Oh, where to begin? Hepburn Lycoming just advanced in the State Tourney. We had a lengthy battle with Hollidaysburg. The “Boys of Summer” nipped the Tigers 8-7 in 8 innings. It was a fantastic game. Both teams were solid. What an atmosphere. Back and forth. It was amazing. Briar Persing did some major damage. He
It all started innocently enough. Jean and I were watching a baseball game on the tube when she said to me, “You know there is one MLB park we haven’t visited.” “What are you talking about,” was my reply. “Buffalo,” she responded. “Isn’t that where the Blue Jays are playing their games?” She had me

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.

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. Participating in physical hobbies, journaling, or getting more sleep are a good start for self-care, but most importantly you need to schedule your annual checkup. While
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
Each summer, area theater students produce and present a theater production at the Community Arts Center in Williamsport. This year’s Summer Stock production will be “The Sponge Bob Musical” to be presented July 29, 30, and 31. The production is directed by Lycoming College Theatre Professor Dr. C. Austin Hill, who directed the 2019 Student
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. Dashing looks, snowy white teeth, and absolutely perfect hair can only indicate one thing: It’s time for a sugary sweet helping of Hallmark Christmas movies. Unless your
Throughout the day, every single one of us is sending and receiving messages: our lives and society function on the ability to communicate effectively. There was a day, not so very, very long ago, when communication focused on seeking clarity between the sender and receiver of information. To communicate well meant that both parties sought
Following the season when everything shut down, the Community Arts Center gears up for the upcoming season of shows during the 2021 Fall Season taking place on the stage in downtown Williamsport. More shows to be announced at later dates for the upcoming season. “We are so excited to be able to have shows here
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
It is a busy summer for the Muncy Historical Society as they continue to have a high profile in the community. On Saturday, August 7 at 7 p.m. They will be hosting the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra in the sixth annual “Pops at Pepper Street.” And on Saturday, August 14, beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the
The entire county is buzzing. The kids from Hepburn Lycoming keep on winning. We punched another ticket this past weekend. Claimed our very first Section 3 Championship. The boys and I are now heading to the 11 & 12 Major Boys Pennsylvania State Tournament. Hepburn is one of eight teams in the Commonwealth that are

Have you ever had a good pair of leather shoes? Have you ever gone a few months (or years) without conditioning or polishing them as you continue to wear them every day? How did they look? Well, consider your skin like leather. If skin is not taken care of over time, cracks, deep crevices, and

“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. Whether you are fishing at your favorite mountain stream, preseason scouting for this coming fall, or working on food plots
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
The Fourth of July has come and gone, but there is still plenty of summer ahead. That means plenty of chances for bar-b-ques, picnics and get togethers. Since these are usually done potluck-style, I thought I would share with y’all my favorite go-to for potlucks. This recipe is simple, easy to throw together and buying
South Williamsport native Robert Porter Allen (1905-1963), was at one time one of this country’s leading naturalists, serving as president of the National Audubon Society. He is credited with helping to save the Roseate Spoonbill and the Whooping Crane. His childhood experience birding in Sylvan Dell’s large wetland influenced his career in ornithology. Allen’s innovative
So, the boys and I are still buzzing. The past few weeks have been nothing short of amazing. We have experienced all kinds of different emotions. It has been an unforgettable experience.

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
