Spring is in full swing, and summer is rapidly approaching! Pop-up showers, along with the occasional thunderstorm and all-day rains, have turned the brown fields into lush green. For weeks now, the tree swallows and bluebirds have been busily flying in and out of their bird boxes as they lay and hatch eggs and begin
Every spring, like a lot of other folks, I find myself scanning the countryside for the newly arriving fawn deer. Most of our adult does in Pennsylvania start giving birth between mid-May and the end of June, with the birthing season peaking around May 30th. I actually spotted my first fawn a couple of weeks
At the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on Thursday, May 22, I thought I was in for a remake of the movie “Rocky II” when Muncy Township supervisor candidate Terri Lauchle returned to follow up on the issues she brought up several weeks ago about the old Lycoming County Mall complex. It led to another back
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
While a great heel will always have its place, who amongst us really wants to be tottering around in high heels during the hazy days of summer? For my money, flat shoes are dominating this season’s warm-weather wardrobe. From barely-there leather sandals to flip-flops to nostalgia-inducing jellies, summer flats can be both comfortable as well as
The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., will kick off the 2025 Summer Learning Program with special activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 14. The Library’s Summer Learning Program is an opportunity to keep children engaged in reading and learning over the summer, whether at home or in the
The Boys of Summer are back at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field. I can’t wait to get up to the ballpark and see my good friends, Rhashan, the Director of Smiles who I promoted to VP of All the Fun, the multi-hat-wearing VP of Marketing and Public Relations, Gabe Sinicropi, who also does
June is all but here, which means it’s time to celebrate one of the fluffiest, sassiest, and most independent companions out there — the humble house cat! Yep, it’s officially Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and there’s no better time to open your heart (and your home) to a furry friend in need. Every year,
For the first time in a little more than 20 years, the Williamsport Crosscutters will seek to defend a league championship they won the previous season when they open their season at State College on June 4. They begin their home schedule on Friday, June 6. The other teams of the MLB Draft League will

Hats off to my friends at the Lycoming Creek Anglers. I give them lots of credit. These guys and gals make our fishing experiences much more splendid. Yes. We have battled some rain and high waters, but this spring has been fantastic. We are so spoiled. I finally snuck out for a few casts. I
Memorial Day has come and gone, and with it, it brought what most folks consider to be the first day of summer. Forget the meteorologists and calendar makers who have decreed that occurrence doesn’t happen until June 20; it’s Memorial Day that signals the beginning of summer fun! Originally known as Decoration Day, the last
One of the most often asked questions I hear is “when is the best time to hunt turkeys?’ The first week of our spring season is preferred by many and there are those who are convinced that the last week of the season is the best time to call in a lonely gobbler. For sure
When you look at the title of this story, you would think I’m talking about some of the lousy, rainy weather we’ve been dealing with this spring, but I’m actually referring to something positive. What I’m actually talking about is the outstanding fishing that can be had during the spring days and particularly for black
Commonly referred to as “Happy Valley,” State College is known for its carefree living and is the home of the Pennsylvania State University. This community of 40,700 has been designated one of the least stressful places to live in the United States by Psychology Today. Even so, State College has a robust economy and unemployment

The service will occur on Sunday, June 8, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. Holly Tagliaferri will accompany the service on the church’s
Personal fragrance comes in many forms and, for my money, is the final touch on any outfit. While I’m a firm believer in having a signature scent, I also think the change of season lends itself to switching out your go-to perfume for a fresh musk to match your warmer-weather looks. Think about it: does
About 160 middle school students recently experienced the promise of careers rooted in science, technology, engineering and math during the second annual STEMFest at Pennsylvania College of Technology. The students — representing schools from Clinton, Lycoming, Northumberland and Tioga counties — engaged in a series of hands-on activities, ranging from concrete science to robotics. Supported
Before I get to my Memorial Day thoughts, I have a quick business item to cover. Recently, I’ve been asked where the Webb Weekly is moving to. See, we are currently going through some sprucing up and looking for a new tenant for the office next door to our Kane Street location. Folks, I guarantee
Memorial Day is often considered the unofficial kick-off to summer. With that, we are once again kicking off our summer giveaway! It’s another year for our Great American Cookout giveaway! As always, we are thrilled to bring you a fabulous giveaway, courtesy of Elery Nau Hardware, Rupert’s and Frosty Beverage. This year, we’re stepping the
This upcoming weekend, we will be observing Memorial Day. It is the weekend that generally ushers in the summer with picnics and other festivities, but many have forgotten Memorial Day’s true meaning. It is important to recall its history and why it exists. According to a website devoted to Memorial Day, there is evidence that
As a ten-year-old Little Leaguer, Peter Sinibaldi dreamed of someday hitting a walk-off home run just like his New York Yankees heroes were doing. Eight years later, his walk-off single gave his South Williamsport high school team a 2-1 win over Sayre, clinching the school’s second consecutive District IV championship. Telling the media after the
I have seen many baseball venues — larger-than-life professional ball fields to stunning Little League complexes. I once waved a Homer Hankie in the Metrodome. A left-handed friend of ours pitched at Memorial. I almost caught a fly ball at Dodgers Stadium. I used to hang out on the bank to catch the games at
I was doing some target shooting the other day, and missing the target is not something we want to have happen. We know what we’re after and what we want to see when target shooting, and surprises are generally not a welcome sight. However, missing the target can sometimes be a welcomed surprise when it
Whether you are lucky enough to have taken your first spring gobbler and wonder how to maximize the use of the meat, or an experienced hunter who is looking for some different ideas as to how to prepare this Great American game bird for the dinner table, let’s look at some recipes that have worked
It was 50 years ago this year that the Vietnam War ended, but for many veterans, the memories of this war are still vivid. One of these veterans, a local man named Joe Grafius (Harry Joseph Grafius), has decided to write down his memories of his experiences of this war in a new memoir he
I enjoy listening to Lycoming County Director of Voter Services, Forrest Lehman, every time he speaks in public. He has a passion for his office, and it is obvious that those who work for him and with him think very highly of their director. When Lehman speaks in public, mostly at the Lycoming County Commissioners
Mother’s Day, celebrated each May during Women’s Health Month, is a great reminder to honor the women who shape our families and communities. But as we pack away the flowers and cards, it’s important to remember that women should prioritize themselves — and specifically their health — beyond just one day a year. From adolescence
There are no miracles or shortcuts when it comes to healthy eating. Fad diets, supplements, meal replacers, superfoods, and metabolism boosters all come and go. At the end of the day, regardless of your fitness, wellness, or beauty goals, nothing can replace cooking for yourself with whole ingredients for the recommended daily doses of vitamins
