Public asked to participate in 'The one-gallon challenge'
LOCK HAVEN — The average American family has changed a great deal in the last five decades. If the Andersons from “Father Knows Best” were real, we suspect Jim would have lost his insurance job in a corporate down-sizing or be hospitalized over the stress of trying to hang onto it by a fingernail. Margaret would have sold her pearl choker and gotten a divorce. And all three kids would be working so they wouldn’t have much time left over to get into scrapes, or even find a prom date. Today’s Andersons might resemble your own family. Perhaps it’s a blended one with five or more children and adult partners who must live paycheck to paycheck from several part-time jobs. Perhaps you’re a month or more behind on some bills and no one has any idea how you’re going to handle the next crisis — which very well could be the high cost of heating the house this winter.
