The Remembrance of Heroism Through Sacrifice

As we kick off the summer season with Memorial Day, please take the time to think about how very blessed we are to call our great Nation home. There will be so much going on wherever you look — from picnics and family get-togethers to graduation parties to folks taking advantage of the long weekend to kick off their summer travel. In our little corner of Penn’s Woods, there will be biking, hiking, boating, and fishing. And, of course, motorcycle riding. Pretty much any outdoor activity you can think of is available for you to enjoy. There will be plenty of ball games to attend or to even play in at those family gettogethers.

Whatever you’re doing, I’m sure there will be picnic food and summertime cuisine involved. This always includes hot dogs and hamburgers, and your favorite side salads. But in our neck of the woods, almost every family has traditions to kick it up a notch. One of my favorites is steamed clams. And,

of course, there will be plenty of icecold beverages at every event. Some families even have a summertime take on drinks to kick it up a notch. So, to get my public service message in a little early, please don’t drink and drive or allow one too many to affect your good behavior in whatever you’re doing.

I just hope we have beautiful weather for the Memorial Day weekend — plenty of sunshine, warm temperatures, and no worries about covering anything due to frost. Most importantly, as you’re enjoying your freedom to do whatever you would like to, remember what Memorial Day is all about. Please take the time to remember, honor, and reflect on those that gave their future for our liberty.

President George H.W. Bush captures

the reality of Memorial Day with the words, “Each of the Patriots we remember on this day was first a beloved son or daughter, a brother or sister, or a spouse, friend, and neighbor.” Please share this perspective with your children and grandchildren so they understand not only the meaning of Memorial Day, but the true cost paid by so many. I believe in the world we live too many people think of the American soldier as a faceless entity within that uniform. By teaching our children, hopefully, we can change this perspective. The importance of the American soldier and the honor, respect, and remembrance they receive must be unwavering.

Toby Keith’s song, “American Soldier,” has become a 4th of July anthem for America. There’s a verse within that

song many Americans need to hear for Memorial Day. I’m glad I don’t have to sing it for you, so here are the words. I’m sure many of you will hear Toby singing in your head.

“And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price. I’ve counted up the cost; I know the sacrifice.

“Oh, and I don’t wanna die for you, but if dying’s asked of me. I’ll bear that cross with honor ’cause freedom don’t come free.”

Those in service to our Nation did not want to leave that empty seat at the table or give up their future. But unfortunately, this fate found them. They are true American Heroes since the founding of our Nation.

I will finish things up this week with another George H.W. Bush remembrance, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget the highest appreciation is not to utter the words but to live them.”

We must be sure to honor the past, support the present, and make sure all veterans and their families are taken care of. Doing so will hopefully provide us with American soldiers for the future.

God Bless America.

While Memorial Day is a long weekend to start summer, let’s not forget that Memorial Day is meant to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country.

Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on

May 30. It is believed that the date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

According to va.gov, local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well. Today, cities in the North and the South claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. Interestingly, nearby Boalsburg claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried.

In 1966, Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say earlier observances in other places were either informal, not communitywide or one-time events. By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities. It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May.

As you enjoy your long weekend, take some time to give thanks to those who gave their lives, so you have the freedom to BBQ and enjoy time with your friends and family.

Please take extra time to say a prayer for the families of the soldiers that have given their lives for our freedom since last Memorial Day.

Please be safe this Memorial Day weekend. Long weekends don’t always bring out the best judgement in people. If you drink, don’t drive. Uber, Lyft, or find yourself a DD. The safety of yourself and those around you aren’t worth risking driving drunk.

Local Reno Post of the GAR Was Civil War Equivalent to Today’s Veterans Organizations

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

As we prepare for Memorial Day 2023, once known as “Decoration Day,” it might be good to look back at an organization that once had an integral and important role in the observance of the holiday for many years into the 1940s.

For many years during the 1940s and 1950s and perhaps before, the post home of the Reno Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, on West Third Street in downtown Williamsport was the site of daily rummage sales. But what was the Reno Post?

The Grand Army of the Republic, or GAR as it was better known, was founded by a group of Civil War Union Army veterans in 1866 to strengthen the bonds of comradeship, honor the memory of the fallen, and, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “to care for him who has borne the battle and for his widow and orphan,” as well as to fight for pension benefits for former Union soldiers.

The GAR became one of post-Civil War America’s most powerful lobbies or political pressure groups. Technically, the GAR was a non-partisan organization, but inevitably it became a valuable political ally of the party of Lincoln, the Republican Party. Almost every U.S. President from Grant to

William

McKinley was a GAR member, including James Garfield, Rutherford Hayes, William Harrison, and William McKinley.

The GAR and its commander, General John A. Logan, were the catalysts for the establishment of Decoration Day, later Memorial Day, in 1868. This day became a sort of high holy day for GAR posts across the country as they commemorated their fallen comrades on that day amid respectful pomp. At its peak in 1890, the GAR had more than 400,000 members nationally.

Locally, after two abortive attempts to establish a GAR post, Reno Post 64 was founded on October 13, 1876, with A.H. Stead as its first commander. The post was named for General Jesse Reno, who fell at the Battle of South Mountain, Maryland. Shortly thereafter, two other GAR posts were established in Lycoming County, the Colonel S.D. Barrow’s post and Colonel Charles Fribley’s post. The Fribley post was made up of area African American veterans and was named for the commander of the Eighth Regiment, U.S. Colored Troops. The Reno Post had the largest membership, and by the first decade of the 20th century, the other county posts combined with the Reno Post. Its post home, beginning in

RENO POST

1897, was at the former Immanuel Church at the corner of Laurel and West Third streets, where the former Midtown Parking Deck was located.

Of course, Memorial Day was the biggest day annually for Reno Post members. These men, many bewhiskered, would stand ramrod straight as they met at the post home for the great procession to the Wildwood Cemetery, where they held a service to honor their departed comrades. They then returned to the post home for a meal prepared by the post’s women’s auxiliary and, following that, often performed another service at the Williamsport Cemetery on Washington Boulevard, where other comrades are buried.

The last living Lycoming County Civil War veteran, Daniel Null, died ironically on December 7, 1941. The last member of the national GAR died in 1956.

As the Reno Post veterans died off, another organization, the Sons of Union Veterans, had the post home, and it was that group that held the daily rummage sales that so many older area residents recall.

By the late 1950s, the old post home had fallen into a state of disrepair and was soon to meet the wrecking ball. There was a repository of precious Civil War artifacts and many caned chairs with the names of each “comrade” and the name of his regiment inscribed on the bottom of the chairs.

Members of Phi Alpha Theta, the Honor History Fraternity at Lycoming College,

took charge of moving these precious artifacts to Eveland Hall on the campus of Lycoming around 1958 under the leadership of my uncle, John Hunsinger, who was later a social studies teacher at Montoursville High School for more than 30 years. A museum of sorts was put together at Eveland Hall, in which my uncle served as the voluntary curator. This museum was around until about 1970, when the artifacts were moved to the new Lycoming County Historical Museum.

He said not more than about a dozen of the chairs from the Reno Post are still around; the Taber Museum has a number of them, and several private individuals have a few as well. One of those who had one of the chairs was Alice McBride. She said her late husband, Paul obtained the chair, and interestingly, the chair has the name of Comrade Paul McBride inscribed on the bottom of it. Alice’s husband did some genealogical research on his family but found that the Paul McBride of the chair was not related to him. The Thomas T. Taber Museum, under the coordination of local architectural historian Robert Kane, has reconstructed on a smaller scale the Reno Post meeting hall. This display gives a good flavor of what that meeting room might have looked like in its heyday, helping to preserve an important and proud part of Lycoming County’s military past and helping to perpetuate the legacy of the important and interesting organization.

Social Connection is Critical to Wellbeing

It is estimated that social isolation and loneliness in seniors account for an additional $6.7 billion spent in Medicare costs each year, mainly due to longer hospital and nursing facility stays. For people still working, missed work due to stress-related loneliness accounts for approximately $154 billion in the U.S. annually. With figures this high, you would expect the government to take notice, and it turns out they did.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, issued a public health advisory on the epidemic of loneliness and isolation and the healing effects of social connection and community. His report warned of the significant problems caused by loneliness and isolation and that people suffering from these things are 26-29% more likely to die prematurely. In addition, those people lacking social connection have the same likelihood of dying prematurely as someone that smokes 15 cigarettes per day! Dying of heart disease is 29% more likely, and dying of stroke is up to 32% more likely if one is socially isolated or lonely. Even a person’s immune system suffers from loneliness, making them significantly more susceptible to becoming seriously ill from viruses and

respiratory illness.

So, with negative health effects on par with alcohol abuse and smoking, can guidelines be created in the same manner for the public to help stop this epidemic? In a May 2023 article published in The Conversation, an online news organization, Dr. Kiffer Card writes that there are things that we can do to keep from suffering from loneliness. Card, an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, believes that much in the same way many governments issue guidelines on exercise and nutrition, there are seven keys that could be followed to increase health and happiness.

1. Have 3-5 close friends. Quality first. While having lots of friends is great, research has shown that everyone needs a few close friends that they can call on. People that have close friends experience significantly less loneliness and depression and are healthier in general.

2. Get 1-3 hours of social interaction daily. Studies show that most people only get approximately 34 minutes of socialization each day. Far less than the recommended 3 hours daily or 21 hours per week. Such interaction might include a

phone call to a loved one or coffee with a friend.

3. Prioritize your strong ties. While we all need both strong and weak ties. Relationships with close family and friends should be prioritized over casual connections. We all need to feel love and validation, and those are things only those closest to us can give.

4. Diversify your network. Though we need to spend time with close family and friends, connection with people less close to us is still important. Make a point to chat with neighbors, make friends at work, and even talk to strangers standing in line at the store. Each type of relationship offers a different kind of support.

5. Recognize the risks of living alone. Studies show that people who live by themselves are at greater risk of having physical and emotional problems. If possible, have a roommate. If that isn’t possible, make it a point to strengthen relationships with friends and family.

6. Make friends. Maintain relationships with friends, renew old relationships, and make new friends whenever possible. People that are busy and connected socially do significantly better in battling loneliness than those who keep to themselves.

7. Make time for solitude. Solitude is different than isolation and is especially important for introverts. Though humans

are social creatures and need time with others, we all need some time alone. Take time out of each day to meditate, pray, or simply go for a walk by yourself. It will help clear your mind and make your next social contact all the more meaningful. In Card’s work as a social and behavioral epidemiologist, he studied how social connectedness and community ties have affected health outcomes in everything from HIV to substance abuse. He and his colleagues have noticed that socially isolated people experience up to a 48% increase in premature death, much higher than the U.S. report, and a 71% greater chance of reporting poor or fair health. Other researchers have reported similar findings and that these individuals are at greater risk of dying from certain cancers, diabetes, and heart disease. Harvard research from the longest-running cohort ever conducted strongly suggested that positive social relationships are the most important factor in determining health and happiness throughout the lifespan and that disconnected people were more likely to be sickly and live shorter lives. The bottom line is that to live our best lives; we need to make an effort to connect with friends and family and stay active socially. So, call a friend, grab a coffee with a co-worker, or take your daughter fishing as often as you can. You’ll be healthier, happier and will probably live longer.

County Hall Corner: Behind the Headlines

By Larry Stout

Back in the days when newspapers were the primary means of information, the size of the headline signified the importance of the event being highlighted. There is actually a science behind this. Try this experiment. Take a regular sheet of white paper, make a small black dot in the middle of the paper, hold it up, and ask someone what they see. I would wager that 99 percent would say, “I see a black spot.” Why don’t they say, “I see a sheet of white paper with a small black spot in the middle?” We instinctively focus our attention on the unusual.

Psychologists tell us that to take in any information at all, we must give it attention, which is through our senses of hearing, seeing, feeling, etc. Now, here is the catch. There are two kinds of attention — conscious and unconscious attention. Conscious attention is what you are doing now; you are consciously using your mental skills to read and understand what I am writing. But the moment a bell rings, or something just happens around

you, you break your concentration and pay attention to that other thing, which we do instinctively, using our unconscious attention. It may be just a moment, but that distraction kept us from focusing on what we had been giving our conscious attention to.

Thus, we need to realize that what we know of as “news” is simply what someone has chosen to be a focus, not for purposes of information, but rather that would get our attention, which could then be used to advertise products. Hence, the old adage in the newspaper industry, “If it bleeds, it leads.” And from the business side, the more it bleeds, the better.

Objectivity is NOT a consideration

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.

American Flags & Rock ’n Roll

Iknow my readers have learned a lot about me over my years of writing. I’m pretty much an open book. I love sharing my life with you all. It warms my heart to have the readers I do. I am so blessed. Thank you for opening the pages to this amazing paper and taking the time to jump into all our articles. We appreciate it more than you know.

So, things you already know about me.

You know I have two wonderful kids, my husband is some serious eye candy, and I’m obsessed with his muscles. You know I love to cook for my family and that I love Jesus. You are familiar with my crazy “cheesy smile” and how much I enjoy making people smile. I say things how they are, and I’m not afraid to stand up for myself or others. BUT did you know that my favorite weekend of the whole year is coming up!?

You’re probably thinking, “Well, geez, it isn’t Christmas or Halloween yet?” Nope. As much as I love those holidays, it isn’t my favorite ‘weekend’ of the year. We have so many wonderful major holidays, and celebrating with friends and family gathered together with traditions and food is the best part! But there is just something about Memorial Day weekend and the kick-off to summer.

How wonderful is it we get to honor our fallen soldiers for an awesome three-day

Andrea McElroy

weekend? I love seeing all the American flags in cemeteries. To know all these men and women fought for our country, so we could live free. It gives you goosebumps if you think about it — how this weekend wouldn’t even have happened if these folks didn’t stand up and fight for this country. They lost their lives for it! For 155 years, America has celebrated Memorial Day. It’s not just a day. They don’t call it Memorial Day weekend for nothing.

From when the first blooms start to grow and the days get longer, I start thinking about how many days until Memorial Day weekend. Even now, I keep watching for the flags to wave on tombstones that are put out specifically for Memorial Day. These are the folks we need to remember as we celebrate this weekend.

As I tune into the Rock ’n Roll 500 on Friday while packing for our long weekend at the river, you better believe I remember why we honor this weekend. There’s something about American flags and the Rock ’n Roll 500 that makes it feel like Memorial Day weekend. It’s tradition!

It will be our first camping weekend of the season, and I can hardly wait! I used to not be a real big camper until we had a family pass down a pop-up camper to us. We love that baby, and I made it so homey for our

See COOKIN on Page 26

place to stay at the river for the past two years. This year, we upgraded to a hard side. A friend of ours wanted to get rid of it. It needed some work, but nothing crazy. We couldn’t pass it up for what he sold it to us for. You wouldn’t believe it if you saw this Jayco and what we paid for it. We didn’t have intentions of even getting a hard side yet. We both said there was no way we wanted to pay for something that you use for half the year. Are you kidding me!? It wasn’t happening.

We planned to save for one in another few years, but God gave us this opportunity, and we took it! I love to decorate and flip things, so it has been so fun for Chris and me to do this camper over and make it ours. The popup is staying with us too. The kids can have friends over, and families can come to spend the night with us now that we can sleep lots more people. Ty pretty much thinks the pop-up is now his. In fact, right now, it’s parked behind our house along the woods because my momma has been staying in his room since her back surgery. He thinks he is King Tut out there with his own little apartment. He just loves having it all to himself.

This Memorial Day weekend will be extra special this year, and all four of us are looking forward to it. Both campers finally parked at the Riverlot, Rock ’n Roll 500 playing on the radio, and our big American flag flying from our flagpole. Family, food, and FREEDOM. Freedom because of our fallen heroes. As we kick off summer with this long weekend, please don’t forget why.

Let’s remember those on Memorial Day. Brown Sugar Glazed Wrapped Sausage

Ingredients:

• 1 package (16 Oz. Size) of Little Smokies

Sausages

• 1 pound Bacon Strips

• 1 cup Brown Sugar, For Sprinkling

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

Cut bacon slices in half and wrap each smokie with a half strip of bacon. Place all the wrapped smokies in a single layer in a baking dish or rimmed sheet pan. Take some brown sugar and sprinkle evenly over the smokies. Bake for about 20–30 minutes or until bacon is nice and crisp (bake times will vary).

These babies won’t last long and don’t count on leftovers.

You can’t get any more American than wieners and bacon!

SUMMER FUN & SAVINGS!

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

Properly Applying Sunscreen

The importance of wearing SPF is well documented. It’s the non-negotiable product that all experts agree should be worn every day — rain or shine — to protect all skin tones against UVA and UVB rays. In turn, it helps reduce the risk of skin cancer and slow down the signs of aging. But are you wearing it correctly? In smearing sunscreen on my kids every morning, I try to get every patch of skin not covered by clothing, including necks, noses, knees, and elbows, but they are very squirrely and have very little patience, so I’m not getting every last inch. This made me wonder, as an adult person not prone to wiggling but also impatient, am I properly protected?

I apply a daily SPF to my face but

what about my neck, throat, ears, hands, and hair? Until recently, I didn’t even think about protecting my scalp, but now I’m on the search for hair and scalp mist with SPF. There are so many products and types of sunscreens available, especially those that crossroads with beauty products and brands. There are mineral SPFs, lotions, sprays, and just about as many techniques to apply sunscreen. Here’s a rundown of some basic tips and tricks to help you start the summer all SPF-ed up.

First, apply sunscreen in layers to combat the white sheen that many sunblocks can cast. If you have any amount of skin pigment, it’s challenging to avoid that white tint. So instead of gooping it on, start

with small dollops and work it into your skin. And it’s best to moisturize before sunscreen. A little moisturizer will help spread your sunblock while applying it on dry skin can also cause a whitish tint.

It’s best to give sunscreen a good 15 minutes or so to absorb before heading outside. And if you’re spending all day outdoors, reapply as best you can every two to three hours. You’ll also want to take into account your activities.

Obviously, swimming requires water-proof sunscreen and regular reapplication, as do heavy sweat activities and outside chores. Wearing a hat and rash guards provides even more protection and saves you from fuller-body reapplication.

Don’t forget your neck, ears, scalp, hands, and feet. These areas of skin are the most neglected when it comes to sunscreen. The neck, throat, top of the ears, back of the hands, and feet before you put on sandals should all get sunblock. Plus, there’s nothing worse than a savage burn on the old melon. Even if you have a full head of hair, you should consider using a scalp and hair SPF mist to protect not only your head but also the health of your hair. Too much sun can cause drying and

breakage on even the thickest of locks. For the face, if your day cream doesn’t have SPF built in, I recommend using a specialized face sunscreen since traditional sunblocks feel and go on greasy, potentially clogging pores. Like you have different creams, soaps, and lotions for different parts of your body and skin, you can have different types of sunscreens. For days when you’ll be mostly inside, you can utilize tinted sunscreen in lieu of a standard foundation. You can even create your own version by mixing your sunscreen with your foundation on the back of your hand and then apply with a makeup sponge or brush. That’s one of the best beauty DYIs out there!

It’s also worth noting that the dose you must use to get the protection promised on the packaging is the same for all sunscreens, so even if you’re wearing a higher factor, it doesn’t mean you should reduce the amount you’re applying.

Of all the skin-care products we use, sunscreen is the most powerful and the most important, so please, even if you are running late, and the dog is whining, and the kids are being brats, don’t skip getting everyone protected this summer.

Modern children have somewhat different ideas of what constitutes entertainment, especially when compared to youngsters from a generation or two ago. While it was once commonplace for kids to be out and about with their friends riding bikes and spending time in each other’s backyards — only returning home when the streetlights came on — modern youths spend lots of time at home and indoors on their devices.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids between the ages of

eight and 18 now spend an average of 7.5 hours in front of a screen each day. That figure only accounts for recreational time, and doesn’t include the hours kids spend

on computers or tablets for educational purposes. In addition, social media is a large part of kids’ days. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry indicates 90 percent of teens between the ages of 13 and 17 have used social media, and 51 percent report visiting a social media site at least daily. Younger children also use social media, with a recent poll from C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital saying 32 percent of parents of kids between the ages of seven and nine reported their children use social media apps.

A classic children’s game night might be just what the doctor ordered to draw kids away from screens and provide a healthy

respite from the barrage of information coming their way through the internet. With these tips, a game night can be a successful way to help children engage socially in person.

Pick a theme

Unite all elements of the game night by selecting a theme. For example, if you will be pulling out the classic game Operation™, pre-purchase inexpensive lab coats or doctors’ scrubs for participants to wear. Serve foods shaped like various body parts (borrow from some Halloween ideas) and invite guests with an invitation that serves as a “Prescription for Fun.”

Choose a good time

Even though “game night” implies the

gathering takes place in the evening, choose a time that works best for most. Perhaps meeting directly after school for snacks and play before dinner aligns better with everyone’s schedule. Parents can take turns hosting to give children something to look forward to once a week.

Shop together

Bring the kids along to the store to select board games and other activities that appeal to them. Explain that the majority of game nights will be dedicated to nonelectronic games. Parents can organize game night how they see fit, but working one video game night into the rotation each month can up the fun factor for kids.

Take it outside

“Games” encompass a wide array of activities. Organize a pick-up wiffle ball game in the cul-de-sac or an after-dark manhunt game with flashlights (agepermitting). Families with pools can rotate having kids over for pool games, which can include volleyball, diving games or Marco Polo.

Plan in advance

Know what kids will be playing before guests arrive to cut down on arguments over which games to play, which only wastes time. An older child or an adult can chaperone.

Game nights can be fun ways for kids to interact away from screens.

How to Enjoy a Healthy Summer

Colds might not be as common in summer as they are in winter, but anyone who has ever had a cold when the weather outside is warm and inviting knows just how unpleasant a runny nose, sore throat and lack of energy can be when everyone else seems to be outside soaking up the sun. Indeed, there’s no substitute for feeling fit and healthy in summer.

A healthy summer is one when individuals avoid illness and make the most of a time of year when no one wants to battle colds or other issues that affect their well-being. The following are a handful of strategies that can help people enjoy a healthy summer.

Protect your skin from the sun. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends individuals apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun-protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher before going outside. Sunscreen should then be reapplied as necessary and especially after swimming or excessive sweating. The American Cancer Society notes that sunburn that blisters can increase risk for skin cancer, but sunburns affect short-term

health as well. Studies have shown that sunburn adversely affects immune system response, which could make people more vulnerable to viruses like COVID-19 or the common cold.

Limit alcohol consumption. Social schedules tend to fill up in summer, as seemingly everyone wants to host a backyard barbecue. The party vibe synonymous with summer leads to increased opportunities to drink alcohol, but excessive amounts of alcohol and summer sun are a bad combination. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, hot summer days increase fluid loss through perspiration, while alcohol contributes to fluid loss through an increased need to urinate. Significant fluid loss can lead to dehydration and heat stroke.

Eat the right foods. Summer is not typically as hectic a time of year as

other seasons, particularly for parents accustomed to driving kids from one activity to another during the school year. But come summer, weekends filled with social engagements and a greater desire to be active outdoors can prove exhausting. The CDC notes that a diet filled with colorful fruits and vegetables supports muscles, strengthens bones and boosts immunity. That can make it easier to handle a physically active summer regimen and ensure that the immune system is in better position to fight off anything that may want to get in the way of summer fun.

Get adequate sleep. What’s better

than a midday summertime nap? The answer to that is better sleep overnight. Adults should aspire to get between seven and eight hours of sleep each night, which can fortify their immune system and ensure they don’t miss out on any summertime fun. According to the Mayo Clinic, sleep deprivation can lead to decreased production of proteins known as cytokines, which are vital to fighting infection and inflammation.

A healthy summer makes for a more enjoyable summer. By embracing various immune-boosting strategies, individuals can make this summer even more fun.

How

to Make Summer Travel More Affordable

Summer is peak travel season. Whether vacationers plan to travel internationally or domestically, they can expect to pay top dollar as they head o for parts unknown.

Much has been made of in ation over the last year-plus, as the cost of seemingly everything has risen considerably since early 2022. And the cost of travel has seemingly increased by an even greater percentage than the cost of groceries. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index indicates the cost of airfare increased by more than 25 percent between January 2022 to January 2023.

ough travel has never been inexpensive, the rising costs noted in the Consumer Price Index have scared many consumers into staying home, However, consumers who want to travel but don’t want to break the bank can try various strategies as they seek to get out of the house this summer. Travel domestically. With airfare costs skyrocketing, now might not be the most budget-friendly time to travel overseas. ankfully, would-be vacationers can still get away. Average

gas prices in early spring 2023 hovered around $3.43 per gallon, which is nearly $1 less per gallon than the year prior. By driving to their destinations, vacationers can save substantial sums of money and also maintain greater control of their trips, something that isn’t always so easy in an era marked by routine ight delays and cancellations. Change your timeline. If a faraway dream destination beckons, travelers might still be able to make it work

if they have the flexibility to alter their timelines. Rather than taking a Monday through Friday off from work, consider starting and ending a vacation in mid-week. It’s generally less expensive, and sometimes significantly so, to fly mid-week compared to flying Friday-Monday. Cash in your credit card points. Another way to ensure summer travel doesn’t put a big dent in your savings is to utilize cash back rewards or airline miles linked to your credit card account. If you have a lot of cash and/ or miles saved up, the coming summer of expensive travel could be the ideal time to use them.

Consider a homestay over a hotel. Homestays, which includes bookings through sites such as Airbnb and VRBO, are typically much less expensive to book than hotel rooms. But homestays also save travelers money on food, as many listings feature fully operational kitchens that can help travelers avoid dining out three times per day over the duration of their trips.

Travel is a significant expense as consumers continue to confront sharp increases in prices on various goods and services. However, it’s still possible to vacation without breaking the bank.

Wasd Education Foundation Presents $8,701 To Curtin Intermediate OM Team Headed to the World Finals

The Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation (WASDEF) presented $8,701 to Curtin Intermediate School’s Odyssey of the Mind (OM) team, which heads to the World Finals at Michigan State University next week. The education foundation was able to contribute a combination of donations designated for the team from those in the community, area businesses and its Annual Fund.

The Curtin team competed at the state competition in April, earning a secondplace finish for “The Most Dramatic Problem Ever.” Coached by Amy Harpster and Kelly Campbell, the team is comprised of McKay Campbell, Hadley Diemer, Piper Fox, Alexander Frank, Haddie Harpster, Addyson Harrison and Charlie Vanaskie.

OM teams from WASD have been successful at the programs regional and

state levels, having earned coveted spots at the World Final competitions for the last eight consecutive years. Last spring, Cochran Primary’s team placed 10th in international round. Odyssey of the Mind is a competition that blends creativity, engineering and teamwork. It is 100 percent studentdirected, with adult coaches acting as guides.

UPMC Expert: Minutes Matter in Stroke Emergencies

Cynthia K. Anderson, MSN, RN Quality, UPMC

Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke, and unfortunately, every three and a half minutes someone dies of stroke. A victim can lose up to two million brain cells every minute during a stroke, but immediate care helps reduce the stroke’s impact and most importantly can save that person’s life.

BE FAST

If you think that you or a loved one is having a stroke, remember the acronym

BE FAST.

• Balance – Does the person have a sudden loss of balance?

• Eyes – Has the person lost vision in one or both eyes?

• Face – Does the person’s face look uneven or appear to droop?

• Arms – Is one arm weak or numb?

• Speech – Is the person’s speech

slurred? Does the person have trouble speaking or seem confused?

• Time – Call 911 NOW!

What To Do

If any of these symptoms arise, do not hesitate to call 911 right away. Rapid treatment is proven to lead to a better recovery; time is precious from the moment stroke symptoms appear.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), patients who arrive at an emergency department within three hours of their first symptoms often have less disability three months after a stroke than those who received delayed care.

A CDC survey also stated that 93% of respondents recognized sudden numbness on one side as a symptom of stroke, but only 38% were aware of all the other major symptoms and knew to call 911.

Ultimately, the chances of survival are greater when emergency treatment starts immediately.

Why Strokes Happen

A stroke most often occurs when blood flow to the brain becomes blocked. This blockage may be caused by the following:

• A build-up of fatty substances along an artery’s inner lining causing it to narrow, reduce its elasticity, and de-

creases its blood flow.

• A clot forms in an artery supplying blood to the brain.

• A clot forms somewhere in the body — often the heart — and breaks free, traveling to an artery supplying blood to the brain and becoming lodged there.

• A broken blood vessel that bleeds into or around the brain.

Doctors will diagnose stroke with neurological exams, blood tests, and other tests to determine the cause, location, and amount of damage.

Stroke Prevention

The best way to prevent a stroke is to become aware of the risks and to try to

minimize them.

Maintain a healthy weight by exercising regularly and eating more fruits and vegetables than salts and fats. Refrain from smoking and drink alcohol in moderation. Check your blood pressure frequently and follow your health care provider’s recommendations for keeping it in a safe range. Certain medical conditions or genetic factors can increase the risk of stroke. Talk to your physician to find out if you are at risk.

Rotarians Hear Stirring Address on Memorial Day

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Frederick A. Godcharles of Milton, state librarian, historian and patriot, delivered a masterful speech at noon today for the Williamsport Rotary Club at the Lycoming Hotel. The occasion was the club’s annual Memorial Day Meeting and members of the Reno Post, Grand Army of the Republic were guests of honor. As compared with other years there was a mere handful of these Civil War veterans — only seven, to be exact. They were Willard H. Stedden, Henry H. Johns, G.W. Heim, E.B. Mott, William G. Barndollar, David Blue, and John M. Young. The latter, a Rotarian, presided as chairman of the meeting and introduced the speaker.

Mr. Godcharles, the son of a Civil War veteran and himself, a veteran of the Spanish-American and World wars, emphasized the sacred impressiveness

of Memorial Day, and the wonderful tribute to the Flag, and marshaled incidents and facts from history to show the part that Pennsylvanians have played in wars.

One of the strongest points developed in the course of his address was the fact that the four principal wars in which the United States has had a part were in the cause (first) liberty; second, unity, third, humanity, and fourth, democracy.

Mr. Godcharles brought his address to a fitting conclusion by a recital of Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address.”

Preceding the address, Dr. A.M. Weaver, city superintendent of schools, called attention to excellent schoolwork at the Curtin building, William E. Milliner spoke on the exhibit of the American Institute of Architects in the Weightman Block, and Ward French talked about the work of the Community Concert Association.

Faith Moving Forward

(Note from Pastor Tim Hartzell: Kerri Girton is our church’s Worship Arts Director. She also directs our Growing Faith Preschool. She provided the sermon for our services on Mother’s Day. After hearing it, I encouraged her to turn her message into a Faith Conversations article. Kerri, thank you for bringing such a valuable message to our readers.)

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have a special message for the ladies. Actually, it’s a message for anyone who struggles with having faith in

themselves — or even in God.

In a callous world that mercilessly judges and compares everything we do to an impossible standard, it’s not unusual to think, “I am not enough.” It is a very defeating thought — and for some — it can even be self-destructive. I’m guessing we’ve all been there. Thankfully, God’s Word has some very important truths for us!

First, we need to remember that we are the image-bearers of God. That’s how He created the first humans in the Garden of Eden — and it is how He cre-

ated us — all of us. So, when we doubt ourselves, we are doubting His image. This doubt keeps us from moving forward in our faith.

In the book of Ruth, we can see a beautiful example of someone who moved forward in faith even in the face of incredibly difficult circumstances. Ruth married into a family where all the men died in quick succession, leaving the ladies without husbands and sons, providers and protectors - a dangerous

situation in those days. Her mother-inlaw, Naomi, told her widowed daughters-in-law to go back to their homelands to find new husbands and carry on with their lives. But Ruth refused to leave Naomi and made a powerful declaration of loyalty (Ruth 1:16-17). She realized her worth was not based on her marriage or the painful circumstances around her. It was based on who God had made her to be in His image: loyal and kind. As an image-bearer, she didn’t leave just because the going got tough!

Little did Ruth know that many years later, one of her descendants would be the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

She was an image-bearer of the Almighty — and friend, so are you. If we approached our own relationships and choices with such image-bearer confidence, we probably wouldn’t pay attention to those nasty voices that tell us we’re not enough. I hear them often, and maybe you do too. As image-bearers, we must overcome them by declaring, “God has made me enough!”

Second, we need to listen for the voice of God. Moses also heard those nasty voices loud and clear. God wanted him to deliver the Israelites out of a really bad situation — and Moses gave God lots of excuses about why he wasn’t good enough for the job. God

basically answered with, “I will handle it! Trust me!” If we take the same approach and say our doubts aloud to God and then LISTEN to what He says through Scripture and prayer, we can stop the effect of those nasty voices in their tracks because God’s voice is full of love.

I’m a mom of two awesome early teenage girls. Their age group is on this mamma’s heart big time now. They’re getting messages from every direction telling them everyone else is happier, thinner, prettier, and has more friends. Girls, don’t believe it! I’m serious. It’s a lie that Satan has used for a very

long time. Why would he recycle that old lie again and again? BECAUSE IT WORKS.

Satan is called “the accuser of the brothers and sisters.” I heard the same lie as a young teen — and even now, sometimes, and I bet all the other ladies out there did too. But you are exactly who you were created to be! You are a child of God. You are so special and have so much potential, and I know God has a plan for you.

Don’t be tempted to compare your life to someone else’s. You don’t know their

struggles. Don’t be fooled by the wrong voice, and don’t compromise yourself to prove yourself.

God’s voice is still and small, and He loves you. Don’t underestimate your family and your church. God put us in your life for a reason, just like Ruth and Naomi had each other. Not one person here is perfect. We’ve all gone through stuff, so lean in when you need it. We’re here to stand by you.

Third, loving others requires you to love yourself. When you believe you are unworthy, it’s not a far leap to be-

lieve others aren’t worthy either. Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” so if you don’t love yourself, how can you love your neighbor?

That was Jonah’s problem. Jonah is famous for getting swallowed by a big fish, but the moral of the story is actually his lack of love for the wicked people of Nineveh. He didn’t want those rebels to experience God’s grace — likely because Jonah struggled with receiving God’s grace. When we understand how much grace God has poured out on us because of His great love for us, we can’t help but pour that grace and love on others.

Let’s face it; nasty people don’t know

how to love themselves. It’s so sad — and it makes me ask myself, “Do I have a Niniveh?” Is there someone God has asked me to love — and I run the other way? I don’t want to do that. I want to love people so hard that they can only see the One I bear the image of. I’m guessing we can all do better — and it all starts when we learn to love ourselves as God loves us — and then move forward in our faith.

So, let’s get on with being who God has created us to be: loving, confident image-bearers that have a mission of spreading the Good News of His love and grace. You are a child of God. Now, move forward in faith!

The World of Weird Words

By Joseph W. Smith III

Snollygoster. Numpty. Absquatulate. Gonk.

Yes, those all are actual words. They’re taken from a list I started years ago, when I was teaching English at Loyalsock High School.

Inspired by three students who compiled an oddball vocab list for fun, I instantly began amassing my own; eventually, I turned it into one of our weekly 20-word lists — figuring that funny but for-real words like “futtock,” “faff” and “frenulum” would help break up the drudgery of English.

Those three partners-in-crime were Becky Heilmann, Jessica Reese and Mike Drawbaugh (though the ladies are now married and have different last names). They were juniors at the time, and thanks to them, I’d soon composed other goofy-word lists for my freshmen, sophomores, and seniors — giving me a total of 80.

Since then, I’ve kept a constant eye out for more; nearly 20 years later, my list now includes well over 2000 words — in a document labeled “confusticated gobbledygook” (yep, both real).

Not knowing quite what to do with this lexicon, I finally decided I’d share some of it with my Webb readers — along with pronunciation, definition and any other pertinent trivia.

My rule on this list has been, by the way, to restrict it largely to words encountered in my own reading, rather than plundering books

on the subject — or even grabbing every “word of the day” off dictionary.com.

I also try to use only items listed at that reliable site — rather than Google, for example, which is much more permissive and not terribly official.

As in Scrabble, I avoid proper nouns — though unlike that habit-forming game, I do allow hyphenated terms, along with the occasional two-word compound.

So here’s our first set of seven — one each day till next week:

aa (AH-ah; noun) – What better way to open our inaugural list than with this ultimate start-of-the-alphabet word? It’s a Hawaiian term meaning dried lava that is sharp, rough, or jagged — as in, “Who put this aa on my shish kebab!?” Or maybe it’s just what you say if you walk over the stuff in bare feet.

argle-bargle (AR-gull-BAR-gull; noun) –Related to “argument,” this British term refers to a noisy dispute; also rendered “argy-bargy ” boustrophedon (boo-struh-FEED-in; noun) – An ancient writing method — still used occasionally today — in which lines run alternately left to right and right to left. (Note that some world languages, unlike English, always run right to left across the page.)

In boustrophedon, the reversed lines have backwards letters too! The word itself comes from Greek terms referring to the way an ox turns back and forth while plowing.

The Wikipedia entry on this phenomenon observes that U.S. and Canadian townships use “boustrophedonic” numbering — as do dentists when identifying teeth; and some

– Auctioneer –Chuck Kindlimann AU-003818-L

artifacts from Rapa Nui (a.k.a., Easter Island) feature boustrophedon in the awesomely named Rongorongo language — which, says Wiki, “remains undeciphered.”

bumfuzzle (bum-FUZZ-ull; verb) – Term from the American South meaning to confuse or fluster — as in, “We sure feel bumfuzzled by the way y’all talk.”

festschrift (FEST-shrift; noun) – From the German for “festival writing” (or “feastbook”), this refers to an anthology of essays by various writers penned in tribute to a colleague, usually on the honoree’s retirement. Such collections have been published for C. S. Lewis, Isaac Asimov and Richard Dawkins; according to Wikipedia, one notable series honoring German historian Joseph Vogt has reached more than 80 volumes.

trichobezoar (try-co-BEE-zore; noun) – A

hairball in the stomach — or, perhaps, on your nice new carpet (as in, “Ew — you can clean it up this time, dear!”). Though not at dictionary.com, the word is well attested in medicine. And yes, human beings can have them too.

vinegarroon (vin-uh-ger-OON; noun) – A non-venomous “whip scorpion” of Mexico and the American Southwest, the aptly named vinegarroon emits an acidic-smelling liquid when threatened. Not actually a scorpion (it only looks like one), the creature is in fact a member of the arachnid order “Uropygi,” or “Thelyphonida” — which can also include “Schizomida.” So … there are three additional oddball terms at the end of this week’s list. Just making sure you get your money’s worth.

Or should I say “spondulix”?

The Bookworm Sez

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

“Who Cares: The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving, and How We Solve It” by Emily

Kenway

c.2023, Seal Press

$30.00

304 pages

It’s awfully dark at 3 a.m., but there you were, wide awake. You might have heard your name called, but you couldn’t be sure so you laid in bed, waiting, too exhausted to move. If Mom needed you, she’d call once more and you’d tend to her needs then.

It’s 3 a.m. but, as in the new book, “Who Cares” by Emily Kenway, there’s no punch-clock in this job you’ve assumed.

For most of her life, Emily Kenway’s mother was a strong, independent woman. She raised Kenway and her sister singlehandedly, she held a great job, and she dreamed of traveling in her retirement. Sadly, she was diagnosed with cancer at about that time; she soon needed a medical advocate and then, help.

Because she was in a position to tackle it, the job fell to Kenway.

It’s no surprise, Kenway says: the vast majority of caregivers of elderly or ill relatives — whether related or not — are women. In this, she points out, there is no “gender equality.” She wonders if it has anything to do with the facts of

intimate care and feelings of comfort or embarrassment. She muses about all the assumptions that make people automatically assign a caregiving job to a daughter or sister, even if she’s physically or emotionally unable to handle it, even if she has a successful life and a job she’s reluctant to relinquish. Remember, Kenway says, many caregivers are “essential workers” that don’t get paid. It’s very frustrating, but Kenway shows how caregivers have found ways to cope. Having like-minded support is key, but it needn’t be in-person: she and people

around the world gather once a week for Zoom groups, in which they discuss issues and offer succor. She says artificial intelligence is making strides in the area of home caregiving, which takes some of the pressure off carers. Caregivers learn to broaden the “conception of kinship.” And in some cases, caregivers have found ways to make government laws work for them...

If you cracked open a copy of “Who Cares” and you found it seething with anger, would you be surprised? You shouldn’t be — and author Emily Kenway tells you why.

Once you know — and caregivers already do — you won’t be alarmed to see the clear exhaustion and frustration that line the pages of this book, either. There’s

no softening of either status here; Kenway is wide-open and honest with her feelings, which could be comforting to readers who are experiencing the same but can’t say it out loud.

These emotions, it should be noted, are properly aimed: readers will be relieved to see that they’re directed outward and not at Kenway’s beloved mother. There’s also a list of demands directed at congresspeople and representatives here, in case you want to contact yours.

Absolutely, this book is for any caregiver now, and for readers who understand that they’ll be on the receiving end of it all someday, in all likelihood. “Who Cares” is a warning, and a book to keep you awake at night.

By Jon Pries

Hunters are the “salt of the earth.”

Yes, without a doubt, there are a few exceptions — you know — the ones who usually make the news, like the occasional slob hunter or poacher. They are the ones who seem to be talked about most often, especially by those who hold some degree of opposition to hunting in general and usually know little about the subject or have never experienced the joy of it all.

As with any group of people, be it

restaurant workers, schoolteachers, or race car drivers, they can all be defined by a bell curve, with a small percentage at the top and the bottom and the bulk of the group falling somewhere in the middle. The small percentage at the bottom represents the “bad guys” or takers, with the same small percentage at the top representing the greatest contributors or givers, and the bulk somewhere in the middle consisting of those who enjoy hunting and do so ethically. At the same time, they also add to the financial contribution made by all hunters.

It is today’s hunters who are the greatest

contributors to the conservation efforts made on behalf of all wildlife — not just the species that they may prefer to pursue. Many species-specific organizations today focus on one type of animal or bird, such as the National Wild Turkey Federation. The bulk of such conservation organizations have youth-oriented programs, education, and safety-related programs and devote a great deal of time and money to conservation efforts. In their conservation interests, conventions, conferences, and seminars are held, wherein how-to information is shared regarding developing food plots and managing both woods and fields to benefit wildlife by improving both cover areas and food sources. The greatest side-benefit made by each conservation group is that whatever work is done on behalf of one species will

also benefit most other species that already inhabit the area.

A great number of non-hunters really are just not aware of how much work hunters accomplish in the name of conservation. It is this work that ultimately benefits not just all wildlife but also benefits all people who enjoy wildlife. It has not been that long ago that the wild turkeys’ numbers throughout the United States were in serious decline.

Through establishing the National Wild Turkey Federation and through their work with state agencies and volunteers (usually hunters), those dwindling turkeys are now at a level that supports a viable hunting season in each of the 48 continental states plus Hawaii. Through the continued management efforts of the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the help of

volunteers, our state herd of elk has grown to a size that now allows a hunting season to maintain the herd size at a sustainable level. The wild turkey and the elk are both great examples of how the efforts of hunters now provide the opportunity for everyone to enjoy seeing and studying these great creatures.

In 1937, the Pittman-Robertson Fund was established along with the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, into which excise taxes were paid by firearms and ammunition manufacturers on their products, as well as archery equipment manufacturers. These excise tax dollars collected since 1937 are specifically designated to be used by state wildlife agencies for conservation and related purposes. Because of the purchases of these firearms, ammunition, and archery

equipment by hunters and shooters, a milestone has been achieved, and a recent announcement has revealed that the excise tax contributions just topped $16.1 billion! When adjusted for inflation, the total is more than $25 billion!

The general public needs to be aware that for most hunters, it is just not the taking of game that is the most important consideration; it is doing the work that is necessary to protect and conserve all wildlife for future generations to enjoy that is critical. Just as we truly need to thank a veteran for all the freedoms we enjoy in this great and unique country of ours, we also need to thank a hunter for the rich abundance of wildlife we enjoy! Responsible and ethical hunters should hold their heads high!

For many years one of my favorite shing forays was to head o to the Saint Lawrence River with some friends to sh for northern pike. We would sh from the break of day until sunset, and our goal was to see how many pike we could catch and release over three or four days of shing.

If you are into shing, you are well aware that “northerns” are long, narrow-bodied sh with a mouth full of very sharp teeth, and you de nitely need to use great care when retrieving your lure. ey are great ghters when hooked and lots of fun to catch, but unfortunately, much of our Pennsylvania waters do not have northern pike, or they generally don’t exist in great numbers.

Enter the chain pickerel. e chain pickerel is also in the pike family, and it’s very similar in shape — long and narrow, and it too is well equipped with plenty of sharp teeth. e name comes from the chain-like pattern on the sides of the pickerel. Whereas northerns can reach lengths well into the upper thirties and more, chain pickerel generally range in the teens

and, on occasion, will get into the twenty-plus range.

Like the northern pike, the chain pickerel is also a willing combatant and can be a lot of fun to catch. While they can be made into a meal, most people don’t bother because, like all the Pike family, they are very boney.

Hunter

A chain pickerel’s diet consists mainly of sh, but it will also eat insects, frogs, mice, cray sh, and anything else they can get into their toothy mouth. Because of their diet, many of the same lures or baits that one might use for bass shing also attract pickerel.

Certainly, live minnows would work well, but any number of arti cial lures would probably be a better choice.

Spinners, spoons, surface plugs, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, an assortment of jigs, and so plastics rigged Carolina style or Texas rigged can all be very productive.

Even the y sherman can nab pickerel on streamers and even surface presentations like poppers that are normally used for bass.

My wife and I recently hit an area lake in search of bass; Sheila shed

Outdoors with Ken Hunter…

lead head jigs with soft plastic grubs, and I fished mostly wacky rigged soft plastics. We each caught a good number of largemouths, but we also ended up catching and releasing forty chain pickerel.

Many of our local lakes hold chain pickerel; I have even taken an occasional pickerel in the river. Look for pickerel in clear, quiet water, often around heavy weed cover. Lily pads in two or three feet of water are good places to pitch a lure; it often pays to fish with a weedless lure for that reason. While they seem to prefer water in shallow bays and weedy shorelines — don’t neglect deeper, open water. While

working six to ten feet of water for bass recently, I was also hooking into a good number of chain pickerel.

It’s probably a good idea to have a net along in the boat to make landing and releasing easier. It’s also a good idea to have a pair of needle-nose pliers handy to reach into that toothy mouth to loosen hooks. Chain pickerel are usually very feisty when you get them up next to the boat, and the slimy coating makes it difficult to grab onto them.

Above all, keep your hands and fingers clear of all of those razor-sharp teeth, or you may have to cut your fishing trip short.

Whenever the accomplishments of local basketball talent are discussed, Kelly Mazzante’s name is at the forefront of the conversation. Such was again the case with the recent announcement that Mazzante had left Bucknell University to accept an assistant coaching position at Georgetown University.

The former Montoursville High School and Penn State University standout enjoyed a remarkable playing career. During her four years at Montoursville, she scored 3,217 points. At Penn State, she was a three-time academic All-American, and at the time of her graduation, she was the all-time scorer in Big Ten Conference basketball history (male or female). She was selected in the second round of the 2004 WNBA draft and played professionally in the WNBA and Europe for ten seasons.

Beginning the new chapter in her career, Mazzante took time to talk basketball with Webb Weekly

WW: What led to the Georgetown coaching opportunity?

Mazzante: “I enjoyed my four years at Bucknell, but when Tasha Butts was announced as the new head coach at Georgetown University, I reached out to her. She is someone who played at

Scott Lowery

Tennessee when I was at Penn State, and we were in the same WNBA draft class. We’ve known each other for some time and connected right away. We had a few conversations about the job, and I think this is a really good fit. I’m excited to get started.”

WW: What are your responsibilities?

Mazzante: “Right now, we are a new staff Tasha has put together, and she is molding us into the system she wants to put in place. All of us are recruiters. My main area of coaching concentration will be helping with the player development of the guards. We are all hands on deck. Georgetown has finished at the bottom of the Big East Conference in the last two years, so we are in rebuilding mode. The summer session will start here in a few weeks, and we’re going to get things moving.”

WW: The transfer portal is changing college sports. What are your views?

Mazzante: The transfer portal is different, but like anything in life, it has its good and its bad. With the coaching changes going on in college basketball and different opportunities arising for the players, I think it is a good thing. You don’t like situations when kids jump into the transfer portal just because they didn’t like something where they were. But it is a new era for college basketball. But today, it is a

part of the daily grind of being a Division I college basketball coach, and we need to continually evolve with it.”

WW: Women’s college basketball seems to have reached increased popularity.

Mazzante: “Women’s college basketball today is as good as it has ever been. With this year’s NCAA tournament, the visibility peaked to new highs, and the NIL (name, image, likeness) is having its effects. The WNBA is in good shape, also. With the increased visibility, people are paying more attention, and that’s what we want. There is so much talent in the women’s game, and I think it is in a great place. I am happy to be a part of it on the coaching side.”

WW: What has given you the most satisfaction?

Mazzante: “Looking back and thinking about all the successes I’ve enjoyed on the teams I played for gives me great pride. The high school state championship games at Montoursville, the Big Ten, and the NCAA tournaments while at Penn State, and winning the WNBA championship in Phoenix are all great memories. Now, on the coaching side, you realize all the good things and the hard work that went into those achievements are the core memories that come back to me. Hanging banners, cutting down nets, celebrating and being at the highest point with successful teams.”

WW: Regarding the recent Brittany Griner issues playing overseas, are there dangers?

Mazzante: “I played overseas and had moments where I realized so much can happen when you are traveling, even

in the United States. Obviously, being in a different country can be scary. We are happy she is safely back. It is a lot of sacrifice players deal with when they go overseas to play basketball and make a living. I am happy that I had my good seven years over there and came back safe and sound. That’s part of the professional world.”

WW: Do you have any advice for youngsters playing the game?

Mazzante: “Be it basketball, or any other interest, there is so much opportunity. If there is something someone wants to do, they should do it. There are scholarships to play, there are professional leagues, and there are different avenues to get into. I’ve always said, ‘Have dreams.’ Go after those dreams. I was so fortunate to have a great support system. I loved the game and had a great team around me and was able to play at the highest level. Looking back, I think about all the people that helped me along the way. There is a whole world out there, but always remember where you come from. Go out there and try to accomplish whatever your heart desires.”

WW: Would you like to be a head college basketball coach?

Mazzante: “I aspire to do my best in the profession. If I could be a head coach someday, absolutely. Now ten years into the coaching profession, it’s about who you work with; the student-athletes and location do matter. I’m just going to take it a year at a time, try and give back like my coaches at Penn State did for me, and see where it takes me.”

Afew might say that I am one of the area’s all-time greats. I was always legit. I dominated the local camp circuit in the early ’90s. Tons of ribbons. Several certificates. A handful of trophies and fancy plaques. Yes. I was the self-proclaimed free throw shooting king.

Foul shooting has always been an important part of the game. I was quite good. I have made a lot more than I have missed. A perfect 10 for 10 against Montoursville once. Yes. I still look back on my 9th-grade playing days. I recall another contest. My

only high school miss. It was our senior night. We were rolling as the Millionaires were on a 12-game streak. I got some PT late in the fourth quarter. We were up 25, and that was the only reason. I captured a rebound and was fouled in the backcourt with seconds remaining. I was a perfect 7 for 7 from the stripe that season. I vividly remember my man Larry Bassett saying.

JAMIE SPENCER to the line to shoot ONE annnnnnnd ONE. I wasn’t nervous. Two dribbles and a spin.

The organization that writes the rulebook has changed the way fouls are counted and

the number of bonuses. Most notably, the National Federation of State High School Associations has eliminated one-and-ones from its basketball rules for the next season. Players will now shoot two foul shots in the bonus.

The NFHS also changed the way team fouls are recorded. They are now counted on a quarter-by-quarter basis rather than by half. Under the new rule, teams will reach the bonus and receive two free throws starting with the fifth foul of a quarter. A team’s foul total resets to zero after every quarter. Previously, teams were awarded a one-andone bonus when an opponent committed seven fouls in a half. They didn’t receive the two-shot bonus until the opponent reached ten.

“I think this is the most significant rule change in high school hoops,” former coach now official Nick Tagliaferri said. “Probably since the three-point line was instituted. It will take some time to get used to. But ultimately, I think you will see a better flow.”

The NFHS basketball committee approved the rule change in April. The organization cited game flow and injury prevention among its motivations. The PIAA typically adopts the rulebook changes, but they are not enacted automatically. PIAA executive director Bob Lombardi was unavailable for

comment. We used to be friends.

“The committee studied tons of data,” explained NFHS spokeswoman Lindsay Atkinson in a statement. “We believe that resetting the fouls each quarter will improve game flow and allow teams to adjust their play by not carrying totals to quarters two and four. Studies also showed a higher percentage of injuries occurring during rebounding situations. We see this as an opportunity to reduce rough play during dead ball rebounds.”

A few other local coaches chimed in. I heard back from most. Several were positive.

“I am all for anything to get to the college game,” Loyalsock’s Curtis Jacobson mentioned. “Players need to understand the effects of a silly foul and putting a player on the line for two now. Obviously, the oneand-one gives the losing teams more of a chance. I am still unsure how it will change our approach from a coaching standpoint. I guess time will tell.”

“I kinda like it,” SJNRA boss Louis Roskowski said. “Honestly. This will encourage teams to attack the basket instead of relying on the outside. I think it is a great change. Rewarding the team after five fouls each quarter is a sound ideal.”

Yes. I missed the last front end of my scholastic career. I felt terrible. Even to this day. But I have made several since. I still cash in and hustle at the local playgrounds for fun. Just ask my former players. Even some of Jensen’s friends. Overall. I think this is a good move. Eliminating the one-and-one bonus in the high school game. Cheers.
