Twin Valley Ice Hockey
Reading, Pennsylvania

Just five years ago, the Twin Valley Ice Hockey Club was formed on a small farm pond in Elverson. That year, 15 skaters laced up the boots and went on to capture its first of four consecutive Berks Scholastic Ice Hockey League (BSIHL) championships. The club, which is recognized by the Twin Valley School District, the athletic department, and featured in the yearbook, is now 80 skaters strong. This... More
Berks County to the Pros... and Back
Reading, Pennsylvania

Berks County continues to add minor league sports franchises and as a sportscaster I say, the more the merrier. That’s not just because it gives me more games and events to report on. The teams also give former Berks County high school standouts a chance to continue to shine in their hometown. Every one of Reading’s four professional teams has had at least one local product player over the past... More

As higher education costs continue to soar, many parents find themselves faced with the nagging question, “Will I have enough money to pay for my child’s college education?” Although most people today are likely to agree that an investment in higher education usually reaps its rewards in higher long-term earnings—and, hopefully, greater job satisfaction—one key concern is how to choose a smart savings alternative. 529 plans are flexible investment options...

A New Year's Resolution for Sports Fans
Reading, Pennsylvania

I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions. For the most part, I think they just make the gym a little more crowded during the month of January. There is one resolution however, that I am in favor of. It’s one that all high school sports fans can adopt. Let’s cheer, not jeer, in 2008! The reason I love covering high school athletics is because in... More
MRSA & Staph Related Bacteria
Reading, Pennsylvania

Why has MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) become so prevalent in our communities? Actually it has been gradually increasing in strength and numbers. This is due in part to our increasing use of antibiotics. In 2003 health and sports officials were warning schools and sports teams about this hard-to-treat skin infection that is now plaguing athletes. The National Federation of State High School Associations sent warnings to states about staph infection... More

It takes some planning along with a little creativity to have your school stand out against the rest. Here are a few tips, courtesy of some spirit-savvy veterans.... More
Getting the Kids Involved in Saving for College
Reading, Pennsylvania

The World War II generation got a taste of higher education through the G.I. Bill and made it a point to supplement or pay their kids’ tuition. It was a struggle, but a far more manageable one than it is in this day and age. Figures from the University of Texas in 2005 showed that since the 1960s, the price of a public higher education has risen from about five... More
ON THE ROAD TO RESPECT
Reading, Pennsylvania

The large schools in the Berks Inter-County League have long been the Rodney Dangerfield of Pennsylvania High School football. The teams haven’t gotten any respect.
