    Jim Webb

    Hello, West Branch Valley; I’m in agreement with the meteorological community; spring begins on March 1st. And that is worth celebrating with the winter we’ve had. I wish it were possible to have all the cheerleaders across our area doing the old-school “let’s get fired up” cheer for you as you begin reading my words.

  • Mercy?0

    Scott Lowery

    Among the proverbs often kicked around is one traced back to Thomas Fuller in 1732 pertaining to the arrival of March weather.

  • County Hall Corner: All the News that Gets Forgotten0

    Larry Stout

    For over a century, the New York Times has used the slogan, “All the news that’s fit to print.” This catchphrase was created by the owner, Adolph S.

  • 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

  • County Hall Corner: Fired Up!0

    Larry Stout

    As much as our modern society has precautions and systems to prevent fires, they still happen, even in the wealthiest of areas. This is evidenced by the massive wildfires in California, specifically in the Los Angeles area, where over 180,000 people (the population of Lycoming, Clinton, Sullivan, and Union counties combined!) had been evacuated from

    I’ve been jokingly advocating for human hibernation during the month of January for several years now, and the weather the past few weeks proves my point.
