  • UPMC Expert: Telehealth Seeks to Overcome Barriers in Rural Communities0

    UPMC Susquehanna

    Using the internet and wireless devices seems like second nature in our modern lives, but did you know that as many as 800,000 Pennsylvanians, or 6% of the commonwealth’s population, does not have access to broadband internet? These individuals and families lack the same connectivity options and technological opportunities as those with fast, strong, and

  • Buns and Braids0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    What a summer we are having friends. They say April is the cruelest month, but I’d vote for August with this heat and humidity. Even when the temps aren’t so high, the weight of moisture in the air may drive those of us with longer locks to the hairdresser for a chop. But if you

  • Local Man Recalls Dodger Announcer with Fondness0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Two weeks ago, the baseball world lost someone who was probably the preeminent baseball announcer — longtime radio and TV announcer, Vin Scully. His death has been widely mourned but perhaps not more so than the fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers, with whom he served as their prime announcer for 67 years, stretching back

  • Smell the Roses0

    Scott Lowery

    Embarking on a ten-hour car ride returning from a relaxing week in Tennessee’s Great Smokey Mountains, the Virginia hillside passed by, and country tunes were emanating from the car radio. But in reality, I was a bit oblivious to both. I didn’t realize it at the time, and I hadn’t heard the song in years

    Jamie Spencer

    I would personally like to congratulate the 20 teams who made it all the way to Williamsport for the 2022 Little League World Series.

  • Who’s Calling the Shots on National Defense and Diplomacy?0

    Jim Webb

    Since we don’t have term limits in Washington, you would think President Biden and all his cronies would understand just how fragile America’s freedom truly is. They lived through 9/11 in 2001. They witnessed the horror of that day and felt the emotions of our Nation being attacked and shaken to its very core. This

  • Take Care of Your Mental Health0

    Steph Noviello

    I think it’s safe to say that it’s tough out there today. There is so much going on in the world — drugs, rape, murder, poverty, hunger, abuse, insane inflation, racism, sexism, the rest of the -isms, health concerns, money concerns, trying to find enough hours in the day to get everything done that needs

  • Sophie, April, Molly, Maria, Brittany & the Little Lady: Six Films About Strong Women0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Two weeks ago, I rhapsodized over “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” the new release about a widowed British cleaning woman; then, in our last issue, I reviewed the online documentary, “What Is a Woman?” Noticing a trend, I decided this week to continue focusing on females — with a half-dozen films from my book on

  • So You Want to Get Into Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    Over the past couple of years, it seems like more people have hit me with the question, ” I want to get into fishing, so what equipment should I buy?” Well, it would take me a year of columns to answer that question, and I’m not sure that would still be enough. What I can

  • UPMC Specialist: Getting Sound Sleep Essential to Health0

    UPMC Susquehanna

    Summer is here and many adults, just like kids, take advantage of all the season has to offer by short-changing their sleep schedule.

    Wow. You look great. Have you lost weight? No. Diet Pepsi. No booze. Just a lot of wading. But jeez, you are so tan. Did you go to the beach? You must be playing some golf? No. No trips. Very little golf. Only fishing. Thanks for being so nice. Several years back, I came up

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    I’ll always savor long summer days, but as back to school draws near and autumn is faintly visible on the horizon, I’m ready for a mood shift to the cooler days of a crisp fall. With any change in the season, I’m looking ahead to some of this year’s must-have trends. Sure, not all trends

  • A Tale of Two Seasons0

    Scott Lowery

    It’s become somewhat of a common practice in many sports leagues around the country; a season divided into two halves. It’s usually done to create and maintain fan interest, sort of a mid-course correction giving teams in a league new life and enthusiasm. So, if you’ve been involved in a sport for more than 35

    Jim Webb

    I don’t think anything really prepares you for the passing of a parent, especially one you were close with. This even applies when you have time to mentally prepare as their days are drawing short, as was the case with my Father. As I got my thoughts in order to pen my column for the
