Proud and Appreciative To Welcome the World

What an amazing time of year to live in our little corner of God’s green earth.

First up, if you are in town for the 78th playing of the Little League World Series, let me welcome you. I wish you and your team, as you spent this summer on this fantastic journey, good luck, great health, and safe travels. For those of you who have just come as fans of baseball, you’re about to witness The Greatest Show on Earth when it comes to youth sports.

Although everybody wants to make it here first as a player, then as a parent, possibly a coach, or just a proud member of a hometown Little League, the good news for you is you don’t have all that stress of wanting to win that final game.

My advice to those who are here cheering on one of these 20 teams that have won their way here, as hard as it is to do, is to sit back, relax, and consider this a celebration for all the hard work the kids put in. Please don’t take me the wrong way, I always want to win that last game, but you’ve got to keep things in perspective and realize you’ve already won the golden ticket to the Little League capital of the world.

We are very friendly folks around these parts, so please, if you need anything, don’t be afraid to ask. I have spent my

whole life in the friendly confines of the West Branch Valley, and I look forward to talking baseball and answering any questions possible for Little League folks. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll point you in the right direction.

I am proud every year to say I played my Little League baseball right here in South Williamsport, for Kings Motel and the Little Mountaineer Little League. I was blessed with great teammates, great coaches, and an amazing Little League experience. My coaches, Bob English and Dick Whiteman, may now be coaching from above, but they’ll never be forgotten.

My All-Star dream back in the late seventies was to win my way from Kane Street, where my business is now located, up to the top of the hill and play at Howard J. Lamade Stadium. Back then, it was a much different tournament that featured only eight teams traveling that road to Williamsport. And did I mention that when you lost, the journey was over? There was no double elimination or even pool play. So, my All-Star run was a short one, but I still got to experience the dream of every Little Leaguer. I’m sure, as you’re reading this, most of you are thinking of your Little League baseball experience. Incidentally, my coaches also called Kane Street home

back in the day. I was then blessed to coach both my sons in Little League baseball. They were much better players than I ever was, and both enjoyed All-Star success. My oldest son, with me in the dugout, even made a run at a state title, unfortunately, with visions of Bristol dancing in our heads, it came to an end. But what an amazing summer it was.

That gets me to a couple more serious points that often get forgotten about when young athletes reach a high level of success. Please remember, whether it’s your kid playing or you’re just watching, they are just 11 and 12-year-old kids. The level they perform at is truly remarkable, and sometimes folks lose sight of that.

The next thing is about something that has become tougher and tougher in the world we now live in, being an umpire. Please remember the umpires you are watching are also experiencing this amazing journey to the LLWS. They have earned their way here, but are human beings just like you and me. Please show them the great respect they deserve, and that includes those umps back home at your local league. The world is in search of more umpires, officials, and referees. Please be part of the solution, not the problem. Maybe you would make a great umpire.

I’ll finish my thoughts about umpires up

with a problem we have here in our area, unfortunately, none of them are getting any younger. For whatever reason, the generations behind them haven’t kept up with the demand for these special people. A sincere thank you to every umpire for doing your best at every level, from Little League right on up to the college teams that play here in our local area.

Moving right along, a tip of my 78th Little League World Series cap to Pat Wilson, another lifer from here in Williamsport. I have known Pat for a long time and he’s one of the good guys. Just in case you missed it, this will be his first World Series as Little League Baseball’s president and chief executive officer. Pat took the reins from Steve Keener, whom I’d like to give a shoutout to and thank again for his years of dedication to improving the game and organization.

I will wrap up this week with the Little League pledge and a final thought. I trust in God. I love my country. And will respect its laws. I will play fair and strive to win. But win or lose, I will always do my best.

Great and powerful words to teach kids and ask them to live by while they’re growing up. Just think how much better the world would be if the adults followed the same pledge.

There is much within the pages ahead about the LLWS and our area. Let’s be safe out there and enjoy. God Bless America.

From the Editor…

Batter Up!

Well, hey there, y’all — it’s that time of year again! Bittersweet, like that last s’more of the season when the marshmallow’s perfect but you know swimsuit weather is about to be replaced with school supply aisles. Yep — it’s Little League World Series season in Williamsport!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the LLWS is the unofficial beginning of the end of summer. It’s like the calendar’s way of saying, “Hope you enjoyed those popsicles — now grab a hoodie.” And while I’m a little bummed to watch another summer fly by at warp speed (seriously, wasn’t it just June?), I can’t help but get excited.

This year marks my 22nd LLWS as a photographer, which is wild because I’m obviously only 25. There’s just something magical about being down in the photo wells with all that excitement swirling around. It’s one of my absolute favorite things — right up there with Coke Zero and Fairplay Bourbon (but not together).

That said, I’ve got a big thing happening at home this weekend (teaser alert!), so I won’t be out at the complex quite as much as usual — but don’t worry, I’ll spill all the juicy details next week.

Fingers crossed, I’m also waiting to hear back on my MLB Classic credentials. I’ve been approved the last two years, so I’m hoping the third time’s the charm (and not a “thanks but no thanks” email). If you’ve got any good

Chicken Little

vibes to spare, send them my way.

Last year’s game was an absolute blast. I had my own seat! With a name tag! Like real media personnel! Honestly, being credentialed for these games still feels like a dream. I’m holding out

hope that one day I’ll get full photo access and not just be the person hovering near the action, pretending not to drool on my camera. Now, let’s talk baseball allegiances for a sec: as a long-suffering Braves fan, I’ll reluctantly cheer for the Mets this weekend. Emphasis on “reluctantly.” But hey — it’s still better than

rooting for the Yankees (don’t come for me).

Truly, though, I count myself incredibly lucky to have a job that lets me do things like this. Capturing these moments and sharing them with y’all is something I’ll never take for granted — even when it’s 98 degrees and my camera lens is foggier than my brain before coffee.

As the world descends on our little slice of the world, here’s your friendly neighborhood reminder: be nice. We’ve got a charming city — with some more than mildly confusing traffic patterns, let’s be honest. One-way streets, alleys that look like driveways, roads that could double as tightropes — it’s a lot. So if you see someone from out of town doing a 47-point turn trying to get to Dunkin’ — give them a break. We’ve all been there.

Also, the traffic is going to be bonkers — especially between Southside and Williamsport. Add in Wawa, Chick-Fil-A, and whatever cosmic force turns every red light into a 10-minute stop, and, yeah… maybe leave five minutes early. Or twenty.

Most importantly: drive safe. The rumble strips on 15 are doing their job (knock on wood), but don’t let your guard down. Keep your eyes on the road, your phone out of your hands (it’s illegal in PA, remember?), and your seatbelt on. We want everyone to enjoy the magic of this time — and make it home safely. So go on, get out there and enjoy it all! Catch a game, cheer loud, slide down the hill like you’re eight years old again (or just supervise with snacks in hand — neither your back nor mine is what it used to be).

This really is the best time of year to be in Williamsport — soak it in while it lasts.

78th Little League Baseball World Series Starts This Week

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

The eyes of the sporting world will again be on South Williamsport when the 78th Little League Baseball World Series begins play this week. There will, of course, be a lot of great baseball played, but many other attractions to the Series as well.

Everything gets off to a roaring start with the Annual Grand Slam Parade, which takes place on Tuesday, August 12. New baseball Hall of Famer, Billy Wagner, will serve as the Grand Marshal of the event.

Spring Sale!

March 31st - April 5th

In addition, Little League officials state that they will be adding a new level of excitement and fun; this year’s Series will feature a variety of daily promotions, giveaways, and fan experiences. Nightly light shows will return with added fan participation via the official LLWS Mobile App, and special giveaways, including an exclusive pin on Opening Day, Dugout mascot bobbleheads, and a four-piece puzzle pin set that will be distributed over multiple days. The Little League Fan Zone and Official Partners will have giveaways, photo ops, and events throughout the tournament, plus exclusive mystery pins available for purchase at the Little League Flagship Store on select days throughout the tournament.

And of course, the annual MLB/Little League Classic will be played at Historic Bowman Field on the night of August 17th between two pennant contenders, the Seattle Mariners

and the New York Mets.

The “Williamsport Welcomes the World” event will be taking place in downtown Williamsport on Friday, August 22.

As always, Little League staff strives to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for attendees of the Little League Baseball World Series, and as part of this effort, we have a clear bag policy.

Over the past few years, many stadiums, sports organizations, and other event venues have implemented a clear bag policy to enhance the safety and security of their events at the urging of law enforcement agencies. The safety and security of everyone on our complex remains a top priority for Little League International, and this policy will serve as an additional way to enhance those efforts with the support of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. In addition to increasing the safety standards at the Little League World Series, this policy will assist Little League in expediting entrance into the complex to provide visitors with the best possible experience during their time in Williamsport. As part of the policy, the following bags are permitted at the security check point at the Little League International Complex:

• Clear Bags in the material of Plastic, Vinyl, or PVC (20”x20”x6” or smaller)

Aubrey Slagus Charity Golf Tournament

Aubrey is the sweetest girl with a big heart and an energetic personality. People are drawn to her wherever she goes! She is a loving daughter, sister and a wonderful friend to anyone who is lucky enough to know her. She loves to dance, and play golf. Aubrey was a competitive dancer until epilepsy interfered with her dancing ability.

Aubrey began having seizures weeks before her thirteenth birthday. Her seizure activity has worsened the past three years as her medications failed. She now has daily seizures and is on three medications for epilepsy after trying eight other medications. She has undergone two brain surgeries, one to locate exactly where her seizures originate from and the second was to insert a RNS device to hopefully prevent seizures from happening before they begin. She has inspired us all with her bravery, strength and courage fighting this battle. Our prayer is for Aubrey’s seizures to be controlled so she can get back to being a normal sixteen-year-old girl living life to its fullest potential.

The Slagus family is blessed with three daughters. Aubrey will be a sophomore in this fall at Montoursville. Her younger sister, Gabriella, is going into the eighth grade as her little sister, Lilah, is going into fifth grade in the Montoursville

Left: Michael Lingg • Center: Ian Helt • Right: William Kieser

area school district. The family recently moved back to Montoursville from Georgia after previously living in Loyalsock.

First and foremost, we would like prayers for Aubrey’s health. If you can find it in your heart to bless the Slagus family with a donation, please make checks payable to the Aubrey Slagus Charity Event.

Donations can be made on the website www.Slagus.perfectgolfevent.com. We need golfers, volunteers, gift sponsors, hole sponsors and gift baskets.

We would like to spend the day getting to know those who participate in the golf tournament and then enjoy a delicious dinner at the Genetti with live music from Aubrey’s grandfather, Pete DeSanto, playing the drums in the band, Loose Cats.

Along with raising money for the Slagus Family, we want to show community support and love for Aubrey and her family. Aubrey has been through so much, so we just want an outpouring of love. Her light is so bright, and it has been dimmed through the struggles of her health. May we rise as a community not just for one, but for all children that struggle with health issues. Someone once said, “It takes a village to raise a child.” We all need each other, every day, to stay vigilant over all children.

Happy Hundredth! Weird Words Reaches Its Centennial

By Joseph W. Smith III

s of this week, Webb’s Weird Words has wended its way to 100 articles.

In celebration, your overworked columnist is taking a break from actual lists of oddball terms. Instead, this word-Smith figured faithful readers might enjoy an inside look at how the pieces get written — my process, as it were. And … as most of you already know:

It starts with books.

ers its info from those earlier time-tested tomes.)

Sometimes, if the word can’t be found on the app — as with my recent entry baggywrinkle — I’ll dig for it elsewhere … just because I’m hoping it really is a word!

I’m well on my way to fulfilling a goal to read 1000 titles in retirement; and Lord only knows what the grand-total is since I fell in love with reading as a teen. Yet in nearly every book, I still come across strange terms that I don’t know. (And this sometimes happens with periodicals too — not to mention the occasional episode of Jeopardy!)

Upon finding something odd or unfamiliar, I look it up on my Dictionary.com app — and if it’s in there, I take a screen shot.

(You might think an internet source is not as authoritative as, for example, standard hard-copy dictionaries like Thorndyke Barnhart or Funk & Wagnalls. But by and large, Dictionary.com simply gath-

After a few weeks, I usually have a handful of these screenshots — so I transfer them to my master doc, which now stands at a whopping 3100 words. And since the master isn’t alphabetical, this transfer involves a quick search to make sure it isn’t already there; I added this step last year after discovering that some words were listed three or even four times. (Old man problems — ugh.)

And then, with a Wednesday deadline, I pull out the doc on Tuesday and select about a dozen words at random.

But: After I started “Weird Words” in 2023, I eventually got tired of random lists week after week; so I sometimes mix it up with themes: bird-words, boatwords, holiday words, “kangaroo words” (look it up!), pronunciation, etymology — even a list of totally made-up terms for April Fools this year. (Lzurtz and rotfluxanolol were faves — the latter coined to include two texting abbrevs. for laughter.)

WEIRD WORDS

It’s tough to tell how many individual words I can cover on any given week. Some entries generate so much material that I wind up with just six or seven terms in a single piece. For instance: I once did an 800-word article — my max for Webb — entirely on the word peduncle. (Let’s hope that wasn’t as boring as it sounds.)

And then, once I’ve chosen my words for the week, I line them up in alphabetical order and get to work.

First step: pronunciation — which can be tricky. (See several earlier Webb columns on this!) Fact is, English has far more sounds than letters; th and sh, for instance, don’t have their own symbols. So sticklers use the International Phonetic Alphabet, which assigns one of those for each sound (th gets the Greek theta — an “O” with a line through the middle).

Naturally, I can’t use these in my columns — the results looks like gibberish. So, once I’ve figured out proper pronunciation using more traditional renderings (Dictionary.com is reliable), I just do the best I can to spell it out. Not an exact science — but usually sufficient.

(YOU-zyuh-leesuh-FISH-ent.)

As for definitions: By now, readers know I’m an inveterate dictionary-collector (83 at this point — all different); so even though I generally turn to Dictionary.com first, I usually keep 5-10 of my faves near

the laptop for reference. Top-choice is my fourth edition of The American Heritage Dictionary, a profusely illustrated eightpound beauty. I also like Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate, Collins and the Random House College.

Unless I find a definition so clear and terse that I can quote it directly, I like to conflate several of these sources, being careful to give alternate senses where appropriate.

And I usually check the etymology — that is, the word’s origin: what language(s) it came from, along with former spellings and meanings — esp. if related to more familiar terms. (For instance, peduncle — mentioned above — is related to both uncle and the Latin base ped, meaning “foot”; but it took a very long paragraph to explain how!)

And that’s it — except for proofreading and revising, which I consider essential for any writing project (yes, even emails and texts — for you semi-literate, 21st-century cell-junkies!).

I often have a few words left over if the entries run too long; those get saved for later. And of course I then go to my master and check off all terms I used that week.

There’s enough gobbledygook in these pieces without repeating the same word twice — hear, hear!

There is truth that is not always true for everyone everywhere. It is communal truth, or truth of second importance. As such, communal truth can never contradict universal truth. Communal truth provides us with magnetic north. True north is a fixed position on the globe that never changes and is the standard reference point for navigational maps. It is always true for everyone everywhere on Earth. The position of magnetic north, however, is constantly changing in response to Earth’s shifting magnetic field. As I am writing this paragraph, the magnetic north is in the Arctic Ocean north of Russia and is slowly drifting toward Siberia. If I were navigating from Russia to the North Pole, my compass would begin pointing south after passing magnetic north, and I would be lost and confused. In traveling, as in life, it is vital to know the difference between true north and magnetic north. While true north is exact, constant, and fully reliable, a traveler can’t always see

enough topography to verify their exact location on the map. In those times of uncertainty, a compass is invaluable for gaining a sense of direction. Communal truth is important. Communal can be defined as relating to a community of people who share a common reality. It can be a group of people who share in a bloodline, a location, or a set of interests, goals, and beliefs. You likely participate in several communities, and in each one, there will be truth that applies only within that shared common reality. That is the nature of communal truth. For example:

I am a Pennsylvania deer hunter. It is universally true in my state that legal shooting hours are from one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset. What is not universally true across the state is the exact time of sunrise and sunset. The sun rises and sets about twenty minutes earlier on the eastern side of the state than it does on the western side. The one-half hour rule is universal, but the exact start and end of legal shooting time is communal because it is based on a hunter’s specific location in the state and only applies to the hunters who share in that common reality.

It would be silly for a hunter near Philadelphia to argue with a hunter near Pittsburgh over legal shooting times. We already know

those times will be different based on their common reality. If those hunters focus on exact shooting times (communal truth), they will be locked in endless debate. If they focus on the one-half hour before and after sunset rule (universal truth), they will enjoy the peace of full agreement – and a lot more time for hunting.

Do you believe all Christians should adhere to your communal truth? Are you locked in endless debates with other Christians? Are you unwilling to live in unity with Christians who believe differently than you? If so, then you have a problem with Jesus.

In John 17, Jesus established a universal truth: all Christians must live in unity. If you are allowing differences in communal truth to divide you from other Christians, then you are living in disobedience to Jesus. Here is Jesus’ prayer statement about unity: My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (John 17:20-23)

It is a universal Christian truth that unity is required to please Jesus and to successfully accomplish his redemptive mission on Earth. If we defy this truth, Jesus is dis-

pleased, and his redemptive mission suffers. The hard reality is this: the mission of God is failing in America, and the likely reason is widespread Christian disunity. Our endless and fruitless debates over disputable matters (see Romans 14) leave little time or energy for celebrating the truths that unite us. American seekers don’t know whom to trust because Christians don’t trust each other.

The Pew Research Center is mapping the startling decline of Christianity in America. From 1970 to 2020, adults identifying as Christian declined from 90% to 62%. How can the most powerful force in the world be failing so miserably? There may be many reasons, but Christian disunity likely tops the list.

God wants all people to believe in Jesus, but Christian disunity keeps them from hearing and seeing the miraculous love that confirms the authenticity of the gospel message. Jesus said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35). This is why believers must be able to identify the difference between universal and communal truth. If we focus on universal truth, we will enjoy the peace and unity of full agreement, and we’ll have a lot more time to invest in the Great Commission (see Matthew 28:18-20). If we focus on communal truth, we will remain locked in endless and meaningless debate, and the mission will continue to suffer. The choice is ours to make, and according to Jesus, we would be wise to choose unity.

Denim-on-Denim

Even during a heat wave, denim is part of most folks’ weekly or even daily uniform. It’s such a versatile and durable fabric, which makes it quite functional during a hot, hot heat. But what of wearing denim with denim, aka the Canadian Tuxedo? Is that appropriate for summer, or a fashion faux pas?

Bernadette Ulsamer

and a longer length provides extra coverage. H&M’s High-Waist Knee-Length Denim shorts come in a variety of shades from pale blue to black. I’d go with the Dark Blue option and wear it with a linen tank and a chambray button-up, like J.Crew’s Short-Sleeve Indigo Organic Chambray Shirt from the men’s department. Take advantage of a high-waisted, short, and oversized shirt by tying up the tails for a more fitted look with sandals. Or leave the shirt loose for a laid-back outfit with sneakers.

While denim-on-denim looks are currently trending, it’s far from a new style. Wearing denim together originally became a trend in the 1950s and culminated with none other than Marilyn Monroe sporting a version of this look in the 1961 film “The Misfits”. Over the decades, these traditional workman garments became fashion items popping up again and again in various iterations, from ‘90s oversized double-denim looks to the infamous Britany Spears and Justin Timberlake matching denim formalwear of the early 2000s. Nowadays, there are endless options for pairing up denim pieces for warm-weather looks. Let’s consider some denim-on-denim outfitting ideas for late summer into fall.

Another natural choice to build a denim-with-denim outfit in summer is to start with a jean skirt. A mini, like Levi’s Icon Skirt, available in four washes, hits midrise to mid-thigh in a classic straight silhouette that can be worn now and well into fall. For a summer night out, pair with a sleeveless silk blouse (to contrast the more casual and rustic aesthetic of the skirt), then drape over your shoulders an oversized jean jacket, such as Old Navy’s Oversized Jean Trucker Jacket in medium wash to combat the evening chill. Finish the look with an espadrille sandal and straw mini-bag. Come fall, style the same denim pairing with a long-sleeved, printed blouse, tights, boots, and a leather bag.

Of course, miniskirts aren’t up everyone’s

Obviously, jean shorts are the first garment that comes to mind for summer denim. But instead of the cut-offs of yesteryear, a more modern take is longer, more tailored Bermuda-style jean shorts. With a wider leg, they allow for more air flow,

OUTFITS

style alley; however, don’t shrug off the idea of jean skirts altogether. Long denim skirts are just as suitable for summer as their mini counterparts and can make an outfit look edgier, especially in double-denim pairings. Think of wearing a midi/maxi jean skirt as you would jeans, but in a more unexpected way. Banana Republic Factory’s Pieced Denim Maxi Skirt with its nod to patchwork gives boho vibes tailor-made for summer. Pair it with a fitted denim vest in a matching shade, or better yet, contrast the standard blue denim with an ecru or white option like Universal Standard’s Women’s Denim Vest from Target. Wear a crochet bralette underneath or a cotton tiedye tee and buckle up some thick strappy sandals for a hippy-inspired look.

Speaking of matching shades, a denim matching set is the “get out of jail free” card when it comes to denim-on-denim. You can’t go wrong with a top and bottom made to be worn together, like J.Jill’s Indigo Tencel Lyocell Tank and Cargo Maxi Skirt. This soft set exudes easy, breezy summer, especially when styled with a floppy hat and slide-on sandals. You can wear the tank with white jeans for a bonus double-denim look, or the skirt with a striped tee and jean jacket for three denim-on-denim outfits from one set. The math adds up to me. Transition this set into autumn by layering it with drapey cardigans, woolly socks, and hiking boots.

There are, of course, always your standard go-to jeans, especially if they are a

loose or baggy cut. Skinny or fitted jeans are best put aside during summer. Pairing a loose-fitting jean with an oversized denim up top makes for an effortless, cool, and easy look. You can mix and match washes of denim to add dimension to your outfit or stick with one shade for a matching set feel. For summer, I like the idea of drawstring or pull-on jean, like Gap’s Denim Easy Cargo Joggers. These soft denims are lightweight and breezier than a zip-fly jean. Pair it with the brand’s UltraSoft Denim Big shirt for a breathable take on double denim for summer.

Of course, the idea of denim-on-denim isn’t for everyone, but it doesn’t mean you can’t still do a full denim look this season. Consider dresses, jumpsuits, or even overalls for a thrown-on-and-go summer outfit. Walmart’s Chouyatou Women’s Vintage Distressed Zip Up Jean Romper Shorts can make for a utilitarian chic ensemble. Wrangler’s Denim Shift Dress, with its boxy silhouette, can be easily worn with sneakers, and later, a mid-layer with a turtleneck, tights, and a blazer can be added. And lastly, there’s Universal Standard’s Casey Wide Leg Denim Overalls in sizes 00-40 that can be your weekend go-to from now until the end of the year.

It should be no surprise that denim in all of its forms is versatile and works not only as a functional garment, but also as a stylish one. When buddied up with other denim pieces, both the function and style are doubled, no matter the season.

Life Starts Here

orty and

I found this quote funny, but not quite accurate. Forty. Welp, unfortunately, guys, this is true. It was another big week in our house last week. I rolled into my forties. Friends and family kept asking how I felt about turning forty. I told them this was going to be my best decade yet! I fought so many sicknesses and surgeries in my thirties. It was my turn to nally have a good year — I mean, a whole decade of good health would be nice too. I’ve had enough happen to me over the past seven years to last a lifetime, so I felt like saying this wasn’t me being over the top. Since January, this is honestly the best I have felt in so long, and it’s been amazing! I’m like “Bring on the forties, baby!” ey say, life starts at forty? Let’s do it. Now, don’t get me wrong, I learned so much in my thirties, too. I worked so hard to lose 65 pounds. Seven years later, I’ve maintained my weight loss by teaching myself the importance of a high-protein, high-step-count diet, incorporating weight training, and practicing moderation. I started by making very small changes. Good things take time. I am thankful my thirties gave me the opportunity and time to want to learn and grow in my health, because there were times where I truly believed if I were that bigger girl like I

was, that it would have been much harder for me to recover from some of the health issues I had. God had a plan for me. He knew what was coming and prepared me in his own way. For that, I am blessed.

In my thirties, I de nitely got myself together and knew I had to turn my life around. If you are struggling with weight issues, only you can make the change. It’s so hard to get started, I know. But choose your hard. It’s hard to live in a bigger body. It’s hard to want to eat better and exercise. ey are both challenging, but one will give you more con dence and help you love yourself as you always should! If I can do it, you can do it! I still have more to go, but my health has played a big role in this. All my doctors —heart, lung, endo, gastro, and family—tell me it’s amazing that I’ve kept all my weight o , given everything I have been dealing with. Yes, I have like ve doctors. It’s ridiculous, but I have one heck of an amazing team. Again, God knew what he was doing. (I really wasn’t going to get into all this for this article, but here we are. I just start typing and it all ows out.)

Sprinkle of sass? Oh Lawd. We all know this is a fact. But a sprinkle? I’m more like a dollop. OK, a really big dollop. Like a big ole plop of sour cream on a cheesy chicken quesadilla. You sour cream folks know what I am talking about. I’m not a rude, sassy person

Richard Allen Jr. Looks Back on His Father’s Hall of Fame Induction

By Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

& BATTEN

The weekend of July 27 was a red-letter weekend for late baseball slugger Dick Allen and his family, friends, and supporters. But one person may have savored and enjoyed the weekend more than anyone else, and that was Allen’s son and namesake, Richard Allen Jr.

It was a time of triumph and reflection as he celebrated his late father’s big day. During the weekend, he got to rub elbows with a lot of baseball royalty. Many members of that royalty shared with Richard their memories of his father and what he meant to them.

I was able to persuade Richard to share with us his memories of that magical weekend. What follows are those memories.

“When I decided to choose my flight to Cooperstown. I thought to myself, I don’t want to rush around. I didn’t want to get up early and scramble to the airport. There was a 5:08 a.m.

flight. I wanted to get there comfortably. Well, I might as well have taken the 5:08 a.m. flight since I didn’t really sleep. I was awake at 5 a.m., waiting to catch a 12:15 p.m. flight, and I live less than 10 miles from Tampa International Airport. When I landed in Albany, NY, there was a driver waiting for me. I was told about golfing while in Cooperstown, so as we waited for my golf clubs, I got a poke in the ribs and a congratulations. It took a while, but it happened; it was Ozzie Smith. The driver tells me that when you get your clubs, we will be on our way. We left out of a side door exit. My clubs get loaded up, and I shared a ride with Alan Trammel and his wife Barbara. Both are very nice people. I got settled in and walked through the lobby.

“I saw a few people I know. I say hi to Tony Perez. My father told me that he played his entire career against him. I said that to Tony, and he said, ‘That’s right, we did.’” He said, ‘Me and your dad were like brothers, even though

we played on different teams.’ He said that his real name is, Antanasio. ‘Everyone called me Tony, but when I played against your dad, he would yell across the field, ‘Antanasio.’ “Later that evening, I was introduced to Wade Boggs. He said welcome to the family! Eddie Murray chatted with me as well. I had a few Heinekens in honor of my father. His choice of beer. We walked into town from the Otesaga Hotel the next day, and I was reintroduced to the Hemonds [Rollie Hemond was the former owner of the Chicago White Sox and was the owner at the time Dick Allen played for them], Jay and his sister. I forget her name. She reminded me when we took batting practice on the field, and she out-hit me! Roland Hemond’s kids. I was also reacquainted with several Chicago White Sox batboys who remembered me. I ran into Ray Burris. He looked good. He said he lost 30 pounds.

“As I am walking the streets. My family from California, Ohio, and Florida were there. I could barely take three steps without someone congratulating

me or telling me a story about my father. I shook a lot of hands and took a lot of pictures with people I didn’t know. I commented on a guy’s t-shirt. It was an image of my father. He said, ‘Do you want it?’ I said no, no, that’s OK. He takes it off, throws it at me, and walks away!

“My uncle, Ron Allen, and Ted Simmons exchanged laughs. There was a guy whose name I cannot remember; he was black. He looked as if he may have been black and Asian himself. His wife was Asian. He said he played with the Cardinals. He stopped to tell me something about my father. He got emotional and walked away. His wife said that he talks about your father all the time, and every time he talks about him, he gets emotional. He said he was a rookie, and your dad was larger than life! He said, ‘your dad sat next to me in the dugout and said, ‘I’m going to sit next to you, because you don’t say much!’ He said that he learned something from my father. He said, ‘your dad struck out, next at-bat each time he would sit down take his batting gloves off and just sit there.

Next at-bat homerun! He sat down, took his gloves off, as if it were nothing.’ He said he asked a question, I don’t remember the question, but he said my father’s answer was, ‘because I am going to strike out again.’ It must have been that he wasn’t overly excited about the HR. I told him that was one of the things my father told me. ‘Don’t be afraid to put that bat back in the rack.’ He wasn’t concerned with striking out. He would say it’s part of the game. Stand in there and take your cuts.

“I played golf with Fergie Jenkins and Billy Williams’ grandson. I also had a few words with Billy Williams. Johnny Bench shared a story with me, and he also shared a story that my father had about him. He said my dad tried to steal on him in spring training. ‘He threw me out by seven steps!’

“I was invited to the Chairman’s Dinner at Jane Forbes Clark’s (Chairman of the Hall of Fame) house and had the honor of meeting Ichiro and his wife. My son was really excited. He was talking with Johnny Bench. Introduced himself to Derek Jeter, as did I, and met Jack Morris. I talked with Lee Smith. Went to a private Phillies par-

ty, Mike Schmidt spoke very nicely of my dad. Movie producer Mike Tollin spoke very well of him also. The Phillies brought my dad’s retired number to Cooperstown. Jimmy Rollins attended along with other Phillies personnel. Long-time advocate of my father, Mark Carfagno, “frog.” He is the person who refused to quit and was also there. We took a picture in front of the plaque. I flew back to Tampa for two days and then flew to Philly for the Phillies Alumni Weekend and the mural dedication of my father.”

That Gun Ain’t the Only Thing Naked: Neeson & Co. in a Worthy Successor

Though not exactly a household name, the comedy team of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker — colloquially shortened to ZAZ — seems to have perfected the spoof movie genre with their uproarious Airplane! (1980) and three successful Naked Gun movies (1988-94).

Wikipedia points out that spoofs had been around since the days of silent film, generated over the years by such revered figures as Buster Keaton, the Marx Brothers and of course, Mel Brooks. But the uniquely corny, guileless, deadpan humor of the ZAZ formula felt somehow iconic — and kinda un-

repeatable.

Until now.

ZAZ was not involved in the brand-new Naked Gun reboot starring Liam Neeson; but the film nonetheless recaptures that team’s comedic glory: It is somehow almost mind-numbingly silly, yet at the same time, truly uproarious.

2025’s Naked Gun is more a sequel than a remake, with Neeson as the dim-witted supercop son of the similarly witless yet triumphant Frank Drebin — played by Leslie Nielsen in the original trilogy.

Neeson was certainly an inspired choice to

fill Nielsen’s shoes. The latter was “the Olivier of spoofs,” in the words of Roger Ebert; so it’s easy to forget that Nielsen got his start as a handsome leading man. He played, for example, Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion on TV — and a dashing, level-headed starship officer in my all-time favorite sci-fi movie, Forbidden Planet (1956) (And don’t forget, he was the captain in Poseidon Adventure too!)

But in Hollywood, serious actors often turn

to comedy in their later years (see De Niro, Clooney, Carell, Emma Thompson; and the reverse is common too — as with Robin Williams, Bill Murray & Tom Hanks). So, tapping action-hero Neeson to play a parody of himself was the right decision; it’s amazing how smoothly this well-known tough guy makes the transition.

The key, of course, is that he has to look as menacing as ever, while undergoing shenanigans like being disguised as a winsome schoolgirl, or losing his pants while hanging upside-down inside a pair of balls — er, New Year’s Eve globes, to be exact. He can never realize or admit how dumb he looks; and of course, he also has to solve the mystery and beat the baddies.

Neeson is joined by Pamela Anderson as

Joseph W. Smith III

the sister of an early murder victim; Paul Walter Hauser plays the son of George Kennedy’s franchise character; and in the nemesis role we have Danny Huston — real-life son of legendary Hollywood director John Huston (and thus also half-brother to Angelica).

But much of the Naked credit goes to director and co-writer Akiva Schaffer, who got his start with SNL sketches and here maintains a hustling & hilarious pace (the film runs a breezy 85 minutes). For every joke that flops, three or four work wonderfully — though I must warn Webb readers that there’s some exceptionally crude humor. Flirting with an R-rating, a good deal of Naked Gun is totally unsuited to kids and families. (Personally, I could do without

the X-ray-vision scene, which struck me as tasteless.)

On the upside, please do sit through the closing credits, where jokes are not merely inserted as clips or sounds, but actually written into the scrolls of jobs and names.

Now as I draw this encomium to a close, you may have noted that I didn’t talk about the plot, or trot out the funniest gags. That’s because I don’t want to spoil anything for prospective viewers; the jokes and surprises really deserve to work on their own.

Suffice it to say that, as with so many other reboots this summer (ahem, Superman, Fantastic Four), Gun will likely generate a bunch more sequels and maybe even spinoffs.

Let’s hope they’re half as funny as this.

was dwarfed to insignificance when compared to the spontaneous outburst that developed upon the issuance of the President’s proclamation.

Immediately following the Presidential announcement from the White House, Mayor Leo Williamson appeared on the microphone at WRAK radio station and read to the waiting thousands his proclamation for Williamsport.

As agreed in earlier plans, he called for a community assembly in front of City Hall one hour after the proclamation. The parade was delayed however, by heavy and unmanageable traffic so that it did not begin before 8:45 p.m.

For Williamsport and Lycoming County, the surrender of Japan meant the end of 44 months of warfare which started on the fate-

ful day of Dec. 7, 1941, when the Jap planes descended on Pearl Harbor.

It meant to the more than 9,000 men and women from this county who have been serving on every battle front of the global war may now anticipate ultimate release from the armed forces and return home.

An estimated 2,000 persons paraded along a route lined by about 25,000 residents.

Police estimated at 9:45 last night that another 10,000 had jammed their way within hearing distance of the hastily erected platform in the front of the municipal building.

It was from that platform that Williamsport gave formal expression to its thanksgiving, and there too, it paused in respectful tribute to the 305 men and one woman from Lycoming County now known to have died in World War II.

The Roving Sportsman… Clarification on Sunday Hunting In Pennsylvania

By Jon Pries

As I’ve talked to hunters over the last few weeks, there seems to be some confusion as to the implementation of the recently passed law removing the ban on Sunday hunting throughout Pennsylvania.

I reached out to the Pennsylvania Game Commission for a clear understanding of the new law and just when it is to be implemented. Here is how it stands.

A ban on Sunday hunting was one of the last remnants of “blue laws” in Pennsylvania, but new legislation ended the ban and brings more opportunities to hunters in the Commonwealth. House Bill 1431, introduced by Rep. Mandy Steele, D-Allegheny, fully repealed the ban on Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania and authorized the Pennsylvania Game Commission to provide additional Sunday hunting

opportunities. On July 9, 2025, Governor Josh Shapiro signed the bill into law as Act 36 of 2025. e Board of Commissioners postponed the July meeting to allow more time for public comment before discussion on adding new Sunday opportunities to the established 2025-2026 hunting seasons.

On July 28, 2025, the Board of Commissioners approved the following Sunday hunting dates for the 20252026 seasons:

All Sundays, beginning with September 14, 2025 and ending with (and including) December 7, 2025.

On these Sundays, any game that is in season may be hunted, with the exception of migratory game birds.

To hunt on private land on these Sundays, hunters must obtain written permission from the landowner.

So, there you have it. I hope this clari es any confusion as to the Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania in the upcoming 2025-2026 seasons.

In Pursuit of Bass

Bass fishing and, in fact, fishing in general this year has been a bit of a challenge. High and often muddy water, combined with high temperatures, has made some fishing trips more challenging.

rday September 7th 9 a.m.

I think I began to realize the effects of the warmer temperatures a few weeks ago when my wife and I struck out on a lake in search of crappies. In mid-summer, we fish deep, 10-20 feet of water, and locate schools of crappies, then drop small jigs into the schools, but few fish are interested in taking our offerings. Normally, we would do very well with this approach, but I believe the warmer water temperatures slowed the bite considerably.

A couple of weeks ago, my brother and I had a similar experience on the same lake; we fished deep, but strikes were few and far between.

That slow bite for crappies, however, didn’t end our fishing trip; we moved into about 4-6 feet of water with wood and rock structure and began fishing for bass. In a short time, we picked up a good number of largemouths and one smallmouth. Apparently, bass are a little more tolerant of warmer temperatures than the crappies.

When it comes to temperatures, bass, especially largemouths, seldom eat at water temperatures below 50 degrees. At temperatures between 68 degrees and 80 degrees, bass will feed heavily, but as tem-

peratures go above the 80-degree mark, feeding declines. Largemouths tend to be more tolerant of warmer water than the smallmouths.

Don’t let the warmer summer temperatures keep you from pursuing some bass fishing, however, but you may want to make some adjustments in times and presentations. To be honest, if I’m going after some largemouths in mid to late summer, I like to fish late in the day and even into the evening hours, or I would prefer an overcast day without the sun heating the water.

Some of my best largemouth bass fishing has been after sunset and into the evening hours, and a favorite presentation is some kind of surface lure. The good old Jitterbug is still a great choice, and when a bass smashes it wobbling across a glass smooth surface, I guarantee it will get your attention.

Other good surface lures are propbaits with props at one or both ends. Other good picks are chuggers with the concave face that creates a surface disturbance when popped. The stickbait with no lips and no props, when worked with a “walk the dog” technique or a right, left movement as it is worked across the surface, can also generate some exciting surface action. Even the floating type minnow lures like the Rebels and Rapalas, when left to sit a bit, then wiggled and then retrieved in a stop and go

fashion, will imitate a wounded minnow, bringing strikes.

Usually, when you’re after smallmouths, it’s likely to be in moving water where the oxygen levels are probably higher and the water temperatures possibly lower than in most lakes. Those same lures just mentioned will work here as well, usually in the quieter, deeper pools in rivers.

You may even want to work faster water that has rock or some type of structure that provides some protection from the fast currents, but here I’m likely to go to an assortment of soft plastic rigs. Carolina rigs, Texas rigs, and other soft plastics combined with leadhead jigs and tubes, grubs, and lizards are good choices. A Ned-rig worked slowly on the bottom is also a wise choice. Even though the water temperatures and

Over the many years traveling up and down Route 15, it would be impossible for me to count the countless times I have driven past Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland. Most times I drive by, I’ve noticed numerous cars in the parking lot and say to myself, ‘someday I’ve got to stop in., but I never have.

Ten miles to the north, on the busy highway, thousands of cars pass by Little League Baseball’s World Series complex daily. I would venture to say many of those drivers saw the Little League signage and thought ‘someday I’ve got to stop in,’ but never have!

Throughout Lycoming County and the surrounding area, the populous is aware of the influx of thousands of Little League fans who will be making a pilgrimage past these very same venues in the next twelve days — only they will stop and visit!

Since the advent of the Little League World Series in 1947, the end of August has put Williamsport on the world map. Despite my regard for statistical information, I have no idea how to calculate the number of area residents who may have thought ‘someday I’ve got to go there’ but never have. My guess is it is a significant number.

Any time a big event comes to any city or

Scott Lowery

town, there are disruptions that the locals complain about — too much traffic, crowded restaurants and bars, causing changes in daily routines. There are sure to be folks who remember that the popular Mark Restaurant, once located on the site of the current Dairy Queen in South Williamsport, would close during the World Series so as not to upset its regular customers.

For me, except for the years I spent in Texas at college and in the Air Force, the Little League World Series holds a very special place in my heart. Yes, I love baseball, but from the vantage spots I have viewed the spectacle (Little League’s Central Region Director, print media, and radio broadcasting since 2001), this Disneyland of youth baseball has provided memories and thrills that could fill several books if I took the time to write it all down.

While the ‘someday I’ve got to stop in’ crowd is real, the ‘I finally made it to Williamsport’ reality is an emotion that must be experienced and can’t properly be defined.

During my years on the Little League staff, one of my duties was to escort the Central Region champions from the regional site in the Midwest to Williamsport. Each of those trips was memorable in its own right, but

the 1975 regional champions from Davenport Southeast, Iowa,

The Regional Tournament was played in the small town of Baxter Springs, Kansas. In the championship game, Davenport was matched up against Tallmadge, Ohio, which at that time had made two trips to the World Series. The game was tied after the regulation six innings. Davenport pushed across a run in the top of the seventh and needed just three outs to head to Williamsport.

Just as the bottom of the seventh inning was to begin, I saw the left field umpire waving his arms, calling a timeout. He was talking with the Davenport left fielder. Then the two of them walked to the third base umpire. Then the trio walked to talk with the home plate umpire.

From the press box, I was concerned the player was ill. I walked to the screen behind home plate as the crowd grew concerned. I was told the boy wasn’t sick but had to go to the bathroom. The Tallmadge coaches were a bit agitated as I asked the league president to take the boy to the bathroom. What happened next was one of those “Ripley Believe It or Not” moments.

The president headed the player to the restroom, which was already filled to capacity, with a line out the door. Acting on the spur of the moment, the president took the player into the nearby tractor shed, closed the door, handed the boy a Pepsi-Cola cup, telling him, “Here, this is the best I can do.”

The player finished his business and ran back out to left field with a smile on his

face and the appreciative applause of the crowd. Three outs later, Davenport Little League was on its way to Williamsport.

On Sunday, excitement surrounded the team on its first day at the Series complex. On the morning of the second day, I visited the team in their cabin, and the mood was completely different. The team had been on the road for more than two weeks, and their coach, Don Crouch, had been informed by his employer that he had to be back at work on Tuesday. Very early that morning, Crouch had left to return to Iowa.

The team’s first game was Wednesday. As I entered their cabin to wish them well, I was greeted with laughter and excitement. Coach Crouch was back!

He explained that heading back to Iowa, the madder he got. Tuesday, he walked into work and told his boss he quit. He then went home, caught a plane, and returned to the World Series, getting there just a few hours before his team’s game.

Explaining his actions, he said he liked his job, but the World Series was a once-in-alifetime opportunity that he was not going to miss.

The Davenport team finished third in the 1975 World Series, and the fairytale had a happy ending for Crouch. The publicity back home resulted in several job offers coming his way!

So, for all you, ‘someday I’ve got to stop inners’ out there — take the time to do it. Coach Crouch would tell you it’s worth your time.

Sporting Matters With Spence…

Tickets Punched

Iwould personally like to congratulate the 20 teams that made it to Williamsport for the 2025 Little League World Series. This is my favorite time of year, as our lovely backyard provides the perfect backdrop to the greatest youth sporting events on the planet. I love the entire tournament, and I am looking forward to sharing many tales. I plan to head over to Lamade and Volunteer for some amazing action. Several terrific stories over the years. Jensen met Mone Davis. I got to hang with Bugsy and the Oregon boys on a plane. I tried catching a flyball from a kayak. I landed a monster smallmouth during the MLB Little League Classic. I went fishing with a kid from Utah. I also told you about the RADIO GUYS. Great stuff.

Jamie Spencer

I am a huge supporter and advocate of Little League Baseball. I am a proud graduate of the program. I played for Boulder Arrowhead in Billings, MT. We qualified for the State Tournament. I have my old jacket in the closet. My son Jensen also balled. He was part of the Hepburn-Lycoming All-Stars in 2021. The fighting Broccolis won many titles. That was a fun-filled summer. Our entire experience taught us a great deal. Yes. I will occasionally offer a different perspective. My

articles on USA BATs, PITCH COUNTS, and the MLB CLASSIC turned some heads. But I am one of Little League’s biggest fans. Hopefully, my many friends at International understand. Much love, mates. These next few days put us on the global stage. It’s a big deal, folks. Just last week in Yellowstone National Park. WHERE ARE YOU FROM? Williamsport, PA. NEVER HEARD OF IT.
