The afternoon was cold and sunny — perfect for a winter’s day — as I drove to Mifflinburg for the Camp Koala Volunteer Appreciation Party on Saturday, Dec. 14. As I walked into Camp Koala’s building, I was filled with delight by the beautiful holiday decorations. Christmas music was playing softly in the background and the scent of food cooking made me smile. What a wonderful way to recognize volunteers. The beauty was not just the decorations, but the atmosphere of love for the children who come to Camp Koala. Founded by Lisa Streett-Liebetrau , in memory of her sisters, Shelly and Heather, who died in a car accident, the tragedy and Lisa’s grief planted the seeds for Camp Koala to help grieving children in our community. There are crafts, books, toys, comfy seats, and more to give the children a feeling of home. Lisa walked over to greet me. She introduced me to Sherri Neece , and Sue Mapes , volunteers since 2017. I also chatted with Chris Heim , who became involved when she moved back to Mifflinburg. Chris is the board secretary. I was happy to spend time with Kim Sawyer , board treasurer and camp secretary. It has been a long time. The volunteers were treated to an amazing array of food and drink: dips, sliders, two kinds of soup, pasta, chili, chips, veggies, cheese, cold cuts, condiments, cookies, and more. Wine, beer, and soft drinks, too. Board member Kim Kuba was enjoying the food and the socializing. She was thrilled when her daughter, Maria Kuba-Adair , son-in-law Brian Kuba-Adair , and granddaughter Esme arrived from State College. Mifflinburg Police Chief Jeff Hackenburg arrived and brought his big smile and fun sense of humor. I enjoyed hearing his anecdotes. It was Christkindl Market weekend and some guests at the Volunteer Party came after being there. They regaled us with tales of the fun, music, and festivities that make the Market an important part of holiday plans. Mom-daughter duo J enna and Everly Breininger were enjoying themselves throughout the afternoon. The party atmosphere was relaxed and joyful, with lots of laughter. Bucknell psychology professor Chris Boyatzis stopped in. He told me that some of his students work with the Camp Koala kids and it’s a win-win all around. Vicki Danner and Kevin Zimmerman arrived later in the afternoon. Kevin is a Camp Koala volunteer who uses his fishing expertise working with the campers. He also donates a bass fishing trip to the Camp Koala Gala Auction. It was an honor to spend time with Camp Koala volunteers, hear their stories, and to celebrate them. Their work with grieving children is a shining example of from-the-heart volunteerism. Thank you all. And thank you Lisa Streett-Liebetrau for turning your grief into a program to help children dealing with their grief. I am honored to have been included in this beautiful afternoon. I wish all of you, my dear readers, a happy, healthy, beautiful 2025. It is a joy to be On the Scene for events throughout our Valley. See you next year.

However, it is starting to feel like Nintendo's inactivity on the Switch 2 front could lead to a few problems, especially if the company continues to dilly-dally and further delay the release date. Indeed, just days after Microsoft confirmed that a handheld Xbox is in the early stages of development, a new report suggests Sony is working on handheld device capable of natively running PS5 games. Sony's PlayStation Portal lets users access their PS5 library remotely via internet streaming, but doesn't let users download games directly to the device. It's a pretty decent console if you have a fast internet speeds, but you will experience connection issues and lag when WiFi cuts out or multiple devices are in use throughout the household. According to Bloomberg, Sony's new device is in the early stages of development, and will actually let you download and play your PS5 games directly from the device. This makes it much closer to something like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck in terms of functionality, just with a lot more power. Similar to the PlayStation Portal, the new Sony handheld would presumably come with all of the functionality that makes the PS5 such a popular console. It comes with a gorgeous 8-inch LCD screen, which can handle gameplay at 60 frames-per-second in 1080p. However, what makes the PlayStation Portal superior to similar remote play devices are the controls. the PlayStation Portal is essentially a DualSense controller with a screen in the middle. As such, it has all of the same functionality, including advanced haptic feedback, touchpad support (via the actual display), and adaptive triggers.
