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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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.
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
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
On a glorious Sunday afternoon, two days removed from the season-long 100th anniversary celebration of baseball at Historic Bowman Field, it was a beehive of activity. Crosscutters players were getting to know one another between photo sessions and media interviews. Public Relations Director Gabe Sinicropi proudly showed off the diamond’s pristine condition, fans gathered for
My apologies for missing last week’s paper. Early deadlines and I don’t do well. I am trying. I needed to have my copy in a few days prior. I totally left my lovely editor’s replacement hanging. I can’t tell you the number of folks who noticed my absence. At least ten reached out on Tuesday.
As the school year ends and summer begins, many families look forward to a season of camps, vacations, pool days, and more flexibility at home. While summer can be a great time for rest and fun, it can also bring major shifts in sleep, meals, activity, and screen use. For children, those changes can affect
Almost every gardener knows the frustration: One corner of the garden bursts with life while another struggles to hang on. Flowers are slow to open, vegetables disappoint and the soil seems to drink up water and ask for more. However, seasoned gardeners know the difference between a struggling garden and a thriving one almost always
Warm weather in PA doesn’t ease in. Sure, there are a few teasing days of spring temperatures and then BAM! Full-blown summer hits with hardly any time for adjustments to your wardrobe, your internal clock, or to answer the age-old question, “What should I wear today?” Most months of the year, when uncertainty creeps into
ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 Collaboration is your secret weapon this week, Aries. Putting two heads together will be better than one. Take a walk or exercise to get away and gain perspective. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 Taurus, you may find yourself getting a small bonus or increase in pay, proving your financial luck
Constant phone notifications and a tendency to “doomscroll” for hours in an effort to keep abreast of the latest news has conditioned people to keep their phones in hand at all times. The Mayo Clinic cautions that excessive screen time threatens physical, social and mental health. Everything from obesity to eye strain to neck and
The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners gathered on Thursday, May 28, 2026, for a public session that carried the full texture of local government at work. Commissioners Scott Metzger, Marc Sortman, and Mark Mussina presided over a meeting that moved from community tension to community hope, from careful spending to careful planning, and from the
This article is for the people who are on the fence about taking control of their health. Maybe you know you need to take better care of yourself, but you keep putting it off. Maybe you are stuck in a yo-yo cycle where you are all in for a few weeks, fall off for a
One of my favorite types of fishing is hitting the lakes for a variety of panfish, especially crappies. I like crappie fishing for several reasons, and one of the main reasons is that when you find feeding fish, the action can be constant and last for extended periods. Let’s be honest, fishing is a whole
On Sunday, June 21, Father’s Day will be upon us, and it is the one day each year when we can show our Dad, our Pop, our Father how special we really think he is. Fortunately, with a little over a week to go, there is plenty of time for shopping and planning to make
With all that the Class of 2026 has witnessed in what was supposed to be that special senior year, they deserve a presidential quality commencement speech. So I looked to our Commanders in Chief since the founding of our Nation in 1776 for the class of 2026. Our 2nd President, John Adams, will give the
If Webb readers needed any confirmation that this particular writer is a true reading nerd, here it is: One highlight of my recent Southern vacation was the chance to peruse no less than seven different Florida newspapers. These included dailies and weeklies from such places as Naples, Fort Myers and the Peace River region, along
