And it just so happens that every year on September 8, the world celebrates International Literacy Day — a day dedicated to recognizing the importance of literacy and the enormous impact reading and writing have on individuals, communities,
The name Lycoming stems from a deep indigenous linguistic tradition that predates European arrival by centuries. The word itself means sandy or gravelly creek, rooted in the language of the Lenape people, who were the original stewards of the lands comprising modern Pennsylvania. In their native tongue, the original name for the waterway was Legani
Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Fall, Y’all. I know we still have Labor Day ahead and the official beginning of Autumn is September 22nd, but with all that’s going on this month, I was inspired to get out ahead of the season. Before I start talking about Home Improvement and
The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered on August 20th to address persistent misinformation circulating on social media regarding two critical areas of county operations.

Since 1996, the population of monarch butterflies in the Eastern United States has declined by nearly 80%, and one of the biggest reasons is the loss of habitat. Monarchs need early successional vegetation, with milkweed and various flowering plants such as goldenrod that often can be found in fallow fields, highway edges, and agricultural field
The World Series was wonderful this year. Something I noticed that sounds a little crazy to even say is that kids were catching heat for celebrating home runs. Honestly, pro players hear it too. I would consider myself old school when it comes to baseball. Respect the game. Hustle. Play the right way. Don’t show
How often are we driving down the road when we suddenly spot a freshly killed wild critter right in the middle of the highway, and two or three large black birds are enjoying a fresh meal? Sometimes those large blackbirds are about the size of a wild turkey, and we quickly identify them as the
George Cline is a legend. The long-time Williamsport resident is 96 years young. My man still looks great, and he is full of spunk. George was one of the originals. He played Little League baseball back in 1939. The very first. I caught up with George this week. We were outside of Leighton Place overlooking

With the concept of wearing the clothes you already have, but in new ways, I wanted to explore different styles of jeans and how to refresh old denim. Jeans are a ubiquitous part of most of our lives and an essential fabric for fall, so let’s run down some styling options to breathe some crisp
Few things can upset an otherwise beautiful and relaxing day spent in an outdoor living space more quickly than insects and pests. Whether it’s mosquitoes trying to bite homeowners and their guests, flies looking to land on food, or wildlife leaving trails of excrement throughout a yard, these unwelcome guests can make it hard for
While most of the attention on the Southeast Region team from Phenix City, Alabama was focused on the amazing performance of Kinley Rasmus and her standout pitching and hitting performance in the Little League World Series, it should be noted that her family, her father, Cory played here in the LLWS in 1999 along with

Eating oysters can be a unique culinary experience. Generally speaking, oysters are served raw on the halfshell. Oysters can take on the specific flavor characteristics of the water they grow in, something known as “merroir,” which is derived from “mer,” the French word for “sea.” Currents, runoff from land and other elements all affect the
Weeknights often feel like a race against the clock. Busy families feel the squeeze from school pickups, homework and social commitments, but dinner remains one of the few opportunities for everyone to slow down, reconnect and share important moments together at the close of a hectic day. With a little planning and convenient ingredients like
ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 Aries, you are bursting with momentum, but your tongue may move faster than your brain this week. You don’t need to force a final decision or push an agenda right now. Speak thoughtfully. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 Reshuffled schedules might test your patience, Taurus. Focus on finding a healthy
Once in a great while, I stumble across a book that’s so good, I reread it. Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspé (Glucose Goddess on Instagram) is just such a book. It might not be of interest to everyone per se, but since I have type 2 diabetes, I am wholly invested in its subject matter.
Keeping pets happy and healthy is a priority for pet owners. Navigating companion animals’ health issues is not always easy and can be expensive if something serious crops up.

For many people, the thought of brain surgery can feel overwhelming. It is natural to have questions: How will the surgeon know where to go? How do they avoid important areas of the brain? What information is used to plan the safest approach? One tool that helps answer those questions is image-guided surgical navigation. In
Swedish American two-time Olympic pole vault champion Armand Duplantis was not in attendance at the Little League World Series, but the words of the world record holder (20 feet, 8 inches) gave testament to what was unfolding on the pristine fields at the South Williamsport complex. As the crowd rose for the playing of the
As I crossed the Market Street Bridge early this past Friday morning, one thing caught my eye. The bright lights at the Little League baseball complex shining through the heavy fog. As you know, Thursday was a complete washout. When I managed Little League Baseball, I always enjoyed having the kids or coaches tell jokes
It’s the 2nd week of Little League, and we’re getting deeper into the brackets every day. That means we’re inching closer to a championship — and, with it, the end of summer. And you can feel it already: the days are a little shorter, the nights are a little cooler, and the first days of
When I tell people I run and actually enjoy it, I usually get some crazy looks. Sometimes I even get an eye roll. And honestly, I get it. There was a time when I thought running was the absolute worst. Growing up playing sports, running was usually a punishment. It was something you did to
The Little League World Series is underway. A few days in, and we are still smiling. Thursday’s rains dampened a few spirits. No worries. It will be a very festive yet busy weekend. You know us locals may take this for granted. But the Little League World Series is an awesome experience. My first was
The more time you spend outdoors, the greater the chance you have of being exposed to the Wonders of Mother Nature, and one of those great wonders is occurring right now.
