Safe Space: Local programs offer youth a place for fun, learning, de-stressing during after-school hours
As the new school year begins, many working parents are faced with the quandary about what to do with their tweens and teens after school. A number of factors help determine whether kids stay home alone: maturity, comfort being home alone, and how well they get along with their siblings. But this decision is solely up to parents because Pennsylvania has no law specifying what age children are permitted to be home alone. Kids that age are clamoring for freedom, though they often require supervision. Thankfully, there are options for parents.

Donegal Runs Past Tough Week One Defeat, Runs Over Columbia In Response As Indians Claim Inaugural ‘Battle of the Rock’ In Latest Chapter Of Longtime Series
In some respects, the game of high school football is a bit of an oddity and an outlier. For example, are there any other sports in the known free world where the number of months that make up the offseason actually compare, if not totally outweigh, the number of opportunities found in the number of games played themselves? Maybe that’s a bit of a Captain Obvious moment –or perhaps not if you hadn’t ever thought of it in that way before—but when you figure that the months of preparation comes in at a sweet spot of roughly ten months give or take and then realize that the number of game guaranteed to a team is that same exact number, ten, it’s easy to understand why the window of opportunity in this particular sport is oh so precious. Unfortunately, we’re not talking about field hockey, basketball, or insert any other sport of choice here, where there’s always another game right around the corner. To that end, that’s why the old cliché of not letting one loss turn into two is more than just lip service- it’s a hard reality. And on this Friday night, exactly seven days after each their saw respective campaigns both begin with shared 0-1 marks, time was of the essence for two old rivals over in Mount Joy.
