  • County Hall Corner: Don’t Wait to Dial 9880

    Larry Stout

    Even children know to dial 911 in an emergency. But not every crisis is a 911 emergency — some require a helper rather than a healer. This is when it is best to dial 988. In July 2020, the FCC adopted rules to establish 988 as the nationwide, easy-to-remember 3-digit dialing code for people in

  • The Roving Sportsman… A Sincere Thank You to All Veterans0

    Jon Pries

    Over the years, veterans have returned home from the trenches in Europe, from the jungles of Southeast Asia, and from the desolate countryside of the Middle East. But not all made it home.

    Steph Nordstrom

    The weather may beg to differ, but summer is winding down. You can already feel the chill in the air in the morning, and the sun is setting earlier every day. The kids (for the most part) are all back in school, so it’s time to talk about the not-so-fun stuff — internet safety, bullying,

  • Take Care of Your Mental Health0

    Steph Nordstrom

    I think it’s safe to say that it’s tough out there today. There is so much going on in the world — drugs, rape, murder, poverty, hunger, abuse, insane inflation, racism, sexism, the rest of the -isms, health concerns, money concerns, trying to find enough hours in the day to get everything done that needs

    The ominous sky opened up just moments before the Lycoming County Veterans Council was set to begin its annual Memorial Day Service at Williamsport’s West Fourth Street Veterans Memorial Park.

  • County Hall Corner: What Has COVID Done to the Next Generation?0

    Larry Stout

    For the new year, I had in my mind an article to identify the area that could possibly have the longest impact on the future as a result of the past two years of government action in relation to the COVID virus. I am afraid the winner (actually loser) would be the negative impact on

    “Be kind to people and don’t judge, for you do not know what demons they carry and what battles they are fighting.” ~ Vashti Quiroz-Vega Typically, this time of year, I try to avoid ‘heavy’ subjects.

    Health Benefits of Coffee Part 20

    Dave Bellomo

    As I mentioned in part 1 of this article, I love coffee. On a cold day, it seems to warm my soul, and on the rare occasion, I have time to camp, a pot of coffee made over an open fire may be the greatest invention mankind has ever bestowed upon this earth. I’m often

    Larry Stout

    On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln made a short dedication speech, just 271 words, beginning with “Four score and seven years ago.” It was a forceful reminder that 87 years earlier, a document known as the Declaration of Independence was signed by representatives of the 13 colonies, declaring that they wanted to form a

  • This Week’s LION: Recognizing Thirteen Fallen Heroes0

    Larry Stout

    The number of indignities in the fiasco of America’s departure from Afghanistan would fill volumes, but one that has got almost no media attention was the blocking of official recognition by Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the US House of Representatives floor for the recognition of the thirteen US military personnel who lost their lives just

    So — clearly — I am not Jimmy. Jimmy has been incredibly busy organizing football broadcasts, filming Touchdowns & Tailgates and making sure our advertisers are well taken care of. So, he asked me if I could fill in for the week. All he asked was that I keep things positive. I’m pretty good at

    Did you just fall into the lap of luxury? It might’ve seemed so. The bed was much nicer than yours, with a comforter like cotton candy. The carpet was sink-to-your-ankles thick. The bathroom, wow, and the view outside the window almost made you speechless. A room like that can make a vacation better. In “The
