Why the question mark after the words “ice fishing” in the story title? Well, because it’s been a very questionable activity the past few years. Over the past few years, we ice fishing enthusiasts have had very little time on the hard water since the ice was hard to come by in the first place
Happy New Year, kids. Special thanks to those who are fans of this page. I am truly humbled by all of your feedback and praise. I want to give some love to a few — props to the boss man Jim and my lovely editor Steph for allowing me to partake. I am a part-time
Famed film director and producer Andy Warhol once was quoted as saying, “The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting.” Although Warhol’s words are still with us, they cannot be applied to last week’s much-hyped first round of the NCAA college football playoffs, which, after months of ballyhooed buildup, lacked both the excitement
As many of you will receive this publication the day before Christmas, it is appropriate to reflect upon the famous Clement C. Moore poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas. Telling about the visit from the jolly one, Moore’s poem concludes with the one-line message, “Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!” Christmas
My good friend Nick Tagliaferri and I WERE somewhat celebrities. We took advantage of our impressive coaching resumes. SPENCE TAG RADIO was well before its time. A weekly part-time gig had many listeners. No advertisers. I truly believe that we were the first local PODCAST. But our success only lasted for one season. We broke

Most of the racks are what many of us would consider “average,” but now and again, a really nice rack comes up.
One of the joys of part-time scribing is getting to know so many great local kids involved with sports. We meet up in high school, and then we stay in touch. Sometimes, I will do a college or even a professional follow-up. Yes. It is grand. There is an impressive list. Both boys and girls
As the strains of Auld Lang Syne ring out on New Year’s Eve, longtime Little League International President and CEO Steve Keener will enter retirement and turn over the mantel of leadership to Pat Wilson. Appreciably, he took the time to reflect upon his experiences with Webb Weekly. WW: How satisfying has your career been?
I realize our regular firearms deer season is over for this year, but if you were not able to tag that deer, there are still some opportunities left. Our statewide flintlock deer season for both antlered and antlerless deer runs from Dec. 26-Jan. 20. Sure, you have to put that high-powered rifle with the scope
It is probably a safe assumption that the leftovers from the Thanksgiving feast were devoured well before the four-day holiday football indulgence gave way to December’s arrival. Dubbed ‘rivalry weekend,’ the concluding week of the college football regular season lived up to its billing, featuring exciting games and upsets with positive results for Eagles and
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to the readers of the Webb Weekly. I especially thank those of you who check out this page. Your feedback and praise mean the world to me. I enjoy sharing these columns. The winter sports scene is now in full swing. I look forward to many more adventures — even a few
