If you are serious about your hunting and are really focused on putting your tag on a trophy buck, a respectable long-bearded turkey, or a Pennsylvania black bear, then rainy weather and blustery conditions should not hold you back. In fact, lousy weather conditions may actually up your odds of success. Whether the forecast is
Across West Fourth Street, just a long foul ball away from the Original Little League field sits the once-controversial site of former Williamsport Mayor Gabe Campana’s 2014 Memorial Park Pickleball Court installation. Somewhat unpopular at the time, that action could be credited as the forerunner of what has become one of the fastest-growing sports in
With the early start this year, trout season is well underway, but with the erratic weather conditions we have seen the past few weeks getting on the water may have been a bit of a challenge. Rain, snow, high, murky water, and strong winds have all added up to some difficult fishing conditions. Of course,
This week’s write-up has very little to do with sports. I only wanted to give my boys a quick shout. My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. Yes. There is never a dull moment. My fellow work chums say that I am a liability. Rocks are heavy. I am not the strongest guy,
One of the more unique aspects of this upcoming election is the number of individuals running for everything from state governor to local offices with no government experience. It is true that there was always the first person that the surgeon cut open or the first airplane that a pilot landed on the ground. Still,
After April showers come cute shoes for spring! And while some folks are all about the flatforms, platforms, and strappy heels, I’m taking a more relaxed approach to this season’s footwear. This spring, I’ll be giving my heels a rest for a fresher and flatter shoe silhouette. Here are some of the flats I’m thinking
Strength training is a vital component of an effective exercise regimen. Guidelines from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommend adults include moderate- to high-intensity strength training activities in their workout regimens at least twice per week. Individuals with little weightlifting experience may not recognize the value of strength training, which is often
As I watched my nephew play baseball on a beautiful sun-drenched Spring Day that turned into an amazing evening, all seemed right in the world. There was a doubleheader of baseball with his game finishing under the lights. Kids were playing, practicing, and enjoying every kid’s activity possible as there was no school the next
Friday is Earth Day and this year’s theme is, “Invest in Our Planet.” According to earthday.org, “This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, our
It’s been a few weeks since the official start of spring. You may have noticed warmer weather, sprouting plants, and an unfortunate side effect – dreaded allergy symptoms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 60 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies every year. Allergy symptoms are a reaction to foreign
Sleep may become a bit restless as the one-day Youth Hunt for Spring Gobblers will occur this coming Saturday, April 23rd. With the regular statewide Spring Gobbler season opening up on the following Saturday, the 30th, there are a couple of steps to prepare for opening day. First, if you have not already done so,
Fishing has always been a passion, and I take full advantage of what North Central PA has to offer. I am on the water an awful lot and usually head out after supper. Now that the basketball season is over, that is where you can find me. Some of my favorite spots are just a
I’d be the first to admit that when I go fishing, my intent is not to catch a record fish but rather to have fun doing something I really enjoy — fishing. That being said, it certainly is a nice surprise once in a while to catch a really nice fish, and the bigger ones,
The concept of service and care for others is an integral part of the mission of St. John Neumann Regional Academy. In this spirit, the school’s senior project, “Packages with a Purpose,” is being carried out. The packages that are part of the project contain items for cancer patients at the Hillman Cancer Center at
It was near midnight on April 10; while watching a west coast baseball game, the dreaded news crawled across the bottom of the TV screen. Gary Brown had passed away. In the days since, tributes to the man Gary was and the successful football life he had lived have come from near and far. His
Bruce Willis’ retirement last month concludes one of Hollywood’s most successful and beloved film careers. With over 100 titles grossing $5 billion, Willis’ filmography includes such hits as “Die Hard,” “Armageddon,” “The Sixth Sense,” “Red” and “Pulp Fiction” — not to mention Emmy-winning stints on TV’s “Moonlighting” and “Friends.” Given this popularity, Webb Weekly sidesteps
From the late 1990s to 2018, I was an international business consultant and leadership trainer in the Nordics, Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, and India. My family and I lived in the Baltic republic of Latvia from 1991 to 2006, where I worked as a missionary helping to launch a theological seminary as well as
There’s nothing like a freshly painted manicure or pedicure to rejuvenate the season, your outfit, and your mood. Now, as you’re packing up your winter coats and boots, it is a good time to look into transitioning your nail color for spring! When considering warm-weather nail polish, bright shades like orange, red, and pink will
Hey y’all! I’m so excited for Easter this weekend! I have always loved putting together Easter baskets and can’t wait to put together some Easter surprises this year! Next to the Fourth of July, Easter is one of my favorite holidays. But before I get too far into my article this week, let me as
It’s likely that you indulge in a craving for salt from time to time. While listening to your body is important, it’s also valuable to monitor your intake of the substance due to its effects on your heart health. A good portion of salt is made up of the mineral sodium. According to the Centers
As the title of this piece indicates, for those who trout fish, minnows are a top producer when it comes to trout fishing. It’s a well-known fact that all trout feed on smaller fish or minnows, so it makes good sense to utilize such bait when fishing for trout. Because minnows are such good trout
‘Remote learning’ has been the buzz words of educational institutions in recent years as educators, parents, and students alike wrestle with the complications of achieving their ABC objectives outside the traditional bricks & mortar classroom setting. At South Williamsport, Mountaineers softball coach Tom O’Malley reasoned the best remote learning possible for his developing program could
This year, in just over a week, the one-day Youth Hunt for spring gobblers will be held on Saturday, April 23rd. It is a day that many young hunters, as well as their adult mentors, have been looking forward to for months. It is held one week prior to the opening of the regular statewide
George Daniel is a bug chucking legend. My man has written several books and has appeared on many covers. He is extremely well known within the fly-fishing community. George would be on Mount Rushmore. He competed in five World Championships. Daniel has also coached the US National Team on four other occasions. He has traveled
The dark apparition of death has stalked my family and me again with the death of my beloved sister, Kathleen (Kathy), on March 29. It was only 16 months ago that my father died, and before that, what seems like an unbelievably short time (eight years ago) that my beloved wife Mary died. But such
Candidate Joe Biden did not make very many public appearances when he was running for the presidency, but during one of these appearances in July of 2020, he made a strange remark, even by Biden standards. He announced, “Milton Friedman isn’t running the show anymore.” This comment flew over almost everyone’s head, but looking back
Easter is one of my favorite holidays for getting dressed up. Even with questionable weather on the horizon, it feels that spring is about to arrive at any second, and with it, a sense of renewal and promise. Whether Easter is early or late, it usually stands at the start of the warm-weather party season.
After all those severe thunderstorms rolled through last week, it was time for me to write my column. My initial thoughts were to focus on the week that was beginning with President Biden addressing the national energy issues and his plan of how to lower the cost. This followed by my thoughts on how, with
Those who know me know that I am a reader at heart. I was the kid who had to be told to put the book down and go outside to play. According to my Kindle stats, I have only not read 24 days since January 2020. So having the opportunity to tout reading to all
