Labor Day, the first Monday in September, generally signifies the end of Summer and back to school for the kids.

Most of the time, when you see a deer in the road, it's already too late.  You pretty much have to just hope that the damage is minimal.  If you've ever driven in these parts, you likely have had an episode where a deer ran out in front of your vehicle.

Personally, I'm glad this chapter is far behind me.  I kind of wish I had seen something like this back in my teaching days.  I think it would have avoided a lot of frustration.

Most people who enjoy toast, for years, have been under the impression that the number dial on the toaster, indicates the level how toasted you want your bread.  Others believe that the number indicates the number of minutes your bread is toasted.

Most of the time, when I'm on excursions with the family, I like to check out places that are typically hidden gems, or not as well known as some other places.  Ausable Chasm is definitely not one of them.

We've all seen coffee makers that you can preset the night before, but you've never seen a coffee maker like this one.

If you are looking for some great local theater featuring some great local talent, then look no further.  Players of Utica, located on State Street in Utica, has a great lineup in store.

May be a little too late to take the kids this summer, but wouldn't it be so cool to pack up the car like Clark W. Griswold and hit the open highway?

Well, I guess it's pretty much not a secret anymore if I blast it here.  Without going into specifics, this recipe is one used by a famous local BBQ place.

The card game UNO has been around for many years.  I recall playing as a kid and I still play with my own kids now.  But have we been playing wrong?

It's that time of year again folks.  Cub Scout Pack 93 from Whitesboro needs  your help.  They are doing their annual popcorn sales to help pay for camp and other activities throughout the year.

Uh oh, be careful kids, you just might learn something during summer vacation.
