Though it may not seem like it, spring has officially sprung, and soon it’ll be time to switch out your cold weather gear for warm weather apparel.

For us outdoor types, two big openers come up in April; first, the regular trout season for our part of the state opens on April 14, and then on April 28 spring gobbler season opens. Those of us who are serious about these activities don’t sit around and wait for the opening day, but rather
“A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.” How many times have you heard that little quote? Well, I don’t buy it; a better thought is, “A good day of fishing is better than a good day at work.” Yea, I know it’s nice to just be out there enjoying

Many of the hackers and duffers from all over the globe just tuned in FORE the very first major. I don’t know about you, but I find myself completely glued to the television the first weekend in April. So instead of fishing or shoveling the spring snow — I usually lock myself in the basement
Trends come and go; hence, they should be approached with caution. However, if a particular trend comes around, that falls into your wheelhouse, by all means, embrace it. For the most part, I tend to give only passing attention to trends, and rarely incorporate them into my outfit rotation, except when it comes to spring
No, the County Courthouse has not gone to the dogs, but it does have a dog, singular. His name is Jedi, and his title is Lycoming County Courthouse Facility Dog. Assigned to the Common Pleas Court of Judge Joy Reynolds McCoy, Jedi is the fulfillment of a two-year dream of Judge McCoy and her Executive
Two years ago Abby Doss was simply trying to make the transition from Lourdes Regional to Shamokin as a freshman. It was her first year in high school and Doss was just trying to balance making friends, staying on top of her studies, and practicing with the school’s swim team. It was a fully loaded
“Just the facts, Ma’am, just the facts.” That famous line often used by Sgt. Joe Friday in the decade’s old “Dragnet” television show could be being used these days by officials of the PIAA in defending the makeup of this year’s State Basketball Championships. Seemingly, the PIAA continues to operate with their heads in the
“Double your pleasure, double your fun — with Double Mint, Double Mint, Double Mint Gum!” This popular jingle was used in years past to advertise a brand of gum that remains popular to this day. Careful, if you remember this jingle, you may be giving away your age! But, “Double your pleasure, double your fun”

For some years now, the regulations for spring gobbler hunting in Pennsylvania have allowed a limit of two birds — with the purchase of a second spring tag, of course. Combine that with the possibility of more than one family member hunting these spring birds, and suddenly you may have more wild turkey meat than
Many times we will hear someone say in a disgusted fashion, “oh that’s just for the birds.” But in the case of the Lycoming Audubon Society that is literally true. According to the group’s website, “The Lycoming Audubon Society (LAS) is a chapter of the National Audubon Society, with responsibility for members in Lycoming and
Nobody likes getting ripped off. I don’t care if you got stuck with a lemon vacuum cleaner, poor roof or siding repair, or got hosed by Bernard Madoff and his fancy Ponzi scheme. It’s not one of life’s greatest experiences. It can even happen when you are young and green, as a few “snakes” showed
Play ball! How great it is to hear those words again. Hopefully, Mother Nature will flip the switch, and the weather will be more suited for the boys and girls of Summer. Before we leave March Madness in the rearview mirror, I’m sure most college basketball fans will agree it was one of the best
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), April 7th is World Health Day. WHO’s primary role is to direct and coordinate international health within the United Nations’ system.

To be honest, I haven’t fished the opening day of trout season for many years. It wasn’t always that way though; when I was a young fellow in the 60s, I wouldn’t have missed the first day for anything. Most of my first days were spent on Sinnemahoning Creek using Mike’s Lucky Seven salmon eggs.
Grit April 7, 1968 Services for King Set Here Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr. Citizens of all colors and faiths in Williamsport and countywide are invited to take part in a memorial service today and Tuesday for the late Dr. Martin Luther King, who was slain in Memphis, Tennessee Thursday evening.

On both sides, girls and boys, Lewisburg’s basketball players would say their season ended much too early as both failed to reach the PIAA Tournament. That’s not to say the seasons were entertaining and worthwhile. Both featured outstanding players, plays, and games that would have highlighted any high school team’s season. Most teams won’t be
Last week, twelve boys’ and twelve girls’ high school basketball teams converged on Hershey’s Giant Center with the same goal in mind — capturing a PIAA State Basketball Championship. It mattered little that Mother Nature’s snowy wrath had postponed the yearly hoop festival for several days causing the event to be played Monday-Wednesday, rather than
At a young age, Joe Klock wanted nothing more than to accompany his older brothers to their wrestling practice. Klock’s father Jerry gave into Joe’s wishes once he was able to find a partner more his son’s size. Klock immediately took to the sport, tossing around his training partner and gaining a quick edge.

A school community service project is yielding a fundraising event to benefit the local SPCA. “What is not to love about our precious furbabies?” That is a question John Covey asked when he came together with Aaron Bird and Griffynn Metzger to organize the first Adopt & Shoppe Craft Fair.

April Fools Day may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good laugh! In honor of this day of fools here are a few of my favorite jokes. Some are good, some bad, however, the important thing is to laugh today and every day. * Doctor: “You have a hernia.” Old man:
I think I had an April Fool’s Day trick played on myself, as I dreamed about a meeting where the three commissioners; Jack McKernan, Tony Mussare, and Rick Mirabito (the 3 Ms, as I like to call them), were asking their department heads for ideas on better ways to promote Lycoming County. I saw Kim
Franklin D. Roosevelt once made the very profound statement that every organization is either living out the birth of a new vision or the death of an old one. The truth of that is evidenced by companies such as TWA that once had a virtual monopoly on trans-oceanic air travel and yet went bankrupt, or
This past winter, my skin took a beating. It was dry, flaky, dull, and all around uneven. My regular skincare go-tos just weren’t cutting it, and the makeup I put on to hide it all ended up exacerbating the problems. Turns out, I wasn’t “prepping” my skin properly for cosmetics, AND I was using the

It is said by many that, “The wild turkey is the greatest American game bird.” Certainly grouse and woodcock hunters, as well as those who prefer quail or waterfowl, might disagree. But, considering the fact that a huntable population of wild turkeys now exists in all 48 of the continental states and Hawaii, their numbers

As I sit and ponder what to write about it’s a beautiful sun-drenched spring morning. Although the temperature might be a little on the chilly side, the smell of spring is in the air. You can feel the warmth of the sun and just know warmer days are right around the corner. It’s such a
