Was the winter solstice on December 21 this year? It seems like I had heard that somewhere. That did seem a little early, but maybe not.

Somewhere I also heard that there was less than a minute more daylight right away, so you indeed shouldn't notice that for awhile. But time flies when you're having fun or getting older and I would imagine that could be scientifically proven. Especially if it's in the form of a phone app....

Ipswich claimed a 40-33 boys' high school basketball road win over LRC rival Langford Area last Thursday in Langford.

But treys by Ian Beyers and Trevor Beyers, respectively plus a two-point basket by Taylor Thorson and another from Colby Sylte would suddenly lift Ipswich into a 40-28 lead. The hosts managed a trey plus a two-point basket as the game clock was winding down. So...
