  • Political Pervasiveness0

    Scott Lowery

    It was a lesson learned long ago when my interest in journalism was in its infancy. A scribe well-versed in the occupation passed on his warning – ‘If you ever become a columnist, don’t include your personal opinions regarding politics or religion in what you write.’ That advice is spot-on, as those of you who

  • “I Do Solemnly Swear”: Words for the Inauguration0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    This week, Webb’s “Weird Words” takes a break from its series involving X, Y and Z; indeed, rather than looking at the end of our alphabet, we will honor the beginning of something else: namely, Donald J. Trump’s forthcoming inauguration — which marks only the second time a U.S. president has served two nonconsecutive terms.

  • 2025 Together More Important Than Ever0

    Jim Webb

    I’m going to begin my first column of the year with my thoughts and prayers not only for those victimized by terror in New Orleans but for all dealing with the senseless violence seen across our Nation. This is a problem that will need all of us to come together to prevent future tragedies. We

  • County Hall Corner: Why the Press is Depressed0

    Larry Stout

    I generally attend the weekly Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting and sit in the back with my other local press colleagues. I truly appreciate how objectively honest these journalists are. Their columns are straight up and accurate. It seems like a lifetime ago when newspapers simply told what happened, and the editorial page would be the

  • X Marks the Spot0

    Larry Stout

    I was in Moscow in August 1991 with my wife and three children, and after a two-hour wait, we finally were able to get into McDonalds, which had just opened four months before, the first one in Russia. While we were enjoying our Big Macs, my oldest son, David, looked out the window and remarked

  • Buchanan is Off the Hook0

    Larry Stout

    James Buchanan Jr. was the 15th president of the United States, serving from 1857 to 1861. Historians and scholars generally rank Buchanan as the worst president in American history. Unfortunately, he was also the only president to come from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But I believe his rank will change as historians assess the full

  • ELF on the Shelf.0

    Jamie Spencer

    Tis the season, folks, and instead of sharing a story on sports, I’d like to chime in on something far more important. Yes, it’s time to talk about The Elf on the Shelf. For those of you without young children, this article might help explain that creepy little butthead now flooding your social media pages.

  • Here’s Help for Hitting the Road: Audio Books for Holiday Travel0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Oh, by gosh, by jingle; it’s time for carols and Kris Kringle… … plus car rides and complaining kids! Yes, it’s that time of year … when so many folks head over the river and through the woods … on very long trips to grandmother’s house. And as in 2023, Webb’s resident book-lover herewith suggests

  • Repasz Band’s 2024 Holiday Concert0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    By Joseph W. Smith III This year’s annual holiday concert by the Repasz Band features a sleigh-full of seasonal songs: old and new; traditional and modern; quiet and rambunctious; hymns, carols, medleys and pop tunes — with a little bit of Batman and a bit more Walt Disney. Now nearing its 200th anniversary in 2031

  • Pennsylvania Voters Didn’t Buy It0

    Jim Webb

    As I watched Channel 16 to begin my Friday morning after the election, there was a rock concert going on with Joe Snedeker in the backyard. This made possible by the fact they didn’t have to fill half the airtime with political commercials. Thank goodness this is finally over. I have Penn State blue and

    Jamie Spencer

    Special thanks to those who supported my efforts. I decided to throw my hat into the ring at the very last minute. I was tired of the division — all of the hatred. The plethora of television advertisements made me cry. Then came all of the phone calls, random texts, and spam. You seriously can’t

  • County Hall Corner: The Real Losers0

    Larry Stout

    I have been following politics since my teen years in the 1960s, and I thought it was crazy then. Nothing has been more crazy, weird, bizarre, and just plain stupid than this past presidential election. The Second Coming of Trump is certainly getting the attention, but there are casualties that are worth looking at. We

  • Trump Political Comeback Historic but Not Unprecedented0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    When Donald Trump won back the Presidency in this past election, most people probably thought that this was the first time that this historic feat had been accomplished, but they would be wrong. This remarkable feat was accomplished one other time, 130 years ago, by Grover Cleveland, who became the 22nd and 24th President after

  • County Hall Corner: Is it Time for a Change?0

    Larry Stout

    After teaching leadership for education, business, and political officials in Europe and Asia for a number of years, I compiled my program into a book in 2006 entitled, Ideal Leadership: Time for a Change. Ironically, Barack Obama was running for president and used “Change” as his campaign focus. Many thought I was piggybacking on Obama,

  • America Must Change Direction With the 2024 Election0

    Jim Webb

    This wasn’t how my column was to begin this week, but as I drove into work this past Friday, my Father and Chris Downs were on my mind. It was on October 25th — my dad left us 12 years ago, which is hard to believe in so many ways. A day doesn’t go by
