  • Are You Spotting Any Coyotes?0

    Ken Hunter

    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 True Meaning of Lycoming0

    Blair Steward

    The name Lycoming stems from a deep indigenous linguistic tradition that predates European arrival by centuries. The word itself means sandy or gravelly creek, rooted in the language of the Lenape people, who were the original stewards of the lands comprising modern Pennsylvania. In their native tongue, the original name for the waterway was Legani

    The Roving Sportsman… Helping the Monarch Butterflies0

    Jon Pries

    Since 1996, the population of monarch butterflies in the Eastern United States has declined by nearly 80%, and one of the biggest reasons is the loss of habitat. Monarchs need early successional vegetation, with milkweed and various flowering plants such as goldenrod that often can be found in fallow fields, highway edges, and agricultural field

    The “Gold” Out Back0

    Ken Hunter

    Now, before you grab a pick and shovel and head out back of my place to start digging up some of those gold nuggets, understand that the “gold” I’m talking about here is the gold color on birds and not gold nuggets. I’m actually referring to the American Goldfinch and the Baltimore Oriole, both of

  • Williamsport’s Forgotten Nation0

    Blair Steward

    A border dispute created a geopolitical vacuum where no law existed. The Pennsylvania government refused to grant land deeds, establish courts, or provide military protection. Yet hundreds of families moved into the territory between Lycoming Creek and Pine Creek, anyway, settling land that belonged to neither the British Crown nor the colonial government. Survival demanded

  • Turkey Hunting’s “Grand Slam”

    Turkey Hunting’s “Grand Slam”0

    Ken Hunter

    I’ll be quick to admit that calling in a turkey is one of my favorite hunting adventures, and if I managed to pick up a gobbler every year in Pennsylvania, I would be tickled pink, but that doesn’t always happen. Of course, some hunters are successful every year, and there are even some hunters who

    Jim Webb

    The events celebrating America250PA are about to hit full speed. As are a couple of our summer fun giveaways at the Webb Weekly.

  • Cutters Manager Kenny Thomas Overcomes Personal Tragedy To Return to Manage Baseball0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    When you look out at the third base coaching box at Bowman Field, you see the seemingly happy-go-lucky and jovial Cutters Manager Kenny Thomas clapping his hands and offering encouragement and direction to his Cutters players, but behind that apparent cheerfulness is a man who probably cries inside and remembers the beloved wife that he

    Roaming Reptiles0

    Ken Hunter

    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.

  • Oval Church Celebrates 150th Anniversary With June Festivities0

    Dave Bellomo

    By any measure, 150 years is a long time. Remarkably, that is how long the Oval Church has been serving the people of the Nippenose Valley in Lycoming County. “150 years is a huge milestone,” said Pastor David Brenneman. “It is important to celebrate because this is bigger than just a date on a calendar.

  • Lycoming County: The Crown Jewel of PA Hiking!0

    Blair Steward

    Lycoming County owns Pennsylvania’s hiking culture. This is not an opinion. The landscape here is rugged and accessible in ways that make other counties seem small by comparison. Hundreds of thousands of acres of public land stretch across the Allegheny Plateau, creating a wilderness experience that has become rare in the Mid-Atlantic. The county opens the door

    I’ll begin this week with Editor Steph’s column from last week. She did mention to me what she would like to write, but I had no idea what she was going to write. I was just glad to take a breath, turn off my phone, and focus on Good Friday and Easter. I’m appreciative of

    Joseph W. Smith III

    As regular readers of “Weird Words” know, your local lexicographer keeps a massive running-list of oddball vocab. Laid out in space-saving, three-column format, it currently totals nearly 3,200 terrific terms. For April — since it is of course the year’s fourth month — I simply flipped to page four and selected a dozen: Bindi (BIN-dee,
