Williamsport Area School District students will be able to benefit from an upcoming casual Friday next month through a first-of-its-kind, community-wide event scheduled for Oct. 18. The Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation (WASDEF) and the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank (CPFB) are once again joining forces in the area’s first Dress Down for Williamsport Schools
Anyone who has glanced at a calendar recently readily knows that fall is officially upon us. What might not be as obvious is the realization that this weekend will mark the beginning of the second half of the high school football season. The first five weekends of the schoolboy season have passed by without much
Last week and into this week, millions have been entertained and moved by Ken Burns’ latest epic documentary series “Country Music,” which chronicles the history of a genre of music enjoyed all over the world. Lycoming County has its own connection to this wonderful music through the late Bob and Dean McNett and their “Radio
Kim Joyce, Kristen Durwachter, Vicki Fischer, and Johanna Shoeneck Congratulations to the lovely ladies who competed in the 47th Marion Stopper Invitational. Sixty gals representing ten area clubs took part in this special one-day tournament. Teams of two teed it up for 18 holes on what was once called the Challenge. They played a two-person
In November, the registered voters of the city of Williamsport will elect their next mayor. He will be a much younger man than his predecessor, married to a wonderful wife with several beautiful children. He will be knowledgeable, well educated, and even have studied abroad. He will be a visionary but understands the severe constraints
Cooler temperatures and lower humidity have ushered in the fall season, which officially began on Monday, September 23rd. Soon, the various hunting seasons we have all been waiting for will be underway, and yet, there is still a lot we can do in the area of habitat improvement over the next few months. Specifically, adding
It’s hard to believe that when Montoursville and Loyalsock kick it off this Friday night, we’ll be five weeks into the high school football regular season. I don’t know which one of these two things seem more out of bounds. That we’re halfway thru the PIAA High School football season and the calendar still reads
I pretty much live and die by carbohydrates. Pasta, chips, potatoes, rice, you name it and I’m probably going to eat it. Mostly likely with cheese. But, I’m also an adult, and one that’s — unfortunately — not getting any younger. So every now and again I attempt to make some healthier choices as far
If you enjoy cars this should be a dream weekend for car enthusiasts as three car shows representing three different types of cars will take place this weekend on Saturday, September 21, beginning at 9 a.m. More than 150 Corvettes will be on display on Main Street in Muncy when the Susquehanna Valley Corvette Club
With end of summer sales and new arrivals hitting the stores all through autumn, it’s easy to get swept up in the novelty of trendy pieces and shiny new baubles. Tread carefully friends, the allure of deep summer discounts alongside the thrill of modern fall clothing can lead to buyer’s remorse and debt. I myself
An exciting line-up of name musical acts highlights the 164th edition of the Bloomsburg Fair to be held from September 20 to 28. These acts include such Country-Western stalwarts as the Oak Ridge Boys and Toby Keith, as well as talented Gospel star, Amy Grant, with her opening act, We Are Messengers. The rock and roll
For Kyle and Sarah Kuehne, the decision to have children was a no-brainer. Kyle, an adult protective service supervisor, and Sarah, an English teacher at Jersey Shore Area Middle School, ended up with two beautiful children; Charlotte, 5, and Caroline, 2. What took a bit more reflection, however, was the decision to adopt. The Kuehne’s
The saying goes that crime doesn’t pay, but that is not completely true, because someone does pay — the taxpayer. When a crime is committed, emergency services are utilized, if an arrest is made, the court system gets involved, and if guilt is determined, the penal system is engaged. And all of these cost money!
That the police department of this city is efficient was demonstrated Saturday morning when a burglar was caught after he tried to break into a residence in the west end of the city. At 20 minutes of 2, Daniel Carn, who lives on the northeast corner of Rose and West Fourth Streets, called the police
For many the long-awaited opening of the 2019 National Football League season may have seemed like it would never arrive. The fantasy leaguers had picked their teams, the television talking heads had babbled on since mid-summer giving of their opinions about who was going to do what and the average fan was anxious to see
I recently had the privilege of serving as a fire policeman for the Clinton Twp. Fire Company and helping line up the bikers who were participating in the 911 Memorial Ride held on September 11th. As early as 9:00 a.m., the riders began arriving, and during the day I enjoyed getting to chat a bit
Fishing has always been a passion, and I continue to take full advantage of what North Central PA has to offer. I am on the water an awful lot and usually head out after dinner. I haven’t had the chance of late. Teach and the kid are back in school, and work is getting in
When was the last time that you were interested in purchasing a firearm where the dealer in the shop said it was “OK” to take it out for a test firing to make sure it is want you hoped it would be? Have any of the big box stores allowed you to check out a
I’ll admit it, when I’m fishing I’m pretty intent; I become very absorbed in the catching process and my attention is often totally on the line, lure and water in front of me. Certainly I enjoy just being “out there” but I also want to catch fish. Fortunately Mother Nature will sometimes interrupt our concentrated
It was a beautiful, sun drenched, late-summer morning. It appeared all was right in the world. The early day’s sun still very warm, but the smell of fall was in the air. I dropped my sons off for school and daycare. Jimmy had just started kindergarten and Hunter was a very young preschooler. I was
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 18 years since our country was changed forever. Eighteen years since almost 3,000 people lost their lives to a terror attack that changed the landscape of the United States forever. One of the bright spots that emerged from that fateful day was the 9/11 Memorial Ride. It began
For the first 18 rides of the 9-11 Memorial Coalition, one man, Father John Manno, was front and center — a part of and a champion of the ride, which seeks to remember and honor the victims of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Father Manno, in many ways, became the public face and the
Thirty-eight junior hunters drawn by lottery soon will experience the thrill of seeing a wild pheasant rooster pounding skyward while having the special opportunity to harvest it. The Pennsylvania Game Commission today announced the application process for the third annual Central Susquehanna Wild Pheasant Recovery Area (WPRA) youth hunt. Last year’s hunt, held over two
An appearance by a professional air show and air race team and a flying aerobatic show featuring “paramotors,” are among the new things that will highlight the 13th annual “Balloonfest, Air Show & So Much More” this Saturday, September 14th at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in Hughesville, PA. The event is presented each year by
The skies darkened. The threatening clouds drew closer. A bolt of lightning flashed from the beyond the centerfield fence. After a summer of baseball two remaining ground crew members assumed their solitary work of covering home plate and the pitcher’s mound. The inevitable was just moments away. Soon the skies opened up, and Mother Nature
There are ebbs and flows in any organization; times when it seems that all hell has broken loose, and other times when there is hardly anything happening at all. This was evident with county government during the month of August. The weekly County Commissioners’ meeting agenda would have two or three action items, whereas it
I’ve been reading and hearing a lot recently about the Pennsylvania Game Commissions proposal to ask for a ban on the feeding of deer. As usual, anything that has to do with the PGC and deer usually results in lots of controversy and plenty of outspoken opinions — some for and some against. Understand that
As the summer days shorten and fall is almost upon us, let’s take a look at what we can do over the next month or so to improve our habitat for the wildlife we hope to aid through the upcoming winter months. Even though the daytime temperatures are slowly dropping as fall approaches, there is
Rappel spots are limited for Over the Edge 2019— the daring urban adventure fundraiser benefitting the YWCA Northcentral PA, River Valley Regional YMCA and Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation.
