Every summer, I find it’s necessary to change up my makeup. A change to my makeup routine is a necessary pleasure. Sweltering heat, rising humidity, and icy blasts of air conditioning don’t exactly make the best conditions for the cosmetics I use in the winter and spring. And while there are a lot of beauty
For anyone who has ever shot baskets at a driveway or playground hoop, you know the feeling. All alone, you take a few dribbles as an imaginary clock counts down in your mind. 5-4-3-2 and just as the ‘clock’ hits 1, the ball is released skyward towards the awaiting hoop. As the ball swishes cleanly
The boys from West End continue to conquer. They are playing fantastic baseball. This group of talented youngsters is heading back to the Babe Ruth World Series. The 16U squad dominated the PA State and Middle Atlantic Regional. West End outscored its opponents 116-6 in those two tournaments. They were a perfect 9-0, and they
Women in their 30s and 40s may begin noticing physical and emotional symptoms related to changing levels of various hormones produced by the ovaries. Women in this age group also begin experiencing bone loss due to declining levels of estrogen. Women feeling these changes may ask themselves, “Is this perimenopause?” What Is Perimenopause? Perimenopause is
As most of you know, Lycoming County Coroner Charles Kiessling and I have become good friends over the years. We have known each other for many years, but as we’ve worked together in the interest of public safety, our friendship and my admiration for the effort he puts in have grown. In addition to his
As a professional pet groomer, Taylor Yeagle has an already established commitment to the safety and welfare, as well as maintaining a healthy environment, for various types of animals. It is with this in mind that she has engaged in a new venture that will benefit these animals, which she calls “Safe Haus.” Webb Weekly
SECOND-HALF BEGINS Joining the Crosscutters in the second half are some familiar faces. OF’s Max Mandler and Jackson Mayo along with P Tyler Valdez, all members of the 2024 Williamsport Crosscutters. Additionally, 11 players from our 1st half roster returning to the Williamsport for the second-half. SPIKES CAPTURES FIRST-HALF TITLE The State College Spikes finished
By Joseph W. Smith III Last week, your Webb movie critic covered “Fifty Years Ago in Film” — prepping for my upcoming talk on that topic at Brown Library: 5:30 p.m. on 7/31. Trotting out the 10 biggest box-office hits from 1975, we briefly discussed the top two — Jaws and One Flew Over the
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s … what?! Another Superman??? Yes, summer 2025 offers yet one further iteration of the beloved Big Blue Boy Scout; and it’s no surprise if viewers can’t keep count of actors who’ve played the Man of Steel — going all the way back to
Well, are you ready for the upcoming hunting seasons? They will be here before you know it. By now, you probably have your hunting license and perhaps have even looked over your hunting equipment to see just what you need to upgrade or replace for this fall. For some of you, vacations have been scheduled,
I’m sure it’s no secret that I’m an avid trout fisherman, but it’s been a bit of a challenge for us trout enthusiasts so far this season. For example, one day last week, I managed to get a couple of hours in for trout on one of our local streams; the weather was great, and
As is often said, trends come and go, but style lasts a lifetime. This is said so often because it’s true. Jelly sandals, wide-leg jeans, off-the-shoulder tops, and the like will cycle through the zeitgeist every few years, but your inherent style, the way you express yourself, and how you embrace yourself through your clothes
Sometimes in child’s play, or a hacker’s round of golf, a ‘do-over’ is called. It is just what the phrase implies, a second chance to handle a situation differently. It’s not about pretending a first attempt never happened, but rather an opportunity to improve an action the second time around. For Williamsport Crosscutters manager Kenny
I was recently asked to tee it up in a major tournament. I used to love golf, but now it’s totally different. Yes. I still coach at my alma mater. I continue to enjoy my interactions with the Lycoming College Warriors. I don’t play much personally. It’s totally cool. I don’t miss it. I’d rather
With July featuring 90-degree temperatures and August likely to bring more of the same, summer temperatures are enjoyed by many, but present health-related problems for others, particularly senior citizens. Information provided by the Family Practice Center offers useful tips for dealing with the summer heat. After age 65, your body can’t adjust to changes in
By someone who’s definitely not lactose intolerant but would risk it anyway Don’t ask me how I know, but July 25th is National Ice Cream Sundae Day, which means it’s the one day a year when it’s socially acceptable to have your entire daily calorie intake served in a bowl, covered in chocolate syrup and
A happy summer to everyone. There is so much good going on in our neck of the woods; we all need to find positivity and pass it on with a side of kindness. This especially holds true on the highways. I’m just putting this out there in the most straightforward way possible; everybody makes mistakes
I am not emotionally prepared to say goodbye to summer. The long days, the late nights, the obscene amount of ice cream I have ingested recently — it’s all been a dream. That said, reality (and algebra) is looming, and it might be time to start reeling in that “stay-up-till-2-a.m.-watching-random-YouTube-videos” sleep schedule. Let’s be honest:
It will be Hollywood on the Susquehanna, including a ceremonial red carpet opening when the first-ever River Valley Film Festival is held this weekend, July 18, 19, and 20, at the AMC Theater in downtown Williamsport at the corner of Hepburn and West Fourth Streets. The inaugural festival’s line-up features 20 films, featuring selections from
Last week’s “County Hall Corner” article was centered around the Greater Williamsport Levee System, which protects a large portion of the commercial area of our county from floods. Little did I realize when I was writing that article that there was a tremendous, horrible flood that would hit southern Texas, killing over 100 people, many
When the River Valley Film Festival takes place later this week, it will feature a documentary about one of the Negro Leagues’ most notable and underappreciated stars, Herbert “Rap” Dixon. But who was “Rap” Dixon? He is considered one of the best former Negro League players not yet inducted into the National Baseball Hall of
A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were headed down some back roads on our way to the Bloomsburg area. I asked her to drive so I could concentrate on scanning the woods and fields for whatever wild game I can see. We were only a few miles from home when we spotted
That’s the title of a talk I’ll give on July 31 at the James V. Brown Library. Needless to say, for movie-lovers in that hallowed era, it was a very good year indeed. 1975’s vast and varied cinematic landscape is marked by two watershed events: First, Jaws became the highest-grossing movie up to that year,
Young groundhogs, like the young of any specie, are cute. But they quickly grow out of their “cute” stage and before long are spreading their wings and traveling to new locations, where they will burrow holes as entryways to their dens. All too often, these holes are a problem — either in open fields or
SECOND-HALF BEGINS The second-half of the 2025 MLB Draft League season begins this week with a 5-game homestand at Journey Bank Ballpark (July 16-20). While the Cutters spent all of June in 1st place, July was not as kind and they were not able to hold on to the top spot. The team will need
The 13–14-year-old West End Babe Ruth all-star team won a championship on Sunday. George Lepley is the manager. This is his 30th state championship. Scott Naughton, PJ Dincher, Owen Berry and Mike Frederick are assistant coaches. Pictured are: Kneeling: James Naughton and Liam Lucas. Second row: Mason Greer, Cam Denune, Blair Bower and Anthony Dunlap.
Is the beach your happy place? Do you enjoy frolicking in meadows? Are you having a “sardine girl” summer? Are you sick of all of your tank tops and t-shirts already this season? Does your style need a mid-summer reboot? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then let’s talk about two
Time flies. The older one gets, the faster things appear to spin around you. For me, the time between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July annually seems to go by in the blink of an eye. Memorial Day signals that the uncertainty of spring is finally heading toward the warmth of summer. Then, before
There is no need to travel, as we are extremely spoiled. Yes. I do 95% of my fishing right here in Lycoming County. Some of my favorite spots are a short drive from the homestead. July is when I completely change my setup. I focus more on the summer Smallmouth. The water temperatures are up,
The middle of July can mean just one thing in these parts; it’s time for the Lycoming County Fair. This especially holds true in the eastern end of the county. What a great All-American event that celebrates the area we call home. This week’s cover informed me this is the 154th celebration of farming, food,
