The stories that surround the Little League World Series are usually as good as the event itself. They often involve local folks who love and support the event in so many ways. This year was no different, only with an aviation twist. It goes all the way back to when this young boy was asked
We are around three weeks out from the first day of fall, but I can already feel the change coming. It’s a lot darker when the dogs take their last trip outside for the night, the nighttime temps are definitely cooler, and you can just ~smell~ fall in the air. With a new season approaching,
Hi everyone — I’m Jimmy Webb III, and I’m starting this series to share a little bit about life as someone in my late twenties, figuring it all out one day at a time. I like to call myself a “new adult,” even though I’m 29 — and yes, I know that sounds funny, but
The Susquehanna River in Lock Haven will be alive with the roar of power boat engines and the daring doings of the operators of those boats as the 54th Annual Lock Haven Labor Day Boat Regatta takes place August 29 to September 1. The regatta features three days of American Power Boat Association-sanctioned power boat
Usually, sometime in May, I treat myself to a deluxe pedicure to get my feet and nails ready for sandal season. Now, as summer comes to an end, most folks’ feet could probably use a bit of TLC. But who has time for a nail appointment, what with back-to-school and autumn activities coming in quick
When the man who once taught Christian leadership behind the Iron Curtain hands you his pen, you don’t say no. Yet here I am, following Larry Stout’s footsteps at Webb Weekly’s government desk, where we bring you the latest from about town. Mr. Stout has written for this publication with dedication and grace for years,
All good things come to an end. Summer is over, and the kids are back to school. Teach too. What happened? Much love to my young friends. The West Enders made us so proud. The 16U All-Stars finished 2nd in the World. It was an unforgettable run. One to remember. They were nipped in the
Don’t look now, but fall’s quickly approaching. Another Little League World Series is in the books, thousands of yearly visitors have departed, schools are back in session, and week two of high school football tees it up this weekend. Personally, I am grateful to iHeart Radio and my broadcast colleague Ken Sawyer for the opportunity
I suspect that by now most people living in Pennsylvania, at least in rural Pennsylvania, probably know that we have some wild elk roaming about in some northern parts of the state. Even when I was a young man growing up in western Pennsylvania, we could on occasion drive up to the Penfield area and
Overlooking the west branch of the Susquehanna River, Rep. Jamie Flick (R-Lycoming/Union) is pictured with players from Chinese Taipei (Team Asia-Pacific) and Nevada (Team Mountain Region), team families and coaches. Seated left to right are Billy Martin, who pitched the World Series’ first no-hitter in 1950, Donald “Doc” Shearer, who played for Montoursville Little League
As the summer days shorten and fall will soon be upon us, let’s take a look at what we can do over the next month or so to improve our habitat for the wildlife that we hope to aid through the upcoming winter months. Even though the daytime temperatures are slowly dropping as fall approaches,
The Williamsport City Jazz Orchestra is excited to announce several free performances this month, on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, August 20, 22, and 23.

When Webb readers receive this issue on Aug. 26 or 27, I’ll be in the throes of my first-ever week teaching college. And yet I also officially retired more than six years ago. Here’s what happened: Regular followers of my movie pieces will recall that on July 31, I gave a talk at Brown Library
Whether you’re catching pitches behind home plate, swinging a bat, or grabbing passes on the football field, your hands are doing important work. Unfortunately, the hands, fingers, and thumbs are some of the most commonly injured parts of the body across all ages. Catchers and Hand Injuries: A Common Pairing In baseball and softball, catchers
Before we get to the heart of the order regarding all that’s going on, I have a little business-related item to cover. After talking about my lifetime ties to Kane Street and Little League days, several folks asked me where the Webb Weekly was moving to. I had covered this in a previous article, and
This year’s been… a lot. First, I lost my Rottweiler, Bulleit. He was my buddy, my protector, Mama’s big baby boy. Losing him was gut-wrenching. Anyone who’s had a pet cross the Rainbow Bridge knows the ache it leaves behind. I won’t dwell on it too long — partly because it still stings, and partly
In addition to all the fun and excitement on the field, as well as the Fan Zone activations and giveaways by Little League® Official Sponsors (to be announced in the coming weeks), a variety of new daily promotions and giveaways have officially been announced for the 2025 Little League Baseball® World Series, Presented by T-Mobile
School bells are ringing, students are heading back to school, and the yearly question: ‘What did you do on your summer vacation?’ will be asked. South Williamsport soccer standout Ella Moore may have the coolest answer by simply relating how she was a part of a National Championship-winning team in Florida. Moore, along with Central
The Little League World Series is off and running. A few days in, and we are all smiling. Some of the pitching performances have been outstanding. Much love to the boys from South Dakota. They nipped the Pennsylvania team last evening. I love their left-handed flamethrower. Maxen Snoozy has a great name, and he was
What snake is that? That question comes up more frequently, especially around this time of year. Snakes are very active right now, and they start showing up more often in mid- and late-summer. This past week, I removed a five-foot black rat snake that someone ran over on the road in front of my house.
Even though we are in the midst of the warmer and drier days of August, days seem to slip away, and before we realize it, fall will be just around the corner! Cooler temperatures and lower humidity will usher in the fall season, which officially began on Monday, September 22nd. Then soon, the various hunting

Sharing a meal offers far more than a full stomach; the benefits of eating together extend well beyond the dinner table. In the “2025 World Happiness Report,” evidence shows that sharing meals has a substantial impact on an individual’s well-being. Those who regularly eat with others report higher life satisfaction and display higher levels of
Women in their 30s and 40s may begin noticing physical and emotional symptoms related to changing levels of various hormones produced by the ovaries. Women in this age group also begin experiencing bone loss due to declining levels of estrogen. Women feeling these changes may ask themselves, “Is this perimenopause?” What Is Perimenopause? Perimenopause is
A few years ago, for my birthday, I attended a Stevie Nicks concert, and while there, I took advantage of the merch table, picking up a t-shirt and a tote. The tote is something I now carry whenever I’m going into an unsure situation, a sort of talisman to ward off bad energy, think professional

Well, hey there, y’all — it’s that time of year again! Bittersweet, like that last s’more of the season when the marshmallow’s perfect but you know swimsuit weather is about to be replaced with school supply aisles. Yep — it’s Little League World Series season in Williamsport! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it
The eyes of the sporting world will again be on South Williamsport when the 78th Little League Baseball World Series begins play this week.
