  • County Hall Corner: Lycoming County Commissioner Democratic Candidates0

    Larry Stout

    There is a lot of commotion about changing the date of the Pennsylvania Primary next Spring, but we should not have eyes on 2024 until we get through the election of 2023. Director of Voter Services Forrest Lehman really hates the term “off-year election” because every election is important in its own right and should

  • County Hall Corner: The Perfect County Commissioner0

    Larry Stout

    I waited until August 29th to wave the white flag, not for surrender, but as in NASCAR racing, it symbolizes the last lap around the track. In ten weeks, we will have an election, and there will be at least two new Lycoming County Commissioners coming on board. I have been touching base with the

  • The Back-to-School Mindset0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    It feels like once the 4th of July fireworks are quelled, stores and advertisements start gearing up for back-to-school way faster than any of us are ready for. However, as of the writing of these words (August 1st), bookbags, lunchboxes, water bottles, new clothes, and underpants have all been purchased for the first days of

  • Gazette and Bulletin: August 8, 1913 – No One Wants to Be Councilman in Montoursville0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Williamsport has twenty-seven avowed candidates for nomination as city commissioners, or councilmen with more to hear from. Montoursville cannot get anyone to run for councilman and will hold a public meeting this evening to discuss the situation and endeavor to prevail upon a few patriots to stand for election. The present councilmen are Dr. R.

  • County Hall Corner: Defeating the Demon of Addiction0

    Larry Stout

    One of the fallacies of seeing history through the lens of Critical Race Theory is that it distorts the truly amazing elements of American history that have impacted the world. One example was our treatment of criminals. Throughout the world, punishment for crimes was meant to be severe to discourage others who might be tempted

  • What is the Strike Zone?0

    Scott Lowery

    My life-long affiliation with and enjoyment of baseball and basketball has included decades of coaching the games I love. Those years have also included several seasons of umpiring games at various levels of play. While coaching decisions are sometimes questioned by the game’s fans, such differences of opinion are often greatly overshadowed when it comes

  • County Hall Corner: Poll Me Out0

    Larry Stout

    One refreshing thing that comes out of the Lycoming County Commissioners Meetings is that Scott Metzger, Tony Mussare, and Rick Mirabito have a mind of their own and follow their own convictions. Yes, they listen to their constituency — quite well, actually — but they are not controlled by them. Unfortunately, the normal pattern is

  • The World of Weird Words0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    While perusing my Brobdingnagian list of oddball vocabulary for this week’s selection, I noted that very early on, I’d included “sesquipedalian.” The wonderful American Heritage Dictionary defines this as “long and ponderous,” “polysyllabic” or “given to using long words.” Perfect, I thought; let’s focus this list on words of unusual length. So in keeping with

  • Leadership Litmus Test0

    Scott Lowery

    Regardless of what occupation you may hold, what political persuasion you have, the size of your bank account, or your concern over social issues, it is becoming increasingly clear that most of us have one thing in common; a strong desire to clear the air of the divisiveness, rancor, mistrust, and wasted anger that has

  • We Are in a Battle for the Soul of America0

    Jim Webb

    I have waited to write this article until President Joe Biden officially announced his intention regarding the 2024 election. Last Tuesday, he did just that, releasing a video asking the American people for more time to “finish this job.” Before I get started, I want to clarify that I would be writing the same words

  • County Hall Corner: Campaign Cash0

    Larry Stout

    It is difficult to drive a car more than a mile without seeing at least one campaign sign for a candidate running in the May primary. For the past few weeks, I have received circulars in my daily mail promoting candidates running for local offices. And, of course, this weekly paper and the local daily

  • Moving Towards May0

    Jim Webb

    As I awoke early and watched the news, it was just more of the same. Please don’t let as-seen-on-TV affect your mental health; turn it off, pray, and go about your day. There are a few topics I’ve been meaning to hit, as well as some words from you on black bear break-ins, so away

  • County Hall Corner: Prepping for the Primary – School Boards Edition0

    Larry Stout

    In the field of business statistics, there is a term called the “long tail” to describe the phenomena of unexpected occurrences that occur from a “head” or central point of distribution of the product or service. The ‘long tail’ that has emerged from the COVID shutdowns and virtual education is a very strong parental backlash.

  • Socialism – An Evil Veiled Deceptor0

    Jim Webb

    I wrote this column for the March 6, 2019, edition. This is prior to the DNC recognizing that Joe Biden was their best chance to win the Oval Office back. I understand there is a lot of water under the bridge since then and the world around us has gone mad in even more ways.

  • Timing Is Everything0

    Jim Webb

    Before I get to my thoughts on how much time remains for our 46th President to call the White House his home, I’ll begin with some positive light. The cover of the Webb Weekly reads February the 1st, and that’s great news. January is in the rear-view mirror; the groundhog will soon be coming out

  • County Hall Corner: How to Get Your “Running” Shoes On0

    Larry Stout

    It was once true of the United States when our Constitution was written in 1787 that even to be a voter, an individual had to be a white male and a property owner over the age of 21. Through the next couple of centuries and the passage of the 14th, 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th
