  • Beyond the Headlines: Understanding Exploitation, Human Trafficking, and the Recent Massage Parlor Arrests0

    Press Release

    Recent reports regarding arrests connected to local massage parlors have generated significant attention throughout our community. As the story has spread across social media, so have strong opinions, assumptions, and judgments about the individuals involved. First, I would like to express appreciation for the law enforcement agencies involved in these investigations. Cases involving human trafficking

  • Happy Father’s Day…0

    Steph Noviello

    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

    The Bookworm Sez: “Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond” by Eve Plumb with Marcia Wilkie0

    Terri Schlichenmeyer

    Tic-tac-toe. You can picture it now: boys on one side, girls on the other; Dad and Mom, top and bottom, Alice in the middle. Was it fifty years ago, twenty years ago, last weekend that you last saw that tic-tac-toe? Doesn’t matter, you’ll look for it again. And again, clicking around. And in the new

  • UPMC Expert: Preventing Injuries at Home and on the Road0

    UPMC in North Central PA

    May is a time when the weather changes. Many people are active and spend time traveling, adventuring outdoors, and taking in the warmer, longer days. May is also Trauma Awareness Month and given the increase in activity, the perfect time to review the most common causes of serious injuries in our area and the everyday

    The Lycoming County Commissioners spent their April 9 meeting clearing the air on several contentious issues that have been rippling through the community.

  • Celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate For He Has Risen0

    Jim Webb

    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

    D.I.Y. It stands for Do It Yourself, and sometimes you can. Sometimes you can’t, though, and when you can’t, when the project or solution is beyond your skills and over your head, you call someone who knows how to fix things. As any homeowner knows, a good handyperson is worth their weight in gold. As

  • Gringos, Rivers, Hearts and Paradise: Best Reads from 20250

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Right around January 1 each year, book-loving friends start sharing their reading lists from the past 12 months — exchanging tallies, finds and recommendations. Back when I had school-age kids and a full-time job, I managed only 40 or 50 a year; but as a retired empty-nester in 2025, I chalked up a whopping 142

  • Hunter & Smith: Good Guys0

    Scott Lowery

    As the anticipation of Christmas faded in the distance and the new year quickly approached, news media outlets filled their space with ‘lookbacks’ of 2025, which, in all too many instances, recalled a year filled with much tragedy and violence. As a “Webb Weekly” contributor since the first issue of the publication, those who read

  • The Roving Sportsman… Less Stress in 2026!0

    Jon Pries

    The Holiday Season is winding down, the year is coming to a close, and folks are conjuring up their New Year’s resolutions. There are always the ever-popular promises to oneself to lose weight or to finally set up a budget and get our finances in order. These, however, seem like goals that are easier to

  • Wouldn’t that Be a Great Thanksgiving?0

    Tim Hartzell

    In review, we are on a quest to answer five questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What am I missing? What is truth? What must I do? Before proposing answers, we have taken time to discuss the quest for truth, the spiritual instinct placed in us by God, the power of belief, and

  • Much More Than a Game0

    Scott Lowery

    The initial awareness of the news seemingly went in one ear and out the other. Another night of senseless violence in Williamsport resulted in the shooting of two teenagers, apparently unrelated incidents, leaving one victim dead and another hospitalized. Our society has entered a dark world where repeated similar occurrences, whether local or national, begin

  • Protecting the Flock: Advice on Domestic Abuse in the Church0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Saturday, November 8, was a gorgeous day of sun, warmth and fiery foliage; but I spent most that time inside my church — attending a conference on domestic abuse. Beside me lay a brochure confirming that one in three women will experience this trauma — and that it’s “just as prevalent within faith communities.” Regular

  • November is National Homelessness Awareness Month0

    Dave Bellomo

    National Homelessness Awareness Month, observed every November, is an opportunity to raise awareness about the realities of homelessness, reduce stigma, and encourage action. By dedicating a month to focus on this issue, people in social services hope to educate the public, influence policy, and mobilize resources to support those in need. Awareness campaigns highlight the

  • “Blood! Blood!” A Long Look at Psycho’s Shower Scene0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    In 2018, an unheralded little documentary came out with this oddball title: 78/52. Dedicated solely to the shower scene in Hitchcock’s Psycho, that film took its title from the number of camera set-ups and shots contained in that now-legendary sequence. It’s safe to say that no one else ever has made — or ever will

  • Lycoming Lion: Where Did You Sleep Last Night?0

    Blair Steward

    The Susquehanna River, a silent witness, carries the memories of the town. It holds the echoes of factories and the rhythm of train wheels, carrying them downstream. In Williamsport, the river flows like a hand that will not stop. Rail bridges slice the sky into lines that resemble music, a symphony of the community’s struggles.

  • County Hall Corner: Behind Family Photo Frames0

    Blair Steward

    Some people still hold disdain for me, but it would be wasteful not to use myself as a cautionary tale if it opens eyes to our county’s most recent proclamation. I survived a severely harsh childhood home despite having every toy imaginable. My cousins never suspected our family’s reality because I never even considered telling
