There is a new program being offered in Monroe County to assist with transportation to medical appointments, for residents that do not qualify for other transportation programs, you can sign up for the Care Connects transportation program through MCTA.Care Connects is a partnership between MCTA and Pocono Mountains United Way and provides transportation to medical appointments and pharmacy visits for individuals who do not qualify for other MCTA transportation programs. There are no income or age restrictions, so it is an excellent opportunity to assist individuals who are just getting by and don’t qualify for other transportation assistance. This program is good for trips that begin and end in Monroe County only and was made possible by funding from Sanofi.For more information or to access the online application, visit www.gomcta.com/careconnects.php.

The duration between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is known as the “Holiday Blues” for some. Instead of people being merry and singing carols with their loved ones, they may feel sad. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reported that 24 percent of people with predetermined mental illnesses feel worse around the holidays. Some people trace back their feelings to “seasonal depression,” which is medically known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This is a disorder that comes and goes with the changing seasaons; however, its symptoms are strongest in the winter.

A security officer’s life typically involves a mix of personal time and professional development, which involves staying alert to ensure safety in various settings. Have you ever wondered what a Stroudsburg High School (SHS) security officer’s life looks like after school hours? We asked the students’ favorite, Officer A. Rodriguez, what his after-school hours are like on a day-to-day basis. Q: What do you do at home? A: I go home to my family and work around the house. Whatever the wife wants me to do; I’ll do it. I help my daughters with things and fix their cars (change the oil, tires, etc.). Q: Do you have any hobbies? A:  I love to play with my guitar and listen to music. I also enjoy watching football, my favorite team is the Minnesota Vikings. I used to play football, but now I just watch it for fun.
