  • Gas Prices are Down Bad Driving is Up0

    A happy summer to everyone. There is so much good going on in our neck of the woods; we all need to find positivity and pass it on with a side of kindness. This especially holds true on the highways. I’m just putting this out there in the most straightforward way possible; everybody makes mistakes

  • Sleep and School: A Love Story with a Strict Bedtime0

    I am not emotionally prepared to say goodbye to summer. The long days, the late nights, the obscene amount of ice cream I have ingested recently — it’s all been a dream. That said, reality (and algebra) is looming, and it might be time to start reeling in that “stay-up-till-2-a.m.-watching-random-YouTube-videos” sleep schedule. Let’s be honest:

  • Coach, Parent, Child0

    Time flies. The older one gets, the faster things appear to spin around you. For me, the time between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July annually seems to go by in the blink of an eye. Memorial Day signals that the uncertainty of spring is finally heading toward the warmth of summer. Then, before

    Bronzeback Time0

    There is no need to travel, as we are extremely spoiled. Yes. I do 95% of my fishing right here in Lycoming County. Some of my favorite spots are a short drive from the homestead. July is when I completely change my setup. I focus more on the summer Smallmouth. The water temperatures are up,

  • Counting Turkey Poults0

    A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were headed down some back roads on our way to the Bloomsburg area. I asked her to drive so I could concentrate on scanning the woods and fields for whatever wild game I can see. We were only a few miles from home when we spotted

  • The Roving Sportsman… The Lowly Groundhog0

    Young groundhogs, like the young of any specie, are cute. But they quickly grow out of their “cute” stage and before long are spreading their wings and traveling to new locations, where they will burrow holes as entryways to their dens. All too often, these holes are a problem — either in open fields or

  • Who Was “Rap” Dixon0

    When the River Valley Film Festival takes place later this week, it will feature a documentary about one of the Negro Leagues’ most notable and underappreciated stars, Herbert “Rap” Dixon. But who was “Rap” Dixon? He is considered one of the best former Negro League players not yet inducted into the National Baseball Hall of

  • County Hall Corner: High Waters and Higher Training to Deal with It0

    Last week’s “County Hall Corner” article was centered around the Greater Williamsport Levee System, which protects a large portion of the commercial area of our county from floods. Little did I realize when I was writing that article that there was a tremendous, horrible flood that would hit southern Texas, killing over 100 people, many

  • Cinema ’75: From “Jaws” To “Cuckoo’s Nest” … and Beyond “Fifty Years Ago in Film.”0

    That’s the title of a talk I’ll give on July 31 at the James V. Brown Library. Needless to say, for movie-lovers in that hallowed era, it was a very good year indeed. 1975’s vast and varied cinematic landscape is marked by two watershed events: First, Jaws became the highest-grossing movie up to that year,

  • Nautical Jewelry and Peasant Blouses0

    Is the beach your happy place? Do you enjoy frolicking in meadows? Are you having a “sardine girl” summer? Are you sick of all of your tank tops and t-shirts already this season? Does your style need a mid-summer reboot? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then let’s talk about two

    SECOND-HALF BEGINS The second-half of the 2025 MLB Draft League season begins this week with a 5-game homestand at Journey Bank Ballpark (July 16-20). While the Cutters spent all of June in 1st place, July was not as kind and they were not able to hold on to the top spot. The team will need

  • Enjoying the July Weather Safely and Together0

    The middle of July can mean just one thing in these parts; it’s time for the Lycoming County Fair. This especially holds true in the eastern end of the county. What a great All-American event that celebrates the area we call home. This week’s cover informed me this is the 154th celebration of farming, food,

    It’s Better than Bad; It’s Good! It’s Watermelon!0

    Ah, July. The month where your car becomes a sauna, the deodorant of those around you is tested hourly, and the dog refuses to go outside unless bribed (but also refuses to come back inside unless bribed. Having dogs is a weird dynamic). But it’s also National Watermelon Month, and that’s something worth celebrating —

  • Bears are on the Move0

    Come this spring and early summer, we hadn’t seen any bears in our travels or on any of the cameras we have posted around our home and in the nearby woods. That’s all changed in the past couple of weeks. A couple of weeks ago, on two separate occasions, a large black bear walked through

  • County Hall Corner: The Greatest Story Never Told0

    The weekly challenge of condensing political issues in a way that the average person can understand them is quite a challenge. But a bigger challenge is to find something that is also interesting and important to them. It is vexing to me when such a topic is important, but virtually no one finds it interesting.

  • When It’s Roasting Outside and Freezing Inside0

    For those of us who work in an office setting, summer can be a challenging season for outfitting. Depending on the dress code, you can probably get away with a more casual work uniform, but striking a balance between the warm, blazing-hot weather and the chillier AC environment can be a difficult task. How do

    As I’m writing this, it’s Friday, June 27th. And y’all. It’s been a week. I could use several expletives to describe the weather this week, most of which include references to the devil and the home in which he lives. We have also been on the struggle bus as far as technology is concerned in

    Remembering Chuck Roan: A Dedicated Patriot and Public-Spirited Citizen0

    This Independence Day, as thousands gather in downtown Williamsport, they will be greeted by a skyline dominated by an enormous American flag.
