  • The Roving Sportsman… Pocket Knives1

    Jon Pries

    It has been over a half a century since my Grandfather, Ira Martin Witt, passed away, yet I am happy to say that I still have to this day his favorite pocket knife. It rests securely within the walls of a safe, as I am fearful that if I carried it, it would join so

  • Paddling 1010

    Jamie Spencer

    North Central Pennsylvania is home to several great opportunities and paddling gives you a whole new perspective. This includes kayaking, canoeing, and even standup wakeboarding on the nearby lakes, rivers, and streams. Paddling is another beautiful way to experience the outdoors. The Spencer’s have a canoe, and we use it rather often. While Mom sits

  • Cheers Alize0

    Jamie Spencer

    Alize Johnson continues to amaze. I’m pretty sure you already know his incredible story. You see, last spring Alize became the very first from our area to get drafted in the NBA. The second round pick of the Indiana Pacers had a solid rookie campaign. He spent most of his season recording ridiculous numbers with

  • The Manno Marriage Method0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Father John Manno came to Annunciation Parish (as it was known then) right around the time I left home for college. So, I never had the same level of interactions with him that rest of my family experienced. I did enjoy his homilies when I came home for weekend visits, and I was impressed with

    Alright folks, buckle up. It’s that time of year again. So let’s just get this out here now. I am going to write about Pride Month. If you are somehow, some way, living in 2019 and still offended by that, please stop reading. If you insist on continuing to read and then insist on following

  • Father’s Day by The Book0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    I’ve always been a big fan of gifting books for holidays and birthdays because I personally enjoy reading and I believe more people should be reading actual physical books. Usually when browsing books for gift-giving I lean towards novels or biographies. However, for Father’s Day this year I’m looking at parenting guides for the Dads

  • Wills and Ways0

    Jamie Spencer

    A long time ago in a gymnasium nearby- I was introduced to an extraordinary young man. I had already seen him in action, and I was highly impressed with his skill set. We got to talking and hit it off immediately. His name was Alize Johnson, and I vividly remember that very first conversation. He

  • Limit Screen Time to Get Kids Moving this Summer0

    UPMC Susquehanna

    Parents often complain about how childhood looks so different today, compared to when they were children. Today, kids have technology at their fingertips 24 hours a day—TV, smartphones, YouTube, and video games. Research backs these complaints. A 2018 study from Common Sense Media, showed pre-teens are spending six hours per day in front of a

    A Harley Highway to Heaven0

    Jim Webb

    “Love each other and share the spirit of Jesus Christ.” That was the message Father John Manno wanted me to share with everyone this past Easter. He was clear his message wasn’t just for Easter Sunday, but every day. Father John believed love is what is needed most in the divided world of today. This

  • Carrying the Name1

    Steph Noviello

    For me, Father John was more than a priest. He was more than a supporter of our community. He was more than the man who walked with a boot with the Williamsport Fire Department during the Grand Slam Parade or the man who led prayers at the 9/11 Memorial Ride. He was more than the

  • Habalar’s Quest0

    Scott Lowery

    A recent study estimated that approximately 45-million people in the United States participate in biking, running and jogging each year. Even with my enthusiasm for a variety of sports-related statistical matters, sadly I can’t be counted among this impressive number. My enjoyment and participation in sports has been a life-long pursuit, but the running part

  • County Hall Corner: Reflections on the Election0

    Larry Stout

    The primary/special election of 2019 is over, and it was quite memorable. Here are some observations from my perspective: Tremendous Turnout: In the 2007, 2011, and 2015 primary elections, the voter percentage was the same, 28%. But last Tuesday, 42% of the voters turned out. This is especially surprising because throughout the state the voter

  • Let’s Read0

    Steph Noviello

    I am a huge proponent of reading. Whether is trashy romance, young adult (even if you are an old adult), comic books, textbooks, or gossip magazines. Reading stimulates the brain and keeps it active and working — even if the content isn’t top tier. One of the great things about my Kindle (other than being

  • Risen Grace: All-In Belief0

    Tim Hartzell

    “He is risen from the dead!” His friends were trying to convince him, but Thomas just wasn’t buying it. He had watched Jesus die — and that was a fact, plain and simple. But before I continue writing about Thomas, let me tell you a story about all-in belief. A few weeks ago, two of

  • That Time Again0

    Steph Noviello

    It’s time for another round of ‘things to do.’ As of this writing, it’s currently somehow sleeting and snowing at the same time, but I swear spring has to be on the horizon. Hopefully, by the time you are reading this, we have hit some nicer weather. There is a lot happening in the area

  • County Hall Corner: Parents: Discover Your Local Library0

    Larry Stout

    An item in the work session of the County Commissioners Meeting on Tuesday, April 2nd was for approval of a grant of $1,256,912 for the Lycoming County Library System. This is a lot of money, to be sure. When discussions of money for much, much less sums sometimes get quite contentious among the Commissioners Board,

  • Healthy Eating: Myths vs. Facts0

    UPMC Susquehanna

    A myth is advice that becomes popular without facts to back it up. When it comes to healthy eating, it can be challenging to sort through what’s fact and what’s a myth. It’s important to learn the facts about what you’re eating so you can make the most informed food choices and learn how to

    The buckle on the collar is fastened tightly. It’s not foolproof, but it’s the best way you know to protect your dog. Add to that collar a leash with you at the other end, and Doggo isn’t going anywhere without you. But in “Ruff Justice,” the new whodunit by Laurien Berenson, a collar and a

  • The Last Game0

    Scott Lowery

    Anyone who has ever taken a journalism class has most likely received similar advice. In my case, I still recall the warning from the instructor. “Always remember,” he said, “when you are covering an event, keep your opinion out of the story. The news should be the news, and the reader isn’t interested in your

  • CWD – Not Going Away0

    Ken Hunter

    Writing about the great outdoors is something outdoor writers enjoy doing — myself included. Some subjects like chronic wasting disease or CWD, however, are very disheartening and garner a good bit of controversy as well. Like it or not CWD is here. It’s an integral part of our hunting heritage, and it’s probably not going

  • Lenten Intentions0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    As odd as it may seem, I truly do look forward to Lent. Not only does it mean the beginning of Spring, but it’s also an ideal time for reflection, to double-down on New Year’s resolutions, to set new challenges, and to reconnect. For this Lenten season, I’ve decided to focus on my health and

  • What to Purge in Your 30s0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    In my ongoing 2019 project of being more organized, I’ve started to look toward my wardrobe and realized it’s time, once again, for a clothing purge. For this year’s closet cleanout, I’m evaluating my style in terms of what is and is not age appropriate. My early 30s style-wise weren’t all that different from my

    My youngest kids are high school seniors, which, by extension, means that my husband and I have been tasked with the thankless job of hauling them hither and yon over the past two years so that they might ultimately find a college campus that “speaks to them.” Needless to say, we’ve spent countless hours on

    Welcome, everyone, please come in. I see you remembered what I said about coming in the door from the parking lot located on the Court Street side.

  • Grit: January 4, 1964 – City Joins Others in State Proposing Occupation Tax0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Although Williamsport has approved a 1964 budget, the proposed occupational privilege tax is still in the study stage. Receipts from the tax, estimated at $156,000, have been figured into the budget, making its passage virtually certain. But a mass of legal technicalities that go along with the tax indicate that several more weeks may be

    On occasion we outdoor types are occasionally faced with the task of navigating some unknown terrain. My son Brian recently returned from an elk-hunting trip to Colorado; a vast wilderness area he had never before traversed.
