Posted in The life of the Morgantown Philanthropist on March 30, 2011 | 2 Comments »
This Wednesday I wanted to make a point that there are numerous ways to volunteer. I’m not talking about the different organizations you could become a part of. I’m talking about the actual actions you could partake in, or the ways in which you prefer to offer up your time. You get out of your [...]

I was fortunate on Thursday to stumble upon a game of pick-up baseball (slow pitch softball essentially) at White Park, just across from the Morgantown Municipal Ice Arena. White Park is home to at [...]

Posted in general, Pet Owners: A Unique Breed on March 17, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Saving just one dog won’t change the world, but it surely will change the world for that one dog.” – Richard C. Call This week I thought I’d do a piece on adopting animals. According to the ASPCA, approximately 5-7 million animals enter shelters across America each year; and 3-4 million of them are euthanized—60% [...]

- Vintage Videos & Games April 29, 2011Greetings folks, and welcome to what may very well be the final post of Mountaineer Life. We are going to look at Vintage Videos & Games, a Morgantown game store located right on High Street. Its storefront includes a lovely display case full of gaming artifacts. The display is certainly intriguing, a definite plus to [...]capnwinters

- A Meeting of the Minds April 22, 2011Over the past few weeks, I’ve been in the trenches of Morgantown’s gaming scene. We’ve looked at tabletop gaming, a Smash Bros. tournament, and the businesses which sustain these things. West Virginia University, however, has not been featured. Well that’s about to change, as I recently attended a meeting of gamers in WVU’s Cols […]capnwinters
- Neuticles: Because who wouldn’t want fake balls? April 21, 2011The answer is your pet. Neuticles have been around for nearly 16 years. And since the first surgery was performed on a 9-month-old Rottweiler named Max in 1995, more than a quarter of a million cats, dogs, and horses (yes horses) have been “Neuticled” in the U.S. and 49 other countries. What exactly are Neuticles [...]kerigero
- Women against rape April 20, 2011-WAR’s facebook page So far, I have discussed attending events, local organizations, and short-term/long-term means of a way to do volunteer work. This week’s post is about joining a club on campus. This should hopefully be a more convenient way for busy students to offer their time to the community because, well, we [...]tonicekada
- Racquetball: It’s Not For the Faint of Heart April 16, 2011I’ve been looking forward to this story more then any other. It’s ironic, of course, that I am running late on posting it to Mountaineer Life. Please forgive me. Yesterday, at U92, we had our annual reunion sports talk show, bringing back hosts from the last several years and having them on for what turned [...]awieders

I did a radio story on this issue about a year and a half ago (one of my first broadcast stories) and thought that it would be a good and different way to blog this week…I just added [...]kerigero
- Take a walk in someone else’s shoes April 13, 2011This past Sunday, I helped women and children in Africa get clean water. My dear mother and I participated in the 4th annual Amizade water walk.

I’m sure most of you have worked in the service industry. It sucks. And usually we can thank the random, oddball customer for making those jobs suck. I’ve waited tables, I’ve sold cell phone plans over the phone, I’ve bartended, I’ve been a cook. But the best/worst customer service job I’ve ever had has been [...]
