After much hard work and determination, Wendy Bear’s new tea cup ride spun for the first time down at the North End. It has been a long time since the first time we laid eyes on the new ride, packed away in a container. But a little elbow grease and el…

If there is one thing I have learned by being a hospice nurse it is this. We need to own our own life while we can. We think we do own it. But we really don’t. Our work owns it. Our debt owns it. Our responsibilities own it. Our family owns it. Our ill…

Presque Isle State Park! I love it! There is nothing about this little gem of a park I don’t like. And although I have lived here all my life it wasn’t until I started birding that I finally realized all this park has to offer. As a child and teenager…
