Navigating the Future Together

Aer watching the disastrous collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, I kept a close eye on what followed. I will withhold my thoughts until I have some more solid knowledge about the plan of attack to quickly reopen one of the most important American harbors. at is where my thoughts immediately turned, a er a quick prayer for those lost and their families.

e event put the magnifying glass on many of the problems facing our Nation. My approach this week is to stay out of the political and supersized government mud industry. Here are some thoughts I’ve shared with you previously.

It’s o en di cult to nd the truth and actual facts. It doesn’t matter what source you choose for the information; it is being driven by analytics trying to prove a fact driven by money and power. en you throw in social media, which creates a feeding frenzy for a conspiracy theory and the agenda-driven.

I have never seen our Nation more divided and torn further apart on whatever the problem, thought, or issue appears to be. is plays out daily by those elected to lead us in Washington. Common sense and compromise, along with a sense of urgency for what’s best for most Americans, have all but become a thing of the past.

e electronic devices at everyone’s ngertips seem to fuel division, especially on social media.

e American people must rise above this and come to this realization. We are so very blessed to call the United States of America our home. Even though times may be tough right now, I still believe there is plenty of opportunity to choose whatever you would like to pursue in life. is needs to be celebrated and appreciated by all. We cannot allow whatever the source is to keep growing hatred and division. I believe that, whatever your political a liation is, most want the same thing — a better future for themselves, their children, and their grandchildren.

United is the keyword because as the division grows, so does the chance for a troubled and failed America.

We must return to understanding that it’s OK to disagree on issues; that is how America was founded and has continued to grow and move forward. We must be more understanding and not expect everyone to agree with our thoughts. e idea of attacking an individual because they don’t have the same beliefs as you must stop — especially when provoked by social media and unproven facts. Most of which are o en unjusti ed and untruths. “We e People” must move forward together and understand it’s OK to agree to disagree.

ose elected to serve the American people must set the example of how to work together for the good of our Nation. Compromise must return. Even if they don’t like the person on the other side of the political aisle, a show of respect goes a long way in solving problems and building a better future.

As I travel through our local communities and see all the progress being made, I’m grateful for our locally elected leaders. is shows me that the two-party system and the ability of Republicans and Democrats to work together is alive and well. I applaud anybody who wants to throw their hat in the political ring and serve the American people because I understand the scrutiny they are under.

As citizens of our great Nation, it’s up to us through the power of our vote to make changes if someone fails to perform their elected duties. is begins with the most locally elected and continues all the way up the ladder to the president.

In closing things out this week, with the kids back outside enjoying Spring activities, please be extra careful while driving. Of course, this time of year, the highway construction workers will be in full swing xing up and repairing our roadways. It is important to look for and prepare for changed tra c patterns. Please pay extra close attention in work zones for the safety of everyone.

God Bless America.

Building Connected Communities

By Steph Nordstrom

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) commemorates the start of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) in April with their “Building Connected Communities” campaign. e campaign “upli s the role of inclusive, equitable, and connected communities in reducing sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. Community is an integral part of all our lives, and the health and well-being of our communities shape our lives. During this month-long campaign, NSVRC will be reinforcing that whenever anyone experiences sexual violence, every community member is a ected. By working to promote the collective well-being of our communities, we are also bu ering against the risk of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment.”

One in Two. at’s the number of women who have experienced sexual violence other than rape in their lifetime. at’s 50 percent of women if you care to do the math. e number is one in ve for men.

One in Five. at’s the number of women who have experienced completed or attempted rape in their lives. While the number is quite a bit lower, I still nd one in sixty-seven men to be startling.

Keep in mind with these numbers that almost 67% of rapes are estimated to go unreported, according to the US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics.

One in ree. at’s the number of women who have experienced physical or sexual vio-

lence by an intimate partner.

ink about the number of women you have in your life, then take another look at these numbers. What do you think the chances are that at least one of them hasn’t experienced some sort of sexual violence at some point in their life?

Add this to one in six boys being sexually abused before the age of 16. Add that to 41 percent of women reporting physically aggressive street harassment. Again, I ask, what do you think the chances are that someone you know or love hasn’t been a victim of some type of sexual violence?

So what can we do?

Chances are, someone you know is a survivor of sexual violence. ey may not have told anyone for fear of being judged or blamed. If someone in your life is considering sharing something personal, they listen to your opinions and attitude for clues on how you may respond. A comment or joke based on stereotypes may not seem like a big deal, but it could impact someone’s ability to have the courage to talk to you or anyone else about what happened to them.

Don’t wait for a critical moment to say the right things. e words you choose every day communicate your beliefs. When you hear comments that blame victims or don’t take sexual assault seriously — speak up. You may not have a perfect response, but never hide that you are not OK with what is being said. Show that you don’t believe in stereotypes, believe in survivors, and are safe to talk to.

To have a better conversation about sexual violence, it’s important to understand sexual vio-

lence. Sexual violence is any type of unwanted sexual contact. is can include sexual harassment, catcalling, nonconsensual sharing of private images, obviously sexual assault and rape.

Also, understand that anyone can experience sexual violence, including children, teens, adults, and seniors.

Victims o en know the person who sexually assaulted them, family, friends, and partners — they may use manipulation, threats, or force to commit violence.

Please remember that victims are NEVER to blame. Remember that earlier stat of an estimated 67% of sexual assaults going unreported? I bet my paycheck that most of that is due to concern over not being believed or fear of being shamed or made to feel like it was somehow the victim’s fault.

If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual assault, I encourage you to get help. In the immediate sense, contact law enforcement or ask to be seen by a member of the Sexual Assault Forensic Nurse Examiners Nurse Team (SAFNET) at any of the UPMC emergency rooms. A member is always on call to help.

In the broader sense, if you or someone you know needs help or counseling or you want to do more to prevent sexual violence, I encourage you to contact the YWCA. ey can point you in the right direction.

Remember that healing and justice look different to every survivor. Not all will choose the criminal justice system, and healing is an ongoing process. Be there for them the best you can, and reach out for professional help if needed.

Sexual violence thrives when it isn’t taken seriously, and your voice is essential in setting the record straight.

County Hall Corner D.C. Corrupts Even LLWS

By Larry Stout

Most of us who live paycheck to paycheck (or, in my case, from Social Security deposit) do not understand what makes the rich tick. Yes, we know that they can get to wear the nest clothes, go to the nicest restaurants, travel wherever they want, etc., but the rich generally take all that for granted. What gives them a rush is power. Money can open doors, make things happen that they want to happen, and, if necessary, even make its own rules.

Unfortunately, we see this on display in our nation’s capital. Like other communities around the world, residents in Washington, D.C., enjoy Little League baseball. However, the D.C. area is an upper-class community. It is not because of the weather that eight of the ten highest-income counties in the nation are clustered in this area. Given this, kids interested in baseball would probably have a lot going for them in the way of special trainers or baseball camps to become better baseball players.

So, it should not have been particularly unusual or surprising that in last year’s LLWS competition, the team from the Washington, D.C. division was just one

game away from heading to Williamsport to represent the Mid-Atlantic Region in the Little League World Series. However, there was more to this than met the eye.

An article in the Washington Post in August of 2023 noted, “A bench-clearing brawl of sorts has broken out over alleged cheating in a Little League serving one of the District’s wealthiest neighborhoods. Not among the kids, of course.”

e issue involved Northwest Washington Little League (NWLL) president Ricky Davenport- omas stacking his league with the best players even beyond its area. Essentially, he was ignoring Little League’s strict eligibility rules to poach talented players from other city Little Leagues.

See COUNTY HALL on Page 12

COUNTY HALL

And it worked. e NWLL was equivalent to an all-star team playing against the regulars. Many NWLL games went into a mercy rule because they almost always had double-digit leads by the third inning or sooner. Yet, as the competition got better, they ran into trouble. e NWLL got to the Mid-Atlantic tournament, where the winner would go to the Little League World Series, but they lost in the nals.

on the team is going to be one of the “investigators,” we can be assured that everything is going to be above board. I sincerely doubt that the rest of us could get away with this con ict of interest. And I bet I can give the outcome of the “blueribbon panel” — a er a full study of all the evidence, no actual fraud is evident, so let’s all move along now, nothing to see.

Late last month, the Wall Street Journal picked up the progress of this scandal in hearings and a “blue-ribbon panel.” Truth be told, this is an issue that everyone wants to hide under the rug, and this is a great example of how it is done in Washington, D.C. Someone gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar. en, there is an investigation, and there will be experts who are called in (“blue-ribbon panel”). From this will come the decision that buries the issue.

In this case, the hearing selected a special counsel, which appointed the law rm Steptoe, which specializes in government investigations and high-stakes litigation. We are to ignore “the fact that a Steptoe partner’s child was on an NWLL team was completely unrelated to Steptoe taking on this case and its work on the case,” stated the new Northwest Washington Little League president Ashleigh Coniglio. So, even though a parent whose son was

is is how things are done in our nation’s capital. Even with Little League, if we want to make the equivalent of the 1927 New York Yankees that could annihilate all comers, we can change the rules to accomplish our goals because… well, because we can. And if we are challenged about anything, we will have our own judge and jury, so we will always win in the end anyway. ( at is, until they came up with a pretty scrappy Little League team from Media, Pennsylvania that gave them a real 16-3 beat down in the semi nal and 2-0 in the nal.)

Steve Haywood’s article “Our Ugly Ruling Class” in powerlineblog.com on the D.C. Little League scandal summed it up beautifully, “Yes, that is how ‘things o en go’ in Washington, but the real scandal is that we are governed, but these endlessly grasping, petty, and selfentitled people. Draining the swamp isn’t enough. Salt the earth inside the Beltway and pave it over.”

It makes sense that being around plants is good for you both mentally and physically. We are generally happier and less stressed when we are surrounded by plants, but is this science or all in our heads?

Well, research backs this up.

healthcare costs as there is evidence that it improved physical, psychological, and social health. In addition, they suggested that it could be important to public policy and that government organizations should consider gardening an important health intervention. O cials should also encourage gardening as a form of exercise for the public.

In fact, more and more, gardening has been shown to provide signi cant health bene ts. In a meta-analysis by Soga et al. published in Preventative Medicine Reports, researchers looked at 76 studies from the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East comparing the health e ects of gardening with control groups of non-gardeners. e studies showed health bene ts such as reduced depression and anxiety as well as decreased body weight and increased life satisfaction and sense of community.

e researchers went on to say that their ndings indicated that gardening had the potential to reduce worldwide

In another article published in the Royal College of Physicians, Journal of Clinical Medicine, author Richard ompson discussed the idea that there is increasing evidence that regular exposure to plants and green space, speci cally gardening, is bene cial to mental and physical health. He stated that if health professionals were to be more aggressive in their encouragement of gardening to their patients, it could actually reduce pressure on already overstretched

national health services. Thompson went on to say that to accomplish this, authorities would need to increase the number of trees and public open spaces. Additionally, this would help to counteract the effects of pollution and climate change.

Taking this thought one step further, gardening may be an alternative to certain drug therapies or, at least, used in conjunction with existing therapies for things like anxiety and depression, as it is my personal opinion that there is an over-prescription of medication in society in general. Thompson, based in the UK, suggests that health providers and government institutions can do better than simply prescribe medication for certain physical and mental ailments and that whole populations would be better off if we implemented some complementary therapies and gave patients more of a choice.

One such group of therapies that aims to treat the whole person is called Green Care, which is basically gardening and/or exposure to

plants. A study in Japan showed that observing nature and being around plants altered EEG recordings and reduced stress and sadness while also lowering blood pressure. Another study showed that when postoperative patients were surrounded by plants, they were able to reduce not only their pain but also the length of their hospital stay. Therapeutic gardens are another simple yet powerful intervention that has been used to heal the sick for thousands of years. These green spaces have been shown to ease patient stress and increase satisfaction with their care.

Not only do plants improve our state of mind, but they also improve our physical environment. Along with being visually appealing, certain plants have been shown to remove pollutants from the air, including dust, chemicals, and microorganisms. So, this spring, get outside and spend time in nature. Go for a hike, kayak a creek, or better yet, plant a garden. Surround yourself with greenery. Your mind and body will thank you.

Pennsylvania State Police Unveils

“PSP Tips” as Public’s New Crime-Fighting Tool

The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) today unveiled PSP Tips, a new way for the public to share information related to active investigations, cold-cases, the apprehension of wanted persons, or locating missing persons.

“Assistance from the public is often vital to solving crimes or locating missing or wanted individuals,” said Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens, Deputy Commissioner of Operations. “The social media platforms, the tollfree number, and the online tip form are all easy ways to send us information that may solve a case or get a dangerous individual off the streets.”

PSP Tips includes information on nearly 100 cold case homicides, missing persons, and other unsolved crimes. New cases will be added frequently.

Featured cases include the 1973 homicide of an 8-year-old girl in Greene County, the unsolved killing in 1977 of a high school junior in Blair County, the 1981 disappearance

of a Lackawanna County teenager, and the search for the children of Susan Reinert, a Montgomery County teacher found murdered near Harrisburg in 1979.

Your tip could provide investigators with a long-awaited breakthrough that will finally bring closure and justice for the victim’s families.

All information submitted to PSP Tips can be provided anonymously, if desired.

All cases in which PSP requests public assistance can be viewed at the following social media sites:

Facebook: https://www.facebook. com/PSPTips

Twitter: https://twitter.com/PSP_ TIPS

Each site provides a toll-free phone number, 1-800-4PA-TIPS (1-800472-8477), and a link to an online tip submission form, https://www.p3tips. com/tipform.aspx?ID=107.

Hey Webb family! Is everyone ready to get out of hibernation?

I think Mr. Punxsutawney Phil may have been right this year. It was a pretty nice March for the most part. Those sixty-degree days have been pretty awesome.

You all know just how much I love the seasons. Winter being ONE of my favorites. I am just so grateful that we here in PA get to enjoy the transition of each season.

After a cold winter slowly falls into spring, seeing everything come back to life is truly one of life’s simple pleasures.

Fall. Where everything is so bright and beautiful and the sound of leaves quickly falling to the ground. It’s amazing how God created each season with so much thought and beauty.

Don’t take this world for granted. Just look around. As everything starts fresh and new again, take a deep breath and thank God for making this world for you. I don’t care if you don’t like spring or if you don’t like winter. Each season was created in God’s eye — to give us a fresh start every few months.

Summer rolls in with the heat, but allows us so many fun outdoor activities like grilling, swimming, fireworks, boating, gardening, camping, and spur-of-the-moment ice cream trips.

Then, the days start to become shorter, the night grows chillier, and then BAM, my favorite season of all!

Stop and smell the tulips. Stop and smell the fresh-cut grass. Stop and smell that burger cooking on your neighbor’s outdoor grill. (Or don’t, because then you’ll want to invite yourself over for dinner! Ha!) But seriously, look at the joy that each season brings. Something NEW!

As we start a fresh new spring season this April, thank God for not only giving us his son to die on

the cross but for his continued love, even before we were born. It’s truly remarkable when you think about it. God’s love is everything!

You all know that breakfast is one of my favorite meals, and there is nothing like some breakfast potatoes to go with a tasty breakfast sammy or some eggs and ham with a side of taters. Hey, they don’t have to be for breakfast, though. Feel free to pair them with whatever meal you feel! These babies would go well with pretty much anything. So easy and makes a great side dish for any occasion. Enjoy!

Fried Taters Sausage and Onions

Ingredients:

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 4 large potatoes, cut into small cubes

– 1 large bell pepper or equal amounts of multicolored peppers, sliced – 1 small, sliced onion

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Dashing Salt to taste

Directions:

Fry taters in heated olive oil on medium heat in a large pan or skillet. Stir until everything is coated.

Season with all the seasonings. Stir again. Spread the taters across the pan and add 2 Tbsp. of water. Cover with lid and let cook for ten to fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the potatoes to start getting brown. Once the taters have started to soften and brown, add the onions and peppers. Continue to cook with the lid off. Add more water if needed, or even a little oil. Cook for another ten minutes. Taste and season more if needed. Everything will be ready to serve.

Makeup Tips for Glasses

Do

Do

y husband jokes that he hopes our children inherit my eyesight because he’s had to wear glasses since he was six. So far, the girls appear to have excellent eyes, like their mother. However, since turning 40, my eyesight has changed. In fact, most folks’ eyes do change as they age.

Bernadette Ulsamer

In middle age, the eye will harden as your lens becomes less flexible and can no longer shape to focus on close-up images. So, while my longdistance sight remains intact, these past few years, I’ve taken to wearing reading glasses for work, reading, and scrolling on my phone. Studies show that 1 in 28 Americans over 40 experience age-related vision loss — a rate expected to double by 2050, so glasses aren’t going anywhere. Whether prescription or drugstore readers, 64 percent of adults in the United States wear glasses, and for those of us who also wear makeup

regularly, knowing how to adjust makeup application is key when wearing frames. Here’s a rundown of makeup tips when wearing glasses. First, if you haven’t already, it may be time to rethink eyeshadow. Just by wearing glasses, you draw attention to your eyes. If you’re farsighted, your glasses will make your eyes look bigger, so you’ll want to be extra careful that everything is applied beautifully and well-blended. No more just swiping on some blue shadow. Instead, utilize a precision crease style brush to build up shadow and use varying grades of color for your lip, crease, and inner eye. If you’re near-sighted, your glasses may make your eyes appear smaller. To balance out that effect, opt for a light, flesh-toned, or white pencil along the waterline to open up the eyes.

Next up, lashes. Too-long lashes can be annoying when wearing glasses, as you don’t want them constantly

hitting your lenses. Skip the lengthening mascaras and instead choose one with a brush designed to fan your lashes out and up. Better yet, curling your lashes before mascara will help steer the hairs upwards versus straight out. Again, with eyes magnified, you’ll want a mascara that really separates the lashes, avoiding any clumps. If you are getting clumps, use an open safety pin and drag between each lash to essentially comb out the clumps. If the idea of potentially poking yourself in the eye with an open safety pin creeps you out, you may want to skip mascara on the upper lashes altogether and dial up the smaller, finer hairs on the lower lash line instead. And obviously skip false lashes and save those for contact days.

If you wear glasses all day or for long stretches, like 9-5, you may have noticed patches underneath your frames where your foundation has worn thin. To combat these dents in foundation, first put less foundation on your nose. Instead, use concealer around the area where your glasses rest and dab a bit over where the glasses sit on your nose. To help keep

foundation in place, try a setting spray to lock in your makeup look without drying out your skin. From foundation to blush. Careful blusher placement is key in refining your makeup-with-glasses look. Depending on where your frames sit on your face, your standard application of blush may be hidden. If your frames are on the smaller side, you can be fairly traditional and apply blush to the apples of the cheeks for a soft flush. For more oversized frames, you want to apply in a big soft ‘C’ shape, starting on your cheekbones and sweeping up to your temples. Again, set it with a misting spray so it won’t rub off. Lastly, make your lips a focal point. If eye makeup feels too daunting, or you just don’t have time in the morning to perfectly blend, switch the focus with some drama on your lips. A bold lip works with minimal makeup or is an unexpected addition to a no-makeup makeup look. And don’t forget your brows. Groomed brows and bright lips act as bookends and will add subtle structure to your face with minimal effort needed around the eyes.

UPMC Gynecologist: Understanding Endometriosis

Angela Huggler, M.D. UPMC Magee-Womens

Cramps and uncomfortableness are considered as a normal part of every menstruating person’s life. However, some people experience debilitating pain that leaves them unable to function for one week every month. When this happens, among other symptoms, a diagnosis of endometriosis might be in order. It’s time to talk openly about a condition that a ects one in 10 women.

What is Endometriosis?

During a menstrual cycle, tissues that line the uterus shred and exit through the vagina. ese tissues, called endometrium, grow outside the uterus for those that experience endometriosis. is means that the tissue has no way to exit the body, becomes trapped, and causes other problems like the formation of cysts, irritation of surrounding tissues that may develop into scar tissue, and abnormal bands of brous tissues that could cause pelvic organs and tissues to stick together. Symptoms of endometriosis may include:

– Unbearably painful menstrual cramps

– Chronic lower back and intestinal pain

– Digestive problems especially during your period

– Bleeding or spotting between periods

– Pain during or a er sex

– Infertility

Each person’s journey with endometriosis is di erent due to varying symptoms. For most, emotional challenges are just as present as the physical challenges.

Supporting Someone with Endometriosis

If your loved one has endometriosis, it’s important that they get the support they need. While it’s a fairly common condition, it is o en misunderstood. e following tips may be helpful in providing aid and comfort:

Be Flexible – Physical and emotional feelings can change from day-to-day when coping with endometriosis. It’s important to remain respectful throughout these changes as social plans or commitments may need to be altered.

Don’t Shut Down Communication – Some people are open to sharing about what they are going through while others wish to keep their journey more private. Either way, do your best to check in occasionally to see if you can o er support in some way.

Avoid Unwanted Guidance – While you may have good intentions, it’s best for medical experts to give advice. What helps one person may not help the other and o ering the wrong information may lead to minimizing that person’s experience

appointment to get a better understanding of the challenges they face. Support groups for endometriosis may also be available to attend.

Treatment Options

Usually, over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen, birth control for hormone therapy, and other drugs that stop the production of estrogen can help with endometriosis pain. Other times, surgery to remove abnormal tissues may be

appropriate.

No matter what is in store for endometriosis treatment, your team of doctors will provide the best plan available for your personal case. If you think you may have endometriosis or are experiencing pain that is a ecting your everyday life, do not hesitate to reach out to a medical provider for help.

LCUW Announces

Honoring a lifelong Lycoming County resident and leader, the Lycoming County United Way (LCUW) has selected Mr. Robert Glunk, Executive Chairman of Journey Bank, to receive the organization’s highest honor, the Douglas C. Dickey Humanitarian Award. e award will be presented at the organization’s Together United Annual Dinner and Awards Celebration on ursday evening, April 18, 2024,

in the Grand Ballroom at the Holiday Inn Downtown, 100 Pine Street, Williamsport.

e award is presented annually to individuals whose dedication, commitment, and outstanding leadership have signi cantly contributed to the welfare of Lycoming County. Presented annually since 1947, the award was renamed from the Lycoming United Way Award in 1997 to honor the memory of the late LCUW President Douglas C. Dickey, among those lost in the crash of TWA Flight 800.

“As a past award recipient myself, I know rst-hand the magnitude of this award, and I am pleased to welcome my friend and fellow Lycoming College alumnus, Rob Glunk, who has distinguished himself as a leader in this community for decades,” re ected Ron Frick, President of the Lycoming County United Way. “In addition to his time as a past campaign chair and the organization’s secretary, treasurer, and nance chair, Rob and his colleagues at Journey Bank and its predecessor banks have served our United Way in several ways, including assisting with annual resource development e orts, grantmaking activities, and volunteer-

ism during events and days of action, as well as service as members and ocers of our board of directors.” We are also honored to have this year’s award sponsored by Journey Bank.

In addition to his decades-long support of the United Way, Rob most recently served as the Chair of the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce. He was a past president of the now-a liated Jersey Shore Chamber of Commerce.

A career leader in the banking community, Rob has served in leadership of the Pennsylvania Banker’s Association and has been active in fundraising for multiple community organizations, including Jersey Shore Little League, Jersey Shore Hospital, Muncy Valley Hospital, and the Jersey Shore Public Library. Rob was also active in both the Jersey Shore and Montgomery Lions Clubs.

Several members of the nominating committee for the award, past recipients themselves, described Rob as a humble and quiet leader who is always available to help others.

Rob’s colleague, President and CEO of Journey Bank, Lance Diehl, shared, “It’s in Rob’s DNA to help people. His desire to solve problems and advance important causes shines through in his professional and personal life. As a community banker, he has devoted his career

to helping local individuals, families, and businesses on their financial journeys, and this same commitment extends to the communities and local organizations he’s been an integral part of for many years. Working alongside Rob is my honor and privilege, and I congratulate him on this distinguished award.”

In addition to the Dickey Award, the United Way will also recognize volunteer service and the role of women in leadership by presenting the Douglas J. Shangraw Memorial Volunteer Award, sponsored by Lycoming College, which is also serving as the event’s presenting sponsor, the President’s Award, sponsored by Weis Markets, and the Harriett Lenhart Memorial Women’s Leadership Award, sponsored by UPMC. Invitations to the event were designed and printed by Impact Advertising.

“We hope the community will come out and celebrate our accomplishments as an organization and recognize employees, companies, and volunteers who have helped us mobilize the collective resources of our communities for over 100 years,” said Patti Jackson-Gehris, LCUW Board Chair. “We have some fun things planned, including another silent auction, and hope to sell out the event as we have done the past few years.”

Thanks to the generosity of past

Dickey recipient and the current U.S. Ambassador to the Hellenic Republic, George Tsunis, and his wife Olga and Chartwell Hotels, community partners will be given two tickets to the event free of charge, and all net proceeds will support LCUW programs. Admission to the April 18 event is $30 per person, and tickets are available by calling the Lycoming County United Way office at 570-323-9448 or via email at slorson@ lcuw.org. Checks should be made payable to Lycoming County United Way. Checks and credit cards can be accepted in advance or at the door the night of the event.

About Lycoming County United Way Lycoming County United Way is a charitable nonprofit organization that builds partnerships to solve community problems and raises funds for human service programs. We fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community. Working with community partners, we mobilize community resources to strengthen families and change people’s lives in Lycoming, Sullivan, and Tioga counties.

Dr. Eisenhower Hits Spending, Compares Education Outlays

Federal spending could be cut by an amount equal to three times the cost of all levels of education and still leave the country enough for an adequate armed force and foreign aid, Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower declared last night.

The President of the Pennsylvania State College spoke before more than 350 alumni last night at the Lycoming Hotel. It was one of the largest Penn Stage events ever held in the area.

Sponsored by the Penn State Alumni Club, it attracted alumni from Milton, Lock Haven, Lewisburg, Selinsgrove, Sunbury and Coudersport.

Dr. Eisenhower is the brother of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, contender for the Republican presidential nomination, drew applause with a statement on the urgency for federal economy.

“The American people will not demand economy where it is needed in order that they have the essentials of life,” he said. Some of the essentials he listed were better schools, police and fire protection and highways and bridges.

It is these essentials which are being affected by a developing tax revolt the speaker said.

The taxpayers can get to their local and state legislators easier than their representatives in Washington, although it is at this level that they can get their schools and the other necessities of the American way of life.

Holding to the theory that “Penn State or any other institution should provide its graduates with fighting, abiding commitment to the democratic way of life,” Dr. Eisenhower told the audience that when such can be achieved no taxpayer should grumble.

Bosky (BOSS-kee, adj.) – A bosk is a small thicket, especially one with bushes. (That is actually where the word comes from.) So bosky means: “filled with shrubs or small trees” — and also, in an obviously related sense, “shady.”

Clochard (KLO-shurd, noun) – Tramp, vagrant or beggar. One of countless French words that have officially entered our language, it has a Gallic etymology rooted in clocher, meaning “to limp” — perhaps from the shuffling gait of some indigent and homeless folks?

Manky (MANG-kee, adj.) – From Dictionary.com: “worthless, rotten, or in bad taste; dirty, filthy, or bad.” Closely related to the better-known manque (“lacking, unsuccessful, frustrated”), manky has a long etymology reaching back to the Latin man-, meaning “hand” (as in manual, manuscript, manipulate and, believe it or not, manure). The word originally meant “maimed in in the hand.”

Muzzy (MUZZ-ee, adj.) – According to Merriam-Webster, this word bears a variety of similar meanings: dim, dull, gloomy, unclear, muddled, confused, naïve.

Piccalilli (PIK-uh-lih-lee, noun) –Strong Indian relish made with vegetables, mustard, vinegar and hot spices. Another somewhat familiar word — but still, fun to say!

Poikilotherm (poy-KEE-luh-therm, noun) – Wikipedia tells us that this denotes an animal whose internal temperature varies considerably as it adapts to its environment. Much rarer than the heat-stable homeotherm (which comprises most mammals and birds), poikilotherms include some fish, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates, along with a few rare mammals — such as sloths and naked mole rats.

Pullulate (PUHL-yuh-late, verb) – Again from Dictionary.com: “to sprout, bud, germinate; to breed, produce, or create rapidly.” It is actually related to pullet and poultry

Swot (SWOT, verb) – British slang for cram — or studying intensely, as if for an exam; often followed by up: “She was swotting up for the calculus test.”

Tergiversation (TUR-jiv-er-say-shun, noun) – Merriam-Webster: “Evasion of straightforward action or clear-cut statement; equivocation.” Can also mean “deserting a cause.” Its etymology includes the common Latin base ver(s)-, meaning “to turn” — as in reverse, conversion, extrovert and even versus.

Threap (THREEP, verb & noun) – There is some disagreement as to the precise meaning of this word. Most sources have “chide or scold,” while Dictionary.com says it’s a noun meaning “argument, dispute or

quarrel.” But I guess those senses aren’t too far apart — so let’s not start a threep (yes — it can be spelled that way, too).

Tintinnabulation (tin-tin-ab-you-LAYshun, noun) – The sound of ringing bells.

The usually reliable Dictionary.com has this as coined by Edgar Allan Poe in his 1949 poem “The Bells.” That is surely its most famous occurrence; but most sources suggest that the word much older than that. According to Online Etymology Dictionary, it is nonetheless imitative of the sound.

And that, of course, makes it onomatopoeic — which will certainly have to be an entire column sometime in the future.

Are you a distracted driver? According to PennDOT, distracted driving accounts for thousands of crashes in Pennsylvania every year and it is a leading factor of lane departure

Driving is a skill that requires 100% of your attention 100% of the time.

Anything that takes your hands o the wheel, your eyes o the road, or your mind o the task of driving is a distraction, including eating, drinking and even hands-free cell phone use. And remember it is illegal (and dangerous) to write, read, or send a textbased message while driving in Pennsylvania. Research has shown that distraction from

cell phone use while driving — either handheld or hands-free — delays a driver’s reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08%.

Passengers can be especially distracting to inexperienced teen drivers, so remember to be a good passenger too.

Parents and caregivers should set a good example when behind the wheel and avoid distractions.

Remember, any distraction can wait until you safely reach your destination.

Living Someone Else’s Dream: Mrs. Hugh Hefner Tells the Truth

Crystal Hefner broke a promise — and our world is a better place for it.

Six decades younger than Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner, Crystal was his third and final wife; when the world-famous womanizer was nearing his death, he made Crystal promise that she would “only say good things” about Hef and his exploitative empire.

Joseph W. Smith III

But as she prepared to write her memoir, she found that for her own sake — and for so many other objectified women — she had to tell the truth.

Now don’t get the wrong impression: Published in January to strong online reviews, Only Say Good Things is not some tell-all full of lurid and salacious details about life inside the Playboy mansion.

No. The author is more concerned to show the moral vacuity, the abasement of women and most of all, the appalling narcissism of the man who is almost single-handedly responsible for the pornified culture we now live in.

I’m sure that denunciation won’t sit well with some readers; but I stand by it. Like many Boomers, I remain scarred by that miserable magazine — so tantalizing and

all too available in my youth.

And partly for this reason, I was captivated by Crystal’s enlightening story. It is told with thoughtful, articulate prose and loaded with ready-made symbols that reflect the sad, seamy truth behind what she calls “the most high-profile, visible modern harem in existence.”

A few of her more poignant symbols:

Hef’s weird obsession with the Frankenstein story — in which a madman wants to artificially assemble the perfect human body.

A pair of lovebirds caged at all times in Hefner’s bedroom — with one of the two always dying off; Crystal, who eventually figured out that their watering-device was clogged, writes that “the birds had been dying of thirst this whole time, and the mansion staff just kept replacing them, bird after bird.”

Or how about the late discovery, made while seeking answers for Crystal’s worsening health, that the entire house was horribly riddled with black mold.

And then it turns out that Crystal’s health was also suffering as her body rejected the breast implants, she’d had put in; in other words, the young lady’s efforts to become

Hef’s ideal were literally killing her.

Speaking of which: Perhaps the book’s crowning irony arrives near the end, when Hefner’s motto becomes his epitaph: “Life is too short to be living someone else’s dream.”

Could the man not see that this is exactly what he forced on all those women at his beck and call?

Along these lines, I should point out for our “family-friendly” readers that there are two or three brief but candid descriptions of Hefner’s sex life. This is, however, tastefully handled — and, what’s more, it is absolutely crucial in showing that even at these most intimate moments, Hefner was focused

only on himself.

“The man thought to be the greatest lover in the world never knew how to love at all,” Crystal says. “It was clear to me that Hef had never taken a moment of his entire life to try to figure out how to please someone else.”

Singularly emblematic of Hef’s approach to love is his marriage proposal — which consisted of handing Crystal a ring and saying, “I hope it fits.”

As if it weren’t bad enough to assume she’d say yes, Crystal was immediately thrust into a reality show called Marrying Hef — which had obviously been planned for months, and on which Playboy made nearly a $1 million.

Crystal herself got $2500.

But all this initially backfired: Since Hef never really asked, she never actually said yes, Crystal wound up running off five days before the muchhyped wedding. Though she eventually returned for a quiet private ceremony, her last-minute flight cost Playboy $250,000 — and wrecked the alreadyprinted magazine issue “introducing Mrs. Hugh Hefner.”

I’d love to finish my glowing review with many more quotes from this intelligent, gripping and well-written volume. But we are out of room, so here’s a final recommendation — directed both to Hefner’s fans and detractors: Try to get

FENCE

All Types of Fencing!

hold of the audio book, which is read by the author; you can actually hear her voice catching at some of the more painful moments.

I’ll close now with this hard-hitting reflection from Crystal:

“Power is insidious when it masks itself as generosity, and generosity is insidious when it serves as a camouflage for control. And both power and control are confusing when they gaslight you into believing they can be love.”

It’s a fitting epitaph for a man once considered a cultural pioneer.

Only Say Good Things takes a hopeful step toward repairing some of the damage he did.

“Stress Resets: How to Soothe Your Body and Mind in Minutes” by Jennifer L. Taitz, PsyD, ABPP c.2024, Workman Publishing $19.99

240 pages

You know what happens next week?

Of course you do. Just thinking about it now makes your palms sweat and your blood pressure soar. And then you get mad at yourself

for feeling that way and you’re guilty for being angry and there you go. Next week has already moved into your home, so read “Stress Resets” by Jennifer L. Taitz, PsyD, ABPP, and eject that unwanted roommate.

Dread. at’s really the only word you know to describe that thing in your life that makes your brain go haywire. It starts there, with dread, and expands to obsession and worse. You hate that you do this and hating just makes things worse.

So what if you could stop?

Taitz says that we use “countless

ways [to] undermine our ability to live better when we face stress.”

Chewing your fingernails, overspending, yeah, we see you. It’s all part of a cycle that we can’t o en escape but here, you’ll learn some “favorite skills” to help you cope when stress comes at you from all sides.

First of all, know that “stress is di erent from anxiety.” e former is what

you feel when your emotional sense of balance is o ; the latter is more longterm and “can also be a response to stress.”

Next, learn that stress is not your enemy, in fact, you can “make it work for you...”

Learn “distress tolerance” and nd out how to “regulate your emotions” by understanding what’s at the core of your feelings. Learn to spot the “ARC” of your emotions to reframe your feelings as you go. Tame overthinking with a few easy steps.

When things get especially “intense,” says Taitz, plant your feet and be aware of what you’re thinking and feeling.

Make up a song about it, and do a few short exercises, or dance. Examine your assumptions. Hold all calls but be willing to accept help.

Practice coping by giving yourself a set time and permission to worry and stress. Laugh, make your bed, notice good things, and nd joy.

Does it seem like every single day of this modern world holds twice as many stressors as the day before? Yep, you’re not alone in that, but “Stress Resets” shows that there are many ways to endure and even thrive in such turmoil without the use of “substances.”

You’ll also be happy that author Jennifer L. Taitz doesn’t let you descend

into any sort of pity-party. Her advice is sympathetic, yes, but it’s also no-nonsense, with no high-brow psycho-lingo. e steps inside this book are easy to understand, they’re not scary, and some of them are so simple that you can do them in less than three minutes. But don’t think this is all pop-science-culture stu : readers wanting a little more depth will nd that here, too.

is is the kind of book you’ll want to keep handy when everything starts to feel like it’s piling on too fast. Flip around, pick what works for you inside “Stress Resets,” try something else, and have a better week.

By Jon Pries

The term “feather the edge” does not refer to painting the sides, top, and bottom of a door or finishing the edges of a watercolor painting. Instead, in habitat improvement and deer attraction, it describes a very beneficial way to dress up and complete a food plot.

It is said that deer are creatures that prefer edges, and an edge is where a forest meets a field, or a pasture, or a food plot, or an older age forest meets the new growth line of a recent clearcut. Feathering an edge refers to softening the current edge of an existing location by removing trees to create a merging of two plant types in a transition zone. Instead of having an open pasture, agricultural field, or food plot meet abruptly against a wall of large timber, feathering the edge develops a more gradual “brushy” transition area between

the two cover types. This transition zone is attractive to deer as a fawning area and is often a preferred location for food and cover for small game and nesting birds. Edge feathering eliminates the shade produced by the trees that are removed, thus permitting more sunlight to reach the agricultural field or food plot and resulting in a higher crop yield. It can provide escape cover and thermal cover for many species of wildlife along with creating a greater variety of plant species along the edge. This edge zone may also provide better locations for a hunter’s treestand and may further provide cover for a hunter as he approaches and leaves his stand.

Once an area has been identified to create a transition zone, spray an herbicide on invasive, non-native, or unwanted trees, plants, and grasses before you begin cutting trees. The next steps are the killing or felling of trees. One of the most efficient

ways of killing trees is by girdling a ring around the trunk and spraying with Roundup or Garlon 4. Some trees should be selected for dropping completely by using a chainsaw, and some should be dropped by using a hinge cut – where the trunk is not cut completely through. e tree falls to the ground, with the remaining part of the uncut trunk providing life (and deer feed!) to the top that is now on the ground. Keep in mind when dropping trees that they can be felled in a direction to block access from one side to the other or felled in such a way as to create open travel corridors from one side to the other. You can totally block o access along some length of the zone and then create pinch points of access near where you might place a treestand.

e width of this transition zone is really up to you, and based on what you hope to accomplish in the short and long term by creating this soer edge, it generally works best if it is somewhere from 15 to 30 yards in width. Whether it is between a forested area and an agricultural eld or

between a timber stand and a food plot, it can be an ideal place to add bene cial trees and shrubs to enhance the habitat and attract more wildlife. Any hard mast or so mast producing trees should be le in the zone for future food sources. Smaller trees to consider planting would be apple, crabapple, pear, plum, persimmon, mulberry, and hazelnut. White owering dogwood, witch hazel, red osier dogwood, elderberry, and fox grapes will be attractive to all types of wildlife.

Any food plot you create in a forested area will add an extremely attractive and bene cial upgrade to existing food sources. Adding a “feathered edge” surrounding a food plot that you have created in the middle of a large forested area is a huge addition to the food plot and allows you the opportunity to enhance the present habitat as well as make additions in the form of small trees and shrubs that will o er a greater variety of food and cover for deer, turkeys, and all varieties of small game birds and animals.

Outdoors with Ken Hunter… Turkey Hunting Still Productive

Another spring turkey season is fast approaching, with the mentored hunters 16 and under able to hunt on April 27, followed by the regular statewide spring season from May 4 through the 18th. As usual, when spring begins to move in, we turkey hunters are on the lookout for any sightings of turkeys and especially gobblers.

WMU 4E actually came up with 4.51 poults per hen last summer. Our statewide average of poults per hen was still higher than in 2019 and 2020, so it looks like our chances of scoring on a gobbler are still pretty decent.

Again, according to recent Game Commission statistics, almost 20 percent — or one in five hunters — took a spring gobbler in 2023. All of the WMUs showed increased numbers from 2021 through 2023.

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like I’m hearing more people saying they are not seeing birds like they have in the past, or at least they are not seeing them in the same places as before. Turkeys move sometimes and often change locations depending on food supply.

I have been seeing the usual number of birds on my local travels, and in one case, I had to stop and wait for a flock of at least 60 turkeys to cross the road in front of me. Last week, I came to a complete stop in the middle of the road as a big gobbler walked across the road, which was only 10 yards in front of me.

I don’t have room to list all the WMU numbers here, but since I hunt a lot in WMU 4E, I found that in 2021 we took 1,169 gobblers, 1,633 in 2022, and 1,717 in 2023. There were 11 units that had even higher numbers, with WMU 2D coming in with the highest at 3,720 gobblers in 2023.

So, what should we expect as we start a new spring season? Well, according to the Game Commission’s summer turkey sighting survey last year, there were 2.9 poults per hen statewide, and our local

Well, it appears that there are enough turkeys roaming our woodlands to give us each a reasonable chance, but as we turkey hunters also know, you have to do things right. Even a simple thing like a little adjustment in your position at the wrong time can send a gobbler off in the opposite direction. I know-I’ve had it happen. And there’s always the question of what calls to use and how often to

Ken Hunter

call. It seems that most successful turkey hunters weigh in on the side of calling less o en, and a simple hen call o en seems to get results. And what about decoys? Most of what I read and hear is that it’s probably best to limit your decoys to hen decoys, maybe a couple set out in a clearing or the edge of the woods in a eld where a gobbler can easily spot them.

Of course, most of the turkey hunters want to get out rst thing in the morning before the birds come down from the roost. Knowing where the turkeys are roosting beforehand is a big plus, and I wouldn’t be surprised to nd out that most spring gobbler hunters proba-

bly score earlier rather than later in the morning. However, I remember shooting my biggest ever gobbler years ago just 15 minutes before quitting time. at was back when we had to quit hunting by mid-day, but for the last 13 years, we have had an opportunity to hunt all day during the second half of the monthlong season. How successful is a ernoon hunting? Again, Game Commission statistics say that turkeys taken in the a ernoon accounted for 5.2 percent of the overall gobbler harvest.

I know we see more gobblers from the front seat of our car than we probably see when we are out hunting them, but I suspect I’ll put some time in anyway.

Interpret This

April Fool’s Day has come and gone, but there are indeed some foolish things going on in La-La land as the Major League Baseball season gets underway.

As Major League Baseball began in Seoul, the sport that regards gambling as its biggest sin (aka Pete Rose and the Black Sox scandal) was rocked by the revelation that its highest-paid star, Shohei Ohtani ($700 million, 10-year deal with the Dodgers), and his longtime friend and interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, were the subjects of a $4-million sports gambling probe.

Perhaps the biggest unanswered question is — did Mizuhura have the ability to access Ohtani’s bank account without the player’s knowledge?

Curious about the relationship existing between a player and his interpreter, I asked Montoursville’s Tom O’Malley about his experiences playing in Japan. Following an 8-year MLB career, he enjoyed six successful seasons playing with the Hanshin Tigers and Yakult Swallows in the Japan Central League.

At the center of the scandal, reports indicated two wire transfers totaling $1 million came from Ohtani’s personal bank account to cover gambling debts run up by Mizuhura. The investigation into the matter is ongoing, and what may be true or untrue is yet to be determined.

Lots of questions remained unanswered. Ohtani’s representatives claim he had no knowledge of the money transfer and was himself the victim of a massive theft.

Mizuhura has been a friend, confidant, and interpreter to Ohtani since the two met in Japan in 2013. He became Ohtani’s de facto gatekeeper, with even his closest representatives going to Mizuhara to relay information to the ballplayer.

Following are O’Malley’s experiences with interpreters in Japan.

“Before I played my first season in Japan, I went over and got to meet the interpreter. I didn’t know anything about them, but they are your whole image. I was limited in the language, so whatever he told the media, I had no idea what he was saying. I didn’t know if he was saying good things or bad things or if he was interpreting exactly what I was telling him.

SaturdayAugust26th,20239:00A.M.

“The hard part is not only having someone who understands English but also has the knowledge and wisdom of baseball. My first interpreter did not know baseball. He was good at English. I would tell him, ‘I’m a triple away from hitting a cycle,’ and he was about ready to go buy a new bike for me. He had no idea of baseball terminology.

Scott Lowery

en, I was able to get the guy who signed me to play in Japan to be my interpreter. He was very good.

“Knowing the language makes a di erence. at is why I tried to learn as much Japanese on my own as I could. To a baseball player in a foreign land, interpreters are very valuable. If you get a good one, it really helps in the adjustment phase. You don’t know much about the language and the culture. e interpreter tries to eliminate everything to help you play better. ey help with the family, travel, and social functions. ey want you just to focus on baseball.

“As you develop the relationship with the interpreter, they learn to know everything about you, including your business dealings. at is why I tried to learn more things on my own so that I could be more independent. At the beginning of my time in Japan, the interpreter was with me quite o en. But the longer I was there I tried to go more on my own.

“When I played in Japan, the teams allowed a maximum of four foreign players. Our team had two hitters and two pitchers. e teams supplied interpreters, so the hitters shared an interpreter, as did the pitchers. When I was in Japan, they would be paid about $100,000 U.S. dollars. ey sometimes could earn more, depending on how they did or how well their player did. “It is a blessing when you have somebody that can help you out. e guy who signed me and became my second interpreter wanted me to do well. He came down from the front o ce knowing the importance of

everything I was going through and was a tremendous help. I tip my hat to him and still stay in contact with him. He knew the value of what he was able to do. In turn, I became able to help other foreign players who came to Japan because I had gone through all that stu . I became like ‘the manager of the foreign players.’

“During the game, the interpreter would be there if I needed him. We had pre-game hitters’ meetings, and we would dissect the pitchers and look at videos. But one thing that really helped me was in spring training, I had a couple of good games early, and they just let me go. Had I struggled, and I witnessed it from other foreign players who struggled in the beginning, they don’t leave them alone.”

When asked if, with so many nonEnglish-speaking players in the Major Leagues today, interpreters are becoming increasingly prevalent, O’Malley responded.

“To a large degree, I think it depends on the player’s status as a prospect. Teams want to make a player’s transition much easier. Just like I experienced in Japan, teams want to make sure there are no distractions and put them in the best circumstances to succeed. ere are so many adjustments in language and lifestyle for players coming to the United States to play. Teams have made big nancial investments in these players, and they will continue to do what they can to help them be successful.”

So, who’s the fool in the Ohtani dilemma? at nal interpretation is yet to be translated.

Irecently had the opportunity to hook up with some old friends. We gathered at the Trout Run Volunteer Fire Hall for a wonderful evening. Fishing was the focus of our conversations. Yes. It was the annual meeting for the Lycoming Creek Anglers.

I am so proud to be associated with this great organization. It is a membership-based nonprofit that does so much for our area. Dues are only $12 per year and $8 for anyone under 19. All monies generated go directly back to the club. Give me a holla.

President Joe Knerr provided a few updates. Our numbers are strong, but we could always use a few more members. The LCAC needs to finish repairing our garage. Fortunately, these costs

qualify for a match through the PA Fish and Boat. Sam Caldwell is our new treasurer. My man is the longtime face of our group. Thankfully, he is still very much involved. Sam talked to us about our largest expenditure — fish food. We thought about a new automated feeder. The BIOOREGAN works wonders, but it is so dang expensive. Mr. Caldwell is also selling PA lottery calendars.

Dale Sholder serves as our nursery manager. He gave us some numbers. We currently have 10,500 yearlings and several 20-inch monsters. Many of these fish will be released this spring. The LCAC stocks Lycoming Creek and a few of her tributaries every Saturday in May. We entertained the idea of doing more in the fall. It’s tough

Jamie Spencer

to keep the trout in our tanks for more than 12 months. My friends announced that we will host our Annual Children’s Fishing Derby on Saturday, June 8th, at the Squarewood Acres Campgrounds. Guys and Dolls 3 to 13 are invited. Everyone wins in this great event. I will be telling you more when we get closer.

Hunter Shoemaker looks good in green. He is a Waterways Conservation Officer with PA Fish and Boat. Shoemaker talked about what was being done regarding stocking with the state and provided several updates. Hunter is a great kid overseeing many things in Clinton and Lycoming Counties. After the meeting, he even entertained a

few of my tricky questions—no comment on Rose Valley kids.

Mike Kinney was also in the house and gave a fantastic presentation on Life in the Creek. Mike is a talented videographer, and he records some amazing stuff. Mike told us more about the critters on Lycoming. He had some dope reels on muskrats, otters, minks, and beavers. It was legit. Mike always ends with five minutes of the Eastern Hellbender. His underwater camera was very instrumental in naming this guy our state amphibian. It was good to see my mate. I even came home with an autographed still frame. Check him out.

Thanks again to the Lycoming Creek Anglers. Folks like these make fishing better. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to join. My brothers and sisters could always use some help. Cheers.
