I don’t like to gamble. It’s not my thing. I never played cards. Nor the slots. Forget about the skill machines, and those games of chance. I used to put money down on the Super Bowl. But that got ugly. I believe his name was Boris. I stopped giving money to my friends during the
While Major League Baseball teams were going through the routine wrap-up to their annual Spring Training, many of its best players were experiencing the game via the excitement and spectacular conclusion to the World Baseball Classic in Miami. The pre-game hype and the emotional aftermath of Venezuela’s 3-2 victory over Team USA left no doubt
Five area Challenger baseball teams (East Lycoming, Jersey Shore, Mifflinburg, Montoursville, and Original Little Leagues) recently participated in their 2nd Annual – Challengers Skills & Fun Day, at the Liberty Arena on Saturday, March 7th.

The month of March begins to usher in spring, and with that comes the high-flying flocks of geese that are a fairly common sight in Pennsylvania — and that’s especially true of the Canada Goose. Like a lot of other folks, I have seen a pretty good number of Canada geese going over, but on
Finally, the daytime temperatures are reaching into the 50’s and 60’s, Spring officially arrived over the last weekend, and we have seen the last of the late winter snows (hopefully!). Now it’s time to get outside and tackle a few springtime chores. Robins are bouncing around the yard searching for worms. Bluebirds have been showing
Financial advisors often review with clients the value of adding gold to their portfolio. Montgomery’s Zoe Furman and Montoursville’s Gage Wentzel have already acted upon that advice, returning home from Hershey with state championship gold medals around their necks. The latest in a long line of area grapplers to reach the state wrestling summit, Furman
There may be no known connection between fictional farmer Ray Kinsella in the 1989 movie Field of Dreams. What is soon to be unveiled in Williamsport, but that baseball field in an Iowa cornfield, and the one constructed atop an old city dump have one thing in common: they were both built hoping people would
Our simulator is up and running. The putting green is set. It looks incredible. The Warrior Golf team room is almost finished. Much love to the Plankenhorns for their generous gift. We are so spoiled, and now the guys get to work on their games on campus. 24-7. Beautiful. Thanks to Lycoming College and our
On February 28th, the Lycoming County Beagle Club held its annual Rabbit Hunt. The weather finally broke, giving us a reprieve from bone-chilling cold and snow. With warm weather and a bit of a breeze, my dad and I were able to get the two beagles, Trigger and Radar, out for a run. It didn’t
With spring turkey season not far off, every time I head down the road, I’m checking nearby fields for feeding turkeys. I must say that I have been spotting a fair number of birds, and of the ones I’m seeing, a pretty good number of them have been sporting some good, long beards. According to
Finally! The official arrival of the first day of spring will occur on Friday, March 20, 2026, and after a much colder-than-usual winter, it couldn’t arrive soon enough! With warmer temperatures and intermittent rains, we should turn our attention to planning habitat work that will benefit all forms of wildlife. Probably the most important key
The warm weather and the excitement of the World Baseball Classic have me in a baseball mood. I figured this week would be a good time to tip my Oilers hat to the Olean Oilers. They are gearing up for their first season in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League. I was lucky enough to
