Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, April 2 through April 7

Running a bit behind this morning, not quite up to par yet. I'm the weekend editor, too, so still trying to take it a bit easy AND work, a daunting task.

And now...

First, the non-bylined work: the health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars. Three of them can be found at this link:. http://www.theherald-news.com/lifestyle/

Gotta Do It, runs each Sunday and often stays on the home page throughout the week.

Feature briefs for Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (Arts and Entertainment), and Sunday (People) are also edited (texted and photos) by the lady of this blog, but only the stories have bylines.

Another option: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61. And of course, I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries.

Just an FYI: On free days, holidays, and Sundays I'm not on call, I only post the blog to my "real" Twitter account, as my company insists we do take time off. I'm less reasonable, so unless I'm on a real vacation, I still post to the BryonySeries accounts.

FYI: videos have not been attaching to my Herald-News stories, although they do run for a time on the home page. You may also find them under the "videos" tab.

If you'd like to watch a video, and it's not showing up for you, message me, and I'll manually attach it. No worries for this week, though, although I will have videos for Sunday.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Frankfort woman and Palestinian native recognized for educational contributions to Arabic youth

Hala Tibi Qato takes a diverse approach when teaching the Arabic language and religion

The students read Arabic literature and listen to Arabic radio broadcasts. They put on skits in Arabic and play charades in Arabic. Qato found the students enjoyed role-playing, which impacted their love for the language.

Shorewood HUGS seeking nominations for its Hugs & Wishes program

While the amounts appear small compared with overall need – $250 for a hug and $500 for a wish – recipients are generally “tickled pink” that someone thought they were deserving and took the time to show it, President Susan Underwood said.
