We are all immersed in one of the most difficult times in American history. The hard-working, rule-follower, who gives their best effort, has never been challenged more — and from every angle. As I thought about my column and all that is going on around us, the end of VCU’s 19-point comeback over North Carolina
We will ‘officially’ celebrate Easter next week, but there are a shocking number of Easter events happening this weekend, particularly on Saturday. Once I noticed how many events there were, it felt like a bit of a disservice to the community not to feature them this week. If you map this out right, you could
It is important that we monitor what we are taking into our bodies. Now, yes, that means food. I think I have made it pretty clear how important I believe it is to eat healthy and take care of yourself. But it also means what we are listening to, what we are watching, and what
If there is one medical procedure that tends to make people uneasy, it is colonoscopy. For many individuals, the anxiety starts long before the appointment itself. The good news is that colonoscopies are routine, safe, and often much easier than people expect. Understanding what really happens before, during, and after the procedure can help take
If we’re lucky, some of the best years of our lives are considered the best because they are spent in the company of a dog. It’s what I think of when I hear the term “dog years” anyway. It’s not how old a dog may be in terms of human aging, but instead, it’s the
The month of March begins to usher in spring, and with that comes the high-flying flocks of geese that are a fairly common sight in Pennsylvania — and that’s especially true of the Canada Goose. Like a lot of other folks, I have seen a pretty good number of Canada geese going over, but on
Finally, the daytime temperatures are reaching into the 50’s and 60’s, Spring officially arrived over the last weekend, and we have seen the last of the late winter snows (hopefully!). Now it’s time to get outside and tackle a few springtime chores. Robins are bouncing around the yard searching for worms. Bluebirds have been showing
Five area Challenger baseball teams (East Lycoming, Jersey Shore, Mifflinburg, Montoursville, and Original Little Leagues) recently participated in their 2nd Annual – Challengers Skills & Fun Day, at the Liberty Arena on Saturday, March 7th. The Little League Challenger Division was founded in 1989 and is an adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and
I don’t like to gamble. It’s not my thing. I never played cards. Nor the slots. Forget about the skill machines, and those games of chance. I used to put money down on the Super Bowl. But that got ugly. I believe his name was Boris. I stopped giving money to my friends during the
While Major League Baseball teams were going through the routine wrap-up to their annual Spring Training, many of its best players were experiencing the game via the excitement and spectacular conclusion to the World Baseball Classic in Miami. The pre-game hype and the emotional aftermath of Venezuela’s 3-2 victory over Team USA left no doubt
Denim in 2026 is less about chasing trends and more about rethinking how you wear the jeans you already own. Jeans are a staple. Sure, there have been statement denim moments in the past, but in these times, jeans should anchor an outfit with quiet confidence. A good pair of jeans will lift up and
The Lycoming County commissioners met this week and took time to acknowledge March as Women’s History Month, expressing gratitude for the women who have shaped and continue to shape this community. The recognition felt fitting for a county that has been home to some truly remarkable women throughout its history. While the commissioners handled their
In Lycoming County in 2024, according to the Lycoming County Coroner’s Office, there were 22 suicides that year, and in 2025, there were 21. In 2024, nationwide, that number exceeded 48,000. To show there is hope and raise awareness of the problem of suicide, the Hope Squad of the Williamsport Area High School will hold
I will begin where I left off last week. My thoughts and prayers are with all who provide the freedom to write this column, the service men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Our Nation has been involved in a military conflict 90% of the time since its founding in 1776. This includes
Boys and girls, step right up, everyone has a chance to win a prize! You can’t argue with the Easter staples, so we are hunting Easter Eggs this year! As we patiently wait for spring to make its full arrival, it’s time to start our 6th annual Easter Hunt contest! Most of you are familiar
“Be 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
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 summit, Furman
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
With spring turkey season not far off, every time I head down the road, I’m checking nearby fields for feeding turkeys. I must say that I have been spotting a fair number of birds, and of the ones I’m seeing, a pretty good number of them have been sporting some good, long beards. According to
Finally! The official arrival of the first day of spring will occur on Friday, March 20, 2026, and after a much colder-than-usual winter, it couldn’t arrive soon enough!

There may be no known connection between fictional farmer Ray Kinsella in the 1989 movie Field of Dreams. What is soon to be unveiled in Williamsport, but that baseball field in an Iowa cornfield, and the one constructed atop an old city dump have one thing in common: they were both built hoping people would
Our simulator is up and running. The putting green is set. It looks incredible. The Warrior Golf team room is almost finished. 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
Last week, we explored style trends, highlighting garments like trench coats, asymmetrical shirts, and tops. This week, we’ll look at 2026 spring accessory-specific trends to check in on belts, bags, socks, and shoes. First up, belts. Several different trends are happening for belts this spring.

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.

Justin Flannery Hilton demonstrated remarkable determination in his battle with cancer. Although he ultimately lost his fight, his resilience and sense of purpose inspired the creation of “K’s for Cancer” in 2013 as a tribute to his legacy. The organization’s name reflects Justin’s love of baseball, where “K” signifies a strikeout. The hope is that
Carpeting adds warmth and comfort underfoot, but residential carpeting is a significant financial investment. Homeowners should do all they can to ensure carpeting remains in good condition for as long as possible.

Outdoor living spaces have become sought-after commodities among homeowners.

BRI reports that 65 percent of homeowners prefer cost-effective sunrooms when seeking to extend their living space.

One shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. However, that often is hard to do, particularly when it comes to homes. Curb appeal bears significant influence regarding how a property is perceived. A property that is neat and aesthetically appealing probably will be preferable to one that looks like the homeowners did not maintain it.
