Wedding season is often associated with summer, but the most popular months to say “I do” can fall (pun intended) later in the year. Maybe it’s the foliage or the welcome relief from the heat, but fall weddings are definitely a refreshing change from a sweltering June outdoor wedding or an August-humid resort ceremony. However,
There’s a reason I started writing these weekly articles. I wanted to speak to the older generation, my generation, and the younger generation all at once. I want them all to know that the future is bright and that we’re doing a lot of things well. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas we need
For many people, chronic joint pain is more than uncomfortable. It changes daily life. Walking the dog, climbing stairs, or playing with grandchildren can go from enjoyable moments to daunting tasks. Over time, the things that bring us joy may slowly disappear from our routines. When joint pain reaches the point where it limits independence
Going after whitetails, especially one with a good-sized rack, is a thought that no doubt has begun to occupy the minds of a lot of serious buck hunters. Scouting is well underway, with us checking the images from our trail cameras, driving around some of our favorite haunts, and spending time in our favorite hunting
I must have been bitten by the “travel bug” at an early age. I have always been a wanderer, frequently daydreaming about my next quest or next travel and adventure destination. My years in the Air Force and then in a career as an airline pilot only compounded my lust for travel. Now, in my
It has long been recognized that the art of hitting a baseball is the most difficult thing to do in sports. Ted Williams, who many believe to be the best hitter that has ever played the game, once said, “The hardest thing to do in baseball is hit a round baseball with a round bat,
As the summer days have slipped away and fall is now upon us, let’s take a look at what we can do over the next month or so to improve our habitat for the wildlife we hope to aid through the upcoming winter months. Even as the daytime temperatures are slowly dropping as fall approaches,
The very freedoms that have enabled our Nation to achieve greatness have always created a vulnerability to be used against the law-abiding in an evil manner. Unfortunately, last week, as we remembered 9/11, the 10th of September became another day we must not forget. My thoughts and prayers go out to the wife and children
“But when people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to commit violence against that group. What we as a culture have to get back to
For the second time in two months, area film aficionados will have the opportunity to view films from gifted filmmakers. In this case, the filmmakers will be from throughout Pennsylvania and the local area. The Susquehanna Film Festival will take place this weekend, September 19-21, at the District Cinema Complex in the area formerly occupied
Even though summer has sailed into the sunset, your local word-Smith still has boating on the brain. It all started weeks ago, when Webb’s Weird Words chose to honor sailing season — along with this summer’s 50th anniversary of Jaws — by looking at vocab related to watercraft. After no less than three articles on
The last few years, I’ve really focused on the importance of taking care of myself — both physically and mentally. At some point, you hit a certain age where you realize — you can’t just do whatever you want anymore. (Does admitting that make me sound old? Probably.) This isn’t about being selfish; it’s about
After a recent closet clean-out and a mid-40s birthday, I’ve begun to consider how my personal style has changed in the last decade, after getting older, having kids, dealing with illness, and being drawn in and out of ever-changing trends. Here lately too often I’ve been standing in front of my closets full of clothes
I know that various hunting seasons are already underway, and additional opportunities will soon begin. I’m getting anxious, too, but as a dedicated fisherman, I’m also very aware that some of our best fishing opportunities are also upon us. One of my favorite fall pursuits over the years has been spending time on the Susquehanna
The statewide archery antlered and antlerless deer season will begin this year on Saturday, October 4, and as the season progresses and nears that “magical” time of the rut, bowhunters will be spending an increasing amount of time in the woods. While hunting from the ground or in a ground blind can be successful, most
The boys and I have been busy. The weather has been outstanding. Ideal conditions for golf. Thanks to Lycoming College and our friends for their support. We play year-round now. 7 events this fall and 6 in the spring. Our schedule is full. Never a dull moment with these kids. Props to Williamsport Country Club.
As Penn State’s new wide receiver Trebor Pena hauled in one of his seven pass receptions from QB Drew Allar in the Nittany Lions opening day 46-11 win over Nevada, the TV talking head remarked, “Trebor had a great season at Syracuse last year (84, catches, 941 yards, 9 TDs) but they couldn’t afford him
It was a stark contrast: in a county where corn towers overhead and apple orchards stretch as far as the eye can see, Emily Camerer’s message at the Thursday morning commissioners’ meeting was a chilling reminder of the stark reality. Emily Camerer of the Central PA Food Bank addressed officials and residents to celebrate the
Hardwood floors are coveted features in many homes. The National Wood Flooring Association says wood floors are the most environmentally friendly flooring options available. In the United States, the hardwood forests that provide flooring products are growing twice as fast as they are being harvested. Furthermore, wood floors can last for many generations and require

Whether a person battles a legitimate case of claustrophobia when confined in tight spaces or simply prefers a place to stretch out, there’s no denying the appeal of a little extra room. That’s particularly so at home, where cramped spaces can make it hard to unwind. When homeowners

Windows in a home are easily taken for granted. Even though residents look through their windows every day, it’s only when issues arise that people tend to give the windows much thought. Even if windows may not be foremost on the minds of homeowners, they are a notable component of every home. New windows also
When the summer entertaining season draws to a close, homeowners need to ensure their outdoor living areas can handle weather that’s right around the corner. Although outdoor furniture and other items tend to be durable, the impact snow, wind and ice can have on them may lead to damage over time. That is why many
Renovations around the house require an investment of time and often considerable amounts of money.

Angi, a home services website, reports the average renovation cost
Few images capture the spirit of a season as well as a family gathered around a fireplace embodies winter. Winter is indeed a time when families spend more time together indoors, and there’s no better gathering spot than around a warm fireplace. Heartwarming scenes around a fireplace are even more enjoyable when safety has been

A home is the most expensive purchase many people ever make. Buyers understand that certain costs come with home ownership. However, some of the costs associated with home ownership can catch even the most savvy savers off-guard. And in recent years, those extra costs have been surging.
