Homeowners know that the process of buying a home can be both exciting and nervewracking. The anxiety associated with buying a home has hit new heights during the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. Historically low interest rates and limited inventory has made 2020 an especially unique time to buy a home. It’s also a
Spring always brings with it a sense of hope and renewal, and this year we definitely need as much of that as we can get. Along with everything starting to bloom, the days getting longer, and the chill slowly ebbing, this time of year also means dress season has begun! As we come out of
Like many social service agencies, North Central Sight Services has found this past year of the pandemic a difficult and challenging one.

One of the most important aspects of advancing cancer treatment towards developing curative therapies happens because of research. By discovering new therapies, we can provide hope to patients who may have limited treatment options. Significant advances are made every day and the way this is accomplished is through clinical trials. Clinical trials are essential to
Many homeowners still find themselves stuck at home due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With all the extra time spent indoors, some homeowners are re-evaluating the space they occupy and turning to remodelers to help them safely and effectively complete home improvement projects. However, the pandemic has changed the way homeowners and remodelers communicate even
It’s that time of year again when a lot of our wildlife will begin leaving their winter homes along with their new additions. One of the most obvious critters that has been absent from our very white and snowy winter landscape is the black bear. I’m sure that most people know that black bears den
Every spring, the majority of turkey hunters end the season without success, while the usual suspects seem to always come home with a gobbler. It is not as if the unsuccessful hunters are not trying their darndest, but it seems to boil down to a few common mistakes that seem to plague them every season.
While the competition TLC owner Steven Kurtz is currently enduring may be intimidating to many, the fitness training center he operates at 1316 Commerce Park Drive is designed to address the fears and uncertainty some may feel when tackling the decision as to how best to initiate a training regimen. The Tamaqua, PA, native studied
1,267 games. A State Record 1,066 wins. Twenty-four District IV Championships. Thirty League Titles. Thirty-eight 20-win seasons. His teams have won more than 85% of their games. And now Coach Ron Insinger has a State Championship to add to his already impressive resume. Where do I begin? Congratulations to my old friend for finally pulling
The local sports scene is still buzzing — major props to Coach CI and the Lancers. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was. No. I wasn’t there in person, but I followed the game via Twitter. 2021 AAA State Champions. Incredible. It takes an entire VILLAGE to pull this off. Everyone played
Happy Easter; may you and your family enjoy a special day of togetherness. As the warmth of Spring renews life and raises the human spirit, so does the celebration of Easter. God’s greatest gift of his only Son and the message He brought to the human realm that ended with Jesus’ death on the cross
Hey y’all! I’m so excited for Easter this weekend! I have always loved putting together Easter baskets and can’t wait to put together some Easter surprises this year! But before I get too far into my Easter fun, let’s get to the good stuff! We have the winners in our First Annual Webb Weekly Easter
Noah Kriger is a typical eight-year-old. As I sat with his mother, Laura, and father Josh in their living room on Walnut Street in Williamsport, Noah was bouncing around on the couch, talking about basketball one second and pandas the next. More than once, he popped out of the room to show me something we
All too often, we hear of today’s youth being preoccupied with their electronic devices, self-absorbed, and not being concerned with the world around them. Still, there is a group of fourth-graders at Jersey Shore Elementary who give lie to that notion. They conducted a food drive that benefitted Jersey Shore’s New Love Center. That drive-in
Theodor Geisel, better known by his pseudonym Dr. Seuss, is arguably America’s most beloved children’s storybook author of all time. For decades, his books have taught children how to read and, better yet, love reading. As a student in college, Geisel was editor of Dartmouth College’s humor magazine “Jack-O-Lantern” until he was banned from writing
Passover is a Jewish celebration that begins this year at sundown on March 27 and ends on April 4. Passover typically occurs around the same time as Christian Easter. In 2021, the holidays overlap and share April 4 as the culmination of prayer for Jews and Christians. According to the religious resource My Jewish Learning,
Forgive my bias; I believe that Forrest Lehman is one of the sharpest, if not THE sharpest, county official we have. As Department of Voter Services Director for Lycoming County for the past seven years, his knowledge and understanding of voting laws is encyclopedic. Yet, thankfully, Forrest can dummy it down so that someone like
In the winter months, shoe options can be limited. For me, this past winter, it was either black snow boots, brown hiking boots, or black sneakers. But, as spring unfolds and all of the layers of loungewear start to loosen, more and more colorful shoe choices begin to emerge. Without having to worry about slipping
Where have all the turkeys been? No doubt, hanging out on a limb, roosting above the snow and ice and patiently awaiting this warmer weather that will allow them to scratch and peck for some much-needed food. There were pretty slim pickings over these tougher than usual winter months, but now the turkeys are showing
I know trout fishing is heavy on the minds of most fishermen right now — the season is upon us. That being said, it’s also true that any number of other fish species can also be successfully taken even while the water we fish is still pretty cold. While the cold water of spring is
Welcome, April — hope for warmer weather, green grass and flowers, and a most welcomed new baseball season! It’s been a rough past twelve months, and we all look forward to better days ahead. Among those annual rites of spring are increased activities on the area youth baseball, softball and soccer fields. Much of which
It’s good to be back from my short hiatus. I took a little break because I was coaching. Now that the season is over, things are slowly getting back to normal. These are crazy times. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day sports fans. So, I enjoyed my first year at the helm. Not
“Trouble knocked at the door, but, hearing laughter hurried away.” Benjamin Franklin In a world of stress and uncertainty, now more than ever, we need to laugh good and strong. In honor of April Fool’s Day, here are a few amusing jokes, and some are so bad they become funny. And remember, laugh, and the
Before I get to the accomplishments through perseverance by some of our area athletes, I think it’s most important to give a tip of my Webb Weekly hat with the American Flag on the side to Dr. Robert Lombardi, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. Dr. Lombardi went to the mat for all
Once again, boys and girls, you’re about to behold a sight so fuzzy, so adorable, so utterly cute, that I urge you who are easily tickled or prone to the giggles to look the other way…but if you are still here, step right up, everyone has a chance to win a prize! We are officially
Every year in March, the United States News Media Association sponsors a Sunshine Week to highlight the importance of transparency in our government at all levels, be it national, state, county, or even local school boards, township supervisor, or city council meetings. At the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on Tuesday, March 16th, the commissioners read
One of the things I love about spring is switching out my cold-weather gear for warmer-weather apparel and taking stock of the upcoming season’s trends. This spring, like last spring, will be a bit different, and yes, it may seem frivolous to think about fashion or shopping, but most would agree that a bit of
