  • County Hall Corner: Year End Awards0

    Larry Stout

    This is my First Annual County Hall Corner Award presentation. In 2018, 52 articles covered many areas of county government, and as I reviewed them, I came up with four categories of awards. First is the MOST FUN AWARD for the article that was the most personally enjoyable for me to research and write. There

  • From ‘the Cheap Seats’0

    Scott Lowery

    It was as if time had suddenly stopped as the high-arching three-point shot launched by a Northeast Bradford player almost seemed destined to hit the heating vents suspended high above the Montgomery Community & Athletic Center gym. When gravity intervened the seemingly desperate shot found nothing but white nylon cord tying the Panthers game against

  • Commission Updates0

    Ken Hunter

    In last week’s column, I mentioned the news that the Fish and Boat Commission will receive $250,000 from the state to relocate and build another launch site somewhere nearby. The commission will match the state’s funding with another $250,000. Don’t plan to launch your boat at the new ramp for at least a couple of

  • No More Politics0

    Jamie Spencer

    I had every intention of writing a great piece, but then I ran into a few distractions. I did the best I could to find something fast, but nothing came to mind. Politics man. I am extremely thankful that the midterm elections are over. And perhaps life will even get back to normal. I have

  • A Proud Past, A Rock Solid Present, A Promising Future0

    Jim Webb

    Midterm Madness is finally upon us. I will be glad when the dust clears, and I don’t have to watch any political commercials. Across our great Nation, there has probably never been a more important midterm report card provided by “We the People.” There’s also probably never been more at stake. To me, it’s a

  • Retain Strong Mayor for City Of Williamsport By Mary B. Wolf Former Williamsport Mayor0

    Mary Wolf

    As an instructor of political science at Lycoming College for 15 years (teaching state and local government, bureaucracy and public administration along with other related American government courses), and as an 8 year member of Williamsport City Council and four years as Mayor of Williamsport, I am qualified to express my opinion on the benefit

  • Preparing for the Polls: Part 7 – A Positive Negative0

    Larry Stout

    An old sales trick is to offer something and something vs. something and nothing. For example, an effective salesman does not ask if you want to make an appointment with him or her, rather they ask, “Would morning be better for you, or would you prefer afternoon?” That appears to be the choice that Williamsport

    There’s going to come a time, and it should be fun, that our pets will be able to communicate to us with more than a mere bark or meow. Some type of app, linked to their brain, plugged into our laptop or cell phone will expose their thoughts, channel and funnel them, then translate them

  • October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Breast Cancer is one of the biggest and perhaps scariest health threats that women face (though some men sometimes suffer it). October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the observation of it helps to shine a light on this serious health problem. Information and understanding of breast cancer is one of the most important goals

    Last week, we introduced a new series of articles related to the various offices that will be on the ballot in the upcoming November election. This week we want to focus on the very important battle for Pennsylvania’s governor. The Democratic candidate will be the incumbent, Tom Wolf, and the Republican challenger is former State

    Antioch Baptist Church Annual Block Party Slated For Wednesday August 80

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Antioch Baptist Church’s motto is: “A church in the heart of the community with the community at heart.” It is with this motto in mind that for the past 25 years the church has hosted an annual block party on its grounds at 514 High Street. They will be holding this always widely anticipated event

  • Jiving with Jones0

    Scott Lowery

    One of the great joys of journalistic endeavors is the access to talk sports with athletes and professionals well-versed in their field with whom you otherwise wouldn’t have that same opportunity. One of those occasions is the annual visit Penn State football play-by-play announcer, Steve Jones, makes to Williamsport to address the local Penn State

  • 38 Years as MVP0

    Scott Lowery

    Sports fans are fiercely loyal and prejudice towards the teams of their liking. Only one team can be crowned the champion of their particular sport. Only one player in a league is selected as the MVP. Only very few players earn recognition as All-Stars during a given year. But the realities of these scenarios don’t

  • County Hall Corner: Goodbye to a Wonderful Warden0

    Larry Stout

    Retirement is often a bittersweet event. In one sense, it is joyous for an individual who has labored for decades in worthwhile service to an organization to be rewarded, but it is also sad for the colleagues to know that this individual will no longer be around. That emotion was in full swing at the

  • Winter Olympics: Lycoming County Style0

    Gerry Ayers

    Some of you may be glued to the tube watching the 2018 Winter Olympics being held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, but I feel they have nothing on us — including the scenery. Spare the airfare and parka. Better yet, from what I’ve seen, most residents here are participants, not observers in our own winter fest.

    This Week’s LION: Ann Kaufman0

    Larry Stout

    One of the great mysteries in leadership theory is that no one has come up with a way to predict leadership. Everyone can recognize a leader after they have achieved something worthwhile, but who has the crystal ball to pick that person while they are still a nobody? Maybe someone should interview Congressman Tom Marino

    The last Saturday of 2017 arrived with temperatures in the single digits and an overnight covering of snow on the ground. Rather than sleeping in on a cold winter’s day, a few hundred area scholastic coaches dutifully fishtailed their vehicles up the unplowed hill to Williamsport Area High School for a day of PIAA mandated

    Jim Webb

    The number one question being asked — How do you think President Trump is doing? I’ve been avoiding this issue and Washington politics in general lately. Many of you have brought to my attention his dismal approval ratings. I must agree. Whatever poll I looked at, his number was the lowest of the last 12

    So much has been talked about and made up about what is going to occur as President Donald Trump begins his ‘Contract with the American Voter.’ If you remember, Mr. Trump was in Gettysburg this past October when he released a plan for his first 100 days in office. It was his action plan for

    So much to talk about from Washington and the presidential election to Williamsport and DA Eric Linhardt. I promise not to need the services of any ‘fact checkers’ like Ms. Hillary and ‘The Don’ did during their debate. The most important shade of autumn made an early appearance across the West Branch Valley. Even before

    A great title for our Presidential candidates and their campaigns, I’m so glad the primary season is coming to an end. However, it’s more about the second part of my story.

    Jim Webb

    A couple weeks ago in my “Not My Father’s Republican Party” (March 9th) article, I praised Congressman Tom Marino’s efforts and fighting for the American people. I rehashed how he stood up to Nancy Pelosi and the liberal demagoguery while other Republicans bury their heads in the sand. I put into ink how he would
