The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl this Sunday. The championship trophy that they will be vying for bears the name of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. One former Williamsporter, Heinie Miller, had the distinction of coaching Lombardi in an all-star game in 1937. Henry J.
Nope, this is not about looking for wood sheds, tool sheds, outhouses, or any other type of outbuilding. This is the time of year when bucks begin to drop their antlers, and hunting for these sheds is a passion for whitetail hunters. There is some thought that temperature changes or fluctuations trigger the shedding of
Flight Risk is a short, swift thriller directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg as the bad guy. Despite a measly 21% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, the movie does its job reasonably well, managing to hold our attention despite a poorly thought-out script. Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery plays Madolyn Harris, a U.S. Marshal charged
I know turkey season is over, but like many hunters, I’m always on the lookout for game — especially turkeys. Spotting flocks of turkeys now, may lead to some potential hunting sites — especially when spring gobbler season rolls around. I’ve been seeing turkeys here and there all fall and into the winter months, but
Wow, the fact that the Eagles Mere toboggan run is on the front cover tells you what kind of January weather we’ve had. It’s the first time in over a decade the Eagles Mere Volunteer Fire Department has been able to benefit from the topography and winter weather in Sullivan County. It is an amazing
That’s right, y’all! After 11 years, the famous Toboggan Slide in Eagles Mere is set to re-open on Friday, January 31st! Before we get to the details, let’s go over the history a bit! Created by the volunteer fire company, the ice toboggan slide has been delighting winter visitors since 1904. According to the group’s
Even though 2025 has only just begun, we’ve reached a sort of “end” in Webb’s Weird Words: namely, the letter Z — as we finish our look at oddball vocab using X, Y and Z. Despite the letter’s relative rarity in English, I found such an abundance of oddball Z-words that I’ve divided my end-of-the-alphabet
I found myself driving home from a game. The Millionaires were on the road. We made two trips to the greater Harrisburg area this week. No worries. I enjoy my time on Route 15. I listen to music and think. I felt bad for my behavior last night. I was in rare form. I am
It’s nearly impossible to watch or review Clint Eastwood’s new thriller without harking back to the 1957 classic 12 Angry Men. And that’s a good thing. According to user-reviews at IMDb.com, that granddaddy of all courtroom dramas is the sixth-greatest movie ever made. Eastwood’s latest, Juror No. 2, deliberately evokes its beloved forebear — while
It was a lesson learned long ago when my interest in journalism was in its infancy. A scribe well-versed in the occupation passed on his warning – ‘If you ever become a columnist, don’t include your personal opinions regarding politics or religion in what you write.’ That advice is spot-on, as those of you who
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer when caught early, thanks to effective screening tests and vaccination. Yet, many women remain unaware of the critical steps they can take to protect themselves. January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of education, prevention, and regular
The Williamsport Crosscutters’ Hot Stove League Banquet, held recently, was a night of baseball, recognition, and charity — and may have been a way to chase away the chilly winter blues. The event was highlighted with an appearance by Montoursville’s National Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Mike Mussina, as well as ESPN commentator Tim Kurkjian,
When I was an international business trainer, I often opened a session with an icebreaker. My favorite was to ask the group what the difference between a leader and a manager was. It is a trick question because the name itself is the definition. A leader leads, and a manager manages. This crossed my mind
Earlier this month, officials at the Lycoming SPCA raised concerns about its continued ability to provide low-cost spay/neuter vouchers. Apparently, this cry for help has started to be answered. According to Alexa Daniels, Marketing and Development Director for the Lycoming SPCA, that plea is being answered in a big way by one generous donor. Pamela
I was watching television the other night; it was a program that was fun and entertaining and one that I’m sure many of you have also seen. The half-hour program is called “World’s Funniest Weather” and features people who are caught on video making dumb mistakes or who fall victim to some kind of indoor
Since 1996, the population of monarch butterflies in the Eastern United States has declined by about 90%, and one of the biggest reasons is loss of habitat. Monarchs need early successional vegetation, with all the various flowering plants, such as goldenrod and milkweed, that often can be found in fallow fields, such as fields that
Now that we’ve settled into the cold-weather season, I’ve been keeping a lookout for elevated winter outfit inspiration. I know it’s easier to while away the season in soft pants and puffer coats, but every so often, it helps to leave the house in a polished — dare I suggest sophisticated? — look to tackle
I know, I know. Not Jimmy. Don’t worry, he’ll be back next week. Honestly, I’m not even 100% sure where he is. Sometimes he’s harder to keep track of than the elves I bring from the North Pole for the Christmas Coloring Contest. He left this morning mumbling something about scoring bucks and possibly going
The stage of the Community Arts Center will be again be alive with the sounds of the Uptown Music Collective as they take the stage to perform a show called “Music That Made the Movies: Soundtracks That Rock.” On Saturday, January 25. This electrifying show, presented by UPMC and chosen through the UMC’s annual People’s
During cold and flu season, it can be challenging to differentiate illnesses like the common cold, flu, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and norovirus. Each show distinct symptoms, modes of transmission, and treatment approaches. Knowing what you’re dealing with can help you make informed decisions about care and prevention. The Common Cold Symptoms: Runny or
As much as our modern society has precautions and systems to prevent fires, they still happen, even in the wealthiest of areas. This is evidenced by the massive wildfires in California, specifically in the Los Angeles area, where over 180,000 people (the population of Lycoming, Clinton, Sullivan, and Union counties combined!) had been evacuated from
I’m sure it’s no secret that me, my wife, and several of my buddies love to spend time on the ice during the winter months. Over the last few years, safe ice has been hard to come by, but fortunately, we were able to get on the ice several days at the end of December.
There are good days and not such good days to head to the woods to do some habitat work. The past few days, with temperatures below zero and wind chill temperatures well below zero, were not good days! But as things warm up a bit and we return to more comfortable conditions; it will be
In 2021, Pantone’s color of the year was “Very Peri,” a vibrant periwinkle with violent undertones, which was quite cute and unoffensive. For 2022, they switched things up and offered two shades, “Ultimate Gray” with “Highlighter Yellow,” and those were harsh days indeed. Then, 2023 saw “Viva Magenta,” which set lipstick and nail polish choices
ARIES – Mar 21–Apr 20 Aries, you feel loved and appreciated this week and you would like to share those feelings with others by being supportive of their needs. Focus your attention on a close friend. TAURUS – Apr 21–May 21 Taurus, even if you do not have anything in common with someone, you can
Days after Penn State’s hopes for a national championship were dashed by a series of questionable play calls and lack of execution, the topic of conversation at a church social gathering was predictable. While second-guessing is nearly 100% accurate, the Nittany Lion fans present never-the-less vented their feelings and disappointment over Notre Dame’s 27-24 win
It’s time to go back to the drawing board, or painting easel if you prefer. The Pennsylvania Game Commission has announced its 2026 Working Together for Wildlife Art Contest, with entries due by May 2, 2025. The 2026 featured species is the barn owl. One or more barn owls can be featured in an original
Much love, folks. I trust this New Year is off to a great start. My heart goes out to those in Southern California. I have touched base with my parents concerning the fires. They reside in West Hollywood. All is well for them, but they know many who were impacted. My father has sent me
There were some specific topics I planned on covering prior to January 20th that I’m just not going to get to this week. I can’t even imagine how any president coming into office would begin fixing the problems facing our Nation based on the events that have unfolded after the November election. Based on my
Hey there, Pennsylvania drivers! When it comes to staying safe on the road, it’s always a good idea to be prepared for the unexpected. That’s where the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) comes in with a fantastic service that lets you easily update your emergency contact information. Trust me, this small step can make a
