Liberty's Kids (Television Show)

This show was amazing! Liberty's Kids is an American animated historical fiction show and was produced by DIC Entertainment Corporation and was originally aired on the channel PBS Kids from September of 2002 all the way to April of 2003.

The show was created by Kevin O'Donnell and Michael Maliani who also helped develop the show along with Andy Heyward and Robby London.

The purpose of the show was to help young viewers of the origin of America. It follows Benjamin Franklin and his four fictional associates, Sarah Philips, James Hiller, Henri Richard Maurice Dutoit LeFevbre and Moses.

Liberty's Kids follows this group for 16 years of the American Revolution from the Boston Tea Party, to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and George Washington becoming the first President in America history in 1789.

I loved this show as kid, at time I thought this show had multiple seasons, only to find out that it was such one season when I was researching this show for my blog. There were 40 episodes in all about thirty minutes each through the eyes of these characters.

First, I really loved the theme song of the show called Through My Own Eyes which was so beautifully done that I still listen to it this very day.

I also the different points of view, not just from the main characters, but also the historically figures as well whether it be from the American side, the British side, the French side, the Spanish Army and the Native American point of view.

Being a bit of a history buff myself, it has always been fascinating to me to read about stuff like this. I mean lets face it, none of us were actually there to experience it. I can never imagine what all of these people were going through during this time period. The sacrifice, the dedication, betrayal, the constant in-fighting while trying to form our own nation. It certainly could have not have be easy for anyone involved with the American Revolution.

It truly was a great show to watch! And with that being said, I hope and pray that everyone has a fun and safe Fourth of July this weekend.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

Image
 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
