I am always looking for an outdoor adventure. This past Wednesday, I headed north for something new and exciting. It was a gorgeous morning outside of Bodines, PA. My gear was in the car, but there were no plans of fishing. I met up with a few friends along Slack’s Run Road. I wanted to
Next Monday is Memorial Day! Established following the Civil War in 1868, the day was declared a federal holiday to mourn United States military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. For 100 years, until 1968, the day was always observed on May 30. Then for the purpose of creating another three-day
Over the past few years, I’ve run into more and more people who want to learn to fly fish, and I’ve had the opportunity to teach a number of newcomers the art of fly fishing. I hesitate, however, to use the word “art” to describe fly fishing simply because it’s no more of an art
For South Williamsport softball player Gianna Godfrey, it was one of those ah-ha moments. Approaching the Mountaineers’ practice field on a sunny afternoon, the senior outfielder was greeted by five large poster photos newly adorning the backstop fence. One of those photos was of Godfrey. A bystander also noticed the photo and complimented her on
I mentioned to some that I was on the fence about returning. And after a little break. I made the decision. I recently stepped down at St. John Neumann. Look. I had a great run. But it is now time to focus on far more important things. Many folks will question, and I totally get
Hopefully, you might be one of the lucky hunters who has already successfully tagged a spring gobbler. If not, or if you invested in a second tag for this season, the good news is that there is still plenty of time to connect with a spring turkey. Most turkey hunters I have talked with about
My wife has a good job, allowing me to have several part-time gigs. Whether it’s broadcasting football, writing a column, or coaching hoops — I have the opportunity to come in contact with so many great kids. It is one of the many joys. So good news travels fast, and I am very excited for
Smiles, handshakes, and the din of conversation filled the room at the Genetti Hotel as, for the first time in two years, the Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance gathered for their 65th annual banquet. The yearly occasion provides the opportunity for the organization to celebrate and reflect upon individuals and groups who exemplify the lives and
Whether you are seeking to fill your second spring gobbler tag or you are still looking to connect with the first bird, beginning on Monday, the 16th, all-day hunting is permissible throughout Pennsylvania. You have until close of season on Tuesday, May 31, to seal the deal, and with all-day hunting in effect starting Monday,
There are a lot of factors that are a part of a successful fishing outing, and it’s not just what bait or lure you are offering but where and how you present it. In this piece, I’m referring more to the warm water species like panfish and bass, particularly when fishing lakes and ponds. We
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
