As Fall Closes in, the Giving Season Begins

I’ve got a lot of ground, out eld grass, fairway, and even peaceful cemetery space to cover this week, so I had better get right to it. I’ll begin where I le o last week with West End Babe Ruth 1316’s trip to the World Series in Branson, Missouri.

Congratulations to the West End team, parents, fans, and all the great folks in our area who cheered on the amazing season with them. Only one team can nish a World Series with a win, and Jim and Bonnie Winder will have to wait for that championship trophy for another year. e team nished 5th a er dropping a tough loss to Torrance, California.

e West Enders represented all of us back home with class, sportsmanship, and by showing o the great baseball skills that make the greater Williamsport area so respected when it comes to baseball. A special tip of my cap to everyone who donated to help curb some of the expenses for the team.

I will stay in the out eld grass at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field. Another hometown team of summer is looking to win that most di cult last game. e Williamsport Crosscutters will host the MLB Dra League Championship game on ursday, September 5th. e game will be a celebration complete with post-game reworks. ank you to all the fans and local business folks who supported the team.

Hopefully, the championship trophy will stay right here in Billtown a er the reworks go boom. Next up, people ask me all the time if I’m a golfer. I le that sport rst up to my father and now to my sons Jimmy and Hunter. I will add that if it wasn’t for my lack of patience coupled with an inability to accept not being good at something, I would probably tee o . I do appreciate the game, however — especially how it can be used to help raise money for so many good reasons. is will be the case on September 6th at White Deer Golf Course as St. John Neumann Regional Academy will be holding their inaugural golf tournament.

e event’s golf committee reached out to me and explained the why for the new fundraiser. Simply put, it will help keep the doors open at all the schools. I sometimes get caught up in appreciating the athletic accomplishments Neumann has had over the years. ese pale in comparison to the contributions Neumann graduates have made to our area and beyond over the decades.

If you would like to play, be a business sponsor, or just make a contribution, you may call (570)323-9953, ext. 100 or email athdir@sjnra.org. ank you to all the com-

munity-driven folks working hard to make this happen.

Last stop is that cemetery spot that you probably wondered how I was going to tie into this. Dori Rankinen always gives 100% to whatever she’s working on. is goes an extra 10% for her Wreaths Across America e orts.

If you’re not familiar with this, they will place wreaths at the veterans’ graves in their honor during the Christmas season. Near Ken Hunter’s column, a Sunday, September 15th Sportsmen’s Event ad can be found, with rearms provided by National Sporting Goods and much more. It sounds like a great way to raise money for the additional wreaths needed.

If you have any questions about the event,

you can contact Dori at 570-772-2423. is is a great spot for me to mention I understand many of us frequently get asked about helping people, organizations, and causes. Please do what you can and feel comfortable doing. Whether it’s nancial help, the gi of your time, or something else, it would be appreciated. Please understand it’s OK to say no and please never feel pressured.

I’ll nish up with, school is open, drive with extra caution and safely. Just think about all the distracted drivers you’ve witnessed this past week. Now, couple that with all the bad drivers out there. It’s up to all of us to make an e ort to keep the kids safe and look out for them. God Bless America.

From the Editor…

Two Perspectives of the This Year’s MLB/Little League Classic

By Steph Nordstrom and Lou Hunsinger Jr.

We are going to do things a little differently this week. I’m sharing my space with Lou this week for a little insight on the MLB/Little League Classic. I’m going to let Lou lead off and I’ll bat clean-up…

Tber of the press, gaining highly sought-after media credentials for this notable matchup.

Steph Nordstrom

up in left field, near “Cutters Cove.”

My location provided an interesting viewpoint to watch the game. From my perch, I was close enough to see the massive Aaron Judge as he warmed up in the outfield and then took up his post in centerfield.

Judge was probably the main attraction at the game. He currently leads the major league in homers. Even if they were not Yankee fans, all the fans attending the game hoped to see Judge hit one of his prodigious homers, hopefully out near Park Pizza.

he 2024 MLB/Little League Classic is now in the books. It had one of the most widely anticipated matchups in its brief seven-year history when the Detroit Tigers hosted the most storied franchise in sports history, the New York Yankees, at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field. Webb Weekly had two of its writers on hand, providing two different perspectives of this memorable event.

Steph Nordstrom, editor of Webb Weekly, worked the game as a mem-

I attended and enjoyed the game under less exalted circumstances. Through the ticket lottery conducted by Major League Baseball, I could scrounge two tickets for myself and my friend, Jack Houston. It seemed appropriate that Jack would be with me at the game because he is the founder and head of the local chapter of the Society of American Baseball Research, and during his 35-year career as a professor of History and Religious Studies, he once taught a course on the History of Baseball.

While Steph could wander throughout the ballpark in areas designated for the press, Jack and I viewed the game from the temporary stands set

All Judge could muster was a single, but what he couldn’t do at bat he somewhat made up for with a stellar defensive play. He hand-led a single and fired the ball to the infield, which was then lasered to the catcher, nailing the runner attempting to score.

The game was an old-fashioned pitcher’s duel, which many baseball purists tend to love. It featured two fine pitchers, the Tigers’ Taik Skrubal and the Yanks’ Marcus Strohman.

CLASSIC

The game was decided in the 10th inning as the Tigers scored the winning run, prevailing 3-2, and there was late-inning excitement.

It may have been the most dramatic and exciting Classic played, even though the excitement did not come until late. I later learned that, according to ESPN, it had the best ratings of any of the previous Classics.

It was an interesting and memo-

rable night for all those who were lucky enough to attend that game, including Steph and me.

And now, batting second in the lineup…

Which I know isn’t clean-up, but you get the point.

I was incredibly fortunate to be approved for media credentials for this game. It was my second year doing so, and I’ll tell ya, much like

Little League — it doesn’t get old.

First up was my initial walkabout to get the lay of the land. First stop was the media room, followed by a trip around the stadium.

I’ve been to Bowman Field dozens of times, but it takes on a whole new vibe when she is all decked out for the Classic.

One of the coolest things is that you never know who you’ll find milling around — but I’ll get back to that.

After getting some pictures of the empty stadium, I headed back to the press room for pre-game interviews.

Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe and outfielder Giancarlo Stanton were first on the mic. They mostly spoke about their own Little League experiences and how much fun they had with the kids earlier in the day at Lamade.

Stanton added that when he was a kid, “I couldn’t imagine being able to hang out with Big Leaguers like this. It’s a great experience.”

Yankees’ Manager Aaron Boone

also gave an interview. “What Major League Baseball has done here over the years, marrying the two events in some way this weekend, it is really good for everyone involved.”

A pretty nasty storm came through during the pre-game interviews, and I think we were all a little nervous about that. Luckily, the skies cleared, and the tarp came off in plenty of time before the game.

No big deal, just casually sharing space with two Hall of Famers — Mike Mussina and Joe Torre

After a quick stop at Will Call — like Lou, I also managed to snag two tickets in the lottery that went to my fiancé and his son — I headed back to the field.

Now remember when I told you about how you never know who you’ll find milling around at this event? Well, there I was, standing near the Yankees’ dugout. I turned to my left, and who was walking out but Joe Torre.

Torre is a professional baseball executive, former player, manager, and television color commentator. He has served as a special assistant to the Commissioner of Baseball since 2020. He previously served in the capacity of Major League Baseball’s chief baseball officer from 2011 to 2020. Torre ranks fifth all-time in MLB history with 2,326 wins as a manager. With 2,342 hits during his playing career, Torre is the only major leaguer to achieve 2,000 hits as a player and 2,000 wins as a manager. From 1996 to 2007, he managed the New York Yankees and guided the team to six American League pen-

nants and four World Series championships.

In layman’s terms, he’s baseball royalty. And he was just standing next to me like it was any other Sunday.

Admittedly, as a baseball fan, I was pretty starstruck.

I’m still not sure how I’ve gotten so lucky.

Prior to the game, I headed up to the stands to find my seat (another perk of the media credentials is that I get my own seat in the press rows!)

From there, I was able to snap a few good pictures and enjoy the game.

Due to early morning obligations, I did have to slip out prior to the end of the game, which is a shame, but I can’t say enough good things about the event.

From the first pitch tradition of having one player for each Little Leagueteam throw from the outfield to the pitcher’s mound to seeing all the kids getting to interact with their MLB heroes — it’s just an incredible event. And I’m grateful that I get to enjoy my own little piece of it.

Jean L. Miller Strouse celebrated her 100th birthday on August 20th, 2024. She was born and raised in Tylersville, Pa. Jean was one of 6 children. She remembered walking to school every day and being at piano lessons at 7:00 a.m. Jean also played the trombone in the Sugar Valley Marching Band. After high school she played softball. Jean is currently the only living member of the class of 1942.

In 1944 she remembers riding the train to South Dakota to marry her husband Ray Richard Strouse before he left for World War II. Together the couple had five sons, Monty, Ronald, Kerry, Paul and Kim, and two daughters, Spring and Heather.

Jean loved to sew and make clothing for her children. She also enjoyed crocheting and made hundreds of Afghans, baby blankets, sweaters, and booties. Her quilts were donated to all newborn babies at Lock Haven Hospital.

Among other interests, Jean did “clown ministry” for several years, and was the church pianist and choir director for many years at Clintondale United Methodist Church.

Jean traveled to the Holy Lands and was baptized in the Jordan River. At age 80 she went white water rafting in Alaska and loved every minute of it.

Besides her children, Jean has 18 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, and 21 great great grandchildren.

Jean attributes her long life to never drinking or smoking and always attending church.

Find Fun Things To Do This Fall

County Hall Corner Great Leap Backwards

By Larry Stout

he exciting “Vibe Campaign” of Vice President Kamala Harris was best outed by the popular author and columnist Mark Steyn when he identified it as the “Vibe as Veil Campaign” because it did not seem to have anything behind it. All of her speeches centered around the dangerous, no-good, very bad former President Donald Trump. But on August 16th, she finally pushed the pause button on that mantra and actually spelled out her first policy position. If elected President, she will call for federal control of food and product prices, which she promised to launch within the first 100 days of office.

The critic in me suspects that this proposal might have something to do with the latest Consumer Price Index data that day, highlighting the pain Americans feel every time they buy groceries and pretty much everything else. In 2021, the inflation rate was 1.2 percent when the Biden-Harris administration took office, and in the next few years, it kept going up, eventually hitting 9.1 percent, the highest level in forty years. Real average weekly earnings fell in July. Unemployment is up. Median household income is down. Credit card debt has hit a record high. All this begged a response of some sort.

It is good that the Vice President recog-

nizes how inflation needs to be dealt with. However, she could not have picked a more unpopular idea than government price controls. In the history of bad ideas, this one is right up there. Even the New York Times and Washington Post, which generally carry water for the Democratic Party, came out against this idea. The American Institute for Economic Research provided the most comprehensive “Oh NO” in their article, “4,000 Years of Failed Price Controls,” which showed how rulers in Mesopotamia, Athens, Rome, and elsewhere attempted to control prices with utterly ruinous results. In recent years, it has been tried worldwide: Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, France, South Korea, Israel, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and yes, even the United States of America. In 1971, President Nixon implemented wage and price controls to combat inflation. In every instance, price

controls were initially helpful in preventing inflation from growing higher, yet they very quickly disrupted the system, leading to market distortions. Nixon held on too long (like a gambler who keeps thinking the next hand will be a winner), and after three years, he finally gave in because of his impeachment problems. Countries such as Israel and the United Kingdom followed the US in wage and price controls in the 1980s and were able to find that sweet spot to make it work by getting in and out quickly.

But we had a dry run with the COVID shutdowns to show how intoxicating this control can be to elected officials such as Vice Presidental candidate Governor Tim Walz, who issued an executive order on March 25, 2020, that did not just shut down

almost all commerce in the state but also prohibited any resident of Minnesota from leaving his or her house without cause. The “two weeks to flatten the curve” propaganda turned Governor Walz into ruling by decree for the following 15 months. And for extra measure, he set up a snitch line so that Minnesotans could phone in anonymously and rat out their neighbors if they violated Walz’s “stay at home” order.

Restrictions are part and parcel of government control. My wife and I saw this vividly when we were living in the USSR as missionaries. The Soviet Union controlled every aspect of life. We did not live as foreigners who had special places where they could live and shop for items. Instead, we wanted to live like the locals. This meant we trav-

eled by public transportation as cars were ridiculously expensive and poorly designed, and gasoline was over $8.00 per gallon. That is if you could get it at all, as gasoline and almost everything else was rationed. We traded our alcohol, cigarette, and gasoline coupons for flour, sugar, oatmeal, and other food items. Ironically, actual money was not as valuable as these ration coupons.

It was also especially important to have connections. If we wanted to get a nice cut of beef, we would have to start by bartering our alcohol and cigarette coupons from the past two months to a clothing store manager who happened to be good friends with the store manager of a large appliance store who would help us acquire a radio that the butcher at the farmers’ market wanted for

his oldest son’s birthday, who would then get us our nice cut of beef.

The United States has prospered through free enterprise, an economic system in which private business operates in competition and free of state control as much as possible. Of course, it is not a perfect system, and throughout our history, there have been ‘robber barons’ and monopolies that needed to be reined in, but by and large, free enterprise has brought prosperity to our country.

No one said it better than Nobel Laureate economist Milton Friedman, who stated, “The society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither. The society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great measure of both.”

sub stations from throughout the state.

Preparations that are being made for placing a Pennsylvania Highway Patrol unit, which will have district headquarters at 1833 East Third Street, into operation are progressing rapidly.

Captain J.N. Danton, commanding officer, has been in the office most of the week making preparations and has discovered that the organization of the troop should be completed by September 14. Sub stations are already in operation.

The command of Captain Danton will have two lieutenants who will conduct training and three sergeants who will serve under them and oversee the enlisted troopers. The district garage will be located at the Williamsport station. Work on the garage will begin immediately.

Eighty-two men are to be assigned to cover the territory assigned to Troop D when it reaches its full complement.

The officers who will be responsible for the training of the new men will come from other stations, and

Captain Danton explained the troop is being organized to meet the patrol-needs of this part of the state. He said formerly the state was divided in half but the workload became too great and the state has since divided into five troops. Substations have been operating under the other troops previously. These sub stations will now come under the jurisdiction of the new Williamsport troop.

Some “Epexegesis” … for Your Reading in the “Arvo”

By Joseph W. Smith III

While Webb’s Weird Words has been looking at pronunciation for the past several weeks, we now return to our regular bailiwick: oddball terms and funny-sounding vocab. Since this column dropped the ball on Webb’s recent LLWS theme (if you’ll pardon the pun), we’ll make a slight connection here in this column: Our now-childless household enjoyed Little-League-loving guests last week — a family of nine, making things a bit more lively than usual in this Loyalsock empty nest. So, I asked two of the kids — Cora and Alanna, ages 8 and 9 — to make a selection from my sprawling word-list for the next two columns.

Here’s the first half of what they chose:

Arvo (AR-vo, noun) – Australian slang for afternoon

As we saw in our pronunciation studies, the F and V sounds are almost identical, being formed with upper teeth against lower lip — but the F is “unvoiced.”

But how the R got into this Aussie term remains a little unclear to me.

Cholla (CHOLE-uh, noun) – Originally a Spanish word — which is not too surprising, given the number of terms in that language which end with -lla (tortilla, quesadilla, mantilla, etc.) And so of course, cholla can also be pronounced CHAW-ya.

According to dictionary.com, this is a tree-like cactus of Mexico and the American Southwest, “with knobby outgrowths and yellow spines.”

Epexegesis (ep-ek-suh-JEE-sis, noun) – For folks like me who love theology and Bible study, exegesis

See WEIRD WORDS on Page 20

WEIRD WORDS

know what it means!

is a fairly familiar word; it has to do with explaining and unpacking a verse or passage for clarity and application (e.g., “an exegesis of 1 Corinthians 13”). Ep(i)- is a common Greek prefix with a variety of meanings: over, upon, near, before, after, etc.; it is found in such words as epigram, epidermis, epitaph, epistle and epitome.

Here, the prefix and base-word combine for this meaning: an added word, phrase or sentence that explains the meaning of a previous word, phrase or sentence.

According to rhetoric.byu.edu, it is often preceded by “that is to say.”

And the same site offers this cool example: “I’m afraid we’ve run up against the bamboo curtain — that is to say, an economic and political barrier in the East as real as the iron curtain has been in the West.”

I love that sample sentence because I’d never even heard the term “bamboo curtain.” But now, thanks to this handy epexegesis, we all

Fribbling (FRIB-ling, verb) –Acting in a foolish or silly manner; fiddling around (base verb fribble, of course). While this word appears to be invented, it may be related to frivolous. Once again picking up from our pronunciation studies: Note that the letters V and B are both made with the lips, and thus sometimes interchangeable. (See, for example, how our word beverage is related to the Spanish beber — and to our own imbibe.)

Geum (JEE-um, noun) – Herbaceous plant found in many parts of the world; also called avens Groat (GROTE, noun) – Folks fond of old British novels might recognize this as a monetary unit in England; used from the 13th to the 17th century, it had a value of four British pennies — and thus, it was thus sometimes used disparagingly: “Not worth a groat.”

We’ll do the rest of Alanna and Cora’s list next week!

9-11 MEMORIAL COALITION

The 9-11 Memorial Ride is fast approaching and for the 1st time in the 23 years this event has been happening, we need to appeal to our local community for donations.

We are a non-profit organization that manages to fund the event each year without asking for registration fees from riders participating in the ride, this is a free event. We survive primarily on the sale of our t-shirts and other merchandise on the day of the ride and a few donations from local businesses and organizations.

This year we made the decision to use a different vendor for our t-shirts to support a local business. We paid up front and had a signed contract for delivery on a specific date. Unfortunately, that date has come and gone, with no t-shirts, no refund of the money we paid nor any communication from the owner.

With this being said, we need to quickly re-order t-shirts from another vendor, so we have them for the ride. Because the money has not been returned, and we do not operate with a large budget, as we give back to the local community any surplus we make, it is with a reluctant heart, we are appealing to the many loyal supporters that help us make this event happen every year with unprecedented patriotism, pride and reverence in remembering and honoring those that gave their lives on that tragic day.

To make a donation: www.911memorialcoalition.org/donations to donate through PayPal.

Happy Labor Day

There are people in this country Who work hard every day

Not for fame or fortune do they strive

But the fruits of their labor Are worth more than their pay And it’s time a few of them were recognized.

Hello, Detroit auto workers, Let me thank you for your time

You work a forty-hour week for a livin’,

Just to send it on down the line

towns

Working together like spokes inside a wheel

They keep this country turning around.

Hello, Kansas wheat field farmer,

Let me thank you for your time

You work a forty hour week for a livin’,

Just to send it on down the line

Hello, West Virginia coal miner, Let me thank you for your time

Hello, Pittsburgh steel mill workers, Let me thank you for your time

You work a forty hour week for a livin’, Just to send it on down the line.

You work a forty-hour week for a livin’, Just to send it on down the line.

This is for the one who swings the hammer,

Driving home the nail

For the one behind the counter, Ringing up the sale

For the one who fights the fires, The one who brings the mail For everyone who works behind the scenes.

You can see them every morning In the factories and the fields

In the city streets and the quiet country

This is for the one who drives the big rig, Up and down the road

For the one out in the warehouse, Bringing in the load

For the waitress, the mechanic, The policeman on patrol

For everyone who works behind the scenes.

With a spirit you can’t replace with no machine

Hello America, let me thank you for your time…

Song: 40 Hour Week; by Alabama

Ithought these song lyrics were so perfect for this week. Just thanking Americans for their hard work each day. Labor Day is about the achievement of American workers. Alabama sang it right when they made this song back in 1986. Geesh, I was only just a baby! I grew up listening to Alabama, and this one always was one of my favorites.

Thank you to all the American workers who put their time in each week. Each one of you does an important job, no matter what it is. If you don’t feel appreciated, you should be! It takes everyone working together as a team to make businesses flow. Thank you for working your part. Wishing you all a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

Southwestern BBQ Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

• 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce

• 3 cups cubed cooked chicken- - (I used a rotisserie.)

• 1 cup BBQ sauce

• 1 can Kernel corn

• 1 can black beans (rinsed well)

• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup crushed tortilla chips

Optional:

• 2 tomatoes, diced

• 1 avocado, diced

• 1/2 red onion, diced

Dressing:

• 1/2 cup mayo

• 1/2 cup sour cream

Or to substitute, you could use 1 cup of GREEK yogurt

• 2 teaspoons honey

• 2 teaspoons vinegar

• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional if you don’t like garlic)

• 2 heaping teaspoons taco seasoning

• Salt and pepper for that little extra something

Directions:

1. Take the chicken apart while it’s still hot. Place in a big bowl and mix in BBQ sauce. Then place in the refrigerator for a few hours.

2. Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl except the chips.

3. Whisk the dressing ingredients together.

4. Spoon dressing over salad, then give everything a big toss to combine. Add chips right before ready to eat so they stay crunchy!

Very Different Roads

e are Travelers — and there are two roads on the map. One leads to Death, the other to Life. You are traveling one of those roads right now.

We have already established that we are born traveling the road to Death. By the way, this is the third article in a series called Two Roads. Previous articles are always available at www.webbweekly.com.

Tim Hartzell

ly. This makes Death seem a long way off to young travelers.

But as time passes, travelers are forced into inner lanes where the speed increases. Rest stops and exit ramps are nearly impossible to access from these fast-moving inner lanes. The traveling is intense as the downhill grade increases and mile markers fly by. Fear and burnout become the norm.

The only other option is the road to Life. These roads are very different, so let’s take a closer look at each one. The Road to Death

This road is easy to find — because we’re born on it. It is wide and worn smooth. It’s like a twelve-lane superhighway circling a major city. It has mile markers to keep track of the years. The older you get, the faster they pass, and each one is a stark reminder that Death is getting closer.

The traffic is generally bumper-tobumper, but since everyone is going in the same direction, the speed is always fast. At first, the grade of the road is imperceptibly downhill, and the outer lanes travel rather slow-

Travelers on the road to Death tend to haul a lot of stuff. Why not? Having stuff makes some travelers look more important and successful than others — even though the destination never changes. There are many billboards on the road to Death, but they all drive the same message: Eat, drink, and be merry — for tomorrow, we die. The Joneses, the proverbial family who always have more and better, lead the way. Everyone on the road is trying to keep up with them. This constant pressure gives the road to Death its popular nickname: The Rat Race. Since no one is able to keep up

See FAITH on Page 30

with the Joneses, life on the road to Death feels meaningless. Read Ecclesiastes 1 and 2 and see if it resonates with how you’re feeling as you travel.

e Road to Life is road is hard to nd because it looks more like a path. It’s just not what a traveler is expecting. ankfully, there are fellow travelers who help others nd the entrance.

It’s kind of rocky, and there’s a lot to trip over, so you’ve got to watch every step.

It’s not crowded. Oh, there are a few

people up ahead and a few coming behind, but for the most part, it’s just you and your closest traveling companions. e lack of wear can make the road hard to follow. is makes having a guide, map, light, compass, and traveling companions important. We’ll talk more about those in an upcoming article.

e grade on the road to Life is gentle but always uphill — and the wind is always in your face. You can’t coast on this road. It demands work. at’s why this road is not a popular choice.

Occasionally, the grade is steep, requiring all you’ve got to make the climb. Travelers on this road make sacri ces to keep their backpacks light — another unpopular choice. Travelers on this road have time and room to breathe. As they climb, the air gets lighter and cleaner. ey also enjoy the reward of elevation as they take in ever-expanding vistas. It is from these high places they gain perspective. ey can see where they’ve been — and where they’re going. e former gives them a sense of direction and accomplishment, the latter a clear view of the majestic peaks yet to come. e road to Life is a challenging road, but it is good, meaningful, and hopeful.

e two roads do have some things in common. We’ll talk about those in next week’s article, Traveling Companions

So, have you sought out a group of traveling companions? I mentioned in article one that we were not designed to travel alone, and in this article, the need for traveling companions. e enemy’s go-to strategy for keeping us on the road to Death is convincing us we are alone. e enemy points at the road to Death and says, “Look! Everyone is on that road; everyone is doing it; you’ll have a lot

of friends on the road to Death. at’s where all the fun is.” It’s a lie. It’s true that the road to Death is crowded, but every Traveler on it feels alone. It’s like the people who have thousands of “friends” on social media, but when they need a friend, they can’t nd one. On the road to Death, true friendship is a mirage. On the road to Life, you must have traveling companions. Listen to the wise counsel found in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12,

Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? ough one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

So, get a group. e Law of Intentionality teaches us that intention is more productive than chance. Be intentional. Find several traveling companions and get together weekly to build relationships as you discuss these Faith Conversation articles. I have my group. I pray you will put in the e ort to develop yours. It’s worth it.

Five Notable Games on the 2024 College Football Schedule

College football fans spend a good portion, if not all, of the summer anticipating the return of their favorite sport. Each college football season is full of excitement, and the coming campaign is sure to provide its share of thrills. As summer winds down, fans anxious for the return of their favorite sport can look ahead to these ve notable games on the 2024 college football schedule.

1. Western Kentucky at Alabama, Sat-

urday, August 31: ough this game may not rival other opening week contests in terms of competitiveness, it marks the dawn of a new era for the Crimson Tide. All eyes will be on the Tide’s new head coach, Kalen DeBoer, who replaces recently retired legend Nick Saban. Saban coached at Alabama from 2007 to 2023, winning six national championships during his run in Tuscaloosa. ose are big shoes to ll, and DeBoer will undoubtedly be looking to make a state-

ment in his debut.

2. Notre Dame at Texas A&M, Saturday, August 31: For those who want something juicier during college football’s rst full weekend, this matchup between the Fighting Irish and the Aggies is sure to please. Mike Elko makes his debut as head coach of the Aggies, who are looking to turn the page a er the underwhelming Jimbo Fisher era. Elko comes from Duke, where last season he and Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman locked horns in a memorable contest that saw the Fighting Irish score the game-winning touchdown with just 31 seconds remaining.

3. Texas vs. Oklahoma (in Dallas), Saturday, October 12: College football is steeped in tradition, and the Red River Rivalry between these two programs that share a border is loaded with history. is particular installment of the rivalry is historic even before the opening kicko , as it marks the rst clash between the two schools in the newly expanded Southeastern Conference. Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian is looking to build o his team’s run to the College Football Playo a year ago, while his counterpart Brent Venables is hoping to build upon his successful rst year in Norman, during which the Sooners nished 10-3 in the program’s nal year in the Big 12 Conference.

4. Michigan at Ohio State, Saturday, November 30: Rivalries have fueled the popularity of college football, and perhaps no such feud is more heated than this annual clash between the Wolverines and the Buckeyes. Ohio State has lost three straight to the Wolverines, but the architect of two of those victories, Jim Harbaugh, is now back coaching in the National Football League. Sherrone Moore, who coached the Wolverines to a memorable 30-24 victory over Ohio State in the suspended Harbaugh’s place a season ago, takes over the program this season on the heels of the school’s rst national championship since 1997.

5. Ohio State at Oregon, Saturday, October 12: Longtime college football fans will need some time to adjust to the sport’s wildly di erent landscape in 2024, and perhaps no matchup underscores the new lay of the land better than this Big Ten clash between the Ducks and the Buckeyes. e Pac 12 is o cially a thing of the past, and the Ducks will host their new conference rival Ohio State in Eugene in early October in what promises to be an exciting, contentious clash. ese are just ve games on a 2024 college football slate that’s sure to entertain diehard fans who can’t wait for the season to kick o in late August.

Back to School Traffic Safety

Summer is winding down and that means it’s almost time for kids to go back to school!

Safe Kids wants to remind you that traffic safety is everyone’s responsibility and to follow Pennsylvania’s school bus stopping laws.

Each year, children are put in danger by drivers who pass stopped school buses. Help keep kids safe by making sure you stop at least 10 feet away from school buses that have their red lights flashing and stop arm extended.

Drivers must stop when behind a bus, meeting a bus or approaching an intersection where a bus has stopped.

Penalties for violating PA’s School Bus Stopping Law include a $250 fine: 5 points on your driving record and a 60-day

license suspension. If you have a child who rides a school bus, be sure they know: Be aware — cross with care. Wait until all traffic is stopped before stepping out onto the road. Always cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus when crossing so that the school bus driver can see you.

While on the bus, stay seated and talk quietly so that you do not distract the bus driver.

Parents and caregivers who drive their kids to school should make sure everyone in the vehicle is buckled up, no matter how short the commute is. Children under the age of thirteen should be seated in the back seat when possible.

This message is brought to you by Safe Kids PA, Lycoming County Partner and the Lycoming County Health Improvement Coalition.

“Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves” by Nicola Twilley

c.2024, Penguin Press

$30.00

387 pages

What’s for dinner?

The answer to that can be gotten by opening your refrigerator door. Are the makings of a salad there? The ingredients for a recipe you’ve been dying to try? Cold OJ, eggs, leftover pizza, or dim sum? OK,

now, shut the door — we’re not refrigerating the neighborhood, you know — then settle in with “Frostbite” by Nicola Twilley and see how those things are just chillin’.

At twenty degrees below zero, it’s hard to keep employees.

That’s because, as Nicola Twilley learned while researching her book, it’s difficult to work in those conditions. You can try to stay warm but eventually your fingers fumble, your nose runs, your brain fogs, and you can get physically sick. Safety becomes an issue then, as she knows from her short stint at a frozen-food storage warehouse in California, and the average person quits

quick.

You could blame it on science.

Even philosopher Rene Descartes knew that cold is “the absence of heat,” meaning that there is no such thing as “the creation of cold.” To make a space cold, you must take the warmth from the space and move it elsewhere. Simple, right?

Not so. It’s only been less than a century since refrigerators moved into the average home and cold-storage was “conquered.”

Until then, ice harvesting was big business in the upper parts of the northern U.S. and keeping food decay at bay was a challenge.

And yet, ask where we’d be without the “cold chain,” and the answer is mixed.

Our ancestors knew how to keep things cool to stave off bacteria, and how to dry or otherwise store food, long-term. Still, says Twilley, certain nutritional diseases were almost seasonal, due to a lack of a variety of fresh foods at certain times of the year.

Conversely, we eat healthier now, more or less. Thanks to refrigeration, the average American’s height, weight, health, eating habits, and “family dynamics” have altered. Refrigeration has affected our daily lives and homes. And, says Twilley, “it has reconfigured global economics and politics.”

Bet you’re wishing you had a nice cold drink by your elbow, huh? Yep, and that’s generally only possible due to one thing. Read about it in “Frostbite.”

kitchen — and she takes a look at that hum, too. It’s a lively tale that also asks us to peek into both past and future, taking readers on a trip through an early 20th century pantry to a designer kitchen to grocery stores to a Rwandan desert and an American landfill. Reading it is like whipping open the fridge doors and finding a feast.

From ancient root cellars to Martha Stewart’s dozens of refrigerators in multiple kitchens, author Nicola Twilley explains how everything including the Earth has been changed by a big box that hums in the

For sure, this book will make a cook or foodie very, very happy. It’ll speak to history and pop culture buffs and scientists, too. If you’re up for a fun read this summer, look for “Frostbite.”

UPMC Physician: Stay in the Game by Preventing Throwing Injuries

John M. Kunkel, D.O. UPMC Orthopaedic Care

One of the most unique and explosive motions in sports is the overhead throwing motion. Throwing a baseball, softball, or football overhead places extremely high stresses on the shoulder and elbow. In order to put velocity into a thrown ball, power is generated from the ground with the lower body, transferred through the core into the arm,

ultimately propelling the ball forward. There are several bodily areas throughout that chain, called the kinetic chain, that can become injured. The most common areas of injury for a thrower are the elbow or shoulder. The most common throwing injuries to the shoulder and elbow include:

Elbow:

• Epicondylitis or “tennis elbow”

• Medial epicondyle apophysitis or “Little League elbow”

• Forearm muscle strains

• UCL (ulnar collateral ligament) or “Tommy John ligament” injuries

• Ulnar nerve neuritis

• Valgus extension overload

Shoulder:

• SLAP (superior labrum anterior to posterior) labrum tear

• Rotator cuff injury

• Posterior impingement

• Injury to the growth plate “Little League shoulder”

Most throwing injuries are a result of a weak link somewhere in the kinetic chain. That weak link then places increased stress on the structures downstream. The weak link could be improper mechanics, a lack of strength, lack of conditioning, or lack of motion in one of the areas within the chain. For example, many throwing elbow injuries are often caused by improper mechanics or limitations in the shoulder that then place increased stress on the elbow.

power and velocity from the ground with your legs, transfer it efficiently and safely through your core, and into your arm and the ball.

2. The second step is proper conditioning. This includes arm conditioning with proper throwing programs to slowly build up and condition the muscles used in the throwing motion. This is why spring training for Major League Baseball takes six weeks — and most major leaguers begin their conditioning well before spring training starts. You set yourself up for injury if you forgo this process and jump into game speed with max effort throwing before your body is ready and conditioned to do so.

As an athlete, gaining knowledge about throwing injuries is only half the battle — the other half lies in understanding and implementing effective measures to prevent these injuries. Throwing injury prevention strategies are crucial for ensuring longevity in the sport and safeguarding athletes’ physical health. These strategies are included below.

1. The first step to preventing throwing injuries is ensuring proper mechanics. Seek training from qualified coaches who can teach you how to generate

3. The third step is having a proper arm care routine. This includes strengthening/conditioning the muscles of the arm as well as stretching. Strengthening the arm includes strengthening the muscles around the scapula (shoulder blade) which are responsible for moving the shoulder blade and keeping proper posture throughout the throwing motion. It’s also important to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles which are small muscles that help stabilize and move the shoulder throughout its range of motion. These muscles need to be intentionally strengthened. The forearm muscles also need to be strengthened and conditioned — especially the flexor/pronator muscles on the medial (inside) elbow and forearm. The flexor/

pronator muscles are the main stabilizer of the medial elbow during the throwing motion. The back-up stabilizer to the medial elbow is the UCL or “Tommy John ligament.” When the flexor/ pronator muscles begin to tire, more stress is placed on the UCL making it more vulnerable to injury.

Stretching for the throwing arm is focused mainly on the shoulder. Within the shoulder joint, throwing is an incredibly violent maneuver. In order to put velocity on a thrown ball, the shoulder has to externally rotate (the hand and ball rotates behind you) beyond anatomical norms into the cocked position, before explosively rotating forward when you release the ball. In order to accommodate and allow for this incredible amount of external rotation, the structures in the anterior (or front) of the throwing shoulder stretch out. With this increased flexibility in external rotation, however, comes increased tightness in the posterior (or back) of the shoulder. This results in a loss of internal rotation. So, a shoulder that has adapted to throwing will have increased external rotation and decreased internal rotation compared to a non-throwing shoulder.

Unfortunately, over time, this adaptation can begin causing significant injuries and pain if left unchecked. When the difference of internal rotation between the throwing shoulder

and non-throwing shoulder becomes greater than 20 to 25 degrees, known as GIRD (Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit), it can begin causing impingement on the labrum and biceps tendon causing pain, SLAP labrum tears, and/ or impingement pain and injury to the rotator cuff. Proper arm care stretching is focused on stretching the back of your shoulder to increase your internal rotation and prevent it from becoming 20 to 25 degrees different than your non-throwing shoulder.

While athletes may pride themselves on handling pain, the old saying “no pain, no gain” is often bad advice for throwers. Any throwing athlete knows arm soreness is a normal part of throwing. However, sharp pain while throwing, or any pain that does not improve after few days of rest is not normal and you should be evaluated by a sports medicine specialist who understands the throwing motion. Often by intervening early and applying some of these strategies you can prevent further damage and avoid significant loss in playing time.

tudying is vital to academic performance. At the dawn of a new school year, students get a fresh start to improve upon or continue strong their study habits. Teachers will be rolling out their curricula, and that may feel overwhelming. However, optimizing study skills can boost confidence in school and in areas outside of the classroom. These study tips can put students on a path for success. Find your optimal study space. The ideal study spot varies from student to student. Some need a quiet nook in the library, while others may prefer the sounds of nature while seated on a park bench. There’s no one-size-fits-all study location, so students may need to experiment with what works best for them. Also, The Princeton Review says that a student doesn’t need just one study space. He or she may find a change of scenery can prompt the brain to retain information better.

Devise a study plan. Setting goals and a plan of attack allows students to space out their studying over several days. This can reduce stress and make the task seem less cumbersome.

Avoid cram sessions. Devising a study plan is better than cramming the night before a test. The American Psychological Association says students may perform well on a test for which they’ve crammed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve truly learned the material. Studying with a goal of retaining the material long-term is important.

Learn how to actively study. Some students think that studying requires reading over the material or highlighting text. Active studying involves engaging with the material and constructing meaning from the text. One way to engage with the material is to try acting as the teacher and explaining concepts to another person. Creating a study guide or even concept maps also helps one actively study.

Balance intensity with laid-back study approaches. Students may procrastinate with their studying because they don’t want to devote a lot of time to the task. Instead, they can do shorter sessions mixed with longer sessions of studying. In fact, The Learning Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill says shorter, intensive study time can be more effective than drawn-out studying.

Ask for help. Asking a teacher or another student for help is not a sign of weakness. It’s a good strategy to develop early on. The longer one waits, the more difficult it may be to catch up on material. Asking for help goes hand-in-hand with setting up a buddy system for studying. Study groups enable students to go over material together, which can provide different perspectives and help the material resonate more effectively.

Students will spend a lot of time studying while in school. Learning how to do it effectively is vital to fulfilling one’s academic potential.

Library Receives Grant to Enhance Plunketts Creek Township ‘Link’

The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., recently was the recipient of $4,500 in grant funding from the Plunketts Creek Township Foundation Fund at the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania.

The funds will be used to enhance the Barbours Link Library and purchase new computers for staff and public use. Funding also will support the purchase of new materials for all ages, additions to the board and card game collection, and new furnishings.

The Plunketts Creek Township Foundation Fund was founded in 1944 to “promote and maintain a charitable and benevolent organization in Plunketts Creek Township to assist the needy and to foster the moral, educational, recreational and social interest of the people living in and adjacent to the said township.”

The James V. Brown Library, in collaboration with Plunketts Creek Township, operates a small satellite library in Barbours as part of the “Link Library” rural outreach. Located within the former Barbours Schoolhouse, the Link Library provides materials ranging from early childhood literacy to new releases, pop-

ular bestsellers, DVDs, public computers, and free Internet access.

Labor Day provides an opportunity to enjoy one last long weekend with fun in the sun, barbecues, pool parties, and vacations. Although summer ocially ends on Sunday, September 22, 2024, Labor Day typically marks the uno cial close of the summer entertaining and recreation season. As individuals and families prepare to re up the grill or oat in the pool one last time, they are reminded to heed key tips to stay safe and healthy.

Fireworks may have been components of celebrations all summer long, but it is always best to leave reworks displays to the professionals. Also, sparklers burn at extremely high temperatures (approximately 2,000 F) which is hot enough to melt some metals. ey’re not recommended for children to handle.

Driving while under the in uence of drugs or alcohol can be a recipe for

injuries or fatalities. Remember, just because it may be legal in some areas to use recreational marijuana, doesn’t mean it is legal to drive under the inuence of it. Individuals should leave the driving to a designated driver or a taxi or rideshare service if they plan to imbibe or use marijuana.

Water-related injuries and deaths are highest among young children. e U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says drownings continue to be the leading cause of unintentional death among children ages 1 to 4. Extreme caution should be used in and around pools and other bodies of water whenever children are present. When swimming publicly, swim only where lifeguards are on duty.

Even though summer is winding down, the risk for skin cancer remains elevated. Continue to apply sunscreen when heading outdoors for Labor Day fun.

No one wants to leave a Labor Day barbecue with food poisoning. All party hosts should remember to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold while entertaining and to remem-

ber to cook foods to the correct internal temperature. Even if a grilled steak looks charred on the outside, that does not necessarily mean it is well-done in the middle. Verify temperatures with a meat thermometer.

Even the most well-behaved pets may become skittish on holidays like Labor Day, when there are many loud noises and unfamiliar sights and smells. It is best to have a pet microchipped in the event he or she gets out of the home or yard when reworks, thunder or loud crowds scare them o . Shelters or veterinarians can scan the chip to identify the pet’s owner.

Labor Day closes out the summer season with a bang. It is important to continue to be safe while enjoying one last hurrah.

Recognizing Vision Problems in Kids

Although vision loss is typically associated with aging, people of all ages can experience issues that contribute to diminished vision. Sometimes parents may be unaware that their children have low vision or other issues compromising their sight, particularly when children are too young to verbalize their impairments. e Mayo Clinic notes additional symptoms, such as squinting while reading or holding reading material closely may be more apparent.

Parents, caregivers and even teachers can keep an eye out for these symptoms to determine if kids are having vision problems.

may experience di culty keeping track of words while reading.

Eye rubbing: Prevent Blindness says rubbing tired eyes can be an indicator of a vision problem, as can tilting one’s head or thrusting the head forward.

Feeling dizzy: Some people with vision problems feel dizzy or out of sorts at times.

Blurriness: A child may complain of things being blurry, whether that means words in a book or on a smart screen in the classroom.

Headaches: Straining to see better can cause headaches. If a child starts complaining of frequent headaches, an eye exam may be in order.

Attention span: If your child quickly loses interest in games or other lengthy activities, it may be that poor vision is making it more di cult to fully participate.

Losing place: Someone with vision issues

Physical symptoms: Sometimes vision problems may be apparent because you can see there is something amiss. Eyes that don’t line up, eyes that appear crossed, redness in the eyes or rims, or red, in amed eyes can be symptomatic of a vision problem.

Eye exam results:

Eye doctors conduct a series of tests during an eye exam.

Eye exam results: Eye doctors coneye exam.

During an automatic refraction test, visual acuity can be measured when an autorefractor shines light into the eye and measures the eye’s response. It’s commonly used with children who cannot communicate what they’re seeing and can help diagnose vision trouble.

Vision issues can present themselves in children and not be as readily apparent to the adults in their lives. Familiarizing oneself with certain symptoms is a way to diagnose vision trouble earlier.

Fall Photo – Engagement Pictures

If you’ve had an amazing summer of love and have said yes to the proposal, it’s time to spread the good news. What better way to share your joy than with an amazing engagement photo? Fall is an ideal time to get engagement pictures taken and shared before the spooky season and holiday rush. Engagement photos not only put your friends and family on notice of your big life changes ahead, but they are also a chance to show off your personal style. Here are a few ideas on creating authentic yet stylish outfits for your official en-

gagement picture.

There is a trend now for brides to wear white for all of their bridal fashion. From engagement party/pictures to showers, to rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, and then during the honeymoon.

Another trend is to have a consistent bridal style that runs throughout each look during the course of wedding-related events.

For instance, if you’re planning a super romantic wedding, you may want to have dressier options for the pictures and parties before the ceremony for both you

and your groom. Or, if you’re having a more bohemian-style wedding, you may take a more relaxed approach to couples dressing for the engagement, shower, and rehearsal dinner.

In general, you’ll want to think of the mood you hope to capture and go from there. That mood could be dictated by location or backdrop. It could be a “reenactment” of your first meeting or date. It could represent your shared interests and

values. Here are a few approaches to creating an engagement photo style you can bring to your wedding.

Consider taking a more retro route by leaning into ladylike elegance — the fitand-flare silhouette of the 50s makes for memorable engagement shots. If you’re going the wearing white route, check out ModCloth’s Sheerly Blessed in Bliss dress in ivory with tone-on-tone polka dots. Your groom can slick back his hair and wear a simple suit to match. Or go for something bold in red like Kohl’s 24Seven Comfort Apparel Three-Quarter Fit and Flare Mini. Have your groom match with suspenders and a bowtie for some old-timey charm.

Speaking of old-timey, going with

something girly and romantic almost always hits the mark for engagement photos. The current cottage-core trend speaks easily and unexpectedly to bridal style. For instance, a puff-sleeved or milkmaid-style dress is both feminine and amorous. Zoe and Claire’s Pleated Tiered Midi from Nordstrom features fluttery short sleeves with an empire waist and a tiered pleated skirt that is graceful yet girlish. Cider’s 100% Cotton Solid Ruched Bubble Hem Midi is also romantic but a bit more casual and figure-flattering.

If your shoot location involves water, be it a river, lake, or pond, then lean into the setting with a nautical look. I’m not suggesting sailor suits or anchor prints, but something subtle like navy and white stripes. J.Crew Factory’s Striped poplin midi dress comes with a sash belt and ruffle hem to really pop in pictures. He can easily coordinate with a navy polo and pressed khakis. For something a bit more beachy-flavored (especially if you’re planning a destination wedding at a beach/resort), check out the selection of dresses from Cabana Life and woven shirts from Salt Life for him. The great thing about looks from these brands is that you can repurpose for that destination and honeymoon.

Dresses may not be up your style alley, and you’re thinking of a more relaxed mood for your pictures. You can certainly wear separates, even jeans, if that’s

your vibe. However, you want to pick polished pieces and steer clear of overly busy patterns.

For fall, I love the idea of cream knit like L.L. Bean’s Cotton Ragg sweater. This textured piece will pair nicely with dark wash jeans and boots, perfect for an outdoor woodsy setting. He can pick up a sweater for himself in either another neutral or a shade that speaks to your wedding colors for a coordinated but casual photo.

Another fun alternative to dresses is jumpsuits. A sleek one-piece is right in line if your wedding style veers toward a sophisticated aesthetic. I love the collection of jumpsuits available on Rent the Runway. The great thing with renting pieces is that you can have a more eclectic variety of options without breaking the bank. You can sport a designer outfit that retails for several hundred dollars for a fraction of the cost, with some rentals being as low as $35. They even have a “For the Bride” section on their website. Now, you may not know what mood you want or have yet to decide on your wedding style. No big deal; there’s time for that later. You’re excited and in love and ready to shout it from the rooftops of social media and save-the-date announcements! Whatever you choose to wear should feel worthy of such a momentous occasion and make you feel beautiful. Also, have him get a haircut two weeks before your photo appointment.

“A Race of Peeping Toms”: “Rear Window” Turns 70

lfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window — one of that director’s most consummately brilliant and entertaining films — turns 70 this year.

Fathom Events honors the occasion with a special screening of the 1954 masterpiece on Wednesday, August 28th at AMC in Williamsport — accompanied by commentary from critic Leonard Maltin.

Whether or not you’re able to make it, here are some facts and trivia about Hitchcock’s famed crowd-pleaser — in which a wheelchair bound Manhattan man comes to suspect that an across-the-way neighbor has bumped off his wife.

The movie stars James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter and Wendell Corey. It was the second of four films Stewart made with Hitch — and one of three for Kelly. In fact, that lovely star was set to do a fourth when Hitchcock wanted her for 1964’s Marnie; but as a newly crowned princess, Kelly ultimately decided against playing a kleptomaniac.

Rear Window is based on the story “It Had to Be Murder” by veteran crime writer Cornell Woolrich — working under the pen name William Irish. Wool-

rich tales also inspired Francois Truffaut’s The Bride Wore Black (1968) and a terrific 1949 sleeper called The Window, in which a boy witnesses a murder while looking through a window — very similar to this later Hitchcock gem.

The 1998 TV remake of Rear Window, starring wheelchair-bound Christopher Reeve, really falls flat; but it does feature a clever reference to the story’s original author: One character attended Cornell University, and another works for Woolrich.

Neither Kelly’s character — society girl Lisa Fremont — nor Todd’s nurse appear in the original story.

The Oscar-winning screenplay for Rear Window was the first Hitchcock script written by John Michael Hayes, who went on to pen three other dandies for Hitch. Hayes based Fremont partly on his own fashion-model wife and partly on Grace Kelly; Hitchcock had asked him to meet with Kelly for a week before writing, so he could design the character specifically for her.

In order to work on Rear Window, Kelly turned down the female lead in On the Waterfront — a role that netted an Oscar for Eva Marie Saint (who, coincidental-

Joseph W. Smith III

ly, later starred in Hitchcock’s North by Northwest).

“We were all so crazy about Grace Kelly,” Stewart reflected. “Everybody just sat around and waited for her to come in the morning, so we could just look at her.”

The pianist neighbor in Rear Window is played by real-life composer Ross Bagdasarian — later more famous as the creator and voice of Alvin and the Chipmunks; watch for Hitchcock’s usual cameo as a clock repairman in the pianist’s apartment.

And yes, that’s Raymond Burr playing suspected murderer Lars Thorwald; Burr went on to greater fame as TV’s Perry Mason — and ironically, as the wheelchair-bound sleuth in Ironside.

Rear Window was shot on a custom-made indoor set featuring 31 apartments — many supplied with furniture, water and electricity. The largest set ever built at Paramount up to that time, it required digging down in order to accommodate the four-story building (Jefferies’s upper apartment was actually at ground level); in fact, they dug so deep that they struck water and had to build a special pump to drain the set between takes.

Except for a few brief shots involving the neighbors’ dog, Rear Window confines itself solely to what can be seen from Jeff’s apartment; it never leaves the room till he does. Hitchcock himself worked entirely from this room, radioing directions to actors in other the apartments by

means of flesh-colored earpieces.

Except for the overture — intended to capture the jazz milieu of 1950s Greenwich Village — Rear Window has no musical score. Rather, the songs — whose lyrics often comment on the action — are heard from other apartments; Hitchcock had most of these tunes and other ambient noises recorded live to capture the hollow tones of sound crossing outdoor distance.

For a taste of Hitchcock’s brilliant technique, watch the opening shot; without a single cut or line of dialog, it introduces every character in the building and also explains how Jefferies broke his leg.

Likewise, note how the other apartments all represent possibilities for Jeff and Lisa (old maid, lonely bachelor, newlyweds, henpecked husband, etc.). In fact, when Lisa bravely locates the wedding ring and signals to Jeff with it, might she be proposing marriage? After all, she’s just proven herself the adventurous type of girl Jeff claims to want!

Many scholars have also noted Rear Window’s repeated assertion that watching movies is an act of voyeurism similar to that of Jefferies himself: each window is shaped like a movie screen; the movie starts with a curtain going up on Jefferies’s window; and much of Jeff’s spying is done through a camera.

When Hitchcock was challenged about this theme, he responded, “What’s so horrible about that? Sure he’s a snooper, but aren’t we all?”

The Roving Sportsman… The Doe Harvest Debate

By Jon Pries

It was over 70 years ago that I rst set foot in the woods of Northcentral Pennsylvania and began a lifelong pursuit of hunting everything our state had to o er — from grouse and squirrels to black bears and whitetail deer.

In the 1950s, the generally accepted philosophy when it came to harvesting does was “don’t.” e majority opinion was that since does gave birth to the fawns, thus the next generation of deer, by taking a doe, you would be eliminating the chance of her giving birth to a future buck. At least, that was the generally accepted thinking at the time. However, a great deal of research has been done, and with the numerous studies that have been conducted, the needle seems to have shi ed.

tio of bucks to does and its importance in the proper management of a deer herd. Le unaddressed, the number of does will eventually far outnumber the number of bucks.

e Buck-to-Doe Ratio: rough the years, there has been more and more emphasis on the importance of a balanced or healthy ra-

With the overabundance of does, they may not all be bred during the short window of the normal rut but will be bred over a longer period of weeks. Ideally, in the spring, the birthing of fawns should occur over the shortest time period, thus enabling a more limited amount of predation. If the breeding period is spread out over a longer time frame, the degree of predation is increased dramatically. If more does are harvested, fewer are available for breeding, resulting in bucks traveling more and exposing themselves more as they search for a breeding doe. us, hunters have more opportunities to take a buck. If does are not harvested, bucks have no reason to travel excessively and expose themselves to possible harvest by a hunter.

Healthy Does Produce Healthy

Retaining Walls Pavers

Sidewalks

Fawns:

A viable habitat that o ers a wide variety of food available for deer is critical to producing and maintaining a healthy population of whitetail deer. If there is an overpopulation of deer in the surrounding habitat, the overall health of the deer population declines accordingly. With fewer deer in a particular study area, it has been shown that the result is a healthier population because there is not the negative e ect of overconsumption of the food available. Taking of does will result in an increase in fawn production and recruitment. It has been shown that a herd of just 20 healthy does will produce more fawns than 40 does that are in poor condition. ese young fawns will have a much higher survival level if their mother is healthy.

Tender and Tasty:

If you talk to enough hunters, you will get a wide variety of answers about why they hunt whitetail deer. Some are strictly buck hunters, and some of them are extremely dedicated to putting in as much time as necessary to take only a heavy-racked buck. If you are looking for game for the dinner table, such a buck will o en not be all

that palatable unless you are willing to settle for using it all for venison burger! Regarding table fare, a doe — even an older doe — will yield a much tastier and more tender variety of steaks, chops, roasts, and burgers. When it comes to which does to harvest, research has shown that taking older does is preferable to taking one in the young age group.

First, the younger does will tend to be healthier and thus produce healthier fawns. Secondly, older does, while still healthy tend to be larger and thus provide more meat for use at the dinner table. Further, taking the older and more mature does reduces the possibility of mistakenly taking a young button buck — something most hunters try to avoid.

e Beat Goes On:

e debate of whether or not to take does is one that will go on among hunters across the state. Ultimately, it all comes down to managing your herd to maximize productivity. To accomplish this goal, it is critical to maintain a highly productive habitat, keep the herd below saturation level, and attempt to achieve a good buckto-doe ratio.

The other morning, while having coffee, the subject of fishing deep came up. Now, I know that it’s hard to believe that something involving fishing would come up with a bunch of guys having morning coffee, but it does happen from time to time.

One of the guys just returned from a few days of bass fishing at the St. Lawrence River in New York state, where they caught some nice smallmouths in the deeper water. It turns out some of those bass were taken in water 40 feet deep and even at greater depths. Now, we’re not talking about fishing for cold water species here like trout and salmon but rather warm water species like bass and various panfish.

It’s no secret that when we get into these warm summer days, and water temperatures move higher, the fish will move into deeper water in search of more comfortable surroundings.

That’s not to say that you can’t catch some nice bass in the shallows at this time of year; you certainly can, but timing has a lot to do with that.

Early and late in the day may be productive, and certainly, after sunset and into the evening, it can produce some great surface activity. I’ve taken some good bass fishing a surface lure well after dark when you can barely see the lure coming across the surface, and sometimes when you hear the splash — just set the hook.

Overcast skies and rainy days may also produce some fairly shallow water action at times, but generally speaking, it’s probably more productive to seek out deeper water during the summer months.

Of course, the word “deep” has a lot to do with where you are fishing. The St. Lawrence River can reach depths of well over 200 feet deep, while the neighbor’s pond may be lucky to reach a depth of 10 or 12 feet. Most of us fishing our local Pennsylvania lakes will seldom see depths over 40 or 50 feet, so when I “go deep” here, I often fish in depths of maybe 15 to 20 feet.

A perfect example of how fishing at the right depth can affect your fishing success is when fishing for crappies. In the spring of the year, when crap-

Ken Hunter

pies move out of the deep water and into the shallow bays and shorelines to spawn in the warmer waters— especially areas with good weed and wood cover — fishing can be downright crazy. It’s not unusual under these circumstances to get numerous strikes and land dozens of fish, and we are fishing in depths of 3-10 feet.

On the other hand, fishing in these same locations in the mid-summer will not be anywhere near as productive and more likely a waste of time. Now it’s time to change depths; when summer rolls in and the spawn is over, and the water warms, the crappies move to deeper water. Come sum-

mer, my fishing buddies and I will be found scanning the depths looking for schools of crappies in water 15-20 feet deep if available.

Of course, fishing in the right place and the right time has a lot to do with your success rate, but on the other hand, fishing the right lure or rig is also a critical factor leading to success.

In addition to the right lure in the right place, it’s also important to fish the right lure with the right equipment and use the best techniques, but these are subjects to be looked into in future articles.

In the meantime, fish the deeper water during the hot summer days.

PEACHES NECTARINES

As we watched the games of this year’s Little League World Series unfold from our iHeart Media broadcast location, partner Ken Sawyer often commented favorably on the dedication of the volunteer managers and coaches and their efforts in leading their teams to Williamsport. While the Series itself is a ten-day 24-7 commitment, the time spent with their respective teams since the start of tournament play at the local level is nearly insurmountable.

Teaching baseball skills is not the only responsibility heaped upon a team’s coaching staff. They also become quasi-parents, travel guides, public relations directors, etiquette and manners consultants, and disciplinarians when such occasions arise. Most teams arriving in Williamsport include coaches with sons/daughters on the roster. This year, the Czech Republic and Mexico on the International side and Hawaii in the United States bracket were the only teams featuring coaching staffs void of parents.

As he guided his team through the electric atmosphere of the World Series, Hawaii manager Daniel Bolduc took time to share his coaching philosophy and describe the experience.

“We (assistant coaches Kevin Constantino and Ian Shimabuku) have coached together for the past ten years. We’ve always treated it the same way. The players must earn their spot on the team. Even when I was coaching when my kids were on the team, it was the same thing — you had to earn your spot. To me, that’s the philosophy that sometimes is being lost in the game. The fair way to do it is to have the players earn their spot on the team. That can be tough on the kids, but when you stick to that philosophy, every spot is open.”

The devastating fires that engulfed Lahaina were on the other side of Maui and did not affect Wailuku, where the team is based.

“We do have one boy on the team whose family moved from Lahaina. I’ve been asked several times about the fire but don’t want to comment much on it. It was a tragic thing, and we have so much respect for the people on the west side of the island whose lives were so dramatically affected, but I prefer to leave that topic alone.

“When we began the tournament, we played on Maui against three other teams. Then, we moved on to the state tournament against five other teams. Winning that tournament qualified us for the re-

gional tournament in San Bernadino.

“In San Bernadino, we were quartered in a hotel. That was a little different than here. That gave us a break. But even here in Williamsport, we have our own room in the dorms, which is nice. We don’t have to deal with all the smells!”

Bolduc’s initial reaction upon arriving for the Series was full of enthusiasm.

“This town is amazing. Everything is around baseball. It is super cool how this is set up and organized. They say it’s once in a lifetime because it is not easy to get here. You have to fight every game to get here. When you do get here, they make every kid feel like a superstar. It is just awesome.

“Being part of the Grand Slam Parade was exciting for us. We understand it is a big thing for the local community and the kids liked to see so many people along the route waving and cheering for us. We were happy to be a part of it.”

After opening wins against New Hampshire and Illinois, losses to Nevada and Florida left the Islanders short of their goal, but their eagerness and passion for the game earned the support of many local fans who came out to cheer them on.

“The kids took to the tournament well and had a blast. This whole journey has been a bit like a very long sleepover. Think about it. They are with their friends all day and all night, wake up and do it all over again. As coaches, we treat them all like our kids. As long as they are respectful, strong young men who make the right decisions, they don’t get in trouble with us.

“We are only the second team from Maui ever to make it to Williamsport. We knew some of the other Hawaii teams have done well here, but we didn’t want to put any pressure on them. We just emphasized playing one game at a time and competing. There is some luck to it, and sometimes the ball will bounce your way. Other times, luck will be with your opponent. You just hope it’s with you more times than not.”

The six-hour time difference between Williamsport and Hawaii made the team’s games a breakfast companion on the Islands.

“We had tremendous support back home. They sent videos of the kids at school losing their minds when we were playing. There were watch parties with everyone cheering for us.

“Baseball is pretty big on Maui. Because of the weather, we can play almost yearround. We have a lot of talent that maybe gets overlooked because we are so far away. We have had many players do some big things in college from Hawaii. That success helps open doors for the youth. Being here at the World Series draws interest back home, and this opportunity we experienced helps increase dreams for others to get involved in the game.”

Aloha is a Hawaiian term for greetings and farewells, expressing love, affection, and well-wishes. Those who interacted with the Maui contingent at this year’s Series can also use the term in unison as we bid them adieu.

My Radio Guys

uch has changed since the very rst Little League World Series. e national exposure these boys and girls receive nowadays is insane. ESPN and its a liates not only cover the entire tournament but are now televising most, if not all, of the regional games. Don’t get me wrong, folks. I am loving every moment, and this three-week Little League extravaganza is so much fun. Williamsport, PA, is on the global stage. It is the premier youth sporting event — and then some.

I found myself in the car an awful lot this past week. Instead of listening to music on Amazon, I tuned in to many of the games. It is only tting that I give some love to the guys who called each contest this week. ey have been doing their thing for a very long time — incredible, actually. I just did the math.

Major props to my friends at BILL 95 & 1400 WRAK. ese local stations have called every Little League World Series since 1947. And they just wrapped up another few weeks in Williamsport. I am counting 77 consecutive years. Some of these legends get better with age. ey are so smooth and call a great game. e transitions and coverage are just splendid. ey know how to paint.

Play-by-play announcers Gary Chris-

man and Ken Sawyer are the best in the biz. Chrisman is an icon. e University of Miami grad has hosted the very successful “Chrisman Morning Show” on Clear Channel Radio for the past 36 years. Gary also called hundreds of local high school and college football and basketball games on Cable Sports Productions. He interviewed me six times. e proud Williamsport native attended his rst World Series as a ve-year-old kid and has been the lead man for the Little League games for the past 50 years.

Ken Sawyer is the man. A guy who has taught me an awful lot. He was Williamsport’s prominent voice from 1970 until he retired in 2013. During his award-winning career, Sawyer wore many hats. He was a talk show host, sports director, and operations manager at NEWS TALK 1400 WRAK. Ken also called every Williamsport Millionaire football and basketball game for 35 years. e same with Lycoming College football for another 20. is was Ken’s 53rd World Series. What?

Sweet-swinging Tom O’Malley played for six MLB teams before a stellar seven-year stint in Japan. e Montoursville native was the Central League MVP in 1995. My man even signed a 1983 Topps card for my son Jensen. Tom has coached and scouted in Japan and currently serves as the Head So ball Coach at South Williams-

port High. His squad is coming o a great year. O’Malley is one of the area’s all-time greats, and he has worked the past nine World Series. Scott Lowrey is a former Regional Director for Little League International. He also served as the Executive Director of the Lycoming County United Way. Scott still coaches many sports for the South Side Mounties. He believes he is the only person who has worked the Series as a newspaper reporter, broadcaster, o cial scorer, and public address announcer. My buddy Scott also scribes for the Webb Weekly. Lowrey just wrapped up his 23rd Little League Tournament.

Tom Speicher is one of my favs. He interviews parents, spectators, and special guests. He provides some great tidbits as the station’s “Man in the Crowd.” He is an award-winning writer/video editor at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. Speicher has done some impressive freelance and national media work. Tom also writes a weekly column for our beloved Minnesota Vikings. I only read it when we are winning. He is so good and hustles to nd some great stories between innings. He makes a di erence. Tom just nished his 25th Series.

Again. Much has changed since that very rst Little League World Series. Some say that over 10,000 youngsters have participated in Williamsport over that time frame. Technologies continue to develop, and there are a plethora of ways to watch and tune in to the games. But BILL 95 and 1400 WRAK have been our staple. ey have been here since the beginning. Incredibly, 77 consecutive tournaments. I am very proud of this entire broadcast team. ey are all huge assets to this community. OK. Yes. I am in the bullpen waiting. But I only wanted to applaud my friends on another great tournament. Major props, guys. Cheers.
