    HMH a treasure

    I would like to make a special comment about Hardin Memorial Hospital.

Well, what if there was a way to get them off the Xbox and cellphone and still have some fun while staying out of trouble? There is a way but we currently do not have the solution. But, I know a solution. We need a hangout for teens to have fun and stay out of trouble. Doesn’t that sound nice?

  • Taking the temperature of our civic health

    Mental health, dental health, financial health all are familiar phrases. Frequently, I run across stories particularly geared to men's health, women's health or kids' health. At the grocery store, there's a whole section devoted to health and beauty aids. And at my age, I hear a lot about prostate health.
