ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 You might feel like you have extra energy to chase goals and take bold actions this week, Aries. Your natural drive will be strong. Find opportunities to assert yourself in new areas. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 You may feel compelled to slow down and nurture your inner self this
March is a beautiful month for many reasons. I am getting excited to fish. The golf season is here, and I will devote as much time to watching as much basketball as I possibly can. MADNESS baby. NBA. College. High School. It doesn’t matter. I even get stoked when I spot a few kids hooping
I think (or at least I hope!) that winter temperatures are finally beginning to move upward. If you are like me, you are probably itching to get outside instead of just sitting around waiting for next fall for the hunting seasons to begin! This time of year is great for addressing some key tasks that
A couple of years ago, my wife and I started placing trail cameras at various locations around our home and in several locations in nearby wooded areas. What an eye-opener; I knew wild critters were roaming around out there, but I had no idea that so many of them would end up roaming through my
Lent is often seen as a time of sacrifice and fasting. However, in recent years, I’ve approached these 40 days as a time to renew wayward resolutions from New Year’s. If you had hoped to start a new hobby, change your diet, enact a self-care practice, or for any (better) changes you hoped to bring
Yeah, yeah…not Jimmy. Listen. Jimmy is over winter and over February, so he’s decided to hibernate until March officially arrives. So, he’ll be back next week. In the meantime, you are stuck with me. When we talked about me taking his space for the week he asked if I had anything near and dear to
The Lock Haven YMCA serves the needs of people in the Greater Lock Haven area and throughout Clinton County in many different ways. Like any non-profit organization, it relies heavily on the public’s fundraising support. One unique way that the Lock Haven YMCA raises these funds is through its “Black and White Ball.” The “Black
For over a century, the New York Times has used the slogan, “All the news that’s fit to print.” This catchphrase was created by the owner, Adolph S. Ochs, in 1896 to distinguish his newspaper from others that published lurid and inaccurate stories. The intention was needed because, quite frankly, we depend on media sources
It wasn’t how I had planned to spend my Valentine’s weekend Saturday. After a low-key celebration of the festivities a day earlier, a few scheduled errands and household chores fell victim to a bevy of competitive college basketball games filling the TV screen. From noon to well into the evening, those chores that were completed
Freedom is often cited as a benefit of retirement. Many professionals look forward to the day when they retire and have more free time and the freedom to spend that time however they choose. Of course, the opportunity to spend retirement how one sees fit typically requires considerable financial freedom. Financial planning for retirement is
Williamsport’s Parker Johnson and I go back many moons. He has grown into an extraordinary young lad. Johnson is wicked smart, and he is very determined. His hard work is paying off on the gridiron. I grew up with his father, Brett, on Lincoln Avenue. His grandparents, Greg and Debbie, are outstanding people. They have
Physical changes are a normal byproduct of aging. Gray hairs and less elastic skin that contributes to wrinkles may be among the more notable physical signs of aging, but older individuals also may note their vision is not what it once was. Diminished vision can be a byproduct of various conditions. Aging individuals who have
For the serious hunter, there are still some opportunities to get that rifle or shotgun back out into the countryside for several different small game species. This recent winter weather, however, will certainly make hunting a challenge. I’m sure I don’t have to remind you, readers, that ice has taken over much of our outdoor
Being from the Pennsylvania Wilds, it always tickles my funny bone when I see high fashion’s take on rural-coded trends or traditional country styles. However, in a world of fast fashion and quick trend cycles, it can be a comfort to get back to timeless, classic pieces. Hence, the resurgence of countrycore, defined by barn
Spring training has begun, and the month of March is in sight. This can mean only one thing: it’s time for that column that so many of our hunters and outdoorsmen have been waiting to see. We have the results for our 17th Annual Webb Weekly Uncle Ron’s Monster Buck Contest. Before I get to
The C. S. Lewis Institute is coming to Central PA. With branches in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia — along with 11 other states, plus such countries as Ireland, Japan and Kenya — CSLI was named for the British writer whose radio talks and bestselling novels made him one of the 20th century’s most beloved Christian figures.
The month of February is Black History Month. It celebrates all African Americans’ history, struggles, and accomplishments. It is important to shine a light on some of the significant and notable things about African Americans and their important and interesting role in Lycoming County’s history. No one knows for sure when the first African Americans
Charles Portis is one of a kind. Best known for his 1968 novel True Grit — twice adapted for the screen — Portis was born in 1933 and lived to age 86, passing away five years ago (Feb. 17, 2020); yet he wrote only four other novels and is now all but unknown in the
Major props to the Jersey Shore Bulldogs and the Loyalsock Lancers. The girls’ afternoon showdown was outstanding. It was a great idea that required lots of planning. Kudos to the administrations. Both teams played at 1:30 p.m. on Monday. The stands were packed with Jersey Shore students. The game was sort of like a school
The perusal of recent help-wanted ads in local media outlets underlines what can be a difficult challenge for area school districts seeking individuals to coach their various athletic teams.

That’s right, I’ve been a “hunter” all my life. Yes, I’ve been involved in hunting ever since I was a kid in junior high school, but to be honest, my only interests are not just in bagging a deer or turkey every year, but I also enjoy seeing and encountering all kinds of wildlife. You
Throughout Pennsylvania and neighboring states, we are at the peak of the coyote breeding season. That means that we are in a prime time of the year to hunt one of our state’s most prolific predators. Both males and females are out and about during daylight hours more than usual, working up an appetite not
Winter weddings, while unconventional, can be quite magical. The season is primed to embrace so many elements of romance: roaring fires, snow-blanketed landscapes, crimson blooms, winter white cozy chic fashion, and so on and so forth. But there are also the challenges of darker days, cold nights, slush, snow, and the human inclination to not
I believe that Ronald Reagan gave us more of the best quotes about our country than any other president. As I was thinking about President’s Day, I remembered a quote by him, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be
With President’s Day approaching, I have heard from many of you waiting for my column and thoughts about President Trump’s first month in the White House. The most interesting thing is as I engage people in conversation, I either know or they inform me what political party they are registered with. I think the mainstream
Valentine’s Day is upon us, and love is in the air! Or maybe that’s just the smell of desperation mixed with discount chocolate and regret. Either way, if you’re looking for a date this February 14th, I have compiled the absolute best* advice to ensure your Valentine’s Day is as romantic and memorable as possible*.
Shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts for men can be difficult. You want to get something thoughtful that they like or can, better yet, use, not just some cheesy, heart-shaped throwaway. Plus, if you’re anything like me, you want your gift-giving level to be recognized and for him to reciprocate at that same level. Here’s a
Hopefully, football fans have recovered from any Super Bowl hangovers and the realization that their football fix will have to wait until March 28, when the United Football League will kick off its 2025 season, introducing Friday Night Football to the airwaves. However, despite Punxsutawney Phil’s unwelcome prediction of an extended winter, spring is in
