I had every intention of writing a great piece, but then I ran into a few distractions. I did the best I could to find something fast, but nothing came to mind. Politics man. I am extremely thankful that the midterm elections are over. And perhaps life will even get back to normal. I have
A Webb Weekly salute and thank you to our Veterans. Without all the special men and women that have put everything on the line in the name of Country, we would not have our independence. Our One Nation Under God was founded by war, and it will always take the daily commitment of the United

Denim jeans are an important fashion staple. Jeans can work as casual wear but also work when paired with a blazer or button-down shirt. While denim will always be a part of many people’s wardrobes, the styles of jeans come and go. Certain cuts and colors will always be popular. But by scouring the runways
It all started with Jason York, director of the Lycoming County Resource Recovery Facility, otherwise known as the County Landfill. As there are often expenditure items that need to be approved by the county commissioners, Jason is something of a regular at the weekly work and regular sessions of the Lycoming County Commissioner meetings. Jason
At the beginning of the season, Ben Lewis set goals for himself, his team, and the season he was about to embark on with the Sullivan County boys’ soccer team. At the beginning of the season, those goals seemed far off as practices started to open. Last Thursday night, as Sullivan County attempted to advance
Take a drive on Route 54 through Montgomery. You’ll not encounter a red traffic light to impede your journey. However, the lack of such operational hardware may cause you to miss one of the community’s crown jewels tucked away along the roadway, similar to a family heirloom that you know is valuable, but rarely trot
Sean MacMillen is a combat veteran who did three tours of service in Afghanistan. Upon leaving the service, he found that he had great difficulty readjusting to civilian life. This led to many problems for him. “I fully admit I struggled to reintegrate into society when I returned from my 3rd tour in Afghanistan. I
Fishing has always been a passion, and I take full advantage of what North Central PA has to offer. I am on the water an awful lot and usually head out after dinner. I haven’t had the chance of late. Work and daylight savings always seem to get in the way, but if there’s a
Throughout its long 115-year history, Major League Baseball’s World Series has produced many memorable moments that have been etched in the annals of the game. Included was that moment in 1988, the last time the Los Angeles Dodgers won a World Series when a limping Kirk Gibson hit a game-winning pinch-hit home run in Game
An alumnus of Williamsport’s professional baseball teams took front and center as the 2018 World Series Most Valuable Player for the Boston Red Sox in this year’s Fall Classic. In the 2018 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pearce hit a game-tying solo home run off of Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen in the top
It is what every archery deer hunter has been waiting for. Whether it is further defined as “the pre-rut,” “the rut” or “the post-rut,” we are now moving into the days when the activity level of deer has begun to rise. Reports from sportsmen from Lycoming and surrounding counties tell us that deer activity is
For local fishermen and boating enthusiasts, the Muncy access — or lack thereof — has been somewhat of a hot topic. As many of us who frequently used the Muncy access know, the access to the Susquehanna River has been closed for quite some time now due to silt buildup from Muncy Creek. Actually, calling
When it comes to deer hunting a huge part of the ultimate reward of bagging your quarry is your ability to overcome a deer’s keen senses. While overcoming a deer’s senses is vital to success, I don’t want to downplay the importance of knowing and mastering your weapon of choice either but that’s another whole
Midterm Madness is finally upon us. I will be glad when the dust clears, and I don’t have to watch any political commercials. Across our great Nation, there has probably never been a more important midterm report card provided by “We the People.” There’s also probably never been more at stake. To me, it’s a
The weather is getting colder, I’m seeing pumpkin spice everything, everywhere…I guess that means fall is here! The best part is, is that Halloween is today! Speaking of Halloween, I picked all the winners for our Halloween contest Congratulations to the following winners of our Counting Candy Corn Contest! – Noah Clayton – Cashlin Rogers
There are a few facts I would like to point out before sharing my opinion on the two referendum questions concerning the form of government for the City of Williamsport appearing on your November ballot. 1. I currently serve as a City Councilman in your government. 2. I am not running to be elected for
As an instructor of political science at Lycoming College for 15 years (teaching state and local government, bureaucracy and public administration along with other related American government courses), and as an 8 year member of Williamsport City Council and four years as Mayor of Williamsport, I am qualified to express my opinion on the benefit
I’ve been spending a great deal of time at my beloved alma mater of late. Yes. I find myself taking a stroll down memory lane every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning. A lot has changed in the past twenty-three years, but I still get goosebumps whenever I head to the Taj Mahal. It’s grand. We
This week it matters not if you receive your Webb Weekly on Tuesday or Wednesday, we hope you will be in the ‘spirit of the season’ when the various costumed creatures visit your neighborhood. To some, Halloween is a nuisance time when they choose to turn off their lights to dissuade excited youngsters from knocking
For children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses, the experience can be almost unbearable and an unhappy one, but one local organization seeks to lighten their burdens and make their lives a little more bearable — that organization is “Magical Memories.” It is a 5013 c3 non-profit organization that is run completely by volunteers, and there
An old sales trick is to offer something and something vs. something and nothing. For example, an effective salesman does not ask if you want to make an appointment with him or her, rather they ask, “Would morning be better for you, or would you prefer afternoon?” That appears to be the choice that Williamsport
It was just another lazy summer day for Lydia Barbour as one of her friends approached her with the idea of taking part in Montoursville’s annual tennis game hosted by the high school team. Barbour went there looking for something to fill the void left by a hot day without much to do. She got
The Raven By Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at
Mentoring — what is it? I looked up the word “mentor” in the dictionary, and it’s defined as someone who guides, trains or advises someone with less experience. Many of us, who hunt and fish often, serve as mentors to family members and friends. To be honest, it’s often just as rewarding to see a
There’s going to come a time, and it should be fun, that our pets will be able to communicate to us with more than a mere bark or meow. Some type of app, linked to their brain, plugged into our laptop or cell phone will expose their thoughts, channel and funnel them, then translate them
Growing up outside of Montoursville, in rural Lycoming County, during the 1950s and 1960s gave a youth many opportunities to hunt and fish. Whitetail deer were available to hunt, turkeys were beginning to reach huntable numbers, and there was the occasional black bear that one might come across. But more numerous, and therefore more often
