What exactly am I eating?
That’s the question I pondered as I took a big bite from a strangely adorned slice of pizza one morning on my way to work.
‘Pizza for breakfast?,’ you might ask. Well, stop your judging for just a minute and let me explain. It’s not what you think.

Recently chicken was on sale at the grocery store so I stocked up. Each time I open my freezer, though, I realize I may have gone a bit overboard.

I need to clear some space, so we’re having chicken this week in my house. But I’m not worried about everyone getting bored, because there are so many delicious chicken recipes.

I love chicken salad and Stacey Vadas’ Fabulous Chicken Salad.

In June 2007, the Kingdom Heirs introduced Andy Stringfield as their new pianist.

These days, they introduce him as their new baritone.

No, the multi-talented 29-year-old  musician hasn’t given up on the 52 white keys and 36 black keys.

He’s wearing two hats these days for the ambassadors of Southern gospel music.

The struggles of the first battles are over. The soldiers who fought them are now safely home. They can dream of doing things they once did…but for some, it will only be a dream.

These soldiers have returned scarred and disabled. The next battle, much harder and longer than the first, is just beginning. The disabled soldiers will need the committed love and help of others to endure their struggle.   

Those who choose to care for them are angels in our presence. These angels are real. This is one such story. It is true.

Editor’s note: We are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the Nov. 8, 2008, edition of The Lancaster News, at the request of our readers.

At one time, the significance of Nov. 11 – Veterans Day – wasn’t lost on anyone.

Of course, World War I ended years before I was born, but Uncle Harry made sure I was well-schooled on what he called the War to End All Wars.

There was a bunch of World War I soldiers around, too.

You’ve heard the old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words.” When it comes to preserving and enjoying history, that proverb is especially true. Fortunately, some of our very own Lancaster artists are doing their part to keep Lancaster’s history alive through visual arts. You’ll have a chance to see their work and meet some of them in person at the Cultural Arts Center, 307 W. Gay St., Lancaster, from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5.

GREAT FALLS – For the first time in his life, Henry “Bubba” Stevenson Jr. can offer a handshake. But it’s not your everyday handshake – it’s bionic.

Stevenson, 23, was fitted with a “1-limb ultra bionic arm” on Sept. 22.

Stevenson was born without arms. On his right side, his arm stops shy of his elbow and on his left side, there is only a nub below his shoulder.

Tucked away in the new subdivision College Place, John and Audrey Hadvab found just the right setting for their home seven years ago. As their home evolved so did their yard.
