48 Years On: Personal Memories of the Kennedy Assassination
Read more: 48 Years On: Personal Memories of the Kennedy AssassinationThanksgiving week usually brings happy memories of holidays past, but 48 years ago today our nation mourned in stunned silence when a President was murdered. Jane Gittler, a Berwick native and long-time Bloomsburg resident was an 18 year old nursing student in Washington, DC in November of 1963. She recalls her experiences in the days following the assassination as she stood in line with thousands of others to see President Kennedy lying in state at the US Capitol. Washington, D.C., November 22, 1963. I walked out of my chemistry midterm shortly after noon on that Friday. The director of the…

Thanksgiving Recipe: Orange Marsala Cranberry Sauce with Sage
Read more: Thanksgiving Recipe: Orange Marsala Cranberry Sauce with SageI make it no secret that I am a little particular about what kind of food I generally serve. I wouldn’t call myself a total food snob, because I still enjoy a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese as much as the next person. It’s just that when I cook, I rarely use processed or convenience items. This morning I bought both Cream of Mushroom soup and Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. Sometimes tradition wins out. And sometimes it’s OK that you serve Green Bean Casserole and don’t make rolls from scratch. Our Thanksgiving meal has a certain set of necessary items…

Thanksgiving Recipe: Portuguese Stuffing
Read more: Thanksgiving Recipe: Portuguese StuffingAs a Thanksgiving treat, we’ve established a partnership with, Cuizoo. Cuizoo is a local food and photography blog by Kristin Camplese.

Creative marketing has led us to believe that families don’t have time to cook, that we need processed food to provide short cuts, that cooking from scratch…

Weather Won’t be a Turkey this Thanksgiving Week
Read more: Weather Won’t be a Turkey this Thanksgiving WeekEveryone knows the song “Over the River and Through the Woods”, the classic Thanksgiving song that tells a tale of traveling through snow to grandma’s house for the big feast. Nice to think about, unless you actually have to travel to grandma’s house for Thanksgiving – snow is the last thing you need. Fortunately, at least in the Bloomsburg area, there’s not much chance for snow this Thanksgiving week. There will be rain – showers spread into Pennsylvania on Monday but a stronger storm system brings the potential for some heavier rain late Tuesday into Wednesday. Temperatures during this time…

Sunday Slowdown: Do Schools Kill Creativity?
Read more: Sunday Slowdown: Do Schools Kill Creativity?I don’t know about you, but I just looked up and the winter holiday season seems to bearing down on us in a big way. Getting ready for Thanksgiving and everything that follows is a signal that the school year is approaching its mid-point. I can remember getting to this time of the year growing up in Bloomsburg and feeling that sense of hope, a hope that school was turning a corner. I had some amazingly interesting and creative experiences at BHS, but there were too many times I hoped the year would come to a close. With that said,…
