As the cover date reads 9/11, I want to begin this week with my thoughts and prayers for the families and all those affected by the tragic events of 9/11. The number of Americans lost that day continues to climb as a result of the toxic dust breathed in on-site.
The 9/11 Memorial Ride, my column regarding the day, as well as other remembrance information can be found in last week’s issue. This was to ensure everyone had the information before the 9/11/24 postal delivery.
I’ll begin this week with a tip of my Webb Weekly hunting hat with the American Flag on the side to the Williamsport Crosscutters organization for winning their first MLB Draft League Championship. Why my blaze orange and camo hat instead of one of my Crosscutter caps? It just seems appropriate as the last days of Summer transition to everything that is Fall. Congrats to Manager Ryan Hanigan, the coaching staff, and all the players who made it an amazing Summer at Historic Bowman Field. Skipper Hanigan did a great job developing his young team and making the right decisions down the stretch to have the
squad at full strength versus Trenton in that final game.
Thank you to all the fans who showed up for that beautiful night at the ballpark this past Thursday. As my family settled into our seats for the first pitch, the only thing better than the weather was the big game atmosphere created by the hometown crowd.
Thank you to Gabe Sinicropi, Doug Estes, and the entire staff who make Crosscutter game time happen. A special thank you to Sarah Budd for taking care of folks every night and especially for all the great giveaways we partnered with the Crosscutters for. And, of course, I can’t leave out my adopted son, Rhashan, who everyone looks forward to seeing.
Winning makes everything even better, especially when it’s the final game of the season. My final pitch for this year is that I can’t wait to partner up with the Crosscutter family for the 2025 season. They are always champions in my book; this year, it’s just official.
Back to my hunting hat, which I love to wear this time of year. If you bump into me the next two weekends in the east end of Lycoming County,
I’ll probably have it on. Please note, as featured on the cover and explained within, Mopar Muscle celebrates its 25th anniversary this Saturday, September 14th. The Susquehanna Valley Corvette Club is the following Saturday, September 21st. These events usually happen on the same day. The Corvette show has also been moved to Picture Rocks from Main Street, Muncy.
If you’re a motorhead or just like getting out and about, these are great Autumn All-American events. They have great ties to the community and charitable giving. Lou Hunsinger has it all covered for you beginning on page 6. Moving right along to a couple of Webb Weekly Fall traditions.
Next week’s issue for September 18th will feature our Fall Home Improvement Guide. The good people, businesses, and products will help you with whatever you need help with. This designed to make your living space the home space you want.
The Fall HI Guide is a great way to find the guy when you really need the guy. It’s a must-save if you still keep things like this in your junk drawer. If you have adapted to the modern
world, it can always be found archived at webbweekly.com.
That gets me to the 17th Annual Webb Weekly Uncle Ron’s Monster Buck Contest. This will begin right along with the Fall archery season at the end of the month. All the details and much more will be featured on September 28th in our Fall Hunting, Fishing, and Outdoors Section. I can’t wait; this is one of my favorite contests of the year. Well, I’ve gotten to talk about baseball, Mopar Muscle, Corvettes, and hunting. That’s a pretty good week in my book.
I didn’t forget there’s a presidential debate and election in less than two months. That gives me plenty of time to fill you in on my thoughts. I have been avoiding all the Harris and Trump spots on TV and am much happier for doing so. I just wish they wouldn’t run the commercials between innings of the Phillies’ games; I have to hit the mute button. The Phillies are hard enough to watch on a good night.
I will predict this about the upcoming debate, which will take place after I have written this. It will be more of the same, and I will leave it at that. Let’s all be safe out there and enjoy all that Fall brings to our area. God Bless America.

Want to Play a Game?
Not the creepy Jigsaw kind, but the hang out on a Saturday evening with friends and play a board game kind.
When the weather cools o , our family tends to hunker down and stay inside. We have a ton of board games and really enjoy spending a ernoons playing games together. Some are more complicated than others, but we always manage to have a good time — even if we have no idea what we are doing.
In an age dominated by screens and digital entertainment, board games, and classic card games have been making an unexpected comeback. ese oldschool pastimes that we usually only played with our cousins at family parties are now becoming the focus of the party! From classic games like Monopoly and Scrabble to modern hits like Catan and Ticket to Ride, people of all ages are rediscovering the simple yet deeply engaging fun of sitting around a table and rolling dice.
One of the biggest reasons board games are regaining popularity is their ability to bring people together. In a time when much of our communication happens online, the face-to-face interaction that board games foster is
refreshing. Whether you’re playing with friends or family, the shared experience of strategizing, laughing, and sometimes even bickering adds a unique layer of connection that a video game or TV show just can’t match.

Risk. Now, there are games that cater to every interest and age group. From intense strategy games to lighthearted party games, there’s something for everyone.
Many new board games are designed to encourage cooperation rather than competition. Cooperative games like Pandemic challenge players to work as a team, creating an environment where shared victories feel all the sweeter.
Playing board games o ers a muchneeded break from our constant digital lives. ey allow us to unplug, relax, and engage our minds di erently. Plus, many board games require strategic thinking, creative problem-solving, and sometimes even a bit of luck — skills that provide mental stimulation without the overload of noti cations or pop-up ads.
e sheer variety available today makes the board game revival even more exciting. Gone are the days when your only options were Monopoly or
Love history? Try 7 Wonders. Into wordplay? Give Codenames a shot. Want something quirky? Exploding Kittens or Herd Mentality might be right up your alley. ere are even immersive storytelling games like Gloomhaven that turn a game night into a mini adventure. is resurgence has made “game nights” a staple social event. Friends gather for hours of fun, snacks, and the chance to try new games. e great thing about game nights is their inclusivity — whether you’re a hardcore gamer or a casual player, there’s always a seat at the table.
Some cafes and bars are even hopping on the trend, o ering board games as part of their experience. is relaxed and nostalgic form of entertainment proves that people are looking for more meaningful, interactive ways to connect.
So, next time you’re looking for something entertaining and social, consider dusting o that old game or trying out a new one or play a simple game of Gin or Setback. Fall is coming, so it’s time to start guring out what we can do inside!

Two Great Car Shows On Tap For the Next Two Saturdays
By Lou Hunsinger Jr.
If you enjoy muscle cars and spiffy Corvettes, the next two Saturdays will be great for you.
First, on September 14th, the 25th Annual Mopar Car Show will be held at Kaiser Brothers.
Next, not too far away, in Picture Rocks, another great show will take place — the Corvette Car Show the following Saturday, September 21st
The 25th Annual Mopar Car Show will occur at Kaiser Brothers Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep Dealership in Muncy, PA. Steve and Tim Kaiser are both club members and the corporate sponsor for the club’s annual car shows. Car Show Chairman Denny Garrison told Webb Weekly that this year’s 25th Anniversary Car Show will be something special. “There is a new surprise planned for all registrants, which will be revealed at the show.”
Garrison added, “We want this to be a memorial show, something that others will talk about in years to come. There will be 20 classes judged with trophies for First, Second, and Third place win-
ners,” he continued. “There will also be a Best of Show for both Classic and Modern vehicles.”
“We plan on a large number of vehicles to register for our show,” says President Denny Ackley. “We guarantee very elaborate ‘Goodie Bags’ to the first 100 vehicles to be registered, and we always run out of bags!”
Rob Beach, a member of the club, said that there will be a plethora of activities to enjoy at the show. From food vendors serving delicious treats, a Chinese auction, door prizes, a 50/50 drawing, a DJ for music, and this year, ‘Mopar Trivia’ will be added as challenging entertainment for all spectators. There’s something for everyone to enjoy!
“All proceeds from the show are donated to different local charities for children,” said Denise Spotts, a club member. “Mopar Muscle of Central PA donates annually to Camp Victory of Millville, which provides special camps for special kids within our community.”
To pre-register for the show, go to the Mopar Muscle website, www.moparmuscleofcentralpa.com, and click the
sign-up link. ose who pre-register will get a $5 credit o their $20 registration fee. ere is no commitment to attend the show by signing up, and all money is collected at the show.
e other notable car show coming up will be the Corvette Show. On Saturday, September 21st, the “Corvette Car Show” will be presented at the Van Rensselaer Park in downtown Picture Rocks by the Susquehanna Valley Corvette Club (SVCC). e SVCC is expecting around 150 Corvettes in the downtown Picture Rocks location. Here, you will be able to see many beautiful well-restored Corvettes from the 1950s up to the new mid-engine models.
is year, the Corvette Show hours are from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Registration begins at 9 a.m. until 11 a.m.
e cost of registration at the show is $20.00, and this year, there will be no pre-registration. Each of the rst 140 Corvettes to register will receive a free T-shirt.
e awards presentation will take place at 2:30 p.m. and include the Corvette classes C1 through C8, several special awards, and a 50/50 drawing. is is the 16th year of the show held in Eastern Lycoming County. e
SVCC uses the car show as their annual fundraising event, and the impact has been signi cant. To date, this event has raised approximately $150,000 for a scholarship fund at Pennsylvania College of Technology. e scholarship program was established in 2014 for students from a local eleven-county geographic area. Your participation makes a di erence!
ose students must major in either automotive mechanics or the auto restoration programs. In addition, the SVCC makes donations to many other local charities.
e Van Rensselaer Park in Picture Rocks is an ideal venue for this event as the area is a perfect backdrop for the cars. Everyone loves the smalltown atmosphere of the area. e Picture Rocks Borough and the local Fire Company are playing a very important part in assisting in the preparation for the event. e Fire Company will hold a breakfast from 7 a.m. until 12 p.m. Additional vendors will provide food ranging from hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, pizza, and ice cream. Additional vendors will provide food ranging from hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, pizza, and ice cream.
See you at the car shows!
May We Never Forget September 11, 2001
It is a day etched into the world’s collective memory—a day when the unimaginable happened and left an indelible mark on history. It was a day of panic, devastation, and profound loss, yet also a day of immense courage and unity.
September 11th is more than a date on the calendar; it’s a reminder of the fragility of peace, the strength found in unity, and the enduring importance of remembering those who were taken too soon. As we reflect on this day, we honor their memory.

Our Colors Do Not Run, They Ride on 9/11
By Larry Stout
The hijacked planes and subsequent crashes on the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and in the countryside outside of Shanksville, PA, on September 11, 2001, ranks as one of the worst days in American history. It had the shock e ect of Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination, and just like those events, there were signi cant consequences. However, as the years went by, these events that were almost unbearable at the time eventually became memories and then became history.
However, there is a group of patriotic citizens in Lycoming County who are determined not to let us forget the horri c suicidal attacks committed on September 11, 2001, by 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda, who committed the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil in U.S. history.
ese particular patriots are doing it in a good, old American way — they ride on motorcycles with an American ag on that same day, September 11th.
For twenty-three years now, this remembrance event has brought thousands of motorcyclists together to make a 42-mile ride through 14 communities in Lycoming County. ousands of bystanders stand
for hours watching the riders go by; many of these were not even born before 2001. And in their curiosity about this event, they would be reminded that America can be attacked if it is not prepared, and that preparation falls on all of us.
e Ride is an incredible annual event that has its own heritage. One of the ‘fathers’ of the Ride was a real father, Catholic priest John Manno. e man was a legend, and anyone who knew him loved him. I had the privilege of working side by side with Father Manno for several years as partners in the Heroin Task Force for faith-based organizations. His community involvement was also shown in his dedication to the Williamsport Fire Dept. and his impact on the 9-11 Memorial Coalition.

organizers of the 9-11 Coalition Motorcycle Ride, remembers that very first Ride, just four days after the attack. “We had no advertising with the exception of some phone calls and, frankly, little time to plan the first Ride. But Father Manno had the pulse of the local biker community and supported the effort.”
In fact, Father Manno hopped on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, which he named “Fred,” and rode with the others. Since Manno’s death on May 30, 2019, his motorcycle “Fred” is featured on a trailer in the Ride, symbolizing that Father Manno is still with us in spirit.
The Ride is free, but donations are appreciated. Those who wish to ride can begin to line up at 10:00 a.m. at the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company on Route 54, with the Memorial Service starting at 5 p.m. and the Ride itself begins at 6 p.m. Pedestrians are certainly welcome to walk around as the riders line up as just seeing these up close is itself a treat. There are also a number of vendors selling various patriotic items and food and drinks.
There have been those who have tried to ‘expand’ the Ride itself. The 9-11 Memorial Coalition Board of Directors are locked solid in maintaining the purpose and the heritage of the Ride. It is exclusively for freedom-loving, patriotic motorcyclists on their motorcycles. It is not for jeeps a-beeping, floats a-glowing, bands a-playing, or dignitaries a-waving. It is and always will be a motorcycle ride. Why just motorcycles? Because they were what began in September of 2001, and that is what is being remembered. It is also the only such event in the United States that has consistently been held exactly on the day itself, September 11th. There are other such rides all over the United States, but these are held on weekends. The Lycoming County 9-11 Memorial Ride is unique and will stay that way. It is historic itself, and
The service at 5 p.m. is worth attending just for itself. This year’s guest speaker is combat veteran Jake Norotsky, who works with the Wounded Warrior Project. After the solemn formalities, Father Manno had traditionally announced the beginning of the Ride with the words, “Let’s roll.” He was echoing Todd Beamer’s last words on Flight 93 as he and other men sacrificed their lives to stop the terrorists before the plane crashed at its destination in Washington DC, possibly the White House itself. Thus, to this day, the Ride officially begins with the words, “Let’s roll.”
In the midst of death and destruction on that horrible day, there were also heroes who should not be forgotten, some even right here in our community. Past events shaped our society and values. And someone has wisely said, “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.”
So, let’s roll!
September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month
September is Library Card SignUp Month, a time when the six libraries within the Lycoming County Library System (LCLS) join the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind parents, caregivers and students that signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning.
This year, Optimus Prime from TRANSFORMERS is the special ambassador, highlighting that there’s more

than meets the eye at your local library. Whether you’re looking to enhance your skills, find valuable information, or connect with fellow avid readers, a library card unlocks a world of possibilities. Libraries play a crucial role in children’s education and development, offering various programs to spark creativity and stimulate an interest in reading and learning. There is nothing more empowering than signing up for your own library card. Through access to technology, media resources, and
educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the

Held annually every September since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month coincides with the beginning of the school year and serves as a reminder and encouragement for parents to sign their children up for their very own library card.
When asked about the importance of Library Sign-up Month, Amy C. Resh, LCLS System Administrator, said, “A library card opens a new door to education and other experiences. There is
something for everyone at your local library, and if you can’t make it to the library, there are three outreach vehicles available to serve you at various locations throughout Lycoming County.”
Resh also noted that using your local public library is a form of financial literacy.
“When you check out an item at the library, the year-to-date total you have saved is printed on the bottom of your checkout receipt,” she said. “Many of our families see significant savings by using the library. In fact, there are patrons at each county library who have each saved more than $10,000 so far this year just by using their library or
the Bookmobile.”
Patrons who live, work or go to school in Lycoming County can get their free library card during open hours at any Lycoming County library: Hughesville Area Public Library, Jersey Shore Public Library, James V. Brown Library, Dr. W.B. Konkle Memorial Library in Montoursville, Montgomery Area Public Library, and Muncy Public Library. Visit lclspa.org for more information or to see the outreach schedule for the three vehicles: Bookmobile, Book’s Bus and Storymobile.
The Lycoming County Library System supports the PA Forward statewide initiative, which believes that when Pennsyl-
vania residents improve their command of five types of literacy – basic, information, civic and social, health and financial – they can achieve greater success as students, parents, employees, consumers, as citizens. Libraries are community centers of information, technology and learning that will fuel educational and economic opportunity for all of our citizens.
The Lycoming County Library System comprises the Hughesville Area Public Library, Jersey Shore Public Library, James V. Brown Library, Dr. W.B. Konkle Memorial Library in Montoursville, Montgomery Area Public Library, and Muncy Public Library. Visit lclspa.org for more information.
Fall is here! While the days are still a bit warmer than I’d prefer, the mornings are fairly crisp, and the scent of changing foliage is in the air. With the slowly changing weather comes the change of seasonal style. As we gear up to trade in summer clothes for winter wear, it may be a good time to review your wardrobe staples. Here is a rundown of some pieces to consider adding to your essentials list for fall.
Regardless of the season, a dress is a prized wardrobe must-have. is fall, I’m gravitating towards easy, throwon-and-go styles that can be worn with boots. I’m really liking Natural Life’s Christa Cotton midi dress. is knit shirtdress comes in one of three fall-fabulous prints. Another great print for the season to look out for in dress form is gingham. is pattern can be found in a maxi silhouette at Hope and Harvest or on Amazon as a ru ed babydoll mini.
You can also keep wearing your sun-
dresses into fall by pairing them with some lightweight outerwear. is season, the barn jacket is having a moment and looks great over ouncy dresses, as well as jeans and a henley shirt. Old Navy’s Canvas Barn Jacket is a deal and features a corduroy collar and a chic gold zipper and snaps. L.L. Bean’s Adirondack Barn Coat comes with a annel lining and can stand up to just about any outdoor autumn adventure when paired with hiking boots and denim overalls.
Speaking of denim, no fall wardrobe is complete without a great pair of jeans. Basic blue can be found at Levi’s, where I’m eyeing their 726 High Rise Flare jeans in a dark wash for fall, another great opportunity to wear boots with their ared leg. Or you can play against the old-fashioned rules of banning white a er Labor Day by sporting a bright white jean like Banana Republic’s Ultra Hight-Rise Wide-Leg Crop. Wear this with a black turtleneck and
See OUTFITS on Page 16

black loafers for a polished denim look. Another fall essential that we can all agree on is cozy knitwear. Slipping on something not too chunky and semi-luxurious, like Everlane’s Boxy Sweater in sage green, dusty rose, or poppy red, really helps you feel the autumnal vibes once the temperature drops. Or check out Pact’s Classic Fine Knit Wide Neck Sweater in a cool navy for a classic preppy look. Pair your notable knits with tailored trousers as casual summer turns into a dressing-up fall. Tailored trousers are no longer just meant for the o ce. You can wear Quince’s Stretch Crepe Classic Trouser pants, sneakers, a graphic tee, and a denim jacket just as easily as you wear it with a button-up and pointy ats. And tailored doesn’t mean tted or tight. ere are slouchy tailored trousers like Lo ’s Petyon Trouser Pants in Bi-Stretch that can be worn casually as well as for work.
I’ve mentioned boots a couple of times, and this year, I’m adding a Western-inspired boot to my fall look. You can go the authentic route with brands like Ariat or Idyllwind available at Boot Barn for pure cra manship with a state-
ment boot. Or you can do what I did and grab a subtle pair from DSW, like the Coconuts Legend Cowboy boot. Along with dresses and jeans, I plan on boot-scooting with a oral midi skirt, V-neck top, and “grandpa” cardi come October.
Of course, knee-high boots are timeless fall essentials, like Sam Edelman Penny Leather Riding boots, which you can wear over jeans or under wide-leg trousers. However, if you’re looking for less rugged footwear options and more elegance, step into a classy at like Naturalizer’s 27 Edit Carla Flat in black leather. e minimalist cut of this shoe and contour technology will make it easy for all-day wearability and chic-ability.
Additional essential items on your lists include crisp shirts, dainty jewelry, sleek belts, and minimalist handbags. Now, if you already have versions of these items in your closet, great! You have the start of a capsule wardrobe for the season. Just make sure they are cleaned, pressed, and polished. If not, add some or one of these classic essentials to your next shopping list to ensure a fashionable fall.

Lycoming-Clinton System of Care Empowers Children and Families
ne has simply to turn on the TV or look at their phone to see that the world is crazier than ever, and children seem to be getting the worst of it. It’s harder than ever just to be a kid, and the mounting challenges of living in these times can take a toll on their emotional well-being. This is where the Lycoming-Clinton System of Care comes in.
anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, trauma, and difficulties in social interactions. These challenges can hinder a child’s ability to succeed academically, develop healthy relationships, and thrive in their environments. Families affected by the emotional challenges find themselves navigating the complexities of available support and treatment; this can be overwhelming. Recognizing this, the Lycoming-Clinton System of Care seeks to provide a holistic response that addresses the children and their family’s needs while strengthening the family’s ability to advocate for themselves and their children.
Lycoming Mall Drive, Pennsdale, PA. 17756
The Lycoming-Clinton System of Care recognizes the urgent need for comprehensive support for children at risk of emotional challenges. It works to empower children and families through coordinated, collaborative, and community-driven approaches. This initiative provides a guide for supporting those who are most vulnerable. “The Lycoming-Clinton System of Care provides hope, empowering children at risk of emotional challenges and uniting families and communities with the support they need to thrive. Together, we foster resilience, nurture potential, and build a brighter future for all.” Says Cleveland Way, Program Director of the System of Care.
The initiative also helps those involved understand emotional disturbance in children. Emotional disturbances in children can manifest in various ways, including
The Lycoming-Clinton System of Care is structured around the core belief that every child deserves access to appropriate support tailored to their unique circumstances. This initiative aims to create a cohesive resource network that fosters resilience, promotes mental health, and empowers families to face challenges together. The system of care draws upon the strengths of local organizations, mental health professionals, and community stakeholders and is committed to four core values.

among schools, healthcare providers, social services, and community organizations to identify an integrated approach to care.
Family-Centered Care: Prioritizing a child-driven, family-focused care process, ensuring they have access to resources, training, and support that will develop a courageous voice in their treatment.
Cultural Competency: Addressing the diverse needs of families within the community by o ering culturally sensitive services and creating a care plan unique to the individual and not the whole.
Empowerment and Education: Providing families with the knowledge, skills, and con dence to advocate for their children’s needs within the mental health system.
“ e Lycoming-Clinton System of Care is more than just an initiative; it is a movement that seeks to rede ne how we approach children’s mental health,” said Way. e initiative also features Family Voice Together, which is a parent support group that believes in partnering with families and treating everyone fairly. “We aim to help families support one another and grow together—whether it’s adults, kids, or teens. We understand that families are essential, and they can help themselves, other families, and the community,” said Way. Cleveland Way went on to say that the initiative celebrates each family’s unique culture, race, and language while helping them succeed in a diverse world. In addition, Lycoming-Clinton System of Care programs connect with the community
and build strong relationships. e initiative also advocates for families to ensure they receive fair services that meet their needs. An integral part of this is the Lead Family Coordinator, who works closely with families to nd helpful resources and is exible when addressing new challenges that arise. Last, the initiative works to ensure that their family support values guide everything they do, from planning to running their programs.
As the Lycoming-Clinton System of Care takes shape, positive outcomes for children and families are reachable, reduced out-ofhome placements are possible, and community-based treatment is attainable. By fostering a community-wide commitment to mental health, we can create an environment where children feel safe, supported, and empowered to live ful lling lives. e initiative invites community members, organizations, and families to join in this vital e ort because when we come together to support our children, we foster a brighter future for all. “In today’s society, caring for our children extends beyond parental responsibility. e in uence and support they receive come from where we live, play, worship, and learn. We can make a di erence in a child’s life,” said Way.

I had some incredible race car. Everything was perfect, right down to my sweet Bonne. at thing was pretty darn sweet and was my freedom!
veryone will always remember where they were and what they were doing on the day the Twin Towers were hit. It’s been a few years since I shared my story of that day, so I thought I would share it again. Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Twenty-three years ago, I was just a sixteen-year-old girl who was a junior in high school. Living the dream and being free with a brand-new driver’s license and a boyfriend who was three years older than me. He was hotter than hot on the 4th of July. He had a sexy car, sweet braces, and a smile that would knock any high school girl on her feet. Ha, well, let them try to get a er my man with that smile. I’d knock them right o their feet!
Oh, I was a feisty sixteen-year-old who thought she had the world in her hands. e freedom of driving was a feeling I had never had before, and I was loving my newfound life. e world was perfect. My boyfriend was perfect. My sweet late 1980s Pontiac Bonneville was the big boat I drove around in. umpin’ music like it had some fancy Bose speakers and painting all the interior pieces, thinking
September 11, 2001, I went to school like any other weekday morning. I remember it being a beautiful morning that day — vivid blue skies. I couldn’t wait to get to school to see Chris every morning. Sometimes, he would pick me up in the mornings if he had the time. I mean, his car was so much cooler than mine. I’d meet him in C-Lot, and we would walk up together to the school.
It was a perfect Tuesday morning — for a school day, anyway. As always, Chris walked me to rst period, slapped a kiss on my lips, and we departed, not knowing that from that point on, our world would change forever. I went to third-period history class with an awesome teacher named Mr. Burget. I mean, what were the chances that I was in history/social studies class when history changed as we knew it? I remember the teacher from next door yelling for Mr. Burget. When Mr. Burget returned to our class, he walked quickly through the door. “Folks,

change of plans for today’s class,” he said as he walked over to pull the TV out to turn it on. “Something tragic just happened in New York City.”
We all sat and watched the replay of this plane hitting one of the Twin Towers over and over again — no one knowing what had just happened until that second plane hit. ere were so many gasps in the classroom, and I honestly don’t remember our class being so quiet a er that as we sat there watching in complete disbelief. I wasn’t thinking about my car or my boyfriend. I was thinking about these poor people stuck in these buildings hundreds of feet in the air, trapped by the re of a deliberate terrorist attack
on our country. ese innocent people who looked at that same blue sky that morning. e same people who were also in love and had families went to work thinking they would be home that night. Bodies started jumping from the windows of the trade centers. My stomach dropped. How could this happen? Why would anyone do this to our country? ese poor people jumped, knowing they would never see anyone they loved again. Later on, during the day, that’s all we watched in the classroom. Watching the trade centers fall and New York looking like a battleground. e plane that went into the Pentagon. Flight 93. is was all so much. My heart hurt. At sixteen years
old, I tried wrapping my head around all of this, not knowing that this day would stay in our hearts and minds forever. To think this was twenty-three years ago makes me feel super old. And two, I know that for every year that passes of the Anniversary of 9-11, that it will never be forgotten. All the people who lost their lives that day and families who never even got closure because they were never found in the large pile of devastation.
Folks, be thankful. I can’t say this enough. When you wake up in the morning and dread going to work, but there is a beautiful blue sky, stop and take it in.
On that beautiful crisp Tuesday morning on 9-11-01, those people thought they would be back home that night. But in a blink of an eye, their lives were taken away. ousands of devastated families all over the country. Millions of people’s hearts were broken as we watched. God has given you the gi of life; don’t take that for granted. Live each day to the fullest, and never forget the families of 9-11. Love your family a little extra that day. Tell them you love them. Be thankful for each and every moment.

What’s the big deal about grace? Many of us know that word only as a prayer said before eating . But its actual meaning is far more amazing, far more life changing . Grace is undeserved kindness, a gift that can’t be earned. And it’s the key to real relationships, both with God and with other people.
As shown above, that free gift is first between God and His People, and then between the People of God. In the next two Webb Weeklys, we’ll explain a little about each of those dimensions, and how you too can exp erience a life of grace.
Who are we? We’re a small group in Williamsport that is committed to being a church without the ritual and rites, without the formulas and formalities, a church that lives and connects and grows together in God’s grace. A different kind of church. Interested? Get in touch. Or watch for those ads.
Grace. You know, it might be just what you’re looking for.
Pot Liquor for Pigsneys: These Don’t Mean What You Think
By Joseph W. Smith III
s I continue collecting weird words in my regular reading, I recently came upon dogsbody — which, it turns out, has nothing to do with dogs. It reminded me of alewife, which is not related to wife — and likewise fishwife, which is only secondarily connected to fish.
I began to think what other selections on my massive list would fall into a category we might call “words that don’t mean what you think.”
The Catcher in the Rye. Borrowed from German (and for this reason, sometimes capitalized), this word is related to “building” — in the sense of forming, erecting or constructing (i.e., growth). Meanwhile, roman is German for novel; it can also be found in such lesser-used terms as roman a clef and roman noir (like film noir, but in book form).
Bumf (BUMF, noun) – According to the worthy but idiosyncratic Collins English Dictionary, this weird word means “superfluous documents, forms, publicity material, etc.” It is British slang and can also mean — in a secondary definition comically related to the first — toilet paper.
After culling about 40, I noted that many — like those above — are plants or animals; or they have a creature in the name. So we’ll save those for the future, and in the meantime, here’s a handful of oddball terms that betray our assumptions about what they actually mean:
Bildungsroman (BILL-doongs-rowmahn, noun [pronounced with the oo in good]) – While it sounds like some sort of architecture (perhaps from the era of the Caesars), this actually refers to any novel about the growth of a young protagonist — in other words, a “coming of age” story, like Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, Huckleberry Finn or
There is some disagreement on whether this term originates from the sense of “worthless or idle” (i.e., lazy bum) — or the other kind of bum, on which one would use… well, a piece of bumf, I guess.
Dundrearies (dun-DREER-eez, noun) – Seeming to combine the common word dreary with the lesser-known dun (a brownish-gray color), this must surely mean something sad, somber, depressing, etc. But no; it is rather a term

WEIRD WORDS
for long whiskers or sideburns without a beard — i.e., muttonchops. And like that latter word, it is always plural. (In other words, there is no such thing as a “dundreary.”)
According to dictionary.com, this unusual word comes from the name of a character who sported these — one Lord Dundreary in Tom Taylor’s 1858 play Our American Cousin.
Hoplite (HOP-lite, noun) – With its modern-sounding su x, this comes across a recent word, perhaps referring to something swi , jumpy or low in calories. But it is actually a rather old term
for “a heavily armed foot soldier of ancient Greece” (from the terri c Random House College Dictionary). Its origin is in the Greek word hoplon — a piece of armor, particularly a shield.
Pigsney (PIGZ-nee, noun) – Longago term for sweetheart or darling, esp. a female; it can also mean “eye.” I have not been able to clarify its origin, but in any case, it is now “archaic” or “obsolete,” and thus longer known or used. ank God.
Pot Liquor (pot LICK-er, noun) – In these columns, I try to limit my selec-
tions to single words; but I couldn’t resist this phrase — which I rst encountered in To Kill a Mockingbird, where Jem tells his younger sister that their father, Atticus Finch, “loves pot liquor better’n any man I ever saw” (Ch. 23).
At rst, one thinks this must be some sort of intoxicating substance, but of course that doesn’t t with Mr. Finch’s well-known character.
Here, the “liquor” is simply a liquid — while the “pot” is an actual cooking vessel. So pot liquor is the tasty broth in which meat or vegetables have been cooked.
Trencherman (TREN-chur-man, noun) – Sounds like somebody who
digs ditches, yes? But it’s actually a heavy eater — someone with, you might say, a hearty appetite. Trencher is an obsolete word meaning food or good eating; but you can hardly help thinking of somebody “digging in,” right?
As I said, in prepping this column, I had actually picked out several dozen of these “words in disguise.” But as usual, we are out of space a er covering a mere handful.
Oh, well; at least I’ve got a theme for the next few weeks. ose future columns hope to include boomslang, niblick, lickerish, ho-dad, pantechnicon and the truly priceless pissasphalt. See you then.

It was a good t for both him and the company, as my dad was instrumental in the process of making the line painting machines operate correctly, and he also enjoyed the convenience of walking to work. On the company’s side was an e ective worker who would eventually stick around for almost forty years.
When my brother Tom graduated from Montgomery Area High School
in 1973, he joined his father at the company, which was now named Linear Dynamics. He and Dad worked together for sixteen years until my father retired in 1989. Tom continued, as the See LION on Page 34

en, in 2004, the M-B Companies took over the factory and moved it out of the Montgomery borough and into an industrial park on Route 405 in Clinton Township. M-B Companies, Pavement Marking Division, is one of the very few companies in the United States that produce vehicles that provide road painting service to customers nationwide.
Both Tom and my father had the unique position of creating specialized
parts that would be necessary for the specialized trucks. As the older folks retired one by one, Tom eventually became the senior worker. In fact, he was so much older than the new workers he got the nickname, the ‘Legend’ because of his longevity.
Tom’s job was never easy, but he never was a quitter. Like his father, life was not kind to him. Tom went through some tough health issues through the years and also su ered with the loss of loved ones. Yet, he also had a sense of responsibility to the company as his father did, and did not want to leave

until the factory could fill his shoes. As the years kept going by, he struggled with the younger generation behind him. Many of the workers were in their twenties, even including some of those who were his managers. Eventually, all things do end, and on Thursday, August 29th, 2024, Tom Stout finally clocked out for the last time. The company honored him with a plaque and a nice noon meal for the entire factory, which our family was invited to attend. It had a sense of history. I heard several of the workers trying to imagine what it would be like in the factory without the “Legend.”
Counting the four years that Tom was in the USAF in the late 1970s,
he retired with 51 years with the same company. Between him and his father, it represented a Stout working continuously for this same company for the past 75 years! Yes, this may seem like nepotism, but I believe these two are true role models. I know personally that their work was challenging in many respects, but both my father and brother accepted the good with the bad. They were not supermen but men who hated to quit or be defeated. Their commitment to their employers was a trait that made them better men. As Proverbs 13:4 tells us, “A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.”

Note: is is the h article in a series called Two Roads. Previous articles are always available at www.webbweekly.com.
In addition to death, gravity, and grace, let’s consider the other things found on both the roads, the Road to Death and the Road to Life.
Rest Stops
Traveling consumes resources. A traveler must stop and refuel regularly. is is true on both roads. Remember, there are only two roads; you’re traveling on one of them right
A rest stop provides an o ramp without ever taking you o the road you’re on. It’s not an exit. When you leave a rest stop, an onramp puts you back on the same road. Rest stops are necessary and good. God designed them into creation. On the seventh day, He rested from work. See Genesis 2:2. He even included rest stops in the Ten Commandments. He called them Sabbath days. See Exodus 20:8-11. Jesus regularly used rest stops. Luke 5:16 tells us that Jesus o en withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
James Howell wrote about weariness and the need for rest stops in 1659. His proverb
is so timeless that we still quote it today: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. One of the biggest mistakes travelers make is not resting regularly and fully. Weariness is dangerous on both roads. It makes us dull. It diminishes awareness, slows re exes, and results in poor decision-making.
Yes, on the road to Life, regular rest is vital. Weary Life-road travelers will sometimes make very risky decisions, and at high elevations, doing so can result in a devastating fall.
“No U-Turn” Signs
If you miss a turn or change your mind as you’re traveling, a U-Turn can x it. A U-Turn takes you back to a place you’ve already passed and lets you make a di erent decision. It’s a do-over, a second chance to get it right. When you need it, a U-Turn is a blessing.
However, the Road to Death and the Road to Life are both plastered with “No U-Turn” signs. ere is no going back, no do-overs, no second chances. Once a decision is made, it can never be unmade. Once something is said, it can never be unsaid. All travel on both roads is relentlessly forward. ere is no going back, no U-turns. is is one of the hardest realities we face as travelers.
With that in mind, it is vital that all travelers be aware of one more item found on both roads.
Exit Ramps
Tim Hartzell
While there are no U-Turns, there are exit ramps on both roads. Because there are two roads, you always have the option of leaving the road you’re on and joining the other.
For those traveling the road to Death, exit ramps are always just ahead. You can leave the road to Death whenever you want. God’s grace is always putting an exit ramp right in front of you. It’s possible this article is today’s exit ramp, a grace provided by God to help you see it and take it. Friend, you can exit the road that leads to Death right now. Read John 3. Remember, grace is available, and it can empower you to overcome the force of gravity that is pulling you toward Death.
For those travelling on the road to Life, exit ramps are also available, but they lead to steep cliffs and dangerous drop-offs.
Travelers on the road to Life gain elevation.
When they choose to exit the road to Life, gravity takes over, and it pulls them toward a cliff, a tragic fall, and a devastating impact. But grace is fierce. It doesn’t release its grip easily. Travelers on the road to Life who contemplate taking an exit ramp will encounter warning signs and waving red flags, letting them know they are approaching a cliff. Fellow traveler on the road to Life, is it possible you are contemplating an exit right now? You are weary and worn. You’ve been faithfully serving God. You’ve been selfless and willing to sacrifice to do the right thing, to be the right thing. You have gained elevation. You are well-respected, and your world is a better place because of you, but it has come at a painful cost to you.

Mayor Urged to Place Limit on Picketers
Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.
Appeals to impose restrictions upon strikers at the R&G
Knitting Mills, Third and Park streets were be-
ing made to Mayor Charles D. Wolfe, by the Williamsport Civic Club and a delegation of parents of Clay School pupils.
The complaints, spokesman said, grow out of the conduct
of persons along the picket line that has moved along West Third Street in front of the mill for the last four weeks.
Mrs. Thomas J. Hanne, president of the Civic Club made the appeal only after residents of the vicinity enlisted its assistance.
She exclaimed, “We feel that when citizens in that vicinity appeal to us. It is time for the
Fisher’s Cabinet Shop
club to take some actions.”
The Clay parents will ask the mayor to take whatever steps are necessary to protect their children coming and going from school. They said the 114 pupils must pass the picketed plant and that yesterday and today the children had to walk along the curb or on the grass because picketers occupied the sidewalk.

Tree Stand Options and Safety
By Jon Pries
The statewide archery antlered and antlerless deer season opens in just over three weeks (Saturday, October 5, to be exact), and as the season progresses and nears that “magical” time of the rut, bowhunters will be spending an increasing amount of time in the woods.
While hunting from the ground or in a ground blind can be successful, most would agree that a tree stand places the hunter in a much more advantageous position. Many of the tree stands have already been put into place, but some might be moved based on deer movement or new ones installed. With the all-too-o en reports of tree stand accidents and incidents, it might be a good time to consider incorporating some common-sense safe practices when using any potentially dangerous devices.
— even during the most active rut times. us, pinpointing a spot where two or more active trails from bedding to feeding areas intersect should be a great location, or at the edge of a food plot where a well-used trail will also serve as a good spot to position a stand. From a safety standpoint, a primary consideration needs to be the selection of the exact tree you plan to use. It needs to be large enough in diameter and it needs to be as straight as possible. A tree with a larger diameter will help break up a hunter’s outline and, more importantly, will provide a much steadier platform for a tree stand. e straighter the tree, the more easily and more safely it can be climbed with a climber stand or attached to a ladder stand.
Ladder stands and climber stands have evolved greatly since their initial models, and today, there are dozens of models and options available. e key here is to NOT skimp and NOT try to buy the cheapest ones available. is is truly where an investment of a few more dollars will pay o in the long run. A higher-priced stand will generally be of greater quality, with heavier material used in its construction.
Most hunters will agree that the location of a stand is critical. You can’t just erect a stand “somewhere” in the woods and expect a great deal of deer movement around you
Erecting a ladder stand or prepping an area you have selected for a climber stand is a two-man job. Particularly when placing a ladder stand, it is even smarter to have three people available to perform the task. For safety’s sake, this is simply something that one person should not attempt. It is not a matter of how strong you think you areit is a matter of how smart you should be! ink safety and use common sense! Ladder stands can vary in height, generally ranging from 15 to 20 feet from the ground to the platform, with the seat being a comfortable height above the platform. e taller stand may require a larger tree to provide a strong enough base for attaching the stand. With a quality, heavier-duty stand, the weight can easily run around 100
pounds, and therefore, when you begin to pivot the stand upward toward the tree, there is a great deal of torque involved — thus, the need for two or three people to erect it safely. Once the stand is up and safely secured to the tree, having more than one person involved will allow the clearing out of shooting lanes to be a much smoother operation as well. The hunter can remain in the stand and point out the limbs that need to be removed rather than make numerous trips up and down the stand to clear the paths if he was alone.
Climber stands are a horse of another color. Although just one person will use them, common sense would tell you that a second individual nearby is a smart idea during initial preparation. There may be limbs to clear on the actual tree you will use for the
stand and side branches from other trees that may need to be trimmed for shooting lanes. During this trimming process, there may be some stretching out beyond a comfortable level that needs to be done, and having a second individual standing by is a smart idea. Climber stands are simply not for everyone. It is important to recognize and respect your individual limitations and your comfort level. If you are not at ease prepping for or using a climber stand, the ladder stand is what you need to use for your hunting.
If you have not yet placed your tree stands, there is still time to do so, but the sooner, the better so that wildlife can settle back to their normal travel patterns before the season begins. Again, think about safety and use common sense.
Now that September is here, turkey hunters are on the lookout for potential hunting locations. Each week, in my daily travels, I have spotted hens with their broods and, in some cases, three or four gobblers in a group. On the other hand, I’ve talked to some turkey hunters who say they haven’t been seeing as many turkeys as in the past. e Game Commission has indicated that there has been a bit of a decline in turkey numbers over the past few years.
Another reason turkey numbers decrease is from predation; this is particularly true during the breeding and nesting season. Turkeys nest on the ground, and when predators move in, poults go into hiding-they scatter and freeze at the hen’s warning call. ey remain motionless until the hen gives the all-clear call. Needless to say, some of the poults don’t survive.
e Game Commission has o ered several reasons for the decline, one of which is the uctuation in nesting success and poult survival. According to some gures I found from a study done in 1967, 20-25 percent of all poults perish from June through September, and the average annual mortality from all causes varies from 60-76 percent.
Weather, such as exceedingly heavy rains, can certainly be a factor, particularly during the nesting season. Diseases and other environmental factors may also add to the decline.
When it comes to predators, turkeys have plenty to watch out for. Some of the critters turkeys have to be on the lookout for are foxes, bobcats, coyotes, mink, raccoons, opossums, skunks, red squirrels, and, oh yeah, those stray cats roaming about.
More recently, the sher, a furbearer recently returned to the wilds of Pennsylvania, will also attempt to feed on turkeys. I sometimes hear people say the shers are taking too many turkeys, but recent studies have indicated that shers account for a very small percentage of turkey mortality. ere’s more to this list of predators; how about all those ying predators? Hawks, eagles, and even horned owls prey on nesting hens.
Ken Hunter
Well, those are some negatives regarding our wild turkeys, so what are some positives?
Turkeys exhibit some pretty interesting physical properties. Like most birds, turkeys have excellent eyesight. I’m sure you know that, especially if you have ever hunted turkeys, you know the slightest movement will send them o in the opposite direction. Turkeys can y at an estimated 40-55 m.p.h. and cover over a mile while airborne. ey’re not too bad on the ground either in that the strides of a running gobbler have been measured at four feet, and their top speed is estimated at 18 m.p.h.
Well, those are some of the negative and positive points regarding our wild turkeys, but there is one more “negative” to add to the list: negative if you are a turkey but positive if you are a turkey hunter. Hunters also take a pretty good number of turkeys each year, including both hens and gobblers. e fall turkey season gets underway in most WMUs on Oct. 29, but be aware that the fall closing date varies depending on the unit. Some WMUs end on Nov.5, some on Nov. 12, and some on Nov. 18. WMU 5B is only from Nov. 1-3. Make sure to check out the regulation booklet for the correct ending date.
That about sums it up! But if you’re not into equations, perhaps an explanation is due.

Regardless of the back-toschool schedules of individual school districts and the curriculums involved, many students have begun the task of mastering mystifying mathematical tasks. However, for Wellsboro’s Craig West, solving the above-noted mystery has been top-of-mind since long before school bells rang.
West, a retired businessman and current football o cials’ assigner for the Northern Tier League, is responsible for the juggling act of providing game o cials for the NTLs’ 13 footballplaying schools. e task is proving akin to placing square pegs in round holes.
West began stating the dilemma by noting, “We have 13 teams in the NTL. Some weeks, there are seven home games; sometimes, there are six. I’m in charge of getting o cials for all home games. We have four available crews (six o cials to a crew). erein lies the problem. We don’t have enough crews to cover all the games that are scheduled for Friday nights. We do ask for help
from the PHAC (Heartland Conference) when they have extra crews le over, but they have one less crew than they had last year.
“Because we are short-crewed I wait until the PHAC schedule comes out and they are able to let me know what weeks they may be able to provide help. We are all self-employed contractors, and their o cials don’t have to do games in the NTL, but they help us out when they can.
“Friday night football is when the schools like to play their games. In determining our o cials’ schedule, I told our guys they are going to work every Friday night. en, I had to wait until the PHAC could verify how much help they could provide. If they can provide two crews that allows us to cover six home games. at then determines how many games we needed to move away from Friday night.
“Once I had this information, I contacted the NTL athletic directors and let them know which weeks I need games moved. I don’t have any authority to move games, so their help is paramount. To nalize that process,
we held a meeting with the ADs in early August. We had to move 16 varsity games from Friday night, and at that date, I still had seven games that needed to be moved.
“There were some weeks we didn’t have to move any, but in week five, we had to move four. Some schools elected to move games to Thursday, while others preferred Saturday. All the schools in the league moved at least one game, but one school is playing four home games that are not on Friday.
“When we are using the PHAC officials, I try and schedule them for games at either Montgomery, Muncy, South Williamsport or Northwest so they don’t have to travel as far.”
It gets further complicated when a school moves a varsity game to a Thursday, which sometimes affects a scheduled Junior High game. Schools like their Junior High teams to be at varsity games, so whether it is a home or away Junior High game, those games are often moved.
West noted his NTL chapter has twentyeight members and welcomes more as every year presents new challenges.
“This year, we added three new officials, and over the last four years, we’ve gained a dozen officials. But those gains are comprised of officials we lost due to injury, age, or moving out of the area.
“The PIAA has a program that allows high school-aged kids to officiate Junior High games alongside certified officials. This is a good way to introduce young people to becoming officials. From my experience, it is not widespread, but we certainly welcome anyone interested in becoming an official to contact us.
“The reason I got involved in officiating 50 years ago as a college student was it gave me good gas money. I liked it and have been doing several sports ever since.”
This season, compensation for officials varies based upon the level of play. At the JV and Junior High level, officials are paid $75.00 per game. Varsity football plays $90.00 per game.
The rescheduling of Friday Night high school football games surely messes with our preferred fall routine, but given what’s being faced, it is merely an inconvenience. Few among us haven’t voiced our displeasure regarding an official’s call. But truth to tell—no officials, no game.
An 1895 Mary T. Lathrap poem contained the message, “Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.” This is a reminder to practice empathy. Keep that in mind when your Friday night plans change to Thursday or Saturday. Better yet, take a test, grab a whistle, and put on the striped shirt; then Friday nights can become more permanent for everyone.

y articles are submitted on Friday. My lovely editor has everything else nished, and she is patiently waiting. I do my best not to leave her hanging. I have been on a roll here lately. Perhaps I conquered my struggles with mobile freelance procrastination. Yes. ere are so many great stories to tell. I lost count. But I believe it has been 18 fun seasons of part-time scribing. I owe a lot to the Webb Weekly. e feedback and praise are amazing. Sometimes, it is overwhelming. I enjoy the many interactions with my tales. ere is never a dull moment in Lycoming County. Getting to know our local student-athletes is fantastic. I have been very blessed to have several other gigs that allow me to do this. Many years of coaching and broadcasting, but writing is my favorite. It keeps me in the loop.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FOOTBALL? Dude. I have been calling games for 20 years now. I have a resume in my pocket. I would like to chime in on something in particular. I tend to stay out of the social media drama. But there was a story that was trending. First, let me say that I love Hughesville. I have nothing but respect for their great community. Long story short. ere was a football banner that was taken down Monday. Many teams in the area honor their senior members with these large photos. We did the same thing back when I was coaching. is removal caused a stir. It went viral immediately, too. Everyone seemed to have an opinion. I wasn’t going to respond until my lovely bride told me more of the story. Everyone was talking about it. It was everywhere. I then made a few calls.
By now, week three of the high school football season is in the books. And instead of recapping a game several days later, I tend to rebuke. I love watching or calling a game. ere is something very special about our Friday Nights. My mother always said that I had a face for radio. I have been in the business for several years. A lot of people still give me a hard time. I get a few strange looks when I am shaking hands. Most folks know that I am a basketball guy. ey are rather puzzled when I plug in my headset. WHAT
I reached out to Jackson Lunger, a youngster from Hughesville. He was the one who was pictured. My man was wearing a hat and some shades. JD had a chain around his neck. He was holding a jar of grape jelly in one hand and a tub of peanut butter in the other. Personally, I thought it was hilarious. In fact. I have seen several of these tributes where the seniors use props to get creative. Unfortunately, someone with a microscope eventually complained. ey found it so o ensive. Administrators agreed. It was removed without reason.
Jackson, aka JD, is a great kid. I really enjoyed talking with him. He is an honor student, and he plays baseball. JD loves to tinker. He works on cars or anything with an engine. Well-spoken lad who enjoys shing. I was moved by his conversation. Yes. We spoke about a number of things, but I wanted to hear his side. He laughed and seemed to be handling it just ne. Instead of bashing everyone and pointing ngers, Jackson took everything quite well. He wanted to thank the folks who reached out as I told him he was the most popular kid in Lycoming County. ey are now selling T-shirts and mugs as a fundraiser. FREE JD. Peanut Butter and Jelly sales have since tripled. He mentioned the team has rallied around it. ey are not trying to think of it as a distraction. Jackson did his best to explain. His hat is from a popular
ranch in Texas. JD and his friends have many of their clothing. Does it say Whiskey? Yes. But not in that context. e chain around his neck symbolizes his brothers. A team is only as good as your weakest link. is reference is quite common. Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches also have their special meaning. JD and the other linemen usually share them before and a er practice. Again, folks, who knows what will happen? e banner is still down. Maybe it will be back up over the weekend. I will say that there are far more important problems that require our attention. Everyone needs to calm down and relax. Don’t judge a book by its cover. JD is the man, and there is nothing o ensive with his banner. Our school administrations sure are quick to act without asking questions. ink. Cheers.
