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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 –
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
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
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
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
Happy 244th birthday to the United States of America! We the People need to celebrate our Independence Day and all the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into making our Nation the light of liberty that shines around the world. The United States of America is the greatest example of freedom and democracy at
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! Congratulations to Donna Chapman of Williamsport! Donna is the winner of a grill from Elery Nau Hardware in Montoursville, along with $50 gift cards to both Frosty Beverage of
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,
For all of us who enjoy the out of doors and watching nature at its best, springtime and early summer are wonderful seasons to observe some of the greatest moments in the world of wildlife. It is the time of year when all manners of birds and mammals give birth and nurture their young —
The Northern Snakehead; another story about snakes again this week? No, the Northern Snakehead isn’t a snake- it’s a fish. First, let’s look at a little biology regarding the snakehead. The Northern Snakehead isn’t native to the United States; therefore, it is considered an invasive species. It’s a freshwater fish that can reach lengths of
The phrase “summer sweaters” may seem counterintuitive, if not a bit ridiculous, with the days growing longer and temperatures rising as we head toward the 4th of July. However, with air conditioning and breezy summer nights, it’s not a bad idea to keep a lightweight knit on hand to combat summer goosebumps. Plus, by incorporating
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
By Wenzhuan He, MD Neurologist, UPMC Stroke is also referred to as a brain attack. A stroke occurs every 40 seconds in the U.S. and it’s the leading cause of long-term disability. If detected early and with proper treatment, there’s a better chance of survival and less long-term effects. There are two type of stroke,
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
Two of summer’s ‘old wives’ tales’ proclaim ‘the corn is knee-high by the Fourth of July’ and ‘the MLB teams in first place on the nation’s birthday will be there at the end of the season.’ The corn may make it, but you can forget the other. After all too many months of haggling, MLB
Absolutely no man deserves to die like George Floyd did. An absolute despicable act perpetrated by a completely evil individual. The complete disregard for humanity, callousness, and arrogance as Officer Derek Chauvin executed this poor man as he knew the world around him was watching. A truly demonic act. This made more unthinkable by the
? Y’all. I’m starting to get bored. I know, I know, “starting?” One of the advantages of having an essential job during a global pandemic is that I have been getting out every day to go to work, see the customers I was able to, and felt good making my weekly grocery store trips. But
Elm Park Softball Complex Is Back Bigger and Better Than Ever For over 50 years, Williamsport’s Elm Park Complex has been synonymous with the best of amateur softball, both slow and fastpitch. After a few rough, down years, the complex is back — bigger than ever — under the auspices of the Lycoming Softball Association,
I think summer is finally here and with the warmer temperatures we are also faced with frequent grass mowing and in my case plenty of weeds, but it is also the season for surprise visits by a number of different creeping, crawling and slithering critters. For example, last week I looked out front and noticed
