Reduce the Risk of Lost Pets

Pets bring so much joy into our lives. It’s no surprise that, according to the American Pet Products Association, about 66% of U.S. households (roughly 86.9 million homes) had a pet in 2024. Even more telling—about 97% of pet owners consider their pets part of the family.

Bringing a pet into your home is a big deal. Beyond the financial commitment, it also takes time, attention, and care to keep them safe — including making sure they don’t get lost. The Animal Humane Society estimates that 1 in 3 pets will go missing at some point in their lives, and sadly, not all of them make it back home.

We are at a time of year where fireworks will be a common occurrence. And not all of our furry friends appreciate all the noise. So it’s going to be extra important to make sure that we are keeping our furbabies as safe and protected as possible.

Get pet identification. Take a multi-layered approach to identifying the pet, such as name and contact information printed on a collar tag. In addition, have the pet microchipped. A microchip is a small device about the size of a grain of rice that is implanted just under the skin. The microchip can be programmed to emit identification information about the animal when scanned. Pet parents should routinely check and update the chip’s data if they move or

if there is a change in phone number or pet ownership. Consider a GPS-enabled collar. Another great tool is attaching a GPS-enabled device to a pet collar. In the event the pet cannot be found, pet owners can track the animal’s location using a mobile phone.

You can also use Tiles in conjunction with your existing Life360 account to track pets in the app too!

Secure the home and yard. Check for any

apparent points of weakness around the home or yard. Is there a large gap between the bottom of the fence and the lawn that needs remedying? Is the gate latching securely or does it pop open? Are all window screens secure, or could they be pushed out from the inside? Curious animals can quickly turn into escape artists, especially if there is a wild animal to chase or a scent they want to investigate. Securing the home can cut down on potential problems. Utilize obedience training. Working with a certified dog trainer or cat behaviorist can teach the pet to curb an instinct to bolt. If they start to run off, training can help pets develop adequate recall skills to come back when called. Trainers also can teach techniques to quell pets’ desires to dart when a house or fence door is open.

Choose well-fitting collars and harnesses. A collar can be rendered useless if the pet is able to slip its head out, especially when a little pressure is applied. A martingale collar is a special collar that will safely tighten when the dog tries to pull away. When the dog loosens up the pull, the collar goes back to its comfortable position. Harnesses may be even more secure for escape artists because they attach around the midsection rather than the neck. Use leashes on pets. The animal should be on a leash whenever it is taken outdoors where there is no fence or secured area. Even the most well-trained pets may run off from time to time. Not to mention, leash laws exist in many areas for both the dog’s and people’s protection.

America 250 Free Concert To Be Held at Bandshell

Saturday, June 27

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Williamsport and Lycoming County have a wonderful, vibrant musical heritage. It seems appropriate to celebrate it as part of this nation’s 250th birthday. And so it will be on Saturday, June 27, at the Brandon Park Bandshell in Williamsport.

Organizers of the event don’t see it as “a consolation prize” to compensate for the lack of fireworks in the City of Williamsport this year, which have been moved to the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in Hughesville.

“This concert is a historic event for Lycoming County. More than 250 performers are coming together to celebrate 250 years of America, and I honestly don’t know that I’ll ever experience anything quite like it again in my lifetime,” Aliva Tagliaferri, a member of the America 250 Concert, told Webb Weekly.

She continued, “What I hope people understand is that this concert was never intended to replace a fireworks show or serve as a consolation prize. It is a celebration in its own right, one that has been months in the making. Hundreds of performers and musicians, along with a dedicated team of creative directors, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners, have worked together to create something truly special for our community.

“I hope people come ready to celebrate, embrace the patriotic spirit of the day, and appreciate the extraordinary talent that will take the stage. This is a once-in-a-generation event, and I hope attendees leave with a sense of pride in both our country and our community.”

The Celebration Concert, directed and produced by Walt Straiton, is to mark America’s Semiquincentennial, the country’s 250th birthday. The free community event will bring together a variety of musical acts,

including the Williamsport Summer Pops Orchestra, Repasz Band, the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra’s Billtown Brass, Uptown Music Collective, All County High School Band, combined Williamsport Civic Chorus, Williamsport Chamber Choir, County High School Choir, Fife and Drum Corps, and many more local musical acts.

In addition, the performance will include numbers from the Community Theatre League’s summer stock show, talent from St. John’s School of the Arts, a multi- service Color Guard, and a scene from “STOA” The Musical.

Joining the already popular Homemade Days in Brandon Park on June 27th, the celebratory concert will feature rotating musical acts throughout the day, beginning at 1 p.m., culminating in patriotic tunes at the Bandshell from 6- 8 p.m.

Veteran musician, conductor, and arranger Walt Straiton is the Executive Producer and Musical Director of this monumental musical event, and he said, “America’s 250th birthday provides a unique opportunity to celebrate both our nation and Lycoming County by bringing together a wide variety of longstanding musical

organizations from across our region. By sharing their collective gifts, these organizations help commemorate the rich and diverse musical heritage that has helped shape and define America throughout its history.”

He continued, “Two goals inspired the vision. First, to bring the entire community together through a musical celebration that showcases the breadth and depth of talent in our region, from individual performers such as Dylan Rockoff, Nicole Miele, and Mike Cashera to outstanding organizations including Billtown Brass, the Williamsport Chamber Choir, Williamsport Civic Chorus, West Branch Chorale, Uptown Music Collective, Saint John’s School of the Arts, and many others. Second, to bring renewed energy and attention back to Brandon Park, the site of memorable community concerts in the 1980s featuring artists such as Chuck Mangione, The Spinners, and Captain & Tennille, and once again make it a gathering place for shared experiences and great music.”

Straiton concluded by saying, “This concert showcases the incredible talent that contributes to the musical life of our region. It highlights the

breadth and depth of the artists and organizations that help make our community such a vibrant place to live, work, and visit.”

Ron Frick, past executive director of United Way of North Central PA, said, “A show like this requires a lot of professional staging, sound, lighting, infrastructure, and most importantly, safety to welcome thousands of people. That requires investment.”

The Celebration Concert is being funded through a mixture of sponsorships and donations. The concert committee launched a special fundraising campaign called the “Semiquincentennial Challenge: 250 Years. 250 Donors. 250 Dollars.”

Event Schedule:

• 1 p.m. – Wild Honey

• 2 p.m. – Repasz Band

• 3 p.m. – Uptown Music Collective

• 4 p.m. – Billtown Brass

• 5 p.m. – Uptown Music Collective

Parking Information:

Free parking for the evening concert will be available courtesy of Lycoming College. Attendees are encouraged to park in either the Lynn Science Center Lot or the Mulberry Street Lot on the

Lycoming College campus. Additional parking will also be available on surrounding streets and in public parking areas near Brandon Park.

A courtesy shuttle service between the Lycoming College parking lots and Brandon Park will be provided by River Valley Transit Authority (RVTA). Shuttle service will operate from 5 p.m. until approximately 9 p.m. Guests may board at RVTA stops along Mulberry Street.

The committee extends its appreciation to Lycoming College and River Valley Transit Authority for helping make this community celebration accessible and welcoming for attendees from throughout the region.

The America250PA Celebration Concert planning committee consists of Lycoming County Commissioners, Mayor Derek Slaughter; Jason Fink, Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce; Walt Straiton, Executive Producer/Musical Director; Michelle McKeowan, Associate Producer; Ron Frick, Community Volunteer / Fundraising Chair; Liz Vollman, Office of Senator Gene Yaw; Carrie Pauling, Office of Representative Jamie Flick; and Office of Representative Joe Hamm.

1937 Class Give Funds to Install Radio Equipment

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Permanent radio broadcasting equipment is to be installed on the platform of the Williamsport Senior High School this summer, J.E. Nancarrow, principal announced today.

It is to be the gift to the school from the Class of 1937 which graduated one week ago.

Members of the class voted to turn over to the school board a trust fund of $300 to be developed and expended in the development and improvement of radio broadcasting in the school.

The first step in such a program, Mr. Nancarrow said today is the installation on the platform at all points that will permit clear transmission of any program. At present, temporary connections are available for a single centrally located microphone, which

does not always afford satisfactory reception over the entire platform.

Installation is expected to be completed by the time school opens in the fall, and will be the initial step of preparing every room for radio reception.

It was pointed out by Mr. Nancarrow that seating capacity is sufficient for 1,000 students. The enrollment for the term just closed was 1,750, so that each day there were 750 students who could not go to chapel exercises no matter how important or pleasant the program was to be.

The ultimate plan it was indicated, is to equip the platform so that any chapel program can be received in the classroom.

Such an arrangement would involve an expenditure of several thousand dollars and will have to depend on future gifts.

County Hall Corner Reading the Fine Print on Data Centers

By Blair Steward

The Lycoming County Commissioners convened for their weekly public meeting with an urgent message for local townships. The meeting focused significant attention on a critical warning regarding zoning laws and data centers. A question from an area resident about upcoming technological developments opened the door to an intense discussion about the future of the region. The commissioners made it clear that municipalities need to act now to protect their communities from developments they may not be prepared to handle.

Data center corporations are actively exploring Lycoming County, the board stated plainly. These massive operations require enormous amounts of electricity, water, and other resources to function. Without proper zoning protections already in place, townships risk losing control over where these facilities can be built. Once a corporation identifies a location and the land is not legally restricted, a township’s ability to prevent construction becomes severely limited. The commissioners urged all municipalities to immediately implement or update their local zoning ordinances to establish clear boundaries around where

such developments can occur.

The warning carries weight because of what has already happened in neighboring Northumberland County. Residents there staged heavy protests against data center developments due to legitimate concerns about noise pollution and environmental impacts. The controversy that erupted could have been prevented through proactive zoning measures established before the corporations arrived. Now, as those same companies explore opportunities in Lycoming County, the commissioners want to ensure that local control remains in the hands of the people who actually live in these townships.

This is not about rejecting progress or technological advancement. Data centers represent significant economic activity and potential tax revenue for counties. The issue is about making deliberate choices as a community rather than having choices made for you. A township with clear zoning ordinances can decide whether data centers are welcome and under what conditions they can operate. A township without those protections becomes a target for any corporation looking for available land, and by the time community members object, legal options have narrowed considerably.

Quinn is a relationship-driven real estate agent who believes home is more than just a place. As an Army veteran, she brings adaptability, resilience, and a strong understanding of transition and relocation to every client she works with. With a background in new construction, Quinn understands the homebuilding process from the inside out. She knows that home is not a one-size-fits-all, but something deeply personal.

Now rooted in Lycoming County, Quinn is raising her daughter, and embracing this season of building a life centered around family. She’s passionate about helping people find spaces that truly fit their life, whether they’re planting roots or starting a new chapter.

COUNTY HALL

The commissioners also advanced plans for a major new government and community building in South Williamsport. This facility will house localized county assets and provide space for both governmental functions and community services. The building represents an investment in the infrastructure of the county, ensuring that essential services remain accessible and properly staffed. Centralizing certain operations in South Williamsport provides convenience for residents while improving the efficiency of county government. The decision to move forward reflects the commissioners’ commitment to maintaining physical infrastructure that serves the public

good.

Alongside these broader policy discussions, the board finalized three subrecipient agreements that provide vital county funding allocations to STEP, Inc. This social service organization works directly with local families facing various challenges. The funding ensures that STEP can continue delivering the programs and services that vulnerable residents depend on. From basic assistance to specialized support, these services form a safety net for the community. By formalizing the funding agreements, the commissioners secured the financial foundation that allows STEP to plan for the future and serve families with confidence.

The combination of long-term planning and immediate protective measures reflects how the commissioners think about governance. They address urgent threats like uncontrolled data center development while simultaneously investing in infrastructure and social services. These decisions may seem disconnected, but they share a common purpose. The commissioners are working to preserve local control, strengthen community institutions, and ensure that Lycoming County develops in ways that residents actually want rather than in ways dictated by outside corporate interests. The weekly public meetings continue to be where these vital discussions occur. When residents attend and ask questions, they prompt commissioners to address issues that might otherwise remain silent. The

question about technological developments opened the conversation about data centers and zoning, allowing the board to issue a timely warning that could shape the future of multiple townships. This is precisely how local government should function, with residents engaging and officials responding with clear guidance and protective action. Public meetings continue every Thursday at 10:00 a.m. in the Third Street Plaza Commissioners Board Room in Williamsport. The sessions are also broadcast on the Lycoming County Government YouTube channel for those unable to attend in person. These meetings remain the primary place where residents can see exactly how their elected officials are making decisions that affect the entire county.

A Year of Being James Author?

am almost a full year into writing these weekly articles.

Honestly, it was something I was not sure about doing at first. When I felt God calling me to start writing and brought the idea to my wife, I think we were both a little unsure.

Would people read them? Would I run out of things to write about? Would anyone care what I had to say?

Jimmy Webb III

But I am glad I listened to that calling.

Writing these articles has become something I genuinely enjoy, and I am incredibly thankful for all of you who read them, share them, and reach out with positive feedback. It means more than you know. Some of you stop me in public, some send me messages, and some mention an article weeks later. Every time, it means a lot to me.

As I look back on the past year, I thought it would be fun to revisit some of my favorite articles and the lessons that came from them. If any of these sound interesting, you can find them at webbweekly.com.

October 8, 2025 – “Writer’s Block”

In one of my first articles, I talked about God doing new things in our

lives and how we should not be afraid to trust Him. I wrote about Isaiah 43:18-19 and how God can take the toughest, driest, and most barren places in our lives and turn them into something fruitful.

November 12, 2025 –“Godparents”

This article was about the importance of Godparents and how thankful I am for mine. I also announced that my buddy Avery would be Beau’s Godfather. Since then, Lauren and I have also been blessed to choose Emily Tripoli as his Godmother.

December 17, 2025 – “Pride in Yourself”

I talked about taking pride in yourself, your appearance, and showing respect to both yourself and others. I still enjoy putting together a good outfit and looking sharp.

January 14, 2026 – “Purpose > Opinion”

This remains one of my favorite articles. I wrote about how God has a purpose for all of us and how the opinions of others should not distract us from that purpose.

See AUTHOR on Page 16

January 21, 2026 – “Thankful and Grateful”

This was a special one. I got to write about welcoming Beau into the world and becoming a dad. Looking back now, it is hard to believe how much he has grown already.

March 4, 2026 – “Lord Give Me a Sign”

This article was about receiving a sign from God when I least expected it. I was facing a difficult decision, and the answer I received was not necessarily the one I wanted, but it was the one I needed.

March 11, 2026 – “From Not Wanting to Go to Never Wanting to Leave”

This one was about trusting your parents. Sometimes the things we resist the most end up shaping us the most.

April 22, 2026 – “Just Wait Until You Have Kids”

I challenged the idea that having kids means you stop investing in yourself. Your kids deserve the best version of you possible.

May 13, 2026 – “Blessed Beyond the Finish Line”

This one was about gratitude. I shared how much it meant to me when my parents dropped everything and traveled to Pittsburgh with me so I could run a half marathon. I also talked about how God was alive in Pittsburgh that weekend.

May 27, 2026 – “Make Your Kids Play Sports”

I still stand by this one. Sports teach accountability, discipline, teamwork, confidence, and how to handle failure. Most kids will never become professional athletes, but every kid will become an adult.

June 3, 2026 – “Trusted with Much”

One of my most recent favorites. I

had the incredible honor of officiating my friend Isaac’s wedding. It taught me how the little moments of friendship and trust over the years can lead to something much bigger.

As I look back over this first year of writing, I am proud that ...

God has been present in every article. My mom gave me a Bible verse years ago that has stuck with me ever since: “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” — Proverbs 16:9

Looking back now, I can see that verse all over this past year. I had my plans. God had better ones.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

title of this

which is a renowned line from J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel, The Fellowship of the Ring, certainly rings true for me — although I have been known to become somewhat disoriented while wandering, especially in the woods.

Melinda Wentzel

At any rate, one of my favorite activities is to try to get my steps in — usually walking around my neighborhood, but I’ll walk practically anywhere if it’s not too hilly. Typically, the weather dictates specifically where I’ll go and since I acknowledge that I can no longer stand the heat, I refrain from walking outdoors when the temperature is akin to the surface of the sun. That goes for the dead of winter, too, when it’s windy or icy or unbearably cold. Instead, my husband and I opt for doing laps around the indoor track at Lycoming College — a wonderful facility that we are so fortunate to be able to use. As an added bonus, we get to interact with delightful college students and faculty as we cruise around the oval together,

overlooking an enormous gymnasium below. They even pipe in music that permeates the entire space, although we usually bring our own tunes. Naturally, the college kids lap me (usually running like the wind) which I take in stride because I have them by several decades, never mind their superior e ibility and lung capacity. But they never lord it over me, which I appreciate greatly. hey s ile and so eti es e en offer words of encouragement or a friendly “hello.”

But sometimes it’s even too hot to walk there, as the outdoor heat tends to seep inside, especially on sunny days. And let us not forget my wretched hot flashes. I know I haven’t. I suppose I could join a gym, where it’s likely air-conditioned, and use a treadmill to my heart’s content. But I know myself. I signed up for a gym membership years ago, fully intending to frequent said facility and never once did so. I don’t know why e actly only know that. So, for me, that would be a

WHY ATTEND?

Ihave a question for you, younger people. Do you remember when we were younger, how our grandparents loved sitting on the porch, sipping sweet tea, watching the birds, and just visiting? It was so simple, and yet brought them so much joy. How we thought at that time how boring it was, but because they were our grandparents and “old,” so it’s just in their nature? Yeah, I know you know what I am talking about. Well, I’m here to tell you that they knew what they were doing. Getting in bed early, comfy shoes growing pretty owers and perfect lines in lawns are really growing on me.

Back in April, when we were out back building our pavilion, a hummingbird ew by really didn t thin twice about it. After it was built and we were sitting underneath it, it came back. My hubby and I looked at each other, and he said we should get a hummingbird feeder to hang off our new building agreed but we didn’t run and get one immediately. A few weeks later, we went to Lowe’s to pick up supplies for our garden, and I suggested getting a bird bath. Chris looked at me with the biggest smile and said, “You are turning into an old lady wanting to get a bird bath!”

I laughed and said, “Well, I like the old lady life!”

Feeding our animals and watching them brings me so much joy. I can’t even tell you. I have always been an animal lover. Our location, where we live, is about seven minutes from town, but out enough to hear the frogs and crickets, see the beautiful night sky, and not have neighbors on top of us. It’s pretty quiet. ur property surrounds two fields and our home is nestled in a wooded area, with plenty of wildlife.

Our new pavilion sits out back, where we can just sit and watch all our wildlife creatures at any time.

During the day, we have a crazy family of squirrels who live to play and wrestle each other. They are hilarious to watch. Fat Gus has been around for years. You should see the belly on him. He didn’t get the name Fat Gus for no reason. He sits around the corn feed with his little hands just resting on his white, chubby belly like it’s a table.

The chippies scamper throughout the holes in nearby trees to stay safe from our outdoor kitties that hang around the area. They aren’t our cats, but we will just call them the neighborhood kitties. They get scraps, too.

We have birds galore, and my favorites

HUMPBACK FRESH MARKET

are my crows. Yes, crows. Those buggers are so smart! They stay perched on the trees until I throw their food out, then they y down for their breakfast. It’s like they know exactly when it’s coming. They know where the good stuff is

We get deer often during the morning and evening hours. Right now, we have a young button buck that always seems to be around, along with twin yearlings. I swear our woods are a haven for the deer. Anytime I go out for a walk on our paths with my dog Bear, I always seem to kick deer out. I love that they feel safe on our property.

In the evening, everything comes in from crazy coons, possums, red foxes, and occasionally a few bears. The bears were around a lot last year. We had them almost every night for weeks last fall. There isn’t much we don’t see other than turkey. The closest turkey we have is right up the road, and his name is Luke Perry. Haha! (Me and my brother’s inside joke!)

So, you get the picture of how much I love seeing all these sweet babies every day.

Well, anyway, while at Lowe’s, we

passed the hummingbird feeders and Chris said, “Hey, let’s get a hummingbird feeder!” I replied as only I could, “OK, old man. Let’s do it!”

A few Mondays ago, I sat outside under our pavilion and worked on my client check-ins. It was a gorgeous day. Chris had made the food for the hummingbird feeder and hung it out on Sunday. I thought it was cute how he was anxious to get it up. That night, he had asked me if I had seen a hummingbird at all at the feeder, and I hadn’t.

As I sat there on Monday doing a voice memo for a check-in, I swore there was a bumblebee behind me. I turned and looked, and here was this sweet itty-bitty hummingbird eating from our new feeder — a beautiful white and gray color. While recording for a client, I paused. I had to record this baby at the feeder and send it to my hubby! I was so excited about this bird that ust ew in and found its beautiful crystal-blue feeder within 24 hours. sat there tal ing to it as it ew right above me, with no fear at all. It buzzed around, looking at me, acting like it was thanking me.

Y’all, sometimes I truly feel like Snow White.

But it was too funny how excited I got o er a si ple hu ingbird ying in to get something to eat. We googled how

to care for them and keep their feed safe. I enjoy having this sweet, new little itty-bitty creature coming in and now bringing his friends! Call me old, but is the older life really that bad? I think not. I’m 40, and I’m here for it.

I’ll take my back porch sitting, watching my animals while sipping on a cold or hot beverage any day. The older I get, the more I just want a simple life, including making homemade jams.

Our grandparents knew what they were talking about, it’s life!!

y dog ear opped down while was taking the strawberry jam picture, and I just thought it was too precious not to share!*

Strawberry Jam

Ingredients:

• 2 cups crushed strawberries (buy 1 qt. fully ripe strawberries)

• 4 cups sugar, measured into a separate bowl

• 3/4 cup water

• 1 pkg. Sure-Jell Original Premium Fruit Pectin

Directions:

Rinse 5 (1-cup) plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly. Remove and discard strawberry stems. Crush strawberries thoroughly, 1 cup at a time. Measure exactly 2 cups of prepared fruit into a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min, stirring occasionally.

Mix water and SURE-JELL Original Premium Fruit Pectin in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling and stirring 1 min. Add to fruit mixture; stir 3 min., or until most of the sugar is dissolved. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)

Fill containers immediately to within inch of tops ipe off the top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 years. (If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.)

Beauty Essentials Part 1

While it’s fun to try different products and samples, it takes actual wor to find those core lotions, potions, and eye shadow palettes that do the real work of helping you maintain a healthy skin barrier and put your best face and hair forward to meet the day. In other words, it’s a tall order to earn a permanent spot in the beauty routine, or at least it should be when you prioritize health and beauty. Let’s explore a few of the workhorses for skincare, cosmetics, and body products, with more to come in part 2.

really impacted pores from Peach Slices, also on Amazon. Ulta has Hero Cosmetics Might Patch. These are all meant to be worn overnight. However, I have seen teenage people embrace the patch life with Starface’s Hydro-Star Patches as an accessory while they are out and about. As the name suggests, these patches are star-shaped and come in a variety of colors. So, if you’ve seen what look like star-shaped stickers on the face of an adolescent, now you know!

First up, a product I wish had been available when I was a teenager: blemish patches. You pop a patch over the start of a pimple/clogged pore and go to bed. In the morning, it’s as if it’s been drained overnight! Genius! Along with blemish patches, don’t sleep on the good old-fashioned nose strips to clean out, again overnight, the pores along your nostrils. I use patches as needed and always have a supply in my medicine cabinet. I like the patches from Cosrx on Amazon and the Deep Blemish Microdarts for

Next up, serum. Whether it’s part of your morning, evening, or both routines, a good serum is meant to work like a treatment and nourish the skin. In fact, you may use multiple serums to address multiple issues. What serum works best depends on ingredients. You want to, in general, look for a product that contains hyaluronic acid for hydration, peptides, and vitamins. I stay away from retinol products and instead lean toward snailmucus-based options, like Corsx’s Snail Mucin Repairing Serum for its antiaging properties. If you’re in the market for a heavy hitter of retinol, then check

out SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic serum. For acne-prone or oilier skin, there’s The Ordinary’s Niacinamide Serum available at Sephora.

From serums to creams. A good hydrating moisturizer, especially if you tend not to wear makeup, is an essential part of your skincare routine. Or, even if you do wear makeup, keeping your s in happy benefits your appearance with or without foundation. A rich cream moisturizer should ground your makeup prep and be allowed to absorb before the final step of sunscreen for all skin types. Look at Eucerin’s Q10 AntiWrinkle Face Cream. This moisturizer is fragrance-free and won’t clog pores. If your skin barrier needs extra oomph, check out Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane. The non-greasy texture delivers long-lasting hydration. The key to a rich moisturizer is again allowing it to absorb.

Another cream to consider is hand cream. Our hands go through a lot and can show wear and tear more readily, so a good and protective hand lotion can help soften and smooth them. Hand crea is ost effecti e when applied routinely throughout the day. You can carry a travel-sized tube of something like The Body Shop’s Shea Hand Balm to keep your hands nourished with

its non-sticky, fast-absorbing lotion. There’s also Drunk Elephant’s Therabu Buttered Reparative Hand Cream, which purports to diminish signs of aging. Before bed, I like to apply Green Goo’s Hand Goo. Not only is this an effecti e daily bal but it also helps heal cuts, scrapes, and blisters on other areas. Ideally, you’d use hand lotion after every wash.

And speaking of washing, whether you shower in the morning or before bed, regular bar soap may not always give your skin what it needs. For sensitive skin, there’s Native’s Body ash that offers sulfate free suds and delivers gentle freshness. You can pick up the unscented option or choose from several dozen scent varieties like Key Lime & Sugar or Palm Leaf & Agave. For eczema-prone skin, there’s Eczema Honey’s Soothing Body Wash, which is ultra-mild and hydrates irritated skin while preserving your natural oils. For acne-prone skin, there’s Iota’s Supervitamin Body Wash+ Soothing, a fragrance-free, pH-balanced prebiotic cleanser made with Egyptian chamomile to clean, clear, and soothe. his is the first half of the essentials for a standard beauty routine. We’ll continue the core lineup of product types in part 2!

Fifth of July: Repasz Honors Imperial Teteques

By Joseph W. Smith III

As Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band highlights both national and local history through the summer of 2026, one Central PA ensemble will get special attention on July 5.

The Williamsport Scottish Rite Imperial Teteques Band, once the nation’s oldest Masonic band, will be honored with a free 7 p.m. concert that Sunday — performed where the

Teteques played for many decades: the Scottish Rite Auditorium, 348 Market St., Williamsport.

Founded in 1897 and lasting nearly 120 years before disbanding in 2016, the ete ues were erica s first asonic band. The ensemble emerged from an 1894 brass group nicknamed the “Triple Tongued Quartet” — later abbreviated to TTQ, or “Teteques,” as a monicker for the entire band.

An early Teteque supporter and benefactor was local businessman and

sports-booster J. Walton Bowman — for whom Williamsport’s historic baseball field is na ed

“The Imperial Teteque Band played a variety of music including traditional marches, contemporary and classic compositions for concert band and wind ensemble, transcriptions of movie scores, novelty tunes, and patriotic arrangements,” says Williamsport Scottish Rite Business Manager & Events Coordinator Ellie J. Hubbard. “Their original co positions in uenced and impacted the musical world well beyond the region.”

While the band included both Masons and non-Masons of all ages, it was strictly an all-male ensemble until 2000. Among the women who joined was 62year Repasz member Judy Shellenberger — who also serves as the Repasz business manager.

“I was a younger musician,” she recalls, “and I learned a lot from playing with the older, experienced Teteque musicians — especially when playing in a jazz or swing style.”

“I enjoyed the Teteque Band,” agrees 52-year Repasz trumpeter Philip W. Herfort. “Especially since they were playing the same concert for three days in a row filling the cottish Rite auditorium.”

Herfort adds that much of Teteque’s success during his tenure was due to business manager Carl Sweeley — son of local musician Charles, who worked on

the well-known “Repasz Band March.”

Speaking of which: While Repasz’s summer program covers patriotic tunes for America’s semiquintennial, it also frontlines local composers and arrangers. f particular significance that e ening will be the “Imperial Teteques” two-step, written for the titular ensemble in 1908. That march was penned by Frank H. Losey, who served as editor-in-chief for the Vandersloot Music Co., located on Third Street in Williamsport — with an o ce on in an lley in anhattan

According to Wikipedia, Losey is “credited with over 400 compositions and 2,500 arrangements…. In 1919, Thomas Edison selected Losey to be the music adviser for Edison’s phonograph company. He was also approached by Henry Ford to arrange music for the Ford Orchestra in Detroit.”

ther local usic figures on the Repasz summer program include Albert J. Nacinovich, Preston Gowers, C. D. Henninger and John Hazel — with marches written in honor of Brandon Park, Eagles Mere and the Millionaires (the city’s one-time Tri-State League baseball team).

Former Teteque players who attend July 5 will be honored from the stage. That concert is free and open to the public. Other summer shows include 7/7 at the Williamsport Home (6:30 p.m.); 7/10 at WeCare in Montoursville (6 p.m.); 8/2 in Brandon Park (7 p.m.); and the Little League Parade on Aug. 18.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure poses significant health risks for people of all ages, but there are effective ways to both prevent and manage this “silent killer” by working with a health care professional to make lifestyle changes.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is when the force of blood flowing through blood vessels is consistently too high. This condition makes the heart work harder than normal and can damage ar-

teries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and other health problems.

High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for stroke and heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Strengthening evidence also shows high blood pressure is linked to risk of cognitive decline and dementia, which is why the American Heart Association is working to increase awareness and encourage people to manage blood pres-

sure. Protect your heart and brain both now and in the future with this information and wellness advice.

Who Can Have High Blood Pressure?

Anyone can develop high blood pressure, which is why it’s encouraged for everyone – in all age groups, including children and young adults – to have their blood pressure checked at annual physicals or wellness checkups. For those with a history of high blood pressure or risk factors for developing the condition, more frequent measurements may be recommended.

Major risk factors for high blood pressure include excess weight, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, lack of physical activity, alcohol consumption and a diet high in sodium and low in potassium.

Nearly half of adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure and many don’t even know it. Of those with high blood pressure, about 75% don’t have the condition under control. Because it typically shows no symptoms, it’s often called a “silent killer.”

How is Blood Pressure Checked?

To get the best blood pressure reading, sit in a chair with support for your back with both feet flat on the ground.

Use a validated, automatic, cuff-style, upper-arm monitor. Remove clothing over the arm that will be used and rest for at least 5 minutes. Extend your arm and support it at heart level while staying quiet and still then take multiple readings and record the results. Aim to measure at the same time each day.

For most adults, a normal blood pressure reading should be less than 120/80 mm Hg.

What Happens After a High Blood Pressure Diagnosis?

Recognizing and taking quick action to control high blood pressure can significantly lower the risk of severe health consequences, including heart attack and stroke, and improve overall health. If you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure, work with a health care professional to design a treatment plan that works for you. It may include lifestyle changes to your diet or activity levels or medication.

How Can High Blood Pressure Be Prevented or Managed?

Preventing high blood pressure is possible. Talk with a health care professional to create a plan that works for you, which may include small steps like eating a hearthealthy diet, staying active and maintaining a healthy weight.

For those diagnosed with high blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight by staying active (at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week) and eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains are important. Even losing 5% of your weight can help improve blood pressure.

It’s also important to reduce or avoid alcohol consumption and tobacco use. Consider stress-reducing activities, including meditation, breathing control or yoga. For many individuals, adhering to prescribed medications is essential to effectively control blood pressure and reduce the risk of serious health complications.

SDoesn’t Land the Spaceship

teven Spielberg stands among cinema’s greatest directors, having given us some of the most entertaining movies ever made. Unfortunately, Disclosure Day isn’t one of them.

Released to a strong bo o ce on une 11, the director’s latest doesn’t even rise to the level of his recent good-not-great offerings ridge of pies Ready layer One, Catch Me If You Can, etc.).

In fact, with such a strong pedigree — not

only the accomplished director, but also a terrific cast eteran writer and brie y out of-retirement composer — Disclosure Day struck me as profoundly disappointing.

It’s another alien-visitation movie — a topic Spielberg has addressed in such hits as E.T., Close Encounters and even the more pessimistic War of the Worlds. I’m hesitant to specify much about the story, since previews played it close to the vest. u ce it to say that DD so ehow has both too much plot, and too little.

It begins with what can politely be described as a cold-start, taking forever

to get off the ground while piling on one unexplained mystery after another — with precious little action. Rather surprising fro the an who in aws and Raiders gave us two of Hollywood’s most e orable and effecti e openings.)

Many of these mysteries — in particular, the aliens’ intimate knowledge of our personal lives — are left unaddressed by the up-in-the-air ending; yet despite all this obfuscation, most of the movie is just an overlong chase-scene — and not a very good one at that.

Honestly, the third or fourth time those “scary” black cars pulled up, I laughed out loud. Not once had these villains managed even a smidgen of skill or intelligence in capturing the heroes. Hasn’t anyone ever heard of a back door??

so impressive that one must blame DD’s failure not on the man credited with the script, but rather on the one who came up with the original story: Spielberg himself. Happily, DD manages to sidestep boredom with a sensational cast. Emily lunt who apparently can do ust about anything, is brilliant as a TV meteorologist who suddenly gains unearthly abilities. Colin Firth, still looking sharp at 65, plays the somewhat nuanced bad guy trying to prevent knowledge of the aliens from getting out.

he fil also has strong wor by e ewson ono s daughter and yatt Russell, son of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell — though its best performance is from the red-hot Colman Domingo as a sympathetic behind-the-scenes hero.

And speaking of past glories: Some of my high hopes for DD were inspired by its screenwriter, David Koepp — who penned not only urassic ar but also the original pider an as well as the first ission Impossible. Indeed, Koepp’s resume is

Spielberg’s long-time composer — year old ohn illia s ca e out of retire ent to score the fil though this music doesn’t feel like anything special. isual effects on the other hand are all first rate particularly in the final scene That striking sequence — with black-andwhite footage harking back to Roswell, plus a blink-and-miss-it cameo from Devil’s Tower — pays handsome homage to fifties sci fi and again in o es so e of Spielberg’s former glory. ut after inutes of speeding cars and extraterrestrial gobbledygook, I sure wanted ore than a one word finale Google indicates that Spielberg’s next fil will be a estern which would be nice.

Uptown Music Collective Accepting Scholarship Applications

The Uptown Music Collective, the area’s premier nonprofit school of music, is now accepting scholarship applications for its 2026-2027 school year, which will begin in September. This year, the Collective is offering 13 needsand merit-based scholarships to currently enrolled students, as well as new students wishing to enroll in the school for the upcoming year. All scholarships that are being offered will cover one full year at the school of music. Current scholarship stewards include Angelina’s Song, Geisinger’s Janet Weis Children’s Hospital, Brickyard/Stonehouse, UPMC North Central Pa, UPMC Health Plan, Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships, Chartwell Hotels LLC, Kiessling Group of Janney Montgomery Scott, The Miller Family, Miele Amusements, The Engle Family, The Gilberti Family and the Uptown Music Collective.

In the early days of the school, founder Dave Brumbaugh would teach students who couldn’t afford to pay at no cost. They just needed to show the desire to learn and the discipline to work hard at their craft. In return, he expected them to excel at their studies; be respectful; clean and take care of the school; help with organizational tasks; and, when ready, to teach their peers. That idea of making high-quality music education available to everyone – regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or financial status – sits at the core of what the Collective does. Through

the UMC Scholarship and Financial Aid programs, UMC offers dynamic music education to any student that is willing to work hard and remains committed to never turning away a deserving student because of their inability to pay.

In 2009, the Collective offered its first official scholarship, The Alice Hileman Memorial Scholarship, which was created and funded by a generous anonymous donor. That scholarship was soon followed by the Lew Gilberti Memorial Scholarship, created by family and friends in memory of local businessman and musician Lew Gilberti. Several years ago, the Uptown Music Collective increased its scholarship offerings and formalized a new sliding scale discount rate, which allows the school to help even more students in need. Aside from the generous donations of individuals and local businesses, the financial aid being offered is the result of the school’s highly successful Scholarship Fundraising Concert, held for the past 10 winters at the Community Arts Center.

The Uptown Music Collective has continued to grow for more than 25 years from what many once called “the best-kept secret in the Williamsport area” to one of the area’s most highly respected nonprofit educational organizations. The school is dedicated to providing a well-rounded education to students of all ages, from children as young as 3 years old to retired adults and everyone in-between. The Collective is known for its

positive peer groups, inspiring teachers and a diverse multitude of performance opportunities.

Although the Collective is known for highly talented student performers, there is no previous experience needed to begin enrollment at the Collective.

“If a student has an interest in music, we will find a way to give them every opportunity to become a student of the Uptown Music Collective,” said Jared Mondell, assistant executive director of the Collective. “Finances should never be a barrier. With that said, we encourage families to take the time to apply for financial support if cost is an issue. If a student is not eligible for a full scholarship, our financial aid program has helped countless families offset the cost of tuition.”

The Collective feels strongly about the role of music in creating well-rounded, thoughtful young people and works to establish characteristics such as self-discipline and personal responsibility in each of its students through healthy habits like practice and self-control. Uptown Music Collective students consistently perform at high levels not only musically, but also in their respective schools and as valuable members of other community organizations.

The deadline to apply for this round of scholarships is July 5, 2026. Scholarships will be awarded in mid-July. For more information about the Collective’s scholarship program, email jared@uptownmusic.org or visit www.uptownmusic.org/scholarshipapplication.

The Roving Sportsman… Seeking Permission to Hunt

By Jon Pries

Hunters today have three basic options for where to hunt. There is public land, such as our Pennsylvania state game lands and state forests, but they can sometimes be crowded by other hunters whom you don’t know, and you can’t be too sure they are ethical sportsmen. You could join a hunting camp or buy into a lease, but that can be expensive. That leaves private land, which is plentiful, but it can be tricky to get permission from a landowner to access their property for hunting. There are a few things to keep in mind if you decide to try to line up some private property for this coming fall season.

a e a good first i pression Don t show up on the farmer’s porch steps the day before hunting season and expect to be welcome. Such short notice is disrespectful to a landowner. Over the summer months is the

ideal time to attempt to gain access to a new hunting property. Instead of dropping by just before hunting season, go now in hopes of gaining access to hunt coyotes or groundhogs. Most landowners would be very happy to have someone help eliminate groundhogs, which burrow under the foundations of buildings or dig holes in pastures used by their cattle. Very few property owners would balk at the idea of someone eliminating coyotes on their land. Begin a relationship with a landowner by reducing the number of varmints on his land, and it just might lead to a friendship that allows access for fall turkey or deer hunting.

Farmers and landowners don’t just sit around idly, passing the time. They are busy! There is always work to do. If you want to build a good relationship offer to help with the work being done. Perhaps you could volunteer some time to help cut and split firewood or aid hi in clearing

his trails and logging roads. Volunteer your time and let him come up with a suggestion or two where he could use your help. When you do show up to help, don’t arrive empty-handed! Bring along a case of his favorite beverage, or stop by the local donut shop and pic up so e coffee and an assortment of donuts to start the day with. It helps to show you really appreciate his giving you permission to hunt.

Yes, farmers are busy, and sometimes too busy to take time to hunt. But they may very well like to have some fresh venison steaks or backstrap to serve for dinner! Sharing your harvest, especially when it comes from their property, can go a long way toward building a long-term relationship.

If you are having a picnic this summer, make sure you invite your new landowner friend and his family. The time you will spend together at a cookout will go a long way in strengthening your friendship. If you are fortunate enough to gain permission to hunt turkey, deer, or bear then for hea en s sa e offer to share the harvest! Even if the

landowner says no to the offer of fresh organic meat that came from their property, you can still show up with a nice fresh out of the oven roast that he can enjoy for dinner.

Above all, be respectful. Make sure you completely understand any particular things the landowner will expect from you. Be certain what you are allowed to hunt and what they would prefer you not hunt. Are there any days of the week that they have already reserved for someone else, or a family member, or will you be allowed access anytime? Make sure you know where you can and cannot par a ehicle ffer to call ahead of time so the landowner knows when you will be there and is not surprised to see you walking out of his woods or through his fields re there any places on the property that are off li its to you? Establishing these boundaries and guidelines shows the landowner that you respect them and will respect their wishes.

Gaining access to a new hunting property is not all that di cult when you use common sense, show respect, and act responsibly.

My reason for that approach is to choose the right e uip ent lures and presentation to accomplish a successful trip. This approach is especially true when I plan to wade a stream for trout, since what you carry is uite li ited

rue if you are heading out to a lake or river in a boat of some kind, you have a lot more leeway to carry additional e uip ent so if you wish you ay change your approach and your e uip ent and pursue a different species of fish

Almost every time my wife and I, or and a fishing buddy head out on a lake, we’ve already pretty much ade up our ind what fish we are after.

owe er e en though we ha e already made up our minds as to

what particular species or species of fish we intend to target it s not at all unusual to catch so ething you didn t expect. Quite often, my wife and I will head to a lake with plans to go after panfish especially crappies bluegills and perch. They are fun to catch and a e a great meal, but because they are s aller fish with so ewhat s aller ouths it s i portant to gear your e uip ent and lure presentations down to a smaller size.

ast wee in our pursuit of panfish on a lake, my wife, Sheila, and I were fishing with one of our usual lures using ultralight spinning outfits and pound test line e were using small one-sixteenth- or one-thirtysecond si e igs with a soft plastic tube.

s usual when you feel that light tap, and you set the hook, you then begin reeling in that feisty little panfish but once in a while you get a surprise when you set that hook.

Ken Hunter

Instead of that jerky little tug, the rod bends a lot more than expected, and it almost feels like you hooked a log on the bottom of the lake. This past week, my wife surprised us with a pretty nice largemouth bass. A couple of years ago, we were fishing a different la e for panfish when Sheila set the hook, and again, we thought she might be hooked up on the bottom. When the line began to move and throb, however, she realized she was into something big. As it turned out, she landed a large walleye in the mid-20s range — not only an unexpected hookup but a fortunate battle and successful landing.

re e ber fishing the us uehanna River once years ago, targeting s all outh bass with a yrod and surface poppers. Poppers imitate a s all frog oating and struggling on the surface, and bass will often attack that surface action. There was a surge under y popper and it was uic ly gobbled up. I set the hook as usual, but I immediately knew I was into so ething uch bigger fter uite an intense battle, I was able to bring

the large musky up alongside the boat, where the big-toothed critter snapped off y lure and too off Hooking that musky was certainly unexpected, but losing it was not. Obviously, no matter how much we plan to e ecute a particular fishing outing, the unexpected can happen, but to be honest, those hooked-up surprises can add to the excitement of a fishing outing so be prepared it doesn’t always go as planned.

devoted wrestling fan, listening to the game, called the radio station, telling them to tell that dumb broadcaster, t s the at not the oor

We shared many years together, radio broadcasting games at the Little League Baseball World Series, an event both of us truly loved. Mike was especially proud after one game we did when a listener told him he really enjoyed listening to the two of us on the radio because “it sounded like two friends just sitting down and en oying a baseball ga e together Indeed, that’s what we were.

The last few years of Mike’s life were fraught with health challenges. While Mike was living at Heritage Springs, members of the Bitburg, Germany, Little League team came to Williamsport to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their Little League World Series appearance. Mike had been the broadcast announcer of one of their games, and a team member’s parents had kept a taped copy. When Bitburg’s reunion was in the planning stages, one of the team members stumbled across the tape when cleaning out his parents’ house. He

had the tape transferred to a digital form, and the childhood memories of the game were overwhelming. Determined to meet the announcer who created those memories, he ended up contacting me to ask if I could arrange a meeting with Mike, so his Little League teammates could meet the announcer they had heard on the tape. That meeting was held, and the former Little Leaguers and the announcer enjoyed a wonderful time together. They played the recording for Mike to hear and joyfully rehashed that game played 50

years earlier. I’m not sure for whom that visit was more meaningful, those former Little Leaguers or Mike. Together, we enjoyed many trips to a wide variety of sporting events, shared press boxes, and genuinely enjoyed each other’s company. Our last meeting was painful, but the memories with Mike will always remain joyful.

In baseball parlance, Mike has rounded third and headed home. The umpire in the sky has called him safe here could be no other call to make.

Before I begin, I need to chime in. Jensen experienced a minor mishap. Too good not to share with the general public. He’s fine. I wrote an epic poem that has gone viral. The photos helped describe Jensen’s attempt in the kitchen. I gave him an A for effort. The poor kid had a learning experience in the kitchen.

Jensen catches a fish. Jensen decides to keep the fish. Jensen uses YouTube to learn how to clean and cook the fish.

Jensen prepares it on the stove in a ceramic dish. It explodes. There is a major

mess. Jensen cleans up the best he can. Mom finds out. She is super p!$$#%.

Dad buys Mom a new ceramic set. I thought it was hilarious. Teach will get over it. We were out of town. She found the evidence in the trash. It was a sentimental dish from our wedding. You can’t make it up.

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. You need heavier equipment. 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 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.

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

Jamie Spencer

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. They will migrate to find deeper waters to “chill” during the winter. They become much more active in the spring. Smallmouths tend to spawn in April and May. They will head back to the creeks in the summer. Perfect timing. You will find them in faster-flowing 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. These floating props mimic a distressed bait fish or a wounded frog. Regardless of what you throw. Brace yourself, kids. These fish always put up an impressive fight.

Jensen and I snuck out this past week. Three days straight. We had some success in the backyard on Monday. The same with Tuesday and Wednesday. Chucking our torpedoes and throwing spinners for some Smallies. Nothing to brag about. But a little bit of action was

all that was needed. Fantastic time of year.

We love summer folks. Yes. You may see us from time to time. That’s us walking back to the car on Lycoming Creek Road. We also hang out at the Heshbon. Every bridge. 973. High Street. Memorial. and 4th. Go Cutters. Stop by and say hi. I am constantly amazed by the quality of fishing nearby. I love catching trout, but landing a Smallmouth Bass within the city limits is always a blast. Give it a try. Cheers.
