GWYNEDD VALLEY Gwynedd Mercy Academy has a young team. There are only two seniors on the roster and just two players with district playoff experience from 2019. When the eighth-seeded Monarchs took the field for the first round of the 2021 tournament, they looked like an experienced group. Senior Nicole Conwell scored 40 seconds into the game and GMA led the rest of the way, finishing with a 15-8 win over No. 9 Merion Mercy in the District 1-2A playoffs at Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School Tuesday afternoon. âTeam-bonding on and off the field really made it feel like there werenât any grades,â Conwell said. âIt felt like everyone is a senior. The sophomores and juniors definitely stepped up and we have a lot of talent. They all play club and they all work hard outside of school.â ....

Osborn stands with his hands on his hips, looking the tree over, eyeing the spots where he plans to plug in a branch cut from the spare tree. “This tree needs a fitting,” he announces. “Where’s the drill?” he asks Howard. Once he finds a gap, Osborn tries out several spare branches by pushing them into the spot and checking for size, color (the shades of green may vary from silver to blue), and variation (the density of the needles will differ depending on what side of the mountain a tree is grown on). Howard steps back to inspect the look. “There’s a relationship between the height and the width of the tree that you must keep in mind,” he says, and he gives Osborn’s branch his approval. Howard then drills an angled, inch-deep hole into the trunk of the tree while Osborn uses a butcher knife to whittle the end of the branch down to size. Then they hot-glue the branch into the hole. ....
A diaspora of Hoosier politicos in DC made big job moves this week, a sign of the enduring and sprawling political networks forged by former Vice President Mike Pence and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. This week, the former vice president launched a new political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, ahead of a possible 2024 presidential bid, and added a half dozen former boldface names from the Trump administration as advisers, including former White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway and CMS Director Seema Verma. Meanwhile, Pence s nephew, John Pence, a former Trump campaign official, joined the public affairs group of Ice Miller LLP, along with former national deputy political director for Pete Buttigieg s presidential campaign. ....

Presented by President Joe Biden seems doubtful that Congress will do much on the issue, so he’s focusing his energy where he thinks it stands the best chance of making a difference. | Andrew Harnik/AP Photo “No amendment to the Constitution is absolute. You can’t yell ‘fire’ in a crowded movie theater and call it freedom of speech. At the very beginning, you couldn’t own every weapon you wanted to own … certain people weren’t allowed to have weapons.” ....
