Thank you to everyone who took the time to talk with me about last week’s column, “Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid.” Long story short, it ended with, we don’t have to agree, but we need to be civil and work together to make a better future for our children and grandchildren. This rang true with almost
Like most of us, I grew up going to Knoebels. You can still find me and my family there a couple of times a year, every year now. So, when I saw they would be celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, I knew we needed to feature it. Knoebels feels like one of those “If
The Lycoming County Commissioners spent their April 9 meeting clearing the air on several contentious issues that have been rippling through the community.

What should I fish for today? As we move into those warmer days of spring, wondering what to fish for on any given day is no doubt a question that plagues many of us. All right; it may not plague many of us, but for those who have the fishing bug, it’s something we give
As Mother Nature finally gives way to warmer weather, many of us look forward to fresh air, blooming trees, and more time outdoors. However, for thousands of people in our region, spring also marks the start of seasonal allergies, bringing on sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue. Understanding what triggers these symptoms and how to
So, you’re getting married, or about to get engaged, and lots of loved ones will have lots of opinions on your nuptials. Even if you are going for a traditional ceremony and reception, modern wedding etiquette rules have evolved over the years. With the rise of sharing via social media, the accessibility, or lack thereof,
When you spend as much time on the water as I do, you always catch a few. And while some days are certainly better than others, you occasionally have those fantastic experiences. These episodes are extremely rare. I can count them on my fingers. Last night wasn’t one of them. No worries, sports fans. Jensen
While July 4 will celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary, this year’s April 22 Webb Weekly publication date marks an historic marker of its own for local baseball fans; on that April 22, 1926, date, Bowman Field opened the gates to its first baseball game. Now, 100 years later, the venue known as Journey Bank Ballpark

I’ll begin this week with Editor Steph’s column from last week. She did mention to me what she would like to write, but I had no idea what she was going to write. I was just glad to take a breath, turn off my phone, and focus on Good Friday and Easter. I’m appreciative of
Since we were so serious last week, let’s lighten things up a bit this week, shall we? The world is in chaos. Everything is on fire, and nothing makes much sense. While this would normally be as good an excuse as any to eat whatever junk makes the dopamine flow, that’s not a great idea
A very special group of people with diverse special needs will be performing this Saturday, April 18, at 6 p.m., at Faith Church in Montoursville. They are called “Music from the Heart,” and this will be their third concert since 2024. Diana Logan is the sparkplug behind this wonderful musical effort, and Webb Weekly would
The Lycoming County Commissioners have spent years making difficult decisions, cutting where they could and protecting what they must. Scott Metzger, Marc Sortman, and Mark Mussina stood firm through eight consecutive years without raising property taxes, trimming budgets, and eliminating vacant positions to keep the county running without asking residents for more. That era of
Before the summer movie season kicks into full gear, you may wish grab some recent releases that you missed in theaters.

Obviously, we outdoor types pay close attention to opening days, especially the opening of trout season and the deer gun hunting season. While the opening of the gun deer season is still a ways off, our trout season is now underway. I’ll be honest, I don’t trout fish on opening day because I like to
When the weather starts to turn, I know so many of us are thinking about sandal season and cute shoes we can bring out from the wintry depths of our closets to enjoy the sunshine. However, I don’t think my feet are sandal-ready at the moment, plus it’s been a bit chilly, but I’m still
All of the golf fans are tuned in for the first major. I don’t know about you, but I find myself completely glued to the television the second weekend in April. Instead of fishing or mowing the lawn, I will lock myself in the addition with a loaf of bread and a two-liter bottle of
Twenty-five years ago, my interactions with Rich Zalonis were common. As a football statistician at South Williamsport, our meetings occurred weekly. But despite living in the same community, our paths have seldom crossed in recent years. Thus, I was surprised when he walked into our team’s dugout prior to a recent softball game in Hazelton.

Clearly, I’m not Jimmy. I’m far too young for that. Even if my birthday at the end of the week says otherwise. Last I saw, Jimmy was hopping down the bunny trail, hiding eggs in preparation for Beau’s first Easter. So, it looks like you’re stuck with me for the week. Let’s talk about something
I was on the fence. I didn’t think this would work. I wasn’t the only one. I first heard of the large baseball and softball complex coming to our area many moons back. It was a big project. MASSIVE. I was super jealous. I followed in the papers and listened to what my friends at
Having grown up in Lycoming County and spent most of my life roaming its hills and streams, it has been a natural progression to become an avid lover of nature and to enjoy the outdoor sporting opportunities this wonderful area provides.
