    As we honor our veterans in the upcoming week, I would like to share with you a quote from General Colin Powell. General Powell passed away in 2021 and is now honored at the very place he spoke these words. “The Nation owes a great debt to its veterans, whose sacrifice to the Nation spans

  • Life, Liberty, and an Appreciation of Both0

    Jim Webb

    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

  • Conundrum0

    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

    Over the years, Jean has made the same remark many times. “Aren’t we lucky we have made so many friends and had so many good times through the involvement we’ve had with sports?” Each time, I shake my head in agreement. Sports have been a constant in my life since I was a youngster, and

    Steph Noviello

    If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say, “There’s nothing to do here!” I wouldn’t be writing this article. I would be independently wealthy and drinking something fruity out of a coconut on a beach somewhere. But alas, here we are, and once again, I’m going to prove people wrong. I’ve

    Hello, West Branch Valley and beyond! As I drove to the office early Friday morning, I was looking for a little inspiration to lead me to my column. I just felt like we all needed a little change of direction equivalent to one of Saquon Barkley’s amazing cuts on a Sunday afternoon. As I looked

    Dave Bellomo

    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. Admittedly, my relationship with bread is complicated. I loved bread growing

    In last week’s LION article encouraging volunteerism, I highlighted the Lycoming County Sheriff Mark Lusk’s early career that included thousands of hours of volunteer service.
