I have never been a fan of zombies. I remember in the late 70s when “Dawn of the Dead” was the big movie. I had no interest in seeing it. When I go to the movies, I want to laugh and be entertained. I have never been into the blood, gore, and things that go
Spring is trying to spring. Though I don’t know that we’ve quite hit that ‘out like a lamb’ portion of the month yet. With April Showers being right around the corner, it seems like a good time to take advantage of the last of the ‘inside days.’ By now Spring Fever is hitting the kids
What a great time to get out and about and enjoy all the happenings early Spring has to offer. There is definitely something for everyone that calls the West Branch Valley home. It is so nice to hear the singing of the robins in the morning and enjoy the sunshine upon returning home in the
Just like Little League marks the end of summer for me, the West Branch Builders Home Show marks the start of spring. I always look forward to spending a couple of hours at the show each year. It’s always nice to hear people’s thoughts, ideas and opinions on the paper. As usual we are doing
So let me get this straight…Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a 79-year-old self-proclaimed socialist, again wants to be the president of the United States of America. His last time out seeking the Democratic nomination I guess he just wasn’t experienced enough at age 75. He needed four more years of seasoning to grow his socialistic

What weather we’ve seen over the last year. You just don’t know what to expect. Last week snow and treacherous driving were on full display one day, followed by a beautiful sunrise and 50-degree temperatures the next. One thing’s for sure, March is just around the corner, and that sounds good to me. Let’s hope
Cold and flu season is in full swing and no one is immune. It’s been working its way through my house and our Webb Weekly office. Prevention is the key to keeping yourself healthy this winter, so here are some tips and tricks to keep you from getting sick this year. Sore throat and runny
In 2006, I set a plan to see all the remaining lower 48 states from the seat of a Harley Davidson. I had already ridden to and from all of the northeast — New England and the east coast states down to and including South Carolina by this time. I got a wall map, a
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about immigration and our Country is the welcoming Lady of Freedom, the Statue of Liberty. I imagine my Italian ancestors as they approached Ellis Island, and that brightly glowing torch extending toward heaven welcomed them. The relief and joy they must have felt after
Y’all. For real though. It feels like it’s been the longest winter ever. It’s like Winterfell around here. And I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to get out of the house. Now, you know how much it bothers me when people say there isn’t anything to do around here. Just in case you’ve
The family tradition of hunting in Pennsylvania began before Penns Woods had even become a state. In 1683 hunting was permitted as a right of ownership on all land covered by Mr. William Penn’s Charter. The family tradition of an actual “deer season” in the Keystone State did not begin until 1869. At this point
