  • Be a Parent, Not an Enabler0

    Jim Webb

    The greatest event in youth sports will be on our cover and featured within our pages for the next two weeks. I am sure most of my readers know Little League baseball and softball are also the largest youth sports programs in the world. It’s hard for me to even get my mind around that

  • Cincinnati O-High-O0

    Scott Lowery

    If you are like me, for the past several weeks you’ve probably shared summer travel experiences with friends and neighbors. Especially for those with school-age kids who play fall sports, these school-free vacation months provide the opportunity to share some time away. But regardless of your family status, most folks welcome a break from the

  • History and Founders Honored at Bowman Field0

    Wesley Sones

    Local landmark Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field marks its 100th anniversary this year. The park originally opened on April 22, 1926, back when it was known as Municipal Athletic Field. Construction cost $75,000 at the time — equivalent to roughly $1.36 to $1.42 million today. Its first game was an exhibition game between

  • August Arrives as America 250 Fades0

    Jim Webb

    Wow, it’s hard to believe the calendar was flipped to August. Before you know it, the kids will be back to school as the fall sports preparation has already begun. I have been asked many questions lately about tough topics affecting everything imaginable that our future generations will have to deal with. I think the

  • Learning Through Decisions0

    Jimmy Webb III

    Life is full of decisions. Some are easy. Some are incredibly hard. If you’re anything like me, though, I can make even the easy ones difficult. I can never pick where we eat, what to watch or where we are going. I tend to overthink. I replay every possible outcome in my head. I ask

  • Camp Miller0

    Scott Lowery

    Since the United States opened its doors to this summer’s World Cup, much has been said and written expressing the welcoming and friendliness of Americans to those visitors who poured in here from around the World. In two weeks, our little neck of the woods will be doing the same as “Williamsport welcomes the world”

  • Local Author with ALS Pens Novel0

    Dave Bellomo

    Williamsport author Marc Schefsky never expected to write a novel. For most of his adult life, his work was anything but writing. He spent years in hospitality, owned and operated a large landscaping business in Florida, worked as a golf pro in Ohio, and later built a long career at the historic Genetti Hotel in

  • The Right Kind of Pressure0

    Jimmy Webb III

    This article is for parents raising kids. I hope it gives you something to think about as you help prepare them for adulthood. And if there are any kids reading this, I hope it gives you a little hope and direction. To be honest, I wasn’t sure how to start writing this one. It made

  • Keeper of Things0

    Melinda Wentzel

    When it comes to saving things, I understand — especially if there’s an element of practicality or sentiment behind the decision. I’ve kept plenty of things from my past that are functional or have meant something to me, as I’ve expressed here in these pages. But I draw the line when the items in question

  • Volunteers: Youth Sports MVP0

    Scott Lowery

    It is estimated that each year, half a million volunteers around the globe support the Little League Baseball and Softball programs. Fittingly, when Little League expanded the number of teams participating in the World Series in 2001 and needed a second stadium, they chose the name Volunteer Stadium. In a few weeks, that stadium will

  • Smoke Happens0

    Jim Webb

    I hope that, as you’re reading this, the beautiful summertime sunrises, sunsets, and blue skies have returned. At press time, almost 900 wildfires were burning in Canada, to go along with more than a dozen across Northern Minnesota that were providing our local smoke screen. As the smoke was hugging the ground and I was

  • And I Quote…0

    Jimmy Webb III

    I am a pretty simple guy. I really appreciate and try to give thanks for the simple things in life. I have found that the times I get the most stressed are usually the times I overthink things. So I try to keep life as simple as possible. I like routines. I like plans. I

  • Baseball – the Thrills & Ills0

    Scott Lowery

    Regardless of one’s endeavor, successfully performing a feat with 43,863 partisan fans wildly cheering against you is not for the faint of heart. But St. Louis Cardinals slugger Jordan Walker was more than equal to the task, blasting six home runs on his final six swings to edge Philadelphia Phillies favorite Kyle Schwarber 12-11 in

  • 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

    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

    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

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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
