In the aftermath of last Wednesday night’s brush with Tropical Storm Idalia, I'd give us a Passing Grade on Hurricane Preparedness overall...we had time to prepare and act on positive answers and solutions to storm readiness and survival.    ..although we weren’t severely tested this time.  Only you can give yourself the most honest grade.  And It’s been 4 years since Florence came through and we’re probably due for (shall we call it) a “situation. “   That’s why we won’t stop discussing storm readiness.  Today is Labor Day Sunday....the first days of September...lots of time to fortify our homes and family approach to disaster preparation.

Finally, on Today’s Talkback, some tougher news from the Cumberland County Public Health department and three of its communicable disease experts, Public Health Director Dr. Jennifer Green, Alba Nataly and Megan Jenkins.  A reminder that tough problems require honest, straight-ahead talk and blunt terminology.  WE won’t shy away from either as we discuss real problems and their accompanying solutions.  The first to speak is Alba Nataly and the next female voice will be Dr. Jennifer Green.  Both are alarmed , because in just the last few weeks, Cumberland County has experienced a sharp uptick in new cases of HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) as well as other Sexually Transmitted Infections....and it’s time as a community to stop its spread.
