  • Tyrades! Is it nice to fool Mather Nature?

    Danny Tyree|May 23, 2024

    Yes, I was hunkered down paying rapt attention to the weather report on May 8 when an EF-3 tornado rampaged through a neighboring county. Understandably, I was intrigued by a May 11 “New York Post” article about a technological push to manipulate the weather. Eleven states already maintain “old school” programs of seeding clouds with silver iodide to generate precipitation; but around the world, weather wizards are brainstorming other tactics for dealing with droughts, flash floods and related...

    Veronica Tilden DO|May 23, 2024

    Have you given up your toxic plastic water bottles yet? Another very effective action is to use unscented laundry detergent and avoid the dryer sheets. Laundry perfume is not very attractive and is definitely toxic. The second big toxin category is man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs). There are four main types. Electric fields exposure comes from your house wiring, smart meter, electric blanket and corded appliances. Magnetic fields are present with power lines, wiring errors in your house, electric clocks, and motors (think refrigerator)....

  • One Day at a Time

    Evelyn 'E.T.' Trevathan|May 23, 2024

    Well it is a cool and cloudy morning here in our little valley. A light rain is falling and it is a little too damp to sit on the front porch. Even with the rain the cats were up and waiting on breakfast, but now that they have finished they have snuggled back down for a nap until the rain is over.

    Once again last week, the weather has been a big influence on the area as Wednesday afternoon there was hail in some places about the size of a baseball. During the thunderstorm that brought the hail a large tree fell just below my house and several on Claude Carroll Rd and on Little Swan Creek toward highway 412 were without power for several hours. The power was restored thanks to MLEC at about eight pm but the internet and phones were out until Thursday about noon. There were lots of tree limbs and debris around the area and we were under a...
