    Swedish American two-time Olympic pole vault champion Armand Duplantis was not in attendance at the Little League World Series, but the words of the world record holder (20 feet, 8 inches) gave testament to what was unfolding on the pristine fields at the South Williamsport complex.

    Wrenched – Nefarious – Business – Attitude. Should the league, now ‘celebrating’ its 30th year of existence, be looking for a new marketing slogan, they are welcome to use this one. No charge. It fits them well! Showman P.T. Barnum is credited with saying, “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” The rationale being

    We’ve all shared the experience. The passing of a loved one or dear friend fills our thoughts and conjures up memories we’ve shared. It’s hard to let go. For me, another one of those life-sadnesses occurred a few weeks ago, when good friend and colleague, Mike Fogarty, suited up for the team above. Mike could

    As we are reminded by attending a local SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) gathering, as our country approaches its 250th celebration, baseball and sports in general hold a very special place in our community’s history. ‘Historic’ Bowman Field will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this summer. Eighty-eight years ago, Carl Stotz stumbled over a

    Scott Lowery

    Think back to your childhood days and how many times you may have uttered those words. Even as adults, most have thought about or spoken those three little words at some time when confronted with a situation that seemed unbalanced. In reality, life itself is unfair, but athletic competition is meant to be undertaken on

    Before I move forward with this week’s column, I want to clarify something that I’ve heard a few times over the years and again most recently. There are no cryptic messages within my column. To the person over last week’s column that thinks I communicate with Republicans in this manner while trying to undermine Democrats,

    I get deep in thought while doing random things. This time, I was walking around with Beau, trying to keep him from crying. My dad is cleaning out my brother’s old room at our house, and we used to share a closet. He had everything pulled out, and we were going through it. While digging

    When you spend as much time on the water as I do, you always catch a few. And while some days are certainly better than others, you occasionally have those fantastic experiences. These episodes are extremely rare. I can count them on my fingers. Last night wasn’t one of them. No worries, sports fans. Jensen

    Twenty-five years ago, my interactions with Rich Zalonis were common. As a football statistician at South Williamsport, our meetings occurred weekly. But despite living in the same community, our paths have seldom crossed in recent years. Thus, I was surprised when he walked into our team’s dugout prior to a recent softball game in Hazelton.

    Muncy High School basketball coach Jason Gresh said it best – “March 24 was a bad day for Muncy.” The occasion of Gresh’s remarks was an April 1 celebration of life remembrance and tribute to John Brink, a Muncy coach and icon who passed away March 24.

    I don’t like to gamble. It’s not my thing. I never played cards. Nor the slots. Forget about the skill machines, and those games of chance. I used to put money down on the Super Bowl. But that got ugly. I believe his name was Boris. I stopped giving money to my friends during the

    Scott Lowery

    In a well-known metaphor dating back to 1879, the phrase ‘there’s light at the end of the tunnel’ is often used to describe the end of disappointing times. Unashamedly, repeating its usage today, the same can be said as March’s arrival has brought with it increasing daylight, signs of approaching spring, the beginning of the

    It was a typical Sunday morning as the pastor stood before the parishioners making the weekly church announcements. As he departed to join the choir for the formal entrance to begin the service, he suddenly reappeared, stating, “One more announcement, the hockey game is 1-1 after two periods.” The congregation nodded and smiled approvingly.

    My good friend Nick Tagliaferri and I were somewhat celebrities. OK. That was many moons back. We simply took advantage of our impressive basketball coaching resumes and candid personalities.

    Scott Lowery

    Journalism students learn the lesson early in their studies; there is a distinct difference between a reporter and a columnist. The main differences are their focus and style of writing. Reporters provide objective news, while columnists offer personal opinions and analysis. Reporters aim to present factual information without bias, whereas columnists use their space to

    As the Indiana Hoosiers were close to completing their meteor-like rise to the NCAA football National Championship, coach Curt Cignetti responded to a reporter’s question, answering, “This would make a good movie!” While that could indeed become a reality, trying to sell such an outlandish movie script to Hollywood before Cignetti’s arrival in Bloomington two
