Entsminger’s supervisor, Crystal Jacobs, played the role of the infamous Dr. Seuss book villain. Postal business is brisk during the holiday season. The local post office has handled more than 7,000 packages on each of the last few Mondays, compared to about 2,500 packages on that day, typically. Mail volume here is currently up about 30 percent and packages are more than double their usual amounts, postal officials said. (EXAMINER PHOTO | T.J. HUBBARD)
