Now that the regular firearms deer seasons are over, it’s time to start looking at some other outdoor ventures — more specifically, I’m talking about ice fishing. Sure, there are still some hunting opportunities that remain, like the late archery season, flintlock hunting for deer, and of course, some small game hunting, but if weather
With just a few days remaining until we can put a lid on the Year 2020, we have so much to put behind us — and so much to look forward to! No matter which way you lean in politics, and without trying to open up a political debate, I believe everyone is very happy
The holidays are usually a time full of our favorite seasonal favorite foods – and lots of them. For those with health and wellness goals, navigating through the holiday season and holiday food may be overwhelming. However, there is hope with the help of a few simple tips and techniques: Mindful Eating Mindful eating is
If ever we would want a year to end, 2020 is the year. Even Stephen King would not have been able to imagine such a hodgepodge of disasters coming one after the other; a presidential impeachment (remember that?), a pandemic, city riots, an undercount census, major event cancellations, massive economic, social and educational shutdowns, travel
Major League Baseball took a welcome and long overdue action two weeks after recognizing the Negro Leagues (1920-1948) and confer on them Major League status. This was a step to right a historical wrong that denied some of the best baseball players in history the opportunity to showcase their awesome talents only because they had
A very Merry Christmas and Joyous Holiday Season to all! “For God so loved the world he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. This should bring joy to your heart, a smile to your face, and provide you inner peace. This
Well y’all. I did it! I managed to finish all my shopping! Wrapping is in the works, groceries are on the schedule and if you believe ANY of that you are crazy! Snowmageddon threw a wrench in the plans and the ‘Rona ain’t helping things either, and that batch of sauce that I somehow overcooked
Regardless of your religious, or non-religious, persuasion, at this very special time of the year I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Mercifully, the final days of 2020 — a year we would all like to forget — are drawing to a close. As we will soon flip the calendar to 2021, it is
As yet another year comes to a close; it is a good time to reflect on all of the various things that have affected our lives and the world around us — the good, the bad and the ugly. While I don’t like to focus on negative, it is important that we recognize that there
It’s not just gift-gifting season; it’s also wrapping paper season! And with more time on my hands than in Christmases past, I’ve been putting a bit more thought and style into present presentation. Instead of buying holiday-themed gift bags in bulk, I’ve decided to put my seasonal craftiness (which is limited) to the test by
Last week I wrote about deer hunting success with a first-time hunter, but this week I want to explore what happened with some of the female hunters in my life. Yes, my dear wife tagged an antlerless deer last week, and I’m sure there are a lot more men these days who are seeing their
Governor Wolf tested positive for COVID, and it illustrates two things very clearly; the shutdowns don’t work, and the shutdowns need to be made stricter. The simple truth is that yet again; we can look at a cup of water and see it half empty and half full at the same time. I would not
This story is both the hardest and easiest story that I have ever written. Last week, my father, Lou Hunsinger Sr., died after a long illness. Thankfully he did not suffer. It is difficult to adequately express what he meant to my family, me, and his community. My dad was an unabashed American patriot who
We are extremely blessed to live in North Central Pennsylvania. It provides us with a number of terrific fishing opportunities. My lovely bride would say that I am somewhat possessed. BUT IT IS FREEZING. Believe it or not, this is my favorite time of year to fish. Although the days are short and there’s a
It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! As I’m in agreement with Andy Williams and his Christmas carol classic. Therefore, I’ll hold off on talking about anything that is politics, pandemic, or Governor Wolf’s complete poppycock that’s playing out each and every day. Hopefully, I get a new Louisville Slugger pen for Christmas to
Maybe someday I will be ready for Christmas like a normal person. But I gotta tell you. It ain’t gonna be this year. I wonder if we could spare one of the elves from the Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships Coloring Contest to go do my shopping, wrapping, and baking for me? Let’s face it; Tinsel
Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, the aim to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 2,100 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad. Locally, this is being coordinated by the Blue Star Mothers of
Now that the regular firearms deer season has ended, the stories of success and of failure are a frequent part of deer hunting enthusiasts’ conversations. It usually doesn’t take long for the “devices” to come out, and photos of successful hunts are passed around for everyone to see. Many of those photos include first-time hunters.
With a scant one week of shopping days left until the arrival of Christmas morning, we need to take a serious look at a couple of great ideas for that hard-to-buy-for sportsman on your gift-giving list. The ideas will include items that I have used and found to be highly useful and handy for any
When it comes to your everyday skincare routine, you probably have your go-to products down pat. However, as we roll into the colder, dryer, and darker days of winter, it may be a good time to check in on the easily overlooked skin of the under eye. For those of us lacking in a regime
Music continues at the Uptown Music Collective! The Collective’s winter enrollment week begins on December 14th and runs until December 19th, 2020. Enrollment is open for both in-person and virtual private lessons on Guitar, Vocals, Bass, Keyboards, and Drums. The Winter Semester will begin on January 11th, 2021, and will run for 15 weeks. The
These girls took a major blow when the spring season was cancelled. They were registered for the EPYSA (Eastern Pa Youth Soccer Association) outdoor state cup and regular league play in EDP (Elite Development Program) based in Philly and NJ. When everything shut down they moved into virtual and independent skills and workouts. They developed
When you see your doctor for an annual checkup, they’ll want to know details not only about you but your family as well — including if your family has a history of cancer. This information can help your doctor paint a clearer picture of health risks due to your family’s health history. The problem is
I recently had a conversation with several people about the uptick of COVID cases in Lycoming County; one person stated that they had heard the Lycoming County Courthouse was closing down completely. Another added with absolute certainty that the UPMC Hospital was at capacity in their Intensive Care Units. It is exactly for reasons such
This year continues to be a bad year for baseball players I admired in my youth. The latest sadness comes with the news last week of the death of feared baseball slugger Dick Allen, who had an outstanding 11-year major league career and who once played here in Williamsport for the Grays in 1962. His
Rep. Jeff Wheeland (R-Lycoming) has reintroduced House Bill 1579, legislation to apply voter ID requirements to each and every election, including photo and non-photo options as acceptable forms of ID. “Due to allegations of fraud that may have taken place during the 2020 election, which has millions of Pennsylvanians questioning the security of their vote,
My phone dinged at 4:05 p.m. It was a short and sweet text message from my lovely bride. She simply asked if I had heard the news. I had no idea what she was talking about so I pleaded the fifth. Seconds later I received a call from one of my favorite players. He wanted
While enjoying moments of offensive glory, including scoring the winning points in a playoff game at Canton, South Williamsport’s Brandon Gantz’s three-sport athletic career was highlighted by his defensive performances as a linebacker and infielder for Mountaineer teams. These days, Gantz’s defensive attributes are employed at a much higher level as a member of the
Tip of my Webb Weekly orange hunting hat with the American Flag on the side to Head Coach Tom Gravish and his Jersey Shore Bulldogs. Believe me; there will be more trips in the future to Hershey Park Stadium for the Black and Orange. A tough loss in the State Championship game to perennial-power Thomas
Well, well, well — if it isn’t Christmas sneaking up on me once again. Every year I swear I am going to start early and get everything done and just enjoy the season. Consider this year yet another fail. I’ve bought like one Christmas present, haven’t gotten a tree yet, and haven’t dug out the
