Wow, I have never seen more potential jack-o’-lanterns lining the highways and byways of our area. It has to be a record crop for local farmers. There are tall pumpkins, there are fat pumpkins, there are pumpkins of every shape and size. With all the cost increases the local farmer has endured this year, I
Grape. Unalive. PDF File. We see and hear these words online regularly — euphemisms designed to dodge social media content moderation and beat the algorithm. But what is the long-term impact of using language that undermines the seriousness of a subject? When people repeatedly adapt their language to satisfy automated systems, those systems can begin
Being a parent has taught me a lot of things. And in no way do I have it figured out and I don’t pretend to. I am taking it one day at a time. I’m extremely thankful for the experience, and I’ve tried to attack parenting with the same mindset I have with a lot

The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered on September 24 to address a financial reality that affects every resident: the county is running out of money faster than expected and taking steps to avoid raising taxes again.

Fall is here and, like any other middle-aged whimsical woman, I am basking in the outfitting possibilities of this season. There are, of course, sartorial classics like flannel, plaid, trench coats, corduroys, big cardigans, and knee-high boots But for this year’s autumn I’m looking to switch up my fall styling with some unexpected outfit formulas.
When I was a high school student in western Pennsylvania back in the ’60s, if somebody said they saw a coyote, nobody would have believed it — but that’s certainly not the case anymore. Over the years, I have seen coyotes on several occasions, including dead ones along a highway, and now that we have
The long-awaited 2026 archery season is finally underway, and bowhunters throughout the state should be in for some ideal weather to start their season.

While the famous Tom Hanks line delivered in the 1992 movie A League of Their Own has been often referenced, its validity was debunked at Detroit’s Comerica Park during MLB’s final regular season weekend. The old ‘one, two, three strikes you’re out’ chant seemed more appropriate as two longtime pitchers and a veteran umpire all
I was recently asked to play in a few tournaments. I used to love golf, but now it is totally different. Yes. I coach the team at Lycoming College. I enjoy being around my boys. Our interactions are stupendous. I seldom play. No worries. My window is closed. I peaked when I was 30. I
There’s no better time of year to get out and about and enjoy all the outdoors have to offer in our little neck of Penn’s Woods. And yes, my title is from Luke Bryan’s hit song. The lyric pretty much sums up how so many of us feel and only wish we had more time
Be other people’s biggest fan. Support them. Encourage them. Root for them to succeed. You should never root for someone to fail, even if that person happens to be someone you’re competing against. The easiest example I can think of is sports. People will say, “I hate the Red Sox.” Or they’ll take it even

The sweltering heat of summer and the days after days of wet weather, followed by the high humidity of July and August, are finally behind us. The last several days of much cooler temperatures and less humidity are a welcome relief and a sign that fall is upon us. The arrival of fall ushers in
Even though the Pennsylvania archery season begins in a few short days, it extends all the way to January 24, 2027, and with almost 79 days of archery hunting available, it is not too late to take up the sport. Any new endeavor can sometimes be intimidating and always involves a learning curve of some
Pennsylvania’s statewide archery season opens on Oct. 3 and runs to Nov. 20 and then again from Dec. 26 to Jan. 24. In some WMUs to the south of us, the archery season started on Sept. 19. Needless to say, there will likely be a pretty good number of hunters heading out, but that wasn’t
Lately, I’ve been seeing an uptick in frilly, awe-inspiring pieces from fashion outlets. Things like ruffled baby doll dresses and twirl-worthy skirts, which, personally, I’ll take the latter but leave off the former. This also means that Victorian-era-inspired tops are semi-trending. Of course, dainty statement blouses have always been around, but the current offerings have

Growing up is hard. Parenting is also tough. Teach wears the pants. I am super soft. Jensen is now a Senior. Where did the time go? He is a talented kid, but he has some flaws. Jensen looks like Mom, but he is starting to act like me. The kid is weighing his options. The
It is a smorgasbord for sports fans as the calendar flips to October.

Fall has officially arrived, and that means it’s time to have some fall fun! Pumpkin spice everything, corn mazes, pumpkin picking, and more! Because everyone always tells me there is nothing to do around here, and because I am a bit of a petty sort, I’ve decided to tell you all the fall fun to
The statewide archery antlered and antlerless deer season will begin this year on Saturday, October 3, and as the season progresses and nears that “magical” time of the rut, bowhunters will be spending an increasing amount of time in the woods. While hunting from the ground or in a ground blind can be successful, most
It’s obvious that I am a dedicated supporter of the great outdoors; my whole life, including my leisure time and even my employment, has, for years, revolved around spending time in it. When I say the great outdoors, I mean spending time observing wildlife, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, or even paddling a canoe down a
As much as you may love summer and the carefree spirit it evokes, we all have to accept the changing season when it eventually arrives. Part of that acceptance is swapping your warm weather fare for fall staples. Of course, it’s never a hard pivot into fall, so to help you ease into the season,
The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered to address infrastructure resilience following severe flooding, resolve a long-standing dispute over courthouse space, and recognize the persistent challenge of food insecurity affecting thousands of county residents.

The Warriors golf year-round. 8 events in the fall and 7 in the spring. Our schedule is full. There is never a dull moment with my
The year was 1996. Bill Clinton defeated Senator Bob Dole to win re-election as President; Tom Ridge was governor of Pennsylvania. In January of that year, this area suffered a disastrous flood that claimed several lives, which was caused by melting snow, and the St. John’s School of the Arts came into existence. This year,
