    Three hundred enthusiastic volunteer workers joined last night in launching the Lycoming County campaign for $10,000 for the religious, recreational, and social welfare of American youth now training in U.S. Army camps or concentrated in defense industrial centers.

    They hadn’t been in town long and had very limited practice time before their opening game at State College on May 24, but as the players assigned to the Williamsport Crosscutters opening day roster emerged from the clubhouse on Media Day, the uniforms were crisp, smiles crossed their faces, and it looked every bit the

    Memorial Day is meant to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    As many of us pay our respects this Memorial Day weekend, it is interesting to note one burial plot in particular, which honors some of our war dead.

    Memorial Day weekend is one of my favorite long weekends. Honestly, it’s my favorite spring/summer holiday! It’s the kick-off to summer! (NOT that I love the stupid hot weather in the slightest.) I just look forward to this long weekend and all the fun the warmer weather brings. I love the “Rock-N-Roll 500” on WZXR

  • Memorial Day Unmasked0

    Scott Lowery

    What a difference a year makes! “Wait till next year,” is the often-repeated sentiment of sports fans whose teams didn’t perform up to expectations. Next year always does seem to roll around, but in an appreciative retrospect, ‘this year’ has it all over last year when it comes to the sports we all enjoy, and

  • County Hall Corner: Sheriff Lusk and His Super Supporters0

    Larry Stout

    There is a saying — some people make things happen, some watch what happens, and the rest wonder what happened. Sheriff Mark Lusk makes things happen, but he does not do so alone. At the April 20th Lycoming County Commissioners’ Meeting, there was a glowing example of Sheriff Lusk’s initiative and active community support. For

  • This Week’s LION: Vets Helping Vets0

    Larry Stout

    No one knows exactly who the first military person to say, “no man left behind,” but it captures the commitment between those serving in uniform. And it does not leave after the uniform is off because there is a bond among vets that is impossible to describe but also impossible to miss. Unfortunately, for many

  • Absolute Presidential Absurdity2

    Jim Webb

    As I had written when Joe Biden was elected President, I would give him the opportunity to get to work for the American people before I passed any judgment on his job performance. President Biden now has the first quarter of 2021 under his belt, and my pen has been burning up to let you

  • County Hall Corner: Very Needed Veterans Court0

    Larry Stout

    Being a veteran, especially one who has served in a combat area, casts a shadow on the psyche that never truly goes away. Audie Murphy is a classic example. A poor farm boy from Texas, he joined the army after Pearl Harbor at age 17 and saw combat in Sicily and southern Italy. Amazingly, by

    Jim Webb

    Before I get started on a simple way to clip the wings of the self-serving inept feeding at the trough of the American taxpayer. I want to begin with a point made by a long-time Webb Weekly reader. He asked me to research and share what a United States senator/representative receives for an operating budget.
