  • Letters to the Editor

    Apr 14, 2022

    To the Editor: For the past two years, how many people, myself included, have complained about the current state of our country? We, as Americans, have witnessed our freedoms slowly slipping away. The more important question is, “What are we doing about it”? Change does not occur by merely talking about the problems, change happens when people act. We send our representatives to Harrisburg and Washington, D.C., to be our voice. Good speeches and photo ops are not what we need. We need people who will take real action; who will stand with...

Others were prohibiting fishing on their land because of inconsiderate fishermen blocking access to their properties. Plans for improvements to the...

  • Seeds of Hope

    Apr 14, 2022

    What brings you a sense of hope as you go about your days? What has troubled you so much that you felt as though all hope was gone? I think the past couple years might have brought us all to places where we faced a new kind of bleakness. The pandemic, the isolation, were difficult on us all on top of our individual times of coping. In Psalm 128 the psalmist assures us that from grief and pain we can carry seeds that will sow new hope. I remember as I worked through my grief following my husband...

  • Daffodils And More

    Apr 14, 2022

    As spring fights to replace winter at this time of year, many outdoor people look for patches of yellow in the gray duff along back roads and waste areas.

However, around here it is mainly a non-native plant that adds splashes of bright color to an otherwise drab landscape. I look for the little dandelion-like flowers each spring. This year, I have noticed o...
