  • Two Weeks ‘til Christmas, the Office is a-Clatter0

    Jim Webb

    Wow, the days fly by this time of year as fast as Santa and his trusted reindeer can get from one rooftop to another. As I traveled around in the snow-covered brilliance of the great place we call home, the perfect song was playing on the radio: Dean Martin’s “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” As always,

    Terri Schlichenmeyer

    Santa will be very relieved. You’ve taken most of the burden off him by making a list and checking it twice on his behalf. The gift-buying in your house is almost done — except for those few people who are just so darn hard to buy for. So what do you give to the person

    Scott Lowery

    With the college and professional football seasons building to a championship crescendo and Christmas just around the corner, baseball has entered its ‘hot stove season.’ While the sport has taken a back seat for many, November was a busy time for Penn College baseball coach Chris Howard, who was inducted into the West Branch Valley

    The six-month marathon, which this year extended to the first day of November, of the Major League Baseball season is now officially history. Regardless of personal rooting interests, the record-setting seven-game thriller between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays will go down as one of the best World Series ever played. There

    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.

    Jim Webb

    As we close out October, there are so many issues that seem to bring negativity to our American Spirit. I believe in the two-party system, and Republicans and Democrats work for the American people. Lost in the world of today is the having of a beer and a sandwich together after Congress breaks. This so

    My Father loved this time of year as football season was just getting interesting, the World Series was on our doorstep, and of course, election day was just around the corner. He loved the Mummers’ Parade and the Halloween season. I’ve shared in past articles how Dad always liked playing a good trick on folks.

    I’m a little early with this tribute — but as my grandpa always said, “If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late. And if you’re late, you’re out the door!” That quote has stuck with me my entire life. My wife will probably never understand why it’s so important for me

    Over the years, Jean has made the same remark many times. “Aren’t we lucky we have made so many friends and had so many good times through the involvement we’ve had with sports?” Each time, I shake my head in agreement. Sports have been a constant in my life since I was a youngster, and

    An old sports axiom states, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish that counts.” That same axiom could also be applied to the 2025 Williamsport Crosscutters’ MLB Draft League season, which ended last week.
