As white jeans are to summer, so are black jeans to winter. Just as versatile as your classic blue denim, bold black jeans are a chicer, but just as functional, option during the colder months. Black jeans can be dressed up, down, and even worn to work. Depending on the fit, they can be layered
The Susquehanna Valley Shutterbugs have set the opening night reception for their 26th Annual “Unrestricted” Photography Show for Friday, February 7, 2020 at the Thomas Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society in Williamsport from 6 to 8 p.m. The public is invited to come and vote for their favorite photographs while enjoying wine,
You may have heard someone say they can tell when a storm is coming because they felt achy in their joints. For many who suffer from arthritis or other inflammatory conditions, cold weather can wreak havoc on already vulnerable parts of your body. It’s common to blame joint pain flare-ups on changes in the weather,
On Saturday, January 25th, for the first time in its fourteen-year history of presenting student performances in the 2200 seat theater, the Uptown Music Collective sold out the Community Arts Center. The show was Captain Fantastic and The Piano Man: The Music of Elton John and Billy Joel. “We had seen the ticket sales rising,
The other day at my “branch office” (Dunkin), the topic of dead animals on our roadways came up-yes, it’s true we do have some very heady and in-depth discussions from time to time. I’ll admit, that out of sheer boredom I suppose, I sometimes count and try to identify the dead animals littered along our
It was with great sadness last week when it was learned that two of the “Baggy Pants Boys of 1939,” Bill Bair and Al “Sonny” Yearick had died. They were two of the thinning ranks of the boys who played on those first three Little League teams 81 years ago. Bill and Al were two
In the last installment, we laid out the steps in making a Management Plan. We itemized setting goals, doing a property inventory and seeking the advice of conservations organizations and governmental agencies. Now let’s look at implementing that plan. First, always keep in mind that the plan is a guideline – it is not set
Congratulations to Summer McNulty on scoring her 1,000th point for the Loyalsock Lady Lancers. Summer’s brother Chase and my son Hunter are good friends and graduated in the same class. They played a lot of baseball together, both for the school and travel teams. Summer was the little sister that had to tag along to
The first Super Bowl I remember watching was Super Bowl XXIV in 1990. It was the 49ers versus the Denver Broncos at the Superdome in New Orleans. Admittedly, I’ve never been a huge football fan, but I remember watching this game because, for whatever reason, my mom has always been a Broncos’ fan and was
I genuinely believe there are two sides to every story. Rumors and speculations are everywhere, and I usually refrain from commenting online. There are several buzzes within our local community. I have no comment with regards to Myrtle. What a mess. But I would like to chime in on a situation that I am close
In the wisdom of the National Football League, what might be commonly referred to in English speaking countries as the 54th playing of their championship game is instead labeled by Roman Numerals as Super Bowl LIV. In case you are wondering, the NFL adopted the Roman Numerals usage to clarify any confusion that might occur
Jazz is considered the one unique contribution that the United States has brought to the world of music. It combines chords into note clusters that are put together in note sequences and then matched in rhythms, which becomes the music’s beat produced in repeating patterns. In other words, jazz sounds random, but actually there is
As we put away holiday decorations and look toward the coming year (and decade) ahead, you may be thinking it’s time for a closet cleanout. And you would be right! Since you’re stuck indoors anyway, why not tackle those ever-expanding dresser drawers and wardrobes. If you’re a veteran closet cleaner like me, then you probably
As the grip of Mother Nature begins to tighten and the doldrums of winter weather start to make us wonder what we can do to get through the coming cold weather months, there is an outstanding plan that we can work on that will help take our minds off the freezing weather. And, it is
You may associate the cold weather with being sick or catching a cold. The truth is, the weather is not directly responsible for making you sick, but it can affect your body. The Common Cold According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), millions of people in the U.S. develop the common cold
I guess it’s a sign that I’m getting older, or maybe I am old, and I’m just beginning to realize it, but it seems like change comes more frequently these days. Some changes may be good, some changes may not be so good, and some may be irrelevant. Of course, as an outdoor writer and
It was great to hear from so many about last week’s column, “A Politically Balanced Upbringing.” I always enjoy hearing stories about my Father, but thank you to all that reached out about my Grandfather, Pappy Maietta. Through my conversations, I even uncovered some old photos of the Newberry Diner and Lycoming Sales and Leasing.
Y’all know how much I love to write about fun things going on in the area. I loathe when people try to tell me there is nothing to do in this town. And you know that my response to that is, “if you can’t find something to do in the area, you aren’t looking very
The mission of the Community Arts Center is to contribute to our communities through Artistic experiences and creative Collaborations. One of our primary principals is to assure that “Our programming will be appropriate to the diverse interests and educational needs of our regional audience and positioned to assure accessibility to all”. Our Educational Series is an
It has been more than a week, and I am still buzzing. Actually, the entire hoops community is. What transpired in the Catholic Community Center last Sunday might never be duplicated. It was an amazing atmosphere, both teams played well, and I had the best seat to witness. The Loyalsock Lancers prevailed as they defeated
There is a theory in psychology about first impressions that has been popularized by Malcolm Gladwell in his book, Blink: the Power of Thinking Without Thinking. It is a little bit misleading because this process does involve thinking, just not the way we generally think about thinking. This theory postulates that our initial impressions are
With increasing regularity over the past decade or more, landowners are rolling up their sleeves, digging out their wallets and putting sweat equity into their properties by performing habitat improvement that benefits all forms of game and nongame animals and birds that live there. Very quickly you can amass a rather large amount of dollars
Boots are a ubiquitous part of winter. Whether it’s snow-boots and sweats for shoveling the driveway, knee-high boots worn over skinny jeans for a night out, or duck-boots peeking out from under dress pants as you commute to the office, wearing boots is more often a functional rather than fashionable choice during these colder months.
The rest of the “frozen chosen” and I are still looking forward to some ice fishing, but the up and down temperatures are delaying our ventures out onto local lakes. I still hope to get on the ice in the next two or three weeks, but you can bet that safety concerns come first. Certainly,
If you love baseball, the ballroom of the Genetti Hotel in downtown Williamsport was the place to be on Wednesday, January 15. Attendees were regaled with baseball talk from such luminaries as legendary Phillies slugger Greg ‘the Bull’ Luzinski, Phillies Assistant General Manager, Bryan Minniti, ESPN commentator, Tim Kurkjian and Cutters’ manager, Pat Borders, as
Pin trading as a hobby has mushroomed in recent years, particularly here in Williamsport, the home of the Little League World Series, where the opportunity to obtain and trade pins of various types is greatly enhanced. A large event celebrating this hobby, called the “Williamsport Winter Classic” will take place January 24 to 26 at
No doubt about it, for better or for worse, a good scandal will draw attention, heighten people’s interest, and keep tongues wagging. In the doldrums of January on the day of the NCAA National Football Championship game and days before the NFL determined its participants for the February 2 Super Bowl, Major League Baseball crashed
For those of you that are new to reading my column or maybe those that have forgotten my political roots, I thought it would be a good time to discuss this. My Father was an ultra-Conservative Republican but never had a problem letting the Republican Party know when there was a problem. He was a
According to the Red Cross, “National Blood Donor Month has been observed in January since 1970 with the goal of increasing blood and platelet donations during winter — one of the most difficult times of year to collect enough blood products to meet patient needs. During the winter months, inclement weather often results in cancelled
Just in case you have procrastinated a bit — not to worry — there is still time to make our traditional New Year’s Resolutions — you know — that list of things we know we should follow, but rarely seem to accomplish! As sportsmen, we have some special considerations that we should consider as we
