It was quite likely the Perry Mason television series that made first generations of parents “experts” on courtroom proceedings. Subsequent casts would have casual observers believe that The People’s Court reflects current reality. [1-3] Long ….

October Is National Physical Therapy Month and You Should Care

October 1, 2017
Despite the presence of leading facilities that provide physical therapy services right here in the City of Saline, too many members of our community aren’t fully aware of just how much this really benefits them.

Much, much closer to home. Also of a much, much different historical significance. [2,3] It wouldn’t ....

Formal calls for prayer on behalf of the United States of America actually pre-date the country itself. The first came in 1775, “with the first call to prayer that happened when the Continental Congress called for prayers for the forming nation.” Democratic President Harry S Truman signed the first official declaration by Congress of a national day of prayer in 1952. Republican President Ronald Reagan amended that law to designate the first Thursday in May ....
