“Pets Continue to Suffer from Vet Shortage”

“On a recent Sunday morning our dog Albert was clearly in distress. We took him to a Greensboro 24-hour emergency vet clinic. But we were told there was no one on staff who could perform surgery. We were given a list of other emergency vets to call, but each were either closed or had no surgeon available. Albert was not long for this world when I found Dr. Joseph Kinnarney of Reidsville Veterinary Hospital.”

Which brings up the difference between service and support when it comes to animals, and why Publix grocery stores are caught in the middle of a controversy over the two designations.”

“Above All, Racists Are Cowards”

“On August 1st, a national monument was erected to honor Emmitt Till, who was lynched in 1955. At that ceremony, there was hope among some of us stupidly naïve Americans that we might see an end to violent racism in our lifetime. Sadly, not only are race relations still bad, they are in some ways, even worse than in 1955.”
