  • Gringos, Rivers, Hearts and Paradise: Best Reads from 20250

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Right around January 1 each year, book-loving friends start sharing their reading lists from the past 12 months — exchanging tallies, finds and recommendations. Back when I had school-age kids and a full-time job, I managed only 40 or 50 a year; but as a retired empty-nester in 2025, I chalked up a whopping 142

  • Hunter & Smith: Good Guys0

    Scott Lowery

    As the anticipation of Christmas faded in the distance and the new year quickly approached, news media outlets filled their space with ‘lookbacks’ of 2025, which, in all too many instances, recalled a year filled with much tragedy and violence. As a “Webb Weekly” contributor since the first issue of the publication, those who read

  • The Roving Sportsman… Less Stress in 2026!0

    Jon Pries

    The Holiday Season is winding down, the year is coming to a close, and folks are conjuring up their New Year’s resolutions. There are always the ever-popular promises to oneself to lose weight or to finally set up a budget and get our finances in order. These, however, seem like goals that are easier to

  • Wouldn’t that Be a Great Thanksgiving?0

    Tim Hartzell

    In review, we are on a quest to answer five questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What am I missing? What is truth? What must I do? Before proposing answers, we have taken time to discuss the quest for truth, the spiritual instinct placed in us by God, the power of belief, and

  • Much More Than a Game0

    Scott Lowery

    The initial awareness of the news seemingly went in one ear and out the other. Another night of senseless violence in Williamsport resulted in the shooting of two teenagers, apparently unrelated incidents, leaving one victim dead and another hospitalized. Our society has entered a dark world where repeated similar occurrences, whether local or national, begin

  • Protecting the Flock: Advice on Domestic Abuse in the Church0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Saturday, November 8, was a gorgeous day of sun, warmth and fiery foliage; but I spent most that time inside my church — attending a conference on domestic abuse. Beside me lay a brochure confirming that one in three women will experience this trauma — and that it’s “just as prevalent within faith communities.” Regular

  • November is National Homelessness Awareness Month0

    Dave Bellomo

    National Homelessness Awareness Month, observed every November, is an opportunity to raise awareness about the realities of homelessness, reduce stigma, and encourage action. By dedicating a month to focus on this issue, people in social services hope to educate the public, influence policy, and mobilize resources to support those in need. Awareness campaigns highlight the

  • “Blood! Blood!” A Long Look at Psycho’s Shower Scene0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    In 2018, an unheralded little documentary came out with this oddball title: 78/52. Dedicated solely to the shower scene in Hitchcock’s Psycho, that film took its title from the number of camera set-ups and shots contained in that now-legendary sequence. It’s safe to say that no one else ever has made — or ever will

  • Lycoming Lion: Where Did You Sleep Last Night?0

    Blair Steward

    The Susquehanna River, a silent witness, carries the memories of the town. It holds the echoes of factories and the rhythm of train wheels, carrying them downstream. In Williamsport, the river flows like a hand that will not stop. Rail bridges slice the sky into lines that resemble music, a symphony of the community’s struggles.

  • County Hall Corner: Behind Family Photo Frames0

    Blair Steward

    Some people still hold disdain for me, but it would be wasteful not to use myself as a cautionary tale if it opens eyes to our county’s most recent proclamation. I survived a severely harsh childhood home despite having every toy imaginable. My cousins never suspected our family’s reality because I never even considered telling

    What Parents Can Do to Spot Cyberbullying0

    Family Features

    Parenting has always been a tall task, but an assortment of new challenges have emerged as the world has shifted during the digital age. No child is immune to bullying, and modern parents can probably point to at least one instance when they were bullied during childhood. But that bullying may bear little resemblance to

    Terri Schlichenmeyer

    Oops. So you made a mistake. If it’s a small one, apologize and move on, you’re all good. If it’s a big one, though, you’ll have a lot more fancy footwork to do because a mere mea culpa probably won’t be enough. You may feel sorry and have deep regrets, but as in the new

  • Hopefully, the Beginning Not a Tragic End0

    Jim Webb

    The very freedoms that have enabled our Nation to achieve greatness have always created a vulnerability to be used against the law-abiding in an evil manner. Unfortunately, last week, as we remembered 9/11, the 10th of September became another day we must not forget. My thoughts and prayers go out to the wife and children

    Steph Noviello

    “But when people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to commit violence against that group. What we as a culture have to get back to

    Jim Webb

    A happy summer to everyone. There is so much good going on in our neck of the woods; we all need to find positivity and pass it on with a side of kindness. This especially holds true on the highways. I’m just putting this out there in the most straightforward way possible; everybody makes mistakes

  • County Hall Corner: More Than a Sheriff – Mark Lusk0

    Larry Stout

    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. This was the foundation for a career in public service that will probably never be seen again. A year after graduating from Loyalsock High School in 1976, Mark Lusk joined
