  We stood atop a hill in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, and I do mean rural. Cars, trucks, SUVs and RVs kept pulling into the parking area.

• MIKE LUNSFORD: The value of hard work goes well beyond a paycheck

  Years ago, I used to drive into Rosedale to get my workday started with a big cup of black coffee.

• MIKE LUNSFORD: His tolerance for insects ends with sawyer beetles

  As I sloshed a can of water over a pot of red petunias a Sunday morning ago, I saw a pine sawyer beetle make its way slowly up the vinyl siding near my front door. I swatted it to the concrete, and smashed it with my shoe … with impunity, I might add.
