Spotting a bear in Pennsylvania is certainly not all that unusual, especially in our part of the state. For some of us who live outside of town, seeing a bear or two in the course of a year is no surprise, and in fact, some folks who live in town have reported bear sightings in
Describing himself as “a basketball junkie,” newly named South Williamsport girls’ basketball coach Dean Kriebel’s upcoming on-court challenge isn’t nearly as daunting as the ten-month cancer foe he successfully defeated during the past year. “Two years ago, I had the opportunity to get back in the game coaching the boys’ seventh-grade team, and I really
Williamsport Area High School students now have guaranteed admission to Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, thanks to an agreement recently signed by the Williamsport Area School District. Under the agreement, all WAHS graduates now have guaranteed admission to the Bloomsburg, Lock Haven or Mansfield campuses as well as on-campus housing for up to four years of
I was recently asked to tee it up in a few tournaments. I used to love golf, but now it’s totally different. Yes. I am back to coaching at my alma mater. I am enjoying my interactions with the Lycoming College Warriors. But I don’t play much. It’s cool. I don’t miss it. I seriously
The Financial Aid Office at Pennsylvania College of Technology is offering its resources to help current and future college students and their families complete the 2023-24 Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Colleges and universities require the FAFSA to determine student eligibility for federal and state grants, federal loans, and some scholarships. Penn College is
Nobody likes to get poked with a needle and see their own blood streaming through a clear tube. But it can be an important tool in diagnosing and treating medical conditions. Phlebotomy is a quick and mostly painless procedure that can enable physicians to correctly diagnose diseases and figure out the best treatment options. It’s
There are an amazing number of ways that you can use venison for breakfast, lunch, or dinner menus, and when it comes to snacks, using venison to make jerky tops the list. Venison jerky is popular among all ages, and it is as easy to make as 1-2-3-4. That is slice – marinade – dehydrate
It’s not an easy topic to discuss and not one that you would typically find on the cover of Webb Weekly. However, it is difficult to consider yourself a ‘Family-Oriented Newspaper’ without acknowledging how domestic violence affects families. It affects families right here in our cities, towns, and boroughs. I feel that we would be
With the recent wet weather and the cloudy days ahead, I’ve been thinking about how best to dress for the rain with a fashionable nod toward fall style. In my mind, wet autumn weather doesn’t mean slacking in style. In fact, I see it as a fashion challenge to look great and stay dry. Plus
I know it’s fall, and that means hunting seasons are in full swing, but a lot of us diehard fishermen aren’t quite ready to give up our fishing endeavors just yet. There’s a good reason we’re not ready to hang up our fishing rods since there are still some great fishing opportunities available through the
Park Place, the former Park Home and, before that, the former Park Hotel, is one of Williamsport’s most venerable architectural artifices; so, it seems only natural that it should help host a spooky fundraiser, “Boo on the Porch” to be held Friday, October 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. This fundraiser helps to fund an
Archery hunters have already been taking deer in these early weeks of the season, and soon rifle hunters will join the ranks of those who look forward each year to hunting whitetails and having great-tasting venison for nutritious meals. The recent stretch of cool weather has helped ensure that there is much less chance of

By Steph Nordstrom I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Webb Weekly writer Jeff Federowicz. Jeff had been a longtime writer with us, and he will be missed. Jeff had a quirky sense of humor that you could definitely see when you read his stories. He had written for us for well
I love this time of year as North Central PA is on fire. Change is in the air. Everything is shining. Autumn brings us so many vibrant colors. The Visitors Bureau needs to give me a buzz. Our new addition has got me stressed. I wish there were more hours in the day. Sadly, there

Consider the philosophy that politics are framed around. In general, Republicans identify themselves as conservative and Democrats as progressive. It certainly seems that ‘progress’ itself is inevitable in society’s development, which is why the wind always seems to be in the sails of the Democratic Party. To be sure, the past has not been fair
Historical records do not indicate the amount of pre-match interest or community chatter that may have existed in the days leading up to the Biblical confrontation between David & Goliath, but Friday night’s match-up between Class A Canton and AAAA powerhouse Jersey Shore has been the talk of the town among area football fans in
Pennsylvania isn’t offering a bear hunting season in 2022. As was the case last year, it’s essentially offering three. Properly licensed hunters can take black bears in multiple ways — with bows, muzzleloaders and, in cases, even rifles — in what can be considered the early bear season. That includes the archery bear season, which
Though a very common injury for athletes, ankle injuries can happen to anyone at any time. Hiking down your favorite local trail, walking down the stairs with a loaded laundry basket, or mowing the grass in the backyard and stepping into that ditch you’ve been meaning to fill in — it can happen to anyone.
Wow, one of my favorite covers of the year, and this particular one has been that way for the last three years — the tradition of the South Williamsport Mummers’ Parade in celebrating its 75th marching. As I have mentioned in the past, I grew up on the top of Kane Street on the South

It has been three years since the last South Williamsport Mummers’ Parade was held. It was interrupted first by the COVID pandemic in 2020 and then a deluge of rain in 2021. But this year, it is back bigger and better than ever. According to Dori Rankinen, one of the parade organizers, they have added
After a relentlessly hot and muggy summer, who isn’t welcoming these cooler days of autumn with open arms? But with cozy evenings, sweaters, foliage, and pumpkins, fall can also bring a host of potential skin problems. The combination of chillier weather and central heating can make your skin dry, tight, and sensitive. The lotions and
Frost on the pumpkins, a cool nip in the air, and the mountains getting dressed in their finest shades of crimson red, golden yellow, and vibrant orange means it’s that time of year. Time for Christmas! The jumpstart on Christmas began two weeks after Labor Day when Santa left cases of Christmas sweets at local
We are rapidly approaching the second week of the initial Pennsylvania statewide archery season, which runs until November 18 this year. Additional archery, muzzleloader, special firearms, regular firearms, flintlock, and extended firearms seasons throughout the state give hunters ample opportunities to “bring home the venison” this year. Along the way, there are several important steps
Vehicle engines include complex parts that work in concert to ensure that the car functions properly. When servicing their cars and trucks, vehicle owners may look to many parts of the engine yet overlook a relatively mundane, albeit important, component: the air filter. All cars come equipped with air filters, which are essential to optimum
Agriculture is one of the most important components of Pennsylvania’s and, in particular, Lycoming County’s economy. Unfortunately, the number of those farming is diminishing across the state. As a reminder of the importance of agriculture to our local economy and our way of life, Ben Hepburn, a retired agriculture teacher at Montoursville High School, started
With the archery season well underway, it’s a pretty safe bet there are a good number of treestands that are occupied by archery enthusiasts, and for good reason — it’s a proven approach for taking a deer, especially with a bow. Archery hunting from the more permanent type of ladder stands or climbing treestands offer
Any number of issues can affect drivers while on the road. Few issues may prove more disruptive than a flat tire. Flat tires can delay road trips and adversely affect commutes, all the while posing a significant safety hazard. Changing a flat tire is a valuable skill that all drivers should have in their repertoire,
