Homeownership is a goal that many people aspire to. However, a complicated housing market in the United States, marked by high prices and high interest rates, has led the homeownership rate to dip to 65.1 percent in the first quarter of 2025. This decline marked a five-year low, and younger homeowners, particularly those under age
I can remember that bright blue sky and early sunshine like it was only yesterday. It could not have been a more beautiful late summer morning. As I started the workweek, Imus in the morning was on the radio; the first report on the show was that a small aircraft had flown into one of
Thursday will mark the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks on the US. As you go about your day, please take a moment to remember those who lost their lives that day. ‘Tank’ Baird, Todd Winder, and everyone from the 9/11 Memorial Coalition and the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company work tirelessly to make
As they have for the past 23 years, the 9/11 Freedom Ride Motorcycle Coalition will be holding its 24th annual 42-mile ride of remembrance this Thursday, September 11, to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that claimed more than 2,000 lives. This memorial ride originally began shortly after the terrorist attacks
An old sports axiom states, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish that counts.” That same axiom could also be applied to the 2025 Williamsport Crosscutters’ MLB Draft League season, which ended last week. The defending 2024 league champions got off to a good start, holding first place midway through the first half
Hats off to the Williamsport Millionaires. They are off to a great start. The boys are 2-0 and will host Central Mountain later tonight. I had a chance to call my alma mater last weekend. They looked solid and defeated the Hazleton Cougars 28-7. It was a rather festive evening. Senior Giovanni White is a
Perhaps only Wes Anderson would have the audacity to cast Bill Murray as God. He’s also among the few people who could pull it off — without seeming blasphemous or just plain silly. In fact, the latest from this idiosyncratic filmmaker — The Phoenician Scheme — winds up charting a similarly surprising spiritual journey: It
As fall is just about upon us, it’s time to check in on the upcoming coat and jacket trends for the months ahead. Fall is ripe for an outerwear reboot, as there are so many options in terms of fresh collections and seasonal upgrades. It certainly helps that one needs a coat for winter, so
As I sat in a chair with my dog, Buck, at my parents’ house during a Labor Day picnic, I glanced over at Finn, their dog, struggling to climb out of the pool. Age has begun to slow him down, and in that quiet moment, watching him, a wave of reflection came over me. It’s
OK, I’ll admit it; I absolutely enjoy fishing, especially when there is a lot of catching going on while I’m in the process of fishing. And like many fishermen, over the years, I’ve developed some favorite techniques, lures, and equipment choices. When I was still in school, I was taught how to catch trout with
When was the last time that you were interested in purchasing a firearm where the dealer in the shop said it was “OK” to take it out for a test firing to make sure it is what you hoped it would be? Have any of the big box stores allowed you to check out a
In a world where division seems to dominate headlines, Lycoming County discovered this week an unexpected source of unity that inspired and surprised us all. It’s in times of adversity that our unity and respect for one another shine. During their weekly meeting, the Lycoming County Commissioners unveiled details for what promises to be one
Every couple of years, I find myself feeling the need to update parents on where we are with kids and the online world. Tech changes fast, and kids rotate apps more often than their wardrobe. Keeping up to date can be tough, so I try to help as much as I can. When most parents
At an age when most people are thinking about retirement, their grandkids, or even joining AARP, Tom Cillo, 58, of Williamsport, will be putting on pads for the Lycoming Warriors (movie and book deal coming soon). Currently, there are only three people in football history who were older than Cillo to play the game. Two
“At birth, you inherit one million hours. It’s how you invest your time that truly counts.” CI used to say this to me when I was a kid, sitting in his gym during basketball camps. Back then, it was just a phrase — something that sounded wise but didn’t fully sink in. Now, looking back
My Webb Weekly articles are submitted on Friday. My lovely editor, Steph, will occasionally reach out when it is way past my deadline. YO. NEED YOUR ARTICLE BRO. Everything is finished except for this page. I am not kidding. I used to leave her hanging. Never my intention. Sometimes work gets in the way. I
Breastfeeding is a personal choice, and one that comes with powerful health benefits for both mother and baby. August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, making it a great time to highlight how nursing supports lifelong wellness, strengthens bonds, and can even benefit communities as a whole. Health Benefits for Baby Breast milk is often called
It’s again time to say so long to summer and turn toward fall, knowing full well we’ll still have some scorching days in the forecast as we all yearn for a crisp autumn breeze. Figuring out what to wear as one season transitions to the next is always challenging, but the turnover from summer to
If you did a survey, particularly of older hunters, I would bet that most began their hunting years by tramping the woods in search of squirrels. They were certainly an upland game that I targeted in my early days of hunting. Today, there seems to be less interest in spending time hunting squirrels, yet there
It’s hard to believe, but hunting seasons are soon to begin. I know, woodchuck hunting has been going on all summer, and I even managed to bag one myself, but I’m talking about our typical fall hunting seasons. Over the years, my typical start to the fall hunting season was pursuing the elusive, fast-flying small
Every August, Lycoming County plays host to one of the most remarkable international sporting events in the world. More than 400,000 fans from all corners of the globe pour through the gates of Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium during the Little League World Series, giving the Susquehanna Valley a unique role that no
Of all the many wonderful experiences and memories this year’s Little League World Series generated for those of us on the iHeart Media radio broadcast team, the one that sticks with me the most occurred before the first pitch was thrown. Hours before the tournament’s opening ceremonies were to begin at Volunteer Stadium, colleague Ken
On Tuesday, August 19th, Rep. Jamie Flick (R-Lycoming/Union) hosted Little League World Series (LLWS) teams and dignitaries for a picnic. The picnic, which has turned into an annual tradition, celebrates the spirit of community and global friendships formed through the LLWS. Attending the picnic were players from Chinese Taipei (Team Asia-Pacific) and Nevada (Team Mountain
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
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
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
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
