Lycoming County government will be less active in the next couple of weeks, just as many other organizations in our community will be in full swing because of an annual event that literally put Williamsport on the map — the Little League World Series. It is often easy to take for granted something that is
For several years, on a nearby property, I have been observing an increasing spread of milkweeds and goldenrods in fields that have been placed in the CREP Program. Some songbirds nest in these fields, deer will occasionally feed through them in search of certain plants that they like, and rodents, such as mice and moles,
I suspect some people are looking at the title of this story and thinking, “You don’t have to tell me it’s snake season; I already know that they are in my yard!” I’ll admit that I’ve always been intrigued by snakes. As a young kid growing up, I loved to go out and catch snakes
Even though returning to school is on the horizon and the end of summer is calling, the days are still humid and hot. And we are probably looking at a warm and sticky fall. In years past, you may have been preparing to pack up your linen items by late August, but linen is no

TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, it is important that you streamline your workflow this week; otherwise, you may not
Well, it’s hard to believe July is in the rearview mirror. August on the calendar in the West Branch Valley goes hand-in-hand with baseball, football, and back to school. The back-to-school thing still makes me cringe, even though I haven’t been a student in decades. This, of course, was coupled with the fact that two-a-day
Listen, you don’t like it. I don’t like it. The kids certainly don’t like it. But as much as we try to slow it down, the calendar continues to move forward and back to school is right around the corner. What I also don’t like is waiting until the last minute to do things. A
A new start time and a slightly shorter parade route are among the changes to the always highly anticipated Annual Grand Slam Parade on Tuesday, August 13. Instead of the parade beginning at 5:30 p.m., it will begin at 5 p.m., and instead of the parade starting at Susquehanna Street and West Fourth Street, it
I’m guessing that the two most popular species being hunted in Pennsylvania are white-tailed deer, and likely, turkeys are next in line. As we begin to move towards fall, a lot of talks with my hunting friends involve questions about deer antler sightings and how many young turkeys and gobblers we are seeing. I’ll be
Jam-packed calendars and little spare time at home can make heads spin. When those hectic weeknights are giving your family fits, turn to delicious recipes you can have ready in 30 minutes or less.

We all know it’s not a good idea to procrastinate. In fact, there are rarely any occasions when it is a good idea to wait until the very last minute to do what you know simply has to be done. The benefits of accomplishing tasks early far outweigh any poor excuses for delaying the tasks
It seems like just yesterday people were heralding the arrival of summer. After many months of fickle weather, summer’s warm temperatures and ample sunshine can be that hug from Mother Nature people need. But soon summer will be coming to an end, making room for apples, corn and pumpkin spice. Even though summer will soon
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 Aries, keep moving forward when you find yourself in a tough situation. It’s best not to linger, but to find a path forward. Wait for the dust to settle before getting involved. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, you have a tendency to go overboard at times. Perhaps take a
This week’s headline is partly a reference to one of Donald Sutherland’s finest performances. But it’s also an admission that your Webb Weekly critic is tardy in honoring that distinguished actor, who passed away in June at the age of 88. Yet maybe late accolades are fitting for Sutherland; despite a six-decade resume covering 150
August 5th began the PIAA heat acclimatization process for high school football programs across the state, with the first official day of practice set for next Monday. While players and coaches prepare for the upcoming season under the August sun, area athletic directors working in more comfortable indoor surroundings also feel the heat. Unlike the
Hot, hazy, and humid weather can do a number on your hair. Frizz happens when the cuticle of the hair lifts up. This is the hair strand’s outer layer, like scales on a fish that lap over each other. If your cuticles are undamaged, your hair will be shiny and frizz-free. Of course, hair can

Imagine this scenario. Your cell phone rings, and you will see that the caller ID shows “Lycoming County Sheriff’s Office.” You assume this is important and answer the call. The caller tells you that they are from the Sheriff’s Office, that you have a violation, and that there is a warrant for your arrest. As

As a fan of the original Twister, your Webb critic is thrilled to report that the brand-new sequel does exactly what it has to. Currently No. 1 in theaters, Twisters does not share any personnel — either behind the camera, or in front — with its hugely entertaining predecessor. Happily, it does share the other
Your Habitat Management Plan should include an inventory of current desirable and undesirable trees, shrubs, and vines on your property.

Regular eye examinations are important components of a personal health regimen.

The weather conditions have made fishing trips a little more challenging lately — hot sunny days often followed up with stormy and windy conditions. Not only can such conditions make sitting in a boat on a lake all day harder to endure, but hot, sunny days can decrease fish activity, and high winds can make
