School’s Out

But the Canadian Wildfires Burn On

Happy first day of Summer to everyone! Our cover date this year matches the Summer Solstice, which to me, is a perfect thing. I couldn’t wait for the first day of summer vacation back in my day; it was my favorite day of school. I’m sure the students in the Loyalsock Township School District felt the same way this year, as they were the last to complete their educational duty, and it almost reached the Summer Solstice. There were smiles from ear to ear as I watched the kids running away from Schick Elementary School as fast as they could last week. And the smiles on the teacher’s faces were even bigger. The longer school year was anticipated as the district is in a construction and improvement phase to its facilities.

With all the kids from Sock finally joining the School’s Out for Summer Celebration, this is a good place for me to remind everybody to keep an eye out for the unexpected. The children have a lot on their minds this time of year and sometimes forget where the sidewalk ends, and the roadways begin. If any type of ball happens to roll out in front of you, anticipate a young person will soon follow.

Whether you’re a child or teacher throwing up that confetti to celebrate the Sum-

mer Solstice, here’s a little official data. The exact time for our area is 10:58 a.m. The day length of June 21st makes it the longest sunlit day of the year at 15 hours, 9 minutes, and 6 seconds. The good news is June 22nd is only 10 seconds less. The Summer Solstice marks the point of distance when the sun’s location is the farthest away from our neck of Penns Woods. This allows the most sunlight to reach us, creating the longest daylight season of the year.

This is the opposite of what many think that it marks the closest point of the year to the sun. I know one thing for a fact, I’ll be missing the long days of sunlight in December.

Next up, an update and some thoughts on the Canadian wildfires. There are now 451 wildfires burning, and 220 are classified as out of control. The number of acres burnt is approaching 10 million. Over 600 more American firefighters were reportedly joining the effort to contain the blazes.

Thank God locally, we were blessed with some rain and a changed weather pattern this past week. This alleviated the effects of the wildfires on our area for the time being. It returned the air quality index to almost normal for the time being.

Jim Webb Jr.

One of my greatest frustrations in watching the Canadian wildfire inferno unfold is the blaming of the problem on Climate Change. The governments of Canada and the United States have been more focused on pushing the climate change agenda than actually coming up with a plan of attack to fight the wildfires and sharing this information with the people of both countries. This continued use of climate change as the card to go to when there is an environmental problem is great for the politicians; it is terrible for the people residing wherever these disasters occur.

My intentions with my comments are not to debate the whole climate change idea; it is to point out the fact that no matter what occurs and causes the problem, you still need to deal with it with actions, not words, in the timeliest manner. The introduction of climate change as the sole proprietor of any disaster creates division. The last thing you need in the world of unsocial media is to divide people when people need help. The focus on those most affected gets lost in a world of opinions.

Do you think anybody being displaced or worse by those wildfires in Canada wanted to debate the origin and cause of the fire as they’re fleeing from their home? They want to get the heck out of there and save themselves.

Certain online and network news stations portray situations of disaster as the time to push the climate change agenda. As the disaster is actually occurring, it is the time to inform those being most affected and warn those that may be affected next. Disasters are not the time to create the division witnessed; they are a time for unity, to help, love, and pray for our fellow man.

After humanity helps to save, comfort, and console the victims, there will be plenty of time to investigate and discuss what factored into the disaster; this may include global warming. This obviously should always be done to help prevent and change whatever factors are in causing the event.

It was great to talk to so many of you last week about so many things. The Father’s Day Giveaway is always fun, but I didn’t expect all the comments on Smokey Bear. He is definitely loved locally. Please remember, even though we’ve had some rainfall locally, our area is still about 4” behind.

In closing things out this week, congratulations to Head Coach Tom O’Malley and the South Williamsport Mountaineer Softball nation. The team won its way to the State Final 4. Longtime South Side Coach and Webb Weekly family member Scott Lowery does a great job covering the journey in the pages ahead. His articles combined hit both sides of the emotions experienced by the young ladies. God Bless America.

Grocery Savings

Idon’t know about the rest of y’all, but I have been getting killed at the grocery store lately. Egg prices have finally come back down, but everything else seems to be getting more expensive. I spent over $100 at the grocery store this week without even buying any ground beef, chicken, or other ‘high dollar’ items. It’s ridiculous!

Since the inflation rate doesn’t seem to be getting any better, and the foreshadowing of supply chain and transportation issues after the collapse on I95, let’s talk about how we can all save a little money at the checkout. Because we all know that every bit helps, and if you watch your pennies, the dollars tend to take care of themselves.

Make a Meal Plan: If you know what you are going to make all week long, it helps to keep your shopping in check. It also helps you to avoid those last-second mid-week trips to the store where you spend extra money. Preplanning your meals for the week also lets you plan based on what’s on sale.

Shop Alone if You Can: I know this isn’t feasible for everyone, but designate one person to go to the store if you can. This is a ‘too many cooks in the kitchen’ situation. Too many people lead to extraneous purchases and extra money spent. Rather than bringing your family members with you to the grocery store, add their requested items to your shopping list in advance so they’ll still get some of their favorite snacks without the risk of added impulse buys.

Buy Generic or Store Brand: There’s no

denying that brandname products are more expensive than their generic counterparts. While saving an extra $2 or $3 may not seem like much, saving a few extra bucks on 20 items can add up.

Also, many generic products are manufactured in the same facilities as your favorite name-brand products.

I also understand that there are some name brands that y’all don’t want to give up (like me with my mayonnaise), but give some of the generic brands a shot. Often there is no difference.

Don’t Forget Your Rewards: Both Giant and Weis offer pretty good rewards programs that you should take advantage of. It’s simple to sign up (and free!), and it’s silly not to take advantage of it. Look through fliers to see what products can get you extra rewards for stuff you already need too! I currently have around 400 reward points on my Giant card, which will take $4 off my next trip. It’s not a huge amount, but 4 bucks is 4 bucks.

Use Curbside Pick Up: There is no easier way to staunch impulse buying than not going into the store at all.

Store Hop: We are lucky to have several grocery stores in our area that are reasonably close together. Check the fliers, see what’s cheap and on sale where, and hit a couple

to get the best deals. I’m not saying to run all over tarnation to save 50¢ on eggs, but if you do most of your shopping at Giant, but Aldi has chicken breasts on sale for $1.79/ lb., it’s worth the trip up the road! Also, do y’all remember when you could buy chicken breasts for $1.79/lb.?!

Pay attention to prices: Passive shopping ain’t gettin’ it done with this inflation. You should actively assess the prices of the items you buy regularly to know when to pounce on a deal or pass. This technique is as simple as being mindful of what you do while shopping. Pay attention to prices at multiple local stores to learn where deals on certain products are better.

Don’t Forget Your Coupons: Whether you clip them from the Sunday paper or utilize online coupons, USE THEM! That grocery trip I mentioned earlier? My original price for what I bought was $144.05. After my coupons, rewards, and pairing up what I needed with what was on sale, my final cost was $122.74. That’s just over $20 in savings. The whole process took me like 10 minutes! Most stores have an app, so you can add coupons directly to your card without having to clip or cut anything! And don’t forget nongrocery stores. Dollar General offers a $5 off $25 coupon in their app every Saturday, which is great for buying cleaning supplies and household items. They also usually have a ton of coupons in their app for cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, toilet paper, and other household essentials. These are just a few things that can help you save some money at the grocery store. It may not save you a ton of money, but as I said before, every little bit helps right now!

Williamsport HomeMade Days To Be Held In Brandon Park This Weekend June 23 and 24

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

If you love homemade arts and crafts and various types of delicious food, then Brandon Park will be the place for you this weekend, Friday, June 23rd and 24th. This always highly anticipated event has been a fixture on the Williamsport summer scene for more than 40 years.

Brandon Park is always packed to the gills with folks wanting to share their artistic wares and residents wishing to support local businesses and artisans by finding something special to take home.

While the park itself is going through some changes with the work on the baseball fields and the Bandshell hopefully receiving some much-needed upgrades soon, this is still a great opportunity to walk the park, play at the playground, and enjoy the tranquility that Brandon Park

offers.

The Williamsport area is lucky to be home to a plethora of artisans, crafters, and makers. HomeMade Days is a Williamsport staple that gives these folks a platform to sell their goods and show residents their talent.

According to officials from the City of Williamsport’s Recreation Department, the purpose of HomeMade Days is to expose and educate both students and individuals of the region to art in all forms, as well as provide an event for artisans to display and sell their wares to a regional base of art lovers.

Officials are looking to evolve and grow as a show but stay true to the mission and original concept of all things handcrafted or “HomeMade,” as they say. During the two-day event each June, the annual arts and crafts show has drawn in an estimated 8,000-10,000 visitors in recent years.

In addition to the arts and crafts,

visitors of all ages enjoy musical entertainment and a large variety of food vendors. Keeping the artisans in mind, they aim to make set up and tear down as stress-free as possible, with easy access and ample parking nearby. And advertising is a top priority, asking all participants to spread the word near and far, using only shared posts from the City of Williamsport Recreation Department or Brandon Park’s “official” Facebook pages.

Recreation officials state that Vendors should be prepared to cover the merchandise in case of inclement weather. A security company will provide nighttime supervision on June 23, 2023. Vendors may leave their set-up materials on-site overnight. However, the City of Williamsport and the HomeMade Days Committee will assume NO responsibility for lost, stolen, or damaged items.

No parking will be permitted behind or next to vendor space. (Fail-

ure to adhere to this rule will result in the vehicle(s) being towed and/or being asked to leave HomeMade Days.) All vendors will receive two parking passes for the vendor lot. There will be no exceptions to the parking plan.

Sean Walker, the city’s Recreation Director, added, “My vision for HomeMade Days is for the event to become bigger, better and to get more vendors to participate in the event. I’m looking forward to meeting all the vendors but also to get some feedback from them about the event. It’s going to be a great time seeing all the vendors, but also to see how talented they are with their booths and their products.”

Williamsport’s Annual HomeMade Days Arts and Crafts Show will be held on Friday, June 23, from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 24, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. in the beloved and historic Brandon Park in Williamsport.

Sun lled days, favorite vacation destinations and time well spent with family are memories to treasure for a lifetime. Having the forethought to make sure your family doesn’t have to handle your nal arrangements is another wonderful memory you can also leave behind. We encourage pre-planning and are always ready to o er guidance, free of charge. By planning ahead you have the ability to make all of your own choices, spend what you want to spend and leave speci c instructions regarding your personal desires. Our funeral directors are knowledgeable and compassionate people and would enjoy the opportunity to help you get your a airs in order. Give us a call to get started on your path towards peace of mind. We would also like to learn about some of your favorite summer memories.

A Prideful Team, A Supportive Community

By Scott N. Lowery

Four years ago, an enthusiastic group of parents, fans, and supporters gathered in the parking lot of South Williamsport’s AAA office to send off an excited team of pre-teens to the Little League Softball World Series in Portland, Oregon. The wide-eyed youngsters were members of the Little Mountaineer Softball All-Star team, which was about to embark on the final leg of a successful summer of softball after having won the District 12, State of Pennsylvania, and Eastern Region championships.

Playing softball was something the youngsters were familiar with; flying across the county was not. Perhaps there was more apprehension with the parents than the kids, but as the bus pulled out, many parents began making scramble plans to get to Oregon to support the team. After all, that’s what they do.

Nearly four years later, many of this same group stood patiently by outside the first base dugout at Central Mountain to greet, console, and congratulate the South Williamsport High School softball team in the aftermath of the team’s 4-0 defeat at the hands of Bald-Eagle Area in the PIAA AA state semi-finals. After all, that’s what they do.

While smiles were absent from the faces of the disappointed players, the same could

not be said for the large greeting party. Yes, they were hoping for a victory, but the pride and appreciation they had for these now teenage softball achievers was clearly evident. A second consecutive District IV championship, two decisive state playoff victories, and a 21-3 season record gave everyone plenty to feel good about.

Eight of the current members of the Lady Mounties team (sophomores Kendall Cardone, Gianna Goodman, Lily Reidy, Alizabeth Schuler, Sage Lorson, Abby Lorson, and Emily Holtzappel along with freshman Mikaiya Hills) were players on that decorated Little League team and had dedicated themselves to achieving South Williamsport’s first softball state title since 2003.

That Little League core had meshed well with incoming freshmen Maddie Pinkerton, Emma McLaughlin, and Natalya Betz and responded to the senior leadership provided by Aleigha Rieppel and McKenzie Mitstifer.

The senior duo, both loving the game, brought with them distinct personalities the team appreciated. Mitstifer, a reserve outfielder whose bat contributed a .438 batting average in limited roles, was upbeat, outgoing, and approachable and played the game for the enjoyment and camaraderie of her teammates.

Rieppel was the consummate competitor

and one of the most decorated athletes in South Williamsport athletic history. She established what is thought to be a record for receiving 12 varsity letters while competing in soccer, basketball, softball, and football. Only a canceled softball season prevented her from compiling 13 letters. During her senior season, she was the driving force in helping South’s soccer, basketball, and softball teams all win district titles.

On the diamond, she was the team’s shortstop, leading the team with 47 assists, batting second in the lineup, hitting .324,

and compiling a 4-0 record in the circle. Family is often thrown about when discussing the makeup of an athletic team. While Sage and Abby Lorson are family as cousins, the rest of the Mounties formed a bond about as close as you could get to a related family group. That same attitude was prevalent on the playing field with Cardone, the well-recognized motivational leader. Off the field, the soft-spoken sophomore is quiet and reserved, but once the game

begins, the third baseman is the first person to cheer her teammates on. She also led by example, playing outstanding defense at third, hitting .364 with two home runs and 18 RBIs.

The spark plug of the group, second baseman Gianna Goodman, moved from ninth to lead-off for this year’s team and set the offensive tone early and often. Batting .408, Goodman was unstoppable on the bases stealing 24 without being thrown out. She led off ten games with base hits and promptly stole second eight times. She led the team with 32 runs scored, 13 of those coming in the first innings of games.

In the circle, Schuler was frustratingly effective for opponents. While not overpowering, she possessed an arsenal of pitches, creating ground ball outs and keeping hitters off balance. On the season, she threw 70% of her pitches for strikes, striking out 110, only walking 17 while compiling a 17-3 record with an ERA of 1.82. Offensively, she led the team hitting .495 with 8 home runs and 36 RBIs.

Reidy, a hard-nosed competitor with a rifle arm, caught the entire season without committing an error. Her tenacity behind the dish discouraged opponents from attempting steals, as opponents were successful on only eight attempts. She complemented her battery mate Schuler with 6 home runs and 23 RBIs.

The Lorson cousins were key contributors, with Abby recording 169 putouts at first base while driving in 10 runs. Sage enjoyed

a stretch during the season in which she drove in runs in ten consecutive games and belted two home runs.

Freshmen outfielders Mikiaya Hills and Maddie Pinkerton were outstanding defensively, committing only one error among 44 chances between them. Both responded well during their rookie year, Hills hitting .354 and Pinkerton .316.

Mountaineer reserves Holtzappel, McLaughlin, and Betz all contributed hits while committing no errors in the field. As competitors, these Mounties went into every game expecting to come out on top.

The BEA loss hurt, but the pride of the 2023 season was there for all to appreciate.

“This is a good group of girls,” Rieppel said. “They have a relatively young, strong core. I couldn’t have been happier to play with anyone else. They welcomed me in, being the only senior starting, and I’m so proud of every single one of them.”

The Mountaineer fans, coaches, and parents can say the same thing.

“The girls fought to the last pitch,” head coach Tom O’Malley told the media after the game. “I’m proud of the season we had, and hopefully, we can build on where we were last year, what we achieved this year, and continue to get better.”

There is an old sports saying, “Work will win when wishing won’t.” While it may be true, these Lady Mounties wished they would have won; you can be guaranteed they will keep working hard to achieve that ultimate goal.

County Hall Corner: Poll Me Out

By Larry Stout

One refreshing thing that comes out of the Lycoming County Commissioners Meetings is that Scott Metzger, Tony Mussare, and Rick Mirabito have a mind of their own and follow their own convictions. Yes, they listen to their constituency — quite well, actually — but they are not controlled by them. Unfortunately, the normal pattern is that the higher up an official goes on the political food chain results in more decisions based on the public pulse.

It is a very rare article on politics these days that does not somehow refer to the percentage of Americans that think a particular way based on opinion polls. Just for fun, I researched what Americans fear right now. A scientific study polling 2,083 US adults about their fears conducted by SafeHome.org showed that the number one fear of adult American citizens was the death of a loved one. On the other hand, a YouGov poll of exactly 1,000 Americans (with a 3.4 percent margin of error) tells us that the number one fear of American adults is snakes (30 percent), followed by heights (28 percent), spiders (24 percent), and public speaking (23 percent).

I intended to check some other polls on this subject, but these two had al-

ready made my point. Fear of a loved one dying on the YouGov poll does not even hit the two percent threshold of the NPR poll. I am shocked, shocked that polls differ. Yet, ironically, the one thing they all have in common is how much they emphasize their accuracy!

Yet despite this, politicians will continue to use polling to help them to see which way the political winds are blowing. The danger of this is that as opinion polling becomes more and more the weathervane of our political leaders, the further we are away from the foundation of our republic.

Here is the problem. The American people have forgotten (or wish to ignore) that our country was NOT established as a democracy but as a republic. A democracy is where the majority rules — a republic rules based on its foundational

See COUNTY HALL on Page 16

COUNTY HALL

documents, which are our Constitution and its Amendments. The Constitution provides the principal governmental framework, and the Amendments provide broader parameters of freedom and equality. It is as a republic that we are “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” It is this foundation that has helped us maintain the same government structure for two and a half centuries.

Do not take this for granted. Our country has had the longest-standing government of any other country in the world, dating back to 1789. Outside of Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the Vatican — every other country in the entire world has changed its government since 1900. This stability is what has brought prosperity and progress in every area of our society, from industry to education to human rights and the quality of life.

What our dear representatives in Harrisburg and Washington, D.C., should recognize is that the parameters of their influence are not what people are asking for but what our republic allows. A classic example is the Electoral College for selecting our country’s president. This very unique process for determining our president was created by our Founding Fathers for a very good rea-

son. Since this is the UNITED States of America, they wanted the person who would be representing the country to be the choice of the greater number of states and not just the population.

This forces presidential candidates to not simply focus on large cities to get a majority of votes but to get out to the less traveled areas that also have concerns that need to be heard. It is a tremendously innovative process that has served us well for two and a half centuries. Yet, we have seen in the past decade many howls of pain from those who win the majority vote without the electoral vote count. Their constant cry is that this is not fair because it is not democratic. And I agree that it is not democratic, but that is just the point — it was not meant to be — it is a basic tool of our Republic.

There are zillions of other illustrations, but the crux of the issue is the same. Governing by the flavor of the month is fickle, and even Time magazine ran an article several months ago with the title, “Are Polls Trash?” This ‘science’ reminds me of a Shakespeare quote. Opinion polls are “but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Transforming Grace: The Body of Christ

The goal of my writing today is to inspire you to access the powerful transforming grace God has made available to us through His Body, the Church.

In this series of articles, we are recognizing one fundamental truth regarding transformational grace: God provides the grace, but we must access it. Doing so requires discipline. We access saving grace simply through faith. Transforming grace is different. It requires more of us—we must do something to experience its power.

To illustrate the transformational graces accessed through the Body, Jesus uses the metaphor of a grapevine, and Paul uses the metaphor of the body. What they say is powerful, so I’ll let them speak for themselves: The Vine— Excerpts from John 15:18

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful … Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch

Tim Hartzell

can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

The Body — Excerpts from I Corinthians 12:12-27

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body … Even so, the body is not made up of one part but of many. Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body . . . But in fact, God has

FAITH

placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be … As it is, there are many parts, but one body … Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

Interdependence

The point is this: you need the body, and the body needs you. The branch cannot survive without the vine, and the vine cannot be fruitful without the branch. The hand needs the foot as much as the foot needs the hand. We are all necessary to each other and to the mission of God.

Over the years, I have heard plenty of believers say that they don’t need the church to follow Jesus. Well, according to Jesus and Paul, they are wrong. We do need the church — and the church needs us. It is His Body, and like it or not, that’s the way God made it. If you have a problem with that, you can take it up with Him.

Listen, I understand why some believers disconnect from the church. Heaven knows I’ve been tempted to do so many times. Some church people can be downright mean and ugly. There aren’t many of them, but they get a lot of attention because they make a lot of noise and create a lot of pain. But I must tell you, the vast majority

of church people are just plain awesome. They are loving and kind and filled with compassion, mercy, and grace. They give of themselves in such beautiful ways. One of the greatest honors of my life has been to serve alongside church people. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without them.

So yes, church can be messy sometimes, but more often than not, it is amazing and transformational. Through the body of Christ, my life has been richly blessed — and maybe — in some small way — my life has blessed others.

How about you? So many people have disconnected from the church since Covid. Or maybe it was something else that caused you to stop attending. Whatever the reason, it’s time to come home. The body needs you — and you need the body. Without it, you are missing out on important aspects of God’s transformational grace.

I pray God’s grace will help you to overcome whatever obstacle has kept you away. The best thing to do is just show up. Trust me, reconnecting to the body will bring new life into your bones — and your presence will make a difference for others.

Just Ask Google

Here I am in the car on an eight-and-a-halfhour road trip, writing my column. Time wasn’t on my side to get it done before we left, but when you have hours in the car, you might as well write. I do get car sick, but I just have to stop here and there and look out the window. When I was younger, I couldn’t do this at all. I got car sick so easily. Now I know my limits. I have my earphones in with some Sinatra playing to help distract me, too; it helps!

We are heading to North Carolina to go visit a friend of mine whose kids are the exact age of ours. It’s perfect. Our mommas are best friends; if she were local, we would be besties and together a lot, I’m sure. I am excited to spend some time with her and her family. Our husbands are a lot alike too. Stand-up guys, who just go with the flow.

Before we left, my husband Chris got our Subaru STI all ready to go. He looked everything over and changed the timing belt because it was going to be due for one. Oil change and all that good stuff. That Sunday before we left, he decided he was going to wash it, so it looked pretty for our trip. He worked so hard on it. Monday was supposed to rain, and I asked him, “Babe, the car looks great, but it’s supposed to rain tomorrow, and we only have two cars right

now, so how is this going to work? I was going to ride the bike but can’t now.”

Chris texted my brother Luke and asked to hitch a ride with him since they both work at the same place together. So I drove Black Betty (our black GMC Yukon, AKA gas guzzler) clear up to Pine Creek to work that day while the STI sat pretty in the garage, staying nice and dry after all the hard work Chris put into washing and waxing it for our trip.

That evening my hubby and I decided to go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. The kids were spending the day with their Grammy and Pappy Rook. As soon as I got home from work, I grabbed a shower before Chris came in from the garage. It then dawned on me that we had to drop the car off to get inspected the next day before we left for NC! It was still pouring outside. (This wasn’t good.) A few minutes later, Chris walks into the house.

“Um, honey, did you remember that we have to drop the car off to get inspected for tomorrow?”

“Son of a biscuit!” he said. Except, he didn’t use the word biscuit. He was so irritated, and I don’t blame him. He put a lot of hard work into it. He sighed and said, “Looks like I’ll have to

See

wash it again before we leave.”

We dropped the car off that night and headed to dinner.

The next day was beautiful! In fact, we both rode our bikes to work. As soon as Chris got off work, we went to pick up the car. As we pulled in, there sat that pretty hyper-blue Suby that he spent so much time on.

“Actually,” Chris said. “The car doesn’t look half bad!”

I agreed. It still looked pretty darn clean for the circumstances.

When we got home, it was time to pack. I came inside to start helping the kids get their clothes packed while Chris stayed outside to clear the trunk out in the car. Ya know, all my Aldi and Wegmans bags that I keep stocked on and a pile of coats that I recently just brought home from work. Whoops — kinda forgot they were back there. I kept riding the bike to work, and it would be really cold in the morning, so I would wear my Harley coat, leather jacket, or thick hoodie. Well, on the way home, it would be hot, so I left my coat on the coat rack at work. Little did I know that I had four coats at work. When I finally had the car, I brought them all back home last week. I just forgot to get them out of the trunk. *enter cheesy smile here*

Almost an hour had gone by, and Chris still wasn’t in the house. I asked our son Tyler where his dad was.

“He’s out washing the car,” he said. I was like, “Are you kidding me? All this

packing we have to do, and he is washing the car again when it’s supposed to rain tomorrow?”

I went over to our dining room window, and there he was, washing the car in the driveway. *enter head smack here*

“What are you doing!?” I yelled out the window.

“Washing the car. What’s it look like I’m doing?” he yelled back with a grin on his face.

I started giggling and said, “I know that smart ass, but don’t you know it’s supposed to rain tomorrow!?”

“No, it’s not. We are going down south. We won’t run into it!” he said, “You are wrong dear; it’s going to be wet in the morning!” I said with confidence.

“Nope. WNEP shows no rain tomorrow morning,” he said.

“OK, dear. Whatever you say,” as I closed the window.

I headed over to the refrigerator to clear any food out that needed to be taken care of before we left and continued on with my evening as our quiche baked in the oven for dinner. I was ready to be packed and hit the bed. We had a long day ahead of us the next day.

Morning came bright and early, and guess what? Can you believe what it’s doing!? It was raining!! We are now in Harrisburg, and yup, you guessed it — STILL raining!

Chris’s response to the rain this morning, “I swear WNEP said no rain. This is some bullcrap.”

I guess next time when he washes the car; he may be better off shaking a magic eight ball or even asking Google, “Hey, Google, should I wash the car today?”

Don’t ask me because I clearly don’t know.

Haha

God love my hubby, though; he worked so hard twice on this car. The most important thing is knowing it will get us there and back safely. Chris is one heck of a mechanic, husband, dad, and car washer. He just listens to WNEP more than his wife. *enter one more cheesy smile here*

Ham & Cheese Quiche

Ingredients:

• 1 pie crust softened as directed on the box

• 1 cup milk

• 4 eggs slightly beaten

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp pepper

• 1/2 lb chipped baked ham

• 1/2 cup Extra Sharp Cheese shredded

• 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Using a shallow-sided 9″ inch glass pie plate, place the softened pie crust inside and crimp the edges. Add the chipped ham and cheese to the bottom of the pie c rust.

In a medium bowl, mix the milk, eggs, salt, and pepper, then pour over the ham and cheese.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife, inserted in the center, comes out clean. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting. It has to sit in order to cut.

The World of Weird Words

As Webb’s World of Weird Words enters its fifth week, your local lexicographer still finds himself looking for themes around which to organize these weekly lists of oddball vocabulary.

Since the previous pair covered super-long words (June 6) and then super-short ones (June 13), our next two lists bounce back to broader terms: a selection of hyphenated vocab — a baker’s dozen each this week and next:

Black-a-vised (adjective) –Having a dark complexion; Scottish term related to the more common word “visage,” meaning face or appearance. Also, “blacka-viced.”

Joseph W. Smith III

Cock-a-hoop (adjective) – Joyfully boastful or exultant; also, off-kilter or askew. For example: “The team was cock-a-hoop after their volleyball victory — even though that last spike knocked Sarah’s glasses cock-a-hoop.” Fiddle-faddle (noun) – Nonsense, or something unimportant. Also a verb

(“quit fiddle-faddling around over there!”); and an interjection expressing frustration or impatience.

Gutta-percha (noun) – The milky juice from a tree of the sapodilla family (another great word); it converts into a hard, rubbery gum used in dental cement, golf balls and water-proofing — among other things.

Higgledy-piggledy (adverb) – Once a common word that is now lesser-known to young folks, this means “in a jumbled or disorderly fashion” — as in, “When our boat capsized, everything went flying higgledy-piggledy.” Possibly derived from the way pigs huddle together. Worthy synonyms include haywire, topsy-turvy and helter-skelter.

Linsey-woolsey (noun) – A coarse cloth, or a garment made from this. The term is derived from two of its typical components — linen and wool.

Mangel-wurzel (noun) – Type of beet used as cattle food; it’s from a German word, with the second half probably related to “wort” — a malt also utilized in food and drink.

Mumblety-peg (noun) – Children’s game in which an open pocket-knife is flipped into the ground, generally as close to the opponent’s foot as possible. According to Wikipedia, it is also known as mumbley-peg, mumblepeg, mumblethe-peg, mumbledepeg or mumble-depeg.

In any case, mumblety-peg is general-

ly a boys’ game, because females aren’t that stupid. If you were a Boy Scout, I’ll bet your mother still doesn’t know you played this as a kid.

Namby-pamby (adjective) – Weak, indecisive; lacking firmness, character or strength: “Don’t give me that namby-pamby mumbo-jumbo.” Also, a noun for this type of person.

Peely-wally (adjective) – Scots term that means “looking pale or unwell” — as in, “Mom looked kinda peely-wally when she caught us playing mumble-the-peg.”

Raggle-taggle (adjective) – Variation of “ragtag,” meaning messy, shabby or mixed together from various elements (“a raggle-taggle collection of odds and ends”).

DELI MEATS & CHEESES

Tilly-vally (interjection) – An expression of contempt for something impertinent or unimportant — similar to bosh, balderdash or hogwash. No longer used, it is perhaps best known from Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” where it is uttered by the annoyed (and drunken) Sir Toby Belch. Also, “tilly-fally.”

Tucker-box (noun) – Australian term for a food container — probably related to the expression “tuck in,” meaning “eat.” Facebook lists a food truck called “Tuckerbox” in Tyrone, PA; fittingly, it specializes in “Aussie Meat Pies & Sausage Rolls.” I left out my usual pronunciations here because all these seemed fairly clear. Hope that doesn’t seem hoity-toity — or leave you feeling gob-smacked.

The Backyard Gardner…

Tomato Trellis

Over the years, I have tried many different methods to support my tomato plants. I can remember working with my father in his garden, pounding in the individual wooden stakes to support each plant. They would break or rot within a few years, and we would have to replace them. When I started planning for my garden, I knew there had to be a better way to support tomato plants.

One day, during my travels around central Pennsylvania, I noticed strings hanging from the ceiling of a greenhouse, so I stopped to ask why. That’s when I was introduced to the single-string tomato trellis, which was a game-changer for me.

This method uses a pully system to raise and lower the vines as needed while providing strong support to the plant.

You can find most of the items needed to construct this system at your local hardware store. Materials include a metal pipe (I use a 3/4-inch metal conduit), twine that can support a working load of at least 110 pounds, and tomato clips.

Charlie Gizenski

The number of plants, and the spacing between each, will determine how many sections of pipe and the length of twine you will need.

For example, if you have a 10-foot-long garden bed, you should expect to use a 10-foot piece of pipe. If your garden is shaped in an “H” or “U” layout, then you should purchase additional pipes and elbows to join the pipes together as needed.

After assembly:

– Stand the pipe up, center it over the plants, secure it to the ground, and tie twine horizontally between the base of the pipes at the root level.

– Attach a single strand of twine to the pipe above each plant and tie the other end to the twine at root level.

– As your plants grow, secure the stems to the vertical twine using circular clips.

– Continue adding clips as the plant grows, supporting the entire length of the vine.

Remove the clips at the end of the season and save them for the next growing season. Discard the twine and compost the plants. I leave the pipe in place yearround.

Happy gardening #70

My process and inspiration for writing articles for my column each week typically begin with an idea that I had gotten from a conversation, an advertisement I saw, or an article that I read that I found interesting. I will then research the topic and boil the idea down to a manageable 600-900 words. This week, however, I had a different idea. I thought I would give you all a first-hand account of some unique experiences and opportunities my family and I have recently encountered (and I have wellexceeded my 900-word space).

in an especially competitive state and district and achieving a high national ranking, many people have asked me what is next for my son and if there are any more competitions in the near future.

You might have read the recent Webb Weekly feature about some local track athletes that did especially well at the PIAA State Track Meet in Shippensburg. More specifically, you may have read about my son, Peter, who won the javelin state championship with a throw of 214’3”. At that time, that throw moved him into 2nd place in the rankings for top throws for boys’ high school track in the country. Since winning the state championship

High school track is unlike some other sports that may have formal competitions beyond the state level. For most track athletes, if they are fortunate, competing at the state level is the highlight of their season and career. There are, however, multiple “national” level meets, mostly held in June, that are sponsored by major athletic shoe companies such as Nike, Adidas, and New Balance, or meets such as the Junior Olympics. These meets will also draw the best athletes from around the country for bragging rights and a chance to compete against the best of the best.

Somewhat of a last-minute decision, Peter has decided to compete at the New Balance Nationals held in Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania facilities June 15-18. So, by the time you read this installment, the meet will have taken place, and I will, hopefully,

have some good news about how Peter faired in the competition.

A little bit about the meet. This weekend, the New Balance Nationals will host approximately 8,000 of the best high school athletes from around the country. Though this meet is independent of the scholastic track system, athletes still need to meet high standards to be able to compete. Javelin, specifically, has a minimum qualifying of 168’ for the Championship division. Though this doesn’t sound like much with the numbers that have been recently listed by state competitors, I would like to put this into perspective. 168’ would

win most Division 2 and Division 3 dual collegiate meets anywhere in the United States. So, to see these local high school athletes from Wyoming (PA), Danville, Southern Columbia, Jersey Shore, and other nearby towns throwing well into the 200s just shows you how crazy good our local talent really is.

The events are spread out over four days, with the javelin taking place on Sunday. The day will begin with a check-in time beginning at 7:30 a.m., and the event will start at 9:00 a.m. Currently, there are 62 javelin throwers registered. This includes almost all of the top throwers from Pennsylvania

and some of the best out-of-state throwers — a sort of who’s who in the throwing world.

The throwers will be seeded, with the top throws receiving the highest seed placement. They will then be divided into groups called flights that usually consist of 8 to 12 throwers. The lowerranked flights will go first and take all three of their throws. Each flight will work through all three of their attempts until the top-ranked flight goes. The reason for the flight system is so there isn’t an excessive time between attempts by a single athlete so as to prevent the athlete from getting “cold” and/or injured. When the top-ranked

flight completes their throws, the top throw by each athlete is ranked, and a finals group of usually nine athletes is organized. Athletes competing in the finals are once again seeded (ranked) and get three additional throws. The top throw of the meet wins. Our preparation

The javelin is a complex event that is far more than just throwing a pointy stick. It requires strength, speed, power, timing, and a very high degree of technical skill. Because of the complexity of the event, javelin throwers typically don’t peak until they

are 30-39 years of age. Far older than the mid-20s of most sports. Among other competitive regulations, the javelin must weigh at least 800g for men and 600g for women and be 2.6m-2.7m for men and 2.2-2.3m for women in length. A top-rated javelin is usually made of carbon and can cost more than $1,200. In addition, toprated throwers usually receive highly specialized training beyond their high school coach and only train in javelin.

Unfortunately, largely due to living in a very rural part of Central Pennsylvania, Peter has had almost no opportunities for advanced training nor trains with the best facilities or equipment. In addition, to score points for his team, Peter was unable to specialize in the javelin and actually divided his training time among four different events.

However, Peter did have a few things going for him that have made him an exceptionally skilled and highly recruited thrower in only two outdoor training seasons.

First, he is an exceptional all-around athlete, which is rare. He can see a movement once or twice and pick it up quickly. He was an exceptional soccer player, in addition to other sports, and

could have competed in college in any of several sports.

Second, he is very coachable and can receive and follow through with instructions. As most coaches can attest, not everyone takes instruction well.

Third, he is exceptionally strong and powerful. At around 200 pounds, he can lift more weight than most Division 1 linemen in football that weigh 300 pounds. For example, he can squat almost 600 pounds as a high school athlete. Just to give you an idea of how heavy that is, it is the equivalent of two refrigerators and would likely crush a normal person!

Last, and most important, his work ethic is unmatched. He and his twin brother Nick would get up at 5 a.m. to train at the local YMCA before school most days, go to class, go to track practice, then usually go to their parttime jobs. When his high school coach wasn’t available, Peter would drill on his own.

After winning states, Peter intentionally tapered down his training to give his body a break.

Currently, we are taking a well-needed family vacation at the beach. We will be leaving our beach rental a day early

and driving six hours to Philadelphia, where we will stay overnight, then head straight to the competition the next morning.

To have javelins to train and compete, we actually rigged a case to the top of our van and have basically been traveling up and down the east coast with three javelins in a large tube. To train, Peter and I have been getting up at 5 a.m. at the beach and driving to a nearby park before anyone in the area gets up. You can’t exactly practice throwing a javelin with people walking around. He and his brother have also been grabbing light strength workouts at the fitness center in our

development.

With two children graduating from graduate school and two graduating high school, district and state competitions, early morning training, and hectic travel schedules, it has been a very stressful time. It has also been extremely exciting. We, like most parents, are looking forward to watching our children grow, develop, and fulfill their dreams, including Peter’s upcoming national competition. Whether he wins or doesn’t throw well, all of our running around will be worth the effort, as it is the journey that is important. Stay tuned for updates on track and other things.

various commercial and municipal activities are expected to stimulate tremendous growth in the Williamsport area, Mr. Eck said. But cooperation of downtown merchants is necessary to this, he added.

A closed-mall facility, located at the lower end of Pine Street, would be “an appendage to downtown Williamsport.” Because of rumors of a major Milton area shopping center, he stressed that “Williamsport has the best chance to provide it here, but if it doesn’t others will.”

“It is up to the local merchants to cooperate in promoting the growth of the city as a retail center. With cooperation,

all will benefit,” he added.

Mr. Eck said while parking was not a major problem for Williamsport, it is “the name of the game” and “must be controlled in order to induce customers to stores. One way to ensure that is for tenants to pay for parking too, giving customers free parking, he said.

Mr. Eck said he also had a letter of commitment from a “large promotional department store,” with “great drawing power,” to locate in the project area. No space has been committed for smaller stores, and no effort is being made to bring any in from out of town. He has had numerous inquiries from local merchants about space, Mr. Eck concluded.

Who doesn’t love a good makeup hack, especially when it involves a staple such as mascara? And who doesn’t love using everyday products in new ways? Well, if you said “not me” to either question, then you should skip the rest of this article because we are doing a deep dive on the latest makeup trend that’s actually been around for years—Mascara Cocktailing!

What is mascara cocktailing? Well, it’s not using mascara as a drink gar-

nish; let’s be clear on that. No, it’s just a buzz phrase for layering different mascara formulas to amplify your lashes without using extensions or falsies. Mascara cocktailing creates a dramatic effect and allows you to play around with different types of mascara products and tools depending on how many you have at hand. Basically, it’s standard mascara getting a major upgrade by simply wearing more of it.

The key to cocktailing your mascaras is picking the right mix of products

Bernadette Ulsamer

and applying them appropriately. You want to apply mascaras that complement each other rather than wearing two that provide the same benefit. So instead of using two volumizing mascaras, you may start with a lengthening product and then layer on another that adds thickness for an impactful lash. Also, there’s no need to reserve your favorite mascaras or this trick for special nights. This technique is easy enough to do and perfectly wearable for the day. In fact, if you have to pick mascara cocktailing over bronzer or lip liner, I’d go for the mascara; it gives you a more done look, even with minimal makeup.

Before applying mascara to the lashes, remove any residue or lingering makeup from the eyelashes. Then swipe on some lash primer, which helps prevent clump-

ing and strengthens your lashes. You can — of course — invest in a fancy-schmancy lash primer product or just get some drugstore-brand clear mascara. I’m a huge fan of Maybelline’s clear mascara. Not only does it work to prim lashes to negate clumps, but it’s also a great way to tame rogue eyebrows. Once your lashes are clean and prepped, start applying your first mascara slowly and build up more product as you go.

Picking your mascara pairings depends on the lash look you want to achieve. Not all mascaras are created equal, so start with your favorite mascara and ask what else you wish it could do, then find the product that does that to complement your original favorite. To thicken fine, short eyelashes, start with a lengthening mascara like

Milk Makeup’s Rise mascara. This product boasts a natural-looking lift while adding subtle volume. Evenly coat your lashes with a lengthening mascara, then layer on a thickening one like MAC Macstack Mascara, which comes with two different brush sizes to customize your lash look.

If you’re going for super-long eyelashes, again start with a lengthening mascara and then add on an extension product like Thrive’s Liquid Lash Mascara. Use the shorter bristles on one side of the brush to coat your lashes, then use the longer bristles to comb the mascara through and fan out the lash.

For voluminous lashes, start with a high-defining mascara like Lancome’s Definicils Mascara and apply to eyelashes in gradual layers for a major lash lift. Then

for the ultimate volume layer, go for a volumizing mascara like Stila’s Huge Extreme mascara. The name says it all!

If you wear mascara on your bottom lashes, stick to one light coat of lengthening mascara. If you find you’ve applied too much mascara on top or bottom, swipe a damp Q-tip over your lashes to thin out any clumps. Or use a dry/clean eyelash brush to further lift and separate your lashes. Lastly, set your mascara with another swipe of primer or clear mascara.

Limiting your eyelashes to just one mascara isn’t the end of the world, but doubling up creates a bigger impact. Plus, swiping multiple layers of mascara is a whole lot easier than, in my book, sticking on false eyelashes. Glue near the eyeball? No, thank you. Cheers to mascara cocktailing!

The Roving Sportsman… Respect Mother Nature!

By Jon Pries

The springtime birth of this year’s crop of young birds and animals is still going on. For the next few weeks, the tail end of the process will continue, offering us the chance to observe the antics of the newborns. While whitetail does have been dropping their fawns for several weeks now, there will still be opportunities to see days-old and weeks-old fawns through the end of June. Tree swallows that have taken over the bluebird boxes have fledged their young, and now a few of the boxes are occupied by bluebirds as they hatch out their new broods.

Meanwhile, every state’s fish and game agencies are issuing cautions to folks who spend time in the outdoors, reminding us that Mother Nature has things well in hand and doesn’t need interference from any well-intended humans. I refer to the fact that over the next several weeks, young of all kinds continue to come into this world — from baby birds to those ohso-cute fawns with their big brown eyes and beautiful white spots!

All of these magnificent young birds and mammals are wonderful to observe but need to be watched from a distance. If you get too close, the newly born or weeks old young can panic — causing young birds to

drop from a nest or young mammals to flee from their hiding spot and put themselves in danger of predation. Take photographs if you want — but do so from a distance so as not to put the subjects in danger.

Probably the most encountered young of any species is the fawns of the whitetail deer. Their birth is underway and will continue for several more weeks. Spring gobbler hunters or those folks just out for a hike have had good odds of spotting one of these young deer — usually curled up and lying still to avoid predation. During the initial phase of a newly born fawn’s life, it has no scent. This helps prevent predation during this early phase while it develops the strength in its legs to (hopefully) outrun any predators that cross its path. By the time it develops its scent, it should have the strength and stamina to outrun anything that is looking at it for its next meal.

Among all of its predators, the black bear takes more fawns every spring than do any of the others. This is a fact that many have difficulty accepting, but studies here in Pennsylvania and in other states support that fact. For those of you who spend time in the outdoors, you may have wondered why you have more black bear sightings this time of year. It is because they are out cruising fields and woodlots in search of fawns, and they will do so in daylight

hours as well as nighttime.

So, what should you do if you come across a very young bird or animal in the wild? First, realize that it is NOT abandoned. Particularly in the case of whitetail deer, a primary technique to avoid predation is for the mother to hide the fawn in tall grass and then leave the area so that her presence does not alert any predators to the whereabouts of a fawn. There is little doubt that the mother is nearby — hiding and watching you from a safe distance. Once you leave, she will return to feed and care for her young. So, enjoy watching for a few moments, take pictures if you want, but don’t stay too long and don’t get too close. The last thing you want to do is frighten the fawn from its bed only to be

spotted by a nearby predator!

Whether it is a litter of young raccoons or foxes or a clutch of young grouse or turkey poults, the mother is not going to abandon them if you come across them in the wild and they scatter in all directions. She may leave the area temporarily or move away slowly to draw your attention away from the young, but after you leave, she will return and gather up all her young and move them to safety.

If you are lucky enough to encounter a young bird or animal, appreciate the fact that you can make such an observation, enjoy this brief time of seeing something most folks never have a chance to see, and make sure that you “Look, But Don’t Touch!” 570.494.1550

Outdoors with Ken Hunter…

Smallmouth Bass Tactics

Last week we focused our efforts on catching largemouth bass, but this week, we’re going to delve into catching smallmouth bass.

There’s no question about it, a lot of the same lures and techniques will work for catching both species of bass, but there are also some different approaches that may work better for taking smallmouths.

While the two species of bass, at times, may be found in the same body of water — such as a deep enough lake — it’s also true that the

Ken Hunter

smallmouth prefers rivers and large streams. Smallmouths prefer slightly moving current and a bit cooler temperature than largemouths. Unlike largemouths, they tend to avoid the warmer, murky, or muddy water typical of many ponds.

If I’m going to target smallmouths, I’ll head to a river or large stream, but there are some lakes in Pennsylvania that can offer up some pretty decent smallmouth catches as well.

If I’m smallmouth fishing in a lake, I’ll be

fishing rocky structures and deeper water; shallow lily pads at the back of a bay are probably not a good choice. If, on the other hand, I plan to fish moving water in a river, I am less concerned about depth since the cooler, moving current may be productive even in only a few feet of water. As I mentioned earlier, a lot of the same lures work for smallmouths, and some type of top water lure would certainly be high on my list. The clear, shallower water of a river makes a top water presentation a good choice, especially in the late day or evening hours. Top water prop-baits, chuggers, and even floating minnow-type lures can produce some smashing strikes. Some of my best fishing has been with a floating Rebel or Rapala minnow lure. I cast the lure and

then let it set on the surface until the water settles and then give the lure a few light jerks and then a pause. If that doesn’t produce a strike, I’ll start a slow retrieve with several stops on the way back. While I like working my spinning and bait casting tackle with lures for smallmouths, I would be remiss if I didn’t include the flyrod. Yes, here again, some of my best action at times has been while working a surface popper with my flyrod. I’ve had great action casting a white Gaines popper into threefoot-deep moving water and then retrieving it with short, quick jerks. I have a buddy who fishes with nothing but a flyrod, and he has told me of some great action on surface poppers, even in the large, lower, and quieter pools.

I’ll be honest; I would never think of going smallmouth fishing without a good selection of jigs and soft plastic grubs and tubes. Lead-head jigs of one-quarter ounce with a Berkley Power Grub are hard to beat. Tube-type soft plastics are also high on my list. As for color, I often start with brown or greenish brown to imitate one of the bass’s favorite foods — the crayfish. White is also a good choice, and if the water is a bit cloudy, I’ll often go to chartreuse.

In recent years, another popular smallmouth jig has performed well — the Ned rig. Basically, it’s a jig with a soft plastic attached, but the jig head is flat, and that helps make the plastic stand upright on the bottom. On a very slow stop-and-go retrieve, the lure kicks up a bit of the bottom, attract-

ing the bass.

Smallmouths love minnows, so any lure that imitates a fleeing, wounded minnow will no doubt produce.

Spinnerbaits and in-line spinners will also work well at times.

Certainly, other soft plastic presentations can be effective as well, such as Texas or Carolina rigged worms and lizards.

My biggest smallmouth so far this year was one of 20-inches — taken on a wacky worm presentation. There are also a number of different crayfish and hellgrammite imitations that will put a bend in your rod. Obviously, finding a lure that will work probably isn’t as difficult as finding enough time to get out on the water and make an offering.

Tears Scott on Sports

You won’t nd it written in any rule book, but the hard facts of life for any team sport played, unless you are able to win the ultimate game at the conclusion of each season — your season is going to end with a loss.

It matters little how hard your team works, how many breaks they may have gotten along the way, or how many wins they are able to accumulate; a paramount goal for any team is to do what is necessary to make the playo s. Once in the playo s, it is a whole new season, with every quali ed team beginning with a 0-0 record. en suddenly, but certainly, unless the team can be the last team standing, the last game you play will end up being a loss.

ree years ago, Tom O’Malley extended the opportunity to join the coaching sta he was assembling a er being named the South Williamsport High School girls’ so ball coach. Coaching has always been in my blood, doing so at one level or another every year since 1977. O’Malley has been a longtime friend and a broadcast colleague over the years, making it an easy invitation to accept.

Scott Lowery

is coaching gig, however, came with a twist. Rather than helping young men learn and enjoy the game, this time, it would be attempting to do the same thing with young ladies. Having never formally coached girls before, a er 43 years on the bench or in the dugout, the rst lesson learned was there IS a di erence. But, fortunately for me, this group of talented young athletes made that transition both easy and enjoyable.

While emphasized in the Tom Hanks movie League of eir Own, there may not be crying in baseball, but the same cannot be said for competitive so ball at the high school level. Young ladies are talented. ey compete hard. Sometimes when the scoreboard sends them an unwelcome message, tears ow.

As the PIAA AA state semi- nal game came to a close, Bald-Eagle Area advanced to the state championship game with a 4-0 victory over South Williamsport. e teams lined up, shook hands, and each headed to the out eld for the post-game talk. Cheers, smiles, and excitement lit up the BEA side of the eld. As the Mounties gathered around Coach O’Malley, those emotions

penned up inside found an escape hatch through the tear ducts of several players. There was no sobbing, no angry words, no display of temper — just unashamed, unwelcome, disappointed tears. Some tried to hide their existence; others found the shoulder of a teammate, and a few stood stoically watching. Coaches made comments offering to defuse the disappointment.

During my coaching career, I’ve experienced many moments of won/ lost disappointment, but my hope, and my message at the time, was telling the girls to let those tears flow, but once they did, they should reflect proudly on what they had accomplished during the season by climbing rungs on the playoff ladder that no other South Williamsport softball team had achieved since 2004.

This year’s edition of the Lady Mounties repeated their success of last season in claiming the District IV AA title. They then took it one step further than last year by advancing to the PIAA AA state semi-final game. Along the way, they compiled a 21-3 record playing a challenging independent schedule designed to prepare them for high-level state competition.

Along the way, 14 of their regular season 18 games came against teams AAA and above. Included was winning the championship of Williamsport’s Invitational Tournament by defeating District 6 AAAA champions Bellefonte,

HAC Division II champ Loyalsock, and the host 6A Millionaires. The team won five playoff games and dispatched District champions Newport and Bristol by a combined 25-0 score in the PIAA state tournament before falling to BEA.

Featuring a solid defense and dependable pitching in 20 of their 23 games entering the state semi-final, they had held their opponents to 3 runs or fewer. They were able to win close games (3 games when scoring 3 runs or less) and in mercy rule blowouts eight times.

For a young team featuring two seniors, seven sophomores, and four freshmen, the future remains bright. But as the team gathered around their coaches, with the end of their season crushingly real, that future seemed light years away. For teenagers, entrenched in the moment, that moment was all that mattered.

At South Williamsport’s commencement a week earlier, one of the student speakers told his classmates not to let their high school years be their defining moment in life — they should enter the real world and make their mark.

No doubt, when that time comes, these young ladies will find a way to do just that. But there is no doubt the tears they shed on that Central Mountain field cannot wash away the accomplishments they’ve achieved and the pride swelling in the community that supported them.

The golf world is definitely buzzing. Major stories are flowing.

Bill Kieser and I won our flight in the Williamsport Country Club’s Member Guest. We captured a very nice trophy. The news only captured a few headlines. Our thunder ended with the sunset. Perhaps you heard about the proposed merger. The PGA Tour, the DP Europeans, and the LIV are supposedly joining forces. Unprecedented move. It will change everything. Hopefully, it will end the yearlong battle between the three organizations. The new collaboration is the

topic of conversation. All of the big dawgs are in Los Angeles, CA, for the US OPEN. The world’s top players have many different perspectives. They are doing their best to say the right things as they are all trying to win a major tournament.

I love my sister Kelley Olah. We don’t talk much as we are quite different. Kelley inherited all the good genes from the family. She is beautiful, wicked smart, and super talented. Kelley and her husband Frank are both lawyers. They have been in the Los Angeles area for twelve years now. My parents moved out to help raise the two boys.

Great place to visit. That is all. My sister has made several connections. She goes to concerts and chills with some big wigs. They go to Lakers and Dodgers games. Hang in there, folks; you will see the transition.

The Los Angeles Country Club is one of the city’s oldest and most prestigious golf courses. The 320-acre property in the suburbs includes two awesome tracks, and this will be the first time they will be hosting a tournament with such consequence. Millions of tourists flood to Hollywood and Beverly Hills every year. And it is quite easy to drive down Santa Monica Boulevard without realizing they’re driving past a world-class facility. It is currently ranked in the top ten in the world, according to golf.com.

The North Course features five brutal par 3s, a rustic and challenging layout, and some unique views of the Los Angeles skyline. This year’s US OPEN host is located a mile east of the UCLA Campus. She is only a few miles west of Hollywood and the Sunset Strip. The entire property is very well hidden. LACC is surrounded by fences and tall hedges. Even the driveway to the entrance gate is easy to miss, with no markings or signage. Gorgeous facility. Massive homes border the property. Many go for multi-millions. The Playboy Mansion actually sits a few klicks from the 13th

fairway. Lionel Richie can sing, but I didn’t know he was that loaded.

We saw some impressive rounds on day 1. Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele were on fire. They both carded 62s. A few familiar faces are there lurking. Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, and Scottie Scheffler are also in the hunt. Things will get interesting this weekend. The course will firm up, and the USGA will get even somehow. Trust me.

I mentioned my sister, and I don’t chat much. Maybe a monthly text, but that is about it, folks. No worries. She is rather busy, and we are still buds. Kelley loves to spoil Jensen during the Holidays. They are living a good life. We will exchange a few photos. But the past few days have been outstanding.

TRANSITION. My sister’s firm has a table. She is right there at the US OPEN. I wouldn’t say that she is a huge fan. But Kelley Olah is inside the ropes at LACC. She has sent me hundreds of videos. My sister is in the middle of all the action. I have enjoyed our friendly interactions. I have to explain who is who and why so many of the pros are so good-looking. Kelley’s favorite is Tony Finau. She got to follow him during Tuesday’s practice round. There were many others. A close-up of Phil. A video of Scottie. A snap of Rickie. Together with Jordan. Great photos. It was awesome to reconnect. OK. I am super jealous. I plan to watch the entire final round of the US OPEN. It is a Father’s Day tradition. Golf and I go back a long way. And now I am tuned into the TV in hopes of seeing my sister. Too funny. Cheers.
