An American Legend That Led by Example

It’s not about the color of a man’s skin; it’s about the person within. These are words I strongly believe in. During my lifetime, the one place I’ve found the best example of this is on the athletic field and within those that support sports.

In our great nation, athletics, competition, and the passion of the people who watch the games seem to produce unity. With the focus being placed on team success, you can look across the crowd at any ball game and see individuals from every walk of life. Believe me, I understand fans can get a little carried away, but this is usually a result of some type of division being created by losing or the placing of an individual’s priorities over the good of the team.

Last week, when the Say Hey Kid became the late great Willie Mays, the outpouring of love and support for this American icon was astounding. It was a celebration of a lifetime of achievement on and off the baseball diamond. Timing is everything at the plate and in life, and Willie Mays exemplified this.

His passing was just prior to Major League Baseball’s tribute to the Negro

Leagues. This took place at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, which is America’s oldest ballpark that featured some of our nation’s greatest ball players prior to when they could participate in Major League Baseball. This year’s celebration was to honor Willie Mays along with remembering the impact the league had not just on baseball but on our nation.

I share something with Willie Mays that not many baseball fans do we both have the same birthday, May 6th. Even though he was much older before I got that first baseball card featuring him at Woolworth’s downtown, I was well aware of this fact. I wish that card was still in my possession; however, I found the exact same card and purchased a replacement a few years back. That sharing of May 6th bonded us, and I have followed him since I was eight years old.

The one thing that always amazed me was the impact he had on people he met and people like me who never shook hands with him. Again, timing being everything, he was able to share his love of baseball and of people playing with folks first in Birmingham, Alabama, then in New York City before his days in San

Webb Jr.

Francisco. He grew from the Say Hey Kid into one of the most admired and loved individuals by his peers who played not only with him but before him and long after him.

The respect he earned came from being a 24time All-Star, 12-time gold glover, and arguably the best player ever. He could do anything on the baseball field and make it look easy; he posted many numbers that will never be seen again. This was accomplished by playing every day and not taking games off like the players of today. He was also blessed with amazing talent and worked hard. Along the way, he served two years in the Army and never missed a beat. I should add that he was also awarded a President’s Medal of Freedom.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the play he made in the Polo Grounds that became known as The Catch and probably is the most replayed highlight in baseball history. It has to be between that and Bobby Thomson’s Shot Heard Round the World.

I’d better stop there and move on to South Head coach Tom O’Malley, where I left off last week. I wonder if Tom’s path ever crossed with Willie Mays during his playing days in New York or San Francisco? I will have to find out from my Little League World Series writings.

A tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to the South Williamsport Lady Mountie Softballers. What a fantastic season as they made it all the way to Penn State’s Beard Field and the PIAA State Championship game. The girls may not have returned home with the gold medals, but they represented the school with class and fought hard to the very last out.

Only one team can finish the year with a celebratory dogpile, and this year, it was Neshannock from the powerful WPIAL Conference in Western Pennsylvania. The Lancers had more experience and had been there before. The Lady Mountaineers gained that valuable experience this year and return almost everyone for next season.

I will let Scott Lowery give you all the details and share a picture of Tom O’Malley’s 2024 PIAA 2A runner-up squad on page 40.

You’re in pretty good company when you get mentioned in any column alongside side Willie Mays.

I’ll finish this week with a drum roll please, and the winner of our Great American Cookout Giveaway. Thank you to everyone who entered.

Wait a moment. I’m out of space for the week, so I’m going to keep you in suspense and make you flip over to editor Steph’s page to see if you’re the winner. Let’s all be safe out there.

God Bless America

Winner, Winner And a Grilled Pork Chop Dinner

It’s almost time for the Fourth of July, but before we get there, you know what time it is right?

It’s time to announce the winner of our Great American Cookout Giveaway! We had almost 700 entries and…

*Drum Roll Please*

Congratulations to LAURA SHOOK of South Williamsport! Laura is getting all set up with a new grill courtesy of Elery Nau Hardware; she’ll also have everything she needs for a Fourth of July BBQ with a gift card to Rupert’s Specialty Meats and another to Frosty Beverage. What more could a person need to celebrate Independence Day? Well, I guess the only other thing would be to have all this stuff delivered to your doorstep and Jimmy and Charlie are going to take care of that too!

I have to give an extra shout out to Paul from Elery Nau, Mike from Rupert’s and of course Chet from Frosty Beverage! They are always down to help support these contests and we are very much appreciative of that support. Jimmy absolutely loves to give stuff away, and these three always

make it as easy as possible!

Much like how you should never return a plate or dish empty, I think it’s polite to send our Great American Cookout Giveaway winner off with a recipe to try on their new grill.

Steph Nordstrom

These grilled pork chops are soaked in a flavorful marinade, then cooked to golden brown perfection. A quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for any BBQ or summer gathering!

Grilled Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops bone in, or boneless

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 teaspoons lemon zest

• 2 teaspoons parsley leaves chopped, plus more for garnish

• 2 teaspoons thyme leaves chopped

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

• 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions:

Place the pork chops in a bowl or resealable gallon sized bag.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic. Pour the marinade over the meat. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium heat.

Place the pork on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop registers 145 degrees F.

Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then serve. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.

Muncy Fourth Friday Activities

This Friday, June 28

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Family-friendly activities, food and craft vendors, musical entertainment of various kinds, and good fellowship are all hallmarks of Muncy’s “Fourth Friday” activities, which take place monthly at the Today Farm, the former Tom Styer’s farm in Muncy.

Ann Baker was one of the organizers and has been involved with the event since it began 15 years ago.

“It started as a street art fair and gradually became a huge block party. It was hosted by the Muncy Professional and Business Association. The events were held in June, July, and August and had 50-plus vendors/crafters, food trucks, kids’ activities, and contests, Baker told Webb Weekly.

“The committee added contests for the attendees, such as pie eating contests, watermelon eating contests, and one of our favorites, corn shucking. We never

had a problem getting participants. One of my greatest memories is watching Kirsten Minier shuck corn like a pro corn shucker. She was champion for many years. After the corn was shucked, we would cook it up and give it away to all the attendees.”

Baker said what made the event so special was their support for the local non-profits. Each month, they would pick a non-profit, highlight it, and donate proceeds to it. Some of these were the Muncy Volunteer Fire Department, Muncy Pool, Sonlight House, and Muncy Library, to name a few.

The family-friendly event had

something for everyone, and thousands of people would line Main Street. Things changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the pandemic, the organizers decided to transition the Fourth Fridays to the newly formed Downtown Muncy Inc.

Due to road closure restrictions, etc., they moved the June 2023 Fourth Friday to the old carnival grounds behind Basil Restaurant. It was a huge success and added a little more for the people attending by using the old stage for the bands to play.

“In July of 2023, there was now a new challenge for us as we needed to find a

place to have the events because of

to the property.”

By pure chance, Baker sent a request to Josh at Today Farm and asked if the event could be held at his farm. He was hesitant, but she told him she believed it would attract lots of people to the farm to see what he was doing with what we all knew for years as the Tom Styer Farm. So, he agreed.

The event in July 2023 was one of the biggest Fourth Fridays they had ever had, and now this already wonderful family event has added an even safer space for kids to play and families to hang out, even with their fur babies. Farm and agriculture were added as they offered hayrides, photos with farm animals, and feeding chickens and goats. They have a farmer’s market that offers homegrown items and teachings such as honey making.

She said they were able to add more vendors and food trucks because the Bullfrog Brewery from Williamsport partnered with Today Farm to open a second location and offer microbrew in the Bullfrog Pub.

She said it takes a lot of work to plan and organize these events, and many people are needed to help make them a success.

Baker stated that Today Farm has many farm-related events and has a full-time event coordinator. So, when Baker and her daughter, who had been organizing

these events for over 12 years, decided they needed more help, the most logical thing to do was ask the farm if they would like to take them over. They were honored, and organizers started to transition everything to them.

“It is such an honor to have organized these events. The number of relationships that were formed and memories will forever be in my heart,” said Baker. “The partnership and friendship that I have found in Today Farm and Bullfrog Brewery is not only one I treasure but I also value the possibilities and wonderful familyfriendly events that support our state’s agricultural tourism and highlights our farmland and Muncy area. I would also like to say that Sandy Putney, Linda Stein, and Kim Wetherhold, the organizers prior to me and Marrissa Baker, I appreciate you for the initial vision you had and for supporting me for so long.”

Baker continued, “My last 12 years have been so amazing, and I am so excited to see all that Josh, Barb, Steve, Alisha, Birch, Curt, Courtney, Brandon, Scottie, and the entire staff do with continuing this tradition. “

Muncy’s Fourth Fridays this year are June 28th, July 26th, and August 23rd, from 6 to 9. Location Today Farm is 215 Shady Lane, Muncy, PA 17756. Email Barb@todayfarm.net if you are interested in participating as a vendor.

I could not hear in my left ear and it felt like I had water stuck in my right ear. I tried many things at home and nothing seemed to work until I went to see Jen at Artisan Hearing Technologies. She offered a quick and painless way to remove my earwax, and now I can hear! Thank you Jen!

West End Christian Community Center Serves Newberry and Beyond

Prior to coming to the West End Christian Community Center (WCCC), Pastor Calvin Philips had been a pastor in the region for over 15 years, and until he was hired by the Board of Directors, he had no idea the WCCC even existed. That reality highlighted what needed to be addressed immediately, and for the past seven years, he has been letting the community know what their mission is and that they are here to serve. “Your dignity is far too great a price to pay to get help, so what each of the incredible volunteers that serve here strive to ensure is the true sense of family,” said Pastor Philips. “We give a hand up and not necessarily a handout, so we become creative in finding ways to walk beside those that come through our doors not just by addressing an immediate need but by finding solutions to their problems and needs.” Pastor Philips went on to say that the WCCC works daily to establish and maintain relationships with outside agencies so that instead of just telling someone about their resources they will facilitate a direct connection.

who I am today, that community felt a strong sense of responsibility to make sure I had every chance to succeed. I am afraid that we have lost that connection with one another. When you walk through our door, you are a part of a much larger WCCC family.”

Geographically, the WCCC serves the greater Lycoming County area and is located in the Newberry section of Williamsport at 901 Diamond Street. They strive to offer a single point from which families or individuals in need can come and find either resources or a partner that will walk with them to find those resources.

“It boils down to this,” said Pastor Philips, “When I grew up in the tiny town of Marsh Hill, about 30 miles north of here, the family takes care of family, and the community as a whole was considered family. As I became

The WCCC is housed in what had historically been the Newberry United Methodist Church. After the Newberry UMC congregation merged with St. John’s United Methodist Church, the then vacant structure, through the hard work and dedication of a handful of individuals, was transformed. The original outreach of St. John’s Newberry United Methodist Church was a Clothes Closet and Thrift Shop. Amazingly, the WCCC has evolved into what we see now, offering 23 different programs.

There are four cornerstone programs at the WCCC. The first is their S&K Café, which

serves a restaurant quality lunch four days a week. They average 130 meals per day and now that summer has arrived, they will be serving an additional 35 children each day. These meals are available four days a week from 11:00am-12:30pm at no cost.

The next program, and largest by far, is Feeding Our Children United Serving Each with Dignity or FOCUSED. They provide school-aged children with a breakfast item, canned lunch entree, snacks, a treat, and a beverage to take home each Friday. Through this one program, they are providing over 1,200 children each week with food to help them get through the weekend. “From the program director to those that keep the area clean, all FOCUSED staff are volunteers,” said Pastor Philips. FOCUSED volunteers order, unload, store, pack, and deliver 1,200 bags weekly, totaling nearly 42,000 bags during the school year and approximately 500 during the summer for the various schools in the Williamsport School District.

The third main program is Clothes Closet & Thrift Shop. WCCC staff accept donated items and screen them to ensure that they are “gently used.” Often, they will find that the original price tags are still on them. They are then offered for sale at prices that average less than a dollar on clothing and household items that are priced well below yard sale prices. Often, the WCCC sees families that have lost everything through tragic circumstances or are just reentering the community and need the basics of life. They offer free books for the children and

occasionally some toys and baby furniture. They do not accept any household furniture due to storage space issues. If a person is unable to afford even these low prices, the WCCC offers coupons that they can use in the store for some purchases, covering any cost they might have.

Last but not least is the Shoe Express, which runs the first and third Saturday of each month from 10:00 am to noon. This program serves children from infants to 17 years old who are sized and given brand-new socks and new shoes. Younger children get four pairs a year while the older children get two pairs a year. All of the shoes are purchased as new and made available for each child.

“Many feel a call to serve,” said Pastor Philips, “so if someone would like to volunteer, I can assure you that there is a place here where you can employ your gifts. I must make the fact known that the WCCC is not a church. We do not hold weekly worship services here, and we develop programs and not ministries. There are absolutely no qualifiers to receive help.” The WCCC serves a diverse community comprised of a wide range of individuals who represent a myriad of cultures. They have removed any qualifiers for their programs and base their services upon need alone. Their programming is available to all who may need assistance without restriction.

County Hall Corner Uncle Sam Needs You!

By Larry Stout

t every Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting, Commissioner President Scott Metzger opens the meeting with a prayer. In the past few years, I have noted that, without fail, Metzger will always highlight in his prayers an anniversary of a military institution. At the ursday, June 13th meeting, he highlighted the 249th birthday of the United States Army, founded on June 14, 1775, our rst national militia. Four months later, on October 13th, the United States Navy was founded, and a month a er that, on November 10th, 1775, the United States Marine was founded. It was not a coincidence that the leaders of this new emerging country incorporated three military branches just one year before it claimed independence in 1776.

Any country of any signi cance has some sort of military to protect it. e world has always been a hostile place. In the past y years, there have been as many as 200 wars or con icts. Israel is a classic example. Since the rst day of their independence in 1948, they have been attacked by their neighboring countries. ere would not be an independent country of Israel today were it not for the fact that the Israeli military ranks 18th among 145 considered nations on a list of the world’s

mightiest armed forces according to the 2023 GlobalFirepower (GFP) index, which assesses over 60 factors such as active military personnel & equipment, artillery, tanks, etc. is does not come cheap, and it does not come easy. But in Israel’s case, it is necessary when attacked by a savage enemy such as Hamas that uses subterfuge to rape and kill innocent people.

Ironically, the USA ranks number one in the GFP index, even though there is not another country in the entire world that is more safe from other countries as the United States of America. Our country has an extremely unique geography with two large oceans on our east and west coasts and friendly countries on our northern and southern borders. As a result, our country has been very blessed with just three actual attacks of our country in the

past two centuries: the British in the War of 1812, the Japanese bombing in 1941 on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (a United States territory at the time), and the hijacked airlines that crashed in New York City, Washington DC, and Shanksville, PA on September 11, 2001.

So why are so many military personnel needed for our country’s defense? Why have so many Americans in uniform died or been wounded from wars with Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, North Korea, North Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc? Very simply, it was because these brave men and women who have taken up arms are the reason why our borders are safe. They are the reason we sleep soundly in our beds at night and do not hear sirens screaming at us to get out of our homes and find safe shelter. They are the reason that our economy can grow (if our government experts don’t screw it up, that is) because we can plan for the future without fear of threats from other nations.

And it is the unity of protection that has also kept this vast country that goes from sea to shining sea from becoming a hodgepodge of dozens of nations like Europe. An argument could be made that our military forces kept us together as much as our Constitution. Even the Civil War, which tore our country apart, showed us that zeal and passion can start a revolution, but in the end, the strongest army is what has the last word.

However, all that is in the past. All the

branches of service are struggling with meeting their enlistment quotas for the past few years, even with very, very nice incentives being offered. Ironically, the toughest branch - the United States Marines - is meeting their recruiting numbers. When Marine Corps Recruiting Command Maj. Gen. William J. Bowers was asked by a senate committee why this had happened; he replied, “Your Marine Corps exists to fight and win our nation’s battles. Our performance in recruiting speaks for us. Our combat heritage is embedded within Marine Corps Recruiting Command’s DNA; we share the same fierce competitive spirit to win, no matter the challenge.”

Would that our entire country would have that same spirit. We need young men and women willing to keep our country as the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is a great heritage to belong to, which I share with my father, my stepfather, my two brothers, my two sons, and my adopted daughter. For each of us, it started with raising our right hand and declaring, “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” And may God help us to see many more hands raised for our nation’s sake.

“Give Me Five – I’m Still Alive”: Grateful Dead Album Turns 50

The Guinness record for most live albums from a single artist is held by the Grateful Dead.

As of 2019, that figure stood at a whopping 167 — and many more have been released since then.

In part, this ongoing flood is due to the ensemble’s virtually nonstop touring over its threedecade tenure. (Indeed, remnants of the band, now called “The Dead,” are currently in the midst of a 30-show residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.)

his favorite bands.

Often called From the Mars Hotel — or even just Mars Hotel — the beautifully engineered album features some of the Dead’s finest songwriting. Running a sprightly 37 minutes, its eight tracks include five by the legendary team of guitarist Jerry Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter.

What’s more, the Dead allowed taping of their concerts — and their extensive organization continues to curate and release these recordings.

Somewhat surprisingly, among Deadheads there is general consensus that their best-ever show was 5/8/77 at Cornell University — a concert that’s been entered into the Library of Congress’s National Recording Registry.

But regarding the band’s 11 studio albums — there’s more disagreement.

My own favorite is Grateful Dead from the Mars Hotel — which, having been released on 6/27/74, is observing its 50th anniversary this week. So for the moment, your Webb critic takes a break from films and books to discuss this gem from one of

Those include the concert staples “Scarlet Begonias,” “Ship of Fools” and “U.S. Blues.” The latter, containing the lyrics in my headline, is a sort of bemused hippie anthem laced with what Dead expert Oliver Trager calls “seat-of-the-pants optimism.” (That phrase also perfectly describes the Dead’s lone top-40 hit, 1987’s “Touch of Grey.”)

Released as a single with GarciaHunter’s “Loose Lucy” on the B-side, it was originally titled “Wave That Flag” and thereafter substantially rewritten by Hunter — whereupon it became for years the Dead’s go-to choice for jaunty, crowdpleasing encores.

I once saw a shirt that read, “I’m not a Deadhead; I just like the music” — and I felt that described me to a T (if you’ll forgive the sartorial pun). Despite the

culture and the concerts and the cool iconography, what I like best is the band’s composition — and for that reason, I keep a running list of my favorite Dead tunes, with the legendary “Jack Straw” at No. 1. (Incidentally, that’s a song they never recorded in the studio; only live versions exist!)

Second spot is held by “Scarlet Begonias,” once the opening track on Hotel’s Side Two (back when every album had a Side Two!). Its slinky, slippery rhythms were inspired, said Garcia, by Cat Stevens and by Paul Simon — and I dare say if you played this joyous, London-set love-song for someone

who didn’t know the Dead, they might be surprised not only at the polished and expert musicianship, but also by what a happy and danceable tune it makes.

Mars Hotel’s remaining three tracks offer some fascinating trivia:

Guitarist and singer Bob Weir, who wrote many of the band’s most beloved pieces and still plays with The Dead, penned only one offering here — the rocker “Money Money,” whose mildly misogynistic lyrics led to it being dismissed from concert rotation after only three performances.

Bassist Phil Lesh — also still active in The Dead — was the group’s sole long-

term member with classical training. And Hotel is their only album on which he sings twice: “Pride of Cucamonga” (literally never performed in concert) and the seven-minute masterpiece “Unbroken Chain” — which (again quoting Trager) became “the stuff of Deadhead obsession.”

Alternately soulful and jazzy, it features a mid-tune jam whose time signature I still can’t figure out to this day (I think it’s either 15/8 or 13/8); and that may be why the band never performed it live.

Yet the song was so beloved that rumors commonly suggested they’d play it only on their very last tour.

And that’s exactly what happened.

The boys finally broke out “Chain” in 1995, just five months before Garcia’s

death — and it was in the setlist for their final show with him at Soldier Field on 7/9/95.

Similarly notable: Their encore at that concert was another Lesh composition, the early “Box of Rain” — so the final lyric the band sang with Jerry runs thus: “Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.”

Yet after five decades, Mars Hotel is still very much “there.” Indeed, the band is honoring this august occasion with a three-disc reissue that includes a complete 1974 concert from Reno, NV.

Fifty years later, they’re still playing Nevada — and tickets remain available … for folks who want to take that long, strange trip.

chops, bologna, mini beef sticks, smoked cheeses, and marinated steaks are also a popular pick. I know firsthand about their beef sticks! That is honestly what pulled me into there for the first time.

never knew Jersey Shore the way I do now. Working there three days a week for the past few years, I’ve really gotten to know the area. It’s such a cute little town with some great businesses. I got into the habit of stopping by Erv’s Market on 229 S. Main Street, right in Jersey Shore. A business that has been in the heart of Jersey Shore since 1985. That’s the year I was born! Thirty-nine years it has been around. The business has endured three different owners since. Erv and Barb Rauch founded Erv’s and ran the business from 1985 to 2018. His brother Doug and Lori Rauch owned it from 2018-2022. Dave & Mary Closs bought it in July 2022 and still own it. What is Erv’s Market, and what do they sell? Erv’s Market is a butcher shop. They have all kinds of really great meats they offer. Ground chuck is one of their most popular items. It is a very lean burger. Smoked pork

Some of our best friends, Shawn and Tania Myers, who lived in Jersey Shore for many years, had some amazing beef jerky and beef sticks on vacation when we all went to Gatlinburg in September 2022. They were so good that when we arrived home from vacation and returned to work the following week, I stopped in for some of my own. Dave and Mary, the business owners, were behind the counter and made me feel so welcome. I was greeted with a hello and a big smile. Each time I went back, I really got to know them. I went in about every two to three weeks for the longest time, keeping us stocked on my favorite cheese-filled beef sticks! Over time, I learned that they had just

bought the business.

ey not only butcher meat but also cater and o er side salads that start at $25. ings like baked beans, mac and cheese, pickled eggs, coleslaw, dill pickle, potato, macaroni, broccoli, and pasta salads with a 48-hour notice.

During the holidays, they take orders for Easter and Christmas hams and fresh turkeys from a local farm at anksgiving. Follow them on Facebook at Erv’s Meat Market to watch for specials like this one. ey also o er venison processing. Venison includes making hot dogs, sausage, bologna, marinated steak, and more! Call them for more details at 570-3984021.

Dave and Mary are exible and here to help with anything they can. I promise you will feel right at home in their place of business. ey also sell bulk items at a cheaper price, and starting soon, they will be o ering hot soups! It’s in the works right now. I’m excited for this one!

Come July, they are having a ra e for their anniversary month. Anyone who spends $20 or more gets a chance to win a wagon full of goodies! Stop by and see them there in the heart of Jersey Shore.

eir summer hours are: Tuesday 126, Wednesday & ursday 10-4, Friday 10-5, and Saturday 9-1.

I just recently found out about their smoked pork chops. Tania said it was one of her and Shawn’s favorites. I asked her how she cooked them, and she told me she just added Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce and grilled them. When I stopped into Erv’s for meat sticks, I grabbed some smoked pork chops to try, and boy, they did not let me down! e best pork chop I ever

SERVPRO’s “Hydrate For Heroes” Helps Hydrate Area Firefighters

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

s this is being written, there is a serious, health-threatening heat wave going on. No group of people is threatened more during these occurrences than our firefighters when they are battling red-hot blazes. Hydration is critical for them. In an attempt to assist in the effort to make sure these dedicated people stay safe and hydrated, the local SERVPRO franchises have started a program called “Hydrate For Heroes.”

“We came up with the idea about a month ago, but it was just kicked off very recently, Ben Boyles, Business Development Director for SERVPRO, told Webb Weekly. We work closely with our local fire departments as they’re there for the property owners during the ‘loss’ event (fire/water, etc.), and we’re there for the owners after the fire restoring their homes. We operate two separate SERVPRO franchises, Williamsport/ Montoursville and Lewisburg/Selinsgrove, so we have a vast territory that includes over 90 fire stations. So, when we realized this ongoing need was there, we knew we had to try to help.”

Boyles said they have regularly donated their SERVPRO bottled water cases for the past several years as best they can, but they’re a small, locally owned business. When they realized the need was so much more, they wanted to come up with a way to help get

more people involved. So, they ordered another pallet of their Servpro bottled water, created the Logo, and put together the plan of attack.

They planned and scheduled their donations at several of the local fire departments to get it started, launched the Post, and are now off and running.

He said they plan this as an ongoing project. “We’d love for this to continue even after the summer with the efforts of the community now realizing the consistent, ongoing need of our local firemen,” stated Boyles. The campaign just launched and has gotten a great deal of traffic and views online, and we look forward to hearing and seeing the donations come into our fire departments.”

“The appreciation of these departments is so genuine when we’re there; it motivated us to put this campaign in motion. We appreciate this so much more than you know” is the universal response from the departments.”

To contribute to the ‘Hydrate Our Heroes’ program, simply drop off your bottled water donations at your local fire departments. Take a photo, post it on Facebook, and tag the fire department, as well as @Servprowilliamsportmontoursville and @Servprolewisburgselinsgrove. Most importantly, use the hashtag #HydrateOurHeroes to keep the momentum going!

Follow their Facebook Page to follow along and see others who proudly donate.

According to Wikipedia, this common linguistic phenomenon involves joining the sound and/or meaning from pieces of two or more existing words.

For example: Dumbfound mixes dumb and confound. And in druthers, the last letter of would is added to a slang corruption of rather — thus designating what one “would prefer” (as in, “If I had my druthers…”).

Believe it or not, we’re on the subject of blends — also called portmanteaux — for our third week, because the English language has literally hundreds of such words.

With some debt to Dictionary.com, Wikipedia and the Online Etymology Dictionary, here’s a final set we haven’t covered yet:

Splatter mixes splash and spatter, while stash likely comes from stow and cache

The German Gestapo is a triple-blend, contracting Geheime Staats-polizei, which literally means “German secret police.” And the oft-used internet also

is a blend, combining the prefix inter(“between”) and of course, network I particularly love one of Huck Finn’s favorite nouns for “stuff” or “junk” — namely, rubbage, a mix of rubbish and garbage. While it never officially entered our language, it’s used eight times in Twain’s masterpiece, and that’s good enough for me.

Indeed, when I used to teach Huck Finn at Loyalsock, I used rubbage as a vocab-skill builder. Since it isn’t in the dictionary, they have to figure it out from context — which is actually how we learn most of our words. And I would then proceed to employ rubbage as a jumping-off point for digging up other portmanteaux.

In this internet scavenger hunt, my students would usually key in on food and animals — as in the following: Cronut is an obvious (and tasty) blend of croissant and donut; the term is actually a trademark, having been invented by French pastry chef Dominique Ansel. Broccoflower is another obvious blend that probably won’t hit big with meatlovers. Likewise, tofurkey is (as you might guess) a turkey substitute made with tofu — while the triple-blend turducken consists of “a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, further

stuffed into a deboned turkey.”

As for animals, we must mention such mixed breeds as the zedonk (zebra + donkey), tiglon and liger (both blending tiger and lion), beefalo (part cow, part buffalo) and any number of doggie hybrids — whose origins my readers can puzzle out for themselves: puggle, chorkie, cockapoo and of course, labradoodle. (Trust me — there are many others.)

In the realm of science, we have quasar, a shortening of quasi-stellar — because that type of “radio source” was the first quasar discovered. Along the same lines, pulsar shortens pulsating star, while transistor condenses transfer resistor And the terrific blend stiction (static and friction) is, according to Dictonary.com, “the frictional force to be overcome to set one object in motion when it is in contact with another.”

Medically, there is vitamin, borrowing the Latin vita- (which means life and gives us many other words), along with amine — because these were once thought to contain amino acids. And let’s not forget the trademark Botox, which — believe it or not — is related to botulism and toxin. So … remind me why anyone would want to put this in their body?

A few blends also pertain to politics — among which we might point to Brexit,

stagflation and shrinkflation, along with any number of examples using the suffix –(on)omics — such as Reaganomics and Bidenomics, to name just two.

Sticking with politics, another famous example comes from one-time Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin: In a long-ago tweet, she accidentally conflated refute and repudiate to create the comical refudiate — which in 2010 went on to be named “Word of the Year” by the New Oxford American Dictionary

Interestingly, something similar emerged at Loyalsock when two of my students independently (and inadvertently, I hope) combined a pair of well-known terms to create pedestool — which really should also get some kind of honor, if you ask me.

On a final and more timely note: For the midweek publication of Webb, I usually write these columns on the previous Wednesday; so when I took a break from my laptop on 6/19 and went out to fetch my nonexistent mail that day, I suddenly remembered another seasonal blend-word: Juneteenth, our national holiday that honors the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Too bad I’m mentioning it seven days after the actual observation!

Oh, well; as with the American Abolitionist victory — which lagged behind Britain by nearly 30 years — better late than never, right?

Vacay Packing List

ummer has o cially started, and vacations are looming large. e perfect summer vacay for me includes beach time, cocktails on a deck, hiking, breweries, and outlet shopping. And, of course, lots and lots of shell sh. But, before any vacation, there is the stress and dread of packing. As a mom, I’m not just packing for myself; I usually pack for my girls, and car snacks, and activities, and groceries, maybe a cooler with essentials, plus swimming gear. It’s a lot. So, for this year’s trip, I made packing categories to help organize myself and avoid becoming overwhelmed. e whole “eat the elephant one bite at a time” approach. First up, swimsuits. is category includes bathing suits, sandals and water shoes, hats and sunglasses, a few pool toys and otation devices, and sunscreen and cover-ups. And don’t forget towels. For beach trips, this requires multiples of some items. I like to go for two suits per person minimum when visiting the shore. For only one or two planned pool days, one of each for everyone is su cient; however, I am a fan of packing backups just in case. You may also have to make some new purchases from this list, in fact any of these lists, as kids’ feet just keep growing. Of course, if swimming is not on your itinerary, you can skip the majority of the items in this grouping. However, I

question your judgment. How can swimming not be part of a summer vacation?

Next up, sleep and loungewear. ese can be interchangeable as we o en tend to sleep in sweats about as much as we hang around the house in PJs. ese clothes are also what you’ll wear to the continental breakfast or even a morning stroll to a market or around the camp re. I like the idea of setting aside certain casual wear pieces speci cally for travel versus packing my everyday items. For example, I have a matching pajama set I usually only wear on vacation. For kids, I try to pack their least-worn-looking nighties and sweatshirts. e idea is comfortable but still somewhat presentable.

On the ip side is activewear. I don’t just mean workout clothes in this category, but street clothes or what you’ll wear when you’re out and about. is can consist of standard shorts and t-shirts, as well as activity-speci c pieces, like sun-protective clothing or matching T-shirts for the family reunion. You’ll want to aim for as much functionality as ts your trip. For hotter climates, which, let’s face it, is all climates here lately, pack sweat-wicking, lightercolored fabrics with loose weaves to re ect the heat. If you’re sightseeing, pack proper shoes and durable socks for everyone. Pack layer-able pieces for chilly AC if you’ll be

All of the above categories are based on practicality, but what is a summer getaway without some ights of fancy? For that, we have the “vacation clothes” category. ese are the fun clothes you may have impulsively bought just in case you might go somewhere someday. ink a tropical-print ca an for Hilton Head, a sparkly skirt for Las Vegas, and that backless jumpsuit for a girls’ trip. I have a particular pine tree-printed sweatshirt that I basically only wear when I visit Colorado. ese are the clothes with themes or may be a bit out of the ordinary. Basically, these are the clothes to have fun in. De nitely group dressy clothes here for any dinner dates or if your trip includes a

fancy event like a wedding or class reunion. e next category gets down to the nittygritty and always trips me up. Toiletries and sundries. It’s always the small things that cause the most stress. ere are the basics like shampoo, conditioner, hairbrush, soaps, toothpaste/toothbrush, and those usually have travel-size options that may already live in pockets of your luggage. For our family, we also include body lotion and detangling spray in our list of basics. en there are medication, prescriptions, of course, and things handy to have, like Tylenol for headaches, cold medicine for sni es, MiraLAX for you know what, Pepto Bismal for the other, you know what. I’m always worried about going overboard and, at the same time, not su ciently anticipating follies. It really depends on

your trip. Obviously, it’s smart to bring calamine lotion if you’ll be in the woods and Dramamine if you’ll be on the ocean. A er medication comes makeup. Vacation makeup should be as minimal as possible. Unless you’re attending a wedding or trying to make a former classmate jealous, keep the ultra-glam at home. You’ll likely not run into anyone you know, so a standard “5-minute” face is all that is needed. However, even though you’re escaping the humdrum of your day-to-day life, you still want to pack all of your daily skincare products. Again, depending on your destination, you may want to throw in a few hydrating sheet masks or hair serums to prevent damage from the sun, sand, sea, or chlorine.

e next two categories are foods and activities. ese have sub-sections like

snacks, drinks, premade meals, ingredients, etc. For activities, this can include everything from books to cra s, to stu es to gear like tents and kayaks. For the gear of it all, I leave that to my husband, and we split up the food category. Activities are where the girls contribute the most, deciding for themselves how they want to be entertained. Lastly, technology. Chargers, tablets, e-readers, phones, earbuds, etc. Again, I leave this to my husband; I just make sure to have my own devices in order. Most of the time, this is what works for my family and me, but it’s still a big stressor prepping for vacation. I usually end up running back and forth to the car with last-minute items right up until we leave. Wherever you’re headed, here’s to safe travels and all that is necessary getting packed.

UPMC Doctor: Important Screenings to Remember This Men’s Health Month

Marcus Powers, M.D. Family Medicine, UPMC

e celebrate dads during the month of June for Father’s Day, but did you know that it’s also the month dedicated to men’s health awareness? Beyond just fathers, all men should take this opportunity to reflect on their health and wellness. An easy first step is to help get them started with an idea of what screenings to keep in mind per their stage in life. Being proactive in the maintenance of health will help keep your loved ones around with a high quality of life.

Any Age

Before delving into each stage and screenings to expect, it’s important to keep lifestyle factors and family history in mind. Things like diet, activity level, medical history, plus alcohol and tobacco intake can affect your physician’s suggestions on when to expect certain examinations down the line. Your family history is especially important, as it may mean that these examinations should occur earlier for

you personally compared to the average male. For example, if your father has a history of colon cancer, you may start colorectal screenings at the age of 35 instead of the usual 45.

At any age, your mental wellbeing should be at the forefront of your health concerns. Keep in mind that if you’re experiencing any symptoms of anxiety, depression, or any other mental health issues, it is important to seek professional help sooner rather than later.

20s and 30s

Annual Physical Exams – Get in the habit of seeing your primary care physician at least once a year early. As they get to know you, they will understand your concerns and be proactive in helping alleviate them. Your doctor will check your vital signs, discuss immunizations, listen to your heart and lungs, and examine your head, neck, and abdomen for any abnormalities It is typically suggested that men schedule an annual vision exam, as well as a dental exams every six months.

Skin Cancer Screening – Skin cancer is one of the most diagnosed cancers for those in their mid-to-late thirties and

incidences of melanoma continue to increase rapidly with age. While your primary care physician is qualified to check your skin during an annual appointment, it may be suggested to additionally meet with a dermatologist for a full-body examination. 40s and 50s

Colorectal Screening – When you turn 45, it is suggested that regularly scheduled colonoscopies or stool tests for those who don’t tolerate or refuse colonoscopies (as long as there’s no immediate family with a history of colon cancer) become part of your health repertoire. Cases of colon cancer have been on the rise and starting these screenings younger helps to prevent or catch the cancer at its earliest stages, when it is most curable.

Prostate Cancer Screening – In your forties, it’s important to begin the conversation with your doctor about when to start prostate exams. This would likely just be a blood test every one to two years unless there’s a specific indication or other symptoms. According to certain risk factors, you might start these at age 45, but those of average risk may begin the screenings at age 50.

Immunizations – You should be receiving annual immunizations like the flu shot, but now, it’s time to consider other preventative measures as you get

older. At 50, a shingles vaccine may be suggested even if you’ve had shingles infection before. Pneumococcal/ pneumonia vaccines may be suggested starting at age 65 for adults of average health and possibly earlier if certain risk factors are present. Other immunizations to keep in mind are the RSV vaccine and continued doses of the tetanus shot.

60s and Beyond

Hearing Exam – Over time, it’s common for men to experience loss of hearing, especially if you’ve been surrounded by loud noises throughout your life at work. It’s important to have hearing tests done so that you don’t have trouble conversing with family and friends. This will help you feel generally more connected and less isolated.

Bone Density Test – Men over 70 should consider a screening to test bone density, especially if there are risk factors present.

No matter what or when, your primary care physician will always be willing to discuss your health concerns and help set you on a tailored path for the best well-being possible.

Fan Support Fueled Lady Mounties Run

By Scott N. Lowery

The numbers ashed on the scoreboard at Penn State University’s so ball eld closed the nal chapter of South Williamsport’s season but did nothing to take away the excitement, accomplishments, and memories contained in the many pages of the yearlong story penned by the young ladies proudly wearing the Mountaineers blue & white.

From the bitter cold days of a preseason scrimmage at Lake Lehman to the scorching heat at far-away Lyons, PA (population 439) and the playo college sites at Wilkes, Lock Haven, and State College, the team gave its legion of traveling fans plenty to both cheer about and remember, but also to hope for the 2025 season ahead.

the loyalty of the Mounties fan base, who have made their presence felt throughout the team’s 24-3 season.

Not only do they show up for games, but their support has been there at every turn.

Two hundred people turned out at South Williamsport’s nal practice of the season, turning the session into a community pep rally. Arriving home from State College in a driving rainstorm, the team was escorted through the South Williamsport streets by a bevy of police cars and re trucks with their sirens blaring. Appreciative fans waved from homes and businesses as the players waved and cheered those standing in the rain greeting them.

Much has been written about South Williamsport so ball since the days of their Little League career when many of the current team members played in the 2019 Little League World Series in Portland, Oregon. Many of the same fans that followed them across the county were there to ll the stands in Happy Valley and the PIAA AA State Championship game.

While the chase for PIAA gold turned into silver, falling to state powerhouse Neshannock 12-2, even the sting of a tenrun rule-shortened game didn’t dismay

Playing an independent regular season, coach Tom O’Malley’s crew played a highly competitive schedule, paving the way to the state championship. Getting to the playo s, the team’s 20 games included opponents from ve PIAA classi cations: 1A, 3 AA, 8AAA, 5AAAA, and 3AAAAA. Along the way, only three opponents scored more than three runs in a game. e overall strength of the teams played is re ected by their appearances in the PIAA state playo s. Opponents from Bucktail, Loyalsock, Midd-West, Williams Valley, Central Mountain, and Pittston all quali ed for the state tournament, with Pittston reaching the 5A championship game.

State, appreciative cheers rained down upon them. Among them were chants of “we’ll be back,” referencing hopes for next year’s season. Such a scenario is a long way o , and there is more work and improvement to accomplish. Unless it has been experienced, it is hard to comprehend just how hard it is to get to a state championship game. at remains an epilogue to this year’s story.

is year’s narrative has been written, and although second place was not the Lady Mounties’ primary goal, the team they played on June 14 was the better team.

Neshannock, the powerhouse from western PA, closed out its second undefeated state championship season

in the past three years. During that time, they have compiled a 74-1 record, losing only to the 2023 state champ Everett in the 2023 state semi- nals. roughout the 2024 season, MaxPreps has had them ranked as the state’s number-one team among all six of the PIAA classi cations. ose who have seen them play can attest that they are to Pennsylvania AA so ball what Southern Columbia is to AA football. ey are more than a team — they are a machine.

“ e Loves of eodore Roosevelt: e Women Who Created a President” by Edward F. O’Keefe

c.2024, Simon & Schuster

$30.99

464 pages

Is it really better to have loved and lost, rather than to never have loved at all?

Ask your average teenager and the answer would be a resounding and emphatic “no.” As an adult, though, Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s words likely have a wider meaning. In the game of love, you win some,

you lose some, and in the new book “ e Loves of eodore Roosevelt” by Edward F. O’Keefe, your position in life matters not.

ough he later had a reputation for adventure and derring-do, young eodore Roosevelt was so -hearted and gentle. His many illnesses may’ve had something to do with that; as an infant, he su ered from “cholera morbus” and other maladies; as a young boy, he took to his bed from many a ictions. Because he wasn’t roughand-tumble like other boys, he had few playmates other than his siblings: oldest sister Bamie, younger sister Conie, brother Elliott, and a “bonus sister,” Edie Carow, who lived nearby.

In later years, Conie (who was the same age as Edie) would say that Edie and “Teedie” seemed destined to be together. When the Roosevelt family embarked on a trip to London, Teedie cried upon leaving his friend. He wrote Edie long letters while he was away at Harvard. He named his boat a er her.

Alas, says O’Keefe, on August 22, 1878, something happened between them, maybe a marriage proposal that Edie wasn’t prepared to accept. Roosevelt headed back to Harvard, brokenhearted, but not for long: not two months later, he met Alice Hathaway Lee.

Much has been written about Valentine’s Day of 1884, and the losses Roosevelt sustained. A er the funerals, Roosevelt did what he always did: he le his home and threw himself into action – leaving behind a baby daughter and grieving families.

But he kept in touch with family, and in the fall of 1885, he was in New York, visiting with his daughter and Conie, when Edith Carow came to call. Accidentally or on purpose, the former crushes came faceto-face and “... within forty days of their reunion, they became secretly engaged.”

Chances are, if you know anything about our twenty-sixth President, you have an image of a manly-man, the hunting-campinghorseback type. He was like that, yes, but in “ e Loves of eodore Roosevelt,” you’ll see a surprisingly marshmallowy TR.

Indeed, author Edward F. O’Keefe presents evidence that Roosevelt had a downright so side, and could actually be almost oral in his emotions. O’Keefe shares letters written

by the future President that practically ooze with Victorian emotion, which knocks any old image you might have aside. Forget all that Rough Rider stu ; Roosevelt was a mushy romantic at his core, and while he did hold some typical late-nineteenthcentury attitudes about women and race, he was also quite progressive, which is another pleasant shocker in this very ne book. Obviously, this is a good tale for history fans and those who like unique biographies, and romance readers may nd what they crave in it, too. Try “ e Loves of eodore Roosevelt,” and you’ll love it, too.

The Roving Sportsman… The Dog Days of Summer

By Jon Pries

Iam usually a positive-thinking person who tries to keep an optimistic approach to all the things around me.

To that end, I continually encourage people to get outside and enjoy every day that they can in our great outdoors. Whether you are a hunter, a shooter, a sherman, or simply enjoy time outside gardening, hiking, or relaxing — for your mental and physical health’s sake — get out and spend time in the fresh air!

With that in mind, however, there needs to be a note or two of caution added. ere seems to have been no real transition from the chilly and wet days of spring into the warmer summer weather. In fact, on ursday, June 20 (the o cial rst day of summer for 2024), we seemed to have slammed right into the “Dog Days of Summer!” e “Dog Days of Summer” refers to those days that usually occur later in the summertime that are hot and sultry, with both high temperatures and high humidity. is stretch of days is the hottest and most uncomfortable summer days in the Northern Hemisphere and is said to be accompanied by drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, mad dogs, and bad luck!

Most of us enjoy some time under the sun and like a bit of a tanned appearance. Besides, we are told that the sun’s rays will aid in providing some much-needed vitamin D, which has a healthy bene t.

But the time we spend exposed to the sun’s rays can soon become too much of a good thing and can unexpectedly lead to mild to serious health issues — from mild sunburn to the potentially deadly skin cancer known as melanoma. So, let’s use some good old common sense.

Boaters and shermen seem to have a better awareness of this concern, most likely due to the fact that with the re ective nature of water, the sun’s rays seem to be magni ed when they are enjoying their sport. Today, as you watch the majority of the shing shows or videos, you will see that most conscientious shermen are wearing hats, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and o en gloves.

Clothing has come a long way in recent years, and today, the design provides lightweight nylon alternatives to the heavy cotton clothing of years past. ese same types of garments are available in camo patterns for the hunter and photographer. Additionally, you really should be using sunscreen when outdoors, whether in bright sun or cloudy conditions. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the best type to use is the one you will use faithfully — again and again. Make sure it o ers broadspectrum (UVA and UVB) protection, has an SPF of 30 or higher, and is water resistant. While sunscreen may decrease your skin’s vitamin D production, you can discuss alternative ways to add vitamin D with your doctor, such as a vitamin supplement or

certain foods to your diet. What should you do if you get sunburn? First, stop further UV exposure and treat it as soon as possible. Cool baths will reduce the heat, and moisturizers will help ease the discomfort. Hydrocortisone cream and even aspirin or ibuprofen will further ease the discomfort. Drink extra water to prevent dehydration. If your skin begins to blister, you may have a second-degree burn and should contact your doctor for further advice. Avoid the sun while your skin heals and be sure to cover the sunburn every time you go outdoors.

The Skin Cancer Foundation (www. skincancer.org) recommends using a broadspectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen and wearing protective clothing. They report that 5.4 million cases of non-malignant

skin cancer are treated every year, and an estimated 20 percent of Americans will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetime. Chilling statistics suggest we should take precautionary measures, such as sunscreen and protective clothing, very seriously.

The bottom line is that we can — and should — enjoy time in the outdoors, but we need to use some common sense as well. At your next doctor’s appointment, discuss preventive techniques to avoid skin damage from exposure to UV rays.

Particularly during these “Dog Days of Summer,” apply a generous helping of sunscreen and replenish it often. Don’t forget the protective clothing, and then enjoy your favorite sport or outdoor activity throughout the coming months.

It’s summer, and the kids are out of school, and a lot of them are no doubt looking for something to do; unfortunately, a lot of that time these days is spent working a keypad. When I think back to those grade school and junior high school days, we didn’t have gadgets with keypads, and all four stations on our TV were black and white. Me and the neighborhood boys would meet in the dirt alley that led to our house and play “pee-gee” ball. What’s that? Well, we used an old broomstick and hit a hollow plastic ball the size of a golf ball. We had nobody to take us fishing back then, so we would often hop on our bikes and ride five miles through the countryside to Pancoast Bottom, where a slowmoving, muddy creek was located. We would perch ourselves on the dry mud bank and fish for suckers with a bobber and a worm that we dug

from the edge of the creek. That was my introduction to fishing, but it worked! Little did I know back then that fishing would actually become a part of what I do for a living, and it’s a major pastime that my family and friends enjoy on a regular basis. It’s certainly a great outdoor activity that I would like to see more of our young people become a part of, and we parents and adults can help make that happen. You don’t have to be an expert angler yourself to take a kid fishing, and it’s best to keep it simple. A good idea might be to take the youngster to a Walmart and buy them one of those cheap little kids’ outfits with fancy colors, making the outing even more exciting. Some appropriately sized hooks, a small bobber, and some worms are enough to get the job done. In fact, gathering bait is also part of the fun, especially for youngsters.

It’s probably a good idea to keep that rst experience simple and hopefully productive. For that reason, I would not suggest large streams with moving water but rather a lake or, even better yet, a farm pond. Farm ponds are o en loaded with various sh and rarely shed, but of course, you will need permission to go on to a private pond. e good thing about ponds and lakes is the water isn’t moving, and you can park yourself on a bank and o en get into some action. Ponds are o en blessed with good numbers of bluegills and are o en very willing takers of almost any kind of bait. Bluegills are great ghters for their size, and to be honest, I still enjoy taking bluegills, especially on a yrod. Another added feature is they are great for eating as well.

ere’s no guarantee that you will catch sh when you take that youngster out for the rst time, but my guess is if some sh are caught, there will be interest in going again, which makes a pond

a good rst choice. Certainly, lakes can be productive too, but do a little research to nd out what lakes would likely be productive. Certainly, taking a boat out if you have access to one may be great as well, but with youngsters, you obviously have to be more cautious. Also, remember that they must always wear a life jacket when on a boat.

It’s great to witness the excitement on a kid’s face when he catches his rst sh, and the experience can be equally rewarding for the adult overseeing the whole a air.

I know all of you are way past the stage in your lives where the teachers will be asking you to write what you did on your summer vacation when you return to school in the fall, so instead, I just wanted to send along this note to thank you for all the special memories you have provided me along our shared softball trail this spring.

While we sat on the steps outside Penn State’s softball field before the state championship game, Mikiaya remarked with excitement, “This feels like Christmas morning.” Indeed, it was for all of us, and coincidentally, as we look back upon this incredible journey, it was the day after Christmas that we

gathered in the weight room to get ready for what was to come. Due to my basketball coaching duties, I missed many of those winter sessions when laughter was interspersed with the grunts and groans of those weighted obstacles you were moving around. However, as the season progressed, I have fond memories of those 38 home runs clearing the fences and the smiles on our faces when coach Adam placed the home run chain around your necks. That weightroom must have helped!

As you know, I am a big country music fan, although not much of a dancer. There were times when team-DJ Lily’s music boom box had me tapping my feet which somehow led to a few impromptu moves in the dugout before one of our playoff games. Hopefully, none of your always active phone cameras caught any of that ‘action.’ Your politeness was contagious, and as Coach Tom has said many times, “Thank you for thanking me.” Don’t know if it may have crossed your mind, but Coach Chris could use a professional right arm massage to

recover from the thousands of pitches served up during batting practice sessions. It didn’t matter how many swings you took, but all of you wanted “one more pitch” before you left the batter’s box.

Practice sessions always started on time. Obviously, you were all aware of the team rule: “ If you’re early, you’re on time; if you’re on time, you’re late!”

Many sports teams have cheerleaders. We didn’t need them. We had Kendall. Her positive messages were there to encourage all. Even when she didn’t perform well (which wasn’t often), she was right there enthusiastically supporting her teammates. When in the dugout, it was best to try not to be downwind to Kendall’s cheering when the game was in progress.

The bus trips were lively. I’ve always been aware of the old adage about people singing in the shower. With this group, they must have saved all their ‘singing talents’ in line with Willie Nelson’s On the Road Again song. A saving grace was that the school’s choral director, Mrs. Rummings, was not along for the rides. If so, some may not have been selected for the school’s choir.

I’ve had the opportunity to coach baseball and basketball teams for several decades, but accepting coach O’Malley’s

invitation to join the softball staff was my first involvement in coaching young ladies. What an enjoyable time I’ve had over the past five years. While you had known the other coaches previously, you welcomed this ‘rookie’ with open arms, for which I thank you. Not everyone can win a championship, but it doesn’t take a trophy or medal to act like a champion. You all have done that with class. After the state championship loss, you proudly stood on the third base line, accepting a reward you did not want with smiles on your faces and pride in your heart, knowing that you gave this game and this season the very best effort you could muster.

I noticed. The fans noticed. The gathered media took notice and carried that moment to the recipients of their reports. In sports, there is ‘always next year.’ What next year will bring is unknown. But what is known is that as your high school years turn into adulthood, what you will most remember is not the runner-up finish of that June 14 game but rather what we all accomplished together. Medals can tarnish. The memories of our 2024 softball season will not!

Have a great summer, and let’s complete the drive in 2025!

~ Coach Lowery

The area’s nest minor leaguers aged 7-10 recently gathered at our magni cent complex o State Route 973. Massive crowds traveled some 50 miles to Cogan Station to witness many spectacular performances and stellar plays. We welcomed teams from Jersey Shore, Muncy, WALL, South Williamsport, Hughesville, Loyalsock, Montgomery, and Montoursville. Several fans pitched their tents to beat the heat. Two weeks of exciting baseball. e who’s who of Lycoming County spent a great deal of time at our little corn eld in the 17728. Our concession stand is the best in Pennsylvania, and folks even came back a er their teams were eliminated. Our little tournament is a summertime staple, and it continues to bring out our best.

“People will come, Ray. ey’ll come to the 17728 for reasons they can’t even fathom. ey’ll show up in groves not knowing why. ey’ll arrive at this eld as innocent as children, longing for the past. And they’ll pass over money without even thinking. For it is money they have and peace they lack. People will come, Ray. People will most de nitely come.” James Earl Jones. e same dude who played Darth Vadar.

Coach Steve Kreamer was a great dude, and he loved his baseball. e long-time stalwart of Hepburn Lycoming Little League was at every single game and then

some. He started our two-week minor league showcase back in the early 90s. And when he unexpectedly passed, it was a nobrainer to honor Uncle Steve by renaming his tournament the ‘Steve Kreamer Memorial,’ to be played every June. Steve was the face of Hepburn for many years. If he wasn’t on the eld coaching, you would nd him in the press box playing music in between innings or lending a hand. Steve had a passion for baseball and was a permanent xture at every event. Our friend is still watching. And we remember him with every pitch. I believe this was our 33rd Minor A Tournament.

“It’s always a fun two weeks of baseball,” Marc Hess shared. “ e smiles are great. Di erent faces. But they are all the same. It brings back so many great memories with my father-in-law, Steve. Some teams are already asking about next year. Yes. It is a lot of work, but we will continue to do this every year.”

Jensen and I snuck over for the Championship on ursday. I recognized several faces and got a chance to say hello to many friends. It brought back so many vivid memories. My son’s team took the title back in 2017. I remembered the nerves. e smells. e roars and the crowds. It was so dang hot, and everyone was doing their best to stay hydrated. Loyalsock and South Williamsport were the last two teams standing. Sock had an easy road to the

RON INSINGER’S

nals, and the cardiac kids from the South side were looking for some revenge. Sock bounced South last week in the quarters. e Mounties won three games in as many days to earn their place. Outstanding baseball. Fantastic game. A rollercoaster of emotions. Ups and downs. It was insane. South came away with an impressive 11-10 victory to force another CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. Double elimination, folks. We are back at it tonight.

“ e boys have been amazing all tournament,” Loyalsock Skipper Mike Richardson explained. “Our pitchers have been dominant, and we are putting the ball in play. It was an emotional game ( ursday), and a lot of credit goes to South. We started a little at. Perhaps we were a little nervous. Again. South played great. I am sure that we will be ready for tonight. It has been a fun few weeks.” I would like to thank all of the players and fans for another fantastic tournament. e games started last ursday, June 13th, and we are still playing. Now, I am out of the loop, but I am extremely happy that the next generation of moms and dads have picked up the slack in the 17728. I love watching these youngsters. ey are at an outstanding age. e games are so exciting,

and I enjoy the smiles. Baseball is in its purest form. No drama. Bravo, Loyalsock, and South Side. You are all winners in my book, and each one of you has just made your favorite page.

Congratulations to Sock, coached by Mike Richardson. Bravo Jaxton Rupert, Sawyer Eichensehr, Blake Richardson, Crew Wheeland, Devin Reeder, My man Jack Confer, Cash Richardson, Isaac Forsburg, Jaxon Bennett, Colson Bennet, Aiden Kiessling and Grayson Kulp. Much love to the Mounties, coached by Brad Lusk. Well done, Logan Young, Cooper Morrison, Gage Grubb, Brantley Lusk, Eli Gair, Brooks Manikowski, Nolan Edkin, Jameson Keeler, Garrett Loudenslager, Aiden Bower, and Gavin Petrosky. Apologies if I misspelled any names. Blame your coach.

It takes several helping hands to pull o something like this, and thankfully, a few residents pitched in. Hepburn Lycoming continues to shine. I appreciate the umpires and many volunteers, too. Because of them, the 2024 Steve Kreamer Memorial Minor Tournament was another home run. Well done, kids. Cheers.
