If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say, “There’s nothing to do here!” I wouldn’t be writing this article. I would be independently wealthy and drinking something fruity out of a coconut on a beach somewhere.
But alas, here we are, and once again, I’m going to prove people wrong. I’ve said it before, and I will continue to say it until everyone understands — if you think there is nothing to do around here, you haven’t even tried to find something. Music, arts & crafts, church events, kids’ events, and yes, things going on at the local bars — there are a ton of fun things to do if you care to find them.
And since I’m of the generous sort, I’ve gone ahead and found the things to do for you! Lots of them! This article is going to be stupidly long because of ALL the things there are to do around here. And TBH, I didn’t even have to go much further than Facebook to find them.
Sidenote: I tried my best to keep this in date order. If anything isn’t — welp, I’m human and I’m sure you can still find your way. To prevent this from being the only article in the paper this week, I’ve narrowed the list down to things taking place between October 1st and October 31st-ish, along with some general stuff that runs through fall.
Hopefully, this will be enough to get you started on your fall adventures!

Be a Fan
Sports have always been an important part of my family.
I grew up playing, and even after I stopped, I stayed hooked — following teams and being a fan.
For me, I’m Philly through and through — I love me some Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers.
Shout out to my Aunt Jodi — she is the reason I became an Eagles fan, probably to get back at my dad for teasing her when she was younger. He’s a Steelers fan, but when I was a kid, she would send me Eagles gear in the mail. And honestly, what kid wouldn’t fall in love with that logo and the green and black?
Being a fan is important. It’s not just about watching games or events. It’s about connection, growth, and life lessons!
Connection: Sharing fandom with family is one of the greatest things there is. I love getting a call from my dad: “Did you see what Bryce
Harper did last night?” or “I can’t believe the Phillies!” Those conversations keep us together and give us a reason to call each other. I’ve also grown to root for Penn State football — my wife went there and is a huge fan, a passion passed down to her by her dad. Being able to share that fandom with them now makes it feel even more special. Shared fandom brings families closer together, or in my wife’s and my case, it has helped me feel more like part of her family.
Growth: At a stadium, a bar, or an event, even strangers become friends in the stands. You start conversations, share experiences, and suddenly, you’re part of something bigger than yourself. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or how much money you make — fans from all walks of life can connect over one thing: their team. I love being at the

airport with an Eagles hat on and someone saying, “GO BIRDS!” It’s remarkable how sports, music, or other passions can unite people across diverse backgrounds, ages, and experiences. It would be awesome if we could do this in other aspects of life.
Life Lessons: Being a fan teaches you a lot about life. You aren’t always going to win, and how you handle those losses matters. e sun is going to come up the next day, so wipe it o , move on, and be ready for the next challenge. And when you do win, don’t get too high either — because, you guessed it, the sun is coming up again, and a new task or challenge is waiting. Fandom teaches patience, resilience, and the importance of staying loyal through both victories and defeats.
Being a fan is about enjoying the sport, the experience, and the connection — Don’t make it about gambling. In today’s world, it’s easy
to get caught up in betting on every game, and it’s even easier to go down the rabbit hole. It can tear people apart and take the joy out of the game. You don’t need to risk money to be part of the excitement. Focus on the game, the team, and the memories — not the odds.
Don’t just be a fan of teams or players, be a fan of loved ones! Go to their events! It means the world to them just you being there. Shout out to my wife for attending my half-marathon and sitting there watching me run. at can’t be much fun, but she was there for me, and it means the world. I am her biggest fan, and if you ask me, she’s the best dentist in the world. Have a great week and go be a fan and support someone!

The “love handles” around your middle kind of bother you.
Heavy sigh. You’d like them gone but dental work is taking all your money for now. If you were honest, you’d have that balding spot xed, too - and don’t forget new knees, which you’ll need soon enough. As in the new book, “Replaceable You” by Mary Roach, are you falling apart or, like Humpty Dumpty, are you being put together again?
Poor old George Washington. Most of his portraits portray him as a grump but there’s a reason: George’s false teeth hurt his mouth something terrible; even keeping his lips together was di cult. No doubt, he’d be amazed at what dentists do with implants these days.
But teeth, of course, aren’t the only things we tinker with. Take, for instance, noses. Once was a time when losing a nose was big punishment or a frontand-center sign of diseases that no one wanted to catch. Su erers were shunned either way, so devices were

made to fashion a nose-ish nose but they looked a lot like Groucho glasses. Using the skin from animals was tried, but it wasn’t permanent enough.
Enter rhinoplasty, one of the first plastic surgeries.
Doctors weren’t done with animals, though. To fix or save lives, attempts were made using donor animals including sheep, dogs, frogs, and pigs, the latter of which may surprise you.
As it turns out; pig hearts can be transplanted to needful humans and their skin can help burn victims if self-donating isn’t an option. Pigs, in fact, can be genetically modified for tissue or organ donor use.
Ostomies can make a person’s life better, and the colon isn’t just for elimination. Amputation isn’t always unwanted, woodworkers and orthopedists have a lot in common, and one must be wary of sourcing hair transplants.
As for organ donating, says Roach, it’s tricky - so tricky, it’s a wonder that it works.
Swap it out.
Those are words you may hear at
least once a week. Tech doesn’t work? Swap it out. The delight inside “Replaceable You” is that swapping out is infinitely possible in everyday life, to help, to enhance, and to save.
The science in medicine can be complicated, but no problem: author Mary Roach teaches readers as she learns, which makes things easier to understand. Roach writes to readers, not at them, thus putting you in the action alongside her.
Her hands-on way of research also makes this makes science fun, too, as she volunteers for a few of the procedures she writes about, and she takes us along on trips around the world to view where work in various relevant scientific fields is done. This also takes some of the stigma out of procedures we don’t discuss much, and it makes the fear melt away, too.
Readers who grew up on The Six Million Dollar Man or The Bionic Woman, and those who’ve had a procedure or two done will enjoy “Replaceable You.” For sure, if you love science and want to learn something fun, you can handle it.

County Hall Corner Let’s Love Locally

n a world where partisan lines seem etched in concrete, the recent Lycoming County Commissioners meeting stood out as a beacon of hope. It proved that human compassion, as demonstrated by the commissioners, can still bridge any gap.
e commissioners gathered to address pressing community needs, with representatives from both the James V. Brown Library and the Lycoming County Library System presenting compelling cases for continued support. ese institutions, o en overlooked, serve as lifelines for countless residents, o ering resources that extend far beyond book lending into essential community services.
e library systems are not just about lending books. ey provide an astounding array of free resources that many fortunate residents never realize exist. From computer and internet access for job seekers to passport services, tax preparation assistance, meeting rooms for support groups and small business workshops, and safe a er-school environments for children, these institutions are lifelines for countless residents.
ese libraries also provide printing services, resume assistance, nancial literacy classes, and English language learning pro-
grams. Senior citizens receive technology training to stay connected with family members. Veterans access bene t information and application assistance. Homeless individuals nd temporary refuge and resources for permanent housing solutions.
e Central Pennsylvania Food Bank also addressed commissioners, highlighting the growing need for nutritional assistance throughout the region. Food insecurity affects families across economic lines, with working parents o en choosing between rent payments and groceries. e food bank serves as a crucial safety net, ensuring that children receive adequate nutrition for healthy development and learning, a fact that should concern us all. Budget constraints create challenging decisions for commissioners who recognize these organizations’ vital importance. e county awaits state budget updates, unable

to commit specific funding amounts while operating in financial uncertainty. This situation reflects broader governmental challenges where local officials face impossible choices between competing community needs.
Despite fiscal limitations, commissioners have demonstrated remarkable stewardship by eliminating wasteful spending while expanding community resources. Their approach proves that effective governance requires creativity and prioritization rather than unlimited funding. They have successfully trimmed bureaucratic excess while maintaining essential services that residents depend upon daily.
The meeting’s atmosphere was a refreshing departure from the usual political posturing. It was remarkably nonpartisan, with the focus entirely on community welfare. Commissioners discussed solutions collaboratively, recognizing that helping residents transcends party affiliations. This approach offers hope that local governance can remain focused on practical problem-solving rather than ideological battles. Their philosophy resonates deeply. Communities cannot wait for state or federal directives to begin helping neighbors. Individual actions create a collective impact that no government program can replicate. Every volunteer hour at the food bank, every library donation, every act of neighbor helping neighbor, strengthens the social fabric that makes communities resilient. The commissioners emphasized that reducing dependence on government assistance requires building stronger commu-
nity networks. When residents support local libraries and food banks, they create sustainable systems that outlast political cycles and budget fluctuations. This grassroots approach builds genuine security that cannot be legislated or funded into existence, but it can be achieved through our collective efforts.
Racial tensions, religious differences, and political disagreements dissolve when people focus on shared humanity and everyday needs. The simple act of ensuring a child has books to read or food to eat requires no complex negotiations or compromise. Love expressed through service creates returns that no Amazon purchase can match.
The currency of compassion appreciates rather than depreciates, multiplying through each generous act. When community members invest in each other’s welfare, they build wealth that transcends monetary measurement. This investment strategy guarantees returns in the form of stronger neighborhoods, safer streets, and more resilient families.
Lycoming County’s approach demonstrates that effective leadership means empowering citizens to care for each other while the government handles what individuals cannot accomplish alone. This balance creates sustainable communities where people thrive through mutual support rather than bureaucratic dependence.
New York Giants legend Eli Manning once said, “The most rewarding things in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.”

Happy Fall Y’all
Have you ever just been in bed at night and thought about the most random things? It’s 3 a.m. and you wake up thinking about getting a pot roast out of your freezer on Thursday, and it’s only Monday. Then that rolls into remembering you are down to five slices of bread, and you’ll have to go to the store before Friday. While you’re out, you should probably renew your license, so if you get pulled over, you don’t get busted. Ha! Then you think about all the thank you notes you still need to finish writing, worry about the person you forgot to text back yesterday, a load of wash that will need to get put in in the morning, a good comeback to an stupid small argument you had months ago that would of been perfect, and remember when you lost the four legged race in third grade to the pretty popular girl named Olivia Grace. How did we get from a pot roast to Olivia Grace? A lot of you are going, “Yup,” I know exactly what she’s talking about! You just think
Andrea McElroy
of the most random things that are totally unnecessary at 3 a.m. Well, this was me the other night. Not exactly all those things, but close. Just stupid random things. My mind wouldn’t stop. So, I started saying, over and over, “Jesus, you are love. Jesus, you are forgiving. Jesus, you are my strength. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.” I then began to think about my favorite months being here, and it made me so happy. I am made for the “ber” months. I will always and forever be a “ber” month girl. These next four months make me so happy. It’s cozy season, y’all!
I then began to thank Jesus for this time of year and the happiness it brings me. I thought about how beautiful the leaves are, and how they make me feel when I watch them fall from the sky. It means the trees will soon look bare, and all these beautiful leaves will dry up and die. But not to worry, the trees will bloom again come spring. Then that made me think of Jesus. Wow, Jesus, you are like a fall tree! You were
a bright person who once walked the earth, making the blind see, raising the lame to walk, and bringing people back from the dead. You then had to endure this horrible death on the cross to save all of us sinners from eternal death. (Gives me goosebumps every time.) But you rose again, giving us all hope and faith for centuries to come. A reason to have strength in whatever we are going through. Jesus is this big, beautiful tree with his branches out, just waiting for you to take hold of the tree of life with the strongest roots. His tree can guide you through all the seasons of life, and one day, when we leave this world and have Jesus in our hearts, we will have an unbelievable place in heaven with Him.
So, when you look at a gorgeous big tree in all its fall beauty this season, remember what Jesus did for you. Know his branches reach out to all of us, no matter what. Happy Fall, everyone!

John Bailey, M.D. UPMC Orthopaedic Care
Fminimally invasive techniques, and implants designed to last longer. While these innovations are impressive, what matters most to patients is not what happens in the operating room. It is what happens after.
or many people, chronic joint pain is more than uncomfortable. It changes daily life. Walking the dog, climbing stairs, or playing with grandchildren can go from enjoyable moments to daunting tasks. Over time, the things that bring us joy may slowly disappear from our routines.
When joint pain reaches the point where it limits independence and quality of life, joint replacement surgery can offer a way forward.
Beyond
Pain Relief
Joint replacements, most commonly in the hip or knee, are among the most successful surgical procedures performed today. Modern advances include robot-assisted precision,
People who undergo joint replacement often describe the experience as life-changing. They talk about being able to walk their grandchild to school, return to their morning jogs, or simply move through their day without constant discomfort. Relief from pain is important, but the real victory is reclaiming the activities and independence that define daily living.
Signs
It May Be Time
Joint replacement is not the first step in treatment, but it can be the right one when other options no longer provide relief. You may UPMC
want to ask your provider about it if:
– Pain keeps you from doing activities you enjoy.
– Discomfort interrupts your sleep.
– You are relying more heavily on pain medication.
– You have had to give up hobbies, sports, or social events because of limited mobility.
Recovery Opens Doors
Recovery and rehabilitation are key to long-term success. With a personalized physical therapy plan, most patients regain strength, flexibility, and confidence in their new joint within weeks to months. Many are surprised by how quickly they are back to activities they once thought were gone forever.
Living Well While You Wait
If you and your provider are still exploring timing, there are ways to protect your joints and stay strong:
– Maintain a healthy weight to
reduce stress on hips and knees.
– Engage in low-impact activities such as swimming, yoga, or cycling.
– Focus on leg and core strength to support balance and stability.
Looking Ahead
Joint replacement surgery is more than a medical procedure. It is an opportunity to take back your life. Whether it is returning to the garden, enjoying a round of golf, or simply walking around the block without pain, the true success of joint replacement is measured in moments of movement regained.
John Bailey, M.D., is with UPMC Orthopaedic Care and sees patients at UPMC Williamsport Divine Providence Campus, 1705 Warren Ave., Williamsport, and UPMC Outpatient Center, 1 Outlet Ln., Lock Haven. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Bailey at either location, call 570321-2020. For more information, visit UPMC.com/OrthoNCPA.

Support Immune Health with Four Everyday Habits
The coughing and sneezing you hear at home, in the o ce and at the gym means one thing: It’s cold and u season. Although it’s impossible to guarantee you won’t get sick, adopting a few healthy habits can go a long way toward avoiding the sni es and sneezes.
Start by talking with your health care provider about any concerns you may have then follow these lifestyle recommendations for natural immune system support.
Wash Your Hands: While it’s probably the rst rule you learn about getting sick as a child, washing your hands remains a critical rst line of defense. Use warm, soapy water and rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds. Don’t forget the backs of your hands, wrists and under your ngernails. Rinse o the soap then dry with a clean towel.
Commit to Healthier Eating: Foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are recommended by experts as essential foods for optimizing your immune system. Consider fresh grapes, a prime example of food that contains bene cial plant compounds linked to health bene ts in humans.
Healthy cells are the foundation of good health, and the antioxidants and other
polyphenols naturally found in grapes help protect the health and function of cells. e good news is that improving your diet doesn’t require a complete overhaul - small steps such as swapping in fresh California grapes for processed snacks or simply adding a handful of fresh grapes to your day will add these benecial compounds to your daily routine. Or, you can add grapes to recipes like this Lemony California Grape and Beet Salad, a vibrant and fresh melody of color and avor. Roasted red and yellow beets meet sweet and juicy grapes, peppery arugula and pumpkin seeds all brought together with a zesty lemon vinaigrette. Studies suggest some grape compounds
may positively in uence immune function, including resveratrol and certain avonoids. Additional studies show adding heart-healthy grapes to your daily diet can help support brain, colon and skin health. Grapes are also a good source of vitamin K, which may help support lung health.
Avoid Others Who are Sick: Along with washing your hands frequently, steering clear of people who are ill may sound like a no-brainer, but sometimes it’s easier said than done. When loved ones, close friends or coworkers come down with a cold or u, do your best to keep your distance and avoid touching items with which they came into contact. A er bedtime routines with a sick child or a ernoon meetings with an under-the-weather associate, thoroughly wash your hands and clean commonly used surfaces like doorknobs or conference room keyboards.
Prioritize Hydration: Even during cooler weather, staying hydrated remains important for immune health by keeping the body’s defenses functioning properly. Drink water throughout the day, and for an extra dose, increase hydration by eating foods with high water content like grapes, which contain about 82% water. Find more health and nutrition information at GrapesFromCalifornia.com.

The Way He Was: Remembering Robert Redford
Set near the end of World War II, it concerns two U.S. flyers kept hidden in a German basement after bailing out over enemy territory; their kooky captor winds up holding them long after the war has ended — by not revealing that American troops are peopling the village and the country.
Joseph W. Smith III
That oddball German is played by Alec Guinness — with Mike Connors (TV’s Mannix) as one of the airmen; and the film is based on a novel by Robert Shaw — yes, that Robert Shaw: the one who played Quint in the smash-hit Jaws.
The other flyer, as it happens, was an early role for Robert Redford, who passed away Sept. 16 at the age of 89.
This is just my way of indicating that Redford — one of the most beloved actors of his generation and (along with Tony Curtis) perhaps the handsomest ever to grace the silver screen — did a number of nifty lesser-known films.
Needless to say, countless tributes have already highlighted such hits as The Way
We Were, The Sting, All the President’s Men and of course, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
My own favorite Redford was 1975’s compelling and well-acted thriller Three Days of the Condor; it was No. 6 at the box office during that boffo year — which also gave us Jaws and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
In any case, instead of the usual career encomium, I thought I’d focus on some under-the-radar Redfords — of which Situation is decidedly one.
Here are three others:
The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) – From the same team that gave us Butch and Sundance — director George Roy Hill and writer William Goldman — comes this engaging tale of a reckless barnstorming pilot in the 1920s. Redford is joined by a strong supporting cast: Margot Kidder, Susan Sarandon, Bo Svenson, Edward Herrmann and Geoffrey Lewis; the latter, a consummate character actor who also happens to be Juliette Lewis’ dad, is particularly strong here. But what stands out are the gripping aerial sequences — so authentic that Waldo nailed a “four-star rating” from
film and aviation historians Jack Hardwick and Ed Schnepf (so says Wikipedia).
Hill is a fascinating figure who worked with Redford three times — and who seems to have mastered an endless variety of genres: comic Western (Butch); biplane drama (Waldo); spy thriller with a female lead (Little Drummer Girl); hockey comedy (Slap Shot); con movie (The Sting); young geniuses in love (A Little Romance); and historical epic (Hawaii). Hill even managed a decent version of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, a seemingly un-filmable blend of satire, sci-fi, war drama and time travel.
Goldman, meanwhile, has a similarly impressive resume: three terrific novels which he adapted for the screen (Magic, Marathon Man and The Princess Bride) — along with All the President’s Men, plus the chilling screen version of Stephen King’s Misery, which won Kathy Bates a Best Actress Oscar.
All Is Lost (2013) – Redford is entirely alone on screen in this late-career triumph — the story of a single sailor fighting to stay afloat after his craft is struck by a shipping container. With almost no dialog and a mere 32-page shooting script, All Is Lost nonetheless keeps a firm grip on one’s attention; I was not wild about the ending — but more than 30 national critics put the
film on their 10-best list that year. For his stellar work here, the New York Film Critics Circle named Redford Best Actor of 2013.
The Old Man & the Gun (2018) – I thought I should include this even though I haven’t seen it yet — because it was Redford’s swan song. (A couple of his other titles came out after this one, but they’d been filmed earlier.)
Old Man is based on the true story of Forrest Tucker, a career criminal who claims to have made more than 30 jailbreaks — succeeding in over half those escapes. Like Waldo Pepper, it has a strong supporting cast — in this case Casey Affleck, Sissy Spacek, Tom Waits, Keith Carradine, Danny Glover, Elizabeth Moss and John David Washington. The film was well received by critics — 93 at Rotten Tomatoes — with Redford singled out for his work in the lead.
He also served as co-producer on Old Man — as he did so often in his career, likewise working as director on such projects as A River Runs Through It, The Horse Whisperer and of course, Ordinary People, which won him the Academy Award for Best Director.
Though Redford never won a competitive acting Oscar — having been nominated only once, for The Sting — he did receive an Honorary Award from the Academy in 2001. So long, Kid.

Fueling a Creative Mindset Small moments leave a lasting impact
Perhaps unsurprisingly, many people believe they aren’t creative. ey say, “I can’t draw,” or “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.” However, creativity isn’t about perfecting an art technique or spending time in formal training. It’s about expression, curiosity and the courage to explore. It’s about seeing the world not just as it is, but as it could be. In fact, the biggest barrier to creativity isn’t lack of talent, it’s the reluctancy to claim it as your own.
To that end, Crayola wants to broaden traditional views about what creativity is and how it shows up in the world. Creative superpowers shine when you solve problems, tell stories, build things and connect ideas. In other words, creativity isn’t just for artists.
It’s about engaging in simple, everyday creative moments that help unlock a mindset useful for navigating personal and professional demands, as well as managing life’s unexpected challenges.
In an e ort to rede ne what it means to be creative, Crayola’s Campaign for Creativity is challenging narrow de nitions and highlighting the bene ts of this critical skill that fuels lifelong growth. By shi ing the focus from perfection to possibilities, the campaign empowers everyone, regardless of age or ability, to put imagination into action. is opens the door to new ways of expressing creativity, and one of the most powerful and accessible forms of expression is color.
According to a Color Perception Survey
conducted by Crayola in partnership with the Ad Council Research Institute, color isn’t just decoration - it can be a catalyst to spark emotion, fuel imagination and deepen creative expression. In fact, 87% of those surveyed say color impacts their creativity and 69% link speci c colors to moods and emotions. is evidence supports that color is deeply personal, connecting people to their emotions and memories, and helping creatively express their feelings, thoughts and ideas.
To help tap into your own creative superpowers, consider these colorful ideas to get started.
Use Color
Multiple bodies of research a rm the interconnected relationships between color, sound and creativity. Speci c colors and sounds can stimulate creativity, and their interaction can enhance creative processes. While the speci c impact of color varies for everyone, it’s clear color can a ect moods or re ect inner feelings.
For example, you might associate blue with a sense of calm while others with sadness; red can evoke feelings of energy and celebration or fear. Incorporating colorful elements into your creations - from fashion and decor to workplace presentations and weekend projects - can bring your ideas to life, showcase your unique perspective, amplify your message and inspire connections with others.
Creating by Hand
Whether through journaling, scrapbooking or coloring, creating by hand o ers an
immersive and meaningful experience. Research shows these activities can engage multiple areas of the brain, supporting memory, understanding and creativity. Coloring, in particular, is a timeless act of self-expression - from childhood scribbles to adult stress relief - that invites you to slow down, reflect and connect with your emotions.
Try a New Recipe
There’s no more practical outlet for creativity than in the kitchen where you can concoct new dishes that nourish your body and mind. Whether your goal is to put a novel flair on a familiar dish or stir some variety into your family’s routine menu, experimenting in the kitchen is a terrific way to infuse creativity and a splash of color into your cooking.
Get Outside
Spending time in nature isn’t just good for
your body and mind; it’s a powerful way to recharge your creativity. Natural environments are full of expressive color palettes, from the deep greens of forest canopies to the vibrant hues of wildflowers and sunsets. Research shows being outdoors can sharpen focus, reduce stress and even improve sleep. Beyond the science, nature invites you to observe, imagine and create. Try sketching a sunset, capturing the textures of leaves or using found objects to spark a new idea. Whether you’re walking through a park or sitting in your backyard, the colors and sounds of the outdoors can fuel your next creative moment.

arenting has always been a tall task, but an assortment of new challenges have emerged as the world has shi ed during the digital age. No child is immune to bullying, and modern parents can probably point to at least one instance when they were bullied during childhood. But that bullying may bear little resemblance to cyberbullying, a relatively recent phenomenon that can be extraordinarily harmful to kids.
e Cyberbullying Research Center notes a scarcity of studies exploring cyberbullying, which can make it harder to determine how prevalent it is in the lives of modern students. However, the National Crime Victimization Survey reported in 2022 that more than one in ve students who were bullied reported being bullied “online or by text.” Parents know it can be hard to track youngsters’ lives online, as they must walk a ne line between respecting chil-
dren’s privacy and doing what’s necessary to keep them safe and happy. Various children’s advocacy groups note that kids are unlikely to tell their parents that they’re being bullied out of fear that doing so will make the situation worse for them. Others may be reluctant to share they’re being victimized by cyberbullying because they fear they will lose access to their devices. at makes it imperative that parents remain alert and learn to spot warning signs of cyberbullying.
Being upset during or a er using devices: Devices play a big part in the lives of adults and children alike, so parents can keep an eye open whenever their children use a smartphone, tablet or another device that connects to the internet. Cyberbullying may cause children to grow upset while using their devices or a er using them.
Inexplicable changes in personality: A 2024 report from the Cy-
berbullying Research Center notes that many targets of cyberbullying report feeling depressed, sad, angry, and frustrated. e same report notes researchers have linked cyberbullying with low self-esteem, anxiety, school violence, and suicidal thoughts, among other outcomes. Students who exhibit sudden changes in their personality, including issues with anxiety and becoming withdrawn, may be targets of cyberbullying.
Unanticipated changes in friendship groups: Sudden changes in friendship groups is another potential warning sign that a child is being cyberbullied. is sudden shi could be sparked by the child’s own friends being the perpetrators of cyberbullying, which can occur a er a dispute. e Cyberbullying Research Center report noted that cyberbullying aggressors don’t have to see their targets’ immediate responses to the bullying, which is perhaps one reason why it can be easier for a child to bully someone who was once his or her close friend.
A dip in academic performance: Cyberbullying can a ect kids in every aspect of their lives, including their performance in the classroom. A nationwide study of tween cyberbullying conducted in 2020 found that 6.5 percent of tweens who were cyberbullied indicated the bullying in uenced their schoolwork.
A decline in physical health, changes in sleep patterns, avoidance of social settings like extracurricular activities, and behaviors that suggest children are lonely are additional warning signs that kids are being cyberbullied. Parents are urged to take any of the signs noted here seriously. More information about cyberbullying can be found at cyberbullying.org

Strategies to Protect Your Personal Information Online
It used to be that criminals who wanted to access a person’s sensitive information could only do so by breaking into their home. That all changed during the digital age, when it became possible for tech-savvy criminals to access internet users’ personal information in a matter of seconds, and do so from nearly any corner of the globe.
The Identity Theft Resource Center reported there were more than 3,200 publicly reported data compromises that affected more than 350 million individuals in 2023.
The 3,200 compromises indicated an increase of more than 1,400 such incidents over the year prior, which underscores the growing frequency of such actions and the need for individual users to do everything possible to safeguard their information.
In recognition of the threat posed
by online hackers and scammers, the Federal Trade Commission offers the following tips consumers can follow to safeguard their personal information.
Update your software. The FTC notes that software updates contain critical fixes and protections against security threats, making this step an absolute necessity. Whether you’re using a desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone, or another connected device, be sure to turn on automatic updates so security software is updated the moment it’s possible to do so. Updated internet browsers and mobile apps are not bulletproof, but they’re far less vulnerable than older versions.
Secure your home wi-fi network. Make sure your home wi-fi network is password protected. Without such protection, anyone with a nearby internet connection can monitor your online activity,
including anything you do related to online banking and bill-paying. Periodically change the password to your wi- network as an added security measure. A new router with the latest built-in security features also can be a smart move if it’s been awhile since you purchased your existing router.
Utilize two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication can seem like a nuisance, but it’s much safer than simply using a password. Two-factor authentication sends a unique code via text message or email to users a er they enter their login information when trying access bank accounts, utilities and other personal accounts. e FTC notes that a hacker who steals a password cannot log into an account with two-factor authentication unless he also has gained access to your email or smartphone, making this a step worth taking.
Wisely choose security questions. Some banks, nancial insti-
tutions and service providers ask users to answer a handful of security questions as an added measure of security. Avoid choosing questions that hackers can easily answer for you, such as what was your high school mascot, who is your favorite sports team or even your place of birth. Such information o en can be easily gleaned from social media accounts or other places where your personal information may be shared. ere’s no way to fully safeguard yourself from online criminals in the digital age. But a few simple strategies can make it much more di cult for hackers to gain access to your personal information online.
Outfits, Not Just Clothes…
Fall Outfit Ideas
Hands down, fall is my favorite season for fashion.
As the leaves are turning, you can find me scrolling through outfit guides and curated shopping lists from fashion editors for inspiration. This inspiration usually takes the form of creating outfit formulas for chic, more formal looks, as well as casual wear for outdoor fall activities. Here are a few outfitting ideas I may be trying out this season, some from pieces already hanging in my closet, and a few I’m adding to my shopping list.
Bernadette Ulsamer
First, as we’re still in the transitional season between summer and fall, layers are key, as is getting a bit more wear out your summer favorites. Try a warm-weather lace-trimmed top underneath a sweater and pleated midi skirt. Wear with flats while it’s still on the hot side, draping the sweater over your shoulders as the day goes from chilly to warm. Oriana’s The Lace Trim Cami in beige or tobacco is hemmed with scalloped lace, which will perfectly peek out from a fitted high-necked gray sweater and break up a mono-
chromatic look of matching sweater and skirt. You could also pair this with a drapey cardigan and a printed maxi skirt, but I really like the visual of the lace poking out below a pullover sweater.
If you’re not so much into camisoles or tanks, then you can utilize this trimming trend in the form of a lace-hemmed skirt, which can be quite elegant. Wear a skirt like Ann Taylor’s Satin Lace Hem Wrap skirt with a relaxed sweater, barn jacket, and pointy suede pumps. As things eventually start to get chilly, layer your lacey skirt over tights and boots and swap the barn jacket for a more streamlined coat.
As for coats, once the weather turns crisper, consider a funnel-neck jacket as this year’s fall staple. Wear it with sleek trousers, jeans, skirts, and over knit dresses. It goes with just about any outfit combo. Quince’s Italian Wool Cocoon Coat will see you right into winter and comes in a variety of colors like charcoal, caramel, and a heathered buttercream. It hits right around the knee for full coverage and a luxurious feel. This coat can be the

star of any look, especially when styled with the brand’s Stretch Crepe Pleated Wide Leg pants and a driving loafer. Or throw this over a sweatshirt and a pair of joggers with a brightly color-blocked or patterned sneaker for a kookier take on a fall outfit.
Another topper to consider for fall looks is a sleek suede jacket. You can’t deny the chicness of tossing it over a simple dress or a skirt-and-sweater combo. For an elegant silhouette, check out Banana Republic Factory’s Vegan Suede Long Wrap Coat in either brown or stone. This comes with a fabric belt and a self-tie closure, and begs to be worn with a wide-leg jean, but-
ton-up shirt, and boots. Or add your own leather buckle belt for a more polished cinch. On the other side of suede is a boxier cropped version, like Chico’s Suede Cropped Jacket in burnt sienna. Lean into the cut of this look and swap out a wide-leg jean for a narrow or cropped-leg denim bottom. This would also be a great item to thrift or borrow from that special-mister-in-your-life’s closet, especially for weekend wear.
Another great item for the weekend is a rugby shirt, particularly when paired with loose-fitting jeans, sneakers, and a ball cap. Target has a really cute Champion Women’s Long Sleeve Rugby Shirt in teal/blue stripes, as well as pink. Amp

up the cuteness and wear under denim overalls for outdoorsy days. I prefer the traditional fall staple of a flannel shirt for my weekend fall activities, which may seem obvious: wearing flannel with jeans and hiking boots. But I also like an unbuttoned flannel, styled with a plain tee and a relaxed pant. Uniglo’s Flannel Boxy Cropped Shirt has a lovely low-key autumnal feel, but again, I prefer secondhand flannels, specifically those in the men’s department.
For weekday work outfits, you can’t go wrong with a pair of pleated trousers. Look to the stretch crepe pleated wide-leg pants mentioned above from Quince. The redwood brown pair feels
quintessential for this time of year. For the office pair it with a turtleneck and Oxford flats topped off with a ‘90s-esque blazer that you (or your mother) may already have in your closet. Another potential thrift find as well. Again, you probably already have a version of most of these items to ground your fall outfit formulas. Hopefully, this will give you some outfitting ideas to play around with in your existing wardrobe or a potential source for your next shopping trip. Whether you’re buying new, secondhand, borrowing, or already own, the key to fall outfits is simple silhouettes with texture and rich colors.

What is Alpha-gal Syndrome?
Food allergies have become more common across the globe over the last several decades. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates 3.9 percent of children and 1.1 percent of adults had food allergies in 1997-98. Those percentages more than doubled to 8 percent of children and more than 2 percent of adults by 2019-2020. Awareness of food allergies has grown in recent decades, but some may just now be popping on individuals’ radars. Alpha-gal syndrome is one such allergy that’s only recently gaining wider attention among the general public.
What is Alpha-gal syndrome?
Food allergies and insect bites might seem like strange bedfellows, but that unique connection is precisely how Alpha-gal syndrome begins. According to the Mayo Clinic, Alpha-gal syndrome is a food allergy that usually traces its origins to the bite of a Lone Star tick. That bite transfers a sugar molecule known as alpha-gal into the body, triggering an immune system response.
What are people with Alpha-gal syn-
drome allergic to?
People know ticks are not food for human beings, so it can seem curious that a tick bite contributes to a food allergy. But the link lies within the sugar molecule from which the syndrome gets its name. According to Alphagalinformation.org, a website devoted to raising awareness about the condition, the sugar molecule alpha-gal is found in all mammals except for humans and some primates. So products made from mammals, including beef, pork and lamb, are among the foods someone with Alpha-gal syndrome may be allergic to. Dair y, gelatin and additional products derived from mammals also may trigger an allergic response in people with Alpha-gal syndrome.
How long before an Alpha-gal allergic reaction begins?
The Mayo Clinic notes that most reactions to food allergens begin within minutes of consuming or being exposed to the food that triggers the reaction. For example, someone with a peanut allergy may begin to feel side effects almost immediately. Alpha-gal allergic reactions take longer to develop. The Mayo Clinic
What happens during an Alpha-gal allergic reaction?
e symptoms that appear during an Alpha-gal allergic reaction are similar to those associated with other food allergies. Such symptoms include:
• e development of hives, itching or itchy, scaly skin
• Swelling that a ects the lips, face, tongue, and throat. e Mayo Clinic notes swelling related to Alpha-gal syndrome also may a ect other body parts.
• Wheezing or shortness of breath
• Stomach pain, upset stomach, diarrhea, or vomiting
Alpha-gal syndrome may not be as widely recognized as other food allergies, but it poses a signi cant threat nonetheless. More information about the condition can be found at alphagalinformation.org.

How often have you heard someone say that they just don’t like the taste of venison, or that they have tried it once, but just didn’t care for it? No doubt it was not cooked properly, or worse yet, was not handled properly from the beginning. Over the years, I am pleased to say that numerous times I have enjoyed converting some of these folks who “just don’t like the taste of venison” into someone who looks forward to their next tasty meal of this nutritious wild meat. Let’s look at how the whole process should be handled from beginning to end.
FIRST: Believe it or not, it all begins with the shot. Firing your weapon, be it archery equipment or a firearm, prior to entering the field to ensure it is still shooting straight, will ensure an accurate shot. Follow that with only making a responsible shot that enables a quick and clean kill, which will prevent the chance of merely
wounding an animal, having it suffer, and pumping adrenaline through its system as it attempts to escape. It is a fact that an animal that is wounded and manages to run off some distance will often pump adrenaline through its system; as a result, the meat will not taste as good as the meat from an animal that expires quickly.
(After the shot, make sure you properly complete the appropriate tag and attach it to the animal before moving it. You must do this, even if you are merely moving it a short distance to a spot where it will be easier to field dress.)
AND THEN: Proper field care is essential in preserving the meat and preventing the occurrence of disease-causing bacteria. Beginning the process as quickly as possible will ensure a more rapid loss of body heat, preventing the growth of surface bacteria, and will improve the overall quality of the meat. If you are hunting alone, carry several feet of rope or nylon cord to tie the legs and spread
them apart for easier access to the carcass. Make a cut from the base of the breastbone to the anus. Do so by pulling up on the hide and underlying muscle tissue so as to not puncture the stomach or intestines. You might insert two ngers, one on each side of the knife blade, to enable the process. en remove the entrails. Cut through the diaphragm to remove the heart, lungs, and windpipe. If you choose to save the heart and liver, place them in a resealable plastic bag for clean transport. Once all entrails have been removed and the anus is removed or tied o , drain any remaining blood from the body cavity and wipe clean with a clean cloth or paper towels. Do not attempt to rinse the deer in a nearby stream or pond, as the excess water will encourage bacterial growth. Prop the body cavity open with a clean stick to aid in cooling and drying the body.
It is very important to dissipate the heat from the deer’s body as soon as possible. If the air temperature is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, you can chill it by inserting resealable bags of ice or snow, then tying them securely with a string. Tying the body
cavity shut will also limit dirt and contamination during transportation.
FINALLY: Upon arriving at a place where you can hang the deer, skinning is the next important step that will allow the body to cool even more rapidly. Initially, cut the skin around the hocks and down the inside of the legs; therea er, begin to work the hide o by pulling on the skin or pushing it down with your st. Use the knife as little as possible, pulling and sting the hide whenever you can.
Carcasses can be hung and chilled outside if the temperature will remain below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Leaving the hide on the carcass can have its advantages. It can act as an insulator from extremely cold temperatures, prevent drying and shrinkage of the meat, and provide aging of the meat at below 32-38 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 days.
A truly tasty meal of venison is not just about how you select the cuts that you want during the butchering process, or the way you cook a particular cut, but the entire process really begins before and during the hunt.

Howard Wilt - a 95 year old Marine Korean war vet who was present for our tournament and assisted with our benefit.
Like a lot of other folks these days, I too will be looking forward to placing the crosshairs of my rifle scope on a nice big buck. But, to be honest, I enjoy seeing all kinds of wildlife throughout the entire year.
For the past 40-plus years, my life and my work have revolved around wildlife. As a wildlife artist and illustrator for outdoor magazines, observing wildlife in natural settings is an important part of producing that final painting or illustration.
the Quiet Oaks Campgrounds just a few miles up the mountain from Cross Fork. This is the more northern portion of Kettle Creek, and it’s prime elk territory.
I was teaching elk drawing classes at the campgrounds, but there was also a photography session, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission was present.
It’s very common to spot elk in this area.
Even though it may not be part of making a living, observing our wild creatures is still something that almost everybody enjoys; that is, if it’s not a deer bolting in front of our car as we’re going down the road at 60 mph.
A couple of weekends ago, a number of other folks and I went a bit out of the way to observe wildlife — more specifically, Pennsylvania’s wild elk.
A good number of people gathered at
As my wife and I were leaving the campgrounds late Saturday afternoon, we spotted a nice bull elk just off the road.
This area, along with the Winslow Hill Elk Viewing Area near Benezette, is a great place to see and photograph elk. Even if you don’t have expensive camera gear and large lenses, you can still get some pretty good photos even with today’s smartphones.
Also, since the elk have become accustomed to so many people being around, they are less likely to be
BUCK CONTEST

A word of caution, however, elk can be very aggressive this time of year, especially bulls, so don’t push your luck trying to get too close.
While driving around or hiking in the right places can lead to some interesting wildlife observations, I have also found another scenario that has led to some very interesting and unexpected wildlife observations. I’m referring to cameras — specifically, trail cameras and the security cameras located around our homes. You might be surprised by what shows up around your home, especially if you live out in the country.
Let’s be honest, one of the most exciting wildlife observations is a black bear. A few weeks ago, a customer was looking out my art gallery window in the middle of the afternoon when she yelled that a bear was running through my front yard. Interesting, but in reality, we see more bears and a whole lot of other more secretive wildlife on our cameras at night or in locations in the woods that have little human disturbance going on most of the time.
I recently took a count of what and
how many different animals were showing up on the cameras we have located in a couple of wooded locations. Over about a two-week period, we saw deer every day or almost ever y day, and the other common critters like squirrels, porcupines, raccoons, and turkeys also showed up two or three times during that period.
The more intriguing observations, however, were a couple of bears one afternoon, followed by a coyote a couple of days later.
A couple of days after the coyote sighting, a large bobcat walked by the same spot, and later a fox.
One of the most interesting sightings, however, was a fisher walking by at around 9 a.m. and then walking back the other way a half hour later. These are wildlife observations that you would probably not normally see because some were at night, and because they were caught on camera, and where there was no human disturbance.
Whether I see it firsthand or while reviewing what my cameras were able to pick up, it’s always interesting to see what’s roaming around.

Speicher & Sawyer Share Emmy
For the past fourteen years, hours before the drama and excitement of the International and United States championship games unfold inside Lamade Stadium, a hundred yards to the north, Volunteer Stadium is alive with the emotional and inspirational Little League Challenger game. Some have called it the best game at the Series.
During the two weeks of the annual Little League World Series, ESPN cameras have become commonplace, spreading the Little League story around the globe. But on this special occasion, it is the WVIA cameras that bring its viewers heart-warming action on the field.
Fittingly, in ceremonies last month, WVIA was presented a Mid-Atlantic Emmy Award for its team coverage of the 2024 Challenger Game. Among those winning the golden Emmy were local broadcasters Tom Speicher and Ken Sawyer.
“WVIA began broadcasting the Little League Challenger game in 2012, and I’m proud to have been a part of that team,” Speicher stated. “For the first several years, I served as the sideline reporter. When Gary Chrisman stepped aside three years ago, I moved into the color
Scott Lowery
commentator role and partnered with Ken Sawyer.
“It is a wonderful honor to win this. Growing up, I was always a TV junkie and always joked about winning an Emmy. Ironically, Chef Paul and I were nominated twice for the old Penn College series ‘You’re the Chef’ twenty years ago, but we didn’t win. So, it’s been more than twenty years between these nominations, but it is a great honor.
“The excitement of the kids participating means so much; it just lifts you up. The planning leading up to this goes on for months prior, and when they get here, the excitement is like every holiday ten times over for both the kids and their parents.
“It is a wonderful program to present, and the program brings a lot of joy to our viewers because it is such a special event, and it brings a lot of joy to us. Ken and I have a blast doing it, and I hope that comes across in the broadcast.”
Speicher and Sawyer, both longtime veterans of Little League World Series radio broadcasts, share a unique meaning to their work with the Challenger game.
“I got involved three years ago when Gary left, and each year has been a special day for me,” Sawyer added. “Seeing the facial reactions from players, coaches, buddies,
and family brings pure joy to them. It’s their moment in the limelight. This game brings us to the joy that baseball has meant to so many.
“I’m honored to be a small part of the team’s day. WVIA does a spectacular job putting the game on the air and focusing on the players. Smiles replace runs because everyone wins.
“The Emmy means our peers think we’re doing an excellent job of capturing these moments in special people’s lives. I thank everyone involved for allowing me to add a smile to people’s lives.”
Speicher, whose day job is a writer/video producer at Penn College, also works the World Series as iHeart Media’s Man in the Crowd.
“Just meeting so many people from all over the world. It is also nice to see the same volunteers who return year after year. Those brief on-air interviews I get to do forge a relationship that are special moments. This year, on the Hawaiian side, I interviewed one family that was enjoying their third trip to the Series. Each one of their sons were on teams that got to play here. The mother remembered me and brought me Hawaiian candy, as she knew I liked that from previous years.
“The World Series has been a highlight and something I enjoy doing with our iHeart broadcasting team. But my job at Penn College has provided rewarding opportunities to gain recognition for students and alumni who deserve acknowledgment for the things they have achieved. I’ve even accompanied our Penn
College Culinary student to the Kentucky Derby, and I’ll be going back again next spring.”
Among his varied media assignments, Speicher spent several seasons covering the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings.
“In the early 2000s, I was fortunate enough to win a competition sponsored by the Minneapolis Star Tribune looking for a Viking weekly columnist. The column was received well. The following year, they asked me to do a column on Vikings player alumni features.
“The years I spent with the Vikings gave me tremendous access to things that are one-of-a-kind experiences. I got to spend time at NFL Films, go behind the scenes at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, spend time at Vikings training camp, be in the locker room, and go to NFL games. So I’ve been blessed.
While both Speicher and Sawyer look forward to next year’s WVIA telecast, Speicher has just released his third children’s book.
“I’ve written a series of Children’s books that have been very important to me. My third Waffles book, Waffles Goes to the Beach, just came out. The feedback I’ve been receiving has been encouraging. I heard from a lady who told me her grandchild has the book memorized. The grandparent reads the child the book every night, and when the grandparent tries to paraphrase something, the child corrects her!
While Hershey has M&Ms, WVIA’s S&S team is also award-winning!

There’s not much le to do at the Ryder Cup. Enough with the talk and prep. It’s time to tee it up. Matches will get underway in just a few hours. Golf fans and I will be glued to the television the entire weekend. It is the ultimate team competition.

e United States versus the Europeans. I am excited to see what will happen at Bethpage, a magnificent and massive public facility in Long Island, NY.
is is the 45th playing of the Ryder Cup. Two sessions on Friday and Saturday. 12 individual matches this Sunday. US Captain Keegan Bradley is armed and ready. e same goes for Luke Donald and the Europeans.
e rosters are deep, with lots of talent. Each person brings something special. e press conferences are great. ese guys are all itching for the opportunity. Lots of experience and several newbies. is is unlike any other tournament.
e host team usually wins. e home crowds play a major factor. But the foreign squad will de nitely turn some heads this weekend. e US will need Scotty Sche er, Justin omas, Bryson DeChambeau, and the other vets to play extremely well. Several rookies will get their shot. Only time will tell. All eyes will be on Rory McIlroy. e European leader has been rather outspoken. He believes his mates have a great chance to steal it. McIlroy struggled mightily the last time we played in the US. ey will need him to perform if they are going to win.
Goosebumps. JJ Spaun, Xander Schau ele, Russell Henley, Collin Morikawa, Ben Gri n, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, and Sam Burns complete the US team. Tommy Fleetwood, Robert McIntyre, Justin Rose, Ras Hojgaard, Tyrell Hatton, John Rahm, Sepp Straka, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg, Shane Low-
ry, and Matt Fitzpatrick join McIlroy on the Europeans.
This splendid venue and I have an interesting relationship. My first job out of college was with the United States Golf Association. I was actually stationed here at Bethpage, gearing up for the 2002 US Open. Yes. I got to meet several big names, but most of my time in Long Island was a total blur. I was on the USGA Operations Team, and we were responsible for everything outside the ropes. Parking, logistics, fencing, signage, and security. It was the year after 9/11, and it was complete madness. I was basically a grunt who served as a getback coach. Somehow, we pulled it off. Tiger won the tournament. I was able to golf on the Black Course a handful of times. My friends and I played from tips once, and that was a huge mistake. The Black is a monster, and it definitely lives up to the hype. They say it is the hardest track in the United States. Routinely tackling 460-yard par 4s into the wind isn’t what you’d call fun. I did hole out my second shot from the fairway on the difficult 15th. Say what? EAGLE. It’s
a very challenging uphill dogleg, and finding my ball in the cup was one of my most memorable experiences in golf. It was definitely a five iron, but I don’t remember the exact yardage. Ask me again in a couple of years. The number constantly changes. I really enjoy watching the world’s top golfers play courses I know. It puts things into perspective, and you quickly realize how talented they are. The folks at Bethpage aren’t your typical golf fans either. They are obnoxiously loud and dress like average Joes. Most wear New York Rangers hockey jerseys. Several Mets and Yankees, too. President Trump is coming to town. It will be super fun to watch.
The 15th hole is one of the toughest holes on the course. It will be a factor down the stretch. The guys will play it at 477 yards. Yes. A par 4. Good lord. Now I cannot predict what will go down. Who will win the cup? How did Rory do? Who knows. But I am positively certain that Bethpage Black will provide the ultimate test. And NO ONE will make an eagle on the 15th. Mark my words. Cheers.
