There have been several local boxers who had some public notice beginning with Otto Schliebener, who boxed under the name “Dailey,” who fought and was knocked out in 1913 by future heavyweight champion Jess Willard, two years before Willard became heavyweight champion by defeating the
Life is strange. That is the first thing we have to realize in order to understand. It cannot be planned, calculated, or organized. Life seems to have a direction of its own of which we, the person living it, are completely unaware. At moments we get a glimpse of clarity, but it fades, leaving still
At a recent food plot and habitat improvement seminar held at Black Creek Enterprises outside of Liberty, PA, there was some great insight revealed that can make the planting of food plots much simpler and less costly than previously established methods. The first great revelation was that there is no need for a $10,000 (or
The scourge of substance abuse is one of the great problems that plague society, and when an individual triumphs and overcomes this scourge, it is time for celebration.

The initial figures have finally been released for the 2020 Census. Over the next few months, more data will be coming out, but these first statistics have some interesting items of interest. In 2020, 331 million people lived in the United States, and the population is growing, however it is the lowest recorded annual growth
With a lot of summer activities — including grass cutting — still in full swing, and plenty of warm days and nights still on the agenda, it’s doubtful that any thoughts of hunting have even begun to enter our minds-me included. To be honest, I’m still caught up in the challenge of catching more bass
The New Love Center continues to work every day to fight and end hunger as it exists in the regions it serves.

What an amazing time of year it is in our little corner of God’s green Earth. We are so very blessed to live where we do. Please take a break from all the negativity that can be found on the electronic device of your choosing. Please do not become one of those whose emotions are
I am often a last-minute writer for my column. This week I am glad that I was. Typically, even if I don’t have my column written, per se, I usually have an idea about what I want to write about. This week I was going to remind everyone to be good sports about the seating
Last year the millions of fans of the annual Little League World Series felt an aching void when it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Life on a college campus can be exciting, especially for freshmen enjoying their first taste of life away from home. As exciting as campus life can be, it also can be a bit nerve-wracking for students who have never before had to fend for themselves. Administrators and security personnel work to make school environments as
The Friends of W. B. Konkle Memorial Library in Montoursville are hosting their Dog Days of SUMMER Used Book Sales on Saturday, August 21st. We all like to relax and get away in a good book, whether it is on the Beach or your back patio. It’s time to refresh your stacks of books and
Each school year offers exciting opportunities for little learners to discover and explore new topics, make friends and master new skills. While much of the focus is on families during the back-to-school season, it’s also an important time for educators, especially those who are working with young children or are just starting their careers. These
As a youngster, no doubt many of you at one time or another played the game “Simon Says.” In the game, one player assumes the role of Simon and shouts out instructions to the other players. The other players respond only when those instructions are prefaced by “Simon says.” Players responding to instructions not prefaced

Have you ever heard of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)? Chances are you may be familiar with this treatment for divers as decompression sickness, which often occurs among deep sea divers, is one of the most common conditions treated and has been for over 80 years. But did you know that it is also useful for
I’m not an educator, but I can imagine the challenges teachers face in this day and age. Figuring out what to wear on the first day of school is pretty low on the priority list. However, just like the first day at a new job, the first day of school is also a chance to
First and foremost, I would personally like to congratulate the 16 teams who made it all the way to Williamsport for the 2021 Little League World Series.

I guess it’s a sign that I’m getting older, but it seems like changes are coming more frequently than they did in the past. As an outdoorsman involved in the business of hunting and fishing for most of my life, in my early years, it seemed like rules and regulations seldom changed much, if at
Gypsy moth caterpillars can be devastating. While their usual appetite is for the leaves of oak trees, they will gladly consume the leaves of just about any other tree as well and will even dine on pine tree needles and grass when they run out of other vegetation to devour. Over the past few years,
Several months ago, I interviewed Mike McMunn, the Director for the Lycoming County Veterans Affairs Department, in reference to the Veterans Court program. He sold me on becoming a Veteran Mentor for the program, and I was all ready to get started. The only thing I needed to enroll was my DD-214, the official discharge

I want to make this as blatantly clear as possible. The above three are driven by money, power, and beyond greed. They couldn’t care a laboratory rat’s tail about you. Anyone who tries to tell you any differently either directly benefits from the madness or has taken their five-pound bag of sugar to help the
Do you live with a picky eater? In particular, a child who thinks that they can subside just fine on chicken nuggets and mac & cheese for all of eternity? Dealing with a kid that doesn’t want to eat or try anything new, can be an exercise in frustration, but there are some things you

The festival was created by the Clinton County Arts Council and is a free admission event that is volunteer-powered but supported by many organizations, businesses, and individuals throughout the community. “We always had a multi-mission approach to not only
The media echo chamber is clamoring that the new variant of COVID should have us all shaking in fear. Yet many people in our area have commented to me how distrustful they are of the news media. One reason why I believe that is true is because of the way government of cials or media

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and the Hepburn Lycoming Little Leaguers were bounced in the PA State Tournament. Sure. It hurt. But these twelve-year-olds are quite resilient. We bounced back after lunch. They accomplished so much, and I am super proud. What a ride for these 12 “Boys of Summer.” The
