A Roe Adventure by Yeager
Independence Day is upon us as we celebrate
the citizens of our great country. Every year we are reminded
that through a new vision, determination and hard work, our
new country broke its ties with the United Kingdom to stand on
its own as a land and people. 1776 was many years ago and I
wonder what those who declared this triumph would say looking
at how we have handled their victory. Read More
Ask the Doc by Robert Swain
Myth #1. I don't need to exercise or diet because I take supplements.
If you don't exercise or eat correctly you will never reach the optimal health that you are trying to achieve by taking supplements. All three are equally important.

Best Friends by Malcolm Riordan, DVM
At humane societies, city and county animal shelters, and
for the networks of people who foster kitten litters, it's
that busy time called kitten season. And what a scene it is.
Litter after litter of angelic sleeping kittens which in
another minute can change into mini-demon feline popcorn.
Littermates are kept together, so the rooms and cages can be
the scene of climbing, horizontal levitations, fissile
vertical accelerations, and diagonal displacements — a furry
electron jungle. Read More
Beyond the Badge by Richard Hannibal
I begin with a quote I heard recently.
"Cops wake up every morning different than the rest of
us. Our worst nightmare is their Wednesday."
Many retired police officers go to bed each night in a
sea of faces. The faces arrive in dreams, the result of
a long police career. Some of the faces smile — some cry.
Some appear from the distant past when the officer
assured a victim that everything would be all right just
before their final breath. Some of the faces rage with
anger and some whimper in defeat. Cops see them all, and
they haunt them far into retirement. Read More
Double Vision by Shana Ogren
A Jewish realist of an idealist, I hope for the
best and expect the worse. So how is it possible that the
Mwansambo Village Community Library is still open? The best
thing I did during my two year Malawi, Africa Peace Corps
service was to help some villages build and open public
libraries. It started with my village of Mwansambo in Central
Malawi. Read More
Feel Better Forever by Brian Dorfman
Sciatica is a general term used to describe the pain and
discomfort caused
by an impingement of the sciatic nerve. It is usually felt as pain
radiating
from the buttocks down the back of the leg. The pain can be sharp,
shooting
or burning. It can be constant or come in waves or shock-like
zingers.
Sitting, standing up, walking or sudden movements can worsen the
pain. Read More
