For those of you who might skip my column this week because I’m writing about sports, there’s a message in here for most everybody. Actually, there may be more than one when it comes to those who want to use athletic competition as a hot button to divide the American people.
As I was watching the amazing crowds cheering on the home teams in the Major League Baseball playoffs, it got me thinking. I stated in a past column that I turn off or mute out all the political advertising during a ballgame. Certain voices are like nails down a chalkboard every time I hear them. That’s probably a conversation for closer to the election, as I believe the commercials are intended to do that by the candidate’s choice.
Now, back to where I was going, the large crowds rooting for Philadelphia, New York, San Diego, L.A., Kansas City, Cleveland, and Detroit show me that the fans really don’t care if the person next to them is a Republican or a Democrat. They only want to see their team win and advance, and they will
give them a high five when this happens. Wouldn’t it be nice if our elected leadership could do this no matter who wins the election?
I’m passionate about sports at every level, and focusing on the game and the winning part goes right along with keeping the score. I have never once heard of anyone that plays, coaches, or is involved with the team in any manner care what party a fellow team member is. I understand that the closer you get to local athletics, the more people will know what a person’s political views are.
I have friends that are Republican, Democrat, and Independent, and those I don’t think even care. I’ve never really asked unless they brought it up. I have friends who think the Trump-Harris election will decide the fate of the world and others who think it’s just another step into our nation’s history. I have friends who want to talk about politics in detail and those who would sooner focus on sports, hunting, or something I always love talking about — food. It doesn’t really matter to me what we talk about; they’re my friends.
Another great thing about sports — college and professional — is you’ll never find more diversity.
The more diverse a professional or college team is, the better for the city, university, and fan base they represent. This should not be a surprise as they usually represent the melting pot of where they are located. However, if the center on the basketball team just happened to be Dikembe Mutombo, God Rest his soul, and he is the only player from the continent of Africa, he will become loved and embraced. Yes, there may have been a point in our nation’s history when I couldn’t have written this, but that’s not the case today.
The sports world lost Dikembe and Pete Rose this past week. Both legendary sports figures, Dikembe was a Hall of Famer in every aspect of life and was beloved for his efforts. Pete Rose had his demons, and I don’t see that Hall of Fame vote happening anytime soon.
The bigger the stage an individual performs on, the better the chance their true character and integrity will
be revealed. I think the American people are very forgiving, especially when it comes to athletes and celebrities.
There are certain lines that once crossed, however, an individual can’t recover from. I think an example unfolding right before our eyes is Sean “Puffy” Combs, also known as P Diddy. As each day passes, more comes out, and I’m a big believer in innocent until proven guilty.
I foresee the mainstream media coverage and bias towards individuals involved with Combs becoming as nauseating as the political reporting. Again, I have faith the American people will see through this and the truth as the case plays out.
Well, I’ve covered a lot of ground, and one thing I’m always clear about is sports should be a break from reality and never a place for personalized political statements. I’m a big there’s no letter I in the spelling of team, you’re representing the name across your chest.
I think the same philosophy should be applied to the R and the D accompanying a candidate’s name. It’s not about you; it’s about Team USA.
God Bless America.

From the Editor… Girlz in the Hoodie
As Breast Cancer Awareness Month continues, I would like to tell you about a local organization that is helping to make women going through BC treatment and post-mastectomy patients more comfortable, all while raising money to support the children of those who have lost a parent to breast cancer.
According to girlzinthehoodie.com, “Mastectomy patients o en su er frequent hot/cold moments while feeling sore or having limited range of mobility for dressing and access to pleasing comfortable garments is not always easy to nd within hospital boundaries. And there’s nothing packed in the go-bag because there’s so many worries on the mind already.”

With your help, they can reach each institution nationwide.

dressed in bandages and drain tubes, you’ll reach for something that is easy to put on. Except — I did not bring any clothing that I did not need to pull over my head! is is a very simple thing one would not think twice about until it happens. Unfortunately, I didn’t even have these items easily accessible at home. I had to ask my daughter, Catesha, to bring anything she owned with a zipper to make things easier for me. It’s very chilly in the treatment rooms, so the hoodie was perfect for me and made it easier for the nurses to access my port. In the end, I had three more constructive surgeries, and the zip-up hoodies were exactly what I needed!

Chrissy Heinbach, founder of Girlz in the Hoodie, understands the necessity rsthand. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy in 2008. “My story is like millions of others who are ghting breast cancer.

I recalled how the simplest gestures and comfort items helped me through this di cult stage of life.

nized that breast cancer affects more than just the patient. Families are affected, too.
“Although the breast cancer battle is challenging for the individual, we know it affects the families just as much. It’s a battle for everyone in the home. The financial burden of medical bills often takes priority over savings like student college funds. There was a need for our scholarship that we wanted to fulfill. Our program is an additional way to support families affected by breast cancer.
“Every April, we reach out to participating schools in Lycoming County to award a $1,000 scholarship to graduating seniors. Each student must be attending a certified 2 or 4-year college and have a parent or guardian who has lost their life to breast cancer, or who is currently in the fight, or is in remission. The application consists of telling a little backstory of their journey with breast cancer and how this scholarship will help in furthering their education. “It is a truly bittersweet endeavor — on one hand, we wish graduates wouldn’t
have to apply because breast cancer wouldn’t exist. At the same time, we’re more than happy to help families in a different way and enjoy reading the individual journeys with this disease.”
Their scholarship program is now in 150 schools in 14 states! Incredible!
In addition to donations and buying hoodies, there is another way to support this amazing organization.
On October 26th at New Trail Brewing, Girlz in the Hoodie will be hosting what might be the most amazing raffle I have ever heard of.
They will be raffling off CASH prizes. Tickets are $100 each, limited to 2,000 tickets. They will then raffle off the following:

Liberty Band Festival
Joseph W. Smith III
The 13th annual Liberty Classic band festival, featuring 116 musicians from a dozen states, is set for the weekend of Oct. 18-20 in Williamsport. As always, the event concludes with a free concert at the Community Arts Center at 1:30 p.m. that Sunday.
Initiated in 2010 under the baton of Col. Arnald Gabriel, the festival this year will be conducted by the distinguished Anthony J. Maiello — now retired from teaching and conducting at George Mason University and SUNY-Potsdam’s Crane School of Music.
Having hosted more than 250 players over the years, the Liberty Classic Community Band Festival brings musicians from around the country to rehearse and perform in Williamsport. It is organized and hosted by the city’s world-famous Repasz Band, currently headed for its 200th anniversary in 2031.
Every year, Liberty players arrive on Friday to practice that evening and most of Saturday, followed by a banquet
at the Genetti Hotel that night. There is a final dress rehearsal Sunday morning and then a free public concert in the afternoon.
“Because music touches the heart and soul,” says festival chair Judith Shellenberger, “the Repasz Band proudly hosts the festival as an outreach musical gift to the community. The festival provides outstanding musical experiences for dedicated musicians who perform the highest-quality band literature.”
This year’s program includes compositions and arrangements by John Williams, Eric Whitacre, Camille Saint-Saens, Alfred Reed, Julie Giroux, Carmen Dragon and John Philip Sousa. The Sunday concert will offer such tunes as “America the Beautiful,” “Danse Macabre,” “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “Gypsy Dance from ‘Carmen’” — together with one possible surprise.
In a fitting tie-in, Williams’ “Liberty Fanfare” was originally commissioned for the centennial celebration of the Statue of Liberty in 1986; it continues the festival’s regular practice of always playing least one tune with “liberty” in its title.
In addition to his work at Mason and Crane, Maiello has led festivals and clinics throughout the United States, as well as Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas and Europe. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Ithaca College; conducted for the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, NY; and serves as guest clinician for Yahama and Warner Bros. Publications.
This year’s 122 registered musicians and guests include folks from Alabama, Ohio, Virginia, Vermont, Georgia and Kansas.
“Many musicians bring their family members, who will watch the rehears-
als and explore Williamsport’s many attractions,” adds Shellenberger — who also serves as business manager for the Repasz Band. She likewise notes that a large number of 2024’s registrants have attended the festival for at least 10 of its 13 years.
“Besides the outstanding musical experience,” Shellenberger explains, “musicians return for the warm hospitality of the Genetti Hotel and to perform in the beautiful Community Arts Center.”
The Oct. 20 concert is free and open to the public. Watch also for the Repasz Band’s annual holiday concert, slated for the CAC at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 10.

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…
The Sandwich Technique
No, this isn’t a guide for how to craft the perfect lunch, but instead, a method for building outfits in much the same way you think about building a sandwich. The sandwich technique is simply matching an element of your top half (a top or jacket) to an element of your bottom half (pants, a skirt, or shoes) and sandwiching a contrasting item between. For example, if I wore a brown sweater and blue jeans, I’d opt for a pair of brown shoes. Essentially, I am “sandwiching” the denim (the meat of the sandwich) between my two brown pieces (the bread of the sandwich).

pickles, but I enjoy matching accessories. Here are a few outfitting ideas using the sandwich technique.
The sandwich method can expand beyond color to fabrics, textures, aesthetics, and proportions. Tweed jacket with a tweed skirt and a silk blouse in the middle. Biker jacket and combat boots, with a flirty dress. Oversized blazer, wide-legged pants, and a fitted/ cropped top. You can also utilize your accessories, like a pickle garnish with the sandwich technique, by matching purse and belt to your “bread” of shoes and a top. Full disclosure: I do not like
Color is by far the easiest means of a successful sandwich. Try a red sweater and red shoes as your bread with a filling of a neutral separate like a beige skirt or gray trousers. The contrast of neutrals with the red pieces will help make the bread pop for a visually striking look. While you could pair your red with equally vibrant colors, that could throw off the balance of your sandwich. Some other color combos to consider blue button-up with jeans as the filling and an olive-green jacket and boots as the bread, especially here for fall. Grey dress, black cardigan, with black tights and loafers. This could even work with a patterned dress as filling to contrast the darker slices of bread. Note: Your bread doesn’t have to be two items; the tights and shoe combo works as a “slice.”
B esides color, consider playing around with proportion for your sandwich. For a casual look, try a pair of fitted cropped jeans as your filling, then sandwich

them with an oversized t-shirt (potentially semi, or fully tucked in) with chunky sneakers. You could leave the tee untucked, but to set off the slimmer jean, I’d definitely tuck the tee. On the flip side, a barrel-fit jean can be contrasted with ribbed knit, cropped cardigan, and slip-on sneakers. For a dressier outfit, try a billowy blouse definitely tucked into a wide-leg trouser as your bread pieces, with a belt as the filling. The belt will cinch the waist to create a contrasted proportion. A third flirtier sandwich that plays on proportion is a cropped bolero-style jacket with ankle boots as the bread and a full skirt as the filling. Here, the filling is the more voluminous option, while the bread slices are the more fitted elements of the look. Texture and fabric can also be the basis of your sandwich approach. Try the good old Canadian tuxedo: a denim jacket and jeans as your bread, with a long-sleeved tee as your filing. I’d recommend playing around with contrasting shades between your jacket and jeans. Maybe a black denim jacket with a lighter-wash jean, or a darkwash bottom with more of a chambray type of shirt with a tee underneath. Or go full-on acid wash with the whole thing for your 1980’s Halloween Costume.
Of course, your material and texture don’t have to match for a successfully styled sandwich outfit. For instance, pair corduroy pants with a wool blazer for your bread with a lightweight knit sweater as your filling. The heavy material contrasts with the finer knit, even if the bread pieces aren’t in the same fabrication. The reverse also can work, with a slip skirt and scarf as your bread and a heavier sweater as your filling. However, if you do want to match up texture, try leather. A leather jacket with leather boots works as your bread, with a turtleneck and wide-legged jeans as your filling. Keep in mind that the bread doesn’t always have to be garments; accessories work as your bread slices. Take a leather bag and leather shoes with a jersey wrap dress as the filing.
Needless to say, the sandwich technique can be interpreted in many different ways. Essentially, this is about creating a visual balance in your look. And it’s a great trick, especially if you’re in a rush and not sure what to wear. The sandwich technique is also an easy way to refresh your wardrobe and style different outfits from pieces you already own. It’s a trick that you can use time and time again, no matter the season or the trends.
County Hall Corner: Key to Victory is the Keystone State
By Larry Stout
As I noted in this column two weeks ago, polls are about as reliable as palm readers. One thing that appears to be true, however, is that the Keystone State will be the key to whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump becomes president of the United States. The popular vote is interesting, but it has nothing to do with who will occupy the White House in January. The prize goes to the candidate who gains a simple majority of 270 or more electoral votes from the 538
electors representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Most of the states are pretty fixed as “blue” (Democrat Party) or “red” (Republican Party). In fact, there are really only seven states that are considered up for grabs: Nevada (with 6 electoral votes), Wisconsin (10), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), North Carolina (16), Georgia (16) and our very own Pennsylvania. It is the prize among these states as PA has 19 electoral votes, ranking 5th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
If the election were held today (which
would confuse many people as they expect it to be on November 5th), and assuming that the ‘red’ and ‘blue’ states will vote as such, Trump/Vance could reach 281 electoral votes by winning four of those seven
states; Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. Without Pennsylvania, Trump would have to win one on the Great Lakes: Michigan or Wisconsin. Both are strongly leaning Democratic, so for Trump, it would seem his path is Pennsylvania or bust.
For Harris/Walz to be victorious, they must win Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, but also must win either North Carolina or Georgia to reach the 270-vote threshold. Quite frankly, without Pennsylvania, it seems extremely doubtful Harris/Walz could win. So, putting it all together, one way or another, Pennsylvania will be on the finish line of this race.
This explains why both presidential wan-
See COUNTY HALL on Page 20
COUNTY HALL
nabes have been campaigning quite actively, particularly in western Pennsylvania. Both are trying to widen their popularity as polls show Trump gets 88% of the Republican vote and Harris gets 88% of Democrats. Among Pennsylvania voters una liated with either major party, Trump receives 47% to Harris’s 41%.
Pennsylvania is arguably the most ‘down the middle’ state in the United States and has been for almost a decade. Trump won Pennsylvania in his 2016 race over Hillary Clinton by a narrow margin of 0.72 percent. In the 2020 election, Joe Biden won the state by just 1.17 percent. e di erence was the edge that Biden had as a result of his roots in Scranton, the sixth most populated city in Pennsylvania. It also helped that he was Catholic, which goes a long way in Scranton, which at the time was one of the most Catholic cities in the country. Harris does not have Biden’s advantages, but that is not the only handicap the Vice President has in the Keystone State.
Democrats top Republicans for total registered voters statewide — 3.9 million compared to nearly 3.6 million — but that is not the end of the story. Republicans have registered more new voters in Pennsylvania this year through August (103,745) compared to Democrats (97,444). e Democrats will certainly win big in Philadelphia and Allegheny counties, to be sure, but in the rest of the state, they are trying to hold ground, whereas the Republicans are gain-
ing. is is evidenced in many counties, especially in western Pennsylvania. Beaver County had twice as many Democrats than Republicans in 1998; this year, the Republicans now have 3000 registered voters more than the Democrats. Fayette County had three times the number of Democrats to Republicans in 2000; Republicans now have 7,000 more registered than the Democrats. Washington, Westmoreland, Indiana, and Butler Counties have seen signi cant increases in Republican registrations versus at or marginal gains on the Democratic side. Butler County especially took o for the Republicans. Twenty years ago, there were 51,700 registered Republicans in Butler County, and now there are 80,800. In that period, the Democrat Party saw a drop of almost 3,000 registered voters. is explains why the Western part of Pennsylvania has been getting so much attention from Kamala Harris and Donald Trump recently. Supposedly, a signi cant portion of the voting population is still not sure who they are voting for.
But for us in the north-central part of this Keystone state, we should go to the polls or get our mail ballot in the mail because this election will resonate for a long time. Sadly, one-third of Pennsylvania citizens historically do not vote. For those in that category, remember the words of President Barack Obama, “ ere’s no such thing as a vote that doesn’t matter.”

Apple Season
WAndrea McElroy
hen fall rolls around, we all look forward to our seasonal favorites. Some people are pumpkin people. Some people are apple people. And some people are like, forget both of them, and would rather have a pina colada while wishing summer would stay forever. I’m thankful to live in Pennsylvania and have seasons. Watching the leaves change and fall to the ground like snow akes is something I would miss. I love the glow of pumpkins in our home, and of course, I can’t pass up a yummy pumpkin shake from Diamond Square Market! But apples seem to get put on the back burner. When September 1st rolls around, it’s like…
“Deck the halls with bows of pumpkin! Fall-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.”
(See what I did there? Man, I am cheesy, but I crack myself up!)
*insert cheesy smile here*
But seriously, I have nothing against pumpkins at all. I love pumpkin. But apples have a lot to o er, too!
In fact, this time of year, I love stop-
ping by local orchards and getting a bunch of delicious apples. is year, they just seem extra good. ey are so big, extra crisp, and sweet. I enjoy coming home and surprising my husband with a bag of big, beautiful, freshly picked apples for his lunches this time of year. He eats one daily, and you know what they say - An apple a day keeps the doctor away. So eat up! Honey crisp and granny smiths are my favorites. I love dipping them in caramel this time of year. Baked apples, apple dumplings, apple cider, apple crisp, and the list goes on! I have been making a crockpot full of applesauce the past few Saturdays just to keep our freezer stocked. My family loves my applesauce all year round, and I absolutely love how good it smells when cooking in our kitchen. What’s your favorite apple recipe?
Here is one I think a lot of folks enjoy. Whether hot, cold or even frozen, it’s a perfect autumn treat! is will make your home smell absolutely amazing! So get your crockpot out, turn it on low, and let the cinnamon, spices,
and apples do their thang. Apple cider is perfect this time of year. Make this for a family gathering, a fall party, or just on a chilly fall night with some hot soup to pair with it. I will also include my Crockpot Applesauce recipe too. is recipe is one of my favorites. Let me tell you, butter makes all the di erence. It adds something that just makes you want to shake your hips when you take the rst bite. (At least for me, it does. Haha!)
Yes, it’s that good. Trust me! Have I ever let you down?
Crockpot Apple Cider
Ingredients:
• 5 or 6 apples (I used red and green)
• 1 orange
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1/4 tsp. ground all spice
• A few small cloves
• 8 cups of water
• 1- 1/2 to 3 cups of sugar (all to your likin’ and how sweet you want it!)
Directions:
Wash and cut apples.
You can leave the seeds and everything because you strain it anyway after cooking.
Place apples in the bottom of your crock pot. Add all the ingredients except the sugar. Let cook on low for 6-8 hours. Watch your orange though. If it cracks, take it out, it may make your
apple cider taste bitter. It has never happened to me yet.
Stir every once in a while if you get the chance. About an hour before the cider is ready, mash your apples real well with a potato masher. Cook for one more hour.
Finally, strain the apple cider into a

Police Chief Asks Patriotic Children to Curb Vandalism
Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.
Police appealed for parental supervision to help curb damaging vandalism and promote the safer riding of bicycles.
To implement the bicycle program, police find people riding without lights, and will require the bike owners to report to police headquarters within 24 hours with a light on the bicycle.
Names and addresses of the violators will be filed until they demonstrate they have equipped the vehicle with proper lights.
Chief John G. Good said the children have done a marvelous job in salvage work, garden activities and buying war stamps and bonds and have outdone adults in patriotic efforts during this year, and he added that he feels that most vandalism is just lack of juvenile realization of the damage involved.
The problem this year is enlarged
more than ever because of the shortage of critical materials, unavailability of certain of mechanics to make repairs of damaged property and the fact that many household items are no longer on the market.
Just last night a porch railing was broken in a Halloween stunt that will require an expenditure of sorely needed manpower and scarce materials to replace, the chief said.
The need for greater bicycle safety is paramount now because of them in use because of the rationing of tires and gasoline.
The Motor Vehicle Code requires that all bicycles be equipped with a light visible for 500 feet in front of the vehicle and a reflector button, visible for 500 feet to rear of the vehicle. Failure to comply can result in a fine of $2 and costs, the Code is provided under Section 80, subsection G, paragraph Number 3.

Seizures, or sudden, individual uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain, may show a wide range of symptoms including mild confusion to full bodily convulsions. People may associate seizures with epilepsy, a neurologic disorder characterized by repeated seizure activity. However, people can experience seizures for other reasons. While they may be alarming, it’s important to know what to do if you find yourself in a situation that requires help.
Understanding Seizures
An intricate network of neurons makes up your brain. They communicate via electrical impulses, and seizures occur when there’s a sudden burst of electricity. They typically last a few seconds or a few minutes, and can affect your feelings, movements, or behaviors.
There are two main kinds of seizures: focal seizures and generalized seizures. Focal seizures start in one area of the brain and may or may not involve loss of awareness. Twitching, strange sensations, or repetitive movements may be signs of a focal seizure. Generalized
seizures, which include absence, atonic, tonic, clonic, tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and febrile seizures, involve the entire brain and usually result in a loss of consciousness. In addition, a person might stiffen and experience jerking movements along with tongue biting or loss of bladder control.
Not everyone who experiences seizures has epilepsy. Other possible causes include:
– Head injuries
– Infections
– Stroke
– High fever (especially in children)
– Drug or alcohol withdrawal
– Electrolyte imbalances or low blood
sugar
What To Do if Someone Has a Seizure
It may be frightening to witness a seizure, but knowing what to do to help while staying calm is vital.
1. Time the seizure – Most seizures last one to three minutes. If it lasts longer than five, call 911.
2. Protect the person from injury – Do not restrain the person and let the seizure run its course. While it is happening, cushion their head, remove nearby sharp items, and if possible, guide them away from any other dangers.
3. Turn them – Turning the person on their side during a seizure helps to keep their airway clear and prevents choking if there’s excess saliva or vomiting.
4. Stay – People are usually disoriented after experiencing a seizure. Staying with them and offering reassurance will help them until they’re fully alert. As mentioned before, it’s important to seek emergency care if the seizure lasts longer than five minutes. If the person is experiencing their first seizure, is injured during the seizure, they are having difficulty with breathing after the seizure, they don’t regain consciousness, or if they experience multiple seizures in a row, you should also call 911.
Whether you have witnessed a seizure or have experienced one yourself, knowing about the condition and what to do can provide a safer environment for everyone. If you or someone you know is dealing with seizures, do not hesitate to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and management.

Lickerish Over Niblicks & Peekapoos: Final Batch of “Words in Disguise”
By Joseph W. Smith III
f you’ve followed “Weird Words” over these past months, you might recall such oddball vocab as diapir and poddy-dodger. Despite appearances, neither has anything to do with bodily functions; the rst is a geographical rock formation, the latter an Australian cattle-thief.
Both de ned in older columns, they are instances of what we’re calling “words in disguise” — that is, terms that don’t mean what you think. Today, we o er our h and nal article on these — before moving on to more seasonal linguistic fare.
Here’s a baker’s dozen (with pronunciation where necessary):
Bairn (BAYRN) – With its apparent similarity to both barn and cairn, one can be forgiven for assuming this to be a structure of some kind. But no: It’s just a Scottish term for child (“a wee bairn”).
Blunderbuss – While it can be a foolish or stupid person (which it kinda sounds like), this more commonly refers to a wide-muzzled musket that scatters shot at close range. It is not related to blunder, but comes instead from a Dutch word for “thunder” (as when you
re one).
Corvid – I tend to misread this as COVID, mostly because I’ve seen the latter so o en. By contrast, corvid is short for Corvidae, a huge family of bird species including crows, jays, magpies and nutcrackers. Fittingly, if you look this up on Wikipedia, the rst thing you’ll see is “Not to be confused with COVID-19.”
Farctate – Sounding like a verb for some gross bodily mishap, farctate is actually an adjective: “having the center solid but so er in consistency than the peripheral layers” (Merriam-Webster). at de nition frankly makes no sense; apparently it’s used to describe certain fungi. Meanwhile, other sources de ne this obscure word as “stu ed” (or: “the state of having overeaten”) — with Wiktionary adding, somewhat unhelpfully, that it’s an anagram for artefact. So yeah — maybe we better just avoid this one altogether.
Lickerish – Pronounced just like the candy, this is also an adjective; it means lustful, lascivious — or, relatedly, greedy about food. It is likely related to lecherous, though that latter word is pronounced with the ch of chase rather than the k in lickerish — or licorice … which doesn’t even have a k!
Sheesh, our language sure is confusing. Lousewort – Most English words with a -wort suffix are plants — several of which we mentioned here two weeks ago (figwort, pennywort, navelwort). This is another — a flowering plant so named because it was once believed that sheep got lice after eating it.
(Louse is the singular of lice — that former being a word we don’t use much because, sadly, they are rarely found alone. But that is where we get our word lousy!)
Niblick – Sounds like something you do with your mouth, right? But most golfers will recognize this as a club with a sharply angled face, used when a short, lofty shot is needed (like out of sand or long grass); also called a nine iron. “Origin unknown.”
Peekapoo – Like many words here, this is easily misread — or maybe you just assume it has a typo in the third-to-last spot. But actually, peekapoo is a something called a blend. Covered earlier in “Weird Words” (just google rubbage webb weekly), these combine elements from two existing words — like brunch, smog and, yes, rubbage.
A peekapoo is a type of dog — resulting from the friendly interactions of a Pekingese and a poodle.
Pissasphalt – With stress on the first syllable, this is related to asphalt; it means “a sticky semi-liquid form of bi-
tumen that is similar to tar” (Collins).
The first syllable is a form of the tarword pitch (as in pitch-black).
Psychopomp – I can’t pin down exactly what ideas this term conjures up — but I’m sure it has nothing to do with the actual meaning: “leader, conductor; a guide or conductor of departed souls; a name given to Hermes” (from the massive Webster’s Deluxe Unabridged).
Whangee (wang-GEE) – Type of Asian bamboo; or, a walking stick made from this.
Willywacks – Uninhabited woodland; more commonly, willowwacks (from Collins online).
Withywind – This is not related to our noun wind, but rather to the verb for twisting (as in “winding around”).
Withywind is an alternate name for bindweed, which Merriam-Webster has thus: “any of various twining plants (especially genus Convolvulus of the morningglory family) that mat or interlace with plants among which they grow.”
Several of the definitions above are from my newest favorite possession — a glorious fourth edition of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. Picked up for a song at the most recent James V. Brown used-book sale, this eight-pound beauty will be the subject of our next Weird Words. See you then — unless one of us meets a psychopomp first….
Intensified Vulnerability: King David
Note: is article is in a series called Two Roads. Previous articles are available at www.webbweekly.com.
King David had just nished a long series of military campaigns (II Samuel 10). Being anointed king was heady stu , but the work of unifying and securing the far reaches of his kingdom was exhausting. He decided it was time for a well-deserved break. When his army marched toward the next season of bat-
tle, David stayed home to experience some long-overdue rest and relaxation. Bathsheba was a beautiful woman. Her husband, Uriah, was one of the warriors marching with David’s army. Late one evening, she went up on her roof to bathe in water warmed by the a ernoon sun.
It just happened to be the same evening that King David was on his roof, reveling in a Judean sunset.
As the red and orange hues of twilight stretched across the sky, David caught

sight of a shepherd’s distant camp re as it rose and mingled with the evening mist. His mind dri ed back to pleasant memories of being a shepherd boy. ose were simple times. e pastoral scenes wandered aimlessly through his mind. His body felt limp as his muscles relaxed and released months of tension. is moment was exactly what he needed. If David had one vulnerability, it was women, and he had a lot of them. Being king had its privileges, but most people didn’t understand that it had more to do with politics than it did with passion. It is di cult for commoners to understand, but David longed for something real, something not scripted or required by his royal responsibilities. He wanted to remember what it was like to be a man, a man in amed with passion. He caught a glimpse of Bathsheba. At rst, he resisted the urge to stare. She belonged to a warrior, and that warrior was on his battle eld. She was forbidden fruit. David knew he could not have her, not even with his eyes. at fact intensi ed his desire. He gave in and stared. Seeing her was not
enough. He must have her. And why not? As much as he had sacri ced for his kingdom, he deserved some reward. at night was wild and raw. David was oating. For a moment, the law of gravity had been suspended and he felt more alive than he had in months. And then it was over. He hated himself for what he had done to her and to his faithful warrior Uriah. It was unseemly and dishonorable — beneath the dignity of a king. As quickly as he sent for her, he sent her away. And that was that. About a month later, David received word that Bathsheba was pregnant. With no husband at home to provide an explanation for her condition, he devised a cover-up. He sent for Uriah and encouraged him to spend a night with his wife. It didn’t work. e next night, David got him drunk. at didn’t work either. Uriah’s loyalty to his men amplied David’s guilt and angered him. He arranged for Uriah to be killed in battle. e plan worked. David took Bathsheba for his wife under the guise of another political responsibility. Cover-up complete. He got away with adultery and murder — an awful story.
And then God sent Nathan the Prophet to expose David’s crimes. As Moses warned in Numbers 32:23, “Be sure your sin will nd you out.” Friend, God loves you and has a purpose for your life. Be assured, He will

not let you live a duplicitous life. He will expose your sin. It is His convicting grace, given to free you of bondage so you can reach your holy potential. Instead of hiding sin, confess it. It will bring healing. See James 5:16. So, why did David cave in to temptation? What was it that intensified his vulnerability? One likely answer: physiology. Today, we know something about the human body David didn’t know. While taking a break from the stress of war, David’s Autonomic Nervous System was shifting gears to help his body reach homeostasis - a medical term for healthy balance. Had David known about the automatic systems functioning in his body, he may have been better prepared to resist temptation. During war campaigns, the sympathetic side of David’s ANS, the side controlling the fight or flight response, had been working overtime, pumping adrenaline and cortisol through his body. His muscles were always tense, his mouth dry, and his appetite diminished. His heart rate and blood pressure were elevated to better supply his brain and muscle. His pupils were dilated for greater vision. He was never tired and could go for days without sleep. But what really amazed him was his lack of sexual drive. David had an affinity for the ladies, but during the war, his sex drive was nearly non-existent.
Adrenaline gave David a sense of being super strong — almost superhuman. It was exhilarating. David thrived on it. In today’s terms, he may well have been an adrenaline junkie. The ANS is truly fascinating.
A few days into his rest, David began noticing changes in his body. He was sleeping a lot, and as soon as the sunset was over, he planned to go back to bed. The meal he had just finished was more than he would eat during three days of battle, but he was already snacking on dates and almonds. His muscles, which had been flexed and tense for weeks, were now feeling limp and heavy.
David didn’t understand that the parasympathetic side of his ANS was slowly taking over. His glands released melatonin, oxytocin, and testosterone instead of adrenaline and cortisol. The melatonin was responsible for his sleepiness, while oxytocin and testosterone were re-awakening his appetites — one of them being his sex drive.
All this was happening inside David while he was enjoying that beautiful Judean sunset. He was totally unaware, and for that reason, he wasn’t prepared to deal with the temptation he saw bathing on Uriah’s rooftop.
But now you are aware. What safeguards will you put in place to protect yourself the next time one of your vulnerabilities is intensified?

Commonwealth Charter Academy Girl Scout
Earns Prestigious Gold Award for Homeless Shelter Upgrades
Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania is honored to announce Brylea Starr, from Lycoming County, has earned the Girl Scout Gold Award and is now part of the 2025 Gold Award class.
The Gold Award is the greatest achievement a Girl Scout can earn. It is available to high school Girl Scouts who tackle pressing issues and create sustainable changes within their com-
munities, ultimately making the world a better place.
Starr’s project focused on addressing the available amenities at a local homeless shelter, dedicated to serving women and children. She updated two rooms at the YWCA Northcentral PA’s Liberty House, creating a safe and welcoming playroom for children and a peaceful relaxation room for women. Over eighty hours were devoted to planning,
problem-solving, fundraising (including selling over 6000 boxes of cookies) and implementing her ideas for these much-need renovations. Her project’s mission will continue as residents have been tasked with keeping the rooms organized and shelter staff will handle larger maintenance needs.
The Gold Award process not only encourages girls to help their communities, but also provides them with longterm, tangible benefits as they grow as individuals. By going Gold, and striving to secure this coveted award, girls build professional skills, build their network, and have the opportunity to earn scholarships towards their futures. For those
interested in serving their country, they have greater likelihood of enlisting at a higher pay grade when they join the military.
The impact of Starr’s Gold Award project will be felt long into the future, not only by fellow members of the community, but by the next generation of Girl Scouts, who are able to see what they are capable of.
For more information about the YWCA Northcentral PA’s Liberty House visit this website https://www.ywcawilliamsport.org/get-help/housing-and-homelessness/ or call (570) 322-4637.

Give your family the opportunity to refuel and reconnect each week with recipes that bring everyone together. Whether it’s 10 people or two, research shows that those who enjoy frequent meals with others, particularly parents with their children, have better social and emotional well-being, according to the American Heart Association.
Enjoying great conversation and camaraderie is at the heart of every meal, and with the right dishes, you can make every bite as delicious as it is nourishing. Ingredients like eggs are affordable, easy to use and versatile, making them the perfect choice in the kitchen to help you cook up conversation.
Gently cooked egg yolks take center stage in this Egg Ravioli with Sage and Almonds recipe, and delicate poached eggs rest atop whole grains in the Poached Eggs with Pesto Bulgur recipe. If breakfast is the best time of day for your tribe to gather, whip up these Southwestern Quinoa and Egg
Breakfast Bowls for added protein and fiber.
These egg-inspired recipes and more are part of the American Heart Association’s Together Tuesdays and Healthy for Good Eat Smart initiative, nationally supported by Eggland’s Best. Both initiatives stress the importance of gathering at least once a week around the table with family or friends to satisfy cravings for connection, a delicious meal and overall healthy living. In addition to the social and emotional benefits of dining together, shared family meals can help promote healthier choices at the table.
Eggs, for example, can be included as part of a heart-healthy diet that emphasizes vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, whole grains, lean protein and fish, according to the American Heart Association. Remember not to isolate just one food - it’s not only about the egg, but also about what’s eaten alongside it. For example, eating eggs alongside foods high in saturated fat - like bacon - is different than eggs eaten with steamed veggies, whole grains or a side of fruit.
For more heart-healthy recipe ideas and conversation starters to make Together Tuesdays a tradition in your household, visit heart.org/together.

Egg Ravioli with Sage and Almonds
Recipe courtesy of the American Heart Association
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
• 8 cups water
• 1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh, chopped thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 gyoza wrappers, shumai wrappers or wonton wrappers
• 4 large egg yolks, unbroken
• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh sage
• 1 tablespoon nely chopped red bell pepper (optional)
Directions:
Fill large pot with water. Bring water to gentle boil over medium-high heat. In medium bowl, stir ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, thyme, orange zest and pepper.
Place four wrappers our sides down on cutting board. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese mixture onto center of each wrapper. Using back of spoon, press down on cheese mixture to create well about 1 1/2 inches across (width of large egg yolk), leaving at least 1/2 inch space around edges of wrapper. Without breaking it, carefully place one egg yolk in center of each well.
Using pastry brush, brush edges of wrap-
Using pastry brush, brush edges of wrappers with egg white. Place one top wrapper with our side up on each bottom wrapper. Using thumbs and fore ngers, rmly press edges together to tightly seal each ravioli. Set aside.
Using slotted spoon or spatula, carefully drop each ravioli into boiling water. Cook 2 1/2-3 minutes, or until wrappers are al dente (cooked not too so but not overdone). Using slotted spoon, gently remove raviolis from pot, draining well. Transfer to plates. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with almonds, sage and bell pepper, if desired. Tips: Gyoza wrappers (or shumai wrappers) are preferred because they’re thinner than wonton wraps. Look for gyoza wrappers in the dairy aisle, deli department or freezer section.
Use these guidelines to determine how you want eggs cooked: At 2 1/2 minutes, eggs are yellow and slightly thickened but not set around edges, similar to sunny-side up. At 3 minutes, eggs are deeper orange and slightly set around edges, sim-

Local Strongman Adam Grimes is not only an inspiration to strength athletes in Pennsylvania but also got a chance to motivate Special Olympians in New York earlier this year. In April, Grimes received an invitation from Mike Murray, Director of Powerlifting for the New York State Special Olympics, to put on a special strength presentation at the New York Summer Special Olympics. The games took place on June 15th in Ithaca, New York, with more than 1,000 athletes and their families in attendance. The athletes competed in a number of different sports, including powerlifting.

to Ithaca for the demonstration and speech. “When we arrived, I was amazed at just how big the games were. Numerous buses, carrying hundreds of athletes, followed us in, and nearly as many volunteers as well. After a brief search, we found the powerlifting and met up with Mike.”
After a brief warm-up, Grimes went right into his performance.
“Coming off of my win at the Pagoda City Showdown in May, I only had a few weeks to prepare for my demonstration,” said Grimes. “So, I began to work on a motivational speech and had to decide which feat of strength to perform for the demonstration. There were a lot of different options; I settled on a deadlift for repetitions as that would be a relatable movement for the athletes.”
Grimes went on to say that his days of preparation passed quickly, and he was off
“For my demonstration, I deadlifted 500 pounds for a total of 11 reps. The audience was great. They cheered me on and shouted encouraging words. After the lift, I went right into my speech. I was a little winded but didn’t let that hold me back. I wanted to give the athletes some encouragement and some words of advice as well. So, I told them the story of how I overcame injury to set a world record through the power of faith. I also advised them to keep lifting even if they compete in other sports. Overall, I had a great experience in Ithaca. The audience was great, and it’s something I’ll never forget.”
On a more personal note, Grimes was back on the lifting platform. On September 7th, he competed at Pennsylvania’s
Strongest Man, which was held at Victory Brewing in Parkesburg, PA. This would be Grimes’ fifth time competing. “I devoted a lot of time training for this competition,” said Grimes. “Normally four days a week with training sessions lasting 2-3 hours. We were given a list of the events ahead of time, so we knew what to expect.”
Events included a lever deadlift ladder where each athlete would have to lift a series of handles attached to a beam on a pivot. Each handle approaching the pivot point was harder than the one before. A Conan’s wheel, where the athlete would have to pick up a bar in the crook of their arms weighing 600 pounds and walk in a circle as far as possible. A duck-walk where athletes carried two implements, one weighing 450 pounds and one being 500, down a 20-foot run as fast as possible. The fourth event was the Viking press, which entailed pressing a 325-pound implement overhead as many times as possible. Finally, a max keg load where the athlete had three attempts to lift as heavy a keg as possible over a 52-inch bar.
“We started the day off with the lever deadlift. This was the event I was most looking forward to, as I even built my own lever to simulate it. Unfortunately, warm-ups didn’t feel the best, and neither did the event itself. I managed 4 lifts in just over 14 seconds, which gave me third place in this event.
The second event was the Conan’s Wheel, another event I was greatly looking forward to. This is a grueling event that’s not
uncommon to see athletes pass out on. I put in a solid performance, walking 188 feet for another third place.
The third event was the duck-walk. I was especially not excited for this event as I had suffered a minor back injury training for it. Performing the event, I was a little cautious but managed to complete it in 32 seconds. This was another third-place performance.
Fourth was the Viking press. Overhead pressing isn’t always a great event for me, but I am confident on a Viking press. I managed 16 reps which was just one rep shy of joint second place on this event.
The last event was the keg load. I was excited for this as I haven’t had many opportunities to test my loading strength. Unfortunately, at this point in the show, I didn’t have much of a chance to take first, so I just had to make sure I didn’t lose second place overall. I was very strategic with my lifts and successfully hit 390 pounds. I did take a crack and 435 for my last attempt, but it wasn’t quite there, but it would not have changed the overall standings anyway.”
Overall, Grimes had mixed feelings about his performance. Though he felt he underperformed and did not compete to his fullest abilities, he is still able to lay claim as the second strongest man in Pennsylvania. “I just would like to thank my mom, dad, and wife for their support and encouragement they give me. I couldn’t do it without all of you. And, of course, I give all to God.”

“The Rising: The Twenty-Year Battle to Rebuild the World Trade Center” by Larry Silverstein c.2024, Knopf $35.00 368 pages
If it was easy, everybody’d be doing it. But it’s not, so you’re on your own. Think of it as a challenge. Seriously, you’ve never known a roadblock you couldn’t go around, no fence you couldn’t climb, no chasm you couldn’t jump. It’s true that nothing’s ever as easy as it could be, but as in the new book “The Rising” by Larry Silverstein, when did that ever stop you?
World Trade Center that morning, he watched those towers fall from his Manhattan home.
His ties to the World Trade Center began in the late 1970s.
Silverstein was a broker for office leases and a “rather small” property developer when he landed a construction contract for the “last... piece of land in the World Trade Center complex.” He was excited, but it would mean years of wrangling through several political administrations, fundraising efforts, and quite a bit of risk on Silverstein’s part to finish the project. More than once, the building’s construction was under question.
If it weren’t for his wife’s insistence, Larry Silverstein would be dead.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, he had a dermatologist’s appointment that he’d wanted to cancel but his wife urged him to go. So, he did, and instead of being at his regular table at Windows on the World in the North Tower of the
By 1986, Seven World Trade Center was finished, but Silverstein was not. On July 24, 2001, he stood for a photograph in front of the complex with a large symbolic set of keys in his hand, to celebrate his new ownership of the leasehold on the World Trade Center.
Weeks later, the towers were attacked by terrorists and, like most Americans, the Silversteins watched the World Trade Centers collapse. The next morning, he
But that, too, proved to be easier said than done. ere were insurance issues to deal with, fundraising, contracting, developing, and more politics. ere was de nitely a need for what Silverstein envisioned. People seemed excited. He just had to build it.
If you’re Of A Certain Age, you undoubtedly remember where you were when the Twin Towers fell. Says author Larry Silverstein, the terrorist act a ected people from around the world. In “ e Rising,” he writes about that day and about what happened in constructing the buildings themselves, before and a er.
Covering more than y years of le-
galities, politics, business, and nances, this book is rich with detail that goes beyond the doggedness of constructing buildings. On the other hand, this book is overloaded with detail that goes beyond the doggedness of constructing buildings. One aspect is entertaining, if you’re the right business-minded reader. e other perception could be unbelievably dull, especially if you want the tower’s story without the nitty-gritty of legalities, politics, business or nance.
If that’s the case, go into this book with a willingness to skip pages. You have full permission. Yes, “ e Rising” can be thrilling and almost fun to read. It can also be a not-so-easy book to stick with.

‘Pawty’ Tips for Celebrating Your Pup
It’s no secret — people love their pets. Last year alone, people spent $147 billion on their pets, according to the American Pet Products Association, which included throwing what has turned into one of the hottest invites on social media these days: pet parties. ere have been more than 1 million posts using #DogBirthday to show o these celebrations.
With dog birthday parties and adoptions being celebrated across the country, entertainment ideas can be borrowed from regular parties - but the special guests will need to be taken into account when planning a party designed for pooches.
Plan a pup party with these tips from Mindy Weiss, a best-selling author and event planner for notable celebrity clients.
Plan for a Place to Play
When hosting a dog party, make sure there is plenty of space for the pups to play, whether it’s a fenced yard or a large indoor area. e more room they have to zoom around, the happier (and safer) everyone will be.
Keep the dogs entertained with activities like a ball pit, kiddie pool or basket of tennis balls. If you’re feeling ambitious, hide treats around the yard
for the dogs to nd. It’s a great way to keep their tails wagging and their minds engaged while they have a blast.
Personalize Party Details
Subtle accents can elevate any party. Pick a theme that can come to life through the decor and details, such as a “retro dog disco,” where both the humans and dogs can dress up. Small touches like personalized dog tags or themed water bowls and dog treats can make any pet party a memorable event.
Avoid Party Crashers
When guests and dogs are moving indoors and out, alongside (o en messy) food, ying insects will likely try to sneak their way in. at’s why no party is complete without this top pet party essential - the STEM Attracts and Traps Flying Insects Light Trap. It is people- and pet-friendly when used as directed, insecticide-free and uses a so UV light to attract ying insects with a dual-sided, re llable cartridge to trap them. It can also be used throughout the home in kitchens, garages, around pet feeding stations and more.
Remember the Pup Parents
Don’t forget about the humans. While the dogs are the guests of honor, the humans might also enjoy a nibble. Consider staying on theme with mini hot dogs, bone-shaped pretzels or “pup pop” cake pops. Bring on the Besties
Just like humans have best friends, dogs do too. Before sending out invites, make sure the guest list includes dogs that are friendly with your pup and play well with others. A little pre-party check can help ensure everyone has a good time. (Family Features & STEM)
Proper Steps to Check Tire Pressure FALL CAR CARE
hanging temperatures and prepping for road trips are good reminders to check tire pressure, but the reality is, vehicle owners should make it a habit to practice tire safety monthly. Even if tires may appear normal, they’re one of the most important elements of a car, making it critical to perform routine maintenance.
Here’s how you can check tire pressure on your own:
• Press the gauge down on the stem of the tire for a few seconds, and don’t fret when you hear the air hiss - it’s normal.
• Locate a tire pressure gauge, whether it’s one you nd in your garage, borrow from a neighbor or purchase at a local auto parts store.
• Check pressure in the morning before the car has been used or let it cool down for a few hours a er use. Friction from driving causes tires to warm up, a ecting air pressure.
• Check the reading on the air pressure gauge and compare it to the recommended level, which can typically be found on a sticker inside your driver’s side door or in the owner’s manual.
• Remove the cap from each tire’s air valve stem. Place them in a safe location where you can’t lose them.
• In ate the tires, as necessary, then replace the air valve caps on each tire. (Family Features & eLivingtoday.com. Photo courtesy of Shutterstock)
Buying a vehicle is a
It is not a decision to take lightly, especially given the historically high prices of new cars in recent years.
Finding a vehicle that is the perfect fit requires consideration of a host of variables, including personal preference. What is perfect for one individual may not work for another. When the time comes to shop for a new car, people can ask themselves a few questions in an effort to find a vehicle that best suits their needs.
What are your needs? Are you looking to carpool the kids to and from school or do you want a car for commuting that will not cost you an arm and a leg in fuel? Identifying the main purpose of the vehicle will eliminate certain cars or trucks right off the bat. What is your budget? It is a good idea to get a pre-approval loan statement from a financial provider to figure out what you can afford to pay for a vehicle. The popular automotive resource Edmunds says the general rule is the monthly new-car payment should not exceed 15 percent of your monthly take-home pay. Lease payments should be less than 10 percent
of monthly take-home pay. Calculate these numbers and potential interest rates prior to shopping for a vehicle. What size is best for you? Even though it may seem that SUVs and pickups reign supreme on the road, some drivers prefer smaller vehicles. Figure out how much interior space and cargo room you need. Take the time to sit in different vehicle classes to determine which size fits you best. What are your fuel preferences? Today’s vehicles come in electric, unleaded gasoline, diesel, and hybrid options. How the car or truck is powered may be important to you and will help identify the best vehicle for you.
What is the cost of ownership? Certain vehicle brands may be more expensive to maintain than others. According to Motor1.com, luxury and premium brands are typically the most expensive to maintain, with European brands like BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz typically carrying high maintenance costs. This can be prohibitive when parts or service is needed.
Buying a vehicle requires careful consideration of drivers’ needs, budget and desired features.
How to Prepare Your Car for Winter
Summer and fall can stake their claim as road trip season, and even devoted drivers may admit that winter is generally a less desirable time to take to the open road. The elements factor heavily into that reputation, as fewer hours of daylight, snow and ice are just some of the variables that can make it less enjoyable, and potentially more dangerous, to drive in winter.
In anticipation of adverse driving conditions, vehicle owners can take various steps to prepare their cars and trucks for winter.
Upgrade your wiper blades. Perhaps nothing is compromised more than visibility when driving in winter compared to other times of year. Snow makes it hard to see when driving, but fewer hours of daylight also can affect visibility. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that approximately half of all fatal crashes occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., even though the number of drivers on the road during those hours is considerably lower than it is during the daytime. The difficulty of driving at night is even more significant when wiper blades are not up to the task of keeping rain and snow off drivers’ windshields. Prior to winter, inspect wiper blades and upgrade them, if necessary. Streaks left on a windshield are a telltale sign that blades need to be replaced.
Purchase winter tires. Winter tires may not be necessary in regions with relatively mild winters. However, drivers accustomed to winters marked by heavy snowfall and/ or icy roads should consider replacing their
existing tires with winter tires. Many newer vehicles are now equipped with all-season tires, which the tire experts at Bridgestone note provide great performance but are not designed to handle extreme winter conditions like snow and ice. Winter tires are specially designed to handle such conditions, making them a worthy investment for drivers who live in regions where it’s not unusual to encounter snow and ice throughout the winter.
Study up on your engine oil. Some vehicle manufacturers recommend different grades of oil depending on the range of temperatures a car or truck will be driven in. The owner’s manual will likely indicate if the manufacturer recommends using a different type of engine oil in especially cold tempera tures. Even if the manual does not include such a suggestion, drivers can seek the ad vice of a local mechanic.
Schedule a pre-winter tune-up. a vehicle is not due for a tune-up, it can be wise to have it looked over by a local me chanic before the arrival of harsh winter weather. A mechanic can check the radiator, hoses and other components that could be affected by especially cold weather in the months to come. If any issues are found, ad dress them immediately. After all, it’s better to be proactive than leave yourself vulnera ble to breakdowns or other issues once the mercury drops.
As fall gives way to winter, drivers can take steps to keep their cars running strong and safe in the months ahead.
Five Ways to Protect Your Automotive Investment
Between inventory issues and climbing interest rates, buying a vehicle can be quite an ordeal, making it an investment worth protecting.
Today’s vehicles require less maintenance than ever before. You can go longer between oil changes and many tires are rated for longer travel. However, keeping up with regular maintenance remains part of your vehicle’s upkeep.
Whether you’ve purchased a new vehicle or you’re aiming to keep a car or truck you already own in good working condition, these tips can help you maintain its peak performance and appearance.
Car Wash: At least once a month, make a point of wash-
ing your car to remove built up grime. Not only is the dirt unsightly, but the mess can also damage your paint job and even the frame. is is especially true during the winter months when road salt splatters your vehicle’s undercarriage. Once the temperatures climb back above freezing, be sure to wash away the salt.
Covered Parking: When possible, use a garage or other form of covered parking. You’ll protect your paint job from harsh
UV rays, and you’ll also limit exposure to bird droppings and other potentially corrosive or damaging elements in the environment, like dust and pollen.
Windshield Wipers: Visibility is one of the most important aspects of safety when you’re driving, and windshield wiper blades play an essential role. Squeaking, streaking and failing to clear precipitation are all signs your blades need to be replaced. Check wipers regularly and plan on replacing them at least every 6-12 months.
Battery: You may not think much about your battery as long as your engine is turning over and your vehicle is running smoothly. However, even a car in good condition can have battery damage. At least once a year, check for signs of battery acid. If you detect
the white powdery substance around your battery terminals, disconnect the cables (negative first) and apply a mixture of baking soda and water with a wire brush. Rinse with water and dry before replacing the cables.
Air Filter: The air filter doesn’t just affect the air quality in the cabin of your vehicle. A dirty filter can also cause engine strain because it hinders proper air flow. Over time, you may even notice a decline in gas mileage and acceleration performance. Many factors affect how often you need to replace your filter, but a quick visual inspection should give you a clear idea. Your owner’s manual will help you determine how to access the filter; it’s easier than people often assume. (Family Features. Photo courtesy of Unsplash)
By Jon Pries
Throughout most of Pennsylvania, most hunters tend to focus their time and attention on big game hunting — pursuing whitetail deer, black bear, and wild turkeys. Fewer hunters these days seem to spend time in the woods in pursuit of small game, and they are missing some great opportunities to enjoy our abundant hunting options.
Having grown up in Lycoming County in the ‘60s, I certainly recall the productive pheasant-hunting wild birds that we had. The cackle of a cockbird as he took wing and the abundance of these wild birds are now but a memory.
Stocked pheasants dominate the landscape today but provide a great alternative for pheasant hunters. The Pennsylvania Game Commission does a nice job of stocking these birds throughout many of our State Game Lands, and there are three split seasons this year, running from October 26-November 29, December 16-24,
and December 26 to February 28. There is a daily limit of two birds and a possession limit of six birds.
A pheasant permit is required at the cost of $26.97. However, senior lifetime resident combination license holders who acquired their licenses before May 13, 2017, are exempt from needing a pheasant permit, and Junior hunters pursuing pheasants now need a free permit.
I am pleased to note that in most areas where I hunt or hike, there seems to be a very viable and well-established population of cottontail rabbits. It is somewhat surprising when you consider the number of foxes, bobcats, and coyotes that are abundant throughout the area and the fact that aerial predators, including various hawks and owls, are protected and thus add to the list of threats to rabbits. Perhaps it is partially due to fewer hunters spending time pursuing cottontails.
Rabbits, however, still provide a great hunting opportunity — especially for those with a beagle that will add to
the allure and success of the hunt. The daily limit for rabbits is 4, with a possession limit of 12. As shown above, the three seasons are the same as for pheasants, except the first opening day is October 19 instead of the 26th. As for our grouse hunting, it remains a distant and pleasant memory for me, when years ago, their numbers were more plentiful in the places I hunted. Today, if I am lucky enough to kick up a grouse, they get a “pass” since I just don’t come across them as in years past — and I enjoy hearing them drumming on those frosty mornings in the springtime when I am hunting turkeys. There are, no doubt, locations throughout the state with truly viable and huntable populations of this beautiful bird, but avid grouse hunters never reveal those locations! Currently, the limits are two daily and 6 in possession.
Of all the small game species available for hunting, squirrels are probably the least hunted. Yet, they are no doubt the most abundant species. Their daily limit is 6, with a possession limit of 18, and they have the same three seasons as detailed above for rabbits, except the opening day of
the first season being September 14 instead of October 19.
Squirrel hunting provides the greatest opportunity to mentor a youth or introduce a new adult hunter to our sport. It can be awkward when hunting and a pheasant leaps skyward, a rabbit bursts out of its cover, or a grouse explodes from hiding behind you. But, in squirrel hunting, you usually walk very slowly through the woods or sit patiently in a patch of woods with a predominance of oak trees as you wait to spot a squirrel in search of a freshly dropped acorn.
One of the best habitat combinations for squirrel hunting is a standing cornfield edged by woods containing oak trees. Whenever squirrel hunting and mentoring simultaneously, there are plenty of idle moments between shot opportunities to talk and have quiet conversations about hunting ethics, firearm safety, conservation, and all other things you can share with someone new to the great outdoors.
This fall, consider expanding your hunting opportunities by engaging in more small-game hunting — you’ll be glad you did.
WINTER ROAD SUPPLY
That’s right; it’s not just hunting season, but it’s also one of the best times of the year to chalk up some good shing as well.
e fall days o er some great shing opportunities for a variety of di erent sh species, and trout should be included in that list.
I know most of us think of trout shing as a spring activity, and as the summer wears on and the water warms, trout shing success slows down. In addition to that, a lot of the stocked sh have been removed, making catching even more di cult. e good news, however, is that the Fish and Boat Commission will be stocking a lot of streams and lakes again this fall, thus increasing chances for success.
patterns. A blue-winged olive or a caddis will still take fall trout, and I would not hesitate to try a streamer pattern or even a simple mop y. e streamer mimics a eeing minnow, and the mop y looks a lot like a caterpillar that has fallen into the water.
If it’s not a trout stream you are interested in, then head to a lake or pond for some pan shing. Bluegills, crappies, and perch are all very catchable during the fall months, but you have to be looking in the right places. Don’t expect to catch a lot of perch or crappies by plopping down on the bank in a shallow cove because these sh are mostly found in deeper water this time of year.
In addition, water temperatures are starting to drop some, thus making trout more likely to be active, but low fall water levels in many streams could work against us.
Fly shing is a good option for taking trout in the low, clear streams we are seeing right now. Any number of patterns that imitate a terrestrial can be e ective. Cricket imitations, grasshoppers, and various ant patterns are all good surface
You may pick up some bluegills in the shallower water, but you have to move out to deeper water for the crappies and perch.
Here’s where it pays to have a boat, canoe, or kayak to head out to deeper water. Having sonar equipment to help locate schools is also a great plus. If you can locate a school and drop an o ering to that depth and into the school, you will likely chalk up some numbers.
Another important factor is keeping your gear light; a seven or a-bit-longer

ultralight spinning rod with a matching open-faced spinning reel and light line of about four-pound test would be a good choice. Small lead head jigs with one to two-inch grubs in various colors will likely produce.
If it’s bass you’re interested in catching, there are still some great fishing opportunities available. The cooler water temperatures as we move into the fall months have helped to move bass into a more frequent feeding mode, and as we move towards winter, bass begin to “bulk up.”
While some will still be in deeper water, it’s entirely possible to pick up some good bass working along weedy edges and around wood and rock structure. I wouldn’t hesitate to use some type of top-
water presentation since bass are certainly used to nailing frogs on the surface. Other good fall lures would include a variety of lipped crankbaits fished at various depths. Soft plastics like the Wacky Worm and other soft plastics fished Texas style or Carolina rigged will also produce. You might also want to work some lead head jigs with tubes, grubs, and certainly a Ned-rig.
I prefer artificials for bass fishing since they are far less likely to take a lure deep enough to cause damage. I release all the bass as carefully as possible, so they are there when I return. Bass are nowhere near as prolific as panfish, so if I want something for the frying pan, some crappies or perch will do nicely.
hat’s black & white and red all over?” asks the familiar elementary school riddle.
The ‘newspaper’ answer to the question provided the driving impetus for the recent announcement that longtime Williamsport Sun-Gazette sports reporter Chris Masse is among 11 new members of the West Branch Valley Sports Hall of Fame, who will be formally inducted on November 10.
The Penn State graduate began his employment with the local daily just days after receiving his diploma, and area sports
fans have been informed and entertained, reading his accounts of sporting events for the past quarter century.
“Being selected for the Hall of Fame means the world to me,” shared Masse. “I don’t write for awards, but it’s always a thrill to be recognized. To be included with the amazing members inducted in the past and to go in with this incredible class is such an honor. When I first started working here, I remember reading about the new class going in back in 1999. I thought about how exciting that must be. Experiencing that feeling now is really special. Never in my life did I think I would be a Hall of Famer
in anything, so this is truly a Bucket List moment.”
Chosen for his talents as a sports contributor, Masse is among a gifted class that includes Madina Ali (basketball), Jen Allen (coaching), Gary Cook (wrestling), Alan Eck (officiating/ football), Tom Gravish (coaching), Bobby Lynn (football/ officiating), Maria Morgan (basketball), Gabe Sinicropi (contributor) and Biff Walizer (wrestling). Roger Cook, deceased,
was also selected for his accomplishments in wrestling and coaching.
Like many young people, Masse had a passion for sports during his high school days, participating in cross country, football, basketball, baseball, and track and field. Along the way, a talent reality hit, and he realized the only way he would continue his sports involvement would be through writing or broadcasting. He began writing for the Garnet Valley High School paper and culminated that training by studying journalism in Happy Valley.
Since his arrival in Williamsport, Masse has covered a variety of high school, collegiate, and youth sports, including the annual Little League Baseball World Series. He has won numerous Keystone
Press Awards and been honored by the Associated Press Managing Editors for his excellence in sports writing. His expertise has also helped the Sun Gazette’s sports sta be named among the country’s top ten on several occasions.
His high school memories have been a driving force in the writing style he commands.
“I remember how thrilling it was to see my name and my teammate’s names in the paper, and I take that with me when I write. Having gone through the experiences of the athletes I cover, I know how hard it can be, and as much as I love writing stories, I enjoy trying to give the athletes something to be positive about. It’s not just about the scoreboard but about the work, e ort, and sacri ce, and I enjoy trying to highlight all of that and take the readers beyond the stats. I work hard at the job, but it doesn’t feel like work because I love it so much, and for that, I feel tremendously blessed.”
In the infancy of his Sun-Gazette job, Masse viewed his work as a potential steppingstone to covering his beloved Baltimore Orioles or working for Sports Illustrated
“A er a few years, I realized how much I was falling in love with this area. It gave me a sense of community, and I enjoyed being a part of it. e realization hit me that success isn’t about how high you go in a given eld but about doing what makes you happy. I have always been happy here and can’t imagine working anywhere else. I met my wife here, have raised a daughter
here, and have loved the ride I have been on.”
While I doubt Dean Martin’s 1955 hit song “Memories Are Made of is” is on Masse’s playlist, he shares the crooner’s reminiscences about what he has experienced.
“I’ve had so many great memories. At 25 years into the job, I still get such a charge from covering games and seeing new things unfold. e state championship runs teams have made in various sports are always exciting, and it’s a thrill seeing the joy on the faces of the players, coaches, and families during those runs.
“Covering St. John Neumann’s Alize Johnson’s dra experience to the NBA is one of my favorites. ere was a lot of excitement in that room that night, and it was surreal seeing a player who I had covered when he was a 5’9 point guard become a 6’9 forward selected to play in the NBA.”
For reasons I am unaware of, Masse has earned the nickname “Doc “ in some circles. Perhaps it is due to his prescribed practice of delivering healing descriptions to those reading his works.
“I try and humanize my stories and do my best to highlight not just what the players, teams, and coaches do, but how they do it and what has helped them achieve what they have.”
Indeed, “Doc” Masse has made plenty of house calls. But the one he has been summoned to on November 10 will be one he never saw coming — but will cherish forever.
Ihave mentioned before that my father and I are building an addition. Yes, we are two years in and almost nished. I did my best to chronicle the entire experience. ere was never a dull moment with our foolish mistakes and our lack of progress. People continue to marvel at our work, especially those who walk by. “Everything looks good, man.” anks, Coach Rantz.
We entertained the idea for several seasons. My parents now live in Southern California. Both are retired. Jim and Gail lend a hand in raising my two beautiful nephews. Once they get older, my rents will bounce back and forth. ey will be set in CA, but they need a place to stay when they come back to PA. I suggested a rustic cabin. No. Let’s build a granny at and a two-car garage. And forget about hiring someone. Let’s do this all by
ourselves.
In the previous installments, I shared a few tales of our major mishaps. It has been quite an adventure. Who frames a wall with a door upside down? You should’ve put the one-unit bathtub in rst. You seriously can’t make it up. I am now on a rst-name basis with the folks who work at the customer service desk. “What are you returning today, Mr. Spencer?”
I make several trips to Lowe’s each week. Others laugh when I strap 2x4x10s to my canoe rack. My son Jensen and I were asked to leave once. e poor kid struggled and slipped when we loaded some R19 insulation. e cart went one way, and the large rolls fell on his head. Jensen was ne, and I captured it on my iPhone. His video is still trending. We thought it was hilarious. Some guy in a red vest named Chuck didn’t think it was
funny.
YouTube Certi ed. is all started last fall. Big Spence and I were in a major bind. Snow was on its way, and our tarps were failing. e trusses were in the yard, but we had absolutely no idea what we were doing. I made a phone call.
Long story short. My bearded brethren saved XMAS. And what they did in four hours would’ve taken 17 weekends. We worked side by side, and we asked many questions. My father took an instant liking to one in particular. Big Jake Stoltzfus. e man. e myth.
e Amish legend. ey hit it o immediately and enjoyed many exchanges. Jake would explain why he did things a certain way. He then coined the greatest line ever. YOU CAN’T FIND THAT ON YOUTUBE, MR. SPENCER.
Jake’s coworker Toby took it one step further. His bride does some screen printing. She made my father and me matching YOUTUBE CERTIFIED CONTRACTOR tee shirts. It’s my father’s favorite. He wears it everywhere and will take a photo in front of a historic landmark. He was in South Dakota a few weeks back. I then share them with my bearded friends. My father is the man. Cheers.

Linell S. Williamsport, Pa.
When Linell told her family she was going to UPMC Hillman Cancer Center for breast cancer care, she was relieved to hear them say it was the best place she could go. Today, with advanced treatments nearly behind her, Linell’s scans are clear. “I don’t know that I could have gotten any better care anywhere else in the world … and I didn’t have to travel far,” Linell says.
