    The first Super Bowl I remember watching was Super Bowl XXIV in 1990. It was the 49ers versus the Denver Broncos at the Superdome in New Orleans. Admittedly, I’ve never been a huge football fan, but I remember watching this game because, for whatever reason, my mom has always been a Broncos’ fan and was

    Ken Hunter

    The rest of the “frozen chosen” and I are still looking forward to some ice fishing, but the up and down temperatures are delaying our ventures out onto local lakes. I still hope to get on the ice in the next two or three weeks, but you can bet that safety concerns come first. Certainly,

  • County Hall Corner: 2019: Not an “Off” Year0

    Larry Stout

    In political parlance, an election year that does not have any gubernatorial or national offices on the ballot is considered an “off” year. This means that the turnout will be expected to be low, as all the races are for the most local, and these generally do not arise much passion in the general electorate.

    Quietly, in the peace and solitude of Wildwood Cemetery, dozens of volunteers devoted their time last Saturday, December 14 to pay their respects to local veterans as part of the annual Wreaths Across America tribute to our fallen heroes. “Our observance was held in conjunction with hundreds of other such events going on in local

    As the calendar flips to December this week marks the start of the high school basketball season. The action switches from the outside environs of football stadiums to the smaller indoor gymnasiums. The National Anthem and school fight songs will still be played but perhaps it might be a good idea if a recording of

    Dave Bellomo

    If your house is like mine during the holidays, it is filled with friends, family, and lots of food. I have been celebrating Thanksgiving, in particular, with my wife’s family for more than 20 years and it involves getting together a group that sometimes exceeds 120 people. There are tables of turkey with stuffing, potatoes,

    The Vegetable Side Dish0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    In 1621, Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast. Fast forward almost 400 years, and Thanksgiving still is a feast, but we’ve added football, euchre, and drinking wine in the afternoon. At least those have become the traditions for my husband’s family in Ohio, where we celebrate Thanksgiving. If, like me, you

    “Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, they’re blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind.

    So, on October 26th, I had the amazing chance to go ‘Over the Edge’ as part of a fundraiser benefit the YWCA, the YMCA and the Williamsport Educational Foundation. With 60 or so rappellers taking the ‘leap’, over $50,000 was raised! I had a terrifyingly fun time doing my rappel. You don’t really think about

    Service members make numerous sacrifices in defense of their countries. While the debts to service members may never be the kind that can be repaid in full, paying tribute to veterans, on Veterans Day and throughout the year, can be a great way to show them just how much their efforts are appreciated.

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Rappelling 105 feet down the side of the William Hepburn High Rise at 400 Lycoming Street in Williamsport, does not sound like your average fundraiser, but that is exactly what the officials from three area non-profit organizations hope when the “Over the Edge” fundraiser is held this Saturday, October 26th as brave and generous individuals

    For 360-pound Adam Grimes II, his decision to enter for PA’s Strongest, a strongman style event for men and women, was last minute in training terms. The 19-year-old only had six weeks to train for the event. Due to his size, he has always had an interest in strength training but only recently got the

    In May of 1919, a group of men who had served in the American Expeditionary Forces in the Great War had returned from France and met in St. Louis to create an advocacy organization for returning vets such as themselves.

    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

    Like all things in life, fashion is cyclical. What’s in one day, is out the next. What was once out, may very well come back into style.

    One of the most challenging things about going to the gym and exercising is finding the time and motivation to do it. The second biggest challenge is how not to look or smell like a total mess after your workout. Ideally, you’d be able to take a full shower, style hair, and apply makeup after

    Larry Stout

    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.

    With summer well under way and with lots of outside activities to enjoy, little thought is generally given to reading.
