  • Attacked Twice by a Black Bear!

    Attacked Twice by a Black Bear!2

    Ken Hunter

    Like a lot of outdoorsmen, I’ve had a number of “encounters” with black bears over the years. Still, none of those scenarios have ever resulted in a bear actually attacking me or in any way injuring me. As often happens, a little yelling and the bear usually heads off in the opposite direction. While bear

  • County Hall Corner: Office of Voter Services Needs a Hug0

    Larry Stout

    Years ago, I had a boss who had a very annoying habit of giving me tasks with absolutely no clue on how I was to accomplish those tasks. He would come up with a crazy idea and say, “Larry, here is what I want done…” I would counter, “But sir, how exactly do you expect

  • County Hall Corner: Extra! Extra! The Latest on Mail-In Ballots0

    Larry Stout

    As I have noted in my last County Hall Corner, living abroad resulted in my having to explain many American idiosyncrasies. It is not just our sports vocabulary but also the extremely odd way we go about electing a President of the United States compared to the relatively simple way heads of state are elected

  • Sharing Little League World Series Memories1

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    This year there is an aching void in our summer sports calendar, and that is the absence of the annual Little League World Series due to COVID-19. We at Webb Weekly thought we would try in a small way to fill a little of that void by providing some memories of those involved in holding

  • Little League to Host Blood Drive0

    Press Release

    This August, the Little League® International Complex will look much different without the smiling faces and exciting cheers that surround the Little League Baseball® World Series, but members of the Williamsport community will still have the opportunity to bring those smiles to the faces of others as Little League International joins together with the American

  • Uncles without ‘Nephews’0

    Scott Lowery

    A few days ago over lunch I had the opportunity to ‘catch up’ with friend and broadcast partner Tom Speicher. Our conversation included how strange these next two weeks will be without the Little League World Series. He then suggested it would be interesting to learn how the Little League Uncles are handling this series-less

  • Bob’s Buddies Giveaway Program for Children0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Charles “Bob” Kieffer had a strong love for children. For many years he served as the Sunday School Superintendent at the Delaware Run Wesleyan Church and referred to the children as “his little buddies.” He and his wife, Brenda, served and cared for and loved children. When he died in 1998, members of the church

  • This Week’s LION: Surviving the Storm — Williamsport’s Backhouse Cafe0

    Larry Stout

    The forced quarantine in Pennsylvania was designed to save lives, but it has taken a very tough toll on two particular groups; school students and small business owners and their employees. Students are young and will undoubtedly rebound one way or another, but many predictions point toward many small business owners going belly up, causing

  • County Hall Corner: The Real Deal District Attorney0

    Larry Stout

    The office of county district attorney has traditionally been a stepping stone to higher office. It comes from the nature of the position itself. Law enforcement officials arrest an offender, the courts will try them, but it is the DA’s office that prosecutes. The DA is the one who, in effect, determines how justice will

  • Drop the Mic0

    Scott Lowery

    The announcement was not a surprise. Most folks were hoping against hope that it wouldn’t come. But Little League International President & CEO Steve Keener’s April 30 pronouncement that this year’s World Series and related regional tournaments would not be played will leave a huge void not only in our community but around the world.

    A tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to everyone that reached out to me about last week’s column. You Can Kiss My Mask – The Attempted Oppression of Our Life Liberty and Happiness. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and it was great to talk with so many red,

    Scott Lowery

    Our ‘new normal’ of staying hunkered down at home is presenting its challenges and difficulties as we all seek to ‘team up’ in the on-going battle with the coronavirus scourge. Watching the TV evening news can be mentally depressing, and I often opt to tune out. But on one occasion the release of a Nielson

    What an amazing week it was in the West Branch Valley. Normally, each happening would result in a cover story; however, with so many great things going on, that just wasn’t possible. I will provide a quick overview of each and be following up with more specifics in the future. I’ll begin with the top

    Scott Lowery

    Good riddance may be the kindest thing I could say about the month of March as we push its disastrous thirty-one days into our rear-view mirror. What we are collectively enduring has been nothing to fool around about. It seems somewhat ironic that in the face of all this grimness the beginning of April brings

  • Apologies0

    Scott Lowery

    It wasn’t a big deal, and at the time, and its action didn’t receive much national attention in the baseball world. Yet, that December 1, 2017 decision by the Houston Astros to non-tendered pitcher Mike Fiers, making him a free agent, may long live as a significant footnote in baseball history as the beginning of

  • County Hall Corner: Making Recognition Really Count0

    Larry Stout

    In covering the weekly County Commissioners Meetings these past five years, much of the action is rudimentary administrative actions. Still, at least once a month, time is set aside in the meeting to acknowledge employees for their time of service or when they have done something special that deserves recognition. The Thursday, February 6th meeting

    Larry Stout

    Ryan Gardner has the physique that would make it easier to believe that he was a fitness trainer rather than a district attorney, but in some ways, he is trying to get someone into shape. Actually, not a ‘someone’ but a ‘something,’ and that something is the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office. His strong stature

  • Remembering Two of The Baggy Pants Boys of 19390

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    It was with great sadness last week when it was learned that two of the “Baggy Pants Boys of 1939,” Bill Bair and Al “Sonny” Yearick had died. They were two of the thinning ranks of the boys who played on those first three Little League teams 81 years ago. Bill and Al were two

    According to the Red Cross, “National Blood Donor Month has been observed in January since 1970 with the goal of increasing blood and platelet donations during winter — one of the most difficult times of year to collect enough blood products to meet patient needs.

    This weekly column is devoted to recognizing LIONS — “Leaders in our Neighborhood.” These are individuals that do not make headlines, receive very little recognition, but are quietly going above and beyond in their particular field or venture. For 2020, there is going to be a particular emphasis that will be in every week’s column

    Larry Stout

    One of my favorite exercises at the end of the year is to review all my columns throughout the year. I began writing LION (Leaders In Our Neighborhood) features in April of 2014, and I am always surprised how each year seems to have a certain theme. In 2018, it was good people passing away.

    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

    When the Allenwood Federal Corrections Complex opened in 1993, there were some concerned citizens that lived nearby. One of these was a feisty mother of seven, named Liz Steward, who lived about a mile away from the new facility.

    Forrest Gump was a novel written in 1986 by Winston Groom. The main character was a lovable man that stumbles and bumbles his way through life and history. The book, however, did not reach peak fame until July 6th, 1994, when the movie premiered starring actor Tom Hanks. Both book and movie are very quotable,

    I featured Judge Marc Lovecchio in a LION (Leaders In Our Neighborhood) article several weeks ago, and not long after I received an email from a reader who stated that they seriously disagreed with my article honoring the judge.
