If we’re lucky, some of the best years of our lives are considered the best because they are spent in the company of a dog. It’s what I think of when I hear the term “dog years” anyway. It’s not how old a dog may be in terms of human aging, but instead, it’s the
Denim in 2026 is less about chasing trends and more about rethinking how you wear the jeans you already own. Jeans are a staple. Sure, there have been statement denim moments in the past, but in these times, jeans should anchor an outfit with quiet confidence. A good pair of jeans will lift up and
The month of March begins to usher in spring, and with that comes the high-flying flocks of geese that are a fairly common sight in Pennsylvania — and that’s especially true of the Canada Goose. Like a lot of other folks, I have seen a pretty good number of Canada geese going over, but on
I don’t like to gamble. It’s not my thing. I never played cards. Nor the slots. Forget about the skill machines, and those games of chance. I used to put money down on the Super Bowl. But that got ugly. I believe his name was Boris. I stopped giving money to my friends during the
Finally, the daytime temperatures are reaching into the 50’s and 60’s, Spring officially arrived over the last weekend, and we have seen the last of the late winter snows (hopefully!). Now it’s time to get outside and tackle a few springtime chores. Robins are bouncing around the yard searching for worms. Bluebirds have been showing
I will begin where I left off last week. My thoughts and prayers are with all who provide the freedom to write this column, the service men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Our Nation has been involved in a military conflict 90% of the time since its founding in 1776. This includes
Boys and girls, step right up, everyone has a chance to win a prize! You can’t argue with the Easter staples, so we are hunting Easter Eggs this year! As we patiently wait for spring to make its full arrival, it’s time to start our 6th annual Easter Hunt contest! Most of you are familiar
“Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you. Go to work, do your best, don’t outsmart your common sense, don’t let your praying knees get lazy, and love like crazy.” Simple words from a great song by Lee Brice. I was listening to it in the car while putting in the
Financial advisors often review with clients the value of adding gold to their portfolio. Montgomery’s Zoe Furman and Montoursville’s Gage Wentzel have already acted upon that advice, returning home from Hershey with state championship gold medals around their necks. The latest in a long line of area grapplers to reach the state wrestling summit, Furman
Justin Flannery Hilton demonstrated remarkable determination in his battle with cancer. Although he ultimately lost his fight, his resilience and sense of purpose inspired the creation of “K’s for Cancer” in 2013 as a tribute to his legacy. The organization’s name reflects Justin’s love of baseball, where “K” signifies a strikeout. The hope is that
On February 28th, the Lycoming County Beagle Club held its annual Rabbit Hunt. The weather finally broke, giving us a reprieve from bone-chilling cold and snow. With warm weather and a bit of a breeze, my dad and I were able to get the two beagles, Trigger and Radar, out for a run. It didn’t
There may be no known connection between fictional farmer Ray Kinsella in the 1989 movie Field of Dreams. What is soon to be unveiled in Williamsport, but that baseball field in an Iowa cornfield, and the one constructed atop an old city dump have one thing in common: they were both built hoping people would
With spring turkey season not far off, every time I head down the road, I’m checking nearby fields for feeding turkeys. I must say that I have been spotting a fair number of birds, and of the ones I’m seeing, a pretty good number of them have been sporting some good, long beards. According to
The Lycoming County commissioners met this week to address a matter that has stirred considerable emotion across the county. The Bush House Estate near the former Lycoming Mall in Muncy sits at the center of a debate that reveals how we struggle with change, even when change becomes necessary.

It doesn’t matter if you wear yours cinched at the
Our simulator is up and running. The putting green is set. It looks incredible. The Warrior Golf team room is almost finished. Much love to the Plankenhorns for their generous gift. We are so spoiled, and now the guys get to work on their games on campus. 24-7. Beautiful. Thanks to Lycoming College and our
Finally! The official arrival of the first day of spring will occur on Friday, March 20, 2026, and after a much colder-than-usual winter, it couldn’t arrive soon enough! With warmer temperatures and intermittent rains, we should turn our attention to planning habitat work that will benefit all forms of wildlife. Probably the most important key
It’s well-documented that kitchens are popular gathering spaces in homes. Perhaps that’s one reason why homeowners looking to sell their homes direct so much attention to the kitchen before listing their properties. The real estate experts at Trulia note that emphasis is well worth it, as buyers inspect kitchens and primary bathrooms more than any
There’s no shortage of ways to utilize interior spaces in a home. Interior spaces have grown considerably in recent decades.

Many people will admit that home ownership tops their lists of long-term goals. Finding a home that is affordable may require moving into what many real estate agents bill as a “starter home.” But the arrival of a child, and then more children thereafter, could make a home that was perfectly functional for two or
Outdoor living has become a coveted feature for many homeowners and those looking to buy.

Spring is home renovation season, and no area of a home is off limits. That includes home exteriors, particularly in regard to landscaping. Lawn and garden centers draw crowds on spring weekends, as homeowners are anxious to get out in the yard after spending more time indoors over the winter. Plants and trees provide a
The kitchen may be the heart of a home, but health experts notes it’s also the dirtiest room in the house. According to the National Sanitation Foundation, areas where food is stored and prepared have more fecal contamination and bacteria than other places in a home, like the bathroom.

No two home renovation projects are the same. Some projects are highly detailed undertakings that take months if not years from start to finish, while others can be tackled by skilled do-it-yourselfers over the course of a single weekend. Though each project is different, categorizing renovations as needs or wants can help homeowners determine when
Spring is the season of nature’s rebirth. Trees and flowers begin to bloom anew each spring, and young animals can be seen frolicking with their parents.

Carpeting adds warmth and comfort underfoot, but residential carpeting is a significant financial investment. Homeowners should do all they can to ensure carpeting remains in good condition for as long as possible.

Outdoor living spaces have become sought-after commodities among homeowners.
