Although menopause is a natural part of aging for women, many women aren’t happy when they start recognizing the signs. Technically, menopause is when a woman stops menstruating— signaling the end of her ability to develop eggs and reproduce. Emotionally, many women feel the transition is more like a roller coaster ride. Menopause usually happens
Nicole Ippolito does not look like a politician because she really isn’t one. Yes, she is running to be elected to the office of District Attorney for Lycoming County, but in truth, she is doing what is required to get her name in the public eye so she can do the job that she has
Do you remember what it was like to be awe-struck and the feeling that you once had for the larger-than-life machines and the seemingly impossible tasks that they performed? A fire truck racing down the street, a pick-up or construction truck delivering a load to a construction site, wondering what it would be like to
Suffrage Day was observed in this city when about 50 men and women interested in suffrage assembled in the council chambers in the City Hall Saturday afternoon from 5 till 6 o’clock p.m. It was not a regular mass meeting and no notices had been sent out because the committee realized that it would be
How many times have you laid in bed in the early morning asking yourself, “What am I going to wear to work today?” Workplace dress codes, whether official company policies dictate them, or more casual standards everyone adheres to, can be difficult to navigate as casual styles are becoming more prevalent in day-to-day life. Unless
Rick Bressler believes the life of a World War II hero who was lost in a plane accident in 1946 in Clinton County is worth telling. That is why he produced a self-published book and developed a documentary about the man. On Saturday, May 4, at 1:30 p.m., Bressler will be presenting his 32-minute documentary
So, you went and got yourself a spring gobbler! Well, congratulations. Most experienced turkey hunters would agree that Pennsylvania spring gobblers are just about the toughest bird to get. Mostly due to the extreme hunting pressure that they are subjected to, these birds are usually the wariest you will pursue. It truly is no small
It is great to see basketball back at Memorial Park. Tip of my Webb Weekly cap to Mayor Gabriel Campana and his efforts on getting this done. When the basketball hoops were taken down a few years back, I was not a fan of the decision. I reached out to Mayor Campana and let my
So technically Monday was Earth Day, but really we should be actively helping to keep the Earth a better place every day, so I don’t mind being a little late to the party. The idea for Earth Day was the brainchild of then U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson. He organized the first Earth Day after witnessing
Nothing is as much fun as hearing a small child talk about their dreams of the future. A little girl that can do a front roll imagines herself competing on television in the Olympics, or a young guy who gets his first hit in tee-ball is ready to put on his Phillies uniform. Reality sets
A record crowd of 4,327 at Bowman Field saw the Williamsport Tigers inaugurate the Eastern League’s 25thanniversary season, as the locals defeated Elmira 11-4. It was all joy in Tigertown this morning for yesterday the Tigers playing under their freshman skipper, George Detore and living up to their new moniker unleashed a savage 16-hit attack—nine
Few may remember it, but back in 1966 a spaghetti western film, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” made its screen debut. It starred Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach. The film was set during the Civil War era and involved bizarre plots to extort money through a variety of schemes and
A reconstructed knee, four back surgeries, a sex scandal, a very messy breakup, a prescription drug problem, lost swing and the yips. These are just a few demons that haunted Tiger Woods since he last won a major. He’s now 43 years old, and he just remarkably won the Masters for the first time in
As a parent, instilling healthy eating habits in your children at an early age can aid in proper growth and development. Eating well goes a long way toward maintaining a healthy weight, increasing energy levels and improving moods while also reducing risk of obesity and other chronic issues such as heart disease and diabetes later
William Penn, the founding father of the Keystone State, was a huge believer in local government. For that reason as much as any other, government entity boundaries were developed around the idea that a person should be within an hour’s ride on a horse from their local government office. Out of this came the very
There are many ways to improve your health, well-being, and chances of living longer. Typically, Americans will try to lose weight, exercise daily, and eat well. While all of those play an important role in your health and happiness, studies show people who have satisfying relationships with family, friends, and their community are happier, have
The trees are budding, the birds are chirping, and the sun is shining, so yes, it’s safe to say spring is here! What I love about this season, besides the obvious warmer weather and being outside more, is that it is a great time to reassess your beauty routines and freshen up your face, hair,
Earlier this month, the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners gave final approval to the hunting and trapping seasons, and bag limits for the 2019-2020 license year. Hunters and trappers will see more changes occurring in the regulations than usual happen in an upcoming season. Let’s take a look at some of the changes. One of
I was at my “branch office” (Dunkin Donuts) the other day, and someone mentioned that they had gotten the new fishing catalog from Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s. Now all of us who have been smitten with the condition known as “fishing” enjoy browsing through a fishing catalog with all of the newest gear —
Father Manno is one of my favorite people in our neighborhood of the West Branch Valley. When we get together, we can talk all day, about everything from the Catholic Church to Ebbets Field and when his dad played for the Boston Braves. Before I get to our discussion about Lent and Easter, just let
Hippity hop, y’all. It appears the Easter Bunny is on the way. I am trading in hot sauce for sweets this week. I’ll most likely have a new video up as this issue hits mailboxes, but in the meantime, let’s talk bunny! I’ve said before, I don’t really have a huge sweet tooth. One bite
The Pajama Factory’s annual GREEN-O-REE will be held Saturday, April 20th!

Jackie Leighton, the Eastern Basketball League’s most prolific scorer, went on a spree last night as the Williamsport Billies captured the President’s Cup for the third time and second year in a row by beating the Lancaster Roses 110-87. Leighton scored a season high 41 points as the Billies won the “rubber” game of the
One of my favorite “sporting” weeks just came to a close. Yes. There is so much going on these first few days of April, and it shows. Congrats to VA as they claimed the NCAA title Monday. I am a huge fan of the Cavaliers and give them a ton of credit. They were bounced
Two Williamsport Area School District Odyssey of the Mind teams will head to the 2019 World Finals after securing first- and second-place wins at the state round Saturday at Pocono Mountain East Campus. Eight contending teams from WASD represented Cochran Primary School, Curtin Intermediate School, Williamsport Area Middle School and Williamsport Area High School. Those advancing to
In today’s fast-paced society of ‘I want it all, and I want it now,’ humble beginnings aren’t viewed as the preferred route of choice. But for those who have followed that path good things have often followed. Such is the case for former Warrior Run star quarterback Charlie Fisher who now 39 years later serves
Thirty years ago, Tina Turner recorded a song entitled “Simply the Best.” It immediately got picked up as a theme song for sports teams and wannabe stars. In fact, even Turner herself re-recorded it in 1992 with an Australian rock singer Jimmy Barnes, to promote that year’s New South Wales Rugby League in Australia. Perhaps Lycoming County
Rep. Jeff Wheeland (R-Lycoming) presented a citation from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to Coach Insinger in recognition of his 1000th win as head basketball coach for the Loyalsock Township High School. His family is also pictured in the photo with Coach Insinger: His wife Carol, his daughter Laurie Emery, his son in law Ron Emery,
Now that the major league and minor league baseball seasons are now fully underway it might be interesting to take a look at some interesting “factoids” about professional baseball in Williamsport and Lycoming County. Did you know that the man who organized the first major league players’ union played for Williamsport in 1877 and is
April is National Donate Life Month and a good time to remind people that organ donation is not just something you agree to upon your death. The 14,000 to 17,000 people currently on the waiting list for a liver transplant don’t need to wait for a donor to die, you could donate today. Liver transplants
