    Jim Webb

    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.

  • Seeing as Well as Catching0

    Ken Hunter

    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

    For many the long-awaited opening of the 2019 National Football League season may have seemed like it would never arrive.

    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.

  • County Hall Corner: Crime and Punishment0

    Larry Stout

    The saying goes that crime doesn’t pay, but that is not completely true, because someone does pay — the taxpayer.

And all of these cost money!

    Jim Webb

    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.
