Spring is in the air! Popup showers, along with the occasional thunderstorm and all-day rains, have washed away the last remnants of the winter white landscape and have turned the brown fields into lush green. For weeks now, the tree swallows and bluebirds have been busily flying in and out of their bird boxes as
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
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
