By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times
With the arrival of autumn’s cooler temperatures, many people are thinking that it’s time to put away sandals and opt for warmer footwear.

On Your Table: Nothing says ‘Fall’ like apple pie
By Cathy Branciaroli, Food Correspondent, The Times
Nothing beats a great apple pie this time of year
Being a Midwest girl from Northeast Ohio I am particularly drawn to apples. Remember Johnny Appleseed? When we were kids my father took us and our bag of dropped apples to a cider mill nearby where our apples were popped in a bin with everyone else’s and we certainly enjoyed that pungent...

By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
The weather is finally cooperating just in time for my October edition of the Super Six! After that recent stretch of temps in the high 80’s I was beginning to think that fall would never arrive.
Maybe it has to do with fond childhood memories of back to school shopping or perhaps it’s the close proximity of the holidays, but I am in the mood for some...

Maybe I’m paranoid, but it seems like local Congress members are out to get me
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
By nature, I’m not really a paranoid guy, but it is starting to look like U.S. Senator Pat Toomey, U.S. Reps. Ryan Costello (R-6), Pat Meehan (R-7) and Lloyd Smucker (R-16) have it out personally for me and my family.
Okay maybe not personally — I’ve had cordial, even friendly relationships with some of them, and certainly interesting and insightful interviews...

By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times
