ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 You may have a renewed sense of energy and motivation right now, Aries. Capitalize on that to tackle a laundry list of projects that have been sitting on the back burner. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 Taurus, your sense of humor and quirky personality could get you a few extra
While Webb’s Weird Words has been looking at pronunciation for the past several weeks, we now return to our regular bailiwick: oddball terms and funny-sounding vocab. Since this column dropped the ball on Webb’s recent LLWS theme (if you’ll pardon the pun), we’ll make a slight connection here in this column: Our now-childless household enjoyed
It was over 70 years ago that I first set foot in the woods of Northcentral Pennsylvania and began a lifelong pursuit of hunting everything our state had to offer — from grouse and squirrels to black bears and whitetail deer. In the 1950s, the generally accepted philosophy when it came to harvesting does was
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window — one of that director’s most consummately brilliant and entertaining films — turns 70 this year. Fathom Events honors the occasion with a special screening of the 1954 masterpiece on Wednesday, August 28th at AMC in Williamsport — accompanied by commentary from critic Leonard Maltin. Whether or not you’re able to
The exciting “Vibe Campaign” of Vice President Kamala Harris was best outed by the popular author and columnist Mark Steyn when he identified it as the “Vibe as Veil Campaign” because it did not seem to have anything behind it. All of her speeches centered around the dangerous, no-good, very bad former President Donald Trump.
Resisting the weeknight urge to call for takeout or order delivery starts with an approachable at-home menu with recipes you can prep in an instant. Especially during back-to-school season when schedules are jam-packed with activities, easy meals and desserts you can rely on allow you and your loved ones to ease tension in the kitchen.
The other morning, while having coffee, the subject of fishing deep came up. Now, I know that it’s hard to believe that something involving fishing would come up with a bunch of guys having morning coffee, but it does happen from time to time. One of the guys just returned from a few days of

It’s the most wonderful time of the year to be a sports fan living here in the West Branch Valley. The long list of events highlighted by the 77th playing of the Little League World Series has been amazing. I don’t even know where to begin, other than I would be remiss if I didn’t
We are down to the last few days of the Little League World Series, which means the unofficial end of summer. The kids are headed back to school, and I’m sad about it all! I hate the end of summer…I don’t even get a whole new wardrobe anymore! No one buys me new sneakers, either.
Much love to those who are in town for the Little League World Series. The games are underway, and I continue to marvel at those smiling faces. Jensen is older, so we might not make it over to Lamade and Volunteer, but our televisions are tuned in to ESPN. I also want to give some
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 You are the master of leaping before looking, Aries, and this week is no different. You are not satisfied with hanging back and assessing the situation before acting. You’re right in the mix. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, do not pretend to be a neutral party when two people
As the school year gears up and the season slowly shifts, many of you may be planning some fall photo sessions. Over the next few articles, I’ll be dissecting what to wear and how to coordinate for the perfect shot to share with loved ones for years to come. First up, we’re tackling the family
The Lycoming Law Association Foundation has awarded three law students, Hannah Anderson, Eli Wilk and Abigail McCoy, the Joseph L. Rider Scholarship. The Foundation established the Scholarship Fund at the end of 2023 with the intent to annually award up to three $1,000 Scholarships to County Residents attending law school full time (scheduled to finish
Coming back from a trip to Ohio, I entered Pennsylvania and was greeted with a very big road sign that said, “Welcome to Pennsylvania – Pursue Your Happiness.” I know our state officials who designed this welcome sign probably thought they were clever in borrowing a partial phrase from the Declaration of Independence. It is
Obviously, the recent weather pattern has had no mercy on those of us who want to pursue a little fishing. You might be alright on a lake, but the streams and the Susquehanna River need some time to recuperate. I spent the latter part of last week at a cabin on the banks of Kettle
If you did a survey, particularly of older hunters, I bet most began their hunting days by tramping the woods in search of squirrels. They were certainly an upland game that I targeted in my early days of hunting. Today, there seems to be less interest in spending time hunting squirrels, yet there remain many
The pride, joy, and delight felt in welcoming a newborn into the family is likely mixed with fear and nervousness. After all, your new roles as parents will last for decades to come. Breastfeeding is often thought of as a gift between birth parent and baby. Not only does it provide bonding time, but the
As the Little League World Series rushes headlong towards Sunday’s championship game, from my vantage point behind the iHeart Radio microphone, it has been a week of personal reflection on several counts. As many of you know from past columns in this very space, Little League Baseball has been my lifelong companion. I was introduced
Welcome to everyone visiting our little corner of God’s green Earth for the 77th playing of the Little League World Series. Congrats to the teams, fans, and all involved as you complete this amazing summer journey. A tip of my cap with the American Flag on the side to Little League Baseball President and CEO
Well, y’all, it’s that time of year again! It’s a little bittersweet. I absolutely love the Little League World Series and the attention it brings to our little corner of the world, but it also means that summer is coming to a close, which always makes me sad. It feels like the older I get,
Adding one day of games in which tickets are required and celebrating two notable anniversaries are among the new, notable things that will be happening at this year’s 77th Little League World Series. In previous years, the only games that required tickets to view the games were on championship weekend, but this year, the games
According to author Bill Bryson, the record for most allowable pronunciations in English is held by two unusual words: hegemony and phthisis. Each, he claims, can be said aloud in nine different ways. While I could not verify that online, I won’t contradict Bryson, whose bestsellers include A Short History of Everything (2003); A Walk

This year’s open house schedule is listed below in order by date: Williamsport Area Middle School will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 20 for seventh-grade students
Lycoming County government will be less active in the next couple of weeks, just as many other organizations in our community will be in full swing because of an annual event that literally put Williamsport on the map — the Little League World Series. It is often easy to take for granted something that is
Even though returning to school is on the horizon and the end of summer is calling, the days are still humid and hot. And we are probably looking at a warm and sticky fall. In years past, you may have been preparing to pack up your linen items by late August, but linen is no
For several years, on a nearby property, I have been observing an increasing spread of milkweeds and goldenrods in fields that have been placed in the CREP Program. Some songbirds nest in these fields, deer will occasionally feed through them in search of certain plants that they like, and rodents, such as mice and moles,
I suspect some people are looking at the title of this story and thinking, “You don’t have to tell me it’s snake season; I already know that they are in my yard!” I’ll admit that I’ve always been intrigued by snakes. As a young kid growing up, I loved to go out and catch snakes
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 Aries, you hold the key to success right now, so everyone wants to be in your corner. Take things in stride and maintain your focus while accepting all the support.
