Thousands of eager on-lookers will line the streets of South Williamsport this Saturday to take in the sights, sounds and treats provided by the 73rd annual South Williamsport Mummers’ Parade. For young and old alike this community tradition is both anticipated and appreciated. For retiring South Williamsport Borough Police Chief Robert ‘Bob’ Hetner, the parade
There are some new hunting regulations set to take place this year or next year that are of particular interest to those of us who hunt deer. I’ve been following this first regulation for the past year or two, and it is now in play for Pennsylvania deer hunters starting with this fall’s archery season.
Jersey Shore is a tough, no-nonsense kind of city located in between Williamsport and Lock Haven. Its high school sports teams have a reputation for being tough and physical. The fans also have a reputation as being hard-nosed with high expectations for their teams. With all this toughness walking around representing a mascot like the
Now that a successful hunt has come to an end and there is venison hanging on the meat pole let’s take a look at doing your own butchering and processing. Hopefully, you were able to keep the meat clean and cool after making that well-placed shot, and the meat has been able to hang and
When a person is elected to local office, they quickly realize that there is a lot they do not know. Very few residents of the county recognize how much time that municipal officials spend in training. It starts with the County Commissioners who actively participate in the programs of CCAP, the County Commissioners Association of
Quickly reviewing the issue on the November ballot for Williamsport voters, two questions will be posed relating to the future of the city’s government. One is termed the “Optional Third-Class City Charter Question,” which for this series has been termed the “Council-Manager” option, and the other is termed the “Home Rule Question.” In the last
Followers of Lycoming College football may only know Steve Wiser as the sidelined defensive guru prancing up and down the Warriors bench area dressed in his familiar shorts and pullover. That is totally understandable as since 1977 he has served the college continuously as the team’s defensive coordinator. Earlier this month a coat and tie
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year if you’re passionate about getting out and hunting Penns Woods. The 11th annual Webb Weekly Monster Buck Contest is officially underway as some big bruisers have already been checked in. My favorite contest of the year will run right on through the finish of the Black Powder
Y’all know that I like to share my recipes for you. They are actually the articles that I get the most comments on. I love to hear people tell me about how they tried a recipe that I suggested. It’s almost as good as actually cooking for people. Y’all also know that I’m not a
Younger girls sometimes have a tough time wrestling with the struggles they face as adolescents. In what can be a very trying time of their lives, in which making healthy and wholesome decisions can be difficult, one local organization, Girls on the Run of the Susquehanna Valley, is aiding greatly with these challenges. Girls on
My dog has a problem and, by extension, I have a problem. Basically, he’s too high-strung and could probably benefit from psychotherapy of some sort. Don’t laugh; our vet suggested that could be arranged. I realize that small, yappy dogs are characteristically excitable and, at times, unpredictable, but Jack is ridiculously so. Anyone who has
Toothy grins and a mesmerizing orange glow help make jack-o’-lanterns captivating sights come Halloween. Pumpkin carving is an autumn tradition and runs the gamut of simple designs to more intricate artwork worthy of any medium. Although anyone can grab a pumpkin and get started, when done correctly, jack-o’-lantern designs can last for several days. •
Autumn has officially arrived, and I am so excited! Fall fashion is one of my favorite things, and each year I relish the chance to bust out plaids, tweeds, sweaters, and scarves as the heat and humidity give over to crisp and chilly days. Last year, all manner of blazers took center stage on the
On a welcomed warm October afternoon, sunny skies bathed the South Williamsport tennis courts as the Mountaineers hosted rival Montoursville with the regular season winding down. A short-sleeved crowd settled in on their lawn chairs with many spectators’ eyes affixed on court #1 where the Mounties freshman sensation Olivia Dorner was set to take-on Montoursville’s
Over the years, my side hustle has always been construction. I have worked on several construction crews and most of them kept a specialized tool on hand called an attitude adjuster. This tool is employed whenever a piece of material is stuck. The application of the tool is usually enough to get the material unstuck.
Montoursville native Vince Molesky is coming off of a spectacular summer. The former Mount St. Mary’s product continues to amaze me. He was undrafted out of a college, but fortunate enough to sign with Independent. Molesky played with the Wichita Wingnuts of the American Association in 2015. He was then traded to the Gateway Grizzlies
I must admit that I do not pursue walleyes with the same dedication that I have for trout, bass or even panfish but I do enjoy some dedicated walleye fishing on occasion. In previous years I would often travel to various locations in Canada just for the opportunity to catch walleyes and many of those
Genetic testing to discover ancestry is becoming very popular. Discovering your family history can reveal unexpected connections, new storylines, and a world of new relatives. But, there’s another benefit for some specific types of genetic testing. The genes you inherit from your biological parents can help doctors determine your cancer risk, including your risk for
Since 2007, Hope Enterprises — which provides services to individuals with intellectual disabilities — has teamed up with area first responders in Lycoming County to protect individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, autism, Down syndrome and similar conditions through Project Lifesaver®. Based in Chesapeake, Virginia, Project Lifesaver uses a radio-frequency transmitter in a bracelet and relies on
Tracking Dogs: The heavy frost on the orchard grass and the full moon above made it visible enough to make our way across the meadow, even though it was two hours before sunrise. The bulls were already bugling and, as we started into the dark timber, you could hear the soft mewing of nearby cow
Your future was laid out before. It’s all set. You have plans, and a method to execute them. Each step of your journey will progress in order, just as it’s meant to be, and any bumps in the road will be dealt with accordingly. As in “The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein” by Kiersten White,
Several weeks ago I experienced the ride of my life. Or, I should say “rides” of my life, as I dared myself to get up early on a Sunday and hitchhike as far as I comfortably could. Then try to return home (in one piece) within 24 hours using just my thumb. I’m sure your
Esther Herron, the young girl who lost her leg last June while retrieving a ball beneath a freight train, need have no fear of fire while she is in school. Tests conducted by Fire Chief Michael E. Clark and several fire captains at the Transeau building yesterday revealed that Esther’s classmates are prepared to help
One feature of the current County Commissioner board is that they are not deaf to concerns of the community. Unfortunately, being willing to listen does not necessarily mean they can do much about the problem. One of these concerns is the ongoing problems of volunteer fire companies and EMS service. In July of 2017, the
When home computers were introduced in the mid-80s, they ran on a computer operating system called DOS. The owner of a home computer was limited if they did not understand this seemingly foreign language that they had to deal with. In 1991, a small publishing company named IDB came out with a book entitled, “DOS
There’s just no easing into this cesspool, so I may as well jump right in. I cannot believe what I witnessed last Thursday as I watched the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his alleged sexual misconduct that occurred 36 years ago. As I penned this article, I was waiting for the
October brings us Breast Cancer Awareness month. Every year, as October hits, everyone from athletes, to celebrities to the clerk at the grocery store will be asking you to buy something pink, or wear something pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each year it is estimated that over 252,710 women in the United
Breast Cancer is one of the biggest and perhaps scariest health threats that women face (though some men sometimes suffer it). October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the observation of it helps to shine a light on this serious health problem. Information and understanding of breast cancer is one of the most important goals
Life can be so hectic. By the time you get home from work, make dinner, clean up from dinner, and wrangle children into the bath, then bed, the last thing you want to do is a multi-step nightly skincare routine. Once you finally have a minute to yourself, it’s easy just to grab a makeup
As October ushers in autumn, Major League Baseball’s marathon 162-game, six-month, 30-team quest for supremacy has seen 20 of its membership fall by the wayside leaving their fans with only the annual recourse of the defeated ‘wait till next year.’ For the other ten teams that made it to the finish line with varying degrees
At the regular Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting held on September 27th, three service recognition pins were awarded. Dave Bonus, from the Resource Management Services Department, received a 30-year service pin as did Karen Miller, from the Pre-Release Center. Carla Miller from the Department of Public Safety and Chris Shuck from the Prison received 20-year service
There’s no question about it, when it comes to hunting in Pennsylvania the whitetail deer is king. No other hunting in our state garners as much attention as deer hunting does and I wouldn’t be surprised it’s the same for most other states. In spite of what some may say, deer are still readily available,
The Fifth Annual Fall into the Arts Lake Fest will be held Saturday, October 6th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, October 7th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., 939 Trimble Road, Trout Run. (over-looking Rose Valley Lake) Rain or Shine. There will be a diverse group of talented fine art and fine craft artists
How often have you heard someone say that they just don’t like the taste of venison? Or, say that they have tried it once, but just didn’t care for it? No doubt it was not cooked properly, or worse yet, was not handled properly from the beginning. Over the years, I am pleased to say
It has been decades since residents of this area have faced a ballot issue as complex and confusing as the one related to the proposed changes in Williamsport city government. Some view it as a simple question, “Do I want a change in city government or not?” Oh, were it so simple. Rather, it is
Rain has soaked the area fields and teams, and given us a start to the fall season rarely seen in this area of the country. The entire run has been one big adjustment as schedules are shifted, weeks are overloaded, and field crews are putting in extra time to get games in on time. It’s
“Skeptics insist that golf is merely taking a natural dip after a once in a lifetime phenomenon. It’s no secret that golf’s heyday coincided with Tiger Wood’s rise and his 14 major championships. He is also to blame for those thousands of Craigslist ads for used clubs. But after the infidelity scandals and loads of
