Webb Weekly May 17, 2023

The summer travel season has arrived across our Nation, and I have many thoughts to share with you. A couple of them are guaranteed to happen every year, some are a sign of the current times we are living in, and a few are probably more supply chain related, although I’m going to work them into my column. All can definitely affect your drive to work or that muchanticipated vacation.

I will begin with the fleecing of America that takes place every time we fuel up a vehicle, only now there’s a little extra twist. We have been brainwashed over the years to believe the price of gas just naturally goes up this time of year. The only reason the price of gas goes up is because Americans drive more in the summer, and the big oil companies take advantage of this fact. I know they always have a reason to justify it with the help of the national media, Wall Street, and even our federal government, but I believe the truth is just simply corporate greed and how it benefits all the above-mentioned.

As far as the twist I was talking about, gas prices are already more than we should be paying, and American wages haven’t kept up with the cost of living and traveling on any level. So, this equates to this year’s transportation taking a little bigger bite out of your wallet. Not to mention it’s

harder than ever to save for that vacation because of the effects of inflation on everything Americans purchase, from groceries to housing to the insurance to protect whatever they have or the vehicles that enable them to travel. Let’s not forget the climbing cost of health care and medication.

The bottom line is everything has increased, and we’re not the federal government, so that money has to come from somewhere. Americans put more on their charge cards than ever before, and the interest rates charged by financial institutions also drain opportunities to save for travel.

Moving right along with what always goes hand-in-hand with summer driving is construction — and there seems to be more of that going on at every turn. This also means you must allow a little extra time and patience for travel. Please keep your eyes on the road and away from distractions.

I will stay away from why our bridges and roads have gotten in such bad shape in Pennsylvania. We have paid some of the highest fuel taxes in the Nation for decades. Tolls are nothing new to our state and are only going up. And our state has benefitted from natural gas money intended for maintaining the roadways. Something tells me this money didn’t end

up where it was supposed to. I will stop there and get back to all the work zones.

Please give our highway workers a break; they have a tough job to do in a dangerous work environment. You see the drivers they must deal with every day; some make the Walmart parking lot a hazardous situation. At the end of the day, they just want to get into their vehicle and drive home safely. As you approach a work area, drive like one of your family members or friends has that assignment for the day.

That gets me to the supply chain issues that we all cross paths with every day. I don’t think truck drivers have ever gotten the respect for what they do and how important they are to keeping everything in our Nation running. Due to everything that has happened in the last few years, many have chosen to retire or find another line of work. America needs more truck drivers, but like so many other jobs, they also need more qualified applicants. They must then be properly trained and gain the real-life experience of being out on the road. Minor mishaps almost always occur for a new driver of any vehicle. This is obviously compounded by the size and weight of a tractor-trailer or whatever truck they are operating.

I do not want this to be read like I’m criticizing any truck driver, new or old.

And I understand firsthand what they’re dealing with each and every day. However, I do not believe I have ever seen more accidents or more close misses. Many of these occurrences are caused by just flat-out unsafe and bad driving. I think the level of professionalism behind the wheel is at an all-time low. I understand the lack of drivers has caused companies outside our area to put drivers behind the wheel that may not be ready. They should first be kept at home working in their local area. They then end up on our local highways, which have some very difficult spots to negotiate without the experience or understanding needed. This is a terrible corporate decision.

So, this is where I give a tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on it to all the truck drivers out there doing it the right way and keeping the highways safe. Accidents are always going to happen in this business, but a good driver can prevent or lessen the outcome in most cases.

I will finish up this week with please pay close attention to how you’re driving and what is going on around you as you’re sharing the road. There’s a lot going on this time of year, none of which really matters if you don’t arrive there safely. When a near miss occurs, please give a wave that you’re sorry or one of understanding. Be grateful that an accident did not occur and avoid escalating the situation. Let’s all be safe out there. God Bless America.

World Plant a Vegetable

Garden Day

After some weird weather to kick off May, we have finally turned the corner on spring weather! The final frost has passed, so that means it’s the perfect time to plant something!

As the old saying goes, “Give a man some vegetables, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to grow a vegetable garden, and you feed his whole family for life!” Or something like that…

According to Feeding America, 34 million people in the US are food insecure, including 9 million children. In 2021, 53 million people turned to food programs in the US, and 100% of US counties have food insecurities. For the a lot of people, having a vegetable garden could help to ease their family’s food budget, lowering the insecurity risk. Also, people who grow their own vegetables often do so organically, or with less harmful chemical insecticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. This leads to healthier food for families! If nothing else, healthier food is a great reason to start a veggie garden. Not to mention that gardening is rewarding and good for your health. Just plant a garden and see. It is calming, relaxing, and therapeutic. Growing plants is peaceful, too. It is rewarding in many

ways. It affords food for your table. There is also an incredible feeling of achievement when the produce ripens or the flower blooms. And being outside in the fresh air and sunshine will never steer you wrong (but don’t forget the sunscreen!).

Plant a Vegetable Garden Almost Anywhere

Looking for ideas on where to plant your first garden? Millions upon millions of people are already gardening in some fantastic places. Backyard gardens are what typically come to mind. Community gardens also abound. Locally, we have the Red Shield Community Garden hosted by the Salvation Army, and I recently read an article about the Hughesville Borough, also looking at the possibility. But you can grow gardens in lots of places, including containers and pots on balconies, decks, porches and patios. For those who are space-constrained, vertical gardens can be a resolution.

How to Celebrate World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day

You can celebrate World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day by:

– Join in the fun hobby of gardening. Start one today.

– Start a vegetable (or flower or herb). Keep it simple with just a plant or herb or two!

– If you are already a gardener, encourage and help someone start their first garden. Start small, making it easy to handle and less like a chore. Chances are, you will make your garden larger in future years as you grow your gardening expertise. History and Origin of World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day

According to Holiday Insights, this holiday day was created in 2019 by Bob Matthews of Rochester, NY. Matthews is the owner and author of The Gardener’s Network, Garden Hobbies, and Pumpkin Nook. Bob is also an enthusiastic, lifetime gardener.

World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day was created to encourage all of us to feed ourselves, our families and give back to the planet. And also to enjoy a new hobby.

While this day is intended to create a vegetable garden, Matthews encourages you to use this day to plant a flower or herb garden if you prefer. Or, if you are feeling frisky, maybe a little of all three! May 19th was chosen, as the last frost date has passed for almost everyone in the northern hemisphere, where most humans live.

Artisan Hearing Technologies, LLC

I have been a patient of Jennifer for many years now. This year to my surprise Jennifer had her staff check my insurance and I had a $5,000 hearing aid benefit with no out-ofpocket cost to me! If you question if you have insurance call Artisan they can check it for you. Donʼt wait, my insurance plan is changing this year, and itʼs NOT for the better. I absolutely love my new hearing aids, they are rechargeable and I am even hearing better in background noise.

I love the service I have been receiving at Artisan Hearing for years. They even help me with my phone! If you need a hearing aid I recommend Artisan for sure.

Central Pennsylvania Fiber Festival

May 20th and 21st at Lycoming County Fairgrounds

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Various types of fiber are used to make our clothing and other everyday products. And this important product is often overlooked and underappreciated. There is one event, however, that helps to reverse this, and that is the Central Pennsylvania Fiber Festival, which will be held Saturday, May 20, and Sunday, May 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in Hughesville.

Admission is free, as is parking. The event is held at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in and around the Larabee building. Follow the signs and use the Route 405 entrance.

The Central Pennsylvania Fiber Festival is a registered nonprofit created in 2016 dedicated to the education and continuance of processing natural fibers from farm animals to usable products. Focusing on teaching everything from knitting, crocheting, felting, spinning, and weaving, from the shearing of the animals to a beautiful, finished

product.

There will be various demonstrations held throughout each day. Demonstrators include herding dogs, spinning, weaving, flatbed knitting machines, rug hooking, bobbin lace weaving, antique sock machines, basket weaving, and much more. The local spinning & weaving guild will also be doing various demonstrations and holding their monthly meeting on Sunday.

In addition to the demonstrations, there will be over 35 vendors selling fleeces, roving, yarns, felting kits, handmade wooden items, maple syrup, homemade soaps, candles, and processing equipment such as spinning wheels and looms.

Those who attend can register for a free door prize basket filled with goodies.

There is also a ticket auction with auction items donated by the vendors. Those who bring a nonperishable food item will receive a free ticket to the ticket auction, and the food items will be donated to the Son-Light House. Food and ice cream trucks will be on hand.

According to Mike Longstreth, one of the organizers of the event, 2023 marks the ninth year of the fiber festival. It was started to bring knowledge of fiber and the fiber arts to the central PA area. “The objective of the festival is to provide the opportunity for the public to learn about fiber — natural fibers — of all types from animal fleeces to pottery, soapmaking, woodworking, basket making, dyeing methods, etc. There is a small board made up of five people that are artisans and all own small businesses and are dedicated to promoting the importance of the various arts, providing a quality product as well as shopping small and supporting fami-

ly-owned businesses.”

The requirement to have a vendor space is that 75 percent of the items in the booth need to be made from a natural material — wool, alpaca, wood, clay, etc.

Most vendors do this as a hobby while maintaining full-time jobs. All are eager to share and pass on their knowledge. And are as willing to learn and add to that knowledge.

There is also a fleece sale held at the same time. Fiber farmers looking to sell their fleeces can enter the sale for a nominal fee, mark the fleece with the asking price, and hopefully, they are lucky, and someone comes along and

falls in love with it enough to take it home.

There will also be a theme contest this year. They are giving the public a chance to come up with a theme/design for the 2024 festival that will then be used on merchandise and advertising. You can enter the festival, and the board will pick the winner and contact them.

Longstreth said if someone is unsure what to do with raw fiber, there are several hand processors that can help, or there are small cottage mills that can help guide you in the right direction based on the type of fleece you have — preserving the process of turning raw natural material into a usable product

by hand or basic machine.

“I did not know how long it took to make a sweater by hand. I remember my grandmother knitted socks when I was young. Handmade things seem to last forever,” Longstreth told Webb Weekly.

He said anyone looking to learn about fiber, processing, and creating a finished product - this is the place to be!

If anyone wants to come and volunteer, no fiber knowledge is required, we are always looking for help. Contact them through the website.

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

Summer It-Bags

Hands down, the best part of summer for me is getting out and about and making plans with friends. Some of my favorite warm-weather activities include day trips, hiking, breweries with patios, dinner dates, and anything that will wear out my children. And, of course, for those of us who think about these things, with going and doing comes the need to plan outfits. Part of outfits is accessories, and part of accessories are bags. Handbags, totes, crossbody, and even bookbags are all on the table, especially as different activities require different types of bags for both practical and fashionable purposes. Here’s a rundown of this season’s list of it-bags and some suggestions on snagging a few for yourself.

Bernadette Ulsamer

Why Settle for an Ordinary Monument ?

Consider carrying a pouch-style purse for special occasions this season, like weddings. These types of bags are more for show than storage. Unlike clutches, pouches have a strap or handle. I love the idea of a drawstring closure, which can be minimal or bejeweled and sparkly. Macy’s INC International Concept Doris sparkle mesh pouch is definitely

a glamorous option. It’s in the name “sparkle mesh,” and comes in silver or black, and will look striking at any fancy event. I’d also recommend sites like Poshmark or eBay to search for vintage options, like velvet or embroidered clasp and chain bags.

Of course, fancy affairs are few and far between. For everyday occasions or for simply running around, consider a boater tote. This is a fairly practical bag with room to carry all of your essentials this season. I like the classic Boat and Tote Zip-Top from L.L. Bean. It comes in different sizes and strap lengths and almost a dozen different colors. Plus, the heavy-duty cotton canvas is durable enough for this and many summers to come. If you own a boat or find yourself often on the water, then why not have your bag style embrace that theme with a recycled sailcloth tote from Sea Bags Maine? You can even customize your bag with your boat or lot’s name! Boat totes are also great overnight bags for any weekend getaways.

If you’re looking for a more versatile bag this summer, then consider an everyday

bag that can be worn or slung in multiple ways. I love a hybrid backpack/ tote like Bridling’s Backpacker bag. It has the straps for a bookbag and the handles of a tote bag. Plus, side pockets for water bottles and a front zip pocket for essentials like hand sanitizer, tissues, and bandages. For a chicer version of this bag style, check out Fossil’s selection of convertible backpack purses and bags. Their Elina convertible backpack comes in a range of sizes, patterns, and prices for your 9-to-5 bag needs. A good straw bag is a classic summer staple. Whether you’re headed to the beach or the market, there’s no better companion than a straw bag during the warmer months. Straw bags can be made from straw, raffia, or rattan and can come in shapes ranging from bucket-shoppers to extra-large totes to clutches. Even though straw bags can lean toward the practical, I kind of prefer a more novelty color and shape.

QTKJ Mini Semi-Circle Rattan straw bag available on Amazon comes in your traditional khaki but also blue, mint green, yellow, and orange for a pop of color when you’re on the go. Target’s A New Day straw chain shoulder bag also comes in vibrant colors of pink and green with both a removable chain handle and shoulder strap, making it

a day bag and something to wear for nights out.

Another way to add a bit of color to your summer-time wardrobe is with baguettes! Once ubiquitous in the early 2000s, this bag is back on trend. You can check out the selection at Nordstrom Rack or, if you’re searching for an original designer version of this it-bag from back in the day, try searching on reseller sites like ThredUp and the Real Real. Whether new or new to you, these bags are perfect for those summer nights.

If your summer activities are more of the weekend-warrior variety, then gear up with a trail pack. REI’s Co-op Flash 22 print pack comes in several patterns to suit your taste while also having the space for on-the-hike essentials. G4Free 20L lightweight, packable hiking backpack available on Amazon is majorly geared out for camping and kayaking, with a wet pocket, and can fold itself into a waterproof bag. This pack comes in basic black as well as teal and floral/fauna patterns if you’re feeling like adding some print and color to the outdoors.

Whether your summer is packed with fun or just lazy days, hopefully, you’ll have the right bag for whatever your needs.

County Hall Corner: Don’t Mock the Monarchy

By Larry Stout

The coronation of Charles III and his wife Camilla, king and queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms, occurred on May 6th at Westminster Abbey. About 100 heads of state worldwide traveled to London for the occasion. It was estimated that as many as a billion people all over the globe watched this historic moment. Why do so many care about this anachronism known as royalty?

I got a glimpse while living and working in Eastern Europe. I met an American professor who had been teaching in Sweden. He told me about one of his classes at an elite high school where he was advising the students that they had to be prepared for the future but that they could not know with certainty what profession they would eventually take on in life. A number of the students started to chuckle, and he asked them what was so funny. One of the girls volunteered that there was one who was absolutely positive about what her future career would be. The professor asked how that could be — and she said, “Because I am Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.”

In the decade and a half I lived in Eu-

rope, I had the privilege of meeting Princess Victoria as well as her father and mother, King Carl Gustaf, and Queen Silvia. I also was in the general vicinity of Prince (and now King) Charles when he visited Latvia. To Americans, royalty seems like a ridiculous appendage from the past, but I believe that there is something we can learn from the heritage of royal hierarchy.

What makes the European royalty so special is that they are real people who are sitting high but do not look down on others as much as they seek to better the lives of their countrymen in the best way they can. Princess Victoria, for example, has worked very hard. She was raised from birth to take the position of repre-

senting her country to the world. She has had the best education possible, studying in Sweden, France, and Yale University in the United States. She learned business as an intern in agriculture and forestry and also did basic soldier training at the Swedish Armed Forces International Centre. She speaks Swedish, English, French, and German. Yet, she also has dyslexia, as do her father and brother. She suffers from prosopagnosia, which makes it difficult for her to recognize familiar faces. And for a short time, she also suffered from anorexia. She used these handicaps to champion causes for others.

These royals know that they are a living heritage that symbolizes their country, and thus they have to represent the best of their culture and all that their country stands for. Of course, there are media hounds like Prince Harry and his spouse Meghan Markle, the Duke, and Duchess of Sussex, who believe that being royal is a ‘brand.’ These two are good examples of a royal pain in the wazoo. What Europe has is heritage; what we have is privilege — and it almost all comes from money. Do riches make someone better than one who, from

birth, knows they must be an example to their fellow citizens and represent these people to the rest of the world? Or is our own American aristocracy in government, the Rockefellers, the Kennedys, the Bushes, etc., represent their country, or do they represent their privilege as being part of the mega-rich elite? Honestly, would you or I have been able to be intoxicated and drive a car off a narrow bridge and cause the drowning death of a 28-year-old passenger who was trapped inside, and not report it for hours and only receive a two-month suspended jail sentence? The person who did all this and committed this ‘not-a-crime’ in 1969 was Senator Ted Kennedy, brother to Presi-

dent John F. Kennedy. The death of Mary Jo Kopechne probably was what kept him from becoming president, but it did not hinder him from serving in the US Senate for 47 years.

So, do not mock those who proclaim, “Long live the king and queen.” Long live the heritage they represent at its best. In the United States, we have played “Hail to the Chief” since the days of George Washington. What our leaders are to remember is that our country was founded on the principle that “all men were created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.” If only those leading us in our country could remember and represent that great truth.

It was May 7th when I realized that the following Sunday was Mother’s Day. I opened up our refrigerator and got a quick glance at the calendar. I gasped. “Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. Shoot!”

Ty was in the kitchen with me and asked what was wrong. I told him I didn’t realize that Mother’s Day was next Sunday and already had sent in my Webb column for the week. It was too late to send another one in anyways. “Mom. It will be OK. You’ve been sick and don’t know your days. Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

Mother’s Day is so special, and I was bummed. I texted Steph. She texted back, saying that it was nurses’ week, and not only was it nurses’ week, but my momma was a nurse! God’s timing is pretty awesome. What are the chances of me writing about nurses and my momma last week? But I still wanted to pay tribute to all mothers. Including my momma. My mother-in-law. My stepmom. My grandmothers.

There are all kinds of mommas out there. Stay-at-home moms. Working moms. Single moms. Mothers-in-law. Step mommas, foster moms, and more. Each one has a special job. Why do people think that there is only one way to parent? Their way. Everyone is so judgmental. There is no perfect mom. We ALL make mistakes. We aren’t given a handbook when that baby comes. We are only given motherly instincts and family and friends who

help us along the way. It’s true what they say. It takes a village to raise a child.

It’s OK, working moms; we know you feel pressured between your job and raising your beautiful babies. I hope you know that you are doing an incredible job balancing both! It’s hard to leave your babies when they are small, but you are still doing what is best for the family. Your babies know you will ALWAYS be there and are seeing what a hard worker their momma is from sunup to sundown. They will look back and know you did your very best!

Stay at home, mommas. I see you. Hair in a messy bun, holding your cup of coffee, just wishing you could hold a conversation with someone old enough to talk to during these days. You are getting snacks every few hours, changing diapers, wiping noses, and lucky enough to sit down for fifteen minutes just to enjoy that cup of coffee. You are doing your very best!

Foster momma and adopted momma, you are incredible. Raising other people’s children has to be so hard. These children take a special kind of love, and you are it! You are giving these amazing kids a chance at a family of their own, and for that, I salute you! I think it is absolutely amazing what you are doing. If I had an extra bedroom, and hopefully someday soon when we add on, we will. I would love to

Andrea McElroy

think about fostering a child, and I hope I can be as strong as you!

Single mommas. Shout out, girl. You are doing this all on your own, and that is so brave. You are working and raising your babies all on your own, and that isn’t easy. But someday, your child will look back and know that you are so strong! You raised them into this beautiful person all on your own! I know the days and weeks may seem so long, but gorgeous, the years fly by. You are doing amazing and doing the best you can on your own!

Step mommas. This one is tough. I can’t imagine dealing with the exes. I heard some can be pretty nasty. The drama that can come with this label has to be hard. Then taking on the lead as a stepmom is hard too. Some kids want nothing to do with you, even if you did nothing wrong. But some kids need you more than you know if their mom isn’t in the picture. Loving them even though they don’t act like they love you, I am sure, isn’t easy. This is a hard position, but it can be so rewarding, gaining children you didn’t know you would have. I hope you grow a special relationship with them because you do have a beautiful job!

Mothers-in-law, you have a special spot. You instantly gain a son/daughter and welcome them into your family. You love them and take them in as one of your own. Including them in family gatherings that used to be just you and your children. Accepting new members into your family in certain situations, I’m sure, can be tough. You just pray your child picks

the right spouse for themselves and that the person fits right into the family like they have always been there. Loving them no matter what circumstance, because that’s a mother’s love!

Grandmothers, you have one of the best jobs. Spoil them and send them home! Haha! I heard being a grandmother is the best job in the whole world! I know my kids get away with stuff from my momma that I would have never gotten away with when I was their age. But that’s the special part of being a Grammy. It is such a special relationship. Candy before dinner. Later bedtimes. Shopping sprees and more. It’s a grandmother’s duty to love, support and spoil those grandbabies! Shout out to all the amazing grandmothers out there. I have a pretty incredible momma. We talk every day. I’ll never be too old to need my momma. She is so strong and beautiful and gave my brother and me such a wonderful life. She helped build me into who I am today and trust me, that wasn’t easy. She learned patience with me but showed me love and grace. For that, I am thankful. My momma is my best friend, and I love our relationship.

I have a beautiful mother-in-law who has been a part of my life since I was fourteen years old! She has loved me as her own daughter, spoils our family and is eighty going on fifty. Seriously, she is amazing. She has the biggest heart and always has a smile on her face. I am thankful to have the mother-in-law I do. You can’t help but love her. We have been through a lot together!

My stepmother I have truly grown to love

over the years. She would do anything for me and our family. Loves us unconditionally and also has such a giving heart. It’s a relationship in life I never thought I would have, but for a step momma, I am glad she is mine.

My grandmothers were a huge part of my life, and my relationship was so different with both of them. They were both at every concert, game or anything important in my life. They were there for the good and bad in everything. I could count on them both, no matter what.

I am so grateful for the strong and beautiful women in my life. Ladies, you are strong! You are beautiful and deserving of everything. Don’t let anyone ever bring you down as a mother/person. You are doing the best you can in any situation.

UPMC Expert: Keeping Skin Safe From the Sun

Cameron Glagola, D.O. Family Medicine, UPMC

The warmer weather is nally here and it’s time to swap out a beanie and scarf for light layers and sunscreen to help protect you from the elements of the new season. May is Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month, a time to gain an understanding about the most prevalent cancer in America.

According to Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC), about six million people receive treatment annually for all types of skin cancer. Like all forms of cancer, prevention and early detection are key.

Susceptibility and Signs of Skin Cancer

Skin cancer can a ect anyone. However, there are a few additional risk factors that can raise your risk:

– Fair Complexion – If you have light skin, blue or green eyes, and blonde or red hair, you have a higher risk of developing melanoma. Melanoma is the most lethal of the three major types of skin cancers.

– History of Sunburns or Indoor Tanning – Ultraviolet (UV) rays contribute to the development of skin cancer. e number one source of UV rays is the sun and the second is indoor tanning beds. Your risk of skin cancer has an increased range of 55 to 75% through this extra exposure to UV rays.

– Family History – Your risk of developing skin cancer is two to three times higher than average if an immediate family member has ever received a diagnosis.

– Moles and Freckles – More moles and freckles on your body mean more chances that they can be atypical. ese unusual moles could be cancerous.

To evaluate your moles, it is recommended to follow your ABCDEs for each of

them on the basis of:

• Asymmetry (one half of the mole doesn’t match the other)

• Border irregularity

• Color that is not uniform and dark

• Diameter greater than 6 mm (about the size of a pencil eraser)

• Evolving in size, shape, or color

You should assess your moles o en, and if you’re not sure about a particular mole, do not hesitate to show it to your doctor. A full body skin exam is also recommended at least once a year for an even greater layer of early detection.

baseball field, or outdoors in general it’s important to know what you can bring to help protect yourself from the sun.

– Sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection. Choose an option that is resistant to water and has an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30. Apply approximately two tablespoons to any exposed skin daily and give it time to soak in. If you are around water or sweating, reapply sunscreen every few hours.

– A wide-brimmed hat to shade your head, face, neck, and ears.

– Sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays.

– A lightweight cover-up or long-sleeved shirt.

Skin cancer has a 99% survival rate if caught and treated early. Knowing your personal risk, the signs of skin cancer, and how to avoid it from forming in the first place is key. Before you know it, protecting your skin will become a habit and you’ll be golden for skin cancer prevention.

“A

Work

in Progress”

by Jarrett Lerner c.2023, Aladdin $17.99

368 pages

You are a work of art. Your skin is a palette of shadow and light, like a fine pencil drawing. The color of your eyes can’t be duplicated, even by the best painter. Shades of softness top your head, your smile flashes white, you frame it all with personality. But as in the new book “A Work in Progress” by Jarrett Lerner, one bad (re)mark can ruin it all.

By middle school, Nick Fisher had probably forgotten about what he said. It happened three years ago, after all, and it was undoubtedly just another day for him then. But Will Chambers would never, ever forget. Right in front of everybody, Nick called Will “FAT.”

It wasn’t like Will had never noticed, right? It was clear that everybody in his school was skinny, including the teachers. Even his parents were thin, but Will liked to eat and he didn’t think that was a problem. Neither did his friends but after Nick said what he said, Will was embarrassed and he kinda stopped being friends with Dave and Andrew and Devin.

He stopped eating lunch with them because who wanted to sit with a FAT kid? He started asking his mom to buy him outfits that were baggy, to hide the FAT. He stopped eating his favorite foods, but that just made him hungrier.

Mostly, Will spent time in his room, in a corner of the lunchroom, or in the alley where nobody would bother him or look at his body, and he drew pictures in his notebook. He might be too FAT to make friends and he might be too FAT to talk to Jules, the prettiest girl in school, but he

was good at drawing. But then Will — much to his surprise and kinda by accident — made a friend. Markus was a new kid in school, he was cool, he said his family moved a lot, and he acted like he didn’t notice Will’s FAT. Would Will ever get confidence like that? Pick up “A Work in Progress,” page through it, and you’ll notice that there’s not a lot of reading in it. Despite the page count, the story’s small and it repeats a lot, probably more than most adults would tolerate. But this book isn’t for adults, so no problem.

Your 8-to-12-year-old, though, might be intimately familiar with what’s inside author Jarrett Lerner’s story — especially

if they’re different from other kids, bullied, nerdy, non-athletic, overlyteased, or self-conscious. Awkward kids will truly understand what Lerner’s Will is experiencing. LGBTQ kids have heard the laughter, and this is surely nothing new to kids who are overweight. What is new is the comfort they’ll find here. Still, it’s possible that the repetition in this tale will turn some kids off, and its slower pace may cause others to flee. Parents will also want to know that the themes inside here practically scream for conversation, so skim it well before giving your child “A Work in Progress.” The kid who most needs this book will be drawn to it.

How to Make Homes Safer From Fires

Over a five-year period beginning in 2015 and 2019, fire departments across the United States responded to roughly 347,000 home structure fires per year. That data, courtesy of the National Fire Protection Association, underscores the significance of home fire protection measures.

Smoke detectors are a key component of fire protection, but there’s much more homeowners can do to protect themselves, their families, their belongings, and their homes from structure fires.

Routinely inspect smoke detectors. Smoke detectors can only alert residents to a fire if they’re working properly. Battery-powered smoke detectors won’t work if the batteries die. Routine smoke detector checkups can ensure the batteries still have juice and that the devices themselves are still functioning properly. Test alarms to make sure the devices are functioning and audible in nearby rooms. Install additional detectors as necessary so alarms and warnings can be heard in every room of the house.

Hire an electrician to audit your home. Electricians can inspect a home and identify any issues that could make the home more vulnerable to fires. Ask

electricians to look over every part of the house, including attics and crawl spaces. Oft-overlooked areas like attics and crawl spaces pose a potentially significant fire safety threat, as data from the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) indicates that 13 percent of electrical fires begin in such spaces.

Audit the laundry room. The laundry room is another potential source of home structure fires. NFPA data indicates around 3 percent of home structure fires begin in laundry rooms each year. Strategies to reduce the risk of laundry room fires include leaving room for laundry to tumble in washers and dryers; routinely cleaning lint screens to avoid the buildup of dust, fiber and lint, which the NFPA notes are often the first items to ignite in fires linked to dryers; and ensuring the outlets washing machines and

dryers are plugged into can handle the voltage such appliances require. It’s also a good idea to clean dryer exhaust vents and ducts every year.

Look outward as well. Though the majority of home fires begin inside, the NFPA reports that 4 percent of such fires begin outside the home. Homeowners can reduce the risk of such fires by ensuring all items that utilize fire, including grills and firepits, are always used at least 10 feet away from the home. Never operate a grill beneath eaves, and do not use grills on decks. Never leave children unattended around firepits, as all it takes is a single mistake and a moment

for a fire to become unwieldy.

Sweat the small stuff. Hair dryers, hair straighteners, scented candles, clothes irons, and holiday decorations are some additional home fire safety hazards. Never leave candles burning in empty rooms and make sure beauty and grooming items like dryers, straighteners and irons are unplugged and placed in a safe place to cool down when not in use.

Fire departments respond to hundreds of thousands of home fires each year. Some simple strategies and preventive measures can greatly reduce the risk that a fire will overtake your home.

night that two special prayers, one for the United States and one for the new state of Israel would be said at the synagogue service today.

Max Bloom, president of the Williamsport Zionist Chapter said, “We are very happy that the words of the prophets have been fulfilled. It will give Jews and the world at large, more faith in the words of the prophets and in the word of God. We are very happy

that the President of our great country, was the first to recognize the new Jewish state.”

The recognition of the new state by the government came as a great and happy surprise to most of the city’s Jews, as well as those all over the world, and was summed up by Rabbi Biinder. He described it “as the greatest event in the life of the Jewish people” and said it climaxed “2,000 years of prayer.”

Tips for Improving Concentration

In an article published by the Harvard Medical School, Dr. Kirk Daffner, Director for Brain/Mind Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, states that people have trouble filtering out information that is irrelevant to the task at hand as they age. In addition, Dr. Daffner says that the slowing of mental processes is made worse by things such as inflammation, high blood pressure, and the build-up of abnormal proteins that are thought to be toxic to the brain. Many adults begin to notice difficulty

concentrating and/or have memory issues in their 50s and 60s, and up to two-thirds of Americans experience some level of cognitive decline by age 70. This is, in part, due to the fact that the specific parts of the brain that are involved in learning and complex mental activities are naturally shrinking and losing effectiveness. While some physiological changes are inevitable, many issues with concentration are not related to aging and can, in fact, be improved by making some lifestyle changes.

Mindfulness.

The core tenet of mindfulness is about focusing one’s attention on the present moment.

Allow distracting thoughts to float away. Just be in the present without worrying about past or future events. Begin with several minutes per day and work up to one or two sessions of twenty minutes daily.

Dave Bellomo

Research has shown that regular practice of mindfulness techniques allows the brain to “re-wire” and improves everyday concentration. A simple technique is to sit quietly with your eyes closed and focus on your breathing and the sounds around you.

Cognitive Training. Cognitive training is just a fancy way of saying you need to exercise your brain. While Sudoku and crossword puzzles are better than nothing, try computerized cognitive training games online that are specifically designed to improve reaction time and attention. Better yet, learn an entirely new skill that challenges your brain, such as a new language. Sleep. Sleep is not a passive activity.

In addition to getting rest, our bodies produce hormones that are essential for repair. Our brains are also cleaned of toxins that naturally build up over the course of the day. Lack of quality sleep can lead to abnormally high levels of a protein called beta-amyloid, which can lead to a build-up of plaque in the brain that has been linked to dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Diet. Diets that are high in fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those with lots of antioxidants, have been shown to reduce inflammation. Foods such as berries and non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens should be staples. Also, aim to eat healthy fats from foods such

as avocados and nuts. Oily fish such as salmon is also great for boosting your brain. Think Mediterranean diet. Exercise. Movement is not only for our bones and muscles but also for our minds. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that adults get 150 minutes or more of moderateintensity cardiovascular exercise and at least two strength training sessions per week. In addition to the minutes, the key is the intensity. A simple way of defining moderate intensity is an activity such as walking or biking where you are breathing heavily, but can still talk. If you can sing (how well it doesn’t matter), you aren’t working hard enough.

Last week I finally found some time to plant my seedlings, so this week, I will go over some pointers for plant care.

Tomatoes are a staple fruit in most vegetable gardens — tomatoes like well-drained, loose, and fluffy soil. Tomatoes require 6-8 hours of sunlight per day and grow well when supported with a stake or cage. I recommend when using a cage or stake that is at least 6 feet tall. Some tomatoes can outgrow a cage or stake within weeks, so it is best to leave room for them to grow. Pruning a tomato plant can be scary, but it is necessary for the health and growth of the plant. If you are unsure about pruning, simply remove any branches that touch the soil. The “suckers” should also be removed. These are the small leaves that grow in the forks between the main stem and the stem that is producing blossoms or tomatoes. Pruning tomato plants should provide you with larger fruit and less disease.

Lettuce is another very simple vegetable to grow, and most can be harvested in 3070 days. Spacing is important with lettuce.

Romaine, and other tall lettuce plants, should be planted 6-8 inches apart, whereas iceberg and other head lettuce should be planted 12-18 inches apart. Lettuce grows well in loose, well-draining soil and should be lightly watered every day. Lettuce can grow in a shady part of the garden, requiring only 5-6 hours of sunlight per day.

Potatoes are fun to grow. Since these are root vegetables, you will not know what you have until it’s time to dig them up. Potatoes can be harvested around 60-90 days. They should be planted in very loose soil, at least 8 inches deep and 12 inches apart. Depending on the variety, most potato plants will produce 3 to 5 pounds of potato per plant. As they grow, I remove the blossoms from the leaves, making the potatoes larger and healthier.

Most cucumber plants will grow similarly to tomato plants. They can be trained to climb up a trellis, fence, or stake. Depending on the variety, most cucumbers are ready to harvest in 50-70 days. If you prefer a

rewodna.ytilibaileR*PH®relhoK.enigne•P

sweeter cucumber, harvest them when they are small. Around days 30-40, cucumber plants will begin to grow male flowers. A few days later, they will then begin to grow female flowers. To tell the difference, the female flower will have a very small cucumber behind the flower. Within 10-12 days, the female flower will be pollinated, then the female flower will fall off, and the cucumber will begin to grow.

Pepper plants are easy to grow but sometimes difficult to get started. Peppers love the heat and typically thrive as a late summer plant. The harvest date will depend a lot on the weather, but most pepper plants can be harvested around

60-90 days. Pepper plants like slightly dry but moist ground. Each plant should yield 5-10 peppers, depending on the variety. Since peppers can sometimes be heavy, it may helpful to stake the pepper plants to provide support and keep them from touching the ground. Pepper plants require very little pruning. I only prune leaves that turn yellow or develop spots. I find that it’s best to keep as many leaves as possible since they provide shade to the growing peppers, bell peppers are normally picked when green, but if left on the plant longer, they will turn shades of red, yellow, or even orange. As they change colors, they become sweeter. Happy Gardening. #70

Fun Advice to Introduce Kids to

Warmer months are likely to have the whole family eager to dive into outdoor activities. This year, as you tackle the garden, find ways to get the youngest family members in on the action, too.

Not only is gardening an activity you can enjoy together, there are numerous ways to incorporate age-appropriate, teachable moments from counting and colors to responsible care of living things.

Creating a positive first experience with gardening can start with this simple advice:

Dedicate a spot for a junior garden, which allows you to instill a sense of pride and ownership in the little gardener while protecting your own garden areas from ambitious young hands. Provide appropriate tools in child sizes. Just as you would teach a child the finer points of baseball using a bat and glove, demonstrate the joys of gardening with tools such as a rake, hoe and trowel, all of which can be found in sizes more manageable for little helpers.

Let the kids choose what to plant. Whether flowers or food plants, allow children to make their own decisions

(within reason) about what they would like to grow. This can help them engage in the magic of watching items they selected emerge from the ground and grow into their finished forms.

Encourage exposure to unfamiliar plants that entice the senses with appealing smells and flavors. Herbs such as chives, mint and basil are good choices, or consider edible flowers such as pansies or violets.

Set an example for your child to imitate by giving regular and proper care to your own garden.

Remember to bring the lesson full circle by enjoying the bounty of your garden together, whether it’s a small handcut bouquet or a meal featuring your child’s fresh-grown produce. (Family Features, Photo courtesy of Unsplash)

How to Prepare Soil for Spring Planting

Spring is a season of rejuvenation, and perhaps nowhere is that rebirth more noticeable than in the yard. Each spring, grass begins to grow again as inviting landscapes beckon people outdoors.

Extra sunlight and rising temperatures make spring a great time to plant owers, grasses, and trees. To ensure successful planting, homeowners must take steps to prepare the soil. Healthy soil can provide the ideal conditions for roots to take hold, helping plants establish themselves before potentially harsh summer conditions arrive. Preparing soil might seem like an extensive job, but a simple approach may be all that’s necessary to create conditions that promote plant growth this spring.

Clean up the previous months’ mess. Whether homeowners live in regions marked by year-round warmth or places where winter typically features heavy snowfall, it’s a good idea to clean up an area prior to spring planting. Fallen leaves, rocks, grass clippings, and other debris can contribute to compacted soil that makes it hard for plants to establish strong, healthy root systems. Clear

away any debris prior to planting before taking the next step in your soil preparation routine.

Loosen the soil. Once debris has been cleared away, loosen the soil. Depending on the size of the area where you’ll be planting, you may need to invest in tools like a shovel, spade, spading fork, and/or a lawn edger. If you’re planting in a small area, such as a deck planter box that still has soil from last year’s

planting inside it, you can either clean the box and replace the soil entirely or dig around with a handheld trowel, cultivator and/or weeder. It’s important to loosen all of the soil around where you will ultimately plant prior to planting to ensure water can reach the roots and help them establish themselves once planting is completed.

Test and, if necessary, amend the soil. A simple pH test can help determine the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. This is an important step as soil that is too acidic or alkaline can decrease the availability of nutrients the plants will need to thrive. In addition to conduct-

ing a pH test, which can be purchased at little cost at a local home improvement store, homeowners can contact their local Cooperative Extension Service to test their soil quality. These tests will reveal soil pH, but also can shed light on the texture of the soil and other components. Once the test is conducted, the local Coop Extension Service may recommend amendments to improve the nutritional quality of the soil so new plants can thrive.

Soil conditions go a long way toward determining if new plants will thrive. Preparing the soil prior to spring planting can ensure a successful season.

The Basics of Fertilizing a Lawn

Spring marks the return of lawn and garden season. Lawns o en bear the brunt of winter’s wrath, so spring is a great time to nurse them back to health, and fertilizing can be an essential component of that process.

Fertilizing a lawn can be intimidating. An array of fertilizers, with each seemingly designed to address a di erent issue, can make homeowners’ heads spin when visiting their local lawn and garden center. However, fertilizing is a very simple task that any homeowner can tackle. In fact, fears about fertilizing are o en unfounded and can be overcome with some basic knowledge of the process.

Identify which type of grass is in the yard. e home improvement experts at HGTV note that turfgrass is divided into two categories: cool-season grass and warm-season grass. A local lawn and garden center can help homeowners identify which type of grass is in the yard, and this o en depends on location. Fescue, bluegrass and perennial ryegrass are some examples of cool-season grasses, while Bermuda, bahia, St. Augustine, and zoysia are considered warm-season grasses. Identifying which type of grass is in the lawn is important because that will indicate when to fertilize.

Cool-season grasses are typically best fertilized in early spring, while warm-season lawns can bene t from an application just before especially warm temperatures arrive.

Survey the lawn to identify which spread-

er to use. A small yard or a thriving lawn with only a few bald or unsightly patches may not need a full application of fertilizer. In such instances, a hand spreader can sufce. For larger lawns and areas, a broadcast spreader is the ideal option. Spreaders have multiple settings, and the fertilizer package will indicate which setting to utilize when using the product.

Test the soil prior to purchasing fertilizer. e lawn experts at Pennington® note that a simple soil test can reveal soil pH and phosphorous and potassium levels. Soil tests can be purchased at most home improvement stores and lawn and garden centers, and they can help homeowners determine which fertilizer will most bene t their lawns.

Water the lawn prior to fertilizing. e experts at Scotts® recommend a good watering a few days prior to fertilizing a lawn. Such an approach ensures the soil is ready to accept the fertilizer once it’s applied. Follow the instructions carefully. Detailed instructions are typically provided on fertilizer product packaging. Once homeowners have identi ed and purchased the product they need, they can simply follow the instructions on the packaging, including how and when to water a er application, which can make fertilizing less intimidating.

Fertilizing in spring can help a lawn recover from the previous summer and winter, ensuring it’s lush and green when summer entertaining season arrives.

The Benefits of Planting Native Species

Spring and summer present ideal growing conditions for many plants, making these seasons an ideal time to tend to lawns and gardens. Though it’s easy to succumb to the temptation of exotic plants, avid gardeners and eco-conscious planters recognize the significance of native plants. Novices may not realize that native plants are much better for a landscape and the local ecosystem it calls home. Recognition of the many benefits of native plants can make for healthier lawns and gardens and a healthier planet as well.

Native plants are built for local climates. One of the issues gardeners who plant exotic plants run into is keeping those plants thriving when weather turns harsh. For example, exotic plants may require extra watering in areas that experience drought or even long periods without precipitation in spring and notably summer. The United States Environmental Protection Agency reports that at least 40 states anticipate water shortages by 2024. Planting native plants can help to combat those shortages by reducing the need to water plants if conditions become dry in late spring and summer.

Native plants save money. It’s also important to note that native plants save homeowners money. Because they’re capable of thriving in local conditions, native plants tend to require less watering, which can hep homeowners reduce their utility costs. But native plants also require

less upkeep, which means homeowners can save on potentially costly, not to mention eco-unfriendly pesticides and other amendments in order to maintain the look of exotic plants. And though it’s not always the case, exotic plants tend to cost more at nurseries than natives.

Native plants save gardeners time. In addition to saving money, native plants don’t require as much attention. Though spring and summer is a great time to be in the yard, it’s also a great time to be out and about. Because native plants thrive in local conditions, gardeners won’t need to spend much of their free time tending to them. Exotics tend to require a lot of extra attention and effort, especially when conditions become harsh. Spending more time outdoors in harsh weather does not appeal to most gardeners.

Native plants blend in with an existing landscape. Native plants look natural within an existing landscape, adding some instant aesthetic appeal without breaking the bank. When planting exotics, homeowners may feel a need to redesign their entire gardens to create a certain look (think Japanese garden). That can quickly consume a budget and take up a lot of free time in both the short- and long-term.

Planting season marks a great time to revitalize a landscape. Choosing native plants when doing so pays numerous dividends for homeowners and the planet they call home.

The Roving Sportsman… Make Plans for Fall Hunting

By Jon Pries

Ibelieve most folks would agree that the days seem to go by more quickly with the passage of time. Often, before we realize it, days seem to slip by, weeks click away more rapidly, and months seem to fly off the calendar. Where does the time go? So before hunting season seems to slip up on us, it might be a good time to make your plans for this coming hunting season and mark your calendars to firm up the dates you hope to spend afield pursuing your favorite quarry.

At the end of April, the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners met and gave final approval to the 2023-24 hunting and trapping seasons and bag limits. Overall there were not many sweeping or substantive changes from the previous year.

One major shift that applies to our area is that WMU (Wildlife Management Unit) 2H has been eliminated and combined with WMU 2G. WMU 2G now extends westerly to include the remainder of Cameron County and major portions of Elk and McKean Counties.

The seasons and bag limits for whitetailed deer will continue with a Saturday opener to the firearm deer season. There has been much back-and-forth discussion

about possibly returning to the old traditional Monday opener, but for now, it will remain as Saturday for the first day of the firearm deer season. The Commissioners referred to data showing that the move to the Saturday opener was followed by increased license sales by hunters ages 18 to 34 and female hunters.

The amount of antlerless license sales is always a point of discussion among hunters, and for this coming season, the announced number of 1,095,000 is up from the 948,000 allocated for the 2022-23 season. As to our home WMU of 2G, allocations will be 35,000, which is up from last year’s figure of 31,000.

For your planning purposes, hunting licenses will be available online this year for the first time and will go on sale beginning June 26th. You will be able on that same day to purchase an antlerless license. Non-residents of Pennsylvania must wait until July 10th to purchase an antlerless license.

For those of you who make an effort to share our hunting heritage by mentoring either a youth hunter or adult hunter, there is an addition to the opportunities for this coming fall. The board has approved a measure that makes all mentored hunters, including mentored adults, eligible to participate in the October special firearms season for antlerless deer and bears.

If you are planning on mentoring a new hunter sometime this coming fall, it would be very beneficial to do some preliminary legwork now.

If you have a place to hunt in mind already and have permission to hunt there, you are already set. But, if you need to acquire permission to hunt at a new location, it would be wise to make inroads over the coming months. Take the mentored hunter to meet the landowner and ask if there are any chores that the landowner needs help with. The gift to the landowner of a homemade pie or cake or the offering to help cut and split some firewood will go a long way to cementing a long-term relationship and ensuring future hunting opportunities.

Offering to do some coyote hunting over the summer would also please most landowners and further develop a lasting friendship.

Meanwhile, we have now moved into all-day hunting for spring gobblers, with legal shooting hours running from ½ hour before sunrise to ½ hour after sunset. Whether you are seeking to fill your second tag or are still trying to secure the first bird of the season, there is still plenty of time before the closing date of Tuesday, May 30th. Patience remains a key factor, and especially after several weeks already of hunters interrupting turkeys’ normal routines, being patient is even more important.

May – A Good Time to Hit the Trout Streams

Well, trout season is well underway, and hopefully, some of those crowded conditions that occur in those opening days are pretty well past.

Certainly, those first few weeks in April can be very productive, but so can the weeks that follow, especially through the month of May.

Now, I realize that there are many methods for taking trout, including fishing minnows, worms, salmon eggs, and a large variety of artificial “baits” that work just as well as the real live stuff. In addition to all the previously mentioned offerings, in-line spinners are also a good choice in many situations, and even plastic minnow-type lures like Rapalas can be very productive. I’ve used all the aforementioned lures and presentations — often with great results — but I must admit that these days, fly fishing is my favorite technique for taking trout. I remember in my high school days, all my trout fishing was with Mike’s Lucky Seven salmon eggs in yellow. My friends

and I went through a case of 24 jars of salmon eggs in the first month of trout season, and we caught plenty of trout.

What’s interesting, is that when I got into fly fishing, I found I could tie an egg pattern very similar to what I used in those early high school days, and the results were very gratifying. Not only are egg patterns very effective, but other easy-to-tie patterns like various colored mop flies, literally made from the threads of a mop, are also very effective for those early-season trout. I fish the egg patterns and mop flies much the same way I did the real salmon eggs, the difference being now I use a fly rod to present my offering. I keep the rod held high, and the line has no slack. That way, I can feel any tap or hit when a trout takes my offering. Certainly, another good choice for the fly fisherman in the early season is a streamer fly which, of course, imitates a fleeing minnow. In addition to minnow patterns, the early-season fly angler should also be well-supplied with a good selection of nymph patterns.

Ken Hunter

These patterns represent the fly before it emerges from the bottom of the stream to take to the sky above. There’s a lot to pick from, but I would certainly want to have some Pheasant Tails, Gold-ribbed Hares Ears, and bead head Wooly Buggers in my arsenal, just to name a few.

Without a doubt, one of the greatest highlights of each new trout season is taking fish on dry flies; that smash on the surface as a trout sucks in your mayfly or caddis presentation is one of the most exciting ways to hook up to a feisty trout.

I took my first trout on a dry fly this year in about the second week of April; a

nice rainbow on a size 14 Blue-Winged Olive. Blue-Winged Olives are a good fly to have on hand not only in the early season but all summer long. The month of May will also be offering up a number of other patterns, such as Pale Evening Duns, Light Cahills, Drakes, and Green Caddis, just to name a few.

If you are new to this fly-fishing business and you are a little bewildered as to what fly patterns you have to have, I would offer this suggestion; make sure you at least have some 12 and 14 Adams dry fly patterns. The Adams is a good all-around imitation for a lot of caddis and mayfly patterns, and it often gets the desired results.

A Southside Sandwich Scott on Sports

Whether it be sourdough, rye, whole wheat, ciabatta, or just plain white — it’s the bread that makes the sandwich great. Those tasty ingredients packed between those two slices just wouldn’t be the same without the stabilizing influence holding things in place.

As South Williamsport softball coach Tom O’Malley went about the task of putting together the menu for this year’s team, that ‘sandwich effect’ has played an important role. While cooking up a recipe that included just one returning senior starter and six seasoned sophomores putting all the ‘fixings’ together was the task at hand.

“We tinkered with potential lineups and settled on Aleigha Rieppel, Alizabeth Schuler, Sage Lorson, Abby Lorson, and Lily Reidy forming the heart of the order two through six,” O’Malley explained. “Those five are solid hitters. To compliment them, we moved Gianna Goodman from ninth last year to the leadoff spot and moved Kendall Cardone up from eighth to seventh this year.”

For Mountaineer softball fans, it has provided a tasty morsel to consume. Goodman and Cardone have excelled in their new batting order homes; two through six have stung the ball, clearing the table

Scott Lowery

for two developing treats at the bottom of the order in freshmen outfielders Mikaiya Hills and Maddie Pinkerton.

“They’ve really been a spark for us. Gianna is a table setter. She’s been getting on base, stealing bases, and scoring runs. She causes a lot of havoc at the top of our lineup. In the seventh spot, Kendall has been very consistent and has continued to get better,” O’Malley added.

“Both of those girls played the outfield last year but are more comfortable playing the infield. They have done a phenomenal job playing second and third this year. The great thing about them both is that they will do whatever they can to help the team. That’s just their makeup. I’m lucky to have them on our team.”

Both sophomores, Cardone and Goodman, are happy with their new infield home.

“It wasn’t entirely difficult because I had continued practicing ground balls. But moving to third base, pressure-wise, it was different knowing I had to field the ball. The position is quicker and more reactionary, but it created a great opportunity for me. I’ve constantly been working at fielding ground balls. It would be impossible to count how many between our regular practices and then taking ground balls on

my own time,” said, Cardone.

“My confidence has improved knowing the teammates hitting ahead of me are good players. I tell myself if they can do it, so can I, no pressure. It sounds simple, but I just try to put the bat on the ball, hit it hard, and put it in play.

“Ever since last year when we went to Myrtle Beach, I feel like the team has really bonded together well. A lot of us were freshmen last year and playing varsity for the first time. The seniors accepted us. We all talked, nobody felt left out, and we cheered for each other. Even when we made mistakes, there was always someone to give you a hug and pick you back up. That team chemistry has carried year on to this year and has been a big help for ev-

eryone.

“I’m always telling myself, ‘You got this,’ and I’m always telling my teammates the same thing. I hope that provides a big confidence booster for them.

“I’m so proud of the way we have been able to play defense. My teammates are good, and it is great to see how the defense backs up Alizabeth and our pitchers. We work hard at it, and there have been many games we have played without making an error. I hope we can keep playing well and get a lot of wins the rest of the way.”

It’s been much the same for Goodman.

“I grew up playing second base since I started playing softball, so I am used to it. Playing the outfield last year gave me a chance to play, which I was happy about.

But I like playing the infield. “When I come to bat, I’m just trying to get on base and get everything started. I look at it like that is my job. With the hitters we have coming up behind me, if I can do that, good things can happen.

“The last two seasons, I’ve gotten a lot stronger, gotten a little bigger, which has helped both my confidence and the ability to hit the ball harder.

“Our outfielders have made some great catches in key spots. We still have some tough games remaining to get us where we want to go, but we have confidence in our abilities, and we’re going to continue to play hard.

“We all get along so well, which is very important. The better we get along, the

better we play together.”

With the regular season winding down, O’Malley’s crew hopes to achieve bigger goals in the playoffs.

“Overall, our infield has done exceptionally well. Alizabeth is a pitcher that induces a lot of ground balls and depends on her defense. Aleigha at short and Abby at first have each played well, and Lily has pretty much shut down the running game. She is an aggressive catcher and has thrown out several runners. The outfield has been rebuilt with Sage, Mikaiya, and Maddie, and our reserves [McKenzie Mitstifer, Emma McLaughlin, Emily Holtzappel, and Natalya Betz] have done everything we’ve asked of them. I’m really proud of the way the girls have been playing.”

Sporting Matters With Spence… Good Will Golfing

Ifirst met William on the practice green at White Deer Golf Course. I just closed up, and I was stroking some putts. I couldn’t buy a five-footer, and I was struggling. All of a sudden, a nine-year-old kid appeared from the shadows.

HEY MISTER. YOU SHOULD TRY MOVING YOUR EYES OVER THE BALL. YOUR ALIGNMENT IS POOR. HERE. DO THIS DRILL. THAT SHOULD HELP.

Bang. It was like magic. I started draining everything. Could it be this simple? My new best friend definitely helped me. Thanks, kid. I rewarded him with a Lincoln. That’s five dollars. It’s hard to believe that was going back 15 summers. No. I haven’t seen much of William, but we are still chums. I followed him throughout high school and in college. Knauth was off the charts in Williamsport Area. He was one of the best ever. William won three straight District 4 crowns. He wasn’t only a stud golfer. William was also a talented singer and violinist. He was just brilliant. A high honor student. Ridiculously smart. Scary actually.

William continued to shine at Carnegie Mellon. Academics were one thing. Golf was another. Knauth had a scoring average of 71.5 in his senior season. That is insane. My man took full advantage of Mellon’s resources. He was a star. Both on and off the course.

William led the Tartans to the NCAA Division 3 Golf Championships. He also won some major hardware.

I came across an article on William earlier this week. It wasn’t from a local publication. William Knauth was trending nationally. I first saw his name on PGATOUR.com, then again on the GOLF CHANNEL.

My young friend is in the field at the AT&T Byron Nelson Championship on a sponsor exemption after winning the 2022 Byron Nelson Award, given to a graduating senior for his achievements on the course, in the classroom, and in the community. William is the first D3 athlete to win the prize since 2008, and he beat many highly ranked D1 golfers. The AT&T Byron Nelson will be his first professional tournament. Say what? WILLIAM?

Yes. My man William Knauth is play-

ing on the PGA TOUR this week. That is fantastic. I reached out to him immediately.

THANKS, COACH. I WILL DO MY BEST. I PLAN TO WEAR THE WHITE DEER LOGO ON FRIDAY FOR LUCK.

William is currently hanging in. My man carded a first-round 79 on a very difficult course. I and many others were tuned in. I did not see him on television, but I tracked every swing with my phone. Forget making the cut. What an amazing experience. My little friend is rubbing elbows inside the ropes. PGATOUR.com just released another article. WHAT’S IN THE BAG OF THE PH.D. STUDENT? William doesn’t have any sponsors. He learned how to play by watching YouTube.

Knauth totally gets it. His maturity and Midi-chlorian levels are STUPENDOUS. He has entertained the idea of playing professionally. We all have. But William is content with just being William. A graduate student seeking a Ph.D. in Statistics at Columbia Univer-

sity. He actually had to skip two finals to play this week in Dallas, TX.

“I really haven’t much time to practice or prepare,” Knauth told reporters. “I am pretty busy with my research. My game is where it should be or where it was. But I will do my best and keep things in perspective.”

Round 2 is currently underway. My man Will teed off number 10 at 8:00 a.m. He is EVEN for the day and 8 over par. Young William just piped one 331 yards down the fairway.

“My goal this week isn’t to prove that I can compete,” William explained. “No matter how good I get or what scores I post, there are a lot of people who are better than me. But no one else in the field is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Statistics. That’s me. Instead of pretending that I can be the best, it’s just trying to find something unique to what I am doing here.”

Congrats to William. What a great story. And to have him respond brought back so many memories. I can’t wait to see him. Hear all about his experiences. This is incredible. My man Will just made a four-footer for par on the 11th hole of the Byron Nelson. Great stuff. Cheers.
