Consider the philosophy that politics are framed around. In general, Republicans identify themselves as conservative and Democrats as progressive. It certainly seems that ‘progress’ itself is inevitable in society’s development, which is why the wind always seems to be in the sails of the Democratic Party. To be sure, the past has not been fair

By Steph Nordstrom I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Webb Weekly writer Jeff Federowicz. Jeff had been a longtime writer with us, and he will be missed. Jeff had a quirky sense of humor that you could definitely see when you read his stories. He had written for us for well
I love this time of year as North Central PA is on fire. Change is in the air. Everything is shining. Autumn brings us so many vibrant colors. The Visitors Bureau needs to give me a buzz. Our new addition has got me stressed. I wish there were more hours in the day. Sadly, there
Historical records do not indicate the amount of pre-match interest or community chatter that may have existed in the days leading up to the Biblical confrontation between David & Goliath, but Friday night’s match-up between Class A Canton and AAAA powerhouse Jersey Shore has been the talk of the town among area football fans in
With the recent wet weather and the cloudy days ahead, I’ve been thinking about how best to dress for the rain with a fashionable nod toward fall style. In my mind, wet autumn weather doesn’t mean slacking in style. In fact, I see it as a fashion challenge to look great and stay dry. Plus

Pennsylvania isn’t offering a bear hunting season in 2022. As was the case last year, it’s essentially offering three. Properly licensed hunters can take black bears in multiple ways — with bows, muzzleloaders and, in cases, even rifles — in what can be considered the early bear season. That includes the archery bear season, which
I know it’s fall, and that means hunting seasons are in full swing, but a lot of us diehard fishermen aren’t quite ready to give up our fishing endeavors just yet. There’s a good reason we’re not ready to hang up our fishing rods since there are still some great fishing opportunities available through the
Archery hunters have already been taking deer in these early weeks of the season, and soon rifle hunters will join the ranks of those who look forward each year to hunting whitetails and having great-tasting venison for nutritious meals. The recent stretch of cool weather has helped ensure that there is much less chance of
Though a very common injury for athletes, ankle injuries can happen to anyone at any time. Hiking down your favorite local trail, walking down the stairs with a loaded laundry basket, or mowing the grass in the backyard and stepping into that ditch you’ve been meaning to fill in — it can happen to anyone.
Park Place, the former Park Home and, before that, the former Park Hotel, is one of Williamsport’s most venerable architectural artifices; so, it seems only natural that it should help host a spooky fundraiser, “Boo on the Porch” to be held Friday, October 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. This fundraiser helps to fund an
Wow, one of my favorite covers of the year, and this particular one has been that way for the last three years — the tradition of the South Williamsport Mummers’ Parade in celebrating its 75th marching. As I have mentioned in the past, I grew up on the top of Kane Street on the South

It has been three years since the last South Williamsport Mummers’ Parade was held. It was interrupted first by the COVID pandemic in 2020 and then a deluge of rain in 2021. But this year, it is back bigger and better than ever. According to Dori Rankinen, one of the parade organizers, they have added
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
Summer and fall can stake their claim as road trip season, and even devoted drivers may admit that winter is generally a less desirable time to take to the open road. The elements factor heavily into that reputation, as fewer hours of daylight, snow and ice are just some of the variables that can make
I am very thankful for all of my part-time gigs. It gives me the opportunity to come in contact with so many great kids. Whether it’s coaching, broadcasting, or writing a note — I have made several new friends. This week’s column features a young man I have known for quite some time. I went
Modern vehicles utilize various technologies to ensure drivers remain as safe as possible behind the wheel. Technology also can alert drivers when their cars are in need of examination, and such is the case when the often dreaded “check engine” light comes on. While a check engine indicator is seldom good news, it may not
Developing financial knowledge and effective money management habits are important steppingstones for teenagers to become financially stable adults who aspire to build assets and achieve personal goals. For example, most teens (88%) would like to own a home someday, according to a survey conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of Junior Achievement USA and Fannie
After a relentlessly hot and muggy summer, who isn’t welcoming these cooler days of autumn with open arms? But with cozy evenings, sweaters, foliage, and pumpkins, fall can also bring a host of potential skin problems. The combination of chillier weather and central heating can make your skin dry, tight, and sensitive. The lotions and

From wearables to virtual reality headsets and beyond, the latest tech-enabled devices let families enhance classroom experiences while engaging in downtime together after the final school bell rings. First Work Then Play A practical choice, the
We are rapidly approaching the second week of the initial Pennsylvania statewide archery season, which runs until November 18 this year. Additional archery, muzzleloader, special firearms, regular firearms, flintlock, and extended firearms seasons throughout the state give hunters ample opportunities to “bring home the venison” this year. Along the way, there are several important steps
With the archery season well underway, it’s a pretty safe bet there are a good number of treestands that are occupied by archery enthusiasts, and for good reason — it’s a proven approach for taking a deer, especially with a bow. Archery hunting from the more permanent type of ladder stands or climbing treestands offer
As you grow older, you may find that your knees are starting to hurt. While joint pain is not uncommon, it can begin to interfere with one’s quality of life if the knee pain continues to progress. If left untreated, it may result in the need for a knee replacement surgery. Having any type of
Agriculture is one of the most important components of Pennsylvania’s and, in particular, Lycoming County’s economy. Unfortunately, the number of those farming is diminishing across the state. As a reminder of the importance of agriculture to our local economy and our way of life, Ben Hepburn, a retired agriculture teacher at Montoursville High School, started
Frost on the pumpkins, a cool nip in the air, and the mountains getting dressed in their finest shades of crimson red, golden yellow, and vibrant orange means it’s that time of year. Time for Christmas! The jumpstart on Christmas began two weeks after Labor Day when Santa left cases of Christmas sweets at local
Vehicle engines include complex parts that work in concert to ensure that the car functions properly. When servicing their cars and trucks, vehicle owners may look to many parts of the engine yet overlook a relatively mundane, albeit important, component: the air filter. All cars come equipped with air filters, which are essential to optimum
Ten years ago, I was investigating joint municipal police forces as a township supervisor and went to Jersey Shore hoping to get some information. I met Joe Hamm, who was the borough manager and hoped to catch fifteen minutes of his time. Joe spent over an hour answering questions for no reason other than wanting
Any number of issues can affect drivers while on the road. Few issues may prove more disruptive than a flat tire. Flat tires can delay road trips and adversely affect commutes, all the while posing a significant safety hazard. Changing a flat tire is a valuable skill that all drivers should have in their repertoire,
I’m going to begin this week with a topic that we must all find the positivity in, the United States of America Senate race between Governor Wolf’s former Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman and TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz. For those of you waiting for some of my journalistic thoughts about the White House, the Wolf
Early detection is key. We’ve all heard this over and over regarding cancer, but in particular breast cancer. The theme for this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month is RISE – Rally In Screening Everyone. “This year we RISE to ensure every woman has access to the screenings she needs and the support she deserves.” In
The brutal battle of the Ardennes Forest took place more than 80 years ago during World War II; there aren’t many men still alive who fought and served during those freezing weeks late in 1944. But one of them will conduct a concert at the Community Arts Center on Oct. 9. Still active at the
