‘Been there, done that’ is a common expression most often uttered by individuals who have accomplished a task and, sometimes out of boredom or disinterest, choose not to continue down the same path. Muncy’s Austin Johnson and Montgomery’s Brandt Harer have certainly mastered the four-word phrase, but it has only been the opponents they have
Decades ago, the City of Williamsport conducted a public contest inviting entries seeking to identify a new promotional slogan. Based upon its uniqueness as the Birthplace of Little League and the importance baseball has played in its history, I decided to enter the contest, submitting my suggestion, “The Little League City with a Big League
My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. Yes. There is never a dull moment. I have been with the company for eight great seasons. And I have been involved with every facet of the countertop business. I am not the strongest, and these beautiful rocks are super heavy. My fellow work chums say

Major Leagues Baseball debuts its 2025 season next week with the Dodgers and Cubs meeting in Tokyo, with baseball’s other 28 clubs swinging into action on March 27. Locally, the high school
It’s hard to believe, but some of my ice-fishing buddies were still walking on a frozen lake the first week of March, and now some of us are thinking about donning a pair of chest waders and heading to a nearby stream for some trout fishing. Those streams are already being stocked with some pretty
Time is our most valuable asset. In everything we do, we must constantly consider how best to use our time. When it comes to habitat improvement, one of the best uses of our time is to locate and care for old apple trees and add new apple trees that will provide years of production that
Among the proverbs often kicked around is one traced back to Thomas Fuller in 1732 pertaining to the arrival of March weather. Referring to the month as coming in like a lion and departing as a lamb, it depicts a cold, windy, snowy start, eventually giving way to glimpses of spring’s coming beauty and warmth.
March is a beautiful month for many reasons. I am getting excited to fish. The golf season is here, and I will devote as much time to watching as much basketball as I possibly can. MADNESS baby. NBA. College. High School. It doesn’t matter. I even get stoked when I spot a few kids hooping
I think (or at least I hope!) that winter temperatures are finally beginning to move upward. If you are like me, you are probably itching to get outside instead of just sitting around waiting for next fall for the hunting seasons to begin! This time of year is great for addressing some key tasks that
A couple of years ago, my wife and I started placing trail cameras at various locations around our home and in several locations in nearby wooded areas. What an eye-opener; I knew wild critters were roaming around out there, but I had no idea that so many of them would end up roaming through my
For the serious hunter, there are still some opportunities to get that rifle or shotgun back out into the countryside for several different small game species. This recent winter weather, however, will certainly make hunting a challenge. I’m sure I don’t have to remind you, readers, that ice has taken over much of our outdoor
