  • Jed’s Most Challenging Inning0

    Jim Webb

    It was a beautiful sun-drenched morning as we headed to Historic Bowman Field. This has always been exciting for me. It’s still hard for me to get my mind around that Bowman Field now hosts a major league game every year, complete with the huge digital scoreboard and perfectly manicured field. It’s an absolutely amazing

    Pennsylvania is home to a number of hawks as well as some falcons, and like a lot of others, I’m always trying to identify which one of them I’m looking at.

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Folks of a certain age might recall “Night at the Opera” as the name of a best-selling Queen record — the one with “Bohemian Rhapsody” on it. For those a bit older, that title also invokes the Marx Brothers’ classic comedy from 1935. But for Lycoming County music fans this spring, it means another exciting

    Congratulations to Brandt Harer and Austin Johnson on bringing home state gold earned through their efforts on the wrestling mat.
