Grateful Westlake Regional Hospital is here

'You see, we moved here from an area where they have much bigger, better staffed, state of the art hospitals. Hard to compare those to Westlake. But now we live here. And I'm SO grateful Westlake is here for our community, and has such a professional, caring ER staff. - ANITA REES

By Anita Rees

My husband Mark had heart surgery at the UK hospital on Thursday. We went home Friday afternoon. A few hours after we got home he was having difficulty breathing, so I drove him to the ER at Westlake.

It was Friday night, and naturally they were pretty busy. They took Mark in immediately, and started treatment to make him more comfortable. The doctor ran some tests, then consulted with one of the cardiologists at UK.

Next earlier Happy Tail: Happy Tail - Dogs and cats have quirks, too

By Peg Schaefer

After a 37 year drought we have a Triple Crown Winner! American Pharoah made it look so effortless. He took the lead and held it all the way across the finish line. He won by 5 lengths. It was the second fastest Belmont in history. Secretariat holds the record since 1977. Penny Chenery, Secretariat's owner, was there to cheer American Pharoah on. I had goosebumps. You'd think he was my horse. Now he's America's horse.

Tom Chaney: The Battered Innocence in Us

Of Writers And Their Books: The Battered Innocence in Us. Tom says the yearning for leaving, for a lesson just out of reach, gives both Burke and Warren stature in the art of short fiction where quality is defined by neither plot nor character, but by the awakening in the character of an awareness which cannot be undone. This column first appeared 6 June 2010.

By Tom Chaney

The Battered Innocence in Us

When I pick up a James Lee Burke novel, I get set for a stomach-wrenching, moral roller coaster ride. Not a one of his characters who must confront himself fails to do so without taking me along for the ride.

I just discovered his 1985 short story collection The Convict. There be not a dud among the nine included, but the title story is the clincher.
