  • County Hall Corner: The Self-Inflicted Apocalypse0

    Larry Stout

    This week is the fourth anniversary of an event that should get more attention. The COVID-19 shutdowns began in Pennsylvania on March 13, 2020. At the time, I thought how appropriate it was that it was Friday the 13th. Believe it or not, there is a word for the fear of this day: Paraskevidekatriaphobia. The

  • It’s Time to Let the American Voter Decide0

    Jim Webb

    I wanted to wait until after the South Carolina GOP primary to pen this column. The polls that I don’t often trust and many people I talked to told me it would be former President Donald Trump in a runaway. This was my gut feeling also; however, it was Nikki Haley’s home state, and I

    Punxsutawney Phil was a no show. I guess that means it will be an early spring. Sign me up. The weather has been quite unpredictable. We haven’t experienced much cold. I was hoping to get out for some ice fishing, but the conditions drastically changed. I had to bail on my Amish friends. They didn’t

  • County Hall Corner: Lady Liberty has Dropped Her Scales0

    Larry Stout

    In 1831, a young French diplomat named Alexis de Tocqueville was charged with researching this country’s penal system but found himself more enamored with our judicial system. After going about the country, he returned to France and put his observations into a book, Democracy in America, published in 1835. It would become one of the

  • County Hall Corner: On Your Mark…Get Set…0

    Larry Stout

    Yes, yes, I know it is a long time out, but believe me, it will be here before we know it. I am speaking about the upcoming Primary Election on April 23rd and the General Election on November 5th. Many political prognosticators, who are wiser than I am, believe this might be one of the

    Carols, classics, love songs, movie scores, Russian music, pop tunes, medleys, jazzy Christmas versions and even a waltz. “There is something for everyone,” says conductor Jeff Dent, describing this year’s free holiday concert by Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band. Slated for 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 12 at the Community Arts Center, the ensemble’s annual Christmas-season performance

    Larry Stout

    We still have a month left in 2023, but the upcoming year may be one of this century’s most important years, and we need to get ready. The United States has never been more divided than it is right now. Given that even antisemitism is publicly displayed, and in the spirit of ‘diversity’ considered acceptable

  • PNC Real Estate0

    Scott Lowery

    In the real estate world, other than ‘sale is final,’ ‘location, location, location’ seems to be the magic words. Where, as opposed to what is often the sought-after trump card. In the baseball world, the long-suffering fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates are a prime example of the location conundrum. Its physical property, PNC Park at

  • We Are in a Battle for the Soul of America0

    Jim Webb

    I have waited to write this article until President Joe Biden officially announced his intention regarding the 2024 election. Last Tuesday, he did just that, releasing a video asking the American people for more time to “finish this job.” Before I get started, I want to clarify that I would be writing the same words

    Paul Petcavage

    I am now 68 years old. I was born in 1954 to Jean and Albert Petcavage, and to the best of my knowledge, my parents did not believe in middle names, so I was named at birth, or at least I thought I was until recently, just Paul Petcavage. I did eventually obtain a confirmation

    I am thankful to be at Lycoming. This is my second stint as the Warrior’s Golf Coach. I took a five-year hiatus after my mid-life crisis. I was with the team from 2001 to 2015. I stepped away to focus on other side hustles. They were extremely fun while they lasted. I got the call

  • County Hall Corner: History in the Making0

    Larry Stout

    In the March 1st issue of Webb Weekly, I wrote an article referencing a quote from Henry Ford, “Sorry, Henry, History is Not Bunk.” I used a poll of the “greatest athlete of all time” to prove how weak our country has become in understanding our history. To quote myself, “History is not ours to

  • Our Favorite Things: Repasz Band’s Spring Concert0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    For Williamsport’s popular Repasz Band, the well-known phrase “They’re playing our song” might be revised to say, “We’re playing our song” — because every concert ends with the ensemble’s signature “Repasz Band March.” But the “our song” theme is especially apt for this year’s spring concert, which features a program of personal favorites from the

  • March 29 is Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The men and women who fought and died in the Vietnam War are probably the most underappreciated and underrecognized of American veterans. Largely because they were involved in the most controversial war in American history. In a bid to reverse the injustice done to these veterans, a Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day was established. Vietnam Veteran

    The world of local music lost a great friend and leader last month. Albert J. Nacinovich, beloved music teacher and long-time director of Williamsport’s Repasz Band, passed away peacefully on Feb. 18. He is survived by two daughters, two granddaughters, a great-granddaughter and his wife of 62 years, Alice. Now nearing its 200th anniversary, the

    My wife and I are elected representatives for the Republican Party in Clinton Township, and in that capacity, we get invited to several events.

  • County Hall Corner: The Hunt for Red November0

    Larry Stout

    Harry Truman held up the famous November 3, 1948 headline on the Chicago Daily Tribune, which stated, “Dewey Defeats Truman,” with a big smile on his face. Last week’s midterm elections might be remembered similarly. The pollsters were unanimous in their assurance that the Republicans would easily control the House of Representatives and, most probably,

    As we approach what I believe is the most important midterm election in American history, I want to first give you a prediction if things don’t go the way of the Democratic Party and the current presidential administration. There was a time not that long ago that Democratic leader Chuck Schumer investigated the use of

    2022 is known as a midterm election year. Midterm elections are quite different from any other because they include a wide variety of political races — local offices, of course, as well as races for state offices and US Representative and Senate seats. This vast field results in the national media featuring a race here

    At first, I was amused by the US Congress January 6 Committee created to investigate the coup/insurrection that took place on that day in 2021, as a group of zealots stormed the hallowed chambers of our US Congresspeople for the purpose of preventing the certification of the 2020 presidential election. First, this is no ‘investigation’

    I was never exposed to fly fishing growing up. Sure, I tried it several times, but the purist ideology never stuck. It can be extremely frustrating, and I have zero confidence. I quit fifteen times and went back to my spinning rods. But COVID changed everything. I started with YouTube and made a few calls.

    Step aside New Hampshire and Iowa; your days of hogging up all the electoral oxygen in the country may be seeing an end. Pennsylvania has become the true battlefield state in the country.

    Some time back, the best political discussions were not on television or Facebook but at the local neighborhood barbershop. As a youngster, I found the discussions intense but also insightful.

    I couldn’t believe that a former president, and I’m talking Donald Trump, not Barack Obama, endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz for a senatorial spot here in the great state of Pennsylvania. I’d really like to know the behind-the-scenes truth about that one. But hey, if he’s your man, get out and cast your vote. That is
