A Pennsylvania man has officially taken his love of movies to a whole new level. 60-year-old Glenwood Hoskin Jr. watched 1,207 movies in theaters over the course of ONE YEAR, averaging more than three movies a day to snag a Guinness World Record. He planned his days around theater showtimes, sometimes watching movies from early morning until midnight.

Williamsport elementary art teacher honored with top state award

Williamsport, Pa. — The Williamsport Area School District is proud to announce that Chelsea Cramer, Cochran Primary School's primary art teacher, has been named the recipient of the 2026 Pennsylvania Art Education Association (PAEA) Outstanding Elementary Art Educator Award. Through a rigorous review process, PAEA recognized Cramer for her creative contributions, excellence in professional engagement, and dedication to service, highlighting her leadership and commitment to advancing art education across Pennsylvania. “I’m truly honored to receive this recognition from PAEA. One of the things I love most about teaching art is watching students discover what they’re capable of when they have opportunities to make creative choices and explore their own ideas. I want my students to see themselves as artists, feel confident taking creative risks, and know that their ideas matter. For me, art education is about so much more than the finished artwork — it’s about the curiosity, independence, and problem-solving that happen along the way.” Cramer also adds how important it is to work alongside other art educators that share the same passion: “I’m also fortunate to work alongside an amazing group of art educators who share ideas, encourage one another, and inspire me to keep learning and growing.

Marine Corps League sets 251st birthday ball in Jersey Shore

Jersey Shore, Pa. — The Williamsport Detachment #388 of the Marine Corps League will hold its annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball Friday, Nov. 6, in Jersey Shore. This year’s ball marks the 251st birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps and will also recognize the nation’s 250th anniversary, according to the detachment. The event is set to take place at Bald Birds Brewing Company, 220 Shaffer Lane, from 5 to 10 p.m. Retired Master Sgt. Robert Mosley, USMC, will be the guest speaker. Entertainment will be by guest singers Kooper and Kash, featuring former Tiadaghton Queen Ava Musser. The evening will include catered dining, the reading of Gen. John A. Lejeune’s 1921 birthday message and the traditional cake cutting, in which the first pieces go to the guest of honor and the oldest and youngest Marines present.

The first Marines were enlisted at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia. “We invite our members, local veterans, military families and community supporters to join us for an unforgettable evening,” a representative for the detachment said.

After decades of playing other artists’ music, local residents Steve and Kristi Jean Branstetter are telling their own stories. The State College couple recently released the self-titled debut al b um from One Acre West , an Americana band built around original songs shaped by their years of traveling, raising a family, building careers and finding a home in central Pennsylvania. Released Sept. 18, the album blends traditional country influences with folk, blues and Southern rock. Recorded in Texas with an Austin-based producer, the 10-track album marks a new chapter for the musicians, who spent more than a decade performing cover songs around Centre County before deciding to focus on their own material. “We've been married for a really long time. We met when we were both living in Colorado,” Steve Branstetter said. Music has been part of their relationship since the beginning. The two met while living in Colorado and spent years performing in cover bands to support themselves, including gigs in Denver, Wyoming, Nebraska and Mexico. “We played in cover bands for decades, and it just was one of those things that the nature of music kind of changed around in this area.
