    Happy late Thanksgiving to the fine readers of the Webb Weekly. And special thanks to those who are fans of this page. I am truly humbled by your feedback and praise. I often receive several shouts in public. Strangers also recognize me from these columns. I gratuitously thank them with a fist bump. Cool. Before

  • You Wanna Bet?0

    Scott Lowery

    Many of you have ‘taken a chance’ this week by going to your nearest polling place and expressing your preference as to who elected leaders will be. Some of you recently may have taken another kind of chance by plunking your money down on a sporting event, hoping that your expressed preference will increase your

  • HORSE. Rematch?0

    Jamie Spencer

    A very long time ago, in a gymnasium nearby. A friend was in a bind. He reached out for some help. I was on the fence. I had been away from the game for a year. I enjoyed my first undefeated season from the stands. But I missed it. I talked things over with my

  • “The Phoenician Scheme”: Wes Anderson Gets Religion0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Perhaps only Wes Anderson would have the audacity to cast Bill Murray as God. He’s also among the few people who could pull it off — without seeming blasphemous or just plain silly. In fact, the latest from this idiosyncratic filmmaker — The Phoenician Scheme — winds up charting a similarly surprising spiritual journey: It

  • Through Thick and Thin: Running to 3K … in Words!0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Last week, Webb’s “Weird Words” celebrated a major milestone with our 100th vocabulary column. That somewhat self-indulgent piece comprised a description of my weekly writing process; but it also mentioned another recent milestone: Sometime in the past month or so, the running master-doc—the one from which I draw my lists each week—managed to cross 3,000

  • Shot Clock Coming0

    Scott Lowery

    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

  • Do-Over0

    Scott Lowery

    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

  • Colleges Go Pro0

    Scott Lowery

    Ranked as one of movies’ greatest all-time lines, “Show me the money” from the 1996 film Jerry Maguire has turned out to be three decades ahead of its time! What began on July 1, Division I college athletes across the country will be shouting the same line at the college of their choice, and in

  • Still No Kings… But Plenty of Vocabulary!0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    As July Fourth approaches like a whizzing bottle-rocket, regular readers of Webb’s “Weird Words” might wonder what thematic approach could possibly connect this holiday with our ongoing study of vocabulary. Well, among other things, 7/4 serves as another reminder that we don’t care for kings in this nation — which is one major reason we

  • Looking Back0

    Scott Lowery

    H.G. Wells’s 1895 science fiction novel Time Machine has been much scrutinized and talked about over the years. The work suggested a concept of time travel using a device to travel purposely forward or backward through time. Not being a Wells fan or proponent of the notion, I have previously never paid any attention to

    Sun is Shining on Sinibaldi0

    Scott Lowery

    As a ten-year-old Little Leaguer, Peter Sinibaldi dreamed of someday hitting a walk-off home run just like his New York Yankees heroes were doing. Eight years later, his walk-off single gave his South Williamsport high school team a 2-1 win over Sayre, clinching the school’s second consecutive District IV championship. Telling the media after the

  • Use These If You Dare: More Weird Words for Your Webb Week0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Here in Webb’s “Weird Words” slot, we like themes. Indeed, over the past 85 installments, we’ve selected oddball vocabulary based on animals, money, romance, Easter, Christmas, March madness, April Fools’ and even the presidential inauguration. We’ve covered long words, short words, hyphens, doublets, blends and “kangaroo words” — while side-stepping into such other linguistic areas

    Perhaps the novelty has begun to waiver a bit once the reality of winning a state championship has sunk into the players and coaches of the Loyalsock Township state champion girls’ basketball team, but their accomplishment made school and District IV history and the smiles on their faces and pride in their hearts remain as

    It wasn’t how I had planned to spend my Valentine’s weekend Saturday.

    It was a lesson learned long ago when my interest in journalism was in its infancy. A scribe well-versed in the occupation passed on his warning – ‘If you ever become a columnist, don’t include your personal opinions regarding politics or religion in what you write.’ That advice is spot-on, as those of you who
