Last week I learned the sad news that Captain C.A.”Pete” Tzomes, U.S. Navy Ret. had died at his home in Moline, Illinois, from his good friend Lucille Evans. I had gotten to know Pete after writing an article about him for “Webb Weekly” back in June of 2014. I had maintained a fairly close contact
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
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
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.

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. Senior Judge Dudley Anderson admitted this openly at a ribbon cutting ceremony held at the Lycoming County Court House on Monday, June 17th. He noted that
Appearances by Pittsburgh Pirate President Frank Coonelly and former Chicago Cubs pitcher Steve Trout, highlighted the 73rd Little League World Series Luncheon Held in the dining hall of the Little League Baseball International Complex in South Williamsport.

A capsule wardrobe is when you pare down your closet to 20-30 some-odd pieces and commit to wearing just those items over the course of a season. The purpose is to simplify your outfit choices for a three-month period and help you avoid decision fatigue in trying to figure out what to wear every day.
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
On behalf of Bishop Bambara, and all of us gathered here this morning, I wish to express to Fr John’s family our prayers, friendship and condolences. We also thank Fr.

Thank you to everyone that has reached out to share a special story about Father John Manno. It’s amazing how many lives he affected and touched in a most positive way. There is no doubt in my mind he will continue to do the Lord’s work through all of us. A special thank you to
Even though we now have Andrea (pg. 24) providing amazing recipes for us, that doesn’t mean that I am going to leave you high and dry on the recipe front. We are coming into picnic season and that means finding something to take along for pot lucks! I found these two great recipes that sound
A two-year old boy wearing a big smile and an “I don’t care” expression was picked up on West Fourth Street late yesterday afternoon by a “Gazette and Bulletin” reporter.

Similar to the importance of the pitcher/catcher battery for the success of a baseball team, the relationship developed by a football quarterback and his center is paramount to the positive accomplishments of a football team. For former Warrior Run High School QB Charlie Fisher, currently, the wide receiver coach at Arizona State University, the bond
It is sometimes a tedious task to cover the Lycoming County Commissioner’s Meetings, but Thursday, June 13th was not one of those times. In fact, to be honest, I personally was never more proud of my county than I was through that meeting. It began with a presentation of Job Well Done pins awarded to
Father John Manno came to Annunciation Parish (as it was known then) right around the time I left home for college. So, I never had the same level of interactions with him that rest of my family experienced. I did enjoy his homilies when I came home for weekend visits, and I was impressed with
For even the most skilled climbers, scaling a mountain is a laborious task. The ascent is slow and calculated, one step at a time, not looking back at where you’ve been but giving full concentration to the summit that lay ahead. But even for a Mountaineer, that zenith is often allusive. The South Williamsport High

In last week’s article, we were catching bass, and this week, we are catching bears. I was on my way home from Muncy trying to come up with a topic for this week’s story when my daughter called and said she just saw a bear go up a tree near the Muncy Hospital. I had
Lydia Smith is an outstanding three-sport athlete at Williamsport Area High School, having earned ten varsity letters in swimming, soccer, cross country, and track and field.

Alright folks, buckle up. It’s that time of year again. So let’s just get this out here now. I am going to write about Pride Month. If you are somehow, some way, living in 2019 and still offended by that, please stop reading. If you insist on continuing to read and then insist on following
