Shaler grad Miller aims to sharpen mental skills to reach potential with Carlow women’s golfVideo
Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra once quipped that baseball “is 90% mental, and the other half is physical.” Berra’s fuzzy math aside, his point is clear: Sports can be just as much about the mind as they are the body. Perhaps nowhere is this more applicable than in golf,...
Letter to the editor: The unborn should be treated with dignity
I was saddened to read the letter “We shouldn’t be punishing women” (May 15, TribLIVE) referring to children as “damaged goods.” What kind of a message does this send to our young people? Tragically, more than 63 million unborn children have died since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973....

Letter to the editor: Respect others’ viewpoints
Does letter-writer Lori Kregiel (“Refuse ads that spread misinformation,” May 14, TribLIVE) consider opinions that differ from hers “disinformation”?
