  • PIAA Forced to Accept Cash0

    Scott Lowery

    A few years ago, a last-minute change of plans left us with unexpected time on our hands, and we decided to head to a South Williamsport girls’ soccer team’s district playoff game. Arriving at the match site shortly before game time, I approached the ticket counter, presented a $20 bill, and asked for two senior

  • Priorities Shifted0

    Jimmy Webb III

    I think my age group is in a really cool stage of life right now. We’re “new adults,” and even though I’m almost 30, it still feels like I’m just figuring this whole adulthood thing out. I mean, technically, I’ve only been an adult for about 12 years, but I digress. What I’m trying to

    Jamie Spencer

    Penn State is still looking. The Nittany Lions decided to fire longtime coach James Franklin back in October. The fans and alumni were furious. It was a bold move. And unfortunately, AD Pat Kraft has not found a replacement. Many of the candidates have used this opportunity to land extensions at their existing schools. The

  • Where Boys Become Men0

    Blair Steward

    Sometimes the most meaningful moments arrive disguised as inconvenience. Who would have thought that a last-minute haircut emergency would deliver one of my most treasured Thanksgiving week memories? Before diving into this story, I must pause to thank my beautiful and patient wife, Marissa, for five wonderful years of marriage, and our children, Briella and

    UPMC in North Central PA

    The holiday season is a time for celebration, connection and plenty of delicious food. But for those managing diabetes, this time of year can also bring unique challenges. From festive gatherings to family dinners, the abundance of sweets and rich dishes can make it difficult to keep blood sugar in check. The good news? With

    Out With the New, In With the Old0

    Ken Hunter

    I know, I got the title of this piece backwards; it should be the opposite, “Out with the old-in with the new.” This thought came about as I was reflecting on my early hunting days back in the 60s. I came from a family that had no interest in hunting, except for my grandfather. I

    Jon Pries

    With the recent arrival of our first snowfall of the season, we are gently reminded that Christmas Day is a mere two weeks away! While you may have decided on any major purchases for Christmas gifts this year, there may still be a need for suggestions for “stocking stuffers” or additional gifts under the tree.

  • A Ringing Remembrance of Dave’s Christmas Spirit0

    Jim Webb

    It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go across the West Branch Valley. This Christmas carol seems perfect as we head into December. The song has been recorded by many artists over the years with different musical styles. I’m still old school and like Bing Crosby’s version the best. The song

    Steph Noviello

    At this point, y’all know the story. Yes, I am behind. But look at it this way — it’s only the first week of December, and I’ve got plenty of time. Am I going to use that time wisely and efficiently? Probably not. But that’s fine. This is fine. Everything is fine. I don’t know

    Happy late Thanksgiving to the fine readers of the Webb Weekly. And special thanks to those who are fans of this page. I am truly humbled by your feedback and praise.

    Scott Lowery

    With the college and professional football seasons building to a championship crescendo and Christmas just around the corner, baseball has entered its ‘hot stove season.’ While the sport has taken a back seat for many, November was a busy time for Penn College baseball coach Chris Howard, who was inducted into the West Branch Valley

  • UPMC Expert: Finding Calm in the Chaos: Managing Holiday Stress for a Healthier Season0

    Webb Weekly

    The holidays are often described as “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many people, they can also be the most stressful. Between shopping, family gatherings, financial strain, travel, and end-of-year work deadlines, it’s no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed. The good news is that while we can’t always control what’s

  • Seldom Seen0

    Ken Hunter

    I’m sure most hunters would agree that when it comes to deer hunting, the most exciting thing to see would be a giant trophy buck standing broadside forty yards away, and that’s especially exciting if that view is through your rifle scope. Well, as we all know, that scenario doesn’t always happen; however, I have

  • It’s a Wonderful Film: Commending Capra’s Christmas Classic0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    There are many ways to gauge a film’s legacy: critical tributes, best-of lists, online ratings — not to mention Oscars and a host of other honors. As a lifelong reader, I like to ask how many books have been written about (or inspired by) the movie. Until this year, I thought the record-holder was Psycho

  • Going-Out Tops0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Hard to categorize and elusive in nature, the “going out” top can range from a sparkly camisole to a festive knit. It can be a blouse, a T-shirt with a twist, a tank top, or even a turtleneck. With the holiday season upon us, you’ll want to be ready with a few going-out tops for

    Sometimes, the most unexpected beauty emerges from the routine.

It’s in these everyday moments that we find the most inspiring lessons about humanity. The November 20th Lycoming County Commissioners

  • Remembering Some Wartime Thanksgivings of the Past0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, we live in a time of comparative peace right now, but it wasn’t always that way. It might be interesting to look back at some wartime Christmases of the past. At Thanksgiving 1917, thousands of troops were already pouring across the Atlantic Ocean to fight the “dreaded Hun” in

    Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re getting ready to spend some quality time with close friends and loved ones.

Every year, I try to enjoy Thanksgiving for what

  • Brothers Hill and John0

    Jamie Spencer

    Two teams met up in Muncie, Ind. It was only an exhibition. Ball State hosted Mansfield University. The game didn’t count. It was more of a glorified scrimmage. Several D1 teams do this in the preseason. This contest featured two local standouts. Brothers Hill. David and Davion. David is a junior guard for the Mounties.

  • Happy Thanksgiving0

    Scott Lowery

    Although I do not recall when I first heard the rationale, but it has stuck in my head each year when Thanksgiving rolls around. It references Thanksgiving being the best holiday of the year because ‘you don’t have to buy gifts, just eat and sit around and watch football all day.’ While that was never

  • How to Wear Western Boots0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    With the current rise in popularity of cowboy boots, the question has arisen: how do you wear a western-style boot without going full cowgirl? Or at least that’s the question that comes to my mind. Full disclosure, I’m a city slicker, so there’s not really an authentic reason for me to wear cowboy boots. And
