There is nothing more needed today than the amazing love, caring, and nurturing moms bring to the world. The bond between a mother and her child usually grows stronger as the years go by. Then becomes even more loving and powerful when the next generation comes along. Mom becoming gram, nana, grandma — and then
I changed things up a bit last year, but we are back at it with my Mother’s Day list! It’s hard to argue with a list this great, and so many examples of the awesome variety of moms we have out there! And to all the Moms out there, if no one has told you

The good news is that most skin cancers are highly treatable when found early, and many cases are preventable. Skin Cancer Awareness and Melanoma Awareness months are a good reminder to check your skin, protect it every
Quarterback Joe Fagnano continues to amaze. The local Williamsport Area product is amazing. Fagnano did not get picked in the 2026 NFL Draft. But Joe recently landed a free-agent job with the Baltimore Ravens. The terms of the deal are still in the air. Various reports said he agreed to three years. Incredible. Fagnano is
Most likely, those who follow sports were not surprised when the recent news broke regarding the betting scandal of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who checked himself into a treatment program to address a gambling addiction a week ago. While betting on sporting events has been around since sports themselves were established, the activity was
As spring weather finds its groove, the urge to lighten things up outfitting-wise is hard to resist. Heavy boots give way to delicate flats, sweaters to breezy tops, and dark-wash denim shifts into shades of white. The truth is white jeans (in all their variations) work year-round. They feel crisp and chic in winter and

History provides context on just how good Pennsylvania spring turkey hunters have had it lately. During the state’s first spring turkey season in 1968, the total take was 1,636. Compare that to last year, when hunters harvested an estimated 42,543 birds. Not only was that the largest spring turkey harvest in the last five years,

The Lycoming County Commissioners approved significant security upgrades for the elections department and accepted major grant funding for law enforcement and community services at their April 23 meeting. The Thursday morning session at 33 West Third Street in Williamsport focused heavily on improvements funded by state and federal grants, meaning local taxpayers won’t see increased
Lycoming County owns Pennsylvania’s hiking culture. This is not an opinion. The landscape here is rugged and accessible in ways that make other counties seem small by comparison. Hundreds of thousands of acres of public land stretch across the Allegheny Plateau, creating a wilderness experience that has become rare in the Mid-Atlantic. The county opens the door
The Pennsylvania spring gobbler season is underway, and preseason scouting would indicate that this should be a really good year to bag one of nature’s greatest game birds. Before you head to the woods, there are a few things you should give some thought to. The majority of those who get up every morning well
I’m sure it’s no secret that I love to fish, and over the years I’ve pursued a lot of different species, and one of my favorites was northern pike. My fishing buddies and I made frequent trips to the St. Lawrence River in New York to pursue pike and for good reason — the pike
Before I move forward with this week’s column, I want to clarify something that I’ve heard a few times over the years and again most recently. There are no cryptic messages within my column. To the person over last week’s column that thinks I communicate with Republicans in this manner while trying to undermine Democrats,
As much as I hate to admit it, I am not getting any younger. And with aging comes changes — mental and physical. One of the physical is that I am not longer able to keep weight off, or lose weight as easily as I could in my 20s. I don’t like it, but it

Among my sports memorabilia is a souvenir license plate touting the words “Pittsburgh, City of Champions.” The Pirates in 1979, the Steelers in 2009, the Penguins in 2017, all black & gold glory, all ancient history. Oh yes, perhaps Dean Martin’s 1955 hit record “Memories Are Made of This” says it all for western Pennsylvania
For many years, having a knee or hip replacement meant several days in the hospital, followed by weeks of recovery. Today, that picture is changing. Thanks to medical advances, some patients can now go home the same day they receive a new joint. This approach, often called same‑day or outpatient joint replacement, is becoming more
I decided to shave. It was a valiant effort. Call it another midlife crisis. I was going for the Robert Redford. Trying to portray what he looked like in Jeremiah Johnson. Scruffy and rugged. I was seriously thinking about joining the bearded brethren. Needing to simplify. Get back to basics. Eliminate the stresses and electronic
With the wedding season upon us, we tackled part 1 of wedding etiquette last week. We’ll wrap things up here in part 2 for day-of and post-wedding protocol. Let’s dive back in!

The “teaser” temperatures in the 80s recently woke us all up to the fact that opening day of spring gobbler season is about to happen! Daytime temperatures are finally settling back to a more normal and more comfortable level, and the snow (I hope!) is gone for the season. Now, it’s a matter of double-checking
I’m not sure how many people are aware of it, but Pennsylvania has an official state bird, and it’s the ruffed grouse. The ruffed grouse has been the official state bird since 1931. Of course, the hunting crowd is well acquainted with the ruffed grouse, as it’s been hunted for many years. “Hunted” is a
The Lycoming County commissioners met this week with several items on the agenda that ranged from Independence Day planning to ongoing rumors about development. The board is working with Backyard Broadcasting, the district attorney’s office, and the chamber of commerce to ensure the Fourth of July fireworks display happens in Williamsport. These partnerships matter for
Thank you to everyone who took the time to talk with me about last week’s column, “Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid.” Long story short, it ended with, we don’t have to agree, but we need to be civil and work together to make a better future for our children and grandchildren. This rang true with almost
Like most of us, I grew up going to Knoebels. You can still find me and my family there a couple of times a year, every year now. So, when I saw they would be celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, I knew we needed to feature it. Knoebels feels like one of those “If
