NoneThe Washington Commanders clinched a playoff spot with an overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. It marked the first time Washington has made the playoffs since 2020. It marks the first time the team has reached 11 wins since 1991. While it wasn’t an easy win by any means, Jayden Daniels and the Commanders offense came up clutch yet again when it mattered the most. After the Falcons tied up the game with an improbable touchdown pass from Michael Penix Jr. to Kyle Pitts on fourth down with less than a minute and 30 seconds remaining on the clock, Washington’s offense was stifled at the end of regulation. A pass interference penalty with two seconds remaining in regulation gave the Falcons a chance to attempt a 56-yard field goal that would have won the game, but it came up short. Washington won the coin toss — and like so many times earlier this season — Daniels orchestrated a beautiful 12-play, 70-yard drive that was capped off by his third touchdown pass of the night. The Commanders rookie found Zach Ertz on a quick slant in the end zone which sealed Washington’s playoff fate. Daniels finished the game with 227 yards and three touchdowns through the air, while adding another 16 carries for 127 yards on the ground. After the game as players and fans celebrated on the field and in the stands at Northwest Stadium. But one of Washington’s leaders, Jeremy Reaves — who made it to the Pro Bowl last season as a special teams player — wasn’t done adding to the magical night. Reaves proposed to his girlfriend on the field, in a scene that local reporters captured on camera and many fans were on hand to witness. It was a cool scene in Washington , for sure.

Greece to Face Higher Costs if It Rejects Russian Gas – Russian AmbassadorOne day in the early 2000s, a shy boy about 13 years old knocked on then Executive Director Marcia Drozdowski’s office door. “Excuse me,” he said quietly. “If a kid wanted to come to the Y all the time, how could they do that?” Marcia recognized him from our Youth Mentoring Programs, and she knew he sometimes came after school as the guest of another member. Marcia explained that by joining the Y, he could come as often as he liked. When asked if he wanted to be a member, without hesitation he answered, “Yes!” His mother thought a Y membership wasn’t possible for their budget, but United Way funding helped us offer a membership at a reduced rate based on her income. Now able to come to the Y as often as he liked, he took advantage of every opportunity for several years. He came after school to shoot hoops and work out with friends. He received scholarships made possible by United Way funding to resident camp and youth soccer. Fast forward to today. That same young man has worked at our Y in several capacities since he was 19. He joined our summer day camp staff where he showed other kids how special it is to be part of the Y. Now he spends part of his workday mentoring youth and teens. Your gifts to United Way provided positive experiences for this young man when he was most vulnerable. Now, he is paying it forward by helping other kids learn, grow and thrive. Stories like this one are why I give to the United Way campaign. I urge you to do the same. Thank you on behalf of everyone whose lives will be changed thanks to your generosity. Michele Holloway CEO of Carlisle Family YMCA While it is said that “all is fair in love and war,” that is not true in politics when our Constitution is at stake. My fellow Republicans must be careful not to give credibility to our Democrat neighbors who falsely accused President-elect Trump of becoming a dictator! We Americans voted for our next President, and we also voted for our choices to go to Congress: in the House of Representatives and the Senate. One of the U.S. Senate’s greatest responsibilities is “advise and consent.” And the fact that President-elect Trump was voted a “mandate,” by the overwhelming decision of Americans does not suggest that he becomes a dictator. For members of the Senate believing that “a mandate” suggests removing their responsibility to the American people and abandoning their duties as the body of government that must “advise and consent” will only add fuel to the fire of giving credibility to the false accusation that Trump assumed the power of a dictator! I suggest that members of the U.S. Senate not become confused with Trump’s victorious win; their “advise and then consent” role in the Senate was a show of confidence by their constituents. As a separate body of government, that is to whom they must answer. Eugenio M. Albano Harrisburg I urge the county commissioners to fully fund our library system. Those of us with some years to our credit will remember that there was once a newscaster that everyone trusted. His name was Walter Cronkite and he once said “Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to the cost of an ignorant nation.” Bob Hauseman Carlisle Get opinion pieces, letters and editorials sent directly to your inbox weekly!
