  • A Tribute to Lou Hunsinger Sr.0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    This story is both the hardest and easiest story that I have ever written. Last week, my father, Lou Hunsinger Sr., died after a long illness. Thankfully he did not suffer. It is difficult to adequately express what he meant to my family, me, and his community. My dad was an unabashed American patriot who

    It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! As I’m in agreement with Andy Williams and his Christmas carol classic. Therefore, I’ll hold off on talking about anything that is politics, pandemic, or Governor Wolf’s complete poppycock that’s playing out each and every day. Hopefully, I get a new Louisville Slugger pen for Christmas to

  • Remembering Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Brock0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Baseball recently suffered the loss of two of its brightest stars from the 1960s and 1970s, and another piece of childhood dropped away with the deaths of Tom Seaver and Lou Brock. Both Seaver and Brock visited the Little League World Series. Seaver in 1988 and Brock in 2006. It was during Brock’s appearance in

  • SuperStars: A Group Fitness Program For Those of Diverse Abilities and Special Needs0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    In his inaugural address, John F. Kennedy said, “God’s work must truly be our own.” One Montoursville woman and at least six volunteers that include her two daughters, take this directive seriously. Together for the past ten years, they have been bringing the concept of physical fitness, wellness, and increased self-esteem to individuals with diverse

  • Dad’s Day0

    Scott Lowery

    With no statistical facts to uphold my suspicions, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn the television ratings for ‘The Game Show Network’ have spiked dramatically during the past several months. With families sequestered in their homes and most competitive sports programming limited to reruns of games played years ago, those whimsical shows at

    Dave Bellomo

    I began my fitness and wellness career in 1993 to pay rent while I was going to school at Lock Haven University. My goal at the time was to pursue a career in academia as a professor of Exercise Physiology and personal training was simply a means to an end. At that time, it was

    Dave Bellomo

    Lanny Reed was an avid wrestler in high school, wrestling in the 112-pound weight class. It was no wonder that when he joined the Air Force in 1967, Reed began taking martial arts instruction to fill his spare time. While he was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base, in Anchorage, Alaska, Reed began taking judo

    So, on October 26th, I had the amazing chance to go ‘Over the Edge’ as part of a fundraiser benefit the YWCA, the YMCA and the Williamsport Educational Foundation. With 60 or so rappellers taking the ‘leap’, over $50,000 was raised! I had a terrifyingly fun time doing my rappel. You don’t really think about

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Rappelling 105 feet down the side of the William Hepburn High Rise at 400 Lycoming Street in Williamsport, does not sound like your average fundraiser, but that is exactly what the officials from three area non-profit organizations hope when the “Over the Edge” fundraiser is held this Saturday, October 26th as brave and generous individuals

    Dave Bellomo

    When I was a kid in the late 1970s and early 1980s I fondly remember watching pro-wrestling with my dad and older brother on Sunday nights. Being eight years old or so, I could never quite decide if it was real or not. My heroes were, of course, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka and Andre the Giant,

    If ever there was a Leader in Our Neighborhood (LION) it was Father John Manno, who passed away on May 30th at the age of 78. Tributes to the man poured in throughout the region because he touched many lives far beyond his own parish. Much has been written about this extraordinary individual, but I

    It was with the utmost sadness that I and the rest of the people of the Susquehanna Valley last week learned of the death of Father John Manno. Father John was one of the most beloved people in this area who earned that love and respect naturally. Perhaps no one in the faith community in
