    Scott Lowery

    While the smoke from the various fireworks shows celebrating America 250 has long since faded away, the sights and sounds of the holiday spectacular remain vividly entrenched in my memory, as does the reluctance and disdain emanating from those using the very freedoms provided by this country to bash the nation, even on the occasion

    Wrenched – Nefarious – Business – Attitude. Should the league, now ‘celebrating’ its 30th year of existence, be looking for a new marketing slogan, they are welcome to use this one. No charge. It fits them well! Showman P.T. Barnum is credited with saying, “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” The rationale being

  • That’s Not Fair0

    Scott Lowery

    Think back to your childhood days and how many times you may have uttered those words. Even as adults, most have thought about or spoken those three little words at some time when confronted with a situation that seemed unbalanced. In reality, life itself is unfair, but athletic competition is meant to be undertaken on

    The Super Bowl is history. Punxsutawney Phil has graced us with six more weeks of winter. Income tax preparations have us all grumbling a bit. Hopefully, Valentine’s Day will put a bit of levity into the February proceedings. Ah, but look at the bright side. Major League Baseball players are reporting to Spring Training camps

    I have a hard time believing that I’ve been doing this for 12 years! I picked up the torch from Mike Rafferty on a whim, and this column has gotten way more traction than I could have predicted (pun fully intended). Y’all know the drill by now. But in case you need a recap. Every

    Many of you have ‘taken a chance’ this week by going to your nearest polling place and expressing your preference as to who elected leaders will be.

    A very long time ago, in a gymnasium nearby. A friend was in a bind. He reached out for some help. I was on the fence. I had been away from the game for a year. I enjoyed my first undefeated season from the stands. But I missed it. I talked things over with my

  • “The Phoenician Scheme”: Wes Anderson Gets Religion0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Perhaps only Wes Anderson would have the audacity to cast Bill Murray as God. He’s also among the few people who could pull it off — without seeming blasphemous or just plain silly. In fact, the latest from this idiosyncratic filmmaker — The Phoenician Scheme — winds up charting a similarly surprising spiritual journey: It

    Last week, Webb’s “Weird Words” celebrated a major milestone with our 100th vocabulary column. That somewhat self-indulgent piece comprised a description of my weekly writing process; but it also mentioned another recent milestone: Sometime in the past month or so, the running master-doc—the one from which I draw my lists each week—managed to cross 3,000

  • Shot Clock Coming0

    For anyone who has ever shot baskets at a driveway or playground hoop, you know the feeling. All alone, you take a few dribbles as an imaginary clock counts down in your mind. 5-4-3-2 and just as the ‘clock’ hits 1, the ball is released skyward towards the awaiting hoop. As the ball swishes cleanly

  • Do-Over0

    Scott Lowery

    Sometimes in child’s play, or a hacker’s round of golf, a ‘do-over’ is called. It is just what the phrase implies, a second chance to handle a situation differently. It’s not about pretending a first attempt never happened, but rather an opportunity to improve an action the second time around. For Williamsport Crosscutters manager Kenny

    As July Fourth approaches like a whizzing bottle-rocket, regular readers of Webb’s “Weird Words” might wonder what thematic approach could possibly connect this holiday with our ongoing study of vocabulary.

  • Looking Back0

    Scott Lowery

    H.G. Wells’s 1895 science fiction novel Time Machine has been much scrutinized and talked about over the years. The work suggested a concept of time travel using a device to travel purposely forward or backward through time. Not being a Wells fan or proponent of the notion, I have previously never paid any attention to

    Scott Lowery

    As a ten-year-old Little Leaguer, Peter Sinibaldi dreamed of someday hitting a walk-off home run just like his New York Yankees heroes were doing. Eight years later, his walk-off single gave his South Williamsport high school team a 2-1 win over Sayre, clinching the school’s second consecutive District IV championship. Telling the media after the
