Well, hey there, y’all — it’s that time of year again! Bittersweet, like that last s’more of the season when the marshmallow’s perfect but you know swimsuit weather is about to be replaced with school supply aisles. Yep — it’s Little League World Series season in Williamsport! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it
The eyes of the sporting world will again be on South Williamsport when the 78th Little League Baseball World Series begins play this week.

Though not exactly a household name, the comedy team of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker — colloquially shortened to ZAZ — seems to have perfected the spoof movie genre with their uproarious Airplane! (1980) and three successful Naked Gun movies (1988-94). Wikipedia points out that spoofs had been around since the days of silent film, generated
The weekend of July 27 was a red-letter weekend for late baseball slugger Dick Allen and his family, friends, and supporters. But one person may have savored and enjoyed the weekend more than anyone else, and that was Allen’s son and namesake, Richard Allen Jr. It was a time of triumph and reflection as he
Even during a heat wave, denim is part of most folks’ weekly or even daily uniform. It’s such a versatile and durable fabric, which makes it quite functional during a hot, hot heat. But what of wearing denim with denim, aka the Canadian Tuxedo? Is that appropriate for summer, or a fashion faux pas? While
As I’ve talked to hunters over the last few weeks, there seems to be some confusion as to the implementation of the recently passed law removing the ban on Sunday hunting throughout Pennsylvania. I reached out to the Pennsylvania Game Commission for a clear understanding of the new law and just when it is to
Among the huge assembly required to welcome 20 teams and around 300,000 fans to the Little League Baseball World Series in South Williamsport are Pennsylvania College of Technology students and staff. Baking and culinary students and staff from the college’s Le Jeune Chef Restaurant are set to prepare meals for the competing teams, while paramedic
Bass fishing and, in fact, fishing in general this year has been a bit of a challenge. High and often muddy water, combined with high temperatures, has made some fishing trips more challenging. I think I began to realize the effects of the warmer temperatures a few weeks ago when my wife and I struck
I would personally like to congratulate the 20 teams that made it to Williamsport for the 2025 Little League World Series. This is my favorite time of year, as our lovely backyard provides the perfect backdrop to the greatest youth sporting events on the planet. I love the entire tournament, and I am looking forward
Over the many years traveling up and down Route 15, it would be impossible for me to count the countless times I have driven past Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland. Most times I drive by, I’ve noticed numerous cars in the parking lot and say to myself, ‘someday I’ve got to stop in., but I never have.

Well, y’all — it’s that time again. Lycoming Crossings is whispering back-to-school sales, Walmart’s notebook shelves are already picked clean, and your teenager has entered their final form: a nocturnal, snack-consuming, eye-rolling machine. I’m not ready; you’re not ready, but time keeps on tickin’, tickin’ tickin’… Back-to-school season is upon us, whether we’re ready or

Caftans, also known as “kaftans,” are loose-fitting robes with a rich history and are available in a variety of modern styles. Originating in Asia, these oversized tunics have been worn by a number of cultures around the world for thousands of years.

No, I am not about to compare my and my wife’s fishing expertise, and besides, even if I claimed to be number one, she proofreads all of my stories, and something tells me that claim wouldn’t make it to press. No, I’m not comparing people’s fishing abilities, but rather this piece is about the fishing
We all know it’s not a good idea to procrastinate. In fact, there are rarely any occasions when it is a good idea to wait until the very last minute to do what you know simply has to be done. The benefits of accomplishing tasks early far outweigh any poor excuses for delaying that which
My son Jensen and I just got back from an adventure. We met up with Grandpa Jim for a few days in the backcountry. My father drove up from California. Jensen and I flew into Billings, Montana. He met us at the airport, and we headed straight to Red Lodge. The van was packed. Tons
Although it does not have its own zip code, as happens each year, a small village is emerging adjacent to South Williamsport’s Little League complex. Talented people are gathering at ‘ESPNville’, preparing to tell the world what is happening at the Little League World Series. TV and the World Series predate ESPN’s arrival. In 1963-64,
Sometimes I have no idea what I want to write about on any given week. Sometimes, I know all week what I am going to write about on Friday. And sometimes, like this week, I have a couple of topics that I want to touch on, but none of them are hearty enough to stand
For the sixth straight year, the Clinton County SPCA will be holding a unique fundraiser called the “Furry 5K and 1 Mile Dog Jog.

This week’s headline nods to the fact that the movie Jaws is now 50 years old; but it also admits that a single Webb article can’t possibly cover all the fascinating facts about this film: the actors; the music; the box-office bonanza; Peter Benchley’s original book; and of course, the infamous rigors of actual production,
It has been over half a century since my grandfather, Ira Martin Witt, passed away, yet I am happy to say that to this day, I still have his favorite pocketknife. It rests securely within the walls of a safe, as I am fearful that if I carried it, it would join so many others
Every summer, I find it’s necessary to change up my makeup. A change to my makeup routine is a necessary pleasure. Sweltering heat, rising humidity, and icy blasts of air conditioning don’t exactly make the best conditions for the cosmetics I use in the winter and spring. And while there are a lot of beauty
I guess change is a common thing in the world we live in, but to be honest, the older I get, the less I like having to deal with changes. That being said, it’s probably no secret that we hunters will be looking at a number of changes to our game regulations. One of those
For anyone who has ever shot baskets at a driveway or playground hoop, you know the feeling. All alone, you take a few dribbles as an imaginary clock counts down in your mind. 5-4-3-2 and just as the ‘clock’ hits 1, the ball is released skyward towards the awaiting hoop. As the ball swishes cleanly
