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
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
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
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.
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
The one-day Youth Hunt for spring gobblers is Saturday, April 25, 2026, and the following Saturday, May 2, 2026, is the opening day of the month-long Pennsylvania statewide spring gobbler season, which runs until May 30. With less than a month to go before the season begins, the timing is perfect to spend time scouting
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
With spring on the way, many people are starting to think about gardening. The Williamsport Plant Show is a great chance to plan your own garden. It will be held on Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at City Alliance Church, 380 West Fourth Street. The show will feature around 22 vendors,
Before the summer movie season kicks into full gear, you may wish grab some recent releases that you missed in theaters. For folks who like thrillers, here are three solid picks now available for streaming: Dead of Winter – Having played theatrically in our area for exactly one week, this good-not-great drama is saved by
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
Muncy High School basketball coach Jason Gresh said it best – “March 24 was a bad day for Muncy.” The occasion of Gresh’s remarks was an April 1 celebration of life remembrance and tribute to John Brink, a Muncy coach and icon who passed away March 24. The public turnout of hundreds of friends, coaches,
The Lycoming County commissioners met this recently, with Vietnam Veterans Day having passed on March 29. The board took time to recognize the men and women who served in a war that divided the nation but never diminished the courage of those who answered the call. These veterans sacrificed years of their lives, and some
Spring is here, and it seems like we might be past the dreary days and chilly temperatures. However, spring is ever changeful with the wind turning in an instant. The best defense against weather shifts is outerwear, and this time of year has me looking toward transitional coat options to throw on over my outfit
Now that the regular trout season is underway, there will no doubt be a pretty good number of fishermen hitting the streams and lakes. I’ll be honest, I’m a pretty serious and dedicated trout fisherman, and I hope to be on a number of different streams over the next few weeks as well. Since I
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. Through the years, my respect and admiration for all the wonders of nature have
Every day, we move through life expecting immediacy like fast answers, quick deliveries, and instant updates. For more than 100,000 people across the United States waiting for an organ transplant, time moves differently. Each hour can mean a step closer to hope.

As I sat and pondered my column it was a beautiful sun-drenched spring morning. Although the temperature might be a little on the chilly side, the smell of spring is in the air. You can feel the warmth of the sun and just know warmer days are right around the corner. It’s such a special
Hey y’all! I’m so excited for Easter this weekend! I always have so much fun prepping for our annual Easter contest! Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It’s right up there with the 4th of July! But before I get too far into my article this week, let me ask you a question. Are
April 25 is the date of this year’s Youth Hunt for spring gobblers, and the regular season opens on May 2. So, my question to you is, “Is Your Vest Ready?” With the arrival of spring-like weather, it is easy to get caught up in all those outdoor chores that have been put off by

Fishing attracts millions of enthusiasts. The American Sportfishing Association says one in six Americans are anglers, which equates to more than of 50 million anglers nationwide. The fishing industry supports 826,000 jobs, and excise taxes collected on fishing gear and boat fuel help fund fish and habitat programs overseen by fish and wildlife agencies in
Now that spring has officially arrived, there’s no time like the present to start transitioning your closet for the in-between weather. With weeks that start out like the cold days of February and end with warm breezes that hint at May, dressing can be notoriously tricky. When that temperature shift happens over the course of
