The staff at Allentown Animal Clinic (AAC) has been a healing force for ailing pets since the 1980s. Dr. Debra Schoenberger opened the practice in the basement of a dental office in ... »

A Perfect Anomaly

A Perfect Anomaly

Brookside Country Club’s Halfway House The English language often applies the same name to several unrelated things. For example, your dog will “bark”; a tree is covered with “bark”; and, if you’re not careful, you may “bark” your shin on a low table. And when you hear the term “halfway house,” you might immediately think of a facility that helps people with physical, ment... »

Kitchen Dimensions

Kitchen Dimensions

A Pennsylvania Dutch proverb claims “No matter where I serve my guests/It seems they like my kitchen best.” And there’s a lot of truth in that statement, especially today. In many homes, well-appointed kitchens aren’t just food-prep areas—they do double-duty as bustling entertainment spaces. And if you’ve decided to give your kitchen a general facelift—or perhaps a complet... »

Girl on the Hill Framing

Girl on the Hill Framing

Despite our sophistication, we continue a practice of our cave-dwelling ancestors: placing mementos on walls. Crude paintings of wild beasts have yielded to diplomas, medals, and photographs, but the intent is the same. Girl on the Hill Framing in Bethlehem specializes in crafting artful displays for them. Owner Dawn Moser traces her artistic roots to her childhood years. ... »

Meals on Wheels

Thanksgiving Day is just a few weeks away, and we’re all anticipating a table loaded with enough food to feed an army. This time of year, it’s important to recognize that thousands of people in the Lehigh Valley won’t have that kind of meal.

Fire Prevention Month

Fire is an essential part of our lives. We use it for cooking, for heating, for industrial and scientific applications, for ambiance, even for many religious rites. But fire can easily become assertive and dangerous. Take the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. In two days, it destroyed 3.3 square miles of the city at a cost of $222 million (about $4.6 billion today).

Don’t Wait Bike Tour

Don’t wait. Those two little words summarize the approach of Ric Baxter, M.D. to hospice and palliative care.
