“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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
JUST 6 HOME GAMES REMAIN The Williamsport Crosscutters 2025 season is quickly winding down with just 6 home games left on the schedule. The final homestand begins THIS FRIDAY with games August 29-Sept. 3. CUTTERS FALL YARD SALE SEPT. 20 The Cutters Fall Community Yard Sale takes place on Saturday September 20th at Journey Bank
All good things come to an end. Summer is over, and the kids are back to school. Teach too. What happened? Much love to my young friends. The West Enders made us so proud. The 16U All-Stars finished 2nd in the World. It was an unforgettable run. One to remember. They were nipped in the
Don’t look now, but fall’s quickly approaching. Another Little League World Series is in the books, thousands of yearly visitors have departed, schools are back in session, and week two of high school football tees it up this weekend. Personally, I am grateful to iHeart Radio and my broadcast colleague Ken Sawyer for the opportunity
Overlooking the west branch of the Susquehanna River, Rep. Jamie Flick (R-Lycoming/Union) is pictured with players from Chinese Taipei (Team Asia-Pacific) and Nevada (Team Mountain Region), team families and coaches. Seated left to right are Billy Martin, who pitched the World Series’ first no-hitter in 1950, Donald “Doc” Shearer, who played for Montoursville Little League
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
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 the man who once taught Christian leadership behind the Iron Curtain hands you his pen, you don’t say no. Yet here I am, following Larry Stout’s footsteps at Webb Weekly’s government desk, where we bring you the latest from about town. Mr. Stout has written for this publication with dedication and grace for years,
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
I suspect that by now most people living in Pennsylvania, at least in rural Pennsylvania, probably know that we have some wild elk roaming about in some northern parts of the state. Even when I was a young man growing up in western Pennsylvania, we could on occasion drive up to the Penfield area and
As the summer days shorten and fall will soon be upon us, let’s take a look at what we can do over the next month or so to improve our habitat for the wildlife that we hope to aid through the upcoming winter months. Even though the daytime temperatures are slowly dropping as fall approaches,
The Williamsport City Jazz Orchestra is excited to announce several free performances this month, on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, August 20, 22, and 23. If you’ve ever been curious how a big band rehearses for a concert, then come to the Trachte Music Center at Lycoming College on Wednesday, August 20 for something different: an
Before we get to the heart of the order regarding all that’s going on, I have a little business-related item to cover. After talking about my lifetime ties to Kane Street and Little League days, several folks asked me where the Webb Weekly was moving to. I had covered this in a previous article, and
This year’s been… a lot. First, I lost my Rottweiler, Bulleit. He was my buddy, my protector, Mama’s big baby boy. Losing him was gut-wrenching. Anyone who’s had a pet cross the Rainbow Bridge knows the ache it leaves behind. I won’t dwell on it too long — partly because it still stings, and partly
In addition to all the fun and excitement on the field, as well as the Fan Zone activations and giveaways by Little League® Official Sponsors (to be announced in the coming weeks), a variety of new daily promotions and giveaways have officially been announced for the 2025 Little League Baseball® World Series, Presented by T-Mobile
JUST 7 HOME GAMES REMAIN The Williamsport Crosscutters 2025 season is quickly winding down with just 7 home games left on the schedule. The Cutters are home THIS Thursday, the 21st hosting State College and end the season with a 6-game homestand August 29-September 3. The Cutters are in the running for the 2nd half
School bells are ringing, students are heading back to school, and the yearly question: ‘What did you do on your summer vacation?’ will be asked. South Williamsport soccer standout Ella Moore may have the coolest answer by simply relating how she was a part of a National Championship-winning team in Florida. Moore, along with Central
The Little League World Series is off and running. A few days in, and we are all smiling. Some of the pitching performances have been outstanding. Much love to the boys from South Dakota. They nipped the Pennsylvania team last evening. I love their left-handed flamethrower. Maxen Snoozy has a great name, and he was
