You have a little shadow. All day long, wherever you go, your dog is right beside you. He goes from bedroom to kitchen, to the garage, to the TV; if you’re there, so is he. He follows you everywhere — as in the new novel, “Tomorrow” by Damian Dibben, he’d even follow you through the
In my travels the last three years to watch Jimmy play baseball in Olean, New York, I’ve made it to about every town that makes up the 12-team New York Collegiate Baseball League. From Hornell to Niagara, all the way across the state to Rochester and Syracuse, New York is truly a beautiful state. A

Young groundhogs, like the young of any species, are cute. But they quickly grow out of their “cute” stage and before long are spreading their wings and traveling to new locations, where they will burrow holes as entryways to their dens. All too often, these holes are a problem — either in open fields or
Soccer has been continually growing in popularity among young people, and one of the reasons may be people like Mike Sherman.

During a recent shopping trip, a conversation with an acquaintance turned towards the Webb Weekly. “I read your column, but why don’t you write more about national sports stories?” I was asked.

By BRETT R. CROSSLEY For the Webb Weekly BERWICK—It was a bumpy start for Keystone as it found itself in a four-run deficit after just the second inning of its Major Baseball State Championship game against Lehigh.

By BRETT R. CROSSLEY For the Webb Weekly BERWICK—Of Keystone’s big four pitchers, Brady Myers was the only one to not post a signature win as his team progressed through each postseason tournament.

Imagine, if you will, that you have a skill that has attracted the attention of an international employer.
