Staying Safe Online: An Update for Kids and Parents
Every couple of years, I find myself feeling the need to update parents on where we are with kids and the online world. Tech changes fast, and kids rotate apps more often than their wardrobe. Keeping up to date can be tough, so I try to help as much as I can.
When most parents were teens, the “group chat” was a three-way phone call that tied up the house line and probably got someone yelled at when a sibling couldn’t get on AOL. Today, the teen communication hub looks more like Snapchat groups, endless DMs, and disappearing messages that seem to vanish faster than a plate of pizza rolls. For teens, group chats are the lifeline. They’re where plans are made, jokes are shared, and friendships are cemented. But as much as these chats can feel like a safe space, they also come with risks — cyberbullying, oversharing, and exposure to strangers (or just kids behaving badly because their brains aren’t fully developed).
So how do we keep teens safe without shutting down their social lives completely? Here are some tips for both teens and parents trying to survive the
group chat era:
For Teens:
OK, OK, I know that I don’t really have a huge teen following here, so parents, maybe just share these with your kid.
Think Before You Post (or Snap).
Screenshots exist. Even if something “disappears” on Snapchat, it can still be saved, shared, or used later. If you wouldn’t want it on a T-shirt in homeroom, maybe don’t hit send. Remember, you may get a notification about a screenshot, but really, there isn’t anything you can do about it once it’s done.
Know Your Group.
Not every invite deserves a “yes.” Be picky about group chats. The more people added, the higher the chance of drama, leaks, or sketchy strangers sneaking in.
Mute, Leave, or Block.
You don’t have to stay in a chat that makes you uncomfortable. Walking away is sometimes the smartest move, and guess what? Your real friends will still be there.
Check Your Privacy Settings. Keep profiles private, location-sharing off (unless you’re using it to check in
Steph Noviello
with your parents), and double-check who can see your stories.
For Parents:
Don’t Spy, Stay Involved.
Teens need space, but they also need guidance and support.
Ask questions like, “Who do you chat with most?” or “What happens if someone is being mean in a group?” Conversations go further than snooping.
Set Expectations Early.
Talk about what’s OK to share and what isn’t—photos, personal info, or gossip. Make it clear: safety comes before popularity.
Know the Apps.
You don’t need to be a Snapchat expert, but at least understand how it works. (Pro tip: have your teen give you the crash course—they’ll love being the teacher for once.) Facebook and Instagram are the easiest ones, and watching videos on TikTok isn’t rocket science, but platforms like Snap and WhatsApp may not be as familiar. Get familiar.
Be the Safe Place.
Let your kids know they won’t be in trouble for telling you if something scary, inappropriate, or uncomfortable happens online. Fear of punishment keeps teens silent — open communication keeps
them safe. I’ll reference back to that notyet-fully-developed brain. Kids aren’t always going to make the best decisions and choices. They need to know that if something goes sideways, you’ll be there to fall back on.
As a side note, this issue extends far beyond the online realm. This goes for the outside world as well. Consequences can be handled later; kids — especially teens — need to know that they can count on you at a moment’s notice if they need help. No matter what is happening, they should have ZERO worry about calling you.
Encourage Offline Balance.
Group chats can be fun, but so can basketball practice, movie nights, and in-person hangouts. Remind your teen that the best memories don’t come with a filter or streak score.
The Bottom Line
The internet isn’t going away, and neither are group chats. The goal isn’t to shut them down but to help teens use them wisely. For parents, that means staying curious, not clueless. For teens, it means remembering that your digital footprint lasts a whole lot longer than a disappearing snap.
Staying safe online is a team effort — and in this group chat, parents and kids really do need to be on the same side. And don’t worry, Jimmy will be back next week, he’s just enjoying an extra-long Labor Day weekend!

Tom Cillo, 58, to Play Football for Lycoming
At an age when most people are thinking about retirement, their grandkids, or even joining AARP, Tom Cillo, 58, of Williamsport, will be putting on pads for the Lycoming Warriors (movie and book deal coming soon).
Currently, there are only three people in football history who were older than Cillo to play the game. Two were kickers, with very little time on the eld, and one, Mike Flynt, took the eld as a linebacker in 2007 to complete his senior year of eligibility. Unfortunately, Flynt was out with an injury for most of that season. Interestingly, Flynt’s story was made into a movie that will premiere one week after Cillo’s debut on the defensive line.
played football in high school, I couldn’t imagine him playing on my team!
So, what on Earth would possess a man a full two generations older than his teammates, and older than most of his coaches, to play a sport as violent as football? “I thought, it’s now or never,” said Cillo.
Full disclosure, Tom and I have been friends since the late 1990s when I moved to the area. We met at the Williamsport YMCA in the weight room, of course, and later trained together for powerli ing competitions. Tom was one of those people whom everyone liked and who always gave things 100%.
his expression that he was giving this serious thought. “OK. I’ll do it,” he said. Now I was both excited and worried. What did I just convince my friend to do?
“ is is crazy. I love it,” I said. And so, it began.
Something worth noting is that Cillo will be the only player from the aforementioned group who will be a true freshman. He will be taking a full course load and will meet the same eligibility requirements as any other freshman, most of whom are 18. is would make him the age of not just their fathers, but grandfathers. I don’t know about you, but as t as my Pap was when I
Like many great stories, this one started over a beer. Tom and I had met for a drink to visit and reminisce, and at some point, the conversation turned a bit serious. “You know,” Tom said to me. “I have some regrets. I regret not going to college and getting a degree. I also wish I played football.”
“Why don’t you?” I asked. “What?”
“Why don’t you? You’re in shape.” Tom looked at me, and I could tell from
Having helped ve kids navigate college admissions, I had a pretty good idea of what needed to be done. Cillo had not even applied to school, and it was already spring, which is late to be just starting the process. He would need to pick some schools, get his transcripts, and ll out college applications. Assuming he would get accepted somewhere, anywhere, a er not having been in high school for over 40 years, most scholarships had already been granted, and nancial aid would be slim. Another thought I had was, would he even make a football team a er having gone through all of the trouble of applying to college? He obviously wasn’t on any coach’s radar, and who would be interested in a 58-year-old?
Cillo was not deterred. His rst move was to reach out to Mark Sitler, another long-time friend and a Lycoming College trustee. A er a moment of apprehension, Sitler spoke to Mike Clark, head coach of the Lycoming Warriors. “I ran into Mark at a trustee dinner, and he mentioned what Tom had in mind,” said Coach Clark. “So, I looked into Tom and

found out about his weight room background and was intrigued. I was willing to give him a chance.”
A few days later, Cillo and Clark met up for coffee to discuss the idea of Cillo playing football. “At that point, I knew he was serious,” said Clark. “I mean, the guy deadlifts 600+ pounds.” When asked what Cillo brought to the team, Clark responded, “Certainly, Tom would be a motivating factor in the weight room, but he also brings a ton of life experience. His positive attitude is infectious. Another thing that really got me, though, was that he did what he needed to do just to get to this point. Just applying to college, getting his transcripts, and going through the entire process is hard at 58.”
Still, staying in shape and being a lifelong sports and fitness enthusiast is a far cry from playing football with young men at their physical peak. There was a lot to consider, and Cillo only had a few months to prepare once he made the decision to make his dream of playing football a reality. Regardless of physical shape, Cillo was not going to recover as fast as his fellow athletes. The repetitive stress on his body, the volume of training, and the mental stress of learning the Lycoming playbook, not to mention taking a full course load after not
having been in class for over 40 years, were all going to add up. Another major stressor, and one that his coaches most likely had never heard from a player before, was that Cillo, along with his siblings, was taking care of his 90-year-old mother.
I was lucky enough to catch Tom on a rare break between practice, conditioning, meetings, and interviews.
Dave: Tom, can you give my readers an idea of what was going through your mind when you and I first discussed the idea of you going to college to get your degree and playing football?
Tom: Well, at first, I thought it was crazy, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought, why not? Life is short, and it’s now or never.
Dave: When people hear that a 58-year-old guy wants to play college football, the first thing they bring up is injury. What’s your response to that?
Tom: Hey, I could get hurt stepping off a curb or get hit by a bus. I can find a million reasons not to do this. That would be easy. The only things I can really control are my preparation and my attitude.
Dave: I know your prep, as I helped design it, but please give my readers an idea of a day in the life of Tom Cillo and what you did to get to this point.

Tom: Well, as we discussed, conditioning would be a factor. Guys in their 50s and 60s don’t usually have the stamina of guys in their 20s, so that was a big part of our training program. Before training camp started, I typically got up at 5:00 a.m. and would eat something light, like a banana and some Greek yogurt. Then, as you know, I would go down to the field at the high school. Warm-up would be either a short run or I would walk the hill at the school, which is straight up. Then I’d do some dynamic stretching and run drills. I’d finish with conditioning, which was usually a lot of sprints, and then some visualization to go over more drills and technique in my mind. After that, I’d take a cold shower to speed recovery and go to work for the maintenance department of the school. Lunch would be more substantial with lots of protein. After work, which was physical, I’d either lift weights or do more conditioning, like run hills. Dinner would be another big meal with protein and vegetables, then I’d take a steam and go to bed, only to do it all over again the next day. Weekend training was pretty much the same, except I’d have a bigger breakfast. Usually, six eggs and some fruit.
Dave: We discussed at length how training and prep would be different for you when compared to an 18- or 20-year-old. Can you explain that?
Tom: What was the term you said? Aggregate of marginal gains? Basically, it means the little things add up. We’d look at everything we could possibly do to train, recover, gain flexibility, and be mentally prepared. I’ve been consistently strength training most of my life, so that wasn’t much of an issue, but football is so much more than just being strong. We knew endurance would be a factor as well as injury prevention, so we spent a lot of time on those things.
Dave: I spoke with Coach Clark, and he was definitely impressed with your strength and conditioning. So, your preseason regimen seemed to pay off. What was something you weren’t prepared for, and what did you do about it?
Tom: Camp was tough, I’m not going to lie. I don’t care how you are or what kind of shape you’re in preseason camp would take it out of you. We only had a few weeks before classes started, so we went for about 14 hours a day, seven days a week. Between specialty meetings, team meetings, drills, lifting, conditioning, and everything else, we were all wiped out.
Dave: OK, some fun questions. As expected, you’ve been interviewed quite a lot in the past couple of weeks. Can you tell us some of the media outlets that reach out to you, and then maybe someone else you would really like

to have interview you that hasn’t yet reached out?
Tom: Well, of course, the Webb Weekly and also the local media like the Sun Gazette and NorthcentralPa.com. I was recently interviewed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, Penn Live, and WNEP, and Fox and Friends wants to set up an interview. As far as dream interviews, I’d definitely say Raider alum, Howie Long, on NFL Sunday. I also think it’d be really cool to be interviewed by Joe Rogan since we’re about the same age.
Dave: There is an obvious age difference between you and your teammates. Was it difficult to connect with them?
Tom: Once they say how hard I worked and how much I prepared for camp, they knew I was serious. Now we’re just teammates. I also have a son, Ryan, who is a professional gamer. When I told the story of how Ryan was recruited by the social media billionaire, Mr. Beast, to compete for $100,000, they were probably more impressed with that than anything I could ever do.
Dave: Speaking of social media, you’ve been posting regular videos on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. What was your motivation to post videos, and have you gotten much of a response?
Tom: I genuinely want to inspire people to follow their dreams, regardless
of their age. I thought, this is sort of historic, why not bring everyone along with me on this crazy ride. The thing I didn’t expect is that I’d be contacted by people from all over the world telling me they were rooting for me. It’s really helped to keep me going when things got tough. One video got over 260,000 views and is still climbing.
As a writer and former athlete, I can’t remember that last time I was this excited about anything. I’m also sure, though she’s too nice to say anything, that my wife will be glad when football season is over, so I stop talking about Tom and this story. Regardless of whether he is an All-American or barely plays, the fact that Tom Cillo took a chance, put in the work, and is going all out for his dream is absolutely inspiring.
If you don’t already, go online and follow Tom on Facebook, Instagram (cillo. tom), and TikTok (night.shift.warrio). Trust me, the videos don’t disappoint and will suck you in faster than anything on reality TV. Also, the Lycoming Warriors will play their first home game on Saturday, September 6th, at the Shangraw Athletics Complex in Williamsport. Take your friends and family and pack the stadium to show your support.
Let’s Go Cillo!

Skateboarding Newest Fad to Roll into Area
Compiled by Lou Hunsinger
Jr.
Give a good push with your free foot, and off you roll — that’s about all there is to this newest fad to move into the area.
It’s skateboarding — a kind of surfboarding on dry land for those who can’t hit the beach — and its lots of fun.
The average board is simply a piece of polished wood about two feet long and 7 1/2 inches wide, supported by professional roller derby wheels and weighing three to four pounds. There are larger sizes.

Quite big in southern California, where the ocean surfing originated, skateboarding may have gotten its local start from 16-year-old Steve Smith, who last year packed his board and moved with his parents from Redwood City, Calif., to Montoursville R.D. 2
Like the yo-yo and the hula hoop before them, skateboards are catching on across the nation — and with Steve’s friends. The Loyalsock High School senior said he knows of a few boards at Lycoming College. South Williamsport youngsters have been using them on Sylvan Drive, and the Williamsport Recreation Commission has designated a spot for skateboarders in Brandon Park.
Steve’s crew helps make them and sells them for $12, which Steve calls the average price. The boys have sold nearly two dozen locally and another dozen in surf shops in Ocean City, N.J.
A local lumber company fashions the white maple boards for the boys, who then mount fore and aft the plastic roller derby wheels.
The boys do their work whenever convenient, often at garage at the residence of Dave Mennem, 17, of 1859 East Third Street.
In business with Steve and Dave are Bill Grimberg, 15, of 1217 Shiffler Avenue, Stan Lundahl, 14, of 2768 Blair Street, and John Crawford, 17, of Montoursville, R.D. 2.
The boys call themselves the Kai Skateboard Company, Kai, said one of the 4 boys, is Hawaiian for sea.

One Million Hours
t birth, you inherit one million hours. It’s how you invest your time that truly counts.”
CI used to say this to me when I was a kid, sitting in his gym during basketball camps. Back then, it was just a phrase — something that sounded wise but didn’t fully sink in. Now, looking back nearly 20 years later, I realize just how right he was. Time flies, and every choice about where — and with whom — we spend it matters more than we think.
schedule that works for us. We’ve set aside certain nights each week that are non-negotiable — evenings dedicated to the people who matter most. Fridays are for friends, Sundays are for her parents, and Mondays are for my parents. It sounds simple, but having that structure brings me so much peace. I know exactly when I’ll get to spend time with the people I care about, and it takes the stress out of constantly “trying to fit it all in.”
One thing I’ve learned in my late twenties is just how important it is to make time for the people you love. Life moves fast, and between work, responsibilities, and everyday stress, it’s easy to go weeks — even months — without truly connecting with family or friends. If we’re not intentional, those moments slip right through our fingers.
And please — don’t fall into the trap of the famous, “Yeah, we really need to get together soon,” only to realize months later that it still hasn’t happened. I’ve been guilty of it too, but I’ve learned you’ve got to make it happen.
For my wife and me, we’ve found a
And here’s a little pro tip: dinner with loved ones often means a meal cooked for you — or, at the very least, loved ones who will take you out to dinner and absolutely refuse to let you pay.
But these nights aren’t just about showing up — or scoring a free meal. They’re about being present. Sharing a meal, laughing together, and just enjoying each other’s company. It’s a reminder that life isn’t just about work, paying bills, or checking boxes. It’s about relationships, memories, and the moments that truly matter.
And yes, this also means putting the phones down. I’ll be the first to admit

I’m terrible at this, but every time I catch myself scrolling, I end up feeling guilty. I always think, “Man, I wish I’d been more present.”
I know everyone’s schedule looks different, and carving out time can feel impossible sometimes. But even small rituals can make a huge di erence:
A quick phone call — I have some friends and family I check in with weekly. My Godfather, Steve Sleboda, is especially great at this. We’ll chat, catch up, and it always ends with an “I love you.” A small gesture on his part, but it means the world to me.
A walk with a friend — For Lauren and me, this o en includes our fourlegged son, Buck. (Yes, your furry friends need love too — they’re family.) And if you and a friend both exercise — combine the two: get moving together. at’s the classic “two birds, one stone” trick.
A weekly dinner — We all eat, so why not make it intentional? Use that time to connect. If you come from an Italian family, you know that some of the best decisions are made over food. For us, our family spot for special occasions is e Villa — no place better for good food and great conversations. And one last thing — don’t forget to
make time just for your signi cant other. Have fun with it! Go on date nights, plan something spontaneous, or carve out a quiet moment just for the two of you. Folding laundry together does not count as quality time — right, Lauren?
At the end of the day, it’s not about how much time you have; it’s about what you do with it. Be intentional, stay connected, and cherish the people who matter most.
ese days, I o en catch myself reecting during those special moments with family and friends — sitting there, looking around, and just feeling grateful. We’re so lucky to share these relationships and create memories with the people who matter most.
at’s all I have for this week. I hope this inspires you to reach out to a friend or family member, make a plan, and spend some time together. Life moves fast, but these are the moments that truly last.
Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another — and all the more as you see the day approaching.
County Hall Corner: The Journey Home For Little League Teams
By Blair Steward
very August, Lycoming County plays host to one of the most remarkable international sporting events in the world. More than 400,000 fans from all corners of the globe pour through the gates of Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium during the Little League World Series, giving the Susquehanna Valley a unique role that no other community can claim.
e games bring unforgettable drama, yet what follows a er the nal out is a different kind of achievement. Little League International must send its international guests home, and that process is nearly as impressive as the Series itself.
e 2025 tournament included 10 international squads. Some came from North America, like Vancouver and Puerto Rico. Others traveled half a world to reach Williamsport, including teams from Tokyo, Taipei, and Brisbane. Others represented Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. In total, nearly 200 international players, coaches, and o cials needed to return safely to their communities, a journey spanning thousands of miles and as many as 12 di erent time zones.
e most obvious hurdle is geography. Williamsport Regional Airport is not equipped to handle international tra c.
at means every team is rst loaded onto full-size buses and sent to larger airports. Harrisburg International, just under 90 miles south, receives several departures. Philadelphia International, 175 miles away, is another frequent choice. Some groups are routed even farther east to New York’s JFK or south to Washington Dulles, depending on airline agreements. A coach bus holds about 50 passengers, so at least a dozen trips are required to transport every traveler out of Lycoming County safely.
Timing is another challenge. Teams exit the Series on di erent days. Some eliminated early are gone while the tournament is still underway. Others remain right up until the championship game. at staggered timing keeps sta busy for more than a week, arranging meals, loading lug-

gage, and ensuring passports are checked. For children aged 11 or 12, navigating customs and airline counters can be intimidating. Little League International assigns staff and volunteers to accompany each group until they are safely in the hands of an airline, ensuring their safety and well-being throughout the journey. They coordinate closely with parents to reconnect as soon as the teams touch down in the United States or on connecting flights overseas.
These entities play a crucial role in ensuring that all necessary paperwork is in place for the international teams to travel. Even a single missing form could keep a child from heading home on time. Coaches and team administrators must coordinate with headquarters before arriving in Pennsylvania, which means the return journey is planned while qualifying tournaments are still being played. It is a side of the World Series the public rarely notices, but without it, the beloved August tradition would collapse under its own weight.
A Little League season is remembered for dramatic wins and heartbreaking losses, but the Series does not end until every player is safe at home. That measure of success belongs not only to the athletes, but also to the dedicated staff and volunteers who work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, in offices, on buses, and inside airports. Every cheer that echoes around Lycoming County each summer is matched by their careful, often unnoticed, work to ensure the world leaves Williamsport exactly as it arrived: together, organized, and proud to have been here.
The logistical operations impact more than just the families and children involved. Hotels across Williamsport and nearby towns accommodate international teams for extended stays when flights are delayed or scheduled later. Restaurants gain steady business from families that stay behind while waiting for departure. Retail shops continue to see tournament visitors filling downtown after the final game is over. According to Visit Lycoming County, the annual economic boost tied to the Series is more than $40 million, a figure that includes the extra nights and meals purchased. This significant economic impact highlights the event’s importance to the local community. At the same time, international teams wait for buses and flights to arrive.
Months before a pitch is thrown, Little League International is working with embassies, consulates, and the U.S. State Department to verify travel documents.
Stephen D. Keener, former President and CEO of Little League International, summarized it best when asked about the task. “The World Series is not finished until every player is safely back with their families. That is as important to us as the memories they create while they are here in Williamsport.”
Not Just Clothes…
From Summer to a Summer-Like Fall
t’s again time to say so long to summer and turn toward fall, knowing full well we’ll still have some scorching days in the forecast as we all yearn for a crisp autumn breeze.
Figuring out what to wear as one season transitions to the next is always challenging, but the turnover from summer to fall feels even more frustrating because everyone is so ready for chunky knits and boots and denim layers, but it’s just too darn hot out to fully dive into fall fashion.
Bernadette Ulsamer
Here are a few tips, tricks, some savior pieces, and out tting ideas as we end summer but are still blazing in a summer-like fall.
First up, Bermuda shorts. e styling possibilities with a longer short make them an ideal garment for this time of year. You can go with a tank top and sneakers for a casual look when the highs are in the 80s. For days when the wind picks up and the feelings of fall are just at your ngertips, style them with a button-down cardigan combo and kitten heel. Lands’ End has a Women’s Classic 12” Chino Short in Navy, Chambray, or Light Stone. I’d wear the chambray in a more casual setting and save the navy for work.
ere’s also Gap Factory’s 9” Downtown Bermuda Short in Black and Khaki, which again can be worn with a tee-shirt and ip ops, just as easily with a blouse and ballet
ats. Hot tip! When dressing up a pair of shorts, be sure to add a belt to de ne your overall silhouette and add some polish to your look. If you’re ready to move away from shorts entirely this season, then consider barrel bottoms. is silhouette o ers a fresh take on the straight and skinny leg pant, combining the laid-back vibes of summer with the coverage and practicality of fall. Old Navy’s High-Waisted Pull-On Barrel Jeans pair well with a tted tee and Birkenstock-style sandals for the weekend. A de nite out tting option for any upcoming farm or foliage-related fall activities. Uniqlo’s Jersey Barrel Pant has more of a 9-to-5 style with a matching sweater set and belted. If you nd the volume of this pant style intimidating, start with a smaller, less wide barrel leg.
Another “style hack” for this transitional season is switching out your summer white pieces for summer black versions. A black summer dress, such as WAYF’s Smocked Fit & Flare Sundress from Nordstrom Rack, makes for an easy out t pre- and post-Labor Day. Wear it now with a thong sandal and woven bag, then ease into an autumn look with a denim jacket and cowboy boots as the temps start dropping. You can also swap your white poplin skirt for a black version like Lo ’s Poplin Pleated Maxi Pocket Skirt. Pair it with a peasant blouse during these
last days of summer, then, as the air slowly starts to crisp, wear this skirt with a turtleneck and blazer for an autumnal business casual out t. If you’re not ready to let go of your summery white clothes just yet, style them with black accessories, such as shoes, belts, and bags, as a nod to the changing season.
Last fall, I nally embraced the rugby stripe trend with a sweater from Anthropologie, wearing it with cropped trousers and loafers. Rugby-inspired pieces speak to the back-to-school theme of this particular time of year and can serve you well into autumn, winter, and spring, depending on the stripe colors. For now, go for earth tones with bright contrasts, like J.Crew Factory’s Striped Rugby Shirt in a camel and red. Wear it with your Bermuda shorts to double
down on your transitional look. As the holidays roll around, pair this knit with a brown corduroy skirt, tights, and boots. And since it’s (at the time of this writing) 39% o , pick up the same shirt in navy and stone for a casual spring look with jeans and a pu y vest. Another great source for rugby stripes is the men’s section, particularly in your local thri store. An oversized shirt lends itself to a more casual look, so be sure to balance out the volume up top with a tted bottom, like a skinny crop trouser or leggings. Another styling trick to incorporate into your transitional season dressings are T-shirt dresses. From maxis to minis, these easy-tothrow-on garments can be dressed down or up and layered for these in-between times over the next month. Natural Life’s All Day Cotton Tee Dress in Black or Teal, with its
twisted neckline and elbow-length sleeves, makes for a simple yet chic piece for cooler mornings and sunny a ernoons. It’s especially versatile when layered with a striped V-neck sweater that can be thrown over the shoulders as the day warms up. If you’re looking for some patterns, check out the same brand’s Frankie Knit Cotton Tee Midi Dress in oral color ways of turquoise, pink, or cream. ese tones and the delicate print give an expected moody vibe that ts into the darker romance that autumn brings. I see these working well into the season with cowboy boots and shackets, while now, pair with a chambray shirt and sneakers. Speaking of sneakers, for my money, they are hands down the ultimate shoe for transitioning from summer to fall. I’m not talking about your ratty wear-without-socks yard-
work or gym sneakers. But a sleek, clean, possibly slip-on version that provides function and comfort. Dr. Scholl’s Time O Platform Sneaker ts the bill as they are actively supportive, while also being minimalistic to wear with jean shorts or with wide-leg trousers. However, if you want to go bolder with your seasonal transition style, check out Dolce Vita’s Notice Stitch Sneakers in various leopard prints. With a removable insole, these also support the foot while bringing a pop of print to your midi black dress or barrel pant and button-down. With Labor Day in the rearview and eyes turning toward a bustling autumn, the weather may still feel summery, so until we get into the true fall forecast, hopefully, some of these out tting ideas and pieces will see you well into sweater weather.

FEATURING: SENATOR KEEFER & FMR. House member frank ryan
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. Visit noprop.tax/the-plan/estimate-taxes for more info.
When: Thursday, September 4th, at 12:30 p.m.

Andrea’s Home Cookin’…
There’s Still Good in the World
Well, hey there, September. You came in from nowhere. How is this even possible? I feel like I write each week, and each month seems to fly by faster and faster and faster. I can say, though, that I am absolutely loving these temperature changes. It’s fantastic.
I’m not only ready for cooler temperatures, but also excited for the changing leaves, the smell of cinnamon, the taste of pumpkin, and cozy nights in.
Andrea McElroy
I have heard the Starbucks commercial on the radio and saw it on TV, so you know the pumpkin era has definitely begun.
But the fall kick-off for me isn’t pumpkin coffee. It’s a special day I spend with Kenzy, and this year was a memorable one.
Last year, she saved up her money, and for the first time, we started something together. A Halloween/fall shopping trip. We did it right before school started, which is August, but it’s kind of fun doing it before fall actually kicks off. It gives Kenz something to be excited about towards the end of summer, instead of dwelling on school starting back up. Last year, we visited various places to check out the new fall/Halloween decorations. T.J. Maxx, Michael’s, Five Below, Bath & Body, Rust & Shine, Target, and many others. The joy she had walking into each store with excitement was so fun.
“Oh, Momma! Look at this!” “This is so cute, Mommy!” “Oh my gosh! I have to have it!” This year, she made a list of stores and had like ten places. I wasn’t feeling really great and knew there was no way I could do ten of these stores, but I couldn’t let her down. She had been counting down the days for our shopping day for weeks! We visited places like Rust & Shine (the day before), then Kohl’s, Bath & Body, Target, and Five Below, and she really wanted the Wednesday’s Addams meal at Wendy’s. We stopped there after Kohl’s, and she asked if we could swing by Walmart. I didn’t mind being right by there.
Can I quickly mention what she bought at Kohl’s? A runner and a pillow. What eleven-year-old wants to buy a runner for her dresser? I thought it was adorable!! She is going to have a heck of a hope chest someday when she has her own house. You should see her room each holiday, haha, just like her mother.
At Walmart, she found two things she wanted, but the one thing she couldn’t find was the price. It was an oversized sleeper hoodie, gray with white ghosts all over it. As we approached the cashier, my biggie girl wanted to go to her own line beside me. She thinks it’s so cool to pay for her stuff with her own money by herself. I get it. I was young once, too. So, there she was next
* Available by the Half Bushel
to me in line as I unloaded my cart. I heard her ask the cashier the price of this ghost sweatshirt and then say, “OK, I’m not going to get it, but thank you.” I looked over, and this older gentleman was standing behind Kenzy waiting to check out. He started pushing his cart closer to her and asked Kenzy why she hadn’t gotten the sweatshirt. She replied with a smile as sweet as could be, “I’m not going to get it because my momma and I are going to more stores a er this, and I want to save my money.”
is man looked at the cashier and asked her to add it to his bill. Kenzy was so quick to say, “Oh, sir, no, no, no. You don’t have to do that!” But he insisted. We all stood there watching in awe. My cashier asked me if I knew him, and I told her I did not. Everyone around us was smiling, watching this all unfold. One person even said, “See, there are still good people in this world!” is man not only showed my daughter kindness that day, but also showed her that strangers truly do care and that not all people are bad. ere still is so much kindness in this world.
ank you, Ron, for the thoughtful gesture to my eleven-year-old. No lie, she wears her ghost sweatshirt to bed every night because it’s so cozy and still talks about the man who bought it for her. I pray God blesses you the way he did us that day. ank you again from the bottom of my heart!!

A Runaway American Dream: “Born to Run” Turns 50
wanted to make the greatest rock record that I’d ever heard.”
at’s Bruce Springsteen describing Born to Run — which seems to have ful lled this hope, as it’s still going strong for its 50th anniversary.
Released Aug. 25, 1975, the Boss’s third album became his breakout — a perfect suite of eight magnicently engineered gems. Now considered a classic — and in keeping with its creator’s lo y ambitions, truly one of rock’s great LPs — Born to Run includes the title hit and another “Hot 100” charter, “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.” But really, every song is great. Personal faves include “Meeting Across the River” (of which more later), the wistful “ under Road” and the soaring, climactic “Jungleland” — running nearly 10 minutes.
Joseph W. Smith III
Springsteen may be the nest lyricist this country ever produced — better and more accessible than Dylan, in this writer’s not-so-humble opinion. Just take another look at “Born to Run,” even without the music; or “Jungleland,” which o ers my single favorite Boss line: “Barefoot girl sittin’ on the hood of a Dodge / Drinkin’ warm beer in the so summer rain.” It’s got maybe one too many adjectives; but as an evocation of a dreamy adolescent time gone by — so characteristic of Springsteen’s work — you can’t beat it.
Mired at the time in my own prog-rock preferences (Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull), I didn’t join the Springsteen bandwagon till 1980. Late that year, a close college friend — who also happened to hail from Springsteen territory in Oakhurst, NJ — urged me to catch a show on e River tour; and I was hooked.
For me, it was a triple-whammy of expert musicianship, ery lyrics and rip-roaring three-hour concerts that earned Springsteen the well-deserved title “hardest-working man in rock ’n’ roll.”
In my teaching career at Loyalsock, I had success in English class covering several Springsteen poems. “Cautious Man,” from his later Tunnel of Love, is a heart-wrenching ode to marital commitment — a sober, real-world contrast to the “you’re all my hopes & dreams” motif that pervades most love songs in the pop world. And from Born to Run, the quiet, melancholy, doomed-loser tragedy of “Meeting Across the River” makes a terri c intro to the poetic style called “dramatic monologue.”
In that genre, a rst-person narrator argues vehemently for himself while unwittingly revealing — to both the reader and a silent listener — a very di erent truth. With “Meeting,” the low-rent drug-runner insists that he and his partner are about to hit the big-time; yet line a er line presages his impending
two-bit demise — so the titular river could be the Styx, with a dark destination “on the other side.”
Musically, Born to Run was reportedly brutal to record, with Springsteen so insistent on perfection that, for example, his guitar parts in “ under Road” and Clarence Clemons’ sax solo in “Jungleland” took, respectively, 13 and 16 hours to record. (Yes, hours.) Fans should read the long, loving saga of its creation at the album’s excellent Wikipedia page. I’ll nish instead with my own story of that 1980 concert, which opened with a blazing three-song overture that le every single person in the venue not only on their feet, but actually standing on their chairs. In the ensuing interlude, Springsteen told the crowd, “It’s going to be a long night; why don’t you all sit down.” At which point, 20,000 people
did — in unison. He played 90 minutes. en took a break and played another 90. Followed by a ve-song encore. One highlight involved a young man who managed to get Bruce’s attention from the oor near the stage. A er talking brie y with this fan, Springsteen asked for a spotlight there, as the man wanted to propose to his girlfriend while the band played “I Wanna Marry You.” Surrounded in glowing light, the couple slow-danced through that tune, a er which Bruce wanted to know, “What’d she say?” And who could possibly say no with a set-up like that? So thousands of people cheered this very touching engagement. Here’s hoping their marriage is still thriving a er all those years. at is certainly the case with Born to Run.
Flick Hosts LLWS Picnic to Celebrate Community, Global Friendships
On Tuesday, August 19th, Rep. Jamie Flick (R-Lycoming/Union) hosted Little League World Series (LLWS) teams and dignitaries for a picnic. The picnic, which has turned into an annual tradition, celebrates the spirit of community and global friendships formed through the LLWS.
Attending the picnic were players from Chinese Taipei (Team Asia-Pacific) and Nevada (Team Mountain Region); team families and coaches; and dignitaries including Karen Stotz Myers, the daughter of Little League founder Carl Stotz, and Billy Martin, a former player who threw the first no-hitter in Little League World Series history in 1950.
“The picnic was about more than just sharing a meal,” Flick said. “It was about friendship, tradition and showing the world the community spirit of Williamsport. It
was an honor to host everyone and welcome them to a celebration that brings people together from around the world.”
Flick, who hasn’t missed a LLWS in more than 50 years, is a steadfast supporter of Little League and all youth sports. He said while he would love to have hosted all the teams at the picnic, the two teams were chosen because they didn’t have games on Tuesday.
“Each year, this picnic gives players, coaches and families a chance to relax, connect and enjoy a day off the field before returning to competition,” Flick said. “The goal is to make the entire experience surrounding the LLWS a memorable one for everyone involved.”
Sharing the history of Little League with the players and families were three legends: Stotz Myers, Martin and Donald “Doc” Shearer. Stotz Myers talked about her father and shared snippets from the storied
Rep. Jamie Flick (R-Lycoming/Union) is pictured with players from Chinese Taipei (Team Asia-Pacific) and Nevada (Team Mountain Region), team families and coaches. Seated left to right are Billy Martin, Donald “Doc” Shearer, and Karen Stotz Myers, daughter of Carl Stotz, founder of Little League.
history of Little League, showing various equipment used in the early days. Martin reminisced about his time playing for Houston, TX when he threw the rst no-hitter of the series against Westerly, RI in 1950. Shearer, who is from Montoursville, discussed playing in the rst-ever Little League Tournament held in Williamsport in 1947. Flick serves on the House Children and Youth Committee and is co-chair of the Taiwanese Caucus, a role that made hosting Team Asia-Paci c especially meaningful.
He added that events like the picnic allow him to support young people, foster global connections and showcase Pennsylvania as a welcome destination for visitors from around the world.
“ e experience at the picnic was incredible,” Flick said. “It was so much fun to see the players, laughing, sharing stories and enjoying themselves o the eld. Moments like these remind you of why Little League has such a special place in our community and around the world.”

Breast milk is often called “liquid gold” because of how perfectly it is tailored to meet an infant’s needs. It contains the ideal mix of nutrients, antibodies, and enzymes to support healthy growth and development. Research shows that breastfeeding can:
– Reduce the risk of infections, including ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and diarrhea.
– Lower the likelihood of developing asthma, obesity, and type 2 diabetes later in life.
– Promote better brain development and cognitive performance.
Breastfeeding is also linked to a lower
risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), especially when continued through the baby’s first six months.
Health Benefits for Mom
The benefits of breastfeeding are not one-sided. Nursing can help mothers recover from childbirth more quickly by stimulating uterine contractions, which reduces postpartum bleeding. Over time, breastfeeding has been shown to:
– Lower the risk of breast and ovarian cancers.
– Reduce the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
– Support natural weight loss after pregnancy.
It can also offer emotional and mental health advantages, such as improved bonding and a reduced risk of postpartum depression.
How Communities Benefit
Beyond individual families, breastfeeding offers wide-reaching public health benefits. Fewer infections and chronic conditions in infants lead to lower health care costs for families and the health care system. Breastfeeding
also reduces packaging waste and energy use associated with formula production, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Breastfeeding/breast milk feeding can be lifesaving in times of emergencies and natural disasters when resources may be limited. Communities that support breastfeeding — through lactation-friendly workplaces, public spaces, and health care policies — often see better health outcomes and higher employee satisfaction. Over time, this contributes to a healthier population and less strain on public health resources.
Support and Flexibility Matter
While breastfeeding is natural, it is not always easy. Many mothers face challenges, including latch issues, milk supply concerns, and the need to balance breastfeeding with work and other responsibilities. Some mothers may choose or need to express milk to feed their baby by bottle. Support from family members, health care providers, lactation consultants, and employers can make a big difference in helping new parents reach their feeding goals. It is also important to acknowledge that not everyone can or chooses to breast-

feed or provide breast milk, and that is completely OK. Some families may have experiences that are out of their control, and these may impact feeding practices. Modern infant formula, when prepared safely, is nourishing and designed to support healthy development. If you are unable to breastfeed or decide it is not the right choice for your family, you are still giving your baby the love, nutrition, and care they need to thrive.
The most important thing is to explore breastfeeding first, understand your
options and the support available, and make the informed decision that works best for you and your baby — free from guilt or judgment.

What is Truth? Faith Truth
By Tim Hartzell
Think hicks and Forest Gump.
Note: This is the sixth article in the What Is Truth? series. Previous articles are always available at www.webbweekly.com.
In review, truth is something that agrees with reality.
Universal truth agrees with universal reality. It is truth that applies to everyone, everywhere. It is truth of first importance, the map that guides us to true north and allows us to live at peace with the universe. It is indisputable law.
Communal truth agrees with common reality. It is truth that applies to everyone living in a shared context or contract. It is truth of second importance, the compass that guides us to magnetic north and allows us to live at peace within our communities. It is disputable belief or doctrine. See Romans 14.
Personal truth agrees with inner reality. It is truth that specifically applies to an individual within their unique journey. It is truth of third importance, the mirror that guides us to core north and allows us to live at peace with ourselves. It is personal conviction.
Complex truth requires speculative investigation of possibilities involving the sciences and philosophy. It is theoretical, delving into the who-what-where-when-andhow of the vast mysteries of the universe. Those who pursue complex truth are often criticized because they appear ignorant of the simple truths utilized in everyday life. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes described them as, “so heavenly minded they are of no earthly good.” Think geeks and Sheldon Cooper.
When considering plain and complex truth, Dr. Holmes stated, “For the simplicity on this side of complexity, I wouldn’t give you a fig. But for the simplicity on the other side of complexity, for that I would give you anything I have.”
The trouble with being fully content with simple truth is the loss of knowledge that broadens and opens the mind. God gave us the instinct to question and the ability to investigate because he knew that boundless curiosity would lead us forward in exploration and discovery. When we settle for simple truth, we stop questioning and investigating — and we stop learning and growing.
In addition to universal, communal, and personal truths, truth can also be simple, complex, and faith-based. Simple truth is readily accessible; it does not require advanced education or high intelligence. It is practical and applicable. It is often referred to as common sense. Those who are content with simple truth are often criticized for being naïve and unsophisticated.
The pursuit of complex truth, however, can overwhelm us with infinite possibilities. A rather frustrated person recently said to me, “In an infinite universe, there are infinite possibilities — we cannot know anything for certain.” That may be true, but every traveler/ explorer/inventor must venture boldly into the unknown by focusing on the knowledge they do have. If our focus is only on what we
don’t know, we end up suffering a paralysis of analysis that places us in bondage and keeps us from advancement. This is the basis of Dr. Holmes’ simple-and-complex conundrum. At some point, we must place faith in truth as it is currently known, so it can lead us into the unknown where greater truth is discovered. When we are unwilling or unable to act faithfully on the truth we have, we stop advancing. This leads us to our next form of truth:
Faith truth is transcendent truth. MeriamWebster defines transcendent as exceeding usual limits; extending or lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience; being beyond comprehension; transcending the universe or material existence. It takes faith to believe something is true and to act on it, even when you cannot prove it. For this reason, faith truth
is the foundation of every form of exploration. Faith truth bridges the gap between what we know and what we are confident of through observable evidence. Every scientist puts faith in observational evidence to support the existence of phenomena they cannot yet prove. Dark matter is just one example. The observable evidence for dark matter is enough to keep them researching, learning, and even acting on it, without being able to directly prove it.
Every Christian puts their faith in observable evidence to support the existence of the God they cannot see or touch. With that faith truth, they step out and take risk. As they act on their faith in the observable evidence for God, they learn more about God. The writer of Hebrews recognized the existence of spiritually observable evidence: Now faith is
“NICKLES FARM”
confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1. Fellow believer, do not be ashamed of or shrink back from your faith. It is based on the observable evidence God has provided in creation: What may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:19-20. It is also based on the observable evidence God has placed in your heart. Listen as Paul declares his statement of heart-observable faith truth to Timothy: I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. 2 Timothy 1:12
Paul also declared his faith in the observable evidence found in the powerful Word of God: For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12.
Jesus spoke of the observable evidence found in the miraculous peace he gives: And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
My friend, faith truth is reasonable and powerful, and it can launch you forward into a life that is abundant and free. That’s what all truth does: it sets you free.
If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

“Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: A Veteran’s Memoir” by Khadijah Queen c.2025, Legacy Lit
$30.00 348 pages
Keep your head down. Stay steady, mind your business, and don’t compare yourself to others. You are where you are for a reason, don’t lose sight of it.
ere’s a prize at the end, and endurance is the only way to get it. You have a job to do and, as in the new memoir “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” by Khadijah Queen, you’ll do it until you can’t.
Khadijah Queen hated Inkster, Michigan.
She had begged to stay in L.A. but her mother ignored her pleas and moved the family to Inkster to take care of the atrisk children of Queen’s addicted eldest sister. Not old enough to stay in “Cali” by herself, but old enough to work and contribute to the household, Queen rushed to sign up for classes at a local Michigan college because she knew education was the only way to escape the situations that had her family in a stranglehold. Alcoholism, drug abuse, no money,
problems came like storms and when those problems forced her to drop her classes, she decided to join the Navy. A few years of service, she knew, and her college education would be free. Happily, Boot Camp wasn’t so bad. ere were a handful of Black recruits and personnel who held Queen up when she felt sad and they gave her hope. She learned in Navy Boot Camp that she was a leader, but she wasn’t fully ready for it. She wanted to serve on a submarine and once there, she tried to just do her job but her white male shipmates made it di cult.
She endured their hazing and sexual harassment. She endured their racism and juvenile jokes. She endured a noose left laying on her study manuals.
Less than six months aboard, she says, “my anger had become a living thing, and even though I didn’t want it, I kept that anger close. It leapt ahead of me when it had to.”
Prepared to be stunned.
From the first few pages to this books’ roaring end, “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” grabs readers by the throat and doesn’t let go. You plainly see author Khadijah Queen’s need to get away from near-poverty; it paces like a lion in a small cage. You’ll cringe at her maturity that doesn’t quite go far enough because
you’ve probably been there, too. When she’s about to get in trouble for speaking her mind or because she’s impatient, you’ll squirm, knowing what’s coming. Authentic language puts you in uniform. Tragedy will hurt your heart. So will some of the people in this book when you learn what happens to them, but the story would be lesser without the rich presence of each of them and without Queen’s no-nonsenseness, her boiling impatience, and her profanity-laced honesty.
Veterans may have some things to say about this one-of-a-kind book, as will feminists, and neither of them, nor you, should miss it. Start “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” and it’ll keep your head down good.
The Roving Sportsman… The Many Benefits of Squirrel Hunting
By Jon Pries
If you did a survey, particularly of older hunters, I would bet that most began their hunting years by tramping the woods in search of squirrels. They were certainly an upland game that I targeted in my early days of hunting. Today, there seems to be less interest in spending time hunting squirrels, yet there remain many good reasons to hunt them.
The squirrel season in Pennsylvania begins on Saturday, September 13, giving hunters an early opportunity to spend time hunting in our hardwood forests. Any time you can be in the woods in pursuit of old bushytail, you can be scouting out places to hunt for fall turkeys, deer, or other game as well. Squirrel hunting is one of the greatest opportunities to mentor a youth or introduce a new hunter to the sport. Finally, when you are lucky enough to bring home a few squirrels, they can be mighty tasty on the dinner plate! So, let’s take a look at a few things to keep in mind as you head out.
Squirrels are tree dwellers that can be found throughout our Northcentral Pennsylvania hardwood forests. While they will eat the nuts of a beech tree, their preference as a food source is the acorn, with white oak acorns being their favorite. Unfortunately for farmers, they also can readily be found raiding nearby corn fields. If you can find a spot at the edge of a stand of white oak trees
that lies next to a corn field, you will be in a prime spot for squirrel hunting. Combine those two factors with a small stream meandering through, and you should have good success.
Gray squirrels often begin moving about at sunrise and are active throughout the day. Always alert to possible predation, they rarely stray too far from a nearby tree where they can quickly climb to safety. If you are sitting, occasionally rustling the leaves with your hand or a stick will simulate a turkey scratching or a squirrel digging in the leaves, and will tend to convince them that the coast is clear, helping to lure them out into the open.
Sitting in a grove of white oak trees or next to a field of standing corn can be productive throughout the day, and the method of spot and stalk can be very effective as well. Take your time as you ease through the woods, stopping often to survey the area or listen for nearby squirrels. Hunting squirrels is all about patience. You don’t need to rush and shoot at a moving target; wait until the squirrel stops before aiming. Carry a few small rocks in your pocket. If you know there is a squirrel on the backside of a nearby tree, toss a rock beyond the tree — on the side where the squirrel is staying — and he just might scurry around to your side of the tree, presenting a shot opportunity.
Since the preferred methods of hunting bushytails is either sitting or slowly walking
as you spot and stalk, mentoring a youth (or an adult who is new to hunting) while squirrel hunting will provide an excellent chance to share time talking about firearm safety, ethical hunting methods, woodsmanship and all the many facets of spending time in the woods that make hunting such an enjoyable and rewarding pursuit. For a mentored youth, one of the ideal firearms is a .22 rifle topped with a 4-power scope. The lack of recoil makes it a preferred introductory weapon, and it is highly effective for taking down a squirrel.
Finally, bringing home several squirrels for the dinner table can be quite a tasty experience, particularly when using this recipe for squirrel pot pie:
Ingredients: one large onion, coarsely chopped, several stalks of celery, coarsely chopped, one large garlic clove, minced or
pressed, 6 cups of beef broth, fresh ground pepper and salt to taste, two squirrels, cleaned and quartered, one 12-ounce can of mixed vegetables, one tablespoon of cornstarch, and pastry for a double-crust pie.
Combine the onion, celery, garlic, broth, pepper, salt, and squirrel in a large pot and bring to a boil; simmer until the meat is very tender and easily removed from the bones. Debone the meat and set it aside; reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Fit the bottom crust into a pie pan. Combine the meat, vegetables, and reserved broth with the cornstarch in a bowl and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the pie shell. Top with the second crust, press the edges to seal, and cut vents in the top for steam to escape. Bake at 350°F until the crust is browned, about 1 hour. ENJOY!

It’s hard to believe, but hunting seasons are soon to begin.
I know, woodchuck hunting has been going on all summer, and I even managed to bag one myself, but I’m talking about our typical fall hunting seasons.
Over the years, my typical start to the fall hunting season was pursuing the elusive, fast- ying small gray bird — the mourning dove. If you’ve ever wanted to sharpen your shotgun shooting skills, a dove hunt might be a good activity to add to your schedule. Doves have been hunted in Pennsylvania since 1945.
made up of weed seeds and waste grains, which are responsible for about 98 percent of their diet. e dove is a bird of open woodland edges and farmland with scattered trees and shrubs. ey can also be found in open woods, evergreen stands, orchards, and even suburban gardens, but they typically avoid heavily wooded or dense areas. Obviously, hunting a tree line between two grain elds is certainly a good location; the trees provide some concealment, and shooting can be anywhere as the doves y in and out of the elds to feed.
Because the mourning dove is a migratory bird, hunting regulations fall under federal regulations. e states set hunting seasons and bag limits within a framework set by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In Pennsylvania, the mourning dove population usually peaks as we begin to move into the fall months. Adults and the locally produced young increase in numbers when they are joined by migrating birds from the north.
e diet of the mourning dove is
Another great hunting spot where I’ve had some of my best hunting is setting up somewhere near a pond. Don’t set up too close to the water because you don’t want to drop any birds into the middle of the pond where you can’t retrieve them. A tree line or some brush 40 yards from the pond is probably a good location. Needless to say, these birds are fast ying and can exhibit some sudden erratic movements, putting your shooting skills to the test. My guess is that most serious dove hunters prob-
ably use a 12-gauge shotgun for their dove hunting. I like my Winchester semiautomatic since I can operate and maneuver it more quickly than my pump shotgun.
I’m not saying a lighter gun like a 20 gauge or even a 410 wouldn’t work, but these gauges may be a little “under-gunned,” and the larger 12-gauge load may increase your chances. I have a good friend who is outstandingly skilled with a shotgun, and he has taken more than his share of doves with a 410, but he is no doubt an exception.
Dove season runs Sept. 1-Nov. 28. and there is a second season from
Dec. 20-Jan. 3. ere is no Sunday hunting for doves. Keep in mind that in addition to your regular hunting license, you must also have a Migratory Game Bird License since doves are migratory birds. You are allowed to take 15 birds in a single day. at may sound pretty liberal, but trying to bring that many down on a single hunt can be a real challenge, at least for me it is. Not only is dove hunting a challenge, but it’s also great fun, and the weather is o en very pleasant. Another plus is that although the dove breast is small, if you manage to bag enough, they make a great meal.
Of all the many wonderful experiences and memories this year’s Little League World Series generated for those of us on the iHeart Media radio broadcast team, the one that sticks with me the most occurred before the rst pitch was thrown.
Hours before the tournament’s opening ceremonies were to begin at Volunteer Stadium, colleague Ken Sawyer dutifully passed through the security checkpoint. Friendly sta greeted him, stating, “Good morning, Bill. Are you ready for another World Series? You guys will be broadcasting right in front of your sign.”
As Ken approached me at our broadcasting location, he smiled and said, “You’ll never guess what happened.” He was right. I never would have guessed.
Since 1959, when the World Series moved from Original Field to its current South Williamsport location until his passing in 2017 renowned local broadcaster Bill Byham had been a treasured radio voice of the proceedings. His dedication and support of Little League received high praise from the organization, as he was the recipient of the prestigious W. Howard Hartman Friendship Award in 1993, and the press section at Volunteer Stadium was named in his honor in 2002.
Sawyer, whose radio World Series
broadcasting career began shortly a er Byham’s and himself had won the Hartman Award in 2021, had been misidenti ed at the security gate as the legendary Le hander.
When I asked if he had corrected the innocent ga e, he replied, “No, I just walked by. Really, that was quite an honor itself. Bill would have had a good laugh about that.”
At that moment, and throughout the Series at that location, doing the job Bill had done for such a long time brought back so many memories shared with ‘Buck.’ He came into my life as my high school basketball coach, and a friendship grew that lasted the rest of his lifetime. He was a mentor, not only to me, but to countless young people who passed through his classroom or were involved in so many community endeavors.
As the World Series unfolded, things happening on the playing eld continued to bring back those ‘Bill Byham’ moments. How would he describe the pitcher’s style? What would he have thought of the continuous batting order? How did he feel the coaches were handling the young charges on his team?
While those answers weren’t forthcoming, I know how he would have positively reacted to the way Irmo, South Carolina’s coaching sta of David Bogan, Pat Gravelle,
and Mike Beckworth, were handling things. e trio guiding the twelve 12-year-olds from the small 11,569 town population would have received his standing ovation. Progressing through the long tournament trail all the way to South Williamsport, the Irmo kids “believed” in their coaches and what they were taught. ey continually battled teams from larger population centers with exciting play and come-frombehind victories, none greater than a verun bottom-of-the-sixth-inning comeback that erased a 4-0 Lake Mary, Florida lead and eliminated the defending LLB World Series champions in the Southeast Regional Tournament to punch their ticket to our backyard.
Byham would have also smiled at the dogged determination of the Lai MinNan-led Tung-Yuan Chinese Taipei Little Leaguers that ended his country’s 29-year World Series drought by claiming the 2025 World Series championship.
And knowing his brief but memorable South Williamsport girls’ basketball coaching experience, I know he would have been one of the rst to congratulate Australia’s rst baseman Monica Arcuri when she recorded her team’s rst hit in the opening round.
A gi ed three-sport athlete and wellrespected coach, broadcaster, and journalist, Byham’s career coaching girls was short-lived and humorous.
Asked by South Williamsport Principal Rod Morgans to coach the school’s rst girls’ team, he was reluctant but accepted the challenge.
During the team’s rst few practice sessions, a young point guard kept bringing the ball down the right side of the court. Byham instructed her to use both sides of the court. When his coaching went unheeded, he blew his whistle and sternly told the player to roll the o ense to the other side of the court.
On the next possession, the point guard stopped at the top of the key, looked to her right, and then bent down and rolled the basketball across the court to a player standing on her le . Byham was furious as the player responded, ‘You told me to roll the ball to the other side.’
I can still hear Bill telling me that he rst should have taken the time to explain basketball terminology to his inexperienced players.
Bill Byham stories are many, but so are the tales the coaches of this year’s World Series teams could tell. What they all have in common is they have taken the time, interest, and perseverance to mentor the young people trusted to their guidance. ey all should be thanked for that!
My Webb Weekly articles are submitted on Friday. My lovely editor, Steph, will occasionally reach out when it is way past my deadline. YO. NEED YOUR ARTICLE BRO. Everything is nished except for this page. I am not kidding. I used to leave her hanging. Never my intention. Sometimes work gets in the way. I am a part-time mobile freelance scribe who suffers from acute series three procrastination. But I am getting better. And this is simply a disclaimer. Just in case I miss a few columns.
ere are so many great stories to share. It is a splendid time of year. Week two of the high school sports season is over. College football started this weekend. How about my man Tom Cillo and the Lycoming Warriors? e 58-year-old freshman is trending. Fantastic stu .
Instead of recapping a game several days later. I usually nd a tale in there somewhere. I look forward to getting back in the booth this fall. Hazleton at Williamsport rst. Perhaps you had a chance to tune in. I take great pride in being a play-by-play announcer. My mom always told me that I had a face for radio. Some are totally puzzled when they see me plug in my headset. I still get asked when I am shaking hands. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FOOTBALL? AREN’T YOU A BASKETBALL GUY, SPENCER? Yes. It is a popular topic. Look. I have been calling games for 27
years. Dead serious. I usually have a resume in my back pocket. I just gave one to Karl Ravesh. You never know. I got my start in college. I was a student broadcaster for 91.7 WLYC and the Lycoming Warriors. I had so much fun in those three great seasons. My senior years. Doctorate program? No. Just a Bachelor’s. I traveled in the same van with WRAK legends Buck Byham and Ken Sawyer. I was a sponge. ose guys taught me a lot. Tons of pointers. Paint the picture, kid. No one cares about your politics. Frank Girardi and I became friends. He would invite me over to chat before the games. Every Friday in his o ce for 30 minutes. Coach G always made time for me and our 35 listeners. I will never forget. Rubbing elbows with the very best. I was with many other out ts for the next several years. It was hard. I never found a home. e sponsors went elsewhere. Radio was getting replaced. TV and streaming became kings. Smartphones took over. Computers were everywhere. Tablets too. San Dimas High School Football rules! My game checks started bouncing. Teach got pissed. I needed to regroup. My hobby and side gigs were in shambles. Everything changed when I hooked up with IPTSPORTSNET.
We are not on the radio. We are online. e picture is perfect, and the commentators are quite alright. Nick Caringi is our leader. Young Kyle operates the cameras. Mike Lundy and I call the games. Our
broadcasts are live via YouTube, and they can be viewed worldwide. We have tons of fans in other places. My folks in California always tune in. I love hearing all the feedback. Even if it is bad. One of my chums who is stationed in Japan gave me a shout. I don’t pay much attention to the comments. YOU SOUND GREAT WHEN I HIT MUTE. It is just nice to know they streamed in.
Back to the question. Besides broadcasting. I do know a few things about football. No one could beat me in Madden or Super Tecmo. So, I only played one year of organized ball at Curtin Middle School. I was a third-string receiver and a fourth-string corner. My playing time was VERY limited. I was primarily used as a tackling dummy at practice. Coach Bobby Lynn said I had great hands, but he was concerned for my personal safety. Coach didn’t use signals or fancy note cards; he used the receivers to relay the plays. We were a running team like most junior high squads. Out of 50 downs, we would throw the ball maybe once.
I nally got my opportunity. I will never forget. We had a few injuries and several disciplinary problems. Don’t steal lightbulbs in Brandon Park, kids. I quickly moved up the depth chart. I was the only option le . Coach Lynn grabbed me by the facemask and said BLUE RIGHT 34
BLAST. A run to the right. My rst bit of action. I was so excited. I ran to the huddle, but totally forgot the play. I turned to the quarterback and improvised. BLUE RIGHT 50 Z GO TE DRAG. I was on top of the formation. Lycoming Valley didn’t see me as a threat. We ran the ball the previous 24 times. I was on an island. Our QB dropped back to pass. I could only imagine Coach’s reaction. SPENCER! I didn’t stop to look. I was concentrating on my route. I ran to the corner of the endzone. Again. I was all alone. A tight spiral was heading my way. e ball was in the air forever. It was dead silent. I said a quick prayer and somehow managed to gather the pigskin in my hands. Mr. Larry Bassett gave me some love. TOUCHDOWN. JAMIE SPENCER. e crowd went wild. What a fantastic memory. I decided to hang up my helmet the following season. I wanted to concentrate more on chorus and golf. It was a great move for everyone involved. Cheers.
