    Jim Webb

    As August is about to be in the rear-view mirror, I have so many thoughts as the kids head back to school. I am sure many parents, grandparents, and those who take care of the kids over the summer are happy to hear the words “school’s open,” which I always follow up with “drive safely”

  • Baseball Then and Now0

    Dave Bellomo

    Besides the weather, baseball is the hottest thing about August in North Central PA. Whenever I am traveling, and people ask me where I live, I say, “Near Williamsport, you know, where they have the Little League World Series.” (If I say Jersey Shore, it opens up a very long conversation about where that actually

  • A Kid’s August Christmas0

    Scott Lowery

    Most parents will remember the moment of their child’s first few Christmas experiences. Their anticipation, excitement, and pure wide-eye joy when they awoke and saw the treasures Santa Claus had left under the tree.

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Maybe it’s me, but I was surprised and a little astounded at the seemingly underwhelming response to the presence of a Little League team from Cuba playing at the Little League World Series for the first time.

    Steph Noviello

    Every year, I mention that I think of the Little League World Series as the unofficial end of summer. Normally, I see that unofficial end coming, but I’ve got to be honest: it’s really snuck up on me this year. I can’t remember the last time that summer has felt so short! But, since this
