When Tom Marino was elected for his fifth term of office for the U.S. House of Representatives, he was confident it would be his last campaign.

A rather interesting debate occurred at the work session of the County Commissioners on June 18th when Commissioner Tony Mussare questioned Ed Robbins, Director of Juvenile Probation, rather intensely over the cost of sending at-risk youth to the George Junior Republic complex at Grove City, PA. Commissioner Mussare was gagging over the price tag of
Let’s start this piece by first talking about cover and structure for fish. So what does the title, “Wildlife Leadership Academy” have to do with cover and structure?

For all you far-to-the-left, beyond-liberal socialites, I’m even going to provide you a disclaimer with this week’s column, please do not read beyond this point. The information is impossible for you to understand, let alone accept, and your head might explode. For you far-to-the-left, mainstream-media makers and reporters of what is supposed to be the
Believe it or not, it is, in fact, summer. Mother Nature hasn’t seemed to have gotten the memo, but it is summer. Heat, sun, humidity, salt water, and chlorine can all wreak havoc on your hair. So what can you do to protect your hair or undo some of the damage? Glad you asked. Here
Alize Johnson continues to amaze. I’m pretty sure you already know his incredible story. You see, last spring Alize became the very first from our area to get drafted in the NBA. The second round pick of the Indiana Pacers had a solid rookie campaign. He spent most of his season recording ridiculous numbers with
It was with sadness, mixed with nostalgia that baseball fans both locally and across the country learned of the death of Frank Lucchesi, former Williamsport Grays manager, and big league manager for the Phillies, Cubs, and Rangers, last week at the age 92. Frank — and it is hard to think of calling him anything

There is an old, old saying that is better to give a hand up than a hand out. It is a simple saying, but it is a challenge to implement. A good example is the work of the American Rescue Workers (ARW) and their support to men and women who have just been released from
Due to a conflict with the start of the NBA Summer League, Alize Johnson will be unable to appear in-person at his bobblehead giveaway scheduled for July 6.

The NBA playoffs are over, and the Raptors were victorious — yea! Deservedly so Kawhi Leonard received the playoff MVP. It was an amazing performance throughout the playoffs by Kawhi and an incredible success story for the Toronto Raptors — go Canada! I am not a huge NBA fan anymore but like to root for
I don’t often write about walleye fishing because in recent years I haven’t pursued them as frequently as I have in the past. Sure, I manage to pick up a few walleyes every year but it’s often while I’m chasing some other species of fish like bass or pike. In years past I would often
Every organization has that one job that everyone wants to avoid. Believe it or not, the county court system has one too — and it is called Family Court.

World War II French Military Leader Jean de Lattre de Tassiguy was once quoted saying, “An optimist is a man who plants two acorns and buys a hammock.” I often pass by South Williamsport Lions Club member Max Dell’s house and have not yet spotted either oak trees or a hammock in his yard.
