  • County Hall Corner: Why the Press is Depressed0

    Larry Stout

    I generally attend the weekly Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting and sit in the back with my other local press colleagues. I truly appreciate how objectively honest these journalists are. Their columns are straight up and accurate. It seems like a lifetime ago when newspapers simply told what happened, and the editorial page would be the

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The recent news of the death of former President Jimmy Carter at the ripe old age of 100 recalls memories of his April 24, 1976, campaign visit to Williamsport, specifically, Brandon Park.

  • Christmastime 60 Years Ago0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The year was 1964. It was a momentous and interesting year in almost every field of endeavor, from popular culture to politics and many things in between.

    Jon Pries

    Pennsylvania’s fall turkey season is over, the bear season has ended, and the regular firearm season for deer ended on December 14.
