The holiday season can provide stress on our bodies, especially the stomach. Holiday meals, lots of cookies, traveling, and stress can all cause pain in our gut. But don’t let that keep you away from your family and the dinner table. There are ways to keep you jolly and jovial into the new year. Preventing
It was almost exactly one year ago — New Year’s Eve, 2021 — that I went to see the very first film I reviewed for Webb Weekly. In honor of that auspicious anniversary — and to contrast the Christmas-film lists that circulate endlessly at this season — here are some New Year’s Eve selections: Let
As we close out 2022 and look toward a new year, one thing I am excited about is Pantone’s color of the year for 2023. If you are unfamiliar with Pantone, it’s a company that works with the graphic design, fashion, and product design industries to manufacture and support the rendering of color in raw
Red or white, sweet or dry, wine lovers are often entertainers at heart. When inviting guests to share your personal favorites, nothing enhances a tasting get-together quite like complementary snack and wine pairings. The next time you find a wine party on your schedule, consider these simple yet delicious recommendations from sommelier and founder of
The Christmas presents have all been unwrapped, some of them exchanged, the year’s allotment of vacation days is about to disappear, and plans for New Year’s Eve have been resolved. Some New Year’s resolutions will be made, with many being broken before month’s end, and the arrival of W-2s and income tax preparation is a
Rain and light snow could not dampen the spirits of the runners and walkers as they lined up to compete in the 2022 Frostbite 5 Mile Run and the Penguin 5K Walk. Once everyone was in place, the start command was given, and the fun began. With runners and walkers settling into their own pace,
I try to leave on a positive note. And 2022 was a fun one, kids. There were so many great stories from this past year. I am glad that I got to share some. I am truly blessed and humbled. The praise and feedback from this part-time gig are off the charts. It is sometimes
Over the past year, architectural design saw a surge in nature-inspired, earth tones, such as calming shades of blue and green. Homeowners can expect this trend to continue into the coming months, but with warmer, richer colors. This ongoing interest in warm neutrals with earthy undertones and pink and blush shades is likely to be
Hypertension, a condition marked by abnormally high blood pressure, is more common than many people may recognize. A 2021 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services indicated that nearly half of adults in the United States, or roughly 116 million people, have hypertension. And hypertension isn’t exclusive to Americans, as the World
Like a lot of other hunters, my hunting season is winding down fast; I may get out for a little flintlock hunting and a little rabbit hunting, but my time in the woods will be pretty limited. I managed to get out at least a half dozen times during this past deer season, but something
The common cold is synonymous with times of year when temperatures dip. When people spend more time indoors, they’re more vulnerable to contagious cold viruses. But the common cold is not the only health issue that presents itself most often when the mercury drops. Seasonal affective disorder, also known as “SAD,” affects millions of people
I think that most folks will agree that the last couple of years have been overridden with negative. From the inception and lingering effects of COVID-19 to the deepening divide when it comes to trying to have a civil discussion regarding politics, and from the wide open southern border, which allows drugs and some rather
The Harlem Wizards are set to return to the Magic Dome at Williamsport Area High School in a fundraiser benefit game for the Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation (WASDEF) on Feb. 9, 2023. The game, presented by Geisinger, will begin at 6:30 p.m., with doors set to open at 5:30. From crazy slam-dunks to
2022 is winding down. But Pennsylvania’s hunting license year isn’t yet halfway through, and there’s plenty of action to be experienced afield in the coming weeks and months. The final deer seasons of 2022-23 kick off Dec. 26, running alongside many small game and furbearer seasons, making for plenty of options and opportunities. Here’s a
It’s a couple of days before Christmas, and all through the house, there is so much stirring, I hope the cat gets the mouse. I’m sure there’s a lot of this going on all over our little neck of Penn’s Woods as the kids are now home from college, family members have traveled home for
The stockings were hung by the TV with care…and that’s about all I’ve got done! I kid, I kid…kinda…sorta…I swear I almost have everything done! OK, OK, fine — in reality, I do not, in fact, have everything done, but I’ll get there, I always do! I did manage to finish one thing and that
It was announced recently that the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has authorized a Pennsylvania historical marker honoring late, distinguished local artist Frances Tipton Hunter to be erected locally. The marker is to be dedicated sometime in 2023. It has been speculated that the maker is to be placed appropriately enough in Way’s Garden, the
Reader alert: This is a satirical column for some amusement for the holiday season. Enjoy! There has been quite an uproar of late from an editorial in the Polar Post newspaper that their famous local resident, Santa Claus, is not a registered member of the Republican Party despite the claims of the North Pole Republican Party
Grief affects each of us differently. Feelings of loss come and go without warning, even many years after a loved one has died. Sometimes, grief can be triggered by familiar events, music, smells, foods, or photographs. The holidays—full of traditions, events, group meals, and company—can heighten or reignite these intense feelings of loss. Here are
I recently experienced an allergic reaction to an eye shadow stick that left my eyelids red, raw, and flakey — which is just the look I want for upcoming holiday events. And for some reason, the irritation traveled around and under my eyes. Needless to say, that stick found its way to the trashcan posthaste,
I feel bad for our district leaders. Making a decision today is tough. I truly believe that they are in it for the right reasons. But it’s hard to make the best choice. Our administrators get paid well. And they have to put up with a lot. Please remember they have a difficult job. They
The Christmas season has a different feel From the worldly troubles and all that is real People greet each other and spread good cheer Wouldn’t it be nice if that happened all year? Sports are an escape we all can enjoy As much as the little ones with a new Santa toy We gather and
It doesn’t happen overnight, but if you are willing to devote the time, you can gain a great deal of knowledge by learning to read what animal tracks can reveal. Whether your goal is to become a better hunter, to develop a better understanding of Mother Nature’s wonders, or to discover just what animals frequent
Like many people our age, my wife and I have started to go through file cabinets and boxes of “stuff” stored on shelves in the basement. As I was going through some of the “stuff,” I came across a small notebook, and when I opened it and started to read, I quickly realized it was
Christmas came early this past week in the highest-profile vape and cannabis oil case ever witnessed. I’m going to pick my words wisely, be brief, and not allow the Biden administration to turn me into the grinch with a pen. Most importantly, I don’t want to rant and allow the madness of the world to
Sleigh bells are starting to ring, so far, we’ve been pretty lucky in that our lanes aren’t glistening… There is a lot going on this time of year to help celebrate the holidays. I thought it might be fun (and convenient) to do a bit of a ‘Holiday Round-Up’ to let you know about all
Tis the season, folks, and instead of sharing a story on sports, I’ve decided to chime in on something that is much more important. Yes. It’s time to talk about The Elf on the Shelf. For those of you without young children, this article might help explain that creepy little butthead that has been flooding
‘Tis the season for holiday gatherings where we share food, time together, and germs. No matter where you are, keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself from germs that can make you sick. Regularly washing your hands or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water
When it comes to fall/winter trends, my mind often jumps to cold-weather staples like cozy turtlenecks, oversized sweaters, fleece leggings, and wooly socks. But as the holidays gear up, the excitement to celebrate sparks an opportunity to set these casual pieces aside and indulge in a bit of glamour. Holiday dressing can range from ugly
A yellowed newspaper clipping held in place by a magnet greets me each time I open the refrigerator door. I don’t take the time to read it each time, but its presence serves as a reminder of something that should never be taken for granted or forgotten. Its contents read: “A Marine was taking college
