  • Just Don’t Ask for a High Chair and Bib0

  • Things to Do: Spring Spectacular!0

    Steph Nordstrom

    The calendar claims that spring starts this week. Sitting here on the Friday before and looking at the long-range forecast, Mother Nature would apparently beg to differ. It’s nice that it isn’t dark, or almost dark when I get home from work though, so I’ve got that going for me. For arguments sake, we are

  • The Roving Sportsman: Creating a Management Plan0

    Jon Pries

    Most people would agree that if you are serious about accomplishing a goal, you need a plan. This becomes even more critical when you are looking at a complex set of goals and time and money may be limited. Such just might be the case if you are a landowner, member of a hunting club

  • Breaking the Barrier0

    Gerry Ayers

    Running an errand from Loyalsock into Montoursville on a cold, snow-covered afternoon, a moving, jumping object caught the corner of my eye. It was a stray deer trying (in vain) to jump a roadway fence and get onto the bike path. Try as she might, she couldn’t scale it by trying to leap it. So

  • Happy New Year!0

    Steph Nordstrom

    So clearly I am not Jimmy. He will be back next week, but I stole his space to give him some credit that he would never think he deserves. Jimmy does a lot for the community and the people in the community and it goes mostly unrecognized, and I think everyone deserves a thank you

    Gerry Ayers

    The white, bent, rusted pole that held the “Tall Fox Novelties” sign remains close to the curb on Broad Street in Montoursville. But the orange, blue and white Rexall thermometer in the alley by the old store is long gone. Let me bring you some warm memories on a cold day. Maybe you frequented one

  • Outdoors with Ken Hunter… What Color is a Deer?0

    Ken Hunter

    When I was just a young fella, my grandfather would take me hunting with him. His way of hunting deer was to hit the woods at a steady stride and cover as many miles as possible in a single day. Every mile or so he would suddenly stop and point and say, “There goes one.”

  • The Jaded Eye … Writer Retrospect0

    Gerry Ayers

    There aren’t back issues of Webb Weekly stacked in piles like cordwood around my house like Car and Driver or Road and Track. The auto periodicals stay put.

    Jon Pries

    Last week, I broke the mold, so to speak — instead of writing about hunting, shooting, fishing or outdoor adventures, I shared something that was happening in my personal life. Today, I am happy to pen what Paul Harvey would say is “the rest of the story.” This past weekend, my family and some friends

  • Doing Away With Distracted Driving0

    Press Release

    The evidence is clear: Distracted driving can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

  • The Jaded Eye… Catching Up With “The Catcher in the Rye”0

    Gerry Ayers

    Is there relevance in a book written 66 years ago in today’s society that is so wrapped up in itself? That’s the question I asked myself when re-reading and digesting The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger. The book’s main character, 16-year-old Holden Caulfield, lets it be known he is undergoing treatment in a
