Social media has become such a key component of most people’s lives that it is easy to think that it as always been there. SixDegrees, created in 1997, was the first social media site similar to the format known today. When SixDegrees shut down in 2001, Friendster, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Facebook soon took root. The

The world learned a significant lesson about the importance of personal hygiene during the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from getting vaccinated, one of the single-best things people could do to prevent the transmission of the virus was to wash their hands thoroughly throughout the day, particularly after touching surfaces at stores, schools and other public places.
Pennsylvania hasn’t always had a spring turkey hunting season, simply because it didn’t always have enough turkeys to sustain one. Things are sure different than decades ago. The 2025 spring gobbler season is just about here. It starts with a one-day hunt for junior license holders and eligible mentored youth on April 26, from one-half
The one-day Youth Hunt for spring gobblers will be held this Saturday, April 26th. It is a day that many young hunters, as well as their adult mentors, have been looking forward to for months. It is held one week prior to the opening of the regular statewide spring gobbler season in order to give
Throughout my many years as a trout fisherman, one thing I was always sure of was that the streams and lakes would almost certainly be crowded on the first day of trout season in April. Many of you know what I’m talking about on that opening day: trying to make a cast and then retrieve
The trout season is now in full swing. The opening day crowds have died down. The weather is starting to warm. No more snow flurries, folks. This is one of my favorite times of year to fish. Once Warrior golf wraps up, I will get out as much as I can. Capturing a few photos
Nostalgia — “a longing for something far away or long ago” — that’s the way Webster defines it. Pittsburgh Pirates fan — “someone who supports the team and is passionate about their team. They may have a long history with the team or have become fans recently. Being a Pirates fan is often seen as
History is important because it is tough to know where you are going if you don’t know where you have been. Our country has a rich heritage that we should celebrate for the next couple of years, starting now. There are many countries in the world that are much older than the United States, but
Wedding season is upon us, and recently, a Webb Weekly staff member tied the knot. Congratulations, Steph! So, it got me thinking about what’s in and what’s out for weddings these days. Here’s a rundown of some trends I’ve seen following various wedding channels and hearing how friends are considering their own nuptials. First up,

Happy Easter; may you and your family enjoy a special day of togetherness. As the warmth of Spring renews life and raises the human spirit, so does the celebration of Easter. God’s greatest gift of his only Son and the message He brought to the human realm that ended with Jesus’ death on the cross

It is just over a week away until the one-day Youth Hunt for Spring Gobblers on Saturday, April 26, 2025. Then, the following Saturday, May 3, is the opening day of the month-long Pennsylvania statewide spring gobbler season. Those two Saturdays will sneak up quickly, so it’s “Crunch Time” to finalize where you will hunt
Aging and change go hand in hand. Although some may bemoan the gray hairs that start to arrive or stiffness in the knees that seems to sneak up on a person in middle age, such concerns are not necessarily enough to lose sleep over. However, many people 50 or older are nervous about the potential
Many of the hackers and duffers from all over the globe just tuned in for the very first major. I don’t know about you, but I find myself completely glued to the television the first weekend in April. Instead of fishing or shoveling the spring snow, I usually lock myself in the basement with a
In any decent dog film, it’s practically a given that the featured canine will die at the end. But how about a pooch-picture where death comes first? And where it’s actually the owner who passes? That would be “The Friend,” a dog movie that’s not just about dogs. In fact, with yet another stunning lead
As all those taxpayers’ envelopes have been dropped in the mail on the way to fund Uncle Sam’s coffers, I extend my belated congratulations to the Loyalsock Lady Lancers on their well-earned run to the PIAA AAA state championship.

Despite being pint-sized people, children can have some very big personalities and opinions. Parents know that kids have strong feelings on everything from the clothes they wear to the foods they eat. Although not all children are inherently picky eaters, most go through phases of picky eating during their childhood development, particularly when they are
Every government entity needs money to operate, and that money has to come from somewhere. When the USA was founded in 1790, the primary source for supplying funds was from foreign tariffs. In fact, until 1913, tariffs supplied 80 percent of the federal revenue. But supporting an army, navy, and marine corps when wars come

A few decades ago, it was posited that when the economy is hit hard, lipstick sales go up. This theory of the lipstick effect doesn’t have much hard data to support it, but I’d venture to say when faced with hardships, economic or otherwise, I understand the need for a great lipstick. Splurging a bit
Williamsport Area Middle School’s Odyssey of the Mind (OM) team will head to the 2025 World Finals after securing a first-place win at the state round on Saturday at Pocono Mountain East Campus.

Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes chronic, it can take a serious toll on mental health. While short-term stress can help us stay alert and motivated, prolonged stress can lead to anxiety, depression, and even burnout.
