Jed’s Most Challenging Inning

It was a beautiful sun-drenched morning as we headed to Historic Bowman Field. is has always been exciting for me. It’s still hard for me to get my mind around that Bowman Field now hosts a major league game every year, complete with the huge digital scoreboard and perfectly manicured eld. It’s an absolutely amazing facility that makes every young ball player feel like they’ve made it to the big leagues when they get to play there.

Webb Jr.

and looking forward to playo s.

I can’t begin to tell you how much it meant that the Penn College baseball team led by Coach Chris Howard chose this day to bring attention to Jed’s battle and wrap their arms around him with love and support.

I’ve gotten to watch my sons, along with my nephews Chance and Jed, enjoy this special experience, and when they played the National Anthem before the game, I had tears in my eyes. is is nothing unusual for me at any ball game, but this day, it had even more meaning.

As I’ve written before, the Webb family’s baseball roots run deep, all the way back to my grandfather playing at Bowman, but this day was something much di erent. See, my 19-year-old nephew Jed was recently diagnosed with, and is battling, Hodgkin’s lymphoma. e game I attended was intended to be a celebration of baseball for Penn College of Technology. It was senior day, and it was one of those warm late-season games that everybody looks forward to. Parents, players, coaches, and fans were glad to be in the sunshine

I have known Chris for as long as I can remember. I even coached his son Alec in Little League and always enjoy talking, usually baseball and sometimes life with him. But it is my brother, Brian, and my nephew Chance, who had a stellar career playing for Coach Howard, that has forged a relationship far beyond baseball. is also includes Jed, who is the younger brother, and, at one time, I thought he might follow in his older brother’s Penn College cleats on the mound. Jed chose a di erent path and, within a year of graduating from Hughesville, was educated on welding and living in Wyoming. He is now back home. It has always been obvious to me he was a hands-on, work-hard young man who didn’t care much for sitting in a classroom year-round, which I completely understand. Jed would give you everything if he was pitching for you or working for you in the backyard.

It was just a little more than a year ago that Jed was pitching for Hughesville, and

my son Jimmy was managing against him for Loyalsock. As a father and an uncle, I would root for Jimmy’s team to win but for Jed to throw a lot of zeros and exit before the loss, as the Lancers squeaked one out over the Spartans. Now, as a 19-year-old kid to be facing cancer, it is very hard to even imagine. is is where that love of Jed’s baseball family built during his life has helped beyond belief. Coach Chris Kish and the Hughesville baseball folks have already wrapped their arms around him, including a fundraiser to help the young man with the uncovered cost of ghting cancer. Where they le o , Coach Howard and Assistant Coach Heath Heller stepped in. Heath and Brian went to high school together. What a small world it is. As I talked with and watched the beginning of the game, I realized that this love and support were exactly what the doctor had ordered. He was just a young man enjoying the game of baseball with his family, which included everybody on the eld and in the stands.

Year, Let’s Not Google ‘Last-Minute Mother’s Day Ideas’

At 10 PM on Saturday

Technically next week will be our Mother’s Day edition. That being said — let’s have a real talk, shall we?

Every year, Mother’s Day rolls around like it hasn’t been on the calendar since forever. And every year, a good portion of us find ourselves panic-Googling “quick Mother’s Day gifts” like it’s a pop quiz we forgot to study for.

No shame, we’ve all been there. But what if — hear me out — this is the year we plan ahead?

Think about it: no more stress-scrolling through gift guides while your printer screams in protest trying to spit out a last-minute card. No more awkward “your real gift is on the way” texts. No more grabbing whatever candles are left on the shelf at CVS and pretending they were “hand-selected.”

This year, we can do better.

We can order the thing she actually wants before shipping deadlines. We can make a brunch reservation that isn’t at 3:45 p.m. We can even — brace

yourself — mail a card with time to spare

If you’re a DIYer, now’s your window to get crafty. Want to write a heartfelt letter? Bake something? Put together a photo book? Do it this week, and you might actually enjoy the process. Bonus: you’ll have time to hide the hot glue gun before guests arrive.

Engrave a plaque that says “Best Mom Who Still Answers My Texts” or “CEO of Knowing Where Everything Is.”

Funny and sweet? Double win.

The Bookstore Bundle

Grab a few of her favorite reads, a cozy throw blanket, some fancy tea or wine, and pop it in a basket. Bonus points if you label it: “Do Not Disturb Unless You’re Refilling My Beverage.”

The Plant with a Plan

A cute houseplant + a little punny note = instant charm. Try a succulent with a card that says, “Thanks for helping me grow (even when I was kind of a cactus).”

And if you’re more of a “click and ship” kind of person (hi, me too), you’re in the golden zone. The good gifts are still in stock. You have options. You have power. Use it wisely.

Because the truth is, moms, grandmas, aunts, bonus moms, and maternal figures of all kinds? They deserve more than last-minute leftovers.

Let’s surprise them not just with a great gift — but with the fact that for once, we actually had our act together.

Actually Fun (and Not Boring) Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

The “You Deserve a Trophy” Gift Get her a custom award. Seriously.

The Brunch That Comes to Her Make a DIY brunch box: mini quiches, muffins, fruit, and a tiny bottle of bubbly. Deliver it like you’re a highend caterer. Bonus: she doesn’t even have to get out of her robe.

The “Time Together” Gift

Book a pottery class, a painting night, or even a jewelry-making workshop. Something fun, something new, something where you can both say, “This was actually amazing.”

The Spa Sneak Attack

If she won’t book a massage for herself, do it for her. Or go DIY: fuzzy slippers, a face mask, and a note that says, “I scheduled you a guilt-free afternoon off.” She’ll melt.

Williamsport Bicycle Recycle Serving the Local Bicyclists For 10 Years

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Bicycling for fitness and exercise has increased by leaps and bounds in recent years. In this area, the bike path makes that even more attainable. With this increasing demand, one local business has been trying for the last 10 years to help meet and aid in this increase in interest. That business is Williamsport Bicycle Recycle, located in the Pajama Factory complex.

to us at an affordable price,” Louisa Stone told Webb Weekly. “We joined the nonprofit Factory Works. We have been happily located there for the past 10 years. Recently, we formed a separate nonprofit, Williamsport Bicycle Recycle Inc., to become more focused on Williamsport Bicycle Recycle Inc., to become more focused on our mission.”

A talented group of volunteers is the core of the success of their shop. They are officially open on Tuesdays from 3 to 7 p.m. But they are informally open wherever we can get volunteers to come in. If their lights are on, they welcome customers.

Williamsport Bicycle Recycle is a community bike shop dedicated to serving the needs of our local residents. It began 10 years ago at the Williamsport YMCA when David Stone, who was then on their board, proposed the idea to start a bike recycle shop. He and his wife, Louisa, expanded their community efforts by organizing the Tour de Bill, a fun event to celebrate biking and show off the interesting neighborhoods of Williamsport.

“When the Y decided to sell the Arena where the shop was located, we needed to find a new home. Fortunately, the Winkelmans, who had recently purchased the Pajama Factory, had space and were willing to offer it

The shop has tools, bike stands, and a good supply of new and used parts to handle most repairs.

“Our main function is to help people repair their bikes. They arrive with a bike with a flat tire, a chain that has fallen off, brakes that don’t work, or a shifter that is stuck. We work with them to make the necessary repairs. They leave with a functioning bike and some knowledge of how to fix it themselves. All this is done for a reasonable price,” said Stone.

The group also holds workshops to

help out bikers.

According to Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy, local bicyclists spent part of a recent Saturday afternoon at Williamsport Bicycle Recycle’s space at the Pajama Factory. The group had signed up for a workshop offered jointly by Williamsport Bicycle Recycle (WBR) and the Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy (NPC). Volunteers from WBR reviewed a basic bike maintenance checklist. Then each participant had the opportunity to run through the checklist on their bike with help from a WBR volunteer.

WBR volunteer and NPC board member, Steve Young coordinated the event. “As an NPC board member I see the projects NPC takes on with our partners to improve access to the Pine Creek Rail Trail and improve the experience for riders on the Trail. I thought a workshop that would help bike riders learn more about their bike could also introduce them to NPC and our work.”

Steve Young explained, “Having a bike repair station with an air pump and basic tools along the Trail will hopefully help a rider get a broken bike back to their car a little more quickly. We stress routine bike maintenance and checking your bike before leaving home, but things happen while you’re riding.”

One participant had his son along. “It’s great that Williamsport Bicycle Recycle lets you work on your own bike using their tools with their supervision,” said Jeff Kane. “I understand the basics of keeping a bicycle on the road but appreciate having someone who can help me figure things out. We’ve donated his old bikes here in the past, and I think we found a new-tohim bike here today.”

Abigail Davids, a WBR bord member and officer, explained, “We really enjoy doing these workshops. They help us help bike riders. We’re always looking for more volunteer mechanics. The more volunteer mechanics we have, the more hours we can be open to help the community.”

At the shop, people donate bikes that they no longer need. Frequently, they need repairs. Their volunteers inspect them and make them functional and safe to ride. Customers leave with them, and they price them to make them affordable.

Bike repairs, sales, and cash donations generate enough revenue to pay the rent, pay for insurance, and buy supplies.

“We also support our community by hosting bike rodeos, giving refurbished bikes to area nonprofits, and advocating for improving bike infrastructure,” concluded Stone.

County Hall Corner: The River of Lycoming County Commissioner Meetings

By Larry Stout

There is an old adage from the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, “You cannot step into the same river twice.” He used the image of a river to illustrate that even consistent activities are in a constant state of change. I nd this to be true every ursday morning at the Lycoming County Commissioners Meetings.

It was in April 2016, nine years ago, that I began attending the weekly Lycoming County Commissioners Meetings. At that time, there were two meetings: a ‘work’ session on Tuesdays and the ‘o cial’ meeting on ursdays. I liked the Tuesday meeting because that was when the discussion on issues would take place, and it was also somewhat informal. ursdays were generally just to do the action items, most of which related to the allocation of funds.

en, in March 2020, came the COVID shutdowns, and the commissioners decided to go to just one meeting, which ended the Tuesday work sessions. e biggest change that happened a er that was the way the meetings could get so discombobulated. ere was an agenda, of

course, but a lot of other things would pop up nonetheless.

I was thinking of this during the commissioners meeting on ursday, April 17th. I was stepping in the same river; sure enough, it was di erent from any other time I could remember.

e meeting started normally. Commissioner Metzger opened the meeting with a prayer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. e rst order of business was a change for one of the personnel action items, which was not unusual. What was unusual was the magnitude of the change order. It was for a position in the Resource Management Department for $86,434 an hour. (I was ready to o er

See COUNTY HALL on Page 12 things

COUNTY HALL

myself to do the job for ten percent of that, a real bargain at $8,643 an hour, a 90 percent saving. How could the commissioners turn that down?) Well, it turned out that the figure was for a YEAR rather than an hour. Glad they discovered that not-sominor difference.

That should have given me a hint that the waters might start bubbling, yet it seemed to be moving along smoothly enough. Right after the personnel action was taken care of, Commissioner Marc Sortman read a proclamation for Pennsylvania 811 Safe Digging Month. Mark Lipka, a local man who is a supervisor for education for 811 in Pennsylvania, followed up with a quick review of why this is important for anyone who is digging up. (It is worthwhile to check out www.PA1Call.org).

To this point, the entire meeting had barely gone for thirty minutes. For some weird reason, though, many times when the official meetings go quickly, the public comments go longer, sometimes much longer. Deja vu, that’s your cue.

Terri Lauchle from Muncy Township is running for township supervisor in this year’s election. She wanted to hear from the commissioners about the status of the old Lycoming County Mall complex in Muncy Township. She informed them that she had submitted a Right to Know request relating to the mall complex and had many questions about what was going on.

Sortman’s reading of the proclamation, Mr. Lipka’s statement, and even the photo op that followed took less than ten minutes. And just ten minutes after that, all the various action items were covered, which meant all the official stuff was completed. What then follows are the commissioners’ general comments.

In the past, this was often when the guns would come out blazing, but this new board is quite amiable to one another. Their comments highlighted some good things that have been happening, and after ten minutes of that, Commissioner Metzger said, “Are there any public comments?”

After less than half an hour of business, the discussion (debate?) between Terri Lauchle and the three Lycoming County Commissioners went back and forth for an hour and a half! (That has to be a record, at least, it was the longest discussion/debate I ever witnessed). Well, truth be told, I bailed out after an hour. It was an interesting discussion, and I later followed it up on YouTube (Look up: Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting 4-17-25).

Terri Lauchle was doing her due diligence as a local official — hats off to her. The commissioners had to defend their positions honestly and practically, which they also did. Heraclitus was right again — the river never stops flowing, and it never stops changing.

Confi rming your arrangements with us is very important. Please contact our o ce to verify or update the information we currently have on fi le.

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

As we yield full submission to God’s sovereignty, His grace takes the next step: It transforms us. Transformation is necessary because the pattern we followed as we traveled the road to death does not align with the pattern required to travel the road to life.

idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. Galatians 5:19–21

The pattern followed by those traveling the road to life is based on the infilling presence of the Holy Spirit.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:22–23

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Ephesians 2:1–3

The pattern followed by those traveling the road to death is based on the cravings of the flesh.

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;

The two patterns could not be more different. One gives life; the other takes life — the two battle against each other. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other so that you are not to do whatever you want. Galatians 5:17

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to

God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:5–8

Attempting to live by both patterns at the same time is hypocrisy.

With the tongue, we praise our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. James 3:9–12

Paul wrote about his struggle with both patterns.

For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do — this I keep on doing. Romans 7:18–19

He then writes a powerful faith statement, a declaration of freedom from the pattern of death.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation — but it is not to the flesh to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:12–13

Changing over from the pattern of death to the pattern of life is a dynamic

process accomplished by constant trial and testing. That’s why Paul referred to it as putting to death the misdeeds of the body. He later tells us why a process of transformation is required. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then, you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing, and perfect will. Romans 12:2

A steward must know the will of the owner to make correct decisions. A renewed mind allows us to think the way God thinks so we can act the way God acts.

We cannot transform ourselves. When we strive to do so, we get ensnared in the pride-traps of legalism, religiosity, and hypocrisy. These poor substitutes for genuine transformation result in changes to outward behavior but do nothing to change the attitudes of the heart and mind. Jesus spoke strong words on this topic.

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside, they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First, clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the

inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside, you appear to people as righteous, but on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

Matthew 23:25–28

To be good and faithful stewards, we must rely on God’s way of changing us. We must willingly submit ourselves to God’s transformational grace.

Transformational grace flows to us through five main channels: the Word of God, the prayer of faith, the infilling presence of the Holy Spirit, the Body of Christ, and the mission of God.

As we participate in these five main channels of grace, God changes us,

and we experience greater victory over temptation and greater effectiveness in the mission.

No matter how long we travel the road to life, transformation will always be necessary. Why? Because as we gain elevation, the risks increase, and the terrain becomes more difficult. We must rely on God’s transformational grace to prepare us for each stage of the climb, and we must keep in step with the Spirit’s confess-submit cadence. Remember, there is no height of position, maturity, or holiness from which it is impossible to fall. If we ever stop relying on transformational grace, we put ourselves at risk.

As I sit here today on our back porch, the bees are buzzing a little louder. e birds are singing joyfully. e sky is bluer. e sound of a lawn mower makes me smile. I can’t fully explain why. It just does. Maybe it’s because the feeling of spring is here to stay or because I love the smell of fresh-cut grass? Everything is more beautiful today, and I do know why.

Do you remember back at the end of February, I did a column called Put Your Hope in God? I shared the song “When I Fall” byKaty Nicole. I talked about being in a hospital bed but didn’t get into details. Well, today was my three-month follow-up from that hospital visit, and it was a test I was dreading but looking forward to at the same time.

Most of you who know me, know I have fought with health issues for the past two and a half years. I won’t get into tons of details because we would be ten columns deep into it all, but it all started with me being diagnosed with PCOS when I struggled to hit 70-pound weightloss no matter how hard I tried.

I tracked/weighed my food. I exercised. I made serious changes in my life and couldn’t get over sixty-four pounds.

So, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with PCOS in January of 2023. (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) It’s a real pain in the butt, let me tell ya. Well, my doctor put me on a

Andrea McElroy

medicine called Metformin to help adjust my hormones, and my body did not take it well. AT ALL. is was the beginning of over a twoyear health battle for me. I won’t get into all the gross details, but a er three months of being on it, I ended up in the hospital for over a week. It was a whole thing. en, because of how sick I was and just about septic, they pushed tons of antibiotics and medications into me. en, months later, in July, I ended up getting C-Di . e medicine to help x the C-di then got me sick AGAIN. It was the nightmare of just one thing leading to another. at following January, I continued to feel miserable and was on another medication called Mesalamine. I was to have a hysterectomy that month. Here, I was so sick again that they had to cancel my surgery. I was devastated. I had these large broids sitting on top of an in amed colon, and the two things together made me feel miserable every day.

I nally had my surgery in March and, by summer, was feeling a little better, but my insides still weren’t 100%.

In October, they put me on a medicine called Humaria for my ‘so-called’ Ulcerative Colitis that I truly don’t think I had to begin with! I’m already getting into more details than I wanted, but let me say that this is the very short side of this story. ere is so much

more than this.

Long story short, I was on Humaria for three months and ended up getting an EKG in January because, during my THIRD colonoscopy in less than two years, they found something on the heart monitor they didn’t like. On this EKG, they discovered I had an ejection fraction of 30, which meant I was in heart failure. Plus, I also found out I have a le branch bundle block. It was so scary, but it made no sense. How do I all of a sudden have a heart problem!? Are you kidding me?

I ended up in the hospital and was put on lots of heart meds. I had to patiently wait until April 24th to get my next EKG to see if the meds were helping. April 24 was today. A day I was dreading but looking forward to all at once. is heart stu sure is an eye-opener in life. I was organizing, getting rid of things, and leaving notes in holiday totes, thinking I was a goner! But today, I got the good news that my ejection fraction is now 45-50, and I couldn’t be happier! e normal range is, I believe, around 65, but the 50-75 range is good.

I know this is probably so much to take in, and I wasn’t ever going to share because it’s been a lot. You all are like family to me, and honestly, my life is an open book. is is just skimming the top of what I have been through. But guys — health is wealth. If you have your health, you have everything. My relationship with God has gotten closer because of this hard time. My house is even more organized than what it was, and I am a pretty clean/organized person. My perspective on life is even greater than what it was. We seriously can’t sweat the small

things. I wish everyone had a chance to go through something like this because it truly is an eye-opener! ree months ago, I felt like I was dying, and now today, I can’t feel any more alive! Life is funny, isn’t it? Please just be thankful every day.

And folks, please, PLEASE, advocate for yourself. I was so sick for the past two and half years because of medication. “Most” doctors told me I was crazy, thinking it was the meds. No one believed me until my family doctor stepped in and got things done! Guess what? I’m on ZERO meds for my colon, and that baby is in tip-top shape! *enter cheesy smile here* (Nothing like writing about your colon. Good grief. We are like family! Haha!) For the rst time in over two years, I feel like myself again. You can’t tell me otherwise

that I was sick for over two years because of medication. It’s crazy. But I am getting my life back and feeling the best I have in a long time. I turn 40 in August and want to make it my best year yet! Health is wealth. God is good. AMEN!

How to Conduct a Skin Care Self-Exam

Time spent soaking up the summer sun is one of the things that makes the season so appealing. Warm outdoor air has a calming e ect that can make anyone feel more relaxed and comfortable.

As good as warm summer sun can feel, overexposure to the sun can be dangerous. e World Cancer Research Fund reports there were more than 330,000 new cases of skin cancer diagnosed across the globe in 2022. A signi cant percentage of skin cancer cases can be prevented, and prevention is a multifaceted process that includes skin care self-examinations. Self-exams do not take up much time, and individuals can speak with their physicians about how frequently they should check their skin for signs of skin cancer.

e U.S. National Library of Medicine offers the following instructions for how to conduct a skin self-exam.

Choose the right time to examine your skin. e USNLM recommends conducting a skin exam a er bathing. Women who routinely conduct breast self-exams can check their skin at this time as well.

Use a full-length mirror. It’s not always easy to examine skin throughout the body. But signs of skin problems can occur anywhere on the body, including areas that might be hard to see without help. If possible, conduct a self-exam of the skin in front of full-length mirror in a brightly lit room.

Identify what you’re looking for. e USNLM notes you should be looking for any new skin markings. is includes bumps, moles, blemishes, and changes in skin color.

Pay close attention to preexisting moles. A potential sign of skin cancer includes moles that change over time. Examine preexisting moles to see if they have changed in size, texture, color, and shape.

Look for unusual moles. e USNLM characterizes certain moles as “ugly duckling moles.” ese unique moles look and feel di erent from nearby moles and may be indicative of skin cancer. Speak with a dermatologist if a self-exam uncovers the presence of moles with uneven edges or di erences in colors or asymmetric shapes. Moles that look di erent from one side to the other also should be brought to the attention of a dermatologist. Moles that do not stop bleeding or will not heal also merit examination by a skin care professional.

When the time comes to conduct the exam, the USNLM recommends following these steps:

– Look closely at your entire body, both front and back, in the mirror.

– Check under your arms and on both sides of each arm. Be sure to examine the backs of your upper arms, which can be hard to see.

– Bend your arms at the elbow, and exam-

ine both sides of your forearm.

– Examine the tops and palms of your hands.

– Examine the front and back of both legs.

– Examine your buttocks and between your buttocks.

– Examine your genital area.

– Examine – Examine your face, neck, the back of your neck, and scalp. full-length mirror, along with a

– Examine your face, neck, the back of your neck, and scalp. Use both a hand mirror and full-length mirror, along with a comb, to see areas of your scalp.

– Examine your feet, including the soles and the spaces between your toes.

– Ask a person you trust to help examine hard-to-see areas.

Skin cancer poses a formidable threat, but many cases of the disease are preventable. Routine skin self-exams are a vital component of skin cancer prevention.

Social Connection Critical to Happiness

The 2025 World Happiness Report came out earlier this year, and the results were both interesting and mixed.

The World Happiness Report, published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford in 2012, combines data related to wellbeing from over 1,000 people surveyed in each country and from over 140 countries around the world. The aim of the report is to assess happiness in

different categories. Not surprisingly, Scandinavian countries took the top five spots, with Finland coming in #1. The United States came in 24th overall.

The rankings were determined by gathering data in six categories related to kindness and generosity. They included if people gave money to charity, volunteered, or helped a stranger in the last month, which all would be considered kindness-related behaviors.

The other categories were based on

people’s beliefs in the benevolence of others. Those categories included survey questions such as whether a neighbor, a stranger, or a police officer would return a wallet they lost.

According to author John F. Helliwell and his fellow researchers, social connection is critical to happiness. Specifically, our perceptions and beliefs in others. Their research included several key findings.

Data showed that people are more pessimistic about the benevolence of others than they should be. In the study, when wallets were dropped in the street by researchers, the proportion of returned wallets was far higher than people expected, in some cases over 80%. Demonstrating that most people are honest, yet we still have little faith in others.

Also, our overall well-being depends on beliefs in the kindness of others, not just their actual kindness. Since people generally underestimate the kindness of others, our well-being can be improved by witnessing their acts of kindness and

generosity. Apparently, seeing really is believing.

In addition, when society is more benevolent, the people who benefit most are those who are least happy, thus creating a more equal level of happiness throughout society.

Lastly, acts of kindness increased during COVID-19 in every region of the world. When people needed help, others stepped up. Despite a fall from 2023 to 2024, this increase has generally lasted, with kind acts remaining approximately 10% above pre-pandemic levels. Helping strangers, the most common of the three forms of kindness in most places is still 18% higher.

Kira Newman, managing editor of Berkley’s Greater Good magazine, writes that this year, the United States fell slightly from #23 to #24 out of nearly 150 countries, just below Germany and the U.K.

The happiest countries were Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, and the Netherlands.

For the first time, none of the large industrial powers ranked in the top 20, and Western industrial countries have generally become less happy since 2010. While the U.S. didn’t fare that well

overall, it ranked higher on measures of actual and expected kindness, except for two. The U.S. is #12 in donating and helping strangers, #15 in volunteering, and #17 in expecting neighbors to turn in a lost wallet. Americans, however, are more wary of police and especially of strangers than people in other countries, ranking #25 in expecting police to track down a wallet’s owner and #52 for strangers.

With all of the doom and gloom in social media and mainstream news, it can sometimes be hard to see the best in others, but research shows how we predict strangers will behave tends to reflect how we view society as a whole. If we think others will do the right thing, we tend to have a more positive outlook and are happier than if we always expect the worst. The research data in this year’s report showed that countries, where more people donate, volunteer, and help strangers, are happier. In addition, how kind we think our communities are matters. If we believe we can trust those around us to treat us well, we are also happier.

According to Helliwell, believing that others would return a wallet predicts a larger boost to life satisfaction than a doubling of income. Believing that your

lost wallet would very likely be returned is accompanied by life satisfaction that is higher by more than three-quarters of a point on the 0–10 scale. This effect is almost twice as large as being unemployed.

Expected kindness also seems to matter for happiness inequality, the gap between the happiest and least happy in a given country. When people see others as fair and helpful, other research finds they’re more resilient to stressors like unemployment, divorce, health issues, discrimination, and unsafe streets. A kinder society tends to benefit people who are struggling the most.

Certainly, there are some bad things in the world, but the bottom line, according to research, is that most people are good. The problem is that if we spend too much of our time focusing on negative things and have a lack of faith in others, we begin to believe things are worse than they actually are. “People may be made needlessly unhappy by their unwarranted pessimism,” write Helliwell and his team. Instead, our thoughts and our beliefs should be focused on the evidence which points to a society that is mostly filled with caring people who are willing to support and help us.

Iremember back in the 90s, after one horrible haircut, I was desperate for rapid regrowth. Hearing some sort of wives’ tale about horse shampoo helping hair grow faster, I begged my mother to buy good old Mane & Tail. She did, but it didn’t give me the long or luscious locks I had hoped for.

Things have advanced a bit more here in the 21st century, and it’s not only about growing hair longer but

also promoting healthy hair. It’s still no easy feat to have a full head of hair, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution or quick fix, as everyone’s hair has specific needs. Here’s a rundown of tips if you’re in the market for longer, stronger, and healthier strands.

First, if you are growing out your hair, you need to start taking care of it and have patience. Growing long hair is a process; if done correctly

and diligently, it will deliver results. Hair grows in stages at about half an inch a month on average. And while it may seem counterintuitive to the process, regular micro-trims keep growth on track.

Taking off less than an inch to clear off split ends will keep new growth healthy and avoid those splits from working up higher on the hair’s shaft. Three trims a year, along with split-end treatment products like Amika’s The Closer Splitend Seal, will set you up for success on your longer hair journey.

From your ends to your scalp, a wellcared-for melon sets up the environment to support healthy hair. For oily scalps, keep them clean with washes like Better Not Younger New Dan Activate Charcoal Scalp Cleaners to prevent build-up. For a normal-todry scalp, nourish and hydrate with a scalp serum like Dove’s Scalp + Hair Therapy to promote density as well

as a healthy scalp. I prefer this step after an evening shower, giving myself a bit of head massage to unwind, and then leave in overnight.

Speaking of showers, washing is the foundation of any hair-care regimen. While most are happy to simply wash and condition, if you’re on a mission to regrow fuller hair, washing it starts before you set foot in the tub. Give your hair a 10-minute soak with a protective pre-wash tonic/mask like Briogo’s Scalp Revival Rosemary Pre-Wash Scalp and Hair Oil, available at Ulta. This does double duty as both a serum for your head and a pre-wash protector so that your shampoo won’t strip out moisture from your strands.

When selecting a shampoo and conditioner, look to sulfate-free formulas and product duos from brands like Prose, Oribe, and Vegamour, which offer customized products for your hair and scalp type. Of course, Pantene, Dove, and standard drugstore brands also offered paired products.

For coarse, curly, or color-treated hair, consider using only condition-

The Sweet Truth About Fruit and Sugar

Fresh fruit is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed any time of year, but consumption seems to heat up as the mercury rises. Many fruits come into season in spring and summer. Cherries, melons, plums, nectarines, and blueberries are just some of the tasty fruits that are typically enjoyed during warm months. But for those who are trying to eat healthy, they may wonder if fruit — which tends

to be high in sugar — aligns with their diet and exercise plans. People long have been advised to monitor their sugar consumption. Harvard Health reports that the effects of too much sugar intake can result in elevated blood pressure, in ammation, weight gain, diabetes, and fatty liver disease. Yet fruits are listed on the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans, with experts saying adults should aim for 1.5 to

two cups of fruit per day, or about two servings. at’s because not all sugar is created equal. Fruit contains naturally occurring sugar (fructose) rather than the added sugar that is in many foods, baked goods and candy. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the body processes natural sugars di erently than it would sugar in cookies and cakes. Healthline indicates that fructose is only harmful in large amounts, and it is di cult to get excessive amounts of fructose from fruit. at means for most people, the amount of sugar in fruit is safe to eat.

doesn’t have the ber to moderate sugar absorption. Excessive fruit juice intake can cause fat deposition in the liver, obesity, and insulin resistance since juice is stripped of the ber and o en nutrients during processing.

Mandevilla Hanging Baskets

Fruits tend to be loaded with ber and water, which can help a person feel fuller, longer. And the highber content means fruits will take a while to digest and the fructose will be processed by the liver slowly, which should not cause a sugar spike like added sugar would. at isn’t to say that all forms of fruit are the same. Eating whole fruit is the best type because of the ber and the protective nutrients, including antioxidants. Fruit juice is a more concentrated source of fructose that

ose who want to avoid the fruits with the highest sugar concentration should skip mangoes and apples, which have 46 and 25.1 grams of sugar in one piece of fruit, respectively. However, unless a person has diabetes or another health condition where blood sugar levels need to be monitored, individuals shouldn’t fret about the fruit in sugar, as most don’t eat enough for the sugar to be a concern.

Planning for Their Future Financial literacy tips for teens

Financial literacy is a critical skill that helps set the foundation for a stable and prosperous future. By understanding the basics of money management, teens can make informed decisions and avoid common nancial pitfalls.

According to the annual Teens and Personal Finance survey, a study of teens ages 13-18 conducted by Wake eld Research on behalf of Junior Achievement and MissionSquare Retirement’s Foundation, 45% of high schoolers took a personal nance or nancial literacy class at school. is is up from 31% in 2024, indicating the nation’s youth are interested in building a strong nancial foundation. What’s more, of the students who took their school’s curriculum, 64% found it extremely or very helpful, yet despite this increase, data reveals knowledge gaps remain. In fact, 42% of teens surveyed are terri ed they won’t have enough money to cover their future needs and goals.

“ ere is so much for teens to absorb when learning about nances and planning for their future, they o en struggle to envision what lies ahead,” said Andre Robinson, president and CEO of MissionSquare Retirement. “O ering engaging programs that can boost nancial knowledge and decision-making skills

can only help to inspire young individuals to build a strong foundation of lifelong nancial resilience.”

Consider discussing these economic topics with your teen to help make a positive impact on students’ nancial readiness and get them ready for nancial decisions they’ll face in adulthood. Mastering Saving and Budgeting

A good starting point for teens is to create a simple budget that tracks income and expenses. Because only 36% of teens surveyed save a part for their futures when they receive money, this can help them understand where money is going and identify areas they may be able to save for the future. is is particularly important considering 68% of teens agree that saving for retirement is something they can think about later in life.

Understanding Credit

Credit is a powerful tool but can also be a source of nancial trouble if not managed properly. It’s essential to understand how nancial behaviors, like paying bills on time and keeping credit card balances low, impact their credit scores. A higher FICO score, which 80% of teens surveyed had never heard of or did not fully understand, can lead to better interest rates and more favorable loan terms.

Managing Common Debt Pitfalls

According to the survey, 43% of teens believe an interest rate of 18% on debt is manageable and can be paid o over time. However, it’s important to understand the true cost of debt and how

interest rates can accumulate over time and lead to signi cant nancial strain. Establishing good debt management habits early, such as avoiding high-interest debt and paying o balances quickly, can lead to a healthier nancial future.

Investing and Planning Ahead

According to the survey, teenagers’ most appealing investing strategies are savings accounts, side hustles and keeping cash at home, and only 13% invest a portion of their money. Encouraging teens to learn about di erent types of investments, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, can help them make informed decisions and begin to build long-term wealth.

A Guide to Great Skin at Any Age

Here’s the secret for achieving a glowing complexion: there is no secret. In fact, a key factor in achieving great skin at any age comes down to one common denominator that’s no secret at all. It’s simply taking good care of your skin. After all, your skin is your body’s single largest organ. It’s your protective shield, but it can also reveal the truth of your age, especially if you’re lax when it comes to regular skin care.

Make hydration a priority. Keeping the skin hydrated maintains its barrier integrity. When the skin becomes dry,

it reduces the effectiveness of the skin barrier, making it less resilient against irritants and allergens.

Often, when the skin is dry it feels more rough or flaky. With proper hydration, the skin feels smoother and looks more supple. Achieving hydration through a better skin care routine, drinking plenty of water daily and eating certain fruits and vegetables can improve your skin’s appearance, maintaining a radiant, healthy complexion.

Use the right soap. Despite what your mother may have told you, squeaky clean isn’t always best. A better bet

when it comes to soap is a product that respects your skin’s moisture balance and cleanses without creating tightness or irritation.

Mild options such as Pears skin cleansing products are specifically formulated and dermatologically tested to be gentle on the skin. They’re made with plantbased glycerin, which is a powerful humectant that attracts water from the environment and deeper layers of the skin to the outer layer, keeping it hydrated. Glycerin-based cleansers can help prevent stripping of the skin’s natural oils, which averts a tight, dry feeling.

and rehydrate your skin.

Protect your skin from the sun. After completing your skin cleansing routine, there’s an additional step to help maintain healthy, hydrated skin before heading outdoors: Take time to apply a layer of sunscreen to skin that will be exposed, including your face, ears and hands. Reapply every two hours if you’re spending a great deal of time outside. Sun damage can prematurely age the skin. You may not feel the heat as much during colder times of year, but the rays are still capable of damaging your skin, maybe even more so because you don’t feel the burn.

Find more advice for keeping your skin supple and soft at Amazon.com/pears.

“More than ever, consumers are looking for mild and gentle products that are effective, smell good and work well,” said Dr. Adriana Lombardi, founder of the Skin Cancer & Cosmetic Surgery Center of New Jersey. “Pears soap checks all the boxes. It creates a really nice, thick lather and smells crisp and clean while leaving the skin hydrated.”

Avoid hot showers. Even the best products may not overcome the potential harm that comes from taking showers that are too hot. The heat removes your skin’s natural oils, which leaves you prone to itching and dryness and may worsen skin conditions.

Instead of cranking up the heat, opt for lukewarm temperatures and keep the shower time brief. Use moisturizing cleansers, and after your shower, immediately apply moisturizer to replenish

3 Steps to Practice a Healthy Skin Routine

1. Use a humidifier in your room. Adding moisture to your environment may help prevent over-drying and promote better air quality for your overall health, including your skin.

2. Use glycerin-based soap. A glycerin-based soap like Pears gently cleanses your skin without stripping essential moisture.

3. Moisturize immediately after showering. Showering, especially at higher water temperatures, can strip your body’s natural oils. Applying lotion immediately after you shower helps retain the moisture your body needs. (Family Features & Pears)

Harness the Power of Walking

Awalk isn’t just good for your body; it’s a simple, powerful way to care for your mind and soul.

Physical activity, like walking, reduces stress, boosts mood and promotes overall well-being. Yet physical activity levels in the United States continue to decline, a trend threatening both mental and physical health.

Less than half of adults and fewer than 1 in 5 children in the U.S. get the recommended amount of physical activity needed for heart health, according to the American

Heart Association’s 2025 Heart & Stroke Statistical Update.

National recommendations call for children to get at least one hour of physical activity each day, but the latest statistics show less than 19% of children in the U.S. achieve that target. Meanwhile, less than half of adults get the recommended 150 minutes or more of weekly physical activity.

What’s more, according to data from a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1 in 4 U.S. adults sits for longer

than eight hours each day, which can have negative consequences on physical and mental health.

For decades, the American Heart Association has championed the importance of physical activity in communities across the country. ese tips and information can help you understand how a brisk walk can make a world of di erence for heart health and mental clarity.

Bene ts of Physical Activity

Staying active is one of the best ways to keep your mind and body healthy.

e physical health bene ts may be obvious, but research suggests physical activity can also help bring more joy to your life.

According to the 2019 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, people who get the recommended amount of physical activity are less likely to experience depression.

Regular physical activity enhances your mood, sharpens your mind, improves sleep and boosts overall well-being, all while reducing the risk of disease and depression and increasing both the quality and lon-

gevity of life.

How to Be More Physically Active

Exercise as simple as a brisk walk can put a major spring in your step. It can even energize you to nish other tasks at hand, whether it’s cooking or running errands. Give your daily physical activity level a boost with these tips:

Exercising outdoors is a great way to get moving. Spending time outdoors has been shown to reduce stress, promote a sense of belonging and improve mood. It’s even better if you can enjoy the sunshine outside, which can improve mood, boost your immunity and help you get some vitamin D. Invite a family member or friend along with you. It’s good for them, it’s good for you and it’s good company all around. Instead of wondering if you’ll move today, explore how you’ll move. A walk, a dance or a stretch all count.

Getting Pets Involved

Pets are part of your family, and they can help you get healthy together. Pets provide a fun reason to spend more time outside and get the exercise needed to reduce the risk of disease later in life.

Getting moving along with your pet adds more exercise to your routine, which means living longer, reducing risk of dying from heart attack or stroke, reducing risk of diabetes, reducing stress and even boosting your overall happiness and well-being.

Exercising with your pet can also mean enjoying more socializing. You may nd yourself meeting other dog owners in your area on a walk or at the dog park. (Family Features & American Heart Association)

You managed to book the last room le .

And you were lucky to get it, too. Your favorite vacation spot is apparently now everyone else’s favorite, too, and that makes it hard to land a much-needed getaway. Pick another date? Yeah, but that might not work. If that’s the place you want to stay, as in the new book

“ e Haunting of Room 904” by Erika T. Wurth, you might not have a ghost of a chance.

Olivia Becente hadn’t been in the Brown Palace in years and she didn’t want to go to the Brown again, then or now. Not a er her sister, Naiche, killed herself in one of the hotel’s rooms.

So much happened that night. Olivia was wracked with guilt, earned or not. She missed her sister deeply. And then there was that “gi ” she’d inherited somehow, a gi that made her see and hear people in other worlds. A gi that kept her busy collecting haunted objects from people who wanted to rid themselves of boxes and books and tchotchkes that were deeply malevolent. It was part of her job – one she couldn’t do without her gay best

friend, assistant, and sidekick, Alejandro, who also knew how to keep spirits away.

Now the manager of the Brown had called, insisting that he’d found something that involved Naiche. Olivia didn’t want to go, but how could she not?

Decades ago, Mrs. Luella Stillwell was a Denver socialite who dabbled in the occult. She was instrumental in forming a secret club called the Sacred 36, a club that Naiche had joined before she died. Rumors swirled, including one involving

the Sand Creek Massacre, in which a village of Natives was murdered by soldiers; one claiming that Stillwell’s spirit still lived in a mirror at the Brown; and one involved a quinquennial suicide in room 904.

And, as Olivia discovered to her horror, one involving her sister.

Naiche, it seemed, was now haunting that evil room…

Based loosely with a real event in mind, “ e Haunting of Room 904” is deliciously shivery with a big splash of evil, and full of nightmare-giving scenarios.

It’s also full of tiny quirks that readers might notice, and growl. Editing errors, repetition, the sorts of things that are absolutely noticeable and might mar a story

when you do – and yet, who could resist a novel complete with Ouija boards, misty mirrors, and hideous spirits with portals from beyond? Who can look away from a story in which even the nicest character is a possible suspect? Not you, if you’re a horror novel fan.

Add in a wealthy goth woman, vampirishly-decorated settings, a stalker, a vengeful journalist, and, well, author Erika T. Wurth will have you turning your mirrors toward the wall and keeping the lights on all night.

If you relish a tale based in Native American history and culture and you want it to make you scared, “ e Haunting of Room 904” is it. Find this book and make room for it on your shelf.

Emergency Responders, Students Gather at Third Rotorfest

The third annual Rotorfest, held this month at Pennsylvania College of Technology, brought more than 500 K-12 students and educators to campus to learn about the college’s emergency management & homeland security major and interact with a wide range of emergency response professionals.

Unlike the previous two years, when ideal spring weather boosted the outdoor venue, this year’s chilly temperatures and wind added new elements to be managed

by the event hosts.

“ e third annual Rotorfest was a fantastic day! We had some challenges with weather, but our students were able to adjust and still pull o a highly successful event,” said William A. Schlosser, instructor of emergency management & homeland security. “ e ability to be exible is an absolute requirement for these future emergency managers.”

Michael J. Gruber, an emergency management & homeland security junior from Rockville, Maryland, who served as

incident commander for Rotorfest, added, “ is is the real world, especially in emergency response. We never know what is going to hit us. Cold. Wind. Rain. Snow. Sunshine. We need to be prepared for anything.”

Jeremy Brown, a criminal justice instructor at Lycoming CTC, noted it was the rst time the center had visited Rotorfest, due to a wide range of spring eld trip options.

“We’re enjoying it,” he said. “ e di erent stations are giving our students exposure to the career opportunities in our eld plus additional exposure to the programs o ered at the college.”

It was also the rst time for Laurel Mountain K9 Search & Rescue, and the Tioga County unit’s search dog attracted many enamored onlookers. Volunteer Denise Drabick, a retired high school principal and educator, raved over Rotorfest: “ is is a wonderful experience with all of the hands-on learning for the kids!”

For Penn College students enrolled in the emergency management & homeland security major, Rotorfest provides the challenge of planning and executing a largescale event, while utilizing their education in incident command, eld management and security tactics.

Gruber says a crucial aspect of planning the annual event is the community relations involved. “It gives us the opportunity to communicate with and collaborate with the community, bringing together resources and agencies,” he said. “It gives us that real-world practicum.”

While building rapport with those agencies, Rotorfest also gives the college students key connections with professionals in their career eld.

Secrets to a Great Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese is an ideal comfort food. It’s crispy, buttery and full of warm and gooey cheese. Many people grow up enjoying grilled cheese as children, and then continue digging in to this delight as they get older.

While grilled cheese may seem like simple fare, there are some techniques to make it even more delicious. is includes strategies to make it golden brown with perfectly melted cheese.

When preparing grilled cheese, you do not want to rush the process and end up with burnt bread. Try placing the grilled cheese in a cold pan and then letting everything heat up together slowly over medium-low heat. is ensures the heat is evenly distributed and the cheese will melt as the bread develops its golden color.

Aim for optimal coverage of butter or mayonnaise. Yes, you read that correctly. Some culinary experts, like the ones at Bon Appétit, recommend

using mayo in lieu of butter to spread on the bread because it has a higher smoke point and is less likely to burn while cooking. Be sure to spread your butter or mayo all over to the edges of the bread for optimal coverage and avor.

Next, select a good quality cheese that melts well. Some are better than others in this department. ey include colby, havarti, swiss, monterey jack, muenster, American, smoked gouda, and cheddar.

en work with a recipe that will elevate the grilled cheese even further, such as “Smoked Gouda and Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Cheese,” courtesy of the Food Network Kitchen.

Smoked Gouda and Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Cheese Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 8 1⁄3- to 1⁄2-inch-thick slices Pullman bread

• 4 ounces smoked gouda, very thinly sliced with a cheese slicer

• 4 slices muenster cheese (about 4 ounces)

• 1 medium jarred roasted red pepper, drained, dried and thinly sliced

• 2 cups baby arugula

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, soened

Directions:

1. Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with some of the smoked gouda, 1 slice of the muenster, a thin layer of sliced red pepper (about 2 tablespoons), 1⁄2 cup of the baby arugula, and another layer of smoked gouda. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. inly and evenly spread the butter on both sides of the bread using 11⁄2 tablespoons of the butter for each sandwich.

2. Place 2 sandwiches into a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Use These If You Dare: More Weird Words for Your Webb Week

By Joseph W. Smith III

Here in Webb’s “Weird Words” slot, we like themes. Indeed, over the past 85 installments, we’ve selected oddball vocabulary based on animals, money, romance, Easter, Christmas, March madness, April Fools’ and even the presidential inauguration. We’ve covered long words, short words, hyphens, doublets, blends and “kangaroo words” — while side-stepping into such other linguistic areas as pronunciation and etymology.

I’ve got plenty of ideas for other themes in the future (anagrams; palindromes; bird-words; terms from names and colors) — and I’d love suggestions from readers, too; email robbwhitefan@gmail.com Please!

But for now, let’s continue what we started nearly two years ago: batches of unusual vocab — with meaning(s), pronunciation, part of speech and other related info.

This week’s selection: Bohunk (BOW-hunk, noun) – Now considered offensive and thus best

avoided, this is an old slang term for a foreign-born person from Eastern or Central Europe — especially an unskilled laborer. Its origin blends “Bohemian” with “Hungarian.”

(Some might ask, “If it’s offensive, then why include it?!” Well: Dictionaries have it! And in my own case, I recently encountered this in an older novel and didn’t know what it meant….)

Doggery (DOG-uh-ree, noun) – More long-ago slang — in this case for a saloon, tavern or other place where liquor is sold. Bearing negative overtones (“that doggery was a real dump!”), it’s often used with the adjective “low.” According to the exhaustive Collins, it can also mean “surly behavior” (i.e., doglike); or “a group of dogs”; or a mob of any sort.

Mycophagist (my-KAH-fuh-jist, noun) – “One that eats fungi (such as mushrooms)” (Merriam-Webster). Can refer to any animal that does this, or to human connoisseurs.

The word comprises two Greek elements: myc(o) (fungus, mushrooms) and phag, meaning “thing that devours.” As you may have guessed, the

MEADOW VIEW

latter gave us esophagus; and it’s also the source of one offbeat term for a coffin: sarcophagus Sarx is Greek for “flesh” — so that weird word literally means “swallower of flesh.”

But maybe stick with “casket” when you’re standing at graveside!

Peccadillo (peck-uh-DILL-oh, noun) – Actually a fairly familiar word — but still unique and fun to use — peccadillo means a relatively minor offense or “a trifling fault” (Dictionary.com). The Latin root peccatum (“sin” or “transgression”) also gave us impeccable — a common synonym for “flawless” — along with rarer words like peccant, peccable and peccavi (all related to sin and guilt).

Rebarbative (ree-BAR-buh-tive, adj.) – “Tending to irritate; repellent” (American Heritage). Through a rather complicated etymology, this comes ultimately from the Latin barbe, meaning “beard” (as in barber). It originally had to do with confronting or opposing; and indeed, that action is actually an older meaning of “beard” — when

used as a verb. A-I offers this sample sentence: “He bearded the formidable-looking librarian.”

I dunno — isn’t “formidable librarian” kind of an oxymoron?

Spondulix (SPAHN-joo-licks, noun) – Also spelled spondulicks, this is an old slang term for money; the word can be found in fiction by both O. Henry and Mark Twain (cf. Huck Finn — which also contains the phrase “low doggery”).

No one’s certain about origin of spondulix; but the authoritative Online Etymology Dictionary suggests it may come from the Greek spondylos, meaning “seashell” — since some ancient cultures used these for currency. Related in the sense of a small circular object, the original Greek word literally meant “vertebra” — as in the medical condition spondylitis

So just two weeks after Tax Day, perhaps it’s ok to conclude with a few other comic slang-terms for cash: moolah, loot, bones, greenbacks, boodle and brass — with a heavy tendency toward foodstuffs (bread, dough, gravy, cabbage, clams, bacon, cheddar). And let’s not forget the grand old simoleon, which means simply “dollar.”

See you here next week!

The

Sportsman… Opening Day Tactics for 2025

By Jon Pries

We’ve finally settled into a spring-like weather pattern; the redbud trees are beginning to blossom, and the wild leeks are about ready to pick! And now, this Saturday, May 3rd, the long-anticipated opening day of the Pennsylvania spring gobbler season will finally arrive! These are the days many of us have been daydreaming about for weeks, so let’s take a look at a few opening-day tactics that may ensure success in the turkey woods. There are two things you still have a little time to do before opening morning, and both are extremely important. The first is to pattern your shotgun. It is amazing how often this critical step is overlooked, and it can be the one reason that will ensure failure in making a clean kill on a turkey you may have worked very hard to get in range. Whether on a paper target with a turkey silhouette or on a flat patterning board, it only takes one or two shots to verify that your shotgun is shooting

exactly where you want it to.

Secondly, have you located your setup spot and your predawn route into the woods? Hopefully, while you have been scouting to locate a gobbler or two, you also determined exactly where you plan to sit once you have arrived on opening morning. If you have not, there is still time to locate a spot, but it would be best to do so in mid-afternoon when any turkeys in the area have long since left their roosting locations and are out feeding. When the eastern sky is beginning to become light on opening morning, it is not the time to be walking around aimlessly looking for a spot to hunt from!

During the opening day and throughout the early season, the turkeys in the area you plan to hunt should be relatively undisturbed. They will generally accept some tactics that, later in the season, they will have been educated to and, thus, will be less likely to respond to. I refer to decoys, calling, and positioning.

Many of the turkeys may have never seen a decoy before (in the previous

spring or fall season). us, it may be the best time to try using a decoy setup to help lure in a bird. In a woods setting, where you may not want to carry multiple decoys, a single hen decoy placed along a logging road or an opening in the woods will help draw the interest of a gobbler. If setting up in a eld edge or other large openings, it would be better to use multiple decoys. Two hen decoys and a jake decoy make an ideal setup to bring in a mature gobbler looking to defend his territory and hens.

When it comes to calling, simply don’t overcall. Too o en, we “learn” our techniques by watching videos or TV shows, where aggressive and continual calling seems to be the norm. What they don’t depict on these shows and in the videos are the long periods of silence that occur in real life as they patiently wait for a response from a nearby bird. A period of 20 to 30 minutes between calls will be much more realistic in the woods, and then a single cluck or two, or a short series of yelps will sound much more like a live hen. Continual and aggressive calling will best serve to educate nearby turkeys that there is a hunter in the area!

Choosing an exact position from which to hunt, hopefully well before the season opens, can be a key factor in a successful hunt. Select a large tree near a roost area or in the area where the turkeys travel or feed, and make sure there are clear areas through which to shoot and that there is no brush to obstruct a clear view and clear shot. e ideal tree will be at least shoulder-width in size. Ideally, there will be several sites in the area where you will be hunting that you can use as your setup location. It is easy for the turkeys to pattern you when they hear calling coming from the same exact location day a er day.

Remember to carry more calls than you think you need. You should have a box call or two, and one or two slate calls, and several mouth calls as well. You can never know ahead of time just which call will work best on a given day. By having multiple calls that offer a variety of tone and pitch, you will have a much better chance of interesting a passing gobbler. Good luck, have fun, and remember - it is critical to positively identify your target and the surroundings before you pull the trigger!

It appears spring has nally arrived; the dogwoods are owering, and those little green buds are turning into leaves. For us shing enthusiasts, this creates a real problem, especially if you pursue a variety of sh.

We’ve been pursuing trout in streams and lakes, and now we can add large and smallmouth bass, crappies, bluegills, perch, and several other species of pan sh to that list. All of these sh become quite active in the spring, and they all provide some great shing experiences. But while a host of shing opportunities now exist, so does a host of “work” possibilities. e grass needs cut, gardening preparations will soon be underway, and all of those little x-up jobs that were put o all winter are demanding

our attention. Spring, of course, broadens our shing opportunities considerably, and we sher types are faced with some tough decisions. Do I head out and wade a local stream for some trout, or is it time to get the boat out and head to a favorite lake for some crappies and other pan sh? Or maybe I should load up all my bass shing gear, two or three tackle boxes, and a half-dozen di erent rods and try to pick up some smallmouth bass along a rocky shoreline in the Susquehanna River. e truth is any one of these scenarios can provide some great shing experiences in the days to come. We already know that trout shing can be pretty productive right now, but so can the pursuit of smallmouth bass. As the river water warms, smallmouths start

Ken Hunter

to become more active, and a variety of lures will be produced.

Leadhead jigs of one-eighth to one-quarter once, tipped with soft plastic, are always a good choice, as are Ned-rigs. Brown plastics that imitate crayfish are usually pretty dependable. I prefer fishing these lures with a medium action rod and an open-faced spinning reel spooled with about 6-8 pound test fluorocarbon line.

Largemouth bass are a little slower to become active come spring since they prefer slightly warmer water than their close relative, the smallmouth. Some good choices for largemouths in spring would be a Texas or Carolina rigged worm or crayfish imitation worked slowly on or near the bottom.

If you got your grass cut and some of those repair jobs out of the way and you don’t want to lug a lot of gear, maybe some simple panfishing is the answer. Even if you don’t have a boat, crappie fish-

ing can be very productive from the shoreline since crappies move into wood cover and rock structures near the shoreline in 8 to 3 feet of water to spawn. Ultralight spinning gear with those good old leadhead jigs but in smaller sizes work very well. Tip the jig with brown, white, chartreuse, or even pink or orange soft plastic about two inches or less. Keep a tight line and a slow retrieve, and be ready for that slight tap-set of the hook right away.

Obviously, there is no shortage of fishing opportunities in these early spring days. Come to think of it, there’s no shortage of fishing opportunities all summer.

The problem is there’s no shortage of work opportunities all summer either, which reminds me that I have to finish putting trim around the inside of our new windows. Oh yeah, and I have to get the lawn mower running and I have some brush that needs cleared.

Perhaps the novelty has begun to waiver a bit once the reality of winning a state championship has sunk into the players and coaches of the Loyalsock Township state champion girls’ basketball team, but their accomplishment made school and District IV history and the smiles on their faces and pride in their hearts remain as fresh as on that March 20 evening when the Giant Center became a Township annex.

It is said to have originated in 1832

during a New York State political campaign, but the saying “To the Victor Go the Spoils” now has its roots rmly embedded in the Loyalsock Township high school trophy case. Yes, the state championship plaque is there, but so are the proclamations citing Curtis Jacobson, Class AAA Coach of the Year, Alaina Dadzie Player of the Year, and teammate Lacy Kriebel as a second-team honoree.

Some might describe the Lady Lancers’ 30-2 state championship

season as having a storybook ending, but the fantastic conclusion was not storybook stu , nor was it ction. It was achieved by a group of girls and their coaches dedicating themselves to achieving what some may have thought to be unattainable.

ball, players could only dribble twice; at that point, the player must shoot or pass to a teammate.

Beginning in 1958, the O ce of Civil Rights started looking at banning sixon-six high school girls’ basketball. It took 37 years to nally phase it out, with Oklahoma being the last state to give it up in 1995.

ey were the rst area girls’ basketball team to do what they did, but like other monumental accomplishments of the past, there were pioneers, sometimes unnamed, that paved the way to make the path they followed a bit easier.

I would venture a guess that none of the Lancer players are aware of the 1968 Virginia Slims advertising slogan, “You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!” In recent years, our area has become a hotbed for successful girls’ athletic achievements. It hasn’t always been that way, and some signi cant achievements by competitively driven, talented young ladies helped pave the way for the opportunities that soon followed.

In times of old, girls wanting to play basketball were limited to a game of six-on-six basketball, the rules of which by today’s standards were archaic:

1. Teams had six players: three forwards and three guards.

2. Only forwards were allowed to shoot the ball. Forwards had to stay in their team’s frontcourt, and guards had to stay in their team’s backcourt.

e forwards only played o ense; the guards only played defense.

3. Unlimited dribbling was not allowed. Once in possession of the

In the 1970s, a young South Williamsport girl wanted to play Little League Baseball but was denied. She and her mother wanted answers from LLB Headquarters but were shunned. As society began to change, she was permitted to play and made the Little Mountaineer All-Star team. In her rst All-Star game, she was the leado batter. As she approached the plate, the public address announcer said, “Now batting Dennis Day.” e batter stepped out of the batter’s

box, looked up at the press box, and proudly stated, “It’s Denise Day.”

Upon high school graduation, she received a so ball scholarship to attend the University of Nebraska. She etched her name into Husker history by becoming a two-time All-American, led her team to four conference championships and its rst Women’s College World Series appearance, and in 1985, she won the Honda Award as the nation’s best so ball player. e University retired her number 10 and enshrined her in the school’s Hall of Fame.

Following graduation, she played on the gold medal winning United State National Team in 1990 and was a member of the 1991 Pan Am team.

During the time Day was tearing up the so ball diamond, Montoursville’s Kelly Mazzante was making her mark on the basketball court. During her four-year high school career, she scored 3,217 points and was a fourtime All-State selection.

She went on to star at Penn State, graduating in 2004 as the Big Ten’s alltime leading scorer with 2,919 points and being a two-time Associated Press First Team All-American. She went on to play seven years in the WNBA, winning two league titles with the Phoenix Mercury in 2007 and 2009.

She later played professionally in Europe. Mazzante now serves as an assistant coach at Georgetown University.

ose ‘pioneers’ have been followed by a bevy of local young ladies who have excelled in their chosen sport over the years. Among the recent champions are South Williamsport’s Oliva Dorner, winner of two consecutive state tennis titles in 2020/21; Montgomery’s state champions so ball team in 2022; Williamsport’s Marisa Rumsey state wrestling champion at 136 pounds in 2022; and the Montgomery girls PIAA state wrestling champions this past spring comprised of Zoe Furman, Jenna Houseknecht, and Emily Murphy.

Joining Dadzie and Kriebel as AllState selections are Jersey Shore’s Peyton Dincher, named as an AAAA selection for the third straight year, and AAA Hughesville’s Alli Anstadt, the rst Spartan to achieve the honor this century.

In 1967, an Aretha Franklin song, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, spoke out on women’s behalf. irty years later, Shania Twain’s 1997 hit Man, I Feel Like a Woman, upped the ante. In 2025, our local female athletes have won their respect and taken the sports they play to a much higher level.
