Thursday, June 21, 2018, is the official first day of summer. For the next several months of warmer days and periodic thunderstorms and rain showers, we have the perfect time to step up our efforts to better the habitat to help all forms of wildlife. From field to forest, the work we do can provide
Wrestlers are tough. The sport, through countless hours of training in the mat room, produces competitors that are mentally strong, physically imposing, and capable of handling themselves throughout difficult situations. During a luncheon to honor Montoursville area wrestlers of the past and present, attendees got to see a softer side of wrestling. Longtime coach and

That city police are cooperating in efforts to eliminate double parking in the business district street is shown in the reports that at least eight motorists have been fined recently for parking in the regular parking lanes. Others have been tagged during the campaign, but the records do not disclose how many because of no
I love getting new shoes, don’t you? There’s just something about putting my best foot forward in a brand-new pair of shoes that gives me a bit of a rush. Of course, I love shoes whether it’s new strappy stilettoes for an event, or shiny new slip-ons for spring. What I don’t love is the
Seriously y’all, it has been a week for sure. I have seen and read some things this week that would make your hair curl. Some was horrifying, and some was just downright weird. But that’s OK. We don’t let the hate and weirdness get us down. We gather ourselves, try to continue our lives with
With the catch and immediate release of the bass season now over, and the regular bass season now underway many fishermen have turned their attention to bass rather than trout. There’s no doubt that April is big for trout and May still attracts a pretty good number of trout anglers, but by June trout fishing
The local high school baseball season recently came to a close, and every summer I do my very best to give out props. Two of my friends had exceptional years at the helm. Kudos to them and their talented teams. Williamsport had their best season on the diamond since 2002 and claimed consecutive district titles
As fundraising chairman for the South Williamsport Lions Club in 1990, Max Dell was looking for new projects to tackle. While paging thru a Lions Club Magazine, he learned of a high school football game being played in Florida. He presented the idea to the local club and the rest, as they say, ‘is history.’
Before I get started, a tip of the Colorado Rockies hat to Kyle Datres. The former Loyalsock Township grad was drafted to begin his professional baseball career within the Rockies organization. At press time the North Carolina junior was hoping to lead his team to the College World Series. More on this next week. For
So last year when I wrote about Pride Month, I got a lot of mixed reactions. I received a lot of really nice phone calls and emails, and I also got a bit of hate. For those who sent me hate — you may want to stop reading now. Cause I’m going to be straight
This promises to be a very special season for the Williamsport Crosscutters when they open their season against the State College Spikes this Friday, June 15 at Historic Bowman Field. According to Gabe Sinicropi, Vice President and Director of Marketing for the Crosscutters, 2018 will mark the Williamsport Crosscutters 20th season, and the team is
There’s a story about a man who was so committed to running his business that he never took time to do anything else. He never went to the doctor. He ignored all the little signs that something might be wrong until his health became so bad that he couldn’t work at all. He lost the
I have a confession to make. I stalk my children. I stalk my husband, too. I don’t know why I do it, actually. It’s a sickness, I guess — an unhealthy obsession with knowing exactly where my loved ones are at practically every moment of every day. Thanks to the fine people at Apple and
I think it’s safe to assume that most husbands and boyfriends do no put clothes shopping with their significant other at the top of their fun-couple-things list. However, like taxes, shoveling snow, and changing poopy diapers, clothes shopping is one of those things you just have to buckle down and do, because naked is not
The recent rise in school shootings has had a fall out in many dimensions. Homeschooling has taken a sharp rise. Even churches are initiating or upgrading their security measures. In Lycoming County, there is a strong network that is manning the front lines against such troubles in our schools. Last week we featured Brian Pick,

With a “booster” throng of 1,643
With the daytime temperatures in the mid-70s, cooler evenings and the occasional shower or two, it appears that spring is finally upon us. Beautiful sunrises greet the morning skies, and the sunsets can be spectacular, with so much to see and do throughout the day. Additionally, since the last week in May and the first
It will be a great day for “Old Glory” when the annual Flag Day March is held. It is a little extra special this year — since this will be the 35th time this venerable event will step off. In these sometimes contentious and tumultuous times, this event is a reminder of what is good
Wow. You look great. Have you lost weight? No. Not really. Jeez, you’re tan. You must be playing lots of golf. Not at all. Actually, I came up with a new workout routine. It doesn’t require much skill, and it’s somewhat refreshing. You only need a little time and a pole. I like to call
We seem to be hearing that phrase a lot these days, “It’s not fair.” I even hear that same suggestion in the world of hunting and fishing. Let me explain. I recently read something in an outdoor publication that I find kind of annoying. In a letter to the editor, the writer said it wasn’t
Your neck bone’s connected to your backbone. And that’s a good thing. You want to be the most together person around, in more ways than one. No sense in having your body parts lying scattered when you really need them all in one place. Disconnection could be a problem, as you’ll see in “They Lost
Before lines of teachers and presenters coming up to the stage to present awards for the future graduates of Montgomery, two men got ready to give away one that had a deeper meaning. For Mark and Glenn Crossley, the Glenn Crossley Memorial Award symbolizes years of dedication to the youth of Montgomery. The elder Glenn
Chances are, as a sports fan, at some time in your life you’ve approached an athlete seeking an autograph. Or, you may have seen the movie “The Sandlot” and are familiar with the fate of the Babe Ruth ball at the mercy of the neighbor’s dog. In either case, autographs can become a cherished keepsake
The words every student up and down the Susquehanna Valley couldn’t wait to hear. I’ve been out of school longer than I care to admit, but that phrase still brings a smile to my face. I must also give Alice Cooper credit for the kickoff-to-summertime anthem of the same words. Although I don’t know if
