  • 2024 Super Bowl Predictions (Taylor’s Version)0

    Steph Nordstrom

    Back when Mike Rafferty started this tradition (back in 2012 if you’re keeping score), he used to come up with clever puns for each of the predictions. I’ve tried to do this over the years, but 1. I’m not as clever as Raff and B. Even if I were that clever, this piece has grown

  • Galentine’s Day0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Greeting card holidays can be kind of irritating, especially if they feel like an obligation; hello, Grandparents Day. And so often, it’s hard to summon genuine feelings around St. Patrick’s Day or send Halloween wishes. Valentine’s Day can feel like the worst offender of manufactured sentiment and can be a bit of a pressure cooker

  • Frozen Lines0

    Jamie Spencer

    Punxsutawney Phil was a no show. I guess that means it will be an early spring. Sign me up. The weather has been quite unpredictable. We haven’t experienced much cold. I was hoping to get out for some ice fishing, but the conditions drastically changed. I had to bail on my Amish friends. They didn’t

  • Invasive Species in Our Waterways0

    Ken Hunter

    It seems like the subject of invasive species, be they land-based species, aquatic plants, or animals, comes up more frequently these days. As a fisherman, I have noticed several new threats to our waterways, including invasive crayfish, zebra mussels, and the northern snakehead. Other species of fish, like the silver and bighead carp, while not

  • Beating the Winter Blues0

    Steph Nordstrom

    It’s official. We are at a pretty dreary time of year. The weather ain’t great. I’m fairly sure it rained for 27 hours straight last week. It’s cold, it’s dark, the post-holiday blues are rearing their ugly heads. I know the last thing you probably want to do is go outside. But the best way

  • Pajamas Days0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Winter has taken over, and cuddling up in bed or on the couch is the only activity I’m interested in for the next couple of months. And what’s better to wear in a cuddle-bubble than pajamas? Sure, you could opt for sweats or gym shorts, but for my money, a matching pajama set is the

    The Bookworm Sez: “The Lost Tomb and Other Real-Life Stories of Bones, Burials, and Murder” by Douglas Preston0

    Terri Schlichenmeyer

    It was a dinosaur bone. Not really but it was fun thinking that it was, even for a while. You were just seven years old then, and the truth (it was a simple rock) didn’t deter you from digging some more. It never stopped you from dreaming of ancient treasure or the rarest of relics.

    I ran into an old friend at the Magic Dome last week — someone I haven’t seen in fifteen years. Rahim Washington was a former teammate back in ’95. I was a senior, and Rahim was a talented freshman. We were part of a Millionaire squad that went to the state final. Washington was legit.

    You can’t control your parents. If you didn’t have that figured out when you were five years old, or sixteen, you surely know it now. You can’t tell them what to do. You can’t make them follow your directions. You can’t even give them advice. And as in the new book “A Very Inconvenient Scandal”

  • “We Shouldn’t Have to Bury Our Children”: Film About Opioid Crisis Hits Hard0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    I have to get even more personal than usual in this latest film review, because “The Rise of Opioids” hit me hard. Sponsored by Muncy’s Road Radio USA and produced by Williamsport’s On the Pulse, this documentary on the local opioid crisis starts right off by interviewing Caroline Miele, who lost her son Zachary to

    Once, there lived a kind, but exceedingly poor shoemaker. He was an honest, hard-working man, but he had fallen on hard times. So hard, in fact, that he could no longer make ends meet. All that remained in his workshop was enough leather to make a single pair of shoes. In the light of the

    Ken Hunter

    Living in this part of Pennsylvania, it’s certainly not unusual for the topic of black bears to come up in a conversation, and that’s especially true during the bear hunting seasons. More and more people, including many who don’t hunt, are reporting sightings of bears than ever before. There’s a good reason for these increased
