Personal appearance is just that, personal. With all the personal time we’ve had on our hands during the pandemic, we may be rethinking what appearance means when no one is there to see us. Of course, as salons and gyms have now re-opened, you may be starting to feel and look like your pre-quarantine self.
The James V. Brown Library is joining others libraries around the globe in encouraging patrons to read a historical fiction thriller e-book and audiobook during Big Library Read, the world’s largest digital book club. From August 3-17, readers can borrow and read Tim Mason’s “intellectually stimulating and viscerally exciting” The Darwin Affair from their public
I often write how blessed we are to call the West Branch Valley our home. This is true for so many more reasons than I could ever cover in one column. If you love the outdoors, nature, and the beauty of God’s green Earth, there is no place like home. With all that’s going on
I am absolutely terrible at keeping plants alive. I’ve killed the unkillable. Even air plants have lost their lives under my watch. It’s almost comical. But for some reason, I keep trying. And, y’all, I’ve to tell you, I think I may finally have a handle on it! I currently have three houseplants that are
A few weeks back, I wrote a piece about some of the wild critters that walk, crawl, and slither through my backyard. Such sightings are not at all unusual, especially for those of us who live in the country surrounded by fields, hedgerows, and forests. Of course, Deer are frequent visitors, but bears, turkeys, coyotes,
Your summer vacation this year is probably not shaping up as planned. While there’s always been health issues and risks associated with traveling, this summer, one of the biggest risks is acquiring or transmitting COVID-19. As you find new and different ways to enjoy your summer break and get away from your normal routine, here
Now that the 2020-2021 hunting season licenses are available for purchase, it’s a good time to review the Hunting and Trapping Digest and become familiar with new regulations and the upcoming seasons and bag limits. Reminder — if you have not yet done so, you can still submit an application for an antlerless deer license
Charles “Bob” Kieffer had a strong love for children. For many years he served as the Sunday School Superintendent at the Delaware Run Wesleyan Church and referred to the children as “his little buddies.” He and his wife, Brenda, served and cared for and loved children. When he died in 1998, members of the church
In between hot dogs, hamburgers, and the other goodies comprising a Fourth of July picnic fare, the competitive sound of cheering and laughter surrounded afternoon-long games of what today is called ‘corn hole.’ As the light colorful bags were tossed back and forth aimed at the target holes, a thought hit me wondering if our
The Corona Virus has affected all our lifestyles, but it does not need to affect our livelihoods. For the past twenty years, Susquehanna Computer Innovations has provided cutting-edge tech service and solutions for small to medium sized businesses, manufacturing, government, health care, and public safety organizations. The current pandemic has highlighted one area of support
The battle to control chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Pennsylvania is expanding into new areas. The Pennsylvania Game Commission maintains three Disease Management Areas across the state to control CWD. They are geographic regions featuring special rules for hunters and the general public meant to slow the disease’s spread while increasing chances of detecting it.
Even though they are a major pain, masks have become a part of daily life, and there may even come a day when we’ll all be used to wearing them, but that day is not soon. Yes, face masks are awkward and uncomfortable, but they are also essential, and, with a little creativity, they can
Those of us in the senior citizen age range remember well the “Lone Ranger” television show. An ultra-nice itinerant defender of the law with his faithful Indian (Native American) sidekick Tonto, he wore a mask for reasons that, quite frankly, were never exactly clear. Everyone knew it was the Lone Ranger the moment they saw
This recent hot streak and lack of rain have put the damper on some fishing efforts; trout streams are very low, clear, and warm, making them less than ideal targets right now. Several people have commented to me that it’s too hot and muggy to do any kind of fishing — not so! Remember, I’m
It’s great to see the Hiawatha back on the water. Now for one of those things that you lose track of in life that is going to make a lot of you out there feel old. The majestic replica of an old-time river paddleboat has been cruising up and back down the Susquehanna for nearly
The 4th of July may be behind us, but thanks to the Big Rona, summer picnic season is just getting started. But the question always is — what to bring! I always feel a little bad if I don’t bring something and not everyone appreciates a cooler full of White Claws, so here are a
For almost 40 years, the Hiawatha Riverboat has been plying the local waters of the Susquehanna River from its home at Susquehanna State Park in the city’s west end. The pleasure cruises of this fine craft were in doubt for a while this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, Hiawatha officials from River Valley
Facials can bring about the best in your skin and help treat various conditions. Few things beat the pampering of a professional facial spa treatment — a luxury that many men and women afford themselves when possible. However, lately people have had to look elsewhere for popular beauty services. Data from the Simmons National Consumer
Most everyone is familiar with the legacy of Carl Stotz and his dream. What began in 1939 as a place for his nephews to play organized baseball turned in to what is now Little League Baseball, the world’s largest youth program. But even in its 81st year, Little League is not the elder in the
The Spencers just got back from their summer vacation. We decided to play it safe this year because of COVID. Teach, Jensen, and I normally meet up with my rents somewhere exotic. Grandpa Jim usually picks up the tab. The original plan was to spend a week in the Black Hills of South Dakota. My
T-shirts and jeans are American classics that go hand-in-hand. Pairing a cotton tee with just the right amount of “lived-in” quality and a timeless pair of comfortable jeans is the sartorial equivalent of peanut butter and jelly. However, like that school day lunchtime staple, as women age, they may no longer feel it’s appropriate to
I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I enjoy bass fishing. Like a lot of other dedicated bass fishermen, I too have my fair share of assorted rods, reels, and lures that I regularly employ on my bass outings. Many serious bass fishermen use different outfits and lures to address the many different situations
There is an axiom in journalism that says, “if it bleeds, it leads.” I complained about this to one of my English professors in college, and he rebutted that covering a plane crash is news, one that lands safely is not. But given the amount of turmoil over the past four to five months, I
From as early as I can remember, my Mom would often serve the family tuna salad, and frequently tuna noodle casserole. They were not expensive meals to prepare, nor were they too time consuming to make. Until recently, I have continued to enjoy both of these meals using tuna fish as the main ingredient –
As the temperatures climb and the sun is shining, outdoor activities are excellent ways to get the physical activity and health benefits needed for a healthy life. Whether it’s swimming, hiking, biking, or just going to the playground, your children want to be on the move as the weather warms up. As they get more
Happy 244th birthday to the United States of America!

Happy 4th of July! Before we get started with anything else, I first want to congratulate our winner of the Webb Weekly Great American Cookout giveaway!

4th of July Celebration to Be Held At Lycoming County Fairgrounds Founding Father and second American President, John Adams wrote that Independence Day should be celebrated with “pomp, parade, illumination, and fireworks,” and that tradition will continue locally when the 25th annual “Set the Night To Music” fireworks display and celebration will again be held,
On Friday, June 19, 2020 the residents of Ashler Manor’s Group Home and Life Readiness program attended an all-girls prom on campus at the campus Activities Center, escorted by the Mayor of Williamsport and local police officers. This year, the girls were escorted to the prom by two Lycoming County Sheriff deputies, Chris Warden and
This year is the 50th anniversary of what stands out as one of the more bizarre events in American history. It is best described as the “Exploding Whale” story. In November of 1970, a 45-foot, eight-ton whale washed up on a beach off the coastal city of Florence, Oregon. For this community of 9,000 or
