Furman and Wentzel Claim Gold

By Scott N. Lowery

Financial advisors often review with clients the value of adding gold to their portfolio.

Montgomery’s Zoe Furman and Montoursville’s Gage Wentzel have already acted upon that advice, returning home from Hershey with state championship gold medals around their necks.

The latest in a long line of area grapplers to reach the state wrestling

s it r an eca e the rst District IV girl to win a state crown, defeating Greater Johnstown’s Sayona Harris-Haye by a 10-6 decision at 136 pounds.

Wentzel capped his senior year by winning the 172-pound AA title with a convincing 11-2 major decision over Derry Area’s Mason Horwat.

Safety experts will tell you that when climbing a ladder, it is best to do so one step at a time. Both heeded that advice. Furman’s triumph came after an injury

her sophomore year denied her a state championship opportunity, followed by a oss in the state na her junior year.

Wentzel’s climb to the top rung was a bit steeper. As a fresh an he ace fth at ershe third as a sophomore, losing in the state na s as a nior efore castin o t the demons with this year’s championship. Along the way, he became Montoursville’s all-time wrestling wins leader with 188.

Zoe, the daughter of Max and Jodi Furman, developed an interest in wrestling at an early age.

“I started wrestling in fourth grade. My younger brothers had been wrestling for a few years. I got tired of going to their matches, watching them, and not being able to do anything. I convinced my dad to let me start wrestling, and obviously it went on from there.”

A four-sport athlete competing in soccer, softball, and track, besides wrestling — Furman established an early goal and went for it.

“Ever since I was younger and the sport got sanctioned by the PIAA, it has always been a goal of mine to have this dream come true. Not just

for me, but for my family, my school district, and even District IV. To be the rst ir fro the istrict to win a state championship is an honor and something I am very proud of to have been able to accomplish.

“This past year, I had a strength and conditioning trainer I’ve been working with daily. After recovery, we would practice for about two hours. Depending upon the level of competition coming up, we’d adjust our level of intensity.

“The morning of the championship match, I checked my weight. I was pretty good, so I had a bagel with a cut-up banana and honey for breakfast. I’m a little nervous before every match, so the nerves were there. But the way I prepared myself, I was able to stay pretty calm.”

Harris-Haye presented a unique challenge, having defeated her the previous week in the regional tournament.

“Even though I had beaten her the wee efore this was ifferent. his was for a state title, and everything was on the line. I knew she was a good wrestler, but I did not know if maybe she didn’t have her best match the week before. Maybe she would change her approach

four days in a row. It all comes down to trying to become the best version of yourself, and that’s been passed down by others. You look at the goals you want to achieve, and if you have faith and a good work ethic, those things will fall into place.”

Wrestling at 172 pounds on championship Saturday left Wentzel with time on his hands.

“The morning of the match, I wanted to treat it like any other day. After the weigh-in, I had some smoothies and took a nap. Later, I ate lunch and just relaxed. Some of the other wrestlers, who ha nishe the to rna ent went out and got McDonald’s as their season was over. They teased me about that. As my match got closer, I went through my warmup routine and went out for the na s.

Parents Jamie and Mike have been instrumental in Gage’s life.

“My dad instilled in me the drive to improve every single year. I strived to do that, and it became doable. Every year, you need to keep on climbing, no matter what bracket you are in. You are oin to face ifferent

opponents, and you know the need to get stronger. I think what really helped me this year is my relationship with the Lord. Knowing he was with me in everything I do makes me feel more relaxed and allows me to wrestle free. My coaches always remind me to smile when I’m out there and remember it’s fun.”

In addition to his state championship and Montoursville win total, Wetzel departs the high school sport as a four-time state medalist, three-time sectional champion, two-time District IV champ, and one-time Northeast Regional champion. In the fall, he will be attending West Virginia University, majoring in Wildlife Management.

“The state championship was awesome,” he added. “But you’ve got to stay humble, and you can’t forget what got you there. You can never stop being kind to people, the way you speak, your actions, and the way you live a healthy life. That doesn’t change just because you become a state champion. You need to go day-to-day and do the things that got you there.”

Love Like Crazy

e a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you. Go to work, do your best, don’t outsmart your common sense, don’t let your praying knees get lazy, and love like crazy.”

Simple words from a great song by Lee Brice. I was listening to it in the car while putting in the many miles my son Beau has me driving to help him fall asleep. As I listened, it got me thinking. If we can follow these simple ideas, we can make a lot of people’s lives better, including our own.

Be a best friend. Be there for your

friends. Drop what you are doing and help them if they need it. Check in on them and make sure they are doing OK. Sometimes just showing up for someone can mean more than you realize. Surround yourself with people who make your life better and make you a better person just by being around them. When you do that, being a best friend comes pretty easily.

Tell the truth. This one can stop a lot of arguments before they ever start. Just own up to your mistakes and tell the tr th. o not et itt e s or ies t rn into something bigger than they need to

be. Fess up, apologize, and move on. At the same time, forgive people when they come to you, tell the truth, and apologize. Do not hold grudges. Let it go. Life is too short.

Overuse I love you. I grew up in a house where it was always “I love you” when you leave and “I love you” when you hang up the phone. Always let the people in your life know you love them. You never know when someone might need to hear it. I say it often, and I have said it in a past article. Pat McAfee says, “Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It may change their life.”

t o r who e effort into it. If you fail, so what? You did your best and learned something. Get st o rse f off an go at it again. Do not take shortcuts in life. Give it everything you have and be the best you can be. Then look in the mirror and smile.

Don’t outsmart your common sense. I need to work on this one myself because I tend to overthink things. If something is going well, do not think yourself out of a good thing. Trust the people you love. Trust in God, and things will turn out how they should. On the other hand, if something feels wrong, do not follow the bad road when the right choice is sitting right in front of you.

Go to work. Find something you are passionate about and work at it. Provide and work hard for your family. It feels good to earn the life you are living, and your family will appreciate it. Hard work was instilled in me by my grandpa at an early age, and I often think about working hard and making him proud. If we all worked toward a goal and did things the right way, it could have a chain reaction that makes people’s lives better.

Do your best. I have talked about it before, but if you are going to do something, attack it. Do not half do it.

Don’t let your praying knees get lazy. Pray and have a relationship with God. It is easy to get caught up in the ow of ife an for et to ta e ti e to pray. The life you are living was given to you by Him. Make the time and pray. Love like crazy. When all else fails, and poop hits the fan, remember what matters most. You have God, and you have family. Love like crazy, and you will get through it.

Sometimes the best advice in life really is that simple.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” ~ 1 Corinthians 16:14

(By contrast, our U.S. state was almost certainly named for the British monarch at the time it was colonized — Elizabeth I, so-called “Virgin Queen.”)

Like many other Virgin Islands in both the U.S. and the British group, St. Croix is famed for its snorkeling — particularly at Buck Island Reef National Monument, reachable only by boat.

The snorkel se of which offers one of life’s truly great pleasures — originally meant “airshaft for a submarine”; related to snore, it derives from German naval slang for “nose.”

(My thanks to the invaluable Online Etymology Dictionary for that material — and much of the other info here.)

On this trip, our most memorable underwater sightings included two flounders Aptly derived from an old Swedish word for at sh this to h to see s ecies ies i e a san co ere ate on the sea oor — with both eyes on the same side of its head! I was lucky enough to see one actually swimming into position at the island’s other famed snorkeling locale: the pier at the cruise-docking site in Frederiksted.

That city (and its larger St. Croix sister, the tourist-mecca Christiansted) both end with a term like our “-ville,” “-burg” and “-port” — often appended to names

when dubbing a locale. Sted is Danish for “place”; like its English cognate stead (as in homestead and instead), it’s part of a massive word-family related to the Latin sta — meaning “to stand (in place).”

In English, this base can also be spelled -sist (consist, transistor) and -stit (institute, constitution); so you needn’t think hard to see that this little piece of Latin has given us literally hundreds of common English terms.

And while we’re on isle-related origins: reef is likely derived from its samespelled homonym, which means the horizontal section of a sail. And thus it’s also connected to rib (remember that the F and B sounds are both made with lips!). At various reefs around the island, we saw tangs (think Dory); eagle rays (spotted, with a white beak); moray eels; and the somewhat intimidating barracua a si a e sh that han s otion ess in the water looking for all the world like a German U-boat. None of those have a terribly interesting etymology, so we’ll nish with vacation, which is of course just a form of “vacate” — as in, leaving it all behind.

When I looked up that one at Dictionary.com, the sample phrase was: “a vacation in the Caribbean.” Those lexicographers sure got the right idea.

Your Partn for What’s Next

A FRESH START

Rust Shine +

Last week, we explored style trends, highlighting garments like trench coats, asymmetrical shirts, and tops. This week, we’ll look at 2026 spring accessor s eci c tren s to chec in on belts, bags, socks, and shoes. First up, belts. Several different trends are happening for belts this spring. It doesn’t matter if you wear yours cinched at the waist or low on the

hips as long as the belt makes a statement. Be it extra thick, extra-long, boasting a giant buckle, featuring multiple closures, or even worn with multiple individual belts, a belt that commands attention is an essential accessory for this season’s trends.

I enjoy a thick, worn-at-the-waist belt, but slouchy belts are coming back in style thanks to early 2000s resurgences.

Regardless of your preference, take stock of your belts and consider add-

ing one to your look, whether through belt oo s o er a owin dress, or even over blazers and jackets to add structure to your overall silhouette. If you’re looking for an alternative to belts, check out belt bags or bags-on-belts, which are trending. This is not the fanny pack of the 1980s, but rather a sophisticated, modern solution for having your hands free while still carrying your

everyday essentials. The Maya Belt Bag from Katie Loxton, available from Nordstrom, has an actual belt-like strap and buckle that you can potentially wear through belt loops. It comes in a variety of colors, from basic black to vivid magenta. I have a version of this in my Everlane The Renew Transit Fanny Pack. I know, I just said this wasn’t a fanny pack, I wasn’t consulted on the naming conventions over at Everlane. Regardless of the title, you can wear

Another bag trend for this season is small evening pouches. Leave your shoulder bags and clutches at home for a night out. Instead, carry a pouch like Nina’s Metal Handle Satin Pouch Bag from Macy’s. This comes in navy, black, or silver, featuring a structured metal handle with a removable drop chain for hands-free use.

While not the roomiest of bags, pouches work for the evening because when you’ve booked dinner with your girlfriends, all you should really need is lipstick, keys, ID, and a credit card. For the daytime when you’re hauling wallet, makeup, book, phone, keys, laptop, and lunch, the trending oversized bags have you covered. Bags that act a t a o r st ff are ore f nc tional than fashionable, but you can still bring some style with a bigger bag.

Athleta’s All About Oversized Crossbody Hobo Bag gives sleek, streetwear vibes in the black version, made from recycled polyester, with outside pockets for keys and phone, a front pocket for quick access, and a deep interior with additional slots to keep you organized. This everyday bag can go from schoo ro off to wor erran s the gym (on a good day), and back home. For something a bit more bohemian, there s at ra ife s ff e vet Fit-it-All Bag in vario s ora rints. so with exterior pockets and loops for latching on additional, yet separately sold companion pouches, this carryall feels whimsical but is full of practical use. And yes, there are some very BIG bags out there, like Los Angeles Apparel’s Bull Denim Oversized Bag that clocks in with a bottom width of 21” and dept of 14”, t n ess o are ttin in so an sets of sheets for in-home massage” as one review of this tote notes, or functioning like a human book-mobile, the truly oversized bags are more comical than fashionable.

kle and even a bit further up. As the weather becomes more foot-friendly, look to clogs and wooden-sole clompers to stomp into spring. By clogs, I don’t mean the chef’s choice of Crocs, but instead a more traditional version i e or of o s offe n Swedish Style Clogs in either yellow or re to i e a ore ne tra o t t a o of color. If the open back gives you pause, consider BOC’s Cecila Heeled Clogs at Shoe Carnival, featuring a buckled back strap to keep it in place as you welcome spring with a strong foot forward.

Moving on to shoe trends, there are plenty of fun options for below the an-

For the more dainty-footed, there is the squaretoe trend. This trend can be found across all shoe t es fro a et ats to loafers to boots; however, for this s rin oo to ats. i ia’s Square-Toe Mary Janes come in over a dozen colors, prints, and textures. They have woven shoes in bold and neutral shades, as well as a mesh version in white. Any pair will add a graceful element to dressier springtime looks. For a chicer take, there’s Steve Madden’s Eleve Black Ballet at with a ore e ne s are toe to bring a bit of edge to a laidback o t t i e eans an a sweater or a jumpsuit and denim jacket.

Regardless of your shoe choice, don’t neglect your socks. Colorful socks, which you probably already own, are peaking out this season. A bright red, blue, or purple sock is an easy, no-fuss trend to add some color to your daily uniform. For skirts and dresses, consider swapping out your winter black tights for a sheer pair as a nod to the changing season.

For those ready to bare your full foot after a long winter, then look to the atest i o tren . r e i o s are mostly generic shoes, but this year red-sole versions are trending and make for a nice upgrade to last year’s rubbery black pair. Free People’s Interlude Thong Sandals come with a thick red sole and black fabric straps for a declarative take on casual footwear. If you’re in the market for a atter foot e there s oca s i ah in red with a solid white strap.

The main takeaways from Spring accessories tren s are to n ways to wear belts, have fun with evening pouches, switch up your shoes, and wear colorful socks. You probably already have most of these items tucked away, waiting for warmer weather. This is your signal to start unpacking those spring and summer clothes.

Spring Forward, Fall Apart

Well, folks. They did it to us again.

That’s right. Daylight saving time has swooped in like it does every single year, stolen an hour right out from under us, and left us all stumbling around squinting at our phones, going, “Wait… what time is it actually?”

Andrea McElroy

fee, so I just let Jesus take the wheel!

But here’s the thing, I try to remind myself every year when this rolls around: that extra hour of evening light? I mean, it is pure gold! There is something about pulling into your driveway after work, with the sun still up, that just ifts o r who e s irit. en ly, you feel like you can take a walk, start a project, sit on the porch, and just take a big ole deep breath. Spring is knocking on the door, and this is her way of saying, “Hey, I’m coming. Hang in there.”

I don’t know about you, but my body does not get the memo quietly. I feel like the older I get, the harder it seems to adjust!? or the rst few a s a sically a walking zombie who keeps telling everyone, “Well, it’s really only 6 o’clock.” As if that helps. It doesn’t. But somehow saying it makes me feel better? How does one ho r a e so ch ifference he a ar oes off an o r who e o is offen e . en the o is con fused. Ugh. It’s so dark out. I don’t want to get up! We’re all just out here doing our best and drinking an extra c of coffee to et o r tts o in in the . n on t e en rin cof

So yes, the week might be a little rough. You might be yawning through your morning, drinking three cups of coffee a. . an in e 8 p.m., telling yourself it’s “really” nine. And that is completely OK! Give yourself grace. Give your family grace. Maybe give your coworkers grace, too, because trust me, boo, they’re feeling it too. They just might be good fakers. Haha.

Listen, God designed our bodies to be resilient, and if we can survive Monday mornings, we can survive this. It might take a few days or wee s t o n o r

rh th a ain. he coffee wi taste a little stronger, the evenings will feel a little longer, and before you know it, you won’t even remember what the old time felt like.

Hang in there, friends. Spring is almost here, and it’s worth every lost minute of sleep.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take a nap. It’s “really” only 2 o’clock, after all.

The older I get, the more I am diggin’ these mid-day naps. I can see why the older folks like these. *enter cheesy smile here*

Welcome to My World…

What’s the Damage?

hen I was young, some would say that I was a fairly athletic person, as I participated quite competitively in various sports, both individual an tea efforts. s one i ht e ect s ffere share of injuries over the years and used a ton of ice and Bengay as thera . he ist ost in c e s raine an es is ocate n gers, and, of course, pulled hamstrings a s rinter s a ent. not s re how ana e it t ne er tore an or ro e an ones ac then. a ercies.

Melinda Wentzel

the rules have changed — and not for the etter. or starters I can injure myself doing absolutely anything — or nothing at a . can en own an pick up a paperclip and wrench ac instantaneo s . he twinge is familiar if nothing else, and I know I’ll be hibernating on the couch with a heatin a in no ti e. n wh is it that a stiff nec can materialize out of nothingness? I can “sleep wrong” and wind up with utterly debilitating neck pain — the kind that triggers pure anguish over the suggestion of ri in a car.

Fast forward to now, when I hurt myself in one way or another, I don’t o nce ac as ic if at a . t used to be I was laid up for a few days or a week at most, and then I was right back to normal, ready to pull another hammy in the ash.

Once I was pushing 40, however (and now considerably more), it seems

It almost goes without saying that my muscles and joints have aged less than gracefully, and I’m sure there’s a bit of arthritis lurking about that adds to my discomfort from time to time — which oesn t see fair at a . ho new that running a full marathon and completing a triathlon in college would ostensibly wreck my knees? Not 21-year-old e. tho ht was in inci e. t what n co ete nwarrant ed is that the reasoning behind most of

my injuries of late has been just plain stupid. Not so long ago, I was out for a walk at dusk, enjoying the great outdoors in our neighborhood, when I heard a tremendous crash in the woods nearby. Mind you, I clearly heard this crash OVER the music playing in my earbuds — so it had to be deafening.

For context, a few weeks before this event, a very large black bear was seen roaming around our neighborhood. He had broken down a pool fence, torn down one of our bird feeders, and had gotten into someone’s trash, destroying the metal can in the process.

So naturally, when I heard the noise coming from the woods, I assumed it was a BEAR and started running, sprinter that I am, or was, more correctly. In mid-sprint, I felt something snap in both of my Achilles tendons, but kept running lest the bear eat me. I then climbed and clawed my way up our hilly front lawn, assuredly tearing my tendons even further. Once I got to the top, I looked back. There was no bear, only an empty street, mocking me. I then hobbled back to the house — a walk of shame if ever there was one. Turns out, a tree had fallen in the woo s. Go re.

Another idiotic event involved taking our tiny dog, Jack, out to do his business in the backyard. He had a habit of wandering forever in circles, searching for the perfect spot. Because, of course, he did. While he was s sni n an searchin ina er tently stepped into a rabbit hole I had forgotten was there. It wasn’t a very big ho e st eno h to a r that was in fact, a fool. I can’t tell you how many ti es we inten e to in sai ho e but didn’t. As a result, I wound up with a hyperextended knee. I Googled it, there con r in s s icions.

Just the other week, I once again felt searing pain — this time in my shoulder/neck/scapula area. I hadn’t lifted a car or anything. Nope. I was just stretching. In the morning. Like a normal person. I wasn’t even out of bed et. feet ha n t to che the oor. But I knew the instant I felt the stab of pain that I would be on the couch with the heating pad in no time, assessing the damage.

By Wesley Sones

On February 28th, the Lycoming County Beagle Club held its annual Rabbit Hunt. The weather finally broke, giving us a reprieve from bone-chilling cold and snow. With warm weather and a bit of a breeze, my dad and I were able to get the two beagles, Trigger and Radar, out for a run. It didn’t take long before Trigger bounced a Rabbit

out that ran to the field below. We stood along the fence, overlooking the pasture, and waited for the rabbit to return. Radar bounced another out from along the fence. I told my dad to keep his eyes open. I looked to my left as Dad raised his gun. The gun cracked, once, twice. He thought he rolled him. I walked forward to check and stood along the fence, and the rabbit had doubled back. I pulled up and fired. After handing my dad my gun, I crossed the barbed wire

fence and retrieved the rabbit. With a rabbit in the game bag, we leashed up the dogs, and it was time to “hole up” ourselves at the clubhouse and share in the camaraderie and stories of others.

The Beagle Club’s kitchen staff, including President Steve Daugherty, Tyler Daugherty, Joe Sanders, and Denny McFadden, were all busy preparing the meal for the hunters. The smell of chili, chicken corn soup, and burgers filled the clubhouse with a cozy aroma.

Dave Johnson and Dave Hughes were on hand to weigh the rabbits entered from 3-5 p.m. My rabbit weighed in at 2.57lbs. Including yours truly, there were 37 hunters this year, including the 6 youth hunters who participated, all of whom submitted a rabbit for weigh-in.

Of the Adult hunters, the 1st for the heaviest rabbit was won by Jake Burgess with 2.66lbs. 2nd heaviest went to Paul Vandyke with 2.59lbs. The 3rd-heaviest rabbit weighed 2.58 lbs and went to Mark Burgess.

Our youth winners were Parker Vandyke for the heaviest rabbit with 2.64 lbs. The 2nd heaviest rabbit was awarded to Mitch Johnson with 2.48 lbs. Finally, the third-heaviest rabbit was submitted by Tobyn Libby at 2.41 lbs.

There were 23 Rabbits harvested for a combined total of 50.66 lbs and an average weight of 2.2 lbs. I would like to thank the Event Committee and all the members who helped with the hunt. A special thank you to all those who donated food. It was greatly appreciated. Finally, thank

you to all those who participated. Your participation and support are why we continue to do this so that the youth hunters of today can pass on this living tradition to the next generation of Beaglers and Rabbit Hunters. If you have an AKC-registered Beagle and are interested in joining us or learning more, please contact Steve Daugherty at 570-9166849.

Local Woman Organizes

Normally, I write about things that are more directly related to health, but my intention with this column has always been to highlight things that speak to improving our quality of life in some way. Recently, I ran into an acquaintance, Linell Stabler, and learned of the amazing adventures she was having taking people on trips to Africa. I thought, if that doesn’t relate to living life to the fullest, I

don’t know what does.

Linell, formerly a leader of the nonro t ancin o nities ucating and Serving, decided to expand her global travel experiences to southern Africa. Though traveling primarily to Zambia, she also organizes trips to Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa.

Stabler partnered with the Zambian tour company, African Safari erience to escort groups of travel adventurers on

safaris and many other African activities such as boat safaris, sunset cruises, and swimming at the top of Victoria Falls. Additionally, the tour company creates immersive experiences with local culture, food, dancing, and speci c e eriences s ch as camping in a nature preserve park, feeding elephants, and much more.

“In 2019, I was invited to a dear friend’s frican we in her fa i in o an Station,” said Stabler. “I jumped at the chance. It was to be held in an African church near a mission in a little village called Zimba, in Zambia, Africa. I’ve traveled internationally before, but never as far away as Zambia.” She went on to say that her friend, Ashley, had arranged with a local safari tour company to entertain the group for a week before the wedding, so they did safaris in vehicles, on foot, in boats, and by helicopter. The African bush wasn’t anything like she imagined. The terrain was barren, save for the occasional damaged tree and a few large bushes. “I was told that the larger animals-elephants, hippos, giraffes an rhinos ten to eci ate e etation pretty quickly,” said Stabler. “So, bouncing along in the open safari vehi-

cle, it was easy to spot herds of elephants off the irt roa an e en crossin the river with only the ends of trunks visible above the water.”

She found it fascinating and even surreal to see all those beautiful animals in their natural habitat and not caged in a zoo. Their small wedding party/family group even traveled to Botswana to tour a huge national park with lots of those sa e ani a s as we as water ffa o and lions. They camped in tents one night in that park and could hear ania so n s off in the istance a ni ht. At the crack of dawn, they had a perfect viewing spot for the animals’ morning drink at the river. Meanwhile, back at the camp, their tour guides had created an a a in rea fast o er the o en re. “I felt so pampered - and privileged,” said Stabler.

For several weeks before the trip, Staer tho ht s eci ca a o t the n gee jump from the Victoria Falls bridge. en after chec e in at the re istra tion ta e an was tte with the harness, I really hadn’t made up my in . t ric one of the other tra elers, dared me to jump with him. So, I did, and I was hooked! I’ve done it once since then and plan to do it again this August.” Another adrenaline activity that has captured Stabler’s attention is swimming at the edge of Victoria Falls. “The boat ride, the breakfast at the

edge, the ‘Loo With A View’ all make an unforgettable impact,” said Stabler. “I was in touch with a PA friend during that trip, fussing about all the work that I wasn’t getting done, being away for almost two weeks. He said, “ Think about the magnitude of where you are and what you’re doing. That’s been my approach ever since.”

fter her rst tri the to r i e Steve, asked Stabler to consider becoming the company representative in the US to organize trips to Zambia. It didn’t take long for her to say yes. Since that rst tri she has ret rne to i in stone a ia e ti es with the sixth one coming up in August. “It’s extremely rewarding to watch my newcomer travelers’ own reactions to all the incredible experiences that I’ve had,” said Stabler.

Stabler has also become involved with a small non-governmental preschool operated by Canadian Tammy Raymond in Livingstone. “I always encourage our travelers to take along some kind of school donation for the Baobuyu Learning Center that would likely not be obtainable there in Livingstone,” said Stabler. “Those donations are always much appreciated. Many of the Learning Center students are from single-parent or no-parent families and are supported by many kind-hearted, international do-

nors.” The Baobuyu Learning Center is a so a co nit center that offers ifferent in s of trainin an s ort groups to the neighborhood. “My travelers are always amazed by what Taman her staff are a e to acco ish with limited resources.”

According to company literature, African Safari Experience (ASE) is a safari tour company based in Livingstone, Zambia, Africa. Covering Zambia, Botswana an i a we offers er sonalized safari tours and itineraries, including tours around Victoria Falls. ASE creates an offers c sto i e ac ages for each traveler to maximize the best African Safari experience possible. ASE has informed and e erience staff on the ro n to assist each traveler from the moment of arrival in the country. Though the thought of the long trip, nearly 18 hours in the air, can be daunting, Stabler maintains that the rewards and experiences are well worth it.

“Not once in my life did I ever imagine that I would even want to go to Africa. Now, it’s the highlight of my year!”

This year’s opportunity to participate in this adventure will be August 14-26, 2026. After that, the next group will be April 5-17, 2027. For more information, call Linell Stabler at 570-419-1218 or set up an appointment to meet in person.

County Hall Corner Forward Progress

By Blair Steward

The Lycoming County commissioners met this week to address a matter that has stirred considerable emotion across the county. The Bush House Estate near the former Lycoming Mall in Muncy sits at the center of a debate that reveals how we struggle with change, even when change becomes necessary.

People showed up to express their dismay about plans to sell and demolish parts of the historic property. The estate, sitting on 10 acres, represents a piece of local history that many want preserved. Developer FAMvest has purchased the property with plans to build a Wawa convenience store, gas station, and hotel where the cottage and barn now stand. To many, this feels like trading heritage for commerce, swapping something irreplaceable for something ordinary.

But the commissioners explained what those expressing dismay seemed unwilling to acknowledge. The family that owned the Bush House could not maintain it anymore. The property needs over a million dollars in repairs, costs that extend far beyond what a family can reasonably bear. Without intervention, the estate would not be preserved. It would simply rot away into blight, becoming another decaying

monument to what once was rather than what could be.

This is the part that gets lost in the outcry. Not one person who showed up to exress is a a o t the e o ition offere to pay for the repairs. Not one proposed a viable plan for maintaining the property going forward. Not one suggested a profitable business that could operate from the estate and generate the revenue needed to keep it standing. The family made the only decision available to them, and the commissioners acknowledged they could not interfere with that choice.

The irony sits heavily here. The same community members upset about losing the Bush House are ene ttin tre en o s fro the sale. The former Lycoming Mall property has become a sprawl of crumbling asphalt and empty buildings, a dead mall dragging down property values and tax revenue across the area. The development will bring economic activity back to a site that has been hemorrhaging value for years. Tax revenue will increase. Jobs will be created. The endless expanse of the n se ar in ot wi na ser e a purpose again. This does not make the loss of history easier to bear. Both things can be true at once. We can mourn what is being lost while acknowledging that preservation

was never truly an option. The Bush House was not going to survive on sentiment alone. Without the million dollars in repairs and a sustainable business model, the estate was already on a path toward ruin. The only question was whether it would disappear slowly through neglect or quickly through controlled demolition.

My father-in-law once told me that the older we get, the more we should worry about leaving a better world for our children. That wisdom applies here in ways that complicate the simple narrative of developers destroying history. What kind of world are we leaving if we let historic properties crumble because we lack the will or resources to maintain them? What kind of world are we leaving if we allow dead malls to spread blight across communities because we refuse to repurpose the land?

The commissioners understand this tension. They operate in Pennsylvania’s

largest county by land area, a place where 1,244 square miles contain countless buildings and properties with stories to tell. Not all of them can be saved. Not all of them should be. The work of governance requires making hard choices about which att es to ht an which osses to accept.

The Bush House Estate will come down, and a Wawa will rise in its place. People wi their tan s an ra coffee on their way to work. The hotel will house travelers passing through. The county will collect tax revenue that can fund schools, roads, and services. The former mall property will serve the living rather than memorialize the dead.

This does not erase the history. The stories of the Bush House will remain, carried forward by those who remember. But those stories cannot pay for roof repairs or foundation work. They cannot generate the revenue needed to keep the lights on and the property maintained. At some point, we have to be honest about what we can save and what we cannot.

The commissioners meet every Thursday at 10 a.m., making decisions that balance sentiment with reality. This week’s meeting reminded us that preservation requires more than passion. It requires resources, planning, and a viable path forward. Without those elements, even the most beloved properties become liabilities rather than assets.

Lycoming County is moving forward, one i c t ecision at a ti e.

ppearing at the end of closing credits for Solo Mio comes this simple phrase: “Deo Gratias.”

That’s Latin for “Thanks Be to God” — and it’s appropriate not only due to the s ta ian settin t a so eca se that s the wa ost iewers wi fee after seein it. n ee this o ar ro co st nishin at oca theaters after a stron e wee r n has a ready made over $25 million on a startlingly modest $4 i ion et.

slightly against type as a a in sa sac who ets stood up at the altar after annin a h e rice we in in o e. So much for “the Eternal City.”

he a an on ent is art e aine att s anic in duced night in jail — though even that feels narratively ro e atic. t the thin is his is so en a in that it’s easy to leap over such logical gaps and just enjoy the ride.

Especially after Matt meets a charming and lovely coffee-shop-owner who signs on to help with his loneliness — and with his cultural and linguistic struggles, too.

It’s not hard to see where this is going; but Solo Mio does take a few left turns.

Some involve two other troubled couples who aren’t helping Matt at all. The male in one pair is played by Jonathan Roumie — instantly recognizable from his stint as Jesus in TV’s The Chosen; and in the other by Kim Coates, a lesser-known actor who handily steals several scenes in this picture.

My wife observed that Bocei s resence in the con veniently saves James from having to sing “Nessun Dorma” by himself. It also helps that Bocelli provided his own Italian villa for location shooting these scenes.

Another left turn takes the whole entourage to a country house owned by legendary Italian singer Andrea Bocelli — here essentially playing himself.

And yes, Bocelli does some winsome singing, including a terri c et with his a h ter, Virginia — and a showstopper with James.

n an case nishin o t the se ries of left turns is a nifty twist that the movie keeps up its sleeve till the very end. Not only is this all but impossible to foresee, but also, I myself needed quite some time to track back through the an re o t how this connected to earlier plot developments; but then, I can e awf ense a o t st ff i e that.

Fortunately, I’m not too dense to now a oo when see it. Funny, fast, colorful and romantic, this is yet another family-friendly gem from the increasingly successful Angel Studios. Slated to start streaming this week, it remains at the District through Thursday.

recent years, a popular alternative to lime is Humistart. It is spread just as lime would be, and is described as a soil conditioner proven to increase microbial activity. Humistart supplies calcium, sulfur, magnesium, and trace amounts of boron, iron, and zinc. It directly stimulates soil microbes, increasing the breakdown of plant stubble or manure and enhancing mineralization. Humistart provides a more soluble calcium than traditional lime.

Clover should be planted as soon as possible, and buckwheat will do best when planted during the rst two wee s of ne. t can e ene cia when ant ing either clover or buckwheat to seed either oats or wheat at the same time.

If you are fortunate enough to have any wild apple trees on your property, you should fertilize them as well. Carry a pair of clippers so you can trim any limbs or branches that may have been damaged over the winter months, and prune any sucker growth that has sprouted.

likely very dedicated hunters and are also more likely to be in the more experienced category. Put all of that together, and you may be looking at a higher success rate and a greater number of gobblers being taken in the spring.

Of course, there are other factors that co in ence the n er of o ers taken, and one big factor I suspect would be weather. We’ve certainly had some interesting weather conditions this year, and who knows what to expect come spring turkey season.

Certainly, heavy rains will cut down on those going out to hunt, and high wind e ocities on t a e n in an ca in a spring gobbler any easier.

On the other hand, if the weather is mild and calm, n in an ca in t r keys may be much more successful, resulting in a higher success rate, and adding Sunday hunting increases those chances.

I highly suspect the Game Commission will vote in April to eliminate that second spring gobbler tag in hopes of maintaining our populations. I’m sure the bioloists are waitin to see what effect n a hunting might have on turkey populations as well.

In the meantime, I’ll be happy to get out and nab one gobbler.

Planning for the new facility began in December of 2019 when the property was purchased, but three months later, progress was halted by the pandemic.

“The biggest obstacle we faced since buying the property in December 2019 was the pandemic,” Fink added. “That put the entire project on hold for a few years. There were some site development issues to overcome, but that early setback was the biggest hurdle we faced.

“We did a lot of homework before we invested in this project. We conducted a feasibility study, then updated it when we reengaged on the project. The numbers came back very strong regarding the opportunity and the need we could take advantage of. We are very positive about this. If you look at the tournaments and the number of teams that have already been lined up, it is a positive beginning. We think the interest will only grow going forward.”

While operating not far from the Little League Baseball complex in South Williamsport, there has been an explosion of travel ball in recent years, ringing cash registers at similar sports complexes across the country. Thousands of travel baseball and softball teams spend big bucks each summer competing in tournaments at sites similar to what the Lumber Yards can now provide.

Beginning with its scheduled opening on April 10-12, the Lumber Yards is advertising 17 baseball and 15 softball tournaments throughout the spring and

summer. A complete listing of those events can be accessed via EMA’s website, contact@williamsportlumberyards.com

Fink indicated that, because of the n er of foot e s a ai a e it has rawn si ni cant interest fro so e collegiate softball groups.

Asked about the potential use of the site by the PIAA, Fink responded that no determination has been made regarding the feasibility of the PIAA using the faci it for a off a es.

For years, the PIAA has used the Elm Park co e for a off a es. n res onse if any cooperation between The Lumber Yard and Elm Park has been talked about, in offere

“There is no direct connection between the Lumber Yard project and Elm Park. Understanding that this project is just getting started and depending on how things develop down the road, the operator would be open to working with Elm Park and other opportunities within the market to be able to bring in other tournaments that a e ar er than the se en e s co accommodate.”

The lumber era gave birth to the community centuries ago, and baseball has spread its name across the globe. This new Lumber Yard looks forward to continuing that tradition.

The Lumber Yards can be accessed by exiting West Third Street onto Rose Street. Parking for approximately 400 vehicles is available on-site.

Our simulator is up and running. The putting green is set. It looks incredible. The Warrior Go f tea roo is a ost nished. Much love to the Plankenhorns for their generous gift. We are so spoiled, and now the guys get to work on their games on campus. 24-7. Beautiful. Thanks to Lycoming College and our wealthy friends for their additional support. We play year-round. Seven events this fall and eight here in 2026. Our schedule is full. Never a dull moment with these kids. Props to Williamsport Country Club. They serve as our home course. We are so blessed to have an amazing facility in the backyard. Our shirts are always tucked, and we wear belts. My man David Coates takes great care of the Warriors.

Coaching Division III golf is the best gig in the world. There are so many perks. Very few distractions. No drama with these boys. We have minimal expectations. Our players have no NIL deals, and they come in all shapes and sizes. My guys always graduate. Our parents are outstanding. They come to many of our events. Yes. We have galleries. They don’t a e e when a a ies into the trees. No experts behind the scenes. You should play zone or play my kid, Coach. This never happens in this golf.

This is my 20th year coaching the squad. Yes. I have been mentoring the Lycoming College Golf Team for quite some time. I believe I am eligible for a watch. My second stint after a brief pause. I was with the team fro to . ste e awa to n meaning. I am still searching. But retiring from hoops left me with a void. Interacting with youngsters, regardless of the sport, is still very important. The opportunity came knocking. I signed back up, and I am so glad I did.

I love all of the boys on my roster. Everyone is so ifferent. e ha e a ast. he an rides are hysterical. The fall of 2025 was our best. We set several individual and team records. The Warriors turned some heads. Trending. Would I like them to make more putts? Absolutely. But they are great kids. I enjoy the camaraderie. Our interactions are stupendous. We are constantly laughing. Each trip is better than the last. I still enjoy the game, but I play very little. No worries. Golf takes time, and I would rather sh. a no on er so i . copetitive window closed. But now that I am around the boys, I am starting to get the itch. We are currently on our way to Penn National. A three-day golf getaway with the lads. Thirty-seven degrees and rain.

Great. I get older, but my guys stay the same age.

r s rin season wi ic off ne t weeend. Two days at Penn State. Some of the nest s a s in the i t antic egion will be in attendance.

Karson Kline is fro ear e . he senior was a st receiver. He is super fast. Karson has a great swing, and he will help.

Junior Will Eberz is our captain. He is from Stroudsburg. Will is now a junior, and he has a chance to eco e co in s G . er nishe in the to at o r Conference Tourney as a freshman.
