Special thanks to my friends from the Williamsport Crosscutters. I was in the crowd for the 18th annual Hot Stove Banquet. It was a rather festive evening. A well-organized event. Great food and camaraderie. Tons of raffles, door prizes, and auctions. $10,000 went to the United Way. The Genetti was packed. Gabe Sinicropi is the
Another rifle deer season is in the books. And if you haven’t tagged a deer yet, there’s still the late archery and flintlock seasons to look forward to. For those who were fortunate enough to fill a tag, the question naturally becomes: How do you want to remember the hunt? Maybe you’ve got a fresh
Winter doesn’t just bring snowflakes and shorter days, it ushers in a noticeable spike in colds, flu, RSV, COVID-19, and other respiratory infections. It’s a pattern we see year after year, and it’s not your imagination: winter really is the perfect storm for illness. It’s important you understand why and what you can do to
The Beatles captured something timeless in “Penny Lane” when they sang about a place where “all the people that come and go stop and say hello.” That same spirit of community connection filled the January 15th Lycoming County Commissioners meeting, where difficult decisions about limited resources revealed how neighbors must support neighbors when government funding
Wearing stylish outfits can be tricky in the winter, what with the unpredictable-to-downright-nasty weather, the necessity of function over fashion, and the general malaise of the season. However, by adding a specific accessory or incorporating a few styling tricks, you can go from just wearing clothes to walking out the door in a finished look,
Where do snakes go in the winter? No doubt that’s a question that’s been very heavy on people’s minds lately. OK, so it hasn’t been something you have given a lot of thought to lately, but what brought it to my mind was when someone told me that during that brief warm, rainy spell we
As the Indiana Hoosiers were close to completing their meteor-like rise to the NCAA football National Championship, coach Curt Cignetti responded to a reporter’s question, answering, “This would make a good movie!” While that could indeed become a reality, trying to sell such an outlandish movie script to Hollywood before Cignetti’s arrival in Bloomington two
ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 You are unstoppable this week, Aries. Your famous pioneering spirit is magnified, giving you the green light for major breakthroughs. Take the lead in situations that excite you. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 Prepare for a week of unexpected results, Taurus. A significant financial opportunity may appear out of the
First, there are the snowbirds. You know them, the ones who abandon our state and head south for the winter. And then there is you and me. The brave ones, who buckle up, hunker down, batten down the hatches, and grit their teeth in defiance as the winter weather descends upon us, bringing the Arctic
After sharing some thoughts and a picture of my father and me with you last week, I felt it was only fitting that my son share his words about the amazing blessing that both the Webb and Raemore families were awaiting. I’ll catch up with you next week. ~ Jim Webb Jr. now officially Papa
Winter has a sneaky way of trapping kids indoors with way too much energy and not nearly enough space to use it. When snow days, icy sidewalks, or winter germs keep families inside, boredom can strike fast. The good news? With a little creativity (and very little prep), indoor time can turn into some of
Hot on the heels of the highly successful 25th Anniversary Celebration, the Uptown Music Collective will return to the Journey Bank Community Arts Center stage for its first major performance of 2026. “Back to the Garage: Songs That Rocked the 2000s” — a one-night-only concert — is set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, January 24. The
Last year’s color of the year from Pantone was “Mocha Mousse,” aka a light, soft brown. At the time, I noted that it was hard to get excited about such a muted tone. 2026’s Pantone color of the year presents even more of a challenge for which to muster enthusiasm. This year’s color is entitled
Hope you all enjoyed a fantastic New Year’s with family and friends, as we welcome 2026 with gratitude for the extraordinary people who make our community safer every single day. The January 8th Lycoming County Commissioners meeting began with something rare in government chambers: a celebration of genuine heroism that unfolded twice within weeks at
As winter begins to tighten its grip on our daily activities with below-freezing temperatures, staying indoors seems like an increasingly good option. It is a good time to light a fire in the fireplace, pour your favorite beverage, and spend a few hours with a good book! Here, then, are two suggestions for a winter
As the winter scholastic sports regular season enters its final phase, it’s also the banquet circuit’s time for fall sports as schools pause to break bread together, look back at completed seasons, and thank those who played the game and supported the various programs. Recent attendance at one such event, the South Williamsport football gathering,
The opening of our trout season is still over a couple of months away. In the meantime, the Fish and Boat Commission has been looking into some changes regarding trout that an angler can keep. At present, our trout season opens on April 4th and goes until September 7th. During that period, an angler may
Dave Heaps from Montoursville asked if I would give a short presentation. I said yes before I got any of the details. I never shy away from a crowd. A part-time mobile freelancer only gets the call when someone bails. I have done this before, but I am still a novice. I love these opportunities.
Last week’s column had a lot of folks commenting they couldn’t believe it’s our 24th year. Many would then share a thought about my Father. Some asked, just how the Webb Weekly began? So, here ya go… It was the week between Christmas and New Year’s of December 2002. My Father called me and had
If you know anything about me, you know that I abandon hobbies like I’m being paid. Sewing, cross-stitching, comics, video games — the list goes on. However, one ‘hobby’ if you can call it that, that I have always done, enjoyed and never given up on is cooking. I love to cook.I especially love cooking
The Harlem Wizards return to the Williamsport Area High School to perform their feats of basketball prestidigitation on Thursday, January 22, at 6:30 p.m., with doors opening at 5:30 p.m., to again help raise funds for the Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation. “Our ongoing partnership with the Harlem Wizards, along with the generous sponsorship
“I had a purpose before anyone had an opinion.” — You’ll find out who said this later. God gave each of us a purpose long before anyone else had a chance to weigh in. Before the opinions, the criticism, the comparisons, or the expectations, there was purpose. It’s easy to get caught up in the
No matter what types of resolutions you’ve set for 2026, whether it’s exercising more, taking up a new hobby, or tackling a home project long overdue, chances are life will most likely get in the way to slow down, or even halt, your best intentions. You may start off running every day, ordering that crochet
As I was leaving church last Sunday, one of the guys walked up to me and said, “You’ll never guess what I saw at my place recently.” He went on to tell me that as he was heading out into his yard, two black bears approached, so he began yelling and the bears eventually took
While many folks enjoyed some downtime during the Christmas/New Year break, the sports scene, both nationally and locally, was in full swing. The college football playoffs and the down-to-the-wire ending of the NFL regular season were widely viewed and discussed. On the local high school scene, basketball and wrestling tournaments dominated the sports calendar. While
This year, on January 19th, the statewide archery and flintlock seasons for antlered and antlerless deer come to a close. Some hunters will thoroughly clean their firearms and equipment and then put them away until the next season, this coming fall. Others will turn their attention to a major problem throughout Pennsylvania that each and
I always have great intentions. But I already gave up on those resolutions. Perhaps next year I will join that gym. I am okay with my current shape. No worries. My new XXL Cotopaxi fleece helps me look thin. Happy New Year, boys and girls. Yes. I am looking forward to telling more tales in
As winter continues (and continues, and continues…) and daylight hours shrink, many people notice a dip in energy, motivation, and overall mood. You might feel more tired than usual, less focused, or simply “off.” These shifts are common and treatable. By understanding how shorter days affect the body and mind, you can take small steps
I don’t know about you, but that was just too much of a holiday break. I’m hoping it was just the way the calendar fell this year, and this isn’t going to become the new reality. The two groups of people I heard from with the most complaints were parents and business owners. Parents, because
Happy New Year Again! For those who are curious, I did, once again, manage to pull off Christmas! I don’t know why y’all doubted me! I even had time to relax on Christmas Eve and enjoy some quiet before the chaos. After enjoying the holiday with my family, I got to enjoy some much-needed time
