The landfill’s dramatic turnaround and the ongoing zoning strategy both demonstrate commissioners working to stabilize county operations and protect rural character from threats that arrive
The concept of sister cities originated in the mid-twentieth century as a method to foster global peace and mutual understanding by linking communities across national borders. Originally established to encourage citizen diplomacy, these relationships have evolved into strategic partnerships that promote economic development, cultural sharing, and technical collaboration.

We are still in the last throes of summer, and we all know how hot September can get, so like it or not, we are still in sandal season, even as I long for the boots and loafers of autumn. By this time of the year, your flip-flops and strappy sandals have probably seen better
I recently watched a video wherein the presenter was relating his opinion that planting food plots for wildlife was not really a good idea. I am, however, a strong proponent of doing just that — taking the time, energy, and money to invest in establishing food plots that not only benefit deer and turkeys, but
Now, before you grab a pick and shovel and head out back of my place to start digging up some of those gold nuggets, understand that the “gold” I’m talking about here is the gold color on birds and not gold nuggets. I’m actually referring to the American Goldfinch and the Baltimore Oriole, both of
The greatest event in youth sports will be on our cover and featured within our pages for the next two weeks. I am sure most of my readers know Little League baseball and softball are also the largest youth sports programs in the world. It’s hard for me to even get my mind around that
I don’t like it. You don’t like it. But, unfortunately, our dislike doesn’t stop the march of time. And that means summer is winding down and the new school year is right around the corner. Again, just because it sucks — and it does — doesn’t mean we can ignore it. So what can we
An area of the Muncy Hills will be filled with the sights and sounds of giant-scale model airplanes the weekend of August 13 to 16. The Sky High Soaring Society is presenting this aeronautical event.

If you are like me, for the past several weeks you’ve probably shared summer travel experiences with friends and neighbors. Especially for those with school-age kids who play fall sports, these school-free vacation months provide the opportunity to share some time away. But regardless of your family status, most folks welcome a break from the
A border dispute created a geopolitical vacuum where no law existed. The Pennsylvania government refused to grant land deeds, establish courts, or provide military protection. Yet hundreds of families moved into the territory between Lycoming Creek and Pine Creek, anyway, settling land that belonged to neither the British Crown nor the colonial government. Survival demanded
A 1.5 million square foot data center proposal looms near Allenwood. This is not theoretical anymore. This is corporate machinery arriving at Lycoming County’s doorstep with blueprints and lawyers and the kind of capital that overwhelms communities unprepared to say no. The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered, understanding that the window to shape what happens next
Tragically, every year as the hunting season gets underway and the “army” of Pennsylvania hunters hits the woods, unpleasant discoveries are made. As these hunters travel deeper into the woods than normal in pursuit of small or big game, the chances are all too real that they may come across a hiker or camper who
Nail health may seem frivolous to some, but when you have cracked, dry, and irritated nail beds, it can cause enough discomfort and pain to start taking it seriously.

This is hardly the time of year when anglers are thinking about catching trout; instead, bass, walleyes, and an assortment of panfish are probably what occupy their intentions on any given day.

The weather changes, and the local fishermen switch to Bass. But many folks continue to reach out. I am not an expert on fishing, but I know a few things about our Pennsylvania trout. They will send a picture and ask a simple question. STOCKED or WILD? It is getting awfully difficult to determine the
Wow, it’s hard to believe the calendar was flipped to August. Before you know it, the kids will be back to school as the fall sports preparation has already begun. I have been asked many questions lately about tough topics affecting everything imaginable that our future generations will have to deal with. I think the
Life is full of decisions. Some are easy. Some are incredibly hard. If you’re anything like me, though, I can make even the easy ones difficult. I can never pick where we eat, what to watch or where we are going. I tend to overthink. I replay every possible outcome in my head. I ask
The proud river community of Lock Haven will be pulsing with excitement that includes art, music and a wide variety of entertainment when LH JAMS takes place August 6, 7 and 8. “The entire LH JAMS festival offers the very best of music, downtown restaurant cafe seating, premier food truck experiences, Straub beer and Oregon
