  • The Jaded Eye… Fountain of Youth Sprouts Here0

    I’ve poked fun at the masses for acting like mad men and women as they bust down doorways on Black Friday. However, I scour and scout on “Sensational Saturday” as I make the trek to York, Pennsylvania to a place where it not only offers cool stuff but can also take you back in time.

  • Saluting Our Veterans0

    “We the People” are so very blessed to call the United States of America our home. The absolute freedoms we enjoy and often take for granted, are not an option for the majority of people around the world. The land and prosperity of our Nation are why everyone wants to immigrate to America, and no

  • The Bookworm Sez “Geekerella” by Ashley Poston0

    Sometimes – many times – you wish you had a magic wand. You’d change your entire life, from your room to your wardrobe, your school to your love life. Everything would be perfect forever but alas, there’s no such thing as a magic wand. Then again, as in “Geekerella” by Ashley Poston, dreams can come

  • Fall Into the Blues Fundraiser0

    In addition to cooler weather, and beautiful colors, the “fall season”, to the Billtown Blues Association, BBA, means “generosity!” Fall Into the Blues, the non-profit’s annual fundraiser, is meaningful in many ways.

  • This Week’s LION: Walter Reed – Hughesville Mayor0

    When my niece Brittany married Chris, who both worked at UPMC Susquehanna Health Hospital in Williamsport, I was very surprised when they purchased a home in Hughesville. I asked why they chose to live there, rather than a location closer to where they worked. They smiled like they were in on a secret. Hughesville is

  • Day Tripping0

    In 1865 newspaper editor Horace Greeley penned the now famous words “Go west young man.” 117 years later, although not a young man and for an entirely different reason, South Williamsport High School graduate Denise Day headed in that westerly direction and in the process carved a legendary athletic career that was again recognized with

  • Anti-Aging Habits for Your 30s0

    Your 30s are a great time of life! At least they have been for me thus far. Once you’ve hit your mid-30s, you hopefully have gained some knowledge about life and have blossomed into a better, more mature, and more polished version of yourself. However, with wisdom can come laugh lines, frown lines, and a

  • Trick-or-Treating Tips for Rural Residents0

    If someone were commissioned to paint a picture of Halloween bliss, it would probably showcase a neighborhood full of children ringing doorbells and gathering treats. Millions of children and adults participate in the annual ritual of trick-or-treating. For urban and suburban children, close-by neighbors make it quite easy to fill up sacks of candy. However,

    Last week, I broke the mold, so to speak — instead of writing about hunting, shooting, fishing or outdoor adventures, I shared something that was happening in my personal life. Today, I am happy to pen what Paul Harvey would say is “the rest of the story.” This past weekend, my family and some friends

  • This Week’s LION – Smokey Bear0

    It is something of an irony that the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in California’s history occurred during National Fire Prevention Week, October 8-14. It is also ironic that it was 70 years ago, August 1947, that one of the most well known slogans in American history, “Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires,” was

  • Under the October Sky0

    The third Saturday in October can mean just one thing in these parts — the Mummers’ Parade in Southside. Hard for me to believe this year marks the 72nd anniversary of the Autumn event.

    Imagine a small town radio station asks me to “assist” in a play-by-play Friday night football game. What would I bring to the table? Uh, I mean press booth. Before we go any further, there are opposing views on everything. Thus, for every fervent fan and parent who cherishes “Friday Night Lights,” there is a

    When Ken Burns’ latest documentary effort, dealing with the Vietnam War was shown recently on PBS, there was probably no audience with a greater interest in this documentary and how it presented the Vietnam experience than Vietnam veterans.

    Back to school time! It seems to get earlier each year. What happened to those days when you went back after Labor Day?

    “Would you please rise in honor of America for the playing of our National Anthem?” Then you look and find the American Flag, either being presented by the color guard or flying above the stadium.
