The St John Neumann Golden Knights had an amazing year on the hardwood. My phone continues to ring, and we are still trending. Everywhere we go. Someone will always extend a hand and want to talk basketball — even a month after the season. It is beautiful. Last week, Senator Gene Yaw stopped by to
Years ago, as baseball fans entered the stadiums, a familiar refrain from the program vendors greeted them; “get your scorecard; you can’t tell the players without a scorecard.” Today, if you look hard enough, fans can still purchase a scorecard, but that wonderful part of the Major League ballpark experience has largely gone by the
Ramps: My introduction to these tasty and edible wild plants happened many years ago when I was invited to join a group of “Old Timers” at a nearby hunting camp for their annual spring outing. I felt quite honored since I was in my 30s while the group was well into their 70s and 80s!
Every time we drive down the road somewhere, we see them dead critters, including rabbits, squirrels, opossums, raccoons, groundhogs, skunks, and deer. I’m not sure which one of those critters leads in the numbers game, but skunks certainly hold their own when it comes to getting in the way of a moving vehicle. Whacking one
Across West Fourth Street, just a long foul ball away from the Original Little League field sits the once-controversial site of former Williamsport Mayor Gabe Campana’s 2014 Memorial Park Pickleball Court installation. Somewhat unpopular at the time, that action could be credited as the forerunner of what has become one of the fastest-growing sports in
This week’s write-up has very little to do with sports. I only wanted to give my boys a quick shout. My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. Yes. There is never a dull moment. My fellow work chums say that I am a liability. Rocks are heavy. I am not the strongest guy,
If you are serious about your hunting and are really focused on putting your tag on a trophy buck, a respectable long-bearded turkey, or a Pennsylvania black bear, then rainy weather and blustery conditions should not hold you back. In fact, lousy weather conditions may actually up your odds of success. Whether the forecast is
With the early start this year, trout season is well underway, but with the erratic weather conditions we have seen the past few weeks getting on the water may have been a bit of a challenge. Rain, snow, high, murky water, and strong winds have all added up to some difficult fishing conditions. Of course,
I’d be the first to admit that when I go fishing, my intent is not to catch a record fish but rather to have fun doing something I really enjoy — fishing. That being said, it certainly is a nice surprise once in a while to catch a really nice fish, and the bigger ones,
Fishing has always been a passion, and I take full advantage of what North Central PA has to offer. I am on the water an awful lot and usually head out after supper. Now that the basketball season is over, that is where you can find me. Some of my favorite spots are just a
It was near midnight on April 10; while watching a west coast baseball game, the dreaded news crawled across the bottom of the TV screen. Gary Brown had passed away. In the days since, tributes to the man Gary was and the successful football life he had lived have come from near and far. His
Sleep may become a bit restless as the one-day Youth Hunt for Spring Gobblers will occur this coming Saturday, April 23rd. With the regular statewide Spring Gobbler season opening up on the following Saturday, the 30th, there are a couple of steps to prepare for opening day. First, if you have not already done so,
