    This week’s write-up has very little to do with sports. I only wanted to give my boys a quick shout. My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. Yes. There is never a dull moment. I just celebrated my fifth anniversary. We are quite busy. My fellow work chums say that I am a

    Celebrating Twenty Years0

    Andrea McElroy

    Four years ago this May is how long I’ve been writing for Webb Weekly, and it truly has been a life-changing experience. I’m one of the newer writers, but most of the writers have been along for the ride since the beginning! It’s really neat to hear their stories over the years. Each year at

    Jamie Spencer

    I try to leave on a positive note. And 2022 was a fun one, kids. There were so many great stories from this past year. I am glad that I got to share some. I am truly blessed and humbled. The praise and feedback from this part-time gig are off the charts. It is sometimes

  • County Hall Corner: My Year in Review0

    Larry Stout

    For the past several years, I have always used the last week of the year to look back at my columns and see what my readers thought of my articles. I want to thank all those who have spoken to me personally or written comments to let me know your opinions about those articles. Feedback

    Jim Webb

    The hustle and bustle of the holiday season are in full swing across the West Branch Valley. That means it’s time for me to go to work, ringing the bell for The Salvation Army. I’m sure most of you know the story, but for our new readers and maybe those that have forgotten, Dave Sechler

    Andrea McElroy

    We made it to Thanksgiving week! I hope the last few weeks of reading my columns have helped you prepare for this glorious Thanksgiving season. As you gather with family and friends from near and far, remember how much we have to be thankful for. Count your many blessings; name them one by one, count

    Andrea McElroy

    Oh, by gosh, by golly, it’s time for turkey, potatoes, and stuffing. Fancy ties, granny’s pies, and families gathered around. And they whisper, “Happy Thanksgiving” to yooouuuuu! Holy moly! I should be a songwriter. That was just beautiful! *Insert my famous cheesy smile here!* Folks, it’s November. I can’t believe I just typed that. I

  • High-ROI Home Upgrades to Improve Curb Appeal0

    Family Features
    • September 21, 2022

    Your home’s exterior can say a lot about you and your family while also making a first impression on guests (and potential buyers). Because of the impact curb appeal has on the amount prospective buyers are willing to spend on a home, it’s important for homeowners to look beyond simply choosing the right siding color

  • To You, My Readers.0

    Andrea McElroy

    I get so blown away by the folks who read my column — people I would have never imagined. I had two girls I graduated with from high school who were at the same wedding I was months ago. Both of them, separately, said to me how proud of me they were and have followed

  • Sophie, April, Molly, Maria, Brittany & the Little Lady: Six Films About Strong Women0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Two weeks ago, I rhapsodized over “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” the new release about a widowed British cleaning woman; then, in our last issue, I reviewed the online documentary, “What Is a Woman?” Noticing a trend, I decided this week to continue focusing on females — with a half-dozen films from my book on

  • So You Want to Get Into Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    Over the past couple of years, it seems like more people have hit me with the question, ” I want to get into fishing, so what equipment should I buy?” Well, it would take me a year of columns to answer that question, and I’m not sure that would still be enough. What I can

    A Smile, Handshake and Conversation Can Go a Long Way0

    Jim Webb

    One of the things I enjoy most about doing the Webb Weekly is getting to talk to so many people. Believe me; my job never gets boring because I get this opportunity with folks about so many different topics. This includes the obvious, like working with those at businesses, discussing columns within the paper, talking

  • Sweet Patoot0

    Andrea McElroy

    A few weeks ago, when we were putting our daughter’s bedroom back together after a complete remodel, I caught myself saying something I hadn’t heard in a while. I was putting all her clothes back into her nice new big closet. Kenzy was bouncing all over like it was Christmas morning. She had waited five

    Andrea McElroy

    It was a beautiful day and my first day back to finally being able to walk around a grocery store again. My stepmom, Chrissie Perry, was sweet enough to get me groceries the first week. For the two weeks after my surgery, my hubby and Momma would grab stuff here and there for me, or

  • Baseball’s Peril0

    Scott Lowery

    It is no secret to anyone who takes the time to peruse this weekly column or knows me personally; I have had a lifelong affinity with baseball. The times I’ve spent playing, coaching, watching, broadcasting, and writing about the game have filled my life with great joy, friendships, and wonderful memories. In recent years we

  • First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania Adds To Its Fundraising Team0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    For more than 100 years the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania and its predecessors such as the Williamsport Foundation, have been improving the quality of life for the people of this region through community leadership, the promotion of philanthropy, the strengthening of nonprofit impact and the perpetual stewardship of charitable assets. In a bid

  • Baseball Giveth0

    Scott Lowery

    There is a very good explanation for those shattering sounds that have been heard of late throughout the valley. Perhaps not as high numbers as the daily COVID count we’ve been besieged with, but never-the-less many of those well-intentioned New Year’s resolutions that had been made two weeks ago have already been smashed or tossed

    Jamie Spencer

    This past week, my 12-year-old son asked if I would take him and a buddy to the Loyalsock and Williamsport game. I checked my schedule, and we were scheduled for an early practice. I was thinking about doing some scouting but eventually caved. We loaded up the Jeep and made a quick stop in the

    Where to begin? I am officially back on the sidelines — coaching hoops here at St. John Neumann Regional Academy. I continue to enjoy hanging out with the boys. Sure, the wins are nice, but I only do this to stay involved. The entire landscape has changed, folks. It is a rather tough and thankless

  • County Hall Corner: Inner View Interview0

    There are times when even I get writers’ block (which some might describe as a block head), so I decided to do something original. I sat down and thought through all the questions I received over the years about my Webb Weekly columns. Here are a few of them and my responses. “Where do you

  • County Hall Corner: Change for Gain without Pain0

    Larry Stout

    Since childhood, I have been a quote collector, and one that I have used in recent years more than any other has been by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who said, “Every organization is either living out the birth of a new vision or the death of an old one.” A more succinct quote in the same

  • County Hall Corner: Voting Smart0

    Larry Stout

    On Tuesday, May 18th, the Pennsylvania Election Primary will be held for all registered voters who have not already voted by mail. Many voters often skip an off-year primary, but recent events have made this routine election something that should be given serious consideration. There is a lot at stake, and everyone who takes the

  • Into the Shark Tank and Then Straight to China1

    Jim Webb

    My column was to follow up where I left off last week with “Always Question Science, Medicine, and Government.” It was to cover the complete fleecing of America by the long-serving elected in Washington. That will have to wait until next week. You’ll be shocked by the multi-millionaires that have grown at the trough of

  • 2020 is Over. Thankfully.0

    Jamie Spencer

    Where to begin? Usually, I leave on a positive. But 2020 was a hard one. The story of the year was COVID. It has affected us all in many ways. I would say that it changed me personally. I no longer trust the media. I only read WEBB WEEKLY. I did enjoy my time with

  • Better Luck Next Year0

    Larry Stout

    If ever we would want a year to end, 2020 is the year. Even Stephen King would not have been able to imagine such a hodgepodge of disasters coming one after the other; a presidential impeachment (remember that?), a pandemic, city riots, an undercount census, major event cancellations, massive economic, social and educational shutdowns, travel

  • County Hall Corner: Something Good about 20200

    Larry Stout

    In January of this year, my hopes for Lycoming County in 2020 was that it could be the Year of the Volunteer. I wanted to highlight volunteer fire companies and non-profit organizations’ efforts and how they needed new blood to stay alive. I hoped that with the experience of County Commissioners Tony Mussare and Rick

    Scott Lowery

    It was a month before Christmas when the Fairfield Auto Groups’ Rick Quigley-driven red Chevy Tahoe made its way up Poco Farm Road. But for its passengers, the Boos (pronounced Bose) family of Loyalsock Township, it might just as well have been Santa’s red sleigh on Christmas morning. The event was the culmination of iHeart

  • Gazette and Bulletin: July 21, 1917 – Draft Summons Men for Duty0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The absorbing topic yesterday was the draft which was being made in Washington yesterday afternoon and which found its reflection in the city in the long list of numbers that were posted over the press wires and were posted on the bulletin board as they were received. It was a serious day and its seriousness

  • County Hall Corner: Staying Positive in a Negative World0

    Larry Stout

    There is an axiom in journalism that says, “if it bleeds, it leads.” I complained about this to one of my English professors in college, and he rebutted that covering a plane crash is news, one that lands safely is not. But given the amount of turmoil over the past four to five months, I

  • The Last Game0

    Scott Lowery

    With the high school basketball season rapidly winding down, South Williamsport’s players sat despondently in a quiet locker room as their hopes for a playoff berth took another hit. Standing before them that Friday evening, the Mountaineers coach, Rob Houseknecht, stood stoically — momentarily silent. When he began to address his team, he spoke in

  • Williamsport Native Was Black Journalistic Pioneer and Champion for Baseball Integration0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    This month, of course, is Black History in which we celebrate the contributions and history of African-Americans. This month is also the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Negro leagues in baseball. One former Williamsporter was a part of that history. Frank Albert “Fay” Young is not a household name, but perhaps this remarkable
