Golfers from the Greater Baltimore area compete for points over a six-event season. The top 8 in each age group qualify for the Under
I cannot believe the 2021 Little League regular season is coming to an end. Time goes by fast when you are having some fun. OK. I might complain that baseball gets in the way. But it seems like Michelle, Jensen, and I are at the ball field every single night. My fishing has suffered greatly.
When I head out with my fishing rod in hand, my intentions, of course, are to encounter as many scaly creatures as possible — that is, the scaly creatures that are swimming beneath the surface I’m fishing over.

Last week I penned an article regarding “The Newborns of Spring,” and just yesterday morning something happened that makes me revisit that topic. Although I had begun an article about something completely different, I feel compelled to share just what happened. A landowner in northern Lycoming County has for years allowed me permission to hunt

The summer fun begins on Tuesday, May 25 when the Cutters host the State College Spikes at 7:05 p.m. for Opening Night 2021 presented by UPMC & WILQ. The night will include free schedule magnets for
With the warming trend of spring, comes some of Mother Nature’s great wonders.

May is a “crappie” month; if you heard me verbalize that statement and didn’t see it in written form, you would probably be asking, “What’s his problem?” Well, actually, I don’t have a problem; in fact, it’s quite the opposite — I have anticipation and excitement because May is one of the best months to
The following was contained in a recent letter Scott Lowery received from Merry McCracken of Timonium, Maryland.

Safety should always be a priority when spending time on the water, especially when participating in water sports, including swimming and water skiing. According to the World Health Organization, more than 40 people die by drowning
North Central Pennsylvania is home to several grand opportunities, and paddling gives you an entirely new perspective. This includes kayaking, canoeing, and even wakeboarding. With the weather changing, many folks are now out on the nearby lakes, rivers, and streams. Yes. Paddling is another great option to experience the outdoors. The Spencers have a canoe,
What a difference a year makes! “Wait till next year,” is the often-repeated sentiment of sports fans whose teams didn’t perform up to expectations. Next year always does seem to roll around, but in an appreciative retrospect, ‘this year’ has it all over last year when it comes to the sports we all enjoy, and
Another year quickly rolls by, and suddenly it’s time to think about a return to the Carlisle 3-on-3 outdoor basketball tournament. After our inconspicuous exit in the prior year’s tournament — at the hands of local legend Rich Henninger’s team, my thoughts turned to the definition of insanity — doing the same thing over and
