Congratulations to Jim and Bonnie Winder on being voted into the National Babe Ruth Hall of Fame. What an absolutely great and deserving honor for the husband/wife team. Lou Hunsinger does a great job of covering the couple’s commitment and journey in providing youth baseball in the West End of Williamsport for over four decades.
Jim and Bonnie Winder have been involved with the West End Babe Ruth League for more than 40 years. Perhaps no two people have been as dedicated to that league and Babe Ruth baseball in general as Jim and Bonnie. Their hard work and dedication will be recognized nationally later this year when they are
It was with sadness that it was learned that former 84th District Representative Garth Everett had died last week after a long battle with cancer. He was recalled by many with fondness and affection. He served the people of his district well for 14 years, from 2007 to 2021. He served his constituents with dedication
Yes, I know. It’s only February. But honestly, I prefer to get ‘Spring Cleaning’ done during the winter. Why? Because I would rather enjoy the spring. Get out of the house, and do something fun! I don’t want to waste the nice weather being inside cleaning. At the very least, I’d rather use the nice
February is National Heart Health Month and a great time to familiarize yourself with the signs of a heart emergency. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one person succumbs to a heart attack every 40 seconds in the United States. Most times, these emergencies happen suddenly. It is vital to take
As the great closet clean-out of 2023 commences, I find that I’m putting items aside not for donation or re-sell but instead for storage. Not just seasonal storage but long-term storage — things that I’m not ready to give up but don’t foresee wearing for years to come. In fact, I’m hoping to save pieces
Matt Ilodigwe has already graduated from Lycoming College. The four-year starting guard was one of our favorites. Matt has a great smile and an incredible demeanor. He was a sniper from the outside and helped the Warriors win a few titles. Ilodigwe led the MAC in many shooting categories. He finished his career with 758
The walls of the St. John Neumann gymnasium are lined with banners paying tribute to the feats its athletes have achieved throughout the school’s history. However, as a result of recent action taken by the school, all current and future Neumann basketball players will be playing on a court named in honor of a man
Since it’ll be tough to get a dinner reservation tonight, how about curling up beside the fire with a nice romantic movie? Rather than such standards as “Casablanca” or “When Harry Met Sally,” here are half a dozen lesser-known cinematic roses: Beautiful Girls (1996) – Ironically titled film is mostly about guys — and worse
In mid-January, Amazon announced that it was ending its AmazonSmile charitable program on Feb. 20, 2023. The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., was one of the thousands of organizations using this to encourage local residents to support the library when they shopped online. Although it wasn’t a huge fundraiser for the Library,
In celebration of Black History Month, the Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society has placed on display a rare signature quilt from the 1840s for the month of February 2023. The quilt assembled by the Society of Friends (Quakers) of Kennett Square, contains a number of anti-slavery sentiments written in ink
Throughout Pennsylvania and neighboring states, the coyote breeding season runs from the beginning of January until the end of February. That means we are in a prime time of the year to hunt one of our state’s most prolific predators. Both males and females are out and about during daylight hours more than usual, working
There is a theory known as Six Degrees of Separation that proposes everyone on planet Earth can be connected to any other person through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. So, for example, I know somebody who knows somebody, etc., that would eventually know Joe Biden (or anyone else you
As we roll into the late days of the winter season, the hunting crowd starts to get a little bored; the deer and turkey seasons are all over, albeit there is still some small game hunting for those into running rabbits or picking off squirrels. There are some other hunting pursuits out there as well,
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. The only person they worry about talking about the results before it’s time would be me. As most of you know, I always like discussing hunting and big bucks. This
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
As we get ready for this year’s Super Bowl between the Eagles and the Chiefs, it might be interesting to look back on an interesting Williamsport connection to the infancy of the NFL. The 1925 Pottsville Maroons are one of professional football’s most storied and controversial teams, and they were quarterbacked by a former longtime
Big Jim is back in California. He sent me a few pics from the beach and an 8-page punch list. I will do my best when he is gone. Has anyone seen my fishing rods? Several folks have asked the question. ARE YOU MISSING THE COACHING? I usually smile and give them a quick answer.
With shorter days and unpredictable weather, the winter months can be particularly hard on our bodies. Ice and snow, harsh temperatures, and physical strain, particularly heavy lifting, are all part of the northeastern winter experience. Though many people may prefer to stay inside and wait for the outdoor activities until spring, getting some fresh winter
There was a point toward the end of last year when a twinge of anxiety would hit me every time I looked at my closet. Now that we are fully into the new year, a closet clean-out is at the top of my winter to-do list. Of course, it’s not a simple task by any
It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that anyone who has played basketball with a sense of proficiency hasn’t at one time or another conjured up thoughts about becoming a 1,000-point scorer, hearing the roar of the crowd, and having his/her name go up on the gymnasium wall. Visit any area gym, and you’ll find
If asked to describe the favored foods of Valentine’s Day in a single word, “decadent” might prove the most apt descriptor. Foodies and non-foodies alike recognize that Valentine’s Day and chocolate are intertwined, making the day an ideal time to indulge in something decadent. This Valentine’s Day, couples can share their love for decadent delights
Stories of romance are as old as love itself. That makes Valentine’s Day an ideal time to indulge in a romantic comedy or classic love story. Plenty of films can be enjoyed while snuggled up with a sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. The following can serve as a romantic starting point for couples looking to cozy
The International Holocaust Remembrance Day has already passed on Fri., Jan. 27, 2023. This date marks the liberation of the Auschwitz Concentration camp. Auschwitz was only one of many Concentration Camps used in the systematic murder of 6 million Jewish people. It is hard to comprehend or put into words the sheer scale of the
I know most of the fishing crowd doesn’t think of a new fishing season being underway until trout season rolls around in April, but I’ve always considered the new season underway when I hit the ice for the first time. In recent years that first trip rarely took place before the start of the new
Nope, this is not about looking for wood sheds, tool sheds, outhouses, or any other type of outbuilding. This is the time of year when bucks begin to drop their antlers, and hunting for these sheds is a passion for whitetail hunters. There is some thought that temperature changes or fluctuations trigger the shedding of
There is a systemic change in our local politics with the recent loss of former 83rd District Pennsylvania Assemblyman Garth Everett and former President of the Williamsport/Lycoming County Chamber of Commerce and Lycoming County Republican Party President Dr. Vincent J. Matteo. They were very knowledgeable and dedicated public servants. They were also two men that
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!
