    That’s right, I’ve been a “hunter” all my life. Yes, I’ve been involved in hunting ever since I was a kid in junior high school, but to be honest, my only interests are not just in bagging a deer or turkey every year, but I also enjoy seeing and encountering all kinds of wildlife. You

  • County Hall Corner: Why Do We Have a President’s Day?0

    I believe that Ronald Reagan gave us more of the best quotes about our country than any other president. As I was thinking about President’s Day, I remembered a quote by him, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be

    Major props to the Jersey Shore Bulldogs and the Loyalsock Lancers. The girls’ afternoon showdown was outstanding. It was a great idea that required lots of planning.

    The perusal of recent help-wanted ads in local media outlets underlines what can be a difficult challenge for area school districts seeking individuals to coach their various athletic teams.

    Winter weddings, while unconventional, can be quite magical. The season is primed to embrace so many elements of romance: roaring fires, snow-blanketed landscapes, crimson blooms, winter white cozy chic fashion, and so on and so forth.

    Shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts for men can be difficult. You want to get something thoughtful that they like or can, better yet, use, not just some cheesy, heart-shaped throwaway.

    The act of fishing is one thing, but the business of catching is a whole different story. I certainly don’t catch as many fish as I would like every time out, but I usually manage to put a bend in my rod often enough to keep me in the pursuit. There’s a vast amount of

  • Hot-Diggity “Dog Man”: DreamWorks Fetches a Tail-Wagger0

    At age 64, I remain convinced that deep in the soul of every middle-aged man, there’s a 12-year-old boy who never grew up. That’s why grandpas still crack gas-gags with their grandsons. And it’s also why Dav Pilkey’s riotous “Captain Underpants” books were a hit with kids and grown-ups alike. (After all, that series features

    I know turkey season is over, but like many hunters, I’m always on the lookout for game — especially turkeys.

  • Crash Landing: “Flight Risk” Survives a Turbulent Script0

    Flight Risk is a short, swift thriller directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg as the bad guy. Despite a measly 21% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, the movie does its job reasonably well, managing to hold our attention despite a poorly thought-out script. Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery plays Madolyn Harris, a U.S. Marshal charged

    An unusual phenomenon has been happening all over the United States, and we have seen it in the northern part of Pennsylvania. It is the growing number of growing churches. Young people are discovering Christianity, and not just happy, snappy, 1960s-70s ‘Jesus Movement’ type of Christianity, but serious Bible-believing, doctrine-focused, disciple-forming faith Christians. Ironically, while
