Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, July 5 through July 24

Yep, I did it again: fell behind in posting features.

But I took on some extra duties through the week and weekend to help out, so that took time. And I'm shooting more video, which I love, And as I'm posting these stories, I realize I've written most of them .Any remaining moments in the day went to the other elements of my life: God, family, friends, my novel, and a little "me" time.

Sooooooo....

You can check out the health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars. Three of them can be found at the link below. http://www.theherald-news.com/lifestyle/

Also at the link are the community feature briefs I write/edit (no byline). The fourth calendar, Gotta Do It, runs each Sunday and often stays on the home page through the week.

This time, I'm only posting the latest Pets of the Week.


Check back with www.theherald-news.com each day for new event listings. And now, without further ado....(TA DA!): the stories!
