“What’s black & white and red all over?” asks the familiar elementary school riddle.

I am always amazed that when I am away from home, my mind constantly wanders back to Northcentral Pennsylvania — the area of my roots. I feel very fortunate to have grown
If you identify as a denim lover, like I do, then fall is the perfect time of year to acquire and experiment with new jeans. Various denim silhouettes are constantly cycling in and out of style. The changing season is an ideal time for a denim refresh or, in the case of flared jeans —

Yes. I got bumped last week. My lovely editor wrote a beautiful piece. WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS FALL? She went above and beyond. Lots and lots of words, kids. Check it out. Now Steph needed some extra space. She borrowed Jimmy’s. Who then took mine. No worries. They both asked permission and gave me props. Case
A few years ago, as Major League Baseball’s September was winding down, a friend who is a die-hard Yankees fan proclaimed, “That’s it, the season is over,” as his beloved pin-strippers were eliminated from playoff contention.

The fall turkey season is fast approaching; most WMUs open on Oct. 29, but the closing dates vary in the various units, so check your particular WMU for the closing date. Hunters may take a bearded or unbearded bird during the fall season. I know a lot of hunters will focus on bagging a bearded

Before I begin, I want to thank Jamie Spencer for allowing me to take his space this week so that I could give my space to Editor Steph. Jamie will be back next week! Shohei Ohtani is blessed with unbelievable physical skills, stature, and a baseball mind. The 6’ 4” 210 lb. gentleman is as
Before we get started this week, shout out to Jimmy for giving up his space this week! I am running a little (OK, a lot) long this week and appreciate the extra leg room for this story. By now, we all know that I am pretty infamous for the Uncompleted Fall Bucket List. I have

Three weeks ago, the Williamsport Crosscutters won their first-ever MLB Draft League Championship by defeating the Trenton Thunder 5-4 at Bowman Field in an exciting and memorable game. This brings to mind previous championships won by Williamsport’s professional baseball teams. These championship roots go back almost 120 years, when the team then known as the
The history of polling in national elections has a troubled history. Presidential polling started back in 1936 with the Literary Digest, a national magazine of the time, which sent out to their 10 million patrons a “straw” ballot asking them who they planned on voting for in the 1936 presidential election. Some two and half

It was a sun-splashed, gorgeous Norman Rockwell-type September Saturday afternoon, uniquely perfect for college football. Accordingly, we decided to take the two-hour drive to Alfred, New York, to watch grandson Tucker’s Juniata College Eagles in action. While the results were not what we had hoped for, as the host Saxons won handily, it was a

As the number of yard signs and political banners continues to grow, it’s time for me to set the record straight. This is something I often do prior to a November election. I can’t begin to tell you how happy I will be when those yard signs, banners, and all the political advertising are in
