Gas Prices are Down Bad Driving is Up
Ahappy summer to everyone. There is so much good going on in our neck of the woods; we all need to find positivity and pass it on with a side of kindness. This especially holds true on the highways. I’m just putting this out there in the most straightforward way possible; everybody makes mistakes while driving. And yes, I know cell phones are the leading distraction. However, what’s most alarming to me is when I witness these mistakes and the reactions by some of the drivers who make them.
Think about the most dangerous encounters we all have while driving. It is when somebody cuts you off, runs through a yield or stop sign, turns left and cuts across traffic in front of you, turns the opposite way of what their turn signal is telling you, and crosses into your lane head-on. Or one I’ve seen way too much recently — someone avoiding a blockage in their lane to cross head-on into mine. And I’m not talking to avoid a possible crash, it’s usually just a delivery truck or construction work where there is no flag person.
We all can make a list of everyday occurrences that are annoying. These are usually the result of someone being
distracted while behind the wheel. I witnessed a lady on the Market Street Bridge that covers many of these. The light had turned green, yet the car just sat not moving; fortunately, there was no traffic, so I simply went around her. The driver had a cigarette in their left hand out the window, knees holding the steering wheel, cell phone in their right hand and a breakfast sandwich balanced on the dashboard.
I must mention a frustration heading down the same track but in the opposite lane. When the light just turns green, and the person behind you lays on the horn like you’re in a drag race and should have been off like a shot.
Now back to what’s most alarming regarding the driver who makes a mistake or is distracted. They scream at the other driver, who has done nothing and possibly avoided a crash by the quick reaction. They give the death stare as if to say, that was your fault, *expletive*. They give the one-finger salute, shake their fist, and by reading, lips say words that I don’t even know. Often, it’s a combination of all the above.
The much more worrisome actions are when somebody gets on your rear bumper like they’re drafting you in a NASCAR
race, rides directly next to you and will not allow you to pass, or, after pulling in front of your vehicle, slows down to 20 miles below the speed limit.
In today’s world gone mad, we never know what a person is thinking; we have all heard of incidents of road rage that end in violence. When I have read through reports of these incidents that have turned tragic, often the situation has been escalated by the reaction of a driver that was just minding their own business.
The person who was first at fault then takes the situation to a whole different level.
I log a lot of miles every year, and I make mistakes, and yes, sometimes I get distracted. I think if most drivers are honest, this just happens. The key and responsibility we all have are to limit the number of times it happens, thus reducing the opportunity for bad things to happen.
So, circling back around to applying kindness and positivity while driving. If I make a mistake or am distracted, I wave and mouth ‘I’m sorry’ to the other driver. It was my fault; I wear it. If the other driver responds to me angrily, I wear it; I deserve it. I consider myself fortunate that I wasn’t the cause of an accident and drive away.
Now to the much more difficult reaction. When somebody else crosses my driving path, and clearly, it was their mistake. Yes, I usually cuss to myself, then wave that left hand, smile, and mouth; ‘it’s OK.’ If they ignore me or behave like I mentioned earlier, I just continue on my way. Again, thanking God that I can just continue on my way.
My closing thought on this topic is about drivers who are under the influence, which can cover a wide variety of things compared to the days when it was mostly alcohol. I think we all have a responsibility to call 911 if we see anyone operating a motor vehicle in an unsafe manner. And I’m talking about when they are clearly driving erratically.
For those of you that may feel uncomfortable about this, just think about what could occur if you do not. There is also the possibility the person operating that vehicle may be having a medical emergency. It could be something as simple as a reaction to prescribed medication, a diabetic issue, or an allergic response. Again, I’m not talking about when someone crosses the dotted center line on I-180 a couple of times; this is when there is obviously a problem.
I hope I’ve provided something for you to think about as you’re driving, but please don’t let it be a distraction. As I often end my articles, let’s all be safe out there.
God Bless America.

Sleep and School: A Love Story with a Strict Bedtime
Iam not emotionally prepared to say goodbye to summer. e long days, the late nights, the obscene amount of ice cream I have ingested recently — it’s all been a dream. at said, reality (and algebra) is looming, and it might be time to start reeling in that “stay-up-till-2-a.m.watching-random-YouTube-videos” sleep schedule.
Let’s be honest: teens and tweens act like sleep is optional — like something they can pick up at the gas station when they feel like it. Meanwhile, science says otherwise. It turns out that staying up until the birds start chirping and then sleeping until noon isn’t a sustainable plan once that school bell starts ringing again.
– Teens: 8-10 hours (good luck with that)
And if your kid is getting fewer than six hours? According to a 2023 study out of Carnegie Mellon, that’s when things really start to unravel. ink: foggy brains, forgotten homework, GPA drop-o s, and using ketchup packets as a food group.
hours.
2. Wind ‘em down like a fancy clock. Trying to get a kid to sleep right a er a VR marathon is like trying to put a cat in a sweater — possible, but you’ll both end up crying. Instead, do calm things before bed: read a book, lay out clothes, silently question your life choices — whatever works.
3. Avoid bedtime brawls.
If your kid is in bed, reading quietly and not trying to start a dance party — let it be. ey’ll fall asleep eventually. Not every night needs to be a showdown at the NotOK Corral.
4. Make sleep sound appealing.
Nothing says “I don’t want to go to bed” like hearing your parents laugh at grownup jokes in the living room. Try to keep things low-key a er lights-out. Turn the TV down, talk in hushed tones, and avoid loudly unwrapping snacks unless you’re OK sharing.

According to researchers (and every parent who’s ever tried to wake up a teenager), school schedules and a teen’s natural sleep cycle go together like oil and water… or more accurately, like teenagers and mornings in general. Teens are biologically wired to be night owls — which is cute until the rst 7 a.m. bus stop sel e looks like a crime scene.
280 Kane St., Suite 2 South Williamsport, PA 17702
Still, kids of all ages need sleep. A lot of it. e American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends: – Ages 6-12: 9-12 hours of sleep (aka, more than most adults even dream about)
e science is clear: sleep helps the brain le away the important stu (like math equations and the lunchroom schedule) and toss the junk (like whatever TikTok trend peaked yesterday). Without enough shut-eye, the brain’s like a cluttered closet — no idea where anything is, but lots of yelling involved.
So how can parents help their kids ease back into a healthy sleep routine without full-on mutiny? Try these battle-tested, sanity-saving strategies:
1. Set a bedtime. Stick to it. Bribe if necessary.
A consistent bedtime helps reset those summer-fried sleep cycles. If your kid goes from staying up till 1 a.m. on weekends to a strict 9 p.m. on Sunday, you’re in for drama. Ease them back in slowly. Weekends can have some exibility — not full Vegas
Or, you can do it like we do in my house and put the adults to bed before it’s even totally dark out. Whichever makes your heart happy.
Bottom line: kids need sleep like parents need co ee — desperately and on a regular schedule. e better rested they are, the more likely they are to thrive in school (and maybe even remember to bring their lunchbox home). So yes, summer’s winding down — but if we play it right, bedtime battles don’t have to wind up. Now go hide the tablet and pretend you weren’t just watching TikToks until midnight.

Who Was “Rap” Dixon
By Lou Hunsinger Jr.
hen the River Valley Film Festival takes place later this week, it will feature a documentary about one of the Negro Leagues’ most notable and underappreciated stars, Herbert “Rap” Dixon. But who was “Rap” Dixon? He is considered one of the best former Negro League players not yet inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Dixon was born in Kingston, Georgia, in 1902 and moved north with his family to Steelton, Pennsylvania, just outside Harrisburg, shortly before World War I, during the “Great Migration.”
Even as a youth, he started to show the qualities of an outstanding baseball player. He initially started playing semi-professional baseball, but by 1922 had graduated to an independent professional team, the Harrisburg Giants, a team with which he would play through 1927.
Rap’s Harrisburg team became a member of the professional Eastern Colored League in 1924, where they would become one of the league’s standout teams. ey were beaten by the Hilldale Daisies in the league championship series in 1925.
Dixon joined an outstanding Giants outeld that included future Hall-of-Famer, Oscar Charleston, and future out elder,
“Fats” Jenkins. It is considered one of the greatest out elds of the Segregated Era, white or black.
His ne 1925 season made Dixon a star. New York Giants manager John McGraw told the press that winter that, “If that boy Dixon was not so black, I could make a Cuban out of him and the National League would have another star to talk about. He is, without question, one of the greatest out elders in the United States.”
During the next three winters, Dixon saw action with the Philadelphia Royal Giants in the highly regarded integrated California Winter League, where he did well.
In early 1927, the Royal Giants undertook a baseball tour of Japan, Korea, and the Hawaiian Islands. He made such a mark in Japan that he was presented with a loving cup by Emperor Hirohito.
During his stint with the Giants, Dixon and his teammates appeared in a professional baseball game at Bowman Field on April 29, 1927, when they took on the local professional nine, the Williamsport Grays. e Giants won the contest, and Rap Dixon blasted a triple in it.
A er the Harrisburg Giants disbanded in 1928, Dixon went to the Baltimore Black Sox, where he would enjoy two of his best seasons and help lead the Black Sox to a championship.
See RAP DIXON on Page 14
RAP DIXON
During his 1929 season with the Black Sox, he “rapped” out an astounding 14 consecutive hits. In one doubleheader, he had eight straight hits.
In 1930, he helped lead the Black Sox to the pennant. He batted .314 with 16 homers and 92 RBIs.
Also in 1930, Dixon and his teammates played the first ever Negro League game at Yankee Stadium against the Lincoln Giants. Dixon hit a mammoth home run against Bill Holland to highlight the contest. Some said the blast rivaled some of the prodigious pokes of the legendary Babe Ruth.
In 1931, he saw action with both Hilldale and the Black Sox.
In 1932, he rejoined old teammate Oscar Charleston when he joined the Pittsburgh Crawfords. That team featured an up-and-coming catcher named Josh Gibson.
The following year, he played with the independent Philadelphia Stars and had an outstanding season, being named to the first Negro League East-West Game at Comiskey Park in Chicago.
He spent his last seasons in the Negro Leagues, from 1934 to 1937, with the Baltimore Black Sox, Brooklyn Eagles, and Homestead Grays, enduring some injury-riddled seasons. He ended his playing career in 1937.
Dixon died on July 20, 1944.
He left a major mark on Black Baseball and was highly regarded.
When the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum announced its All-Century Team in 2020. The team of 30 players, a manager, and an owner was to honor the greatest Negro League players of all-time. Of the 19 position players on the team, only one was not already enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York — Herbert Alphonso “Rap” Dixon.
In 1949, the greatest of all Negro League outfielders, Oscar Charleston, was asked by a reporter from the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin for his all-time Negro League lineup. Charleston, whose career began before the Negro Leagues were organized and ended several years after their demise as a major league, offered his team. In the outfield, he placed future Hall of Famers Martin Dihigo in left and Cristobal Torriente in right … between that pair, at his old position of center field, he inserted Rap Dixon. High praise indeed for a lesser-known player among the pantheon of Negro League stars.
As you can see, Rap Dixon was quite a player, worthy of Hall of Fame induction. The Rap Dixon documentary, to be shown at this week’s film festival, should be quite fascinating, particularly for those interested in the feats of the unsung heroes of the Negro Leagues.

Jersey Shore Care and Share: Fighting Food Insecurity
By Dave Bellomo
In the Jersey Shore area, the amazing volunteers of the Jersey Shore Care and Share have been working tirelessly to ll this gap because they understand it is up to all of us to help our neighbors.
store and getting to the register, only to realize that you cannot a ord everything in your shopping cart. You then have the embarrassment of having to get out of a busy line to put things back. Or you live in the country, and you don’t drive either because you cannot a ord a car, or you have gotten to the point in your life where you are no longer able. e nearest grocery store is unreachable, and the only food source is a convenience store with over processed food and no fresh produce. Maybe you and your family are forced to skip breakfast or lunch because you can’t a ord food, and the only time your kids get three meals is when school is in session. Unfortunately, this is the reality for many of our friends and neighbors every day.
Jersey Shore Care and Share Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) non-pro t organization that provides food pantry and distribution services to those experiencing food insecurity or shortages to assist with proper nutrition and health. Located at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 229 Broad Street in Jersey Shore, the Jersey Shore Care and Share is supported by more than 25 local church congregations with a community-based spirit. eir motto, “God’s work, our hands,” is put into service for residents of the Jersey Shore community and surrounding areas.
Food insecurity can be de ned as a lack of access to food of su cient quantity or quality to meet a person’s basic nutritional needs. In Pennsylvania, well over 1.5 million people are routinely food insecure, including 436,000 children. at is, they lack access to consistent and nutritious food. Estimates may be low, however, as most people who experience food insecurity don’t show it and choose to su er in silence because they are too embarrassed to ask for help. Research has shown that a lack of consistent, nutritious food affects all aspects of life, including physical, mental, and social well-being.
Jersey Shore Care and Share o ers a drivethrough food pantry on the 2nd Friday of each month from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., usually rain or shine. In this type of distribution, individuals or their designated proxy can remain in their vehicles and drive through the distribution point to receive at least one box of shelf-stable items, meats, produce, breadstu s, and other items. Patrons can register on the day of the event when they enter the distribution line.
An additional feature now o ered to meet the request of some patrons is the pantry of choice option, held every Monday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. For this style of service, pa-

trons can walk through a designated area and select items, just like a supermarket. As with the drive-through, patrons can register on the day of the event.
e pantry has been very active in helping meet the needs of the community. For example, in May alone, the Jersey Shore Care and Share provided food parcels to 227 households via the drive-through program, assisting over 524 people with access to nutritious food items.
Jersey Shore Care and Share is an all-volunteer program with a board of directors for oversight. eir volunteers come from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences and are dedicated, local church congrega-
tion members, high school students, athletic teams, civic clubs, and community members with a desire to serve those in need. e ages of their volunteers range from teenagers to centenarians and ful ll a broad range of tasks during pantry operations, including o oading food items, packing distribution boxes, preparing and placing items into carts, and loading vehicles. Other individuals conduct registration, tra c control, and site support options. “ is is a worthy project for individuals who are looking to volunteer for a project that has tangible results,” said John Yingling, board member. “ e experience has allowed us to serve and to meet and build positive relationships with members of our
community.”
When asked how the community can help, Christine Barner, President of the Jersey Shore Care and Share, Inc. Board of Directors, stressed the importance of both monetary and material donations from individuals and groups to help sustain the operation. She is thankful that the organization has recently received the 501 c) (3) non-pro t status that will assist with grant program eligibility and other forms of project support. “We remain optimistic in our outlook to provide these services,” said Barner. “We are grateful for the many partners in the retail food and grocery business who support our operation.”
Christine also wished to note that individuals needing emergency food assistance can call either 570-916-1317 or 570-360-0178, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and
5 p.m.
Tax-deductible donations can be made out to the Jersey Shore Care and Share, Inc. and mailed to the organization at 229 Broad Street, Jersey Shore, PA 17740.
In addition to monetary donations, the pantry also greatly depends on donated food. Items being requested from the public for future distributions include: August-Pudding Cups (for the school backpack program) and September-Boxed Scalloped Potatoes.
e next drive-through food distributions for the Jersey Shore Care and Share pantry are:
– Friday, August 8 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
– Friday, September 12 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. For more information, please visit their website at https://jerseyshorecareandshare.com.

Captain Painter Heads Post No. 1
Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.
Post No. 1 of the American Legion held its first regular meeting last night at the YMCA auditorium at which time Carl Schug, the temporary president resigned because of political conditions and Captain Jackson M. Painter was unanimously elected to take his place. The meeting was called to order by President Schug and the minutes of the previous meeting were read by Lyell Spangle, secretary. Letters from Governor Sproul and Mayor Archibald Hoagland, the Board of Trade, the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club, all containing congratulations, were read. It was ordered by the Post
that all of the letters should be framed and spread upon the minutes and that copies of the resolution should be sent to those sending the letters. The appointment of James Herdic as publicity chairman, John Fisk as employment agent and Dr. R. W. Spencer in charge of the war risk insurance, was confirmed.
The report of Byron Houck who was a delegate to the first convention in St. Louis, was read by himself and was accepted. The use of the council chamber at City Hall was graciously granted by council through Mr. Houck.
The temporary charter, received from the state organization, was accepted at this time and group ordered that it be framed so that it may be preserved.

In the wake of the unimaginable loss of my beloved son, Dakota, who was taken from us far too soon in a tragic kayaking accident. I want to take this moment to extend my most heartfelt and sincere thanks to the many individuals who came together during our time of need.
The many fire departments, fish & boat commission, police, resource departments and individuals on and off duty. Many companies offered equipment and support, too many to list. I want to thank you for your selflessness and courage, it will never be forgotten.
I want to express my deepest and personal gratitude to Waterways Conservation officer, Charles Hunter Shoemaker of the PA Fish and Boat Commission. Officer Shoemaker communicated with me daily and was determined to bring Dakota home to us and give us closure, so we could lay him to rest. You never gave up and I will never forget you.
To everyone who took park in his rescue, you are all heroes.
With sincere gratitude, Heather MacGill and the family of Dakota MacGill

The Best Way to Find Joy is to Give it to Others
Hey all! I feel like I haven’t talked to you in a while. It’s been three weeks! Kenzy’s story took three weeks to share, and I got some cute feedback from it. I hope you all enjoyed it. I know it was kind of hard to read because she doesn’t understand when quoting people, you should add their name, like, “Hey, honey, please go get ready for bed,” Mom said.
But she wrote it to act out as a play, playing each part herself. For eleven years old, I really loved her creativity, and she will grow over time in her writing. I love that she loves to write, like me.
I’m not a big reader, but I can sit and write or post stories as a hobby. Especially stories that have happened throughout my life, or things that have meant a lot to me over the years. Most of you who know me know I am an open book. I don’t know if that is the journalist in me or what. I guess I have always been that way.
I put the phrase “journalist personality type” into a Google search just out of curiosity, and this is what it said: Journalists often exhibit personality traits associated with curiosity, social engagement, and a drive for truth and detail. They are frequently described as open-minded, adaptable, and skilled communicators.
Key personality traits often found in journalists: Openness: Journalists tend to be curious, imaginative, and value new experiences and perspectives. Extraversion: Many journalists thrive on social interaction and enjoy working with others.
Social Responsibility: Journalists often demonstrate a concern for fairness and a desire to inform the public responsibly.
Communication Skills: Strong writing, speaking, and listening skills are essential for gathering and disseminating information.
Many of these sounded like me. Especially the social interaction and speaking skills.
I’m typically not nervous about talking in front of crowds, and I can make friends pretty easily in a large group without knowing anyone. I love to share things that make me happy. I take a lot of pictures and videos. I enjoy sharing them on social media. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ll see that I often share my storyline.
Things I share are food, family, friends, my garden, our dog, our wildlife, lots of holiday things, funny, silly things, river days, cars, and other things.
You just never know what Andrea might share on a day to weekly basis, but the people love it.
Andrea’s Home Cookin’…
Andrea McElroy
I have had people tell me that it brings joy to their day and that I am one of their favorite social media accounts.
I like to post positive, upbeat things. I hate when people air their laundry and are so negative all the time. There are already so many sad things on the news and social media, why can’t we try to lift people up instead of bringing them down more?
I have many social media accounts that I love to follow, which bring me joy as I follow their lives as well. It’s amazing what a picture of a beautiful sunset or dahlia can do to your mood. Or, just to see kids happily playing in a sprinkler. I’m grateful God has joy in my heart that I can spread to others with my personality, writing, and social media accounts. I do have fun with Snapchat, but I only have about 40 people added, mostly close friends and family. However, you can follow me on Instagram for everything else at @andreascountryhomecooknfitness and watch my stories there. I try to post as often as I can because folks miss it if I don’t.
I always say I love what I do. I am so grateful to be able to share this life with you all and hope I can bring you joy with each story for your week.
Thank you for taking the time to read Kenzy’s story. Her dad felt like she made him sound kinda blah in the story. He really isn’t, haha. She also is NOT on her tablet as much as she seemed to be in her story. I said, “Kenz, why did you write about being on your tablet so much at the river, because you know you’re not allowed unless it rains or it’s bedtime?” She said, “Mom. It’s my story I made up, and in the story that’s what I wanted to do, along with swimming, making s’mores,
and riding my scooter!”
Well, I guess that’s the nice thing about writing: you can play make-believe and pour your heart out onto paper. You can be anyone you want to be. But in real life, she is not on her tablet that much on the river. We have been at the river for five days so far for vacation, and she has only been on it a little before bedtime. We keep very busy up there, swimming, floating, going on boat rides, having picnics at the beach, watching movies, playing games, and more. The days fly by, and we have had incredible weather. I’ve been sharing about our staycation as well, and the joy of being at the river brings me and our family. I hope you find joy in the little things. The best way to find joy is to give it to others!

County Hall Corner: High Waters and Higher Training to Deal with It
By Larry Stout
Last week’s “County Hall Corner” article was centered around the Greater Williamsport Levee System, which protects a large portion of the commercial area of our county from oods. Little did I realize when I was writing that article that there was a tremendous, horrible ood that would hit southern Texas, killing over 100 people, many of whom were children.
Floods basically come in two categories: slow-rising oods (which we o en expe-
rience in our area) and ash oods, where the water comes all at once. is is what happened in Texas on July 4th. Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the Guadalupe River, saw the water rise 26 feet in just 45 minutes. At least 28 children were drowned, and there are still 10 girls and one counselor missing, most probably drowned as well.
e good news, as such, was that over 850 people were rescued, thanks to extraordinary e orts involving helicopters, boats, drones, and more than 400 rst responders.
Preparation is what makes this happen,
VFD, located in Tioga County, just a few miles from the New York border.
As a (proud) member of the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company, I know how hard this team works for all the areas of responsibility, especially the seventeen miles of the Susquehanna River that our company covers. To complete a PA Water Rescue training requires areas such as awareness, boat ops, and ice rescue. And listening to my fellow re company members who have taken these requirement quali cations, it is not designed to be fun.
and Pennsylvania has also recognized this vital necessity when it established the Pennsylvania Voluntary Rescue Service Recognition (VRSR) program, which was o cially launched on March 1, 2009. It was prepared by the Emergency Health Services Council under contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the O ce of the State Fire Commissioner.
e emergency services that the VRSR program is to perform is for agriculture rescue, collapse rescue, con ned spare rescue, industrial rescue, transportation rescue (which includes planes, trains, and automobiles, and that is not from the movie of that name but the VRSR document itself), trench/cave-in rescue, water and ice rescue, and wilderness search and rescue.
But it is rewarding. I remember well my father getting up in the middle of the night to answer a re or accident call. He worked a full-time job and was a notary public in his spare time. But when that unbearably loud klaxon went o , my dad went o to the re company. When I returned to the Montgomery area in 2006, I found myself drawn to volunteer activities, and the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company was the one area I appreciated the most. Just being around these volunteers, males and females, is stimulating and encouraging.
In the 26 years since VRSR was established, only two re companies in the county, Williamsport’s Bureau of Fire and the Clinton Township VFD, have received certi cation. Clinton Township has trained in each of those eight areas. In the LST Region (Lycoming, Tioga, and Sullivan counties), there is just one more, Millerton
ose who have a heart and mind to help others should consider joining their local re company. Yes, many think they have no extra time, given that it is hard to make a decent living these days. However, when an emergency arises, we all expect the ambulance, the re department, or God forbid, the water rescue or recovery team to come and help. As John F. Kennedy so wonderfully stated, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
Anchors Aweigh, My Boys: “Weird Words” Looks at Sailing
By Joseph W. Smith III
Igrew up in Grand Island, NY—a well-populated, 33-square-mile isle in the Niagara River. (You likely drove across it on the NYS Thruway if you ever headed north to the falls.) For this reason, I spent much of my childhood in and around water—yet somehow, I never learned to sail.
Which is ironic, considering how many of my favorite authors write about the sea (Robb White, Alistair MacLean, Hammond Innes, Randy Wayne White). So even if I
can’t rig a mainsail, I can navigate the terminology.
The vocab of sailing often involves common words that turn out to mean something different on deck. Summer 2025 marks not only watercraft season in Central PA, but also the 50th anniversary of the boat-heavy Jaws; so in honor of those two occasions, here’s a handful of ordinary words that have a special meaning for sailors.
Beam – Generally speaking, the width of the vessel at its widest point.
Boom – Horizontal spar used to extend
the bottom of a sail (though it also serves other functions).
Bow – The very front of a boat—pronounced like “cow.” Its antonym is stern.
Bridge – On larger vessels, an upper-deck structure serving as command center for the crew. This term has been transferred to spaceships like the Enterprise, where protocol tends to follow naval tradition.
Draft – “The depth to which a vessel is immersed when bearing a given load” (Dictionary.com).
long. In boating, the keel is the lower hull, often with a narrow downward projection providing stability. If that underwater-part ever winds up on top, the boat has “keeled over”—which is where we get our more common usage.
And if you ever think “the pirate life’s for me!”, look up keelhaul. Then take a deep breath—and watch for barnacles!
Painter – “A line used for securing or towing a boat” (Merriam-Webster); this seagoing sense is not related to artists but rather to the Latin base pend, meaning “to hang” (e.g., suspend, pendant, pendulum).
Port – The left side of a ship when facing forward; its antonym is starboard. (To remember this, note that both port and left have four letters and end with T.)
Administrative Assistant: Immediate need for part time person with an opportunity to become full time. Need for 30 hours to start. Variety of duties including sales paperwork, social media, operational assistance, safety, customer relations. Important piece of our daily business. For more information call or email.
Driver / Van Foreman – Fulltime position: Load & Deliver household goods. Lead your crew, provide excellent customer service. Start tomorrow!!
CDL -B helpful but not required. We will train.
Benefits: Guaranteed hours on days worked, generous per diem if travel, medical or stipend, your choice, PTO, paid holidays, group life and STL. Pass Allied safety application, pass DOT physical and drug test.
Packer – Part time: Pack fragile and valuable items. Work directly with customer preparing for their move. Attention to detail and effi ciency. Available ASAP.
Flemish – In Jaws, the hardened boatman Quint (Robert Shaw) gauges Hooper’s seamanship by making him tie a complex knot; that’s because sailors must “learn the ropes” (which is where we get the idiom). Sometimes, this involves carefully looping loose rope into a tidy coil on deck or dock. That’s called “flemishing”—from the legendary nautical skills of Flemish sailors (eOceanic.com).
Fore – Toward the front of the ship. Shortened from before, this word has the natural antonym aft (“Take that painter aft, sailor!”).
Jibe – In normal usage, this means “to be in harmony” (“Our theories jibed”). It’s also an alternate spelling for gibe (to mock, jeer, scoff).
But in sailing, jibe means turning the stern so it “passes through an imaginary line to where the wind comes from,” causing the craft to point “dead downwind.” Its antonym—for turning the bow through a headwind—is called tacking (NauticEd. com).
Keel – As a verb, we generally use this with “over”—in which case it means to fall head-
Common sense required. We will teach packing techniques. Additional hours are available if you wish to work as a helper loading trucks. Comfortable driving a small van.

According to NOAA, the term starboard is based not on the sky but on steer, from the days of using an oar for this action; since most sailors are right-handed, the “steering oar” was toward the right, so it was easier to unload a ship on the left—that is, the “port side. ”
Reef – Of course this already has a sea-related sense—namely, a ridge of coral, rock or sand in the water. On a boat deck, however, it’s a portion of a sail rolled and tied to lessen the area exposed to wind; also a verb for creating this (American Heritage). Shrouds – Ropes running from a mast to the side of the ship. A similar rope running fore and aft is called a stay
– My thanks to NauticEd.org for much of this info. That fine site has many other terms used exclusively for boating (e.g., halyard, abaft, coxswain); perhaps we can look at those next time.

Transforming Grace and the Mission of God
The Mission of God refers to advancing the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. It is the missional mandate for every follower of Jesus Christ: en Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. erefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
(Matthew 28:18–20)
Paul described the mission of God as the ministry of reconciliation:
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against
them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. (2 Corinthians 5:18–20) We are not just disciples; we are missional disciples. God redeems, transforms, and equips us so we can advance his mission. Preparing for and serving in the mission of God transforms infant believers into mature missional disciples. See Ephesians 4:14-16.
It’s Time to Get in the Game
If you want to experience the transformational grace available through the mission of God, then you’ve got to leave the bleachers.
Going to football games will not transform you into a football player. If that’s the goal, you must report to the coach and let him know you’re ready to join the team. He will evaluate your physical condition and start you on a conditioning regimen. You won’t like it. It will cause your muscles to burn and cramp. You will be tired and sore. But if you choose to submit to the training,

you will get faster and stronger. en, the coach will evaluate your body type and natural abilities. e coach’s job is to nd the right place for you to help the team advance the mission of winning a championship.
When your position is determined, the coach will require you to study the playbook so you’ll know your exact assignment for every play. He’ll have you watch videos of the other team to learn their strategies and discover their weaknesses.
Now, take a look in the mirror. Your decision to leave the bleachers has transformed you into a football player. It was hard work, and took time and sacri ce, but it was worth it.
e same is true for becoming a missional disciple. If you want to be transformed, you must leave the pews and get into the game. It won’t be easy. You will sometimes question your decision. But if you put in the work and remain faithful in the little things, you will hear the Master say:
“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” (Matthew 25:21).

so that others could learn about the Jesus who had saved his life. His first job was serving as a greeter on Sunday mornings. He took his role seriously, and God began transforming him. He was a natural at helping people feel welcome and got to know quite a few men. I then invited him to lead a men’s small group. He was nervous about the opportunity but decided to stretch beyond his comfort zone. He did a great job, so I invited him to teach an adult class. Being faithful in the little things also led Glen to serving on the church board and the building committee. He even helped to lead worship and preached to the entire church on several occasions. Glen always served humbly and faithfully.
Do you see the connection? Over the course of ten years, Glen grew from an infant believer to a mature, trusted, and influential leader, and much of that transformation was fueled by his willingness to leave the pews and get into the mission.
Are you ready to get in the mission? If so, here are four steps you can take: First, schedule an appointment with your pastor or a ministry leader and let them know you are ready to serve. You do not need to know your spiritual gifts to take this step, nor do you need to be an expert in the Bible. You don’t
even need to be a long-term Christian. All you need is the desire to serve and the willingness to learn.
Second, serve with excellence. Whatever opportunity you are given, do it wholeheartedly and give it your best. Being faithful in little things demonstrates to God and your leaders that you can be trusted with more responsibility.
Third, be open to opportunities to rise to greater responsibility and influence. You may feel inadequate, and that’s okay. Stepping out of your comfort zone will force you to rely more heavily on your spiritual disciplines. Be assured, God will continue transforming you until you mature and attain the full measure of Jesus Christ. Finally, don’t ever forget that grace is what pulls you upward. Forgetting about grace is a mistake too many good men make. As you gain elevation, keep your focus. Don’t let religious pride sneak into your heart. The law of gravity reminds you that the higher you go, the greater the risk. Don’t ever stop relying on the power of the Word, prayer, Spirit, Body, and mission. Through these sources of transformational and empowering grace, God has raised you, and if you choose to rely on grace as you humbly serve in the mission of God, you will never fall and suffer ruin.

Cinema ’75: From “Jaws”
Nest” … and Beyond
“Fifty Years Ago in Film.”
That’s the title of a talk I’ll give on July 31 at the James V. Brown Library. Needless to say, for movie-lovers in that hallowed era, it was a very good year indeed.
1975’s vast and varied cinematic landscape is marked by two watershed events: First, Jaws became the highest-grossing movie up to that year, single-handedly establishing the phenomenon of a “summer blockbuster.” At the same time, it introduced the world to a young Steven
Spielberg, whose output till then had been limited to the largely overlooked Sugarland Express and a terrific little TV movie called Duel — with Dennis Weaver battling a lunatic trucker over lonely desert roads.
Jaws went on to spawn three sequels and a seemingly ceaseless sea of shark-movie imitators — though nothing has matched its raw terror, or its flawless melding of all the elements that make a great film.
Meanwhile, the second-highest-grossing movie that year — One Flew Over
the Cuckoo’s Nest — notched a similarly impressive distinction: It was only the second film ever to win all five top Oscars: picture, director, screenplay, actor and actress. (One additional film has done it since — for a total of three; can you name the other two?)
The year’s top 10 were rounded out by Shampoo, Dog Day Afternoon, The Return of the Pink Panther, Three Days of the Condor, Funny Lady, The Other Side of the Mountain and the rock-opera Tommy.
But that’s only seven — because I left out the third-highest grosser from 1975. Can you guess it? Are you shivering with anticip … ation?
OK, so some of you got it: the cult-fave Rocky Horror Picture Show, raking in a then-startling $50 million — though Dr. Frank-N-Furter proved so enduring that the movie’s total haul now stands at $116 million (per Boxofficemojo).
Man Who Would Be King — along with cult-fave nuggets The Great Waldo Pepper, Night Moves and of course, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
But one 1975 title has somehow managed to achieve both critical plaudits and cult status.
That would be Robert Altman’s Nashville — the star-studded, Oscar-winning, 160-minute musical satire that is generally considered the director’s greatest work. Though it didn’t land in the top 10 at the box-office, Nashville remains the movie with the most-ever Golden Globe nominations (11) — and it bears a cool connection to one fellow-film that year:

Come prepared to bid and make this scenic, retreat yours!
In future columns I’ll talk more about some of these individual titles — especially that fourth Pink Panther film, a personal favorite that revived a dying franchise. For now, we can note that 1975 likewise offered such critical darlings as Swept Away, Picnic at Hanging Rock and The
Nashville nailed a rare two supporting actress noms for a single film: Ronee Blakely and Lily Tomlin, the latter receiving widespread praise for her role as a mom with a pair of deaf children. Cuckoo’s Nest Best Actress Louise Fletcher famously used sign language in her Oscar-acceptance speech — thanking her parents, who were both deaf. As it turns out, Tomlin had actually been hired for the role Fletcher eventually played (the evil Nurse Ratched); but Lily lost to Louise after Cuckoo’s Nest director Milos Forman saw the latter in a movie called Thieves Like Us. And the director of that 1974 film?
Robert Altman.
Clearly, there is lots more to cover from 1975; so we’ll do that here in the next two weeks — and at my talk! Registration starts Thursday at jvbrown.edu.

Nautical Jewelry and Peasant Blouses
Is the beach your happy place? Do you enjoy frolicking in meadows?
Are you having a “sardine girl” summer? Are you sick of all of your tank tops and t-shirts already this season? Does your style need a mid-summer reboot? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then let’s talk about two slightly opposing, but surprisingly refreshing trends. Both nautical jewelry and peasant blouses are having moments this season.
First, seashore-inspired trinkets. If you’re not by the sea, then nautical jewelry is an unexpected way to tap into those beachy vibes. And if you have an upcoming beach vacay, then add “picking up a few on-theme accessories” to your trip preparation to-dos.
Now, you may already have some seashell-inspired earrings and necklaces or have come across rope-like bracelets and anchor rings in some thri store shopping. However, if you’re in dire need of budget-friendly nautical pieces, there’s Revolve’s Aqua Star sh Earrings online for $25. ese gold-tone metal star sh studs are delicate and subtle and can make a cute seaside statement when worn with Bermuda shorts and a striped tee. Revolve also features Shell Earrings for $23, which are gold-plated
and can complement a dramatic look, such as a owing maxi dress or ca an. If bracelets are more of your style and you’re looking for something eclectic, then there’s Free People’s Rollins Bracelet in pink, seafoam, or yellow. is corded bracelet features a mix of seaside-inspired beads and braided textiles. Consider pairing it with the brand’s Ariana Ost Deep Sea Anklet for a major beachy boho look when worn with jean shorts, a button-down, and sandals. For something with a bit more impact that boldly embraces the nautical jewelry trend, check out J.Crew Factory’s Nautical Charm Bracelet. Complete with shells, pearls, and a cute sh charm, style this bracelet with a simple white linen dress and cork wedges for an evening of strolling the boardwalk or a summer date night.
Tread lightly with nautical accessories; you can (pun intended) go overboard quite easily, so stick to one or two pieces at most in your look. If your seaside jewelry verges on campy or kitschy, you may want to scale back the rest of your look. And, while nautical jewelry is right on brand for a seaside or boat trip, most of these pieces should not be worn in the water. For waterproof jewelry that’s not necessarily beachy, but more
so minimalist, check out the brand
Ana Luisa. Full disclosure: I have several pieces from this brand that I haven’t taken swimming, but they o er a variety of rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets that are advertised as waterproof, accompanied by a 2-year guarantee included with the purchase.
Next up, peasant blouses. By midsummer, guring out what kind of top to pair with seasonal bottoms, such as circle skirts, cargo shorts, and linen trousers, can be a challenge. For me, at this time of year, I’m kind of sick of classic t-shirts and prefer more coverage at times than tank tops serve. Peasant blouses have a summery aesthetic and can also elevate your warm-weather basics.
Peasant blouses traditionally have been high-necked with folksy embroidery and loose sleeves. More modern features include ru es, patterns, lace, and even cropped silhouettes. For summer, you’ll want a light, airy version in breathable fabric like Boot Barn’s Cleo + Wolf Women’s Christopher Solid Peasant Top. is rayon blouse can liven up
your everyday look of a top and jeans, or blouse and skirt, while also being easy and comfortable to wear.
If you’re ready to embrace the bohemian side of this trend with wide-open arms, then check out Natural Life’s full range of shirts and blouses. eir Sierra Ru e Mesh Top comes in either a blue patchwork pattern or a green painterly vines print, featuring the classic peasant full-sleeve design with a romantic ru e trim. is deep V-necked top begs to be paired with laidback linen drawstring pants or a loose- t jogger.
Normally, I would not recommend wearing both nautical jewelry and a peasant blouse, as their aesthetics can be quite disparate. A statement piece like Sleneichast’s Seabeach Boho Chic Necklace worn with Easy Clothes’ Ecru and Blue Embroidered Salome Blouse feels way over the top. However, the right shirt, such as Kohl’s LC Lauren Conrad Henley Pu Sleeve Peasant Top in a blue-and-white stripe, begs to be styled with a nautical piece, like Kiel James Patrick’s Anchor Pearlfection Bracelet. And a corded or “ sherman” rope bracelet can play towards the rustic feel of a rough-hewn shirt like Lovestitch’s Set Free Cropped Peasant top in black or stone. So, I stand somewhat corrected; you can mix peasant blouses with nautical jewelry, but style them with a light touch.

The Roving Sportsman… The Lowly Groundhog
By Jon Pries
Young groundhogs, like the young of any specie, are cute. But they quickly grow out of their “cute” stage and before long are spreading their wings and traveling to new locations, where they will burrow holes as entryways to their dens.
All too often, these holes are a problem — either in open fields or pastures
where they could cause a cow or a horse to break a leg or damage farm machinery, or they are dug in against the foundation of a farm building, thus weakening the structure. For these reasons, farmers don’t much care for them.
The groundhog (Marmota monax), is a rodent, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. Monax was a Native American name for the woodchuck, which
means “the digger.”
Their average adult weight is 13 pounds, and their diet consists mostly of grasses and other vegetation, along with the occasional insect or nut. Instead of storing food, groundhogs stuff themselves, increasing their fat deposits to survive the winter months.
When surveying 11 burrows, it was found that the longest burrow was 24 feet and the average amount of earth moved to create the tunnels was about 4 bushels, weighing 384 pounds! These burrows usually have 2 to 5 entrances, providing groundhogs their primary means of escape from predators.

Breeding occurs from early March to mid- or late April and the gestation period is 31-32 days. One litter produced annually usually yields 2-6 blind, hairless and helpless young. Once their hair is grown and they can see, they are introduced to the wild and by late August, the family breaks up and the young scatter to burrow on their own. Aside from the popularity of the wellknown groundhog “Punxsutawney Phil,” the average woodchuck that occupies the countryside is not very well thought of by most folks. And that is where we as hunters and sportsmen come in as perhaps the best means of

controlling their numbers and reducing some of the damage they can do. So what are the regulations regarding hunting this small game animal? Yes, they are classified as a small game animal. Statewide, there is no limit and there is no closed season and they can be hunted on Sundays as well, except during regular firearms deer seasons when hunting them on Sundays is prohibited.
Fortunately, they are one of the species that are legal to hunt under the Mentored Youth Hunting Program and, as such, are an ideal “target” animal in that it is easy to comply with the various safety and liability requirements that must be met by the Mentor and the youth. Further, they are one of the species that are legal to hunt under the Mentored Adult Hunting Program.
A first step in hunting groundhogs is securing several locations where they can be hunted and obtaining permission from the various landowners to do so. Farmers will generally welcome someone who wants to help them eliminate these pests, and are usually particularly receptive when a youth hunter is accompanying an adult. When seeking permission to hunt, it would be helpful to ask if there are any chores that the farmer might like your
help with to complete, or once permission is granted, return with some homemade cookies or a freshly baked pie! Now you have really “sealed the deal” and may have even set yourself up for an invitation to return during deer season or spring gobbler season!
Choice of weapons is always open to discussion and subject to a variety of answers. I know a very avid bowhunter who would never use a rifle and has taken literally hundreds of groundhogs with his bow over the years. Generally among rifle shooters, a smaller and higher velocity caliber such as the .223, .22-250 or 220 Swift are ideal. Larger calibers, such as the .308, are also used frequently. Perhaps more important is topping your rifle with the highest quality and highest power optics you can afford, keeping in mind that a variable scope is usually ideal as shot opportunities can be close in, but more often might be several hundred yards away.
Whether you call them groundhogs, woodchucks or whistlepigs, these large ground varmints provide an excellent opportunity to sharpen your hunting and shooting skills over the summer months, particularly after farmers have harvested their hay and alfalfa fields. Remember to always positively identify your target — and beyond.
couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were headed down some back roads on our way to the Bloomsburg area. I asked her to drive so I could concentrate on scanning the woods and elds for whatever wild game I can see.
Ken Hunter
We were only a few miles from home when we spotted a hen and her poults at the top of a steep bank, and there appeared to be four or ve poults with the hen. at was my rst sighting of young turkey poults this year, and I’m certainly hoping to spot some more young birds as we move into summer.
Unfortunately, young turkey poults are easy game for predators, and their main defense against predation is to hide. ey
will scatter and freeze at the hen’s warning call, and they will remain motionless until the hen gives the all-clear signal. In some cases, a hen may even feign an injury in order to lure any attackers away from her poults. By the time poults reach about six weeks of age, they have become fairly strong iers, and by fall, they are pretty much self-su cient. ose new birds of the year can easily be identied by looking at the tail feathers; the middle tail feathers are longer than the other tail feathers.
Spotting new young turkey poults is not only something us turkey hunting enthusiasts do every spring, but it’s also something Game Commission biologists are very involved in each
spring. Again this year, the Annual Pennsylvania Wild Turkey Sight Survey is underway from July 1 through August 31. e data that the commission is able to collect will allow the agency to help determine our total wild turkey productivity, and it will help to track population trends. If you spot turkeys and poults, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is asking you to report those sightings, including how many poults and any adult turkeys you saw. Along with that, the commission would also like to know the county, township, and WMU where your sighting occurred. In addition to that information, you are also asked to drop a “pin” on a map pointing out the location of the sighting. While the Game Commission will study and possibly tag those birds, they will not be removed from where they were spotted. All of this information can be reported on the Game Commis-
sion website at https://pgcforms. pa.gov/TurkeySightingSurvey.
It is hoped, of course, that all of this information will help the commission better manage our wild turkey population. Some of the information thus far has revealed that last year, 3.2 poults per hen were reported, and in 2022 and 2021, 3.1 poults per hen were also reported. ose are interesting gures since it is believed that two poults per hen is considered adequate to replace adult mortality.
As usual, the number of turkeys may be up in some areas of the state but down in other areas. ere are several factors that can a ect turkey numbers, including weather, loss of suitable habitat, and predation.
In the meantime, it appears that our turkey numbers are generally holding their own, and hopefully, we will have some good numbers of wild turkeys roaming the woods come this fall.
Fly Control That Sets The Bar at all Levels!
Time flies. The older one gets, the faster things appear to spin around you. For me, the time between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July annually seems to go by in the blink of an eye. Memorial Day signals that the uncertainty of spring is finally heading toward the warmth of summer. Then, before you know it, the fireworks launch skyward, and stores are touting ‘back-toschool’ merchandise.
The MLB All-Star Game festivities began on Sunday, and NFL training camps open their doors later this week. Locally, the excitement of All-Star baseball and softball tournaments has concluded with some local teams advancing up the tournament ladder. Preparations are well underway for the Little League Baseball World Series, August 13-24, the earliest possible start date for the small fry classic.
Each year, the LLWS start date is tied to the Labor Day holiday. Little League organizers did not want the Series to run into Labor Day weekend, so the schedule is set to conclude the weekend before the holiday. This year, Labor Day falls on September 1, pushing the Series to the early start date.
Having spent many years serving as
Little League’s Central Region Director, the excitement leading up to the various team arrivals in Williamsport has provided wonderful memories. Although there were a few duds along the way, the dedication of the coaches and support of the team’s fans made it special every year. Regardless of how many times the journey was traveled, each one provided unique experiences.
The coaching staff of some teams arriving for the World Series has been led by veteran coaches who have been serving the local community for years and have no youngsters on the team. Other times, the coaches may all be fathers of players on the team, who have caught ‘lightning in a bottle’ in just a few seasons in the dugout.
Like so many other youth volunteers, my Little League coaching career began when my son, Doug, was nine. I was asked to coach a team and enjoyed that father/ son experience. Our team did quite well, winning some league championships. His 12-year-old year, we were engaged in a best-of-three playoff series for the league crown, which we lost in an exciting third game.
As the home team that evening, we were responsible for cleanup and putting
everything away. As those chores were completed, darkness was setting in as father & son talked about the defeat and the time we spent together on the Little League field. He would be moving on to Junior League the next season, and I received a chance to coach in the division.
I told him I thought he would benefit from the experience of playing for someone else, and I would be staying at the Little League level.
It was then I learned a lesson I have never forgotten.
He looked at me, with tears in his eyes, saying, “Dad, you were harder on me than any of the other kids on the team.”
My first reaction was disbelief; how could
that be? We had a good team, and the players all got along well.
Then, as I gave it more thought in the days ahead, I realized, like so many other parent coaches before and after me, blood is truly thicker than water. It is only natural to want your own child to excel. While a parent or coach may treat all their players well, it is human nature to have one eye on your child while the other eye focuses on the remaining team players.
I have coached sports every season since then, but have never forgotten that lesson taught by my son. I’ve repeated its logic to others in similar situations several times since. Some have understood.
Youth sports are dependent upon
volunteers for their existence in all areas of operation, but none more critical than coaches. However, just like parenting itself, until it is experienced, no one is truly prepared for what is to come. While competition in sports exists on the playing field, there is sometimes another type of competition taking place between the coach and the parent, centering around the child’s playing time or position.
Reading a recent article in USA Today, former MLB player Tom Gordon revealed his thoughts on parental involvement in youth sports.
“Let it be about them and be motivated to help them the best way possible. Remind them that nothing comes easy, and they
are going to encounter some tough times.
“Be willing to allow your coach to coach your child. Then sit back in the stands and observe and watch the process. The toughest thing for a parent is when a coach changes your child’s position, and you don’t think that’s the right way. However, you are looking at it from a parent’s perspective outside, and the coach is looking at it from his/her team perspective.”
Whatever your role in sports may be, coach, parent, or player, there are three things each can control: your preparation, your attitude, and your emotions. All three add up to the best possible enjoyment sports can provide.

legendary. We sometimes call them Bronzebacks. They are very popular and extra fun to catch. The Smallmouth fishing in North Central PA is fantastic. The Susquehanna is loaded, but I prefer to spend my time on Lycoming. Sometimes I will even venture over to the Loyalsock. My man, Dave Heaps, was going to do some research.
here is no need to travel, as we are extremely spoiled. Yes. I do 95% of my fishing right here in Lycoming County. Some of my favorite spots are a short drive from the homestead. July is when I completely change my setup. I focus more on the summer Smallmouth. The water temperatures are up, and the conditions are no longer ideal for trout.
I replaced my waders with a pair of shorts. I have some new wading shoes that I found at Walmart. I go back to my trusty spinning gear. I use an ultralight rod with 4 lb. test. My friends will still use a fly rod, but I am not quite there. It is a different animal when you are throwing bugs for bass. It is the perfect time to target the Smallmouth. Pound for pound, these guys are the fiercest game fish. They are the top local prize. Their strength and might are
Smallmouths are very carnivorous. They feed on tadpoles, insects, other fish, and especially crayfish. They can adapt to sudden changes. These fish are super tough and are more versatile than those trout. They are known for their above-the-water dramatics. Smallmouths are extremely aggressive and put up a fight. They have a slender, long body that is green to bronze in color. Their jaw reaches the middle of their red eyes. Smallmouths prefer clear, rocky habitats in lakes, impoundments, and small

to medium-sized streams and rivers. Bronzebacks are always on the move. It is said that one may travel 30 miles during the year. ey will migrate to nd deeper waters to “chill” during the winter. ey become much more active in the spring. Smallmouths tend to spawn in April and May. ey will head back to the creeks in the summer. Perfect timing. You will nd them in faster- owing sections with gravel or rubble bottoms, as well as in deeper pools with current.
Smallmouths can be caught using a variety of methods. Anglers have several options. Natural baits like worms, minnows, and hellgrammites will always work. Some prefer jigs and plastics. Others throw expensive crankbaits. I am a huge fan of the topwater plugs. I use a lot of Heddon Torpedoes. ese oating props mimic a distressed bait sh or a wounded frog. Regardless of what you throw.
