The current protests happening on campuses around the country are deja vu, but hopefully, they will not repeat an event that took place 54 years ago.

On a surface level, all sunscreens have the same task: To minimize skin’s exposure to sunlight and, in doing so, reduce the signs of skin damage and lower the risk of skin cancer. However, not
Spring is here. The days are getting longer, temperatures are rising, and the birds are singing. The cold, inclement weather we’re used to in the winter causes many of us to decrease our activity and stay indoors. Though this sounds cozy and is a better choice than walking on slippery surfaces and chancing a fall,
I know, I know, it’s me again. I’m sure you would all prefer to see Jimmy’s smiling face here, talking about what’s happening worldwide and at home. Unfortunately, he is feeling under the weather so you are stuck with me again. I’m not going to get into all that is going on in the world,
Due to unforeseen circumstance, the Lycoming County United Way Ride for Strides Event has been cancelled. Please continue to support the LCUW in all the amazing work they continue to do for and in our community.

Have you ever watched a super-twisty movie that wound up being too smart for its own good? I’m afraid that’s the case with Apple’s thriller Argylle, currently streaming on a variety of platforms. There is enough good stuff here to keep the film from feeling like a total waste of time; yet the script eventually
Seven has been called a magic number. There are seven days a week, seven colors in the rainbow, seven musical notes in a scale, seven wonders of the ancient world, seven continents, seven major seas, and even psychologists tell us we can only take in seven ‘bits’ of information at one time. So, it is

If you missed my column last week, my apologies. It was an example of why you shouldn’t procrastinate and wait until the last minute. You should always allow yourself some extra time and try to finish a job ahead of schedule; of course, I waited until the last minute to write my article. I often

But while the last phrase is technically accurate here, that “indestructible man” was in fact Buster Keaton — a silent-film
