One local organization is trying to help with that task. That organization is “Horses and Heroes.” It is a division of “Horses and

Summer is synonymous with relaxation and fun in the sun.

Lately, I’ve been exploring collagen and other supplements to boost my nutritional health and beauty routine. There’s nothing new about supplements; many adults and children take vitamins or dietary supplements, including fish oil capsules, folic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids.

As I headed down the beltway toward Montoursville, right where cars merge on from the Faxon on ramp, there was no doubt in my mind what was about to happen. I was in the right lane with a tractor-trailer to my left, as a car traveling at a high rate of speed was about to

It’s that time of year again. We’ve warded off second — or third — winter and warmer temperatures are here to stay, hopefully.

In this day of endless information sources, it is very challenging to know what to believe, who is right and who is wrong, and how to tell the difference. I learned a lot about human nature while living in the former USSR for sixteen years. In those early days of the early 1990s, the Berlin
The winter doldrums are finally behind us, and although this spring has been offering more wet weather than usual, for outdoorsmen who are about to spend an increasing amount of time in the out of doors in the upcoming months, it is only a matter of time until you come in contact with ticks.

Writer-director Woody Allen recently notched his 50th film — but this Woody has no buzz … not even for such an impressive milestone. The once-beloved auteur behind such landmarks as Annie Hall, Manhattan, Sleeper, and (my favorite) Crimes and Misdemeanors, Allen holds a record 16 Oscar noms for screenwriting.
