Many folks have asked me why I haven’t written much about the upcoming election. My answer is simple. We’ve all heard enough about the November 5th date and suffer from negative voices across a chalkboard overload. I’ve been trying to live in positivity. That being said, my next two columns will be my views and
Sometimes, in life, you need a little collaboration. And that’s what Joe and I are bringing you this week. What, exactly, are we collaborating on? Well, let me tell you… By Steph Nordstrom & Joseph W. Smith III We are bringing you a list of our favorite scary movies — just in time for Spooky
Curtin Intermediate School’s motto, “Enter to Learn, Go Forth, and Serve,” is not just a phrase, but a principle the students take to heart. Their commitment to the service-oriented project, “Socktober,” is a testament to this. On Friday, September 27th, Andrew G. Curtin Intermediate School kicked their annual Positive School-Wide Behavior Program (PBIS) with their first “FINAL
Eight out of 10 Americans will experience back pain at least once or more in their lifetimes. In fact, a third of people ages 18 to 29 already have back problems, while nearly half of those ages 65 and older do. The back, or spine, is one of the most important body parts and one
As we move into mid and late October and closer to the rutting period, the chances of taking a buck will likely increase. Success can come early as well, however. I just talked with a young man who just got into hunting a few years ago, and he showed me a nice eight-point buck he
Charles Alsheimer is recognized as one of the greatest authorities on whitetail deer, their habits, and their habitat. For almost 20 years, his passion was studying the timing of the rut and making predictions on his findings. His predictions are largely based on the cyclical changes in the illumination of the Earth’s sun and moon

ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 You’ll feel a strong urge to take initiative, especially in areas related to your career or personal projects, Aries. However, be careful to avoid overextending yourself. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, you might find yourself evaluating your spending habits or considering new ways to increase your income. It’s a
When a potential presidential candidate chooses a vice president as their running mate, they have to select one that they know has a good record, is articulate, especially on difficult issues, and has leadership characteristics that would be needed just in case something tragic happens and the vice president has to take over. Arguably, this
The Uptown Music Collective will kick off its 2024-2025 performance season with Midnight Train to Memphis: A Tribute to Modern Country at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 8 and 9 at the Community Arts Center, 220 W.

Ease and convenience are the name of the game during the school year as parents and students alike adapt to overwhelming schedules, mounds of homework and seemingly never-ending after-school activities. Oftentimes it’s school day meals that take a hit with families opting for quick bites or drive-thru dining, but that doesn’t have to be the
Adults understand that each restaurant visit presents an opportunity to try something new. North America is a true melting pot, and people from all over the world brought their customs, cultures and food to the continent. One can pull up a map of his or her immediate area and likely find restaurants offering Italian, Chinese,
I will proudly state that last month, I turned 44; I am middle-aged, and it is a widely known fact that great style is ageless. Some of the most stylish women in fashion are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s and have spent a lifetime curating their refined looks while still making current trends work
A few have asked why I don’t write about soccer. I like the sport, but I guess it isn’t one of my favorites. I played quite a bit when I was younger. I gave it up when I got to high school. Many of my good friends continued. The Millionaires were solid. A few even

Although the initial rankings to determine the field for the new 12-team college football playoffs will not begin until November 5, this has not stopped players, coaches, and fans from considering what effect every week’s games may have on their chances of being included in the chase to be number one in the land. Perhaps
No other Pennsylvania hunting season offers such a potentially big payoff as this one. Last year, hunters harvested 2,920 black bears across Pennsylvania, getting at least one in 58 of the state’s 67 counties and 20 of its 22 Wildlife Management Units (WMUs). They took seven in the early season, 695 in archery season, 541
What an amazing night sky we all witnessed this past week. The scientific community explained it as a strong geometric storm. This capped a most turbulent week of weather here on the East Coast. I surmise it as the overwhelming beauty, power, and danger of Mother Nature on full display. Hurricane Milton posed many problems

When you think of Fall in this area, you think of beautiful, colorful fall foliage, warm apple cider, carving pumpkins, and, of course, the long-standing tradition of the annual South Williamsport Mummers Parade. This Autumn classic steps off for the 77th time this year, beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 19. The long-range weather
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
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
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
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.

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
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
“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
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,
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
