    Jon Pries

    Snow geese and Canada geese have been flying north, and robins are more plentiful, and the intermittent snowfalls don’t take long to melt away.

  • Maintaining a Lawn Routinely Roamed by Pets0

    Family Features

    Vibrant, green lawns can draw attention to any landscape.

  • Give Your Living Room a New Vibe0

    Family Features

    An “out with the old, in with the new” mentality can extend to people’s visions for their homes.

  • Does Tea Have Medicinal Properties?0

    Family Features

    The common cold can strike at any time of year, but most people likely associate colds with winter. Colds tend to spread more easily in winter, when people typically spend more time indoors with windows closed, thus making it easier for colds and other viruses to spread. Many people have their own remedies when it

  • Invasive Species in Our Waterways0

    Ken Hunter

    It seems like the subject of invasive species, be they land-based species, aquatic plants, or animals, comes up more frequently these days. As a fisherman, I have noticed several new threats to our waterways, including invasive crayfish, zebra mussels, and the northern snakehead. Other species of fish, like the silver and bighead carp, while not

  • Beating the Winter Blues0

    Steph Noviello

    It’s official. We are at a pretty dreary time of year. The weather ain’t great. I’m fairly sure it rained for 27 hours straight last week. It’s cold, it’s dark, the post-holiday blues are rearing their ugly heads. I know the last thing you probably want to do is go outside. But the best way

    Steph Noviello

    “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.” —Neil Gaiman Well, y’all, I did it.

    Jon Pries

    Party, party, party — it’s what most folks do on New Year’s Eve to say goodbye to the previous year. Hopefully, our heads have cleared up by now from the revelries of New Year’s Eve, and we can take time to focus on what lies ahead in the coming year. So, steep a pot of

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    There are five fundamental rights listed in the first two Amendments to the US Constitution: – Freedom of speech. – Freedom of assembly. – The right to petition the government for grievances. – The right to bear arms.

  • The World of Weird Words0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Over the last month or two, Webb’s Weird Words has taken a largely thematic approach, with columns on animals, etymology, alcohol and a little-known linguistic item called a doublet. So now, let’s get back to our eccentric English exploration: plain old-fashioned oddball words. Here are 12, with another dozen forthcoming next week: Assegai (noun, ASS-uh-guy)

  • Stand Location in Archery Season0

    Ken Hunter

    It’s hard to believe, but another archery season is about to get underway, and as usual, I never feel prepared.

Fortunately, however, a lot of us have a

  • CWD – Still a Threat0

    Ken Hunter

    Unfortunately, CWD has not gone away, and in fact, it continues to expand its boundaries in our state. Prions, the infectious agent that causes a neurological disease, is always fatal.
