  • Be a Parent, Not an Enabler0

    Jim Webb

    The greatest event in youth sports will be on our cover and featured within our pages for the next two weeks. I am sure most of my readers know Little League baseball and softball are also the largest youth sports programs in the world. It’s hard for me to even get my mind around that

  • Something To Put Up With: That Pesky “Terminal Preposition”0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Among the many quotes attributed to Winston Churchill, one is his alleged response when criticized for using prepositions at the end of his sentences: “That,” he supposedly said, “is the type of nonsense up with which I will not put.” The quote is almost certainly apocryphal (that is, of doubtful authenticity). But nonetheless, it still

  • The Roving Sportsman… Don’t Become a Statistic!0

    Jon Pries

    Tragically, every year as the hunting season gets underway and the “army” of Pennsylvania hunters hits the woods, unpleasant discoveries are made. As these hunters travel deeper into the woods than normal in pursuit of small or big game, the chances are all too real that they may come across a hiker or camper who

  • Pennsylvania’s Wild Brook Trout0

    Ken Hunter

    This is hardly the time of year when anglers are thinking about catching trout; instead, bass, walleyes, and an assortment of panfish are probably what occupy their intentions on any given day. I understand since I too love to pursue a variety of the “warm water” fish species, but I’m also a dedicated trout angler

  • The Roving Sportsman… Make Your Plans NOW!0

    Jon Pries

    We have all learned over the years that it’s not a good idea to procrastinate. In fact, there are rarely any occasions when it is a good idea to wait until the very last minute to do what you know simply has to be done. The benefits of accomplishing tasks early far outweigh any poor

  • Getting Kids to Read0

    Steph Noviello

    Last week I wrote about how important it is for kids to read. But what do you do with the reluctant reader? The one who just doesn’t like or doesn’t have a lot of interest in reading? One thing I’ve noticed (and what librarians often say) is that reluctant readers don’t hate reading — they

  • The Right Kind of Pressure0

    Jimmy Webb III

    This article is for parents raising kids. I hope it gives you something to think about as you help prepare them for adulthood. And if there are any kids reading this, I hope it gives you a little hope and direction. To be honest, I wasn’t sure how to start writing this one. It made

  • Elvis Tribute Artist Among the Great Entertainment Featured At the Clinton County Fair August 1 to 80

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Elvis Tribute Artist Ryan Pelton heads the entertainment at this year’s Clinton County Fair August 1 to 8. In addition to Pelton, there will also be other fine entertainment at the fair as well. And of course, there will be other fair features, such as demolition derbies, animal and other agricultural displays, and a wide

  • The Roving Sportsman… The Birth of a Food Plot!

    The Roving Sportsman… The Birth of a Food Plot!0

    Jon Pries

    Last year, a northern Lycoming County landowner whom I have known for quite some time approached me about helping him design and develop a food plot. He owns 120 acres, which included 50 acres of open fallow fields and a wooded area of about 70 acres that stretched up a hillside and across a mountain

    Poults And Velvet0

    Ken Hunter

    As we move into these midsummer days, I find a couple of wildlife developments that seem to interest those of us who hunt. Sure, I’m always on the lookout for wildlife in my travels, but when this time of year rolls around, I find myself especially interested in spotting turkeys; not just gobblers but also

  • Smoke Happens0

    Jim Webb

    I hope that, as you’re reading this, the beautiful summertime sunrises, sunsets, and blue skies have returned. At press time, almost 900 wildfires were burning in Canada, to go along with more than a dozen across Northern Minnesota that were providing our local smoke screen. As the smoke was hugging the ground and I was

  • Reading is Fundamental0

    Steph Noviello

    For generations, parents assumed that if they sent their children to school, reading would simply take care of itself. Today, many families are realizing that’s no longer something they can take for granted. Whether you subscribe to conspiracy theories or not, there is no denying that reading proficiency has declined, and many teachers, parents, and

  • And I Quote…0

    Jimmy Webb III

    I am a pretty simple guy. I really appreciate and try to give thanks for the simple things in life. I have found that the times I get the most stressed are usually the times I overthink things. So I try to keep life as simple as possible. I like routines. I like plans. I

  • The Roving Sportsman… Stinging Nettle and Indian Pipes0

    Jon Pries

    A hike through forests and fields this time of year can produce some interesting results. Not only does one have the opportunity to observe the antics and activities of young birds and mammals, but many other interesting sights and sounds abound. A frequent sight during the early light of a new day is the presence

  • County Hall Corner: Planning Pays Off0

    Blair Steward

    The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered to address several interconnected issues affecting the region, from youth violence to economic development to the practical mechanics of keeping government operating smoothly. Commissioner Scott Metzger opened the discussion by addressing the recent shooting near Williamsport’s Memorial Park and the visible spike in violent crime among local teenagers. Rather than

    Well, many of you are going to love this column, and many of you will hate it. And that’s OK. There are Christmas lovers, then there are Christmas lovers just at Christmas. I’m just doing my civic duty to throw a reminder out there that we are less than 6 months away from the big

    600 Tons of Fun: Joe’s Big Boy Adventure(s)0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Union Pacific No. 4014 is the largest operating steam locomotive in the world. Notching 1.2 million pounds and 133 feet in length, the behemoth was one of 25 engines built for UP in 1941. Its normal home is Cheyenne, WY; but the last so-called “Big Boy” made its first-ever trip east of the Mississippi this

    It’s inevitable — we’ll all die. Sometime. We just hope that it’s not too soon, or at least I hope that. As Jim Morrison of the Doors once famously remarked, “No one here gets out alive,” and I don’t think any truer words could’ve ever been spoken. Regardless of how logical this statement appears to

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The red carpet will be rolled out, and the atmosphere in downtown Williamsport near the AMC Theater will resemble a glitzy Hollywood movie premiere when the Second Annual River Valley Film Festival kicks off on Friday evening, July 17, beginning at 5 p.m. The event will feature vendors, music, food, and a literal red-carpet experience

    Last week, we explored summer jewelry trends and how they can elevate warm-weather basics. Last month, we did a rundown of summer scarves. But necklaces and kerchiefs aren’t the only accessories for summer you can use to experiment with your style. With temperatures rising, staring into your closet most mornings during a heatwave often leads

    Confession: My husband and I haven’t flown in over 16 years — and it shows. I don’t know how that happened, it just did. Life got in the way of our travel plans, I guess. At any rate, we looked like fools at the airport, not realizing that people check in with an electronic kiosk

    Last week, I was talking about how wonderful our river lot neighbors are and how blessed we are to be in such a great area with an amazing group of what is now our river family. But how did we meet? If it wasn’t borrowing a lighter or a can opener, it happened like this.

  • The Roving Sportsman… Where Have All the Fireflies Gone?0

    Jon Pries

    This time of year, as the sun has set and darkness takes over the landscape, a magical thing begins to happen across the lawns and fields throughout rural Pennsylvania. It is the appearance of fireflies! Each summer, as they begin to show up dancing about in the night sky, I quickly flash back to my

    Ken Hunter

    Why would anybody want to go fishing after dark? I’m an avid fisherman, but I’ll be honest, I’ve had no interest in heading out fishing these past couple of weeks due to the sweltering heat and intense sun. I can’t imagine sitting out in the middle of a lake in a boat with temperatures pushing

  • Thunderstruck0

    Melinda Wentzel

    Apparently, I am a ceraunophile — a lover of thunderstorms. The term is derived from the Greek word keraunos, or “thunderbolt” and the word -phile, which means fondness. It’s a good thing my husband discovered the term lest I go through life not knowing this interesting tidbit of information. It’s not a new development for

  • “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Miss It”: Rockwell Rocks Another Sleeper0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    One recent Monday out at Muncy’s dandy District, a film-fan friend and I were badly disappointed by Disclosure Day. Ever hopeful for cinematic gold, we shortly thereafter home-streamed the recent sci-fi opus Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. (We’d missed it theatrically — because it played in Williamsport for just one week.) About halfway through,

    Alright. Who’s the one who took this picture of me in our kitchen!? It’s pretty clear it’s me, right down to the blue fuzzy star robe and slippers. The cute black dog attached to hims momma’s hip kinda gave it away too. This is literally what my slow mornings look like at home. Messy bun,

It fits them well! Showman P.T. Barnum is credited with saying, “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” The rationale being

    The Lycoming County Commissioners moved their weekly meeting to Wednesday, June 24, breaking from their standard Thursday schedule to address an urgent matter that demanded immediate action.
