Regardless of personal rooting interests, the record-setting seven-game thriller between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays will go down as one of the best World Series ever played.

Running has been a successful lifelong companion for Griffin Molino. As a high schooler from South Williamsport, he won two cross-country state titles. As a member of the Syracuse University cross-country team, he experienced the euphoria of the 2015 NCAA national championship. But his latest run to glory came on the legs and lungs of
Many of you have ‘taken a chance’ this week by going to your nearest polling place and expressing your preference as to who elected leaders will be.

The leaves of October hadn’t yet started to fall, but the month’s second week produced a cascading plummet of rooting hopes for a bevy of area fans whose favorite team’s championship aspirations came crashing to the ground.
