Studying is vital to academic performance. At the dawn of a new school year, students get a fresh start to improve upon or continue strong their study habits. Teachers will be rolling out their curricula, and that may feel overwhelming. However, optimizing study skills can boost confidence in school and in areas outside of the
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window — one of that director’s most consummately brilliant and entertaining films — turns 70 this year. Fathom Events honors the occasion with a special screening of the 1954 masterpiece on Wednesday, August 28th at AMC in Williamsport — accompanied by commentary from critic Leonard Maltin. Whether or not you’re able to

Each college football season is full of excitement, and the coming campaign is sure to provide its share of thrills. As summer winds down, fans anxious for the return of their favorite sport can look
Much has changed since the very first Little League World Series. The national exposure these boys and girls receive nowadays is insane. ESPN and its affiliates not only cover the entire tournament but are now televising most, if not all, of the regional games. Don’t get me wrong, folks. I am loving every moment, and
As we watched the games of this year’s Little League World Series unfold from our iHeart Media broadcast location, partner Ken Sawyer often commented favorably on the dedication of the volunteer managers and coaches and their efforts in leading their teams to Williamsport. While the Series itself is a ten-day 24-7 commitment, the time spent
It was over 70 years ago that I first set foot in the woods of Northcentral Pennsylvania and began a lifelong pursuit of hunting everything our state had to offer — from grouse and squirrels to black bears and whitetail deer. In the 1950s, the generally accepted philosophy when it came to harvesting does was
ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 You may have a renewed sense of energy and motivation right now, Aries. Capitalize on that to tackle a laundry list of projects that have been sitting on the back burner. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 Taurus, your sense of humor and quirky personality could get you a few extra
It’s the most wonderful time of the year to be a sports fan living here in the West Branch Valley. The long list of events highlighted by the 77th playing of the Little League World Series has been amazing. I don’t even know where to begin, other than I would be remiss if I didn’t
We are down to the last few days of the Little League World Series, which means the unofficial end of summer. The kids are headed back to school, and I’m sad about it all! I hate the end of summer…I don’t even get a whole new wardrobe anymore! No one buys me new sneakers, either.
As the school year gears up and the season slowly shifts, many of you may be planning some fall photo sessions. Over the next few articles, I’ll be dissecting what to wear and how to coordinate for the perfect shot to share with loved ones for years to come. First up, we’re tackling the family
As the Little League World Series rushes headlong towards Sunday’s championship game, from my vantage point behind the iHeart Radio microphone, it has been a week of personal reflection on several counts. As many of you know from past columns in this very space, Little League Baseball has been my lifelong companion. I was introduced
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 You are the master of leaping before looking, Aries, and this week is no different. You are not satisfied with hanging back and assessing the situation before acting. You’re right in the mix. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, do not pretend to be a neutral party when two people
Much love to those who are in town for the Little League World Series. The games are underway, and I continue to marvel at those smiling faces. Jensen is older, so we might not make it over to Lamade and Volunteer, but our televisions are tuned in to ESPN. I also want to give some
Obviously, the recent weather pattern has had no mercy on those of us who want to pursue a little fishing. You might be alright on a lake, but the streams and the Susquehanna River need some time to recuperate. I spent the latter part of last week at a cabin on the banks of Kettle
The Lycoming Law Association Foundation has awarded three law students, Hannah Anderson, Eli Wilk and Abigail McCoy, the Joseph L. Rider Scholarship. The Foundation established the Scholarship Fund at the end of 2023 with the intent to annually award up to three $1,000 Scholarships to County Residents attending law school full time (scheduled to finish
If you did a survey, particularly of older hunters, I bet most began their hunting days by tramping the woods in search of squirrels. They were certainly an upland game that I targeted in my early days of hunting. Today, there seems to be less interest in spending time hunting squirrels, yet there remain many
Coming back from a trip to Ohio, I entered Pennsylvania and was greeted with a very big road sign that said, “Welcome to Pennsylvania – Pursue Your Happiness.” I know our state officials who designed this welcome sign probably thought they were clever in borrowing a partial phrase from the Declaration of Independence. It is
The pride, joy, and delight felt in welcoming a newborn into the family is likely mixed with fear and nervousness. After all, your new roles as parents will last for decades to come. Breastfeeding is often thought of as a gift between birth parent and baby. Not only does it provide bonding time, but the
Welcome to everyone visiting our little corner of God’s green Earth for the 77th playing of the Little League World Series. Congrats to the teams, fans, and all involved as you complete this amazing summer journey. A tip of my cap with the American Flag on the side to Little League Baseball President and CEO
Well, y’all, it’s that time of year again! It’s a little bittersweet. I absolutely love the Little League World Series and the attention it brings to our little corner of the world, but it also means that summer is coming to a close, which always makes me sad. It feels like the older I get,
Adding one day of games in which tickets are required and celebrating two notable anniversaries are among the new, notable things that will be happening at this year’s 77th Little League World Series.

With such films as Hoosiers, Cinderella Man, Miracle, Cool Runnings and Remember the Titans, the familiar “sports underdog true story” is one of our most reliable genres — even if these tales often get embellished in the telling. Chris Raymond’s Men in White, about the saving of the Penn State football program in the wake
Getting kids up and out the door is a challenge all on its own, and on those busy school mornings when nothing seems to run smoothly, healthy breakfasts can go by the wayside. While it’s widely recognized as the most important meal of the day, that doesn’t always mean you have time to sit down
According to author Bill Bryson, the record for most allowable pronunciations in English is held by two unusual words: hegemony and phthisis. Each, he claims, can be said aloud in nine different ways. While I could not verify that online, I won’t contradict Bryson, whose bestsellers include A Short History of Everything (2003); A Walk
Even though returning to school is on the horizon and the end of summer is calling, the days are still humid and hot. And we are probably looking at a warm and sticky fall. In years past, you may have been preparing to pack up your linen items by late August, but linen is no

Earlier this month, when Landmark Conference football members gathered at Susquehanna University for its pre-season media day, the moment was positive.
