- Community
- May 23, 2018
There is a large home located in the vicinity of Penn College. It’s in a rather lovely residential neighborhood in the city of Williamsport, but something odd was happening there. The neighbors wondered why there were dozens of cars parked around the place every Thursday night. What could possibly be going on there week after

Stop Sand from Spoiling Summer Fun0
Few things are as synonymous with summer recreation as a day at the beach enjoying the sun, sand and surf. Whiling away the hours at the coast is an ideal way to get fresh air and enjoy family or solitary time and also can be an entertaining way to exercise and learn about marine life.

After a trip with a hunting buddy to New York State on the first Sunday of the spring gobbler season, which ended in a clean miss for my friend, my enthusiasm had been renewed. Although there had been little reason to hunt here locally due to the lack of sightings or seeing fresh signs of

Some time ago my daughter cleaned her bedroom, and in so doing resurrected an embarrassment of items that she had ostensibly given up for dead. Things that she hadn’t seen in such a long period of time that she forgot about them almost entirely. There was a pair of iPhone earbuds that had been MIA

Webb Weekly does not often follow up on stories we have previously run, but we believe because the original story exemplifies the spirit of recognition and appreciation of those in uniform who gave their lives to keep this country free, we thought it wholly appropriate to do a follow-up. In our April 25 issue, we

It’s great to see the mountains that line the West Branch Valley aglow in that special spring-green foliage. At times, it didn’t seem like spring was ever going to get here — let alone summer. We truly live in one of the most beautiful places on God’s green earth, and it’s great to see everybody

In a time when the media is taking a beating — being accused of being ‘fake,’ and often slanting to the left or right for their own benefit, it’s very existence threatened, let’s take a minute and put it to good use. No other print news in the area has the coverage that Webb Weekly

Filling the Void with Remembrances0
He had the softest ears of any dog I’ve ever known. That said, I almost never passed up an opportunity to caress them. Nor could I deny how I loved snuggling with him on the couch, his box-like body curled up and wedged next to mine — safe and warm. No matter what the day

Gathering friends and family doesn’t need to be fancy. With its prime positioning between breakfast and lunch, brunch is a more casual and lighter alternative to the typical dinner party. When charged with hosting a mid-day gathering, a little pre-planning can go a long way toward ensuring your brunch get-together is as simple as it

While the plump-breasted worm-eating robin is entitled “The harbinger of spring,” there is no doubt that sightings of the early bluebirds are eagerly awaited as well. As they begin to leave their winter hangouts and appear more often outside the kitchen window or perched near the garden, we wonder what we can do to keep

I’m an avid hunter, after all, I’ve been a hunter all my life, but I also enjoy watching wildlife. As many people probably already know, in addition to my love of hunting I am also a wildlife artist and illustrator. As such, it’s important that I observe, and carefully study, wildlife as much as possible.

The specimen of weed the high school boy discovered and turned over to Captain Joseph Schmucker as suspected marihuana, and which was sent to the Philadelphia Police Laboratory for identification, proves to be a plant of unusual nature to that laboratory, although not marihuana. In a letter received by Captain Schmucker last night, Edward J.

It isn’t often a writer gets a chance to double-down on a column, but perfection in sports demands that kind of attention. Any seam head, whether it’s softball or baseball, knows the importance of a perfect game. It’s rarer than most accomplishments in sports, other than maybe a 21-pitch at-bat. (It just happened in the

Compiled by Lou Hunsinger Jr. The last passenger train through Williamsport was 50 minutes late for its own funeral. The mourners all arrived in plenty of time for the 3:09 p.m. service Friday. There were many kids oblivious to what they were witnessing. There were their parents, who thought so highly of the event as

It appears that the daytime temperatures are finally reaching a more comfortable level and the snow (I hope!) is gone for the season. Now it’s a matter of double checking our gear, taking a shot or two just to verify the sights are still on, and maybe slipping out for a final morning or two

Baby Boomers came into a world that was completely different than their parents who suffered through the Great Depression and World War II. Travel became easier as automobiles became more affordable and the road system improved. Home entertainment became possible with television and radio. One of the unfortunate side effects of these new experiences was

In last week’s piece, I mentioned that versatility was a key to catching more fish. In fact, the whole point was that the more different species of fish you were willing to pursue the better your chances of hooking up — literally. I would like to continue that theme of versatility but with a different

Well, it appears that spring has finally sprung! With the warmer temperatures and intermittent rains, we should turn our attention to habitat work that will benefit all forms of wildlife.

This Sunday superheroes and evil villains bent of mayhem will overtake the Genetti Hotel’s ballroom for the second annual Williamsport Comic-Con.

Just an opinion. I’m not asking that you agree with me. Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, special family commemoratives are all occasions holding distinctive meanings most worthy of celebration, carrying with them dire consequences should one fail to recognize them properly. But since the days of my early childhood, the day marking the start of another Major

“A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.” How many times have you heard that little quote? Well, I don’t buy it; a better thought is, “A good day of fishing is better than a good day at work.” Yea, I know it’s nice to just be out there enjoying

When storms roll in, they might bring along high winds, thunder and lightning and drops in temperature. Many people ride out storms indoors, but some may find themselves suddenly caught in a storm and not know what to do. For the unprepared, the potential for injury is significant.

Nobody likes getting ripped off. I don’t care if you got stuck with a lemon vacuum cleaner, poor roof or siding repair, or got hosed by Bernard Madoff and his fancy Ponzi scheme. It’s not one of life’s greatest experiences. It can even happen when you are young and green, as a few “snakes” showed
