For many of us, healthy, thick hair can be elusive. As we get older, hair growth tends to slow, and the remaining hair starts to thin out. Hair tends to dry out as we go about our busy days. There are a variety of over the counter, as well as prescription, treatments to promote hair
There’s no better time of year to get out and about and enjoy all the outdoors have to offer in our little neck of Penn’s Woods. And yes, my title is from Luke Bryan’s hit song. The lyric pretty much sums up how so many of us feel and only wish we had more time
It’s officially fall, which means I have gone completely into stay home and cook mode. I made goulash this week and have chili on my mind for this weekend (well last weekend for y’all). The chillier weather just makes me crave comfort food. Pasta, soups and stews, I can’t resist any of it, and it’s
Appreciation of the U.S. Armed Forces will take front and center at the 168th edition of the Bloomsburg Fair when Military Appreciation Day is held at the Fair on Wednesday, September 27. This day will include a variety of things that help to honor former and present military personnel, including free admission, various booths of
From our 45-yard line seats six rows from the top of massive AT&T Stadium, we were among the 80,000 Cowboy faithful reveling in the proceedings below. “America’s Team” was in the process of grounding the invading New York Jets in the team’s home opener in an impressive Micah Parsons-led dominant performance. While white Cowboy rally
Protecting Pennsylvania’s deer and elk from Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) remains a priority, now as ever. That hasn’t changed. But the rules for hunters who harvest those or any other cervids outside of Pennsylvania or within parts of it have. Previously, hunters were prohibited from bringing “high-risk” carcass parts from such animals taken in other
Disclaimer. We are a weekly publication. My articles are submitted on Friday mornings. I do my best to hit these extended deadlines. The paper is usually done and everything is ready to be sent to the printers. My lovely editor is often waiting for Sporting Matters by Jamie Spencer. I will occasionally leave her hanging.
The various deer seasons are fast approaching, and for many of us, with the exception of squirrel hunting, a deer hunt was probably our first big hunt. Certainly, a deer hunt is an exciting way to get involved in the Pennsylvania hunting scene, but a fall turkey hunt has a lot to be desired as
It’s hard to believe, but another archery season is about to get underway, and as usual, I never feel prepared. In years past, I did a lot of pre-season scouting, but like many other hunters, it seems like our busy schedules have made sufficient scouting more difficult. Fortunately, however, a lot of us have a
The ever-shortening days and the cooler temperatures are clear indicators that we have finally entered the fall season. With that come the various hunting opportunities within our state. Sure, many hunters daydream about hearing a bull elk bugle across a mountain meadow in the Rocky Mountains or pursuing big game in the great state of
One of the sensations of the current college football season has been the performance of the Colorado Buffalos team, which has had several poor seasons lately. This year, they have jumped out to a 3-0 start. Their head coach is the flamboyant Deion Sanders, who may have been one of the best and most versatile
Williamsport Area High School senior Sam Radulski has been named a Commended Student in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®), which conducts the program, was presented by Head Principal Dr. Justin Ross to this scholastically talented senior. About 34,000 Commended Students throughout
Our hearts are amazing organs, and we can often take them for granted. They steadily pump away, rhythmically beating life into our bodies. But what happens when your heartbeat becomes irregular, erratic, or even skips a beat? These incidents are called heart palpitations, and for most people, heart palpitations are a once-in-a-blue-moon occurrence. However, some
Ever notice how drivers automatically slow down when they see a police car, even if it is on the opposite side of the road? Or how we barely notice people who walk by us on the street, but when a police officer walks by, we become very aware that they are there. Engaging a police
There is a 28-year age difference between myself and my mother, but despite the generational divide, we tend to gravitate toward similar items because true style knows no age or age limit. We also both love fall, and are always happy to welcome back sweater weather. Here are the five trends we’re both eyeing up
Roll the windows down, enjoy the scenery and breathe in the fresh air. The Pennsylvania Game Commission’s driving tours through state game lands are just up the road. Eight tours are scheduled throughout the state in 2023, the first of which will be held Sunday, Oct. 1. The tours provide a good example of the
Over the years, I have had the good fortune to have taken several black bears and one grizzly. The grizzly came as a bonus on a Dall sheep hunt in Alaska, and the black bear hunts took place in Pennsylvania and Idaho. Now, I was hoping to hunt for black bear where the chance of
There are often a lot of jokes to be made about living in a small town. Some ‘big city folk’ think there is nothing to be said for living in a small town. I disagree. Community. Community is to be said for a small town. Support for the people you live with, even if you
What happens when a horse or other large animal is abused, or the owner can no longer take care of it? What happens in the event a traveler is transporting large animals, and the trailer or towing vehicle is disabled? The answer most often lies with the folks at Appalachian Horse Help Rescue at 1201
The cost of life-saving and safety equipment by local government entities can often be burdensome for them, so when public-spirited companies opt to donate money toward the costs of these items, it proves to be a welcome thing. That was the case when Pennsylvania Gas and Electric Company recently donated $1,000 toward the costs of
September is National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month and it’s important to not shy away from conversations about one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. In 2021, almost 50,000 deaths in the United States were due to suicide. Attempts and thoughts about suicide have even higher numbers; 12.3 million American adults thought
As a member of the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company, I help out on the 9/11 Ride each year, doing whatever needs to be done. The ride actually begins at 6:00 p.m., but our volunteer members are there as early as 7:00 a.m. to set up the barricades, prepare for the vendors, etc. The riders
The North Maine Woods (NMW) has, for a long time, been a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. It encompasses over 3.5 million acres and is visited by over 100,000 travelers each year. Within the northernmost tip of the NMW lies Aroostook County, and within this county is the area of some 84,000 acres known as
Fall is just about here, friends; sure, we still have a few weeks of semi-sweltering heat left, but autumnal winds are slowly blowing in. To me, the principal manner of dressing when it comes to fall is to layer well. While you probably already have a slew of traditional layering basics like long-sleeve shirts and
Unfortunately, CWD has not gone away, and in fact, it continues to expand its boundaries in our state. Prions, the infectious agent that causes a neurological disease, is always fatal. Prions are shed through saliva, urine, and feces. What’s a little unsettling is the fact that animals with CWD may not show any clinical signs
Jersey Shore is a close-knit community. She always was. The area residents have responded when they found out. The Engle family needed some major love. Much has been done to praise Senior Bulldog Max. The support is overwhelming. Many other area school districts have also stepped up. I loved seeing all of the tributes and
As stadium monikers go Lycoming College’s Robert L. Shangraw Athletic Complex, Person Field, Coach Frank Girardi Stadium is quite a mouthful. But the latest name to be honored at its Union Avenue address was added before the beloved coach’s family, friends, and a few hundred of his former players during pre-game ceremonies at the Warriors’
As most of you who read my column regularly know — I love to use musical references and lyrics occasionally. As we have quietly been celebrating our 20th year of publishing the Webb Weekly, The Steve Miller Band seemed to hit it right on the nose with the words — time keeps on slipping, slipping,
I had never considered myself to be a dog person. Not that I was anti-dog or anything; I just didn’t think they were for me. I was always a cat lady (and still am!). When Steve started talking about getting a dog four-ish years ago, I was a little hesitant. But I figured I’d be
If you are a car enthusiast, then Saturday, September 16 is just the day for you, for on that day, three major car shows will take place not more than a few miles from each other in the Muncy area. These are the “Corvettes on Main Street” that takes place in Muncy, put on by
It’s that time of year again. Everyone is getting back in the swing of things with school starting. Your child might be due for a check-up at the doctor’s office as well. This annual check-up is a great way to check in and see how your child’s health is developing. Usual topics of discussion include
“Encores” is the Williamsport version of New Horizons Band, an international organization offering “entry points to music-making for adults, including those with no musical experience.” That’s from the NHB mission statement, which also invites older folks who once played an instrument but haven’t done so since they were young. And it even covers those who
So, three years ago I decided to join ‘The Great Cycling Challenge for Kids with Cancer.’ I have long contributed to St. Jude’s ever since I met Angelina Miele — who loved SJN basketball when I was coaching, and in particular Alize Johnson, Angelina sadly passed away from this insidious disease. My heart aches to
