Happy Thanksgiving to all of the great readers of Webb Weekly. Early deadline this week, and my lovely editor just yelled. I am a part-time mobile scribe that already excels at procrastination. I am now scrambling and desperately need to find a new hideout. The usual stop in Wegmans has too many distractions. I decided
H olidays arrive throughout the year, some of them we hold quite dear A ttempts have been made to move some to Monday, so they fall the day after Sunday P erhaps three-day weekends are the best, but they don’t define the holiday test P eople should remember what holidays are for, keeping in mind
I guess it’s a sign that I’m getting older, but it seems like things are always changing. Prices have changed, how we shop has changed, society has changed, and even deer seasons have changed. Gas is no longer 29¢ a gallon; we buy online instead of going to the mall; if you wear a red
Thanksgiving weekend is recognized as the most heavily traveled weekend of the year. It is a fact, as thousands upon thousands of people all across our state and across the nation will fly or drive to meet up with friends and relatives to share some quality time together. There will be football, lots of food
The sound was unmistakable. If you heard it once, you’ve never forgotten it. Indeed, I had heard it many, many times. The sound of a baseball coming off a bat in the acoustically challenged, antiquated gymnasium of South Williamsport’s Rommelt Building is like no other.

I am still buzzing over last week’s classic. What an environment, kids. So many of you have accused me of jumping on the wagon, but I have been rowing the boat since day one. My family and I have deep roots with the great state of Minnesota. I spent my first five years in the
Pennsylvania has covered a third of the distance needed to set a state record black bear harvest. Through an early archery bear season in selected Wildlife Management Units (WMUs), two new October firearms bear seasons and the first week of a two-week statewide archery bear season, Pennsylvania hunters took a preliminary harvest of 1,540 bears.
In a little over one week, one of the largest “civilian armies” in all of the United States will go forth with one mission in mind — to enter the woods and fields of Pennsylvania in search of a whitetail deer that will produce some very tasty meals for family and friends. This year for
Now that winter has made its appearance in central Pennsylvania, even the diehard trout fishermen have shelved their trout tackle until next spring. If you don’t mind a little road trip, however, you can still get in on some fantastic trout fishing; more specifically, I’m talking about steelhead fishing in the Lake Erie tributaries. Several
After a couple of years of light fall turkey harvests, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is predicting a substantial statewide turkey population of around 212,000 birds for this year’s hunters. I have been seeing a pretty good number of turkeys over the past few months, but some hunting friends I’ve talked with have told me they
This is the time of year that all archery whitetail hunters dream of. They schedule their vacations, complete the “honey do” lists and spend every minute possible in the woods in pursuit of the wise old bucks that are love sick and searching for a friendly doe. For about a week or two week period,
Expect big things from Kevin Anderson and the University of Delaware this year. The former St. John Neumann Regional Academy superstar and the Blue Hens are just getting the season started. Anderson is now a junior, and he was recently named as an ALL Colonial Athletic Conference preseason selection. The 6 foot 5 starting point
