While we can still enjoy many weeks of summer weather, it is not too early to focus on fall food plots; in fact, the time could not be better to begin the process. To do it well, there is planning, research, and fieldwork to do, and with the frequent rains that we seem to be
It shouldn’t be surprising that athletic gear is becoming more prevalent in day-to-day dressing. I think any year with a summer Olympics sees an uptick in sporty apparel. This summer, with in-person learning on the horizon, folks going back to their offices, and all of us realizing we put on some pandemic pounds, sports gear
Men often will not take the time for self-care, physical activity, and mental health, which is concerning because they may end up paying for it in the long run.

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. It just seemed fitting to start this week’s column with the Little League Pledge. Like most things created by Little League Baseball, it’s ahead
A good chunk of the summer, so far, has unfortunately been a little rainier than I care for. I figure since I’ve been feeling like I’ve been living under water for the last month, plus in honor of our cover story about “The SpongeBob Musical,” it seemed appropriate to find a craft that could kill

As July catapults along at an amazing speed towards the fast-approaching month of August, there are perhaps at least two things that have been topics of conversation in area households; “I’m bored, there’s nothing to do” and “when are we going shopping for school clothes?” Regarding the latter, retailers have been more than ready, especially

“Slow and steady.” No, this is not a story about our over 50 outdoorsmen, although being slow and steady in most hunting situations probably pays off. Rather this piece is about some of our slowest and often stationary critters that we often overlook; I’m talking about turtles. One of the reasons I enjoy the outdoors
For outdoorsmen who are about to spend an increasing amount of time in the out of doors in the upcoming months, it is only a matter of time until you come in contact with ticks.

Throughout the day, every single one of us is sending and receiving messages: our lives and society function on the ability to communicate effectively.

It’s Christmas in July, and with it comes visions of perfectly trimmed trees, fragrant gingerbread houses, and Christmas revelers straight from the pages of Vogue or GQ magazine.

The 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, is finally ready to light the torch after a year’s delay. There will be no fans at the games, which without a doubt is the right call after what we have seen in the last year and a half. This protects not only the athletes but also

Normally, the spring and summer months are great for catching a variety of species from trout to bass, walleyes, panfish,
Since childhood, I have been a quote collector, and one that I have used in recent years more than any other has been by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who said, “Every organization is either living out the birth of a new vision or the death of an old one.” A more succinct quote in the same
Loyalsock Township High School Senior, Brady Dowell signed a letter of intent, on June 2, committing to run Track (Sprints and Jumping) at Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, PA. “There is a saying that ‘adversity does not build character, it reveals it,’” says Coach Matt Hill, and this could not have been more fitting for Brady.
