  • 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 Way He Was: Remembering Robert Redford0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    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

    There’s not much left to do at the Ryder Cup. Enough with the talk and prep. It’s time to tee it up. Matches will get underway in just a few hours. Golf fans and I will be glued to the television the entire weekend. It is the ultimate team competition. The United States versus the

    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.

    As many of you will receive this publication the day before Christmas, it is appropriate to reflect upon the famous Clement C. Moore poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas. Telling about the visit from the jolly one, Moore’s poem concludes with the one-line message, “Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!” Christmas

    My good friend Nick Tagliaferri and I WERE somewhat celebrities. We took advantage of our impressive coaching resumes. SPENCE TAG RADIO was well before its time.

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    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

    I am thankful to be at Lycoming. This is my second stint as the Warrior’s Golf Coach. I took a five-year hiatus after my mid-life crisis. I was with the team from 2001 to 2015. I stepped away to focus on other side hustles. They were extremely fun while they lasted. I got the call

    Those who serve as scholastic athletic coaches are familiar with the drill.

    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.

    Football old-timers may remember the story. During the 1970s Garo Yepremian, of Armenia descent, was a kicker for the Detroit Lions. He had never seen a professional football game before he suited up with the Lions. In his first game, he kicked a last-second game-winning extra point. As he ran off the field with his

    For centuries the unanswered question, “what came first, the chicken or the egg,” has been debated. Although it has nothing to do with sports, a similar thought crossed my mind while attending a high school football game with no visiting fans in the stands. Fan rooting interest has long provided the spark that makes athletics

    We are in truly remarkable times. Consider the past one hundred years, and what events stopped this country in its tracks.

    If you attended a high school basketball game during the recently completed season, you most likely would have heard student cheering sections erupt with the phrase ‘you can’t do that’ when an opposing player violated the playing rules.
