A Green and White Run to Gold

By Jim Webb Jr.

It’s been a great scholastic sports season, when we’re still talking about state championships after graduation. As I’m penning this article, the Montoursville Warrior baseball team is still alive and in the ﬁnal four in the 4A division. Good luck to Manager Jeremy Eck and all his Warriors; hopefully, the next time I talk to you, they have gold medals hanging around their necks.

There is no better way for an athlete to end their senior season than with a PIAA run to a gold medal. This is exactly what the Hughesville boys’ 3200 relay team accomplished a couple of weeks back. A Webb Weekly tip of the cap with the American ag on the side to Spartan seniors Tyce Shaner, Carter Sherwood, and Tristan Kurzawa, who teamed up with sophomore Patrick Stine to pass the baton for

gold in their ﬁnal race of the season. I understand the hard work those seniors put in during their careers, and what a way to close things out. That wasn’t the only golden legacy left on the walls within the East Lycoming School District.

The Hughesville girls doubled up on relay gold. irst up, Kylie Temple, Grace ortin, Katelyn Temple, and Emelia Wolfe won Hughesville’s ﬁrst girl power relay team gold in the relay at Shippensburg. And yes, the Temple girls are sisters if you were wondering. What an athlete Kylie Temple has

proved to be. The senior had won state gold in the past and made sure the Spartans didn’t relinquish their top seed in the 3200. No matter what event she competed in, you just had the feeling she could win. er sister Katelyn, a junior, will continue the Temple’s athletic prowess next year. Grace Fortin, also a senior, looked good in gold, as did freshman Emelia Wolfe. What a way to start your varsity career.

Senior Sierra DeWire moved her tassel from one side of her cap to the other, knowing she would always be a state champion.

Next up on the golden double dip was the 400-relay team. Again, anchored by sisters Kylie and Katelyn. reshman Casey Schultz showed some more ﬁrepower coming from that class of 2029. And

A ﬁnal tip of the cap with the American ag on the side, and congratulations to Spartan Coaches ick Glenwright and Gri n Molino, who coach both the boys and girls. They ﬁnished second overall on the girls’ side in their quest for a team state title. Gri n has now been in the Webb Weekly winning a PIAA gold as an athlete and twice as a head coach, which is another great accomplishment worth noting. Let’s all be safe out there, eyes to the skies, and cell phones down. God Bless America.

Did You Miss Me?

The last time I took an entire week oﬀ work was in . So I made sure to really enjoy my time oﬀ But it is nice to be home too. I really missed my dogs and kitties and my bed immy was nice enough to stop by and see my cats while we were gone, and Wolf un et took great care of the puppers. I think they are both still a little mad that they no longer have a doggy door to go outside whenever they want.

I also want to say thank you again to aimie, Wes, and oe for covering for me while I was gone They all did an amazing job, and I am super appreciative of the help.

So what did y’all do while I was gone Did anyone make that chicken marinade I did, and it was amazing recommend I think it’s going to be great for the summer. I think it will be really good to refrigerate and then use it on salads and wraps.

The kids are out of school, and summer has o cially kicked oﬀ I’m thrilled to get some warm sunny weather ﬁnally emember to travel safely especially now that school is out. Kids aren’t always great at paying attention and are even less great at being aware of their surroundings, so keep an extra eye out as you drive.

Construction season has also o cially started, so please be careful in those areas, too. I almost got taken out by a ord Explorer on my way home the other day by someone who was being impatient on N, where it was down to one lane. I promise, getting where you’re going a little late is better than not getting where you’re going at all

worth it.”

The law is named for Paul Miller r., who was tragically killed in a crash with a tractor-trailer in in Monroe County, as a result of a distracted driver who reached for their phone while driving. Since his death, Paul’s mother Eileen Miller has become a national advocate for stronger laws to curb distracted driving.

Also, Paul Miller’s Law’ is now in full eﬀect. According to pa.gov, “Paul Miller’s Law prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, even while stopped temporarily due to tra c, a red light, or other momentary delay. Pennsylvania already enforces a texting-while-driving ban that prohibits drivers from using mobile devices to send, read, or write textbased communications while their vehicle is in motion.” Law enforcement can now issue summary citations to violators.

“Paul Miller’s Law is about saving lives,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “ our choices behind the wheel can change lives forever. Make the safe choice. Put your phone out of reach and don’t text and drive. One text, one glance down it could kill someone. And it’s not

“Nearly years ago, two Dunmore state troopers knocked on my door to tell me that my son was killed,” said Eileen Miller, Paul Miller r.’s mother. “My son did everything right he was killed by someone else’s unsafe choices behind the wheel. This law is for every family in Pennsylvania that doesn’t have to experience two state troopers knocking on their door to tell them that their loved one was killed by distracted driving. Paul Miller’s Law will be a beacon of protection for every driver and passenger in Pennsylvania.”

Annual Williamsport Soap Box Derby

This Saturday, June 13

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

This Saturday, June 13, Market Street Hill in Williamsport will come alive as soapbox racers take to the course for the annual Williamsport Soap Box Derby.

Soap Box Derby racing started in Williamsport in 1941 and ran until 1954, except during World War II from 1942 to 1945.

During those years, Williamsport had 10 champions who went on to represent the city at the All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio. The biggest moment was in 1951, when Darwin Cooper from Danville won the National Soap Box Derby Championship. This year, local racers will compete for the “Darwin Cooper Memorial Trophy.”

Mike Barclay, a member of the race committee and the Williamsport Ki-

wanis Club, explained that the committee was formed in 2009 thanks to Dr. James Campbell’s vision. “Jim raced in the Soap Box Derby as a child and wanted to bring the event back to Williamsport.

“ e ﬁrst reached out to the City of Williamsport and shared his idea with former mayor Gabriel Campana, who was excited and fully supported it.

“Next, Jim contacted the Kiwanis Club of Williamsport to ﬁnd volunteers. That’s how I became involved. As a member of the Kiwanis Club, I have served as the club’s representative for the Soap Box Derby ever since.

“We realized we needed help with promotion and publicity to recruit drivers, ﬁnd sponsors, and raise public awareness,” Barclay told Webb Weekly. That’s when the Williamsport Sun-Gazette and Backyard Broadcasting

joined as supporters. The four main sponsors are the City of Williamsport, Kiwanis Club of Williamsport, Williamsport Sun-Gazette, and Backyard Broadcasting. All four continue to support the event and have members on the Soap Box Derby committee.”

Barclay says the Williamsport Soap Box Derby is truly a community event, and it wouldn’t be possible without local support.

The event now costs nearly $30,000 each year. Without car sponsors, the race wouldn’t happen. Organizers are very grateful to their sponsors, most of whom have supported the race from the beginning and continue to renew their support every year.

Expenses cover things like race shop rent, insurance, registration, cars and parts, trophies, t-shirts, and travel and hotel costs for the winners and their families to attend the International Championships in Akron, Ohio, each July.

The winners of the Stock and Super Stock divisions go on to represent Williamsport at the International Championships.

The Williamsport Kiwanis Club is

proud and honored to be part of the Soap Box Derby.

“The Soap Box Derby is more than a race — it is a longstanding American tradition that inspires young people to learn, grow, and engage with their community,” said Jack Houston, President of the Kiwanis Club of Williamsport. “Kiwanis is honored to be part of an event that connects generations through service, mentorship, and positive youth development. We are excited to support this year’s Derby and celebrate the remarkable young participants who represent the future of our community,” said Jack Houston, President of the Kiwanis Club of Williamsport. “Kiwanis is honored to be part of an event that connects generations through service, mentorship, and positive youth devel-

opment. We are excited to support this year’s Derby and celebrate the remarkable young participants who represent the future of our community.”

After nearly 60 years away, the Soap Box Derby returned to Williamsport on July 3, 2010, with 52 cars taking part in the local race. In 2011, the race welcomed a special guest: former International Soap Box Derby Grand Champion Darwin Cooper. He won the Williamsport race in 1951, driving the Williamsport Sun-Gazette car, and then went on to win the International Championships in Akron.

“Darwin was so happy we resurrected the race here in Williamsport. In his honor, the annual winners of our local race get their names on the Darwin Cooper Champion Cup, which is proudly displayed at the Williamsport Lycoming Chamber of Commerce lobby,” said Barclay.

Over the years, the race has grown to include 64 cars — 32 Stock Cars and 32 Super Stock Cars.

Since coming back, the Williams-

port Soap Box Derby has expanded by buying a timing system, building three trailers to move cars up the hill, adding bumper boards for safety, purchasing tents, and renting warehouse space for easier car access and safety checks.

“Our race is always in need of volunteers. Our Race committee is always looking for individuals to serve,” Barclay said. “Many of our race committee members are aging and have moved on, and we need to replace them. We have a couple of former racers, Jane Mertes and Jack Holmes, now serving on the committee. For the event’s longevity, we need more individuals like Jane and Jack to serve. We always need help on race day. Even if it’s just setting up the track and tearing it down, in the past, many of the neighbors have stepped in to help.”

Barclay concluded, “It is great to see the families supporting the racers. The joy it brings the families is very satisfying to us volunteers. That is why we do it.”

Robert Hughes Who Once Helped Slaves to Freedom Dies at Family Homestead

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Robert Hughes, oldest resident of Loyalsock Township, whose home along Freedom Road was a station on the famous Underground Railroad in Civil War times, died at his home on June 10, 1941.

A life-long resident of Lycoming County, Mr. Hughes was born about 1856 in the home where his death occurred. He had never lived in any other house. He was the last individual in this locality to have personal knowledge of the route over which fugitive slaves were smuggled to Canada while eeing from their South-

ern owners before the Civil War.

As a boy he assisted his family in feeding and sheltering slaves who were brought to their out-of-the way home in the hollow north of Williamsport to rest and hide until being moved farther north.

Often, he recalled, it was necessary to conceal the fugitives in the thick underbrush and woods about the cottage house.

The runaways were brought here from Northumberland and after resting in concealment with the Hughes family, would be transferred by night to Elmira, Oswego and Canasteo, N.Y., thence into Canada.

Mr. Hughes was the son of Daniel Hughes, a Mohawk Indian, who came here from Canada, participated in In-

dian encampments at Muncy, and later purchased the land on which the Hughes homestead is now located. His mother was a Negro, whose uncle was the ﬁrst settler along Freedom Road.

It was the friendliness of Daniel Hughes and wife that prompted them to open their home to the fugitives. In later years they showed similar sentiments in dedicating one acre of their land for a cemetery for Negroes. In this plot is buried 35 to 40 Negroes of the Civil War.

Mr. Hughes was the last of 16 children. He had retired about 10 years ago after 40 years with the Vallamont Land Company but until his death insisted on acting as caretaker of the small cemetery beside his house.

Instead of Jeans

Warm weather in PA doesn’t ease in. Sure, there are a few teasing days of spring temperatures and then BAM! Full-blown summer hits with hardly any time for adjustments to your wardrobe, your internal clock, or to answer the age-old question, “What should I wear today?” Most months of the year, when uncertainty creeps into my outﬁt for the day, I grab a pair of jeans and keep it simple. But, in summer, the heavy, restrictive fabric just isn’t practical, so let’s run down a few alternatives for the season instead of wearing jeans. Obviously, shorts and summer go hand in hand, but the trend toward shorter shorts may not be suitable for everyone or every day. For work, I look to trouser shorts like Halara’s High Waisted Zipper Pocket Work Linen-Feel Short in black or khaki as the basis for a summer o ce uniform. Or for more appropriate coverage, if you’re in need, there’s also Bermuda-style shorts that feature a longer, closer-to-hitting-the-knee hem.

Uniqlo’s Jersey Pleated Long Shorts also come in black and khaki and are made of a cotton-blend jersey for a crisp look suitable for summer o ce hours. Wear either pair with a short-sleeved button-down and a cardigan for the AC, which you can wear tied around your shoulders for venturing outside after quitting time.

This time of year also calls for culottes as your jean alternative. Nordstrom brand Open Edit has its Linen Blend Culottes in brown or ivory, with matching tops, for a breathable yet polished matching set. I also like their elastic waist, as the standard button-and-zipper y feels overly structured for this time of year. Another breezier waist option is drawstring bottoms. Drawstrings are the epitome of comfort and ease, which is the perfect vibe for summer style. You can go with the typical linen or cotton-poplin straight-leg style or with a cropped wide-leg like Three Bird Nest’s So Comfy Wide Leg Pant Cropped Length, which purports to

be “easy, breezy, and endlessly comfy.” These would be the ideal bottom for a sunny afternoon out in the garden or for running errands.

For a more risqué take or as a swimsuit cover-up alternative, there are sheer drawstring pants like Old Navy’s igh-Waisted Sheer Chiﬀon arem Pants, available in sage, black, pink, or light blue. You can wear this with a bathing suit, or over a boy short undergarment with a simple white tank. If you’re inclined for something a bit edgy, you can pair up with a smocked bodice tube top or cami to keep cool on a hot evening out.

houettes, and fabrics. Natural, breathable material, and loose or owing silhouettes are must-haves for summer frocks, especially when worn on casual occasions. Natural Life’s Hangout Cotton Midi Dress ﬁts that bill and has pockets, and can be worn for a cookout or simply around the house. or work in an o ce or front-facing setting, a shirtdress like Banana Republic’s Cotton Poplin Shirt Dress in navy, beige, or olive green will get the style job done while keeping you comfortable.

In addition to harem and palazzo-style pants, balloon trousers offer a whimsical, playful take on seasonal outfits. This oversized style is made to be airy and owy, allowing your skin to breathe. Walmart’s Daily Trove Women’s Linen-Blend Balloon Pants come in half a dozen different colors and are cropped for further ventilation. There are definitely some clownish balloon trousers out there. Try not to get caught up in anything too poofy; just a bit of poof goes a long way. With all this talk of pants, let us not forget the power of a summer dress. They come in a variety of styles, sil-

If you simply cannot part with denim this summer, consider switching up your current jeans with a white pair, like Target’s Universal Thread Women’s High-Rise Easy Barrel Jeans. A white, or sand-toned jean, works best in the heat when it’s a roomier silhouette. So, barrel leg, wide leg, wide cropped leg, or a ared leg will hopefully allow for air ow on a hot day. Wear white jeans, as you would your regular jeans, consider it a seasonal swap. Here’s to the heat and humidity headed our way and, on some days, already here. It was nice knowing you, spring, but summer has arrived, and hopefully you feel better prepared to give your jeans a rest.

This article is for the people who are on the fence about taking control of their health.

Maybe you know you need to take better care of yourself, but you keep putting it oﬀ.

Maybe you are stuck in a yo-yo cycle where you are all in for a few weeks, fall oﬀ for a while, then get motivated and jump right back in again.

I get it.

A lot of us start our health journey because we want to look better.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But over time, something changes.

You realize that taking care of your health

is about a lot more than how you look. It becomes about being the healthiest version of yourself that you can be.

Not just for you.

For your family.

For your spouse.

For your kids.

The goal becomes having the energy to play with your kids, being around for your grandkids one day, and being able to show up as your best self for the people you love.

I know it is not this simple, but I am going to try to simplify it into three words:

Priority. Confidence. Discipline. Prioritize healthy things.

Everything you choose to do is either go-

ing to make you better or make you worse. You are not just going to stay the same.

The bottom line is this.

If you choose fast food, you are prioritizing that over eating healthy. If you choose to sit on the couch instead of working out, you are prioritizing that over moving your body.

I am not saying you are not allowed to do those things. You can prioritize whatever you want.

But when you break it down that way, it makes decisions a lot easier.

You have to ask yourself, “Is this helping me become the person I want to be?”

There is an old saying that goes, “You can’t soar with the eagles if you hoot with the owls.”

Conﬁdence

A lot of being healthy and doing the right thing comes down to conﬁdence. It takes conﬁdence to make hard decisions. You have to be willing to tell people no and be comfortable with it.

“No, I am not going to eat that because I am watching what I eat and trying to take care of myself.”

Or...

“No, I am not staying out late because I need to get up early and get my workout in.”

The funny thing is, people often push back on you. They will try to make you feel bad about making a healthy choice.

or a long time, I tried to ﬁgure out why. I think it is because when you choose to do the right thing, it puts a mirror in front of other people. It forces them to think about the choices they are making.

There have been plenty of times where I have gone somewhere, hung out with friends, and just had a water. Not because I did not want to be there, but because I wanted to stay on track with my goals.

You do not have to choose between having a life and being healthy. You can do both.

One quote I heard that has always stuck with me is this:

“A cupcake tastes good for about two minutes. Feeling good lasts a whole lot longer.” Lastly, there is discipline.

Discipline is really just self-respect in action.

It is choosing long-term growth over shortterm comfort.

It is choosing the workout when you would rather sleep in.

It is choosing the healthier meal when the easier option is sitting right in front of you.

It is understanding that one good decision will not change your life, just like one bad decision will not ruin it. The key is stacking good days on top of good days.

Over time, those days add up.

You feel better. You have more energy. You become stronger physically and mentally.

Most importantly, you become a better version of yourself.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

In 2031, Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band will celebrate its 200th year of continuous existence; but in the meantime, this year, the local ensemble honors yet another anniversary — America’s 250th — with a robust slate of concerts in June, July and August.

With 10 Central PA gigs on the schedule, the band’s summer 2026 program highlights accomplished local musi-

cians, while also presenting such patriotic favorites as “America the Beautiful,” “Stars and Stripes Forever” and the national anthem — plus a medley featuring all ﬁve themes from each branch of the U.S. armed forces.

In addition, the summer tune-selection focuses on various aspects of Central PA history and locales.

“The Eagles Mere March” — which the band will perform in the titular town on July 4 (and at other shows) — was arranged by long-time Repasz conduc-

tor and beloved local educator Albert J. Nacinovich.

Likewise, “The Brandon Park March” will be played twice at the park’s bandshell — where Repasz performed when that facility was dedicated in 1914. (That’s why the ensemble’s historical marker stands nearby.) The “Brandon” march was written in 1883 by long-time Muncy entrepreneur and musician Preston Gowers.

Similarly, 1921’s “Buick March” (also on the summer slate) was composed by Williamsport musician John Hazel. Widely considered his era’s “wizard of the cornet,” Hazel wrote and arranged many tunes for Repasz.

And “The Millionaires March” was likewise composed by Williamsport musician C. D. Henninger — with its title honoring the city’s one-time Tri-State League baseball team (1906 — 10).

The 116-year-old March was recently rearranged by USAF trumpeter and bugle-call expert Jari Villanueva — who will himself conduct the piece for Repasz’s June 9 performance at Nippenose Valley Village.

The summer program also features “Salute to Williamsport,” the Central PA fave “Beer Barrel Polka” and “Imperial Teteques.” That latter honors the city’s long-time Masonic band, whose former members are invited to perform with Repasz on July 5 at the Scottish Rite Auditorium — where Teteque played

countless concerts over many decades.

Several planned summer pieces were composed or arranged by local musicians F. H. Losey and Harry J. Lincoln — the latter of whom worked on the signature “Repasz Band March.” Fittingly then, many of the program’s selections were originally published by the now-defunct Vandersloot Music Co., formerly located on West Third Street in Williamsport with an o ce on Tin Pan Alley in Manhattan. Lincoln and Losey had both been on the andersloot staﬀ.

The Repasz summer concerts will also include some more recent tunes by Rossano Galante (“Liberty”) and Nathan Hervey (“Everyday Heroes”) — plus a medley of George M. Cohan hits including “Give My Regards to Broadway,” “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”

Here’s the full schedule:

June 9, 6:30 p.m., Nippenose Valley Village; June 14, 1:30 p.m., Ways Garden in Williamsport; June 14, 6 p.m., Flag Day at Penn College; June 27, 2 p.m., America 250 Celebration in Brandon Park; July 4, 5 p.m., Eagles Mere; July 5, 7 p.m., Williamsport Scottish Rite; July 7, 6:30 p.m., Williamsport Home; July 10, 6 p.m., WeCare at Sycamore in Montoursville; August 2, 7 p.m., Brandon Park; and the Little League Parade on August 18.

The Crosscutters’ Burd Brothers Have Extensive NHL Pedigree

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

For the ﬁrst time in Williamsport’s long and storied baseball history, a pair of brothers grace the roster of a Williamsport professional team.

If that isn’t notable enough, the brothers, Steele and Slaide Burd, have an extensive National ockey League pedigree in their back-

ground.

Two of their great-grandfathers are N L all of amers, Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoﬀrion, the inventor of the “slap shot,” and oward Morenz. Their grandfather, arland Monahan, enjoyed a ﬁne career in the N L with the New ork angers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, and Los Angeles Kings in the late s and early s.

They also have baseball in their background.

Their uncle, Shane Monahan, saw action with the Seattle Mariners in , in addition to minor league teams in the eds, Padres, ockies, Pirates, and oyals organizations.

Another uncle spent time in the Chicago Cubs farm system.

“It’s deﬁnitely a dream come true to get the chance to play professional baseball,” Slaide Burd told Webb Weekly. “It’s also kind of neat to play on the same team as your brother. It means a lot for me to start in a place so rich in baseball history. I just graduated from high school, and having him around on the same team will help me get acclimated to the faster pace of baseball at this level. I really

enjoy the idea of playing at a place as historic as this is.”

Steele, the older of the two brothers, may have the harder task, because he plays the demanding position of catcher, but it is a challenge he is ready to meet.

“I had a pretty good season at unior College the State College of lorida-Manatee-Sarasota , and I hope that gave me some good preparation for playing here,” Steele stated. “I really look forward to learning a lot and honing my skills this year. It’s going to be a great challenge for me as well as Slaide.”

Both are uick to point to their strong Christian beliefs to help them get through the rigors of the season.

“We both trust in God and have faith in him, and he will sustain us through whatever we may encounter,” stated Steele.

The Burds will be attending Stetson niversity in DeLand, lorida, this fall. In the meantime, they will play for the Cutters during the ﬁrst half of the season, when all players are amateurs and have not signed any professional contracts yet.

Well folks, it’s pretty safe to say that summer is here.

I’ve been truly blessed with the path I chose that I am able to be with my kids throughout the summer. I didn’t want to be with them just as babies and toddlers, but I want to live out these summers because we only get so many. Watching Ty and his buddies ride dirt bikes around our property, having picnics with Kenzy, hot days spent in the river and rainy days cuddled on the couch and cooking in the kitchen. Picking bou uets of wildowers and teaching Kenzy how to garden. Seeing my son riding

Guys, I feel like we no sooner blink, and the leaves start changing into fall. We need to just soak up these summer days. As much as I hate the heat, I do enjoy summer. I can do without the humidity and dealing with my blasted upperlip sweat from the torture of high heat, but it’s the time with my kids and family I really enjoy. These days move too uickly. I want to slow down this summer

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

Fred Rogers was right. Having good neighbors is a very important thing, and it’s equally important for people to reciprocate that act by being a good neighbor. Rogers’ famous song, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” was situated at the start of each episode of his beloved PBS television show, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. He kept the lyrics simple, but despite their simplicity, they clearly resonated on a deeper level the message of caring about others.

Melinda Wentzel

I’d do without my wonderful neighbors. Aside from socializing around a ﬁrepit or catching up with them on our daily walks and interacting with their kids or pets when we encounter them, I’ve depended on them on more occasions than I can reliably number.

Unfortunately, according to a Pew Research Center study, a lot of people these days don’t even know their neighbors, let alone consider them friends — which is a sad commentary on our modern society. Worse yet, the trends are heading in the wrong direction. Perhaps for a variety of reasons, people are no longer investing the time to hold real conversations and form lasting relationships with those who live near them. Lots of people have busy schedules, or they rent and may move often — which might explain some of the eﬀect. Regardless of why it’s happening, it surely is happening and I for one think it’s tragic. I honestly don’t know what

I’ll never forget the time Beth S. raced across the backyard to our house one night, wielding a golf club (an iron, I think), while our kids were home alone and afraid because they heard a strange noise outside. After talking with her, I remember feeling extremely relieved that all was well and thankful she had come to the rescue, once again.

I also remember Tony D. giving us invaluable peace of mind when he checked the entire perimeter of our home because we called to tell him we had received a notiﬁcation from our security service while we were sitting in Carnegie Hall in New York City. Once again, it was a false alarm, but we felt immeasurably better because of his kind act.

Nor will I forget the time our neigh-

bor, Ron C., bailed us out by picking up our family after our Jeep broke down and needed to be towed. He took time out of his day to drive to the outskirts of town and haul us all home, our kids likely jabbering the whole time. And as I mentioned a few weeks ago, our neighbor, Jay R., not only started our leaf blower on more than one occasion, he also helped us relearn how to vacuum our pool the old-fashioned way (by hand) without once chuckling at our ineptitude.

And there was the summer that our neighbor, Craig C., helped my husband dig through an ungodly amount of shale to install our new mailbox — one that was attached to a wooden post he painstakingly measured and built in his shop, just to be neighborly.

What’s more, our friend and neighbor, Jeremy J., plows our driveway every winter with his nifty four-wheeler (sometimes with his daughter aboard), never once asking to be compensated for his eﬀorts. Likewise and before eremy moved in), Nick Y. shoveled the mound of snow and ice embedded at the base of our driveway — because the township snowplow, of course, had undone all the work we had accomplished with our snowblower.

Another irreplaceable neighbor, John

I., oﬀered to go with me to visit my husband who had just arrived at the ER via ambulance. I recall we had barely settled into our house, now almost 30 years ago, and already he was willing to be there for us.

And there was Tera B. who literally saved our marriage by assembling a Pack ‘n Play for us while we held our newborn twins and looked on in amazement at both her patience and mechanical skill.

Yet another treasured set of neighbors, Christine and Phil J., will forever hold a special place in our hearts because they kept our new puppy overnight on Christmas Eve — so that our daughters could experience one of the biggest and most memorable joys on Christmas morning when they were six. They still talk about that Christmas surprise to this day. I can only hope my husband and I have returned the many favors I’ve described here. It’s likely I’ve forgotten to mention some.

Fred Rogers was, indeed, right. Neighbors are some of the most important people in our lives. Be like Fred — make an eﬀort to get to know your neighbors. Welcome to my world. It’s where I live (feeling grateful for my neighbors). Visit me there at www.melindawentzel.com. Signed books are available on Etsy at PlanetMomMarket.

Directed by Pastor Angelique Labade, Sojourner Truth Ministries in Williamsport endeavors to provide patrons and the broader community with a comprehensive program beyond a daily meal. One of the ways the organization does this is by hosting its annual Community Wellness Fair. This year’s event will take place on Wednesday, June 17th, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “The goal is to connect the people we serve with the resources that they need,” said Pastor Angelique. “We have established the proper relationships that empower and motivate individuals to engage the community and navigate the resources that are available to meet their speciﬁc needs.”

Truth Ministries is a Christian nonproﬁt and integrated soup kitchen. Over the years, it has become a trusted place where people can ﬁnd not only food but also encouragement, prayer, practical support, and a sense of belonging.

The Community Wellness Fair will include health, wellness, and social service agencies from around the region that will be providing giveaways, educational materials, and also opportunities for the public to connect with various resources and programs.

About STM-Sojourner Truth Ministries has served the community for over 26 years and continues to live out a mission that reaches far beyond providing meals. Located at 501 High Street, Sojourner

Anyone who has spent time at STM during the lunch hour can quickly see why the ministry has made such a lasting impact. Guests are greeted warmly, and the dining room offers more than a place to eat. It is a place of fellowship, dignity, and human connection. Staff members and volunteers work to create an atmosphere where each person is welcomed and treated with care. Pastor Angelique is often found speaking with guests, offering a smile, a kind word, or simply her presence. That spirit of hospitality is one of the defining ualities of the ministry. Hot meals are served Monday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and for those who cannot stay, brown-bag lunches are available to go. Prayer and a daily devotion are offered during mealtime, and on Saturdays, Dinner Church is held upstairs in the sanctuary at 11:15 a.m. STM also provides a limited food giveaway from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. In addition

to meeting physical needs, the ministry creates opportunities for spiritual growth through Bible study, held on Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the sanctuary.

When asked how daily meals connect people in the community, Stephanie Shover, Pre-missionary to South Africa and PhD candidate, stated, “The soup kitchen builds bridges with people and helps refer them to supports for them and their families. Building community and strong, healthy relationships. It meets the need for food insecurity in Williamsport as well as provides a place for people to seek help with other resources.” Shover went on to say that the idea behind the health fair was to build awareness in the community and collaboration among agencies.

“STM was named after one of my heroes, Sojourner Truth,” said Pastor Angelique. “She escaped slavery and went on to be a powerful preacher, abolitionist, promoted women’s and all people’s rights, and demonstrated that one’s past does not need to dictate their future. People can rise from their circumstances and ought to help others along the way. We are a soup kitchen serving in Williamsport. One of our tag lines is “so much more than a soup kitchen”, and we welcome people in for community time and a hearty meal while treating each with dignity. The food is often times the back door to connecting with others, and agencies, who may be able to help people with their speciﬁc areas of need. We do everything with the love of

Jesus Christ.”

When asked why she thought STM was important to the community, Pastor Angelique went on to say, “We help, even if in micro-steps, people to move forward if they choose. We serve meals, have emergency food care boxes, an after-school kids program and tutoring, daily optional devotions, and opportunities for spiritual growth. This place is a community hub for many; a safe place to be.”

She went on to say that the Community Wellness Fair is an excellent opportunity for multiple reasons. “For agencies to network and collaborate, for those curious about or needing various services to be introduced to real people representing those services, and to have opportunities to ask questions,” said Pastor Angelique.

“We hope that this eliminates apprehension to receive services. We have connections made, and barriers lessen, leading to follow-up and follow-through. I so much appreciate how advocacy also happens as a result of connections being made at the resource fair. Pipeline referrals- I have done this myself numerous times. In addition to this, neighbors and our community have opportunities to connect, learn, collaborate, and be introduced or reintroduced to services in our area. This can only strengthen our community.”

Event details: Sojourner Truth Ministries Community Wellness Fair will be held on June 17th, from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at 501 High Street, Williamsport.

HUMPBACK FRESH MARKET

As the readers of the Webb Weekly know, I don’t venture into politics — and I’m not going to start today. Don’t get me wrong, the expression of political opinion is important. Why? Because in a free society, we need balance. The only way to achieve balance is to hear what others are thinking and the history of how they arrived at their conclu-

sions. Heated political debate tends to cool down when opponents shift their focus from defending a position to building a relationship.

I was having lunch with an atheist. It wasn’t a chance meeting. The reason we were eating together was because he had identiﬁed himself at a public event as an avowed atheist. Because I believe God exists, I am intrigued by those who believe

the exact opposite. I was honored that he would take time out of his busy schedule to meet with me, and I let him know I was thankful for that grace.

I had initiated our meeting, so I hosted the conversation. Before jumping into the topic of atheism, I asked questions about his life: family, profession, hobbies, experiences. His responses allowed me to share about my life. We discovered we had a lot in common. The conversation was easy and enjoyable.

I shifted the conversation to atheism by asking him about the journey that led him to that conclusion. It wasn’t a loaded question. I wasn’t seeking a gotcha statement that I could leverage to win the conversation. I was sincerely curious about his journey — and he sensed it. What he shared was an all-too-familiar story. His mother was a life-

long believer, and he loved her dearly. When she was diagnosed with cancer, their church told them that if they had enough faith, God would heal her. She prayed and fasted. The church held a healing service where she was anointed with oil by elders who declared that the prayer of faith would heal the sick. He placed his full faith in God’s power to deliver his mother from cancer. The healing didn’t happen. His mother suﬀered terribly as the cancer progressed and ﬁnally took her life. The disappointment was deep and led to a full rejection of God. His story of disappointment was all too familiar because we Christians often attempt to speak for God. We twist his words to match our desires and opinions. We put periods where God has left question marks. We get full of ourselves, thinking we can contain the Almighty in our little theological statements and dogmatic boxes. Our assumptions and arrogance set people up for failure and destroy relationships. That’s what happened to my atheist lunch

partner.

The church had presented a God who could be manipulated by faith to do exactly what he and his mother wanted. It was a well-intentioned lie, but a lie just the same. Yes, faith can move the heart of God, and yes, a lack of faith can keep miracles from happening. But hear this: faith cannot guarantee an outcome. If it could, God would be diminished to nothing more than the grantor of wishes.

I empathized with my new friend. I, too, was taught that faith could bring about a guaranteed miracle. I, too, suﬀered a deep faith disappointment and struggled with my belief in God. We found common ground in our pain and expressed concern for each other.

I then shared with him about two men in the Bible who also suﬀered deep disappointment as their faith collided with the unmovable and redemptive will of God:

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed earnestly for God’s intervention. e was ﬁlled with per-

fect faith that his Father could do it. God’s answer was no. See Matthew 26:36-46.

Paul prayed earnestly that God would remove his thorn in the esh. e oﬀered to God all the faith he could muster. God’s answer was no. See 2 Corinthians 12:1-10.

I suggested that God must have a lot of faith in us if he was willing to say no to our fervent faith-ﬁlled prayers. I asked him if I could pray to conclude our time together. He graciously allowed me to do so. We stood up, shook hands, and then embraced. A believer and an atheist who shared lunch and encouraged each other. We both received grace that day.

Is God male? The next time someone asks you a hot-button question, take a moment to learn about their journey. Listen intently. Be open and honest about your journey. Seek to build a relationship rather than win an argument, and maybe, just maybe, your time together will end in a grace-ﬁlled embrace. Our world could use more of that.

Best of the Bee: Spelling Words from Scripps

The 98th Scripps National Spelling Bee ﬁnished up on May 28 in Washington, D.C. Its winning word was bromocriptine, correctly spelled by -year-old Shrey Parikh, of Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

According to the USA Today piece on that meet, this year’s winning word means “a polypeptide alkaloid that is a derivative of ergot and mimics the activity of dopamine.” It won Parikh more than $52,000.

Iguape (ee-GWAH-peh, noun) –Named for a port city of Brazil, iguape is a native Tupi term used as an alternate name for the candlenut. These are borne by a tropical tree of that name and used for oil in paints and varnishes; their oil can also make candles — hence the name. (Microsoft Encarta Dictionary)

Monadnock (muh-NAD-nock, noun) – “A mountain or rocky mass that has resisted erosion and stands isolated in an essentially level area” (American Heritage).

For us in the Northeast, the term may be most familiar as the name of a mountain in New Hampshire (it is famously mentioned in Thornton Wilder’s well-known play Our Town). Actually, the common noun is taken from that New England peak, which originally derived its name from the Algonquian language.

The world’s most famous monadnock, however, is almost certainly Uluru, or Ayer’s Rock — a massive copper-colored monolith in Central Australia.

Sacred to indigenous peoples, Uluru is almost spooky in its size and isolation; look up some photos!

A monadnock can also be called an inselberg — a German word meaning “island mountain.”

– A coarse red granite quarried in Finland; it is an igneous rock characterized by large rounded crystals and often used for building in Russia (M-W and Wikipedia).

Tlachtli (noun) – “A ball game played by Central American Indians (as the Aztecs and Mayas) in which the players endeavor by the use of only the leg, hip and elbow to send a solid rubber ball through two rings set vertically in the walls of an I-shaped court” (M-W).

A Nahuatl word, this is tough to pronounce — with not one but two instances of the common Nahuatl consonant blend tl, which works pretty much the way you would think (i.e., NAH-wattle). The ch is pronounced as in church, and stress is on the ﬁrst syllable — with a long E at the end: TLATCH-lee. Probably as tough to play as it is to say.

The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners gathered on Thursday, May 28, 2026, for a public session that carried the full texture of local government at work. Commissioners Scott Metzger, Marc Sortman, and Mark Mussina presided over a meeting that moved from communi-

ty tension to community hope, from careful spending to careful planning, and from the weight of the present to the promise of what comes next. It was, by any measure, a morning that re ected the breadth of responsibility these three men carry on behalf of every resident in the county.

Public comment opened with a moment that deserved careful attention.

Terri Lauchle, President of the Muncy

Township Fire Company and a township supervisor, stepped forward to address the board directly and with quiet resolve. She asked that county o cials reach out to local leaders privately and professionally before making public statements critical of township cleanup eﬀorts, a re uest born from earlier commissioner pressure urging the township to move faster on addressing conditions in the area. Her words were measured and digniﬁed, a reminder that productive relationships between layers of government are built not through public pressure alone, but through the kind of direct, respectful communication that makes genuine collaboration possible. The exchange was civil on all sides, and it pointed toward a path both parties can walk together with greater trust, mutual

understanding, and shared purpose in the future.

The commissioners also addressed something that had unfolded the evening before. On May 27, a high-priority community meeting drew together a remarkable coalition of local nonproﬁts, clergy, law enforcement, and educators, all gathered around a shared and urgent concern: a rise in youth oﬀenses across the county.

Chairman Metzger and community members explored the revival of a youth commission model. This framework responds to minor oﬀenses not with the cold machinery of the court system, but with community service, monthly mentorship, and deliberate parental involvement. It is a vision rooted in the belief that a young person who stumbles deserves a hand up before they ever need a way out. The energy and commitment present in that room the evening before carried clearly into the morning session, suggesting that this conversation is far from over and that meaningful action is on the horizon.

The board moved through a focused slate of operational business with the uiet e ciency that keeps county gov-

negotiations, the county secured a lower price on building switches for network infrastructure renewal, cutting support costs by approximately half and delivering a meaningful return for taxpayers who fund these essential systems. A three-year operating agreement renewal with Northern Star Services was approved, totaling $4,833. The board also ratiﬁed the accounts payable cash requirement report covering invoices due through June 3, 2026, totaling approximately 1.7 million dollars, re ecting the steady and serious ﬁnancial stewardship that underpins every service the county provides to its residents each day.

The commissioners addressed the community conversation surrounding the cancellation of the Williamsport ourth of uly fireworks. ather than leaving residents without a reason to gather, the America250 PA national celebrations offer something meaningful and perhaps even more historically significant. A free epasz Band concert and the Flags Across America national pledge event at Pennsylvania College of Technology on June 14 stand as centerpieces of this year’s regional celebratory lineup, honoring the 250th anniversary of the nation

with the shared, community-rooted joy that reminds people why they are proud to live where they live. The ﬁreworks may not light the sky this July, but the spirit of the occasion will be present in full measure.

The session also included a departmental update from Public Safety Director orest othchild and a brief Salary Board meeting. We authorized multiple part-time and full-time hires across the local court system and the Sheriﬀ’s department, reinforcing the county’s commitment to keeping public safety operations strong, fully staﬀed, and ready to serve a community that depends on them every day. These are not small decisions. Behind every hire is a resident who will one day need help, and a county that has made certain someone will be there to provide it.

The May 28 meeting was, in many ways, a portrait of what local government looks like when it is doing its job well. It listened carefully. It invested wisely. It planned thoughtfully. And in the spaces between the motions and the votes, it revealed a county that genuinely cares about the people it serves and the future it is working to build for them.

Grow Healthier Plants

Almost every gardener knows the frustration: One corner of the garden bursts with life while another struggles to hang on. Flowers are slow to open, vegetables disappoint and the soil seems to drink up water and ask for more.

However, seasoned gardeners know the diﬀerence between a struggling garden and a thriving one almost always comes down to what’s beneath the surface.

Success Runs Soil Deep

The change in seasons can leave soil compacted and depleted, so spending some time giving it a boost can set the stage for strong, healthy plants. It may also be easier than many gardeners think to give soil the help it needs. Blending in amendments like biochar improves soil health, helps retain water and locks in nutrients.

An easy-to-use yet powerful conditioner that helps balance soil p , Wakeﬁeld

BioChar boosts soil fertility and supports stronger, healthier plant growth. Once it’s mixed into soil, biochar becomes a powerhouse worker. It holds onto water like a sponge, slowly releasing and making the water accessible, so plants continually receive moisture and gardeners need to water less. It also makes nutrients more available to plants, resulting in healthier gardens and greener lawns.

An Easy-to-Use Boost

When planting in the garden or pots, biochar should make up approximately 10% of the soil mix. If you’re setting up a garden bed, mix it into the soil to a depth of 4-6 inches (1 cubic foot is plenty for a 4-by-8-foot garden bed). For trees and shrubs, adding biochar directly to the roots helps them get oﬀ to a strong start and supports healthy growth.

It’s also a natural way to improve a lawn’s look and performance. To add biochar to your lawn to prepare for warm weather, spread it evenly across the grass, either by hand or with a broadcast spreader for larger areas. Aim for a thin, even layer to ensure all parts of your lawn beneﬁt from its properties, improving long-term soil health. For newly planted lawns, mix 1 cubic foot of biochar into every 100 square feet of soil, making sure it penetrates 2-4 inches deep.

No matter where you use biochar, water regularly for the ﬁrst week to activate its beneﬁts. Watering helps biochar settle into the soil and start working, as its porous structure holds moisture, helping keep gardens and lawns hydrated. Sustainable from the Ground Up

Not only does biochar deeply nourish your garden or lawn, it also helps create a more sustainable environment for years to

come. It’s made by heating natural materials, such as organic wood waste, in a way that stores carbon rather than releasing it into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases. The process — called pyrolysis — locks carbon into a stable form that doesn’t break down as quickly as mulch or compost and transforms into a light, porous

material that stays active, season after season, to ensure nutrient-rich soil for years to come.

Beyond the Lawn

It isn’t just for providing plants with healthier soil. Bring biochar along on camping trips, as it also works well for composting toilets and has the added beneﬁt of controlling odors and absorbing waste, making it a sustainable option that can be composted afterward.

It can also be used as livestock bedding as it absorbs liquids, neutralizes odors and can be mixed with manure to create a more nutrient-rich compost for plants and crops. eature Impact Wakeﬁeld Biochar)

UPMC Pediatrician: Healthy Summer Habits for Kids

Nancy Grauso-Eby, D.O. UPMC Pediatrics

s the school year ends and summer begins, many families look forward to a season of camps, vacations, pool days, and more exibility at home. While summer can be a great time for rest and fun, it can also bring major shifts in sleep, meals, activity, and screen use. or children, those changes can aﬀect physical health, emotional well-being, and how smoothly they transition back to school later on.

With a little planning, families can help children enjoy a summer that is fun, active, and healthy. ere are a few simple ways to support good routines, safer screen habits, and overall wellness all season long.

Keep Routines and Screen Habits on Track

Without the structure of the school day, it is easy for bedtimes to drift later and for screens to ﬁll more of the day. The recent .S. Surgeon General’s advisory on screen use warns that it can interfere with sleep, learning, physical activity, and in-person social connection. Early screen exposure is also

linked to developmental and language concerns, and excessive use in older children and teens can contribute to mental and behavioral health problems. Parents should also monitor the content children are viewing, not just how much time they spend on screens.

Try to keep wake-up and bedtimes within about an hour of the schoolyear schedule when possible. Set regular times for meals, outdoor play, reading, chores, and downtime so screens do not become the default activity.

Screen-free meals, screen-free bedrooms, and unplugging before bedtime can help protect sleep and create more opportunities for conversation, movement, and family connection.

Parents do not have to aim for perfection. Instead, focus on balance and on what screens may be replacing. Encourage activities that help kids recharge in real life, such as free play, sports, family outings, hobbies, and time with friends. When children are online, talk about what they are watching, who they are interacting with, and how the content makes them feel.

Beat the Heat and Stay Sun Safe

Summer fun usually means more time outside than during the school year.

That can be wonderful for physical and mental health but being mindful about how long children are exposed to the sun and heat is important for well-being. Long stretches in the sun and high temperatures can become risky if families are not prepared.

Sun safety starts with shade, protective UV clothing, hats, and sunglasses, along with sunscreen. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SP of 30 or higher and apply it about 15 minutes before going outside. eapply every two hours and after swimming or sweating. There are two types of topical skin protection – regular chemical-based sunscreen, or mineral sun block. Both are eﬀective. Swimming is a great way to cool oﬀ. emember to have an adult who is not in the water to be a designated lifeguard, so that everyone is clear who is watching the swimmers. Drowning is a silent act.

Children can develop heat-related illnesses quickly, especially during active play or sports. Encourage water before, during, and after outdoor activity, and build in breaks in the shade or indoors during the hottest hours of the day, generally from late morning through late afternoon. Sugary drinks do not provide hydration as well as water.

Use Summer to Catch Up on Preventive Care

With school schedules out of the way, summer is often the easiest time to catch up on your child’s medical needs. A well-child visit helps make sure your child is growing and developing appropriately and gives families time to ask questions about sleep, behavior, nutrition, mood, screen use, sports, or any other concerns.

Your pediatrician can review physical and emotional health, update needed immunizations, and complete forms for school, camp, or sports. If your child takes daily medication, summer is also a good time to review doses, reﬁlls, and any side eﬀects or concerns.

Preventive care is more than a checklist. It is a chance to partner with your child’s doctor and build healthy habits that support your child throughout the year.

Summer should be a time for joy, exploration, and family memories. By protecting sleep, setting healthier boundaries around screens, staying safe in the sun and heat, and keeping up with preventive care, families can help children enjoy a season that supports both fun and long-term health.

E ective Measures to Reduce Screen Time

Constant phone notiﬁcations and a tendency to “doomscroll” for hours in an eﬀort to keep abreast of the latest news has conditioned people to keep their phones in hand at all times.

The Mayo Clinic cautions that excessive screen time threatens physical, social and mental health. Everything from obesity to eye strain to neck and back pain may be linked to spending too much time on phones, tablets and computers. Excessive screen time also has been linked to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Limiting daily screen time is recommended to foster better overall well-being. Pulling away from the draw of screens can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Audit your screen time

Getting a clear picture of daily screen time can help a person make changes for the better. Identify three applications that take up most of your time, and check how many times each day you reach for your phone or tablet to engage with these apps. Noting each engagement can shed light on how much time you’re spending on screens.

Make it less accessible

Technology often is over-used because designers engineered it to be easily accessible. By making things slightly less convenient, a person may be less inclined to use

it. Deleting apps that are over-used from a phone or tablet and only gaining access through a computer web browser is a start. Ban the phone from the bedroom and switch to a regular alarm clock. Kondo, a direct messaging management company, suggests turning settings on the device to display in grayscale, which makes things appear dull and less enticing.

Turn o notiﬁcations

Govern your notification permissions more strictly, turning off any that aren’t of the utmost importance. Disabling news alerts, sports scores, social media likes, and less vital notifications can greatly reduce the number of times a person looks at screens.

Replace with something else

Kicking a bad habit can be challenging, but ﬁnding something new and healthier to take its place can be eﬀective. Convert to more analog hobbies like journaling, reading, knitting, doing puzzles, or something else that engages the brain. Another idea is to try to commit to a few hours at least one day a week to put the phone away. Out of sight truly may mean out of mind.

Screens dominate people’s time. While it can be uncomfortable at ﬁrst to take a break, reducing screen time usage for the betterment of your overall health is worth some initial discomfort.

The Roving Sportsman… Father’s Day Gift Ideas

On Sunday, June 21, Father’s Day will be upon us, and it is the one day each year when we can show our Dad, our Pop, our Father how special we really think he is. Fortunately, with a little over a week to go, there is plenty of time for shopping and planning to make this Father’s Day memorable for the Father in your life. If he is an outdoor enthusiast, there are so many gadgets and so much gear available, no matter what the speciﬁc sport or activity he enjoys.

For a Father or husband who is into shooting sports, be it handguns, ri es, or shotguns, a trip to the local sporting goods store will let you pick out a huge array of items that ﬁt any budgbudget.

A box or two of shells for his favorite ﬁrearm, some gun-cleaning supplies, or the actual purchase of the latest gun he has been wanting will make him happy.

If he is a hunter, then focus on whatever game he likes to pursue. For tur-

key hunters, there is a limitless supply of gear and gadgets to help him be successful on his next turkey outing. From box calls, slate calls, and mouth calls to special turkey loads for his favorite shotgun, and even an upgrade of his camou age outﬁt or turkey vest, there is a wide variety of items that will be appreciated. The same is true of those men who like to hunt pheasants, grouse, squirrels, deer, or bear – lots of “stuﬀ” available that is useful on their hunts.

If you are trying to make a fisherman happy, particularly a y fisherman, you are really in luck. There is probably no other pursuit in the outdoors that has more gear and more gadgets available to up the game than y fishing Dry ies, wet ies, streamers, and nymphs, along with a multitude of y lines, leaders, and equipment ranging from a few dollars to the sky’s the limit, can be purchased at most nearby sporting goods stores.

If you want to give a gift that keeps on giving, consider signing Dad up to join an organization that supports one of

his favorite activities. The membership generally includes a monthly magazine so that he will be reminded month after month of your thoughtfulness. There is the NWTF (National Wild Turkey Federation), TU (Trout Unlimited), the GS uﬀed Grouse Society , or N A National i e Association , as well as many other great organizations that support any of his interests.

For those of you who are simply in a quandary as to what to get, there is always the go-to gift certificate. It works great if you want Dad to have the final say on what color, shape, or size of an item he might want, and any area sporting goods store will be happy to issue a certificate for Dad that will fit your budget.

But, in the end, there is ONE thing that you can give him that will impress him the most. Sure, shopping for a gadget or some gear, wrapping it nicely, and watching him open it on Sunday is nice, but it doesn’t come close to what I am about to suggest.

What is the most valuable item or “thing” that we have? That anyone has, really Is it our expensive automobile or truck Or, is it our home Actually, it is neither of those nor any possession you may have. It is your time. Time

is a ﬁnite uantity that once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. You cannot replace a minute of time, like you can replace almost any possession you may have. So why not consider giving good old Dad some of your most valuable possession – your time.

ow nice would it be to fix your Dad his favorite breakfast, then go on a hike together? Or, pack a lunch and go for a walk along his favorite fishing stream, sit for a while, and have some great deep conversations – talking about the things that are important to him, things you rarely take the time to discuss. Maybe even cook him his favorite meal and do it over a grill or a wood fire, then spend time visiting and reminiscing about some of your favorite memories of times you have shared during hunting or fishing outings. Sharing your time would be the most appreciated and memorable thing you could do, and you would both be able to re ect on the quality time you shared on his special day.

Sure, gifts, gear, and gadgets are nice and will be appreciated, but spending time together and creating a wonderful memory together is really the best thing you could give a Father on Father’s Day.

One of my favorite types of fishing is hitting the lakes for a variety of panfish, especially crappies. I like crappie fishing for several reasons, and one of the main reasons is that when you find feeding fish, the action can be constant and last for extended periods. Let’s be honest, fishing is a whole lot more fun if you are not just fishing, but you are also catching, and a good day of crappie fishing can lead to a whole lot of catching. Another good reason to go after crappies is that they are wonderful table fare when properly prepared. A dozen crappie fillets rolled in eggs, cracker crumbs, then fried in butter, is a great way to cap off a good day out on the lake. Crappies move into shallower water in and around wood cover, weedy edges, and rocky shorelines in the spring to spawn, but by now, they are pretty much done with the spawn, and they move to deeper water. They

are still very catchable, but to be honest, a boat will certainly increase your potential for success. Sure, fishing deep water off a rocky shoreline can produce some fish, but being able to roam all over a lake can lead to much more action. It’s probably a good idea to hit lakes with some reasonably deep water, maybe in the - foot range. Once we hit this time of year, we head for the open water and begin searching depths of at least or feet and deeper. It’s also a good idea to have sonar so you can see at what depths the fish are holding. This time of year, it’s no secret that crappies will move out into the open water, and it’s very common to spot fish suspended up and down the entire range. This past week, my brother and I fished a lake, and the sonar showed fish scattered up and down the entire range, as deep as feet.

nless you are pretty certain where some crappies are holding, it’s prob-

ably best to begin by slow trolling, keeping your eyes on the sonar and waiting until you begin to get some strikes. Trolling can be done in a couple of different ways, with the most common approach being to place your rod or rods in a rod holder or to simply hold the rod while the offering trails behind the boat. You can also employ both techniques by holding one rod and placing two in the rod holders. Using three rods at once is permissible. To be honest, I usually fish with one rod in the holder and one in my hand. I like to hold one rod because I can feel the strike and see the rod tip move. It’s important when you are trolling that you try to work your lures at different depths. When crappie fishing, you can’t fish too big a lure, so that weight may be insucient; no problem-just add a split shot or two a foot or so above your offering to get the lure down deeper. We often fish with two jigs tied about two feet apart, so we already get deeper, and make our offering at two different depths at the same time. By the way, it does happen that you get two fish at the same time on that double

lure presentation, as you can see in the photo with my brother. I also ended up with a double.

If your trolling results in some steady strikes, try to hold that location and work it with some casting and slow retrieves, but keep that lure at the depth where the strikes occurred. A exible, ultralight open-faced spinning outﬁt with around four-poundtest line and eighth-ounce jigs is a good presentation.

My brother, Dave with a double.

On a glorious Sunday afternoon, two days removed from the season-long 100th anniversary celebration of baseball at Historic Bowman Field, it was a beehive of activity. Crosscutters players were getting to know one another between photo sessions and media interviews. Public Relations Director Gabe Sinicropi proudly showed oﬀ the diamond’s pristine condition, fans gathered for a Meet the Cutters opportunity, and Director of Concession Alex Swartz was penciling in the starting lineup of food and beverages available for fan consumption.

Scott Lowery

in saves with four and held opponents to a team low .185 batting average.

“I think the Draft League is a good stepping-stone for my baseball future and hopefully pro ball. It is a good chance to get some scouts’ eyes on me and show them what I can do.

Two days later, the defending Draft League champion West Virginia Black Bears came calling, and baseball was back!

Before it all began, the senior member on the Cutters roster, Will Bartkoski, a -year-old ’ righthanded pitcher from Georgia State University, smiled as he surveyed his new summer home.

“It is really nice here. I’ve seen a little bit of the city and the river. The weather is a little bit nicer here for sure. It is not as humid and hot.”

The big fellow appeared in 23 games for Georgia State, compiling a 5-2 record with an ERA of 3.92. He led the Panthers

“We had a real good season at Georgia State. It started out rocky, but we turned it around and played good baseball leading up to the conference tournament. Unfortunately, South Alabama knocked us out. But personally, it was a really good season. I had the chance to pitch as a reliever, a closer, and then a starter at the end of the season.

“I’ve been told my role with the Crosscutters will be as a back-end reliever and closer. I’m glad to be here and am really looking forward to the season.”

The twinkle in Sinicropi’s eyes and smile on his face was evident as he spoke of the facility’s new lighting system and outﬁeld fence.

“It will indeed be a lot brighter at Bowman Field this year, about two times brighter. The ﬁeld is lit up great. With LEDs, there isn’t as much light pollution, so the light spreads out less. In fact, in the stands, some of the areas will be a little darker. The lights are a big upgrade for

both the players and the fans watching the game.

“MLB had nothing to do with the new lights. We found that out late in the game in April. The city had an inspection done immediately, and it was deemed the lights needed to come down for safety reasons. This was a project that was not planned or mandated by MLB. It was done under duress in many ways. But these new lights are MLB standards for brightness.

“We also installed a padded outﬁeld wall since last year, which we’ve never had here. It has always been an old, rickety wooden plank wall. The fence is in the exact same position as it had been, so the dimensions are the same as they have been.”

In the concourse, Swartz took time to unveil his concession oﬀerings as he began his third season with the team. A Lewisburg native, he has been involved with food and beverage operations at various ballparks across the country since 2015.

“Prior to coming to Williamsport, I had been working in Durham, North Carolina. I had done an internship with the Cutters in 2013, and Gabe and I had kept in touch with one another. Gabe oﬀered me a chance to come to Williamsport and work for the Crosscutters, and it is nice to be home.

“We oﬀer a wide variety of food selections at the ballpark, but one of the biggest changes from last season is the addition of Chick-ﬁl-A. They will

operate a booth on the main concourse, and we are very excited to have them. We also have Gunzey’s, Lang Chocolates, a partnership with Bullfrog Brewery, along with a host of the traditional ballpark favorites.

“We’ve also scheduled food promotions throughout the season. Tuesdays are $2.50 Tuesdays, featuring hot dogs, bottles of water, candy, peanuts, etc. Wednesdays are Wing Wednesdays. Fans can get either a half-dozen or a dozen wings, which is the only day we have that oﬀer. Thirsty Thursdays oﬀer special prices on the 16-ounce beers we have throughout the ballpark.

“We have a staff of just under fifty employees that includes all the various support people needed to all phases of the concession operation. This includes the Diamond Wait staff who caters to the field-reserved seating areas. We do the best we can with our vendors to get people what they need.”

Asked about the star of his concession lineup, a veteran item topped the list.

“Even with the food variety we have available, you can never go wrong with a hot dog at a baseball game. They are the traditional ballpark food, and they remain our bestseller. Concessions are all about the choice of the fan, and we just really try to give them the best experience we can in the food and beverage world when they come to the ball game.”

Baseball at Bowman Field, 100 years old and going strong!

My apologies for missing last week’s paper. Early deadlines and I don’t do well. I am trying. I needed to have my copy in a few days prior. I totally left my lovely editor’s replacement hanging. I can’t tell you the number of folks who noticed my absence. At least ten reached out on Tuesday. Not kidding. Six of them were Amish. Thanks, guys. You guys make me blush. I can totally ﬁb and tell a bogus lie. But it will likely happen again. Sorry Steph. Congrats to all you teachers who survived. School is out for the summer. Thank heavens, guys. Those in education don’t get enough praise. Yes. They do well, but it is such a tough gig. You try it, Tim. I am so proud of my bride. She doesn’t

like the spotlight- so I refrain from using her name. Teach is fantastic, and she is great with her kids. The other night we snuck down to Sock to watch a coach’s pitch game. Her students were absolutely thrilled to see her in the stands. They were so happy. It was grand. Bravo. Did the stubborn gal from Muncy ﬁnally sign on the dotted line?

I was recently asked to tee it up in a few tournaments. I used to love golf, but now it is totally different. Yes. I still coach the team at Lycoming College — 21 years and counting. My youngsters keep me in the loop, but I don’t play much. No worries. My good friend BK is a beauty. BK and I attended school together, and he is outstanding. BK invites me to golf in the WCC Member-Guest every June. My

shirt is always tucked. Great memories. We were once contenders. I used to be good. Take a look at my scrapbook. Now I spend my time shaking hands and kissing babies. The atmosphere and format are super fun. Our lovely brides join us for a special evening. The golf course is always in exceptional condition.

BK and I snuck our way into the Championship Flight. What? Dude? How am I a 6 handicap? I

am a beached whale — way past my prime. Have you seen me lately? My window closed. I am thinking the WCC folks are out to get even. Several years ago, I was listed as a . We play five -hole matches. The goal is to win as many points as you can. I was golfing OK. Nothing crazy. Doing my best. I was hanging in there. But in the final round, I figured it out completely. A lightbulb switched. It was incredible. I couldn’t do wrong. I

was on ﬁre. I circled birdies and posted a smooth on the front . BK and I smacked our opponents.

We crushed their chances. Go repair an ankle. They were so mad. Rumors quickly spread. I inherited a new name. The Bagger Spence. Oh. I still hear about it. OK. I was just asked to come to the staging area. Here goes nothing. I just hope I don’t hit a car on Country Club Drive. This one is for all of the Little Leaguers who still have a dream. Recap next week? Only if the winners pay me. Cheers.
