Bob at the Movies: ‘The Little Mermaid’
By Bob Garver Back in 1989, the animated version of “The Little Mermaid” ushered in what came to be known as the “Disney Renaissance,” an era of creative and commercial prosperity where the company reclaimed its position as the king of animated family entertainment. Now in 2023, the company is looking to a live-action version of “The Little Mermaid” to […]
Foot Notes: Evenings a perfect time for “wind down” runs
Over the course of this column I’ve probably written about the benefits of early-morning running at least a dozen times. There’s something that’s always appealed to me about getting a head start on the day with the rising sun while the rest of the world hits the snooze button. But as the years have gone by, I find myself more […]

More Brew Coming?
A conditional use hearing at Hummelstown Borough Council’s May 18 meeting turned into yet another referendum on parking in the borough. The applicants, Justin Hoak and his wife Aimee, want to create a “restaurant/tea house” business in their garage at 268 W. Main St., including the sale of cans of beer to go. The couple owns Yah Brew, a brewery […]
‘Let Them Do It’
First Donna, now Maria. At its May 22 meeting, the Derry Township School Board voted to launch a “fact-finding meeting,” on whether board member Maria Memmi used her position as a school board member to obtain “school district information,” which she allegedly posted on her social media account. The move came a year after the board voted to investigate board […]
Letters to the Editor
A couple observations. I agree with Joe Peters about the 422 E section where it narrows to 2 lanes as you pass Staples. Awkward. Also agree with Joe on the timing of the traffic light at Cocoa and Governor. Needs attention. You must wait way too long on Cocoa. I would like to compliment the Derry Township Police on their […]
From Where I Sit
Don’t know how much longer I’ll be writing for the paper as I’m contemplating buying a condo in Florida and moving south. Reason? I just won $2.6 million in the Publishers Clearing House lottery! At least that’s what the letter I received from them last week says. However, I do have to purchase $4,000 worth of insurance before they can […]
Notes From The Mayor
Last weekend was busy with Connecting our Community event, the ribbon cutting for Ellements of Health, and the Chick’s golf outing. I thought the turnout was pretty good for our first food truck/Connecting our Community event, but the rain could have held off just a little longer until the event was over. The golf outing had a full slate of […]
The Way
Little kids. White. Black. Yellow. One in a wheelchair. One at least two beats off. All singing as best they could. Together. That’s what was on stage the other day at a nearby nursery school. My adorable granddaughter, Mya, was among those taking part in the school’s spring show, but let’s be clear… Every single one of them was adorable. […]
View From Dove Hill
I attended the Stoverdale Yard Sale this past Saturday and brought with me eight quarts of hamburger macaroni soup. Well, actually I had Gary drop it off around 8 a.m. I am going to share my version of this delicious stuff. You don’t need a recipe: Brown as much ground meat as you want. If you are serving four to […]
