The desperation of community programs across Lycoming County tells a story that goes far beyond budget spreadsheets and political maneuvering. They represent our neighbors sleeping in cars, families choosing between rent and groceries, and children wondering where their next meal will come from. Hidden homelessness defines our crisis. Unlike major cities where tent encampments make
The initial awareness of the news seemingly went in one ear and out the other. Another night of senseless violence in Williamsport resulted in the shooting of two teenagers, apparently unrelated incidents, leaving one victim dead and another hospitalized.

There I was in Lamade Gymnasium. Dutch Burch Court. Lycoming College. The locals refer to my spot as Spencer Row. I’ve sat in the same area for the past 30 years. My rents used to join me, but then they moved. Teach and Jensen will occasionally show for the weekend matinees. Not tonight. They both
Growing up — and even now — you always hear people say, “There’s nothing to do here. I wish we had a [insert whatever chain restaurant or business is trendy at the moment].” And I’ll be honest: there were times I felt that way too. But the older I get, the more I realize just
I have been clear over the years how blessed we are to live in our little corner of Penn’s Woods. This time of year, I would like to be talking about this in reference to everything that is going on around us. Veterans Day and all that we do to honor these special Americans has

Federal employees are

Leopard print is a timeless trend that has been worn by a multitude of women in various ways over the decades. It’s the rare print that can act as a neutral while also signaling a sort of femme fatale figure. It’s widely available across all price points, from bags and shoes to dresses and suits.
While at coffee the other morning with the gang, the subject of coyotes came up. One of the guys showed us a photograph of a coyote that was recently trapped near his home in the Lairdsville area.

The six-month marathon, which this year extended to the first day of November, of the Major League Baseball season is now officially history.

This ongoing crisis has become a recurring theme in these pages

As a member of the Syracuse University cross-country team, he experienced the euphoria of the 2015 NCAA national championship. But his latest run to glory came on the legs and lungs of
As we honor our veterans in the upcoming week, I would like to share with you a quote from General Colin Powell. General Powell passed away in 2021 and is now honored at the very place he spoke these words. “The Nation owes a great debt to its veterans, whose sacrifice to the Nation spans
It’s one of my favorite times of year—the in-between time. Halloween is behind us, and we have a couple of weeks until Thanksgiving. There is a chill in the air, and it’s starting to feel like it’s time to stay inside. My husband calls it “Steph makes everyone fat season” because this is also when

If there’s one garment that a majority of people consistently rely on to get dressed almost every day, it’s denim. Just about everyone wears jeans, whether they’re a piece of your workwear, what you grab to throw on with a T-shirt and sneakers, or part of a tailored blazer, blouse, and chic pair of boots
Well, first off, I obviously don’t have the answer to the title for this week’s story. If I had that answer, I would nail my buck right away every season, and I can assure you that has not been the case. Like most other hunters, I try my best to figure out where to hunt

UConn’s quarterback Joe Fagnano is trending. The Williamsport Area High School grad is having an unbelievable season. He is leading the NCAA in several offensive categories.

When the most fundamental needs of our community intersect with the complexities of government operations, transparency becomes the bridge that connects solutions to problems. The voices of early childhood educators filled the Lycoming County Commissioners meeting on October 23, 2025, as representatives from STEP highlighted a crisis that threatens the very foundation of our community’s
Each November, we “fall back” by setting our clocks one hour earlier as Daylight Saving Time ends. While gaining an extra hour of sleep may sound like a bonus, the shift can still disrupt your body’s internal clock, especially if you’re already sleep-deprived. Our circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep and wake cycles, is influenced by
As we close out October, there are so many issues that seem to bring negativity to our American Spirit. I believe in the two-party system, and Republicans and Democrats work for the American people. Lost in the world of today is the having of a beer and a sandwich together after Congress breaks. This so
Wow, can you believe it? Halloween is already here! Are you ready to dive into the festivities? Make sure you’re all set with comfy shoes and your favorite hoodie.

A couple of this year’s Pennsylvania bear seasons are now over; the archery season and the muzzleloader season have ended, but the regular firearms season will run from November 22-25.

A well-placed shot and careful field care of a deer are critical first steps to ensure great-tasting venison for the dinner table.
