  • County Hall Corner: Stepping in the Leadership0

    Larry Stout

    The Lycoming County Commissioners met on Tuesday, August 11th and announced they were not holding public meetings for the next two weeks to participate in County Commissioners of Pennsylvania training sessions. This particular meeting had a very long agenda of four pages, whereas a typical agenda would be about two pages. Much of the actions

  • County Hall Corner: Our World After COVID0

    Larry Stout

    In my lifetime, I have seen our country go through race riots, campus riots, assassinations, foreign wars, presidential impeachments, inflation, recession, epidemics, bank failures, stock market crashes, technology explosions, terrorist attacks, etc., etc., etc. And amazingly, after these crises came, they also went, and life went on. It is helpful to keep this in mind

  • This Week’s LION: Scammer Stoppers0

    Larry Stout

    Sheriff Mark Lusk announced at the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on Tuesday, August 4th, to bring attention to a recent rise in an ongoing racket that has plagued our area — phone scammers. These professional deceivers call individuals at home, at work, or on their personal cell phones, and introduce themselves, saying, “I am with

  • County Hall Corner: Simple Civility0

    Larry Stout

    After the past Lycoming County Commissioner Meetings in July, I was tempted to ask Jim Webb Jr. for hazardous duty pay. The temperature of the meeting room has certainly been steadily rising, and not just due to the weather. Since we now live in a time that forgets how to practice simple civility, I wish

  • CWD Areas Expand – More than 200 additional whitetails have tested positive in the past year0

    Press Release

    The battle to control chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Pennsylvania is expanding into new areas.  The Pennsylvania Game Commission maintains three Disease Management Areas across the state to control CWD. They are geographic regions featuring special rules for hunters and the general public meant to slow the disease’s spread while increasing chances of detecting it.

  • County Hall Corner: Staying Positive in a Negative World0

    Larry Stout

    There is an axiom in journalism that says, “if it bleeds, it leads.” I complained about this to one of my English professors in college, and he rebutted that covering a plane crash is news, one that lands safely is not. But given the amount of turmoil over the past four to five months, I

  • County Hall Corner: A Whale of a Problem0

    Larry Stout

    This year is the 50th anniversary of what stands out as one of the more bizarre events in American history. It is best described as the “Exploding Whale” story. In November of 1970, a 45-foot, eight-ton whale washed up on a beach off the coastal city of Florence, Oregon. For this community of 9,000 or

  • County Hall Corner: Ed Robbins – Juvenile Probation Champion0

    Larry Stout

    On July 10th, Lycoming County Government will be losing yet another one its exceptional department heads. The county commissioners should be commended for their ability to find excellent replacements for these departing chiefs, but they will need to find someone with really big shoes to fill those of retiring Juvenile Probation Department Director Ed Robbins.

  • County Hall Corner: 50 Shades of Green0

    Larry Stout

    The euphoria of finally transitioning to the “Green” phase of the social/economic restrictions mandated by Governor Tom Wolf has been somewhat tempered by the reality that “Green” does not exactly mean “Go.” At the Monday, June 8th county press conference, government officials and community leaders strained to put the best light on the continual constraints

  • County Hall Corner: Standing Tall in the Midst of Turmoil0

    Larry Stout

    I am an unashamed enthusiast for promoting Lycoming County and this general area. I have lived in large cities and enjoy the opportunities and activities they offer, but for overall quality of life — I would not trade this place for anywhere. This same attitude is shared by the Lycoming County Commissioners as well as

    Jensen and I are always looking for an outdoor adventure. This past weekend we headed north for something new and exciting. It was a gorgeous morning outside of Bodines, PA. My 11-year-old agreed to unplug his FORTNITE for a small fee. We met up with a few friends along Slack’s Run Road. Mike and Gavin

  • County Hall Corner: The Incredible Karl Demi1

    Larry Stout

    The County Commissioners Meeting on Tuesday, May 26th, was what could be described as a typical exceptional meeting. Typical in that there were the usual rudimentary action items along with a few events that are the type that finds their way into the local news media outlets. There was one item that was not rudimentary

  • County Hall Corner: Life and Livelihood in the Balance1

    Larry Stout

    Imagine a scenario where there is a fire down the street where you live, and you were told you had to abandon your home as a preventive measure. And after some time passes, and the fire appears to be under control, you ask when you can return to your home, and you are told that

  • This Week’s LION: Appreciating the Under-Appreciated0

    Larry Stout

    No one knows what we are going to call the Post-Pandemic Period, but the one thing we can predict is that it is going to be different than what we experienced just a few short months ago. We will be more cautious and careful in areas we took for granted before, but I believe we

  • County Hall Corner: Mellow Yellow0

    Larry Stout

    Governor Wolf uses a traffic light metaphor to distinguish the phases of the state quarantine. Since mid-March, Lycoming County has been in a “Red” condition, which certainly translates into “Stop.” We have been mandated to stop almost every aspect of normal life, from education, entertainment, commerce, community life, etc. I think if the governor could

    Yes, We Still Will Have an Election Coming The worst part of the The Great 2020 COVID-19 Shutdown is that we are living through a historic moment in real time. Decades from now, history books (or tablets, or whatever) will note how it slowly built through a concern to a genuine emergency to the point

  • County Hall Corner: A Census That Makes Sense0

    Larry Stout

    The Lycoming County Commissioners took a week off from their regular meetings, but have been in continual contact with key county leaders as well as state and federal officials. I personally realized how dedicated our county employees are during this crisis when I received an answer to an email from the commissioner’s administrative manager, Eileen
