In this June 20 article, the Wall Street Journal reported a study by Angi (formerly Angie’s List) that home maintenance and emergency repairs have increased by 85% and 175%, respectively, from 2019 to 2025.

A first-round lead didn’t hold up the second day as the defending golf champion Marymount University Saints finished second in the Centennial Conference Championships.

The lacrosse playoffs haven’t begun, but the Yorktown Patriots were in postseason form with a couple of recent big victories over a four-day span against two perennial powers and former girls state champions.
