Our teenage years and early twenties are a pivotal time of change in our lives. Young adults are simultaneously transitioning educationally or vocationally, legally, socially, and emotionally. Young adults take on the responsibilities of becoming an adult and navigating life, and managing health and wellness are a big piece of the life puzzle. From updating
I remember a few years ago; the Pennsylvania Game Commission asked me to produce a cover featuring bats for their Game News magazine. As a wildlife artist, I enjoy painting all kinds of wildlife, but I’ll admit that bats were not on my list of things to do; after all, who would ever want a
The Uptown Music Collective is pleased to announce the awarding of 11 scholarships for the non-profit school of music’s 2022-2023 school year. Totaling $17,325, an additional $4,725 has also been added to the Collective’s Financial Aid Fund. Funding was made possible through the generous donations of the local community, including both individual and corporate donors.
Tragically, every year as the hunting season gets underway and the “army” of Pennsylvania hunters hits the woods, unpleasant discoveries are made. As these hunters travel deeper into the woods than normal in pursuit of small or big game, the chances are all-too-real that they may come across a hiker or camper that has passed
The Williamsport Crosscutters have announced that Dave Bresnahan, the mastermind behind “The Great Potato Caper” will be appearing at Muncy Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field on Wednesday, August 31 when the Cutters host the Trenton Thunder at 6:35pm. On that night the team will celebrate the 35th anniversary of “The Great Potato Caper”, when
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. As the 75th Little League World Series begins, the Little League Pledge seemed like the perfect pitch to begin my article. After playing a
I always consider the Little League World Series to be the unofficial end of summer. Back to school is right around the corner and the LLWS is an amazing way to finish off summer vacations. I’m so excited to see the Little League World Series in its traditional form. It will certainly be incredible to
This year’s annual Little League World Series is special on several fronts. It marks the return of international teams to the Series after a three-year hiatus. It also marks the expansion of the tournament field, going from 16 to 20 teams participating. But perhaps most interestingly, this year marks the 75th anniversary of the LLWS,
I would personally like to congratulate the 20 teams who made it all the way to Williamsport for the 2022 Little League World Series. This is my favorite time of year as our lovely backyard provides the backdrop to one of the greatest sporting showcases. I love the entire tournament and can’t wait to head

Two weeks ago, the baseball world lost someone who was probably the preeminent baseball announcer — longtime radio and TV announcer, Vin Scully. His death has been widely mourned but perhaps not more so than the fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers, with whom he served as their prime announcer for 67 years, stretching back
In celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Little League Baseball® World Series this August, Little League® International is excited to welcome one of its most notable graduates, Todd Frazier, into the Little League Hall of Excellence. “More than 20 years since he helped lead the Toms River East Little League team to the 1998
As the Little League World Series returns to Williamsport, let’s take a look at some ‘Fact Facts’ about Little League and the Little League World Series, courtesy of Little League Baseball. Little League® was founded in 1939 by Carl E. Stotz in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Little League is currently headquartered in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on the
What a summer we are having friends. They say April is the cruelest month, but I’d vote for August with this heat and humidity. Even when the temps aren’t so high, the weight of moisture in the air may drive those of us with longer locks to the hairdresser for a chop. But if you
Little League® International is pleased to announce that Jenny Dalton-Hill will be enshrined into the Little League Hall of Excellence this August, becoming only the seventh woman to earn the highest honor that Little League can bestow. “Since her time on the Little League fields, to her incredible career as a baseball and softball player
An interesting addendum to the East Third Street/Old City Revitalization Project that was highlighted in this column last week was the objection to the process given by Commissioner Scott Metzger at the close of the Thursday, August 4th meeting. His comments were quite poignant and hit pretty hard as both commissioners Mirabito and Mussare apologized
Little League® Baseball and Softball is pleased to announce a new partnership with Barilla, the world’s leading pasta producer, ahead of the 2022 Little League Baseball® World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The partnership, inclusive of product sampling as well as on-site experiences using the Little League World Series mobile app, combines a family-friendly event with
I would have enjoyed “Bullet Train” a whole lot more if it weren’t so outrageously violent. It’s like someone took a decent script and handed it to Tarantino—except that director David Leitch seems to want to out-Quentin Quentin. Which is too bad, because the plotting is unusually strong for what seemed like a standard actioner
If you like to fish, now might be a good time to concentrate your efforts on a lake and a good target would be panfish. The title “panfish” is often used to describe several different fish species. I think the name may have come from the fact that several will fit nicely into a frying
Using the internet and wireless devices seems like second nature in our modern lives, but did you know that as many as 800,000 Pennsylvanians, or 6% of the commonwealth’s population, does not have access to broadband internet? These individuals and families lack the same connectivity options and technological opportunities as those with fast, strong, and
I believe that if you grew up in Lycoming County or have moved and now reside here, you are indeed lucky. I had the good fortune to have lived in the area from birth through my college years and have, for the past 22 years, resettled in the rolling hills of North Central Pennsylvania. For
Embarking on a ten-hour car ride returning from a relaxing week in Tennessee’s Great Smokey Mountains, the Virginia hillside passed by, and country tunes were emanating from the car radio. But in reality, I was a bit oblivious to both. I didn’t realize it at the time, and I hadn’t heard the song in years
Since we don’t have term limits in Washington, you would think President Biden and all his cronies would understand just how fragile America’s freedom truly is. They lived through 9/11 in 2001. They witnessed the horror of that day and felt the emotions of our Nation being attacked and shaken to its very core. This
I think it’s safe to say that it’s tough out there today. There is so much going on in the world — drugs, rape, murder, poverty, hunger, abuse, insane inflation, racism, sexism, the rest of the -isms, health concerns, money concerns, trying to find enough hours in the day to get everything done that needs
The Lock Haven Jams Music Festival is back. The Clinton County Arts Council is sponsoring the three-day event that will begin Friday, August 11th, at the Roxy Theater in Lock Haven with ‘Rockin’ the Roxy.’ Tickets are required for this part of the festival and can be purchased, at a discount, in advance, online at
Effective August 8, 2022, through August 14, 2022, the W.B. Konkle Memorial Library plans to be closed in order to move to a temporary location, 17 Pierce Lane, Montoursville, PA 17754. The library plans to reopen August 15, 2022, at its temporary site. If moving logistics take less time, the library will resume regular hours
July 17, 1996, is one of the darkest days in local history. That is the day that 16 Montoursville High School students and five adult chaperones were killed in the explosion and crash of TWA Flight 800. In an effort to reverentially commemorate and remember them, a special Flight 800 Memorial Gardens was erected in
I’ll always savor long summer days, but as back to school draws near and autumn is faintly visible on the horizon, I’m ready for a mood shift to the cooler days of a crisp fall. With any change in the season, I’m looking ahead to some of this year’s must-have trends. Sure, not all trends
A very special guest came to the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on Thursday, July 28th — Lycoming College President, Kent Trachte. He came to ask the commissioners to approve a grant for a new 165-stall parking structure which is part of the East Third Street/Old City Revitalization Project. The presence of Dr. Trachte magnified the
Two weeks ago, I rhapsodized over “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” the new release about a widowed British cleaning woman; then, in our last issue, I reviewed the online documentary, “What Is a Woman?” Noticing a trend, I decided this week to continue focusing on females — with a half-dozen films from my book on
