Send Help is a new thriller about two people stranded on an island. Since it opened after this article was written, I haven’t seen it — though I suspect it’s too bloody for some of our “family-friendly” readers. (After all, director Sam Raimi — whose resume includes several Spider-Man movies and the sadly neglected Simple
The January 22, 2026, Lycoming County Commissioners meeting opened with the kind of recognition that reminds us why local government works best when it celebrates the people who make everything possible. Cameron Boyer received a well-deserved service award for completing ten years of dedicated work that began in maintenance. At the same time, he attended
As January ended, many people who participated in Dry January began to consider returning to their usual drinking habits. This pause from alcohol often highlights how closely drinking habits are tied to heart and vascular health. While Dry January is commonly viewed as a short-term reset after the holidays, extending it or significantly reducing alcohol
A harbinger of warmer times and weather ahead was held two weeks ago when the Williamsport Crosscutters held their annual Hot Stove League Dinner at the Genetti Hotel. The event featured speakers reflective of our National Pastime, baseball, including former Phillies pitcher and present-day commentator Rickey Bottalico, former Williamsport Crosscutters and Phillies player and 2013
The Pennsylvania Board of Commissioners met on Tuesday, January 24, and has given preliminary approval to the 2026-27 Seasons and Bag limits. Final approval will occur at the April 10 & 11 meeting. For now, the following information might help you plan out your hunting in Pennsylvania for this fall through next spring. First, a
As I was preparing to pen this article this past Friday, the snow apocalypse was on its way. All week, I had heard how the worst snowstorm ever was closing in on our Nation, especially our area. By the time you’re reading this, you’ll know the answer to the question: How much snow did we
January is one of my least favorite months of the year. It’s cold, it’s gray, and it somehow feels like it lasts approximately 100 days. But before we finally kick this month to the curb, there is something important worth talking about: January is National Blood Donor Month. According to the American Red Cross, National
I want to start by thanking The Liberty Group, where I work, for nominating me for Leadership Lycoming. It was truly an honor to be nominated, and after going through the interview process, I was even more appreciative to be selected. I don’t take that opportunity lightly. The Leadership Lycoming program is something special, and
A “lucky hunting hat” has evolved into a unique fundraising program to help bring warmth and heat to those less fortunate. The program is called “Hats for Heat,” and it was the brainchild of Vince Reeder and Echo Mitchell. Vince posted an image of his “lucky hat” online, and the interest from people who saw
As the Indiana Hoosiers were close to completing their meteor-like rise to the NCAA football National Championship, coach Curt Cignetti responded to a reporter’s question, answering, “This would make a good movie!” While that could indeed become a reality, trying to sell such an outlandish movie script to Hollywood before Cignetti’s arrival in Bloomington two
ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 You are unstoppable this week, Aries. Your famous pioneering spirit is magnified, giving you the green light for major breakthroughs. Take the lead in situations that excite you. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 Prepare for a week of unexpected results, Taurus. A significant financial opportunity may appear out of the
Special thanks to my friends from the Williamsport Crosscutters. I was in the crowd for the 18th annual Hot Stove Banquet. It was a rather festive evening. A well-organized event. Great food and camaraderie. Tons of raffles, door prizes, and auctions. $10,000 went to the United Way. The Genetti was packed. Gabe Sinicropi is the
The Beatles captured something timeless in “Penny Lane” when they sang about a place where “all the people that come and go stop and say hello.” That same spirit of community connection filled the January 15th Lycoming County Commissioners meeting, where difficult decisions about limited resources revealed how neighbors must support neighbors when government funding
Wearing stylish outfits can be tricky in the winter, what with the unpredictable-to-downright-nasty weather, the necessity of function over fashion, and the general malaise of the season. However, by adding a specific accessory or incorporating a few styling tricks, you can go from just wearing clothes to walking out the door in a finished look,
Winter doesn’t just bring snowflakes and shorter days, it ushers in a noticeable spike in colds, flu, RSV, COVID-19, and other respiratory infections. It’s a pattern we see year after year, and it’s not your imagination: winter really is the perfect storm for illness. It’s important you understand why and what you can do to
Where do snakes go in the winter? No doubt that’s a question that’s been very heavy on people’s minds lately. OK, so it hasn’t been something you have given a lot of thought to lately, but what brought it to my mind was when someone told me that during that brief warm, rainy spell we
First, there are the snowbirds. You know them, the ones who abandon our state and head south for the winter. And then there is you and me. The brave ones, who buckle up, hunker down, batten down the hatches, and grit their teeth in defiance as the winter weather descends upon us, bringing the Arctic
Another rifle deer season is in the books. And if you haven’t tagged a deer yet, there’s still the late archery and flintlock seasons to look forward to. For those who were fortunate enough to fill a tag, the question naturally becomes: How do you want to remember the hunt? Maybe you’ve got a fresh
After sharing some thoughts and a picture of my father and me with you last week, I felt it was only fitting that my son share his words about the amazing blessing that both the Webb and Raemore families were awaiting. I’ll catch up with you next week. ~ Jim Webb Jr. now officially Papa
Winter has a sneaky way of trapping kids indoors with way too much energy and not nearly enough space to use it. When snow days, icy sidewalks, or winter germs keep families inside, boredom can strike fast. The good news? With a little creativity (and very little prep), indoor time can turn into some of
Hot on the heels of the highly successful 25th Anniversary Celebration, the Uptown Music Collective will return to the Journey Bank Community Arts Center stage for its first major performance of 2026. “Back to the Garage: Songs That Rocked the 2000s” — a one-night-only concert — is set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, January 24. The
Last year’s color of the year from Pantone was “Mocha Mousse,” aka a light, soft brown. At the time, I noted that it was hard to get excited about such a muted tone. 2026’s Pantone color of the year presents even more of a challenge for which to muster enthusiasm. This year’s color is entitled
Hope you all enjoyed a fantastic New Year’s with family and friends, as we welcome 2026 with gratitude for the extraordinary people who make our community safer every single day. The January 8th Lycoming County Commissioners meeting began with something rare in government chambers: a celebration of genuine heroism that unfolded twice within weeks at
As winter begins to tighten its grip on our daily activities with below-freezing temperatures, staying indoors seems like an increasingly good option. It is a good time to light a fire in the fireplace, pour your favorite beverage, and spend a few hours with a good book! Here, then, are two suggestions for a winter
The opening of our trout season is still over a couple of months away. In the meantime, the Fish and Boat Commission has been looking into some changes regarding trout that an angler can keep. At present, our trout season opens on April 4th and goes until September 7th. During that period, an angler may
As the winter scholastic sports regular season enters its final phase, it’s also the banquet circuit’s time for fall sports as schools pause to break bread together, look back at completed seasons, and thank those who played the game and supported the various programs. Recent attendance at one such event, the South Williamsport football gathering,
Dave Heaps from Montoursville asked if I would give a short presentation. I said yes before I got any of the details. I never shy away from a crowd. A part-time mobile freelancer only gets the call when someone bails. I have done this before, but I am still a novice. I love these opportunities.
Last week’s column had a lot of folks commenting they couldn’t believe it’s our 24th year. Many would then share a thought about my Father. Some asked, just how the Webb Weekly began? So, here ya go… It was the week between Christmas and New Year’s of December 2002. My Father called me and had
If you know anything about me, you know that I abandon hobbies like I’m being paid. Sewing, cross-stitching, comics, video games — the list goes on. However, one ‘hobby’ if you can call it that, that I have always done, enjoyed and never given up on is cooking. I love to cook.I especially love cooking
The Harlem Wizards return to the Williamsport Area High School to perform their feats of basketball prestidigitation on Thursday, January 22, at 6:30 p.m., with doors opening at 5:30 p.m., to again help raise funds for the Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation. “Our ongoing partnership with the Harlem Wizards, along with the generous sponsorship
