It is now known as the Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, but for a few special moments this Sunday, the Lock Haven campus could be called Kriebel College as the school will induct Amy & Dean Kriebel into its Hall of Fame, making history as the first couple ever so honored. Graduates of South Williamsport and
My parents now live in Southern California. They moved west a few years ago to help my sister. Jim and Gail are the wheels for my two young nephews. My folks are rubbing elbows and spending my inheritance. Their list of celebrities is quite impressive. They were backstage hanging out with Dana Carvey this past
For baseball fans, the World Series is the highlight of their favorite pastime. Football fans anxiously watch their teams work their way toward the playoffs and the big day for football fans – the Super Bowl. For those whose greatest sporting challenge is hunting mature whitetail bucks, the wait is almost over. The time is
Last week, while having morning coffee with the gang, on several different occasions, phones were being passed around to give everybody a look at what was captured on camera. I passed around one of my recent photos of a fisher that was taken by one of our trail cameras. Our cameras have captured fishers on
It all began forty years ago just prior to the start of Lycoming College’s 1987 football season. I received a telephone call from Bill Byham, who had just been named Lycoming’s first full-time sports information director. Bill had been my high school basketball coach, and as the years passed, a mentor, radio broadcast partner, and
I flipped through the archives this morning. My collections go back 16 years. I went trolling for Walleyes with Ian. Kayak Bassing was another. Norwegian Family Spencer turned some heads. Ice Fishing 101 with Jason Britton was chilly. Jace Spangler made fun of my puny panfish. Jensen and I ran into a beaver. Paddleboarding wasn’t
The statewide muzzleloader season concluded on October 25, and the four-day Junior and Senior special firearms season for antlerless deer has just come to a close as well. The statewide archery season has been underway since October 3, and is now approaching the time that most archers have been waiting for — the beginning of
As we rapidly progress into the fall season, much of our thinking revolves around where the big bucks are hiding and where the turkeys are. While hunting begins to dominate our thoughts and conversation, it’s also true that some great fishing still exists. I’ll be honest, this year and especially through late summer, my fishing
I love this time of year. North Central PA is blazing. Change is in the air. Everything is shining. Autumn brings us so many vibrant colors. I wish there were more hours. My son continues to take full advantage. We never got into hunting. It is a family thing, and we decided to pass. But
Football fans under the age of 40 would have no recollection of the 1985 Doublemint chewing gum ad featuring twin spokeswomen spouting the slogan “double your pleasure, double your fun.” However, this year’s opponents of the South Williamsport football team are getting no pleasure from the twin experience presented by the Mounties junior double-trouble tandem
It must be a sign that I’m getting older because now, when I hear somebody mention that pheasant season will be opening soon, I have a tendency to look back to the “good old days” of pursuing pheasants. I lived in western Pennsylvania until I moved into this area in the ‘70s. Western Pennsylvania was
For an experienced hunter, one of the most valuable ways we can spend our time is to mentor a new youth hunter. It can truly be a rewarding experience to take a young, eager novice and nurture them through the process of becoming a safe, ethical, and knowledgeable hunter. It will be an activity that
