Mixed Media: Keeping up with the Main Line Art Center
By Caroline Roosevelt, Columnist, The Times
I hope you had the opportunity to tune in to WCHE 1520AM on Wednesday when I interviewed the new Executive Director for the Main Line Arts Center, Thomas Scurto-Davis for Art Watch.
In preparation for any interview, I write out a script that I follow which contains a series of questions peppered with some fun tidbits I like to add for authenticity,...
Editorial: Democracy cannot survive without a free press
Today, newspapers — digital and print — around the United States will publish editorials decrying attacks on the free press by President Donald J. Trump and other elected officials.

A peek behind the curtain – and insiders look at a dental practice
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
When I was building my first office, I was amazed by the tremendous amount of time, energy and money that was needed for things that I felt had no direct relation to patient care.

Tomatoes, the jewels of summer.
It’s that time of summer when produce beckons. All of it. From that first bite into butter slathered corn on the cob, to that cherry tomato that bursts with flavor when you pop it into your mouth, to the juicy sweetness of red ripe watermelon. Even zucchini, that butt of too many jokes. Well, I’m sure...
The Stupid Kabuki of the statewide political races
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
My daughter is an aspiring musician/singer and as such, she often considers possible future band names — it’s a bit of a running joke between us these days.
Which is, of course, why I nominate Stupid Kabuki as both a possible addition to her list and a perfect description of Pennsylvania’s two statewide races this fall.
