I have known the Loner family for a long time — another one of those relationships born and forged through baseball.They are a great family that gives so much back to our community. It was a few weeks back when I caught up with mom, Patty, and son, Sean, at Bowman Field during a Penn
I know that I don’t delve into sports very often, but sometimes things just play out that way (pun intended). The fact that I regularly joke about not running unless I’m being chased makes this even more ironic. But let’s ignore all that and talk about Kylie Temple and the amazing year that she has
Most people think they must travel to Philadelphia or New York to see quality professional theater entertainment. However, we have it right here in our own backyard in Mill Hall in Clinton County at the Millbrook Playhouse. They have been entertaining the area since 1963. It was organized as a non-profit corporation in 1963, Millbrook
Extensive research has revealed there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Queen’s We Are the Champions is the ringtone on Gabe Sinicropi’s phone. But the Crosscutters organization has every reason to be proud. “It is a very positive thing to point to,” Sinicropi, the team’s director of marketing, echoed, referencing the Crosscutters 2024
When you spend as much time on the water as I do — you always catch a few. And while some days are certainly better than others — you occasionally have those fantastic once-in-a-lifetime experiences. These nights are extremely rare. I can count them on my fingers. Last evening was not one to . I

At the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on Thursday, May 22, I thought I was in for a remake of the movie “Rocky II” when Muncy Township supervisor candidate Terri Lauchle returned to follow up on the issues she brought up several weeks ago about the old Lycoming County Mall complex. It led to another back
The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., will kick off the 2025 Summer Learning Program with special activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 14. The Library’s Summer Learning Program is an opportunity to keep children engaged in reading and learning over the summer, whether at home or in the
While a great heel will always have its place, who amongst us really wants to be tottering around in high heels during the hazy days of summer? For my money, flat shoes are dominating this season’s warm-weather wardrobe. From barely-there leather sandals to flip-flops to nostalgia-inducing jellies, summer flats can be both comfortable as well as
Nine free concerts in 28 days. That’s what Williamsport’s world-famous Repasz Band has lined up for the summer of 2025. Venues and occasions include local parks, annual festivals, summer holidays, nearby nursing homes, a national convocation in Gettysburg — and even two brand-new sites where the group has never played before. Just a few weeks
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
Spring is in full swing, and summer is rapidly approaching! Pop-up showers, along with the occasional thunderstorm and all-day rains, have turned the brown fields into lush green. For weeks now, the tree swallows and bluebirds have been busily flying in and out of their bird boxes as they lay and hatch eggs and begin
Every spring, like a lot of other folks, I find myself scanning the countryside for the newly arriving fawn deer. Most of our adult does in Pennsylvania start giving birth between mid-May and the end of June, with the birthing season peaking around May 30th. I actually spotted my first fawn a couple of weeks
The Boys of Summer are back at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field. I can’t wait to get up to the ballpark and see my good friends, Rhashan, the Director of Smiles who I promoted to VP of All the Fun, the multi-hat-wearing VP of Marketing and Public Relations, Gabe Sinicropi, who also does
June is all but here, which means it’s time to celebrate one of the fluffiest, sassiest, and most independent companions out there — the humble house cat! Yep, it’s officially Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and there’s no better time to open your heart (and your home) to a furry friend in need. Every year,
For the first time in a little more than 20 years, the Williamsport Crosscutters will seek to defend a league championship they won the previous season when they open their season at State College on June 4. They begin their home schedule on Friday, June 6. The other teams of the MLB Draft League will
Memorial Day has come and gone, and with it, it brought what most folks consider to be the first day of summer. Forget the meteorologists and calendar makers who have decreed that occurrence doesn’t happen until June 20; it’s Memorial Day that signals the beginning of summer fun! Originally known as Decoration Day, the last

Commonly referred to as “Happy Valley,” State College is known for its carefree living and is the home of the Pennsylvania State University. This community of 40,700 has been designated one of the least stressful places to live in the United States by Psychology Today. Even so, State College has a robust economy and unemployment

About 160 middle school students recently experienced the promise of careers rooted in science, technology, engineering and math during the second annual STEMFest at Pennsylvania College of Technology. The students — representing schools from Clinton, Lycoming, Northumberland and Tioga counties — engaged in a series of hands-on activities, ranging from concrete science to robotics. ed
Personal fragrance comes in many forms and, for my money, is the final touch on any outfit. While I’m a firm believer in having a signature scent, I also think the change of season lends itself to switching out your go-to perfume for a fresh musk to match your warmer-weather looks. Think about it: does
Journey Bank is pleased to announce the top 14 finalists from local area high schools who will perform at the 15th Annual Journey Bank Teen Star Musical Competition.

One of the most often asked questions I hear is “when is the best time to hunt turkeys?’ The first week of our spring season is preferred by many and there are those who are convinced that the last week of the season is the best time to call in a lonely gobbler. For sure
When you look at the title of this story, you would think I’m talking about some of the lousy, rainy weather we’ve been dealing with this spring, but I’m actually referring to something positive. What I’m actually talking about is the outstanding fishing that can be had during the spring days and particularly for black
Hats off to my friends at the Lycoming Creek Anglers. I give them lots of credit. These guys and gals make our fishing experiences much more splendid. Yes. We have battled some rain and high waters, but this spring has been fantastic. We are so spoiled. I finally snuck out for a few casts. I
Before I get to my Memorial Day thoughts, I have a quick business item to cover. Recently, I’ve been asked where the Webb Weekly is moving to. See, we are currently going through some sprucing up and looking for a new tenant for the office next door to our Kane Street location. Folks, I guarantee
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! As always, we are thrilled to bring you a fabulous giveaway, courtesy of Elery Nau Hardware, Rupert’s and Frosty Beverage. This year, we’re stepping the
This weekend, we will be observing Memorial Day. It is the weekend that generally ushers in the summer with picnics and other festivities, but many have forgotten Memorial Day’s true meaning. It is important to recall its history and why it exists. According to a website devoted to Memorial Day, there is evidence that
I enjoy listening to Lycoming County Director of Voter Services, Forrest Lehman, every time he speaks in public. He has a ion for his office, and it is obvious that those who work for him and with him think very highly of their director. When Lehman speaks in public, mostly at the Lycoming County Commissioners
