In the late 19th century, Williamsport was known as the “Lumber Capital of the World,” and the lumber barons who created this great wealth owned and lived in beautiful and opulent homes that featured the outstanding architecture of that era.

It is hard to stand out when there are 203 members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. However, we have two men who cover our area who are truly unique. I wrote last month about the amazing man, Joe Hamm, and this week, I want to highlight the recently reelected PA 83rd Legislative District Representative
When I was a teen in the glory days of rock ’n’ roll, my father had access to free concert tickets through his work at a daily newspaper. With his help, I got clutch seats for heyday shows by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Rush, ELO, Tom Petty and the Grateful Dead
Former superintendent Dr. Oscar Knade has long believed that the strength of a school district’s music program provides the key to learning and builds not only a lifelong appreciation for the arts in students but also a positive district reputation within the community. It was with these principles in mind that, in 1972, shortly after
Loyalsock Township High School (LTHS) proudly announces the signing of exceptional student-athletes who exemplify dedication, talent, and academic excellence. This day marked not only a celebration of athletic prowess but also a recognition of the commitment these individuals have shown both on and off the field.

As the holiday season approaches, you probably have a lot on your to-do list – holiday parties and gatherings, shopping for gifts, and vacations – and all that hustle and bustle, good and bad, could come to a screeching stop by a fall injury. When you’re younger, falling may be nothing more than a bit
You head to “Bear Camp” on Friday evening and hang out with the guys playing cards and telling tall tales of past hunts. You rise and shine early on Saturday morning. After a hearty breakfast, you all head out to put on a drive or two in the roughest and most rugged territory you can
I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I am an avid fisherman, and when it comes to catching trout, the flyrod is my first choice. My number one presentation with the flyrod would be dry flies drifted into the path of a rising trout; there’s just something really exciting about setting that hook into
South Williamsport’s three-peat District IV championship titles and deep runs into the PIAA state softball playoffs, including last year’s appearance in the AA state championship game, have continually raised the expectations of Lady Mounties fans. But the groundwork for the hardware that has been accumulated was laid long before today’s high school stars ever donned
Recently, while at Target picking up toothpaste, I noticed that the oral care aisle is starting to look more and more like the skincare aisle. Sure, there were the typical tubes of Crest value packs, but there were also sophisticatedly designed electric toothbrushes, organic mouthwashes, and other fancy-looking oral hygiene products. This got me wondering:
For many, the hallmark of the holiday season is time with cherished loved ones, and there are few better places to spend those special moments together than gathered around a beautiful seasonal spread.

As I watched Channel 16 to begin my Friday morning after the election, there was a rock concert going on with Joe Snedeker in the backyard. This made possible by the fact they didn’t have to fill half the airtime with political commercials. Thank goodness this is finally over. I have Penn State blue and
After a busy summer and fall I have once again managed to slip away from cooking at home. Now that the weather is changing and we are starting to hunker down for the cooler weather, it’s time to get back in the kitchen! I found — and made — this chicken dinner a couple of
I have been following politics since my teen years in the 1960s, and I thought it was crazy then. Nothing has been more crazy, weird, bizarre, and just plain stupid than this past presidential election. The Second Coming of Trump is certainly getting the attention, but there are casualties that are worth looking at. We
When Donald Trump won back the Presidency in this past election, most people probably thought that this was the first time that this historic feat had been accomplished, but they would be wrong. This remarkable feat was accomplished one other time, 130 years ago, by Grover Cleveland, who became the 22nd and 24th President after
November is Diabetes Awareness Month. An estimated 10 percent of Americans are living with diabetes — that’s about 38.4 million people. Diabetes is classified in two ways — Type 1 and Type 2. Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes cause similar symptoms and need lifelong management after diagnosis. But the two diseases have different

Hunting is not centered
Special thanks to those who supported my efforts. I decided to throw my hat into the ring at the very last minute. I was tired of the division — all of the hatred. The plethora of television advertisements made me cry. Then came all of the phone calls, random texts, and spam. You seriously can’t
Whether you are a long-time bowhunter or are new to archery hunting for deer in Pennsylvania, the signs — if you read and understand them correctly — are clearly pointing to the fact that “the rut is on!” Over the past week or more, an increase in the number of scrapes has been evident, and
The political ads media deluge is over! Television sets have been freed, now even those annoying commercial messages won’t seem as bad as what we’ve been subject to for the past month. In the interim, the World Series is over, high school football and soccer playoffs are winding down, college basketball is underway, the annual
The cover of the 2024 South Williamsport High School football program includes the statement, “Try that in a small town.” The words of the Jason Aldean hit song have nothing to do with football, but its sentiments have everything to do with life in small towns across the country. The song’s lyrics further state, “See

On the list of 2024 movies I was eager to see, Here had been ranking near the top. Not only does director Robert Zemeckis reunite with his team from Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, scripter Eric Roth) — but also, the set-up is something that, as far as I recall, has never been attempted
