  • County Hall Corner: A Wolf in Wolf’s Language2

    Dave Bellomo

    Pretty much everyone in North Central Pennsylvania has learned by now that the Loyalsock Lancers beat Brookville to win the PIAA Class AAA state title at Hershey’s Giant Center with a score of 75 to 53. What many people may not know, however, is that three of the players are related. Idris and Saraj Ali

    Jim Webb

    Before I get to the accomplishments through perseverance by some of our area athletes, I think it’s most important to give a tip of my Webb Weekly hat with the American Flag on the side to Dr. Robert Lombardi, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.

    Scott Lowery

    Have you ever been part of one of those word association games where a particular word is given, and the responder is asked to give the first word that comes into their mind? If you have, you know how the game is played. My guess is if any sports fan were given the word Indiana,

  • Understanding and Pursuing the Obvious Term Limits: 1010

    Jim Webb

    What an absolutely amazing time of year it is as God’s green Earth comes back to life. A couple of weeks ago, I saw my first robins of the year, a whole flock right in the front yard. It just didn’t seem right; however, they were singing their sweet spring song right in the middle

    Larry Stout

    This year is the 75th anniversary of one of the most amazing organizations in our area. The United Churches of Lycoming County grew out of twenty-four churches and two organizations that met in November 1945 to discuss how they could cooperate together. From that group, the United Churches of Lycoming County was officially formed on

    Scott Lowery

    The Super Bowl is history; COVID has yet to be conquered. Mother Nature greeted us with an early February snowstorm. The furry Punxsutawney varmint has blessed us all with six more weeks of winter weather, and uncertainty reigns regarding baseball’s spring training and the start of the 2021 season. There couldn’t be a better time

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Two weeks ago, the basketball community mourned the loss of legendary former basketball coach John Chaney, at the age of 89. In 2001 he was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame. But did you know that Chaney had a Williamsport connection? During their last two seasons of existence, that connection was his play for

  • Mr. Roberts0

    Scott Lowery

    Some of you may be aware of the 1955 movie “Mr. Roberts” featuring leading actors Henry Fonda, James Cagney, William Powell, and Jack Lemon. The movie’s WWII plot centered around Mr. Roberts’s (Henry Fonda) desire to leave the cargo ship he was serving on to join the “action” going on elsewhere. The ship’s captain (James

  • County Hall Corner: The Dream Speech Almost Didn’t Happen0

    Larry Stout

    Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech on August 28, 1963 before some 250,000 people on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. has become one of the most famous speeches in American history. It is known as “I Have a Dream” Speech, but there is tremendous irony here, as the whole section concerning the

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – Once Spoke at Lycoming College0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Five years before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his immortal “I Have A Dream” speech, he spoke here in Williamsport to students at a chapel service at Clarke Chapel at Lycoming College on April 23, 1958. He was not yet the world-renowned iconic figure that he would later become. He was then head of

  • County Hall Corner: The Larry Awards for 20200

    Larry Stout

    The motion picture industry has its Oscar Awards, the theater industry has its Tony Awards, so it is time that County Hall Corner should have its Larry Awards.

  • Gazette and Bulletin: December 24, 1941 – Christmas 1941 — No Blackout in Bethlehem’s Star0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Christmas 1941 comes to a world where there is scant peace, where men search the skies for portents not of joy but of death, and where men of goodwill are, as were the simple Judean shepherds long ago, “sore afraid.” Happily, there is no blackout of the Christmas star here—no shrieking sirens to interrupt joyful

  • County Hall Corner: Something Good about 20200

    Larry Stout

    In January of this year, my hopes for Lycoming County in 2020 was that it could be the Year of the Volunteer. I wanted to highlight volunteer fire companies and non-profit organizations’ efforts and how they needed new blood to stay alive. I hoped that with the experience of County Commissioners Tony Mussare and Rick

  • A Season Saved, An Autumn to Remember0

    Jim Webb

    We have so very much to be thankful for here in the West Branch Valley. We must not allow politics, differing views, and opinions to divide us. This goes double for any virus. I don’t understand today’s social media world when people who have a difference of opinion allow it to create the rage and

    Jim Webb

    No matter who wins the election, I can’t wait for all this nonsense to be over. I am beyond tired of President Trump and Mr. Biden being in my mailbox, on the electronic device of my choice, feeling obligated to watch their debates, and flipping through channels to see what all the mainstream media geniuses

  • County Hall Corner: Surprise!0

    Larry Stout

    Surprise! That word could either express intense happiness or insufferable disappointment. It is a universal emotion, as virtually everyone is happy with a good surprise and unhappy with a bad one. Reflecting on 2020 and especially in response to the COVID virus, I have had three big surprises, two quite unhappy and one rather happy.

    Every sport has been impacted. But the onset of COVID-19 has absolutely crushed college basketball. It all started with the cancelation of MARCH MADNESS. All of my brackets busted. Unthinkable. There was talk about playing the games later. Unfortunately, that never happened. As we approach the 2020-21 hoops season, there is still a major concern.

    Are these historic times? It is amazing how much our society has changed through 2020. Of course, much of this comes from the continual uncertainty of the COVID virus.

  • Aggregate of Marginal Change for Fitness0

    Dave Bellomo

    When I am working with clients, I often say that small, permanent changes employed over a long period of time add up to big results. Temporary changes, no matter how large, such as crash diets, will only produce temporary results. Therefore, it behooves us to view health and wellness as a marathon, not a sprint.

    With the political climate heating up, coupled with the stress of being in the eighth or ninth month of a global pandemic, I thought I would break things up by circling back to the topic of leadership.

    For the past couple of years, I have written that everyday hard-working Democrats need to take their party back. It is no longer the party of past presidents like Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, or even President William Jefferson Clinton. What began during the Obama administration has carried on under the current leadership of

    ? As this year of sports-uncertainty continues, local high school football teams have begun preparations for what they hope will be a season by taking part in what the PIAA describes as “heat acclimatization week.” In its most simplistic terms, the program is designed to give players an opportunity to adjust to the summer heat

    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.
