Teens with a cross-cultural kinship
NEW CASTLE, Pa. — Kaia Solberg is 15, and loves dancing, shopping, scrapbooking and Robert Pattinson, the actor from the Twilight movies.

Camping, with and without ‘flushers’
People are often surprised to discover that I camp. I know how that is. I’m often surprised myself. I am not an outdoorsy type of gal. I’m more the indoorsy type. With cable. When we camp I expect, at minimum, an air mattress to keep my princess-and-the-pea-like self off the unforgiving ground, decent meals and
