Days Gone By

Feb 18, 2016
I saw a very old picture on Facebook recently with a caption that read, “How Grandmothers Used to Look”, and I had to do a double take because that really is how my grandmother used to look. I never knew my first Grandma Kinney because she passed away before I was born, so when my Grandpap Kinney remarried somewhat later…[...]

The Ohio Nursing Home Residents’ Bill of Rights

Feb 17, 2016
It is difficult to understate the magnitude of the dangers facing our elderly friends, family members and loved ones. We would like to believe that these dangers can be prevented when our elderly citizens are under the protection of a long-term care facility.  Tragically, however, this is not always the case.

The Good Old Days

Feb 15, 2016

Yes, it made everything dirty, but it worked to melt ice and snow and gave much needed traction…[...]

Driving Safely in the Ohio Valley

Feb 12, 2016
Having lived in Vermont most of my life I am no stranger to snow and treacherous road conditions. I remember specifically learning about how to drive in such conditions in driver’s ed.  Due to the fact that Vermont gets a lot more snow than West Virginia, I would say drivers in Vermont are a bit more experienced on driving in…[...]

Feb 11, 2016
The special interest agendas that have swept through the West Virginia Senate and House of Delegates show no end in sight. The oil and gas industry has been at the forefront of these efforts, mainly in its attempts to legislate the taking of property interests and rights through proposed forced pooling and forced lease integration bills.  Most people now understand…[...]

Snow Days

Feb 10, 2016
We all know why kids love it when the snow is falling and sticking on the ground; it pretty much guarantees a school cancellation. But what about us adults?  Most of us are working, sitting in our offices and looking out of the window wondering when it will stop. On top of that, we are worrying about the roads for…[...]

More Poison Water – Will It Ever Stop?

Feb 5, 2016
Flint, Mich. is once again in the news for all wrong reasons. As if the city hasn’t endured enough through impoverishment and a rapid rise in violent crime, thanks largely to “free trade” boondoggles that sent GM and other industries to Mexico, Flint is now under a state of emergency because of lead in its tap water that is poisoning…[...]
