  • Cheers to Glenn0

    Jamie Spencer

    Penn State is still looking. The Nittany Lions decided to fire longtime coach James Franklin back in October. The fans and alumni were furious. It was a bold move. And unfortunately, AD Pat Kraft has not found a replacement. Many of the candidates have used this opportunity to land extensions at their existing schools. The

  • A Ringing Remembrance of Dave’s Christmas Spirit0

    Jim Webb

    It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go across the West Branch Valley. This Christmas carol seems perfect as we head into December. The song has been recorded by many artists over the years with different musical styles. I’m still old school and like Bing Crosby’s version the best. The song

    Steph Noviello

    At this point, y’all know the story. Yes, I am behind. But look at it this way — it’s only the first week of December, and I’ve got plenty of time. Am I going to use that time wisely and efficiently? Probably not. But that’s fine. This is fine. Everything is fine. I don’t know

  • Going-Out Tops0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Hard to categorize and elusive in nature, the “going out” top can range from a sparkly camisole to a festive knit. It can be a blouse, a T-shirt with a twist, a tank top, or even a turtleneck. With the holiday season upon us, you’ll want to be ready with a few going-out tops for

  • Seldom Seen0

    Ken Hunter

    I’m sure most hunters would agree that when it comes to deer hunting, the most exciting thing to see would be a giant trophy buck standing broadside forty yards away, and that’s especially exciting if that view is through your rifle scope. Well, as we all know, that scenario doesn’t always happen; however, I have

  • It’s a Wonderful Film: Commending Capra’s Christmas Classic0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    There are many ways to gauge a film’s legacy: critical tributes, best-of lists, online ratings — not to mention Oscars and a host of other honors. As a lifelong reader, I like to ask how many books have been written about (or inspired by) the movie. Until this year, I thought the record-holder was Psycho

    Blair Steward

    Sometimes, the most unexpected beauty emerges from the routine. Who would have thought that a simple government meeting about job vacancies could reveal such profound insights into grace, cooperation, and the art of working together? It’s in these everyday moments that we find the most inspiring lessons about humanity. The November 20th Lycoming County Commissioners

    With the college and professional football seasons building to a championship crescendo and Christmas just around the corner, baseball has entered its ‘hot stove season.’ While the sport has taken a back seat for many, November was a busy time for Penn College baseball coach Chris Howard, who was inducted into the West Branch Valley

    Webb Weekly

    The holidays are often described as “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many people, they can also be the most stressful.

  • Remembering Some Wartime Thanksgivings of the Past0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, we live in a time of comparative peace right now, but it wasn’t always that way. It might be interesting to look back at some wartime Christmases of the past. At Thanksgiving 1917, thousands of troops were already pouring across the Atlantic Ocean to fight the “dreaded Hun” in

  • Pennsylvania, One of the Best Bear States0

    Ken Hunter

    Pennsylvania’s statewide archery bear season ran from October 18-25, and the muzzleloader season statewide was from October 23-25. Of course, the regular statewide firearms season opened this past Saturday, the 22nd, and ends on the 25th.

    Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re getting ready to spend some quality time with close friends and loved ones.

  • Brothers Hill and John0

    Jamie Spencer

    Two teams met up in Muncie, Ind. It was only an exhibition. Ball State hosted Mansfield University. The game didn’t count. It was more of a glorified scrimmage. Several D1 teams do this in the preseason. This contest featured two local standouts. Brothers Hill. David and Davion. David is a junior guard for the Mounties.

  • Happy Thanksgiving0

    Scott Lowery

    Although I do not recall when I first heard the rationale, but it has stuck in my head each year when Thanksgiving rolls around. It references Thanksgiving being the best holiday of the year because ‘you don’t have to buy gifts, just eat and sit around and watch football all day.’ While that was never

  • How to Wear Western Boots0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    With the current rise in popularity of cowboy boots, the question has arisen: how do you wear a western-style boot without going full cowgirl? Or at least that’s the question that comes to my mind. Full disclosure, I’m a city slicker, so there’s not really an authentic reason for me to wear cowboy boots. And

    I’m becoming a whole new person in my golden years. Truly. I used to be that person — the one who huffed, sighed dramatically, and rolled their eyes so hard they practically did a full rotation whenever someone put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. And honestly? I’m sorry for being that Grinchy. I retired that

  • County Hall Corner: Easy Does It0

    Blair Steward

    The desperation of community programs across Lycoming County tells a story that goes far beyond budget spreadsheets and political maneuvering. They represent our neighbors sleeping in cars, families choosing between rent and groceries, and children wondering where their next meal will come from. Hidden homelessness defines our crisis. Unlike major cities where tent encampments make

    Growing up — and even now — you always hear people say, “There’s nothing to do here. I wish we had a [insert whatever chain restaurant or business is trendy at the moment].” And I’ll be honest: there were times I felt that way too. But the older I get, the more I realize just
