Derby Weekend

I know, I know, it’s me again. I’m sure you would all prefer to see Jimmy’s smiling face here, talking about what’s happening worldwide and at home. Unfortunately, he is feeling under the weather so you are stuck with me again.

I’m not going to get into all that is going on in the world, but I am going to talk about something that is happening this weekend that will be celebrated across the country — the Kentucky Derby!

Kentucky Derby Day is almost upon us. e “Running of the Roses,” or “ e Run for the Roses,” as the Kentucky Derby is called, is America’s premier horse racing event. Steeped in tradition, the Derby is the rst step in the Triple Crown of horse racing. It is held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Approximately 155,000 people attend this all-day event each year, culminating in a roughly two-minute race.

e Kentucky Derby runs on a 1 1/4mile, 10-furlong dirt track. e race winner receives a garland of roses and a $2 million purse. e winner has also reached the rst step in winning the Triple Crown. e winning horse competes against other horses to hopefully win the Preakness Stakes and,

nally, the Belmont Stakes.

Twenty horses compete in the Kentucky Derby. Typically, far fewer horses race in any other horse racing event. To qualify for the Derby, the 3-year-old thoroughbred horses must travel the “Road to the Kentucky Derby,” a series of 35 horse races at tracks in the U.S. and worldwide. Points are awarded, and the top 20 horses proceed to the Kentucky Derby.

e race lasts about 2 minutes. Allday activities and celebrations precede it. e excitement increases in intensity leading up to the opening of the gates, and the “Run for the Roses” begins. Tradition abounds at the Kentucky Derby. People come dressed to the nines, and ladies wear extravagant hats and participate in a Hat Parade. Mint Juleps are the traditional drink consumed in huge quantities, approximately 120,000 during this two-day event.

Triple Crown Winners

e Kentucky Derby is the premiere event in the quest for the Triple Crown.

If you don’t win this race, you can’t win the Triple Crown. All of the other horses are “Also rans.” ere are no second chances. With that said, all of the other horses and their owners strive to upset the Kentucky Derby winner.

Winning the Triple Crown is very di cult. Only 13 horses have won the Triple Crown.

In 1978, A rmed became just the 11th horse to win all three races. It was 37 long years before American Pharaoh accomplished the feat. e latest

Triple Crown winner is Justify, in 2018.

Kentucky Derby Trivia

– e Kentucky Derby is the longest continually running sporting event in the United States.

– e race is sometimes called “the most exciting two minutes in sports.”

– To win the Triple Crown, a horse needs to win the Kentucky Derby, Belmont, and the Preakness.

– In 1896, roses were rst given to the winner. Jockey Ben Brush received white and pink roses.

– In 1904, red roses became the o cial color.

– As the horses step onto the track for the post-derby parade, the band plays “My Old Kentucky Home. is tradition began around 1921.

– Mint Juleps are the o cial drink of the race.

– Approximately 120,000 Mint Juleps are served during the two-day event. 60,000 pounds of ice are used.

Now, let’s talk about those Mint Juleps in a little more depth.

If you know me, you know that I do love good bourbon, and this classic cocktail is *chef’s kiss*. ey are also super easy to make and only need three ingredients. So, let’s get to how to make one.

First up, you need to make some simple syrup. Yes, you can buy it, but it’s better to make it at home; it costs much less and can be done in less than 10 minutes. Combine one cup of sugar and one cup of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat; boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.

Once that’s cooled, we can build our cocktail.

Start by placing 4 or 5 mint leaves and 1/2-1oz. of simple syrup in the bottom of your glass and muddle them together (which is just a fancy term for smashing them around).

en, ll your glass with ice (crushed is preferred).

en add 2 oz. of your favorite bourbon. Bulleit is a great option for every day, but there are plenty of fancier and more expensive options available.

en just give it a little stir and add an extra mint leaf for garnish.

at’s it. Easy Peasy!

I hope y’all enjoy your Derby weekend, and if you are celebrating and partaking in a Julep or two, please drink responsibly.

Game Commission Announces Spraying Plans

In an e ort to protect wildlife habitat, the Pennsylvania Game Commission plans to spray over 123,000 acres of state game lands this spring to control a non-native invasive insect, the spongy moth.

Spraying is planned on 46 di erent state game lands – 123,276 acres in all – and will begin as soon as leaf-out occurs and spongy moth egg masses hatch, likely in late April and May.

“ ose participating in spring gobbler seasons or otherwise enjoying state game lands may encounter aircra spraying forested areas for spongy moths,” said Paul Weiss, Game Commission Chief Forester. “We recognize some hunters might be temporarily a ected by these activities, but disturbances are brief and only temporary, and by protecting these valuable habitats against a destructive, invasive pest, the forests will provide hunters the opportunity to chase gobblers there for generations to come.”

No spraying will be scheduled the mornings of youth turkey season – Saturday, April 27 –or the opening day of spring gobbler season – Saturday, May 4.

Spongy moths previously were known by the common name gypsy moth, but the Entomological Society of America changed the name. More information on spongy moths and the Game Commission’s spraying program, including a map updating

the status of spraying is available on an interactive web page at www.pgc.pa.gov. Most of the blocks of forest to be sprayed can be treated within one day, o en within only a few hours.

e insecticide to be used is Mimic 2LV. Its active ingredient is tebufenozide.

is agent generally is considered safe to humans. Most negative side e ects happen with repeated, long-term exposure to high concentrations of the product. As with any chemical, it may cause eye or skin irritation if exposed, and it is recommended to wash any a ected area if irritation occurs.

e forests to be treated in the coming weeks have building populations of spongy moths that, if le untreated, could cause severe defoliation this summer.

“Many of these areas were hit with a late frost last spring, Weiss said. “ is additional stress on the trees makes it especially important to protect them this year.”

is year’s spraying will occur in the following regions: Southcentral, Northcentral, Southeast, Southwest, and Northeast. e Northwest Region has no spraying scheduled this year.

Weiss noted that previous spongy-moth impacts unfortunately led forests on state game lands to transition from mastproducing mixed-oak stands to stands dominated by birch and maple, which are not nearly as bene cial to wildlife.

“Oaks are the main target of spongy

moths, and they also provide the best and most reliable wildlife foods,” Weiss said.

“Unfortunately, in some areas, we have seen birch and maple replace the oak stands lost to past spongy-moth defoliation. is loss of acorn availability across such a potentially large area can have extremely detrimental impacts on wildlife populations ranging from chipmunks and squirrels all the way up to deer and bears. Even if the oak trees manage to survive damage caused by this defoliation, the reduction of acorn production can linger for years a er.”

e Game Commission is aggressively treating this problem to protect the wildlife resources, in the immediate future and long term.

David Gustafson, director of the Game Commission’s Bureau of Wildlife Habitat Management, noted that, based on the value of state game lands’ oaks for wildlife, the agency simply can’t a ord to forgo spraying this year.

“We know that oak forest habitats are tremendously valuable to all wildlife,” Gustafson said. “Everything from squirrels to bears to turkeys will have populations uctuate based on acorn crops. If acorn production is low, bears will den earlier, weigh less, produce fewer and smaller cubs and get into more nuisance situations. Overwinter survival and reproduction for deer su ers when acorns are sparse. Neo-tropical birds, such as cerulean warblers, occupy habitats dominated by oaks. Wild turkey and ru ed grouse populations also depend on acorns. So the actions we take now help to keep all of that in balance.”

Nonprofit organizations are always having to find new and inventive ways to raise money for their good work. This is certainly the case for the Lycoming County United Way, which will be having what it hopes to be the First Annual Rides for Strides on Saturday, May 11.

The Lycoming County United Way is pleased to announce its first annual motorcycle benefit event, Ride for Strides, scheduled for May 11, 2024. The event will start at 11 a.m. at Horsepower Harley Davidson. Kickstands will go up promptly at 1 p.m., and the ride will conclude at Bald Birds Brewing in Jersey Shore.

“We are incredibly excited to introduce Ride for Strides as our newest fundraising initiative,”

Taylor Yeagle, Development and Communications Manager at the Lycoming County United Way, told Webb Weekly. “This event not only promises a wonderful ride for motorcycle enthusiasts but also serves as an opportunity for our community to come together to support our mission to improve lives and create lasting change.”

“Given many of the new programs we are expanding or launching, like our new Kidz Klozet program, Project Lifesaver, and the Phoebe Smith Jackson Memorial Veteran’s Fund, we are looking for new ways to diversify our income so we can support these new programs as well as our existing community partners,” said Ron Frick, President/CEO of the local United Way. “Special events are one way to do that, and the motorcycle riding community is extremely generous. Taylor

rides herself, so this was a great way to engage a new group of supporters and have some fun at the same time. We know spring weekends are busy for many families, but we hope the community will come and spend a Saturday afternoon with us.”

“He continued, “We are incredibly grateful for UPMC, Weis Markets, the Ken and Kristie Healy Foundation, C&N Bank, and Jamie Flick, who combined have provided $6,000 in sponsorships. We are also grateful to Bald Birds Brewing for hosting us for food and games at the end of the ride. In the event of rain, the rain date is May 25.”

The event promises to be a thrilling day of camaraderie, community support, and scenic adventure, all in the spirit of giving back. Motorcycle enthusiasts and Lycoming County United Way supporters should join us for this exciting event.

Participants will gather at Horsepower Harley Davidson to kick off

the ride. From there, riders will embark on a picturesque journey through the beautiful landscapes of Lycoming County, culminating at Bald Birds Brewing in Jersey Shore.

Ride for Strides aims to raise vital funds to support the Lycoming County United Way’s programs and initiatives, which address critical needs and enhance the well-being of individuals and families throughout the community.

Registration for Ride for Strides is now open. Participants can sign up by visiting www.lcuw. org/2024events. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot and ensure a memorable experience. Join them on May 11 for an unforgettable day of riding, solidarity, and philanthropy as we Ride for Strides.

County Hall Corner: Seven States and 20,000 Votes

By Larry Stout

Seven has been called a magic number. ere are seven days a week, seven colors in the rainbow, seven musical notes in a scale, seven wonders of the ancient world, seven continents, seven major seas, and even psychologists tell us we can only take in seven ‘bits’ of information at one time. So, it is not exactly a surprise that the 2024 US presidential election will revolve around seven swing states: Nevada (6 electoral college votes), Wisconsin (10), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), Georgia (16), North Carolina (16), and last but not least but actually the most — Pennsylvania (19 electoral college votes). Yes, the Keystone State will be living up to its name, as Pennsylvania really is the key to this year’s presidential election.

Pennsylvania will also be a knock-downdrag-out electoral battle eld because this is currently the only state that Donald Trump is not leading among these seven swing states. According to the electoral prognosticators, Trump could win the election without Pennsylvania, but Biden de nitely could not. us, if Trump does win our state, he almost surely would win it all.

And to add to the electoral drama, it appears that the United States has never

been as evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats as it is right now. e latest polls have the two parties less than one percentage point apart. Yes, there may be a number of fake votes, but ocially, 158.4 million people voted in the 2020 United States presidential election. is was the highest voter turnout in over a century, with about 66.7% of eligible voters participating.

However, the US Constitution does not recognize the popular vote but rather the electoral college vote. Our Founding Fathers put this into the Constitution so that small states would be represented, as would large states, and rural areas would be considered, as would major cities. ere is a strong movement right now to eliminate the electoral college system.

COUNTY HALL

Truth be told, without the Electoral College, presidential campaigns would only need to focus their attention toward the ten largest states.

Five times in American history, the presidential candidate won the electoral college vote while receiving fewer popular votes than their opponent. The most recent was in the 2000 election of George W. Bush and the 2016 election of Donald Trump, which brings us to the 20,000 votes that are going to decide this year’s presidential winner.

Each of those seven battlefield swing states can flip one way or another with relatively few votes. In Wisconsin, for example, Donald Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 by fewer than 23,000 votes, which turned out to be the key to Trump’s victory. But then, in 2020, Joe Biden defeated Trump by just over 20,000 votes in Wisconsin, resulting in Biden’s overall victory.

In the 2020 election, Nevada went to Biden by 2.4%, as did Wisconsin by 0.6%, Arizona by 0.3%, and (with some suspicion…) Georgia by 0.2%. Trump took Michigan by 0.6% and North Carolina by 1.3%. The key to Biden’s victory was Pennsylvania’s 6,152,521 total votes with Biden winning 50.3% to Trump’s 49.0% — a difference of just 1.3%. If 20,000 votes of those six million plus votes had gone to Trump rather than Biden, he would have

won the election.

Pennsylvania is not called the Keystone State for nothing. Going all the way back to George Washington, in every presidential election since then, Pennsylvania has gone for the eventual winner in every election except for Tom Dewey over Harry Truman in 1948 and Al Gore over George W. Bush in 2000.

This brings us to the recent primary election this past week; barely 30 percent of voters from Lycoming County made it to the polls. That number was quite low, which is not necessarily unusual given that there were not any particularly competitive races in the key positions or referendums to vote on. So, OK, we will give our local voter constituency a pass this time. But get your voting shoes on in November. You may be just one of six or even seven million other Pennsylvania voters, but your vote may be one of the 20,000 that swings the gate one way or the other.

Lycoming County has 70,599 registered voters, of which 42,276 are Republicans, 18,622 are Democrats, and another 9,701 are not sure what they are; they just don’t want to be affiliated with one of the two major parties. Within those 47,100 voters who did not vote in the recent primary could be the 20,000 votes that might tip the scales one way or the other. Your vote will never be more important than it will be this November.

Almighty God has placed within us that we are His creation and that we live and breathe at His sovereign will. While human pride often carries us into long seasons of self-reliance, and even self-worship, catastrophe reminds us that we are not in control of the world, our country, our neighborhoods, our homes, or even our very next heartbeat. We are, of all things, vulnerable and exposed – and deep down inside, we know it.

In times of national tragedy and duress, leaders have faithfully called upon the residents of the United States to humble themselves before Almighty God through fasting and prayer. We are living in such a time – and we would be wise to humble ourselves before Almighty God in prayer. I want to personally encourage you to participate in Williamsport’s Nation-

al Day of Prayer event. Even if you can’t participate in the event, I encourage you to take time to humble yourself before Almighty God and pray. My friends, Almighty God is our only and truest hope. Amen. General George Washington Proclamation of a National Day of Prayer, May 15, 1776

The Continental Congress having ordered Friday the 17th instant to be observed as a Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, humbly to supplicate the mercy of Almighty God, that it would please Him to pardon all our manifold sins and transgressions, and to prosper the arms of the United Colonies, and finally establish the peace and freedom of America upon a solid and lasting foundation; the General commands all officers and soldiers to pay strict obedience to the orders of the Continental Congress; that, by their unfeigned and pious observance of their religious duties, they may incline the Lord and Giver of victory to prosper our arms.” Public Law 82-324, April 17, 1952, Signed by

The President shall set aside and proclaim a suitable day each year, other than a Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer, on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.

Public Law 100-307, May 5, 1988, Signed by President Ronald Reagan

The President shall set aside and proclaim the First Thursday in May in each year, as a National Day of Prayer, on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.

Excerpt from President Biden’s Proclamation, 2023

Constitution and stamped firmly in the American tradition. The belief that prayer can move mountains is, at its core, a belief in making the impossible possible. There is nothing more American than believing in the endless possibilities of what we can do when we do it together.

In periods of peace and prosperity and in times of struggle and strife, countless Americans turn to prayer to seek guidance, bolster our faith, and brace our spirits when we need it most. Prayer is both a personal and communal act — composed of our most intimate thoughts and a practice observed by multitudes across our diverse Nation in every language, culture, religion, and belief system. On this National Day of Prayer, we recognize the profound power of prayer, grounded in deep humility and hope.

The right to pray is enshrined in our

Throughout our history, prayer has empowered moral movements and fueled efforts to strengthen our democracy. It was deeply rooted in the fight to abolish slavery and the expansion of voting rights and voter access. And it continues to compel us to uphold our founding creed that all of us are created equal, are made in the image of God, and deserve to be treated with dignity and equality throughout our lives. We will never fully know how prayer has quietly influenced every aspect of American life — bringing comfort to service members on the battlefield, grounding the spirits of astronauts in space, guiding the healing hands of medical professionals tending to our loved ones, and fortifying the faiths of millions of worshippers in every corner of our Nation. There is hardly an aspect of American life that is not touched by the silent supplications of prayer to fulfill our hopes and our aspirations.

Flowers will always be the standard go-to for Mother’s Day and can usually be an easy and quick gift. However, if you’re looking to put a bit of thought into a floral present, consider a flower subscription for a few months. BloomsbyBox offers monthly, customizable floral arrangement delivery. Or check out Olive & Cocoa’s floral offerings and their Blooms of the Month club. If you’re picking up an arrangement from a local florist, consider throwing in a

Adjacent to flowers is gardening. If your Mother’s Day recipient has a green thumb, then gift them with items that speak to their hobby. Uncommon Goods has grow kits for sunflowers, marigolds, zinnias, nasturtium, and more for that gardening mom to grow her own bouquet. Or upgrade some of her tools with femininely printed set of trowels, shears, and shovels like Floral Guards’ Gardening Tool Set from Amazon. Or go for a heavy-duty upgrade like Celtic Farm’s Garden Too Bag in waxed canvas with pockets and space for all sorts of tools.

Hobby gifts are fairly safe bets, but if you want to indulge the mothers in your life, consider spa-inspired gifts like bath

bombs or shower steamers. Anthropologie has Musee Shower Steamer sets in champagne rose, sweet orange sunflower, and lavender lime. Follow that up with some of Soko Glams’ Squalane Silk face masks, which, yes, are made of silk (fancy) and pack in the hydration. If the idea of pampering for your mom is less about beauty treatment and more about relaxation and rest, then help her get some sleep with a bundled gift of sleep masks and a white noise machine. Amazon has a 2-pack sleep mask from Kimkoo that blocks our light without putting pressure on the eyes. While you’re online, also add the Sound Machine from BrownNoise with 30 soothing sounds and five levels of timer so it can turn to silent before the morning alarm goes off.

Of course, there’s always jewelry. For the chic mom, there’s Kate Spade Outlet’s Pearls of Wisdom Stud earrings that add a little simple polish to any look. For the more sentimental moms, Benevolence LA’s “Mama” Pave Necklace gives basic jeans and a tee a bit of sparkle for the morning school run. For the Nanas out there check out Mint & Lily’s Blue Porcelain Floral Beaded Bracelet that you can customize with the titles Grandma, Nana, Gigi, Mama,

or Mama Bear for the truly fierce maternal figure.

For the coffee moms who prefer to make their own brew, consider gifting a French press that’s both stylish for the counter and functional for the coffee. Public Goods’ French Press, made of borosilicate or lab glass, has an industrial chic design and holds 1000ml of java. If your mom is less of a coffee aficionado and more simply caffeine-compelled, consider a coffee subscription like those from Drink Trade or Bean Box. For the truly coffee-obsessed, double down on your gift with a scented candle like Anthropologie’s Boulangerie Espresso Jar Candle, which will make your kitchen smell like an espresso café in a good way.

Other solid options are perfume, hand lotion, slippers, and a robe; just be thoughtful of her preferences. Sure, a kimono style dressing gown sounds really special, but maybe she’d prefer, and get more use out of, a terry cloth robe. If she gravitates towards more of a musk-based scent, then a rosy cologne probably doesn’t suit her. When it comes to gift-giving, no matter who it’s for, or how big or small, a last-minute Mother’s Day gift can still be just as thoughtful.

Goods Taken from Cabin Month Ago Returned and Fuel Added as Donation

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

The robbers who some time ago broke into the “Crooked Riffles” cottage, owned by George H. Bubb of this city, and located about one and one-half miles from Shore Acres along Loyalsock Creek, apparently underwent a strange change of heart, for all of the goods that were stolen have been mysteriously returned.

Not only that, Mr. Bubb made the discovery that the goods had been returned to the cottage, but he also found out that half a cord of wood, cut to fireplace length had been placed on the property. There was no wood there when he closed the cottage last fall, nor when he had discovered that the cottage had been broken into in early April, Mr. Bubb stated.

To add to the mystery, there is no indication that the wood had been cut on the property or even nearby. Apparently, the wood was cut some distance away and hauled to the Bubb cottage and piled up neatly.

At the time Mr. Bubb discovered the burglary he found that the robbers had smashed out the glass in the back door and reached in to unfasten the lock. The cottage was ransacked from top to bottom. A quantity of silver and clothes and other articles were missing. It is believed that prosecution of three young men for recent burglaries at the cabins of Dr. A.C. Lamade and Dr. A.F. Hardt, located along Wallis Run Road, not far from the Bubb cottage but on the other side of the creek, might have convinced the robbers of the Bubb property that discretion is, after all, the better part of valor.

Maternal Mental Health Day/Week Raise Awareness

*This article is for educational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. Consult with your primary care physician if you have medical questions or concerns.

When it comes to holidays in the month of May, most people think of Mother’s Day (celebrated the second Sunday in May). May is also significant for moms as it holds both Maternal Mental Health Week (April 29-May 5) and World

Maternal Mental Health Day (May 1).

In 2014, the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health launched the U.S. Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week campaign after several organizations voiced interest in raising awareness. The purpose of establishing Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week was to raise public and professional awareness of perinatal mental health problems, advocate for women and families impacted by these issues, and change attitudes surrounding maternal mental health.

Later, in 2015, a small group of people met to start making plans for the first-ever World Maternal Mental Health Day.

The group decided that the event should be held each year on the first Wednesday of May, close in date to both Mother’s Day and Mental Health Week in many countries. The first World Maternal Mental Health Day was established on May 5, 2016, with the goal of raising awareness of maternal mental health issues so that more wom-

en will get treatment.

According to Post Partum Support International, although many women experience some changes in mood during and after pregnancy, 15 to 20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. While most people have heard of the term postpartum depression, many health professionals use the broader term, perinatal depression or perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD). According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), perinatal depression is a mood disorder that can affect women during pregnancy and after childbirth. Perinatal depression includes depression that begins during pregnancy, called prenatal depression and depression that begins after the baby is born, called

postpartum depression.

Mothers with perinatal depression often experience feelings of extreme sadness, anxiety, and fatigue that may make it difficult for them to carry out daily tasks, including caring for themselves or others. Perinatal depression is a medical illness that can affect any mother regardless of age, race, income, culture, or education. Women who suffer from this condition are not to blame for having perinatal depression, and it is not brought on by anything a mother has done or has not done. Perinatal depression does not have a single cause. Research suggests that perinatal depression is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Life stress, such as the demands of family or work or past experiences of trauma, the physical and emotional demands of childbearing and caring for a new baby, and changes in hormones that occur during and after pregnancy can contribute to the development of perinatal depression. In addition, women are at greater risk for developing perinatal depression if they have a personal or family history of depression or bipolar disorder or if they have experienced perinatal depression with a previous pregnancy.

Some women experience a few symptoms of perinatal depression, while others experience many of the symptoms. Some of the more common symptoms include:

– Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks

– Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism

– Feelings of irritability, frustration, or restlessness

– Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness

– Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities

– Fatigue or abnormal decrease in energy

– Being restless or having trouble sitting still

– Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions

– Difficulty sleeping (even when the baby is asleep), waking early in the morning, or oversleeping

– Abnormal changes in appetite or unplanned weight changes

– Physical aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not have a clear physical cause and do not go away with treatment

– Trouble bonding or forming an emotional attachment with the baby

– Persistent doubts about the ability to care for the baby

– Thoughts of death or harming oneself or the baby or suicide attempts

Women who experience any of these symptoms should see a healthcare professional. A health provider can then determine whether the symptoms are due to perinatal depression or another cause.

Treating perinatal depression is essential for the health of the mother and her baby. With proper treatment, however, most women feel better, and their symptoms improve. Treatment for perinatal depression usually includes therapy, medication, or a combination of therapy and medication. For more information or if you have questions, consult with your family physician or other medical provider.

Cinco De Mayo

By a show of hands, who loves Mexican food? Who loves a good taco Tuesday or Queso Wednesday? OK, so I made up Queso Wednesday, but let’s start making it a thing.

– Queso – Fried Ice Cream

Andrea McElroy

Can we just discuss the last thing on my list quickly? Fried ice cream. Oh, my goodness. I can’t even. How did anyone ever come up with the idea of something like ice cream that melts as quickly as you can eat it on a hot summer day, to thinking, “Hey, let’s dunk ice cream into a hot fryer and see what it does!” It’s wild to me. But ya know what? It was absolutely brilliant! Oh, that delicious crispy outside, with a cold frozen center, is such a magnificent dessert. Drizzled in caramel and chocolate. Oh my!

Man, do I love me some queso! It doesn’t even have to be a Wednesday. It could be any day of the week for me to dip a warm tortilla chip right out of the fryer and dunk it right into that creamy, delicious cheese. Queso can be made in so many di erent ways, and I can say I have literally never had a bad queso. I have a signi cant love for cheese. (Except blue cheese. Yuck! It smells like feet!! *enter cheesy smile here*)

With Cinco de Mayo on May 5th, I thought it would be perfect to do a Mexican-themed column this week. I really love Mexican food and the fun colors of their celebrations. Here are my top ve favorite Mexican foods, in no particular order.

– Tacos

– Chicken Quesadillas

– Steak and Chicken Fajitas

Ozzie and Mae’s in downtown Williamsport have amazing fried ice cream along with their Fajitas. e best part is you hear your dinner coming before it’s even at the table. It comes out sizzling on a hot plate, so the entire restaurant can physically hear exactly what you ordered. It tastes just as good as it sounds. I always get their steak and chicken fajitas. ey are my favorite!

We love making tacos at home with

my stepdad, Mark Metzger’s, top-ofthe-line beef straight from his family farm. Their meat is absolutely delicious. It makes the best-tasting tacos. Tacos are just one of those meals that’s just so easy to throw together on a busy night. Shred some extra sharp Cabot cheese and lettuce while your meat is cooking, along with whatever other topping your family enjoys. Throw some nachos on the table with a plate of fruit, and dinner is served.

My momma, Susie Metzger, always had grapes on the table back when I was growing up for taco night. Still does! So not only was it taco night, but it was a night for us to all shove grapes in our upper lips and see who could keep them in there the longest without laughing. Then, they typically would all fly out and roll onto the table with all the giggles. We were a very classy family and still are! Haha! We have no shame. Maybe someday, I’ll have to get a picture of us all doing this and surprise you all with a photo. What a treat that would be!!

So, whether you celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Taco Tuesday, or just love Mexican food anytime of the week, here is a very simple, three-ingredient queso recipe that literally anyone can do. It’s nothing fancy, but it gets straight to the point of delicious, melted cheese.

Adios, Amigos!

Queso Rotel Dip

Ingredients:

• 16-ounce Velveeta

• 10-ounce Rotel

• 1 pound ground sausage

Directions:

Brown sausage in a skillet or large pan on the stove. Add Rotel tomatoes and cheese with sausage in a skillet/ pan. Continue to cook on low until everything is melted together. Serve with nachos, crackers or cut up veggies. Note: If it gets too thick over time, just thin it with a splash or two of milk and stir well.

Loyalsock Odyssey of the Mind Team Qualifies for World Finals

ALoyalsock Township Middle School team is advancing to this year’s World Finals of Odyssey of the Mind!

e Loyalsock team was one of 13 teams from North Central PA participating in the statewide tournament at Pocono Mountain East schools on April 6 where 151 teams presented their solutions. ose who placed rst or second in one of 15 divisions moved on to the World Championship at Iowa State University May 21 to 24. Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem-solving program for students worldwide in K-12 and college.

other modalities, all on their own. At the competition, a er months of work, teams present their solution to a panel of judges, who rate for creativity and how well the project met the very detailed goals outlined in the problem. Teams compete in Elementary, Middle School, and High School divisions at Regional and State Tournaments, with the top two teams in each division qualifying for World Finals. Loyalsock Township Middle School won second place in problem 3, “Opening Night Antics”.

Odyssey of the Mind is a problem-solving competition that promotes creative thinking in students from kindergarten to college. e students are grouped into teams and select a problem to solve; their work must be done completely on their own without input from adults or other outside interference. e problems are broad in scope, ranging from building mechanical devices to presenting interpretations of literary classics.

e students write a script, create costumes and props, and may work with electronics, building, artwork, and

e team is comprised of seven students in grades six and seven: Bella Devlin, Aiden Flynn, Jude McHenry, Scarlett Roma, Violet Trapkus, Jeremiah Vincent, and Jasper Skellenger. To solve the “Opening Night Antics” problem the students had to create an original performance depicting the opening night of a play that did not go as planned. e play had to be based on the theme of a selected classic story. During the presentation of the Opening Night of the play, a set malfunction, an unexpected sound e ect, and a team-created antic had to occur. e team created a unique solution that advanced them through the Regional and

State-level competitions, and now on to World Finals!

In addition to their play, the team was also presented with a problem on the day of the Tournament, called a spontaneous problem, that must be solved quickly utilizing the skills they have garnered over previous months of practice. eir coach, PJ Roma, described the group as an “all-star team loaded with talent and creativity. ey jumped right in this year working very hard to develop their ideas and keep everything in line with the criteria of the problem.”

570-398-1976

Michelle Bartley, Coordinator of the Loyalsock OM Program, said “A successful OM team has exceptional creativity, teamwork, willingness to take risks, perseverance, and compromise.”

e World Finals will take place in Ames, Iowa May 21–24 where over 800 teams worldwide will be participating.

Apple’s Argylle: A Little Too Smart — and Too Silly

Have you ever watched a super-twisty movie that wound up being too smart for its own good?

I’m afraid that’s the case with Apple’s thriller Argylle, currently streaming on a variety of platforms.

ere is enough good stu here to keep the lmfrom feeling like a total waste of time; yet the script eventually takes so many le turns that it swi ly switches from a bit too smart, to way too stupid and outlandish.

Joseph W. Smith III

Happily, the good stu starts with a knock-out cast: Bryce Dallas Howard stars as bestselling spy novelist Elly Conway, who has an uncanny grasp of espionage and skullduggery. In fact, Elly is so good at predicting how spies will act and think, that she gets targeted by rival organizations who both want her help retrieving a certain computer le.

First in line to grab Conway is apparent good-guy Aiden Wilde, played by the incomparable Sam Rockwell. While Sam’s wise-cracking, slacker persona seems counterintuitive for a skilled assassin, he pulls it o beautifully, and we wind up caring a lot about these two — even hoping they might develop more than just a working relationship.

e cast also includes Bryan Cranston,

Catherine O’Hara, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cena and So a Boutella — along with pop stars Dua Lipa and Ariana Debose. Henry Cavill brings a strong “meta” feel to the proceedings as Conway’s main character, who repeatedly shows up in the real-world plotline, even as the author’s life keeps looking more and more like one of her books. Several of these actors play impressively against type. ough it might spoil things to mention them all, I will say it’s nice to see Jackson as a decent fellow who never drops even one of his characteristic F-bombs.

In fact, Argylle’s admirable restraint with language, gore and sex sets it apart from other recent action-comedies like Bullet Train and Cocaine Bear, where the bloodshed got to the point of being nolonger-funny.

Other worthy features: superb editing in the action scenes; an excellent score and soundtrack (with generous doses of Debose); and dandy, colorful, globetrotting production design as the movie moves from Colorado and Chicago to Hong Kong, France, London, Greece and the Arabian Peninsula.

e script also unloads generous references to other material both in and out of the genre — including Ian Fleming, John LeCarre, Michael Caine, Alfred

Nonetheless, about halfway through, Jason Fuchs’s script takes three wild turns in about as many minutes — at which point, the whole story ies right o the rails. While one admires the audacity and surprise, these twists are all so preposterous that they make mincemeat of the women and men and motivations. As the lm then continues in this mode, it does eventually glue back together one or two pieces of its broken credibility. But by then, so much silly and impossible stu has happened that it’s clear Fuchs’s only goal is trickery — to which he gladly sacri ces his characters; and so the lm ditches its chief merit: our care and concern for its people.

By the end, it has become something of a comic book: colorful and ght- lled, but operating largely in only two dimensions.

Director Matthew Vaughn has expressed an intention for two sequels — and then to connect the resulting trilogy to his own Kingsman franchise. But neither critics nor viewers cared much for Argylle — to the point where it recouped less than half its $200 million budget.

So I’m not sure Apple will want to pour more money into this somewhat leaky bucket — though they certainly have the funds, and Lord knows lousy lms have launched plenty of other franchises in our time.

Argylle might not be legitimately “lousy”; but it sure could have been a whole lot better.

19th Annual Quilt and Textile Show to be Presented by the Muncy Historical Society July 19 and 20

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

The always active Muncy Historical Society will again be presenting one of the events they have become known for when they present their 19th Annual Quilt and Textile Show at the First United Methodist Church’s Celebration Centre and Living Water Cafe, 602 S. Market Street, Muncy.

is location features easy access, convenience, and ample parking. e show runs from noon to 6 p.m. Friday, July 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 20. General admission is $8, with a discount for six or more guild members attending together ($6 per member). Visitors can view antique, vintage, and modern quilts, wearable art, and woven coverlets.

In its 19th year, the event will showcase spectacular hand and machine workmanship, appliqué, and other quilting techniques, re ecting the makers’ originality and expertise with needle and thread.

e show is always “set” so attendees can “step far away from the quilt to see the geometric design and color patterns as a whole composition, or stand inches away and observe the combinations of fabric, stitching, batting density, and handmade variations.”

A three-person panel will judge the quilt entries, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons will be awarded in the Quilt Challenge, Appliqué, Other Techniques, Use of Color, Hand Quilting, Domestic/Hand-Guided Machine Quilting, Computer-Guided Machine Quilting, Bed, Mini, and Wall Hanging, Youth, Modern, Art, Wearable Art, and Other Textile categories. e judges will award only one winner for Best of Show, selected from all rst-place winners, a Best Original Design winner, and a Judge’s Choice winner. Friday show attendees will nominate their favorite for the Viewer’s Choice award.

e 2024 Quilt Challenge theme is “Friendship/Signature” — a quilter’s choice to register a modern quilt composed of signed blanks. ey might commemorate artifacts & made by individuals for themselves or as a gi for a family member or friend; others might be collaborative — a group of people for presentation to a member of their community; they might commemorate a special occasion; they might celebrate friendships that link the individuals represented on it; they might preserve the memory of relationships that once existed; or they might mediate experiences by marking major life transitions – marriages, moving West.

This year’s theme sets the stage for our themes for the next two years, culminating in the show’s commemoration of America250. Start thinking about your entries — “Fabrics of Our Lives” has been selected for the July 18-19, 2025 show, and “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” as our July 16-17, 2026 theme will close our commemoration efforts.

Always more than a quilt show, activities have been selected to appeal to all ages, and young people are encouraged to attend. This event is designed to be a glorious, colorful, and educational experience. As with every year, there will be several special exhibits and demonstration areas!

With heavy hearts, members of the Muncy Historical Society and the Vintage Gatherer quilters remember Judith Cole Costello, who passed away on October 20, 2023. Judith was a valuable member of the Vintage Gatherers — an author, a workshop leader, a quilt pattern designer, and a lifelong learner. Her contributions to the art community through her exceptional quilt-making are immeasurable — her designs, color schemes, and creativity. Many of today’s quilters have looked to Judith for inspiration and encouragement. She enthusiastically shared her knowledge, pushing them and herself to strive and develop at ever higher levels of quilt making.

This year’s show is dedicated to her memory and contributions to the quilting world. We will be exhibiting quilts from her “friendship” collection and other things special to her. During show hours,

a PowerPoint presentation will showcase selections of her private poetry. A Celebration of Life, open to the public, has been scheduled to start after the show closes on Saturday and will be held in the church’s sanctuary.

The show will feature “demonstration adventures” — hand and machine quilting, paper piecing, binding and applique, and other sewing machine techniques — all designed for young people and adults alike. Many demonstrators will be available during most of the show hours to provide instruction and consultation.

Check their website regularly (www. MuncyHistoricalSociety.org) for show updates, vendor listings, etc.

If you wish to exhibit you must complete a show registration form, available by calling 570-546-5917 or online at www. MuncyHistoricalSociety.org. Registration forms and quilt and/or textile entries must be received by the Muncy Historical Society from July 8 to July 12, 2024, from 9 a.m. to noon or earlier by advance appointment. Quilts must include a 4-4 ½ hanging sleeve. Quilt/textile pick-up is scheduled for Saturday, July 20 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. or by appointment at the museum.

Weird Words

By Joseph W. Smith III

With Webb’s “Weird Words” now in its 11th month — and rapidly approaching one whole year of linguistic gobbledygook — your local word-Smith herewith presents 11 more unusual terms:

Armigerous (ar-MIDGE-er-us, adj.) –Merriam-Webster de nes this simply as “bearing heraldic arms” — which is actually not that simple … unless you know that “heraldic” (i.e., heraldry) refers to an old-fashioned coat of arms.

(or guess!) for yourself. e broadly inclusive Collins English Dictionary lists the alternate spellings bollocks and ballocks, also indicating that it can be used as an interjection of annoyance. (Or, if you’re the Sex Pistols, part of the title for a famous punk record.)

Bottomry (BOT-um-ree, noun) – From Collins: a contract whereby the owner of a ship borrows money to enable his vessel to complete a given voyage, pledging the ship as security. It is related to our word bottom — in the sense of the boat’s hull.

And just in case that still doesn’t help: A “coat of arms” was a distinct design of shapes, symbols, colors and sometimes drawings used to represent and identify family groups — especially in the era of knighthood. It was most o en seen on shields or ags and is no longer common — though it does become a complex and amusing plot-device in Huckleberry Finn, where Tom and Huck try to design one for the runaway slave Jim.

Google “coat of arms” if you want to see examples.

Bollix (BALL-icks, verb) – To bungle something; screw it up badly — o en used with up: “You sure bollixed up that tax form, bro.”

Also spelled bolix or bollox, it has a somewhat crude etymology that you can look up

Dottle (DOT-ul, noun) – Also spelled dottel, it’s “the plug of half-smoked tobacco in the bottom of a pipe a er smoking” (Dictionary.com).

Farkleberry (FAR-kul-bear-ee, noun) –A shrub or small tree of the Southern U.S., bearing a black berry with many seeds (Random House College Dictionary). Mephitis (meh-FIE-tiss, noun) – An offensive smell or stench; or, a poisonous or foul-smelling gas emitted from the earth (American Heritage). e adjective mephitic is pronounced meh-FIT-ik.

Pish tosh (PISH tosh, noun) – While the generally generous Dictionary.com does not have this, several other lexicons do. It means “rubbish,” “bunk” or “nonsense.” Wikipedia has the wonderful British synonym tommyrot. Can be spelled pish posh, or (per Merriam-Webster) even just … pish.

Quodlibet (KWAD-lib-et, noun) – “A subtle or elaborate argument or point of debate, usually on a theological or scholastic subject” (Webster’s New Universal Unabridged).

Aging Boomers might recall this word (with slightly altered spelling) from a transitional tune on the Grateful Dead’s 1968 album Anthem of the Sun. Part of the oplayed suite usually called “ e Other One,” “Quadlibet for Tenderfeet” connects “Cryptical Envelopment” with “ e Faster We Go, the Rounder We Get.”

And you thought “Moby Grape” was a weird, Woodstock-era name!

Rubricate (ROOB-ruh-kate, verb) – Related to ruby, this means “to mark, color, or illuminate (a book, etc.) with red; to

write or print in red letters” (Webster’s New World College Dictionary).

Scumble (SKUM-bull, verb) – “To apply opaque or semi-opaque colours very thinly over other colours, to modify the e ect” (Chambers’s Twentieth Century Dictionary).

Ultracrepidate (ull-truh-KREP-uh-date, verb) – You can tell I’m trying to spread the wealth around among my 67 di erent dictionaries — but I had to revert to Collins for this one, since few others have it: “to go beyond one’s scope or province, esp. to criticize beyond one’s sphere of knowledge.”

I guess trying to avoid this is one reason I keep buying more dictionaries. As if I needed an excuse.

UPMC Expert: Get Ready for Allergy Season

Skye Miller, PA-C Allergy and Immunology, UPMC

The official start of spring is here — and with that comes the dreaded allergy season. A little more than a quarter of adults in the United States have these seasonal allergies according to the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) and can relate to how pesky the symptoms can be.

Once the weather starts warming up,

plants begin to show signs of life again.

Leaves grow, flowers blossom, and pollen gets released into the air — the biggest culprit for seasonal allergies. In response to these pollens, allergy sufferers may experience the following symptoms:

– A congested or stuffy nose

– Watery, itchy, or red eyes

– Runny nose

– Itchy nose or throat

– Sneezing, sniffling

– Popping ears or ear infections caused by inflammation and fluid backup

It might not only be pollen causing these symptoms too. Dust mites and molds can also contribute, especially in Pennsylvania.

Managing Your Allergies

There are a few things you can do to help keep your allergy symptoms at bay in addition to taking over-the-counter medications like antihistamines. While you can’t avoid pollen 100% of the time, a few changes might make your everyday life in the springtime a little more comfortable.

– Close your windows to keep allergens outside

– Use an air purifier or filter your air through your HVAC

– Keep humidity levels as low as possible

– Wear a mask while doing yardwork

– Wash up after coming indoors

– Clear your nose by flushing the nasal passages with distilled salt water

If you’ve tried these methods in addition to medication, it may be time to contact your primary care provider. When to See a Health Care Provider

There are more treatments available for severe allergy sufferers. Your doctor might recommend the following:

Prescription antihistamines: Most antihistamines are now over the counter, but some are still only available by prescription.

Nasal sprays: Medications that reduce the swelling in your nose, which cause a stuffy, runny, and itchy nose.

Inhalers: Medications inhaled into the lungs that open your airways. Inhalers can include daily use or rescue inhalers used for immediate symptom relief.

Allergy injections or immunotherapy: A series of injections to desensitize your immune system to the allergens that trigger your symptoms. The goal of the treatment is to retrain the immune system to recognize the allergen as not dangerous, decreasing the frequency or severity of allergy symptoms.

A fever, head and body aches, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea are not considered symptoms of allergies and can mean that something more is going on. It’s important to rule out other sicknesses before thinking that it’s “just allergies,”

and your health care provider can help do that.

Allergies can be unpleasant, but your provider can help you determine what is triggering your allergies and develop a treatment plan that works for you. If you have allergy-like symptoms that last more than ten days, it’s time to make an appointment with your health care provider.

The Roving Sportsman… Honoring the “King of Game Birds”

By Jon Pries

For dedicated spring gobbler hunters, the Pennsylvania spring gobbler season is just a few more restless nights away!

Preseason scouting indicates that this should be a really good year to bag one of nature’s greatest game birds.

Before you head to the woods, there are a few things you should give some thought to. Most of those who get up every morning well before daylight, trudge deep into the woods ahead of the sunrise, and sometimes spend countless hours pursuing this magni cent bird would refer to a spring gobbler as the “King of the Game Birds.”

It truly is a stunning sight when a mature gobbler is all fanned out and strutting for a nearby hen while the early morning sunlight dances o the iridescent colored feathers that cover his body. Add to that the ashes of red and white that he displays on his head, neck, and waddles, and it is one of the most beautiful images in nature. To take a bird like that is truly to take a genuine trophy.

If you are fortunate enough to take a mature gobbler, what will you do to honor it?

Have you considered having a local taxidermist do some type of mount to commemorate the hunt and honor this bird?

ere are several choices that a good taxidermist can o er. ere is a full mount, usually done in the position of the bird strutting, which highlights all his colors and the uniqueness of the display he puts on for his hens. A breast mount is a nice wall display and includes the head, breast, and beard — with the tail all fanned out behind the breast and head. Another option is to mount just the fanned-out tail along with the beard. It really comes down to your budget and how you want to show the mount or where you might have room enough to properly showcase the mount. If there is even a remote chance that you might want to have a mount done, then special care must be taken in the eld once the bird is down to ensure a great-looking mount. Carrying a turkey out of the woods — particularly a big gobbler — can be awkward, and frequently, if you have a long hike to your destination, numerous feathers can be lost, ru ed, or broken, making the work di cult for even the best taxidermist. e answer to this dilemma is pantyhose. Yes, pantyhose! Merely slip the entire bird head rst into one leg of the pantyhose. As the hose is pulled down over the entire bird, the feathers are laid back in place and remain in a stable, undamaged condition until you get the bird to the taxidermist.

If a mount of some type is not in the

cards, there are several other things you can do that are unique to a gobbler. e three wing bones in each wing can be removed, cleaned, and used to make a two-bone or a three-bone wing bone call. Once completed, you can inscribe the date and location of the kill on the call or decorate it with a painting of some kind. It will add to the magic of some future hunt if you are able to master the use of this call and actually call in and take another turkey using the call that you made from the wing bones of a gobbler that you had taken.

Spurs can be removed along with a section of the leg bone to which they are attached and then are o en displayed on a necklace.

e tail can be kept intact and dried in a fully fanned-out position. It can then either be displayed or used as a real tail in a gobbler decoy that is o en sold with a plastic or paper tail. Adding your fannedout tail instead of the arti cial tail will give the decoy a more realistic look. ese tail feathers can also be plucked individually, making a great “canvas” for painting wildlife scenes.

e wonderful sights and experiences that a spring gobbler hunter encounters are worthy of remembering and honoring. By using some of the body parts described above, you will be able to enjoy recalling the sights and sounds and the thrill of a successful spring gobbler hunt.

Some Thoughts on Spring Gobbler Hunting

Spring turkey hunting is upon us. e youth spring turkey hunt was on April 27th, and the statewide spring turkey hunt runs from May 4-31.

Bear in mind, however, that the legal hunting hours change midway through the season. From May 4-18, hunting begins one-half hour before sunrise and ends at noon; hunters should be out of the woods by 1 p.m. From May 20-31, hunting hours begin one-half hour before sunrise and end one-half hour a er sunset.

fanned out in the same spot in a eld several mornings when I passed by with one hen nearby.

While preseason calling can also locate gobblers, it’s probably wise to limit the use of hen calls and resort to some other type of calling to get a response.

A big step in the right direction, of course, is knowing where a gobbler or, better yet, gobblers are located. Some scouting beforehand can be very bene cial, but I like to be careful with my preseason scouting; I don’t want to stomp all over the locations I plan to hunt before the season opener.

Knowing where turkeys are roosting can also be a big plus, but it’s best to keep a good distance so that your movements and any noise cannot be detected. All turkey hunters know that while turkeys may have a brain about the size of a small chestnut, their hearing and eyesight are extremely acute.

Keep in mind that during the earlier part of the season, leaf development is still somewhat limited, and turkeys will be able to detect any movement much quicker than later in the season when leaves block some of that movement.

To be honest, keeping a good eye out while driving in and around your hunting locations can tell you a lot. Over the past three weeks, I’ve observed at least a half dozen gobblers and several hens.

One gobbler, in particular, has been

Another thought that sometimes comes up with the turkey-hunting crowd is whether or not to use decoys. I’ve had success, but I’ve also had a gobbler turn and hustle away from my

decoys. I had a hen decoy and a gobbler decoy, and I suspect the approaching gobbler may have had his butt kicked by another gobbler, and he took off when he saw my gobbler decoy. On the other hand, I had another occasion where I had a couple of hen decoys out, and three gobblers quickly closed in on them — one of them is now a mount.

What about the use of blinds? Remember, artificial blinds are legal, but the word “artificial” is critical. If you are going to use a blind, it must be artificial and consist of all manmade materials of sufficient density to block the detection of movement within the blind from an outside observer. Arti-

ficial blinds can be made of materials such as plastic, nylon, canvas, cotton cloth, plywood, or other manmade materials. Blinds made by piling up rocks, logs, or branches are not permitted. I have used artificial blinds on limited occasions, but most often, I like to get perched up against a large tree; it helps hide my movements and provides at least some protection from someone shooting behind me.

Well, these are some things to consider when getting into the spring turkey season, but certainly, proper calling techniques are also important. That’s another whole story; in fact, there are entire books covering that subject.

Road Warriors Come Home

Mets manager Yogi Berra coined the phrase “it ain’t over till it’s over” when referencing the 1973 National League pennate race. Now that Lycoming College has finally had the opportunity to christen its new Brandon Park field, Warriors head coach Rick Oliveri couldn’t be faulted for shouting, “I wish the season wasn’t over!”

can grow. We get to make the culture and the program into what we want from the ground up. That’s what brought me here.

After years of planning and a series of delays, the Lycoming College baseball team was able to play its first game at the Brandon Park facility on April 19. With the college season winding down, local fans have a chance to see the Warriors in action this weekend as the team wraps up the season. Lycoming will host Elizabethtown Friday at 4:00 p.m. and Juniata in a Sunday doubleheader beginning at noon.

Oliveri was all smiles, like the proud papa he recently became, as we walked around the new synthetic-turfed field. A veteran of 15 years of Division I coaching experience — the last five at George Washington University — he beamed when asked why he came to Lycoming, a college with no baseball team or a place to play.

“They had plans for a place to play,” he explained. As an assistant coach, that was an attractive piece. Their plans for a field were exciting. A school that doesn’t have a baseball program or a field makes it exciting to think about what we can build and how we

Scott Lowery

“Last year, our first year was a lot of fun. We have great kids who love the game, love each other, and love this college. We lost two out of every three games, and the league voted our staff ‘coach of the year.’ I think the coaches who voted for us saw what we were building. We have a core group of young men who are committed, who love to play and play hard and play the game the right way. Those factors are what made our first year at Lycoming so enjoyable.”

This year, with their new field not yet ready, Oliveri’s team truly became Road Warriors.

“This year has been unlike any other that I’ve ever been a part of, and it’s been hard. But at the same time, it has been fun. We had to find a way to do things right and have purposeful practices. Before April 16, when this field was ready to go, we only had two practices on a baseball field for the entire spring semester.

“We were supposed to have this field ready by March 1. Then, weather, and other things, were out of our control, and we had to make it known to the team that we may not be able to play on the field at all this season. We had t-shirts made up that said “Road Warriors.” The team took that to heart and was unflappable. They accepted that disappointment

and took on the attitude of ‘OK, let’s go play anywhere.’

“Playing all those road games has been hard, and we haven’t had much success this year. But I’m not discouraged about where we are going and the direction of the program, and I don’t think our players are either. Every game was a bus trip, with long hours. We had no place to practice. I admire our young men for how well they’ve met this challenge, and I think it will make them stronger, better baseball players, and better men.”

e eld wasn’t the only challenge facing the Warriors as the college switched from the MAC to the Landmark Conference.

“Playing in the Landmark Conference also presents a bigger adjustment because we play three-inning games on the weekends. Last year in the MAC, we played one nine-inning

game and two seven-inning games, so you need to manage your pitching a di erent way. Both conferences are very good. In the MAC, there were a couple of teams that were in the Top 25 every year.

e strength of the Landmark Conference is it is steady, which makes every weekend a battle. ere are no ‘freebies’ in this conference, and we are learning that very early.”

It’s been a long wait, but the team is relishing

its new home.

“It was fun to see the joy in the players’ eyes, faces, and body language. e most fun part was getting to practice on the eld for the rst time. We had an indoor practice plan in place when I was told we could practice on the eld a er a sign-o walk-through that day. I had the team report to the football eld, a few blocks away. Once I got the green light to use the eld, I called them on speakerphone and told

them the good news. I live within earshot of the football eld, and my wife told me she could hear the screaming and cheering when they received that phone call.

“ ey sprinted here to the eld and were excited. Some of the players laid down on the logo in center eld and soaked it all in. Our rst game (April 20) was great, but the week leading up to it was just extra special for all of us because now the wait was over, and we had a eld we could call home.

“ e eld is all synthetic turf, 325 feet down the line, 370 to the gaps, 390 to center eld. ere are things that still need to be completed in this rst phase. We are fortunate to have a college that believes in baseball and we have proven that we can be a successful part of this college.”

When you spend as much time on the water as I do, you will always catch a few. While some days are certainly better than others, you occasionally have that once-in-a-lifetime experience. But these are extremely rare. I can count them with my ngers. But these precious moments are what keep me going. I always have those thoughts when I put on my waders. ursday evening, I snuck out. Teach and I mowed the lawn, and she was ne with me leaving. I was shing one of my favorite stretches on Lycoming Creek. It is only three minutes from the house. I know the area quite well, and I am amazed at how it constantly produces. is run is not near a major stocking point.

But the trout always gather in large numbers, usually a few weeks a er the opener. I will always encourage my friends to nd the “good spots” on a river or stream. Fish tend to move, and they always nd these pools.

Stocked trout sometimes get a bad rap. I have learned to appreciate them, and they are what I currently target. ese sh spend their early years in a nursery. Once they reach the desired size, they are released. Stocked sh will likely head downstream until they nd some cover. ey are in search of slower-moving water. Remember, swimming upstream or battling the current isn’t something they are used to. But where do they go? Valid questions. Most will stay, but others will travel. Several studies have shown that a Rainbow will leave its initial post a er three days. One tagged Bow swam an incredible 123 miles downstream from their entry just 16 days a er stocking. Browns tend to hang around a tad longer. ey will likely move a er seven. Fascinating. e changes in diets with these stocked trout are truly amazing. ey

are raised on pellets that are full of nutrients. But quickly learn to adapt and begin nding natural food almost immediately. And a er a few weeks in the wild, they will make a complete 180. ese trout have very little chance in the beginning. ey only take the worms, minnows, power bait, and salmon eggs the weekend warriors are throwing. But then something changes. Almost a light switch. ey will know the di erence. Trout will no longer feed and pay little attention to these items. ey start to feed on bugs. Mostly those in the water. It is quite incredible. A stocked trout wises up.

I made a few casts near Reeder’s rapids. I was doing my usual. I was bouncing a Peeping Caddis. I prefer to sh on top, but early in the season, this is my setup. It has been so cold, and we have not had many hatches. e water was still high, and she was owing. I added some weight to get my nymph lower. I shed for 30 minutes. Not much action. I was a little rusty. e key is to nd that right depth. e right dri . And the right presentation. It was getting dark. I considered packing up. Maybe. Tomorrow. While walking back, I noticed one sh that was feeding. He was coming up and sipping. I decided to give it a go. It has been a while since I caught a sh on a dry. I quickly changed to

#14 Adams. My new pair of cheaters from Amazon helped me nd the small eyelet. I removed my weights and added some glue. I made a great cast to where he was. I mended my line and gave it a twitch. He came up and smacked it. I set the hook, and we battled. I landed a beautiful, stocked Brown trout. I took a quick photo and released him. e sh swam back to his homestead. e rst of many on a dry y. Always be prepared. Last night was not one of those epic experiences. I only landed two sh, but I enjoyed getting out for a few casts. I will be back. Yes, perhaps this evening. Fishing is a passion. You always learn something new. It serves as my zen. It is more than a hobby. I appreciate the kind words, folks. Tight lines. Cheers.
