  • Do Something0

    Scott Lowery

    The ominous sky opened up just moments before the Lycoming County Veterans Council was set to begin its annual Memorial Day Service at Williamsport’s West Fourth Street Veterans Memorial Park. Undaunted, the large crowd that had gathered remained in place with umbrellas and rain gear at the ready. They were there to honor and pay

  • Sorrow, Grace and the Future0

    Jim Webb

    I’m sure many of you have experienced the same emotions I have since first learning about the shooting at Robb Elementary school in Texas. As I am writing this, I am in just flat-out angry mode. These are our children; we are the United States of America, and we must find a way to protect

  • ENOUGH0

    Jamie Spencer

    Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made an impassioned plea to take stronger action this week. He had very little to say about basketball in a press conference a few hours after the incident. Nineteen innocent children and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. Kerr refused to entertain any questions

  • The Zealot Gene: Jethro Tull Still Rocks0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    This is the first time I ever ran through a rock album with the lyric sheet in one hand and a Bible in the other. On “The Zealot Gene,” brand-new record from British prog-rockers Jethro Tull, front-man Ian Anderson continues his career-long examination of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Fortunately, this legendary band also continues the unique

  • Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month0

    Steph Noviello

    It’s never a fun subject to discuss, but that may make it even more important to discuss. One in three high school students will experience some form of dating violence in their relationships.

    “Be kind to people and don’t judge, for you do not know what demons they carry and what battles they are fighting.” ~ Vashti Quiroz-Vega Typically, this time of year, I try to avoid ‘heavy’ subjects.

  • Never Forget0

    Steph Noviello

    It is difficult to believe that 20 years have passed since September 11th. Some years it feels like yesterday, and some it feels like several lifetimes ago. Although recent events bring it back close to home. A total of 2,996 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks, including the 19 terrorist hijackers aboard the four

  • This Week’s LION: Ron James and Children/Youth Services1

    Larry Stout

    One of the strengths of Lycoming County government agencies is that they take the time to recognize those who excel in their work.

They gathered the supervisors and caseworkers

    A Sandwich, Soda, and Sit Down With the Mayor of Billtown0

    Jim Webb

    I have been meaning to catch up with Williamsport’s Mayor Derek Slaughter for a while now. I have known him a long time, and of course, I wanted to talk about the City of Williamsport, but even more important was just to catch up with a friend, break a little bread and see how he’s

    Before I start, let’s alllll get one thing straight (no pun intended). If you intend to read this article and then proceed to call or email me with hate or vitriol; if you intend to call me names, tell me I need to find God (my relationship with God is just fine, thanks) or any

  • DA’s Office Shows Appreciation for Local Law Enforcement0

    Steph Noviello

    Being a member of law enforcement isn’t easy. Especially today. And while some of the disdain for law enforcement is warranted, that can leave good officers feeling wholly unappreciated. Locally, District Attorney Ryan Gardner is working to ensure that members of law enforcement in Lycoming County know that their hard work is noticed and appreciated.

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The plight of the homeless in Lycoming County was brought into a stark and tragic spotlight two weeks ago when the body of a homeless man was found along the River Walk.

  • Setting the Record Straight1

    I have always made myself available to everyone with my contact information available on page 4. I encourage people to call or text me. Many email.

    It is an obvious point. But one that needs to be repeated. Rioting is wrong. Period. I am no expert. Nor do I have any answers. But what went down last week is extremely frustrating. I won’t elaborate on the embarrassment. I can only condemn it. I will not point any fingers. Just don’t do

    Jon Pries

    Today’s gun owners vary widely in their interests in firearms.

  • Double Fund the Police, Double Down on Education0

    Jim Webb

    If we really want to improve inner-city life for all that live there, two basic things must happen. It is only common sense when you think it through. What is going on nationally in our largest cities proves this. We cannot cater and kneel to criminals and lawlessness at the expense of the law-abiding. I

    Absolutely no man deserves to die like George Floyd did. An absolute despicable act perpetrated by a completely evil individual. The complete disregard for humanity, callousness, and arrogance as Officer Derek Chauvin executed this poor man as he knew the world around him was watching. A truly demonic act. This made more unthinkable by the

    The Inquisition of President Trump is absolutely pathetic. I have never seen a less Democratic procedure take place in our Nation’s Capital. Democracy and the current Democratic Party couldn’t be any greater of a contradiction. The current House Judiciary hearing has absolutely nothing to do with what they claim are two impeachable offenses, and everything
