A few weeks back I mentioned my intention to interview and feature the thoughts from women across the West Branch Valley. The question I would be asking was with all that is currently going on across our nation and beyond, what worries them the most. I thought this would be a simple topic to cover;
I wrote this column for the March 6, 2019, edition. This is prior to the DNC recognizing that Joe Biden was their best chance to win the Oval Office back. I understand there is a lot of water under the bridge since then and the world around us has gone mad in even more ways.
I request that during that month (March) our people rededicate themselves to the splendid aims and activities of the Red Cross. ~President Franklin D. Roosevelt, first Presidential Proclamation of March as Red Cross Month, 1943 I am a big proponent of the Red Cross. Like a lot of large non-profits, they have their issues, but

The only classified information I’m going to talk about this week is the winners of our 15th Annual Uncle Ron’s Webb Weekly Monster Buck Contest.

As another NFL season comes to a close, it’s time for our yearly rundown of Super Bowl picks and predictions! Mike Rafferty started this tradition over a decade ago, and it has been so much fun to continue the tradition each year! Let’s start around the office. Jaime is up first with an Eagles win
Before I get to my thoughts on how much time remains for our 46th President to call the White House his home, I’ll begin with some positive light. The cover of the Webb Weekly reads February the 1st, and that’s great news. January is in the rear-view mirror; the groundhog will soon be coming out
I want to start out this week by saying Thank You! We have heard so many comments and compliments about last week’s anniversary issue! It’s been so amazing to hear how much everyone enjoyed the issue and how much love y’all have for Webb Weekly! I can’t wait to celebrate again in another 20 years!
