    I recently had the opportunity to touch base with Coach Ron Insinger. We had a fun chat before a summer league game on Monday. I wrote a great piece on 50 years of the CI CAMP, but… Steph just called and asked for my stuff. Wait? What? My email never went. My article was gone.

    For Alizabeth Schuler and her South Williamsport High School softball teammates, it was like Ground Hog Day all over again. As the state championship game ended, the Mounties fell to state powerhouse Neshannock for the second year in a row.

    Props to the Montoursville Warriors on a fantastic season. They are heading to the 4A PIAA State Championship. The outcome will be determined by the time we go to print. But win or lose. These guys are rock stars. We are so dang proud. I have many ties to their coaches and players. I hope

    H.G. Wells’s 1895 science fiction novel Time Machine has been much scrutinized and talked about over the years. The work suggested a concept of time travel using a device to travel purposely forward or backward through time. Not being a Wells fan or proponent of the notion, I have previously never paid any attention to

    Scott Lowery

    As a ten-year-old Little Leaguer, Peter Sinibaldi dreamed of someday hitting a walk-off home run just like his New York Yankees heroes were doing. Eight years later, his walk-off single gave his South Williamsport high school team a 2-1 win over Sayre, clinching the school’s second consecutive District IV championship. Telling the media after the

    Jim Webb

    As I watched, listened, and then researched the events unfolding before my very eyes, the one emotion I felt the most was hope. This followed the initial shock that an American-born individual was actually named the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. The word Pope, which is derived from Latin, simply means Father. There is

    Decades ago, the City of Williamsport conducted a public contest inviting entries seeking to identify a new promotional slogan.

    Through the years, Lycoming County’s high schools have produced some high-flying and high-scoring girls’ basketballers, but perhaps none has been as distinguished as the Jersey Shore Bulldogs’ Peyton Dincher.

    Among the proverbs often kicked around is one traced back to Thomas Fuller in 1732 pertaining to the arrival of March weather. Referring to the month as coming in like a lion and departing as a lamb, it depicts a cold, windy, snowy start, eventually giving way to glimpses of spring’s coming beauty and warmth.

    Famed film director and producer Andy Warhol once was quoted as saying, “The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting.” Although Warhol’s words are still with us, they cannot be applied to last week’s much-hyped first round of the NCAA college football playoffs, which, after months of ballyhooed buildup, lacked both the excitement
