Look Up in the Sky! It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s a ???

As more challenges to our freedom and way of life in America seem to occur daily, I thought the Chinese spy balloon and all the recent sightings of UFOs seen was a good place to start this week. As Americans have turned their eyes to the skies, UFOs being reported seems to be a daily occurrence.

I like our President’s approach, let an unidentified weather balloon, which later became known as the Chinese spy balloon, survey our Nation and after they’ve had a really good look at everything, shoot it down. This followed by then declaring war on any unidentified flying object over our Nation and immediately giving the order to lock on and fire.

So far, our military has downed a Ball’s Mills Naval Academy weather balloon floating over Lake Huron, a power ranger balloon that got away from the Macy’s Day Parade, and an 11-year-old child’s remotecontrol spaceship which spun in circles and really did appear to be a UFO. Our Commander in Chief at work exercising his power to keep our sovereign air space safe.

Meanwhile back at the ranch millions of Americans have their eyes to the skies looking for extraterrestrials and answers

about what’s really going on.

Transparency in government on full display, just like promised. This is where I must state government transparency and honesty is a bipartisan problem. Then you throw in the media, the internet, and social media and who knows what to believe.

Here are some common-sense facts I can share with everyone regarding our national airspace. There are more objects going across the sky than ever before. Most are natural occurrences that individuals take as unidentified flying somethings. Many are manmade, and the count is being added to on a daily basis. Some are identifiable, some are not. Some are used for spying, some are not.

The Chinese along with a list of other nations have been stealing American military and technology secrets for years. They have satellites that can see a flea on your dog’s butt while orbiting Earth. This is nothing new. Our Nation’s intelligence departments are spying on the same nations that are spying on us. The most important aspect of all this, is to hope and pray that our intelligence is better than theirs.

If you enjoy looking into the skies and trying to find stars, planets, or even

UFOs, I encourage you to do so. If you happen to see Superman, please let me know. We could really use his help.

What an absolute terrible tragedy the train derailment was in Ohio. The environmental ecological and financial effects will be felt for decades. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected.

Jim Webb Jr.

The stone-cold truth of the matter is you really don’t want to know what is going up-and-down our nation’s highways, railroads, ports of entry, or is being transported overhead. What happened in East Palestine, Ohio can happen anywhere. You hope and pray we have the best managed, safest transportation system and the best plan in place when an accident like this occurs.

Again, there is nothing any of us can really do about it, unless you work within the system. I hope that gives you a whole new respect and appreciation for the truck drivers that we all come in contact with each and every day and the emergency response personnel that deal with the aftermath of an accident. This again is where Americans want honesty and transparency. Especially if you’re in or near the accident site when a mishap occurs.

What did those worried about returning to their homes near the accident site in

Ohio receive from the Norfolk Southern Railroad and US Environmental Protection Agency? The downplaying of the situation. This included the EPA administrator Michael Regan asking the people most affected to “trust the government.” This while there are more hazmat suits within the neighborhoods affected than in a Hollywood movie. How about this, take off the hazmat suits, swim in the creeks and have a glass of water and move your family to East Palestine, then I will consider trusting you.

Did I mention the controlled burn of the train cars containing the hazardous materials and contaminants being spewed into the atmosphere?

All the current events happening across our Nation got me thinking, what are Americans most concerned about? I wrote a similar article last February and thought it would be a great topic to revisit with all that has been witnessed in the last year. Here’s the catch, this year’s column will feature the thoughts of women from across the West Branch Valley. It will be a balance of views from Democrat and Republican ladies about what worries them the most. And now that I’ve laid the groundwork, I’ll have that column for you next week.

Oh, and by the way, as soon as I have evidence of actual intergalactic spacecraft or little green men living amongst us, I will let you know.

Let’s all be safe out there. God Bless America.

Children’s Dental Health Month

By Steph Nordstrom

National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) began as a one-day event in Cleveland, Ohio, on February 3, 1941. The American Dental Association held the first national observance of Children’s Dental Health Day on February 8, 1949. The single day observance became a week-long event in 1955. In 1981, the program was extended to a month-long observance known today as National Children’s Dental Health Month.

Since 1941, the observance has grown from a two-city event into a nationwide program. NCDHM messages reach thousands of people in communities across the country and at numerous armed services bases.

Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. This basically comes down to good daily brushing habits, regular flossing and twice-yearly dentist visits.

Sipping, Snacking and Tooth Decay

Now more than ever, kids are faced with a bewildering array of food choices — from fresh produce to sugar-laden processed convenience meals and snack foods. What children eat and when they eat it may affect not only their general health but also their oral health.

Americans are consuming foods and drinks high in sugar and starches more often and in larger portions than ever before. It’s clear that junk foods and drinks gradually have replaced

nutritious beverages and foods for many people. For example, in the U.S., on average, individuals consume approximately 50 gallons of sugary beverages per year! Alarmingly, a steady diet of sugary foods and drinks can ruin teeth, especially among those who snack throughout the day. Common activities may contribute to the tendency toward tooth decay. These include grazing habitually on foods with minimal nutritional value, and frequently sipping on sugary drinks. Consuming too much sugar can also affect your overall health, such as becoming overweight/obese, or getting heart disease or type 2 diabetes.

When sugar is consumed over and over again in large, often hidden amounts, the harmful effect on teeth can be dramatic. Sugar on teeth provides food for bacteria, which produce acid. The acid in turn can eat away the enamel on teeth.

Almost all foods have some type of sugar that cannot and should not be eliminated from our diets. Many of these foods contain important nutrients and add enjoyment to eating. But there is a risk for tooth decay from a diet high in sugars and starches. Starches can be found in everything from bread to pretzels to salad dressing, so read labels and plan carefully for a balanced, nutritious diet for you and your kids.

A Diet for Tooth Decay

Store shelves are lined with snacks that just aren’t the best idea for your children’s dental health. Doctors and dentists suggest shying away from packaged foods loaded with sugars, carbs and preservatives. Even so, there are a

host of foods that seem outwardly healthy or benign that may still cause cavity-creating bacteria and plaque to form. Here are a few of the decidedly bad foods/drinks for your teeth that should be consumed in moderation and followed up with a good brushing!

– Gummy and Chewy Candies: When sugar comes in contact with the enamel, the decay process begins almost immediately. Prolonging that contact will go a long way to help bacteria and plaque linger. Sticky candies cement sugar to teeth, hastening tooth decay. Sour gummies are the worst culprits since they are coated with sugar to begin with!

– Crackers and Chips: It’s not just sugar that’s bad news. Chips and crackers are loaded with carbohydrates. These turn into sugar thanks to enzymes in saliva, and like gummies, they can stick to teeth for extended periods. Definitely consider brushing after chowing down on your favorite chips — especially Goldfish.

– Soda and Dark Colas: With corn syrup as one of the predominant ingredients, sodas are something to be avoided if possible. Because they’re liquid, sodas can get in between teeth in ways that other foods can’t.

– Sports/Energy Drinks: It may seem counterintuitive, but thirst quenchers are not health supplements. Sugar is the source for the energy in these drinks, and the acidity will eat away at enamel if parents and kids aren’t careful. While electrolytes may be helpful, tooth decay definitely isn’t!

Talk to your dentist for more information. If your child has not had a dental examination, schedule a well-baby checkup for his or her teeth. The American Dental Association says that it is beneficial for the first dental visit to occur before the child’s first birthday.

High

School Baseball Trailer Blazer Lee Whittington Sr.

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Being a trailblazer is never an easy thing. Still, Lee Whittington Sr. handled the task of being a pioneer for the Williamsport Area High School baseball team during the mid-1980s, when he became the first African American to play on that team.

He handled the task with class, dignity, and good humor and became a beloved and respected teammate in the process.

According to his wife, Kim, his coaches and teammates were supportive of him, and he set a good example for them. He played the positions of pitcher and centerfielder with grit and determination.

Kim noted it wasn’t easy for him,

though; when the team played on the road, Lee would receive some racially-tinged epithets from fans in the stands at these away ballparks, but it never seemed to faze him. It just made him that much more determined to excel and to prove these hecklers wrong, doing with deeds rather than words.

“Lee was an amazing guy. He was always an upbeat guy and always smiling,” Kim recalled. “He was a team leader and helped to set the tone for the team and had such a love for baseball and had a love for all things Williamsport.”

She said he carried over his love of baseball into helping coach youngsters at the Brandon Little League, something he enjoyed immensely. He always liked showing his enthusiasm for baseball and passing on his love of it to others.

Loyalsock Center │ 570-601-9590

His baseball talent landed him a baseball scholarship to Broome County Community College in Binghamton, New York. Unfortunately, during the course of his playing career there, he “blew out his arm” and lost his scholarship. He met the love of his life, Kim, in 1982, and by 1998 they were married. They had three children, Richelle, Lee Jr., and Michael and four grandchildren.

Kim stated, “He is so sadly missed by family and friends. Lee had a huge heart and a fun personality. He was so loved by many. If you ever wanted to find him, you just had to listen for the laughter; Lee always had a crowd around him, making everyone laugh. Life sure was fun with him, to say the least. He also always worked more than one job to provide for his family. He definitely was larger than life. He had the neat nickname, ‘the Brown Hornet.’”

He loved Williamsport High School and wanted to make sure that our children also graduated

from the Williamsport Area School District. Kim herself is an employee at Williamsport Area School District, working in Health and Physical Education.

He was recognized by Williamsport Area High School through a Senior Award – the “Lee R. Whittington Sr. Baseball Award.” It goes to a senior baseball player that exemplifies what it means to be a great teammate, is always positive, willing to help others, and exhibits great sportsmanship.

Sadly, Lee died in 2016 of Amyloidosis, a rare disease that occurs when a protein called amyloid builds up in organs. This amyloid buildup can make the organs not work properly. Organs that may be affected include the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system, and digestive tract.

But Lee left behind a wonderful and loving legacy, and in a sense, he is an unseen angel looking over the Williamsport High School baseball team, rooting them on to victory, just as he did in life.

At McCarty~Thomas Funeral Home we recognize that what matters most when losing a loved one is guidance and understanding. We appreciate the trust that families put in us each and every day, and we strive to be deserving of that trust.

A Motorist Suggests 1-Way Traffic on Market Street

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Following several suggestions for the traffic problem in Williamsport coming as a result of The Sun’s request to readers to write their ideas for this paper. More will be published tomorrow.

Editor, Williamsport Sun

My dear Sir, Replying to your invitation on the front pages of the Williamsport Sun on Saturday, as to the possible solutions of the traffic problem, I have the following suggestion. Make Market Street from Third to Fourth street, a one-way street, if necessary, having the trolley company double track it for that distance, this is in order that the Vallamont, East End and Cemetery cars need not make the loop, which is the greatest nuisance the motorists have to contend with at both Third and Pine and Fourth streets. After this nuisance were eliminated the Third Street car going west should stop on the far side of Pine Street, this meaning

that all traffic moving westward need not be held on the side of Pine Street and if they really were in a hurry they could go out Pine Street and up Fourth Street. To make Pine Street, one of the busiest streets in the city, one-way would be unfair to the motorist and would not really relieve the situation very much, as cars having business on Pine Street if it were made a one-way street would simply go around a block and come on Pine Street the way it was open and would not relieve the situation as to the number of cars moving over that section of the street.

I have driven a car over the city streets ever since moving here two years ago, and for the number of cars on the streets, must admit that it has the crudest system of a city I have ever visited.

Another thing is that the street cars invariably seem to have the right of way; that is fine in the summertime, but in the winter with the streets as they are at the present, they too should use judgement but to note the attitude of some of the motormen for just a short while would convince one why they are driving the street cars instead of their own.

Library Adds Ancestry Library Edition to Online Resources

In an effort to promote local genealogical research, the James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., has added a new free online resource through Ancestry Library Edition.

Patrons at the Brown Library or any library within the Lycoming County Library System can explore their family history from their local library’s website. Please note that this database is only available to access onsite in each member library. Patrons cannot ac-

cess it from home or the Bookmobile, Storymobile or the two satellite Link Libraries in Barbours or Pine Creek.

Brown Library patrons can use the library’s public access computers to visit Ancestry Library Edition here https://jvbrown.edu/online-resources/ or bring their own device to the library and visit that link while connected to the library’s Wi-Fi.

Ancestry Library Edition is a library database that is powered by the pop-

ular genealogy research website Ancestry.com. When you use Ancestry Library Edition at your library, you can search through billions of records that are available on Ancestry. com without paying for a personal subscription. Explore your ancestors’ birth records, search through cemetery data, and view other users’ family trees to discover and uncover your own roots. Since Library Edition is a database, it doesn’t support some of the features of a personal subscription such as building your own tree within Ancestry and messaging other users, but it is still a powerful tool in getting started researching your family history.

Library staff can help with learning how to navigate the site, but are not available to conduct research for patrons. Patrons who would like library staff to conduct genealogy or local history research for them can learn more about research services and fees at https://jvbrown.edu/genealogy/.

This is one of the many ways the library supports the PA Forward Initiative through providing information literacy opportunities for learning. When Pennsylvania residents know how to use current technology to improve their education and enhance

their skills, they can fully participate in a digital society.

The James V. Brown Library is open for browsing and holds pick up from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. To place a hold, visit www.jvbrown. edu or call 570-326-0536 during the library’s operating hours. The library also is open for public computer usage and for services such as printing, faxing, copying and scanning. Walk-in passport services are available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through and from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.

The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., Williamsport, Pa., is the place to go to learn, connect and grow. Founded in June 1907, the library champions the love of reading, opens new doors to lifelong learning, provides a haven to those who seek and ensures the preservation of public library services for future generations. The library has more than 225,000 visitors in a year and circulates a half-million items annually. A member of the Lycoming County Library System, the James V. Brown Library participates in PA Forward, a statewide initiative to promote literacies in our communities to power a better future for everyone.

Soul: Freedom and Eternity

Note: This is the third article in a series entitled “The Five Investments.” Previous articles are always available at www.webbweekly.com.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater

than these.” Mark 12:30-31.

“Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being (soul).” Genesis 2:7

“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Matthew 10:28

In these verses, the word soul is trans-

lated from the Hebrew word nephesh and the Greek word psuche, and both point to the divine impartation of God’s essence into the human –making us a being.

It is the soul that most reveals our made-in-the-image-of-God design and sets us apart from the natural world. Even though our bodies are made of earth’s minerals, and we will return to the ground when our bodies die (Genesis 3:19), we know that the soul existing within us is not of the natural world. We have been animated by God’s essence, which makes us incredibly unique— truly an amazing investment!

Jesus breathed on the disciples after the resurrection and imparted to them the Holy Spirit. See John 20:22. On the day of Pentecost, “a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.” Acts 2:2. The Greek word pneuma is often translated as breath, wind, or spirit—God breathing Himself, His essence, into

us.

While there is great speculation in religion and philosophy regarding the soul, for the purposes of this article, we will view it as God investing into us His free, unlimited, eternal, and always new essence.

Freedom is of the highest value to God. Our freedom is why Jesus came. See Galatians 5:1. Consider the poem on the Statue of Liberty and the statement, “Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” It is the soul in the human that yearns to be free.

Eternity gives us the sense of being without end. It is the human soul that is aware of and longs for eternity and resists the concept of death and the grave. The soul knows that death should not be a part of the human story.

Of all the investments, the soul, free and eternal, is the most mysterious and uncharted—existing beyond the realm of our limited understanding. How can we obey the command to love God with all of our soul when we’re not even sure what it is?

Thankfully, God did not leave the answer simply to our imagination. His Word gives us clear directions on how

Tim Hartzell

we can love Him with all of our soul. I don’t have room in this article to comment on each point, so I will leave God’s Word to speak for itself.

To love God with all of your soul:

1.Rest your soul in its home.

Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress; I will never be shaken. See Psalm 62.

Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. John 4:14

2.Restore your soul with rest.

By the seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing. So on that day, he rested from all his work. Genesis 2:2

But the news about Jesus spread even more. So crowds of people came to hear him. They also came to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often went away to be by himself and pray. Luke 5:15-16

3. Reconcile your soul in personal unity.

With the tongue, we praise our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse hu-

man beings who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. James 2:9-12

4. Release your soul into courageous faith.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it (the demon) out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:19-21 Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:12-14

How Do You Measure Success?

Ihave written quite a lot in the past about success, goal setting, and similar topics, and what I have come to realize is that their connection to satisfaction is ultimately how we measure it. All too often, I come across people in the news, on TV, and in life who are successful by all normal metrics. They have a big house, a fat bank account, and a beautiful spouse. But then we find out they are actually miserable. How is this possible? Don’t they have everything society values?

What is actually happening is that there are conflicting values at play. There are the

things by which we measure success and happiness, and there are the things by which society measures success and happiness. In my example, the wealthy person with a big house and an attractive spouse has what society says should make them happy. By society’s measures, they are successful, yet they are still unsatisfied. If, however, they changed their measure of success to be more in line with their values instead of what society tells them to value, they would most likely find satisfaction. Admittedly, this can be a challenge.

beautiful, smiling people that are driving high-end cars and living in expensive houses.

Advertisements tell us that we could be happy if we only had the latest device or product or wore the right clothes. We are told that if our lives are less than perfect, happiness is just a click away. Ultimately, we have the power to change everything that makes us who we are because, according to society, who we are isn’t good enough.

So, how do we correct this? We need to change how we measure success. This will be somewhat different for everyone. Don’t get me wrong, money is important, but only if it allows us to obtain the things we need and, occasionally, the things we want. Beyond that, it does not contribute much to our lives. Just look at the headlines as a celebrity commits suicide seemingly every other day. We need to think deeply about what is truly important to us. Is it our spouse, children, friends, a job we love, or volunteering? Then, use that to measure success.

Is our relationship with our partner healthy? Do we care about the other person more than ourselves and vice versa? Are our children well-adjusted and thriving? Do we help people throughout the day? Ultimately, is the world better because we are in it?

These are questions we need to ask; not how you can gain more material possessions. Again, there is nothing wrong with having things, but value needs to be placed on relationships. If those relationships are strong, then you can look in the mirror and feel confident that you are successful.

As a funny side note, I was recently quoting Tyler Durden to my son. If you don’t recognize the name, you might recognize the title of the book, and later movie, of which he was one of the main characters — “Fight Club.” The book was written by Chuck Palahniuk in 1996 and was made into a movie that was released in 1999. The story is told by an unnamed narrator that hates his job and is generally dissatisfied with life. At the risk of spoiling the book and the movie, the main character develops an alter ego, Tyler Durden, that is everything the narrator wishes he could be. As silly as this sounds, there were a few lines of sage wisdom that writer Palahniuk came up with. I paraphrase, “You are not your job; you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet — advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate, so we can buy stuff we don’t need, to impress people we don’t like.” So, measure your success by the value you bring to your relationships. Help people every chance you get. You don’t need to fix everything; just try to fix some things. Last, play a small but active part in making the world a better place. As those relationships grow stronger and multiply, so will your success and satisfaction in life.

RUPERT’S SPECIALTY MEATS

Life’s Simple Pleasures

This morning I woke up and put on my favorite aqua blue fuzzy, cozy robe. I was struggling to get out of bed. Five days off work, most of them taking care of my sick little girl, had me off my schedule. It’s always a struggle to get back at it after a longer break.

When I walked downstairs, I walked right over to our thermostat and turned the heat down. My husband looked at me like, “What are you doing?” But before he said anything, I said, “Is it hot in here, or is it just me?” He thought it felt fine, but my thermostat always runs higher than anyone else, to begin with.

After both loads of my sheets were done, I headed outside to hang them on the line. I knew it was going to be a sunny day and thought I had a good chance of them drying on a February day. There is nothing like sheets hanging on the line all day and then crawling into bed that night. This is truly one of life’s simple pleasures. As I opened our sliding glass door out back and walked outside, I could not believe how warm it was. I was thinking, “No wonder it was warm inside! Holy cow. How long was I off work for? Did I sleep clear till spring?” This was definitely not a February morning. As I flopped the basket of sheets on the top of our hot tub cover, I could hear the birds

McElroy

just going crazy. I’ve been starting to hear them more and more, but this morning was different. “Theodore! Theodore!” A bird out in our woods was looking for her man or something because she just kept at. Man, Theodore must have been in big doo doo! HA! You all know what bird I’m talking about, but I couldn’t tell you the name of it. It was so refreshing listening as I hung our sheets on the line. Hearing a new kind of bird told me spring was just around the corner.

I worked all day inside but got to open the door and look out the windows to take in the sunshine. It was so refreshing and gave me the energy I needed to get back at it after my time off. It’s been so cloudy and dreary lately, and that sunshine is just what we all needed!

It was 2:30, I had a few more hours of work, and I was done. I worked later that day because my daughter’s bus never came, so I had to take her to school, which caused me to be late for work. I have pretty amazing bosses that are, yeah, amazing, so I never have to worry about work drama. My jobs are the most flexible and perfect for having a family. I mean, gee whiz, I had to call off Tuesday and then come in late on Wednesday. Wednesday, I worked

Sunday – 75¢ Fresh Bone-In Wings (All Day) • Breakfast Menu All Day

for myself but still called my houses, saying I would be late. They are always so understanding, and I just stayed later even though they said I didn’t have to.

At 2:30, my phone was ringing. It was my momma. I didn’t answer because Cindy Watz, one of my bosses, came into the house to talk to me. I work for her and her husband’s business Tuesdays and Thursdays and clean for her and other families on Wednesdays. Cindy is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. She and her entire family have truly become special people in my life who I see at least two to three days a week.

Cindy told me to go ahead and answer my

phone, but I didn’t want to be rude as she and I were having a nice conversation as I was cleaning her kitchen. I told her I would call her back later and that my momma was probably just calling to check-in.

At 4:30, I left, and I couldn’t wait to be outside. I got into my car, rolled the windows down immediately, and needed a song to get me to Weis. “Summer Breeze” came on my Spotify. Boy, if that wasn’t the most perfect song to play with the weather! On my two-mile drive to Weis from work, I saw six bikes. How refreshing to see after months of cold weather.

I walked into Weis, grabbed what I needed, and headed back out to my car.

Windows back down, music up, and my hand out the window, soaking up every ounce of sunshine and air that was blowing off the top of my hand. It felt like a therapy session. Usually, I call my momma on my way home from work, but I was being selfish. I wouldn’t be able to hear her with my windows down, and I only had about an hour of daylight left. I turned the music up louder and enjoyed my entire ride home. I soaked up every moment. Life was giving me a simple pleasure — a warm day in February which rarely happens. Momma would understand.

As soon as I got home, I started dinner and called her right away.

“Hey! I waited to hear from you after work, and you never called,” my mom said.

I told her why I couldn’t answer and that I was being selfish on my way home from work. She giggled and made some type of smart remark but completely understood.

“I figured you were just calling to check in; I’m sorry,” I said.

“Well, I was, but I wanted to see if you were stopping at the store and was going to ask you to pick something up for me,” she said. Whoopsies. I felt so bad but told her to leave me a message or text me if that happened. “I’m up in Jersey Shore again tomorrow; I’ll just stop then,” I told her. She was very appreciative, and I didn’t mind at all. My momma is having a special Valentine’s dinner for us tomorrow night, and that was the least I could do for her.

I told her I would stop after work, then call her on my drive home.

The sunshine is gone, and now we have

two days of rain coming. We have to enjoy life’s simple pleasures while we can — anything to give us happiness in this world. Sometimes we have to stop and take that time for ourselves. Just a simple ride home with your windows down and favorite songs on the stereo while enjoying the sunshine is all a girl needs. I felt renewed. It was a perfect February day — a pleasure for sure.

Five Films for February: Films Honoring Black History

This week, your Webb movie-guy continues to focus on underthe-radar films; so here are a few lesser-known titles honoring Black History Month:

“Belle” (2013) – Unbelievable real-life story of England’s Dido Elizabeth Belle. Illegitimate daughter of an African slave and an 18th-century admiral, Dido was raised a free gentlewoman in the upperclass household of her uncle, William Murray. Incredibly, as Britain’s Lord Chief Justice, Murray then presided over a notorious court case involving 142 blacks who’d perished aboard a slave ship. Not just about race, this beautifully acted film also covers portraiture, young love, and sibling rivalry. With Gugu MbathaRaw, Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson and Matthew Goode.

“Glory Road” (2016) – Another of Hollywood’s countless true sportsunderdog stories, “Glory Road” chronicles the 1965-66 run of the first black basketball team to reach the NCAA playoffs. With no recruiting budget, former college girls’ coach Dan Haskins (Josh Lucas) is tapped to run the boys’ team at Texas Western, where he starts hand-picking unknowns from high schools, street games and YMCAs. Aghast at his audacity, one white administrator cries, “You carryin’ on like Negroes gonna be the future of

basketball — can you imagine that?”

Co-starring Jon Voight and Derek Luke, “Glory Road” makes that easy to imagine indeed.

“Just Mercy” (2019) – During the summer-long protests over the death of George Floyd, this true story about a black man unjustly convicted of murder became so painfully relevant that distributors streamed it free over numerous platforms. So, it’s fairly well known, but nonetheless neglected, as it failed to garner a single Oscar nom despite a sensational cast including Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson; Tim Blake Nelson dazzles as a witness whom police pressured into to providing false testimony.

Ironically, the protagonist’s arrest, conviction and subsequent retrial all occurred in Monroeville, Alabama, which prides itself on being the birthplace of Harper Lee — and the inspiration for her racial-justice novel “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

“Sidewalk Stories” (1989) – Charming modern silent film starring and directed by the wondrous Charles Lane, who recalls silent-master Buster Keaton in frame after black-and-white frame. Lane plays a good-hearted homeless man who ekes out a living painting portraits on the street; one night after witnessing a murder, he winds up caring for the dead man’s three-

year-old daughter, all the while struggling to locate the girl’s mother.

This unique film is not only audaciously silent; it doesn’t even have title cards! Dialog is conveyed entirely through gesture, expression and lip-work. And the tiny actress is frankly astonishing.

Despite some surprising R-rated content in one scene, “Sidewalk” richly deserves its 100% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

“Till” (2022) – My favorite film from

last year narrates the dreadful saga of Emmett Till, a black youth who in 1955 was tortured, lynched and dumped in a Mississippi river after allegedly flirting with a white housewife.

Danielle Deadwyler sets a stunning gold standard for female leads; she plays Till’s mother, who helped launch the imminent civil rights movement with her decision to hold an open-casket funeral displaying her son’s mutilated body.

Despite this, the film is generally restrained — refusing to show us the actual lynching; yet it brews up a shattering emotional cyclone. Why Deadwyler did not secure a well-deserved Oscar nod this year is beyond me. Both she and this film deserve a wider audience.

Positive relationships with family members, friends, and your community are beneficial to your overall health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that social connectedness promotes making healthy choices plus the ability to cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma.

Your Social Check-Up

Just as you gain a better understanding of your physical health and wellbeing through regular check-ups with your provider, you can learn to better understand your social wellbeing by checking-up and checking-in on how you approach your interactions with others. How relational we are with others stems from our ability to listen to others, empathize, and be present when we interact.

Below are several communication skills to practice to create or improve positive social interactions:

Learn to Listen: Do you listen actively? This entails not just hearing the words spoken to you but comprehending the intentions of the person you are speaking with. Ultimately, listen to understand, not just to respond.

Actions and Reactions Matter: Body language, although often subtle, is a key component of how others perceive us. Practice making eye contact, facing the person you are speaking with, and tilting your head toward the speaker. These actions show that you are actively engaged in the discussion.

Emotions Show You Care: Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and show empathy with others. Can you put yourself in the shoes of others and realize what they might be going though in their daily life? Your appropriate response to others’ perspectives can benefit your interpersonal connections.

Not sure where you stand with how you relate to others? A good place to start in building awareness is with some of these common daily occurrences that can highlight areas where there’s room for improvement.

Phone usage: Do you use your phone as a way to avoid interactions? Do you always keep your headphones on? Try to disconnect if you’re putting more of an effort toward building relationships and being present with new people.

Humor: Do you use humor at inappropriate times? This is a mechanism that may be used to dissolve your own social anxiety; however, it could create awkward interac-

tions if not deployed fittingly.

You’re the topic: It’s fine to talk about what’s going on in your life, but is there a balance between your news and your discussion partner’s news? Ask about what’s going on with them and listen genuinely.

Tips for Building Relationships

If you’ve checked-in honestly with yourself and you’re looking to commit to improving your social wellbeing, it’s important to focus on small, manageable actions and goals that overtime can build into larger change. Try out a few of the following tips to help build social connections and put your skills into action:

– Introduce yourself and start conversations with new people.

– Plan regular meet ups with friends – coffee dates, lunches, etc.

– Take long walks with your family.

– Choose people time instead of screen time.

– Take new classes or join a club or gym in your community.

– Go to events in your town.

– Volunteer for causes that interest you.

– Reach out to family members or friends that you haven’t spoken to in a while.

It’s never too late to start building relationships and your social circle. It’s okay to take baby steps at first.

et parents often show love for their pets with food. However, that extra “love” can lead to weight gain, which can increase the risk of developing other medical conditions.

More than 50% of pets are overweight, but 90% of pet parents with an overweight pet don’t realize it, according to research from Hill’s Pet Nutrition, a global leader in science-led nutrition.

To help transform the lives of pets, Drs. Vernard Hodges and Terrence Ferguson, stars of Nat Geo Wild’s “Critter Fixers:

Country Vets,” are encouraging pet parents to take a proactive approach to maintaining their pet’s weight.

“As veterinarians, we want every pet to live a long and healthy life,” Hodges said.

“That’s why pet parents should actively monitor their pet’s weight and address it in real time with the guidance of their veterinarian. We are proud to be a part of Hill’s ‘End Pet Obesity’ campaign to help pet parents learn about the impact of even a few extra pounds and equip them with the tools and resources they need to help

their pets achieve and maintain a healthy weight.”

Consider these simple steps to get started: Take the L.O.V.E. Test

To help assess a pet’s weight, use the L.O.V.E. Test, which includes four simple actions:

– Locate the pet’s ribs

– Observe from above

– View from the side

– Evaluate feeding behavior

“Sometimes, under all their beautiful fur, it’s hard to realize our pets have gained weight, and even just a few extra pounds can have an impact on their energy and overall wellness,” Ferguson said. “Taking the L.O.V.E test is an easy way to evaluate a pet’s body condition to determine if it’s time to take action.”

Schedule a Visit with a Veterinarian

Pet parents who have concerns about their pet’s weight should seek their veterinarian’s guidance. Conversation starters include:

– Is my pet at an ideal weight?

– How can I help my pet reach an ideal weight?

– How can food help manage my pet’s weight?

Switch to the Right Food

“Obesity is one of the greatest health risks for pets, and what a pet eats is one of the most important decisions a pet parent can make,” Ferguson said. “Whether your pet is a new addition to the family or has just eaten a little too much, now is a great time for pet parents to reset nutritional habits and make sure their pet is at a healthy weight - starting with the food they feed.”

Pet parents should work with their veterinarian to choose the right food to support their pet’s weight loss journey. Weight management products can help pets achieve an ideal weight, which has shown to lead to weight loss within 10 weeks in 70% of pets fed this nutritional food. For obese pets, veterinarians may recommend a therapeutic food.

“We have been studying the impact of nutrition on how pets’ bodies function for over a decade,” said Dr. Karen Shenoy, chief veterinary officer of Hill’s Pet Nutrition U.S. “We learned lean pets have a different biology than overweight pets. This guided our development of formulas that both help support a pet’s metabolism for a healthy body weight and taste great. With the guidance of a veterinarian, it can be as simple as feeding the right kind of ‘love’ to lose the weight.”

However, during the winter months, nails are extremely susceptible to chipping and breaking. With temperature variations going from indoors to outdoors and back again and humidity fluctuations, polish can expand and contract, losing its freshly painted sheen. Plus, there’s more hand washing in the midst of cold, flu, RSV, and coronavirus season. Nails are way more absorbent of water than skin and can dry out faster, becoming prone to brittleness, peeling, and breakage. So, as you can imagine, it can be quite the feat to keep polish on your nails, let alone looking fresh in winter. Here is a rundown of some tricks and treatments for healthy winter nails.

To make your manicure last as long in the colder months as it does in warmer seasons, go with a good-quality base coat. In the summer, you can get away with a run-of-the-mill clear polish as a base

and topcoat, but nowadays, I’m looking for a product infused with vitamins to give my nails extra strength. Sally Beauty has Morgan Taylor React Breathable 3-in-1 treatment, which boasts renewing vitamin A and moisturizing vitamin E. I like this as a base, a topcoat, or simply a treatment; no polished required. Target has ESSIE All-In-One top and base coat that’s infused with argan oil to strengthen and shields nails and also works as both your base and topcoats. The point of a base coat is to smooth your nail like a pristine blank canvas, so polish goes on smoothly.

Apply two coats of polish, making sure the nail is fully dry before the second round. More than two coats will dry out your nail and your nail bed.

If you’re hoping to have a more vibrant color with multiple coats, chances are you just need a better or newer polish. Old polish will thin out and streak when applied. During the winter months, I prefer a dramatic nail in a bold shade like magenta or cobalt blue. Sally Hensen’s One Step Miracle Gel is my goto brand for polish, but lately, I’ve been flirting with Londontown Inc.’s Nude

Mood Trio in shades of chai, mud, and beige for a more subtle bit of color.

Once polish is applied and dried, then comes the topcoat to seal your manicure. A topcoat helps color last longer, and it can also protect against UV rays and water. If you’ve picked up a 2-in-1 or allaround nail lacquer for your base, that’ll serve you just as well as a top coat.

To maintain your manicure, avoid getting your nails wet by wearing gloves while doing the dishes or any chores involving water. Also, wear gloves outside, as protecting your hands and nails in cold weather will keep polish from chipping and flaking.

Once polish does start to flake, be

sure to remove it completely. I tend to give my nails a few weeks to breathe in between manicures. During this break, you can strengthen nails with cuticle oil. I like Olive & June Cuticle Serum from Target. It’s lightweight and features a soft foam tip for controlled application, which you can use daily on bare nails. Or pull out the big guns, and by guns, I mean muscles, and by muscles, I mean protein, with Nailtiques Nail Protein Formula #2. This treatment is packed with corn and soybean protein in addition to soybean oil for a non-harsh formula to combat brittleness. A strong, smooth nail is the best way to preserve your manicure, no matter the season.

What Women Need to Know About Stroke Risks

It may not be widely known that women face unique risk factors for stroke throughout their lifetime. Things like pregnancy, preeclampsia and chronic stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure, a leading cause of stroke.

Cardiovascular disease, including stroke, is the leading cause of death among women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and 1 in 5 women will have a stroke. However, a large majority of strokes can be prevented.

Caring for yourself by understanding your risk factors can help reduce your risk for stroke and provide a better quality of life. Start managing your stroke risk with these tips from the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association: Monitor Your Blood Pressure

The first step you can take in reducing your risk for stroke is knowing your blood pressure and keeping it in a healthy range. High blood pressure is the No. 1 preventable cause of stroke, according to the American Heart Association.

The best way to know your blood pressure is to have it measured at least once per year by a health care professional and regularly monitor it at home then discuss the numbers with a doctor. For most people, a normal blood pressure should be 120/80 mm HG or less.

In addition to properly monitoring

blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, eating healthfully and reducing or eliminating alcohol and tobacco usage can help control blood pressure. If you do develop high blood pressure, work with a health care

In the United States, high blood pressure during pregnancy is becoming more common, according to the CDC, and medical conditions including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and blood clots during pregnancy all increase stroke risk during

Managing conditions like high blood pressure before getting pregnant helps keep you and your baby healthy during pregnancy and beyond. In addition, your health during and immediately after a pregnancy can shape the lifelong health of you and your child. If you’re planning to become pregnant or are currently pregnant, it’s important to regularly monitor your

Some stress is unavoidable but constant stress is not healthy. Chronic or constant stress may lead to high blood pressure and other unhealthy behavior choices, which

Based on findings in a Stress in America 2020 survey conducted by the American Psychological Association, the top

sources of stress are money, work, family responsibilities and health concerns. Managing your stress and blood pressure can improve your overall health and wellbeing. Reclaim control of your schedule and build in time to invest in your health. Find 10 minutes every day to do something for you, like listening to music, meditating or going for a walk.

Learn the Warning Signs

A stroke can happen to anyone at any point in life. Immediate treatment may help minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death. Learn how to spot a stroke F.A.S.T:

* Face drooping - Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven?

* Arm weakness - Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

* Speech difficulty - Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence like “The sky is blue.”

* Time to call 911 - If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 911 and get to a hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.

The Link Between Agriculture and Food Security

The world faces many unique challenges in the decades to come, including a rapidly expanding global population. The United Nations estimates that the global population will reach 9.71 billion in 2050. That’s an increase of more than 1.7 billion people between 2023 and 2050.

Food security is among the more significant challenges the world will face as the population increases. The

United States Agency for International Development notes that food security means all individuals, regardless of their physical or economic circumstances, have access to sufficient food to meet the dietary needs for a productive, healthy life. Food security is a more significant issue than people may recognize, even in first world, fully developed countries.

For example, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service indicates that slightly

more than 10 percent of U.S. households were food insecure at some point during 2021. In fact, estimates suggest more than 800 million people across the globe go to bed hungry every night, which underscores the seriousness of the issue. Agriculture and food security

Food security and the agricultural industry are inextricably linked. The USAID indicates that most of the people who go to bed hungry at night are smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture to make a living and feed themselves and their families.

Supporting efforts to strengthen the agricultural industry can help to combat food security, as the USAID reports that growth within that sector has been found to be at least twice as effective at reducing poverty as growth in other sectors. Much of that can be traced to the disproportionate percentage of poor people who live in rural rather than urban areas. For example, the USAID reports that 75 percent of poor people in developing nations live in rural areas.

But the poverty rate is higher in rural areas than urban areas in the United States as well. Data from the 2019 American Community Survey indicates the poverty rate in rural areas was 15.4 percent in 2019 compared to

11.9 percent in urban areas. Though recent data regarding rural poverty rates in Canada is unavailable, a 2013 discussion paper on the topic from the Government of Canada noted that the country’s rural residents earned less and had lower levels of education than residents in urban areas, suggesting that poverty is likely more prevalent in the Canadian countryside than in the country’s cities.

What can be done

Though food security poses a significant global challenge, lack of access to healthy foods is preventable. Individuals in rural and urban communities can voice their support for efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector. A thriving agricultural sector can ensure fewer people go to bed hungry each night and bolster the economies of rural communities that are disproportionately affected by poverty.

County Hall Corner: A Killer in Our Midst

By Larry Stout

If there were a known serial killer in our area, all of us would be up in arms. Parents would be protecting their children 24/7. Everyone with a carrying permit would be carrying. What would you say if I told you that this killer has taken the lives of seven Lycoming County residents in the past five weeks? Would we not be alarmed? Would we not demand something be done?

The killer is illegal drugs, which has become a huge plague for our country and our local area. At the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on Thursday, February 9th, Kate Nickels from the Coroner’s Office was asking for funding approval for an agreement with Steelfusion Clinical Toxicology Laboratory to determine if these overdose deaths could result in prosecution against the suppliers.

The request was a budgeted item and thus routine, but Commissioner Metzger took the opportunity to comment that there are 300 people who die daily in the United States from overdoses. He made the analogy

of an airplane crashing. Imagine a plane crashing every day and killing 300 people each time. Surely the government would shut down the airlines overnight and investigate, but we don’t see that here. Metzger noted that the border continues to be bringing these drugs over, and the cartels are prospering as a result.

The statistics back up Metzger’s point. According to the CDC, 110,236 people in the United States died of drug overdoses and drug poisonings last year, which would average out to 302 deaths per day. If this is not bad enough, these numbers keep going up each year. In 2021 it was 80,816, and in 2020 it was 70,029. In fact, the total number of deaths has almost doubled in the past four years. It begs the question — why?

There are three suspects involved in this crime. The first is the buyers. Yes, these are people with serious problems, and they definitely need any help that we as a society can give them. But they have to look for help, and when they do not, they are feeding the supply stream that meets their narcotic needs.

The second category is the suppliers,

which Metzger highlighted. A recent NPR report cited experts noting that Mexican drug trafficking cartels are still able to smuggle the deadly synthetic opioid into the U.S. with relative impunity. A staggering 67 percent of those deaths involved synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Some of these deaths were attributed to fentanyl mixed with other illicit drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin, with many users unaware they were actually taking fentanyl. Only two milligrams of fentanyl is considered a potentially lethal dose; it’s particularly dangerous for someone who does not have a tolerance to opioids. Sadly, addicts are using fentanyl more than any other drug because it is the most accessible.

The third group is our elected officials in Washington, D.C., and the Biden Administration in particular.

The spike began in 2021 and it was not because of COVID. The highest number of immigrants crossing the border in history occurred that year, and a record number also came from countries other than Mexico. Amazing spikes took place from countries such as Ecuador (four times over), Brazil, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba (three times over), etc.

And why is this happening? An “open door” policy initiated in 2021 resulted in some 5 million foreign nationals pouring into the United States in the past two years. And with it came illegal drug dealers who saw this opportunity and literally made a ‘killing.’ Unfortunately, Philadelphia was one of the drug dealers’ key headquarters, and from there, they migrate their products to our area because this is the largest population base in the transportation connection of Route 80 and 15. Securing a border is the government’s responsibility, and anyone who has not been in a coma for the past several years knows that there apparently is virtually nothing stopping this continual stream of illegal narcotics into the country from our southern border.

So, the plane will just keep crashing every day with another 300 victims. But the pilot flying it walks away every time.

“And Finally: Matters of Life and Death” by Henry Marsh c.2023, St. Martin’s Press $27.99

240 pages

You’ve always done it this way. It’s quick, to-the-point, and concise. If A, then B, and there’s no emotion needed, no waffling, no waste of time. Explanations, news-delivery, decisions made, it’s all the same: state the truth and then move on. It’s efficient, until — as in the new book “And Finally” by

Henry Marsh — you’re standing on the receiving end of the words.

Many decades ago, when Henry Marsh was learning to be a neurosurgeon, there were processes he was taught and mannerisms he picked up from the physicians who schooled him. Through example, he learned efficiency, endurance, and how to talk to patients.

Now well past seventy and retired, Marsh has learned truths about these things the hard way.

Don’t, for instance, look at your own brain scans. You don’t want to know what’s in them, he says, especially if you’re over 60 because you probably are not the outlier you

think you are. You’ve aged, your brain has shrunk, and that’s “just too frightening.”

Another thing: don’t put off the care you need.

At the end of the COVID lockdown in Great Britain, Marsh finally sought care for a problem he’d known about but had made excuses for: his prostate was giving him problems. That he halfway expected the diagnosis of cancer didn’t make it easier but knowing that prostate cancer is a common “disease of old men” eased his worries some.

Once doctor became patient, though, his eyes were opened. Now on the other side of things, Marsh was shocked to see, firsthand, the overly-efficient, businesslike way that patients are often treated. He could “see just... how little doctors understand about what their patients are going through.”

When he was still doing neurosurgery, Marsh says that only one patient was brave enough to tell him, face-to-face, what she thought of him. Most people, he realized, were just to stunned at their diagnoses to have the presence of mind to even ask

And when he suddenly became a patient

That sound you just heard is that of patients everywhere yelling, “Heck, yes!” And yet, this book is not a manifesto, nor is it sad and depressing; in fact, there’s plenty of wry humor inside here, and hope, and a happy

But long before you get to that point, there’s “And Finally,” is a stream-of-consciousness meditative sigh of a book about getting older and the pure futility of fighting it, as well as

an AHA! moment mixed with a very stern scolding for former colleagues who “can do better.” Author Henry Marsh muses with appealing randomness that runs from his former career to his obsession with beautiful wood and the half-finished projects he hopes to finish before he dies. He marvels and ponders and wonders if we realize how living a long life is “not necessarily a good thing.”

But this book is, and readers who think about such things will agree. “And Finally,” will speak to your mind in a way that’s rarely done.

The Roving Sportsman The North Versus the South

By Jon Pries

There are many times that people draw references to the differences between the North and the South. History points out some of the cultural differences and certainly the Civil War brought to head the clash of diverse ideals held by the Confederate soldiers and the Union soldiers, as well as those who supported one side

or the other. Those things are pretty well relegated now to history books. Today, when someone is referred to as a “Yankee” or as a “Rebel,” it is most often said in jest – in a light hearted manner, with no ill intentions. In reality, as I have traveled throughout the South over the years, I can truly say that Southerners and Northerners have common core values and senses of humor. There are good folks everywhere.

However, that is not really what I wanted to talk about. What I truly want to point out are the opportunities that about and the differences that exist. Growing up in north central Pennsylvania provided an excellent backdrop for the formative years of youth and there was an abundance of outside activities to keep a budding explorer and outdoor enthusiast quite busy. But, there was a point at which I became aware of a group of individuals and families that were known in both the North and the South as “Snowbirds.” At the time, it

just didn’t make sense to me. “Why, for Heaven’s sake would anyone want to run away from all of the fun winter time activities that the cool temperatures and frequent snowfalls provided?” I thought.

Then, as time slipped by – decade after decade – it slowly became clear to me. One’s blood does not seem to flow as well, joints tend to ache in the colder temperatures and the joy of chipping ice and shoveling snow just wasn’t as much fun as it once was. In fact, it had evolved into nothing less and nothing more than a chore!

Suddenly, being a “Snowbird” made all the sense in the world!

To the fishermen in the North who were restricted to fishing for their prey through a hole in the ice, there was a true cornucopia of fishing in fresh and salt water that was available by merely heading south to a warmer climate! Throughout the South, there exists world-class fishing for bass, tarpon, bonefish, snook, sharks, cobia, and mahi-mahi - and on and on… Hunters in the north country who have had their fill of snow, mud, ice and freezing temperatures can travel to many locations throughout the southern states to take up hunting for feral hogs (truly an exciting time –and the meat they provide is excellent table fare), quail hunting, hunting for numerous exotic species on many large ranches and begin the spring gobbler season in several states where the season starts well ahead of ours in Pennsylvania.

flourishes throughout the South. Then there is the weather. Up North, one is continually subjected to more inches of snow, the occasional ice storm and the constant overcast skies and sometimes bone-chilling temperatures. Throughout most of Florida and along the saltwater beaches throughout the South, nighttime temperatures often sink to a pleasant mid-60s and daytime temperatures rise to the high 70s and low 80s – usually under “bluebird” skies.

Outdoors with Ken Hunter…

Eagle Watch

When my wife and I head off somewhere in a vehicle, I’m usually quick to grab the passenger seat, and for good reason — I like to gaze around, looking for whatever wildlife I can spot as we head down the road. I’m always looking for turkeys, deer and other wildlife, including winged critters flying overhead or perched in a tree.

Of course, when checking the sky for large flying birds, one of the most interesting sightings is that of a bald eagle; most interesting probably because I and a lot of others remember a time when such a sighting was extremely rare. These days sightings of eagles are not all that unusual, but I’m still surprised sometimes when people tell me they rarely ever see an eagle.

Hardly a week or two goes by when I don’t spot at least one or more eagles as I travel the local area, but I’ll be honest — I’m looking for them, and I have tried to educate myself as to what to look for when I spot a large bird in flight.

I suspect that when a lot of people think of seeing an eagle, they right away look for the white head and white tail; that’s the case if you are looking at a mature

eagle, but not so for immature eagles.

Immature eagles are brown, mottled with white on their wings and body; full adult plumage, that bright white head, and tail may not show up entirely until the fifth year.

Bear in mind, too, that a golden eagle may occasionally show up in Pennsylvania; although similar in size and flight, mature and immature goldens have rich, dark brown plumage with gold-tipped feathers on the head and neck. When viewing the underside of an immature golden, you may spot a white band at the base of the tail and a white band at the base of the wing tips.

Ken Hunter

Some other things you might want to look for to help you identify that large bird flying overhead is the shape of the tail.

Eagles are in the same taxonomic category as hawks, with broad wings and broad, rounded tails.

Something else to look for when gazing at a flying bird is the flight pattern or “how” it flies. Eagles are no doubt sometimes mistaken for our common turkey vulture when flying high overhead, but vultures will soar with wings held above the horizontal, forming a V-pattern, and the

vultures often rock and tilt unsteadily in the air. Eagles’ wings have a more horizontal pattern and are more stable while soaring.

Another large bird that is possibly sometimes mistaken for an eagle is the osprey. Ospreys, like eagles, can often be found soaring over lakes and streams in search of the same prey as eagles; they both like fish and will often drop down to the surface to grab a meal. While fishing on several nearby lakes, my fishing companions and I have often seen both eagles and ospreys soaring and diving and often times perched in trees overlooking the lake.

The osprey is a bit smaller than the eagle, and the head is white with a black patch

across each cheek. In flight, the wings are more crooked, and black appears on the underside of the wingtips and along the back of the wing. In-flight ospreys flap more than they sail; wingbeats are slow and deep.

Hopefully, this will make identifying an eagle, especially one in flight, a bit easier. Of course, if you are the one doing the looking, have your partner or a friend do the driving.

In the meantime, this past weekend, while my wife and I were on the way to Hershey, Pennsylvania, to watch wrestling and I spotted three eagles at different locations along the Susquehanna River. Keep your eyes open.

Jesus spoke of a treasure hidden in a field. When the man found it he sold all he had to gain that treasure. The man was earnestly searching and when he found the treasure, he was willing to give everything just to possess the treasure. God’s treasure for us can only be found in the word of God. God has even provided a guide for us which is the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit can only help those who have humble and hungry hearts. Who deeply want the truth. The price for the treasure is a total change of mind and a heart called repentance. The way we demonstrate our willingness to give our everything is by being

buried with Christ in baptism. Then God gives the gift of the Holy Spirit. The first treasure we experience is a whole new nature. Old things are passed away and all things have become new. The Holy Spirit within us teaches us how to walk in this new nature. God has given us the Bible which the Holy Spirit uses to guide us. One of the first things we learn is that we are no longer in bondage to our lower nature. Especially our selfishness that got us into so much trouble in the first place. We are free to practice loving others. We learn to be peacemakers. This creates an atmosphere of great joy in our life and families.

This lifestyle is not without strug-

gle. Jesus makes it clear we must strive to enter into the straight gate. Sometimes we must force ourselves to do what is right in order to gain the prize. Also, pressures come from the world around us trying to squeeze us into its mold. Sometime our greatest temptation is to give into our own selfishness and pride. Nevertheless, the treasure is worth it all. A life, a marriage and a family filled with love, joy and peace is worth the struggle.

Jesus tried to tell us how horrible it will be for those who refuse to believe and embrace God’s great plan of salvation. What is so wonderful to me is that we can escape the wrath of God that will come

on the children of disobedience. Where Jesus told us there would be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. He made it so clear, as recorded in Luke 16, by telling of a rich man who did not believe in God and did not care about people. The results are frightening. Start by reading the Bible and ask God to teach you. Then find a good church that teaches and believes that God is the same as recorded in the Bible, a God of miracles. After preaching and teaching these wonderful principles of God’s word for over fifty years we are witnesses that God’s word works. The results are exactly as he promised, life and life more abundantly.

~ Pastor Wayne Holcomb

Screaming into the TV cameras during the Kansas City Chiefs’ victorious Super Bowl post-game delirium, tight end Travis Kelce declared, “Not one of you said the Chiefs were going to win the Super Bowl. Not a single one. Next time the Chiefs say they are going to do something, give some respect to our name!”

I don’t think Webb Weekly is delivered to the Chief’s zip code, but just for the record and Kelce’s information, a few of us did pick the KC tribe to down the high-flying Eagles in this year’s highly entertaining and high-scoring Super Bowl.

Much has been written and secondguessed in the days that have since passed, but although the Eagles lost the game, they carried themselves as true professionals and sportsmen via their own media moments following their desert defeat. While the loss had to sting, head coach Nick Sirianni, center Jason Kelce, and quarterback Jalen Hurts were gracious and eloquent in response to reporter’s questions. But it may have been cornerback James Bradberry who uttered the most truthful response.

It was Bradberry who was whistled for a costly holding penalty during the Chiefs’

late-game drive for the winning field goal. Many pundits thought the call should not have been made, especially in such a crucial Super Bowl moment. But Bradberry owned it all by saying, “It was a holding. I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they [the officials] would let it slide.”

As Chiefs’ place-kicker Harrison Butker’s 27-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the game perfectly split the uprights, Kansas City could celebrate its second

Super Bowl triumph in the past four years while at the same time taking home a tidy $157,000 per player. After licking their wounds, Eagles players were consoled with an $82,000 consolation prize.

Indeed, the Super Bowl is a cash cow for the NFL, with many people feeding at the trough. While most of the players qualify as millionaires, NFL teams have multiple assistants during each game who are in charge of everything related to organizing travel, uniforms, food, hotels, etc.

One of the smaller roles within a franchise during a game is the water boys, who hydrate the players during the game and offer them dry towels. Reports indicate such duties pull down an average annual salary of $53,000, which is similar to wages

Scott Lowery

expected from a college graduate. They also benefit from tips and usually are included when the Super Bowl rings are distributed.

Super Bowl ‘action’ was not limited to the playing surface of Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium. More than 31 million Americans placed bets totaling $7.6 billion, wagering on everything from the coin toss to the final point spread. The American Gaming Association reported both figures were records with an increase of 35 and 78 percent over last year. The gambling business represents a big chunk of the NFL’s record $1.8 billion taken in via sponsorship revenue.

While the NFL rolls in the dough, it was only recently that the League walked away from its long-time sanctimonious stance pertaining to the ills of gambling.

For decades, the NFL lived in fear that legalized gambling would lead to gamefixing and corruption and hurt the integrity of the sport. Prior to its merger with the old AFL, in 1963, the NFL suspended two of its major stars, Hall of Famers Paul Horning of the Green Bay Packers and Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions, for betting on league games and associating with gamblers.

NFL players were even prohibited from participating in events that took place at or were sponsored by casinos. One of the best-known examples occurred in 2015 when Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was blocked from attending a fantasy football event at a convention center attached to a casino in Las Vegas.

But the NFL’s ‘purity’ on the gambling issue fell by the wayside in 2018 following

the Supreme Court’s decision removing the federal ban on sports betting, allowing states to legalize it should they choose. Currently, 36 states now offer some form of legal U.S. sports betting, with the Super Bowl ranking as the king of sports wagering.

The NFL quickly jumped under the covers with a bevy of sports betting sites, including Draft Kings, Fan Duel, and Caesars Sportsbook, becoming official partners of the League. The Oakland Raiders moved their operations to ‘Sin City,’ and the League held their 2022 Player Draft in the heart of the gambling capital.

Alex Riethmiller, the NFL’s chief communications executive, is also promoting the new company line.

“Legalized sports betting offers fans additional ways to engage with the game,” Riethmiller rationalized. “The Super Bowl typically has more prop bets than other NFL games, and the expansion of online sports betting makes wagering during the game easier for fans, who can place bets on their phones.”

A recent report from research firm Moffett Nathanson reached this conclusion; “In a few short years, the very idea of sports betting has been transformed from a taboo and ‘sub rosa’ vice into a major business opportunity. All the leagues have flipped positions to now embrace sports gambling that includes exclusive partnerships.”

Things indeed do change, but from up there in heaven, Paul Horning and Alex Karras must be trying to contact Tony Romo, asking, “Were we born too soon?”

Sporting Matters With Spence… HS Hoops Scene

The regular season is coming to a close, and many high school hoops teams are now gearing up for playoffs. I am out of the loop in some regards, but I have been able to see a few games. This is a great time of year, folks. It brings back so many great memories. 2022 was fantastic, as my guys made me look good. They took us all the way to the State Championship. What a magical run. Although we came up a tad short. I absolutely love watching the clips and reading the articles from last March. It was grand. Maybe another local squad will experience the same?

The Williamsport Millionaires are peaking at the right time. Perhaps Coach Alan Taylor’s group is starting to figure things out. Port has a nice mixture of speed and height. They are playing extremely well together, and they will be a tough bounce. The Millionaires knocked off a savvy Central Mountain team this week. George Whaley scored a game-high 22 points. Williamsport is currently 17-4. Jakiha Kline, Caden Holt, Caleb Fausnaught, Thomas Takach, Chris White and my man Zach Lake are a fun bunch. I wish my alma mater the very best in the coming weeks. It all depends on match-ups, but I think the Millionaires will be just fine. Go Port.

Jamie Spencer

Central Mountain took a loss, but that might help them soon. The Wildcats are now 20-2. Senior guard Jack Hanna and versatile Hayden Pardoe are a solid duo. Both players can score in bunches from anywhere on the court. Coach Tyler Bardo is a good dude. He has the boys playing tough. Essex Taylor is a scrappy kid. He might be the X-factor as Central Mountain heads to the postseason.

My young friends at St. John Neumann Regional are really playing well. They got bumped to AA, but the Knights are still the top dogs. Neumann is led by All-Stater Davion Hill. He has had an incredible senior campaign. My man makes it look so easy. Hill is averaging 33 points per game. First-year coach Lou Roskowski is doing great. He is mixing up the defenses and pushing the right buttons. Junior swingman Joe Savage is progressing nicely. The 6’4 sniper is another match-up problem. Joe has scored 20 plus a few times down the stretch. Neumann needs to get healthy, but they will do well. They might lack some big-game experience, but with Davion, anything is possible. I may be biased, but the Knights are one of my favorites. I will be rooting for them.

Muncy is hard to figure out. I like their squad an awful lot. Seniors Ross and Bran-

son Eyer have been around for a long time. Both have 1,000 career points. My man Mikey Fry can also light it up. The Indians have the talent and made it to the District Final last year. The AA field is loaded, but Muncy could be the one. It all depends on if they are hitting their shots.

I have a feeling that South Williamsport will make some noise. Joe Simon’s team is loaded. Injuries have caught the Mounties off guard. But if they put things together, they will be fine. South has some serious length. Lee Habalar and Marquan Harris are legit. Both can score, and they can defend. Ben Manning is a tough guard who can help his team win. I won’t be surprised if the Mounties turn some heads. Yes. It is a great time of year. Enjoy the

SJNRA’s Angelo Fernandez.

games. Everyone now has a clean slate. Hopefully, a few teams will bring home some District gold. Perhaps a few will do well in the States. I will be in the stands cheering them on — best of luck to all of my chums. Cheers.
