With all that the Class of 2026 has witnessed in what was supposed to be that special senior year, they deserve a presidential quality commencement speech. So I looked to our Commanders in Chief since the founding of our Nation in 1776 for the class of 2026. Our 2nd President, John Adams, will give the
If Webb readers needed any confirmation that this particular writer is a true reading nerd, here it is: One highlight of my recent Southern vacation was the chance to peruse no less than seven different Florida newspapers. These included dailies and weeklies from such places as Naples, Fort Myers and the Peace River region, along
As the school year wraps up, many families are looking forward to a season of sun, fun, and well-earned relaxation. Summer offers a welcome break from early mornings, packed lunches, and homework, however, it’s also a time when routines can shift dramatically. For children, these changes can affect their sleep, nutrition, safety, and even mental
The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners met on Thursday, May 21, 2026, approving over $5.6 million in expenditures covering infrastructure, affordable housing, public safety staffing, and election operations. The session moved through a wide range of county business, with each item on the agenda carrying real consequences for residents across Lycoming County. Among the most
It was an overcast, cool May afternoon. Intermittent showers and a persistent wind made any outdoor activities uncomfortable. The May flowers that dared to show up after an April of similar circumstances shivered on their stems as overnight temperatures dropped into the freeze warning zone. Enough already. Simply stated, it wasn’t much fun. In a
The alarm sounded off at 3:57 a.m., and after some last-minute packing, I was headed down the driveway at 4:54 for the 7-hour drive to Kazabazua, Quebec. I had only slept for a couple of hours after packing the night before, but the excitement of what I hoped was to come kept me alert as
I have always been interested in wildlife, and I have no doubt that this has had a lot to do with why I have spent the last 40 years of my life as a wildlife artist and illustrator, and as an outdoor writer. While the hunting seasons are nonexistent right now, I am still constantly
Adequate and affordable housing is one of the great needs in America these days, and the Greater Lycoming County area is no exception. In a bid to help lessen this problem, the Greater Lycoming Habitat for Humanity (GLHFH) organization will be conducting a “Blitz Build” during the two-day period of June 6 and 7. A
Summer is calling. If you have kids who require care over the summer months, chances are you’ve booked the camps, scheduled the vacation, and maybe even set a daily itinerary. Now for the fun (or not so fun, depending on your view) of checking in with your swimsuit collection to see if it’s up to
Wow, what a journey it has been for America’s Pastime in the West End of Williamsport. Between what is now known as Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field and Original Little League, the birthplace of Little League Baseball, there are just not many places in our Nation blessed with such deep-rooted baseball tradition. Who
If you are reading this, I’m already gone… OK, that’s a little dramatic. I’m just on vacation. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken this much time off, and honestly, I’m not sure what to do with myself. Actually, that’s not quite true. I’ll be keeping busy, and it’s sure to be an adventure!
This will be a season of baseball fun and action, as well as commemoration, when the Williamsport Crosscutters celebrate and commemorate the 100th anniversary of Historic Bowman Field. It certainly justifies the title of “historic,” having been the scene of great and noteworthy baseball and non- baseball events at the uptown ballpark. Founded in 1926,
Our hearts beat more than 100,000 times a day, often without us giving them a second thought. But when that steady rhythm feels irregular — fluttering, racing, or skipping — it can be unsettling and may be a sign that something isn’t right. These sensations, known as heart palpitations, are common and often harmless, especially
Lycoming County commissioners gathered last week to confront a set of challenges that strike at the heart of what makes a community function, from the safety of its streets to the soundness of its finances. The most urgent item on the agenda was a growing crisis among local youth. Commissioner Scott Metzger sounded the alarm
I am very loyal to Lycoming Creek. It is where I do 94% of my fishing. There is no need to travel when you routinely catch fish. Backyard kids. I have successfully navigated its entire length. From her headwaters above Ralston to the mighty Susquehanna. Bodines to Camp Susque. The old airport and Powys. Haleeka
As we are reminded by attending a local SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) gathering, as our country approaches its 250th celebration, baseball and sports in general hold a very special place in our community’s history. ‘Historic’ Bowman Field will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this summer. Eighty-eight years ago, Carl Stotz stumbled over a
A diamond on a mountain shines above Deer Lake, and its name is Fighters Heaven. The village of log buildings that Muhammad Ali built in the early 1970s still welcomes visitors with the same warmth and purpose that animated its creation. The place feels alive with the spirit of a champion who told the world,
You bet I like to fish, but I’ll be honest: it’s not just the act of fishing I enjoy; it’s the catching that I really like. It’s seeing and feeling that strike, then fighting that fish successfully to the net, that really makes fishing fun and exciting. The problem with fishing, however, is that there
For outdoorsmen who are about to spend an increasing amount of time in the out of doors in the upcoming months, it is only a matter of time until you come in contact with ticks. Whether you are fishing at your favorite mountain stream, camping at a nearby state park, or working on food plots
I’m a big advocate for people wearing whatever they are most comfortable in, especially while on vacation or traveling in general. Everyone has their personal preference, and while some of us are more than willing to sacrifice a bit of function for the sake of fashion, there are definitely a few “won’t wears” I have
As we kick off the summer season with Memorial Day, please take the time to think about how very blessed we are to call our great Nation home. There will be so much going on wherever you look — from picnics and family get-togethers to graduation parties to folks taking advantage of the long weekend
Memorial Day is often considered the unofficial kick-off to summer. With that, we are once again kicking off our summer giveaway! It’s another year for our Great American Cookout giveaway! We have a grill courtesy of Elery Nau Hardware and gift cards to Rupert’s Specialty Meats and Frosty Beverage! That’s everything you need to start
The year was 1966. On television, “Batman,” “Star Trek,” and the “Monkees” premiered; Robert C. Weaver became the first African-American Cabinet member when he was named to head the new Department of Housing and Urban Development; the Baltimore Orioles won their first World Series; the Green Bay Packers captured the NFL championship, and the Boston
May is a time when the weather changes. Many people are active and spend time traveling, adventuring outdoors, and taking in the warmer, longer days. May is also Trauma Awareness Month and given the increase in activity, the perfect time to review the most common causes of serious injuries in our area and the everyday
The Lycoming County Commissioners continue to navigate the delicate balance between modernizing local government and protecting the wallets of local taxpayers. During their most recent weekly meeting, officials addressed several operational decisions that connect directly to the broader financial realities facing the region. These administrative choices take place against the backdrop of a carefully managed
It was not the way they had hoped their softball season would end. Two walks, a misplayed infield fly rule, leading to a seeing-eye outfield single plating two sixth-inning tying runs, as the game momentum switched and carried visiting Bucktail to an eight-inning 8-4 win over South Williamsport on the Mounties Senior day. It was
I had the chance to see some action. I will try to get to at least one game each spring. The Backyard Brawl provides the opportunity. I can watch all of my friends. I have tons of relationships with all four teams. Jensen played with many of these kids growing up. I am cool with
