  • Winner, Winner And Breakfast for Dinner0

    Some people love Christmas, for others it’s Halloween… For me? It’s the 4th of July. Fireworks! Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood! Fireworks! Punny t-shirts! (Mine says ‘Abraham Drinkin’ with a pic of Honest Abe with a beer.) Fireworks! American flags as far as the eye can see! Fireworks! And no pressure to go, do, or

  • Let the Big Dog Eat0

    “You can’t complain about your plate being full if your goal is to eat.” That is a quote from Nick Bare, and I thought it was awesome. I have mentioned before how much I enjoy listening to him, but this one really got me thinking. Recently, just for fun, I did a “day in the

    Glacier National Park0

    My extended family and I are currently in Glacier. A stunning National Park in northwest Montana. We return Sunday. Fantastic times. Totally off the grid. But there is free Wi-Fi. My article is loading. Glacier NP is outstanding. She spans over one million acres of super rugged terrain, pristine pines, turquoise lakes, and flowing waters.

  • When The “Wild” Gets Too Friendly0

    If you live in a country setting like most of us do around this part of the state, we are used to spotting an assortment of wildlife roaming about the nearby forests and fields, and even our backyards. Over the past few weeks, we have had a couple of black bears walk by the house,

  • Too Much Information0

    The Lycoming County Commissioners faced a fundamental problem at their recent meeting. The zoning ordinance they had been relying on to regulate data centers was written in 1991 and last amended in 2021. Neither version anticipated the scale and resource demands of modern data centers. These massive operations consume enormous amounts of electricity and water,

  • Remembering the Bicentennial of 19760

    By Lou Hunsinger, Jr. As we get ready to celebrate the 250th anniversary of this nation’s birth, it might be interesting to look back just 50 years to remember what things were like during the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976. It was a time when institutions, both private and public, went out of their way to

  • 250th – With Pride0

    Fifteen months before the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, the fight leading to the birth of our nation rang out with the battle of Lexington & Concord. That April 19, 1775, skirmish amounted to spring training for the Revolutionary War, with the scoreboard showing Minutemen 1, Redcoats 0. On that historic day, 49

    Reduce the Risk of Lost Pets0

Even more telling—about 97% of pet owners consider their pets part of the family. Bringing a pet into your home is a

    I am almost a full year into writing these weekly articles. Honestly, it was something I was not sure about doing at first. When I felt God calling me to start writing and brought the idea to my wife, I think we were both a little unsure. Would people read them? Would I run out

  • The Roving Sportsman… Seeking Permission to Hunt0

    Hunters today have three basic options for where to hunt. There is public land, such as our Pennsylvania state game lands and state forests, but they can sometimes be crowded by other hunters whom you don’t know, and you can’t be too sure they are ethical sportsmen. You could join a hunting camp or buy

  • The Unexpected0

    I’ll be honest, every time I head out to a lake or stream for some fishing, I’ve pretty much decided what species of fish I intend to pursue. My reason for that approach is to choose the right equipment, lures and presentation to accomplish a successful trip. This approach is especially true when I plan

  • Beauty Essentials Part 10

    While it’s fun to try different products and samples, it takes actual work to find those core lotions, potions, and eye shadow palettes that do the real work of helping you maintain a healthy skin barrier and put your best face and hair forward to meet the day.

    We’ve all shared the experience. The passing of a loved one or dear friend fills our thoughts and conjures up memories we’ve shared. It’s hard to let go. For me, another one of those life-sadnesses occurred a few weeks ago, when good friend and colleague, Mike Fogarty, suited up for the team above. Mike could

    Before I begin, I need to chime in. Jensen experienced a minor mishap. Too good not to share with the general public. He’s fine. I wrote an epic poem that has gone viral. The photos helped describe Jensen’s attempt in the kitchen. I gave him an A for effort. The poor kid had a learning

    Remembering My Dad and the Boys’ Pop Pop0

    I was very blessed to have my Dad as long as I did. As good a father as he was, he was an even better grandfather to Jimmy and Hunter. I only wish he would have had more years to spend with them, watch them grow, and share their milestones. In my column last year,

    Much like my Mother’s Day list, my Father’s Day list changes and flow and gets a few edits along the way, but I think it’s a pretty good list. So much like Dads usually appreciate, let’s not get too fussy (just a little fussy) and get on with it… I told the moms on Mother’s

    I am writing this as I get ready for my first Father’s Day as a dad. That still feels crazy to say. I have fully embraced my dad era. I am in bed by 8:00, loud music annoys me, and last week I think I almost yelled, “Get off my lawn!” Just kidding on that

    Roaming Reptiles0

    I’m always on the lookout for wildlife in my daily travels, but it seems like spring and early summer result in a lot more sightings. A lot of young are being born and beginning to move about, which no doubt adds to more encounters and sightings, and that also holds true for our reptile populations.
