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
It is just over a week away until the one-day Youth Hunt for Spring Gobblers on Saturday, April 26, 2025. Then, the following Saturday, May 3, is the opening day of the month-long Pennsylvania statewide spring gobbler season.

This year’s event took place over two days (April 4th & 5th). The event was held at Pine Street Methodist Church in Williamsport.

Aging and change go hand in hand. Although some may bemoan the gray hairs that start to arrive or stiffness in the knees that seems to sneak up on a person in middle age, such concerns are not necessarily enough to lose sleep over. However, many people 50 or older are nervous about the potential

Hey y’all! I’m so excited for Easter this weekend! I always have so much fun prepping for our annual Easter contest! Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It’s right up there with the 4th of July! But before I get too far into my article this week, let me ask you a question. Are
In any decent dog film, it’s practically a given that the featured canine will die at the end. But how about a pooch-picture where death comes first? And where it’s actually the owner who passes? That would be “The Friend,” a dog movie that’s not just about dogs. In fact, with yet another stunning lead
By Lou Hunsinger Jr Preservation Williamsport is an organization that helps to preserve the precious historical legacy of the historic Victorian architecture throughout Williamsport. But these efforts require a lot of money. One way they do this is through unique fundraisers such as the Casino Evil, which will take place this Friday night, April 18,
Every government entity needs money to operate, and that money has to come from somewhere. When the USA was founded in 1790, the primary source for supplying funds was from foreign tariffs. In fact, until 1913, tariffs supplied 80 percent of the federal revenue. But supporting an army, navy, and marine corps when wars come
On April 25th and 26th, the Uptown Music Collective will close out its 2024-25 season at the Community Arts Center in Williamsport with ‘80s Arena Rock: Power Ballads & Rock Anthems, a tribute to some of the most iconic arena rock bands of the 1980s.

Despite being pint-sized people, children can have some very big personalities and opinions. Parents know that kids have strong feelings on everything from the clothes they wear to the foods they eat. Although not all children are inherently picky eaters, most go through phases of picky eating during their childhood development, particularly when they are
The smiles on the faces of the Loyalsock Lady Lancers as they take a bite out of the gold medal says it all. What an unbelievable moment to be remembered, shared, and talked about by the Lady Lancer family, all the families that support each person within this photo, and the Lancer Nation forever. Thank
Let’s start with a HUGE congratulations to the Loyalsock Lady Lancer basketball team! Jamie has all the details beginning on page 6, but I can’t let the moment pass without saying — Amazing Job, Ladies!! Now — about that title… Spring is upon us, which means it’s time to peel off the winter layers, unearth
The Township is still buzzing. The Loyalsock Lady Lancer hoops squad just made history. They became the first girls’ team from Lycoming County to ever win a state championship. Loyalsock defeated Shady Side Academy 55-43. They finished the year with a record of 30-2. It was an incredible season — one for the ages. “It
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. The team’s trip

I’ve mentioned before that I am one of North Central PA’s biggest fans. Seriously, folks, what’s not to love about the 570? This place is splendid, and our beautiful area is the perfect backdrop for an outdoor enthusiast like me. Yes, I absolutely dig everything about her, and I am still patiently waiting on an
Youth sports are wildly popular. According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, approximately 61 percent of children between the ages of six and 17 participated in a total team sport at least once per week in 2023. Participation in sports can pay a number of dividends for children. Youngsters who play sports are physically
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
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. As you may have already started switching out your winter clothes for warmer weather apparel, it’s also a good time to rethink your skincare routine. It’s time
After months of cold weather, many people are eager to get outside and be active again. Whether it’s walking, running, biking, or playing sports, spring is the perfect time to shake off winter stiffness. But jumping back into activity too quickly can lead to injuries, especially for those who have been less active in the
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. They will also feed on large mammals such as raccoons, deer and
Sherry Clapper, daughter of Jack and Sharlene Clapper, has had a long and difficult road in her 50 years of life. She was born mentally disabled, could not walk or talk, and was told by some cruel person that she would be of no value to society. That road has included a severe kidney infection
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
Before I get to my title story, congratulations to the Loyalsock Township Lady Lancers on their amazing season — we will have complete coverage in next week’s issue. We are operating a day ahead of our normal press schedule, so as their championship game is tipping off at the Giant Center, this has already been
In case you haven’t noticed yet, look over there ⬅️ or over there ➡️, and you’ll notice that I have a shiny new name! That’s because as of you reading this (not as of me writing this), I have gotten married! Steve and I have been together for a while, but that doesn’t mean I’m
As March rolls around, it signals the beginning of the wild turkey breeding season when folks of hens and gobblers begin to mix. I’ve been seeing that mix over the past few weeks, and I’ve seen at least three large groups of turkeys, gobblers included, in several different locations. It’s that time of year when
Trout season opens this first Saturday in April, and in case you didn’t know that, you certainly will when you drive by one of our nearby trout streams. I’m sure plenty of anglers will be crowded around those locations recently stocked with trout. Fortunately, at least as of this writing, the streams are in pretty
