    If you are like me, for the past several weeks you’ve probably shared summer travel experiences with friends and neighbors. Especially for those with school-age kids who play fall sports, these school-free vacation months provide the opportunity to share some time away. But regardless of your family status, most folks welcome a break from the

    Have Extensive NHL Pedigree For the first time in Williamsport’s long and storied baseball history, a pair of brothers grace the roster of a Williamsport professional team. If that isn’t notable enough, the brothers, Steele and Slaide Burd, have an extensive National Hockey League pedigree in their background. Two of their great-grandfathers are NHL Hall

  • Weird Words for Hero-Lovers: More Vocab. from “Mockingbird”0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    The prestigious American Film Institute — a nonprofit group promoting film heritage — loves to make lists: the 100 greatest movies; 100 greatest comedies; greatest thrillers; greatest stars; greatest movie-quotes — and a whole lot more. In the early 2000s, when AFI announced their forthcoming roster of 100 greatest heroes & villains, some friends and

    As we are reminded by attending a local SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) gathering, as our country approaches its 250th celebration, baseball and sports in general hold a very special place in our community’s history. ‘Historic’ Bowman Field will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this summer. Eighty-eight years ago, Carl Stotz stumbled over a

    Jimmy Webb III

    I get deep in thought while doing random things. This time, I was walking around with Beau, trying to keep him from crying. My dad is cleaning out my brother’s old room at our house, and we used to share a closet. He had everything pulled out, and we were going through it. While digging

  • A Great and Golden Triumph Courtesy of USA Hockey0

    Jim Webb

    I declare February 22nd National Hockey Day across the USA. A day to celebrate the proud, hardworking commitment made on the ice for decades by those who wear the USA across their chest. This day, as most of you know, produced the first Miracle on Ice in 1980. When Coach Herb Brooks’ group of college

    Scott Lowery

    It was a typical Sunday morning as the pastor stood before the parishioners making the weekly church announcements. As he departed to join the choir for the formal entrance to begin the service, he suddenly reappeared, stating, “One more announcement, the hockey game is 1-1 after two periods.” The congregation nodded and smiled approvingly. The

    The same rural values that teach children to work hard and stay humble also forge the character necessary to excel when global spotlights shine brightest. This truth became evident last week when Olympic gold medalist Megan Keller scored the game-winning goal for Team USA women’s hockey, bringing joy not only to her immediate family but

  • A Mixed Bag0

    Scott Lowery

    The objective began with simple intentions, searching the closet for an item I thought was readily at hand. Instead, it led to premature ‘spring cleaning’ with unused items finding their way into bags to be donated or discarded. While unintended, the exercise provided a refreshing cleansing experience. Accordingly, a similar approach provides the opportunity to

    My good friend Nick Tagliaferri and I were somewhat celebrities. OK. That was many moons back. We simply took advantage of our impressive basketball coaching resumes and candid personalities. SPENCE TAG RADIO was well before its time. This weekly gig had many listeners. But no major sponsors. Our successes were very short-lived. I truly believe

    As the Indiana Hoosiers were close to completing their meteor-like rise to the NCAA football National Championship, coach Curt Cignetti responded to a reporter’s question, answering, “This would make a good movie!” While that could indeed become a reality, trying to sell such an outlandish movie script to Hollywood before Cignetti’s arrival in Bloomington two

  • Waiting for Vocab: Oddball Terms from “Godot”0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Last week, Webb’s Weird Words trotted out one of our standard oddball vocabulary lists — this one including succedanea (suck-suh-DAY-nee-yuh). The plural form of a noun meaning “substitute” — especially a replacement medicine — it’s perhaps best known from a brief appearance in Samuel Beckett’s tragicomedy Waiting for Godot. Now more than 70 years old,

The event has many interesting aspects, including the crowning of the Annual Flaming Foliage Festival Queen, a parade through downtown Renovo, three full

    Situation Hopeless … But Not Serious is a quirky little black-and-white film from 1965. Set near the end of World War II, it concerns two U.S. flyers kept hidden in a German basement after bailing out over enemy territory; their kooky captor winds up holding them long after the war has ended — by not

    As I’m writing this, it’s Friday, June 27th. And y’all. It’s been a week. I could use several expletives to describe the weather this week, most of which include references to the devil and the home in which he lives. We have also been on the struggle bus as far as technology is concerned in

    The perusal of recent help-wanted ads in local media outlets underlines what can be a difficult challenge for area school districts seeking individuals to coach their various athletic teams.

    The year was 1964. It was a momentous and interesting year in almost every field of endeavor, from popular culture to politics and many things in between. That year’s most spectacular event in popular culture was the advent of “Beatlemania.” Four lads from Liverpool dominated that year’s music charts. In the week of April 4,

    If, like me, you name Inside Out as your preferred Pixar, I have a prediction: From now on, when asked for a favorite from that studio, you will likely reply, “The Inside Out movies!” I’ll be danged if the sequel isn’t just as good as its predecessor — and that’s saying something. Nearly 10 years

    In a scoreless PSAC soccer match between rivals Lock Haven and Bloomsburg, the Lady Huskies were on the attack. From the wing, a strong kick made its way toward a Bloom teammate streaking toward the goal. As a Lock Haven defender closed in, the kick-pass missed its intended target, striking the LHU player squarely in

    Traced back to the ancient days of the Roman Empire, warnings have existed to “beware the ides of March,” a saying forecasting troubled times ahead.

    “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard” has long been the traditional cry of scorecard vendors inside the entrance of baseball stadiums. In recent years that same rationale could be applied to college football fans in understanding the membership of various conferences around the country.
