    Special thanks to those who gave me some love. I received several notes and thank-yous from readers about some recent columns. Most were nice. A few were not. No worries.

  • Crowning Champions in March0

    Scott Lowery

    In a well-known metaphor dating back to 1879, the phrase ‘there’s light at the end of the tunnel’ is often used to describe the end of disappointing times. Unashamedly, repeating its usage today, the same can be said as March’s arrival has brought with it increasing daylight, signs of approaching spring, the beginning of the

    I have been thinking and praying, and praying and thinking, a lot lately about a tough decision. I was torn and really searching for a sign. I gave myself a timeline and kept asking God for clarity. Pastor Tim has always said that God hears all prayers. Sometimes it is a yes, sometimes it is

  • 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

    Jimmy Webb III

    I went to Lock Haven University, which some would call the Harvard of the PSAC, and it also happens to be a great teaching school. A lot of my friends went to college to become teachers, and I also have many friends who are currently teaching. It’s an incredibly important job and, honestly, a pretty

The program is called “Hats for Heat,” and it was the brainchild of Vince Reeder and Echo Mitchell. Vince posted an image of his “lucky hat” online, and the interest from people who saw

    Dave Heaps from Montoursville asked if I would give a short presentation. I said yes before I got any of the details. I never shy away from a crowd.

    As we close out October, there are so many issues that seem to bring negativity to our American Spirit. I believe in the two-party system, and Republicans and Democrats work for the American people. Lost in the world of today is the having of a beer and a sandwich together after Congress breaks. This so

    Scott Lowery

    Although it is not a word most folks use in everyday conversation, conundrum was a word often used by a colleague during my pre-retirement working days. Meaning “puzzle, mystery, challenge,” it sounded a bit like a sophisticated way to express ‘there’s trouble ahead.’ Somewhere along life’s path of journalistic learning, I was told the number

    As a kid growing up in New York with an Italian father and an Irish mother, two things were certain at dinnertime — there would either be potatoes or pasta as a starch, and we always had access to a good loaf of bread.
