This Autumn classic steps off for the 77th time this year, beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 19. The long-range weather
National Teen Driver Safety Week is Oct 20-26. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, data indicates that traffic crashes are a leading cause of death for 15-20-year-olds. New teen drivers are gaining experience behind the wheel, which increases the chance of dangerous situations for the teen and other roadway users around them. Here
Every so often, an understated clothing item comes around into the trend cycle, which gives you a chance to re-wear a beloved staple in a new way or explore an accessible item you may have overlooked in your style past. Right now, the polo shirt is having a moment for men, women, and children. Yes,

Nothing stays the same. Over the years, the only constant is change itself. It is said that without change, everything remains stagnant, and thus, change is a good and necessary thing. As a hunter with over seven decades under my belt, I have witnessed and experienced a great deal of change regarding the image hunters
Muncy’s Austin Johnson is an extraordinary young lad. He is a three-time state wrestling finalist. Johnson will go down as one of the area’s all-time bests. He will be heading to Oklahoma State University on a full scholarship next fall. But it is what Johnson does on the gridiron that impresses me the most. I
Winter will soon be upon us, and for some, that means holing up in the house, sitting next to a nice warm fireplace, sipping a cup of coffee, and watching a favorite TV show. While I might occasionally engage in that activity, like many other folks, I will also spend time hunting and fishing through
First impressions are sometimes very important. I met Joe Hamm for the first time in 2012 when he was borough manager for Jersey Shore and also a supervisor for Hepburn Township. At that time, I was a supervisor for Clinton Township and investigated the possibility of a regional police force for our area. I knew
“Every dog has its day.” It is a phrase most everyone has heard, but I was surprised to learn its origin traces back to the 1500s when uttered by no less notable than Queen Elizabeth I. Paraphrasing that early remark, its implication is that every dog and every person has a period of power or
Each fall, as Breast Cancer Awareness Month approaches, we often hear the reminder to “schedule your annual mammogram.” While regular mammograms are crucial for early detection, there are other important factors that contribute to understanding your risk of breast cancer. One of the most significant is knowing your family’s health history. This information not only
With just a few more weeks to go, the every-four-year, mind-numbing marathon known as the United States presidential campaign will (hopefully) reach its conclusion. American presidential election campaigns are much longer than in other countries. Many nations have laws on the books that strictly curtail how long campaigns can be conducted. But in the good
For those of you who might skip my column this week because I’m writing about sports, there’s a message in here for most everybody. Actually, there may be more than one when it comes to those who want to use athletic competition as a hot button to divide the American people. As I was watching
As Breast Cancer Awareness Month continues, I would like to tell you about a local organization that is helping to make women going through BC treatment and post-mastectomy patients more comfortable, all while raising money to support the children of those who have lost a parent to breast cancer. According to girlzinthehoodie.com, “Mastectomy patients often

Between inventory issues and climbing interest rates, buying a vehicle can be quite an ordeal, making it an investment worth protecting. Today’s vehicles require less maintenance than ever before. You can go longer between oil changes and many tires are rated for longer travel. However, keeping up with regular maintenance remains part of your vehicle’s
Summer and fall can stake their claim as road trip season, and even devoted drivers may admit that winter is generally a less desirable time to take to the open road. The elements factor heavily into that reputation, as fewer hours of daylight, snow and ice are just some of the variables that can make

No, this isn’t a guide for how to craft the perfect lunch, but instead, a method for building outfits in much the same way you think about building a sandwich. The sandwich technique is simply matching an element of your top half (a top or jacket) to an element of your bottom half (pants, a
ARIES – Mar 1 – Apr 20 Aries, you might have been thinking about making changes for a very long time. One of the biggest changes could be moving home base. Look at real estate. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, even if you’re not sure what to do this week, you may have to
It’s no secret — people love their pets. Last year alone, people spent $147 billion on their pets, according to the American Pet Products Association, which included throwing what has turned into one of the hottest invites on social media these days: pet parties. There have been more than 1 million posts using #DogBirthday to
Throughout most of Pennsylvania, most hunters tend to focus their time and attention on big game hunting — pursuing whitetail deer, black bear, and wild turkeys. Fewer hunters these days seem to spend time in the woods in pursuit of small game, and they are missing some great opportunities to enjoy our abundant hunting options.
The 13th annual Liberty Classic band festival, featuring 116 musicians from a dozen states, is set for the weekend of Oct. 18-20 in Williamsport. As always, the event concludes with a free concert at the Community Arts Center at 1:30 p.m. that Sunday. Initiated in 2010 under the baton of Col. Arnald Gabriel, the festival
“What’s black & white and red all over?” asks the familiar elementary school riddle. The ‘newspaper’ answer to the question provided the driving impetus for the recent announcement that longtime Williamsport Sun-Gazette sports reporter Chris Masse is among 11 new members of the West Branch Valley Sports Hall of Fame, who will be formally inducted
That’s right; it’s not just hunting season, but it’s also one of the best times of the year to chalk up some good fishing as well. The fall days offer some great fishing opportunities for a variety of different fish species, and trout should be included in that list. I know most of us think

I have mentioned before that my father and I are building an addition. Yes, we are two years in and almost finished. I did my best to chronicle the entire experience. There was never a dull moment with our foolish mistakes and our lack of progress. People continue to marvel at our work, especially those
If you’ve followed “Weird Words” over these past months, you might recall such oddball vocab as diapir and poddy-dodger. Despite appearances, neither has anything to do with bodily functions; the first is a geographical rock formation, the latter an Australian cattle-thief. Both defined in older columns, they are instances of what we’re calling “words in
As I noted in this column two weeks ago, polls are about as reliable as palm readers. One thing that appears to be true, however, is that the Keystone State will be the key to whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump becomes president of the United States. The popular vote is interesting, but it has
