As I sat and pondered my column it was a beautiful sun-drenched spring morning. Although the temperature might be a little on the chilly side, the smell of spring is in the air. You can feel the warmth of the sun and just know warmer days are right around the corner. It’s such a special
Hey y’all! I’m so excited for Easter this weekend! I always have so much fun prepping for our annual Easter contest! Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It’s right up there with the 4th of July! But before I get too far into my article this week, let me ask you a question. Are
April 25 is the date of this year’s Youth Hunt for spring gobblers, and the regular season opens on May 2. So, my question to you is, “Is Your Vest Ready?” With the arrival of spring-like weather, it is easy to get caught up in all those outdoor chores that have been put off by
The spring turkey season is nearly upon us; the youth hunt is set for April 25, and the statewide season runs from May 2-30. Hunting hours from May 2-16 begin one-half hour before sunrise and end at noon. Hunters are asked to be out of the woods by 1 p.m. during that period. From May
When it comes to heart health, hormones play a significant role, especially for women. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death for women, yet the impact of perimenopause and menopause on heart health is often misunderstood or overlooked. These life stages bring hormonal changes that can affect cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and overall cardiovascular
Reader beware! Depending on which day of the week you spend with the pages of this publication, the headline phrase may have been a part of your daily activities.

Fishing attracts millions of enthusiasts. The American Sportfishing Association says one in six Americans are anglers, which equates to more than of 50 million anglers nationwide. The fishing industry supports 826,000 jobs, and excise taxes collected on fishing gear and boat fuel help fund fish and habitat programs overseen by fish and wildlife agencies in
We are getting close to the opening day of the 2026 trout season. Jensen and I snuck out this past weekend. Delayed Harvest. The water was high, and the temperatures were rough. We are hoping for better luck. Pennsylvania now allows kids to fish with a mentor the weekend prior. Most folks follow the rules,
Pennsylvania hunters harvested about 6% more deer in the 2025-26 hunting seasons than they did the year before, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission estimates. The statewide 2025-26 deer harvest was estimated at 505,600 deer, 185,310 of them antlered and 320,290 antlerless. By comparison, the statewide 2024-25 harvest was estimated at 476,880 deer. The year-over-year increase
The opening of another trout season is upon us, and needless to say, a lot of us are talking about heading out trout “fishing.” So why don’t we say we are going trout “catching”? Well, for good reason, because there are times when we hit the water and end up with no fish caught; we
The Lycoming County commissioners met this week, with Vietnam Veterans Day approaching this Sunday, March 29. The board took time to recognize the men and women who served in a war that divided the nation but never diminished the courage of those who answered the call. These veterans sacrificed years of their lives, and some
Now that spring has officially arrived, there’s no time like the present to start transitioning your closet for the in-between weather. With weeks that start out like the cold days of February and end with warm breezes that hint at May, dressing can be notoriously tricky. When that temperature shift happens over the course of
We are all immersed in one of the most difficult times in American history. The hard-working, rule-follower, who gives their best effort, has never been challenged more — and from every angle. As I thought about my column and all that is going on around us, the end of VCU’s 19-point comeback over North Carolina
We will ‘officially’ celebrate Easter next week, but there are a shocking number of Easter events happening this weekend, particularly on Saturday. Once I noticed how many events there were, it felt like a bit of a disservice to the community not to feature them this week. If you map this out right, you could
It is important that we monitor what we are taking into our bodies. Now, yes, that means food. I think I have made it pretty clear how important I believe it is to eat healthy and take care of yourself. But it also means what we are listening to, what we are watching, and what
The month of March begins to usher in spring, and with that comes the high-flying flocks of geese that are a fairly common sight in Pennsylvania — and that’s especially true of the Canada Goose. Like a lot of other folks, I have seen a pretty good number of Canada geese going over, but on
The Lycoming County commissioners met this week and took time to acknowledge March as Women’s History Month, expressing gratitude for the women who have shaped and continue to shape this community. The recognition felt fitting for a county that has been home to some truly remarkable women throughout its history. While the commissioners handled their
Finally, the daytime temperatures are reaching into the 50’s and 60’s, Spring officially arrived over the last weekend, and we have seen the last of the late winter snows (hopefully!). Now it’s time to get outside and tackle a few springtime chores. Robins are bouncing around the yard searching for worms. Bluebirds have been showing
I don’t like to gamble. It’s not my thing. I never played cards. Nor the slots. Forget about the skill machines, and those games of chance. I used to put money down on the Super Bowl. But that got ugly. I believe his name was Boris. I stopped giving money to my friends during the
If there is one medical procedure that tends to make people uneasy, it is colonoscopy. For many individuals, the anxiety starts long before the appointment itself. The good news is that colonoscopies are routine, safe, and often much easier than people expect. Understanding what really happens before, during, and after the procedure can help take
While Major League Baseball teams were going through the routine wrap-up to their annual Spring Training, many of its best players were experiencing the game via the excitement and spectacular conclusion to the World Baseball Classic in Miami. The pre-game hype and the emotional aftermath of Venezuela’s 3-2 victory over Team USA left no doubt
In Lycoming County in 2024, according to the Lycoming County Coroner’s Office, there were 22 suicides that year, and in 2025, there were 21. In 2024, nationwide, that number exceeded 48,000. To show there is hope and raise awareness of the problem of suicide, the Hope Squad of the Williamsport Area High School will hold
If we’re lucky, some of the best years of our lives are considered the best because they are spent in the company of a dog. It’s what I think of when I hear the term “dog years” anyway. It’s not how old a dog may be in terms of human aging, but instead, it’s the
Five area Challenger baseball teams (East Lycoming, Jersey Shore, Mifflinburg, Montoursville, and Original Little Leagues) recently participated in their 2nd Annual – Challengers Skills & Fun Day, at the Liberty Arena on Saturday, March 7th. The Little League Challenger Division was founded in 1989 and is an adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and
Denim in 2026 is less about chasing trends and more about rethinking how you wear the jeans you already own. Jeans are a staple. Sure, there have been statement denim moments in the past, but in these times, jeans should anchor an outfit with quiet confidence. A good pair of jeans will lift up and
I will begin where I left off last week. My thoughts and prayers are with all who provide the freedom to write this column, the service men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Our Nation has been involved in a military conflict 90% of the time since its founding in 1776. This includes
Boys and girls, step right up, everyone has a chance to win a prize! You can’t argue with the Easter staples, so we are hunting Easter Eggs this year! As we patiently wait for spring to make its full arrival, it’s time to start our 6th annual Easter Hunt contest! Most of you are familiar
“Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you. Go to work, do your best, don’t outsmart your common sense, don’t let your praying knees get lazy, and love like crazy.” Simple words from a great song by Lee Brice. I was listening to it in the car while putting in the
Financial advisors often review with clients the value of adding gold to their portfolio. Montgomery’s Zoe Furman and Montoursville’s Gage Wentzel have already acted upon that advice, returning home from Hershey with state championship gold medals around their necks. The latest in a long line of area grapplers to reach the state wrestling summit, Furman
