Yes. I got bumped last week. My lovely editor wrote a beautiful piece. WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS FALL? She went above and beyond. Lots and lots of words, kids. Check it out. Now Steph needed some extra space. She borrowed Jimmy’s. Who then took mine. No worries. They both asked permission and gave me props. Case
A few years ago, as Major League Baseball’s September was winding down, a friend who is a die-hard Yankees fan proclaimed, “That’s it, the season is over,” as his beloved pin-strippers were eliminated from playoff contention. The statement didn’t reflect reality, but as the calendar flipped to October, many local fans have seen their favorite
The fall turkey season is fast approaching; most WMUs open on Oct. 29, but the closing dates vary in the various units, so check your particular WMU for the closing date. Hunters may take a bearded or unbearded bird during the fall season. I know a lot of hunters will focus on bagging a bearded

I have been blessed to have traveled throughout the state and around the globe, both during my working years and now in retirement. I am always amazed that when I am away from home, my mind constantly wanders back to Northcentral Pennsylvania — the area of my roots. I feel very fortunate to have grown
Before I begin, I want to thank Jamie Spencer for allowing me to take his space this week so that I could give my space to Editor Steph. Jamie will be back next week! Shohei Ohtani is blessed with unbelievable physical skills, stature, and a baseball mind. The 6’ 4” 210 lb. gentleman is as
You diligently spent untold hours preseason scouting, set and checked your trail cameras, and kept accurate records of the ever-changing food sources in the areas you planned to hunt.

It was a sun-splashed, gorgeous Norman Rockwell-type September Saturday afternoon, uniquely perfect for college football. Accordingly, we decided to take the two-hour drive to Alfred, New York, to watch grandson Tucker’s Juniata College Eagles in action. While the results were not what we had hoped for, as the host Saxons won handily, it was a
I was saddened to hear of his passing. My man was an icon. He starred in several movies. His legendary voice was in many commercials. James Earl Jones was the man and then some. He lived to be 93. A once-in-a-generation talent. Jones left his mark. He made an impact. I reference him quite often.
