It feels like once the 4th of July fireworks are quelled, stores and advertisements start gearing up for back-to-school way faster than any of us are ready for. However, as of the writing of these words (August 1st), bookbags, lunchboxes, water bottles, new clothes, and underpants have all been purchased for the first days of
One of the things that keeps coming up in my conversations with people is the kill them with kindness approach. I have written about the division within our Nation and how people are getting paid a whole lot of money to drive that division. I have tried to suggest applying common sense and reason as
Did you know that Pennsylvania has more breweries than almost every other state in the US? We are second only to California. It works out to just over five breweries per 100,000 adults over the age of 21 in the state. If you are a fan of craft beer, there is little better place to
The First Friday celebrations each month have been highly anticipated events for more than 20 years. This Friday’s event promises to be an extra special one.

One of the things I’m sure we all enjoy is going down the road and spotting young wild critters, and high on that list, I’m sure, are fawn deer. I and several others I’ve talked to have had one or more occasions where we had to stop our vehicles to avoid hitting one or two
Do you have a bulge under your skin near your abdomen accompanied by a burning or aching that gets worse when straining? You may have a hernia. Hernias happen when there is an opening between muscles or connective tissue. Tissues, intestines, or other organs push through these openings and cause the most common symptom: a
The Deschutes River is located in central Oregon and is a major tributary of the Columbia River.

My wife gives away her Southern roots from time to time with her vocabulary, such as when she uses a word like “catawampus.” It means “all screwed up.” I think we might be looking at a “Catawampus Congress” in Harrisburg these days. It started with convening the 2023-2024 legislation session of the General Assembly of
Here are 17 reasons to see “Oppenheimer”: Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Kenneth Branagh, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Matthew Modine, Jason Clarke, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, Tom Conti, Alden Ehrenreich, Dane DeHaan, Benny Safdie, David Krumholtz, Gary Oldman and Robert Downey Jr. But here’s another reason that is even more important: Christopher Nolan. The
We’ve reached the part of the summer where it’s virtually impossible to go outside without feeling sweaty and sticky in all of the wrong places. There are lots of tricks and tips for staying cool, like putting ice in front of a fan, staying hydrated, eating lighter meals. Your wardrobe can also help you keep
Congratulations to Williamsport Area’s 9-11 softball team. They cruised past Central Columbia to win the Section 3 Championship. These local gals will now head to the State Tournament in Wellsboro. By the time you read this, several games will have already been played. Win. Lose. or Draw. I only wanted to give my young friends
Be sure you are buying tickets DIRECTLY from the Williamsport Crosscutters. There are literally dozens of resale sites online that try to make you think you are actually buying from the Cutters when you are not. If you purchase your tickets through a third-party resale site, you will not only pay more money for tickets
Rep. Jamie Flick (R- Lycoming/Union) released the following statement on the status of his salary as state representative during the budget impasse. “As many of you may know, I have opted not to receive my paycheck as state representative until the budget is fully passed. “I was among 12 of 203 members of the Pennsylvania
It’s great to be back on page 2 as we close out July. Thank you to Editor Steph and my entire staff for the great job they do. This allows me to get away here and there and enjoy this amazing Nation we live in. One of the topics Steph hit upon last week was
One of the best parts of my job is that Jimmy lets me write about just about anything that I want to. So that means if I want to use my space to shamelessly promote something amazing that a friend or family member is doing, he’s cool with it. So that’s what we are going
The folks at the Clinton County Fair are hoping for a wonderful way to celebrate their 50th anniversary this year as the Fair takes place July 29th to August 5th at the Clinton County Fairgrounds. The Fair was born as a result of several meetings between 1971 and April 1973. In August of 1972, this
Last week, I lost a dear friend, Vicki Smith, who died after a more than 10-year battle against breast cancer. Most obituaries would probably state that she lost her battle against cancer. Well, Vicki never lost at anything. She battled this scourge the whole way and bore her burden with dignity and strength. She never
Summertime celebrations with friends, family and neighbors are a perfect way to enjoy the sunshine, warm weather and camaraderie. To satisfy a hungry crowd, though, you’ll need recipes fit for the occasion. Turn to a versatile signature ingredient like Grapes from California, which can be used in dishes of all kinds from refreshing salads and
My wife Debbie and I went to the Lycoming County Fair on Thursday, July 13th. We arrived at 4:00 p.m., just as the gates were opening, and got the best parking spot imaginable. Of course, there was not much going on that early, but we didn’t mind. The weather was perfect as we walked around
Last week, your Webb critic honored the passing of Alan Arkin with a selection from that actor’s sprawling filmography. In this issue, with the fifth Indiana Jones film still going strong, we’ll pay similar homage to Harrison Ford — though happily, he remains very much alive. Side-stepping blockbusters, let’s highlight 10 of Ford’s lesser-known titles

It’s a great time of year as I set my alarm for 4 a.m. No. Not to do anything important. The British Open is LIVE in the early morn. There is something about watching golf before the sun. Links golf is a different animal. Mother Nature plays a huge part. Beware of the wind. Perhaps
Beauty trends, like fashion trends, tend to be cyclic, waning in and out, then resurging every few years. For the past several years, beauty trended toward the multi-step, multi-product, maximalist approach. You may have heard of the 10-step Korean Skincare Systems or having a variety of single-use products for specific parts of the face. Well,

On a sunny and hot 90-degree July afternoon, a slight breeze, a covered pavilion, and a scenic view of folks enjoying boating activities on the Susquehanna River provided the backdrop as long-ago South Williamsport high school classmates gathered at the Susquehanna Boat Club. Many years ago, during his scholastic days, class president Bob Coolidge excelled
Naturally curious, many pets sniff and explore other animals and objects, unaware they may expose themselves to potentially harmful parasites and conditions. According to the Companion Animal Parasite Council, 1 in 100 dogs tested positive for heartworm in 2022, and more than 1 in 4 indoor cats were positive for heartworm infection. External parasites –
By now, if you planted in spring, you are probably already enjoying the fruits of your labor. I bet other unwanted guests have also been sneaking goodies from your plants. To date, I have seen deer, rabbits, birds, and stray cats roaming my garden. To keep unwanted guests out of your plants, you can try
For several years now, Pennsylvania hunters have been able to mentor youths while hunting for several species of game birds and animals.

Let’s be honest: trout fishing has gone by the wayside by this time of the summer. Take a look around. How many trout fishermen do you see crowding the banks of a local trout stream? Almost none. Most bait and lure fishermen have pretty much given up on trout by the end of June, but
How many times have you been told to not look directly at the sun?

Common Eye Problems Caused by Warmer Weather One of the most common eye problems during
Jimmy has headed down the shore for a little vacation, so I’m taking up the helm this week. No worries, he’ll be back next week! In his absence, it only seems fitting that we should talk about all things sports. I’m not usually a sportswriter, but I think I can handle it. Maybe. We’ll see.
