  • Celebration0

    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

  • Spring Outfit Ideas0

    We’re in the midst of spring, and it’s been fairly nice out, but still chilly and somewhat fickle weather-wise. Those types of days (colder mornings, hotter afternoons) and days that call for you to wear many hats (figuratively speaking) can be challenging to dress in a way that’s appropriate, comfortable, and stylish. Fortunately, you can

    In recent weeks at Webb’s “Weird Words,” we’ve extolled a relatively new addition to the august ranks of trustworthy English dictionaries: The Microsoft Encarta College Dictionary. Though it’s been around for nearly for 25 years, I only just learned of it — and I’m gladly surprised by its thoroughness and reliability. So, for this week’s

  • Hunter & Smith: Good Guys0

    As the anticipation of Christmas faded in the distance and the new year quickly approached, news media outlets filled their space with ‘lookbacks’ of 2025, which, in all too many instances, recalled a year filled with much tragedy and violence. As a “Webb Weekly” contributor since the first issue of the publication, those who read

  • County Hall Corner: Par for the Course0

    In the labyrinth of local government, where perception often masquerades as reality and cynicism drowns out progress, the December 11, 2025, meeting of Lycoming County commissioners revealed a tale of two narratives that perfectly encapsulate the challenges facing our community. The golf course debate continues to captivate public attention, though perhaps for all the wrong

  • Bowling0

    Although it may be ancient history to many, “Bowling for Dollars” was a popular TV show airing in the 1970s. The show’s format was simple; contestants could win cash and prizes based on their bowling performance. The uproar created by the College Bowl Selection Committee’s December 7 announcement of the twelve teams to participate in

    Penn State is still looking. The Nittany Lions decided to fire longtime coach James Franklin back in October. The fans and alumni were furious. It was a bold move. And unfortunately, AD Pat Kraft has not found a replacement. Many of the candidates have used this opportunity to land extensions at their existing schools. The

  • How to Style an Oversized Shirt0

    Button-down shirts come in a variety of shapes, sizes, prints, and fabrics. They can be a basic white shirt that is your office go-to, or of the frilly floral variety for an evening out. This season, the oversized version seems to be on trend, and while you might think there’s only one way to wear

    The leaves of October hadn’t yet started to fall, but the month’s second week produced a cascading plummet of rooting hopes for a bevy of area fans whose favorite team’s championship aspirations came crashing to the ground.

  • Fall Wedding Guest Dress0

    Wedding season is often associated with summer, but the most popular months to say “I do” can fall (pun intended) later in the year. Maybe it’s the foliage or the welcome relief from the heat, but fall weddings are definitely a refreshing change from a sweltering June outdoor wedding or an August-humid resort ceremony. However,

    After a recent closet clean-out and a mid-40s birthday, I’ve begun to consider how my personal style has changed in the last decade, after getting older, having kids, dealing with illness, and being drawn in and out of ever-changing trends. Here lately too often I’ve been standing in front of my closets full of clothes

    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

    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

    Being from the Pennsylvania Wilds, it always tickles my funny bone when I see high fashion’s take on rural-coded trends or traditional country styles. However, in a world of fast fashion and quick trend cycles, it can be a comfort to get back to timeless, classic pieces. Hence, the resurgence of countrycore, defined by barn

    Days after Penn State’s hopes for a national championship were dashed by a series of questionable play calls and lack of execution, the topic of conversation at a church social gathering was predictable. While second-guessing is nearly 100% accurate, the Nittany Lion fans present never-the-less vented their feelings and disappointment over Notre Dame’s 27-24 win

    The Nittany Lions reached the College Football Playoffs. They won two games and made it to the semifinals.

They were one game short of a national championship appearance.

    Famed film director and producer Andy Warhol once was quoted as saying, “The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting.” Although Warhol’s words are still with us, they cannot be applied to last week’s much-hyped first round of the NCAA college football playoffs, which, after months of ballyhooed buildup, lacked both the excitement

    It is probably a safe assumption that the leftovers from the Thanksgiving feast were devoured well before the four-day holiday football indulgence gave way to December’s arrival.

    I was sixteen when I first heard about a swimming hole the locals called The Big Forty. It was an abandoned slate quarry that had partially filled with water. The hole got its name from a forty-foot-high cliff along the south side. The water was clear and deep, and the cliff was high and steep.

    It was a sun-splashed, gorgeous Norman Rockwell-type September Saturday afternoon, uniquely perfect for college football. Accordingly, we decided to take the two-hour drive to Alfred, New York, to watch grandson Tucker’s Juniata College Eagles in action.
