There has been way too much negativity across our Nation in the last year, we need to leave it in the past and move forward full speed ahead. The United States of America is truly the greatest shining light of freedom and opportunity the world has ever seen. Our One Nation Under God must remember
Some people love Christmas, for others it’s Halloween… For me? It’s the 4th of July. Fireworks! Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood! Fireworks! Punny t-shirts! (Mine says ‘Abraham Drinkin’ with a pic of Honest Abe with a beer.) Fireworks! American flags as far as the eye can see! Fireworks! And no pressure to go, do, or
“You can’t complain about your plate being full if your goal is to eat.” That is a quote from Nick Bare, and I thought it was awesome. I have mentioned before how much I enjoy listening to him, but this one really got me thinking. Recently, just for fun, I did a “day in the
There will be a spectacular and vivid fireworks display to celebrate this nation’s 250th birthday, which will take place after all, at the Lycoming County Fairground after some scrambling and the unselfish efforts of Van Michael, Backyard Broadcasting, and various sponsors. We at Webb Weekly thought it would be interesting and informative to have Van
My extended family and I are currently in Glacier. A stunning National Park in northwest Montana. We return Sunday. Fantastic times. Totally off the grid. But there is free Wi-Fi. My article is loading. Glacier NP is outstanding. She spans over one million acres of super rugged terrain, pristine pines, turquoise lakes, and flowing waters.
If you live in a country setting like most of us do around this part of the state, we are used to spotting an assortment of wildlife roaming about the nearby forests and fields, and even our backyards. Over the past few weeks, we have had a couple of black bears walk by the house,
The Lycoming County Commissioners faced a fundamental problem at their recent meeting. The zoning ordinance they had been relying on to regulate data centers was written in 1991 and last amended in 2021. Neither version anticipated the scale and resource demands of modern data centers. These massive operations consume enormous amounts of electricity and water,
In part 1, we reviewed patches, serums, moisturizer, hand cream, and body wash, all of which are prep work for the essentials we’ll run through as we continue exploring the standard product types in a robust beauty and skincare routine. Part 1 focused mostly on the face and body, but hair oil and treatments are
Licenses: The current hunting license, which is valid from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 is now available for purchase at either your preferred local vendor or online at HuntFish.PA.gov. Regarding antlerless licenses, Pennsylvania resident hunters are guaranteed ONE license in any WMU and must purchase it up until 7:00 a.m. on July 13,
By Lou Hunsinger, Jr. As we get ready to celebrate the 250th anniversary of this nation’s birth, it might be interesting to look back just 50 years to remember what things were like during the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976. It was a time when institutions, both private and public, went out of their way to
Fifteen months before the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, the fight leading to the birth of our nation rang out with the battle of Lexington & Concord. That April 19, 1775, skirmish amounted to spring training for the Revolutionary War, with the scoreboard showing Minutemen 1, Redcoats 0. On that historic day, 49
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
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
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.
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
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

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
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.
