Thanks to Editor Steph for holding my spot on Page 2 last week. If you read her column, I left the office, and I was bound and determined there would be fireworks above the Market Street Bridge on the 4th of July. And that’s exactly what I did, although it might have gone unnoticed by
I want to take a second to tell you about an office visit and fundraiser. For those of you who don’t know, I graduated from South Williamsport in 19-mind-your-own-business. At the time, my guidance counselor was Fred Wood. Mr. Wood stops in the office to see me from time to time, and I always appreciate
The red carpet will be rolled out, and the atmosphere in downtown Williamsport near the AMC Theater will resemble a glitzy Hollywood movie premiere when the Second Annual River Valley Film Festival kicks off on Friday evening, July 17, beginning at 5 p.m. The event will feature vendors, music, food, and a literal red-carpet experience
Why would anybody want to go fishing after dark? I’m an avid fisherman, but I’ll be honest, I’ve had no interest in heading out fishing these past couple of weeks due to the sweltering heat and intense sun. I can’t imagine sitting out in the middle of a lake in a boat with temperatures pushing
Last week, we explored summer jewelry trends and how they can elevate warm-weather basics. Last month, we did a rundown of summer scarves. But necklaces and kerchiefs aren’t the only accessories for summer you can use to experiment with your style. With temperatures rising, staring into your closet most mornings during a heatwave often leads
Many people experience occasional forgetfulness as they age, such as misplacing keys or forgetting a name for a moment. Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia are different. They involve changes in memory, thinking, language, judgment, or behavior that become significant enough to interfere with daily life. What Alzheimer’s Disease Is Alzheimer’s disease is the
While the smoke from the various fireworks shows celebrating America 250 has long since faded away, the sights and sounds of the holiday spectacular remain vividly entrenched in my memory, as does the reluctance and disdain emanating from those using the very freedoms provided by this country to bash the nation, even on the occasion
This time of year, as the sun has set and darkness takes over the landscape, a magical thing begins to happen across the lawns and fields throughout rural Pennsylvania. It is the appearance of fireflies! Each summer, as they begin to show up dancing about in the night sky, I quickly flash back to my
I don’t know about you, but I am totally glued. I can’t get enough. I watch every minute of every game. I have always been a fan, but this is quite wild. No matter who takes the field, I am tuned in for each game. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is legit. Setting records on
You are correct. I am not in fact Jimmy. As of this writing we are a couple of days ahead of the 4th of July, and the last I saw him he was headed toward the Market St. bridge bound and determined to get us fireworks one way or another. Hopefully I don’t need bail
The Lycoming County Commissioners moved their weekly meeting to Wednesday, June 24, breaking from their standard Thursday schedule to address an urgent matter that demanded immediate action. The shift signaled the gravity of what was about to unfold. Data center development has accelerated across Pennsylvania, and Lycoming County suddenly found itself at a crossroads. The
One of the easiest and chicest ways to update your outfit in the summer is with jewelry. I’ve been opting lately for simple garments like pull-on linen pants, white tanks, and Velcro-strap sandals for my daily look. In general, summer style has fewer layers, lighter fabrics, and plays into a “throw it on and go”
If you enjoy good food, tractor pulls, demolition derbies, great grandstand shows, agricultural displays, and arts and crafts, the 155th Lycoming County Fair in Hughesville is the place to be. County fairs like the Lycoming County Fair started as events where local farmers showed their best livestock and crops. Over time, they have grown into
Wrenched – Nefarious – Business – Attitude. Should the league, now ‘celebrating’ its 30th year of existence, be looking for a new marketing slogan, they are welcome to use this one. No charge. It fits them well! Showman P.T. Barnum is credited with saying, “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” The rationale being
Although we are at the beginning of the summer season, it is not too early to focus on fall food plots; in fact, the time could not be better to begin the process. To do it well, there is planning, research, and fieldwork to do, and with the drier weather we seem to be having,
I used to be a fan of summer, but I don’t do well with the heat. I am a big guy who tends to sweat, and I shouldn’t be allowed to wear my gray tees. The temperatures are getting close to 100 degrees. It’s miserable. The humidity is what kills me. Last week I was
I’ll be quick to admit that calling in a turkey is one of my favorite hunting adventures, and if I managed to pick up a gobbler every year in Pennsylvania, I would be tickled pink, but that doesn’t always happen. Of course, some hunters are successful every year, and there are even some hunters who
There has been way too much negativity across our Nation in the last year, we need to leave it in the past and move forward full speed ahead. The United States of America is truly the greatest shining light of freedom and opportunity the world has ever seen. Our One Nation Under God must remember
Some people love Christmas, for others it’s Halloween… For me? It’s the 4th of July. Fireworks! Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood! Fireworks! Punny t-shirts! (Mine says ‘Abraham Drinkin’ with a pic of Honest Abe with a beer.) Fireworks! American flags as far as the eye can see! Fireworks! And no pressure to go, do, or
“You can’t complain about your plate being full if your goal is to eat.” That is a quote from Nick Bare, and I thought it was awesome. I have mentioned before how much I enjoy listening to him, but this one really got me thinking. Recently, just for fun, I did a “day in the
There will be a spectacular and vivid fireworks display to celebrate this nation’s 250th birthday, which will take place after all, at the Lycoming County Fairground after some scrambling and the unselfish efforts of Van Michael, Backyard Broadcasting, and various sponsors. We at Webb Weekly thought it would be interesting and informative to have Van
The Lycoming County Commissioners faced a fundamental problem at their recent meeting. The zoning ordinance they had been relying on to regulate data centers was written in 1991 and last amended in 2021. Neither version anticipated the scale and resource demands of modern data centers. These massive operations consume enormous amounts of electricity and water,
In part 1, we reviewed patches, serums, moisturizer, hand cream, and body wash, all of which are prep work for the essentials we’ll run through as we continue exploring the standard product types in a robust beauty and skincare routine. Part 1 focused mostly on the face and body, but hair oil and treatments are
By Lou Hunsinger, Jr. As we get ready to celebrate the 250th anniversary of this nation’s birth, it might be interesting to look back just 50 years to remember what things were like during the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976. It was a time when institutions, both private and public, went out of their way to
My extended family and I are currently in Glacier. A stunning National Park in northwest Montana. We return Sunday. Fantastic times. Totally off the grid. But there is free Wi-Fi. My article is loading. Glacier NP is outstanding. She spans over one million acres of super rugged terrain, pristine pines, turquoise lakes, and flowing waters.
If you live in a country setting like most of us do around this part of the state, we are used to spotting an assortment of wildlife roaming about the nearby forests and fields, and even our backyards. Over the past few weeks, we have had a couple of black bears walk by the house,
Fifteen months before the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, the fight leading to the birth of our nation rang out with the battle of Lexington & Concord. That April 19, 1775, skirmish amounted to spring training for the Revolutionary War, with the scoreboard showing Minutemen 1, Redcoats 0. On that historic day, 49
