Nash Health Care faces loss in 2007
Two thousand and seven wasn’t a good year for Nash Health Care Systems. For the first time in many years, the hospital experienced an operating loss. But according to CEO Larry Chewning, who was hired in January 2008, the board is addressing the problems and taking the necessary steps to ensure 2008 is better.
“That’s the first time that’s happened in a long, long time at Nash Health Care Systems,” Chewning said of the loss. “By no means are you hitting the panic button or is the hospital about to go under.” More ...

Mr. Kennedy taught us to enjoy life to its fullest
In December of 2002, we published an article about a man and his collection of toys. He spoke about how collecting toys was his hobby and that you’re really never too old to play with them. He continued to explain that collecting the toys kept him young. While I’m sure the toys helped, I think it was his attitude and outlook on life in general that attributed to his being forever young.
The man in the story was our very own Mr. James Kennedy, or better known as “Mr. K” here at The Graphic. More ...

Mr. Kennedy was a truly special man to all of us
There’s something missing here at the Graphic office. It’s been missing for several months now but on Friday, that emptiness became even more apparent. Mr. James Kennedy, or “Mr. K” as we fondly called him here, passed away.
Mr. K was 84 years old though I use the term “old” loosely because quite frankly, he had more spunk than any of us here at The Graphic. I should say he was 84 years young. More ...
