  • Five Trends to Toss0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    With the holiday decorations packed away, now is a good time to evaluate the state of one’s home with a bit of pre-spring cleaning.

  • A Rerun?0

    Scott Lowery

    Every so often to lighten the late-night mood, I find myself tuning in to WNEP-2 to catch reruns of the old Johnny Carson late-night show. While Carson’s monologue and guests are not timely, they remain funny and entertaining. Unlike the current late-night lineup of Carson wannabes whose mission seems to be hurling unfunny insulting jabs

  • Weird Words No. 31: A Little “Zhuzh” for Your Week0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    As I work on the weekly “World of Weird Words,” it’s always tough to sort through the 2300 terms on my oddball vocab list, figuring out which ones to offer this time. Last week marked our 30th installment, so I decided to factor that figure: two sets of 15, both restricted solely to five- and

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Now that we are in the throes of the gray days of winter, it doesn’t mean we have to let our hair follow suit. For those of us whose hair is adorned, for better or worse, with silver strands, learning how to cover gray hair is a useful skill to master between salon appointments. It

    Pennsylvania Elk-Tourist Attraction and Hunting Ambition0

    Ken Hunter

    Elk were native to Pennsylvania when the first European settlers arrived in our area, but the elk were no doubt a major and much-needed food source at that time. There were obviously no hunting regulations, and by the 1870s, Pennsylvania’s native elk were believed to be gone. The creation of the Game Commission, however, in
