There are two wonderful ladies I hear from on a regular basis. I believe both give me way too much credit for my writing, creativity, and ability to reach people in a special way. Both pray for me, encourage me, and let me know I’m loved. Both tell me I have a gi that I need to use in the most positive way for good. at there is too much division and hatred fueled by negativity; don’t fall into that trap, even if you’re right. Try to use your pen to unite, not divide. at is what is most needed in our Nation today.
Now for where I’m going with this. One lady is a Democrat, and one lady is a Republican. Both love God, our Country, and their fellow man in the name of Jesus. So, how do I honor these ladies’ requests and provide a column that has in it what many are looking for this week? What my thoughts are on the New York hush money trial of Donald Trump. I understand the fact that no matter what I write, it will upset folks on both sides of the political aisle, creating exactly what the ladies say I should avoid. Did I mention I believe they are both right, along with a lot of others who tell me the same thing, although I don’t know their political a liation? So, here is my attempt at holding my-
self to that standard. I could ll the pages ahead with my thoughts about the trial, former President Trump, and all involved in so many ways, including President Biden. ere is enough incendiary information to in ame both Republicans and Democrats. But what would that accomplish, other than me having to talk to a lot of upset people, which I always try to do no matter how upset they are? Go gure. I think people forget or haven’t read my writings over the years when I tell them I was raised by a evenly divided family of staunch Republicans and Democrats. Which I believe has instilled the best of both parties within me. at I do my best to present whatever the column is with honesty and integrity. Not with a political slant. I o en try to use common sense to make my points. Just try explaining that to a far right-wing nut or to a far-le beyond-liberal who isn’t going to agree with anything I say. is is because I remain a registered Republican to keep my right to vote in the May elections. So, now my thoughts about the trial, the a ermath, and the upcoming election. What a mess! e American people deserve so much better than this on so many levels. However, this is where we are at this point in American history. I still believe it will be the same two candidates on the ballot come November, and the next
president will be decided by the power of the vote. What is most important in my eyes is for the American people to nd a way to become uni ed for what is best for the future, not the individual.
I ran a column for Memorial Day and highlighted it with an experience I had at Celebration Villa and how the St. John Neumann Regional Academy kindergarteners brought tears to my eyes with their singing of God Bless America. It was great to hear from so many of you about how you appreciated and understood the emotions I was trying to paint with words. I never asked if you were Republican or Democrat — nor did I care. Several suggested I run a picture of the group. I thought that was a great idea.
Please remember my contact information is always on page 4, and I do listen. I will nish this week with something I know but would never ask. e beautiful children within this photo are those of Republicans, Democrats, and some who might not really care. I’m sure all are proud of the way their sons and daughters, in unison, represented God, Country, and Family for the community.
When you look at the smiles on these kids’ faces, you see that the future must be preserved through the uni cation of the American people through the goal of the common good. I pray this picture is worth a thousand words of positivity and not a single word of negativity. God Bless America.

Ihave absolutely fallen o the healthy wagon. Multiple times this year alone! But that’s OK. Because no matter how many times you fall o , you can always get back on. So back on we go!
It been di cult for me to work out a good time to hit the gym. ere’s not really enough time between when the Y opens and when the school bus comes, and I absolutely loathe going to gym a er work. I don’t know why, but the thought of leaving work and the going to work out just irks me to no end. So, I just haven’t been going.
A er my last weekend adventure climbing a mountain in Vermont, I de nitely realized that it’s time to get my booty back in the gym. Now that school is out, I have more time to be able to get to the Y rst thing in the morning. If you see me at the Y and cranky at 5:00 a.m., just move along. A er I leave and get some co ee, I’ll be ne! e other side of things is eating well. With current prices, even the thought of going to the grocery store scares me (and my debit card!), but, alas, we all have to eat and if we want to live long healthy lives, we need to eat well. Fuel our bodies, but also enjoy what we are eating.
I am fortunate in that I love a good salad. I found a couple of summer salads that look fantastic, and you know how much a love to share good food with y’all. If, like me, you are also looking for a healthier summer, try these out and let me know what you think!

Natalie Hall, Raygan Lust, Sienna Dunkleberger, and Claire Dufrene. ese names will forever be etched in the history of Warrior Run High School sports. ey achieved a feat that no other female track team has ever accomplished at Warrior Run school — winning a state track and eld title. eir winning time of 9:25:2, breaking their own team record by two seconds, is a testament to their exceptional performance.
Scott Ho man, the dedicated and proud coach, played a crucial role in guiding this milestone-winning team to their victory.
“ e group worked hard all season. Each of them is extremely competitive and driven to be their best. ey bought into the training that we were providing them that emphasized speed. ey were given race plans, and they executed them each time they stepped onto the track. ey were dedicated to being the best relay in the state this season. is was a group of girls who never seemed to fear the moment but were disappointed when they didn’t reach their own personal goals. ey have quali ed for the National meet in Philadelphia in a few weeks in June,” Ho man told Webb Weekly. He continued, “ ey ran hard and performed at the highest level of competition. Raygan
Lust was individual 3rd in the 400. Claire Dufrene was individual 5th in the 1600. Natalie Hall, Claire Dufrene, Callie Ulmer, Raygan Lust were 5th in the 4x400 Relay. Aurora Cieslukowski was 2nd in the Pole Vault. These results earned the team the State Runner Up Trophy for AA Girls. The 4x800 Relay was State Champions, but the girls each performed in events throughout the weekend to achieve success as a team. Similar to the success of the relay, each leg that runs in the race needs to perform well for the relay to run well. The team performance was an example of that at the State Meet.”
“I am proud of each of the girls that competed and to earn five state medals — which included a State Champion Relay, This group of girls experienced a historic day that was the payoff for all of the hard work they put into the season. They were excited
about the entire meet and the team’s success as much as being a State Champion. That exemplifies the quality of person these girls are. They showed humility and maturity in the process that led them to their success. Warrior Run can be proud of these girls and their accomplishments they achieved this track season,” Hoffman concluded.
Greg Watson, Warrior Run Athletic Director, was also bursting with pride at the girls’ milestone accomplishment.
“Over the years, Warrior Run has produced some really competitive girls’ track teams. I believe this team is one of the best. I know the Warrior Run Community is very proud of what they accomplished,” Watson said. With three of the four members of this milestone relay coming back next season, prospects are bright for another banner season for this relay team.

My father was a fireman for over fifty years, and some of my earliest memories was waking up in the middle of the night hearing the extremely LOUD klaxon alarm that alerted the local firemen that a fire was in progress. If it was nearby, I would even sneak out of the house to watch those willing to respond and risk their lives to help others.
Today, emergency operations and practices are much, much more highly developed, and that goes for the training as well.
In the past, much of the learning was simply on-the-job training, learning by watching and then doing. Since then, emergencies have become more difficult, and they deal with obstacles and challenges that did not exist so many years ago.
For example, auto accidents, especially with electric cars, can easily result in fires, and these lithium battery fires are tremendously difficult to deal with. Emergency responses to drug overdoses, particularly fentanyl, can be extremely difficult because of the uncontrollable condition of the patient. At the worst extreme, we should never forget the 343 firefighters in New York City who lost their lives because of responding to the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
Lycoming County is very fortunate to have several well-trained and devoted emergen-
cy responders and an infrastructure that protects our community.
At the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on Thursday, May 23rd, there was a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week. It was appropriate that after the readings of this proclamation, there was an award presentation by the EMS Program Manager Director for Lycoming County William Miller recognizing three outstanding individuals.
The Lycoming County Rescue Technician of 2023 was Lee Arbogast. He is a critical member of Rescue Task Force 80, and his knowledge and skills have been incremental in three recent emergencies. One was at the Worlds End State Park, where Arbogast helped airlift to a trauma center an individual had fallen at the falls. In another situation, Arbogast’s knowledge of trails helped locate a missing person who was in distress at the Water Authority in Bastress Township.

e Lycoming County Paramedic of 2023 was Shane Newvine, a Jersey Shore EMS. is individual has been a paramedic in this region for many years, and all the hats Newvine wears are vital in Tactical EMS and instructing many providers in our region.
Last but certainly not least of these three exceptional emergency responders is the Lycoming County EMT of 2023, Casey Parker, from the Clinton Township Fire Company.
Given that I am a member of this company, I personally know how much this man deserves this prestigious award.
For example, in the past few months, Casey was instrumental in using life-saving treatment on three cardiac arrest patients, resulting in their full recovery. I have been on ambulance runs with Casey, and even on routine runs, I am always amazed at his professionalism, no matter how big or small the emergency might be.
What makes this award even more significant is the fact that seven years ago, Casey Parker was just happy to be accepted into our re company. He had some very painful health problems that unfortunately led him to one bad decision on his part. It was actually a turning point for him, but unfortunately, he was kicked o the train he was riding on. It seemed that no one trusted him, and no one wanted to work with him.
Chief Todd Winder saw the potential in this man and invited him to Clinton Township’s Station 12. I remember the meeting that
night seven years ago when Casey shared his troubles and was hoping for a second chance. e vote that night to accept him was unanimous.
Since then, he has proven himself in a thousand di erent ways. He o en took on projects that no one else wanted to do. Every spare minute he had was at the re company station. He was (and still is) the ‘go-to’ guy that many of the members turn to for answers about activities or upcoming events.
And his service has been extraordinary. Casey Parker has proven to be an outstanding EMT and has worked his way up the ladder from one position to the next in the past seven years. In January of this year, he was voted Assistant Chief for the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company, essentially the vice president of our company. Our county should be proud of the caliber of our rst responders. is year marks the 50th anniversary of National EMS Week, and Lycoming County is fortunate to have outstanding individuals like Rescue Technician Lee Arbogast, Paramedic Shane Newvine, and EMT Casey Parker. ey certainly deserved to be recognized for their outstanding service. As Lycoming County’s EMS Program Manager Director William Miller shared at that recent commissioner’s meeting, we must stay focused on the road ahead, evolving, innovating, and ensuring that EMS has the support needed to continue to answer the public’s call for help when it’s most needed.
In an atmosphere of calm seriousness, devoid of the lightheartedness that normally marks holiday occasions, Williamsport is observing D-Day.
From early morning when news rst reached this city of the Allied landings on continental Europe, local residents put aside their accustomed task, and dedicated the day to private and public prayers and to the exceptions of news bulletins.
Bells and whistles sounded at 6 a.m. Churches opened their doors shortly a er that hour, but then persons had begun to cluster about the doors.
Long before dawn lights began to appear throughout the city and radios could be heard.
e entire community represented by an estimated 3,806 young men and women in military service abroad — gave evidence of being mindful of the gravity of today’s great warfare. ose families which are not themselves rep-
resented in the ghting units, were nonetheless considerate of the anxiety which friends and neighbors are bearing.
Business was at a standstill today as merchants kept their stores closed, professional services were largely curtailed.
Drug stores and food stores stayed opened as previously planned. Early in the day managements of liquor stores and taprooms, a bit confused about closing, but as the day wore on, most closed their doors. Many liquor establishments had D-Days signs on their doors.
A somewhat Sunday-like atmosphere prevailed on Williamsport’s business district’s streets. Policemen stood on city streets as pedestrians moved slowly by the closed stores, stopping brie y to look in windows. Tra c was light. Many war plants made D-Day another workday putting into their jobs a new interest. One worker when questioned hurriedly said, “We got production to get out,” and returned hurriedly to his machine.

n May 18th, local strongman Adam Grimes competed at the Pagoda City Showdown in Reading. The competition had a total of 71 competitors amongst all divisions, making it the biggest competition in PA this year. Grimes competed in the Men’s Super Heavyweight division, which has the heaviest events and lifts of the show, and was one of seven competitors in that division. The contest was comprised of five events and included the Dinnie-Stone Walk, circus dumbbell clean and press, truck pull, sandbag load, and a max silver dollar deadlift.
The show started with the Dinnie-Stone Walk, where competitors had to carry two implements, weighing a combined weight of 500 pounds, down a 25-foot course in the fastest time possible. No drops were permitted once the attempt had started. This event was meant to simulate the famous Dinnie stones, which are a stone-lifting challenge in Scotland. “I had been training very hard for this event,” said Grimes. “I even fashioned my own implements to simulate it. I was very proud of my performance, placing first with a time of 8.9 seconds.”
The second event was the circus dumbbell clean and press, where competitors would lift the weight for as many repetitions as possible in 60 seconds. The circus dumbbell, essentially a giant dumbbell with a two-inch-thick handle, weighed 150 pounds and had to be cleaned to the shoulder before being pressed for every repetition. The athlete also had to fully extend their arm overhead with a locked-out elbow and demonstrate control of the dumbbell to receive an approved rep. “With this being my favorite overhead event, I was especially looking forward to it. I easily managed to hit eight reps for a first-place tie in this event,” said Grimes.
The third event was the truck pull. In this event, the athlete would wear a harness attached to a large truck, and the athlete would be given a rope to pull. Grimes was leading by one point at this point in the competition and knew he had to perform well to maintain his lead. “I managed to get another joint first with a time of 8.66 seconds,” said Grimes. Remarkably, there was less than one second between first and seventh place in this event.
The fourth event was the 300-pound

sandbag load over a 52-inch-high bar for as many repetitions as possible in 60 seconds. If there was an event that Adam was not looking forward to, it was this one. “Training hadn’t gone quite as well as I would have hoped. ankfully, I was able to push hard and got yet another joint rst with four reps”. is performance put Grimes four points ahead of second place. e h and nal event was the last man standing silver dollar deadli . is event was inspired by old-time strongman feats where they would actually li boxes lled with coins. Unlike a conventional deadli , the bar height started at 18 inches high. “ is was the event I was looking forward to the most since I’ve held multiple state records and even a world record in it. ankfully, I was in a position where I only had to place third to guarantee the overall win,” said Grimes. As he had hoped, Adam was able to li 900 pounds for a competition personal record and placed third in this event. He also attempted 1,000 pounds, which, unfortunately, was not approved by 2 of 3 judges. “I was still quite happy with this performance as it more than guaranteed the overall win of the competition with a six-point lead over second place and ten points over third.”
When asked how he felt his strongman career was progressing, Grimes replied, “I can say that I am very happy with my performance. I met or exceeded my personal expectations at every event.” In addition to adding to his trophy collection and list of
accomplishments, his rst-place nish also earned him an invitation to the US Strongman National Championship in 2025. When asked what was next for the local strength phenom, Grimes responded, “My next planned competition is Pennsylvania’s Strongest Man, which is in September. Also, I would just like to say thank you to my wife, my mother, and my father for all that they do to help me be able to compete. I would also like to thank God for giving me these opportunities and abilities.”

The rainy days of spring are on their way out and soon we will be heading into the summer sun. is time of year is prime time to head outdoors and enjoy all that the region has to o er. Whether you plan to head out to the woods for a hike or camping trip, paddle down your local creek or river, or simply lounge out by your pool or on the patio grilling, taking time to ensure you are doing so safely can help you enjoy plenty of “ahh” moments and minimize your risk for “ouch!”
Consider the following tips to help stay injury-free and out of the emergency room: Keep an Eye on Swimmers
– When the temperatures climb, it’s fun and refreshing to hop in a pool or pond or go for a oat in the creek. You should always supervise young and weaker swimmers around water. Try appointing someone as a lifeguard to keep an eye on swimmers. Make sure younger children are within arm’s reach in the water, wear the appropriate otation device for your skill level and activity, and never drink alcohol while swimming, operating a boat, or supervising
swimmers.
– When it comes to picking a bathing suit for your child, consider the color for visibility. Light blue, pastel, or light tan colors, are especially dangerous as they blend in with the water, making it di cult to see the child, especially if they are at the bottom of the pool making it challenging for lifeguards or parents to see a child in distress quickly. In contrast, bright colors like uorescent orange, green, pink, and red are the safest options for children’s swimsuits. ese colors stand out and are easy to spot in the water.
Stay Safe Under the Sun
– ere’s no better feeling a er a cold winter and rainy spring than soaking up the sun — but don’t forget sunscreen. Skin can become severely burned a er just a few hours in the sun, which can increase your risk of skin cancer in the long run. Even if you are covered up, ensure any exposed skin is protected. A hat and sunglasses can o er extra coverage. Don’t forget to reapply the sunscreen a er two hours of sun exposure.
– Picnics and patio gatherings are fun. Ensure they are cool by providing shade, like umbrellas or covered picnic areas, to reduce sun exposure for yourself and your guests.
See UPMC on Page 20
Meatloaf
– Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout the day, heat-related illness can be very serious and even life-threatening. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Drink plenty of water and if you want to mix it up, choose a non-alcoholic and caffeine-free beverage. Don’t Get Burned by a Fire or the Grill – Hot dogs, hamburgers, and steaks, yum! These staples are traditionally cooked up on a grill outside, but before you break out the grill for the season, make sure it has been thoroughly cleaned. Dirty grills cause many injuries, particularly propane grills. Keep items that you don’t want grilled away from the flame, and don’t wear loose clothing while you grill. After your barbecue is over, make sure the coals are completely out, and the propane is turned off at the tank — knobs can accidentally get bumped by guests, little hands, and pets.
tended.
Drink Responsibly
– Alcohol might be a part of your celebration. If so, decide in advance how much alcohol you are going to be drinking, and stick to your plan. If you are going out, elect a designated driver or pre-arrange alternate transportation home.
– Just like you would not drive your vehicle while intoxicated, avoid drinking alcohol while boating, riding a four-wheeler or side-by-side, dirt bike, or even riding your lawnmower or other outdoor equipment.
– Warm weather and the sun can easily cause dehydration, especially if you are drinking alcohol. Consume plenty of water in addition to your beverage of choice and don’t drink on an empty stomach.
This time of year is beautiful in northcentral Pennsylvania. With planning, you and your family can enjoy the season and the summer holidays ahead without having to make a trip to the emergency department. If an accident does occur, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
– A great ending to a day outdoors includes a group of friends around a campfire, but it is important to make sure everyone stays safe. Alcohol and fires usually mean trouble. Alcohol impairs judgment and it can be a dangerous combination with fire. Watch children around open flames and teach them fire safety.
– If you are camping, keep tents and other flammable materials away from the campfire. Build your fire downwind from your campsite, and ensure the fire is out before going to bed. Make sure the fire is fully extinguished as even smoldering coals can reignite and get out of control if left unat-

Part three of the bear story. Boy, I never expected it to last that long, but I am glad it did. I know how many of you enjoy the random life stories I share. You have to get creative when writing each week. I love sharing life and experiences with my readers. Plus, you get to know me even better. I’m sure not many of you know my fear of bears.
So where were we? Oh yes, Chris is outside in the pitch black with a slight glow from our porch light, just reaching the very edge of our woods line. He was getting the cobweb off our trail cam that is nestled in the woods and it kept causing our phone to go off with motion alerts.
When Chris came inside that night, it was probably after 10 p.m. Kenzy and I were in the bathroom brushing our teeth. Ty was sleeping over at a friend’s house that evening, so Kenzy asked if she could sleep in our room that night. We have a recliner right next to our bed, and she has a cubby she loves sleeping in, too! We live in a cape cod, so the roof line has some cool space in our bedroom. She enjoys the cubby in the winter, which is lined with Christmas lights inside, and the recliner in the warmer months, where she enjoys the air.
We all came upstairs right after brushing our teeth and got all cozy in bed. It was quite the day, and I was happy to get all snuggled
Andrea McElroyup in bed. I just got comfy, wrapping my right leg around my body pillow and my hand resting on Chris’s chest after giving Kenz a kiss goodnight.
It wasn’t two minutes later, and both of our phones went off with the motion alert.
Chris said, reaching for his phone to look, “What now!? It better not be another cobweb!”
I just ignored it, figuring it was nothing.
“Holy crap!” Chris yelled. “The bear is on our front porch!”
“WHATTTT!? Are you serious!?” I said as Kenzy shot out of the recliner to come over and look on the phone with us.
Sure enough, there was a bear. He was leaning his paws up against our porch deck post, trying to reach our bird feeder. He was determined to get it. Kenzy and I ran downstairs, but there was no way I was opening the front door with just me and a screen in between us. I could hear him out there, which kind of gave me the heebie-jeebies. I flipped on the front porch light as Kenzy was looking out our bay window. Chris yelled down, “That scared him away!” Kenz went to grab the spotlight because she was determined to see where he went. She couldn’t find him shining through the window. Chris said he ran right out back to our second camera and then was gone. When I went back upstairs, he asked me if
I grabbed the bird feeder off the front porch. I said, “Ummmm, heck no! Are you crazy!? I am not going anywhere outside. I don’t know where the little bugger went. Plus, you just wanted your daughter to go out and get the cobweb off the camera, and ten minutes later, a bear is on our front porch!!”
It’s pitch-black outside around our house at night. No way I am stepping outside, knowing he could be lurking right around the corner, probably mad that I scared him off the front porch from getting a midnight snack.
But I do have to say that I was really proud of how well I handled it, and even more proud that my kids have no fear of bears. This was always a fear of mine that I never wanted to pass on to my kids.
Tyler’s first day of hunting with my dad, he
literally had a black bear walk right by his tree stand that sits on the ground. The bear had no clue Ty was there, and he was taking video on his phone. You can hear Ty as the bear kept getting closer whispering, “Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Holy crap.”
I WOULD HAVE DIED. The video gives me those heebie-jeebies! It is insane how close this bear got. The video is wild! Tyler really kept his cool.
Let me also say that he was in this stand — alone, with no gun. It was his first day, and my dad was teaching him the ropes. He was close by in another stand. He wasn’t ready for a gun yet. Little did he know that a bear and deer would be near his stand that close that day. A day he will never forget. I hon-
See COOKIN on Page 26
estly didn’t believe him when he told me. I figured he was pulling my leg!
He texted me: Mom, a bear just walked right by the door of my tree stand!!
I texted back: Pics, or it didn’t happen. The video came in minutes later.
First day of hunting!? Are you serious!? Way too close for comfort.
And too close for comfort on our front porch, three times now! We found out that the bear on our front porch is NOT Big Jeff. This bear was much smaller and didn’t have mange. This was the bear our neighbor Mr. Schneider was telling me about. So now we know we have two bears running around the neighborhood.
A week later, another friend of ours whose dad lives near us up on the hill messaged me on Facebook. “Hey Andrea, I just want to let you know and show you pictures that Big Jeff has a big daddy. He is up on the hill right now at Dad’s.”
The pictures of this bear were hilarious because they showed his very large body drinking out of a very large tub of water. The following picture is of him taking a bath in the tub! These bears around here, I tell you what, they are mischievous! We have yet to see the big daddy of daddies, but we are keeping our eyes peeled. I just can’t believe the bear around here lately. It’s wild. I know we live in PA, and they are around, of course. But to see them the way we have been seeing them is out of the ordinary. I am glad my fear isn’t as bad as it used to be, or I’d want to move! *enter cheesy smile here*
I love our house too much to move. The bear can stay — just off our front porch. *It’s strawberry season!!*

ose are the stats on the central chase in George Miller’s Furiosa; and the lm is worth seeing for that alone.
Happily, it has lots of other great stu , too.
Joseph W. Smith III
is h installment in the long-running Mad Max franchise opened in late May to lukewarm receipts — despite strong reviews from both critics and audiences. It’s a prequel to 2015’s Fury Road, which is considered by many — including your Webb Weekly critic — to be the single greatest action movie ever made.
Furiosa, giving back-story on the onearmed vixen played by Charlize eron in the earlier lm, is not quite that good. But it does stake out new territory, while also o ering plenty of the propulsive, nerve-rattling, innovative action for which Miller is so deservedly
well known.
What marks a step forward here is the stronger feel of mythology — with a make-shi chariot, competing city-states and references to both Hector’s corpse and the Trojan Horse. Even better, this h lm has — for my money anyway — a good deal more heart and soul than its predecessors.
And this in turn is due to the cast, highlighted by Anya Taylor-Joy in the lead, along with the magnetic Tom Burke as Praetorian Jack; and we mustn’t overlook the incredible Alyla Browne, who gets nearly half the movie to play a younger, resolute and very appealing Furiosa.
For those not familiar with the franchise, it’s set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where gas and food are hoarded and fought for with ruthless, existential ferocity — mostly involving souped-up cars and trucks chasing each other across the desert in a series of jarringly acrobatic pursuits, crashes and explosions.
While Miller has admitted that the chronology of the lms is somewhat loose, he and his co-writer Nico Lathouris reportedly spent 15 years writing Fury Road, including back-stories for all the characters — particularly Furiosa. Here, we learn that as a young girl, she was kidnapped from an Edenic enclave by an army of savage motorcyclists — led by the brutal and narcissistic Dementus (yes, Miller is great with these futuristic nicknames); that loveto-hate villain is played with surprising viciousness by the otherwise irresistibly charismatic Chris Hemsworth. A er a courageous attempt at rescue by Furiosa’s mother, the young lady becomes a pawn between three feuding city-states, and she spends the rest of the movie wishing to get home — while also seeking vengeance on the cruel, foolish and despotic Dementus. What fans love about Fury Road is that its spectacular action involves practical e ects, with very little computerized imagery. Miller and co. have gone more digital in Furiosa — but there’s still enough real and frighteningly authentic action to satisfy even the most die-hard fans (pun intended). at mid- lm chase, involving a colossal three-section truck and several ying
machines, is simply a masterpiece.
At the same time, Miller brews up a good deal of emotional resonance. Taylor-Joy radiates a seamless blend of woundedness and rage, while Burke is nearly as mesmerizing as young Mel Gibson in 1981’s amazing Mad Max 2 (aka, e Road Warrior).
With Browne’s remarkably frail-butsturdy young lady and a low-key romance between Jack and the older Furiosa, this movie really binds us to the characters and their odyssey. Indeed, this strong emotional undertow is a potent reminder that Miller also wrote and-or directed Lorenzo’s Oil, Babe and the animated Happy Feet.
I should warn readers that there’s strong violence in Furiosa — which is kind of a Miller trademark. Yet it’s also worth noting that he o en chooses to turn away at key moments — or at least, not to actually show the worst.
Currently underperforming at the box o ce, Furiosa will be hard-pressed to recoup its he y $168 million budget. But I plan to do my part by seeing it again soon.
As with Fury Road, its intricate action and densely textured world-building are too much to take in with a single viewing.

Along, hot soak in the tub may seem like the last thing you’d want to do on a sticky day, but baths have long been a part of well-established self-care routines. It may seem luxurious or overindulgent, but a good soak has more legitimate health bene ts than you might realize. Baths aren’t just about getting clean; they are also a simple practice for decompression and physical wellness. Here are a few reasons to consider a case for baths.
Bernadette Ulsamer
First up, stress reduction. Taking a bath to relieve stress doesn’t just have a mental connection; there’s a physical one as well.
Suppose you’re in a state of stress or anxiety. In that case, your cortisol levels are likely to be elevated, causing disruptions to your sleep patterns and negatively a ecting everything from skin to digestion. A hot bath will raise your body temperature, which will kick start the body’s circadian rhythm and help reduce cortisol. e less cortisol in your body, the less stress you have. And taking a bath at night can
contribute to better sleep as your circadian rhythm regulates.
In addition to lowering cortisol, a warm bath can calm the nervous system by encouraging the body to release neurotransmitters like serotonin. While the body releases serotonin, the skin releases endorphins in response to the soothing warm water. e same way endorphins are released when you feel the sun on your skin.
Bathing is also believed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for helping you feel calmer and more relaxed.
A bath is a relaxing moment for your mind and a full-body heat treatment that can help with a variety of physical ailments.
A hot bath causes blood vessels to expand, which increases blood ow to your muscles, helping them relax. e heat of the water is also important for increasing the exibility of collagen bers to help reduce joint sti ness. Boosted blood ow will also support better heart health.
e impact of a warm bath isn’t lim-
ited to sore muscles or aching limbs; it can also improve lung function. An improvement in blood flow means that oxygen can flow more freely through the body, which helps increase lung capacity so we can breathe deeply and more easily.
Also, for colds, the steam produced by warm water can lessen the snottiness by freeing up the nasal passage to clear the chest and sinuses. A warm bath is an easy at-home remedy and a particularly good habit for asthmatics.
Even if you aren’t sick, you can keep up your good health with a warm bath. An increase in body temperature helps the body fight off infection. Regular
hot soaks produce more white blood cells, which are crucial for our body’s immune defense. Pouring in some germ-fighting essential oils like eucalyptus, rosemary, and peppermint can further boost a bath’s potency and scent the water beautifully. You can take a functional approach to bathing, or a ritualistic one with some candles and crystals, but the benefits are all the same. From stress reduction to soothing inflammation, to help with breathing, to immunity support, with or without bubbles, a warm un-rushed bath is a mostly free and easy means for supporting our minds and bodies. Case closed.
Who is God to you?
That’s a big question, and I understand the temptation to stop reading right there. It’s possible you believe that God is nothing — that He doesn’t even exist. Well, you can hold on to that belief all you want, but you and I both know it takes a lot of mental and emotional energy to reject the obvious.
Can someone reject the obvious?
Yes, but doing so is hard. For example, The earth is obviously round. Flat-earthers believe the earth is flat. They are free to believe as they wish, but doing so requires creating and sustaining an alternate explanation of an obvious reality. It’s crazy how hard people are willing to work to defend their belief that the earth is flat. But here’s the thing: The earth is round, so believing it is round is easier. That’s the point I’m making. You’re free to

Tim Hartzell
reject the existence of God, but doing so makes life much harder. Who is it you instinctively talk to (pray to) when something really hard or really bad is on the horizon? Who is it you turn to for comfort when your world is rocked by crisis or tragedy? Who do you blame when life seems terri-
bly unfair? Are you willing to admit your instinctive desire to reach out for God?
You may not want to admit your belief in God to others, but at least be honest with yourself. The decision about God’s existence is yours to make, but just remember that Hartzell warned you that rejecting the obvious makes life hard.
If you’re still reading and you’re willing to acknowledge that God exists, then let’s figure out who God is to you. Do you see him as a generous Santa

Claus who wants to give you everything on your wish list? A lot of people see God this way. ey acknowledge Him only when they want something from Him.
Do you see Him as a sweet old grandpa who is out-of-touch and old-fashioned but so endearing that you just love having Him around and available — especially when you need to feel centered, comforted, directed, and wise?
Do you see Him as a grumpy old man who is just waiting for you to do
something wrong so He can whack you on the head — like you’re His favorite target in a cosmic game of whack-a-mole?
You’re still reading. Congratulations. Some people aren’t willing to be challenged on this topic. e fact that you’re still here says a lot about your openness and curiosity. Since you’ve come this far, I encourage you to go a little further.

of God, just like there is a bit of truth in the earth being at. Yes, when I look out the window, the earth looks at, but just because it looks at doesn’t mean it is at. e view of the earth from my window is very limited. To see the earth as round, I need to gain a much greater perspective. e same is true with understanding God.
is I can tell you with certainty: God is for you — and every action He
has taken for you is driven by three things: (1) His unconditional love for you, (2) His desire to be with you forever, and (3) the divine purposes for which He created you.
Regarding His love for you, Paul had this to say in Romans 8:31-32, “If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
God isn’t Santa Claus. His giving isn’t based on naughty and nice lists. He has given to all of us the good, the bad, and the ugly, the highest and greatest gift He could offer — the life of His one and only Son. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done; God is for you.
God isn’t a grandfather because He has no grandchildren. Through Jesus Christ, all of us are given the opportunity to be his child and to call Him Father. When Jesus taught us how to pray, He started the prayer with “Our
Father, Who art in heaven … ” Do you see it? God is for you. While God isn’t a grandfather, He certainly offers comfort and, counsel, wisdom, and guidance. He is always with us, always ready to hear us, always ready to meet our needs. In Philippians 4:19, Paul declares, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” (Be careful with this one. His understanding of your needs and your understanding of your needs may not line up. He knows what you
need better than you do because He made you. Rest assured, if you follow Him, you will always have what He knows you need. Why? Because God is for you.)
God isn’t a cosmic whack-a-mole gamer. He doesn’t take pleasure in punishing you or causing you pain. Actually, He is just the opposite. He has done all that is necessary for you to be forgiven and fully restored in your relationship with Him. In II Peter 3:9, we read, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some
understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
Graduate, God is for you. We pray that you will always know His love and that you will pursue with all of your might the purposes for which He created you. When you do, you will have life to the full. Jesus said in John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
This Sunday, June 9, a historical marker authorized by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission will be dedicated at Way’s Garden to honor the late, distinguished local artist Frances Tipton Hunter. e

great cities of this country or Europe, but her works endure as heartwarming celebrations of children and their world. Her art is sure to produce a smile and evoke a carefree sense of nostalgia.
She was born in Howard, Centre County, on September 1, 1896, a descendant of Pennsylvania’s earliest settlers.
When Frances was six, her mother died, and she moved to Williamsport to live with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Edward McEntire.
She showed an early interest in art.
She illustrated her early letters with drawings. She later explained, “ is is a perfectly natural thing, for the rst impulse is to express oneself, and the easiest way for a child to do this is by pictures.”
At Williamsport High School, she played on the girls’ basketball team and was a sta member for Cherry and White, the school’s literary magazine. She designed the cover of the last issue, 1914, the year she graduated. Surviving copies of this are highly sought a er.
She modestly recalled her days at
Williamsport High School: “I distinguished myself by contributing some pretty bad drawings to the Cherry and White and playing unspectacular basketball.”
In 1915, she wrote an essay for the Grit. It probably best expresses her philosophy of art and why she liked painting children so much, “Personally, I prefer pictures of living, breathing creatures because they are God’s greatest creations. Again, I think to show by means of bare canvas and crude paints the life, character mood and even the thoughts of men is the
highest type of art.”
A er graduating high school, she attended the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Arts, where she graduated with honors under the tutelage of the noted illustrator ornton Oakley. She later studied at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. She received her rst professional recognition as an artist a er winning a $500 Wannamaker Prize. at led her to do illustrations for Wannamaker’s clothing ads, particularly

children’s clothing.
She said that she had a special interest in drawing children and, as a result, “watched them closely.”
Her illustrations graced the covers of many nationally prominent magazines, such as Collier’s, Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal, Look, Red Book, and e Saturday Evening Post (the same magazine for which Norman Rockwell had numerous cover paintings).
She worked mostly in watercolor and pen and ink. Her oil works were unsigned and never sold.
She was named to “Who’s Who In American Art” in 1938 in recognition of her extensive and well-received children’s illustrations.
She illustrated two books, e Frances Tipton Hunter Picture Book and Boo, Who Used To Be Afraid of the Dark.
Her work has been compared favorably to that of artistic luminaries such as Max eld Parrish, Douglas Crockwell, Paul Dentlef, and, of course, Norman Rockwell.
Several of her works are displayed in the Children’s Room of the James V. Brown Library.
During Williamsport’s Sesquicentennial Celebration in 1956, she was honored as “a daughter of Williamsport.”
She died in Philadelphia on March 2, 1957, at the age of 61, and was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery in that city. e Sun-Gazette memorialized her in an editorial on March 5, 1957, writing in part, “Williamsport has lost one of its most gi ed daughters in the death of Frances Tipton Hunter, an artist and illustrator of national reputation. Her warm human-interest pictures — especially those of children and pet animals endeared her to a national audience. Few persons from this community have gained greater national prominence than she enjoyed, and few treasured their recollections of childhood and youth in this city more dearly than she.”
She is truly an artist worthy of honor.

On Sunday, June 16, fathers everywhere will get to be revered by friends and family as we show our Dad, our Pop, our Father how special we really think he is. With a little over a week to go, there is plenty of time for shopping and planning to make this Father’s Day especially memorable for the father in your life. If he is an outdoor enthusiast, there are so many gadgets and so much gear that are available, no matter what the speci c sport or activity he enjoys.
For a father or husband who is into shooting sports, be it a handgun, ri e, or shotgun, a trip to the local sporting goods store will allow you to pick out a huge array of items that will t any budget. A box or two of shells for his favorite rearm, some gun cleaning supplies, or the actual purchase of that latest gun that he has been wanting will make him happy.
If he is a hunter, focus on whatever game he likes to pursue. For turkey hunters, there is a limitless supply of gear and gadgets to help them be successful on their next turkey outing. From box calls, slate calls, and mouth calls to special turkey loads for his favorite shotgun and even an upgrade of his camou age out t or turkey vest, there is a wide variety of items that will be appreciated. e same is true of those men who like to hunt pheasants, grouses, squirrels, deer,
or bears — there is a lot of “stu ” available that is useful for their hunts.
If you are trying to make a sherman happy, particularly a y sherman, you are really in luck. ere is probably no other outdoor pursuit with more gear and gadgets available to up the game than y shing! Dry ies, wet ies, streamers, and nymphs, along with a multitude of y lines, leaders, and equipment ranging from a few dollars to the-sky’s-the-limit, can be purchased at most nearby sporting goods stores.
If you want to give a gi that keeps on giving, consider signing Dad up to join an organization that supports one of his favorite activities. e membership generally includes a monthly magazine so that he will be reminded month a er month of your thoughtfulness. ere is the NWTF (National Wild Turkey Federation), TU (Trout Unlimited), or NRA (National Ri e Association), as well as many other great organizations that support any of his interests. For those of you who are still uncertain as to what to get, there is always the go-to gi certi cate. It works great if you want Dad to have the nal say on what color, shape, or size of an item he might want, and any area sporting goods store will be happy to issue a certi cate for Dad that will t your budget. But, in the end, there is ONE thing that you can give him that will impress him the most. Sure, shopping for a gadget or some gear, wrapping it nicely, and watching him
open it on Sunday is nice, but it doesn’t come close to what I am about to suggest. What is the single most valuable item or “thing” that we have? at anyone has, really? Is it our expensive automobile or truck? Or is it our home? Actually, it is neither of those nor any possessions you may have. It is our time. Time is a nite quantity that once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. You cannot replace a minute of time like you can replace almost any possession you may have. So why not consider giving Dad some of your most valuable possessions — your time?
How nice would it be to x your Dad’s favorite breakfast and then go on a hike together? Or, pack a lunch and go for a walk along his favorite shing stream, sit for a
while, and have some great deep conversations — talking about the things that are important to him, things you rarely take the time to discuss. Perhaps cook his favorite meal for him on a grill or over an open wood re, and then spend time visiting and reminiscing about some of your favorite memories of times you have shared during hunting or shing outings. Sharing your time would be the most appreciated and memorable thing you could do as you both re ect back in the years to come on the quality time you shared on his special day. Gi s, gear, and gadgets are nice and will be appreciated, but spending time together and creating a wonderful memory together is really the best thing you could give a father on Father’s Day.
The various fishing seasons are all pretty much underway, and you know summer has arrived when you have to cut the grass twice a week, and you can pursue some serious bass fishing.
April 13 through June 7, bass fishing is catch and release only, and from June 8 through September 30, you are allowed to keep a total of four bass of at least 12 inches.
Also, be aware that you are not permitted to target bass spawning beds. There are some special regulation areas, including one on the Susquehanna River and some other locations, so check your regulation booklet before going out. I personally don’t ever keep any bass — I’d rather catch them than eat them.
Speaking of catching bass, one of my favorite bass-catching tactics is to fish surface lures, and that’s for both smallmouths and largemouths.
If I’m after smallmouths around here, I’ll tend to target the Susquehanna River and our larger streams since smallmouths prefer slightly cooler temperatures and are more prevalent in moving water. Smallmouths prefer temperatures in the upper 60s, while largemouths prefer slightly warmer water with temps in the mid-70s, and they are more likely to be in lakes or ponds. Smallmouths tend to relate more to clear
water, while largemouths seem to be quite comfortable in discolored or even brown water in lakes and ponds.
Whichever one you’re after, you will very likely find, however, that a topwater presentation will often put a bend in your rod. That’s not to say that other presentations won’t produce — they will, but fishing top water lures is an exciting way to hook a bass. Seeing that big splash on the surface and then setting the hook and feeling that heavy throb in your rod puts a smile on your face in a hurry.
You can successfully fish for bass on the surface using a variety of lures and all three rod and reel combinations, including openfaced spinning outfits, bait-casting rigs, and even fly rods.
If I’m on a lake fishing for largemouths, I often go to a bait-casting outfit since it will handle heavier lines better, and if I’m fishing near lily pads, weeds, or wood, I want that stronger line. Any number of artificial plugs will be produced, including a Jitterbug and other crawler-type lures.
Other good choices are chuggers, stick baits, and prop-baits. Prop-baits with the little prop at the back and sometimes in the front as well are some of my favorite surface lures. I also like “walking the dog” with a stick bait; you impart a zigzag action to the lure by twitching it in opposite directions.
If I’m on the river for smallmouths, I often go with an open-faced spinning rig with about a six to eight-pound test line. ere is usually less cover to deal with, so the lighter out t usually su ces.
All the same surface lures I use for largemouths I will also use for my smallmouth shing.
One additional lure I like for smallmouths is the oating minnow plug like the Rebel or Rapala. I will cast the plug and then let it sit until the disturbance dissipates, and then I will retrieve it with a little wiggle rst like a dying, struggling minnow, and then a short retrieve.
Don’t neglect your yrod when it comes to taking bass; it works for both largemouths and smallmouths. I like using poppers;
white has been one of my most successful patterns.
If I’m shing a lake or pond for largemouths, I sometimes go to a weedless lure.
If I’m on a stream or river a er smallmouths, I’ll sh the lower ats of a pool and along shaded shorelines with deeper water, but don’t neglect the moving water either.
Some of my best actions on a yrod and popper are working a popper with short bursts of water in front of it as I bring it through moving water. is can be especially e ective if you bring the lure past some sort of structure that creates a lull in the water.
Well, if the surface approach doesn’t produce, there are a whole lot of other options that we will look at in the days to come.
Memorial Day is one of those holidays that ‘gets to me.’ Coming from a family with a military background and re ecting upon my own time in the service makes this well-deserved time of remembrance something I nd very moving.
But as the calendar evoked last week’s annual tribute, my re ections about the military became shared with events emanating from Indianapolis. During my 17-year tenure on the sta of Little League Baseball, 14 of them served as the organization’s Central Region Director and the Indiana capital city served as sort of a ‘second home.’
Headquarters in the city. Heavyweights were engaged in these negotiations, and as Central Region Director, I was along for the ride. e Regional Headquarters became a reality, creating both a highlight and, ultimately, an end to my tenure with the organization, but that is a whole other story too detailed to include on these pages.
During the mid-1980s, Indianapolis Mayor William Hudnut embarked on a revitalization plan to reshape the city from “India-NO-place” to “India-SHOW-place.” e centerpiece of his plan was to make Indianapolis the amateur sports capital of the United States. He held meetings to convince several amateur organizations to relocate, including the NCAA. One of his most successful (or infamous, if you lived in Baltimore) was the relocation of the Baltimore Colts in 1984.
At the height of this activity, Little League Baseball met with Hudnut to explore the potential of creating a Central Regional
But Indianapolis was a thriving, fun place to be. Sports were booming, the Colts, the Pacers, the hotbed for high school and college basketball, chairs hanging from the agpoles of residential homes in tribute to Indiana University coach Bobby Knight’s infamous chair-throwing incident, and an opportunity to attend the premier showing of the movie Hoosiers in 1986.
Above all, Indianapolis has long been known as the home of the Indianapolis 500. I know little about racing but was thrilled to receive an invitation to attend the race years ago. At the time, it wasn’t on my bucket list, but once there, it has captivated my attention ever since.
Looking back, we were a bit spoiled as we had seats about 20 yards from the start/ nish line, een rows from the track. e experience was awe-inspiring. ree hundred thousand celebrating fans in one spot made for some interesting sights, especially in the in eld. e pageantry was
spectacular, and to this day, I still make it a point to tune in and take it all in. e National Anthem, singing of Back Home Again in Indiana, the anticipated call of ‘drivers, start your engines’ all set the stage. But when those eleven rows of 33 cars go roaring past you, the sound is deafening, making the hair on your arms stand at attention.
With rain pouring down at this year’s Indy, causing a four-hour delay, I had time to complete yard work before settling in front of the TV for my annual memorable ashback.
e day before and a er the big race, my sports attention was once again in Indy for the NBA playo s. A fan of the Boston Celtics since childhood, the boys in green were taking on the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. e importance of basketball in Indiana was on full display. e fans were loud and the games intense as the Celtics twice rallied from big second-half de cits to complete a 4-0 series sweep and head to the NBA Finals, which begin this ursday.
Sports notoriety has long been an Indianapolis staple. But the bright lights of attention have shown even brighter with the arrival of Caitlin Clark to Circle City. Unless you’ve been pulling a Rip Van Winkle, Clark’s transformation as college basketball’s most heralded player to a targeted rookie in the WNBA has made daily headlines.
It’s akin to a fairy tale. A small-town Midwest girl grows up with basketball talent, achieving milestones along the way. She
chooses to attend college two hours from home, leads her team to two NCAA Final Fours, is selected as the player of the year, and becomes the number one pick of the WNBA dra by the Midwest team closest to her home, the Indiana Fever.
But paraphrasing Dorothy’s comments in e Wizard of Oz, Clark is not in Kansas (in this case, Iowa) anymore! She is now performing on the biggest stage in women’s basketball, and the shots she is taking are not only coming from opponents on the court. She’s become a target of bigoted social media hate-mongers. Some suggest that the fame and accomplishments coming her way are only because she is white and straight as if that is something bad.
Despite her talents, Clark is a rookie facing a new challenge, but Fever fans are glad she’s in town.
LeBron James, known for saying many things, chimed in on Clark.
“ e thing I love she’s bringing to the sport; more people want to watch, more people want to tune in. Caitlin Clark is the reason why a lot of great things are going to happen for the WNBA.”
Fever teammates are well aware of the talents the golden egg in their midst brings to their team.
“She’s a great passer,” Fever center Temi Fagbenle told the media. “I’ve only seen a few of those kind of point guards, who just know. She sees the play before it’s happened.”
Sports-wise, I developed a case of Indiana fever decades ago. Now Clark and her Fever teammates are in ecting others!
Hats off to my friends at the Lycoming Creek Anglers. I give them a lot of credit. These guys and gals make our fishing experiences much more splendid. This spring has been fantastic. Yes. We battled some rain and high waters, but I am still ecstatic. I snuck out for several casts the past few days and landed many beauties. The bugs are hatching. I reached out to my chums and gave them some thank yous.
ing. Beautiful trout. Awesome coloring. Many of the holdovers are absolutely stunning. A new feed has changed the game completely. This year’s crop is rather impressive. I have caught many fish this spring, and they look like they came from the mountains of Montana.
“We started stocking April 27th,” Secretary Walt Winters explained. “Then we gathered every Saturday morning, with May 25th being our last. I’m thinking 4,000 trout were put into Lycoming. Rock Run, Pleasant Stream, and Roaring Branch got an additional 2,500. We also helped the state with many of their local stockings.”
I still can’t believe the quality and size of the fish my friends are grow-
“We are a small group,” Walt added. “A nonprofit organization. We are always looking for help and new members. I am extremely thankful for those who lend a hand. Raising and stocking trout is not an easy task. It takes time, money, and lots of commitments. We truly appreciate our club and thank the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat for their support as well.”
One of their biggest events is approaching. The Annual Lycoming Creek Children’s Fishing Derby attracts hundreds of kids from all over the region. Jensen and I look forward to this special day every season. It
is an all-day shing extravaganza. Tons of wonderful prizes for every youngster. is year’s derby is slated for Saturday, June 8th, at the Squarewood Acres Campground. It is located just seven miles north of Trout Run on Route 14. Look for signs by the Marsh Hill Bridge — same spot as previous years.
Boys and girls aged 3 to 13 are invited. Again, everyone is a winner. Registration starts at 8:30 a.m. for the 3-4-year-olds, 10:00 a.m. for the 5-6-year-olds, 11:30 a.m. for the 7 through 9s, and 1:00 p.m. for the 10-13-year-olds. Each grouping will sh for an hour a er their registration.
“We are hoping for another big turnout,” Walt concluded. “ e Fishing Derby is always a blast. We plan to stock 500 sh rst thing that morning. en we put in another 400 trout in the creek around lunch. is is our way of giving back to our great community. Seeing the faces and smiles of these youngsters when they catch a trout is my absolute favorite.” I agree. Hopefully, you all can make it to the derby. Cheers.
