There has been way too much negativity across our Nation in the last year, we need to leave it in the past and move forward full speed ahead. The United States of America is truly the greatest shining light of freedom and opportunity the world has ever seen. Our One Nation Under God must remember its
Y’all! It’s getting hot! And with a holiday weekend upon us, we are all *hopefully* going to be out enjoying the beautiful warm weather! Don’t forget the sunscreen and to stay hydrated! No drinking and driving and keep an eye out for friends and loved ones — including your furbabies! Cats and dogs are as
Last year’s July 4th celebrations seemed subdued and out of place as the “Set the Night to Music” fireworks took place at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in Hughesville; well, this year, they are back bigger and better in downtown Williamsport in the vicinity of the Hampton Inn and Wegmans on Sunday, July 4. It wasn’t
Getting ready for a Fourth of July celebration, whether it’s at home with your loved ones or celebrating with a few friends, doesn’t mean you have to reach for an American flag t-shirt or print. Instead, you can express your patriotism and sense of style with a variety of summer-loving looks. Here are a few
The Muncy Historical Society is one of the most active historical societies in the area and pride themselves on the various programs they present to the public.

With the recent announcement, by Gov. Wolf of the rollback on COVID-19 restrictions, ballpark capacity has returned to 100%. Other safety measures in place for the 2021 season include: – Sanitizing stations throughout the ballpark – Restroom attendants on duty providing extra sanitization of high touch surfaces – Clear Bag Policy for a touchless search
Without any proven data to rely on, I would guess that there aren’t many Americans thrilled with ‘the new normal’ that is being introduced to our daily lives. It could be safely assumed that most would much prefer the pre-COVID norm that we have been living without for the past 16 months. However, glimpses of
Anyone involved in hunting, especially big game, knows how important it is to use the right caliber of gun to take the prey you are after. You don’t use a 22-caliber rifle for hunting deer or bears, and you don’t need a 300 Winchester Mag. to bag a gray squirrel. This week’s piece, however, is
The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners Meetings could be described as 99% mundane matters and 1% wow moments. The ‘wows’ generally catch me by surprise, such as line item 1.6, “Proclamation: Jack McKee 100th Birthday,” listed on the Tuesday, June 22nd agenda. OK, I guess it is great that a guy hits the century mark,
At one time or another, all of us at some point, have probably signed a petition. It might have been to get someone on an election ballot or showing our support for a cause or protest against one issue or another. But none of us have ever bore the heavyweight of a pen in the
Part 3 DAY THREE: “Relief comes in different ways.” After the near-death experience the night before, sleep was hard to come by, and gathering for breakfast with the other hunters and guides could not come soon enough. Everyone’s curiosity was satisfied as I related my story of the hunt and near-tragedy with my guide, Travis,
I have always been around hunting and shooting sports. I grew up around a shooting preserve, aiding my uncle Raymond P. Sones in the feeding and care of pheasants, chucker partridge, and bobwhite quail. For my family, hunting and conservation go hand in hand. My dad always taught me to pick my shot and not
Tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to Mr. George Hutchinson. The local real estate developer, businessman, and entrepreneur has a knack for making things better and more aesthetically appealing than he found them. He increases property value in whatever neighborhood he invests in. What triggered my thinking is what he
Before I start, let’s alllll get one thing straight (no pun intended). If you intend to read this article and then proceed to call or email me with hate or vitriol; if you intend to call me names, tell me I need to find God (my relationship with God is just fine, thanks) or any
Paul McGinn and I have been good friends for a very long time. We coached hoops together and called several games on WEBBWEEKLYLIVE. Paul is a good dude, and he is always around. We don’t see much of each other nowadays as we both focus more on our boys. I reached out to Paul this
With the 2021 Little League Baseball® World Series (LLBWS) set for August 19-29, a group of dedicated volunteers known as “Team Hosts” are gearing up to make sure all the players, coaches, and managers have an unforgettable time in Williamsport this summer. Each year, Team Hosts are instrumental in making sure everything behind the scenes is
People are living longer than ever and many of us want to remain active later in life. All those years of activity can wear on our bodies, especially our joints. While minor pain and aches are normal, long-lasting pain or pain that causes you to make lifestyle changes are something you should consider talking to

In 2019, my very good friend from college suggested we celebrate our 40th birthdays the following year with a trip to Sonoma. I said, “sounds great; let’s touch base after the new year and see what 2020 looks like…” Well, we all know what happened in 2020. My friend, who lives in Denver, turned 40
When it comes to police officers and the media, it seems that negative stories are what consistently make news headlines. Rarely are the countless good deeds that are performed by our brave men and women in blue lauded. This is why when local police and rescue personnel saved two people and their dog, it was
With more Sunday hunting opportunities on the way, additional days available for hunters to fill their antlerless deer tags and the biggest allotment of elk licenses yet, the 2021-22 season is one that Pennsylvania hunters eagerly are awaiting. And they won’t have to wait for long. Hunting and furtaker licenses for 2021-22 will go on

COVID has sucked up much of the air this past year and has caused many other serious concerns to be pushed to the side. This is not only true in the national picture but also in Lycoming County. While the shutdowns have played havoc with commerce and education, it has also had a terrible impact
No doubt, every youngster playing youth baseball or softball who has ever hit a home run, and their parents, has fond memories of the occasion. It is a moment of personal grandeur and satisfaction. Time fades to a blur as the home run slugger triumphantly enjoys the three left turns required to circle the bases
I suppose a better way of saying “let’s get down to earth” might be to say, “it’s time to start thinking terrestrial.” What I mean is that even though a lot of our mayfly hatches are slowing down and coming to an end, now is the time to start turning to terrestrials or those bugs
DAY TWO (cont.): “The Really, Really Ugly.” Nearly two hours had passed as Travis skinned out the bear on the steep hillside in the thick brush aided only by a dim headlamp. It was not an easy task by himself, and the job was nearly complete when he let out a blood-curdling yell. Moments later,
The Uptown Music Collective, the area’s premier nonprofit school of music, is now accepting scholarship applications for its 2021-2022 school year, which will begin in September. This year, the Collective is offering 11 needs- and merit-based scholarships to currently enrolled students, as well as new students wishing to enroll in the school for the upcoming
It has been almost a decade since my Father left God’s green Earth. I think about him often regarding so many things and what his thoughts would be. For those of you that knew my Dad or read him over the years, just imagine his take on what the world has become. What I miss
With Father’s Day on the horizon, I wanted to take a moment to explore the emerging trend of “Dad Style.” If your daily go-to is a pair of comfy jeans and a polo shirt, you are inadvertently already following this trend. Alternatively, if the term “Dad Style” evokes memories of your own dad’s closet, especially
Shopping for Father’s Day can be difficult. From tools to tech toys, some gifts are used over and over again, but thoughtful gifts that match your dad’s interests can make this year’s present a memorable one. If he enjoys reading, there are options that align with almost every hobby and interest, from advice for hands-on
I just want to take a minute to say Happy Father’s Day… Happy Father’s Day to the Dads who are able to make every game. Happy Father’s Day to the Dads who miss games because they work long hours providing for their families. Happy Father’s Day to Dads who are far away protecting our freedoms.
Children make cherished memories at summer camp, where many youngsters first discover passions and hobbies they will enjoy for the rest of their lives. Summer 2020 was a camp season unlike any other. Some camps closed their doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while others downsized their offerings in an effort to keep campers safe
The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., has announced the availability of Father’s Day kits for families. The kits can be used by families to create special treats to celebrate a special man in their lives on Sunday, June 20. Father’s Day is a great opportunity to appreciate the love and effort of
DAY TWO: “The Good, the Bad and the REALLY, REALLY Ugly” It was mid-afternoon on the second day when Travis, our guide, and Walker and I saddled up and headed east on the trail to our evening hunting blinds. Travis in the lead, followed by the pack mule, then Walker, then me. We had only
Congratulations to all the teachers, kids, and administrators. This school year was definitely a challenge. I can’t begin to tell you how proud of you I am. Battling the unknowns and dealing with the COVID protocols wasn’t fun. But you found a way to persevere. Kudos and major props. Special thanks to all of you
I remember as a young man when I first started fishing, my buddies and I would dig some worms and head to the nearest creek. Like a lot of other young fishermen, we didn’t give much thought to what we might catch just as long as we caught something. As time went on, I got
