With The Salvation Army being our cover this week, I just thought it was fitting that I moved one of my annual topics up a couple of weeks. I have always been a big believer in the work The Salvation Army does. As most, I became familiar with the organization when I was only a
When fall comes around, I really start to crave everything with carbs. Soups, stews, pasta dishes — you name it, and I want to try it. I think it helps me to be able to stave turning on the heat just a little bit longer. You can’t be cold while eating a nice bowl of
The Salvation Army is one of the most beloved and effectual social service agencies anywhere — and locally — that is no exception.

Like most outdoorsmen right now, I, too, am spending as much time as I can trying to tag a deer. After one nine-hour day sitting in a treestand and another half day in my stand in the rain, I still have all my deer tags. While I’m caught up in the hunting scene right now,

We need to find some common ground. The title of this piece is a question that I entertain on a daily
Nightmares, defined as disturbing dreams associated with negative feelings, such as anxiety or fear. We’ve all experienced them at one time or another. Personally, despite not hitting the sack until well after midnight on those evenings last month spent watching the televised team celebrations of the American and National League champions headed to the World
“Why is a raven like a writing desk?” This was a riddle asked by the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland. I must admit that I am beginning to wonder if I have not fallen down the rabbit hole with Alice when it comes to the English language. I discovered the
With the whirl of Halloween behind us, and as we gear up for the holiday season ahead, the chill is officially in the air, and you may be finding yourself ready to pull out boots, hats, and scarves as we continue into fall. But functional pieces aren’t the only accessories you can use to mark
Common perception is that plastic surgery is cosmetic procedures to improve patients’ appearance, but in fact it is possibly one of the most diverse specialties.

If you’re providing at-home care for an ailing loved one, you’re not alone. According to AARP, there are more than 53 million unpaid caregivers in the U.S. That means, one in five Americans provide care for a loved one.

It’s a good thing the Pennsylvania Game Commission gives out a Hunting and Trapping Digest each year because it’s becoming more and more difficult to keep track of what is in season and when. When I started hunting as a young man, you hunted big game with a rifle and small game with a shotgun,
Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that allows striking and grappling, both standing and on the ground, using techniques from various combat sports and martial arts.

I love this time of year, and North Central PA is now shining. Fall brings us so many vibrant colors. Change is in the air. It is just a shame that it gets dark at 6:00 p.m. — this totally dampens my outdoor activities. Fishing is my passion. It serves as my zen. I am
