  • The Ridge0

    Tim Hartzell

    The 2026 hunting season has dawned. Last week I got online and bought licenses for Heather and me, including our doe tags. Buying our licenses triggered a desire to climb to my adopted hunting ground in the Loyalsock State Forest. It’s located on the Allegheny Ridge in Plunkett’s Creek Township. I use the Loyalsock Trail

  • Summer Madness0

    Jamie Spencer

    I used to be a fan of summer, but I don’t do well with the heat. I am a big guy who tends to sweat, and I shouldn’t be allowed to wear my gray tees. The temperatures are getting close to 100 degrees. It’s miserable. The humidity is what kills me. Last week I was

    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

    A Fishy Story0

    Jamie Spencer

    Before I begin, I need to chime in. Jensen experienced a minor mishap. Too good not to share with the general public. He’s fine. I wrote an epic poem that has gone viral. The photos helped describe Jensen’s attempt in the kitchen. I gave him an A for effort. The poor kid had a learning

  • Persevering Performers0

    Scott Lowery

    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

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Robert Hughes, oldest resident of Loyalsock Township, whose home along Freedom Road was a station on the famous Underground Railroad in Civil War times, died at his home on June 10, 1941.

  • The Final Four0

    Scott Lowery

    It was not the way they had hoped their softball season would end. Two walks, a misplayed infield fly rule, leading to a seeing-eye outfield single plating two sixth-inning tying runs, as the game momentum switched and carried visiting Bucktail to an eight-inning 8-4 win over South Williamsport on the Mounties Senior day. It was

    I had the chance to see some action. I will try to get to at least one game each spring. The Backyard Brawl provides the opportunity. I can watch all of my friends. I have tons of relationships with all four teams. Jensen played with many of these kids growing up. I am cool with

  • Lycoming County: The Crown Jewel of PA Hiking!0

    Blair Steward

    Lycoming County owns Pennsylvania’s hiking culture. This is not an opinion. The landscape here is rugged and accessible in ways that make other counties seem small by comparison. Hundreds of thousands of acres of public land stretch across the Allegheny Plateau, creating a wilderness experience that has become rare in the Mid-Atlantic. The county opens the door

  • He Got the Call to the Highest Level0

    Jim Webb

    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. To the person over last week’s column that thinks I communicate with Republicans in this manner while trying to undermine Democrats,

    Special thanks to those who gave me some love. I received several notes and thank-yous from readers about some recent columns. Most were nice. A few were not. No worries. Your feedback is amazing. Appreciate the support. You make this worthwhile. Fishing has always been my passion; my lovely bride would say I am somewhat

  • Crowning Champions in March0

    Scott Lowery

    In a well-known metaphor dating back to 1879, the phrase ‘there’s light at the end of the tunnel’ is often used to describe the end of disappointing times. Unashamedly, repeating its usage today, the same can be said as March’s arrival has brought with it increasing daylight, signs of approaching spring, the beginning of the

    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

  • A Mixed Bag0

    Scott Lowery

    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

    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

  • Thank a Teacher0

    Jimmy Webb III

    I went to Lock Haven University, which some would call the Harvard of the PSAC, and it also happens to be a great teaching school. A lot of my friends went to college to become teachers, and I also have many friends who are currently teaching. It’s an incredibly important job and, honestly, a pretty

    I have a hard time believing that I’ve been doing this for 12 years! I picked up the torch from Mike Rafferty on a whim, and this column has gotten way more traction than I could have predicted (pun fully intended). Y’all know the drill by now. But in case you need a recap. Every

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    A “lucky hunting hat” has evolved into a unique fundraising program to help bring warmth and heat to those less fortunate. The program is called “Hats for Heat,” and it was the brainchild of Vince Reeder and Echo Mitchell. Vince posted an image of his “lucky hat” online, and the interest from people who saw

    Dave Heaps from Montoursville asked if I would give a short presentation. I said yes before I got any of the details. I never shy away from a crowd. A part-time mobile freelancer only gets the call when someone bails. I have done this before, but I am still a novice. I love these opportunities.

    As we honor our veterans in the upcoming week, I would like to share with you a quote from General Colin Powell. General Powell passed away in 2021 and is now honored at the very place he spoke these words. “The Nation owes a great debt to its veterans, whose sacrifice to the Nation spans

    Jim Webb

    As we close out October, there are so many issues that seem to bring negativity to our American Spirit. I believe in the two-party system, and Republicans and Democrats work for the American people. Lost in the world of today is the having of a beer and a sandwich together after Congress breaks. This so

  • Conundrum0

    Scott Lowery

    Although it is not a word most folks use in everyday conversation, conundrum was a word often used by a colleague during my pre-retirement working days. Meaning “puzzle, mystery, challenge,” it sounded a bit like a sophisticated way to express ‘there’s trouble ahead.’ Somewhere along life’s path of journalistic learning, I was told the number

    Over the years, Jean has made the same remark many times. “Aren’t we lucky we have made so many friends and had so many good times through the involvement we’ve had with sports?” Each time, I shake my head in agreement. Sports have been a constant in my life since I was a youngster, and

    If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say, “There’s nothing to do here!” I wouldn’t be writing this article.

    Hello, West Branch Valley and beyond! As I drove to the office early Friday morning, I was looking for a little inspiration to lead me to my column. I just felt like we all needed a little change of direction equivalent to one of Saquon Barkley’s amazing cuts on a Sunday afternoon. As I looked
