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
An exciting line-up of name musical acts highlights the 164th edition of the Bloomsburg Fair to be held from September 20 to 28.

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!
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.

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
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
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

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
Have you ever noticed a small bulge in your abdomen or groin? Even if it isn’t painful, it could be a hernia. Unfortunately, aside from resting and taking ibuprofen for pain, there isn’t much you can do on your own to treat a hernia, but have a general surgeon repair the hernia. What is a

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
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. Slated for October 26th at the William Hepburn High Rise, volunteers who raise or contribute at least $1,000 for either the YWCA, the YMCA, or
Before I get started, I just want to thank Jimmy for giving me his space this week. Literacy is an issue that is important to both of us and that, coupled with Hunter’s Thursday night football game at UConn (#GoHuskies), we decided that I get to kick off (pun intended) this week’s issue. According to
Men and women know that adjustments must be made as they get older. Athletes nearing their golden years may not be able to push themselves as hard at the gym as they once did. Professionals nearing retirement age might not be able to pull long hours at the office like they used to. But aging
Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss among people age 40 and older. According to All About Vision, cataracts also are the principal cause of blindness in the world.

The new school year is here, which means you’ve probably finished your back-to-school shopping. But, in addition to the important decision of what clothes to buy your kids, you should also make sure you take time to buy a quality backpack that won’t cause your child an injury. The American Physical Therapy Association says as
September is Sight Saving Month. It is estimated that about 47,000 Americans a year will lose their sight, which equals one person every 11 minutes.
