The silence that follows a moment of remembrance speaks louder than applause. On December 4th, that silence filled the Lycoming County Commissioners meeting as officials honored those who volunteer to stand between danger and the rest of us. The meeting opened with a brief recognition of the tragic November 26th attack near the White House
Ho ho ho, merry almost Christmas! You know what that means — it’s time to grab your cocoa, fluff up a cozy blanket, and shuffle over to the Christmas tree for our favorite yearly tradition. Kids, gather ’round! We’ve got something very important to talk about… Even if the snow hasn’t shown up yet, the
‘Tis the season to view the glass half full and be grateful you got to drink the other half. This applies whether you’re sipping eggnog, hot chocolate, or your favorite holiday cocktail. As you are celebrating this joyous season with family and friends, please check the political conversation and anything that may be perceived as

A while back, I wrote about leopard print, which is undeniably timeless and versatile. But there are other animal prints, such as cheetah, snake, and even cow, to experiment with styling this season. As we sally forth into winter, consider giving your standard black boots a break every so often, as the weather allows, and
Sleighbells are ringing — or is that an alarm reminding me I still have stuff to do? Ehh it’s OK. I have most of what I need to do done, everything else is between Amazon and me, and a small (OK, not too small) stop at the grocery store. OK, multiple grocery stores. It’s fiiiiine.
After last week’s piece on It’s a Wonderful Life, two readers wrote with additional info on that Christmas classic. My friend Jeff Meadows pointed out that actor Carl Switzer — best known as Alfalfa from the Little Rascals — appears not only in Wonderful Life (annoying dance-partner and swimming-pool opener), but also, quite briefly, in
Presenting yourself in the best way possible is important in life. It sets the tone for how people see you, gets you off on the right foot, and shows that you have confidence — that you’re not lazy and that you put real thought into how you carry yourself. Yes, hygiene matters, but something just
‘Tis the season, sports fans. Road trips galore. Jensen and the Williamsport Millionaires keep me busy. My son is now a junior. He is what you would call a role player. Jensen made history last week. He became the first Spencer to ever step on the floor in the second quarter. I spent most of
Every December, as the familiar melody of “We Three Kings” drifts across radio waves and fills church sanctuaries throughout America, few listeners realize they are experiencing a piece of Lycoming County history. This beloved Christmas carol, the first composed in the United States to achieve widespread popularity, carries within its notes the legacy of a
Although it may be ancient history to many, “Bowling for Dollars” was a popular TV show airing in the 1970s. The show’s format was simple; contestants could win cash and prizes based on their bowling performance. The uproar created by the College Bowl Selection Committee’s December 7 announcement of the twelve teams to participate in
Wow, the days fly by this time of year as fast as Santa and his trusted reindeer can get from one rooftop to another. As I traveled around in the snow-covered brilliance of the great place we call home, the perfect song was playing on the radio: Dean Martin’s “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” As always,
It was 11° when I woke up this morning. That can only be described as a stupid temperature. Fairly sure 11° shouldn’t even be an option for a temperature. It reminded me that this time of year, is the perfect time to stay inside, make some hot cocoa and spend time with your family. Create
The Salvation Army is widely recognized during the excitement of the Christmas season, from the sound of bellringing beside red kettles to food and toy assistance for families in need. Yet in Williamsport, another longstanding tradition adds to the joy of the season. (This article is by Lou Hunsinger, Jr. and Emily Fullop) This year
I know, I got the title of this piece backwards; it should be the opposite, “Out with the old-in with the new.” This thought came about as I was reflecting on my early hunting days back in the 60s. I came from a family that had no interest in hunting, except for my grandfather. I
With the recent arrival of our first snowfall of the season, we are gently reminded that Christmas Day is a mere two weeks away! While you may have decided on any major purchases for Christmas gifts this year, there may still be a need for suggestions for “stocking stuffers” or additional gifts under the tree.
Getting children in on the fun of decorating for the holiday season makes this time of year that much more special.

Here are some ideas to spark
The holiday season is a time for celebration, connection and plenty of delicious food. But for those managing diabetes, this time of year can also bring unique challenges. From festive gatherings to family dinners, the abundance of sweets and rich dishes can make it difficult to keep blood sugar in check. The good news? With
I think my age group is in a really cool stage of life right now. We’re “new adults,” and even though I’m almost 30, it still feels like I’m just figuring this whole adulthood thing out. I mean, technically, I’ve only been an adult for about 12 years, but I digress. What I’m trying to
Sometimes the most meaningful moments arrive disguised as inconvenience. Who would have thought that a last-minute haircut emergency would deliver one of my most treasured Thanksgiving week memories? Before diving into this story, I must pause to thank my beautiful and patient wife, Marissa, for five wonderful years of marriage, and our children, Briella and
Skincare can take many forms and looks different for and on different people. A basic routine consists of washing, moisturizing, and SPF protection, while more elaborate processes involve multiple steps, products, and, in some cases, devices. Weekly, monthly, or even yearly treatments may play a role in your skincare and be considered a bit of
A few years ago, a last-minute change of plans left us with unexpected time on our hands, and we decided to head to a South Williamsport girls’ soccer team’s district playoff game. Arriving at the match site shortly before game time, I approached the ticket counter, presented a $20 bill, and asked for two senior
Penn State is still looking. The Nittany Lions decided to fire longtime coach James Franklin back in October. The fans and alumni were furious. It was a bold move. And unfortunately, AD Pat Kraft has not found a replacement. Many of the candidates have used this opportunity to land extensions at their existing schools. The
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go across the West Branch Valley. This Christmas carol seems perfect as we head into December. The song has been recorded by many artists over the years with different musical styles. I’m still old school and like Bing Crosby’s version the best. The song
At this point, y’all know the story. Yes, I am behind. But look at it this way — it’s only the first week of December, and I’ve got plenty of time. Am I going to use that time wisely and efficiently? Probably not. But that’s fine. This is fine. Everything is fine. I don’t know
One of the enduring and classic cultural features of the holiday season will occur at the Journey Bank Community Arts Center, Lycoming College, Saint John’s School of the Arts, and the Williamsport Youth Choir, present the timeless classic – The Nutcracker Ballet on stage at the CAC on Saturday, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. and
I’m sure most hunters would agree that when it comes to deer hunting, the most exciting thing to see would be a giant trophy buck standing broadside forty yards away, and that’s especially exciting if that view is through your rifle scope. Well, as we all know, that scenario doesn’t always happen; however, I have
With the Pennsylvania black bear season in the books and our antlered and antlerless deer season now underway, it’s hard to believe it, but in just three weeks, Christmas Day will be upon us! If you are in a quandary about what to get your significant other or a sportsman on your gift list, here
The holidays are often described as “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many people, they can also be the most stressful. Between shopping, family gatherings, financial strain, travel, and end-of-year work deadlines, it’s no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed. The good news is that while we can’t always control what’s
