From the Catholic Health World, January 15, 2007:
“OSF Healthcare System, Peoria, IL, plans to buy Community Medical Center of Western Illinois, Monmouth, IL, by March and to rename it OSF Holy Family Medical Center.
“The Community Medical board members said they believe “OSF has the size, strength, and expertise to address the complexities of modern health […]
It was 5 PM in Cite Soleil. The 15 month old baby boy had a good morning in the malnutrition program and mom just finished giving the baby his bath from the water in the big plastic bowl. They live in a one room shack with another family in this slum in Haiti.
Even though […]
Once again, I’m too busy to blog about anything serious, so I will leave it to others.
Heh. I found it at Chad Udell’s site Visualrinse.
Speak your piece.
Eyebrows McGee posts a glowing review of a meeting with Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL).
I am sure she had a lovely time at the coffee. My experience is different. I told him so in a letter:
You know what to do by now.
So, here I am. Wide awake at 7 a.m. (I went to sleep after Jay’s monologue) and ready to read the online edition of the Journal Star. Trouble is that the today’s articles haven’t been posted yet. That’s off, because I’ve seen articles posted as early as 4 a.m.
I suppose everyone is too busy doing […]
The poor gal and her two also-attractive friends have had to resort to a contest to see who would accompany them to the big game.
Of course, this is after eBay pulled down her ad offering to be anybody’s date to the Super Bowl. The date would be completely non-sexual, of course. Some company came to […]
The Peoria City Council will hear trail proponents’ gripes about the lack of progress on their trail extension February 6 so it’s important that they are prepared to hear misinformed, cliché-ridden, railroad-ignorant rhetoric that has already been debunked in the local blogosphere.
Some blog readers may tire of this issue, but the issue is a perfect […]
The “Parade” insert of Sundays PJS had a short piece on bottled water costing more than gasoline. Aside from the obtuse comparison of a life staining liquid vs. economy influencing commodity, (only politicians require gas to sustain life) it contained some interesting information. In the interest of clarification, since I don’t currently have anything else […]
Some updates:
For those who aren’t aware, the employees of Peoria’s only newspaper of record have created a Website to spread the word that the community is opposed to any cuts in staff that might follow the upcoming sale of the paper to a yet-unknown buyer. They’ve got an online petition, a history of the paper, […]
Recently one of the regular Peoria Pundits posters called me on a sarcastic comment I made in one of my posts. Please forgive me. I have been spending all of my time for the last three months on working and praying for a favorable outcome for our dear Maxime Petion and his family. It […]
Maxime Petion was buried across the Illinois River on Saturday. His brother and his pastor from Haiti were able to attend as were hundreds of central Illinois people who knew or had heard of Maxime.
Our friend Maxime must be in Heaven now. His life in Haiti was very difficult for 21 years. But I […]
Say what you want. Be civil.
