Allegedly…It’s summer. I guess? Maybe? IDK. As of me writing this, it’s like 75°, and raining — again. But I hear that by the time you read this, it’s going to be 97° and sunny. But then again, depending on when you get the paper, it may be raining — again.
No matter the weather, it’s grilling season (even if you need hip waders to reach your grill), and that means that it’s time to announce the winner of our Great American Cookout Giveaway — almost.
Before we get to the announcement, we first need to talk about the entries! Goodness Gracious! A bunch of y’all REALLY wanted this Blackstone! We usually average about 700 entries to this giveaway each summer. But this year? This year, y’all OUTDID yourselves. We received over 1,500 entries! That’s crazy work, guys! Thank you so much to
everyone who entered. Now — on to the winner!!

I have to give an extra shout-out to Paul from
I think the only thing left to give Sharon is a recipe to try on their new Blackstone! I’ve never actually used this type of grill before, so if the recipe isn’t great, I’m sorry, but it sounds fantastic, so I have faith!
Preheat the Griddle: Set your Blackstone griddle to medium-low heat. Cook the Bacon: Place the chopped bacon on the griddle. Cook until crispy, then move the cooked bacon to a cooler zone on the griddle, leaving some of the rendered bacon grease.
Caramelize the Onions: Add the thinly sliced onions to the bacon
2 yellow onions, thinly

grease. Stir continuously and cook for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.
Season and Add Whiskey: Once the onions are caramelized, add the balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, chili powder, and coarse black pepper. Stir to combine, then pour in the whiskey. Let the mixture cook down and thicken for about 3-5 minutes. Add the cooked bacon back into the mixture, then move the bacon jam to a cooler area on the griddle to keep warm.
For the Smash Burgers
Preheat the Griddle: Turn up the heat to high for a good sear.
Shape and Smash the Burgers: Place each beef portion on the hot griddle. Use a large spatula or burger press to press down firmly on each portion, smashing it flat.
Flip and Add Cheese: Flip the burgers and immediately top each patty with a slice of American cheese and a slice of pepper jack cheese. Let the cheese melt as the burgers finish
cooking, about 1-2 minutes. Assemble the Burgers
Toast the Buns: While the burgers cook, place the pretzel buns cut-side down on the griddle to toast lightly.
Assemble the Burgers: Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each toasted pretzel bun. Add romaine lettuce and a slice of tomato. Place a cheesy smash burger on top, then add a generous spoonful of whiskey bacon jam.
Serve: Top each burger with the remaining bun and serve hot off the griddle.
Need dessert? The Blackstone has you covered there too!

Pennsylvania Lavender Festival
This Weekend June 28 and 29
By Lou Hunsinger Jr.
All things lavender will be celebrated and highlighted when the Pennsylvania Lavender Festival is held this weekend, June 28 and 29, at the Blue Sparrow Farm near Milton.
According to festival organizers, the Pennsylvania Lavender Festival began in 2023 with just a few hundred
plants. The number has now grown to more than 2,000 plants in four fields. Each year, there is a process of pruning and harvesting by hand.
The organizers state that lavender has challenges as it is a non-native plant, even though it is well-received as a butterfly and bee-loving plant in the United States. Weather abnormalities can cause the loss of plants; in 2024, they lost just 200 plants, while this
year, they lost more than 800 plants as the winter weather and the rain have taken a hard toll on the plants, so organizers of the event are constantly replanting new ones each year.
– Lavender Hummus
– Lavender Bath & Body Products
– Lavender Soap
– Lavender Candles
– Dried Lavender
According to organizers, there is something for everyone, whether you like lavender or not.
They said this is not your granny’s lavender! This is not the same smell as what has been called “granny’s lavender” sachet smell. Lavender is a sweet floral that is relaxing and invigorating.
There are more than 1,000 varieties of lavender. They grow just a few of them. Next year, they plan to add more varieties by incorporating our own greenhouse and growing them.
At the festival, people can visit more than 50 crafters and artisans, as well as food Vendors. You will find many lavender and non-lavender items, such as:
– Lavender Lemonade
– Lavender Chicken Salad
– Lavender Ice Cream
– Lavender Cupcakes
– Lavender Donuts
– Lavender Plants
– Lavender Tea and Coffee and so much more.
But additionally, there are other non-lavender items like jewelry, moonshine, hard apple cider, wine, chainsaw carving, stained glass, candles, photography, soap, and so much more.
You can visit with their farm donkeys and even feed them treats. Alpacas will be here Saturday to greet all the guests. There will be live music on both days, and enjoy an extract-making demonstration, sage-lavender smudge sticks, and lavender arrangements demo. Come sit by the creek and enjoy the day! Stay as long as you like! They also welcome any well-behaved pet on a leash. Remember to clean up

A Road Well Traveled
By Scott N. Lowery
As the winter began its march toward spring, the 2025 South Williamsport High School so ball schedule was still a work in progress. Some phone calls seeking games went unanswered; other possible opponents already had full 20game schedules. e Mounties knew they were headed to Myrtle Beach for ve tough opening games, but questions remained as to how many games could be penciled in.
A perusal of what resulted in the Mounties playing 18 regular season games instead of the sought-a er 20 could give testament to businessman Steve Jobs, who once stated, “Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.”
In high school sports, especially in small communities (witness Montgomery’s state championship run a few seasons ago), the emergence of a talented team creates hope, excites the fan base, and raises expectations. Such was the case for the 2025 South Williamsport team that has been watched closely since its 2019 participation in the Little League So ball World Series.
e team had completed a wonderful 2024 season with a 24-3 record and
an appearance in the Class AA state championship game. at nal victory eluded them with a 12-2 loss to state powerhouse Neshannock. With every player returning for 2025, the goal became getting back to that same spot this season. In preparation, the team sought to play a strengthened schedule.
Mission accomplished. Of the 18 regular season games played, only one was against Class AA or A teams, that being Northeast Bradford, which advanced to the state championship Class A game. e Mounties won that game 11-0 in a ve-inning one-hitter. e remainder of the games were played against 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A teams. e strength of the schedule was evidenced by the opponent’s .673-season winning percentage.
When the playo s arrived, such preparation propelled the team to secure its fourth consecutive District IV AA championship, dispatching Wyalusing and Troy with a combined score of 21-1.
e Mounties began the state tournament blanking Holy Redeemer 10-0 before being tested by West Shamokin and Williams Valley in subsequent games. Both teams presented competitive challenges. West Shamokin held a 1-0 lead into the h inning, and Williams Valley erased a 5-0 de cit to tie the game in the h.
e experience gained li ed South to its own h-inning rally in both instances to win the games.
Twenty-three games of preparation behind them, the Mounties played the way to its second consecutive state championship game. Once again, waiting was Neshannock, Pennsylvania’s overall rated number-one high school team. e Lancers, with four Division recruits and possessing a four-year 99-1 record, with its only loss coming in the 2023 state semi- nal game, used its’ own h-inning rally to erase a 2-1
Mounties lead to win its 100th game and secure its third state title in four years.
“It is hard to put into words,” said assistant coach Cory Goodman. “ ere is the joy of seeing what we were able to accomplish, but the frustration of being so close to something that we as a group had worked hard for, fall two innings short of being accomplished. But when you look back at the overall picture, we are the rst South Williamsport team to win four consecutive district titles and compete in two consecutive state

championship games. It is very special. “We ran into a powerhouse Neshannock team. We had a great season and gave it our best effort, so there is nothing to be frustrated about or hang our heads. We are proud of them, and so is the South Williamsport community.
“When they were just beginning, we talked about it regarding what they may be able to achieve. We always talked about being prepared, moving forward, and developing the talent we were seeing in them. I wasn’t sure it was going to be the reality it turned out to be. It was our goal (assistant
coach Adam Lorson) to teach them the fundamentals and prepare them to play high school softball. Now, looking back, it is satisfying to see that achieved.”
“The best way to describe their legacy is to say they are winners,” emphasized head coach Tom O’Malley. “We came up a little short in the championship game, but they played their hearts out. They worked hard, had great attitudes, and they played hungry. Unfortunately, the state championship game eluded us, but in my mind, they are winners, period.
That’s just the way I look at them. I was honored and humbled to be their
coach.”
The Mountaineers say goodbye to seven talented seniors who have played together since their Little League days. Those magnificent seven include Alizabeth Schuler, Gianna Goodman, Kendall Cardone, Lily Reidy, Abby Lorson, Sage Lorson, and Emily Holtzapple.
Returning are eleven players who have watched and learned from their exploits and the positive examples they have established. The group includes Maddie Pinkerton, Mikiaya Hills, Emma McLaughlin, Julia Stamm, Alyssa Barnes, Allison Nolan, Jewelana Jasper, Lilliana Brewer, Daniella Brigandi,
Annika Harding and Abigail Holbrook.
“Those seven seniors were as good of players that you could get, with leadership qualities. They were class individuals and talented players. They had a heck of a run and can be very proud of what they were able to accomplish as South Williamsport softball players,” O’Malley added.
The proverb says, “All good things must come to an end,” and so has the memorable run the seven seniors have helped leave behind. Chances are future softball schedules won’t be as difficult to finalize, but the 2025 South Williamsport softball story is one which will long be remembered.

“Dianaworld: An Obsession” by Edward White
c.2025, W.W. Norton
$32.50
402 pages
Your head was always meant for a tiara.
Or a crown, maybe both. Elegant clothing was supposed to ll your ample closets and you were meant to have a maid or valet to help you dress. And yeah, glass slippers should be on your feet right now. en again, being royalty can have its
drawbacks: as you’ll see in “Dianaworld: An Obsession” by Edward White, it can be a royal pain.
Even as a child, young Diana Spencer was proud of her heritage.
By the time she was born, White says, “her family [was] a mighty social presence” in Great Britain, with many ties to the Royal Family. Little Diana o en played with the Princes Edward and Andrew, and she supposedly met Prince Charles when she was just ve years old and he was seventeen. at age di erence meant much less when the Prince was searching for a bride and Diana irted with him at a “shooting weekend” event. Soon, they were engaged,
though they only “spent time together... a handful of times” and the marriage was broken before it scarcely began. You probably know how it ended, and how her life ended, too.
And yet, nearly twenty-eight years a er her death, Diana continues to fascinate people.
Says White, the frenzy over royal-watching compounded when it appeared that the “world’s most eligible bachelor” had found his princess, and the paparazzi were relentless. Every out t Diana wore was scrutinized, condemned, and mimicked; she was criticized for being candid, and for being overly-drama. She seemed to think that “part of her solemn duty was to appear as the Princess of Wales as o en as possible” but she also apparently disliked what happened when she did. She shook up the Royal Family’s status quo by refusing to participate in sti -upper-lip-ness or emotional distance, and that touched the hearts of many.
Here we are, a generation removed from August 31, 1997, and there is still only one Diana for a lot of people. ose are the readers for whom “Dianaworld: An Obsession” seems to have been written, and you can think about this book in two basic parts.
What you will nd, however, is a subtle new attitude about Diana, as seen through a backward lens. Gone is the gushing, in favor of facts. ere’s snark here, and some degree of gossip but it feels fresh, maybe because the blast of Diana books has been a trickle in the last decade. We’re not inundated with Diana, so this book feels right, right now.
Author Edward White takes a deeper-than-usual look at Princess Diana’s life, mostly as a Royal, but you’ll also read about her before and her a er. Alas, those who arose in the dark to watch her wedding in 1981, or who cried when she died won’t nd much new. Heavy sigh.
Despite that, forever fans of the Princess will get the most out of it. And if that’s you, well, you know the assignment. “Dianaworld: An Obsession” is a book to wrap your ngers and your head around.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
e Word of God, the Bible, is God’s
primary way of communicating with us. Prayer is our primary way of communicating with God. As we participate in the Word and prayer, we gain the strength and wisdom we need to navigate life. Successful followers of Jesus rely heavily on the transformational grace available through constant conversation with God.

Did you know that the Bible is by far the best-selling and most widely
June 27th & 28th, 2025
Bring cartridges & related collectibles to buy, sell or
distributed book of all time? It is thousands of years old, yet it is read by more people in more languages than any other book. Why? What is it about the Bible that makes it the most sought-a er book in the world?
e answer can be summed up in one word: power. ere is no other way to explain how an ancient book remains highly relevant and in demand today. God declares that he has endowed the Bible with his sovereign and inexhaustible power:
“So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:11
Paul wrote several passages testifying to the power of the Word of God:
“I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.”
Romans 1:16
Contact:
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God
may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16 e writer of Hebrews also testi ed to the power of God’s Word:
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:12–13 e Bible’s supernatural power makes it relevant to us in every age, stage, and circumstance of life. It is always new, applicable, and e ective. It is truly the living Word of God. Wise is the believer who relies on it, consuming it constantly, handling it correctly, and applying it obediently. e result is freedom and blessing: “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, a er looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues in it — not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it — they
will be blessed in what they do.” James 1:22–25
Prayer
Prayer is our blessed and unrestricted opportunity to speak with God. ink about the signi cance of that statement. Why would this glorious privilege be granted to mere humans like you and me? e answer is quite astonishing: God has made us his children!
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. e Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him, we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’” Romans 8:14–15
I o en screen phone calls, but when I see a call from one of my kids, everything else gets put on hold. My kids have priority access 24/7. at’s how God feels about us. Prayer gives us full-time priority access to God our Father.
Prayer is transformational — it changes the person who prays. It makes the anxious peaceful, the weak strong, the fearful courageous, and the o ended forgiving.
Prayer can also change the course of events. Yes, our faith expressed in prayer can move the heart of God and
result in a miracle. Jesus said:
“Truly, I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20–21
It is inspiring and humbling to consider what our faith o ered in prayer can accomplish. Inspiring because our prayers can partner with God to bring about miracles. Humbling because our failure to pray can keep miracles from happening. A lack of faith kept Jesus from performing miracles in his hometown of Nazareth:
“He could not do any miracles there except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.” Mark 6:4–6
Every believer must rely on constant conversation with God. How else will we know where to go, when to go, what to do, and how to do it? How else will our hearts be emboldened with the courage to step out in faith? How else will we nd the strength to overcome temptation, peace to overcome trials, wisdom to overcome obstacles, and hope to overcome grief? All of this and more is available to every believer who relies on daily communication with God through the Word and prayer.

Taber Museum Releases Tom Taber Book
The omas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society has recently reprinted omas T. Taber III’s book ‘Short-Line Steam in Pennsylvania’. e book has been out of print. According to Taber’s foreword, “ is album of 180 historic and, with few exceptions, previously unpublished pictures has been carefully selected to portray these railroads throughout the entire state…As such, most of the railroads portrayed, both common carrier and private, are relatively obscure; and so, for the collector of railroadiana on Pennsylvania, this album lls a gap in the overall picture history of the state.”
e museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society was named for omas T. Taber to honor his signi cant nancial contribution. In 1999, the need for an expansion of the facility was realized and Mr. Taber responded, presenting a check for $1 million dollars. On August 15, 2000, a resolution by the Historical Society’s Board of Governors was adopted to name the Museum in his honor. Mr. Taber died August 13, 2022, but his legacy lives on through his extensive research and scholarship regarding railroad history. Mr. Taber authored over twenty books which are well-regarded
and are eagerly sought out by historians and enthusiasts wanting to know more about railroads that traversed the eastern seaboard and the lumbering history of the region.
e book is available for $14.95 (plus appropriate PA. sales tax) by visiting the Museum Store during normal operational hours or may be ordered from the online store through the website www. tabermuseum.org (Shipping charges will also be applied). For further information, please call the Museum at 570.326.3326.
Outfits, Not Just Clothes…
The No-Makeup Manicure
I’m not the best at keeping up with regular manicures, even though I do enjoy following nail trends. So, this season, I’m intrigued by and think trying out the no-makeup manicure is quite practical and sustainable. Also known as the “naked” or barely-there mani, this “no makeup” nail is about enhancing your natural nails rather than covering them up. Think of it as your nails but better with a simple shade and topcoat to subtly amplify your natural nails and, in some cases, the appearance of your hands. It’s completely effortless as it may appear — and that’s kind of the point. As in a no-makeup face, you want your natural beauty, but better, to shine through with a no-makeup mani.
Careful prep and precision are the keys to a no-makeup manicure. Trimming and filing your nails is the first step to this mani. Some nail silhouettes best suited to the “naked” look include an elongated soft oval to complement a barely-there shade, while micro-tips also work for a simple and sheer nail. Other more natural shapes like rounded and soft almond make for sophisti-
cated, yet easy, nail ends. You want to avoid any pointy or squared-off nail shapes, and obviously, no press-on or nail extensions if you can help it. This manicure trend is about embracing your natural nails.
Once you have your shape, lightly buff with a simple buffer block to enhance your nails’ natural sheen. Then, wash your hands and nails before any polish or pre-treatment. My go-to base for any mani is Sally Hensen’s Repair + Rescue Super Strength Nail Strengthener. Or you can use a standard base coat or even a clear polish like Wet n’ Wild’s Wild Shine Clear Nail Protector. If you’re in a rush, then consider a combo product like Manicurist’s Active Bright polish that works to both strengthen and brighten nails with semi-opaque “nude” shades as well as brighter tones that work with a single layer of application and can be built up for a bronzy satin, yet natural finish.
If you’re going with a clear base coat or a colorless pre-treatment, then next up is polish. Yes, a “naked” or no-makeup manicure still uses a polish. The right kind depends on your nail bed and skin
tone. Kur’s Perfecting Nail Veil Collection offers up to six shades in various neutrals and subtle tints to find the best match for your skin and nails. In general, those with cool or fair skin pinkish or lightly lavender hues like Essie’s Talk to the Sand Enamel polish. For warmer olive skin, check out a shade like Olive & June’s Coconut Shimmer Gloss Long Lasting Polish. For darker, rich skin tones, try Zoya’s Professional Lacquer in Desiree. You can, of course, layer different polishes to get a customized tone perfect for your individual nails, but that course can take some trial and error to achieve the ideal no-makeup manicure for you.
To finish your no-makeup manicure once you’ve perfected your ultimate nude tone. Simply apply a top coat or another layer of clear strengthening treatment, then complete it with a setting spray like DeMert’s Nail Enamel Fast-Drying Finishing Spray. Or give an even higher shine to your nails with clear lip gloss. Swipe on some NYX’s Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss in
Sugar Glass for some dazzling sheen to your naked nails.
No matter how you finish off your manicure, be sure each round of application dries before the next. You can get a fairly inexpensive nail dryer for at-home use. You can get a fan-like apparatus such as Londontown’s Flash Dry Nail Fan from Nordstrom that works on my nail polishes and finishes. Or, for gel-specific products, you can go with something a bit more high-tech, like Sally Beauty’s LED/UV Curing Light dryer that uses, as the name suggests, LED lights to “cure” or dry gel-based polish.
Also, take care of your hands, which you should be doing no matter the state of your nails. Be sure to apply sunscreen on the backs of your hands and regularly moisturize to provide a healthy “easel” to the “canvas” of your no-makeup mani.
Pared-back and beautifully simple, this nail trend is effectively the equivalent of a tinted moisturizer for your nails, adding polish and glow while letting your natural nail shine through.
The key to the look is opting for sheer, neutral tones with a shiny finish. You’re aiming for a “clean,” healthy, wellgroomed look that’s so versatile for this season.

Kenzy McElroy Shares her Story: The River Story
Do you all remember many months ago in the winter when I shared how my eleven-year-old daughter, Kenzy, wrote a story about our river lot because she missed being up there so much?
We had all the grandparents over for dinner and she handed out tickets she had made for the reading of her first chapter story.
Andrea McElroy
she would absolutely love that. Kenz is truly made to be on stage. But I thought, why not just share it with you through my column? She is going to think this is SOOO cool being in a local paper. Now, it’s definitely going to be at least a two or three-parter because it is longer.
Well, I had videoed a minute of her reading part of this story and shared it to my Instagram/Facebook story, and people were messaging me saying they wish they could have heard more. I didn’t record the whole thing because I wanted to live in the moment. Hearing this story read by her was so good because she made voices for each person who was in the story.
Now, you have to remember, she is eleven. This is the first long story she has ever written. I wish she could personally read it to you because, honestly,
I thought now was a good time because we are nearing the time we get to go spend two weeks at our river lot over the Fourth of July, so I am going to wrap up everything between now and the beginning to middle of July! You just need to read this knowing Kenzy wrote this as herself in this story. Each chapter gets a little better, and as you can tell, she gets a little more confident in her writing. I did none of this. This was all Kenzy. My favorite chapter is definitely chapter 6, but you may have to wait a week or two to see that! I hope you enjoy!
The River Story
Chapter One: Getting Ready for the River
We are getting ready for the river. I’m all done packing. My mom, dad and Ty are still packing. Why I am here, I can tell you about the river. It’s so cozy when it rains, but not when Ty is playing his guitar. I’m either playing on my tablet, coloring or we play games all together. OK, so back to what we are doing. We are leaving tomorrow (that day later). I’m hungry.
“Mom.”
“Yes honey?”
“Can I have something to eat?”
“Yes of course!”
“OK!”
“Dad…”
“Yes?”
“Can you hand me a yogurt please?”
“Yea.”
“Thanks!”
“Hey honey you got to go to bed so you can get some sleep for tomorrow.”
“Ughhh fine! Love you.”
“Love you.”
Tomorrow:
“Good morning!!” (yawns)
“Good morning time for the river!!” (pulls up the blinds)
“OK!” (yawns again)
“Get ready please, we are leaving
soon.”
“What time?”
“12:30 to 12:45 OK? So, hurry up.”
“OK.”
(Gets clothes on, gets hair brushed, teeth brushed, and gets shoes on.)
“I’m all done! Let’s go to the river!”
Yes, we are here!
Chapter 2 - At the River
Yay we are here!
“OK honey I want you to get your stuff all ready, you too Ty.”
“OK.”
So I am going to put my clothes on this table in my pop up and then decorate. I made Ty’s side boring and my side BEAUTIFUL!
“Hey Ty, can you put the lights up?”
“Later.”
“Please?”
“NOO!”
“Pleaseee??”
“No, after we get our stuff done, OK?” That day a little later on….
“OK, we are done.”
“Ty Ty can you please put up the lights now?”
“Yeah.”
10 minutes later……
See COOKIN on Page 26
“OK all done.”
“O-M-G. It’s time for dinner already”
“Yup. Come on.”
“Mom?”
“Yeah?”
“What are we having for dinner?” “Burgers!”
“Yassssss!!”
“Dad is almost done with them.”
“And Mom, I just realized that Aunt Winny and Uncle Joe aren’t here yet.”
“They are coming very soon.”
“OK.”
“Hey there they are! Mom, can I go say hi?”
“Yeah.”
“OK.”
“Hi Aunt Winny!”
“Hi Kenzy Mae Mae!”
“Hiiii Mochaaaa!” (Lindsay and Joe’s doggie.)
I love Mocha!
“We for sure know that.”
“It’s time for dinner.”
“OK.”
“We are having burgers.”
“OK.”
Done eating.
“Mom?”
“Yeah?”
“Can I go get my pajamas on?”
“Yeah.”
“OK!”
Get’s pajamas on.
“Mom, can I play on my tablet?”
“Yeah, just for a little bit.”
“OK.”
“Dad, can I have your internet please?”
“I guess.”
“Yayyy thanks.”
“Sure!”
“I am going to call my friends now.” 1 hour later.
“Hey hun.”
“Yeah?”
“Come brush your teeth.”
“Ughhh. OK.”
Walks out of the camper and gets teeth brushed.
“Good night mom.”
“Good night honey.”
Walks into the camper.
“Good night Ty.”
“Good night.”

Garlic and Butter Smashed Potatoes
COOKIN
(Another great grill recipe for you!)
Ingredients:
• 2 lbs. small red potatoes ( or Yukon Gold, choose them not too big)
• 1 teaspoon of oil
• 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Directions:
To prepare the garlic butter parmesan smashed potatoes: Preheat your oven in broil mode (or grill) to 400ºF.
Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring the pot to a boil and cook, covered for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are just fork-tender. Drain well and set aside.
Lightly grease a large baking sheet with a teaspoon of oil or oil spray. Arrange the cooked potatoes onto the baking sheet and use a potato masher or the bottom of a measuring cup to atten the potatoes in one piece lightly. Do not push too hard, or potatoes will end up mashed.
In a medium bowl, mix the butter, salt, pepper, minced garlic, parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Pour the mixture generously over each potato using a rubber brush.
Transfer the baking sheet with potatoes in the oven and broil (or grill) until potatoes are golden and crispy — about 10-15 minutes. Serve the garlic butter parmesan smashed potatoes with parsley and more parmesan if you like. Enjoy!

Extra Toes, Extra Attitude: Got a quiet, gentle cat at home who enjoys peace and harmony? Yeah… don’t apply. Mittens has zero interest in joining a feline yoga retreat. is polydactyl king has paws the size of oven mitts and the personality to match — big, bold, and unapologetically himself. Mittens was in a home once, but let’s just say... the resident girl-cats weren’t ready for his main-character energy. He strutted in, claimed the best nap spots, threw some dramatic side-eyes, and occasionally felt the urge to “remind” everyone whose turf it really was. A er a vet check ruled out any medical reasons, the diagnosis was clear: he’s just kind of a lovable jerk. But here’s the thing — in the right home, Mittens is a total sweetheart. He’s got charm, snuggles, and yes, a so side — just don’t pair him with insecure roommates who’ll wilt under his stare. He needs a no-nonsense human (or con dent cat friend) who can handle the spice. So if you’re into cats with character, con dence, and a suspicious number of toes, Mittens is ready to rule your home (and probably your heart). Just don’t say we didn’t warn you.

UPMC Donates Life-Saving Equipment to Loyalsock Township Parks
UPMC, in collaboration with the Susquehanna Health Foundation and Susquehanna Regional EMS (SREMS), has donated automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and other life-saving supplies to four public parks in Loyalsock Township. The donation was made possible through generous funding from First Quality.
Representatives from Loyalsock Township gathered at James Short Park as Sherry Watts, president, Susquehanna Health Foundation, and Tony Bixby, director, UPMC Prehospital Services in North Central Pa., and chief, SREMS, officially presented the equipment.
Bruce E. Henry Park, Heshbon Park, James Short Park, and Riverfront Park are now equipped with secure emergency response boxes, thanks to funding from Woodlands Bank. Each box contains an AED, Narcan (naloxone), and tourniquets. While the boxes remain locked to ensure safety, they can be quickly accessed in an emergency by calling 911, where dispatchers will provide the access code.
“It’s vital that our community knows about these tools and how to use them when the unexpected happens,” said

Shoulder pain can be more than just an inconvenience. It can interfere with your ability to sleep, get dressed, drive, or even lift a cup of coffee. When medications, physical therapy, or other non-surgical treatments no longer relieve pain or restore function, shoulder replacement might be the next step. Though it’s not as common as knee or hip replacements, shoulder replace-
ment surgery is highly effective in relieving pain and restoring motion for people suffering severe shoulder arthritis or injury.
When Is Shoulder
Replacement Recom-
mended?
Shoulder replacement is typically considered for patients with end-stage arthritis of the shoulder, severe fractures, or large rotator cuff tears. If conservative treatments like medications, injections, or physical therapy no longer provide relief, and your shoulder pain significantly im-
pacts your quality of life, surgery might be recommended. An orthopaedic specialist will evaluate your symptoms, imaging, and daily function before determining if you’re a candidate.
It Might Be Time for Surgery if…
Many people live with shoulder pain for years, assuming it’s just something they must put up with. There are a few telltale signs that it might be time to talk to a specialist. If your shoulder pain is constant even while resting or keeps you awake at night, that’s a red flag. Difficulty performing everyday tasks like combing your hair, reaching into a cabinet, or getting dressed can also signal a deeper joint issue. If you find yourself avoiding activities you once enjoyed or depending heavily on your ither arm, it may be time to explore whether shoulder replacement is the right path forward.
What to Expect During Recovery
and function much sooner. Debunking Common Myths
Shoulder replacement surgery is considered a same-day procedure with most patients being able to go home the day of their surgery. Many patients begin physical therapy within a week or two after the procedure. Recovery times can vary depending on the individual and type of surgery performed, but most patients regain significant range of motion and pain relief within several weeks to months. Commitment to a physical therapy program is key to regaining strength and mobility. While full recovery can take up to six months, many patients experience a noticeable improvement in their comfort
It’s normal to feel nervous when considering surgery. One common myth is that shoulder replacement is only for older adults. In reality, candidates for this surgery can range from active younger adults with joint damage to seniors looking to maintain independence. Another misconception is that shoulder replacements don’t last long. Thanks to advancements in materials and techniques, modern implants often last 15 years or more with proper care. Some people also worry they’ll lose range of motion, but most patients gain mobility and experience significant pain relief. Talking with your surgeon about your concerns is the best way to separate fact from fiction. Shoulder replacement surgery can be life-changing for people suffering from chronic shoulder pain and stiffness. If shoulder pain is keeping you from the activities you love, it may be time to consult with an orthopaedic surgeon. With today’s advancements in surgical techniques and rehabilitation, many patients are returning to active, pain-free lives. Ronald Campbell, M.D., is with UPMC Orthopaedic Care and sees patients at UPMC Williamsport Orthopaedic Care, 1705 Warren Ave., Suite 101, and UPMC Sports Medicine, 24 Cree Drive, Floor 3, Lock Haven. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Campbell at either location, call 570-321-2020. For more information, visit UPMC.com/OrthoNCPA.
Dog Parents Can Practice Pet Etiquette
Dogs are popular pets. Forbes Advisor reports 65.1 million households in the United States have a dog, and there are roughly 89 million dogs in the country. According to Dogster, Canadians own about 7.9 million dogs as of 2022.
People have grown accustomed to treating their dogs like members of the family, and that means that dogs increasingly are being brought along on errands, traveling with their human companions, and even being brought
into the workplace. It’s important for pet parents to always be mindful of their dogs’ behavior when out and about, or even hanging closer to home. Dog owners can follow these dog etiquette pointers to be responsible pet owners.
Get permission from your employer before taking a dog to work. If you plan to take your pet into the workplace, whether during Take Your Dog to Work Day or Take Your Pet to Work Week, or any time of the year, it is best to check with management to find out if this is
Looking To
allowed. You must be mindful of people’s dog fears or allergies and be respectful of others no matter how much fun it might be to bring your dog into a public space. The warm and fuzzy feelings dog owners feel for their dogs are not necessarily shared by everyone.
Quiet nuisance barking. Do not leave your dog outside unattended for a long time. This can cause what the American Kennel Club characterizes as boredom barking. Quiet your dog if he or she is barking, or bring the pet indoors.
Always leash your dog. Some people are not comfortable around dogs. And even if your dog is friendly, others met on walks or outings may not be. To prevent uncomfortable situations or even dog bites, it’s best to always leash your dog. Choose a leash short enough to prevent your dog from jumping on passersby.
Ask permission first. Check to see if your dog is allowed to greet people or other dogs. If someone says, “no,” respect that answer.
Clean up after your pet. Always have waste bags at the ready so you can clean up after your dog. This also applies indoors, should your dog have an accident inside a pet-friendly store.
Be mindful of shopping with pets. Many stores do not allow dogs inside, but employees may be hesitant to approach pet owners about such policies.
Many stores only allow trained service
Many stores only allow trained service dogs that are Americans With Disabilities Act-compliant. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service animal designations are exclusive to dogs. However, a number of people have “emotional support animals,” which are not recognized as service animals. As a general rule of thumb, know a store’s policy on non-service animal pets before visiting. And, when shopping at food stores, it’s best to leave the dog at home.
Train your dog. A dog that knows basic obedience training will behave better in the community. If you are having trouble training your dog alone, consider working with an experienced dog trainer.
Dogs are beloved members of the family. However, pet owners should practice proper etiquette when dogs are out and about.

American Lung Association Offers Courses for Variety of Needs
ccording to the Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 480,000 people died in the United States from smokingrelated illnesses in 2024. This figure includes both direct and second-hand smoke. In addition, the Surgeon General reports that 1 in 5 deaths are connected to tobacco in the U.S. These figures do not include vaping and e-cigarette-related illnesses that are rising at an astronomical rate as the general public largely and mistakenly think that these tobacco substitutes are a safe alternative even though they are clearly not.
To help combat this alarming trend, the American Lung Association (ALA) has put together a variety of courses and educational materials to address concerns for parents, guardians, and caregivers. The ALA has also developed resources for young people who want to combat the rise in vaping and e-cigarette use in schools. Among the many courses created by the ALA are: Talking to Your Child About Vaping, Freedom from Smoking, Freedom from Smoking Plus, TRU youth advocacy groups, and My Life My Quit.
The American Lung Association’s course Talking to Your Child About Vaping: A Guide for Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers is a free one-hour interactive online learning module designed to help parents, guardians, and caregivers talk to their child, ages 8 to 20, about vaping and nicotine product use including e-cigarettes, vaping devices,
and oral nicotine pouches. Whether you are seeking to prevent your child from ever starting or needing to intervene with a child with a history of use, this training will provide you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to have an impactful conversation with your child.
This program will teach participants to:
• Recognize the signs that your child is using tobacco or nicotine-based products,
• Deliver an impactful message in an effective way to prevent or intervene and
• Utilize resources for prevention or to effectively intervene and support a child during the quitting process.
One of the highlights of this learning module is the Parent Investigator – Vapor Trail Game. This interactive game allows participants to search for signs of tobacco use in a child’s bedroom. Talking to Your Child About Vaping: A Guide for Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers also offers three different modules: Overview, Prevention, and Intervention. Users will be able to choose their pathway. If they are interested in just tobacco use prevention, they can choose Module 2: Prevention. If they have already spotted a problem with their child using tobacco products, they can choose Module 3: Intervention. Users can choose to take all modules as well.
The Freedom from Smoking® group clinic includes eight sessions and features a stepby-step plan for quitting smoking. Each
session is designed to help smokers gain control over their behavior. The clinic format encourages participants to work on the process and problems of quitting both individually and as part of a group.
The Freedom from Smoking® Plus is a highly interactive online behavioral change program that addresses today’s mobile lifestyles. It works on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones and includes telephone, chat, and email support from trained tobacco cessation counselors.
One of ALA’s priorities in Northcentral PA is to share the programs and resources that are available to educate, prevent, and support cessation with those who are already using and dependent on Nicotine, which is why the Tobacco Resistance Unit (TRU) youth advocacy groups were developed. It was found that a critical component of reducing youth tobacco and nicotine use is involving youth to become involved in peer education and advocacy. Youth in Northcentral PA who are interested in starting a TRU group will need an adult advisor but can be started with just a few kids and funding available to support new TRU group activities.
The My Life, My Quit program is a free and confidential service for teens who want help quitting all forms of tobacco, including vaping. Coaches receive extensive training as tobacco treatment specialists through a CTTTP-accredited program,
with additional training on adolescent cognitive and psychosocial development from a psychologist and professor at Stanford University who specializes in adolescent tobacco prevention.
Coaches use motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help teens:
Develop a quit plan.
Identify triggers for tobacco use.
Practice refusal skills.
Obtain ongoing support for changing behaviors.
Teens who participate in the program receive:
Five one-on-one coaching sessions are usually scheduled every 7-10 days.
Self-help and educational materials with input from teens.
Real-time support is available anytime over the phone and with limited hours by text messaging or online chat
My Life, My Quit does not provide cessation medications to anyone under age 18. Teens who request medications are referred to a healthcare professional to discuss whether medications are an option to support their quit attempt. My Life, My Quit is developed and operated by National Jewish Health, the nation’s leading respiratory hospital and academic research center. National Jewish Health operates Quitline programs in numerous states and has helped more than one million people with their quit attempts.

By Larry Stout
Both my wife Debbie and I had chaotic 70th birthday parties.
Three years ago, I spent my birthday in Geisinger Hospital in Danville with a major heart issue, and last year, my wife’s birthday had an uninvited party wrecker. It was late June, and Debbie had designed a fantastic event we planned for our church friends at our home in Clinton Township. We have a very nice house on a hill with four acres of land, and we wanted to have a fun-for-ev-
eryone-type celebration.
We had a tent with toys and games for little children and activities for the older kids, including visiting a nearby neighbor’s farm. For the adults, there was volleyball, a large net for hitting golf balls, and various stuff we collected from overseas that we were selling off to help a children’s clinic my wife helped start in Latvia. And of course, we had lots and lots of good food we provided, and our guests brought as well.
All the weather reports confirmed that we would have a beautiful day, but little did we know that was not to be. One of my friends
just happened to check his phone and discovered that it appeared a storm was coming our way. I was sure this was a mistake because we had been tracking the weather for the past week, and everything was telling us that it was going to be a beautiful, sunny day. We were not sure what we should do, but just a few minutes later, we discovered that there was, indeed, a storm coming across our path. It was not just any storm; it felt like a hurricane. The National Weather Service later reported that a line of severe thunderstorms swept through Lycoming County. And our property was right in the line! The storm had gusts up to 60 mph, and there was quarter-inch hail in some places. The rain was pouring down so hard it seemed like a river was coming down our driveway. We later learned that the storm gusts knocked down trees that even blocked roads in parts of Lycoming County. And then, it went away as fast as it came, but the damage was awful. It tore apart everything we had set up.
What we wished we could have had would have been a system of notifying the public about upcoming emergencies. Last month, my wish became a reality.
Jeffrey Hutchins, Lycoming County’s Director of Public Safety, rarely comes to the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting, but when he does, it is well worth listening to him. Such a day was May 15th, when Director Hutchins announced the importance and implementation of exactly what I hoped for — an emergency notification system for Lycoming County. It is called CodeRed.
CodeRed is a secure, reliable communication platform that enables Lycoming County officials to quickly deliver important emergency
notifications to the public.
Here is how it works: Alerts can be sent via phone call, text message, email, and TDD/ TTY devices for the hearing impaired. This system is designed to keep residents and businesses informed and prepared in the face of emergencies and critical community events.
With this system, my wife and I would have an earlier heads up at the party on the severe weather that was coming our way.
It also alerts the public of sudden emergencies, major evacuations, major road closures, public health notifications, and other critical incidents affecting safety and well-being.
And best of all, it is fast, free, and secure.
Director Hutchins strongly encouraged residents and businesses to sign up for this notification system. If you are interested in doing so, just go to https://accountportal.onsolve. net/lycomingcountyps. If you would like some more info or help with registration, you can contact the Lycoming County Department of Public Safety at 570-433-4461 or through email at ema@lyco.org.
You never know when the winds may change, or the waters begin to rise — but you will know with CodeRed.

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE, ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A RECREATIONAL PARADISE LIKE THIS IN THE HEART OF THE PA WILDS !!
By Joseph W. Smith III
It’s always a conundrum trying to vary these Weird Word columns from week to week. I don’t want to just keep cranking out simple sets of oddball words randomly chosen from my massive running list.
Last week, we focused on a few recent books that had shown me unknown terms. So now let’s take that one step further: I’ve pulled down a dozen of my favorite dictionaries, flipping through them one at a time for a different weird word from each:
Kreutzer (KROIT-sur, noun) A copper coin formerly common in Germany and Austria, worth about half a cent. The word derives from German for cross, since the coin’s face bore one. —Winston Encyclopedic Dictionary (1945)
Barrator (BARE-uh-tur, noun) A person who commits barratry, which covers a variety of crimes including ship-cargo fraud, stirring up quarrels and the purchase of “ecclesiastical preferments.” —Random House College Dictionary (1975)
Muslin (MUZZ-lin, noun) This popular cotton fabric is not exactly an unusual term;
but I nabbed it from the 1995 New American Webster Handy College Dictionary—which, despite its modest size, is one of my best sources for cool or unexpected word origins. In this case, I learn that muslin is named for Iraq’s Mosul, from which it originated. Who knew?
Zymurgy (ZYE-mur-gee, noun) Branch of chemistry dealing with fermentation (for brewing, distilling, yeast, etc.). Helpfully included on the second spine of a two-volume colossus, zymurgy is the very last word in The New Century Dictionary. I get a bang out of that title—because it was put together in the 1920s. (Not exactly the “new century” anymore!)
Smellfeast (SMELL-feest, noun) “A parasite; one who haunts good tables.” From 1755’s Dictionary of the English Language, the earliest definitive English lexicon; it was compiled single-handedly by the legendary Samuel Johnson—in a period of just seven years.
Zidovudine (zih-DAHV-yuh-deen, noun) An antiviral drug used to treat AIDS, zidovudine slows the HIV infection “but is not curative.” —Concise Oxford American Dictionary (2006)
Rugose (ROO-gose [second syllable like dose], adj.) A biological term often describing plants, rugose means “full of wrinkles; corrugated; ridged.” —Webster’s New World College Dictionary (1997)
Gnathonic (nuh-THON-ik, adj.) A recent “word-of-the-day” from Dictionary.com, this is defined therein by two other lesser-known synonyms: sycophantic and fawning. That same online source has fawning thus: “seeking favor by flattery or a servile
way of behaving.”
Titfer (TIT-fuh, noun) British slang for a hat; shortened from tit for tat—a jocular Cockney synonym for headgear. From the idiosyncratic and very British Collins English Dictionary (2018).
Procercoid (PRO-sur-koid, adj.) “The solid first parasitic larva of some tapeworms that develops usu. in the body of a copepod” (the latter is a small freshwater crustacean). Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed., 2003)
Nevus (NEE-vus, noun) “A congenital growth or mark on the skin, such as a mole or birthmark.” Plural: nevi. —American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (4th ed., 2000)
Those last two sources constitute first, the most authoritative (Merriam-Webster) and finally, my very favorite: the profusely illustrated and gorgeously laid out AHD; but if you’re counting, you may note we’re at only 11 terms so far.
I wanted to finish with another beloved reference work: Roget’s International Thesaurus (4th edition, 1977). Unlike most thesauri, this work is organized topically—so that, for instance, all synonyms for bad are found under the single entry headed “evil.” So let’s wind up where we started with Roget’s list of other words meaning the same as conundrum: riddle, charade, rebus, logogriph, anagram, riddle of the Sphinx.
That doesn’t solve the puzzle of why Smith needs so many dictionaries; to be honest, I could probably live with just the AHD on a desert island. But why you’d even need one in such a place … well—I guess that’s another conundrum.

2025-26 Hunting Licenses Now on Sale
Hunting and furtaker licenses for Pennsylvania’s 2025-26 seasons went on sale Monday, June 23, but there will be plenty of time for hunters to get them without waiting.
As in recent years, antlerless deer licenses will be available when general license sales open. But this year, all Pennsylvania residents are guaranteed to get an antlerless license for the Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) of their choice, so long as they buy it by 7 a.m. on Monday, July 14, the day license sales open to nonresidents. That’s three full weeks for resident hunt-
ers to find a convenient time to buy and avoid waits.
Once sales to nonresidents begin on Monday, July 14 at 8 a.m., antlerless licenses no longer will be guaranteed, and all remaining sales will be on a first come, first serve basis until the allocated number of licenses is exhausted.
The second round of antlerless sales, at which time resident and nonresident hunters can buy a second antlerless license for any WMU where licenses remain, begins on Monday, July 28 at 8 a.m.
The third round begins at 8 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 11. Deer Management As-
sistance Program (DMAP) permits also go on sale when the third round begins.
During the fourth round of antlerless sales, which begins Monday, Aug. 25 at 8 a.m., hunters can purchase additional antlerless licenses for any WMU where licenses are available.
resident hunter can get a license without waiting, if so inclined,” said Game Commission Executive Director Steve Smith.
“Because the number of antlerless licenses allocated in a given WMU is driven by deer-management objectives, and often fluctuates from one year to the next, there’s no guaranteeing a statewide guarantee will continue. But for this year, it is certain to further alleviate the first-round rush and create additional convenience.”
The new license year begins July 1, at which time 2024-25 hunting and furtaker licenses, as well as mentored permits and other permits and privileges, will expire and new licenses will be needed before heading afield.
In most of the state, hunters may hold up to six unfilled licenses at a time. Once reaching that limit, they are not able to buy additional licenses until they use tags by harvesting deer and reporting them. There’s a higher limit, however, for WMUs 5C and 5D in southeastern Pennsylvania. There, hunters may hold up to 15 unfilled antlerless licenses at a time. In these highly developed WMUs where there’s less public land and limited hunting access, a higher limit helps hunters better seize opportunities to harvest antlerless deer.
All hunters can view the number of remaining antlerless licenses in real time at HuntFish.PA.gov by clicking on the Antlerless Deer tab, then Antlerless Deer Quota. As antlerless license sales progress, tracking sales gives a clear sense of how fast licenses for a given WMU are selling, and how urgent it might be to buy one soon.
But in the first round of antlerless sales, resident hunters know they have three weeks to make their purchase.
“Guaranteeing resident hunters an antlerless license for the WMU of their choice provides them flexibility in deciding when to purchase, and ensures every
Licenses may be purchased online at HuntFish.PA, or in person from any license-issuing agent, locations for which are mapped on HuntFish.PA. Paper licenses and harvest tags are mailed when bought online.
General hunting licenses cost $20.97 for resident adults and $101.97 for nonresident adults. Antlerless deer licenses cost $6.97 for residents and $26.97 for nonresidents. A full list of prices can be found on HuntFish.PA by clicking on License Catalog under the Hunting tab. Know your CID number
To protect personal information, HuntFish.PA customers no longer can use Social Security numbers to access their customer accounts.
Instead, returning customers must use either their driver’s license number, pass-
port card number or the nine-digit Customer Identification (CID) number that appears on their license or permits.
The Game Commission encourages hunters to memorize their CID numbers, write them down, or have an old license on hand when buying a new one. Doing so will help ensure a smooth and speedy transaction.
Customers who have not purchased or renewed a license through HuntFish.PA and need to create a new customer account still will need to provide their Social Security number when doing so. This is a one-time-only requirement.
DMAP permits and extended seasons Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) permits allow hunters to hunt and harvest antlerless deer, during established deer seasons, on the specific property for which the permit is issued.
Landowners participating in DMAP can make permits available to hunters directly through licensing-issuing agents or HuntFish.PA, or they can choose to issue coupons hunters then can redeem for permits.
For each property where landowners issue coupons, hunters may purchase up to four DMAP permits, so long as permits remain available. For all other DMAP properties, the limit is two.
There will be additional opportunities for hunters on DMAP properties this year. From Dec. 26, 2025 through Jan. 24, 2026, the antlerless-only extended firearms season will be open on all DMAP
properties, with each participant needing a DMAP permit for that property in addition to their general license.
Hunters participating in the extended firearms season must follow the same fluorescent orange regulations that apply in the regular firearms deer season – 250 square inches of fluorescent orange on the head, chest and back combined, visible from 360 degrees.
DMAP permit sales open Aug. 11 at 8 a.m. DMAP permits cost $10.97 for residents and $35.97 for nonresidents.
Renewing senior tags
While Pennsylvania residents ages 65 or older may purchase a lifetime hunting or furtaker license – or a lifetime combination license that includes hunting, furtaking and other privileges – lifetime license holders still must obtain new antlered deer and turkey harvest tags each license year, as well as new antlerless deer licenses, bear licenses, elk license applications, DMAP permits and more.
All senior lifetime hunting license and combination license holders who purchased their lifetime license prior to May 13, 2017 are exempt from needing a pheasant permit to hunt or harvest pheasants. “Pheasant Eligible” is printed on the bottom panel of the license for hunters who do not have to purchase a pheasant permit.
Hunters need to provide proof of residency, usually with a valid Pennsylvania driver’s license, when renewing lifetime licenses.

Uptown Music Collective
Accepting Scholarship Applications for 2025-26 School Year
The Uptown Music Collective, the area’s premier nonprofit school of music, is now accepting scholarship applications for its 20252026 school year, which will begin in September. This year, the Collective is offering 14 needs- and 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, Hudock Capital Group, UPMC North Central Pa, UPMC Health Plan, Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships, Chartwell Hotels LLC, Kiessling Group of Janney Montgomery Scott, KFC Williamsport, and The Miller Family.
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 nine 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 se-
UMC Scholarship Ceremony
cret 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 group, 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.
“We have students starting at any level of musical experience and there are a lot of scholarships available for brand new students looking to enroll at the Collective and current students, as well,” said Jared Mondell, assistant executive director of the Collective. “We encourage families to take the time to apply. The process is easy,
and it provides an opportunity to explore all that the Uptown Music Collective has to offer.”
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 6, 2025. Scholarships will be awarded in mid-July. For more information about the Collective’s scholarship program, call 570-329-0888 or visit www.uptownmusic.org/scholarshipapplication.

mer with their rich, artisanal taste that makes a difference.
This unique taste stems from the natural way 100% grass-fed organic dairy is produced, utilizing regenerative farming practices with no additives or fillers. While traditional organic dairy earns one certification, 100% grass-fed organic requires a second certification symbolic of the extra level of standards required to be met.
Special care and regenerative agriculture lead to nutrient differences for your family, too. Compared to traditional organic dairy, 100% grass-fed organic dairy provides a 50% healthier ratio of omega-6 and 40% higher levels of CLA fatty acids. Just look for the grass-fed and organic certifications to ensure milk is produced at the highest standards to serve your loved ones their favorite creamy recipes all summer long.
Strawberry Kefir Overnight Oats

British King and Queen Take Home Williamsport Products for Daughters’ Fair
Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.
When the British monarchs, King George and Queen Elizabeth land today from their Canadian and American tour and open their bulging trunks their two young daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose will have some “Williamsport manufactured” goods with which to have a World’s Fair party their parents planned for them.
Paper tablecloths, paper napkins, cups and other favors manufactured by the C.A. Reed Company of this city, emblematic of the World’s Fair, which attracted attention and favorable comment from King George and Queen when they visited the various exhibits when in New York.
To make sure that the special order for royalty, the first one incidentally which the local company has placed with them, could be shipped and delivered
in time for the King and Queen to take their souvenirs back to England, plant employees and officials worked overtime.
As soon as the royal pair had expressed a desire to take their young daughters some of the crepe paper novelties, New York World’s Fair officials contacted the C.A. Reed plant here for an exact list of all party favors with the World’s Fair emblem.
This list was submitted to King George and Queen Elizabeth, and they made their selections. The order was rushed through and taken by bus to New York and shipped to Nova Scotia.
Employing 770 people, the C.A. Reed plant has a bright outlook, it was reported today.
“Business is better this year than last,” said C.A. Reed president this morning.
“Prospects look encouraging for us at this time. We are working three shifts at times and will soon start on our busiest season.”

Interest in knowing more about the paranormal and various ghostly happenings has grown markedly in recent years. Two local residents, Elaine Decker and Adam Wilson, have founded a local organization to explore this often fascinating area of inquiry, and they call their group “Ghost Quest.”
In addition, the group has a YouTube channel called “Real Ghost Quest” and a podcast.
According to the group’s mission statement, “The purpose of The Real Ghost Quest show is to help spread the message to those who are experiencing paranormal events on all levels. While the team continues to film investigations and exorcisms for season one of The Real Ghost Quest, they are dedicated to helping anyone in need, and the cost of their ser vices is 100 percent free.”
It is solely up to the client whether or not they choose to have the investigation streamed on YouTube, it is not required.
The plus side to having your investigation featured on the team’s show would be letting others know they are not alone.
According to Decker and Wilson, more and more people throughout the world, especially in Lycoming County and the surrounding areas, have been experiencing paranormal activity.
Their sole goal is to speak to the dead to give answers to the living. Season 1, Episode 1 premiered on YouTube.com/@ TheRealGhostQuest on June 18, 2025.
In January 2025, Wilson and Decker partnered up to restructure the Ghost Quest company, creating The Real Ghost Quest channel on YouTube to show their evidence not only by Wilson’s supposed psychic medium abilities but with a vast array of equipment. Decker investigates the relevant history of buildings and the area of each investigation, then helps with the paranormal part of the investigation, using her knowledge of history to help uncover some of the mysteries the team can run into.
They use a vast array of equipment they use on almost every investigation includes the REM Pod, which generates a magnetic field and will only go off once the magnetic field is broke; the K2 Meter and the 8704R EMF and temperature meter; a digital voice recorder for capturing Electronic Voice Phenomena generally known as EVPs; the SB7 Spirit Box which scans AM/FM frequencies to
generate white noise to give the spirits energy to speak through it; four LED cat balls that light up when something touches them; a specialized LED laser grid that shows when something passes through; the SLS Camera which is a structured light sensitive camera which shoots out thousands of infrared dots which allows us to see what the naked eye cannot; the Ovilus Box which holds a bank of thousands of words and phenetics which allow spirits to manipulate and generate words; along with a slew of Instrumental Trans-Communication (ITC) applications including ParaTek, ParaVox, EchoVox, and others which is much like the Ovilus.
The team is also looking forward to working with several local businesses in the near future that have booked them for haunted events such as ghost hunts, spooky tales in eerie locations, haunted adventures, and more.

Watch Your Step!
By Jon Pries
Having grown up in Lycoming County and spending most of the years of my life roaming its hills and streams, it has been a natural progression to be an avid lover of nature and to enjoy the outdoor sporting opportunities that this wonderful area provides. Through the years, my respect and admiration for all the wonders of nature has continued to grow — except perhaps the rattlesnake!
Yes, I am well aware of the interaction of all species and that each and every creature has a purpose in the balance of our natural world, but rattlesnakes do not fulfill a purpose that other, much more pleasant reptiles cannot fulfill. At least, this is my opinion, which you may or may not share.
While timber rattlers prefer to be left alone and, if they sense your presence, would rather move out of your way and be left undisturbed, they can occasionally be somewhat aggressive.
It is said that when they are shedding their skin, and their eyes become glazed over in the process, they can be more aggressive. With their reduced visibility, they might tend to lash out or strike at things that their limited vision does not allow them to identify properly. And there are times when, if you come upon them suddenly and they are surprised by your presence, they may strike out of a sense of self-defense. This is natural on their part, but it can have very unpleasant results for you or your pet.
So what can you do? The first step is to educate yourself about our timber rattlers. In 2017, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission announced that they were taking the timber rattlesnake off the endangered list because their numbers had finally increased to a level where they no longer needed to be listed as endangered in Pennsylvania. For you, that means there is an increased chance of encountering one when hiking, hunting, or fishing. But, if you leave them alone, they will tend to leave you alone.
Legally, there is a rather complex procedure in place if you want to take a rattlesnake and wish to comply with the laws. First, you will need a current shing license and must obtain a valid annual permit to hunt, take, catch, kill, or possess a timber rattlesnake (or copperhead, for that matter). With the proper license and permit, you can take one per year during the season, but there is more to the regulation, and if you are serious about the proper procedures, you need to refer to the current edition of the Pennsylvania Fishing Summary handbook where reptile seasons, limits and regulations are covered.
In support of leaving rattlesnakes alone, an unnamed Fish and Boat Commission Law Enforcement Ocer told me, “You should leave rattlesnakes alone since they are what keep the “Flatlanders” at home in the city!”
But what if you do have an encounter that ends up with you being bitten by this venomous snake? I came across an article that described what happened to a man in Texas recently. After being bitten, the man went straight to a neighbor’s home, and they put ice on the site. ey arrived at the hospital within an hour of the bite. By the
time they got there, his arm was beginning to swell to the shoulder, and his throat was getting tight. e rst thing the emergency room did was give him Benadryl. e swelling in his arm and throat started going down right away. e anti-venom medicine had to be prepared and was not ready for a couple of hours. He received two doses of the anti-venom and spent the night in the hospital, but was able to come home healthy the next day.
A nurse suggested that people who spend time in the outdoors should carry an emergency kit that includes children’s chewable Benadryl — it won’t spill or break. It is given according to body weight so that it can also be used for adults; just give a larger dose. She said if you chew it and hold it in your mouth, it will absorb just as fast as or faster through the membranes of the mouth than from the stomach — which just might save a life!
I am not a medical practitioner, but this does seem to make sense. I recommend that you contact your family Doctor and discuss this with them. If they agree, it would be great peace of mind to include children’s chewable Benadryl in your emergency kit — just in case!
Thank You!

aren’t shing, but you can bet that a lot of that activity includes the shing crowd.
of reasons why June is a shing highlight. First o , the weather is usually much more pleasant, although this year, with the frequent rain, that may be debatable. High muddy streams and rivers can quickly put a damper on shing conditions. As I write this piece, our Susquehanna River is running quite high and very muddy and discolored, no doubt putting a damper on shing opportunities. Of course, another reason June attracts more people to our lakes and streams is vacationing; school’s out, and many folks are taking time o work. It’s time to get the boat out and head to the lake or river. If you are wondering if people are doing that yet, head to a nearby lake. My brother and I went shing at Bald Eagle State Park recently and had a hard time nding a place to park a er we dropped the boat in at the boat launch. Of course, all those boaters
Another reason for the increased shing activity is that about all the sh species are now active and open to shing. e usual big increase in shing activity begins in April with the opening of trout season, and now, in June, our bass season has opened. Other sh species that are actively being pursued now are walleyes, pike, muskies, pickerel, and even cat sh. Another highly sought-a er group of sh come summer are pan sh, which include bluegills, perch, and crappies for the most part.
By the way, those pan sh aren’t just a summertime pursuit since they are also o en active all winter long and are o en the targeted species for us ice shermen. Needless to say, when it comes to shing, I’m pretty open-minded; I like to go a er all the species mentioned and with a variety of techniques.
Come trout season, I’m hitting the local streams with my yrod. I usually start with nymphs and streamers, but like a lot of other y shermen, I look forward to picking up my rst trout on a dry y. With the higher-than-usual water levels in our streams, the trout numbers
seem to be holding up pretty well, and if the weather cooperates into the summer months, we may still have some decent trout shing.
If I’m not on a trout stream somewhere, you can bet I’m heading out to a lake or river for some bass shing or a er a variety of pan sh. For the most part, this type of shing brings out my spinning gear or bait-casting equipment. at being said, however, I should point out that some great fun can be had working a yrod with a surface popper for bass or even bluegills come the month of June. In the meantime, all the usual bass lures like jigs, spinnerbaits, wacky rigs, Ned rigs, crankbaits, plastic worm rigs, and surface lures can all
be productive.
As we roll into the summer months, you can nd sh in a variety of places on the lakes, streams, and rivers. Crappies are moving out to deeper water, but bass and bluegills may still be in and around cover in bays and lake shores. You may end up exploring all over a lake depending on what sh species you are a er and what equipment and techniques you plan to utilize.
My wife doesn’t know it yet, but I’m planning a cruise for us now that June is here. I’m planning on taking our boat to Blanchard Dam for a day of shing, then we’ll stop at the “ barbecue rib place” in Beech Creek on the way home.

Leaving Her Mark
For Alizabeth Schuler and her South Williamsport High School softball teammates, it was like Ground Hog Day all over again. As the state championship game ended, the Mounties fell to state powerhouse Neshannock for the second year in a row. Emotions overflowed, both from the players on the field and the legion of blue-clad fans cheering from the stands.
“As soon as the game was over, I was really sad at first because we had lost the state championship game,” Schuler recalled. “Then, when I thought more about it, I was so proud of myself and our players because we made it to the state championship two years in a row. We gave it everything we could, and having it end there on that Penn State field made it feel a lot better.”
Despite the bitter finale for her and her six decorated senior teammates, this is a team the school and community will long remember, and Schuler’s eyepopping statistics fill the South record book.
Schuler’s interest in pitching began at a young age, as she watched her
older sister, Lexi, learn the skills of the position.
“I was about three when Lexi started pitching. When I was little, I just thought it was fun. When I got older, I knew that it was my place on the field, and I took it more seriously. I knew that I had to be good for the teammates playing behind me.”
Schuler’s skill in the circle was the driving force behind the Lady Mounties’ success, but her style differed from the hard-throwing pitchers that dominate games. Her pitching repertoire featured five pitches: fastball, change-up, curve, rise ball, and her favorite, the drop ball. The effectiveness of her arsenal, with 71% of her pitches thrown for strikes, produced 208 groundball outs, compared to her 118 strikeouts, a rarity in the fast pitch game.
“She was a model of consistency,” described South Williamsport coach Tom O’Malley. “She gave us a chance to win every game as a pitcher, and her bat spoke for itself. The best way to describe her is she is a winner.
“She works as hard as any player I’ve
coached. She always strives to get better, and her work ethic is off the charts. She is never satisfied, never complains, never any compliancy, and continues working to get better. She was the team leader, and her drive rubbed off on our players just by her work ethic.
As good as she was on the pitching rubber, stepping into the batter’s box gave her even greater joy.
“I like to hit more. Hitting is less stressful. I knew that if I didn’t get a hit, my teammates could pick me up. But if I threw one bad pitch, it is going over the fence.”
Those same fences were a target Schuler’s bat many times cleared. During her varsity career, she walloped a school-record 40 home runs among her 154 hits, drove in 134 runs, scored 113 runs, and compiled a .490 batting average. She improved every year at the plate, hitting .381, .495, .505, and .556 as a senior.
Many of those hits produced memorymaking moments. As a junior, her
100th career base hit was a home run in a District IV quarter-final victory. As a senior, she celebrated her 18th birthday by hitting two home runs while pitching a 10-0 shutout against Holy Redeemer in the opening round of the state playoffs.
South assistant coach Cory Goodman has witnessed Schuler’s skill set from the Little League Softball World Series through her final pitch as a senior.
“She was obviously our leader. She is not an outgoing verbal leader, but performance-wise, the other girls rally around her. She is one of the hardestworking kids I’ve ever been around. From nine years old through her senior year, she was constantly working in the circle, in the field, and in the batter’s box.
“In our area, she’s overall the best offense player. What she has been able to accomplish speaks for itself, and I don’t think there is anyone above her.”
With her high school softball career concluded, Schuler participated in another ‘competition’ this past weekend, representing her school at Wellsboro’s Laurel Festival.
She was also active in a variety of high school activities, including volleyball, basketball, MINI-THON, several
Scott Lowery
fund-raising projects, and a member of Students Against Destructive Decisions, the National Honor Society, and NHS Blood Drives. She will be attending Bloomsburg University in the fall to study nursing and play so ball.
“I’ve had a lot of wonderful memories playing at South,” she added. “Going to Myrtle Beach to play so ball my freshman year with a new head coach and new teammates and playing in two state championship games were very special experiences.”
Temporary World Series positions from 8/13 - 8/24 include:

• Laundry/Housekeeping
“I am partial. I think she is the best player in the area,” O’Malley concluded. She battles the pitcher every at-bat. As a coach, I had a ton of con dence in her at the plate, and she came through in so many big spots for us. Considering the schedule we played, the pitchers, and the competition we faced, she put together good at-bats, and as the numbers showed, she was very productive. I was just glad she was on our team.
So is every South Williamsport Mountaineer so ball fan!

ongratulations to the Montoursville Warriors. The 2025 baseball team had an unforgettable season. They finished with a 20-5 record: a PIAA District IV chip and a trip to the PIAA AAAA state finals. The Warriors never backed down. They had their opportunities but were nipped 5-4 by a mighty Indiana, PA squad with several Division 1 prospects. Montoursville got hot at the right time. They played some fantastic TEAM baseball. Splendid pitching and a solid defense. Timely hits and superb coaching led to their postseason successes. It was a fun ride for the families and fans. And many of the kids are now appreciating their experiences. One of the joys of part-time scribing is having the opportunity to touch base with many of these youngsters. Regardless of the sport, I look forward to these interactions. A phone call, a text, or a quick visit to Wegmans. Sure. We chat about the games or events and why I am doing a story. But the conversations we share are priceless. It keeps me in the loop. So much fun. Hilarious actually. Lycoming County is a rather small place, and everyone is related. I already have a connection to most of these student-athletes. I am friends with your parents. You were on a team with my son, Jensen. Your coach played hoops for

me. I know your uncle. Last night was no different. And special. Another thunderstorm was brewing. I decided to stay home instead of fishing. I reached out to Kris because I was getting close to a deadline. He told me the boys would give me a call on their way back from a college visit. The phone rang around 6:30. I spent the next thirty minutes on speaker with my young friends Logan and Noah Kirby. It was a great chat as we went over everything. The Kirby boys were key members of the Montoursville Warriors baseball team. Logan just wrapped up his junior campaign. He is a crafty pitcher and a solid first baseman. Little big brother Noah is a fine catcher. My man is a stud, and he finished up his sophomore season.
“We had a great run,” Logan explained. “It was a total team effort. We got hot when it mattered. A lot of people didn’t think we would go as far. But we were always confident. We really bonded as a squad. Everyone played a part. We were together on and off. Hanging out and having fun. It was a great experience.”
“It was so awesome to make it to the final,” Noah added. “It lived up to the hype. We were down early, but we were never out. We had our chances, but we came up short. We never got rattled and played hard until the very end. It was great seeing all of our

fans, and we had so much support. I was so proud of my teammates, and this run will be something I will remember.”
Logan Kirby is one of the best pitchers in the area. He has a career 4-1 postseason record and a stunning 1.78 ERA. Logan was simply outstanding in the PIAA AAAA Eastern Final. He had an absolute gem. The Warriors blanked Pope John II 6-0 to advance to the title game. The older Kirby threw a six-hit shutout. Not today, Catholics. He had the other team double-guessing. Logan’s team was behind him. They made great plays, and his young brother Noah served as the catcher.
“I was so happy for him,” Noah shared. “Logan had his stuff that game. I have so much fun when I catch him. We have done it so many times. But this was on the biggest stage. I have a very close relationship with him. I know what buttons to push, and I hold him accountable. The other guys can’t talk to Logan the way I can. I live down the hall. I tell him how it is.”
“He is a character,” Logan chuckled. “Nobody knows me better than Noah. He knows what to do. How to motivate me. Our chemistry on the mound is super tight. It sure was special having him out there when I ran into trouble. He said the right things, and he was a huge help.”
Little brother Noah was the man in the state final. He went 3-4 with three huge RBIs. Noah was clutch. He did everything he could to keep the Warriors in the game. Noah was also super solid behind the plate. He was a wall and even picked off a runner on third base. Several folks took notice. The younger Kirby was also a fantastic
baseball player. “I had no doubts that Noah would come up big,” Logan recalled. “We were gaining some confidence. Noah was down in the count, but he absolutely scorched one. Scoring two big runs for us late in the game. He wasn’t afraid. That pitcher may be going to Texas Tech, but Noah was never rattled. I knew something good was about to happen.”
“Yes. I had some great at-bats,” Noah said. “We all did our very best. I was able to make contact. And hit the ball hard. That’s what you need to do in those situations. Again. It was a total team effort. I may have had some moments in the Championship. But it was different guys stepping up throughout the season. We all played together. It didn’t matter who got the credit. It was a fantastic year, and it was so much fun. I miss them already.”
Logan and Noah Kirby have a busy summer. They play on several travel teams. Their parents, Kris and Darci, are outstanding folks. They are always in the stands. We go back several years. I also know their Uncle Kevin quite well. Great family. I remember the Kirby brothers growing up. Playing baseball and many other sports. They are somewhat different in their actions, but they both know how to get the job done. I had a feeling that someday they would shine. Major props to the Montoursville Warriors, especially to my young friends. It was a fantastic season, and they turned many heads. Congratulations on your achievements. Many more to come for these two kids. Brothers Kirby. Yes. Cheers.
