This year’s event took place over two days (April 4th & 5th). The event was held at Pine Street Methodist Church in Williamsport. The Lycoming & Clinton County Homeschool Association of PA is beyond grateful to the staff and members of Pine Street for all their support and graciously opening their building to us! This
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
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
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
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
The Williamsport Area High School (WAHS) art department will be represented at the 2025 Master & Grasshopper Exhibition at the Loomis Gallery at Commonwealth University’s Mansfield campus. The juried exhibition, open to high school art teachers and students from Pennsylvania and New York, showcases mentorship between educators and their students. Representing WAHS are: – Josh
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
April 1st is April Fool’s Day and kicks off National Humor Month. It is tempting to write about how foolish our elected officials are, but it would be impossible to do that in a Webb Weekly article. It would likely result in a book the size of War and Peace. Therefore, I decided to highlight
Much love to the Lady Lancers. They continue to make us proud. HERSHEY baby. My fingers are crossed. Good luck, gals. Play your best. Take tons of photos. Cherish the experience. Regardless of the outcome, you are still rock stars. We will talk more about these gals down the road. I recently wrote a story
It’s no April Fool — later this month (April 26, to be exact), thousands of loyal Penn State football fans will be jamming themselves into the parking lot of West Shore Home to catch a glimpse of the 2025 Nittany Lions. Those planning on making the trip need to make sure they have the right
Area hunters are truly blessed with State Game Lands encompassing thousands of acres nearby where they can hunt. That acreage has been paid for by money generated by hunting license sales and should remain for hunters’ use for generations to come. But what happens when the forests on that land undergo changes that negatively affect
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight one of the most common — and preventable — types of cancer. Despite advances in screening and treatment, colorectal cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. However, early detection through routine screenings can make all the difference in preventing
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
Folks of a certain age might recall “Night at the Opera” as the name of a best-selling Queen record — the one with “Bohemian Rhapsody” on it. For those a bit older, that title also invokes the Marx Brothers’ classic comedy from 1935. But for Lycoming County music fans this spring, it means another exciting
Truth be told, I must have been bitten by the “travel bug” at an early age. I have always been a wanderer, frequently daydreaming about my next quest or next travel and adventure destination. But, whenever I am away from my roots here in Lycoming County, I am often caught up in the desire to
Boys and girls, you’re about to behold a sight so fuzzy, so enchanting, so utterly charming, that I urge those of you who are easily tickled or prone to the giggles to look the other way — but if you are still here, step right up, everyone has a chance to win a prize! As
For the past couple of weeks, Webb’s Weird Words has been looking backward. To be specific: On March 19, we reviewed the Greek and Latin origins of medical terminology; and then on 3/26, we covered Medieval terms that are also health-related — like phlegmatic, bilious and lily-livered. Now that spring (and April!) have arrived, we’re
As we continue transitioning from winter into spring, I’ve been looking around for some outfit inspiration. Some wardrobe staples are simply meant to be worn together, such as the classic white t-shirt and jeans look or blazer and loafers. While others rarely meet in one outfit, like cutoffs and a trench coat. One new pairing
