It’s a jungle in here!

Josh Hatcher Media — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:14:16 +0000

Hatcher family garden seedlings are almost all sprouted!

We are excited about getting our garden beds built, so that once the frosty nights get warmer, we can get this food in the ground!

Spring is Here – but the Ice isn’t gone yet!

Josh Hatcher Media — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 17:37:29 +0000

Took the family for a walk around the Marilla Reservoir in Bradford yesterday.
Despite being 65 degrees with a warm breeze, there’s still a slushy, punky, layer of ice on the lake!

Homemade Pitas and Hummus

Josh Hatcher Media — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:33:51 +0000

For dinner last night, For made homemade whole wheat pitas, and I made homemade hummus.

We had some hard boiled eggs, too, because the kids are a bit picky.

Topped it off with dessert… a pita with sugar free blackberry jam!

Garden Starting…

Josh Hatcher Media — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:34:20 +0000

The Hatcher family garden is in the utility room. We planted our seeds in peat pots, and salad containers.

Our experimental indoor salad green plants are already sprouted!

Evening Walk, Bradford, PA

Josh Hatcher Media — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 22:01:20 +0000

Took a walk around Bradford as the light faded. Captured some interesting photos on my camera phone.
I thought I would share.

The love of a good dog.

Josh Hatcher Media — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 01:23:23 +0000

I love my dogs.
I love the way Penny assumes that tying my shoes actually means “Come lick my face.”

The way Lincoln howls mournfully in his sleep… long and lugubrious… calling his ancient wolf brothers to the hunt… or rather to a warm life of ease… complete with head massages, biscuits, and naps by the furnace.

Raffael’s Cafe, Limestone, NY

Josh Hatcher Media — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 00:35:08 +0000

We took the family out to Raffael’s Cafe in Limestone for dinner today.

It is an amazing little place. I highly recommend.

It is only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays. So you may want to double check to make sure they are open.

Two Things I’ve Noticed while “Fasting” from Facebook

Josh Hatcher Media — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:22:28 +0000

Five Cheap Date Ideas

Josh Hatcher Media — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:58:04 +0000

Just in time for Valentine’s Day
Five Cheap Date Ideas from Joshua Hatcher

1. Go for a walk downtown. Remember walking? It’s where you put your foot on the ground, and then the other foot. Take your camera, snap some pictures next to some neat architecture. Duck into an alley for a smooch. Find a bench to sit on and watch OTHER people – making up the conversations they have with each other. Holding hands is required. Cost – $0

Frankie Bruzzi and the Tijuana Mama

Josh Hatcher Media — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 23:43:53 +0000

As I look back on my high school days, I remember many great memories with many great friends.

But for some reason, the adventures I had with Frankie Bruzzi are the ones that make the best stories.

Boy Kills Deer with Shoe

Josh Hatcher Media — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:40:27 +0000

I borrowed some of Robert Lyman’s books on Roulette History and interesting stories. I thought that since there are a lot of locals out trying to kill deer with bows and arrows – this story might be interesting!

Big Headed Lifeguards

Josh Hatcher Media — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:38:36 +0000

While were on vacation this summer, I spent some time with my kids in a hotel pool.
There were no life-guards on duty – and we were having a blast. Having contests of holding our breath – jumping off the edge of the pool together – letting the kids hold onto my back while I swam as fast as I could.

Port High Marching Band goes “Gaga”

Josh Hatcher Media — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 15:52:37 +0000

I performed in the Port High Marching band years ago – it was some of the best moments of my time at Port High.

I’ll never forget the feeling of cool autumn air – the taste of my saxophone reed, the spring of the grass under my feet. The smell of sweaty band uniforms (that never really were made for tall people) And the tingling, glowing excitement of just having finished a great field show.

Kinzua Skywalk Pictures

Josh Hatcher Media — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 02:08:03 +0000

The Hatcher Family recently trekked out to the Kinzua Viaduct to see the new “Skywalk”.

It brought back many memories of late summer/ early autumn as my folks would load us up in the car and drive out to see the fall colors start to peak through in the valley – reds, oranges, purples, yellows, all poking through the greens as if to summon the cider and the frost and the cool autumn mornings when you could see your breath.

Best and Worst Beards of All Time

Josh Hatcher Media — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 22:44:05 +0000

I’ve always wanted to grow a beard – and now that I’ve finally been able to grow a good thick lower mane – I’ve decided that I really like it.

A good beard is a thing of beauty – and worthy of admiration. Too often we see beards, and we think – “homeless bum” – and to be honest – many beards deserve such a label.
But a well-kept and groomed beard is definitely an achievement that ought to be honored.

Johnny and Henry

Josh Hatcher Media — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 00:44:01 +0000

I’ve written about Johnny Colussy before – but to recap – Johnny is a fixture in the small town of Roulette. I’m not sure his exact condition – but he’s not quite like everyone else. There are a hundred politically incorrect names he’s been called over the years. None of which I think I should be calling him. I’ll just say that he thinks, talks, and acts differently than everyone else.

Frankie Bruzzi was the kid in town that every girl’s mother wanted to come calling for their daughter. He was a muscular, polite, Italian-blooded boy with a big smile and a good reputation.

Johnny and the Sparkplug

Josh Hatcher Media — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 09:45:02 +0000

There’s a man in Roulette. A large, round man that dresses the same most every day. Faded blue jeans, pulled up to his belly button, with a tight fitting white t-shirt. In the cool air of spring and fall – he wears a faded orange or red hooded sweatshirt, and a faded red baseball cap.

I was armed with a double basket on my bike – loaded full of folded Times-Herald’s. I had received the requisite training from the previous paper bow – something similar to Kevin Costner’s swearing in ceremonies in the post-apocolyptic “The Postman” (Only another postman can make you a postman).

Corbett Tours Gas Well Service Company

Josh Hatcher Media — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:57:48 +0000

from The 1490 News Blog Click Here for More.

Governor Tom Corbett today toured Nu-Weld, Inc., a complete gas well service company in Trout Run, highlighting his commitment to growing the commonwealth’s economy and helping businesses create jobs for hardworking Pennsylvanians.

“My budget is a commitment to Pennsylvania’s workers. It supports our future by making sure workers, whether they own their business or work for someone else, have a share in the economy we are looking to build,” said Corbett.

Corbett’s proposed budget contains no tax or fee increases and cuts government spending by 3 percent, most of which is done by consolidating programs, targeting inefficiencies and reducing or eliminating discretionary financial grants.

The budget refocuses and streamlines the state’s support of free enterprise by supporting programs that will encourage economic growth and job creation, streamlining a multitude of business incentive programs and awarding tax credits as incentives for new and creative ideas to improve business and industry.

“My budget is targeted to real growth, job creation in the private sector, a lean-but-agile Department of Community and Economic Development, and a tax structure that doesn’t scare off new industries,” said Corbett. “It supports programs such as the Job Opportunity Grant Program, Job Creation Tax Credits, and the Liberty Loan Fund. Where the state can help, we’re here to help. Where we can keep out of the way and give places like Nu-Weld a running start, we’re here to shout ‘go.’”

Tim and Marilyn Satterfield started Nu-Weld Inc. in their garage with only a couple of employees. Today the company has grown to encompass 150 employees and $24 million in sales due to the Marcellus Shale boom. Most of this growth has come in the last two and a half years and spurred the Satterfields to open a second shop in Bradford County to handle the increased volume of business.

“With the Marcellus Shale development, Nu-Weld’s business has grown from $7.7 million to $24 million in only two years. That’s precisely the kind of job-creating wealth Pennsylvania needs,” said Corbett.

Nu-Weld was one of the company’s represented at last week’s Natural Gas Expo at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. Pictured from March 10, Dr. Assad Panah, left, director of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s Petroleum Technology program, talks with Gene Hillyard of Nu-Weld.
