Hopefully, the Beginning Not a Tragic End

The very freedoms that have enabled our Nation to achieve greatness have always created a vulnerability to be used against the law-abiding in an evil manner. Unfortunately, last week, as we remembered 9/11, the 10th of September became another day we must not forget.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the wife and children of Charlie Kirk. As they continue their journey in the mortal world, I can’t even imagine dealing with the aftermath of what occurred.

Charlie was, by all accounts, a good Christian man and a great husband and father. His seat will never again be filled for birthdays, special events, and life’s milestones as his young children grow up. As I have learned about Charlie, I have no doubt his beliefs and life’s work have earned him a spot in heaven. I have trouble wrapping my mind around the senseless pain his family, along with all those who loved him, must now face.

To me, this is the greatest tragedy about what occurred on the campus of Utah Valley University as he began the American Comeback Tour. As I am penning this, the killer has just been

apprehended, and I will not discuss the how, what, and whys or turn this into any type of political discussion.

On the day Charlie left us, he was doing what he loved: sharing his heart, mind, and beliefs, fueled by his Christian faith, with young Americans. He used his unbelievable passion and work ethic to take these ideas to places he would receive resistance, college and high school campuses. He would engage in open discussion with anybody and asked those with the greatest disagreement to move to the front. He had to know he would never change some points of view, but he never wavered and, from all that I watched, remained respectful and encouraging without backing down.

Charlie Kirk, as we learned, was a champion within the party he believed in. From the President on down the ladder, I have not heard anyone not praise and state the importance of his young presence and beliefs. He had climbed the ladder quickly after dropping out of college by earning respect. His Turning Point journey of investing himself with America’s young people has helped

keep many enrolled at college while educating a future generation.

This is an amazing story with an ending we should have never witnessed. Let alone to have the brutality of his execution be witnessed live and then viewed by anyone interested on the internet. Think about the haunting effect of this on his children.

This takes me back to that vulnerability for individuals to do the most heinous evil acts to their fellow man. This was also witnessed by the Ukrainian woman who lost her life at the hands of a knife-wielding individual in a Charlotte subway car. God rest her soul. Whether it’s planes into buildings, a bullet or knife in the hands of a deranged or determined evil predator, that’s the world we live in. Evil can find a way and a weapon. The internet and technology of today create an opportunity for criminals to learn how and be celebrated for evil. It encourages copycat killers and pure hatred.

Americans must unite and come together in the name of self-preservation of everything that makes our Nation who we are. This disgusting violence cannot continue to be used for political power or viewership, whether it be

the major networks or social media. No one should ever lose their life while using their freedom of speech, no matter their political views. As Americans, we must be smarter and use our common sense to see the truth, rather than letting it be tainted by personal political agendas. We must respect and mourn the tragedy of our fellow men, not share it in the negative manner I’ve watched by some.

Law-abiding American citizens must unite in the name of good to prevent this political division and violence from continuing. This idea of hate over agreeing to disagree must end. There must always be open conversation, honesty, and weighing of the facts available to everyone.

The inability to set aside political differences is dividing families, friends, and, of course, those who serve as elected officials. I’ve written many times that compromise has become a four-letter word. I have no doubt hate is a four-letter word. The big winner over division, whether it be family or country, is any adversary. Can you imagine how our enemies, from China to any lone wolf terrorists, view last week’s violence?

Hopefully, September 10th is viewed in the future as a day that opened Americans’ eyes for the good through unification as the world watches. May God Bless and help our Nation.

From the Editor…

I Just Don’t Know…

“But when people stop talking, really bad stu starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to commit violence against that group. What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have reasonable disagreement where violence is not an option.” ~ Charlie Kirk

Idon’t usually wade into politics here — or even anything close to politics.

As a matter of fact, I generally try to avoid it like the plague in any sort of public forum, but here we are.

If you are celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, you are wrong. Full stop. It’s vile, it’s inhumane, and it says far more about you than it ever could about him.

Charlie Kirk was not a politician. He wasn’t sitting in o ce dra ing bills, passing laws, or shaping policy. He was a commentator. If you didn’t agree with him, you had two simple, decent options: challenge his words at the podium or ignore him altogether. Disagreement never once justi ed violence — and it certainly doesn’t justify murder.

And yet, I’ve heard people try. Every attempt at “justi cation” I’ve seen is nothing

more than polished-up victim-blaming. It reeks of the same tired excuse we’ve all heard too many times: “Well, why was she walking alone at night?” at’s not a reason. at’s cowardice dressed up as explanation — things you would never dream of saying to his family in person.

Speaking of — let’s not lose sight of the real human cost here. His wife didn’t deserve to watch her husband die. His children didn’t deserve to lose their father. His parents didn’t deserve the agony of burying their son.

And those children — they will spend the rest of their lives carrying this trauma, not just in memory, but in the brutal permanence of the internet. At any moment, an algorithm could shove a video of their father’s murder in front of them. Imagine living with that constant shadow — logging into social media, never knowing if today will be the day you’re blindsided by the worst moment of your life replayed on a loop.

at isn’t politics. at’s cruelty. And anyone who applauds it is complicit in that cruelty.

Since the world feels like it’s run by a committee of cranky toddlers. Let’s talk about how you can still sneak a little sunshine into your day without moving to a tropical island (though, honestly, not the worst idea).

Open the blinds. Revolutionary, I know. But it turns out the sun is still up there doing its thing, even if your mood says otherwise. Natural light is free therapy — no co-pay required.

Play your happy playlist. Crank up that one song you can’t help but dance to (you know the one). Bonus points if you dance badly enough to make your pets question your sanity.

Snack like it’s summer. Watermelon, popsicles, lemonade — anything that tastes like a picnic. Pretend you’re at the beach instead of hunched over your laptop Googling “Why is life like this?”

Text your funniest friend. Nothing breaks through the gloom like a meme from the person who just gets your sense of humor. Sunshine in screenshot form. Do something kind. Pay for the co ee of the person behind you, hold the door, or just tell someone their shirt is cool. Spreading light has a way of bouncing right back to you.

So when life feels like one long Monday, remember: sunshine isn’t only about the weather. Sometimes, it’s about choosing to laugh, eat popsicles, and dance in your kitchen like a fool. And honestly? at’s better than a forecast app any day.

Susquehanna Film Festival Takes Place This Weekend

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

or the second time in two months, area lm a cionados will have the opportunity to view lms from gi ed lmmakers. In this case, the lmmakers will be from throughout Pennsylvania and the local area. e Susquehanna Film Festival will take place this weekend, September 19-21, at the District Cinema Complex in the area formerly occupied by the Lycoming Mall.

e Festival will feature lms from 21 Pennsylvania-based directors.

“We’re thrilled to host the inaugural Susquehanna Film Festival at e District Cinema at Lycoming Valley. With lmmakers from across the tri-state area joining local talent to showcase their work, we hope this Festival sparks new connections and helps foster a lasting passion for lm in our community for many years to come,” said Jordan Musheno, general manager at e District Cinema at Lycoming Valley.

e Festival is the brainchild of former Williamsport resident and lmmaker, Timothy Yasui, who now resides in California.

Webb Weekly asked Yasui some questions about the Susquehanna Film Festival and his vision for it.

How does it feel to be putting on a lm festival in your hometown?

“It’s honestly been a goal of mine for years

now, and it’s a lot more work than booking a single feature lm into theaters like I normally am involved in. Also, orchestrating a 3-day event from 3,000 miles away from my home in Beverly Hills, California, with the time zone di erences poses other unique challenges. is has been a 2-year campaign to build my Festival plan, secure theater partners, acquire lms from around the world, and put together a theatrical screening schedule that incorporates 33 lms from around the world on three screens in 3 days!”

What e ect do you think this Festival will have on encouraging area lmmakers to expand and exhibit their work?

“As long as folks actually show up and buy tickets to attend the Susquehanna Film Festival in person so that the area lmmakers can see folks enjoying their art on the big screen, then I’m hoping it will have a positive e ect! Conversely, if the Festival doesn’t draw folks and we play lms to empty seats, then I can appreciate the frustration of working so hard on a feature lm only to see an empty theater (Been there, done that!).”

What do you hope to accomplish through this lm festival?

“To encourage residents to get o their comfortable couches at home, get in their cars, buy tickets, and drive to the District Cinema to see lms the way they were meant to be seen — on a giant screen with 5.1 surround sound amongst a live theater

audience. Because of technology, Americans have had their theater experiences “dummied down” to 14-inch laptop screens in tiny 2.0 stereo audio. I get it — convenience dictates how we find entertainment — but if we can convince a family or a young couple or the next generation to give the Theater experience a try, then we can bring back this experience to a new generation, similar to how we brought back the vinyl record experience.”

What would you like the public to take from this Festival?

“How much fun it is to go see a movie at a real movie theater and to appreciate how many Pennsylvania-based filmmakers are struggling out there to make their art and to have their art appreciated by the public. The following is the list of Pennsylvania films screening at SFF, along with synopses.

“Ubiquitous” is a short student film by Grace Drury from Honeybrook, PA, that tells the story of an up-and-coming filmmaker suffering from borderline personality disorder who spirals into an obsession to win best picture.

“The Happiness Experiment” is a deeply personal documentary dealing with one man’s mission to spread joy and healing in the face of his own unimaginable loss. Director Jaccii Farris is from Reading, PA.

“The Lost Within” comes from Director Steve Gibson of Milton, PA.

The film delivers a tale of a reporter researching a story about recluses that leads him down a dark path of deceit, longing, and obsession.

“Cast & Crew” is a comedy about a group of friends making their first feature film

directed by Jason Taylor from Upper Darby, PA.

“Gods of Cable City” is directed by Ryan Dellaquila from Quakertown, PA, and tells the story of a reclusive townie who wanders through the dive bars of Mahanoy City, seeking purpose in the forgotten birthplace of cable television.

“Torments,” directed by Jeffrey Harvey and Jesse Kalavoda of Bethlehem, PA, is a drama about a woman who possesses supernatural abilities to alleviate people’s torments but then must bear those burdens herself.

“Ava” is a drama based on real-life events about a teen dealing with the tragic, unexpected death of her best friend. Director Martin McGowan hails from Reading, PA.

“Living in the Story” is directed by Williamsport’s Lynn Estomin. The gorgeous film documents 35 years of art-making by Japanese-American photographer Patrick Nagatani.

“Old River” is a breathtaking scenic journey down 228 miles of the Susquehanna River, as documented by Williamsport Director

Michael Kinney.

“My Puppeteer’s Life Journey: A Daniel Story” is directed by Daniel Temons, a resident of Williamsport, and is a personal story about his challenges with autism and his journey as a puppeteer, with help coming from friends and family.

Philadelphia, PA’s Simon Stockdale delivers his sophomore film, “What Really Happened,” which tells the tale of filmmakers setting out to interview real people about their true life stories, when they realize that

t was a stark contrast: in a county where corn towers overhead and apple orchards stretch as far as the eye can see, Emily Camerer’s message at the ursday morning commissioners’ meeting was a chilling reminder of the stark reality.

Emily Camerer of the Central PA Food Bank addressed o cials and residents to celebrate the county’s proclamation with “Hunger Action Month”. Her presentation revealed the complex web of need that extends far beyond what many community members might imagine exists in their own backyard.

e Central Pennsylvania Food Bank operates across an impressive geographic footprint, serving 27 counties that stretch from the New York border down to Maryland. is vast territory encompasses diverse communities, from bustling suburban areas to remote rural townships, each facing unique challenges in addressing food insecurity among its residents.

Camerer painted a sobering picture of the current situation facing food distribution e orts throughout the region. e ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Pennsylvania state budget has created signi cant delays in funding that organizations like the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank depend upon to maintain their operations. ese delays

translate directly into reduced capacity to serve families who rely on food assistance programs to make ends meet.

e geographic scope of the food bank’s mission reveals both the widespread nature of hunger and the logistical challenges involved in addressing it e ectively. Covering territory that spans from border to border within Pennsylvania requires sophisticated coordination and substantial resources to ensure that food reaches communities regardless of their location or size.

Perhaps more troubling than the funding challenges are the social and political barriers that sometimes prevent e ective food distribution. Camerer noted that certain Pennsylvania counties have resisted allowing the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank to operate within their boundaries, driven

by concerns that accepting such services might make their county “look needy” to outsiders. This perception-based resistance creates gaps in coverage that leave vulnerable residents without access to crucial resources.

The meeting would encounter a comment on the video stream expressing concern about illegal immigrants consuming food intended for residents. This misguided sentiment prompted reflection on how hunger becomes politicized when it should remain a purely humanitarian concern.

The reality of hunger transcends political boundaries and immigration status. To suggest that certain groups are less deserving of basic nutrition is as absurd as claiming that left-handed people are somehow consuming more than their fair share of community resources. Hunger affects children, elderly residents, working families, and individuals from every conceivable background and circumstance.

Residents play a crucial role in making an immediate difference through simple acts of generosity. Purchasing an extra jar of peanut butter during routine grocery shopping and donating it to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank represents the kind of small gesture that, when combined with others, creates a substantial impact. Peanut butter provides protein-rich nutrition that stores well and appeals to recipients of all ages.

Food banks operate most effectively when

communities embrace consistent, ongoing support rather than relying solely on holiday-season surges in donations. This yearround giving ensures that organizations can plan effectively and maintain adequate inventory to serve those who depend on their ser vices. It’s a responsibility we all share in our community, and our commitment to this cause is crucial for its success.

The challenge facing Lycoming County and the broader Central Pennsylvania region demands sustained commitment from individuals, businesses, and government entities working together. Food insecurity affects neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and community members who may struggle silently with circumstances that others cannot easily detect. It’s a challenge that needs our ongoing attention and support, and we all have a role to play in addressing it. Contact the Central PA Food Bank of Williamsport at (570) 321-8023 to volunteer or to seek help.

The September proclamation of Hunger Action Month serves as both recognition of ongoing challenges and a call to action for meaningful community response. In a county blessed with agricultural abundance, ensuring that every resident has access to basic nutrition represents not just charity, but community. As the Beatles sang, ‘And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.’ Let’s make sure we’re all taking and making enough love to address this issue.

Take Care of You

The last few years, I’ve really focused on the importance of taking care of myself — both physically and mentally. At some point, you hit a certain age where you realize — you can’t just do whatever you want anymore. (Does admitting that make me sound old? Probably.)

is isn’t about being sel sh; it’s about showing up for the people you love and being the best version of yourself.

When you’re younger, you feel invincible. You can eat whatever, stay up late, skip workouts, and wake up the next day like nothing happened. But eventually, it catches up to you. Over the past few years, I’ve learned just how much ignoring your health — both physical and mental — can a ect every area of your life.

I remember being at Disney with my wife, and she wanted to walk everywhere. I felt exhausted, out of breath, and thought, Man, I don’t want to hold her back. I also thought about the future — with kids, I want to be

able to run all over, chasing them, and bend down to scoop them up without struggling. Moments like that really hit you.

It can feel overwhelming to start, but trust me — I’ve been there. e key is to start small and take it one day at a time. Don’t jump into some “Superman workout” that leaves you barely able to walk, and don’t try to cut out every carb on the planet. at’s a fast track to burnout and frustration.

Instead, make simple, realistic changes:

Hit the gym a few days a week and build a routine.

If the gym isn’t your thing, go for a walk or a hike. Just moving your body a few times a week will make a di erence.

Once you’ve got that rhythm, pair it with better food choices. Swap high-calorie foods for lower-calorie options, or nd healthier versions of your favorites. Trust me — it’s 2025;

See TAKE CARE on Page 18

TAKE CARE

nearly every craving has a better alternative. (My favorite is Legendary protein brownies. ank me later.)

Physical health is only half the battle. Mental health matters just as much, if not even more. But the same rule applies small, consistent habits, not monumental changes.

Set boundaries. Protect your time and energy. It’s not sel sh; it’s necessary.

Small, consistent steps in both your physical and mental health add up over time. When your mind is right, everything else feels lighter, easier, and more manageable.

I remember being at a wedding for a friend and realizing I couldn’t focus mentally. I thought I need to get my mental stu right so I can really be here and celebrate them. at moment reminded me how important it is to prioritize your mental health.

Start simple:

Talk to someone you trust. For me, it’s my dad. Just voicing your thoughts can make them feel not as heavy. Having someone to consistently talk to is HUGE.

Try journaling or keeping a prayer journal. I thought it was strange at rst, but it’s become a small daily reset that helps me connect with God. Create little resets in your life: read, sh, golf (makes me mad), take a quiet drive, or walk the dog — anything that clears your head.

Take care of yourself. Focus on becoming the best version of you so you can be fully present for the people you love. at’s my motivation every day: to grow stronger, healthier, and more present for the people who matter most. Get 1% better every day. My one buddy told me a good quote. “What is the best way to eat an elephant? One bite at a time”. I guess that’s a funny choice of a quote when trying to promote healthy eating, but hey, I bet there is a lot of protein! Have a great week.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. erefore, honor God with your bodies.” ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Williamsport Sun September 19, 1933

Dr. John W. Long Makes Radio Appeal to Small Depositors to Aid Drive

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Dr. John W. Long, president of Dickinson Seminary spoke over WRAK last evening at 7:30 o’clock to deliver the following appeal, especially to small depositors on behalf of the reorganization of the Lycoming Trust Company.

“Citizens of Williamsport: Williamsport’s restricted banks are going to open for business as usual, just when the citizens ‘give the ‘Lawd’ a break’ by doing their part to make such reopening possible.”

“The First National Bank of this city has raised the money set by government agencies as the price of its reopening.”

“The Lycoming Trust is in the midst of a similar campaign. At the last report at yesterday noon, the sale of approximately 6,000 shares of common stock out of an issue of approximately 6,000

shares of common stock, out of an issue of 22,500 shares was all that stood between this institution and the successful completion of the principal task placed upon it by state and federal banking authorities.”

“The job is almost done you say. This is where you are wrong. The most difficult part of the task that now confronts the 300 workers who have been giving freely of their time and effort the past week to reestablish this bank on a sound basis.”

“The cream has been skimmed form the top in the present campaign. The workers now realize---and the public of this city, particularly the thousands of small depositors in Lycoming must be made to grasp this important point, that the remaining 6,000 shares come from small subscriptions of one to ten units from what we term the small depositors in this restricted bank.”

Andrea’s Home Cookin’…

Love Instead of Hate

Idon’t typically get into politics or things that can bring a person down. It’s not my thing. My things are bringing you good recipes, heartfelt stories, the love of Jesus, funny family shares, holiday greetings, and giving people a reason to smile.

I love to share joy because this world we live in can be so darn depressing if you really sit and think about it or watch the news. If I can bring five minutes of happiness to someone each week, this makes me so happy. For those five minutes of reading, you aren’t thinking about anything else. I hope it takes you to a safe place and brings you warmth as you read it. You never know each week what this crazy girl is going to write about! (Always have to keep you folks on your toes, haha!)

heavy. It made my heart sad to think about what these people’s families were going through. Now, I did not know who Charlie was or what he stood for. None of that matters. No one should ever be killed for their beliefs. No one should ever be killed for the color of their skin or anything else, for that matter. It makes me sick. Why is our world filled with so much hate and evil? How can someone just take a person’s life, and it just seems so normal to hear it on the news anymore?

But guys, today my heart hurts. Not only is today 9/11, but yesterday, as the whole world knows, Charlie Kirk was killed. A few days before this, a Ukrainian woman was killed on a train. Both of these people died a meaningless death. They had families. They had a life worth living.

I woke up feeling like the world was so

You can be scrolling through Facebook, looking at a cute puppy or a baby getting a hearing aid, and hearing his mother’s voice for the first time. Next, you watch a cooking video, and then some lady falls off a dock into a lake, and you start cracking up because it reminds you of yourself. Then suddenly, BAM, there’s a video of someone being stabbed or shot!? How can this be? Why is this becoming so normal to us? It’s not right. None of this is right. People’s deaths are not entertainment. The world we live in feels so twisted and dark.

and posted to the internet in the blink of an eye. We have to worry about our children’s safety at school. Being in a dark parking lot at night and leaving the keys in our cars. Worry about saying something wrong to anyone on account of them killing you because they are just plain crazy. I mean, that Ukrainian girl didn’t even say or do anything!? My mind is spinning. My heart is hurting (more than normal). This just isn’t right. Why do we have to live in such a cruel world where we are feeling so divided? Afraid to say what our religion is. Afraid to talk about politics. Afraid to say something because everyone is so damn sensitive anymore!

Can’t we please be kinder? Can we spread love instead of hate?

I had a woman a few days ago, now I don’t remember where I was, but I was walking into a store, and we both smiled at each other. As I smiled at her, her smile got even bigger. You would have thought we knew each other. But because she smiled bigger, it made me smile again. We didn’t know each other, but just a simple smile and a kind face made my day a little brighter. We never know what someone is going through. How a simple act like a smile can lift someone.

Master and Commander: Learning from Patrick O’Brian

Etopgallant (usually rendered t’gallant) — and my favorite: xebec

ven though summer has sailed into the sunset, your local word-Smith still has boating on the brain. It all started weeks ago, when Webb’s Weird Words chose to honor sailing season — along with this summer’s 50th anniversary of Jaws — by looking at vocab related to watercra .

With Labor Day now behind us that means it’s time to get ready for

A er no less than three articles on such terms as keel, killick and coxswain, I put my newfound expertise to the test by reading one of Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin novels. Set in the British navy during the Napoleonic Wars, these books were long overdue for me, as O’Brian’s 21-title saga is widely considered the nest series of historical novels ever written.

So I’ve just nished the rst entry — Master and Commander, originally published in 1969. And while I loved every page, I noted more than a dozen additional sailing terms that didn’t make my earlier articles: brail, chesstree, gregale, grego, lateen, polacre, puddening, roband, strake, tompion,

And on top of that, Master pro ered over 20 other oddball terms largely unrelated to sailing: ablation, castoreum, demulcent, grallatorial, hemidemisemiquaver, holothurian, lycosid, phantasmata, poteen, rencounter, roborative, sempiternal, senna, shoneen, squill, tramontana, tumefaction and vaticinate.

I know I’m on the right track here, as my Microso program just red-lined seven of these — meaning it doesn’t recognize them as actual words!

However — while summer has indeed sailed over the horizon — I happen to be on vacation these rst two weeks of September; and for de nitions, I’d rather not dig into all these terms without my handy collection of dictionaries. (In other words, I don’t wish to rely solely on the internet.) So while I’m waiting to be reunit-

WORDS

ed with my bookshelves — which is frankly not too tough from Moab, Sedona and the Grand Canyon — let me take a few paragraphs to sing the praises of O’Brian and his rst installment.

While there is indeed a focus on wartime sailing, the books are beloved even by non-boaters — because of their wide-ranging subject matter. Yes, the battles are action-packed and bracingly authentic — but the works are grounded in the companionable

friendship of Capt. Jack Aubrey and ship’s surgeon Stephen Maturin. e two are so di erent that one might compare their deep-seated bond with that of Holmes and Watson — or perhaps Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock.

Both Aubrey and Maturin are music-lovers — so the novels also cover that topic, along with vivid expertise on 19th-century medical practice. It likewise happens that Maturin has an ongoing fascination with the natural world, so the tales are leavened

with a good deal of this, too; in the tenth book, for instance, Aubrey’s ship makes a pre-Darwin visit to the Galapagos islands.

Film fans might recall that episode from the sensational 2003 movie Master and Commander. Starring Russell Crowe as Aubrey and Paul Bettany as Maturin, that gem shares its subtitle — e Far Side of the World — with O’Brian’s 10thnovel, though it’s not based strictly on either of the books. Unhappily, while Crowe and Bettany are perfectly cast, this costly movie — directed by the talented Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) — did

not make enough money to justify further adaptations from the series.

O’Brian also covers geography, conscience, old-time food & drink, childbirth, history, a airs of the heart (largely because Aubrey is a shameless womanizer) and even the sort of falsely polite dialog, loaded with underhanded snubs and power-plays, that one nds in Jane Austen — who wrote, incidentally, in the same era.

So there’s something here for just about everyone — if you can adjust to the complex terminology.

And if not: Wait a week or two, and I’ll unpack some of it.

Personal Style

er a recent closet clean-out and a mid40s birthday, I’ve begun to consider how my personal style has changed in the last decade, a er getting older, having kids, dealing with illness, and being drawn in and out of ever-changing trends. Here lately too o en I’ve been standing in front of my closets full of clothes and thinking I have nothing to wear. We’ve all been there, I’m sure. e truth is that I have too much to wear, we all have too many clothes, right? e real problem is that I no longer know my options that will re ect my true style. Does that mean I throw everything out and go on a shopping spree? As much as I’d like to say “yes,” the fact is that signature style, at my age, isn’t something you can nd in a store. Personal style is already living conspicuously in my closet, woven by the pieces that are most loved, most worn, and I feel my best wearing. Let’s explore how to uncover true personal style from what’s already hanging in the closet.

Bernadette Ulsamer

Personal style is o en miscategorized as aspirational when, in fact, it’s quite practical. It’s about nding what works best on and for you, regardless of trends or fads. With that in mind, let’s start with a prac-

tical step: Spend a week observing your clothing choices. Every time you get dressed to leave the house, take note of which items you’re wearing and review at week’s end. Work-fromhome days, housework days, and binge-watching days don’t count. It’s what you wear to go out in the world that should be noted. Your review should ask: What colors or fabrics do you gravitate toward? What items, or types of garments, showed up more than once? What pieces and looks made you feel the most presentable, comfortable, and authentically you? is mini audit will give you clarity on what already works. Next, a less practical but fun step: Give your style a name. is may seem silly, but a name/title helps you lter out the pieces that don’t mesh with your named style. Some name ideas would be So Rebel— feminine with a bit of edge. Coastal Classic—timeless neutrals in laid-back linen. Boho Romantic— owing silhouettes in rustic patterns. Or pick a style icon that speaks to you. My personal style is named Diane, a er Diane Keaton; think trousers, button-downs, stripes, etc. Don’t overthink it, your name doesn’t need to be bulletproof, just one that feels like you. A er you have your style title, then look

to creating go-to outfit formulas. This takes some of the guesswork out of getting dressed. For example, with Diane in tow, I’m going to plan for a pull-on pant, graphic tee, cardigan, and sneakers for casual days. For work, high-waisted trouser, plain t-shirt, blazer, and loafers. Sure, there would be additional accessories and some slight changeups, but as long as you have your formula, you can plan looks even with slight variations. And don’t think you have to limit yourself to one formula. You can have templates based on your lifestyle. Saturdays could be jeans, a tee, a sweater, then Sunday is a midi skirt, a blouse, and ballet flats—Mon-Thurs button-up, skirt, boots. Come Friday for an evening out, jumpsuit, heels, and statement earrings. No matter your formula or template, everything should flatter your body, make you feel confident, and fairly comfortable while suiting your daily life. We’ve done the audit, we’ve named our style, we’ve equated some formulas, now it’s time to edit your closet. Pieces that don’t fit into your normal wear, formulas, or style label need to go. This includes the “guilt pieces.” What’s a guilty piece? That dress you bought on sale but never wore. Or the old dress that you might, maybe, fit into again? Trendy items that are more embarrassing now than fashionable? These types of pieces add clutter to your wardrobe and block the actual garments that will best serve you. Donate or give away, if you have the time and patience, try to sell on a secondhand site or at a

consignment shop. Carving out your personal style requires being honest about what works now for your current body, life, and energy. There’s no failure or waste in letting go; instead, it’s about making space and gaining clarity.

Moving forward, when you’re out in the wild or online and finding yourself in need of some outfit inspiration, it’s fine to save a look on Pinterest or be drawn to a celebrity’s style, but steer clear of copying or buying items that match that look. Instead, identify what appeals to you in an inspo pic, or what someone stylish is wearing. Is it the color combination that you’re drawn to, or is it the particular silhouette? Is it how they’ve layered a turtleneck under a dress or how the scarf is tied? Once you pinpoint what attracts you to a look, then reinterpret it using pieces you already own. This is another way of truly building your personal style, that will ideally evolve with you.

Speaking of evolution, once you find your personal style, it doesn’t have to stay set in stone forever. Style shifts with our age, bodies, attitudes, and milestones. Give yourself permission to explore, refine, and adapt your personal style as different needs or seasons come up. The point of personal style is to change your closet from a place filled with random pieces bought in a rush or under pressure into a toolbox with items that work and support your lifestyle, your confidence, your mood, and help you express who you are and who you may yet become.

Choose Play Every Day

Play

a

spoken by people of all ages. Through play, children learn to forge connections with others, build a wide range of leadership skills, develop

conquer fears and navigate relationships and social challenges.

For babies and toddlers, play is about far more than just having fun; it’s about learning and building import-

ant skills, from cognitive and physical to emotional and social abilities. As children get older, play helps reduce stress levels, process difficult emotions, promote problem-solving and build confidence - skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Despite its importance, play is often undervalued and overlooked due to busy schedules, lack of resources or misconceptions about its benefits. Ap-

proximately 4 in 10 children ages 2-4 do not get enough responsive interaction or stimulation at home, based on estimates from UNICEF, and roughly 1 in 8 children under age 5 don’t have toys or playthings at home.

To overcome these barriers, it’s essential for parents and caregivers to recognize the value of both structured and unstructured play. Simple, everyday items - like kitchen utensils, cardboard boxes, leaves and stones - can be tools for imaginative play. Setting aside dedicated time for play, even in short intervals, can make a difference. In honor of International Day of Play, consider these ideas to turn everyday

activities into playful learning opportunities from UNICEF, which recognizes play as an important means to help children by providing access to evidence-based parenting programs and working with governments to prioritize play-based teaching and learning practices in schools and other learning environments.

– Turn a grocery shopping trip into a scavenger hunt to teach kids about different foods, counting and categorization.

– Role play or act out different scenarios you read in books or see in movies to help develop social skills and emotional understanding.

The statewide archery antlered and antlerless deer season will begin this year on Saturday, October 4, and as the season progresses and nears that “magical” time of the rut, bowhunters will be spending an increasing amount of time in the woods. While hunting from the ground or in a ground blind can be successful, most archery hunters would agree that a tree stand places the hunter in a much more advantageous position. Many of the tree stands have already been put into place, but some might be relocated based on deer movement, or additional ones might be installed. With the all-too-often reports of tree stand accidents and incidents, it may be a good time to consider incorporating some safe practices when installing or using these potentially hazardous devices.

Ladder stands and climber stands have undergone significant evolution since their initial models, and today, there are dozens of models and options available. The key here is to NOT skimp and not try to buy the cheapest ones available. This is truly where an investment of a few more dollars will pay off in the long run. A higher-priced stand will generally be of greater quality with heavier material used in its construction.

Most hunters will agree that the location of a stand is critical. You can’t just erect

a stand “somewhere” in the woods and expect a great deal of deer movement around you – even during the most active times of the rut. Thus, pinpointing a spot where two or more active trails from bedding to feeding areas intersect should be a great location, or at the edge of a food plot where a well-used trail leads into it, will also serve as a good spot to position a stand. From a safety standpoint, a primary consideration needs to be the selection of the exact tree you plan to use. It needs to be large enough in diameter, and it needs to be as straight as possible. A tree with a larger diameter will help break up the outline of a hunter, and, more importantly, will provide a much steadier platform for a tree stand. The straighter the tree, the more easily and safely it can be climbed with a climber stand or attached to with a ladder stand. Erecting a ladder stand or prepping an area you have selected for a climber stand is a two-man job. Particularly when placing a ladder stand, it is even smarter to have three people available for performing the task. For safety’s sake, this is simply something that should not be attempted by one person. It is not a matter of how strong you think you are - it is a matter of how smart you should be! Think safety and use common sense!

Ladder stands can vary in height, generally ranging from 15 to 20 feet from the ground to the platform, with the seat being a

comfortable height above the platform. The taller stand may require a larger tree to provide a strong enough base for attaching the stand. With a quality, heavier-duty stand, the weight can easily run around 100 pounds, and therefore, when you begin to pivot the stand upward toward the tree, there is a great deal of torque involved –thus the need for two or three people to erect it safely. Once the stand is up and safely secured to the tree, having more than one person involved will allow the clearing out of shooting lanes to be a much smoother operation as well. The hunter can remain in the stand and point out the limbs that need to be removed, rather than make numerous trips up and down the stand to clear the paths if he were by himself.

Climber stands are a horse of another

color. Although they will be used by just one person, a second individual nearby is a smart idea during initial preparation. There may be limbs to clear on the actual tree you will use for the stand, as well as side branches from other trees that may need to be trimmed for shooting lanes. During this trimming process, there may be some stretching out beyond a comfortable level that needs to be done, and having a second individual standing by is a smart idea. Climber stands are simply not for everyone. It is important to recognize and respect your individual limitations and your comfort level. If you are not at ease prepping for or using a climber stand, the ladder stand is what you need to use for your hunting. Again, think safety and use common sense.

Iknow that various hunting seasons are already underway, and additional opportunities will soon begin. I’m getting anxious, too, but as a dedicated fisherman, I’m also very aware that some of our best fishing opportunities are also upon us. One of my favorite fall pursuits over the years has been spending time on the Susquehanna River or on several of our large streams, attempting to persuade smallmouth bass to take my offerings. Earlier this summer, due to heavy rains and high water levels at times, fishing in the river was a bit of a challenge. However, now we are facing the opposite scenario: very low, clear water. Launching your boat in the river now may be OK in some of the deeper stretches, but I suspect the very low conditions will limit where most boats can seek out smallmouths.

Ken Hunter

Certainly, if you have a boat and you are comfortable using it under these low water conditions, you should go for it, but for many who don’t have a boat now, it may also be a good time to get out on the water after those smallmouth bass. When I first moved to this area back in the 70s, I didn’t own a boat, but I desperately wanted to fish the river for smallmouth bass. It so happens that on several

occasions back then, we experienced some of those low river flows, and it didn’t take much persuasion for me to wade out waist-deep with my spinning rod in hand. Shorts and a pair of old sneakers, and I was waist deep, pitching a minnow-type lure in pockets below rock obstructions, hooking into a pretty good number of bass. Once I got a boat, most of my river fishing was from it, but to be honest, there are some great smallmouth fishing locations on the river that cannot be worked very successfully from a boat, and that’s where wading takes priority. During these low-water periods, stretches with moderate flow and some good-sized rock structures can be quite productive. The faster-moving water and rock cover help create good cover and better oxygen levels, sometimes a good location for smallmouths. These locations can make fishing from a boat very trying, but some simple wading can be very productive. On several occasions, I’ve taken advantage of such situations and put my flyrod to use. I had some very exciting and productive fishing trips with that flyrod and a small white popper at the business end. Working that popper through that flowing water behind a rock boulder has

resulted in some smashing hits with the bass coming clear out of the water on the take.

By the way, don’t limit your smallmouth bass fishing to the river since many of our larger streams can also produce some great smallmouth action, and most likely, wading is the way to go, especially under these low water conditions. Streams like Pine Creek, Lycoming Creek, and Loyalsock Creek, especially in the lower sections before dumping into the river, can produce some great fishing action. If you are not into wading, then you might try a kayak, canoe, or even one of those belly-boat inner tubes.

In addition to smallmouth fishing, there is still some good trout fishing to be had

as well, even though the water levels in our streams are quite low and clear right now. Granted, wading will have to be done very carefully; not because of the high and dangerous water conditions, but the opposite, very low, clear water levels that require careful wading to avoid spooking very wary trout. I prefer a light-tackle approach — a small stream fly rod and some size 16 or 18 dry flies, such as a blue-winged olive, deer-hair caddis, or a good old Adams. Now is also a good time to tie on some terrestrials, like an ant or beetle pattern. Don’t let the low, clear water or the fact that you don’t have a boat stop you from fishing; get out there and catch some smallmouth bass or trout.

As Penn State’s new wide receiver Trebor Pena hauled in one of his seven pass receptions from QB Drew Allar in the Nittany Lions opening day 46-11 win over Nevada, the TV talking head remarked, “Trebor had a great season at Syracuse last year (84, catches, 941 yards, 9 TDs) but they couldn’t afford him anymore.”

Penn State fans cheered, and the cash register went ‘cha-ching.’ It remains to be seen how many catches or TDs Pena will contribute this year to PSU’s drive for a national championship, but they won’t be coming cheap. The Pena/Allar combo is definitely living in the ‘high-rent district.’ Pena left Syracuse after the Orange failed to meet his $2 million asking price (it’s unknown how much Pena is making in Happy Valley), while Allar is “reportedly making” at least $3 million to throw him the ball.

The college professional football scene has changed. The rich are shelling out big bucks to allure talent. The not-so-rich are scurrying for the crumbs left under the table.

While none of this money-madness directly affects the D-III level, Lycoming College athletic director and head football

Scott Lowery

coach Mike Clark took the time to share his thoughts with Webb Weekly

“I’m a little bit old school on this one. It is a drastically different world. Fifteen to twenty years ago, colleges were making incredible amounts of money off student-athletes. Then Ed O’Bannon led the charge to help athletes receive some of that income. I think it shows you how much money is out there. It is a rapidly evolving world, and there will continue to be changes.

“But for traditionalists, I think there are a lot of emotions that, as a fan, you experience. Players are on new teams every year, but at the end of the day, it is a business. It always has been, and if the schools are making that much money, maybe the players do deserve a percentage. But it has completely done a 180 in the past few years, and I think more work needs to be done on the issue.” WW: Do you think there will be a ‘trickle down’ effect where talented players, perhaps not good enough to get paid, will choose to play at DII or DIII schools?

“Players are still getting full scholarships at the Division I level, and the schools have so much money. As I understand

it, there are Big Ten and SEC kids who are backups making six gures a year. At those high DI levels, those kids are making real money, so I don’t think you’ll see many walking away from that.”

WW: Does this movement at the big schools have any e ect on how you recruit at Lycoming?

“Because of free agency – and that’s what it really is- at the highest level, those kids can change teams every year. As a result of this freedom to move, the big schools are looking more at transfers to ll their roster each year than high school kids. at means there are more talented high school kids who could fall to our level. For us, that could be a good thing.

“ en there are developmental issues. A player could sign with us and ask if we can help them transfer to a scholarship school in a couple of years. at is not ideal for us. We develop the player, and then when he can really help us, he transfers out. In some cases, when younger players have instant success at any level, they are looking to move up and gain a nancial reward. It changes recruitment, but our model hasn’t changed signi cantly. I don’t want to be a JUCO for larger schools.”

WW: Do Lycoming players receive nancial help?

“Like all of our Lycoming College students, it’s all based on nancial need. With the DIII model, our policy is that everyone we admit is going to get some sort of merit-based scholarship. ey all

follow the same process. What additional nancial aid they are eligible for is determined by each family’s nancial situation.

WW: Looking into the future, do you think college football, as it now exists, can survive?

“As much as I hate to say it, I think down the road it could involve into being a few super conferences. e current college football playo s are not NCAA championships. e highest NCAA football championship is the FCS. We all know what the men’s basketball tournament is in terms of revenue. It’s like a billion-dollar thing. If the NCAA doesn’t have that football money from the football playo s, could the colleges do their own thing?

“I think there is a world where the SEC and the Big Ten, and maybe the ACC if it survives, could create their own world. I think in the NCAA settlement from this summer, those conferences are all linked to the settlement for several years. If they were to leave to do their own thing, they would still be on the hook for the money the NCAA is paying for the NIL settlement. at amounts to millions of dollars a year.

“Now, when that agreement expires in a few years, could they do their own thing? I think they could. ose conferences have more money and more resources. I do think there is a world when that possibility could happen.”

The boys and I have been busy. e weather has been outstanding. Ideal conditions for golf. anks to Lycoming College and our friends for their support. We play yearround now. 7 events this fall and 6 in the spring. Our schedule is full. Never a dull moment with these kids. Props to Williamsport Country Club. ey serve as our home course where we hone our skills. We are so blessed to have an amazing facility in the backyard. Our shirts are always tucked, and we wear belts. My man David Coates takes great care of the Warriors. is is my 20th year coaching the squad. Yes. I have been mentoring the Lycoming College Golf Team for quite some time. My second stint a er a brief pause. I was with the team from 2001 to 2016. I stepped away to nd meaning. Midlife crises? Perhaps. I am still searching. But retiring from hoops le me with a major void. Interacting with youngsters, regardless of the sport, is still very important. e opportunity came knocking again. I signed back up, and I am so glad I did.

Coaching Division III golf is the best gig in the world. ere are so many perks. Very few distractions. No drama with these boys, and we have minimal expectations. Our players have no NIL deals, and they come in all shapes and sizes. My guys always graduate. Our parents are outstanding. ey come to many of our events. Yes. We have galleries. ey don’t blame me when a ball

ies into the trees. No experts behind the scenes. You should play zone Coach. at never happens in this sport.

I love all of the guys on my roster. Everyone is so di erent. We have a blast. e van rides are hysterical. 2025 is o to a great start. We are turning some heads. Would I like them to make more putts? Absolutely. But they are great kids. I enjoy the camaraderie. Our interactions are stupendous. We are constantly laughing. Each trip is better than the last. I still enjoy the game, but I play very little. No worries. Golf takes time. I would rather sh. I am no longer solid. But now that I am around the boys, I am starting to get the itch. I played 18 the other day. Say what? Yes. I even carried my bag. My legs still hurt.

Our fall season kicked o this past weekend. e boys and I were in Carlisle, PA, for the Dickinson Fall Invitational. 20 teams. Some of the nest D3 squads in the Mid-Atlantic Region. e Warriors made history and posted some outstanding scores. Our best team total in 52 years. I am not kidding. Freshman Hill Meserve led Lycoming with a 75 on Sunday. Junior Will Eberz carded a 76. Junior Connor Shanahan posted a 78. Freshman Ryan Ault added a 79, and freshman Tre Lesperance tallied an 81. Incredible performance. 308 strokes. We are rock stars. #warriorgolf is trending on campus. We are more popular than Tom Cillo right now. No time to celebrate. e Warriors have two events next week.

Marywood University on Wednesday. Susquehanna ursday. Dylan Seck is the man. We call him Doogie Howser. e senior le y from Sayre, PA, is a beauty. He is focusing more on applying to med schools than chipping. Dylan is wicked smart. He is also EMT certied. When most kids are playing SEGA, Dylan is driving an ambulance. Crazy. He also just got married. Kyle Davis is another senior from Liberty. He looks great and has a fantastic smile. Kyle’s dad and I played some golf when he was just a youngster. What a fantastic lad. We are blessed to have him.

Junior Will Eberz is our captain. He is from Stroudsburg. Will is now a junior, and he has a chance to become Lycoming’s GOAT. Eberz nished in the top 20 at our Conference Tourney as a freshman. He followed it up with a 5th-place nish last year. Incredible. e Landmark is loaded. Will is an exceptional dude. He brings so much to our program. Junior Ross Eyer will join us in the spring. e Muncy, PA native is currently playing football. Ross is great and relatively new. But he has got the bug. Junior Connor Shanahan is one of my favorites. e scrappy 5’8 le y is the starting point guard for Warrior’s Hoops team. Connor has a game, and he red a great round on Sunday. He comes from a terri c family.

Gabe Cendoma is a local. e sophomore played hoops for me at St. John Region-

al. Gabe is another ne-looking lad. He is new to golf and is improving. Tre Lesperance is a player. Don’t let his size fool you. e 5’3 freshman from Chads Ford, PA is solid. Tre will make an immediate impact. Hill Meserve played with Tre at Unionville High. It was a package deal. We are so excited. e 6’2 freshman crushes the ball. He had a great opening weekend as a Warrior. Freshman Ryan Ault is from Jersey Shore, PA. He is a bulldog. Period. Ryan can also play, and he adds some comic relief. e big fella will add depth and already leads the team with three 911 pocket dials. True story.

Fantastic group. e boys and I are looking forward to the fall. We get to play some amazing courses. We are loaded with several #warriorgolf balls. A few might end up in the woods. But with the caliber of newbies, most will nd the fairway too. I hope to build on our existing relationships and make some new. ere is a lot of buzz with our program. It is so cool. Special shout to my guys for keeping me young. Cheers.
