    Jamie Spencer

    I recently had the opportunity to touch base with Coach Ron Insinger. We had a fun chat before a summer league game on Monday. I wrote a great piece on 50 years of the CI CAMP, but… Steph just called and asked for my stuff. Wait? What? My email never went. My article was gone.

  • Pooches, Penguins & Promises: A Tribute to Naomi Watts0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Your Webb critic has two favorite actresses. One — though she’s really before my time — is Golden Age golden-girl Myrna Loy. For years America’s favorite wife, Loy starred in the marvelous Thin Man movies, and was partly responsible for the bullet-riddled end of John Dillinger’s criminal career. (Look it up!) My other fave is

  • V-Day Gifts for Men0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts for men can be difficult. You want to get something thoughtful that they like or can, better yet, use, not just some cheesy, heart-shaped throwaway. Plus, if you’re anything like me, you want your gift-giving level to be recognized and for him to reciprocate at that same level. Here’s a

  • McElroy Family on Candy Cane Lane 2023 My Christmas Happy Place0

    Andrea McElroy

    It’s been five years since I have shared why Candy Cane Lane is so near and dear to my heart. Having a view of that mountain with the street all lit up in my old bedroom window from the age of four till I was thirteen was a big part of it, but then something

  • Don’t Refudiate This Rubbage: Finishing Blends in Webb’s Weird Words0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Stiction. Rubbage. Tofurkey. Cockapoo. As we’ve seen here recently in our “World of Weird Words,” these oddball terms are known as blends. According to Wikipedia, this common linguistic phenomenon involves joining the sound and/or meaning from pieces of two or more existing words. For example: Dumbfound mixes dumb and confound. And in druthers, the last

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    With Father’s Day right around the corner, I was thinking about how best to change up standard gift-giving for dads. The cliched presents of ties and golf balls can almost be given ironically because it’s hard to show the father figures in your life just how much they mean with a single gift. This year,

  • Fighting Food Insecurity0

    Dave Bellomo

    Food insecurity can be defined as the lack of access to food of sufficient quantity or quality to meet a person’s basic nutritional needs. According to the Department of Agriculture, approximately 10.5% of all households in the United States were food insecure in 2020, which translates to 35 million Americans, including 10 million children.

  • Madness and Fools: Weird Words Through April 10

    Joseph W. Smith III

    You would hardly believe how many synonyms our language has for idiots, dummies, dopes, boobs, nincompoops, and morons. (OK, OK — so maybe you would believe it….) Since we all know — and often feel like — brainless people, I’ve been wanting to share these with my readers; and the approach of April Fools’ Day

  • Beating the Winter Blues0

    Steph Noviello

    It’s official. We are at a pretty dreary time of year. The weather ain’t great. I’m fairly sure it rained for 27 hours straight last week. It’s cold, it’s dark, the post-holiday blues are rearing their ugly heads. I know the last thing you probably want to do is go outside. But the best way

    Forget Thanksgiving; it’s been Christmas since November 1st, or so it seems in stores and in the fast pace of this month. Everyone I talk to feels like the season is flying by, and we’re all trying to keep our heads above water. There’s no more prepping for the week ahead; you must plan a

  • It was 20 Years Ago Today: A Look at Movies in 20030

    Joseph W. Smith III

    This week, your Webb movie critic honors his venue’s 20th anniversary with a look at films from 2003 — the same year this publication saw its inception (if you’ll pardon my mild cinematic pun). That year’s biggest smash was “The Return of the King,” netting over $1 billion while also tying “Ben-Hur” and “Titanic” for

  • A Renovation Update0

    Jamie Spencer

    The articles on sports get some high fives. But these freelance short stories get the most praise. I am totally serious. Our renovation is a popular topic. I am working on another pilot. Several weeks back, I mentioned that my father and I were building an addition. I am doing my best to chronicle the

  • UPMC Physician: Navigating Health Care as a Young Adult0

    UPMC Susquehanna

    Our teenage years and early twenties are a pivotal time of change in our lives. Young adults are simultaneously transitioning educationally or vocationally, legally, socially, and emotionally. Young adults take on the responsibilities of becoming an adult and navigating life, and managing health and wellness are a big piece of the life puzzle. From updating

  • Bloody Good Script: Brad Pitt in “Bullet Train”0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    I would have enjoyed “Bullet Train” a whole lot more if it weren’t so outrageously violent. It’s like someone took a decent script and handed it to Tarantino—except that director David Leitch seems to want to out-Quentin Quentin. Which is too bad, because the plotting is unusually strong for what seemed like a standard actioner

    A few weeks ago, when we were putting our daughter’s bedroom back together after a complete remodel, I caught myself saying something I hadn’t heard in a while.

    Jim Webb

    No matter who has been the president of the United States, I have never had more concerns about an administration and those calling the shots behind the scenes than the Biden administration. However, with Vladimir Putin’s decision to declare war and invade Ukraine, it doesn’t seem the right time to start questioning the how, what,

    Y’all. Despite living the majority of my life in central PA, I am just not built for how cold it’s been recently. As I write this, it’s a whopping 7°. That, my friends, is bull…nevermind… So right now, my only option is to stay inside as much as a I can. Here in the office,

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    It all started with the JCPenney “big book” that would come in the fall. Next came Speigel, then Newport News, then Victoria’s Secret. The arrival of a catalog always gave me a thrill. When I was little, I used to stare at the pictures, taking in all the details of the models, clothes, and accessories,

    There’s no one else like you in the world. No one with the same tongue-print or identical ear shape. Nobody else has your memories, and every experience you’ve ever had is unique to you alone. You might favor one parent or the other, you may have a twin or a doppelganger, but in the end,

    Simply put, I don’t care who you voted for or if you even voted. That is your business, and the less we all fret and fume over the outcome of the election, a better frame of mind we can enjoy can be realized. But there is one thing I hope you will take some time

  • Making Sense out of Chaos0

    Dave Bellomo

    I had an epiphany recently while having coffee with a friend. We were discussing why some people were successful at work and family and others were self-destructive, and tended to fall back into negative habits. Why some were kind and others were cruel. This was a complicated topic, no doubt, and I am certainly not

    Whether it is working out, washing the dishes, or just plain getting out of bed some days, all of us struggle to find motivation from time-to-time. According to Liz Huber, writer for the online business publication, “The Startup,” there are eight reasons we sometimes lack motivation. • Lack of a strong reason ‘Why.’ • An

  • Risen Grace: Taken By Passion, Part II0

    Tim Hartzell

    In the next part of William Booth’s Vision of the Lost, he focuses his attention on the people who had been rescued from the angry sea. What he sees is a strong indictment against Christians who are self-absorbed instead of being mission focused. This is hard to read because it hits too close to home

    Several weeks ago I experienced the ride of my life. Or, I should say “rides” of my life, as I dared myself to get up early on a Sunday and hitchhike as far as I comfortably could. Then try to return home (in one piece) within 24 hours using just my thumb. I’m sure your

    In a time when the media is taking a beating — being accused of being ‘fake,’ and often slanting to the left or right for their own benefit, it’s very existence threatened, let’s take a minute and put it to good use. No other print news in the area has the coverage that Webb Weekly
