  • Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to sex education

    Rachel Simmons|Updated Feb 5, 2020

    For parents, it can be a nerve-racking time as children start to reach the age where they are old enough to learn about pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The child needs not only to understand the ways in which these can occur, but also the importance of prevention. Navigating this topic with a child can be stressful, and many parents feel as though they are not well enough equipped to answer questions or discuss this subject; which, despite many efforts to...

  • Helping in the healing

    Ken Knutson|Updated Jan 29, 2020

    Hinsdale pharmacist Steve Hiemenz said his professional paradigm has less to do with pill dispensing and more to do with patient management. And that's just fine with him. "My ultimate goal as a pharmacist is to work in a pharmacy that doesn't have any medications on the shelf," he said. Perhaps that will be reality one day at Elm Plaza Pharmacy, which Hiemenz opened nearly 20 years ago in the medical building at 908 N. Elm St. His day typically starts around 6 a.m. "I go...

  • Life, liberty and the pursuit of libraries

    Karen Keefe|Updated Jan 22, 2020

    My fourth-grader is studying the American Revolution. Which means our family is constantly being told or quizzed about the American Revolution. ("No, I don't know the date of the Boston Massacre. ... Yes, I'm sure that it was before 1776.") It has also caused me to reflect on how scary, courageous and amazing the founding of our country was.
