  • No Heavy Hammer Here0

    Larry Stout

    One of the urban legends of government spending is the $600 hammer. Immortalized by everyone from late-night comedians to political leaders, the infamous military hammer was simply a bundled purchase with many different spare parts, some very expensive.

  • Mercy!0

    Scott Lowery

    For some strange reason that one word of emphasis crooned in singer Roy Orbison’s 1964 hit song “Pretty Woman” has stayed with me over the years. If you’ve never heard the song, give it a visit on the Internet. It is only one word but it surely emphasizes the message of his song. Mercy may

  • This Week’s LION – Smokey Bear0

    Larry Stout

    It is something of an irony that the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in California’s history occurred during National Fire Prevention Week, October 8-14. It is also ironic that it was 70 years ago, August 1947, that one of the most well known slogans in American history, “Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires,” was

  • The Public and the Government0

    Larry Stout

    An interesting exercise in government transparency is coming up soon.

  • FALL CAR CARE – Four Tire Safety Tips for Winter0

    Family Features

    The same temperature you can begin to see your breath – 45 F – is also when the all-season tires on your car can start to lose traction and grip.

  • Doing Away With Distracted Driving0

    Press Release

    The evidence is clear: Distracted driving can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Distraction.gov, the United States government’s official website for Distracted Driving, states that, in 2014, 3,179

  • Williamsport Continued to Impress On the Pitch0

    Brett Crossley

    Rain was falling down in sheets, the pitch was hard to make out, and each and every player was soaked to the bone before the match even started. As Williamsport put its 11-3 record on the line against Selinsgrove, which also entered at 11-3, it was anything but soccer weather. Sometimes though, it makes for

    Helplessness. An inability to defend yourself or act effectively. The moment in a person’s life when they are watching their world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly. The feeling when you truly want to help, but there is nothing that you can do. In Las Vegas, on October 1, 2017, at

  • Local Vietnam Vets Weigh In On Ken Burns’ Vietnam Documentary0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    When Ken Burns’ latest documentary effort, dealing with the Vietnam War was shown recently on PBS, there was probably no audience with a greater interest in this documentary and how it presented the Vietnam experience than Vietnam veterans.

  • The Jaded Eye… Catching Up With “The Catcher in the Rye”0

    Gerry Ayers

    Is there relevance in a book written 66 years ago in today’s society that is so wrapped up in itself? That’s the question I asked myself when re-reading and digesting The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger. The book’s main character, 16-year-old Holden Caulfield, lets it be known he is undergoing treatment in a

  • Reflections From A Pool Of Memories – Catching Birds And Bass- Part II0

    Mike O'Brien

    Fish long enough and you’ll experience nature in a variety of ways — unfamiliar, unexpected, and unbelievable. The osprey we found in the Chesapeake Bay couldn’t get out of the water; its sodden feathers restricted flight. It was desperate. I’m not sure to what extent an osprey’s brain functions, but that bird had to be

    Wow! What a week that was.
