New research has revealed that most treatments being offered to teenagers with persistent back pain are ‘outdated’ and ignore ‘big picture’ issues. The study has shown that new approaches to tackling back pain are not being tested among teenagers.
Hello, my name is Isabella Humphrey, and I am a new contributor to the Historic Union County newspaper/website. I would like to introduce myself to you and tell you what I hope to accomplish by contributing my articles. I received my diagnosis of being on the Autism spectrum at the age of 3 and I am currently a senior at Union County High School. My career goal is to be a proofreader and Mr. Russell has given me the opportunity to help achieve that goal.
I heard it recently while sitting on the back deck with my husband Tim. It brought back a childhood memory I hadn’t thought of in years.
When I was ten years old, both of my parents worked, so I spent my summers at my grandparents’ house. One day, I was playing in their carport when I began to hear tinkling music that was growing louder. It sounded like a children’s song.
My Aunt Fleetie Thomas introduced me to Mark Twain.
This is one of the flukes in my reading experience, as my aunt was neither highly educated or literary. I was staying with her for a few days during a summer when I was in the upper elementary grades. Either she bought me the volume that contained two of Twain’s most popular books (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), or I bought it myself. I do remember it came from a rummage sale. I loved that book.
There are many good peanut butter recipes. Here is another one. This makes a lot of cookies. There will be some to share with your friends. In large mixing bowl, cream shortening, peanut butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and baking powder. Gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in cereal, nuts, coconut and oatmeal.
The autumn coloration of trees is always looked forward to with anticipation, and is beginning to show in the higher elevations. The presence of a large number of tree species having brilliant fall foliage is more unusual than you think, as the only other places in the world with a similar abundance of foliage colorations are northern China, Korea, and Japan.
The theme of Union County Heritage Festival on October 7 is “Going to Grandma’s.” The 19th festival will immerse you in all things that remind you of the most lovable grandmothers you can imagine from eating hot, freshly baked biscuits and pie to admiring finely stitched quilts and purses.
Mayor Jason Bailey was re-elected by acclamation to be the chairman of the Union County Commission at the regular meeting on September 25.
Commissioner Sidney Jessee Jr., who represents District 2, was also re-elected to serve as vice chairman. Although absent from the meeting,
Plainview City will not allow tiny homes to be built inside the city limits due to the passage of Ordinance #157 on its second reading at the September 12 meeting.
The ordinance does allow homes of at least 401 square feet, which is only one square foot more than the definition of a tiny home at 400 square feet.
"Stitched with Love, Remembering Grandma" is the 2023 Union County Heritage Festival Limited Edition Collectible Print. The inspiration for the 2023 Limited Edition Collectible Print by noted artist Betty Bullen was her own memories of grandmothers who lovingly stitched quilts for their grandchildren. This year’s festival theme is “Going to Grandma’s.”
