On a glorious Sunday afternoon, two days removed from the season-long 100th anniversary celebration of baseball at Historic Bowman Field, it was a beehive of activity. Crosscutters players were getting to know one another between photo sessions and media interviews. Public Relations Director Gabe Sinicropi proudly showed off the diamond’s pristine condition, fans gathered for

TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 Taurus, you may find yourself getting a small bonus or increase in pay, proving your financial luck
My apologies for missing last week’s paper. Early deadlines and I don’t do well. I am trying. I needed to have my copy in a few days prior. I totally left my lovely editor’s replacement hanging. I can’t tell you the number of folks who noticed my absence. At least ten reached out on Tuesday.
Constant phone notifications and a tendency to “doomscroll” for hours in an effort to keep abreast of the latest news has conditioned people to keep their phones in hand at all times. The Mayo Clinic cautions that excessive screen time threatens physical, social and mental health. Everything from obesity to eye strain to neck and
This article is for the people who are on the fence about taking control of their health. Maybe you know you need to take better care of yourself, but you keep putting it off. Maybe you are stuck in a yo-yo cycle where you are all in for a few weeks, fall off for a
As the school year ends and summer begins, many families look forward to a season of camps, vacations, pool days, and more flexibility at home. While summer can be a great time for rest and fun, it can also bring major shifts in sleep, meals, activity, and screen use. For children, those changes can affect
Have Extensive NHL Pedigree For the first time in Williamsport’s long and storied baseball history, a pair of brothers grace the roster of a Williamsport professional team. If that isn’t notable enough, the brothers, Steele and Slaide Burd, have an extensive National Hockey League pedigree in their background. Two of their great-grandfathers are NHL Hall
One of my favorite types of fishing is hitting the lakes for a variety of panfish, especially crappies. I like crappie fishing for several reasons, and one of the main reasons is that when you find feeding fish, the action can be constant and last for extended periods. Let’s be honest, fishing is a whole
The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners gathered on Thursday, May 28, 2026, for a public session that carried the full texture of local government at work. Commissioners Scott Metzger, Marc Sortman, and Mark Mussina presided over a meeting that moved from community tension to community hope, from careful spending to careful planning, and from the
Warm weather in PA doesn’t ease in. Sure, there are a few teasing days of spring temperatures and then BAM! Full-blown summer hits with hardly any time for adjustments to your wardrobe, your internal clock, or to answer the age-old question, “What should I wear today?” Most months of the year, when uncertainty creeps into
On Sunday, June 21, Father’s Day will be upon us, and it is the one day each year when we can show our Dad, our Pop, our Father how special we really think he is. Fortunately, with a little over a week to go, there is plenty of time for shopping and planning to make
With all that the Class of 2026 has witnessed in what was supposed to be that special senior year, they deserve a presidential quality commencement speech. So I looked to our Commanders in Chief since the founding of our Nation in 1776 for the class of 2026. Our 2nd President, John Adams, will give the
If Webb readers needed any confirmation that this particular writer is a true reading nerd, here it is: One highlight of my recent Southern vacation was the chance to peruse no less than seven different Florida newspapers. These included dailies and weeklies from such places as Naples, Fort Myers and the Peace River region, along
It was an overcast, cool May afternoon. Intermittent showers and a persistent wind made any outdoor activities uncomfortable. The May flowers that dared to show up after an April of similar circumstances shivered on their stems as overnight temperatures dropped into the freeze warning zone. Enough already. Simply stated, it wasn’t much fun. In a
The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners met on Thursday, May 21, 2026, approving over $5.6 million in expenditures covering infrastructure, affordable housing, public safety staffing, and election operations. The session moved through a wide range of county business, with each item on the agenda carrying real consequences for residents across Lycoming County. Among the most
As the school year wraps up, many families are looking forward to a season of sun, fun, and well-earned relaxation. Summer offers a welcome break from early mornings, packed lunches, and homework, however, it’s also a time when routines can shift dramatically. For children, these changes can affect their sleep, nutrition, safety, and even mental
Adequate and affordable housing is one of the great needs in America these days, and the Greater Lycoming County area is no exception. In a bid to help lessen this problem, the Greater Lycoming Habitat for Humanity (GLHFH) organization will be conducting a “Blitz Build” during the two-day period of June 6 and 7. A
The alarm sounded off at 3:57 a.m., and after some last-minute packing, I was headed down the driveway at 4:54 for the 7-hour drive to Kazabazua, Quebec. I had only slept for a couple of hours after packing the night before, but the excitement of what I hoped was to come kept me alert as
I have always been interested in wildlife, and I have no doubt that this has had a lot to do with why I have spent the last 40 years of my life as a wildlife artist and illustrator, and as an outdoor writer. While the hunting seasons are nonexistent right now, I am still constantly
Summer is calling. If you have kids who require care over the summer months, chances are you’ve booked the camps, scheduled the vacation, and maybe even set a daily itinerary. Now for the fun (or not so fun, depending on your view) of checking in with your swimsuit collection to see if it’s up to
Wow, what a journey it has been for America’s Pastime in the West End of Williamsport. Between what is now known as Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field and Original Little League, the birthplace of Little League Baseball, there are just not many places in our Nation blessed with such deep-rooted baseball tradition. Who
If you are reading this, I’m already gone… OK, that’s a little dramatic. I’m just on vacation. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken this much time off, and honestly, I’m not sure what to do with myself. Actually, that’s not quite true. I’ll be keeping busy, and it’s sure to be an adventure!
This will be a season of baseball fun and action, as well as commemoration, when the Williamsport Crosscutters celebrate and commemorate the 100th anniversary of Historic Bowman Field. It certainly justifies the title of “historic,” having been the scene of great and noteworthy baseball and non- baseball events at the uptown ballpark. Founded in 1926,
Our hearts beat more than 100,000 times a day, often without us giving them a second thought. But when that steady rhythm feels irregular — fluttering, racing, or skipping — it can be unsettling and may be a sign that something isn’t right. These sensations, known as heart palpitations, are common and often harmless, especially
You bet I like to fish, but I’ll be honest: it’s not just the act of fishing I enjoy; it’s the catching that I really like. It’s seeing and feeling that strike, then fighting that fish successfully to the net, that really makes fishing fun and exciting. The problem with fishing, however, is that there
For outdoorsmen who are about to spend an increasing amount of time in the out of doors in the upcoming months, it is only a matter of time until you come in contact with ticks. Whether you are fishing at your favorite mountain stream, camping at a nearby state park, or working on food plots
I’m a big advocate for people wearing whatever they are most comfortable in, especially while on vacation or traveling in general. Everyone has their personal preference, and while some of us are more than willing to sacrifice a bit of function for the sake of fashion, there are definitely a few “won’t wears” I have
Lycoming County commissioners gathered last week to confront a set of challenges that strike at the heart of what makes a community function, from the safety of its streets to the soundness of its finances. The most urgent item on the agenda was a growing crisis among local youth. Commissioner Scott Metzger sounded the alarm
