Alcohol for adult use is perfectly legal, and accessible. Many enjoy it in limited amounts, and manage to have successful lives. However, when we look at the overall costs to society, alcohol is the substance that costs us the absolute most. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is one way we pay. Women of childbearing age who are actively planning to become…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing, Jan. I am definitely someone who gets “tech neck” frequently from screen time (9:49pm and I’m hunched over a computer…oops). Do you have any information on techniques to lower screen time in working individuals and/or stretches to help combat neck and back pain stemming from screen time? Thanks!

I’d like to see our children and youth actively engaged in movement and deeply thought provoking activities. The time spent on cell phones, computers, video games, and tablets continues to be quite alarming. What are your ideas for our precious young ones?

I worry that our area isnt providing the jobs, doctors, and education of children that keep a family here in Allegany County. We have alot to offer that doesnt translate into tangable things that people can relate to. I dont want my child to have to move away in order to get a good paying job. Does anyone else worry about the same thing?

Thank you for mentioning this. I think many of us feel the same way. For those who wish to become a health professional, the salary outlook is much improved over many of the other jobs near here.
