Living by the ocean can be transformative. For Betty Pembroke Heldreich Winstedt, who first learned to surf when she moved from the mainland U.S. to Waikiki in the 1950s at the age of 41, riding the legendary aquamarine waves became her passion. But surfing would become more than a hobby; Winstedt was a pioneer and champion in a sport that saw few women take to the waves.

At Oriana House, one of the primary ways we fulfill our mission of contributing to safer communities is by helping our clients overcome barriers that prevent them from working and earning sustainable living wages. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit has been an invaluable tool for helping companies throughout Ohio hire and retain hard-working individuals who just need a chance. This has helped to bring thousands of Ohioans off of the sidelines and off of public assistance and into meaningful careers.
For these reasons, we greatly appreciate and support U.S. Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown for their role in introducing bipartisan legislation that would make the Work Opportunity Tax Credit permanent. This bill gives employers on-going assurance of support as they hire and retain overlooked individuals who are ready and willing to enter the workforce.

The end of winter might seem an odd time to think about a fire; actually, though, it’s the ideal time. If you don’t get around to ordering until you actually need it in Autumn, you’ll be lucky to get it delivered and installed in time for Christmas. Get it sorted out now and you can choose at your leisure, and any work (for installing flues etc) can be done while the weather is drier.
But what should you go for if you don’t yet have one? Our round up of hte best log burners is an ideal place to start and if you’re not sure whether you want a log burner or open fire, read our ‘grate debate’ (ho ho) on open fires v wood-burning stoves.
