I’d be the first to admit, and I don’t have all the answers when it comes to bass fishing. I’ve had my share of great days on the water, but I have also had some less than stellar days. I tend to approach river bass fishing a bit different than my approach to bass fishing

By BRETT R. CROSSLEY For the Webb Weekly WILLIAMSPORT—It was the exact start South wanted and the one Loyalsock might have dreaded as the first two batters reached and scored.

Wrestlers are tough. The sport, through countless hours of training in the mat room, produces competitors that are mentally strong, physically imposing, and capable of handling themselves throughout difficult situations. During a luncheon to honor Montoursville area wrestlers of the past and present, attendees got to see a softer side of wrestling. Longtime coach and

That city police are cooperating in efforts to eliminate double parking in the business district street is shown in the reports that at least eight motorists have been fined recently for parking in the regular parking lanes. Others have been tagged during the campaign, but the records do not disclose how many because of no
I love getting new shoes, don’t you? There’s just something about putting my best foot forward in a brand-new pair of shoes that gives me a bit of a rush. Of course, I love shoes whether it’s new strappy stilettoes for an event, or shiny new slip-ons for spring. What I don’t love is the
Seriously y’all, it has been a week for sure. I have seen and read some things this week that would make your hair curl. Some was horrifying, and some was just downright weird. But that’s OK. We don’t let the hate and weirdness get us down. We gather ourselves, try to continue our lives with
With the catch and immediate release of the bass season now over, and the regular bass season now underway many fishermen have turned their attention to bass rather than trout.

The local high school baseball season recently came to a close, and every summer I do my very best to give out props. Two of my friends had exceptional years at the helm.

So last year when I wrote about Pride Month, I got a lot of mixed reactions. I received a lot of really nice phone calls and emails, and I also got a bit of hate. For those who sent me hate — you may want to stop reading now. Cause I’m going to be straight

There’s a story about a man who was so committed to running his business that he never took time to do anything else. He never went to the doctor. He ignored all the little signs that something might be wrong until his health became so bad that he couldn’t work at all. He lost the
I have a confession to make. I stalk my children. I stalk my husband, too. I don’t know why I do it, actually. It’s a sickness, I guess — an unhealthy obsession with knowing exactly where my loved ones are at practically every moment of every day. Thanks to the fine people at Apple and
I think it’s safe to assume that most husbands and boyfriends do no put clothes shopping with their significant other at the top of their fun-couple-things list.
