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
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
A recurring theme in the County Commissioners Meeting is lamenting the number of issues that they must deal with that were caused by previous administrations. The most classic albatross was the county’s endeavor to build a water park near the White Deer Golf Course back in the 1980s. The business plan was doomed from the
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. 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
Allegheny Airlines will inaugurate the carrying of regular three-cent mail by air here today when Flight 707 leaves the Williamsport Municipal Airport shortly after 7 p.m. It is one of 10 feeder airlines which will service more than 100 communities scattered through 23 states, according to Postmaster General Arthur E. Sommerfield, announced this week. Allegheny
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
Williamsport- The Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society will welcome everyone back to its first Coffee Hour since June with a ‘Show and Tell’. It will be held in the Community Room of the museum, on Thursday, September 12, 2019 at 10am. The program is free and open to the public.
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
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
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
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
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
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
