As the cover date reads 9/11, I want to begin this week with my thoughts and prayers for the families and all those affected by the tragic events of 9/11. The number of Americans lost that day continues to climb as a result of the toxic dust breathed in on-site. The 9/11 Memorial Ride, my
Not the creepy Jigsaw kind, but the hang out on a Saturday evening with friends and play a board game kind. When the weather cools off, our family tends to hunker down and stay inside. We have a ton of board games and really enjoy spending afternoons playing games together. Some are more complicated than
It was a beautiful, sun-drenched, late-summer morning. It appeared all was right in the world. The early day’s sun was still very warm, the smell of fall was in the air. I dropped my sons off for school and daycare. Jimmy had just started kindergarten, and Hunter was a very young preschooler. I was looking
I have to start the week with a correction and apology. We always do our absolute best to ensure that all the information we put out is correct, but sometimes the internet gets us. Last week, we noted that the Lock Haven Jaycees work in conjunction with the Lock Haven Boat Regatta Foundation to organize
I’ve got a lot of ground, out field grass, fairway, and even peaceful cemetery space to cover this week, so I had better get right to it. I’ll begin where I left off last week with West End Babe Ruth 13-16’s trip to the World Series in Branson, Missouri. Congratulations to the West End team, parents,
We are going to do things a little differently this week. I’m sharing my space with Lou this week for a little insight on the MLB/Little League Classic. I’m going to let Lou lead off and I’ll bat clean-up… The 2024 MLB/Little League Classic is now in the books. It had one of the most
It’s the most wonderful time of the year to be a sports fan living here in the West Branch Valley. The long list of events highlighted by the 77th playing of the Little League World Series has been amazing. I don’t even know where to begin, other than I would be remiss if I didn’t
We are down to the last few days of the Little League World Series, which means the unofficial end of summer. The kids are headed back to school, and I’m sad about it all! I hate the end of summer…I don’t even get a whole new wardrobe anymore! No one buys me new sneakers, either.
Welcome to everyone visiting our little corner of God’s green Earth for the 77th playing of the Little League World Series. Congrats to the teams, fans, and all involved as you complete this amazing summer journey. A tip of my cap with the American Flag on the side to Little League Baseball President and CEO
Well, y’all, it’s that time of year again! It’s a little bittersweet. I absolutely love the Little League World Series and the attention it brings to our little corner of the world, but it also means that summer is coming to a close, which always makes me sad. It feels like the older I get,
Well, it’s hard to believe July is in the rearview mirror. August on the calendar in the West Branch Valley goes hand-in-hand with baseball, football, and back to school. The back-to-school thing still makes me cringe, even though I haven’t been a student in decades. This, of course, was coupled with the fact that two-a-day
Listen, you don’t like it. I don’t like it. The kids certainly don’t like it. But as much as we try to slow it down, the calendar continues to move forward and back to school is right around the corner. What I also don’t like is waiting until the last minute to do things. A
