My son Jensen and I just got back from an adventure. We met up with Grandpa Jim for a few days in the backcountry. My father drove up from California. Jensen and I flew into Billings, Montana. He met us at the airport, and we headed straight to Red Lodge. The van was packed. Tons

No, I am not about to compare my and my wife’s fishing expertise, and besides, even if I claimed to be number one, she proofreads all of my stories, and something tells me that claim wouldn’t make it to press. No, I’m not comparing people’s fishing abilities, but rather this piece is about the fishing
Caftans, also known as “kaftans,” are loose-fitting robes with a rich history and are available in a variety of modern styles. Originating in Asia, these oversized tunics have been worn by a number of cultures around the world for thousands of years.

Sometimes I have no idea what I want to write about on any given week. Sometimes, I know all week what I am going to write about on Friday. And sometimes, like this week, I have a couple of topics that I want to touch on, but none of them are hearty enough to stand
For the sixth straight year, the Clinton County SPCA will be holding a unique fundraiser called the “Furry 5K and 1 Mile Dog Jog.

The 16U squad dominated the PA State and Middle Atlantic Regional. West End outscored its opponents 116-6 in those two tournaments. They were a perfect 9-0, and they
I have had a long stretch writing for Webb Weekly. I was looking forward to the November 11 issue this year as it would be my 700th article. And I was especially excited about the milestone next year, highlighting the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. However, I must sadly announce
This week’s headline nods to the fact that the movie Jaws is now 50 years old; but it also admits that a single Webb article can’t possibly cover all the fascinating facts about this film: the actors; the music; the box-office bonanza; Peter Benchley’s original book; and of course, the infamous rigors of actual production,
Women in their 30s and 40s may begin noticing physical and emotional symptoms related to changing levels of various hormones produced by the ovaries. Women in this age group also begin experiencing bone loss due to declining levels of estrogen. Women feeling these changes may ask themselves, “Is this perimenopause?” What Is Perimenopause?

It has been over half a century since my grandfather, Ira Martin Witt, passed away, yet I am happy to say that to this day, I still have his favorite pocketknife. It rests securely within the walls of a safe, as I am fearful that if I carried it, it would join so many others
I guess change is a common thing in the world we live in, but to be honest, the older I get, the less I like having to deal with changes. That being said, it’s probably no secret that we hunters will be looking at a number of changes to our game regulations. One of those
Every summer, I find it’s necessary to change up my makeup. A change to my makeup routine is a necessary pleasure. Sweltering heat, rising humidity, and icy blasts of air conditioning don’t exactly make the best conditions for the cosmetics I use in the winter and spring. And while there are a lot of beauty
For anyone who has ever shot baskets at a driveway or playground hoop, you know the feeling. All alone, you take a few dribbles as an imaginary clock counts down in your mind. 5-4-3-2 and just as the ‘clock’ hits 1, the ball is released skyward towards the awaiting hoop. As the ball swishes cleanly

As most of you know, Lycoming County Coroner Charles Kiessling and I have become good friends over the years. We have known each other for many years, but as we’ve worked together in the interest of public safety, our friendship and my admiration for the effort he puts in have grown. In addition to his
As a professional pet groomer, Taylor Yeagle has an already established commitment to the safety and welfare, as well as maintaining a healthy environment, for various types of animals.

By Joseph W. Smith III Last week, your Webb movie critic covered “Fifty Years Ago in Film” — prepping for my upcoming talk on that topic at Brown Library: 5:30 p.m. on 7/31. Trotting out the 10 biggest box-office hits from 1975, we briefly discussed the top two — Jaws and One Flew Over the
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s … what?! Another Superman??? Yes, summer 2025 offers yet one further iteration of the beloved Big Blue Boy Scout; and it’s no surprise if viewers can’t keep count of actors who’ve played the Man of Steel — going all the way back to
Well, are you ready for the upcoming hunting seasons? They will be here before you know it. By now, you probably have your hunting license and perhaps have even looked over your hunting equipment to see just what you need to upgrade or replace for this fall.

By someone who’s definitely not lactose intolerant but would risk it anyway Don’t ask me how I know, but July 25th is National Ice Cream Sundae Day, which means it’s the one day a year when it’s socially acceptable to have your entire daily calorie intake served in a bowl, covered in chocolate syrup and
Sometimes in child’s play, or a hacker’s round of golf, a ‘do-over’ is called. It is just what the phrase implies, a second chance to handle a situation differently. It’s not about pretending a first attempt never happened, but rather an opportunity to improve an action the second time around. For Williamsport Crosscutters manager Kenny
I’m sure it’s no secret that I’m an avid trout fisherman, but it’s been a bit of a challenge for us trout enthusiasts so far this season. For example, one day last week, I managed to get a couple of hours in for trout on one of our local streams; the weather was great, and
I was recently asked to tee it up in a major tournament. I used to love golf, but now it’s totally different. Yes. I still coach at my alma mater. I continue to enjoy my interactions with the Lycoming College Warriors. I don’t play much personally. It’s totally cool. I don’t miss it. I’d rather
As is often said, trends come and go, but style lasts a lifetime. This is said so often because it’s true. Jelly sandals, wide-leg jeans, off-the-shoulder tops, and the like will cycle through the zeitgeist every few years, but your inherent style, the way you express yourself, and how you embrace yourself through your clothes
With July featuring 90-degree temperatures and August likely to bring more of the same, summer temperatures are enjoyed by many, but present health-related problems for others, particularly senior citizens.

A happy summer to everyone. There is so much good going on in our neck of the woods; we all need to find positivity and pass it on with a side of kindness. This especially holds true on the highways. I’m just putting this out there in the most straightforward way possible; everybody makes mistakes
