, ensure your pet is up to date on parasite prevention. This includes fleas, ticks, mites, heartworm and more which can cause reactions ranging from mild to severe (or even fatal in some cases of heartworm or Lyme disease). Look for pests and skin abnormalities when grooming your pet and contact your vet if your pet excessively scratches, chews or licks his or her fur or ears, or persistently shakes his or her head.

It’s getting to be about that time. SpOoKy season. I know it’s only September, but when you are a Halloween lover like me, September 1 is game on for Halloween. It’s such a fun time of year! Now, let me get this straight, though. I love Halloween, yes. I love black cats, old batty witches with pointy noses, scary pumpkins, and bony skeletons. But I do not love haunted houses, fields of screams, or scary movies that make you jump out of your skin. “Hocus Pocus” and “Hubie Halloween” are more my speed. These are my two favorite Halloween movies. If you have never seen “Hubie Halloween” on Netflix, you have to watch it! Oh, my goodness, it’s so good! Hubie’s momma’s shirts are the BEST part of the movie.

I love the Halloween lights, candies, carving pumpkins, and dressing up for Halloween. It’s the one time of year you can be anyone you want to be, and it’s so fun! I love everything about Halloween except for the “scare you out of your pants stuff.” (NO, thank you.)

My love for this time of year has rubbed off on our daughter, Kenzy. She gets so excited for spooky season. When she was three and a half, she kept seeing Halloween lights in the car at night and thought they were Christmas lights. She would yell, “Miss Miss Lights!” We told her they weren’t Christmas lights but that some people decorate for Halloween. My husband worked third shift at the time, driving around leak detecting in Williamsport during the week. He saw how excited our daughter got when she saw these Halloween houses all lit up. So, each week, he would come home and say he found a new house that we had to go show Kenz some evening. This turned into a whole thing that we never expected.

This is where the love for Halloween started with our three-year-old little girl, and the tradition continues each year when we drive around and hunt for Halloween houses. Closer to Halloween, I’ll share some neat spots we have found over the years and continue to go

visit each Halloween season. Kenzy still gets just as excited as she did at three years old.

In August, Kenzy had an Amazon gift card and bought all these Halloween lights for in her bedroom. The following week, we went to Rust and Shine because she wanted to buy a light-up jack-o’lantern for her room. She found one and got a candy corn flicker light, too. I just thought it was the sweetest thing that at nine years old, she didn’t want to buy toys; she just wanted to buy stuff to make her room look “Halloween-y.” This time of year is just fun to be able to do things like this.

In the next few weeks, I’ll share things all fall & Halloween, including recipes and stories to share. I just can’t get enough of this time of year! Can you?

Narcotics, Murders, Asylums & Salt: More Weird Word Origins

By Joseph W. Smith III

Last week’s “Weird Words” tried to show that the unlikely field of etymology (word origins) is a lot more interesting than it sounds.

I mentioned, for example, that “goodbye” is a contraction of “God be with you,” and that “galaxy” has the Greek base “lact,” meaning milk — indicating the cloudy appearance of those starry hosts.

Here are 10 more weird etymologies to help prove my point. Keep in mind that meanings and spellings change drastically over many centuries — as in the examples above.

Assassin – Traditionally, a respelling of “hashshashin,” from the marijuana-related drug “hashish.” The hashshashins, or “Order of Assassins,” were ancient Middle Eastern terrorists who supposedly worked under the influence of this narcotic when executing their dastardly deeds.

Bedlam – A not-terribly-common

term meaning “chaos, uproar or confusion,” this is a shortening of the last word in “St. Mary of Bethlehem,” a famous lunatic asylum in London.

Bonfire – Literally “bone fire,” from the once-prevalent practice of funeral pyres. Happily, most of these backyard celebrations nowadays do not involve human remains.

Cancer – Believe it or not, the two meanings of this word — the disease and the zodiac sign — both connect to the word “crab.” In horoscopes, of course, the constellation in question has a crab-like shape. Similarly, the all-too-common illness was once thought to produce a pattern of swollen veins resembling this crustacean.

Canter – England’s Canterbury Cathedral, site of the martyrdom of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170, was a popular spot for pilgrimages throughout the Middle Ages. Taking several days, most travelers reached the church on horseback at a very

WORDS

slow trot, or “canter.” The word is a shortening of this famous shrine.

Clue – This term was originally spelled “clew” — a variant that appears in Huckleberry Finn. A “clew” is literally a ball, or ball of thread; its modern sense — something that helps solve a problem — comes from the use of yarn by the Greek hero Theseus in finding his way out of a famous labyrinth.

Handicap – While we no longer employ this once-standard term for special-needs folk, it does still apply to sports, especially golf. That use is related to the other meaning in the sense of a (dis)advantage or inequality; and this in turn goes back to a bartering method called “hand-incap,” for items that might have unequal value. The resulting monetary difference was placed into a hat, with the barterers putting in hands to seal or reject the deal. My description oversimplifies the process, but that is indeed where “handicap” originates.

Helicopter – In one of my favorite surprising derivations, this word is related to “pterodactyl.” That’s a flying dinosaur with claws on its wings

— literally “ptero” (Latin “wing”) plus “dactyl” (Greek “finger”). So the etymological break in “helicopter” does not come before “copter”; rather, the word combines “pter” with “helico,” a form of “helix,” meaning spiral. So “helicopter” is literally: “spiral wing.” Which is, of course, exactly what it has!

Nice – Through a linguistic process called “elevation,” in which a once-negative word becomes something more positive, this term emerged from the cancelling prefix “ne” (as in “negate”) added to the Latin base “sci,” meaning “know” (as in “science”). Thus, the word originally meant foolish or silly. I dunno; maybe stupid people are nicer?

Salary – Literally, “salt-money” — from the ancient practice of paying Roman soldiers money to buy much-needed salt to flavor and preserve their food. According to the related idiom, to earn a salary is to be “worth one’s salt.”

Next two weeks in “Weird Words”: animal etymologies — including ferret, canary, petrel, chameleon, and hippopotamus.

Prime Time ‘Neon’ Deion Sanders And Me

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

One of the sensations of the current college football season has been the performance of the Colorado Buffalos team, which has had several poor seasons lately. This year, they have jumped out to a 3-0 start. Their head coach is the flamboyant Deion Sanders, who may have been one of the best and most versatile two-sport athletes to come down the pike. He is the only person to play in a World Series and a Super Bowl. In 2011, he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Back in May 1989, I had a very interesting and rewarding encounter with this legendary athlete.

That year, I was assisting my late friend, Mike LeVan, coaching the Firefighters team of the East End Senior Little League. Sanders had been the Atlanta Falcons’ Number One Draft Pick in that year’s NFL draft and had a very colorful reputation. Our Firefighter players were very mindful

of him and his colorful persona, and he was a major topic of conversation among them.

Mike noted to me that Sanders that spring was playing for the Albany-Colonie Yankees of the Double-A Eastern League and would be coming to town with the team to play the Williamsport Bills.

When Albany came to town, Mike told me he would take a long shot and call Sanders at his hotel room at the former Holiday Inn on the Golden Strip to ask Deion if he would be interested in coming out to one of our practices and talk to our team.

Mike’s audacity did not surprise me because 18 years before, in 1971, he had started up correspondence with the mother of ‘Broadway’ Joe Namath, and managed to land an invitation to spend Christmas with the Namath family that year.

I was there when he called Deion but did not really expect an affirmative reply from him. I could see a broad smile break out on Mike’s face

and realize he had hit pay dirt. Deion said he would be willing to come out to our practice but would first need the permission of his skipper, Carl “Stump” Merrill. He was able to obtain that permission.

Mike and I went down to pick up Deion in my car. Mike believed I had a nicer car and felt that Deion rated a ride in a more upscale car such as the one I had at the time.

We got to the Holiday Inn, and Deion gave us a restrained but friendly greeting, and we headed off to Cochran Elementary School, where we held most of our team practices.

I have been razzed through the years by my friends about the quality of my driving. Some of them said that I didn’t park a car; I just abandoned it. So, Deion may have been taking his life in his hands riding with me. A thought crossed my mind that if we got in an accident and I ruined Deion’s career with an injury, he would most certainly sue me, and I would be in debtor’s prison for the rest of my life; fortunately, there were no mishaps.

a pleasant conversation with Deion. He asked us how our team was doing and if we had any “real good” players on the team, and that he was looking forward to showing his “stuff” to the Falcons.

When we arrived at Cochran and Deion emerged from my car, he was greeted with looks of wide-eyed wonder from our ballplayers, who looked genuinely thrilled. There was also a plethora of media on hand as well, from George Jansson of the GRIT to Gary Chrisman from KISS-FM and film crews from WNEP and WBRE.

FIND RELIEF FROM VARICOSE VEINS.

There’s more to varicose veins than meets the eye.

We gathered around Deion, and he proceeded to give the team an inspirational talk about how they could achieve anything if they stayed in school and applied themselves. He said the shiny things they wanted for themselves would not be possible without hard work. He also imparted an anti-drug component into his talk, saying that involvement with drugs would ruin their dreams and their lives.

wished them luck as he left, and I took him up to Bowman Field for that evening’s game against the Bills. He thanked Mike and I for inviting him to talk to our players and wished us well.

That season for the Albany Yankees, Sanders appeared in 33 games; he batted .286, with one homer and six RBIs. He would, of course, go on to an outstanding career in the NFL and a fairly good stint in baseball as well; in 1997, he led the National League in triples with 14. His football career

with the Falcons, 49ers, Cowboys, and Redskins culminated in his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Deion cultivated an image as a real showboat and never hesitated to call attention to himself, and I admit I was not always comfortable with these displays. But I saw a very different side of him and will always regard him with a sense of admiration and fondness because of my encounter with him and the impact he made on about a dozen young men in May 1989.

Fight Hunger with Family Meals Support

community members in need

With hectic day-to-day schedules and varying dietary needs, many families face the dreaded daily question: “What sounds good for dinner?” In contrast, millions struggle to put food on the table each night, impacting about 1 in 8 children, according to Feeding America.

You can help support those in need through Safeway and Albertsons’

“Fight Hunger, Serve Hope” cause program - an initiative to fight hunger in local communities during summer months when households with schoolaged children face higher rates of food insecurity. The company’s private label will donate one meal for every (r) product purchased, up to $7 million and the equivalent of 28 million meals. Donations will be made to Nourishing Neighbors, a program of Albertsons Companies Foundation, to fund grants dedicated to providing healthy meals for at-risk youth throughout the summer.

“While summertime sparks excitement for countless students, it also marks the unfortunate reality that millions of children face when they lose access to school cafeteria lunches and

breakfasts they depend on throughout the school year,” said Jennifer Saenz, EVP and chief merchandising officer at Albertsons Companies. “As a company, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of children in need. For the first time, we are making it easier than ever for our customers to support this mission by connecting each purchase of our brand to hunger relief efforts in the communities we serve.”

Following the campaign period, families looking to help in their communities can give back in a variety of ways.

Donate Canned Goods

Once school is in session, many classrooms participate in canned food drives for a variety of causes while serving a dual purpose: feeding those in need and teaching children the importance of giving back. Sending your students to school with canned goods can show

them the value of helping others and instill a sense of responsibility.

Volunteer at a Food Pantry

Sharing valuable resources like canned goods helps make a difference in communities, but local food pantries also need willing volunteers to sort and distribute food, among other duties. It can provide a unique sense of perspective as you meet other volunteers, improve the lives of people in your community and gain new skills.

Promote the Power of Family Meals

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or all three, sharing a meal with neighbors can be a powerful moment. It provides an opportunity to connect while

enjoying easy-to-make recipes like Ribeye Steak, Grape Tomato and Mushroom Kebabs; Grilled Chicken Salad with Goat Cheese, Fresh Raspberries and Pecans; and Mixed Berry-Lime Smoothie Bowl with Banana and Granola.

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

Ageless Fall Trends

There is a 28-year age difference between myself and my mother, but despite the generational divide, we tend to gravitate toward similar items because true style knows no age or age limit. We also both love fall, and are always happy to welcome back sweater weather. Here are the five trends we’re both eyeing up that anyone can wear at any age.

Bernadette Ulsamer

Red is this season’s “it” color and is generally a timeless hue. Red is also a universal color for men, women, boys, girls, pets, for everyone really. Sure, you can do a whole headto-toe red ensemble, but that can be tricky to pull off. Instead, find the shade of red that works best for you and pick one or two red items. For fall, I’m gravitating toward red in cardigans and ballet flats. Over at Macy’s, they have red sweaters for everyone in the family. X-Ray

SaturdayAugust26th,20239:00A.M.

Men’s basic ribbed cardigan in a darker “jester” red, Lands’ End School Uniform Women’s zip-front sweater in red, and Lands’ End Child School Uniform button-front cardigan will have the whole crew outfitted in this on-trend shade. For mom and me, we’re also interested in tailored blazers, which are ideal for elevating a simple silhouette. A blazer, a top, jeans, a tee, and sneakers give a bit of polish to on-the-go looks. They can lend an academic air to an office outfit and create interesting contrast when worn with a dress and boots. Banana Republic Factory has a great Pique Band-Collared Blazer in navy on sale. Old Navy is featuring a Notched-Collar Pixie blazer, which looks great for layering with a turtleneck for now and under a heavier coat as the season progresses. Of course, no fall wardrobe would be complete without a cozy knit.

Oversize styles go great with trousers or jeans for any generation.

Zara’s Interwoven Knit Sweater in black gives off a slinky appeal as it hits below the hips and would pair seamlessly with skinny jeans. H&M’s Knit Dress in cream or black stripes can flatter at any age with opaque hosiery and loafers.

If you’re brave enough for a more edgy take on fall trends, then consider a relaxed leather jacket. A looser silhouette is less work than a more fitted or biker-style jacket and gives off a cool but accessible vibe. Take Levi’s Faux Leather “Dad” Jacket with elastic trim on the cuffs and hem for a cozier version of this tougher outwear. Or BP’s Oversize Faux Leather Jacket, or better yet, go searching for a vintage version at a thrift shop. You can throw a leather jacket over any outfit for a coolmom look or, in my mother’s case, a cool-grandma.

Lastly, dark jeans. A deep indigo wash on jeans appears more polished than lighter washes and flatters, no matter your age. Madewell’s

Plus Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg Jean has a retro feel with patch front pockets with a modern stretchy denim for a sleek fit. Younger folks can pair these higher-rise jeans with a cropped sweater and clogs, while the more veteran ladies can opt for a button-down and sneakers. Or try Gap’s High Rise 70’s Flare Jeans with a flirty blouse and heels or a cami and the red cardigan from above for a sophisticated but not fussy going-out outfit.

All of these trends are highly wearable and interchangeable. You can wear the same trouser and blouse with a cardigan and sneakers on the weekend, a tailored blazer and loafers for the week, and then a leather jacket and boots at night. Pair your cozy knit with dark jeans, or swap out the jeans for a maxi skirt and leather jacket. The styling possibilities are as endless as the foliage-covered hills and just as enticing. And the best part is that all of these trends are just as stylish whether you’re a middle-aged mom, a septuagenarian, or an early 30-something!

Official, Police War on Birds in Park

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Councilman Charles E. Steiger declared war on Brandon Park’s bird colony last night and peppered their meeting places with “shot” in unheralded “raid.”

Declaring the thousands of birds that make the park’s trees their home a “nuisance,” Mr. Steiger and two police officers swooped down on the park and fired away.

Councilman Steiger went to the park about 8 o’clock with two police officers, and used flares to chase all types of birds from the trees. The flares of the Roman candle type, are about 24 inches long, and 15 shots in each. The flares are shot into the trees to chase the birds.

The flares, Mr. Steiger reported, do not kill the birds, but frighten them to the extent that they won’t come back, he hopes.

Last night as the birds were being chased, they would go to other trees. Mr. Steiger and Patrolmen John F. Reiff and Raymond O. Kontz followed the flocks and then would send flares into the trees.

At 8:30 o’clock neither Mr. Steiger nor the patrolmen were able to find any more birds in the park. Both Councilman Steiger and police have received many reports of the nuisance in the park the birds have created.

About 20 such type flares were used in the chasing of the birds. Mr. Steiger said they have been used successfully in other cities.

“This Boy: The Early Lives of John Lennon & Paul McCartney” by Ilene Cooper c.2023, Viking $17.99

184 pages

You can almost hear the cheering.

You’ll have a lot of fans once you’re famous, and they’ll be wild to see you in person. You can imagine them reaching for you, begging you to touch their outstretched fingers, to touch their lives for just a minute. In your imagination, the stage is yours. In the new book “This Boy: The Early Lives of John Lennon & Paul McCartney” by Ilene Cooper, so is the audience. England and Germany had been at war since 1939, and blackouts kept the nights dark everywhere — especially in the seaport city of Liverpool. It was into this world that

John Winston Lennon was born in the fall of 1940.

Young John’s parents were both musically-minded: his mother loved to sing, and his father was a talented player of several instruments. Alas, when John was nearly five years old, his home life became unbearable, and he was sent to live with his Aunt Mimi, who was said to have “wanted John” from the moment he was born. Mimi and her husband, George, gave John the stability he needed, and they nurtured his interests, including that of the guitar.

Surprisingly, not too far away, Paul McCartney was growing up with an interest in music, too.

Nearly two years younger than John, Paul’s home life meant that the family moved often, but he had both parents around. It was Paul’s father who urged the lad to take up a musical instrument so he’d “always be invited to” parties.

Though they’d often traveled the

same streets, the boys were teenagers when they finally met. John had already formed a skiffle band with friends. Paul went to see them perform, and he was less than impressed. He figured he was a better musician than the lot of them.

John, says Cooper, thought about inviting Paul to join the band, but he had a dilemma.

He wondered “what it would take to keep Paul in line.”

If you’re an adult reader, you may be excited about this book, but you might also wonder about its relevance for an intended audience of middle-graders. Will a kid care about a guy who’s been dead more than forty (forty!!) years and a guy who’s older than their grandpa?

The answer is, well, yes.

With McCartney’s appearance on the new Stones album and the resurgence of Lennon’s music, “This Boy” is as relevant as ever — maybe even more so to young musicians and music lovers since that’s music they grew up with. Author Ilene Cooper tells the tale of Lennon

& McCartney, focusing on a time frame that kids can identify with; she also includes enough back story to give young readers a good idea of how these two guitarists got their starts.

Going further, Cooper touches upon The Beatles, but not so that it distracts from the main reason for this book. That keeps this tale one that kids ten and up will enjoy, but that adult fans will want, too. “This Boy” is a book you’ll both cheer for.

WAHS Senior Commended Student in National Merit® Scholarship Program

Williamsport Area

High School senior Sam Radulski has been named a Commended Student in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®), which conducts the program, was presented by Head Principal Dr. Justin Ross to this scholastically talented senior.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2024 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers who entered the 2024 competition by taking the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).

“Those being named Commend-

ed Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commended a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development. Is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”

TouchTunes Spotlights PA Nonprofit

usic is powerful, healing, provides comfort, brings people together, and much more. During the month of September, TouchTunes Jukeboxes is spotlighting the Angelina’s Song Foundation in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

“Angelina’s Song is honored to be featured by TouchTunes this month to help share the importance of not just music therapy but to shine a light on pediatric cancer,” said Nicole Miele, President and Founder of Angelina’s Song which is based out of Muncy, PA. “Every day, 43 children in the U.S. alone are diagnosed with cancer and the treatments the kids undergo can be difficult for them and their families. Our foundation helps make that process a little easier.”

The namesake foundation honors the late Angelina Miele who was diagnosed with a form of pediatric cancer known as Synovial Sarcoma at the age of 10.

During her stays at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), music became an outlet of joy and expression. Together Angelina and her family found comfort through Music Therapy. The days CHOP’s music therapists would visit could change a boring day into a memorable day as the family played instruments, laughed, and bonded. Music also is a beautiful distraction from treatments, illness, and uncertainty.

Today, her love of music, generous heart, and legacy lives through Angelina’s Song.

The foundation inspires others by sharing the power of music. Angelina’s Song provides grants to children’s hospitals nationwide to support music therapy programming, provides scholarships for students pursuing music therapy, and annually contributes to the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation to fund research.

TouchTunes was inspired by Angelina’s story and became a corporate sponsor to help share the power

of music nationwide. The jukebox company debuted the “Angelina” jukebox which is in locations like restaurants, bars, and social clubs. Many local establishments have taken Angelina’s Pledge which donates a portion of jukebox plays to the foundation.

To raise money and awareness for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, TouchTunes is donating a portion of all jukebox song play nationwide during September to Angelina’s Song. On every jukebox

home screen there is the Angelina’s Song playlist which features some of Angelina’s favorite songs and a splash-screen to learn more about the foundation’s mission.

During the month of September, anyone can help share the power of music by listening to their favorite song, or one of Angelina’s at any location with a TouchTunes jukebox. Angelina’s Song is based in Muncy, PA, and is an IRS approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. To donate, visit AngelinasSong.org/Donate.

The Origins of Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is a celebration that transcends geographical boundaries. Much like people in various pockets of the globe celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo even if they have little or no connection to Ireland or Mexico, respectively, Bavarian heritage is not a prerequisite for participation in Oktoberfest revelry.

According to Oktoberfest.de, each year millions of people are attracted to the festival of Oktoberfest. It’s not hard to see why so many people attend Oktoberfest, which is synonymous with fun, food, music, and, of course, beer. But the chance to engage in what might be best characterized as living history undoubtedly is part of the appeal of Oktoberfest as well. Oktoberfest is indeed steeped in tradition, and understanding the history of the beloved festival can make the celebration even more enjoyable.

The first Oktoberfest occurred as part of a wedding. Kronprinz Ludwig of Bavaria, who later became King Ludwig I, was set to marry Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810. The couple’s nuptials were

deemed a cause for great celebration, and a horse race was held in their honor on October 17. The inspiration for the races and the subsequent celebration of Oktoberfest remains a topic of debate. But there’s no debating that Ludwig’s decision to invite the people of Munich to join in the festivities had a lasting effect, inspiring many of the city’s wealthiest residents to decorate the city. But even the less well-to-do joined in the celebrations. In fact, according to Oktoberfest-guide.com, 32,065 buns; 3,922 pounds of swiss cheese; 400 kilos of mutton; 8,120 cervelat sausages; and 13,300 pairs of smoked sausage were distributed for free. Alcohol and music also featured prominently during the inaugural Oktoberfest, as 232 hectoliters of beer and four hectoliters of Austrian white

wine were served during a celebration that also featured 150 musicians. Though the festive atmosphere of Oktoberfest is known across the globe, the celebration has not been without its tragic moments. For example, Oktoberfest 1980 was shaken by a bomb that exploded at the festival entrance on September 25. Thirteen people were killed and more than 200 were injured, and the bombing remains under investigation more than 40 years later. World wars also affected the beloved festival, which was suspended between 1914 to 1918 due to World

War I and then again from 1939 to 1945 due to World War II. The years immediately following both wars also featured toned down events that were not characterized as Oktoberfest but rather autumn celebrations.

Oktoberfest remains a popular celebration more than 200 years after the inaugural event. Though devotees insist nothing can match the annual celebration in Munich, those who can’t make it to Germany can likely find some Oktoberfest festivities close to home, wherever that home happens to be.

Our hearts are amazing organs, and we can often take them for granted. They steadily pump away, rhythmically beating life into our bodies. But what happens when your heartbeat becomes irregular, erratic, or even skips a beat? These incidents are called heart palpitations, and for most people, heart palpitations are a once-in-a-blue-moon occurrence. However, some may have dozens of these heart flutters a day, sometimes so intense that they are mistaken for a heart attack.

A recurring abnormal heartbeat is often due to an underlying abnormal heart rhythm known as an arrhythmia. It is therefore important to have heart palpitations evaluated by a medical professional. Most palpitations are caused by a harmless hiccup in the heart’s rhythm. But these minor hiccups may be a sign of a problem in the heart or elsewhere in the body.

During an arrhythmia, the heart either beats too slow (bradycardia), too fast (tachycardia), or irregularly (atrial fibrillation). Almost everyone experiences an occasional skipped heartbeat, fluttering, or racing heartbeat. While most events are harmless, some people have arrhythmias that are bothersome and sometimes dangerous.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Palpitations and arrythmias can appear out of the blue and disappear just as suddenly. They can be linked with certain activities, events, or emotions and have various other triggers including dehydration, low blood sugar, and too much alcohol or caffeine. The problem with diagnosing palpitations or arrythmias is that the noticeable rhythm change and symptoms usually subside by the time you get

to the doctor’s office. One of the most helpful pieces of information is your story of how your heart palpitations feel, how often and when they strike — so be sure to record that information for your doctor.

A physical exam may reveal some signs as to what is causing your heart condition. Your doctor may hear a murmur or other sound when listening to your heart that suggests a problem with one of the heart’s valves. Your doctor may also order blood tests if he or she suspects a thyroid imbalance, anemia, low potassium, or other problems that can cause or contribute to heart rhythm disorders.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a standard tool for evaluating the heart’s rhythm. This recording of your heart’s electrical activity shows the heart’s rhythm and any overt or subtle disturbances, but only over the course of 10 seconds or so. Your doctor may order additional testing to record your heart for longer periods of time using a mobile ECG called a Holter monitor. These units are battery powered and worn on the body for 24 to 48 hours, sometimes longer, so that your doctor can see and compare your heart activity throughout the period.

If your palpitations or arrythmia comes with chest pain, your doctor may want you to have an exercise stress test. An exercise stress test is used to determine how well your heart responds during times when it’s working its hardest. During the test, you’ll be asked to exercise — typically on a treadmill — while you’re hooked up to an electrocardiogram (EKG) machine. This allows your doctor to monitor your heart rate.

With early intervention, you and your doctor may be able to reduce your risk for stroke, blood clots, and other heart-related complications due to heart rhythm disorders. Treatments come in a variety of

forms depending on the cause and seriousness of your condition. Some people benefit from simple lifestyle modifications and at-home therapies such as deep breathing and meditation, while others may require medications, medical devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, or surgical procedures.

Medicines can slow your heart rate or reduce the risk of clots. Cardioversion uses electricity to instantly shock the heart back into a normal rhythm, but the irregular heart rhythm may still return. An ablation is more invasive but often helps maintain a normal heart rhythm long term. This minimally invasive procedure uses a catheter to access the heart through a vein in your leg to burn (or freeze) the tissue that is causing the abnormal heart rhythm. Implanted devices, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and the Watchman™, are also sometimes needed to treat arrhythmias.

Living with a Heart Rhythm Disorder

Lifestyle changes can make a significant difference in those living with heart rhythm disorders. Some tips for maintaining a heart healthy lifestyle include:

– Achieve a healthy weight. It may not be easy, but weight loss/maintaining an ideal body weight has been correlated to decreased episodes of A-Fib and other rhythm disorders. It also can increase effectiveness of treatment options and may prevent or improve other health conditions, like high blood pressure and diabetes.

– Exercise regularly. As always, speak with your doctor prior to starting any new workout program. Most light cardio exercises (Ex. walking, swimming, biking) are beneficial to your heart health.

– Adopt a heart healthy diet. Swap a burger for lean protein, white flour for whole grains, and sugar-filled desserts for fresh fruit. Reducing intake of sugar, saturated fat, trans fats, and salt may improve or prevent other health conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

– Decrease caffeine intake. Caffeine is a stimulant that may make your heart race and can be a trig-

ger. Limiting caffeine intake is important. Look for caffeine sources in your diet that can be decreased or eliminated, including coffee, tea, soda, energy drinks, and chocolate.

– Limit alcohol intake. Regular, moderate-to-heavy consumption of alcohol, including binge drinking, can trigger rhythm disorders. Additionally, significant alcohol consumption has been attributed to other health problems, including high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and weakened heart muscle (cardiomyopathy).

– Improve your sleeping habits. Undiagnosed or untreated sleep apnea may trigger A-Fib and other disorders and make treatment options less effective. A sleep study is often recommended in patients with rhythm disorders. If you don’t feel rested in the morning or have excessive daytime sleepiness, make an appointment with your health care provider.

– Manage stress. Although it may be impossible to eliminate stress from daily life, it can be managed more effectively. Walking, gentle yoga, deep breathing, and meditation are all ways to help decrease stress and anxiety.

Don’t Delay When It’s a Matter of the Heart

Delaying care can have devastating consequences to your health, as time is one of the biggest factors with treating and potentially overcoming the effects of cardiovascular emergencies. If you are experiencing mild symptoms related to heart palpitations or arrythmia – racing heart, dizziness, or fainting – call your doctor. If you or a loved one are experiencing heart attack symptoms including shortness of breath, sharp pain in the chest or back, or a tingling sensation in your arm, don’t delay treatment – call 911 immediately. Even when the signs are subtle, the consequences can be deadly, especially if treatment is delayed. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and seeking care quickly go a long way to potentially improving your outcome.

Pennsylvania Fall Hunting Opportunities

By Jon Pries

The ever-shortening days and the cooler temperatures are clear indicators that we have finally entered the fall season. With that come the various hunting opportunities within our state. Sure, many hunters daydream about hearing a bull elk bugle across a mountain meadow in the Rocky Mountains or pursuing big game in the great state of Alaska, but with the current rate of inflation and particularly the high price of gasoline, the small and big game hunting right here in Pennsylvania is more and more appealing! With the wide variety of game and the numerous seasons, there will be plenty of chances to spend quality time hunting at home and putting lots of meat in the freezer for the coming months.

The squirrel season has been in full swing statewide since September 9 and runs through November 24, with two

additional seasons occurring over the winter months. With a daily limit of 6 and a possession limit of 18, squirrels provide an excellent opportunity for early fall hunting and the perfect scenario for mentoring youth or adults. While squirrel hunting is not as popular as it once was, it remains one of the best opportunities to spend time teaching a new hunter about all facets of hunting safety, ethics, and responsibilities, along with the importance of patience, staying alert, and learning from watching other forms of wildlife. As a bonus, one of the most memorable and quite delicious aspects of squirrel hunting is the making of “squirrel pot pie” in an old cast iron Dutch oven.

Throughout the month of October, the statewide seasons for ruffed grouse, rabbit, and pheasant will open. While each of these species of game has its own ap-

See HUNTING on Page 56

HUNTING

peal, hunting any of them is so much more enjoyable when you have the opportunity to hunt with a well-trained dog. It is truly a thrill to watch a pointer lock up and go on point when it zeroes in on a pheasant or grouse. The sound of a beagle baying as it trails behind a cottontail rabbit is one you will always remember with a smile once you have heard it in the field!

Big game hunting begins this coming Saturday, September 30, in the form of archery deer hunting. The season continues until November 17, with an added day of Sunday archery deer hunting on Sunday, November 12. The muzzleloader antlerless-only season runs from October 14 to October 21, and a Junior-Senior special firearms antlerless-only season is held from October 19-21. The regular firearms season begins on November 25 and goes until December 9, with a day of Sunday hunting on Sunday, November 26. Finally, the flintlock antlered and antlerless season occurs from December 26 to January 15.

Fall turkey hunters can pursue both hens and gobblers beginning October 31 and ending on various dates, depending on the WMU. In order to increase your chances for fall turkeys, follow the food sources. Recently cut corn fields or freshly producing oak trees, especially white oaks, are excellent locations, along with

areas of wild grape vines, as well as water sources, such as brooks, streams, and ponds, are a good bet as well.

Finally, the fall hunting seasons include ample opportunities to hunt black bear throughout the state. The regular statewide firearms season is a four-day season from Saturday, November 18 to Tuesday, November 21 — this includes another Sunday hunting opportunity for this year’s hunters — Sunday, November 19. Statewide, there is also a season to pursue black bear with archery equipment, and it runs from October 14 to November 4. Concurrently, a muzzleloader bear season is held statewide from October 14 to 21, and this year, during the special Junior and Senior special antlerless deer firearms season of October 19-21, a black bear is also legal game.

The additional seasons for some species and the Sunday hunting opportunities will add to your chances for success this fall. Whether you prefer hunting upland small game or one of the big game species, this fall should be a banner harvest. Take advantage of all of these opportunities to “bring home the bacon” — or, in this case, the wild game meats! You not only have the chance to get outside and enjoy some quality time in the outdoors but there can be no healthier dinner fare than that provided by any of the wild game we hunt right here in Pennsylvania.

State Game Lands Tours

Roll the windows down, enjoy the scenery and breathe in the fresh air.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission’s driving tours through state game lands are just up the road.

The tours provide a good example of the opportunities available on game lands statewide, while showcasing how habitat work being done on these tracts benefit wildlife. All tours are free, held rain or shine and open only to vehicles licensed for travel on public roads.

Sunday, Oct. 1: State Game Lands 12, Bradford County, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. – This tour will highlight habitat enhancements, infrastructure improvements and hunting opportunities. The tour will showcase what Game Commission wildlife habitat crews, as well as dedicated volunteers from several conservation organizations, have accomplished on public land. The 28-mile, self-guided, circular driving tour through State Game Lands 12 will take about two hours to complete. State Game Lands 12 consists of nearly 24,480 acres in Bradford County. The route will start at the game lands parking lot on top of Wheelerville Mountain on state Route 154, just south of Canton. Vehicles with good ground clearance are recommended. The route travels east to the Barclay Cemetery, then down the hill to Laquin before turning west onto the railroad grade to Wheelerville. The tour ends at the intersection with state Route 154 in Wheelerville. From there, those on the tour can travel north on state Route 154 to Canton, or south to Shunk in Sullivan County. The tour goes by Sunfish

Pond County Park, so a picnic lunch may be the order of the day! Those taking the tour will find the local history of the mountain and the Game Commission’s refuge system intriguing. A pocket guide with historical information and photographs will be provided to each vehicle at the start of the tour.

Sunday, Oct. 15: State Game Lands 67, Huntingdon County, Noon to 3 p.m. – This driving tour of a 5,700-acre tract begins off Route 913, between Coalmont and Dudley (look for the sign) and covers approximately 7 miles. Participants will find ample opportunity to enjoy the historical sites, quality habitat improvements conducted by Game Commission habitat crews in partnership with cooperating organizations such as the Huntingdon County Conservation District and the Shoup’s Run Watershed Association, as well as controlled-burn and quality forest management areas. This tour will be a self-guided driving tour only, as there will be no staff available to lead the excursion as in past years. Information will be provided to each vehicle at the start of the tour to help guide them on their way.

State Game Lands 252, Lycoming and Union counties, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. – This tour primarily will focus on the varied habitats this game lands has to offer, including managed water impoundments, managed dove fields, woodcock management areas, warm-season grasses and old field management areas. Additionally, the game lands is home to the remnants of a World War II-era military instillation and a historical town.

Fall Turkey Season

By Ken Hunter

The various deer seasons are fast approaching, and for many of us, with the exception of squirrel hunting, a deer hunt was probably our first big hunt.

Certainly, a deer hunt is an exciting way to get involved in the Pennsylvania hunting scene, but a fall turkey hunt has a lot to be desired as well. A successful turkey hunt ranks right up there with a successful deer hunt in my mind, and there are certain advantages to getting someone out on a turkey hunt.

What are those advantages? First off, the weather is often still very pleasant during the fall turkey season, which begins this year on October 28. Sunny, fairly warm days are common this time of year, making a hunt much more pleasant.

Another big plus is that there are nowhere near as many hunters in the woods disturbing and moving game, and fewer hunters probably means safer conditions.

The fact that the turkeys have not been disturbed much, often means that they are far less wary and will stay where you have been seeing them.

Also, for many hunters, bagging a turkey ranks right up there with getting a deer, and for some, maybe even more desirable.

That first hunt doesn’t have to be reserved just for getting a youngster started in hunting, but it’s a good hunt for anybody wanting to get involved in hunting. When my wife was just getting into hunting, I thought taking her out on a fall turkey hunt might be a good idea, especially since I had just busted up a good-sized flock of birds on my way back to the house from an archery hunt. It was late in the day when I scattered the flock, so I knew they would be in the area the next morning.

Sure enough, when we quietly settled down the next morning, it wasn’t long until we could hear birds yelping and trying to regroup. It only took a few yelps, and it wasn’t long until turkeys started showing up in several directions as they tried to get back together.

I watched as Sheila bagged her first turkey, and the fun and excitement ranked right up there with a deer hunt.

By the way, hearing those yelps or any turkey calls is another big plus when on a turkey hunt since that just adds to the excitement as you wait and watch for the game to get close enough for a shot.

If you are not a real experienced turkey caller, don’t let that stop you from getting out or taking someone else out on a hunt. For a fall turkey hunt, you are probably pretty well equipped if

you have a simple box call or slate call and if you know the simple yelp call. If you have scouted out the turkeys beforehand and have a pretty good idea where they will be, then the next move is to head out and break up the flock. Young fall turkeys are anxious to return with the mature hens and the rest of the flock, and those yelps will often bring them back together. Now, after a successful turkey hunt earlier in the fall, it’s time for a repeat when deer season rolls around, and I guess you might as well add a bear hunt after that.

New CWD Rules More Convenient for Pennsylvanians Hunting Out-of-State

Jay

Protecting Pennsylvania’s deer and elk from Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) remains a priority, now as ever. That hasn’t changed.

Dave Nobles • 570-827-2367

had to make a return trip to pick up their meat or mount.

FLEA

But the rules for hunters who harvest those or any other cervids outside of Pennsylvania or within parts of it have.

PRESIDENT: Gary Comfort

Home: 570-596-2778

Cell: 607-259-6234

56th Show

Previously, hunters were prohibited from bringing “high-risk” carcass parts from such animals taken in other states back to Pennsylvania. Hunters were likewise prohibited from moving those parts from any of the state’s Disease Management Areas (DMAs) or the Established Area (EA) to anywhere else in Pennsylvania.

High-risk parts include the head (including brain, tonsils, eyes, and any lymph nodes); spinal cord/backbone; spleen; skull plate with attached antlers, if visible brain or spinal cord tissue is present; cape, if visible brain or spinal cord tissue is present; upper canine teeth, if root structure or other soft tissue is present; any object or article containing visible brain or spinal cord tissue; unfinished taxidermy mounts; and braintanned hides.

Those protections were meant to limit the human-assisted spread of CWD, a contagious, always-fatal brain disease affecting members of the deer family, first detected in Pennsylvania in 2012.

But they posed challenges, too. A hunter who harvested a deer within a DMA or the EA but lived elsewhere, for example, likely

Now, to continue battling CWD’s spread while also making things easier on hunters, the Game Commission is allowing hunters who harvest a deer, elk or other cervid outside of Pennsylvania to take it directly to any Game Commission-approved processor or taxidermist anywhere in the state. Hunters who take a deer within any of Pennsylvania’s DMAs or its EA can do the same.

The list of cooperators is available at www. pgc.pa.gov/cwd.

Hunters who process their own deer have options, too. If a hunter harvests a deer within a DMA or the EA and is transporting it home to process within that same DMA or the EA, they can do so as long as the highrisk parts are disposed of through a trash service. Hunters who live outside a DMA or the EA can quarter the animal to take it home, free of high-risk parts.

Also, although not recommended, highrisk parts can remain at the harvest location. But once they’re moved from the harvest location, high-risk parts cannot be placed back onto the landscape.

All these regulations also apply to deer killed in vehicle collisions and picked up for consumption.

The new rules do three things, said Game Commission CWD Section Supervisor Andrea Korman.

First, they ensure the proper disposal of

high-risk parts, which is one way of preventing CWD’s spread to new areas. Processors and taxidermists on the list fill out an annual application, dispose of high-risk parts through a commercial refuse pickup service or other means approved by the agency and provide proof of that disposal method upon request.

Second, they enhance CWD surveillance, as cooperators must allow Game Commission staff to do biological sampling, such as CWD sample collection and deer aging.

Third, they make taking deer more convenient. That’s especially important for instate hunters pursuing deer within a DMA or the EA, since reducing deer densities is one of the only effective methods for limiting CWD’s spread.

“Hunters, who have been our best partners in conservation for over a century, can help reach that goal by hunting and harvesting deer in areas with CWD,” Korman said. “These new rules just make it easier to do that.”

To provide hunters with further opportunity, the Game Commission is offering additional antlerless deer licenses this year compared to last in Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) affected by CWD. There are also CWD Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) units where hunters can get additional antlerless licenses good for individual areas.

CWD DMAP information is available on the Game Commission’s CWD interactive map at http://bit.ly/PGC-CWDMap.

The Game Commission will examine the impact of all those additional licenses on the overall harvest at the conclusion of the

2023-24 seasons, to determine if they were sufficient to meet deer management goals. If not, additional measures might be recommended.

“Based on deer hunter surveys, we find that time is an important factor affecting deer hunters,” said Game Commission Deer and Elk Section Supervisor David Stainbrook.

“Expanded hunter opportunity may be recommended if management goals cannot be met with current season structure and the increased antlerless license allocations alone.”

All hunters within a DMA or the EA can continue to get their deer checked for CWD for free. The Game Commission is once again placing head collection bins at multiple locations around the state. They’re identified on the agency’s website. Hunters who drop a deer head in a bin can check test results on the CWD dashboard at https://pgcdatacollection.pa.gov/CWDResultsLookup.

Pennsylvania first detected CWD in 2012 at a captive deer facility in Adams County. The Game Commission has tested more than 131,000 wild, free-ranging whitetails for CWD since 1998, along with more than 1,900 elk.

To date, CWD has been found in more than 1,400 deer, 243 of those taken by hunters last season. It has not been detected in Pennsylvania’s elk herd.

“Much is still unknown about CWD, so limiting exposure of all species to this known pathogen is essential,” Korman said. “The movement of high-risk carcass parts is a potential avenue through which CWD could be spread, and one that can be prevented.”

The Roving Sportsman… A Bear Hunt With a Twist THE LIFE CHAIN

By Jon Pries

Over the years, I have had the good fortune to have taken several black bears and one grizzly. The grizzly came as a bonus on a Dall sheep hunt in Alaska, and the black bear hunts took place in Pennsylvania and Idaho. Now, I was hoping to hunt for black bear where the chance of success was a bit skewed in my direction. Like many hunters, I always enjoy the challenge of a “spot and stalk” hunt, but I had to up my odds of getting in close so that I didn’t have to take a shot at over 100 yards or so since I had decided to use an old Winchester lever action rifle. Specifically, it is a rifle that was handed down to me by my Grandfather — a takedown version of a model 1886 chambered in .33WCF. He had taken both deer and black bear in Pennsylvania, and now I was hoping to follow his lead by taking a bear with that very same rifle!

I met Joel Guimond (the outfitter of a bear camp in Maine) at the Great Outdoor Show in Harrisburg. He was intrigued with the idea of my using my Granddad’s old lever action and felt his setup would be ideal for my chances at taking a bear. Arriving the night before

the hunting began, hunters and guides gathered for dinner and a welcome safety briefing by Joel. Each hunter drew a number that related to the location he would be hunting over the next several days, and then we met the particular guide that we were assigned to. Upon meeting my guide, Brian Cain, I explained the twist to my hunt that I was hoping to take a bear with the old Model ’86. He was excited for me since I would be in a spot where my shot would be about 60 yards, and he felt the caliber and bullet were plenty for a bear. The rifle had open buckhorn sights, and the cartridge I would use was a hand load with a 200-grain bullet.

Each day, we would head to our stand after lunch and remain there until after dark — unless we were lucky earlier! It would be a game of patience, patience, and more patience since the forecast temperatures were in the 80s all week, and that meant the bear would not be very active until after dark when things cooled down a bit. But remaining alert and not moving around was key because you could never be sure when something would suddenly appear. Further, the mosquitoes could be nasty this time of year, but I was hoping my ThermaCell insect device would solve that problem,

which it did.

The first afternoon’s hunt revealed a unique setting. I was in a ground blind in the middle of absolutely nowhere! This country was referred to as the “Big Woods,” and for good reason. I sat in complete silence in the middle of over 100,000 acres of hardwood forests comprised of maple, aspen, beech, hazelnut, birch, and poplar trees mixed with white pines and spruce trees. The only sound was the occasional cry of a Canada jay, and the only sighting all afternoon was a chipmunk! Several of the hunters saw bear that evening, but in each case, the bears were spotted as nightfall was closing in, and there was not enough light for a safe shot.

The second afternoon, as I settled into my stand at 4:00 p.m., I had a good feeling. I’m sure that has happened to you when, for some reason, things just “feel right.” I sat up a little straighter and remained more alert than the day before. There was an air of greater expectation than the day before. There were several Canada jays flying around and feeding in the area, and their calling seemed to have a soothing effect that I hoped would let any bear in the nearby woods relax enough to show himself before darkness fell. The forearm of my rifle was cradled in the shooting sticks, and the butt rested in my lap. My eyes slowly scanned the woods around me, and I was ready! It was 5:55 p.m. when a black figure

suddenly appeared on the right side of the shooting lane. I cautiously raised the rifle to my shoulder, drew back the hammer, and as it stepped clearly into the opening, I centered the sights just behind his left shoulder and gently squeezed the trigger. As the bullet slammed into his shoulder, he leaped forward and instantly disappeared into the thick timber. Moments later, I heard the soft moan as he let out his last breath.

He was a two-year-old boar and weighed in at 152 pounds. It was a picture-perfect afternoon ending in the taking of a nice black bear with my Grandfather’s model 1886 Winchester! I know he was watching and enjoyed the hunt as much as I did!

It’s hard to believe, but another archery season is about to get underway, and as usual, I never feel prepared. In years past, I did a lot of pre-season scouting, but like many other hunters, it seems like our busy schedules have made sufficient scouting more difficult.

Fortunately, however, a lot of us have a pretty good idea of where we plan to hunt based on previous years of hunting many of the same locations.

Most serious archers will also have several stand locations in mind, and for good reason — deer movements change according to what food is available, and one of the biggest reasons for changing behavior is the coming of the rut later in the season.

While both food availability and the rut are two good reasons to

Ken Hunter

have multiple stand locations, it’s also wise to have several stand possibilities available within any given area due to the direction our human scent may be moving. Sure, we can do things to reduce human scent, like washing our hunting clothes to eliminate any scent, and we can utilize various scents added to clothing and footwear. However, don’t forget that urine-based deer scents can’t be used in certain areas affected by CWD, so having several options based on wind direction may be a good idea.

Hunting from an elevated treestand is also a plus since the added height helps to get the scent off ground level.

Keep in mind, too, that when hunting mountain slopes in autumn, your scent usually drifts up the slope in the morning and

Outdoors with Ken Hunter…

down the slope in the evening hours since the higher elevations cool more quickly.

Stand locations based on food availability may be a good choice, but bear in mind that food sources and availability change throughout the season. We all know that an apple orchard or almost any fruit tree will attract deer, and so will corn and other planted crops, so hunting near these food sources may be productive early in the season.

Also high on the food list are acorns, but keep in mind that acorn production can vary from year to year in any given location; don’t assume that just because there are oaks in your given hunting location, there will also be acorns available.

A large variety of plants and plant parts from both woody and nonwoody plants supply a great deal of food for deer, with the stems alone from woody plants making up about 20 percent of a deer’s

diet.

As we move into late October and then November, the rut is underway, and it may be a good idea to move to some different stand locations. Most archers try to avoid setting up in bedding areas, but the routes traveled from bedding to feeding areas may be good choices, especially if scrapes have been located. Probably the scrapes that need the most attention are the ones found around inside corners, ridgelines, and especially along well-worn trails between bedding and feeding areas. It’s even better if you locate rubs along the well-traveled route, and large rubs on large trees are a good indication that a mature buck is in the area.

Of course, once you have established where you want to set up, the next phase begins — getting in without disturbing the deer, setting up, and, of course, making that crucial shot when it presents itself.

Meeting By Chance Scott on Sports

From our 45-yard line seats six rows from the top of massive AT&T Stadium, we were among the 80,000 Cowboy faithful reveling in the proceedings below. “America’s Team” was in the process of grounding the invading New York Jets in the team’s home opener in an impressive Micah Parsons-led dominant performance.

Her eyes began to well as she explained she was a retired Jersey Shore school teacher. She knew of Engel’s injury, but the posted news she was receiving of his passing was creating an emotional moment totally unrelated to the Cowboys joy she had been experiencing moments earlier.

While white Cowboy rally towels were being waved all around, I noticed a lady seated in the row in front of me staring at the cell phone screen she held in her hand. Looking over her shoulder, the name Tom Gravish quickly caught my eye.

Getting the woman’s attention, I asked, “Are you from Pennsylvania?” When her answer was affirmative, I then asked, where?

Among the roaring of the crowd, she replied, “The small town of Montoursville.”

While the eventual Dallas 30-10 victory was unfolding, the irony of that third-quarter chance conversation bounced around in my mind. The family and I were most likely the only six people in the stadium who had any knowledge of Max Engle, and here we were, somehow seated an arm’s length apart.

The woman and her husband had made the distant road trip to cheer on the Cowboys in person, but in the middle of a Cowboy drive, the two of us were in conversation about the tragic news filling her cell phone of the passing of Jersey Shore football player Max Engle.

At the conclusion of the game, AT&T Stadium ushers waited politely and patiently as we shared a conversation about Engle and the ordeal the Jersey Shore community was facing. Those ushers had no idea what we were discussing when we came to realize that we were the last people standing in their way of closing the section as the celebrating crowd had left the stadium almost empty.

in many instances, I agree, but that chance meeting with a couple from Montoursville reminded me that it is the fans that create the excitement that drives the buzz surrounding the entire sports scene.

I became a Dallas Cowboys fan years ago while attending the University of Houston. Jean, daughter Denise, and son Doug were vaccinated with the same rooting spirit. This Dallas trip was our second chance to see the Cowboys play at home. A scheduling quirk also provided me with the opportunity to see two Red Sox games at the Rangers Globe Life Field, thus completing my bucket list of watching a game at all 30 Major League stadiums.

The family’s visit to Dallas was part of a similar adventure. They had taken a train ride from Pittsburgh through Chicago to Dallas. Their return trip home gave them the chance to see the Pirates (their favorite team) play the Cubs on their first visit to Wrigley Field.

As we laughed about our Cowboy passion, the husband revealed that was nothing compared to the couple that had been seated next to them. This pair were avid Dallas Cowboy fans living in Manchester, England, who had long wanted to see a game in Dallas.

Following that old saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” our stay included a visit to the Fort Worth Stockyards, where we spent a fun-filled time reliving those days of old. I even got to ‘saddle up’ atop a longhorn steer!

Last month, during the Little League

How can two people seemingly so in love, when they art in a marriage, come to a place they almo hate one another? Why the change? In the same way, how can people art a marriage only as friends, become deeply in love? Why and how the change?

One of the quicke ways to kill a relationship are the words you say. The Bible tells us that the power of life and death are in the tongue. Criticism and fault finding produces death in any relationship. So, why not speak

World Series, I shared some great moments with members of the Bitburg, Germany team that had gathered to celebrate their 50th anniversary of playing in the Series. One of those team members, Jeff Ralston — the only Pennsylvanian on that team — invited us to visit them at their Weatherford, Texas, home, where we enjoyed time with Jeff and his wife, Janet. Returning home, Jean reminisced on the visit with the Ralstons and how sports have enabled us to experience so many wonderful opportunities over the years. Those adventures included many with our young family as they grew up.

But now here we were, Jean and I, and our totally adult children spending some time together, just the four of us; perhaps the first time that has happened since they left the nest.

Another great sports memory, not soon forgotten!

WHY MARRIAGES CHANGE

words that build up and encourage others, regardle of how we feel?

The Bible says that God sent His words to heal and deliver people. He gave us the ability to do the same. I have seen words heal many relationships. People living by their emotions are asking for trouble and usually find it. Speaking encouraging words and building others up excites God. When God gets excited, he shows up and the atmosphere in the home becomes a place of peace and joy. Our children love it,

RIVER VALLEY CHURCH

and makes them feel safe and secure as well. On the other hand, when God’s people began to mummer and complain the Bible records that they died in the wilderne . If you feel like your marriage is dying you may need to change and watch your language. Now I underand what mom meant when she said, “watch your mouth.”

The Bible tells us that if we confe Jesus as Lord [willing to come under His Lordship] and believe in our heart that God raised him

from the dead, we would be saved and changed. Remember, God lives in the praises of His people, according to the Bible. If we seek God sincerely, we will find a life many only dream about. Therefore, fill your home and marriage with words of encouragement and thanksgiving then watch the miracle of change and transformation. It will take the place of trouble and confusion. Jesus’ teachings are so pra

Sporting Matters With Spence… Painting Pictures

Disclaimer. We are a weekly publication. My articles are submitted on Friday mornings. I do my best to hit these extended deadlines. The paper is usually done and everything is ready to be sent to the printers. My lovely editor is often waiting for Sporting Matters by Jamie Spencer. I will occasionally leave her hanging. Those are never my intentions. I do battle with part time mobile freelance procrastination. My new iPhone 13 has certainly helped. It has many more features than the old school flip. I have been on a roll kids. 57 straight weeks and counting.

We are back on the sidelines with the Webb Weekly.  Kudos to Jim Webb for everything. My big brother allows me to call the action. We have worked together on this for many seasons. Our productions continue to get better. Thanks to our wonderful sponsors. The crew is amazing. They make me look like I know what I am doing. Webb Weekly provides the platform. Jim

deserves all of the credit. We try to feature as many local schools as we can each week. Tonight we are heading to the South Side as the Mounties host the Canton Warriors. I take great pride in being a play by play announcer. Drae Lewis is my pal. He provides some color. Drae is young and brings some serious energy. My man was a tremendous three sport athlete. He has great knowledge of the game and we have some great chemistry. I also want to give a shout to Iron Mike Lundy. He pinch hit for Drae and helped call the Williamsport and Berwick game. He was fantastic. Props to Big Mike Alston on camera. The same to Curtis Musheno who is our producer.

“What do you know about football?” is a question I hear quite often. People are literally shocked when they see me plug in my headset. Yes. I am blessed with many great part time gigs. Believe it or not. I have been calling games for over 25 years now. I always carry a resume in my pocket. Most know of

my relationship with hoops but again I still get some strange looks when it comes to the gridiron. Even the gals at the ticket booth still give me a hard time.

Instead of doing a weekly recap- I tend to write stories that have nothing to do with the game we call. I have had several opportunities to share some good with this page. There are so many great tales associated with local highschool football. It brings a smile as I look back. This past week was tough as I am still pulling for Max and the Bulldogs. He may have lost his battle. But it was incredible how this young man brought our community together. All walks of life. Young and old. They were all decked out in orange. It was beautiful.

Online streaming is so important. We

do our very best each week to bring you the action. I ain’t going to lie folks. Describing the crowds and atmospheres is tough. I tend to sit back and let our incredible footage do all the work. Our picture is crystal clear and we seldom have any hiccups. Our games are LIVE via YouTube and can be seen all over the globe. I love hearing the feedback from old friends and relatives that are tuning in. Many are out of state and thank us for bringing them the games. One of my chums gave me some love all the way from Japan. Folks send me all kinds of photos. It is fantastic. You should see these outdoor venues and

incredible setups. My phone tends to blow up whenever I say something stupid. I am still very sensitive so I don’t pay attention to all of the comments. Look. This was the roster we were given. You try to pronounce these names from the Coal Region. It is just nice to know that people are watching.

Hopefully you all had a chance to tune in. Again thank you for all the praise. Please remember that I only give personal shouts to people who are streaming from California or they are on a hunting trip in Nova Scotia. But feel free to ask. Good luck to ALL of the area teams. Cheers.
