Friday, September 6, 2019 by FRED CICETTI in Focus
Q. I’m 66 and I’m thinking of taking up a musical instrument. I hear that this will be good for my health. Is this true?

Respectfully Yours: Bad manners
Friday, September 6, 2019 by JACQUELYN YOUST in Focus
Dear Jacquelyn,
Is it ever alright to point out another person’s poor manners?
Dear Reader,
There are several answers to this question.
It depends on whose manners you want to correct. If it is your child, then naturally you should correct their poor manners.

Growing Green: Home is where mosquitoes are
Friday, September 6, 2019 by LEHIGH COUNTY EXTENSION in Focus
Mosquitoes are small, primitive flies that breed in standing water.
During their life, they pass through four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
The eggs, which are laid in or near water, hatch into larvae (wrigglers) within a few days. In many cases, the eggs are laid in bunches in distinct, raftlike structures, but they also may be laid singly.
The wrigglers feed on microscopic plant life, molt several times as they grow, and become tumblers, or pupae, that...
Movie Review: Inspiring ‘Maiden’ voyage
Monday, September 2, 2019 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
Mothers, take your daughters to see “Maiden.”
Fathers, take your daughters to see “Maiden.”
Mothers, take your sons to see “Maiden.”
Fathers, take your sons to see “Maiden.”
