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
Since the United States opened its doors to this summer’s World Cup, much has been said and written expressing the welcoming and friendliness of Americans to those visitors who poured in here from around the World. In two weeks, our little neck of the woods will be doing the same as “Williamsport welcomes the world”
Appreciate all the love. I heard from several friends. Even a few fans from this column said hello. It was a quiet birthday. Twelve months shy of 50 clicks. I spent the evening on Lycoming. That is my favorite thing. My bride was okay with me fishing. It was my fourth night straight. Fun time
Khaki has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms and gear starting back circa 1848 when the English army introduced it as a military uniform. In British English and some other Commonwealth usage, khaki may also refer to a shade of green known as “olive drab” aka what we here in the
We have all learned over the years that it’s not a good idea to procrastinate. In fact, there are rarely any occasions when it is a good idea to wait until the very last minute to do what you know simply has to be done. The benefits of accomplishing tasks early far outweigh any poor
Waking up after a good night’s sleep can prepare people to take on a new day and all the challenges it has to offer. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a poor night’s sleep can contribute to physical and mental fatigue, and even have an adverse effect on the immune system, making people more
If you had told me when I was a kid growing up in this state that we would someday have an elk hunting season, I would have said you were crazy. We actually don’t have a single elk season, but we now have four different seasons when elk can be hunted in Pennsylvania, and 155
An 18-year-old was killed and two others wounded in a shooting at Memorial Park. The violence arrived without warning and without mercy, the kind of tragedy that transforms a community’s sense of safety in an instant. The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered, understanding that what happened at Memorial Park cannot be treated as an isolated incident.
As Pennsylvania’s elk rut approaches, wildlife enthusiasts can once again experience one of the most anticipated natural events in the state. The Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Elk Cam went live on August 1 and will bring all the sights and sounds of the bugling bulls to your screen. The cam is located in the heart of
Last week I wrote about how important it is for kids to read. But what do you do with the reluctant reader? The one who just doesn’t like or doesn’t have a lot of interest in reading? One thing I’ve noticed (and what librarians often say) is that reluctant readers don’t hate reading — they
Elvis Tribute Artist Ryan Pelton heads the entertainment at this year’s Clinton County Fair August 1 to 8. In addition to Pelton, there will also be other fine entertainment at the fair as well. And of course, there will be other fair features, such as demolition derbies, animal and other agricultural displays, and a wide
North Central Pennsylvania features several outdoor opportunities, and paddling gives you an entirely new perspective. This includes kayaking, canoeing, and even wakeboarding. Many folks are out on the nearby lakes, rivers, and streams. Yes. Paddling is another great option to experience our backyard. We have a canoe, but we don’t use it much. Time takes
It is estimated that each year, half a million volunteers around the globe support the Little League Baseball and Softball programs. Fittingly, when Little League expanded the number of teams participating in the World Series in 2001 and needed a second stadium, they chose the name Volunteer Stadium. In a few weeks, that stadium will
For summer, jewelry is one way to add interest to more simplistic, heat-beating outfits. For fall looks, jewelry is about bold statements with layered necklaces, big beads, and chunky chains. Let’s do a rundown of the upcoming jewelry trends for fall. First up are lariat necklaces. Think of a lariat as the autumnal equivalent of
Last year, a northern Lycoming County landowner whom I have known for quite some time approached me about helping him design and develop a food plot. He owns 120 acres, which included 50 acres of open fallow fields and a wooded area of about 70 acres that stretched up a hillside and across a mountain
As we move into these midsummer days, I find a couple of wildlife developments that seem to interest those of us who hunt. Sure, I’m always on the lookout for wildlife in my travels, but when this time of year rolls around, I find myself especially interested in spotting turkeys; not just gobblers but also
The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered to address two competing visions for the region’s future. Data center regulations demand immediate attention, yet three major infrastructure investments promise to reshape how the county operates and who it employs. The commissioners moved through both challenges with the kind of deliberate focus that characterizes governance across Pennsylvania’s largest county
I hope that, as you’re reading this, the beautiful summertime sunrises, sunsets, and blue skies have returned. At press time, almost 900 wildfires were burning in Canada, to go along with more than a dozen across Northern Minnesota that were providing our local smoke screen. As the smoke was hugging the ground and I was
For generations, parents assumed that if they sent their children to school, reading would simply take care of itself. Today, many families are realizing that’s no longer something they can take for granted. Whether you subscribe to conspiracy theories or not, there is no denying that reading proficiency has declined, and many teachers, parents, and
The celebration of an interesting and unique creature in a county named for it is one of the main ideas behind the “Elk Expo” held in the appropriately named Elk County, the weekend of July 25 and 26. It is located at the Elk Country Visitors Center in Benezette, Pa. The Elk Expo, started in
A summer weekend in Montoursville brought together far more than youth soccer. Families, volunteers, local businesses, and nonprofit organizations united for the third annual Kicks 4 Canines, helping make the tournament’s largest year yet while supporting a meaningful community cause. Hosted at McCall Middle School by UnitedGoals USA in partnership with the Montoursville Lady Warriors
I know it’s been sweltering, and we are hopefully all in the throes of summer adventure, however if you haven’t started planning for fall by now, you’re already behind. I say this as a person who found herself buying decorative Halloween pillows on July 12th. So yes, here in July with 90°+ days, I’ve already
A hike through forests and fields this time of year can produce some interesting results. Not only does one have the opportunity to observe the antics and activities of young birds and mammals, but many other interesting sights and sounds abound. A frequent sight during the early light of a new day is the presence
Summer is one of the busiest times of year for travel. Whether heading to the beach, visiting family, camping, taking a cruise, or traveling internationally, a little planning can help prevent common illnesses that can quickly derail a trip. While many travel-related illnesses are mild, some can lead to dehydration or the need for medical
A week or so ago, some friends called me and sent me some photos of blackbirds at their river lot property. There were five blackbirds, but one was more white with some dark markings. When I studied the photos, it certainly appeared to be one of the blackbirds, but with the odd coloration. After some
Regardless of one’s endeavor, successfully performing a feat with 43,863 partisan fans wildly cheering against you is not for the faint of heart. But St. Louis Cardinals slugger Jordan Walker was more than equal to the task, blasting six home runs on his final six swings to edge Philadelphia Phillies favorite Kyle Schwarber 12-11 in
