  • We Are in a Battle for the Soul of America0

    I have waited to write this article until President Joe Biden officially announced his intention regarding the 2024 election. Last Tuesday, he did just that, releasing a video asking the American people for more time to “finish this job.” Before I get started, I want to clarify that I would be writing the same words

  • Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute0

    Don’t say I’ve never done anything for you. I’m a helper, so I’m helping. If you have a mom, grandmother, aunt — anyone that you view as some sort of maternal figure, do them and yourself a favor and don’t wait until the last minute to do something for them for Mother’s Day. Not only

  • Moving Towards May0

    As I awoke early and watched the news, it was just more of the same. Please don’t let as-seen-on-TV affect your mental health; turn it off, pray, and go about your day. There are a few topics I’ve been meaning to hit, as well as some words from you on black bear break-ins, so away

    “The sultan of swat!” “The king of crash!” “The colossus of clout!” “The colossus of clout!” “BABE RUTH!” “THE GREAT BAMBINO!” “Smalls, Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player that ever lived. People say he was less than a god but more than a man. You know, like Hercules or something. That ball you just

  • The Neighborhood Bear is Back Smarter than Ever0

    Springtime brings the return of the Pennsylvania black bear to many neighborhoods across the West Branch Valley. They are looking for a quick and easy meal, whether it be from a bird feeder, garbage can, picnic basket, or whatever they find appetizing that day. This was the case in my neighborhood last week, as there

  • Let’s Go Do Something0

    If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times. If you claim there is nothing to do around here, you aren’t even trying. I haven’t done one of these in a while, so let’s run through some upcoming local activities, because there is little in the world I enjoy more than being right.

  • Sexual Assault Awareness Month0

    In July of 2016 I wrote the following: “Let’s make this perfectly clear. Crystal clear. Just-Windexed-sun-streaming-in-clear. There is never, and I mean never, a justification for rape or sexual assault. I don’t care if you bought her a drink. I don’t care if you bought her dinner. I don’t care if she flirted with you.

    Love, Life and Selflessness: Easter Thoughts from Father Manno0

    As I gathered the information this past week, I intended to write about how we must protect our children when they go to school. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the innocent victims of the Covenant School shooting. A 9-year-old child should never have to worry about going to school, nor should their

    Diamonds, Deadlifts, and Yardsticks0

    It was a beautiful sun-drenched Tuesday afternoon last week, and I couldn’t wait to get out of the office and up to Historic Bowman Field.  There was a doubleheader to be played at the amazing ballpark that has only gotten better with age.  A couple of games being played at Bowman is nothing new, but

And the West Branch Builder’s Home Show is the unofficial kick-off to spring. I always look forward to spending a couple of hours at the show each year.
