  • A Last Salute To Lycoming County’s “Mr. Flag”: Tony DiSalvo0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Lycoming County lost a giant in the realm of patriotism and Boy Scouting in the death last week of Tony DiSalvo, who would have turned 90 in April, more importantly it lost a good man, period. Perhaps no one in this county has been more zealous and diligent in promoting patriotism and love for his

    Scott Lowery

    Mike Mussina, congratulations! Certainly over the course of the past two weeks, since the January 22 announcement of his selection into the Baseball Hall of Fame, accolades have been pouring his way from well-wishers all across the baseball landscape. The media, both national and local, have been providing the statistical accomplishments which somehow will be

    My youngest kids are high school seniors, which, by extension, means that my husband and I have been tasked with the thankless job of hauling them hither and yon over the past two years so that they might ultimately find a college campus that “speaks to them.” Needless to say, we’ve spent countless hours on

  • This Week’s LION: The Private Public Servant – Tom Marino0

    Larry Stout

    Tom Marino, U.S. Representative of the 12th Congressional District of Pennsylvania, officially resigned from Congress on January 23, 2019. His formal press release did not explain this action, although in a later statement he commented that he was taking a job in the public sector. Given the current political climate, I can say with full

  • Why a Bat?0

    Ken Hunter

    As many of my readers probably already know I am also a wildlife artist and illustrator. As a wildlife artist, I have painted and sketched quite a variety of critters like our commonly seen deer, turkeys, bears, and songbirds. My wildlife art has taken me to some interesting, maybe even strange places like black bear

    Tom Son of Ann and Sam

    Welcome to a new year — may it be the best one yet for you! If you made New Year’s resolutions may they succeed. During this time of resolutions and “makeovers” here are a few interesting, I hope, thoughts I would like to contribute. I remember making lists of resolutions when I was a child

    Larry Stout

    The year 2019 will be remembered in Lycoming County for decades for the ‘ballotopocalypse’ that will take place. For starters, there will be primary and general elections for positions such as the three Lycoming County commissioners, five county row offices, two court of common pleas judges, the mayor of Williamsport, and four Williamsport city council

  • 13th Hot Stove League Banquet Was Field of Dreams For Area Baseball Fans0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    It wasn’t heaven, and it wasn’t Iowa, it was just the Genetti Hotel, but it seemed like baseball heaven for area baseball fans when Williamsport Crosscutters’ 13th Annual Hot Stove League Banquet was held recently. On a cold, winter night there were visions of action on warm, summer baseball diamonds as an outstanding array of

    There are many joys when it comes to parenthood, and I consider myself very fortunate to have a beautiful son. Jensen recently turned ten, and I think of him as my best friend. He is at a great age, and I enjoy the experiences we share. Jensen makes me so proud every single day in

  • Deer and Trout on the Same Day?0

    Ken Hunter

    I recently came across an interesting story in an outdoor publication; a guy at hunting camp killed a deer in the morning and then when out and caught some trout later in the day. Certainly not an impossible task but it surely is a fairly rare occurrence. I suspect it’s rare because trout fishing is

    Around 1980, I was walking down Main St. in Watsontown, my hometown, headed to the store with my mom. It was a summer day, as I still remember it like it was yesterday. The events of this day would be stamped in my 9-year-old mind like the serial numbers on an engine block. As we

  • Interesting to Amazing Lights on the Truth!0

    Tom Son of Ann and Sam

    The farmhouse I grew up in was built in the 1880s and started out with two rooms. Through the years a kitchen was added and then later, an indoor bathroom and enclosed back porch for firewood and other storage. Originally, of course, it had no electricity. Under the leadership of President Roosevelt, the Rural Electrification

    This Year’s LION: The Wonder Wife – Debbie Stout1

    Larry Stout

    The Leaders in Our Neighborhood articles have not been as frequent in 2018 as in previous years, largely because of increased responsibilities in other areas (see “County Hall Corner”), but I felt a year-end feature was called for. And in keeping with the end of year mood, it seemed appropriate to announce my choice for

  • Paddlers May be Required to Register Their Craft0

    Ken Hunter

    The rest of the “Frozen Chosen” and I are actually considering hitting some hard water sometime next week so why am I writing about paddling watercraft around as we dip into the winter months? The reason is that there may be some changes coming in the near future regarding non-powered watercraft, and those changes will

  • County Hall Corner: A Good Looking Golf Course0

    Larry Stout

    Winston Churchill thought playing golf was dumb. He commented that it was a game designed to hit a very small ball into a very small hole with instruments ill-designed for the purpose. Many in Lycoming County would echo those sentiments. Why does the county need a municipal golf course anyway? Actually, Lycoming County is very

    Webb Weekly

    I was sorry to hear that Gerry Ayers passed away so soon after writing his last column. It reminds me of Charles Schultz and his last “Peanuts” column. Mr. Schultz, among other things, was a sports fan. He particularly liked ice-skating and hockey, starting, later in life, an over-75 hockey league! All the more a
