  • Death0

    Things had not gone at all the way Judas thought they would. He was convinced that his teacher, Jesus, was the Messiah sent by God to set Israel free from Roman rule. Traveling for nearly three years with Jesus had given him a front-row seat to powerful teaching and astonishing miracles. Judas could hardly wait

  • The Roving Sportsman… Seeking Sheds0

    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

  • Turkey Sightings

    Turkey Sightings0

    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

  • A Just In, Breaking News Exclusive, and More0

    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

  • Winter Outfit Inspiration0

    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

  • “Juror No. 2” … Or Is It “12”? Eastwood’s Gripping Courtroom Drama0

    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

  • Political Pervasiveness0

    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

    Long before Moses lost his temper and struck the rock in the desert, there was another time his anger got the best of him and resulted in a hard fall. The story is found in Exodus 2. One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched

  • County Hall Corner: The Amazing Manager Matt McDermott0

    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

  • Figuring Out Y: Weird Words From Our Penultimate Letter0

    As we wrapped “Weird Words” for 2024, your local vocab-lover focused on oddball terms starting and ending with the letter X. (This was an effort to finish out the Xmas theme that suffused our issues throughout December.) So it seems logical to follow that with sets of words employing Y and Z — either at

  • County Hall Corner: Fired Up!0

    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

  • The Roving Sportsman … Hinge Cuts and Brush Piles0

    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

  • Fire and Reality0

    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

    Baby, It’s Cold Outside0

    Here we are in the deep heart of winter, mid-January. How’s everyone holding up? Baby, it’s cold outside! I love winter. I think it is beautiful, and the air feels clean, but lately, it has been so cold. I mean, we live in Pennsylvania. It’s mid-January. This is expected, for sure. And honestly, we have

  • The Ruffed Grouse0

    Believe it or not, the hunting season is not over yet; several species of small game can still be hunted. Squirrels, pheasants, and rabbits are still in season until the 28th of February, although pheasant hunting is pretty much limited to those areas that the Pennsylvania State Game Commission stocks. Like a lot of hunters,

    In the weeks leading up to Christmas, apparently, San Francisco 49ers’ linebacker De’Vondre Campbell was devoid of the spirit of the season. During the third quarter of his team’s game against the rival Los Angeles Rams on December 12, Campbell refused to take the field and enter the game, thus committing the cardinal sin of

  • County Hall Corner: Why the Press is Depressed0

    I generally attend the weekly Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting and sit in the back with my other local press colleagues. I truly appreciate how objectively honest these journalists are. Their columns are straight up and accurate. It seems like a lifetime ago when newspapers simply told what happened, and the editorial page would be the

    The recent news of the death of former President Jimmy Carter at the ripe old age of 100 recalls memories of his April 24, 1976, campaign visit to Williamsport, specifically, Brandon Park. Carter was locked in a highly competitive race for the Democratic Party’s 1976 Presidential nomination against Congressman Morris Udall, Washington Senator Henry Jackson,

    Over the years, if you had asked just about anybody in the country what our national symbol was, the response most likely would have been the bald eagle. The eagle, after all, has been used as our national symbol since 1782, appearing on the Great Seal and being featured on official documents, coins and bills,

    The final deer season throughout the state is about to wrap up. While various predator-hunting is still available, most hunters consider the hunting season “a wrap” until the state spring gobbler season sneaks up on us on May 3, 2025. “Snowbirds” will begin migrating south to bask in the warm southern sunshine, but most of

    Famed film director and producer Andy Warhol once was quoted as saying, “The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting.” Although Warhol’s words are still with us, they cannot be applied to last week’s much-hyped first round of the NCAA college football playoffs, which, after months of ballyhooed buildup, lacked both the excitement

    It’s possible you just might have noticed a slight focus on Christmas in the last several issues of Webb Weekly.
