1 week ago | wobm.com | Kevin Williams

As the spring sports season is underway I decided to bring back a segment I’ve done in the past about how different high school sports is from my days in the 70’s to today when it comes to how parents handle situations. Old Days- Athlete (likely male at that time) comes home from practice or a game and complains to parents about their coach, usually over playing time. The athlete is looking for an ally and wants them to have his/her back as well as sympathy for the situation.

As soon as many of my friends and I learned of the savagery that Hamas-led terrorists and “ordinary” Gazans committed in southern Israel on Oct. 7, we resolved not to look at any photographs or videos of it.

The job more parents are taking to get a discount on their kids' college tuition

Mar 6, 2024 | cnbc.com | Kevin Williams

Ariel Skelley | Digitalvision | Getty ImagesMeghan Heater, 46, heads to the commissary at the University of Dayton in Ohio most weekday mornings to start assembling sandwiches and tossing salads for hundreds of hungry college kids.

The U.N. is no ‘model’ for our children

Feb 5, 2024 | clevelandjewishnews.com | Palestinian-Arab men |Kevin Williams

My Summer Is Over But Will I End Up Pain Free?

Jul 17, 2023 | wobm.com | Kevin Williams

A year ago I would have never expected to find myself in the position I am today and that is to say good-bye…for now. If you have followed me somewhat closely you likely know I have had two previous spine surgeries although they were somewhat unrelated. The most recent one (14 months ago) was supposed to take care of a lower back issue that left me hunched over and often in extreme pain and unable to do anything comfortably but sit and sleep.
