Through the years, Lycoming County’s high schools have produced some high-flying and high-scoring girls’ basketballers, but perhaps none has been as distinguished as the Jersey Shore Bulldogs’ Peyton Dincher. In her recently completed high school career, she scored more than 2,000 points, a total that is to be celebrated for sure. She will take her
It’s hard to believe, but some of my ice-fishing buddies were still walking on a frozen lake the first week of March, and now some of us are thinking about donning a pair of chest waders and heading to a nearby stream for some trout fishing. Those streams are already being stocked with some pretty
Time is our most valuable asset. In everything we do, we must constantly consider how best to use our time. When it comes to habitat improvement, one of the best uses of our time is to locate and care for old apple trees and add new apple trees that will provide years of production that
If you’re wondering which type of denim will serve you best as we head into spring, look no further than high-rise, wide-leg jeans. These are full-length jeans with a trouser-like wide leg and a high rise. I know that wide-leg jeans can be intimidating if you’re not used to wearing them, which is why the
As we get ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 2025 with the shillelagh and shamrock, it is good to note that the Irish have been a part of the Williamsport area from its very beginnings. The founder of Williamsport, Michael Ross, bears an Irish surname, even though it is reported he may have been born
One of the most valuable community assets is the local library. It is the one and only place that truly has something there for everyone of all ages. It is peaceful. It is friendly. And best of all, it is free. However, like almost everything else in our society these days, libraries have lost their
Now nearly 200 years old, Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band has announced a new Endowment Fund to help the group continue its popular slate of free local concerts. “Never before has the band’s existence to continue been directly threatened,” says Repasz treasurer and past president Nancy Eischeid. “Previous to COVID, our 10-18 concerts every summer provided

There is light at the end of the tunnel of winter’s unwelcome grasp of the past several months. Daylight savings time has arrived. Major Leagues Baseball debuts its 2025 season next week with the Dodgers and Cubs meeting in Tokyo, with baseball’s other 28 clubs swinging into action on March 27. Locally, the high school
Hello, West Branch Valley; I’m in agreement with the meteorological community; spring begins on March 1st. And that is worth celebrating with the winter we’ve had. I wish it were possible to have all the cheerleaders across our area doing the old-school “let’s get fired up” cheer for you as you begin reading my words.
Alright, y’all — March is officially here! We’ve (hopefully) made it through the cold, dreary winter, and now we’re stepping into longer days, warmer weather (hopefully), and plenty of reasons to celebrate. Whether you’ve been counting down to spring or just need a fresh vibe shift, March is the month for it. Spring is Spriiiinging!
It is that time again for one of the area’s most significant and effective fundraisers benefiting local nonprofit organizations — “Raise the Region.” This event will be held on March 12 and 13 and offers a direct way for you to support your favorite nonprofit.

I think (or at least I hope!) that winter temperatures are finally beginning to move upward. If you are like me, you are probably itching to get outside instead of just sitting around waiting for next fall for the hunting seasons to begin! This time of year is great for addressing some key tasks that
A couple of years ago, my wife and I started placing trail cameras at various locations around our home and in several locations in nearby wooded areas. What an eye-opener; I knew wild critters were roaming around out there, but I had no idea that so many of them would end up roaming through my
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, yet many people miss its early warning signs. Some symptoms are subtle — recognizing them early can lead to earlier intervention, making treatment and management easier and more effective. Common Early Symptoms Heart disease doesn’t always begin with
Lent is often seen as a time of sacrifice and fasting. However, in recent years, I’ve approached these 40 days as a time to renew wayward resolutions from New Year’s. If you had hoped to start a new hobby, change your diet, enact a self-care practice, or for any (better) changes you hoped to bring
My hat is off to PA State Representative Jamie Flick for sending out a flier to his constituents reminding them that by May 7th of this year, we will need a passport or Real ID to board a plane, enter a military base, or a federal facility that requires identification at the door. Until now,
Among the proverbs often kicked around is one traced back to Thomas Fuller in 1732 pertaining to the arrival of March weather. Referring to the month as coming in like a lion and departing as a lamb, it depicts a cold, windy, snowy start, eventually giving way to glimpses of spring’s coming beauty and warmth.
March is a beautiful month for many reasons. I am getting excited to fish. The golf season is here, and I will devote as much time to watching as much basketball as I possibly can. MADNESS baby. NBA. College. High School. It doesn’t matter. I even get stoked when I spot a few kids hooping
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 You might feel like you have extra energy to chase goals and take bold actions this week, Aries. Your natural drive will be strong. Find opportunities to assert yourself in new areas. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 You may feel compelled to slow down and nurture your inner self this
“What book has given me greater pleasure in the last five years? Or in the last twenty?” asked writer Roald Dahl some decades ago. He was referring to True Grit, a 1968 bestseller that was successfully adapted twice for the movies. That absolutely enchanting book — which legendary editor Robert Gottlieb said needed virtually no changes
Yeah, yeah…not Jimmy. Listen. Jimmy is over winter and over February, so he’s decided to hibernate until March officially arrives. So, he’ll be back next week. In the meantime, you are stuck with me. When we talked about me taking his space for the week he asked if I had anything near and dear to
The Lock Haven YMCA serves the needs of people in the Greater Lock Haven area and throughout Clinton County in many different ways. Like any non-profit organization, it relies heavily on the public’s fundraising support. One unique way that the Lock Haven YMCA raises these funds is through its “Black and White Ball.” The “Black
Being from the Pennsylvania Wilds, it always tickles my funny bone when I see high fashion’s take on rural-coded trends or traditional country styles. However, in a world of fast fashion and quick trend cycles, it can be a comfort to get back to timeless, classic pieces. Hence, the resurgence of countrycore, defined by barn
It wasn’t how I had planned to spend my Valentine’s weekend Saturday. After a low-key celebration of the festivities a day earlier, a few scheduled errands and household chores fell victim to a bevy of competitive college basketball games filling the TV screen. From noon to well into the evening, those chores that were completed
For over a century, the New York Times has used the slogan, “All the news that’s fit to print.” This catchphrase was created by the owner, Adolph S. Ochs, in 1896 to distinguish his newspaper from others that published lurid and inaccurate stories. The intention was needed because, quite frankly, we depend on media sources
Williamsport’s Parker Johnson and I go back many moons. He has grown into an extraordinary young lad. Johnson is wicked smart, and he is very determined. His hard work is paying off on the gridiron. I grew up with his father, Brett, on Lincoln Avenue. His grandparents, Greg and Debbie, are outstanding people. They have
Freedom is often cited as a benefit of retirement. Many professionals look forward to the day when they retire and have more free time and the freedom to spend that time however they choose. Of course, the opportunity to spend retirement how one sees fit typically requires considerable financial freedom. Financial planning for retirement is
Physical changes are a normal byproduct of aging. Gray hairs and less elastic skin that contributes to wrinkles may be among the more notable physical signs of aging, but older individuals also may note their vision is not what it once was. Diminished vision can be a byproduct of various conditions. Aging individuals who have
For the serious hunter, there are still some opportunities to get that rifle or shotgun back out into the countryside for several different small game species. This recent winter weather, however, will certainly make hunting a challenge. I’m sure I don’t have to remind you, readers, that ice has taken over much of our outdoor
