After focusing on candidates for the past couple of months, let’s shift the focus to our own well-being. Many folks who are concerned about their health prioritize exercise, diet, and proper rest. But there is something else that is necessary that no one seems to mention. It is in your brain, and it has to
In my office, there is a sign that says, “In This Place We Always Salute Our Flag, Support Our Troops, Buy American, Say Merry Christmas, Say One Nation Under God, Respect Our Law Enforcement,” it then states at the bottom, “If This Offends You, There’s the Door,” in small print, “As We are Obviously Politically
Depending on when you get your paper, Halloween is officially behind us, or about to be. That means we now have a little bit of time to just be before the holiday season begins. I know that all the stores would have you believe that the holidays are right on top of us, but let’s
The people of Lycoming County and throughout this “Land of the Free” owe a lot to the military veterans who have served this country in peace and in war.

Yes. I am back at Lycoming as the Head Golf Coach. This is my second stint with the Warriors after a five-year hiatus. I was with the team from 2001 to 2016. I got out of the business and stepped away because of a midlife crisis. I retired from hoops two years ago. It left
The silence was deafening. More than 42,000 came early and loud to the South Philly Bank, credit and debit cards in hand, anxious to make a lifetime memory deposit of their beloved Phillies in what seemed sure to be a second consecutive trip to the World Series. But in the end, they were snake-bit. As
We are at the height of transitional dressing, friends, what with chilly morning temperatures and tepid afternoon highs. Add in a mix of sun, clouds, and rain, and it’s officially layering season! Layering garments can result in a bulky mess or an artful use of pieces that can transition from morning to evening, all while

I was talking to a lady yesterday about the upcoming deer hunting season. While she had no distaste for the idea of hunting, she revealed her dislike of the taste of venison by asking, “Do you eat the meat?” She explained that more than 20 years ago when she last tried a venison meal, “It
I made a trip to the Pennsylvania Game Commission headquarters a couple of weeks ago to deliver some artwork, and I decided to check out the bear check station located there as well. Pennsylvania’s statewide archery bear season runs from Oct. 17 to Nov. 4, and all successful bear hunters are required to bring their
You probably know that your sweet tooth affects your waistline, but did you know it can also be harmful to your heart? Sugar occurs naturally in all foods that contain carbohydrates, such as fruits and vegetables, grains, and dairy. Consuming whole foods that contain natural sugar is OK because our body is digesting these whole
Election Day is just around the corner, Tuesday, November 7th. In the past, the emphasis was simply getting the voting citizenry to get to the polls. It seems lately that there is more trepidation than anticipation when it comes to our annual practice of democracy in action. In light of this, it is good to
The year 1923 was a big year for professional baseball in Williamsport. In that year, the Williamsport team became a charter member of the newly formed New York-Pennsylvania League, later to become the Eastern League. Williamsport fielded a very good team in the new league that year and captured the league’s first championship. The team
Throughout the year, my staff and I have quietly mentioned and brought back some memories from the past 20 years of being welcomed into your home. Some days, it feels like we just began the Webb Weekly; other days, it seems like we’ve been doing it for 50 years. I’m sure you can appreciate this
Pssssssst! Hey kids! C’mere! Wanna have some fun over the next few days? Let’s talk about how we can max out everything Halloween. I’ll get you set up with enough candy to last until Easter! But here’s the deal. Your parents are only going to agree to this if you are on your best behavior.
It’s that wonderful time of year in which those scary ghouls and goblins inhabit our midst. We at Webb Weekly thought we would give you a brief run-down on some of the creepy and ghoulish things happening in the area as well as some tips that will help make it a safer time for those
So often folks refer to fall as sweater weather, and rightfully so, what with the dips in temperature and shorter days, who wouldn’t want to wrap up in cozy and comfy knitwear? However, another fabric to consider for this time of year is leather. Whether genuine or faux, leather has just as much of a
I know we are all caught up in deer hunting and fall turkey hunting, but fall is also a great time for gathering wild mushrooms. No, it’s not as exciting as nailing a big buck or calling in a nice gobbler, but collecting and preparing the right wild mushrooms can be very gratifying come mealtime.
A well-placed shot and careful field care of a deer are critical first steps to ensure great-tasting venison for the dinner table. Most will agree that quickly skinning the deer will aid in cooling the meat, but there is a school of hunters who will leave the hide on while the deer hangs in a
Genetic testing to discover ancestry is common practice and sometimes discovering your family history can reveal unexpected connections, new storylines, and a world of new relatives. But, there’s another benefit for some specific types of genetic testing. The genes you inherit can help doctors determine your cancer risk, including your risk for breast and ovarian
I have a nephew named Todd, who grew up in Lewisburg and had been living in San Francisco for nearly a decade. He recently moved back East and spent the weekend with my wife and me. I asked Todd if San Francisco was as lawless as we have been told. He told me that in
19-year-old Emma Mitchell has enjoyed horror movies and all things scary since she was a small child. She is using this love to compete in a national online competition called the “Face of Horror” that could yield her $13,000 and the opportunity to go to the Hollywood Hills to be part of a photo shoot
It was a bit early for Halloween, but as I flicked by the channels, remote in hand, I thought my eyes must have been deceiving me. Amid a Sunday full of NFL football, soccer, motor cross, drag racing, tennis, cornhole, pickle ball, and even a rodeo available on the TV screen, the Big Ten channel
I struggle when it comes to difficult questions. Sometimes, it is better not to ask. I continue to support and think of Coach Tom Gravish and his Jersey Shore Bulldogs. They have handled every curveball with class. It is hard to even comprehend. Words cannot describe how proud I am of this 2023 squad. I
2023 marks a mathematically tidy triple anniversary for War of the Worlds. First published as a book in 1898, H. G. Wells’s classic is now 125 years old. Exactly four decades later, the American filmmaker and radio personality Orson Welles aired his famous on-air adaptation, terrifying the East Coast with fears of an actual Martian
Before I get to the pure evil being witnessed around the world, I want to pick up where I left off last week — the complete debacle regarding the ousting of Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. I think it’s important to note that both locally elected United States representatives, Republicans Glenn “GT” Thompson and
I know, I know, it’s not quite Halloween yet, but that doesn’t mean that spooky season isn’t in full swing. With that in mind, I have a couple of crafts for the little to help kill time until Trick-or-Treating! This is also the 2nd week of our Guessing Ghosts contest, so be sure to keep
