By 2050, the number of senior citizens is expected to be close to 90 million. As of 2021, Statistics Canada
As the planning for Bitburg, Germany’s 1973 Little League World Series team reunion began to unfold eighteen months ago, players began to look back with fondness and look ahead with eagerness to a return trip to Williamsport.

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. The 8,000 fans on hand enjoyed the tight 1-0 game, a loss to Japan, but the fact that
Before you even ask, no! I’m not talking about having a drink in the shower, even though I’ve been known to enjoy a shower beer after a day at the beach. For this article, shower cocktailing refers to the trend that incorporates multiple body products/steps in one bathing session. The idea being to amp up
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.

This will be the sixth MLB Little League Classic. No. I did not score a ticket. No worries. I have already been there and done that. I was in the stands for a few, and they were simply fantastic. But the games I remember were the ones from the outside. Those experiences were great, and
For some unknown reason, I have always been captivated by things that crawl, swim and slither. None of my siblings seem to have been smitten with my affection for such critters, and my interest has not waned over the years. It seems that my grandchildren, however, have inherited some of my curiosity with a number

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

Should a fictitious game have been played between the above two-mentioned organizations, the sports page lead might have read: ‘After jumping to what seemed like an insurmountable lead, LLB held on for dear life as the Big Ten rallied from behind with a far-reaching attack that ultimately fell just short of tying the game in

I recently retired the bookbag I’ve been using since 2016. She was a good one, but all of her zippers finally busted, and now I’m in search of a new daily bag that can hold my laptop, lunch, makeup pouch, umbrella, water bottle, books, notebook, and all of the various sundries I’ve been carrying around
August is National Breastfeeding Month — a time to celebrate and support breastfeeding mothers. Every family may have their own unique experience with breastfeeding, or some may choose to express and bottle feed breastmilk.

Obviously, I enjoy wildlife; after all, I’ve spent most of my life photographing, painting, or writing about some form of wildlife. The other morning, while downing a cup of coffee with the gang, one of the guy’s wives mentioned she had a possum in the barn, and that led to a more involved discussion, which

With the historic and groundbreaking appearance of a Cuban Little League team in this year’s Little League World Series it brings back memories of a time when the Williamsport professional baseball team, the Grays, could have rightfully had Williamsport proclaimed, “Havana on the Susquehanna.’ During 1944 and 1945, those Grays’ teams were made up mostly
The high school football fields have come back to life across the West Branch Valley, and next week, I’ll be writing about the Little League World Series and all the good things going on in our area.

One of the fallacies of seeing history through the lens of Critical Race Theory is that it distorts the truly amazing elements of American history that have impacted the world.

In the real estate world, other than ‘sale is final,’ ‘location, location, location’ seems to be the magic words. Where, as opposed to what is often the sought-after trump card. In the baseball world, the long-suffering fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates are a prime example of the location conundrum. Its physical property, PNC Park at
I was prepared to find “Barbie” somewhat silly, perhaps even weird or surreal. But I did not expect it to be so politically ambitious, so morally bankrupt — or so utterly infuriating. While the summer’s surprise smash-hit has a couple of worthy features, it is little more than a feminist rant: shrill, shallow, preachy, propagandistic
