  • International Literacy Day0

    Before I get started, I just want to thank Jimmy for giving me his space this week. Literacy is an issue that is important to both of us and that, coupled with Hunter’s Thursday night football game at UConn (#GoHuskies), we decided that I get to kick off (pun intended) this week’s issue. According to

    The Bookworm Sez: “Where the Lost Dogs Go: A Story of Love, search, and the Power of Reunion” by Susannah Charleson0

    The panic can’t be described. Your dog is missing. How did he get out? Where did she go? Most importantly, where is he now and how can you ever hope to find him? Do you run outside, call the neighbors, call her name? That panic is horrible, so be prepared by reading “Where the Lost

  • County Hall Corner: Grass is Greener Where?0

    Lycoming County Commissioner Tony Mussare made an interesting comment at a recent meeting stating that it is not unusual for him to be contacted by Lycoming County natives who have left the area, but still follow what is happening back here. It is not a great surprise, however. A rather unknown fact about Pennsylvania is

  • The Roving Sportsman… Small Game = Big Opportunities0

    Throughout most of Pennsylvania, you will tend to find that most hunters focus their time and attention on big game hunting – pursuing our whitetail deer, black bear and wild turkeys. It seems that fewer hunters these days spend time in the woods in pursuit of our small game, and they are missing some great

  • The Class of 2020 Kicks it Off0

    A welcome back to school to all students, especially the Class of 2020. Growing up when I did, that almost sounds like a science fiction movie of the day. The title probably something like “Space Odyssey 2020” or maybe “Halloween 2020.” Jason’s grandson returns to terrorize high school graduates working a summer camp before they

  • The Roving Sportsman… Tasty Trout0

    Having been fortunate enough to not only catch, but also bring back from a recent trip to northern Quebec, several dozen brook trout, I was anxious to see just how good they would taste. The trip itself was very special, requiring 24 hours on the road and then a flight into the lake via floatplane.

  • Memories of Canning0

    There was a knock at the door. There stood my Pap with a plastic bag full of veggies. “Hey honey! Now, I’m not going to stay, but I wanted to drop these off to you. I thought you could use them.” He was always bringing me produce. How my Pap, Floyd Liddick, loved to garden.

  • The Bookworm Sez: “Dracul” by Dacre Stoker & J.D. Barker0

    It was just a little scratch. You wouldn’t have even noticed it, except for the blood – and there was a lot of that. A surprising amount, in fact, for such a small scuff on the side of your wrist, the end of your finger, the top of your thigh, or, as in the new

  • Do Fish See Color?0

    I was leafing through my Bass Pro/Cabela’s fishing catalog the other day and, as usual, I was in awe of the vast number of lures being made available to fishermen these days. Even more interesting was the vast number of lure colors and patterns showing up on page after page. Of course, there were many

    “I trust in God. I love my country and will respect its laws. I will play fair and strive to win. But win or lose, I will always do my best.” These words of the Little League Pledge become even more powerful when recited by young ballplayers. The timing just after our National Anthem, and

    One of this era’s greatest ambassadors of hunting and outdoor activities is Steven Rinella. Several years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Harrisburg Great Outdoor Show, and it was a real pleasure to spend a few minutes with him talking about his TV show and the number of books he has

  • Spin or Cast?0

    Spin or cast? What am I talking about? I’m talking about the use of an open-face spinning outfit versus using a so-called bait-casting outfit. Actually one isn’t better than the other, but instead, they both have their place in the fishermen’s arsenal. There is little doubt that the open-face outfit is the most popular and

  • This Week’s LION: Steve Brady and the Covation Center0

    Ask many people what their perfect job would be, and they would respond to own their own business. The idea of being one’s own boss is appealing, but the reality is that simply because a person has a valuable skill or talent, it doesn’t mean they have the knowledge necessary for running their own business.

    Grocery lists aren’t what they used to be. Or perhaps I should say they’re inherently different than they were before the advent of the smartphone. People no longer simply jot down a comprehensive list of the sorts of things they need with regard to food, toiletries, and paper goods. Instead, they “tell” their phones what

    I recently read an article in an outdoor publication that said there are so many eagles nesting in Pennsylvania that it is becoming too difficult for the Pennsylvania Game Commission to come up with an accurate count.
