St. Pete has its first World Series champions

The Northwest 10U Freedom softball team recently made history by becoming the first from any division to bring a World Series championship home to St. Petersburg.

The all-star team finished its historic season with an 8-1 victory over Puerto Rico in the Babe Ruth World Series, held in Florence, Alabama. Coach Lane Zimmer, grandson of legendary Major League Baseball player and coach Don Zimmer, led the girls to a 6-1 record in the 14-team tournament.

Should St. Pete have city-sponsored debates?

St. Petersburg’s city code obligates council members to facilitate municipal election debates. A committee recently voted to eliminate the amendment rather than modify its language.

City staff requested the Aug. 14 discussion, primarily to “clean up” outdated code amendments related to SPTV, the city’s government broadcasting channel. Councilmember Lisset Hanewicz noted that potential changes to political debates for municipal elections were more substantial.
