In the past, I’ve mentioned a sign I have in the office. It has an American ag draped down the side and says in this place, we always salute our ag, support our troops, buy American, say Merry Christmas, say one nation under God, respect our law enforcement, and then it ends with, If this offends you, there s the door. In small print at the bottom, it says that we are obviously Politically Incorrect. It s a very quick glance into many of the things I believe in, and the only thing I would not have on this sign if I had it made is, as we are obviously politically incorrect. The reason why is simple: I m not politically incorrect, and I am proud to live in the United States of America.
So why did I begin my column this week, telling you about this sign and some of my beliefs in a nutshell To show that person offended by the sign the respect I mentioned. Please, if that sign offends you or any of my words above, you should probably stop reading. My column is not for you, and I don t want to upset your feelings.
Our Nation is at war with Iran, a
country that has wanted death to America for as long as I can remember. A country that for the last 47 years has proven this fact through terrorism and continued its evil ways in growing its power to the point it could soon have a nuclear weapon.
This is not only for us and Israel but for anyone in any country that didn t agree with whatever the Ayatollah believes. And when I say agree, that s probably not a strong enough word. If you live in Iran, you must exemplify 100 support and never show opposition. If not, you would become one of the hundreds of thousands of Iranian citizens who have been killed by this regime. Some by ways more evil than most can even wrap their minds around.
This self-imposed genocide is to set an example and make sure they always controlled their own people till death do they part. The departed are cast to hell, the believers in the Ayatollah s methods who carried them out, and the obedient have a spot waiting in heaven within the Sharia, their supreme leader has interpreted.
There should be no question that this is not a time for a divided America, as shown by our elected officials. This is a time, no matter one s political affiliation, to support our American troops and provide them the best opportunities to succeed. It is also a time of war, and to protect our great Nation on the home front through common sense and unification.
There should be no debate over the obvious from the threat of Iran, to operation Epic Fury, to the funding of Homeland Security, and providing the very best security possible to prevent a ma or terrorist act. This perpetrated by Iran or in the name of ihad for Iran. I m not even going to get into the ridiculousness of a partial government shutdown at any level and funding being withheld from the very people keeping us all safe on many levels. Again, this should be common sense to every elected official who takes an oath to protect the American people, not their political party.
I understand that President Trump could cure cancer, end hunger, and provide prosperity, and he would still be hated and vilified by the media, most
elected Democrats in Washington, and a large percentage of the population; however, you don t have to like him to support what s best for the future of our Country. You get through his time in office and prove you have better candidates and a better way to provide and protect, and allow the voters to decide during the election.
The most ironic point I can make is that whether you hate everything I mentioned on that sign or believe in every word, it is provided by the very liberty of being an American citizen. Through this and your unalienable rights, you can voice and state your opinion about almost anything and then vote for whoever you want.
I choose to support my President and our Troops. I pray for an understanding by all Americans of what s at stake during the current world con ict. I pray for our leaders, especially President Trump, to find a quick and ust path to peace. I pray for the American Soldier and his family during this most difficult time. Especially those who have been wounded or made the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation. And I pray for the innocent in Iran to find shelter from oppression, especially the women, and finally taste freedom and have choices.
May God bless and keep America safe.

From the Editor…
What’s Blooming at Webb Weekly
By the time you read this, it will allegedly be 70°, we will have sprung ahead into daylight saving time, and here at Webb Weekly, we will be deep into Spring Home Improvement preparation.
All of this can only mean one thing. The one thing I’ve been talking about and looking forward to for weeks — spring is starting to spring!
There is no better harbinger of spring than the West Branch Builders Home Show. Much like how Little League is the sign of the end of summer, the Home Show lets us know that spring is all but here!
It looks like the Builders Association has another amazing Show for us on the horizon! There are tons of vendors ready to help with all the home projects and improvements on your spring to-do list!
I also love the move to Liberty Arena the last couple of years. It really is a great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. A little home improvement research, a little bowling, maybe a little trampoline park, a quick game of laser tag, or time in the arcade, and
you can even grab lunch! All in one stop!
Lou has all the details on page 6!
Also, a round of applause for Laura Kriger, ason Shi et, and the rest of the Builders Association for putting together this show. I can only imagine all the work, hours, blood, sweat, and maybe some tears that go into pulling this off! I hope y all get some vacation time after this!
Speaking of Home Improvement, don’t forget that our Spring Home Improvement section is coming out on March 18th! This is a community favorite and one of the most-read and highly anticipated issues of the year, so I always encourage all of our wonderful advertisers — home improvement-related or not — not to miss this edition! Be sure to reach out to your sales rep to get scheduled! We will hit mailboxes ust in time for the first day of spring!
While we are talking about what’s coming up in the paper, we also have our Spring Car Care special section
scheduled for March 25th! Be on the lookout for great deals on everything automotive!
The 25th will also kick off our annual Easter Counting Contest! That will run on the 25th, and April 1st, and the winners will be announced in our Easter issue on April 8th. Be sure to get the littles in on this contest! The Easter basket prizes are enough to make the Easter Bunny himself jealous!
If you are more of the fishing, hunting, hiking, outdoors-y type, 1. I can’t relate, and B. be sure to watch out for the April 1st edition. That will contain our Spring Fishing, Hunting, and Outdoors special section.
So now that you know everything that’s going on here at Webb Weekly at the start of spring, how are y’all celebrating a new season?
New goals? New hobbies? Maybe taking a second crack at those New Year’s resolutions now that the air doesn’t hurt your face when you go outside?
Whatever you have on your spring agenda, be safe and take care of each other. The world is still wonky and doesn’t seem like it’s going to be less wonky anytime soon. We only have each other — our friends, family, and communities to lean on. Be sure to keep your village close. Check in on and help each other out.

65th Annual West Branch Builders Home Show Takes Place March 13-15
By Lou Hunsinger Jr.
It’s been a long and hard winter, and thoughts of that spring and summer fix-up pro ect are probably foremost in many people s minds.
Well, the best place to get the materials and expertise to do those pro ects can be found at the 65th Annual West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association Home Show to be held at the Liberty Arena in downtown Williamsport, March 13 to 15.
The Home Show brings together a lot of great local businesses and community partners in one place. We re looking forward to another strong weekend of sharing ideas and helping people move their pro ects forward, WBSBA President ason Shi et told Webb Weekly
Now in its third year at Liberty Arena, the Home Show will once again be held in the arena s spacious, comfortable open layout. The venue also offers a variety of family-friendly amenities, including an arcade, bowling, a trampoline park, and on-site dining, making it an easy destination for a full day out.
The Home Show provides a great opportunity for homeowners, families, and future builders to explore ideas, gather information, and connect with local pro-
fessionals as spring approaches.
The show will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, March 13, followed by the show opening to the public at 3 p.m.
Show hours are:
Friday, March 13: 3-7 p.m.
Saturday, March 14: 11 am.-7 p.m.
Sunday, March 15: 12-4 p.m.
Attendees can expect to find inspiration, practical advice, and a wide range of resources all in one place.
Exhibitors will be available throughout the weekend to answer questions and help visitors explore ideas for upcoming pro ects.
Exhibitors represent nearly every sector of the building and home improvement industry, including home builders, remodelers, design professionals, kitchen and bath specialists, ooring, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, windows and doors, decks, fencing, paving, real estate, lending, custom furniture, home security, community agencies, and more. A complete vendor directory and map of the show layout are available on pages 31 & 32.
According to Laura Kriger, an official with the WBSBA, the Home Show is made possible through the support of volunteers, including students from the Williamsport Area High School Construc-
tion Trades Program, Lycoming Career & Technology Center, and the Penn College Construction Association, as well as many dedicated members of the Builders Association. The event is organized with the help of ust one paid staff member and countless volunteers.
“One thing we’re especially proud of is our partnership with several community organizations that will have booths at the show, including the Department of Health, Veterans Affairs, and the YWCA. We feel strongly that the Home Show should re ect the full strength of our community, not just businesses, but also organizations that provide important services to residents. Having them represented gives attendees access to health resources, veteran services, housing support, and community programs all in one place,” stated Kriger.
In addition, this year’s Home Show nonprofit donation will benefit the YWCA. Supporting organizations that directly serve families and individuals in our community is important to us, and they’re grateful to partner with them this year and to have the Show be a place for them to get their mission and message out there.
Another meaningful part of the show each year is student involvement. We have students volunteering from Williamsport Area High School and Pennsylvania College of Technology, and they’re especially excited about the brand-new
student chapter at Lycoming Career and Technology Center.
According to Kriger, these students help with setup and teardown, but the real value lies in the interactions that occur during that time. Vendors and students naturally start conversations, and those conversations often lead to internships, mentorships, and sometimes even job opportunities. It’s a hands-on way to connect education and industry, and it helps strengthen the workforce pipeline right here in our region. Supporting the next generation of skilled trades professionals is a core priority for our Association, and the Home Show plays a key role in that.
The Home Show has been a part of this community for 65 years now, and they’re honored to continue that tradition. It’s really about bringing people together-businesses, homeowners, students, and community partners, all under one roof.
WBSBA would also like to thank its 2026 Premier Sponsors, JB Gibbons and PDC Spas, for their continued support of the Home Show.
Attendees are encouraged to share their experience on social media using #WestBranchHomeShow2026 and to follow the West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association on Facebook for updates and event information.
Admission is $5 for adults, and children 18 and under are admitted free with an adult. Tickets are available at the door (cash only).
Over 35,000 square feet of display space! Food/Entertainment: Enjoy concession style food at the show, as well as Scorz full bar/restaurant right in the same building as Liberty Arena! The arena also features Kaos Fun Zone arcade, a bowling alley, and Fly World Trampoline Park! MAKE A DAY OF IT!

Still Here in Spirit
I’m sure a lot of people do it — hold on to things that their loved ones used and perhaps cherished during their lifetimes. That’s why they call them keepsakes — something tangible that helps us keep our loved ones close to our hearts even if they’re gone from this earth. In theory, they’re items that hold special significance or meaning because they were once important to the deceased or to the person who ultimately winds up with them. Sad to say, I’ve collected a fair number of mementos over the years. And they all serve the same purpose — connection. Furniture, China, artwork, clothing, jewelry, knick-knacks, and boxes upon boxes of snapshots that ood our minds with memories the instant we open them. Some of it’s useful, some of it’s not especially.
its integrity. It just doesn’t feel right.
I realize it makes no sense to hang on to my dad’s wedding band. It’s currently stuffed in a tiny box in a dresser drawer. I sometimes get it out and slide it on my thumb, trying to remember how it looked on his hand. I suppose I could have it made into another piece of jewelry, but I don’t want to change
My mom’s and my grandmothers’ rings, by contrast, I decided to resize so I could wear them. Not every day, but more often than I thought I would. It sounds weird, but I’d like to think that when I put them on, they’re still with me, at least in spirit. They’ve come along to our granddaughter’s birthday parties, to special dinners, to holiday celebrations, to my aunt’s and uncle’s funerals, to our oldest daughter’s wedding, to one of our twins’ musicals as a choral director, to our other twin’s engagement, and to their college graduations and recitals (they were both music majors). Again and again, as I glanced down at my mom’s diamond ring, it was as if she were sitting right there in the seat next to me, experiencing the music, the performance, the ceremony, or whatever was happening at the time.
By the same token, my brother, who I lost to suicide 20 years ago, has been “attending” numerous events that I thought he might appreciate. I wear

some of his shirts like a warm hug, and if the occasion presents itself, I tell people that I do it because I’m proud of the man he was and that he needs to “get out and about with me.” Occasionally, I’ll open the bottle of cologne I saved just to remember, and it’s as if he’s right there. Likewise, my husband occasionally visits some of his mother’s clothing we’ve stored in the attic and swears he can still smell her perfume even though it’s been almost two decades since we lost her. It’s a way of connecting to his past, and I surely understand.
I suppose the weirdest keepsake to date is a plant that my mother-in-law loved and cared for as it sat on a windowsill over her kitchen sink for the longest time. It was an African violet, and we kept it alive close to 15 years — no small feat given our less-than-impressive track record of houseplant survival. My dear friend, Pam, makes it a habit to say, “Good morning” and “Goodnight” to her husband’s urn so that she might better function throughout each day. She also sleeps in Bill’s favorite T-shirts as a rule, helping her to remember him and the occasions when they were purchased. She kept his wedding band and has a gold heart imprinted with his unique thumbprint. Not surprisingly, she has a wealth of pictures
and mementos of their times together, and she still has a few of his voicemails, so that she won’t ever forget his voice.
Another dear friend, Ann, shared with me that she still has the duty assignment cards that were her aunt’s, who was a volunteer Red Cross Driver during WWI and WWII. That same aunt personally witnessed the Hindenburg explosion in 1937 in New Jersey, and Ann wound up with the newspaper clipping from that day. She also kept some dishes and handmade furniture from her great-grandparents and poems written by her uncle. Generations of family history were also preserved and passed down to her — something she values beyond measure. Ann also suffered a heartbreaking loss of her teenage son and has kept the model ship he built among a host of special mementos.
I truly understand why people like me keep the keepsakes. It’s so the connection remains, and the grief is temporarily replaced by feelings of comfort and remembrance.
Welcome to my world. It’s where I live (probably wearing one of my brother’s shirts). Visit me there at www.melindawentzel.com. Signed books are available on Etsy at PlanetMomMarket.

The warm weather and the excitement of the World Baseball Classic have me in a baseball mood. I figured this week would be a good time to tip my Oilers hat to the Olean Oilers. They are gearing up for their first season in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League. I was lucky enough to play for the Oilers for three summers, and those were some of the best summers of my life.
championship game one year drew about 5,000 people, with fans even standing on cars ust to get a look at the game.
The first pitch is always an event, too. Some nights, the mayor throws it out. Other nights, it might be a Life Flight pilot who lands a helicopter in center field, hops out, and ogs in to throw the first pitch. No oke. It is the kind of thing that makes summer baseball in a small town pretty special.
During my time there, we played in the NYCBL. I was part of the 2016 championship team and was fortunate to collect over 100 hits in an Oilers uniform. In an organization as decorated as Olean, that is an accomplishment I am very proud of.
Olean is a special place. It is a small town with a population of about 13,700, but on game nights, the whole town seems to shut down and head to Bradner Stadium. The stands fill up, and the atmosphere feels a lot bigger than the town itself. I remember our
I am so thankful I was able to experience Olean. Everyone there treated my teammates and me so well. We came there with the hope of being scouted to play professional baseball or to get better for our teams back at college, but we left with something more. We left with the experience of a special small town.
Mom and pop restaurants, local y shops, and a community that welcomes you in and makes you feel like one of their own. That is what makes places

like Olean so special. Now you might be thinking, Jimmy, we get it. Sounds like a great place and a great story. What is your point? Well, here is the funny part. I didn’t want to go.
I had ust come off a long college baseball season, and all I wanted to do was stay home, fish, hang out with my dog Buddy, and spend time with my girlfriend, who is now my wife, Lauren. But my dad insisted that I go and give it a try.
We settled on a deal. I would give it a try, and if I hated it, I could come home. Once I arrived, I quickly realized it was one of the best places I could have ended up. I made some of my best friends in the world there.
There are two lessons in that story that people my age sometimes do not want to hear.
First, give things a try. I did not want to spend my summer in a small New York town, living in a little apartment far away from family and friends. But I gave it a shot, and it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. I almost let my worry or fear of going keep me from taking a chance.
Second, listen to your parents. They have been through it before. They are not trying to steer you wrong. They truly just want what is best for you. They have lived through the same decisions and crossroads we face, and sometimes they can see opportunities we might miss because we are too focused on what feels comfortable in the moment. My dad knew that getting out of my comfort zone and playing summer ball would help me grow, not just as a baseball player but as a person.
I cannot imagine what my life would look like if I had not listened to my dad and ventured up to Olean. I made some of my best friends, got to play in front of pro scouts, and gained a second home in Olean, New York. It is a place I still travel back to just to grab some Tasta Pizza or catch a ball game. Shout-out to Olean, the Oilers, my teammates and friends, and all the people who make the team and the city special. Oh yeah, and Tasta Pizza. Cheers to a great week.

County Hall Corner: Lycoming Together
The Lycoming County commissioners met this week for a session that ran longer than usual, filled with the kind of detailed work that keeps a county functioning but rarely captures public attention. Before diving into the agenda, the board took time to recognize two milestones worth celebrating.
Deputy Registrar Kimber Smith was congratulated on 20 years of service to the county. Two decades of showing up, doing the work, serving the people of Lycoming County with consistency and care. The commissioners acknowledged this achievement with the kind of gratitude that comes from understanding what sustained public service requires. Smith represents the backbone of county government, the people who remain constant through changing administrations and shifting priorities.
larger than ourselves takes many forms. The meeting itself was packed with employment movements and financial considerations, the kind of line-by-line work that makes up most of county governance. Personnel changes. Budget adustments. Contract reviews. These items lack the drama of ma or policy decisions, but they represent the steady management required to run Pennsylvania s largest county by land area. The commissioners worked through each item methodically, asking questions, seeking clarity, and making decisions that will ripple through departments and services across 1,244 square miles.
Then came public comment, and the tone shifted in a way that felt significant.
The board also acknowledged the 111th birthday of the US Navy Reserves. For more than a century, the Reserves have stood ready to serve when called upon, balancing civilian lives with military duty. In a county where service runs deep, this recognition felt appropriate, a reminder that commitment to something
A representative from the emergency services unit stood to speak, not with complaints or concerns, but with gratitude. He thanked the employees of the Lycoming County landfill once again for their work and professionalism. He thanked the commissioners for their transparency in how they conduct business. The words were simple, but they carried weight. Public comment often becomes a forum for frustration. This was different. This was acknowledgment.

Another man rose to speak about the libraries, institutions that will be operating on tighter schedules due to budget restraints. His words were measured, focused on the importance of these community anchors rather than anger over the constraints. He understood the realities of budgeting across a county this size, even as he advocated for the resources that matter to him.
The commissioners responded by reecting on something that has defined their work together. Despite differences in political parties, they have found a way to work well with one another. They
spoke about visitors who consistently remark on how nice and welcoming the people of Lycoming County are. This is not an accident. It is a choice, made every day by individuals who decide that civility matters more than division.
other while navigating those constraints determines whether we succeed or fracture.
This is what good governance looks like in practice. Not the absence of difficulty, but the presence of respect. Not unlimited resources, but thoughtful allocation of what exists. Not agreement on everything, but a commitment to working through disagreements without losing sight of the shared goal.
the gratitude expressed by the emergency services representative. It will be the measured advocacy for libraries. It will be the commissioners re ecting on how to maintain the welcoming spirit that defines this place, even when budgets are tight and choices are hard.
The commissioners extended this idea to the work ahead. If we keep this attitude, they said, with all of the departments under the county working under one budget, we can work well together. It was a statement of intention as much as observation. The budget will always be tight. The demands will always exceed the resources. But the way we treat each
The meeting ran long because the work demanded it. Employment movements require attention. Financial considerations require scrutiny. But what will be remembered from this week is not the length of the agenda. It will be
Lycoming County is a big place, and governing it requires more than policy decisions. It requires the kind of patience and respect that was on display this week. The commissioners meet every Thursday at 10 am, handling the business that keeps this county running. Some weeks are routine. Some weeks, something shifts. This week felt like the latter.

Happy Heart Filled with Joy
have been asked more times than I can count lately,
I“How are you feeling?”
And I want you all to know that I am feeling absolutely wonderful. Truly. From the bottom of my heart, I am doing well and so incredibly grateful.
Gratitude has a funny way of changing how you see the world.
These days, I find oy in the smallest of things. (I did before I got sick, but now the oy is even stronger.)
Andrea McElroy
A hot cup of tea in the morning with my children laughing, my husband’s sweet smile, and the sound of Bear padding around the house. These little things aren’t little to me. They’re everything!!
And I want you to know — you cannot ruin my day.
I wake up happy, and I go to bed thankful. That’s a gift I don’t take lightly. Because I know whatever happens in this life, God has my back, and that’s an incredible gift and feeling. Nothing, NOTHING is too big or small for God.
Something happened recently that really touched my heart.
It was a Tuesday morning, the roads were icy, and before I could even think about heading into work, my boss reached out and told me not to come in. Safety first!
No questions asked. She was concerned about the roads. It might sound like a small thing, but to me it meant the world. It reminded me that I m not ust a number to a business. I’m a person who is cared for, and that kind of kindness stays with you. She is such a special lady, and I’ve worked for her and her family for years.
I don’t know how to explain it, but life feels full right now, in the best possible way.
My health is better. We are ust in an absolutely wonderful place that I don’t take for granted for even a single day.
Our kids are at such a fun age now, too. It’s so fun to watch them become young teens. They are like our little best friends, and we en oy our time together. Like tonight, Friday, March 6, we are all going to see the movie “Hopper” and going to dinner ust some good old quality family time.
I love what I do. I love the people around me. And I give all the glory to God, because none of this is lost on me. I know where my blessings come from, and I am ust so, so thankful.
Doing devotions every morning, spending time in prayer, and listening to worship music have truly been life changing.
I can’t explain it. You have to feel what I am feeling to understand. I have always been a Christian, but never felt what I am feeling until my whole heart issue last year. My relationship with God took off, and I am in love with the road I am on right now. It’s incredible!
On a fun note, for those of you who have been asking about my cookbooks, I’m excited to let you know that both my original cookbook and my brand new “The Grateful Table Volume #2” are available to purchase at Rust & Shine and also Maseto’s Deli, both in Williamsport! Stop in, grab a copy (or two!), and tell them I sent you. These books are made with so much love, and I’d be honored to have them in your kitchen. As soon as you walk in the door at Rust & Shine, go to the right; they are over in that area. If you can t find them, just ask the girls, and they will help you!
Thank you, as always, for your kind words, your check-ins, and your prayers. They mean more than you know. This community is one of my greatest blessings, and I am grateful for every single one of you.
Until next week, find your little things, and hold on to them tight. Be filled with gratitude every day. Trust me. Don’t take this beautiful life for granted! Have a happy heart filled with oy.

Muncy Student Aubrey Kreisher Earns Eagle Scout Rank, Makes Local History
uncy resident Aubrey Lynn Kreisher, 15, has achieved Scouting’s highest honor, earning the rank of Eagle Scout and becoming the first female Eagle Scout in Muncy.
Kreisher was honored during her Eagle Scout Court of Honor held February 22, 2026, at St. Andrew Lutheran Church, surrounded by family, friends, and community leaders.
Among those in attendance were Lycoming County District Attorney Tom Marino, State Representatives Jamie Flick and Joe Hamm, Lycoming County Commissioners Scott Metzger and Marc Sortman, and local officials.
She also received official commendations from Muncy Borough Council, State Senator Gene Yaw, Governor Josh Shapiro, and U.S. Senator Dave McCormick, recognizing her leadership and service.
For her Eagle Scout project, Kreisher led a conservation effort at Rider Park in Trout Run. She coordinated volunteers to plant more than 125 native trees to improve wildlife habitat and secured a $1,500 grant from the Pennsylvania Native Plant Society. She also created educational signage and informational pamphlets that will be used to educate visitors and students for years to
“It was important for me to complete a conservation-based Eagle Scout project because I want to lead others in making positive environmental impacts that will benefit future generations,” Kreisher said.
Since joining Scouting in 2022, Kreisher has earned 40 merit badges and served in several leadership roles, including Senior Patrol Leader.
She is a ninth-grade student at Muncy Jr./ Sr. High School and is active in athletics, band, and Technology Student Association. She plans to pursue a future in math and science.
Becoming an Eagle Scout reaffirms my commitment to helping others — not just through my actions, but by setting an example and guiding others to do better for themselves and their community,” she said.

Shed Some Light, Part 3: Local Conference on Teens in Crisis
“Adolescents are not broken and they are not reckless,” says Dr. effrey Hansen. “They are developmentally vulnerable in a high-dopamine culture that their brains were never designed to navigate alone.”
With decades of experience in trauma, addiction and adolescent health, Hansen is one of two speakers for the third annual Shed Some Light medical conference in Williamsport.
Joseph W. Smith III
Dr. Michelle Cretella, a researcher, educator, writer and past president of the American College of Pediatricians (ACP), will also speak at the free one-night event. It is scheduled from 7-9:30 p.m. on March 26th at Williamsport’s Trade and Transit Center, 144 West Third St.
Cretella — who currently chairs the Adolescent Committee for ACP — will begin the evening with a talk on “School-Based Sex Education in the U.S.” It will highlight negative consequences of teen sexual activity while explaining why approaches based on “risk avoidance” (formerly called “abstinence”) tend to out-perform “risk reduction.”
“My presentation will be an eye-opening discussion regarding the impact of sexually-suggestive and explicit media upon
children,” says Cretella — adding that she will also address “ways parents and schools can best protect and nurture our children. This will include reviewing scientific evaluations of school-based sex education.”
Conference organizer Dr. Russell Gombosi — who is board-certified in internal medicine, pediatrics and sleep medicine — adds this regarding Cretella’s presentation: “A pathway-to-success model reveals how delaying sex initiation improves long-term educational, life and job successes.”
After a short break with refreshments provided by Expectations Women’s Center in Williamsport, Hansen will take the podium for “Adolescent and Child Risk-Taking and Resiliency.”
“My presentation explores the current explosion in teen anxiety, depression and dysregulated behavior through the lens of modern neuroscience and human development, Hansen explains.
Today s teens are vulnerable, Hansen adds, “because their reward systems mature years before their capacity for self-regulation. In a digital world built on constant stimulation and dopamine-driven feedback, that normal developmental imbalance is intensified in ways no previous generation
has experienced.
What often gets labeled as defiance, withdrawal, impulsivity or even pathology is very frequently the predictable expression of a nervous system that has not yet been given the conditions required to build resilience attuned relationships, co-regulation, meaning, identity and belonging.
Fortunately, Hansen notes, the same brain that is vulnerable to dysregulation is also exquisitely designed for healing when the right protective systems are put in place.
This is an urgent conversation for parents, educators, clinicians, pastors and anyone who cares about the next generation, because the solutions are not found in fear or blame, but in understanding how young people are formed and how resilience is in-
tentionally built.
The Cretella and Hansen presentations will be followed by a panel discussion featuring both speakers, as well as Gombosi.
As the conference moves into its third year, Gombosi explains that it was born out of the liberal bias within organized medicine that limits balanced educational discussions, especially from a conservative perspective.
Shed Some Light is free and open to the public, with donations accepted to benefit Expectations; the conference is sponsored by .A.K.S. Realty.
To register, contact Gombosi at rgombosi openarmsmedpeds.com; or snail-mail to Gombosi at 3155 Lycoming Creek Rd., Williamsport, PA 17701.

Pests can be problematic for homeowners. Pests can be frightening, and an infestation can result in property damage if it is not discovered or treated promptly. According to Green Pest Management, termites can hollow out beams, beetles can tunnel through hardwood, and rodents can chew through wiring and insulation. It doesn’t take long for damage to escalate. And homeowners may not know issues are building until problems have become visible.
malodorous; otherwise, you might be luring pests indoors.
reate a bu er one outside Try not to plant vegetation too close to the home. While mulch is coveted for its use in landscaping, it can act as a highway for termites and ants. Gravel or bare dirt may be better against the house.
To address pests effectively, both inside and outside of the home, homeowners should prioritize prevention and physical barriers first. Chemicals and professional pest treatment services may be necessary if initial efforts are not enough. Here are some strategies homeowners can try.
Check the perimeter. Pests can enter a home through small gaps in the foundation, as well as around windows and doors. Use silicone caulk around windows and stuff steel wool in gaps around plumbing pipes. Address moisture issues. Many insects are attracted to dampness. It’s important to fix leaky faucets immediately and use a dehumidifier in basements or crawl spaces to make the environment less hospitable to pests.
Manage crumbs and trash. Pests like an easy food source, so move dry goods into glass or sealed plastic containers. Clean up crumbs around the kitchen, empty catches in the sink drain readily, and be sure to take out the garbage before it gets full and
Eliminate standing water. Clear gutters and address low-lying areas of the landscape. Turlock Mosquito Abatement District says mosquitoes grow in standing water, and they can develop into biting mosquitoes in amounts of water as small as that needed to fill a bottle cap. Tip and toss out any water to prevent mosquito breeding.
Use natural repellents. Peppermint oil might deter spiders and rodents near entry points. Diatomaceous earth is a fine powder made from fossilized, microscopic remains of hard-shelled aquatic organisms. While used primarily in some pool filtration systems, DE also can dehydrate insects with exoskeletons, like ants or roaches.
If pests become problematic and first-line treatments are not working, consult with a professional pest company to see what might be the answer.
Tips to Take Care of Wood Flooring
atural wood ooring is a stunning feature of millions of homes. Wood oors are appreciated for their durability and aesthetic appeal, each of which is bolstered when oors are properly maintained.
A host of variables can affect how long wood ooring lasts and how its appearance holds up over time. Wood ooring in homes with pets that roam around the house, such as cats and dogs, may require more frequent maintenance than those without pets. The same goes for homes with children, who may routinely track dirt in from outside or spill food and drinks with greater frequency than adults. But even wood ooring in homes without pets and children requires consistent maintenance. Homeowners who want to protect their wood oors and ensure they maintain their aesthetic appeal for the long haul can consider the following maintenance tips, courtesy of the National Wood Flooring Association.
itable, especially in homes where young children live. Though spills might not be preventable, the damage they can cause can be avoided with a prompt response. Cleaning spills immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth can ensure the oors do not soak up the spilled liquids. The NWFA notes that mopping wood oors with a wet mop or steam mop will damage the finish and the wood over long periods of time. If allowed to soak into the oor, spilled liquid can contribute to warping, swelling and staining. Each of those issues can be costly to address, but a quick and immediate cleanup can prevent all three from happening.
Sweep, dust or mop each day. The NWFA recommends daily maintenance to remove dust and dirt that accumulates each day. Such cleaning can prevent damage that can compromise the aesthetic appeal of the oors and potentially affect their longevity. Clean spills immediately. Spills are inev-
Vacuum once per week on the bare oor setting. Utilizing a vacuum is less taxing on wood oors than sweeping so long as the vacuum is on the bare oor setting. Sweeping is best avoided to prevent small particles from being dragged
across the oor, which gradually wears down the finish and ultimately contributes to a dull look. Vacuuming vertically lifts the debris off the oor, ensuring nothing is dragged along the surface of the oor. If you re using a manual vacuum instead of a robotic vacuum, vacuum with the grain to reduce the risk of damage.
Apply wood ooring cleaner once per month. If your wood oors are newly installed, ask your installer to recommend a cleaner specifically designed for the finish on your oor. If your oors are not new, contact a ooring professional for a recommendation. Wood ooring cleaners specific to a given oor s finish are
important because these products are specialized and formulated with both cleaning and protection of the oor itself in mind. The right wood oor cleaner won t lead to dull-looking oors nor damage the finish.
Recoat oors if they start to look dull.
The NWFA notes that recoating with wood oor finish every three to five years can renew the appearance of natural wood ooring that might be starting to look a little dull.
Well-maintained wood oors add much to a home s interiors. Some simple maintenance can ensure wood oors remain durable and aesthetically appealing for decades.
The 411 on Whole-House Generators
eather is unpredictable. Strong winds or storms can wreak havoc on power lines, resulting in outages that may last hours or even days. People have come to rely on electricity, not only for comfort and safety, but to power just about every aspect of modern life. A power outage can be a minor disruption or downright dangerous, unless a whole-house generator can take over when needed.
What is a whole-house generator?
NJR Home Services says there are some considerations when determining which generator best meets the needs of a household. It’s important to identify where power will be needed in the home, whether it’s a few essential pieces of equipment or the entire home. The more one wants to have powered, the more costly the generator will be.
The location of the generator on the property must meet local zoning requirements, which vary from town to town. A permit likely will be required for the installation work.
A whole-house generator, also called a standby generator, is a permanently installed system that provides backup power to a home during a utility outage. The generator typically runs using a natural gas or propane connection. Unlike a portable generator, a wholehouse generator is installed outside on a concrete slab. It is wired to the home’s electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). This switch will continuously monitor the electrical grid’s power and start automatically if an outage is detected. When the power comes back on, the ATS will shut off the generator and reconnect the home to the grid.
Generator considerations
Another consideration is gas meter sizing. A trained technician should schedule a pressure check to ensure that the gas supply to the home can handle the new generator.
What if there hasn’t been an outage?
Most units will test themselves periodically for a few minutes each week to recharge the batteries and keep the engine lubricated, which serves as a testament to the hands-off nature of these systems.
Whole-house generators offer peace of mind in an unpredictable world. When the power goes out, these generators seamlessly kick into action.
Spring Trends
As we look towards the official start of spring, and as the weather slowly turns over its leaves, we can start thinking about warmer-weather dressing and this season s trends.
To be honest, I ve never been someone to follow trends blindly.
I much prefer pieces that stand the test of time and quality staples that speak to my personal style.
Bernadette Ulsamer
However, it s always fun to check in on trends, see what resonates with said personal style, and how I can maybe freshen up those timeless classics and staples with a new twist or trick.
I also think you can utilize trends to reframe your current wardrobe and shop your closet to switch up how you wear the clothes you already own. So, with that framework in mind, here are some spring trends to consider.
First up, bright color combinations. If you generally gravitate towards neutrals, color-pairing trends can act as a soft launch means of incorporating brighter shades into your outfits. For spring this year, some colorways gaining ground are various combinations of blue, pink, brown, and red shades. Think ballet pink and cherry red, espresso brown and cerulean blue, scarlet red and cobalt blue, bubblegum pink and chestnut brown, or burgundy and ice blue.
You are likely to already have garments in some variations of these shades that you may not normally wear together. Let these combinations or come up with one of your own direct you to put together a new outfit formula from your current closet. And don t restrict color combos to tops, bottoms, and ackets; you can also create pairings with accessories, like tights, scarves, and bags.
Speaking of accessories, each year when the days get longer and the sun feels brighter, sunglasses become part of the daily uniform. Sunglass trends cycle through the usual suspects of aviator, cat s eye, round lenses, and tortoiseshell frames. This year, black oversized sunglasses are back in fashion. The right pair can feel like an outfit on its own when worn with simple basics. If you already have a pair, great, be sure to clean them off before popping them on. If you re in the market for a pair, there s Quince s Cartagena Polarized Acetate Sunglasses with black frames and grey gradient lenses. For something a bit more retro, check out Free People s Polly Oversized Square Sunglasses. I love popping on an almost ridiculously oversized pair of black sunglasses to add a bit of glamour to less-than-glamorous days when I m skipping eye makeup or sporting sec-

ond-day hair. Some seasonal trends aren’t really trends at all; they are more so garments and styles that just come back around as the calendar progresses and then recede as the year moves forward. For spring, an example of this is trench coats. Again, trends come and go, but this classic is always in style as March becomes April (it also comes back as September turns into October). I’ve had the same GAP trench for over a decade, and their current Icon Trench Coat comes in khaki or black and with a sleek silhouette that is just as fashionable as it is water-repellent and functional. Of course, you can switch this classic up with a cropped cut, pattern, or non-traditional color. Macy’s offerings from London Fog include several varieties of trench coats, like their Women’s Single-Breasted Hooded Belted Trench in smoky dusky pink, which hits both the staple of a trench and gives you the option for some interesting color pairings. I can see this pink coat working over a brown dress and brown knee-high boots for a low-key, yet fresh springtime outfit.
Similar to trench coats, cardigans will always have a place in a springtime wardrobe. Spring is basically the other sweater weather of the year after fall, and cardigans are ideal for the shifting temperatures of April and May days. A black cashmere cardigan is perfect to wear on its own or have on hand as an extra layer. You can also wear it as an accessory when draped
or tied around the shoulders. Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Cardigan Sweater comes in standard black and grey. Conveniently, on trend, it also comes in shades of red, brown, and blue for another opportunity to experiment with color combos this spring. I like how you can throw a cardigan of any shade over a grey tee and dark wash jeans to feel pulled-together for whatever your day holds.
Lastly, if you re looking to add more visual interest to your Spring outfits, then consider asymmetrical cut silhouettes, which are trending. Even the simplest dress, skirt, or top feels more interesting when it’s asymmetrical. If you’re a bit light on asymmetry in your wardrobe, check out Loft s Heathered Asymmetrical Neck Ribbed Top or H&M’s Asymmetric Top in dark taupe, black, or white. The intentionally irregular neckline of these knits elevates them from simple pullovers to something with a bit more polish. You can also do asymmetry in skirt form with White House Black Market’s Asymmetrical Faux-Wrap Pencil skirt. Wear this with a crisp white blouse for a chic, yet edgy look. If you already have asymmetrical pieces or want to experiment with this trend, keep it to one asymmetrical garment per outfit. Having both a skewed top and bottom may have you looking like you’re about to fall over, and there’s nothing trendy or fashionable about falling down.

Williamsport Area Middle School Brings ‘The Wizard of Oz’ To the Stage March 13-14
The Williamsport Area Middle School (WAMS) music department is preparing for its annual spring musical production.
“The Wizard of Oz” is set to hit the stage at 7 p.m. Friday, March 13, with a matinee performance scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday, March 14.
The musical follows the classic story of Dorothy Gale as she is swept away by a tornado to the magical Land of Oz. Determined to return home to Kansas, Dorothy sets out along the Yellow Brick Road to find the Wizard of Oz, who she believes can help her. Along the way, she is joined by three companions — the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion — each hoping the Wizard can grant their heartfelt wishes. As they journey together, they face challenges from the Wicked Witch of the West while discovering the true meaning of courage, compassion, friendship and the impor-
tance of home.
The production stars Giada Lewis as Dorothy, joined on her journey by Ben McKeirnan as Hunk/Scarecrow, Noah Kriger as Zeke/Lion and Noble Broaddus as Hickory/Tin Man. Violet Sponhouse appears as Miss Gulch/ The Wicked Witch, while Eleanor Schwanger portrays Glinda. Ocie Neuhard and Roan Broaddus take on the roles of Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, respectively, and Fuller Broaddus appears as Professor Marvel/Oz.
This year’s musical marks the directorial debut at WAMS for choral teacher Amanda Haney. “I have been truly inspired by the dedication and heart of our students throughout this process,” Haney said. “They have shown incredible teamwork, perseverance and enthusiasm, supported every step of the way by generous staff members and parent volunteers.”
Haney invites the community to join Dorothy’s journey down the Yellow

UPMC Expert: What Patients and Families Should Know About Kidney Transplants
Samuel Stea, M.D. UPMC Nephrology
When we think about organ transplants, kidney transplants are often the most common and the most successful. General surgeons frequently encounter questions from patients and families who want to better understand what a kidney transplant involves, who it is for, and what life looks like afterward. Whether you are managing kidney disease, supporting a loved one, or simply expanding your health knowledge, understanding the basics can help make the process feel less overwhelming.
Why Kidney Transplants Are Needed
Kidneys play a critical role in keeping our bodies healthy by filtering waste, balancing uids, and regulating blood pressure. When kidneys fail, most often due to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or chronic kidney disease, those vital functions are compromised.
For many patients with end-stage kidney disease, dialysis becomes a necessary, life-sustaining treatment. Dialysis performs important work, but it can be time-consuming and physically demanding. A kidney transplant

offers another option by replacing a failed kidney with a healthy one from a donor. For eligible patients, a transplant can improve quality of life, increase energy levels, and provide greater exibility compared to longterm dialysis.
What to Expect
The transplant journey begins well before surgery. Patients complete comprehensive testing to determine whether they are healthy enough for surgery and long-term follow-up care. Once approved, they may be placed on a waiting list or move forward with identifying a living donor.
Transplant surgery typically lasts several hours. In most cases, the patient’s own kidneys are left in place unless there is a medical reason to remove them. The donated kidney is placed in the lower abdomen and connected to blood vessels and the bladder.
After surgery, recovery includes a hospital stay and close monitoring. Patients must take medications, called immunosuppressants, for the rest of their lives to help prevent organ rejection. While this requires ongoing commitment, many patients find the improved quality of life to be well worth the effort.

One common misconception is that kidney transplants only occur after someone passes away. In reality, kidneys can come from two sources: deceased donors and living donors. Deceased donor kidneys are donated after a person has died and either previously registered as an organ donor or whose family provided consent. Because the need for kidneys is high, patients may spend years waiting for a suitable match.
Living donor transplants are possible because a person can live a healthy life with one functioning kidney. Living donors are often family members or close friends, but they may also be altruistic donors who choose to donate to someone they do not personally know. Living donor transplants often lead to shorter wait times and strong long-term outcomes. Potential donors undergo exten-
sive medical and psychological evaluations to ensure the donation process is safe for them. Kidney transplants save lives, but they also depend on awareness, education, and generosity. Understanding how transplantation works helps patients make informed decisions and encourages conversations about organ donation. Those conversations can ultimately change lives. Whether you are a patient, a potential donor, or someone simply seeking to learn more, kidney transplantation is a powerful example of how modern medicine and compassion work together to restore hope.

At the end of next week, spring will finally usher in warmer temperatures, and as the last of the remaining snow melts away hopefully! , it s the perfect time to get out and try your hand at hunting for shed antlers. If you have never looked for them before, you may well be in for a real treat. Besides, it is a great way to get some exercise, scout, and have some fun with friends and family. Finding sheds is a true bonus to a hike, and when you do come across one or two, it is a great reminder that some bucks in your area have made it through the hunting seasons and the tougher part of the winter. With that in mind, there are a few tricks to the trade and techniques for becoming a better shed hunter and succeeding.
Take the easy path first. From black bears to deer to humans we all prefer the easy path to travel, thus old logging roads are a great place to begin your travels. If you come across a well-traveled deer path, take it especially if it is leading to a bedding area or feeding area. If a deer trail leads to a fence or ditch that they must ump to continue their travel, pay close attention to both sides of the obstacle. umping the fence or the ditch might ust provide the arring impact that loosens one
or both of their antlers.
Think small. Don t focus only on a shed from a giant 12-pointer. Even when you might come across a larger shed, only a small portion of it may be visible often only the tip of one of the tines. When you find a shed, slow down and rescan the area. Often, the other side of that buck s antlers may be close by. On numerous occasions, when you find one shed, there very well may be several others lying nearby.
Pay particular attention to the southern-facing hillsides. Deer en oy the warmth of the sun on the southern sides of the mountains and hills, and the sun s melting of snow and ice makes the underlying food more readily available there as well.
Retrace your steps as you return from your hike. When you do so, you will be looking along the pathway from a completely different angle, and no doubt under different lighting conditions, which might make a small part of a shed antler more visible than before. If your travels lead you to a stand of oak trees or a cut corn field, slow your search since deer will tend to hang out in these feeding areas. Make sure you bring your binoculars. You should always have them with you any time you are in the woods, but they can help cover much more territory than ust scanning with the naked eye. Scanning
a nearby hillside slowly with binoculars will enable you to see sheds that may be hundreds of yards away.
Weather conditions. It is always great to get out whenever time permits, but if possible, try to do your shed hunting on cloudy or rainy days. Without the glare of the sun to reduce your focus, the overcast conditions make the light colored antlers pop against their dark surroundings. OK, great, you found some shed antlers — now what?
Some folks en oy slowly filling a basket full of sheds and setting it in a visible spot in their “man cave.” Depending on the size and shape of the sheds, they can be used as handles for tools or knives. Often, they can be fastened together to make desk lamps,
oor lamps, and even hanging chandeliers. They are used at times as door or drawer handles or pulls. In the end, taking time to hike throughout your favorite hunting grounds in search of shed antlers is just another great excuse to get outdoors, especially after being holed up in the winter months. You may discover some new bedding areas or travel routes for the whitetail deer that frequent your area and get some great cardiovascular exercise along the way. As an added bonus, make sure you are carrying your favorite “coyote tamer” because this is the mating season for coyotes. They are out traveling in search of a mate and are also more visible during the daytime as they search for hard-to-find winter food.
“The End Marks the Beginning,” and the title of this piece pretty well sums up what happens in March when it comes to our fishing seasons.
Our ice fishing is coming to a close, and our trout fishing season is soon to get underway.
day.
Yes, some fishermen are still getting out on the ice as we move into March, though caution is advised as the lakes begin to lose good ice. Compared to the past few winters, this ice fishing season has been longer and has featured some pretty good ice; our last trip out found us on 14 inches of ice.
Both lakes and streams are being stocked; 130 lakes and 684 streams will receive trout. As expected, most of the trout being stocked will be rainbows, with 2.3 million being stocked. The next largest batch of trout to be stocked will be 698,000 brown trout, followed by 128,000 brookies and 18,000 golden trout. Of those trout being stocked, 72,000, and that includes browns, brookies, and rainbows, will be of “trophy size” or between 14 and 20 inches in length.
So, when does all this fishing fun begin?
Like a lot of other dedicated fishermen, however, my thoughts are quickly moving from drilling holes in hard water to wading a nearby trout stream with a yrod in my hand.
This early spring period, of course, is when the trout stocking begins; stocking actually started February 16th, and this year the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission plans to stock 3.2 million trout, 70 percent of which will be stocked prior to the opening
The Mentored Youth Trout Day opens on March 28 at 8 a.m. The creel limit is two trout of at least 7 inches. The regular trout season opens on April 4th at 8 a.m. The creel limit is five trout a day with a minimum size of 7 inches.
Bear in mind that there are a number of special-regulation fishing areas open year-round, but special regulations apply, and those regulations differ for each area. I highly recommend that you check out page 24 of your
Ken Hunter
“2026 Pennsylvania Fishing Summary” to make sure you are in compliance in the area you are fishing.
Of course, the big question is, “What do you need to go out and catch a bunch of those trout?”
Answering that question would probably take at least ten more columns this size, and I’m not sure that would even be enough.
One point I think applies to pretty much all your trout pursuits is that you should keep your fishing equipment geared to the fish you are after. A light or ultralight open-faced spinning gear for bait and small lures, with line of
around 4-pound test, is probably a good choice.
If y fishing, I would go with a 7 or a little longer y rod on small to medium streams, and an 8 or a bit longer on larger streams. This lighter equipment makes it much easier to detect trout strikes.
Of course, there’s a whole lot more to catching trout, but that will require a number of additional fishing stories, and I intend to look into that.
Now, I have to get out and do some field research, so I m better prepared to talk about trout fishing.
See you on the stream.

In a well-known metaphor dating back to 1879, the phrase ‘there’s light at the end of the tunnel’ is often used to describe the end of disappointing times. Unashamedly, repeating its usage today, the same can be said as March’s arrival has brought with it increasing daylight, signs of approaching spring, the beginning of the local spring sports season, and the end of the month opening of the Major League Baseball campaign.

It also brought last week’s crowning of state high school wrestling champions, featuring a bevy of area boys’ and girls’ grapplers competing in Chocolate Town. The high school basketball playoffs are headed to a conclusion at the same Hershey Park venue next weekend.
Carmel (AAAA), and Selinsgrove (AAAAA).
On the girls’ side, Muncy (AA), Hughesville (AAA), and Central Columbia (AAAA) were gold medal winners. Benton (A), Southern Columbia (AA), Loyalsock (AAA), and Mi inburg AAAA were the District IV runners-up. In AAA, Mt. Carmel also qualified for the state tournament.
Collegiately, the Madness of March begins this Sunday when the field of 68 teams for the men s and women’s tournaments will be announced. The men’s Final Four will be played in Indianapolis, April 4-6. The women will determine their champion April 3-5 in Phoenix.
At press time, the wrestlers who would win PIAA state medals and the basketball teams that would advance to the state quarterfinals had not been determined, but the area was well represented.
In boys’ basketball, Sullivan County (A), Warrior Run (AAA), and Lewisburg (AAAA) won District IV championships. Muncy (AA), Southern Columbia (AAA), and Montoursville (AAAA) won silver district medals. Also qualifying for the state tournament were Mi inburg AAA , Mt.
Regardless of which teams end up receiving invitations to the Dance, there will be the annual ‘gnashing of teeth’ emanating from those left standing on the sidelines. Just like with football’s 12team tournament, there have been cries to expand the existing 68-team field, perhaps as early as 2027.
For 2026, the NCAA confirmed that both the men’s and women’s tournaments will remain at the current 68-team format. The selected tournament field includes automatic bids for 32 Division I conference champions and 36 at-large bids. The
decision was reached following discussion and mounting pressure from various stakeholders, which included power conference leaders and coaches who see merit in expanding the tournament.
However, those pressures, including logistics, scheduling, travel, regional site capacity, and financial implications, have, at least, temporarily slowed expansion plans. However, Dan Gavitt, NCAA Senior Vice President, left the door for future expansion open, stating, “The committee will continue conversations on whether to recommend expanding to 72 or 76 teams in advance of the 2027 championships.”
NCAA President Charlie Baker added fuel to the fire, explaining, Adding teams could add value to the tournament. We’ve had good conversations with TV partners CBS and Warner Brothers, whose deal runs through 2032 at the cost of around $1.1 billion a year.”
The NCAA Tournament expanded from 64 to 68 teams in 2011. This change introduced the ‘First Four’ round played in Dayton, Ohio. This round, a set of pre-tournament games comprised of the four lowest-seeded at-large teams and four lowest-seeded conference champions competing for spots in the traditional 64team field.
“If you have a tournament that has 64 or 68 teams in it, you’re going to have a bunch of teams that are probably among what most people would consider to be the best 68 or 70 teams in the country that aren’t going to make the tournament, “Baker
continued. “The point behind going from 68 to 72 or 76 is to basically give some of those schools that were probably among the 72, 76, 68, 64 best teams in the country a way into the tournament.”
While Baker may “probably” be correct in his assessment, regardless of how many teams are included in future expansion, there will continue to be gripes from those left out. I’ve never been one to believe that ‘bigger is better.’ However, more dollars seem to always be the coveted objective.
Men’s basketball coaches have expressed different opinions about an expanded bracket. Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, UConn’s Dan Hurley, and Alabama’s Nate Oats all favor the current 68-team field, with Texas coach Sean Miller favoring expansion.
“Never before has the tournament felt more even,” Miller said. “On any given night in a 40-minute game, it’s just amazing what can happen. I think adding depth will only make what’s already good even better.”
Kansas coach Bill Self, a two-time NCAA champion and Hall of Famer, expressed his belief that Big 12 coaches seem in favor of expansion.
“It’s close, but most would be in favor. I don’t know if you could make it where it was totally equitable all the way across the board for everybody.”
So, regardless of our view towards NCAA tournament expansion, enjoy the coming March Madness. But you can bet’ change is coming.
Special thanks to those who gave me some love. I received several notes and thank-yous from readers about some recent columns. Most were nice. A few were not. No worries. Your feedback is amazing. Appreciate the support. You make this worthwhile.
Fishing has always been my passion; my lovely bride would say I am somewhat obsessed. I would fish every single day if I could, and I came awfully close during the pandemic. Lycoming County provides hundreds of exceptional opportunities. We are so very blessed with several different types of water to target all kinds of species. All fishing is noble. My son is following in my steps. He also loves to fish. ensen has been with me on many adventures. He is getting older, and now he would rather fish with his friends — the circle of life. Many of our favorite spots are just a short drive or walk from the homestead. The Spencers reside in the 17728. Lycoming Creek serves as our backdrop. We fish certain stretches year-round, and now that hoops are over, we are out and about. Trout season hasn t officially started.

The opener is slated on Saturday, April 4th. Mentor Youth Day is scheduled for Saturday, March 3/28. More on those soon. Certain areas still allow you to fish for trout. ensen and I will head up to Powys, a delayed harvest stretch. We also fish the Heshbon and Memorial Park. Something I have done since high school. We are legal and legit. These sections in the Hood of Lycoming aren’t in the so-called stocked waters. Everything north of the 973 Bridge to Ralston is now closed.
Hundreds of anglers from all over the Commonwealth will ock to our great region in a few weeks. It is a tradition like no other. Many generations of kin. The goal is simple. Catch a few fish and commune. Some are much nicer than others. But let’s do our best to make them feel cool. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will stock three million trout this year. Several groups like the Lycoming Creek Anglers and the Loyalsock Men’s Club will lend a hand. Thousands of these poor fish are now residing in Lycoming County’s streams and lakes. It is a special time of year. These little guys have no chance.
People will be everywhere with an abundance of scrumptious ies, lures, and baits. It is madness.
I am always on the fence about sneaking out for the opener. I don’t do well with crowds. Jensen and I had an awful experience a few years back with some dudes from New Jersey. No worries. We are now chums on Instagram. But we vowed. Never again. Last season, I wrote an article on the fishing dos and don’ts. The Seven Commandments of Opening Day Trout Fishing to help. Bear with me. We are simply trying to bring common sense and etiquette back to our favorite sport.
A stationary fisherman has the right to remain where he is. Especially if he is routinely catching fish. Don t expect him to leave his spot just for you. Leave him alone and walk around. Do your best not to disturb his stretch or pool.
Please don’t throw rocks. They scare fish. The critters and birds get freaked out, too. Kids will get a warning. But adults. NO. Don’t.
A fisherman working upstream has the right of passage over someone coming down. Again. Be very careful and courteous to others. Don’t be that guy who splashes. Yield to those who actually know what they are doing.
Don t crowd other fishermen. Give them space. Do not cast directly in front of them. You would be surprised.
Stay away from beavers. Don’t feed bears. Watch out for kayaks and canoes. Many streams ow through private property. Kindly respect all postings. Remember that stream access is a privilege and not a right.
Give a hoot. Don t pollute. Get in the habit of picking up old fishing lines, cans, and other trash. It will make a major impact. I am okay with funneling those Genny Lights. But remember to clean up your mess.
Tight lines, boys and girls. Please respect our waters and the others who enjoy it. It is so important to get the next generation involved. Teach them sound fishing etiquette. Much love, folks. Cheers.
