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
Although vision loss is typically associated with aging, people of all ages can experience issues that contribute to diminished vision. Sometimes parents may be unaware that their children have low vision or other issues compromising their sight, particularly when children are too young to verbalize their impairments. The Mayo Clinic notes additional symptoms, such as
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
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window — one of that director’s most consummately brilliant and entertaining films — turns 70 this year.

Whether or not you’re able to

Labor Day provides an opportunity to enjoy one last long weekend with fun in the sun, barbecues, pool parties, and vacations. Although summer officially ends on Sunday, September 22, 2024, Labor Day typically marks the unofficial close of the summer entertaining and recreation season. As individuals and families prepare to fire up the grill or
Studying is vital to academic performance. At the dawn of a new school year, students get a fresh start to improve upon or continue strong their study habits. Teachers will be rolling out their curricula, and that may feel overwhelming. However, optimizing study skills can boost confidence in school and in areas outside of the
If you’ve had an amazing summer of love and have said yes to the proposal, it’s time to spread the good news. What better way to share your joy than with an amazing engagement photo?

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
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.
One of the most unique and explosive motions in sports is the overhead throwing motion. Throwing a baseball, softball, or football overhead places extremely high stresses on the shoulder and elbow. In order to put velocity into a thrown ball, power is generated from the ground with the lower body, transferred through the core into
Much has changed since the very first Little League World Series. The national exposure these boys and girls receive nowadays is insane. ESPN and its affiliates not only cover the entire tournament but are now televising most, if not all, of the regional games. Don’t get me wrong, folks. I am loving every moment, and
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.
As we watched the games of this year’s Little League World Series unfold from our iHeart Media broadcast location, partner Ken Sawyer often commented favorably on the dedication of the volunteer managers and coaches and their efforts in leading their teams to Williamsport. While the Series itself is a ten-day 24-7 commitment, the time spent
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.
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
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

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
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
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
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
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
