As every summer rolls around, we begin seeing a variety of wildlife showing up in our yards. Some of the wildlife is actually invited, like the assortment of birds that are attracted to our feeders, and other wildlife is interesting to see but not necessarily something you want hanging around all the time. Case in
The quaint and beautiful river town of Muncy once again is the setting for the Muncy Historical Society’s annual Quilt & Textile Show. Slated for July 14-15, visitors will have the opportunity to view antique, vintage, and modern quilts and woven textiles at the Show in the Celebration Centre and Living Water Cafe, at the
The irony of the mainstream media is that they honestly do not see how biased they are. Here is a classic example from the Associated Press (AP). Their lead sentence in a July 1st article stated, “The Supreme Court just finished issuing its biggest decisions of the term, killing President Joe Biden’s $400 billion plan
Now when you first think “travel outfit,” you may be thinking of what to pack, as in a vacation wardrobe. Sure, it’s preferable to spend time deliberating on the best summer dress for vacay cocktails or a new flattering swimsuit to wear on the beach because those are the fun parts, the reason for traveling
Sometimes it seems like the only thing that is constant is change. It sounds a bit contradictory but think about it. We graduate from school and leave home, get a job, then change jobs. We move to new areas and sometimes even move to a different state. Meanwhile, all around us, new businesses crop up,
When hunger strikes and family fun calls for a snack to keep the excitement going, take your kiddos to the kitchen to whip up a tasty treat for all to enjoy. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or watching favorite movies, turn to an ingredient like popcorn that encourages creativity. Plus, it’s a delicious way
Be sure you are buying tickets DIRECTLY from the Williamsport Crosscutters. There are literally dozens of resale sites online that try to make you think you are actually buying from the Cutters when you are not. If you purchase your tickets through a third-party resale site, you will not only pay more money for tickets
Ian Andrews and I have been friends for a long time. He is a good dude, and we both love to fish. Ian grew up on Rose Valley Lake, and that is where he currently resides. We don’t see each other much, but we follow one another online. Thrilled my bud is back using the
Weddings can be as novel or traditional as couples prefer. Couples who go the traditional route will undoubtedly include certain spotlight dances in the reception. The father-daughter dance is a staple of a wedding reception. According to the experts at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, the history of father-daughter dances can be traced back decades. The
When I saw David Koepp’s name in the closing credits of the new Indiana Jones film, that explained a lot. In particular, it explained why my wife and I loved this movie — especially the final half-hour, which is absolutely spot-on. Koepp is the veteran screenwriter whose many blockbusters have netted $3.2 billion. These include
My life-long affiliation with and enjoyment of baseball and basketball has included decades of coaching the games I love. Those years have also included several seasons of umpiring games at various levels of play. While coaching decisions are sometimes questioned by the game’s fans, such differences of opinion are often greatly overshadowed when it comes
Weddings are special events that celebrate two individuals’ love for one another. Weddings bring together friends and family to witness couples share vows and devote their lives to each other. Wedding guests recognize that certain components are commonplace in ceremonies and receptions. Perhaps you were once a ring bearer or caught the bouquet? There’s a
Over 45 years ago, a group of volunteers formed the Lycoming County Youth Livestock Committee to provide, promote and facilitate life skill development in youth eligible to show livestock in either 4-H or FFA youth livestock programs or shows. Today, there are currently seven livestock clubs in Lycoming County with 135 livestock members (including breeding,
I want to begin this column by saying that I understand that everybody wants to be right — whether it’s social media or mainstream media. They want to share their story and thoughts and make you believe what they’re saying is right. They will baffle you with knowledge, numbers, analytics, and information that supports their
Theater or Stream? I am not a huge fan of movie theaters. They are cold, the seats usually aren’t very comfy, and the snacks are expensive. I did go to a theater in State College once that had recliners that I think should become the standard for all theaters. That being said, there are some
This week we are celebrating the July 4th holiday, and one event associated with that is also taking place this week — the annual Jersey Shore Town Meeting. It is one of the highlights of the week taking place locally. This event has been taking place for more than 60 years. According to Kevin Koch,
If you had told my friends or me while growing up in western Pennsylvania that someday you could hunt elk in our state, we would have said you were crazy; after all, there were probably less than 60 in the state, and it was rare to ever spot one. I would have been even more
The first All-Star game in Major League Baseball was held on July 6, 1933, at Comiskey Park in Chicago. Since then, many a notable moment has marked the game known as the Midsummer Classic. This year’s game will be played on July 11 at T-Mobile Park, which is the home of the Seattle Mariners. The
Honey bees are an amazing asset to our environment since they pollinate almost 90% of all wild plants and 75% of leading global crops. One out of every three mouthfuls of our food depend on pollinators such as bees, and crops that depend on pollination from bees are five times more valuable than those that
The Lycoming County Treasurer’s office will be open from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, for hunters to stop in and purchase their hunting and antlerless deer licenses. The new antlerless license purchasing process allows hunters to purchase 2023-24 antlerless licenses at the same time they purchase their hunting license. The cost of
The recent almost-but-not-quite coup that popped up in Russia brings this conflict back on the public screen in America, but we should be more focused on it for other reasons. Our country is deep in the Ukrainian conflict, and yet what we really know about what is happening is quite sketchy. Our country has poured
Sometimes, it takes a minute to settle into the season and figure out its themes and trends. In my younger and more opinionated years, I’d have set up my style for the season ahead of schedule, but nowadays, I take a “wait and see” approach to seasonal aesthetics. With the summer solstice behind us, here’s
Jensen is showing some interest, and we are now playing some golf. My man is a beginner, but he is in love. We have been over to Whitey Deere a few times, and we plan to go on a summer trip. I hope to take him to all of the area’s beautiful tracks. Maybe do

By the time this reaches you, our nation’s 247th birthday celebration will be in the books, and attention focused ahead on the July vacation season. Whatever you may have chosen to mark the occasion, hopefully, it was done safely with a day filled with fun, food, and family. Harking back on my long-ago childhood days,
For many years, folks have wondered what might happen if an asteroid ever struck the earth. But with Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” there’s nothing to fear: The film doesn’t come anywhere near this planet. In fact, it’s such a weird, incomprehensible movie that for only the second or third time in 50 years of reviewing,
The month of July has been home to many historical events over the years. Here’s a look at some that helped to shape the world in July 1923. A law banning Chinese immigrants from coming to the Dominion of Canada goes into effect on July 1. The Chinese Immigration Act remained in effect until May
The number one cause of preventable death from trauma is uncontrolled bleeding. To help encourage bystanders to become trained and empowered to help in life-threatening bleeding emergencies, Stop the Bleed, a national awareness campaign was launched in 2015 by the White House. The general public’s need for this information is immense, as four out of
The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., will be the recipient of a portion of funds from the sale of “Liberry” ice cream at Eder’s Ice Cream, 2242 PA-87, Montoursville.
