Chase Utley joins a growing list of injured Philadelphia Phillies so far this year.
Add Chase Utley to the list. Just when you thought the Philadelphia Phillies second baseman might make it through the year injury-free, Utley has now been shelved by an oblique strain. He's the latest casualty on a growing list of players that could sink the Phillies season before we hit June. Utley's out. And he joins Carlos Ruiz, who has a foot injury that will keep him out of action for several weeks; fifth starter John Lannan, who got knocked out after a few starts; Roy Halladay, possibly out for the year after shoulder surgery, and Mike Adams, the key set-up man to closer Jonathan Papelbon. And don't forget that Ryan Howard is battling injuries that could linger all season. It's not looking good for a team that needs every player …

The nation’s golf spotlight will turn to Haverford Township next month when the U.S. Open comes to the Merion Golf Club. The 2013 U.S. Open runs June 10 through June 16 at the Merion Golf Club. Those of you who are familiar with the club know that there is not much parking in the area, so people are being bused in from two remote parking lots, one at PPL Park in Chester and the other from Rose Tree Park in the Media area, so the crowds won’t be confined to the immediate Merion area. If you’re heading to the event, or even if you’re not, you may be surprised by some of the rules set up by the United States Golf Association, which include the item that you can get thrown out for “making rude, vulgar, or other inappropriate comments or …

A music teacher at CW Henry invites residents to several upcoming music shows to help the music program.
Nikki Paulino teaches music, chorus, theater and dance at the CW Henry School in Mt. Airy, and at her school, just like other schools across the city, the music program is under attack for budget reasons. In order to fight back, Paulino has invited the community to attend several of the school's upcoming musical programs to see what's worth saving. "Our school is in West Mt. Airy, a community that is full of music and cultural diversity," Paulino said in an e-mail. "Taking away our instrumental teachers is detrimental to the community, as well as the entire city of Philadelphia." With that, Paulino has invited everyone to the annaul concert on May 28, at 7 p.m. "I am inviting you to help me plead my case to those who think they know …
Looking for something other than a Camry from one of the world's largest automakers.
My car’s rear seats don’t fold down. They did on my previous car, which was a coupe version of my current car, but my car’s first owner didn’t pony up the money for the cold-weather package … so now I’m stuck with a small trunk and no headlamp washers. First world problems, I know. And because my seats don’t fold down, whenever I want to go skiing, or surfing, or just carry a long stick in my vehicle, I’ve got to run to my mother. She drives a 2001 Toyota RAV4. It’s cavernous, can plow through 2 feet of snow with its gas-guzzling, always-on 4-wheel drive system and 70-series tires, and is probably the slowest vehicle I’ve ever driven. I’m always welcome to drive it when I need to take a tortuous trip to Ikea and I love it. But, being a …

Everything is OK. The new Head Cheese is the current third base coach. Charlie Manuel can go now and all will be forgiven. They had a good run but the Phillies are older now and if I may quote the Roliing Stones,who know better than anyone,"time waits for no one,and it won't wait for me". more ›
