Sold on auctions: Bidders can find variety of items across region

Come Tuesday evening, Ray Austin is ready to make some deals. Wearing a black cowboy hat, jeans and a short-sleeved shirt, the man known as "the King of Auctioneers" took the stage of the Cooperstown Junction auction barn on a warm June evening, microphone in hand, just as the clock on the wall signaled 5:30 p.m. Adopting a gunslinger's stance, Austin turned on his microphone and gestured to a couple hurrying through the back door. "Get right in here," Austin rasped. ....more>>

  • Teen Talk: Teenhood Today: How to get an A without really trying
    There is a certain experience that is absolutely necessary for all students to go through at some point in their lives _ an experience that, like falling in love or being turned into an apple, is an essential part of growing up.

  • Senior Scene: As Time Goes By: The true stress of stress tests
    "When in the course of human events," there will come a time in everyone's life when your friendly cardiologist will utter those fateful words "I think we should get a stress test." This is stated in the same tone of voice as your urologist saying "bend over and hang onto the examining table." (In the service they always told you to "bend over, grab your ankles and spread your cheeks," if you think about it, it is impossible to do _ it really hurts your face.)

  • Tech, G.P.: Paying for online news is only fair
    I've never tried to keep it secret. I'm a junky. A news junky. I usually read 10 different Internet news sites a day. Sometimes more. Seven days a week.

  • Thank heaven for little girls
    Having a daughter can change the course of a man's life. Certainly becoming father changes things altogether but from the moment a baby girl enters his life, the outlook of a dad's world is altered in unexpected ways. A son is a mirroring and, like it or not, a comparison that a man can immediately relate experiences, while a daughter is a unique creation under his care.

  • Teen Talk: A Word of Advice: Appreciate all parents do for you
    We, as teenagers, don't fully understand how much work our parents do for us.

  • Senior Scene: From the Office: Some advice on meds
    Medications and how to afford them, using them as directed so that we get the proper benefit and disposing of them safely when we no longer need them are issues that affect many of us in our daily lives.

  • Parenting Imperfect: Trying to keep mischief contained
    My in-laws have a couple of stories that they like to tell about my husband. There are several tales of mysterious fires and/or explosions. A few involve minor tortures delivered upon the family cat. (Said cat, by the way, gave as good as she got and lived for two decades despite routinely having her whiskers trimmed and her paws taped.)

  • Hanford Mills offers history lesson with impact on today
    The water wheel stops the conversation at Hanford Mills in East Meredith. As educational as it is to talk about the place's purpose, watching the water wheel start to turn is as much fun as watching the guys on "Mythbusters" blow stuff up. Which is to say, a lot of fun.

  • Teen Talk: On The Go: Running together as team

  • disABILITY: Teaching 'right' way not always best
    As crazy as it seems to me, my calling in life might not be a doctor or a law professional, but rather I might just be destined to be a rehab teacher for people with vision impairments.

  • Senior Scene: Looking Back: 'Free' often isn't free
    The classified advertising for a Mr. Ding-A-Ling man brought back fond memories of years gone by when daily, on time, we kids would hear the familiar bell-jingle of the Good Humor truck. Grabbing our pennies, we would scamper down the road for our daily treat, and hopeful with the possibility of a 'free-lucky' popsicle stick.

  • Inspired by those who served: Korean War vet recalls D-day heroes
    The largest land, air and sea invasion in history occurred on June 6, 1944, on the sands of Normandy, France, when more than 152,000 Allied ground troops and 23,000 paratroopers from the United States, England and Canada, stormed the beach to drive back the occupying Nazis. By the end of that fateful day, known as D-Day, about 10,000 troops were killed in action.

  • Teen Talk: Weekend Reviews: A perfect pair of movies
    Greetings, my readers. I am here today to speak with you on some new movies that have come out. Yes, I am writing a movie review again. This month, we will be looking at "Star Trek" and "Miss March."

  • Senior Scene: About your health: Always ask if generic can be used
    Ever wonder about brand name versus generic medications? For seniors, who typically use the highest numbers of prescription drugs, it pays to be informed about differences, if any, and the costs.

  • Around the Arts: Rainbow of events keeps shining
    I'm not very proficient when it comes to using technology in my work or personal life.

  • Keeping pets cool in thedog days of summer: Take steps to protect animals
    Summer is just around the corner. That means warmer weather, cooling off in the pool or local swimming hole, working outside, traveling and so much more, oftentimes with our families. For many of us, our pets are an important part of our family. So, make sure your pet is safe and comfortable during the dog days of summer.

  • Teen Talk: Teenhood Today: Blurry line between right and wrong
    There are some things that everyone generally agrees are unacceptable _ things that are inherently "wrong."

  • Senior Scene: As Time Goes By: Pills seem to define my life
    Sometimes we expect professional people to have greater capabilities then they really have.

  • Tech, G.P.: Netbooks look great for the basics
    Years ago, being honest in a Playboy interview, Jimmy Carter admitted his lust. If I'm going to be honest, I suppose I should do likewise and admit my lust, too.
