Ithink editor Steph made a great choice for our annual Halloween contest. is year, the kids will be Guessing Ghosts. She has all the details and information on the next page. My favorite part of the kids showing o their counting skills is when the winners come in to pick up the prizes. I love seeing the smiles and that youthful Halloween excitement as they check out what is the equivalent of a great night of trick or treating. So, parents, grandparents, caregivers, and teachers encourage the 12 and under crowd to guess the ghosts and help them to get the answer to the Webb Weekly. We will even have something for you if you have the good for-

area hunters. ere just hasn’t been a lot of action going on, which is probably due to the warmer weather pattern. e good news is, as I’m penning this, the weather is changing to more fall-like temperatures. I think that will get these monster bucks up and moving during the daylight.

Please remember safety always comes rst, from the weapon you’re using to that trip up and down your favorite tree stand. We don’t need any ghost stories about someone who was just trying to enjoy the great outdoors.

Moving right along to what really scares the daylights out of me — our elected ofcials in Washington. ey are far scarier than any ghost. e best thing for all Americans would be term limits that prevented them from haunting the American people

at gets me wondering: maybe there will be a ghost story about former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy coming back to haunt Representative Matt Gaetz for the hatchet job he did that got him ousted as House Speaker? I’d better add here that Representa-

I don’t want anybody to think he moved on like 90-year-old California Senator Dianne Feinstein. God rest her soul. Incidentally, she will probably nd a way to continue to vote on legislation from the beyond. I will close the co n on the article with some ghoulish thoughts about what’s going on in Washington.

What Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and seven other fellow Republicans did that enabled Speaker of the House McCarthy to be voted out was unconscionable for many reasons.

Gaetz knew what the nal vote would be before initiating the process for McCarthy’s removal. Because this was just too good for the Democrats to pass up and out, McCais brings an already slow-moving, divided Congress to a halt as they must now elect a new speaker. Do you remember how long this process took for McCarthy to get the post? It also undermines Republican party e orts at a crucial time in American history. ey need to be viewed as a competent team that is working for what’s best

for the American people. e ghting and division within the party send a completely wrong message. It makes even many Republican voters question what the heck’s going on, not to mention the undecided Democratic and Independent voters whose support will be needed to win the 2024 Presidential election. Without a doubt, this is a positive for the Democrats and the Speaker of the House McCarthy should have been praised by all members of his party for negotiating a deal that kept our checks for the federal workers that protect us. It was something that could have been built upon as a bipartisan agreement based upon compromise. Not to mention, anyone licans to agree on anything has accom-

can presidential candidates as a positive to unite the Republican party as they’re on the is whole debacle showed the major difference between the two parties: the Democrats stick together. Whether it’s right, wrong, or indi erent, they do not waiver from party lines. e Republicans may have control of the House by number, but this shows that razor-thin margin is o en an apparition. ese may be the most fright-

From the Editor… Spooky Season has Arrived!

Guessing Ghosts Contest!

Boys and Girls! Gather ‘round! Step right up and play the game! Everyone has a chance to win a prize! It is time once again for Webb Weekly’s annual Halloween contest! This is one of my favorite Webb Weekly moments of the year! This year, we will take a ghostly turn as we count the adorable little Ghosts!

We’ve been doing this for close to twenty years, so I’m sure you know how this works, but just in case you forgot, let’s jog the noggin.

Scattered throughout this issue, you will find a variety of Ghosts. The rules of the game are simple. Count up all the little ghosts you find in the October 11th and October 18th editions of the paper. Then take the total of the two weeks together and send them to me. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy…

I will then take everyone who answered correctly and pick ten random winners. Winners will receive a bucket full of

goodies big enough to have several local dentists very upset with me! Maybe I should start including a toothbrush with each bucket… Anyway — have no doubt, it’s a serious amount of candy. I take my bucket building more seriously than Tommy Jarvis trying to avoid Jason Vorhees.

The easiest way to enter the contest is to email the answer to contest@webbweekly. com, or you can drop a postcard in the snail mail at Webb Weekly, 280 Kane St., Suite 2, South Williamsport, PA 17702. Or, if you are so inclined, you can drop your entry off at our office; we are open Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and on Fridays, we are usually here until around 2 p.m. Entries must be submitted by October 20th around noon or so. Winners will be listed in the October 25th edition. But I’ll call or email the winners before that.

Remember, the contest is only open to kiddos 12 and under and only one entry per kid.

Each year, we rotate through the local animal shelters and donate $1 for each entry received. This year is the Lycoming County SPCA’s turn, so let’s help the adorable little fur babies! Be sure to get your entries in and help support a great cause. Plus, ya know — candy. So. Much. Candy.

So, look carefully and count them up! I’m not here to make this easy for you, so make sure you check every page closely!

A Halloween contest can only mean that spooky season has arrived and Halloween is right around the corner! Have you picked your costume yet?

We’d love to hear about you and/or your kids’ Halloween costumes, so share them with us on Facebook, or better yet, post some pictures!

If I receive enough pictures via Facebook (fb.com/webbweekly) and/or email (webbnews@webbweekly.com), maybe you’ll see your little one on an upcoming cover! You can even attach the picture to your email entry (contest@webbweekly. com).

Now, I gotta run skeleton! Enjoy spooky season!

Twenty-Five senior girls from schools from across central Pennsylvania will compete for the 74th Pennsylvania State Flaming Foliage Queen. ey and their escorts will enjoy luncheons, a banquet, the Queens’ Ball, and Coronation throughout the weekend.

Girls are judged on their poise, personality, and ability to speak to an audience, along with questions asked at the luncheons, coronation, and interviews with the judges.

More than 150 cra and food vendors will be on hand. e cra and vendor show is held all three days at the Flaming Foliage Lot located at 12th and Huron Avenue in Renovo.

ere will be many food concessions as well.

e parade of Queens begins Saturday at 1:45 p.m. and is the biggest event of the weekend.

e process of entering as a Flaming Foliage Queen begins when letters are mailed out to high schools across central Pennsylvania inviting a representative to the Festival each year. Other schools interested are always welcome to participate. A queen is chosen by her character, poise, and ability to communicate with others.

e winner receives a $500 scholarship. e rst runner-up receives a $300 scholarship.

hospitality spots along the scenic and beautiful Bucktail Trail.

e Queen competition and talent show, and accompanying parade have been the central features of the Festival. Each year, interest and attendance have grown at the Festival.

“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!

The Solid Rock Principle of Eternity

By Tim Hartzell

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

e solid rock principle of eternity addresses treasure.It explores the question: Where is my heart? See Matthew 6:1924.

It is the big question of life. It has long been asserted that the most e ective way to discover our true priority (heart) is to investigate what we believe about money — how we value it — and how we spend it.

It’s not a question of wealth or poverty—poor and rich alike can be guilty of envy and greed, prejudice and pride. It’s what you believe about money that matters. Do you believe money can solve all of your problems and provide you with security, happiness, freedom, and meaning?

If yes, then money is your master, and the pursuit of it controls your life. Money o ers the ability to live in de ant independence of God, to declare, “I don’t need God. I can do it myself.” is was Israel’s repetitive mistake. See Deuteronomy 6:10-12. It is the worship of money that allows us to be

the masters of our own destiny. It’s the same de ant pride trap that caught Adam and Eve. See Genesis 3:5.

Jesus knows the de ance lurking in the human heart. He was not ambiguous when teaching about money: No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24

If you are serving money, then your focus is on building treasure on earth. If you are serving God, then your focus is on building treasure in eternity. So, where is your heart? ere is a fatal aw in the worship of money: nothing satis es, and nothing lasts. e eye and the stomach always want more. What we hoard runs out, rots, or gets stolen. Hoarding creates great worry because it’s all at risk. e

pursuit and the risk result in exhaustion and meaninglessness—a slavery to chasing a er the wind—and then you die. See Ecclesiastes 1. is is the fate of those who build their lives on the shi ing sand of the here and now. Jesus is aware of our struggle. He asks in Matthew 16:26, What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Your soul is eternal. is world and all of its stu isn’t.

According to Ecclesiastes 3:11, we were made for eternity. We were created to live forever in an eternal kingdom that has no end and never runs out. e solid rock principle of eternity frees us from the tyranny of de ant independence and the burden of meaningless wind-chasing. It de nes what we value, clar-

ifying our treasure decisions and resulting in unshakeable purpose, contentment, peace, and hope. See Philippians 4:4-18.

e Disciplines of Eternity

1. Trust. Jesus teaches us to not worry. See Matthew 6:25-34. A calm and contented spirit is a byproduct of trust. Do we trust God or not? Chronic worry is an indicator of distrust.

Jesus’ anxious prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane helps us. He was worrying about the suffering He would soon endure. He desperately probed God to see if there was any other way. He agonized openly as His anxiety increased.

e temptation to run from God’s eternal redemptive plan was brutal. Why? Because it meant letting go of everything this world had to o er. He passionately pleaded His case for divine intervention.

And this is where the principle of eternity comes in - Jesus concluded each session of prayer by placing His trust in His Father’s eternal plan: Yet not my will be done, but yours. See Luke 22:42.

When God’s answer didn’t change, Jesus overcame temptation through trusting obedience. Trust in the eternal will of His heavenly Father resolved Jesus’ dilemma. He got up from prayer and got on with it. We don’t need to pretend to be happy about potential su ering. It’s okay to agonize with friends and to plead our case before God. But when we’re done, our trust must be placed fully in our Father’s eternal redemptive plan. Trust in the eternal is what gives us the resolve to get on with “it” — whatever “it” may be. See Philippians 2 and Proverbs 3:5-6.

2. Generosity. Jesus teaches us to be generous.With God, there is always more — eternally more!

Jesus commanded us, Freely you have received, freely give. See Matthew 10:8. is world is de ned by scarcity and stinginess. God’s eternal kingdom is de ned by unlimited abundance and generosity. Paul declares in Philippians 4:19, “And my God will meet all your needs according to his riches in glory.”

In the Kingdom of God, there is an eternal and inexhaustible supply. Do we live like we believe it? Scarcity thinking results in fear and worry, stinginess, and greed. When we put our trust in the eternal abundance of heaven, the result is joyful generosity with God (a cheerful giver) and with each other.

3. Stewardship. Jesus teaches us to be wise stewards. Everything belongs to our eternal God and His eternal kingdom. Everything. Nothing belongs to us. We are not owners. God has not equipped us to be owners. When we assume ownership, it produces a burden of stress and worry we were not designed to bear. God designed us to be stewards of creation. Genesis 2:15 says, e LORD took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. At no point was mankind given ownership of anything. Accepting our design as stewards changes our perspective. It sets us free from the worrisome bondage of ownership, loosens our tight- sted grip on stu , sets us free from keeping up with the Joneses, and provides us with an eternal treasure in heaven. See Matthew 25.

Simple Fall Joys

Kenzy has been ready for Halloween since the middle of August. She couldn’t wait to decorate her room and anything else she could get her hands on. Her favorite is setting the table for dinner. She will decorate the middle of the table with her decorations from her room or my decorations around the house. Some nights, little ghosts might be around a camp re that’s a ickering candle. Another night could be a pumpkin patch. One night, Clyde, our new ve-foot skeleton, sat at the table with us with a witch’s hat on and had Sunday brunch with us. Kenzy even set a place for him, giving him his own plate and Halloween mug. He didn’t eat much, though! I don’t know why his wife Bonnie wasn’t invited, but she sat outside on the porch waiting for her man to come back from family dinner, I guess!? Haha! (More about Bonnie & Clyde later)

For Christmas, we each have our own special Christmas mug. Fall, we have pumpkin mugs; Easter, we have Easter

mugs. But early this fall, Kenzy said, “Momma, we need our own Halloween mugs!” So, Momma was on the lookout since August for Halloween mugs.

I hit the jackpot at the Dollar General. ere sat exactly four mugs. Two ghosts and two smiling jack-o-lanterns. Perfect!! You would have thought it was Christmas morning when I showed Kenzy. She was ecstatic! at evening, we made our hot tea in them at dinner, and she gave Daddy and her big brother Tyler iced tea. ey added such a cute touch to her Halloween decorative table. Watching my nine-year-old get excited about mugs just melts my heart. Can I also add to my Momma — I just remembered our jack-o-lantern mugs we had when we were little!? Green handles with triangle eyes and a happy face painted in orange. Where did these get to!? is explains my mug fetish. You always had special holiday mugs, too!

And this has nothing to do with my topic this week, but can I just share

quickly how last Sunday at Cracker Barrel for breakfast, Kenzy ordered a hot tea and was singing Frank Sinatra at the table!? One of my best friends, Lindsay Mertes, giggled at her and said, “She’s nine, going on ninety! All I have to do is teach her how to knit!” What nine-year-old orders hot tea and sings Sinatra while sipping her tea at Cracker Barrel? My kid. *insert a big proud smile here!*

Besides mugs, there are other things we love this time of year, like our fall blankets. Mine with pumpkin pies, pumpkins, and little hot coco mugs printed all over it, and Kenzy with her Hocus Pocus blanket. It’s little things like this that you put away a er the holiday is over, but when you get it back out, it’s new and exciting again.

As a little girl, one of my favorite things in October was a handmade ceramic kitty pumpkin that my Nanny made my Momma and all her sisters. It glowed at night, and I always couldn’t wait to turn it on. I still looked forward to seeing this in my 20s and 30s. is year, I went over to my Momma’s at the farm to help her get a few fall things out. is pumpkin was top on our list as Kenzy went nuts over seeing it out as I did at her age, as would my sweet little nieces, Lexi & Leah. As I

carried a tote and basket downstairs, I made it just ne. But as I sat it down on the oor, the basket was top heavy on the top and tipped over and broke our kitty pumpkin. I was so upset and mad at myself! More than my Momma was, and I give her props for how well she handled it. She had already put in a pretty rough day; God love her. She told me not to fret. My stepdad kept saying, “We have enough pumpkin bull crap. It will be OK,” as only Mark Metzger could say as he bent over, picking up the ceramic pieces o the oor. But it wasn’t just a pumpkin.

First and foremost, my Nanny painted it, so it made it special. Secondly, seeing this pumpkin lit every year took me back to being a kid again. It had memories with it, and that was the hardest part.

My Aunts each have one, so I texted them for help. My Aunt Sherie sent me pictures of it for the pattern. I am now on the hunt for someone who can make me a mold of this pumpkin, and I haven’t had much luck! Is there anyone out there who knows someone who does ceramics and has old molds from the 80s/90s or someone who can make a mold from a picture? If you do, please email me at lifestyle tnesscoach@yahoo.com. I really appreciate

it! I’ve called ceramic places, and they can do it, but they need the mold to cast in order to make it. ank YOU!

Do you have something this time of year that you really cherish? A pumpkin you look forward to plugging in? A cozy fall blanket? A special mug or plate? It’s the little things that give us joy. Whatever makes you happy makes me happy! Enjoy the season and all the little things that make it special!

Spooky Deviled Eggs

e concept is easy: hard cook your eggs. Cool the Eggs. Crack the Eggs. Dye the Eggs. Peel the Eggs. Devil the Eggs. Eat the Eggs.

Step One: Boil a dozen eggs as you normally would and let cool.

Step Two: Crack the eggs with the back of a spoon, making cracks that look like webs.

Step ree: Pour warm water into a pot that will cover all your eggs and add food coloring. I used purple. You want the water pretty dark. Let eggs sit for 2-3 hours. You can randomly check on them. Don’t let them go too long (like overnight), or the eggs will come out completely covered in color with darker spots where the cracks were.

Step Four: Peeling. e secret to

peeling the dyed eggs easily is to ask someone to help you and then pretend you have to go to the bathroom. Disappear for at least 27 minutes, claiming food poisoning or lady problems. No one will question this — no one wants to know. (It’s worth the peeling, though, trust me. Haha! )

Step Five: Deviling. e easiest part of all. Egg yolks from the eggs, 1/4 cup mayo, salt & pepper. (I added green food coloring to mine to add to the sPoOky factor.)

Place everything into a bowl and mix it until it’s smooth. Add the lling to a piping bag and ll each egg half. And there you have it! Fun, colorful, Deviled SpOoKy eggs that look great and taste great too. Tiny little spiders I got from Amazon!

High Industries Makes $10,000 EITC Contribution to Support WAHS’s Welding Program

High Industries Inc. recently made a $10,000 contribution in support of Williamsport Area High School’s welding program.

e donation was made through the state’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program via the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania (FCFP).

“We are very grateful for our relationship with High Industries and for their generous contribution to our programming,” said Matt Fisher, director of the high school’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program. “ ese funds will provide our students with enhanced resources and invaluable hands-on experiences to help prepare them for thriving careers in the welding industry.”

Welding is one of the 15 workforce development courses made available to WAHS students through the high school’s CTE program.

Created by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, the EITC program allows companies to

reinvest dollars directly back to local communities. It provides tax credits to eligible companies that do business in the state when they contribute to scholarship organizations, educational improvement organizations and/ or pre-kindergarten scholarship organizations. Businesses that donate through the program may receive a tax credit equal to 75 percent of its contribution or 90 percent for a twoyear commitment.

EITC funds for WASD are held at and administered by FCFP.

Last school year, FCFP received more than $50,000 in EITC contributions designated for WASD in a combination of funds received from C&N, First National Bank, High Industries Inc., M&T Bank, UPMC Health Plan and Woodlands Bank.

Dr. Eddie Ramirez, medical doctor, research scientist, published author and international speaker is the director of HealthWhys Lifestyle Medicine in Pennsylvania. His major research interests include how food and lifestyle have the ability to prevent and reverse physical and mental diseases.

Transplanting Agatha Christie: Branagh’s “Haunting in Venice”

For most lmgoers, the name Michael Green probably doesn’t ring a bell — but I’ve had my eye on him since 2049.

Um — Blade Runner 2049, to be precise.

Green penned the ingenious screenplay for that 2017 title, creating a sequel almost as good as its groundbreaking predecessor. at same year, he also wielded his pen on Logan, the sixth Alien movie and a masterful new version of Agatha Christie’s famed whodunit Murder on the Orient Express Green’s credits likewise include 2021’s Jungle Cruise and, for TV, American Gods and the original Heroes; but his 2017 Christie adaptation, directed by Kenneth Branagh with a star-studded cast, was hit enough to kick o what seems to have become an o cial franchise.

Joseph W. Smith III

best-written among Green’s three adaptations of Dame Agatha.

Which is all the more remarkable, since he’s completely rewritten her 1969 novel Hallowe’en Party, on which the lm is based. Shi ing the setting from sixties Britain to 1940s Italy, Green retains a few names and one simple plot device; beyond that, he essentially builds a whole new whodunit — one that’s smart and scary, with a surprise solution which never feels arti cial. By that, I mean Green’s ending emerges so organically from the characters that the viewer doesn’t feel duped or manipulated.

Better yet, once the solution to the crime has been unveiled, Green still has two more twists to reveal — and those feel likewise fully organic.

Branagh — who also stars as Christie’s resolute Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot — followed Orient Express with Death on the Nile in 2022 and then, this year, A Haunting in Venice.

I found this new lm the

Set about 10 years a er Nile, this new lm has a weary Poirot settling into would-be retirement in the titular Italian town. But once he’s invited to a Halloween party followed by a séance, the seasoned detective nds himself swept into a murder-mystery involving his host’s long-dead daughter and

“When you go to Artisan Hearing, they go over and beyond for you. I have been to other hearing places that I was not happy with. A friend told me about Jennifer at Artisan. The Technology she uses is not the equipment I have seen in other offi ces. She takes her time to make sure every detail is covered. I would highly recommend Artisan to anyone who has hearing problems!”

- Karl Seyler

(perhaps) her ghost — along with an entire gang of specters seemingly intent on vengeance against folks who once mistreated them in this haunted palazzo.

Branagh, who’s been nominated in more Oscar categories (seven) than any other person, is truly an actor’s director. As in his previous Christie e orts, he has a ne cast to work with here: Tina Fey, Kelly Reilly, Jamie Dornan, Michelle Yeoh, Riccardo Scamarcio and young Jude Hill, who was so impressive in Branagh’s Belfast. Upholding one of Christie’s hallmarks, this is a lm about real people, with real hurts and hearts; as such — and thanks in part to strong per-

formances — it ultimately feels less like a supernatural whodunit and more like a full- edged human drama.

Unlike the earlier Death on the Nile, this movie was actually shot on location — and it shows. A Haunting in Venice is beautifully lmed, with dark, moody cinematography that plays up the watery atmosphere of its canalled locale.

Made for a modest $60 million and now heading toward a handy $100 million worldwide, Haunting is certainly making enough money to greenlight Branagh for several more Christie adaptations.

Judging from her 70-plus titles, he and Green have plenty to choose from.

Gone are the days of paper and pencil being the necessities for learning. Schoolwork has gone digital, meaning it’s time to gear up your students for success with the top tech that keeps them connected in the classroom and beyond.

From kid-friendly smartphones and earbuds to connected wearables and devices that keep learning fun, consider these ontrend solutions as your kids head back to school.

Power At-Home Productivity Students (and parents, too) can accomplish more a er school like homework, studying and socializing with the Dell Inspiron 14

laptop powered by the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 Compute Platform.

Equipped with the Qualcomm AI Engine, this processor enhances audio and visual experiences.

E ortlessly multitask and shi between apps without sacri cing speed or battery life, given the power-ecient processor that helps deliver long battery life even in thin, light and quiet designs that don’t require a loud, hot fan.

Listen and Learn

Whether students are listening to prerecorded lessons, immersing themselves in audiobooks or simply enjoying some favorite music while completing schoolwork,

high-quality earbuds can help block out noise for maximum productivity. For example, the Moto Buds 600 ANC Wireless Earbuds feature Snapdragon Sound technology that delivers advanced wireless audio quality. A game changer for wireless audio, it eliminates the gap between wireless and wired connections for high-resolution music and synced entertainment.

Opt for Kid-Friendly Wearables

If a smartphone is a bit too advanced for your little learners, an age-appropriate smartwatch that keeps them connected may be a better t. Empower kids to be kids with an option like the Snapdragon Wear

4100-powered Verizon Gizmo Watch 3 with a range of bene ts from 4G LTE cellular connectivity to games and GPS-safe zones. is smartwatch is designed with safety and

fun in mind without the distractions of a smartphone so you can have some peace of mind while keeping students focused in the classroom.

Keep In Touch During Schooldays

Hectic schedules during schooldays and workdays can leave parents feeling out of the loop. When your children are ready for a ride home or a practice, game or activity gets canceled, ensure you can be the rst to know by keeping them connected with the OnePlus 11 5G powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform. It combines power with e ortless elegance and is driven by extreme hardware with Dolby Atmos Speakers, Dolby Vision, 80W SUPERVOOC Charging and 3rd Gen Hasselblad Camera for Mobile.

Local Man Advocates for People with Disabilities

On September 21st, Christ Westbrook, from Williamsport, testi ed in front of the United States Senate Special Committee on Aging on the topic of accessibility of government technology for people with disabilities, older adults, and veterans.

Westbrook is an accessibility engineer for Allyant, who also happens to be blind. “I look at websites and write up issues to determine the accessibility of a website. I think a lot of people are skeptical that blind people can use a computer. I have so ware that reads the screen to me and a Braille display that can show me the screen in Braille,” said Westbrook.

With the ever-growing dependence on government systems in our daily lives and the right of everyone to have access, I reached out to Chris to learn more about his experience testifying in front of U.S. Senators and how he got involved in the advocacy for people with disabilities.

Dave: Chris, please tell us a little about yourself.

Chris: I grew up in Carlisle, PA, but have been in Williamsport since 2006. I play saxophone and violin and am very involved in my local church, Trinity Gospel Church.

Dave: What was the purpose of the hearing?

Chris: e hearing was to bring awareness to the lack of accessibility of government websites.

Dave: It’s not every day someone is invited to testify in front of an important federal committee. How did you get involved?

Chris: Misty Dion, CEO of the Center for Independent Living of North Central Pennsylvania, mentioned my name to Senator Casey’s sta when they were looking for someone who knew something about web accessibility. I had an interview with them and also had an interview with Senator Braunsen’s sta , but it was Senator Casey who invited me to testify.

Dave Bellomo

Dave: Why is it important that everyone, including people with disabilities, have access to public websites and systems?

Chris: Access is important because they are available to the public and can contain crucial services like paying taxes, paying water bills, etc. is will become more important as technology becomes more and more prominent.

Dave: Being involved in changing something like government policy can sometimes seem overwhelming. What can the average person do to help get the message to our government representatives that everyone has the right to access these public sites?

Chris: Good question. Honestly, I think the best way is to just be an advocate for accessibility in their own sphere of in uence — place of work, house of worship, etc. Accessibility is needed for more than just government websites.

Excerpt from Chris Westbrook’s testimony at the U.S Senate Special Committee meeting on September 21st“Because of my disabilities and my job, I come across many issues related to accessibility and inaccessibility of website and technology. Some of the issues I see on a daily basis include unlabeled form elds, which can leave blind peo-

ple unsure of what information is being asked for; unlabeled images, which lead blind people to be unsure of what is on a webpage; and buttons that are coded in such a way that they do not announce that they are actionable, thus leaving disabled people unaware of what function the button performs.

“Local, state, and federal governments need regulations to ensure accessibility and that keep up with the changing pace of technology. We also need to ensure that disabled people are involved in the development of those regulations, the monitoring and oversight, the purchasing of so ware and other technology — really every step of the process of using technology. And we also need to make sure those regulations are enforced. For people like me, and really for all Americans, accessibility needs to become just another part of doing business. Accessibility must be considered from the design phase all the way through the process of implementing and maintaining a website. at is how we make government technology and all technology accessible. Again, thank you for your time, and I hope my testimony and expertise can move us closer to a world that is accessible to all.”

Guppies, Newts, and Hippos: More Weird Animal-Word Origins

By Joseph W. Smith III

As Webb Weekly’s “World of Weird Words” nears its 20th installment, we’ve been on an etymology bender — examining odd and unusual word origins.

When I rst gathered up my favorite etymologies for these columns, I couldn’t help noticing how many were related to animals. We looked at some of those beastly beauties last week.

Here are the rest:

Feisty – is is a weird one: It literally comes from a very old phrase that means “farting dog.” So in more ways than one: Excuse me for starting with this in what proudly bills itself as a “family-oriented publication”!

Feisty originates from the Middle English word-group st, which has to do with breaking wind; eventually, it started getting used as a contemptuous term for a small dog: “ sting hound” or “ sting cur.” How that connects to passing gas remains a mystery — though I do have a friend whose dog would do this in its sleep, then wake up, sni around in disgust — and leave the room!

Guppy – ough it sounds like a cute nickname coined for a wiggly little sh, these were actually named in honor of naturalist R.J.L. Guppy (1839-1916). British-born but living in Trinidad at the time, Guppy sent specimens to a London museum upon dis-

covering the species in 1866.

Hippopotamus – Hippo is a somewhat uncommon Greek base meaning horse. We still have it in such words as hippodrome (a horse-related arena), hippocampus (brainpart shaped like a seahorse), the prehistoric eohippus and, believe it or not, the name Philip. In the latter, it combines with the common phil (“love,” as in Philadelphia); having somehow lost both its H and its O, Philip literally means horse-lover. I am not making this up.

As for the famed African beast: pota is a Greek base for river (still found in water-related words like potable). Very logically, hippopotamus = “river horse.” Husky – When referring to a sleddog, husky comes from the same Algonquin word that gave us Eskimo (note the vowel-SK-vowel combination). e other English meanings — dry (as in “husky voice”) and stocky (as in the clothing size) — have an entirely di erent source; they refer to the outer layer of crops like corn, which can be dry and crackly — or make something seem larger.

Jumbo – is adjective was popularized from the name of a singularly gigantic African elephant which P. T. Barnum bought from a London zoo for his circus. Given its sound, the elephant’s name may originally have been an African word (as in the Kongo term nzamba); but no one knows for sure.

Newt – e name of a small but common

salamander, newt was originally eft, which is still sometimes used for these creatures — as in North America’s red eft. (Stick with me on this one.)

It isn’t tough for F to become W, as both sounds are made with the lip(s); but where on earth did that N come from?

Well, try saying “an ewt” four or five times. Pretty soon, you can’t tell whether the N is attached to the first or the second word; thus, in common speech and spelling, the consonant gradually moved over to the other word.

This weird re-division happened often in English: umpire, apron, adder and auger all used to start with N — but unlike newt, that eventually moved off of the noun (so “a napron” became “an apron,” etc.).

Similarly, eke is an old English word mean-

ing also, or in addition. Someone’s extra name was once “an ekename”; say that repeatedly and you’ll hear the word this gave us.

Petrel – To end with something simpler and more elegant: A petrel is a seabird known for cruising at a very short height above the waves. Etymologists aren’t certain, but it’s generally felt this was named for the Apostle Peter, who famously walked on water.

Once again, this piece owes a huge debt to Merriam-Webster’s New Book of Word Histories (1991); the New American Webster Handy College Dictionary (3rd ed.); and the exhaustive website Online Etymology Dictionary.

Sticking with animals, that last source can be a real rabbit-hole….

placing one big box trip each week with a visit to a locally owned small business. Brand loyalty to a local business can be built up from there.

Take steps to become a more active community consumer

Serving on a community’s commerce commission or a similar agency helps consumers learn about the small businesses that are coming to town or already established. A greater awareness of shopping options could mean a greater propensity for stopping in and shopping these stores rather than the chain alternatives.

Increase in-person shopping

It’s tempting to simply shop online and order something from one of the nation-

al chains that can afford to ship items straight to your home. However, small retailers tend to have more unique offerings and boast pleasant shopping experiences. Plus, in-person shopping allows consumers to get a real feel for a product, which can save them the time and effort it takes to return things that don’t fit or aren’t quite right. Many small businesses now offer their own e-commerce options, where a shopper can buy an item online and then pick it up in the store or curbside to save time.

Consumers have grown accustomed to shopping at big box retailers. But kicking that habit and patronizing small local businesses can benefit consumers and communities alike.

Community Arts

Center Volunteer Corps Donates in Celebration of 30 Years!

Anytime you’ve been to an event at the Community Arts Center, you have undoubtedly seen a Community Arts Center Volunteer Corps member. They greet you at the door, scan your tickets, and help you to your seat at nearly every event at the CAC. Every year, the Volunteer Corps donates thousands of hours to ensure the arts still have a home in Downtown Williamsport. “We absolutely could not operate the CAC without the selfless contribution of time and energy from our volunteers.” said Jim Dougherty, Executive Director of the Community Arts Center. “Their willingness to help us, week after week, is a critical part of the fabric of the CAC, and we wouldn’t be able to do this without their involvement – we’re incredibly grateful for their dedication.” In Celebration of the Community Arts Center’s 30-year anniversary,

the Community Arts Center Volunteer Corps has decided to give back even more!

Through the Volunteer Executive Committee, the CAC Volunteer Corps has made a generous donation of $3,000 to further the mission of the CAC. Brooke Styborski, Operations Manager and CAC Volunteer Organizer, ensures that the money will go to good use to assist in buying supplies and necessities that help the volunteers serve the community and patrons that enter the CAC building. “It’s really amazing to see the dedication and love that the volunteers have for the CAC. They’re not only passionate about the foundations on which the CAC was built, but they are determined to support its future. We really couldn’t operate without this level of commitment and dedication,” Styborski said.

The Volunteer Corps has been a part of the CAC since its founding. This year, six volunteers rounded the 30-year mark when the CAC had its

birthday in May. Sue Berta, who loves her “job” greeting guests, says one of her spiritual gifts is to be of service to others. She feels blessed that she has been able to help her community for so many years while also being able to enjoy many wonderful performances along the way.

Another volunteer who has served for 30 years, Sylvia Miller, says that people come into the theatre excited and leave with a smiling face. “I’m a people person, and I love seeing people happy. Williamsport is lucky to have this beautiful theatre.”

Kathy and Jeff Richards state that they volunteer to give back to the community and desire to see the Arts cele-

brated in their community. “From the wide-eyed school children who visit the CAC for the first time to the patrons who are “awed” at the beauty and excellence of presentations,” they say that they have “enjoyed each moment and are looking forward to the future of the CAC.”

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

Fall Trends

Trends come and go, and with each new season, there’s a new “it” item, be it shoes, handbags, or even hemlengths. And if you’re a fall fashion fan, as I am, you may be overwhelmed when trying to incorporate all of the exciting up-and-coming trends for the season. Usually, I nd it best to pick one or two of the most common trends and see what items I already have that capture the aesthetic. Here is a rundown of some trendy styles making the rounds this season.

First, the number one color of autumn 2023 is red! Just about every trend report and runway has red for fall, and the best part is you probably already have red in your wardrobe. Of course, not all reds are on trend. You want to steer clear of anything too reminiscent of holiday garb but instead lean into a bold and vibrant red. I love the idea of a little red dress or LRD for autumn. You can wear it casually with tights, boots, and a cardigan, or dress it up with hose, heels, and a blazer. Right now, both Old Navy and

J.Crew are featuring dresses on sale. I’m eyeing up the latter’s sleeveless ribbed sweater dress in classic cardinal and the former’s V-neck tiered mini swing dress in scarlet. Of course, the great thing about the red trend is that it’s not just limited to clothes; you can experiment with red via lipstick or nail polish.

You can’t have fall without back-to-school, and this year, the collegiate aesthetic is very much back in style. ink striped blazers, varsity jackets, pleated skirts, and penny loafers. Right now, Target’s designer collaboration with Rowing Blazers has academia-inspired garb for the whole family: rugby shirts, plaid pants, crisp button-downs, and oversized shawl-collar cardigans. Of course, this trend can skew a bit young. A middle-aged mom of two doesn’t necessarily want to look like she’s crossing the quad, even if she’s doing a school run. I’d approach this trend with caution and mix in some denim with your tweed to balance out the look. Pair your insignia blazer with jeans or a mid-length school-uniform-inspired skirt with a cham-

bray button-down. Again, try to avoid a head-to-toe ivy prep out t. Another school-related trend this season are old-school ladylike top-handle bags. A hard-shell, structured purse is a great way to add polish to your autumnal look. ey can be leather, mock crock, or even acrylic for some Art Deco air. Nordstrom, Amazon, and Etsy all have top-handled square bags, but for my money, I really prefer a vintage buy. Or better yet, a vintage borrow! It may be time to check out Grammy’s attic for some truly old-school classic handbags this season.

From bags to shoes, this fall is seeing ballet ats and Mary Janes trending. You can double down on this style with Lucky Brand’s Emjane Mary Jane ballet at from DSW. Or go with a classic like Sam Edelman’s Tahira Mary Jane block heel, with a double-strap and square toe for a 60’s Mod feel. For basic ats, I need some functionality along with fashion, which can be found with Allbirds’ Tree Breezers at that is made from renewable materials, is machine washable, and conforms to your feet, all while being sleek and available in a variety of colors.

For outwear, longline coats are this season’s stylish go-to. Whether streamlined or oversized, a longer overcoat has underlying functionality

while also giving o a re ned and sophisticated yet understated style.

H&M’s Tie Belt coat in black, light beige, grey, or light brown is giving all of the fall feels, especially when paired with a turtleneck and loose trousers. Macy’s also has a wide selection of longer-length coats. I’m loving Michael Kor’s Single-Breasted Coat as well as Calvin Klien’s Belted Faux-Leather trench for an edgy take to fall fashion.

Lastly, for accessories, you have dramatic earrings, which is a trend you can get a lot of mileage from with little e ort. You can completely change up the feel of a look with modern sculptural earrings or oversized dangling earrings. A tee and jeans out t can go from casual to fun with a pair of conversation-starter earrings. For fall, the quirkier, the better, I say. Check out the novelty earrings on o er at ModCloth or browse Etsy for some cra -inspired earbobs. Save the gold and silver for the holidays.

Again, you may already have items in your wardrobe that speak to these trends, so best to do a closet clean out before making a shopping list if fall fashion is in your budget. For my part, I’ll be thri ing for a top-handle bag and some red corduroy while wearing my black ballet ats, jeans, a tweedy blazer, and some clip-on earrings.

The Bookworm Sez

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

“ e League of Lady Poisoners,” written and illustrated by Lisa Perrin c.2023, Chronicle Books

$24.95

208 pages

e bon-bons look absolutely yummy.

You heard there’s a special creme inside them, so you’ll be sure to have one or ve. e pies smell delicious; sweetness and a nip of sour, your favorite. Cake, cookies, pile that plate and forget the diet. As in the new book, “ e League of Lady Poisoners,” written and illustrated by Lisa Perrin, some foods are simply to die for.

Poor Lucrezia Borgia.

Born in 1480 and rumored to be the love child of a Pope, it’s said that Lucrezia had a ring she wore everywhere. Supposedly, inside this beautiful piece of jewelry was a hidden compartment that held a Borgia specialty – a poi-

son that, when it bene ted Lucrazia or her family (or both), was dumped into her enemy’s food.

Problem is, says Perrin, there’s no hard evidence that Lucrezia did what she’s accused of doing.

History likes to blame women of poisoning their lovers or others, and o en for good reason: “most murderers are men,” says Perrin, but “when

women commit homicide, they are more likely to choose poison than a man is...”

Keeping that fact in mind, says Perrin, we can’t lose sight of another truism: centuries ago, when men held all the cards and women had few, if any, rights, women used poison because it was their best, most easily obscured way out of a bad situation.

“If you can look more closely at these women poisoners,” Perrin says, “you might... see their humanity as well...”

ere were, for instance, “professional poisoners” like Locusta, who worked as a hired assassin in rst-century Rome, and Giulia Tofana, who helped women escape “abusive relationships.” Just more than a century ago, women of Nagyrev in Hungary partook in a “poisoning epidemic” to escape violent husbands.

Sally Bassett provided poison to her granddaughter for use against those who enslaved her. Mary Ann Cotton may’ve been one of England’s most proli c poisoners and in the U.S., Belle Gunness killed and killed and may have gotten away with it...

Here’s something you don’t see very o en: a true crime book with a some-

what-lighthearted theme that begs its readers to be kind when considering its subjects. No,

“ e League of Lady Poisoners” isn’t mawkishly sentimental, but it isn’t sensational, either.

at o ers readers a chance to look at old murders in a di erent light.

ere’s no denying that author-illustrator Lisa Perrin includes some horrible killers in this book, alongside tales of women who found themselves backed into a corner and did what they had to do. Easing the mood, there’s a little silliness tucked here and there, but you’ll mostly see that this book leans on women’s history as much as it does on true crime – and it does so with behindthe-scenes info that invites you feel a surprising sense of compassion.

at makes “ e League of Lady Poisoners” one of the most unusual, but welcome, true crime volumes you’ll ever read, and one of the most thought-provoking. Look for it and you’ll see that this is a tasty little book.

FA CAR CARE

What Certain Noises May Indicate About Your Car

Automobiles have come a long way since their introduction more than 100 years ago.

ough modern cars and trucks still employ some of the same principles as their forebears, the vehicles people drive today bear little resemblance to those that made waves in the early part of the twentieth century.

Modern automobiles are technological marvels, which has made both driving and maintaining a vehicle much simpler. In regard to maintenance, built-in diagnostic systems can now alert drivers when something is wrong with their vehicles. ough that feature is undeniably useful, drivers can still bene t from learning to recognize issues by ear. Many issues that can a ect a car or truck produce unusual sounds, and learning what certain noises may indicate can help drivers detect problems as soon as possible.

Rattling sound in a wheel well: Most people have mistakenly placed clothing

in a dryer without realizing they had spare change in their pockets. at mistake is immediately apparent once the dryer starts thanks to the unpleasant noise of coins bouncing o the interior of the machine. Drivers may hear a similar sound when behind the wheel and wonder what’s behind it. Such a sound is o en indicative that there’s a loose lug nut inside the hubcap. is issue can arise when drivers don’t tighten the wheel properly a er changing their own tire, or if mechanics make the same mistake when rotating or replacing tires during a routine maintenance session.

Squeaking sound: e auto insurance experts at Geico® note that rear-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles may produce a rhythmic squeaking sound when an issue arises with the universal joint.

JD Power notes that the universal joint, o en referred to as a U-joint, is part of the system that enables the rotating cranksha in the engine of a vehicle to transfer that rotating motion to the rear

wheels. U-joints get a workout whenever vehicles are driven, so they require maintenance, and a squeaking sound is one indicator that the U-joint needs to be addressed immediately.

Squealing sound: A high-pitched squealing sound is typically indicative of worn out brake pads. However, Cars. com notes that if such a sound is only present when a car is rst driven in the morning, it could just be surface rust being scraped o the rotors. A er a few initial applications of the brakes, that sound might disappear. If it doesn’t, the vehicle will likely need new brake pads.

Scraping on the windshield during

rain: e scraping sound on a windshield when the wipers are in use should not be taken lightly or be interpreted as a sign that the rain is only falling slightly. In fact, that sound indicates the wipers are worn out, which means they’re not e ectively clearing the windshield. In addition, the wipers could be scratching the windshield each time they produce this sound, ultimately necessitating a costly windshield replacement. Wiper blades can be replaced in a matter of minutes, so address this issue promptly. Learning to recognize the culprits behind various vehicle noises can help drivers nip problems in the bud before they compromise the automobile and the safety of the people inside it.

What to do About Headlight Glare When Driving at Night

In recent years, many a motorist has noticed how much more glare they encounter on the road at night than they used to. e headlights that are now standard in many vehicles can be a catch-22. Drivers of vehicles equipped with LED lights o en nd the road in front of them is much more illuminated than it was in the days when auto manufacturers built cars and trucks with incandescent lights. However, the bright light emitted by LED headlights can increase glare for

oncoming motorists, making the roads more dangerous for all.

Headlight glare has long been a problem for many drivers. In fact, as far back as 2001 the Highway Tra c and Safety Administration sought input from the public regarding headlight glare. A subsequent report noted that the issue compelled more responses than any other safety concern, and it’s likely that a similar request would generate an even greater response today.

LED lights might be a problem for

millions of motorists, but the e ciency and longevity of these lights makes it unlikely that auto manufacturers will shi to an alternative light source anytime soon. Until that time comes, drivers can try these strategies to combat glare when driving at night. – Avoid looking directly at oncoming headlights. It’s important that drivers keep their eyes on the road at all times, but they should be able to do so without staring directly at oncoming lights. In North America, where oncoming tra c is always on the le , drivers can slightly shi their focus to the right as lights are

oncoming. Doing so should allow them to keep their eyes on the road without staring directly into oncoming lights.

– Purchase night driving glasses. Drivers can consider night driving glasses if they’re having a lot of trouble with glare. Such glasses di er depending on the manufacturer, but they’re generally intended to reduce glare and re ections from headlights and street lamps.

– Investigate wiper blades. Glare from oncoming headlights contribute to visibility problems when driving at night, and old wiper blades can exacerbate those problems. Old wiper blades can

be compromised by a buildup of dirt and o en wear down over time. When coupled with glare, this can signicantly reduce visibility at night. Each manufacturer is di erent, but Ford recommends replacing wiper blades once every 12 months.

– Clean the interior of your windshield. A dirty windshield interior also can exacerbate glare. Grit and dirt build up inside of a vehicle over time, and they can accumulate on the windshield just as easily as they do in a cup holder, on an armrest or on the dashboard. Various products are designed specically for cleaning interior windshields, and these could help reduce glare at

night.

Glare can make nighttime driving very di cult. Fortunately, drivers can take many steps to reduce glare from oncoming headlights.

County Hall Corner: The No Hate Debate

By Larry Stout

If there is one prevailing aspect of today’s political climate, it is hate. And hate has no boundaries, so even a simple forum of four potential county commissioners could have turned into a shouting match. Instead, the program that took place on Tuesday, October 3rd, at the Eagle Grange #1 in Montgomery was more like a family gathering. e four candidates were not just civil to one another; they were courteous and even gracious to one another, to the point that Scott Metzger, a Republican, noted that it was Democrat Denitra Mo ett’s birthday.

e four candidates had one incumbent, Scott Metzger, and the other candidates were Republican Mark Sortman and Democrats Mark Mussina and Denitra Mo ett. Jason Fink, Director of the Lycoming County/Williamsport Chamber of Commerce, was the facilitator and deserves a commendation as he kept the program on schedule primarily by keeping the candidates within their time limitations (no easy task!)

Scott Metzger was obviously the one most knowledgeable about

county government, having served as a Lycoming County Commissioner for the past four years. His answers to the questions were more precise and detailed than the others. roughout his tenure, Scott has consistently focused on what he knows is the right path, even when it was not popular. A good example of this was his answer to the question of the greatest need in the county; he started with the levee certi cation. I would wager that the vast majority of our county population has no idea what this is, but a major ood could destroy our county’s economy. e levee is what prevents this, and its recerti cation has been a major project for the county, city, townships, and boroughs along the river for the past few years. Metzger gave the right answer, even though most of the folks in the room were probably wondering why he would rate that as the number one focus.

e other Republican was Loyalsock Township Supervisor Mark Sortman. Mark’s experience has been his years serving as a township supervisor, which he prefaced in almost every answer he gave. In fact, toward the end, he even apol-

ogized that he had referenced this so many times. But the point he made was a good one — he has experience in local government and has found a way to improve the overall quality of life in his area.

Mark Mussina, one of the Democratic candidates, brought a lot of life to the event. He is one who has had success in many areas of his life and is not intimidated by challenges, no matter what they might be. His robust answers brought many smiles and were far more honest and animated than any potential politician I have seen. rough his spirited responses, he emphasized that the answer to the county’s challenges must be accomplished by working together.

Denitra Mo ett, the other Democratic candidate, also brought some life with her southern accent and strong convictions. She brought a di erent view to many of the questions, for example, emphasizing the need for compassion and help for mothers who must juggle work with childcare and the need for more activity options for young people. She is certainly an anomaly in that she has served in a very responsible position in the US Army and been deployed in the Middle East, but her heart and soul are for the neglected and hurting. She is a novice when it comes to coun-

ty government, and indeed a long shot, to be sure, but her voice is one that is worth hearing.

Lycoming County has a lot to be proud of, and not the least is the quality of those who are running for these important o ces and their respect for their colleagues. Ironically, the day before this event, in Washington, D.C., the US House of Representatives voted to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his leadership role. It was the rst time in the House of Representatives history that the chamber voted to boot o the chairman. History may remember it as the Great Hate Mistake.

In conclusion, a giant attaboy needs to go to the Eagle Grange and their dozen or so volunteers who went above and beyond the call of duty in their hosting for the event. e Grange Hall has been completely renovated and looks great. In addition, the Grange volunteers had a wide assortment of refreshments (all homemade!) and even had a ra e with door prizes of yummy food items and beautiful owers. eir next fundraiser is a takeout Turkey Dinner with all the trimmings for a suggested donation of $13. If interested, contact Daisy Steer at 570-546-5861 no later than October 30th, as the pickups will be from 2-4 p.m. at the Eagle Grange Hall on Rt 15 & Blind Road in Montgomery on Saturday, November 4th.

Chronic Wasting Disease

(CWD) was rst noted in 1967 in research on mule deer herds in Colorado. By the late 1970s, it was recognized in captive facilities in Colorado and Wyoming in mule deer, black-tailed deer, and elk.

In 1981, the disease was rst identi ed in the wild in elk in Colorado, followed by mule deer in 1985 in Colorado and Wyoming. CWD spread to captive herds in Saskatchewan, Canada, in the mid1990s, then to wild cervids by 2000.

movement, followed by an obvious and consistent weight loss over time. Excessive salivation and grinding of the teeth have also been observed. Increased drinking and urination happen, which may contribute to spreading the disease.

CWD is caused by a prion — an abnormal form of a normal protein that is most commonly found in the central nervous system but can spread to the peripheral nervous system, thus infecting meat, or muscle, of deer and elk. Research indicates that prions can be excreted by deer or elk and are transmitted by eating grass growing in contaminated soil. An infected deer’s saliva can spread the CWD prions; thus, exposure between animals is associated with the sharing of food and water sources contaminated with CWD prions shed by diseased animals.

In 2001, CWD was identi ed in whitetailed deer in South Dakota wild herds, and in a captive herd in Nebraska. In the years following, the spread reached Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Utah, Illinois, Kansas, Virginia, North Dakota, and Iowa and nally reached Pennsylvania in 2012. Today, CWD has been con rmed in at least 30 states and four Canadian provinces. Today, it has been reported in white-tailed deer, mule deer, black-tailed deer, caribou, moose, and elk.

Although no current evidence links CWD to human health, it is recommended that people do not consume, distribute, or donate for human consumption a known or suspected CWD-positive animal.

Since its initial discovery in Pennsylvania in 2012, the number of reported cases of CWD has been increasing. In 2016, 25 free-ranging deer were positively identi ed as infected with CWD. In 2017, 78 free-ranging deer were detected in Pennsylvania — more than three times the previous year.

Seventy- ve of the free-ranging positives were either within or near the boundaries of Disease Management Area 2 (DMA 2) in southcentral Pennsylvania, and the other three were within or near DMA 3 in northwestern Pennsylvania. DMA 4 has been added in the Lancaster County area to help combat and monitor the spread of CWD. Today, we are up to DMA 7, which is, unfortunately, in the southeastern part of Lycoming County and portions of surrounding counties to the east and south.

Currently, it is illegal to feed deer within the DMAs. Hunters are prohibited from transporting high-risk deer parts (generally the head and backbone) from deer they have taken within a DMA to points outside the DMA. Further, the

use or eld possession of urine-based deer attractants is also prohibited within DMAs.

While we once considered CWD a problem that only occurred “out west,” it has taken a foothold within our state and continues to spread. As sportsmen, we must pay close attention to this threat and comply with current regulations to do our part in helping stem the expansion of this disease.

Take time to become familiar with the signs the infected animals display and use common sense precautions in handling any animal or carcass that might be CWD-positive.

e task of hunters in the ght against CWD is to slow the spread and help buy time for science to nd solutions. Researchers recently announced that they tested an experimental CWD vaccine based on a new understanding of CWD prion structure and produced a measurable immune-system response in elk. e next testing phase will involve whitetails and will begin in 2024.

It is critical that each of us, whether we are hunting out west or staying within the con nes of Pennsylvania, learn as much as possible about CWD and what it means to the future of deer hunting. Please refer to pages 31-33 of the current Pennsylvania Hunting & Trapping Digest for a comprehensive presentation of the regulations regarding CWD in our state.

Moving into the early fall period can be a real dilemma for people like me who love hunting and shing. Hunting seasons are underway, and some great shing can still be available. Case in point: I was talking with an avid trout angler recently, and he told me a few weeks back he picked up a decent bunch of trout while shing beetle patterns on the surface. at same week, I had several people tell me about the nice bucks they were able to take on the rst day of the archery season.

e truth is that the rst week or two of archery deer season can be very produc-

tive. ink about it: the woods have pretty much been le alone all summer, and the deer have been le undisturbed. Now is a good time to locate a stand between bedding areas and frequented feeding areas. Getting into a stand in that early season before other hunters have been roaming all over your territory, disturbing the normal deer behavior can be bene cial. As we move towards the latter part of the archery season, the “rut” becomes a major factor and can also be a very rewarding time to hunt.

e rut is de ned as the actual breeding period; does’ estrogen levels start to climb,

ent, and buck testosterone levels also peak, setting the stage for the rutting period. Bucks begin moving more during the daylight hours, rubbing, scraping, chasing does, and ghting other bucks. Archery hunters know that locating a stand along a line of scrapes might very well lead to a chance at a good buck. e

rut is also a good time to make use of some calling techniques, especially during the “seeking phase” of the rut when bucks are more apt to encounter other bucks seeking a er available does.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, not only is fall a great time for archery deer hunting and other small game, but it’s also a good time to hit some local streams. I think this year might be especially productive since we have had a good amount of rain, and our streams and rivers have remained at good levels, helping to keep trout and bass in more suitable surroundings. Most streams may not o er much in the way of hatching activity but make no mistake about it — it’s still a good time to hit the stream with a y rod. Now is a good

time to present an assortment of surface patterns and terrestrials like beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, and one of my favorites, the ant pattern.

Oh yeah, it’s also one of the best times to hit the river or a lake for both largemouth bass and smallmouth bass. Surface lures can be very productive, but so are a lot of other lures like minnow imitations, spinnerbaits, worm and lizard patterns, nedrigs, and an assortment of jig patterns. Oh, that’s right, fall is one of the best times to be on a lake for pan sh like bluegills, perch, and one of my favorites-crappies. For the most part, as the water temperatures begin to cool, it’s probably best to sh the deeper water or transition areas. Use a depth nder and locate schools, and go to work with a

light spinning out t and small jig heads tipped with about inch and a half tubes or so plastic grubs.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention — fall is also the time to be on the lookout for mushrooms. My wife and I have already enjoyed several meals of Hen-of-the-Woods, Giant Pu alls, and Gem-studded Pu alls. Warning: do not pick or eat wild mushrooms unless you know exactly what you are picking since some mushrooms can make you sick or even cause death.

Well, a er reading this, if you haven’t found anything to hunt for this fall, remember that Christmas is coming, and you can go shopping.

It was a private ceremony without any witnesses. In the approaching twilight of October’s rst day, the annual ritual was carried out with the solemn resolve that the MLB season had concluded in much the same manner as recent seasons.

As an ardent and all too o en su ering fan of the Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates, my rooting interests are annually observed with placards of both teams adorning our backyard patio. Each season, on opening day, the signs are summoned from their winter resting place and hung with care as testimony to the annual hope for a successful season.

Once the season concludes for the Beantown and the Steel City squads, their tributes are removed and once again placed in storage with care and ‘wait until next year’ hopes, keeping them anticipative through winter’s long chill.

Long ago, Little League Baseball CEO Dr. Creighton Hale and I shared a profound rooting interest for the Red

Scott Lowery

Sox. We o en remarked to each other that Opening Day was the best day of the year for baseball fans. We shared a few books that expressed our optimism that eventually led to disappointment until that wonderful year of 2004 when the ‘curse of the Bambino’ was nally put to bed with the team’s rst World Championship since 1918, breaking an 86-year drought. But those glorious accomplishments seem a bit like ancient history. e Sox nished the season with the same 7884 record as last season, their second consecutive last-place nish in the American League East and third in the last four seasons. During that stretch, the team compiled a losing record of 272-274.

Although the Pirates showed some marked improvement this year, nishing 14 games better than last season, their 76-86 record was two games worse than Boston’s. e team did escape the basement of the National League Central, but their four-year record of 218-328 has Bucco fans still talking about their 1979 ‘We

are Family’ World Series victory. While the NFL was stealing the spotlight on October’s rst Sunday, I spent the a ernoon, clicker in hand, keeping tabs on baseball’s nal games. Repeatedly switching channels to view the Astros and Rangers’ chase for the AL West title, the Braves’ pursuit of the single-season home run record, and the nostalgic nales of the Red Sox and Pirates le me immersed in my lifelong love for the game.

Both my teams won the season’s 162nd game, meaningless victories in the grand scheme of things, but like ending a good meal with a tasty dessert, it helped ease the ‘ nality’ of once again putting those signs away well short of any post-season glory.

Baseball announcers o en cite their home team fans as the ‘best in baseball’, an accolade completely unable to be proven. But the Pirates annually close out their home season in a way that becomes totally memorable for their loyal following. Fans in attendance are randomly selected to come onto the eld at the conclusion of the game and receive ‘the shirt o the backs’ of Pirates players.

Each player met the fan to receive their jersey and signed the jersey before presenting it to the fan. I have been there to witness this in prior seasons,

but watching it on TV made it even more impressive. ese weren’t just ‘here it is and ee moments.’ e players lingered on the eld, talking, and taking pictures with fans, seemingly enjoying the moment and not anxious to leave the eld.

Elsewhere around the league, the curtain coming down was far less pleasurable. ree managers lost their jobs: the Mets’ Buck Showalter, the Giants’ Gabe Kapler, and the Angels’ Phil Nevin (with more likely to follow). Fans of the big-spending Yankees, Mets, and Padres experienced seasons they would just as soon forget. e proud St. Louis Cardinals limped home in last place with a record of 71-91, their worst mark since 1990.

As this week’s League Divisional Series got underway, four of those playo qualifying teams have already packed their gear and gone home.

e remaining eight have their sights set on the chill of November baseball when the World Series champion will be crowned.

e baseball season has o en been referred to as a marathon, not a sprint, but for those who follow the game with daily fan interest, there is always next year! e countdown to pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training next February has already begun.

Rose Wheeland passed away late this spring. She was one of my all-time favorites. Rose was quite the character. Sassy. Intimidating. Stubborn. But she had a great heart. We worked very closely when I was at White Deer. Rose was the face of our Women’s Golf Association for many years. She always found me when something went wrong. I had several colorful interactions with Rose. Unfortunately, I cannot share. Webb Weekly is a family newspaper. Rose was so kind when she learned that I had become a father. She would always ask about my son Jensen.

Rose made it to 93. My friend retired in 1995 a er 38 years with Brodart. She was originally from Philadelphia, but she spent most of her time in Newberry.

Rose loved the game. She played golf until the very end. A few mentioned that Rose even teed it up with an ox-

ygen tank. She was tough and proud. Rose Wheeland spent years and hours perfecting her game. She made so many friends along the way. Rose also enjoyed traveling and playing cards. She followed the Eagles and cheered for the Phillies. Rose Wheeland was grand.

I was certainly pleased to see the gals at White Deer renamed the Marion Stopper to the Rose Wheeland Memorial. is large ladies’ golf tournament has been a staple. is year’s outing was one to remember. ere was a great turnout. I caught up with Bernie Ragan this week to talk about it.

“Rose was special,” Bernie stated. “She was our matriarch. Rose was so helpful to us all. She had her own way of doing things, but it was always for our best. We have

talked about her quite o en. ere are so many fun moments. She is missed. We felt we needed to change the name of the tournament to honor her and her family.”

ere was a great turnout. Over 64 players from near and far teed it up in the Rose Wheeland Memorial. Gals traveled from Altoona and Bethlehem. Many local clubs like Wynding Brook, Clinton, Williamsport, and Belles Springs were also represented. e ladies played in a very fun format — the old six, six, and six. e rst six holes were a better ball of partners. e next six were a two-person scramble. And the last six were an alternate shot. I love this setup. e scores were impressive. But everyone came home as winners. e weather? Well. It was cold

and windy with some showers. Not the most ideal, but the gals didn’t complain. Rose Wheeland most de nitely had something to do with the conditions. Many of the ladies blamed her for getting even.

“We received several notes about the tournament,” Bernie continued. “It ran great, and it was very well organized. e food and setting were just splendid. Everyone enjoyed themselves despite the weather. We had so many people pitch in — over 75 items for our silent Chinese auction. One of our friends, Lucy from Florida, gave each participant a lovely tee gi . Candy Nevel and Ellie Tomlinson made the sweetest tributes to Rose on each hole — some of her great sayings. ‘YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE RULES.’ It was a fantastic day for us and the entire Wheeland family.”

Bernie applauded the entire Women’s Golf Association. She also praised Mary Camp, Candy Nevel, Ellie Tomlinson, Peg Dincher, Dorothy Smith, Michelle LaBelle, Judy Mays, and Deb Bowers, who served on the Rose Wheeland Memorial Committee. Great stu , gals, and thank you for honoring Rose. Talking with Bernie brought back so many memories. Man. I miss those WDGC ladies. It was great to catch up and hear about the fun tournament. Bravo. Much love to one of my favorites. Cheers Rose.
