On a cold day this past winter, Orlando Rodriguez with Rich Port Adventure Company and Laura Kitner from TK TacKle were discussing a plan to organize a Youth Kayak Safety Course this summer. After reaching out to Laurel Green with Montgomery Parks and Recreation for a location, a simple safety course for the kids quickly
Since I already did rave reviews of “Top Gun: Maverick” for other local venues, this Webb column honors that crowd-pleasing sequel with background and trivia on both films. The follow-up to the No. 1 box-office hit of 1986, “Maverick,” has already soared past $300 million worldwide, doing so without original director Tony Scott, original co-star
It’s safe to say summer is officially here. These temps have been hot already, and we aren’t even to July and August yet — but I’m ready. I’ve been really looking forward to summer this year, though, which is saying something. I love all the activities of summer, just not the humidity. With my new
The world is a mess. It was a mess yesterday, it’s a mess today, and it will be a mess tomorrow. If anyone tells you differently, they’re selling something. The world has been a mess ever since pride in the human heart decided it didn’t need God. That primal error has resulted in an unending
Working in the garden this week, I took notice of all the blossoms on my daughter’s strawberry plants we started three years ago. The best time to plant strawberries is early spring.

No matter what type of trip I’m going on, the hardest part of packing for me is toiletries. You have your basic hygiene items like toothpaste, deodorant, and soap. No big deal. Once you get into skincare, hair products, and cosmetics, it can be tricky figuring out your beauty regime “on the road.” In general,
Wow, I blinked, and it’s June. Unbelievable. I’m finding out the truth about “the older you get, the faster time goes.” I don’t know where the weeks or months go. I am feeling guilty lately for how busy we have been. Do you ever feel like your weeks just constantly fill up so fast? I
Now that your garden is planted, you may notice that you have some extra room in your beds or unused pots. These are great spaces to plant herbs and annual flowers. Herbs are a great addition to any garden. Basil, rosemary, mint, dill, and oregano are a few that I enjoy growing every year. Most
Marissa Rumsey recently earned a spot on the Team USA freestyle wrestling team and is headed to the Pan American Games in the 132-pound weight class. 15-year-old Rumsey grew up in martial arts, participating in boxing, where she is 3-0, and training in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu. She began training at the age of five with her
This article marks the seventh anniversary of the Faith Conversations column appearing in the Webb Weekly. I confess, writing a column in a weekly paper was never on my bucket list. When Jim Webb first asked me to consider doing it, I turned him down flat. Why? Because writing publicly on a topic as divisive
Memorial Day weekend is one of my favorite long weekends. Honestly, it’s my favorite spring/summer holiday! It’s the kick-off to summer! NOT that I love the stupid hot weather in the slightest. I just look forward to this long weekend and all the fun the warmer weather brings. I love the Rock-n-Roll 500 on 99.3
