(Editor's note: I am not a medical journalist, so this article is an elementary introduction to the subject.) Recently my son fell from a ladder and broke his wrist, and although I was aware of the subject of screws and plates in the body, the picture of his surgery intrigued me. So I did some research on the internet about the subject. Surgical screws are made of titanium or high-grade surgical stainless steel. The sizes of the screw can span vary from .06 inches to .29 inches, depending on the...
If you turn on a tv, open a web browser, pick up a magazine, or look at any medium that presents you with an advertisement, you’ll encounter all manner of messages and ideas. One of the unifying themes in all advertising is the idea that you should be comfortable and happy all the time.

In the past, I have mentioned how I want to use my position to inspire the youthful talent that most definitely resides in this small town. So why not allow a few of those talents to tell their story of what makes writing and literature special to them. First, I am going to give a little insight into why I enjoy writing so much. I most likely have already told bits and instances of my story, but a refresher is never a bad thing. There are three reasons why writing and literature mean so much to...
copyright 2017 by Steve Sibra (previously published in The Borfski Review) On my way to make a courier pick-up at the airport I saw a three-legged dog on the side of the road. He had a sign in his mouth. I put on the brakes so I could get a better look. “NEED RIDE TO THE AIRPORT”. Five words, written in large block style letters. Now I had seen some strange things. But a three-legged hitchhiking dog with a handmade sign? I pulled over. In the rear-view mirror, I saw the dog start my way. I noticed a man was stepping up alongside the dog – h...
