  • The Lone Wiseman

    Dec 8, 2022

    Unlike the Lone Ranger, who first emerged in disguise after surviving a wild shootout with the Cavendish Gang, a Lone Wiseman appeared peacefully at Christmas time 63 years ago in our home. The Wiseman’s emergence was neither miraculous nor prophetic, but he became legendary never-the-less. I was in the first grade as I recall and had saved a few cents from my allowance, which I was bent on using to purchase something for my mom for Christmas. When I spotted a set of The Three Wise Men in Paly...

  • Books to Borrow Williamsburg Public Library Recommends

    Jennifer R. Hoffman|Dec 8, 2022

    “Come out, come out, wherever you are.” Mack knows she can win. She was champion at this game when she was little, when it mattered most. She was the only winner that fateful day, the last day she played hide-and-go-seek with her family, not that she felt like she won. She was the sole survivor then. She can do it again. Mack knows how to hide. The challenge? Spend a week hiding in an abandoned amusement park. Don’t get caught. Fourteen competitors. Seven days. It’s going to be the most...

  • Pay It Forward: Local Businesses Can Help Each Other

    Dec 8, 2022

    The power of small businesses is immense. However, starting a small business is no easy venture. The financial resource Fortunly states that roughly 22 percent of small businesses will fail in their first year of operation. Thirty percent fail because they run out of cash. One of the ways a small business can do better is to utilize the support of other local businesses. Business owners often conduct market research to identify who their competition is and to determine if there is room in the...

  • Are you Good at Waiting?

    Dec 8, 2022

    John the Baptist or John, the Baptizer, is a colorful character in our scripture. He’s a rough but utterly sincere character with everything he owns on his back. He’s as wild as the wilderness that he has chosen for his pulpit, preaching to everyone who will listen. We definitely hear in his answers that he knows he is not the key. He knows the real one is coming after him, but John the Baptist is not merely a warm-up act for Jesus. The Jewish historian Josephus tells us that the sheer size...

  • Thought for the Week

    Paster Earl Herr|Dec 8, 2022

    The Journey has begun. The Son has left His home in Heaven. I asked John McConahy to do an illustration that would project a prosperous man leaving. But this was not truly the case. When The Christ left, He took nothing with Him. Philippians 2 tells us that The Son was absolutely equal with The Father. But, He left all that splendor behind. It has been long ago that I began courting Sharon. But I well remember I tried to dress and look my best. When Christ came to earth, He did not come with an...

  • From the 'Burg to Your Kitchen

    NATALIE GORSUCH, Williamsburg Correspondent|Dec 8, 2022

    Every year, I’ve willed myself to make a new cookie to try and bake. Last year, I made snickerdoodles. Growing up, we were raised on the standard — sugar, chocolate chip and peanut butter blossoms, so I never got to experience what a snickerdoodle was. Now, I get to share the recipe with all of you. Snickerdoodles Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup shortening 2 eggs 2 3/4 cup flour 2 tsp. cream of tartar 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 cup sugar 2 tsp. cinnamon Directions: Heat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Season For Socks: Local Woman Donates to Those in Need

    NATALIE GORSUCH, Williamsburg Correspondent|Dec 8, 2022

    When we think of giving for the holiday season, items such as monetary donations come to mind, but for one Williamsburg woman, socks are the best thing to give. For six years, Tabitha Clowson has been collecting socks throughout Williamsburg for the holiday season. "New socks are the least donated items of clothing, yet one of the most needed items in shelters. Socks keep feet dry, free from disease and warm," Clowson said. "Living on the street, many unsheltered people rarely take their shoes...

  • To Tree or Not to Tree: What Goes into Choosing a Tree

    KATHY MELLOTT, For the Herald|Dec 8, 2022

    The halls may be decked with boughs of holly and the jingle bells may ring when the door is opened, but if the corner that long hosted the pine tree remains bare, Christmas still needs to show up there. As the decades-old debate over real or fake continues to rage, the number of natural trees gracing homes, at least in this area, is dropping and it's mostly not out of choice. In the event you have yet to shop for your live tree, it might be best to start beating the proverbial bushes. Now, just...

  • A Memorable Doe Day

    Dec 8, 2022

    Twenty-five years ago on Dec. 15, 1997, I experienced the most unusual doe-day hunt I have ever had. This occurred during the wonderful years of two weeks of buck hunting followed by two or three days of antlerless deer hunting. There were still lots of public-land deer at the time. I had failed to tag a buck during the two-week season. Though I had seen some deer, none had sported antlers. On Dec. 15, I had set up in a treestand on my wife’s family’s farm. Though I have never been much for killing does, the farm was experiencing crop...

    After making an appearance in the state semi-finals the year prior, the Central Scarlet Dragons were eager to take the next step this year through the match against the Belle Vernon Leopards.
