The events celebrating America250PA are about to hit full speed. As are a couple of our summer fun giveaways at the Webb Weekly. Before I get started, a couple of weeks back, I dropped the baton on one of the 400-meter relay gold medalists from Hughesville. Sierra DeWire is only a junior. I already had
Pets bring so much joy into our lives. It’s no surprise that, according to the American Pet Products Association, about 66% of U.S. households (roughly 86.9 million homes) had a pet in 2024. Even more telling—about 97% of pet owners consider their pets part of the family. Bringing a pet into your home is a
Williamsport and Lycoming County have a wonderful, vibrant musical heritage. It seems appropriate to celebrate it as part of this nation’s 250th birthday. And so it will be on Saturday, June 27, at the Brandon Park Bandshell in Williamsport. Organizers of the event don’t see it as “a consolation prize” to compensate for the lack

High blood pressure poses significant health risks for people of all ages, but there are effective ways to both prevent and manage this “silent killer” by working with a health care professional to make lifestyle changes. Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is when the force of blood flowing through blood vessels is consistently
The Uptown Music Collective, the area’s premier nonprofit school of music, is now accepting scholarship applications for its 2026-2027 school year, which will begin in September. This year, the Collective is offering 13 needs- and merit-based scholarships to currently enrolled students, as well as new students wishing to enroll in the school for the upcoming
While it’s fun to try different products and samples, it takes actual work to find those core lotions, potions, and eye shadow palettes that do the real work of helping you maintain a healthy skin barrier and put your best face and hair forward to meet the day. In other words, it’s a tall order
The Lycoming County Commissioners convened for their weekly public meeting with an urgent message for local townships. The meeting focused significant attention on a critical warning regarding zoning laws and data centers. A question from an area resident about upcoming technological developments opened the door to an intense discussion about the future of the region.
Hunters today have three basic options for where to hunt. There is public land, such as our Pennsylvania state game lands and state forests, but they can sometimes be crowded by other hunters whom you don’t know, and you can’t be too sure they are ethical sportsmen. You could join a hunting camp or buy
I’ll be honest, every time I head out to a lake or stream for some fishing, I’ve pretty much decided what species of fish I intend to pursue. My reason for that approach is to choose the right equipment, lures and presentation to accomplish a successful trip. This approach is especially true when I plan
We’ve all shared the experience. The passing of a loved one or dear friend fills our thoughts and conjures up memories we’ve shared. It’s hard to let go. For me, another one of those life-sadnesses occurred a few weeks ago, when good friend and colleague, Mike Fogarty, suited up for the team above. Mike could
Before I begin, I need to chime in. Jensen experienced a minor mishap. Too good not to share with the general public. He’s fine. I wrote an epic poem that has gone viral. The photos helped describe Jensen’s attempt in the kitchen. I gave him an A for effort. The poor kid had a learning
The Roniettes girls’ traveling soccer team recently traveled to bluebell Pennsylvania to compete in the tournament. They came home undefeated, with no goals scored against them, and the championship. Front row: Maddy Huff, Gracie Hamman, Bree Irrera, Amelia Richards, Izzy Svec. Second row: Italia Mangiari, Rose Fought, Kennedi Spriggle, Eva Reidy, Addi Spriggle, Maddie Schur,
I was very blessed to have my Dad as long as I did. As good a father as he was, he was an even better grandfather to Jimmy and Hunter. I only wish he would have had more years to spend with them, watch them grow, and share their milestones. In my column last year,
Much like my Mother’s Day list, my Father’s Day list changes and flow and gets a few edits along the way, but I think it’s a pretty good list. So much like Dads usually appreciate, let’s not get too fussy (just a little fussy) and get on with it… I told the moms on Mother’s
I am writing this as I get ready for my first Father’s Day as a dad. That still feels crazy to say. I have fully embraced my dad era. I am in bed by 8:00, loud music annoys me, and last week I think I almost yelled, “Get off my lawn!” Just kidding on that
In an emergency, time matters, but so does getting a patient to the right level of care. In North Central Pennsylvania, where long distances and rural geography can complicate emergency response, aeromedical transport can help bridge that gap. STAT MedEvac gives emergency teams a way to move critically ill or injured patients quickly when every
When you look out at the third base coaching box at Bowman Field, you see the seemingly happy-go-lucky and jovial Cutters Manager Kenny Thomas clapping his hands and offering encouragement and direction to his Cutters players, but behind that apparent cheerfulness is a man who probably cries inside and remembers the beloved wife that he
Veterans returning from the far reaches of World War II found a different kind of battle waiting for them in the quiet hills of Lycoming County. In June of 1946, these service members recognized an urgent need for protection in their rural corners. They did not wait for government intervention or outside help to arrive.
It may seem like summer is an unlikely time of year to wear a scarf, but with luxe silk squares, paisley bandanas, and linen wraps, summer scarves are a great item to have on hand. When they are lightweight, chic, and sizable enough to be worn in multiple ways, you are all set to level
The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered on a recent Thursday to address the mechanical and human needs of a sprawling county government. Scott Metzger, Marc Sortman, and Mark Mussina took their places in the Third Street Plaza to work through an agenda that touched on everything from judicial infrastructure to the safety of the local prison
I’m always on the lookout for wildlife in my daily travels, but it seems like spring and early summer result in a lot more sightings. A lot of young are being born and beginning to move about, which no doubt adds to more encounters and sightings, and that also holds true for our reptile populations.
Over the upcoming weekend, the first official day of summer will be upon us, and with it finally comes the realization that the long, bitterly cold winter is truly just a memory that most of us would like to forget! As the last week of spring comes to a close, pop-up showers, along with the
Logan McGinn and I are buds. The now 14-year-old phenom is an absolute stud. Super polite and sweet. The kid can do it all. Please don’t let his age and size fool you. Logan McGinn is a superstar. I ran into Logan at the WCC Member Guest. He went out of his way to give
Championship performances often include similar celebrations. Excited athletes jumping for joy, trophies held high for all to see, and cheering crowds as teams rejoice after a long-sought objective is achieved. They are moments players, fans, and coaches long remember. But after the past year’s high school championships had been written into the history books and
It’s been a great scholastic sports season, when we’re still talking about state championships after graduation. As I’m penning this article, the Montoursville Warrior baseball team is still alive and in the final four in the 4A division. Good luck to Manager Jeremy Eck and all his Warriors; hopefully, the next time I talk to
The last time I took an entire week off work was in 2014. So I made sure to really enjoy my time off! But it is nice to be home too. I really missed my dogs and kitties and my bed! Jimmy was nice enough to stop by and see my cats while we were
This Saturday, June 13, Market Street Hill in Williamsport will come alive as soapbox racers take to the course for the annual Williamsport Soap Box Derby. Soap Box Derby racing started in Williamsport in 1941 and ran until 1954, except during World War II from 1942 to 1945. During those years, Williamsport had 10 champions
Have Extensive NHL Pedigree For the first time in Williamsport’s long and storied baseball history, a pair of brothers grace the roster of a Williamsport professional team. If that isn’t notable enough, the brothers, Steele and Slaide Burd, have an extensive National Hockey League pedigree in their background. Two of their great-grandfathers are NHL Hall
