The Pac 12 as we used to know it is over.

High school football practices have moved beyond conditioning and camp to the first week of full-go football practice.

As much as I am excited for my successor to lead our community as mayor, and our mostly intact common council to serve the citizens of Warsaw for another term, I am a bit disheartened.

There is a line from an old beer commercial that popped into my head while I was in Florida with my family last week.

Help Organize Your Life With A Financial Planning Starter Kit

Thinking Like There Is No Box As employers continue seeking skilled people to join their teams, we’re pushed as a community to think differently about how to attract and retain talent to help local businesses thrive. That means putting our best foot forward to showcase all we have to offer and pouring into our homegrown local talent by developing, supporting and offering opportunities so they choose to stay here.

I was watching baseball last week, and the Phillies were playing in the game I was came across.

I loathe the July sports climate, and this morning I’m unapologetically not even going to even feign having a sports columnist mindset this morning. I might manage a connection between this morning’s thoughts to sports, nonetheless.

Happy Father’s Day to all you dads. I can’t think of any tangible gift I want, but I could sure use some inner strength.

I love what we Americans call “soccer”.

Who’s truly off for the summer these days?

Before we go into full “summer mode” with this space, we need to catch up on some stories that haven’t been focused on for a while, or at all.

My scholastic sports year officially ends tonight when the IHSAA Class 2A softball semistate champion will be crowned at the Tiger Softball Complex. There is nothing going on for me on the gridiron nor on the pitch until mid-August when soccer launches.

The summer heat arrived this week and with it, our beautiful city parks became the focus of outdoor recreation and relaxation opportunities.   The beaches are open and staffed with lifeguards …

My parents were not rich people. When they passed away, they left the six remaining Grossman siblings with very little in material things but a treasure chest full of the stuff that really matters. That said, each of us kids ‘inherited’ something earthly from each one of them.

Economic development plays a unique role in each community. It requires creativity, collaboration, and nearly anything but a “one-size-fits-all” approach. As the local economic …

I know this weekend is not officially summer, but the 101 days starting with today and ending on Labor Day were loosely termed the “101 days of summer” when I was in the Air Force.

I grew up in a patriotic America and I am unashamedly patriotic.

I’ll cover the two regional track meets this week where Times-Union area athletes have earned berths to keep their seasons alive.

There are a lot of things wrong with the world we live in. Only a fool, or a politician, would claim to be able to fix them all.

The IHSAA Board of Directors and Executive Committee didn’t produce a classification solution for basketball exactly the way I proposed in a column a few weeks ago. I like what is currently proposed nonetheless for not only basketball, but for each four-class-structured IHSAA sport.

I am not at all a person who says “I told you so” much.

I’ve figured out things well enough since fall 2019 to realize when athletic schedules get their tightest, a sudden inevitable lull will follow. I probably wrote a handful of columns among February, October, and May in previous years kvetching to each of you about the pace, and the packed schedule.

Earlier this week, the Warsaw Redevelopment Commission approved a development agreement to demolish the large, dilapidated building at the old Gatke site on McKinley Street and reuse a significant …
