When cleaning a home, homeowners can pull double duty and look for potentially hazardous situations. For example, vacuuming and dusting sessions
Homes are often characterized as sanctuaries for their residents. Though such characterizations often are made in reference to humans and their domiciles, homes also should be safe spaces for pets.

When the summer entertaining season draws to a close, homeowners need to ensure their outdoor living areas can handle weather that’s right around the corner. Although outdoor furniture and other items tend to be durable, the impact snow, wind and ice can have on them may lead to damage over time. That is why many
Renovations around the house require an investment of time and often considerable amounts of money. Findings from the 2024 U.S. Houzz & Home Study show that home renovations are becoming more expensive. The median renovation spending for homeowners has gone up 60 percent since 2020. Angi, a home services website, reports the average renovation cost

The following are some of the unexpected expenses
If your basement feels muggy, the air is damp or it’s a bit on the stinky side, you may have a humidity issue. Addressing and correcting the problem won’t just make your basement more comfortable; it’ll also create a cleaner, healthier environment. To help ensure your home — and basement — remains in good health,
Home improvement projects run the gamut from complex undertakings like room additions to simpler renovations like a new front door. Some home renovations excite homeowners more than others, but all improvements are a way to make a home safer, more comfortable and/or more functional. A gutter replacement might not inspire the same level of excitement
I can remember that bright blue sky and early sunshine like it was only yesterday. It could not have been a more beautiful late summer morning. As I started the workweek, Imus in the morning was on the radio; the first report on the show was that a small aircraft had flown into one of

As you go about your day, please take a moment to remember those who lost their lives that day. ‘Tank’ Baird, Todd Winder, and everyone from the 9/11 Memorial Coalition and the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company work tirelessly to make
As they have for the past 23 years, the 9/11 Freedom Ride Motorcycle Coalition will be holding its 24th annual 42-mile ride of remembrance this Thursday, September 11, to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that claimed more than 2,000 lives.

The defending 2024 league champions got off to a good start, holding first place midway through the first half
Hats off to the Williamsport Millionaires. They are off to a great start. The boys are 2-0 and will host Central Mountain later tonight. I had a chance to call my alma mater last weekend.

OK, I’ll admit it; I absolutely enjoy fishing, especially when there is a lot of catching going on while I’m in the process of fishing. And like many fishermen, over the years, I’ve developed some favorite techniques, lures, and equipment choices. When I was still in school, I was taught how to catch trout with
When was the last time that you were interested in purchasing a firearm where the dealer in the shop said it was “OK” to take it out for a test firing to make sure it is what you hoped it would be? Have any of the big box stores allowed you to check out a

As I sat in a chair with my dog, Buck, at my parents’ house during a Labor Day picnic, I glanced over at Finn, their dog, struggling to climb out of the pool. Age has begun to slow him down, and in that quiet moment, watching him, a wave of reflection came over me. It’s
Every couple of years, I find myself feeling the need to update parents on where we are with kids and the online world. Tech changes fast, and kids rotate apps more often than their wardrobe. Keeping up to date can be tough, so I try to help as much as I can. When most parents
At an age when most people are thinking about retirement, their grandkids, or even joining AARP, Tom Cillo, 58, of Williamsport, will be putting on pads for the Lycoming Warriors (movie and book deal coming soon).
