  • Nobel Peace Nominee to Speak in Williamsport0

    Dave Bellomo

    According to FBI statistics, violent crime is down approximately 6%, which is an encouraging trend. However, we still have a long way to go. In 2023, there were 22.5 violent crimes per 1,000 people aged 12 or older in the United States. Questions many of us would ask are “Where, specifically, does violence originate?” and

    The Bookworm Sez: “Angel of Vengeance” by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child0

    Terri Schlichenmeyer

    They say that you can never go back home again. Oh, sure, you can physically be there a few times. You can stay overnight, sleep in your old bed, eat at the same table, but something will’ve changed. Home isn’t home anymore, it’s different. Whether it’s a week or ten years, you can never go

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Every now and then, a book comes along that everybody seems to be talking about — even if it isn’t exactly “new.” At the moment, one such title is Project Hail Mary, the latest from Andy Weir — whose The Martian scored big on both page and screen some years ago. Almost every time I

  • The Roving Sportsman… Take a Hike!0

    Jon Pries

    Just last week, the sweltering heat and high humidity caused real health concerns about spending time outdoors.

    Much like my Mother’s Day list, my Father’s Day list changes and flow and gets a few edits along the way, but I think it’s a pretty good list. So much like Dads usually appreciate, let’s not get fussy and get on with it… First and foremost, Happy Father’s Day to Steve. You are an

  • Full Speed Ahead for Furiosa: Fifth Mad Max Movie Fuels the Franchise0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    What would you say to a single action scene that required 78 shooting days and 200 stunt men? Those are the stats on the central chase in George Miller’s Furiosa; and the film is worth seeing for that alone. Happily, it has lots of other great stuff, too. This fifth installment in the long-running Mad

  • Easter Blessings0

    As I sat and pondered what to write about it was a beautiful sun-drenched spring morning. Although the temperature might be a little on the chilly side, the smell of spring is in  the air. You can feel the warmth of the sun and just know warmer days are right around the corner. It’s such

    The cover reading February 21st means only one more issue this month; that’s a good thing.

  • Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month0

    Steph Noviello

    Dating violence is more common than you may think, especially among teens and young adults: 1 in 3 U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before becoming adults. And nearly half (43%) of U.S. college women report experiencing violent or abusive dating behaviors. For parents and

  • Working-Class Heroes: George Clooney’s “Boys in the Boat”0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    It’s fitting that George Clooney’s crowd-pleasing Boys in the Boat focuses on rich and privileged know-it-alls being bested by working-class heroes at the 1936 Olympics. Fitting, I say, because privileged know-it-alls — i.e., American critics and the left-leaning Hollywood establishment — already do not care for this film; I’m sure it won’t see a single

  • Fishing Boots for Christmas0

    Exchange week. Party week. Travel week. Rest-up week. Whatever these December days between Christmas and New Year’s may be called where you reside, you can be assured of one thing when it comes to the media; its broadcasts and pages will be filled with a lot of ‘year-in-review’ lookbacks. With so much increased violence, corruption,

    Before I get to the pure evil being witnessed around the world, I want to pick up where I left off last week — the complete debacle regarding the ousting of Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy.
