    This Week’s LION: Anne Reiner, Millennial Media Entrepreneur0

    Larry Stout

    How do most folks in Lycoming County get information about their region? The local daily newspaper has been suffering a shrinking readership and subscriptions for some time now. Newspaper circulars in restaurants and grocery stores have some local items, generally revolved around school activities, sporting events, or award presentations. Webb Weekly has a unique niche

  • Williamsport’s Susan Durrwachter Works As Producer For CNN0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    When Susan Durrwachter was growing up here in Williamsport, she could have scarcely imagined that one day she would be rubbing elbows with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Donald Trump, Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, the Jacksons, Matt Damon, and several four and five-star generals. She was able to do this as

  • County Hall Corner: Election Aftermath0

    Larry Stout

    The general election of 2019 was unusual for several reasons. There was a new voting process involving paper ballots instead of voting machines. There was an incumbent Lycoming County commissioner and incumbent Williamsport mayor, both running write-in campaigns. And there was a life-long Republican whose ballot petition was contested by another Republican for the office

  • Many Can’t Handle the Truth, Can You?1

    Jim Webb

    There is something for all of us to dislike in President Donald Trump. That’s just who he is, and he’s never going to change. It is probably his greatest strength as a leader but could be his kryptonite as far as winning a second term in the Oval Office. I have written on at least

    This Week’s LION: Overachiever Jacob Stopper0

    Larry Stout

    In covering various candidates for the upcoming election, I discovered that both Scott Metzger, running for Lycoming County Commissioner, and Eric Beiter, running for Williamsport city mayor, have the same campaign manager. His name is Jacob Stopper from Loyalsock Township. It takes an exceptional person to manage two high-profile campaigns such as this, and he

    Before I get started on my main topics of discussion, just a reminder to all our hunters out there. If you’re lucky enough to tag that big buck you’ve been watching all summer, make sure you enter our Uncle Ron’s Monster Buck Contest. Webb Weekly’s very own Ron Mingle will be back to oversee the contest even

  • Hall of Famer Mike Mussina “Consistently Consistent”0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    An article on the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s website describes Montoursville’s Mike Mussina in a Yogi Berra-esque manner as “Consistently Consistent.” I can think of no better way to describe Mussina and his baseball career even going back to his Montoursville Little League and high school days. There is another sports expression

    This Week’s LION Kaleb Daniels: Intern Extraordinaire2

    Larry Stout

    The comic strip “Dilbert” mocks the contemporary business office. There is a character by the name of Asok, who is a brilliant young intern whose wisdom is not appreciated, and thus ends up doing the most menial of tasks. (Example: “Hey, my staple remover is broken. Somebody toss that intern to me.”) Scott Adams, the

  • This Week’s LION: Ex-Congressman Tom Marino0

    Larry Stout

    When Tom Marino was elected for his fifth term of office for the U.S. House of Representatives, he was confident it would be his last campaign. What Tom did not expect was a life-threatening illness the first week of January of this year that almost cost him his life. It was a terribly difficult decision,

  • Socialism is a Declaration of War Against the United States of America1

    Jim Webb

    For all you far-to-the-left, beyond-liberal socialites, I’m even going to provide you a disclaimer with this week’s column, please do not read beyond this point. The information is impossible for you to understand, let alone accept, and your head might explode. For you far-to-the-left, mainstream-media makers and reporters of what is supposed to be the

  • County Hall Corner: Good Job and Goodbye0

    Larry Stout

    It is sometimes a tedious task to cover the Lycoming County Commissioner’s Meetings, but Thursday, June 13th was not one of those times. In fact, to be honest, I personally was never more proud of my county than I was through that meeting. It began with a presentation of Job Well Done pins awarded to

  • Trump Visit Brings To Mind Previous Presidential Visits To Williamsport0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Last week’s rapturous reception to the visit to the Williamsport area of President Donald J. Trump evokes memories of previous Presidential visits, though none probably matched the enthusiastic reception that Trump received here. Williamsport has always been the most important crossroads community of Northcentral Pennsylvania. This strategic position has yielded many visits by important and

  • County Hall Corner: Reflections on the Election0

    Larry Stout

    The primary/special election of 2019 is over, and it was quite memorable. Here are some observations from my perspective: Tremendous Turnout: In the 2007, 2011, and 2015 primary elections, the voter percentage was the same, 28%. But last Tuesday, 42% of the voters turned out. This is especially surprising because throughout the state the voter

    A happy belated Mother’s Day to all of you moms. My lovely childbearing parent flew in from California to celebrate. It turned out to be a splendid weekend, but GG had a few issues with her inbound connection. We ended up driving to Wilkes-Barre just to save her, and that is why I missed my

  • Tums or Rolaids Won’t Fix This Gas Problem.0

    Jim Webb

    I cover a lot of ground in my travels around the Keystone State. One thing that has always been frustrating is the poor condition of our highways. It amazes me how I can leave Pennsylvania on a washboard, potholed covered highway and drive into an adjacent state that the road is as smooth as glass.

    Family Features

    Tradition plays an important role in Easter celebrations for many families. Cherished traditions and symbols of Easter may include anything from egg hunts to lilies to lambs. Understanding the importance behind these symbols can make sharing the miracle of Easter that much more special. Eggs Eggs are one of the more recognizable symbols of Easter.

  • I’m Tired of Watching Elected Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous1

    Jim Webb

    I’m not going to waste my words on the Mueller Report and Russia. It needs to be put in the rearview mirror. Nor on the despicable Jussie Smollett and the Cooke County DA’s Office. That has the fingerprints of former President Barack Obama all over it. I want to try to stay positive and approach

  • Style Mistakes to Avoid Over 400

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    We’ve all had those moments when looking at photos from our younger days and cringing at our style mistakes —looking at you, stirrup pants. Bad fashion in your teens and twenties can be excused by the follies of youth. However, as we get older and wiser, hopefully we have fewer cringe-inducing fashion fails. Of course,

  • Coming to America, No Trojan Horse Required0

    Jim Webb

    The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about immigration and our Country is the welcoming Lady of Freedom, the Statue of Liberty. I imagine my Italian ancestors as they approached Ellis Island, and that brightly glowing torch extending toward heaven welcomed them. The relief and joy they must have felt after

  • A Super Bowl for the Uncompromising1

    Jim Webb

    One thing you can count on with the Super Bowl is that there will be a winner decided. In the event of a tie after four quarters, they will go to the old NFL format of sudden death to declare the winner — simply play until somebody wins. I think this system should be adopted

    Happy New Year! I just can’t even fathom that it is the year 2019. Where have the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s gone? Not to mention, we’re working our way towards 2020. If you are around my age or older, tell me that doesn’t sound like a science fiction movie? One thing is for

  • 14-Year-Old Local Bassist Gabriel Severn Releases Award-Winning Debut Music Recorded with World Class Musicians0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The year 2018 was a big year for one youthful musician from Loyalsock Township, 14-year old Gabriel Severn, who might be regarded as somewhat of a prodigy on the electric bass. His musical journey is comparable to an artist at least twice his age. In the past year alone, Gabriel has won multiple awards, performed

    We are so truly blessed to live in the greatest Country in the world. Like I always say, there’s a reason everybody is fighting to get in, and no one is choosing to leave. Although some Hollywood elitists do make the idle threat of leaving our Country, they never do. However, they may change their

    I had every intention of writing a great piece, but then I ran into a few distractions. I did the best I could to find something fast, but nothing came to mind. Politics man. I am extremely thankful that the midterm elections are over. And perhaps life will even get back to normal. I have

    There’s just no easing into this cesspool, so I may as well jump right in.
