A Paws for Pets: We are their voice
It has been a very rough year at the shelter for some of the pets we have received. They have been taken away from their homes, and their owners have been charged with animal cruelty and/or neglect. It is very unfortunate, that not every home should have a pet. Also, every person doesn’t deserve a pet. Lately, here at York Adopt-A-Pet this plays heavy on my heart and mind daily with the unkind acts that the pets are enduring from their so called owners.

The Amish Cook: A fish fry at Uncle Vernon’s house
Editor’s Note: Judith is a friend of Gloria’s and fellow member of their Amish church. She is guest-writing the column this week. Gloria will return next week!. Stepping onto the porch at Uncle Vernon’s house, we were greeted with a cloud of smoke from the grill and hearty greetings from a variety of cousins and several uncles. Knowing that a fish fry at the Vernon Raber residence is always enjoyable and tasty, everyone looked forward to an evening of food and fellowship. We were all ushered to the back porch, where tables were set for everyone who paid for their meal. Yes, this time, we had paid for our fish not because Vernon is anywhere close to being stingy but because tickets sold at the Raber family along with a benefit auction were to generate money for a cousin’s husband, who is awaiting a liver transplant.
