Still so much to accomplish this summer
Just because we’re in the lazy days of summer, doesn’t mean there aren’t things to do still
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I can’t help feeling that once 4th of July hits the summer slowly seeps away. Fall is right around the corner! School bags and supplies are making their way to the front of the stores.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
As much as I look forward...
Winning the gold for fashion
The Olympics are exciting, the fashion choices often not so much
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I am not particularly athletic.
If I had to describe my physical prowess, I would qualify myself as “sporty” (Spice. Ha!) (Sorry for the 90’s reference…had to do it.)
I like to sweat and I enjoy a good 60-minute (max) workout (in an air-conditioned facility).
And, I am fiercely...
Corporate dentistry: what’s the difference? Plenty
At so-called ‘dental mills’ PBS report airs concerns that profit trumps patient needs
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
Once upon a time – a dentist opened up an office and provided patient care. Satisfied patients referred their friends and families and his (or her) business grew. These dental practices (like mine) answer only to their patients. A private...
You can take the girl out of the city…
Wyoming offers spectacular views, but it’s hard to say which is scarier: the local fashions or the need to carry bear repellant
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I am a city slicker (even though I live in rural Chester County).
I enjoy being a mere hop, skip and a jump away from great malls, little boutiques and nail salons. I can appreciate beautiful scenery, certainly. However,...
The mark of the beastly
Tattoos are forever, so when you ink, so do carefully
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I have been threatening to write an article about tattoos for months.
Truth is, I’m a chicken. I know that people with “ink” take it VERY seriously…and, let’s face it, most of them could easily kick my butt.
HOWEVER, in the true spirit of free speech, I feel that it is my duty as a fashion...
For Father’s Day, a poem
An ode to the men who make a difference in all our lives
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
With baby’s cry a Father is born
From darkest sky to early morn
He takes his turn to guide, to teach
Protecting babe from danger’s reach
With strength and wisdom on his side
His love is deep, his knowledge wide
Dental implants: a reliable choice to replace missing teeth
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
The earliest dental implants seemed to have been placed by the early Egyptians when they used seashells implanted in the jaw bones to replace missing teeth. The first modern dental implants were placed in 1952. Dental implants have come a long way since those early implants. No longer is dental implant treatment considered experimental...
Words of wisdom for new grads
Enjoy yourself, but consider this short list of do’s and don’ts
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
Dear Graduating Class of 2012,
I will keep my commencement address short and sweet. I know that you are anxious to venture out into the world…a world much bigger than our rural little piece of the planet. But, before you do, remember the following:
Sun is great, sunburn, not so much
Summertime means being smart and taking care of your skin
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
You know what is NOT an attractive look?
A sizzling red sunburn.
You know how I know this? Because it has happened to me (GO FIGURE) many, many times.
You need proof?
Right now, my dermatologist is sitting on the deck of his ocean front beach house toasting my Irish heritage. I’m sure...
Building the ultimate ‘beach bag’ for summer
Pack light, but pack smart when you head to the shore
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
I looooove to go to the beach! It is not officially summer (no matter how high the temperature gets) until my feet are in the sand and I can smell that delicious salt air.
Not to boast, but I think I may have perfected the ultimate weekend “Beach Bag” by whittling down to these fabulous...
