Patrick Pellin of Austintown, an Ohio licensed funeral director and enbalmer with Kinnick Funeral Home in Youngstown for the past 20 years, talks about the need for the COVID-19 vaccine for the funeral home industry while donning personal protective equipment gear next to an embalming table.
With the COVID-19 pandemic not showing signs of slowing, the Ohio Funeral Directors Association wants included in vaccine conversations.
When the vaccine rollout was announced, death care workers should have been included in “Phase 1A” alongside health care workers and first responders, according to an Oct. 2 publication by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine.
BALTIMORE (AP) - It was, hands down, the most glorious year for Baltimore sports.
Half a century ago, all four of the city’s pro teams won acclaim in a rare confluence of athletic success. In October 1970, the Orioles captured the World Series; three months later, the Colts won the Super Bowl. That April, the Baltimore Bullets won their division and reached the NBA finals. And the Clippers, the city’s gritty hockey team, won their first division crown in the American Hockey League.
Remember the Clippers? A hodgepodge of NHL hopefuls, has-beens and career minor leaguers, who played for 12 years before a hardy core of fans who cheered every body check. Formed in 1962, the Clippers christened the Civic Center (now Royal Farms Arena) that season and hit their stride years later under coach Terry Reardon, a tough little Irishman with a keen eye for talent. Reardon, who was also general manager, smoked cheap cigars and, arms raised, shouted “Yowsah!” after every goal.
