  • The Roving Sportsman… A Trip from Hell into a Slice of Heaven…!0

    DAY FIVE: “Retribution…finally!” So much had already happened on this short, 5-day hunt that could be classified as “unique,” “once in a lifetime,” or, at least, a “memory that will last forever!” On this, the final day of the hunt, I should have been expecting nothing less. Last night, the only bowhunter in camp took

  • What to Wear to an Amusement Park0

    Summer is in full gear, and as things start opening up, you may be planning a trip to an amusement park! Spending a day or two at a theme park is not for the faint of heart, and comfort is a definite priority. Whether just for the day or a week-long vacation, there’s not much

  • Foul Balls0

    Exactly five years ago today, the Spencers were on a west coast pilgrimage. My lovely sister and ‘rents now live in West Hollywood, California. We found ourselves in the nosebleed seats of Dodgers Stadium. I guess you can say it was the usual MLB afternoon matinee. Slow, hot, somewhat crowded with stale peanuts and overpriced

    A Sandwich, Soda, and Sit Down With the Mayor of Billtown0

    I have been meaning to catch up with Williamsport’s Mayor Derek Slaughter for a while now. I have known him a long time, and of course, I wanted to talk about the City of Williamsport, but even more important was just to catch up with a friend, break a little bread and see how he’s

  • Blueberry Season0

    We are lucky to have a lot of places locally to get fresh, homegrown fruits and veggies. We are also fortunate because there are many places you can go and spend a fun day out picking your own. But once you have all those berries picked, what do you do with them? Blueberry season is

  • 75 Years Strong Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company0

    Anniversaries traditionally are celebrations of the past, but the 75th Anniversary event of the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company on June 25th was that and more — it was a vision for the future. The fire company was formed immediately after World War II, as thousands of veterans returned to the United States with a

  • Pollinators

    Pollinators0

    Pollination, the transfer of pollen from one flower to another, results in the production of vegetables, fruits, and the seeds we need to grow more plants. Bees, flies, butterflies, birds, and beetles are the pollinators, carrying pollen on their bodies and then distributing it as they move from one flower to the next. We need

  • The Roving Sportsman… A Trip from Hell into a Slice of Heaven – Part IV0

    DAY FOUR: “No country for old men!” After breakfast, the six hunters in camp sat around the dining table relating stories about their past hunting adventures, while the guides readied equipment and the horses for the evening hunt. Our mid afternoon outing was to be another horseback ride up the switchback trails to the high

  • You Don’t Like the Taste of Wild Game and Fish?0

    So, you don’t like the taste of wild game and fish? That’s a question I found myself asking several times over the past few weeks. The answer often came back that it was “gamey” or “fishy” tasting, and I fully understand, that’s not a taste I would care for either. After partaking in some poorly

  • The Monster From a Kayak0

    The Spencers just got back from a quick family vacation. We spent the past few days along Pine Creek in isolation. Teach has several good friends in her industry. One of them invited us up to her cabin. We did the exact same last year during COVID. We had such an amazing time. It was

  • Chelsea & Dakota0

    Most folks never see it, but as Williamsport Crosscutters players begin arriving at Bowman Field around 2:00 pm on game days, a pair of athletic training professionals is already at work dedicated to helping them perform at their best. Like many other things that are a first for this inaugural MLB Draft League season, the

  • Mom Style0

    My style has definitely taken a hit since becoming a mom — as it does for most women when they have a family. I’m not suggesting that moms are dowdy or unkempt, but they usually aren’t as fashionable as non-moms, which is to be expected since style gets knocked down a few rungs on the

  • Fundraising Campaign Launched for Rider Park0

    Rider Park is rightly regarded as one of Lycoming County’s, as well as one of Pennsylvania’s, great scenic and recreational treasures. Its 867 acres of private land available to the public 365 days a year for hiking, trail running, mountain bike riding, cross-country skiing, and other low impact recreational activities.

    Williamsport, PA… Trips to and from the downtown will be free on the designated Fireworks Bus route on Sunday, July 4th, 2021. Park and Ride lots are located near each of the stops to make it convenient for traveling to the downtown area during the hours of 6pm and 10:30pm. “Public Transportation will be free

  • Stand For the Flag, Kneel for the Fallen, Thank God for Our Freedom0

    There has been way too much negativity across our Nation in the last year, we need to leave it in the past and move forward full speed ahead. The United States of America is truly the greatest shining light of freedom and opportunity the world has ever seen. Our One Nation Under God must remember its

No drinking and driving and keep an eye out for friends and loved ones — including your furbabies! Cats and dogs are as

  • Set the Night to Music Fireworks0

    Last year’s July 4th celebrations seemed subdued and out of place as the “Set the Night to Music” fireworks took place at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in Hughesville; well, this year, they are back bigger and better in downtown Williamsport in the vicinity of the Hampton Inn and Wegmans on Sunday, July 4. It wasn’t

  • The Right “Caliber”0

    Anyone involved in hunting, especially big game, knows how important it is to use the right caliber of gun to take the prey you are after. You don’t use a 22-caliber rifle for hunting deer or bears, and you don’t need a 300 Winchester Mag. to bag a gray squirrel. This week’s piece, however, is

  • A Trip from Hell into a Slice of Heaven!0

    Part 3 DAY THREE: “Relief comes in different ways.” After the near-death experience the night before, sleep was hard to come by, and gathering for breakfast with the other hunters and guides could not come soon enough. Everyone’s curiosity was satisfied as I related my story of the hunt and near-tragedy with my guide, Travis,

    At one time or another, all of us at some point, have probably signed a petition. It might have been to get someone on an election ballot or showing our support for a cause or protest against one issue or another. But none of us have ever bore the heavyweight of a pen in the

  • Baseball, Hot Dogs & Apple Pie0

    Without any proven data to rely on, I would guess that there aren’t many Americans thrilled with ‘the new normal’ that is being introduced to our daily lives. It could be safely assumed that most would much prefer the pre-COVID norm that we have been living without for the past 16 months. However, glimpses of

  • This Week’s LION: Jack McGee-100 Years Strong!0

    The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners Meetings could be described as 99% mundane matters and 1% wow moments. The ‘wows’ generally catch me by surprise, such as line item 1.6, “Proclamation: Jack McKee 100th Birthday,” listed on the Tuesday, June 22nd agenda. OK, I guess it is great that a guy hits the century mark,

  • Game Conservation?0

    I have always been around hunting and shooting sports. I grew up around a shooting preserve, aiding my uncle Raymond P. Sones in the feeding and care of pheasants, chucker partridge, and bobwhite quail. For my family, hunting and conservation go hand in hand. My dad always taught me to pick my shot and not

    Getting ready for a Fourth of July celebration, whether it’s at home with your loved ones or celebrating with a few friends, doesn’t mean you have to reach for an American flag t-shirt or print. Instead, you can express your patriotism and sense of style with a variety of summer-loving looks. Here are a few

    Tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to Mr. George Hutchinson. The local real estate developer, businessman, and entrepreneur has a knack for making things better and more aesthetically appealing than he found them. He increases property value in whatever neighborhood he invests in. What triggered my thinking is what he
