Letter to the editor: Norwin needs responsible, respectful board members
The Change4Norwin website’s content is deeply concerning to me — as a community member and as a Republican. They label opponents as “Marxists” threatening children.

Letter to the editor: Trump’s legacy
I believe Donald Trump’s legacy will be one of conviction for sexual battery, with more pending, plus two impeachments, and four criminal indictments, with more pending.

James Franklin explains why Penn State’s Olu Fashanu had low snap count vs. Delaware
No, Olu Fashanu didn’t get injured. It was by design that Penn State’s star left tackle didn’t play much in the Nittany Lions’ 63-7 win over Delaware. Fashanu, a projected first-round NFL talent, logged only 32 offensive snaps Saturday — ranking eighth among the Nittany Lions offensive linemen. James Franklin...
