  • The Red, White, and Blue of July0

    Jim Webb

    Thanks to Editor Steph for holding my spot on Page 2 last week. If you read her column, I left the office, and I was bound and determined there would be fireworks above the Market Street Bridge on the 4th of July. And that’s exactly what I did, although it might have gone unnoticed by

  • Summer Accessories0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Last week, we explored summer jewelry trends and how they can elevate warm-weather basics. Last month, we did a rundown of summer scarves. But necklaces and kerchiefs aren’t the only accessories for summer you can use to experiment with your style. With temperatures rising, staring into your closet most mornings during a heatwave often leads

  • Celebration0

    Scott Lowery

    While the smoke from the various fireworks shows celebrating America 250 has long since faded away, the sights and sounds of the holiday spectacular remain vividly entrenched in my memory, as does the reluctance and disdain emanating from those using the very freedoms provided by this country to bash the nation, even on the occasion

    Fireworks, Crosscutters, and Giveaways0

    Jim Webb

    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

    As Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band highlights both national and local history through the summer of 2026, one Central PA ensemble will get special attention on July 5. The Williamsport Scottish Rite Imperial Teteques Band, once the nation’s oldest Masonic band, will be honored with a free 7 p.m. concert that Sunday — performed where the

  • Mike Fogarty0

    Scott Lowery

    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

  • Cutters Manager Kenny Thomas Overcomes Personal Tragedy To Return to Manage Baseball0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    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

  • A Green and White Run to Gold0

    Jim Webb

    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

  • Bowman at its Best0

    Scott Lowery

    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

    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.

  • Attic Lemonade0

    Scott Lowery

    It was an overcast, cool May afternoon. Intermittent showers and a persistent wind made any outdoor activities uncomfortable. The May flowers that dared to show up after an April of similar circumstances shivered on their stems as overnight temperatures dropped into the freeze warning zone. Enough already. Simply stated, it wasn’t much fun. In a

    Wow, what a journey it has been for America’s Pastime in the West End of Williamsport.

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    This will be a season of baseball fun and action, as well as commemoration, when the Williamsport Crosscutters celebrate and commemorate the 100th anniversary of Historic Bowman Field. It certainly justifies the title of “historic,” having been the scene of great and noteworthy baseball and non- baseball events at the uptown ballpark. Founded in 1926,

    I’m a big advocate for people wearing whatever they are most comfortable in, especially while on vacation or traveling in general. Everyone has their personal preference, and while some of us are more than willing to sacrifice a bit of function for the sake of fashion, there are definitely a few “won’t wears” I have

    As spring weather finds its groove, the urge to lighten things up outfitting-wise is hard to resist. Heavy boots give way to delicate flats, sweaters to breezy tops, and dark-wash denim shifts into shades of white. The truth is white jeans (in all their variations) work year-round. They feel crisp and chic in winter and

    Most likely, those who follow sports were not surprised when the recent news broke regarding the betting scandal of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who checked himself into a treatment program to address a gambling addiction a week ago. While betting on sporting events has been around since sports themselves were established, the activity was

    The 1926 New York-Pennsylvania League season was duly opened yesterday afternoon with appropriate ceremonies and the Williamsport Grays, holders of the 1923 and 1924 championship buntings, launched the campaign with a clean cut 5-1 victory over Glenn Killinger’s Shamokin Indians. The weather was more suited for football then baseball. Overcoats were comfortable. The sudden cold

    Before I move forward with this week’s column, I want to clarify something that I’ve heard a few times over the years and again most recently. There are no cryptic messages within my column.

    Among my sports memorabilia is a souvenir license plate touting the words “Pittsburgh, City of Champions.” The Pirates in 1979, the Steelers in 2009, the Penguins in 2017, all black & gold glory, all ancient history. Oh yes, perhaps Dean Martin’s 1955 hit record “Memories Are Made of This” says it all for western Pennsylvania

    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.
