The Clinton Township Supervisors propose to rehabilitate and improve their park, located along Route 54 across from Dollar General, and are seeking public input regarding park use and needs. They have been meeting with students at the Montgomery Area High School who have been sharing their ideas; they have also developed an on-line survey so
“Better Call Saul” has been one of the hottest series on cable for the past five years. It is on the network, AMC. The co-producer of the current season of the show is a former Williamsport area woman, Trina Siopy. Trina is the daughter of Sophia Daskalakis and Chris Siopy. Webb Weekly interviewed Trina about
There are state and federal job openings, so spread the word! For starters, the United States Census Bureau is still looking for help in knocking on doors after April 1st. Between March 12-20, a notification will be sent to every home, inviting them to participate in the census either online, by phone, or by mail.
The St. John Neumann Regional Academy’s 2019-20 season suddenly came to a close. We were nipped 59-57 by Southern Foulton at the horn. It was a tremendous game, but unfortunately all good things come an end. 22-5. Mid Penn and District 4 Champs. PIAA Sweet 16. Impressive, but it still hurts. Everyone took it very
“Spring, Spring, Spring! Sang the frog. Spring! Said the groundhog. Spring, Spring, Spring sang the Robin! It was Spring. The leaves burst out, the flowers burst out. And the robins burst out of their eggs. It was Spring.” Well, if you’re looking for some hard-hitting political editorial, this may not be the week. The above
It’s said that during a near-death experience, your entire life flashes before your eyes. When I had a heart attack five years ago, there was no visual timeline of my 47 years of existence. Instead, all that I saw was a fleshy, sequined covered butt wildly gyrating before my eyes. Gyrating left to right, up
More than 140,000 new cases of colon cancer are diagnosed each year, making it the third most common cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. However, when caught early it is highly treatable. If you knew there was a screening test that could dramatically decrease your risk, would you take it?
According to the calendar we still have about 10 days until spring officially starts, but I always consider West Branch Builders Home Show Weekend to be the unofficial kick-off to spring. We turned the clocks ahead, the days are getting longer (and hopefully warmer) and it’s time to start thinking about all those spring and
Do you enjoy learning about prehistoric cultures in Lycoming County, and want to learn more about an organization that explores and promotes our archaeological past and to share your collected curiosities? The Fourth Annual NCC8 Indian Artifact Fair is the place for you. The Northcentral Chapter 8, Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology will host the educational
Now that spring seems to be in the air, it might be time to start thinking about those home improvement projects, both indoors and outdoors. You have the perfect opportunity and venue to get even more serious about those ideas when the 61st West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association (WBSBA) Home Show is held this weekend,
A fossil is a plant or animal that was once alive, but after death, rather than decaying, it became set in stone and left an imprint of itself in stone. This is a good description of certain laws that made sense many, many moons ago when they originally came into being, but have long since
Props to Coach Mike McGarvey and the Lycoming College hoopsters. The Warriors just did the unthinkable by winning the 2020 Middle Atlantic Conference Championship. This was a total shocker as my boys literally came out of nowhere. McGarvey’s squad was picked to finish last in all of the preseason polls. Kudos to the other MAC
If you attended a high school basketball game during the recently completed season, you most likely would have heard student cheering sections erupt with the phrase ‘you can’t do that’ when an opposing player violated the playing rules. Nothing malicious, it was just a fun-loving jab letting an opponent know he/she messed up. Sports, whether
Like a lot of people here in rural Pennsylvania, I’m always interested in seeing wildlife, not just when I’m hunting or fishing, but anytime I’m out and about. Sometimes, however, it’s not just about seeing wildlife but where you saw it. Let me explain. I was at my “branch office” (Dunkin in Muncy) the other
Bras are a wardrobe staple that women (typically) wear every single day. They are also the one item we neglect the most. Chances are, you probably haven’t had a proper bra fitting since you brought your very first bra. In fact, most women are wearing the wrong size without even realizing it. The wrong bra
If you were to ask most turkey hunters “What two things are responsible for the killing of most wild turkeys?” the typical response would no doubt be “Humans and coyotes.” If you asked most frequently successful turkey hunters “What are the two factors most often responsible for the killing of wild turkeys?” the well thought
For a young group of middle school athletes, the opportunity to see a Division One team play is exciting in its own right. Add to that, sitting courtside and looking across the gym to see one of the most prolific scorers and, arguably one of the best ever from Pennsylvania and Penn State University women’s
Since Jimmy is down with the plague this week, it seems like a good time to go over some ways to prevent the flu. Coronavirus aside, this year’s regular flu is nasty and appears to be spreading like wildfire. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), “the single best way to prevent seasonal flu
If you worry that you or someone you love will get heart disease or even have a heart attack, it’s understandable. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Research shows you can lower your risk, particularly
Everyone has a different plan in mind for how they wish to live their life as they age. It’s important to consider your general health, mobility, mental capabilities, and specific activities you may need help with as you grow older, as well as your family’s support. It also is important to consider your interests, social
Adam and Lindsey Allen’s daughter, Sofia, suffers from Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy, a form of pediatric blindness. It is because of this that the Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy Association (ADOAA) was created to raise awareness about ADOA and to help fund medical research to find a cure. It is this organization that is to be
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most widespread disabling neurological condition of young adults around the world. You can develop MS at any age, but most people receive diagnoses between the ages of 20 and 50. The week of March 8 to 14 is MS Awareness Week, which is designed to shine a light and enhance
The 1980s will be the theme of the charitable night out for women known as the “Mom Prom” to be held Saturday, April 18 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Genetti Hotel and Convention Center. This year’s chosen charity is the Uptown Music Collective. The initial founders of Williamsport Mom Prom were Jillian Parks
Some terms, like fashions, go out of style. One of those terms is “public servant.” Once upon a time, an individual who worked for the government would generally have to make significant sacrifices. But over the past decades with the emergence of unionization and increased benefits, the term that is more often used today is
I’m sitting in the second row of the SJNRA bus with Mark Roman. The 20-4 Golden Knights are en route to Danville to play in the Single-A Boys District IV Championship. Mark is a great kid who doesn’t say a whole lot. Young Roman recently taught me how to synchronize my new Bluetooth earbuds. I
As Major League Baseball teams continue their Spring Training preparations in Florida and Arizona much of the media and fan buzz continues to be centered on the sign-stealing cheating shenanigans of the Houston Astros in seasons past. For how long and how severe the negative reaction will last is anyone’s guess, but with the regular
While thoughts of spring activities are slowly beginning to creep into my mind I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to hunt rabbits when George Burgett called me last week. A late season rabbit hunt is something we’ve been doing for quite a few years now with varying degrees of success but this year proved to
Imagine that your son or daughter has shown enough interest in hunting for deer this coming fall that they have completed the required hunter education program and have shown interest in going to the range with you to really learn how to safely handle a firearm. You take the time to spend several weekends doing
I would argue it’s easier to be chic as you age. At least it’s been so for me, but maybe that’s because I’m just too tired to keep up with all the latest trends. Instead, I find myself gravitating toward a more classic style as I’ve gotten older. Classic is key to a chic look
Well, it’s hard to believe that our 12th Annual Uncle Ron’s Monster Buck Contest is in the books. The Steve Miller Band was definitely on point with the lyrics, “time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future.” This from their all-time monster hit “Fly Like an Eagle.” Appropriately, the song was released in our
