When she isn’t fishing or working, Dorothy Parker, a millennial from Washington, plants cucumbers and strawberries and, for the first time this year, sunflowers. Meet her in the next installment of our My American Story series, a monthlong series about the people who make up our community, in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is one in a monthlong series about the people who make up our community, in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. The predicted rain was late (if, indeed, it planned to arrive at all), so Dorothy Parker stood beneath a cloudless blue sky with a stretch of dock all to he...

The Chef Joe’s Omelet Run is scheduled for June 20 on the track at Uniontown Area High School’s Bill Power Stadium.

While an omelet may not be the healthiest choice when it comes to breakfast, having one once a year after completing a 5K or mile run shouldn’t hinder someone’s diet. In a race that was created by distance runner, coach and chef Joe Carei, this hybrid combines exercise and eating, which is all f...

Starting Friday, drivers who are caught with their eyes down, gazing at their phones, even at a stoplight or while they are trapped in traffic, could face $50 fines.

Driving southbound on I-79 in Washington County in recent days, motorists might have seen one of the highway’s electronic billboards bearing a simple message: “Phones Down, Eyes Up. It’s the Law.” And starting Friday, drivers who are caught with their eyes down gazing at their phones – eve...

Today, in celebration of America's 250th birthday, we are launching a limited series, "My American Story," telling the stories of the people who call Washington, Greene and Fayette counties home.
Our subjects were selected at random and graciously agreed to be interviewed so we could share their stories with you.
Each day leading up to the Fourth of July, we will profile one of our hometown folks, sharing their challenges, their triumphs and their defeats, and how they came to settle in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
It is that eclectic mix of individuals that makes living here so special.

Pam Perry is, in a way, both city mouse and country mouse. The woman born on the Boomer-Gen X cusp splits her time between her home in Canonsburg and an idyllic getaway home along the water in Rices Landing. “It’s just such a quiet, nice little area. It’s been just such a great escape for […...

Fairchance-Georges graduate Jay Reckard is a member of the Fayette County Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

Reckard is only the second person affiliated with Fairchance-Georges to be chosen for induction, and the first as an athlete from his old high school, which eventually consolidated with German and the old Albert Gallatin high schools to form Tri-Valley, which later changed its name to Albert Gallatin.

To Jay Reckard, being chosen for induction into the Fayette County Sports Hall of Fame is more than just a personal, individual honor. The humble Reckard used his selection as part of the Class of 2026 to recognize the many other talented athletes that came out of his alma mater at Fairchance-George...
