  • St. John’s Newberry United Methodist Church Celebrating 150 Years of Faith and Commitment0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Not many churches celebrate 150 years of existence and service to God and their community; happily, St. John’s Newberry United Methodist Church is one of them. Now, as many congregations of all denominations are melting away and closing the doors of their churches, it seems appropriate to look back and celebrate a church that is

    As most of you know by now, I am a huge advocate of exercise as medicine. You also probably know that there is a mountain of evidence supporting a long list of benefits of regular exercise.

  • County Hall Corner: I Fought the Law and the Law Won0

    Larry Stout

    A standard science-fiction device is an unstoppable foe. It could be a virus or disease, an alien invasion, or a monomaniac bent on world conquest, but the common strain is that its power grows and grows without anyone being able to stop it. We have had such a creature growing in the United States for

  • Rocking The Monument for Gold Star Families0

    Alivia Tagliaferri

    For many military families, the drumbeat of war and deployments of loved ones to war zones over the last twenty years heightened their senses of things once mundane — the honks, horns, waving flags — as long last looks and tight embraces at departure gave way to a throbbing beat inside their chest as the

  • Who’s in Charge?0

    Scott Lowery

    Sadly, in today’s world, the word ‘bubble’ has taken on a totally different meaning than that used to describe a luxurious bath or a child’s gum. It’s now a protective word meant to shield one from interactions and danger from the outside world. During last month’s Little League Baseball World Series, the ‘bubble’ that surrounded

  • County Hall Corner: God Help Us0

    Larry Stout

    From the United States Congress to local municipalities, official meeting sessions are generally opened with a prayer. Often these are more directed toward the audience hearing them than Almighty God. Still, at the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on September 7th, Commissioner Chairman Scott Metzger opened the session with a prayer that spoke volumes. It deserves

    It’s hard to believe 20 years have slipped into the future since that second day of infamy in American history. I remember it like it was yesterday.

  • This Week’s LION: The 9/11 Memorial Riders0

    Larry Stout

    On September 11, 2001, our nation was paralyzed over three separate terrorist hijackings of passenger planes.

Circling around the city of Williamsport, they symbolically demonstrated freedom in action. From that

    The disaster playing out in Afghanistan reminds many of Vietnam, but my mind was reminded of the 444 days of captivity of the US Embassy personnel in Iran in the late 1970s. It was no coincidence that these Americans were freed on the day of Ronald Reagan’s inauguration, January 20, 1981. There was a new

    I want to make this as blatantly clear as possible. The above three are driven by money, power, and beyond greed. They couldn’t care a laboratory rat’s tail about you.

    The media echo chamber is clamoring that the new variant of COVID should have us all shaking in fear. Yet many people in our area have commented to me how distrustful they are of the news media. One reason why I believe that is true is because of the way government of cials or media

    The 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, is finally ready to light the torch after a year’s delay. There will be no fans at the games, which without a doubt is the right call after what we have seen in the last year and a half. This protects not only the athletes but also
