  • County Hall Corner: Are Tariffs Terrible? Maybe — And Maybe Not0

    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

  • Pooches, Penguins & Promises: A Tribute to Naomi Watts0

    Your Webb critic has two favorite actresses. One — though she’s really before my time — is Golden Age golden-girl Myrna Loy. For years America’s favorite wife, Loy starred in the marvelous Thin Man movies, and was partly responsible for the bullet-riddled end of John Dillinger’s criminal career. (Look it up!) My other fave is

  • Pennsylvania’s Hawks and Falcons0

    Pennsylvania is home to a number of hawks as well as some falcons, and like a lot of others, I’m always trying to identify which one of them I’m looking at.

  • The Roving Sportsman… An Update Regarding Ticks!0

    The tick of greatest concern in our area is the black-legged tick — often referred to as the “deer tick.” They do not exclusively feed upon deer but instead prefer to attach to small mammals such as mice and chipmunks and occasionally birds. They will also feed on large mammals such as raccoons, deer and

    For a person such as myself who tries to follow what is happening in the Oval Office, the Trump Administration is very hard to keep up with.

    It might not compare with the annual swallows return to Capistrano, which occurred March 19, just two days before the Mounties returned to Myrtle Beach, but the South Williamsport softball team’s return to the Grand Strand Tournament was made to prepare them for the demanding schedule awaiting them in the 2025 season.

  • “A Night at the Opera”: Repasz Band’s Spring Concert0

    Folks of a certain age might recall “Night at the Opera” as the name of a best-selling Queen record — the one with “Bohemian Rhapsody” on it. For those a bit older, that title also invokes the Marx Brothers’ classic comedy from 1935. But for Lycoming County music fans this spring, it means another exciting

    As we continue transitioning from winter into spring, I’ve been looking around for some outfit inspiration. Some wardrobe staples are simply meant to be worn together, such as the classic white t-shirt and jeans look or blazer and loafers.

    For the past couple of weeks, Webb’s Weird Words has been looking backward. To be specific: On March 19, we reviewed the Greek and Latin origins of medical terminology; and then on 3/26, we covered Medieval terms that are also health-related — like phlegmatic, bilious and lily-livered. Now that spring (and April!) have arrived, we’re

  • Finding a New Place to Hunt0

    Area hunters are truly blessed with State Game Lands encompassing thousands of acres nearby where they can hunt.

  • How Time Outdoors Can Benefit Mental Health0

    Nature beckons billions of people to get outside every day. Natural settings are not called “the great outdoors” for nothing, and nature enthusiasts may insist there’s nothing better than a day in the elements. Such a sentiment may be more accurate than the most ardent outdoorsman realizes. In fact, the American Psychological Association notes that

    As March rolls around, it signals the beginning of the wild turkey breeding season when folks of hens and gobblers begin to mix.
