    Peek-a-boo. Yep, somebody sees you there. You can’t hide, you’re too big to slink away unnoticed, and there’s no Boy Wizard to make you invisible. It wouldn’t do any good anyhow: for your entire life, you’ve left trails behind wherever you go, footprints and evidence of your presence and behavior. Just thinking about that might

    Most parents know that a child’s early years are formative and that their brain acts like a sponge. This is why early childhood education is critical in giving children a foundation for learning and setting them up for future social and academic success. According to the American Public University, a child’s early developmental stages bring

    Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes chronic, it can take a serious toll on mental health.

    Your Webb critic has two favorite actresses. One — though she’s really before my time — is Golden Age golden-girl Myrna Loy.

My other fave is

    Have you heard about….? Of course you have. It’s been all over social media for months and if you didn’t see it there, someone in your family said something about it or a friend did and you still think it’s untrue. It’s hard to fight nonsense, you know — although admittedly, it’s fun to read

    Pennsylvania is home to a number of hawks as well as some falcons, and like a lot of others, I’m always trying to identify which one of them I’m looking at.

    Jon Pries

    The tick of greatest concern in our area is the black-legged tick — often referred to as the “deer tick.” They do not exclusively feed upon deer but instead prefer to attach to small mammals such as mice and chipmunks and occasionally birds.

Now that spring (and April!) have arrived, we’re

    Nature beckons billions of people to get outside every day. Natural settings are not called “the great outdoors” for nothing, and nature enthusiasts may insist there’s nothing better than a day in the elements.

    Congratulations to Brandt Harer and Austin Johnson on bringing home state gold earned through their efforts on the wrestling mat.
