Pre-Election Conversation and Veterans Day Appreciation

Aquick reminder to all as I’m penning this column: it’s the Friday morning prior to the election. Some folks will be reading me on Tuesday as the polls are still open, and some will be reading shortly after the election has ended; I pray we have a peaceful election, that the results are known in a timely manner, and our Nation can move forward behind whoever wins.

Hopefully, the record voter turnout, combined with all that has happened, encourages compromise through the understanding that both parties need each other to move our Nation forward. Over 65 million have already voted, so the silver lining to all that has been endured may be a more concerned American citizen who gets out to vote and holds our elected accountable.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has reached out to me the past couple of weeks regarding the 2024 election. I value your opinion, passion, and brutal honesty in some cases. I understand that when I write about this hot topic, some are going to disagree. Almost all were very respectful. As always, I tried

to get back to everyone, but if by some chance I missed you, my contact information is on page 4.

Now, moving on to Veterans Day. The United States of America has been in war for 230 out of a possible 247 years. A God bless and heartfelt thank you to our veterans. It’s through their efforts and the grace of God, they are the providers of every freedom we enjoy.

At this most difficult time in world history, the American Soldier has never been asked to defend freedom on such a wide range of fronts. It is my fear this is only going to get worse before it gets better. The most agonizing aspect for both a soldier and his family is never knowing what the next day may bring. Where the servicemen’s deployment may be and when they will come home. The reality of military life is that you may be asked to give your future for the preservation of our American way of life.

Please take the time to thank these true American Heroes who live amongst us. No matter when they served, what their responsibilities were, or how long their service was, they laced up their boots

for the United States of America.

Dolly’s Diner and Webb Weekly will again honor our veterans with a Veteran’s Day Appreciation Breakfast held on Monday, November 11th. Full details can be found right below. It is our privilege to team up with the Dolly’s Diner family to provide area veterans with an all-American breakfast. If there’s a veteran in your life who just can’t quite get out there on their own, please make sure they can attend. I guarantee you they won’t go away hungry, and there will be great conversation to be had with fellow veterans.

A tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American flag on the side to Ron “CI” Insinger, his wife Carol and family, and the great employees at Dolly’s Diner. Thanks for respecting, appreciating, and breaking bread with our vets.

If you’re a veteran and you’re out and about, you can also take advantage of a great offer at Ultimate Express Car Wash. The details can also be found below. Thank you to George Heim and his team for the effort and support of our veterans for the past 21 years.

A couple of things to close I’ve failed to mention as I focused on the election

the past couple of weeks. The good people at the Consolidated Sportsmen of Lycoming County are holding a turkey shoot this year. There are two Sundays remaining, November 10th and November 17th; it runs from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. It is open to the public and sounds like a great event to help fellow members of the community. You can go to cslcpa.org for more information. Lastly, as the fall archery season winds down, please get those early-season bucks entered into our 17th Annual Webb Weekly Uncle Ron’s Monster Buck Contest. The contest will pick back up with the rifle season and finish in January with the completion of the 2024-25 PA deer season. Remember, a trophy is in the hands of the holder, and every buck legally harvested gets you registered for the random rifle drawing. Thank you, Jon and Don at Sauers Trading. The top prize to the monster is a shoulder mount provided by Dana Poust. Second through fourth place winners receive a $100 gift card to be used at Stoltzfus Butcher Shop in Mill Hall. Full details this week can be found at webbweekly. com. If you have any questions or buck stories to share, please reach out to me. Good luck and safe hunting. Please get out and about and enjoy our amazing Nation.

God Bless America.

Honoring Service and Sacrifice

Each November 11, our country pauses to honor the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States military. Veterans Day is a time to re ect, celebrate, and express gratitude for the brave individuals who have served and sacri ced to protect our freedom. Initially marking the armistice that ended World War I in 1918, this day has grown to recognize veterans of all eras and con icts, from World War II to the present. Veterans Day is an opportunity for Americans to acknowledge and appreciate the invaluable contributions of those who have served.

e origins of Veterans Day trace back to the end of World War I, famously known as “the war to end all wars.” At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, an armistice was signed between the Allied nations and Germany, e ectively ending the con ict. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as “Armistice Day,” a day to honor veterans and promote peace.

In 1954, following the devastation of World War II and the Korean War, Congress o cially changed the holiday’s name to Veterans Day, ensuring it

would honor all veterans, not just those who served in World War I. From that day forward, Veterans Day has been a time to recognize and thank those who served in the military during peacetime or con ict, making the holiday inclusive of all who wore the uniform.

Veterans Day is a day dedicated to honoring the resilience, dedication, and sacri ce of the millions of veterans who have safeguarded the United States and contributed to our collective well-being.

Veterans, representing a diverse array of backgrounds and experiences, share a common commitment to duty, honor, and country. eir service is not just a personal sacri ce, but a dedication to something greater than themselves — a commitment to the values of freedom, democracy, and justice that de ne our nation. is diversity is what makes Veterans Day a celebration of inclusivity and shared values.

Veterans Day o ers many ways for Americans to express their gratitude. Communities across the country hold

parades, ceremonies, and events to pay tribute to veterans. Local and national landmarks are lit up in red, white, and blue. Schools o en invite veterans to speak to students, allowing young people to learn rsthand about the experiences and challenges of military life. As we celebrate Veterans Day, it’s important to remember that the transition from military to civilian life is not always easy, and many veterans face unique challenges. Some struggle with physical or mental health issues, including PTSD, while others may face nancial or employment di culties. is is why Veterans Day also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to support veterans in their post-service lives. It’s a duty we all share, and one that we must uphold every day, not just on November 11.

On Veterans Day, remember that it is not just a holiday but a time to renew our commitment to those who have served. It’s a reminder that our freedom, security, and prosperity have been safeguarded by individuals who risked their lives to uphold our nation’s ideals. is Veterans Day, let us honor the courage, resilience, and dedication of our veterans. Let us remember their service and sacri ce with deep gratitude and let us commit to supporting them every day — not just on November 11.

The Nittany Highland Pipe Band, composed of musicians from central Pennsylvania, will also be parading. Founded in 1973 near Pennsylvania State University, the band maintains an active schedule of parades and performances, performing, promoting, and perpetuating Highland bagpiping and Scottish drumming skills and traditions. The Nittany Highland Band proudly honors our Veterans at the 2024 Lycoming County Veterans Day Parade.

Muncy is bursting with pride to host the Lycoming County Veteran’s Day Parade. Bill Scott, a council member, told Webb Weekly, “The borough of Muncy is proud to honor and recognize our nation’s veterans and service members. We are excited to have the borough of Muncy host this year’s Veteran’s Day Parade on Saturday, November 9, and we can’t wait for you to join us in Celebrating our Veterans.’’

The parade route is from Musser Lane and straight down Main St. to Mechanic St. It is not too late to be a part of the parade, as our men and women who served and gave us our freedom are honored.

The reviewing stand will be at Brelsford Motors. The Reviewing Officer will be Staff Sergeant Martin Payne, a Vietnam War Veteran. Alongside him will be two Judges, Ann Marie Baker and Alivia Tagliaferri.

The Jersey Shore Veterans Council Honor Guard will be in attendance to honor our Veterans. After Father

Bert Kozen offers the prayer and invocation, the National Anthem will follow, and the Honor Guard will render the 21-gun salute and “Taps” for our deceased veterans.

For many years, beginning in the 1920s, an annual parade was held here in Lycoming County to mark Armistice Day — the end of World War I. This rich tradition later evolved into a parade recognizing all veterans when the date became known as “Veterans Day.” This celebration of patriotism, deeply rooted in our history, continued until it seemed to fade away in the early 1980s.

It was revived in 2013 at the behest of a committee made up of area veterans put together by and encouraged by then-State Representative Rick Mirabito and groups such as iHeart Media. It was decided to rotate the parade among the various communities in Lycoming County. The first revived parade was held in the City of Williamsport and is now held the Saturday nearest to Veterans Day.

Veterans and the sacrifices they’ve made for

community and country. That’s why we’re proud to offer a 5% discount off of monthly rent for Veterans, and their spouses, for the life of their lease.

Textile Industry to Bring Branch to This City

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, Williamsport is assured of a new textile industry with splendid prospects for development.

The Chamber is pleased to announce today that the J.G. Smith of Lopez, Pa., makers of pajamas, will open a branch factory in Williamsport and will occupy under lease, a portion of the Lycoming Rubber Company buildings on Park Avenue.

The J. G. Smith Company is one of the most established and best reputed companies in line with a successful career in manufacturing.

The first load of machinery for the new factory was received this morning and Mr. Smith told the “Sun” that the plant will be in operation in about two weeks. The machinery is being installed on the top floor of the building. It is in the area where the stitching department of for U. S. Rubber was formerly.

The advanced canvass of prospective employees has already yielded a sufficient number of operatives for the opening. The opening personnel will be recruited from among those Lycoming Rubber employees still in the city, principally women.

One hundred machines requiring approximately 126 operators will be installed in the new plant. Experienced instructors from the Lopez headquarters plant will be brought in and additional employees will be recruited until the number reaches 125 but only a minimum of operators will be employed for the opening of the plant.

The Chamber of Commerce, negotiating with the Smith Company for more than a year, had its efforts crowned with success with the decision to locate a J.G. Smith plant here. Eventually, Mr. Smith hopes to increase the plant equipment to 300 machines, necessitating the hiring of 400 operators with a total of 600 people on the payroll.

County Hall Corner: Is it Time for a Change?

By Larry Stout

Aer teaching leadership for education, business, and political o cials in Europe and Asia for a number of years, I compiled my program into a book in 2006 entitled, Ideal Leadership: Time for a Change. Ironically, Barack Obama was running for president and used “Change” as his campaign focus. Many thought I was piggybacking on Obama, and I had to tell folks I was piggybacking a lot further back than that.

e ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus made the following quote about change: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man.” Aristotle said much the same thing but much more directly: “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”

FINANCING

A bit more contemporary is the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, who wrote what became known as the “Serenity Prayer,” which has been used by Alcoholics Anonymous and other organizations, “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the di erence.”

e psychology of change helps us un-

derstand not only what is going on in society but also how we see things around us.

For example, we can start with the fact that we instinctively dislike change. ink about it: How o en do you change the route you take to work or go to a different co ee shop or grocery store, etc.?

No, our instincts are to stay in the same pattern until something changes. Maybe the grocery store stops stocking one of your favorite foods, or a road is being worked on, and you need a di erent route to work, etc. But note that we change because the environment changes. Quite simply, we change for pain or gain. President Ronald Reagan summed it up nicely, “When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” Now, this brings us to such things as

politics and elections. Subconsciously, we evaluate politicians at any level by how they deal with our pain or improve our gain. Let’s look at how this played out between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, particularly in the month of October, which almost always pulls the electorate one way or another. Especially in a close election as this one was, the campaign has to laser focus on the voters’ fears or desires, especially those on the sidelines still making up their minds.

ere have been a number of issues in this election cycle, but the three that the constituents seem mostly concerned about are the in ated economy, illegal immigration, and crime.

Vice President Harris has put a lot of focus on three main points: reproductive freedom (primarily abortion), helping the disadvantaged (especially the people of color), and preventing Donald Trump from becoming the next Adolph Hitler.

Former President Donald Trump has championed “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) for some time, which focuses on a robust economy, freedom based on the amendments to the US Constitution, and the rule of law. Someone does not have to be a political expert to match these up. If the pollsters are right about the primary issues being in ation, immigration, and crime, then it does not take a brain surgeon to recognize which campaign matches those issues more than the other. Ah, but there is one other psychologi-

cal aspect to voting to consider, and that is the process of decision-making. Our brain goes through a ve-fold process in deciding anything: need, Want, Time, Money, and Source.

Take, for example, you have a car that is costing more for maintenance than it is worth. You have a NEED for a better car. You then consider what kind of car you WANT given how you will use it. e car you have now is not going to last very long, so your TIME is rather short for making a decision. Of course, you need to keep it in your budget (MONEY). All of these are common sense, I know, but there is one more that is rarely recognized. All four of these may be spot on, but the buyer also has to accept the person or SOURCE that is selling it to them.

Back to the election, Americans have been discontented since 2020. Many felt that year’s election was awed, but the truth of the matter was Trump’s approval rating was 34%, and his highest was 41%. He had a record 81-percentage-point gap between Republicans and Democrats. is is why Kamala Harris centered the last days of her campaign with the “Trump equals Hitler” mantra. Who knows, it might just work and give her the presidency. If Trump wins, he hit the right buttons, and there were enough voters who trusted him to make it so.

The New Love Center: Feeding Clinton and Lycoming Counties

It is difficult to comprehend that in this day and age, in one of the most prosperous countries in the world, many people don’t have access to regular food sources.

The unfortunate reality is that millions of Americans will go hungry this holiday season, and this is especially true in rural Pennsylvania.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Feeding America, well over 1.5 million Pennsylvanians are routinely food insecure, including 436,000 children. That is, they lack access to consistent and nutritious food.

In an article posted by PAeats.org, Leigh Breen writes that food insecurity is everywhere and often goes unnoticed. Most people who experience food insecurity don’t show it and choose to suffer in silence because they are too embarrassed to ask for help. Research has shown that lack of consistent, nutritious food affects all aspects of life, including physical and mental health, and social well-being.

As we all know food is expensive — and the costs keep climbing. Currently, the average price of a home-cooked meal in Pennsylvania is $4.05 per person, which is the most expensive in history. Household

costs for groceries average approximately $250-330 per week, and only half of those experiencing food insecurity in Pennsylvania qualify for SNAP, which is federal food assistance.

Rising post-pandemic costs have only made food insecurity problems worse. Families are running out of money before they can buy food or must choose between buying food or paying other bills like their mortgage or utilities. Many children, right in this area are forced to rely upon free school lunches just to have something to eat on a daily basis.

In Lycoming and Clinton counties, the amazing volunteers and staff of The New Love Center (TNLC) have been working tirelessly to fill this gap because they understand it is up to all of us to help our neighbors.

TNLC has a long history in the area. While it is headquartered in South Avis, it also oversees other programs, including The New Love Center Café, Pantry Choice, Elder Share, Military Shares, and the mobile pantry.

The New Love Center Café is open Monday-Friday at 8:30 a.m. for coffee and baked goods and then serves lunch from

11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The Café’s staff is super friendly and does a great job offering nutritious and varied meal selections at no cost. In addition to the food, the Café offers a space where everyone feels welcome, and people go to socialize as much as they do for the food. The Café’s is located at Trinity United Methodist Church, 1407 Allegheny St. in Jersey Shore (Glover St. Entrance).

Pantry Choice Food Distribution, located at 263 Henry St., Jersey Shore (South Avis), is held on Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Thursday, 3-6 p.m., and Saturday, 9-11 a.m. Clients of the pantry are given a grocery cart and essentially “go shopping” by selecting food items from shelves that will best serve their families. Food selections typically include fresh produce, milk, eggs, and non-perishable items.

Elder Share and CSFP (Commodity Supplemental Food Program) includes Senior Boxes for those over 60, which are also distributed at the food pantry during regularly scheduled times. This is an additional food box for senior citizens who meet financial guidelines.

Military Shares is run by the American Legion, George W. Pepperman Post #36 Home Associations Inc., with Melanie Rauch as the contact, where they distribute a box of food monthly to local veterans. Distribution is on the third Thursday of the month from 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Clients must bring a Military ID.

The New Love Center also operates a mobile food pantry. Staff and volunteers drive

a large truck and trailer to rural communities that might otherwise have few food options and resources compared to more urban areas. The trailer acts as a sort of mobile “Pantry Choice” where clients can select items that best fit their needs. Popup locations include Renovo, Lock Haven, Cogan House, Muncy, and others. How can you help, you ask?

Give Funds: Every dollar given to TNLC goes directly to helping those who need it most in our community. Visit www. thenewlovecenter.com/donating to give today.

Give Food: Food from industry partners and community food drives is vital to helping to feed thousands of people each year. Currently, The New Love Center is preparing for holiday distributions and, in addition to regular donations of canned goods and non-perishable items, is asking for sweet potato mix, canned pumpkin mix, cranberry sauce, and boxed stuffing mix. Items can be brought to the Annex located at 263 Henry St., Jersey Shore (South Avis).

Give Time: Volunteer your time and talent, individually or as a group, to help feed neighbors in need. Visit www.thenewlovecenter.com/volunteering to learn more.

For more information or if you would like to donate, please contact The New Love Center at 570-244-8838, visit thenewlovecenter.com, or like them on Facebook. Donation checks can be mailed to The New Love Center, 263 Henry St., Jersey Shore, PA 17740.

Weird Words This Week: Pre- (or Post-) Election Blues

By Joseph W. Smith III

hile Webb Weekly is officially published on Wednesdays, some faithful readers get their copy on Tuesday instead. Which means that just now, many of you are still flooded with the ongoing onslaught of political ads — while others are resting in relief that it’s over. (Admittedly, that relief will be tempered, for some, by the fact that their favorite candidate came in second!)

In any case, we’ve got another edition of Webb’s Weird Words to take your mind off pre-election mania (or post-election, as the case may be). Here’s a round half-dozen odd or funny-sounding vocabulary:

meaning “chew, gnaw, eat away”; from this, of course, we also get corrode and erode.

Ecdysiast (ed-DIZ-ee-ast, noun) – Ecdysis is a biology term for the shedding of outer layers by some insects and reptiles. The less official ecdysiast was coined by famed American writer and linguist H. L. Mencken. It means “strip-tease artist” — a term that, to me, still sounds a bit like an oxymoron; but then again, considering the explicit filth that’s so sadly and widely available these days, such performances seem almost quaint by comparison. Ugh.

Ensorcell (en-SORE-sull, verb) – To bewitch or enchant. And yes, it is related to sorcerer — so you might say, “That wizard ensorcelled us!”; but perhaps “my girlfriend ensorcells me” does not work quite so well.

For Victorian Christmas’ 25th Anniversary, special performances of Wagner‘s Sigfried Idyll will be held on the staircase of Hartshorn House. You will be entertained by performances throughout the day.

Professional local musicians will gather in the newly restored home to play as originally performed for Wagner’s family on Christmas morning in 1870. Be our guest at this event celebrating the holiday and our historic heritage! Performances are Saturday beginning at 10am with the last performance at 4pm.

Sunday, November 24

• Backhouse Café and Tea–Celtic Wood and Wires 12pm to 2pm

• Saint Luke’s Church–Williamsport Civic Chorus “Winter Songs” 3pm to 4:30pm

• Taber Museum–33rd Annual Will Huffman Toy Train Expo, 11am to 4pm

Capybara (kap-uh-BAHR-uh [or BEARuh], noun) – We tend to think of rodents as relatively small: rats, mice, squirrels, hamsters, etc. But the semiaquatic capybara of South and Central America can grow to over four feet long; it is in fact the world’s largest rodent. Capybaras are also distinguished from most other Rodentia by the absence of a tail. The order, incidentally, is named for the large central teeth they all have in common. Rodent originates in a Latin term

Both ensorcell and the related sorcerer go back to the Latin sortarius, a Medieval fortune-teller who used the casting of lots. And in this way, the word is also related — somewhat surprisingly — to the much more common sort.

Palilalia (pal-uh-LAY-lya, noun) – “A speech disorder in which a word or phrase is rapidly repeated.” While that’s from Collins, Wikipedia adds that it can

involve just syllables, and is strictly involuntary.

The word comes from a Greek base, lal-, meaning “to babble” — which has also given us echolalia and the alarming coprolalia, which is involuntary utterance of swear words or other inappropriate verbiage. (I guess some of us might be a little borderline on that one.)

Prestidigitation (press-ti-dij-uh-TAYshun, noun) – Originally meaning magic tricks (or conjuring), it can now indicate any sort of fast-moving skill or cleverness; a good synonym is legerdemain. And both words originate from “hand” (as in sleight-of-hand) — with the first using digit (i.e., finger) and the latter

employing the common base man- (as in manual, manipulate, manicure and dozens of other English terms).

Susurration (suss-ur-A-shun [with a long “a”], noun) – “A soft, whispering or rustling sound; a murmur” (American Heritage). Also styled as susurrus, the word is indeed “imitative” — or, more fancily, onomatopoeic

Freefall

Note: This article is in a series called Two Roads. Previous articles are always available at www.webbweekly. com.

Iwas sixteen when I first heard about a swimming hole the locals called The Big Forty. It was an abandoned slate quarry that had partially filled with water. The hole got its name from a forty-foot-high cliff along the south side. The water was clear and deep, and the cliff was high and steep. It was the perfect place for a teenager to experience freefall.

Tim Hartzell

While the cliff was steep, it wasn’t quite steep enough. You couldn’t just stand on the edge and jump; you had to back up about twenty feet and take a running head start to have enough forward momentum to clear the bottom of the cliff. The full commitment to jump had to be made before you could see the water. I confess — that little detail freaked me out.

It took quite a while for me to get up enough nerve to make the run and jump. When I finally did, I was amazed at how quickly gravity took over and how much speed I gained in such a short distance. It took my breath away. When I hit the water, I went a lot deeper than I thought I would, and I struggled to get back to the surface. I made that first jump a long, long time ago, but I can remember it like it was yesterday.

Freefall is awesome, but it doesn’t last very long. According to a freefall calculator, my jump from The Big Forty lasted just 1.577 seconds. People who jump out of airplanes enjoy freefall for a bit longer. The average freefall portion of a skydive is between thirty and sixty seconds before the parachute is deployed. It takes just ten seconds to reach terminal velocity at about one hundred and twenty miles per hour. That’s some serious acceleration. I haven’t taken that jump yet, but someday . . . or not. I think I side with the philosophy that sees no need to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

The point is this: freefall is exhilarating, but it’s over quick. Gravity is very strong, and the ground pulls you back fast.

Adam experienced free fall when he took a bite of the forbidden fruit. How long did it take for him to bite, enjoy the pleasurable sweet juiciness, and then swallow? My guess is about ten seconds.

How long did Moses’ angry outburst last when he struck the rock instead of speaking to it? A minute? And what about David’s escapade with Bathsheba? Several minutes at most? How long did Judas enjoy the thirty pieces of silver? Maybe an hour? The rooster crowed right after Peter’s third denial, so his moment of relief from danger was just that — a moment.

In rationalization, we convince ourselves

Genius RF Microneedling treats lines, wrinkles, and loose skin anywhere on the body. Its innovative technology makes it the most comfortable and effective RF microneedling device on the market. Because it precisely delivers energy beneath the surface of the skin, there’s minimal down time, even with aggressive treatments.

we must have something and that we have every right to it. In blackout, we forget all about the long-lasting and far-reaching consequences of our choices. In freefall, we experience pleasure and exhilaration for a moment, lasting a few seconds to a couple of minutes. at’s it. at’s all we get out of freefall. It’s over in the blink of an eye. Why would a good man risk so much for so little return? It is a haunting question; we wish the answer was long and complicated. It’s not. e writer of Hebrews gives it in just ve words, e eeting pleasure of sin. Hebrews 11:25 Sin is pleasurable for a moment. It just is. ere’s no getting around that basic observation. If sin wasn’t pleasurable, we wouldn’t be tempted by it.

We deal constantly with pleasurable temptations because there are always pleasurable options,

Did you get up early to exercise? Or did you sleep in?

Did you snack on carrots and celery? Or did you eat a glazed donut lled with that awesome white icing?

Did you go to work? Or did you call in sick because your buddy reported the bass were biting at the lake?

Did you study for the test? Or did you watch a movie?

ese may seem like silly examples, but they illustrate the constant struggle we have with pleasure. It seems to lurk around every corner,

Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. Genesis 4:7 I am a forty-year veteran of church picnics

and potlucks. e dessert table is the best. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone say as they look over the plentiful and rich sweets,

A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. at little saying encapsulates the experience of freefall. It is a moment of pleasure in the midst of a life-long battle. More o en than not, the person who says it overloads their plate with fattening desserts anyway. Why? e pull of gravity, with its promise of quick pleasure, is just too strong. No sooner have they swallowed the last bite; they are already regretting it. Freefall just doesn’t last. I confess that sometimes I’m the one wiping the evidence from my chin while regretting that third piece of Joyce’s pecan pie. What pleasure are you considering today? Is there something or someone out there, some pleasure crouching at your door?

Before you jump, take a moment to consider the consequences that will follow the choice you make. Will it lead you forward, or will it set you back? Will it build your con dence, or will it defeat you? Will it strengthen your marriage, or will it destroy it?

You should ask yourself those questions, but you probably won’t because we already know that blackout happens just before freefall.

Do you know what happens a er freefall? Of course, you do; it’s called impact. When you fall from a ladder or a tree, the fall is painless — the problem is the sudden stop at the bottom. at’s where the damage is done. e bottom is where freefall always ends. We’ll talk about the impact next week.

Five Habits to Help Maintain Immune Health

Cold and flu season is here. The best way to battle cold and flu season is to prevent coming down with anything at all. While it’s impossible to stay entirely safe from germs, sniffles and coughs, there are a few healthy habits you can incorporate for extra protection this year. Along with the guidance you receive from your health care provider, consider these dietary and lifestyle recommendations to support your immune system naturally.

Commit to a Healthier Diet: Essential for optimizing your immune system, eating a healthy diet consisting of more foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains is recommended by experts. These foods contain beneficial plant compounds linked to health benefits in humans. Case in point: fresh grapes.

Natural grape compounds, including antioxidants and other polyphenols, may help protect the health and function of cells. At the most basic level, healthy cells

are the foundation of good health. Making simple swaps such as choosing fresh California grapes instead of processed snacks or adding grapes into favorite recipes for a healthy boost are tasty ways to add these beneficial compounds. Studies suggest some grape compounds may positively influence immune function, including resveratrol and certain flavonoids. Additional studies show adding heart-healthy grapes to your daily diet can help support brain, colon and skin health. Grapes are also a good source of vitamin K, which may help support lung health. Incorporate the health benefits of grapes into your diet with an easy, convenient recipe like Grape and Brussels Sprout Slaw, perfect for eating on its own

or pairing with a favorite protein such as grilled chicken breast.

Prioritize Basic Hygiene: Preventive practices can help you avoid germs, protecting yourself and others at the same time. Frequently wash your hands using soap and water, limit contact with others who may be sick and cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or elbow while coughing or sneezing.

Stay Active: Cold and flu season lines up with brisk temperatures, often making it more difficult to get outside for exercise. Find an activity you enjoy like moderate-intensity walking, jogging, biking or playing an aerobic sport. The “Journal of Sport and Health Science” reports exercise can help improve immune response

and reduce in ammation, making it a key way to prepare your body to ght back.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Staying hydrated helps your immune system by keeping the body’s defenses functioning properly. In addition to drinking water, you can increase hydration by eating foods with high water content like grapes, which contain about 82% water. Manage Stress: You can help control stress - which has a negative impact on overall health and wellness - in a number of ways. Practice deep breathing or meditation, engage in activities and hobbies that bring joy and develop nighttime habits that promote good sleep. If snacking in the evening, choose foods such as grapes that are a natural source of melatonin, a compound which helps regulate sleep cycles. Talk with someone you trust, like a friend, family member or mental health professional, to help relieve stress.

and whoever he picks, it won’t be wrong. Remember that it will just be a part of his plan. God doesn’t get things wrong.

I am sure right now, with election week, it’s hard to think that something good can come from this election if the right person doesn’t get in. I am 39 years old and can say I don’t think I have ever been this nervous about an election.

I don’t get into politics, but I get into prayer. It’s so sad how this election has people being so mean to each other about their views. Just because people don’t have the same views as you doesn’t make it OK to be nasty to them. Where are our morals anymore?

And can we please quit being so o ended over every little thing!? Gee whiz!

I believe this month, the month of anksgiving, we need to open our hearts and minds to all just focusing on being a little kinder to each other because this election could divide us.

Listen, there is only one ruler of this world: God. We HAVE to trust in him. He has a plan for someone to be president of this country,

I know things are so expensive. Gas, groceries, insurance, and more. We are all living it, but God hasn’t seemed to let my family and me down at all. He is our provider, and no matter what happens or who is running this country soon, I know that GOD will still be our provider. I pray to him that the right person gets in for this election, but let him know that no matter who does, that he is still the king of kings and Lord of Lords. I trust him. He will always guide us and protect us at all costs.

is month, I want my family and I to write down things we are thankful for each day starting November 1. en, on anksgiving Eve night, a er Kenzy and I make our special pumpkin roll deliveries, I want each one of us to go through our jars of thankfulness and say what we are thankful for this month. When our hearts focus on the good things, they will help outweigh the bad. We have to be our own happiness. Life is what we make it. If we dwell on the bad things and go around with a bad attitude, what kind of life is that to live?

Be kind to people. row them a smile with a warm hello. Tell someone you are praying for them. Be that person who holds the door for another couple of seconds for the person behind you. Be that person who puts a little extra

Take an elderly person some soup or give a hug to someone having a hard day. ese small gestures can li someone else’s day and make you feel so good too. It costs nothing to be nice. If we as a country can just be more kind to each other, we can make the di erence that this country needs. No, we can’t change the cost of things, but we can help change the way others feel.

So, no matter who gets into o ce this year, remember, God is in control! Only you can make a di erence in this world and use him to help guide you. He will speak to your heart. God has never done me wrong, and he won’t you either. Trust and obey, for there is no other way. Crockpot Creamy Bacon Potato Soup

Ingredients:

• 8 slices cooked bacon, diced

• 4 cups of chicken broth

• 2 pounds red potatoes, peeled (if desired) and diced

• 1 medium onion, chopped ne

• 4 tablespoons bacon grease (or butter)

• 1/3 cup all-purpose our

• 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

• 1/2 cup of heavy cream (or regular milk)

• 2 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

• 3/4 sour cream

• salt to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

• few sprinkles of dried oregano

Directions:

Add chicken broth, potatoes and onion to a big crock pot and stir to combine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are completely tender and cooked

through.

Once the soup has cooked, melt better on the stove over medium-high heat until it has melted. Whisk in the our until it is completely combined, and then cook for 1 minute, stirring till thick. Gradually add in the evaporated milk; slowly, while whisking it together with the our mixture, and continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth. Let the mixture continue cooking until it reaches a simmer, stirring occasionally, and then it should get really nice and thick.

Immediately pour the milk mixture into the slow cooker with the potatoes and stir until combined. Add in the cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream, salt pepper, and oregano, and stir until combined. If you would like the soup to be even thicker, you can use a potato masher or a large spoon to mash about half of the potatoes (while the soup is still in the slow cooker) to thicken the soup up.

Serve nice and hot and top with garnish like a dollop of sour cream, bacon chunks, and shredded cheese. Who doesn’t love more cheese and bacon!?

Annual Lung Screening Recommended for High-Risk Individuals

By Ganga Ranasuriya, M.D., UPMC Pulmonology

OFRESH GROUND BURGER SALE!

ne in 16 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer in their lifetime. As the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., lung cancer is a serious threat, but early detection and treatment can save lives. Most early-stage cases of lung cancer are either asymptomatic or show minimal symptoms, so catching the disease at Stage 1 provides the best chance for a cure. Unfortunately, by the time symptoms appear, the cancer is often more advanced, making successful treatment more difficult.

Lung Cancer Screening Guidelines

nodules— abnormal tissue growths that can increase the risk of lung cancer. If a nodule or abnormality is found, doctors may recommend a lung biopsy. This procedure can be done using various methods, including a biopsy needle, endoscopy, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), or robotic bronchoscopy. While most lung nodules are non-cancerous, regular monitoring is important to ensure they don’t develop into lung cancer. A physician or pulmonary specialist can help assess the risk and decide on the best course of action.

Lung Cancer Types and Treatment

The American Cancer Society recommends lung cancer screenings for individuals over the age of 50 with a history of smoking one pack a day for 20 or more years. This includes current smokers and those who have quit within the last 15 years.

The primary screening method is lowdose computed tomography (LDCT), a type of CT scan that uses low-dose radiation to create detailed images of the lungs. The scan is quick, non-invasive, and painless, and it is designed to detect pulmonary

Lung cancer treatment varies depending on the type and stage of the disease. Options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy. It’s important to work closely with your oncologist to understand your treatment choices and the potential side effects. Asking questions and staying informed can help you feel more in control of your treatment.

There are different types of lung cancer, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common, accounting for about 85% of cases.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is more aggressive and makes up about 15% of lung

As Veterans Day approaches, take time to reflect and appreciate all that has been sacrificed by our brave men and women in uniform. They selflessly dropped everything and went to war in the name of freedom. Today, our Veterans are fighting a new battle that’s entrenched within our country’s health care system.

and is

A rare form of lung cancer is carcinoid tumors, which arise from neuroendocrine cells in the lungs and are usually treated surgically.

Why Screening Matters

More people die from lung cancer every year than from breast, prostate and colorectal cancers combined. More than three-fourths of these deaths could have been prevented if the cancer had been caught at an early stage. Sadly, only 15 percent of lung cancer cases are being caught early enough. For those diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, the five-year survival rate is just around 5%.

Detecting cancer early helps ensure that it is still “localized,” or contained to the lungs. Once it has spread outside the lungs, the survival rate is just three percent. As there are typically no symptoms until after the cancer has spread outside the lungs. Proactive screening based on risk is the best tool in the fight against lung cancer.

The Bookworm Sez

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

“Sunderworld V-01: The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold B erry” by Ransom Riggs c.2024, Dutton $21.99

watching VHS tapes of a TV show his Mom made once? Back then, he memorized every word of Max’s Adventures in Sunderworld, and he saw his mother’s touch in the show.

326 pages

It’ll open doors for you. That’s what people say to convince you to seize an opportunity. Accept the chance, open the door, step on through, live your best life. It sounds amazing. It should be amazing. But as in the new book “Sunderworld, V-01: The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry” by Ransom Riggs, you have to find the door first.

Pretty much ever since his Mom died, Leopold Berry has known that his father thought he was worthless. Richter told him that every chance he got. Richter called him “Larry,” which he knew Leopold hated. Larry Berry. Ugh.

Is it any wonder that Leopold spent every day when he was nine years old

He missed her then. He still did – but wasn’t it odd that the visions had come back now, eight years after she was gone? Sure, when he was obsessed with Sunderworld, seeing strange and unusual things that didn’t exist was normal-ish, but now? Even Elliott, Leopold’s best friend, said it was weird.

So imagine how freaked-out Elliott was on the night they found a rickety old trolleycar in a weed-filled Los Angeles park. They climbed in, it started to move, and when it stopped, they were in an episode of Sunderworld, in Sunder’s downtown, with a magic shop where they bought a focuser, a visitor’s center, and a place to buy portable holes. Billboards told them that there was an Aether shortage. Tumbleport stations were scattered everywhere. The whole place was familiar-not-familiar at all.

And yeah, the focuser was su-

per-cheap, but Leopold was able to make it work enough to get Elliott excited when they learned that Sunder was looking for a new channeler. Suddenly, all of Leopold’s dreams were coming together.

Just not like he’d dreamed they would, though...

Reading “Sunderworld V-01: e Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry” is a little like having a conversation with a very imaginative 4-year-old. You never really know where it’s going to take you or where the highs and lows will land; you just have to go with it. It makes no sense, which makes it oddly appealing, nonetheless. It’s weird and surprising and funny – and unforgettable.

at’s because Leopold is Everybody-At-Some-Point. Author Ransom Riggs presents him as unsure, aimless, overcon dent sometimes, and awkward. He messes up: with girls, with friends, in public, at home. He’s so beat-down in his mind that he can’t see up anymore, which is the key to the story’s best part: readers ages 15-and-beyond (including adults!) will be able to absolute-

ly identify with this unlikely hero tossed into a bizarre world.

Harry Potter fans, Miss Peregrine fans, take note.

If you’ve ever had a dream you think is dumb but life surprises you, then this new series is one you’ll want today. “Sunderworld V-01: e Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry” is a book to open and step on through.

How to Style a Barn Jacket

The barn jacket or field coat is a type of rugged, durable outerwear originally designed for farming or outdoor work.

L.L. Bean launched a version back in 1924 for sportsmen to wear whilst duck hunting. The corduroy collar could be flipped up to protect the neck in windy conditions, with the big, round pockets a perfect size to hold shotgun shells, etc.

Barbour released their version about 40 years ago as an equestrian jacket made of waxed cotton to offer resistance from the wind and rain, with moleskin-lined

pockets to keep hands warm and a twoway ring zip pull to fasten without taking off gloves.

J.Crew entered the barn jacket market in 1983 at the height of the Preppy trend, with an oversized jacket in a waxy-finished poplin for a lighter feel than the traditional field coats.

This relatively utilitarian staple has recently seen a stylish resurgence, becoming an “it” piece of outerwear this fall. Here’s a rundown of styling options to take this once-chore coat into statement-making outfits.

Let’s look at the original Adirondack Barn Coat from L.L. Bean. This flannel-lined jacket is a functional fall favorite, perfect with standard jeans and a sweatshirt. But it can also be a cute option when worn with a fair-isle style sweater, plaid skirt, opaque tights, and ankle boots. This styling switch-up lets you take a casual jacket into a workwear setting.

Or try wearing a barn jacket like you would a blazer, particularly with outfits that may be a bit too bulky for a tailored blazer. Oversized sweaters and button-ups layer more easily with the boxier barn-style jacket.

If you’re looking to invest in a barn jacket for years to come, consider Barbour’s Beadnell Quilted Jacket in cabernet, which gives subtle holiday vibes and also speaks to the “burgundy” trend heading into winter. This quilted coat is lined with super-soft fleece for warmth and cozy comfort.

Now, while you certainly can and should wear this jacket for daytime outdoor activity, I would also recommend

Bernadette Ulsamer

wearing it for evenings out. I love the idea of pairing this coat with a little or long black dress and heeled knee-high boots to stay warm and look stylish. You can flip the corduroy collar up and snap it closed for a standing collar to get fuller coverage, and the multiple and deep pockets mean you can leave your purse at home. How many times have you wished your nighttime look had better storage? With this sleek jacket, now it can.

Next up, J.Crew Factory’s Quilted Barn Jacket can also be quite cozy, and I’m particularly drawn to its shade of Antique Navy versus the typical khaki and olive green tones. I would definitely pair this with a stripey long-sleeve tee or sweater leaning into a nautical aesthetic. Cropped colorful trousers and loafers can complete this outfit formula to equal an appropriately preppy but unexpected look. However, if you prefer a traditional shade of barn jacket, pick up this version in distressed fatigue with a contrasting brown corduroy collar. Play into the texture of this coat and wear it over a quilted mock-neck pullover with a high-waisted corduroy pant and sneakers.

If you’re in the market for a less traditional but similarly stylish barn jacket, check out Everlane’s Ranch Jacket in denim! Whether in their Deep Atlantic or Midnight Indigo washes, this coat features a cord collar, button closures, check pockets, and two patch front

pockets in durable denim. I love the idea of a denim barn coat; it’s so unexpected but surprisingly chic. I’d consider pairing it with a coordinated jean, like the brand’s Way-High Sailor Jean, with a braided belt and henley shirt. I’d also want to pair this denim version with cowboy boots and a flannel shirt dress. For those of you not as interested in pushing the trends to their limits and are just in the market for a warm, functional, yet still cute coat that won’t break the bank, then check out Costco’s Hang Ten Ladies’ Utility Jacket in either copper or green. With a plush collar, adjustable interior waistline drawcord, and price point, this coat will see you through the season. You can wear it with jeans, cords, trousers, or skirts for no-hassle style. Old Navy also offers quilted and denim barn jackets in olive and a medium wash respectively. Pair either with neutral separates or your coziest loungewear for quick trips to the store. No reason not to look cute, even for a snack and wine run.

Whichever product you try, keep in mind that barn jackets are, by design, boxy, relaxed in fit, often quilted, and lined with fleece or flannel. While the purpose of a barn jacket originated as a functional outdoorsy work garment, its trendy revival is an opportunity to update your outerwear wardrobe for the season with a classic piece that serves both function and form.

Veterans Day (United States) and Remembrance Day (Canada) are commemorated each year on November 11. Both holidays honor the individuals who served in the armed forces for their respective countries. Community-wide events tend to be held on November 11, but any day of the year is a good time to pay respect to veterans. On a local level, people can do much to thank veterans for their service and sacri ce.

Provide a free restaurant meal. O er to take out a veteran for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you see a veteran eating in a restaurant, anonymously pay the bill for that person.

Send care packages. Communities can gather resources and chip in to make care packages for veterans who live in town, and even to send to troops stationed elsewhere. Include foods and comforts from home.

Buy from veterans. Seek out veteran-owned businesses in the area, and then make purchases from their retail stores or utilize their services.

Volunteer at a VA hospital. Spend time with veterans where they receive care for current health needs or past injuries su ered in combat. Decorate cemeteries. Honor fallen veterans by placing owers or ags by their gravesites.

Participate in a parade. If your town hosts a Veterans Day or Remembrance Day parade, nd out how you can volunteer or be a part of it. O entimes parade o cials enable youth groups, such as high school marching bands or scouting troops, to participate in the parade.

Write to the newspaper. Write an op-ed or highlight piece to submit to the newspaper about veterans in the community. Mention local veterans who have unique stories,

or speak about the importance of veterans to the community. Ask a veteran to speak. If you work in a school or a community center, ask veterans to share their experiences with area youth. Visit local memorials. Spend time visiting memorials nearby and paying homage to the veterans who devoted their time, or even their lives, to service. Community members have plenty of opportunities and ways to give back to veterans in the area.

What Parents Can do to Save More for College

aising a child is no small task. Though it’s no surprise that parenting requires a substantial investment of time and energy, the financial cost of raising a child might raise more than a few eyebrows. According to the SmartAssetTM 2024 Study, the median annual cost to raise a child in the United States in 2024 is $22,850, and that figure is considerably higher in many states. Commitment and discipline are vital to getting across the financial finish line when raising a child, and that includes finding a way to finance a college edu-

cation. Data from the College Board, a nonprofit that studies trends in the cost of a college education, indicates the cost of tuition and fees varies widely depending on the type of institution. Tuition and fees at an in-state four-year public school cost a little more than $11,000 during the 2023-24 school year, while it was nearly four times as much ($41,540) at a private nonprofit four-year institution. Financing a child’s college education can seem like a daunting task. However, an array of strategies can help parents save more for college.

Take advantage of a 529 plan. A 529 education savings plan is an increasingly popular way to save for college. e Education Savings Programs at Bank of America reports that 529 plan assets increased from $88.5 billion in 2008 to more than $446 billion in 2023. A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged investment program administered by a state. When funds withdrawn from the plan are used for quali ed expenses, such as tuition costs, then the earnings are free from federal income tax obligations. ere are distinctions between 529 prepaid tuition programs and 529 savings programs, so parents are urged to discuss those di erences with a nancial advisor so they can choose the best plan for their situation.

Redirect extra income to a college savings plan. Parents may have “extra” sources of income that can be used to fund college savings. Annual bonuses, money distributed through state-sponsored property tax relief programs and even money freed up when kids graduate from daycare and into elementary school can be redirected into college savings plans. Redirected daycare expenses may be particularly savvy, as parents know the cost of daycare is considerable. In fact, a recent report from Child Care Aware of America indicated the cost to place two children in child care exceeded annual typical mortgage payments in 45 states. Once kids are out of daycare, parents can redirect some or all the money they had

been spending on child care into college savings plans.

Don’t go it alone. A 2023 survey from the College Savings Foundation found that 45 percent of parents would request that family and friends contribute to a child’s 529 plan in lieu of the standard gi s given to children for their birthday, special events like graduation or during the holiday season. is practical yet less traditional approach can pad college savings plans by a considerable amount over the years, and close relatives might be more than happy to help parents fund a better education for their youngsters. College is a costly investment, but parents can look to a handful of strategies to help defray tuition costs.

The Roving Sportsman… Heads Up!

By Jon Pries

old apple orchards, and fields heavy in clover are good spots.

They say that timing is everything, and we are entering the phase of deer activity that every archery deer hunter has been waiting for.

In the wooded areas, spend your time where the oak trees are the dominant species — particularly the white oak, as its acorns are the preferred acorn for deer.

Whether it is further defined as “the pre-rut,” “the rut,” or “the postrut,” we are now moving into the days when the travel and rut level of deer has begun to rise. Reports from sportsmen from Lycoming and surrounding counties tell us that deer activity is definitely on the upswing. There are more and more sightings of fresh rubs and new scrapes and more observations of bucks on the trail of does. Now is the time to spend every available hour you can in the woods if you have hopes of spotting bigger bucks in pursuit of receptive does. Hunt food sources when possible. If you haven’t yet located any scrape lines or rub lines, then focus on areas where the does will be spending their time feeding. Standing corn fields,

Regretfully, with continual devastation over the past few years by the spongy moth defoliating oak trees, any acorn crop may be nonexistent in areas that were not sprayed to kill the caterpillars. However, in the oak stands that were sprayed, there seems to be a bumper crop of acorns this fall, and deer activity will be concentrated there.

Once you have located a scrape line or rub line, focus on these areas as that is where the bucks will be traveling in search of does that have come into estrus and are ready to breed. Food is less important to a buck at this stage as he is concentrating his energy on locating and breeding during the rut. You will see does in feeding areas now and the occasion-

al buck may be with her, but in the area of scrapes and rubs is where the greater activity will occur.

Maximize your time in your ground blind or tree stand. While the deer will still be most active in early morning and late a ernoon hours, they will be moving throughout the day. Even the bigger bucks will move throughout the day now when there are receptive does nearby. Rainy days will be just as productive as clear-sky days during the rut. e bucks are focused on one thing, and inclement weather simply doesn’t matter to them now.

Antler rattling and grunt calling can all be e ective during the rut. e key is to simply not overdo it. Occasional or intermittent rattling or the once-in-awhile grunt call can pique the interest of a buck that is moving through your area and is within earshot of your stand. Again, the key is to not overdo it. If you can remain in your stand throughout the entire day, do so. Over these next few weeks, at any moment, a mature buck might be checking the scrape line or passing through in search of that estrus doe.

Caution: Watch out for increased

deer activity along our highways!

Along with the greater rut activity, this is when does that have yearlings traveling with them will chase away the young deer in preparation to be bred again. ese yearlings will be wandering into new areas to nd a new home. Additionally, as the bucks are following does, and sometimes chasing them, they o en race across major highways and back roads, completely oblivious to oncoming tra c.

While this rutting activity continues over the next several weeks, motorists should use extra caution, slow down, and be more alert everywhere, not just in areas of known deer crossings. According to a 2018 report, Pennsylvania remained third in the nation for collisions with deer or other large animals.

Heads up! Stay alert! e chase is on, and the next week or so will provide your best opportunity to encounter that buck-of-a-lifetime we all daydream about. Maximizing your time at your stand will greatly improve your chances — just be cautious that your encounter is not on the highway and involving your vehicle!

Good Luck!

BARTLETT PEARS APPLES

Why do I have a question mark in the title of my story — that’s not a question but rather a statement? The reason for the question mark is because some people are wondering, “What’s a pheasant?”

I moved to this area from western Pennsylvania in the early 1970s, and a pheasant was a very rare sighting in that part of the state. In fact, I don’t ever remember hunting pheasants while growing up there.

Ken Hunter

cline across most of the state since the 1970s.

When I came here in the early 70s, I found out what pheasant hunting was all about, and even without a dog, I was able to enjoy some great pheasant hunts. I even remember seeing pheasants crossing roads, and on occasion, wild birds would show up around my home.

Needless to say, those days are pretty much gone.

The fact is that during the late 60s and early 70s, pheasants and pheasant hunting flourished here, peaking in 1971 when more than 700,000 hunters took an estimated 1.3 million birds. Pheasant populations have been in de-

So, why the loss? There are probably a number of reasons, like changing farming practices, and an increase in population and urban development. We have lost 716,000 acres alone to urban development. The loss of suitable breeding and feeding habitats like hedgerows and immature woodlots with cover and brush is probably a major factor. Add to that an increase in the number of predators, and we begin to see why wild pheasants are pretty much gone here in Pennsylvania.

But wait, we still have a pheasant season! Yes, we do. In fact, the statewide pheasant season is already underway, starting on October 26 and running to November 29, again open from December 16-24 and December 26-February 28. There was also a Junior Hunt from October 12-19.

During the Junior Hunt, a pheasant hunting permit is required. Junior hunters under the age of 17 must obtain a free pheasant hunting permit, and those 17 and older must purchase a pheasant hunting permit for $26.97. Se-

nior lifetime resident hunting or senior lifetime resident combination license holders who acquired their licenses prior to May 13, 2017, are exempt from needing a pheasant permit.

Of course, the reason we can still hunt pheasants in Pennsylvania is due to the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s productive pheasant-raising and stocking program.

e Game Commission maintains four pheasant game farms, which distributed about 200,000 pheasants this year alone. One of those farms is close by; head up Route 87 and cross the Loyalsock Creek on your way up to Rose Valley Lake. Right a er you cross the

creek, you will spot hundreds, probably thousands of pheasants in the pens to the le .

Granted; it’s highly unlikely you will get to see any wild pheasants around here, but it’s good that we have a pretty successful raising and stocking program that keeps some pheasant hunting on the agenda.

Pheasants were not native to Pennsylvania or this country, in fact. ey were rst stocked in Oregon in 1881, and they were rst stocked in Pennsylvania in 1915. I try to get out for a pheasant hunt on occasion, hope I can get a trip in this year. ey are a fun bird to hunt and make a good meal.

The topic has come up often in our home. Jean reflects upon the many wonderful friends and experiences we have shared over the years due to our sports involvement.

Many times, as we transition from one event or season to another, the experiences tend to be woven together like a t-shirt quilt. The quilt warms you, but once you pause to take the time to consider the significance of each individual section, the true meaning of the work encompassing you conjures up past memories.

and Bill were a successful team, as testified by the outpouring of eulogy remarks.

Nellie and Bill were a package that entered our lives directly via sports. Bill was my high school basketball coach, and the couple later became life-long friends. We enjoyed many good times together and heard just about as many tales of Nellie’s teaching and community involvement as we did Buck’s sports interests. They were both fun-loving characters, and friends shared many laughs over some of their exploits.

As October’s last Monday flashed upon the calendar, the funerals of two patches of that quilt combined for a day of reflection. Just hours apart, services for Nellie Byham and Chris Downs gave those in attendance opportunities to remember and reflect upon lives that were different chronologically but similar in the way they treated others with respect, dignity, and humor.

At her funeral, one speaker referred to Nellie (wife of longtime area sports personality Bill Byham) as a supportive wife who played a secondary role. All successful teams need role players to accomplish team achievements. Nellie

I have always fondly remembered the ‘meatloaf’ tale. Coming home from an afternoon game, Bill was looking forward to dinner the Nellie was fixing that evening. Days later, I asked about the meal; the response was classic. Nellie took the ‘meatloaf’ wrapped in tin foil from the freezer and placed it in the oven. As they sat down for the meal, the unwrapped tin foil revealed a very welldone date & nut bread. We have laughed about it ever since.

Even in her final weeks, her sense of humor remained. During a visit, the conversation turned to the revealing clothing women were wearing. Out of her memory bank archives, she told the

from the Susquehanna river. Here is a diamond in the rough with tons potential, it could be a produce farm, chicken farm, horse farm, sheep or cattle farm, your imagination is the limit. For more info or to schedule a showing call Amy Probst @ 570-367-0052 or Elmer Lapp @ 570-660-3489

story of a long time ago when she and Bill were out with friends. Spotting a lady attired in a revealing blouse, Nellie’s friend called it ‘a peek-boo’ blouse. Upon which Bill responded, “Nellie once wore one of those, but when men peeked, they booed!”

Nellie Byham le us at 93. Unfortunately, Chris Downs departed at an all-tooearlier 53. While time with Chris was not as extensive, I remember those occurrences with fondness and respect.

I rst met Chris during his days at the Williamsport Sun-Gazette, where he served as associate sports editor. ere were occasions when I covered sporting events for the newspaper and would leave a stadium press box to rush to the newspaper o ce to le a story before an 11:00 p.m. deadline. I knew what I wanted to write, but being ‘technologychallenged’ presented problems. In those instances, Chris was always calm and helpful, and somehow, he managed to get my stories to press before print deadlines.

Years later, our paths and love of baseball crossed again when he joined Little League International as the organization’s Director of Publicity. Broadcasting Little League World Series games, he was my go-to guy for help and information. He o en went beyond the call-of-duty and ful lled my requests to send photos to Webb Weekly to accompany stories I had written.

Chris’s funeral presented various

trappings of the game both of us loved, including the following testament to baseball, printed on the service lea et:

“If everyone played baseball, people would have more empathy, ey’d know what it feels like to strike out.

If everyone played baseball, people wouldn’t be spoiled, ey’d know not every call goes your way.

If everyone played baseball, people would be more resilient,

ey’d know you can’t make a great play if you’re dwelling on an error.

If everyone played baseball, people wouldn’t be so sel sh,

ey’d know sacri cing could help a team win.

If everyone played baseball, people would be tougher, ey’d know a ball o the chest is part of the job.

If everyone played baseball, people would be more humble, ey’d know getting out happens more than getting on.

If everyone played baseball, people wouldn’t be lonely, ey’d have the whole world to play catch with.”

In baseball terms, Nellie and Chris were not the stars of the team. But the Byham family and Little League Baseball would not have been the same without their caring contributions. eir October 28th sendo has resulted in their names being penciled in on the lineup card of a much higher power.

Iattended the fall WAHS musical showcase on Tuesday. Williamsport Area School District has one of the top programs in the galaxy. I always walk away feeling grand. e band is fantastic. e choirs are, too. e Orchestra is outstanding. ese kids put on a performance. ey look stunning in their matching tuxedos and dresses. I am so impressed with the number of di erent faces. All walks of life. A true melting pot of kids. Beautiful. I recognized several student-athletes on the stage. From football to cross country. Basketball to tennis. Swimming and vol-

leyball. Yes. Every major sports team was represented. It was great.

“We are incredibly proud of our well-rounded students,” Orchestra maestro Matt Radspinner shared, “It is not uncommon for 50% of our band, orchestra, and choir students to also participate in a varsity sport throughout the school year.” ere was one gal in particular. What an impressive kid. I went to school with her mother, and I know her older brother. Dude? She is a senior? Nylah Ford is a fantastic student. She is involved with so many things. National Honors Society. Home-

coming. Gymnastics. Orchestra. Yes. ere is more. Nylah has a great smile, and she is a soccer queen. e talented striker was on track for 50 goals. But Ford was sidelined with a few injuries. She had to shi gears.

“I had to bounce back from an MCL/ ACL sprain from the summer,” Nylah said. “I worked really hard to get back on the eld. en, I was told that I needed to sit out another six weeks with a bad hamstring. I got right back to rehab. Worked even harder. I made it a goal to play on Senior Night. I did what I could. I was able to make it, and I helped my team advance to the District Finals.”

Nylah is driven. ere was no way she was going to miss the last few weeks of her senior campaign. Ford rehabbed and made it back in just 14 days. She was in uniform for Senior Night. Nylah even scored three goals — a hat trick in the semis. Welcome back, kid. e Millionaires were nipped in the Championship. It was one of those nights.

“I really wanted to get to 50,” Nylah continued. “I wanted All-State, but with the injuries, everything changed. I created new goals. Continued to work to get back to doing what I love. My scholastic career is sadly over. But I can’t wait for that next chapter.”

School comes rst, and Nylah has outstanding grades. She has played the violin since the fourth grade, and she still enjoys it. Nylah also works a few nights at Dynamats, teaching youth gymnastics. She does it all.

“Nylah is a dedicated member of the Sinfonietta Orchestra,” Radspinner added.

“She serves as the Principal Second Violin. Nylah exempli es what it means to be a student-musician. Showing both exceptional leadership and commitment to her cra . She is one talented gal.”

Nylah Ford recently signed with California University of Pennsylvania. She will play soccer for the Vulcans next fall. Nylah is super excited about the opportunity and wants to study Law. Fantastic stu , kid. We are all so proud. Keep doing it all. Cheers.
