Williamsport’s Brandon Park has hosted many baseball games throughout its long history. Driving by the venerable location these days, if one looks closely, it might be possible to spot the immortal bird Phoenix, which is said to obtain new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor. From the park’s northeast corner, a transformation

This year’s student representatives, seniors Cyn-sere Coney, Faye Moore and Muireann Tran, are active in their school community, playing roles in everything from National Art Honor Society to clubs, improv troupes and more. In their role as representatives, the
My plan for this column was that throughout October, there would be only columns dealing with Lycoming County candidates in the November election. I purposely planned it that way so that voters would be informed about the candidates on the ballot. But, I want to make an interruption in this plan because the state of
How often have you heard someone say that they just don’t like the taste of venison or that they have tried it once but just didn’t care for it? No doubt it was not cooked properly, or worse yet, was not handled properly from the beginning. Over the years, I am pleased to say that
I remember when I started hunting deer back in the 60s. If we were able to tag a six or eight-point buck with a 16-inch spread, we were off to the taxidermist to get our “trophy” mounted. A lot has changed since those days, not only regarding the size of our deer racks but how
Just like the way wardrobes cycle through seasons, so do allergies. The worst months for allergy sufferers are typically March through July with pollen, but the fall also has allergy challenges with ragweed and mold. Along with the standard symptoms of sneezing, stuffy nose, runny nose, and cough, allergies can also dramatically impact your skin.
New parents have a lot on their plate. The birth of a child is a special time in the lives of a family. Shortly after the birth of a child, new parents learn how significant a role their child’s pediatrician plays in the early months of the youngster’s life. New parents rely on pediatricians to
I think editor Steph made a great choice for our annual Halloween contest. This year, the kids will be Guessing Ghosts. She has all the details and information on the next page. My favorite part of the kids showing off their counting skills is when the winners come in to pick up the prizes. I
Boys and Girls! Gather ‘round! Step right up and play the game! Everyone has a chance to win a prize! It is time once again for Webb Weekly’s annual Halloween contest! This is one of my favorite Webb Weekly moments of the year! This year, we will take a ghostly turn as we count the
It is that time of year again. The time in which one of the most anticipated events that takes place in this area, particularly the Endless Mountains area, happens. It celebrates the beauty of the autumn canopy of leaves that appear throughout the region and locally and throughout the rest of the state as well
It was a private ceremony without any witnesses. In the approaching twilight of October’s first day, the annual ritual was carried out with the solemn resolve that the MLB season had concluded in much the same manner as recent seasons. As an ardent and all too often suffering fan of the Boston Red Sox and
Big box retailers are ubiquitous. The appeal of such stores’ extensive inventory is undeniable, and consumers like the comfort of knowing they can stop into a big box store anywhere on the map and feel a sense of familiarity with their surroundings. Despite that feeling of familiarity, consumers who shop exclusively at big box retailers
The circle of life is hard. I no longer subscribe, but I will occasionally look at the obits. Yes. It is tough. My lovely bride always tells me that I should find some friends closer to my age. This past year was rough. We lost so many good chums. Most I knew from golf. I
Moving into the early fall period can be a real dilemma for people like me who love hunting and fishing. Hunting seasons are underway, and some great fishing can still be available. Case in point: I was talking with an avid trout angler recently, and he told me a few weeks back he picked up
If there is one prevailing aspect of today’s political climate, it is hate. And hate has no boundaries, so even a simple forum of four potential county commissioners could have turned into a shouting match. Instead, the program that took place on Tuesday, October 3rd, at the Eagle Grange #1 in Montgomery was more like
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) was first noted in 1967 in research on mule deer herds in Colorado. By the late 1970s, it was recognized in captive facilities in Colorado and Wyoming in mule deer, black-tailed deer, and elk. In 1981, the disease was first identified in the wild in elk in Colorado, followed by mule
For most filmgoers, the name Michael Green probably doesn’t ring a bell — but I’ve had my eye on him since 2049. Um — Blade Runner 2049, to be precise. Green penned the ingenious screenplay for that 2017 title, creating a sequel almost as good as its groundbreaking predecessor. That same year, he also wielded
Trends come and go, and with each new season, there’s a new “it” item, be it shoes, handbags, or even hem-lengths. And if you’re a fall fashion fan, as I am, you may be overwhelmed when trying to incorporate all of the exciting up-and-coming trends for the season. Usually, I find it best to pick

In recent years, many a motorist has noticed how much more glare they encounter on the road at night than they used to. The headlights that are now standard in many vehicles can be a catch-22. Drivers of vehicles equipped with LED lights often find the road in front of them is much more illuminated
Are you nervous to sneeze or laugh too hard? Have you stopped running, jumping, or other certain physical movements because you fear leaking? You are not alone. Urinary incontinence affects about 50% of adult women and up to 10% of adult men, with percentages increasing with age. Other symptoms of pelvic floor disorders including bladder
Anytime you’ve been to an event at the Community Arts Center, you have undoubtedly seen a Community Arts Center Volunteer Corps member. They greet you at the door, scan your tickets, and help you to your seat at nearly every event at the CAC. Every year, the Volunteer Corps donates thousands of hours to ensure
As I fell asleep the night before my press deadline, I was thinking about how to begin my article. Should I find a positive, common-sense approach, or should I just go with the biting — sorry if you don’t like it; that’s the way it works. Fortunately for me, Mother Nature and my 4-legged feline
The theme for this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month is More Than Awareness. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, “For the 31 days of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), pink ribbons appear as the impact of breast cancer is brought to the forefront of national conversation. But we know that to help those facing
There is a lot of commotion about changing the date of the Pennsylvania Primary next Spring, but we should not have eyes on 2024 until we get through the election of 2023. Director of Voter Services Forrest Lehman really hates the term “off-year election” because every election is important in its own right and should

While recently reading a Pennsylvania Game News magazine, I came across some interesting information regarding black bear hunting in Pennsylvania. I have gotten a bear license for many years in our state, but the fact is I have never taken a bear in Pennsylvania. Even though I’ve seen a couple, I was unable to get
The James V. Brown Library is not just a place for books; it is also a rich repository of things dealing with public services, local history, and reference.
