What We Can Never Forget

Ican remember that bright blue sky and early sunshine like it was only yesterday. It could not have been a more beautiful late summer morning. As I started the workweek, Imus in the morning was on the radio; the rst report on the show was that a small aircra had own into one of the World Trade Center buildings. My rst thought knowing the lay of the lower Manhattan land — how could that happen on such a clear morning?

It would soon become the day that would forever change our Great Country. e safety and isolation from the problems of the World we felt here at home lost in a New York City second. e protection of our homeland borders erased by evil. It’s still very dicult to comprehend and I have caught myself in moments of disbelief — did that really happen or was it just a bad dream? It’s hard to believe 24 years have gone by since our Nation’s second day of infamy.

At 8:46 a.m. American Airlines Flight 11 slammed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. America was under attack by a borderless enemy. e words Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, Taliban, Islamic extremists, jihad

and terrorism were about to become commonplace in America. Nineteen Islamic terrorists using four planes full of innocent people would soon bring more evil and insecurity to our homeland then could ever be imagined.

Shortly a er 9 a.m. United Flight 175 sliced through the South Tower of the World Trade Center. I’m sure as you’re reading this, visions of this cowardly act burn within your memory. is ends any speculation the rst attack was an accident or would be the only attack of the day.

Some of the most horri c visions stuck in my mind are those of innocent people who were just going to work on a peaceful September morning now jumping to their death because the Hell they were trapped in was much worse.

As the World Trade Centers burned and the world watched, the Pentagon became the next target. American Airlines Flight 77 is used as a missile into the Washington, D.C. morning. Remember the fear as you thought, “What is next? Our Nation is under attack!”

We should’ve saw the next event coming, but like the Titanic no one thought the World Trade Centers would go down. At 9:59, with every news camera

locked on it, the South Tower collapsed. e evil terror of the day just reached a much more sinister level. How many lives were just lost before my eyes, as the building seemed to collapse oor by oor into a cloud of dust and smoke that covered Manhattan.

e Islamic extremists got more than they bargained for on board American Airlines Flight 93. Americans fought back! e war on terror begins. e words of Todd Beamer forever heard in a most patriotic way, “Are you guys ready? Let’s roll!” Pennsylvania soil is now the crash site of a plane intended to bring terror to the White House, the Capital Building, or who knows where is our Nation’s Capital.

At 10:28 a.m. the North Tower went down in almost demolition like precision. A cloud of dust and debris again descending across America. Seemingly covering from Manhattan to the Paci c coast.

In an hour and 42 minutes almost 3,000 lives were lost to Islamic terrorism. e fallen include 343 New York City reghters who gave their lives trying to save as many folks as they could. Twenty-three NYPD police o cers and 37

Port Authority police o cers who also went to help fellow Americans on the worst day in American history.

Countless injuries, countless mental anguish and circumstances brought to so many innocent and the death from that deadly cloud of smoke and dust lingering long a er the attack. We will never know the true toll 9/11 took on our Great Nation. I don’t even want to talk about the nancial numbers. ey just do not seem to matter in regards to what this day and event is about.

ese heinous images, memories and yes all the video footage need to burn in our American hearts and minds forever. We can never underestimate what evil can be brought by Islamic extremism. We need to understand you cannot reason, negotiate or tolerate this form of evil. ey know only one thing — they want you and I dead and our way of life ended.

Our Nation must stay on the cutting edge of world intelligence, military strength and eradicate all known Islamic fundamental terrorists. It does not matter whether it’s a lone wolf, 19 organized jihadists of Al Qaeda or ISIS. is is the only way to preserve life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for our children, our children’s children and the United States of America. God Bless and Protect America.

Never Forget

Thursday will mark the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks on the US.

As you go about your day, please take a moment to remember those who lost their lives that day.

‘Tank’ Baird, Todd Winder, and everyone from the 9/11 Memorial Coalition and the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company work tirelessly to make the 9/11 Memorial Ride a safe and meaningful experience. e ride, which is a symbolic journey to honor all those who lost their lives as a result of the attacks, is a powerful way to remember and pay tribute to the victims. We thank them for their dedication and everything they do to make this event possible.

Events at the Fire Company begin at 10 a.m., and the ride starts at 6 p.m. Lou has all the details on page 6.

Please be mindful of the 9/11 Memorial Ride on ursday, as it is expected to cause tra c congestion and road closures. e ride will be passing through several key areas of the town to honor the victims of the

9/11 attacks. I understand this may be inconvenient, and I know the Coalition appreciates your patience and understanding. Please refer to the map on page 7 to familiarize yourself with the ride’s route and any areas to avoid if you need to travel during the ride.

appreciated, but it is also crucial to the success of this event. Together, we can show our support and honor the memory of the 9/11 victims.

As we approach the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, let’s not forget the thousands of US soldiers who have been killed in action since then. eir sacri ce is a stark reminder that freedom is never free. Let’s take a moment to thank them for their service and remember their bravery. I am grateful to all the men and women who are willing to go out and defend our freedom every day.

Major areas to avoid include Southern Ave. in South Williamsport and all of West and East ird St. Remember, if you need to cross ird St. during the ride, be prepared for it to take some time, so complete your errands early or nd an alternative route.

e 9/11 Memorial Ride is not just a bike ride, it’s a powerful symbol of our community’s resilience and unity. Your presence, even if you can’t ride, is invaluable. Please get out and line the streets, wave a ag, and remember those whose lives were lost, those who were injured, and the families le behind. Your involvement is not only

9/11 Memorial Freedom Ride Thursday, September 11

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

As they have for the past 23 years, the 9/11 Freedom Ride Motorcycle Coalition will be holding its 24th annual 42-mile ride of remembrance this Thursday, September 11, to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that claimed more than 2,000 lives.

This memorial ride originally began shortly after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Just four days after that event, a small group of motorcyclists struck with grief, outrage, and a desire to act, decided to symbolically ride for freedom. They were also inspired by local Catholic priest Father John Manno, who, with his Harley Davidson motorcycle named ‘Fred,’ rode with them on that original ride.

Since that time, the original spontaneous, defiant ride has been held each year on the same day and has grown to include thousands of riders. Every year, the ride begins with a memorial service, followed by an escort of law enforcement, traffic control from local fire police, and public gatherings that draw as many as 40,000 spectators along the route through the Lycoming County townships, communities, and the city of Williamsport.

The motto “Never Forget” embodies the

significance of the ride, which has grown in importance over time. A recent Gallup poll shows a record low 58 percent of Americans who are ‘proud’ of their country. This is down from 91 percent two decades ago.

This memorial ride has become one of the region’s most poignant annual remembrances, rooted in that raw, early reaction and later shaped by community commitment to remembrance and solidarity.

The ride is open to all, and no fee is required. However, given that the original ride was for motorcyclists, the ride maintains this tradition, and only motorcyclists are permitted to participate in the 9/11 Freedom Ride. Throughout the day of September 11th, vendors will be selling food and various patriotic items. This leads up to a special memorial program before the 6 p.m. launch.

A tradition to launch the ride was started by Father Manno, who used the iconic words spoken by Todd Beamer, a passenger aboard Flight 93, right before he and other passengers attempted to retake the plane from the hijackers. His last words were “Let’s roll!”

Father Manno has since passed away, but those words are still remembered, and his motorcycle, “Fred,” is carried on in appreciation of his commitment to the ride. As

the riders hear those words and start up their motorcycles, traveling throughout Lycoming County, it symbolizes to the thousands watching that America is still the land of the free and the home of the brave.

e main speaker for this year’s event is State Representative Joe Hamm, who has always been a strong supporter of the ride and whose help as a state representative helped clear away the bureaucratic thicket of permits and permit requirements that the ride had to clear in order to hold the event.

“For 24 years, the men and women of the 9/11 Memorial Coalition have brought

this remembrance to Lycoming County as a reminder of the murder of 2,977 innocent citizens of this nation. Never Forget. Please support our e orts by attending the Memorial Service or by standing curbside. Please y American ags everywhere,” omas ‘Tank’ Baird, who helped start the 9/11 motorcycle ride, told Webb Weekly.

e ride begins and ends at the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company, located at 2311 PA-54, Montgomery, PA 17752. Telephone: (570) 547-1000. For more information about the ride and the 9/11 Memorial Motorcycle Ride Map, go to https://www.911memorialcoalition.org.

County Hall Corner: The Kids Are Alright

Blair Steward

In a world where division seems to dominate headlines, Lycoming County discovered this week an unexpected source of unity that inspired and surprised us all. It’s in times of adversity that our unity and respect for one another shine.

During their weekly meeting, the Lycoming County Commissioners unveiled details for what promises to be one of the area’s most potent and exciting community celebrations: “Farm to Table Night” on September 18th at the county farm. is innovative event has already captured the imagination of local producers and residents alike, with over 30 vendors con rmed to participate in what organizers describe as a comprehensive showcase of the region’s agricultural excellence.

e Farm-to-Table Night represents far more than a simple community gathering. It’s a proud showcase of our region’s agricultural excellence, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our local farmers and producers. e event promises to showcase the sophisticated agricultural ecosystem that thrives in the region, featuring a diverse range of products, including organic produce, grassfed livestock, handcra ed cheeses, and locally sourced honey.

is celebration of agricultural abundance takes on deeper meaning given the broader themes of unity and community support that dominated the commissioners’ meeting. e

farm-to-table concept itself embodies the kind of interconnectedness and mutual support that community leaders are working to foster throughout Lycoming County.

e meeting took a more serious turn when Dov Gordon, representing our local Jewish community, addressed commissioners about a billboard in the area that targets Jews with what he characterized as false claims about the birth of Christ. Gordon’s message emphasized love and mutual support rather than division, calling for community members to li each other up instead of tearing each other down.

Gordon’s appeal for interfaith solidarity resonated with Chairman Metzger’s subsequent re ections on his recent experiences at the Little League World Series. Having spent two weeks immersed in the tournament atmosphere, Metzger returned with observations that challenged everyone present to reconsider their understanding of human nature and

community building.

e Chairman painted a vivid picture of young athletes from around the globe meeting for the rst time and forming bonds of friendship and mutual respect immediately. ese children, representing every conceivable background, color, and creed, demonstrated an innate capacity for connection that transcended cultural barriers. eir interactions revealed something both beautiful and instructive about humanity’s potential for unity.

Particularly striking was Metzger’s observation of these young people proudly singing their respective national anthems while simultaneously embracing competitors from

other nations with genuine warmth and a ection. is demonstration of how patriotism and international friendship can coexist without con ict provided a powerful example for adult community members struggling with division and prejudice.

e contrast between childhood innocence and adult reality became a central theme in Metzger’s message. He noted with evident concern that while children naturally embrace diversity and forge connections across cultural divides, the adult world remains plagued by hatred and division. e troubling reality, as he observed, is that this hatred originates entirely from adult in uences rather than any natural human inclination toward animosity.

is observation led Metzger to pose a fundamental question: What happens during the journey from childhood to adulthood that allows hatred to take root where love and acceptance once ourished naturally? e question carried weight given the billboard controversy Gordon had addressed, illustrating how adult prejudices manifest in ways that would never occur to children naturally.

e Chairman’s ultimate message was uncompromising: the hatred must stop. is declaration served as both an indictment of current conditions and a call to action for meaningful change. His challenge to the community was clear: it’s time to examine our roles in either perpetuating division or fostering the unity that children demonstrate instinctively. We must all work together to stop the spread of hatred and promote unity in our

community.

e connection between Gordon’s concerns about community targeting and Metzger’s observations about childhood acceptance created a powerful parallel that emphasized the same fundamental principle: communities thrive when people support one another rather than seeking to diminish those who are di erent.

e September 18th celebration now represents more than an agricultural showcase; it embodies the kind of community solidarity that both Gordon and Metzger advocated. Your support and participation are crucial to the success of events like the upcoming Farmto-Table Night. Community members interested in participating can contact Lycoming County o ces for vendor information or attendance details.

Outerwear Trends

As fall is just about upon us, it’s time to check in on the upcoming coat and jacket trends for the months ahead. Fall is ripe for an outerwear reboot, as there are so many options in terms of fresh collections and seasonal upgrades.

It certainly helps that one needs a coat for winter, so why not combine function with style and pick up a new, trendy jacket here this season?

Here’s a rundown of a few of-the-mo-

ment coat styles to consider for fall/ winter.

First up, funnel-neck jackets, especially those on the sportier side, tend to lean more toward function than fashion. Uniqlo’s Cotton Blend Short Parka features a water-repellent material and a hood. You can wear this casually with wide-leg jeans or pull-on pants, paired with a V-neck sweater or faux-wrap top, as the coat will provide coverage for your neck and throat. If a shorter silhouette doesn’t speak to your style,

check out & Other Stories’ A-line Funnel-Neck Jacket in khaki green, beige, or dark blue. This piece leans on the utilitarian aesthetic but also boasts a buckle belt closure for a bit of flair on an otherwise simple shape. To balance out this coat’s volume, pair it with cropped trousers or a straight, kneelength skirt. Of course, if you consider yourself a next-level outfitter, you may be able to get away with a flared jean or throw it over a printed maxi dress. On the flip side of the funnel are collarless jackets. You can whip one over just about any outfit to feel confident. The ladylike cut of this coat style can be dressed up or down. Nordstrom’s One-Button Long Coat in black can elevate a running-errands look of leggings and an oversized flannel shirt (with perhaps the collar popping over the coat), while on a different day it will put a final polish on a shirt dress (again with a popped collar) and pumps. I also love the idea of this coat in combination with a fully buttoned

shirt and a necklace layer underneath the shirt’s collar, maybe even closing the coat with the necklace on top. For something a bit more eccentric, consider Abercrombie & Fitch’s Quilted Collarless Non-Closure Jacket in a burgundy or blue pattern. This definitely taps into the boho trend, and while not as practical as a funnel-neck or longer coat, this is the perfect mid-fall layer to add some print and whimsy to a neutral outfit. The blue version, in particular, really stands out when paired with denim.

Another material that goes great with jeans are all things suede. Sumptuous, mysterious, and elegant, a suede jacket gives you the opportunity to play with texture in your look while being extremely versatile. Ann Taylor’s Studio Collection Suede Collared Jacket in a toasty camel is an investment piece you can wear year after year. For this fall, pair it with a mock-neck sweater, wool trousers, and a loafer. As we head into winter, make it part of your holiday uniform, and next fall, pair it with dark denim pants and a plaid shirt combo. Zara’s faux suede jacket in a darker brown is a bit more budget-friendly and really pops against a bright blue

top, again worn with jeans. Speaking of faux, I’d be remiss in my reporting if we didn’t take a moment to consider faux fur coats. I am not personally a fan of fur, real or fake, in any form, but I take my job seriously, so as a trending item, I’d recommend looking for a vintage-like version. Or better yet, go hunting for actual vintage or secondhand items. Check out sites like Beyond Retro or redup to see what they have on o er to get a scally and ethically responsible coat. Balance the luxurious feel of a fur jacket with a minimalist look of winter whites or beige separates. Complete the look with a bit of punctuation, like a red shoe or statement earring, or both. Plaid is to fall what owers are to spring; not necessarily groundbreaking but quintessential. Banana Republic Factory’s Knit Boucle Coat in black or pink plaid would make a great topper to any fall look, particularly a thin-ribbed knit dress with knee-high boots. If you’re fully on the plaid boat, check out Anne Klein’s Plaid Belted Button-Front Trench Jacket and matching Wide-Leg Mid-Rise Pants for a shoulder-to-ankle plaid ensemble. Full-on plaid can be a

lot, so if you’re not up for the challenge, break up these pieces and wear the jacket with a turtleneck, black straight pants, and crisp white sneakers. If you are looking to break some ground, sartorially speaking, skip the plaid and pick out some polka dot action. Walmart’s Dolkfu Quilted Black Polka Dot Collarless Button-Down Pu er marries two trends in one. e white dots and collar-free cut would make a cute accompaniment to a red, high-necked sweater and black jeans look, or with a ru y blouse and dress slacks. Bloom Chic o ers a Static-Free Polka Dot Double-Breasted Coat in indigo, available in sizes 10-30, making it a light topper on a misty day. Wear with rain boots and your coziest of matching sets for a comfortable, yet stylish running-around-town look. As you know, trends come and go, so you may already have older versions of these outerwear options hanging in your closet, looking at you, plaid shacket. If so, it’s time to take them to the dry cleaners and give them a new life this season. A good coat will take simple clothes and enhance your look into out t territory.

Having a pet is one of the greatest joys we get to experience on this earth. Whether it’s a dog, cat, bird, or any other animal, they bring love, comfort, and companionship in ways nothing else can.

To someone on the fence about making the commitment to a furry friend, it might seem like just another responsibility. But the truth is, the more care and attention you give them, the more joy and unconditional love they give back. Somehow, without ever saying a word, they make life brighter, calmer,

My childhood dog, Buddy, wasn’t just a pet — he was my brother. Wherever I went, he went. Exploring the woods, lying in the grass, running through the yard — Buddy was always by my side. He taught me loyalty, responsibility, and what it means to love unconditionally, all without ever speaking a word.

After Buddy, Finn — or Finjamo Johnson, as my brother likes to call him — became the family dog. He came into our lives when my parents became empty nesters, and he wasn’t just their dog. He was the glue that kept the house lively and our family connected. For me, he was a grounding presence, always greeting me with that wild tail wag no matter how long I’d been away.

Then came Buck. My guy. He’s been

ANOTHER SOUL

with me through adulthood — from my rst apartment to my rst house, through milestones, adventures, and quiet nights on the couch. We’ve grown together, and yes, we both have a little more gray than when we rst met — his from chasing squirrels, mine from trying to keep him from eating things he shouldn’t.

recently had to say goodbye to her best friend, Karlos — a black cat who seemed to have nine lives and then some. She didn’t even choose him; he found her, and they loved each other until the very end. A erward, my mom reminded her that somewhere, there’s another animal who needs her just as much as she needs them — and she’s right. ere’s always another soul waiting to be loved.

e beauty of a good dog lies in how they show up di erently at every stage of life. Buddy shaped my childhood. Finn kept our family close during transitions. Buck has been my steady companion through adulthood. eir love is unconditional, their loyalty unmatched, and their presence makes life richer in ways nothing else can.

Riley Green’s words hit harder than ever: “I wish good dogs never got gray and old.” But maybe that’s the point. ey remind us to savor every moment, to be present, and to cherish the kind of love that lingers long a er their paws leave the oor.

Be intentional when choosing a companion. Adopt an animal that feels right for you. It’s hard to explain, but you’ll just know. My nanny

I guess my whole point is this: animals need us just as much as we need them. ey’re there for the good, the bad, and all the in-between moments. To them, you are a superhero. So, if you’re ready, adopt — don’t shop — and nd yourself a best friend.

Because once you do, life will never be the same.

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the sh in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. ~ Job 12:7-10

City Landmark to Disappear as Park Hotel is Remodeled

by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

One of Williamsport’s oldest landmarks will be effaced as such when the 75-year-old Park Hotel is remodeled into a home for the aged through operations to begin in early October.

Built three-quarters of a century ago it was known in its earliest days as the Herdic House. It was named for Peter Herdic, who built it in 1864. Around the hotel and that section of the city were woven the tales of the schemes which Peter Herdic had for transferring the heart of the city from the present location to a point one mile to the west.

He took no chances on his hotel being isolated however, for he built the Park Hotel railroad station in con-

junction with it, specifying when he gave the railroad the right-of-way that it must maintain it for a station and ticket office at the very doors of his hotel.

The five- acre property and hotel were purchased on January 1, 1938, by the Laura V. Stuart Memorial Foundation, which is now ready to remodel the structure for use as a home for aged persons. The memorial will be known as the Park Home.

Present plans call for the removal of the top two upper stories of the structure and for extensive remodeling to provide living accommodations for 100 persons in the lower two floors. The work will be completed in three to six months, and every effort will be made to preserve the unusually fine Victorian architecture of the original structure.

TOWN HALL MEETING

OF DISCUSSION

PROPERTY TAX ELIMINATION

This legislative session, Rep. Wendy Fink has introduced House Bill 1649, which is a comprehensive plan to eliminate school property taxes in Pennsylvania.

The current rate at which school property taxes are increasing is unsustainable. If this persists, Pennsylvanians will continue to lose their homes or choose to leave the Commonwealth. The most recent demographic outlook shows a rapidly expanding retiree population whose growing costs falls on a shrinking working-age population.

The initiative must move forward to eliminate unfair, unsustainable school property taxes. This legislation would also ensure no single demographic group in this Commonwealth shoulders the entire burden of this tax elimination.

Andrea’s Home Cookin’…

Where Were You (When the

World Stopped Turnin’?)

here were you when the world stopped turnin’

at September day?

Were you in the yard with your wife and children

Or workin’ on some stage in L.A.?

what they do?

Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer

And look at yourself and what really matters?

I’m just a singer of simple songs

I’m not a real political man

Andrea McElroy

I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you e di erence in Iraq and Iran

Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke

But I know Jesus and I talk to God

Risin’ against that blue sky?

Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor

Or did you just sit down and cry?

Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones

Pray for the ones who don’t know?

Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble

And sob for the ones le below?

Did you burst out with pride for the red, white, and blue

And the heroes who died just doin’

And I remember this from when I was young

Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us

And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turnin’ at September day?

Teachin’ a class full of innocent children

Or drivin’ down some cold interstate?

Did you feel guilty ‘cause you’re a survivor?

In a crowded room did you feel alone?

Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?

Did you dust off that Bible at home?

Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened

Close your eyes and not go to sleep?

Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages

And speak to some stranger on the street?

Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow

Go out and buy you a gun?

Did you turn off that violent old movie you’re watchin’

And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers

Stand in line to give your own blood?

Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family

Thank God you had somebody to love?

I’m just a singer of simple songs

I’m not a real political man

I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you

The difference in Iraq and Iran

But I know Jesus and I talk to God

And I remember this from when I was young Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us

And the greatest is love

I’m just a singer of simple songs

I’m not a real political man

I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you

The difference in Iraq and Iran

But I know Jesus and I talk to God

And I remember this from when I was young Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us

And the greatest is love

And the greatest is love

And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turnin’

On that September day?

Cold Training Revisited

*This article is intended for education and entertainment purposes only, so before you go freezing your icicles off, talk to your doctor.

In a previous article titled “Is Cold Training Right for You?,” I explored the practice of exposing one’s body to near-freezing temperatures to elicit health benefits. As I explained in the article, the practice has gained popularity with celebrity endorsers such as Joe Rogan and Mark Wahlberg.

and overall heartiness in health and life.

In addition, the sale of cold plunge pools, contrast bathing, and water chillers for home use has become big business. Taken in the form of showers, baths, or just plain standing or sitting in freezing temperatures, the practice of cold training has been around for thousands of years. The purpose of which is to invigorate the body, mind, and spirit. Interestingly, recent research has given some validity to a host of purported benefits, including an improved immune system, relief from symptoms of depression, boosted energy, improved cardiovascular health, and increased mental focus.

Personally, my own interest in cold training goes back to my research of the early fitness trainers and strongmen of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who used it to augment their strength training, vigor,

While the science is promising, most studies conclude with the term, “further study is needed”, and as such, like most research, is not definitive. However, I had a professor who once said that if someone is getting results and you don’t understand why, then it is incumbent upon you to explore further. So, being the human Guinea pig that I am, I decided to see for myself what all of the fuss was about. I’m sure everyone is anxious to hear how I froze my butt off and looked like a complete idiot to my family, but before I get to that, let’s first take a look at some of the history and practices of cold training. In ancient times, it was said that the Greek warrior society, the Spartans, would take cold baths because it was simply more beneficial than a hot one. It was also probably much easier to arrange at the time as well, as a fire wasn’t necessary. During the first century, the Finns would use the heat of the sauna, then go cold swimming, which was called avantouinti; a practice which is popular in Scandinavian countries to this day. In fact, there are probably few people who haven’t heard of a polar bear swim, which is some crazy person’s idea of a good time and/or an excuse to squeeze a few bucks

COLD

out of unsuspecting people for charity. Over the centuries, many cultures have incorporated some form of cold training or therapy into their health regimens as a way of staving o or curing illness. is includes Native American tribes, who, like the Finns, would sweat it out in a lodge and then jump into a cold pond or lake. Russians and other cold-weather cultures would also bathe in frigid streams or lakes to boost their immune system and build energy. In more recent times, Dutchman Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, has been gaining notoriety. Inspired by religion and mysticism a er the suicide of his wife, Hof searched out ways that he might help treat things such as depression. A er decades of exploration, he stumbled upon what is now known as the Wim Hof Method, whereby the combination of breathing techniques and cold bathing has allowed Hof and countless others to withstand extreme cold for prolonged periods of time. Hof believes that, through his method, virtually anyone can reduce stress, improve concentration and energy, and build a stronger immune system. Such training has also allowed Hof to set many cold-related records, such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, standing covered with ice cubes for 112 minutes, and running a half-marathon above the Arctic Circle without shoes.

Now, the part I’m sure everyone wants to

hear about. My own experience with cold training. Having grown up in the snowbelt of Upstate New York, I’m no stranger to cold temperatures. As a kid, I swam in the Finger Lakes in the o -season, which is no joke, and would o en get yelled at by my mother for not wearing a winter coat. Still, until this year, I had not voluntarily and regularly subjected myself to extremely cold temperatures on purpose. ere are many methods of cold training, but one of the most basic methods is taking a cold shower, which is where I started. I would start o my normal daily shower with hot water, then turn the water exclusively to cold for the last 10 seconds. I’m not going to lie, it sucked. I found myself breathing like I just sprinted a 10K race, and I was thinking this might be a bad idea, but I powered through the discomfort. Every day, I would add ve seconds, until, over time, this became my regular shower routine. No hot water used at all! en, to take things up a notch, I decided to add cold plunges to my routine. A er checking out cold tubs online, some of which sold for over $10,000, I decided to purchase a simple,100-gallon tub.

Price tag, $110. I am fortunate to own a gated backyard and have placed the tub near my garage with access to a hose and freezer, so I was able to make my own ice blocks. My practice became to make around 75 pounds of ice the night before

my scheduled baths, fill the tub with ice and a little cold water the next morning, and let the ice melt over a few hours. Checking the temperature with an inexpensive pool thermometer, I discovered I was able to get the temperature of the bath down to around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Not too bad for a DIY kit. I started by sitting in the tub for a few minutes, twice a week, and have been able to gradually expand that period to over 15 minutes on a good day, depending upon exact temperature and my ability to focus. I have also found that practicing various tempos of concentrated breathing helps me to stay in the cold for longer.

So, what have I found having practiced cold training for the last five months? Well, I personally feel that my body has been able to adapt quite well to this environmental stressor, which I find fascinating. There is a mild euphoric feeling that lasts for several hours after the cold exposure, and I feel much calmer and better able to handle stress. I have also found that if I am feeling especially stressed, a jolt of cold seems to snap me out of it, boost my mood, and improve my energy level. My endurance for tasks like heavy yard work, hiking, and other physical activities seems to have also improved.

Regarding my immune system, I rarely get sick and still only average a single cold a year. So, not much of a change, although I suspect for most people there might be some improvement. Currently, my practice is to take exclusively cold showers every day and maintain a routine of ice baths

twice weekly. I plan on continuing this regimen into the foreseeable future and will report back on how things go through the winter, which should be interesting. Make no mistake, this is stressful for the body; therefore, the purpose of this article is in no way to give advice, but to educate and entertain you. Cold training is something that, like exercise, should be practiced and trained regularly so that adaptation can occur. A word of caution: I have repeatedly referred to cold training as a stressor, which it indeed is. And, like any stress, it should be given respect. It should be tried only after much consideration and a professional health evaluation. Additionally, more is not always better. As with any stressor, such as heat, cold, exercise, etc., the body needs to adapt over time to small doses. Everyone needs to determine how much and how long exposure to cold is optimal. Besides the obvious issues with hypothermia, frostbite, and potential heart attack, cold treatments are also thought to halt or slow hypertrophy when used excessively. (A quick physiology lesson: hypertrophy is the body’s increase in muscle size that is attained through strength training.) So, for now, keep working to be the best version of yourselves. Improve your daily habits. Eat whole, nutritious food and exercise regularly. Socialize and maintain healthy relationships. And live life to the fullest.

By Joseph W. Smith III

Perhaps only Wes Anderson would have the audacity to cast Bill Murray as God. He’s also among the few people who could pull it off — without seeming blasphemous or just plain silly. In fact, the latest from this idiosyncratic filmmaker — The Phoenician Scheme — winds up charting a similarly surprising spiritual journey: It actually has a Judeo-Christian worldview.

For those who don’t follow modern movies, Anderson is the instantly recognizable auteur behind such quirky films as The Royal Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel and the animated Isle of Dogs. With his richly lit colors, sedate pacing, deadpan humor, understated acting and (especially) spare, squarish visuals, Anderson is something of an acquired taste; but I think this new film — though it has all that, along with the usual eye-popping cast — is among his most accessible.

Set in the 1950s, Phoenician follows the selfish and avaricious tycoon Anatole Z. Korda (Benicio del Toro) in his titular plan to combine several industrial initiatives into a massive money-making scheme. Problem is, Korda has been so ruthless that he is now the subject of repeated assassination attempts, several of which involve blowing up his private, two-engine plane.

what makes this film especially relatable is the relative warmth of the acting and the characters. Del Toro plays tough, but there’s a growing twinkle of humanity that shows through — and the ascetic Liesl likewise gets softer as the plot proceeds. (The actress, incidentally, is Kate Winslet’s daughter.)

The rest of the cast (most appearing briefly) includes Michael Cera, Jeffrey Wright, Bryan Cranston, Tom Hanks, Willem Dafoe, Benedict Cumberbatch and Scarlett Johanssen — among many others.

Another aspect that sets this apart from much of Anderson’s work: The thing is laugh-out-loud funny, with some truly priceless dialog:

Most of these leave the man so close to death that he actually enters a silveryblack-and-white afterlife, where he’s confronted with some of his misdeeds — like a 20th-century Ebenezer Scrooge. (This is where Murray’s moment comes in, and despite my respect for the second commandment, I felt Anderson handled it with care and respect: brief, Scriptural and played utterly straight.)

So, Korda seems to be developing a conscience, part of which involves reconnecting with his only daughter, Liesl (Mia Threapleton) — and trying to set her up as his heir.

It’s gratifying to see what a pleasant, down-to-earth conclusion Anderson arranges out of all these complicated machinations. But even before that,

“I don’t know these terrorists. Must come from out of town.”

“I’ve been shot, but my diplomatic credentials slowed it down.”

As a sample of Korda’s personality: “Why would anyone do something I didn’t tell them to?” … “Break but don’t bend.” … “I don’t need my human rights.”

And then there’s the delightfully recurring, “Help yourself to a hand grenade.”

These snippets will give you some idea whether Phoenician Scheme is your cup of cinematic tea. Personally, except for 2012’s lovely and charming Moonrise Kingdom, I liked it best of Anderson’s work — and I loved it even more on my second viewing.

Try it once and see what you think.

What is Truth? Truth Is What Sets You Free

Note: is is the seventh and nal article in the “What is Truth?” series. Previous articles are always available at www.webbweekly.com.

First, a quick recap of the past six articles: Truth is a statement that agrees with reality.

Universal truth governs all physical and spiritual reality. It is true for everyone everywhere. It is indisputable. For most of Christianity, universal truth is identi ed and celebrated in the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Lord’s Prayer. ese statements provide the basis for universal unity in the Christian world – the supernatural unity required by Jesus and necessary for the accomplishment of the mission of God. See John 17. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul identi ed universal truth as truth of rst importance

Communal truth governs a group of people experiencing a common reality. Communal truth provides local unity in disputable matters. See Romans 14. Communal truth cannot defy universal truth. In Christianity, denominations and local churches identify their communal truth in the statements of faith that serve as the basis for church membership or identi cation. Communal truth is truth of second importance

Personal truth governs individuals within

Tim Hartzell

their one-of-a-kind reality. For a Christian, it is the basis of personal convictions. Personal truth cannot defy universal truth, and it submits itself to communal truth for the sake of group unity. As Paul stated in Romans 14:22, “So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.” Personal truth is truth of third importance

Truth can also be simple and complex. Simple truth is observable, practical, and applicable. It is common sense. Complex truth requires the speculative investigation of the sciences and philosophy. Simple and complex truth complement each other, and wise is the person who pursues both. Finally, faith truth is based con dently on the observable evidence that reveals the unseen and unprovable. Hebrews 11:1 declares, “Now faith is con dence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” It is transcendent truth. e Apostle Paul acknowledged faith truth when he stated, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Scientists and Christians alike rely on faith in observable evidence to guide them into greater discovery and knowledge. OK, now that the groundwork has been laid,

we

and freedom are a matched set, and a person who knows truth and lives by it will never be in bondage.

If you believe something is true, and it isn’t true, the result will be bondage.

If you buy a house you believe you can afford, and the reality is you can’t afford it, you will be in bondage to a mortgage, a second job, maxed-out credit cards, and a load of stress. Buy a house that is well within your means, and you will have the freedom to travel, go out to eat, golf on Saturdays, be generous with others, and support good causes.

If you believe something isn’t true, and it is true, it will also lead to bondage.

Several studies identify cocaine as the most addictive drug. If you choose to believe those studies aren’t true and begin using cocaine, you will likely develop an addiction – a terrible form of bondage. If you know the truth about addictive substances, and you keep them out of your body, you will remain free from addiction.

My friend, when we choose to live by truth, the result is freedom. Any time we act on something that does not agree with reality, we suffer bondage. This is true in every aspect of life: emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and relational.

Jesus connected truth and freedom in John 8:31-32, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Now we must acknowledge something unfor-

tunate: some of what religion teaches as truth results in bondage. To be blunt, religious people are often enslaved to obligation and legalism that steals freedom from their lives. The result is a form of bondage called hypocrisy –living one way publicly (to please or impress others) while living another way privately (to please themselves). If you’re a religious hypocrite, then you know the bondage of trying to manage two different lives. It requires constant cover-up and stokes the fear of exposure. As Mark Twain said, “Always tell the truth and you don’t have to remember anything.” My friend, freedom comes when we live our lives, both publicly and privately, to please God.

In Matthew 23:25-26, Jesus calls out religious hypocrisy and then gives the cure, “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.” Authenticity, seeking to please God, both inside and out, is the path to freedom from the bondage of religious hypocrisy.

Are you in bondage? Truth can set you free. It will require wisdom, courage, and sacrifice, but to those who wholeheartedly pursue and live by truth, freedom is the reward. Today is the best day to get started. Pick one area of bondage and bring it into the light of truth. Courageously make wise choices, even if they require painful sacrifice, and very soon you will be free!

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

Replacing a garage door may not be the most exciting house update, but it yields some of the highest returns when it comes to resale value. The average cost of replacing a 16’ x 7’ garage door is $4,513 with an average resale value of $8,751.

The entry door is one of the first things a potential buyer sees when entering your home. The average cost of replacing a front door with a steel door and dual-pane halfglass panel is $2,355 with an average resale value of $4,430.

OK, I’ll admit it; I absolutely enjoy shing, especially when there is a lot of catching going on while I’m in the process of shing.

And like many shermen, over the years, I’ve developed some favorite techniques, lures, and equipment choices.

Ken Hunter

a whole new shing world opened up. Not only did I get into some serious y shing, but like a lot of others who get into y shing, I also started tying my own ies.

When I was still in school, I was taught how to catch trout with salmon eggs and a light, openfaced spinning out t. I caught plenty of trout, and it was my one and only choice for trout shing for many years.

Eventually, a day came when the water was very low, clear, and the salmon eggs failed to produce much action. However, another friend of mine was catching the trout with a y out t and little dry ies.

I began learning to y sh, and

e same scenario happened with me when it came to bass shing. In my high school days, I started bass shing with live minnows, but then I discovered that arti cial minnow lures, such as those made by Rebel and Rapala, worked just as well. ey were also a whole lot less trouble to deal with and to take along on a shing trip.

Not only did adding new and di erent lures to my arsenal improve my success, but as I already mentioned when I began y shing, new ways to present lures also added to my success.

As my bass shing continued over the years, it wasn’t long until I began to make use of the

bait-casting out ts. Although many shermen dislike these outts and are reluctant to try them, they serve a purpose and, in certain situations, outperform other presentations. Bait-casters are very durable and sturdy, and work well in weedy water or water with lots of obstructions where bass often hold out.

e point is, open-faced spinning out ts, y rods, and bait casters are all very di erent, but knowing how to use all of them certainly increases your chances of success.

Again, I recall my early days of shing, when I headed out to a favorite local lake for some bass shing, but I didn’t have any live minnows and not even any night crawlers. I didn’t expect much, but I did have one of those new, so plastic worms that someone gave me. Out of desperation, I put it on and immediately began to catch bass. Anybody who’s into bass shing these days knows what a big impact the arti cial so plastics have had on our shing success; I wouldn’t even think of go-

ing out on a bass shing excursion these days without a good selection of so plastics from grubs, worms, lizards, wacky rigs, Nedrigs, and a lot of other selections.

Not only is it wise to add and learn to use new lures to your selection, but also learning the different techniques and how to use the various tools to present those lures will de nitely enhance the catching part of shing. e more diverse species of sh you pursue, the more important it is to be willing to use di erent presentations. is is especially important when dealing with a multitude of di erent conditions and environments during our outings.

In other words, the more versatile you are willing to be, the more likely you will be to add more numbers to your shing success.

Now here’s hoping I can nd some time to get out and drop a dry y along a shaded edge in a nice pool on a favorite trout stream or maybe even work a wacky rig at the edge of a deep weed bed on a nearby lake.

Cutters End Summer Stay

An old sports axiom states, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish that counts.”

That same axiom could also be applied to the 2025 Williamsport Crosscutters’ MLB Draft League season, which ended last week.

The defending 2024 league champions got off to a good start, holding first place midway through the first half before enduring an 11-game losing streak. The team could not gain traction during the second half, finishing with a losing record.

Scott Lowery

Nevertheless, Crosscutters’ management continued to provide the local area with an enjoyable community asset not available in most population centers of our size.

As the Crosscutters’ season concluded, General Manager Doug Estes shared his thoughts on the 2025 summer.

“Overall, it has been a decent season. The weather really hampered us early on. June was rough. Every home game was affected by the weather, and three of our first seven games were cancelled. July and August were better months, but weather issues presented some problems.

“Our schedule wasn’t bad regarding days of the week when we were home. The challenges we have involve Major League Baseball and their build-outs for the MLB

game. This affects between eight and twelve games when parking is limited, and pedestrian traffic is affected. It is hard to put a specific number on how that affects our attendance, but we know it is not fantastic for us. Overall, it hasn’t been a bad year. Attendance is pretty flat, but I equate that mostly to the weather.

“MLB has put a lot of money into the playing field, and they control the playing field. The game is a great thing for the city, but unfortunately, it isn’t a great thing for us from a business perspective. But we’ve got to go with the flow. We’ve tried to encourage Major League Baseball to understand how that affects our business, but we haven’t gotten too far with those conversations.”

From his bird’s-eye view in the press box, Rob Thomas concluded his 25th year as the team’s public address announcer.

“There isn’t one particular thing I like best about this job; it’s just kind of everything. I love baseball, obviously. I enjoy the people I work with. I enjoy watching players and seeing the opportunity for them to move up and achieve their baseball goals. It’s really been a lot of fun.

“I think to a large part of the community, Crosscutters baseball is very important. It gives people the opportunity to come out,

have a nice evening, and watch a baseball game. Like myself, they enjoy seeing players chasing their dreams. When we were a liated with a Major League team, that opportunity was more prevalent than it is now. But since we’ve been a member of the Dra League, we’ve seen players make it to the Major Leagues. I think that is exciting, and I think that it’s exciting for a lot of people around town.

“Since 2017, I’ve housed players during the season, and several of them have made it to the Major Leagues. Alex Bohm lived with me. Bryson Stott, Matt Verling, and Spencer Howard, who is now pitching in Japan, did also. So, the Crosscutters have been an important part of my life.”

During the team’s last homestand, Penn State football and State College Spikes radio voice Steve Jones shared his perspective on the Spikes’ rst-half championship and the MLB Dra League’s one-game playo format.

“I think it is something they don’t have much chance to change. You have players in the rst half who have the option of being dra ed or going back to school. In the second half, you have players who have exhausted their collegiate eligibility and are now being paid to play. I think it is the only way they can do it, and it’s the only way for the league’s franchises to survive nancially because they need an 80-game season. I think it is a fun way to do it. In a one-game playo , anything can happen.

Spikes’ attendance at the ballpark has been heightened by the promotions.

ey do a great job with a wide variety of promotions that interest the fans. ey’ve also had six weeks or so to promote the fact that they will be hosting the league championship game. at night will be Dollar Dog Night; Penn State students will get in free. It will also be irsty ursday, and they have done a great job promoting it. e various promotions have enabled the Spikes to draw over 100,000 for the season.

“State College has put a lot of money into the ballpark. e money put in has been about meeting Major League Baseball standards. Most of these improvements are things the fans don’t see. e internal improvements involve the clubhouses, adding a women’s locker room, the weight room, and establishing clubhouse lounges for both teams. All of this has been done so that State College will have the ability to hopefully get a call to become an a liated team.

“Frederick, Maryland, got that call from the Orioles. To get back to being an a liated team, the commitment has to be made. State College has made that commitment, and anybody who comes in to see that ballpark isave my Minor Leaguers here.”

As for the Crosscutters, plans for 2026 are underway. Team Director of Smiles, Rhashan West-Bay, is already looking ahead to next year.

“I love all my fans. ey always love me and want me to be back here again next year.”

Hats o to the Williamsport Millionaires. ey are o to a great start. e boys are 2-0 and will host Central Mountain later tonight.

I had a chance to call my alma mater last weekend. ey looked solid and defeated the Hazleton Cougars 28-7. It was a rather festive evening. Senior Giovanni White is a magician. e scrappy, fast senior running back is putting up Tecmo Bowl numbers. Gio had 218 yards and three touchdowns.

Sophomore quarterback Tevin Williams is super fun to watch. He has a great arm and is so tough to bring down. My man can dance.

Junior Trey Damschroder is a stud running his patterns. Trey has four catches and 88 yards receiving this season.

e O-line is getting much better. A shout-out to my guys, Cordoza Minor, Jaxson ompson, Owen Newcomer, Christopher Terrano, and Kaden Flook. Keep doing your thing.

Senior Lucas Naughton leads the stingy defense. e little big man is a tackling machine.

I also enjoyed seeing Brayden Ungard. He was everywhere. e kid played soccer last fall. Brayden handles the kicking. He is a new weapon on both sides of the ball.

I need to give some love to a young friend. My man will be crucial to the Millionaires’ successes down the stretch. Junior Zion Hughes may not step on the eld this fall. But his leadership in the locker room will help. Zion is an incredible athlete. Hughes played quarterback and receiver for Williamsport last season. He also started in the defensive secondary. Zion is another basketball star. He was our starting point guard as a sophomore. Big things were on the horizon in 2025. But then.

ere was a minor setback.

“I was on a fast break at a basketball game,” Zion explained. “I went to jump, and everything stopped. My body went one way, and my knee popped. I tore my ACL. It was tough. I had surgery on September 2nd. No sports for me while I get better. No football. No basketball. Yes. It has been hard.”

I believe I was in Montana when I

heard the news. Man. is one hurt. I felt so bad for my dude. Zion is the same age as my son. ey played all the sports together growing up. He is a special athlete who works super hard. Zion was starting to understand it. He was getting good. Hughes de nitely has a swagger. Great looking kid with an even better smile. Baseball. Basketball. Football. Pickleball. It didn’t matter. Zion Hughes was always one of the better players. With this injury, Zion will need to shi gears. He will need to be a leader.

“I still go to every practice, game, and function,” Zion continued. “I believe I can still help my teammates. I watch lm with my guys and give them some pointers. I may see something on offense or defense. Tevin (Williams) trusts me. I can talk to him as a friend or a coach if needed. We go over the di erent looks. When to use his legs. Which receiver is open. Trust your checkdowns. Take a shot here.

“ e injury has changed my perspec-

tive,” Zion concluded. “I plan to work extremely hard in physical therapy. I try to work hard in everything that I do. is is just a tad di erent. I am still very hungry and determined. I still have goals and dreams. My knee just put a few things on hold. I can’t wait to get back to playing. Soon, I will be back in the gym, getting up my shots, or on the eld, throwing the ball. But now I am just doing what I can to help our guys win.”

Sports are great. ey teach us so many great lessons. Season-ending injuries are part of it. I feel awful for Zion. But he will embrace this. He is nding other ways to make an impact. Stay tuned, folks. He will be back. Go Millionaires. Get better soon, kid. Cheers.
