Webb Weekly May 29, 2024

Well, baseball fans, it’s the most wonderful time of the year at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field. The Williamsport Crosscutters will be throwing out the first pitch of their 26th season. Wow, how time flies by when you’re enjoying those peanuts, popcorn, and Cracker Jacks at one of the best baseball venues in our Nation.

My good friend Lou Hunsinger and I still go to the old ballpark that has received a Major League makeover, even when there’s no game going on. We just sit there in the stands of the empty stadium, talking about the history of baseball in Williamsport while we take in the beautiful green grass and perfectly manicured field. It is a very peaceful and quiet setting.

A silent ballpark will not be the case for the season opener on June 4th as Cutters’ VP of Marketing and Pub lic Relations, Gabe Sinicropi, and his right-hand man, Rhashan West-Bey,

get the party started. Rhashan is, of course, the Vice President of Smiles. Vice President GM Doug Estes will be the quiet one behind the scenes, ensuring all the diamond details are taken care of for another season.

A tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to the trio and all at Crosscutter land that provides one of the best entertainment values possible. I’m sure the 2024 season will be packed with family fun, giveaways, and community involvement. The ballgame is just part of the great show guaranteed to make you cheer, laugh, and appreciate all that is going on.

The MLB Draft League affiliate’s first event of the season is Meet the Cutters Night on June 2nd. Admission is free, and there will also be free hot dogs. It’s a fun meet-and-greet gathering to take the kids to. They can even get

every Monday night for Hot Dog Night. Now, there is a tasty ballpark promotion.

There will be a new feature to help wash it down, which will be provided by the good folks at Bullfrog Brewery, Lumberjacked Cream Ale.

The good news is it will be at the stadium for every home game, not just Hot Dog Night. You will have to purchase the adult ice-cold beverage, which has got me thinking about good old Genesee Cream Ale. However, I’m sure it’s even better.

A couple of other highlights to look forward to: Saturdays will be those fantastic fireworks that light up the night sky. The Cutters will again honor our local military heroes with their Military Salute presented by EQT and UPMC. This will take place during every home game. I encourage you to nominate your military hero all season long. The program even gets that veteran or active military person on

There’s an amazing schedule of events to be found every game at Historic Bowman Field. They can all be found on our pages each week. We are a proud sponsor and supporter of Williamsport Crosscutter Baseball. Now for the part baseball fans look forward to with my first column of every season.

With the Webb Weekly arriving on different days in certain parts of our area, I want to give everyone the opportunity to win. So, I will take (2) winners on Wednesday and (2) winners on Thursday for our first 2024 Grand Slam Giveaway.

This includes four tickets to the game of your choosing and Cutters Cash to have dinner and a drink at the ballpark. A Country Store hot dog and a Lumberjacked Cream Ale sounds pretty good about right now.

Simply be one of the first to text or call me at 570-337-0755 and identify yourself as Cutters Grand Slam Giveaway, and you can win. Please remember, two winners on Wednesday and two winners on Thursday. I wish you good luck and great baseball. God Bless America.

From the Editor…

Close Enough – Adopt a Cat!

I’m calling it close enough to June to talk about National Adopt a Cat Month. Probably not coincidentally, June is also the height of kitten season, which means there will be lots of kitties looking for homes this month.

If you are willing and able, adopting a new feline furbaby is always a great idea, but what do you need to know and have before you bring a new cat or kitten home? Have no fear — I’ve got the lists for you!

According to the ASPCA, here are the first things to keep in mind:

– Make sure everyone in the house is prepared to have a cat.

– Cats can be very independent. Make sure everyone knows that the fun begins only after the cat feels safe and their needs are met.

– Once you’re sure everyone is ready for feeding, litter changing, and grooming, you can divvy up chores among family members so everyone is prepared to care for kitty before they arrive.

– As with dogs, it’s important to have your new feline friend spayed or neutered. Other tips, from Purina include: – Plan for Costs: If you’re wondering what you need to know before getting a cat, remember to make a budget for the costs of care. Plan ahead for things like veterinarian visits, buying supplies and paying for lodging while you travel. To get a sense of the financial resources you’ll need, consult

your veterinarian or local shelter.

– Consider Your Lifestyle & Environment: a primary reason cats are given to shelters is their owner’s living scenario. Whether it’s roommates, moving, landlords or just not having enough space, factors related to your living situation may make having a cat more difficult than you originally thought. Make sure you have the permission of everyone in your living space before bringing a cat into your home. Also, if you travel often or are away from your home for many hours every day, don’t forget that someone will need to provide care while you’re out. While cats don’t have the same bathroom requirements as dogs, they still need to be checked on at regular intervals.

Steph Nordstrom

And don’t forget the supplies! Here’s what you’ll need:

– A crate or carrier for traveling

– Food and treats, especially if you want to train your cat (Although I don’t believe this is possible)

– Food and water bowls

– Litter box and litter (Generally speaking, you want to have one more litter box than you have cats, but at least one per cat)

– Collar and ID tag

– Toys

– Scratcher or scratching post

– Cat tree

– Cat bed (though if they are anything like my cats, this will be a fruitless purchase — they will literally sleep anywhere other than a cat bed)

If you think you are ready to adopt, you can head to the Lycoming County SPCA, Lycoming Animal Protection Society (LAPS), or the Clinton County SPCA to find your new furbaby! If you turn to page XX you can learn a little about Whopper and Joey, who are both available for adoption from LAPS!

Address Any Safety Hazards

Here are a few ways you can cat-proof your home to reduce the risk of injury to your new pet:

– Remove poisonous plants

– Keep electrical cords and items like string and ribbon out of reach

– Block access to any nooks or hiding spots that may be dangerous

– Use childproof latches on cabinets containing medicine, cleaning supplies or hazardous items

Also, it’s mentioned above, but for the love of all that is holy, please be sure to spay or neuter your cat! If one unspayed cat has four kittens, that could lead to over 50 more cats in little over a year. So please spay and neuter your cats. You adopted them from shelter, you aren’t breeding them or getting them ready to show. You are just adding to the over population that is already running rampant. Not to mention dealing with a female in heat, or males spraying is zero amounts of fun for anyone.

Interesting and Exciting Season For The Williamsport Crosscutters

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

The Bowman Field faithful will have lots to look forward to this year as the Williamsport Crosscutters begin their fourth season in the MLB Draft League. As usual, there will be the fantastic line-up of interesting and unique promotions.

There will be some new exciting food and drink available to Cutters’ fans this year at the uptown ballpark.

This season, Gunzey’s is teaming up with the Cutters to offer “Gunzey’s at the Game.” For over 60 years, Gunzey’s has perfected its craft, delighting friends and

fans at county fairs across central Pennsylvania. Gunzey’s at the Game will feature Gunzey’s famous hot sausage along with cheesesteaks, gyros, smoked brisket, and mac and cheese bowls at every Williamsport Crosscutters home game in 2024.The stand is in The Lumberyard, just off the stadium’s main concourse.

In addition, the Cutters have teamed up with Bullfrog Brewery to create a new signature beer called Cutters Original Lumberjacked Cream Ale. This American-style cream ale is pleasantly dry and mild with a light body, malty semi-sweetness, and modest hop presence. Lumberjacked is brewed with a 4.8% ABV with pale malt, rice, corn, and a pinch of Willamette hops. The name refers to the home run call, “That ball is Lumber Jacked,” made by team broadcaster Ian Catherine after the Cutters’ home runs. The new brew will be available at all beer locations inside the ballpark. Now, here’s a little about this year’s Cutters coaching staff.

Manager – Ryan Hanigan He makes his professional coaching debut with Williamsport in 2024. He is a former catcher. He was signed by the Cincinnati Reds as an undrafted free agent in 2002, and made his Ma-

jor League debut with the Reds in cinnati (2007-2013), Tampa 2016) and Colorado (2017).

Major League games,

jor League debut with the Reds in 2007. He played 11 seasons in the big leagues with Cincinnati (2007-2013), Tampa Bay (2014), Boston (20152016) and Colorado (2017). Hanigan appeared in 680 Major League games, hitting .251 with 30 home runs and 214 RBIs. In 2009, he led all catchers in MLB with a .998 fielding percentage and the second-best caught-stealing rate at 42.9%. He has the distinction of catching two MLB no-hitters in his career, both by Reds’ pitcher Homer Bailey, in 2012 and 2013. His Australian Shepherd won a Best in Breed award at the 2014 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Bench Coach/Hitting Coach – Kenny

Thomas

Thomas spent 34 seasons as a college head coach, 12 at Volunteer State CC (TN) and 22 at Division II USC Aiken (SC), compiling an overall record of 1,279-639. He led USC Aiken to a national No. 1 ranking during 2013 & 2017 regular season. He is a 2-time National Junior College Athletic Association Eastern District Coach of the Year, and has coached over 60 players who have gone on to be drafted professionally. He served as a local scout for the New York Yankees (1980-81), Cincinnati Reds (1981-82), See CUTTERS on Page 8

CUTTERS

and St. Louis Cardinals (1982-88). As a player, Thomas earned NAIA All-American honors during his senior year as a catcher at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville.

Pitching Coach – Anthony Markle

He returns for his 2nd season as Cutters’ pitching coach. He’s a 2005 graduate of Williamsport Area High School. He was the head baseball coach of Wharton High School in Tampa, Florida. Markle was the hitting and defensive coach for the Empire State Greys of the Frontier League in 2022 and served as an assistant coach at both Calvary Christian and Dunedin High School in Clearwater, Florida, from 2017-2022. He played college baseball at Allegany Community College (MD), helping the team to a Division II JUCO World Series appearance in 2006. Markle served as the bullpen catcher for the Crosscutters during the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

Coach – Sean Miller

Miller makes his professional coaching debut with Williamsport this season. He was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 10th round of the 2015 draft out of USC Aiken, where he played under fellow Cutters’ coach Kenny Thomas. An infielder, he played in the Twins and Orioles organizations from 2015-19, reaching as high as Triple-A. He was a versatile defender who saw action at all infield

positions in his career. Since 2020, he has served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, USC Aiken.

Also new this year, Bowman Field has a new commercial sponsor designation. The sponsor hasn’t changed, but their name has.

In November, Muncy Bank & Trust and First Columbia Bank merged to form the new Journey Bank, which created a new name for the stadium, which is now known as Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field.

The MLB Draft League, which the Crosscutters are a member of, has proven to be a pretty good incubator of young baseball talent. In the first three seasons of the MLB Draft League, over 230 players have signed pro contracts. Over 130 players have been drafted by MLB clubs in the annual MLB Draft (including 21 Cutters), with another 98 signing as undrafted free agents.

MLB recently extended the agreement with the six teams in the MLB Draft League through the 2030 season.

The team will hold its annual “Meet the Cutters” event on Sunday, June 2, from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. at the ballpark. Fans will have the opportunity to meet all the 2024 Cutters players and coaches. Admission is free. Fans will be treated to free hot dogs, refreshments, and a chance to win prizes. See you at the ballpark!

D-Day and Remembering Your Family’s Service

By Wes Sones

June 6, 2024, will mark the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. This Day of Days would pave the way for the liberation of Europe. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the largest amphibious invasion in military history consisted of 160,000 Allied troops, 11,000 Allied Aircraft, 7,000 ships and boats, and thousands of other vehicles. According to the National WWII Museum, it has been estimated that 119,550 of the 16.4 million Americans who served in WWII were still alive in 2023 and that 131 leave us each day. Another Memorial Day has passed, but it need not be the only time we reflect. Learning about your own family who have served can be a rewarding yet challenging endeavor.

My one uncle, Ralph (affectionately known as Deet), served during WWII as a paratrooper. He never liked to really talk about his service, so the only information about his service I had was what he had told my dad and his brother Ray. When they asked how he wrapped Christmas packages so nicely, he revealed that one of his details was to pack personal effects to send home to the families. He had said that he felt it was the least he could do. He also recounted that his unit was dropped off the coast of Dog Island, where they ended up in the water with full packs, where he had managed to help a few of his comrades off with their packs. In

researching this, I emailed the director of a museum for Camp Gordon Johnston in Carrabelle, Florida. There isn’t a lot of information about this accident, though he did provide a scan of a leaflet from a memorial service that was held.

Further information was found in Florida Historical Quarterly’s “Hell-By-The-Sea” by David J. Coles. “With Japan unlikely to surrender, training was undertaken for an amphibious assault on the Japanese mainland. In July 1945, a group of paratroopers from Fort Benning, Georgia, faced high winds with several men landing in East Pass, between Dog & St. George Islands, with ten men drowning.”

Despite this information, I have thus far been unable to identify his unit. Sadly, the forms and records that might have had this information burned in a fire in 1973. Records for Deet, as well as my Uncle Todd (USAF), were in this fire. For Army personnel discharged Nov. 1, 1912 – Jan. 1, 1960, an estimated 80% of these were lost. For Air Force personnel discharged Sept. 25, 1947 –Jan. 1, 1964, an estimated 75% of these were lost. I still contacted the NARC (National Archives Records Center), and they provided some records, including Deet’s parachutist certification.

When embarking on your family’s military history research, start with what you know and work backward. Your immediate fam-

ily may be able to provide insight or recall certain things that may help you. The first step is to gather all the information you have, such as names, dates, and locations. Then, use this information to search online databases, such as Ancestry and Fold3, for military records. Don’t forget to check local archives, libraries, and museums for additional resources. My Aunt and both of my parents have been of great help in this process. The story of my Uncle Deet above exemplifies how oral history passed on through family can lead to finding supporting information in a book, journal, etc.

Old boxes of family photographs can also provide further information. For example, Deet mailed a postcard to my dad featuring a heavily bombed Hitler’s house when he was on leave visiting Germany. Many old family photos can suffer from “silvering” due to several different factors. Store photos with acid-free materials rather than stacking them in a box, and avoid fluctuations in temperature and sunlight. Photos can be digitized, but care must be taken not to cause more undue damage.

Of course, Ancestry and other sites like it, including Newspapers.com and Fold3, are great sources (though not the only sources) of records and information. Sites like Ancestry often require a subscription for many of their records, but they are great ways to find information. Especially if you are looking for records with a service member’s serial or “service number.” These numbers alone carry a lot of information within them, such

as what component that member was in and the state of their induction. Fold3 has a great article/blog about identifying military personnel and decoding their serial numbers. Other records you might find include enlistment forms and selective service registration forms, which offer, at the very least, a starting point. The further back you go, the harder things can become. Civil War and Revolutionary records can sometimes be hard to read. You also can run into instances where names are spelled differently because of census records. For example, my last name of Sones had changed from its German spelling of Sohnes at some point. Both spellings appear on different census records for the same individual. There could be various reasons, like the census taker misspelling it, a family wishing to avoid discrimination, or just a simple matter of illiteracy at the time. You may have to look at dates and locations and use common sense to ascertain whether the information is for the same individual.

Preserving your family’s military history is not just about learning and documenting. It’s about honoring the men and women who served, understanding their sacrifices, and passing on their legacy to future generations. By writing down or archiving your research, you are ensuring that their stories are not forgotten. Sharing this information with your family is a great way to remember the military service of the men and women in your family tree. More importantly, it’s a great way to preserve it.

County Hall Corner: Civility is Not Dead — Yet

By Larry Stout

am old school when it comes to politics, and I can remember the day when Republicans and Democrats could disagree on issues and still find places where they could agree. These would include areas such as our nation’s safety and security, the environment, law and justice, etc. Politics were politics, of course, and every elected official generally had one main concern they wanted to promote — and that was another term of office!

Supervisors) at their annual conference in Hershey, PA, as well as a number of the regional conferences throughout the state. One of the most often asked questions to me had to do with fellow supervisors who were defiant and obstinate. If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, what happens when fellow supervisors are not even in the same galaxy?

But somewhere in the past couple of decades, the parties have become more and more partisan and do not seem to find much of anything they are able to agree with from the opposite party. In fact, they not only differ but go to extremes to derogate their rivals, as they are just one step down from describing them as Neanderthals whose knuckles drag the floor when they walk and have one eye on their forehead. The immense downside to this demarcation of the two parties is a growing number of the electorate that finds itself struggling with no options, given they cannot agree with either side.

I have seen this even at the local level.

A few years ago, I was a training presenter about leadership for PSATS (Pennsylvania State Association of Township

All this is the background to help understand my admiration for the current board of Lycoming County commissioners. Scott Metzger is the chairman and keeps a firm hand throughout the agenda process. Before the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, Metzger always begins the meeting with a prayer. The prayer almost always includes recognition of an upcoming activity or event and has a way of

COUNTY HALL

helping all those at the meeting remember that more things are going on in the world than what would be discussed in the conference room that morning.

Scott Metzger’s leadership is exemplified in his election as President of the 2024 SEDA-COG Board of Directors. SEDA-COG stands for the Susquehanna Economic Development Association-Council of Governments, which promotes economic development and regional cooperation among eleven counties in northern central Pennsylvania. Being at the top of that regional organization is quite a plum.

The two new commissioners are Vice President Marc Sortman and Secretary Mark Mussina. Despite their names, Marc and Mark are quite different. Like Metzger, Sortman is from the Republican Party, where he was a Loyalsock Township Supervisor for fourteen years. Given that Loyalsock Township is arguably one of the most important townships in our county, if not the whole region, Sortman’s experience has been invaluable in his present position. One aspect of Marc Sortman’s character is somewhat hidden but especially appreciated by me. He is a man who shows self-assurance to the point that he does not need to comment on every agenda item.

This trait he shares with Commissioner Mark Mussina, even though this Mark with a ‘k’ is a horse of a different color. He

is a Democrat who came to politics out of being a realtor, a property manager, an equity partner at NCPA Media LLC., an active participant in the artistic/creative world, and a passionate sports coach for young people. He brings to the table a very different outlook. Like Marc with a ‘c,’ he does not need to hear his voice to be valued. When he adds something to the conversation, it is worth hearing.

These three men, as very different as they are, somehow have already developed a symmetry that many have noticed and that many staff members appreciate. In every meeting I have attended since this board began in January, I have found that all three have an honest passion for improving Lycoming County. To that end, they listen respectively to one another and often build on what another has offered.

From a writer’s point of view, these three guys are sort of boring. Where are all the knock-down, drag-out, and go for the jugular-type scraps that we used to have on Thursday mornings? Where are the dramatic surprises that would pop up out of nowhere? All these guys seem to do is — well, do their business. And they also do it with civility, graciousness, and respect for their colleagues. As Benjamin Franklin advised us so well so long, long ago, “Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none.”

Engaging ways to stay

The support she needs and so much more.

Lately, it seems like there’s no good season for hair. Winter is full of static and dries it out, and the dampness of spring can cause frizz. Summer sun gives color a beating, while autumn can bring about hair loss and shedding. As we head into another hair-damaging season, here’s a rundown of some ways to prevent damage and protect the health of your hair as spring turns to summer and beyond. First, apply sunscreen. I’ve been loving Sun Bum’s Scalp & Hair mist with SPF 30. I spray it above my head and on my daughters’ hair just about every time we leave the house. In fact, our sunscreens sit on top of the shoe shelves by the front door, keeping it handy for skin and hair. Second, drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated during the summer months has multiple benefits. Keeps you from overheating, keeps you cool, and replenishes the fluids lost from sweating. Eight glasses of water a day, or more if it’s a real scorcher, also helps your hair from becoming dull and dry. Speaking of heat, try to avoid it, not only by staying in the shade whenever you’re outside but also lay off the heating

tools when you’re inside. With highs in the 80s here before summer even officially starts, your hair is already experiencing a lot of drying heat. Think about ways to style your hair that don’t involve blow dryers, curling irons, or straighteners. Or better yet, get a haircut. Regular trims prevent split ends and can revive hair in general. You could also splurge on some hydrating treatments at your salon or apply an at-home hair mask like SheaMoisture’s Coconut & Hibiscus or Eva NYC’s Therapy Session Hair Mask, made with argan oil and plant proteins. You can also make a mask with household products like cinnamon and coconut oil or avocado and olive oil. If you’re not already deep conditioning your hair with a mask at least every other week, summer is a great time to add this to your care routine. On the flip side of hydration is exfoliation. Scalp exfoliation keeps the scalp’s skin healthy and clears the buildup from styling products that can make hair dull and dry. A good scrubbing in the shower with your favorite shampoo is the most straightforward means

of exfoliating your scalp. You can also utilize a scalp brush, like Kitsch’s Scalp Exfoliator or Pacifica’s Clarifying Scalp Massager, to massage and scrub your scalp. Exfoliating not only prevents buildup but can also encourage hair growth. You can also apply scalp scrubs if shampoo alone doesn’t seem to be doing the job. I like Bumble and Bumble’s Seaweed Whipped Scalp scrub, which draws out excess oil, leaving the scalp and hair feeling refreshed.

Swim days can be rough on hair. Whether chlorine from the pool, salt from the sea, or just regular river water, you should prep your hair with a water rinse or leave-in spray conditioner before dunking your head underwater. For pools and boats, a hat is a simple means of hair protection. It also protects your face and, if you have a huge, fabulous sunhat — your neck and shoulders. Rinse and clean your hair after swimming, which I know isn’t always convenient. Just dumping some water from a water bottle over your hair helps prevent drying and damage if you can’t get to a shower right away. Or use a hose if one is handy, especially if you’ll be in and out of the pool. Spray off each time you’re out and then reapply sunscreen to your head and body.

Regular hair brushing can improve

hair health, no matter the season, and enables it to grow longer since the strands won’t break as easily. The best way to utilize brushing for healthy hair is by having specific brushes for specific purposes. Every brush has a purpose, whether it is for wet detangling, dry detangling, or styling. And for certain textures, some work better than others. For kids, I like UNbrush’s Detangler Hairbrush, plus it comes in sparkly colors that my girls love. It helps to have a fun hairbrush when working through knots in the morning. For curly and textured hair, check out Kent’s line of brushes for men, women, and children. I use Domax’s Bamboo Haid Comb for my nightly brush out. Manta’s Hairbrush has patented flexguard technology that easily grips and works through strands to detangle wet hair. Of course, you’ll use round brushes when styling. However, if you’re giving the hair dryer a break this summer, you may not need those for a while. If in doubt, ask your hairstylist which brushes they like to use and what would work best for your hair type.

Hopefully, some of these tips will keep your hair healthy and happy for the summer and into the rest of the year. It’s been moving by so fast.

Life on earth will never be the same without you. There will never be another like you. You and your wife Kelly took in anyone or animal that needed a home.

Anyone who met you didn’t forget you. The antiquing world knew you. Your WHS team won the Cross Country State Championship in 1954, tied the meet record to win in the 1955 Central Penn Cross Country Conference championship and the track and field state championship in 1956. You held both the Williamsport and District IV mile and 880 yard records. Your mile wasn’t broken until 1977 and the 880 until 1976.

You excelled in bowling and played in the west branch valley baseball league for 4 seasons and slow pitch softball for 17 seasons. But most of all you excelled in being the amazing person that God perfected. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not. Your earthly family loves and misses you so much!

Until that glorious day when we meet again.

Fly High Wayne!

Beary Cool Experience

First and foremost, I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! If you have been an avid reader of mine, you know that Memorial Day is one of my favorite weekends. Oh, I just love it!

In my head, I swore I had another week till I could write about Memorial Day. I found out real quick that I indeed missed my chance. Where on earth has the month gone!? If I ever miss a holiday or something special, just know that Andrea just wasn’t on her game that week. I apologize. I try to keep up as best I can! Happy kick-off to summer, guys. I hope you had an awesome weekend and remembered those who lost their lives serving our America!

Andrea McElroy

one out front to see if we could catch the bandit who stole our bird feeder.

Oh! And we found the neighbor of the missing bird feeder! It was our neighbors across the street. He had also shown up at their house, but Mr. Schneider told me he had seen a smaller bear when I walked over to let him know we had seen a large bear multiple times at our place.

So lucky you, you get the second half of the bear story a week sooner now! I bet you were just on the edge of your seat!

Tis the season for more wildlife. The warm weather brings everything out, and it’s so neat to watch.

Once we knew there was for sure a bear, we decided to hook our live camera back up. But instead of just putting one out back, we decided to put another

We put the camera out on a Wednesday. Nothing that night. Thursday, we went to my momma and stepdad’s for dinner. We hadn’t been there in a while and stayed till about dark. We got home that evening and got ready for bed. My husband was getting tired, so he drifted into la la land at about 10:15. I stayed awake and played on my phone a bit until I felt tired.

At 10:45, my phone went off, saying, “Motion detection on Wildlife Cam.” I clicked over to it to see what it was. I figured it was the typical spider web or wildlife that comes in to enjoy the corn. My phone loaded the video, and there he was. A huge bear! He was just making himself right at home. I seriously couldn’t believe my eyes!

“Chris, Chris!” I sorta whispered as I was shaking his bodily lightly. “The bear is outside, and he is huge!”

His head popped right up to look at my phone. We sat there watching him for over ten minutes. He would lay his head down, just like he was trying to fall asleep. I watched him for a total of forty minutes that night. It was the coolest thing!

The next night, Friday night, the same thing happened. Our camera went off at about 9 p.m. Big Jeff was back. This time, we put the video up on our TV and watched it live so we could see him even better. Again, we watched him for 30 minutes that night, and Kenzy thought it was just the coolest thing. He took off, and Chris went to grab the spotlight. My heart started pounding as he was putting down a window to see if we could see him.

Sure enough, there he stood in the middle of the yard. Never ran. Just stood there for about a minute, then walked up one of our paths that comes off our yard into our woods. Wow. What a cool experience to be able to watch a bear that long and then see him right out your window feet away. He would come in around 1 to 3 a.m. the next week or so. Of course, we were sound asleep, but there was a video of him in the morning.

The only thing on our front porch cam-

era was one night of our fern blowing in the wind and another night a spider made a cobweb. Nothing crazy.

Let’s jump to a few nights ago. We got home in the dark from my niece’s birthday party on Saturday night at about 10 p.m. They live right up the road. Our darn camera had kept going off out back that night because a cobweb was on it again, so the motion kept going off. We pulled up the driveway, and my husband said to Kenzy, “Hey Kenz, do Daddy a favor and run out back and get the cobweb off the camera, please.”

I said, “Are you out of your mind!? It’s pitch black out there, and there is a 350-400-pound bear running around here. If you want to go out and take your chances, go for it, but our daughter is not stepping foot out there!” He started laughing. I have a feeling he was teasing her because he would never put our daughter in harm’s way. He probably did it to get a rise out of me, and it worked! I wouldn’t step foot out there after dark! Ya crazy!? No way I’d send either of my kids after dark.

So there Chris went, heading out back to get this pesky cobweb off our camera in the dark, silent woods on his own. I went out to the dining room to at least turn on our back porch light so he could see better, and I wanted to make sure he was still alive. I didn’t love him going

out there, either!

Well, wait till you hear what happens next.

Yes — another cliffhanger. Part three!? Say what!?

Don’t you just love me!? Sorry, I have a limit of words I have to stick to, but it gives me plenty to share this month with more that just happened!! Man, I love me a good cliffhanger…

Seven, Eight, Lay Them Straight: More Words from Numbers

By Joseph W. Smith III

As Webb’s “Weird Words” nears its 50th installment, we’re on hiatus from oddball vocab and looking instead at numbers.

In the previous issue, we fleshed out some surprising mathematical word origins, from one to six (monastery, biscuit, trivia, quarantine, quintessential, sextant).

For the seven-base sept-, let’s pick up again with September — the first of four consecutive number-named months. September, of course, comes ninth — not seventh; and the following months are all two short as well (Novem- means nine, for example). As it happens, the ancient Roman calendar originally had only 10 months, with March coming first; when Julius Caesar added January and February in 46 AD, months 7-10 all jumped ahead.

We don’t use this “Julian calendar” anymore — but we do retain July and August, which were named for that first emperor and his successor, Augustus.

As for eight: Most folks know common oct- words like octopus, octagon and perhaps even octet or octameter. My own less-familiar choice for this is octane, a rating for the quality of gasoline — so named because the substance contains eight carbon atoms.

Sadly, there aren’t many modern English

words from the bases non or nov(em) — except that Catholic readers may be familiar with the novena, a nine-day period of special prayers and religious services.

Next comes the more common base dec-, giving us decade, decibel, decathlon, decimal and many more. But did you know that decimate also comes from this?

The word now means “to cause great destruction” or “reduce drastically”; however, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary (which I consulted heavily in this piece), it comes from ancient times — when “the killing of one in ten, chosen by lots, from a rebellious city or a mutinous army was a punishment sometimes used by the Romans.”

And one bonus for 10: The -bel in decibel is from Alexander Graham Bell — since that term was originally used in telephone transmission.

Which brings us to eleven, a respelling of “leave one” — essentially meaning, “one left after 10.”

As for 12: Can’t resist a word-geek favorite — one that book-lovers may also recognize from Norman Juster’s 1961 children’s classic The Phantom Tollbooth: dodecahedron, a three-dimensional figure with 12 faces. Its three-syllable prefix also contains the decabase — with the extra two provide by do-, as in duo.

WORDS

Similarly, it’s easy to see bases for “three” and “10” in triskaidekaphobia, which Dictionary.com defines as “irrational or disproportionate fear of the number 13.”

So … does that mean there’s also a rational or proportionate fear of 13? I dunno; tell me in September, when that date falls on a Friday.

Our final sequential word is fortnight, which originally meant “two weeks” — short for 14 nights, of course. Nowadays, that term is more familiar as Fortnite, a popular online survival game; since I’m not a gamer, I can say only that there’s considerable disagreement on why its makers chose that name — perhaps for a two-week

time period in one version; or a pun on “fort,” which is part of the strategy.

After this, we will jump right to percent — from the familiar Latin base cent- (as in century, centipede and centennial). Percent literally means “for every hundred.”

Now proceeding exponentially: mile, believe it or not, derives from the Latin root mill-, meaning “thousand.” (I’m sure you can provide your own example-words!) In this case, a mile was originally “a thousand paces” — though of course it’s now a good deal more than that … unless you have one heckuva stride.

Beyond this, really high numbers sometimes befuddle folks; for example, what

comes after trillion? And is there such a thing as septillion… or even centillion?

The answer is yes.

Keeping to exponents: Million also comes from mill — because it actually is “a thousand thousands.” If you take that as the start (i.e., “first”), you can move right through the numerical bases from billion and trillion (the “second” and “third” millions) on up through quadrillion, octillion and even centillion — which is a one followed by 303 zeroes.

Keep mind that a googol — spelled that way, and much less familiar in the pre-internet age — is a one followed by 100 zeroes; and a googolplex is a one followed by a googol of zeroes.

Regarding such colossal sums, it’s gener-

ally agreed that there is not enough of anything in the universe to be counted with a number that high — not even atoms.

I suppose by now the number of sites on the worldwide web might be getting close — which may be one reason why our top search engine was named after it; though googol itself was supposedly coined in the 1940s by a mathematician’s eight- or nineyear-old nephew.

As a final and somewhat sobering note: If you counted one number per second for 24 hours a day, it would take you 32 years to reach one billion — and 32,000 for a trillion.

Now consider our $34 trillion national debt and try counting up how long it might take to pay that off…

This Week’s LION: Joe Hamm is Our Man

By Larry Stout

Note: This is the fourth article in a series recognizing ten people who have impacted our community and are great role models.

Here is a trivia question you can spring on your friends. In the recent Pennsylvania primary, what Republican received the most votes for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives? By the title of this column, it should not be hard to guess. In the April primary this year, our local Pennsylvania State Representative for the 84th District, Joe Hamm, received 9,194 votes from his district — the most of any Republican, either incumbent or candidate, in the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!

I am an unashamed superfan of Joe Hamm. It began the first time I met him in 2017. I was a Clinton Twp. Supervisor advocating for a regional police force for our township and was looking around for a model. I found it in the Tiadaghton Valley Regional Police Department located in Jersey Shore. I called the office and talked to borough manager Joe Hamm, who invited me to visit his office and talk about it in person.

When we met, I had a short list of questions and did not want to take more than half an hour of Joe’s time. Joe kept me for an hour and a half to ensure I had all the necessary information. It made a powerful impression on me because he had absolutely nothing to gain by talking to me other than trying to be helpful. When Joe Hamm became President of the Lycoming County Republican Party, he asked me to be on an advisory board with him, and it was there that I really saw the passion and expertise this man had for politics. His impact on the Republican Party in Lycoming County was nothing short of amazing. And when he decided to run for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2020, I was all in. I knew this guy would be great. Yet, little did I expect him to be this great! It starts with his conviction to be a good legislator, not just to vote on bills but to sponsor them. Right now, Joe Hamm has eight prime-sponsored bills, not just partisan ones. For example, his House Bill 424 is designed to address a glitch in the National Guard’s life benefits, which they pay for. National Guard troops are to be deployed in their own state, of course, but there are situations

when they can be deployed outside their state, even overseas. If they die in this course of duty, federal law states they should receive their benefits, but the state law only acknowledges death in Pennsylvania. Joe’s bill resolves this enigma and guarantees these troops get the benefits they deserve. Joe Hamm is also the best person to present this bill as he served in the National Guard and was himself deployed in combat overseas. When Joe is not in Harrisburg, he is all over his district. His latest weekly email, “We the People of the 84th Report,” runs over 1,500 words and gives a great picture of how hard this man works for his district. It tires me just to read the six or eight events he attends each week, such as a Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce PM Exchange, a volunteer fire company banquet, an NRA banquet (banquets are hard to avoid), a Little League opening day, a Girl Scout troop event, a municipal summit, you get the idea. These events might not sound very important, but they become much more important when their state representative honors them with his presence.

Joe Hamm is also astounding because he can have a continual schedule in Harrisburg and throughout his region and still have a happy family. His wife Melissa is a companion seen often in Joe’s work, and his daughters, Madison and

Kennedy, are excellent students and are also not strangers at various events. Joe does not sacrifice his family for his career, as seen also in the family’s active membership in Community Baptist Church in Montoursville.

A good leader also needs to get outstanding people to work with them, and Joe excels in this as well. His staff, Erica Wurster, Kathy Koch, Sarah Brown, and especially his right-hand man, Eric Houser, are all super smart and have the same commitment to serving their community as Joe does.

With 203 members, Pennsylvania has the largest full-time state legislature in the United States, with a population of approximately 63,000 residents in each district. In April’s primary, five seasoned Democratic PA House of Representatives had more votes than Joe Hamm, four of whom were from Philadelphia suburbs and the other from the greater Pittsburgh area. These officials probably have 63,000 residents in one square mile or so. Joe’s district is exactly the opposite, as it is the fourth largest in geographical size among all the 203 districts. His district is spread over two counties! For Hamm to accomplish receiving that many votes from that diverse an area is an amazing election phenomenon. Keep up the good work, Joe. You are an inspiration to us all.

Horoscopes

You may have a chance to get to know someone better this week, Aries. Trust your instincts rather than listening to what is running through the rumor mill.

Taurus, you may be ready to shake things up in regard to your social life or even with a professional pursuit. Work out the path you want to take.

Following your curiosity may lead you down some interesting paths, Gemini. Things can change on a moment’s notice, so

be prepared to respond.

CANCER – Jun 22–Jul 22

An intellectual debate could grow somewhat tiresome this week, Cancer. You need to know when to pull out of the conversation to help maintain your mental well-being.

LEO – Jul 23–Aug 23

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23–Dec 21

You may seek validation from peers or even people on social media if you feel like

you are being inhibited by current insecurities, Sagittarius. Others can corroborate your value.

Proactive changes you make this week may improve your love life, Capricorn.That can be a good thing if you have encountered relationship issues lately.

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

a guy in a tri-corner hat, carrying a musket, but if it meant living like our Founding Fathers, A.J. Jacobs was game.

His efforts started some years ago when he wrote a book, “The Year of Living Biblically,” and he noticed that the Bible had a lot in common with America’s Constitution. He’d once lived like a Levite; why not party like it’s 1787?

The first order of business was to find and actually read the entire Constitution. It was a “revelation... just how much our lives are affected by this 4,543-word document inscribed on calfskin...” We’re affected so much so,

even after 200-plus years, that today’s SCOTUS wrestles with centuries-old Constitutional verbiage to make modern laws. Mostly, Jacobs says, any interpretation depends on whether you prefer “living constitutionalism” or originalism. The former argues for adaptation; the latter, for literal interpretation.

Jacobs chose the latter, and living like Ben Franklin, so he learned to write with a quill pen with light from a beeswax candle. George Washington plied Virginia voters with gallons of spirits, and Jacobs appreciated the “liquid courage.” Jacobs tried to vote out loud, but though a secret ballot isn’t a

Constitutional right, it’s the law today. He joined a re-enactment group and learned to shoot that musket. He took advantage of the free press and the right to assemble (in his living room). He “quartered” a soldier and petitioned Congress. And he determined that when it comes to our Constitution, “We the People” must be vigilant... If ever there was a right time to read “The Year of Living Constitutionally,” it’s today. Our lives, our futures are being debated and decided now, in real time. It’s serious stuff. Or not so much, with author A.J. Jacobs at the wheel. Who knew that history could be so fun? Jacobs makes it so, by bravely liv-

ing like a Founding Father, even if it seemed embarrassing sometimes – and then he tells us about it. Remember that guy in high school who’d accept any dare if there was a few bucks involved? Yeah, it’s kind of like that, only better because Jacobs also teaches his readers a thing or two about the years in which our Forefathers lived, and about a document that we can’t – and perhaps shouldn’t – stop talking about. This is an enjoyable book, maybe a slight bit irreverent for certain readers, but surely full of humor and things you didn’t know. If you think you really need to read “The Year of Living Constitutionally,” well, you’re right.

Williamsport Sun May 27, 1935

Cole Brothers-Clyde Beatty, the second largest circus in the world is in Williamsport today. It was around 8 o’clock last night

when the Cole-Beatty Circus arrived in town. Thousands waited from noon to witness the unloading and the thousands were either at Third and Rose streets or the Maynard Street grounds when the rest wagons were detrained. They were not disappointed though

the circus men were forced to be nocturnal laborers to complete their task of erecting the canvas city.

In addition to the performance this afternoon, another exhibition will be given tonight, the doors opening promptly at 7 p.m. to permit inspection of the Clyde Beatty zoological exhibit.

Thousands thronged the downtown streets around noontime when the street parade of the Cole-Beatty Circus passed in review. The parade lived up to advanced notices and presented over 200 horses, five bands of music and two calliopes, as well as a long line of elephants and camels. Bandwagons

much like they had 20 years ago were also much in evidence.

Altogether more than American performers will be seen in the big show. They represent 18 foreign countries. In this vast modern circus are single companies of performers that outnumber the entire personnel of old time shows. Three rings, two stages, immense steel arena, a huge aerial enclave and giant hippodrome oval are used simultaneously for the displays.

The circus will depart at midnight over the Pennsylvania Railroad for Wilkes-Barre where it will exhibit Tuesday.

The Roving Sportsman… It’s the Birthing Season

By Jon Pries

The cool spring days of rainy weather seem to evolve into warm rainy weather. The combination of warmer days, frequent showers, and occasional thunderstorms has produced taller grasses that will help hide newborn fawns from predation. The leaves in the hardwood forests are definitely more developed than in previous springs, providing great cover for newly born grouse chicks and turkey poults. Hopefully, this added cover will help yield a greater number of surviving new birds and mammals.

Springtime is when we all look forward to seeing the newborn fawns. They always seem to inspire such a great feeling of joy as we watch them interact with their mother in their first weeks of life. Their initial unsteadiness vanishes in just a few days as they gain strength and agility. It is not long before we can watch in amazement as they run back and forth helter-skelter with what seems like boundless ener-

gy!

But it’s that time of year when we need a gentle reminder. The reminder is that Mother Nature has things well in hand and doesn’t need interference from any well-intended humans.

In the next several weeks, young of all kinds will come into this world — from baby birds to those oh-so-cute fawns with their big brown eyes and beautiful white spots!

All of these magnificent young birds and mammals are wonderful to observe but need to be watched from a distance. If you get too close, the newly born or weeks-old young can panic — causing young birds to drop from a nest or young mammals to flee their hiding spot and put themselves in danger of predation. Take photographs if you want but do so from a distance to avoid putting the subjects in danger. Probably the most encountered young of any species is the fawns of the whitetail deer. Their birth is underway and will continue for several more weeks. Spring gobbler hunters or those folks just out for a hike will have good odds

of spotting one of these young deer — usually curled up and lying still to avoid predation. During the initial phase of a newly born fawn’s life, it has no scent. This helps prevent predation during this early phase while it develops the strength in its legs to (hopefully) outrun any predators that cross its path. By the time it develops its scent, it should have the strength and stamina to outrun anything that is looking at it as its next meal.

Among all its predators, the black bear takes more fawns every spring than any others. This is a fact that many have difficulty accepting, but studies here in Pennsylvania and other states support that fact. Those of you who spend time outdoors may have wondered why you have more black bear sightings this time of year. It is because they are out cruising fields and woodlots in search of fawns, and they will do so in daylight hours and nighttime.

On more than one occasion, I have witnessed this bear activity. Several years ago, I watched two large (about 300 pounds each) bears slowly sauntering across a fallow grass field, staying about 40 to 50 yards apart as they scanned their path in search of a fawn.

I often wondered just how friendly or sharing they would be if their joint efforts produced a fawn and they were subjected to possibly sharing their discovery.

Additionally, I recall sleeping with my window open and rapidly sitting up in bed as I was awakened to the loud cry of a fawn in the early morning darkness as a bear must have discovered it. The thought of what must have been happening was not pleasant, but it was the reality of a typical act in nature.

What should you do if you encounter a fawn in the wild? First, understand that it’s not abandoned. The mother is likely nearby, observing from a safe distance. Once you leave, she will return to care for her young. So, take a moment to appreciate this unique sighting, but remember to keep your distance. The last thing you want is to startle the fawn and inadvertently alert a nearby predator!

If you are lucky enough to encounter a young bird or animal, appreciate the fact that you can make such an observation, enjoy this brief time of seeing something most folks never have a chance to see, and make sure that you “Look, But Don’t Touch!”

The Antlers are Coming

It’s that time of year again — that time when we deer hunters start studying deer more closely in search of new antler growth. It’s not just deer hunters, though, since even non-hunters seem to get excited when they spot a set of big deer antlers. I know me and a lot of others are looking closely at the images of deer on our trail cameras in hopes of spotting this fall’s buck-hunting prospects.

able, and as the daylight lengthens, antler growth accelerates. According to a study at the Mississippi State University deer lab, it was found that antlers are the fastest-growing tissue known to man, and antlers can lengthen up to 1.5 inches in a single day. A buck’s first set of antlers usually begin to show up when they are ten months old.

The development and growth of deer antlers is, in fact, an interesting topic, and this past week, I had the opportunity to attend a seminar on antler development conducted by Kevin Wenner, a Wildlife Management Supervisor with the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The following is some of the interesting information I gleaned from that presentation and some other Game Commission sources.

Antler growth usually begins around mid-March to mid-April. The timing of antler growth is triggered by the photoperiod or the amount of daylight avail-

There are a number of factors that play an essential role in antler development. As already mentioned, increased daylight hours add to antler growth, but other factors also come into play, such as the quantity and quality of the doe’s milk, which improves as we move into spring.

Bear in mind that deer are often stressed through the winter months due to a lack of food sources, but come spring, abundant food sources begin to appear, decreasing stress and adding to the health of the deer. The increasing daylight, additional food sources, genetics, health, age, stress, and habitat quality all add to a buck’s antler development.

Outdoors with Ken Hunter…

Ken Hunter

Several things can go wrong during antler development, and oddities can sometimes occur.

I’m sure many of us have seen something unusual in a buck’s antlers over the years, so what causes these oddities? When a buck is still in velvet, when the soft developing bone is still covered by a layer of skin, hair, and blood vessels, they are more susceptible to injuries. An injury at the base of the antler or the pedicle can result in a “club-like” antler, and this deformity can persist for several years. Additional antlers growing beside the standard two could result from

genes or cells being “transplanted” due to some type of injury. There is also a condition known as “contralateral effects,” where an injury to one side of a deer’s body can cause an antler deformity on the opposite side. Reasons for this are unknown.

Antlers begin to harden as the day lengths increase and the buck’s testosterone production increases. By the end of July, most bucks’ antlers are fully formed. It’s not long after that, and after spotting a few good buck racks, we hunters begin some serious scouting in hopes of collecting one.

South Williamsport HOF Welcomes Eiswerth & Polk

Author Thomas Wolfe once wrote, “ You can’t go home again.” But as the two men sat upon the stage at South Williamsport High School, one coming from three blocks away and the other traveling 1,000 miles, coming home to where it all began was humbling for both of them.

For Chris Eiswerth and Nick Polk, the occasion was their induction into the South Williamsport High School Hall of Fame, joining eleven others so honored since its inception in 2014.

Although the pair have achieved notoriety in the world of sports, this homecoming honor was bestowed on them in recognition of the achievements made throughout their careers by the contributions they have made to society and serving as role models for youth.

A 1987 graduate, Eiswerth has taught for 25 years, the last eighteen as a fourthgrade teacher in Troy. His 27-year coaching career includes the past 13 seasons at the helm of the Mountaineers, where his teams have won 103 games and numerous league and district titles.

“I am very, very humbled. This is my home. This is Renee’s home. We grew up

here. Both of our families still live here. That makes it really special. Anytime you can make a mark on where you were born and grew up, it makes it all that more rewarding.

“Number one, I am a mentor. I’m someone who is trying to help kids find their way. I’m a teacher, an educator, and, I would say, a leader. When I see kids do well, work hard, achieve their goals, and look at you with that smile, that makes it all worthwhile. There is no feeling like that.

“As they go through life, everyone hopes to find their purpose. I’ve been very blessed because I found my purpose. My purpose is doing those things I’ve mentioned day in and day out.

“As a teacher and a coach, parents share their children with me and my staff. Every year, you go through the process of building something. I would hope that each of the kids I have been entrusted to interact with can look back and take the things we talk about on a daily basis and carry them through their life. Hopefully, what the kids may learn from me will help prepare them for their life’s journey.

“During all these years of coaching, I have been fortunate to have the support

Scott Lowery

of Renee and my family. Coaching can be rewarding but is a commitment, and if you don’t have that support at home, it is not going to work. She has gone above and beyond, and that has been a huge factor in what we’ve accomplished over the years.”

Polk, a 1982 graduate, echoed Eiswerth’s humbling comments.

“I’m really excited and humbled. It is an honor to be selected for any Hall of Fame, and being included by your high school makes it all that more special. I am appreciative of those who made and supported my nomination.”

Following his graduation from Lock Haven University, Polk embarked on a football coaching career that morphed into a successful career with the National Football League. During his NFL tenure, he served as NFL Europe Director of Football Operations and spent 17 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons as Director of Football Operations and Administration.

Calling the 2016 Super Bowl experience with the Falcons “the most exciting thing I’ve experienced,” Polk now serves with Athletes First, a Gainesville, Floridabased organization representing elite coaches and executives in both the college and professional ranks.

“I was fortunate to have parents who instilled a work ethic, and I had the foundation of a good education. The thing that gives me the most satisfaction is my family, and we have two daughters who are grown and graduated from college. That is the most successful thing

of any of life’s endeavors.

“But I continue to stress to young people it is all about the drive and the ability to enjoy the journey along the way.

“Professionally, it is all about people and those who have helped you along the way. You can never get it done by yourself. One of the things I always say is every day is an interview, and you just never know what may develop from the people you meet.

“Young people should take advantage of the mentors they have in their life, whether it be a teacher, coach, or family member. That is where the foundation starts. The definition of success is whatever makes you happy. It’s not about money or status. One thing a person can control is doing the little things that nobody else wants to do. It is easy to go through a career just doing what you are assigned. If you want to succeed and progress, you need to find a way to make yourself stand out that differs from the average applicant or individual you are competing against.”

Unlike the school’s decorated athletes, whose photos adorn the gymnasium lobby walls, Eiswerth and Polk’s likenesses will hang in the library along with those previously honored. That list includes Jack Garner, Heather Davis Meyers, Michael Gehret, Richard T. George, Eugene Landon, William (Nathan) Thomas, Paul Follmer, Karen Rake McCauley, John T. Engel, Rebecca Schneider Agure, and yours truly, for which I share Eiswerth and Polk’s humble gratitude.

My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. Yes. There is never a dull moment. I have been with the company for eight great seasons. I have been exposed to every facet of the countertop business. I am not the strongest guy, and these rocks are super heavy. I tend to break stuff, and my fellow work chums say that I am a liability. They also complained that I spent most of my time talking with the homeowners. I moved to the shop and learned how to fabricate. I was then banned from driving the forklift. I now mostly work in sales and handle follow-ups. It is much safer for everyone. We are truly blessed to work with so many great people. I have met some outstanding folks. Young and old. Stupendous. We treat every top the same, regardless of size and materials. When something goes wrong, it is always my fault. No worries. I am a retired high school basketball coach. But you wouldn’t believe some of these projects. Insane. I am starting to dislike HGTV and PINTEREST. Waterfall edges to

Jamie Spencer

faucets coming out of the walls. It’s incredible. I can only imagine what would happen if Trump got the nod. John? I told you before that I have a great relationship with a few Amish cabinet builders. I absolutely love our interactions. It is a true joy, and I enjoy our experiences. I am not kidding. I look forward to our visit. I try to see them every other. My bearded friends and I have worked on many great projects. We have also entertained many conversations. Even politics. My guys ask some very difficult questions. I am quite comfortable in serving as a liaison. I feel bad for introducing Amos to FACETIME.

WHAT IS AI? Hmm. AI is a trending topic. Artificial Intelligence refers to computers capable of performing complex tasks that historically only a human could do, such as reasoning, making decisions, and even solving problems. I am pretty sure that you (AMISH) are OK, but many of us English fear that we will be replaced by robots.

IS THAT THE SAME AS ALGORITHM? Somewhat. Let me give you an

example. Last week, I purchased a few fishing lures from AMAZON. People do it all of the time. Here. (Pull out my phone) OK. I am searching for something to buy. I click this button. Boom. I already paid for it. I should get these flies by Friday. But here is the kicker. Now, let me open Facebook. (Show my friends) You see these ads? They are the exact same or similar products that we just bought. Scary stuff, boys. THAT IS INCREDIBLE. DID YOU TELL YOUR PHONE TO DO THAT? HOW DOES IT KNOW? SCARY INDEED.

My guys think that I am important. Yes. They make me feel special. They can’t believe the number of folks I know in the four surrounding counties. My bearded friends are all avid readers of the Webb Weekly. We often talk about an article. Fishing is a common passion. We compare notes quite often. Don’t let their looks fool you. These guys aren’t sitting around with cane poles. My chums have nicer setups than I do. I always give my brothers a few new lures. I am a big fan of Heddon Torpedo. Big Jake’s son knows exactly what I am talking about.

I tend to spoil their many children at XMAS. Fishing rods for everybody. Nancy Drew books for the ladies. My friends are so appreciative. Most have

met my wife and Jensen. Some helped save the day when we were working on the addition. We will forever be indebted. I have some great material. My bearded brothers and I belong on television. I am almost finished with my pilot. Netflix said no. Hulu hasn’t responded to the hundreds of emails. I still have to convince my friends to capture some footage. They aren’t allowed to pose. All we do is laugh and have fun. HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED AGAINST LEBRON JAMES? YOU CAN’T FIND THAT ON YOUTUBE. ENGLISH CAN HAVE FIRES TOO. WHO IS JOHNNY DEPP? DO YOU KNOW WHERE CHOCOLATE MILK COMES FROM? JAMIE. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? Too good. You can’t make it up.

My bearded brothers are a true blessing. They remind me to stay humble. Keep things simple. They are very impressive and hardworking people. They all have the gift of gab. Extremely talented and well-read. I love hearing more about their faiths and traditions. I am even starting to pick up a few words in their native language. I tend to believe the feelings are mutual. A total joy to interact with via work and on a personal basis. Much love to Big Jake and Sam. Jonas, Amos, and Ben. Thank you for being my friends. Cheers.
