    This Week’s LION: Mike McMunn and Vietnam Vets0

    Larry Stout

    When George Heiges stepped down from Director of the Office of Veteran Affairs for Lycoming County in June of 2019, I felt the position would be impossible to fill. In Director Heiges’ eight-year term, he had established Lycoming County as not only having one of the best Veterans Affairs Office in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

  • March 29 is Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The men and women who fought and died in the Vietnam War are probably the most underappreciated and underrecognized of American veterans. Largely because they were involved in the most controversial war in American history. In a bid to reverse the injustice done to these veterans, a Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day was established. Vietnam Veteran

  • What the Ladies are Thinking0

    Jim Webb

    A few weeks back I mentioned my intention to interview and feature the thoughts from women across the West Branch Valley.

  • The 2023 Fishing Season Underway0

    Ken Hunter

    I know most of the fishing crowd doesn’t think of a new fishing season being underway until trout season rolls around in April, but I’ve always considered the new season underway when I hit the ice for the first time. In recent years that first trip rarely took place before the start of the new

  • County Hall Corner: Don’t Wait to Dial 9880

    Larry Stout

    Even children know to dial 911 in an emergency. But not every crisis is a 911 emergency — some require a helper rather than a healer. This is when it is best to dial 988. In July 2020, the FCC adopted rules to establish 988 as the nationwide, easy-to-remember 3-digit dialing code for people in

    LION (Leaders in Our Neighborhood): Wreaths Across America0

    Larry Stout

    Those under 40 years of age probably have no memory of a time in the United States when veterans were largely ignored. The Vietnam War of the 1960s and early 1970s was terribly polarizing, and those who were veterans of that conflict found it best to avoid highlighting their involvement. This anti-military attitude in American

    A Date of Infamy, Honor, and Remembrance0

    Jim Webb

    With our cover date reading December 7th, I would be remiss as an American if I didn’t begin my column with what occurred 81 years ago. Over the past several years, it has become most evident that our Nation must not only remember our history but learn from it. As I watch the reports regarding

  • Book Penned by Former Montoursville Man Now a Major Motion Picture0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    When Adam Makos, formerly of Montoursville, wrote a book about two heroic naval aviators during the Korean War, he could scarcely have imagined that the book would become a major motion picture seven years after the book was written. The film, “Devotion,” based on Makos’ book of the same title, was released in theaters nationwide
