Utah Mine Disasters Then and Now

I 've written an article on the Scofield Utah mine disaster in 1900. My grandmother's first husband was killed in the explosion and many more miners died when they tried to escape when they breathed deadly carbon monoxide. About 250 miners died.

A second article asks "How Do We Stack Up?" We say that America is the greatest country in the world. Is it? What do we need to do to change our image in the world?

A third article answers Science Questions for kids.

The articles are available at:

Names of Current Utah Miners and the 1900 Utah Mine Explosion

Reported at http://www.abc4.com/mostpopular/story.aspx?content_id=b1fb2b27-36f2-4eae-af2e-cf9387c3d8fa
a local newspaper is reporting the names of the six trapped miners. They are Manuel Sanchez, Brandon Phillips, Carlos Payan, Kerry Allred, Don Erickson and Luis Hernandez. The net also reports that three are Mexican citizens.

I have an interest because my grandmother's first husband was killed in the mine explosion that killed over 200 men in a Utah mine explosion in 1900. Those not killed by the explosion were killed by carbon monoxide. See the story at http://historytogo.utah.gov/utah_chapters/mining_and_railroads/thescofieldminedisasterin1900wasutahsworst.html

I wonder who (or if) I would be if my could-have-been grandfather had survived.

Writing 101: Why didn’t I write this before? Maybe you did!

The Hack Writer is pretty old. That's why I often repeat myself. But is that all bad?

Those of us that write for the Internet are always looking for ways to expand an article or to break it up into a number of separate articles. That is because the more articles you publish, the more Internet exposure you get. Print writers do the same thing.

So, the hack writer has created another article on the subject at http://ezinearticles.com/?Writing-101---Why-Didnt-I-Write-This-Before?-Maybe-You-Did&id=670429
