Brrr! Your home’s heating systems are working double time to keep you warm as temperatures drop. The Williamsport Bureau of Fire says safety must be your top priority since heating is the second leading cause of home fires. Follow the Williamsport Bureau of Fire’s suggestions to keep your home warm and safe. “The biggest mistake
Awakening on Monday morning to an inch of white covering the entire landscape was a (“somewhat”) gentle reminder that Thanksgiving and Christmas are rapidly approaching. It’s the season for gathering with friends and family, stuffing ourselves at the dinner table, taking time to be thankful for our friends and family and all of the good
My good friend Hal Gee threw me a perfect spiral a couple of weeks back to go with my Veterans Day story for 11/3. It was a beautiful pass, just like Hal and Lisa’s son Tyler throws for Coach Van Fleet and the Lancers. I’m not going to say I dropped it; I’m going with
Are you the person who is always tasked with bringing ice to Thanksgiving dinner? Or maybe paper plates? Or bread? Well, it’s time to step up your Thanksgiving game. Time to show the fam that you are a grown up now, and can contribute something tasty to the Thanksgiving spread! And you don’t even have
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. The picture that was being snapped by a multitude of cameras held by family and friends as South Williamsport tennis star Olivia Dorner officially signed her letter of intent to attend the University of Denver was one of those moments. For the soft-spoken
The Billtown Blues Association’s annual fundraiser, Fall Into the Blues, is significant in many ways. Most importantly it brings together a group of talented and highly regarded local and regional musicians, who have made a devoted effort to perform blues music — and to perform it well. This year’s event returns to the Garden Terrace
Hughesville Boys won the PIAA Class A Championship in Cross Country on Saturday, November 6th, in Hershey. The Spartans were able to place two runners in the top 20 finishers, with Morgan Gavitt taking 7th-place with a time of 17:05.70 and Hunter Foust taking 18th-place in 17:28.90.

After a one-year absence, Preservation Williamsport’s Victorian Christmas event is back and better than ever. The always highly anticipated event takes place this weekend, November 19 to 21. This event celebrates and highlights Williamsport’s beautiful and charming architectural heritage in some of its vintage homes and some of its churches and other public edifices. According
There are times when even I get writers’ block (which some might describe as a block head), so I decided to do something original. I sat down and thought through all the questions I received over the years about my Webb Weekly columns. Here are a few of them and my responses. “Where do you
The fall weather has finally settled in, and your cold-weather wardrobe is ready to go. Or maybe not. Part of me feels that when we change the clocks, I also have to put away all of my dresses in preparation for the cold winter months ahead. When wearing skirts and dresses for fall and winter,
Football old-timers may remember the story. During the 1970s Garo Yepremian, of Armenia descent, was a kicker for the Detroit Lions. He had never seen a professional football game before he suited up with the Lions. In his first game, he kicked a last-second game-winning extra point. As he ran off the field with his
First off, let me be clear, I don’t know much about shopping — that is, going into stores and buying things unless those things are hunting and fishing things. I know even less about buying “online” or whatever it is called when you order stuff with your device. That being said, every year about this
It was a splendid afternoon for November. The sun was shining, and I was in Muncy, PA, for a PIAA District IV Class A semifinal. The talented Indians were hosting the Montgomery Red Raiders. I was excited. There is so much to love about this small-town rivalry. Muncy is loaded, and they already smacked their
I will start by saying that the world seems to be filled with misinformation and hearsay, which quickly leads to confusion and misunderstanding. Adding to the mix are the occasional rumors that take foot and circulate, sometimes without any true substance or confirmation. While we should be skeptical of such rumors that have not been
A heartfelt thank you and Webb Weekly salute to all our Veterans. Since the creation of the Continental Army in 1775, the American soldier has been fighting for and protecting our freedom every moment. Our Nation has been at what is actually considered war 227 out of a possible 245 years. With all the threats
World War I, which was known at the time as “The Great War,” officially ended on June 28, 1919, when the Treaty of Versailles was signed, in the Palace of Versailles in France. Fighting had ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into
A trip by a local family to Virginia last year served as the catalyst for the newest monument that will appear in Williamsport’s Lycoming County Veterans Memorial Park in the city’s West End. “This monument came about with a text message from friends Ken and Tami Feese, asking us if we wanted to go to
As a new basketball season is quickly upon us, I’ve been reflecting on the coaches I was privileged to have in my basketball career, who had — and some who continue to have — a tremendous impact on my life. One never knows who may enter a young boy’s life and either change his direction
The recent elections around the country, particularly in our region of New Jersey, Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania, provided some interesting insights about where our country might be going. The polls predicted a shift to the conservative right, which certainly happened. But what was behind it was not necessarily what was making headlines. First, why
Everyone knows that feeling. You look into your closet and feel like there’s nothing to wear, even though it’s probably overflowing with garments. Not that anyone needs another project, but as we head toward the end of another challenging year, it may be time for a routine closet cleanout, if only for the sake of
It was absolutely pouring, and I was keeping my fingers crossed. Perhaps they will come to their senses and cancel the game in the mud. My crew and I set up outside the visiting Jersey Shore press box. We were huddled under a pop-up tent that was doing its best to protect us from the
Tragically, every year as the hunting season gets underway and the “army” of Pennsylvania hunters hits the woods, unpleasant discoveries are made. As these hunters travel deeper into the woods than normal in pursuit of small or big game, the chances are all-too-real that they may come across a hiker or camper that has passed
This Sunday evening at the Genetti Hotel, the West Branch Valley Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame will induct 12 new individuals to its membership rolls. Among those to be recognized is former South Williamsport High School and Lycoming College football standout Jason Zalonis. His selection makes the Hall of Fame a Zalonis
When we think about calling in a game animal, we usually associate that idea with calling in a turkey or maybe even a coyote; but as many archery hunters know, calling can also be very effective when hunting during the rut. The rut will go through three phases as we head into late October and
COVID-19 continues to be a part of our lives. To say this has been a complex pandemic would be an understatement. However, as time goes on, we continue to see evolution in approaches to providing care that are safe, effective, and saving lives, and on top of that, we have multiple options for viable, safe
There is a new radio station in town that will be “on-air” for one weekend only! The Uptown Music Collective, the area’s premier nonprofit school of music, is set to kick off their 2021-2022 Performance Season at the Community Arts Center by presenting WUMC: FM Radio Hits of the ‘70’s. The show will run on
With The Salvation Army being our cover this week, I just thought it was fitting that I moved one of my annual topics up a couple of weeks. I have always been a big believer in the work The Salvation Army does. As most, I became familiar with the organization when I was only a
When fall comes around, I really start to crave everything with carbs. Soups, stews, pasta dishes — you name it, and I want to try it. I think it helps me to be able to stave turning on the heat just a little bit longer. You can’t be cold while eating a nice bowl of
The Salvation Army is one of the most beloved and effectual social service agencies anywhere — and locally — that is no exception. As we approach the Christmas season, strongly associated with the Salvation Army, the local “Army” has had a change in leadership, with two individuals determined to continue to do God’s work effectively
The sports landscape changed dramatically in 2020. Professional sports leagues were forced to interrupt and/or delay their seasons, while many amateur athletes, including college and scholastic players, were told their seasons would not take place in 2020. Despite those delays and cancellations, many athletes are competing this fall and winter. And that means fans will
