Last year the millions of fans of the annual Little League World Series felt an aching void when it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year the shadow of that pandemic still hangs over the LLWS, but the annual classic is returning anyway — in a revised form. The Little League World Series

I’m not an educator, but I can imagine the challenges teachers face in this day and age. Figuring out what to wear on the first day of school is pretty low on the priority list. However, just like the first day at a new job, the first day of school is also a chance to
Can’t wait for the September peak of Pennsylvania’s elk rut? Get a jumpstart now with the Game Commission’s Elk Cam. The Game Commission again has installed a camera on State Game Lands 311 in Elk County, in a field that typically is a hub of elk activity as the bugling season heats up. Video and
Several months ago, I interviewed Mike McMunn, the Director for the Lycoming County Veterans Affairs Department, in reference to the Veterans Court program. He sold me on becoming a Veteran Mentor for the program, and I was all ready to get started. The only thing I needed to enroll was my DD-214, the official discharge

Life on a college campus can be exciting, especially for freshmen enjoying their first taste of life away from home. As exciting as campus life can be, it also can be a bit nerve-wracking for students who have never before had to fend for themselves. Administrators and security personnel work to make school environments as
As a youngster, no doubt many of you at one time or another played the game “Simon Says.” In the game, one player assumes the role of Simon and shouts out instructions to the other players. The other players respond only when those instructions are prefaced by “Simon says.” Players responding to instructions not prefaced
I guess it’s a sign that I’m getting older, but it seems like changes are coming more frequently than they did in the past. As an outdoorsman involved in the business of hunting and fishing for most of my life, in my early years, it seemed like rules and regulations seldom changed much, if at
Each school year offers exciting opportunities for little learners to discover and explore new topics, make friends and master new skills. While much of the focus is on families during the back-to-school season, it’s also an important time for educators, especially those who are working with young children or are just starting their careers. These
First and foremost, I would personally like to congratulate the 16 teams who made it all the way to Williamsport for the 2021 Little League World Series. This is my favorite time of year as our lovely backyard provides the backdrop to one of the greatest sporting events on the planet. I love the entire
Gypsy moth caterpillars can be devastating. While their usual appetite is for the leaves of oak trees, they will gladly consume the leaves of just about any other tree as well and will even dine on pine tree needles and grass when they run out of other vegetation to devour. Over the past few years,

I want to make this as blatantly clear as possible. The above three are driven by money, power, and beyond greed. They couldn’t care a laboratory rat’s tail about you. Anyone who tries to tell you any differently either directly benefits from the madness or has taken their five-pound bag of sugar to help the
Do you live with a picky eater? In particular, a child who thinks that they can subside just fine on chicken nuggets and mac & cheese for all of eternity? Dealing with a kid that doesn’t want to eat or try anything new, can be an exercise in frustration, but there are some things you
The 6th annual LH JAMS festival is coming to Lock Haven on August 13 and 14. The festival was created by the Clinton County Arts Council and is a free admission event that is volunteer-powered but supported by many organizations, businesses, and individuals throughout the community. “We always had a multi-mission approach to not only
The media echo chamber is clamoring that the new variant of COVID should have us all shaking in fear. Yet many people in our area have commented to me how distrustful they are of the news media. One reason why I believe that is true is because of the way government of cials or media
Like most parents, I’m excited, anxious, exhausted, and amazed that my first-born child is about to start kindergarten. She already attends a full-day preschool, so I’m confident she’ll do well in a classroom setting. However, I am stressed about what her teacher is like, what supplies she’ll need, whether lunch is provided, if she’ll even

Hardwood floors have long been sought after by home buyers. In its 2019 “Remodeling Impact Report,” the National Association of Realtors® revealed that new wood flooring was the fourth most popular project to attract buyers. Of course, hardwood floors aren’t just for buyers. Homeowners who already have hardwood floors know just how impressive these floors
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and the Hepburn Lycoming Little Leaguers were bounced in the PA State Tournament. Sure. It hurt. But these twelve-year-olds are quite resilient. We bounced back after lunch. They accomplished so much, and I am super proud. What a ride for these 12 “Boys of Summer.” The
One of the more memorable lines from a movie is when Forrest Gump stated that “My mama always said, life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get!” And, while he was referring to something completely different, the line could easily be used to describe what you might or might
The lazy days of summer are here in north central Pennsylvania with sunny, warm days full of activities for kids taking advantage of their summer breaks. During the hot summer months, it’s important to know how to keep kids safe. What are Heat Injuries? When summer temperatures reach their height, the risk of heat injury
As a consumer, I’ve learned to live with those so-called “Christmas in July” type sales that seem to pop up in the middle of the summer. However, in the midst of the summer, I have a hard time accepting the Thanksgiving merchandise that was seen being displayed during a recent shopping trip. No doubt, living
I remember as a kid growing up in western Pennsylvania, elk sightings were fairly rare and for good reason — there weren’t that many. Every now and then, we would spot one at a local state park, but the thought of ever hunting them in our state never entered our minds, but that was in
