It’s Hard to Believe It’s Been 23 Years

It was a beautiful, sun-drenched, latesummer morning. It appeared all was right in the world. The early day’s sun was still very warm, the smell of fall was in the air. I dropped my sons off for school and daycare. Jimmy had just started kindergarten, and Hunter was a very young preschooler. I was looking forward to having a cup of coffee and a conversation with my Father before I started the work day. Just another normal but very blessed day here in the friendly confines of the West Branch Valley.

As I was listening to “Imus in the Morning” on the radio, he reported a small plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center buildings. It seemed odd to me due to the high visibility and beautiful weather of the day, but things happen in New York City.

It’s hard to believe 23 years have passed since the day I watched the unimaginable. My Father, Stepmother Carol, and I had that cup of coffee — eyes glued on the TV. The conversation was much different than the normal, “How are the boys doing?”

Many of the evil how, what, and whys of the day would be revealed after the second plane hit the South Tower and with President George Bush’s address to the Nation that night. There would still be many questions to be answered in the years that followed. However, there was no

doubt our great Nation was under attack. The words Al-Qaeda, Taliban, and Osama bin Laden, were soon to be heard way too many times.

I remember President Bush’s statement, “We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.” My thoughts at the time were, how many of these whack jobs are there? What nations are supporting their attacking of America? Followed by, we need to find and eliminate all in existence.

The pure evil of 9/11 perpetrated on the innocent by radical Islamic terrorists needs to be taught in every school and college in our Nation. And across the world, for that matter. That in the name of Allah, 19 jihadists executed 2,135 civilians from 90 different countries. They committed the ultimate hate crime against not only those with Judeo-Christian values, but those who believe in good over evil.

The horror of that day needs to be replayed and viewed by young American students. No political correctness allowed. They need to be taught that there is pure evil that will hide behind whatever means necessary.

It needs to be explained how they hijacked a commercial 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel and crashed it into the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. on the morning

9-11 MEMORIAL COALITION RIDE 2024

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. Or send your check made payable to: 9-11 Memorial Coalition, P.O. Box 384, Montoursville, PA 17754.

of September 11th. Then follow it up with United Airlines Flight 175, that I can still envision making that sharp turn over the Hudson and exploding into the South Tower.

There were 2,763 innocent victims that lost their lives at and around the site of the World Trade Centers.

This included 157 souls aboard the two planes. The New York City emergency responders who gave their lives in the line of duty totaled 343 Firemen and Paramedics and 61 NYPD and Port Authority police officers.

These perpetrators of evil then crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the west side of the Pentagon. The crash and inferno killing 123 military and civilian personnel on the ground and 74 passengers and crew aboard the plane.

The fourth hijacked flight on 9/11 is really where our War on Terror begins. United Airlines Flight 93 was fatefully delayed; this precious time gave the passengers and crew the opportunity to learn about the other attacks. Many had correspondence with loved ones. Thomas Burnett Jr. told his wife, “I know we’re all going to die. There’s three of us who are going to do something about it. I love you, honey.” Flight attendant Sandy Bradshaw called and explained to her husband she was boiling water and filling pitchers, and before she could say much more,

“Everyone is running to first class; I got to go, bye!” America’s fight back began with Todd Beamer’s words which were picked up by an open mic, “Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.”

Flight 93, as history recorded, crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. All the innocent on board were lost even though they won the fight. The heroic efforts of the passengers and crew saved countless lives. The hijacked flight was intended to target Washington, D.C., and the Capitol Building.

The world I knew, and my children were growing up in, had changed forever that day. The words “Never Forget” should be accompanied by the actual video, as hard as it is to watch. Past, present and future Americans need to understand this occurred.

We must not allow conspiracy theorists to change the reality of what actually occurred that day. It was an evil attack perpetrated on the innocent that brought America to its knees. Our future generations must understand how many evil individuals, groups, and countries there are that would like to bring the words “Death to America” to life.

Thank you to the United States military, and all those that protect us from things that go bump in the night and day.

Thank you to police, fire, and all first responders for being there and running toward danger when someone is having the worst day of their life.

God Bless America.

Never Forget

I have to start the week with a correction and apology. We always do our absolute best to ensure that all the information we put out is correct, but sometimes the internet gets us. Last week, we noted that the Lock Haven Jaycees work in conjunction with the Lock Haven Boat Regatta Foundation to organize the annual Labor Day Regatta. Unfortunately, we got old information and that is not the case. e Foundation is solely responsible for the Regatta. I apologize for the error, and I am deeply grateful for your understanding.

Next Wednesday will mark the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks on the US. A er you enjoy your weekend with friends and family, please take a moment to remember those who lost their lives that day.

‘Tank’ Baird, Todd Winder, and everyone from the 9/11 Memorial Coalition and the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company do everything possible to make the ride a safe experience while honoring all those who lost their lives as

a result of the attacks. We thank them for everything they do.

Events at the Fire Company begin at 10 a.m., and the ride starts at 6 p.m. Lou has all the details on page 6.

Please be careful on Wednesday. e 9/11 Memorial Ride will cause issues with tra c being slow and roads being blocked. is is because the ride will be passing through several key areas of the town to honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks. I understand this may be inconvenient, and I know the Coalition appreciates your patience and understanding. Please note the map on page 7 so you know where the ride will be and what areas to avoid if you need to be traveling during the ride. Big areas to avoid are Southern Ave. in South Williamsport and all of West and East ird St. Remember, if you need to cross ird St. during the ride, you need to be prepared for it to take a while, so get your errands done early or nd another way around.

If you are able, please go out and support the ride. Your presence, even if you can’t ride, is invaluable. Please get out and line the streets, wave a ag, and remember those whose lives were lost, those who were injured and the families le behind. Your involvement is not just appreciated, it’s crucial to the success of this event.

ousands of US Soldiers have been killed in action since 9/11. Please make sure that you remember to think of them and thank them for their sacri ce. We all know that freedom is never free, and I am thankful for all the men and women willing to go out and defend that freedom every day.

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

It has been 23 years since the infamous and cowardly terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. No one who was alive in those times will ever forget it. A whole new generation has been born since this tragic day. Even as the smoke was still rising from the rubble of the attacks, folks locally were showing their de ance of the attacks and attempting to memorialize the victims of the attacks. ese folks would become the 9/11 Memorial Ride Coalition.

On Wednesday, September 11, thousands of motorcycles and their riders will be riding again to commemorate and remember September 11, 2001. e 42-mile ride route is escorted by the Lycoming County Sheri ’s Department, and tra c control along the entire route is provided by Lycoming County re and police.

e importance of the 9/11 Memorial Ride is to honor those who lost their lives but also to remind our country

that we can never take our liberty and freedom for granted. e roar of thousands of motorcycles is a symbol of strength. e slogan the ride uses, “Let’s Roll” was inspired by Todd Beamer’s last words to the other passengers who made the decision to do all they could to prevent their hijacked plane from crashing into the White House or Capitol Building that it was headed for. e last words heard that day on United Flight 93 were, “Are you guys ready? OK. Let’s roll.”

e rst ride was held four days a er the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Tank Baird and Don Miller are the Founders. at rst ride was organized in about 24 hours, including a police escort. ere were about 85 bikes.

Father John Manno led everyone in prayer at the event and became an advocate. is Ride may hold the honor of being the rst in the Nation to hold an organized motorcycle event for the attack, and certainly, they have the longest running at 23 years.

“We do this ride because we don’t want people to forget the sacri ces and

the terrible toll of 9/11,” Tom “Tank” Baird, one of the founders of the Ride and a member of the 9/11 Coalition, told Webb Weekly. “We believe the event is a great way to commemorate those who were lost and a way to channel our grief and anger about that loss.”

New 911-Coalition Committee Board Member board member and PA State Representative Joe Hamm states, “It is important that we remember and honor the victims, rst responders, and military men and women who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks

on September 11, 2001. Holding this local memorial ride every year will ensure our brave heroes will never be forgotten.”

“ e interest in this ride seems to grow,” Baird said. “We seem to get more and more bikers each year, and the number of people standing along the curbs along the route is growing as well. I think that many people who watch the ride regard it as a good way to show their patriotism. We see a lot of ags being waved along the route. e ride has become sort of a

9/11 RIDE

tradition. This is everyone’s event. It is for the spectators as well as for the riders.”

According to Baird, the ride participants are moved and gratified by the overwhelming turnout of people viewing the ride and showing their support. In addition, he said several churches ring bells as the riders pass by, giving the event both a solemn and perhaps a celebratory quality. These churches choose to remember and show recognition and gratitude for what the ride is trying to demonstrate.

Baird said crowds have been estimated at 20,000 or greater on the route. They have had international visitors and riders from across the country. “This is a ‘rolling memorial,’ and we welcome everyone to participate either by going with us on the motorcycle ride or supporting us curbside.”

Unfortunately, the 9/11 Coalition ran into a major financial snag while putting together this year’s ride. The money needed to help put on the Ride is raised by selling T-shirts and other related merchandise. The vendor that they contracted with, a local vendor,

did not produce the shirts. The Coalition paid for the shirts upfront, and a signed contract for delivery was agreed upon on a certain date. That vendor failed to meet their obligation, leaving the Coalition to hold a sizeable financial bag.

As a result, another vendor to produce the shirts needed to be found quickly.

The Coalition is reluctantly asking for help in raising funds to make up for the shortfall caused by the vendor’s failure to produce the contracted goods.

If you wish to donate, you can do so through www.911memorialcoalition. org/donations, donate through PayPal, or send a check payable to the 9/11 Coalition, P.O. Box 384, Montoursville, PA. 17754.

The gates open at 10 a.m., and there will be Food and vendors all day. The bikes will be blessed throughout the day. There will be a Memorial Service at 5:00 p.m., and the Ride will begin at 6:00 p.m.

The location is the Clinton Township Fire Department, Route 54, Montgomery, PA 17752; the ride begins and ends there.

Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary”: Sizzling Science & Suspense

very now and then, a book comes along that everybody seems to be talking about — even if it isn’t exactly “new.”

At the moment, one such title is Project Hail Mary, the latest from Andy Weir — whose The Martian scored big on both page and screen some years ago.

Joseph W. Smith III

Almost every time I mention Hail Mary, someone responds, “I loved it!” … or “I’m reading that now!” … or “It’s on my ‘next’ list!” (One friend told me he’d so often resolved to read it that he wound up buying two separate copies.)

Originally published in 2021, Weir’s dazzling masterpiece enjoys nearly 100,000 five-star reviews at Amazon; it is still listed as that site’s top seller in “Space Opera Science Fiction.”

I ranked this book among my all-time sci-fi faves even before I’d finished it; but to be honest, I’m loath to reveal any details about the plot, which starts off promptly with “What’s two plus two?”

The narrator does not know the answer — and the book gets instantly interesting as he tries to figure out why

he doesn’t know, and where he is, and what he’s supposed to be doing there.

Since I’ve already mentioned science-fiction, I suppose I can explain that PHM ultimately concerns a space-mission to save the human race.

Along the way, Weir gets wildly inventive with microscopic creatures that seem bound to destroy all life on earth — and a whole lot more that I’m not gonna tell ya.

Suffice it to say that Project Hail Mary boasts a careful plot-structure in which the narrator’s nonstop problem-solving alternates with flashbacks to earth explaining the background that he gradually starts to remember.

But while Weir’s tale is rife with the intoxicating invention and imagination that characterize the best SF, he likewise keeps it firmly grounded in science. Indeed, if the book has a flaw, it’s only that it sometimes gets too bogged down in technical mechanics — involving light-speed, gravity, atmosphere, a plethora of chemical elements and a whole lot of math.

Yet somehow, Weir is able to make all

this pretty clear for novices and nongeeks (though as both a sci-fi fan and a word-specialist for Webb, I can’t pretend I’m not a geek!).

Yet at the same time, for all the complex calculation and terminology, it’s also an intensely human book — with touching development of the narrator’s new and old life, and a truly groundbreaking take on friendship.

Weir also has a seemingly boundless capacity for plot twists. And so, between this, and the mystery, and the flashbacks, and various life-and-death crises that arise, the book is a genuine page-turner.

One other feature worth mentioning: PHM is relatively free of salacious

material like violence, obscenity and sex. (If I recall correctly, it has only 2-3 strong swear-words and about one page of innocuous sex-talk.)

And then to cap it all off, Weir somehow manages a finale that’s both open-ended and supremely satisfying — a feat which is, in my reading experience, nearly impossible to pull off.

Happily, PHM is now in development as a movie, with the same writer as Ridley Scott’s The Martian — and a cast that headed by Ryan Gosling. In the meantime, even folks who don’t care for sci-fi are likely to enjoy this gem. Strongly recommended for book groups!

Fall Photos: School Picture Day

y now, everyone is back in school and hopefully in a good routine. Before you know it, picture day will be here! It may seem like school pictures aren’t as important as they were before we all started carrying cameras in our phones. But there is something to having a professional photo of your child versus the candid and selfie snaps we take more regularly, if not daily.

Bernadette Ulsamer

In years past, I let my kids pick what they wanted to wear and how they wanted their hair for picture day, with interesting results — looking at you, cateared headband. For this year, with some general guidance, I’m hoping for a more thoughtful approach to picture day looks to create memories we can share with family and friends. Here are a few basic dos and don’ts to help craft your kiddo’s picture day look.

First, avoid large logos and wording. Your child may love Minecraft or Taylor Swift at the moment, but wearing a branded T-shirt with big letters or graphics for picture day can distract from their precious face. And in years to come, that fandom may no longer be the same, which can date the photo. The point of

these pictures is to showcase your child, not to advertise a brand.

The same goes for big prints. Distracting patterns divert attention away from their smile and expression. Subtle prints like petite florals and stripes, however, can be quite charming and a nod to their personality. A good technique, not just for prints but for anything they choose to wear, is to have your kid try on their picture-day look ahead of time. Snap a few pics on your phone and review them with them. Does their outfit complement them? Do they like it? If neither, try a different look. In general, solid colors are the best option. Subdued hues like pastels, jewel tones, earthy shades, and neutrals, gentle blues, greens, or pinks, enhance the features of the face and provide a timeless, modern look. Neutral tones work well with most backdrops that a school photographer will have. Bold, neon colors may seem fun, but they create visual distractions and can compete with the backdrop. Black and very dark colors can blend into the background or be too harsh. Also, be mindful when it comes to accessories. The aforementioned cat

Outfits, Not Just Clothes… See OUTFITS on Page 16

OUTFITS

headband or large bows will distract and overwhelm a headshot. Leave hats at home; most school dress codes don’t allow hats to be worn inside. If that’s not your school’s policy, wearing a hat is still not a great idea. The brim can cast unwanted shadows on their face and obscure your child’s lovely smile. Even if they don’t wear it for the picture, still leave it at home. Wearing a hat to school on picture day can mess up their hair. Same goes for hoodies. They add additional bulk around your child’s neck, give them an opportunity to fool around with something during the photo session,

and they can easily pop it over their heads when the click goes off.

Accessories you may want to try are delicate necklaces, stud earrings, or a small bracelet. Pick one, not all three. A classic watch or small pin can add a bit of personality while maintaining a polished look. A bow tie is also a great option if you’re going for a more formal photo. You want a school photo to capture your child’s natural personality, so keep the accessories understated and tasteful.

Next, make sure the outfit you’ve chosen, ideally together, is clean and wrinkle-free. Well-pressed clothing will help keep the

spotlight on your child instead of their rumpled shirt or sweater. If appropriate, schedule a haircut a few weeks before photo day. Send them out of the door with cleaned and combed hair. If makeup is part of your child’s routine, opt for a natural look that enhances their features. Picture day is not the time for a bold lip or a smokey eye.

Another thing to keep in mind is fit. Oversized or baggy tops will look sloppy. You want something that fits but is not tight. Be careful with V-neck and scoopneck tops or thin-strapped tops. You want some fabric to show in the frame versus having it look like your little one is not wearing a shirt at all.

With all of this prep and consideration,

one thing to not to stress over is the bottom half of your kid’s outfit. School pics are mostly headshots. If they want to wear sweatpants, printed leggings, or ripped jeans day of, let them. If you’ve gotten their shoulders and head into shape, then you’ve won!

Remember, picture day is a fantastic opportunity for your children to showcase their true self and personality. So, definitely have them help choose their look with these guidelines to focus on their selections. My girls can quickly become side-tracked when picking clothes if not set up with some perimeters. Hopefully, with these tips, together you can create a picture-perfect look you’ll cherish for years to come.

o one should ever have to go hungry, but the reality is that not everyone has the same access to nutritious food. According to the Department of Human Services, approximately 1.7 million people su er from food insecurity on a daily basis in Pennsylvania. ose most in need of resources, o en people living in rural areas, have limited access to community support, including transportation. Additionally, seniors are among the most susceptible to food insecurity. ere are also many unique challenges when it comes to dealing with food insecurity in rural locations. For example, people living in rural areas — despite living in farm country — may live in a location that o ers little nutritious food because supermarkets might not nd their locations to be especially pro table. A gap o en lled by discount stores o ering hyperprocessed food and sugary drinks, which fuel chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

It seems almost absurd to think that in a country with so much abundance,

people still go without healthy food, so rather than ignore the problem, let’s step up and help our neighbors.

One way to do this is to support e Greater Lycoming County CROP Hunger Walk. According to their website, e Greater Lycoming County CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a gathering of people in a place. ey are part of a movement, taking steps and raising funds to provide meals for those in our community who need them and supporting programs that create greater food security in communities all around the world.

e CROP Hunger Walk is a nationwide movement sponsored by Church World Service to raise funds to end hunger and poverty in the US, and around the world.

Hundreds of religious groups, businesses, schools, and others organize local Walk events in their communities each year, while others join the National Walk and choose their own location and experience. CROP Hunger Walks are communitybased walk fundraising events held in cities and towns across the United

States. They were created to support the global mission of Church World Service, a faith-based organization that transforms communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement, and disaster. After a CROP Hunger Walk ends, 25% of the funds raised are returned to the host community to support local hungerfighting efforts.

The Crop Project began in 1947 when farmers were asked to donate food and seed crops to our hungry neighbors in post-World War II Europe and Asia. The first CROP Hunger Walks took place in Bismarck, North Dakota (1969), and York, Pennsylvania (1970). Since then, CROP Hunger Walk events have been held in hundreds of communities, large and small, raising millions of dollars to eradicate hunger and poverty.

Our community’s annual walk to fight hunger, the CROP Walk, is scheduled for Sunday, October 13, 2024. Registration and Walk will begin at 1 p.m. in front of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church (142 Market Street, Williamsport). Walkers can walk 3, 6, or 9 miles on the River Walk. Other structured opportunities will be in Hughesville, Quiggleville, and Trout Run. People may also choose to walk

on their own or create another location.

The Walk benefits Church World Service, Jersey Shore Care and Share, Sonlight House of Muncy, United Churches of Lycoming, and the County Food Pantry. This year is the 46th Walk, and to date, the CROP Walk has raised over 1 million dollars to help stop hunger. Last year, almost $6,000 was raised.

Together, we can fight hunger both locally and globally. Of the money we raise, 25% goes to our community and is distributed equally among the Jersey Shore Care and Share, the Sonlight House of Muncy, the United Churches of Lycoming County’s Food Pantry, and the West End Christian Community Center. The other 75% is distributed by Church World Service nationally and internationally to help hungry people.

CROP Walk materials may be found at www.crophungerwalk.org/ williamsportpa, or you may also contact the office of United Churches of Lycoming County for physical materials. Please return all collected funds to United Churches of Lycoming County by the end of October. You may submit late funds through the end of November. For more information, contact Tammey Edkin at director@ uclc.org or at 570-322-1110.

Saving Money on Groceries

Let’s talk about saving some money while grocery shopping. Now, I am no “Krazy Coupon Lady.” Ya know, the people that spend hours clipping coupons and searching for what stores have the best deals with what coupons they have. Many even dumpster-diving to get extra coupons! Then, after all their hard work, they go into the store and come out with five huge packs of toilet paper, twenty hand soaps, eighteen cans of soup, and thirty-two boxes of pasta. The best part? The store owes them money after all the discounts. It’s crazy and takes some serious dedication. I am not going to that extreme, but seriously, high five to anyone with the brains to figure all that out. That’s awesome.

Andrea McElroy

an email two weeks before school started saying “Deals for back to school.” I looked through them and actually found some really good deals! The next day, I went, and here is what I got.

– Three boxes of Tastykakes – Simply Lemonade – Box of Go-Gurt- 8-count – Can of Pringles – Box of Uncrustables4-count

– String Cheese- 12 count

My speed is a bit different. I love to save money and find the best deals; I just don’t have the time to be quite that extreme. My favorite way to save money is mobile apps. Do you know that most grocery stores have an app? Do you also know most of them can send you emails about deals for the week? Weis does, anyway. They sent me

Can you guess the total before I tell you how much it was? It’s hard to even go to the store and spend less than $50. You get one bag and wonder what the heck you bought! But on this day, I had two bags of groceries for $20!! I walked out of there so proud. I’ll break it down for you and tell you how I did it. It wasn’t hard! It just takes a few minutes to look at their flier and then go on the app to search for e-coupons.

– Tastykakes were on sale for 3 for $11. – Go-Gurts I had a $1.30 e-coupon, which made it $2.

– Simply Lemonade: I had a $1 e-coupon, which made it $2. – Can of Pringles I got for FREE with

100 points on my Weis Loyalty card. – Uncrustables: I had a $2.50 e-coupon, which made it $2. – I also had an e-coupon for $2.60 for Polly-O string cheese, which made them $3.

My bill would have been $33. I saved $13!

What is an e-coupon? It means an electronic coupon. ey can be found on mobile apps, store websites, or just searching online for codes. I would never have known about the deals if it hadn’t been for the Weis app. I try to get in the habit if I go to Wegmans or Weis. I’ll pop on my app quickly and search for that week’s e-coupons. If there is a really good deal or something on my list with a coupon, I’ll “clip it,” and it will link directly to my loyalty card at that store.

So, for this week, Wegmans has a $2 o coupon on Wegmans Deli Turkey & Swiss Cheese. Spend $6 on either item, and you get $2 o . at’s a pretty good deal on deli meat for Wegmans. (I like to get our lunch meat at Diamond Square, but I will grab lunch meat at the grocery store if I am on a time crunch, and with $2 o , it helps!)

When I go to Wegmans and get a pound of turkey at check out, the coupon will come right o when I scan my loyalty card. When you sign up for

these apps, you will be asked to link your loyalty card number or places like Dollar General where you would use your phone number. ere are no cutting coupons. It’s just a few minutes of searching for coupons on the app before you go into the store. I love scanning everything rst and seeing my total of $43.21 come down to $28.06 or $21.93 down to $16.82. I just like to see how low I can get that total and be surprised. (It’s truly the little thing in life for me, haha.)

Dollar General is another one that can have great deals. Every Saturday, they have $5 o $25. Sometimes, even $10 o $40! If you go in a clip e-coupon o $5 for Gain detergent, $1 o Irish Spring soap, $2 o Hellman’s mayo, .75 cents o co ee creamer, and $1 o General Mill cereal, that would de nitely be over $25. You’d get the $5 o $25, plus all the other coupons. You would save $14.75!!! If you got other little things you needed, and ended up spending over $40, then you would get the $10 o instead of $5. It just takes a few extra minutes, and think of the money you save. We work hard for our money, and if we can save here and there, why not do it? I hope this helps some of you. A er my deals at Weis, I could use the coupon for the

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

Ingredients:

• 6 white potatoes, peeled and sliced thin

• 1 small onion, chopped fine

• 3 cups of extra sharp cheese, shredded

• 6 Tbsp of butter

• 4 Tbsp flour

• 3 cups of milk

• Salt and Pepper

• 3 cups of cooked ham, cut into chunks

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a baking dish and set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir

in flour and cook for one minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat, then slowly add in the milk. Return to medium heat and whisk constantly until it comes to a simmer. When the sauce has started to thicken, add one cup of shredded cheese. Stir till melted. Add salt and pepper. Set aside. Spread out half of the potatoes on the bottom of a 9 by 12 buttered casserole dish. Top with half the onions, half the ham, and half the cheese. Top with half the sauce. Continue to layer again, and the remaining cheese on top. Bake for an hour or until potatoes are tender and top is golden. After baking, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to set.

Weird Words No. 60: Another One from Your “Harmless Drudge”

By Joseph W. Smith III

British scholar Samuel Johnson, who compiled the rst English dictionary way back in 1755, de nes lexicographer as: “A writer of dictionaries; a harmless drudge, that busies himself in tracing the original, and detailing the signi cation of words.”

I guess your “Weird Words” writer kinda ts into that category — though I’ve certainly never written an entire volume (which, incidentally, Johnson did pretty much alone — without the help of existing dictionaries!).

While I’m not so sure about the “harmless” part, there is a certain amount of “drudge-work” here — partly in consulting a variety of sources, but mostly in trying to select weekly batches from my oddball list of 2600-plus words.

Happily, during Little League week I had help from two young friends: Eight- and nine-year-old Cora and Alanna, who were visiting with family for LLWS, eagerly agreed to pick 16

from my list.

We covered half of those last week; here are the rest:

Hau (HOW, noun) – While this is not found in a lot of dictionaries, the authoritative and reliable merriamwebster.com has it as a synonym for majagua (or mahagua) — a tropical tree of the hibiscus family, whose wood is used in boating and ornamentation.

Izzard (IZZ-urd, noun) – Chie y British slang for the letter Z; a variant of zed. (Don’t ask me — I don’t make this stu up; I’m just the messenger!) Jacquard (JACK-urd, or juh-KARD, noun) – A type of fabric which the useful Collins English Dictionary explains thus: “the design is incorporated into the weave instead of being printed or dyed on.” (And we all know how much cooler that is!) e stu is named for French inventor J. M. Jacquard — and thus this term is sometimes capitalized. French pronunciation: zhyuh-CAR. Myxomatosis (miks-uh-muhTOE-sis, noun) – For this mouthful, dictionary.com o ers one of those annoying de nitions that requires you

to look up other words: “a condition characterized by the presence of many myxomas”; or alternately, “a myxomatous degeneration” (talk about a mouthful!). From that same source: a myxoma is a “so tumor composed of connective and mucoid tissue.”

Secondarily, myxomatosis is also a highly contagious rabbit disease that was deliberately spread in Britain and Australia to reduce that animal’s population.

Oogonium (oh-uh-GO-nee-um, noun) – From Merriam-Webster: “a female sexual organ in various algae and fungi that corresponds to the

archegonium of ferns and mosses.”

Wait … algae and moss have sex organs? Who knew!?

Plural, oogonia; adjective, oogonial. (Just in case you ever need to describe the reproductive life of fungi and ferns.)

Phainopepla (fay-eye-no-PEP-la, noun) – According to Wikipedia, this is a crested bird in the ycatcher family; its tough-to-say moniker is from the Greek for “shiny” — relating to the male’s gleaming plumage.

e Greek base pha(i)n, in the sense of “bringing to light,” has given us such words as phantom, fantasy and

epiphany, among many others.

Rechau e (ray-show-FAY, adj.) –

From my beloved American Heritage Dictionary: “1. Warmed le over food. 2. Old material reworked or rehashed.” Using the common Latin pre x re(“back, again”) and a French form of chafe (“to rub”), it literally means … reheated.

Sabra (SAH-bruh, noun) – A native of Israel (from the excellent Random House College Dictionary). Foodies will recognize this as a particularly tasty brand of hummus (though Wegmans gives that label a run for its money).

e hummus connection is natural,

of course — since this foodstu originated in the Middle East … like a sabra.

Silviculture (SIL-vi-kull-cher, noun) – Related to agriculture — also using the Latin base silvi- (“woodland”) — this means “forestry,” or the cultivation of trees.

Slightly respelled with a “y,” the silvibase occurs in the name of our heavily wooded state: Pennsylvania. Drive west on I-80 and you’ll see why.

For any dear readers who’d like to help this “harmless drudge” by suggesting a theme for future word-choices: Drop me a line at robbwhitefan@gmail.com.

On Both Roads

Tis article will focus on the things you’ll nd on both roads.

Death

Both roads have Death on the map. One road travels to it; the other travels through it.

On the road to Death, Death is the obvious destination – the literal deadend. It is a perplexing journey for all of us. We faithfully travel the road to Death every day, yet we never want to reach our destination.

ere’s a lot of unknowns about Death. First, we don’t know when we will arrive. e roadside markers tell us how much time has passed, not how much time we have le .

Will I arrive at Death today? Tomorrow? In y years? How am I supposed to live when Death could always be around the next corner?

Second, we don’t know how we will arrive. Will it be sudden in an accident? Will it come a er years of battling cancer or some other miserable disease? Will I linger in a

nursing home or a comatose state? Could I get so tired and defeated that I take my own life? It makes sense that we fear death. See Hebrews 2:15. We are beings, and the worst thing for a being is to no longer be. at’s the trouble with Death: it is the end of something that shouldn’t have an end. Death makes no sense at all. Death isn’t supposed to be our destination. In the beginning, it wasn’t even on the map. We were made by an eternal God for an eternal existence – to live and never die. To Be. Always. at’s what makes sense to us. Yet here we are, traveling fast on the road that leads to Death. Go gure.

While there is death on the road to Life, it’s not the destination. Travelers on the road to Life know that death is a shadowy valley they will pass through along the way. at being said, they walk through that valley with courageous determination, not fear, knowing full well Life continues on the other side. King David said it this way, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your sta , they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Gravity and Grace

Gravity and grace are the two unseen and unescapable forces at work on both roads. Gravity a ects every traveler. e downward force relentlessly pulls us

Tim Hartzell

toward the ground and the grave. No traveler escapes its grip. The pull of gravity is just too strong.

When Adam fell from grace, gravity took over. God said to him, By the sweat of your brow, you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you will return. Genesis 3:1819. When Adam fell, gravity became the dominant force in the human story.

Grace also affects every traveler. It is the upward force that pulls us toward heaven and eternal life. It was God’s grace at creation that raised Adam from the dust of the ground and formed him into a living being. It was grace that placed him in the Garden, gave him authority and purpose, blessed him with Eve, and provided

them with all they would ever need to live and thrive forever. Grace pulled them upward. Because of grace, Adam and Eve continually gained elevation as they traveled the road of Life.

But as I’ve already mentioned, no traveler escapes either force. Adam and Eve discovered that even at the highest of heights, gravity was still pulling them toward the ground. They probably thought they were invincible. They likely assumed they would never fall from their lofty place. They took no steps to guard themselves from their only vulnerability. It was a fatal mistake that impacted all of us.

My friends, no one escapes gravity. There is no height from which it is impossible to fall. Just ask Moses, Abraham, Essau, David, Judas, and Peter (to name a few).

Grace had given each of them a lofty position, and they all fell. Hard. Again, no one escapes the force of gravity. Ever. If it could happen to them, it could happen to you and me. If you don’t accept this truth and guard yourself, you will fall. Me too. Why? Pride convinces us we can defy gravity. We start taking risks. We get too close to the edge — and then the unthinkable happens — we lose our footing and fall.

I have served in full-time Christian ministry for nearly forty years. I have walked with very good and highly elevated travelers who played too close to the edge and suffered a devastating fall. It is awful in every way. They are humiliated. Their families are destroyed. Their reputations are lost. Their future hopes and dreams

evaporate into thin air. Some are so overcome with remorse that they take their own lives.

I am writing these articles to warn you about gravity. The ground is relentless, and it wants you back. It will never stop pulling on you. If you think you are beyond its reach, you are in trouble.

But I am also writing to let you know grace is pulling on you, too—always. It wants you on the road to Life. Grace led you to this article. It is giving you an opportunity to break free of gravity and exit the road to Death. The choice is yours—and you are guaranteed to make it today. See 2 Corinthians 6:2.

Yes, by grace, you can exit the road that leads to Death. We’ll talk about exit ramps next week.

County Hall Corner: Conspiracy or Incompetence in Butler?

By Larry Stout

iven that the Kennedy assassination has been deeply debated and discussed for 61 years now, we should not expect that a er just seven weeks, we would know how and why on July 13th, at an open-air campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, a 20-year young man named omas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Republican candidate for President, Donald Trump.

First and foremost, Crooks should never, ever have gotten o a shot in the rst place. e last time something like this happened was on March 30, 1981, when John Hinckley Jr. shot then-President of the United States Ronald Reagan as he was going to his limousine a er a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton. Our Secret Service has been protecting presidents, former presidents, their immediate families, etc. without another such incident for over forty years.

So how did it happen on July 13th in Butler, PA? Watching the videos of the assassination attempt, the Secret Service looked at times like the Keystone Kops rather than an elite protection unit. It was not the skills of the Secret Service but the grace of God that caused Trump to turn his head at just the right moment to avoid

what undoubtedly would have been a potentially fatal blow.

So, where did the security break down? Why was the roof where Crooks were shot from not secured? Even people in the crowd could see a man on the roof; why not those assigned for that very purpose? Yes, the Secret Service uses local law enforcement, but that does not mean they were the scrub team, or at least, they should not have been.

Four years ago, Donald Trump made two visits to Williamsport while running for President. I talked with several of those responsible for local security, and they emphasized that the protocol for these events is rigidly standardized and trained. No matter how you cut it, someone either did not know what they were doing or was doing it wrong—and that falls back on the Secret Service, who are supposed to be running the show.

Who was omas Matthew Crooks, and what was his motive? No one seems to know. Most of those who knew him described him as a normal guy, not particularly popular but also not one that got picked on. He was a fairly good student and especially liked history. Interestingly, a former classmate told ABC News he “shot terribly” and “wasn’t really t for the ri e team.” e school district con rmed that there was no record of Crooks trying out

for the team, and he never appeared on a roster.

Was Crooks a patsy, i.e. Lee Harvey Oswald? It did not take very long for the New York Times, Reuters, NPR, and other mainstream press to quickly quell any possibility of a conspiracy. Personally, I do not follow these James Bond-type plots, but it surely begs the question of how Thomas Matthew Crooks could climb to the roof of a building, providing a clear shot at Trump, and the assigned law enforcement agents just happened to look the other way, which allowed the attempt. Right now, it appears incompetence is winning the argument, as the shooting was a devastating failure of one of the agency’s core duties and led to the

resignation of the Secret Service’s director, Kim Cheatle, and five agents who were there in Butler have been “reassigned” to other duties. But the investigation is still continuing. There is a congressional task force of 13 members, consisting of seven Republicans and six Democrats, charged with determining what went wrong on the day of the attempted assassination and to make recommendations to prevent future security lapses. They are to issue a final report before December 13 of this year.

Final report? Forgive my skepticism. I cannot help but wonder if my grandchildren are going to be my age before the truth of what happened on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, fully comes to light.

The Bookworm Sez

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

“Angel of Vengeance” by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child c.2024, Grand Central $30.00 352 pages

hey say that you can never go back home again.

Oh, sure, you can physically be there a few times. You can stay overnight, sleep in your old bed, eat at the same table, but something will’ve changed. Home isn’t home anymore, it’s di erent. Whether it’s a week or ten years, you can never go home again — especially, as in the new novel, “Angel of Vengeance” by Preston & Child, home is nearly 150 years away.

Diogenes Pendergast had a hunch that Gaspard Ferenc was nothing but a smalltime crook.

He’d followed Ferenc through the time portal to see what the man was up to and yes, it was some “get-rich-quick scheme” to take back to the twenty- rst century. Diogenes knew that it wouldn’t work, though, especially since the portal had disappeared.

When he spotted his great-granduncle, Enoch Leng, with Ferenc, Diogenes knew that there’d be trouble. Leng must’ve known that Diogenes’ brother, FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast, was there in 1880, as was Aloysius’ partner, who’d come through the portal before Ferenc. Pendergast’s ward,

Constance Greene, had traveled back some time even before that.

ey’d come to this time and place to save a 9-year-old girl named Binky, who was actually Constance as a child. In later years, Constance had worked for Leng in his search for an extension of human life and at that time, she’d come to possess the Arcanum, a notebook with information Leng needed to “cleanse” the world. In his experiments on women he’d snatched, he’d murdered Constance’s sister, Mary, and endangered

Constance

But in addition to having a hold on most of New York’s riverside area, Leng had one advantage: he knew about the portal, and he knew his plans to create a perfect world would be accelerated in the twenty- rst century.

He only had to gure out when to get there...

ough it’s a fact that you could read “Angel of Vengeance” by itself — don’t. e truth is that you will be much, much happier if you go back to catch a few of the other Pendergast novels. is one relies on former books to ll in the blanks that you’ll undoubtedly have.

Should you decide to begin the series with this latest installment from authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, though, there are things you’ll need to know. e characters are crisp and perfectly wrought, placed inside a lot of cringeworthy violence, alongside a vile but brilliant madman who, in a time warp-twisty way, personi es every despot who comes a er him since 1880.

Beyond that, overall, the story is dark and dank, a little steampunk-ish, as if someone painted a portrait of a New York City circa 1881, and then wiped it with watery grime.

Fans of Preston & Child will rejoice that “Angel of Vengeance” is here, and that it leaves a few untied ends to tease you.

Newbies to these authors will love this book — but go back a few in the series rst.

Tragically, every year, as the hunting season gets underway and the “army” of Pennsylvania hunters hits the woods, unpleasant discoveries are made. As these hunters travel deeper into the woods than normal in pursuit of small or big game, the chances are all too real that they may come across a hiker or camper who has passed away. Frequently, the deceased person was simply not in the best shape to handle the rigors of their outdoor activity. Such tragedy can easily be avoided by simply taking the time and e ort to get in better physical shape. ere are a number of general areas of concern that need to be addressed as you lay out a plan to become more physically t. I will admit that weather prediction seems to be a lost art, but don’t let the weather hold you back from getting in shape for the upcoming hunting season. On the upcoming warmer and more humid days, just take it a bit easier and increase the intensity of your exercise on the cooler and less humid days ahead. Since the weather now seems to be trending to the cooler side, let’s lay out some plans. Shed some unwanted pounds: ere is little doubt that losing weight is not the easiest thing to do, especially as you age. Setting a realistic goal of shedding just a couple of pounds per week and adjusting your eating habits slightly will (hopefully) set you on a path to success. Reducing sugar intake will play a major part in any weight

loss endeavor. ere are plenty of weight loss programs out there, but in reality, one simply needs to muster up the willpower to avoid overeating and undertake a much-needed exercise program.

Cardiovascular tness:

It is critical to be able to comfortably and safely hike the hills and trails, especially if you have not been doing so prior to the hunting seasons. ere is no better time than now to begin getting into shape, so start today by going for a walk. Once it feels comfortable to do so, lengthen the distance, pick up the pace, and look for a route with some hills to climb and descend. Take your dog for a walk, especially if he is a dog you hunt with — he will also need to get in shape. Having the dog by your side actually will help take your mind o the fact that you are exercising. While walking and running are perhaps the best exercises for cardiovascular tness, it is highly bene cial to include biking or swimming when possible. e nearby rails-to-trails path that runs through the Pine Creek valley is an excellent place to bike. e various cardiovascular workouts will focus on your larger muscles, such as your leg muscles, expand your lung capacity, and raise your heart rate throughout the activity.

Muscular tness:

While a weight training bench with dumbbells and barbells is bene cial, it is not a necessity. ere are plenty of exercises that you can do for strength and balance that do not require the external equipment. Pushups,

pull-ups, sit-ups, and squats and lunges, are all exercises that will increase strength, improve muscular fitness, and help develop better balance. If you have access to a gym with machines or free weights, theninclude leg presses, toe raises, bench presses, biceps curls, and triceps extensions — these will all strengthen the muscles you will tend to use in hunting.

Proper nutrition:

Simply put, if you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. If you don’t, you won’t! Pay closer attention to just how many calories are in the foods you eat and start making smart choices as to substitutions so that your caloric intake comes from a better source of nutrition. You do not need to subject yourself to some crazy crash dieting. By paying closer attention and making steady

adjustments to your food intake, you will develop long-term habits that will serve you well over the long haul.

Set a goal:

In the end, the goal is to become a better hunter and outdoorsman. One way to accomplish that is to lose some unwanted pounds. You can move more quietly and efficiently through the woods and won’t leave so much scent because you are breathing so heavily. Combine weight reduction with better eating habits, and you will feel better and will no doubt have many more years to hunt, fish, and spend time recreating in the outdoors. Procrastination is soooo easy! Make a plan to get started today to become a more fit outdoorsman, and your reward will be a renewed ability to enjoy the wonders that Mother Nature has to offer.

Needless to say, as we begin to move into fall months, Pennsylvania deer hunters are seriously starting to scrutinize the woods and elds around them in hopes of seeing some nice deer racks.

I’ll confess that anytime I go anywhere, I’m on the lookout for deer, turkeys, and any other game I can see as I travel down country roads and highways.

While I’ve talked to a few people who have reported disappointment in not seeing many deer, I, on the other

hand, have been spotting a pretty good number of deer along with a good number of fawns. In addition to what I see in my travels, I’ve also been seeing a pretty good number of deer, including bucks, on several cameras in di erent areas.

Certainly, every year about this time, we are all wondering what to expect when the various deer seasons roll around, but the truth is Pennsylvania ranks pretty high in deer harvests when compared to other states across the country.

Each year, the National Deer Association (NDA) publishes its “Deer Report,” and the 202223 report concluded that it was the fourthhighest antlered deer harvest in the country in the past ten years. Additional gures showed that there were 1.7 bucks taken per square mile.

So, how does Pennsylvania t into all of this? In Pennsylvania, hunters took 3.7 bucks per square mile, making them

the top state in bucks per square mile. We also ranked second in the antlerless harvest.

To analyze the state more closely, here’s a look at the deer take in some of the WMUs.

Regarding deer harvested per square mile, WMU, 2B led the state with 16.9 per square mile-something they have done for eight of the past ten years. WMU 2B also came in second at 5.1 bucks taken per square mile.

I was a little surprised to nd that WMU 2A, which is in Pennsylvania’s extreme southwest corner, took the top spot for bucks per square mile with a 5.5.

e unit where I do much of my hunting, WMU 4E, comes in h place at 12.6 deer harvested per square mile, seventh place, and 4.7 bucks taken per square mile. In WMU 4E, we came fourth in the antlerless deer harvest.

I don’t have room to list all the units here, but if you want to know how the unit you hunt in ranks, you can go to https://bit.ly/padeerharvestdata.

If you dissect Pennsylvania deer hunting even more, you nd that archery hunting has made some great inroads in that the archery success rate has greatly increased. No doubt, much of that increase is due to the fact that the crossbow has entered the scene.

I know; I sometimes question whether or not the crossbow belongs in the same category as the compound or recurve, considering today’s crossbows are about as accurate as ri es at 30 or 40 yards.

Last year, archery hunters took 36 percent of the Pennsylvania deer harvest, but even more eye-opening is that archers took 48.6 percent of all the bucks that were taken in Pennsylvania this past season.

Well, the gures certainly look good for Pennsylvania, so now I guess I’ll have to do some serious practicing and some serious scouting and maybe even be a little bit lucky if I hope to add to those gures.

Cutters Chase Championship

Hall of Fame pitcher Satchel Paige once said, “You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you get to dress for all of them.” Paige’s statement succinctly describes the Williamsport Crosscutters 2024 season.

A er outdistancing the MLB Dra League eld and winning the league’s rst-half championship, the Crosscutters fell in disarray during the season’s second half, enduring several long losing streaks to nish in the league’s basement. However, under MLB Dra League rules, the team will be playing for the overall 2024 championship when they host the second-half winner ursday Night at Bowman Field in a one-game winner-take-all showdown.

Scott Lowery

Backyard Broadcasting, for their support of the championship game.”

Since becoming an MLB Dra League member in 2021, this is the second time the Crosscutters will appear in the championship game. e team won the secondhalf title in 2022 but fell to the West Virginia Black Bears in the championship showdown. e Black Bears have won the last two league titles a er Trenton claimed the rst league championship in 2021.

“We are excited to be able to play for and host the MLB Dra League championship game a er our rsthalf win,” stated Gabe Sinicropi, the team’s director of marketing and public relations. “ ursday night, we will have a rally towel giveaway for the rst 1,200 fans, post-game reworks, and nine innings of a championship game for the fans to enjoy. We want to thank Webb Weekly and our other game sponsors, UPMC, Antler’s on the Water, and

“A limited number of tickets remain available for ursday night’s game, but fans are encouraged to buy them in advance,” Sinicropi added. “ ere are free ticket vouchers in this week’s Webb Weekly, courtesy of the game sponsors. e vouchers can be exchanged for game tickets at our ticket window.

“It was an incredible rst half and an incredibly tough second half. We wish we could have played better in the second half to at least compete for the second-half title. e way the MLB rules are put together, the second-half champ certainly has the advantage because that is the team that played together and won the second half. It is what it is.

“Certainly, it has been a di cult second half, especially since things were so

great in the first half. It has been just the opposite. All of that said, to win the championship, all we need to do is win one game. From our standpoint, none of the games in the second half matter — Thursday night, it’s winner take all!”

While Draft League rosters differ greatly from one half to the other, the Crosscutters have nine players who appeared in first-half games. Among them is local product Jacob Corson.

During the highs and lows of the season, Corson has given fans plenty to cheer about. Now living in Muncy, Corson played for Hughesville during his high school days. The right fielder leads the team, batting .313 with a .927 OPS, earning Sinicropi’s praise.

“It’s been pretty cool to have a local kid on our team and performing so well. He has been great for us in both halves. I’m not sure he expected to do as well as he has, but he has been consistent all year. When he first joined us, he was kind of a fill-in, fulfilling a quick need. We didn’t know how long he may even be around. He’s been one of, if not the most consistent player we’ve had. Jacob has been excellent, both offensively and defensively.”

Despite losing a half-dozen home dates canceled by the weather (games that MLB Draft League does not makeup), Crosscutter attendance has seen an uptick.

“Our attendance is up slightly from last year, and that is always positive. We

are pretty much back to pre-COVID attendance numbers, both in overall attendance and groups. We’ve long believed a winning team is icing on the cake, and it’s always cooler when you’re winning. What we strive to provide at Journey Bank Ballpark is a night out for people that they can enjoy. It is top of mind for people, and we look forward to a good time for championship night.”

Major League Baseball recently announced that the MLB Draft League has been extended through the 2030 season and indicated plans are underway to add two franchises to the existing six teams: the Frederick Keys, Mahoning Valley Scrappers, State College Spikes, Trenton Thunder, West Virginia Black Bears, and the Crosscutters.

“In three short years, the MLB Draft League has done exactly what we had hoped, as it has provided players another chance to be evaluated by scouts from all MLB clubs both before and after the draft,” said Sean Campbell, MLB Draft League president. “The league has also kept professional-caliber baseball in six terrific cities, and we are most appreciative of the fans that come out to watch players chase their dreams of playing in the Major Leagues.”

Last week, a record-high TV audience tuned in to watch the thrilling conclusion of the Little League World Series. Cutters fans hope Thursday night will result in a championship banner flying over Bowman Field.

Thankfully, school has started. Jensen and Teach are o and running.

We enjoyed another fantastic summer. It was capped o with another splendid Little League World Series. A walk-o bunt? You must be kidding. Our addition is mostly nished. But I still have a major punch list. I pulled the trigger on some new knee pads. Give me a call if you need some help with your LVT ooring. Work continues to keep me super busy. It is a beautiful problem to have if you’re the boss. But not if you are a minion. I am looking forward to seeing my friends on the gridiron.

We are still experiencing some setbacks from Tropical Storm Debbie. A columnist wrote a few weeks back that highlighted our beautiful community. Bravo to all of our volunteer re folks. Kudos to Camp Susque. Yes, many have rallied. But Trout Run and many others still need our help. It is a mess.

ere will be a long road to recovery. Lycoming Creek was slightly impacted.

Debris is everywhere. e water levels are somewhat back to normal. I had a chance to sneak up for a few casts on my favorite stretches. You can still see the many relics. Washed up trees. Random stu hanging. Brown grasses. Mud. I felt absolutely terrible. September is one of my favorite months to sh in North Central Pennsylvania. During the summer, I target Smallmouth. But now the temperatures are dropping at night, and I will switch back to Browns and Rainbows. I didn’t know what to expect that a ernoon, and I had zero expectations. I only wanted to get away from painting white trim and cutting my ngers. Long story. is stretch of water is always loaded. But where do the sh go during a ood? Many folks have di erent opinions.

ere was some bug activity. Blue Wings were still hatching, but it was nothing like the spring. I hate to resort to the dark side. I prefer to sh dries, but if I was going to have any luck- I had to go subsurface. Remember folks.

I am still a novice when it comes to nymphs. ey are these tiny aquatic critters that are in their underwater stage. It is said that 90% of a trout’s diet consists of these little bugs. Nymphing is extremely e ective on a year-round basis. Despite their small size, trout focus on these insects because of their abundance. But again. It is not my thing.

Forget tightlining. at is for the advanced. My basic setup consists of a 9-foot leader and another 12 inches of tippet. At the very end, I tie my nymph. I have 400 in my box but always go with my fave. e PEEPING CADDIS. Some folks will add other bugs to the bend of the hook, but I normally stick with one. A split shot is added when needed. Usually, a few inches above. I always use a yellow cork indicator. I don’t do well with feel or sound. e key is to have your nymph bouncing along the bottom. Trout are now more experienced and don’t need to work as hard. e amount of weight will vary. A lot depends on the speed and depth. Always be sure that your presentation moves naturally with the ow of the current. Your nymph should dri . Pay close attention to your elements. e water may change

overnight. is technique takes time to master. Learn the di erence between brushing the bottom and a strike. A sudden pause or dip means you should set the hook. Again. is is easier said than done. ere is no need to pull back like Bill Dance or Jimmy Houston. It only requires a slight tug. Don’t get too excited. Stay patient. It will get better. You can always quit. I suggest you give nymphing a try. You will be rewarded. Landing a beautiful colored up Rainbow like the one pictured is the ultimate. e leaves will be changing soon. It is a great time of year to do what you love. Stay in school, kids. Cheers.
