Book Release - The Shadow of the Rumspringa
🚨 Exciting Announcement! 🚨
I'm excited to officially announce that my second novel, The Shadow of the Rumspringa, is currently planned for publication on May 25, 2027.
Set in the quiet Appalachian Amish community of Harmony Creek, this mystery-thriller begins when a shocking death sends ripples through a close-knit community.
As questions mount and hidden truths begin to surface, long-held secrets threaten to unravel the very foundation of the town.
Blending suspense, mystery, and unexpected twists, The Shadow of the Rumspringa explores faith, family, loyalty, and the consequences of the secrets we choose to keep.
Just as I did with my first book, the manuscript will be published through Lulu and will undergo their review process before being made available to readers worldwide.
Writing this book has been an incredible journey, and I'm looking forward to sharing more updates, previews, and the official cover as we move closer to launch day.
Thank you to everyone who supported my first book and continues to support my work as an author.
Your encouragement and feedback have helped make this next chapter possible.
📅 Planned Publication Date: May 25, 2027

Rotary News - Rotarian John Rogers
Emporium Rotary Club
On June 2nd, Rotarian John Rogers brought his brother Paul Rogers to both speak about their uncle Thomas E. Rogers.
Over the years, multiple members of the Rogers family researched the history of their family member, flight officer Thomas E. Rogers.
One day, John reached out and received a letter from the grandson of the man who witnessed Thomas' P51 being shot down.
The man, Vladimir Agoston, recounted that his grandparents were out in the field harvesting corn when an American aircraft was shot down and the pilot ejected on the morning of September 8, 1944 in Muszlya, Hungary.
The pilot was Thomas, and sadly his parachute did not have enough time to open fully as he was too close to the ground, and he passed on impact.
Vladimir recounted that German soldiers threatened anyone who dared touch or bury the body.
That did not stop Vladimir's grandfather and two local priests from sneaking to bury the body in the night and using pig blood to trick the soldiers into thinking that the body had been drug into the woods by animals.
Locals came and chopped up most of the aircraft for parts to use and sell.
Vladimir's grandfather took the engine and the propeller which he used to make knives and also melted down to make a stove for his wife.
Thomas was listed in the book of the dead, along with his photo in the town that he passed away.
After the war, Thomas' remains were retrieved and sent back to the USA, where he was laid to rest in the Arlington National Cemetery.
Many of you likely recognize this unique plane and the photo of Thomas from the memorial painted on the side of the Emporium VFW.
We thank Thomas and all of our other fallen heroes for their sacrifice.
Pictured from left to right is John's son Mark Rogers, brother Paul Rogers, wife Barb Rogers, and sisters Helen Zimmer and Sara Kamman.

PAUL MILLER’S LAW TAKES EFFECT JUNE 5, 2026
PAUL MILLER’S LAW TAKES EFFECT JUNE 5, 2026
Pennsylvania’s Paul Miller’s Law prohibits drivers from holding or using a handheld mobile device while operating a motor vehicle.
The law applies even when stopped temporarily in traffic, at a red light, or at a stop sign.
Drivers may still use hands-free technology, including Bluetooth-enabled devices, voice commands, and mounted devices used in accordance with the law.
Emergency communications remain exempt.
Beginning June 5, 2026, violations are enforceable as a primary offense, meaning an officer may stop a driver solely for a violation of this law.
A conviction carries a $50 fine, in addition to court costs and other applicable fees.
Distracted driving continues to be a leading cause of crashes resulting in serious injuries and fatalities. Taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds can have life-changing consequences.
Before you drive, put your phone away, activate hands-free features, and focus on the road.
Drive Focused. Drive Hands-Free. Arrive Safely.

Support for Kaitlyn and family After Tragic Loss
Support for Kaitlyn and family After Tragic Loss
Kaitlyn, the Haynes family, and the Marine Corps have lost someone incredibly special—a devoted Marine, a soon-to-be father, and a loving husband. He was known for his hard work, his infectious smile, and his ability to bring laughter to any room. His charisma and personality brightened the lives of everyone he met, and his absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of his family, friends, and community.
This was a sudden loss, and your generosity can help ease the burden of living expenses during this difficult time. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for Kaitlyn and their soon to be baby girl as they navigate this new chapter.
Please consider donating to help Kaitlyn and their soon to be baby girl, and to honor the loss felt by everyone who knew him. Your kindness and support will provide comfort and hope to a family and community who have given so much. Thank you for standing with them in their time of need.

June 3 at 7:11 AM
A drill instructor from Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island was discovered deceased in a hotel room in Starke, Florida, on May 30. The Marine Corps confirmed the identity of the individual as Sgt. Albert Haynes II, aged 24, who was in Florida to participate in a poolee function organized by U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station-Jacksonville.
The circumstances surrounding his death are currently the subject of an investigation led by the Bradford County Sheriff’s Department. Haynes hailed from Austin, Pennsylvania, and was an active member of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion at the time of his passing.
Enlisting in the Marine Corps as an 0811 Field Artillery Cannoneer, Haynes completed the Field Artillery Basic Course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, following his graduation from both recruit training and Marine Combat Training. His service record reflects a commitment to duty and excellence, highlighted by multiple accolades, including the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (with a gold star in lieu of a second award), the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
Haynes also earned the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (with two bronze stars in lieu of a third award) and the National Defense Service Medal, underscoring his contributions to the Marine Corps and his country. As the investigation unfolds, the Marine Corps community mourns the loss of a dedicated service member whose life ended tragically.
