I declare February 22nd National Hockey Day across the USA. A day to celebrate the proud, hardworking commitment made on the ice for decades by those who wear the USA across their chest. This day, as most of you know, produced the first Miracle on Ice in 1980. When Coach Herb Brooks’ group of college
As I sit at my desk to write this article, it’s not quite March. ThisClose. Almost there. I can practically touch it! And let me tell you, I am more than ready. By the time you read this, we’ll be just a couple of days from daylight saving time. I don’t know that I have
I have been thinking and praying, and praying and thinking, a lot lately about a tough decision. I was torn and really searching for a sign. I gave myself a timeline and kept asking God for clarity. Pastor Tim has always said that God hears all prayers. Sometimes it is a yes, sometimes it is
This area is blessed with many fine and effective non-profit organizations that do a wide variety of beneficial work for the people of this area, but to do so, they require financial support. This support provides the lifeblood for these fine organizations to do their beneficial work for others. “Raise the Region®,” taking place March
The signs of spring are starting to appear. While the plump-breasted worm-eating robins are thought of by many folks as the harbinger of spring, often in my neck of the woods, the arrival of the eastern bluebirds to the yard and nearby trees is the first avian signal that spring is on the way. Over
I was talking to a buddy about ice fishing the other day, and he said he kept moving around on the lake, drilling over 30 holes trying to find some active fish. The fishing was generally poor until very late in the day when he finally began catching a decent number of fish. When he
The baseball world was saddened two weeks ago with the news of the death of Hall of Fame Pirate second baseman Bill Mazeroski at the age of 89. Mazeroski, of course, is noted for hitting the most famous home run in World Series history when he hit the game-winning homer against the New York Yankees
The same rural values that teach children to work hard and stay humble also forge the character necessary to excel when global spotlights shine brightest. This truth became evident last week when Olympic gold medalist Megan Keller scored the game-winning goal for Team USA women’s hockey, bringing joy not only to her immediate family but
The Montoursville Hoops team is rolling. The Warriors have punched their ticket to the PIAA State playoffs. Coach Mike Mussina and his guys will face Lewisburg in the District 4 AAA Finals. I plan to go to shake some hands and kiss some babies. They are playing extremely well. Making the extra pass, hitting shots,
Becoming a parent for the first time is equal parts joy, uncertainty, and adjustment. While no book or online article can prepare you for every moment, understanding what to expect physically, emotionally, and practically can help ease the transition and set realistic expectations for life with a newborn. Your Body and Recovery Matter, Too After
It was a typical Sunday morning as the pastor stood before the parishioners making the weekly church announcements. As he departed to join the choir for the formal entrance to begin the service, he suddenly reappeared, stating, “One more announcement, the hockey game is 1-1 after two periods.” The congregation nodded and smiled approvingly. The
The Uptown Music Collective returns to the Journey Bank Community Arts Center on Saturday, March 14 at 7:30 pm with Women of Rock II: The Music of Joan Jett, Pat Benatar & The Pretenders. This one-night-only performance, presented in partnership with UPMC North Central Pa. and UPMC Health Plan, features student musicians paying tribute to
Last month, I highlighted some potential skincare resolutions. For those of you who jumped on board or are rethinking your beauty routine, there are upcoming skincare trends that may interest you and support your skincare health. Here’s a rundown. If this past summer you or the little ones in your life got swept up into
There has never been a time when one’s faith has been more important. There has also never been a time when one’s faith is being tested more by fear and division. We witnessed this on many levels this past week. Soon we will spring ahead into daylight saving time; let’s talk about what is most
Before we do anything else, I want to start by welcoming back a Webb Weekly fan favorite from years past. Those of you who have been reading for a while will remember “Notes from Planet Mom.” Mindy Wentzel shared her unique insights into parenting and life. Her stories were filled with love and often the
If you have ever daydreamed about doing some hunting out west, there are some inexpensive opportunities available that won’t break the bank like a 2-week fully guided pack horse trip for elk and mule deer might do. You can actually have wonderful experiences hunting across Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming, or just about any of the
During the 1880s, for a short time, the door to organized baseball was slightly ajar, allowing some African Americans to play and excel in our National Game. One of these Black baseball pioneers was former Williamsporter Javan Emory, who played both locally and for teams out of the area from about 1877 until about 1897.
The Lycoming County commissioners met last week, and the meeting carried a particular weight, one that spoke to the nature of public service and the patience required to do it well. With Presidents’ Day approaching, the board took a moment to address the importance of respecting public office regardless of political affiliation. It was a
I’ll wager that virtually all my readers have seen a movie starring Robert Duvall. And it’s a similarly safe bet that everyone has loved at least one of these. I say this with confidence because the celebrated actor — who died Feb. 16 at the age of 95 — had such a long and wide-ranging
The objective began with simple intentions, searching the closet for an item I thought was readily at hand. Instead, it led to premature ‘spring cleaning’ with unused items finding their way into bags to be donated or discarded. While unintended, the exercise provided a refreshing cleansing experience. Accordingly, a similar approach provides the opportunity to
Pennsylvania Special Olympics recently held its 47th Annual State Winter Games at Seven Springs Resort. In attendance were more than 275 athletes, 400 coaches, and 500 volunteers from all 9 state regions and 25 county programs. A three-day competition saw athletes compete in preliminary and final rounds in Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, and Snowshoeing. Representing the
This is a great time of year, kids. The basketball postseason is here. I will do my best these next few weeks to see my friends and their teams. Let’s get things rolling. Props to the South Williamsport Mounties. Joe Simon and his squad won the Mid Penn and tallied 20 wins. When did they
What I’m liking about some of the beauty and cosmetics trends here in 2026 is that they appear to be achievable and a means of elevating your everyday face. There’s also a softer feel to these trends, with a focus on enhancement rather than bold color. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a bright lip
How often have you been driving down the road and looked out the window and caught a glimpse of a big bird flying by, or you caught sight of a large bird perched in a tree? My first thought is whether that sighting was of a bald eagle; if not, what was it? A couple
I look forward to my winter ride up 44 North to Poust Taxidermy every year. It’s always great to talk about the past buck season with Dana Poust and Sam, the Taxidermy lady. I can’t think of a better thing to do on a cold, snow-covered day than to hear the stories and discuss the
Let’s be honest. Lately, it feels like the world has been turned up to maximum volume. Every time you open your phone, there’s a new headline, a new scandal, a new argument, and about 3,000 opinions demanding your attention before you’ve even finished your morning coffee. Staying informed matters. But being constantly overwhelmed does not
For 30 years, Riverdance has wowed audiences worldwide with its high-stepping Celtic dance. This year, they celebrate their 30th anniversary with a nationwide tour. They will grace the stage of the Journey Bank Community Arts Center with their dancing magic on February 26 at 7:30 p.m. According to some of their advance publicity, “Riverdance 30”
A man stood before the Lycoming County commissioners on Thursday, February 6, voicing concerns about tax dollars, the landfill, and White Deer Golf Course near Montgomery, and it became clear within moments that he had been asleep to information that had long since been settled. Lycoming County sprawls across 1,244 square miles of Pennsylvania wilderness,
