I Heart Appalachia: February 2011
http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 20, 2011. Our Polluted Appalachian Mountain Home. Mountaintop removal is a technique used by coal-mining companies that involves blasting away the tops of mountains and hills to get to the coal seams beneath. Back when I was a reporter for the Bristol Herald Courier. If you love the Appalachian region, I recommend reading a very interesting op-ed piece. Titled "My Polluted Kentucky Home" from The New York Times. And here's another article, EPA Study Confirms Damage From Strip Mining.

I Heart Appalachia: All I Wanted for Christmas Was a Big Red Bike
http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2010/12/all-i-wanted-for-christmas-was-big-red.html
Wednesday, December 1, 2010. All I Wanted for Christmas Was a Big Red Bike. The first Christmas that I can remember well was the Christmas of 1965. I would turn four just a month later, and I had asked Santa for a bicycle. A red bicycle. After a growth spurt in the summer of 1965, my tricycle had lost all appeal. Besides, I was certain that I could climb on a bike and just ride- without any instruction. It was my destiny. That night, all snuggled in my bed and dre. He's yelling at Santa, I thought! Parts...

I Heart Appalachia: Appalachia Defined
http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2009/12/appalachia-defined.html
Wednesday, December 23, 2009. A West Coast friend who just read my blog asked: So.what exactly is Appalachia? You know the old adage about "assuming," right? Obviously, this is a question that I should have answered in my first I Heart Appalachia blog. To help with the explanation, I surfed to the Web site for an important commission that was formed in 1963 to advise President John F. Kennedy and was established as a federal agency. The Appalachian Regional Commission. In 1965, one in three Appalachians ...

I Heart Appalachia: Is this Why Celtic Music Makes My Heart Sing?
http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2010/05/is-this-why-celtic-music-make-my-heart.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. Is this Why Celtic Music Makes My Heart Sing? For as long as I can remember, Celtic music has made my heart "sing." I feel every note from the tips of my toes to the top of my head.and deep inside my heart. When it's a slow tune, my emotions ebb and flow with the emotional story the ballad tells. When it's a fast tune, my feet don't want to be still. Celtic music calls to me because it's part of my heritage, and something deep down inside recognizes the connections.

I Heart Appalachia: It Was Good
http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2010/11/it-was-good.html
Wednesday, November 24, 2010. I had the pleasure and privilege to grow up on a farm in Southwest Virginia. In point of fact, I was pretty much just 'across the ridge' from the creator of this blog for all my formative years and didn't even realize it. Neither did I fully realize at the time how privileged I truly was, nor how intense the pleasures were while growing up. I was privileged that I had excellent role models in learning how to work and how to live. Work worth doing was worth doing well....

I Heart Appalachia: The Appalachian Service Project Offers a Great Way to Make a Difference in Appalachia
http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2011/06/appalachian-service-project-offers.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. The Appalachian Service Project Offers a Great Way to Make a Difference in Appalachia. The older we get, the more we tend to look back- even on a life well lived- and think to ourselves: I should have done more. Ironically, the best times in our lives to give back are when we are young, full of vim and vigor, and still firmly sure that we will change the world. Here is some information about it:. In other words, we need you. Labels: Appalachia service volunteer. Lonesome Pine Schoo...
