    It was great talking with so many of you about my first column of the new year, “Let’s call it 2024.” Just a reminder, if you missed any of the past issues of Webb Weekly, they can be found archived at webbweekly.com. I should also mention for people outside of our distribution area or who

  • County Hall Corner: What are We in for in 2024?0

    Larry Stout

    We still have a month left in 2023, but the upcoming year may be one of this century’s most important years, and we need to get ready. The United States has never been more divided than it is right now. Given that even antisemitism is publicly displayed, and in the spirit of ‘diversity’ considered acceptable

  • PNC Real Estate0

    Scott Lowery

    In the real estate world, other than ‘sale is final,’ ‘location, location, location’ seems to be the magic words. Where, as opposed to what is often the sought-after trump card. In the baseball world, the long-suffering fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates are a prime example of the location conundrum. Its physical property, PNC Park at

  • We Are in a Battle for the Soul of America0

    Jim Webb

    I have waited to write this article until President Joe Biden officially announced his intention regarding the 2024 election. Last Tuesday, he did just that, releasing a video asking the American people for more time to “finish this job.” Before I get started, I want to clarify that I would be writing the same words

    Paul Petcavage

    I am now 68 years old. I was born in 1954 to Jean and Albert Petcavage, and to the best of my knowledge, my parents did not believe in middle names, so I was named at birth, or at least I thought I was until recently, just Paul Petcavage. I did eventually obtain a confirmation

    I am thankful to be at Lycoming. This is my second stint as the Warrior’s Golf Coach. I took a five-year hiatus after my mid-life crisis. I was with the team from 2001 to 2015. I stepped away to focus on other side hustles. They were extremely fun while they lasted. I got the call

  • County Hall Corner: History in the Making0

    Larry Stout

    In the March 1st issue of Webb Weekly, I wrote an article referencing a quote from Henry Ford, “Sorry, Henry, History is Not Bunk.” I used a poll of the “greatest athlete of all time” to prove how weak our country has become in understanding our history. To quote myself, “History is not ours to

  • Our Favorite Things: Repasz Band’s Spring Concert0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    For Williamsport’s popular Repasz Band, the well-known phrase “They’re playing our song” might be revised to say, “We’re playing our song” — because every concert ends with the ensemble’s signature “Repasz Band March.” But the “our song” theme is especially apt for this year’s spring concert, which features a program of personal favorites from the

    I’ve mentioned before that I am one of North Central PA’s biggest fans. It’s true. Seriously folks. What’s not to love about the 570? This place is just splendid. Our beautiful area is the perfect backdrop for an outdoor enthusiast like me. Yes. I absolutely dig everything about her, and I am still patiently waiting

  • March 29 is Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The men and women who fought and died in the Vietnam War are probably the most underappreciated and underrecognized of American veterans. Largely because they were involved in the most controversial war in American history. In a bid to reverse the injustice done to these veterans, a Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day was established. Vietnam Veteran

  • Praising the Baton: In Memory of Al Nacinovich0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    The world of local music lost a great friend and leader last month. Albert J. Nacinovich, beloved music teacher and long-time director of Williamsport’s Repasz Band, passed away peacefully on Feb. 18. He is survived by two daughters, two granddaughters, a great-granddaughter and his wife of 62 years, Alice. Now nearing its 200th anniversary, the

    My wife and I are elected representatives for the Republican Party in Clinton Township, and in that capacity, we get invited to several events.

    “Thanksgiving is a time for families and friends to gather together and express gratitude for all that we have been given, the freedoms we enjoy, and the loved ones who enrich our lives.

  • County Hall Corner: The Hunt for Red November0

    Larry Stout

    Harry Truman held up the famous November 3, 1948 headline on the Chicago Daily Tribune, which stated, “Dewey Defeats Truman,” with a big smile on his face. Last week’s midterm elections might be remembered similarly. The pollsters were unanimous in their assurance that the Republicans would easily control the House of Representatives and, most probably,

    Jim Webb

    As we approach what I believe is the most important midterm election in American history, I want to first give you a prediction if things don’t go the way of the Democratic Party and the current presidential administration. There was a time not that long ago that Democratic leader Chuck Schumer investigated the use of

    It was a normal football Friday night as I took my spot in the press box for another game of statistical coverage. What wasn’t normal was the operator of the game film camera standing next to me. The young man behind the camera was a member of the school’s football team. Inquiring as to why

    2022 is known as a midterm election year. Midterm elections are quite different from any other because they include a wide variety of political races — local offices, of course, as well as races for state offices and US Representative and Senate seats. This vast field results in the national media featuring a race here

  • Coup Crap0

    Larry Stout

    At first, I was amused by the US Congress January 6 Committee created to investigate the coup/insurrection that took place on that day in 2021, as a group of zealots stormed the hallowed chambers of our US Congresspeople for the purpose of preventing the certification of the 2020 presidential election. First, this is no ‘investigation’

    I was never exposed to fly fishing growing up. Sure, I tried it several times, but the purist ideology never stuck. It can be extremely frustrating, and I have zero confidence. I quit fifteen times and went back to my spinning rods. But COVID changed everything. I started with YouTube and made a few calls.

    Step aside New Hampshire and Iowa; your days of hogging up all the electoral oxygen in the country may be seeing an end. Pennsylvania has become the true battlefield state in the country.

    Some time back, the best political discussions were not on television or Facebook but at the local neighborhood barbershop. As a youngster, I found the discussions intense but also insightful. Imagine a scenario today with an old traditional barbershop featuring Joe the Barber, and three of his faithful clients, Tom, Dick, and Harry, who all

    I couldn’t believe that a former president, and I’m talking Donald Trump, not Barack Obama, endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz for a senatorial spot here in the great state of Pennsylvania. I’d really like to know the behind-the-scenes truth about that one. But hey, if he’s your man, get out and cast your vote. That is

    Candidate Joe Biden did not make very many public appearances when he was running for the presidency, but during one of these appearances in July of 2020, he made a strange remark, even by Biden standards. He announced, “Milton Friedman isn’t running the show anymore.” This comment flew over almost everyone’s head, but looking back

    It is very difficult to keep up with all the controversies that are flying around concerning the government these days — especially at the federal level. None seems to be more challenging than the immigration issue. This is not referring to illegal (or the politically correct word, ‘undocumented’) immigrants, but those who are actually filing
