Before I get to my Memorial Day thoughts, I have a quick business item to cover. Recently, I’ve been asked where the Webb Weekly is moving to. See, we are currently going through some sprucing up and looking for a new tenant for the office next door to our Kane Street location. Folks, I guarantee
Memorial Day is often considered the unofficial kick-off to summer. With that, we are once again kicking off our summer giveaway! It’s another year for our Great American Cookout giveaway! As always, we are thrilled to bring you a fabulous giveaway, courtesy of Elery Nau Hardware, Rupert’s and Frosty Beverage. This year, we’re stepping the
This upcoming weekend, we will be observing Memorial Day. It is the weekend that generally ushers in the summer with picnics and other festivities, but many have forgotten Memorial Day’s true meaning. It is important to recall its history and why it exists. According to a website devoted to Memorial Day, there is evidence that
Whether you are lucky enough to have taken your first spring gobbler and wonder how to maximize the use of the meat, or an experienced hunter who is looking for some different ideas as to how to prepare this Great American game bird for the dinner table, let’s look at some recipes that have worked
I enjoy listening to Lycoming County Director of Voter Services, Forrest Lehman, every time he speaks in public. He has a passion for his office, and it is obvious that those who work for him and with him think very highly of their director. When Lehman speaks in public, mostly at the Lycoming County Commissioners
It was 50 years ago this year that the Vietnam War ended, but for many veterans, the memories of this war are still vivid. One of these veterans, a local man named Joe Grafius (Harry Joseph Grafius), has decided to write down his memories of his experiences of this war in a new memoir he
There are no miracles or shortcuts when it comes to healthy eating. Fad diets, supplements, meal replacers, superfoods, and metabolism boosters all come and go. At the end of the day, regardless of your fitness, wellness, or beauty goals, nothing can replace cooking for yourself with whole ingredients for the recommended daily doses of vitamins
As a ten-year-old Little Leaguer, Peter Sinibaldi dreamed of someday hitting a walk-off home run just like his New York Yankees heroes were doing. Eight years later, his walk-off single gave his South Williamsport high school team a 2-1 win over Sayre, clinching the school’s second consecutive District IV championship. Telling the media after the
I have seen many baseball venues — larger-than-life professional ball fields to stunning Little League complexes. I once waved a Homer Hankie in the Metrodome. A left-handed friend of ours pitched at Memorial. I almost caught a fly ball at Dodgers Stadium. I used to hang out on the bank to catch the games at
Mother’s Day, celebrated each May during Women’s Health Month, is a great reminder to honor the women who shape our families and communities. But as we pack away the flowers and cards, it’s important to remember that women should prioritize themselves — and specifically their health — beyond just one day a year. From adolescence
I was doing some target shooting the other day, and missing the target is not something we want to have happen. We know what we’re after and what we want to see when target shooting, and surprises are generally not a welcome sight. However, missing the target can sometimes be a welcomed surprise when it
As I watched, listened, and then researched the events unfolding before my very eyes, the one emotion I felt the most was hope. This followed the initial shock that an American-born individual was actually named the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. The word Pope, which is derived from Latin, simply means Father. There is
May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to reflect, connect, and, perhaps most importantly, speak up. In a world that often feels rushed, noisy, and overwhelming, it’s never been more critical to have honest conversations about mental health. Whether it’s stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or something more complex, the reality is: we all
Yarn and related things, whether made from natural wool or artificial, are not something that many people often think of for the many everyday things they contain. However, the organizers of the annual Central Pennsylvania Fiber Festival are seeking to change that through an event like their own. According to event organizers, their main goal
Pennsylvania College of Technology will hold three commencement ceremonies May 16-17 for the 885 students who have petitioned to graduate following the Spring 2025 semester. Nearly 750 students will march at the ceremonies, all of which are ticketed events to be held at the Community Arts Center. All of the ceremonies will be livestreamed. On
The term Athleisure has been around for quite a while, and with the rise of more casual dressing, wearing athletic or workout clothing for everyday life has become de rigueur in this day and age. On the flip side is a rise in workleisure, wearing polished garments rendered in performance fabric. Another term to understand
It was a beautiful day as the school bus carrying the South Williamsport softball team began its journey to Wilkes-Barre for a key matchup with highly regarded Holy Redeemer. Traveling across Route 80, the normality of the trip was shattered with shrieks of laughter as players scurried to close windows as a sudden storm brought
No words, folks. I feel so bad for the family. Continued prayers to my friends in South Side. This little girl has been on our minds for the entire week. The community has thankfully responded. Hopefully, we will find some closure. The Susquehanna River is quite majestic. But with the high water, anything can happen.
May is Stroke Awareness Month, a time to educate ourselves and our communities about one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Stroke can happen suddenly and without warning. When it occurs, time is brain. Every minute that passes can mean the difference between recovery and long-term disability, or even
The month of May has been home to many historical events over the years. Here’s a look at some that helped to shape the world in May 1925. “Pink’s War” comes to an end on May 1. The campaign was a British aerial bombardment against the Mahsud tribe in British India’s Punjab Province. The campaign
Whether you are seeking to fill your second spring gobbler tag or are still looking to connect with the first bird, there is still time to use some late-season tactics to get the job done. All day hunting for spring gobblers begins on Monday, May 19 (which means you can hunt from one-half hour before
In an effort to protect wildlife habitat, the Pennsylvania Game Commission plans to spray over 38,000 acres of state game lands this spring. Spongy moths previously were known by the common name gypsy moth, but the Entomological Society of America has changed the name. Spraying is planned for 16 different state game lands — 38,146
How many times have you been out on a trout stream and seen someone netting trout regularly? When we see someone hooking up pretty consistently, the first question that probably comes to mind is, “What are you using?” In my early days of trout fishing, I watched the guy who taught me the art of
In last week’s LION article encouraging volunteerism, I highlighted the Lycoming County Sheriff Mark Lusk’s early career that included thousands of hours of volunteer service. This was the foundation for a career in public service that will probably never be seen again. A year after graduating from Loyalsock High School in 1976, Mark Lusk joined
A Happy Mother’s Day and heartfelt thank you to all the moms. There is nothing more special than a mother’s love, caring, and nurturing. This represents an amazing gift in the plan of God. The bond between a mother’s love and maternal guidance seems to grow stronger as the years pass by, and mom is
Once upon a time, in a land littered with Goldfish crumbs and LEGO landmines, a tiny human looked up at you with sticky fingers and the purest of eyes and said, “Mama.” Your heart exploded. Birds sang. The clouds parted. The heavens whispered, “She hath become Mother.” That sweet title, Mama, was everything. It was
Dear Blabby: I hope you can help me. As the mother of twins, a boy and a girl, the past twelve years of my life have been devoted to my kids and the wonderful sports activities they have so much enjoyed. My son plays football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in
Healthy skin has always been on-trend; however, the means of achieving a healthy glow have varied from simple moisturizers to serums to sunblocks to gadgets purporting cell renewal, anti-aging benefits, and combating dullness. Of course, it’s not just topical products and tools that contribute to healthy skin but also diet and hydration. Calcium is a
Have you been fishing? My bearded friends ask, but unfortunately, the answer is no. They are quite puzzled, as I have been busy with Warrior Golf. I hope to get out this weekend, and we are planning an Amish float trip soon. I can’t wait. Congratulations to my boys on another fantastic spring. It wasn’t
The Pennsylvania spring gobbler season is now underway, and if your preseason scouting pans out, the stars are all aligned, and your calling ability proves successful, you might just be rewarded with a prized Pennsylvania gobbler! The majority of those who get up every morning well before daylight, trudge deep into the woods ahead of
