    Wow, it’s hard to believe the calendar was flipped to August. Before you know it, the kids will be back to school as the fall sports preparation has already begun.

    Since the United States opened its doors to this summer’s World Cup, much has been said and written expressing the welcoming and friendliness of Americans to those visitors who poured in here from around the World.

  • Volunteers: Youth Sports MVP0

    Scott Lowery

    It is estimated that each year, half a million volunteers around the globe support the Little League Baseball and Softball programs. Fittingly, when Little League expanded the number of teams participating in the World Series in 2001 and needed a second stadium, they chose the name Volunteer Stadium. In a few weeks, that stadium will

    I hope that, as you’re reading this, the beautiful summertime sunrises, sunsets, and blue skies have returned. At press time, almost 900 wildfires were burning in Canada, to go along with more than a dozen across Northern Minnesota that were providing our local smoke screen. As the smoke was hugging the ground and I was

    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.

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    This will be a season of baseball fun and action, as well as commemoration, when the Williamsport Crosscutters celebrate and commemorate the 100th anniversary of Historic Bowman Field.
