By Lou Hunsinger Jr Preservation Williamsport is an organization that helps to preserve the precious historical legacy of the historic Victorian architecture throughout Williamsport.

Many of the hackers and duffers from all over the globe just tuned in for the very first major. I don’t know about you, but I find myself completely glued to the television the first weekend in April. Instead of fishing or shoveling the spring snow, I usually lock myself in the basement with a
As all those taxpayers’ envelopes have been dropped in the mail on the way to fund Uncle Sam’s coffers, I extend my belated congratulations to the Loyalsock Lady Lancers on their well-earned run to the PIAA AAA state championship. The team’s historic triumph is a testament to the dividends that can be accrued via hard
A few decades ago, it was posited that when the economy is hit hard, lipstick sales go up. This theory of the lipstick effect doesn’t have much hard data to support it, but I’d venture to say when faced with hardships, economic or otherwise, I understand the need for a great lipstick. Splurging a bit
The smiles on the faces of the Loyalsock Lady Lancers as they take a bite out of the gold medal says it all.

For a person such as myself who tries to follow what is happening in the Oval Office, the Trump Administration is very hard to keep up with. However, I can finally highlight an executive order that I think is at least a century or more overdue — the establishment of English as the official language
Your Webb critic has two favorite actresses. One — though she’s really before my time — is Golden Age golden-girl Myrna Loy. For years America’s favorite wife, Loy starred in the marvelous Thin Man movies, and was partly responsible for the bullet-riddled end of John Dillinger’s criminal career. (Look it up!) My other fave is
Pennsylvania is home to a number of hawks as well as some falcons, and like a lot of others, I’m always trying to identify which one of them I’m looking at. Be aware that there are some differences between a hawk and a falcon. For starters, falcons are typically smaller and faster than hawks, while
The tick of greatest concern in our area is the black-legged tick — often referred to as the “deer tick.” They do not exclusively feed upon deer but instead prefer to attach to small mammals such as mice and chipmunks and occasionally birds.

It might not compare with the annual swallows return to Capistrano, which occurred March 19, just two days before the Mounties returned to Myrtle Beach, but the South Williamsport softball team’s return to the Grand Strand Tournament was made to prepare them for the demanding schedule awaiting them in the 2025 season.

April showers bring May flowers, as well as a myriad of skincare challenges as we transition from cold, dry air to kind of cold but more humid weather.
