We Are in a Battle for the Soul of America

Ihave waited to write this article until President Joe Biden officially announced his intention regarding the 2024 election. Last Tuesday, he did just that, releasing a video asking the American people for more time to “finish this job.”

Before I get started, I want to clarify that I would be writing the same words regardless of our President’s political affiliation. Our Nation is heading in the wrong direction on so many levels. Our One Nation Under God is far more important to me than identifying as a Republican or Democrat. We need a leader to unite Americans from all walks of life.

I will be respectful to President Biden, so please don’t take my pointing out the facts as anything but that. For those of you who want to throw the Trump card at me, you obviously didn’t read my body of work from prior to his election right on through to after January 6th. I will stop with that topic right there. I do not try to change anybody’s mind when it comes to politics; I try to point out the obvious and call it like I see it.

President Biden is 80 years old; he would be 86 by the time his 2nd term ends; the last thing our Nation needs is a president from any party at this point in their life.

The media can keep dismissing President Biden’s slip-ups and senior moments; I completely understand my memory is not as good at 55 as it was at 50. However, we’re talking about the President of the United States of America, and that’s the wrong job to consistently have senior moments. If you need any proof of this point, just take a look at the people this age in your life, couple this with what their daily activities are, and be honest with yourself.

I have watched much of the President’s political career; there is no way his mental cognizance is intact. And this has nothing to do with his physical wellbeing regarding the falls he takes.

I want to finish this part of my article by also being clear about the fact our Nation does not need a 76-year-old former president who would be 82 by the time his 2nd term finished.

If our Nation is going to continue down the 2-party dominant system driven by who has the most money, power, and party support behind them, both need to provide better candidates. The old guard from both parties has created the state of the Nation we are currently living in. President Biden’s 40 years in office should have been enough to disqualify him before being elected. Before you

Jim Webb Jr.

Democrats think I’m singling him out, I could go name for name with Republicans who should never be reelected based on their decades in office, job performance, as well as their eating at the trough of the American taxpayer for a lifetime.

Folks, we gotta get over the thought that one party got us here. The system is broken, and the only fix is term limits. I have previously written several articles about this; I even included a plan that a person could still serve a lifetime as an elected official if that were their calling. They just couldn’t sit in the same spot, gaining more power term after term.

Now back to the parties providing better candidates. Our Nation is divided and split in so many ways. This includes affiliations of registered voters. The best data I could find is from October of 2022 and represents 31 States. I must add here this is what voters identify themselves as. Democrats make up over 38% of registered voters, Republicans 29.4%, and Independents is surprising 28.5%. These numbers are obviously not perfect, but they show the importance of the need for a leader to unite America. They also show the importance of the Electoral College, depending on where you live. The Titanic problem is the overwhelming

majority of the news media, social media, and political information that drive division and agenda. This is definitely not what’s best for our Nation. The views of the far right and the far left are always on full display to drive a wedge between fellow Americans. This is why I always suggest no politics at the family table during reunions, holidays, and gettogethers.

It’s big business for the networks and those pushing the buttons behind the elected officials to keep America divided. Enemies of America are also behind the scenes gaining power, wealth, and control through division.

What is currently going on across our Country is beyond the realm of common sense. The votes are out there for a candidate strong enough to unite middle America to win, which I believe is made of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. The problem is, with the system currently in place, is it possible for a quality candidate to come forward? The last thing we need to unite America is Joe Biden versus Donald Trump round 2.

I will end with what I’ve written a couple of times previously; I don’t believe President Biden will be on the ballot for November 2024. This decision will be made by members of his own party, prompted by a sinking approval rating, which, incidentally, reached 37% this past week, the lowest since his election. God Bless America.

From the Editor…

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

Don’t say I’ve never done anything for you. I’m a helper, so I’m helping.

If you have a mom, grandmother, aunt — anyone that you view as some sort of maternal figure, do them and yourself a favor and don’t wait until the last minute to do something for them for Mother’s Day. Not only is that going to be stressful for you, but honestly, it’s a little sus to not put in more effort for someone you love.

So while next week is our official Mother’s Day issue, here are some ideas you can get started on early. That way you, and mom, have a stress-free Mother’s Day, and trust me when I tell you, that’s probably what she wants more than anything!

Older kiddos are typically capable of designing their own Mother’s Day crafts or even shopping for gifts for Mom, while younger children will likely need some help from an adult.

Youngsters may not be able to take charge of Mother’s Day festivities alone, but they certainly have the energy and

enthusiasm to chip in. Handmade craft gifts are a sweet way for young kids to show their love for Mom. Here are a few ideas that can occupy even the youngest of hands.

Handprint butterfly photo card

All that is necessary for this craft is a printed photograph of the child’s face, paper, scissors, glue, and finger paints. The child should dip hands into the paint and make four handprints on paper in some preferred colors. When dry, cut around the perimeter of the handprints. These will serve as the “wings” of the butterfly. Glue the picture of the child’s face in the middle of a piece of paper or card stock. Draw a butterfly body underneath it (or print out a stock image to use). Draw antennae sticking out of the child’s head and attach the handprints around the head and butterfly body to make the wings.

Heartfelt masterpiece

Children can draw and color all over a large sheet of construction paper or another durable paper. An adult can then use another sheet of paper to make a frame mat of sorts, cutting out a heart shape from the middle. Both pieces of paper are then trimmed to the dimensions of a photo frame. The artwork is placed first and then the heart matting on top so that the artwork will show through the heart shape. Frame everything together for a lasting memento.

Fuzzy flowers

Kids can make Mom a bouquet of flowers that will never wilt. Print a photo of the child’s face and attach it to a piece of circular card stock that is roughly six inches in diameter. Have the child paint a popsicle stick green, and then attach that to the back of the round card stock. The child then glues small fuzzy pom poms to the card stock surrounding the picture to make a flower. If desired, attach a magnet to the back of the flower so it can be secured to the refrigerator.

Crafts are a great gift option for young children looking to give something special to Mom on Mother’s Day. Also, don’t forget the wine…

Consolidated Sportsmen To Hold Kids’

Trout Derby, May 7

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Lycoming County is blessed with numerous fine streams that can yield various types of fish — particularly trout. In a bid to help get children interested in the bounty of these area waterways, the Consolidated Sportsmen of Muncy Creeks have, for about the past 25 years, conducted an annual “Kids’ Trout Derby” in a stream in the Picture Rocks area.

“For more than 60 years, the Consolidated Sportsmen of Muncy Creeks have been proud to support the great opportunities to enjoy hunting and fishing in our community here in eastern Lycoming County,” said Dayl McClintock, Consolidated Sportsmen of Muncy Creeks President. “I think I can speak for all of our volunteers that there is nothing better than seeing the smile and excitement of children catching their first fish and inspiring that next generation of anglers.”

He continued, “The annual Dick Harner Kids’ Trout Derby is the highlight of our year, and we are honored to provide this fun, free event for the children in our community. After two years of being

unable to hold the Derby due to the pandemic, we’re thrilled to be back after last year’s successful Derby, and continue this great tradition in eastern Lycoming County. We hope families throughout our community are able to come out and join us the first Sunday of May for a great day on the water.”

Some background about this event and the organization.

According to McClintock, The Consolidated Sportsmen of Muncy Creeks was established as an allvolunteer-run organization in 1961 to enhance the fishing and hunting opportunities in the eastern end of Lycoming County, specifically in the Muncy Creek watershed.

Soon after its establishment, the Sportsmen became a member of the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission’s Cooperative Nursery Program, where, annually, the organization is responsible for raising trout throughout the year, providing a clean, safe environment free from invasive species and diseases, and then stocking those fish in area streams that are all publicly accessible.

Early in the organization’s history, they established a trout derby on Muncy Creek at Picture Rocks Park but discontinued it

after only a few events.

In the early 1990s, with a trout nursery already established just outside of Hughesville (now known as the Glen Faus Nursery), the club started a new project to build a second, permanent trout nursery to raise additional trout to support the area anglers and stock more fish in the streams of Lycoming and Sullivan Counties.

In 1995, what is now known as the Bob King Nursery, was established just outside of Picture Rocks. This new facility allowed the Sportsmen to expand its trout raising and stocking operations from 4,500 trout annually to 13,500 trout a year.

In 1996, with the additional trout available, the Sportsmen decided to hold its inaugural Kids’ Trout Derby, moving from Picture Rocks Park to Van Rensselaer Park, also in Picture Rocks, just behind the George Ferrell Elementary School, providing easy access to Laurel Run, a stream annually stocked by the Sportsmen, with great parking, playground facilities for families, and ample space for family members to come out and support this opportunity for children to enjoy trout fishing in our community.

The Kids’ Trout Derby quickly became an anticipated event in the community, attracting about 200 children (ages 0-12) annually, always held on the first Sunday of May. The Derby is free, with

all registrants receiving a gift bag for participating.

About 1,000 trout are stocked, with the children broken into four different age groups to fish throughout the afternoon. Each age group has two prizes, one for the first limit caught (each kid can catch and keep three trout) and the largest fish caught (in addition to the trout stocked, the Sportsmen “holdover” trout every year to stock trophy trout in its streams that can be more than 20-inches long).

The Sportsmen also have a concession stand available for the event.

The Derby was renamed in memory of Dick Harner, who was the club president when the Derby was established.

In addition to the trout raised and stocked for the Derby, the volunteers with the Sportsmen annually stock about 12,000 trout in the streams throughout eastern Lycoming County and Sullivan County, with one stocking the day before the opening day of trout season and then in-season stockings in mid-April and mid-May.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Sportsmen had to cancel the 2020 and 2021 Trout Derbies. Last year, the Derby returned for the first time since 2019, and the Sportsmen are eager to see this annual event continue well into the future.

County Hall Corner: Campaign Cash

By Larry Stout

It is difficult to drive a car more than a mile without seeing at least one campaign sign for a candidate running in the May primary. For the past few weeks, I have received circulars in my daily mail promoting candidates running for local offices. And, of course, this weekly paper and the local daily also feature ads for these government official incumbents and wannabes.

We all see them, and perhaps even spend time reading them, but what we do not generally think about is what this advertising costs to the candidate. Obviously, the higher the office, the more expensive it gets. To run for a local school board, borough council member, or township supervisor can cost almost nothing if an individual has a high profile in their community. For those less known, a simple homemade flyer and a little shoe leather for knocking on doors would probably be sufficient to inform the local constituency.

But the moment an individual gets outside their general neighborhood, things get a lot more expensive. Four years ago, ten individuals were running

for Lycoming County Commissioner on the Republican ticket. The last two in the voting were also the bottom two in campaign expenditures. The top two were spending in the six-figure range. It seems that this is the first rule of politics — money matters.

This is definitely true as the offices go up the government ladder. Consider the costs for candidates running for the Pennsylvania House and Senate. Pennsylvania has the distinction of ranking #4 in the nation, behind California, Illinois, and Texas, as the highest amounts needed to run for state office. Among the candidates who won for the first time in 2022, the median amount raised was $127,972 for state House races and

COUNTY HALL

$495,692 for state Senate races. It would seem that without deep pocket money, it does not matter how wise or wonderful a candidate may be; without cash, there will be no campaign dash.

This is illustrated vividly by Joanne McClinton from Philadelphia County, who spent the most of any candidate on her campaign, $2,043,000, with over $1 million coming from the PA House Democratic Campaign Committee. Philadelphia is considered a ‘county’ for state government purposes and has 27 State Representatives in Harrisburg — of which every single one is from the Democratic Party.

So, why does it take over $2M for Ms. McClinton to get elected? Possibly because she had been the Minority Speaker of the House since 2020 and was in line to become the first female Speaker of the House. She needed to make a very big splash, even though the outcome was inevitable.

On the total opposite of the spectrum is another Joanne, who spent 1% as much on her campaign as McClinton. Her name is Joanne Stehr, and she is from nearby Northumberland and Schuylkill County representing District 107. She spent the least amount of anyone elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, a total of $20,914

in the course of her campaign. To even reach that amount, Stehr personally donated $3,500, taking funds out of her 401(k). A mother and home healthcare LPN for 30 years, as well as a lifelong Republican, Stehr was the first woman to represent this district in Harrisburg. Her campaign platform was for lowering taxes, implementing term limits, and protecting the second amendment — and she beat her opponent by 50 percentage points!

This is one of the advantages we have in living in a rural area. Money is important, obviously, and name recognition goes a long way. But we also have values that we hold highly, and these are the ones that we want to put in office. Joanne Stehr believed her experience as a licensed practical nurse and as a parent was as important as any other for the role. She stressed the importance of being grounded and recognizing the “real-life” issues affecting the average citizen, which she believes are often overlooked.

So, let’s not judge a candidate by the size of their advertising budget but by the size of their heart for caring about their community, their head in recognizing problems and how they can be solved, and their hope that they can make a difference.

Lycoming County Historical Society

Plays Host to a ‘Voodoo Lily’

The Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society is playing host to a most unusual visitoran exotic ‘Voodoo Lily’. Some may have heard about it, some may have seen pictures of it, but you will definitely remember its fragrance once you smell it, as it smells like rotting flesh!

Amorphophallus Konjac is a large Asian plant, also known as the devil’s tongue, the elephant-foot yam, Konjac, or konnyaku. The plant is a member of the philodendron family. The corm, or tuber, produces a single flower in the late winter or early spring. A sturdy stalk bears a large, brownish-purple to maroon spathe, which can be as large as three feet in diameter surrounding a purple or mottled floral spike. The flowers are actually tiny individual female flowers at the base of the spike. The male flowers appear in another zone of the spike. When in bloom, the plant produces an odor similar to a dead animal, the smell of which is intended to attract carrion flies which will then pollinate the plant. The flower will remain in bloom for approximately five days and so, visitors must hurry to view this unusual plant specimen.

This plant is grown for harvesting in certain areas of the world. The starchy tubers are edible and processed into a tasteless flour or stiff jelly. The Japanese use konjac flour to make shirataki noodles and the plant’s starch is used to make a popular fruit jelly snack. This botanical specimen belongs to Larry Fryda, who is active volunteer of the Taber Museum.

There is no admission to view the plant, however, there is an admission to view the rest of the museum.

Admission is: $9.50 per adult, $7.50 per senior citizen, $6.00 per child 3-12 years of age. There is a family rate of $25.00 for a family of two adults and their children. Member of the LCHS are free. A 10% discount is available to AAA members and members of the military.

Hours of the museum are Tuesdays through Fridays, 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.; and Saturdays, 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. The museum reopens on Sundays, MayOctober, with hours of 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. The museum is located at 858 West Fourth Street, Williamsport. For further information, please call 570-326.3326 or visit our website at tabermuseum.org.

Brewer Blacksmith Shop is Being Dismantled After 40 Years of Continuous Service

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

The Brewer Brothers blacksmith shop became a matter of local history today, after the announcement that it has been closed after almost 40 years of continuous operation.

A landmark at North and Court streets since its establishment late in the last century, the old smithy is being dismantled this week following the death of John P. Brewer, who plied his trade here, and in Muncy for 52 years.

John P. Brewer, was one of three brothers who followed the blacksmithing trade, inherited from their father, and five generations before him. Although brother, Thorn Brewer, is still in business in Muncy, John was the last of the family conducting business here. Harry, who opened the local shop, died in January 1933.

It is an interesting and unique

history that the Brewer family claims with its unbroken line of blacksmiths in America going back to the 17th century. Their progenitor was James Brewer, Presbyterian preacher, and blacksmith.

James’ son, Adam and his son, Jacob followed in the blacksmith trade. Jacob’s son conducted the Agnes forge in Dauphin County. He is responsible for the family’s migration to Pennsylvania. Two of his sons, Thomas and John were also blacksmiths.

Thorn Brewer of Muncy, the seventh generation of blacksmiths is the father of Edward Brewer who migrated to Reno, Nevada and is blacksmithing there for lumber camps and plainsmen. His son is in the business and represents the ninth generation in the business.

The dismantling of the Brewer smithy will leave only two or three blacksmith shops operating in this city, where at one time there were dozens.

Five Rules for Strength Training After 50

Ihave said this before. In my humble opinion, strength training is the foundation of health. There are many types of strength, including the ability to lift something heavy once and the ability to lift something light many times. In this case, I am using the term in a general sense. I am talking about the ability to move your body easily and anything that may be in your immediate environment. To me, the ability to move is one of the most fundamental things concerning quality of life. Second only to breathing. Being strong and moving well is the catalyst for sleeping better, working your cardio-respiratory system, and even eating well. In all my experience, I rarely see someone change their diet and eat great right off the bat. Usually, they begin their lifestyle change with short walks and a few crunches, and then things pick up from there.

Also, when I write these articles, I typically discuss things in the most basic of terms. Today, however, I would like to go into more detail for someone that is sincerely interested in going beyond the bare minimum. I will give you the same

advice I give my clients, and we will discuss ideas for maximizing your progress and living life to the fullest. Since most of my clients are over 50, this article will be about some basic rules that I have come up with over the years to get the most out of your workouts and avoid injury.

Dave Bellomo

Warmup Properly: The bottom line is that once you’re past a certain age warming up is probably more important than the workout itself. A warmup should begin with something that is light and rhythmical, like walking, biking, or a light workout with a heavy bag. You should then take a few minutes to stretch dynamically. Again, this is some light, general movement like arm swings, leg swings, etc. Maybe if you are so inclined, as I am, try some foam rolling or other form of myofascial release at this point. Then, and only then, begin a challenging strength training session. Gone are the days of jumping right into a workout or calling a few half-hearted toe-touches a warmup. I have found that on the days I don’t warm up properly, I get injured — every time. So, if you don’t have time to warm up, you

LIVING WELL

don’t have time to work out. Also, save the static stretching for the end of the workout. Static stretches are less effective and possibly dangerous when done while the muscles are cold.

Train Frequently: Rather than save up your motivation for a great two-hour workout every once in a while, which will likely never happen, try instead to work out just a little on most days. I have found with my clients, as well as myself, that action leads to motivation. Begin by warming up, then working out for a few minutes but do this most days. It can be different things. Bench pressing one day,

squatting the next, etc. Over the next few weeks, you will likely develop the motivation to tackle more complex workouts such as split routines such as upper body on Monday and Thursday and lower body on Tuesday and Friday.

Build a Foundation: Start slow. It doesn’t matter that you could bench press a truck when you were 20. You’re not 20 anymore, and that’s OK. Start where you are right now at your current fitness level. Build on it. Gradually add a rep here and a few pounds there. Over time you’ll be back in shape. Don’t rush the process. Also, begin with the basics. This means multi-

joint movements such as squats, deadlifts, presses, and rows. Small, single-joint moments such as triceps kickbacks or concentration curls can wait, as they have less of an overall impact on the body.

Live to Train Another Day: This is a saying I came up with later in my career and that I learned the hard way. It means if something hurts or doesn’t feel quite right, stop what you are doing. Getting that one last rep won’t matter if you are out of the gym with an injury for two months. Maybe you were distracted or having a bad day, or you moved up in weight too quickly. Don’t worry about it. Stop what you are doing for now and cut back on the weight. You can give the exercise another try the next time you work out. A step

forward, however slowly achieved, is far better than a step backward.

Get Professional Advice: Smart people get expert advice on the things in which they are not formally trained. A fitness pro will help you decide what exercises are right for you and where to begin. As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, I wanted to write about ideal strength training programs, not the bare minimum. So, if you stumbled over parts of this article, you would most likely benefit from getting expert advice. There is absolutely no shame in getting help. In fact, it’s a pretty wise and mature thing to do. It will be money well spent, will likely speed up your progress, and will probably prevent an injury or two.

Reflections

Reflections

For once, my brain is blank, and this is a rare occurrence. I typically come up with some kind of past memory that comes back up for me, something that happened in the present, a season, holiday, food, or restaurant. But guys, I’m blank. For almost two weeks now, I haven’t been myself. I was admitted to the hospital for a few days with some GI issues that we believe were caused by a medication I was taking. That medication stopped real quick, but days later I still wound up in the hospital for those three days. The

antibiotic I am on to fight this infection is brutal stuff. Three times a day, for fourteen days, at 500mg. It just sucks the life right out of ya.

I am used to being wild and crazy, always happy. It’s not that I am not happy, but you just don’t feel the same. Tired — so tired. Nausea constantly, and just feel like the life is being sucked out of you. That’s the only way I can explain it.

I started a thirty-day challenge two days before I was admitted to the hospital, not only for myself but my clients

The Dairy Barn

and followers on Instagram and Facebook. The challenge is to move your body fifteen minutes daily, no matter what. Whether it’s a walk, run, spin class, resistance bands, weight training, or anything that gets your body moving. That weekend before, I made a video and posted it to my Instagram stories that link straight to Facebook stories. The feedback I got from people who wanted to join me Monday was unreal. People were ready to jump aboard the thirtyday challenge express! All aboard!! Little did I know what was about to happen two days later.

The timing of this all seems crazy. I think God knew I would need this challenge. It gives me a reason to get my booty up every day and move. In the hospital on day three, Bubba and I went for a walk. No, Bubba isn’t a friend, brother, or relative; Bubba was my IV machine. My dad named it because it never left my side. Bubba came with me wherever I went. I went to the bathroom, walked the halls all night, sleeping, fighting with the darn IV line as I tossed and turned, and even hit up the therapy room for me to ride the bike for thirty minutes that

was in there. I’d walk the halls in circles over and over again for fifteen minutes a few times a day. I couldn’t lay in a hospital bed all day. My body was used to moving. In fact, my body is used to 10-15,000 steps a day, a gallon of water, 150g of protein, and lots of fiber. Now I can hardly eat or drink, and I want to sleep ALL THE TIME. Huge difference for me lately.

As soon as they pulled those IVs and I didn’t have Bubba anymore, I felt like life was just sucked out of me. I got all the nutrients I needed from not eating for so long through those IVs. Now that I am home and struggling to eat, I feel it. Food is calories, and calories are energy! This is totally unacceptable. I’m such a foodie and literally crave nothing. Not hungry, period. I only make myself eat because I am on so many medications that I have to. I miss going out to eat, but not even mad about it because right now, it would take too much energy to even go out to eat. That’s how you know this girl is down! I never say no to going out to eat. It’s one of my favorite things to do. Cheesesteaks and wings are like my all-time favorite foods, but they don’t even sound good. WHO am I!?

The past two weeks have been challenging but comforting at the same time. Do you know how amazing nurses are? What they do day in and day out for

BUILT TO SERVE YOUR NEEDS

LET US DESIGN & BUILD YOUR MAN CAVE, POOL SHED, SHE SHED OR ANY CUSTOM SHED

HOME COOKIN

their patients? Do you know how special your family and friends are? Times like these are when you truly have open eyes to the people in your life. I always knew the people in my life were special, but what they go to in times like this warms my heart. I am grateful.

I am on day eleven of my challenge and getting up to move fifteen minutes a day. I’m not going to lie, some days, it’s a challenge, but I get up and do it because I not only made a commitment to myself but to others who follow me. (Follow me on Instagram at andreascountryhomecooknfitness)

Moving my body fifteen minutes a day is important, and I am determined to not miss a day. I know feeling like this won’t last forever, and I’ll be back to my crazy self before I know it. Inserting all the *cheesy smiles here* and Andrea’s wittiness will be back. Promise!

Southwestern Chicken

Ingredients:

– 1 lb. ground chicken

– 1 bag of Birds Eye Power Blend

Southwestern Style (In the frozen aisle at Wegmans with veggies, may be at other stores as well.)

– 1/2 cup Chopped Onion

– Garlic Salt

– Pepper

Directions:

Cook chicken with chopped onion, pepper and garlic salt to your liking. Cook until brown; about 8-10 minutes. Heat the power blend bag for two minutes in microwave. Mix in with cooked chicken and you are ready to eat. This is packed with protein and low calories! 3 servings of 1 and 1/4 cup is 266 calories and 30G of protein. It was a throw together of whatever was in our freezer for my lunch prep, and turned out so good!

AQUARIUS – Jan 21–Feb 18

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

Wedding Guest Dresses

There’s that old saying, “April showers bring May flowers,” and as my mother jokes, “And May flowers bring pilgrims.”

May flowers also bring wedding season! Some years, your calendar may be bursting with wedding invites; other years, it’s a nuptial desert, but even in the lean times, having a go-to wedding look never goes out of style. As with any event — location, and theme must be considered. You wouldn’t want to wear the same dress to a beach wedding as you would to a more traditional church wedding. Of course, most weddings follow the same structure and have standard settings; it’s not often that you’ll have a treehouse wedding or a hiking wedding. Many dresses can be flexible in terms of venue, but you may want to play around with trends and color. Here are some options and aesthetics to consider if you’re looking to refresh your wedding-guest style.

Romantic dresses have been on the rise these past few years. And what better time than a wedding to get romantic? Think of sleek ruffles and elegant silhouettes for fluttery, dreamy frocks in a party-ready mode. Stay clear of anything with puffed sleeves and tiered skirts; instead, choose from flowy or more body-hugging dresses

for a romantic look.

If you’re out to make a bolder statement, maybe at the wedding of an old flame, check out vibrant gem-toned frocks. The best thing about this trend is that the silhouette can be whatever flatters you best. Maxis, minis, sleeveless, off-the-shoulder, whatever your preference. All you need is statement-making colors — hot pinks, fiery reds, and Mediterranean blues. You can double-down with accessories in the same shade(s) or opt for neutral addons so as not to upstage anyone.

Outdoor weddings are the perfect occasion for a garden party wedding guest dress. Not as perfect as an actual garden party, but a pretty close second. You can keep it casual or go fancy with a garden partythemed frock in a midi or maxi length. This style dress should flow in the breeze with floral prints that shout spring. You can even experiment with the 3-D floral trend in trimming and embellishments for an unexpected take on this style.

If the outdoor wedding you are attending is beachside, then glide into sandal wedges or espadrilles and an airy tropical-colored frock. The key to this style is a voluminous skirt. Shorter hemlines and straight or A-line skirts may create a wardrobe malfunction if a sudden gust of sea wind

Bernadette Ulsamer

blows through. Plus, a fuller skirt is very dramatic in the seaside breeze.

For festive evening nuptials, where the focus is more on the reception than the ceremony, feel free to whip out a sassy cocktail dress. Don’t be afraid to pick a style with eye-catching details like fringe, sequins, or a unique neckline. Metallic fabrics that shine bright are another great option, especially for the nighttime. Just make sure your dress can handle dancing into the wee hours.

Even though they are few and far between, it’s not a bad idea to be prepared for a formal, black-tie wedding. And you may already be prepared if you’ve hung onto any former bridesmaid dress that isn’t too hideous. A full-length dress rendered

in satin and paired with strappy heels or cream-colored mules is sleek and event appropriate without a lot of fuss. However, if you want to go big at a black-tie wedding, then we’re talking beyond dress and begin speaking in gowns. A truly formal affair calls for a cascading evening dress in the aforementioned satin, tulle, or silk fabrics. Feel free to dive into some red-carpet dreams of rich gem tones, big jewelry, and maybe a side slit for a bit of sex appeal.

It’s not just the happy couple and wedding party that can make a ceremony sartorially pleasing. Guests also contribute to the vibe and look of the event. It’s your duty as a respectful attendee to bring your best wedding style, whether it be romantic, bold, or super glamorous.

Dishing Out the Facts on Good Fats

For those seeking to be more health-conscious, the idea of eating nutritiously seems simple. However, understanding what’s truly “good for you” can sometimes be confusing.

In honor of National Nutrition Month and Healthy Fats Day, Avocados From Mexico is sharing how avocados - a delicious food and source of good fats and several vitamins - make everything better. Avocados From Mexico conducted a survey and found that while 76% of respondents believe fat is an essential component of a healthy diet, less than one-third are confident they know why it’s important to have “good fats” in their diets.

Virtually the only fresh fruit with good fats, avocados can help people meet both good fat and fruit and vegetable recommendations in the same bite with approximately 6 grams of good fats per serving (one-third of a medium avocado). They are nutrient-dense, making avocados a delicious food with super benefits. Avocados are also free of cholesterol and sodium and have nearly 20 vitamins and minerals.

For starters, according to the survey, nearly half of Americans didn’t realize foods with good fats, like avocados, can help with weight management. However, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in avocados can lower the risk of becoming overweight, according to research published in “Nutrients.”

“Most people are aware of the Mediterranean Diet, but nearly half (40%) of survey respondents didn’t realize that this eating pattern does not limit fat coming from plant sources like avocados,” said nutrition expert and registered dietitian Barbara Ruhs. “These types of unsaturated good fats are also

Another finding from the survey is that while people believe fat is essential to a healthy diet, one-third of survey respondents believe saturated and trans fats are associated with health benefits, indicating confusion about the various types of fats. Many Americans need to balance their overall fat intake by reducing “bad” or saturated fat intake and increasing “good” or unsaturated (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) fat intake. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats can help reduce LDL, or bad cholesterol levels.

Library Joins Worldwide Digital Book Club

James V. Brown Library cardholders of all ages can experience Big Library Read, the world’s largest digital book club, with a National Book Award Finalist novel.

From May 3-17, booklovers with a valid Brown Library card join thousands of others around the globe in borrowing Grace M. Cho’s evocative memoir, Tastes Like War, from their public library.

Library card holders may read the ebook and audiobook for free without waiting on the Libby app or by visiting https://libbyapp. com/library/ebranch2go.

Readers can then discuss online at https://biglibraryread.com/ join-the-discussion/.

This Big Library Read novel is available in more than 21,000 libraries around the world, including approximately 90 percent of public libraries in North America, along with thousands of schools. During the program, readers participate in engaging online discussions about the title. The program is facilitated by OverDrive, the leading digital reading platform for popular ebooks, audiobooks and magazines and

creator of the Libby app.

Tastes Like War tells the story of Grace M. Cho who grew up as the daughter of a white American merchant marine and the Korean bar hostess he met abroad. They were one of few immigrants in a xenophobic small town during the Cold War, where identity was politicized by everyday details – language, cultural references, memories, and food.

When Grace was fifteen, her dynamic mother experienced the onset of schizophrenia, a condition that would

continue and evolve for the rest of her life. Part food memoir, part sociological investigation, Tastes Like War is a hybrid text about a daughter’s search through intimate and global history for the roots of her mother’s schizophrenia.

Big Library Read is an international reading program that connects millions of readers around the world with an ebook through public libraries. Tastes Like War is the 30th selection of this program, which began in 2013 and takes place three times per year.

Tastes Like War was published as an ebook by The Feminist Press and as an audiobook by Dreamscape Media. The title can be read on all major computers and devices through Libby or libbyapp. com, including iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ phones and tablets and Chromebook™ without waitlists or holds. Through Libby, readers can also “send to Kindle®”. The title will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and there are no late fees.

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. OverDrive strives to create “a world enlightened by reading.” Serving a growing network of 76,000 libraries and schools

Spring Checklist for Pets

6 ways to keep your pets happy and healthy

Warmer weather means it’s time to spring clean, get grooming and prepare your pets’ diets to support them through the season.

Keep your furry friends happy and healthy this spring with these six tips from the experts at Zesty Paws, an award-winning pet supplement brand:

Give Skin and Coats a Little TLC: Many pets form winter coats during the colder months to help them stay warm and comfortable then shed the coats in the spring to prepare for warmer temperatures. Some pets may need extra help maintaining their shiny, healthy coats, especially if mats have formed in their fur or if they are breeds that develop a thick undercoat. Professional grooming, at-home brushing and regular bathing can all be helpful ways to speed up the process to remove some of the extra fur and decrease the prevalence of dander, dust and pollen that can attach to fur and skin through the season.

Add Seasonal Allergy Support with Supplements: Just like humans, furry friends can develop and experience seasonal allergies, too. Giving your pets’ immune systems some extra support can help ease some common allergy symptoms. Supplements like Zesty Paws Aller-Immune Bites for Cats and Aller-Immune Bites for Dogs are chewables that provide seasonal allergy support by aiding normal immune functions, skin health and gut flora, and may

also help maintain normal histamine levels.

Ease Back into Exercise: The change in weather means more time for outdoor adventures with your pets, but don’t forget to cool down and warm up as you and your pets ease back into the season. Planning for short, leashed walks and timed play sessions can help your pets gradually prepare their hips and joints for fun, warm weather activities.

Watch Out for Pet Pests: Once temperatures start to rise, the tiny, creepy critters start crawling. Fleas, ticks and other pests can cause serious health concerns for pets. This spring, make sure your pest control programs are primed and ready for added protection. Talk to your veterinarian about the best routine and products for your pets.

Freshen Up Bedding and Bowls: It’s important to keep a clean environment by scrubbing, sweeping and vacuuming regularly to decrease allergens in the home. When you’re tackling this year’s spring cleaning, remember to put your pets’ bedding and bowls on the list, too. Updating or disinfecting your pets’ blankets, litter boxes, toys and other supplies is a good way to keep them feeling safe and comfortable in the home.

Schedule an Annual Vet Visit: Spring is a good time to schedule your pets’ annual vet visits. Make sure they’re up to date on all vaccinations, get their dental health checkups and re-evaluate nutrition plans.

Paul “O” Petcavage …

Iam now 68 years old. I was born in 1954 to Jean and Albert Petcavage, and to the best of my knowledge, my parents did not believe in middle names, so I was named at birth, or at least I thought I was until recently, just Paul Petcavage. I did eventually obtain a confirmation name, Joseph, but that was long after the ink on the birth certificate was dry. I do use the initial J. for Joseph in

my professional life, but that’s just to add a little pizazz to my signing and initialing of legal documents. Imagine my surprise when about two years ago, after I had sent to the Department of Health to obtain an official birth certificate, my name was listed on this certified certificate, as Paul “O.” Petcavage! After I studied the document duplicates in-fact — as I always tended to get two of everything — it was clear on

both; my name was now Paul “O.” Petcavage. Who knew after 68 years?

My parents are both deceased, so I could not ask them, so I did the next best thing. I asked my surviving sibling, and she assured me that Mom and Dad gave none of us middle initials. I next called the

Department of Health. After about an hour and a half of listening to elevator music, a very pleasant lady came on the phone, and after I explained the apparent mistake, she told me to hold on while she checked the archives. Yes, I’m now that old that my records are archived — and after another 1/2 hour of elevator music, she came back and confirmed that there was a marking on the original card that both my parents had originally signed, and it looked like an “O,”

Paul Petcavage

and that my official name was Paul “O” Petcavage!

After I mulled this new, unexpected development in my life over, I began to wonder what the “O” might stand for-Omar, Oscar, Othello? It could be anything, as no further details from the birth card were apparently available. I suddenly remembered that back in 1972, I had obtained a certified birth certificate, and to the best of my remembrance, there was no “O.” After a frantic all-out search of my house, I finally found it, and it said just Paul Petcavage, and it was in fact certified! I’ll show them I’m not Paul “O”!

I triumphantly called that Department of Health back — more elevator music — and then a not particularly nice lady came on the line. I explained the situation, and when she quite arrogantly said no, it looks like an “O” on your birth card, and so at this point, your full name is Paul O. Petcavage. I argued with her briefly, and then I played my trump card, telling them I had in my hand a certified birth

certificate issued to me in 1972 that clearly said my name was Paul Petcavage! She said, well, “they” must have made a mistake back then and inadvertently issued it without the “O”! Aggh, really! Who are they, and why did they wait 60+ plus years to make this finding? So, I said, but the “they” that made a mistake is you — the Department of Health, and I’d like you to correct this error. Paul “O” is not my name! Oh, she said, I couldn’t do that even if I wanted to — you’ll have to submit a formal request with a copy of both certificates — the wrong one, in my humble opinion, and the right one, in in my humble opinion — and “someone” will look into the issue.

So, dutifully, I did as I was instructed, cursing under my breath, and after about a four-month wait, I finally got a response — if you wish to change your name from the official birth record, you will need to send a Court Order authorizing us to make the requested change! You can’t make this stuff up!

Create Your Native Plant Garden

Gardening is a worthwhile endeavor that not only passes the time, but can be a form of exercise and relief from the daily grind. Gardens also provide ample opportunity to experiment, as individuals can produce everything from vegetables to bountiful blooms.

Recent years have witnessed a growing emphasis on eco-friendly gardening that aims to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides in an effort to protect the planet. One way to do so is to rely on native plants. What are native plants?

Native plants are indigenous to particular regions. The National Wildlife Federation says native plants grow in habitats without human introduction or intervention. Native plants have formed symbiotic relationships with local wildlife over thousands of years, which the NWF notes makes them the most sustainable options. Native plants help the environment and thrive with little supplemental watering or chemical nutrients.

Natives vary by region

Native plants vary by region. In arid climates, certain succulents may be

native because they don’t need much rainfall to thrive. In lush wetlands, succulents might be out of place.

Start native planting

The NWF offers native plants for 36 different states that can be shipped right to customers’ doors to help replenish native varieties. In addition, gardeners can visit local gardening centers to select native plants. Small and independently owned centers often feature knowledgeable local staff whose expertise can prove invaluable to individuals seeking native varieties. It’s important to keep in mind that native varieties may look less cultivated than more exotic blooms and foliages designed to sell for their unique appearances. Wildflowers and native grasses may be the types of native plants found in abundance, which may grow up and out quickly. These other tips can help the process. • Plan and prepare the site by removing weeds and turning over the soil. This will give seedlings an opportunity to take root without competition from weeds. Seedlings will give gardens a faster head-start than waiting around for seeds to germinate. However, gardeners can start seeds indoors and then move them outside once they are

seedlings.

• Avoid planting native plants in rows, as that’s not how they’re likely to grow naturally. Vary the placement so the plants look like they sprouted up haphazardly.

• Gardeners can still exert some control over native gardens prone to growing a little wild. Borders and paths can better define the growing areas.

• Grow Native!, an initiative from the Missouri Prairie Foundation, suggests planting two to four species in broad sweeping masses or drifts. Mix grasses with flowering plants. The grasses

produce dense, fibrous roots that can prevent weed growth. Native plants should require minimal care. Keep an eye on them and supplement with water if conditions have been especially dry.

A Margarita With a Spicy Twist

Cinco de Mayo is a great opportunity to dance, eat and make a little noise.

Often some well-crafted cocktails help celebrants to shake off their inhibitions and make the party a bit more festive.

Many revelers may insist that no Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without margaritas. In Spanish, margarita refers to a daisy flower. Some believe that

the margarita is a variation of the Daisy cocktail, which mixes citrus, orange liqueur, a spirit, and soda. Others attest that the margarita has always been its own unique drink, and was developed in the Mexican city of Acapulco when a Texas socialite combined blanco tequila with lime juice and Cointreau. Tequila is a spirit made from the agave plant, a succulent that grows in arid climates, which are common

UPMC Eye Doctor: Understanding Cataracts

Wesley Adams, M.D. Ophthalmology, UPMC

Are you over the age of 40 and have blurred, cloudy, or foggy vision? If so, you may be dealing with cataracts.

Cataracts are the result of a normal aging process in which the eyes’ natural proteins gradually lose their clarity, clouding the natural lens inside of the eye. This clouding interferes with light passing to the back of the eye, causing the blurriness associated with cataract. The aforementioned symptoms are often the first to show, but a glare or halo around lights at night, increased difficulty driving at night, double vision in one eye, or a change in your eyeglass prescription also indicate cataract.

Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness in the world, and they affect more than 24 million Americans over the age of 40 and will affect half of Americans by the age of 75. The earlier you recognize cataract symptoms, the sooner you and your eye doctor can determine if cataract or some other problem is causing changes in your vision.

Diagnosing Cataracts

Routine eye exams help screen for cataracts. It is best to not opt out of dilation drops during these comprehensive exams, unless your doctor says otherwise. These drops may be a bit uncomfortable but are used to better examine the lenses and other parts of your eye.

If your doctor detects cataracts during your eye exam, they are categorized by the location or layer of the lens in which they are found:

– Nuclear – Start in the center of the lens and most likely caused by the hardening of the lens, a common age-related circumstance.

– Cortical – Appear as white spots or even wedges of cloudiness on the lens of the eye and move from the outer edges of the lens toward the center of the eye.

– Subcapsular – Cloudiness in the eye begins at the back of the lens and may create a halo effect and glare around lights.

Treatment and Prevention

Early on, cataracts may cause no symptoms at all. At times, when cataracts are still mild, you and your doc-

tor may decide on simple measures like increasing light while reading, making adjustments to your eyeglass prescription, wearing anti-glare lenses, and the use of other vision aids like magnifying glasses.

If cataracts truly affect your quality and the activities of everyday life, surgery can be an option, especially when non-surgical treatments are not likely to work. Cataract surgery is a common procedure in which the cloudy lens is removed from the affected eye and replaced with an artificial lens implant.

If we live long enough, most of us will develop cataract and eventually need surgery. Age and genetics play a large role in the timing of cataract formation. Smoking, poor nutrition, diabetes, trauma, and exposure to the sun are all linked to the development of cataracts. While there is no definitive way to prevent cataract there are some simple steps you can take that may slow their formation. It is best to follow a healthy lifestyle and make changes for the health of your eyes with the following tips:

– Eye Protection – To prevent unwanted eye injuries, wear appropriate safety glasses when there’s risk of eye injury, especially when playing sports or using power tools.

– Quit Smoking – Smoking is not

good for your health and is linked to an increased chance of developing cataracts.

– Eat a Healthy Diet – Leafy greens and fruits are full of antioxidants and vitamins that benefit not only your eyes, but your overall health.

– If you are Diabetic – Work with your doctor to control diabetes and blood sugar.

– Sun Protection – Wear a hat with a wide brim along with sunglasses to help block the sun.

Blurring from cataract is usually gradual and cataract itself does not cause pain. It takes an examination by an eye doctor to determine if your vision changes are caused by cataract or some other problem and if surgery is appropriate. Sudden or rapid changes in vision are unlikely to be caused by cataract and may represent some other eye emergency. If at any time you notice a change in your vision, it is important to schedule an eye examination and meet with an ophthalmologist to discuss your concerns.

“Silver Alert: A Novel” by Lee Smith

You can have whatever you want.

So g’wan: buy a new car — heck, buy three of them. Have a vacation home on both coasts and two overseas. Get a new wardrobe for every day of the week, rings for your fingers and toes, go ahead, go wild. You can have whatever you want — except, in the new book “Silver Alert” by Lee Smith, you can’t have your life back.

When Herb Atlas opened the door of his Key West villa, he couldn’t believe his eyes. His step-daughter had hired a teenager — a kid, actually — to take care of his wife, Susan.

She’d been a real looker not so long ago, his Susan was. Charming and funny, everybody loved her. Then

early-onset Alzheimer’s made Susan an unrecognizable, wild-haired woman that Herb barely knew.

But here this kid who said her name was Renee was doing Susan’s nails and she had Susan calm, quiet, and not rat-a-tat-tatting. That hadn’t happened in a long time. Herb liked this girl right off; when she dropped her wallet and he saw an ID card with

another name on it, he didn’t even care that she was probably lying. He tipped her a couple $100 bills and he couldn’t wait to hire her again.

Two hundred bucks! Dee Dee practically skipped away from Mr. Atlas that afternoon, thinking about the things she could buy. She decided not to go back to the pink trailer just yet; she didn’t want to run into Tony because she was done with that life. Dee Dee liked the new work she’d been chosen to do, and she liked Susan, too.

Herb should’ve known an intervention when he saw one; even his nephew, Ricky, was there. His extended family didn’t get together for the fun of it, after all. Then again, an 83-year-old man doesn’t get scary-sick every day, either, nor does he willingly give up everything he knows and has worked hard for, before taking one last grasp at life...

Let’s be honest: the old elderlyperson-and-caregiver-flee-ina-classic-car plot is suddenly everywhere, overused, almost

overdone. Set it aside, though, if you can, and “Silver Alert” is a wonderful little novel.

What helps is that author Lee Smith’s two main characters are very appealing. Herb is a foul-mouthed, once-proud man who hates the fact that he’s aged, and he rails against it. Dee Dee is an under-educated backwoods girl who longs to fulfill her own promise and overcome her awful past. Their separate, but entwining, stories are the kinds you can’t wait to return to while you’re

spending time with the rest who make this novel truly fun: among others, there’s an insufferably uppity doctor and his wife, a no-nonsense lesbian couple, a career-woman daughter, an absent son, poor Susan, and Ricky, a cool-headed voice of reason who’ll make readers wish they knew someone like him.

If you’re up for a fast read with a great storyline and somewhat of a surprise ending, ignore the trope and reach for “Silver Alert.” You can get it whenever you want.

Transforming Grace The Word of God

This article is the second in a series describing how God changes us from spiritual infants into fully mature spiritual adults who are able to successfully pursue and accomplish God’s purposes. Previous articles in this series are always available at www.webbweekly.com.

The goal of my writing today is to inspire you to access the powerful transforming grace God has made available to us in His Word.

Alive and Powerful

When we think of the Word of God, we correctly think of the Bible. It is the most amazing book — unlike any other on earth. The apostle Paul referred to it as “Godbreathed.” See II Timothy 3:16. We see this same terminology used when God created Adam and Eve and He breathed into them the breath of life. See Genesis 2:7. God has breathed life into the Bible. It is a living and breathing document. The writer of Hebrews calls it “living and active.” See Hebrews 4:1112. Paul describes it as “the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.” See Romans 1:16-17.

God Himself describes the power of His Word in Isaiah 55:11,

“So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but

Tim Hartzell

will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

Because the Bible is alive and powerful, it has the miraculous ability to speak to us in every stage, age, and circumstance of life. I have been reading, memorizing, meditating on, and teaching from this book for over fifty years — yet it surprises me with something new every day. The only explanation for such an amazing book is that it is alive and powerful.

Jesus encourages us to hunger for it and consume it daily, just as we do food. See Matthew 4:4. The Word of God is our spiritual nourishment, and if we think we believers can live without it, we are fools. So much of today’s spiritual malnourishment and immaturity is the result of believers who do not consume the Word daily. The psalmist understood:

“How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Praise be to you, O Lord; teach me your decrees. With my lips, I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great

riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.” Psalm 119:9-16 Logos

“In the beginning was the Word (logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” John 1:1-2

“ The Word (logos) became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

The Greek word  logos is translated as Word in John 1. Logos is a very special word. It is defined as words that embody principles, concepts, or ideas

When Jesus came to earth, He arrived as the “Word become flesh.” He embodied things about God that, up to that point, had been mostly abstract — grace, mercy, truth, sacrifice, power, holiness, love, meekness, forgiveness, submission, and servanthood.

In Jesus, these words took on flesh — and the abstract became tangible. Not only could we hear the Word, but we could also see it and touch it. He brought those words to life.

Consider the word forgiveness. It is an important word in our faith. Consider how Jesus changed our understanding of that word when He cried out from the cross, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” See Luke 23:34.

Forgive them? The very people who had tortured Him with punches to His face, a crown of thorns beaten onto His head, a severe whipping, and ultimately the painful execution on a cruel cross? Really? Friend,

whatever I may have thought of that word, Jesus forever changed it by becoming forgiveness in the flesh.

You and I have the awesome privilege of full access to the Word of God. Technology has made the Word more available today than ever before. If we’re not consuming it daily, then we will have much to answer for at the judgment seat of Christ. If you claim to be His follower, then I strongly urge you to consume His word constantly. Without it, you will be spiritually lukewarm. Here’s what Jesus had to say about that problem:

“ These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire so that you can become rich; and white clothes to wear so that you can cover your shameful nakedness and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they will be with me.” Revelation 3:14-20

To hear His voice, you must read His Word. Do it today — and tomorrow — and every day for the rest of your life. It has the power to transform you!

With warmer outdoor temperatures, many homeowners suffer through longer allergy seasons. In fact, allergy days have increased by 20 days, according to a study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences.

Being aware of air quality indexes and limiting time outdoors can lessen exposure to airborne pollutants, but indoor air quality is also a concern. In a report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, levels of indoor pollutants can be 2-5 times higher than

outdoor air.

People spend nearly two-thirds of their lives at home, according to Carrier, which developed its Healthy Homes Program to help homeowners create indoor environments that optimize health and wellness. Consider these ways you can combat pollutants where it matters most: your home’s indoor air quality.

Reduce Indoor Pollutants

Your home has multiple sources of indoor air pollutants. While avoiding these pollutants altogether is often the

best solution, it’s not always possible. However, there are a few ways you can reduce exposure in your home: ban indoor smoking; turn on exhaust fans when cooking; minimize or remove “soft” pollutant gathering surfaces such as decorative pillows, stuffed animals and decorative throws; and regularly clean all heating and air conditioner filters as required or according to manufacturer specifications.

Add Air Purifiers to Your HVAC Unit

While air purifiers don’t treat allergies, they can help filter out allergens that can cause allergy symptoms. Homeowners might consider purifiers that are highly effective at capturing particulate. For example, the Carrier Infinity air purifier is a whole-home heating and cooling system. It not only captures 95% of particles in micron size range 1.0-3.0, but also inactivates 99% of select airborne germs and viruses that flow through the HVAC system and become trapped in the MERV 15 filter. The purifier has also demonstrated effectiveness against the murine coronavirus - similar to the human novel coronavirus (SARSCoV-2) that causes COVID-19 - based on third-party testing, as well as the type of viruses that cause the common cold, streptococcus pyogenes and influenza.

Control Humidity

Many people know high humidity can cause discomfort in hot temperatures, but there are other potentially negative impacts. According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention, dust mites thrive in 70-80% humidity and temperatures between 75-85 F. Additionally, high humidity can provide an environment conducive to mold growth, which is why maintaining relative indoor humidity between 40-60% is recommended to keep dust mites and mold at bay. To help control humidity, run the air conditioner when it’s hot and humid and consider using whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers that allow for specific settings for moisture control. Consider Room Air Purifiers for Individual Spaces

Room air purifiers are portable and highly efficient solutions for smaller spaces such as nurseries, bedrooms, home gyms and added rooms. One example is the Carrier Smart Room Air Purifier with a built-in indoor air quality monitor that includes three levels of filtration, including an activated carbon filter to capture odors. The attached, colorcoded air quality monitor measures and displays pollutant levels so homeowners can be informed and aware of the quality of their indoor air, giving them the ability to maintain next-level comfort while breathing cleaner air.

Creating your ideal home environment is more than just controlling the temperature. Your home’s air should be filtered and pollutants limited to minimize allergy triggers and promote good indoor air quality. (Family Features & Carrier)

2. Add the cloves and cinnamon, then the pork. Cook, stirring, until the pork has browned. Add the stock. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes.

3. While the pork is simmering, peel the tomatoes. Cut a cross in the bottom of each tomato, then put them both in a heatproof bowl. Pour in boiling water to cover. Leave the tomatoes in this water for 3 minutes, then lift them out on a slotted spoon and plunge them into a bowl of cold water. Drain. The skins will have begun to peel back from the crosses.

4. Remove the skins completely, then chop the flesh.

5. Stir the tomatoes and almonds into the pork mixture, add the raisins and wine. Cook until the mixture is reduced to a thick sauce. Let cool.

6. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Open out the pork loin and trim it neatly. Season the pork stuffing with salt and pepper to taste. Spread on the surface of the meat in a neat layer, taking it right to the edges and keeping it as even as possible.

7. Roll up the pork loin carefully

and tie it at intervals with kitchen string. Weigh the pork and calculate the cooking time at 30 minutes per pound, plus another 30 minutes.

8. Put the stuffed pork loin in a roasting pan, season with salt and pepper, and roast for the calculated time. When the loin is cooked, transfer it to a meat platter, place a tent of aluminum foil over it, and let it stand for 10 minutes before carving and serving with the roasted vegetables of your choice.

Spring Activities for Families to Enjoy Together

Spring is one of the most popular seasons of the year. After several months of chilly temperatures in many regions, spring provides a welcome reprieve from the cold.

Moderate temperatures makes it much more comfortable and inviting to venture outdoors, particularly for families with children who might not adapt to the cold as well as adults. The following are some family-friendly activities that make the most of spring renewal.

Visit botanic gardens

If there’s a botanical garden nearby, a visit in spring is a great time to soak in the beauty of nature. That’s because an abundance of flowers bloom during the spring, meaning a garden will be in peak form. Visitors can meander through rows of rose bushes or tour the labyrinth of trimmed hedges. Beautiful, flowering cherry trees, with their delicate pink or white petals, also are sights to behold in spring. Prepare a home garden

Visiting a garden is one thing, creating

one at home is another. In addition to planning a vegetable garden to enjoy tasty pickings throughout summer, you can devote some property to flowers that will attract wildlife. Check with a garden center about which flowers and plants attract butterflies and other beneficial insects. Many garden centers sell butterfly and hummingbird mixes to attract wildlife.

Go animal watching

Flowers are not the only thing on display come the spring. Many animals, including birds, are born this time of year. Baby animals are not only adorable, they can be entertaining to watch grow. Families can spend time viewing the animals that visit their yards or surrounding parks, being

careful to keep their distance. Adults may be quite protective of their young, so it’s better to watch from the lens of a camera or with binoculars. Always resist the urge to help a baby animal who seems like it was abandoned. The parent may be a short distance away gathering food or trying to avoid drawing attention to the young to deter predators.

Get out on the water

A bright, warm day is an ideal time to enjoy the open water. Spring is a season when many marinas reopen and avid boaters put their vessels back into the water. You also can venture

SPOTTS Lawn Care

into streams or lakes aboard kayaks or canoes, getting exercise and seeing the scenery in the process. Bring a fishing pole along and cast it into the water for a few hours of recreation.

Make wind chimes

Enhance the garden or decor around the home by making wind chimes or other percussion items that can create beautiful music when spring breezes blow. Commercially available kits are sold, but wind chimes also can be made from items like bamboo or even strung shells. These are just a few family-friendly activities to enjoy this spring.

2 story 7 room cabin, 3 bedrooms (sleeps 6 to 8 in bedrooms) knotty pine woodwork, Also 2 story garage/shop, Upstairs nished guest bedrooms with heat & air, (sleeps 4). Spring fed well, septic, electric, BEAUTIFUL 1 ACRE SPRING FED LAKE w/large walk out dock, Native trout, also smaller pond.

OLD LYCOMING TOWNSHIP VOTERS

In 2022, there were two Township Supervisors that kept you in the dark about Township Business.

At the September 28, 2022 Township Meeting, with an overflow crowd of residents and taxpayers, the two supervisors did not care about questions and remarks from you the residents and taxpayers. They had already decided to regionalize your police department before the meeting. The Chairperson of the Board confirmed this fact. Your voice did not matter to them. The two of them made the most consequential decision for your township in the last 40 years, and ignored you.

THE ONLY SUPERVISOR WHO VOTED AGAINST REGIONALIZATION WAS DAVID W. SHIRN.

There are two candidates who will listen to you and answer questions. There are two candidates who will give you time at Township Meetings to express your views.

They are seeking your vote for Old Lycoming Township Supervisor Supervisor David W. Shirn (6 year term) and Justin Kastner (4 year term) are those candidates.

Inspire Creativity with Fun Snack Hacks

School days offer nearly endless opportunities for learning and exploration in the classroom, but education doesn’t have to end with the final bell. Parents can ensure their students feel energetic, creative and confident by inspiring snack choices that are as smart as they are fun to make together.

Whether you’re whipping up a snack to send to school or your little learners need an energy boost before starting afternoon homework, creative snacking can help encourage inspiration. As a trusted ally with better-for-you and convenient wholefruit lunchbox snacks kids can enjoy, Sun-Maid offers these easy tips and ways to embrace the fun side of snack time.

* Keep It Simple: Look for recipes with five ingredients or less so your children can show their artful nature without becoming overwhelmed. Plus, this often leads to a more budgetfriendly at-home treat.

* Shop Together: Gathering ingredients and equipment is an important part of any recipe, and bringing your future chefs along helps them feel like it’s their creation from start to finish. Additionally, some

important life lessons can be learned along the way, like how to navigate the store and compare costs.

* Provide Kid-Friendly Instructions: There are many ways kids can lend a hand in making their own snacks, like mixing ingredients, washing produce or arranging a plate or platter. However, some steps are best left to the adults — make sure to do any cutting, slicing or dicing before letting children take the reins, for example, then just enjoy the creative fun.

With childhood favorites like crackers, marshmallows and vanilla yogurt covered raisins, Gimme S’mores Trail Mix offers a perfect way to get young minds thinking in the kitchen. A little guidance is all it takes to teach them each step of the recipe to make a crafty, delicious treat. Plus, with only a few simple ingredients that just need to be mixed together, it’s a low-stress, lowmess way to cook up creativity.

The Roving Sportsman… Paying Tribute to the King of Gamebirds

By Jon Pries

As you head to the woods in pursuit of a spring gobbler, there are a few things you should give some thought to. The majority of those who get up every morning well before daylight, trudge deep into the woods ahead of the sunrise, and sometimes spend countless hours in pursuit of this

magnificent bird often refer to a spring gobbler as the “King of the Game Birds.” It truly is a stunning sight when a mature gobbler is all fanned out and strutting for a nearby hen while the early morning sunlight dances off the iridescent colored feathers that cover his body. Add to that the flashes of red and white that he displays on his head, neck, and waddles, and it is one of the most

beautiful images in nature. To take a bird like that is truly to take a genuine trophy.

You should give some thought as to how you might preserve the memory.

If you are fortunate enough to take a mature gobbler this spring, what will you do with it? If you are considering having an area taxidermist do some type of mount to commemorate the hunt, there are several choices that a good taxidermist can offer. There is a full mount, usually done in the position of the bird strutting, which highlights all of his colors and the

uniqueness of the display that he puts on for his hens. A breast mount is a nice wall display and includes the head, breast, and beard — with the tail all fanned out behind the breast and head. Another option is to mount just the fanned-out tail along with the beard. It really comes down to your budget and how you want to show the mount or where you might have room enough to properly showcase the display.

If there is even a remote chance that you might want to have a mount done, then special care must be taken in the

field once the bird is down to ensure a great-looking mount.

Carrying a turkey in the woods — particularly a big gobbler — can be awkward, and frequently if you have a long hike to your destination, numerous feathers can be lost, ruffled, or broken, making the work difficult for even the best taxidermist. The answer to this dilemma is pantyhose. Yes, you read that right — pantyhose. Merely slip the entire bird head first into one leg of the pantyhose. As the hose is pulled down over the entire bird, the feathers are laid back in place and remain in a stable undamaged condition until you get the bird to the taxidermist. Cooling down the carcass is important in preserving the bird for taxidermy work, so if you cannot get it to your taxidermist quickly, put it in the freezer until you can.

If a mount of some type is not in the cards, there are several other things you can do that are unique to a gobbler. The three wing bones in each wing can be removed, cleaned, and used to make a two-bone or a threebone wing bone call. Once completed, you can inscribe the date and location of the kill on the call or decorate it

with a painting of some kind. It will add to the magic of some future hunt if you are able to master the use of this call and actually call in and take another turkey using the call that you made from the wing bones of a gobbler that you had taken.

Spurs can be removed along with a section of the leg bone to which they are attached and then are often displayed on a necklace.

The tail can be kept intact and dried in a fully fanned-out position. It can then either be displayed or used as a real tail in a gobbler decoy that often is sold with a plastic or paper tail. The addition of your fanned-out tail instead of the artificial tail will add to a more realistic look on the decoy. These tail feathers can also be plucked individually and make a great “canvas” for painting wildlife scenes.

The wonderful sights and experiences that a spring gobbler hunter encounters are worthy of remembering and honoring. By using some of the body parts as described above, you will be able to preserve the memory of the sights and sounds and the thrill of a successful spring gobbler hunt.

Mentored Spring Turkey Hunt: First and Last

Initially, the mentored hunting program was open only to youth under 12 years of age. Still, the program has expanded in recent years to offer opportunities to unlicensed hunters of all ages. Mentored hunters are not required to take a Hunter-Trapper Education class before obtaining a permit to hunt through the program. The purpose of the program, of course, is to attract more young new hunters, but the mentoring also provides the needed guidance and safety precautions. The mentor must be a licensed hunter of at least 21 years of age, and special safety precautions are required when the mentored hunters are handling guns and bows. Of course, we older hunters didn’t have the chance to hunt game at that early age, so when I heard that a friend of the family’s eight-yearold son bagged his first gobbler, I had to check it out.

Saturday, April 22, was the mentored spring turkey hunting day, and when I visited with our friends Erik and Jessica Steinbacher, their son Brecken was quick to inform me he “got right up” at 4:30 to head out turkey hunting.

Brecken was accompanied by his dad, Erik, and his Uncle Dan. As Uncle Dan called, gobbles rang out as Brecken settled in between his dad’s legs. “When I heard the turkeys, I got really nervous,” Brecken told me. Surprisingly the first gobbler sighted walked away, still gobbling. After moving to a different spot and setting up a hen decoy, the calling soon brought in another willing gobbler. Erik had to pull the camouflage mask away from Brecken’s eyes before Brecken fired his 410 single shot — dropping his firstever gobbler at 35 yards; his response was, “I want to thank God for this opportunity.”

Ken Hunter

It was great to hear that an eightyear-old got his first gobbler, but I also received a photo of my grandson, Gavin, holding his first-ever gobbler, also taken on that Saturday mentor hunting day. This was Gavin’s last opportunity to participate in the spring gobbler mentor hunt. Gavin and his dad, Brian, got set up at just about daylight, and they could hear gobbling coming from several different directions. Soon a hen showed up in the clearing, and twenty minutes later, a gobbler showed up. Gavin said they did very little calling.

The gobbler — with tail fanned — strutted, and called but walked away while still well out of range. Ten minutes later, two young gobblers came in from the right, only 10 yards away, and Gavin leveled his 12 gauge at the base of the gobbler’s neck and dropped his first-ever gobbler. Two great mentored turkey hunts; one getting the first gobbler at the early age of eight and one getting the first gobbler on his last chance as a mentored hunter. It sounds like the mentored program is doing what it was intended.

Look no further than

gobbler. Our grandson, Gavin, with his first gobbler on his last mentored hunt.

The question has long been pondered — “If a tree falls in the forest, and there’s nobody around to hear, does it make a sound?”

Around these parts, that’s most likely the same reaction rendered to the recent news that the City of Oakland and the Oakland Athletics have begun divorce proceedings. After years of ongoing negotiations, the two parties are going their separate ways with the baseball team’s announcement of a binding purchase agreement in place for 49 acres of land in Las Vegas for a new $1.5 billion, 35,000seat baseball stadium with a partially retractable roof to house the A’s in Sin City.

Whether you were in the forest or not, you didn’t have to hear it; it has been inevitably coming for years. Spurred on by MLB and Commissioner Rob Manford’s ‘my way or the highway’ leadership, getting the A’s out of Oakland has been on the priority list.

For the ‘other city by the bay’ — once a three-sport professional town — leaving has been bittersweet sorrow. The City was twice spurned by the bellowed Oakland Raiders (once for LA and then Las Vegas). The multitimes NBA champion Golden State Warriors, whose home was a mere 100 yards from the Oakland Coliseum, saw the team pack up and depart for San Francisco a few years ago. Now, the A’s departure will leave nothing but

Scott Lowery

memories for its sporting public.

It’s not like Oakland has been the only baseball city left at the alter after its teams were wooed by more attractive suitors over the years. Many instances of such flirtatious courting have occurred. Perhaps most memorable was the dual exit of the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, who, similar to the Beverly Hillbillies, in 1958 headed west to LA and San Francisco seeking ‘gold in them thar hills.’

But moving vans loaded with baseball gear have carried the Philadelphia A’s to Kansas City; the St. Louis Browns to Baltimore; the Montreal Expos to Washington, D.C., and then on to Texas; the Boston Braves to Milwaukee and then on to Atlanta; the Seattle Pilots to Milwaukee and Oakland got its baseball team in 1968 when the A’s moved in from Kansas City. You get the picture.

A city losing a team is a traumatic experience, but if you ever witnessed a baseball game at the Oakland Coliseum, you’d agree something needed to be done. The place was built for football, and it is cavernous and outdated.

Several years ago, I attended a game there, and the place won the prize as the least appealing MLB stadium I’ve visited (and I’ve seen them all). It was built in 1967 as a dual field for football and baseball. It has a massive upper deck covered by green tarps. While A’s

fans are few but passionate, there is very little about the place that is fan friendly by today’s standards. It is in need of structural repairs, and recent reports told the story that Mets radio announcers had to vacant the booth because it had become the home to possums.

While Williamsport is far from the beaten path of Major League Baseball, the city’s enduring relationship with baseball is well documented. Since Bowman Field first opened its gates in 1926, professional teams have called the city home but have also experienced the absence of a local nine. The country’s second oldest professional ballpark was without teams in 1957, 1963, 1969, 1973-1975, 19771987, and 1992-1993. Since the 1994 arrival of the Williamsport Cubs from Geneva, New York, the grand old game has been a local

summer staple.

In October 2019, word began to leak out of the Manfred-led MLB plan to cut more than 40 minor league teams from the baseball map – Williamsport among them.

Williamsport Crosscutters vice-president of marketing Gabe Sinciropi relived those difficult times with Webb Weekly

“During that time, we knew it was possible that we would be one of the teams that would be cube cut, along with the whole NYP League and all other short-season clubs. Negotiations did not garner any results, and MLB took over the Minor Leagues. By mid-summer, it became clear that we would be cut, but MLB promised all cities that were cut would have an option for high-level baseball to continue.

“At that time, we did not know exactly what

that would mean. In late summer, the Cutters, along with ALL teams in the NYP League (except Aberdeen, Brooklyn, and Hudson Valley – who MLB was moving to long season A), were offered the opportunity to be part of a new venture MLB wanted to form – The MLB Draft League.

“That December, MLB formally invited 120 clubs to be part of the “new” minor leagues, and an announcement was made about the formation of the MLB Draft League.”

Contrary to some public opinion, the MLB Little League Classic had no bearing on Williamsport’s inclusion in the MLB Draft League, Sinicropi added.

“MLB extended the invitation to join the Draft League to all clubs in the NYP League that were being cut, in addition to other clubs

in the East, such as Frederick and Trenton. We were happy to accept that invitation and keep Williamsport’s baseball history alive.”

The Oakland A’s have a rich baseball history that included three straight World Series Championships (1972-1974) and was the subject of the 2011 movie “Moneyball,” which told the story of the team’s consistent success despite ever-diminishing team payrolls.

But as each season progressed, it became inevitable the A’s needed a new home. When that home was unavailable in Oakland, the A’s opted to head for the greener grass on the Vegas strip.

Williamsport isn’t Las Vegas, and the MLB Draft League isn’t MLB, but they still have a team that Oakland soon won’t. Get out and enjoy what we do have!

When you spend as much time on the water as I do, you always catch a few. And while some days are certainly better than others. You occasionally have those fantastic experiences. These little episodes are extremely rare. I can count them with my fingers.

This past Thursday, I was on Lycoming. I parked my car and said hello to Kevin. He and his lovely bride are so good to Jensen. I will refrain from using any last names. I want to keep my whereabouts a secret. Let’s just say my friends have the nicest yard in Cogan Station. Tonight, I was fishing one of my favorite stretches. I know this area quite well, and I am amazed at how it constantly produces. This run isn’t near a major stocking point. But the trout always gather in large numbers — usually a few weeks after the opener. I always encourage my friends to find the “good spots” on a river or stream. Fish are always on the move, and they will eventually migrate to these pools.

Stocked fish sometimes get a bad rap. I have learned to appreciate them, and they are what I target. These trout spend their earlier years in a nursery. Once they get to the desired size, they are released. Stocked fish will likely head downstream until they find some cover. They are in search of slower-moving water. Remember swimming upstream or battling the current isn’t something they are used to. Where do they

go? The state of PA and many others have entertained this question. Several studies show that a Rainbow will leave its initial post after three days. One radio-tagged Bow swam an incredible 123 miles from their entry just 16 days after stocking. Browns will hang out a little longer. They will likely move after seven.

The changes in the diets of these critters are truly amazing. They are raised on pellets that are full of nutrients. Stocked fish quickly learn to adapt and begin finding natural food almost immediately. And after a few weeks in the stream, their diets will make a complete 180. Early in the season, stocked trout pay little attention to what’s floating by. They will only take the worms, minnows, power bait, and salmon eggs the weekend warriors throw at them. But then, all of a sudden, a light completely switches, and the stocked trout will start to feed on bugs. It is quite incredible. What triggers this response? STUPENDOUS. I made a few casts near Reeder’s Rapids. I was bouncing a green Peeping Caddis off of the bottom. This is my go-to nymph on Lycoming early in the season. The water was up from yesterday’s rain. I fished for a good ten minutes to no avail. I considered packing up and trying another. But all of a sudden, I noticed a few splashes. I looked at the water, and it was bubbling with bugs. Those weren’t raindrops. They were sipping trout. There was a major Caddis hatch, and the fish started rising immedi-

ately. Little brown bugs were absolutely everywhere. Sip after sip. It was insane. There must have been at least 50 trout actively feeding in front. They came out of the woodwork. Thankfully I had a few #16 Tans in my box. I quickly changed my current setup. I was no longer fishing below the surface. I was going to try my luck on top. I made a good cast to where I saw one that was actively feeding. This was an unbelievable frenzy. I made a slight twitch and saw a sudden splash. It was a healthy, stocked rainbow with superb coloring. I took a quick photo and released her. Second cast. Bang. The same result. This one was a little smaller but fought extra hard. Third cast. Boom. This was a monster — a healthy 18” bow who battled immensely. Bugs were still in abundance. Fourth cast. Damn. I hooked a tree behind me. Oh no. What a mess. I had to start all over. Another cast. Whack. It was bedlam. I was on fire. Heck. I even tried it left-handed.

This madness continued, and I literally stopped counting. I have never seen so many bugs on the water. Trout were everywhere. Most were right in front of me. This was a major hatch that I was very fortunate to witness. I felt good about life, and I marveled at my successes. I wish my son was with me. He was at Hepburn Ly-

coming watching his cousin. I was only hoping he could get a little dry fly love. I landed a few more, and things started to slow. The Caddis were still buzzing, but the fish were gone. Ten minutes later. Everything stopped. No bugs. Nothing. It was incredible.

I reached out to several of my chums later that evening. Some were also on the water and had the very same experience. A few mentioned that it was indeed a Caddis hatch. Hopefully, there is room for a picture. It was one of the most prolific in recent memories. They, too, absolutely slayed them. Then it stopped. Like clockwork. Unbelievable. What an amazing evening of fishing near the homestead. One of the best I have EVER had. Thanks again, Kevin. Cheers.
