I would argue it’s easier to be chic as you age. At least it’s been so for me, but maybe that’s because I’m just too tired to keep up with all the latest trends. Instead, I find myself gravitating toward a more classic style as I’ve gotten older. Classic is key to a chic look
Some terms, like fashions, go out of style. One of those terms is “public servant.” Once upon a time, an individual who worked for the government would generally have to make significant sacrifices. But over the past decades with the emergence of unionization and increased benefits, the term that is more often used today is
While thoughts of spring activities are slowly beginning to creep into my mind I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to hunt rabbits when George Burgett called me last week. A late season rabbit hunt is something we’ve been doing for quite a few years now with varying degrees of success but this year proved to
Imagine that your son or daughter has shown enough interest in hunting for deer this coming fall that they have completed the required hunter education program and have shown interest in going to the range with you to really learn how to safely handle a firearm. You take the time to spend several weekends doing
If you worry that you or someone you love will get heart disease or even have a heart attack, it’s understandable. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Research shows you can lower your risk, particularly
Well, it’s hard to believe that our 12th Annual Uncle Ron’s Monster Buck Contest is in the books. The Steve Miller Band was definitely on point with the lyrics, “time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future.” This from their all-time monster hit “Fly Like an Eagle.” Appropriately, the song was released in our
I don’t normally like to do recipes two weeks in a row. But I’m making an exception. Wanna know why? Because this recipe made the whole family happy, and I just have to share it! So, this is what happened, right? Last Tuesday I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner. It’s
Educating students these days can be a challenging and complex thing. One entity that is helping area schools to meet these challenges with technical and various other types of support is the BLaST Intermediate Unit 17. BLaST IU 17 is one of 29 Intermediate Units (IUs) across the Commonwealth. IUs were created in 1971 as
I swung by to catch up with a few retired chums. It was totally random and unannounced. We sipped coffee, talked some hoops, and inquired about direct flights to Charlotte. It was a very interesting conversation. It always is. I love hearing from my older and wiser friends. I simply missed them. One who I
The season of Lent is upon us again, and with it comes the opportunity to reassess our goals and intentions for this unfolding year. Of course, that can be quite a tall order, and maybe you just want to take a more simplistic, traditional approach to Lent but aren’t sure where to start. Here are
The Lycoming County Commissioners are moving toward selling off portions of the White Deer Golf Course area but have recently discovered a governmental glitch. It seems that due to a condition that came with receiving federal funds for the purchase of the property decades ago prevents it from being used for anything but recreational use.
When it comes to fishing, the yellow perch doesn’t seem to get much attention; it’s probably not the most talked-about species, and it certainly doesn’t get a lot of attention in the written form either. While it doesn’t get a lot of attention, it is a frequently caught fish and, in some cases, one of
When you are pregnant, you probably notice the fatigue, shortness of breath, and light-headedness that can sometimes overcome you. Did you know that these symptoms are caused by changes in your heart and blood vessels? To ensure your baby gets enough oxygen and nutrients, your heart and vessels undergo some changes that may require your
It wasn’t a big deal, and at the time, and its action didn’t receive much national attention in the baseball world. Yet, that December 1, 2017 decision by the Houston Astros to non-tendered pitcher Mike Fiers, making him a free agent, may long live as a significant footnote in baseball history as the beginning of
It is great to see Spring Training in full swing in both Florida and Arizona. The first exhibition games from both the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues can be viewed on TV. The Boys of Summer can mean just one thing — spring is just around the corner. This time of year always gets me thinking
Y’all. This is a rough time of year. Valentine’s has passed and it’s still a good bit until St. Patrick’s Day and spring. However, the cold, dark, dreary days and nights are a perfect excuse to stay inside and enjoy some comfort food! I’ve been trying to leave the recipes to our resident expert, Andrea,
Derek Slaughter might win the prize for being one of the most unique young mayors in the United States. Most people his age who find themselves mayor of a well-known third-class city would have been immersed in politics since their early years. They would have come from a ‘name’ family that had long been in
In covering the weekly County Commissioners Meetings these past five years, much of the action is rudimentary administrative actions. Still, at least once a month, time is set aside in the meeting to acknowledge employees for their time of service or when they have done something special that deserves recognition. The Thursday, February 6th meeting
If you’re anything like me, you’re probably sick of all of your winter clothes by mid-February. Lately, I find myself wearing the same old boring turtleneck/jean/boot combo. While you may be feeling outfit fatigue as we edge toward spring, you may also be reluctant to go shopping for wardrobe updates. Who has the time to
With the exception of some small game hunting and some predator hunting, our hunting is about over for a while. True, we can still get in some squirrel, rabbit, and pheasant hunting until the 29th of the month as well as some good coyote hunting throughout the remainder of the winter, but for most of
Hunters are the “salt of the earth.” Unfortunately, the ones who usually make the news are the occasional slob hunter or poacher. They are the ones who seem to be talked about most often, especially by those who hold some degree of opposition to hunting in general and usually know little about the subject or
There are several rare, life-threatening diseases and disorders that exist, and one of the most vexing and rare is a genetic disorder called “Wolfram Syndrome.” It is extremely rare — it affects 1 in 500,000 people, but unfortunately, one of them is here in Lycoming County — 11-year old Danny Flexer IV. He is the
Urgent care. Emergency department. Extended hours. Walk-in appointments. With more ways than ever to access medical care, we have created greater consumer choice – and greater confusion. How do you know which choice is right for you and your family? Clear up the confusion with this helpful comparison: Emergency Care If it’s a health emergency,
This month, of course, is Black History in which we celebrate the contributions and history of African-Americans. This month is also the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Negro leagues in baseball. One former Williamsporter was a part of that history. Frank Albert “Fay” Young is not a household name, but perhaps this remarkable
The local boys’ and girls’ hoops seasons are coming to a close. Area teams are now shifting gears and getting prepared to make a run. I was very impressed with the many games that I saw. Lycoming County will be well represented at the state level. Props to our D4 PIAA officials for doing something
With the high school basketball season rapidly winding down, South Williamsport’s players sat despondently in a quiet locker room as their hopes for a playoff berth took another hit. Standing before them that Friday evening, the Mountaineers coach, Rob Houseknecht, stood stoically — momentarily silent. When he began to address his team, he spoke in
A very special Happy Birthday to my Great Aunt Mildred, who turns 102 years old today. Just imagine what she has seen in her lifetime since being born in 1918. She is truly a remarkably smart and tough lady who has navigated her time here on God’s green Earth with grace, but when needed, the
Y’all know I am always looking out for you. I’m of the helpful sort. So, if you haven’t found your Valentine yet, please allow me to offer up these helpful pick-up lines that are sure to help you find ‘the one’ this Valentine’s Day. • Well, here I am. What are your other two wishes?
Ryan Gardner has the physique that would make it easier to believe that he was a fitness trainer rather than a district attorney, but in some ways, he is trying to get someone into shape. Actually, not a ‘someone’ but a ‘something,’ and that something is the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office. His strong stature
It’s hard to resist the ease and affordability of fast fashion brands like Old Navy, H&M, and Zara, or the convenience of picking up a few new and needed, cheap t-shirts from Target or Walmart. But, as we look into the next decade and the important role of people as stewards of the Earth, what
