Pennsylvania’s fall turkey season is over, the bear season has ended, and the regular firearm season for deer ended on December 14. For many of the Keystone State’s hunters, the end of the rifle deer season signals that it is time to clean their rifles and shotguns and that the hunting season has ended. But
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 It’s easy for your mind to wander and get caught daydreaming, Aries. You could be feeling a little restless and in need of a change. A vacation or a night with friends may just do it. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, even if you are trying to save money,
The year was 1964. It was a momentous and interesting year in almost every field of endeavor, from popular culture to politics and many things in between. That year’s most spectacular event in popular culture was the advent of “Beatlemania.” Four lads from Liverpool dominated that year’s music charts. In the week of April 4,
With the exception of the upcoming Flintlock deer season, our deer hunting is over in most states. When we run into our hunting buddies, the photos come out, and the success stories follow. Most of the racks are what many of us would consider “average,” but now and again, a really nice rack comes up.
It’s possible you just might have noticed a slight focus on Christmas in the last several issues of Webb Weekly. That’s certainly the case with my own recent articles; but since some readers won’t get their Christmas-week copy till 12/26, I was stumped on a theme for the year’s final batch of “Weird Words.” And
As the song goes, “You better watch out, you better not cry, better not pout, I’m telling you why — Santa Claus is coming to town.” And as we all know, Santa has a particularly unique vehicle for his midnight deliveries: a sled with flying reindeer: Dancer and Prancer (they are sisters), Comet and Cupid
As we recover from Thanksgiving but with many more celebrations ahead, you may find it challenging to not overindulge this holiday season. Perhaps you also hosted—or were a guest—encountering food allergies or sensitivities that might need more attention in your next gathering. With a little preparation and communication, everyone can enjoy the holidays without compromising
As many of you will receive this publication the day before Christmas, it is appropriate to reflect upon the famous Clement C. Moore poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas. Telling about the visit from the jolly one, Moore’s poem concludes with the one-line message, “Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!” Christmas
My good friend Nick Tagliaferri and I WERE somewhat celebrities. We took advantage of our impressive coaching resumes. SPENCE TAG RADIO was well before its time. A weekly part-time gig had many listeners. No advertisers. I truly believe that we were the first local PODCAST. But our success only lasted for one season. We broke
It’s hard to believe Santa’s midnight ride is less than a week away. The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is in full swing at our Webb Weekly office. I love getting a preview of all the children’s artwork as it comes in for our Annual Blaise Alexander Christmas Fun Coloring Contest. The effort
Well, y’all. This is it. We are down to the Christmas wire! Before you ask, no, I’m still not ready. I will be. Promise. I’m just not there yet. In the meantime, let’s talk about the final days of the holiday season. There is still plenty of fun to be had and things to do
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 Aries, a special person in your life deserves all of your attention. Romance might be on your mind, and you’ll look forward to all of the time you can spend together. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 You may feel artistically inspired this week, Taurus. Explore projects like home improvements or
On December 7th, the Lycoming Clinton County Homeschool Association (LCCHA) held its 1st annual Homeschool Science Fair at the Pine Street Methodist Church in Williamsport. The event occurred between 2 and 4 p.m. with 29 participants in three age groups (5–8-year-olds, 9–12-year-olds & 13+). Students were given parameters to work under, which included a question
I realize our regular firearms deer season is over for this year, but if you were not able to tag that deer, there are still some opportunities left. Our statewide flintlock deer season for both antlered and antlerless deer runs from Dec. 26-Jan. 20. Sure, you have to put that high-powered rifle with the scope
The holiday season is full of faith and celebration. Even though people may believe this important time begins at the start of December, for millions of the Christians, the Twelve Days of Christmas begin with the birth of Baby Jesus on December 25 and continue through the Epiphany on January 6. The Epiphany, also known
In a move that many baseball observers thought was badly overdue, feared slugger Dick Allen, along with former Pirate great Dave Parker, were elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame last week. He narrowly missed in two previous tries, including one time by just one vote. Allen joins other Bowman Field alumni, Jim Bunning,
Truth to be told, there really is no way to please everyone. Take the weather, for instance. Imagine that it is summer, and it is a bright, sunny day. Is this weather good? I enjoy a nice, warm, sunny day, so I am quite happy. On the other hand, a farmer who might be desperate
One of the joys of part-time scribing is getting to know so many great local kids involved with sports. We meet up in high school, and then we stay in touch. Sometimes, I will do a college or even a professional follow-up. Yes. It is grand. There is an impressive list. Both boys and girls
The holiday season is a wonderful time filled with family gatherings, festive decorations, and plenty of treats. But the season also brings certain risks for kids, from choking hazards to potential injuries with holiday décor. Here are some simple safety tips to keep your holiday joyful and your kids safe.

As the strains of Auld Lang Syne ring out on New Year’s Eve, longtime Little League International President and CEO Steve Keener will enter retirement and turn over the mantel of leadership to Pat Wilson. Appreciably, he took the time to reflect upon his experiences with Webb Weekly. WW: How satisfying has your career been?
Charles Schulz’s beloved Peanuts has inspired no less than 50 different television specials; but of course, the best and most beloved is the one that started it all: A Charlie Brown Christmas. Last week in Webb, I named that as my single favorite holiday movie; so now let’s expand a bit with background and trivia
Following up on last year’s list, your Webb movie-critic herewith offers another batch of under-the-radar holiday movies for seasonal screening: Comfort and Joy (1984) – How’s this for an unlikely premise: A popular Glasgow disc jockey, devastated by a recent break-up, somehow becomes the go-between in a turf war between two firms of competing ice-cream
The first snow and cold was right on time for the opening of buck season. It reminded me of days gone by when the winter weather always welcomed in the season. I have always loved getting out in the woods and enjoying the beauty of that fresh blanket of snow. This year was special for
Y’all. I am not a fan of the cold. I don’t understand the people who like to spend time outdoors in general, but certainly not when the temperatures are lower than my age. But, it’s also the holiday season, so let’s find some Christmas cheer — but inside Christmas cheer! Here’s a fun, simple DIY
Fundraising for the local Salvation Army is more than the Red Kettles you see in front of area businesses. For the past 21 years, the annual Festival of Trees has been added to it. It is a great way to see some beautifully decorated Christmas trees and support the Salvation Army by voting for your
Ridley Scott doesn’t make bad movies. In fact, many of his titles that are not merely good but genuinely great: Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, The Martian — even lesser-known gems like The Duellists (1977) and Matchstick Men, from 2003. With Gladiator II, the veteran director adds another masterpiece to his resume. It’s a bit more
When it comes to heading off into the woods in search of that big buck on the opening day of rifle season, we all have our own approach. As those of us who hunt already know, opening-day hunting tactics have changed considerably over the years. Basically, there are three approaches to pursuing deer: an organized
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. Dubbed ‘rivalry weekend,’ the concluding week of the college football regular season lived up to its billing, featuring exciting games and upsets with positive results for Eagles and
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to the readers of the Webb Weekly. I especially thank those of you who check out this page. Your feedback and praise mean the world to me. I enjoy sharing these columns. The winter sports scene is now in full swing. I look forward to many more adventures — even a few
