Crosscutters, Cookouts, and Common Sense
The Boys of Summer are back at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field. I can’t wait to get up to the ballpark and see my good friends, Rhashan, the Director of Smiles who I promoted to VP of All the Fun, the multi-hat-wearing VP of Marketing and Public Relations, Gabe Sinicropi, who also does so much for the Chamber of Commerce, and Vice President, GM Doug Estes, who holds the fort down behind the scenes, making sure everything is just right for a ball game.
The 2024 MLB Draft League Champions will look to go back-to-back while providing Major League entertainment at a Minor League price. You can find Crosscutters’ information within our pages every week about how to get out to the old ballpark and enjoy the happenings.
That gets me to my first 2025 Grand Slam Giveaway opportunity. Simply be one of the first four folks to call or shoot me a text at 570-337-0755, and you’re a winner. The Grand Slam giveaway tagging comes from the fact that four individuals will win four tickets for our box seats and Cutters’ cash towards dinner
for four while you’re taking in the action. I’ll even ask Rhashan to stop by and say hello to all four of you if you would like.
Again, please don’t bother my hard-working staff at the office; call or text me directly, and if I can’t answer, leave a message. Your spot in the batting order will be held according to the time you reached out. I wish you good luck and look forward to hearing from you.
That gets me to another great summertime giveaway that editor Steph kicked off last week, or maybe throw out the first pitch, would cover it better this time of year. I was glad to see her favorite team, the Atlanta Braves, finally climbed over the .500 mark this past week. That will make her a little happier, especially since my Philadelphia Phillies are sitting in first place as I’m penning this.
As most know, the Phillies can always find a way to play themselves out of the top spot by the time you’re reading this.
The Webb Weekly Great American Cookout summer prize pack giveaway can be found on page 7. I’m happy to report that several folks have already gotten their entry form in our top hat collection point at the front of the office.
We threw in a little change up to the contest this year. We flipped the grill, which is assembled and includes a full tank of gas courtesy of Elery Nau Hardware, to a Blackstone.
In addition to these great folks in Montoursville, my normal cast of characters is back to kick the contest up a notch. And believe me, they are characters.
Rupert’s Specialty Meats and my lifetime friend Mikey Rupert will provide a $50 gift card for something to throw on the Blackstone.
Old Chet Ruth, not to be confused with young Chet Ruth, both who are also longtime friends of the Webb family, will provide something cold to wash down whatever you choose. This, of course, from Frosty’s Beverage in Muncy; if Chet is razzing someone or telling a story, son-in-law John will be there to help you out.
So, what do you have to do to win? Simply fill and clip out the entry form and get it to the Webb Weekly office by dropping it off or mailing it in. The winner will be announced in the June 25th issue, so you can have that new Blackstone to try out for the 4th of July.
With all the outdoor and warm weather activities just getting underway, I believe
it’s a good time to provide a public service message stressing one of the things often missing in today’s world: common sense.
The weeks ahead will bring all kinds of opportunities to enjoy the water, biking and motorcycling, fireworks and campfires, along with more outdoor activities than I could list. There have already been several tragedies in our area involving these things, and hopefully, there are months of better, warmer weather ahead. Please use your common sense and don’t let it become lost when it involves water, fire, and just living the better summer life in general. If you see somebody, especially when it involves children doing something stupid, please say something. Maybe it’s just an innocent mistake, or someone has a medical issue, maybe it’s much more, which may include alcohol or, worse, someone unfamiliar with our area for the wrong reasons. Either way, maybe you can help to prevent a tragedy. Please apply your common sense if the individual you observe is belligerent or behaving in a reckless manner, like speeding through a neighborhood. Immediately notify the proper authorities and avoid escalating the situation if possible.
Let’s all be safe out there and also help our fellow man accomplish the same thought.
God Bless America.

Almost Purr-fect Timing: Adopt a Shelter Cat Month!
June is all but here, which means it’s time to celebrate one of the fluffiest, sassiest, and most independent companions out there — the humble house cat! Yep, it’s officially Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and there’s no better time to open your heart (and your home) to a furry friend in need.
Every year, shelters across the country are filled to the brim with cats and kittens, especially now as we are in prime “kitten season,” which peaks in spring and early summer. While we’d love to bring all of them home (don’t tempt me), even adopting just one can change a life forever — including yours.
Thinking about adopting? Here’s how to get ready:
Before you rush off to the nearest shelter and fall head-over-paws for the first set of whiskers that boops your nose, it’s good to be prepared. Here’s how to make sure your home is cat-ready:
1. Stock Up on the Essentials
You’ll want to have the basics on hand before bringing your new roommate home:
– A litter box (plus litter — they tend to go together — don’t forget the scoop!)
– Food and water bowls (I highly recommend a water fountain, kitties love them!)
GRADUATE!
– Cat food (ask the shelter what they’re currently eating to avoid tummy troubles)
– A cozy bed or blanket
– Scratching posts (unless you’d like your furniture to become one)
– A few different toys to see which kind they like!
2. Cat-Proof Your Home
Much like toddlers, cats are curious, nimble, and can get into just about anything. Be sure to:
– Remove or secure cords, small objects, or toxic plants (If you have questions about your plants, check out https://www.aspca. org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/catsplant-list)
– Put away breakables — especially anything that looks fun to bat around
– Double-check windows and screens for escape routes
3. Prep a Safe Room
Give your cat a quiet space to adjust — a spare room or bathroom works great. It’ll help reduce stress and make introductions to the rest of the house smoother.
4. Schedule a Vet Visit
Even if your shelter has already taken care
of the basics, scheduling a vet appointment soon after adoption is a good idea. Plus, you’ll want to establish care if any health issues arise later.
5. Go Slow and Let Them Come to You
Cats aren’t usually fans of a grand welcome parade. Let them explore at their own pace, and resist the urge to smother them with love (we know, it’s hard). Treats, toys, and a calm environment go a long way.
Why Adopt?
Besides the obvious (they’re adorable), adopting a shelter cat literally saves lives. When you adopt, you’re giving a second chance to an animal that might have had a rough start — and you’re making room at the shelter for the next cat in need.
Plus, shelter cats come in every variety — snuggly lap cats, mischievous explorers, quiet companions, and chatty attention-seekers. There’s truly a perfect match for every home. As someone who has two shelter cats, with two very different personalities, I can attest to the variety available!
So, if you’ve been toying with the idea of becoming a cat parent, there’s no better time than right meow. Head to your local shelter, fall in love, and give a kitty a forever home.
If you are interested in adopting a cat or kitten in June (or sooner!), please get in touch with the Lycoming County SPCA, LAPS, or the Clinton County SPCA. After all — life’s just better with a cat in it.

Crosscutters Begin Their Defense of MLB Draft League Championship Beginning June 4
By Lou Hunsinger Jr.
For the first time in a little more than 20 years, the Williamsport Crosscutters will seek to defend a league championship they won the previous season when they open their season at State College on June 4. They begin their home schedule on Friday, June 6.
The other teams of the MLB Draft League will be hungrily trying to knock the Cutters off their championship perch.
It was the first championship won by the Cutters in this league. The Cutters made a previous visit to the championship game in 2022, losing to the West Virginia Black Bears before winning it all last year against the Trenton Thunder.
In addition to offering some great baseball at the Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field, the folks with the Crosscutters will be offering some interesting and memorable promotions at the ballpark this year.
Commemorating the Cutters league championship may be the centerpiece of this year’s promotions. They will give away a replica championship ring on opening night, June 6th, to the first 1,000 fans. There will be a championship t-shirt giveaway on June 17th, and a championship pin will be given away on June 19th.
There will be some wonderful and interesting additional happenings in the ballpark to entertain the fans. The Phillie Phanatic will be appearing on June 18th
An always popular act will return — Tyler’s Balancing Night, on July 17th, and on the next night, July 18th, will be “Wrestling Night” with an appearance by WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas.
The Zooper Stars will entertain on July 6th
One of the most unusual events will be the post-game drone show on June 26.
For fans of the legendary “Director of Smiles,” Rhashan, there will be an auction of his jersey on July 1st.
One of the more interesting giveaways is “The Lucky Ducky Hot Tub Giveaway,” which will give fans the chance to win a new hot tub from PDC Spas valued at over $10,000! Qualify to win by playing Launcha-Ball at any Monday-Friday game. Land a Launch-a-Ball in the Lucky Ducky Target to qualify. All qualifiers will be invited back to the August 30th home game to pick a Lucky Ducky. Whoever picks the winning duck will win the PDC Spas hot tub package, which includes delivery and installation! Day of the Week Promotions Return: • MONDAYS- Free Hot Dog Monday. A free Country Store hot dog for the first 500 fans.
• Shade Trees

• SATURDAYS – Post-Game Fireworks.
• SUNDAYS – Baseball Bingo. Win one of 10 new Shop Vacs. Kids Run the Bases. Kids ages 12 and under run the bases after every Sunday game.
One of the more interesting and notable aspects of the ballpark this year that should make the fan experience even safer is the new protective netting in the ballpark. Journey Bank Ballpark will now feature additional protective netting for fans. This past fall, Major League Baseball mandated that ALL Minor League and MLB Partner League stadiums be equipped with netting protecting ALL seating areas of the facility. We hope you’ll agree that the added protection benefits fans and employees alike. Thanks to the City of Williamsport, State Senator Gene Yaw, and Rep. Jamie Flick for
their help securing project funding.
A new, revitalized coaching staff will be directing the Cutters’ fortunes this year.
Cutters officials are excited to have Kenny Thomas as their manager in 2025. Kenny was the Third Base Coach during their 2024 championship season. He spent 34 seasons as a college head coach, 12 at Volunteer State CC (TN) & 22 at Division II USC Aiken (SC). He compiled an overall collegiate record of 1,279-639 before retiring in 2021. He led USC Aiken to a national No. 1 ranking during the 2013 & 2017 regular seasons.
He will be joined by hitting coach Sean Miller, who returns for his second season in Williamsport, and new pitching coach Jesse Estrada.
There will be new food and beverage offerings including Country Store Bacon Cheddar Hot Dog, Hog Heaven Dog (topped w/ Gunzey’s pulled pork & bacon bits), Rodeo Burger (topped w/ cheese, pulled pork, onion ring & BBQ sauce), quesadillas and three varieties of Fox Den Cold Brew.
Gunzey’s at the Game returns with their famous sausage, cheesesteaks, brisket, and new expanded varieties of their mac & cheese bowls.
A new ice cream flavor will also be offered, Boomer’s Cookie Crunch, by Eder’s Ice Cream! Blue vanilla ice cream with crushed Oreos, graham crackers & marshmallow swirl!
Before each home game, the Crosscutters will honor a local teacher/educator.
All Cutters games can be streamed live at crosscutters.com
See you at the ballpark!

Summer Fragrance
By Bernadette Ulsamer
Personal fragrance comes in many forms and, for my money, is the final touch on any outfit.
While I’m a firm believer in having a signature scent, I also think the change of season lends itself to switching out your goto perfume for a fresh musk to match your warmer-weather looks.
Think about it: does it make sense to wear the cozy, woodsy scents of autumn and winter with flowing maxi dresses and matching tropical print sets? No, of course not. Summer is the time to embrace exotic blooms, sunshine-dried laundry, sweet coconuts, and sea salt aromas. Here’s a rundown of potential fragrances to enhance your summer aesthetic.
First, what is your ideal fragrance profile? Some brands will have online quizzes to help you decide on your preferred scent, which conveniently coordinates to one of the products they’d like to sell you. There are also novelty quizzes on BuzzFeed to narrow down your scent profile. These are more fun than accurate.
I think the best way to determine a scent preference is by going out there and using the nostrils the Lord gave you. Hit the perfume aisle, the candle aisle, and even the produce section of the grocery store and start sniffing around.
For summer, the obvious notes are floral-based, like jasmine, rose, and iris. Other plant-based fragrances to consider are
pear, raspberry, lemon, and green apple. But summer isn’t just about fruit and floral top notes. You still want depth and maybe a bit of mystery in your summer scent. Don’t shy away from flavors of oud, sage, bergamot, and sandalwood. For something with a bit of spice, also sniff around saffron, pepper, and patchouli.
I was recently stranded at the Denver International Airport waiting on a delayed flight, and took the opportunity to check out the designer scents at the duty-free shop. I wasn’t all that impressed with the Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, or even Chanel #5 colognes. So, don’t think only schmancy, fancy perfumes can meet your fragrance goals, focus on essential aromas and ingredients, instead of names and packaging.
Another great way to explore fragrance is with scent samplers. Jo & Malone, Salt & Stone, and Ministry of Scent offer sample sets to help you explore various aromas to see what resonates with you. You can also mix and match to create different notes that speak to your olfactory preferences. Plus, the clean packaging makes for great gifts.
Speaking of packaging, one thing to consider is the form in which you prefer your scent to be delivered. Spray perfume, scented oil, roll-on fragrance, powders, mists, incense, a mixture of several sources? Does the delivery method even matter?
For some folks, it’s not just scent notes, but also the product type that appeals to their

senses. If that is important to you, then once you’ve discovered your preferred fragrance profile, further hone your search by distribution method.
I’m a fan of mixing different scents through different products. Oil on the back of the ears, spray perfume on the decolletage, and an overall body misting.
Speaking of body, where you put your scent contributes to your overall fragrance experience. For the warmer, more humid months, you want to strike a balance between intriguing and refreshing while avoiding a heavy hand with application. Also, be mindful of other products that aren’t the source of your fragrance, but are scented, like body lotion, lipstick, and hair products. It may take some trial and error, but you’ll want to experiment with how your fragrances interact with each other to strike the right chord. Or, better yet, opt for unscented products for summer, so as not to overwhelm your olfactory glands.
The Williamsport Home’s Woodland Heights and Woodland Vista Personal Care Apartments and Suites offer tailored care for seniors who want to live independently but may need support with everyday tasks like medication management, bathing, or dressing.
Our certified staff will work with you and your family to develop a personalized care plan that caters to your specific needs while making sure you retain as much independence as you desire.
Woodland Heights and Woodland Vista residents have complete access to our campus amenities and activities, and are eligible for on-campus rehabilitation services.
Of course, with summer comes sunscreen, and there’s a whole nostalgia-based business on the smell of sunblock. In general, mineral-based sunscreens will not compete with your chosen fragrance. Brands like Paula’s Choice and Coola have an array of sun protection products for body, face, and hair for daily use. For days at the pool, river, lake, or ocean, then go for those classics like Banana Boat and Sun Bun and revel in the coconutty, sea-salty scents from yesteryear.
Next up, occasion-based scents. So far, we’ve been exploring fragrance for the summer months, but aromas can be even more
refined by place, time of day, and event, no matter the season. You may already have daily warm-weather eau de toilette as part of your standard morning routine. For special occasions, you may want to amp things up with a more complex perfume.
For casual days, you can just spritz on a combo hair and body mist and call it a day. I’m a big fan of layering scents depending on the occasion.
I like to use eucalyptus and mint body deodorant for my base, then a light oud solid for behind the ears, and finish with a clean perfume to spray, delay, and then walk through.
Date night might find you dabbing some essential oils on your pulse points, like wrists, underside of the elbow, behind the knees, and inside the ankles.
Lastly, washing away the fragrance.
Summertime can come with a lot of smells, both intended and inevitable, thanks to sweat, humidity, air quality, and sun exposure. There are pros and cons as to when to shower/ bathe in the summer. I’m a big night-time showerer, but you may find morning showers the best way to beat the heat. Of course, who isn’t into getting clean in the middle of the day after outside work? Regardless of when you get clean, be mindful of the soaps and body washes you’re using. You may not want to trade one scent profile for another at the end of the day. Best to opt for unscented or clean-scented products to wash away dirt, sweat, makeup, sunblock, and perfume for a scentless slate as you start, end, or restart your day.

This Week’s LION: The Incomparable Carol Sides
By Larry Stout
arol Sides is not a household name, but those who know her know two things about her.
First, she is one of the most gracious people in the universe, and the other is that she is a very sincere Catholic parishioner.
I have known her through her past activity with the Faith-Based Committee of the Lycoming County Heroin Task Force and her current involvement with the Lycoming County Republican Party. Her graciousness is especially evident in her activities, such as starting the local chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).
Carol Sides’s Catholic heritage goes back to her education from kindergarten to twelfth grade at an all-girls Catholic school taught by nuns. She then went to the Catholic institution of Misericordia University in Dallas, PA. To this day, she supports the Sisters of Christian Charity at Divine Providence Hospital, which she engages with each month with a group called “Companions of Mother Pauline.”
Everyone who knows Carol knows she has a heart as big as the world, and this was recognized by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on April 23, 2025, when Carol Sides received a proclamation from the Department of State for her twelve years of service on the board of the Bureau of Professional
Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists.
This important state board regulates the practice, licensure, and registration of engineers, land surveyors, and geologists in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to safeguard life, health, and property.
This organization ensures that the projects that greatly impact the public are not compromised in any way. If there is even a small discrepancy from the required standards, it must be corrected, and those who wish to challenge the bureau’s decisions must come before this board.
So how does Carol Sides, a musician, become a member of a bureau that certifies engineers, investigates building projects, reviews surveying programs, etc.?
It was 2012 when Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett needed to fill a vacancy and offered it to Carol Sides. He knew the integrity and grit of Carol Sides and asked her to take the position. Carol reminded the governor that she was a musician and did not know the first thing about engineering, surveying, and geology. Governor Corbett told her that this was exactly what he needed — someone who was a public person, not connected to the engineers in any way, who could look at the issues and challenges that would come up with this bureau’s hearings with an objective viewpoint. And not just that, but they also needed someone who was 100 percent sincerely honest; one that would not and could not be compromised.
The governor singled her out because Carol Sides has a reputation for undeniable integrity. Carol’s learning from the nuns drilled into her mind and heart to be honest, true, and always be willing to help those who needed help.
In fact, Carol was so enamored by the nuns she wanted to become one, but the Lord obviously had another path for her. Instead, she married a man with the same values and love of music as she did, and 58 years of marriage next month with Peter Sides testifies that she made the right choice.
Through those many years, an entire book could be written on the number of people that Carol Sides’ assistance and support have impacted. Not surprisingly, she could not say “no” to Governor Corbett, but she also had no idea what she was getting into. It
turned out to be quite a lot!
The board consisted of three engineers, three land surveyors, three geologists, and three laypeople who had no connection whatsoever with those fields. The lay people members are representing the “public.” They were not figureheads either; they are essential. For example, by law, the board is not allowed to conduct ANY activities without the “public” represented. They are also allowed to ask questions for clarity from any of the clients coming before the board.
Once a month for the past twelve years, Carol would be given a pile of papers that were often more than a foot high, all relating to the cases that would come before the board. These meetings would sometimes last as long as seven hours, with just a short meal break.
Finding someone willing to do this who is simply willing to be an observer, with a minimum stipend, month after month for over a decade — well, let it be said that there are very, very few, and Carol Sides was one of them. In fact, it is so stressful that Pennsylvania governors could not find anyone else like Carol. For several years, she was the only “public” representative.
Al Schmidt, Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State, recognized her with a proclamation acknowledging her “commitment to the highest standards of ethics, betterment of the engineer and surveying professions and responsible acts as a public servant.”
Congratulations, Carol, you are a treasure to us all!

Transform Jersey Shore Area 2025, August 4-8
Having grown up in the Upstate New York countryside and then raising my family in North Central Pennsylvania, I’ve realized that small-town people care for their own.
Let’s be honest: if every time we’re in a jam, we wait for some big agency to come and bail us out, we might be waiting for a very long while.
I’ve noticed that people in this region are especially generous with their resources.
A great example of this type of generosity is the mission-driven group Transform Jersey Shore Area (TJSA), whose motto is One community, One neighborhood, One life at a time. “Transform Jersey Shore Area (TJSA) is a non-profit group of Jersey Shore area Christians dedicated to helping elderly and disadvantaged homeowners in the Jersey Shore Area,” said Craig Seasholtz, coordinator of TJSA.
2025 marks the 9th year that the local mission group has focused on helping homeowners in the Jersey Shore area. Founded in 2015 by area church lead-
ers, the TJSA is comprised of members of many local churches whose aim is to help homeowners do basic home maintenance that is otherwise beyond their capacity. It may be that the homeowner lacks the funds to afford the proper maintenance, or they simply lack the physical ability to perform the required tasks.
The project came to fruition when TJSA member Lyn Thompson attended an event in the Williamsport Area where a talk was given about Transform Williamsport, which pre-existed with TJSA. She shared what she had learned with her friends and colleagues with great excitement. Her underlying question was, “Why can’t we do this in the Jersey Shore Area?”
When asked where the project operated, Seasholtz responded, “The Jersey Shore School District is our primary area of focus. We have done projects in Avis, McElhatten, Jersey Shore, Oval, Salladasburg, and Linden.” Past TJSA projects have included removing overgrown brush, repairing steps, and painting and staining decks. In addition, the group has

built wheelchair ramps, spread stone on driveways, and pressure washed, among other things. “The repairs are greatly appreciated by the homeowners and bring a sense of satisfying servanthood to the many volunteers,” said Craig Seasholtz, one of the coordinators of TJSA.
runs August 4th-8th. The Core Planning Committee meeting was recently held on Thursday, May 22nd, at 6:30 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church (corner of Thompson Street & Mt. Pleasant Avenue, Jersey Shore), where TJSA members planned and brainstormed projects. Beginning August 4th, volunteers will begin Mission Week with breakfast at 7:00 a.m., and then daily service project assignments will be given.
“We meet with homeowners in advance during our work week to evaluate the feasibility of accepting the homeowner’s request,” said Seasholtz. “People can apply to receive help from TJSA by picking up a homeowner application at any of the following locations: Jersey Shore Post Office, Avis Post Office, Antes Fort Post Office, Buttorff’s Hardware, Wool’s Hardware, Avis Building Supply, Jersey Shore Public Library, Shore Diner, Gateway Cafe, Jersey Shore YMCA, and Waltz’s Creamery and Farmhouse Cafe.”
Here is my ask: TJSA needs volunteers and donations. Those with some building or home maintenance experience are especially sought, but everyone and anyone is appreciated and has something to offer. To register as a volunteer for this year’s mission week, go online and visit the group’s website, www.TransformJSA. org. Then click on the link for Volunteer Application from the menu on the left.

Sackbuts, Lobcocks and Pohutukawa: Weird Words Reaches No. 90
By Joseph W. Smith III
Having originated in May 2023, Webb’s “Weird Words” now stands at a nice round 90 installments over the past two years.
Sometime this summer, we’ll notch our 100th article on oddball vocabulary. So with my own running list also nearing a bit of a landmark — 55 more terms to reach 3,000! — here’s another batch to make you feel smarter:
Derring-do (DARE-ing-doo, noun) –Daring, heroic or reckless action. A rather old-fashioned phrase now associated with swashbuckling and matinee idols like Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn, this does in fact come from the words dare and do. (Personally, it always makes me think of Inigo Montoya.)
Gouache (GWAHSH, or goo-AHSH; noun) – A method of painting that uses opaque watercolors mixed with gum; also, the paint itself; or an artwork in this style.
Famously favored by British artist J.M.W. Turner — and likewise in commercial art and 20th-century animation — gouache offers “quick coverage and total hiding power”; but it looks different dry than wet, so gouache can be tough to match
“over multiple painting sessions” (Wikipedia).
There now — don’t you feel smarter already?
Happen-so (HAP-en-so, noun) – According to dictionary.com, this is Southern U.S. slang for “chance” or “accident.” It is of course related to the word-family that includes happen, perhaps and happiness; its connection to the latter suggests that this much-sought-after condition is highly dependent on circumstance and that — as many thinkers and clerics have urged — states like joy, comfort and peace of mind make better goals in life.
(Now maybe you can feel calmer too.)
Lobcock (LOB-kok, noun) – A stupid, blundering, awkward or brutish person; a lout. A rare word that I could find only at Merriam-Webster online, it’s derived from lob — a British slang term for the same sort of individual.
In researching this, I learned likewise that lout can be a verb for “to bow in respect” or “to submit, yield” (as in, “I louted to my superiors”).
Not sure if that makes you feel smarter; it actually makes me feel kinda weird. Lobscouce (LOB-skowse, noun) –While I was looking up lobcock, I also came upon this unusual word, which is “a sailor’s stew of meat, vegetables, and
“Do you recycle your plastic bags at the grocery store? Here are other plastic fi lm/bags that are recyclable and accepted: Clean bread bags, case overwrap, dry cleaning bags, newspaper sleeves, produce bags, paper towel/toilet paper plastic wrap, ice bags, retail bags, air pillows (used in packaging). All plastic must be clean, dry, and free of food residue and taken to your local grocery store for plastic bag recycling.”
hardtack” (Collins). It is possibly related to one obscure meaning of loblolly, “a thick gruel” used by seamen.
Hardtack, incidentally, is a dry, hard, unsalted biscuit that was once common in military rations — especially at sea. It apparently lasts for months and, by most accounts, takes nearly that long to chew and swallow.
Pohutukawa (puh-hoo-tuh-KAH-wuh, noun) – “A New Zealand tree with crimson flowers and silvery leaves below”; also, a New Zealand variety of sweet potato (Merriam-Webster). From Maori, the Native Polynesian language of that region.
Sackbut (SACK-but, noun) – A Medieval type of trombone, also called a sacbut
or even sagbut. That last variant reminds me of a fairly recent “Weird Words” column about terms that don’t mean what you think; I’m sure this falls under that heading as well — even though it’s found in older translations of Daniel 3:5. In actuality, it derives from two French terms meaning “pull” and “push” (Random House Collegiate).
Squarrose (SQUARE-ose, [last syllable like dose], adj.) – A botanical term to describe plants having rough, ragged or scale-like growths — such growths also sometimes called “bracts” or “processes.”
Gee, now I feel smarter too.
So I guess I better quit while I’m ahead — and we’ll see you here next week!

Summer Bucket List Ideas
Here we are in the last week of May, and June starts on Sunday. Folks, how on earth did we get here? How are we almost six months through the year? I feel like I just packed my Christmas stuff up yesterday. I didn’t, haha, but it feels that way with how fast time is going.
Andrea McElroy
They say May is the new December, and I believe it. It’s been so darn busy every day that I still have my Easter stuff up. I have to work on getting my Americana stuff out here tomorrow. So by the time you read this, the Easter stuff will be put away, and red, white, and blue will fill our home.
The only time we had available this month was a couple of Monday evenings. That was it.
I actually filled in our May calendar when the month started because I needed to see it all on paper. I knew it was going to be absolutely crazy. Only having a few Monday nights open felt a little overwhelming, but we made it, and are ready to enjoy the summer!
What are your plans this summer? Any vacations planned? Fun local day trips? Trying a new restaurant or starting a new hobby?? Going to take a ride on the Hiawatha or have a picnic at the PA Grand Canyon? What about stopping it at Knoebels or visiting Lancaster? We have so much to do locally or within a few hours of us.
I got to visit the Flight 93 Memorial in Stoystown last year. Wow. That was truly something to see. It was so quiet and peaceful as you walked the field where the plane had come down. Thinking about what these people went through that day was gutwrenching, but they all died as heroes. I am really glad we made the stop to visit.
We were seeing a rock concert that evening in Johnstown, so we made a day out of it. It’s definitely a great day trip.
Another great idea to visit this summer is Lake Tobias Wildlife Park in Halifax. We took the kids there a few years back, and it was such a fun day.
I absolutely loved feeding the donkeys and goats. They were hilarious! Guess what else we got to feed? A giraffe! I mean, come on, it’s not every day we can feed or see a giraffe.
You can take a safari ride and see so many other animals too. We had such a great fun family day together that day. I remember it like it was yesterday; our kids haven’t forgotten it either. Kenzy still remembers the crazy monkeys.
Something else we do every summer is go to Sight and Sound Theater in Lancaster and watch bible stories come to life right before our eyes! Each story will touch your heart. It’s so awesome to see. This theater does an amazing job. There are so many wow factors in the show. If you don’t leave feeling moved, then something is wrong. Their sugar-covered pecans are always something we buy and eat as we watch the show, then go for dinner somewhere on our way home. Bird-in-Hand has a great buffet. You won’t go away hungry, and the food is delicious.
You know how I suggested a picnic at the PA Grand Canyon? I have done that before, and it’s something I’ll never forget. I have loved giving you ideas for the summer, and I think we will continue on this next week. Let’s try to make our summer unforgettable
before we blink, and the leaves will be changing all over again. Cheers to the start of summer!
Hot Sausage Sandwiches — A summer favorite!
Get your favorite hot or mild sausage, then grill them babies on the grill.
Cut up two peppers, one green and one red. Fry them with about one tablespoon of olive oil. Once they start getting tender, add half of a chopped onion and cook. Cook to your liking — put it on top of your sausage sandwich.
Note: Another way to do this if you don’t grill, is to add sausage to a crockpot instead. Top with one jar of a good tomato sauce (24 oz), then add peppers and onions. Cook on high for about 4 hours.
County Hall Corner: Congrats to our College Graduates And their Colleges
By Larry Stout
ommonly referred to as “Happy Valley,” State College is known for its carefree living and is the home of the Pennsylvania State University. This community of 40,700 has been designated one of the least stressful places to live in the United States by Psychology Today Even so, State College has a robust economy and unemployment rates well below both the state and national averages. For this reason, Forbes magazine ranked it among the top ten small metro areas in which to start a career or business. The American Institute for Economic Research ranked it the third best college town in the country.
Penn State University is certainly a very fine institute of higher learning, but it also helps enrollment and recognition to have a historically great football team. In fact, they have popped up as #1 on ESPN preseason rankings this year.
However, just sixty-two miles away from State College is another college city that has TWO thriving colleges and is getting noticed for more than sports. With a population of two-thirds of State College, Williamsport hosts two highly rated colleges.
Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport has earned several recognitions,
including being named a national leader in applied technology education, a Carnegie Foundation Opportunity College, and a top-ranked innovator by U.S. News & World Report. It has also been recognized as a SkillsUSA Pennsylvania Partner of the Year for its support of the organization. Additionally, the college has received a high rating from Military Times as a college for veterans.
Penn Tech (the popular name for the college) has also been recognized worldwide, with students coming from India, Pakistan, Belize, China, the Ivory Coast, Myanmar, and Saudi Arabia, according to the Penn Tech college’s website.
Pennsylvania College of Technology has the wind behind its back because this is certainly the way that society is going.
Yet on the other end of the city is Lycoming College, another excellent academic institution that is working on its third century. Founded in 1812 as Williamsport Academy, it has continued to grow and succeed with its curriculum centered on the liberal arts and sciences.
Higher learning in these fields and the colleges offering them have been going through rough times in the past decade. In that time period, 119 colleges in the United States have closed, and another 20 are expected to close this year. In Pennsylvania, seven colleges
have closed in the past three years. Given all this, Lycoming College is truly amazing. They were included in the Princeton Review’s “Best Colleges” guidebook for five consecutive years and were named a Best Value College for 2022. This recognition highlights Lycoming College’s commitment to providing a great education with excellent career preparation at an affordable price. Lycoming College is also unique in drawing students from around the world. With an enrollment of 1,200, 77 international students are coming from 26 countries.
Both schools have been blessed with strong leadership. Davie Jane Gilmore retired three years ago as President of Penn College, which she had held since 1998. Michael J. Reed is now president and is known as a
national leader in applied technology education.
Lycoming College had Ken Trachte at the helm since 2013 and is retiring as of July 1st of this year, turning over leadership to the college’s executive vice president, Charles Edmonds.
I have a particular soft spot for Dr. Trachte because he was one of the very first people that I interviewed when I began writing columns for Webb Weekly. I was hoping for twenty minutes, given how busy he was, but we talked for an hour, and it was worth every minute.
Williamsport may not have as loud a roar as State College, but we have seen excellent leadership in rocky times and have a hopeful future on the horizon.

The Bookworm Sez
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
“Earthly Materials: Journeys Through Our Bodies’ Emissions, Excretions, and Disintegrations” by Cutter Wood c.2025, Mariner
$29.99
362 pages
Oh, what a mess! Quick, grab a broom and get to work. There’s dirt here and, ugh, something liquid spilled everywhere. Careful you don’t track it around or you’ll just make it worse. Seems like you’re the source of the mess, and in the new book “Earthly Materials” by Cutter Wood, it’s unpleasant but totally normal. Take a peek in any anatomy schoolbook, and what you’ll see isn’t quite real.
The textbooks, says Wood, make the human body look neat, compartmentalized, and fresh. In the drawings, everything’s in its place. The truth, he says, is much messier.
Humans leak. They shed. They lose solids and liquids that are no longer needed to keep the body moving, working, or nourished — but stop leaking, “Stop urinating, stop defecating, stop breathing, and death is near.”
“Things,” he says, for instance, “are always going up your nose.” You need the gallon of mucus your body produces daily to save you from airborne bacteria you don’t want. Conversely, saliva, as he learned while do-
nating spit in Massachusetts, keeps good bacteria in.
In ancient times, urine was a diagnostic tool used to determine the state of one’s health. The blood you donate, he says, is often sold to a third party before it’s used — or it runs the risk of not being used at all. Different species of mammals can have differently-shaped spermatozoa, and their milk-producing organs are mostly unique, too. The product of menses, he says, is not just the lining of the uterus; it’s actually “an entirely new organ.” One of the world’s
oldest jokes was a flatulence quip written in ancient Sumeria, long before the birth of Christ. It’s possible — but very difficult — to collect someone’s last breath. The world’s oldest Neanderthal coprolite was left fifty thousand years ago in Spain. Your hair grows fastest in the springtime. And, as Wood learned at a retreat in Florida, “the causes of emesis… are as varied as they are vast” and can include psychedelic drugs. Grossed out yet? Don’t be. You may not want to talk about bodily emissions, but that doesn’t mean they’re not necessary. And it doesn’t mean you can’t read “Earthly Materials” and learn something interesting.
Indeed, there are awe-inspiring facts on nearly every page of author Cutter Wood’s narrative and quite often, it’s hard not to
laugh. Wood used himself as a guinea pig to report about the things we leave behind, and his discoveries about his own body are appealing because they’re totally relatable, true, but sometimes also bizarre. Most fun: there’s a sense of wonder in the bodily-function facts that begs not to be taken too seriously, and Woods’ nonsense-no-nonsense tone winks at readers throughout. It’s a journey of absurdities, but also cheeky reverence. That all makes a book filled with interesting things that you’ll have a hard time not sharing. Really. If you enjoy biology, science, culture, or can appreciate the awesomeness of you, you’ll love that this book is fascinating, unsophomoric, and fun. Start “Earthly Materials,” and you’ll be swept up by it.

Modeled after the American Idol® TV show, Teen Star is a musical competition among local area high school students. Journey Bank sponsors this award-winning community event each year to give high school students a unique platform to showcase their talents, to support the music programs at our area schools, and to promote the performing arts in our community.
Auditions were open to any freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior who attends a high school in Columbia, Montour, or Lycoming County or in the Warrior Run School District. The competition also
invited contestants who are high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors who permanently reside in Columbia, Montour, or Lycoming County or in the Warrior Run School District, but attend another school outside of Columbia, Montour, or Lycoming County or the Warrior Run School District, or are home-schooled or enrolled in a cyber-school.
At the finale, the 14 chosen teens perform for the audience and a panel of three judges from the music and entertainment industries. The show begins with each finalist performing and then receiving comments from the judges. After all 14 perform, the judges will choose three to compete with a second song. The audience will then get an “audience save” where they will text their
vote for a fourth finalist. From these four, the judges will choose the 2025 Journey Bank Teen Star. The top prize is $2,000, with second, third and fourth place finishers receiving $1,000, $750, and $350, respectively. All other finalists receive $100.
Over the past 14 years, hundreds of talented high school students have stepped up to audition. Since the show’s debut in 2011, the Bank has awarded $70,000 in prize money and donated more than $51,000 in ticket proceeds to the music programs at our local high schools.

any scenes in and around Williamsport will be included in a motion picture to be taken in the near future known as “Along the Susquehanna Trail.”

Fisher’s Cabinet Shop
The Roving Sportsman… Soaked to the Bone!
By Jon Pries
One of the most often asked questions I hear is “when is the best time to hunt turkeys?’ The first week of our spring season is preferred by many and there are those who are convinced that the last week of the season is the best time to call in a lonely gobbler. For sure the first week of the season is the favorite of many because the birds have not been disturbed as much as they are as the season progresses.
The beauty of the last week is twofold — by that time, many hunters have either been successful or have decided to move on to other activities. As to the turkeys, by the time the last week rolls around, the hens have been bred and are usually sitting on their nest and the gobblers are actively seeking the occasional hen that is not nesting — making them a bit more vulnerable.
But, my usual recommendation is to be out hunting whenever and wherever your time permits.
In the first half of our season, a hunter must quit hunting at noon and has until 1:00 p.m. to vacate the woods. Being in the woods well before daylight is essential so that you might hear the first gobbling of the day and move into a good shooting position to intercept the gobbler once he flies down from his roost site and comes looking for a hen.
All too often, hunters will only stick with it
for the first couple of hours after daybreak and head home if they are not hearing a gobbler. Frequently, gobblers will come in silently — not gobbling at all, so you should wait at least 45 minutes after your last call before you move or decide to go home. Further, if you are calling, a gobbler knows exactly where you are and after he spends time with his harem of hens, he may come looking for you later in the morning.
Once the second half of the season rolls around, you can hunt all day — from dawn to dusk. Gobblers are on the move throughout the entire day, feeding and looking for hens. If you can, stick with it all day, and limit your calling, since by now in the season turkeys have heard all kinds of calling and are a bit call-shy.
What about the weather? Whether it is sunny and pleasant or rainy and nasty, the turkeys are out there. They can’t check into the local Holiday Inn Express to get out of bad weather.
Being retired, I have the “luxury” of being selective of the days I like to hunt and, as such, prefer to head out on days when the weather is pleasant. I watch the weather forecasts frequently and tend to avoid the nasty all-day rainy days.
Frequently, however, the weatherman is not very accurate in his predictions.
And so it was on Friday, the day before the end of the half-day hunting, that I decided to ignore the forecast and head out to see if I
could connect with a gobbler I had watched the day before. Early morning thunderstorms were forecast to begin at about 7:00 a.m. and last several hours, but the weatherman had been wrong before, and this gobbler was getting under my skin!
I arrived at my setup location at 4:45 a.m., adjusted my equipment, and settled in to wait for the first gobbling to ring out, but the hillside was quiet. Until 7:10 a.m., when the thunder began to roll up and down the hills to my west. Often, a gobbler will shock gobble to the loud claps of thunder, but the hills remained silent. I thought about retreating for the day, but the thunder and lightning continued without any rainfall — until 8:10 a.m., when the skies opened up, and heavy rain began. I stuck it out for an hour as the rain never let up.
I stayed there since I was overlooking a field, and turkeys like to move into open fields when it rains, but no birds appeared. Fortunately, I was wearing a rain jacket, but unfortunately, I had decided not to bother with rain pants. Slowly, the rain penetrated my wool pants, and the water began running down my legs and into my boots! The rain had stopped at 9:00 a.m., but by now, I was soaked to the bone! When an hour had passed, and the thunder began to build again, I had had enough and headed to the truck. When I got home, I peeled off one rain-soaked layer after another, took a hot shower, and crawled into dry, warm clothes. It was the best part of the day!
Lesson learned. I will listen closer to the weather forecasts and revert to my usual “fair weather” days to hunt.
When you look at the title of this story, you would think I’m talking about some of the lousy, rainy weather we’ve been dealing with this spring, but I’m actually referring to something positive. What I’m actually talking about is the outstanding fishing that can be had during the spring days and particularly for black and white crappies.
Crappies spawn in the spring; males move into the shallows around vegetation and rock and wood structures to prepare spawning areas, and the females then move in to lay their eggs. Males will hang around and protect the newborns for a period of time after that.
Now is a great time to target these locations because the males are very protective, and the crappies are very active feeders.
They are often located in shallower waters along shorelines, making fishing opportunities more available even for those who don’t have access to boats.
This is also a great time of the year to introduce someone new to the activity of fishing since the crappies are usually very cooperative, and catching rates are often greater.
Even though the crappies are readily
available and often in a very cooperative mood, you still have to use the right equipment, technique, and lure presentations. I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s important to gear down your equipment. Crappies are generally smaller with smaller mouths, and the bite or strike is often a light tap and a light line in the 2–4-pound range is better. I’ve even gone to braided line, which has no stretch and telegraphs those light strikes much better. Also, fluorocarbon, which has little stretch, will make it easier to detect those light taps from crappies.
Sure, I’ve seen people catching crappies and other panfish with their heavier bass fishing gear, but I’m a firm believer that gearing down that equipment for panfish will greatly increase your catching rate.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been out crappie fishing on three different lakes in our general area, and I have had good success on each lake. Last week my wife and I were out working a cove on a lake that had a wood structure where the crappies were no doubt beginning to move into, but we actually did better in the slightly deeper water of 6-8 feet working our lures near the bottom.
There is no question that hooking a small, live minnow on several feet below
Ken Hunter
a bobber would be a very effective presentation, but I seldom ever use live minnows — they cost too much, and they are more trouble to transport and keep alive.
Artificial baits are my choice; they are easy to transport and store, are equally effective, and seldom need to be replaced.
Occasionally, I will utilize a slip bobber if I target a school of fish somewhere mid-depth or just off the bottom. The slip bobber can easily be set to the desired depth, and following cast, the slip bobber moves up to the preset depth on your line.
As for artificial lures, keep them small as well, one to two inches in a soft plastic or even yarns and feather combinations. I mostly use a one-eighth or one-sixteenth
jig and slide my plastic grub onto that.
A lot of colors seem to produce but some of our favorites are white, brown, and chartreuse, but there are times when yellow, orange, black, and other colors and combinations of colors have also produced. I generally use the brighter colors in off-colored water and the more natural colors in clearer water.
It’s very important to keep a tight line if you’re fishing without a bobber to detect strikes. Slack line laying on the water results in a lot of missed strikes.
Well, now that I’ve managed to get all the grass cut between rainfalls, maybe I can take some of my own advice and get back out onto a lake for some great crappie fishing.

Memorial Day has come and gone, and with it, it brought what most folks consider to be the first day of summer. Forget the meteorologists and calendar makers who have decreed that occurrence doesn’t happen until June 20; it’s Memorial Day that signals the beginning of summer fun!
Originally known as Decoration Day, the last Monday of May has been set aside to honor and mourn the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The first national observance occurred in 1868 to honor the Union soldiers who had died in the Civil War. Over the years, the remembrance grew to embrace all deceased U.S. military. In 1971, Congress standardized its name as “Memorial Day.”
Coming from four generations of a military family, our own observance included attendance at the various venues while also reflecting upon family members who have served and the loss of my father’s brother, who was killed during the World War II Battle of the Bulge.
Those who have proudly served are often reluctant to talk about battlefield experiences, and some who did not see combat shun the spotlight of recognition
when it is presented.
During a recent high school musical presentation, veterans who had served were asked to stand. A respective round of applause followed, and the show continued. Later, one of the cast members asked a patron why he did not stand with the rest of the veterans.
“That recognition should be reserved for those that saw combat duty. I didn’t,” came the response.
Indeed, those who have served form a unique bond that is hard to understand by those who have not. Veterans come from all walks of life made up of rich, poor, creeds, and occupations, including athletes of various sectors. Records show 535 baseball players have lost their lives in military service dating back to the Civil War.
Twelve of those individuals were Major League players, the most recent being the Washington Senators Elmer Gedeon, whose plane was shot down by the Germans during World War II in 1944. Since that time, Hall of Famers Bob Feller, Ted Williams, Stan Musial, and Warren Spahn were among many MLB’ers who served their country during combat times. An enlightening chronicle of baseball players serving is included in
the book No Greater Love, written by a California school teacher and military historian, Todd Anton.
I discovered Anton’s work while visiting the World War II Museum in New Orleans a decade ago. Jean found his book in the gift shop and gave it to me as a Father’s Day gift. Impressed by what I read, I contacted Anton to express my appreciation for his work. A friendship developed that included a visit to his California home and a subsequent most memorable trip to Normandy during the 75th commemoration of the WWII battle. In his book, Anton related his own father’s reluctance to talk about his experiences in WWII.
“After watching the 1998 movie Saving Private Ryan, I called Dad and told him I never felt the emotion of what he went through in the war until watching the movie. I just kept repeating that I was sorry for what he had to go through and said several times, “I just didn’t know.”
“The next day, Dad called and suggested that he, my brother Brent, and I see the movie together. I remember everything about it. As soon as the movie started, he draped an arm around each of our shoulders – they stayed there during the entire movie. He held us tight and would not let go; he wasn’t crying but was holding us very tightly.
“Driving Dad home, I started talking about the movie, and he began to cry. With tears trickling down his face and his voice quivering, Dad suddenly said,
“Son, do you want to know how the *#-^ it was? I pulled the car over, stopped, and listened.
“Dad was plagued by the same survivor’s guilt displayed by Private Ryan. He felt the weight of this burden to the day he died. He could not bring himself to watch that scene ever again. Watching it brought up those self-imposed inadequacies, those feelings that the life he had lived did not equal the price paid by those who had died.”
With both our fathers experiencing the horror of WWII and both being devoted baseball fans, the conversations Todd and I have shared have brought back father/son relationships of our dad’s war experiences not often talked about. But through it all, baseball was a topic constantly shared and cherished.
In a touching story, too detailed to fully describe here, baseball continued to be shared by Todd and his dad until the very end. As lifelong Dodger fans, his father’s ashes found a final resting place at his beloved Dodger Stadium.
War is hell, and Memorial Day is a deserved remembrance of the ultimate price paid by all too many so that this land can continue to be called “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
Memorial Day’s honorees can no longer hear words of thanks coming their way, but those veterans who have served certainly can – whether or not they served in a combat zone. Take the time to thank them when you have an opportunity.
Hats off to my friends at the Lycoming Creek Anglers. I give them lots of credit. These guys and gals make our fishing experiences much more splendid. Yes. We have battled some rain and high waters, but this spring has been fantastic. We are so spoiled. I finally snuck out for a few casts. I landed a handful of trout near Reeder’s Rapids. The bugs were starting to hatch. I replaced my Peeping Caddis with a Gray Adams. I love catching fish on a dry fly. There is nothing better. I gave my man Colby a shout. He was slaying them down below. I don’t know his last name, but I often see him. We both spend a lot of time on Lycoming.
ors. Beautiful trout. Many of the holdovers are stunning. A new feed has changed the game completely. This year’s crop is quite impressive. The fish I caught the other day were gorgeous and healthy.
“We are a very small group,” Walt continued. “A nonprofit organization. We are always looking for help and a few new members. I am extremely thankful to those who lend a hand. Raising and stocking trout is not an easy task. It takes time, money, and lots of commitments. We truly appreciate our club and thank the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat and our donors for their support.”
“We are having a great year,” Walt Winters explained. “Memberships are up. The club is raising some of the nicest rainbows I’ve ever seen. We started stocking towards the end of April. We then gather every Saturday through May. 4,000 or so trout have been released into Lycoming Creek. Rock Run, Pleasant Stream, and Roaring Branch received an additional 2,500 of our fish. The club also helped with several of the local state stockings. We are busy in the spring.”
I still can’t believe the quality and size of the fish my friends grow. Awesome col-
One of our biggest events is soon approaching. The annual Lycoming Creek Children’s Fishing Derby attracts hundreds of kids from all over the region. Jensen and I look forward to this special day. It is an all-day fishing extravaganza. Tons of wonderful prizes for every youngster. This year’s Derby is scheduled for Saturday, June 7th, at the Squarewood Acres Campgrounds located seven miles north of Trout Run on Route 14. Look for signs by the Marsh Hill Bridge, which is the same location as previous years. Boys and girls aged 3 to 13 are invited to attend. Again. Everyone is a winner. No experience is needed. Registration starts
at 8:30 a.m. for the 3-4-year-olds, 10:00 a.m. for the 5–6-year-olds, 11:30 a.m. for the 7 through 9s, and 1:00 p.m. for the 10-13-year-olds. Jensen graduated. Each group will fish for an hour after their registration. Food is available for purchase. Bait and tackle will be provided for a small donation.
“We are hoping for another great turnout,” Walt added. “The Fishing Derby is always a blast. We plan to stock 500 trout first thing that morning, then add another 400 around lunch. This is our way of giving back to our great community. This will be our 23rd year. Swing by for some great food, merchandise, and all-day fun with the kids. Seeing the faces and smiles of these youngsters is my absolute favorite.”
I agree. Bravo to the Lycoming Creek Anglers on a job well done. Hopefully, you can join us for the Derby this year. Cheers.
