Tis the season, folks. We are now getting geared for our winter sports. Yes, this is my favorite time of year. It brings back so many memories. I am no longer coaching hoops but look forward to spending many nights in the area’s gymnasiums. My son Jensen is now a sophomore. He plays basketball for
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
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
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.

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
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 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
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

TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Personal growth and self-improvement may be on your mind right now, Taurus. Set some new goals that
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
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
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
As we move into the early days of November, archery hunters start getting really serious about their buck-hunting pursuits. This is a period when bucks become more active as they begin their pursuit of willing does, and the avid archery hunter hopes to take advantage of those deer movements and activities. Hunting is not centered
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
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
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
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
When cooler weather rolls around, there is one classic outfit combo that serves both function and fashion that most everyone already has in their closet — a sweater and jeans. Any color of sweater or denim style works, as these two closet staples rise above trends or fads. In fact, this outfit combination is really
A quick reminder to all as I’m penning this column: it’s the Friday morning prior to the election. Some folks will be reading me on Tuesday as the polls are still open, and some will be reading shortly after the election has ended; I pray we have a peaceful election, that the results are known
Each November 11, our country pauses to honor the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States military.

Cold and flu season is here. The best way to battle cold and flu season is to prevent coming down with anything at all. While it’s impossible to stay entirely safe from germs, sniffles and coughs, there are a few healthy habits you can incorporate for extra protection this year. Along with the guidance you
Why do I have a question mark in the title of my story — that’s not a question but rather a statement? The reason for the question mark is because some people are wondering, “What’s a pheasant?” I moved to this area from western Pennsylvania in the early 1970s, and a pheasant was a very
They say that timing is everything, and we are entering the phase of deer activity that every archery deer hunter has been waiting for. Whether it is further defined as “the pre-rut,” “the rut,” or “the post-rut,” we are now moving into the days when the travel and rut level of deer has begun to
After teaching leadership for education, business, and political officials in Europe and Asia for a number of years, I compiled my program into a book in 2006 entitled, Ideal Leadership: Time for a Change. Ironically, Barack Obama was running for president and used “Change” as his campaign focus. Many thought I was piggybacking on Obama,

The topic has come up often in our home. Jean reflects upon the many wonderful friends and experiences we have shared over the years due to our sports involvement.
