The View from Here: The Bars of Bloomsburg
Read more: The View from Here: The Bars of BloomsburgWhen I was in college I would come home for the Thanksgiving break and get to see all my high school friends. Most of them had gone off the school, but the Thanksgiving weekend was a chance to come home, spend time with family, and get together with the friends that matter the most. Typically I’d get in on Thursday morning and spend the whole day with my parents and sister as the house filled with the smell of Thanksgiving dinner. I think you know the drill all to well — eat until you can barely move and then fall…

Happy Thanksgiving from The Bloomsburg Daily
Read more: Happy Thanksgiving from The Bloomsburg DailyWhen we started The Bloomsburg Daily we were all hurting from the flood caused by Tropical Storm Lee.

President Soltz issued a statement several days after the events at Penn State transpired which encouraged those in the university community to alert authorities about potential sexual abuse that may be occurring on campus. However, we wanted to dig a little deeper in order to discuss what training and procedures are in place behind the scenes and what the requirements for reporting are for university police.

Thanksgiving Recipe: Smoky Scalloped Potatoes with Sausage
Read more: Thanksgiving Recipe: Smoky Scalloped Potatoes with SausageI’m thinking there is a guide to parenthood somewhere that I forgot to read. Before I had kids, I imagined parenting to be similar to, um, living — except with children. And I know that sounds simplistic and parenting is much harder than just living, but I guess I imagined that I would continue to do things that I enjoy, rather than things that I do not. This isn’t making much sense, is it? You see, there is an entire underbelly to our culture that I truthfully had no idea existed until I had children. Festivals. Apparently, once you have…
