Never let a good crisis go to waste. The big government crowd operates by that rule, using it as frequently as possible to expand their intrusiveness into our lives.Some community bankers - the people we deal with for car loans, mortgages, checking accounts and any number of other financial ...
Dear Editor,For many of us, the upcoming election may be the most critical one in our lifetime.I've heard several people say they don't want anything to do with "politics". Others have said, "There are no good choices so why should I vote?"As a Christian, I think I have an answer for their ...
Most of the young people today have no concept of hand-me-downs because we live in a throwaway society. They do not think about preserving things and passing them on to someone else. Oh, they may go through their closet and decide to give something away when it is Goodwill Day at a local ...
So I'm driving down Conewango Avenue, just after St. Paul Lutheran Church headed north. It's that block just after Division Street. The leaves are changing. The smell of photosynthetic death is all around, which is a good smell for freaks like me, who love fall, and there's some dude push ...
It's almost World Series time. I'm not a baseball fan. I doubt I could even name all the major league teams. I did attend a Pirates game one time and saw a couple home runs and a triple play. It was a high-scoring affair so it was great. I also attended a couple of "Dog Day" Jamestown Jammers ...
She was on this earth 98 years, one month and 30 days and except for this past summer, she lived them all to the fullest. I've been lucky enough to be around for the longest part of her century-pushing span.This past weekend we held my mother's memorial service and gave her the sendoff party ...
InstinctA reporter went to a school board meeting and a parade broke out. When a school district administrator knocked the bowl of candy in front of him over, several pieces landed on the floor. The reporter, watching from 20 feet away, had a strong urge to charge over and grab all the loot and ...
Too many Americans do not seem to be making an important connection between policies enforced by President Barack Obama and espoused by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.Many may understand, as Donald Trump, Clinton's opponent, put it, that Clinton is waging "war on energy."But they do not ...
Fall has many defining characteristics related to the outdoors world. But something that happened a little over a week ago seems to me uncharacteristic.I was sitting on my porch, really just a front concrete stoop with a roof, reading during one of my frequent, daily work breaks outdoors when a ...
Editor:As a person who sees far too much bullying and cruelty in our paper, online and on TV, I witnessed a lady act as I think God Himself would be proud of.One of my jobs leads me to do much observation of people and sometimes animals. I've seen, of course, some negative behavior. I have seen ...
Editor:Thank you Joe Colosimo. It is refreshing to see a person on the school who wants to stop the bricks and mortar and pay more attention to the needs of the students and teachers.School board members talked about the five-year plan. What about the ten-year plan? At the rate student ...
Editor:Back in the day, before the drugs - domestic violence in sports that we know of, and without TV coverage that we have today, maybe it was happening, who knows?But who I am writing about is about Pete Rose, who was a very good baseball player. But I never liked him.In the time, he was too ...
Dear Editor:I had my annual physical exam at the Warren Veterans Administration Clinic last week. What a pleasant experience. I was in and out in a little over a half hour. The facility is spotless, the staff professional, personal, friendly and helpful. We Warren County veterans are indeed ...
Dear Editor,I read that Youngsville is playing with only 15 football players and may have to cancel later games.Also, in recent years, Sheffield needed Abraxas athletes to fill its roster. Things have changed a lot since I played football for Youngsville from 1958 to 1960. Back then, we had ...
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's pledge to make America's streets safer is nonsense, opponent Hillary Clinton has insisted. Why, the nation already is safe, she explains.Let us give her the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps she just was not aware of an upsurge in violent crime.FBI ...
Dear Editor,We always seem to be reading of bad things that happen in our area, but I'd like to send out my thanks to the guys in our public works department. They all have done an outstanding job this year, what with the storm damage, repaving and all their normal duties. A special thank you ...

It seems that I have lost more things in the car I have now than I have ever lost before. I guess you could question if some of the things were actually lost. Maybe some of it relates to my age. I am just not sure what is going on.My granddaughter and I attended a craft show where I sold my ...
Hi. My name is Stacey Rum and Coke.That's what it says on my name tag. It's the name tag that Youngsville Chief of Police and DUI Task Force Coordinator Todd Mineweaser and Western Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Liaison for the Pennsylvania DUI Association Cathy Tress gives me.Well. Tress gave me ...
