Our Goal is Simple: To Get Friends and Families to Play Outside Together
National Play Outside Day is the first Saturday of every month. The next one is Saturday, August 2nd, 2025.
What is National Play Outside Day?
On the first Saturday of the month, everybody in the nation plays outside.
This includes kids, parents, adults, families
and grandparents.
There are no scheduled events or activities, just go outside and do something fun with your friends and familiy.
Mark it on the calen-
dar for the rest of the year so you don’t forget! Make it a monthly tradition.
Why play outside? It’s fun
Develop a lifetime habit of physical activity
Keep health and exercise a priority
Discover new things
Use your imagination
Enjoy the beauty of nature
Create lifelong memories with friends and family
Why have people stopped playing outside?
There is a ton of cool stuff inside (video games,
TV, computers, toys......).
It’s different than when we were kids. Parents had to yell for kids to come in, now some parents have to yell to get kids to go outside.
We get busy with the other things we need to do, and don’t make it a priority.
The news media has scared us about being outside.
It is up to parents to encourage and plan outdoor activities.
Playing outside is a choice. It takes a little effort, like putting shoes on. But once you are outside, it’s worth it.

Susquehanna Valley Corvette Club
The Susquehanna Valley Corvette Club (SVCC) is holding their 17th annual “Corvettes in the Park” car show Saturday September 20th at the Lime Bluff Recreation Area, 461 Elm Drive, Hughesville, Pennsylvania. As a result of our car show last year, the SVCC donated over $10,500 from the proceeds of the show to various charities in North Central Pennsylvania. This year we are expecting around 150 Corvettes into the Hughesville location. As always you will be able to see many beautiful well restored Corvettes from the 1950’s up to the new mid- engine models. This year the Corvette
Show hours are from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. Registration begins at 9:00 am until 11:00 am. The cost of registration at the show is $20.00, and this year there will be no preregistration. Each of the first 150 Corvettes to register will receive a free T-Shirt.
At 2:30 pm the awards presentation will take place This will include the Corvette classes C1 through C8 as well as several special awards. There will be free give away drawings during the day and a 50/50 drawing at the end of the show.
This is the 17th year of the show here in Eastern Lycoming County. The SVCC uses the car
show as their annual fundraising event. To date this event has raised approximately $154,000 for a scholarship fund at Pennsylvania College of Technology. The scholarship program established in 2014 is for incoming students from a local eleven county geographic area. Those students must major in either automotive mechanics or the auto restoration programs. In addition, the SVCC makes donations to many other local charities.
The Lime Bluff Recreation Area in Hughesville is the wonderful venue for this event as the area is a perfect backdrop for the cars.
There will be vendors providing food ranging from hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, and ice cream.
Muncy son cruises his go-kart to 40th career victory
Scott Mertz of Muncy recently earned his 40th career victory at Penns Creek Raceway.
Scott has been racing competitive dirt gokarts since 2021, and along with multiple victories at Penns Creek, he has also racked up several wins at Selinsgrove Speedway, Seven Stars Speedway, and Hunterstown Speed-
way.
Scott credits his successful racing program to being fully committed and focused, along with putting in the weekly time for testing, tuning, and chassis set up.
Along with his father, Bob Mertz, who is also his crew chief, Scott was fortunate to have one of Snyder County’s accomplished racers,
Nathan Herman of Missile Motorsports, take him under his wing and help to build his racing program.
Between Penns Creek Raceway and Selinsgrove Speedway, Mertz has five track championships under his belt, and he’s currently racing towards a sixth championship this season.
UPMC Family Medicine Residency Helps Grow Food Security in Lycoming County
Williamsport, Pa., July 25, 2025 – The UPMC Williamsport Family Medicine Residency team has recently installed a drip irrigation system at the Salvation Army Community Garden, 724 Park Ave., Williamsport, and is launching Vital Roots, a series of community teaching kitchens, to help strengthen food security in Lycoming County.
Taylor Rider, D.O., third-year resident, UPMC, took the lead in securing the Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians (PAFP) grant, making her a driving force behind this multi-faceted initiative aimed at improving food access and community health in the local community.
Drip Irrigation System
A new drip irrigation system is now up and running at the Salvation Army Community Garden thanks to Dr. Rider’s initiative, and was installed through a collaborative effort involving John Boll, D.O., faculty member, UPMC Williamsport Family Medicine Residency; UPMC Williamsport Facilities team members; Sid Furst, garden manager, Salvation Army; and Salvation
Army volunteers.
This project represents a significant step toward expanding the garden’s capacity to grow fresh, local produce for individuals and families in need. The garden’s new infrastructure is expected to increase yields, reduce maintenance, and enhance educational and volunteer programming. According to the Central Pa. Food Bank, one in 10 people in this region experience food insecurity, an issue that disproportionately affects children and seniors. The Salvation Army Community Garden helps fill this gap by providing healthy produce through local food programs.
Vital Roots
Dr. Rider’s vision for addressing food insecurity goes beyond the garden. The PAFP funding will also support the launch of Vital Roots, a series of community teaching kitchens that combine fresh produce from the garden and items from local food banks to create whole food, plant-based meals. These kitchens are designed not only to nourish but to educate and empower partici-
pants with practical tools for better health.
The Vital Roots teaching kitchens will be held in partnership with Family Promise of Lycoming County, 635 Hepburn St., Williamsport, on the following Thursdays, 6 to 8 p.m.:
Aug. 7
Aug. 28
Sept. 25
Oct. 9
Oct. 30
All Lycoming County residents are invited to attend. Registration is required due to limited space. Call 570-321-2345 to secure a spot.
The classes are part of the residency’s Lifestyle Medicine Residency Curriculum (LMRC), now in its fifth year under the leadership of Elizabeth Anderson, M.D., and Adwoa Boahene, M.D., both board-certified in Lifestyle Medicine. The LMRC emphasizes six pillars of health: wholefood, plant-based eating, physical activity, sleep, stress management, substance use avoidance, and social connection. Graduating residents who complete the curricu lum are eligible to sit for the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine
cation exam.
“Food insecurity is more than just a lack of food — it’s a root cause of chronic disease,” said Dr. Anderson. “Dr. Rider recognized this and responded not only with a plan, but with action.
Through her leadership, we are meeting patients where they are — right in the kitchen.”
The combined efforts
installing irrigation lines or sautéing vegetables in a community kitchen, their work is cultivating both healthier diets and stronger communities — one harvest, one meal, and one relationship at a time.
Sunday Hunting Days Set for 2025
The new Sunday hunting days for 2025 have been set.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission today announced that beginning Sept. 14, and through the second Sunday in firearms deer season Dec. 7, all Sundays that fall within established hunting seasons will be included as part of those seasons and open to hunting.
Migratory game bird seasons are the lone exception. No Sundays will be added to the 202526 migratory game bird seasons because those seasons are set through federal frameworks and adding any Sundays at this time would result in a loss of hunting days in 2025-26.
For other species with open seasons, the Sundays authorized for hunting in

August 24 Chuck Holt speaks August 31 Brad Brought speaks SS 9:15 & Worship 10:30 am
Please note the firearms deer season still will end on Saturday, Dec. 13. Many established hunting seasons will continue to close as scheduled on a Saturday. Sundays must fall between the established opening and closing days of a season to be open to hunting.
In addition to these new Sunday hunting dates, the previously approved Sundays for foxes, coyotes and crows remain in place for the 2025-26 seasons.
The Sundays to be added to the 2025-26 seasons follow the passage of House Bill 1431, which was signed into law July 9 as Act 36 of 2025. The new law, which takes effect Sept. 7, repeals Pennsylvania’s longstanding prohibition on Sunday hunting, allowing the Game Commission to fully regulate Sunday hunting.
After thoroughly discussing and deliberating additional Sunday hunting opportunities for the 2025-26 license year, the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners unanimously adopted a resolution directing Game Commission Executive Director Steve Smith to add the new Sunday hunting days by executive order, as authorized by regulation. The order will be made to take effect
Sept. 7, when the new law is in place. While the Board unanimously supported the list of Sundays to be implemented, Commissioners noted that an executive order was necessary. Adjusting seasons through Board action would have required affirmative votes at two consecutive meetings and could not have taken effect until sometime in November – after the majority of fall hunting seasons had already occurred.
For each new Sunday to be implemented, the Board considered potential impacts on game species, and Game Commission staff assured Commissioners no negative impacts would be expected from opening the approved Sundays within seasons. Allowing expanded Sunday hunting only through the firearms deer season will help to ensure the new opportunities align with wildlife-management goals, as well.
When the Board begins the process of setting the 2026-27 hunting seasons in January, with the benefit of including Sundays when establishing seasons instead of adding Sundays to already-established seasons, the slate of opportunities might look different.
In the inaugural year of the repealed Sunday hunting ban, however, the Game Commission is pleased to offer continuous Sunday hunting opportunity for more than three months, at the peak time for hunting participation, Executive Director Smith said.
nor, those restrictions finally have been lifted and the Game Commission is prepared to offer additional Sunday hunting opportunities throughout the fall hunting seasons. We’ve carefully reviewed these expanded season dates and are confident they will not jeopardize our healthy and abundant wildlife populations. We will closely monitor the impact of these additions to help inform future season dates.
“We’re proud to offer 13 Sundays of hunting this season,” Smith said. “These aren’t just extra days in the field, they’re a reflection of our commitment to removing barriers, making hunting more accessible, and ensuring that Pennsylvania’s rich hunting heritage is passed on to the next generation. Today marks a major step forward for our hunters and for conservation across the Commonwealth.”
Ag Tags, Snow Goose Permits for Mentored Hunters
In other action at today’s meeting, mentored hunters ages 7 and older soon will be able to purchase snow goose conservation permits, as well as Ag Tags for antlerless deer.
takes about six weeks. Allowing mentored hunters 7 or older to receive snow goose permits and Ag Tags provides additional opportunity for mentored hunters while enabling them to take part in important management initiatives.
Land Deals to Add 57 Acres tp Game Lands
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners today addressed four land deals: one purchase in Luzerne County, one exchange in Cambria County, one acquisition through interagency transfer in Luzerne County, and one boundary settlement in Elk County through a notational vote on June 11, 2025. The total acreage to be added to existing state game lands through these deals is 57 acres.
The land purchase in Luzerne County is in partnership with Natural Lands Trust and includes roughly 16.5 acres adjacent to State Game Lands 91 off Route 115.
presence on the property. PennDOT will be able to credit these acres against impacts to state game lands in the northeast region, resulting from future highway and road projects.
By notational vote on June 11, 2025, the Board of Commissioners approved the resolution to a boundary dispute on State Game Lands 44 in Elk County. The total land involved in the dispute was roughly one-half acre.
“Hunters have sought expanded Sunday hunting for decades, but state law limited the opportunities we could provide,” Smith said. “Now, with the action taken by the General Assembly and the Gover-
After giving preliminary approval in April, the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners today adopted a measure that, once finalized, will further increase the slate of opportunities available to mentored hunters. As with all hunters, there will no limit on the number of Ag Tags a mentored hunter 7 or older can receive, so long as tags remain available.
These changes will take effect when they are published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, which usually
In Cambria County, the Game Commission will be receiving roughly 18.5 acres adjacent to State Game Lands 79, in Blacklick Township, in exchange for roughly 3.8 acres that are now part of it. The exchange eliminates a significant encroachment and improves the manageability of this land.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation agreed to transfer exclusive jurisdiction and control of roughly 22 acres located in Hanover Township, Luzerne County to the Game Commission. The property, known as the Witinski Bank Site, is an indenture to State Game Lands 207 with both Indiana bats and northern long-eared bats showing a potential
Hunters and other users of the game lands system should be aware that none of these additions are yet final. Some are contingent upon third parties receiving funding through grants or other means. What’s more, the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the agreements is but one step in the land transfer process. When that process is completed, and the properties are officially game lands, the Game Commission will post signs to that effect, stating that they’re now available for public use.
Changes
to Crop-Damage Program Adopted
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners today adopted two changes to the Agricultural Damage Depredation Permit program, which allows farmers to take wildlife for crop damage. The Board voted to remove requirements that affected agricultural lands be enrolled in a two-year public access program and that applicants supply a deed for enrolled lands, allowing them to certify their authority instead. These changes will take effect when they are published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, which usually takes about six weeks.
RESTAURANT ENTERTAINMENT & GUIDE
Hit play staged in Montgomery in 1897 to fundraise for a veteran’s group monument
By JADE HEASLEY
The
Luminary
In the years after the Civil War ended, Montgomery had a large number of veterans.
According to the book Around Montgomery by Joan Wheal-Blank, Civil War veterans formed an organization called the Col. D.A. Montgomery Post #264, Grand Army of the Republic.
The Williamsport Sun and Banner announced in their January 27, 1897 issue that a play would be produced by Mont-
gomery’s new Dramatic Club and that the proceeds would be given to the town’s G.A.R. The members of the dramatic club met to plan the event at the Houston Hotel, which was a towering five-story brick hotel that stood on the corner of North Main Street and East Houston Avenue. The article stated that the dramatic club, “is composed of some of the best talent to be found among the young people of that place.”
They planned to put on a production of “Little Goldie” at the
Montgomery Opera House.
“William H Kemery has been elected manager and Bert Springer stage manager for the new company.
Besides the production of ‘Little Goldie,’ there will be singing and dancing — full three hours of solid fun.”
A book entitled Collection of Plays Ca. 1870 – 1914 – Volume 17, a work describing plays, provided some information, including that the work was entitled, “Little Goldie; or The Child of the Camp.” The description was, “A Western Comedy Drama in 4 acts, by Charles O. Willard, for 11 male and 3 female characters. Time 2 hours.”
As the date of the production drew near, local residents were excited for an evening of entertainment. On March 9, 1897, the Williamsport Sun and Banner reported, “Everybody seems to be enthusiastic over the production of ‘Little Goldie’ which will be given in the opera house tomorrow evening, March 10, and the indications are that there will be a good turnout. The proceeds are for the benefit of the G A R of this place,
which is a guarantee that it will be properly used, and the excellent home talent giving the play should be encouraged by a full house. The Montgomery cornet band will render a number of selections previous to the play and Mr Claude Hartzell will preside at the piano. Admission, 10, 15, and 20c.”
In today’s money, the prices would be $3.87, $5.81, and $7.75, respectively.
Also on March 9, 1897, the Evening News revealed that the fundraiser was for a specific cause within the G.A.R. A Montgomery column simply stated, “‘Little Goldie’ in the opera house Wednesday night for the benefit of the G.A.R. monument fund.’”
In October of 1892, the G.A.R. monument was unveiled at Fairview Cemetery, according the Muncy Luminary and Lycoming County Advertiser on September 16, 1892. The monument was twenty-one feet tall and made from ten tons of marble. On top was three-hundred pound cannon ball made from polished marble.
It wasn’t stated exactly why funds were

needed after the fact. None of the available sources detailed if it was intended for upkeep, upgrades, or if they were still paying for it.
The day after the production, the Wil-
liamsport Sun and Banner gave a good review of the play in their March, 11, 1897, issue by stating, “The Montgomery Dramatic company played “Little Goldie, or the Child of the Camp,” to a full
house last evening, and the performance was pronounced better than that of some of the professional companies who have played here recently. This speaks volumes for our home talent.”
The Evening News also reported on the production on March 11, 1897, by stating, “The large audience which greeted ‘Little Goldie’ last night shows how ready our people are to support home talent, and the manner in which the play was rendered also shows how highly the actors appreciated the support of the their neighbors. Traveling companies have presented many plays here without any greater merits than ‘Little Goldie,’ and we consistently say that many such companies have fallen far short of this local company in the rendition of their plays. This brief comment applies to every member who took part, there having been good, mutual support all around.”
The play was so popular, it was decided to perform the show again. The Pennsylvania Grit reported on March 14, 1897, “The receipts of ‘Little Goldie or the Child of the Camp’ which was produced for the benefit of the G. A. R. by home talent amounted to $39.79. The actual expenses were $24.76, leaving a profit of $15.03, which has been turned over to the treasurer of the G. A. R. to be applied on the monument fund. By request the
The Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Fairview Cemetery in Montgomery was originally constructed to honor the veterans who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. It’s 21 feet high and made of marble. A few years after it was first constructed, a comedic play was put on by the Montgomery Dramatic Club to benefit the monument fund.
play will be repeated next Saturday evening March 20, at reduced prices, 10 and 15 cents.”
With inflation, $39.79 in 1897 would be $1541.10 today,
$24.76 would be $958.97, and $15.03 would be $582.12.
The G.A.R. monument still stands in Fairview Cemetery. Now known as the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument, it has plaques that honor local men who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II.
